Alternate revenue bonds bill edited Amendment waters down voters’ ability to halt certain taxing district spending plans By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com Facing opposition from lobbyists and members of his own party, state Rep. David McSweeney filed an amendment that tempers his bill aimed at ending alternate revenue bond abuses. A revised HB983, co-spon-

sored by McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and Jack Franks, D-Marengo, still tightens regulations in the debt reform act, specifically for double-barrel bonds, but the bill’s original parameters have been watered down. “I want to get something done that meets my objectives,” McSweeney said. “I

stand by the original legislation, but it’s clear it wasn’t going to pass.” Alternate revenue bonds typically are issued by taxing districts to pay for projects with the understanding that the loan is backed by an identified revenue stream tied to the project. The problem with this financing mechanism is

that if revenue projections fall short, it could mean an increase on district property-tax bills. The legislation still makes it easier to initiate what some call a “backdoor referendum” and requires that feasibility studies – which are needed to issue these bonds – aren’t done by someone who could

benefit from the outcome of the study. The amendment sent the bill back to the Rules Committee, where it remained as of Tuesday afternoon. It removes a provision from the reform bill that created a state procurement officer through

Area groups adapt to aging, diversified population By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com McHenry County’s population has gotten bigger, older and more diverse in the 21st century, and local employers, schools and governments already have been challenged to adapt to the changing demographics. Schools and local municipalities are being tasked with shifting

curriculums and services that accommodate non-native English speakers. Employers also face the prospects of a brain-drained workforce as the aging Baby Boomer generation approaches retirement and takes its institutional memory with it. The county’s demographic changes are in line with national trends, with longer lifespans, shifting cultural norms, increased im-

migration and the economic downturn as contributing factors. “We have a nice, diverse population in the county,” said Jeffrey Poynter, director of the McHenry County Workforce Network Board. “We still have a strong, historical population, but bringing in other cultures has given us a different perspective on employment opportunities.” The other cultures that have

gravitated to the county include the nation’s fastest-growing ethnicity. More than 15,600 Latinos have moved to the county in the 21st century, a comparison of the 2000 and 2010 censuses shows. The county overall has grown by more than 48,600 people, as the county’s majority race represented a lesser share of the population.

VATICAN CITY – This time there was no doubt. There was no new pope yet, and the mystery of who – and when – was as thick as the unmistakable heavy black smoke billowing from the Sistine Chapel chimney. As thousands waited in a cold night rain in St. Peter’s Square, the cardinals signaled Tuesday they had failed on their first attempt to find a leader for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics and their troubled church. “It’s black, it’s black, it’s waaay black!” screamed Eliza Nagle, a 21-year-old Notre Dame theology major on an exchange program in Rome, as the smoke poured from the 6-foot-high copper chimney at 7:41 p.m. “They definitely got the color right this time,” agreed Father Andrew Gawrych, an American priest based in Rome, referring to the confusion over the smoke during the 2005 conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI. That was thanks to special smoke flares – akin to those used in soccer matches or protests – lit in the chapel ovens to make the burned ballots black, the sign that cardinals must come back for another day of voting today. Tuesday’s drama unfolded against the backdrop of the turmoil unleashed by Benedict’s surprise resignation

Library’s golf outing a sure sign of spring Melting snow. Budding trees. Sprouting bulbs. All signs of spring. Another one for me is the Mini Links Golf Outing at the Woodstock Public Library, and each winter I happily await its arrival. The fifth annual event, which transforms the library into a 18-hole miniature golf course, will take place Friday and Saturday at the library, 414 W. Judd St., Woodstock. Golfers follow a course that traverses all three levels of the library. Highlights include putting into the elevator and dealing with a variety of obstacles, including sand and water. Really. In the past, holes have included spirals, jumps and crazy twists. Some have used ductwork, skateboards and potted plants. There’s even been a “money” tree. How do I know this? Because I’ve

VIEWS Joan Oliver played the course each and every year the event has been held. And I wouldn’t miss it. This year, the Friends of the Woodstock Public Library have added a Friday night event, Library After Dark, which will include the Mini Links course, hors d’oeuvres and drinks. This special event runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday. Attendees for Library After Dark must be 21 or older, and the cost is $25 per person. Tickets must be bought in advance at the library. Families still can hit the links on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. The last tee time will be at 3 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $3

for children 8 and younger. Tickets may be bought at the door. As in years past, golf professionals from the Bull Valley, Woodstock, Boulder Ridge and Prairie Isle country clubs will play a round in the afternoon. Those who beat their scores will win prizes. Golfers even can win a (model) car if they make a hole-in-one on a designated hole. For the record, I’m 0-for-4 on that one. Maybe this is my year. Attendees also can enter a raffle for some sweet prizes, including a Tower of Games, golf accessories and a Page for a Day for state Rep. Jack Franks. Raffle tickets cost $1 each or six for $5. Winners need not be present to win. If you can’t make it to the Mini Links event, you still can enter the raffle, which is going on at the library all this week. All the proceeds go to help the

8WATER COOLER Man returns book to library 69 years late TALLINN, Estonia – An Estonian man has returned a library book 69 years late, partly blaming a World War II aerial bombing that damaged the library for the late return. Ivika Turkson of the Tallinn Central Library said that last week the man in his mid-80s returned the overdue book – which was checked out on March 7, 1944, while Estonia was occupied by Nazi Germany – along with an apology and an offer to pay a late fee. Turkson said Tuesday the library waived any penalty for the late return of the book, which still contained the original emblem and serial number, allowing librarians to identify it. It was not clear why the man waited so long to return the book, a work of fiction by Estonian author Eduard Vilde.

New York cop convicted in cannibalism plot By DAVID B. CARUSO and LARRY NEUMEISTER The Associated Press NEW YORK – Police Officer Gilberto Valle’s lawyers said he was just spinning sick and twisted fantasies for his own pleasure when he chatted online about abducting, roasting and eating women. A jury, though, decided he was deadly serious. Valle, 28, was convicted Tuesday of conspiracy in a macabre case that opened a window on a shocking Internet world of cannibalism fetishists. He could get life in prison at sentencing June 19 but is likely to face much less. His lawyers branded the outcome a “thought prosecution” that sets a danger-

That man was also arrested and is awaiting trial. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement: “Today, a unanimous jury found that Gilberto Valle’s detailed and specific plans to abduct women for the purpose of committing grotesque crimes were very real and that he was guilty as charged.

Coroner identifies 4 Ill. teens killed in crash CHICAGO – A coroner has identified the four high school students killed when their car skidded off a bridge into an icy creek in rural northern Illinois. Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil said 14-year-old Matthew Bailey, 15-year-old Cody Carter, 17-year-old Cheyenne Fender and 15-year-old Micalah Sembach died in the accident. O’Neil said all four teenagers were from Wilmington, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The Will County Sheriff’s Department said the bodies were recovered Tuesday from Forked Creek near Wilmington. The teens had been missing since Monday evening.

Ohio city ponders night that left 6 teens dead WARREN, Ohio –Young people call them “kickbacks”: a small gathering of friends, less than a party but more grown-up than a sleepover. Something to do on weekends after the mall closes and the last movie lets out. A kick-back may hold the answers this struggling northwestern Ohio industrial city is searching for after six teenagers died when a stolen SUV crashed into a pond. Two other teens escaped the submerged vehicle after it flipped over a guardrail. The eight teens were crammed into a five-passenger Honda Passport as it sped down a desolate road Sunday. On Monday, with authorities releasing no details about where the teens were going or coming from, family and friends are struggling to fit the pieces of the tragedy together.

In budget, GOP takes aim at spending By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Republicans redoubled their efforts to roll back signature accomplishments of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, offering a slashing budget plan that would repeal new health care subsidies and cut spending across a wide swath of programs dear to Obama and his Democratic allies. The GOP plan was immediately rejected by the White House as an approach that “just doesn’t add up” and would harm America’s middle class. Obama has rebuffed similar plans two years in a row and ran strongly against the ideas when winning re-election last year – when its chief author, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was on the Republican ticket. Ryan’s budget illustrates

Fracking opponents rally at capital against proposal By REGINA GARCIA CANO The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Environmentalists and land owners rallied Tuesday against a proposal that would jumpstart hydraulic fracturing in Illinois, saying the drilling practice – known as fracking – is unsafe and requires further study. The bill is among the strictest in the nation but was written with help from the oil and gas industries, which have been seeking certainty in the law before investing too heavily in the practice. Fracking uses high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals to

crack deep rock formations that then release oil and natural gas. Bruce Ratain, of advocacy organization Environment Illinois, and others are seeking a 2-year moratorium on the practice. Ratain said that would allow for more environmental and health impact studies and for advances in drilling technology that might ease problems. Some land owners say they were ignored during the negotiations in which the fracking regulatory bill was crafted and fear their communities’ water could be polluted and that fracking could cause earthquakes. Tabitha Tripp, who lives on 10 acres in Union Coun-

ty, was upset that legislators supported the fracking proposal. “I have a home, a well and two kids, and all it would take is one spill and I would lose everything,” Tripp said. Ratain said fracking has been “a rolling environmental disaster” in other states. He said Illinois’ proposed new regulations – while tougher overall than those in other states – don’t include provisions that environmentalists and land owners consider essential, including keeping control of fracking activities local, banning the use of toxic chemicals and requiring drilling sites to be farther from residential areas.

sponding with a milder plan that would repeal automatic spending cuts that began to take effect earlier this month while offering $100 billion in new spending for infrastructure and job training. The Democratic counter won’t be officially unveiled until today, but its rough outlines were described by aides. They spoke only on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to describe it publicly. That plan by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., would raise taxes by almost $1 trillion over a decade and cut spending by almost $1 trillion over the same period. But more half of the combined deficit savings would be used to repeal the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts that began to hit the economy earlier this month and are slated to continue through the decade.

All this was in the works as Obama trekked to the Capitol to join Senate Democrats for their weekly closed-door policy luncheon as part of his bipartisan outreach efforts to lawmakers in both House and Senate on the budget. Obama is pressing for a “grand bargain” that would attract more moderate elements from both parties – even as this week’s competing budget presentations are tailored to appeal strictly along party lines. Obama meets with House Republicans on today. At issue is the arcane and partisan congressional budget process, which involves a unique, non-binding measure called a budget resolution. When the process works as designed – which is rarely – budget resolutions have the potential to stake out parameters for follow-up legislation specifying spending and rewriting the complex U.S. tax code.

Not-guilty plea entered in Colo. shooting trial The ASSOCIATED PRESS CENTENNIAL, Colo. – The judge in the deadly Colorado movie theater shooting case entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of James Holmes on Tuesday after the former graduate student’s defense team said he James was not ready Holmes to enter one. If Holmes is convicted, he could be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison. Judge William Sylvester said Holmes, 25, can change his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity later, if he chooses. Such a change could be the only way Holmes could avoid

life in prison or execution. Prosecutors, for their part, have not said yet whether they will pursue the death penalty, announcing Tuesday that they will make their decision known on April 1. The judge set Aug. 5 for the start of the trial. Prosecutors and defense attorneys declined comment. As he has done in past hearings, Holmes sat silently through Tuesday’s proceedings. Holmes is charged with 166 counts, mostly murder and attempted murder, in the July 20 attack on moviegoers at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” in the Denver suburb of Aurora that injured 70 and killed 12 people, including Crystal Lake native John Larimer, 27, who died protecting his girlfriend.

8BRIEFS Reports: Iran plans to sue Hollywood over ‘Argo’ TEHRAN, Iran – Iran is planning to sue Hollywood over the Oscar-winning “Argo” because of the movie’s allegedly “unrealistic portrayal” of the country, Iranian media reported Tuesday. Several news outlets, including the pro-reform Shargh daily, said French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre is in Iran for talks with officials over how and where to file the lawsuit. She is also the lawyer for notorious Venezuelan-born terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, known as Carlos the Jackal. Following the 1979 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, but six embassy staffers were sheltered by the Canadian ambassador. Their escape, using a fake movie as a cover story, is recounted in “Argo.” The lawyer told the semi-official Mehr news agency that she will start a campaign to show that Argo is a lie, while pressing to stop distribution of the movie.

Colo. lawmakers OK civil unions for gay couples DENVER – Colorado lawmakers took a historic vote to approve civil unions for gay couples Tuesday, delivering on a campaign promise from Democrats who have capitalized on the changing political landscape of a state where voters banned sameGov. John Hickenlooper sex marriage not long ago. The bill on its way to the desk of Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to be signed into law within two weeks, capping a three-year fight over a proposal to grant gay couples rights similar to marriage. Once the measure is signed, Colorado will join eight states that have civil unions or similar laws. Nine states and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage.

Senate group says national ID too costly

Senate panel OKs gun background check bill

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

By ALAN FRAM

WASHINGTON – Senators working on a sweeping immigration bill will likely abandon the idea of a new high-tech ID card for workers because it’s too expensive, a key negotiator said. That means their emerging legislation, which they’ve promised will crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants, likely will seek to expand a little-used system criticized as error-prone and vulnerable to fraud that employers can use to check the legal status of workers, mainly using Social Security numbers. The system, called E-Verify, is now voluntary, and officials with labor and immigrants’ rights groups say it would have to be greatly improved before being required nationally. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., members of the bipartisan Senate immigration negotiating group, had championed creation of a biometric ID card instead that would use personal markers such as fin-

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Democrats gave a boost Tuesday to a pillar of President Barack Obama’s plans for reducing gun violence, pushing a bill requiring nearly universal federal background checks for firearms buyers through the Senate Judiciary Committee over solid Republican opposition. The proposal still faces a difficult path through Congress, where GOP lawmakers say it would have little impact on crime and warn that it is a precursor to a federal registry of gun owners. Such a listing is forbidden by federal law and is anathema to conservatives and the National Rifle Association. The committee approved the bill 10-8, supported by every Democrat and opposed by all Republicans. It would require background checks for transactions between private individuals – they are now mandatory only for

Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., acknowledging that it wouldn’t end gun violence. “But it will sure reduce crimes.” The panel also voted 14-4

for a measure providing an additional $40 million annually for school safety improvements like classroom locks and training for teachers. Four Republicans joined Democrats in backing that measure, which initially called for a higher figure that was reduced in bargaining between Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Susan Collins, R-Maine.

gerprints to make it easy for employers to check the status of prospective hires. But Graham said cost estimates came back higher than he expected. “That seems to have been cost-prohibitive, so we’re looking at other ways to achieve the same goal,” Graham told reporters this week at the Capitol. Graham said no final decision had been made on ditching the biometric ID card idea, which had also sparked civil liberties concerns, and he declined to say how much such a card would cost. A study by the University of California, Berkeley Law School’s Warren Institute last year estimated start-up costs to the government for such a program would top $22 billion. For Graham, Schumer and the other six senators trying to finalize an immigration bill by next month, a workable employer verification system is fundamental to legislation that also would secure the border, improve legal immigration and provide eventual citizenship to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already here.

Mars rover shows planet could have supported life LOS ANGELES – Drilling into a rock near its landing site, the Curiosity rover has answered a key question about Mars: The red planet long ago harbored some of the ingredients needed for primitive life to thrive. Topping the list is evidence of water and basic elements that teeny organisms could feed on, scientists said Tuesday. The discovery comes seven months after Curiosity touched down in an ancient crater. Last month, it flexed its robotic arm to drill into a fine-grained, veiny rock and then tested the powder in its onboard labs.

Syrian army eroded by defections, battle deaths BEIRUT – A top Syrian cleric’s appeal to young men to join the army raised the question of whether President Bashar Assad is running out of soldiers, prompting a pro-government newspaper to reassure readers Tuesday that the military can keep fighting insurgents for years to come. Syria’s civil war, with its largescale defections, thousands of soldiers killed and multiple fronts, has eroded one of the Arab world’s biggest armies, with pro-Assad militias increasingly filling in for troops. But while the rebels have scored military and diplomatic gains, the regime is far from its breaking point. Assad appears to have stopped trying to retake all of the rebel-held areas, lacking the manpower to do so. But his forces have pinned down opposition fighters with artillery and airstrikes, while repelling rebel assaults on the capital of Damascus and other regime strongholds.

Services adapt to changing demographics • DIVERSITY

Growing, aging, diversifying of McHenry Co.

Continued from page A1 In 2000, whites represented 89.6 of the population and declined to 83.7 percent in 2010. Latinos had the single largest increase of any race and ethnicity in the county during the past two censuses. The demographic now represents 11.4 percent of the population, up from 7.4 percent in 2000. Almost 4,000 people from Asian descent also have settled in the county during the past two censuses. The rise in Latinos and Asians already has forced economic changes, Poynter said. Poynter has found while meeting with various county employers and industries that the Asian demographic has motivated local job creators to add positions with a science technology and math background, while Latinos take more manufacturing jobs. The change in workforce demand challenges educational institutions, such as McHenry County College, to modify training programs, Poynter said. More of the county’s school districts also are incorporating dual language curricula that help non-English speakers and English-native students become bilingual, said Leslie Schermerhorn, McHenry County regional schools superintendent. Districts with large Latino populations, such as Harvard District 50 and Woodstock District 200, already have used dual language programs to equip students with language tools to compete in a economy that will only become more globally connected in the future, Schermerhorn said. The programs also exposes students to cultures other than their own, she said,

Source: U.S. Census 2000 and 2010 “It’s a positive for children; as they grow up, they need to realize we are all just people,” Schermerhorn said. “In the long run, it’s well worth it in order to have a humane society.” Employers also have been faced with devoting scarce resources to training younger workers as more Baby Boomers approach the retirement age of 65. The Baby Boomers represented a historic newborn baby boom that spanned a generation from 1946 to 1964. As they have aged, so has the county. Residents ages 65 and older represent 10 percent of the county’s population, totaling 31,320 people. At turn of the century, the census counted 20,913 residents older than 65. The county’s median age in that time increased from 34 to 38 years old. The graying of the county’s workforce has caused concern for area employers, who fear that production may lag with younger, less experienced workers, Poynter said. “When older workers leave the workforce, they are going to take the institutional knowledge with them,” Poynter said. Despite the challenges, certain areas already have seen

services adapt to the area’s changing demographics. In Crystal Lake, two senior service organizations have expanded their facilities as a response to the city’s aging population, which includes more than 4,000 people older than 65. Lutheran Social Services of Illinois’ decision to create a 100-unit apartment complex for retirement-age adults and Fair Oaks’ recent 50,000-square-foot expansion to its senior health care facility along Route 176 are signs that services are growing to meet demographic demands, said Michelle Rentzsch, Crystal Lake’s planning and economic director. “For Crystal Lake, an aging population is only a benefit because of the market response,” she said.

More changes to bill could be made • AMENDMENT Continued from page A1 which all these bond issuances first must pass. Some feared that would create a bottleneck in Springfield, so instead the bill requires an independent accountant, nationally recognized feasibility analyst or someone who is not otherwise involved in the project. McSweeney, a freshman Republican, has said he wrote the bill with McHenry County College in mind. The college has considered alternate revenue bonds as one way to pay for an expansion of its health and wellness programs. It also has considered debt certificates and public-private partnerships. Critics of MCC’s plan say the college’s feasibility study is flawed and presents

“My major two issues are I want to make it easier to do a referendum and avoid conlicts like that at McHenry County College.” State Rep. David McSweeney R-Barrington Hills a clear conflict of interest, despite the college’s claims otherwise. “My major two issues are I want to make it easier to do a referendum and avoid conflicts like that at McHenry County College,” McSweeney said. The number of signatures required to initiate a backdoor referendum also was changed after some resistance from larger municipalities. If approved, it would take 5,000 signatures to get an alternate revenue bond question on a ballot. In McHenry County, that number cur-

rently hovers somewhere around 15,000 signatures. The McSweeney-Franks bill initially called for 500 signatures. The amendment also would raise the number of days residents have to gather those signatures from 30 to 45 days. HB983 initially proposed 90 days. The bill also would no longer apply to municipalities with populations of 500,000 residents or more. There could be more changes to the bill as it moves its way through the House of Representatives.

Chicago’s Cardinal George takes conclave oath CHICAGO – Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George took his oath before the conclave to elect the next pope began. George stood in line with the other cardinals in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican on Tuesday. He placed his hand on the Gospel to “promise, pledge and swear” to keep the oath of secrecy. The conclave began about two weeks after former Pope Benedict XVI stepped down. The 75-year-old George is the leader of more than 2 million Roman Catholics in the Chicago area. His spokeswoman told The Associated Press that he suggested the conclave could be a long affair. George raised the possibility that the cardinals

break and spend time in prayer before resuming voting.

77 votes needed to be named pope • CARDINALS Continued from page A1 and the exposure of deep divisions among cardinals grappling with whether they need a manager to clean up the Vatican’s dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith and growing secularism. The cardinals locked themselves into the Sistine Chapel following a final appeal for unity by their dean and set about the business of electing the 266th pope. The 115 scarlet-robed prelates chanted the Litany of Saints, the sounds of the Gregorian chant echoing through the soaring hall as, walking two-by-two, they implored the saints to guide their voting. They then took an oath of secrecy, first collectively and then individually, as each placed his right hand on the gospel and intoned the words in Latin accented by their native languages – English, German, French, Italian, Arabic and so on. Then the master of liturgical ceremonies intoned the words “Extra omnes” – “everyone out” – and dozens of prelates and Vatican officials

departed as the chapel’s heavy, ornately carved wooden doors swung shut. The cardinals then proceeded with the carefully choreographed vote, each writing his choice on a piece of paper, then folding it and tipping it into an urn, to be counted by hand by three “scrutineers” who read out the results, one by one. With no cardinal winning the required 77 votes on the first ballot, the cardinals returned to the Vatican hotel for a simple dinner of pasta with tomato sauce, soup and vegetables before another day of voting today. Benedict’s surprise resignation has thrown the church into turmoil and exposed deep divisions between Vatican-based cardinals and those in the field who have complained about Rome’s inefficiencies and indifference to their needs. The leading contenders for pope have fallen into two camps, with Italian Cardinal Angelo Scola, the archbishop of Milan, seen as favored by those hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer favored by Vatican-based insiders who have defended the status quo.

Go bald for great cause If you wake up Friday or Saturday morning and find that your head is a lot colder than the day before, you’ll know you’ve done a good deed. That’s because chances are you are one of the hundreds of McHenry County residents who agreed to have all of your hair cut off in honor of St. Baldrick’s Day. The St. Baldrick’s FoundaFor the record tion is a national charity that Congratulations to the supports pediatric McHenry community and all cancer research. who are participating in St. Volunteers raise Baldrick’s Day events this year. money by shaving their heads completely bald for donations. In McHenry County, the event has been growing for years. Just take the city of McHenry, which deserves our congratulations. When its event concludes Thursday evening at McHenry West High School, it will have set the world record for the most number of people to have their head shaved at a single location. That’s right. The world record! Almost 700 residents had signed up as of Tuesday evening. Just as impressive is the amount of money being raised in McHenry, more than $118,000 so far. “I am so proud of [District] 156 for bringing this event to McHenry, and to [Districts] 15 and 36 for supporting it too,” McHenry Mayor Sue Low said in a message to the community. “I hope that every ‘baldie’ and everyone who supported them in any way share in the pride our community should feel about this accomplishment!” McHenry isn’t the only community to participate, of course. There also are head-shavings planned later this week in Crystal Lake, Woodstock Algonquin and other communities. There might be a lot fewer well-groomed heads of hair in McHenry County in a couple of days. But area residents should celebrate in their baldness. It’s all for a great cause.

Ugly budget picture thanks to pensions Gov. Pat Quinn’s fifth budget address was simple and consistent: Pension costs are rising, and there’s not enough money for everything else. It also was depressing because, even under the rosiest of scenarios, the state’s fiscal problems will take years to fix. The “most difficult budget” the governor has ever submitted outlined the harsh realities of the state’s finances. Education will take a hit – a hit the governor does not want – because that’s where the money is. Quinn’s speech was doused with some feelgood statistics: Illinois has added jobs, built and rebuilt roads, and ranks as the fifth-best location in the country for new and expanded corporate facilities, according to Site Selection magazine. But it all comes back to pension costs that limit the state’s ability to invest in itself or simply to pay the bills in a timely manner. Quinn talked about what kind of pension reform legislation he would sign. First and foremost is to guarantee that the state makes its pension payments. Increased employee contributions and limits to cost-of-living adjustments were mentioned as key parts of a comprehensive pension reform package. Lawmakers have not voted on such a package, however. “What are you waiting for?” Quinn asked them. The waiting has cost the state billions – billions that could have been put to good use. Perhaps the most distressing part of Quinn’s budget is the state’s inability to pay its bills. Under Quinn’s plan, he would chip away at the bill backlog by $2 billion by the end of fiscal 2014. That would leave the bill backlog at $6.8 billion, a huge number and no reason to celebrate. The backlog would shrink more quickly if Quinn is successful in closing tax loopholes on big corporations. Good luck with that. One man’s “loophole” is another man’s incentive. Curtailing pension costs would be a better bet. “Without pension reform, within two years, Illinois will be spending more on public pensions than on education,” the governor said. A scary thought – and even more reason to end the waiting and create a sustainable pension system. The (Freeport) Journal-Standard

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Great neighbors To the Editor: Being an amputee, I have been kind of laid up this winter, so without hesitation and a smile on their faces, both of my next-door neighbors, Charlie Fay and Jeff Reens, took it upon themselves to snow-blow my driveway during these past few snowy weeks. I just wanted to let them know how much I appreciate it, and that I’ve never had better neighbors than I do now. So if your looking for a quality neighborhood with quality people, then think about moving to the Sonatas of Woodstock.

ridiculous administration problem is happening in our country. Again, these illegal immigrants were released in our country, not deported. If our borders are so secure as President Barack Obama and Napolitano say they are, why weren’t these illegal immigrants deported? After all, they are here illegally, have been in prisons, and that is the law, deportation. A quote from a movie fits this administration. “What we have here is a failure to communicate ...” Huh? Or was it on purpose? I personally think the latter. James M. Korjenek Wonder Lake

Ken Bognar Woodstock

Poor public service To the Editor: The March 6 story on the cancellation of the “Trail of History” quotes McHenry County Conservation District spokeswoman Wendy Kummerer as stating that the popular event’s costs borne by MCCD was a “gift” to the public. Really? How about the $19,317,898.84 in real estate taxes collected from the public by MCCD in 2012? Who’s the cheapskate here? I hope I’m not in the minority in this county as seeing this approach to “public service” as wrong. James Young Woodstock

Too familiar To the Editor: This is getting to sound all too familiar. Before the sequester cuts started, news leaked that illegal immigrants were being released from prisons across the our county. Released, not deported. Now this is the “all-too-familiar” part. Washington officials were questioned about the release of illegal immigrants, and their response was, they knew nothing about this. Next, Janet Napolitano, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, also was questioned about the release of illegal immigrants. She said she had no knowledge about the release. She then said this decision must have been made in the field. My, what kind of organization does this administration have? Just like Benghazi, everyone denies accountability for this, yet this

Stop threatening To the Editor: Is there any defense against terror, or terrorism? A primary source of terror for many in this country is the three branches of government, both state and federal. Following years of business collapses, home foreclosures and high unemployment, we all looked for and needed a ray of sunshine, a glimmer of hope. Instead, we have been bombarded with the fiscal cliff, sequestration, pension impasse, gun control, etc... There was no fiscal cliff, as there is no economic calamity associated with the sequester. There are adjustable terms created during political games. Any business that chooses to remain in business, and is accountable to itself (the owner) or the stockholders, can adjust to a reduced budget of 2 ½ percent without drastic cuts. That is not drastic when evenly shared. Many now unemployed would have eagerly taken such a wage reduction to remain employed (except Hostess). In January, rather than act as our leader, the president threatened us with cuts to Social Security and Medicare if the fiscal cliff could not be averted. Rather than taking appropriate action and making a 2 ½ percent adjustment to the budget, he is now bullying the American public, threatening our safety, our security, and our use of public lands and facilities if we don’t cause our representatives to cooperate. If you must, threaten other politicians. Stop threatening and terrorizing American citizens. Ed Riess Cary

Welcome to recession To the Editor: Dear public employees, welcome to the recession. Experiencing drastic financial cuts myself, I am sympathetic to you and your family but must admit I’ve been a little resentful about your attitude the past five years. I have felt enslaved in that my quality of life could be sacrificed so yours would be secure. Every time I start to move forward, I get hit with a higher tax rate or new user fee. We all have received empty promises and feel cheated by the system. I started my business 26 years ago working hard to make it successful, and it was until the recession. In 2007, I made $75,000. In 2012, I made $15,500. At one time I had nine employees, but now it’s just me working 65 hours a week, sometimes just to pay overhead. Blue Cross told me that one is not a group and canceled my group health insurance. I have not had vacation in more than five years. My situation in not unique, nor is it the most dramatic. I know several in the private sector suffering extreme hardships. I also know those who did not make it, hardworking people with established businesses crushed by a system that failed them. Who will honor the promises made to them, that if you dedicate yourself, work hard and pay your taxes, you can provide a good living for your family?

Proven leadership To the Editor: I have known Bruce Kaplan for 33 years and consider him a friend. We were in the Jaycees together, where he chaired a number of projects that I worked on with him. He has proven leadership skills.

People naturally follow him because he is innovative, fair, honest, open, respectful and inclusive. I have prayed for Bruce’s family when they had some health issues with their son Jacob. I have observed him as an elected trustee and know he has the backs of the residents and businesses. He is not the politician “type” and is as humble now as when I met I first met him. Cary would be lucky to have Bruce take time from his successful real estate business and use his experience and skills to help our village for the next four years. Please vote April 9 for Kaplan for Cary village president. Frank Steckelberg Cary

Racial entitlement? To the Editor: The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is being challenged by Shelby County, Ala. The U.S. Supreme Court will hand down a decision on this challenge in June. During oral arguments, Justice Antonin Scalia expressed the opinion that the purpose of the law was to “perpetuate racial entitlement.” The remark reveals a disturbing level of bias by Justice Scalia. It was perpetuation of racial entitlement that made the law necessary. Poll taxes and various other impediments to voting kept access to the ballot box as an exclusive right of white voters. Our Constitution, as amended, guarantees every citizen the right to vote. It is the responsibility of Congress to enact legislation to protect that right. The executive branch uses the law to enforce any provision of the Constitution that some might attempt to ignore. When a law is challenged, the judicial branch then examines it to assure that it complies with our government document. Walter Enoch McHenry

STUDENT APPEARS ON VIDEO CHARGES WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake Central High School student accused of planting a small video camera in a boys locker room made his first regular court appearance Tuesday morning. Luke P. Gildea, 17, of Crystal Lake, was charged Thursday Luke P. Gildea with two counts of unauthorized video recording. He posted $1,500 bond and left the McHenry County Jail on Friday. A private attorney, Cynthia Lamb, filed an appearance and stepped up to the bench with Gildea. Another court date has been set for May 6. According to the criminal complaint, Gildea “videotaped subjects entering and exiting the shower” in the locker room. 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.

Officials air gravel pit worries Marengo’s expertise questioned in talks on Riley Township annexation deals By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Riley Township officials recently peppered Marengo officials with questions and concerns about the city’s inexperience with regulating the gravel pits along Route 23 that the city soon could control. The gravel pits are included in two of the three annexation deals that were formally presented to the public during a City Council meeting Monday. The deals are a part of a broader city effort to extend Marengo’s limits to Interstate 90 and through Riley Township in hopes of

“The gravel pits are going to be taken out of the county regulations and put into the city regulations, and I’m concerned the city isn’t prepared for that.” Karen Schnable, Riley Township supervisor securing a full tollway interchange that would spur development. Township officials such as Supervisor Karen Schnable and Trustee Cathy Johnson dominated the public hearing with questions about the city’s knowledge of the gravel pits, as well as concerns that zoning changes included in the annexation deals would give up the agricultural area to manufacturers.

“The gravel pits are going to be taken out of the county regulations and put into the city regulations, and I’m concerned the city isn’t prepared for that,” Schnable said. “They have never done this before.” More than 20 people attended the public hearings Monday on the three deals that would add about 1,340 acres into Marengo along Route 23.

The City Council will vote on the deals at a March 25 meeting, leaving 1,160 acres closer to I-90 for the city to negotiate and annex in the coming weeks. The gravel pits are within nearly 600 acres involving two annexation deals between the city and VCNA Prairie and A.R. Land Co. Facing city officials Monday, Schnable questioned safety provisions in both

agreements, fearing that city may not have the knowhow to regulate the mining areas and prevent contamination of nearby groundwater used by residents. Johnson echoed Schnable’s concerns, arguing that any industrial development in the area easily could cause contamination. She warned city officials that agricultural businesses in Illinois generally have the political firepower to resist stronger regulations and lobby for permanent zoning changes that allow for indefinite mining.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Tony Lamantia of Algonquin braves the snowy weather while fishing for walleye Tuesday near the Algonquin Dam. Today will be party to mostly sunny, with temperatures in the mid-30s.

WHERE’S ALL THAT WATER GOING? The land and vegetation naturally and efficiently manage the rain and melting snow. Imagine where all that water would go without the protection of floodplains, watersheds and winding streams that provide a route for the drainage of water. Also hard at work to maintain a natural drainage system are the wetlands and farmlands, which provide a place for the excess water to gather. Such natural, productive and beautiful elements allow water to be absorbed before it can accumulate. This natural flood control minimizes the need for additional expenditures of public funds, protects homes, buildings and investments, and helps to protect public health and safety.

say the coordinator would earn $60,000 to $69,000 a year. The Cary-based district would save at least $20,000 a year on technolo-

The person would provide support during the school day, show effective use of technology in the classroom, establish an environment that encourages creative and independent uses of technology to improve student learning, and ensure that technology is part of school improvement plans, among other things, said Valerie McCall,

CL South student’s death investigated D-155 spokesman says support services are offered to classmates By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Police are investigating the death of a teenager found in a Crystal Lake home Sunday morning, according to the Crystal Lake Police Department. Officers were called to a home in the 600 block of Grand Canyon Circle on Sunday morning for a report of a person dying in the home, Cmdr. Dan Dziewior said. The person did not live there. He refused to elaborate on the incident or the investigation. The victim has been identified as Stephanie R. Chiakas, 17, of Lake in the Hills. She was a junior at Crystal Lake South High School. Court records show that Chiakas had a pending drug case with a scheduled court appearance on Thursday. According to the criminal complaint in October, she had less than 15 grams of a substance containing heroin, as well as less than 2.5 grams of marijuana and a grinder. Support services were

being offered to students at Crystal Lake South this week, District 155 spokesman Jeff Puma said. A letter also was sent to parents Monday with a list of external agencies for grief counseling. “Stephanie, who was very mature and creative for her age, was known for her leadership and cooking skills, loving and responsible nature, and her love for animals and gardening,” her obituary reads. “She excelled in school and enjoyed hangin’ with the crew.” The McHenry County Coroner’s Office is responsible for determining the cause of death. No one from the coroner’s office was available for comment Tuesday. The visitation will be from 2 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Davenport Family Funeral Home, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake. Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday. The burial will follow at All Saints Catholic Cemetery and Mausoleum in Des Plaines. Chiakas is survived by her parents, Kenneth and Sheri, and her sister, Alicia.

College to defer tuition costs for veterans “This is an opportunity to show our military students how much we value their service to our country as we support the goal of higher education for all.”

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – In light of federal cuts to military tuition assistance for service members, Columbia College of Missouri will defer tuition charges for the term beginning March 25 while military students seek other funding. For those unable to secure other financial assistance, the college will offer a no-liability withdrawal policy or an extended six-month payment plan for those affected, according to a news release

from the college. “This is an opportunity to show our military students how much we value their service to our country as we support the goal of higher education for all,” Mike Leder-

le, assistant dean for military and federal programs, said in the release. Affected students must be eligible for military tuition assistance and have a current FAFSA (Free Applica-

tion for Federal Student Aid) on file. Columbia College of Missouri features four campuses in Illinois – Lake County (Gurnee), Crystal Lake, Elgin and Freeport – and offers a variety of in-seat and online degrees.

Attorney Joe Gitlin of Woodstock was listed as one of the nation’s top 43 divorce lawyers in the National Law Journal and is listed in The Best Lawyers in America. He is also ranked as an Illinois Leading Lawyer (member of Advisory Board) and Super Lawyer.

Q: Should I tell my lawyer everything (the whole truth)? A: Yes,absolutely. Your lawyer and the lawyer’s staff have a duty of confidentiality. They cannot reveal to anyone what you have told them in confidence. You do not want your lawyer to be ill prepared. A surprised lawyer is an ill prepared lawyer. Your lawyer should have no surprises about the facts. If there are bad facts,like a sexual involvement outside of the marriage,it is important to tell your lawyer. Have you noticed that when a major business (or for that matter the government) has bad news, and they know that sooner or later the truth will come out, they come out with the bad news first,but put their own spin on it. It is the same in divorce litigation. Your lawyer can put the best spin on negative evidence if your lawyer knows about it early on. Lying to your lawyer as to matters such as assets and income usually will back fire because the other side through discovery (investigation) will probably learn the true facts,but your initial lie will have a significant impact on your credibility.

Q: What is a good telephone protocol with my lawyer? A: 1) Most lawyers charge a minimum of .25 of an hour (some lawyers go below) for a telcon. First make sure that the telcon with the lawyer is necessary. Most questions

clients have can be answered by the lawyer’s secretary and for the telcon with the secretary there is usually no charge. 2) Don’t call your lawyer each time you have a question. When you have a question,or a thought,write it down and telephone your lawyer once a week. 3) Instead of telephoning your lawyer,write to the lawyer. Lawyers generally do not charge for reading letters. There will,of course,be a charge if the lawyer feels that your letter must be answered by the lawyer’s letter. Q: How important is the lawyer’s secretary to me? A: Very. If the secretary likes you,she will be your advocate with the lawyer so your case receives the attention it should. You should work at having a good relationship with your lawyer’s staff. Q: My lawyer does not return my telephone calls. What should I do? A: I am frequently called on to give a“second opinion”, which actually amounts to an evaluation of a lawyer’s work in the midst of a divorce. The most frequent complaint clients have about their divorce lawyers is the failure to return telephone calls. Part of the solution may be when you call the lawyer. Lawyers engaged in divorce law are in court most mornings. You should avoid calling the lawyer between 9 a.m.and 10:30 a.m. If your lawyer regularly does not return your telephone calls,I suggest you write the lawyer a letter,by certiﬁed or registered mail,return receipt requested,complaining about the returning of telephone calls. If this does not cure the problem,you probably have an overall problem of lack of communication with your lawyer and you should obtain another lawyer. Q: There are some things my spouse’s lawyer should know and my lawyer has not told my spouse’s lawyer. Is it OK if I telephone opposing counsel? A: No,absolutely not. If opposing counsel has any sense she will not speak to you. It will also undermine your case by calling opposing counsel because it will make opposing counsel believe that your lawyer is not in control of your part of the case. The same rule applies to

telephoning or writing judges,but in spades. Never call or write the judge. Q: Could it be that my lawyer is actually working for (sold out to) the other side? A: No,but this thought frequently pops up in divorce proceedings. You and your lawyer may frequently not be on the same page. A good lawyer does not simply do what the client wants. A good lawyer will advise you to do what is appropriate considering the law and considering the facts. This may make it seem that your lawyer is opposing you. Q: Can I ﬁre my lawyer? A: Absolutely. The law says that you have an absolute right to discharge your lawyer,but there are some considerations. 1)Your new lawyer can pick up where the old lawyer left off,however,the new lawyer must be brought up to speed,that is,he must review your ﬁle to learn where the case is,and thus there may be additional fees. 2)You should have the new lawyer lined up before you discharge the old lawyer so you do not miss a stroke. 3) My experience is that in cases involving highly emotional issues,such as child custody,and in cases involving a great deal of money,substantial assets and substantial incomes,each of the parties goes through more than one lawyer. If,however,you go through more than a couple lawyers,it may prejudice your case because the judge may assume the reason for the multiple lawyers is that you are taking unreasonable positions. Q: Can I question my lawyer’s fees? A: Yes. Most divorce lawyers bill their clients on a regular (usually monthly) basis. If your lawyer has not billed you for some time,you should ask to be billed so you do not receive a bill covering a long period of time and being for an amount you cannot afford to immediately pay. The billing should be itemized,that is,it should describe the service rendered and it should state the amount of time for which you are being billed. The lawyer should be willing to explain any billed items to you.

D-200 clears retirement plan contractor of liability

cords and failed to send funds employees were entitled to. In District 200, Gatekeeper sent all appropriate funds to service providers but in some cases made payments late, costing district employees small amounts of interest, the district said. “We found that all of them were sent but a few were held a few days longer than they should have been,” said Risa Hanson, District 200 chief financial officer.

The board voted Tuesday to clear Gatekeeper of liability for the errors. The 16 affected employees also will receive their long overdue interest, although none of those checks top $10. Hanson said the district having to address what had otherwise been a dead issue was a byproduct of the class-action suit. Since the district replaced Gatekeeper with CPI Qualified Plan Consultants Inc. in 2009, the 403(b) plan has been administered without issue. “Gatekeeper became overwhelmed with the volume of clients they had,” Hanson said. She said during the meeting that Gatekeeper sent letters to district employees who were owed money, leading to the district’s decision to sign a settlement agreement.

“We found that all of [the payments] were sent but a few were held a few days longer than they should have been.”

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – District 200 has cleared its former retirement account administrator of liability for small errors the firm made before being dropped by the district after less than a year of service. The district in December 2008 hired Gatekeeper Administration and Consulting LLC to ensure its 403(b) tax-deferred retirement savings accounts were in compliance with federal regulations. But Gatekeeper was unable to fulfill the terms of the contract, the district said, and was replaced in September 2009. Several other districts – excluding District 200 – have since filed a class-action lawsuit against Gatekeeper alleging that the firm kept poor re-

Pet waste that gets into the waterways can kill fish like us!

This isn’t a restroom, pal! My whole family lives in here!

Pet waste is not only a quick way to ruin your favorite pair of shoes, but can also cause big problems when it gets into our storm drains, creeks, and other waterways. Pet waste contains harmful bacteria that can make people and animals sick. When it decays, it uses up oxygen which kills aquatic animals. Standards Link: Environmental Science: Know how people affect the environment in negative and positive ways.

You make a good point, Fish. From now on, I’ll make sure my owner gets rid of my waste the right way. I’m taking my business elsewhere!

Always pick up your pet’s waste on walks, at the park, and at home.

Always bring pet waste bags with you on outings so you are not caught unprepared without a bag.

Throw pet waste in the trash. Do not put pet waste in the yard waste or recycling container.

Do not hose pet waste into the gutter. By doing your part to make sure you pick up after your pet, you are helping the community and the environment.

I Care! Students describe the ways they care for the planet. I can help the planet by not littering. I will find a trash can so no animals will eat the litter. Aaron, 1st grade I care about the planet because we need to have a clean atmosphere to live. I will help by recycling. I can make jam jars into storage jars by putting fresh picked rosemary from the garden into the jars.You can help by using fabric napkins instead of paper napkins. Also, you can recycle objects because, when you throw them in the trash, they get buried into the earth. Caring for the Earth helps plants, animals and us, too! Clara, 3rd grade

A way to help the planet is to start warning people of the effects of waste. When you waste something like food that’s been barely touched, you could have given it to someone who would like it. Also, when you throw away things, they could be recycled and reused, or used for art projects.To help the planet can seem hard, but it’s not, and all it needs is one person and it could start with you. Le’Tasha, 5th grade I will clean up trash. I will plant trees. I will make people stop smoking. I will ride a bike. I can care for the planet. J.T., 2nd grade The way I care for the planet is that I always pick up trash around my neighborhood. When I pick up trash, it’s usually on the lawns or on the streets. That’s how I help my planet. Jamie, 4th grade

There are many ways to care for our planet. They include not littering, recycling and volunteering. I always see litter when I am outside. It’s not cool or pretty. Just don’t litter. Another way is to recycle. For example, instead of throwing away water bottles in the trash, put them in a recycling bin. Recycling paper saves trees. My last suggestion for taking care of the earth is to volunteer. You could volunteer to pick up trash and recycle it in your neighborhood or school. There are lots of ways to help take care of our planet. Nathalya, 5th grade I have a way to care for the Earth while having fun. You can go outside and water plants, clean up after you’re done playing outside or recycle. Don’t forget to plant a few trees. You never know what might happen in the future.

How I keep the earth clean is simple. First, I save water by taking short showers, turning off the water when I brush my teeth, and not throwing away good, drinkable water. Next, I turn off lights when my family and I don’t need them. Also, I recycle things like newspapers, jars and boxes. Lastly, I reuse things like a shoe box. Wow, we can do a lot of things! Maria, 4th grade I always recycle my paper, glass and aluminum cans. I do not leave the water running when I brush my teeth. In addition, I take short showers and a short time when I wash my hands. I pick up garbage that other people have left lying around. What do you do? Luis 4th grade

Getting immediate in-house help influenced desire to add position • TECHNOLOGY Continued from page B1 director of curriculum and instruction. District 26 technology coordinator Andrew Fitzsimons, who mostly handles hardware issues, said there is a problem with getting help immediately, especially when this type of role is outsourced. “If there is a problem that is happening right now, unless you’re paying to have that person at your buildings every day ... you don’t have anybody who can drop what they’re doing and go. You would have to wait for a consultant to arrive. Depending how far that consultant is, it could be hours,” Fitzsimons said. “In-house, you have that person who can drop what they’re doing and help [teachers] with the process.” Fitzsimons said that if there are physical problems with equipment, the issue will go to the technology coordinator. If there’s a problem with the teacher effectively using the SMART board in instruction and integrating a SMART board, then it goes to the instructional technology coordinator. Superintendent Brian

trators believe sharing an instructional technology coordinator position with other districts is not feasible. “We feel this is a huge need,” Coleman said. The district has 31 SMART boards in use this school year, and teachers surveyed said the boards have worked well. As part of the technology plan, the district plans to spend $318,000 this year on equipment purchases. That includes replacing computer lab equipment at Briargate School and Cary Junior High, and buying SMART boards for Briargate, Deerpath and Cary Junior High, among other things. Three Oaks would get four new media carts, three new SMART bundles and new mobile computer labs, through Title I funding. “I think if we’re going to add more technology, this [instructional technology coordinator] position becomes even more critical,” board member Kevin Carrick said. “We had this discussion last year, and we didn’t see the need for it because we didn’t have some of this in place, and now we have some of it in place, we’re going to be adding more. Now there’s becoming a greater need.”

“We’ve worked out of this maintain-and-survive mode for the last 10 years. ... We’re at a point now, technology has become a big part of instruction ... that we had to look at vision. We’re moving from maintenance now to strategically using technology as a part of instruction.” Brian Coleman D-26 superintendent Coleman said the proposed employee would help create a technology vision for District 26. “We’ve worked out of this maintain-and-survive mode for the last 10 years. ...

“We want you to be in control, not them,” Johnson said. “It worries me because I’m not sure you are ready to take this on.” In defense, City Administrator Gary Boden said numerous communities in McHenry County, including Harvard, have been successfully regulating gravel pits. The potential annexation deals also require miners to get a special-use permit for the pits that are effective for 20 years at a time. The city plans to adopt the county’s environmental regulations that already have governed the pits for years, Boden said. Marengo still would have to train an employee or hire a contractor to enforce the regulations, but Boden said the city has the resources to do so. “This is not new news for us,” Boden said. “The environment is different with dealing with sand and gravel pits, but this is not a foreign subject to us.” The public presence did influence the council to delay a vote on the third, and largest, annexation deal that involves 750 acres north of Grange Road and east of Blissdale Road. The council could have approved the deal Monday, since it didn’t include zoning changes. But aldermen postponed the vote, 6-1, until March 25 to give them more time to review the three deals and weigh public input. The final vote on the city’s first three annexation deals now will come four days after the city’s zoning commission meets March 21 to endorse special-use permits from the gravel miners.

With the relatively same core from a successful previous season in which the Red Raiders placed second in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division – behind Cary-Grove, which went 6-0 in conference play – and won a regional championship, the outlook is bright.

“I’m really excited about what we’ve got and we figure to be really solid again,” Red Raiders coach Kris Grabner said. Among the core returnees, four of the Red Raiders, including Hoffman, have signed letters of intent. Delaney Loprieno, a junior forward, has committed to Northern Illinois and will be a force on the offensive end for the Red Raiders. Abigail Nordeen is a junior midfielder who has agreed to play at Upper Iowa University. Nordeen is versatile and brings a lot of stability to the team while Jessica Galason, a junior goalkeeper, will play at Illinois State. With college-level talent mixed with a few newcomers who Grabner figures will have an immediate impact, the Red Raiders look like the team to beat in the FVC Valley. “We’ve got a sophomore, Sam Bessey, who should be really good for us,” Grabner said. “We called her up for the playoffs last season and she played 30 minutes the first game and got more and more minutes as the playoffs continued. “She is really, really good.” Although the Red Raiders look primed for success, improving on last season’s accomplishment won’t be an easy task as Grabner expects that the Valley will have some talented teams again this season. “Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South, Prairie Ridge and Jacobs should all be strong teams this year,” Grabner said.

CHICAGO – Bears general manager Phil Emery must have watched the Super Bowl. That would seem kind of obvious, right? But, hey, it’s dangerous to make assumptions in this line of work. Although unlikely, it could have been plausible that Emery spent his Super Bowl evening watching “Property Brothers” or “Real Housewives of Atlanta” or some other cable TV filler. Now, I’m ready to announce with conviction: Emery watched the Super Bowl. How do I know this? Because Emery – and, by proxy, the Bears – Jermon signed a highly skilled Bushrod tight end Tuesday. A real, living, breathing, blocking, pass-catching, modern-day tight end. A few hours later, Emery went out and signed a Pro Bowl left tackle. Martellus Bennett and Jermon Bushrod, come on down. Wow. What a start. Of course, the Bears’ first season under coach Marc Trestman will be decided on Sundays in autumn, not weekdays in March. But Emery provided his new coach with major upgrades at two of his team’s weakest – and most important – positions. Let’s begin with Bennett. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound target caught 55 passes for 626 yards and five touchdowns last season with the New York Giants. That’s better production than five-year veteran Kellen Davis has had in his career (47 catches, 529 yards, 11 TDs).

The Bears on Tuesday signed tight end Martellus Bennett, who spent his first four seasons in Dallas before signing a one-year $2.5 million contract with the Giants last March. He had career highs with 55 receptions, 626 yards and five touchdowns.

BULLS

Rose can’t get over mental hurdle Still has no return date in mind The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Derrick Rose still is not sure he’ll play this season, saying that at this point the obstacles are more mental than physical as he tries to return from knee surgery. AP photo The Bulls’ star guard told Bulls point guard Derrick Rose works out before Friday night’s game reporters before practice against the Utah Jazz at the United Center. Rose spoke to the media Tuesday in Los Angeles that Tuesday exactly 10 months after he had surgery to repair a torn ACL he can “do everything.” “It’s just me having the in his left knee.

confidence to do it. I’m just trying to feel normal. When I’m out there and not thinking and just reacting, that’s when I know I’ll be ready.” He said he’ll return when he feels “normal” and added: “If that’s in a couple days, that’s great. If it’s not, I’m fine.” Rose also said there’s no cutoff date for him to return even though there are only 19 games remaining. The Bulls have gone 35-28

this season without the former MVP point guard. Their next game is tonight at Sacramento, but coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose will not return against the Kings. Rose spoke exactly 10 months after he had surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. His status has been a running soap opera, but he says he’s felt no pressure from the organization to return and downplayed the idea that any rift has developed. His brother and manager Reggie Rose ripped the Bulls

for standing pat at the trade deadline in an interview with ESPNChicago.com, saying it could be a “big factor” in whether Derrick plays this season. Then, the website reported last week that Derrick Rose had been medically cleared to play but told the team he won’t until he can dunk with confidence off his left foot. It all seemed to fuel the idea that the team and its star were not on the same page.

NFL FREE AGENCY

Ravens paying the price for winning Super Bowl By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens lost two key components of their defense, linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe, as free agency began Tuesday. On Monday, they traded star receiver Anquan Boldin, a key to their title run, to San Francisco – the team the Ravens beat, 34-31, to win the championship. Kruger went north to division rival Cleveland for a fiveyear, $40 million deal, while Ellerbe headed south to Miami for $35 million over five years. Steelers receiver Mike Wallace joined Ellerbe in choosing the Dolphins. The 49ers didn’t go untouched, either. After giving up a sixth-round draft pick for Boldin, they saw tight end Delanie Walker leave for Tennessee. San Francisco also confirmed the trade of backup

quarterback Alex Smith to Kansas City, a deal that was known for weeks. The 49ers will receive the Chiefs’ second-round pick, 34th overall, in this year’s draft and a conditional pick in next year’s draft. The 32-year-old Boldin expressed surprise that he was traded. “I thought this was the last stop of my career but regardless of the circumstances I came here to win a Championship ... and in February we came home Champions,” he said on Twitter. Kruger led the Ravens with nine sacks and added 2½ in the playoffs and 2 in the Super Bowl. But he was too expensive for Baltimore to keep. Wallace will give Miami the speedy receiver it has sought after getting just three touchdown catches from its wideouts last season. Denver ensured that Peyton Manning will be the Broncos’ quarterback through at

Rodman says he plans to vacation with Kim FARGO, N.D. – Former professional basketball star Dennis Rodman said he plans to return to North Korea to vacation with Kim Jong Un. Rodman met with the authoritarian leader in February during a visit that was not endorsed by the U.S. State Department. The visit came during a period of tension between the countries over North Korea’s nuclear weapons testing. Rodman traveled to Fargo, N.D., over the weekend for a promotional appearance at a local bar. The former Detroit Pistons and Bulls star told KVLY-KXJB that he doesn’t think Kim wants war and that he considers the leader a friend even though he doesn’t condone what he does. Rodman said he plans to return to North Korea in August to vacation with Kim, who is a diehard basketball fan.

Bus carrying lacrosse team crashes in N.Y. CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. – A bus carrying college lacrosse players from Vermont was hit Tuesday by a sports car that spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate New York, sending the bus toppling onto its side, police said. One person in the sports car died. The victim was a 64-year-old female passenger in the red Porsche that hit the bus, authorities said; the 65-year-old man who had been driving was in critical condition. Four players on the bus were treated for minor injuries at the scene. – From staff, wire reports

Buffalo has not made the playoffs since 1999, the longest active streak in the NFL. For now, the Bills’ No. 1 quarterback is Tarvaris Jackson. Bills general manager Buddy Nix said: “Difficult decisions often have to be made and so we are moving forward. Our focus remains on adding another quarterback to our roster and we will continue to explore every option available to us.” Earlier, Tony Gonzalez changed his mind and decided to return to the Falcons. The NFL’s career leader among tight ends with 1,242 receptions and 103 touchdowns said he was 95 percent certain he would retire after 2012, but the other 5 percent won out. Hours before free agency began Tuesday, Gonzalez tweeted: “The lure of being on such a great team and organization, along with unbelievable fan support was too good to pass up.”

It was only one day, but it was a good one for Emery

Upper Fox Valley girls hockey team wins title The Upper Fox Valley girls hockey team defeated New Trier, 6-5, in overtime to win the Metro Girls High School Scholastic Cup Division championship Monday at Centennial Ice Rink in Wilmette. Courtney Baugher scored off an assist from Natalie Ryan with 24 seconds remaining in overtime for the victory. The Upper Fox Valley team is comprised of players from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Dundee-Crown, Hampshire, Huntley, Jacobs, McHenry, Prairie Ridge and Woodstock North. Baugher scored Upper Fox Valley’s first goal of the game, in the first period. UFV added goals from Katelyn Russ, Jamie Rosato and Ryan for a 4-3 lead after the first period. Ryan scored again in the second, but New Trier scored the lone third-period goal to tie the score. Upper Fox Valley goalies Amelia Murray (15) and Nicki Mueller (nine) split time in net.

two years of his contract are worth $19 million each, but are not guaranteed. Coming off multiple neck operations, Manning threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns last season and was the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He turns 37 on March 24. Kansas City was busy finding support for Smith on both sides of the ball. The Chiefs agreed to a four-year, $16 million deal with tight end Anthony Fasano, a three-year, $12.6 million contract with defensive tackle Mike DeVito, and a threeyear deal with Saints backup quarterback Chase Daniel. Teams also made cuts Tuesday. The biggest were Ryan Fitzpatrick in Buffalo and Nnamdi Asomugha in Philadelphia. The Bills’ starting quarterback was released 1½ years after getting a six-year, $59 million contract extension. Fitzpatrick struggled after signing the new deal, and the Bills went 6-10 in 2011 and in 2012.

In this cell phone image taken Friday and provided by golfmanna.com, Hank Martinez (top) Ed Magaletta (right) and Russ Nobbe, look into an 18-foot-deep and 10-foot-wide sinkhole that golfer Mark Minhal fell into while playing golf at the Annbriar Golf Club in Waterloo. Mihal, 43, a mortgage broker from Creve Coeur, Mo., was hoisted to safety with a rope and suffered a dislocated shoulder.

Golfer survives fall into course sinkhole By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Mark Mihal was having a good opening day on the links when he noticed an unusual depression on the fairway of the 14th hole at Annbriar Golf Club in southern Illinois. Remarking to his friends how awkward it would be to have to hit out of it, he went over for a closer look. One step onto the pocked section and the 43-year-old mortgage broker was plunging into a sinkhole. He landed 18 feet down with a painful thud, and his friends managed to hoist him to safety with a rope after about 20 minutes. But Friday’s experience gave Mihal quite a fright, particularly after the much-publicized recent death of a man in Florida whose body hasn’t been found since a sinkhole swallowed him and his bedroom. “I feel lucky just to come out of it with a shoulder injury, falling that far and not knowing what I was going to hit,” Mihal, from the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur, Mo., told The Associated Press before heading off to learn whether he’ll need surgery. “It was absolutely crazy.” Annbriar general manager Russ Nobbe said the course is “sorry this happened here.” “It is an extremely unfortunate event, an event we feel is an act of nature,” Nobbe told a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “We don’t feel there is any way we could have foreseen this happening.” Mihal said it was a real downer on what had been a fine outing. With winter finally nearing an end, “it was the first day to get to play in a long time,” he

said. “So I wasn’t expecting too much.” Golfing with buddies, Mihal was waiting to hit his third shot, some 100 yards from the pin on the par 5, when he noticed a bathtub-looking indentation about knee deep just behind him on the fairway. At just 1 over par for the round, the golfer with a 6 handicap was on a roll. Mihal said he was completely surprised when the ground gave way beneath him. Mark Mihal “It didn’t look unstable,” he said. “And then I was gone. I was just freefalling. It felt like forever, but it was just a second or two, and I didn’t know what I was going to hit. And all I saw was darkness.” His golfing buddies didn’t see him vanish into the earth but noticed he wasn’t visible, figuring he had tripped and fallen out of sight down a hill. But one of them heard Mihal’s moans and went to investigate. “He just thought it was some crazy magic trick or something,” Mihal said. Hardly. Getting panicky and knowing his shoulder “was busted,” Mihal assessed his dilemma in pitch darkness as he rested on a mound of mud, wondering if the ground would give way more and send him deeper into the pit that was 10-feet wide at the opening, then broadened out into the shape of a bell below the surface. “I was looking around, clinging to the mud pile, trying to see if there was a way out,” he said. “At that point, I started yelling, “I need a lad-

der and a rope, and you guys need to get me out of here.’ “ A ladder that was hustled to the scene was too short, and Mihal’s damaged shoulder crimped his ability to climb. “At some point, I said, ‘I need to get out of here. Now,’ ” Mihal recalled. One of his golf partners, a real-estate agent, made his way into the hole, converted his sweater into a splint for Mihal and tied a rope around his friend, who was pulled to safety. “I felt fortunate I didn’t break both legs, or worse,” Mihal said. While disturbing, such sink-holes aren’t uncommon in southwestern Illinois, where old underground mines frequently cause the earth to settle. In Mihal’s case, the sinkhole’s culprit was subsurface limestone that dissolves from acidic rainwater, snowmelt and carbon dioxide, eventually causing the ground to collapse, said Sam Panno, a senior geochemist with the Illinois State Geological Survey. That region “is riddled with sinkholes,” with as many as 15,000 recorded, Panno said. The one Mihal survived has him debating whether returning to Annbriar is a long shot. “It’s a great course. I love the course,” Mihal said, having played Annbriar a couple dozen times during the past decade. “But I would have a tough time probably walking down that hole again.” The 20-year-old course proclaims on its website that “each year new golfers are tested by our challenging 18 holes of golf.” There’s no mention of its newest – and most challenging – hole.

Now, instead of watching Davis miss blocks and drop passes and fall down, Trestman will be able to design plays for one of the NFL’s up-and-coming tight ends. Bennett, 26, will join Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery and Earl Bennett to present all sorts of matchup headaches for opposing defenses. It’s no secret that dynamic tight ends have become an important ingredient for top offenses. Remember last month’s Super Bowl – the one I’m now certain that Emery watched? In that game, the Baltimore Ravens’ and San Francisco 49ers’ tight ends combined for 15 catches for 215 yards and a touchdown. That is not a typo. Look no further than the Bears’ rivals in the NFC North to gauge the value of today’s tight ends. The Green Bay Packers have Jermichael Finley, the Detroit Lions have Brandon Pettigrew and the Minnesota Vikings have Kyle Rudolph. Then again, what good are multidimensional receiving targets if Cutler can’t take as much as a three-step drop without being planted in the Soldier Field turf? That’s where Bushrod enters the equation. For the past six seasons, Bushrod has helped to protect star quarterback Drew Brees with the New Orleans Saints. Bushrod has impressive size (6-5, 315 pounds), two Pro Bowl nods at left tackle and a Super Bowl ring from the 2009 season. In New Orleans, Bushrod’s position coach was Aaron Kromer, the Bears’ new offensive coordinator

and offensive line coach. He should have a great grasp of Kromer’s blocking schemes, and he can pitch in to help teach his new teammates. It’s easy to pick on J’Marcus Webb because he is a gigantic goofball, but the truth is that he has developed into a capable starter during the past couple of seasons. By adding Bushrod to the mix, the Bears could slide Webb to right tackle, while former first-round pick Gabe Carimi could compete for a starting spot at guard. Is the offensive line perfect? Of course not. Is it better? Absolutely. Emery’s work is far from finished. He must figure out a way to add depth despite a budget that was constrained by Henry Melton’s $8.45 million franchise-tag price. For starters, the Bears need a reliable middle linebacker. Maybe that player will be Brian Urlacher, whose first day as an unrestricted free agent passed quietly, or maybe it will be a younger player from outside of the organization. The Bears also could use a few more “big uglies” on the offensive and defensive lines, not to mention a nickelback, a deep-threat receiver and plenty else. Some of those voids will be filled via next month’s draft, while others will be filled sooner. Based on Tuesday’s results, Trestman will have plenty to work with this season thanks to his aggressive general manager. Yes, it was only one day for Emery and the Bears. But it was a good day.

NOTRE DAME

Irish to join ACC next season By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Goodbye Madison Square Garden, Georgetown and Villanova. Hello Greensboro Coliseum, North Carolina and Duke. A year from now, the Notre Dame men’s basketball team will be preparing for the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament instead of its annual trip to New York, where the Irish are a frustrating 9-17 all-time in the Big East tournament and never have made it to the league title game. The school announced Tuesday it is leaving the fractured Big East a year sooner than originally anticipated for the ACC in all sports except football and hockey. The switch was approved in a vote by Big East university presidents in the wake of a split announced last week of the league’s football schools and seven other Catholic schools that next season are forming their own basketball-focused conference with the Big East name. The vote means Notre Dame coaches can move forward with scheduling for the 2013-14 school year.

“It removes the uncertainty that made it hard for our coaches and athletes, so we’re very happy to resolve that for them,” athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a telephone interview. The move means stability for all Notre Dame sports and has some familiarity to Irish fans, with Syracuse and Pittsburgh joining the Irish in moving to the ACC next season and former Jack Big East teams Swarbrick Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech already part of the ACC. If the Irish had opted to stay in the football-centric league, they would have faced some not-so-familiar opponents in Memphis, Central Florida, Houston, Tulane and SMU, along with returning members Cincinnati, Connecticut, South Florida, Louisville and Rutgers. Louisville joins the ACC after next season, while Rutgers joins the Big Ten. If the Irish had chosen to align with the Catholic schools, they would have faced

Woodstock

Coach: Patrick O’Brien (10th season) Last year’s record: 10-9-4 overall; 3-3 Fox (third) Top returning players: Lizzy Panzica, SW, sr.; Alex Zeller, F, jr.; Lexi Maze, MF, jr.; Paige Palubicki, F, sr.; Emily Zeller, MF, sr.; Jessica Boutin, D, sr. Top new player: Claudia Lazar, MF, so. Worth noting: “This year’s team will be a nice blend of experience and youth,” O’Brien said.

DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Providence and Villanova. Butler, Xavier and Creighton have been mentioned as potential members. The ACC will provide some of Notre Dame’s nonrevenue sports with more challenging opponents. North Carolina’s women’s soccer team has won 21 national championships; four different men’s soccer teams from the conference have won national championships in the past six years; Virginia and Maryland played for the national title in men’s lacrosse in 2011; and Duke has won four national championships in golf in the past 11 years. “It’s a better situation than the consequence of having the Catholic 7 and the Big East split,” Swarbrick said. The move comes six months after Notre Dame announced it was opting to join the ACC in all sports except football and hockey. Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said the move made sense for the league. “The Big East can now focus fully on its future alignment and rebranding efforts,” he said.

As with Huntley, PR will be returning numerous impact players and Brown said some of the team’s goals are to win the conference and “get further than our sectional final appearance last year.” Jacobs, which graduat-

ed 13 seniors, also looks to make an impact and should threaten Huntley with a slew of new players who coach Anthony Cappello said “are very capable, but it is just going to take some experience.” The Golden Eagles will be without senior midfielder Catie Sherman, an Oral Roberts signee, our for the season because of a torn ACL.

Groce hopes for hot postseason hand at Illinois Big Ten tournament At The United Center First Round Thursday Illinois vs. Minnesota, 11 a.m. Michigan vs. Penn State, 1:30 p.m. Purdue vs. Nebraska, 5:30 p.m. Iowa vs. Northwestern, 8 p.m. Quarterfinals Friday Indiana vs. Illinois-Minnesota winner, 11 a.m. Wisconsin vs. Michigan-Penn State winner, 1:30 p.m. Ohio State vs. Purdue-Nebraska winner, 5:30 p.m. Michigan State vs. Iowa-Northwestern winner, 8 p.m. Semifinals Saturday First semifinal, 12:40 p.m. Second semfinal, 3 p.m. Championship Sunday Semifinal winners, 2:30 p.m.

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – First-year Illinois coach John Groce’s teams have a way of turning it on for the postseason. In Groce’s four seasons at Ohio, the Bobcats went to the NCAA tournament twice, racking up wins over Georgetown in 2010 and Michigan in 2012 before losing a close one to North Carolina in the Sweet 16. He’s about to find out if his Illini have that kind of postseason fire in them. Illinois (21-11, 8-10 Big Ten) opens the Big Ten tournament Thursday as the No. 8 seed against No. 9 Minnesota. With wins over Indiana, Gonzaga and Ohio State among its 21 victories, Illinois is a good bet to get to the NCAA tournament, but a win or two in Chicago couldn’t hurt and might

help build momentum for a team that lost three of its last four regular-season games. Those Ohio teams that made noise in March started by winning the Mid-American Conference tournament in both 2010 and 2012. Groce didn’t have a clear answer for questions about what kind of mindset it took for those Bobcat teams to peak at the right time to make nice postseason runs. “Physically loose and mentally tight, or focused,” is how he tried to explain it Tuesday. But he downplayed the possibility that a great run of momentum was even necessary for a team to make that kind of run. “If they think a win a month ago or a loss four or five days ago is going to have anything to do with Thursday’s game at 11 a.m., then we’re not

very mentally tough,” Groce said. “If you lack toughness in March, then that’s a problem.” Groce has emphasized the need to be mentally tough since he arrived in Champaign a year ago, and his Illinois team’s toughness has been a source of concern since long before he arrived. John Groce The ups and downs the team went through before he arrived – particularly players such as Brandon Paul, D.J. Richardson and Tyler Griffey, seniors this year – have been well chronicled. Illinois has been to one NCAA tournament in the past three seasons, and one National Invitational Tournament. The Illini also have endured the collapse last season that sent Bruce We-

ber packing for Kansas State and brought Groce to town. Just this season, they’ve rattled off upsets over some of the country’s best teams and won the early season EA Sports Maui Invitational, and lost at home to Northwestern while barely surviving Nebraska. The most immediate problem for Illinois, the one that was most obvious in losses to Iowa and Ohio State in the final two regular-season games, was shooting. The Illini weren’t very good at it – hitting only 31.6 percent of the shots. “Part of it is we got some good shots we didn’t make,” Groce said. “Part of it is Ohio State is top 10 in the country defensively. ... And then Iowa has kind of made their calling with their defense.” While Illinois can be a challenge to figure out, Minnesota is downright confusing.

The Gophers (20-11, 8-10) beat illinois by 17 in Champaign in early January, when they were No. 8 in The Associated Press Top 25. Since then, they’ve fallen well out of the Top 25, and now they’ve lost six of their past nine, including back-to-back games against Nebraska and Purdue to finish the regular season. Groce said Tuesday that there’s at least a chance that Joseph Bertrand will be back for Illinois by Thursday. The redshirt junior guard missed Sunday’s loss at Ohio State with a shoulder injury. If he can’t go against the Gophers, Groce said, Bertrand should return Friday if the Illini advance to play Indiana. Bertrand usually is Illinois’ best bet to ignite the team off the bench. He averages 7.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in 23 minutes a game.

The Miami Heat’s LeBron James forces the Atlanta Hawks’ Dahntay Jones away from the ball during the first half Tuesday in Miami.

HEAT 98, HAWKS 81

Heat win streak now at 19 By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI – Standing at his locker after yet another victory, LeBron James finally acknowledged the obvious. This winning streak is something for the Miami Heat to savor. Dwyane Wade scored 23 points and on a night where the stat sheet would suggest a struggle, the Heat rolled once again, extending their winning streak to 19 games and leading wire-to-wire in beating the Atlanta Hawks, 98-81 on Tuesday. “Let’s be honest, guys,” James said. “We’re not sitting here and saying this is not something special. This is an unbelievable streak that we’re on. We’re playing great

basketball. We’re winning in different phases of the game, we’re playing different styles, we’ve won every game, on the road, at home, double-overtime games, end-of-regulation games, whatever the case may be.” James scored 15 points and Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers added 14 apiece for the Heat, who matched the fifth-longest streak in NBA history. They will try for their 20th straight win today at Philadelphia, the start of a five-game trip. Only three teams have won at least 20 consecutive games in the same season: the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33), the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) and the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (20). The Washington Capitols also won 20 straight,

spanning the end of the 194748 season and the start of the 1948-49 campaign. “Ten is enough for me,” Bosh said. “Twenty’s cool. I’d take it.” Josh Smith scored 15 for the Hawks, who got 12 apiece from Al Horford and Jeff Teague. “Miami is playing very well right now. You have to give credit where credit is due,” Hawks coach Larry Drew said. “Coach [Erik] Spoelstra and his staff over there are doing a great job. Their team is really moving the basketball, they are playing together, they are playing at a very, very high level right now, and they’re really good right now. We just got beat by a really good basketball team.”

That is, by a really good basketball team that had something really far removed from a really good offensive night. The Heat shot only 43 percent and James was just 3 for 11 from the field, with the field-goal total matching his lowest from any regular-season game in more than three years. And they won by 17. “We read the game, we find ways to win, we find ways within the game that we can make adjustments,” Wade said. “So yeah, it is kind of slowing down a little bit.” Ray Allen scored 12 and Udonis Haslem grabbed 11 rebounds for the Heat. The crowd was 20,350, a record at AmericanAirlines Arena.

NBA ROUNDUP

Howard drops 39 points as Lakers beat Magic The ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. – Dwight Howard scored a season-high 39 points, had 16 rebounds and was sent to the free throw line 39 times by his former team as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Orlando Magic, 106-97, on Tuesday night. The victory came in Howard’s first return to Orlando since his drama-filled offseason trade to the Lakers. He endured a chorus of boos throughout, and tied his own NBA record for free-throw attempts. The majority of them came as the Magic tried to employ an intentional foul strategy. It backfired, though, as the AllStar center hit on 16-of-20 attempts in the second half. The victory was the Lakers’

fourth straight. Jameer Nelson led Orlando with 21 points.

Eric Gordon led New Orleans with 24 points.

Mavericks 115, Bucks 108:

At Minneapolis, Ricky Rubio had his first career triple-double with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, leading Minnesota over San Antonio. Rubio made 9 of 17 shots and grabbed his 10th board with 9:14 to play in the game, giving his home fans something to cheer about in a long, frustrating season. Stephen Jackson had 14 points and Danny Green 10 for the Spurs. Bobcats 100, Celtics 74: At Charlotte, N.C., Gerald Henderson had a career-high 35 points, and Charlotte snapped a 10-game losing streak by beating Boston. Henderson was 11 of 19 from the field and knocked down all

At Milwaukee, Vince Carter hit three key 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and scored 23 points off the bench as Dallas won its fourth straight. Dirk Nowitzki added 19 points while O.J. Mayo had 14. Mavericks rookie and former Marquette star Jae Crowder, last year’s Big East player of the year, was one off his career high with 14 points. Monta Ellis scored 32 points for the Bucks. Nets 108, Hornets 98: At New York, Brook Lopez scored 26 points and had a big dunk over twin brother Robin, Deron Williams added 21 points and 13 assists, and Brooklyn beat New Orleans.

Timberwolves 107, Spurs 83:

12 of his foul shots. Ben Gordon scored 17 points for Charlotte. The Bobcats doubled last season’s win total and posted their largest margin of victory this season. Jeff Green and Jordan Crawford each had 14 points for Boston.

Cavaliers 95, Wizards 90: At Cleveland, Dion Waiters scored 20 points, Alonzo Gee added 17 and Cleveland held off a late run to beat Washington. Cleveland led 90-78 with 4:29 remaining, but the Wizards cut the margin to 91-88 with 45 seconds remaining. Waiters, who scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, hit four free throws in the final 13.1 seconds to secure the win. John Wall led Washington with a season-high 27 points.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Jordan Morgan watched his last-second putback roll off the rim, and for a little while, everything was a blur. He and his Michigan teammates left the court, a point short of a Big Ten championship – and the 6-foot-8 Morgan tried to forget that frantic finish as quickly as possible. “I went home and watched ‘Space Jam,’ ” Morgan said. “Laughter is the best healer.” Still smarting from their 7271 loss to Indiana on Sunday, the sixth-ranked Wolverines now need to regroup. A win would have given Michigan a share of the conference title. Instead, the Wolverines won’t even have a first-round bye in the Big Ten tournament. They’ll start Thursday against Penn State. The Nittany Lions upset Michigan a couple weeks ago. In fact, to reach the Big Ten title game, the Wolverines might need to beat Penn State, Wisconsin and Indiana, teams that have handed Michigan four of its six defeats this season. “Wherever we go in this tournament, we’re just going

to make the best of it,” coach John Beilein said. “We’ve got a lot of things still to address. We’re addressing them and doing them as fast as we can.” Michigan led Indiana by five before a few missed free throws allowed the Hoosiers to rally. Trey Burke, the conference player of the year, had a chance to win it for the Wolverines, but his driving attempt missed and Morgan’s follow-up did, too. “I’m standing up under the basket looking at Jordan as he tips it,” freshman Glenn Robinson III said. “We do this drill almost every day, and it’s called ‘three taps and in’ – you tap it three times off the glass and you’ve got to make a basket. Sometimes all the players are just like, ‘Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this drill?’ I don’t think anybody ever knew that that was going to come down to that type of shot. “It kind of rolled off the rim. I thought it was good the whole way. It just kind of took the wrong spin.” It was an agonizing way to lose, but the Wolverines didn’t help themselves by letting Indiana come up with 24 offensive rebounds.

BIG EAST TOURNAMENT

DePaul’s season comes to end at tournament The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Wally Judge hit all nine of his shots and scored a season-high 20 points to go with 10 rebounds, leading Rutgers to a 76-57 victory over DePaul on Tuesday night in the first round of the Big East tournament. Myles Mack added 19 points to help the No. 11-seeded Scarlet Knights (15-15) advance to the second round of the nation’s showcase college basketball tournament for only the

sixth time in 14 trips to Madison Square Garden. Rutgers will face sixth-seeded and No. 24 Notre Dame (238) in the late game Wednesday night. The Irish beat the Scarlet Knights, 69-66, in South Bend, Ind., in a game that came down to the final possession. Cleveland Melvin had 25 points for DePaul (11-21), which ended the season with only one win in its last 17 games – and it came against Rutgers.

Rose defends his brother’s right to speak his mind • BULLS Continued from page C1 “Crazy, making up stuff,” Rose said. “Everybody assumes everything. I’m the last person that someone would have a confrontation with. I’m not trying to argue with anyone. Everything’s been great. It’s crazy all the stories that are going on that I know aren’t true.” He also defended Reggie Rose’s right to speak his mind, whether he agrees or not. “My brother is my brother, where I’m going to have his back, no matter what, so the

comments, he just felt he had to say something,” Derrick Rose said. “That’s his opinion. I just felt the organization has been doing a great job of getting people around me, but he just had to get it off his chest.” Rose said the mental hurdles didn’t catch him off guard. He said agent B.J. Armstrong prepared him for it and told him not to rush back. “If I would rush back and something was to happen, everybody would say, ‘Why did you rush back?’ So I’m just taking my time and being prepared and knowing when I come back I want to be 100 percent,” Rose said.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC: UNITED STATES 7, PUERTO RICO 1

PENN ST.

Gonzalez leads U.S. in rout

Scandal costs for PSU top $41M

By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press MIAMI – Gio Gonzalez gave Team USA its best start yet, and David Wright provided a big finish. Gonzalez pitched five scoreless innings and the Americans beat Puerto Rico, 7-1, in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday night. Wright drove in five runs, the last three with a bases-loaded double in the eighth. That prompted chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” from the crowd of 32,872. The United States fell behind in all three games in the opening round, but led from the first inning against Puerto Rico. The Americans will play Thursday night against the Dominican Republic, which remained unbeaten in the WBC by rallying past Italy, 5-4, on Tuesday. Puerto Rico plays Italy in an elimination game today. Gonzalez (1-0), who grew up in nearby Hialeah, struck out five for the hometown team and departed with a 3-0 lead. Manager Joe Torre then went to his bullpen, and five relievers combined to allow one run over the final four innings. Gonzalez lowered the ERA of the U.S. rotation to 4.00. Wright had an RBI groundout in the third and a run-scoring single in the fifth. He’s 7 for 16 (.438) with 10 RBIs in four games. Joe Mauer’s two-out RBI double scored Ryan Braun

cluding the Freeh report. The update also counted the first of five annual $12 million installments – paid in December – that ultimately would cover the $60 million fine from the NCAA as part of landmark sanctions for the scandal. Some vocal alumni had called on university leadership to release itemized costs, in part to promote transparency. Those critics also had asked the university to release the letter of agreement, or “engagement letter” with Freeh, that outlined the scope and responsibilities of the former FBI director in leading the internal investigation into the scandal.

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Penn State has released a document sought by some of its critics detailing the agreement with former FBI director Louis Freeh to investigate the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, a review that cost the school about $8.1 million. Including the bill to pay Freeh, Penn State’s total costs associated with the scandal topped $41 million as of the end of December, the university disclosed Monday on a website. The monthly financial update provided more itemization for certain costs, in-

The Americans added a run in the third on singles by Brandon Phillips and Braun and Wright’s RBI groundout. Adam Jones had a two-run RBI single in the seventh.

Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton earned a big cheer from the Miami crowd when he made a running catch at the warning track to rob Martin Maldonado of a twoout, two-RBI hit in the fourth inning. Stanton also singled

twice and walked. Braun and Mauer each reached base four times. Puerto Rico starter Mario Santiago (0-1) allowed three runs in 4⅓ innings. Angel Pagan’s drove in Puerto Rico’s run in the eighth.

Luck’s got nothing to do with it

Irish dishes get rich, velvety flavor from Guinness for St. Patrick’s Day Guinness-battered oysters that spare the deep-fryer

Top chefs draw inspiration from Irish brew

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton

By MICHELE KAYAL The Associated Press

n a normal day, thirsty revelers easily drain two kegs of Guinness at Boston’s Black Rose tavern. Come St. Patrick’s Day – an official holiday in Bean Town – and they’ll plow thorough 55 kegs. “It’s pretty crazy over there,” said Keenan Langlois, corporate chef for The Black Rose and the seven other restaurants in Boston’s Glynn Hospitality Group. “People start early and spend all day there.” And these days, not all of that Guinness is going down parched gullets. With what he says is the largest Guinness account in the state of Massachusetts, Langlois figured it was time to use it as an ingredient in food, too. His Black Rose burger stacks prime beef with Irish bacon, shredded cabbage and Guinness-spiked ketchup. And he’s not alone. Chefs long have known the hearty Irish stout, brewed in Dublin since 1759, could add complexity to stews, soups, dips and even desserts. They use its bitterness and toasty malt flavor to offset rich, fatty meats, and echo its notes of chocolate and coffee in cakes and ice cream. Its creaminess offers a great platform for cheese, they say, especially Irish blues. “It has a rich spectrum of uses,” said Paul Hartley, author of “Guinness: An Official Celebration of 250 Remarkable Years” (Hamlyn, 2009). “It’s this rounded velvety feel, and it fuses with all the right things. Like oysters and blue cheese and chocolate. From time to time, I marinate chicken in Guinness and lime and grill it. It brings all that to life.” Hartley’s idea of the perfect St. Patrick’s Day starts with Guinness-marinated Irish bacon, moves onto crepes with Guinnesspoached mushrooms for lunch, and ends with a dinner of Irish “beef cobbler,” that is, Guinness-braised beef served with scones. Pastry chef Alice Medrich would add dessert. Medrich has laced Guinness through chocolate cupcakes, reduced it to a syrupy essence, concocted creamy, egg-yolkbased ice cream from it and made Guinness granita to scrape over vanilla ice cream. She sometimes uses it for the contrast of bitter and sweet, but also exploits its notes of coffee and chocolate to layer flavors. Exhibit No. 1? Her stout float with chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup and Kahlua. “It’s building the flavors,” said Medrich, author most recently of “Sinfully

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I have packed four Irish ingredients into one tasty little appetizer – oysters, cabbage, Guinness stout and Colman’s Mustard. What’s that? The skeptics among you are claiming that fully half of those ingredients – the oysters and Colman’s – are ringers? Not so. And here’s why. In search of inspiration for this recipe, I dove into a shelf’s worth of Irish cookbooks. Much to my surprise, oysters kept bobbing to the surface. So I concluded the Irish love oysters. Unfortunately, they tend to love them most when they’re swimming in cream, a fate to which I would never consign them. Here in America we like our oysters fried. But I no more intended to fry these guys than to bathe them in cream. Not only is deep-frying unhealthy, it’s also messy and far too much trouble. As I continued to pore over my Irish cookbooks, I noticed Guinness stout appeared as an ingredient nearly as often as oysters. and suddenly inspiration hit. When it comes to frying, my favorite batter is made with beer. Why not batter my oysters with Guinness (and a bit of flour, of course), then sauté them, rather than fry them? As for the sautéing, a couple of years ago, I learned how well it worked as a frying substitute when I used the technique on beer-battered shrimp. Turns out it works just as well on oysters. As a result, this recipe requires only a single tablespoon of oil, instead of the 4 cups usually called for in deep-fat frying. And the oysters turn out with a nice (albeit not so stiff) crust. That said, a non-stick pan is a must for this recipe. Now I just needed to sauce them up a bit, which brings us to Colman’s Mustard. I know it’s made in England, not Ireland, but that’s close enough for me. What I love about Colman’s is it’s seriously hot, very reminiscent in its tear-inducing, nasal-cleansing potency of the equally scorching Chinese mustard many of us love. I added a generous dollop of the stuff to a combo of mayo and Greek yogurt, along with some chopped pickles. The only thing missing now was a nod to one of Ireland’s favorite vegeta-

could be done, we also avoided that other St. Pat’s cocktail crutch, Midori (a green melon liqueur). This bracing cocktail also is delicious cut with seltzer and served as a spritzer. Or add ice to the blender and turn it into a frozen Irish margarita.

• GUINNESS Continued from page D1 “It’s building the flavors,” said Medrich, author most recently of “Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts” (Artisan, 2012). “There’s a lot of chocolate-coffee-malty things going on in the Guinness. The Kahlua picks up on the coffee notes in the

Guinness. So everything’s working together.” Carbonation makes beer a natural friend of salty, fatty cheese, said Janet Fletcher, author of the upcoming “Cheese & Beer” (Andrews McMeel, April 2013). Stout, in particular, she said, offers elements of caramel that complement varieties such as Gouda, and creaminess that boosts triple-cream cheeses.

Irish Grasshopper Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 1 1 ounce Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur 1 ounce green creme de menthe liqueur 1 ounce clear creme de cacoa liqueur 1/2 cup whole milk Finely chopped Andes chocolate mint candies, to garnish In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake together the Bailey’s, creme de menthe, creme de cacoa and milk. Moisten the rim of a double old fashioned glass with the cocktail mixture, then dip the rim in the chopped candies to coat the rim. Strain the drink into the glass.

That creaminess also makes it a good match for mild blue cheeses, Fletcher said, such as Ireland’s soft, supple Cashel Blue. And though she said she prefers hoppier beers with cheddar, she admires the historic pairing. “It’s been the cornerstone of many a pub lunch for centuries,” she said. “There’s the pleasure of knowing you’re having a classic.”

Coffee, Irish whiskey and cream. Taken separately, they’re a tasty trio. But combine them just the right way and in just the right proportions, and they get even better, transforming into a drink that can perk up the grayest day. We’re talking Irish coffee, of course, a drink that’s especially popular around St. Patrick’s Day, but good any time you want to add some zing to your caffeine. The secret, said Larry Silva, general manager of the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco – which serves up 2,000 Irish coffees a day – is how you put the drink together. At the Buena Vista – the original source of the drink in the U.S. – Irish coffee starts with a stemmed, 6-ounce glass that’s been preheated with hot water. And both of those elements are critical. A bigger or smaller glass would throw off the coffee-booze balance. A cold glass results in a tepid cocktail. For a touch of sweetness, the Buena Vista recipe adds two cubes of sugar, though other recipes call for brown sugar. The cream, meanwhile, should be fresh and just slightly whipped – nothing from an aerosol can. As for the whiskey, the Buena Vista is using Tullamore Dew. In general, what you are seeking is a smooth whiskey that won’t fight with the other flavors, Silva said. This isn’t the time to pull out that peaty Scotch. But don’t be afraid to use something good. “Using a premium spirit elevates any cocktail,” said John Concannon, a California vintner who has teamed with Ireland’s Cooley Distillery to develop Concannon Irish Whiskey, which also makes a good Irish coffee. Last year, thirsty revelers sucked down 3,640 Irish coffees. Take that, green beer. Looking to brew a little Irish

• OYSTERS Continued from page D1 The only thing missing now was a nod to one of Ireland’s favorite vegetables after the potato, namely cabbage. So I topped this appetizer with a tidy little mix of shredded cabbage and carrots, tossed simply with cider vinegar, sugar and salt. The acid in this topping provides a tangy counterbalance to the breaded oyster with its creamy sauce. The whole concoction came together very nicely. A true ode to Ireland.

cheer yourself this St. Patrick’s Day? Try this classic recipe, or the chocolate-laced variation by stirring 2 tablespoons of milk chocolate bits into the coffee at the same time as the sugar.

Irish Coffee Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 1 Boiling water Hot coffee 2 sugar cubes or 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey 1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream, lightly beaten (but still pourable) Fill a large coffee glass with boiling water to preheat it. Let it stand for about 1 minute, then empty the glass. Fill the glass three-quarters full with hot coffee. Add the sugar, then stir until dissolved. Stir in the whiskey. Top the coffee-whiskey blend with the lightly whipped cream. To do this, hold an overturned spoon over the coffee, then slowly pour the cream over it. The goal is for the cream to float on top of the coffee; do not mix it in. Part of the Irish coffee experience is drinking the hot coffee through a layer of cool cream.

1/4 teaspoon salt. The batter should have the consistency of a thick pancake batter. If it is thicker than that, add additional beer. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, cornichons or pickle and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. In another small bowl, toss together the carrots, cabbage, vinegar, sugar and a hefty pinch of salt. In a large nonstick skillet over medium, heat the oil. Dip the oysters in the additional flour to coat them on all sides. Transfer the coated oyster to a strainer to shake gently to remove excess flour. Add the coated oysters to the beer batter. Lift them from the batter, letting the excess batter drip off, then add them to the skillet. Cook until they are golden, about 2 minutes per side, then transfer them to paper towels to drain. To serve, put the oysters in the reserved shells, then top each with a bit of the mustard sauce and some of the carrot mixture. Serve either on a platter as hors d’oeuvres, or divide between 4 serving plates. Serve immediately.

Wife can’t forgive cheating husband Dear Abby: I have been married 30 years and have raised four children to adulthood. I recently found out my husband has been having an affair with a prostitute from a strip club. He paid all her living expenses and promised to marry her. She was 26 when it started; he is 56. He told her his wife had run away with another man and that he was divorced. When I confronted him, he lied, lied, lied. He wants to continue living together and pretend nothing happened. He went to counseling and quit. Then he went to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with a “mixed personality disorder.” He says he wants to make up for his mistake with me, but all the while he was having unprotected sex. I doubt he’ll ever stop lying to me because he always has. I can’t spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder because this has happened before, although not to this extent. He said he just “led a double life,” and he doesn’t want to do it anymore. He admitted he did it because he never thought he would get caught. During this long affair, he was brazen, arrogant and abusive to me. Now he wants to be attentive, but he makes me sick. What do I do? – Can’t Trust Him In New Jersey Dear Can’t Trust Him: Only you can decide that, but in order to do it rationally, without anger or vengefulness, I’m advising you to make up your mind AFTER some sessions with a psychologist on your own. What your husband wants at this point is far less important than what YOU

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips want. And why you would want to continue in a marriage to an abusive philanderer is something only you can answer. Dear Abby: I am a gay man who has been single for seven years. I met this guy, “Mark,” about 10 months ago, and we hit it off immediately. We have almost everything in common except that I’m a Democrat and he’s a Republican. We both know how we feel about our political differences and decided to continue dating anyway. My problem concerns my other gay friends, mostly Democrats, who don’t like Mark because he’s a Republican. I have tried explaining to them that we overlook our differences and concentrate on the many things we have in common, and they should try to do the same. But they no longer invite me to gatherings, and their phone calls have ceased. I feel hurt and rejected by my closest friends, some of whom I have known my whole life. I feel torn between them and Mark, who is someone I really care for. Is it wrong to continue my relationship with my boyfriend at the expense of my friends? – Politically

Beans are especially rich in soluble fiber. They also take a while for the body to digest, meaning you feel full longer after a meal. With so many choices – from navy and kidney beans to lentils, garbanzos, black-eyed peas and beyond – and so many ways to prepare them, beans are a very versatile food. NUTS. Eating almonds, walnuts, peanuts and other nuts is good for the heart. Eating 2 ounces of nuts a day can slightly lower LDL. And nuts have additional nutrients that protect the heart in other ways.

FOODS FORTIFIED WITH STEROLS AND STANOLS. Companies are adding sterols and stanols to foods ranging from granola bars to orange juice and chocolate. They’re also available as supplements. FATTY FISH. Eating fish two or three times a week can lower LDL in two ways: by replacing meat, which has LDL-boosting saturated fats, and by delivering LDL-lowering omega-3 fats. Omega-3s also reduce triglycerides, a type of fat in the bloodstream. If you’re buying packaged food at the market, check the Nutrition Facts label to see how much of each kind of good fat and bad fat, and how much fiber, are present. It’s much easier to eat healthy today.

Incorrect Dear Politically Incorrect:

Eating the right foods can lower cholesterol Dear Dr. K: I know lots of foods raise cholesterol levels. But are there any foods that lower cholesterol? Dear Reader: Indeed there are. But before talking about them, it’s worth saying a few words about foods that raise your cholesterol. Except for a very few people who inherit genes that cause them to have high cholesterol, most of us who have had a “cholesterol problem” (which includes me) do it to ourselves by the foods we eat. Foods with lots of cholesterol raise our blood cholesterol levels. But foods with lots of saturated fats and trans fats (the “bad fats”) are even worse. They cause your liver to make lots of cholesterol. Foods rich in saturated fats include whole milk, butter, cheese, ice cream, red meat and coconut products. Foods rich in trans fats include hard margarines, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, many deep-fried fast foods and most commercial baked goods. These are the foods you want to eat less of to avoid raising your cholesterol. What about foods to eat more of, to lower your cholesterol? Some cholesterol-lowering foods have a lot of soluble fiber, which sticks to cholesterol in the gut. When that happens, the cholesterol is not easily digested, so it passes out of your body in a bowel movement instead of entering your blood. The same thing happens with foods rich in plant sterols and stanols. Other cholesterol-lowering foods are rich in the “good fats” (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats) that directly lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. Here are five foods you can start with to get your cholesterol-busting under way: OATS. Choose oatmeal or a cold oat-based cereal such as

has been decided, one would hope inflamed emotions will settle down and life can return to normal. I know several couples who have strong and happy “mixed” marriages in which the spouses do not always agree politically. It is a shame you would be required to choose between the man you care for and your longtime friends, who want to ignore that there are also gay Republicans. I see nothing wrong with continuing your relationship with Mark; however, I think it may be time for you to expand your circle of friends if this is how your old ones behave. You’ll all be happier if you do. Trust me on that.

Let me explain...

Most hearing loss occurs so gradually that you may be the last to know it is happening to you. However, to others (friends, family, co-workers, even your boss) it may be obvious that something is not right. Hearing loss makes it seem like you don’t pay attention or that you are much older than you really are. Untreated hearing loss can cause you to retreat into isolation and lose touch with the people and activities most important to you. As you constantly strain to hear what people are saying, it can also cause irritability, fatigue, tension and depression. It doesn’t have to be this way. Over 90% of people that get help for their hearing report improvements in their quality of life. Studies confirm that people that get help for their hearing are more active, happier, healthier, and have higher earning potential than people with untreated hearing loss.

‘New Girl’ stars dish on kiss The recent, gasp-worthy lip lock between “New Girl” stars Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson was the juicy plot twist both fans and the show’s cast have been waiting for. “Personally, I’ve wanted it to happen,” Johnson said Monday night at the PaleyFest red carpet in Los Angeles. “I think the idea of what’s going to happen between them is just kind of fun right now. There’s a lot of mileage there that we’re starting to explore.” Johnson, who plays Nick, the surly roommate of Deschanel’s “adorkable” Jess, says audience reaction has been overwhelming positive and immediate. The actor racked up roughly 20,000 new Twitter followers after the kiss aired Jan. 29. Deschanel, star and producer of the quirky Fox comedy, said she was just as surprised as fans to see the characters’ on-again, off-again chemistry finally come to fruition. “We actually didn’t get a script [for the kiss scene] because the storyline of that episode changed last-minute. It was actually pitched to us,” explained Deschanel. “So, yeah, I was really excited because they kept us apart for a really long time. And I was just happy that they went there, because there’s actually more possibility for storylines.” Will Nick and Jess’ new romance reach the iconic status of other TV love stories such as Ross and Rachel of “Friends” or Sam and Diane of “Cheers?” Johnson is certainly hoping so. “’Cheers’ is my show,” he said. “I’m copping it as much as I can, and I watch it on a regular basis just to see what they did.”

He can’t drive 55, and he can’t reach a deal to rebuild a beach bar damaged by Superstorm Sandy, either. Rocker Sammy Hagar won’t be back in Atlantic City this summer. He failed to reach a deal with the casino company that owns a bar that had been known as Sammy’s Beach Bar for the past three years. The former Van Halen singer says on his website he couldn’t agree with Caesars Entertainment on a deal to operate the bar this summer. Hagar says he’s looking for a new partnership in the region.

Jerry Springer demurs on political run Daytime television host and former Cincinnati mayor Jerry Springer doesn’t see himself getting back into elective politics. Springer’s name has been bandied in recent years in Ohio as a possible Democratic candidate for Congress or governor. But he told The Cincinnati Enquirer he’s only a year away from turning 70, and with each year, it becomes less likely. But he remains active politically speaking and raising money. While on city council, Springer was caught in a scandal over paying for sex.

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP ‘Feed the Need’ food drive at Curves clubs WEST DUNDEE – Curves International is conducting its 15th annual food drive, “Feed the Need,” and challenges Curves’ club members to meet a goal of 100,000 donations during the two-week period ending March 23. Each club, including the Curves at 858 W. Main St., West Dundee, is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash to support their local community food bank. In addition, Curves clubs will waive the joining fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank during the two-week period. When combined donations from all Curves clubs reach the goal of 100,000 donations, Curves International will donate 10 percent of March profits to “Blessings in a Backpack,” a nonprofit organization that ensures that impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year. Since its inception, the total contributions to local food banks from the annual Curves food drive exceed 75 million pounds of food, according to Curves Vice President of Marketing Mike Raymond. “Each year, we encourage our clubs and members to donate even more than the year before,” he said. For more information, call 847-783-6500 or email 97OY0BJ@curvesmail.com.

By CHRIS CASHMAN ccashman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Gary Lang Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac is reconfiguring, remodeling and expanding its showrooms and customer service areas – just in time for its 30th anniversary. Gary Lang Auto Group was founded in 1983, and moved into its current location at 1107 S. Route 31, McHenry, in 1995. “There were some things that we decided to change based on customers’ needs,” said Gary Lang, dealership owner. “We’ve grown 300 p e r c e n t Gary Lang since we moved into this building. We’re handling a lot more volume in our service department, and handling more volume in our showrooms than ever before,” he said. Some of the work – including a huge arch being installed at the entrance – is part of the General Motors Imaging program. But changes at Gary Lang Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac go beyond a change in facade. “The customer waiting area has been increased three-fold,”Lang said. “We’ve also reconfigured our customer write-up areas to make them more efficient. Making it easier, more efficient for the customer – that was the key,” he said. “We were able to take the existing space and just make it more efficient rather than enlarge it,” Lang said. The interior includes a more modern look with light wood furniture, a greeter station and new sales offices. Customer lounge areas feature free Wi-Fi, kids play area, computer work station and a coffee bar. New restrooms are under construction. “For over 30 years we

Lost that lovin’ feeling for business or career?

8th straight Dow advance The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Dow Jones industrial average logged its longest winning streak in two years — barely. A tiny gain gave the Dow its eighth straight increase Tuesday, long enough to match its longest series of gains since February 2011. The Dow rose 2.77 points, or 0.02 percent, to 14,450.06, having wavered between small gains and losses for most of the day. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 ended down 3.74 points, or 0.2 percent, at 1,552.48. The Nasdaq composite dropped 10.55 points, or 0.32 percent, to 3,242.32 Stocks have surged this year as investors became encouraged by a recovery in the housing market and a pickup in hiring. Strong corporate earnings and continuing economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve are also supporting demand for stocks. The Dow has gained 10.3 percent so far in 2013, and last week it surpassed its previous all-time high of 14,164.53. The S&P 500 has risen 8.9 percent this year and is less than 1 percentage point away from its record close of 1,565.15 set in October 2007. David Bianco, chief U.S. equity strategist at Deutsche Bank, said the S&P 500 index will likely maintain its momentum in the coming weeks and surpass its all-time high. Strong first-quarter corporate earnings reports could also push the market higher. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the market has a typical five percent pullback in the summer,” said Bianco. “But I think we go higher before that happens.” The last significant downturn for stocks started before the Presidential elections in November, when the Dow fell 8 percent between Oct. 5 and Nov. 15 on concern that a divided government wouldn’t be able to reach a budget deal to stop the U.S. going over the “fiscal cliff” of sweeping tax hikes and deep spending cuts.

Whoa that lovin’ feelin’ You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’, Now it’s gone, gone, gone whoaohoh. You know the song, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” performed by the Righteous Brothers and immortalized in the movie “Top Gun” where Tom Cruise sings it to woo Kelly McGillis. You’re probably humming the tune right now. Lately, have you been finding it difficult to feel the love about your business or career? “Love,” you say? “I love my spouse, my kids, the Chicago Blackhawks, French vanilla ice cream, but love my business? I am way too busy to love my business.” Loving your business and the work you do is the most important strategic advantage in business today. When people love the work they are doing, they are inspired, passionate and committed to excellence. In spite of a recovering economy, employee and employer dissatisfaction is commonplace. We have all read the studies that less than half of the global workforce feels valued by their employer and a large percentage of employees intend to look for a new job within a year. These people at all levels of an organization dread going to work, are resigned that nothing will change and are livin’ for the weekend. If this describes you or someone that works for you, it is possible to start feelin’ the love again and recapture the excitement in your business and career. Your “Love Your Business Game” to feel the love is a three-step process:

another company? Take a long, hard and honest look at the decisions you made then about your business, your career, your customers, your co-workers and your future career path. Who was wrong or right in the process (yourself included)? Step 3: Change yourself and your circumstances will change. Begin to think and act as though you actually LOVE your business and career. Like a person deep in the throes of passion, follow the love in your business. Give up any resentments, disappointments, hopes or promises about how it was “supposed” to be? Short pencil in hand; list what you are willing to start/stop/continue doing in order to get the love back again. Make the tough decisions; fire the clients that you are tolerating and don’t love, leave the job or recreate the career that you have written off. When love is present, there is compassion, forgiveness, appreciation and action. Finding renewed purpose and commitment, will widen your view about your work and make a positive impact on your company, community, nation and the world. Yes, the world. Create an environment that will support you in bringing the excitement back. Engage your mind, body, soul and feet; get moving and take action. Actively seek out communities of other business lovers. Watch out for the naysayers, cynics, doomsayers and the people that are “just getting by” in their professional lives. Study the most successful or-

SUCCESS Kathleen Caldwell Step 1: Take a trip down memory lane and remember when you first loved your work. You felt juiced and excited about going to work. Somewhere along the way, you started pressing the snooze button. Think back about the times when you were bright-eyed and enthusiastic about the massive learning curve that consumed you. Recall when you spent hours immersed in creating a new process or product and not even realized it; when you were energetic, passionate and having fun using your natural strengths and talents. Remember the first days at your company and how much you enjoyed the people you worked with before you had them all “figured out.” You were the new guy/gal and you naturally engaged in conversations about the limitless possibilities of your work, the team’s creative capacities and the company’s future. As corny as it sounds, love was present and palpable. Write down your loving recollections, feelings and experiences. Remember the old saying, “A short pencil is better than a long memory!” Step 2: Admit it. Like the song says, “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.” Acknowledge and do an analysis of where or when this happened. Were you ever tempted chuck it all and start over in a new business or

ganizations and people in and out of your industry and see how they love the work they are doing. Construct a new Business Love Manifesto to declare your love to your employees, partners, clients and prospects. Remember that new eyes, ears and moving feet will guide you to new opportunities. Declare your Business Love Manifesto and share your experiences of renewed love, passion, admiration, puppy love about your business and career. The positive effects of loving your business will transform the way you approach your daily living and the results you enjoy. My clients report that when they are more loving at work, they naturally have a more loving and rewarding family life. Loving the work you do and being proud about the contributions you make will transform your life and your business. By engaging in the Love Your Business Game you will create new and rewarding opportunities and have more fun along the way!

U.S. employers post more jobs, cut fewer workers The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. employers advertised more job openings in January, suggesting that hiring will remain healthy in coming months. Job openings rose 2.2 percent in January from December to 3.69 million, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Openings had fallen nearly 5 percent in December, and they remain below November’s level of nearly 3.8 million. Yet the report provided further evidence that the U.S. job market is strengthening. Employers laid off the fewest workers in January than in any month since records began in 2001. And the number of Americans who quit their jobs rose to the highest in more than four years. People usually quit when they have another job, so more quitting suggests it is easier to find work.

The biggest increase in job openings was in professional and business services, which includes high-paying fields such as accounting, engineering, and architecture. It also includes temp jobs, which typically carry few benefits. The next-largest gain was in retail. On Friday, the government reported that hiring in February was robust: Employers added 236,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate fell from 7.9 percent in January to a four-year low of 7.7 percent. February capped a fourthmonth hiring spree in which employers added an average of 205,000 jobs a month. At the same time, the competition for open positions remains strong. About 12.3 million people were unemployed in January, which means there were 3.3 unemployed people, on average, competing for each job. That’s sharply down from a peak of nearly

7 unemployed people competing for each job in July 2009. But in a healthy economy, the ratio is roughly 2 to 1. The report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, or JOLTS, calculates total hiring, layoffs and quits. By contrast, the department’s monthly jobs report measures the unemployment rate and net hiring. Net hiring equals total hiring minus layoffs, quits and other separations. Since the recession ended in June 2009, total hiring hasn’t increased as fast as job openings have. Businesses have been slow to fill vacancies. The number of openings has increased 55 percent. The 3.69 million openings in January is only slightly less than the nearly 4 million that were posted each month, on average, before the recession. Total hiring, though, has risen only 17 percent in the same period. It rose

to 4.25 million last month. That’s well below the pre-recession monthly average of about 5.1 million. Still, because employers are laying off fewer workers, net hiring has accelerated in recent months — a sign that employers are confident about their prospects and haven’t been discouraged by tax increases or higher gas prices. Monthly job gains averaged more than 200,000 from November through February. That compares with an average of 154,000 jobs from July through October and only 108,000 from April through June. Other reports also suggest that steady hiring will continue. The ManpowerGroup said Tuesday that its latest quarterly survey of 18,000 U.S. employers found that 18 percent expect to add jobs in the April-June quarter. That’s up one percentage point from the previous quarter.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Carl Sandburg, a poet who won three Pulitzer Prizes, said, “A politician should have three hats: one for throwing into the ring, one for talking through, and one for pulling rabbits out of if elected.” A bridge declarer should have three hats: one for counting his losers, one for counting his winners, and one for watching his entries -- our theme this week. In today’s deal, how would a milliner play in three no-trump after West leads the spade queen? The South hand has only 21 high-card points, but it is strong enough to open two clubs instead of two no-trump. Count two for an ace and one for a king. A typical two-no-trump opening totals seven. This hand tallies to nine. Upgrade when you have a lot of aces and kings. North is nearly worth a slam-invitational rebid of four no-trump, but not quite. With no ive-card suit or 4-4 it, you normally need a combined 33 points for six no-trump. South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club. He would hope

to get a third diamond trick, assuming the missing cards split 3-2. But declarer would still need another winner. It is much simpler to take three club tricks. However, South must be careful both not to block the suit and to have a dummy entry available after driving out the club king. Declarer must take the irst trick in his hand with the spade king, cash the club ace, and play another club -- and keep leading that suit until West takes his king. With the spade ace still on the board, the contract is guaranteed.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Pisces has numerous, wonderful enviable qualities, which in the year ahead will be lifted to even greater heights. The revitalization of your better traits will further enhance your probabilities for success. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You are presently in a positive cycle in terms of your financial affairs. You might even acquire something that was long overdue. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- One of the best ways to get your co-workers’ cooperation is to make sure that what’s good for you can be great for them as well. It’s one of the keys to success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Rather than vying for center stage, keep a low profile, especially if you’ve been given a key role to play. It’s the best way to get the acknowledgment that you crave. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you want some interesting things to occur in your social life, you can’t wait for the right people to come to you. Seek them out yourself and, in a nice way, make your presence felt. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- One of the best ways to deal with a competitive situation is to take more positive action than your adversaries do. Keep an optimistic, proactive frame of mind, and you’ll come out ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Examine all new endeavors not merely for what they can do for you immediately, but how they can enhance your future. When you look ahead, make sure all the pieces fit together. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Sometimes we find ourselves in the excellent position of being able to reap a harvest from seeds we haven’t sown. This might be your scenario today, so be alert for such an opportunity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Snap judgments you arrive at might not be as perceptive as those of your mate’s. Listen to his or her input, which could provide you with some alternatives that you haven’t considered. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- The amount of zeal you display while working on a job is likely to set the tone that others will follow. If you want everything to unobtrusively buzz along, maintain an accelerated pace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You are likely to have more fun and feel more comfortable in a small gathering than in a large group. Try to stay within your comfort zone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If your primary goal is to amply provide for those you love, you’ll make sure that this objective is met, no matter what the day may throw at you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should pay attention to intuition that tells you the proper course of action to take. Any afterthoughts will be less accurate, and land you on the rocks.
