New pope, Jorge Bergoglio, faces challenges By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Francis, associating himself with the humble 13th-century Italian preacher
who lived a life of poverty. Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of more than 100,000 people who packed a rain-soaked St. Peter’s Square for the announcement, marveling that the cardinals needed to look to “the end of the earth” to find a bishop of Rome. In choosing a 76-year-old pope, the

ST. CHARLES – An Algonquin teen who shot and killed his father in 2010 has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty but mentally ill to second-degree murder. David W. Szalonek, now 19, was 16 when he shot 51-yearold Brian Szalonek in the head with a shotgun on Feb. 8, 2010, in their home on Westbourne Parkway. The plea deal was accepted Wednesday in Kane County Court by Judge James Hallock. A psychiatrist diagnosed David Szalonek David W. with Asperg- Szalonek er’s syndrome, which is a form of autism, and depression. About six months before the shooting, Szalonek had been hospitalized in a psychiatric facility. Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Pam Monaco said David Szalonek told police that he and his father had argued for several hours the day of the shooting and his father hit him a couple of times. “The defendant had been very angry at his father that day,” Monaco said. “Very angry ... around 6 o’clock that evening, the defendant decided he would kill his father.” The elder Szalonek had been sleeping in a bedroom when his son entered and turned on the light “so the victim would see him,” Monaco said. “The defendant pointed the shotgun at his father, cocked the hammer, and the victim saw his son, the defendant, point the shotgun at him,” she said.

Local elections matter more than you think If the number of people who complain about their towns, school districts or other local governmental units were equal to the number of people who actually bother to vote, we’d have something closer to a representative democracy. About 66 percent of McHenry County voters turned out for the contentious November presidential election, compared with about 20 percent for the 2012 spring primary. Bet the under for the April 9 Illinois Consolidated General Election. Grown people can fling themselves into hysterics over what a president or U.S. Speaker of the House said or implied 365 days a year. You’re free to rail against the Koch brothers, the liberal media, Fox News or the bogeyman of your choice. But the reality is that whatever those people do or say doesn’t usually have much impact on your daily life. Frankly, they care about your suburban existence about as much as you care for box elder bugs.

VIEWS Kevin Lyons
Election Central Follow the local, state and national races at NWHerald. com/election. Yet some form of local government touches you nearly every day. Did Eric Holder pick up your trash this morning? No, but a waste hauler contracted by your municipal government did. Take a shower this morning? Thought so, couldn’t smell you from here. If you live in a municipality, that was city water flushing the crust out of your eyes. The city sets the water rate and makes sure the water is up to environmental standards so it doesn’t wash your corneas out along with the
crust. Have kids in school? That’s an obvious one. Even if you don’t, do you know where more than half of your property-tax bill is going? Perhaps you should. And if your schools stink, that affects the value of your home. I could go on and on, but the point is that local government is more relevant to you than the federal government despite what the shrill voice on the radio tells you. It’s not that you shouldn’t care about what’s happening in Washington, D.C., or Springfield, but village hall and your local school boards deserve your attention, too. The good news is that you’ve got plenty of time to research who’s running in the races that will appear on your ballots on the Northwest Herald’s election website – Election Central – at elections.nwherald.com. Not all of the scores of taxing bodies in our coverage area have contested races, but we reached out to candidates in contests for cities, villages, school boards and townships, and
most candidates responded to questionnaires, which we’ve posted on the site. We also gathered brief video introductions from the candidates that will be posted by this weekend so you can put a face and voice to the name, and members of our editorial board have been meeting with candidates to determine our endorsements, which are scheduled to begin to be published Sunday. Some of these races might not be great talk radio or social media fodder, but for the most part, these are candidates who just want to make their communities better. While they might disagree on the means, the intentions usually are good. The pay is minimal to nonexistent, and the efforts should be appreciated.

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later, even with the lower doses used today, troubling new research suggests. The risk comes from any amount of radiation, starts five years after treatment and lasts for decades, doctors found. Patients shouldn’t panic – radiation has improved cancer survival, and that is the top priority, doctors say. The chance of suffering a radia-
Count on Me...
tion-induced heart problem is fairly small. For example, 4 to 5 of every 100 women who are 50 years old and free of heart risks will develop a major cardiac problem by age 80, and radiation treatment would add one more case, the research suggests. Women also can do a lot to cut their risk by keeping weight, cholesterol and blood pressure under control. Still, the study reveals that the potential harm from radiation runs deeper than many medical experts may have realized, especially for women who already have cardiac risk
factors such as diabetes. And it comes amid greater awareness of overtreatment – that many women are being treated for cancers that would never prove fatal, leading to trouble down the road such as heart disease. Some chemotherapy drugs are known to harm the heart muscle, but the new study shows radiation can hurt arteries, making them prone to harden and clog and cause a heart attack. Women who receive both treatments have both types of risk. The study “will raise the antenna” about the need to do more to prevent this, said
Dr. David Slosky, a cardiologist at Vanderbilt University, one of the growing number of medical centers with special “cardio-oncology” programs for cancer survivors. With today’s lower radiation doses, “it is less of a problem, but it is not going away,” he said. The artery-related problems that the study tracked may be just the most visible of many risks because radiation also can cause valve, rhythm and other heart troubles, said Dr. Javid Moslehi. He is co-director of the cardio-oncology program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Canonsburg, which is also hometown to Bobby Vinton, bills itself as “American’s Small Town Music Capital.” But, for now, Como has been silenced until sometime this spring because of renovations to the borough building.

Ill. Gov. Quinn wants appeal of court ruling Attorney general prefers to wait for lawmakers to craft concealed carry By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn said Wednesday that he wants the Illinois attorney general to appeal a federal court ruling that the state’s last-in-the-nation concealed carry ban is unconstitutional, a move that would take it before the U.S. Supreme Court. But Attorney General Lisa Madigan said she prefers to wait and see whether lawmakers craft a new law this spring that would allow the concealed carry of weapons, as the federal appeals court ordered them to do. A three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Illinois’ ban last year and gave lawmakers until early June to legalize the practice. Last month, the court declined Madigan’s request that the full appeals court reconsider the ruling. The matter has led to intense hours-long hearings at the State Capitol, where lawmakers and anti-violence advocates from Chicago – which has seen a spike in violence – have been pitted against gun rights advocates from less populated and more conservative areas. The matter has placed Illinois in the spotlight at a time when the nationwide debate

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn wants the state’s attorney general to appeal a federal court ruling that Illinois’ concealed carry ban is unconstitutional. over gun control has been reignited. Quinn, a Chicago Democrat who favors strict gun control including an assault weapons ban, said violence has been an “epidemic” in parts of the state and Illinois should be the nation’s leader in keeping the concealed carry ban in place. “The only hope now would be to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court,” he told reporters after an unrelated event. “The attorney general ought to take look at that and pursue that.” Madigan, who previously said she hadn’t decided whether to appeal, appeared at the same event and said she thinks Illinois’ current law banning concealed carry is constitutional. But she also wants to wait and see what lawmakers do.
Panel slams military on sex assault cases By DONNA CASSATA and RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a stinging rebuke of the military’s efforts to curb sexual assault, members of a Senate panel hammered Defense Department officials on Wednesday for making too little progress in combating the crimes and failing to improve a military justice system that victims described as slow and uncaring. During a two-part hearing, the panel heard harrowing testimony from several victims, who said military justice is broken and pushed for Congress to take action to stem the rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment that they said are pervasive in all the service branches. Pentagon officials said they are taking the problem seriously. “Sexual assault in the military is not only an abhorrent crime that does enormous harm to the victim, but it is also a virulent attack on the discipline and good order on which military cohesion depends,” said

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said she hasn’t made up her mind yet on a 2014 gubernatorial run. Madigan told reporters Wednesday that she really enjoys her current job. She said she doesn’t have a timeline for when she’ll make her decision. If Madigan enters the race, Lisa Madigan it could prove a difficult Democratic primary for Gov. Pat Quinn, who said he’ll seek re-election. Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley is also weighing a run. Several Republicans, including Congressman Aaron Schock and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford, are also considering it. Madigan is the daughter of House Speaker Michael Madigan, who is head of the Democratic Party in Illinois.
Madigan: Gay marriage 12 votes short in House SPRINGFIELD – A proposal to make Illinois the 10th state to allow gay marriage will face a “very difficult” reception in the Illinois House, Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan said Wednesday as advocates vowed to continue pushing for the legislation. The state Senate passed a bill last month – on Valentine’s Day – allowing same-sex couples marriage rights. Gov. Pat Quinn has said he would approve gay marriage if it comes to his desk. But Madigan, a Chicago Democrat who backs the bill,
in a sexual assault case as evidence of how the military fails the victims who come forward to report the crimes. Under military law, a commander who convenes a court martial is known as the convening authority and has the sole discretion to reduce or set aside guilty verdicts and sentences or to
reverse a jury’s verdict. Her voice rising, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said all the promises of “zero tolerance” from the witnesses amount to nothing if a convening authority is the only individual who can decide whether to overturn a case. Gillibrand is the chairwoman of the Senate Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee. “I appreciate the work you’re doing, but it’s not enough,” she told the military officers arrayed at a long witness table. Gillibrand then directed her frustration at Harding, demanding to know whether justice was done when Franklin overturned a military jury’s conviction. Harding responded that Franklin reviewed the facts and made an independent decision with integrity. Gillibrand then asked whether justice was served when the five senior officers who made up the jury rendered a guilty verdict. Harding said he could not say. “The jury and the convening authority did their duty,” he said.

said the legislation is 12 votes short in the chamber. The Chicago Democrat said he’s been contacted by Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, who opposes the idea of gay marriage.

Senate Democrats unveil federal budget blueprint WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats unveiled a budget Wednesday that calls for $1 trillion in new tax revenues over the coming decade but actually increases spending, while protecting the party’s domestic policy priorities and adding $4 trillion more to the national debt than a slashing alternative from House Republicans. The plan by Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., blends about $1 trillion in modest cuts to health care providers, the Pentagon, domestic agencies and interest payments on the debt with an equal amount in new revenue claimed by closing tax breaks. But because Democrats want to restore $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over the same period – cuts imposed by Washington’s failure to strike a broader budget pact – Murray’s blueprint increases spending slightly when compared with current policies.

Behind new pope’s simple image lies a complex past By BRIAN MURPHY and MICHAEL WARREN The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – On the streets in Buenos Aires, the stories about the cardinal who would become the first pope from the Americas often include a very ordinary backdrop: The city bus during rush hour. Tales are traded about chatting with Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio as he squeezed in with others for the commute to work. They sometimes talk about church affairs. Other times it could be about what he planned to cook for dinner in the simple downtown apartment he chose over an opulent church estate. Or perhaps it was a mention of his affection for the tango, which he said he loved as a youth despite having one lung removed following an infection. On the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica just after a rain shower Wednesday – wearing unadorned white robes – the new Pope Francis also appeared to strike the same tone of simplicity and pastoral humility for a church desperate to move past the tarnished era of abuse scandals and internal Vatican upheavals. While the new pontiff is not without some political baggage – including questions over his role during a military dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s – the selection of the 76-year-old Bergoglio reflected a series of history-making decisions by fellow cardinals who seemed determined to offer a suggestion of renewal to a church under pressures on many fronts. “He is a real voice for the voiceless and vulnerable,”

Pope Francis flanked by Monsignor Guido Marini, master of liturgical ceremonies, waves to the crowd Wednesday from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. said Kim Daniels, director of Catholic Voices USA, a prochurch group. “That is the message.” Pope Francis – the first from Latin America and the first from the Jesuit order – bowed to the crowds in St. Peter’s Square and asked for their blessing in a hint of the humble style he cultivated while trying to modernize Argentina’s conservative Catholic church and move past a messy legacy of alleged complicity during the rule of the military junta from 1976-83. “Brothers and sisters, good evening,” he said before making a reference to his roots in Latin America, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world’s Roman Catholics. Groups of supporters waved the white-and-blue Argentine flags in St. Peter’s Square as Francis made his first public appearance as pope. Bergoglio reportedly had envoys urge Argentinians not to fly to Rome to celebrate his papacy, but instead donate money to the poor.
In taking the name Francis, he drew connections to the 13th-century St. Francis of Assisi, who saw his calling as trying to rebuild the simple spirit of the church and devote his life to missionary journeys. It also evokes references to Francis Xavier, one of the 16th-century founders of the Jesuit order that is known for its scholarship and outreach. Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, came close to becoming pope during the last conclave in 2005. He reportedly gained the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running before selection of Vatican insider Joseph Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI. By returning to Bergoglio, the conclave confounded speculation that it would turn to a younger candidate more attuned to younger elements in the church and with possibly more stamina for the rigors of the modern papacy with nearly nonstop obligations and frequent global travel.
Some hope new pope can invigorate church • REACTION Continued from page A1 Cardinals from around the world selected Buenos Aires-born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on the second day of the papal conclave. Seventy-sixyear-old Bergoglio, who will be called Francis I, marks a new beginning for a church steeped in tradition but rattled by scandal. Reversing the custom of selecting a European pope, Francis – as the first from the Americas – can invigorate the flock, local religious leaders said. “This is a breakthrough,” said the Rev. Burt Absalon of St. Mary’s in Woodstock. “We have for the first time a non-European pope – that’s going to bring in a new perspective to the church.” The Rev. Johnson Lopez, a native Colombian and also from St. Mary’s, hailed the college of cardinals’ choice to reach out to the faithful in the Western Hemisphere. Latin America has a vibrant church, and accounts for about 40 percent of the world’s Catholics. “It’s great news for us,” Lopez said. “We are very happy
“We are blessed by a lot of intellectuals and theologians, a lot of great minds, but what we need is the simplicity of Francis to inspire us.” The Rev. Burt Absalon of St. Mary’s in Woodstock to see that.” His papal moniker was a conscious choice, some religious leaders believe. “Francis” is a nod to changing times for a church shaken by sex abuse and financial scandals. St. Francis of Assisi is perhaps the most revered Catholic saint, known for his dedication to the poor and trying to rebuild the church in a time of turmoil. “I’ve been praying for a new Francis of Assisi for the church,” Absalon said. “I think my prayers were answered.” Bergoglio has stood out for his austerity. Even after he became Argentina’s top church official in 2001, he never lived in the ornate church
mansion, preferring a simple bed in a downtown building, heated by a small stove on frigid weekends. For years, he took public transportation around the city, cooked his own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring Argentina’s capital. “We are blessed by a lot of intellectuals and theologians, a lot of great minds, but what we need is the simplicity of Francis to inspire us,” Absalon said. Bishop David Malloy of the Rockford Diocese said it was “with great joy and thanksgiving” that a new pope was selected. “[May the] Holy Spirit guide our Holy Father as he takes up the cross of his office and the concerns of the church in the world through his prayer, his action, his charity and in his love for Christ and all of us.” Bergoglio reportedly had finished second in the 2005 conclave that produced Benedict XVI, who last month became the first pope to resign in 600 years.

N. Korea official targets S. Korean leader’s dress SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea’s first public, senior-level mention of South Korea’s first female president ended up being a sexist jab. The body that controls North Korea’s military complained Wednesday about the “venomous swish” of her skirt. But despite that swipe, and a continuing torrent of rhetoric from Pyongyang threatening nuclear war and other mayhem, President Park Geun-hye is sticking by her campaign vow to reach out to North Korea’s young leader, Kim Jong Un, and to send the country much-needed humanitarian aid.
Public frustration with the last five years of North-South relations, which saw North Korean nuclear tests, long-range rocket launches and attacks that left dozens of South Koreans dead, is a big part of the reason Park is trying to build trust with Pyongyang, even as she and South Korea’s military promise to respond forcefully to any possible attack from the North.

one of its few leaders to face justice for the deaths of well more than a million people, died Thursday morning. He was 87. His death came during the course of his trial with two other former Khmer Rouge leaders by a joint Cambodian-international tribunal. Lars Olsen, a spokesman for the tribunal, confirmed his death. Ieng Sary founded the Khmer Rouge with leader Pol Pot, his brother-in-law. The communist regime, which ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, claimed it was building a pure socialist society by evicting people from cities to work in labor camps in the countryside.

‘Huge gift for all of Latin America’ • POPE Continued from page A1 cardinals clearly decided that they didn’t need a vigorous, young pope who would reign for decades but rather a seasoned, popular and humble pastor who would draw followers to the faith and help rebuild a church stained by scandal. The cardinal electors overcame deep divisions about the future of the church to select the 266th pontiff in a remarkably fast, five-ballot conclave. Francis asked for prayers for himself, and for retired Pope Benedict XVI, whose stunning resignation paved the way for the conclave that brought the first Jesuit to the papacy. Francis also spoke by phone with Benedict after his election and plans to see him in the coming days, the Vatican said. “Brothers and sisters, good evening,” Francis said to wild cheers in his first public remarks as pontiff from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. “You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth, but here we are. Thank you for the welcome,” he said. In one of his first acts as pope, Francis early today planned to visit Benedict at the papal retreat in Castel Gandolfo south of Rome. American Cardinal Timothy Dolan said Wednesday night at the North American College, the U.S. seminary in Rome, that Francis told fel-
low cardinals following the conclave that made him pope: “Tomorrow morning, I’m going to visit Benedict.” The visit was significant because Benedict’s resignation has raised concerns about potential power conflicts emerging from the peculiar situation of having a reigning pope and a retired one. No such worries troubled people in Francis’ home continent. Latin Americans burst into tears and jubilation at news that the region, which counts 40 percent of the world’s Catholics, finally had a pope to call its own. “It’s a huge gift for all of Latin America. We waited 20 centuries. It was worth the wait,” said Jose Antonio Cruz, a Franciscan friar at the St. Francis of Assisi church in the colonial Old San Juan district in Puerto Rico. Bergoglio had reportedly finished second in the 2005 conclave that produced Benedict – who last month became the first pope to resign in 600 years. The speed with which he was elected pope this time around indicates that – even though he is 76 and has slowed down from the effects of having a lung removed as a teenager – he still had the trust of cardinals to do the job. After announcing “Habemus Papam” – “We have a pope!” – a cardinal standing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday revealed the identity of the new pontiff, using his Latin name, and announced he would be called Francis. The longtime archbishop
of Buenos Aires is the son of middle-class Italian immigrants and is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church. Catholics still are buzzing over his speech last year accusing fellow church officials of hypocrisy for forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes. In a lifetime of teaching and leading priests in Latin America, which has the largest share of the world’s Catholics, Bergoglio has also shown a keen political sensibility as well as the kind of self-effacing humility that fellow cardinals value highly, according to his official biographer, Sergio Rubin. Cardinal Dolan gave an inside glimpse into the drama of the conclave in his talk at the American seminary. When the tally reached the necessary 77 votes to make Bergoglio pope, Dolan said, the cardinals erupted in applause. And when he accepted the momentous responsibility thrust upon him – “there wasn’t a dry eye in the place,” the American cardinal recounted. After the princes of the church had congratulated the new pope one by one, other Vatican officials wanted to do the same, but Francis preferred to go outside and greet the throngs of faithful. “Maybe we should go to the balcony first,” Dolan recalled the pope as saying.

While in prison, Szalonek to be housed in special unit • SZALONEK Continued from page A1 Brian Szalonek got off the bed but tripped, and when he tried to get up, David Szalonek shot him in the right temple at a range of 1 or 2 feet, Monaco said. David Szalonek then walked to a classmate’s house and told her that he killed his father and that he couldn’t turn himself in, but wanted someone else to do it. The girl told her mother, who then called police. David Szalonek’s brother came home and found their father’s body, Monaco said. David Szalonek had not been attending Jacobs High School, where he was enrolled, following an incident a few weeks before in which he told a girl he would kill himself if she didn’t break up with her boyfriend for him.
During a meeting with school officials, David Szalonek’s mother had told them that a therapist had been found and her son was seeing him weekly. School personnel suggested to the mother that he take some medication, but at the time, she indicated that he couldn’t do that because he had a heart condition that could be made worse by taking it, Monaco said. Szalonek was not taking any medication at the time of the shooting, said his attorney, Brian Telander. Monaco said that the evening before the shooting, Jacobs officials received an anonymous tip citing concerns about Szalonek, who had made statements that “it was all going to end soon” and spoke of suicide. School officials decided to contact Szalonek’s mother, but left a message and didn’t
receive a call back, Monaco said. According to court documents, more than one order of protection previously had been taken out by Szalonek’s mother against the victim. In court documents, she accused her husband of physical abuse and withholding financial assistance to the family. David Szalonek also disclosed alleged sexual abuse by a family member, but charges were never filed. Szalonek was given credit for more than three years already served. With dayfor-day credit as well as other possible programs, such as work release, he could be out of custody in four to six years, Telander said. While in prison, he will be housed in a special unit for inmates with psychological issues and will receive treatment.

Voting in schools not a problem When it comes to voting in Illinois, where the electorate casts its ballots is the least of our worries. Educating voters and getting them to the polls are the real issues. But doing away with voting in schools? That’s a solution waiting for a problem. State Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and Tim Bivins, R-Dixon, are sponsoring a plan that would eliminate using schools For the record as polling places. Franks, Bivins We don’t support a plan and others said that’s unlikely to deter violence safety is the drivand would have such a drastic ing force behind effect on voting in McHenry the plan. County. “I just know in my heart of hearts, that if we continue to allow this, someday we are going to have a version of Sandy Hook,” Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said, referencing the December shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut. While looking out for our children and making schools safer is a worthy cause, the reality is that anybody determined to carry out a violent act at an Illinois school is likely to be motivated enough to do so regardless of whether a school is a polling place or not. While such a plan might not present a problem in some counties – Whiteside and Lee counties, for example, already have no schools serving as polling places – eliminating schools from the list of places where people can vote would be a big issue in McHenry County. “If we don’t have schools, we won’t have polling places,” McHenry County Clerk Kathie Schultz said. “We’re already using fire stations and police stations, but many don’t have the room to host a polling place.” Schultz estimated in an Illinois Watchdog story that “about a quarter” of McHenry County’s 212 polling places are inside schools. She also pointed out that if polling places are moved out of schools to other public buildings where parking is an issue, then the federal government could get involved. “I’m sure if we had issues with long wait times or access, then the feds would act,” Schultz said. Making schools safer should be an ongoing conversation, but we don’t support a plan that’s unlikely to deter violence and would have such a drastic effect on voting in McHenry County.

Hoping home-buying program a smart move January home sales in Illinois were up 31 percent compared with January 2012. While this is good news for an ailing economy, there still are many who struggle to grab that American dream – a home of their own. Gov. Pat Quinn announced a program last week that could benefit hundreds who need financial help covering down payments and closing costs. The program is called SmartMove Trio. It is managed by the Illinois Housing Development Authority, a self-supporting state agency that finances the creation and preservation of affordable housing across Illinois. SmartMove Trio offers first-time buyers who meet certain requirements an affordable 30year fixed-rate mortgage, up to $6,000 cash for down payment and closing costs and a federal income tax credit worth up to $18,000 over the life of the loan. A first-time buyer is defined as anyone who hasn’t owned a primary residence in the past three years. You do not have to be a first-time buyer if you are a military veteran or you want to buy a home in a targeted area of the state. The program also offers an optional mortgage credit certificate to reduce federal income taxes. This allows 20 percent of the annual mortgage interest as a direct federal tax credit. The remaining mortgage interest still can be used as an itemized tax deduction. “A home is the foundation on which we build our families and our communities,” Quinn said when announcing this new effort. “By encouraging home ownership, we can create jobs and grow our economy. We’re working hard to keep the Illinois housing market on the road to recovery by doing everything we can to help Illinois families buy or stay in their homes.” Helping our economy grow is a good thing, especially the housing market. But even better will be putting families into a house they can call their home. The (Ottawa) Times

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Support St. Baldrick’s event To the Editor: It is that time of the year again when the Crystal Lake Kiwanis Club rallies its troops and asks for you to assist us in raising money to find a cure for pediatric cancer. We have done well in raising thousands of dollars in the past three years to find a cure. (Our dedicated McHenry neighbors to the north have really excelled with both high schools and the town combining efforts to raise the much-needed funds. Hats off to them.) In Crystal Lake, the Crystal Lake South Key Club is participating again with its students as well. We are hosting a Shavathon from 3-6 p.m. Friday at McHenry County College in the Michael Luecht Amphitheater. During the event, we line up volunteer licensed barbers to shave the heads of those valiant enough to raise money for this cause. Please spread the word and check out our website out: www. kiwaniscrystallake.com. It is easy to sign up and ask your friends to donate; after all, your hair will grow back. Thanks again, by the way, to all of the volunteers and participants of the super successful Santa Run last December. We are planning for the second annual run already and welcome all who want to a part of it. The Kiwanis meet the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at noon for lunch at the Crystal Lake Country Club. See you there. Mike Splitt Crystal Lake
Curious campaign signs To the Editor: I find it interesting that Steve Cuda’s campaign signs say to “reelect” him. While I guess it’s true that he was once the mayor of McHenry, he hasn’t been in office since 2001. This looks like a deliberate attempt to dupe people into thinking he is the incumbent. Pam Althoff and Sue Low have been elected mayor since he left office. Mr. Cuda, we know who our mayor is, and I, for one, will be voting to re-elect our real mayor, Sue Low, on April 9. Rusty DeBuck McHenry
Low the choice in McHenry To the Editor: Sue Low is McHenry’s mayor. She loves McHenry and has been working tirelessly for the past 30 years to help the betterment of her hometown.
I could go on about the awards and accolades she has received, but that is not who she is. She is constantly trying to meet new people and organizations to see if all of the organizations in town can work together because she is all about having McHenry be a better place to live, work and play. Sue absolutely works full time, going to schools, veterans organizations, service clubs, and retirement facilities, along with other taxing bodies and municipalities, to ensure that all will benefit from each other. I know she has been a great mayor for the past 10 years and also know she will be the only choice for mayor for the next four years. Tom Low McHenry
Re-elect Adamson Jr. To the Editor: We soon will have the opportunity to cast our votes for the position of Marengo Township highway commissioner. I would ask that you give your consideration to John Adamson Jr., who has done an outstanding job of maintaining our roads as well as performing his statutory duties as required by law. John has been on the leading edge, bringing recycling programs to his constituents, as well as maintaining a positive fiscal position while seeing that maintenance and equipment considerations haven’t suffered. One only needs to drive the roads of Marengo Township as compared with surrounding townships to see the exemplary care our infrastructure has had during his tenure. Experience, education in his duties and dedication to the people of Marengo Township are qualities that are hard to replace. Please join me in re-electing John Adamson Jr. as Marengo Township highway commissioner. Jeff Kimmel Marengo

Flying in style To the Editor: Is there a difference between Illinois’ elected officials and Wisconsin’s? Recently, I was transferring planes in Phoenix when I observed a lady sitting by herself reading a book in our Southwest Airlines waiting area. I thought she looked familiar, but no, I thought, she would not be in our waiting area. Getting on the plane, we were told to take any seat due to the flight being 100 percent full. I sat between a gentleman and the lady. After an exchange of pleasentries with my fellow travelers, I found out my seatmate was Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch of Wisconsin traveling like the rest of us on friendly, economical, one-class, cramped Southwest Airlines. Familiar with politicians in Illinois, I looked around for her entourage and found none. Looking at public records, one finds that Illinois has the largest fleet of state aircraft in the Union to fly our public officials around in private, regal style while “serving” the people. This is paid for by all citizens, even the one-third of Illinois citizens officially cast as below the poverty level. We are paying over $1 million per year to maintain this legislative fleet. Illinois has unpaid bills of $22 billion and rising. Wisconsin has a projected surplus of $360 mil-

Hebron Township candidate presents his platform To the Editor: My name is Paul “P.J.” Musgrave Jr. I am seeking your support because I’m running for the office of Hebron Township supervisor. I believe in honesty, saying that I never thought much of politics. However, being concerned with the new township building and some of the personnel changes, I decided to get involved. Some of the issues I see at hand are the lack of information readily available at the meetings, clear understanding on how the budget is from projected to actual and a few other issues. I would assume that there are many more residents that are not happy as well. I would like Hebron Township to have a more transparent government, clear execution of policies, cut wasteful spending, provide up-to-date budget information, and have a balanced budget/ audit. It’s your choice. Vote on April 9. Paul “P.J.” Musgrave Jr. Hebron Township
Commenting with civility To the Editor: “By its practice of civility, a society reflects the value it places on the human person and, perhaps, even on human life itself,” said the Rev. Dennis Dease, president of the University of St. Thomas (Minn.). I recently came across this quote in the St. Thomas alumni magazine. I think it is a wonderful sentiment, and one that more readers, including myself, should keep in mind when submitting letters to the editor and commenting on such letters on the Northwest Herald website.

Four candidates share views They’re vying for three seats on Algonquin Village Board in April election By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Three current trustees and one newcomer shared their views on the village as they compete for the three board seats up for grabs. Trustees Robert Smith, Jerry Glogowski and Brian Dianis and challenger Richard Flynn spoke at an Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce candidate forum.
The four men are running for the three seats on the village board in the April 9 election. Flynn helped work with the village when it was planning road reconstruction work in the Indian Grove subdivision. He said he wants to make the board meetings more of an open forum for residents. Flynn said he felt Glogowski is the “lone wolf” when it comes to relaying resident

pretty quick,” Flynn said. He said he would want to eliminate the utility tax in the village. Flynn added he wants to make incentives available for businesses to entice them to come to town. “We have a big opportunity with the downtown area,” Flynn said. “We need to really work with developers to drive business in.” He added that the red-light cameras in town should be re-
ENDANGERMENT CHARGE FOR MOM
By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com VOLO – Connecting the village of Volo to Lake Michigan water will raise property taxes and water bills for residents. Under the plan, the villages of Wauconda and Volo would hook into the Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency and build a shared pipeline most of the way and then sections to each of the villages. Currently, the village gets its water from a deep aquifer, but the draw on the reservoir is more than what experts estimate is sustainable. If the village continues to grow as expected, it would mean a 400 percent increase in Volo’s water demand by 2040, Peter Stoehr, a village engineer for Manhard Consulting, told a group of residents at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting. Also, the water contains radium and barium, which has to be removed to meet safety regulations. About three times a week, the backwash containing the

FIRE BREAKS OUT IN CL GARAGE CRYSTAL LAKE – Fire crews were able to keep a fire contained to a garage Wednesday night. About 9:30 p.m. firefighters were called to 146 South St. in Crystal Lake for the fire. Edgar Castillo rents the home and said he was upstairs drinking coffee when he saw the fire, gathered the nine other people home at the time and the family dog, and ran outside. Neighbors called 911 and gave the family blankets, he said. Castillo said he has renter’s insurance. Several neighbors who gathered to watch the incident said they heard a loud boom, but Castillo didn’t hear a noise. He was unsure how the fire started. The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department remained on the scene at 10:30 p.m.

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock woman has been charged with child endangerment after police said she failed to provide her three children with hot water or a working toilet. Jennifer L. Frogge, 31, of 13620 Kishwaukee Valley Road, was arrested Wednesday on three counts of endangering the life or health of a child, each a Class A misdemeanor. The charges follow a twomonth investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The sheriff’s office had been contacted by a family member in regard to Frogge’s children and the condition of her home, according to a news release. “When members of the Criminal Investigation Division inspected Jennifer’s home with her consent, the Woodstock Fire Protection District was called and the home was ‘red tagged,’ meaning that areas of the house were uninhabitable,” Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said. The children have been placed with their father, who did not live in the home.
moved and only serve as revenue generators for the village. The three trustees said the red-light cameras are important for safety reasons and have helped reduce accidents at the intersections where they are located. However, Smith and Dianis said the board wants to work with the police department to reduce fines for right-turn-on-red violations, if they’re not a safety issue.
ALGONQUIN – Kando Bakery has developed a successful formula for a startup company by providing a quality product that’s tied to a good cause.

ISLAND LAKE – Electoral uncertainty reigns in Island Lake as the political saga involving the race for village board president drags on, with weeks left before the April 9 election. Earlier this week, a Lake County Circuit Court judge reversed a ruling from the Island Lake electoral board that knocked village president candidate Charles Amrich off the ballot. Amrich served as village president from 1985 to 2005 and is seeking the office again in the upcoming election. In Tuesday’s judicial review, Judge Christopher Starck declared Amrich eligible to run. Furthermore, the McHenry County and Lake County Clerk offices were ordered to allow his name on the ballot. But an appeal to keep Amrich out of the race already is under way. “We hope to get it filed by Friday, but certainly by Monday,” said Anish Parikh, an attorney who represents Daniel Field and Louis Sharp, two residents who initiated the electoral board hearing process in January. The legal feud began when Field and Sharp filed objections against Amrich’s candidacy. In their filing, Field and Sharp said Amrich was

ineligible to run for office because of an overdue $174 garbage bill. Amrich paid the bill after he signed his statement of candidacy form, but before he filed his nominating papers in December. Amrich’s attorney argued that as long as the bill was paid by the time nominating papers were filed, Amrich met the requirements to be qualified. Electoral board Chairwoman Shannon Fox and board member Thea Morris voted to disqualify Amrich. Board member Laura Rabattini cast the lone vote in support of Amrich. All three board members also are village trustees. Field and Sharp’s appeal will seek an “expedited cycle,” even though the timeframe technically allows 30 days, Parikh said. “We want to act diligently and request the appellate court to enter an expedited briefing schedule,” he said. “The purpose is to get a decision prior to the [April 9] election.”

Lake Police Department will be cracking down on drunken drivers and seat-belt violators during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The stepped-up enforcement will begin today and run through St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. Enforcement efforts will concentrate on the hours between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. The Crystal Lake Police Department recommends designating a sober driver ahead of time and not letting friends and family drive drunk as just two simple steps to avoid a crash or a drunken driving arrest. Other important tips include: • If you are drunk, call a taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely. • Promptly report drunken drivers you see on the roadways to law enforcement. • Wear your seat belt and make sure all passengers are buckled up. It is your best defense against a drunken driver. The law enforcement crackdown is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation with funds made available via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Woodstock business fails tobacco check WOODSTOCK – On Tuesday, tobacco retailers were inspected for the first of three planned rounds of compliance checks to be conducted this year in Woodstock. A total of 26 tobacco retailers were inspected, and one sold tobacco to a minor. That establishment was Citgo Gas, 830 Lake Ave., according to a news release from the Woodstock Police Department. The employee who sold the tobacco product to the minor was issued a city citation and must appear April 11 at an administrative hearing at City Hall. Compliance checks are performed by the Woodstock Police Department with assistance from the McHenry County Health Department. With the help from a grant awarded by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission’s “Kids Can’t Buy ’Em Here” Tobacco Enforcement Program, the city educates local tobacco retailers on minimum-age tobacco laws.

Clerk offices expected to add Amrich to ballot • APPEAL
Continued from page B1 Island Lake, a town of 8,000 residents, straddles McHenry and Lake counties. For now, both county clerk offices are expected to print Amrich’s name on the ballots in accordance with Tuesday’s circuit court order. “Normally these things are all firmed up at this time,” McHenry County Clerk Katherine Schultz said. “Plus we had just finished [wrapping up] the February election.”
“My problem is solved at the moment,” Lake County Clerk Willard Helander said. Amrich leads the “For The People” slate, which includes clerk candidate Teresa Ponio and trustee candidates Mark Beeson, Anthoney Sciarrone and Keith Johns. The competing slate, “United for Progress,” is led by incumbent Debbie Herrmann, who is seeking re-election as village president. Incumbent Connie Mascillino, who is seeking re-election as village clerk, and trustee candidates Josh Rohde, Ken Nitz and Ed McGinty round out the slate.

Kando would give parents a better option than keeping their children home all day or waiting for transitional housing. Kando Bakery also donates 5 percent of its sales to different McHenry County charities, including the Northern Illinois Center for Autism and the Alexander Lee Center for Autism in Crystal Lake. For Kando to become the work program Peterson wants it to be, the granola bars will need to keep selling, something she truly believes can happen. “It has to work,” Peterson said, fighting back tears. “We can’t fail.” To learn about Kando Bakery, visit www.kandobakery. com.

said. “Our ultimate vision is to have the bakery, an outdoor organic farm space, a storefront, and also offer some community living options and respite care for parents to utilize overnight,” Peterson said. “The possibilities really are endless,” Nulle said. A fully functional space for developmentally disabled adults to work is something McHenry County desperately needs, Peterson said. Illinois ranks last in the country in funding for people with developmental disabilities, according to Clearbrook, which provides services for developmentally disabled children and adults in Illinois. “I’m tired of waiting for the state,” said Peterson, who has a 21-year-old son with intellectual disabilities. “I’ll be long gone before the state steps up and does what’s right. These are citizens that
Pain is caused by traumatized nerves sending frantic signals to the brain. The best way to bring relief to those nerves is through chiropractic treatment, which restores proper motion to the spine and the entire nervous system.
Medical Treatment: We have developed a medical protocol designed to work with chiropractic treatment in order to help our patients get the best results. We have found holistic approaches to be effective and many of our patients are looking for alternatives to prescription medications.
Nutritional Programs: We have had great success in helping patients reduce
their risk for chronic health problems through nutritional assessments. These assessments reveal any food sensitivities and also help with identifying the right digestive system detoxification program needed.
Conditions The Superior Health & Wellness team treats a variety of conditions, including:
Back & Neck Pain: Back pain and neck pain can be caused by various problems, including disc problems, arthritis, sciatica, and failed back surgery. Our non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help correct these spinal issues, relieving the patient’s pain.
Fibromyalgia: Long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness are the most common symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Other symptoms can include fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, depression and anxiety. Superior Health & Wellness’s multi-dimensional approach to treating Fibromyalgia can bring patients relief from their symptoms.
Neuropathy: Damage to the nerves in the arms and legs can lead to peripheral neuropathy. Symptoms include a pins and needles feeling, numbness in the hands or feet, tingling or burning sensations, or a weakness in the arms or legs. Our breakthrough, drugless solution for neuropathy sufferers is proven to help heal the damaged nerves, reducing or eliminating their symptoms.

What: The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce has scheduled a forum for all the candidates running for the Lake in the Hills Village Board. The moderator will take written questions from the audience and direct them to each candidate. Three trustee seats and the village president position are up for grabs. For information, call 847-658-5300. When: 7 p.m. Wednesday Where: 2114 W. Algonquin Road in Lake in the Hills. more efficiently. He also said the village is pushing for Longmeadow Parkway to help with traffic capacity. Smith pointed out that the village has been able to lower its tax levy in recent years. “We run very efficient, we find ways to get by with what we have,” Smith said. “We never cut back in the quality
of service to the residents.” When asked about senior activities in the village, Dianis said the parks and recreation department should identify the needs of seniors to see if programs can be started that would be self-sufficient. “We need to make sure there’s enough interest in programs,” Dianis said. “We might subsidize those programs as well, but it has to be cost effective.” Dianis said the village needs to keep a close watch on state funding, in case it gets cut. “Should we not get those monies, we will have to look at ways of reducing those expenses that we have to maintain a balanced budget,” Dianis said. “We typically do things like [pushing back] capital purchases to later in the budget year, so if we have to make adjustments, we can always delay.”
Tax for property owners to offset debt • WATER Continued from page B1 contaminants is trucked out of the village to be disposed of. “Obviously, this method that we’re currently using is unsustainable,” Stoehr said. To build the pipeline, the village would take out an estimated $9.7 million general obligation bond, which would be paid for by increasing property taxes by about $140 a year for the owner of a $200,000 property for likely 30 years. Taxpayers wouldn’t see the increase until they get their tax bill for 2015 or 2016, either after construction starts or finishes, Stoehr said. Property owners also would have to pay a tax to pay off a joint water agency debt. That increase wouldn’t take effect until water starts flowing and would expire in 2018. This increase would cost the owner of a $200,000 proper-
ty $30 a year. Businesses and residents also would see an increase on their water bills. The rate would increase to $7 for every 1,000 gallons of water from $5.50 for every 1,000 gallons of water. The village currently has a minimum of 5,000 gallons a month, which means a minimum increase of $15 every bimonthly billing cycle. The rate increase would be phased in with 50-cent increases each year starting next year. A 50-cent increase was already planned for this year independent of the Lake Michigan water project. In all, the owner of a $200,000 house would pay a minimum of $273.18 extra a year starting in 2016. The estimates are a worstcase scenario, Village Attorney Nancy Harbottle said. Trustee Bruce Buschick added that the board hopes to use economic development to pay off the bond sooner.
Unlike at an earlier meeting where residents expressed fears that they wouldn’t be able to afford the increase, residents seemed generally matter-of-fact Tuesday evening. One resident said he was in favor of the switch but thought that putting more of the cost on property owners with higher-valued properties was unfair. A gallon of water should cost the same for everyone, he said. Another resident, Lee Nejberger, also wanted to know whether the village expects any other projects in the next couple of years. Sewers will have to be installed in the historic section of town, along Volo Village Road, in the next 10 years, Harbottle said. The board tries to put aside money each year to fund most capital improvements, Buschick said, so that the board doesn’t have to take out a bond.

“For 40-Years, I was tortured with unbearable indigestion”
Confessions of an acid reflux victim “And How I BEAT the indigestion Nightmare that Almost Killed Me!” By Ralph Burns; “Former” acid reflux sufferer Here’s My Story: I've Suffered With Acid Reflux for Almost 40 Years Now. Unless you experience it; you can’t imagine how horrible it is. Every time I ate spicy foods I would get what I called "ROT GUT". Like something was rotting in my stomach. But now I can eat anything... No matter how spicy. Even if I never could before. Let me explain… For the better part of my life; I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I’d experience a burning sensation through my esophagus— like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that, those disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I was in "indigestion hell".
"I was beside myself. What was I gonna do? Keep taking the pills, or suffer with problems that could ultimately be my demise”. Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. Sometimes, I felt like I was dying. The pain was unbearable and nothing could make it stop.

But then my wife, who occasionally suffered with the same problem; gave me one of her prescription acid blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I could live again. Because before that, I was just miserable. I wanted to kill myself. But thankfully, it worked, and worked well. I felt great, until about one year ago; when I read an FDA warning that scared the heck out of me. It went something like this… FDA WARNING! Using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long term basis, increases your risk of hip, bone and spinal fractures. That's a particular concern to me, since many acid blockers are PPI's. I've gone through two back surgeries and bilateral hip replacements. I had to ask myself, could PPI's have been responsible for my medical woes? After all...
“The Recommended Treatment for Prilosec®, Prevacid® and Other PPI's is Only 14-DAYS,
I Took Them for 14 YEARS!” I was “between a rock and a hard place”. Stop using the PPIs and I'm a “dead man in the water”. It would be unbearable. I wouldn't be able to eat anything. I’d have to go on a water diet. But that FDA warning was scary. I knew I had to stop or else risk developing spinal stenosis. My mother had that. And I watched her die a horrible death. Her spine just fractured. It was the worst death. She didn't deserve that. And neither do I. I had to quit. So I stopped taking PPI's for a day or so. But my indigestion
63-year old Ralph Burns enjoying a spicy-hot portion of Lobster Fra Diavolo. ® Just 15-Minutes after taking AloeCure
“Every time I ate something that didn't agree with me… I’d get what I called ‘Rot Gut’ — like my stomach was rotting out!” was worse than ever. I would rather take the chance of a spinal fracture than to live like that again. I tried everything. Even started using home remedies like Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt like I was pouring even more acid down my throat. Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine said "why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said "aloe drink"? Jeez. That doesn't sound good at all!” The next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure®. I was skeptical, but I was desperate! So instead of being an ingrate I decided to try it. I was shocked! AloeCure®. Tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape flavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPI's altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. Then something remarkable happened… NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. And here’s the best part. The next day we had Italian food — my worst enemy. But for the first time in 40 years I didn't get indigestion without relying on prescription or OTC pills and tablets. Finally, I just didn’t need them anymore! I was so thrilled; I wrote the AloeCure® company to tell them how amazing their product is. They thanked me, and asked me to tell my story... The story that changed my life. I said “Sure, but only if you send me a hefty supply of AloeCure®. I just can't live without it." But don't believe me. You have to try this stuff for yourself. I recommend AloeCure® to anyone who suffers with the same problem I did. It gives you immediate relief. You'll be grateful you did. I sure am.

After moving to McHenry County, she embraced her love of nature by volunteering at the Volo Bog, where she wrote articles and did layout work for their newsletter. She loved all aspects of nature, and was “green” before it was popular. She also dedicated herself to the preservation and restoration of Slocum Lake.

NORTHWEST HERALD GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Tigers, Mosher 4-peat By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – The concept of indoor track and field is to provide solid training, along with some competition, to prepare athletes for the outdoor season, which is taken much more seriously. Yet in Crystal Lake Central’s case, the Fox Valley Conference Indoor Track and Field Meet, hosted by DundeeCrown, means a little more than it does to other teams. “We’ve won this three years in a row and we wanted a four-peat,” senior Isaiah Mosher said. “We wanted to continue our dominant tradition.” Mosher took part in three victories – the 55 meters, long jump and 4x400 relay – and the Tigers finished with 103½ points, 17 ahead of second-place Huntley on Wednesday at the D-C Fieldhouse. “You’re trying to win it, but you don’t want to get anyone injured,” Central coach Brian Seaver said. “Our kids take a lot of pride in winning it. They think we’re the best and we should win.” Mosher set an indoor school record with his 21-3 effort in the long jump. He saluted the effort of Tyler Thomas anchoring the winning 4x400 relay to finish the meet. “Tyler got shoved down in the open 400 and it irritated his bad ankle,” Mosher said. “I put that win on him.” Seaver also mentioned Nick Amato, who ran a 2:01 split with the winning 4x800 team and also took second in the 800 and fifth in pole vault. Prairie Ridge’s Joe Cowlin, who recently committed to Illinois, won the 3,200 and 1,600 races for 20 of the Wolves’ 26 points. “That was my goal all week, to win them both,” Cowlin said. “I just let the races play out tactically and then went for the win in both of them.” McHenry’s Nate Richartz won the pole vault at 14-0, but has had limited workouts between playing hockey and his school not having a place to practice vaulting indoors.

Huntley’s forward Sam Andrews – the Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Player of the Year – helped lead the Red Raiders to a fourth-place finish in Class 4A, the best season in school history. Andrews, who averaged 15.7 points a game, scored in double figures in 31 of Huntley’s 34 games and led the Red Raiders in scoring during their regional final, sectional final and supersectional wins.

S
am Andrews saw her opportunity as she scanned Wheaton Warrenville South’s defense. The Huntley junior forward watched Wheaton Warrenville South settle into a 2-3 zone defense and searched for an open spot along the perimeter. It was the perfect matchup for a player with Andrews’ skill set, a versatile forward capable of knocking down 3-pointers. Except that night, in a Class 4A supersectional with a spot in the state semifinals at stake, Andrews’ first two 3-point attempts clanked off the rim. The misses didn’t faze Andrews. She kept firing and made four 3-pointers through the first three quarters, and her 17th free throw – with 11 seconds remaining – sealed the Red Raiders’ win. It was the type of performance the Red Raiders had come to expect from Andrews. When it mattered most, Andrews came through for Huntley.
“The first shots [in the supersectional] I don’t remember, but I know they didn’t go in,” Andrews said with a laugh. “They were probably bad shots or rushed. But the next shots I took, it’s just confidence from practice. Yeah, I missed the first ones, but I have the confidence to keep shooting because I have the practice to back me up.” Andrews, who averaged 15.7 points a game, scored in double figures in 31 of Huntley’s 34 games and led the Red Raiders in scoring during their regional final, sectional final and supersectional wins. For her performance this season and leading the Red Raiders to a program-best fourth-place finish in Class 4A, Andrews is the Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Player of the Year. “You know what you’re going to get out of her game in and game out,” Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. “What she did in that Wheaton Warrenville South game, with stepping up and hitting some
huge 3s in really key moments in order to maintain or extend leads, was a really big thing for us. But an all-around great season for her.” Andrews’ consistency didn’t develop overnight. During the offseason, Andrews spent at least 1½ to 2 hours every day, whether it was on the driveway at her family’s home in Lake in the Hills or the Health Bridge Fitness Center 10 minutes from the high school, working on her shot – on top of the weekly travel practices and speed and agility workouts. That dedication led to her more than doubling the 24 3-pointers she made her sophomore year as she finished with 52 3-pointers, second-most in the area. Andrews, who averaged 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists a game, is more than just a great outside shooter. She has developed a knack for getting to the basket, using her 6-foot frame to battle in the paint and get to the free-throw line.

HEAT
Heat streak at 20 after win over 76ers Miami 4th team to win at least 20 straight games By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – LeBron James missed once, then again, whiffing on two easy looks at the rim that could have left Miami shaken. Like a good teammate, Dwyane Wade swooped in for the saving tip, preserving the lead and keeping the Heat’s amazing win streak rolling. James scored 27 points and the
Heat became the fourth team to win at least 20 consecutive games in a season, beating the Philadelphia 76ers, 98-94, on Wednesday night. Against a struggling Sixers team that was revved up like a playoff game, the Heat just found a way to win. And when it was done, they took the time to admire their mark. “Twenty is special,” Wade said. “Win 20 games in a row, it’s awesome. You can’t get around it. We’re going to try to go for the next one.” Wade scored 21 as the Heat needed big baskets over the final 2 minutes to top the Sixers for the milestone win. He stuck with the
ball on James’ misses and scored the clutch tip that made it a threepoint lead with 29 seconds left and squashed the Sixers’ upset bid. “It shows you he, like many of our guys, are just willing to make winning plays at the end,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. 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 1947-48 season and the start of the 1948-49 campaign. James and the Heat have started to acknowledge just how special this winning streak is in a season
that has them running away with the Eastern Conference. They opened a five-game road trip as 8½-point favorites over the slumping Sixers, a team they’ve defeated three times during the streak. They beat Atlanta on Tuesday for streak’s win No. 19, then made the flight to Philadelphia that put them in just before dawn. “You get sleep when you can and do your job,” center Chris Bosh said. Maybe fatigue played a bit of a role in Miami’s inability to truly put away the Sixers. Led by Thaddeus Young, the Sixers opened AP photo the third quarter on a 16-8 run that helped slice the lead to four.

Kings crush Bulls
Russell out as coach By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com
The ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Tyreke Evans had 26 points and seven assists in the Sacramento Kings’ most lopsided victory of the season, a 121-79 rout of the Bulls on Wednesday night. The Kings opened the second quarter with a 26-4 run against the lethargic Bulls to hike their lead to 34 points. It was an almost error-free first half for the Kings, who committed Next only one turnover and took a at Golden 65-36 lead into State, 9:30 intermission. p.m. Friday, The Kings WGN, shot 54 percent AM-1000 and tied a season low with five turnovers. Making his first start of the season, Patrick Patterson had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Jason Thompson had 12 points for the Kings, who snapped a five-game losing streak against the Bulls. Carlos Boozer scored 21 points and Nate Robinson had 19 for the slumping Bulls, who lost their second straight and fourth in five games. The Bulls have dropped a season-high five straight road games and have a 7-12 record since beating Milwaukee on Jan. 30. The Bulls shot 38 percent, missed 19 of 21 3-point attempts, and committed 17 turnovers. The short-handed Bulls played without injured forward Taj Gibson (knee) and veteran guards Richard Hamilton (back) and Kirk Hinrich (foot), who all are out indefinitely. At least for one game, it mattered little that Sacramento played without DeMarcus Cousins, the Kings’ leading scorer and rebounder. He missed the game because of a sore left knee. Cousins picked up his 12th technical foul of the season and was ejected from Sunday’s game against Milwaukee after picking up a Flagrant 2 for elbowing Mike Dunleavy in the head.

BIG TEN MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
Deep field could mean big thrills By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Indiana is standing tall again. Michigan and Michigan State are right there with the Hoosiers, and Ohio State and Wisconsin aren’t exactly backing down from anyone, either. The Big Ten tournament starts today, and it’s not hard to see why Spartans coach Tom Izzo declared it one of the best ever. And by best ever, he didn’t just mean best Big Ten tournament. “We’re looking forward to one of the great conference tournaments of all time, if you ask me,” Izzo said. “When you look at the ranked teams and the teams that aren’t ranked and everyone else, it should be a heck of a Big Ten tournament in Chicago.” The league is tops in the Sagarin ratings and boasts five teams ranked in the Top 25, including four in the top 10. One of those top 10 teams – No. 6 Michigan – didn’t even get one of the four first-round byes. Instead, the Wolverines face Penn State today after falling a point short of sharing the conference championship with a 72-71 loss to Indiana on Sunday. They need to regroup and figure out a way to get past the Nittany Lions, a team that rallied from 15 down in the second half to beat Michigan a few weeks ago. Besides Penn State, Michigan might also need to get by Wisconsin and Indiana to reach the Big Ten tournament title game. Those three teams have combined to hand the Wolverines (25-6) four of their six losses, and No. 22 Wisconsin (21-10) is lurking in the second round Friday after taking the fourth seed. No. 3 Indiana (26-5), the top seed after winning its first outright conference champi-

No. 10 Ohio State (23-7), the second seed, gets Purdue or Nebraska, while eighth-ranked and third-seeded Michigan State (24-7) awaits Iowa or Northwestern. “Michigan’s playing for a share for a title. Unfortunately, they slide out. Now, they have to play on the first day. It just shows you how deep this league is, how good this league is,” Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. “The top four teams get that bye, which is critical, and I know Michigan wanted that. But it’s pretty amazing how tough this conference has been.” Standing at the top right now is Indiana after a long climb, and winning the conference tournament would be another notch for a program knocked to the ground not too long ago. It’s something the Hoosiers haven’t done since the Big Ten started holding a tourney in 1998.
“You just told me something that I didn’t know,” coach Tom Crean said. “That’s how little concerned we are about the negatives, what hasn’t happened. It’s really not anything we’ll reflect on.” He did, however, reflect on how far Indiana has come since he took over in 2008. That’s something he’s not shy about doing. Indiana endured crippling NCAA sanctions in the wake of the phone call scandal involving his predecessor Kelvin Sampson and struggled to get back to the top. The Hoosiers won only six games his first season, but they made a big jump a year ago, orchestrating a turnaround that matched the biggest in Big Ten history on their way to a 27-9 record and a trip to the Sweet 16. With star Cody Zeller leading the way, they were ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll and spent a good chunk of the season there. When they rallied from five down in the final minute to beat Michigan on Sunday, it was just another big step for a program that had picked itself up and dusted itself off. Now, the Hoosiers again are staring at some major obstacles, and as they prepared to take that next step, Crean couldn’t help but take a look back. He mentioned the “players that helped get this back” and the support for the team. “We had hundreds of people waiting at the gym [Sunday] night when we got in,” he said. “We had probably 100 to 150 people waiting at the airport when we got there on a Sunday night in the rain. That’s what it’s about. It really is. The thing to me is we’ve always said there’s no way this program could have endured what it did without the support – not just the support but the passion, the legitimate passion that our fans have had.”
Michelle Russell was informed Tuesday morning that she no longer will be the girls basketball coach at Dundee-Crown, the school from which she graduated in 1991. Russell was 32-103 in five seasons at D-C after taking over for retiring Joe Komaromy, who had coached her with the Chargers. Russell was the 2012 Northwest Herald Coach of the Year after leading D-C to a 15-11 record. The Chargers were 9-18 in 2011. D-C athletic director Dick Storm and principal Lynn McCarthy informed Russell she would not be rehired. “I was extremely surprised and shocked,” Russell said. “It was like a blindside, out of nowhere. You would
think, maybe, if your job was on the line someone would give you a heads up and let you know what you needed to do.” D-C fell to 4-24 this season after being hit hard by graduation. The Chargers played two freshmen, two sophomores and three juniors a lot during the season. “We had a really good season [in 2012] and lost some very talented seniors,” Russell said. “I was proud of our efforts this year, we had a lot of young girls.” Russell teaches fifth grade at Westfield Community School in Algonquin. She is not sure if she will get back into coaching. “I haven’t thought that far ahead,” she said. “I like coaching where I grew up. That was the fun of it for me to coach at my school and give back.”
SPRING TRAINING ROUNDUP
Cubs’ Castro returns from hamstring injury By JOSE M. ROMERO The Associated Press MESA, Ariz. – After two weeks out with a hamstring injury, Starlin Castro was happy to be back on the field. Even if it was only for three innings. Sidelined since Feb. 27, the All-Star got a single and walked Wednesday in the Cubs’ 2-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Castro, who hurt his left leg in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, walked against Jorge De La Rosa leading off the first, singled in the third and came out after the inning. Playing his usual shortstop position, Castro just missed throwing out leadoff batter Eric Young on a grounder leading off the game. Josh Rutledge followed with a grounder to second baseman Darwin Barney, who threw to second, and Castro’s throw to first just missed getting a double play. Troy Tulowitzki followed with an RBI double. Castro had three assists in the second, when Jordan
Pacheco, Nolan Arenado and Ramon Hernandez all grounded to shortstop. “I want to keep playing because I’m feeling good,” Castro said. “I can move pretty good. When I took ground balls earlier in [batting practice], the coaches kept a close eye on my backhand and I felt pretty good when I moved quick.” Indians 5, White Sox 2: At Glendale, Ariz., while the Sox avoid using their starting pitchers against AL Central opponents, the Indians figure they’ve seen their rivals so often a few spring training games won’t hurt. So at the same time Jake Peavy was throwing 81 pitches on a back field against minor leaguers, Ubaldo Jimenez worked five solid innings against the Sox in a 5-2 victory Wednesday. After stringing together four hits in the second, including an RBI ground-rule double to center by Gordon Beckham and a run-scoring single by Dewayne Wise, the Sox were held to two hits in the final six innings against Jimenez and four Indians relievers.
Hurley almost tops PR • INDOOR TRACK Continued from page C1 “Honestly, I was a little disappointed, I wanted to get that next height (14-6), but I haven’t had as much of a chance to practice, so it’s not so bad,” said Richartz, who took sixth in Class 3A state last year. “I’m looking to get up to at least 16-0 this year.” Richartz recently committed to Notre Dame, although he will be a walk-on. He said most of the scholarship money was aimed at sprinters and as a one-event competitor, he will not receive athletic money, at least to start his career. He did make an official visit and attended a football game with the coaches in the fall. Cary-Grove sophomore
Ricky Hurley almost had his longest career throw – 55-5 – on his final attempt, but he lost his balance and stepped out of the ring at the last moment. He smiled, knowing he had unleashed a big throw. “That would have been my farthest throw ever,” Hurley said. “I pushed off my right foot and went forward, I didn’t push up my chest enough. So I know I can fix it next time.” Hurley spent the summer and fall lifting weights to get stronger and did some throwing with C-G’s double state champion Josh Freeman before Freeman left for college at Southern Illinois University. “I had my sights set on 50, then on 55,” Hurley said. “Now, I know I can get to 55, so I’ll move it to 60.”

NORTHWEST HERALD GIRLS BASKETBALL ALL-AREA TEAM FIRST TEAM SAM ANDREWS Huntley, jr., forward As defenses quickly discovered, there was no one way to stop Andrews. Her ability to stretch the floor by hitting 52 3-pointers and the ability to attack the basket and get to the free-throw line, where she shot an area-best 81.8 percent, made her invaluable to Huntley. Andrews, the Northwest Herald Player of the Year, averaged 15.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals a game to guide Huntley to its first state appearance and a school-best fourth-place finish in Class 4A. OLIVIA JAKUBICEK Cary-Grove, sr., forward Jakubicek did it all for the Trojans.

the area and she was one of the best free-throw shooters, making 74.8 percent. Jakubicek finished her career as C-G’s second all-time leading scorer with 1,349 points as well as the leading rebounder with 832 rebounds. ALI ANDREWS Huntley, fr., forward Andrews rarely played like a freshman and was a large part of Huntley’s success and postseason run to state. The 6-foot-2 forward was difficult to stop in the paint, and she wasn’t afraid to shoot outside the lane either, which resulted in averaging 15.7 points. She averaged 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.4 steals and 2.4 blocks a game while converting her opportunities at the line. Andrews shot 76.6 percent on free-throw attempts, good for third best in the area. JESSICA VILLIE Marengo, sr., forward Every time Villie stepped onto the court, she was a double-double machine for the Indians. Villie
averaged 17 points a game, second-most in the area, while leading all players with 12.1 rebounds a game. She had a knack for getting to the basket and capitalizing on offensive rebounds. Villie was just as active defensively, averaging three steals and often caused matchup problems for the opposition. SHANNON WUENSCH Marian Central, sr., forward Opposing teams usually learned the hard way when it came to Wuensch. She scored 17.6 points a game to lead all area players en route to the Hurricanes’ first regional title in five years. She knocked down 44 3-pointers to complement her 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals a game. Wuensch’s Marian career ends with her name atop the record book as its all-time leading scorer and the first player to reach 1,000 points (1,187 career points).
Andrews has 955 points in only 2 varsity seasons • ANDREWS Continued from page C1 And if Andrews didn’t convert in the lane, she often punished any opponent who believed fouling her was the better option. She attempted 165 free throws and made 81.8 percent, making 14 more than any other area player. “She just did a great job of taking on the load offensively,” Raethz said. “She’s a model of consistency. Her offensive output coupled with her work ethic makes her such a dual threat offensively.” Andrews already has scored 955 career points in two varsity seasons, and she is on track to become only the third player in program history to eclipse 1,000 points.
Andrews’ modesty and quiet confidence earned praised and respect from her Huntley teammates. “I’d like to be a leader like she is,” freshman forward Ali Andrews said of her sister. “Even though she’s not always vocal, she always encourages you on the court.” Despite her personal success amid Huntley’s remarkable year, Andrews isn’t settling after what she deemed a “good” individual season. Improving her ball handling is one of Andrews’ top offseason priorities. “I just know that when I step on the court it’s obviously about having fun, too, but you need to get your job done,” Andrews said. “You know what you’re out there for. It’s about being the best you can be for your team.”
NORTHWEST HERALD GIRLS BASKETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR
Raethz leads Red Raiders to best finish in school history By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com Huntley girls basketball coach Steve Raethz walked into the visitors’ locker room steeling himself for one of the toughest postgame talks of his 14-year career. A dejected group of Red Raiders sat in front of him minutes after watching their chance at earning a share of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title slip away in an overtime loss at CaryGrove, a game they had led by nine with 5:30 left in the fourth quarter. As the disappointment set in, Raethz reminded them the season was not over. “Our goal of getting a conference championship is no longer and you have to set your sights on the postseason,” Raethz told them, according to assistant coach Phil Leiterman. “You will be remembered more for what you do then.” Huntley went on to drop another game, this time to Grayslake Central, to close the regular season on its only two-game losing streak of the year. Seeded third in the Belvidere North Regional and facing a ranked DeKalb team
that ended Huntley’s season a year ago, Huntley easily could have been knocked out of the postseason. But instead, with a renewed focus and determination, Huntley won five consecutive games to reach state. After guiding Huntley to its first state appearance and a fourth-place finish in Class 4A, capping the best season in school history, Steve Raethz Raethz is the Northwest Herald Coach of the Year. “In order to really, truly maximize your potential, you’re going to have to go through a period of adversity,” Raethz said. “That was really a period of adversity for us.” Raethz praised his team’s ability to execute the game plans and study film and scouting reports before each game. He deflected any credit for Huntley’s success to his players and assistant coach Leiterman. Junior forward Sam Andrews disagreed with her coach’s assessment. “He deserves a lot of credit, probably the most out of anyone,” Andrews said. “He
cares so much about us and he spends so much time between practice plans and working with each individual player. He tries to make everyone be the best they can be.” Leiterman, who has spent the past four seasons on the staff, said Raethz’s attention to detail and his preparedness sets him apart from many coaches. And though the Red Raiders were expected to be one of the area’s best teams and a contender for the FVC Valley title, which they proved to be, no one outside of Huntley envisioned them finishing with a program-best 26 wins or a state appearance. It’s a testament to Raethz finding the right combination with a rotation that incorporated two freshmen and three juniors. “They could have packed it in,” Crystal Lake South coach Kyle McCaughn said of Huntley’s tough end to the regular season. “There was something that happened in those practices with his leadership that got them to believe. He had them believing and so many things are able to happen when you have a group believe in what you’re doing. It says a lot about his leadership.”

Adams, 3 others heading to Peoria for 3-Point Showdown Huntley senior T.J. Adams uses visualization to deal with any nerves he experiences while competing in the IHSA Class 4A Three-Point Showdown. Adams sees himself not in front of hundreds of fans, but with his father, Paul, and brother, J.T., just like when they shoot at Lifetime Fitness. That thinking has served Adams well. He qualified for state as a junior and after a pair of double-digit rounds in the regional and sectional, the Red Raiders guard is headed back to Peoria’s Carver Arena for the competition today. Johnsburg’s Collin Ridout and Henry Lobermeier and Harvard’s Justin Nolen will shoot in the Class 3A competition. The competition begins at 5 p.m. with one 4A shooter and one 3A shooter on each end. Adams made 10 of 15 shots in the Rockford East Regional, then hit 11 of 15 to win at the DeKalb Sectional. “It’s especially great going down [to state] after making it last year, too,” Adams said. “I haven’t been thinking of the scores, I just go out there and act like I’m at Lifetime with my dad and my brother.”
PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson Ridout and Lobermeier had to shoot with two other players in an overtime shootoff for three qualifying spots at the Antioch Sectional. Ridout wanted to shoot well, just not too well. “I was looking to get in with Henry,” Ridout said. “I didn’t want to knock him out. And I didn’t want to be the one guy out either.” Everything worked out just fine for the pair of Skyhawks. Lobermeier hit 6 of 10 shots from the corners in the shoot-off. Ridout hit five. When the next shooter made only three, they celebrated. “It will be way more fun to go downstate together,” said Ridout, who hit 31 3-pointers for the season. Nolen hit 9 of 15 at the Class 3A Freeport Sectional, then hit 6 of 10 in a shoot-off to qualify and will be shooting along with Lobermeier and Ridout in Class 3A on Thursday at Peoria’s Carver Arena. Huntley’s Adams won the Class 4A DeKalb Sectional with 11 3s and is the area’s only 4A representative. Lobermeier was the first
of 20 shooters in regulation and also was the first of the four competitors in the shootoff. “Hitting six felt pretty good, but I knew I could still get beaten,” he said. “I was just happy we’re not done. We thought we’d do way better as a team this year and it’s nice to still be going in this.” Likewise, Nolen was first of four shooters and put on the pressure with six shots. He could have a lot of traveling to do this weekend with the competition today and baseball games scheduled Friday and Saturday in Litchfield. “We’ll go down Thursday, and if I don’t advance, I’ll come back and go to Litchfield with the team,” Nolen said. “If I make it, I’ll stay in Peoria and then go to Litchfield.” Nolen said Litchfield has had temperatures in the 50s and 60s and thinks the Hornets’ games might go on as scheduled.

Bears noncommittal on re-signing Urlacher By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears will be on a tight spending budget for remaining free agents after signing Martellus Bennett and Jermon Bushrod this week, general manager Phil Emery said Wednesday. “There’s not a lot of room to wiggle,” Emery said. But there always is room to negotiate. The Bears have approached unrestricted free agent Brian Urlacher about re-signing with the team, Emery said, but Brian Urlacher he would not divulge how far (if at all) those talks had progressed. “It’s a process,” Emery said. “It’s going to have to be slow and well thought out.” Regardless, the Bears will have to bolster their depth at linebacker before the start of next season. Urlacher and Nick Roach are free agents, while Geno Hayes signed a two-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending last season on the lakefront. That means Lance Briggs, Blake Costanzo and J.T. Thomas are the most experienced linebackers on the Bears’ current roster. Costanzo and Thomas have served primarily as special teams contributors. First-year coach Marc Trestman said he liked what he had seen of Urlacher’s game film. “I think that Brian is a very, very capable player,” Trestman said. “I’m excited about him being part of this football team if that happens, certainly.” Whether that happens is anyone’s guess. “I’ve had a number of discussions with Brian,” Trestman said. “We’re very respectful of his position, obviously, as it relates to this team and to the community. We know that. “I’m going to give you the same answer that I’ve given you that it’s going

to be an ongoing process. When it’s time to let you know what’s happening, we’ll detail it out for you.” Have a seat: Emery said he met with offensive lineman J’Marcus Webb after the player’s arrest downstate on drug charges, which later were dropped. Webb, 24, issued an apology via his Twitter page several days later. “We definitely sat down and talked to J’Marcus,” Emery said. “We definitely let him know what our expectation level is and what our standards are, and we certainly expect that he will work diligently in meeting those expectations and standards and continue to compete for his job and add to the team.” After signing Bushrod to play left tackle, the Bears expect Webb to move to the other side of the line and compete for a starting job at right tackle. Familiar face: Bushrod offered high praise for Aaron Kromer, his longtime position coach with the New Orleans Saints and the new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the Bears. “He’s probably a major factor of why I’m here,” said Bushrod, who was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2011 and 2012. “We established a good relationship over the last three, four years. “He’s working me. He’s seen the lows, he’s seen the highs. He’s familiar with me; I’m familiar with him. When I found out this is one of the places I could end up, it was a no-brainer.” Bears bits: Emery indicated that he would be open to trading down in next month’s NFL draft to accumulate more picks. The Bears have the No. 20 overall pick of the first round. … The Bears released tight ends Kellen Davis and Matt Spaeth, which could mean a bigger role for second-year tight end Evan Rodriguez along with Bennett.
Opposites attract at news conference • MUSICK Continued from page C1 No practice session or game comes after these news conferences. Because of that, it’s impossible to know exactly how the player’s strengths and weaknesses will fit into his new team’s system. But these events can offer lots of clues about a player’s personality. Bennett has a loud one. Bushrod has a quiet one. The Bears should be better off because of the mix. Think about how dreadful your workplace would be if everyone were super-serious all of the time. Or think about how unproductive your workplace would be if everyone were a class clown. Balance is important, and the Bears provided more of that to their locker room this week. Take Bennett, the 26-year-old tight end who caught 55 passes for 626 yards and five touchdowns with the New York Giants in 2012. “I’m excited to be a Chicago Bear,” Bennett said. “Bears are one of my favorite animals, after dinosaurs. I don’t think there are any dinosaurs in the NFL, so, Bears, it’s a great thing to be.” Bushrod laughed from his nearby seat. He knew that the serious tone of his comments would not top Bennett’s comedy routine, but he appreciated his new teammate’s light and fun approach. “That’s key,” said Bushrod, a twotime Pro Bowl left tackle with the New Orleans Saints. “He’s the ice-breaker. For me, I’m more the quiet type until I get to know everybody.” Nothing wrong with that. We still are getting to know Bears coach Marc Trestman, but he comes across as a serious leader type. I suppose anything is possible, but I would really, really doubt that Trestman will be starring in a “Harlem Shake” video anytime soon – which is probably best for all of us. Yet Trestman can appreciate a col-
orful personality, even if he draws his plays in black and white. “That’s what makes football great,” Trestman said. “It brings people from all different perspectives. And as long as the team comes first and selflessness is a part of the comments and not selfishness, I think we’re in a good place.” On his first full day with the Bears, Bennett didn’t speak out of selfishness. Goofiness? Yes, for sure. Bennett was happy to explain the origin of his nickname, “Black Unicorn.” He said white unicorns were common but black unicorns were rare, which was kind of how he saw himself. “One day, I had black tights on and I was running down the field, and I just felt like a unicorn,” Bennett said. “I didn’t feel like a horse, I felt like a unicorn. So I just said the ‘Black Unicorn.’ “It was nothing special about it. It was just a flair of the moment. I like it, though. I like the nickname. It’s like the ‘Black Mamba’ for Kobe [Bryant]. It’s magical. I enjoy magic. I’m a Harry Potter fan.” Whether it’s Quidditch or football or anything else, a balanced workplace can be a happy workplace. People develop relationships. They come to appreciate their differences and offer complementary strengths. Bushrod saw that concept come to life in New Orleans a few seasons ago. That’s when he earned a Super Bowl ring to go along with those fancy brown dress shoes. “That’s what gets you to a Super Bowl – not going out and practicing every day,” Bushrod said. “You’ve got to do that. That’s your job. “But if you have a relationship with these guys off the field, if you all get together, then you’re emotionally invested in these people and you want to do better for them. “That’s life. That’s what this thing is about.”

Management Fund bill
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has been the financial whipping boy for our state legislators for more than 10 years. Sure, the economy still is swimming in the porcelain bowl and Illinois is near the bottom of the list of states with good financial standing. Yet, the IDNR has been disproportionately victimized by our state’s legislators. Last year, I urged you all to demand that the “IDNR Sustainability” bill be passed immediately. Mike Conlin, retired Fisheries Director for the IDNR, asked that a “Fish Management Fund” be added to the bill that would allow only the Fisheries Director to spend any of the money generated by fishing. The House passed the bill, but the Senate missed the deadline to bring the bill to a vote. Conlin recently sent me an update. “So what is happening with the proposal made last year to establish an Illinois Fisheries Management Fund? Well, thanks to the e-mails, letters, and calls made by Illinois’ anglers, an addition was made to the Illinois DNR Sustainability Bill which established a Fisheries Management Fund to which approximately $1.6 million will be deposited each andevery year. Please note that this money for Fisheries did not come about as a result of any increased fees for Illinois anglers, it comes from a long pre-existing fund source. “Now, you might be thinking, no more needs to be done to reverse the fortunes of the Division of Fisheries, whose staffing levels have fallen 55% the past decade. WRONG! Although the gains made in 2012 were positive, the fact is that the Fisheries gain can easily be wiped out by simply reducing the Division of Fisheries share of the Wildlife and Fish Fund (where all license and sportfishing excise tax monies are deposited) by a like amount. There is still no protection of the
OUTDOORS Steve Sarley hard-earned money anglers pay each year for the protection, enhancement, and management of Illinois’ sport fishing and aquatic resources. Presently, the angler paid portion ($14 million to $15 million per year) is co-mingled with other funds in the Wildlife and Fish Fund and expended on what are called ‘license eligible expenses,’ many of which have nothing to do with sport fishing or aquatic resources!’ “The absolute need for depositing all fishing related fines, license fees, and sport fishing federal excise tax monies into the Illinois Fisheries Management Fund as the only way to ensure these monies are spent on what they weretruly intended for, was made crystal clear by the Illinois DNR’s response to my Freedom of Information request last year. The April 30, 2012 request was answered some two months later, with the DNR advising that they could not find any documents relative to how much Wildlife and Fish Fund monies were spent for the operation of the Division of Fisheries (or for any of the other DNR Divisions or Offices, which was also requested) for the years 2000-2011. “In addition, there is a critical need included in the draft bill that the DNR Fisheries Division Chief be a required link in the required approval process chain for authorizing expenditures from the Fisheries Management Fund. Further, the draft bill clearly defines just what expenditures Fisheries Management Fund monies may be spent on. Such changes will create a system of disclosure for expenditures and make the Illinois DNR truly accountable to Illinois anglers and constituents.
“To achieve the needed protection of angler dollars and our precious fisheries resources, an Illinois Fisheries Management Fund bill needs to be introduced into the General Assembly. “I met with Representative Frank Mautino (D-Spring Valley) on January 25, 2013 and fully discussed the current funding plight of the Illinois DNR’s Division of Fisheries and how the Fisheries Management Fund draft bill was absolutely crucial to insure that our children and grandchildren have quality fishery and aquatic resources to enjoy and nurture during their lifetimes. “Your immediate action is needed. Please contact Representative Frank Mautino (e-mail: patti76th@ivnet.com; phone 217-782-0140) and do two things: Thank him for his leadership last year in achieving some assistance for Fisheries in his DNR Sustainability Bill; and politely ask him to help Illinois’ 1.2 million anglers by sponsoring the Illinois Fisheries Management Fund bill (a copy of which was given to him on January 25, 2013). “Also contact your state legislators and ask them for their help in sponsoring and passing the Illinois Fisheries Management Fund bill. Your local legislators may be found by going to www.elections. il.gov. At the top left, click on #4. “If anglers work hard and work together like we did last year, we can make a difference! Please make your contacts now.” If you’d like a copy of the proposed bill in its entirety, send email to mikeconlin34@royell.org.

Chicago set to host CONCACAF final
Martinique at Denver (July 14).
NOME, Alaska – A 53-year-old former champion won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to become the oldest winner of Alaska’s grueling test of endurance. Mitch Seavey and 10 dogs crossed the Nome finish line to cheering crowds at 10:39 p.m. Alaska time Tuesday. “This is for all of the gentlemen of a certain age,” he said after crossing the finish line in temperatures just above zero. His race time in the 1,000-mile race was nine days, 7 hours and 39 minutes. Seavey’s victory came after a dueling sprint against Aliy Zirkle, last year’s runner-up, along the frozen, wind-whipped Bering Sea coast toward Nome. Zirkle crossed the finish line 24 minutes after her rival, who greeted her after a while.

Secondhand smoke is bad for Son trades on lies, good looks to get what he wants adults but worse for children Dear Abby: I need help and don’t know where to turn. I am divorced and have a 37-year-old son, “Teddy,” who has never married and has no children. He lives on his own except when he’s in trouble or has nowhere else to go. Then he moves back in with me. The problem is my son is a liar and has been ever since he was a teenager. He even lies when telling the truth would be better. I punished him every way I knew how when he was growing up. Nothing worked. Teddy has been in trouble with the law in the past and is now in trouble again. Of course, he says he’s innocent. I got him out on bond and offered to get him help. I also told him there would be no more money from me, and I no longer want to hear his lies. Another problem: Teddy is extremely good-looking, and women swoon over him. He ends up using them and then dumping them, and then they call me. I don’t know why he is the way he is. Is there treatment for people who can’t tell the truth? Please tell me what to do. I love my son, and it breaks my heart to see him do these bad things. – Brokenhearted Mother In Texas Dear Brokenhearted: As
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips much as you love Teddy, it’s time to accept that you can’t fix what’s wrong with him; only he can do that. It won’t happen until he finally has to accept the consequences of his bad behavior. Taking him in and bailing him out is not the answer. It also helps no one when you have long conversations with the women who call you, so protect yourself by cutting them short. Considering the kind of man your son is, thank your lucky stars that he has no children – yet. Dear Abby: My father recently moved to an apartment with no storage, and I was left with 10 large boxes of memorabilia. Going through these boxes brought many tears of remembrance and new insights into the lives of my parents and grandparents. My problem now is what to do with these things; I can scan photos and letters, but what about Great-Grandma’s wedding dress (stained and moth-eaten), Mother’s christening gown (too frail to use again) and the dear soft curl of hair from my uncle who died in childhood?
I don’t have much storage room, and I’m not certain my children would even care about these things. Yet it doesn’t seem right to throw them in the garbage. I wonder what other people do with treasured items that have no value beyond sentiment. – Soft Heart/Practical
Head In Tacoma Dear Soft Heart: Do not automatically assume your children would have no interest in the contents of those 10 boxes. ASK them. However, if they say no, then contact the state historical society or a local theater troupe and inquire if they would have any interest. You may be pleasantly surprised to find some of the items would be welcomed. Dear Abby: My wife and I are having a disagreement about laundry. When you buy new clothes that are still in the plastic wrapping, should they be washed before they are worn? – Jim In New
Jersey Dear Jim: It’s a personal choice. Some garment manufacturers recommend certain items be laundered before wearing. However, if they don’t, I don’t.

Dear Dr. K: My husband smokes. Is secondhand smoke really as dangerous for me as I’ve heard? Dear Reader: When I first became a doctor, very few people thought secondhand smoke affected your health. I was one of the skeptics. It just seemed like the amount of smoke you take into your lungs when you smoke is so much more than when you are with a smoker. But doctors began to study secondhand smoke, and thank goodness they did. More than a thousand studies show beyond the shadow of a doubt that secondhand smoke can be very bad for you – bad for adults, and even worse for kids. You don’t take as much smoke into your lungs when you live with a smoker than if you are a smoker. But you take in more than enough to threaten your health. Whether it’s smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe, secondhand smoke is a dangerous mixture of freshly burned tobacco and exhaled smoke that contains hundreds of chemicals. These include formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide, ammonia, arsenic and lead.

Some are known to cause cancer; others are highly poisonous to cells all over the body. That sounds like it should have negative effects on your health, and it does. The U.S. Surgeon General estimates the following risks to nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke at home or work. Secondhand smoke: • increases their risk of heart disease by 25 percent to 30 percent; • increases their risk of lung cancer by 20 percent to 30 percent; • causes asthma or triggers asthma attacks; • is responsible for 50,000 deaths each year in the United States – more people than are killed in automobile accidents. Smoking long has been linked with lung cancer; it is the prime cause of this disease. But its effects aren’t limited to the lungs. Smoking also affects the heart and blood vessels; so does
secondhand smoke. In fact, routinely breathing secondhand smoke is almost as bad for the heart as smoking. The best thing you can do – for your health as well as your husband’s – is to persuade him to quit smoking. If your husband can’t or won’t quit, ask him to smoke outside or just in one room that no one else uses. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by air cleaners or air filters. They can’t eliminate the hazards of secondhand smoke. And don’t assume the dangers of secondhand smoke disappear once the smoke clears. Nicotine in smoke residue clings to walls, carpets, clothing and other surfaces. It can react with a common indoor air pollutant to form cancer-causing compounds that can persist for months. Really, I’m not being an alarmist. Secondhand smoke is almost as bad for nonsmokers as smoking is for smokers. And that’s how you need to treat it.

Asner, 83, hospitalized
‘Veronica Mars’ film raises funds “Veronica Mars” fans eager for a movie based on the TV series have a chance to put their money where their hopes are. Series creator Rob Thomas launched an online crowd-funding campaign Wednesday to make a big-screen version of the show. “Veronica Mars,” which starred Kristen Bell as a young sleuth, ended its three-season run in 2007. On the Kickstarter website, Thomas said the $2 million fundraiser represents “our one shot to see a ‘Veronica Mars’ movie happen.” More than 16,000 backers had pledged more than $1.1 million within hours Wednesday. Thomas said “Veronica Mars” owner Warner Bros. has given the project its blessing, and Bell and other cast members are ready to begin production this summer for a 2014 release. The fundraising campaign, which was confirmed by Thomas’ representative at United Talent Agency, ends April 12. “You have banded together like the sassy little honey badgers you are and made this possibility happen,” Bell said in an online message, promising the “sleuthiest, snarkiest” movie possible. Bell is back on TV in “House of Lies,” the Showtime series starring Don Cheadle. She and several “Veronica Mars” cast members appear in a lighthearted video on Kickstarter in which they mull the prospect of reuniting. Backers are eligible for various goodies, ranging from a PDF copy of the script to be sent on the day the film is released (for a $10 pledge) to naming rights to a character (for $8,000). An appearance in the movie, available to one $10,000 contributor, was snapped up.
Ed Asner’s publicist says the 83-year-old actor, who has been touring the country performing a one-man show for more than three years, has been hospitalized with exhaustion. Publicist Charles Sherman said Asner was taken off stage at the Marquette Pavilion in Gary, Ind., on Tuesday night. Sherman said Asner was taken by ambulance to a Chicago-area hospital where he is “resting comfortably” and was expected to be released
More celeb news at PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz later Wednesday. Asner has been touring the nation portraying President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in “FDR” for 3 1/2 years.
‘Moonshiner’ arrested A star of the TV show “Moonshiners” has been arrested for public intoxication. Police in Danville announced Tuesday they had arrested Steven Ray Tickle – known on the show by his surname – at a convenience store Thursday. Police say they received a report of a man sitting in the parking lot of Charley’s Stop and Shop drinking, and they saw Tickle with an open container and smelling of alcohol. The 35-year-old Tickle was released from the Danville City Jail later that day. “Moonshiners” follows people making the illegal brew. The show’s website describes Tickle as “a hard working still hand who loves moonshine.”
Man pursues Trump A man was being held without bond in South Florida Wednesday after authorities said he violated a restraining order to stay away from one of Donald Trump’s daughters. Doral police arrested John Eugene Enabnit at a hotel Monday. He was being held at a Miami-Dade County jail on a charge of violating a restraining order issued by a New York court. Ivanka Trump is an executive vice president for her father’s Trump Organization and appeared on his reality television show “The Apprentice.” Donald Trump owns the Trump Doral Resort & Spa in the Miami suburbs, where Tiger Woods won the Cadillac Championship on Sunday. Police Chief Richard Blom said the resort’s security escorted Enabnit off the tournament grounds Saturday. Enabnit was trying to get into a media area with someone else’s credential, which was not valid on that particular day, Blom said.

CC Vette owner Craig Cone leans into a hollow 1969 Corvette he is restoring for a client. CC Vette is celebrating its 25th year in business.
Love at first sight A quarter century of restoring classic Corvettes By KEVIN CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Craig Cone is celebrating 25 years in a career that goes back to love at first sight. Cone was 16 in 1963 when he bought from a classmate a 1954 Corvette – only the second model year that General Motors offered the venerable automobile. But his father made him sell it out of fear that the hot rod would kill the teenager. He sold it for $200. It’s now worth a lot more than that – Cone says you’d be hard pressed to find a part to a 1954 Corvette cheaper than $200. And while Cone said he never let his dad live it down, his dad did set him on the road to where he is now. His McHenry-based business, CC Vette, is celebrating its 25th anniversary repairing and restoring Corvettes. “I started this in my garage as a hobby, lost a corporate job, and decided to do this full-time,” Cone said in the front office of his garage. His 1,500-square-foot garage on a cold Monday morning housed two Corvettes. He owns and drives the black 1963 split-window coupe – he bought it in 1986, sold it in 1992, and bought it back in 2006 when he found it for sale on eBay. To its left was a red 1969 435-horsepower convertible that Cone is refurbishing for a client. And on the computer screen in the front of his office was a picture of a black 1954 Corvette restoration of which he is particularly proud. The “before” picture of the car was taken in the barn garage in LaGrange where it had slowly been rotting away, in pieces, since 1972. A client bought it and asked Cone to make it a “restomod” – a classic car restored to look like the original but with modern parts and performance. Earlier this year, the car was chosen for auction at Scottsdale, Ariz., by the prestigious Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction. The auction last January cleared $106 million in sales. The wall above Cone’s computer holds a blue rib-

A 1954 Corvette restored by Craig Cone was chosen for the Barrett-Jackson car auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. bon he won in 2005 from the National Corvette Restorers Society for a 1964 Corvette he restored. Unfortunately for that car, the “after” picture on Cone’s computer was taken after the owner mangled it in a crash. Cone’s restoration career started when he lost his job as a telecommunications executive in 1988. He had two choices – look for another full-time job despite the fact he had developed “a bad taste for corporate life,” or turn his fulltime hobby into a business.
Cone chose the latter. “What’s that they say – do something you love and never work a day in your life? I’ve been accused of that,” Cone said. The business that started in his home garage then moved to a garage in Woodstock, and eight years ago moved to its current site in Adams Industrial Park in McHenry. Cone does more than restore and repair Corvettes – he and business partners come up with ways to improve them. Just off to the right of his latest remod-

eling job was a set of ZO-6 brakes for the more modern Corvette C6, for which he has engineered the parts to adapt them to models between 1963 and 1982. Cone said he is in the process of marketing them. Cone said he intends to keep celebrating anniversaries for his one-man business. Retiring, he said, just wouldn’t make any sense. “I don’t know what I’d do if I retired. If I retired, I’d still be doing this on a daily basis for something to do,” Cone said.
HARVARD – Harvard Savings Bank is preparing for its seventh annual free Community Shred Day from 10 a.m. to noon April 6 at Crosby Elementary School, 401 Hereley Drive, Harvard. Community members are encouraged to bring boxes of papers to be shredded in a large on-site destruction truck. Although this event is free, Harvard Savings Bank is requesting that community members bring a nonperishable food item to be donated to the Harvard Food Pantry. There is a limit of two boxes per person and should contain paper only – no plastic, metal, vinyl or garbage. “It’s exciting that we’ve been able to provide this service for seven years now and it keeps growing. Every year Americans lose billions of dollars to fraud. As a community service, Harvard Savings Bank helping the community to take action and protect themselves,” said Duffy Seyller, president of Harvard Savings Bank. Duffy said identity-theft prevention information and handouts will be available during shredding hours. For more information, call Cindy Rowe at 815-943-5261, or visit www.harvardsavingsbank.com.

Steps to take if you no longer love your job Everyone wants a job they love. I’m sure no one has ever said, “I want to spend 40+ hours of doing work I hate” or “I just want to feel mediocre about my career.” Unfortunately, finding a job that you’re passionate about or maintaining your zeal for a job you once loved isn’t easy. A survey of American workers by Ipsos, a global market research company, found that only 55 percent of U.S. employees say they love their jobs. If that unhappy employee is a manager or an executive, or you(!) the negative implications could be far reaching. But, it’s not all bad news. If you no longer love your work, there are several steps you can take to help turn your relationship with your job around. Check your perspective. Every situation can look different, depending
on your perspective. So, take a step back and consider how you’re looking at your job. Is your job fulfilling a need or a want? Is it just a job? Is it a career with the goal of advancement? Do you see your job as a calling, where you focus on the sense of fulfillment the work gives you? An article from the Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit medical care, research and education organization, points out that none of these three choices are bad, and most people actually find aspects of all of them to be true in their current work situations. To help revive your job satisfaction, try to remember why you took this job in the first place. Are you grateful for your job? Have you said “thank you” in your words and deeds to your boss, co-workers, and staff lately? Can you quantify what you contribute in
WORK FORCE Terri Greeno your job? Would you want to hire or work with or for YOU? Don’t stop learning. Boredom with your normal, day-to-day tasks can quickly drain your passion for work. So make it a goal to always be learning something new. Watch a webinar, read a book or attend a conference. This is also a great precedent to set for your entire department or company. The most successful leaders are those who never stop learning and stay at the forefront of their industry. Get out of your office. Personal connections are key to maintaining your job satisfaction and ensuring you actually look forward to going
into work each day. In a Fox Business article, Jeanette Mulvey recommends making friends with the people you work with. If you’re a supervisor, it can be tricky to maintain the balance of friendship and leadership with your employees. But, you should at least learn what’s going on in their lives and about their goals. This will empower you to help them achieve their dreams, which will fulfill you as a leader. You also need to stay connected with your customers. Meeting customers’ needs is at the heart of every business; and you can’t stay in tune with those needs if you never interact with them. Make a few phone calls, schedule some client lunch appointments or walk the aisles of your store. Nothing revives passion for a job better than seeing how your work fits into the big picture of serv-
ing your customers! By changing your outlook about work and rekindling that passion you once had for your job, you can love the job you already have. And, the good news is that not only will you be happier at work, you’ll also discover many other benefits to loving your job. As career advice columnist Curt Rosengren from US News points out, when you love your work you will have more energy, feel more confident, be more committed and find more enjoyment in your life outside of work. Plus, happiness is contagious, so you just might spread your new found love for the job to the rest of your team!

U.S. retail sales up solid 1.1 percent in February The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Americans spent at the fastest pace in five months in February, boosting retail spending 1.1 percent compared with January. About half the jump reflected higher gas prices, but even excluding gas purchases, retail sales rose 0.6 percent.
8IN BRIEF Michelle Obama urges CEOs to hire more vets WASHINGTON – Michelle Obama is challenging some of America’s top CEOs to “think outside the box” and hire more veterans. The first lady said Wednesday that while declines in U.S. unemployment are encouraging, joblessness among veterans is nearly two points higher, at 9.4 percent. She said that figure translates into about 200,000 unemployed veterans, excluding military spouses and those who will return home after the U.S. ends its combat mission in Afghanistan. Mrs. Obama said a campaign she launched two years ago with Jill Biden, the vice president’s wife, has led businesses to hire or train more than 125,000 veterans and military spouses. But she said more needs to be done. The first lady urged CEO members of the Business Roundtable to “think outside the box” when they are considering hiring veterans.
Brazil to pass U.S. as top soybean producer CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – An Iowa State University expert says long-term trends and recent weather patterns have put Brazil in a position to overtake the United States as the world’s leading producer of soybeans. Chad Hart is a grain markets specialist at Iowa State, and he says the market change “has been building over a long period of time, but this year will be a milestone.” Hart said U.S. farmers can’t match the rate at which Brazil is increasing the acres for soybean crops. Hart says that although Brazil may replace the United States as the world’s largest producer of soybeans, soybeans will continue to be profitable for U.S. growers. And, he says, U.S. dominance for corn production will continue.
U.S. businesses boost restocking 1 percent WASHINGTON – U.S. companies increased their restocking in January from December, an encouraging signal that they expect consumers will spend more this year and help the economy grow faster. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that business stockpiles grew 1 percent in January. That’s up from 0.3 percent growth in December and the biggest gain since May 2011. Total business sales fell 0.3 percent in January after a slight 0.1 percent rise in December. Weak growth in restocking was a key reason the economy barely grew from October through December. Since then, job growth has accelerated and wages have steadily risen. The combination could lead to greater consumer demand, prompting more business restocking and economic growth. A separate report Wednesday showed that retail sales rose 1.1 percent in February, providing evidence that consumers are being helped by the stronger wage growth. Retail stockpiles also increased 4 percent. Wholesale stockpiles grew 1.2 percent, the biggest gain in 13 months. Stockpiles held by manufacturers rose 0.5 percent. The economy grew only 0.1 percent rate in the fourth quarter.
– From wire services
The report Wednesday from the Commerce Department showed that Americans kept spending last month despite higher Social Security taxes that took effect this year. The retail sales report is the government’s first look each month at consumer spending, which drives about 70 percent of economic activity. Core retail sales, which exclude
gas, autos and building supply store sales, rose 0.4 percent in February compared with January. Auto sales rose 1.1 percent after a 0.4 percent January increase. The February gain was the biggest since December. Sales at gas stations surged 5 percent, the biggest advance since a 6 percent rise in August. Sales at general merchandise
stores, a category that includes major department stores such as Macy’s and big discount stores such as WalMart and Target, rose 0.5 percent in February. But the department store category as a whole fell 1 percent. The category that covers Internet sales rose a strong 1.6 percent in February after a 1.4 percent January gain. Sales at restaurants and bars
dropped 0.7 percent, while furniture store sales fell 1.6 percent. The solid increase in retail sales was encouraging because it showed that Americans kept spending despite a payroll tax increase that has lowered take-home pay this year for most workers. Someone earning $50,000 has about $1,000 less to spend in 2013.

Trader Richard Cohen works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday. daq composite rose 2.80 points, or 0.1 percent, to 3,245.12 Stocks of retail companies rose after the sales report. Kohl’s rose $1.49, or 3.15 percent, to $48.82 and Best Buy gained 67 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $20.96. Brian Gendreau, a strategist at Cetera Financial Group, says that even if markets dip in coming weeks, the trend of rising company earnings is likely to push stocks higher in the longer term. So far companies have reported 7.7 percent earnings growth for the fourth quarter, the third straight quarter of gains, according to S&P Capital IQ. “Earnings growth has been quite strong. Corporations have found a way to make money,” said Gendreau. “New products, new markets, cost savings. I don’t believe that is going to stop any time soon.” The S&P 500 index has gained 9 percent in 2013 and is within less than a percentage point of its record close of 1,565.15 set in October 2007. Among stocks making big moves: • Spectrum Pharmaceuticals plunged $4.64, or 37 percent, to $7.79 after the pharmaceutical company said sales of its drug Fusilev could fall by more than half this year. • Dole dropped $1.06, or 9 percent, to $10.67 after the company’s fourth-quarter results fell short of analysts’ expectations. The fruit company cited lower banana prices in North America. • Express fell 60 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $18.25 after the clothing retailer’s earnings report disappointed investors. Michael Weiss, the company’s CEO and chairman, told analysts on a conference call that customer traffic was “down noticeably” compared to last year.
Discover to offer home equity loans By ALEX VEIGA AP Real Estate Writer LOS ANGELES – Discover Financial Services says it will begin offering home equity loans beginning in the second half of this year, the latest move by the company to push further into direct banking. Senior executives for the Riverwoods company laid out plans for the new home loan program this week at an investor briefing. Discover plans to make fixed-rate home equity loans between $25,000 and $100,000 to homeowners, Carlos Minetti, executive vice president of consumer banking and operations at Discover, said at the briefing. Minetti noted that he expects the home equity loans will appeal to homeowners looking to consolidate debt. The new loan program also should complement the company’s personal loans, which are capped at $25,000, he added. The company doesn’t anticipate the program will have a material impact on its net income this year or next. Discover, best known for its namesake credit card, has been pushing further into the direct banking business, offering auto, personal and student loans. Last June, it acquired Tree. com Inc.’s mortgage business for $45.9 million and has since funded more than $2 billion in residential mortgages. During the run up in home
according to Morningstar. Twenty of the 30 top-performers posted 2008 losses of less than 30 percent. The best in the bunch since October 2007 lost just 5.1 percent the following year. Manager Frederick “Fritz” Reynolds of the Reynolds Blue Chip Growth fund (RBCGX) sensed trouble in the housing market and began selling stocks and holding onto cash as subprime mortgage troubles rippled into the stock market. When the recovery rally began in March 2009, Reynolds shifted back into stocks. Such good timing is often a matter of luck as much as skill, and Reynolds posted mixed results in 2009 through 2012. But the fund’s 2008 result was so strong that Reynolds Blue Chip Growth possesses the top record among all largecap stock funds since Oct. 9, 2007, according to Morningstar. The growth stock fund posted a total return of nearly 88 percent through Monday. That’s a huge margin over the broader stock market. If it seems odd that a single year can have such a big impact over a 5-year period, consider the realities of recovery math. If stocks lose 50 percent of their value, you’ll need a 100 percent gain — not 50 percent — to get back to where you started. That’s comparable to recent experience, as the Dow tumbled 54 percent
By MARK JEWELL AP Personal Finance Writer
The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Dow Jones industrial average notched its ninth gain in a row, giving the index its longest winning streak in more than16 years. The index edged up 5.22 points, or 0.04 percent, to 14,455.28. The Dow has risen every day this month and is up 10.3 percent this year, having surpassed its previous alltime high of 14,164.53 March 5th. Demand for stocks has been propelled this year by optimism that the housing market is recovering and that companies have started to hire. Strong company earnings and ongoing stimulus from the Federal Reserve are also helping make stocks more attractive. The Dow’s last nine-day winning streak was logged in May 1996. In November of the same year, in the early days of the technology boom, it gained for 10 straight days. Stocks overcame an early loss Wednesday, having edged lower at the start of the trading day despite an unexpectedly strong increase in U.S. consumer spending last month. The failure of the market to rally directly after the report suggests that the bar has now risen for investors as stocks have rallied. “As the market rises, so do expectations,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management. “So, even if you get good numbers you don’t necessarily get the market to go up.” The solid increase in retail sales is encouraging for the economy because it shows that Americans kept spending despite a payroll tax increase that has lowered takehome pay this year for most workers. Consumer spending drives about 70 percent of the U.S. economy. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 2.04 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,554.52. The Nas-

prices early in the last decade, Americans tapped the growing equity in their homes to finance spending. That ended when the housing bubble burst around 2007, driving down home values and leaving millions of U.S. homeowners with little or no equity in their homes to borrow against. But Discover sees an opportunity in home equity loans now that the U.S. housing market has begun what appears to be a sustained, if gradual, recovery. Rising demand combined with fewer available homes has helped push home prices steadily upward since last year. They posted their biggest annual increase in six years in January. That’s helping restore equity to homeowners, which could open the door for them to borrow against that equity. “As this trend continues, stronger demand for this product will remerge,” Minetti said. The executive noted that loss rates on new home loans have returned to pre-housing crisis levels of around 1 percent, down from around 3 percent to 4 percent during the worst of the downturn. Minetti said that Discover’s customer base could provide fertile ground for home equity loans, noting that about 80 percent of the company’s customers are homeowners. Shares of Discover ended regular trading up 29 cents at $42.13. The stock has climbed about 9 percent this year.
BOSTON – The stock market keeps pushing higher. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed to a record last week, finally recovering to surpass its October 2007 high. The momentum continued as stocks piled on more gains in the last week. To the managers of a select group of mutual funds, that’s not a big deal. They crossed the recovery milestone some time ago. They needed just two or three years to make up for the losses they incurred after the market peaked in October 2007. That’s quick work, compared with the nearly five and a half years it took the Dow to return to its pre-crisis level of 14,164 points. The Standard & Poor’s 500, a broader index that’s a benchmark for many stock funds, remains about 1 percent below its level of Oct. 9, 2007. Examine the records of the top-performing stock funds since that date, and one thing stands out: Nearly all were unusually successful at limiting their losses in 2008, when stocks plunged 38 percent. Amid a crisis, losing 30 percent was an acceptable result. It’s an accomplishment achieved by the vast majority of the large-cap stock funds with the strongest overall results since October 2007,
from October 2007 to March 2009. It has since gained 119 percent. The takeaway for investors is that limiting losses during market declines can be crucial, because losses have a bigger impact on long-term results than comparable gains. Here’s a look at other top-performing funds since October 2007 in their respective large-cap categories. These funds invest primarily in large U.S. companies, the types of stocks that typically anchor a well-diversified portfolio: YACKTMAN FOCUSED (YAFFX) and YACKTMAN (YACKX): These two funds earned the top results in the large-cap blend category, posting returns of 75 percent and 68 percent, respectively. Yacktman Focused is a leaner version of its sibling, with a slightly smaller number of stocks in its portfolio. There’s plenty of overlap among the funds’ top holdings. They’re also managed by the same teams: Donald Yacktman, his son Stephen, and Jason Subotky. They tend to stick with their favorite stocks for years rather than make frequent trades. For example, both funds have owned shares of Coca-Cola and Pfizer for about a decade. Both possess top-rung 5-star ratings from Morningstar based on past performance. SUNAMERICA FOCUSED DIVIDEND STRATEGY
(FDSAX): This was the top performer among large-cap value funds, which primarily invest in stocks considered inexpensive relative to the earnings they generate. SunAmerica Focused Dividend Strategy posted a total return of nearly 37 percent. Although the fund narrowly edged out its peers in 2008, it beat 98 percent in 2009 and 99 percent in 2011. Brendan Voege has managed the fund since 2006, often holding onto his favorite dividend-paying stocks for several years. Pfizer, DuPont, Verizon and AT&T have been in the portfolio since 2006, for example. With such strong results since the financial crisis, these funds have helped investors repair their portfolios much faster than most. Yet caution is advisable for anyone who might think it’s a terrific time to invest in these funds simply because they led their peers throughout the financial crisis and its aftermath. “Investors generally have poor timing,” says John Rekenthaler, Morningstar’s vice president of research. “They come into the market when it’s at a peak. They buy funds based on their 3- and 5-year performance. When the numbers look good, they tend to buy at too high a price.”

For recyclers, there’s money in mattresses By JOE TASCHLER Milwaukee Journal Sentinel WATERTOWN, Wis. – Bob Mudler is about to start doing business with bedbugs, dust mites, drool, sweat and dead skin cells, among others. For the environment’s sake, somebody has to, he says. His company, Midwest Mattress Recovery LLC in Watertown, just opened to the public. Midwest Mattress Recovery is one of only about 30 such businesses in the nation that deconstructs used mattresses then salvages the steel, wood, polyurethane foam and cotton inside them and sells the materials to global commodities markets. “The business model is built on market research, but in large part it’s also built on a vision for environmental sustainability,” Mudler said. “Landfill space is shrinking and Wisconsin is a progressive recycling state.” Based on those two facts alone, he said, “I thought this was a terrific business concept.” Mudler says he has been working to get the word out on his company. “Right now, I am really in the marketing stage and trying to turn interest into business,” he said. The company initially will employ between seven and 10 people. “The interest around the state has been incredible.” There is plenty of potential business out there for the few companies that recycle mattresses. Americans dispose of more than 17 million mattresses annually, according to estimates from the International Sleep Products Association, an Alexandria, Va., trade association. The discarded mattresses end up in a number of different places, including buried in landfills, burned in incinerators, sold in used furniture stores or recycled. “There’s a lot of mattresses. They’re heavy and they’re bulky,” said Cynthia Moore, recycling program coordinator for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “They’re sort of a nuisance all around — and they’re recyclable.” They’re also home to a variety of unsavory critters who take up residence in them over time.

Kyle Kopplin tears apart an old mattress to recycle the various materials inside at Midwest Mattress Recovery in Watertown, Wis. Among them are dust mites. “Beds are a prime habitat,” according to research from the Ohio State University Extension. “A typical used mattress may have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million mites inside,” according to OSU. The mites are microscopic, making them nearly invisible. Bedbugs, on the other hand, are about the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Bedbugs are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep,” the CDC says. It’s not just critters that inhabit mattresses, though. “Night sweats are episodes of nighttime sweating that soak your nightclothes or bedding even when your bedroom isn’t excessively hot,” according to mayoclinic.com, website of the Mayo Clinic. “Night sweats are a common problem many people experience from time to time.” Then there are the dead skin cells.
Humans shed about one-fifth of an ounce of dead skin each week. Over a year, that’s about 110 ounces or about 7 pounds. Assuming a third of the time we are sleeping, the math comes out to about 2 pounds of dead skin a year ending up in or around a mattress. Mudler is undaunted. “There is definitely a yuck factor,” he said. “I’m really not 100% sure what we’re going to encounter with any particular mattress but we do understand there might be challenges with dirt, wetness, bedbugs or anything else that might be associated with these mattresses. “We’re just going to have to deal with it.” Mudler has worked in the solid waste business for 16 years, which makes him experienced with gross stuff. “What might be yuck to somebody else might not be as yucky to me,” he said. His goal is to deconstruct 50,000 to 75,000 pieces a year. “Once we get our process down, each mattress should take about 10 minutes to dis-
Skills gap a priority amid questions By ARTHUR FOULKES Associated Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Few topics are getting more attention from Hoosier political leaders than the state’s employee “skills gap.” From the governor to Republican and Democratic leaders, top elected officials say they want to direct statewide efforts — and resources — to matching employee job skills with job openings. As Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma recently stated on Twitter, a social media website, “We must make every effort to align our job training and education efforts with available jobs.” One way to do that is with the creation of the Indiana Career Council, a 15-member body chaired by the governor and made up of “stakeholders” in workforce development. The measure has the support of Bosma and the Democratic House Minority Leader Scott Pelath. Democratic U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly also has endorsed the idea of fighting Indiana’s skills gap. He visited Ivy Tech in Evansville and Indiana State University in Terre Haute to push for a bill he has introduced in Washington that would direct federal education funding to colleges and universities prepping students for today’s job market. The idea of a skills gap is that there are not enough qualified workers to do many of the jobs now available in the Indiana and U.S. economy. According to Joe Frank, spokesman for the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the gap is partly a result of a changing workplace and a changing workforce. Manufacturing jobs — which make up a big part of Indiana’s economy — are more high tech today, and employers have to try and get “more from less,” Frank said. On top of that, many of today’s workers lack “soft skills,” such as how to do a job interview, prepare a resume
or even show up for work on time. Those factors help create the gap, he said. But not everyone agrees a skills gap even exists and — among those who believe it exists — there is wide disagreement over its size. The Boston Consulting Group published a widely cited study last year that showed the manufacturing skills gap is smaller than most believe, amounting to not more than 100,000 workers nationwide, or about 8 percent of the skilled workforce. A joint survey by Deloitte, a consulting firm, and an affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers, put the figure much higher, estimating there are about 600,000 high-skill positions currently unfilled. In Indiana, at least among those with political power, there seems to be no question the gap exists. Ready Indiana, an initiative of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, recently published a survey of 335 employers, stating it believes 71 percent of employees lack “applied skills,” such as problem-solving, communication, work ethic and professionalism. The employers also estimated 35 percent of employees lack computer-related skills and 25 percent require on-the-job training. “The gap between worker skills and employer needs is certainly impacting our state’s economic growth,” said Ready Indiana Executive Director Kris Deckard in a chamber news release. “Talent is the No. 1 factor in attracting new businesses and growing existing ones.” Although the newly proposed Indiana Career Council has widespread support in the General Assembly, the state already has an agency dedicated to matching worker skills with available jobs: The Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s WorkOne training network. But, according to the Ready Indiana survey, “nearly half of the respondents had either never been involved with (36
percent) or heard of (12 percent) the WorkOne” system. For that reason, the Chamber supports the new entity, according to its recent news release. But addressing the skills gap is “one of the biggest missions that our agency faces right now,” the DWD’s Frank said. “It’s extremely important to the governor and we’re gearing our agency likewise,” he said. In addition to DWD, the state’s Economic Development Corp. is also doing its part to help employers find the employees they need, said Katelyn Hancock, director of media relations for the IEDC. “The IEDC and the DWD are definitely proactively working together to ensure that our skill and training development are aligned with the skills demanded by companies,” Hancock said. “We work with companies to market Indiana to see how we can help the companies grow or locate here, so ultimately they’ll create more jobs for Hoosiers.” And, despite the reported skills gap, employers are bullish on the state’s workforce and jobs climate, Hancock said. “Companies are constantly telling us that the love Indiana’s workforce,” she said. Hancock also said companies find “the workforce is plentiful” in the state. So does that mean there is not a skills gap? “There’s room for improvement, always in training,” Hancock said. “That’s why human capital enhancement is one of the forefront issues for the IEDC and we are partnering” with WorkOne. Most of the employees or potential employees who go through one of the WorkOne training programs are adults who have already graduated from high school or failed to graduate. Indeed, Frank notes there are about 400,000 adult Hoosiers without a high school degree who need basic skills training from the DWD.
assemble,” Mudler said. There is a need for his business, garbage professionals say. “There’s definitely a niche for that,” said Rick Meyers, recycling manager for the City of Milwaukee. “We’re excited about it.” The DNR’s Moore echoed that. “What we hear from local governments, who end up usually having to handle (mattresses and box springs) through their waste programs, it’s a burden,” she said. “I’ve been surprised at how much interest there has been in this.” Solid waste disposal pros say they are not big fans of taking mattresses at the landfill, but they do handle them regularly. “They can be a minor nuisance sometimes,” said Lynn Morgan, spokeswoman for Waste Management in Wisconsin. “As soon as they get wet, they are miserable.” And mattresses just don’t fit into the increasingly automated waste collection process. “Anytime our guys have to pick
up anything outside the cart on the ground, we’re not crazy about it,” Meyers said. Mattresses can also be a pain because one of their major components happens to be springs. “They don’t compact the greatest,” Meyers said. “By their nature they spring back.” Milwaukee residents are allowed to put out a cubic yard of waste before the city adds an additional charge. A queen size mattress is about a cubic yard, Meyers said. Put a mattress and a box spring at the curb on trash day, and you’re probably going to get an extra charge. The city hasn’t embarked on any kind of mattress recycling program because it still costs less to dispose of them in a landfill than it does to recycle them. “Absent it being banned from landfills, it’s not considered cost effective for us to pay that kind of rate vs. what it costs to landfill it at this point,” he said. Midwest Mattress Recovery will charge $10 per piece that it breaks down, so it would cost $20 to dispose of a mattress and box spring. Nearly all mattress recycling businesses charge a fee for taking the mattresses and box springs. That charge is necessary because the recyclable materials that come out of a mattress don’t bring enough money in the commodities markets to cover the cost of deconstructing them, said Ryan Trainer, president of the International Sleep Products Association. “We’re not dealing with gold or platinum. We’re dealing with steel, dirty foam, dirty fiber, old wood and dirty fabric,” Trainer said. “Companies have to charge a small fee.” Municipalities are increasingly charging fees for hauling away bulk items. As that trend continues, Mudler is betting that people would rather pay to have him recycle their mattresses than pay to have them buried in landfills. “What I like to call Joe and Sally Public, who have a couple mattresses in their basement because they didn’t know what to do with them, they are going to be able to come to the recycling center at their convenience and have an opportunity to recycle them,” Mudler said.

Builder inaugurates spring sales offensive Jerry Kuyper SPRING GROVE - With 15 new houses built in 2012, Kim Meier of KLM Builders, wants to maintain that level of success in 2013. One way to do it is with a sales promotion. This month it is a special offer on kitchens. “It is KLM’s Love Your Kitchen event,” Meier said. Buyers who sign a contract before April 1 will receive free kitchen upgrades worth $10,000. “They do not have to close by then, but start the process. It
takes about four months to build a new house,” Meier said. Upgrades can include granite countertops, Whirlpool double oven, built-in cooktop, microwave hood, 25-cubic-foot refrigerator-freezer and a Whirlpool dishwasher. Meier’s subdivisions covered by the offer are Sunset Ridge in Richmond, Thousand Oaks in Spring Grove or Woodland Ridge in Antioch. KLM, which is based in Spring Grove, has been designing and building custom or semi-custom houses for 25 years. Meier said nothing has changed in those years. “Buyers of new homes want the same thing and that is value,”
he said. To get the most bang for the buck, buyers were advised by Meier to be wary. After all, buying a house is one of the smartest financial investments a person can make, he indicated. Price should not be the deciding factor in buying a house, according to Meier. He said many buyers in today’s market are finding that lower prices in standard homes means settling for smaller lot sizes, fewer amenities and lower quality materials. Lots at Sunset Ridge are one-third acre and they are an acre at Thousand Oaks.

• BUILDER Continued from page F1 Prices start in the $180,000s for a house and lot package at Sunset Ridge. “We have eight ranch models and five two-story plans from which to choose,” Meier said. “The ranches start at 1,500 square feet and the two-stories at 1,800 and can go up from there. All our plans come with full basements, Kohler plumbing fixtures, Corian countertops, high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioning. And there are sidewalks plus the sewer and water.” Meier said ranches are a popular design. “We are selling more ranch products everywhere. They are very popular and include special amenities such as 10-foot ceilings and eightfoot doors. The layouts are open and sunny, especially the kitchens and living areas. Ranches may be smaller but they live large. “I will even say this. If you go out and look at used or existing homes for sale, you will not find one floor plan that does what we are building today unless it was built by us in the last year or so. They simply do not exist. Our ranch layouts are really great. Once people see them, they will know why they are so great.” House plans for the one-acre site packages in Thousand Oaks range from the $350,000s into the mid$400,000s for a ranch or two-story. Ranch square footage begins at 2,300 and that of a two story at 2,800. “Of course the size of the house can go up from there and the prices vary, too. We start in the $350,000s for a house and the one-acre lot, but prices can go up to whatever the customer wants to spend. Keep in mind that people want us to do other things beyond the plan. A buyer might want a fivecar instead of a standard three-car garage, for example, or a finished basement,” Meier said. “We have half a dozen ranch and half a dozen two story plans for these one acre lots which, by the way, are all heavily wooded,” Meier said, indicating why the subdivision off Winn Road about two miles north of Route 12 is called Thousand Oaks. “We have a plan library of 50 but we can design from a sheet of paper. A buyer does not need to choose one of our plans We can build from their plans or even change the plans we offer.” Sunset Ridge relies on sewer and water service from Richmond as that subdivision is near the city’s busy Routes 173 and 12 intersection. With its rural location, building plans call for individual septic systems and wells at Thousand Oaks. Meier said his company offers “a quality home built with intelligent design, superior materials, talented craftsmanship and desirable neighborhoods (and) ... will be a better overall value that appeals to a variety of homebuyers. Combine that with a well-respected builder and buyers can expect lasting value for generations to come.” Meier added, “At KLM Builders, we are passionate about delivering the best product possible while main-

We do this by working closely with each client from start to finish, making their dream home a reality without sacrificing quality, workmanship or integrity. The founder and president of KLM zeroed in on his Sunset Ridge community. “From first time homeowners and growing families to empty nesters and retirees, this quaint new home development boasts copious amenities and a wide variety of single-family models.” Meier said KLM offers more ‘extras’ as standard features than any other area homebuilder. “We continually outpace other builders by offering more quality features at no extra cost to the client,” Meier said. “By including the finishes buyers already want in a new home, they can save time and money that would otherwise be spent upgrading their home to meet their standards. ” Floor plans at Sunset Ridge include three to five bedrooms, two to two-and-a-half baths, two- to threecar garage, formal living and dining rooms, great room or family room, solid surface Corian countertops, Kohler fixtures, Silverline windows by Andersen, a 92-percent-efficient direct vent furnace, central air conditioning and a maintenance-free exterior. Buyers can walk through models at Sunset Ridge as well as Thousand Oaks. For information, call 815-6784018 or visit www.klmbuildersinc. com. At Thousand Oaks, a model is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays or by appointment. At Sunset Ridge, models are open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends. Meier said KLM does more than develop subdivisions, although that appears to be the company’s forte. “A lot of people do not even know we have those services. We are full ser-

We are building houses on land other people already own. We will build on your lot or ours. It makes no difference to us,” Meier said. Another facet of KLM is remodeling. “Our position is unique in that people have been in going through our (subdivision) models for years, and buying from us, and then they come back and ask if we will do this or that for them. We are one of the few remaining ones (new-house developers) still around and so we can have this contact with past buyers. Whether people have bought from us in the past or not, we offer our remodeling service to them. We do a lot of it. “We did some nice remodeling projects in 2012, and a handful of those were $100,000 or more. We
did a lot of other projects too, like new countertops in the kitchen or a new floor and updating a bathroom. Customers that we built a new house for 20 years ago come back to us and want us to do the work. “One of our subsidiaries is Sterling Floors based in Richmond. A lot of people do not know this, but Sterling does all our floors and the company can go anywhere there is work to do. We are more competitive than the big box stores. We offer a large variety and can do the work at a few bucks less,” he said recently. “The point I want to get across is that we do more than develop our own subdivisions. We build on your lot and we remodel,” he emphasized. He said rising interest rates and the cost of building materials would influence new housing prices in 2013. “Our vendors are telling us that prices are going up and, when they
do, the cost of our building a house will go up, too,” Meier said. “We do not have the margins either where we can absorb the increases. They will get passed on to the buyer in 2013. The quicker somebody acts, of course, and locks down the price as well as an interest rate, the better off that buyer will be. I think people are beginning to understand that and are reacting accordingly.” He forecasts 25 to 30 sales this year for KLM Builders. “There’s definitely more action out there. Price pressure and the threat of rising interest rates are encouraging people to act today and not tomorrow. And people should remember that when they sign a contract with us, we lock them into a price and an interest rate and that is the guaranteed delivery price and interest rate of their new home, even if the house is not completed until much later in the year.”
Construction begins at Maples community NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Wilcox Communities has begun construction on two single-family ranches at the Maples community in the larger Sonatas subdivision. The ranches with open floor plans include kitchens, tray ceilings, outdoor courtyards and many optional upgrades. These two plans, called the Palazzo and the Portico, provide 1,516 to 1,755 to square-feet of stairfree living space, but have optional rooms available to add square footage. The Palazzo’s optional sunroom with wall-to-wall windows increases living space by 140 square feet. The Portico expands by 685 square feet with the addition of a bonus room. Prices, respectively, are from $207,990 and $222,990. “Our new Portico and Palazzo models are great examples of the design flexibility that is available in our single-family ranch homes,” said Jamie Wilcox, developer and builder for Wilcox Communities. “The one way to stay ahead in this industry is to never sit still. You must constantly respond to the ever changing needs of homebuyers. Our four-season room and bonus room options are our response to customer requests for these unique living spaces.” The single-family Palazzo’s sunroom has oversized windows on three sides. It is useable year-round and accessible from the living room near the front of the ranch, Wilcox said. For families looking for additional living space that could be used as a media room, family room or a private guest suite with bedroom and full size bathroom, a bonus room can be added to the Portico model. The extra room is on the second level of the ranch. Access to the bonus room is provided by a staircase located in the home’s garage entrance area. Both ranches are nearing completion and are available for tour with a sales representative. Each ranch has two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room and formal dining rooms with tray ceilings and a patio door

These plans include a master bedroom suite with recessed tray ceiling and a bathroom furnished with linen closet, an oversized dual bowl bath
vanity with cultured marble top, and a walk-in shower.

Daniel J. Bernstein, a research professor of computer science at the University of Illinois in Chicago, said, “The most important function of a bibliographic entry is to help the reader obtain a copy of the cited work.” The most important function of a bridge entry is to help the player obtain the maximum number of tricks. In this deal, how would you program a computer (South) to make three notrump? West leads a low heart. East wins with his queen and returns the suit to dummy’s ace. One thing should be immediately apparent to South: If he loses the lead before he has taken nine tricks, he will go down. The defenders will cash too many heart tricks. Next, declarer should realize that he needs the club inesse to succeed. And if it is winning, he can collect nine tricks via one spade, one heart, three diamonds and four clubs. The other hurdle is that the club inesse might need to be taken three times. When this is the case, irst lead the lowest card that
can take the trick when the inesse is working. Here, South should irst run dummy’s club nine. Then he runs the queen. Next he plays a club to his jack. And lastly he claims. Note that if declarer starts with dummy’s club queen, East defeats the contract by not covering. Then, if South plays his two, he will have to take the next club trick in his hand. Or, if declarer unblocks the 10 or jack under the queen, East can cover the nine to leave his eight beating South’s two on the fourth round of the suit.

CROSSWORD
HOROSCOPE
▲ ▲
TODAY - Don’t be surprised if you become involved in endeavors that challenge your imagination and creativity during the coming months. Pressure will both stimulate your mental processes and enhance your performance. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’ll have a commanding presence about you that others will find quite attractive. To your credit, you’ll know how to assert yourself without offending anybody in the process. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something out of the ordinary might result from an unexpected chain of events. Chances are it will open up a new pipeline that can produce some quality gains. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t be surprised if you sense that something good is about to happen, even if you don’t know the circumstances. Let positive thinking light the fuse of this exciting cycle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although you’ll get some brilliant ideas, they must not be executed prematurely if you want them to work. Don’t allow impulsiveness to distort your timing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Treat the day’s happenings philosophically and you’ll be able to make molehills out of mountains. Adopting an easygoing attitude will inspire others to act likewise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’re likely to have a slight edge over your competitors. Your ace in the hole will be a reserve of resources, both material and mental, upon which you can easily draw. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Upon occasion, you can be rigid and inflexible when it comes to your views. Today, however, you could surprise everybody with your open-minded nature. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Take matters into your own hands regarding something that you want changed. If it’s not happening on its own, make the transformation yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- The key to getting along with others is being cooperative. You’ll have to set the example -- only then will others treat you as you wish to be treated. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should take pride in your work, regardless of its significance. Additionally, performing to the best of your ability will greatly enhance your self-esteem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because you’re not apt to take yourself or events too seriously, smooth sailing is indicated. You are less likely to be broadsided when you stop worrying about your ego. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The aspects are extremely favorable for you where things of a material nature are concerned. Some financial opportunities will most likely develop from at least two different sources.

WHAT’S GOING ON
PlanitNorthwest.com
FOOD & DRINK Chefs have long known that Guinness, the hearty Irish stout brewed in Dublin since 1759, can 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. Find recipes using Guinness at PlanitNorthwest.com/foodandrink.

TELEVISION The recent, gasp-worthy lip lock between “New Girl” stars Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson was the juicy plot twist that both fans and the show’s cast have been waiting for. 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. Read more at PlanitNorthwest.com/television.

CL native stars in ‘Saving Lincoln’ 5 By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com
G
rowing up as one of 11 siblings in Richmond and Crystal Lake, Tom Amandes was surrounded by creativity. Among the bunch are actors, musicians, designers, writers and filmmakers. “We were always putting on plays at the house, and doing circuses and carnivals and just anything that my mom could think of to keep us busy,” said Amandes, who recently starred as Abraham Lincoln in the independent film, “Saving Lincoln.” It is the latTom est in a string Amandes of film and television roles he’s played since the late 1980s. Available on iTunes, the Salvador Litvak film, “Saving Lincoln,” tells the true story of Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln’s bodyguard. It features sets created from actual Civil War photographs, using a new process invented by Litvak called CineCollage. “It gives the film a very unique look,” Amandes said. “It gave them the ability to produce a big movie about Illinois on a small budget.” Shot in about a month, the actors and actresses portrayed their parts with green screens behind them. The photos were added through computer editing. Acting for the most part with imaginary sets, all involved came from theatrical backgrounds, Amandes said. “In the theater you kind of do that anyway. You’re always pretending the audience isn’t there,” he said. “You have to do that in film as well, but I think all of us having theater experience helped. . . “It is a film that has sort of a theatrical side to it, different than more naturalistic movies.” Amandes, who now lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Nancy Everhard, and their 14-year-old son, Ben, next will appear March 28 in an episode of the NBC series,

Crystal Lake native stars in the Salvador Litvak film, “Saving Lincoln,” which tells the true story of Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln’s bodyguard. The movie is available on iTunes. “1600 Penn,” in which he’ll play a French President. He’s definitely put his creative roots to use. “Growing up in Crystal Lake, you kind of dream that stuff like that will happen,” Amandes said. “I have to say it’s been pretty amazing.” Along with his childhood home, his acting and musical experiences can be traced back to school plays at Crystal Lake Central High School (then Crystal Lake Community High School) and on numerous Chicago stages. He’s a graduate of The Goodman School of Drama, which became the Theatre School at DePaul University. Amandes’ grown daughters, Meg and Nia O’Reilly, remain deeply embedded in the Chicago music and theater scene. The two, along with Sarah Chang, make up the doo-wop rock trio Midnight Moxie (www.midnightmoxie.com). Meg is engaged to Alex Riepl of Crystal Lake, where Amandes attended the couple’s engagement party this past summer. He remains tied to the
area in numerous ways, crediting many of his former teachers for their influence and keeping in touch with his former history teacher, Craig Pfannkuche. Pfannkuche, who since has retired from Crystal Lake South High School, attended a screening of “Saving Lincoln” in Chicago. “Even when I was broke and doing theater in Chicago, he’d come and see the play and take the cast out for pizza,” Amandes remembered. “He was an amazing teacher. He was extremely theatrical as a teacher,” Amandes said. “He really instilled in me that love of history.” That influence has made historical roles, such as Abraham Lincoln and Eliot Ness in the television series, “The Untouchables,” from 1993 to 1994, even more meaningful to Amandes. To take on the role of Abraham Lincoln, he visited Springfield and its museums. He also starred as astronaut Jack Schmitt in the television mini-series, “From the Earth to the Moon,” in 1998. “As a kid growing up
during the space age, doing ‘From Earth to the Moon’ was an absolute dream come true for me to be able to play an astronaut and go to the moon and put on a spacesuit,” he said. Another of his most memorable experiences is the four years he spent playing Dr. Abbott in the television series “Everwood,” from 2002 to 2006. The cast became family, with younger stars actually growing up on set. “That was such a great group. Frankly, to have a chance to do a character over a period of years, four seasons, there’s really nothing else like that in our business,” he said. Amandes also had a recurring role in the series “The Pursuit of Happiness” in 1997, and over the years has had roles in “Spin City,” “Eli Stone,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Big Love,” “Parenthood,” “Scandal,” and numerous other television series. Among his films are “Brokedown Palace,” “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” “Lucky,” and “Bonneville.”

‘Burt Wonderstone’ not so incredible “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone”
HH By JEFFREY WESTHOFF “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” is a comedy about magicians without much magic to it. Steve Carell plays the title character, a Las Vegas headliner with an ego bigger than his billboard on the Strip, someone who must learn humility before MORE finding a happy ending. ONLINE Five years ago, this could Watch Jeff’s have been a Will Ferrell video review of movie; 10 years ago, it “The Incredible could have been a Jim Burt WonderCarrey movie (coinciden- stone” at Platally or not, Carrey has a nitNorthwest. key supporting role as a com rival magician). Burt shares an act with his boyhood pal Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), who is either the Roy to his Siegfried or the Siegfried to his Roy, in case there’s a difference. Their act is billed as “A Magical Friendship,” which clues us into the major theme. “Burt Wonderstone” has the kind of
STARRING: Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey, Olivia Wilde PLOT: Las Vegas’ top magician (Carell), who also is an insufferable jerk, breaks up with his longtime partner (Buscemi), then discovers he has forgotten how to do a solo act. Meanwhile, a guerilla street magician (Carrey) is becoming Vegas’ hottest new star. RATED: PG-13 for sexual content, dangerous stunts, a drug-related incident and language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes script that makes sure the audience comprehends every bit of subtext. Burt and Anton have ruled the Strip for 10 years, but their friendship has frayed, mostly because Burt has become so insufferably big-headed that he has a consent form for his groupies to sign. This fragmentation of their relationship coincides with the arrival of “guerilla” street magician Steve Gray, played by a heavily tattooed Carrey. Carrey’s character is obviously modeled on Criss Angel, whose “Mindfreak” slogan has been switched to “Brain Rapist,” a joke more cringe-inducing than funny. Gray doesn’t perform magic so much as maim himself in public for the sake of his highly rated cable program. Grey’s popularity puts pressure on Burt and Anton to update their act. They attempt a publicity stunt that Burt
fouls up so horribly that Anton finally quits. Unable to maintain the act as a solo artist, Burt bottoms out and finds work demonstrating Bounty paper towels at a Big Lots (product placement is practically integrated into the plot) before landing a gig entertaining seniors at a retirement home. Does any of this sound familiar? The egomaniacal hero so convinced of his own glory he drives away the best friend who helped him make it to the top? The arrival of an even more obnoxious rival? The hero rediscovering his passion after a series of humiliating setbacks? These are the basic building blocks of “Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” (see, I told you this could have been a Will Ferrell movie.) The “Burt Wonderstone” script is credited to Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who became hot comedy writers thanks to “Horrible Bosses.” For “Burt Wonderstone,” they took on the arduous task of going through the “Talledega Nights” script, crossing out all references to NASCAR and replacing them with references to magic. “Talledega Nights” is awfully funny, one of Ferrell’s best. “Burt Wonderstone” is only intermittently funny. You can’t put such talented comedians as Carell, Carey and Alan Arkin (who plays a veteran magician who inspired Carell’s career) in a movie and not get any laughs. Most of the time, the laughs come not from the material but how the cast delivers it.

10 ALBUMS NOT TO MISS IN THE
SPRING By ROB CARROLL – rcarroll@shawmedia.com
1JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
“The 20/20 Experience” (3/19)
Justin Timberlake stepped away from music after releasing 2006’s “Future Sex/Love Sounds,” his second solo album. In January, Timberlake returned with the single “Suit and Tie,” featuring JayZ. The part R&B, part dance song was met with a collective “huh” from longtime fans who might have been hoping for something closer to “SexyBack.” But the song, which also is the irst single from the upcoming “The 20/20 Experience,” may give some insight into what Timberlake’s irst album in seven years may sound like. Longtime collaborator Timbaland once again will have his hands all over this album, so don’t expect this one to go too far outside the box.
2 will.i.am. “#willpower” (3/19) Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am has put out three solo albums with little fanfare. Maybe a Twitter-friendly album with a hashtag in its title will get people to take notice. This album actually should have come out long before this. There was a chance for its release more than a year ago when will.i.am’s single “T.H.E. The Hardest Ever,” featuring Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez, hit radio. But that single received a somewhat tepid response. The singer/rapper/producer did a much better job making an impact with his recent club hit collaboration with Britney Spears, “Scream & Shout.” Both songs will be featured on this album, possibly with other rumored tracks with Kanye West, Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, Ne-Yo, Avril Lavigne and others.
SHELTON 3 BLAKE “Based on a True Story …” (3/26) The new album from country artist and coach on “The Voice,” Blake Shelton comes out the same week as the premiere of the NBC show’s fourth season. A similar strategy was used when Shelton’s Christmas album was released near the season three premiere last year. Leading the way is the laidback first single, “Sure Be Cool If You Did.” The album is already available for preorder on Shelton’s website. The “collector’s edition” of the release will set you back $99.99, but also gets you a rather odd assortment of items including a T-shirt, a coffee mug, a beer growler and a Zippo lighter.
FLAMING LIPS 4 THE “The Terror” (4/2) According to The Flaming Lips’ website, “The Terror” “is comprised of nine original compositions that reflect a darker-hued spectrum than previous works, along with a more inward-looking lyrical perspective than one might expect – but then again, maybe not. It’s up to you, the listener, to decide what it means to you.” Confused yet? Of course, that’s nothing new when it comes to The Flaming Lips, who have been churning out modernday psychedelic rock for nearly 30 years. This album will not contain the song “Sun Blows Up Today,” which could be heard in a recent car commercial that also starred the band. The song, however, can be bought as a digital-only bonus track when pre-ordering the album.
ARTISTS 5 VARIOUS “The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver” (4/2) Tribute albums rarely pay proper respect to an artist. Most of the time they instead leave you wishing you had rather just listened to the original act’s work. But there is something about the list of the names announced for an upcoming John Denver tribute album that at least seems as though somebody put some thought into this project. Dave Matthews, My Morning Jacket, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Lucinda Williams and The Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando are among those who will be provided their versions of songs by the late singer, who died in a plane crash in 1997. How can you go wrong with Jim James of My Morning Jacket singing “Leaving On A Jet Plane?” A portion of the proceeds from album sales will be donated to the conservation organization The Wilderness Society.
RINGWALD 6 MOLLY “Except Sometimes” (4/9) Yes, that Molly Ringwald. “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles” actress gives singing a spin on “Except Sometimes.” The album is a collection of jazz standards including “I’ll Take Romance” and “Sooner Or Later,” a song recorded by Madonna for the 1990 “Dick Tracy” movie. But before you completely write this one off as a bunch of ruckus, you should know Ringwald has some jazz roots. She is the daughter of blind jazz pianist Bob Ringwald. Then again, you also should know the album includes a cover of Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me).”
7 PHOENIX “Bankrupt!” (4/23) French alt-rock band Phoenix grew its following in the U.S. thanks to the excellent 2009 album, “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.” That release had them sounding a little more poppy, and closer to music from The Strokes or The Killers, than in the past. Their synth-heavy hit, “1901,” was a refreshing turn for the band. “Entertainment,” the first single from the new album, falls between Phoenix’s more recent bouncy sound and their more straight-
forward earlier material. If the nine other songs on “Bankrupt!” follow this outline, Phoenix should have one of the better releases in the coming months.
LION 8 SNOOP “Reincarnated” (4/23) The artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg makes his reggae/dancehall music debut with “Reincarnated.” Snoop is allegedly abandoning rap music for a sunny island sound. No, really. There is a slight chance this project could turn out to be more than a quick gimmicky money-grab. Diplo and the rest of the team behind the dancehall-happy Major Lazer albums have been brought in to help, so “Reincarnated” could at least have some choice beats. But if the first single, “Here Comes the King,” is any indication, probably not. Guests on the album include Drake, T.I., Busta Rhymes, Akon and Chris Brown. Oh, and there is a movie accompanying this project, as well.
OUT BOY 9 FALL “Save Rock and Roll” (5/7) So they never technically said they were never ever getting back together. Fall Out Boy returns with their first album since 2008’s commercially unsuccessful “Folie A Deux.” Fall Out Boy played a couple warm-up shows earlier this winter in anticipation of an upcoming tour. Unfortunately for those looking to get a taste of new Fall Out Boy songs, they didn’t play any new material other than the recently released “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up).” The song, also the album’s first single, strikes a nice balance between early and later Fall Out Boy. Maybe they’ll avoid any missteps they made with fans on their last album.
FOGERTY 10 JOHN “Wrote a Song For Everyone” (5/28) Maybe John Fogerty, the voice behind Creedence Clearwater Revival’s biggest hits, was inspired by his time spent working with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl’s Sound City Studios project. Grohl enlisted Fogerty and others to record songs for a recent album and documentary that celebrated the famed studio. Now it’s Fogerty who is getting a little help from his friends. “Wrote a Song For Everyone” features Fogerty working with several other acts to re-create some of CCR’s biggest hits that were written by him. The Foo Fighters lead off the album with their take on “Fortunate Son.” Kid Rock joins Fogerty to sing “Born On the Bayou.” Sure, some of the collaborations sound a little scary (“Have You Ever Seen The Rain” sung by Alan Jackson, anyone?), but this album should at least spark some curiosity. Jennifer Hudson belting out “Proud Mary” has to be worth a listen, right?

• BURT
OPENING FRIDAY
Continued from page 11 Characterization is random. The film opens with the overused device of introducing the hero as a child, showing how outcasts Burt and Anton bonded over magic in their grade-school cafeteria in 1982 (and by the way, if Carell and Buscemi were grade-schoolers in 1982, their ability to manipulate the aging process is indeed magical). We are left to wonder how such a sweet kid could grow up to be such a colossal jerk. Sure, people change over time, but this transformation happened only because there wouldn’t be a movie without it. Also, through most of the story, Carrey’s character exists as a weirdo on the sidelines with no interest in Burt and his imploding career. Then, out of nowhere, he decides to heckle and one-up Burt as he performs a lowly gig at a child’s birthday party. And then there is Olivia Wilde’s character, a magician’s assistant who seems to have been inserted into the fourth or fifth draft of the script because the studio wanted more sex appeal. She makes little sense. She continues to offer Burt moral support even though she can’t stand him, then coincidentally reappears when he is ready to redeem himself. It doesn’t help that Wilde has beautiful eyes but no personality and amounts to a gorgeous dead zone whenever she appears. Director Don Scardino is a veteran of sitcoms, “30 Rock” in particular, with little experience in feature films. It shows. He hauls out a montage sequence before the movie is five minutes old. Scardino does present a few brilliant sight gags, but the commercials spoil the best of them. The biggest reason “Burt Wonderstone” fails is magicians make poor subjects for movies, whether in a drama such as “The Prestige” or a comedy such as this. A magic act must be witnessed live to truly make you wonder “how did they do that?” Movies are the art of fakery. Never mind special effects, editing alone is enough to kill the suspension of disbelief required for stage
The following movies are scheduled to open Friday in theaters nationwide. Read reviews to these movies and more in Friday’s Screen and at PlanitNorthwest. com.
“The Call” STARRING: Halle Berry, Evie Thompson, Abigail Breslin PLOT: When veteran 911 operator Jordan Turner receives a call from a girl who has just been abducted, she soon realizes that she must confront a
magic. Scardino tries to create a sense of magic verisimilitude by asking David Copperfield (who appears in a cameo) to design Burt and Anton’s stage illusions. Then Scardino goes against this instinct by having a CGI dove fly out of a character’s mouth. Granted, “Burt Wonderstone” is not intended as a documentary, but that’s really cheating.

Sci-fi clichés mar beauty of ‘Crysis 3’ By LOU KESTEN The Associated Press “Crysis 3” (Electronic Arts, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, $59.99) is a gorgeous game. Its creator, the German studio Crytek, has lived up to its promises that it will set a new benchmark for computer graphics. On a state-of-the-art PC, it’s spectacular. You probably don’t have a stateof-the-art PC, but that’s OK. I played “Crysis 3” on Microsoft’s 8-year-old Xbox 360, and it still looks pretty good. If only all that beauty was in the service of something more interesting than another alien bloodbath. Actually, “Crysis 3” throws two types of enemies at you: the alien Ceph and the human employees of CELL, a corporation that has built a giant dome over the ruins of New York City. As a supersoldier nicknamed “Prophet,” your job is to get inside Liberty Dome and figure out what CELL is up to. Prophet is equipped with a “nanosuit,” a combination of human and alien tech that has two primary functions, armor and cloaking. If you’re the kind of player who likes to plunge right into firefights, you’ll keep turning on the armor. If you’d rather avoid attracting attention from the Ceph, you can hit the

cloaking switch for temporary invisibility. The nanosuit’s other major feature is a visor that lets you scope out the battlefield before you rush in, pinpointing enemies as well as locating ammunition dumps and fresh weapons. The visor also helps you hack enemy systems, so you can disarm minefields or turn turrets against their builders. Of course, Prophet has the usual assortment of firearms at hand, from pistols and sniper rifles to assault weapons and missile launchers. You also can pick up Ceph plasma weapons, which are somewhat more effective at obliterating the aliens. The silent-but-deadly Predator bow is a little clunkier, but it does let you remain cloaked even while you’re shooting electrified arrows. All this takes place in a New York City that will be unrecognizable to anyone who lives there now. Familiar neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Hell’s Kitchen are flooded or overgrown with vegetation, and there are only
a few glimpses of landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge. Right in the middle of the whole thing is a hydroelectric dam, which makes one wonder: Why is this set in New York? It’s a shame, too, that the story is so clichéd. I don’t think I’m giving anything away by revealing there’s a connection between CELL and the Ceph, and other plot twists are so baldly telegraphed the only surprise is how long it takes the characters to figure them out. And it wraps up with a desperately tedious boss fight that makes some of the best tools in Prophet’s arsenal useless. Fortunately, “Crysis 3” comes with a robust assortment of multiplayer games. There are the expected variations on deathmatch, capture-the-flag and king-of-the-hill, but the real standout is “Hunter.” It’s a clever game of hide-andseek in which nanosuit-clad hunters pursue less powerful CELL guards; any guard that gets killed joins the hunters. The suspense is excruciating. For fans of first-person shooters, the solid online action may be enough to make “Crysis 3” a worthwhile purchase. If you’re a PC gamer who wants to show off your new graphics card, it’s probably essential. But if you’re looking for a fresh approach to video-game science fiction, you won’t find it here.
