Can Assembly agree on pensions? Ill. House, Senate both pass reform bills, but reaching consensus far from certain By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Both houses of the General Assembly over the past several days have approved pension reform plans – one bold and one small. All but one of McHenry County’s representatives in the House voted for their pro-
posal. All three of its Senate members voted against theirs. So the question is, what kind of bill, if any, will make it to Gov. Pat Quinn’s desk in an attempt to reduce the state’s $96.7 billion unfunded pension liability? House Bill 1165, approved Thursday on a 66-50 vote, caps the 3 percent annual cost-of-

living adjustment for existing retirees to only the first $25,000 of income for four of the five state-run pension sys-
tems, excluding judges. It also pushes back the eligibility for COLA increases to age 67 or five years after retirement. Senate Bill 1, which passed Wednesday on a 30-22 vote, would force downstate and suburban teachers to choose between getting a 3 percent COLA or state health insurance once they retire.
Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, was the sole county legislator who voted “no” on the House bill on the grounds that it would not survive an inevitable court challenge by the state’s powerful public sector unions. The Illinois Constitution says that public sector pension benefits cannot be dimin-
ished or impaired, and Tryon pointed out that judges in Arizona and Colorado have recently tossed out their states’ attempts to lower COLAs for existing employees. “The major component piece, the COLAs, has already lost in two other states

Bill would forbid increases when values decrease By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com An effort to limit local government’s power to tax when property values decline again is heading for a vote in the Illinois House. House Bill 89, filed by state Rep. Jack Franks, forbids governments under the tax cap from collecting an automatic increase if their overall On the Net assessed value declines, You can read except by House Bill 89 on voter referendum. It the General Aspassed the sembly website at www.ilga.gov. House Revenue and Finance Committee on a 10-0 vote Thursday. Franks, D-Marengo, tried to get the bill passed in the previous session of the General Assembly. It cleared the House on the second try but stalled in the Senate, and was heavily resisted by local government lobbying groups. “Government needs to be a reflection of its citizens, and when citizens have less, governments should have less. Many governments need to learn that, and some have,” Franks said.

Wake me up when we have term limits Those who know me well or read my column regularly when I was editor of the Daily Chronicle know that I’m a cynic, especially when it comes to government. We are long past the point where anything anybody does in government deserves the benefit of the doubt. There is something behind every decision that goes beyond what’s best for we the people. Money – more specifically, people who have money – decides policy and at what pace that policy is instituted. That’s why it was hard for me to generate much excitement this week when separate pension plans passed the Illinois House and Senate. On Thursday, the state House passed a reform bill, 66-50, that would reduce and delay cost-of-living increases in state employees’ retirement pay. Local state Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo; David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills; Timothy Schmitz, R-Batavia; and Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, voted for the bill. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, voted against the measure. The state Senate rejected a com-

VIEWS Jason Schaumburg prehensive pension reform package Wednesday that included a similar plan to that in the House before approving a scaled-back plan that addressed only the Teachers’ Retirement System. The bill would give teachers a choice between health care coverage during retirement or reduced annual cost-of-living increases. It passed 30-22. Local state Sens. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry; Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington; and Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, voted against the bill. It will be at least two weeks before there is any additional movement on pension reform, because state lawmakers now are on a two-week spring break. Public pension reform has been an urgent matter for at least two years. What’s another two weeks, right? Plus, unions, lobbyists and big donors need these next two weeks
to influence lawmakers on how to proceed. That might sound harsh, but it’s true. Perhaps it’s too broad a belief because, obviously, some lawmakers are influenced more than others – likely those who have been around for a long time. (See Michael Madigan.) Being a lawmaker used to be about serving the people who voted him or her into office. Now it’s about serving lobbyists and the lawmaker’s self-interest. What used to be a calling to public service is now a career. Policy is based on who has the most money, not what is best for the people. One fix can go a long way in fixing our government – term limits. To curtail the influence money and lobbyists have on government, you have to limit lawmakers’ exposure to money and lobbyists. If money and greed are out of the equation, lawmaking becomes about public service again instead of a career fueled by power. Now, there’s an editor likely reading this in Woodstock who will tell you we have term limits that can be
enacted in the voting booth. He will argue that the electorate can limit the amount of time somebody is in office by voting them out. In a perfect world, that is true. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a world where if more than 20 percent of registered voters cast a ballot, we’re ecstatic. Many of those who vote don’t study the candidates or the issues. Many votes are cast strictly along party lines. Look at some of the people our state has voted into office. This is one area where I strongly believe the government needs to be more involved in our lives by introducing term limits. If we don’t allow lawmakers to stay in office too long, then they can’t become puppets of the lobbyists pouring money into their coffers.

GREENSBURG, Pa. – Fifty-two bottles of well-aged whiskey disappeared between his lips, police said, and now it’s time for a western Pennsylvania man to settle up. John Saunders, the former live-in caretaker of a Pittsburgh-area mansion, faces criminal charges for allegedly drinking more than $100,000 worth of the owner’s whiskey. Owner Patricia Hill found nine cases of whiskey hidden in the walls and stairwell of the mansion built by coal and coke industrialist J.P. Brennan after she bought it in 2012.

Chinua Achebe, celebrated Nigerian novelist, dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The opening sentence was as simple, declarative and revolutionary as a line out of Hemingway: “Okonkwo was well known throughout the nine villages and even beyond,” Chinua Achebe wrote in “Things Fall Apart.” Africans, the Nigerian author announced more than 50 years ago, had their own history, their own celebrities and reputations. Centuries of being defined by the West were about to end, a transforma-
tion led by Achebe, who continued for decades to rewrite and reclaim the history of his native country. Achebe, the internationally celebrated Nigerian author, statesman and dissident, died at age 82 in Boston on Thursday after a brief illness.

His eminence worldwide was rivaled only by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Toni Morrison and a handful of others.

Late night: Senate Dems work to pass budget The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats neared approval of their first budget proposal in four years on Friday, calling for almost $1 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade while sheltering safety net programs targeted by House Republicans. The Democrats also would reverse automatic spending cuts that are beginning to strike both the Pentagon and domestic programs. The nonbinding but politically symbolic measure caters to party stalwarts on the liberal edge of the spectrum just as the House GOP measure is
crafted to appeal to more recent tea party arrivals. Approval of the Senate version was expected to come long after dark – after dozens of votes on amendments, many of which were offered in hopes of inflicting political damage on Democratic senators up for re-election in GOP-leaning states like Alaska and Louisiana. Some $1 trillion in new revenue would flow to the government over the coming decade – on top of more than $600 billion in taxes on upper-income earners approved in January – and would be coupled with a net $875 billion in spending cuts.
Those reductions would be generated by modest cuts to federal health care programs, domestic agencies and the Pentagon and reduced government borrowing costs. The budget proposes $100 billion in new spending for infrastructure projects and job training programs. The president will reveal his own overdue tax-andspending plan in two weeks, a plan that will be judged in part by whether it offers new, more politically risky proposals that could form the foundation for a bipartisan agreement between the two houses. Senators braced for dozens of votes during a marathon
session running late on Friday, with some predicting a final vote on the Democratic plan in the pre-dawn hours today. In early voting Friday morning, Democrats rejected the latest attempt to repeal Obama’s landmark health care law by a strictly party-line vote. The Senate has already taken several politically freighted votes, including a move by Democrats to force a vote on the Paul Ryan House budget, which was rejected by a 59-40 vote Thursday night, with five Republicans joining every Democratic senator in opposition.

FAA: 149 air traffic towers 3 dead in Marine base shooting closing under federal cuts By MATTHEW BARAKAT The Associated Press
By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Under orders to trim hundreds of millions of dollars from its budget, the Federal Aviation Administration released a final list Friday of 149 air traffic control towers that it will close at small airports around the country starting early next month. The closures will not force the shutdown of any of those airports, but pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers. All pilots are trained to fly using those procedures. The plan has raised concerns since a preliminary list of facilities was released a
month ago. Those worries include the impact on safety and the potential financial effect on communities that rely on airports to help attract businesses and tourists. “We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports,” FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in a statement. The FAA is being forced to trim $637 million for the rest of the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. The agency said it had no choice but to subject most of its 47,000 employees, including tower controllers, to periodic furloughs and to close air traffic facilities at small airports with lighter traffic.
The changes are part of the across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration, which went into effect March 1. The airports targeted for tower shutdowns have fewer than 150,000 total flight operations per year. Of those, fewer than 10,000 are commercial flights by passenger airlines. Airport directors, pilots and others in the aviation sector have argued that stripping away an extra layer of safety during the most critical stages of flight will elevate risks and at the very least slow years of progress that made the U.S. aviation network the safest in the world. Airlines have yet to say whether they will continue offering service to airports that lose tower staff.

In it, he also apologizes and says he’s worked hard at being a better person, including by doing yoga in jail.

West said a tall, skinny teenager, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money. “He asked me for money and I said I didn’t have it,” she told The Associated Press on Friday.

QUANTICO, Va. – A Marine who worked at a rigorous school that tests Marines who want to become officers fatally shot two of his colleagues before killing himself in a barracks dorm room. The three Marines – two men and a woman – were part of the staff at the officer candidates school on the sprawling Marine Corps Base Quantico in northern Virginia. Their relationship and whether they knew
one another was not clear, though military officials described the shootings as “isolated.” They did not release a motive or the identities of those slain. Around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, authorities found one Marine dead in the Taylor Hall barracks, base commander Col. David W. Maxwell said. A second victim and the gunman were also located in Taylor Hall, a red brick building that can house about 110 Marines. Only Marines who work at the school live in Taylor
Hall. The candidates for officer live elsewhere on the base. It wasn’t immediately clear how much time passed between the killings or how far apart the bodies were. After the first shooting, Marines and their families were told to stay inside over a loudspeaker known as the “giant voice.” The lockdown was lifted about 2:30 a.m. Friday. Base spokesman Lt. Agustin Solivan said everyone else was safe, including the officer candidates.
Shell casings may tie shootout to death The ASSOCIATED PRESS DECATUR, Texas – Shell casings from a Texas shootout with a white supremacist Colorado parolee are the same make and caliber as those found at the home of Colorado’s prison chief after he was killed, according to legal papers. It’s the closest link yet
between Evan Spencer Ebel – who died in the shootout – and the slaying of Tom Clements, who was shot and killed when he opened his door Tuesday evening. Authorities said they found a Domino’s pizza bag and a jacket or shirt in the car’s trunk – a link to another slaying, that of a pizza deliveryman whose body was
found Sunday. In a case that’s been confusing in how the suspect is connected to each crime, the search warrant documents released Friday in Texas brought some clarity. Ebel, 28, is a Colorado parolee with a record of convictions since 2003 for various crimes including assaulting a prison guard in 2008.

Obama warns of ‘enclave for extremism’ in Syria Netanyahu for a deadly 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish flotilla. The call marked a diplomatic victory for the president and a crucial realignment in the region, given Israel’s and Turkey’s shared interests, in particular the fear that Syria’s civil war could spill over their respective borders. Obama said he remains confident that embattled Syrian leader Bashar Assad’s government will ultimately collapse. But he warned that when that happens, Syria would not be “put back together perfectly,” and he said he fears the nation could become a hotbed for extremists.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS AMMAN, Jordan – President Barack Obama warned Friday that an “enclave for extremism” could fill a leadership void in war-torn Syria, a chilling scenario for an already tumultuous region, especially for Jordan, Syria’s neighbor and a nation at the crossroads of the struggle for stability in the Middle East. In a significant step toward easing regional tensions, Obama also brokered a phone call between leaders from Israel and Turkey that resulted in an extraordinary apology from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
“I am very concerned about Syria becoming an enclave for extremism, because extremists thrive in chaos,” Obama said during a joint news conference with Jordan’s King Abdullah II. More than 70,000 people have been killed during the two-year conflict in Syria, making it by far the deadliest of the Arab Spring uprisings that have roiled the region since 2011. Longtime autocrats in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya have been ousted, ushering in new governments that are sometimes at odds with the Obama administration and its Mideast allies.

8WORLD BRIEFS Syrian president vows revenge after bombing BEIRUT – Syrian President Bashar Assad vowed Friday to avenge the death of a senior pro-government cleric who was killed along with dozens of people in a suicide bombing at a Damascus mosque, saying he would “purge our country” of the militants behind the attack in the heart of the capital. Both Assad and the rebels seeking to topple him blamed each other for Thursday’s bombing at the mosque. At least 49 people were killed, including the 84-year-old preacher and his grandson, the government said. Although the cleric was despised by the rebels for his unwavering support of the regime, opposition leaders
condemned his killing. In a statement on Syrian state media, Assad framed the attack as part of a terrorist conspiracy against his government and praised the slain preacher, Sheik Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Buti. “Your works full of truthfulness and belief were the best expression of the essence and light of Islam in confronting the powers of darkness and extremist thought that considers others infidels,” Assad was quoted as saying by the SANA news agency.
Obama appeal to Israeli public carries some risk JERUSALEM – In a landmark speech to young Israelis this week, President Barack Obama delivered an unorth-
odox appeal couched behind warm words of affinity for their country: Urge your leaders to change their ways and take bold new steps to reach peace with the Palestinians. The message, potentially risking the ire of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marked a gamble by the U.S. leader as he searches for ways to restart Mideast peace efforts. With no breakthroughs coming out of the visit on the Palestinian front, Obama must now hope that the power of the presidency, combined with the goodwill he accumulated during the visit, can persuade a still-skeptical Israeli leadership to abandon some deeply entrenched views and get negotiations moving again.

Some districts find creative ways Record $16B crop insurance to trim costs, keep library staff payout stirs subsidy debate • LIBRARY Continued from page A1 schools aren’t. That means during those hours when the aide isn’t there and the media specialist is in the classroom teaching about technology and research methods, the library is closed. “I don’t know what I’d do without a full-time [aide],” said Scott, who was a teacher for 21 years before becoming the school’s media specialist. As libraries have gone more digital and the role of librarians has changed, so have their titles. Many are referred to as media specialists instead of just librarians. Other districts have chosen different ways to cut costs. When Cary District 26 had to cut $6.6 million from the budget, effective August 2010, it decided to consolidate its library media specialist positions into one library media coordinator who rotates among the four schools. But it kept a full-time library aide at each school to
manage the library on-site. That means the libraries stay open full time, Superintendent Brian Coleman said. “We were looking at what was the least impact on students,” he said. “Our learning centers are open for students to come down and check out books with teachers.” Coleman wants to get District 26 to the point where it can have a librarian and aide at each school within the next couple of years, but said that at this point, it’s just not affordable. At McHenry High School District 156, each high school’s librarian took on a class or two in addition to his or her library duties, Pearson said. Pearson taught one English class last year, and East Campus media specialist Angela Welch taught last year and this year. The library wasn’t completely closed when Pearson was in class because he had an aide, but access was limited. The year before Pearson had to take up a class, there were 90,000 student visits to
the library, he said. The next year, when he wasn’t there all the time, it dropped to a little more than 69,000. The effect was even greater on the time he could devote to teachers and cooperative learning. “I think that the two jobs are very, very different,” Pearson said. “When you’re teaching, like teaching English, you’re really concerned about your classroom and your students and making sure they’re successful. ... In the library, you’re trying to help everyone, teachers, students, staff.” To Pearson’s students, he didn’t stop being their teacher when he was in the library, so they were always coming to the library for extra help. That took away from his time for his responsibilities as the media specialist, he said. “I really feel in a school library, the library can be a center of learning,” Pearson said. “I get disappointed when I hear people are cutting that because it is such a service to everyone, students and teachers.”
Franks first filed the bill in June 2011 • TAX REFORM Continued from page A1 Franks pointed out that since his efforts to enact the law started more than a year and a half ago, a number of local governments have voluntarily kept their levies flat and rejected the automatic increase they are entitled to under the cap. The tax cap, or the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, limits the annual increase that taxing bodies can receive to either the rate of inflation or 5 percent, which-
ever is less. State lawmakers imposed the cap on the collar counties in 1991 to rein in doubledigit property-tax increases as home values started to soar. But when home values decrease – a scenario lawmakers never considered – the tax cap works in government’s favor and against taxpayers by guaranteeing that taxing bodies can collect the inflationary increase. Franks first filed the bill in June 2011, citing taxpayer outrage shortly after the first installment of property taxes
was due. Local governments were able to collect 2.7 percent more on the bills due that year. Taxing bodies that did not voluntarily hold their levies flat will be able to collect 3 percent more on this year’s tax bills. The McHenry County Assessor’s Office fielded more than 10,000 assessment appeals for property-tax bills due this year. The number of appeals has broken successive records since the bursting of the housing bubble.
By DAVID PITT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – Farmers will be paid a record $16 billion in crop insurance claims for 2012 because of the widespread drought, a staggering amount that has critics calling for changes to what they say is an inefficient taxpayer subsidy the government cannot afford. While farmers buy crop insurance from private companies, the federal government subsidizes their premiums and picks up the tab for losses over a certain amount. One analyst estimates the federal tab for 2012 will come to about $11 billion. It is the second year in a row that U.S. farmers have received record crop insurance payments as flooding and drought in 2011 was followed by an even worse drought last year. The $16 billion in payments also comes as lawmakers working on a new farm bill have been considering a shift from disaster relief to crop insurance as a more predicable way of protecting farmers from natural disasters. Farmers say they must
have some kind of protection or a year like the past two could put them out of business. Ben Steffen, who has crops and livestock near Humboldt, Neb., said he had insurance to cover three-fourths of his losses last year when drought took about a third of his corn and soybeans and two-fifths of his hay. Farmers can buy insurance that covers from 50 percent to 85 percent of the revenue they would have earned and pay premiums based on their coverage. “It’s not a money-making proposition,” Steffen said. “It’s a way to keep you from
getting buried by a disaster.” The most recent report from the Federal Crop Insurance Corp., released Monday, put the total payout so far at $15.91 billion, but some claims for 2012 are still pending. Even so, last year’s loss represents at least a 47 percent increase from the $10.8 billion record loss in 2011. Taxpayers will pick up most of the cost. The program run by the Risk Management Agency in the U.S. Department of Agriculture is a three-way venture in which insurance companies sell farmers policies to cover crop losses.

How they voted
Continued from page A1 within the last six months,” Tryon said. “I’m really worried that this would pass, we take a budget credit, spend that money, and then lose in court.” State Rep. Jack Franks, DMarengo, said he is confident the bill would prevail if challenged. But that doesn’t mean he likes it. Before his “yes” vote, Franks railed on the House floor that he hated every part of the bill and hated that years of legislative inaction, shorting the pension payments and other factors, has led to this point. However, he said he hated the idea of the system going broke and retirees ending up with no pensions the most. “[The vote] was one of the hardest things I had to do as an elected representative,” Franks said. The House’s reform bill estimates far greater savings – $100 billion over 30 years – compared with the Senate bill, which would save an estimated $18 billion to $40 billion. All three county senators – Pam Althoff, R-McHenry; Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington; and Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles – voted against Senate Bill 1, sponsored by Senate President John Cullerton, DChicago. They instead backed a stronger pension bill by Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Skokie, that mirrors much of the House bill. Senate Bill 35 failed on a 23-30 vote, with three voting present. Duffy said Cullerton’s bill “isn’t even a step forward.” “It’s not pension reform. All it is is a political vehicle [Cullerton’s] using to say he put a check in the box on pension reform, that he did something,” Duffy said. Althoff, like Tryon, has
Pension reform bills advanced this week in the Illinois House and Senate. McHenry County’s representatives in the House almost unanimously supported its bill, and the county’s representatives in the Senate unanimously opposed theirs. • In the House, Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, David McSweeney, R-Lake Barrington, and Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, supported House Bill 1165, which passed on a 66-50 vote. Only Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, voted “no,” saying the bill would not survive a constitutional challenge. • In the Senate, all three local senators – Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, and Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles – opposed Senate Bill 1. They supported a stronger reform bill, Senate Bill 35, filed by Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Skokie.

constitutional concerns. Cullerton’s bill has an unusual provision that enacts lesser cuts should the courts throw out the main provisions. “In my estimation, that [language] sends a clear signal to the courts that part A is unconstitutional,” Althoff said. The House bill excludes judges, like past reform efforts, to bolster its odds of survival should it pass. When former Gov. Rod Blagojevich attempted in 2003 to strip judges of their 3 percent COLA, citing the cost, the judges sued, heard their own case and won. The failure of the Biss bill signals trouble regarding whether a meaningful pension reform measure will make it through both houses. The House bill contains provisions the Senate rejected, and House members may consider the Senate bill inadequate. Reps. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, are among them. “The savings are in the COLA adjustment, and the bill that passed the Senate this week is completely inadequate. It doesn’t do the job,” McSweeney said.
Wheeler said she had hoped the Biss bill would pass, and hopes the Senate will reconsider stronger reforms that the House has advanced. “What does the state of Illinois do if both houses can’t get behind pension reform? I don’t know, but I feel there was good progress this week,” Wheeler said. Lawmakers likely will not take up pension reform again until at least late April. They adjourned Friday for two weeks for spring break, and their main business for the first two weeks they return will be advancing bills on their third and final readings. In that five-week period, Franks pointed out, the unfunded pension liability will grow by more than $500 million – or put another way, almost double the cuts to education proposed by Quinn in his 2014 budget. “The failure to act is not an option. If we do not act, our state pension system will go broke,” Franks said. Under Quinn’s budget, 19 percent of the state’s general fund will go to meet pension obligations. In 2008, pensions took up 6 percent of state spending.

LITH president: Mulcahy Voters in Lake in the Hills will be going in a new direction when they visit the polls to elect their next village president. Two candidates with a wealth of experience who also happen to be friends, Paul Mulcahy and Bill Dustin, are running for the post. Both candidates praised the work of departing Village President Ed Plaza, who did not seek a fourth term. Mulcahy, a 61-year-old retired U.S. Postal Service worker, has been a village trustee for 10 of the past 15 years and chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission for five years. Dustin, 66, runs an advertising specialty and retail Internet business, is a broker for Baird & Warner Real Estate, and owns two greeting card businesses. He has been a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission since 2011. He ran for trustee in 2011, but did not win a seat. Mulcahy, the founder of the Summer Sunset Festival, said he hopes to continue to reduce the village’s tax levy, which has been reduced the past two years. Dustin’s goal is to increase economic growth by attracting businesses to the vacant properties in the village. He wants to encourage residents to get involved in the community, and he would like to add more sidewalks and street lamps to the village. We endorse Mulcahy.
McCullom Lake president: Counley A police officer is challenging the incumbent in the McCullom Lake village president race on the April ballot. Terry Counley is seeking his second term as village president. He is being challenged by Kelly Given, who worked for the McCullom Lake police department from 2006-2009, including a stint as interim police chief. Given, in law enforcement for 15 years, says her experience as an officer allows her to work with the community and has taught her how to deal with issues residents have. She wants to be the voice of local residents, she said. Counley, though, has been an outstanding leader for the village. He is credited with finally, after years of lagging by the county, getting McCullom Lake’s wells and air tested for carcinogens that have been cited in more than 30 lawsuits for starting a brain cancer cluster. After years of inaction on the issue, it was refreshing to have someone finally step up and get the testing done. Initiatives Counley helped get off the ground – such as Neighbors Helping Neighbors, where volunteers assist others in keeping up the homes and yards of people unable to do so themselves – have brought the community together. Counley plans to continue to improve the village, with a priority of securing funding for the final two phases of the stormwater project. He’s already finalized a deal to get a Pace bus stop located in the village. We endorse Counley.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Kaplan in Cary To the Editor: I may have made a mistake by investing in a retail strip center in Cary. Little did I know that Cary was the only town around that does not allow office and service uses in its retail-zoned properties. The economy and this anti-growth policy have caused me to have vacancies that have been financially draining and have caused my property to decline in value. Recently, I was shocked to hear that some Cary Village Board members and one village president candidate do not want to allow office uses in the retail districts under any circumstances. These people are out of touch with reality. This attitude might explain why Cary has so many vacancies. President candidate Bruce Kaplan understands the importance of private property rights, free markets and how to shed the reputation of being unfriendly to business growth. Cary would benefit from voting Bruce its next president April 9. Kamal Dutt Willow Springs

Will miss Trail of History To the Editor: The Trail of History will be ending after this year. How truly sad, and what a loss for the county. Our family has enjoyed the experience for the past five years and have regretted not going sooner. Admission fees at any increase would have been worth it. Thank you to all those involved for your time and effort. It was a “job” well done. If you have not gone in the past, please try this year, otherwise you will have missed a truly interesting and remarkable event. They are few and far between it seems. Monica Vitek Crystal Lake
Driving and mental illness To the Editor: As we discuss laws to redefine the relationship between mental health professionals and their patients, a report on renewing my driver’s license might be pertinent since I need a form filled out by a psychiatrist or other medical doctor to renew my driver’s license. In 2008, my psychiatrist and the local license bureau disagreed about how to fill out the form. That psychiatrist has left the area. And my longtime psychologist with a Ph. D. does not qualify because he is not a medical doctor. So I gave the 2012 form to my primary care doctor. I got my license with no glitches. But then I got a letter from the license bureau in Springfield, saying that my doctor had not filled out the form correctly. I gave the letter to my doctor’s receptionist, who gave it back to me in about a month. When I asked if it usually took so long to complete this form, she said she did not know since this was the first time she had seen the form, although she had been a receptionist for this medical group for several years. The form was now accepted, but there was a new problem: My

Party of compassion? To the Editor: The liberal Democrats like to advance an image of being compassionate toward the defenseless and downtrodden, but here are some facts that contradict this claim. Amanda Collins was a University of Colorado student in 2007 when she was attacked and raped 50 feet away from the campus police station. She had a concealed carry permit but was prohibited from carrying a firearm on university property because of its rules. Apparently, her attacker missed the memo because he was armed. Ms. Collins has martial arts skills but was no match for an armed criminal twice her size. She was unable to defend herself and now lives with the recurring nightmare of that evening. While testifying to the Colorado Legislature, who was holding hearings regarding gun control, Ms. Collins didn’t find much sympathy with the Democrats. She relayed her horrific story and lamented not being able to defend herself with a firearm. Sen. Evie Hudak, a Democrat, dispassionately told her that the statistics on rape weren’t on her side.
8THE FIRST AMENDMENT
Of course, Amanda became a statistic that night. Democratic Rep. Joe Salazar told her she could have used a whistle or gone to a call box for help. To them, a whistle is an equalizing defense against a gorilla with a gun, I guess. It is further proof that liberals only care about their political agenda, not crime victims. They are willing to disarm defenseless women like Amanda to achieve their ideological goals. Caring and compassionate liberals? I think not. Mark Rehorst Woodstock
Renner for Cary parks To the Editor: I am writing this letter in support of Mike Renner for the Cary Park District Board. I have known Mike for the better part of 10 years. “Honesty,” “integrity” and “passion” are the three words I would use to describe Mike – not just in the work he has done for the park board, but also in how he goes about all things in his life. I have never seen him do anything halfway, and he thoroughly researches a topic before completing a task. Working on the park board is a thankless position. People complain about the things they hate and rarely give praise when things go right. Mike has put a lot of time and effort into the position. He truly cares about the future of the town he has called home for more than 20 years. He has my household’s vote, and I hope he has yours. Steve Scheuer Cary
Thorsen’s traits worthy To the Editor: On April 9, the people of Crystal Lake will have the opportunity to cast their vote for three people to serve on the Crystal Lake City Council for the next four years. I have come to know Jeff Thorsen
as a thoughtful and trusted member of the Crystal Lake City Council. When casting his vote in council chambers, Jeff makes decisions with the best interests of the people of Crystal Lake in mind. He has a deep knowledge of the Crystal Lake watershed and is firmly committed to protecting the legacy of the city’s namesake. I have found that Jeff is accessible, approachable and more than willing to listen and discuss alternative points of view on the issues at hand, a trait that escapes many politicians these days. I strongly encourage you to cast your vote April 9 for Jeff Thorsen for Crystal Lake City Council. Mike Shorten Crystal Lake
Walsh a cut above To the Editor: As four-year college tuition continues to rise, the community college system is growing by leaps and bounds. McHenry County College provides an excellent education at reasonable and affordable tuition prices. With this in mind, there is no better candidate for the Board of Trustees of MCC than Molly Walsh. As a former 20-plus-year employee involved with adult education and the conference center, Molly brings to the trustees a keen knowledge of the history, culture and potential of the college. She is a congenial, hardworking, highly educated and financially responsible individual with a vision for the successful future of MCC. Her passion for the environment and concern of ecological sustainability are essential for the future growth of the campus and programs at MCC. With her background and vision, she is cut above the other candidates. Vote April 9 for Molly Walsh to the MCC Board of Trustees. Frank J. Dombrowski Crystal Lake

MAN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT WOODSTOCK – A former Lakemoor man was in custody at the McHenry County Jail on Friday after police said he sexually assaulted a young girl in the mid-1990s. Nathan R. Tuggle, 33, of Buffalo, Minn., is charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated Nathan R. Tuggle criminal sexual assault of a child. His bond was set at $75,000; he must post $7,500 to be released. The alleged victim, who was a family member younger than 13 years old at the time, recently came forward to police, said Sgt. Mike Cisner of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. Tuggle was interviewed by members of the Buffalo Police Department, where he made incriminating statements that led the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office to proceed with criminal charges, according to a news release. Tuggle was arrested in Minnesota, but posted bond and was released. He is accused of violating the terms of the bond by going to Florida, where he was arrested again and then extradited to Illinois. Tuggle was booked into the jail Thursday evening.

county agencies such as the Coroner’s and state’s attorney’s offices with those from local police departments
and health service providers to work toward stemming the heroin epidemic in the county, sheriff officials said. There were 122 overdose deaths in the county from 2009 to 2012, according to the coroner’s office. Of those, 52 involved heroin. Undersheriff Andrew Zinke credited a Sunday Northwest Herald report that detailed the elevated trend of local residents overdosing on heroin,
a drug that can cause both a euphoric and drowsy state, as a motivation for forming the task force. “It’s a major topic in the community, and it is getting the media attention it deserves,” Zinke said. “It is now the law enforcement [community’s] responsibility to make sure we are

Rihanna’s Barrington visit delayed Shaving Singer cites traffic problems as reason for her late arrival to high school By VERONICA JONES vjones@shawmedia.com Squeals of excitement turned into growling stomachs and sighs of frustration as hundreds of students, parents and teachers waited hours in the Barrington High School gymnasium Friday to see Rihanna. The singer was scheduled to visit the school as a prize for winning the Bright Like a Diamond contest, won by the students of BHS-TV. The event, which fell on the first day of spring break, was originally set for 1 p.m., then rescheduled to 2 p.m., but Rihanna didn’t appear until 5:30 p.m. The pop star tweeted at 4:20 p.m., citing Chicago traffic for the delay, after tweeting her arrival in the

When she did arrive, Rihanna thanked Best Buddies, Relay for Life and the Brother’s Keeper club for the work they did and money they raised. “I’m so impressed by you,” Rihanna said. She posed for photos with each of the three groups and left the gym at 5:50 p.m. The contest was judged by Rihanna, and she asked students to make videos showing how their schools give back to the community. BHS has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and works with organizations such as Best Buddies and Relay for Life. BHS-TV also is known for its high-quality productions, and Rihanna chose theirs as the winner.

Most of the money – $208,000 of it – was raised through the fundraiser at McHenry High School West Campus last Thursday. In total, 965 volunteers shaved their heads in solidarity with child cancer patients, setting the world record for the largest number of people getting their head shaved at a single location. Last year, 381 people participated in the McHenry event.

Board wants to move on grant program • AID Continued from page B1 the terms also has yet to be determined, Warwick said. The restaurant, closed since the Jan. 3 fire, is expected to reopen in May, he added. The village has some architectural plans of what it would like its downtown to look like, and has provided that to the restaurant. Part of the work would include replacing the small windows at the front of the restaurant with big windows, Warwick said. However, that would include
tearing out the brick on the front of the building. The proposal also calls for awnings, new signs and tuck pointing, Warwick said. The board wants to move forward with a concept of a facade grant program, with specific details to be determined, Warwick said. A facade grant program would be part of the village’s economic development efforts. Warwick added that the Village Board wants to be flexible, and the grants “can vary depending on the impact of the project.”

Incumbent nixes Johnsburg debates By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – The incumbent village president in Johnsburg does not want to participate in a debate. Resident Maggie Haney called for a debate after her opponent, incumbent Village President Ed Hettermann, declined to attend a joint meeting with the Northwest Herald Editorial Board. “I have no desire to participate in a forum through which she will only attempt to further mislead our resi-
dents,” Hettermann said in an email. “Her motivations are clear and they most certainly do not serve the best interest of the citizens of Johnsburg.” Hettermann said Haney’s candidacy is related to the ongoing litigation between her and the village. Haney offered Friday to take the litigation off the table for any debate and, “in the spirit of cooperation and commitment to the residents of Johnsburg,” not to talk about the case or issue any news releases about it until
after the election. She signed a pledge and asked Hettermann to do the same. In going door-to-door, Haney said, she has been listening to residents talk about issues that concern them, including potholes and garbage bills, and has been collecting surveys. She wants to shift the conversation to those topics, she said. What if a resident asked her about the litigation? “I think it’s one thing for a resident to ask me about it,”
she responded. “It’s another thing for the village of Johnsburg to put a press release on their website.” The village, authorized by Hettermann, put a news release on the village’s website two weeks ago. The release said accusations leveled by Haney at a board meeting the evening before were retaliation against the village for the ongoing lawsuit. Hettermann said the release had nothing to do with the election but was in the interest of transparency.
Some students left before singer arrived • RIHANNA Continued from page B1 DJ Reflex, a performer who said he flew in from Los Angeles, entertained the students before Rihanna arrived by playing dance music and hosting a dance contest. He left the school at 4:30 p.m., tweeting that he had to catch a plane back to Los Angeles. Principal Steve McWilliams continued to tell the audience that she was “around the corner.” He gave away signed Rihanna CDs, bracelets and tickets to Rihanna’s show in Chicago. By 5 p.m. the students were started to show their displeasure and disbelief. Caroline Zagraniozny, a student waiting in the gym, said that she was originally excited but felt frustrated by having to wait so many hours. She said she wouldn’t leave early though. “I want to see who she is,” Zagraniozny said. The crowd began to thin out as students were forced to leave for work or other events. Junior Ruby Luna said she was aggravated. “I’ve been here for six hours. I’ve got church at 6 [p.m.] I was [a fan], but I don’t even know anymore,” Luna said. “I like her music, but I don’t know about her.”

“I’ve been here for six hours. I’ve got church at 6 [p.m.] I was [a fan], but I don’t even know anymore. I like her music, but I don’t know about her.” Ruby Luna, junior at Barrington High School Junior Jacob Bulandr, who came prepared with flowers and a sign asking Rihanna to prom, said he would wait for the star in a sign of true love. “I’m going to wait for her to get onstage, then I”m going to wait for everyone to get qui-
et,” Bulandr said. “I’ve got a bunch of guys here, and we’re going to jump up with my signs.” She saw the sign, but didn’t speak with Bulandr. For those that did get to meet her, they said she was
worth the wait. “I am still shaking,” said Zach Rowe, a senior who works with Brother’s Keeper. “I think she’s absolutely wonderful, and everything she does it great. I’m so happy she came to Barrington.”

Those interested in learning more can search for events in their area at the foundation’s website, stbaldricks.org. McHenry already has set the date for next year’s effort. On March 13, 2014, organizers hope to have at least 1,000 participants shave their heads and have 100 ponytails donated, West Campus Assistant Principal Carl Valliana-
tos said. Although most of the shaved hair isn’t used for wigs, some participants donate their hair to other organizations, such as Locks of Love, which provides wigs for child cancer patients who have lost their hair from cancer treatment. Locks of Love requires donated hair to be a minimum of 10 inches long, so Vallianatos recommended that girls start growing their hair out.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW
LOCAL SHOWTIMES
“Admission” HHH STARRING: Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Lily Tomlin, Nat Wolff PLOT: A tightly wound Princeton University admissions oficer (Fey) visits a rustic alternative high school run by Rudd. He introduces her to the school’s top student (Wolff), who wants to attend Princeton. Rudd then drops the bombshell that the boy is the son Fey gave up for adoption 17 years earlier. RATING: PG-13 for language and some sexual material TIME: 1 hour, 57 minutes VERDICT: Despite the advertising selling this as a romantic comedy, it is as much a drama as a comedy with an ending as bitter as it is sweet. The focus is not so much on the romance between Fey and Rudd as it is on Fey’s midlife crisis and the conlict with her feminist mother played by Lily Tomlin. Director Paul Weitz waits a long while before allowing the story to ind its voice as a drama, but Fey and Rudd are likeable and they make the project work despite its laws. – Jeffrey
Westhoff, The Northwest Herald
“The Call” H½ 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 killer from her past in order to save the girl’s life. RATING: R for violence, disturbing content and some language TIME: 1 hour, 35 minutes VERDICT: “The Call” dials up a shallow thrill ride, but one eficiently peppered with your typical “don’t go in there!” moments. But what once was usual for Hollywood – reliable, popcorn-eating genre frights – isn’t so much anymore. “The Call” is a rudimentary, almost old-fashioned 90-minute escape that manages to achieve its low ambitions. – Jake Coyle, The Asso-
ciated Press
“The Croods” HH½ STARRING: the voices of Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone and Catherine Keener PLOT: The world’s irst prehistoric family goes on a road trip to an uncharted and fantastic world. RATING: PG for some scary action TIME: 1 hour, 32 minutes VERDICT: Cavemen – they’re just like us! – or so “The Croods” seems to be saying with its familiar mix of generational clashes, comingof-age milestones and generally relatable laughs. The animated adventure features a strong, star-studded cast and dazzles visually in wondrously colorful, vibrant 3-D, but the script doesn’t pop off the screen quite so effectively. The simplistic message here is: Trying new things is good. It’s a useful notion for kids in the crowd to chew on, but their older companions may be longing for something more substantive. Still, “The Croods” is both brisk and beautiful, and should be suficiently entertaining for family audiences for whom few such options exist these days. And it might be especially resonant with young female viewers, with a strong, resourceful teenage girl at its center named Eep (voiced by Emma Stone in her usual charming rasp). It’s the prehistoric era, and while the rest of Eep’s family prefers the comforting safety of hiding fearfully inside a cave, with only sporadic outings for group hunts, she longs to see what’s outside those stone walls. Her dad, Grug (Cage), is especially protective, neurotically worrying about every possible unknown and urging the same sort of apprehension in everyone else. But everything changes when Eep escapes and meets a guy named Guy (Reynolds). – Christy
Lemire, The Associated Press
“Dead Man Down” H STARRING: Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Dominic Cooper and Terrence Howard PLOT: In New York City, a crime lord’s right-hand man is seduced by one of his boss’s victims, a woman seeking retribution. RATING: R for violence, language throughout and a scene of sexuality. TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: Suspending disbelief is a part of watching most any action ilm, where bullets ly like birds and mayhem explodes as easily as a shaken soda can. But even in such a contrived movie world, it’s asking far too much for us to accept that Noomi Rapace would be hounded as a “monster” for a little scaring around her left eye. It’s just one of the many silly leaps of logic taken in the lifeless “Dead Man Down,” a ilm that brings together

RATINGS
HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful two lost souls bent on vengeance. The screenplay by J. H. Wyman (“Fringe”) is squirm-inducing in its preposterous dialogue and haphazard plotting. When Victor and Beatrice go out for dinner (shortly before she corners him about killing her assailant, a scene in which she extravagantly spins Victor’s car out of control), they describe themselves as if on a Match.com date. They each admit drinking causes them to swear, and then latly trade two four-letter expletives. The words would be better groaned from the audience.

“A Good Day To Die Hard” H STARRING: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch and Mary Elizabeth Winstead PLOT: John McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces. RATING: R for violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 37 minutes VERDICT: It’s supposed to be a parody of itself, right? That’s the only way to explain this ridiculously over-the-top, repetitively numbing ifth ilm in the “Die Hard” franchise. John McClane used to be a cowboy. Now, he’s a cartoon character – speciically, Wile E. Coyote, given how many times he should be seriously injured and/or killed in this movie. The most he suffers is a scratch here and there, and then he’s ready to pop back up again with a bemused twinkle in his eye and a wry quip. Part of the charm of this career-deining Bruce Willis’ character was the regular-guy, Reagan-era resourcefulness he represented; now, he’s weirdly superhuman. But as charismatic as Willis ordinarily is, even he can’t fool us into thinking he’s enjoying himself this time. “A Good Day to Die Hard” is pointless and joyless, a barrage of noise and chaos, an onslaught of destruction without the slightest mention of consequence. Director John Moore mistakes shaky-cam and dizzying zooms for artistic inesse in his action sequences. But the most obnoxious element of all may be the father-son feel-goodery that occurs in the midst of all this madness. You see, Willis’ unstoppable New York cop has traveled to Moscow to track down his bitter, estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney), whom he believes to be in criminal trouble. Jack is actually a spy working undercover to protect a government whistleblower (Sebastian Koch), and dad has arrived just in time to ruin his mission. Now they must work together – and bond. – Chris-
ty Lemire, The Associated Press
“Identity Thief” HH
STARRING: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet, Robert Patrick PLOT: When a Denver businessman (Bateman) discovers that a Florida woman has stolen his identity and destroyed his credit record, he travels to the Sunshine State to confront her. RATING: R for sexual content and language TIME: 1 hour, 52 minutes VERDICT: After a lengthy setup, this turns out to be a road comedy patterned after the “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” formula of forcing a family man to travel with a weirdo. The attempt is misguided, because McCarthy is an unrepentant crook who doesn’t earn the sympathy that John Candy did. Many other clichés are visited along the way. Despite the script’s slippery grasp on morality, Bateman and McCarthy still ind ways to be funny and charming. – Jeffrey Westhoff, The
“The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” HH 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. RATING: PG-13 for sexual content, dangerous stunts, a drug-related incident and language TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: Carell takes a shot at the “egomaniacal hero needs to learn humility” story that usually falls in Will Ferrell’s wheelhouse. In fact, the plot is basically “Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” with magic instead of stock cars. Laughs are intermittent, and come because stars such as Carell, Carey and Alan Arkin are bound to be funny every so often in spite of weak material. The script recycles generic sequences, and character motivation is random. Olivia Wilde is in the movie probably because the studio wanted more sex appeal.
– Jeffrey Westhoff, The Northwest Herald
“Jack the Giant Slayer” HHH STARRING: Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci PLOT: After farm boy Jack (Hoult) trades the family horse for some magic beans, he accidentally grows a towering beanstalk that could reignite an ancient war between men and giants. He joins a team of brave knights to climb the beanstalk and rescue a beautiful princess (Tomlinson) from the hungry giants. RATING: PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 54 minutes VERDICT: Except for a few moments thrown in to gain a PG-13 rating, this is an old-fashioned family adventure fantasy along the lines of “Jason and the Argonauts” and “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.” Director Bryan Singer (“The X-Men”) plays the material at face value without shrinking from its corny virtues, and the cast charms by playing it straight. The CGI giants are fearsome villains, and visual effects featuring the beanstalk are imaginative. The thrill-packed inale goes on too long, though, which is a symptom of current action movies. – Jeffrey Westhoff
“The Last Stand” HHH
STARRING: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville PLOT: The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff. RATING: R for strong, bloody violence throughout and language TIME: 1 hour, 47 minutes VERDICT: “The Last Stand” is the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie you didn’t even realize you wanted to see. This is the action superstar’s irst leading role in a decade, having left acting to serve as the governor of California and whatnot, and while it may not have occurred to you to miss him during that time, it’s still surprisingly good to see him on the big screen again. He is not exactly pushing himself here. Korean director Kim Jee-woon’s American ilmmaking debut turns out to be an extremely Schwarzeneggerish Schwarzenegger ilm, full of big, violent set pieces and broad comedy. He may look a little creaky (and facially freaky) these days, but Arnold proves he’s still game for the mayhem as he ires off rounds and tosses off one-liners, and the movie at least has the decency to acknowledge that it knows that you know that he’s old. – Christy Lemire, The
Associated Press
“Les Misérables” HH½ STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfreid PLOT: Years after ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman) breaks his parole to become a virtuous man, fanatical policeman Javert (Crowe) continues to hunt him. While avoiding Javert, Valjean helps a dying prostitute (Hathaway) and, years later, her daughter (Seyfried). RATING: PG-13 for suggestive and sexual material, violence and thematic elements TIME: 2 hours, 37 minutes VERDICT: Director Tom Hooper’s interpretation of the blockbuster stage show is a musical in closeup. With his actors singing their
roles “live,” Hooper can push his camera’s right into their faces. This is riveting for the irst hour, then becomes repetitive. Jackman, Crowe and Hathaway are electrifying. This ilm was made for fans of the stage show. Others who don’t know the story going in will be lucky if they know it going out. – Jeffrey West-
hoff, The Northwest Herald
“Olympus Has Fallen” HH STARRING: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman and Angela Bassett PLOT: Disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning inds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack. Using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers. RATING: R for strong violence and language throughout TIME: 2 hours VERDICT: The irst of two similarly themed action dramas set for this year (“White House Down” arrives in June), “Olympus Has Fallen” will put to the test the question of whether American audiences are ready, 12 years after 9-11, to watch, strictly as disposable popcorn entertainment, a ilm in which the United States and some of its most prominent landmarks are devastated by foreign terrorists. The answer almost undoubtedly will be yes, as the tough-guy former agent played by Butler gets to kick a whole lot of badass butt while trying to rescue the president. Although this is the sort of ilm in which the fate of the world hinges, when all is said and done, on the outcome of a one-onone martial arts contest, director Antoine Fuqua’s notably bloody child of Die Hard still generates a fair amount of tension and produces the kind of nationalistic outrage that rock-ribbed Americans will feel in their guts. Foreign revenue should be hefty as well, especially in countries where many viewers will get a thrill watching Washington get the sort of treatment usually reserved for places like Baghdad and Kabul. – Todd McCarthy, The
Hollywood Reporter
“Oz the Great and Powerful” HHH STARRING: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz PLOT: A tornado drops a two-bit carnival magician (Franco) into an enchanted land where he is mistaken for a wizard and thrust into a power struggle among three witches (Williams, Kunis, Weisz). RATING: PG for brief mild language and sequences of action and scary images TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: Sam Raimi directs this reverent prequel to 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” with his usual verve and visual dynamism. From its opening frame, it joins the handful of live-action ilms worth seeing in 3-D. The irst half of the story is superior, particularly when the wizard gains a pair of traveling companions, a timid lying monkey voiced by Zach Braff and a feisty little china doll. These are Gollum-quality CGI characters. When the story shifts to action, spectacle and special effects, it still is dazzling to watch, but it loses heart (and perhaps some courage and brains).

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

brother has a harder time with his father’s new relationship. Still, this complication isn’t especially well developed in the screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky. A related problem is the casting. The best Sparks movie, “The Notebook,” had the strongest cast, with talented newcomers Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams balancing seasoned veterans James Garner and Gena Rowlands. To put it as charitably as possible, the actors in “Safe Haven” are not in the same league. Hough, better known as a singer and dancer than a dramatic actress, is likably spunky, but Duhamel fades into the background, and there are no lively supporting players in the ensemble.– Stephen
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, wrote the script here, too, and direct for the irst time. Comparatively, it is simultaneously amped-up and slapped together. It is both younger and dumber but also even more equal opportunity in choosing its targets; the same people who get tooled on also rise up and enjoy a certain amount of empowerment. Sometimes this balancing act works and sometimes it doesn’t. “21 & Over” is at its best when it’s riding an all-night, boozy high, when it captures a sensation of idiotic invincibility. When it tries to be about something – growing up and being responsible but still maintaining the fun and friendships of youth – it feels a bit strained. – Christy

Minister’s daughter cloisters Post-traumatic stress disorder herself in boyfriend’s room can happen after single event Dear Abby: My 25-year-old son, “Mark,” lives at home, has a full-time job and dates a girl, “Julia,” who is a minister’s daughter. He keeps bringing her to our home on occasions when she’s “sick” or needs to catch an early flight and he needs to drive her to the airport. They are seeing only each other. Julia is in pre-med, and Mark thinks she’s wonderful and smart. Abby, when she’s here, she holes up in his room and never comes out. She’s as quiet as a mouse. I am boisterous, and I get the feeling I turn her off. The last time she stayed over was before an out-ofstate interview Mark was driving her to. Abby, she never even said hello or goodbye. He made her breakfast in bed, and they sat there laughing and eating with the door shut. When she visits, she stays down in our den and ignores the rest of us the entire time, as does Mark. After the holidays, she left without wishing us “Happy Holidays” or even giving us a card. I had a present for her, but didn’t give it to her because I decided I wouldn’t go out of my way for a person who ignores me. I want my son to move out. I do not want this girl sleeping over or staying under my roof anymore. I don’t like her. What should I do? My mother says I should put my foot down and send my grown
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips son out the door. She says I need to grow a spine, but I’m afraid. – Mama In Ohio Dear Mama: You are dealing with two separate issues. Your son is seriously involved with a girl who either never learned basic good manners or who may be pathologically shy. You and your husband should talk privately with Mark and find out exactly what her problem is. You also need to establish some ground rules for when she visits, so you don’t feel shut out under your own roof. Adult “children” live with their parents for various reasons. Some can’t afford to live independently; others are trying to save money to buy a home of their own. I don’t know Mark’s reason and neither will you if you don’t address this with him. Your mother may be right. It may be time for him to move. But what concerns me about what has been going on is the lack of communication and a certain lack of respect. And nothing will change unless you and your husband insist upon it. Dear Abby: This year my school started an international program, so we have students from around the world
who attend school with us. I’d like to learn about their countries and invite them to the youth group I attend, but I’m nervous about talking to them and don’t think I could work up the nerve. I’m also worried about what they will think of me. What should I say and do? – Apprehensive
In Indiana Dear Apprehensive: Please don’t be afraid to reach out. Put yourself in those students’ shoes. If you were in a strange school in a foreign country, wouldn’t you be glad if someone approached you and introduced himself or herself and invited you to an activity, or to their home for dinner? All you need to do is smile and say, “Hi, I’m –.” If you do, you could start a lifelong friendship and expand your horizons further than you could ever dream. Dear Abby: Is it acceptable for one adult to correct another’s English unless asked to do so? My sister does it frequently, and I want to know if it’s rude so I don’t make the same blunder. – Grammatically
Yours In New Orleans Dear Grammatically Yours: It isn’t rude if it is done tactfully, in private and in the spirit of being helpful. If it’s done as a form of one-upmanship, it is obnoxious.

Dear Dr. K: A few months ago I was in a serious car accident. Since then I’ve been incredibly jumpy and have trouble sleeping. My wife thinks I may have PTSD. Could she be right? Dear Reader: Post-traumatic stress disorder – PTSD – is a condition in which distressing symptoms occur after a major trauma. PTSD often is discussed in the context of troops who have served in war zones, but you don’t have to see battle to get PTSD. For example, one of my patients with PTSD, like you, was in a terrible auto accident as a young man. The accident, which broke many bones and caused him to be hospitalized for many weeks, happened at an intersection not far from his home – a drunk driver ran a red light. For years afterward, every time he came near the intersection, his heart raced, he broke out in a sweat and he felt like he was going to die. Finally, he stopped driving anywhere near that intersection. But he still had bad dreams. Fortunately, with treatment, his PTSD became much less of a problem. About 10 years ago, though, just after he retired, the bad dreams came back. His explanation: “When I no longer had to
ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff worry about work, I was free to worry about other things.” An aggressive schedule of church work, book clubs and travel helped beat back the PTSD. A single crisis (such as a serious car accident) or a series of events – as long as they are severe enough – can cause PTSD. You also could have PTSD after: • airplane accidents; • physical assaults, robberies or kidnappings; • fires; • heart attacks and other major physical illnesses; • natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. It’s normal to experience fear, shock, helplessness, stress and extreme sadness soon after a traumatic event. But if you’re still experiencing these reactions more than a month after the event, that might indicate a problem. I’ve put a brief questionnaire on my website. Your responses to these questions might help you determine if you’re suffering from PTSD. When diagnosing PTSD, doctors often look for three things: • Hyperarousal. This is an ongoing state of tension
that resembles a “fight or flight” response to danger. You may experience insomnia, angry outbursts, an exaggerated startle response and hypervigilance. Headaches, trembling, diarrhea and fatigue are common. • Avoidance. You may feel detached or numb. You may be unable to talk about the traumatic event or revisit the place where it happened. PTSD patients also often withdraw from people and social events, particularly those even remotely associated with the trauma. • Re-experiencing. This is the worst symptom. You may have unwelcome and disruptive thoughts about the event that interfere with normal concentration and function. Recurrent nightmares also are quite typical. In extreme cases, you may mentally relive the traumatic experience. Talk to your doctor. Whether or not you have PTSD, you clearly need support to recover from your experience. If it is PTSD, psychological support, drug therapy or a combination should help.

Cruise networks in Russia THINGS
WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT
Saturday, March 23, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz
Tom Cruise has become the first Hollywood star to set up a page on the popular Russian social network Vkontakte. The “Mission Impossible” actor’s page appeared Friday, announced by a message on Twitter saying “See you there!” in Russian. His profile picture is a poster for his new science fiction film “Oblivion,” which comes out in Russia on April 11, two weeks before it opens in the U.S. Cruise’s page is a sign of Russia’s increasing box office clout. Box office income rose 8 percent last year to $1.3 billion, the ninth-highest in the world, and is expected to grow 9 percent this year.

Bennett to record with Lady Gaga
NY could try to lure Fallon show If New York isn’t trying hard to lure “The Tonight Show” back to Manhattan, it’s doing a pretty good impression. A Gov. Andrew Cuomo administration official said Thursday that New York is trying to lure TV shows from California with a proposed tax credit program and the “Tonight” show would qualify if it decides to move back to Manhattan. The show moved to Burbank in 1972. But there is no deal with NBC or the “Tonight” show, and the official wouldn’t say if the state is trying to attract the show. The person wasn’t authorized to comment on any potential deals and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. Still, a bill in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s pending budget looks like it’s all about “Tonight,” without ever mentioning the iconic show that began broadcasting in the 1950s from Manhattan. The bill expected to be voted into law in coming days would provide a 30 percent tax credit for a “relocated television production.” The bill also says it is intended for “a talk or variety program that filmed at least five seasons outside the state ... (and) episodes are filmed before a studio audience of at least 200 more” with a budget of at least $30 million. You don’t have be Carson’s “Carnac” to make the connection with “Tonight.” The state’s ability to help return the “Tonight” show to Manhattan at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Center after decades in California was first reported by the New York Daily News. NBC confirms it’s creating a new studio for Jimmy Fallon in New York.
They haven’t hit the studio yet, but Tony Bennett says he “can’t wait” to record his next album with Lady Gaga. The 86-year-old said in an interview Thursday he and the pop star will record “a big swing album.” He says “we have it all worked out Tony Bennett already on paper.” Bennett and Gaga collaborated on “The Lady Is a Tramp” for his Grammy-winning, platinum-selling 2011 “Duets II” album. He called the 26-year-old a “wonderful person and a great talent.” Bennett released “Viva Duets,” a collaborative album with Latin American singers including Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony, in October. He says he wants to work with Gaga because “she’s quite different.” He adds he’s also impressed with Gaga as a business woman.
Large bids for Beatles autographs Advance bids for a copy of The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album autographed by all four band members are even higher than the auction house anticipated. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions said Friday that bidding for the 1967 album has reached $110,500 and
More celeb news at PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz could surpass $150,000 by the March 30 auction. Heritage originally estimated the album would go for around $30,000. The Beatles signed the album on the gatefold above pictures of their heads. The auction company’s consignment director, Garry Shrum, says there’s no telling when an autograph of such quality will show up again and “people are responding to that.” Shrum says the bidding seems to have “taken on a life of its own.” Bids started at $15,000 and include the buyer’s premium.
Aerosmith’s Tyler might not get privacy The future is looking bleak for a celebrity privacy bill in Hawaii known as the Steven Tyler Act. The proposal pushed by the Aerosmith lead singer would allow people to sue others who take photos or videos of their private moments. But after sailing through the Senate earlier this month following testimony from Tyler at a February hearing, the bill is missing deadlines in the state House, and key lawmakers say they won’t push it through. Rep. Angus McKelvey, chairman of the first of three panels the bill needs to pass to get to the House floor, said he won’t hold a hearing for the measure. “There is zero support for that legislation in the House of Representatives,” said the Maui Democrat, who heads the Consumer Protection Committee. “To say there is absolutely zero support would be an understatement.”

• Five players to watch this season • Preview capsules of all the local teams
After years of competing against clubs that were either new to lacrosse or still testing out the waters, local teams made an important switch. The lacrosse teams in the Fox Valley Conference have joined the Illinois High School Lacrosse Association this season. “We have been talking about moving for a while now, and we
always said if one of us goes then we all go,” Jacobs coach John Bigler said about making sure all of the local teams made the switch at the same time. Formerly, local teams played in the Northern Illinois Lacrosse
Association. The collective move allows the teams to still have a structured conference while having the opportunity to experience a vast range of talent. “We want to keep growing the sport in terms of knowledge in our area as well as the school,” Bigler said. “The switch allows us to ideally compete for the state championship, and if nothing else, we get a chance to compete at a high level and
expose ourselves to what’s out there besides the club scene.” The move came at the right time because the sport is on the upswing. Bigler said he sees 10 to 20 new players come out for the team each year in part because of its growing national attention, but at Jacobs, winning plays a large role in the turnout. The Golden Eagles are especially excited about the move, as

Williams, 30, was released by Denver on March 11 after spending nine years with the Broncos.
Terms of the deal were not announced. The Bears offered Urlacher a one-year, $2 million contract this week, which the 13-yearveteran referred to as an ultimatum. According to the Chicago Tribune, D.J. Williams Williams has a base salary of $900,000 but could earn up to $1.76 million with incentives. Williams was scheduled to make $6
million if he returned to the Broncos. “We see a player that has very good athletic upside who can contribute immediately at [middle] linebacker,” Bears general manager Phil Emery said in a statement issued Friday by the Bears. “He is also a versatile player who has played both outside linebacker positions, giving us flexibility in the draft.” Williams missed nine games last season. He was suspended six
games for violating the NFL’s performance enhancing drug policy and another three games after being arrested for the second time for driving under the influence. He led the Broncos in tackles in five of his nine seasons in Denver, where he played both inside and outside linebacker. “Chi-Town here I come!” he tweeted along with including a photo Friday. “I had a great time in Denver these past 9 years i thank #broncocountry for all.”
MARENGO 5, WAUCONDA 2
Marengo goes indoors, wins opener By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com ROSEMONT – Poor weather and even worse field conditions canceled many games early this season. But after 20 practices, the Marengo softball team finally took the field for a game. The Indians faced Wauconda at The Dome At The Ballpark, an indoor facility with two playable diamonds covered in field turf. As expected, the field played differently than a traditional outdoor diamond, but the conditions didn’t faze the Indians. Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com Most have played indoors before, Marengo’s Bethany Hart heads for third during Friday’s game against Wauconda at and it showed early on in a 5-2 win Friday afternoon. The Dome at The Ballpark in Rosemont. Marengo won, 5-2.
Marengo (1-0) hit opposing pitcher Kayla Wedl for two runs in the first inning as the Indians took advantage of the Bulldogs’ jitters. Shortstop Shae Karsten led off the game with a triple and scored one batter later when Abby Kissack reached on a three-base error. She later scored. “Our M.O. is to come out and score runs early, which is good,” Indians coach Dwain Nance said. “We just held on there, and when we had to score [Veronica Ruelius] came up with a big hit in the sixth, and then we were able to add some more in the seventh.” The Indians held on to a 2-0 lead through the first three innings as
pitcher Bethany Hart held Wauconda in check by allowing one hit through the first three innings, but the Bulldogs tied the score in the bottom of the fourth when Brooke Sefcik picked up two RBIs on a triple. Nance called a timeout after the hit and had a meeting on the mound with his infield. Hart then retired the next two batters to end the inning and stop further damage. “That was our first real adversity of the year,” Nance said. “I just wanted to go out and say, ‘We’re all right,’ and I pulled the infield in and just settled them down.”

pmason@shawmedia.com
Players to watch NICK ZIELINSKI Huntley, jr. The junior won all-league honors last season for his electric play-making skills. He plays long stick midfield, and coach Phil Ryan describes him as “an exciting player to watch on the defensive half of the field but can also put the ball in the net when needed.”
ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino When few pitchers knew his name last year, Eric Aguilera thrived. “I was a bit of an unknown commodity last year,” said Aguilera, who hit .330 with a team-high seven home runs last season after coming off an injury-plagued redshirt year in 2011. Despite being one of the most well-known players this spring in Division I Illinois State’s lineup, Aguilera is off to a hot start again. As a senior outfielder for the Redbirds, the Cary-Grove graduate is leading the team with a .342 average, seven doubles and 17 RBIs. His .500 slugging percentage also leads ISU. “I came in with pretty high Eric Aguilera expectations,” said Aguilera, a first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection last season. “I’m pretty pleased with the start I’ve had. But there are always things to work on and get better at.” This spring, Aguilera ranks second in the MVC in doubles, third in RBIs and fourth in total bases (38). Aguilera’s biggest adjustment has been working against pitchers who now know him well from scouting reports. “I am getting pitched a little differently,” he said. “I’m more of a pull hitter, and I’m not getting too many inside pitches.” Instead, Aguilera is seeing plenty of breaking balls and changeups and fewer fastballs. “Over the course of four at-bats [in a game], maybe five or six [fastballs],”he said. “I’ve been more selective. I haven’t been afraid to take pitches.” After taking only five walks last season, Aguilera has eight walks through his team’s first 19 games. The Redbirds (10-9) earned a signature win March 12 on their spring trip to Florida with a 17-6 victory at Miami as Aguilera went 2 for 5 with three runs. While taking more walks this season, Aguilera has only one home run this spring despite the Redbirds leading the MVC in that category. “I’ll let the other guys keep hitting them, and I’ll take the doubles as long as we win,” he said. Warhawks finish second: Crystal Lake South grad Katie Burton played a key role in D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater’s best women’s basketball season in school history. The Warhawks (26-7) ended their season last weekend with a 69-51 loss in the national championship game to top-ranked and unbeaten DePauw (34-0). The finish was Whitewater’s best since women’s basketball became an intercollegiate sport at the school in 1966, while the 26 wins was the second-best total in a single season. Burton, a junior guard, played in every game for Whitewater, starting 15 times. She averaged 5.6 points a game and 2.6 rebounds. D-III mat standouts: Jacobs grad Dan Olsen achieved All-America wrestling honors last weekend for Wheaton College at the NCAA nationals in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Olsen, a sophomore 184-pounder making
TREVOR DORN Cary-Grove, sr. Dorn scored 67 goals last season as a junior to go with 63 assists. He leads a strong Trojan team that is loaded with seniors. HOLDEN TAYLOR Cary-Grove, sr. Like Dorn, Taylor is a leader. He scored 85 goals and assisted on 28 others last season. Look for him to be a threat offensively once again. ZACH WHITE Jacobs, sr. White will be the glue that holds together the Golden Eagles’ vaunted defense. White is quick, strong and has a knack for making clutch plays. DAN McAVOY Prairie Ridge, sr. Last season McAvoy led the team in points and was second on the team in goals behind senior Ryan Skiermanski. Look for McAvoy to be a threat offensively this season. – Patrick Mason
Jacobs returns 15 from 18-0 team • LACROSSE Continued from page C1 they are coming off a phenomenal season. The Golden Eagles went 18-0 and rode the undefeated season to a NILAX championship, defeating Cary-Grove in the title game. Jacobs will return 15 players from last year’s squad and will look to maintain a high level of performance. “We’re really excited to finally start playing again and see what we’ve got,” said Zach White, senior defenseman and team captain. “Our entire starting defense is coming back and we will be really tough. “I expect our defense to be one of the best in the league. Our offense has a lot of new pieces, but guys are stepping up and have looked excellent
in practice.” Bigler didn’t expect the Golden Eagles to have such a great season last year, but he enjoyed their great success. The undefeated run caught him off-guard because only six players returned from the previous year, but they meshed well and rattled off 18 straight victories. He sees this year’s team as being similar, because the players are comfortable with each other. Many of the core units are coming back and are familiar with one another’s style of play. “We’re anticipating good things,” the sixth-year head coach said. “We’re obviously not expecting an undefeated season again, but we are definitely not rebuilding, not at all.” Challenges to Jacobs this season should come from
Prairie Ridge, which excels on defense and goaltending. The Wolves won the junior varsity NILAX title last season. Also, Cary-Grove looks to be competitive again. Some teams are taking their time, however, and easing into the new level of competition. Both Dundee-Crown and McHenry will only field JV teams this season to test the waters of the IHSLA. “We only have three returning seniors so we decided that with the switch, we would spend this year getting acclimated to the IHSLA competition,” Chargers coach WIlliam Petersen said. “We have large numbers of returning juniors and sophomores so we feel we this format will establish a great foundation for future years for our program.”

Karsten ranks second on the team with a .433 batting average and leads the Warriors in runs scored (23), hits (29) and stolen bases (five). Karsten has started every game this season. Hardie’s .500 on-base percentage is second on the team. She is batting .395 with 14 RBIs. On the team’s recent eight-game spring trip to Florida, Hardie batted .474 with 8 RBIs and a grand slam homer. • Barry Bottino writes a weekly column and a blog about local college athletes for the Northwest Herald.

my best to get her out of her rhythm, and it turned out to be huge for us.” With the lead, Hart went to work on the mound and kept the Bulldogs from getting past first base. She gave up just one hit and added two more strikeouts in the final two innings to bring her total to seven in the game, three of which were looking. She also allowed three hits while helping her own cause at the plate, going 3 for 4. “I trusted in my defense
and I knew that I could be calm and relax out there with that defense behind me,” Hart said. The defense didn’t commit an error and made some spectacular plays. Second baseman Jessica Turner was key as she snagged two potential run-scoring line drives that would have gone for extra bases. Catcher Taylor Carlson also had a big game, picking off a runner on first and throwing out a would-be base stealer at second.

DON’T MISS IT Men’s college basketball: NCAA Division I tournament, third round, Virginia Commonwealth vs. Michigan at Auburn Hills, Mich., 11:15 a.m., CBS Didn’t Michigan just look average against South Dakota State? Of course, the Wolverines have looked average since their first loss of the season. Trey Burke has not been great and he struggled against the Summit League squad Thursday.

CUBS 4, BREWERS 1
Barney’s HR backs Villanueva The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX – All in all, it was a really nice day for Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva. Just don’t ask him about that one walk on his line. Villanueva threw six scoreless innings in the Cubs’ 4-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. “I had that one walk, and I’m furious about it,” he said. “I hate giving up those free runners. I don’t know what the percentage is, but they al-
most always score. It sounds weird, but I’d almost rather give up a home run than a walk because if they’re going to score, at least they’re going to earn it.” No one scored against Villanueva, who allowed five singles and struck out four in his best outing of the spring. The right-hander, who signed a $10 million, two-year contract with the Cubs in the offseason, had allowed eight runs and 15 hits in 112/3 innings across his four previous starts.
Villanueva, who was 13-11 in two seasons as a part-time starter in Toronto, is slated for the last spot in what he believes is a vastly improved rotation for the Cubs. “I think it’s a good mix of veteran guys who have been around a couple teams now so we know how it is,” Villanueva said. “We may not have all the aces, but we have a rotation that will keep us around games. Hopefully, one of us turns into that other ace or couple aces that we need.”

MLB
Baseball sues closed South Florida clinic over banned PEDs for players The ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI – Major League Baseball on Friday sued a now-shuttered South Florida clinic and its operators, accusing them of scheming to provide banned performance-enhancing drugs to players in
violation of their contracts. The lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court seeks unspecified monetary damages from Coral Gables anti-aging clinic Biogenesis of America and its operator, Anthony Bosch. Several other Bosch associates are named in the lawsuit. A phone
message left for a Bosch representative wasn’t immediately returned, and associates previously said Bosch is out of the country. MLB contends the clinic’s operators solicited players to use banned substances knowing that would violate their
contracts, specifically the drug prevention and treatment program that became effective in 2003. That program, part of baseball’s collective bargaining agreement with players, includes a list of banned substances, lays out penalties for violations and imposes testing
requirements. Because of the alleged conspiracy, the lawsuit contends MLB has suffered “costs of investigation, loss of goodwill, loss of revenue and profits and injury to its reputation, image, strategic advantage and fan relationships,” attorneys
Allen Weitzman and Matthew Menchel wrote in the complaint. The lawsuit also could provide a way for MLB to investigate Biogenesis and Bosch through depositions of witnesses and subpoenas to obtain documents.

Madness indeed. How else to explain how a team that gave up a 16-point halftime lead, allowed an opponent to go on a 21-0 run and shot 13 percent in the second half would still win by almost double-digits? “It was a strange game,” first-year Illinois coach John Groce said. “This team has been a fun team to coach, an interesting team.” Groce didn’t see anything quite like that last year when he was leading No. 13 seed Ohio to the round of 16. This time, his team survived its first game despite making three field goals in the second half. It just so happened that two of those would prove to be the baskets that would win the game. “We’ve played in so many games where we had to come back,” Richardson said. “We’re mature players. We’ve been through up and downs throughout our careers.” Paul and Richardson are seniors who missed the tournament last season and teamed up on the two biggest possessions of the game for the Illini against Colorado.
Colorado had fought back from a 37-21 halftime deficit to take a 44-39 lead late in the second. Richardson pushed the Illini back in front with a long 3-pointer from the right wing, then made a steal and fed the ball to Paul, who swished another to make it 48-44. Paul stretched the lead from the free throw line to put the game away in the final minute. Paul finished with 17 points despite shooting just 3 of 12 while guarded most of the game by Pac-12 defensive player of the year Andre Roberson. “We’re a team that never gives up. D.J. was in my ear, just telling me to make plays,” Paul said. The Illini came into the game confident the rigors of the Big Ten had prepared them for anything in the NCAA tournament and used their defensive muscle to build the big early lead. Tracy Abrams ended a 21-5 run over the final 10 minutes of the half with a 3-pointer – Illinois’ sixth of the first half – with 3 seconds left. Everything flipped in the second. Colorado regrouped behind Roberson and the hot shooting of Askia Booker, who made three 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the second half.

ble-digit seed in their past four appearances. The last time they made it to the second weekend of the tournament was in 2007, when they reached the Final Four. “I wish I could,” Georgetown coach John Thompson III said when asked if he could figure out the losses to lower seeds. “Trust me, more than anyone on Earth, I’ve tried to analyze it. I don’t know.” Markel Starks had 23 points for the Hoyas, a trichampion of the Big East regular season and one of the top defensive teams in the nation. That didn’t seem to bother the Eagles much. While Georgetown came in allowing 55.7 points per game, FGCU beat that number with 9:22 to play when it led 57-40. The Hoyas allowed opponents to shoot 37.6 percent from the field, fourthbest in the country. The Eagles shot 42.9 percent (21 of 49) and they held the Hoyas to 37.5 percent from the field (24 of 64).
At Philadelphia, Jamaal Franklin scored 21 points, James Rahon had 17 and San Diego State beat Oklahoma to earn its third NCAA tournament victory. The seventh-seeded Aztecs (23-10) will play No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast on Sunday in the South Regional. The Eagles introduced themselves to the college basketball world with a 78-68 win over Georgetown.

we’re just glad to be here,” said FGCU point guard Brett Comer, who finished with 12 points,10 assists and just two turnovers. “We decided we can play with anybody and we did.” A night after America’s oldest university, Harvard, pulled off a major upset over third-seeded New Mexico, one of its youngest – FGCU’s first student was admitted in 1997 – got one that was even bigger.

12:28 to play. The Hoyas staged a furious rally to get within 72-68 with 52 seconds left but the Eagles went 6 of 10 from the free throw line to seal it. “In the second half, we pushed the ball, we got out, we ran, we made shots, got some alley-oop dunks to energize the crowd. I’m very proud of our players,” said coach Andy Enfield, whose wife – supermodel Amanda Marcum – was shown several times on the arena’s big screen. For those who don’t know FCGU, and that was probably plenty of people as of Friday afternoon, Florida Gulf Coast is a state university in Fort Myers with an enrollment of about 12,000 students. This is FGCU’s first tournament and Georgetown’s 29th, including the 1984 national championship. But the Eagles did beat Miami earlier this season. It was another disappointing NCAA exit for the Hoyas (25-7), who have lost to a dou-

PHILADELPHIA – Florida Gulf Coast sure made an entrance at the NCAA tournament. A school that hasn’t even celebrated its first 20-year reunion busted a load of brackets with a 78-68 victory over second-seeded Georgetown on Friday night in the second round of the South Regional. In only their second season of eligibility for Division I postseason, the Eagles used a 21-2 second-half run to pull away from the Hoyas and then held on in the final minute to become the seventh No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2. Sherwood Brown scored 24 points and Bernard Thompson had 23 to lead Florida Gulf Coast, the champions of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jeff Withey scored 17 points and top-seeded Kansas struggled to put away scrappy Western Kentucky in a 64-57 victory Friday night that avoided what would have been the biggest upset on a day full of them in the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks (30-5), flummoxed by the Hilltoppers’ fullcourt pressure, trailed 31-30 at halftime. Kansas eventually built an 11-point lead in the second half, but couldn’t put Western Kentucky (20-16) away until Ben McLemore’s two foul shots with 11 seconds left in the game. McLemore and Travis Releford scored 11 each for the Jayhawks (30-5), who wearily advanced to play No. 8 seed North Carolina and former coach Roy Williams in the South Regional on Sunday. Jamal Crook scored 13 points and T.J. Price had 12 for the Hilltoppers, who would have made history by becoming the first No. 16 seed to upend a No. 1 seed in the tournament.
Dayton, Khalif Wyatt scored 31 points, finishing the game with an injured left thumb that had him grimacing before his clinching free throws, and ninth-seeded Temple broke with its one-and-done NCAA tournament trend. Miami 78, Pacific 49: At Austin, Durand Scott had 21 points and Miami had a triumphant return to the NCAA tournament. Miami plays Illinois on Sunday.

After seeing a few of my choices, I did ask Son if I should switch them. “Go with it and don’t think twice about it.” That is the problem with making these picks – over thinking. As I have mentioned many times, I live

in a household of sports fans and college basketball is one of Son’s favorites to follow. He knows most of the players on the most of the teams, not just Big Ten and not just Top 20 ones. As long as University of Michigan isn’t one of the teams playing, The Golfer in My Life and I enjoy watching the games with him. But Son is the one of the few people I know that actually has enough knowledge of the sport to make informed picks. Let’s admit it: the majority of us go with how the teams are seeded, if we like the mascot, if the teams colors clash with our skin color or if we prefer one city versus another. And even after we base our picks on this very scientific criteria, we still waver on one or two. My officemate was bummed that he picked Bucknell over Butler but he’d heard good buzz about Bucknell. Follow your gut and don’t over think it! This weekend will be all basketball at our house. The Golfer organizes his pool at work, old school with people filling out their brackets on paper. For us at the paper, our brackets are online so I will be following along, probably a little too closely. The only one not watching will be Daughter. She loves NBA basketball, not college. “That’s not real basketball” she tells the Golfer and Son. Boy, I wish you could hear them tackle that comment!

STRONG EARNINGS BOLSTER STOCKS NEW YORK – U.S. stock markets closed higher on Wall Street Friday, bolstered by strong earnings from companies like Nike. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 90 points, or 0.6 percent, to 14,512 at the close of trading on Friday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose 11 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,556. The Nasdaq rose 22 points, or 0.7 percent, 3,245. Nike reported a surge in quarterly profit, and its stock was the top gainer in the S&P 500. Tiffany topped earnings predictions, boosted by demand from customers in Asia. Advancing stocks led declining stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, with advancers totaling 1,859 and decliners at 1,090.

Jeff Kleinschmidt, owner of Elite Furniture Service, works on a piece of furniture in his McHenry shop. Elite Furniture specializes in furniture repair and restoration of wood or upholstery.
Old is renewed Elite Furniture Service refinishes, restores By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Inside the Elite Furniture Service shop are tables and dressers in the process of being shined and refinished. There are handmade rosewood tables, chairs, buffets, and hutches built in the 1940s, and some old-time radio frames being refurbished. Elite Furniture Service was opened in 1996, and the business has been in his current location at 3421 Pearl St. in McHenry for a decade. Business has grown, and owner Jeff Kleinschmidt is in the process of opening a new shop in Genoa City, Wis., for upholstery work. “We could no longer do upholstery here, we outgrew the facility,” Kleinschmidt said. “We took the upholstery out of here because of the amount of dust and chemicals we have in here. It was hard to have both in the same location.” The finishes are sprayed, so there is a booth with an exhaust vent that sounds like a jet engine when it’s on. All the particulates get trapped in the filter wall, Kleinschmidt said. Inside the shop, there is a machine that takes chemicals, like stains and lacquers, and turns them into clean solvent. The solvent is remixed into the finishes, among other things. “I try to be as green as possible,” Kleinschmidt said. “Just by not throwing your furniture away, and restoring it, is a green move.” “We recycle as much as possible,” Kleinschmidt added. About 70 percent of his clients are repeat customers or referrals. “We’ve weathered the storm, we’ve had to change course a couple of times,” Kleinschmidt said. “At one time we did a lot of repairs for new furniture stores.” People buy a lot of furniture online now, said Kleinschmidt, 43, of Twin Lakes, Wis., who used to live

McHenry. When the economy was booming, people tended to buy new furniture. But with the downturn, people buy quality pieces in second-hand stores, and have shops such as Elite Furniture restore the pieces. People also are bringing pieces that may have been in storage. “We modernize,” Kleinschmidt said. “We take a lot of things that have been dated looking and made them contemporary.” “We do anything with furniture,” Kleinschmidt added. Work in the shop could cost from
$145 to thousands of dollars, Kleinschmidt said. “A lot of people are buying furniture that’s not made as well as the old stuff, so we do a lot of repairs on that,” Kleinschmidt said. Kleinschmidt also is involved in the community. He is a volunteer with McHenry Fiesta Days, and serves as the entertainment director. Kleinschmidt used to be a singer in a band and uses his connections to book bands for the annual festival. It is something he has done for 10 years. “I have a lot of friends who are professional musicians who are in the business,” Kleinschmidt said. “I know people and they help me. It helps a lot.” Kleinschmidt runs the stage during the festival. During the Fiesta Days weekend, he works about 40 hours, but says he is part of a team. “There are a ton of great volunteers,” Kleinschmidt said.
‘Root for Earth’ at Cary Goddard School CARY – To plant seeds of environmental awareness in the community, The Goddard School, 801 Georgetown Drive, Cary, is hosting Root for Earth, a week-long celebration of conservation that features a variety of activities to promote a healthier Earth for future generations. The celebration kicks off on Earth Day, April 22, with a flip of the switch at 10 a.m. for “Light’s Off.” Goddard School children will join nearly 400 Goddard Schools nationwide in turning off all nonessential lighting for one hour. In addition, the children will participate in environmentally friendly activities throughout the week. Root for Earth provides an opportunity to teach children about environmental issues early so they grow into environmentally conscious adults.

The cash register rings its last sale By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer NEW YORK – Ka-ching! The cash register may be on its final sale. Stores across the country are ditching the old-fashioned, clunky machines and having salespeople – and even shoppers themselves – ring up sales on smartphones and tablet computers. Barneys New York, a luxury retailer, this year plans to use iPads or iPod Touch devices for credit and debit card purchases in seven of its nearly two
dozen regular-price stores. Urban Outfitters, a teen clothing chain, ordered its last traditional register last fall and plans to go completely mobile one day. And Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, is testing a “Scan & Go” app that lets customers scan their items as they shop. “The traditional cash register is heading toward obsolescence,” said Danielle Vitale, chief operating officer of Barneys New York. That the cash register is getting the boot is no surprise. The writing has been on the wall for a long time for the iconic
machine, which was created in the late 1800s. The register was essential in nearly every retail location by 1915, but it now seems outdated in a world in which smartphones and tablets increasingly are replacing everything from books to ATMs to cameras. Stores like smartphones and tablets because they take up less floor space than registers and free up cashiers to help customers instead of being tethered to one spot. AP photo

Investing strategies for an evolving market
Tiffany net income rises less than 1%
From the collapse of the technology bubble in the early 2000s to the subprime lending meltdown that started in 2008, the markets have been anything but predictable. Case in point: The political fight over U.S. debt policies in 2011 roiled the markets and led to an unprecedented downgrade of the nation’s credit. We’ve seen two big pullbacks in the stock market within the last 10 years, and investors are justifiably fearful that the same thing could happen again. Fortunately, investors can use two key strategies to manage their savings in the midst of an unpredictable market. The important thing is to stick to the fundamentals.
By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer NEW YORK – Tiffany says its fourth-quarter net income edged up less than 1 percent, but still beat Wall Street predictions as strong customer demand in Asia for its pricey baubles offset weakness in the U.S. The upscale jewelry company also offered an annual sales outlook that topped analysts’ estimates. The results, which include the critical holiday season, show Tiffany’s resilience even as it faces challenges in the U.S. and a fiscal crisis in Europe. For the quarter ended Jan. 31, Tiffany earned $179.6 million, or $1.40 per share. Revenue rose 4 percent to $1.24 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of $1.36 per share on $1.25 billion in revenue. “While financial results in fiscal 2012 were disappointing due to lower-than expected sales growth and pressures on gross margin, we continued to maintain a longer term focus on strengthening global awareness of the Tiffany & Co. brand,” Michael J. Kowalski, Tiffany’s chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement. Total sales in the Americas region increased 2 percent to $620 million in the fourth quarter and 2 percent to $1.8 billion in the full year. The area represents 48 percent of last year’s global revenue. Revenue at stores open at least a year declined 2 percent in both the quarter and full year on a constant exchange rate basis. Sales in the New York flagship store dropped 3 percent in both the quarter and full year, while that figure dropped 2 percent for its branch locations for both periods. In the Asia-Pacific region, total sales rose 13 percent to $254 million in the fourth quarter and 8 percent to $810 million in the full year.
It’s very difficult for individual investors to time the market. Instead, they should think about accumulating assets over a long period of time. This buy-and-hold philosophy may be difficult to follow – particularly during volatile periods in the market. But financial markets often make considerable gains in the months and years following a downturn, and investors who stay on the sidelines and out of the stock market, for example, won’t fully benefit from those gains. Investing for the long haul got a bad rap after the technology bubble burst and after the 2008 downturn. But it’s a strategy worth believing in.
LOCAL FINANCE Patrick S. O’Connor It’s extremely difficult – if not impossible – to accurately predict the direction in which financial markets are heading. Studies have shown that investors who try to time their jumps in and out of the stock market are often rewarded with subpar performance. For example, a recent study by research firm DALBAR Inc. titled “Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior: Helping Investors Change Behavior to Capture Alpha,” noted that the average equity fund investor only earned an average annual return of 3.8 percent during the 20 years through 2010. During the same period, the S&P 500 Index gained an average return of 9.1 percent a year. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged weighted index of 500 stocks providing a broad indicator of price movement. A primary reason for that investor underperformance, according to DALBAR, was investors’ habit of moving in and out of the market at the wrong times. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Think long term Investors face a constant barrage of financial news and advice. From websites and newspapers to 24-hour cable news programs, recent market developments are sliced, diced and analyzed in granular detail. But that doesn’t mean you need to react to every breaking news item scrolling across the bottom of your TV screen. In fact, making investment decisions based on day-to-day changes in the markets may actually move you further away from your financial goals.
Review your asset allocation
register, which innovated retail as we know it. The first register was invented following the Civil War by a little known saloon owner. Before then, most store owners were in the dark about whether or not they were making a profit, and many suffered since it was easy for sales clerks to steal from the cash drawer unnoticed. But by 1915, cash registers were ubiquitous in stores across the country, with more than 1.5 million sold by then. More recently, stores have been looking for ways to modernize checkout. Since 2003, self-checkout areas that enable customers to scan and bag their own merchandise have become commonplace in grocery and other stores. But recently, there’s been a push to go a step further: Stores now are taking their cue from the success of Apple Inc., the nation’s most profitable retailer, which went to mobile checkout in its stores in 2006. Take upscale handbag maker Coach, which is using iPod Touch devices at half of its 189 factory outlet stores. The company also is testing them in a handful of its 350 regular stores. The move has enabled Coach to start slimming down its registers to the size of small podiums, leaving extra space that is equivalent to three days of product and a display table for the average store, said Francine Della
• REGISTER Continued from page E1 They also are cheaper: For instance, iPads with accessories like credit card readers can cost a store $1,500, compared with $4,000 for a register. And Americans increasingly want the same speedy service in physical stores that they get from shopping online. “Consumers want the retailer to bring the register to them,” said Lori Schafer, executive adviser at SAS Institute Inc., which creates software for major retailers. J.C. Penney, a mid-price department-store chain, said the response by customers has been great since it started rolling out iPod Touch devices late last year in its 1,100 stores. The goal is to have one in the hands of every salesperson by May. The company said that about a quarter of purchases at its stores nationwide now come from an iPod Touch. On a recent Thursday afternoon at a Penney store in the Manhattan borough of New York City, Debbie Guastella, 55, marveled after a saleswoman rang up three shirts she was buying on an iPod Touch. “I think it’s great,” said Guastella, who lives in Huntington, N.Y. “The faster the better.” It’s been a long fall for the cash
target allocation. For example, if stocks have performed poorly and bonds have performed well in recent months, you may find that stocks make up too small a portion of your portfolio while your bond stake has grown too large. Left unchecked, that unbalanced portfolio may be too conservative to keep you on track to reach long-term financial goals such as retirement. Remember, asset allocation cannot totally eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. To help manage market volatility and assess opportunities that might arise, you should meet with your financial adviser at least once a year to review your portfolio and rebalance your asset allocation if market moves have thrown it off-kilter. In highly volatile markets, you may want to schedule a second yearly review.
Adopting a long-term investment perspective doesn’t mean taking a hands-off approach. In fact, it’s important to make regular adjustments to your portfolio. Doing so is not only likely to help keep your investment strategy on track but can also help you take advantage of bargains in the financial markets. Periodically rebalancing your investments requires you to shift your portfolio’s asset allocation – your mix of stocks, bonds and cash investments – back in line with your

Badia, Coach’s executive vice president of merchandising. Badia, who says the additional space will be used for new shoe salons and other purposes, said most importantly, the mobile devices allow store staff to build “a more intimate connection with the customer.” Some retailers have decided to go completely mobile. Urban Outfitters, which operates more than 400 stores under its namesake brand, Anthropologie and Free People, announced in late September that all sales eventually will be rung up on iPods and iPads on swivels located at counters. The company didn’t give a timeframe for when it would go completely mobile. Urban Outfitters had given iPod Touch devices to its sales staff two years ago and the move has been very well received by shoppers, said Calvin Hollinger, the company’s chief information officer in his address to investors. Nordstrom, an upscale departmentstore chain that’s considered within the retail industry to be the gold standard in customer service, also plans to get rid of registers altogether. The company handed out iPod Touch devices to its staff at its 117 department stores nationwide in 2011. And by late last year, it did the same for its 110 Nordstrom Rack stores that sell lower-priced merchandise. Nordstrom, which already has removed
some of the registers at its Rack stores, said it aims to phase out registers by next year. Colin Johnson, a Nordstrom spokeswoman, said it’s too early to draw any conclusions on how mobile checkout has influenced buying, but the company is learning about which technologies work best. “We see the future as essentially mobile,” Johnson said. “We don’t see departments in our store as being defined by a big clunky cash register.” Not every retailer is quick to ditch registers, though. After all, there are still logistics to figure out. For instance, no retailer yet is accepting cash payments on mobile devices. But if they start to do so, where will they put the cash that would normally go into a register? Additionally, sales staff walking around stores armed with mobile devices could turn off shoppers who would prefer to be left alone in aisles. To remedy that, some retailers are training their salespeople on when to approach shoppers — and when not to. For its part, Wal-Mart is putting checkout in the hands of the shoppers themselves. The retailer is testing its “Scan & Go” app, which can be used on Apple devices such as iPads, in more than 200 of its more than 4,000 stores nationwide.

Thank you to everyone who entered my latest Christmas Competition. This was the secondbiggest entry ever (behind 2000, the year with the senryu element), with emails and mail being received from around the planet, which was fun. The best entry came from Craig Cordes of Baton Rouge, La. He inished just ahead of too many people to name here, but who can be found on my website at www.phillipalderbridge. com. Now to today’s deal, which could have the heading “If partner does something weird, do not assume innate lunacy; instead, look for his reason.” West was defending against four hearts. He took the irst two tricks with high spades. What did he do at trick three? When South rebid hearts to guarantee at least a sixcard suit, North was worth a shot at game. West realized that given the point-count, his partner could have only one useful card. If that were the diamond ace, he could shift to a diamond now and defeat the contract. (Note that this does not work here if South
starts trumps by leading low from the board.) However, if East’s card were the heart ace, a different defense would be required. Which way to turn? Eventually West decided that he wanted to try to get into the newspapers. He led the spade queen at trick three. This puzzled East. Why set up dummy’s long suit? There seemed only one logical explanation. So East ruffed with his heart ace. And later West took a trick with the heart jack to defeat the contract. West got into the papers but remained anonymous!

CROSSWORD
HOROSCOPE
▲ ▲
TODAY - If you don’t get upset about not being in the spotlight all the time, you’re likely to find yourself involved in something that’ll be extremely beneficial. Keep in mind the advantages of serving in the rear ranks. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It could pay to take a spontaneous break, especially if there is nothing to prevent you from doing so. Chances are, you’ve already done more than your share at work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This could be a perfect day to work on all those projects that need some finishing touches. You could be unusually good at closing deals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your imaginative and creative instincts are likely to be more pronounced than ever. Take advantage of this and finish all the projects you’ve left dangling. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are times when it may be necessary for you to be frugal and there are times when it’s OK to splurge. You should be able to combine the two extremes without abusing either. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It might be wise to step in and take control of a matter that, in your opinion, hasn’t been handled too wisely. Others will most likely thank you for the intrusion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It won’t take some kind of obvious action to make your presence felt. Function from behind the scenes, where you’re capable of being an effective force. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Social involvements won’t be a frivolous waste of your time. On the contrary, you might be able to do yourself the most good at a friendly gathering rather than a business meeting. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Good tactics and great style could be more significant than usual. The nature of your accomplishment will not be as meaningful as how you go about it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Much can be accomplished, provided you honestly believe in the positive ideas that you espouse. If you don’t, others will easily perceive your doubts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to derive some material benefits from other than your usual sources. It behooves you to begin looking for opportunities in fresh fields. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- To advance a personal ambition, it might be necessary for you to make some compromises when dealing with others. Be pliable for best results. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’re likely to have a slight edge in any competitive situations, mostly because you’ll be far more imaginative than your adversaries.
