Jury selection resumes for retrial Eight selected, four more plus two alternates to go in Casciaro murder case By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Jury selection was set to resume this morning in the retrial of Mario Casciaro, who is charged with murder in connection with the disappearance and presumed death of 17-year-old Brian Carrick more than a decade ago.

Eight jurors were selected Monday. Twelve are needed, plus two alternates. Casciaro, 29, and Carrick both worked at what was then Val’s Foods in Johnsburg. Carrick was last seen walking into the grocery store about 6:45 p.m. Dec. 20, 2002. Casciaro has gone to trial already in the murder case about a year ago, but jurors

failed to reach a verdict. A hung jury was declared, and Judge Sharon Prather called a mistrial. Prosecutors alleged during the last trial that Carrick owed Casciaro for marijuana and Casciaro called in another man, Shane Lamb, for a confrontation that became physical in the store’s produce cooler.

Lamb was granted immunity from all charges related to Carrick’s death, including murder, in exchange for his testimony. When Lamb took the stand, he never said Casciaro told him to punch or otherwise hit Carrick. But Lamb said he did end up with Carrick in the cooler, hitting the teen “like one or two times” and Carrick

“went down.” Lamb, who is expected to testify again as the prosecution’s main witness, said Casciaro told him to leave and he didn’t know what happened to the body. DNA evidence collected from blood found on the scene showed that it was Carrick’s. His body has never been found.

Patti Whelan of McHenry participates in a tai chi exercise class Thursday at Family Alliance in Woodstock. The number of people afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease is expected to reach 13.8 million by 2050, millions more than previously anticipated, according to a new study in the journal Neurology. Exercise is known to help slow the effects of Alzheimer’s.

Senior care industry adjusts as numbers could reach 7.1M by 2025 By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com In hindsight, Jerri Beers suspects it was Alzheimer’s disease that afflicted her grandfather three decades ago. That’s not what doctors called it, of course. Information about the neurological disease that causes progressive memory loss and cognitive decline wasn’t so readily available then. About 90 percent of what we know about the disease has been discovered in the past 15 years, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

“They came up with better ways to diagnose it in people, so just like any other disease – cancer, things like that – there’s more testing, more out there, so you can get a better diagnosis,” said Beers, today the executive director of Fox Point Manor in McHenry, a live-in memory care facility that specifically assists Alzheimer’s patients. A greater aptitude for diagnosing the disease has combined with medical advancements and mixed, in recent years, with an aging population of baby

CHICAGO – Any fix for Illinois’ nearly $100 billion pension mess should include provisions that the state make its full pension payment yearly and address cost-of-living increases and retirement age, Gov. Pat Quinn said Monday. The Chicago Democrat – who’s fought criticism that he wavers on how exactly he wants to overhaul Illinois’ worst-in-the-nation pension system – ticked off his wish list Monday, days after House lawmakers approved a third pension-related bill that’s being celebrated by some as a breakthrough. Quinn, who called the House action a step in the right direction, said he’d like a reform package to also make sure that pensionable salaries mimic the limit set for Social Security. Illinois’ five pension systems are a combined $96.7 billion short of what’s needed to cover promised retirement benefits to current and former workers. Over the years, the state either shorted or skipped pension payments. Quinn said that proposal should include a guarantee that Illinois will meet its annual required contribution. “The state can never ever again not pay what it should pay every year to the pension account. That’s why we’re in

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Cubs I’ve carefully followed the off-season moves of management. I’ve loyally listened to spring training games on the radio. I’ve even got out my vintage Ernie Banks Wilson Ball Hawk Model A2127 baseball mitt and thumped it a few times. But, for the first time in forever, with Opening Day just around the corner, I’m not feeling it. Usually I start the new Cubs baseball season with a sense of expectation and hope. Even beyond the past and above the futility, there always has been a twinge of “Maybe this is the year” and a chill of “We can do it!” But now all I feel is a shudder and a spasm coming from my figurative heart that’s telling me: “Please. No more. I can’t take it.” For some reason, my thoughts keep traveling back to 1908, the year when the Cubs last won the World Series. Sure, it would have been nice to have lived back then and experienced a Cubs championship. But if we take a look at the world of 1908, we Cubs fans can get a perspective of just how long we have been waiting. Did you know that in 1908, Butch

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava Cassidy and the Sundance Kid still were robbing banks in Bolivia? Harriet Tubman, the Moses of the Underground Railroad, and Geronimo, the Apache Indian chief, still were alive. Jimmy Stewart was born that year and Grover Cleveland died (as we all know, he was the president in between Chester A. Arthur and Benjamin Harrison). Also in 1908, Henry Ford produced the first Model T automobile, the Grand Canyon was established as a national monument and Robert Peary set sail for the North Pole. Not to mention that Claude Monet still was painting and Mark Twain still was writing. When you plug in the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series with all those other people and events, 1908 seems like a world away from us. And what if the people who actually experienced the Cubs championship back then looked 100 years into their

past, like we’re doing? Why, they’d be reminiscing about the voyage of Lewis and Clark and the latest symphony from Beethoven. Geesh. I really don’t know where I’m going with this, but looking for some kind of perspective while waiting for the Cubs to finally win is like trying to find a free parking space in downtown Chicago … you can circle around all you want, but there comes a time when you have to admit in your heart of hearts that you ain’t gonna find it. One statistical guy studied the chances of the fans of baseball teams actually living to see their favorite team win the World Series. He found that 1 in every 1.42 adult fans of Major League Baseball have actually seen their guys win the championship in their lifetime. The odds of a New York Yankees fan seeing their team win is 1 to 1. That’s why we hate Yankee fans so much. The team with the second worst chance of winning in all of baseball is the Cleveland Indians, whose odds are 1 in 4.3. The worst odds in baseball? Yep, the Chicago Cubs. But check out

how pathetic we are. The odds that a fan of the Chicago Cubs will live to see them win a World Series is … are you ready for this … one chance in 3,108.6! If you don’t think that’s bad, here are the stats in another format: • Team Fan’s Odds of Seeing a World Series Win • Yankees (Best odds) 1 chance in 1 • Indians (Second worst odds) 1 chance in 4.3 • Cubs (Worst odds) 1 chance in 3,108.6 Yikes. It’s not like I’m giving up, but when you have ancient history beckoning you and mathematical statistics walloping you, it’s awfully hard to keep the faith. Maybe Butch and Sundance were right … I wonder if Bolivia has a baseball team.

8WATER COOLER Is Tenn. Capitol sink for Muslim feet washing? NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sometimes a mop sink is just a mop sink. In Tennessee, legislative staffers and building managers have sought to reassure a few concerned lawmakers that recent state Capitol renovations didn’t install special facilities for Muslims to wash their feet before praying. State officials said a new sink is instead meant to make it easier for custodial staff to fill buckets and clean mops. Senate Clerk Russell Humphrey said he had been approached by two lawmakers to inquire about a new basin, which replaced a utility sink that had been mounted higher on the wall.

Early number sense plays role in math skills By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – We know a lot about how babies learn to talk, and youngsters learn to read.

The findings have specialists considering steps that

parents might take to spur math abilities, just like they do to try to raise a good reader. This isn’t only about trying to improve the nation’s math scores and attract kids to become engineers. It’s far more basic. Consider: How rapidly can you calculate a tip? Do the fractions to double a recipe? Know how many quarters and dimes the cashier should hand back as your change? About 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. lacks the math com-

petence expected of a middle-schooler, meaning they have trouble with those ordinary tasks and aren’t qualified for many of today’s jobs. “It’s not just, can you do well in school? It’s how well can you do in your life,” says Dr. Kathy Mann Koepke of the National Institutes of Health, which is funding much of this research into math cognition. “We are in the midst of math all the time.” A new study shows trouble can start early. University of Missouri

researchers tested 180 seventh-graders. Those who lagged behind their peers in a test of core math skills needed to function as adults were the same kids who’d had the least number sense or fluency way back when they started first grade. “The gap they started with, they don’t close it,” says Dr. David Geary, a cognitive psychologist who leads the study that is tracking children from kindergarten to high school in the Columbia, Mo., school system.

High court takes on new affirmative action case By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court’s decision to hear a new case from Michigan on the politically charged issue of affirmative action offers an intriguing hint that the justices will not use a separate challenge already pending from Texas for a broad ruling bringing an end to the consideration of race in college admissions. To be sure, the two cases involve different legal issues. The University of Texas dispute, with arguments already completed and a ruling possible soon, centers on the use of race to fill some slots in the school’s freshman class-

es. The Michigan case asks whether a voter-approved ban on affirmative action in college admissions can itself violate the Constitution. But the broadest possible outcome in the current Texas case – overruling the court’s 2003 decision that allows race as a factor in college admis- Bill Schuette sions – would mean an end to affirmative action in higher education and render the new Michigan lawsuit irrelevant. If the justices are planning to overrule that earlier decision, “then I would think they would hold this case,” the new

one, and order lower courts to review it based on the Texas decision, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California at Irvine. He is representing students and faculty members in the Michigan case. At the October argument in Fisher v. University of Texas, the court’s conservative justices sounded as if they were ready to impose new limits on the use of race in college admissions. More than five months have passed without a decision, which is not unusual in the court’s most contentious cases. The appeal in the Michigan case comes from state Attorney General Bill Schuette, following a ruling from the

8STATE BRIEFS

Wet Ill. snow should help guard against drought CHAMPAIGN – A climate expert said the spring snowstorm that blanketed much of Illinois brought an unusually heavy, wet snow, and that could help the state to continue to recover from drought. Brian Fuchs is a climatologist at the National Drought Mitigation Center. He said 15 inches of typical Midwest snow has the same water content as an inch of rain. The storm packed an inch of water into just 7 or 8 inches of snow. The U.S. Drought Monitor said all of Illinois is now out of last year’s drought.

His father, Kenneth Johnson, was stabbed multiple times at his home and died later at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

Storm dumps heavy snow on central Illinois By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court justices appeared troubled Monday over whether to stop deals between pharmaceutical corporations and their generic drug competitors that the government says could keep cheaper forms of medicine from American consumers for longer periods of time. Justices heard arguments from the Justice Department against what the government calls “pay-for-delay” deals or “reverse settlements.” Such deals arise when generic companies file a challenge at the Food and Drug Administration to the patents that give brand-name drugs a 20-year monopoly. The generic drugmakers aim to prove

the patent is flawed or otherwise invalid, so they can launch a generic version well before the patent ends. Brand-name drugmakers then usually sue the generic companies, which sets up what could be years of expensive litigation. When the two sides aren’t certain who will win, they often reach a compromise deal that allows the generic company to sell its cheaper copycat drug in a few years – but years before the drug’s patent would expire. Often, that settlement comes with a sizable payment from the brandname company to the generic drugmaker.

CHAMPAIGN – A snowstorm that swept across central Illinois buried Springfield with a record 18½ inches and blanketed much of the rest of region with a foot of wet, heavy snow. Numerous schools closed for the day and highways were in many places were slick with snow and ice. In Springfield, authorities declared a snow emergency after snow fell at a rate of up to 2 inches an hour and obliterated a record that’s stood for more than six decades. The old record for a March 24 was in 1947 when the area got 2.4 inches, said Dan Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Lincoln. The storm packed thunder in areas around Decatur, south of Champaign and Effingham, he said, unloading torrents of snow just like the drenching rain of a summer thunderstorm. “The snowfall rate is enhanced quite a bit,” Smith said. “I mean, you’re talking maybe 1 to 2 inches per hour or less than an hour’s time. So, it can pile up pretty fast.” The sheer volume of snow caught some off guard. “We just assumed it was a typical prediction that wouldn’t necessarily come true,” said Wayne Cerne of Downers Grove, who along with his wife and three children stopped in the state’s capital Monday on their way to Hannibal, Mo. “We don’t

CHICAGO – Chicago must reimburse the U.S. government for $6 million in federal disaster funds the city used to help recoup airport snow-removal costs following major winter storms in 1999 and 2000, a U.S. district judge said in a ruling posted Monday. A few years after the storms, a Federal Emergency Management Agency audit decided Chicago should never have used the federal emergency funds to pay for clearing O’Hare and Midway international airports. The city had argued it was justified using federal

money, in part, because the airports are major aviation hubs and keeping their runways clear of snow ensures air traffic nationwide doesn’t back up. In the wake of both the 1999 and 2000 storms, the White House issued disaster declarations for the Chicago area, freeing up millions of federal dollars for the cleanup. But in his 16-page ruling, Judge Charles Norgle sided with FEMA, saying regular maintenance fees paid by airlines were available to the city and, therefore, it didn’t qualify to draw on the federal emergency money. A message seeking com-

ment from the city’s law department on Monday was not immediately returned. A message for the U.S. Department of Justice, which represented FEMA, was only not immediately returned. The legal wrangling may not be over; the city could appeal. It also could immediately turn to airlines and demand they help the city raise the $6 million at issue – a demand that could prompt further suits and countersuits. The airlines have made clear in filings of their own that they believe they should be liable only for standard maintenance expenses and not for clean-up after declared natural disasters.

have our snow boots – we have to be careful, but we’ll survive.” Other high snow totals were recorded in Pana, in southeast Christian County, which got 16 inches. Taylorville got 13.7 inches, and Decatur recorded 12 inches. The smallest amount was in Hopewell, in Marshall County, which reported 1.8 inches of snow. Only the Chicago area and far-southern Illinois were spared, with little or no snow accumulating. Illinois State Police Sgt. Jose DeJesus said no fatalities or serious injuries had been reported by midday Monday on state highways, but numerous vehicles were reported off roads. Traffic on Interstate 57 near Champaign was at a near standstill. Along Interstate 74 in LeRoy, few cars were moving and commercial truck drivers used the snow packing the road as a cue to take some downtime and refuel, said Ron Kremer, general manager at Love’s Travel Stop. LeRoy is about 15 miles southeast of Bloomington and had close to a foot of snow on the ground Monday morning. “For us, it means we’re slower on the gasoline side but heavier on the diesel, the commercial side, because the truckers want to get off the roads,” said Kremer, who said he drove in from St. Louis early Monday, a normally two-and-a-halfhour drive that this time took more than four hours.

The appeals court, by an 8-7 vote, found fault with the 2006 constitutional amendment to outlaw “preferential treatment” on the basis of race and other factors in college admissions. The provision also applies to affirmative action in public employment and government contracting, but those issues are not being challenged. The appeals court said the constitutional amendment is illegal under Supreme Court rulings from the late 1960s and early 1980s that prohibit placing special burdens on minority groups that want to bring about changes in laws and policies.

Kerry, Karzai bury hatchet in Kabul meeting By MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press

Secretary of State John Kerry, accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham (left), meets with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday at the Presidential Palace in Kabul.

Obama promises to act on climate change

KABUL – Eager to overcome a bout of bickering, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a show of unusual unity between their two nations on Monday. The friendly display came as the U.S. military ceded control of its last detention facility in Afghanistan, ending a longstanding irritant in relations. Kerry arrived in the Afghan capital of Kabul on an unannounced visit amid concerns that Karzai may be jeopardizing progress in the

war against extremism with anti-American rhetoric. After a private meeting, Kerry said he and Karzai were “on the same page” on security and reconciliation issues and brushed aside suggestions that relations were in peril. Karzai infuriated U.S. officials earlier this month by accusing Washington of colluding with Taliban insurgents to keep Afghanistan weak even as the Obama administration pressed ahead with plans to hand off security responsibility to Afghan forces and end NATO’s combat mission by the end of next year. At a news conference after their talks, Karzai told re-

porters that his comments in a nationally televised speech had been misinterpreted by the media. Kerry demurred on that point but said people sometimes say things in public that reflect ideas they have heard from others but don’t necessarily agree with. “I am confident the president [Karzai] does not believe the U.S. has any interest except to see the Taliban come to the table to make peace and that we are completely cooperative with the government of Afghanistan with respect to the protection of their efforts and their people,” Kerry said.

Girl walks to get help after crash By CHRISTOPHER WEBER The Associated Press

By DINA CAPPIELLO The Associated Press

The issue Slowing the buildup of greenhouse gases responsible for warming the planet is one of the biggest challenges the United States and President Barack Obama face. The effects of rising global temperatures are widespread and costly: more severe storms, rising seas, species extinctions, and changes in weather patterns that will alter food production and the spread of disease. Any policy to reduce heat-trapping pollution will inevitably tar- Barack get the main Obama sources of Americans’ energy: the coal burned by power plants for electricity and the oil that is refined to run automobiles. Those industries have powerful protectors in both parties in Congress who will fight any regulations handed down by the administration that could contribute to Americans paying more for electricity and gas at the pump. There’s also the lingering question of how much the U.S. can do to solve the problem alone, without other countries taking steps to curb pollution.

The promise “My plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet, because climate change is not a hoax. More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke.” – Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Sept. 6, 2012. “I urge this Congress to pursue a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change. ...

But if Congress won’t act soon to protect future generations, I will. I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.” – Obama in his State of the Union speech, Feb. 12, 2013.

The prospects Obama has shown he doesn’t need Congress to take action against climate change. In his first term, he struck a deal with automakers to double fuel economy standards. After failing to pass a climate bill through a Democratic-controlled Congress, he proposed rules to control heat-trapping pollution from future power plants. While some liberal Democrats have proposed legislation to tax emissions of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, Republicans controlling the House have pledged to block any and all efforts to price carbon pollution. Democrats from states with coal and oil probably will be stumbling blocks. Obama has more tools he can tap to deal with the problem. The big question is how aggressive he will be and how he will balance expanding domestic energy production with his climate goals. On the one hand, he says he supports an “all of the above” energy plan that uses all of the nation’s energy resources. But should he proceed with regulations to control pollution from existing coal-fired power plants, the single largest source of carbon pollution, those regulations probably will contribute to shuttering facilities already struggling to compete with cheap natural gas.

He noted that he had specifically raised the comment in question with Karzai and was satisfied with the response. For his part, Karzai said that he had been trying to make the point in his speech that if the Taliban really wanted foreign troops out of Afghanistan they should stop killing people. In the March 9 speech, he berated the Taliban for deadly bombings in Kabul and the city of Khost that he said “showed that they are at the service of America and at the service of this phrase: 2014,” – the withdrawal date set for most international forces.

LOS ANGELES – Braving the cold and coyotes, nineyear-old Celia Renteria was certain her father still was alive when she crawled out of a steep Southern California canyon and walked in the desert darkness to summon for help after a rollover crash. With temperatures dipping into the 40s, she hiked through rugged terrain to a nearby home. No one answered. Then she hiked up the rocky embankment and along the road to a commuter rail station where she flagged down a passing motorist early Sunday. When officers responded, they found Celia’s father, Alejandro Renteria, 35, dead. He was pinned in the driver’s

The El Paso County sheriff’s office said that “unique and often microscopic markings” found on shell casings in Texas and Colorado leads investigators to conclude that the gun Evan Ebel used to shoot at authorities in Texas was the same gun used to kill Tom Clements at his home on Tuesday. It had been known that the casings found at both scenes were of the same caliber and brand but Monday’s announcement was the first time Colorado investigators made a direct link between Ebel and Clements’ death.

Escape was launched about 200 feet down into the canyon along an isolated stretch of the Sierra Highway in the high desert of northern Los Angeles County at about 1 a.m. Sunday, the CHP said. The vehicle flipped several times. Authorities said Celia managed to free herself from the mangled wreck to find help. She finally found a passing motorist near Acton, a small town tucked in the mountains between Los Angeles and the Mojave Desert. Law enforcement officials praised Celia’s bravery and tenacity. “She walked quite a distance in a very, very threatening environment,” CHP Sgt. Tom Lackey told KABCTV.

Obama started the tradition as a presidential candidate in 2008 when he joined Jewish staffers celebrating on the campaign trail.

Sandusky speaks again, maintains innocence STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Nine months after being convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys – a scandal that destroyed the reputation of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno – Jerry Sandusky is again claiming he did nothing wrong. Sandusky has rarely spoken about the allegations, although he has consistently maintained his innocence since his November 2011 arrest. The latest statements came Monday in portions of a taped interview aired on NBC’s “Today” and transcripts posted on the web site of a filmmaker who aims to clear Paterno’s name.

8BRIEFS

Defense, prosecution agreed to gag order

U.S. offers no support for ousted African leader WASHINGTON – The Obama administration refused Monday to support the Central African Republic’s recently ousted leader and declined to call the overthrow of Francois Bozize this weekend a coup, part of a last-ditch effort to rescue a political agreement to restore calm to the impoverished, rebellion-wracked nation. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S. has no information concerning Bozize’s whereabouts or intentions, despite the claim by the government of neighboring Cameroon that the 66-year-old former military chief was seeking “’temporary” refuge in its territory.

• CASCIARO Continued from page A1 at Val’s: Robert Render. In 2008, Render was charged with concealing a homicide related to Carrick’s disappearance, but prosecutors dropped the case against him. He died in May from a drug overdose at the age of 26. Before jury selection began Monday, Prather granted the prosecution’s request barring the defense from mentioning some results of additional DNA testing done after the first trial. According to court documents, testing in 2003 of a swab taken from a stain on a door handle revealed a match with Render. There also was another, incomplete profile. In October 2012, that second profile was run through a database that contains samples from crime scenes, samples that belong to missing persons, and samples of convicted felons. The database search revealed that the incomplete profile was “associated with” or shared by 56 profiles. It doesn’t mean that one of those people is the person who killed Carrick, but they are a possibility, said Casciaro’s attorney, Brian Telander. Telander said that he should be allowed to mention those results during the trial, but Prather barred him from doing so unless he has evidence connecting the people to the case. Also ahead of jury selection, the defense and prosecution also agreed to a mutual gag order, preventing them from speaking to the media during the trial.

Pensions top issue for Quinn • PENSIONS Continued from page A1 this situation,” he told reporters in Chicago. Pensions have been Quinn’s top issue for more than a year, but only recently has the flurry of pension-related bills surfaced. While lawmakers agree that it’s the most pressing financial problem, they’ve disagreed over almost every aspect of how to fix it and the approach they should take. On the table are both comprehensive plans and smaller bills that go after the problem piece by piece. Several plans overlap ideas. Last week, House lawmakers approved legislation to reduce and delay cost-of-living increases in state employees’ retirement pay.

Cyprus banks closed for 2 days By ELENA BECATOROS The Associated Press NICOSIA, Cyprus – Cyprus ordered banks to remain closed for two more days over fears of a run by customers trying to get their money out, after striking a pre-dawn bailout deal Monday that averted the country’s imminent bankruptcy. The sudden midnight postponement of the much anticipated bank opening today by all but the country’s two largest lenders was sure to hammer businesses already reeling from

more than a week of no access to their deposits. ATMs have been dispensing cash but often run out, and an increasing number of stores and other businesses have stopped accepting credit or debit cards. The two largest lenders, the struggling Laiki and Bank of Cyprus, have imposed a daily withdrawal limit of $130. Cyprus clinched an eleventh-hour deal with the 17-nation eurozone and the International Monetary Fund early Monday for a $13 billion bailout. Without it, the country’s banks would

have collapsed, dragging down the economy and potentially pushing it out of the euro. Under the deal, the country agreed to slash its oversized banking sector and inflict hefty losses on large depositors in troubled banks. The country’s banks have been closed since March 16 to avert a run on deposits as the country’s politicians struggled to come up with a way to raise enough money to qualify for the bailout. An initial plan that would have raised 5.8 billion euros by seizing up to

10 percent of people’s bank accounts enraged depositors and was soundly rejected by lawmakers early last week. But with the immediate crisis averted, worry spread across Europe that the deal could boomerang, spooking investors and hurting the eurozone’s efforts to keep its debt crisis from spreading. “The Cypriot bailout has a powerful legacy which may alter the security with which depositors elsewhere in the eurozone view the safety of banks,” said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International.

Berezovsky’s billions: How the tycoon lost By RAPHAEL SATTER The Associated Press LONDON – How do you burn through billions? The unexplained death of Boris Berezovsky, whose body was found Saturday inside his upscale English home, has refocused attention on the fantastic wealth racked up by Russia’s ruthless oligarchs – and their propensity for spending it. Berezovsky, 67, had once been considered Russia’s richest man – but by this January, a British judge was wondering whether the tycoon would be able to pay his debts. Police say Berezovsky’s death is unexplained but that there was no evidence of anyone else being involved.

Foundations of fortune Berezovsky, a mathematician, made his fortune in the 1990s during the catastrophic privatization of the Soviet Union’s staterun economy. That era was marked by hyperinflation, contract killings and rampant corruption. As Russia’s GDP crumbled, oligarchs

leveraged their ties to ruthless criminals and crooked officials to tear off huge chunks of the country’s assets for themselves, draining resources and stripping factories to build fabulous fortunes. Berezovsky – whose interests ran from automobiles to airplanes to aluminum – was one of this dark period’s primary benBoris eficiaries. He Berezovsky became a political operator in Russian President Boris Yeltsin’s inner circle, trading on his connections to rack up assets estimated by Forbes to be worth roughly $3 billion in 1997. The tycoon had been instrumental in orchestrating the accession of Yeltsin’s successor, Vladimir Putin, but when the new leader and Berezovsky began to clash, his political cover disintegrated. Berezovsky then fled the country in 2000, eventually claiming political asylum in Britain.

Living large in London How much money Berezovsky really had – and how much he was able to take with him from Moscow – remains shrouded in uncertainty. Rich Russians at the time routinely stashed their money in labyrinthine offshore trusts or held assets under the names of associates or family members. Many deals weren’t even put into writing. What’s clear is that the 1998 Russian financial crisis, coupled with Berezovsky’s spectacular fall from political grace, had a big impact on his bottom line. Forbes estimated his post-Moscow fortune in the hundreds of millions. Rival oligarch Roman Abramovich testified in court that Berezovsky had been down to his last $1 million when he fled Russia. If Berezovsky were strapped for cash, he didn’t show it.

The bills pile up Berezovsky often expressed a fondness for Britain’s legal system, despite his frequent and expensive encounters with it. A search

of British court records throws up roughly three dozen judgments – libel, fraud, divorce, breach of contract – involving the tycoon in some way. Berezovsky sued a business associate over a fraudulent loan. Other business associates sued him over a botched oil deal. Berezovsky sued Forbes over an unflattering profile. He sued Russian television for suggesting he had a hand in the poisoning death of ex-Russian KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko. His second wife sued him for a divorce. His girlfriend sued him for a house he’d promised her. He sued the wife of his long-time partner, Badri Patarkatsishvili, in a complicated dispute over how to split the man’s assets after his death. The sums involved were staggering. The loan deal was worth $5 million. His second divorce settlement in 2011 reportedly cost him 100 million pounds (about $154 million at the time). Patarkatsishvili’s assets could be worth hundreds of millions more.

Knox must wait 1 more day for court decision ROME – Italy’s highest court delayed until today a decision on whether American student Amanda Knox will face a new trial in the murder of her British roommate – an unusual but not unprecedented move. The court heard six hours of arguments Monday and spent several hours deliberating that and a handful of other cases before announcing it would issue a decision today on whether the 2011 acquittals of Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito will stand. Italian prosecutors have asked the high court to throw out the acquittals of Knox and Sollecito in the murder of 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher and order a new trial.

Egypt top prosecutor orders arrest of activists CAIRO – After Egypt’s Islamist president vowed action against opponents, the nation’s top prosecutor on Monday issued arrest warrants against five prominent activists over clashes between the Muslim Brotherhood and protesters. The warrants heightened the latest in a series of crises plaguing this nation of some 90 million since the ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak’s ouster. Rights activists and the opposition warned the warrants could mark the opening of an intimidation campaign against their ranks by President Mohammed Morsi and the Brotherhood, through the prosecutor.

Consequence of rise in Alzheimer’s patients is need for services geared toward dementia • ALZHEIMER’S Continued from page A1 boomers. The result: The number of individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease could jump from 5 million to 7.1 million by 2025, and to 13.8 million by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. That doesn’t include early onset Alzheimer’s – encompassing those patients younger than 65 – which affects 200,000 people. One immediate consequence of a fast-growing population of Alzheimer’s patients is a need for services geared toward those who suffer from dementia. “With the increase, we’re certainly going to have to expand,” Beers said. The Fox Pointe Manor in McHenry opened five years ago, and Fox Pointe has opened other Alzheimer’s-specific centers across Illinois and Wisconsin in recent years. Jennifer Prell, a senior

housing expert with Elderwerks, said it is becoming increasingly common for senior care centers to devote entire floors or buildings to Alzheimer’s care. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that goes through seven stages of cognitive and memory degeneration. “They’re making accommodations for early onset as well as floors for the late stages,” Prell said. Prell said the already booming senior care industry will continue to grow in coming years as the population seeking care grows. As of Jan. 1, 2011, members of the baby boomer generation began turning 65, and each day for the next two decades about 10,000 boomers will reach that age, according to the Pew Reseach Center. That’s not anything unexpected to people who have been paying attention, said Kim Larson, executive director of Family Alliance, a center for dayside adult care in

Glenn Jorian of Huntley participates in a tai chi exercise class Thursday at Family Alliance in Woodstock. Woodstock. The center serves about 350 clients through its day care services, about 50 percent of which deal with dementia. Larson said Family Alliance is trying to be proactive in assessing the direction of the local community, and constantly adding services to fit the current needs. It is circulating surveys at the moment.

“We’re asking not only about the aging population, but the sandwich generation – those 40 and older looking for options for their elderly parents,” Larson said. “We want to locate gaps in services and prepare for them.” Family Alliance keeps its clientele active, scheduling daily exercise and tai chi times.

• Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. • Deaths from Alzheimer’s increased 68 percent between 2000 and 2010, while deaths from other major diseases, including the No. 1 cause of death (heart disease), decreased. • More than 5 million Americans are living with the disease. • Of Americans 65 and older, one in nine has Alzheimer’s, and one in three people aged 85 and older has the disease. • In 2012, 15.4 million caregivers

provided more then 17.5 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. • Nearly 15 percent of caregivers live an hour or more away from their loved ones. Out-of-pocket caregiving costs are nearly twice as high for long-distance caregivers compared with local caregivers. • In 2013, Alzheimer’s will cost the nation $203 billion. This number is expected to rise to $1.2 trillion by 2050

ates more quickly, experts say. Beers said there’s no known way to stop the progression of Alzheimer’s, but keeping individuals with the disease active physically and mentally is important. An activity such as dancing works double because it combines exercise with the cognitive stimulation of remembering dance steps.

Beers added that those who are seeing signs of Alzheimer’s in loved ones should take finding help seriously. “I think the biggest obstacle is educating families on what the resident’s needs are,” she said. “The places that offer this specialized care are important not only for the patient, but for them as well.”

Keep the public’s records public The Journal Star has no intention of publishing the names or residences of people with handguns. Let us say it again for clarity and emphasis: The Journal Star has no intention of publishing the names or residences of people with handguns. Our opposition to Sen. Bill Kintner’s LB293 – which would cut off public access to all information regarding handgun permit applications and registrations – is not based on the specific information that the bill would conceal. It is based on an attempt to conceal any public information. Public records of all sorts are the receipt, the proof-of-purchase for taxpayers. They are how we all can measure and hold accountable the government we elect and pay for. They are important enough that everything the government does is considered public record unless it is specifically and legally exempted. For those who argue that handgun ownership is a personal and private matter, to the extent that complies with current law, we agree. That’s why we’ve never published information pertaining to it. The public record contains lots of sensitive and personal data, and as fellow private citizens, too, members of the news media are judicious in what we publish. Kintner’s bill is rooted in the actions of a New York state newspaper, which published the names and addresses of all registered handgun owners in its reading area shortly after the Sandy Hook school shootings. It was a rash, reckless and irresponsible decision. If the National Rifle Association can claim that the dangerous and deadly actions of a single irresponsible gun user shouldn’t impinge on the rights of the many law-abiding and responsible gun users, then it’s reasonable to say that our citizens shouldn’t be deprived of public information because of a single irresponsible abuse of the public record. As a state, we’ve given great consideration to our gun laws. We continue to do so. The records LB293 aims to seal off are the best means for our citizens to understand how and how well our laws are being enforced. Looking at these records broadly, citizens could see how effective the process is at screening applicants and applying current laws. Our opposition to LB293 isn’t about the guns. It’s not really about the media. And it certainly isn’t about publishing lists of handgun owners (see above). It’s simply about keeping the public record public. Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Electricity aggregation: Yes To the Editor: Cheaper electric rates are on the April 9 ballot in Wonder Lake. On behalf of village residents, the Village Board is asking voters’ permission to create an electric aggregation program that could save residents as much as 25 percent on their electric bills. Under aggregation programs, the buying power of all the residents is combined so that a potentially better price can be obtained from a supplier. Approval of this referendum will allow the village to develop an electric aggregation program that will enable it to negotiate rates below ComEd’s current rate. The village is under no obligation to enter into any contract if it does not lower costs for village residents. ComEd will maintain the electric infrastructure and respond to power outages. Your bill will come from ComEd. A “yes” vote gives the village the option to explore lower electricity rates for residents and small businesses. Dick Hilton Wonder Lake

McHenry lucky to have Schaefer as alderman To the Editor: I, like most people of our area, get very frustrated after national elections. We vote for candidates who promise to represent us. After being elected, they represent the people and interests that filled their campaign coffers. We are very lucky locally to have a number of candidates whose special interests are the people of and the city of McHenry. Jeff Schaefer, our 3rd Ward alderman has “us” as his special interest and gets my vote. He was born and raised here, loves our town, and he does his best for its citizens. As for mayor, we are lucky again to have two great candidates. Today, I am leaning toward Sue Low, but I think that Steve Cuda did a great job when we elected him. I would not mind if he was re-elected. Paul Wember McHenry

Walsh for transparency To the Editor: McHenry County College trust-

ees, with the exception of Ron Parrish, are lacking in transparency, not candid with the public and unavailable. Try to contact one, and you only can find the MCC general trustee’s email address on the website. I have known Molly Walsh, candidate for MCC trustee, for over 20 years. Go to votemollywalsh.com, read her position statement and contact her at molly@votemollywalsh.com. How refreshing that she wants to hear from the taxpayers. Molly states that she will demand that future expansion plans for MCC will be fiscally sound, environmentally sustainable and community supported. This contrasts with the very secretive “core planning group” of members of two private corporations, several MCC staff and one trustee. The meetings are not open to the public. The minutes are deemed proprietary and not available through FOIA. Join me in voting for Molly Walsh on April 9, a vote for change and transparency. Mary Moltmann Bull Valley

Dog park fee too high To the Editor: The city of McHenry is getting ready to open a dog park. We are extremely appalled at the $75 annual fee for residents to use the park. It’s the highest fee I could find in researching the fees of neighboring towns. Crystal Lake is $30 for residents. Lake in the Hills is $40, and all four of Lake County dog parks are $44 for residents. I understand why a fee is needed, but $75? This will be a hardship in my family, and I bet a hardship in many families, especially with the economy putting a strain on our budgets. Come on, Mayor Low, you couldn’t be a bit more accommodating in setting this fee and allow more residents the ability to use the park? The dog park should not be a money maker for the city of McHenry. Elisabeth Hoge McHenry

and Route 23. City leaders want people to believe that they have a plan in place. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee the construction of the ramps will be built anytime soon. Recently, the city adopted its Southwestern Sub Area Plan, which is nothing more than a color rendering of what could happen in this vicinity someday. The problems begin when the plan is rapidly advanced and begins costing residents money today without a guaranteed return. The entire interchange proposal is based on speculation that others will pay for it. The Illinois Tollway has no funding earmarked for this particular project, and McHenry County has not formally discussed it. Unfortunately, Marengo officials are actively pursuing land annexations to reach the tollway, to only then begin formulating plans for funding. The city wants you to believe that only they can sponsor the interchange and are trying to compel landowners to annex. Using these sorts of tactics is bad governing, and the public needs to be aware. These decisions, if approved, will cost the Marengo and its residents money. I urge all residents of Marengo to contact elected officials to vote “no” on the annexation proposals before the city is burdened with additional responsibility. David Diamond Marengo

Her expertise in the complex issues facing our schools on a daily basis will complement the strengths of the current board, while her understanding of policy and the fiscal responsibility she has shown as an experienced administrator will prove vital to her success as a leader and an advocate for the taxpayers.

Support Low for mayor To the Editor: Sue Low proudly serves her hometown in an “official” capacity as the mayor of McHenry. Sue also continues to show her commitment to McHenry in other important ways, as she has for the past several decades, as a community volunteer. Working beside Sue in various community volunteer activities for nearly 30 years, I have seen her spirited leadership make great things happen. During her many years as a director of Fiesta Days, Sue’s involvement was key to the success and growth of this annual event. Sue also was instrumental in the formation of Citizens at Large, a group of volunteers who provide assistance to our local charitable organizations. Sue continues to enthusiastically lead by example, inspiring others to volunteer their time and talents for the good of this community. Express your continuing support for the McHenry community by keeping Sue Low, an involved community member, as your mayor. Mary Jo Gilpin Decker McHenry

McHENRY COUNTY EARLY VOTE BEGINS Early voting in McHenry County began Monday as voters headed to the polls in advance of the April 9 election. Julianne Peterson, election judge at Lake in the Hills, said turnout was fairly light for the first day of voting. “To me, this is more important than the presidential election,” she said. “Village presidents, village trustees, people that run our schools. … If you don’t get the right people to run those, you’ll be paying for it in the long run.” Joan Stern was one of the 13 people who cast a ballot Monday at Lake in the Hills Village Hall and noted the importance of local elections. “It has to do with our community,” she said. “It’s where we live and where our children are raised. We have to have the right people in the right positions.” Early voting continues through April 6. For a full list of early voting locations and times, call the McHenry County Clerk’s Office at 815-334-4242 or visit www. co.mchenry.il.us/departments/ countyclerk.

Annexation vote delayed Riley Township supervisor, Marengo mayor clash during public comment By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The Marengo City Council decided Monday to wait until April 8 to vote on the three initial annexation deals that would cut into Riley Township and put city limits closer to Interstate 90. City officials indicated last week that the council

“Everything else has been removed, so we are not talking about it. It’s gone. If you wish, come back on April 8, and you can speak all you want.” Don Lockhart, Marengo mayor, speaking to Karen Schnable would not vote on at least two annexation deals that has drawn the ire of Riley of-

ficials upset at how the city has handled expanding its boundaries.

But the agreement with Chicago Title Land Trust Co. to add its 750 acres into Marengo also did not see a council vote Monday, because both parties still are finalizing terms. Aldermen wasted no time Monday in postponing the vote on all three deals. They began the meeting by voting, 5-0, to postpone the measures until April 8, before entering

the public comment portion of the meeting. Riley Supervisor Karen Schnable then approached the podium to speak about an issue concering the annexations. Mayor Don Lockhart rebuffed the supervisor, arguing she couldn’t speak about anything related to

NO INJURIES AFTER HARVARD FIRE HARVARD – An apartment fire on Monday evening in Harvard left seven people displaced, fire officials said. Harvard police spotted smoke coming from the second floor of 706 N. Division St. about 7 p.m. Monday and called it in, Harvard Fire Protection District Chief Steve Harter said. The house is divided into two apartments, one on the ground floor and another on the second. The family of four that live in the downstairs apartment were home but were not injured, Harter said. The upstairs residents were not home. The fire was contained to the upstairs, Harter said. Firefighters had it under control in 5 minutes. Damage is estimated at $50,000, he said. While most of the fire and water damage was contained to the upstairs, there was smoke damage throughout the building. The cause of the fire still is being investigated, Harter said. Firefighters from the Woodstock, Marengo, Hebron and Sharon, Wis., fire departments assisted.

Four vie for Huntley trustee seats About 130 attend two-hour forum to ask questions, listen to candidates By CYNTHIA WOLF

editorial@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – Sun City, Huntley, resident Noel Keinath had just one lament after the Huntley village trustee candidate forum ended Monday night – that too many chairs in the Prairie Lodge’s spacious Drendel Ballroom were empty for it.

trustee candidate. The four candidates are running for three open seats in the April 9 election. Keinath, who attended with his wife, Barbro, said Kadakia’s emphasis on water resources particularly resonated with him. “Water is a very important part of our growth,” Keinath said. “Without water, we are not going to have growth.” The forum, moderated by Civics

Committee volunteer George Sebastian, lasted a little more than two hours. While Kadakia emphasized the importance of seeking out and conserving water resources, Piwko’s greatest emphasis was on ensuring a smoother flow of traffic from north to south, as well as a greater “walkability” throughout the village.

Postponed fire district project McHenry teen finds frustrates McHenry residents time for giving back By SHAWN SHINNEMAN By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A year after bids on a proposed expansion to the Elm Street fire station came in higher than expected, the project still is on hold. The McHenry Township Fire Protection District has spent more than $1 million on the project and has nothing to show for it, said Don Allen, who lives and works as an architect in McHenry. Allen outlined his concerns in a 10-minute presentation Thursday to the district’s board. In preparation for a 4,700-square-foot expansion of administrative offices at its main station, 3601 W. Elm St. in McHenry, the district spent $800,000 to buy neighboring land for parking lots, $74,000 to demolish the buildings, and $230,000 to pay for architecture expenses. The district expected construction to cost between $2.4 million and $2.8 million, but the lowest bid came in at $4.4

million. The project has been on hiatus since the bids were rejected in April, leaving residents such as Allen asking where their money has gone. Fire Chief Tony Huemann said the board is waiting to see how things develop with its other planned project. The district has signed a contract to buy property off Route 31 across from the Shah Center, and is in the due diligence phase before the sale becomes final. The plan is to build a station there and possibly another in the southeast section of the district’s coverage area to improve response times, Huemann said.

Those stations could take some of the pressure off the central station, he said, but because the board isn’t at the design stage yet, it hasn’t yet delved into that option. Regardless of what happens with the administrative offices, Huemann said, the land purchases were necessary. The Illinois Department of Transportation is set to widen Richmond Road and improve the Elm Street and North Richmond Road intersection this summer. The project will cut into the existing station’s parking lot, and the district can no

CARY: APRIL BALLOT

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

CARY: HOME EVACUATED

D-26 school board election showcases crowded field By JOSEPH BUSTOS

Election Central

jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Technology, better communication and maintaining balanced budgets are the concerns of the eight people on the April ballot for the District 26 school board. Incumbents Floyd Myers and Julie Jette are joined by Jennifer Crick, Bradley Slavik, Bruce Ritter, Scott Epstein, Josh Howell and Christopher Christensen, as they vie for the four available board seats. Howell and Christensen were members of the district’s strategic plan steering committee that helped plot the district’s mission and vision statements. They also serve as members of the district’s Community Engagement Committee. Both said they are concerned about fiscal responsibility and the need for a well-rounded education. Christensen said board members need to improve their communication. “If my time on the steering committee has taught me anything, it is that over the last two to three years, I think the board should have had more functions where we brought the different stakeholders of the community together,” Christensen said. Howell said the district needs to prepare students by addressing technology needs. “We should continue to address needed upgrades and repairs to aging buildings and the district’s technology needs,” Howell said. Epstein has regularly attended District 26 board and committee meetings, and also is a member of the Community Engagement Committee. He said his top two priorities would be to repair the relationship between the school board and teachers’ union and prepare for the upcoming negotiations because that contract expires next year. The district also needs to communicate better, Epstein said. Epstein said he disagreed with the district’s purchase of SMART board bundles. “I felt that money should have been spent on updating the district’s outdated hardware instead, especially since the PTOs had raised enough

money to help update two of the school’s computer labs,” Epstein said. Crick, also a member of the Community Engagement Committee, works as a developmental therapist and has been a first- and second-grade teacher. She said she wants to continue reducing class size in the district and continue reintroducing specials in the district. She added the district needs to clearly state reasons behind each decision. “One of my main goals would be to ensure the accuracy of the supporting details behind each decision, and to make sure each stakeholder in the district has access to information regarding and understanding of key decisions,” Crick said. “There needs to be clearly laid out action plans and accountability with said action plans. These are areas in which our district has been lacking for a long time now.” Myers in recent meetings has been critical of the district’s technology plan. He said he wanted a comprehensive technology plan before spending large amounts of money on equipment upgrades. “The introduction and expansion of technology into the D26 district must be planned and controlled,” Myers wrote in a candidate questionnaire to the Northwest Herald. “The possible actions from that plan must be put into priority order based on the current status of the district’s technology, the benefits of an action ... and, most importantly, the availability of funding based on the fiveyear financial plan.” Jette is completing her first term on the board, a time when the district has made cuts and passed a referendum in order to avoid a state takeover. She also is proud of the district’s recent adoption of new language arts textbooks to bring common materials

across the district. Jette said she believes there are ways to structure personnel and benefits to allow the district to stretch tax dollars. “We need to think outside the box because simply bringing back PE, music and art is not enough,” Jette said. “I would like to see emphasis placed on gifted education, band and foreign languages, as well as the continuing effort to lower class sizes.” Slavik is a self-employed computer consultant. He said he wants to increase the variety of classes students have, such as adding foreign language. Slavik said the board was unable to influence the administration from making cuts, other than the deep staffing cuts that occurred a few years ago. He said there might have been other things to consider, such as determining if there are too many administrators, or if there is waste elsewhere. “I want District 26 to be proud of the citizens it nurtures, and the students to not say that the school district (board, faculty, administration) let them down,” Slavik wrote in a candidate questionnaire to the Northwest Herald. Ritter, 39, is a manager of vendor management for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. His family moved to the area four years ago from Barrington because of the schools, he said. He has one child in second grade, and two in kindergarden. He said he wants to bring a sense of “discipline to decision making” that takes place. Ritter said there needs to be hard figures of how much a purchase will cost before it’s approved, he said. “It’s putting certain expectations on the administration, and holding [administrators] to them,” Ritter said. He said there needs to be more open and honesty in the district. He acknowledged art and music are slated to come back next year, but with a deficit projected in 2017, he questioned whether those programs are sustainable. “I’m happy something is coming back, but it’s a qualified happiness,” Ritter said.

Goldman, a retired Chica-

go Public Schools administrator who lives in Sun City, Huntley, noted her longtime involvement in community groups and organizations, including the Huntley Historical Society and the Huntley Civilian Police Academy, as among reasons to vote for her. “Huntley is a growing area, and I want to help shape the housing, retail and commercial growth,” she said. “I don’t want Huntley to lose its charm and emulate some of the communities near O’Hare.” Questions from the audience included the topics of home rule, video gaming and possible expansion of the Grafton bus service. One thing all of the candidates agreed on was that proceeds to the village from video

gaming in town are a boon to the village’s budget. They also supported home rule as a means of affording the village greater access to state dollars and greater latitude in deciding the villages’ fate. They also agreed that the village should continue to support the bus service. The village has for several years provided $10,000 annually toward it, Piwko said. Keinath said he appreciated the Civics Committee’s efforts in organizing the forum and the candidates’ attendance. “It’s informative,” he said. “It gives us a chance to see and meet these people face to face rather than just looking at a piece of literature.”

WOODSTOCK: NARCOTICS INVESTIGATION

Two Woodstock men face several drug-related charges NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Two Woodstock men were arrested last week after they were found with more than $75,000 in drugs, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. Rafael Perez-Serrato, 46, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, delivery of a controlled substance, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, controlled substance trafficking, possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver and possession of marijuana. Ismael Ayala, 31, was charged with possession of a controlled substance

with the intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver and possession of marijuana. The arrests revolved around an investigation into narcotics being sold in the Woodstock area, and culminated Friday after two separate traffic stops and the execution of a search warrant at a home in the 1900 block of Julie Street, according to a news release. The investigation involved members of the sheriff’s narcotics unit, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Woodstock Police Department. During one of the traffic stops, about 1,180 grams of cocaine was found, and Pe-

rez-Serrato was taken into custody, Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said. Investigators later obtained a search warrant for the home and found 512 grams of marijuana, digital scales, packaging materials, a Walther PPK handgun and ammunition, Zinke said. Some $13,831 in cash also was seized, as well as seven vehicles. Ayala was arrested during the second traffic stop. Perez-Serrato and Ayala were being held Monday at the McHenry County Jail on $650,000 and $300,000 bonds, respectively. They’re next scheduled to appear in court Monday. The investigation is ongoing.

If you wish, come back on April 8, and you can speak all you want.” Schnable said after the meeting that she was “disappointed” that the council wouldn’t let her speak about the issue. She said the council purposely started the meeting with the motion to postpone the three deals to deny public comment on the issue. “They should have at least listened to me,” Schnable said. “They shouldn’t have turned me off and said they

“They should have at least listened to me. They shouldn’t have turned me off and said they didn’t want to talk to me.” Karen Schnable Riley Township supervisor

didn’t want to talk to me.” Schnable was planning to speak about an environmental report required by state law for any farmland subject to a zoning change. She argued the city is refusing to conduct the report. The city’s three annexation deals would alter zoning classificiations for almost 1,400 acres west of

Route 23 currently zoned agricultural under McHenry County regulations. City officials are trying to extend its boundaries to I-90 to formally start talking with the Illinois Tollway Authority on financing an interchange project. City officials have argued that a full interchange is the pivotal piece to future city development that includes a mixture of commercial, residential and industrial expansion south and west of Marengo’s existing borders. City administrators originally had wanted the council to vote Monday on the Chicago Title deal, plus two others between VCNA Prairie and A.R. Land Co. The related zoning recommendations attached to the VCNA and A.R. Land deals also were postponed until April 8.

Residents wonder how project got so far • PROJECT Continued from page B1 lot, and the district can no longer use its exit onto North Richmond Road because it is too close to the intersection. The district hopes to convert the undeveloped lots it bought to the north into a parking lot, Huemann said, and the exit onto Richmond Road would be farther north and far enough from the intersection. Some residents still wonder how the district got so far on a project it ultimately found too expensive. Huemann can’t answer that, but he said the board relied on an architect and engineers who also were sur-

prised by the $2 million difference between the bids and the estimate. In the future, the board will remember it when assessing cost estimates, he said. “Let’s give the board credit by saying when those bids came in way over budget, our board stopped it,” Huemann said. However, an unsuccessful petition effort last fall pointed to the project as a reason the board should to be elected. The five board members are appointed by a subcommittee of the McHenry County Board. The district covers McHenry Township and part of Nunda Township, and the municipalities of Bull

Valley, Holiday Hills, Johnsburg, Lakemoor, McCullom Lake, McHenry and Ringwood. “With recent fiscal irresponsibility within the McHenry Township Fire Protection District, it has become apparent that the current system of appointed trustees of the fire district is not working,” McHenry resident Dave Nellessen wrote in a letter to the editor of the Northwest Herald in October. Allen feels the same way, he said, adding that elected members would bring professionalism and accountability to the board. “They contributed $1.3 million to something that never should have happened,” he said.

Major Advancement in Joint Relief!

Clinical Research Exposes:

What Drug Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Your Joint Pain! Great news if you suffer with stiff joints, back pain, achy knees, ﬁngers and hips By Steve Meyerson Freelance health reporter

f you deal with joint agony every day, I have bad news for you. “Big Pharma” likes it that way. They’re making billions on products that only give temporary relief. And may be hiding the very thing that could end your discomfort forever.

% ,&4 -8<;9&.9.= "289+ % *&.# ( 6&9.: % )0/0=#+ 9!!9:0:9&. -0!:920=#

Reports of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers and kidney injury are scaring even the neediest patients away. And if you’ve been taking these products regularly, you should be concerned. But there is an answer… Recently, a new joint-relief pill called BeActive, was released in the U.S. that’s been helping thousands reverse their joint problems. And it’s done it without one single side effect reported. Yet, there are companies out there that don’t want you to know about it. “No one can be sure why, but it appears the pill could be perceived as a threat to their bottom line. After all, if people start moving away from traditional joint pills, some companies could take a ﬁnancial hit”. That’s a big problem for their “bottom line”. But an even bigger problem for people who are desperate for help and aren’t being told there’s a solution,” says Jim Caras, an industry insider and CEO of Health Direct (the maker of BeActive).

BEFORE: Stiff joint damage causing intense knee agony. % 3#02:;' -8<;9&.9.= "289+ % 7#$09!#+ % 1/$!&5#+ 6&9.: -0!:920=# :9<<8#

Extraordinary Science “The research is impressive. There’s simply nothing out there like it” says Caras. The core ingredient in BeActive is clinically proven and certiﬁed to inhibit MMP enzymes (the stuff that destroys your joint tissue and causes them to hurt). “BeActive is a major advancement over old-fashioned remedies that can really damage your body. It’s already approved in Australia for maintaining healthy joints. Its just a matter of time until the rest of the world catches up,” says Caras. That’s why I enthusiastically recommend it.”

“

Clinical Study Shows 93% Improvement” -Jim Caras, CEO of Health Direct

BeActive is proven by over 20 scientiﬁc studies; they were conducted by some of the most respected medical research institutions in the world – including the U.S., U.K., France, Japan and New Zealand. Here’s What People Are Saying: No More Medications! “The results are almost unbelievable. I do not need any joint medications whatsoever now. I am doing things that have been impossible for me to do for some time.” -Rosa M., Italy Active Again! “I am 79-years old and have suffered for years from knee joint discomfort due to worn cartilage. After taking BeActive, I am now able to walk, bike and swim!” - Roger S., Port Townsend, WA BeActive helped them, it can help you too. If you or someone you love suffer with life-limiting joint problems, you can do something about it right now.

AFTER: Improved flexibility and movement after taking BeActive. Safer than Drugs Research shows that unlike prescription drugs for joint discomfort, BeActive protects the stomach lining. So you don’t have to worry about ulcers or kidney damage. It’s also safe to take with other joint medications. 120% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE Try BeActive Now. You’ll feel better before you finish the first bottle– GUARANTEED. That’s why the makers of BeActive have agreed to let you try it without risking a dime.

NEW YORK – U.S. stock markets closed lower Monday, hurt by worries about Europe’s economy despite a bailout of Cyprus. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 64 points, or 0.4 percent. Optimism about a deal to prevent financial collapse in Cyprus had briefly pushed the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to within a half-point of its all-time high in early trading, but stock markets soon turned negative. By day’s end, declining stocks led advancing ones on the New York Stock Exchange, with decliners totaling 1,782 and advancers totaling 1,221.

4,000 attend expo 143 businesses at Crystal Lake showcase By CHRIS CASHMAN ccashman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Tom Van Dyck, store manager of Grand Appliance in Crystal Lake, was cooking a spiral ham on a Weber grill Sunday outside the entrance of the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce’s Home & Business Expo. Assisting was Dennis Flanagan, a Weber sales rep. Despite temperatures that stubbornly stayed in the 30s, Flanagan said it was grilling season, “365 days a year.” The chamber’s 31st annual expo attracted about 4,000 attendees Saturday and Sunday at Crystal Lake South High School, according to Gary Reece, chamber president. “It’s really about the exhibitors, and increasing their exposure,” Reece said. He said the expo was a sell out with 143 booths. Amy LeFevre of Crystal Lake stopped at the Home State Bank booth, where Lesley Smith, a banking center manager in Woodstock, and Alex Dorsch, a personal financial representative, were holding a raffle for a tool box. “It’s a promotion that’s been going on for home equity lines of credit,” said Smith, who has been with the bank for 10 years. Seanine Brady of the Crystal Lake Public Library was drawing a crowd at a spin-to-win game that revolved around the library’s past. Brady said the library is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. “All these questions relate to 100 years of service by the Crystal Lake Public Library,” said Brady, fashionably dressed in old-time garb. At the Crystal Lake Park District display, children bounced on a giant, red inflatable couch with the words “Get Off The Couch.” Kyle Petty, marketing assistant with the park district, said the couch is used for Movies in the Park during the summer.

Haley Wells, 12, of Woodstock was getting her faced painted with a tiger design by Yvonne Mihm of Head 2 Toe Bodyart in Crystal Lake. Haley was at the expo with her mother, Kris. “We’re looking for a heater and air conditioner unit, so it’s a good place to check out a bunch of [businesses] at one time,” she said. Café Expo featured Georgio’s Chicago Pizzeria & Pub individual pizza, Galloway’s Chicago Sub Shop sandwiches, and Morkes Chocolates. Expo attendees filled their goodie bags with items from participating businesses, plus every 100th person received a door prize. An expo raffle featured a Crystal Lake entertainment package valued at more than $500, four tickets to a Chicago Cubs game, a boys and girls bike, and a Kindle tablet.

Passengers down 9.7 percent at RFD NORTHWEST HERALD ROCKFORD – The Chicago Rockford International Airport reported an 11 percent decrease in available seats and a 9.7 percent decrease in passengers for the first two months of the year. Overall, flights during January and February 2013 were 87 percent full. “Although our overall passenger numbers are down, much of that is a result of a decrease in capacity due to the absence of our Ft. Myers [Fla.] service in January and part of February,” said RFD Director Mike Dunn.

“With Ft. Myers service through Allegiant starting on Feb. 14 and new Apple Vacation service to Montego Bay [Jamaica] continuing through the spring, we expect our March numbers to rebound nicely, and possibly break our all-time monthly passenger record,” Dunn said. RFD served 16,313 passengers in January, compared to 19,652 passengers in January 2012. This is a nearly 17 percent decrease in year-over-year passengers. However, the airport also had a 19 percent decrease in capacity for the month. In February, the airport served

NEW YORK – Apple has bought WiFiSLAM, a startup that has been developing a way to use WiFi hotspots to help smartphones navigate large indoor spaces, like stores, airports and conference centers. The purchase is part of Apple’s efforts to bolster its own mapping and location capabilities, after breaking up with Google Inc. last year. The purchase was reported over the weekend by The Wall Street Journal, which said Apple Inc. paid $20 million for the Silicon Valley company. Apple confirmed the purchase Monday but did not say how much it paid or why it wanted WiFiSLAM. WiFiSLAM has shut down its website and closed its YouTube account. Traditional methods of locating cellphones include GPS and sensing of nearby cell towers. Neither of these approaches work well indoors. Retail chains are interested in helping shoppers find things in their stores, and apps that could help them navigate the aisles could be valuable. ABI Research estimates that the market for “indoor retail location” aids will be worth $5 billion in 2018. Apple initially relied on Google to supply the default mapping and location application for the iPhone, but launched its own “Maps” app last year. The features of Google’s iPhone app had been lagging those in the company’s app for its own Android operating system. Among other things, the Android app included indoor navigation for some malls and airports.

NEW YORK – T-Mobile USA, the struggling No. 4 cellphone company, is ditching plans centered on familiar two-year contracts in favor of selling phones on installment plans. The company changed its website over the weekend to sell the new plans. T-Mobile has been losing subscribers from its contractbased plans for more than two years, chiefly to bigger competitors Verizon Wireless and AT&T. T-Mobile has done better with contract-less, prepaid plans, but those aren’t as profitable for the company. The new plan blurs the boundaries between the two types. Prepaid plans have lower monthly fees, but the buyer usually has to pay full or nearly full price for the phones. With T-Mobile’s new plans, the initial phone-buying experience won’t be much different from what it’s like for contract plans.

8IN BRIEF SEC approves Nasdaq’s Facebook IPO payments NEW YORK – The Securities and Exchange Commission said Monday that it has approved a plan by the Nasdaq stock exchange to pay $62 million in reimbursements to investment firms that lost money because of technical problems during Facebook’s initial public offering last year. The Nasdaq had said in June that it would pay $40 million but later increased the amount to $62 million. Facebook went public May 18 amid great fanfare, but computer glitches at the Nasdaq delayed the start of trading and threw the debut into chaos. Technical problems kept many investors from buying shares that morning, selling them later in the day or even from knowing whether their orders went through. Some said they were left holding shares they didn’t want.

A special committee of independent Dell Inc. directors said Monday that it will negotiate with buyout specialist Blackstone Group and activist investor Carl Icahn over bids that rival an offer of more than $24 billion from CEO and Chairman Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners. The committee has determined that the bids could be superior to the proposal from Dell and Silver Lake, which amounts to $13.65 per share.

Gaining control of your financial life The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce’s staff recently took a course on organization of personal finances. Taught by Prosperity Training’s Barb Mikula, the course helped us understand our personal finances, get organized with the help of a provided file system, and analyze where we are managing our financial life well and where we had a bag of holes that was depleting our resources. Best yet, we gained information on how to save a bundle in areas not thought of before. We went into these sessions fearing guilt but instead we were euphoric. For the first time we were in control of our financial lives. Truly a life changer. We now have the tools we need to save money that can be used for things we enjoy. I welcome anyone to gain more information about the excellent training by Prosperity Training which is now available on DVD at prosperitytraining.com.

Bernanke: Interest-rate policies benefit trade By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday that the Federal Reserve’s low-interest-rate policies are helping to boost growth around the world and have created markets for products made in developing nations. In a speech at the London School of Economics, Bernanke staunchly defended the Fed’s policies and similar stimulus efforts pursued by other central banks since the 2008 financial crisis. Last week, the Fed stood by its efforts to keep borrowing costs at record lows, saying the U.S. economy still required the support to help lower high unemployment. Critics have argued that the low-interest-rate policies

could feed a global currency war, which is lowering currency values to make products more competitive on global markets. Some have blamed such policies for making the Great Depression worse during the 1930s. Countries devalued their currencies and raised tariffs, which made foreign-made goods more expensive and stunted trade. They became known as “beggar-thy-neighbor” policies. Bernanke argued that the situation is different today because the low-interest rate policies have the primary aim of boosting domestic growth, not trying to lower the value of a nation’s currency. “Because stronger growth in each economy confers beneficial spillovers to trading policies, these policies are not ‘beggar-thy-neighbor’ but rath-

er ‘enrich-thy-neighbor’ actions,” Bernanke said. The current efforts should support stronger trade flows, Bernanke said. By boosting growth in major economies, consumers can buy more imported goods from developing countries. After its two-day meeting last week, the Fed said it would stick with its plan to keep short-term interest rates at record lows at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. Unemployment in February stood at 7.7 percent. Bernanke told reporters that the Fed saw the 6.5 percent unemployment level as a threshold and not a “trigger,” for a possible rate increase. The Fed also said it would keep buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep longterm borrowing costs down. Bernanke told reporters at

a news conference that the Fed might vary the size of its monthly purchases depending on whether the job market is improving and by how much. In its policy statement, the Fed noted that the U.S. job market has improved, consumer spending and business investment have increased and the housing market has strengthened. But in an updated economic forecast also released last week, the Fed said it still did not expect unemployment to reach 6.5 percent until 2015. The Fed’s economic projections showed that 13 Fed officials still think the first Fed rate hike will not occur until 2015. That was the same number as in December. One Fed official thinks the first boost in the short-term lending rate won’t occur until 2016.

Schulze returns to Best Buy The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Best Buy’s co-founder and former chairman Richard Schulze is returning to the Best Buy fold as chairman emeritus. The move comes after Schulze considered making a buyout bid for the electronics retailer but never made a formal offer. Best Buy has been working to turn around its results as it faces tough competition from online retailers and discounters. Since hiring turnaround expert Hubert Joly as its CEO in August, the company has cut jobs, invested in training employees and started matching online prices. Schulze founded Best Buy in 1966 and is its largest shareholder, with a 20 percent stake in the company.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

Prince Harry to return to U.S. Britain’s Prince Harry is returning to the United States – but this time he’s skipping Las Vegas. The 28-year-old prince will travel to the U.S. East Coast as well as Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo., to support veterans’ charities and get in a bit of polo. Harry, a longtime supporter of charities that rehabilitate war veterans, will attend several events at the 2013 Warrior Games, a competition in which veteran athletes from both Britain and the United States take part. “Prince Harry wants to highlight once again the extraordinary commitment and sacrifice of our injured servicemen and women,” said Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Harry’s private secretary. Harry recently spent 20 weeks in Afghanistan as co-pilot gunner on an Apache attack helicopter. His May 9-15 visit will include trips to Arlington National Cemetery, Walter Reed National Medical Center and an exhibition on Capitol Hill about land mine clearance, a favorite subject of his late mother, Princess Diana. He will also visit areas in New Jersey hard hit by Hurricane Sandy. Harry also will play in the Sentebale Polo Cup in Greenwich, Conn. Sentebale – which means “forget-me-not” – is a charity founded by Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso that helps children struggling with poverty in the tiny southern African country. On his last U.S. visit, the third-in-line to the British throne stormed last year into the headlines when he was caught frolicking in the nude with a woman after an alleged game of strip billiards in his Las Vegas hotel room.

Kings’ rally sends Hawks to 2nd straight loss By JAY COHEN

Next vs. Calgary, 7:30 p.m. today, CSN, AM-720 with a team effort was the intention we had. We just stuck with it.” It was Los Angeles’ highest-scoring game since a 5-2 victory over San Jose on March 16 and came on the heels of consecutive shutout losses to Dallas and Vancouver. The scoreless stretch reached 150 minutes, 35 seconds before Kopitar picked up his 10th goal of the season at 4:21 in the second.

Trip to warmer environs hits snag

“We got good games out of our third and fourth lines, and Brownie scored a big goal at the end,” Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. “They’re probably not happy with the way they played, and if we’d have lost, we wouldn’t have been happy with the way we played.” Brown’s first attempt went off the back of Hawks defenseman Johnny Oduya, but it bounced right back to the captain, who sent it past Corey Crawford for his 12th of the season. Kopitar set up the score by winning a faceoff in the Hawks’ end.

For several years, CaryGrove has used spring break to take a trip to southern Illinois, seeking a little warmer temperatures. The Trojans play games at Rent One Park in Marion, a synthetic turf field that is home of the Frontier League’s Southern Illinois Miners. Rain sometimes is a problem, although what the Trojans encountered Monday afternoon was a new experience. C-G traveled through the part of the state hit hardest by the spring snowstorm, which prolonged the trip well past the allotted time, although coach Don Sutherland already received a text that their games were postponed. Snow still covered most of the field when the Trojans arrived, so they went right to work. With players wearing shorts and hoodies, they worked, along with players from Lockport and St. Charles North, to clear the rest of the field. “The infield and left field were clear, so we cleared off center field, right field and around the foul areas,” Sutherland said. “The field is playable now.” C-G’s games with Eldorado and Murphysboro were moved to later in the week. The Trojans are scheduled to play St. Charles North at 10 a.m. today, then play two games each Wednesday and Thursday before coming home. The bad weather also wiped out a trip to Southern Illinois University to see former Trojans catcher Luke Mottashed with the Salukis, whose games were postponed. “We went out and shoveled,” said outfielder Patrick Snell, who also tweeted a picture of the Trojans at work. “We used shovels, folding chairs, garbage cans, whatever we could get. I don’t think they’re that used to snow down there, they’re almost in Kentucky.” Sutherland said some of the St. Charles North parents had squeegees and shovels. The folding chairs were in the dugouts and utilized just so some other players had something to do.

Once the Los Angeles Kings got going, the Blackhawks just couldn’t stop them.

CHICAGO – Harvey Wittenberg tried to coax an opinion out of coaching legend Scotty Bowman, the NHL’s all-time wins leader and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Come on, Scotty. Name your alltime favorite player of any team and any time period. “I tried to pin him down, but he defined it the way it should be defined,” Wittenberg said. “He said, ‘You have go by decades. Because the game has changed so much.’ ” Few have followed the game for as many decades as Bowman. Wittenberg is one of the select few. At 76 years old, Wittenberg is more than three times the age of Blackhawks superstars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Like them, Wittenberg joined the organization as a young man with a willingness to work hard and a passion for the game. This is Wittenberg’s 53rd season with the franchise. Think about that for a moment. In a season filled with eye-popping numbers, Wittenberg’s year No. 53 might be the most impressive. Many employees don’t last five years with a company, let alone five decades. These days, Wittenberg works as the team’s press-box announcer and online contributor. He also helps with postgame interviews for the media relations department. It’s not so different than his first job with the team in 1960, when he was hired to call games on the radio alongside Johnny Gottselig. His current position followed his longtime role as the stadium’s public-address announcer from 1961 to 2002. Wittenberg arrives to the United Center in a suit and tie almost two hours before every game. From his vantage point near the stadium’s rafters, he watches intently from the opening faceoff until the final horn, logging every scoring play and penalty. There is no such thing as a long day at the office. “It’s a job that I do get compensated for, but it’s a job I love,” said Wittenberg, who also works as an account manager for WDRV-FM. “I mean, I’d go there for nothing. To me, it’s the most exciting spectator sport there is.” As always, he appreciates a good hockey story.

SECTION C

PGA TOUR: ARNOLD PALMER INVITATIONAL

Woods back to No. 1 in the world By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

AP photo

Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer share a laugh during the trophy presentation after Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday in Orlando, Fla. With the victory, Woods returned to No. 1 in the world for the first time since October 2010, the longest spell of his career.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The moment was vintage Tiger Woods, and so was his reaction. Seconds after Rickie Fowler made a 40-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole to pull within two shots of the lead, Woods posed over his 25-foot birdie putt until he swept the putter upward in his left hand and marched toward the cup as it dropped for a birdie. Fowler, standing on the edge of the green, turned with a slight smile as if to say, “What else can I do?” Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday and returned to No. 1 in the world for the first time since October 2010, the longest spell

of his career. After all that time, after so much turmoil with his personal life and his health, Woods looks as good as ever. Maybe better. “It’s a byproduct of hard work, patience and getting back to winning golf tournaments,” Woods said. He essentially The wrapped up his eighth Masters title at Bay Hill with an 8-iron out of a fairApril 8-14 way bunker on the par-5 16th that easily cleared the water and landed safely on the green for a two-putt birdie. Woods dangled his tongue out of his mouth as the ball was in the air, an-

other sign of his swagger. Just like his other two wins this year, Woods never let anyone get closer than two shots in the final round. With a conservative bogey he could afford on the final hole, he closed with a 2-under-par 70 for a two-shot win over Justin Rose. Woods walked off the 18th green waving his putter over his head – truly a magic wand at Bay Hill – to acknowledge the fans who have seen this act before. His eighth win in the Arnold Palmer Invitational tied a PGA Tour record that had not been touched in 48 years. This win had extra significance. He’s back to No. 1.

8SPORTS SHORTS Hampshire softball team loses to Elgin Defense carried Hampshire’s softball team for seven innings Monday, but that wasn’t enough. Despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, the Whip-Purs fell to Elgin, 3-2, after eight innings of indoor nonconference play at the Rosemont Dome. “My senior pitcher, Jennifer Hurst, threw a wonderful game, and our defense came up with a lot of timely defensive plays to get us out of innings where Elgin runners were in scoring position,” Hampshire coach Stacey Stepek said. Hurst took the season-opening loss for Hampshire (0-1 overall).

Swanson sets state mark in championships Three members of Swanson’s Gym Training Center in Union recorded personal-best performances in the American Powerlifting Federation Illinois State Championships at Rich East High School in Park Forest on Sunday. Dominic Swanson, whose father Gary trains the competitors, set a state record in the Teen Division 1 100-kilometer weight class with a bench press of 242½ pounds. Swanson recently tweaked his back and did not compete in the squat and deadlift events. Cody Gaynor, 13, set the bench mark in the T1 75-kilometer weight class with a bench of 137.7 pounds. Gaynor was competing in his first meet. Gaynor and Swanson were the youngest competitors at the meet. Alec Newman, 15, competed in the 82.5-kilometer weight class and finished second overall with his three lifts. He bench pressed 159.5, squatted 308.5 and deadlifted 330. He was 11 pounds from taking first in the class, which Gary Swanson said was the most competitive. Swanson hopes to have more members of his gym compete at a powerlifting meet May 18 and 19 in Dearborn, Mich.

Howland bids farewell to UCLA after firing LOS ANGELES – Ben Howland kept it classy in departing as UCLA basketball coach Monday, thanking the athletic director who had fired him a day earlier while noting the high expectations that come with running a program that owns a record 11 national championships.

The 55-year-old coach expressed gratitude for his 10-year run in Westwood, the longest tenure since John Wooden retired in 1975 after 27 years on the sideline.

ANGELS 11, WHITE SOX 5

Floyd tagged early, Sox lose to Angels The ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Ariz. – Playing their regulars for the second straight day, the Los Angeles Angels showed there is more to their loaded lineup than Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. Chris Iannetta and Alberto Callaspo homered off White Sox starter Gavin Floyd, and Mark Trumbo drove in two runs with a double to help the Angels beat the Sox, 11-5, on Monday. Pujols and Hamilton each singled twice. Every starter

had at least one hit for the Angels, who finished with 18. Floyd, the No. 3 starter for the Sox, allowed six runs and 10 hits over the first three innings before getting on track and pitching four scoreless frames. The right-hander was charged with seven runs and 13 hits in all over seven-plus innings. He struck out six and walked one. The Sox played without right fielder Alex Rios, who went for a precautionary MRI on his lower back after missing a third straight game with stiffness. Sox manager Robin Ven-

tura was cautiously optimistic that Rios would play Wednesday against the Indians, the Sox’s final game in Arizona before exhibition games against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday and Saturday. “It’s going to take a few days. I’m going to have to wait it out,” Rios said. “It will be fine. I’ve had this before in my

career. It’s just a normal [stiffness].” The Sox lost their third straight and have won once in eight games, including a tie in that span. Ventura said he wants to see more energy in these last days of spring training. Sox reliever Jesse Crain, testing a right adductor strain, pitched for the second time this spring. Crain started the ninth inning but managed only two outs and was charged with four runs. Despite the results, he said he felt good and was hopeful

he will make the Opening Day roster. Crain expects to pitch again Wednesday. “If it goes like today as in health-wise, then I’m not worried about a thing,” Crain said. “It’s all going to come pitchwise and crispness. I think my velocity was decent and I even feel like I’ll have a little more in the tank the next couple of times out.” Note: Tyler Flowers was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts and Adam Dunn went 0 for 3 with two Ks for the Sox. Paul Konerko was 0 for 4 with a strikeout.

By JOSE M. ROMERO The Associated Press MESA, Ariz. – Ryan Vogelsong has one more spring start before taking his turn in San Francisco’s starting rotation early next month when the regular season opens. The right-hander appears ready for the season to start now after working six strong innings to help lead the Giants to a 9-3 win over the Cubs on Monday. Vogelsong’s only goal in his last start before the season Saturday in Oakland is simple: “Don’t get hurt,” he said. “Don’t Next take a line drive vs. Cincin- back off of somenati, 9:05 thing.” Andres Torres p.m. today and Joaquin Arias hit two-run doubles, Angel Pagan drove in two runs and Buster Posey had three hits, including a two-out bloop double to drive in Vogelsong in the fourth. “I still have one more (start), which I’m not going to complain about,” Vogelsong said. “But if I didn’t have one more, I would be fine, too.” George Kontos, Javier Lopez and closer Sergio Romo each pitched a scoreless inning in relief of Vogelsong.

It’s nice knowing you have one more (start) instead of just straight into the season, but even a day like this is kind of nice, that way going into the season you know how it felt.” The Cubs got a run in the third off Vogelsong on a single, sacrifice and a double by David DeJesus that Pagan lost in the sun and allowed to drop in center field. The Cubs loaded the bases in the fourth, but third baseman Nick Noonan made a diving stop of a grounder hit by

Woods will look to end 5-year major drought at Augusta • WOODS Continued from page C1 “If I get healthy, I know I can play this game at a high level,” Woods said. “I know I can be where I’m contending in every event, contending in major championships and being consistent day in and day out – if I got healthy. That was the first step in the process. Once I got there, then my game turned.” A year ago, he came to Bay Hill without having won in more than 2½ years. He left this year having won six times in his past 20 starts on the PGA Tour. Next up is the Masters, where Woods will try to end his five-year drought in the majors. “I’m really excited about the rest of this year,” Woods said. Woods fell as low as No. 58 in the world as he coped with

the collapse of his marriage, a loss of sponsors and injuries to his left leg. One week after he announced he was dating Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, Woods returned to the top of golf. “Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!” Vonn tweeted moments after his win. Asked if there was any correlation to his winning right after going public with his relationship, Woods smiled and said, “You’re reading way too much into this.” Like so many other victories, this one never was really close. Fowler pulled to within two shots with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole, but after he and Woods made bogey on the 15th, Fowler went at the flag on the par-5 16th and came up a few yards short and into the water. Fowler put another ball into the water and made triple bogey.

Alberto Gonzalez and threw him out to end the inning. Noonan, making a late push for a major-league roster spot, also doubled twice and scored twice. Dioner Navarro hit a towering home run to right field off Vogelsong in the sixth. His 14 RBIs lead the Cubs in spring training. Reliever Cory Wade allowed four runs on four hits in two innings, but Shawn Camp came on and struck out the side for the Cubs in the eighth inning. Notes: Cubs Opening Day starter Jeff Samardzija makes his last start of spring training today against Cincinnati. RHP Scott Feldman, another starter who will be in the reg-

ular-season rotation, gets the call Wednesday against Kansas City. Shawon Dunston, a former Cub and current Giants instructor, and his son Shawon Dunston Jr., a minor-league prospect in the Cubs’ organization, exchanged the lineup cards before the game and shared an embrace at home plate. The younger Dunston was added to the Cubs’ roster for the game and came on in center field in the sixth inning. He went 1 for 2, and the elder Dunston wiped tears from his eyes after the game as the two posed for photos. The announced attendance of 13,374 was the third-highest ever for a Cubs game at HoHoKam Park.

If competition breeds success, then the Bears figure to have a much more successful offensive line next season. The Bears re-signed veteran offensive tackle Jonathan Scott to a one-year contract Monday. Scott, a 30-year-old who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 318 p o u n d s , started seven Jonathan Scott games and appeared in five others last season for the Bears. Scott likely will compete with J’Marcus Webb and Gabe Carimi during training camp for a starting position at right tackle. Carimi could move inside to guard if he does not win a starting tackle job, while Scott or Webb would be suited best for a backup swing tackle position if they are not named as a starter. Webb started at left tackle last season but likely will be replaced at that spot by former New Orleans Saints lineman Jermon Bushrod, who signed a five-year deal March 12. By re-signing Scott, the Bears likely will not focus on a tackle in the first round of the NFL draft. They still could select an interior offensive lineman or choose to bolster another position such as linebacker, tight end, receiver or defensive tackle. It also is possible the Bears could trade down from the No. 20 overall selection to accumulate more picks.

HEAT 108, MAGIC 94

Heat win their 27th straight James and Co. 6 shy of record, play Bulls next By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. – LeBron James left one rebound shy of a triple-double, feigning a bit of frustration as he checked out of the game. That’s about all the Miami Heat could complain about these days. James finished with 24 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, and the Heat won their 27th straight game by running away in the final minutes to beat the Orlando Magic, 108-94, on Monday night. Mario Chalmers scored 17, and Chris Bosh and Ray Allen each added 12 for Miami, which broke open a tie game with a 13-0 run spanning the

end of the third and start of the fourth quarters. Miami eventually pushed the lead to 20 before Heat coach Erik Spoelstra emptied the bench in what became his 250th win with the team. The Heat, who are within six games of matching the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the longest winning streak in NBA history, visit the Bulls on Wednesday night. Jameer Nelson had 27 points and 12 assists for the Magic, who got 20 points from Tobias Harris. A 20-2 run over 4½ minutes spanning the third and fourth quarters was all it took for Miami to take control for good, and beat the Magic for the third time in three meetings this season – after surviving a pair of earlier nail-biters. It’s now the second-longest winning streak in American major sports, behind only the Lakers’ run. Baseball’s New York Giants won 26 straight games in 1916, the New En-

gland Patriots took 21 consecutive NFL games in 2003 and 2004, and the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins won 17 consecutive times in 1993. For the Heat, it’s 27 and counting. This one, like so many others lately, hardly came easily, with Miami not putting the game away until the second half. Both teams were missing key components, Dwyane Wade for Miami and Nik Vucevic for Orlando. Wade missed his second straight contest with a sore right knee, one that he said before the game had been bothering him periodically since March 9 and then flared up after a collision against Boston last week. He had an MRI exam over the weekend to rule out any major problems and will be listed as day-to-day before the game in Chicago on Wednesday. Vucevic sat his third

Compounding the injury issues for Orlando was losing power forward Andrew Nicholson, the team’s first player off the bench Monday, to a sprained left ankle just 1:52 after he checked in for what was the only time. A 9-2 run early in the third gave Miami what was then its biggest lead, 64-53. Instead of deflating the Magic, it seemed to almost inspire the hosts, who answered with probably their best 5-minute stretch of the game, capped by a 3-pointer by Nelson with 3 minutes left that tied the game at 68-all. And when James missed a layup at the other end, then got called for a foul after the reAP photo bound, Orlando may very well have been thinking that the Heat forward LeBron James shoots in front of Magic forward Maurice streak could soon be snapped. Harkless during the first half of Monday night’s game in Orlando, Fla. Nope. The Heat won, 108-94, for their 27th straight victory.

Coach Q: ‘We didn’t respond to challenge’ • HAWKS Continued from page C1 “We didn’t respond to the challenge that was there tonight and I was disappointed with how we played and what we gave them,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. Michael Frolik had two goals and an assist for the Hawks, who have lost two in a row. Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews also scored, and Duncan Keith finished with three assists. The Hawks were without right wing Marian Hossa for the second straight game because of an upper-body injury. Hossa isn’t expected to play tonight against Calgary, but could return this weekend. Toews gave the Hawks the lead when he beat Jonathan Quick with a backhander early in the third period, but Tyler Toffoli responded with a tying snap shot with 11:54 remaining. Dwight King also scored for Los Angeles, which will be honored at the White House today for winning the Stanley Cup last season.

Kings right wing Dustin Brown celebrates his winning goal as Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford (50) and teammate Justin Williams watch during the third period of Monday night’s game at the United Center. “We kept battling,” Toffoli said. “Pucks started going in. We’d lost two at home, so we wanted to get the road trip going well. Now it’s important to carry it into the next game.” Kopitar picked up a loose puck, skated in and sent a beautiful shot over a sliding

Oduya and into the upper right corner of the goal to tie it at 1 in the second. It was the first goal for Los Angeles since Stoll scored a power-play goal in the third period of a 3-2 victory over Phoenix on March 19. After Stoll and Frolik exchanged scores in the middle of the period, Kane gave the Blackhawks the lead when he waited until the perfect moment to slide the puck past a prone Quick on the left side of the net for his team-best 17th of the season. Los Angeles needed just 40 seconds to respond, getting the tying goal at 19:59 of the period. Drew Doughty made a strong push that was denied by Crawford, but the rebound went off King’s skate and in for his fourth on the year. And just like that, the Kings had equaled their output from the previous three games in just one period. “For them to tie it up I think gave them the momentum,” Kane said. “But we came back and took the lead and obviously didn’t play very well with the lead. Tough loss for sure.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS – Ryan Anderson scored 23 points, Brian Roberts doubled his career high with 18 assists and short-handed New Orleans ended Denver’s 15-game win streak with a 110-86 victory Monday night. New Orleans, playing without its starting backcourt of Eric Gordon and Greivis Vasquez, won its third in a row and was in control all the way. Roberts, a rookie making his second start, had 11 assists by halftime, two more than his previous best. Anderson was 5 of 11 on 3-pointers, and the Hornets sank 14-of-25

Wittenberg was 10 when he saw 1st game • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Wittenberg gathered dozens of Hawks insights in a book titled “Tales From The Chicago Blackhawks Locker Room: A Collection of the Greatest Blackhawks Stories Ever Told.” He first published the book in 2003 and updated and revised it a year ago. The Hawks’ locker room has been filled with strong leaders and fun-loving pranksters throughout the decades, and Wittenberg has met many of both. “The captain of the team sets the tone,” Wittenberg said. “Dirk Graham was a very similar personality to Jonathan Toews. Keith Magnuson was, too. They were very business-like.” Discussing the Hawks is nothing new to Wittenberg, who attended his first game in 1946 as a 10-year-old living

on the city’s West Side. His father took him to a playoff game between the Hawks and the Montreal Canadiens, and he was hooked. As a teenager, Wittenberg would hop on the streetcar heading east on Madison Street and hop off at the stadium. Every game was different, but the intensity was the same. Goalies didn’t wear masks. Wins were more precious than teeth. Every bruise and scratch carried purpose, which was to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup at the end of the season. Back then, Wittenberg never could have imagined that he would earn a Stanley Cup ring some day. It happened in 2010. Kane’s game-winner against the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final marked the franchise’s first championship in 49 years. Everyone in the organization celebrated, not only the sweat-soaked players

on the ice, and the Hawks thanked many longtime employees by distributing Stanley Cup rings appraised at $30,000 apiece. Wittenberg was surprised and honored to receive a ring, which weighs a pound and a half. If the Hawks perform as well in the playoffs as they have during a shortened regular season, a good chance exists that another ring could be on the way. “The chemistry has to work,” Wittenberg said. “In 2010, I don’t think anybody predicted that the Hawks would win the Stanley Cup. “But they came together at the right time.” So did Wittenberg and the Hawks.

MINNESOTA

Gophers fire coach Tubby Smith after 6 seasons By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota fired Tubby Smith on Monday, cutting ties with the veteran coach one day after the Golden Gophers lost to Florida in the NCAA tournament. Athletics director Norwood Teague announced the decision Monday and said it was time for a “fresh set of eyes” on the program. Smith was 124-81 (.610) in six

seasons at Minnesota, helping to bring the program back to respectability and ramping up expectations for a team hit hard by an academic cheating scandal. Smith won 20 games five times. But he went just 46-62 in Big Ten play and never finished higher than sixth in the conference. The Gophers made three NCAA tournament appearances under Smith. They beat UCLA this year before losing Sunday. “Tubby has had a long and

distinguished career and we feel it’s time for a fresh set of eyes for our student-athletes and our program in general,” Teague said. “We are grateful to Tubby and his entire staff for their hard Tubby Smith work and dedication to this university, our students and the entire Minnesota community.”

Smith was welcomed with wild enthusiasm after he left powerhouse Kentucky in 2007, hailed as the savior to a program that Dan Monson never was able to raise back out of the abyss created from a the academic fraud that ended up wiping out the team’s Final Four appearance in 1997. Smith won 20 games his first season and took the team to the NCAA tournament the following year, restoring some sense of pride to a team that at

one time was the most popular draw in the Twin Cities. But the success seemed to level off after that. The Gophers made the tournament again in 2010, missed it in 2011 and settled for an NIT bid last year as fans started to grow impatient. “I want to thank the University of Minnesota and the people of Minnesota for giving me the opportunity to lead the Golden Gopher basketball program for six years,” Smith said in a statement provided by the school.

“Our staff did things the right way and will leave knowing that the program is in far better shape than when we arrived.” This year’s team started off 15-1 and rose as high as No. 8, with wins over Michigan State, Illinois and Memphis during that run. But it quickly came back down to earth, losing seven of 10 games in Big Ten play and squeaking into the tournament as a No. 11 seed thanks in large part to a late-season win over then-No. 1 Indiana at home.

FLORIDA GULF COAST

Eagles savoring the moment Florida next up in regional semis By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press FORT MYERS, Fla. – Sherwood Brown only wanted a bagel. The Florida Gulf Coast star walked into a restaurant on campus Monday and was quickly surrounded. People wanted autographs. People wanted photos. People just wanted to yell words of encouragement. A school that opened a mere 16 years ago finds itself frontand-center in March Madness, one of only 16 college basket-

ball teams left from a field of 68, hoping to win the NCAA national championship. “I had no idea it was going to be like this, but I’m loving it,” Brown said as he made his escape from the shop. “I feel like we’re getting a lot of America behind us. I guess you could say we’re a part of America’s team at this point.” And the Eagles spent the day savoring their moment. Lines in the campus bookstore snaked from one side to the other, more than 100 people waiting for the chance to pay for their FGCU shirts and hats. Phone lines were jammed by those seeking tickets for this weekend’s South Regional, and even the university president half-seriously wondered

their region, FGCU knocked off both No. 2 Georgetown and No. 7 San Diego State in Philadelphia during the weekend to keep their season going. Enfield’s lone mistake so far in the NCAA tournament might have been what happened when he went to bed around 5:30 a.m. Monday, roughly two hours after the Eagles landed home in Fort Myers after earning a spot in the regional semifinals. Before Enfield went to sleep, he forgot to silence his ringer. Suffice to say, he was awakened long before he wanted. “It’s part of the moment,” Enfield said. “We’re happy to sacrifice a little sleep for the success of our program.” Here’s maybe the best way

if he would be able to obtain what he needed. And as they arrived at classes, players were met with applause. “It’s so brand new,” Eagles coach Andy Enfield said Monday, as emails popped into his mailbox at a fairly dizzying rate. “No one knows – no one knew – what FGCU stood for, the letters. Now it puts our university in a national spotlight and rightly so, because this is a great place. It’s a young, vibrant university with just a lot of energy. I’ve been trying to tell that story to a lot of people.” The Eagles play Florida in the South Regional semifinals Friday night, two wins from a most-improbable trip to the Final Four. Seeded 15th in

EAST LANSING, Mich. – The Big Ten has a nation-high four teams still in the NCAA tournament, bolstering its season-long boast that its conference is the best in college basketball. The Big Ten has combined to win 10 games so far, its best showing through the round of 32 – ever. And, it could get even better. An All-Big Ten Final Four is possible because top-seeded Indiana, second-seeded Ohio State, third-seeded Michigan State and fourth-seeded Michigan will compete this week in different regions. “The fact that there are four teams advancing shows that this conference prepares you for any type of team or game,” Hoosiers coach Tom Crean wrote in a text message Monday morning while preparing to play fourth-seeded Syracuse in the East Regional semifinals. “You develop possession by possession appreciation.” Indiana played grindit-out, low-scoring games during the Big Ten – going 0-3 when held to fewer than 60 points – and had to rally late in some other games to win. The experiences paid off when the Hoosiers, who won the Big Ten regular-season title, needed to close with a 10-0 run to beat ninth-seeded Temple, 58-52, and get to the regional semifinals for the second straight year. Being in closely contested games also seemed to help the Big Ten tournament champion Buckeyes, who advanced to a school-record fourth consecutive round of 16 by making enough stops and shots to outlast 10th-seeded Iowa State, 78-75. “Playing 21 straight Big Ten games with the caliber of players, teams and coaches that we have in the conference does prepare you for anything,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “You face so many different styles from how teams defend ball screens to how they run their offenses. “I’m happy as heck for the

Michigan State will be matched up with second-seeded Duke in the Midwest, a highly anticipated game featuring coaches who have combined to appear in 25 regional semifinals since 1998. Michigan, which has won two NCAA tournament games for the first time since 1994, will have to get past top-seeded Kansas in the South. The Big Ten had seven teams start the NCAA tournament last week and only fifth-seeded Wisconsin failed to advance, losing by 11 points to 12th-seeded Mississippi. Minnesota routed UCLA by 20 – though that didn’t help Tubby Smith keep his job because he was fired Monday, a day after losing by 14 to Florida. Illinois beat Colorado before losing a competitive game with second-seeded Miami. The Golden Gophers and Fighting Illini helped to help the conference win 10 games, a total that trails the Big East’s record of 11 wins through the round of 32 in 2009 and 2012, according to STATS. The Big Ten had won nine games four times up to this point of the NCAA tournament, including last season, when it also sent four teams to the regional semifinals.

TV ratings up for tourney’s 1st week The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The NCAA tournament’s first week has earned its highest TV rating in 15 years. The broadcasts on CBC, TBS, TNT and truTV averaged a 5.8 household rating and 12 share, the highest rating for the tournament’s first week since 1998. That year, the rating was 5.9 and 15 share. The networks say that’s up 27 percent from last year’s 5.6 and 11. The broadcasts also had the highest viewership since 1993, averaging 8.9 million

total viewers – a 9 percent increase from a year ago. The third-round games Sunday averaged a 7.1 and 14 share, the highest for the tournament’s first Sunday since 2000 when it had a 7.2 and 17 share and up 27 percent from last year’s 5.6 and 11. This is the third season of CBS and Turner’s 14-year, $10.8 billion contract to televise every game of the tournament in its entirety.

ginia, Iowa State, Texas and Purdue. Iowa showed glimpses of both sluggish and stellar play in toppling Miami in its opener. The Hawkeyes got behind by as much as 34-27 and looked lethargic despite the support of nearly 7,000 Iowa fans – third-best among the 16 opening-round sites. But a few positive plays swung momentum back in Iowa’s corner, and the Hawkeyes won, 69-53. “To be honest, I just think we have the ability to turn it on when we are playing good teams,” Iowa senior center Morgan Johnson said. “We normally play to the level of competition. If that happens, that’s going to be awesome for us.” Iowa isn’t as deep as Notre Dame, but the Hawkeyes have multiple players who can give defenses fits. Johnson and guard Jaime Printy, also a senior, can be an effective inside-outside combination. Sophomore Samantha Logic is averaging 6.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists, and she had 23 points in the win over the Hurricanes. “Iowa has some post shooters and a big presence overall. They are a smart team and run a motion offense. It’s just about playing team defense,” Loyd said. The Hawkeyes will seek to build off the energy provided by their crowd and seize control early. But that won’t last forever, and Iowa knows it will have to make a number of huge plays to pull off what would be a massive upset. “We just have to play in control, whatever we do,” Logic said. “We’re going to look to push when we can, but you can’t force too much against them. You can’t give them any extra opportunities.”

IOWA CITY, Iowa – It’s hard not to view Notre Dame’s NCAA tournament draw as the worst among the top seeds. Instead of playing at home like Baylor, Stanford and Connecticut, Notre Dame was shipped off to Iowa City. Tonight, they’ll face ninth-seeded Iowa in the second round in front of a hostile crowd of as many as 10,000 people. This would be a much bigger problem if the Fighting Irish weren’t so good on the road. Notre Dame (32-1) will put its perfect road record on the line against Johnsburg alumna Melissa Dixon and the Hawkeyes (21-12). The Fighting Irish have won at Connecticut, Tennessee and everywhere else in this remarkable season, and they’re confident they can do the same at Iowa. “I think we’ve been road tested and we’re battle tested,” Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. “We have gone to a lot of tough places on the road. So we know what that’s going to be like.” What’s made the Fighting Irish perhaps the best team in the country outside of Baylor is their depth. Notre Dame’s ability to overwhelm an opponent was on display in an impressive blowout of Tennessee-Martin on Sunday. The undersized Skyhawks decided to let tiny guard Heather Butler shoot at will, and the 5-foot-5 Butler exploded for 37 points against the Big East champions. It hardly made a dent against the Fighting Irish. Four players scored in double figures, led by Jewell Loyd’s 27 points and Kayla McBride’s 22 points and 10 rebounds, as Notre Dame cruised to a 97-64 victory. “Offensively, we were on. We shot the ball extremely well. Eight turnovers in the game, and you know, I thought it was a very good game considering we had not played since, I think 11 days since our last game,” McGraw said. “I thought we would be a little rusty but we really came out and looked sharp.” Few expect the inconsistent Hawkeyes to beat Notre Dame, despite their homecourt advantage. But Iowa has shown it could make things tough on the Fighting Irish. The Hawkeyes have been an enigma all season – but they’re tough to beat when they’re on. Iowa went just 8-8 in the Big Ten season, included five straight losses from late January until mid-February. But the Hawkeyes are also 7-3 against opponents who were ranked when they played them, including West Vir-

NIT ROUNDUP

Sandusky speaks again, maintains innocence

Providence advances to quarterfinals

By GENARO C. ARMAS and MARK SCOLFORO The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Nine months after being convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys – a scandal that destroyed the once unimpeachable reputation of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno – Jerry Sandusky again is claiming he did nothing wrong. Sandusky has rarely spoken about the allegations, although he has consistently maintained his innocence since his November 2011 arrest. The latest statements came Monday in portions of a taped interview aired on NBC’s “Today” and transcripts posted on the web site of a filmmaker who aims to clear Paterno’s name. In the interviews, the for-

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky leaves the Centre County Courthouse on Oct. 9 after being sentenced in Bellefonte, Pa. mer Penn State assistant coach denied having inappropriate contact with the boys, although he acknowledged he may have “tested boundar-

ies.” “Yeah, I hugged them,” Sandusky said, according to transcripts posted on the filmmaker’s site. “Maybe I

tested boundaries. Maybe I shouldn’t have showered with them. Yeah, I tickled them. “I looked at them as being probably younger than even some of them were. But I didn’t do any of these horrible acts and abuse these young people. I didn’t violate them. I didn’t harm them.” Although Sandusky’s comments aired and posted Monday were given to a man endeavoring to clear Paterno’s name, the late coach’s family has distanced themselves from the statements. Wick Sollers, a Paterno family lawyer, said in a statement that Sandusky’s statements are “transparently self-serving and yet another insult to the victims.” “The Paterno family would prefer to remain silent on this matter, but they feel it is im-

portant to make it clear that they had no role in obtaining or releasing this recording,” Sollers said. “Moreover, they believe that any attempt to use this recording as a defense of Joe Paterno is misguided and inappropriate.” Sandusky told filmmaker John Ziegler he was not sure whether Paterno, who was fired after Sandusky’s arrest, would have let him keep coaching if he suspected Sandusky was a pedophile. Sandusky was investigated by university police after showering with a boy on campus in 1998, but remained one of Paterno’s top assistants through 1999. “If he absolutely thought I was, I’d say no,” Sandusky said in the audio recording. “If he had a suspicion, I don’t know the answer to that.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Vincent Council scored seven of his 12 points in the closing 5:21, including a key 3-point play off his only basket of the game, to lift Providence to a 7768 win over Robert Morris in the second round of the NIT on Monday night. Providence will face Baylor in the quarterfinals Wednesday night. BYU 90, Mercer 71: At Provo, Utah, Brandon Davies had 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead BYU to a victory over Mercer in the second round of the NIT. Travis Smith scored 19 points for Mercer and Langston Hall added 15.

HEALTH WATCH

Brandpoint

Safer hospitals You can take steps to help ensure your safety whether in the hospital for a planned or unexpected circumstance: n Hospital infections are a top concern, especially for surgical patients. According to the World Health Organization, hand hygiene is the single most important measure to reduce health care-related infections. n While unpredictable progress in recovery is not unusual, it’s important to minimize the risk of avoidable setbacks such as falls and readmissions. NPSF often points to research indicating more than 500,000 falls occur in U.S. hospitals each year, causing 150,000 injuries. Muscle weakness, medication-related impairment and age can increase a patient’s risk of falling. Follow your physician’s directions and the hospital’s procedures for surer footing.

New research shows a simple test that analyzes the chemical signature of a patient’s exhaled breath could help detect stomach cancer, according to the British Journal of Cancer. Scientists from China and Israel, who worked on the study, hope the test will offer an easier alternative to an endoscopy, where a doctor inserts a tube down a patient’s throat. The nanomaterial sensors, used to detect biomarkers of cancer in the patient’s breath, are 90 percent effective at distinguishing patients with cancer from patients with other stomach complaints. The sensors also had a 90 percent success rate at distinguishing late-stage stomach cancer from early-stage. While more testing and development are needed before the breath test can become widely available, researchers call the developments “promising” and “encouraging,” and plan to use the sensors in a multi-clinic trial.

HEALTH TIP

Plyometric workouts Plyometric workouts long have been known as one of the most efficient and effective ways to train, because they simultaneously burn calories and build muscle. Plyometrics are a type of exercise that encourages muscle development, power, speed and endurance. “Plyos” include anything that involves jumping. Start with something less complicated like jump rope, skipping or high knees. Gradually add squat jumps, split lunge jumps or box jumps.

The science of sleep We know we need rest, but why? By Dr. JEFF HERSH GateHouse News Service Sleep is a naturally occurring state of decreased consciousness that is easily reversible. This reversibility differentiates it from coma or hibernation. There are two major sleep phases, REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM. We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, so it must be important. This is substantiated by the fact that all mammals and birds sleep, as do many reptiles and even fish. Newborn humans require up to 18 hours of sleep a day. This decreases to about 12 hours for toddlers, 9 to 10 for teens and 8 hours for adults (less in the elderly). Of course, these are average numbers, and there is a lot of individual variability. Symptoms of severe sleep deprivation include physical issues such as decreased immune system functionality, increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and even increased risk of death. In fact, rats (with a normal lifespan of 2 to 3 years) will die within weeks if they are deprived of sleep. Many emotional and cognitive issues also have been linked to sleep deprivation: n Fatigue n Moodiness, irritability n Decreased concentration, coordination, creativity and ability to solve problems n Memory issues n Hallucinations

What it does There are many theories why sleep is needed: To conserve energy: This ties in with why some animals hibernate. It also is supported by the fact that only 2 percent of a person’s body weight is brain, but the brain burns more than 20 percent of the body’s energy. Furthermore, body caloric use and temperature decrease during sleep, although only by 10 percent.

To allow healing and restoration: This is supported by the decrease in immune function, as well as other negative physical effects, that come from sleep deprivation. There also are hormonal changes during sleep (for example, increased growth hormone release). It is not clear why rest could not be sufficient for this. To allow brain development: This is supported by the increased sleep requirement for infants. However, it does not explain why sleep is required throughout life, including into old age.

“To sleep, perchance to dream”: This fits with the development of hallucinations in people severely sleep-deprived. However, this just brings up the question as to why dreaming is necessary.

To enhance memory and learning: This is supported by the fact that the amount of data “in-flowing” essentially stops during sleep, possibly allowing thought organiza-

tion and establishment of memory. Some research has shown brain activity in rats during the “learning” of a maze is similar to the activity during that night’s sleep. Other studies have shown learning is inhibited by sleep deprivation. This also might explain dreaming, which could be random thoughts “popping up” while the day’s learnings are solidified.

Too little sleep Insufficient sleep is extremely common, with a recent survey showing one-third of adults get less

than 7 hours of sleep on working days. People getting sufficient sleep typically wake up on their own, without the need for their alarm clock or “snooze” button. With sufficient sleep, you should feel refreshed and rejuvenated in the morning. Daytime drowsiness or difficulty maintaining attention may indicate insufficient sleep, as may falling asleep before going to bed (such as while watching TV in the early evening). Insufficient sleep can happen because of too few hours of sleep, but it also can be because of poor sleep

quality (such as frequent arousals). Many medical conditions can affect sleep quality, as can many medications, drugs, alcohol and irregular sleep times, such as from shift work or travel across time zones. If you have symptoms of sleep deprivation, you should keep a sleep log to see if you are dedicating sufficient time to sleeping. But if symptoms still persist, you should see your health care provider to be evaluated.

Are we overdosing on vitamin supplements? Whether you should or should not take daily vitamin supplements remains a controversial question. There is general agreement that women of reproductive age should take folic acid supplements to help prevent spinal or neural tube defects. A recent study also showed folic acid taken during pregnancy might help prevent autism in the child. Another recent study reported that vitamin supplementation does not have any effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases. Taking vitamin D and calcium supplements long have

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold been recommended for older women to help prevent bone fractures. However, the results of a just published article stated the benefits of healthy women taking calcium and vitamin D are overstated and may even be hazardous to their health, the hazard being an increased risk of developing kidney stones. Fifty-five to 60 percent of all women older than 60 are

taking vitamin D and calcium. Many of them have osteopenia or osteoporosis, but many do not. Overall, about 50 percent of all adults in this country take some type of dietary supplement. It has been reported to be a $30 billion industry. Why do so many people take vitamins? A study was done to answer this question. Results showed 45 percent of those taking vitamins do so because they believe they will improve their health. Other reasons were to maintain their health (33 percent), improve bone health (25 percent) and to get more energy (11

percent). The most commonly used supplements were multivitamins (31 percent), calcium (12 percent) and fatty acids or fish oils (10 percent). About 25 percent of the respondents said they were taking supplements because their health care professional recommended it. Can taking high doses of vitamins cause any health problems? Yes, it can. A good example is the presence of kidney stones when taking too much calcium. Individuals who take megadoses of vitamins are at risk of developing various types of

medical maladies. However, most people who take just one multivitamin a day usually do not get into any trouble. So before you start taking vitamin supplements, have a discussion with your health care provider about taking them.

‘Natural’ cleaners still can sicken pets By SUE MANNING The Associated Press

Strosnider’s Hardware employee Kathie Birenbaum arranges a display of different products to kill mildew in northwest Washington. Mildew can lead to respiratory problems or other allergic symptoms, health experts say.

Mildew starts small Target black spots correctly while spring cleaning By CAROLE FELDMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – It may start with a couple of small dark spots on the grout where the shower stall meets the tiled wall. A few days later, they multiply. Mildew. “For most people, it’s just kind of an ugly pain. Their bathroom gets these black stains,” said Ken Collier, editor-in-chief of The Family Handyman. For others, though, “it’s an allergen, like cat hair, dog hair,” he said. If it’s not removed, it can result in respiratory problems or other allergy symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mold and mildew, which the Federal Emergency Management Agency calls “mold in early stage,” can grow on a wide range of surfaces as long as moisture is present, and they can give your house a musty smell. “It’s an indication of dampness, like in bathrooms that are not ventilated very well,” said Kathie Birenbaum, who works in households at Strosniders Hardware Store in Bethesda, Md. “Molds can gradually destroy the things they grow on,” the Environmental

Protection Agency says in a pamphlet for consumers on its website. “You can prevent damage to your home and furnishings, save money and avoid potential health problems by controlling moisture and eliminating mold growth.” It’s important to do both – control the moisture and clean up the mold – to keep it from growing back, the EPA says. Cleaning large areas – more than 10 square feet, the EPA says – might require a contractor trained in mold removal. For smaller areas, it can be a do-it-yourself job. Frequently, the bathroom is the first place a homeowner or apartment dweller might notice mildew. “A lot of people take a shower, get out of the shower” and go on their way, Collier said. “Basically, they’ve left all this water on the walls and floor of the shower and surprise, surprise, the bathroom is damp and you find mildew growing on the grout.” Often, condensation – not a leak – is the source of the moisture, Collier said. “The bathroom fan is a big part of keeping the moisture level down in the bathroom,” he said. “If there isn’t one, put one in. If there’s a small

one, put in a bigger one or use it more.” Opening the bathroom window also helps, as does more frequent cleaning, according to the EPA. Collier also suggests using a squeegee to wipe down the shower walls. There are many products available for cleaning mildew and mold, but homeowners also can mix their own. A bleach solution that CDC says should be “no more than 1 cup of bleach in 1 gallon of water” can be used to clean and kill mildew. “For the typical homeowner, they would scrub it down really well with bleach water and then they should seal the grout, seal it once a year or so to keep it water tight,” Collier said. Wear protective gloves while cleaning. The CDC also recommends protective eyewear. If you can’t get rid of the mildew with bleach, you might have to dig out the grout and replace it, Collier said. For those looking for an environmentally friendlier alternative to bleach, Collier said one of the products that mold experts recommend is Concrobium, which also can be used as a fog if a whole room is affected.

Man hesitates before making commitment to messy marriage Dear Abby: “Rita” and I have been together three years and are getting ready to make the final commitment of marriage. My problem is she’s a slob. Rita isn’t a “hoarder,” but she does things like take the plastic off a package and drop it on the floor. (Don’t get me started on the mess she leaves in the bathroom.) I love her and would be willing to have separate bathrooms if that’s what it takes. But I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in a house that looks the way hers does right now. The thought of raising kids in that kind of atmosphere chills me. I’m no neat freak, but at least I put my trash in the wastebasket. Rita gets offended if I raise the issue. I have offered to help her clean her house, but I don’t want to nag because her mother already does, and it makes Rita respond like a defiant child. Have you any ideas about what I can do to keep our relationship – and hopefully our future – intact? – Whatever Rita Wants Dear Whatever: It appears your girlfriend wants to continue living exactly the way she is. Because she becomes defensive at the suggestion that she make a better effort, accept you are not going to change her. She obviously

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips has many good qualities or your relationship would not have made it this far. There is help for people who are disorganized and sloppy, but only if they are willing to accept they need it. Some people have successfully used a system originated by Marla Cilley, aka the FlyLady. (“Fly” stands for “Finally Loving Yourself.”) To find out about her system, visit www.flylady.net and click on “Get Started.” Dear Abby: I’m stuck in a dead-end job that doesn’t pay much money, so I have to rely on help from my parents. I’d like to return to school for my master’s, but a lack of funds and mild depression keep pulling me back. I told my mother about how I have been feeling, hoping for reassurance – just a general, “Everything is going to get better.” This is a woman who has longed for me to get married and have children, which I thought was no different than most mothers. I now realize I was wrong. Her motivation speech was: “You have always been beautiful, and I want you to see it. Don’t you know that you’re

good enough to become a rich man’s wife?” Now I realize being a rich man’s wife is what she always wanted for me. I always thought I could be more than that and support myself without the need of a man. I also believed I could one day be a writer. Independence has always been important to me, and I would never marry unless I was. Now, however, my self-esteem is shot, and since I can’t afford therapy, I feel my mother’s plan is probably the only thing I can hope for. How can I improve my self-esteem so I can make the right decision? – Depressed

In Lewisville, Texas Dear Depressed: A good first step would be to stop listening to your mother. Live your own life, and now that you know what poor judgment she has, make your own decisions about the path you will follow. A suggestion: Write the story down and be sure to mention how you persisted in spite of your mother’s advice. You may find inspiration in your own words. And if it’s published, so might others.

As the time nears for spring cleaning and companies offer more environmentally friendly alternatives to toxic cleaners, veterinarians say pet owners should keep in mind that what’s green to a human can be dangerous – even deadly – to animals. “People expose their animals without even realizing the risk,” said Dr. Karl Jandrey, who works in the emergency and critical care units at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at the University of California, Davis. “That’s the most common thing that happens when you come to our emergency room – the clients put their pets at risk because they were unaware of how significant the damage could be.” Most household cleaners are safe if used as directed on labels, but pet owners who make their own cleansers using natural ingredients don’t have the warnings or instructions that come with commercial products. Cats, for example, can get stomachaches from essential oils added for orange, lemon or peppermint scents in cleaners, said Dr. Camille DeClementi, a senior toxicologist at the Animal Poison Control Center run by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Urbana. Most commercial green products are safe for animals, DeClementi said, but owners still should exercise the same precautions as with chemical alternatives, such as keeping pets away from an area being cleaned, not using sprays directly on a pet and making sure dogs don’t chew on the products. If a product says “Keep out of reach of children,” keep it away from pets too, DeClementi said. Caroline Golon, an Ohio mother of two children younger than 5 and owner of two Persian cats, said she became concerned about cleaning products before her children were born, when she noticed how often the cats jumped between floors and counters. The Columbus resident uses only unscented green products or vinegar and water to clean, a wateronly steam mop on floors and washes the cats’ dishes and litter boxes with hot water and green dish soap. “There are varying de-

“Some [green products] still have their own toxicities. In general, they probably are a little less toxic, but not free of toxic potential. They just have a need for a larger dose to cause the same kind of symptoms.” Karl Jandrey Doctor at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at the University of California, Davis. grees of green, and there are a lot of mainstream brands now that have a green version. You have to do a little research to see what you like best,” said Golon, a pet blogger. The “green” label on products can be misleading because it still can be dangerous, Jandrey added. “Some still have their own toxicities. In general, they probably are a little less toxic, but not free of toxic potential. They just have a need for a larger dose to cause the same kind of symptoms,” he

said. He cited antifreeze as an example. The pet-friendly version of antifreeze, propylene glycol, is “still an antifreeze product. It’s still intoxicating to patients, our dogs and cats. It’s just not as intoxicating as ethylene glycol.” It takes more of the propylene glycol to be as deadly as the ethylene glycol, “but it is still intoxicating though it might say pet-friendly in the ads or on the bottle,” Jandrey said. Labels can’t always account for every reaction, Jandrey said. “Each intoxicating product has different concentrations, and each dog or cat, each species, has a different sensitivity to that product. So what might be intoxicating to a dog is really, really intoxicating to a cat because cats might be more sensitive,” he said. Nancy Guberti, a New York City nutritionist and healthy lifestyle coach for the past 15 years, said some products will say green when they are not. “Natural means nothing. The consumer has to be educated. It’s all about awareness,” she said.

A little salt goes a long way Dear Dr. K: I’ve always enjoyed my food well-seasoned. Now my doctor wants me to cut down on my salt intake. Any suggestions? Dear Reader: Salt (sodium chloride) is like many other things in our food: We need it, just not in the amounts we take in. For most of us, the salt in our diet is too much of a good thing. Salt helps our nerves transmit impulses. Muscle fibers need salt to contract and relax. Sodium helps the body maintain a proper fluid balance. (Not to mention it makes our food taste good.) But it doesn’t take much sodium to accomplish any of these essential jobs. And consuming too much salt can put you at risk for high blood pressure, stroke and heart problems. How can you cut down? Start by getting a sense of where the salt in your diet comes from. I’ve put a table on my website that lists the top sources of sodium in the American diet. You might be surprised by how much salt there is in certain foods. The most sodium-heavy foods we eat tend to be processed ones. So minimize the

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff amount of foods that are salted, smoked or cured, such as cold cuts, bacon and cheese. The same goes for canned soups and vegetables, mixes for baked goods and other prepared foods that are high in salt. With packaged foods you get in the market, the Nutrition Source label tells you how much salt is in the food. With canned soups, for example, you’ll find that some have a lot less than others. Replace processed foods with foods made from scratch. Eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain no added salt. You may be skeptical, but it is entirely possible to wean yourself off a taste for salt. Your taste buds can easily adapt if you cut back a little at a time. Replace salt with herbs, spices and flavorings. Experiment with garlic, oregano, rosemary, curry, cinnamon and smoked paprika. Lemon juice and flavored vinegars, and fragrant oils

such as sesame or walnut, offer a sodium-free taste boost. (But beware of store-bought sauces that tend to contain a lot of salt.) When you eat out, if your food is being made to order, ask that it be made without salt. And ask for gravies or sauces (which tend to be loaded with salt) to be served on the side. If you’re eating in a chain restaurant, it may have a menu that tells you the amount of salt (and saturated fats, cholesterol and other nutrients) in each meal. I know how hard it can be to cut down on salt. I once had a patient who arrived at the hospital in heart failure. She swore she was following her low-salt diet. As she was being wheeled to get a chest X-ray, I saw her pull a salami out of her purse and start eating it. When I asked her about it, she shrugged. “I love it, doctor,” she said. “At my age, I love it maybe more than life itself.”

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - In coming months, you could become involved with a powerful partner in a large, complex enterprise. The chances of success look encouraging, provided you are both striving for the same goals. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be cognizant of the odds against you when you set out to address a career situation. Don’t waste time doing it the hard way if you don’t have to, regardless of precedent. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Think twice before you stop doing something the way it’s always been done. If you leap into a new method without the proper preparation, you might be sorry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t overpower a friend with your contrary views. If he or she isn’t interested, imposing your ideas won’t go over too well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You could have a short fuse when it comes to your tolerance for minor irritations. Try to keep everything in perspective, and remain unruffled by adversity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unless you have something complimentary to say to co-workers, it might be best if you don’t say anything at all. Even a well-meaning criticism could open Pandora’s box. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you are too demanding, the very persons you are trying to control are likely to rebel. Treat everyone with respect. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your behavior with outsiders is likely to be far more respectful and pleasant than it is with your mate and/or family. Be honest about who is to blame for any dissension. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s extremely important that you stop and think before you speak, regardless to whom. You could carelessly say something difficult to retract. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You’re pretty good at giving advice, but not so when it comes to following guidance. This will be especially true when it comes to resource management. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Owing to much impatience on your part, you could damage your recent headway on an important venture. Try to take things one step at a time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Basically, you’re an imaginative person, but your thinking might be more negative than positive today. Don’t allow a dark outlook to screen opportunities from your view. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t make important financial decisions without first checking with the parties involved. Someone else might know how to aid your plans.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Surrealist painter Salvador Dali said, “At the age of 6, I wanted to be a cook. At 7, I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.” If your partner’s ambition in the bidding carries you to heights that your cards do not justify, try to ind a line of play that will justify his optimism. In today’s deal, for example, suppose North and South soar to seven spades. West leads the club king. What should South do? The irst three bids in the auction are predictable (unless you have some snazzy responses to a strong, artiicial and forcing two-club opening bid). Then, though, North’s actual choice of six spades would not meet with universal approval. A jump to four hearts would be popular if it were read as a splinter bid, showing some values, four-plus spades and at most a singleton heart. When North jumped to the small slam, though, South read his partner for strong trumps, so thought his four aces justiied rais-

ing to the grand slam. Declarer has to assume the diamond inesse is winning. But he still needs to be careful with his entries. South should win with his club ace, cash two hearts to discard dummy’s club loser (and to reduce the undertricks should things take a nasty turn), play off the spade ace, and lead a spade to dummy’s queen. He continues with a diamond to his queen, the diamond ace, a spade to dummy’s king, and a diamond ruff. Then he can claim because dummy is high, stating that he will ruff a heart or a club to get over there.
