Examination of gay rights set to continue today WHAT’S NEXT

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court dove into a historic debate on gay rights Tuesday that could soon lead to resumption of same-sex marriage in California, but the justices signaled they may not be ready for a major national ruling on whether America’s gays and lesbians have a right to marry. The court’s first major examination of gay rights in 10 years continues today, when the justices will consider the federal law that prevents legally married gay couples from receiving a range of benefits afforded to straight married people. The issue before the court Tuesday was more fundamental: Does the Constitution require that people be allowed to marry whom they choose, regardless of either partner’s gender? The fact that the question was in front of the Supreme Court at all was startling, given that no state recognized samesex unions before 2003 and 40 states still don’t allow them. There is no questioning the emotions the issue stirs. Demonstrators on both sides

The court will continue its examination of gay rights today as it takes on the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 federal law that defines marriage as one man and one woman. For updates throughout today, visit NWHerald.com.

WOODSTOCK – Shane Lamb took the stand Tuesday and again said it was he who delivered what was likely the fatal blow to a Johnsburg teen more than a decade ago. But Lamb has been granted immunity from murder charges related to the disappearance and presumed death of Brian Carrick in 2002. Instead it’s Mario Casciaro, the man who prosecutors say sent Lamb to collect on a drug debt, facing a murder charge. What Lamb testified to Tuesday was largely consistent with his testimony more than a year ago when Casciaro, 29, first went to trial. That ended with a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict.

Mario Casciaro

Prosecutors’ outline as to what happened remained the same from the first trial: 17-year-old Carrick owed Casciaro for marijuana, so Casciaro sicced “henchman” Lamb on him. All three men worked at what was then Val’s Foods in Johnsburg, where Carrick was last seen about 6:45 p.m. Dec. 20, 2002. Lamb said that Casciaro called him that evening, telling him to come talk to Carrick at the store.

Inside, a skeptical Justice Samuel Alito cautioned against a broad ruling in favor of gay marriage precisely because the issue is so new. “You want us to step in and

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man accused of raping women, often prostitutes or escorts he met through Craigslist, may have 20 as-yet-unidentified victims, prosecutors said. Charles R. Oliver, 44, of 407 W. Greenwood Ave., is charged with multiple counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, as well as kidnapping and unlawful restraint. There are five known victims, Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein said.

At a bond hearing Tuesday, Judge Sharon Prather increased Oliver’s bond to $3 million after prosecutors outlined the allegations against him. It had originally been set at $300,000 after he was first arrested.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Tragic day puts spotlight on fire safety March 8 is a day that many of us who live in McHenry will not soon forget. In separate incidents in the Lakeland Park subdivision, 20-yearold Carlos Arenas-Rodriguez died of carbon monoxide poisoning and 12-year-old Dayana Garcia died in a house fire. When firefighters arrived at Dayana’s home at 4510 Parkway Ave. at 1:20 a.m., they found it fully engulfed in flames. Dayana’s parents and three brothers – age 4, 6 and 18 – were able to make it out of the house. Dayana, a seventh-grader at Parkland Middle School, did not. The McHenry County Coroner’s Office determined that she died of smoke inhalation. The fire has been ruled accidental, although its exact cause is undetermined, according to a news release from McHenry Township Fire Chief Tony Huemann. In that same release, Chief Huemann offered some tips about smoke detectors that I’d like to share.

VIEWS Joan Oliver • Install smoke alarms on every level of a home, including the basement, making sure there is an alarm outside every sleeping area. New homes are required to have them, and all smoke alarms must be interconnected. • Hard-wired smoke alarms operate on household electrical current. They can be interconnected so that every alarm sounds regardless of the fire’s location. It gives occupants extra time to escape if they are in one part of the home and a fire breaks out in another. Alarms that are hardwired should have battery backups, and should be installed by a qualified electrician. • If you sleep with bedroom doors closed, have an electrician install interconnected smoke alarms in each room so that when one alarm sounds,

they all sound. • If someone in the home is deaf or hard of hearing, consider installing an alarm that combines flashing lights, vibration and sound. • Mount smoke alarms high on walls or ceilings. Ceiling-mounted alarms should be installed at least 4 inches away from the nearest wall; wall-mounted alarms should be installed 4 to 12 inches away from the ceiling. • If the ceilings are pitched, install the alarm near the ceiling’s highest point. • Don’t install smoke alarms near windows, doors or ducts. • Never paint smoke alarms. Paint, stickers or other decorations could keep the alarms from working. In addition to working smoke detectors, homes also should be equipped with a working carbon monoxide detector. If you have questions about either detector, call your local fire department. ••• If you’d like to help Dayana’s fam-

By NATALIYA VASILYEVA The Associated Press MOSCOW – A teenager adopted by an American couple has returned to Russia, claiming that his adoptive family treated him badly and that he lived on the streets of Philadelphia and stole just to survive, Russian state media reported. The allegations by Alexander Abnosov, who was adopted around five years ago and is now 18, will likely fuel outrage here over the fate of Russian children adopted by Americans. It’s an anger

Abnosov, who spoke in a soft voice and appeared somewhat restrained, complained to Rossiya that his adoptive mother was “nagging at small things.” “She would make any small problem big,” he said on Channel 1. He also told Channel 1 that he fled home because of the conflicts with his adoptive mother, staying on the streets for about three months and stealing. “I was stealing stuff and sold them to get some food,” he said with a shy smile. According to the daily

Komsomolskaya Pravda, Abnosov says that his parents visited him while he stayed in a shelter in Philadelphia, but that they didn’t ask him to come home as he’d expected. Channel 1 said his adoptive father gave him $500 to buy a ticket to Russia, though it wasn’t clear when he arrived here. The newspaper said it reached Abnosov’s adoptive mother, who denied driving him away. She was quoted as saying he was asked to come home, but said he wanted to return to Russia where he has relatives to care for.

U of I supercomputer running despite doubts By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Thom Dunning posed Monday in front of one of the dozens of cabinets that house the new Blue Waters supercomputer, a photographer’s lens an uncomfortable couple of feet from his face. “We’ve been far more uncomfortable,” the director of the National Supercomputing Applications joked, looking at Bill Kramer, who led the project to build what is among the world’s fastest computers at the University of Illinois. They joke now, with the $300 million machine running, but in late in 2011, some feared that the Blue Waters project was circling the drain. A big, $72 million building sat mostly empty waiting to

house Blue Waters as IBM, the original builder, pulled out after essentially concluding it couldn’t build and maintain the machine and make money doing it. A new builder had to be found, and fast, to stay within the timeline preferred by the primary financier, the National Science Foundation. “We knew many of those people – we knew that when they made this announcement that jobs were at risk, their role in national science computing was at risk,” said Barry Bolding, vice president of corporate marketing at Cray Inc. The company, known for building supercomputers, took over after IBM backed out. This week, with about 30 separate groups using Blue Waters, Dunning, Kramer and all of those people Bolding talked about can breathe easy.

Gov. Pat Quinn is expected on Thursday to join Dunning and others from the NCSA, along with people from Cray and the National Science Foundation, to proclaim a job well done. Blue Waters operates much like it was designed to do in 2007. The plan was to build what would be, at least for a short time, the fastest supercomputer in the world. But more importantly, Blue Waters would also be able to sustain a speed of at least one petaflop – a thousand trillion operations a second, a long-sought speed that makes massive computational projects possible. The NSF awarded the contract to the university and IBM, and agreed to provide most of the money, just over $200 million. The university contributed $100 million.

Ill. man charged with Judge: Panhandler can sue security firm “The political threatening lawmaker beneits of getting rid By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WHEATON – A Chicago man faces felony charges after authorities said he made threatening phone calls to a suburban lawmaker who called gay marriage “disordered.” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said Stephen Bona, 49, was released from jail Monday after posting 10 percent of his $150,000 bond. Berlin said Bona made two threatening calls to state Rep. Jeanne Ives, a Republican from Wheaton. It was reported that in a voicemail left at Ives’ district office Friday, a caller referenced a map that former vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin used to identify Democratic lawmakers she wanted to see defeated in the 2010 midterm elections. The map indicated targeted districts by showing

them in the cross hairs of a gun. In the voicemail the caller says: “Perhaps we should do the same for you. We know where you live.” Bona was charged Friday with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. In a statement Tuesday, Berlin said the charges were upgraded to threatening a public official, a felony, after a second threatening call was placed on Monday. Wheaton police arrested him Monday afternoon, Berlin said. On a Catholic Conference of Illinois radio show last month, Ives said same-sex marriages are “disordered” and that gay couples are trying to “weasel their way into acceptability.” She clarified that she opposes gay marriage, not same-sex couples in general. Ives said she stands by her comments. “I know I speak for my district when I speak on that issue,” she said.

CHICAGO – A panhandler can sue a private security firm for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights by stopping him from begging in a public square in downtown Chicago, a federal judge ruled this week. Free-speech cases often involve overstepping by government, but Securitas Security Services guards acted as government surrogates and thus could be held liable, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer found. Kim Pindak’s lawsuit, initially filed in 2010, alleges that Securitas enforces an unwritten “blanket prohibition on peaceful panhandling” at Daley Plaza, a popular tourist destination with its giant Pablo Picasso sculpture. City law prohibits aggressive panhandling, including unwanted touching, following people and using abusive language. But it does allow

of panhandlers are so much greater than the beneits of protecting panhandlers’ rights.” Mark Weinberg Attorney for Kim Pindak passively asking for donations in public places, which Pindak says he was doing. Pindak says that on at least one occasion, Securitas guards threatened to handcuff him and told him falsely that panhandling is prohibited in the plaza. In her 16-page ruling, released late Monday, Pallmeyer said Securitas guards “were regulating his speech when they interfered with his peaceful panhandling” and weren’t coping with any threat. Securitas spokeswoman Lynne Glovka said the com-

pany doesn’t comment on pending litigation. Pindak’s attorney welcomed the ruling, saying courts already established panhandling is protected speech. “You can yell anti-Obama rhetoric on a street, and you can ask people if they can spare a quarter,” Mark Weinberg said. Authorities, however, continue targeting panhandlers, he alleged. “The political benefits of getting rid of panhandlers are so much greater than the benefits of protecting panhandlers’ rights,” he said. “It’s the politically popular thing to do.” Pallmeyer also let Pindak continue his lawsuit against the Cook County Sheriff’s Department, saying there’s evidence the county has “a widespread practice of prohibiting panhandling.” Department spokesman Frank Bilecki said he couldn’t comment on unresolved cases.

The Wilmington High School students died March 11 when their vehicle skidded off a rural road, smashed through a guard rail on a bridge and landed upside down in a creek. Autopsies performed the next day showed all four drowned. Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil said toxicology results came back negative Monday for drugs or alcohol. The (Joliet) Herald-News reported that O’Neil has ruled the deaths accidental drownings.

Ex-Obama aide sues police over arrest CHICAGO – A former official with Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign has filed a federal lawsuit accusing Chicago police of improperly arresting him while investigating a sexual assault. Craig Huffman was an assistant treasurer for Obama’s 2004 campaign. He was arrested in 2011 at his real-estate investment firm after a hostess from the Tavern on Rush restaurant chose his image from a photo lineup. Huffman was later acquitted. Huffman was at the restaurant the night the hostess says someone groped her. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the suit accuses police of including his photo in the lineup even though he did not match a description of the suspect.

Health overhaul $338M lottery winner feels ‘pure joy’ will raise cost of claims, study says By ANGELA DELLI SANTI The Associated Press

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Medical claims costs – the biggest driver of health insurance premiums – will jump an average 32 percent for Americans’ individual policies under President Barack Obama’s overhaul, according to a study by the nation’s leading group of financial risk analysts. The report could turn into a big headache for the Obama administration at a time when many parts of the country remain skeptical about the Affordable Care Act. The estimates were recently released by the Society of Actuaries to its members. While some states will see medical claims costs per person decline, the report concluded the overwhelming majority will see double-digit increases in their individual health insurance markets, where people purchase coverage directly from insurers. The disparities are striking. By 2017, the estimated increase would be 62 percent for California, about 80 percent for Ohio, more than 20 percent for Florida and 67 percent for Maryland. Much of the reason for the higher claims costs is that sicker people are expected to join the pool, the report said. The report did not make similar estimates for employer plans, the mainstay for workers and their families. That’s because the primary impact of Obama’s law is on people who don’t have cover-

age through their jobs. The administration questions the design of the study, saying it focused only on one piece of the puzzle and ignored cost relief strategies in the law such as tax credits to help people afford premiums and special payments to insurers who attract an outsize share of the sick. The study also doesn’t take into account the potential price-cutting effect of competition in new state insurance markets that will go live on Oct. 1, administration officials said. At a White House briefing on Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said some of what passes for health insurance today is so skimpy it can’t be compared to the comprehensive coverage available under the law. “Some of these folks have very high catastrophic plans that don’t pay for anything unless you get hit by a bus,” she said. “They’re really mortgage protection, not health insurance.” A prominent national expert, recently retired Medicare chief actuary Rick Foster, said the report does “a credible job” of estimating potential enrollment and costs under the law, “without trying to tilt the answers in any particular direction.” “Having said that,” Foster added, “actuaries tend to be financially conservative, so the various assumptions might be more inclined to consider what might go wrong than to anticipate that everything will work beautifully.”

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – A New Jersey man says he felt “pure joy” at winning a $338 million Powerball jackpot but has no idea what he will do with the money – except buy a car, to replace his feet as his primary mode of transportation. Dominican immigrant Pedro Quezada, 45, and his wife, Ines, appeared at New Jersey lottery headquarters Tuesday to officially claim the prize. Both came in jeans, accompanied by four of his eight siblings and two nephews. The former bodega owner-operator, who came to the United States from the city of Jarabacoa 26 years ago, said his mind is not clear enough yet to figure out how he will use the money or where he might live. He did say he could use a good car. Asked what kind of

By COLLEEN LONG NEW YORK – The right people at the right time in the right location. That phrase – repeated over and over in a secret recording of a police supervisor – is at the crux of a civil rights challenge to the New York Police Department’s contentious tactic known as stop, question and frisk. “So, who are the right people?” asks officer Pedro Serrano, during an argument with his supervisor about how to make a legal stop. “Depends where you are,” replies Deputy Inspector Christopher McCormack. The recording was played during Serrano’s testimony last week at a federal trial that’s providing a window into the workings of the nation’s largest police force, the instincts officers rely on to do their jobs and the difficulty police supervisors have in translating written policies into practice on the street. Serrano works patrol in the 40th Precinct in the Bronx, among the more crime-ridden in the city. Robberies there rose from 397 in 2011 to 478 in 2012, and grand larcenies rose from 412 to 469. Serrano said his supervisors believed he tallied too few arrests, summonses and stop, question and frisk reports, known as “250s.” When he appealed his annual evaluation earlier this year, Serrano decided to use his phone to record his boss. “So you’re saying what? Summons everybody for whatever reason?” the patrol-

man asks. “No, see, listen to me. Understand this. All right? I don’t summons people for any reason, all right,” McCormack responds. “We go out there and we summons people and we ‘250’ people, the right people, at the right time, the right location.” Lawyers for four men who have sued police say McCormack’s phrase should be interpreted as a thinly-veiled mandate to stop blacks and Hispanics to inflate numbers so the department looks proactive. Police officials and city lawyers said the inspector is trying to explain that to help stifle a specific crime, for example, the right people may be black or Hispanic males – those who are most often stopped by police. “Again, take Mott Haven, where he had the most problems ... robberies and grand larcenies. The problem was, what? Male blacks,” McCormack said. “And as I told you at roll call, and I have no problem telling you this, male blacks 14 to 20, 21.” Serrano raises his voice: “So what am I supposed to do? Male blacks 14 to 20 wearing dark clothing? What do you want me to do specifically?” The appeal of Serrano’s evaluation is then declared over, with his superiors suggesting he needs more training. The ongoing trial is creating an uncomfortable spotlight for a department more accustomed to bragging about its crime-fighting prowess and a drop in crime to levels not seen since the 1960s.

Administrators armed in Colo. school district By THOMAS PEIPERT The Associated Press DENVER – As lawmakers across the country debate arming teachers and administrators to prevent another deadly school shooting, one Colorado school district has voted to let its superintendent and a high school principaal carry concealed semi-automatic pistols on campus – a move some say sidesteps laws meant to keep schools gun-free. The seven-member school board in southwestern Colorado’s rural Dolores County voted unanimously in February to allow Ty Gray, principal of Dove Creek High School, and Superintendent Bruce Hankins to double as security officers, who under state law are allowed to carry guns on elementary, middle and high school campuses. Hankins and Gray – both lifelong hunters – will receive an additional $1 per year for the extra responsibility after completing a concealed-carry course and receiving permits from the county sheriff before they can carry a gun on school grounds. “We won’t live our lives in fear, but we realize the world we live in today and need to do everything in our power to keep kids safe,” Hankins told The Cortez Journal after the vote. “If somebody comes into the building making threats or shooting, I’m not going to hide behind my desk. I’d prefer to have more than a chair [as a weapon].” The superintendent of

District RE-2J, which serves about 275 students, declined an Associated Press request to be interviewed by phone or in person, though he did respond to emailed questions. “In most school shootings, they are over in just a few minutes,” Hankins wrote. “We will have immediate response capability.” In New Jersey, Passaic Valley High School’s board of education voted unanimously last month to allow the school’s principal, a retired police sergeant, to carry a concealed weapon during the school day. Before becoming principal, Ray Rotella spent four years as the school’s safety officer and carried a gun. Rotella said the board proposed the idea for him to carry a concealed weapon. He said he is licensed to carry one in the state of New Jersey and would have no problem doing so in school. “It’s a unique situation. I’m not advocating administrators carry weapons,” Rotella said last month. “You don’t just give a gun to someone even with a little training. You’re talking about someone who was in law enforcement. I was a firearms instructor.” In Colorado’s rural Dolores County, the Feb. 6 school board resolution argued that because of an average police response time of 40 minutes – and a limited budget – “it is necessary to rely upon existing staff to fulfill the function of the needed security personnel.”

8NATION BRIEFS Court: Drug dog sniff is unconstitutional search

N.D. gears up for legal dispute on abortion laws

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that police cannot bring drug-sniffing police dogs onto a suspect’s property to look for evidence without first getting a warrant for a search, a decision which may limit how investigators use dogs’ sensitive noses to search out drugs, explosives and other items hidden from human sight, sound and smell. The high court split 5-4 on the decision to uphold the Florida Supreme Court’s ruling throwing out evidence seized in the search of Joelis Jardines’ Miami-area house. That search was based on an alert by Franky the drug dog from outside the closed front door.

BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota’s governor positioned the oil-rich state Tuesday as a primary battleground in the decades-old fight over abortion rights, signing into law the nation’s toughest restriction on the procedure and urging lawmakers to set aside cash for an inevitable legal challenge. Minutes after Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed three anti-abortion measures – one banning them as early as six weeks into a pregnancy – unsolicited donations began pouring into the state’s lone abortion clinic to help opponents prove the new laws are unconstitutional.

British teenage whiz strikes deal with Yahoo By RAPHAEL SATTER The Associated Press LONDON – At 17, he’s a tech whiz, he’s rich – and he can even offer some advice on how to raise your kids. Teenage programmer Nick D’Aloisio’s decision to sell his news application Summly to Yahoo for what’s rumored to be a massive payout has turned him into a media sensation. The sale caps a short but successful career at Apple Inc.’s vast app store, where hundreds of thousands of pieces of software compete for the attention of smartphone and tablet users. In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, D’Aloisio said his computer skills were self-taught, explaining that he started by mastering movie-making software before tackling programming languages. He said his parents were “very enthusiastic and supportive.” Asked what advice he’d give couples hoping to

Nick d’Aloisio, 17, displays his mobile application Summly, as he poses for photographs Tuesday after being interviewed by the Associated Press in London. One of Britain’s youngest Internet entrepreneurs, d’Aloisio hit the jackpot after selling his top selling mobile application to search giant Yahoo. raise their own wunderkinds, he urged them to let their children explore their own paths – be it computer science or drama. “If there’s a natural curiosity, that’ll lead to, eventually, some success.” Summly is one of several apps that D’Aloisio has de-

signed. It uses complex algorithms to automatically condense online news content into attractive little blocks of text that are useful for the small screens of smartphones. D’Aloisio said he was thrilled to be working for a “classic Internet company” –

Yahoo! Inc. is older than he is – and he laughingly dismissed a reporter’s suggestion that his friends might be jealous. “All my friends have been very supportive,” he said. He noted that the publicity over Summly had been building for more than a year, meaning he and those close to him had had time to adjust to the outside attention. As with its other recent acquisitions, Yahoo didn’t disclose how much it is paying for Summly, although British newspapers suggested the deal’s value at several million dollars. D’Aloisio had already received investment from several sources, including venture capitalist backer Li Ka-Shing. Asked what he’ll do with the payout, he responded with answers unbefitting of an adolescent. He said the money was being kept in a trust until he turns 18, and he didn’t seem interested in talking about what he’d buy for himself for his next birthday.

Cyprus’ banks to be closed until Thursday By ELENA BECATOROS The Associated Press

AP file photo

Amanda Knox gestures Oct. 4, 2011, at a news conference in Seattle after returning home from Italy. Italy’s highest criminal court has overturned Knox’s acquittal in the slaying of her British roommate and ordered a new trial. The Court of Cassation ruled Tuesday that an appeals court in Florence must re-hear the case against the American and her Italian-ex-boyfriend for the murder of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher.

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 Tuesday bank opening by all but the country’s two largest lenders was sure to hammer businesses already reeling from more

Perugia, a university town 100 miles north of Rome. Raffaele Sollecito, Knox’s Italian boyfriend at the time, was also convicted of the Nov. 1, 2007, murder, then later acquitted. His acquittal was also thrown out Tuesday and a new trial ordered. Italian law cannot compel Knox to return for the new trial and Dalla Vedova said she had no plans to do so. In any case, the judicial saga is likely to continue for years. It will be months before a date is set for the new trial, to be held in Florence instead of Perugia because the small town has only one appellate court, which already acquitted her. Prosecution and defense teams must also await details of the ruling explaining why the high court concluded there were procedural errors in the trial that acquitted Knox and Sollecito. The court has 90 days to issue its explanation. Another Knox defender, Luciano Ghirga, said she was gearing up psychologically for her third trial. Ghirga said he told Knox: “You have always been our strength. We rose up again after the first-level convictions. We’ll have the same resoluteness, the same energy” in the new trial.

By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press ROME – It’s not over yet for Amanda Knox. Italy’s top criminal court dealt a stunning setback Tuesday to the 25-year-old college student, overturning her acquittal in the grisly murder of her British roommate and ordering her to stand trial again. “She thought that the nightmare was over,” Knox’s attorney, Carlo Dalla Vedova, told reporters minutes after conveying the unexpected turn of events to his client, who had stayed up to hear the ruling, which came shortly after 2 a.m. West Coast time. “But she’s ready to fight.” Now a student at the University of Washington in Seattle, Knox called the decision by the Rome-based Court of Cassation “painful” but said she was confident that she would be exonerated. The American left Italy a free woman after her October 2011 acquittal – but only after serving nearly four years of a 26-year prison sentence from a lower court that convicted her of murdering Meredith Kercher. The 21-year-old exchange student’s body was found in a pool of blood, her throat slit, in a bedroom of the house the two shared in

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.

Lamb is expected to take stand again today • TRIAL Continued from page A1

Knox saga not over for courts

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

Casciaro had fronted marijuana for both him and Carrick, Lamb said. The expectation was that Casciaro would get his money after the drugs were sold, but Carrick hadn’t paid up, Lamb said. During the confrontation, Lamb testified, he “muffed” Carrick, meaning that he used the palm of his hand to push Carrick by the face into the produce cooler. “I lost my temper and hit him and he fell down,” Lamb said. “I swung twice. I know I

connected the first time.” But Casciaro never told him to hit Carrick or do anything other than talk to him, Lamb said. Lamb is a convicted felon who said he has been to prison five times and was charged with attempted murder at age 14. His latest prison stint was a six-year sentence, although he was out in three, on cocaine charges that were negotiated along with his immunity deal. He currently has a pending misdemeanor case in connection with a bar fight in November while he was out on parole.

On cross-examination, defense attorney Brian Telander attacked Lamb’s immunity deal. “It might be that you killed him and you get zero for that?” Telander said. “Yeah,” Lamb answered. Telander focused on what he said were inconsistencies with Lamb’s previous testimony from the first trial, as well as before grand juries and interviews with prosecutors. For example, Telander said Lamb previously said that he and Carrick just walked into the cooler, and on another occasion said he hit Carrick to

get him inside. Telander also drew attention to an incident over last summer where Lamb and Casciaro ran into each other while at Blarney Island on the Chain O’ Lakes. Casciaro’s family has said that Lamb approached Casciaro and told him that he “said what they wanted him to say.” But on the stand, Lamb said that never happened – he told Casciaro and the group of people he was with only that they could talk to his lawyer. Lamb is expected to take the stand again today for continued cross-examination.

Oliver’s next court date is scheduled for April 12 • CRAIGSLIST Continued from page A1 Oliver initially was arrested in January and posted bond, but was charged in February with harassing the boyfriend of one of the alleged victims. Additional victims also were identified, police said. After appearing at a scheduled court date Friday, Oliver again was taken into custody as part of being served with warrants for additional

charges. Taking into account money he already has posted, he must post an additional $255,000 to be released. At Oliver’s home, police found multiple stacks of videos with thousands of images of unknown women engaged in sex acts, many of which do not appear consensual, Eisenstein said. She mentioned one victim who appeared on tape whimpering, scared and crying. He also allegedly told one woman

that he didn’t have to listen to her because he paid her. Eisenstein said Oliver, who sometimes used the name “Steve,” often would take the women to his basement to tell them “the rules.” At least one woman said he tied her to a chair with zip ties. Oliver would make copies of the women’s identification, or say that he had, to tell them he knew where they lived. He also blackmailed one woman by texting her images of the assault, Eisenstein said, and

often told them that he had connections to police or was a firefighter. Oliver said he was never popular with girls and that “now it’s a control thing,” Eisenstein said. He also allegedly said that he solicits prostitutes one to two times a week and that it’s “a problem” for him. Eisenstein said Oliver faces between 95 and 120 years in prison if convicted. His next court date is April 12.

Court grounds packed on 1st day By the numbers

By JESSICA GRESKO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – They mostly kept their distance, these supporters and opponents of gay marriage, as they massed Tuesday in front of the Supreme Court to proclaim with signs and slogans their conflicting views about the cutting-edge question before the justices. People who favor legalizing same-sex marriage carried pictures of gay weddings and families and held signs that read “marriage is a constitutional right.” They waved American and rainbow flags, and one man in devil horns danced in pink heels and a rainbow tutu. Opponents marched down a roadway in front of the court, hoisting placards including “Every child deserves a mom & dad” and “Vote for holy matrimony.” By the time the court began its session, which on Tuesday dealt with California’s ban on same-sex marriage, the sidewalk outside was packed. Supporters spilled over to the other side of the roadway. “Gay, straight, black, white, marriage is a civil right,” the crowd chanted at one point,

Gahan Kelley and Bonnie Nemeth, both 69, of Richmond, Va., had matching signs with their California marriage license on one side and a picture of their wedding ceremony on the other. The couple married in California during the 142 days when it was legal. “This decision can change

our lives tremendously,” said Kelley of the Supreme Court cases. Another couple, Stacey Parker, 37, and Debbie Sentner, 43, drove from Toledo, Ohio, to Washington to demonstrate. The pair married in Massachusetts in 2009, but their home state doesn’t recognize their marriage. On Tuesday they carried signs that said “we the people means everyone.” “To us we feel married but we don’t really feel complete until we can actually get all the rights and recognition that a lot of people take for granted,” Parker said.

• About 9 million: The number of Americans who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, according to a 2011 study by a scholar at the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute. • 9 plus the District of Columbia: The number of states that issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. • 30: The number of states, including California, that ban same-sex marriage in their state constitutions. Ten states bar them under state laws. New Mexico law is silent on the issue. • 49: The percentage of Americans who favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted in mid-March. Forty-four percent are opposed. • 142: The number of days in 2008 that gay marriage was legal in California before voters banned it with Proposition 8. • About 18,000: The number of gay couples that married in California during the window when it was legal.

Justice presses lawyer to think of children with same-sex parents • RULING Continued from page A1 Indeed, it was clear from the start of the 80-minute argument in a packed courtroom, that the justices, including some liberals who seemed open to gay marriage, had doubts about whether they should even be hearing the challenge to California’s Proposition 8, the state’s voter-approved gay marriage ban. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potentially decisive vote on a divided court, suggested the justices could dismiss the case with no ruling at all.

Such an outcome would almost certainly allow gay marriages to resume in California but would have no impact elsewhere. There was no majority apparent for any particular outcome, and many doubts were expressed by justices about the arguments advanced by lawyers for the opponents of gay marriage in California, by the supporters and by the Obama administration, which is in favor of same-sex marriage rights. The administration’s entry into the case followed President Barack Obama’s declaration of support for gay marriage.

On the one hand, Kennedy acknowledged the recentness of same-sex unions, a point stressed repeatedly by Charles Cooper, the lawyer for the defenders of Proposition 8. Cooper said the court should uphold the ban as a valid expression of the people’s will and let the vigorous political debate over gay marriage continue. But Kennedy pressed him also to address the interests of the estimated 40,000 children in California who have samesex parents. “They want their parents to have full recognition and full status.

dren is important in this case, don’t you think?” Kennedy said. Yet when Theodore Olson, the lawyer for two same-sex couples, urged the court to support such marriage rights everywhere, Kennedy feared such a ruling would push the court into “uncharted waters.” Olson said that the court similarly ventured into the unknown in 1967 when it struck down bans on interracial marriage in 16 states. Kennedy challenged the accuracy of that comment, noting that other countries had had interracial marriages for hundreds of years.

Excerpts of the case The ASSOCIATED PRESS Excerpts from the arguments before the Supreme Court on Tuesday about California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage, from a transcript released by the Supreme Court:

On whether the case should be before them (Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy): ROBERTS: But a state can’t authorize anyone to proceed in federal court, because that would leave the definition under Article III of the federal Constitution as to who can bring – who has standing to bring claims up to each state. And I don’t think we’ve ever allowed anything like that. KENNEDY: The problem – the problem with the case is that you’re really asking, particularly because of the sociological evidence you cite, for us to go into uncharted waters, and you can play with that metaphor, there’s a wonderful destination, it is a cliff. ... But you’re – you’re doing so in a – in a case where the opinion is very narrow.

On the question of children of same-sex parents (Kennedy and Charles Cooper, lawyer for the defenders of Proposition 8): KENNEDY: We have five years of information to weigh against 2,000 years of history or more. On the other hand, there is an immediate legal injury or legal – what could be a legal injury, and that’s the voice of these children. There are some 40,000 children in California, according to the red brief, that live with same-sex parents, and they want their parents to have full recognition and full status. COOPER (in response): I certainly would not dispute the importance of that consideration. That consideration especially in the political process, where this issue is being debated and will continue to be debated, certainly, in California. It’s being debated elsewhere. But on that – on that specific question, Your Hon-

or, there simply is no data.

On the issue of same-sex marriage (Justice Samuel Alito): ALITO: The one thing that the parties in this case seem to agree on is that marriage is very important. It’s thought to be a fundamental building block of society and its preservation essential for the preservation of society. Traditional marriage has been around for thousands of years. Same-sex marriage is very new.

On the question of redefining marriage (Justice Antonin Scalia): SCALIA: Mr. Cooper, let me – let me give you one – one concrete thing. I don’t know why you don’t mention some concrete things. If you redefine marriage to include same-sex couples, you must – you must permit adoption by same-sex couples, and there’s – there’s considerable disagreement among – among sociologists as to what the consequences of raising a child in a – in a single-sex family, whether that is harmful to the child or not. Some states do not – do not permit adoption by samesex couples for that reason.

On the rights of same-sex couples (Theodore Olson, lawyer for two same-sex couples, and Roberts): OLSON: This is a measure that walls off the institution of marriage, which is not society’s right. It’s an individual right that this Court again and again and again has said the right to get married, the right to have the relationship of marriage is a personal right.

ROBERTS (in response): When the institution of marriage developed historically, people didn’t get around and say let’s have this institution, but let’s keep out homosexuals. The institution developed to serve purposes that, by their nature, didn’t include homosexual couples. It is – yes, you can say that it serves some of the other interests where it makes sense to include them, but not all the interests.

Shouldn’t be a deputy We continue to be baffled by a system that allows someone with a record such as Zane Seipler to continue to be a law enforcement officer anywhere, let alone with the department in which he has caused so much strife. Yet Seipler continues to wear a badge, carry a gun, and be paid by McHenry County taxpayers as a sworn deputy of the For the record county Sheriff’s Office. We question how someone In the latest with an employee record such outrage, a federal as Zane Seipler’s can continue judge ruled earto serve as a sworn deputy of lier this month the McHenry County Sheriff’s that Seipler and Office. his wife lied under oath when they took the stand as part of Seipler’s ongoing lawsuit against his boss, Sheriff Keith Nygren. In the lawsuit, Seipler alleges that his civil rights were violated when he was fired out of retaliation for blowing the whistle on alleged racial profiling. Nygren has said Seipler was fired because he wrote traffic tickets or warnings to passengers rather than drivers who did not have valid licenses, an offense that Seipler admits. As part of his lawsuit, Seipler received confidential sheriff’s department files, including employee disciplinary records. Those records then were published on a blog called “The Real MCSO Exposed.” As we’ve reported, Seipler first said that he did not know who owned the website, didn’t give anyone the documents, and didn’t know how the blogger got them. But he later said that his wife, Rosalinda, created the blog and posted the documents without his knowledge. On the stand, Rosalinda Seipler supported her husband’s latest claim, testifying that she found some documents in an office area and decided to post them online. But when asked to demonstrate how she created the blog, she couldn’t. U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Kapala concluded that the Seiplers lied under oath. “There is no justification for such a blatant disregard of the oath that they each took, and their willingness to repeatedly lie to the court in order to protect this case from the possibility of being dismissed is an affront to the integrity of this court,” Kapala said. Kapala said Seipler will have to pay a severe penalty, and asked Nygren’s attorneys to submit their legal fees. There was no mention of whether Seipler and his wife would be investigated and prosecuted for perjury, a crime. So let’s summarize: • Seipler, according to a judge, lied under oath in an attempt to keep his lawsuit against the sheriff from being dismissed. • Earlier in the case, he said he wouldn’t be surprised if his boss, Nygren, had something to do with the killing of a former deputy’s brother. That’s in addition to many other disparaging things he said about his boss. • He was fired for ticketing passengers instead of the drivers who committed the offenses, but the legal system decided he should be reinstated. We’ve asked this question before and, after this latest incident, we’ll ask it again: What kind of work environment is created when employees are allowed to challenge the boss, impugn his character on a public stage, and embarrass the organization without penalty? It’s a flawed system that allows someone such as this to continue to wear a badge.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Angels on a bus

To the Editor: A storm alert was issued on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Driving conditions were good that morning to Lake Geneva, Wis. However, conditions changed rapidly and, at 1:30 p.m., my husband and I were driving in grueling, treacherous white-out conditions on Route 120 and Route 47. With a vice-like grip on the steering wheel and a mantra of prayers, we got home safely. As I was driving, I noticed that school buses were leaving Woodstock and McHenry. I said aloud, “Please, dear Lord, keep these children safe.” Arriving safely home, I became stuck on our driveway, unable to drive the car any farther. Opening the car door, I fell out into the snow. I could not get up. Lying there for about 10 minutes, I heard a vehicle approaching. It was the school bus from McHenry Parkland Middle School. I screamed, “Help!” The bus stopped. The driver and another student got off the bus and helped me up. Six other students managed to get me and then my handicapped husband to the house. I will call these students our angels. I prayed for their safe return to their homes, and they were the angels who returned us home safely. Our deepest gratitude to our angels. God bless you, our angels: Austin Arns, Emily Miller, Katie Miller, Jack Pliner, Matt Moses, Alex Morales and Carver Breicen-

Each other’s choices To the Editor: Those who were born with or developed a tendency to be attracted to people of the same gender should not at all be scorned upon or ridiculed in any manner. We are all created in the likeness and image of our maker, are born with a free will, and, above all, should be treated equally. God has told us repeatedly to love each other as He loves us. If couples of the same sex choose to show their affection for each other, once again, it is their decision. These couples have the right to live together in a civil union, and should be given the same benefits and opportunities as those of opposite sex receive. As far as marriage is concerned, it was instituted by our Creator so that couples of the opposite sex, when joined together as one, will assist in procreating a human life, which will have instilled in them the likeness of each of their parents. For years on end, this has been the way families were originated. Hopefully, my comments did not offend anyone, but just explained how, through tolerance and understanding, we can live with each other’s choices in life. Anthony “Bud” March Huntley

Day was a “St. Paddy’s Day Grand Illusion,” no different than the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Grand juries are defined by statutes, not illusions created by attorneys. The St. Paddy’s Day illusion appears to present a pot of gold by the village of Johnsburg, that all is well in the “Land of Grand Juries?” Malarkey! Attorneys do not begin or conclude grand juries. Here is the gold nugget to consider: Why did the village of Johnsburg appoint another attorney with criminal experience in white-collar crime and RICO? With this type of malarkey printed in the Northwest Herald, I will not be surprised if they also endorse the incumbent president of Johnsburg, who pulled a no-show for the endorsement meeting.

MCDOT oversees many of county’s road construction projects The need for road construction projects has been around for a long time. Archeological finds have shown that as far back as the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks, public road improvement projects were done for commerce and military movement. As time has gone by, the desire to move faster and more efficiently has pushed the need for more durable roads to carry heavier loads. When America was being settled, the roads served well for small local trips, with longer trips handled over water and then rail with the invention of the steam locomotive. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that these trips needed to become more efficient. The only problem was, local roads were nothing more than dirt path wagon trails. From 1913, when the McHenry County Division of Transportation was established, well into the 1950s, MCDOT built the county highway system from scratch with the county’s own labor forces. To do this, a lot of gravel was needed. Fortunately, McHenry County has

plenty of gravel, thanks in part to the glaciers that once covered this area some 20,000 years ago. To build the new county highways, 12 gravel pits were strategically located throughout the county. Of those, four went on to become commercial gravel processing facilities and are still in existence today. During the 1950s, it was determined that the county could be more efficient and cost effective if it contracted out the construction of the highways. MCDOT engineers supervised the contractors to make sure the projects were properly built. This method still is in place today and is very effective. Although it sounds simple, there is so much that goes into a project during construction. On any given project, the county’s engineers have to monitor the contractor and inspect the work performed as the project moves along. The engineers have to keep up on all of the required paperwork, documenting what has been done every day so that the Illinois Department of Transportation can sign off on the

VIEWS Mark Dammyer finished work. In addition, engineers have to coordinate with the utility companies. Phone lines, cable TV, gas pipes, electricity wires, water pipes and sewers often are relocated for a roadway project to be built. With several companies involved, coordination is essential to make sure service disruption is minimized. Depending on the project, the county also may have to obtain permits from other agencies, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District, to name a few. Let’s not forget Mother Nature. In the upper Midwest, we are blessed with varied weather patterns. Periods of continued rain can hamper most tasks on a job. Cold weather can limit when asphalt can

be placed. As the saying goes in Illinois, there are two seasons, winter and construction. Because of the seasons, it makes for a very tight window to get projects done. Some projects are completed within one construction season, as is the case with many of the bridge projects on both county and township roads (yes, MCDOT handles the township bridge projects as well). Some go on for multiple years, such as the recently completed Rakow Road project or current Charles J. Miller Road and the new Western Algonquin Bypass projects. Overall, the goal for every project is to be ahead of schedule and under budget – a simple statement, but when you consider all the outside forces such as contractors, weather, and multiple agency coordination, it can be a challenging task but one that the engineers are up to. As we are about to embark on another construction season, there are things you can do to minimize your frustration and stay safe. Plan ahead and give yourself extra time. There are many ways you can find

out about construction projects coming your way. At MCDOT, you can visit our website (McHenryCountyDOT.org) and take a look at our interactive construction map. Some of the more major MCDOT projects have dedicated websites (www.JohnsburgRoad.com and www.CharlesMillerRoad.com) where you can sign up for email updates or you can use Twitter and Facebook to connect with us. Agencies such as IDOT and local municipalities often will have information on their websites, too. Check those in your area to stay informed. Remember that cellphone use is restricted in construction and school zones. It’s not just for your safety, but also for those workers in the construction zone. In the end, the goal of the project is to make travel better for you and others. Plan ahead and set the phone down. To all of our readers in this Centennial Year and in the future, happy and safe travels.

Term limits eyed for leaders Changes would restrict county chairman, vice chairman to 6 years in post “It’s not a reflection of Miss Hill whatsoever – [committee members are] reviewing the board rules with a fresh set of eyes, and they’re rethinking the processes we have in place.”

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board chairman and vice chairman would be limited to three consecutive two-year terms under proposed rule changes. The proposal, which the State’s Attorney’s Office has said exceeds the board’s powers under state law, is one of several to curtail the chairman’s powers that is before the board’s Management Services Committee.

Paula Yensen, Management Services Committee chairwoman Another would strip the chairman of the power to appoint committee chairmanships, and another would eliminate the chairman’s prerogative to pull items off the agenda without a full board vote. The proposals are about

examining change and are not a statement on new Chairwoman Tina Hill, said committee Chairwoman Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills. The committee is tasked with reviewing County Board rules after each general election.

Tap water is a better choice than bottled water for many reasons. Bottled water is not safer than tap water. In fact, the federal government requires more rigorous and frequent safety testing and monitoring of municipal drinking water. Bottled water is thousands of times more expensive than tap water. Compare $0.002 per gallon for most tap water to a range of 89 cents to $8.26 per gallon for bottled waters. Bottled water hurts the environment. After millions of barrels of oil are used to produce and ship plastic water bottles, 75 percent of them land in the garbage or waterways instead of the recycle bin.

Seth Kuhn, 7, of Wonder Lake poses for a portrait outside National Pastime Sports Cards Memorabilia and More in McHenry while holding his prize. Seth was one of 10 national winners to find a Topps Golden Draft Ticket in a pack of football cards.

Golden ticket nets extra names Wonder Lake boy gets football signed by 10 top NFL draft picks By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – When Seth Kuhn found a Topps Golden Draft Ticket, he was guaranteed a football autographed by one of the top two picks in last year’s NFL draft – Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III. To the 7-year-old’s surprise, when he recently opened the package containing the prize, he not only found Luck’s and Griffin’s autographs on the limited-edition football but also eight other first-round draft picks. “It made it so much more,” Seth said. “I hoped to get the RGIII signed football, but this is even better.” The Wonder Lake boy was one of 10 people nationwide to find a Topps Golden Draft Ticket in a pack of football cards last year. Each ticket entitled the collector to an autographed football from either the Indianapolis Colts’ or Washington Redskins’ starting quarterback.

Although Seth didn’t win the grand prize – appearing on a 2013 Topps football trading card – the boy’s family was ecstatic about the autographed pigskin, which included other first-rounders Trent Richardson, Justin Blackmon, Ryan Tannehill, Michael Floyd and Doug Martin. “This was just overwhelming because we had no idea we’d get this many signatures,” said Evan Kuhn, the boy’s grandfather. “It wasn’t what we expected at all. This stunned us for sure.” Seth Kuhn found the ticket inside a box of 2012 Topps football cards that his grandfather bought in August for about $125 from National Pastime Sports Cards Memorabilia and More in McHenry. Other golden tickets were being sold for more than $1,500 on eBay. Seth Kuhn is a student at Harrison Elementary School in Wonder Lake.

HARVARD – City officials will address longstanding parking issues surrounding Harvard High School events at an ordinance committee meeting next month. But a long-term solution might ultimately need to include additional lot space near the school, City Administrator Dave Nelson said. Attendees of sporting events and fundraisers at the high school, 1103 N. Jefferson St., Harvard, have had issues finding parking “for as long as I can remember,” Police Chief Daniel Kazy-Garey said. The limited space often causes cars to spill over into illegal parking. Dennis Reilly raised the issue to the council after volunteering at a recent fundraiser at the high school. A request from police through the public address system called for individuals parked on Garfield Road to move their vehicles, saying they otherwise would be towed, Reilly said. One side of Garfield Road has no parking while the other side is subject to the city’s “tree bank” ordinance, which makes it a violation to park in the grassy space between the road and the sidewalk. “Half the people there are visitors. They don’t even know if they’re on Garfield,” Reilly told the council Tuesday night. “There aren’t signs there stating you can’t

Algonquin poised to vote on video gambling ordinance By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Village Board members are poised to vote on an ordinance next week that, if approved, would allow video gambling in town. In a straw poll of board members, five Algonquin trustees – Jerry Glogowski, Jim Steigert, Robert Smith, John Spella and Debby Sosine – said they are in favor of allowing video gambling. Village President John Schmitt and Trustee Brian Dianis said they are against it. Some of the village’s taverns and restaurants asked the village to allow video gaming for fear they would lose customers to neighbor-

“I think the businesses are better served by a clientele throughout the community, throughout the region that says ‘I want to go to Algonquin because it’s a classy place to be.’ .... I personally think we’re making a mistake.” John Schmitt, Algonquin village president, on video gambling machines ing communities where it is allowed, such as Lake in the Hills, Huntley and Fox River Grove. Crystal Lake, Cary and Lakewood have rejected video gaming. Village Board members had waited to make a decision on whether to allow video gambling to see how the topic was handled in other municipalities. Randy Errington, who owns a building downtown with a tenant who wants to

have video gaming, said he is afraid he might lose that tenant without the gaming machines. “I want to keep the tenant there I’ve had for 10 years for at least five more years,” Errington said. Trustee Smith said allowing video gambling will give small business an opportunity to compete. “A boarded-up business says a lot more about a community than whether or not

we have a few gambling machines tucked away,” Smith said. Dianis said bars and restaurants aren’t the only businesses in town struggling. “Why shouldn’t a nail salon have video gaming as well?” Dianis said. “I’m concerned this is just a foot-inthe-door kind of thing.” Even though Spella supports allowing video gambling, he said businesses shouldn’t look to it as a way

to stay open but rather as a way to supplement their income. “For those businesses that think they will bank on this to stay open, they really need to re-evaluate their business plan,” Spella said. Schmitt said he doesn’t want the image of video gambling in the village. “The quality shopping, the quality of residents and the quality of our community cannot be served positively with immediately, 10 businesses in town with four or five machines each,” Schmitt said. “I think the businesses are better served by a clientele throughout the community, throughout the region that says ‘I want to go to

Jersey Mike’s in CL will donate all sales today By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com Today, the Jersey Mike’s in Crystal Lake won’t make a dime. And that’s just fine, owner Mark Michalak said. March is the “Month of Giving” for Jersey Mike’s restaurants throughout the country, and today the franchise will donate 100 percent of its sales to local charities. The Crystal Lake location, at 5006 Northwest Highway, will donate all of its sales to the Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. “Every year we’ve done it, it’s been crazy,” said Michalak, who expects to see anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent more customers today. “There will be lines out the door.” Michalak said there’s a “culture of giving back” at Jersey Mike’s restaurants, and he rejects the notion that large franchise restaurants

Breaking news: With Easter just around the corner, the WMES news team has recently spotted the Easter Bunny stealing eggs from Kevin’s Chicken Farm. Apparently, he claims he didn’t know the chickens belonged to Kevin. As we look back at the video footage from the secret camera, it looks like it may have been on purpose because he laughed as he ran away. Is the Easter Bunny a thief? We’ll be back with the story from the news team after this commercial break. Hannah, 5th grade

For the first time in years, we have an Easter Bunny sighting. He was spotted by Taylor M. She said he had pink fur with a yellow tail, blue eyes and a red nose. She also said he was wearing an Easter egg printed shirt. She spotted him on her front lawn leaving eggs under a tree. She also said that she spotted him at midnight when she got up to get her snack on the night before Easter. During her interview, Taylor said she was very astonished to see him. Caeleigh, 4th grade

Everyone would like to see the Easter Bunny, but you have to be lucky. I saw the Easter Bunny at 7:30 this morning. I was going to check for eggs in our chicken coop when I saw a white blur hopping from tree to tree. I kept watching and then I clearly saw him. I realized it was a rabbit with a basket of eggs. It disappeared into a hole in the ground. I almost ran to tell my mom, but decided to keep it a secret. If you read this, don’t tell anyone. Taylor, 3rd grade

My family and I went into my house. The Easter Bunny was eating our food. It was only1:00 at night and the Easter Bunny was really hungry. Devin, 2nd grade

On Easter morning I was walking down my street. I turned a corner and out from behind a tree popped the Easter Bunny. He said he was dropping eggs for little children. I was so amazed I couldn’t speak. So then he handed me the basket of eggs and disappeared in a puff of smoke. I guess I had bumped into him by surprise but I still had a basket of chocolate eggs. David, 4th grade

I saw the Easter Bunny at the mall. He was pulling a wagon full of Easter eggs and candy. There was also an Easter Egg Hunt and I saw him laying out eggs there. He had tall ears and a dark pink nose.He was hopping all around the mall. Aseel, 1st grade

When I went to bed, I looked out of my window and I saw the Easter Bunny. Then I saw him hiding eggs. Carson, 1st grade

Strummerfest to benefit guitar-playing youth

Continued from page B1 Koehler’s last term as chairman with calls to make the seat popularly elected, and an unsuccessful November referendum spearheaded by state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, to change to a county-executive form of government. The State’s Attorney’s Office says state law does not empower county boards to impose term limits, even for an internal chairmanship. The office, which is the County Board’s legal counsel, takes the position that it is ill-advised to create rules or ordinances that may not be legally defensible. Supporters have said a chairman wouldn’t dare try to challenge it in court and

Continued from page B1 Algonquin because it’s a classy place to be.’ .... I personally think we’re making a mistake.” Under the proposed ordinance, video gaming terminals have to be licensed on an annual basis per machine. The village is proposing a $500 annual license fee per termi-

to be a camera surveillance system in the gaming area, and a physical partition to ensure no one under 21 is in the gaming area. Establishments also would have to have a responsible gaming policy where employees are trained, among other things. Penalties for establishments violating video gambling rules would be handled by the liquor commission.

The minimum fine would be $1,000. The village also plans to tie video gaming to the establishment’s liquor license, which could be suspended or revoked if there is a violation. “Establishments need to understand, they don’t need to go by just the outline of the law, they need to make sure they’re covering their butts all the way,” Schmitt said. Local governments have

had the choice to ban or allow video gaming since 2009, when the Illinois Legislature legalized it to help pay for a $31 billion infrastructure plan. Video gambling finally went live in October. Schmitt said any revenue the village receives should go toward recreation funds. “If these guys are going to get some money out of this, I think … kids should, too,” Schmitt said.

park, and you can’t rely on people from out of town to know our ordinances.” Reilly, a candidate for the District 50 school board, said he hoped a solution could be found before graduation. Nelson said he would begin coming up with a longterm fix for the problem, which he said could include adding more pavement. He didn’t know whether the project would fall to the city or the district to fund. “That’ll be up to the two bodies,” he said.

direct election of the County Board chairman came up is because re-election is skewed in favor of the incumbent,” said Walkup, R-Crystal Lake. “In my way of thinking, that eliminates one of the main issues that gave rise to [calls for] direct election and a county executive.” Yensen said a referendum to ask voters whether they want to popularly elect the chairman is still open for discussion after the rule review is finished and changes adopted. An attempt earlier this year to put a referendum on the April 9 ballot fell short because of time constraints and opponents who alleged the process was being rushed. Hill directed the committee as one of her first official acts as chairwoman to discuss a referendum.

Several changes to McHenry County Board rules proposed by one of its committees would impose term limits on the board chairman and vice chairman, and limit the chairman’s power to appoint committee chairmen after each election. The Management Services Committee is expected to make its final recommendations in April, with a full County Board vote to follow in May after a 30-day review.

Assignments are approved by the full County Board. Under the proposed new rules, each of the six districts would caucus to select a representative to the Committee on Committees, and the chairman no longer would have the prerogative to recommend committee chairmen. Critics on the County Board have alleged that the current system heavily favors the incumbent chairman, who can secure all but one of the votes needed for re-election with the power to choose the chairmen of the board’s 11 standing committees. Committee member Michael Walkup said the rule changes would result in a “more level playing field” that, in turn, could improve voter trust. “The whole reason the

The management committee two years ago tried to sidestep the legal question by proposing adding a nonbinding “recommendation” to board rules asking the chairman not to pursue more than three terms. The full County Board defeated the idea. Another proposed change would take away almost all of the chairman’s say in assigning committee memberships. The chairman after each election appoints one member from each County Board district to form a Committee on Committees. That group, with the chairman as the seventh member, assigns all 24 board

HEAT AT BULLS, 7 P.M. TODAY, CSN, ESPN, AM-1000

Like it or not, James on path to greatness CHICAGO – In pursuit of pictures and memories, a steady trail of basketball-loving fans will arrive at the United Center starting a couple of hours before today’s tipoff. They’ll stare. They’ll smile. They’ll savor the experience. They have come to see a statue. But to see real-time greatness on display, one must go inside. Pull open a glass door, push through a metal turnstile, step across the tiled concourse and look toward the wooden court below. This is no statue. This is a superstar in his prime. This is the most amazing athlete playing any sport in this country today.

Lebron James

VIEWS Tom Musick And he is leading his team toward history. Boo LeBron James if you must. Resent the fact that he is on a direct path to joining Michael Jordan’s level of NBA greatness. Compare championship rings as proof that Jordan can lift off from the freethrow line and soar above James’ head. Yet Jordan is suspended in flight. He is a bronze statue atop a black granite base. Inside, James is sprinting, leaping, defending and sweating. He isn’t finished. To be honest, it looks as if he’s only

getting started. The Miami Heat will arrive at the United Center today with a 27-game win streak, the second-best in NBA history. They are six games shy of matching the NBA all-time record of 33, which was set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe the short-handed Bulls will find a way to snap the streak. Likely, they won’t. Either way, it’s difficult to envision anyone stopping James and his teammates from going on to win a second straight championship. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not arguing that James’ career has surpassed Jordan’s career on the 86th day of 2013. I’m saying it’s a real possibility in the next decade.

BASEBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 9, HARLEM 1

Klendworth powers Wolves PR right fielder goes 4 for 5 with 11 total bases

More inside • McHenry alumnus Zach Badgley closing out an era in his final season on the NIU baseball team.

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – There isn’t a better way to start a baseball game than the way Prairie Ridge did Tuesday night. Wolves pitcher Danny Burris shut down visiting Harlem in order in the top half of the first, and when the Wolves stepped to the plate in the bottom half, leadoff hitter Bryan Klendworth wasted no time in getting things going. The right-fielder lined the first pitch he saw to the right-center gap and was off. The ball rolled to the wall and by the time the Huskies got the ball to the cut-off man, Klendworth was more than halfway home for an insidethe-park home run. “To have a leadoff man that can create like that and get our offense going really helps,” Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro said of Klendworth. The Wolves earned a 9-1 victory over the Huskies at Lippold Park, which has a fully synthetic infield. In his next three at-bats, Klendworth tripled, singled and tripled again, amassing three RBIs, scoring four runs while accounting for 11 total bases during his 4-for-5 night. “It was just a lot of fun today,” Klendworth said. “The

• Brandon McCumber and the Cary-Grove baseball team win their season opener, a 6-2 triumph against Warren in southern Illinois. Stories on Page C3 ball looked like a pumpkin to me, actually. I just relied on the skills that I’ve been practicing over the winter and I was just trying to stay calm and my approach was just see ball, hit ball.” Matt Furst went 3 for 3 with two RBIs behind Klendworth while Austin Covers went 1 for 2, including a scorching double in the first. The Wolves (2-0) picked up 11 total hits while putting pressure on the Huskies pitchers. Harlem starting pitcher Cody Dietz gave up two runs in three innings but threw 67 pitches, which led to his early exit. Joshua Dickerson pitched the next two innings in relief as Wolves scored five runs while seeing 60 pitches. Pecoraro attributes the amount of pitches his batters saw to his philosphy of working opposing pitchers into deep pitch counts, which leads to better at-bats later in the game.

Huntley junior pitcher Mason Martin (left) listens to his coach during baseball practice Tuesday in Huntley. Martin lost his father, Roger Martin, in a fatal boating accident in August. The team decided to give Martin the start in today’s season opener against DeKalb in Huntley. Huntley’s players inscribed “RM” in black marker on the left side of their caps in honor of Martin’s dad.

MOUND OF MEMORIES Mason Martin to start season opener 7 months after father’s fatal accident By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Mason Martin does not want to wipe the picture from his memory, no matter how painful it remains. Martin was right there, bobbing in the water Aug. 5, when his father, Roger, fell overboard from a boat, was struck by a propellor and died. “I’m not someone who grieves and cries and gets all sad,” said Martin, a 16-year-old junior pitcher at Huntley. “I’m someone who likes to talk about it. This right here is like grieving for me. I try to stay positive with it and think about all the positives I can get out of it.” Positives like the supportive

father who was not “the crazy one who yelled when I was on the field,” but instead offered advice for improvement later when they got home. Roger understood. As a former athlete himself, an Indiana University football player, he had seen both the good and bad of sports and then shared it with his son. Martin, a right-hander who may not be in Huntley’s varsity rotation for the season, will be the Raiders’ opening-day starting pitcher at 4:30 p.m. today when they play host to DeKalb, if the field is dry enough. A decision will be made at 11 a.m. on whether the field is playable. “He’s a great kid, a great human being and the kids love him,” Huntley baseball coach Andy Jakubow-

ski said. “They value his integrity. They dedicated the season to his father, and [starting him] is the right thing to do.” Jakubowski and his staff approached the other pitchers last week with their plan. “Everybody jumped on it right away,” junior pitcher-shortstop Eric Luecht said. “We said it was the best idea we’ve heard in a while. We all really feel Mason deserves it.” Roger Martin, 61, and his wife, Drecinda, have lived in Huntley since Mason was born. He had two sons – Jeremy and Josh – from a previous marriage, but he did not live with them and did not get to spend the father-son time teaching them sports. Although his job in food sales often had him traveling during the week, Drecinda said Roger did all he could with Mason regarding sports.

8SPORTS SHORTS Bears re-sign Hayden CHICAGO – Kelvin Hayden will play in his hometown for at least one more season. The Bears re-signed Hayden to a one-year deal Tuesday, which marked the seventh consecutive day in which they have agreed to terms with a free agent. Hayden joined offensive lineman Jonathan Scott, safety Tom Zbikowski and linebackers D.J. Williams and James Anderson as players who have signed one-year contracts in the past week. Hayden, who will turn 30 in July, supplanted D.J. Moore last season as the Bears’ primary nickelback on passing downs alongside Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings. Hayden finished the season with four fumble recoveries, which tied for most in the NFL, to go along with 40 tackles, one interception and three pass break-ups. Before joining the Bears in 2012, Hayden spent six seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and one season with the Atlanta Falcons.

BLACKHAWKS 2, FLAMES 0

Emery, Hawks shut out Flames Hawks snap 2-game skid

Next vs. Anaheim, 7:30 p.m. Friday, CSN, AM-720

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Blackhawks buckled down defensively and helped Ray Emery get his first shutout in more than three years. Emery had to make only 16 saves, defensemen Nick Leddy and Brent Seabrook scored, and the Hawks snapped a two-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. Emery improved to 12-0 in getting his 12th career shutout, and first since Feb. 1, 2010, when he blanked the Flames while with Philadelphia. Emery was tested several times, but the Hawks outshot the Flames 35-16 in sending them to their 10th straight road loss (0-9-1).

“Our defense was really on,” Emery said. “We continued to apply pressure, but really didn’t give much up. It was a great night defensively. “It’s always good to put a zero on the board, but I’m just glad to get a win.” In their two previous games – losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles – the Hawks got sloppy late and blew third-period leads. But after getting a two-goal lead late in the second period Tuesday, the Hawks managed the puck and their defensive coverage effectively, and finished the job. Emery went 58 games between shutouts, a period that was punctuated with him undergoing career-threatening

Americans tie Mexico in World Cup qualifying MEXICO CITY – Brad Guzan swatted away shot after shot and the Americans hung on for a 0-0 draw with Mexico on Tuesday night, earning only their second point in a World Cup qualifier at Azteca Stadium. The tie moves the U.S. into third place in World Cup qualifying for the North and Central American and Caribbean region, one point behind Panama and behind Costa Rica on goal difference. The Americans and Costa Ricans both have four points, but the Ticos are ahead on goal difference.

Browns sign QB Jason Campbell to 2-year deal CLEVELAND – Brandon Weeden will have to fight off a proven veteran to keep his starting job with the Browns. Cleveland signed free-agent quarterback Jason Campbell to a two-year contract Tuesday night, bringing him in to provide competition for Weeden, who had an uneven rookie season in 2012.

ferent situation. I just take it one shot at a time,” he said. Calgary hasn’t won in the United Center in five years, going 0-8-1 since beating the Hawks 4-2 on March 16, 2008. Leddy and Seabrook’s goals

both deflected off Calgary goalie Miikka Kiprusoff, who stopped 33 shots. Patrick Kane assisted on both scores, and has five goals and nine assists in a seven-game point streak. With the win, the Hawks improved to 25-4-3 and remained in first place overall in the NHL with 53 points. The Hawks ended their second two-game losing streak of the season after an NHL-record start of 24 games without a regulation loss. “We had a couple slipups in the last couple games, but if you looked at the games before, 12, 13, 14 (of them) were one-goal games and we won,” Kane said. “One of the things we’ve been trying to do all year is to try to get better as a team. “Even when we were on that long winning streak and it seems everything was golden in here, there were still some problems that we needed to fix.”

PR pitchers allow 5 hits, 1 run in win • WOLVES Continued from page C1 “We talk about them seeing pitches early in the season to train their eyes and really wait for your pitch,” the coach said. “We talk about when you have two strikes to extend your atbats to see more pitches and to give information to your teammates. It also is to help

yourself on your next at-bat. That way we will have better approaches at the plate.” While the bats got the crowd cheering, the Wolves’ pitching effort was solid. Burris went four innings and allowed a hit, one walk while picking up a strikeout for his first win of the season. Steven Ladd pitched the next two innings and Drew Buchta pitched the seventh.

The pitchers collectively allowed five hits and only one run. The earned run was attributed to Ladd. “I just wanted to go out there and get ahead of hitters and throw strikes,” Burris said. “I felt good. There were some issues that I worked through but I did an overall good job of hitting my spots especially for the first time out.”

Martin immersing himself into game • MARTIN Continued from page C1 “They were super-close,” she said. “[Roger] felt this was his second opportunity to pay it back. He did everything they could together. They were best friends until the day he passed.” Jeremy Martin’s son River, 13, had finished his second summer at Culver (Ind.) Military School’s summer camp for the second year in August when the entire Martin family came to Culver to celebrate. Roger’s ex-wife’s daughter Amanda and Mason were tubing behind a boat carrying Roger and several family members. Mason and Amanda fell off their tubes and when the boat turned to get them, Roger, sitting on the side, fell into the water. Jakubowski was shocked when he received a text message from Brian Liebman, the father of former Huntley players, about Roger’s death. The coach learned a lot about Mason Martin then. “I was beside myself,” Jakubowski said. “I called Mason and left him a message. When he called me back, he was calm, cool and collected. He said, ‘I’m OK and I’m going to get through this.’ It goes to show the character of the kid.” Martin figures immersing himself further into baseball is what his father would expect. “I’m more dedicated to

Baseball has played an integral part in Martin’s psychological recovery. “It’s kept my mind off of it,” said Martin, who wants to pitch in college. “If I’m going to sit at home and play video games and watch TV, a lot more is going to run through my mind and I’m going to think about it more. If I’m here with my teammates, and I’m playing the game I love, I’m not going to think about it as much.” Huntley’s players inscribed “RM” in black marker on the left side of their caps in honor of Roger Martin. Luecht says Martin never will lack for support. “He sort of needed someone there to be that backbone for

him,” Luecht said. “... We try to carry him along, keep his chin up and keep him laughing. He’s a good kid. He’ll be fine.” If the field is fit for play, Mason Martin will take the mound this afternoon, try to turn off all the thoughts bouncing around his head and “pitch his game.” He might be a little quieter than normal before the game, but doesn’t expect to get overly emotional. “For Coach J. to bring it up to the pitchers and for them to do this means the world to me,” Martin said. “That means they care about me and my situation. “They trust me that I’m going to go out and do OK. It’ll be my first high school game without him; it’s going to be tough. I’ll have a lot of fans supporting me. Maybe mentally I’ll be a little down, but it’ll be all right overall.”

The Celtics, who could face the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs, lost their fifth game in a row and remained in seventh.

The Pistons haven’t won at home since before the All-Star break, losing seven straight, while Minnesota had lost 10 of its past 11 road games. Reserve J.J.

Not too early for debate • MUSICK Continued from page C1 In his first 10 seasons, Jordan amassed three NBA championships while averaging 32.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists a game. Already in his 10th season, the 28-year-old James has won one championship (he could have two by season’s end) while averaging 27.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.9 assists a game. Sure, James’ self-serving announcement in 2010 that he was “taking my talents to South Beach” was pure foolishness. But let’s not pretend that Jordan was ego-free. And, yes, James bailed on the team that drafted him to join a talented cast in Miami. But let’s not pretend that Jordan played with a bunch of dads from the YMCA. Is it so wrong to question whether James could become the all-time greatest? My friends who grew up in and around Chicago probably would hurl tomatoes at me for entertaining the subject. Maybe it’s because I was a Missouri kid – a Missouri kid with a Jordan poster on his bedroom wall that showed No. 23 leaping into the sky, but a Missouri kid nonetheless – that I wonder whether Jordan’s reign is permanent. I decided to ask someone

else in my age group with inside knowledge on the subject. Dwyane Wade sat in front of his locker late last month before the Heat’s most recent game against the Bulls. More than a dozen reporters surrounded him, and as Wade joked that much of his family remained Bulls fans, James stretched on the carpet nearby with music filling his giant headphones. Hoping that James couldn’t hear me, I jumped in with a question for Wade. “You grew up watching Michael Jordan,” I told him. “You play with LeBron James.” Wade nodded. He waited. He knew where this was going. “Is one of them better than the other?” He chuckled and prepared a verbal tiptoe. “Michael Jordan is the greatest player that I’ve ever seen play,” Wade said. “And LeBron James is on his own path to becoming great. “That conversation will kind of be at the end of his career. We’ve got a long way to go before that conversation should be had.” Yeah, I guess he’s right. Let’s start it anyway.

This season, Badgley is wrapping up his career, which will be the final season NIU will have one of the four Badgley brothers on its roster.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL ANALYSIS

Nick was part of the program from 2008 to 2009. Since Dan Badgley made his first trip to the mound in 1997, the Badgley brothers have made a total of 215 appearances and 32 starts, throwing 504⅓ innings. Dan and Mark spent time playing professionally after collegiate careers, with Dan spending a year in the Detroit Tigers organization and Mark pitching with the Florida Marlins in 2007. Dan, now the baseball coach at Crystal Lake Central, was even married at Ralph McKinzie Field, the Huskies’ home park, in front of about 100 people. “When I got married, my wife (Christina), she basically surprised me with that, I had no idea,” said Dan, who lives in Kirkland. Ball State, Illinois and West Virginia were other schools that recruited Zach out of McHenry. In the end, the familiarity with NIU’s program won out.

There also was a chance for Zach to play on the same team with Nick for one season. The only time the two had played organized baseball together was summer ball with the Crystal Lake Cardinals. Zach does remember the extremely intense whiffle ball games with the Badgley clan, but this was a chance for the two brothers to be members of the same program. “Since Nick was still on the team, it made it pretty easy,” Zach Badgley said. “I was just comfortable with it.” Five years later (he took a redshirt year in 2010 after sitting out with a torn labrum), Zach is pitching his final year for the Huskies. He’s made six appearances and three starts so far in 2013. In a way, it’s the end of an era. “It’s good, and I guess it’s sad in a way,” Zach said. “Growing up, I saw all of my brothers play every year. ... It’s something cool to look back on in the future, to say four of us played for the same university.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Spring practice kicks off today C-G, McCumber win opener Huskies’ Top 5 storylines to follow By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – This afternoon, Northern Illinois officially will take the football field for the first time since the Huskies’ 31-10 loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl. NIU will work out at Huskie Stadium 15 times from now until April 20, including the annual spring game April 13 (2:30 p.m.) and first-ever Huskie Bowl on April 20 (time TBA). There will be a lot of things that don’t change from last season. Jordan Lynch and his 4,953 yards of total offense are back at quarterback. The entire starting offensive line, one of 2012’s biggest surprises, returns as well. However, seven starters from the Huskies’ underrated defense are gone. Leading receiver Martel Moore (1,083 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns) graduated, as well. Rod Carey is beginning his first full season as coach, replacing Dave Doeren, and there still is a long way until the season opener Aug. 31 at Iowa, but here are a few things to look out for over the next few weeks:

1. The defense NIU’s offense got most of the credit in 2012, and deserv-

edly so. But people forget how good the defense was. The Huskies gave up jonly 19.86 points a game, ranking 21st in the country. However, gone are cornerback Rashaan Melvin, defensive ends Sean Progar and Alan Baxter, as well as linebackers Tyrone Clark and Victor Jacques. Players now listed at the top of NIU’s depth Jordan Lynch chart include linebackers Boomer Mays and Michael Santacaterina, defensive end George Rainey and nose guard Donovan Gordon.

2. How smooth will the coaching transition be? Part of the reason Carey got the job was so the switch from Doeren would go smoothly, and by all accounts, so far it has. However, there are six new assistant coaches. Carey said that when you have a program as successful as NIU’s, it’s not about what is changed, but rather what is kept.

3. Quarterback depth Lynch is the guy this year, no question. But what if he’s forced to sit out for part of a half, a game, even a few games in a row? Matt McIntosh got his first real action last spring and improved as he kept getting

more reps. He enters spring practice as the backup, with redshirt freshmen Matt Williams and Drew Hare, both of whom traveled with the team at times last year, getting reps behind him.

4. An experienced offensive line At last week’s prespring news conference, Carey said that the line got pushed around by Florida State in the Orange Bowl and it left a bad taste in the Huskies’ mouths. A big question mark heading into last season, the entire starting unit is back in 2013, and a lot will be expected of them. “I was thinking back to all my time in coaching, all the way down to high school. I don’t think I’ve ever had an entire O-line back,” Carey said. “You may have had four back in different parts of my career. I may have had five guys that played, but not all five starters back like that. It’s a unique opportunity is the best way to say it.”

Cary-Grove senior Brandon McCumber hurt Warren with his right arm and his bat as the Trojans won their baseball season opener, 6-2, on Tuesday at Rent One Park in Marion. McCumber struck out five, allowed three hits and one walk, and was 2 for 4 with two RBIs for C-G. He had a triple. Andrew Brierton also was 2 for 4, with a double and two RBIs. Jeremy Vasquez had

two stolen bases and scored three times. Patrick Serowka picked up the save with two innings pitched, two strikeouts and no earned runs.

Wheaton, Jacobs defeated Glenbard West, 1-0, but fell to Burlington Central, 3-1. Kylie Dennison and Margaret Rivera scored for the Golden Eagles (1-2). Cary-Grove rolled past Addison Trail, 9-0, and edged Glenbard West, 1-0, on penalty kicks. Emma Baker and Kate Boyd scored a pair of goals each in Game 1, and it was Baker’s seventh-round kick that clinched C-G’s win in Game 2. Krystal Felderman and Caylie Jones both saw time in the goal to earn a pair of shutouts for the Trojans (20).

GIRLS SOCCER Huntley 1, Hersey 1: At Arlington Heights, Deanna Hecht evened the score on an assist from Taryn Jakubowski in the 78th minute, and Jessica Galason made seven saves in the nonconference tie for the Red Raiders (1-01).

McHenry 0, Belvidere North 0: At McHenry, goalkeeper

Erica Patterson made four saves to preserve the shut out • Joe Stevenson and Chris in the nonconference tie for Burrows contributed to this the Warriors (0-0-1). St. Francis Invitational: At report.

5. Who will step up at the other offensive skill positions? Gone are wideouts Moore and Perez Ashford, as well as tight end Jason Schepler and his sound blocking in the running game. Some names to keep an eye on include receivers Angelo Sebastiano, Charlie Miller and Juwan Brescacin, as well as tight ends Luke Eakes, Desroy Maxwell and Tim Semisch.

AP source: NU interviews Duke’s Collins He joined Mike Krzyzewski’s staff in 2000 and was promoted to associate head coach in 2008. Collins, who never has been a head coach, interviewed last year for the job at Illinois State – his father’s alma mater – before withdrawing, saying it wasn’t the right fit. The Redbirds ultimately hired Dan Muller from Vanderbilt’s staff. Speaking over the weekend while the Blue Devils were playing in Philadelphia for the NCAA tournament, Krzyzewski said he feels he has three head coaches on his staff in Collins, associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski and Jeff Capel –

The former Mr. Basketball in Illinois was a star guard for Duke from 1993-96 and played overseas before starting a coaching career that included stints with WNBA’s Detroit Shock and with Tommy Amaker’s staff at Seton Hall.

the former coach at Oklahoma and Virginia Commonwealth. “I could lose any of my guys at any time. I feel I have the best staff in America, pro or college,” Krzyzewski said. Collins “will be great – all three of those guys would be great, and all those guys that work with them, all the pro guys, will tell you the same thing.” Northwestern – which never has appeared in the NCAA tournament – is searching for a replacement for Bill Carmody, who was fired this month after going 192-210 in 13 seasons. His teams made four straight National Invitation Tournament appearances from 2009 to 2012.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Now that Michigan finally has made it back to the second week of the NCAA tournament, coach John Beilein will admit that, yes, this was a pretty important step for the Wolverines. “We were really proud that we could get the team to the NCAA tournament in 2009 and get back there in ’11. That only can go so far,” Beile- John Beilein in said. “You’ve got to keep getting better. To get past this point was good for our program.” Before the tournament, Beilein said Michigan would keep progressing no matter what happened. The Wolverines play several freshmen and have been recruiting well in recent years. But for a team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation this season, another early exit from this tournament would have been jarring. Instead, Michigan (28-7) is in the round of 16 for the first time since 1994, set to take on Kansas on Friday in Arlington, Texas, at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. “We’re definitely proud, honored to be able to play

in the Sweet 16,” guard Trey Burke said. “It feels so good just because last year, it was so devastating.” Last year, the Wolverines lost their NCAA tournament opener to 13th-seeded Ohio. It was a sour way to end a season in which Michigan tied for its first Big Ten title since 1986, but when Burke decided to stay in school after considering an NBA jump, expectations were high for 2012-13. The Wolverines earned their first No. 1 ranking since the Fab Five era, but after a 20-1 start, Michigan stumbled a bit down the stretch in an extremely competitive Big Ten. Beilein never showed any public signs of panic, stressing the fact that his team was young and needed positive reinforcement. “I think with the makeup of our roster, it was really important to keep going in a positive direction. I think it was essential to our success,” Beilein said Tuesday. “We had the makeup of this roster in our mind in every coaching session. What can they handle? What is best for them? What keeps them going?” Michigan fell all the way to a No. 4 seed, but the Wolverines looked confident in their first two NCAA tournament games, dispatching South Dakota State, 71-56, and then routing Virginia Commonwealth, 78-53.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo has hired Bobby Hurley to take over as its men’s basketball coach. Hurley, who was introduced at a news conference Tuesday, completed his first season as an associate coach at Rhode Island this month, working for his brother, Dan Hurley. He spent the previous two seasons as an assistant at Wagner, also Bobby Hurley with Dan serving as head coach. At Buffalo, he takes over for Reggie Witherspoon, who was fired two weeks ago after 14 seasons on the job. Witherspoon went 14-20 this past season. Hurley, a superstar high school guard while playing for his father, Bob Sr., in New Jersey in the 1980s, is best known for his playing days at Duke, where he established himself as one of the nation’s top alltime point guards. He led the Blue Devils to three Final Four berths, including 1992, when he was named most outstanding player. “The appointment of Coach Hurley sends a clear statement that the University at Buffalo is committed to bringing bigtime college athletics to the western New York community and the state at large,” athletic director Danny White

said. “I’m confident after our discussions that he is the right leader to take our program to the next level.” Hurley’s ties to Duke played a factor with White. His father, Kevin White, is the AD at Duke. After college, Hurley was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the 1993 NBA Draft. He went on to play six seasons in the NBA split between the Kings and the then-Vancouver Grizzlies. After retiring, he became a racehorse owner and breeder before being hired as a scout by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2003. The Bulls had been competitive under Witherspoon by finishing with 20 wins in three of the past five seasons. The big knock against their former coach was a failure to land an NCAA tournament berth. Buffalo came close twice, in 2005 and ’09, when the team lost the Mid-American Conference tournament championship. The Bulls did earn four postseason invites, including an NIT appearance in 2005. Witherspoon enjoyed seven winning seasons, and finished with a 198-228 record. The team returns star forward, junior Javon McCrea, who was the MAC’s only player to rank among the top-three in conference in scoring, rebounding, field-goal percentage and blocked shots. He was selected to the all-conference first team for a second straight season.

WHITE SOX 11, RANGERS 3

Sale sharp in final tuneup for White Sox Sox’s Opening Day starter fans five in four innings By JONATHAN DALTON The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. – Chris Sale felt much better about his final tuneup for Opening Day than Matt Harrison did. Sale was sharp in his last Cactus League outing and Dayan Viciedo homered to help power the White Sox past Harrison and the Texas Rangers, 11-3, on Tuesday. Brandon Short hit his first two

home runs of the spring and Angel Sanchez also connected for the Sox. Sale struck out five and allowed a solo shot to Geovany Soto in four otherwise perfect innings. “You want to go out there today and simulate a real game,” Sale said. “It’s time to kind of get away from the working stage and prepare for the regular season. I wanted Chris Sale to treat this as a regular-season game as much as I could.” Harrison, also prepping for his first Opening Day start, yielded four runs – three earned – and seven hits in 3⅓ innings. He needed 81 pitches to get 10 outs. “This was the last game of the

spring. It’s over with,” Harrison said. “Now come the preparations for the first start and getting ready for that and preparing myself mentally and physically. You strive to be the best pitcher you can be and it’s a great honor to start opening day for your club. It’s something that might only happen once.” Harrison was followed by Derek Lowe, who was told earlier Tuesday that he had made the team. Lowe came to Rangers camp after signing a minor league contract March 6. The

39-year-old right-hander has a 175-157 career record in 16 seasons with six teams. Sale retired the first six batters he faced and the final six, with Soto’s long home run to straightaway center sandwiched in between. The left-hander was 17-8 with a 3.05 ERA and 192 strikeouts in 192 innings last year, finishing fourth in the AL in wins and ERA. “It’s all about how you prepare,” Sale said. “I’ll clear my mind as much as I can, not try to have too many thoughts rattling around up there. Sometimes you can beat yourself mentally. That’s one thing I’m going to focus on the most is I feel fine. I feel ready physically.” Adam Dunn gave the Sox a 1-0 lead in the first with an RBI double

against Harrison. Short made it 4-1 in the fourth when he followed an error and Sanchez’s single with his linedrive homer to left-center. Viciedo keyed a five-run sixth with his third home run of the spring. Sanchez went deep in the ninth. Notes: The Sox placed left-handers John Danks and Leyson Septimo on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22. Septimo has a strained left shoulder while Danks is recovering from shoulder surgery in August. The Sox also re-assigned LHP David Purcey to minor league camp. ... The game was delayed briefly in the bottom of the third when a picnic-table umbrella blew onto the field from the right-field concourse. Short eventually grabbed the skidding umbrella and handed it to an usher.

Is Tiger Woods back? Te’o lowers his 40-yard time Only he knows for sure NOTRE DAME PRO DAY

By TOM COYNE

The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. – Life must be going well for Tiger Woods when he can make headlines in the gossip pages for dating Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn and in the sports pages for winning Bay Hill and returning to No. 1 in the world. All in the same week. The studio photos of Woods and Vonn that were posted on their Facebook pages looked more suitable for a catalog showcasing their clothing sponsors. Far more natural were the poses Woods struck Monday afternoon with Arnold Palmer after winning his tournament – left arm draped around Palmer’s shoulder, both unable to contain their laughter over whatever was said that could not be repeated. “But it was funny,” Woods said, breaking into a broad grin as he replayed the exchange in his mind. “Really funny, actually.” Yes, Woods appears to be in a happy place. Winning does that, and Woods is starting to win with alarming frequency. In the one year and two weeks since he limped off the course at Doral with tightness in his left Achilles tendon – the same injury that forced him to miss two majors in 2011 – Woods has won six times in his past 20 starts on the PGA Tour. In his three wins this year, no one got closer than two shots at any point in the final round. The limp has been replaced by a swagger. “He looks a lot more comfortable out there. He doesn’t really miss many shots. And if he does, it’s not by a whole lot,” said Rickie Fowler, who played with Woods in the final group and has seen plenty of him at practice at The Medalist in South Florida, where both are members. “You know when another guy is playing well and he’s on top of his game,” Fowler added. “He’s got a little something.” Haven’t we heard this before? Remember, Woods won Bay Hill a year ago and was declared the favorite to win a fifth green jacket at the Masters. Instead, he never broke par and wound up with his highest score as a pro at Augusta National and tied for 40th. He won the Memorial in his final event before the U.S. Open, and then shared the 36-hole lead at Olympic Club. He failed to finish in the top 20. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype because we know how good he was and believe he can be that good – if not better – again. This latest win at Bay Hill, however, was different. It gave Woods consecutive wins for the first time since August 2009. Asked the last time he felt this good going into the Masters, he said, “It’s been a few years.” “I think it shows that my game is consistent,” Woods said. “It’s at a high level.” Woods lost part of his mystique when he stopped making putts. Now he seems

ON THE FRINGE Doug Ferguson

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o ended a trying three months by putting up a respectable 40-yard dash time Tuesday. “I thought I did pretty good,” Te’o said after his pro day workout in front of scouts from 27 of 32 NFL teams. “I’m very pleased with the way that I performed.” Some had expressed concern whether Te’o could be an every-down linebacker in the NFL after he was timed at 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the combine in Indianapolis. But he was timed at 4.69 seconds at Notre Dame’s indoor practice facility, attributing the improvement to being more comfortable at home and around friends. Te’o is hoping to be picked in the first round of next month’s NFL draft. He also bench-pressed 225 pounds 21 times and ran the 60yard shuttle in 11.78 seconds while letting his other perfor-

The Heisman Trophy runner-up had an off game in the BCS championship game against Alabama in January. He then came under scrutiny after it was revealed he fell in love online with a woman who didn’t exist and then had the disappointing time at the combine.

His performance Tuesday came as a relief. “This is possibly the best day ever. It’s a big, big burden off your shoulders,” he said. “It feels like it’s your birthday. I’m very glad that it’s over.” Te’o already has met with some NFL teams and has plans to meet with more. He said teams have different levels of interest in talking about how he was duped into having an online relationship with a fake girlfriend. “Some guys just want to be brief on what happened. Some guys go into a little bit more depth. But overall, it’s been a great opportunity, a great experience. It went better than I expected,” he said. Te’o said he had heard some stories about players being grilled by NFL management, but said that hasn’t been what he’s encountered. He said his message to them is he wants to focus being as a football player. “I’m a football player, I made mistakes, but nothing that affected my play on the football field,” he said.

Pastry does double duty for easy appetizers, desserts By J.M. HIRSCH

Mini cheese quiches

The Associated Press Easter dinner isn’t generally the sort of meal we try to rush. The whole point is to savor the meal, not sprint through it the way we do most weeknights. But that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the easy, time-saving trick here and there. In this case, I’ve applied the same technique to both the appetizer and the dessert. It’s an approach that frees me up to focus on the rest of the meal – the all-important glazed ham, the roasted vegetables, perhaps a cocktail (or three). The trick begins with purchased frozen phyllo pastry cups (also called “fillo shells”). You’ll find them in the grocer’s freezer section alongside the puff pastry. These tiny cups come fully cooked and thaw in minutes. All you need to do is fill them and eat them (though you may need to bake them depending on your filling). For the appetizer, we don’t even need a recipe. All I do is transform the classic Easter quiche into bite-size treats. To do this, heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, then arrange the phyllo cups on it. Fill each cup with a small amount (about 1 to 2 teaspoons) of fillings. Chopped cooked meats, chopped vegetables and shredded cheese are great choices. In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk 1 egg, a splash of water, milk or cream, and a bit of salt and pepper. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon of the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the egg is puffed and the fillings are lightly browned. That’s it. The quiche cups can be served warm or room temperature. For the dessert, I went with a ridiculously easy and delicious no-cook option – creamy lemon-berry tartlets. These are so simple you even could delegate this part of the meal to the kids. Assuming these tartlets won’t be consumed immediately, you don’t even need to let them thaw before filling them. Just proceed with the recipe

How do you make pound cake even more buttery and delicious? Easy! Pan-sear slices of it with butter and sugar. If you know how to make a grilled cheese, you can make this dessert, which is a perfect ending to an Easter – or any springtime – dinner. Panseared pound cake is decadent and rich, so we’ve paired it with a fresh, minty fruit salad for balance. Looking for even more indulgence? Top the whole thing with whipped cream spiked with powdered sugar and orange liqueur. Looking for a little less indulgence? Opt for banana bread instead of pound cake and top the fruit salad with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt.

Pan-Seared Pound Cake With Minty Fruit Salad Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 8 2 tablespoons sugar, divided 3 navel oranges, peeled and segmented 1 cup blueberries 1 cup raspberries 1 cup quartered strawberries 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the sugar with the orange segments, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, lemon juice and mint. Stir gently, then set aside. Spread both sides of each slice of the pound cake with a bit of the butter, lightly coating the surface. Use the remaining tablespoon of sugar to sprinkle over both sides of each slice. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Working in batches, toast the cake slices for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden and caramelized. Serve warm and topped with the fruit salad.

Kids can be in charge of DIY mints By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press A little retro and a whole lot of fun, cream cheese mints are the perfect way to keep little hands busy during Easter dinner preparations. Make up the dough, then let the kids play around with different flavors and colors (or not, if you’re trying to avoid pink and green hands). They also can form the mints in a variety of shapes. Consider making lemon mints, classic peppermints, or orange cream mints. You even could do mocha mints with coffee and chocolate extracts.

A minty Easter lamb deliciously turned inside out By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press The classic Easter or spring lamb often is served with mint jelly. And that’s fine, assuming you want to play it safe. We decided to flip things around. Actually, we didn’t so much as flip the dish as turn it inside out. Rather than relegate the mint to a condiment added at the table, we used it to create a vibrant pesto, which we then stuffed in a leg of lamb so it could infuse the meat with flavor during roasting. And to stand in for the sweet and sour flavors of the mint sauce, we braised red cabbage right under the lamb. The result is an intensely meaty, flavorful accompaniment. If you still want a minty sauce, the reserved pesto can be thinned with olive oil, then drizzled over each serving. The whole roast can be prepped ahead of time, then refrigerated overnight. The day of the dinner, just pop the whole roasting pan in the oven and you’re good to go. If your cabbage or lamb begins to overbrown during roasting, just tent the pan with foil.

Orange And Mint-Stuffed Lamb With Sweet-AndSour Cabbage Start to finish: 4 1/2 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 8 1 small head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup red wine 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Salt Zest and juice of 2 oranges 1 bunch fresh mint, leaves only 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup grated manchego cheese 1/2 cup toasted cashews Ground black pepper 3 1/2-pound boneless leg of lamb

3 slices stale or crusty bread 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, red wine, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of a roasting pan large enough to fit the leg of lamb. Set aside. To make the pesto, in a processor, combine the orange zest and juice, the mint, olive oil, cheese, cashews, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Process until completely blended, then reserve 1/2 cup. Place the leg of lamb on a cutting board. Starting on a long side, cut the meat in half horizontally, but do not cut all the way through. Leave about 1 inch of meat uncut at the other side. Open the meat like a book, then place a piece of plastic wrap over it. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the meat to an even thickness of about 2 inches. Season the meat all over with salt and pepper. Spread the pesto over the cut side of the meat. Starting at one of the long sides, roll the lamb into a log with the pesto in the center. Use kitchen twine to tie the lamb in several spots to prevent it from unrolling. Place the lamb over the cabbage mixture in the roasting pan. Set aside. In a food processor, pulse the bread until it is reduced to soft crumbs. Stir in the mustard, then pat the mixture over the outside of the lamb. Roast for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Allow the lamb to rest for 15 minutes, then slice it across the roll. Serve alongside the braised cabbage from the bottom of the pan and the reserved mint pesto.

Cut the fat, keep the flavor

love lamb, in every way and every cut. But I don’t eat it very often because of the same thing that tends to make it so very delicious – its fattiness. Still, all bets are off during Easter, when I happily bow to tradition. In Easters past, I’ve roasted a whole leg of lamb or part of a leg and prepared it in a Mediterranean fashion. Trouble is, there’s always so much left over. So this year, I’m going with smaller lamb steaks that are cut from the leg, one of the leanest cuts of lamb (especially if you also trim away any fat). In fact, the leg is so lean you have to figure out how to replace the flavor and moisture that goes missing when you kiss the fat goodbye. In this recipe, that is accomplished with a rosemary-garlic rub with added salt. When you rub a piece of protein with salt and let it sit, the salt eventually makes the meat juicier. It works like a brine, minus the liquid. Having chosen a lean cut of meat, I also wanted a lean way to cook it. Grilling fit the bill. The problem is grills are banned here in New York City. And elsewhere in the country, many people still haven’t hauled their grills out of storage for the season yet. The solution is a grill pan. In my opinion, every home should have one. Grilling done properly – that is, as long as you don’t incinerate the ingredient in question – is a healthy way to coax flavor out of meats and

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton vegetables, not least because it requires very little fat. Grilled marinated lamb all by itself is pretty darn tasty, but I wanted to gild the lily a bit. After all, it is Easter. Since I already was giving the lamb the Mediterranean treatment with a rosemary-garlic rub, I thought why not top it with an egg-lemon sauce, a stalwart of the Greek culinary repertoire? But egg-lemon sauces can be tricky because the sauce is thickened only by the egg. If you don’t cook it enough, the sauce won’t thicken. If you cook it too much, the eggs scramble. So I stabilized the sauce by adding cornstarch, which makes it creamy and curd-less, and allowed me to keep it hot over low heat without any worries. I finished the sauce with chopped baby artichokes since artichokes and lemon are such a happy pair. I like frozen artichokes because unlike the canned or bottled varieties, there’s no salt or oil added to them. Then I caramelized them under the broiler for a few minutes to concentrate their flavor. Of course, if you have the time and inclination to prep and cook fresh baby artichokes, please go ahead. You can poach them in acidulated water until tender, then add them to the sauce.

Grilled Lamb Steaks With Artichoke Lemon Sauce Start to finish: 1 hour 40 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 4 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, divided 2 cloves garlic, minced Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 pound lamb steaks cut from the leg (preferably about 3/4inch thick) 1 cup artichoke hearts, patted dry and chopped (frozen is best) 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 1 large egg yolk 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon cornstarch Set aside 1 teaspoon of the chopped rosemary. In a wide, shallow bowl combine the remaining rosemary, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the lamb and coat it well on all sides with the herb mixture. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight. Set an oven rack 4 inches from the broiler heating element. Heat the oven to broil. In a small bowl, toss the artichokes with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the artichokes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning them several times, until they are golden around the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the broiler and set aside. In a small saucepan over medium, heat the chicken broth until it is simmering. In a small

bowl whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, reserved teaspoon of rosemary and the cornstarch. Add a little of the chicken stock to the mixture in a stream, whisking. Add the egg mixture back to the chicken stock and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce starts to bubble. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the artichokes. Keep warm over low heat. Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Wipe off most of the garlic herb mixture from the lamb and spray the meat with olive oil cooking spray. Add the lamb to the grill pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning once, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the lamb to a plate, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the lamb against the grain into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Add the lamb juices from the plate to the artichoke lemon sauce. Divide the sliced lamb between 4 serving plates and spoon sauce over each plate.

Keeping the (mostly) traditional glazed Easter ham By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press Who says the traditional Easter ham has to be traditional? We understand there is good reason for many traditions, particularly when it comes to food. After all, many food traditions earned their place because they are simply delicious. The glazed ham is a fine example. And that’s why we decided not to mess with that part of this spring staple. We did, however, play around with what our ham is glazed with. We decided to ditch the orange marmalade, brown sugar, pineapple-cherry, and various clove-spiked glazing options. Instead, we took our inspiration from an Asian pantry staple — hoisin sauce. It comes ready-made by the jar, usually in the Asian food section of the grocer. From there, we stirred in a few extras to jazz it up, then used it as a simple glaze. In keeping with the theme, we served the ham with a light slaw made from Napa cabbage and snow peas dressed

with a light vinaigrette. While our ham was on the large size, if you don’t need one quite so big, you can always use any extra glaze as a sauce alongside the ham. We know... Twenty-four servings is a lot. But Easter ham is like Thanksgiving turkey; you want ample leftovers. So we went big to ensure you’ll have plenty to send home with guests, and still have more for sandwiches and soups the next few days.

Hoisin-Glazed Ham With Napa Cabbage-Snow Pea Slaw Start to finish: 5 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 24 For the ham: 10- to 12-pound bone-in ham 9.4-ounce jar hoisin sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger For the slaw:

1 head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and sliced 6 ounces snow peas (about 1 heaping cup) 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 tablespoon sugar Pinch of salt Ground black pepper Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Fit a large roasting pan with a roasting rack. Set the ham on the rack, then slice a hash pattern over the entire surface, cutting about 1/2 inch deep. Roast the ham for 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the hoisin, five-spice powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and ginger. Once the ham has roasted for 1 hour, brush half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, being sure to get some of the glaze down into the checked slice marks. Roast for another hour, then brush the ham with the remaining glaze. Continue roasting, monitoring the temperature and color. Cook the ham until it reaches 160

degrees F. at the center, about another 2 hours. If the outside of the ham begins to get too dark, tent it with foil. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. While the ham bakes, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, combine the

Napa cabbage, scallions and snow peas. Cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready, in a small bowl whisk together the rice vinegar, oil, ginger, sugar and salt and pepper. Toss the slaw with the dressing just before serving.

Easter pie is delicious, March into Madness! rich Italian tradition THE PERSONAL CHEF Debi Stuckwisch An Italian tradition, Easter Pie, as it is colloquially known, is a quiche-like, savory pie filled with eggs, cheese, meat and a variety of other possibilities. It is definitely not diet food as it is rich and dense – part of the reason I only make it once a year. There are many varieties out there depending on the region of Italy your family is from. The story, as it’s been told to me, is that this Pizza Piena is made by Italian women on Good Friday as an abundance of meat and rich foods that was abstained from for 40 days of fasting during Lent. It was prepared, cooked and chilled on Good Friday, but could not be cut and eaten before noon on Holy Saturday, although some wait to serve it on Easter Sunday. Pizza Piena is meant to be sliced into pieces and eaten at room temperature. Serve it alongside colored eggs, hot-cross buns and fruit salad on Easter morning. It can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week, or slices can be individually wrapped and frozen. Enjoy! Note: As a shortcut for this recipe, you could use pizza dough or Pillsbury pie crust instead of making your own dough.

Easter Pizza Piena For the dough: 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet) 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar 2 cups warm water (about 115 degrees F.) 1 tablespoon Kosher salt 6-8 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing bowl For the filling: 8 large eggs 1/2 pound of ham 1/2 pound of salami 1/2 pound of coppa 1/2 pound of Italian sausage, browned and chopped in small pieces 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 pound fresh ricotta or Italian basket cheese For assembly: 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced 1/2 pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced Parmesan cheese 1 egg (to create egg wash over crust)

HOW TO ENTER Photo provided

For the dough: In the base of a stand mixer, combine 1 package of active dry yeast with 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 cups warm water. Whisk well to dissolve and let stand 2 minutes. Add the tablespoon of Kosher salt and 6 cups of all-purpose flour, to start. Use the dough hook on your mixer to mix together, increasing speed as the flour is incorporated and a dough starts to form. Add the olive oil, and continue to knead at high speed in the mixer, adding more flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough is smooth and springy but not sticky. The dough should form a kind of a tornado within the mixer as it is kneaded – coming away from the sides entirely but still connected to the bottom. If it still sticks to the sides of the bowl, add more flour. If it comes off the sides and bottom completely, add an extra tablespoon or two of water. Let knead in the mixer for 5 minutes. The dough with be smooth and able to be handled when ready. Prepare a large glass or metal bowl by drizzling olive oil in the bottom. Remove the dough from the mixer and form into a smooth ball. Place into the oiled bowl, turning once so the oil coats the top and bottom. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free place to rise until the dough doubles in size – about 2 hours. [Note: I always place my rising dough inside my (turned off) oven, allowing just the heat from the pilot light to keep it warm. Other good spots are inside a (turned off) microwave.] For the filling: Stack various meats into small piles, and using a sharp knife, dice into half-inch pieces. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk 8 large eggs well until frothy. Whisk in the black pepper and the ricotta or basket cheese until combined. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir in all of the cut meat pieces, mixing until all are evenly distributed. Set aside. To assemble: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, and grease the inside of a springform pan with olive oil or nonstick baking spray. Once the dough has risen, poke it down to release the air

bubbles. Sprinkle some flour on a clean work space and transfer the dough to the floured surface. Cut the dough in half, returning one half to the bowl. Shape into a ball, and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large round (about 12 inches in diameter). If the dough keeps pulling back, let it rest for a few minutes before trying again. Gently fit the rolled dough into the prepared springform pan, tucking it into the sides. The dough should overhang about 1 to 2 inches around the top. Use a large spoon to pour in about 1/3 of the egg and meat filling, spreading it evenly. Top with about 1/3 of the sliced mozzarella and provolone cheeses and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Continue in this order until all the filling, eggs, and cheese have been added (or until the filling reaches the top of the pan). Grab the second half of the dough and place on the floured work surface. Roll out a second round of dough. Cover the filled pan entirely. The dough should overhang about 1” on all sides. Use a knife or kitchen shears to trim off any of the dough longer than an inch, and then pinch together the top and bottom until sealed. Then roll up the edges evenly around the pan to create a rim. Whisk an egg in a small bowl with a 1/4 cup of water. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the entire pie. Poke holes into the crust to vent, perhaps in the sign of the cross for the occasion. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before releasing the spring and removing the outside ring. Transfer to a serving plate and let cool completely. The pie can be enjoyed the same day, or chilled up to 2 nights in the fridge before serving cold or at room temperature.

Delicate cookie ideal with lemon By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press For most people, Easter means it’s time for chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. And while those things are fine, for me this season is about all things lemon. I usually make lemon bars that are tart and refreshing, more lemon than egg. But this year I decided to riff on one of my favorite cookies, the Mexican wedding cookie, also known as the Russian tea cake, pecan butterballs, snowballs, and many other names. The delicious simplicity of these treats begs for a burst of lemon. The zest adds a delicate lemon flavor I find is a perfect balance to the richness of the butter and the pecans. If you want an even bigger burst of lemon, you can add a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract to the dough and 1 teaspoon of unsweetened lemon-aid mix to the powdered sugar used to coat the cookies. You also can add a drop or two of

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted, divided 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain salt Zest of 1 very large or 2 small lemons 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 drop yellow food coloring (optional) 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup lightly toasted pecans, finely chopped in a food processor or nut chopper

yellow food coloring to make the cookies yellow and more in keeping with Easter colors. The recipe also is easy to adapt to other nuts, and other flavors, even chocolate (adding about 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dough and substituting orange zest for the lemon). The cookie dough is so easy to make you could whip up several variations for Easter brunch.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, then beat well. Add the salt, lemon zest and vanilla and beat until creamy. Add the food coloring, if using. A little at a time, beat in the flour just until mixed. Add the nuts, using a silicone spatula to stir them in.

Woman refuses to give lover the kind of pleasure he wants Dear Abby: I hope you will print this because I’m sure many women share this dilemma. My boyfriend, whom I adore and who is one of the kindest men on Earth, wants me to perform a certain sex act on him. While I understand that many people – and I don’t judge them – enjoy it, I am not one of them. I would feel degraded if I even tried it. He says he won’t pressure me about it, yet he talks about it a lot. Just listening to him talk about it puts unwanted pressure on me. I have tried to be honest with him. I told him I don’t want to do this, but I’m afraid if I don’t, it will damage my relationship with him. However, if I give in, I’ll end up feeling self-loathing and resentment. Either way, it will be damaging. We’re in our 40s. Please offer any advice you might have. – Worried In California Dear Worried: You are indeed not alone in this dilemma. You should not have to do anything you are uncomfortable with. The next time your boyfriend raises the subject, turn the discussion to amorous activities you both enjoy. Then suggest that instead of this particular sex act, you engage in his “No. 2 favorite.” Dear Abby: I’m a 51-year-old woman with a question. What

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips do you recommend a person do or say when being lied to? I’m not talking about the little white lies we all tell to spare someone’s feelings, smooth things over, etc. I once had a 21-year-old man tell me he was a veteran of a war that had been over for 10 years. I felt like an idiot pretending to believe him and knew he’d be laughing at me later, but frankly, I felt scared to confront him. – Heard A

Whopper Dear Heard A Whopper: If you have reason to feel the person talking to you is being untruthful, be polite and end the conversation. And if your intuition tells you the person is someone to be afraid of, put as much distance between you as possible and avoid that person in the future. Dear Abby: I am a plus-sized woman. I am loud and boisterous, and I like to surround myself with similar women. However, there is a problem I am now facing. Many of my friends have made amazing transformations and gotten fit. I am fully supportive and impressed, but I see the price they are

paying. They no longer are confident and vivacious. They have become timid, approval-seeking shells of their previous selves. Why do newly thin women forget how awesome their personalities used to be? – Big

Beauty In Illinois Dear Big Beauty: Not knowing your friends, I can’t answer for them. But it is possible having become “transformed and fit,” they no longer feel they need their loud and boisterous personas to compete for attention. Dear Abby: When I was growing up, my father would ask my mother what she wanted, and then he would buy the opposite. For example, if she wanted a brown sofa, he would buy a blue one. One day I realized that he acts the same way toward me. He will ask my opinion about the color of something – like an appliance – then buy the opposite color. Is there a name for this behavior? –

Anonymous In Atlanta Dear Anonymous: Yes, there is. It is called “passive aggression,” and it’s a way of demonstrating veiled hostility without being directly confrontational.

OPEN FOR SEASON!

Cure for common cold is elusive Dear Dr. K: Is there any way to prevent a cold? Dear Reader: The typical cold is a relatively mild misery that goes away without special treatment after about a week. Still, it’s a misery most of us would rather avoid. Colds are caused by viruses – more than 200 different types. Because the infection is not bacterial, antibiotics don’t help. Over-the-counter cold medicines are available, but not always effective. So the search continues for anything that can fend off cold-causing viruses or speed their exit from your body. Here is a rundown of some of the candidates. Vitamins. Nobel laureate Linus Pauling proposed that large daily doses – 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams (mg) – of vitamin C could prevent colds. Pauling was a genius who made major scientific discoveries and was awarded the Nobel Prize. But even geniuses can be wrong. By and large, research hasn’t supported his assertion. There’s some evidence that vitamins D and E might help fend off respiratory infections, but the evidence is not strong enough to recommend either vitamin for cold-fighting purposes.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff Echinacea. The research hasn’t been very encouraging. One review found some evidence that a certain part of one particular species of the Echinacea plant family might be an effective early treatment for colds in adults. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Other plant-based treatments, such as ginseng, elderberry, garlic and olive leaf, have been offered as cold preventives and cures. But none has emerged as clearly effective. Zinc. The results have been mixed. A 2011 meta-analysis found that generally healthy people who took zinc within 24 hours of the onset of cold symptoms reduced the duration and severity of their colds, compared with people who took a sugar pill. But there’s no word yet on what dose and formulation of zinc is best. Exercise. Here’s another reason to work out. Regular exercise may put your body in a better position to fight off a cold. Regular exercise seems

to invigorate the immune system. (But there also is some evidence that the kind of intensive training that top athletes engage in can actually weaken the immune system.) Sleep. Your mother was right: Getting a good night’s sleep keeps you healthy and may keep colds away. In one study, people who got less than seven hours of sleep a night were almost three times as likely to get a cold as those who got eight or more hours of sleep. I know I’m going to get letters from people who swear a vitamin, or an herbal preparation, or zinc works for them. I’m not really disagreeing with them. Studies ask whether a particular treatment works for the average person. A treatment that does not work for the average person still may work for some people. Perhaps they have different genes. If you’re convinced a treatment helps you, and if it doesn’t pose any risk (and most of those above don’t), then why not use it?

Bieber accused of battery THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, March 27, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com

A neighbor accused Justin Bieber on Tuesday of battery and making threats during an argument in suburban Los Angeles, authorities said. No one was arrested, and few details were immediately available. Online schedules indicate the “Baby” singer is in the midst of a European tour and performed a show in Poland on Monday night. Authorities were called to the Calabasas, Calif., scene just after 9 a.m., said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “There have been allegations made against Mr. Bieber of battery and making threats,” Whitmore said. It’s unclear who called authorities, Whitmore said.

ESPN awards Roberts

Crystal Bowersox on Broadway Former “American Idol” contestant Crystal Bowersox will officially be taking a walk after midnight on Broadway. Producers of the Patsy Cline musical “Always... Patsy Cline” said Tuesday that Bowersox will portray the legendary country singer in a new production this summer in New York. John Rando will direct. Performances begin in July with an August opening. The theater and exact dates haven’t been announced. Written in 1988 by Ted Swindley, “Always... Patsy Cline” is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961 and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death in 1963 in a plane crash at age 30. The musical features 27 Cline hits, including “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “I Fall To Pieces,” “Crazy,” “She’s Got You,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Back In Baby’s Arms” and “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” A live band accompanies the action. Bowersox, born in Elliston, Ohio, had expressed interest in the project but producers only publicly announced the plans Tuesday. The name of the musical is borrowed from the Cline’s letters to the fan, Louise Seger, which she signed “[Love] Always... Patsy Cline.” Oscar and Emmy nominee Annette O’Toole will play Seger. The show made its world premiere at Stages Repertory Theatre in Houston, where it is playing in honor of the show’s 25th anniversary. It has been staged all over the U.S., Canada, the UK and Australia. This year is the 50th anniversary of Cline’s death.

ESPN is staying in the family in giving its Arthur Ashe Courage Award to Robin Roberts at its annual ESPY awards this summer. The “Good Morning America” anchor is being saluted for how she kept viewers involved in her treatments for two serious illnesses. She had breast cancer in 2007 and Robin Roberts last year had to undergo a bone marrow transplant to treat a rare blood disorder. Roberts returned to “Good Morning America” last month. Roberts came to sister company ABC from ESPN, where she was the network’s first black female sportscaster.

Singer Dionne Warwick owes nearly $10 million in back taxes and has filed for bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 petition filed this month in New Jersey, Warwick lists liabilities that include nearly $7 million owed to the Internal Revenue Service for the years 1991 to 1999 and more than $3 million in business taxes owed to the state of California. Warwick lists her current address in South Orange. Warwick’s publicist says the singer has paid back the actual amount of the taxes but that penalties and interest have accumulated over the years.

Judge Judy’s son embroiled in rape case

A suburban district attorney who is the son of TV’s “Judge Judy” is being accused of interfering in a child rape case in which the suspect is his personal trainer. Putnam County District Attorney Adam Levy has recused himself. But the local sheriff says Levy still is trying to influence, and perhaps undermine, the investigation. Levy says he has acted properly and the sheriff’s allegations are unfounded. Levy’s mother, Judy Sheindlin of “Judge Judy,” says the investigation should focus on the rape case.

Oscar Mike owner Noah Currier at his business in Marengo. The company moved to the warehouse and office space in January.

‘On the move’ Marengo business gives back to disabled veterans By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com MARENGO – In a blink of an eye, Noah Currier’s life was altered forever. One second he was a young Marine, fresh from a tour in Iraq, and in the next instant he was paralyzed from the neck down. It was 2003, and the then 21-yearold was just three days returned from combat. He and another Marine were returning to Camp Pendelton, Calif., when his driver fell asleep at the wheel, rolling their vehicle about a dozen times into an embankment. The accident left Currier, of Poplar Grove, a quadriplegic. Currier was supposed to fly home the next day. “It was tough to deal with,” the 31-year-old Marine Corps veteran said. “I went from being a 6-foot-1, strong, young Marine, to sitting 90 degrees in a wheelchair. It took some time to deal with it. ... It doesn’t help to be angry about it all the time.” Today Currier is the founder and president of Oscar Mike, a Marengo company that sells American-made, military-themed T-shirts and apparel. Ten percent of proceeds go to the Oscar Mike Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the company that sends disabled veterans to adaptive sporting events. Oscar Mike is military radio jargon for “on the move.” A few years after his accident, Currier needed help, and got an idea. He created a T-shirt emblazoned with a Marine Corps logo and a saying that read, “He who sheds blood with me shall forever be my brother,” a nod to Shakespeare’s “Henry V.”

Chris Hull (left), Noah Currier, Andrew Hedlund and Mark Hladish talk while working at Oscar Mike in Marengo. In about three months, T-shirts sales netted about $12,000 – enough to send Currier and another veteran to necessary physical therapy. But his story doesn’t end there. A few years later, Currier participated in his first adaptive sporting event – downhill skiing in Aspen, Colo. “I never thought that’d be possible,” he said. When he’d conquered what he thought to be the unimaginable, it made everything else seem effortless – even starting a business and nonprofit. Currier soon realized that other veterans couldn’t afford to attend these life-changing sporting events. Recalling the success of the T-shirt fundraiser, Currier had another idea.

He also had a garage that served as his warehouse, a bedroom that was his office, and about a $30,000 bankroll to get the business moving. Oscar Mike was launched on Veterans Day 2011, or 11-11-11. The company moved to the Marengo warehouse and office space in January. Oscar Mike has seven employees, five of which are disabled veterans. “We are disabled veterans. ... We are who we help,” Currier said. Oscar Mike does much of its sales online, at www.oscarmike.org, which provides the company with a wider reach. The first year netted about $60,000 in sales, Currier said. Locally, Oscar Mike goods can be purchased at D Christine’s in Marengo. For more information, visit www. oscarmike.org.

MCC offers Forge Ahead scholarships NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The Friends of McHenry County College Foundation announces a new scholarship for MCC students that will offer up to 24 full scholarships annually beginning with 12 scholarships awarded for the fall 2013 semester. The Forge Ahead Scholarship was established with a $100,000 cash gift by Michael Klingenberg of Twin Lakes, Wis. The Forge Ahead MCC and University scholarships are expected to last eight years. Klingenberg retired earlier this month as vice president-chief financial officer at Scot Forge Co. in Spring Grove. In 2015, the Forge Ahead University Scholarship will provide financial assistance for two to three MCC students who plan to transfer to a public four-year university to obtain a bachelor’s degree. Those receiving the Forge Ahead’s university portion of the scholarship will get 50 percent of their tuition paid during their final

McHENRY – A group of investors led by a New York private equity firm purchased McHenry-based aftermarket auto parts maker Brake Parts Inc. Monday. The sale will not affect local jobs at this time, said Jeff Stauffer, vice president of global marketing for Brake Parts Inc. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. “Now that the deal has been completed, the BPI team along with our strategic partners are eager to move forward,” Brakes Parts Inc. President and CEO David Overbeeke said in a press release. “Brake Parts Inc. has a strong heritage of leading the category in product quality and innovation, first to market applications and superior customer service.” Brake Parts Inc. is a leading global brake system products manufacturer. It makes brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, calipers, hydraulic parts and wheel hubs. Its Raybestos brand of brakes are used by NASCAR teams such as Joe Gibbs Racing and Roush Fenway Racing.

two years at an Illinois four-year college or university. In addition to the cash gift, Klingenberg also donated real estate to the foundation, featuring two acres of lakefront real estate in Twin Lakes, valued at nearly $700,000. Plans call for the land to be sold in early spring and the proceeds of the sale of the property will be added to the Forge Ahead Scholarship fund. “We appreciate this generous gift. I think that Michael Klingenberg is a kindhearted man who cares about young people getting a quality education,” said Bill Brennan, executive director of the Friends of McHenry County College Foundation. “He wants to make sure high school graduates continue their education, beginning with two years at McHenry County College.” “I believe that for most people there is nothing more important than education in determining an enjoyable career path, standard of living, general happiness and pride in what you contribute to society,” Klingen-

berg said. “MCC is a great place to continue your education after high school, whether you are interested in a trade, an associate’s degree or eventually continuing on to a four-year university and possibly beyond. MCC provides a great education value that I choose to support in order to help students who want to advance their education, but may not have the financial resources to do so without some assistance.” To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must be a resident and high school graduate from within MCC College District 528 and pursuing an associate degree or certificate at MCC. Applicants also must have a high school cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale or 2.75 GPA at MCC, demonstrate financial need through the FAFSA application process and provide a letter of recommendation and complete the MCC scholarship application.

Alternative investments to lessen volatility

Durable goods orders rise on aircraft demand

Prolonged stock market volatility has caused many investors to question how much of their portfolios should be allocated to equities. If the stock market is making you nervous, it’s important to understand that there are alternatives, which, when used along with stocks, may increase diversification and potentially lessen volatility. However, it’s just as important to understand that alternative investments also come with risks. Alternative investments take many forms. Here is a look at several common investment types. Real Estate Investment Trusts. REITs invest in groups of professionally managed properties such as office buildings, apartments, warehouses, or health care facilities. To qualify as a REIT, a company must invest at least 75 percent of its total assets in real estate, must derive at least 75 percent of gross income from rents or mortgage interest, and must pay at least 90 percent of its taxable income in the form of shareholder dividends. REITs trade on major exchanges and can be bought or sold as you would trade a stock.

WASHINGTON – A surge in commercial aircraft demand pushed orders for U.S. longlasting manufactured goods up sharply in February. The gain offset a steep drop in orders that signal company investment plans, although economists viewed the decline as a temporary setback. The broader trend in business investment remains favorable, they noted, and should add to growth in the January-March quarter. Overall orders for durable goods surged 5.7 percent in February from January, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. It was the biggest monthly increase in five months. A rebound in volatile commercial aircraft orders drove the gain. Those orders rose 95.3 percent after a 24 percent drop in January. Orders for motor vehicles and parts rose 3.8 percent, the best showing since July.

FINANCE Tim Dooley Commodities. These investments include metals such as gold or silver, oil, and agricultural products. In the case of gold or silver, there are dealers who trade these precious metals. If you take physical possession of gold or silver, you will need to arrange for storage and insurance. Because many investors do not want to make these arrangements, investments that track the price of an underlying commodity are becoming more popular. Private equity. Major categories of private equity include venture capital, leveraged buyouts, and mezzanine financing. Investors participate in private markets through collective vehicles such as partnerships that actively manage the investment assets on the investors’ behalf. Successful investing in this area requires the ability to assess complex financial structures, assume outsized risk in pursuit of superior reward, and tol-

erate extended periods of illiquidity. Private equity firms frequently require investors to make fairly large commitments. Hedge funds. The term hedge fund is a catch-all phrase describing funds that follow aggressive investment strategies such as intensive use of derivatives and proprietary computerized trading. Hedge funds typically are engineered to seek a more favorable risk-adjusted return than their investors might obtain from a fund that follows a standard market benchmark. These funds are typically offered to investors whose portfolios include more than $1 million in financial assets. All investing involves risk, including loss of principal; and alternative investments by themselves can be highly volatile. But when used in combination with stocks or other assets, they may help to smooth out longterm returns and provide an alternative when stock returns are choppy. Be sure to consult with your financial professional before investing. The stock market has had quite a

run. Portfolio management requires forward looking thinking and discipline. I am currently recommending that investors take a look at their asset allocation to make sure it hasn’t gotten out of balance. In addition, suitable investors should consider adding a little bit of these alternatives as they may help shelter from the next inevitable pullback. For investors with $1 million-plus portfolios that would like a professional to comment on their overall portfolio structure, we do provide a free service in which we analyze your current game plan. I call it a cup of coffee and a second opinion. Most people find it a helpful and enjoyable experience. Happy planning!

Home prices rise 8.1 pct., most since June 2006 Sales of new homes slip 4.6 pct. in February

The Associated Press

Consumer confidence falls in March

WASHINGTON – U.S. home prices rose in January at the fastest annual pace since June 2006, just before the housing bubble burst. The gain shows the housing recovery is strengthening ahead of the all-important spring buying season. The Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller 20-city home price index climbed 8.1 percent in the 12 months ending in January. That’s up from a 6.8 annual gain in December. Prices rose in all 20 cities. Eight markets posted double-digit increases, led by a 23.2 percent gain in Phoenix. Prices rose 17.5 percent in San Francisco and 15.3 percent in Las Vegas, one of the nation’s hardest hit markets during the crisis.

WASHINGTON – Americans are less confident in the economy than they were last month as massive government spending cuts have stoked economic uncertainty. The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group, said its reading of confidence fell in March after rebounding last month. The index is closely watched by economists because it makes a monthly gauge of how Americans are feeling about their jobs, incomes and other bread-and-butter issues. That’s important because consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The March confidence index fell to 59.7 from a revised reading of 68 in February. That’s also below the 68.7 reading that analysts polled by research firm FactSet expected.

WASHINGTON – Sales of new homes fell in February after climbing to the highest level in more than four years in January. Sales of new homes dropped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 411,000 in February, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. That is a decline of 4.6 percent from the January level of 431,000, which had been the strongest sales pace since September 2008. The decline in February still left sales 12.3 percent higher than a year ago. Prices rose in 11 of 20 cities on a month-over-month basis. The monthly numbers are not seasonally adjusted and reflect the slower winter buying period. The S&P/Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a threemonth moving average. The January figures are the latest available.

international sales growth, particularly in Asia.” Torque Capital invests primarily in small and lower-middle market manufacturing businesses, according to its website. Brake Parts Inc., headquartered at 4400 Prime Parkway in McHenry, has about 5,400 employees worldwide, including about 525 in McHenry, said Stauffer. Parent company Affinia Group Holdings, of Ann Arbor, Mich., spun off Brake Parts Inc. to shareholders in November 2012. Brake Parts Inc. recently restructured its manufacturing operations, shifting production to low-cost

• BRAKE PARTS INC. Continued from page E1 Torque Capital Group said it wants to see Brake Parts Inc. increase global sales. “Torque and our investors were particularly attracted to BPI’s strong management team and their leading market position in the North American brake parts aftermarket,” Joseph Parzick, managing partner of Torque Capital Group, said in a press release. “We are excited by the prospect of leveraging the Raybestos brand of brake products to drive

Home prices nationwide are still 29 percent below their peak reached at the height of the housing bubble in August 2006. They are only back to where they were in August 2003. Still, steady price increases should help make the housing recovery sustainable and add to economic growth. Higher home prices encourage more people to buy before prices rise further. “Over time, persistently rising

house prices also boost household wealth, make lenders more willing to lend because the asset they’re underwriting is appreciating, and ease pressure on local government budgets that get revenue from property taxes,” Jonathan Basile, director of economics at Credit Suisse, wrote in a research note. Other recent reports have shown a strengthening recovery in housing, helped by near-record-low mortgage rates. Construction of single-family homes rose in February at the fastest pace in 4½ years. Sales of previously owned homes rose last month to their fastest pace in more than three years. More Americans are putting their houses on the market, suggesting they believe the housing market will continue to strengthen.

countries. It also has invested in new manufacturing equipment and processes to make quality products more efficiently. The company said it remains committed research, development and testing of its products to make sure they are better than the original equipment they replace. “We are in one of the most dynamic categories in the global automotive aftermarket,” Overbeeke said. “We are dedicated to continuous improvement in everything we do, each and every day in order to meet the demands of our highly valued customers.”

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Douglas Horton was a Protestant minister and academic who said, “Good ideas are a dime a dozen; bad ones are free.” Let’s see if you have a penny’s worth in this sixno-trump contract. West leads the club 10. What should South do? I am still an ardent supporter of old-fashioned responses to a two-club opening. By giving an immediate positive response (two no-trump to show a balanced hand with eight or more points), the opener knows it’s a slam deal. If responder starts with two diamonds, opener will be worried that his partner has no useful cards. North’s four-club rebid is Gerber, asking for aces. (This convention should be employed only if partner’s last bid was one no-trump or two no-trump.) South has nine top tricks: two spades, three hearts and four clubs. Obviously, he must establish dummy’s diamond suit. If the missing cards are splitting 2-2 or 3-1, that will be easy; but what if a defender has all four diamonds?

If it is East, declarer has no chance. But if it is West, South can survive if he is careful with his entries. He should take the irst trick on the board and lead the diamond king. West might as well take the trick and play another club. Declarer runs that to his hand and leads a diamond, capturing West’s nine with dummy’s jack. South returns to his hand with a spade, takes a diamond inesse, and claims. Note that if declarer wins the irst trick in his hand and plays a diamond to the jack, he can no longer make the contract.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - By adopting the adage “Waste not, want not,” by this time next year you could find yourself in an exceptionally secure financial position, one that you never thought possible. Try it and see for yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You shouldn’t expect others to act in a reasonable manner when you behave otherwise. Try to handle things with logic, not emotions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The only sure way to achieve success is to roll up your sleeves and do everything yourself. Depending on others to get things done might produce mediocre results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It behooves you to be democratic and bow to the will of the majority. If you’re too demanding, you can expect some serious trouble to arise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trying to bluff your way through a serious assignment isn’t likely to work. To be on the safe side, play it straight and get help if you need to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be extremely careful that you don’t get hot under the collar should a discussion get intense. There’s nothing to gain from losing your cool. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What works for someone else won’t necessarily do so for you, especially when it comes to your financial affairs. Do what is best suited for your situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Before getting angry, consider the source of unpleasant information being relayed to you. Use collected thinking to soothe your feelings and subdue your response. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be extra safetyconscious when performing any kind of distasteful task. If you lose your patience and get careless, you’ll create needless problems. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Do what you can to avoid a group that includes an individual whom you dislike. If you’re more impatient than usual, a confrontation could erupt. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Usually your sense of humor is in good taste, but today could be an exception. Chances are, if you’re not careful, you could say or act in a manner that others find unsavory. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Watch your temper and don’t blow things out of proportion. You could create problems for some innocent people. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Regardless how rosy a financial presentation appears, it would be best to check things out for yourself before investing in it. It could be all talk and no substance.
