Ballot asks for tax to aid disabled Voters to decide April 9 on creation of ‘377 board’ to distribute funding within county

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com McHenry County voters will be asked April 9 to create a new taxing body to help the developmentally disabled.

The referendum, if approved, would create a developmental disabilities board, also known as a “377 board,”

that would levy a property tax to disburse to social service agencies that work with people with such disabilities.

The following is a guide to why this question is on the ballot, and what will happen if voters approve it.

What does this mean?

The referendum, if approved, would create an

advisory board and a corresponding property tax. Like the Mental Health Board, the McHenry County Board would be responsible for appointing members and collecting the tax for the new body to distribute. This new board would be independent of and separate from the Mental Health Board. Supporters

said the board would consist of three to five people.

The name “377 board” comes from the numerical identifier of the act that created such entities – mental health boards in Illinois are commonly called “708 boards” for a similar reason.

Fourteen other Illinois counties have 377 boards.

How much will this cost me?

The proposed board is asking for 10 cents per $100 in assessed valuation, or about $60 annually, for the owner of a $200,000 home who takes the homestead exemption.

The law sets 10 cents as the maximum tax rate that such

LOCAL CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE EASTER

A message of perseverance

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has been mediating labor and business disputes over a Senate immigration bill.

What’s next With deal in place, legislators are expected to unveil immigration reform April 8

WASHINGTON – Big business and labor have struck a deal on a new low-skilled worker program, removing the biggest hurdle to completion of sweeping immigration legislation allowing 11 million illegal immigrants eventual U.S. citizenship, a person with knowledge of the talks said Saturday.

The agreement was reached in a phone call late Friday night with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, U.S. Chamber of Commerce head Tom Donohue, and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who’s been mediating the dispute.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement, said the deal resolves disagreements over wages for the new workers and which industries would be included.

Those disputes had led talks to break down a week ago, throwing into doubt whether Schumer and seven other senators crafting a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill would be able to complete their work as planned.

The deal must still be signed off on by the other senators working with Schumer, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida, but that’s expected to happen. With the agreement in place, the senators are expected to unveil their legislation the week of April 8.

Their measure would secure the border, crack down

Story of Jesus’ resurrection caps Holy Week at area churches

Christian parishioners throughout McHenry County will flock today to Easter Sunday services and hear the most important story of their faith – how Jesus Christ died for the world, was resurrected and ascended into heaven.

But many area clergy members have the challenging task of taking that monumental story and tying

it to a message profound enough to resonate with believers far after they have finished that Easter ham later tonight.

For the Rev. Stephen St. Jules, Jesus’ resurrection serves as a reminder that God’s ubiquitous presence can give people fulfillment during empty times.

He plans to tell churchgoers at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Cary that the angel’s message to the women who discov-

ered Jesus’ empty tomb on Easter is about Christ’s ability to guide people even after his death.

“We find empty tombs in our lives where God has entered, whether through illness, healing, relationships and times where we feel a dead end,” St. Jules said.

“That tomb is empty, and through help, we have new life.”

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

Columnist returns to stage Humuhumunukunukuapua’a.

Believe it or not, that 21-letter monstrosity that reads and sounds more like gibberish is, in fact, an actual word.

Also known as the wedge-tail triggerfish, the humuhumu (abbreviated for my sanity) is the state fish of Hawaii.

It’s also the word that got me serenaded off the stage of the Woodstock Opera House last weekend by someone I thought for a moment might have been the reincarnation of John Belushi. (I’ll explain in a moment.)

As I wrote in this space several weeks ago, I made my grand reappearance on the stage for the first time in, well, about 36 years as a guest audience speller in the musical-comedy “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” As the title suggests, the play centers on a fictional spelling bee and its unusual cast of characters. It was produced and performed by the nonprofit TownSquare Players, McHenry County’s oldest active theater troupe.

Paul Lockwood, the troupe’s president and the play’s co-producer, invited me to be one of four audience members who joined the ensemble cast on stage for last Sunday’s performance. That’s one of the fun and unique things about this particular play – the fact that members of the audience participate to a small degree in each performance. That means that each show is a little different from the others because the guest spellers change each time.

In between extremely funny comedy skits and musical numbers that offer a glimpse into the psyche of the main characters, an actual spelling bee occurs.

In order for the play to reach its climax, the audience spellers have to be eliminated from the bee so the pros can finish their job.

That leads me to “humuhumu.”

Early in the bee, I and the other audience members were tossed a few softballs. “Cow” was one of the words a fellow audience speller was given.

I correctly spelled “atheist” and two others before it was time for me to exit stage left.

That’s when I was asked to spell “humuhumunukunukuapua’a.”

As I stood in front of a near-capacity audience at the Opera House, I was certain that the word was made up just for this particular play as a way to get me off the stage. I laughed a little and mum-

29% jelly beans

bled a few incoherent letters before the bell rang, signaling that I spelled it incorrectly.

Well, no kidding.

That’s when John Belushi – actor Jimmy Lundstrom actually, playing an hysterical but not-so-comforting comfort counselor, who during my stage fright looked a lot like a gruff Belushi – sang the “Goodbye” song to me as my two children, in the audience with my wife, covered their faces in agonized, embarrassed horror.

Poor kids.

I got to enjoy the rest of the show from the audience with my family – and we enjoyed it tremendously. It was after the performance that my wife informed me that “humuhumu” is an actual word.

What do you know?

In addition to Lundstrom, I want to recognize the other talented actors who made this nine-performance run so entertaining. They are: • Carrie MacDonald, who played Rona Lisa Peretti, a former bee champion and moderator of this bee.

• Joel Bennett, who played Chip Tolentino, a Boy Scout and defending champion.

• Dayna Palya, who played Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre, the youngest speller who has two fathers.

• Daniel Rosenfield, who played Leaf Coneybear, who makes it to the county bee only because the top two finishers of his district’s bee had scheduling conflicts.

• Scott Bussert, who played William Barfee (he pronounces it Barfay), who uses his magic foot to help him spell words correctly.

• Jessica Buehler, who played Olive Ostrovsky, a newcomer to the bee whose parents are too busy to make it to the competition.

• Melina Rey, who played Marcy Park, who recently moved to Putnam County from Virginia, and who placed ninth in last year’s nationals.

• Tim Vance, who played Vice Principal Doug Panch, a returning judge who stepped away from the bee five years earlier after an unfortunate “incident.”

By JERI CLAUSING The Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. – For more than a decade, he packed and repacked his treasure chest, sprinkling in gold dust and adding hundreds of rare gold coins and gold nuggets. Pre-Columbian animal figures went in, along with prehistoric “mirrors” of hammered gold, ancient Chinese faces carved from jade and antique jewelry with rubies and emeralds.

Forrest Fenn was creating a bounty, and the art and antiquities dealer says his goal was to make sure it was “valuable enough to entice searchers and desirable enough visibly to strike awe.”

Occasionally, he would test that premise, pulling out the chest and asking his friends to open the lid.

“Mostly, when they took the first look,” he says, “they

started laughing,” hardly able to grasp his amazing plan.

Was Fenn really going to give this glistening treasure trove away?

Three years ago, he lay two of his most beloved pieces of jewelry in the chest: a turquoise bracelet and a Tairona and Sinu Indian necklace adorned with exotic jewels.

At the bottom Forrest of the chest, Fenn in an olive jar, he placed a detailed autobiography, printed so small a reader will need a magnifying glass. After that, he says, he carted the chest of loot, now weighing more than 40 pounds, into the mountains somewhere north of Santa Fe and left it there.

Next, Fenn self-published a memoir, “The Thrill of the

There certainly seems to be no shortage of believers, including Doug Preston, whose novel “The Codex” about a notorious treasure hunter and tomb robber who buries himself and his treasure as a final challenge to his three sons, is loosely based on Fenn’s story.

“I’ve seen the treasure. I’ve handled it. He has had it for almost as long as I’ve known him. It’s real. And I can tell you that it is no longer in his vault,” says Preston.

“I am 100 percent sure that he really did go out and hide this thing. I am actually surprised that anyone who knows him would think he was blowing hot air. It is just not his personality. He is not a tricky, conspiratorial, slick or dishonest person at all.”

Fenn says his main goal is to get people, particularly children, away from their texting devices and looking for adventure outdoors.

Chase,” distilling the autobiography and, intriguingly, including a poem that he says offers clues to lead some clever – or lucky – treasure hunter to the bounty.

It wasn’t long before word of the hidden trove got out, and the publicity has caused a mini-gold rush in northern New Mexico.

But it has also set off a debate: Has Fenn truly hidden the treasure chest or was this, for the idiosyncratic, publicity-loving 82-year-old who loves to tell tales, just another way to have fun, a great caper to bolster his legacy?

One friend, Michael McGarrity, an author and former Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputy, acknowledges it could be “a private joke,” though he believes “Forrest has certainly buried something.” If it was the treasure he saw, well, “it really is quite an astonishing sight to see.”

Inspector general looks into Ill. grant The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn’s inspector general is investigating an influential Chicago organization’s use of a $98 million state grant.

The Chicago Sun Times reported Saturday that the office asked the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to produce documents related to the United Neighborhood Organization grant. UNO received the funds to build and renovate charter schools.

The Feb. 14 letter states the Office of the Executive Inspector General “is conducting an official investigation.”

It was issued 10 days after the Sun Times reported that UNO gave contracts worth millions of dollars to companies connected to the organization’s top officials.

In a statement issued Friday, UNO said the organization “recognizes the need to update and improve its internal procurement process to match our rapid growth within the last few years.”

“We have said we can do better, which is why former [federal] Judge Wayne An-

dersen is conducting an independent analysis of UNO’s current policies which will outline a comprehensive set of policies that will modernize our procedures. UNO will announce our new policies in the near future.”

UNO is a Latino organization that operates about a dozen charter schools and provides other services to Hispanic children and their families. Its CEO is Juan Rangel, who was a co-chairman of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s campaign and who founded the Uno Charter School Network.

Rangel could not be reached for comment Saturday, and a message left at the UNO offices was not immediately returned. But he has said the 2009 grant was handled properly and companies that received contracts have proven themselves.

Among the Sun Times’ findings was a $1.5 million contract to D’Escoto Inc. for construction management of the state-funded projects.

The company is owned by the brother of Miguel d’Escoto, who was UNO’s senior vice president.

Ill. woman gets clemency in husband’s death

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – A woman who served 27 years of a life sentence for her husband’s murder – despite not being present when he was killed – was among 87 people granted clemency by Gov. Pat Quinn on Friday.

Peggy Jo Jackson left the Logan Correctional Center on Friday and headed to South Carolina, where she’ll live with her sister and mother and complete her parole, said Erica Nichols-Cook, an attorney

with the Illinois Innocence Project at the University of Illinois-Springfield. She called Quinn’s executive order “a victory for all innocent women that have suffered from serious domestic abuse.”

Jackson, 57, was in shock when she got the news, Nichols-Cook said.

“I think she was just so overwhelmed,” Nichols-Cook said. “She’d been waiting for this for a long time.”

Attorneys say Jackson’s husband physically and sexually abused her for years. After a week of particularly horrific

TI H D R! 0T E IT FE IL 3 M F LI O PR A S D N E

abuse in 1986, Jackson’s brother confronted her husband, William Jackson, at the couple’s farmhouse in a rural area near Mount Vernon in southern Illinois.

Though witnesses testified Peggy Jo Jackson had left the home with her children before the killing, she was convicted along with her brother the following year.

According to Nichols-Cook, prosecutors argued the siblings had conspired to kill William Jackson and that Peggy Jo did nothing to stop it. A judge told her she’d taken the

life of “a good provider.”

Nichols-Cook said the case shows how far society has come in its understanding of domestic violence and the treatment of its victims.

“If this case was tried today, she would never have been convicted,” she said.

The Illinois Innocence Project has been working on Jackson’s case for four years, and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board heard it in October.

Quinn commuted Jackson’s sentence to time served.

She also was granted a request to serve her parole out of state.

ST. LOUIS – A man accused of gunning down an Illinois pastor mid-sermon during a 2009 church service remains mentally unfit to stand trial, an appeals court ruled in pressing the case closer to being decided by a judge, not a jury.

But the Mount Vernon-based 5th District Appellate Court on Friday reversed a judge’s ruling that a long-sought psychological evaluation of Terry Sedlacek by a prosecution-chosen doctor be audiotaped. The doctor has balked at such an examination if it’s to be recorded.

Sedlacek, 31, has been confined to mental health treatment in Alton, Ill., since he was found incompetent to stand trial months after prosecutors say he strolled into First Baptist Church in Maryville and confronted the Rev. Fred Winters, by all accounts a stranger. Sedlacek has suffered bouts of erratic behavior his family has attributed to tick-borne Lyme disease.

The three-judge appellate panel, in its unanimous ruling, ordered that such the testing be limited to assessing Sedlacek’s sanity only at the time of the shooting. As soon as that testing is completed, the appeals court said, Madison County Circuit Judge Richard Tognarelli should hold a discharge hearing that could result in Sedlacek being set free, ordered to stay in mental-health confinement or sent to prison.

“A discharge hearing is basically like a trial on the facts – was it murder?” Sedlacek’s public defender, John

Rekowski, told The Associated Press on Saturday. “I am hopeful [the case] will be resolved by the end of the year.”

A not guilty plea was entered for Sedlacek after he tried during an early court appearance to plead guilty to first-degree murder and aggravated battery charges.

Rekowski has said he would pursue a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity.

Stephanee Smith, a spokeswoman for Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Gibbons, said Saturday in an email to the AP that prosecutors are reviewing the appellate decision. Prosecutors declined to comment further, pending discussions with the victim’s family, she said.

Authorities have said that on March 8, 2009, Sedlacek drove his Jeep to the 1,500-member church from his home in nearby Troy, about 25 miles northeast of St. Louis, bringing with him a .45-caliber handgun and enough bullets to kill 30 people.

Witnesses said Sedlacek’s eyes were fixed on the 45-year-old preacher as he calmly walked down the center aisle toward the altar.

The small pieces of paper, looking like confetti, that rained from the pastor’s Bible after the first shot made some of the 150 onlookers think at first it was a skit.

Sedlacek fired three more times, with one bullet going through the pastor’s heart as Winters tried to run, authorities said.

After Sedlacek’s gun jammed, he pulled out a knife but was wrestled down by two congregants, police said.

All three were wounded.

Veterans fight changes to disability payments

By KEVIN FREKING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Veterans groups are rallying to fight any proposal to change disability payments as the federal government attempts to address its long-term debt problem. They say they’ve sacrificed already.

Government benefits are adjusted according to inflation, and President Barack Obama has endorsed using a slightly different measure of inflation to calculate Social Security benefits. Benefits would still grow but at a slower rate.

Advocates for the nation’s 22 million veterans fear that the alternative inflation measure would also apply to disability payments to nearly 4 million veterans as well as pension payments for an additional 500,000 low-income veterans and surviving families.

“I think veterans have already paid their fair share to support this nation,” said the American Legion’s Louis Celli. “They’ve paid it in lower wages while serving, they’ve paid it through their wounds and sacrifices on the battlefield and they’re paying it now as they try to recover from those wounds.”

At a glance Under the current inflation update, monthly disability and pension payments increased 1.7 percent this year. Under chained CPI, those payments would have increased 1.4 percent.

Economists generally agree that projected longterm debt increases stemming largely from the growth in federal health care programs pose a threat to the country’s economic competitiveness.

Addressing the threat means difficult decisions for lawmakers and pain for many constituents in the decades ahead.

But the veterans’ groups

point out that their members bore the burden of a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the past month, they’ve held news conferences on Capitol Hill and raised the issue in meetings with lawmakers and their staffs. They’ll be closely watching the unveiling of the president’s budget next month to see whether he continues to recommend the change.

Obama and others support changing the benefit calculations to a variation of the Consumer Price Index, a measure called “chained CPI.” The conventional CPI measures changes in retail prices of a constant marketbasket of goods and services. Chained CPI considers changes in the quantity of goods purchased as well as the prices of those goods. If the price of steak goes up, for example, many consumers will buy more chicken, a cheaper alternative to steak, rather than buying less steak or going without meat.

Supporters argue that

Okla. doctor’s patients get tested

Man charged with killing grandfather

By JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS The Associated Press TULSA, Okla. – About 150 to 200 patients of a Tulsa oral surgeon accused of unsanitary practices queued outside a health clinic Saturday, hoping to discover whether they had been exposed to hepatitis or the virus that causes AIDS. Letters began going out Friday to 7,000 patients who had seen Dr. W. Scott Harrington during the past six years, warning them that poor hygiene at his clinics created a public health hazard. The one-page letter said how and where to seek treatment but couldn’t explain why Harrington’s allegedly unsafe practices went on for so long.

Testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and the virus that causes AIDS began at 10 a.m.

Saturday, but many arrived early and stood through torrential downpours.

Kari Childress, 38, showed up at the Tulsa Health Department North Regional Health and Wellness Center at 8:30 a.m., mainly because she was nervous.

“I just hope I don’t have anything,” said Childress, who had a tooth extracted at one of Harrington’s two clinics five months ago. “You trust and believe in doctors to follow the rules, and that’s the scariest part.”

Inspectors found a number of problems at the doctor’s clinics in Tulsa and suburban Owasso, according to the state Dentistry Board, which filed a 17-count complaint against Harrington pending an April 19 license revocation hearing. According to the complaint, needles were reinserted into drug vials after being used on patients, expired drugs were found in a medicine cabinet and dental assistants, rather than the doctor, administered sedatives to patients.

chained CPI is a truer indication of inflation because it measures changes in consumer behavior. It also tends to be less than the conventional CPI, which would impact how cost-of-living raises are computed.

The Congressional Budget Office projects that moving to chained CPI would trim the deficit by nearly $340 billion over the next decade. About two-thirds of the deficit closing would come from less spending and the other third would come from additional revenue because of adjustments that tax brackets would undergo.

Republican governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley speaks at the 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on March 15 in National Harbor, Md.

The South: A near-solid block against ‘Obamacare’

By BILL BARROW The Associated Press ATLANTA – As more Republicans give in to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, an opposition bloc remains across the South, including from governors who lead some of the nation’s poorest and unhealthiest states.

“Not in South Carolina,” Gov. Nikki Haley declared at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference. “We will not expand Medicaid on President Obama’s watch.

We will not expand Medicaid ever.”

Widening Medicaid insurance rolls, a joint federal-state program for low-income Americans, is an anchor of the law Obama signed in 2010.

But states get to decide whether to take the deal, and from Virginia to Texas – a region encompassing the old Confederacy and Civil War border states – Florida’s Rick Scott is the only Republican governor to endorse expansion, and he faces opposition from his GOP colleagues in the legislature.

Tennessee’s Bill Haslam, the Deep South’s last governor to take a side, added his name to the opposition on Wednesday.

“It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party.”

Kris Crawford South Carolina legislator

Haley offers the common explanation, saying expansion will “bust our budgets.”

But the policy reality is more complicated. The hospital industry and other advocacy groups continue to tell GOP governors that expansion would be a good arrangement, and there are signs that some Republicans are trying to find ways to expand insurance coverage under the law.

Haslam told Tennessee lawmakers that he’d rather use any new money to subsidize private insurance. That’s actually the approach of another anchor of Obama’s law: insurance exchanges where Americans can buy private policies with premium subsidies from taxpayers.

Yet for now, governors’ rejection of Medicaid expan-

sion will leave large swaths of Americans without coverage because they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid as it exists but not enough to get the subsidies to buy insurance in the exchanges.

“Many of the citizens who would benefit the most from this live in the reddest of states with the most intense opposition,” said Drew Altman, president of the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation.

A South Carolina legislator put it bluntly earlier this year. State Rep. Kris Crawford told a business journal that he supports expansion, but said electoral math is the trump card. “It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party,” he said.

At the Tennessee Hospital Association, president Craig Becker has spent months trying to break through that barrier as he travels to civic and business groups across Tennessee. “It’s really hard for some of them to separate something that has the name ‘Obamacare’ on it from what’s going to be best for the state,” he said.

CHICAGO – A 19-year-old Chicago man is being held without bail on charges he killed his grandfather while the 72-year-old waited for a ride to dialysis treatment.

WBBM television reports William D. Strickland is charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.

Police say the suspect lived with his grandfather, who also was named William Strickland.

The elder Strickland was shot several times while he waited outside his South Side Chicago home around 3:30 a.m. March 2.

His wallet also was stolen.

Lesley Strickland is the victim’s daughter and the mother of the man now charged with the shooting.

She said at the time that she believed the shooter knew her father’s habits, including what time he would be leaving the house.

Police are still looking for a second suspect.

Judge OKs suburban Chicago Islamic center NAPERVILLE – A federal judge has reversed a county board’s decision to prevent an Islamic education facility from operating in suburban Chicago.

In a ruling Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer says she expects the DuPage County Board to approve a request from the Irshad Learning Center.

The board denied a conditional-use permit for the facility in 2010, after nearly two years of debate.

Board members said they were concerned about the center operating in a residential neighborhood.

Officials from Irshad filed a federal lawsuit, arguing the board violated their Constitutional right to the free practice of religion.

Pallmeyer concludes there was no direct evidence of deliberate discrimination.

But she says there’s no

evidence Irshad would have any more impact than other religious institutions already operating in residential areas.

Chicago festival to feature ‘fire spectacle’ CHICAGO – The city’s newest festival will feature a “fire spectacle,” acrobatics, live music and a procession of floating, illuminated sculptures on the Chicago River.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Friday the inaugural Great Chicago Fire Festival will be held in October 2014.

It will be presented by the city in partnership with Redmoon, a large-scale spectacle and public art group.

Emanuel says the festival will be a unique event “worthy of our world-class city.”

He also says the event will bring more people to the Chicago River, which he calls “one of the city’s greatest natural assets.”

The mayor has made developing the riverfront one of his key goals.

Retired NYC detective defends record in case NEW YORK – The release of a one-time murder convict from prison has put a spotlight on the New York City detective who arrested him in 1990.

David Ranta was freed earlier this month after a review of his case found flaws in the evidence against him.

One witness came forward to say Detective Louis Scarcella coached him to pick Ranta out of a police lineup.

Scarcella tells The Associated Press the allegation is absolutely false.

He says he stands by his work on the case.

The 61-year-old retired detective says Ranta confessed to him that he was at the scene of the fatal shooting of a prominent rabbi.

Conservationists seek to save Peter Cottontail from extinction

Navy IDs SEAL killed in parachuting accident TUCSON, Ariz. – Brett D. Shadle always had wanted to be a member of the Navy’s most elite special forces unit. A year after enlisting, he became a highly decorated member of the Navy’s famed SEAL Team 6.

U.S. military officials confirmed Saturday that Shadle, a 31-year-old special warfare operator chief, died Thursday when he and another SEAL collided in midair during a parachute training exercise over Arizona.

By STEPHEN KALIN The Associated Press The New England cottontail was once so common that Massachusetts author Thornton Burgess adapted one named Peter for the children’s stories he penned a century ago. But the critter that inspired “The Adventures of Peter Cottontail” and the enduring song that came later faces an uncertain future. Its natural habitat is disappearing, and without intervention, it could be unhappy trails for the once-bountiful bunny.

Conservationists hope a new program to restore shrub lands across the Northeast and captive breeding efforts will help ensure the New England cottontail sticks around for many Easters to come.

“We’re making headway, putting habitat on the ground in some really key places,”

This undated photo provided by New Hampshire Fish and Game Department shows a New England cottontail rabbit. said Anthony Tur, an endangered species specialist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “It’s encouraging.”

New England cottontails were abundant a century ago, thriving in an environment of shrubs, saplings, weeds and vines known as young forest. But in an un-

common turn of events, it is declining human activity to blame for its lost habitat – not urban sprawl. As neglected agricultural lands reverted back to forest and those forests matured, the population of New England cottontails thinned.

More than 80 percent of their habitat disappeared over the past 50 years, according to the nonprofit Wildlife Management Institute.

And now conservationists are trying to prevent the New England cottontail from appearing on the endangered species list, a designation that would require a more urgent – and costly – response that could restrict land use and hunting. The Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Resources Conservation Service are working with landowners and zoos to restore natural habitat and use captive breeding to rebuild the population.

Wyo. power plant project stalls 3 dozen indicted After 17 years, longtime proponents now skeptical Two Elk worth it

By MEAD GRUVER The Associated Press WRIGHT, Wyo. – In Wyoming, folks call it the “No Elk” plant, an $800 million project that – once finished – was meant to supply coalfired power to 100,000 homes and support dozens of fulltime jobs on the rolling prairie of northeast Wyoming.

Megawatts from the Two Elk Energy Park originally were supposed to begin flowing back when Bill Clinton was president. Instead, a series of hang-ups, including the global economic meltdown and difficulty finding an investor willing to share the cost, have kept Two Elk at a virtual standstill. All that’s been built on the rolling northeast Wyoming prairie, a stone’s throw from some of the world’s biggest coal mines, is a metal storage building and part of the plant’s foundation.

The power plant has received substantial local, state and federal government support: Almost half a billion dollars in tax-exempt municipal bonds, none of it spent yet, and more recently, $10 million in U.S. Department of Energy grants.

Now, Two Elk is up for a state permit extension – its seventh in 16 years – and even some former proponents are growing skeptical.

“It’s kind of a running joke,” said Campbell County Commission Chairman Dan Coolidge. “On its face, it seems like a great idea. But it just never materialized.”

On one hand, Two Elk shows just how difficult arranging financing and securing permits to build a power plant – especially one involving coal – can be these days.

On the other, the project shows just how accommodating Wyoming – which ranks second only to Texas in pro-

AP photo

The site of the Two Elk Energy Park, a northeast Wyoming power plant project that has been delayed almost since its inception in 1996, is seen Tuesday near Wright, Wyo. ducing the nation’s raw energy – can be with a power plant idea.

“The reason this thing seems so attractive is that we’ve had the idea that, you know, wouldn’t it be great if we could maximize the value of these resources here in the state, rather than shipping them off to power plants in other places where they generate jobs in other communities?” said Dan Neal with the Equality State Policy Center, a state government watchdog group.

But Wyoming needs to wise up and not waste time and resources with boggeddown projects, Neal said.

“At some point, we’ve got to be able to read the market’s tea leaves just like everybody else does. And if these guys can’t get off the ground, then the state’s got to move on,” he said. =Two Elk would be one of the more unusual large U.S. power plants. The 300-megawatt plant would burn a combination of low-grade coal from the nation’s largest coal mines and timber from vast

expanses of Rocky Mountain forests killed by a massive beetle infestation.

Two Elk first was proposed in 1996 and originally was supposed to begin generating electricity by the end of 1999.

At first, the plant’s sole fuel source was to be low-grade coal from St. Louis-based Arch Coal Inc.’s vast Black Thunder Mine, the biggest of a dozen big Powder River Basin mines that supply about 40 percent of the nation’s coal.

Using “waste coal” that otherwise just gets reburied at the mine would save money for the company behind the Two Elk project — Greenwood Village, Colo.-based North American Power Group, which also has four small coal- and wood-fired power plants in California.

It also would save on transportation compared with what Midwestern utilities spend to ship Powder River Basin coal hundreds of miles by train.

State and local officials liked the idea and did their best to help.

Over a decade, two Wyo-

ming governors authorized Campbell County to issue a total of $445 million in tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds for the project.

The form of municipal bonds helps private-sector projects secure bank financing.

Work on Two Elk progressed slowly, meanwhile, and at a cost to taxpayers.

From 2005 to 2006, northeast Wyoming towns and counties got $10 million in state industrial impact grants they spent to bolster infrastructure and beef up local government services ahead of an influx of 700 construction workers and their families.

The invasion didn’t happen then and hasn’t to date.

By 2007, the project cost had swelled from $417 million in 2001 to $1.3 billion in 2007.

More than ever, the project needed a partner to make up the difference.

“Any time you’re talking about trying to invest $700 or $800 million, it’s not easy,” said Brad Enzi, vice president and Two Elk project leader for North American Power Group Ltd. “It’s subject to a lot of things. It’s subject to the power market. It’s subject to the overall economic condition of our country.”

Enzi said he’s been talking with a couple prospects to share in the current estimated cost of $800 million, a slightly lower cost than six years ago but still nearly double the initial estimates. A design change a couple years ago from burning only coal to also burning beetle-killed timber — earning Two Elk precertification from California as a renewable energy source for that state — has not yielded any takers, however.

“It feels like it’s close, sometimes, and then you might be further apart than you thought,” he said. “And then other times you’re closer than you thought.”

in Atlanta school cheating scandal

By KATE BRUMBACK The Associated Press ATLANTA – Juwanna Guffie was sitting in her fifthgrade classroom taking a standardized test when, authorities say, the teacher came around offering information and asking the students to rewrite their answers. Juwanna rejected the help.

“I don’t want your answers, I want to take my own test,” Juwanna told her teacher, according to Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard.

On Friday, Juwanna – now 14 – watched as Fulton County prosecutors announced that a grand jury had indicted the Atlanta Public Schools’ ex-superintendent and nearly three dozen other former administrators, teachers, principals and other educators of charges arising from a standardized test cheating scandal that rocked the system.

Former Superintendent Beverly Hall faces charges including conspiracy, making false statements and theft because prosecutors said some of the bonuses she received were tied to falsified scores.

Hall retired just days before the findings of a state probe were released in mid-2011. A nationally known educator who was named Superintendent of the Year in 2009, Hall has long denied knowing about the cheating or ordering it.

During a news conference Friday, Howard highlighted the case of Juwanna and another student, saying they demonstrated “the plight of many children” in the Atlanta school system.

Their stories were among many that investigators

The allegations date back to 2005. In addition to Hall, 34 other former school system employees were indicted.

Four were high-level administrators, six were principals, two were assistant principals, six were testing coordinators and 14 were teachers. A school improvement specialist and a school secretary were also indicted.

Howard didn’t directly answer a question about whether prosecutors believe Hall led the conspiracy.

“What we’re saying is, is that without her, this conspiracy could not have taken place, particularly in the degree that it took place. Because as we know, this took place in 58 of the Atlanta Public Schools. And it would not have taken place if her actions had not made that possible,” the prosecutor said.

Pope presides over Easter Vigil service at St. Peter’s

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis celebrated a trimmed back Easter Vigil service Saturday after having reached out to Muslims and women during a Holy Week in which he began to put his mark on the Catholic Church.

Francis processed into a darkened and silent St. Peter’s Basilica at the start of the service, in which the faithful recall the period between Christ’s crucifixion on Good Friday and resurrection on Easter Sunday.

One of the most dramatic moments of the Easter Vigil service that usually follows – when the pope would share the light of his candle with others until the entire basilica twinkled – was shortened this year as were some of the Old Testament readings.

The Vatican has said these provisions were in keeping with Francis’ aim to not have his Masses go on too long.

The Easter Vigil service under Benedict XVI would typically run nearly three hours.

The new pope has made clear

Pope Francis blesses a man as he leads the Easter vigil service Saturday in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. he prefers his Masses short and to the point: he was even caught checking his watch during his March 19 installation ceremony. Saturday was no different: The vigil ended

just shy of 2.5 hours.

A trimmed-back vigil was just one of the novelties of this Holy Week under an Argentine Jesuit pope who just two weeks ago stunned the world

by emerging from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica after his election with a simple “Brothers and sisters, good evening.”

He riled traditionalists but endeared himself to women

and liberals by washing and kissing the feet of two young girls during a Holy Thursday Mass at a juvenile detention center in Rome, when the rite usually calls for only men to participate. A day later, Francis reached out with friendship to “Muslim brothers and sisters” during a Good Friday procession dedicated to the suffering of Christians from terrorism, war and religious fanaticism in the Middle East.

In his homily Saturday, Francis kept his message simple and tied to the liturgical readings, recalling how Jesus’ disciples found his tomb empty a day after his death and were surprised and confused.

“Our daily problems and worries can wrap us up in ourselves, in sadness and bitterness, and that is where death is,” he said. “Let the risen Jesus enter your life, welcome him as a friend, with trust: he is life!”

He later baptized four men, part of the Easter Vigil ritual.

Just a few hours after the vigil ends, today Francis will celebrate Easter Mass and deliver his “Urbi et Orbi” speech, Latin for “To the city

N. Korea threatens South Korea with closing border factory

By SAM KIM The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea warned Seoul on Saturday that the Korean Peninsula had entered “a state of war” and threatened to shut down a border factory complex that’s the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation.

Analysts say a full-scale conflict is extremely unlikely, noting that the Korean Peninsula has remained in a technical state of war for 60 years. But the North’s continued threats toward Seoul and Washington, including a vow to launch a nuclear strike, have raised worries that a misjudgment between the sides could lead to a clash.

In Washington, the White House said Saturday that the United States is taking seriously the new threats by North Korea but also noted Pyongyang’s history of “bellicose rhetoric.”

North Korea’s threats are seen as efforts to provoke the new government in Seoul, led

by President Park Geun-hye, to change its policies toward Pyongyang, and to win diplomatic talks with Washington that could get it more aid.

North Korea’s moves are also seen as ways to build domestic unity as young leader Kim Jong Un strengthens his military credentials.

On Thursday, U.S. military officials revealed that two B-2 stealth bombers dropped dummy munitions on an uninhabited South Korean island as part of annual defense drills that

Pyongyang sees as rehearsals for invasion. Hours later, Kim ordered his generals to put rockets on standby and threatened to strike American targets if provoked.

North Korea said in a statement Saturday that it would deal with South Korea according to “wartime regulations” and would retaliate against any provocations by the United States and South Korea without notice.

“Now that the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK have entered into an actual military action, the inter-Korean relations have naturally entered the state of war,” said the statement, which was carried by Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency, referring to the North’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Provocations “will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war,” the statement said.

Hours after the statement, Pyongyang threatened to shut down the jointly run Kaesong industrial park, expressing anger over media reports suggesting the complex remained open because it was a source of hard currency for the impoverished North.

“If the puppet group seeks to tarnish the image of the DPRK even a bit, while speaking of the zone whose operation has been barely maintained, we will shut down the zone without mercy,” an identified spokesman for the North’s office controlling Kaesong said in comments carried by KCNA.

and the world.” Usually the pope also issues Easter greetings in dozens of languages.

In his two weeks as pope, Francis’ discomfort with speaking in any language other than Italian has become apparent. He has even shied away from speaking Spanish when the occasion would call for it, though the Vatican has said he has done so to avoid discriminating against other languages by favoring his native tongue.

Italian is the lingua franca of the Vatican and Francis has emphasized his role as bishop of Rome over that of pope of the universal church, making his use of Italian logical.

It’s not clear how Francis will handle the multilingual greetings today.

Typically, after the busy Easter week ceremonies, the pope would go to the papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo for a few days of vacation. Francis can’t do that since the previous pope, Benedict XVI, is currently living there in retirement.

The Vatican has said Francis would stay put in the Vatican.

U.S. hands over troubled area to Afghans

By KIMBERLY DOZIER The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan special forces took control of part of a troubled province bordering Kabul from U.S. troops on Saturday, ending a weeks-long dispute over abuse allegations that prompted Afghan President Hamid Karzai to order all American forces out of the area.

The handover highlighted the Karzai government’s struggle to assert its authority over security matters on an accelerated timetable ahead of the scheduled withdrawal

of most of coalition forces by December 2014.

The transfer of control in Nirkh district of Wardak province – a gateway and staging area for militant attacks on the capital – ends a rocky episode in the strained relationship between the U.S. and Karzai. The Afghan president had angrily insisted that U.S. forces leave Nirkh over the alleged torture, kidnapping and summary execution of militant suspects there – charges U.S. officials firmly denied.

“As we pledged, our forces have transitioned Nirkh district to Afghan national secu-

rity forces and they have now assumed full responsibility for security,” U.S. Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement. He said the rest of Wardak would transition “over time.”

Karzai has had longstanding unease with U.S. special operations forces, which he blames for causing civilian casualties, and the 21,000 members of the Afghan local police who work with them. He has complained bitterly and publicly that the local police are “militias” and believes

they are “outside his control,” according to his spokesman Aimal Faizi.

U.S. special operations forces will continue to visit the Afghan team in Nirkh, and work throughout the rest of the province, said Maj. Gen. Tony Thomas, the top U.S. special operations commander in Afghanistan, told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday.

“American special operations forces are integral in the defense of Wardak from now until the foreseeable future,” Thomas said in the interview at Camp Integrity, the special

Super savers in Bank of Cyprus to lose big Gov’t may take up to 60 percent

By MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS The Associated Press NICOSIA, Cyprus – Big depositors at Cyprus’ largest bank may be forced to accept losses of up to 60 percent, far more than initially estimated under the European rescue package to save the country from bankruptcy, officials said Saturday.

Deposits of more than $128,000 at the Bank of Cyprus will lose 37.5 percent in money that will be converted into bank shares, according to a central bank statement.

In a second raid on these accounts, depositors also could lose up to 22.5 percent more, depending on what experts determine is needed to prop up the bank’s reserves. The experts will have 90 days to figure that out.

The remaining 40 percent of big deposits at the Bank of Cyprus will be “temporarily frozen for liquidity reasons,” but continue to accrue existing levels of interest plus an-

The savings converted to bank shares would theoretically allow depositors to eventually recover their losses.

But the shares now hold little value and it’s uncertain when – if ever – the shares will regain a value equal to the depositors’ losses.

Emergency laws passed last week empower Cypriot authorities to take these actions. Cyprus’ Finance Minister Michalis Sarris said the

measures were taken to put the Bank of Cyprus on a solid footing.

“We suffered a serious blow without doubt ... but we now have a bank which is reformed and ready to assume its role in the Cypriot economy,” the state-run Cyprus News Agency quoting him as saying.

Analysts said Saturday that imposing bigger losses on Bank of Cyprus customers could further squeeze already crippled businesses as Cy-

prus tries to rebuild its banking sector in exchange for the international rescue package.

Sofronis Clerides, an economics professor at the University of Cyprus, said: “Most of the damage will be done to businesses which had their money in the bank” to pay suppliers and employees.

“There’s quite a difference between a 30 percent loss and a 60 percent loss.”

With businesses shrinking, Cyprus could be dragged down into an even deeper recession, he said.

Clerides accused some of the 17 European countries that use the euro of wanting to see the end of Cyprus as an international financial services center and to send the message that European taxpayers will no longer shoulder the burden of bailing out problem banks.

But German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble challenged that notion, insisting in an interview with the Bild daily published Saturday that “Cyprus is and remains a special, isolated case” and doesn’t point the way for future European rescue programs.

operations compound on the outskirts of Kabul.

The Afghan president had originally demanded the U.S. special operations forces pull out of the entire province, but he scaled down his sweeping demand to just Nirkh district after negotiations with Dunford and other U.S. officials.

U.S. officials feared Karzai was close to banning U.S. special operations teams altogether when he declared earlier this year, while standing next to President Barack Obama in Washington, that all American forces would be out of Afghan villages by

spring.

Karzai was eventually convinced to accept a more gradual transition for the country overall, just as he was with Wardak, with U.S. special operations forces leaving the villages sometime this summer.

“The last teams will go in this summer and from that point out, when we culminate [handover] an area, we’ll bring the teams out,” Thomas said.

“More importantly, we’re setting up ... training centers that are run by Afghans,” Thomas said. “We’re working ourselves out of a job.”

8WORLD BRIEFS Kenyan Supreme Court upholds election result NAIROBI, Kenya – Kenya’s Supreme Court on Saturday upheld the election of Uhuru Kenyatta as the country’s next president and the loser accepted that verdict, ending an election season that riveted the nation with fears of a repeat of the 2007-08 postelection violence.

Jubilant Kenyatta supporters flooded the streets of downtown Nairobi, honking horns, blowing plastic noisemakers and chanting. But supporters of defeated Prime Minister Raila Odinga angrily protested after the verdict and police fired tear gas at them outside the Supreme Court as well as in the lakeside city of Kisumu, Odinga’s hometown.

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo neighborhood BEIRUT – Syrian rebels pushed into a strategic neighborhood in the northern city of Aleppo after days of heavy clashes, seizing control of at least part of the hilltop district and killing a pro-government cleric captured

in the fighting, activists and state media said Saturday.

There were conflicting reports about the scale of the advance into the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood by rebel forces battling to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad. But the gains marked the biggest shift in the front lines in the embattled city in months.

Egypt issues arrest warrant for TV satirist CAIRO – Egypt’s state prosecutors ordered the arrest Saturday of a popular television satirist for allegedly insulting Islam and the country’s leader, in a move that government opponents say is aimed at silencing critics of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The arrest warrant for Bassem Youssef, who has come to be known as Egypt’s Jon Stewart, followed an order earlier this week by the country’s top prosecutor to arrest five prominent pro-democracy activists in what the opposition has characterized as a widening campaign against dissent.

In Pakistan underworld, a cop is said to be a king

Conflict threatening reform for Myanmar

By TODD PITMAN The Associated Press LAIZA, Myanmar – When Myanmar’s post-junta government took power two years ago vowing to bring democracy to one of the world’s most repressed nations, Da Shi Naw was under no illusion his own life would improve any time soon. But the 61-year-old farmer never dreamed it would actually get worse – a lot worse.

First, a 17-year cease-fire between the army and ethnic Kachin guerrillas relapsed into fighting that tore through his family’s fertile rice fields, forcing him to flee into the mountains on foot. Then, after a year in a packed displaced camp far from home, war edged close once more.

Government troops began pounding rebel positions near the Kachin stronghold of Laiza with artillery and airstrikes that shook the ground here until late January. The battles triggered such a panic, author-

ities took the extraordinary step of urging people to dig their own bomb shelters.

“We have nowhere left to run,” he told The Associated Press. “We have begun to lose hope.”

Two years into President Thein Sein’s historic term as Myanmar’s first civilian president in half a century, this Southeast Asian nation has moved closer to democratic rule than any other time since a 1962 army coup. Although few initially believed that Thein Sein, a former general, was sincere about reform when he took office on March 30, 2011, his administration has since orchestrated a topdown revolution that has stunned the world and given hope to millions of people, allowing freedoms unheard of just a few years ago.

Yet even as Myanmar basks in world praise and foreign investors rush in, some parts of the country have taken phenomenally tragic turns for

the worse – plagued by explosions of ethnic and sectarian violence so grave, the government has acknowledged they threaten the very process of reform itself.

Here in the north, where the army is still battling rebels of the Kachin Independence Army, residents do not speak of the country’s newfound freedoms. There is no talk of economic liberalization, of the end of censorship or the suspension of western sanctions.

There is no discussion, either, of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s rise as an elected lawmaker after nearly two decades under house arrest.

Here, the only subject is the tragic counter-narrative to progress, the story of a region where roads and bridges have been severed by fighting, where families have been separated and 100,000 people have been displaced.

“We feel our lives are going backward,” Da Shi Naw said.

“It has never been this bad.”

KARACHI, Pakistan – A corrupt, low-level cop with a healthy dose of street smarts rises to control hundreds of illegal gambling dens in Pakistan’s largest city. By doling out millions of dollars in illicit proceeds, he protects his empire and becomes one of the most powerful people in Karachi.

The allegations against Mohammed Waseem Ahmed – or Waseem “Beater” as he is more commonly known – emerged recently from surprise testimony by a top police commander before a crusading anti-crime Supreme Court judge. The story has given a rare and colorful glimpse into the vast underworld in Karachi, a chaotic metropolis of 18 million people on Pakistan’s southern coast.

The sprawling city has become notorious for violence, from gangland-style killings and kidnappings to militant bombings and sectarian slayings. Further worrying authorities have been signs the Pakistani Taliban are using the chaos to gain a greater foothold in the city.

For months, the Supreme Court’s Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry has been leading special hearings on Karachi’s crime, berating the city’s top police officers for failing to act. This past week, he demanded they move in to clean up so-called “no-go” areas – entire neighborhoods where police fear to tread – according to local press reports.

Further fueling the problem is rampant police corruption, undermining efforts to combat the city’s violent gangs and extremists. Among the public, the police nationwide are seen as the country’s

The allegations surrounding Ahmed further fuel questions about the overlap between Karachi’s underworld and its police forces. After the testimony to the Supreme Court earlier this year, police officials in Karachi provided The Associated Press with additional details over his reported rise.

The AP made repeated attempts to contact Ahmed, who has been removed from the force and fled to Dubai, but was not successful.

Ahmed came from a poor family in Karachi’s old city and joined the police force in the 1990s. He soon started working as a “beater,” a low-level thug who works for more senior cops to collect a cut from illegal activities in their area, such as gambling, prostitution and drug dealing, said half a dozen police officers who knew him personally at the time. They all spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

The heavyset 40-year-old

also attracted the attention of a local boss who controlled the largest concentration of illegal gambling dens in Karachi, located in the city’s rough and tumble Ghas Mandi area, where Ahmed worked, said the policemen and a local journalist. The two teamed up to expand their gambling empire to other parts of Karachi and surrounding Sindh province.

Gambling was not always illegal in Pakistan, a nation of 180 million people that gained independence from Britain in 1947 as a sanctuary for Muslims who did not believe they could thrive as part of what is now India, a majority Hindu state. Despite the religious undertones of Pakistan’s founding, the country’s major cities, such as Karachi and Lahore, were relatively liberal places in the first few decades after independence. But in 1977, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto banned gambling and alcohol for Muslims in an attempt to appease Islamic hard-liners. Drinking and gambling, which are forbidden in Islam, didn’t stop, but much of it was driven underground.

377 board only countywide referendum on April 9 ballot • BALLOT Continued from page A1 boards can collect.

Why am I being asked for a tax increase?

There are about 5,200 people in McHenry County who have a developmental disability.

Only 18 percent of them, or about 995 people, receive services, according to Options and Advocacy for McHenry County, which is spearheading the referendum effort.

Social service agencies statewide cannot keep up with local need, in great part because of state government’s backlog of unpaid bills to vendors providing such services.

The backlog now stands at $10 billion.

With all the ongoing questions regarding the Mental Health Board’s size and budget, what assurances do I have that a 377 board will keep it simple?

Supporters have stressed they intend to keep overhead as low as possible so tax dollars flow directly to the agencies that need them.

“We will commit these funds to services rather than overhead and buildings,” according to a statement on the website of the referendum drive, www.voteyesddb.com.

Where is the question on the ballot, and what does it say?

Referendums appear at the end of the ballot. This question reads: “Shall McHenry County levy an annual tax not to exceed .1% upon the equalized assessed value of all taxable property in the county for the purposes of providing facilities or services for the benefit of its residents who are intellectually disabled

or under a developmental disability and who are not eligible to participate in any program provided under Article 14 of the School Code, 105 ILCS 5/14. 1-1.01 et. seq, including contracting for those facilities or services with any privately or publicly operated entity that provides those facilities or services either in or out of the county?”

Speaking of those unpaid bills, didn’t Springfield raise our taxes to pay them?

Yes. State lawmakers in 2011 passed the largest income tax increase in state history – 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on businesses.

Supporters sold the tax increase as a way to pay down the bill backlog, which is now worse than it was before the increase.

So where is all that new money going?

Pensions.

Almost all of the revenue generated by the 2011 tax increase has been swallowed by the state’s ballooning public pension obligations, which are underfunded by at least $96.7 billion.

Pension payments are expected to take up about 20 percent of state revenues in the 2014 budget year that starts July 1. By comparison, pensions made up just 6 percent of general fund revenue spending in 2008.

What other referendums are on the ballot?

The 377 board referendum is the only countywide question.

Voters in Marengo and Wonder Lake will be asked whether they want to participate in electrical aggregation, and McHenry High School District 156 is asking voters for permission to borrow $2.2 million for building and technology improvements.

Easter is a ‘spring forward to live Christ’s life’ • EASTER Continued from page A1 The angel’s message to some of Jesus’ most ardent followers simply detailed how Jesus had risen into heaven and that the women and his disciples could meet him there.

The message and story of Jesus’ resurrection is a culminating point in the week for Christian followers. Holy Week, which includes observances on Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified and Easter, the day he rose from the dead, fulfills a promise made by God. It guarantees an afterlife for Christian believers and immortalizes Jesus’ message beyond his time on Earth. That everlasting presence can help people withstand the many challenges and tribulations they face, St. Jules said.

Likewise, the Rev. Charles Kittel will focus his Easter sermon on how the women who discovered Christ’s empty tomb realized that they needed to move past Jesus’ death and face the future.

“We have the bleakness of Good Friday and not understanding it, but then we see the new hope of the resurrection,”

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

During a reenactment of the last supper, the Rev. Jeff Borgerson plays the part of Jesus and washes the feet of his 12 disciples Thursday at the First Presbyterian Church of Harvard. said Kittel, who is pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Huntley. “The Easter event itself is a spring forward to live Christ’s life and know that we have new life in Christ.”

He has found that many people in and outside of his Huntley church often operate in tunnel vision, losing sight of

a future resolution in the face of present challenges. Faith in Jesus and his lasting presence can help people see past those difficulties, he said.

The Rev. Jeff Borgerson sees his followers at the First Presbyterian Church of Harvard also having difficulty moving past material distrac-

tions. People rather should be focusing on living out Jesus’ resurrection and his commitment to welfare, he said.

“We get so focused on the signs of wealth, success or accomplishment, and we don’t focus on the relationships that God wanted us to glory in,” Borgerson said.

Immigration reform is a major 2nd-term priority for President Obama • IMMIGRATION Continued from page A1 on employers, improve legal immigration and create a 13year pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants already here.

It’s a major second-term priority of President Barack Obama’s and would usher in the most dramatic changes to the nation’s faltering immigration system in more than two decades.

The AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce, long-

time antagonists over temporary worker programs, had been fighting over wages for tens of thousands of lowskilled workers who would be brought in under the new program to fill jobs in construction, hotels and resorts, nursing homes and restaurants, and other industries.

Under the agreement, a new “W’’ visa program would go into effect beginning April 1, 2015, according to another official involved with the talks who also spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.

In year one of the program, 20,000 workers would be allowed in; in year two, 35,000; in year three, 55,000; and in year four, 75,000.

Ultimately the program would be capped at 200,000 workers a year, but the number of visas would fluctuate, depending on unemployment rates, job openings, employer demand and data collected by a new federal bureau pushed by the labor movement as an objective monitor of the market.

A “safety valve” would allow employers to exceed the

cap if they can show need and pay premium wages, but any additional workers brought in would be subtracted from the following year’s cap, the official said.

The workers could move from employer to employer and would be able to petition for permanent residency and ultimately seek U.S. citizenship. Neither is possible for temporary workers now.

The new program would fill needs employers say they have that are not currently met by U.S. immigration programs.

Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb.

He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.

They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him

in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” – and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus appears to the disciples On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and

me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

Jesus and Thomas stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.

Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.”

But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark

of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Thoughtful leader To the Editor: I have had the privilege of working with Tom Anderson, candidate for village trustee in Fox River Grove, on the Fox Rover Grove fire department – he was my lieutenant. Tom understands the goal of leadership – making those you lead successful. At a fire incident, he would do that by using his available resources to safely accomplish the mission. He led us well.

I believe that Tom will bring that same understanding of leadership to the Village Board. Wise use of the village’s resources – finances and people – can help FRG continue to be a good place to live and raise a family.

Wise use of resources can also keep businesses in the village and attract new ones.

My wife and I are pleased to support Tom as he seeks to serve our village.

He has demonstrated the ability to be a thoughtful and committed leader.

America’s escalating sin To the Editor: Third segment: Where is the Church?

America will continue to falter as long as her citizens keep their hearts rebellious to the Bible, the Savior Jesus Christ, and a church continuing to teach nothing of real substances or preaching watered-down gibberish.

Families are learning nothing of the real God, salvation in Christ and the

wickedness of America’s escalating sins.

Where godly obedience is wanting, there are no morals, nor can good government be found. If in families godly obedience is not maintained, it is vain to look for good government in city, state or country. Family is the primary government, to where all other governments and dominion on earth take their origin.

If the root of the tree be unsound, then neither the tree (parents) nor fruit (children) will be good. Corruption embeds dominion in the workplace, schools and our communities. The power of the Christian church lies in the young.

Neglect in teaching the true Word of God, children become like a garden that is neglected in the spring.

Those who knowingly neglect their children and let them grow up without the nurture and fear of the Lord are the destroyers of their children.

Our grandfather loved the river, and when he subdivided his property, he wanted to make sure everyone who owned land in the subdivision could use the easement to access the river.

Not dishonest

Strong leadership To the Editor: I will be voting for Steve Cuda in the April 9 McHenry mayoral election.

I urge all voters to support Steve’s candidacy.

When Steve was mayor, the council dealt with annexing the businesses east of the Fox River, the development of the Inland Business Park and bringing Kohls, Meijer and Home Depot to McHenry. Now the City Council talks about tattoo parlors, indoor shooting ranges and taxing flea markets. What a difference 10 years make.

We cannot afford to lose any more of our major retailers to Johnsburg.

After all, there is more to being a mayor than attending social hours and telling everyone how much you “love McHenry.” McHenry needs strong and effective leadership.

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Kate Schott, Stacia Hahn

To the Editor: I read in the Northwest Herald recently another person whining about the “Re-elect Steve Cuda” signs. Mr. Cuda was elected twice before as McHenry’s mayor in the 1990s. Now he is running again and, of course, he is asking the voter to re-elect him mayor.

Nothing is confusing or dishonest about that.

I’m tired of tattoo parlors, secondhand stores and flea markets. Let’s all re-elect Steve Cuda mayor of McHenry on April 9.

The opposite is true.

This bill denies no one the freedom to marry according to their own religious beliefs. In fact, it grants that freedom to those whose religious beliefs tell them it is OK to marry a person of the same sex.

For example, I am a heterosexual man, legally married in the state of Illinois. But my friend, who happens to be gay, is denied that right. The Marriage Fairness Act gives him that right and that’s all. His church tells him this is OK, and now he has the religious freedom to marry. Your church may tell you it’s OK. You still have the right to marry according to the beliefs of your church.

The Marriage Fairness Act only makes marriage fair for every one of us, gay or not. It gives all of us real religious freedom.

Overdue for change To the Editor: In the past 20 years, I have contested my real estate taxes seven times. On each occasion, I received a reduction in my assessed value.

In the 1990s, two appeals were submitted through the state of Illinois.

All letters are subject to editing for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor.

Submit letters by: • E-mail: letters@nwherald.com • Mail: Northwest Herald “It’s Your Write” Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039-0250

Each resulted in me receiving checks from the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office for $340.

Five other appeals were taken directly to the township’s assessor office. On each occasion, I received an on-the-spot reduction in my assessed value of property.

Why should anyone have to go through all of this aggravation?

We are overdue for change. Please join me in voting for Mary Mahady, a true, respected, fully qualified assessor.

Liberty vs. security To the Editor: In recent decades, the world has witnessed leaders who promise their country a utopian future of shared wealth.

Their ideas are implemented by strong government and a weakened private economy. The tactics always are the same: blame the successful and confiscate their wealth by the government.

America’s founding was based on preserving individual liberty over the promises of security by government.

Benjamin Franklin said that those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.

Len Sasse Crystal Lake

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

WONDER LAKE BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE WONDER LAKE – A pole barn at 6606 Barnard Mill Road was destroyed late Friday evening by a fire.

Wonder Lake Fire Protection District Capt. Chris Weber said there was about $500,000 in losses in the detached 30-footby-40-foot aluminum pole barn, which had housed a motor home and a dump truck, among other things.

No one was injured, Weber said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is not believed to be suspicious, Weber said.

Firefighters were dispatched about 8:55 p.m., and had to call for tankers because there are no hydrants in the area. The fire was under control in about 45 minutes, but crews remained on scene for about four hours, Weber said.

“We were out there quite a while,” Weber said.

Crews from Hebron, Richmond, Spring Grove, Woodstock, Crystal Lake, McHenry Township, Nunda Rural, Fox Lake, Marengo and Twin Lakes, Wis., assisted at the scene.

Cary and Harvard fire departments provided station coverage.

16-YEAR-OLD GIRL DRIVES INTO TREE A 16-year-old girl from Union suffered a minor leg injury after she drove off the road and struck a tree near the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Swanson Road south of Woodstock, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said.

The girl was going west at 4:26 p.m. Saturday on Pleasant Valley in a 1999 Mitsubishi when she drove onto the shoulder of the road on the right side for an unknown reason. She then over-corrected, crossed the oncoming lane and struck a tree, knocking it down, said Sgt. Dan Patenaude.

She was charged with improper lane usage.

Traffic in the area was tied up for 30 to 45 minutes, Patenaude said.

The girl was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock.

Sympathy and support Fundraiser to help McHenry family who lost child in fire

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com McHENRY – An outpouring of support filled the McHenry High School West Campus gym Saturday afternoon in the form of friends, family and community members for a fundraising event benefitting the family of 12-yearold Dayana Garcia, who died in a Lakeland Park house fire March 8.

Jett’s Heating and Air owner Wayne Jett, with the help of local businesses and volunteers, organized the event in an effort to raise money for a new home and amenities for the family.

“I have kids of my own,” said Jett, of McHenry. “God forbid if I were ever to lose one of them, I

McHenry resident Amy Daniels brought her sons

Prestin, 6, and Skyler, 10, to partake in the Easter egg hunt and have a go in the bouncy houses.

“I would want the same show of support for my family, and we just wanted

to come and show ours,” Daniels said.

Parkland seventh-graders Sairely Garcia, Gudelia Mujica and Karen Gonzalez were friends of Garcia’s and said she would be greatly missed.

“She always had a smile and she never judged you.

She was really nice and we’re going to miss her,” Gonzalez said.

The event also featured a silent and live auction, 50/50 raffle and visit from Chicago Bears offensive lineman Roberto Garza, who posed for photos and signed autographs.

All proceeds from the three-hour event will go to the family of Dayana Garcia.

CARY – Six buildings at the former Camp Algonquin site are to be demolished, the McHenry County Conservation District’s board has decided.

The conservation district is in the midst of developing a final master plan for the site and the Fox Bluff Conservation Area, in which it is located.

Six of the 12 buildings at the Camp Algonquin site have been considered for possible preservation, but the other six are in poor condition and haven’t been used for many years, according to the district staff’s recommendation to the board.

The Historic Preservation Commission also verified that the buildings are not of historical value, the recommendation said.

Some of the other six buildings – the recreation hall, dining hall, dairy barn and three dormitories – also eventually may be demolished.

Four preliminary plans were presented to the board and the public in late February. Each of the plans proposes keeping one of the buildings.

The “preferred plan” and one of the other options recommend keeping the recreation hall and demolishing the other buildings.

Another option proposes keeping the dairy barn as a “visual feature of the past agrarian landscape,” and the other proposes saving the dining hall.

The staff is in the process of preparing a final master plan based on the input to present to the board at its June 20 meeting for approval.

Because the district

Historical society shows public its Sampler Series The McHenry County Historical Society has three presentations in the Sampler Series remaining for the spring season and includes varied topics.

Dr. Rochelle Lurie, owner of Midwest Archeological Research Services, Marengo, will present “Archeological How-tos” at 3 p.m. Monday.

Her company has logged and preserved nearly 1,700 prehistoric and historic sites in the region since 1986. She will explain how she and her team find and decipher archeological sites.

Lurie, of Harvard, earned a doctorate in anthropology in 1982. She is a past president of the Illinois Archaeological Survey and is on the board of several Illinois Association for Advancement of Archaeology chapters.

John Hallwas, a regional historian, author and retired professor of English from Western Illinois University, will discuss early frontier lawbreakers at 7 p.m. April 15.

Ders Anderson, a Crystal Lake native and Greenways director for Openlands Project in Chicago, will discuss historic trails in the county at 3 p.m. April 29.

ON THE SQUARE Don Peasley Baseball season opens, another interest is in the offing. That is because for decades, Wrigley Field has been characterized as a “Baseball Cathedral.” The Ricketts family wants to make huge improvements.

Changes are evident with the ballpark wishing to revitalize the diamond for more revenue.

No, this is not expectations of being in the race for the National League pennant, but I do hope the team is improving. It was 1933 when I first heard about Major League Baseball. In the spring of 1934, I was intrigued because of the rambunctious St. Louis Cardinals with Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick and Leo Durocher.

I quickly became a fan of the Cubs. Probably the best Cubs team was in 2002, when they pushed to the top only to lose when two outstanding pitchers faltered in an unhappy end.

CRYSTAL LAKE: KNOWING ABUSIVE BEHAVIORS

Turning Point schedules relationship seminar in May NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Turning Point, McHenry County’s only comprehensive domestic violence agency and shelter, will offer a free community education seminar focusing on building healthy relationships at 7 p.m. May 2 at McHenry County College.

Part of a series of community education evenings, “You Need to Know … About Identifying Unhealthy Relationships” will focus on spotting abusive behaviors and setting healthy boundaries in relationships.

The evening will be presented by Melissa McGraw,

who leads Turning Point’s Partner Abuse Intervention Program.

“It’s important to look at your relationship and be on the lookout for abusive behaviors,” McGraw said in a news release. “While there

is no such thing as a ‘typical’ abusive relationship, many abusers do show similar patterns, and we can help victims to spot these patterns and take action to be safe.”

Signs of an unhealthy relationship can include excessive possessiveness and jealousy, controlling and manipulative behavior, and a pattern of isolating one’s partner from friends, family and enjoyable activities.

“You Need to Know …

About Identifying Abusive Relationships” will be held in Rooms 166/167 at the college, 8900 Route 14.

Districts want individual control • EDUCATION Continued from page B1 classroom,” said Lisa Peterson, special education director for Woodstock District 200. “When you add in over 30 percent of the classroom having varying needs, it’s hard to do that. But we do want to be more inclusive in our education. ... With the 70/30 rule, we sometimes restrict that access.”

The district supports the elimination of the rule since it allows for equal education access and more flexibility with classroom scheduling.

But Peterson said the district would keep the classroom ratio near 30 percent to avoid overloading teachers.

Roughly 13 percent of the district’s 6,400 students have special needs.

Huntley District 158 also hasn’t started actively planning new classroom ratios since the state education board started seeking public input on the rule change in February. But like Woodstock, administrators would like the flexibility of having local control over classroom scheduling.

Karen Aylward, special services director for District 158, said the district would not deviate too far from the 30 percent mark if the rule is scratched. Slightly less than 13 percent of the district’s

“Teachers have to make sure they are meeting the needs of those students in the classroom. When you add in over 30 percent of the classroom having varying needs, it’s hard to do that. But we do want to be more inclusive in our education.”

Continued from page B1 tremendous job in moving this district forward,” said Meyer, a 12-year veteran of the board. “I feel that prior board experience will be very advantageous when conducting this search.”

Candidates also expressed a need to balance a high-level education with fiscal responsibility.

“Financial management of the district is always a priority, and increasingly more difficult with the uncertainty and frequent delinquency of payments by the state, not to mention the uncertainty of what the state will do about the Teachers Retirement [System],” Goodwin said.

Candidates shied away from committing to a freeze of the tax levy in coming years, saying the decision

would be based on several circumstances still to be determined.

Lechner said she didn’t think a freeze is a wise idea at this point.

“While District 200 has continued to try and keep the levy as reasonable as possible so that taxpayers are not so burdened with additional costs, we still need to run the district,” Lechner said. “We, the board, have a responsibility to educate the students in our district with or without government funds.”

Wellwerts, of Wonder Lake, applauded the financial efforts of the school board, and said he’d like to help maintain those efforts while continuing to provide what he already believes is a high-quality education.

But while the other candidates elected not to present disagreements to moves made by the board in the

past, Wellwerts stated a criticism.

“I disagree with having the non-curriculum teachers [physical education, art, music and technology] work at multiple schools and rotate between those schools on a daily or weekly basis,” said Wellwerts, who has two children in the district. “I don’t see how that benefits the students or teachers.”

Gilmore, of Woodstock, said he aims for expansion of advanced placement programs, exploration into international baccalaureate programs, support of fine arts and other extracurricular activities, and high involvement from parents toward the education of their children.

“Improving education does not have to lead to increasing the budget, but will require resolve, curiosity and creativity,” he said.

Lisa Peterson, D-200 special education director 9,300 students are in special education.

“You could see more inclusion and more interaction between special education students and their peers,” Aylward said. “It gives us a little more flexibility on scheduling our students.”

Unlike neighboring Huntley, administrators at Carpentersville District 300 have already said the district would increase the number of special education students in mainstream classrooms to 40 percent.

The district board’s legislative committee earlier this month wanted to adopt a legislative priority that would allow the district to advocate for the “70/30” rule elimination to the community before public comment on the issue closes April 22.

But the panel ultimately did not vote on the idea because of board concerns.

The committee could potentially try to pass the priority through the full board again at its April 8 meeting.

Shelley Nacke, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning in District 300, said that a 40 percent cutoff allows for increased access and interaction for special education students, while not overloading teachers.

“It still meets the needs of the special education students as well as the general education students, and allows for a positive learning environment for both,” Nacke said. “It educates students in the least restrictive environment.”

If the issue becomes a legislative priority, District 300 will organize a public campaign involving emails and messages to district parents informing them of the district’s position on the “70/30” rule and the need for them to weigh in on the issue.

Anyone can examine and comment on the proposed rule elimination until April 22. The state education agency then will examine the comments and present to the full board a final proposal for a vote later this summer.

WILLIAM ‘BO’ LEAHEY JR. Born: Aug. 14, 1943; in St. Louis, Mo. Died: March 28, 2013 CRYSTAL LAKE – William “Bo” Leahey Jr., 69, of Crystal Lake, passed away at his home unexpectedly on Thursday, March 28, 2013.

Bo was the beloved husband and best friend of Cleta (nee Wind) Leahey for 44 years and the loving father of Tracey Dayton and Kevin.

Described as a man who “was never without friends and a person who enjoyed the company of people everywhere,” he was always willing to give his attention to those he came in contact with. He never shied away from striking up a conversation with anyone he was surrounded by, regardless of the time or circumstance. Born on Aug. 14, 1943, in St. Louis, Mo., to William Sr. and Teresa (nee Skaggs) Leahey, Bo quickly became a lifelong St. Louis baseball Cardinals fan. He was passionate about the team for his entire life and was never bashful about telling anyone living in the Chicago area that “his” team had won 10 World Series.

Bo worked as a Director of National Sales for Crystal Lake/ Creighton Brothers Egg Products out of Warsaw, Ind., where he picked up the nickname “Eggboy.” He enjoyed his work and always expressed his gratitude towards everyone he worked with. Bo’s real passion in life outside of his family and work was the area’s high school sports scene.

He had an intense desire to see area youth succeed on the field and the classroom and always wanted the best for local student athletes.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cleta; daughter, Tracey (Michael) Dayton; son, Kevin (Jodie); grandchildren, Caitlyn and Drew Dayton and Payton and Brendan Leahey; siblings, Teresa Leahey, Jackie Gisburne, Jim (Susan) and Kathy Barthelmass; sister-in-law, Pat Brewer; brothers-in-law, Jack (Lois) Wind and Bob Hargrove; and many nieces and nephews.

Bo was preceded in death by his parents, William Sr. and Teresa; sisters, Mickey Hargrove and Patricia Leahey; and brothers-in-law, Jan Gisburne, Skip Barthelmass, Bill (Jeanne) Wind and John Brewer.

A celebration of Bo’s life will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Monday, April 1, at Davenport Family Funeral Home, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave. (Route 176), Crystal Lake. Lively conversation and fun stories will be expected while casual St. Louis Cardinal or Cardinal red attire is welcomed.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Bo’s name may be made to the American Diabetes Association, 800-342-2383, www.diabetes.org, or the American Heart Association, 800-242-8721, www.heart.org.

Cubs’ roster overhaul will be put to the test this season

heo Epstein stood, arms folded, in the shadows of Fitch Park in Mesa, Ariz.

Like a king watching over his kingdom, Epstein, dressed in his uniform of a blue polo shirt and khakis, observed his most prized pitchers – Jeff Samardzija, Matt Garza and Edwin Jackson –

throwing a routine, early spring bullpen.

Three pitchers, three differing routes to the Cubs. The three emulating the approach Epstein has brought to the organization: Build from within, use assets to acquire impact talent and add the missing pieces through free agency.

The Cubs president of baseball operations, tasked with rebuilding the organization, is entering his

second season of an organizational overhaul that Epstein expects will bring the Cubs their first World Series title since 1908. But after 101 losses in 2012, their worst season in 50 years, Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer’s commitment to rebuilding is being tested.

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty doesn’t envy his National League Central Division rival. In a big market such as Chicago, you’re

expected to win even when you have to tear it down, Jocketty said, making patience from fans and front office alike vital.

“It’s a combination: ownership is most important, fans have to be patient,” Jocketty said. “It’s more important that ownership is patient because they’ll sometimes react to what the fan base wants. But to do it the right way you just have to let it take its course and hope that the

management team you have in place makes the right decisions.”

Support from Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts hasn’t been an issue.

He’s said all the right things when asked about balancing competitiveness and the need to replenish a farm system that until this spring had been ranked by numerous publications as one of the worst in baseball.

SOCCER: ROCKFORD BOYLAN 3, HUNTLEY 2

Health after NFL worries ex-players

Huntley girls fall in invite championship

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com Brent Novoselsky has been out of pro football for 18 years.

He can’t recall the number of concussions he suffered during his NFL career and hears his body moan every time he gets out of a chair.

At 47, the former Bears and Minnesota Vikings tight end has started to feel the aftershocks of a life spent around football. Doctors routinely ask how many car accidents Novoselsky has been involved in when they examine X-Rays.

His answer is always the same, pinning the condition of his neck and spine on nearly 100 NFL games and making more than 100 special teams tackles.

Three years shy of his 50th birthday, the former Ivy

League honors graduate from the University of Pennsylvania fears what his future looks like. He’s not alone.

Despite progress that’s been made since the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement was ratified in 2011, former players like Novoselsky and Emery Moorehead – the starting tight end on the Bears’ 1985 Super Bowl championship team – still face an uphill climb as they settle into real life for what they hope is the long haul.

But that life, players say, is filled with uncertainties after playing a sport that has taken its toll on the minds and bodies of the nearly 12,000 living former NFL players.

Novoselsky and Moorehead are part of a group of

more than 4,000 former players who are suing the NFL over the league’s treatment of head injuries and concussions, according to a Washington Times database. Novoselsky alleges that the NFL “categorically lied” about the impact repeated blows to the head and concussions have as it relates to longer-term health.

HUNTLEY – The Huntley girls soccer team showed its competitive nature and flashed lots of grit Saturday.

The Red Raiders (4-1) reached the championship game in the Huntley Soccer Invite by narrowly defeating Hononegah 1-0 in the early game on a slick goal from Taryn Jakubowski.

The championship game was yet another close game but this time Huntley fell to Rockford Boylan 3-2 in a close match to finish second in the invite, a step up from last season’s third-place finish in the same invite.

“I was pleased with the way girls played and bat-

tled out there,” Huntley coach Kris Grabner said.

The Titans started the scoring off in the seventh minute when Indiana Universtiy recruit Abby Reed used her speed to break free of the Huntley defense and was all alone as she scored.

The Red Raiders tightened up on defense after letting in the goal and Abigail Nordeen found some room and tied the game at 1-1 in the 24th minute.

“She was ridiculus how good she was,” Grabner said of Nordeen. “She owned the midfield today and I think that is something we are going to continue to see in the future.”

T

he Bulls ended the Heat’s 27-game winning streak Wednesday night, you know that. But the question remains on whether the Bulls can now gather momentum (and get Derrick Rose back). Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Styf: Dearest Tom, Wednesday’s Bulls game made me think of something. We don’t Kirk Hinrich-style bear hug often enough. Maybe we should. We can invite Waka Flocka Flame too, I hear he’s close with Derrick Rose. Not bear hug close, but close nonetheless. All that being said, I think Wednesday will be remembered as the high point of the Bulls’ season. This won’t end well. ...

Musick: Sorry, Jon, no bear hugs.

It’s in my contract, along with access to a private helicopter and an unlimited supply of Animal Crackers from the vending machine (do we still carry those?). But I’m willing to compromise. If Derrick Rose returns to help lead the Bulls to a playoff series win, I can do either a high five or a fist bump.

Styf: Luckily, we won’t have to go down that road. Fist bumps are so ‘90s anyway. Wednesday was great, really.

Even though my headline (Sucker Punch) on the sports front didn’t make as much sense as I thought it would (It was intended to be the dictionary definition of “an unexpected defeat or setback,” but many read it as the more common use of “cheap shot”). The Bulls will be remembered as the team that ruined it. Five years down the line, no one will remember Rose wasn’t there. But right now, it matters. Theoretically, he could have played. And if he could have picked a moment to emerge, that should have been it. I don’t think it’s going to happen this year now.

Musick: I don’t think Rose is coming back this season, either. But I think he should. Even if he returns to play only one or two or three games, that’s still progress heading into next season. Besides, we saw how hard Rose’s teammates worked to beat the Heat. Doesn’t he owe it to them to contribute? Teammates say he looks sharp in practice.

Styf: Allen Iverson always looked sharp in practice, too. But he’s unemployed. Or was it the other way around? Either way, I think that owing something to your teammates is a lost art. It’s about Rose, his shoe contract and his future. This year just really doesn’t matter. It’s a stretch to think the Bulls could win a title, even though they just beat the favorite.

There’s enough offseason that I’m not buying three games would make any difference as far as progress goes.

Musick: If Rose provided his best Iverson impression – “practice?!?”

– I would forgive him for ducking out on the end of the season. No, the Bulls will not win a title this season.

Without Rose, they probably won’t win a playoff series. At least they won Wednesday against the Heat.

The regular season was lacking a top highlight. Finally, the Bulls have one.

Rose will be back at full strength next fall (knock on hardwood), and we can forget this whole thing ever happened.

Evan Jager is the current American record holder in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and finished sixth in the Olympic finals in the 2012 London Games despite racing in the event for only the seventh time. The 23-year-old 2007 Jacobs graduate now has his sights set higher, hoping to earn a spot on the U.S. team for this summer’s World Championships in Moscow following the U.S. Championships in June.

The Olympics were a lot more stressful than how I imagined they would be my entire life. I had made it a goal of mine right when I started running, and I just thought it would be the coolest, the funnest thing to run in the Olympics. I did have a good time and I really enjoyed the experience, but it was incredibly stressful for three months leading up to the race. You’re always trying to do the right thing that’s going to benefit you and help you run at your best when you get to the race at the Olympics.

You’re almost constantly thinking about the race so it’s pretty stressful to try and get the right amount of sleep, eat the right food for such a long period of time.

It was kind of a cool story [to make the Olympic final as a rookie] and it helped me out mentally going into those races. Even though I did so well early on, it was kind of hard for people to expect something great out of me just because it was my first year running the steeple.

Pretty much from the second my coach and I decided to shut the season down in Europe, I went straight into vacation mode. I just flipped the switch right away. I wasn’t stressing out about being in shape or staying focused on workouts or races, I immediately was able to relax. I have absolutely no problem not thinking or worrying about running. It’s pretty easy for me to shut my brain off from that.

It definitely took a while for [being an Olympian and the American record-holder] to hit me. It just sounded weird for a few months after the season ended. But I got used to it and I’ve already kind of put it in the rearview mirror and I don’t really think about it anymore. Yeah, it’s a great achievement, but I’m at the point where I’m ready to move on and strive for some even bigger goals.

You really can’t dwell upon really good accomplishments too long or else you’ll get complacement. It’s hard to stay motivated to do better when you’re completly satisfied with something you have already done. I’ve always enjoyed good races or a good season for a certain amount of time after it’s over and then you set your sights forward instead of looking back.

8SPORTS SHORTS Take Charge Indy takes 2nd in Skip Away Stakes Take Charge Indy, the 4-yearold colt owned by Marengo’s Chuck and Maribeth Sandford, finished second at Saturday’s Skip Away Stakes At Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla. Take Charge Indy led for much of the 1 3/16-mile event before Cigar Street, owned by Miami Heat player Rashard Lewis, made a late charge going into the final turn. The two horses battled down the final stretch before Cigar Street surged ahead to

edge out Take Charge Indy.

Take Charge Indy, jockeyed

by Rosie Napravnik, finished ahead of Pants on Fire. Cigar Street won the $100,000 event in 1:56.84.

Saturday’s second-place came six weeks after Take Charge Indy finished third in his 4-year-old debut in the Donn Handicap.

Chuck Sandford said Friday that Take Charge Indy will retire from racing Dec. 1. He sold the horse’s breeding rights to Kentuckybased WinStar farms last year after Take Charge Indy won the

Florida Derby and finished 19th at the Kentucky Derby.

Animal Kingdom wins $10M Dubai World Cup DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Animal Kingdom pulled away down the straight to win the $10 million Dubai World Cup on Saturday for the first American victory in the world’s richest horse race since 2009.

The 2011 Kentucky Derby winner took the lead from Royal Delta with 500 meters left and

held off a fast-charging Red Cadeaux to win by two lengths.

Planteur was third.

“He’s a tremendous horse,” jockey Joel Rosario said. “I let him do his thing, whatever he wanted to do.”

The victory may be the last hurrah for a horse that has struggled with injuries over the years – including one last year that prevented him from racing in the Dubai World Cup. Animal Kingdom, trained by Graham Motion, has been sold to Australian company Arrow-

field for breeding. The company chairman John Messara said they would discuss over the next few days whether the horse will race one more time – possibly at the Royal Ascot in Britain.

By JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. – Kevin Kolb is getting another chance at a fresh start, this time with the quarterback-needy Buffalo Bills.

A person familiar with negotiations said the free-agent sixth-year player agreed to a two-year contract potentially worth over $12 million with Buffalo on Saturday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Bills haven’t announced the move.

Several media outlets, including ESPN.com and The Buffalo News, first reported the agreement.

Kolb spent the past two seasons in Arizona, where injuries hampered his opportunity to prove himself as a starter.

The Cardinals were left with little choice but to release Kolb on March 15 in a move that came before they were set to pay the player a $2 million roster bonus and saved the team about $7 million in salary cap space.

The Bills are in no position to be choosy with few quarterbacks available in free agency, and questions regarding the crop of prospects available in the NFL draft next month.

Buffalo was down to one experienced quarterback on its roster — Tarvaris Jackson — after releasing returning starter Ryan Fitzpatrick earlier this month.

General manager Buddy Nix has also expressed an intention to select a quarterback high in the draft next month. Questions remain whether they’ll do so with their first-pick, eighth overall.

The Bills have been busy scouting nearly every quarterback prospect this offseason.

They’ve held private workouts with West Virginia’s Geno Smith, Florida State’s E.J. Manuel and Oklahoma’s Landry Jones. Assistant GM Doug Whaley also attended Southern California’s pro day this past week, where Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley threw for the first time since hurting his shoulder in November.

The Bills are once again in rebuilding mode under rookie coach Doug Marrone, who took over in January after Chan Gailey was fired following three losing seasons. Marrone is an offensive specialist, who spent the past four seasons reviving a struggling football program at Syracuse.

Kolb was being counted on by the Cardinals to become their franchise quarterback by acquiring him in a trade with Philadelphia in the summer of 2011. They then signed Kolb to a fiveyear, $63 million contract with $20 million guaranteed.

Kolb, however, got off to a 1-6 start and had trouble adapting to coach Ken Whisenhunt’s offense. He then hurt his toe and was eventually sidelined for the rest of the season because of a concussion.

Last season, Kolb helped the Cardinals get off to a 4-0 start before being sidelined for the rest of the season with torn rib cartilage.

Kolb has struggled with consistency.

He has completed 59.5 percent of his passes, while throwing 28 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in 34 career games.

Red Raiders President of retired players: The NFL needs to do more happy to have • RETIREES Continued from page C1 made it to the Championship • HUNTLEY Continued from page C1 The Red Raiders felt good taking a 1-1 tie into halftime even though they were out-shot 5-3 but they did encounter a speed bump. With about nine minutes left in the half, forward Delaney Loprieno went to play a ball on the sidelines but as she got to the ball her left knee buckled and she crumpled to the field. The junior had to be helped off the field by two trainers and didn’t return to the game. It was the same knee that she had previously injured in the past.

Without Loprieno, the Huntley players did a good job of filling her spot and it was after she went down that the Red Raiders looked within and really battled.

Boylan scored a goal in the 48th minute on a tough angled shot in the second half but just 26 seconds later Huntley forward Deanna Hecht scored to tie the game.

“After losing Delaney we as a group decided to step it up for her and make sure we gave Boylan a good fight,” Hecht said. “I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t put some of those away but I’m really happy with my performance and I’m really happy with the team’s performance.”

Hecht was disappointed about not being able to score again as she had a slew of opportunities late in the second half but couldn’t put any past the Titan’s goalkeeper.

With the game at a standstill for much of the second half the Titans finally broke free and scored with seven minutes to play, a goal that deflated the home crowd but not the play on the field as the Huntley offense led a barrage of shots and opportunities which lasted until the final whistle but it wasn’t enough.

“It’s tough,” Hecht said of the loss, “but we’re are still pretty happy with ourselves because we made it to the championship game whereas last year we weren’t able to do that.”

Grabner was also pleased with the way his team never gave up.

“Some teams get scored on and everyone gets down but these girls get right back in it,” he said. “It was just ‘go win the ball, get at them and strike on.’ Even after they scored their third goal we got right back on them and we had three more good opportunities in a short period of time.

“It’s kind of a team mentality and it’s something that you can’t teach players but we can encourage it.

They either have it or they don’t and these girls have it. If we had another five minutes I think the game would have been tied again.”

Marengo, the only other local team in the invite placed sixth.

The league insists it never intentionally mislead players and that it did its best to protect them. But plays say that it’s not until they leave the game that the real work begins in trying to get the league to take care of them “The NFL needs to do more,” said Marques Sullivan, president of the Retired Professional Football Players of Chicago.

Moorehead said he’s pleased with the progress that has been made under NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and National Football League Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith.

The current CBA provides for a health savings account up to $300,000 and protects the Former Player Life Improvement Plan, which provides educational programs, vested life insurance, neurological care and other benefits for retired players. It also gives players access to a $620 million Legacy Fund, which was designed to assist players who competed in the 1960s, 70s and 80s who were vested by the league before 1993.

The CBA also provides for better pensions for players once they leave the game, improving on a plan players like Moorehead fought so hard for.

Moorehead, who was part of two player strikes fighting for a bigger piece of the revenue pie and then for free agency, says he knew at the time the impact of his efforts wouldn’t be felt until much later.

Novoselsky says players in his eras were merely “guinea pigs” for the benefits enjoyed by today’s NFL players.

But for Moorehead, who is 59 and who retired in 1988 following a 12year career with the Giants, Broncos and Bears, the future wasn’t always as bright. It wasn’t until the concussion story and other health concerns among aging players became a priority for the NFL that the league discovered some of its former players needed help.

“They sacrificed their lives for the NFL, they’ve given a lot of time, a lot of body, and just a lot of abuse,” Moorehead said last week. “[The league] is and just now finding out that when these guys get into their 50s, 60s and 70s, there’s all kind of health problems – dementia and things like that. They’re just starting to realize that and [now] the owners and the NFLPA are trying to rectify that situation.”

Sullivan wants to be part of the solution.

Sullivan spent five years as an NFL offensive tackle, playing with the Bills, Giants and Patriots before retiring in 2004. Too many players, Sullivan said last week, are ill equipped to face retirement, especially after putting their bodies through years of abuse during their playing careers.

While Goodell has vowed to make the game safer, Sullivan said the

The NFL Players Association of Chicago is hosted a charity event to benefit its not-for-profit organization, the Retired Professional Football Players of Chicago, which helps support Chicagoland youth academically and athletically. About 15 retired NFL players attended a meet and greet at Nicolino’s Trackside and Sports Bar for autographs and pictures Wednesday night. message hasn’t always reached the team level. Sullivan said he was routinely instructed in practice to use his helmet as a third hand, taught to make “Riddell to Riddell” contact every time the ball was snapped.

Sullivan declined to name the coach who gave the instructions.

“We were like programmed robots – out to achieve a goal and honestly, that’s all I thought about,” Sullivan said.

“You didn’t think about it. It was just ‘Do your job or you’ll be cut.’ “ Almost two decades after his NFL career ended, Novoselsky is now living with the effects of concussions. He remembers sitting on his couch in the offseason, nodding his head and “literally hearing the ocean because the brain was sloshing around.”

Like with Sullivan, Novoselsky didn’t consider the risks of later-inlife injuries because he was just doing his job. But still, he knew something was wrong.

“You would have a quarter where you were just seeing fuzzy stuff – if you threw a ball at me, it would stick in my facemask because I couldn’t really see particulars,” he said. “I felt like I was out of my body looking down but I was playing special teams and so I could hit the opposite color.

“That was OK. You shake it off.

You weren’t tough if you came out of the game and we didn’t know what we were doing.”

Since then, the league has changed its practices. The NFL’s CBA outlawed full-padded practices in the offseason and limits teams to 14 such workouts during the regular season. The league has also made

Funds collected for the organization are also used to establish grants that provide up to $6,000 in athletic equipment to needy youth football programs throughout the Chicagoland area. strides in taking former players, who Moorehead said for a long time were forgotten once they retired, left to fend for themselves when it comes to adjusting to normal life.

It’s a phase Rashied Davis has just started.

Davis, a former wide receiver with the Bears and Detroit Lions, retired after the 2011 season. He has received plenty of help from a support system made up of friends and family, but is just investigating what his next step will entail.

He has a charitable foundation but says he’s still working to find out what he is best suited to do. Like most players who don’t make what he refers to as “elite, Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs-type money”, he won’t be able to retire on what he made during his NFL career.

Sullivan says Davis’ story is common. The Retired Professional Football Players of Chicago has worked to help build a support system for former players. The group gives members access to mentors and to career fairs as players begin life anew outside of football. It’s a reality that Sullivan, whose first job interview outside of football was for sales representative job with a Chicago-based wine and spirits company, says many of his contemporaries aren’t ready to face.

“A lot of us think that can’t happen to us, but it does,” Sullivan said. “It happens to every last one of us. But it’s something that needs to be driven home because it’s going to happen – sooner or later so you want to make sure you’re prepared.”

WEST REGIONAL FINAL: WICHITA STATE 70, OHIO STATE 66

Wichita State upsets OSU

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Cleanthony Early kept stealing glances down at the hat in his hands while he waited for his turn to climb the stepladder, scissors in hand. The Wichita State forward seemed stunned at the words embroidered on his brand new ballcap: “Final Four Atlanta.”

“It’s crazy. I still can’t believe we’re here,” Early said.

“You try to expect it, but you expect a lot of things that don’t happen. This really happened.”

Believe it. Wichita State is going to Atlanta, and these Shockers are no longer a surprise after the way the tenacious ninth seeds held off mighty Ohio State in the West Regional final.

Malcolm Armstead scored 14 points, Fred Van Vleet bounced in a big basket with 1 minute left, and Wichita State earned its first trip to the Final Four since 1965 with a 7066 victory over the Buckeyes on Saturday.

Van Vleet scored 12 points as the Shockers (30-8) followed up last week’s win over top-ranked Gonzaga with a nail-biting victory over the second-seeded Buckeyes (298), whose 11-game winning streak ended one short of their second straight Final Four. Wichita State’s 20-point lead in the second half dwindled to three in the final minutes, but several Shockers stepped up with big plays to stop the surge, heeding coach Gregg Marshall’s halftime command to “play angry.”

All that anger turned into a joyous postgame party at midcourt, even though the Shockers realize they’ve got more work to do.

Wichita State is just the fifth team seeded ninth or higher to reach the Final Four since seeding began in 1979, but the second in three years following 11th-seeded VCU’s improbable run in 2011. The Shockers’ celebration was wild, if a bit disbelieving, in front of several

thousand roaring fans.

“Last year we were watching all this on television,” said Early, who scored 12 points despite spraining his ankle in the second half. “Now I’m looking at a hat that says ‘Final Four Atlanta’ with my team on it. ... It feels good, and it feels even better that I could experience it with these guys who had to struggle so hard to get here.”

Wichita State roared to a 20-point lead with 11 minutes to play after Ohio State played an awful first half, but LaQuinton Ross scored 15 of his 19 points after halftime, leading a ferocious rally that got the Buckeyes within three points in the final minutes.

Tekele Cotton hit a clutch 3-pointer for Wichita State with 2:20 left and grabbed a key offensive rebound moments later, allowing VanVleet to score on a shot that bounced all over the rim before dropping. Ron Baker and Cotton hit last-minute free throws to secure the second Final Four trip in Wichita State’s history and a schoolrecord 30th win.

“We’re happy, but I’m still shocked,” said Carl Hall, the glasses-wearing big man who scored eight points and led the Shockers’ strong defensive effort. “We’ve got a team full of fighters. I brought them all together near the end and said, ‘No matter what happens, I love y’all.’ We had to fight so hard. We’ve got each other’s backs, and it’s hard to beat a team that’s got five guys who work together like us.”

EAST REGIONAL FINAL: SYRACUSE 55, MARQUETTE 39

Syracuse’s defense Final Four worthy

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press WASHINGTON – When played to perfection, there’s nothing quite like Syracuse’s aggressive, half-court 2-3 zone defense.

It’s 40 minutes of trapping and shot-challenging, of closing off angles, of trusting teammates.

“We showed,” senior guard Brendan Triche said, “that defense wins games.”

Yes, the Orange D certainly does.

With a second suffocating performance at the East Regional, No. 4-seeded Syracuse shut down No. 3 Marquette 5539 Saturday to earn coach Jim Boeheim his fourth trip to the Final Four – and first since a freshman named Carmelo Anthony helped win the 2003 NCAA championship.

“A tremendous, tremendous defensive effort,” Boeheim said.

Fittingly, a matchup between schools from the soon-to-break-apart, roughand-tumble Big East became quite a struggle on the offensive end. Syracuse (30-9) was led by senior forward James Southerland’s 16 points. Michael Carter-Williams, a 6-foot-6 guard who is out front in the zone, was named the regional’s top player after accounting for 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists, five steals and only one turnover Saturday.

Marquette (26-9) hadn’t scored fewer than 47 points all season – and, indeed, put up

Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim cuts down the net his team’s 5539 win over Marquette in the East Regional final Saturday in Washington.

74 in a victory over Syracuse on Feb. 25. But this time, Marquette kept turning the ball over, seeing its shots blocked or just plain missing.

The Golden Eagles’ 39 points were a record low for a team in an NCAA tournament regional final since the shot clock was introduced in 1986.

“They beat us from start to finish. We collectively tried everything we knew to try,” Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. “It is the zone, and it is the players in the zone.”

Much like what happened Thursday in the regional semifinals, when Syracuse knocked off top-seeded Indiana by limiting it to a seasonlow output, too.

“I don’t think we’ve played as good defensively as these last two games,” Triche said.

“We held some good teams down.”

All told, Marquette made only 12 of 53 shots – 23 percent

– and was 3 for 24 on 3-pointers. Vander Blue, who carried Marquette to the round of eight, was held to 14 points on 3-for-15 shooting.

“They cover ground really good. You’ve got to get the ball in the middle, you’ve got to play inside out, you’ve got to get to the free-throw line and wear them down with the 3-pointer when you can,” Blue said. “They’re really good at what they do in that zone.”

Consider these numbers through four games in the tournament: Syracuse is averaging 6.5 blocks and 10.8 steals, while forcing opponents into 29 percent shooting, including 15 percent on 3-pointers.

“We couldn’t get one to drop in from up close,” said Marquette’s Jamil Wilson, who was 0 for 5 on 3-pointers, 1 for 9 overall. “We couldn’t get one to drop in from outside.”

WASHINGTON – The old Jim Boeheim and his incredible 2-3 zone are on the way to another Final Four. The new Jim Boeheim and his more player-friendly attitude will be there as well.

Syracuse’s 55-39 victory over Marquette on Saturday sent the Orange on to the Final Four for the fourth time under Boeheim, a man as synonymous with his school as the Carrier Dome and snow.

Like his career, the Final Four berths have spanned a long time: 1987, 1996, 2003 and 2013.

He’s been involved with basketball at the central New York school since walking on to the team in 1962. On April 3, 1976, he became the head coach at his alma mater and just days short of 37 years later he is No. 2 on the all-time wins list – and adding to his reputation as one of the best defensive coaches because of that 2-3 zone that he has so loyal to.

“Jim’s a great coach. He understands this game and if you sit and talk with him, you’ll see that,” said Leo Rautins, who played for Boeheim from 1980-83 and whose son Andy played there from 2005-10.

“That zone. It’s amazing. If I was a coach today and the way people shoot the ball I’d play zone too. He’s a genius. All his players love him and look at the way all his old players come back for him. You can’t say enough about him.”

The Syracuse sections in Verizon Center looked like the school’s Hall of Fame had come to life. Derrick Coleman, Pearl Washington, Billy Owens, Sherman Douglas. They were all there and they were all ready to talk about Boeheim, who led the Orange to the national championship in 2003 behind a couple of freshmen named Carmelo Anthony and Gerry McNamara.

Most of his former players agreed there isn’t a lot different about Boeheim as far as the game goes. There are some very different things about the man himself.

“He’s mellow now, he used to scream, and cuss at us a lot,” Coleman said with a big laugh.

“He’s more calm now and doesn’t scream as much. He used to be a screamer,” Owens said, drawing laughs from a couple of former players “Right now he’s calm and has all the confidence in the world.

This and 900 wins. I can’t be any happier for him.”

Boeheim has always looked pretty much the same on the bench.

He sits with his chin in right hand when things are going smoothly and he’s up in a hurry if they’re not with arms spread wide and a look on his face of pure disbelief. He’s always been an easy target for those who say he’s a whiner but Douglas, one of the best point guards to play in the Big East, has a play on words with that.

“I think we all mature,” Douglas said. “I was there 20some years ago. As Jim would say, ‘Like wine, you get better with age.’ He’s looks good and is a little feisty at his age. I’m so proud of him.”

UCLA’S NEW COACH

New Mexico feeling the loss as Alford moves on

By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN The Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – New Mexico basketball fans were blindsided Saturday by news that coach Steve Alford had been hired away by UCLA. The Lobos had just wrapped up another winning season that was topped by their second straight Mountain West Conference title and their third NCAA tournament appearance in the past four seasons.

And just days ago, Alford signed a new 10-year contract

that could have been worth up to $2 million a year.

No one thought Alford was going anywhere.

Not even Alford.

Overnight, it all changed.

Lobo Nation is now awash in disappointment.

New Mexico athletic director Paul Krebs is among those feeling the effects of the loss.

He said it was clear when he talked to Alford early Saturday that the coach had made up his mind. He said he understood and respected the decision.

“This is a very emotional

time,” Krebs said to a room packed with reporters and TV cameras.

For some of the players it has yet to sink in. Lobos center Alex Kirk said they needed to come together and clear their heads.

“It’s tough,” Kirk said. “It hit us all really hard. It hit coach hard and it’s going to hit the whole state hard. I think it affects the whole conference.”

After scraping the bottom, New Mexico became a force in the Mountain West Conference under Alford’s leadership.

He was the only coach in school history to win at least 22 games in each season to finish with a record of 155-52. He also qualified the Lobos for the postseason in all six of his seasons.

The Lobos’ success in recent years is what makes Alford’s departure such a bitter pill to swallow, fans said.

“Everybody is upset because he did a wonderful job here,” said Scott Creagan, former president of the Lobo Club and the New Mexico Alumni Lettermen. “It’s disappointing for the team, but the program

is on the rise. Fans are back.

Merchandise sales are up. Everything is going great.”

Still, it hurts, said Sam Bregman, a prominent Albuquerque attorney and a Lobos booster.

“It’s not surprising that other schools would be looking at him after what he’s done here, but I thought he had made a commitment to the Lobos for the long term,” Bregman said.

“New Mexico stepped up and made a big-time commitment to him, and I thought he had made a big-time commitment to UNM.”

The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas – Trey Burke was a 16-monthold toddler the last time Michigan was playing this late in the NCAA tournament.

That regional final 19 years ago, a loss that ended the Fab Five era, was played in a building that no longer exists. Where Reunion Arena once stood near downtown Dallas is now a vacant lot about 20 minutes from where the Wolverines finally get another chance to get back to the Final Four.

No. 4 seed Michigan (297) plays SEC regular-season champion and No. 3 seed Florida (29-7) for the South Regional title on the raised court at ultramodern Cowboys Stadium on Sunday.

The Wolverines advanced largely because of Burke, the sophomore and Big Ten player of the year who scored 23 points – all after halftime –

as they overcame a 14-point deficit against top seed Kansas. They forced overtime when Burke hit a long tying 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left in regulation and won 87-85 in overtime.

“Yeah, I was surprised at how far I was,” Burke admitted after seeing multiple replays of the shot that may just become known as the Fab 3.

Burke also had 10 assists, making him the first player to have 20 points and 10 assists in the NCAA round of 16 since 1987. The last to do it? A Providence player known as “Billy The Kid” – aka Florida coach Billy Donovan, who will be on the opposite bench when his Gators play in their third consecutive regional final.

Florida has been to this point each of the last two years, but it hasn’t been further since winning consecutive national championships under Donovan in 2006 and 2007.

For the first time since their teams played perhaps the greatest game in the history of the NCAA tournament, Krzyzewski and Pitino will meet in the NCAA tournament Sunday when top-seeded Louisville faces Duke. In the regional finals, no less.

Never mind that few of their current players were even born in 1992. Or that Pitino is no longer at Kentucky, having switched sides in the state’s civil war after his brief trip to Boston and the NBA ended badly.

Krzyzewski and Pitino are forever linked by that one game in Philadelphia, immortalized by Christian Laettner’s improbable shot.

“It’s one of those moments in time that helped define our sport,” Krzyzewski said Saturday. “When I’ve talked to Rick about it, we realize we were the lucky guys. We had different roles at that time, but we were both lucky to be there.”

Said Pitino, “It was like being in Carnegie Hall and seeing the best musician or the best singer. Just sitting there in amazement of what they were doing out on the basketball court.”

Krzyzewski and Pitino are two of the finest coaches of their generation, with five NCAA titles and 1,618 victories between them. Yet for all of their success, and for as good a friends as they are, Krzyzewski and Pitino rarely play each other.

When Louisville (32-5) and Duke (30-5) played in the Battle

4 Atlantis tournament in November – Duke won – it was the first time Krzyzewski and Pitino had played each other since ‘92. Sunday’s game will be their third meeting ever.

“That’s why we got them in the conference. Got to start doing this a little bit more,” Krzyzewski joked, referring to Louisville’s upcoming move to the ACC. But almost nothing could top that first meeting between them.

The Blue Devils, led by Laettner and Grant Hill, were defending national champions in 1992. Kentucky was on the rise again after two years on probation. When they met in the old Spectrum for the East Region finals, it was a showdown of the 1 and 2 seeds, a game worthy of a national championship.

The Wildcats knew the ball was going to Laettner, a 6-foot11 center who’d made a buzzer-beater against Connecticut in the regional finals two years earlier. But without Jamal Mashburn – he’d fouled out – Pitino pulled John Pelphrey and Deron Feldhaus aside and warned them not to foul.

Duke would go on to win its second straight title, beating Michigan in the final.

Kentucky would complete its revival four years later when the Wildcats beat Syracuse for their sixth NCAA title and first since 1978.

But it is that game that everyone remembers, and the years have done nothing to diminish it.

Clips of the play are on repeat throughout the tournament each year. And as the NCAA celebrates 75 years of March Madness this year, the Laettner play has been among the highlights.

ATLANTA BRAVES

ASTROS 6, CUBS 3

Uptons join rare group of brothers

Houston ends spring with win over Cubs

Siblings will play together in Braves outfield

HOUSTON – Houston’s prospects got the best of the Cubs on Saturday.

Playing a lineup of mostly minor leaguers in their last exhibition game, the Astros beat the Cubs 6-3. The Cubs began the game with most of their regular starters.

Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney was shaken up after taking a tumble into some railing chasing a foul ball in the third inning. Barney fell to the ground before crashing into the railing near Houston’s dugout. He got up quickly and walked off the field, but was taken out of the game.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Barney received

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ATLANTA – B.J. and Justin Upton took side-by-side lockers during their first spring training together.

Even so, they rarely came across as anything more than just teammates.

Sure, there was plenty of good-natured ribbing. Other times, they chatted quietly.

Mostly, they stuck to their own space – one gently swaying to the tunes in his headphones, the other sipping on a drink and fumbling through some papers.

You know, like any other teammates in the Atlanta Braves clubhouse.

“These guys spend so much time together during the course of the year, it’s almost like everybody’s a brother,” said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. “I haven’t treated them any different. I haven’t even thought about it. The only time it comes up is when somebody asks me, ‘How do you handle the brothers?’ I’m like, ‘Uhh, I don’t know.’”

Baseball has long been a family game, but the Uptons coming together in the Atlanta outfield – B.J. starts in center, Justin beside him in left – puts them in a rather exclusive club: brothers-slashteammates.

When the Uptons trot out together for the Braves’ opener Monday night, they’ll be only the 101st set of brothers to play on the same team, according to the website Baseball Almanac.

“An opportunity like this doesn’t come along very often,” said Sandy Alomar Jr., who got a chance to play with his Hall of Fame brother,

five stitches on his left knee from the spill, and that he definitely wouldn’t play in the Cubs’ opener Monday at Pittsburgh. The cut is on his knee cap, and Barney said it was so deep he could “pretty much see my bone.”

“I was going full speed,” Barney said of the collision.

“I kind of put my head down to get to the spot, and I overran it, so thinking I was going to protect myself, I slid and went down. Unfortunately for me, for some reason there is a concrete slab right there on the edge of the field.

I hit that and didn’t think anything of it. I stood up and walked and felt fine. The rest is history.”

He’s wearing a brace that doesn’t allow his knee to bend so the cut can heal quicker.

By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press

Atlanta Braves outfielders Justin Upton (left) and his brother B.J. Upton listen to a coach during a spring training baseball workout Feb. 20 in Kissimmee, Fla. Roberto, on three different teams. “There’s 750 players in the big leagues, on a planet with 6 billion people. You’ve got be very, very grateful. ...

That’s like a needle in a haystack.”

Even rarer, the Uptons are comparable in ability – two players with power, speed and solid defensive credentials, two players the Braves are counting on heavily to lead the team to another playoff berth after the retirement of longtime slugger Chipper Jones.

This isn’t a brother duo like, say, Cal and Billy Ripken, who were teammates over seven seasons with the Baltimore Orioles but never got confused with the other.

Cal Jr. was the iron man, the Hall of Famer who played more consecutive games than anyone in baseball hitter.

Billy was a light-hitting middle infielder who retired with a .247 average and 20 ca-

reer homers.

Cal Ripken said the Uptons will push each other, which could make them even better players than they were with their former teams.

And, remember, they weren’t too shabby before they got to Atlanta: 25-yearold Justin finished fourth in the NL MVP voting with Arizona in 2011; 28-year-old B.J. had 28 homers and 31 stolen bases for Tampa Bay last season.

“There could be some inter-team competition with them, which I think will be really healthy,” Ripken said.

“The game gets so long with 162 games, a lot of times you have to find different forms of motivation because there are so many ups and downs.

“It’s not going to be about who can one-up each other.

But because they know each other so well, I think that will help some of those days when it is difficult to show up. I love

the dynamic and I’m very curious and very interested to watch the Braves more because of the brothers.”

Of course, if one brother performs up to expectations and the other struggles, it could heighten the pressure.

There’s already a bit of an unusual dynamic when brothers double as teammates.

“In situations where you have to confront your brother, where maybe he’s out of line and I have to confront him or I’m out of line and he has to confront me, those are challenging situations,” recalled Alomar, who now coaches with the Cleveland Indians.

The key, he said, is to make sure any bad feelings don’t carry beyond the ballpark.

That’s can be tough because all siblings bicker at times, and anyone who’s got a brother or sister knows that often it’s harder to soothe hurt feelings when you’re family.

BREWERS 5, WHITE SOX 4

Weeks hits 2-run HR, Brewers defeat Sox

By JOE TOTORAITIS The Associated Press MILWAUKEE – A strong finish to spring training meant something to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Rickie Weeks hit a tworun homer in the first inning and the Brewers beat the White Sox 5-4 on Saturday in the exhibition finale for both teams.

“Obviously, this game doesn’t count, but it feels good to go out there and pitch well and hit well,” Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy said.

Adam Dunn hit a solo homer in the fourth for the Sox. The Brewers had 12 hits, highlighted by Weeks’ third home run of the spring. They used nine pitchers and really

only ran into trouble in the fifth.

The Sox scratched out three runs, one earned, against Tom Gorzelanny.

Throwing errors put runners in scoring position for Gordon Beckham and Dewayne Wise, who each drove in a run. Brandon Short added an RBI double, but Hector Gimenez grounded out to end the inning.

The Sox had one hit off three relievers the rest of the way.

“We pitched very well, considering it was pretty much a bullpen day,” Lucroy said. “I thought that we threw real well. Hopefully, we can carry this over into Monday.”

The Sox open the season Monday at home against the Kansas City Royals.

Cubs’ latest drafts have yielded top prospects Baez, Almora • REBUILDING Continued from page C1 Three consecutive losing seasons hasn’t hurt the value of the franchise, either. The Cubs are the fourth most valuable MLB team according to Forbes, currently valued at $1 billion. Only the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox are more valuable, though the Cubs ranked first in operating income ($32.1 million), which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Ricketts family bought the Cubs for $845 million in 2009.

“We’re on a mission to be the best organization in baseball and that’ll lead to the World Series,” Ricketts said during spring training.

“It’s all about doing the right things one step at a time, being consistent and always moving forward.”

Losing isn’t all bad, however. The Cubs’ futility on the field has yielded three top 9 draft picks the past three years, two of which became shortstop Javier Baez and outfielder Albert Almora.

They are slated to draft second overall in this year’s First-Year Player Draft. It’s their highest draft slot since 2001, when they chose pitcher Mark Prior with the No. 2 pick.

“It takes guts to rebuild, let’s not kid ourselves,” Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said. “It’s not something to be taken lightly because you realize when you do that you’re probably taking a step or two backwards.

You really have to do a selfrealization and determined the dollars you are going to commit at the major-league level.”

Baez and Almora are just two prospects the Cubs expect to turn into impact players.

The Cubs’ Javier Baez watches his walk off two-run home run against Japan during the bottom the ninth inning of a spring training game March 15 in Mesa, Ariz. field within the next year or two if he can fix his strikeoutsusceptible swing, and righthander Arodys Vizcaino, who they acquired in a deadline deal with the Braves last season, represent what the Cubs hope become the centerpieces of playoff-quality team.

To make that jump, however, the development and emergence of the Cubs’ middle-tier prospects – guys like right-handers Trey McNutt and Dillon Maples who were mid- to late-round draft picks – must supplement that talent. But more importantly, the Cubs can’t swing and miss on their first and second round picks.

The Atlanta Braves, an organization that has finished second or better in the NL East 18 of the past 22 seasons, have been the ideal model, a how-to in building a consistent winner. Last year the

Braves secured a NL Wild Card spot with a roster featuring four starters, including catcher Brian McCann and outfielder Jason Heyward, and two pitchers that Atlanta drafted within the first three rounds while three pitchers – Kris Medlen, Tim Hudson and Jonny Venters – were drafted between the 10th and 30th rounds.

As much as Epstein and the Cubs would welcome five consecutive years of top 10 draft picks, they can’t afford to sacrifice wins to fix the lack of impact talent in the minor leagues. While the signing of Edwin Jackson to a four-year, $52 million contract seems absurd since the Cubs won’t be competing for a division title let alone a World Series this year, it falls in line with Epstein and Co.’s long-term vision.

The Cubs can’t assume

that two years from now a marquee free agent pitcher will be available. On top of that, Epstein and Hoyer are competitive guys. They don’t enjoy watching the Cubs lose, certainly not 101 times out of 162 tries. Even though it’s in the best interest of the organization’s future to lose as many games as possible to get them better draft picks, the front office won’t neglect the talent on the major league team.

“Ideally, you’re always in a position where you’re highly competitive at the major league level, you can sustain by what you’re producing and the world is a great place and you can be in bed by 5,” Angels general manager Jerry DiPoto said. “But the reality is that’s very hard to do because the more you succeed at the major league level the deeper you pick in a draft, the less likely it is you’re getting

those impact draft picks and the more onus it puts on you and your scouting system to go out and find players deeper down in the draft who can have superior impact.”

The draft always transitions into a waiting game, one that some small market teams can’t afford. On average, prospects take three years, usually longer if a player is drafted out of high school, to reach the majors.

While relying on the draft is the most cost-efficient way to build a team, it takes time, which forces small market organizations, like the Oakland Athletics, to scour free agency for bargain deals and engage in trades. But the A’s and general manager Billy Beane aren’t afraid to lose some of their top talent to free agency. Instead of handing out a lucrative second contract to players headed for free agency, which occurs once a player has at least six years of service time on a major league 25-man roster, Oakland often trades away players that can bring back quality prospects. Oakland did exactly that with pitchers Dan Haren and Gio Gonzalez and by also allowing a player to hit free agency (see Zito, Barry), a ball club can be compensated. Zito ultimately signed with the Giants and the A’s were awarded a supplemental draft pick, a strategy that’s resulted in 10 supplemental picks the last 13 years.

Beane’s philosophy has resulted in six playoff appearances since 2000 despite a payroll that ranked in the bottom third of all MLB teams in 13 of those 14 seasons.

“Most of us know internally when we’re going in the right direction,” Beane said.

“For us, we’ve always been definitive. We’re either building something special or we have something special. ... if we’re not very good or trying to become good, we’ll try to do everything we can to get a

group of players who will get us there. There’s no sense in going halfway.”

Major League Baseball rule changes within the past year altered the situation Epstein thought he was entering when he arrived on the north side in 2011. Instead of few restrictions on the money he could spend to sign international players or offer in bonus money to draft picks, MLB drastically changed the playing field.

Effective beginning in 2012, baseball’s Collective Bargaining Agreement was reformed so that each MLB team now has an allocated bonus pool, which limits how much money can be offered to a drafted player. The allotment is based on a team’s draft position and number of picks – ranging from $4.5 million to $11.5 million in 2012.

Should any team spend more than its allotment, a luxury tax will be imposed that could cost the organization a first-round draft pick the next season if it surpasses the threshold by 5 to 10 percent.

For Epstein and the Cubs, who have plenty of money available to spend thanks to the Ricketts, it was a devastating blow.

The spending limitations, which also include international amateur signings as each team is restricted by a $2.9 million signing bonus pool for the 2012-13 signing period, are another roadblock for the Cubs. But for Epstein, as he has preached since joining the organization, slow and steady always pays off.

“I always operate with the belief that the only way to make fans happy in the long run is to get to a point where we’re playing baseball in October on a regular basis and nothing’s going to get in the way of that,” Epstein said.

“Sometimes when you rip the scab off, you have some pain until we grow some new skin.

We’re going places. This is a tough road.”

Williams swept the last 10 games and earned a record

sixth title Saturday by rallying past Sharapova 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 at the Sony Open.

Sharapova completed a career Grand Slam by winning the French Open last year, but she’s now 0-5 in Key Biscayne finals. She played nearly flawless tennis for the first hour, but then began to miss with

her serve. Williams dominated rallies with her power down the stretch.

At 31, the No. 1-ranked Williams became the oldest female champion at Key Biscayne. She won the tournament for the first time since 2008 and surpassed Steffi Graf, a five-time champion.

NHL ROUNDUP

NBA ROUNDUP

Penguins win, but lose Crosby

Rockets gang up on Clippers

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Penguins overcame an injury to Sidney Crosby on Saturday for their 15th straight victory, beating the New York Islanders 2-0 in Jarome Iginla’s debut behind third-period goals from Matt Cooke and James Neal.

Tomas Vokoun made 35 saves as Pittsburgh moved within two wins of the NHL record of 17 straight victories set by Mario Lemieux and the 1992-93 Penguins.

Crosby skated off the ice with a towel covering his mouth after a slap shot by teammate Brooks Orpik deflected off a stick and hit the NHL scoring leader in the face just 1:28 into the game. Crosby, who immediately fell to the ice and tossed his stick in the air, did not return.

Crosby, with 15 goals and 56 points, holds a 10-point lead over Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos in the NHL scoring race. Another head injury for Crosby has to concern the Penguins. The team captain has missed considerable time the past two years because concussions. He was sidelined the final 41 games in 2011 and the Stanley Cup finals, and skipped most of the 2012 regular season as symptoms lingered.

Pittsburgh went 15-0-0 in March, the first perfect month in league history. The Penguins also won a franchise best 12th straight at home.

Hurricanes 3, Jets 1: At Winnipeg, Manitoba, Justin Peters made 34 saves to help Carolina keep its playoff hopes alive with a victory over Southeast Division-leading Winnipeg.

Alex Semin and Eric Staal each had a goal and an assist, and Jussi Jokinen also scored for Carolina. The Hurricanes snapped a seven-game winless

streak to improve to 16-15-2 and move within four points of the Jets.

The Associated Press

Avalanche 1, Predators 0 (OT): At Denver, Tyson Barrie scored at 50 seconds of overtime and Colorado beat Nashville.

Semyon Varlamov stopped 34 shots for his third shutout of the season and the 11th of his career.

Flyers 3, Bruins 1: At Philadelphia, Mike Knuble and Matt Read scored, Ilya Bryzgalov made 33 saves and Philadelphia snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over Boston.

Maple Leafs 4, Senators 0: At Ottawa,Nazem Kadri had a hat trick and James Reimer made 31 saves and Toronto won its third straight game and extended its point streak to eight games.

Capitals 4, Sabres 3, (SO): At Buffalo, N.Y., Alex Ovechkin scored once in regulation and again in a shootout to help Washington rally for the win and take sole possession of 11th place, a point ahead of Buffalo in the tightly contested Eastern Conference standings.

Canadiens 3, Rangers 0: At Montreal, Michael Ryder and Tomas Plekanec scored in the first period and Carey Price made 34 saves for Montreal moved three points ahead of Boston for first place in the Northeast Division.

Panthers 3, Devils 2, (OT): At Sunrise, Fla., Dmitry Kulikov scored his first goal of the season at 1:43 of overtime and Florida won its second straight at home for the first time this season.

Wild 4, Kings 3 (SO): At St. Paul, Minn., Mikko Koivu scored in a shootout and Minnesota bounced back for a win after having its seven-game win streak ended a night earlier in Dallas.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby is helped by referee Ian Walsh after being hit in the face with a puck during the first period against the New York Islanders on Saturday in Pittsburgh. Crosby left the game.

HOUSTON – Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Francisco Garcia scored 15 points apiece to lead the Houston Rockets over Los Angeles Clippers, 98-81.

Houston was playing without shooting guard and leading scorer James Harden, who missed his third game of the season with a right ankle sprain.

Garcia had his best game as a Rocket, hitting 3 of 5 shots from beyond the arc as a spark off the bench to help Houston snap a two-game losing streak.

Point guard Chris Paul was the only Clippers starter to play in the final quarter, finishing with 19 points, seven assists and three steals.

Harden, who played 26 minutes and scored a four-month low seven points in a 103-94 road loss to Memphis on Friday night, ranks fifth in the league at 26.0 points per game.

Thunder 109, Bucks 99: At Milwaukee, Kevin Durant scored 30 points, Russell Westbrook had a triple-double, and Oklahoma City beat Milwaukee.

Durant shot 10 of 19 from the field and 9 of 10 from the free throw line in becoming the seventh player this season to score 30 points against the Bucks.

Durant is on pace to join Larry Bird in 1986-87 as the only players to average more than 28 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field, 90 percent from the line and 40 percent from 3-point range.

Jazz 116, Nets 107: At Salt Lake City, Randy Foye scored 26 points, tying a career high with eight 3-pointers, and Utah beat Brooklyn to keep Deron Williams winless against his former team.

The victory was the fourth straight for Utah (38-36), which entered the night eighth in the Western Conference by virtue of its tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Hawks 97, Magic 88: At Atlanta, Ivan Johnson scored a season-high 21 points off the bench, and Devin Harris had 13 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as Atlanta pulled away to beat Orlando.

Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki shoots over the Bulls forward Luol Deng during the second half Saturday in Dallas. Mavericks won, 100-98.

Nowitzki lifts Mavs past Bulls The ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS – Dirk Nowitzki said the ball felt flat coming out of his hand.

It turned out to be the perfect trajectory for the Dallas Mavericks.

Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left and the Mavericks rallied to beat the Bulls 100-98 on Saturday.

“This game was kind of like the story of our season,” said Nowitzki, who finished with a season-high 35 points.

“Every time someone writes us off, we find a way to come back.”

The Mavericks trailed by 12 in the fourth quarter, but Nowitzki scored Dallas’ last eight points in a 15-1 run over the final 3½ minutes of the game.

After Jimmy Butler missed two free throws with 15.9 seconds remaining, Vince Carter drove down the lane and kicked a pass out to Nowitzki, who stepped into a 3-pointer with Luol Deng running at him.

Nowitzki raised both hands in the air and yelled as he headed toward the Dallas bench. The Bulls’ Nate Robinson then missed a jumper at the buzzer that would have tied it.

Robinson scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth in the Bulls’ first game since ending the Miami Heat’s 27game winning streak. The reserve guard made all seven of his 3-point attempts.

Next for the Bulls Detroit, 6 p.m. today, WGN, AM-1000

Carlos Boozer and Deng also had 25 points for the Bulls, who hit a season-high 12 3-pointers.

“This was definitely a tough loss,” Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich said. “We just didn’t finish it out. They have a lot of guys with lots of experience and I give them credit.”

Dallas (36-37) crept within a game of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz for the final playoff spot in the West. The Jazz hosted Brooklyn on Saturday night and the Lakers were at Sacramento.

The Mavericks, who bounced back from a 25-point loss to Indiana, open a fourgame road trip against the Lakers on Tuesday night.

“All these are must win for us,” Dallas center Brandan Wright said. “We couldn’t afford to lose two in a row.”

The Mavericks trailed 9785 after Deng hit the Bulls’ sixth 3-pointer of the final period.

Nowitzki made a 3 to cut Dallas’ deficit to 97-95 with 53.9 seconds left.

The Bulls, who missed

three of four foul shots in the final minute, got a free throw from Boozer with 41.2 seconds remaining.

Nowitzki then hit a stepback jumper to get Dallas within one and Carter fouled Butler, who was open on a cut near the basket.

Butler missed two free throws, and the Mavericks grabbed the rebound and headed up the court. Carter looked to have a good look at the last shot, but instead passed to Nowitzki for the game-winner.

Nowitzki hit his first eight shots and finished 14 of 17 from the floor.

Robinson’s jumper was well off and the Bulls were denied their season-high fourth straight victory.

Carter and Wright each scored 17 for the Mavericks, who finished 4-2 on a sixgame homestand.

Dallas closed the third with a 12-1 run to tie it at 75.

Robinson scored all of the Bulls’ points in an 11-2 run to start the fourth. The 5-foot-9 guard then hit a 32-footer to beat the shot clock, putting the Bulls up 91-83 midway through the quarter.

“He was on fire,” Nowitzki said of Robinson. “It was like a video game.”

All-Star center Joakim Noah (right foot) was sidelined for the fourth straight game for the Bulls, and guard Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) missed his third straight.

Grizzlies 99, Timberwolves 86: At Minneapolis, Marc Gasol scored 21 points and Memphis pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat Minnesota.

76ers 100, Bobcats 92: At Philadelphia, Jrue Holiday scored 10 straight points down the stretch, Evan Turner finished with 22 and Philadelphia beat Charlotte.

GOLF: HOUSTON OPEN

Cink, Haas share lead at 11-under

NBA PLAYOFF RACES

Heat visit Spurs in possible Finals preview

By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS HUMBLE, Texas – Even as the clouds rolled in at the Houston Open, Stewart Cink started to see some light in his game.

Cink saved par from the bunker on the 18th hole Saturday at Redstone Golf Club for a 4-under-par 68, giving him a share of the lead with Bill Haas going into the final round. Cink is winless in 81 starts since the 2009 British Open. This is his first time with at least a share of the third-round lead in nearly five years.

And it doesn’t figure to be easy.

One week after he shared the 36-hole lead at Bay Hill, Haas made seven birdies over his last 13 holes for a 67 and was tied with Cink at 11-under 205.

Today suddenly became loaded with possibilities that might even feature Phil Mickelson.

Twenty players were within four shots. Only three of them – Dustin Johnson, Keegan Bradley and John Mer-

Rory McIlroy had a chance to join the mix. Swinging more freely, the world’s No. 2 player was poised to reach 6 under for the tournament with a superb bunker shot to 5 feet for birdie on the 13th hole.

He missed the putt, and then missed the 3-footer he had left and wound up with a bogey. McIlroy short-sided himself on the next hole for bogey, and dropped another shot on the 18th with a tee shot into the water. He had to settle for a 71 and was nine shots behind.

By the time the Miami Heat get on their plane to come home late Sunday night, they could have a stranglehold on the race to finish with the NBA’s best record.

All they have to do is win at San Antonio. That, of course, is no easy task.

The Heat (57-15) take a two-game lead in the NBA standings over the Spurs (55-17) into their matchup on Sunday. A win would essentially provide Miami a fourgame cushion with nine remaining, given that the Heat also would control any potential head-to-head tiebreaker with San Antonio.

If the Heat lose, the race

for home-court advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs could turn into a frantic, down-to-the-wire deal.

“It’s always good to play the best, to play against the best,” LeBron James said.

“It’ll be an opportunity for us. We just want to get better, man. The game Sunday doesn’t define our season or how we go from there. We just want to continue to move forward and get better throughout the rest of the season.”

Miami has won 28 of its last 29 games overall, getting back on the winning track at New Orleans on Friday, two days after Chicago snapped a 27-game Heat winning streak.

But San Antonio has won 28 of its last 30 games at home, and facing the Spurs on the

road is traditionally a painful expedition for many members of the Heat – as it tends to be for everyone else in the NBA. Dwyane Wade is 1-4 at San Antonio, sitting out three other Heat losses there during his career. Chris Bosh is 1-7.

James is 3-7. Shane Battier – a longtime player in the Western Conference – has enjoyed eight wins from the visitors’ side when facing the Spurs, and also been on the losing end 16 times there.

“It’s obviously a very, very, very good team,” Wade said. “Very tough place to play, so I think our mentality and how we approach the game is going to be important. You just try to go out there and compete, as we do every night, try to get a great

road win. It’s not going to be easy but that’s kind of what we enjoy.”

The only other meeting between the clubs this season was Nov. 29 in Miami, a strange game in that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich – citing a desire to rest his best players at the end of a long road trip – sent Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Danny Green home before the game.

With guys like Patty Mills, Nando De Colo and Matt Bonner filling out the starting lineup – they’ve combined to make four other starts this season – the Spurs almost beat the Heat anyway, leading by five with 2:13 left before getting outscored 12-2 in a wild Miami finish that gave the Heat a 105-100 win.

McHenry County foundation joins trust

VIEWS Chris Cashman

Finding 5,000 reasons to do the right thing What would you do if you found found $5,000? Gil Hernandez of Woodstock did “the right thing.”

Hernandez has worked at Aeroseal Solutions in Crystal Lake for the past two years, cleaning and sealing air ducts in homes throughout McHenry County and beyond.

On Thursday he was at a house in Elgin, talking about what he discovered in a dusty basement in Crystal Lake recently.

Spring is a popular time of year to get ducts clean, and Hernandez has been busy lately.

“I was sealing the duct system that day,” he said. “Part of my job is to go everywhere in the duct system and make sure there are no gaps, and sealing them with aluminum caulk.

“Usually the basement is dark and dusty.”

He made his way to the trunk line. “On top of that there was something. It was dark so I used a flashlight and I saw a bunch of money – 100s and 50s.”

He said the bills were stacked neatly, but covered in dust. It looked like the money had been there a long time.

“So, I was going to call the supervisor, but it was weird.

The owner of the company ... stopped on the job site with two co-workers. It was the first time he stopped at one of my jobs. He asked a couple questions about the sealing.

“I said, ‘oh, you saved me he time to call my supervisor,’” Hernandez said. “I showed him the money and asked him to give it to the homeowner.” And that’s what he did.

“I didn’t count it, but they told me later it was $5,000,” Hernandez said.

“One of the owners of the company said he was proud of me, and he was proud that I was working for them,” he said.

Hernandez said nothing like this has ever happened to him before.

“I’d find dollars, five-dollar bills, but I’d always give back to the customer,” he said. “I never imagined finding that much money.

“It wasn’t my money. I just wanted to do the right thing, and I feel fine with that,” Hernandez said. The homeowners did not want to be identified.

Hernandez said most important was this was a good lesson for his children, ages 13 and 16.

“It was nothing major, it was nothing, but I love that they can hear that their father did something right,” he said.

“They were so happy that I did he right thing.”

John and Pam Garven stand outside their Huntley office. Benico Ltd. will celebrate its 30th anniversary on April 6.

Busier than ever Employee benefits consulting firm marks milestone NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – Employee benefits consulting firm Benico Ltd. in Huntley is busier than ever as companies scramble to prepare for new provisions of the Affordable Care Act that go into effect next year.

“We’re busier than we’ve ever been,” said John Garven, who coowns the benefits and insurance firm with his wife, Pam. “A lot of people are calling us to help them understand the law and how to comply with it. We do a lot of hand holding.”

The firm’s customer service has become a hallmark of the business.

Garven said it has helped the company stay in business for nearly 30 years – a milestone it will mark early next month.

“Benico has grown as a result of two major factors – first, the proactive servicing of its clients’ needs, and second, the ongoing professional development of its staff,” Garven said in a blog post on the company’s website this week. “The value proposition we bring to our clients is that we are big enough to have the knowledge base, expertise and depth of staff that is needed to address our clients’ concerns and issues, and yet small enough to be able to respond to client needs on a timely basis and consistently demonstrate to our clients that we care.”

Key provisions of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act are to be implemented Jan. 1, 2014. The law mandates that most individuals have health insurance, provides subsidies to help pay premiums and penalizes people who can afford coverage but don’t get it. It imposes penalties on businesses with 50 or more full-time workers that don’t offer coverage.

Many business owners have questions about the requirements of the law, which the federal government and states have not yet fully explained.

“So much guidance has yet to come,” Graven said.

John and Pam Graven started the Greater Northern Illinois Group in 1981 shortly after getting married.

John and Pam Garven, owners of Benico Ltd., talk with employee Mary Bieker while working at their Huntley office.

Benico Ltd. What: Benico offers employee benefit and insurance products, services and advice to businesses of all sizes Where: 11715 E. Main Street, Huntley Information: 847-669-4800 or http:// benico.com In 1983 they incorporated Benico, which was associated with commercial property and casualty firm Assurance Agency. After leaving Assurance, Benico moved to Hoffman Estates and later to Hampshire before settling at 117515 E. Main St. in Huntley, its current location.

Benico designs and manages employee benefits for a range of companies. Its largest client has 4,000 employees; its smallest has a couple of employees. It also provides other services such as retirement plans, insurance planning, wealth management and consulting services.

“The lines between payroll, insurance, and banking are blurring,” Garven said. “Clients want integrated products.”

Garven has a number of professional credentials as a consultant, underwriter, and retirement adviser. He served as past president of the Illinois State Association of Health Underwriters, an affiliate of the National Association of Health Underwriters.

Benico has four employees. Catherine Munch and Mary Bieker are account managers. Chris Saundle of Lake in the Hills is the information technology manager and network administrator.

John Garven has been active with the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce and previously served on the Algonquin District 158 school board.

Working with the chamber, Garven “has been instrumental in helping businesses get information on health insurance and other issues,” said Rita Slawek, president and CEO of the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Garvens have lived in Huntley since 1993. They serve as lay pastors at Morning Star Church, an independent, non-denominational church located just outside Huntley.

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Community Foundation is joining with the Chicago Community Trust so it can stay focused on local projects.

The foundation, a philanthropic group that raises and directs funds to county nonprofit entities, will be an affiliate of Chicago Community Trust, a much larger nonprofit organization with a similar mission.

The move, to be announced Tuesday, will allow the local foundation to take advantage of “economies of scale” and use the trust’s back-office staff, said Robin Doeden, president and CEO of the McHenry County Community Foundation.

The trust has $1.6 billion in assets and more than 60 employees compared to the foundation’s $13 million in assets and three employees.

“This will allow our limited staff to spend more time in the field overseeing local projects,” Doeden said, instead of administrative tasks such as payroll and accounting.

The foundation’s local projects include the release of the “Cancer Survivorship Handbook for McHenry County” and a program that reimburses homeowners for sealing unused wells.

Doeden said the foundation’s board had been discussing a partnership with the Chicago Community Trust for several years. The foundation’s mission is to provide for “unmet county social, cultural, educational and charitable needs” in McHenry County communities.

In 2012, the foundation distributed $450,000 in grants to organizations such as Sage YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, Family Alliance, chapters of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and the Raue Center for the Arts.

This year the foundation plans to award about $600,000 in grants, thanks to a large donation that came in late last year from an anonymous donor, Doeden said.

Though the foundation will be affiliated with Chicago Community Trust, its mission will remain the same.

“We’re still going to be focused on this county and the organizations that serve this county,” Doeden said. “That’s not going to change.”

The Chicago Community Trust couldn’t be reached immediately Friday for comment.

Foundation Board Chairman Rick Schildgen is to make the affiliation announcement at a press conference at 10 a.m.

Tuesday at American Community Bank, 381 S. Main St., Crystal Lake.

Increasing your estate plan’s performance A recent survey by U.S. Trust found that “there is a gap between the importance the wealthy place on providing family security and what they are actually doing in terms of estate planning. A majority of survey participants have an estate plan in place, but 39 percent indicate their plans are not comprehensive enough to properly manage distribution of their wealth. This may be because leaving a financial inheritance is less important for many of them than achieving other goals, including: financial security for self and family, financial freedom, travel and quality relationships with family and friends.

The survey respondents also had concerns about their heirs’ ability to

handle the responsibilities of wealth.

Just over one-half had not fully disclosed their wealth to their children and 15 percent had disclosed nothing at all. Some of the fears preventing disclosure included the effect the knowledge might have on their children’s lives and concerns that family money could be wasted.

If one of your priorities is providing ongoing financial security for your spouse and family members, then it’s important that estate planning do more than address tax issues.

A comprehensive estate plan should include financial security, estate protection, management continuity, and taxes.

Financial security. Once there is

Finance Mike Piershale comfort with financial security, it is necessary to establish goals for the distribution of wealth. Things to consider include: • Who will receive the assets?

• How much will each person/entity receive?

• How will the wealth be distributed?

Estate protection. Safeguarding your estate comes next. Your estate may need protection from: • Creditors or lawsuits

• Former family members • Disgruntled or irresponsible family members Management continuity. The next consideration is continuity of management and caretaking for the estate. Is a trust or another entity necessary? It can be a good idea to consider the benefits of: • Revocable and irrevocable trusts • Life insurance trusts • Charitable trusts Taxes. Finally, the potential tax burdens related to an estate should be addressed.

Regardless of wealth, everyone needs a legacy plan. It is common for a person who is not concerned about taxes to simply not plan. This

is a mistake. Even if your legacy plan consists of a simple will and power of attorney documents, planning is necessary. Likewise, people who are concerned about taxes, and have engaged in estate tax planning, also need to consider other aspects of estate planning and the long-term effects of their legacies.

A model opportunity Market beaters: Small-cap foreign funds to invest in her future cent over five years.

Those results are far better than the long-term numbers for other stock fund categories, suggesting that international small-cap is the go-to category for marketbeating fund performance.

“It’s kind of like an overlooked child,” says Aye Soe, an S&P Dow Jones Indices researcher who authored the company’s latest scorecard.

“There are lots of opportunities there, and active managers can find them.”

By MARK JEWELL

AP Personal Finance Writer

Dear Dave, My daughter is 14, and she was recently offered a steady weekend modeling job.

Do you have any advice on how to handle the money she earns?

– Cynthia

Dear Cynthia, In terms of investing some of the money she’ll make, a Roth IRA would be pretty cool. You would have to oversee it, of course, and you’d have to file a tax return, but starting something like this when she’s 14 would help set her up for some serious money later.

I think the biggest thing, however, is to make sure you create lots of teachable moments for this young lady.

There are three areas every child should learn about when it comes to finances: spending, saving and giving.

If she’s working and earning money, she should be able to spend a little and enjoy the fruits of her labors – within reason, of course.

Saving for the short term might include putting money aside for a car or even college.

Long-term goals would include the Roth IRA, so she would have a head start on being able to retire with some dignity one day. Then you should always make sure to give some. Whether it’s tithing to your church or finding other good causes, giving helps others and it’s good for the giver.

When we give, it helps us realize that we’re not the center of the universe. It also makes us a little more Christlike.

This is a phenomenal opportunity for your daughter.

It’s also a great chance for

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey you, as a parent, to involve her in the process and teach her important lessons that will last a lifetime!

– Dave

Dear Dave, When should a couple think about creating a family trust?

– Angie

Dear Angie, A family trust can take different shapes. Couples with young kids sometimes consider creating a trust in the event that they both die unexpectedly. In these situations, a family trust would be managed for the care of minor children.

Some people also create trusts for the purpose of avoiding estate taxes. These trusts aren’t as common, because you don’t have to worry about estate tax problems unless you have assets in excess of $5 million, based on current law.

But to be honest, Angie, I can’t think of a situation where you’d want to create a family trust to manage money while you’re alive. Unless, of course, it contains some kind of estate planning implications.

An annual scorecard of mutual fund performance is in, and it’s generating more of the negative headlines that fund managers have become accustomed to in recent years.

The key finding: Twothirds of managed U.S. stock funds failed to beat the market in 2012, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. For all their stock-picking skills, the vast majority of managers couldn’t claim an edge over low-cost index funds and exchange-traded funds that seek to match the market.

It was the sixth time in the last 10 years that average annual returns of managed funds fell short of the market’s overall performance. Faced with such persistently disappointing results, it’s understandable that an investor might consider giving up and rely exclusively on index funds.

But look deeper into the latest annual scorecard, and there’s a positive takeaway for investors. Funds specializing in stocks of small foreign companies have beaten their market benchmark year after year.

In 2012, 85 percent of this small group of funds posted larger returns than an S&P index of stocks from foreign developed countries. Returns for the five-dozen funds in the international small-cap category averaged 21.7 percent, compared with 15.4 percent for the index.

It wasn’t a one-year fluke.

Ninety percent outperformed over three years, and 79 per-

HOW THEY DO IT Stocks of small companies based overseas generate less attention from investment managers and stock analysts than the big U.S. names in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

That under-the-radar status creates greater opportunity to find stocks that are underpriced relative to their earnings potential.

That’s reflected in the wide variations in returns among small-cap international stocks. The gap between the best and worst performers is typically larger than in other market segments.

“That creates more opportunity for active managers to add value,” Soe says.

WINNING PICKS A couple examples of toprated small-cap international funds, and stocks that have generated strong recent returns: Franklin International Small Cap Growth (FINAX) found a gem in Jumbo SA, which was recently the fund’s third-largest holding. Shares of the Greece-based retailer of children’s products have surged 43 percent over the

past 12 months.

For Invesco International Small Company (IEGAX), a key contributor has been Total Energy Services Trust.

The Canadian energy services company is a longtime holding and the stock has more than doubled over the past five years.

One word of caution: Investors who don’t have the stomach for volatile returns might want to avoid international small-cap funds. Sharp ups and downs are more likely with foreign stocks than with the U.S. market, especially among small-caps.

OTHER FUND CATEGORIES But for consistency in generating market-beating returns, international small-cap funds stand out. Last year, just two out of 13 categories of managed U.S. stock funds posted average returns better than their market benchmarks.

The two: funds specializing in large-cap growth stocks, and funds investing in propertyowning real estate investment trusts. But going back over 3 and 5 years, the vast majority of funds in both categories failed to beat the market.

Among managed U.S. stock funds last year, 66 percent failed to beat a broad measure of the market, the Standard & Poor’s Composite 1500. Although that may sound bad, it’s a marked improvement from the 84 percent that underperformed in 2011. The last year that a majority of managed funds beat the market was in 2009.

Such poor numbers are a key reason why investors have been pulling their money out of managed funds in

recent years. Among all U.S. stock funds — the majority of them managed funds, rather than index products — withdrawals have exceeded deposits for six years in a row.

Last year, investors withdrew a net $95 billion from managed large-cap stock funds, according to Morningstar. In contrast, a net $61 billion was deposited into largecap index mutual funds and ETFs.

SOME EXCEPTIONS Despite the overall performance numbers, there have been standout managed funds in recent years.

Consider the top diversified U.S. stock funds of last year.

Legg Mason Capital Management Opportunity (LMOPX) returned 39.6 percent and Fairholme Fund (FAIRX) gained 35.8 percent. Those results were more than double the 16 percent total return for the S&P 500.

What’s more, a small minority of funds have delivered market-beating returns over periods of 10 years or longer. And Soe notes that several fund managers successfully executed defensive strategies in 2008, limiting their losses in a year when stocks plunged 38 percent amid the financial crisis.

“Just because a majority of active managers underperform doesn’t mean active management is completely dead,” Soe says. “It really depends on market conditions, and how skilled those managers are at taking advantage of those conditions.”

Hotel Gage of Harvard The Hotel Gage on Ayer Street in Harvard was opened for business on Feb. 1, 1885.

Floyd A. Gage was the proprietor. It had 34 rooms and advertised itself as “the house of hospitality.”

Associated with the hotel was a restaurant. A menu offering in 1915 gave diners a large choice of options, from soup, salad, red snapper, turkey and others, including des-

sert for 35 cents a plate.

A 1917 ad announced “hot and cold running water.”

Rooms with running water cost from 50 cents to a dollar.

A private bath could be had for $1.25 to $1.50. Telephones were available in every room.

In 1925, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Eastman took over operation of the hotel. The building was eventually remodeled into apartment units in the 1940s.

You Just Got Fired. Now What?

By Denene Brox

“The experience of being fired from a job is high on the list of stressful life events that can happen to anyone over the course of their employment,” says Dr. Melodie Schaefer, executive director of The Chicago School, Southern California Counseling Centers.

So how do you manage the stress of being fired and get on the road to your next job? Here are some steps.

Don’t Burn Bridges Although you’re not leaving the company under the best circumstances, how you leave can affect your success down the line.

“It can be awkward for colleagues to say goodbye to a fired employee, so don’t bother going from cubicle to cubicle to announce your departure,” says Jeffery Cohen, author of The Complete

Idiot’s Guide to Recession-Proof Careers. “Simply call your closest friends at work that evening to explain the news. They’ll understand your desire to be discreet, given the circumstances.”

After being fired, it’s not uncommon to feel anger toward the company and certain employees.

“Never bad-mouth a former employee or employer online, offline or via social media,” Cohen says. “You never know when you’ll need a reference.

That small sense of satisfaction from dissing a former company will ultimately be outweighed if it costs you a future job.”

Pick Your Battles While it’s common to feel anger toward your former employer, taking legal action is viable only in certain cases.

Paul Lopez, an employment attorney with the firm Tripp Scott, says he regularly receives calls from people seeking legal advice after being fired.

“A lot of people are fired simply because they didn’t get along with their boss, and you can’t sue a company because your boss was a jerk,” Lopez says.

However, certain circumstances can warrant legal action -such as civil-rights violations.

“No one can be fired because of their sex, race, age, disability or national origin,” says Lopez.

“If there’s a manager who has a prejudice against someone in those protected classes and fires them -- that’s actionable.”

Dennis Nason, CEO of Nason & Nason, an executive recruitment firm, adds, “If you’re thinking about suing your previous employer, unless you have a very strong case, it’s not going to get you anywhere.

My advice is to move on.”

Manage Your Emotions While you may feel that your future is uncertain, it’s important to realize that getting fired is not the end of your career.

But keeping your emotions in check can be hard, which is why Schaefer recommends good selfcare by exercising and journaling to relieve stress after being fired.

One aspect of getting fired that can weigh heavily on your mind is how to relay the bad news to your friends and family, for fear of their reactions and judgments.

Schaefer says that remaining forward-thinking is vital when talking about your termination.

“Say, ‘I’d rather not have to dwell on the past and would really appreciate your input in helping me think about my next steps, now that I have a chance to consider making a change,’” she advises.

Start Over Once you’ve allowed some time to mend emotionally and have

gotten over the anger of being fired, it’s time to set sail on a new course.

“Make a bad time a good opportunity,” says Nason. “Ask yourself if you were in the right position, or if you need to rethink your career.”

Career coach Ann Mehl suggests finding a coach or a friend to help you outline your past accomplishments and rebrand yourself in the job market.

“Stress what you learned from the past experience and frame your answers so that you let interviewers know that you see this new opportunity as a means to achieving your ultimate career objectives,” Mehl says.

When you go in for interviews, have a good grasp of the facts about why you were fired, advises Nason. When asked why you left your last job, your answer should be true, concise and as positive as possible.

“Don’t lead your resume, cover letter or interviews with bad news,” says Nason. “They’ll get around to asking why you left your last job. Tell the truth in a brief 10 to 20 seconds.”

The key in interviews to explaining why you got fired is to make it not about you, says

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - In the year ahead, you might experience a marked improvement in your conditions. However, be apprised that just because things may be getting better, if you don’t take advantage of opportunities, nothing will change for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your perceptions should be accurate, so trust them. If you put too much stock in what another says, you could easily make a mistake.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be wary of those offering incentives or rewards; they

may not have your best interests at heart.

Carefully analyze any proposals that come your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You might believe that you’re the one who is doing the lion’s share of the work in a joint effort, but you’re wrong. Stop whining and buckle down.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The key to success is to attempt only what you are well equipped to handle. Winging it will meet only with disaster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s good to

think of your abilities as extraordinary, if there’s some basis for it. If there isn’t, though, you could underestimate the competition and be easily taken down.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Whatever you do, don’t involve outsiders in a sensitive domestic matter. They might mean well, but their input could compound matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Boasting or exaggerating could lead to an embarrassing situation. There is a strong possibility that you could tell a fish story to a guy who has a

ruler in his pocket.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be certain that you have your head on straight when it comes to your financial dealings. A lack of awareness could cause you to lose out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Carefully examine the motives of someone making a grandiose problem. There might not only be strings attached, there could be chains.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your self-discipline could be too lax for your own

good. Your chart indicates that you’re ignoring several undeveloped opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It behooves you to be as straightforward as you can in a sensitive conversation with a friend.

Honesty is the best policy as long as you’re kind as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Success will be denied you if you insist on nourishing self-doubts. If you don’t think like a winner, you won’t act like one, and the results will loudly reflect it.
