Farmers optimistic about end to drought conditions By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com On the National Weather Service’s map of drought conditions, a line snakes across Illinois, just touching the southeast corner of McHenry County. Below, the state has turned completely white, signifying – in the aftermath of a long, hot summer – that conditions have returned to normal. Above the line is yellow, showing that, while a late-winter surge of snow was vital in preparing the earth for spring planting, the county hasn’t made it all the way back just yet. “Subsoil moisture needs improvement, but the surface soil is adequate for the time being,” Marengo farmer John Bartman said. “I’m a bit concerned that if we do have a dry June or July, that’s going to be tough.” Bartman is hopeful that temperatures will continue to hover around 50 degrees. If so, he said, he could be out farming in a couple of weeks. What a difference a year makes. At this time last year, some farmers already had hit the fields to start planting, while others simply were wait-

ing for their crop insurance to kick in. A stretch of warm weather pushed up the spring routine last year, but continued heat and a lack of rain caused problems as the summer wore on. McHenry County spent the back end of the summer and front end of fall flirting with red on the weather service’s map, which signifies extreme drought. When the new year hit, the county had been downgraded to a drought classification of severe. It was still under moderate drought conditions at the beginning of March. But conditions continue to improve, and Bartman is approaching the season with optimism. When he heads out on his 700 acres of Marengo land, he’ll start by planting sweet corn, then corn, then move to wheat, soybeans and vegetables. He said he thinks there’s a “great possibility for a normal growing season.” Michele Aavang, a Greenwood farmer and president of the McHenry County Farm Bureau, said the condition

WOODSTOCK – After closing arguments this morning, a jury is expected to begin deliberations in a murder case that’s more than a decade old. Mario Casciaro, 29, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the disappearance and presumed death of 17-year-old Brian Carrick in 2002. It’s the second time that Casciaro has gone to trial on a murder charge; the first trial a little more than a year ago ended with a hung jury. Carrick was last seen at 6:45 p.m. Dec. 20, 2002, at Val’s Foods in Johnsburg, directly across the street from the house where he lived with his parents. Prosecutors have said Casciaro used another man, Shane Lamb, as a “henchman” to collect on a drug debt Carrick owed him. While in the produce cooler at the store where all three worked, Lamb lost his

Several witnesses were called by the defense Monday to impeach Lamb, including a friend of Casciaro, Stephen Denson, and a local attorney, Ed Donahue. According to Denson and Donahue, who recently represented Denson on a felony fleeing and eluding case, Lamb approached them while they were all at Blarney Island over the summer along with Casciaro.

Once upon a time when father knew best I don’t know how it happened, but, according to some things I am seeing on television, children have become a lot smarter and wiser than their parents. It’s as if our roles have become reversed, with clueless adults receiving much-needed counsel and direction from their perceptive and prudent progenies. Take, for example, the Net10 Wireless commercials. Billed as a “Next Generation” phone plan, the kids (the “Next and Patently Smarter Generation”) offer mom and dad (the “Previous and Obviously Stupider Generation”) loving but firm advice about the need to change their current family phone arrangement. In a series of these commercials, the children offer such proverbial gems as, “Be positive, yet firm,” “Break the news gently,” “Use positive reinforcement,” “Talk with them, not at them,” and “Don’t worry, confusion is normal” as they coach the viewing youth in strategies on how to reason with and correct their parents. The parents in the commercial, on the other hand, display embarrassing naivety and credulity as they stutter “But, I …” and stammer “But what if?” as their children abruptly cut

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava them off to share their wisdom-beyond-their-years. Fortunately, in the end, the children offer their parents sympathetic reassurance with such consoling affirmations as, “You aren’t bad parents, you just fell in with the wrong wireless plan” and “I don’t love our family plan … it doesn’t mean I don’t love you,” as parents grudgingly accept the folly of their ways. Sure, I know that these commercials are tongue-in-cheek, but there seems to be a movement to portray adults as buffoons and children as masterminds who do very well without their parents, thank you very much. Researchers in their TV test marketing have found that children overwhelmingly prefer to watch programs that feature smart kids with stupid parents. Duh. My, how things have changed over the years. Back in the ‘50s and ‘60s fathers knew best, a single dad and his three sons managed things

quite admirably, and if it was left to the Beaver, he’d be really messin’ up without his parents. Ozzie and his wife, Harriet, seemed to have things under control and Sheriff Andy Taylor and Aunt Bee successfully navigated Opie through life in bustling Mayberry. In the ‘80s Bill Cosby’s Dr. Huxtable was as smart as he was funny, and even Mr. Belvedere was often jolly spot on with his wisdom. Nowadays Mr. Simpson’s daughter Lisa is the brains of the family. Everybody seems to love Raymond because of his spousal and parental incompetence. On “iCarly,” the parents never make an appearance as the kids solve their own problems without the need of any adult interference. And Hannah Montana’s fun dad, Robbie Ray, is just a young Jed Clampett with earrings. Wheee doggies! So, I’m wondering, just when did parents get so dumb? Somewhere between “Son, your mother and I can help you with this” and “D’oh!,” something changed. It’s as if the air of wisdom slowly leaked out of parenthood and was sucked up by the next generation. But I think I have a way to reason

with our children about this parent/ child role reversal. If, indeed, we adults have become stupid, then it would appear that a similar fate awaits our children when they grow up and become parents. I can imagine a conversation with a 13-year-old on this subject … “Son, I was wondering … when do you think you will become an idiot?” “What? What are you talking about, Dad?” “Well, since you kids pretty much know everything and we parents know nothing, I was wondering at what age do you think you will become an idiot like me?” I’d be interested in their response. Since all of my kids are grown up and have become idiots like the rest of us parents, it would be fruitless to talk to them. But maybe the grandkids would have something interesting to say …

Suspicion in DA death shifts to white supremacists The ASSOCIATED PRESS KAUFMAN, Texas – Two days after a Texas district attorney and his wife were found shot to death in their home, authorities have said little about their investigation or any potential suspects. But suspicion in the slayings shifted Monday to a white supremacist prison

gang with a long history of violence and retribution that was also the focus of a December law enforcement bulletin warning that its members might try to attack police or prosecutors. The deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife were especially jarring because they happened just a couple of months after one of

the county’s assistant district attorneys, Mark Hasse, was killed near his courthouse office and less than two weeks after Colorado’s prison chief was shot to death at his front door, apparently by a white supremacist ex-convict. The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas has been in the state’s prison system since the 1980s, when it began as a white supremacist gang that pro-

tected its members and ran illegal activities, including drug distribution, according to Terry Pelz, a former Texas prison warden and expert on the gang. The group is now believed to have more than 4,000 members in and out of prison who deal in a variety of criminal enterprises, including prostitution, robbery and murder.

Court upholds conviction of ex-police commander By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A federal appellate court on Monday upheld the 2010 conviction of a former Chicago police commander – whose name became synonymous in the city with out-of-control police – for lying about the torture of suspects. Jurors at Jon Burge’s trial “heard overwhelming evidence” he lied about officers

shocking and suffocating detainees in the ’70s and ’80s to secure confessions, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. “Overall, we conclude that no errors were committed by the court and Burge received a fair trial,” the unanimous opinion from the three-judge panel in Chicago said. Dozens of people, almost all of them black men, claimed for decades that Burge and his of-

ficers tortured them into confessing to crimes ranging from armed robbery to murder. Burge, 65, is currently serving a 4½-year sentence at a federal prison in North Caro- Jon Burge lina. A message seeking comment on Monday from one of Burge’s attorneys, Richard Beuke, was not imme-

the governor emptied death row, and cited the Burge allegations for doubting some convictions. Hobley claimed detectives put a plastic typewriter cover over his head to make it impossible for him to breathe. The indictment against Burge never said Hobley was tortured but accused Burge of lying about participating in or knowing about torture that took place under his watch.

in 1992. Because of the statute of limitations, he was never charged criminally for abuse. Federal prosecutors eventually did charge him with obstruction of justice and perjury for lying during testimony in a civil lawsuit brought by Madison Hobley, who was sentenced to death for a 1987 fire that killed seven people, including his wife and son. Then-Gov. George Ryan pardoned Hobley just before

diately returned. In its 23-page opinion, the appellate court rejected a series of often technical defense arguments, including that on one occasion when Burge allegedly lied, he hadn’t been given a formal oath. “He signed his name below the oath in the presence of the notary,” the court said about that instance, “and so no more formality was needed.” As accusations swirled around him, Burge was fired

Rubio claims pivot point on immigration By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Whatever immigration deal might be claimed by labor and business, or by Democrats and Republicans, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is serving notice it has to go through him. The tea party favorite made it clear over the weekend he has a make-or-break role for the most sweeping immigration changes in decades. It’s a high-risk strategy that also puts his presidential ambitions on the line. Four Republican senators

are involved with Democrats in crafting a bipartisan bill to secure the nation’s borders, improve legal immigration and offer eventual citizenship to millions now in the U.S. illegally. But only Rubio has the conservative bona fides plus life-story credibility to help steer the bill through the Senate with strong support from the GOP, and give it a chance in the House, where conservative Republicans hold more sway. More than anyone else, Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, could have the clout to hold off rebellion

from conservative talk show hosts and a Republican base whose opposition helped kill immigration changes last time around, in 2007. And perhaps only Rubio could sink the entire effort just by walking away. If the first-term senator decides against the bill, “that just takes all the oxygen out of the room,” said Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union. “It may pass the Senate with Democrats’ support ... but that’s not the kind of support you want out of the Senate if you expect passage out of the House.”

The proposal is backed by 64 families who were affected by shootings in Sandy Hook and Columbine as well as the World Trade Center attacks and other tragedies.

The prosecution announced they would seek the death penalty against Holmes.

Colorado prosecutors seek execution in theater attack By DAN ELLIOTT The Associated Press CENTENNIAL, Colo. – For James Holmes, “justice is death,” prosecutors said Monday in announcing they will seek his execution if he is convicted in the Colorado movie theater attack that killed 12 people, including John Larimer of Crystal Lake. The decision – disclosed in court just days after prosecutors publicly rejected Holmes’ offer to plead guilty if they took the death penalty off the table – elevated the already sensational case to a new level and could cause it to drag on for years. “It’s my determination and my intention that in this case, for James Eagan Holmes, justice is death,” District Attorney George Brauchler said, adding that he had discussed the case with 60 people who lost relatives in the July 20 shooting rampage by a gunman in a gas mask and body armor during a midnight showing of the latest Batman movie. There was no audible reaction from the 25-year-old former neuroscience graduate student, who sat with his back to reporters, or from victims’ families in the courtroom. Holmes’ parents sat side by side in the gallery, clutching hands with fingers intertwined.

The decision had been widely predicted by legal analysts. Within minutes of it becoming official, the trial was pushed back from August to next February and Judge William B. Sylvester removed himself from the case, saying that now that the charges carry the death penalty they will take years to resolve and he does not have the time to devote to such a drawn-out matter. Despite the potential for more delays, some of those who lost loved ones were happy with prosecutors’ decision. “I had a huge adrenaline rush,” James said Bryan Holmes Beard, whose best friend Alex Sullivan was killed in the attack. “I love the choice. I love it, I love it.” He added: “I hope I’m in the room when he dies.” But the prospect of a longer legal battle troubled others such as Pierce O’Farrill, who was shot three times. “It could be 10 or 15 years before he’s executed. I would be in my 40s and I’m planning to have a family, and the thought of having to look back and reliving everything at that point in my life, it would be difficult,” he said.

Legal observers said Holmes’ lawyers publicly offered a guilty plea in what may have been a bid to gain support among victims’ families for a deal that would spare them a painful trial and lengthy appeals. The prosecution and the defense could still reach a deal before the case goes to trial. Holmes’ lawyers have indicated in court papers that they may instead pursue a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity. But that carries great risk: Prosecutors could argue that Holmes methodically planned his attack, casing the theater, stockpiling weapons and booby-trapping his apartment with explosives. The judge newly assigned to the case, Carlos Samour Jr., warned defense lawyers that if they want to change Holmes’ plea, the longer they wait the harder it will be to convince him to accept it. If Holmes is found not guilty by reason of insanity, he will be sent to the state mental hospital, then returned to prison after treatment. Colorado has three people on death row but has executed just one person over the past 45 years, in 1997. Samour is also considering whether a New York-based Fox News reporter should have to testify about how she obtained confidential information about Holmes.

NIU father pushes for national victim fund DEKALB – The father of a Northern Illinois University student who was killed in a 2008 campus shooting is one of dozens of people working to convince the federal government to create a National Compassion Fund.

NYC’s Coney Island hopes for rebound after Sandy By JAKE PEARSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – At the beginning of each tourist season, the entrepreneurs who pitch the thrill rides, hot dogs, sideshows and souvenirs at gritty Coney Island gather along its famous boardwalk to pray for two things: good weather and large crowds. Never have they prayed harder than now. Five months after Superstorm Sandy’s surge swamped New York City’s most storied beach destination, many businesses are pinning their hopes on a strong season to help them make up for the hundreds of thousands of dollars they have spent to get back up and running. “We’re almost dead, but we’re open,” said D.J. Vourderis, whose family owns and operates Deno’s Famous Wonder Wheel Amusement Park.

“We’ve built it; now we’re just waiting for them to come.” Vourderis logged 92 hours the week leading up to Palm Sunday, when Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz smashed a bottle of egg cream on the famous Cyclone roller coaster to officially christen the new season at Coney Island – not really an island, but an American institution on a peninsula where, at the turn of the 20th century, it became one of the country’s largest and most popular amusement areas. The late October storm ravaged Vourderis’ business, and he was forced to replace all the corroded relays, circuits, breakers and wiring on the Ferris wheel. The family has borrowed to stay afloat and is about $500,000 in the red after paying for the repairs to the iconic 1920 Wonder Wheel, replacing 24 new bumper cars and redesigning

the entire inside of the SpookA-Rama ride, which was waterlogged. The boardwalk itself was left largely unscathed – but storm surge below the wooden planks flooded storage areas used by the Wonder Wheel park, with water reaching as high as 5 feet in some places, submerging equipment stowed away during the off season. The Wonder Wheel, like other seasonal businesses, was already due to close around the time of the Oct. 29 storm, so the time off was spent making repairs. “It’s going to take years to get us back to where we were,” said Vourderis, standing over hundreds of mintgreen quarters that were oxidized so severely that banks won’t accept them without first having them cleaned in bleach. “I’m trying to look at the glass half full.”

An Iranian shopkeeper sells pistachios Sunday at his shop in western Tehran, Iran. Pistachios are Iran’s top non-oil export and provide work for hundreds of thousands of people. Still, Iranian authorities are backing a boycott of the nuts.

Iranians rebelling against pistachios By NASSER KARIMI The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran – This should be the time of year that nut shop owner Mohammad Ahmadi counts his profits, after the recent Persian new year holiday when Iranians scarf up huge amounts of their iconic snack, pistachios. Instead, he and others in the trade are staring at piles of unsold nuts. Iranians have rebelled against a nut that is as linked to their national identity as apple pie is to America’s or feta cheese to Greece’s. A Facebook-driven boycott of pistachios has taken off, protesting prices that more than doubled in recent months. “The number of customers has dropped terribly,” said Ahmadi, looking out at busy streets where few customers turned into his shop in the Salsabil neighborhood of downtown Tehran. The beloved pistachio has become another casualty of Iran’s sanctions-battered economy. The embracing of the boycott reflects the public dismay over inflation now at 30 percent, ahead of the June presidential election to pick a successor for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Yet, the government, which usually tries to contain Iranians’ anger over the economy, has heartily backed the pistachio boycott – again for reasons tied to the Western-led sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Pistachio exports provide a small but important pipeline for foreign revenues at a time when sanctions are squeezing Iran’s oil and gas sales. Authorities say fewer nuts consumed at home means more available to sell abroad. The pale green nuts are Iran’s top non-oil export, though admittedly they are a very distant second. Iran earned at least $750 million last year from exporting the nut, with some estimates as high as $1 billion. That’s a fraction of the around $128 million a day it earns from oil exports. But oil revenues were down some 45 percent last year because of sanctions on the industry, making pistachios an attractively reliable earner. “Nowadays, any revenue

from exports is like a drop of lifeblood for Iran,” said Saeed Leilaz, an economic and political affairs analyst. Iran is the world’s No. 2 producer of pistachios after the United States, and together the two rivals overwhelmingly dominate the world market in the nut. The U.S. re-imposed a ban on Iranian pistachio imports in 2010, but it had little effect on Iran’s sales since its main customers are in Asia, Europe and the Arab world. In 2012, Iran exported some 110-140 million tons of pistachios, the majority of its production, and the industry employs hundreds of thousands of people. But at home, Iranians are fuming over the cost of their national snack. Pistachio prices have soared from about $8 per 2.2 pounds last year to more than $17. In some areas, a kilo has reached 800,000 rials, or about $25, according to press reports. The exact cause for the rapid rise in prices remains somewhat unclear. Iranian pistachio growers do not need to import major parts or machinery, whose costs have skyrocketed with the sinking value of the Iranian rial. The rial is currently trading at more than 35,000 to $1 compared with about 10,000 just two years ago. Prices of all Iranian products have been dragged higher by galloping inflation. Last month, the head of the pistachio association, Mohsen Jalalpour, said prices at home have been affected by the rising price pistachios get on the international market – compounded by the rial’s fall. The campaign to boycott the nut was launched on Facebook head of last month’s Persian new year, or Nowruz. Demand for pistachios hits an annual high with the new year celebrations, when the nuts are served on nearly every table. Still, they are a treat, not a staple. Last year, another Internet-driven campaign tried to fuel a boycott on chicken after a similar price spike. That appeal fell flat because chicken is central to the Iranian diet. The boycott of pistachios, in contrast, has gained a wide following.

SEOUL, South Korea – After weeks of war-like rhetoric, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gathered legislators Monday for an annual spring parliamentary session taking place one day after top party officials adopted a statement declaring building nuclear weapons and the economy the nation’s top priorities. The meeting of the Supreme People’s Assembly follows near-daily threats from Pyongyang, including vows

of nuclear strikes on South Korea and the U.S. Pyongyang has reacted with anger over routine U.S.South Korean military drills and a new round of U.N. and U.S. sanctions that followed its Feb. 12 underground nuclear test, the country’s third. Analysts see a full-scale North Korean attack as unlikely and say the threats are more likely efforts to provoke softer policies toward Pyongyang from a new government in Seoul, to win diplomatic

talks with Washington and to solidify the young North Korean leader’s military credentials at home. On Sunday, Kim and top party officials adopted a declaration calling nuclear weapons “the nation’s life” and an important component of its defense, an asset that wouldn’t be traded even for “billions of dollars.” Pyongyang cites the U.S. military presence in South Korea as a main reason behind its drive to build missiles and atomic weapons.

The U.S. has stationed tens of thousands of troops in South Korea since the Korean War ended in a truce in 1953. North Korea also has threatened in recent days to shut down a jointly run factory complex in the North – the last remaining symbol of inter-Korean rapprochement. But officials in Seoul say hundreds of workers traveled as usual across the heavily armed border to the North Korean factory Monday as they have throughout the rising tensions.

Closing arguments are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. today • CASE Continued from page A1 “I don’t have money like you,” Lamb told them, according to Denson. “I was facing 45 years. They came at me with a murder indictment.” Donahue reported similar statements made by Lamb while at the bar, namely that Lamb was saying only what prosecutors told him to say. Donahue said on cross-examination that he didn’t

think Lamb actually was coached by Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs, the Criminal Division chief and main prosecutor on the case. “Knowing you, no, I don’t think that conversation took place,” Donahue said. Donahue was testifying only that he heard Lamb say he was coached by Combs – not that Combs actually did it. On the stand previously, Lamb denied making any of those statements, instead

saying he told Casciaro to talk to his lawyer. The defense continues to try to discredit Lamb while pointing a finger at another Val’s Foods employee whose blood was found on the scene: Robert Render. Render, however, died in May 2012 from a drug overdose. He once was charged with concealing a homicide relating to Carrick’s disappearance, but the case against him was dropped. On Dec. 28, 2002 – eight

smoked marijuana. Karlen said he could confirm the date because of flight records. He had flown in from Colorado, where he had been attending school, on his family’s private plane. Karlen said Casciaro wasn’t acting unusual that night, and they spent several hours together. The defense and prosecutors also entered into several stipulations, or agreements as to certain facts or what

days after Carrick disappeared – Render’s father reported that his son had run away, Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Von Allmen said. Von Allmen said he later saw Render walking along the road and Render ran, but was caught in some woods with a marijuana pipe. Also taking the stand Monday was Casciaro’s friend Jerad Karlen. Karlen said on the night Carrick disappeared, he saw Casciaro at a small party where they

some witnesses would say on the stand. Those included an agreement that from 11:28 a.m. Dec. 20, 2002, to 10:30 a.m. the following day, there were no phone calls or “chirps” from Casciaro’s Nextel phone to Lamb. But Lamb had said on the stand Casciaro had contacted him that evening to go “talk” to Carrick. Closing arguments are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. today.

Notorious drug kingpin named Chicago’s Public Enemy No. 1 ‘I think we’ll • CARTELS Continued from page A1 beyond the border or even to grow pot here. But a wide-ranging Associated Press review of federal court cases and government drug-enforcement data, plus interviews with many top law enforcement officials, indicate the groups have begun deploying agents from their inner circles to the U.S. Cartel operatives are suspected of running drug-distribution networks in at least nine non-border states, often in middle-class suburbs in the Midwest, South and Northeast. “It’s probably the most serious threat the United States has faced from organized crime,” said Jack Riley, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Chicago office. The cartel threat looms so large that one of Mexico’s most notorious drug kingpins – a man who has never set foot in Chicago – was recently named the city’s Public Enemy No. 1, the same notorious label once assigned to Al Capone. The Chicago Crime Commission, a non-government agency that tracks crime trends in the region, said it considers Joaquin “El Chapo”

Jack Riley, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Chicago, points out local Mexican drug cartel problem areas on a map Dec. 11 in the interagency Strike Force office in Chicago. Guzman even more menacing than Capone because Guzman leads the deadly Sinaloa cartel, which supplies most of the narcotics sold in Chicago and in many cities across the U.S. Years ago, Mexico faced the same problem – of then-nascent cartels expanding their power – “and didn’t nip the problem in the bud,” said Jack Killorin, head of an anti-trafficking program in Atlanta for the Office of National Drug Control Policy. “And see where they are now.”

Riley sounds a similar alarm: “People think, ‘The border’s 1,700 miles away. This isn’t our problem.’ Well, it is. These days, we operate as if Chicago is on the border.” Border states from Texas to California have long grappled with a cartel presence. But cases involving cartel members have now emerged in the suburbs of Chicago and Atlanta, as well as Columbus, Ohio, Louisville, Ky., and rural North Carolina. Suspects have also surfaced in Indiana,

Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. Mexican drug cartels “are taking over our neighborhoods,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane warned a legislative committee in February. State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan disputed her claim, saying cartels are primarily drug suppliers, not the ones trafficking drugs on the ground. For years, cartels were more inclined to make deals in Mexico with American

traffickers, who would then handle transportation to and distribution within major cities, said Art Bilek, a former organized crime investigator who is now executive vice president of the crime commission. As their organizations grew more sophisticated, the cartels began scheming to keep more profits for themselves. So leaders sought to cut out middlemen and assume more direct control, pushing aside American traffickers, he said. Beginning two or three years ago, authorities noticed that cartels were putting “deputies on the ground here,” Bilek said. “Chicago became such a massive market ... it was critical that they had firm control.” To help fight the syndicates, Chicago recently opened a first-of-its-kind facility at a secret location where 70 federal agents work sideby-side with police and prosecutors. Their primary focus is the point of contact between suburban-based cartel operatives and city street gangs who act as retail salesmen. That is when both sides are most vulnerable to detection, when they are most likely to meet in the open or use cellphones that can be wiretapped.

be OK to get crops in’ • DROUGHT Continued from page A1 of her farmland is improving as well, but the tops of hills are still fairly dry. “I think that what we really need is to see some warmer temperatures to warm up the soil,” Aavang said last week. “At night, it’s still below freezing, so that doesn’t help.” Harvard farmer Harry Alten added that the frozen ground caused some of the snow to evaporate or run off before soaking into the earth. Alten said he’s looking to start planting toward the end of the month or early May. “As far as moisture is concerned, I think we’ll be OK to get the crops in,” he said. “But it will require rains after that.” All in all, McHenry County farmers have returned to a more normal schedule after an accelerated 2012 season. “Last year was such an anomaly,” Bartman said. “We were planting early. That doesn’t happen very often in McHenry County. “The thought of planting in March is crazy.”

Algonquin should not allow gaming Algonquin is poised to become the next McHenry County community that allows video gambling. The village’s board is scheduled to vote to on an ordinance that would allow it, requiring video gaming terminals be licensed on an annual basis per machine. The village is proposing a $500 annual license fee per terminal or device, and a $1,000 annual liFor the record cense fee for each terminal operaThe costs outweigh the bentor that supplies efits, and we urge Algonquin to video gambling not allow video gaming into its machines within community. the village. Although a straw poll indicated five of the seven Algonquin trustees support the ordinance, we urge them to reconsider. The Illinois General Assembly approved video gaming in bars and restaurants in 2009 as a way to fund road, bridge and infrastructure work around the state. It took until October for the state to put oversight procedures in place and the machines to become active. Counties and municipalities were allowed to opt out, and Cary, Crystal Lake and Lakewood have done so. The McHenry County Board has banned video gaming in unincorporated areas. But several local towns, including Harvard, Huntley, Lake in the Hills and McHenry, have opted in. And that’s one reason why some of Algonquin’s taverns and restaurants want it too, for fear of losing customers to neighboring communities where it is allowed. The state allows for machines to have a maximum bet of $2, with maximum payouts of $500. After winnings are paid, the state gets 25 percent of the take, municipalities 5 percent, and the remaining 70 percent is split between owners of the local establishments and owners of the gaming machines. In Fox Lake, where there are 23 machines at five locations, there was a net terminal income of $75,411, according to the Illinois Gaming Board’s monthly report on video gaming for February. Of that, $18,853 went to the state and $3,771 went to the municipality. The three machines in Fox River Grove had a net terminal income of $15,958, with $3,990 due to the state and $798 to the municipality, according to the February report. In Huntley, the four machines had a net terminal income of $14,938, of which $3,734 went to the state and $747 went to the village, according to the February report. The five machines in Lake in the Hills had a net terminal income of $20,007, of which $5,002 went to the state and $1,000 to the village, according to the February report. And in McHenry, the 36 machines at nine locations had a net terminal income of $122,259. Of that, $30,565 went to the state and the city received $6,113, according to the February report. We know revenue is hard to come by these days, what with higher taxes and the state’s dire financial situation. But gambling is addictive. People often lose more than their families can afford. And the returns from gambling are not likely to significantly help either the business or the municipality. The costs outweigh the benefits, and we urge Algonquin to not allow video gaming into its community.

Let USPS handle business It’s sad to read about the hundreds of picketers outside post offices in an effort to save their jobs. It’s sad because it didn’t have to be this way. Had Congress allowed the U.S. Postal Service to take care of its business a long time ago, this day of reckoning would not be upon us. While we don’t like it as a first choice for saving money, if closing post offices and not delivering mail on Saturday while still delivering packages helps save the postal service enough money to remain a viable concern, then we are all for it. The times are changing, and not for the good for the postal service. More often than not, people are using email and other forms of electronic communication to correspond with family, friends and business acquaintances; many people pay all their bills online. But Congress needs to get out of the way and let the postal service do what needs to be done to pare down its billions of dollars in annual losses. In the past, Congress has bowed down to pressure from the letter carrier unions, wellplaced local officials in areas that would see their post offices closed and even newspapers who want Saturday delivery.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Astounding politics

More letters

To the Editor: When Speaker of the House John Boehner recently stated that he absolutely trusts President Barrack Obama and that he also agreed with the president that we do not have an immediate debt problem, the sound of conservatives’ jaws dropping was deafening. The president has not told the truth on job creation, the unemployment numbers, cutting the deficit, the claims of Obamacare, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, transparency, bipartisanship, and class warfare – just to name a few. Why would Mr. Boehner believe he is now telling the truth? Boehner and the president claim we have no immediate debt crisis when we, in fact, have $16 trillion in national debt, trillion-dollar budget deficits are far as the eye can see, over $15 trillion in worthless printed money, and $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. We borrow 40 cents of every dollar we spend. If the federal government was a private-sector business, they would have long since filed for bankruptcy. Conservatives certainly can understand such statements coming from the mouth of the president, but can find no such justification coming from the mouth of Speaker Boehner. It smacks of naiveté, ignorance or collusion. Does the president or Boehner actually believe what they are saying or believe that the electorate is ignorant, uncaring or just disinterested? While the liberal media, doting followers of the president, and progressives found such statements reassuring, conservatives found these statements simply astounding.

experience. This election, he’s recruited a young, successful Realtor Gregory Klemstein from a newer subdivision, representing changing family demographics evolving in the future. He embraces the mission of focused progress during economic challenges. Now is not the time to experiment with new leadership, but is the time to support stability and recognize the difference between the faction of trustees watching and the faction doing. This election is about very different motives and attitudes. The best motives and attitudes come from incumbents – Huemann and McEvoy. Johnsburgers, hopefully, will agree, exercising strong voting statements. George Braun Johnsburg

Thanking Carol Perschke To the Editor: A letter to publicly thank McHenry Township Assessor Carol Perschke and her office for handling an error in not filing for the senior freeze exemption on my mother’s home. This was noticed while helping her with her income taxes, and was, unfortunately, well after the application due date. Once again, I thank Carol for her customer service on this matter.

Johnsburg

Johnsburg needs stability in leadership of village To the Editor: Johnsburg is one of the most disciplined in small-town fiscal policy and focus because of the leadership of Village President Ed Hettermann. His wise appointments have served our citizens and village board enormously. Farsighted planning and coordinated staff execution are the hallmarks. He has the cooperation of the best qualified trustees on the slate, each bringing hands-on village operating

Citizen Advocates for Public Accountability has surveyed and researched the current MCC trustee candidates. It is endorsing Chris Jenner, Tom Wilbeck and Molly Walsh. All have shown a commitment to better education, not bigger, fancier buildings. We do not need a crown jewel college, a teachers’ union official sitting in conflict on the college board, or two incumbents with over 54 years of the same, old ideas.

Vote for Jenner, Wilbeck and Walsh. John Kunzie Woodstock

Don’t fall for endorsement claim from firefighters To the Editor: On April 9, the citizens of the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District will select three individuals to serve on the board of trustees for our fire district, the controlling body responsible for financial and operational policies within the district. Recently a number of campaign signs have been posted that indicate a particular group of candidates is endorsed by “Local Firefighters” in what I believe is a blatant attempt to use the public trust in firefighters to sway an election. As president of the union that represents the firefighters working for the district, I can ensure you that no such endorsement or support was ever offered, nor will it be. Don’t be fooled into voting for a group of candidates who want you to believe that they have the support of “Local Firefighters.” Erick Kennedy Algonquin

tures. His expense and employee management skills were superb. He continues to work hard at the side of his staff to keep the township’s roads in the best possible shape at the least possible cost to taxpayers. With his staff, he has done a fine job of removing encroaching tree branches and with plowing. He secured a $75,000 grant for road resurfacing. He moved his department into the technology age, using renewed energy technology and finding a grant to use more efficient lighting at the township garage. His on the job experience is a valuable asset to our township. Please join me and re-elect Don Goad on April 9. Craig Pfannkuche Wonder Lake

Vote for Schaefer To the Editor: On April 9, Jeff Schaefer is asking the residents of McHenry’s 3rd Ward to re-elect him alderman. For the past eight years, he has been serving his community as a city council member to help make McHenry a better place to live and raise children. Jeff loves his family and McHenry, as he shows in the amount of hours he spends volunteering his time and talents to various community, school and service programs, such as Catholic Order of Foresters, Marian Central Alumni Association, volunteer coach for McHenry Area Soccer Federation, McHenry Baseball Association and Montini Middle School, to name a few. Jeff is a lifelong McHenry resident and 23-year resident of Ward 3, and an eight-year servant to the McHenry community. As a 10-year neighbor and friend, I recommend on April 9 you cast your vote for Jeff Schaefer to continue service and commitment to his beloved community. Lorelei M. Shay McHenry

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Supporting Kownick in Cary To the Editor: I want our village president in Cary to be community driven and supportive of its employees and residents. I want our president to act in the best interest of the entire village. I do not want a president with any opportunity for conflict of interest. Which parties will the president represent, the taxpayers or his personal business interests? Will the village of Cary and its staff become an extension of his commercial realty business? I am not looking for a village president with a personal agenda that reduces fees to benefit his business, yet comments that the village needs additional revenue sources. I want my president to represent the best interests of the residents and businesses in the village of Cary. I am supporting Mark Kownick for village president of Cary. Jeff Panek Cary

Kownick has necessary skills To the Editor: Mark Kownick is the candidate for Cary village president who has my full support. Knowing Mark for many years, I have had an up-close view of Mark’s community involvement and commitment to making Cary a better place to live and work. Mark is an individual of integrity, strong character and high values – traits that I believe our elected officials ought to posses. Mark’s involvement in the community and his experience as a village trustee provide the qualifications and leadership skills needed to serve the residents and businesses of Cary. I encourage residents to join me in supporting Mark Kownick for president April 9. Chris Betz Cary

MCC should take show on road To the Editor: Why is McHenry County College obsessed with bricks-and-mortar projects? Its poorly conceived schemes – from the outlandish minor league baseball stadium to the overwrought 10-year master plan to the ostentatious health and wellness center – are as reckless as they are ruinous. We don’t need new construction. We need a college that can adapt to new realities in education. We need a college that can deal with hard realities in economics. We need a college without walls. A college without walls? Yes. In order to remain the county’s first choice for higher learning, MCC must extend itself. Rather than continuing only as a fixed destination in Crystal Lake, MCC now must travel to where its students are – physically and online. To accomplish this, we require leaders who are shrewd and visionary. Accordingly, I support the election of Chris Jenner, Molly Walsh and Thomas Wilbeck as MCC trustees. Scott K. Summers Harvard

Don’t trust ‘insider’ with MCC To the Editor: Mike Smith, who rarely mentions anymore that he is president of the foundation associated with McHenry County College, now wants to be a trustee on the MCC board. His wife, Lakewood Village President Erin Smith, was quoted in the Northwest Herald as “insisting” that it was not a mistake for Lakewood to sell alternate revenue bonds – without a referendum – to buy the money-losing RedTail golf course. These are the same kind of bonds MCC wants to use to build a $42 million health club and classroom building. When Mike Smith publicly repudiates his wife’s comments in this newspaper, I will vote for him. Until then, I will not trust an insider. Steve Willson Lakewood

of our highway infrastructure. They are probably the first mile when you want to go somewhere and the last mile for emergency vehicles to get to your house. Greenwood Township Highway Commissioner Don Goad takes his responsibility for local roads seriously. I’ve even seen him on foot inspecting the right of way and working with crews. I don’t recall ever hearing of any other elected official leaving his office and getting that involved in the nuts and bolts of his area of responsibility. Now Don is running for re-election. In my opinion, his dedication to serving his neighbors has earned him another term. Chuck Cain Woodstock

Vote for experience To the Editor: I am writing this letter to urge all voters in the Spring Grove Fire Protection District to vote on April 9. I am asking you to re-elect Ed Kattner and Harvey Petska to the position of trustee of the fire protection district. They have a combined 80 years of service to the community, serving the department as firefighters, EMTs, officers and trustees. Ed was the fire chief for 15 years, and Harvey held the positions of captain and assistant chief. These two men have a lifetime of experience in many areas of fire service and deserve your vote for re-election so they can continue to help improve and expand Spring Grove Fire Protection District. Lois Petska Spring Grove

Wilbeck will be an advocate To the Editor: When will we, as taxpayers, realize and vote against special interests, insiders and taxation without representation? Finally, a candidate, Tom Wilbeck, who will be an advocate for the taxpayer and community by requiring taxpayer approval for college expansions. A candidate who will work toward utilizing our existing facility to its fullest potential before driving for more. It’s about time someone like Tom Wilbeck comes along and stands up for the basics. Don’t spend what you don’t have, and if you do, don’t ask the taxpayer to fund your losses. Haven’t we had enough? Go, Tom Wilbeck. Christine Kozina Woodstock

Losing Low would be a loss To the Editor: I am writing this in response to Bethany Murgatroyd’s letter to the editor on behalf of her mother, McHenry Mayor Sue Low. I have no personal connection to the mayor other than about nine years ago she stood with my daughter and several members of the first McHenry West Pom Squad to make state in a blinding snowstorm to have a photo taken next the sign. I have heard other stories of how she devotes her time to all kinds of events and requests. She is a wonderful example to all our young people of how a mayor should act. McHenry would be at a loss without her. Rhonda Clayton McHenry

Wilbeck will fight for voters To the Editor: To voters looking for honesty, integrity and political transparency, your vote for Tom Wilbeck is a vote for much-needed open communication. Tom Wilbeck will lift the veil on McHenry County politics as usual. He will fight against taxation without voter representation (i.e. opposed to $42 million McHenry County College expansion). Do we really need another pay-to-join health club built on an underutilized campus at voter expense? Let’s say “no” to another pay-to-play facility, and “yes” to truthful representation. Vote for Tom Wilbeck.

46. There are four seats up, with nine people running, and four of them are experienced incumbents. Before anyone votes, they should think about how is the school doing? Maybe you aren’t aware of the tax savings the current board has provided the community – over the past three years almost $6 million while maintaining high levels of academic achievement. A change to four new people will be detrimental for a school that is ranking well academically and financially. Ask yourselves, are you willing to take that risk? Taxpayers need to consider the real experience, dedication and positive track record of the incumbents (Laura Domoto, Charlotte Kremer and write-ins Vickie Marconi and Mischelle Yantis). They provide solid leadership and represent vision with stability, which our school district needs.

To the Editor: I am writing because there is a very important election right around the corner for Prairie Grove School District

the voters of Greenwood Township to work diligently to provide safe, well-maintained roads, use taxpayers’ dollars efficiently and to establish the road district as an asset to neighboring municipalities and villages through intergovernmental agreements. Since his election, he has kept his promises and then some. Don works tirelessly as an administrator and equally enjoys working alongside his maintenance crew. His preparation and continuing education as to the job’s requirements and his business owner skills have proved effective. Don Goad’s vision for the future of Greenwood Township includes continuing upgraded road infrastructure, ongoing budget analysis to allow for road resurfacing, and high-quality service for residents. A vote to re-elect Don Goad is another win for the residents of Greenwood Township. Please let his good, dedicated work continue. William and Katherine Weber

Keep it going in District 46 To the Editor: Many school districts in our area are feeling financial stress, and only three McHenry County districts made adequate yearly progress on the state exams last year. One district stands out, however: Prairie Grove School District 46. It saved taxpayers $6 million by reducing the property-tax levy and by refinancing and paying off long-term debt. For seven years in a row, the state of Illinois put District 46 in its top financial recognition category, at the same time that the district received the Bright Star Award for high test scores with low per-pupil expenditures. The district continues to reduce expenditures of all kinds; it even decreased the number of administrators to achieve its goals. Keep these incumbents in office: Laura Domoto and Charlotte Kremer.

Anderson an asset in FRG To The Editor: The village of Fox River Grove is lucky to have Tom Anderson running for village trustee. He is a man of great integrity and would be a great asset to our village board. We have known Tom Anderson for 13 years and can personally attest to his commitment to Fox River Grove. From serving as lieutenant on our fire department to a valued member on our village zoning board, Tom has always exhibited excellent leadership through his sincere, honest and passionate approach. Tom Anderson is a successful and trustworthy businessman, husband, father, neighbor and valued member of our community. The village of Fox River Grove would only benefit by electing him as trustee April 9. Laura and Matt Nick Fox River Grove

Support Dawson, Thorsen To the Editor: Ralph Dawson has served this community his entire life but most recently as city councilman for the city of Crystal Lake. Ralph is a dedicated steward of tax dollars and is an onsite overseer of major projects that affect the quality of life in our community. Ralph was present nearly every day of construction of the Municipal Complex and Three Oaks Recreational Area. In both cases, Ralph was able to find ways to save money and do things right the first time. Ralph is invaluable to the residents of Crystal Lake for all he does above and beyond the expectations of his office. Please join me in supporting Ralph for re-election to the City Council. While you are at it, please consider me, as well, and vote for us both April 9. Jeffrey T. Thorsen Candidate, Crystal Lake City Council

Retain Perschke for assessor To the Editor: I have observed firsthand Carol Perschke’s performance as McHenry Township assessor. You would be hard pressed to find a more qualified, hardworking assessor in McHenry County. Her expertise extends beyond assessing, including necessary skills for running a professional, efficient and fair office. Her skills include budgeting, personnel training and extensive knowledge of the latest computer software to efficiently assess properties and service to the community. I’ve witnessed Carol’s patience with constituents unfamiliar with the assessment process in both education and accessing guidelines. I believe most complaints are related to increased tax amounts, not work completed by Carol and her staff. Also, education of the constituents extends to seminars for seniors for exemptions and tax caps. Although her opponent is a very nice person, I don’t believe her qualifications are comparable to Carol’s. Carol gets my vote based on experience, expertise and qualifications, not just change for change’s sake.

To the Editor: Please join me in voting for Mike Renner for the Cary Park District Board of Trustees. I have known Mike and his family since 1995, when our daughters went to Maplewood School and were in Indian Princesses from the McHenry/ Sage YMCA. Our family has and still use many of the Cary Park District facilities. One of the many improvements Renner voted in favor of is the Hoffman property and dog park. This facility is an important one for me because it “is in my backyard.” I am very grateful that the Cary Park District and Renner voted to obtain this land instead of becoming a gravel pit. This is one of the many park district facilities Renner voted for to improve our quality of life in the village of Cary and surrounding area. So, please join me in voting for Mike Renner for Cary Park District trustee April 9. Cary

Let Goad’s work continue To the Editor: Four years ago, Don Goad promised

Former Fox River Grove president endorses Anderson To the Editor: As the former village president, current fire district trustee and 26-year resident of Fox River Grove, I enthusiastically support Tom Anderson in the election for village trustee. Tom has been very active in the community, having served as a volunteer firefighter and an officer with the fire district and currently on the zoning board. What I am most enthusiastic about is his understanding of the financial challenges that all of us in this community face. Through his business experience, he understands that long-range planning is the key to maximizing limited resources for the largest number of citizens. Lastly, wanting to be more thoughtful with regard to whether an ordinance is truly necessary tells me that he trusts the great people of this town and will make a trustee we can be proud of. I endorse Tom Anderson for Fox River Grove trustee. Bill Yocius Fox River Grove

Keep District 46 momentum To the Editor: School board members should make decisions that balance the needs of our students and employees with the limited resources available from our taxpayers. I believe that for the 10 years that I have been on District 46’s board, we have been moving in the right direction. We are hiring dedicated, talented employees and are providing wonderful programs to help students of all abilities. We have abated the bond and interest funds to provide taxpayer relief, and our property-tax levy has stayed level or decreased while neighboring districts raised theirs. These steps have resulted in $3.9 million left in our taxpayers’ pockets, while our test scores soared. We also added transparency by opening our committee meetings to anyone who wants to participate. An opposition group is pushing for change, but I think we should keep this momentum going. Please vote for me if you agree. Laura Domoto Crystal Lake

Thorsen deserves support To the Editor: I know that my friend Jeff Thorsen is clearly a man who loves our community. As a lifelong resident, he has sunk deep roots in Crystal Lake. He is always there to assist at Lions Club or Salvation Army functions. As a city councilman, he has consistently demonstrated that he his driven by his conscience to be a man who speaks for the people. I have known him to be honest and fair-minded. He always seeks to do what is right for the citizenry regardless of the influences that others may place upon him. His unquestioned integrity and unwavering devotion to good municipal government deserves our support. Please vote to return Jeff Thorsen to the Crystal Lake City Council on April 9.

Read up on MCC race

To the Editor: I’m pleased to endorse Dave Poweleit for the Dundee Township Park District Board. I’ve worked with Dave in a variety of volunteer capacities and have always been very impressed by his positive outlook, his well-researched positions, and his professional communication style. I believe his thoughtful approach and attention to detail will be a great addition to the park board. Dave brings fresh ideas and enthusiasm to the race, and I appreciate his passion for conservation (from native plant restoration to watershed issues to trail systems) and the importance of parks for our kids’ health. Dave is a forward-thinker who also listens to people’s concerns. Dave’s website is www.poweleit4parks.com. Please join me in supporting him April 9.

To the Editor: Incumbent McHenry County College board members are inexorably and secretly moving toward issuing bonds, with public approval via vote or not, for a more than $40 million health and fitness club that they say will be paid for by raising the student cost per credit hour by $8. If the raised cost per student isn’t enough, or if student enrollment doesn’t meet the costs, homeowners will pay, without having voted on whether they agree with the MCC board’s plan or not. Municipal bond analyst Stephen Willson has laid out the flaws in the plan in his Open Letter To the Public Concerning McHenry County College, and Cal Skinner has illuminated the secrets and pitfalls in the flawed plans, all of which can be read at McHenryCountyBlog.com. All who pay property taxes should read those articles before voting on new board members.

OX RIVER GROVE – Improving parking, marketing the town and talking to more potential businesses were some of the ways village trustee candidates said they would help pursue economic development. Candidates for Fox River Grove village trustee Monday talked about bringing business to the downtown area and Bettendorf Castle, among other issues, during an election forum hosted by Boy Scout Troop 166. “This is just for the community and to show we can help out with the election,” said Karol Stankiewicz, the 15-year-old senior patrol leader. There are six people running for three seats: incumbents Michael Ireland and Suzanne Blohm, and challengers Chester Olencheck, Tom Anderson, Robert Kandler and Andrew Migdal. Ireland said the current board is in planning mode on where it wants to take the village, as there is now a tax increment financing district in place downtown

to help with redevelopment. He said the village is working on putting together facade improvements and working on finding parking in the downtown area. He also said there is a need to rebuild roads and infrastructure. “Our infrastructure is over 100 years old; it’s crumbling,” Ireland said. “We need to take care of that.” Anderson said the village needs to market itself, and its access to schools and the train line. Representatives from town need

Richmond’s budget reflects ongoing sewer plant troubles Village looking to gain new revenue from underused facility By EMILY K. COLEMAN

Seven vie for 4 seats in D-46

ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – With expected loan payments to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency still higher than the village’s goal, the Richmond Finance Committee’s draft budget includes new taxes and other potential revenue streams. The most significant change from previous years’ budgets is the purchase of what officials jokingly – and in mock-up advertisements – call the Beast. The new equipment, an add-on to handle concreted sewage from septic haulers, would allow Richmond to make its sewer plant into a moneymaker, charging commercial dumpers to unload, Village President Pete Koenig said. The plant was built in

If you go The Richmond Finance Committee will conduct a final review of the proposed fiscal 2013-14 budget at its meeting at 4:15 p.m. today at Richmond Village Hall, 5600 Hunter Drive. 2004 with the expectation that connection fees from new homes in Prairie Hill, a 224-acre subdivision on the north side of Route 12 near the Route 31 intersection, would pay for the project. The subdivision, however, was never developed, and the village was left with the bill, $450,000 in annual payments to the Illinois EPA over 20 years. The village continues to negotiate with the agency for lower rates, and at this point it looks like the loan will be extended to 30 years

with annual payments of $375,000, Koenig said. Nothing has been finalized. Village officials had hoped to get payments of $250,000 to $275,000, he said. Because the subdivision was never built, the sewer plant is also not at capacity. The village plans on tapping into that capacity and generating a new revenue stream to help with the EPA payments. “It’s nice because it helps the plant pay for itself,” Koenig said. The additional equipment will cost $200,000 over two years. If the village goes ahead with an agreement currently in the works, it will not have to pay interest in exchange for allowing the plant to be used temporarily as a demo site.

PRAIRIE GROVE – Fresh from a year of turmoil and a one-day strike, there are seven candidates running for four open spots on the District 46 school board. Incumbents Laura Domoto and Charlotte Kremer are up against newcomers Laura Barker, John Bowman, Anna Olas, Margaret Ponga and Rick Salvo. Some candidates hailed the agreement with the Prairie Grove district’s union after teachers had worked for nearly two years without a contract as the greatest accomplishment of the past year. But Olas said it was the district’s biggest black mark. “I disagree with the amount of time it took the school board and the teachers union to come to an agreement,” she said. “I feel there was no reason for the teachers to work for almost two school years without a contract.” Other challengers have cited a strained community relationship as the reason for throwing their hat into school politics. Bowman, Ponga and Salvo appear to agree on most issues, each citing the board’s decision to dissolve community committees and move to a committee of the whole format as the biggest disappointment of the past year, and instituting early childhood education as its greatest accomplishment. Salvo said he wants to work to restore employee morale. “What [used] to be a topranked energetic school has segregated to teachers vs. administration,” Salvo said in the Northwest Herald’s candidate questionnaire. Barker says she wants to engage the community in

NIU sees record number of freshman applications By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois University might have faced some controversy in the past year, but student interest has never been higher. More than 18,000 potential freshmen have applied to NIU for the 2013 fall semester – an 11 percent increase in the number of applications received at this time last year. The volume of applications is the most the university has ever received by this time. Marc Strauss, who serves on the NIU Board of Trustees, said it would be “extremely important” to convert as many of those applications as possible into enrolled students. He praised university staff for focusing on student recruitment and blocking out external factors. Strauss said outside factors whether good, such as the football team’s run to the Orange Bowl – or bad – such

Several candidates agree transparency, community committees key to success • D-46 Continued from page B1 board decisions. “Without community involvement through committees, there are no checks and balances,” she said. “We should work with complete transparency so everyone knows what our tax dollars are being used for.” Ponga agreed. “The [Committee of the Whole] platform pushed the taxpayers away from the school. Without community committees, there are no checks and balances; the board discusses issues at the [Committee of the Whole] meetings and then makes recommendations to themselves at their regular meetings,” she said. “As a public body, we must reinstate commu-

nity committees and work toward complete transparency.” Bowman wants to rein in expenses. “I am interested in restoring District 46 to its earlier pre-eminence in the county,” he said. “I want to determine why one of the smallest districts repeatedly and consistently posts the largest administrative cost per pupil.” Long-range planning

would be a goal for Domoto. “As our buildings age, we need to make sure that they are safe, and that we have a plan for improvements and repairs that can be implemented within our current financial parameters, without asking our taxpayers for additional funds,” she said. If re-elected, Kremer would push for more rigorous standards for the district’s highest achievers.

Candidate: Village needs to protect residents • CANDIDATES Continued from page B1 to bring more service-oriented businesses, such as restaurants, into town. “Usually people from our town go to other towns to eat,” Olencheck said. Migdal said Fox River Grove needs to look at parking in the downtown area. “There has to be parking on the business side of Route 14,” Migdal said. “The major thing is parking. You have to have convenience, otherwise people will stay in their cars.” Blohm said there have to be marketing efforts for the downtown, and the village is working on parking to attract and retain businesses. However, the appearance of town is also important, she added. “We need to implement

and enforce some property maintenance standards in our downtown, so once we get it in the position we want it to be in, it stays that way,” Blohm said. When it came to the issues surrounding whether to allow tours at the Bettendorf Castle, Anderson said he would keep an open mind on the situation. He did say that owners have the right to use their property as they wish, but added that zoning ordinances restrict how much people can do on their properties to protect neighbors. Kandler said compromise is needed on both sides of the issue. Olencheck said that the property should be allowed to be opened to the public on occasion, but both sides need to work together. “Some people in town have parties that draw 75 to 100

people to their house. Are we going to restrict that, too?” Olencheck said. Migdal said he understands the complaints from the neighbors about excess traffic if there was an event, and the village needs to figure out a way to keep neighbors safe. However, the building should be allowed to have tours, he said. “I think it would be a shame if the village said ‘No.’ ” Ireland, who has helped write draft ordinances to regulate home tours, said the village needs to protect all the residents in the community and people at the events. Blohm said with the castle being in a residential area, she does not support it being a moneymaking venue “where they would have outdoor parties with amplified music ... at any night during the week.”

Board adds two new utility taxes on electricity, gas • RICHMOND Continued from page B1 Although the equipment will cost the village more in the short term, Koenig said, the life of the EPA loan is 30 years.

“To do this [paying off the loan] simply by increasing water and sewer rates would just be devastating,” Koenig said. To make ends meet, the Village Board also doubled the cost of vehicle registration stickers and the telecom-

munications tax. It added two new utility taxes on electricity and gas. Revenue from the vehicle stickers and new video gaming machines won’t affect the budget for the fiscal year that starts May 1 but will affect the budget for fiscal 2014-15.

Official: NIU delighted with influx of interest • NIU Continued from page B1 have a higher percentage of students who finished in the top 25 percent of their high school class attend NIU. NIU spokesman Paul Palian said the goals are attainable if the faculty and staff continue to execute the programs and strategies they already have implemented. Palian said more professors are involved with potential students in the recruitment process to make the experience more personalized, and events such as Transfer Tuesdays and Virtual Decision Day have made the application process easier. Virtual Decision Day guarantees applicants who participate an acceptance decision within an hour. “The most important aspect of increasing applications is the strong collaborative effort across campus,” Palian said. “Professors are taking a more hands-on role.” Palian also said improvements to residence halls and the construction of an outdoor recreation sports complex make the university environment more attractive. Cherilyn Murer, chairwoman for the NIU Board of Trustees, said the increase in applications shows the issues the university has faced in the past year – including charges being filed against employees and a federal investigation into the university police department – have not caused the public’s faith in the university as a strong educational institution. “Obviously we’re delighted with this influx of interest in NIU,” Murer said. “I think this is reflective of the support and confidence that parents and students have in the quality of education being provided at NIU.”

Supervisor Anthony Prerost makes room for more inventory at the Huntley Ziegler’s Ace Hardware. Ziegler’s has nine Ace Hardware stores in the region.

Ziegler solidarity Consensus key to successful Ace Hardware model By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Cousins Brian and David Ziegler are the third generation to lead and grow the family’s hardware business, Ziegler’s Ace. The company has grown in the last eight decades to include nine locations in the suburbs, with stores in in Elgin, South Elgin, Carol Stream, Huntley, Cary, Lake in the Hills, and Crystal Lake. Grandfather Lyle A. Ziegler started the enterprise when he purchased Meehan’s Hardware in Elgin in 1930. Four years later, he joined the Ace Hardware Corp., which was formed by five Chicago hardware retailers in 1924. Lyle Ziegler’s sons, Gregg and James, expanded the business in the 1950s and ’60s. At one point in the 1960s, Ziegler’s Ace was the top purchaser of products from Ace Hardware Corp. The brothers continued to lead the business through the late 1970s, when their sons, Brian and David Ziegler, joined the company. The two cousins bought the business in 1992. Together, they expanded Ziegler’s Ace to include 10 stores, though they were forced to close one because of the recession. Working with family members can be difficult, but David and Brian Ziegler view their relationship as an asset. “Family businesses have unique opportunities and challenges, however, our partnership is very, very good,” David Ziegler said. In addition to his role at Ziegler’s Ace, David Ziegler, 57, serves as chairman of Oakbrook-based Ace Hardware Corp.’s board of directors, a position he’s held since 2008. Prior to that, he was an Ace board member for seven years. The board’s main job is to select the company’s CEO. Ace Hardware Corp. is the largest retailer-owned cooperative and a leader in the convenience segment of the hardware industry. It has 4,600 locally-owned and operated stores worldwide and annual retail sales of about $12 billion. Ace Hardware Corp. operates 15 distribution centers and has about 4,500 corporate employees, according to its website. As co-owners of Ziegler’s Ace, the cousins approach business decisions with solidarity. “My cousin and I get along extremely well,” Brian Ziegler, 61, said. “Our model is one of consensus – we move forward when we both agree.” That tack has helped Ziegler’s Ace

Business Journal preview This story appears in the McHenry County Business Journal, published this week. survive increased competition from big-box retailers and the Great Recession. The recession proved exceptionally difficult. “People just stopped spending,” David Ziegler said. Initially, the Zieglers hoped to ride it out. “We transitioned from hopeful optimism to realism,” said Brian Ziegler, who is the president of Ziegler’s Ace. “We delayed taking action until it become very clear we would have to make some changes.” In 2009, the Zieglers shuttered the West Dundee location. “Our company is solid and strong because we were able to be proactive rather than reactive,” Brian Ziegler said. Brian and David Ziegler have benefited from some of the communityminded policies established by their

predecessors. “The principles of the previous generations continue on in the way we do business today,” Brian Ziegler said. One of the benefits of running a private, family-owned company is having the freedom “to make decisions that aren’t based on the next quarter’s bottom line,” he added. Even more rewarding for the Zieglers is being part of the communities they serve. “We get to make a difference in the community and see the development, over many years, of our employee team members,” Brian Ziegler said. As the Zieglers approach retirement age, they are planning for the next phase of the family business. “We’ve taken some steps and are looking at plans for a more formal transition,” Brian Ziegler said. “We’re looking at the future and what role my cousin and I want to have and who might carry on the business.” They have brought in advisers to help with what could be a seven- to 10-year transition process, he added. David Ziegler said a fourth generation of the family has expressed interest in the business, though no decisions have yet been made about the future.

McHENRY – After 34 years in business, Barb’s Card & Gift plans to close its doors next month. Owner Rich Anderson notified more than 2,000 customers of the decision in an email Monday. A liquidation sale will start Thursday before the store is shuttered in mid-May. “Retail is changing rapidly and it makes it extremely difficult to offer the value and service that we always have offered,” Anderson said in a statement. “I have watched our retail market change and fewer and fewer locallyowned retailers can compete. We have had a very good run ... but now seems to be the time for us to close and look for that next challenge in life.” Sales at the store slumped when it lost its affiliation with card giant Hallmark in 2010. Located at 1918 N. Richmond Road in the McHenry Commons shopping center, the business was further hurt when several anchor tenants left. Anderson briefly considered selling the business more than a year ago before deciding to wind down operations. “We’ll miss our customers,” he said in an interview Monday. “After more than 30 years, it was time for a change.” Sisters Barb Hoyt and Dale Anderson started the business as Barb’s Hallmark in 1979 on Green Street in McHenry. They moved to McHenry Commons in 1987 to become the shopping center’s first tenants. For a time, it was a Hallmark Gold Crown store and among the top 10 percent of stores by sales in the Great Lakes region, Rich Anderson said. Many long-time customers remember the small dogs in the store that greeted them. Five dogs spent time in the store over the years. The most recent was Tobias, a miniature pinscher-chihuahua mix. “Customers would come in some days just to see the dogs,” Anderson said. “They wouldn’t even buy anything.” Anderson took over the business following the death of his mother, Dale Anderson, in 2005. He opened a second store in Wauconda in 2007. That store closed in February 2012. “That first year was great,” he said. But the economy turned and the card industry shifted. “In 2010 the business became Barb’s Card and Gift as a result of Hallmark changing its business model [and] focusing on discounters and big-box stores,”Anderson said in his message to customers. At its height, the business employed 14 people. Anderson said he now has four employees, two of whom he has helped find jobs at other stores. “From day one, my mom insisted that we focus on providing superior customer service,” Anderson said in the statement. “The type of personal service that is hard to find in today’s world.”

Ace Hardware names new president and CEO NORTHWEST HERALD OAK BROOK – John Venhuizen has been named as president and CEO of Ace Hardware Corp. Venhuizen’s appointment had been part of a strategic leadership transition that was announced last September.

Venhuizen.

momentum of the business, particularly with the launch of 2020 Vision. Ace’s board of directors is confident that Ace will grow and prosper under John’s passionate leadership.” Venhuizen holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a marketing concentration from Trinity Christian College; he resides in the western suburbs of Chicago.

8IN BRIEF U.S. manufacturing grew more slowly in March WASHINGTON – A survey shows U.S. manufacturing activity expanded more slowly in March than February, held back by weaker growth in production and new orders. But factories hired at the fastest pace in nine months, an encouraging sign ahead of Friday’s report on March employment. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its index of factory activity slipped to 51.3 percent. The index fell from 54.2 percent in February, which was the fastest growth since June 2011. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. The index has signaled growth for four straight months. But the drop in March growth was bigger than economists expected.

Hyundai Sonatas probed for suspension rust DETROIT – U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the rear suspension frames can rust and fail on Hyundai Sonata midsize cars. The probe affects about 393,000 cars from the 2006 through 2008 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received six complaints of suspension failures, with three happening at highway speeds, according to documents posted on its website on Friday. The investigation was opened on March 25. The agency says rust in the frame can cause control arm failures. A car’s wheel hubs are attached to the control arms. No crashes or injuries were reported but two of the failures activated the cars’ electronic stability control systems. Hyundai said in a statement Monday that it’s too early to draw conclusions about the complaints and that no safety defect has been found. The automaker said it is cooperating with NHTSA and will take necessary action to ensure its customers’ safety. In one complaint from the Pittsburgh area, the owner of a 2006 Sonata said the rear of the car swerved while it was being driven, and the electronic stability control light came on. The owner took the car to a mechanic, who found that the rear frame was corroded and cracked on sides, causing the rear tires to wear prematurely. The frame, tires, lower control arms and other suspension parts were replaced on the car, which had almost 160,000 miles on it. The agency says investigators will figure out if the problem is bad enough to cause a recall. Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor said in an email that any customers with issues should take their cars to a Hyundai dealer.

U.S. construction up 1.2 percent in February WASHINGTON – Spending on U.S. construction projects rebounded in February, helped by a surge in home construction, which rose to the highest level in more than four years. Construction spending rose 1.2 percent overall in February compared to January, when construction had dropped 2.1 percent, the Commerce Department reported Monday. Spending rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $885.1 billion, which was 7.9 percent higher than a year ago. The advance was led by a 2.2 percent rise in private residential construction, which climbed to an annual rate of $303.4 billion, the best showing since November 2008. Private nonresidential construction was up 0.4 percent while public construction rose 0.9 percent. Construction spending is expected to keep growing this year, fueled by more homebuilding and broader improvement in the economy.

We should be encouraging success The economic impact of recent increased taxes, particularly their impact on successful small businesses, is a major political issue. According to a Ernst and Young report “Long-Run Macroeconomic Impact of Increasing Tax Rates on High-Income Taxpayers in 2013,” the recent tax increases put in place would have long term negative effects on the economy, including cutting output by $200 billion and eliminating 710,000 jobs. Honestly, if one took the time to add up the total amount we all pay, taxes are just too high for almost everyone. But, the income equality gap notwithstanding, are the “rich” really paying their fair share? Well, according to a report from a 2012 Congressional Budget Office, they do. But first, who are the rich? I guess that depends on your perspective, but based on the Internal Revenue Service’s 2010 data, here’s what the top American households, on average, make: • Top 1 percent: $380,354

• Top 5 percent: $159,619 • Top 10 percent: $113,799 • Top 25 percent: $67,280 According to the 2012 CBO report, just on federal-level taxes alone the top 1 percent of income earners already have an effective tax rate of 29 percent. The top 20 percent have seen their after-tax share of total income fall, especially the top 1 percent, while the lower income groups have seen their share rise. I have one question. How did it become so in vogue, politically, to demonize success? We should be encouraging success, not resenting it or using it as a tool to divide one segment of our country against another. Finally, let’s remember that successful small businesses are the backbone of our country. In the article “Six Reasons to Love Small Business,” author Nellie Akalp writes: 1. Small business owners work tirelessly. Entrepreneurs and small business owners are used to working long hours. The latest SMB

CHAMBER NEWS Gary Reece Wellness Index from Manta found that small business owners are working longer hours than they have in the past. Nearly half (49 percent) said they worked more than 50 hours per week in 2012, compared to 40 percent in 2011, and 26 percent worked up to 60 hours a week in 2012, 14 percent worked up to 70 hours, and 9 percent admitted to working more than 70 hours a week. 2. Small businesses are the heart of the American economy. Small firms make up more than 99.7 percent of all employers, create more than 50 percent of the nonfarm private gross domestic product, make up 97 percent of exporters and produce 29 percent of all export value. 3. Small businesses spur job growth. It’s the small business engine that’s turning our economy around and putting our country back to work. Small businesses

employ half of all private sector employees and hire 43 percent of high-tech workers (scientists, engineers, computer programmers, and others). 4. Small business owners are gutsy. The bulk of small businesses are self-financed, with owners digging into their savings, home equity, stocks, 401(k)/retirement accounts, and credit cards to fund their business. This kind of bootstrapping makes a small business self-reliant, but it’s also risky as owners may stand to lose their entire wealth if the business fails. 5. Small businesses build relationships. Small businesses often share a uniquely genuine culture; after all, small business owners typically have a closer connection to their customers and marketplace and build strong relationships with their customers and community. 6. Small business owners are optimistic. The SMB Wellness Index from Manta found that more than 75 percent of the small business

owners polled are confident about their company’s growth prospects. *** Please welcome our newest members!

Their latest album, “Babel,” has sold more than 1 million copies. “They are going to make their victory lap at Lollapalooza this year,” Farrell said. The lineup includes Lollapalooza’s well-known mix of indie bands, singer-songwriters and country, hip-hop, rock and electronic acts. Musicians come from across the U.S. and the world, including countries like Australia, Brazil, Chile, Greece and Sweden.

Samardzija starts with gem PITTSBURGH – For two days, Jeff Samardzija did his best to keep his emotions in check, fearing that if too much excitement carried over to Monday’s Opening Day start, there could be trouble. He spent Easter Sunday relaxing and sat in the Cubs’ clubhouse Monday morning with music blaring through earbuds as he reviewed video clips of his last start against the Pirates on an iPad as teammates sat AP photo next to him on a leather couch Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija pitches in the second inning of Monday’s leisurely flipping through newspapers. season opener against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The Cubs won, 3-1.

INSIDE THE CUBS Jeff Arnold If there was any concerns over making his debut as the Cubs’ ace, they quickly disappeared – even after a shaky first inning when he walked the first batter he faced and Brent Lillibridge committed an error. Heck, even the weather didn’t faze Samardzija, who played high school baseball at Valparaiso High School before

transitioning to football at Notre Dame. “I remember being in high school and pitching in the snow and stuff,” he said after the Cubs’ 3-1 win over the Pirates. “It wasn’t that bad. The snow cleared up and the sun came out. It was a beautiful day to play baseball.” After emerging from the first inning unscathed, Samardzija settled in, pitching what manager Dale Sveum considered the best he has thrown as a starter.

OPENING DAY: WHITE SOX 1, ROYALS 0

SOX OFF AND RUNNING Sale stays calm, shuts down K.C. CHICAGO – White Sox pitcher Chris Sale walked to his locker room stall before Monday’s game, trying to prepare for his start as if it was any other. But while he sat in his black leather chair anxiously waiting for the clock to strike 3:10 p.m., Sale’s knee bounced in anticipation and the nerves started to settle in. Sale took the mound on a cool, but sunny day at U.S. Cellular Field against the Kansas City Royals for the first of what should be many Opening Day starts. With a five-year, $32.5 million contract signed, the 24-year-old lefty, the Sox’s fifthyoungest Opening Day starter, pitched 72/3 scoreless innings in a 1-0 win. Sale (1-0) became the first Sox pitcher to win his first Opening Day start since Mark Buehrle in 2002. “It was everything I thought it would be and more,” Sale

SOX INSIDER Meghan Montemurro said. “I thought I did a real good job of kind of collecting myself and not getting too amped up too early or too late and it ended up being a pretty good day.” The Royals (0-1) haven’t been easy outs for Sale the past three seasons. Entering Monday’s game, Sale owned a 3-3 record and 3.12 ERA against Kansas City. However, a more mature and complete pitcher was on the mound for the season opener. He scattered seven hits and struck out seven Royals while issuing only one walk. But more importantly, Sale pitched effectively using 104 pitches (72 strikes).

I know that because he’s talked to me about it. At some point, he will stop. And he’s not really going to be one to just fizzle out.” It’s not clear what comprises the opposite of a fizzle.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Rehabbing Danks eager to help Sox By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

The White Sox’s Tyler Flowers hits a home run off Kansas City Royals starting pitcher James Shields in the fifth inning of the Sox’s 1-0 win Monday at U.S. Cellular Field.

WHITE SOX

Flowers makes memories Catcher hits winning home run in first Opening Day start By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com On a day where runs came at a premium, leave it to the player who was behind the plate all day to take advantage of a pitch that missed its location. White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers broke the tie game when he took a 2-2 pitch from Royals pitcher James Shields over the left-field wall for the game’s first and only run. “He goes out there and called a great game and the one mistake that Shields threw, he hit it out of the ballpark,” Sox manage Robin Ventura said. The catcher went 1 for 3 at the plate, including the towering 389-foot home run off Shields in the top of the fifth inning. “It ends up being a 1-0 game, so this is definitely going to be one of the most special games I’ve had and probably will have,” Flowers said. Along with providing the offensive spark, Flowers said that separating his offense and defense has been something that he has really worked on. It showed as he played great defensively while handling a very good, hard-throwing

“It ends up being a 1-0 game, so this is deinitely going to be one of the most special games I’ve had and probably will have.” Tyler Flowers White Sox catcher pitching staff in the first game of what will be his first season as a starter. Flowers caught starting pitcher Chris Sale, and they were on the same page throughout the game. Sale, who said he had some nerves entering his first Opening Day start, went 72/3 innings while scattering seven hits and allowing no runs. The 24-year-old Sale credited Flowers in helping to keep him calm in the game’s biggest moments. “The biggest thing was to maintain a sense of calmness and take some deep breaths in big situations,” said Sale, specifically of the seventh and eighth innings. “I remember Tyler, fans were standing up and we had two outs and he just said ‘this is just another pitch in the game’ and it was key to maintain your

calmness throughout the game.” In his time as a backup to former Sox catcher A. J. Pierzynski, Flowers was said to have a knack for handling the pitching staff during his spot starts and it showed Monday night. “I just try to do my homework and be as prepared as I can,” Flowers said. “Sale had the confidence in me, he didn’t check me off one time which is great for me because it’s all on me then. When we win, I get some credit and when we lose, I get some blame. I like that.” The Sox felt comfortable letting Pierzynski go to free agency at the end of last season even after a career year in part because of Flowers’ play. The club, and general manager Rick Hahn, felt that he could handle the dayto-day grind of the job. For sure, Flowers was a main reason the Sox were able to win Monday’s one-run game. “It’s a matter of being comfortable with how things are fitting,” said Hahn of the new additions to the team “With what (Jeff) Keppinger brings to the lineup and with Tyler behind the plate working with our pitchers as well as his offensive approach, we entered this optimistic and we feel good about it.”

CHICAGO – On Opening Day a year ago, left-hander John Danks walked out of the Texas Rangers’ visiting dugout and headed to the mound to start the White Sox’s first game. On Monday, Danks’ Opening Day wasn’t one he will want to remember. Danks, who is on the 15-day disabled list, is recovering from left shoulder surgery and won’t be rejoining the rotation anytime soon. Danks heads to Arizona today for extended spring training and will throw Thursday. He pitched Friday against the Rangers minor league squad, and Danks said he felt good. Arm strength and velocity are two areas that Danks still needs to improve before he is brought back. “I’m ready to be healthy and put all this behind me and ready to be a part of the team again,” Danks said. “This rehab process, in the grand scheme of things, I’m not that far out of surgery, but it feels like I’ve been out for years now. I’m going to do everything I can to get back as soon as possible, but in the grand scheme of things, we’re at the mercy of my shoulder. So when that’s ready, I’m ready.” General manager Rick Hahn said the Sox will not put a timeline for Danks’ return. Once the Sox believe Danks is sufficiently healthy he will head out for a rehab assignment. “Unfortunately, when you are dealing with a pitcher’s shoulder, there isn’t a linear path from surgical date to return to the rotation,” Hahn

said. “As he sits right now, he feels good which is a positive and he’s going to continue to work on some things mechanically and with his command.” High expectations: Manager Robin Ventura doesn’t usually make any bold claims or predictions. But the second-year skipper has plenty of confidence in this year’s team after the Sox fell short of the playoffs, losing their first-place lead in the American League Central during the final two weeks of the season. Asked for his expectations, Ventura said, “I want to get to the playoffs.” “I’ve been on a team where you didn’t really expect to get to the playoffs and this is not that team,” Ventura said. “For us coming in here, there’s more potential in this team than we had last year as far as the players and what they do and how good they should be this year. I think they all should have better years than they had last year.”

Unfavorable baseball weather: The Sox are happy a long spring training is over, but the weather conditions in Chicago aren’t ideal for baseball. At first pitch Monday against the Royals, it was 44 degrees with 12 mph wind forcing the starters on both teams to wear long-sleeved turtlenecks. By the end of the week, it should warm up and hit nearly 60 degrees, much to the relief of the Sox pitchers. “It takes a little bit of time to get loose,” pitcher Jake Peavy said. “You just gotta prepare and give yourself a little bit of extra time to get loose. In between innings, we’ll come inside and try to stay in some warm weather to try to stay loose and limber.”

Change-up crucial to Sale’s success Konerko starts in 13th straight opener • SOX Continued from page C1 The Sox (1-0) provided Sale just enough offense, courtesy of catcher Tyler Flowers’ fifth-inning home run off James Shields (0-1), and Addison Reed picked up his first save. “There’s a lot of hype around this [Opening Day start] and sometimes if you get too hyped up or get too many thoughts going in your mind, it can get derailed on you real quick,” Sale said. Sale’s change-up was as impressive as it has been since he joined the Sox in 2010. Averaging 10 mph slower than the fastballs Kansas City hitters faced, Sale kept the Royals off balance using a pitch that was rarely his first choice in key situations last season. Of the 21 change-ups he threw, 16 were strikes, and the only one hit into play came against the last batter he faced, Alcides Escobar, in the eighth. The pitch complements his 94 mph fastball and one of the best sliders in the game. “I was trying to calm him down because I could see it starting to happen,” Flowers said of Sale. “He was getting

Monday’s White Sox timeline 3:04 p.m. – Bo Jackson tosses out ceremonial first pitch. High fastball. 3:12 – First real pitch of the season. Ball outside. 3:54 – Chris Sales pitches from the windup with bases loaded. Francoeur on third has huge lead down the line. 4:06 – Adam Dunn strikes out looking for the first time of a probable many this season. 4:18 – Ball boy showing good hustle to retrieve the ball that Alexei Ramirez just fouled off his foot. 4:24 – Sox turn first double play of the season, 6-4-3. 4:26 – Sale breaks the second bat of the game. The bat shards landed in front of Konerko at first. 4:30 – Flowers really hustles around the bases after his home run. Henry Rowengartner would have a tough time throwing him out from the left-field bleachers. 5:06 – Third broken bat of the game and this time it is Gordon Beckham’s. Somewhere, a tree quivers. 5:31 – No one has brought the Royals third baseman Moustakas his hat or mitt after his inning-ending strikeout. Doesn’t get to take warmups as Herrera already finished warming. 5:37 – Fans boo Dunn after his second strikeout. That didn’t take long. 5:50 – Sox win, 1-0. – Patrick Mason quicker in between pitches, his windup gets quicker and then he starts leaving stuff over the plate. I was calming him down – he made good pitches, Escobar made a good piece of hitting on that ball.” Jake Peavy, who has taken to mentoring Sale, said his young teammate is “hands down” the No. 1 pitcher on the Sox’s staff, saying “We’re going to lean on Chris and we

need him to have a big year if we’re going to be who we want to be.” • Meghan Montemurro covers the White Sox and Cubs for Shaw Media. Write to her at mmontemurro@ shawmedia.com. Read the Sox Insider and Inside the Cubs blogs at NWHerald.com and on Twitter @Sox_Insider and @InsideTheCubs.

• MUSICK Continued from page C1 “I just remember after that series, we got home at like 8 in the morning because we played a night game,” Konerko said. “It was light out. We were driving home from Midway Airport in the morning in rush-hour traffic coming into the city. That was a lot of fun.” Every year, the traffic gets worse. Every year, Konerko seems to get better. But nobody can play forever. Including Monday, 15 season openers have passed since Konerko joined the Sox via trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Konerko has more at-bats (55), hits (22) and RBIs (15) during Opening Day games than some players accumulate in a season. Not even Konerko could deny that 15 season openers with the Sox, including a team-record 13 consecutive starts at first base, was a big deal. “I’m probably most proud of that as far as from a personal standpoint,” Konerko said. That’s pretty impressive when you consider some of

Konerko’s other numbers: 2,183 hits, 422 home runs, 1,336 RBIs and six All-Star selections. “Any statistic I have, anything you can throw out there, someone else has done it or someone else is doing it,” Konerko said. “There’s so many guys that are good in this game and way better than I’ve been. But I take pride in that [Opening Day] number because that number gets real small when you start breaking it down.” Naturally, Konerko doesn’t want to break down whether this is his final tour with the Sox. He speaks in five-minute filibusters about staying focused on today. But Konerko’s contract will expire at the end of the season. He could decide to call it quits. He might choose to play closer to his home in Arizona. He could join a big-payroll World Series contender. He could return to the Sox. Regardless, Konerko isn’t talking about The End. He claims not to think about it, either. “Not really,” said Konerko, who was showered with chants of “Paul-ie, Paulie,” as he stepped to the plate

in the eighth inning. “Every now and again, I get asked questions like that, so then I have to think about it.” The Sox and Konerko have gone down this road before. After the Sox won the World Series in 2005, Konerko spent a month as a free agent before re-signing with the team. The same thing happened after the 2010 season. Rick Hahn was part of the Sox front office on both occasions. “I think at least on one of those occasions we ran the tribute video in his last atbat,” said Hahn, now general manager. “I’m sure we’ll do that at the end of this season. “Each time, we’ve been able to work something out. It’s been a matter at the end of the season sitting down with Paul and hearing where his thoughts are and our thoughts are and being able to come to some sort of agreement.” On one topic, every Sox fan can agree. Opening Day is better with Konerko in the lineup. • Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @ tcmusick.

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press WASHINGTON – All it took was two at-bats on his first Opening Day in the majors for Bryce Harper to hit two homers – and hear some “M-V-P!” chants. The Washington Nationals’ other recent No. 1 overall draft pick, Stephen Strasburg, did his part, too, getting 19 consecutive outs at one stretch of his seven scoreless innings. Yes, for the NL East champion Nationals – and their fans who lived through some tough times not that long ago – the present and future could hardly have looked brighter in a 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday, Game 1 of a season lameduck manager Davey Johnson declared months ago should be defined as “World Series or bust.” “You couldn’t draw it up any better,” Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche said. “And to have the two youngsters go out, do what they did? ... Let Harper and Stras go to work. They didn’t need us.” Harper, the 20-year-old left fielder coming off NL Rookie of the Year honors, hit solo shots over the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field off Ricky Nolasco in the first and fourth innings. He sprinted around the bases both times, and after his second trip, he climbed back out of the dugout for a curtain call, pumping his right fist. “You just shake your head in amazement. You don’t see that too often from anybody, period. But to see him as a 20-year-old? He’s just writing a book right now,” new Nationals center fielder Denard Span said. “And he does it so calm, too.” It was Harper’s first taste of a season’s start in the big leagues; he began last year in the minors before getting called up later in April. “Pretty special moment,” Harper said. “If I was 0 for 4, or 4 for 4, it wouldn’t have mattered to me. Just going out there having some fun on opening day for the first time.”

CUBS NOTES

Epstein wants movement on Wrigley Field improvements By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com PITTSBURGH – Theo Epstein believes it’s time for the Cubs to start moving in the right direction, but he said Monday that involves making improvements to Wrigley Field. Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts had imposed an April 1 deadline for a deal to be in place. Ricketts did not travel to Pittsburgh with the team, electing to stay in Chicago to try to work out a deal on what would be a five-year improvement pan. Ricketts has said he is willing to invest $500 million into renovating the historic ballpark. Epstein, the Cubs’ president of baseball operations, said before Monday’s 3-1 win over the Pirates that he talks with Ricketts and team business president Crane Kenney a couple of times a week. He’s not, however, on the “front lines” of the discussions between the Cubs and the rooftop owners. “I think it’s fundamentally important to get to the next level as an organization,” Epstein said Monday. “We have a baseball plan and we have a business plan, and they’re timed to sync up with one another, they’re interdependent. “If we don’t get our Wrigley renovation done in a timely manner and done the right way, then we can’t accomplish our business objectives and that will cer-

MLB ROUNDUP

Dodgers’ Kershaw hits home run, beats Giants The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Clayton Kershaw launched his first career home run to break a scoreless tie in the eighth inning Monday, then finished off a four-hitter that led the Los Angeles Dodgers past the San Francisco Giants, 4-0, in the season opener for both teams. Kershaw became the first pitcher to throw a shutout and hit a home run in an opener since Bob Lemon for Cleveland in 1953, STATS said. Kershaw struck out seven, walked none and retired World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval on a grounder to end it. Mets 11, Padres 2: At New York, Jonathon Niese stepped nicely into his new role as No. 1 starter for the Mets, and Collin Cowgill capped a successful New York debut with a grand slam in the Mets’ rout of San Diego.

Brewers 5, Rockies 4 (10 inn.): At Milwaukee, Jonathan Lucroy hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give Milwaukee a victory over Colorado, ruining the first game for new Rockies manager Walt Weiss. Rickie Weeks sparked the winning rally when he stole second after he was hit by a pitch with one out. Adam Ottavino then issued an intentional walk to Ryan Braun and lost Ar-

amis Ramirez to another walk before Lucroy ended the game with a fly ball to center field. Braves 7, Phillies 5: At Atlanta, Freddie Freeman drove in three runs with three hits, including the first of three Atlanta home runs, and Atlanta beat Cole Hamels and Philadelphia. Dan Uggla and Justin Upton, making his Braves debut, also homered for Atlanta, which led NL teams with 49 in spring training.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Tigers 4, Twins 2: At Minneapolis, Justin Verlander won on Opening Day for the first time in six tries, pitching five shutout innings at frosty Target Field and sending defending AL champion Detroit past Minnesota.

Red Sox 8, Yankees 2: At New York, newcomer Shane Victorino led a revamped Boston lineup with three RBIs, and rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. walked three times and scored twice in his big league debut.

INTERLEAGUE Angels 3, Reds 1 (13 inn.): At Cincinnati, Chris Iannetta hit a solo homer and a bases-loaded single in the 13th inning, powering Los Angeles to a victory over Cincinnati in the majors’ first interleague season opener.

tainly get in the way of us ultimately accomplishing our baseball objectives, so it’s very important.” Closing time: Carlos Marmol’s debut lasted all of four hitters after he entered the game in the bottom of the ninth inning after starter Jeff Samardzija was effective and efficient in eight innings. After striking out Garrett Jones, Marmol hit a batter, allowed an RBI single and then walked Gaby Sanchez to put the tying runs on base. Relievers James Russell and Kyuji Fujikawa closed out the win, mopping up for Marmol. But despite Marmol’s struggles, manager Dale Sveum doesn’t plan to make any changes. “He’s still the closer,” Sveum said. “We’re not making any changes or anything like that. He just didn’t have it today.” Marmol said after Monday’s game he feels good and that Monday’s showing won’t rattle his confidence. He admitted being “a little surprised” when Sveum pulled him after only one-third of an inning. “That’s what it is – you have to throw strikes whether it’s a close game or whatever,” Marmol said. “The good part is that we won today.” Going deep: First baseman Anthony Rizzo delivered the biggest offensive blow for the Cubs with a 438-foot home

run on the first pitch he saw from Pirates starter A.J. Burnett. The two-run shot, which splashed into the Allegheny River after clearing the right center bleachers, was not only the first of the season, but the first of the spring. Rizzo went homerless during spring training. He said his power slump drew ridicule from his teammates. He said afterward that he didn’t remember the pitch or where the ball went. “I just kind of blacked out,” Rizzo said. “It was just one of those things where the game sped up, it’s Opening Day. A lot of emotions and you’re just trying to keep your composure. It was a good feeling.” Extra hits: The Cubs placed second baseman Darwin Barney on the 15-day disabled list after he suffered a deep cut on his knee while trying to track down a foul ball in Houston. Barney said he made contact with a concrete slab on the wall and didn’t know how serious the gash was until he returned to the clubhouse. Sveum wouldn’t commit to a replacement for Barney, saying he’ll “wing it.” Brent Lillibridge and Alberto Gonzalez made appearances at second Monday... Edwin Jackson makes his regular-season debut Wednesday after an off-day today... The Cubs won despite striking out 15 times – including 10 times against starter A.J. Burnett – and going 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.

Samardzija pitches 8 shutout innings • CUBS Continued from page C1 The final numbers backed Sveum’s evaluation: eight innings pitched, no runs, two hits, a walk and nine strikeouts. Certainly, Anthony Rizzo’s two-run home run provided Samardzija some room for error. But clearly Monday, he didn’t need it, especially from a couple of solid defensive plays from second baseman Lillibridge and shortstop Starlin Castro. “I just had to trust my stuff,” he said. “I thought it was probably one of the best pitched games I’ve thrown. I didn’t have the best stuff that I’ve had, but I thought I worked both sides of the plate up and down and really attacked their hitters with our game plan. “It was just nice to have that confidence.” Samardzija was effective with a two-seam fastball and gained more control of his off-speed pitches as the day progressed. His best three innings may have come during the third, fourth and fifth innings when Samardzija retired nine straight batters and struck out five. Samardzija finished the day with 110 pitches before handing the ball to the Cubs bullpen to finish the job. Sveum said he never considered sending Samardzija back in to attempt a complete game, saying he pitched “a heck of a game” and that there was no reason to send him back in after striking out two of the three Pitts-

Monday’s Cubs timeline 10:50 a.m. – Cubs players snap photos from dugout steps of falling snow as grounds crew workers cover the infield with tarp. Opening Day in the Northeast on April 1. 1:22 p.m. – Violinist Noah Bendix-Bagley of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs orchestral versions of “God Bless America” and the national anthem. Good way not to forget the words. 1:46 p.m. – Cubs’ first baseman Anthony Rizzo launches A.J. Burnett fastball into the Allegheny River. Given the way starter Jeff Samardzija pitched, it wasn’t even close to being the biggest splash of the day. 2:45 p.m. – Pirates grounds crew drags the infield for the first time. With the way the weather started Monday, they were lucky they weren’t shoveling snow. 3:25 p.m. – With Pirates’ offense struggling, home crowd erupts for the Great Pierogi race. Pirates lose, but the race was a photo finish. 3:50 p.m. – Seventh-inning stretch. Fans in Pittsburgh are better singers than they are at Wrigley Field – and by the sound of it, much less inebriated. 4:23 p.m. – Cubs closer Carlos Marmol emerges from the bullpen, prepared to take the mound. He walks to the dugout nine minutes later after struggling with the four batters he faced. 4:42 p.m. – Kyuji Fujikawa closes out the Cubs’ 3-1 victory on two pitches much to the delight of the Japanese media in the PNC Field press box. First sign this year of a white flag with a ‘W’ on it. 5 p.m. – Manager Dale Sveum announces Marmol is still the closer. Twitter explodes from angry Cubs fans, who can’t take another 161 games of this. 5:15 p.m. – Marmol addresses media, says he feels fine. Cubs fans still seething. – Jeff Arnold burgh hitters he faced in the eighth. Samardzija, who pitched a complete game at PNC Park in his final start last year, said closer Carlos Marmol’s ninth-inning struggles didn’t concern him, referring to the Cubs’ bullpen as “strong”, saying he’s got “tons of confidence” in the relievers. After Monday’s outing, the confidence level around Samardzija skyrocketed. After finishing 9-13 last season in his first year as a starter, Samardzija is ready to prove

he’s ready to take the next step. Monday was a good start. “Samardzija pitched his butt off,” Rizzo said. “That’s just him being him. He’s a horse and whenever he pitches, that’s what we can expect from him.” • Write to Northwest Herald reporter Jeff Arnold at jarnold@shawmedia.com.

PR grad Heesch to pitch for Cougars

Huntley rallies for softball victory NORTHWEST HERALD

NORTHWEST HERALD Prairie Ridge graduate Michael Heesch will not be far from home for the start of this baseball season. Heesch, taken by the Cubs in the eighth round of last year’s Baseball Amateur Draft, will start the season with the Kane County Cougars, the Cubs’ Single-A Midwest League affiliate. This is the first season the Cubs’ team will play in Geneva. Heesch pitched on Prairie Ridge’s 2008 Class 4A state championship team. Heesch, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound left-hander, started his college career at NCAA Division I Illinois-Chicago and finished at NAIA South CarolinaBeaufort. Between his performances at Beaufort and in summer leagues, Heesch drew interest from major league scouts. Heesch was 9-3 with a 2.21 ERA and helped Beaufort to the NAIA World Series last season. He was the Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year. Heesch was 9-0 with a 2.79 ERA, along with 57 strikeouts and nine walks in 611/3 innings for Gastonia in the Coastal Plain League.

JACK PARDEE: 1936-2013

Pardee was ‘Junction Boy’ under Bryant, coached Bears By CHRIS DUNCAN The Associated Press HOUSTON – Jack Pardee, one of Bear Bryant’s “Junction Boys” at Texas A&M who went on to become an All-Pro linebacker and an NFL coach, including with the Bears, died Monday. He was 76. In November, Pardee’s family announced that he had gall bladder cancer that had spread to other organs and that he had six to nine months to live. The family has established a memorial scholarship fund in Pardee’s name at the University of Houston, where Pardee coached from 1987-89. “Today, we mourn the passing of a great man who dedicated his life to the game of football and was a true gentleman in every sense of the word,” Houston athletic director Mack Rhoades said. “It was not a coincidence that success followed coach and his teams wherever he worked, and the University of Houston program was blessed to have him lead our football program during some of our most exciting times.” Pardee was born in Iowa and moved to west-central Texas as a teenager. He played six-man football at Christoval High School before moving on to Texas A&M. Bryant became the Aggies’ coach in 1954 and moved their preseason camp to desolate Junction, about 100 miles northwest of San Antonio. The state endured a severe drought and an historic heat wave that year, but Bryant worked his team through the brutal conditions and refused to allow water breaks in an effort to toughen players. Pardee was one of 35 players who made it through to the end of the 10-day camp without quitting. Pardee played three seasons at Texas A&M and was the 14th overall pick in the 1957 NFL draft by Los Angeles. He played for the Rams from 1957-64, sat out a year to deal with melanoma, and played seven more seasons. He finished his playing career with the Washington Redskins in 1973 and coached the team from 1978-80. “He will be remembered not just as a linebacker for the 1972 NFC Champions, nor as just the coach for our franchise. He will be remembered as someone whose spirit truly embodied the values that we associate with the burgundy and gold.” Before the NFL, Pardee coached in the World Football League. He was the Bears’ head coach from 1975-77, guiding them to their first playoff appearance in 14 years in 1977, moved to the Redskins and was fired after Washington went 6-10.

Cary-Grove’s Daniel Vilardo slides safely into second as Lake Zurich’s Joey Holtz misses the throw in the second inning Monday in Lake Zurich. C-G won, 13-10.

CARY-GROVE 13, LAKE ZURICH 10

Trojans prevail after losing lead 5-run edge evaporates before rally By BILL PEMSTEIN sportsdesk@nwherald.com Cary-Grove right-fielder Zach Marszal evidently grew tired of watching balls sail over his head in the bitter cold in Lake Zurich. So he dropped a hit into right field in his team’s seventh-inning rally. Cary (41) blew an early five-run lead but came out ahead with a 13-10 nonconference victory over the Bears. Marszal picked up the play by play of his key two-run hit. “He (Lake Zurich pitcher Derek Kornfeind) made me look bad with a curveball,’’ Marszal said. “And I got it and dropped it in.’’ Marszal, who plans to play next year at McHenry County College, managed to put the freezing weather out of his mind. “I tried to keep warm in the dugout,’’ he said. “But this was an exciting game with a lot of runs.” C-G coach Don Sutherland was expecting a low-scoring game because of the conditions. By the bottom of the second, however, the Trojans had already put up seven runs. A six-run second was engineered by two hit batters, two errors, a bases loaded walk, a Marszal sacrifice fly and a two-run double off the bat of center fielder Brandon

McCumber. “It was cold but the game was good,’’ Sutherland said. “We had some timely hitting, that makes a difference.” Lake Zurich’s big inning was the third. By the time the fifth hitter of the frame had come to plate, there were four runs on the board, courtesy of two homers and two doubles. Heading to the fourth, Lake Zurich claimed a 8-7 advantage. Lake Zurich took a 9-7 lead to the sixth inning. C-G put up three runs in the sixth. There were doubles from Dean Lee and McCumber. Dean Christakes checked in a clutch hit and balk led to those three runs as the Trojans reclaimed the lead at 10-9. Again the Bears answered back knotting this game at 10-10. Shortstop Jeremy Vasquez began the final rally with a one-out single in the seventh. McCumber (4 hits) followed Marszal’s hit, extending the lead to three runs. And when Lake Zurich opened the home half with a pair of walks, Sutherland reached for hard-throwing Andrew Splitt. He provided good news for the visitors by turning a force play at third. Splitt added a strikeout to earn the save. The Trojans play Tuesday at Carmel.

Randi Peterson doubled in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning for Huntley in a come from behind, 3-2, nonconference win at home against Belvidere North on Monday. After taking a 1-0 lead in the fifth, Huntley gave up two runs in the top of the sixth before coming back to win with two runs in the seventh. Haley Spannraft (1-0) struck out nine, allowed three hits and did not give up an earned run to get the victory for Huntley. Also for the Red Raiders (1-0), Jessica Shield went 2 of 4 with an RBI and Brittany Koss had three stolen bases and scored a run.

BASEBALL Jacobs 10, Palatine 4: At Palatine, the Golden Eagles got three RBIs from Grant Kale and three hits and three runs from leadoff man Ben Murray in their nonconference victory over the Pirates. Jon Berndt drove in two runs and Conner Conzelman hit a solo homer for Jacobs (30), which scored five times in the second inning. Fremd 4, CL Central 1: At Palatine, Connor Skrypek went 2 of 3 and doubled for the Tigers (11) in a nonconference loss. Harlem 10, McHenry 7: At McHenry, Cole Hoeppel-Tranter hit two doubles and drove in three runs for the Warriors (43) in a nonconference loss. Huntley 17, Boylan 1 (5 inn.): At Rockford, Matt Sullivan homered, drove in three runs and scored three for the Red Raiders in a nonconference win. Colin Lyman, Kam Sallee and Tommy Kiriakopolus also homered for Huntley.

BOYS TENNIS McHenry 7, Grant 0: At McHenry, Jack Maher won at No. 1 singles to lead the Warriors to the nonconference sweep. Also for McHenry (1-0), Dennis Quitalig and Nick Higgin won at No. 1 doubles. Fremd 6, Jacobs 1: At Palatine, Kailash Panchapakesan came back from a 3-0 deficit in the second set to win, 7-5, 7-6 (73) at No. 1 singles for the Golden Eagles’ only win. • Rob Smith and Joe Stevenson contributed to this report.

Raiders acquire QB Flynn from Seahawks ALAMEDA, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders acquired Seattle backup quarterback Matt Flynn on Monday for draft picks, signaling an end to Carson Palmer’s brief tenure as starter in Oakland. Fox Sports reported Palmer was expected to be dealt to Arizona. The Raiders paid a hefty price when they acquired Palmer from Cincinnati midway through the 2011 season, trading a 2012 first-round draft pick and 2013 secondrounder for the former Pro Bowler. They now will move on from Palmer before they have even finished paying up on the trade. Oakland will send a fifthround pick in 2014 and a conditional pick in 2015 to Seattle for Flynn. The Raiders also will receive a late-round pick from Arizona if the deal for Palmer is completed.

With the win, the Hawks improved to 27-5-3 and a league-leading 57 points, one more than Pittsburgh. The Hawks played again without two of their top forwards, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp, who are out with upper-body injuries. Hossa missed his sixth game and Sharp sat out his 11th. Hawks center Dave Bolland and Nashville left wing Gabriel Bourque left Monday’s games with injuries. Bolland originally went to the dressing room briefly midway through the first period after blocking a shot by Nashville defenseman Shea Weber. Following a faceoff in the Hawks zone, Weber’s drive from

the point struck Bolland in the abdomen, but he returned minutes later for two more shifts in the first. Bolland then left again following two shifts in the second. The Predators said Bourque suffered an upper-body injury. Saad opened the scoring on a screened shot with 11.3 seconds left in the first following a faceoff in the Nashville zone. Toews won the draw, pulling it back to Niklas Hjalmarsson at the right point. He passed to Saad, who fired low from midway down the right boards with Toews and Nashville defenseman Jonathon Blum tied up at the edge of the crease.

CLEVELAND – The Browns have discarded another quarterback. Colt McCoy, who became expendable when Cleveland signed veteran free agent quarterback Jason Campbell last week, was traded Monday to the San Francisco 49ers. The team only said the Browns received two “undisclosed” draft choices, but a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press the Browns got fifth- and seventhround pick in this month’s NFL draft in exchange for McCoy and Cleveland’s sixth-round pick.

Texas Tech to name Tubby Smith coach LUBBOCK, Texas – Tubby Smith is headed to Texas Tech to try to turn around another wayward program. Smith, recently fired by Minnesota, agreed to terms Monday with Texas Tech to be its next coach, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made.

NCAA battles ex-players’ lawsuit

By PAUL ELIAS The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Former UCLA standout Ed O’Bannon is watching the NCAA men’s basketball tournament with mixed emotions. There’s the love for the game and the tournament itself – he led his UCLA Bruins to the 1995 championship with 30 points and 17 rebounds and earned the most outstanding player award. But then there’s the commercial side of things. “Everybody’s getting paid except for the players,” O’Bannon said recently in a phone interview from Las Vegas. “It’s not fair, and it needs to change.” Four years ago, O’Bannon filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and the video game maker EA Sports seeking compensation after recognizing an avatar in the company’s March Madness game that he says was created in his image. Since then, the lawsuit has blossomed into one of the biggest legal threats the NCAA has faced over the issue of paying student athletes who attract billions of dollars in revenue annually, and the latest court filing from the NCAA weeks ago highlights how much is at stake. Athletes who play collegiate sports at a high level, as O’Bannon did, do so without compensation and sign documents, including the so-called form 08-3a, giving the NCAA and its member institutions the rights to use their images and likenesses to “promote NCAA championships or other NCAA events, activities or programs.” O’Bannon and other former student athletes, including basketball legends Oscar Robertson and Bill Russell, who filed the lawsuit are seeking to require the NCAA to share in the skyrocketing revenues earned from TV deals, video games, marketing schemes and other money-generating ventures using their images and likenesses. If they succeed, it would force the NCAA to essentially pay student athletes for the first time in its 107-year history. The lawsuit proposes that former players receive direct payments, while current athletes could tap a trust fund once

Former athletes such as UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon, the NCAA basketball tournament’s most outstanding player in 2005, and others argue they are entitled to share in the spoils earned from their labors. their playing days are done. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges the NCAA and its member schools have unfairly and illegally fixed the value of every player’s commercial rights at zero. The lawsuit claims the NCAA and colleges do this by requiring every student athlete to sign forms agreeing to pay without compensation and giving all commercial rights to the NCAA. “I filed the lawsuit because the system isn’t working,” said O’Bannon, who is a manager of a Toyota car dealership in Las Vegas. So far, the judge has turned down every NCAA attempt to toss out the case, including earlier this year. For its part, the NCAA is steadfast in its position that student-athletes are prohibited from receiving payment for participating in sports. The NCAA argues that whatever revenues it earns are used for the benefit of its member schools and students, including those who have filed the lawsuit. It argues that paying players would sound the death knell of amateur athletics. “The NCAA is not exploiting current or former student-athletes but instead provides enormous benefit to them and to the public,” said Donald Remy, the NCAA’s top lawyer. “This case has always been wrong – wrong on the facts and wrong on the law.”

In its latest court filing in March, the NCAA submitted more than 2,000 pages of legal arguments and statements from university administrators urging a judge to block the players’ attempts to turn the lawsuit into a class action. If that happens and the lawsuit prevails, the NCAA’s financial exposure could reach into the billions of dollars to compensate former players since 2005 while having to share revenues going forward with current and future athletes. Wake Forest University President Nathan Hatch said the school’s football and men’s basketball programs help fund the entire athletic department. Hatch said Wake may drop out of the NCAA’s top football division if forced to share revenues with players. “Instituting a pay-for-play model, even if the payments are deferred until after graduation, would change the nature of the relationship Wake Forest has with its football and men’s basketball studentathletes,” Hatch said in a statement submitted to the judge. “It would, essentially, turn those teams into professional squads. That would not be acceptable to Wake Forest.” U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken has scheduled a hearing in June to consider the class action request.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL HISTORY 1931 — Virne Beatrice “Jackie” Mitchell, the first woman in professional baseball, pitched against the New York Yankees in an exhibition game in Chattanooga. Babe Ruth waved wildly at the first two pitches and took a third strike. Lou Gehrig timed his swing to miss three straight pitches. Tony Lazzeri, after trying to bunt, walked and Mitchell left the game. 1952 — Hall of Fame outfielder Monte Irvin of the New York Giants broke his ankle in an exhibition game. Irvin played just 46 games that season. 1984 — The New York Mets lost to the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 for their first opening day defeat in 10 years. 1996 — St. Francis of Illinois pummeled Robert Morris 71-1 in a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference game that was surrendered after four innings by

Robert Morris coach Gerald McNamara. 1997 — For the first time, the salary of one player — Albert Belle — exceeded the payroll of an entire team — the Pittsburgh Pirates. Belle, the game’s highestpaid player for 1997 at $10 million, made $928,333 more than the whole Pirates payroll, which totaled $9,071,667. 2001 — Roger Clemens became the AL strikeout king, getting five to pass Walter Johnson as the Yankees beat Kansas City 7-3 in their season opener. Clemens fanned Joe Randa for his 3,509th career strikeout. 2003 — Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to hit 300 home runs, connecting for a three-run drive in the Texas Rangers’ 11-5 loss to the Anaheim Angels. Rodriguez at 27 years, 249 days old, surpassed Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx (27 years, 328 days). 2003 — The Detroit Tigers became the first team to have four pitchers make

their major league debuts in the same game — Jeremy Bonderman, Wilfredo Ledezma, Chris Spurling and Matt Roney. The Tigers lost 8-1 to the Minnesota Twins. 2007 — Tampa Bay’s Elijah Dukes homered in his first big league at-bat in a 9-5 loss to the New York Yankees. 2011 — Ian Kinsler of Texas became the first major leaguer ever with leadoff homers in each of his team’s first two games. Kinsler hit the first of four homers by the Rangers in a 12-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox. 2012 — Matt Cain and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a $127.5 million, six-year contract, the largest deal for a right-handed pitcher in baseball history.

McDermott repeats as AP All-American Big Ten’s Burke, Oladipo also on 1st team ally pleased.” So was his coach, and father. “I’m just really proud of the season that he was able to put together,” Greg McDermott said. “On one hand he was able to consistently put up incredible numbers on a team that won a lot of games. At the end of the day I know that was most important to Doug.” Burke and Porter both received 62 first-team votes and 319 points from the same 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Voting was on a 5-3-1 basis and was completed before the NCAA tournament. Oladipo got 58 first-team votes and 306 points. McDermott had 44 first-team votes and 279 points, one more than Olynyk’s total points. The Gonzaga junior got 47 firstteam votes. Burke, a 6-0 sophomore point guard, had an impressive individual season while running a team that at times had four freshmen on the court with him. “That’s like a quarterback that’s got his offensive tackle’s a freshman, his wide receiver is a freshman, and his running back is a freshman, and he still leads them to wins,” said Wolverines coach John Beilein, using an analogy from the sport his school loves. “So he’s taken a lot on as far as leadership. Quiet leadership now, but it’s been huge for us.” Burke averaged 19.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists and shot 40.1 percent on 3-point attempts. He is Michigan’s fifth All-American and first since Chris Webber in 1993.

Louisville players celebrate on the bench during in the final minutes of the second half of the Midwest Regional final against Duke in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday in Indianapolis. Louisville won, 85-63, to advance to the Final Four.

MEN’S FINAL FOUR

Louisville a ‘sure thing’ Cards only remaining No. 1 seed with two 4s, a 9 By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press The word of the season: Parity. The team of the moment: Louisville. For a college basketball season in which it seemed anybody could beat anybody, and the No. 1 ranking was never secure, Rick Pitino’s Cardinals have certainly cemented themselves as a prohibitive front-runner now that there are only four teams left. They head to Atlanta listed as 3-5 favorites in Las Vegas, after dispatching everyone from Duke to North Carolina A&T with equal ease on their way to the Final Four. Trying to stop them will be Michigan, Syracuse and Wichita State – a pair of No. 4 seeds and a No. 9, all serv-

ing as great examples of how difficult it was to sort out the contenders from the pretenders heading into the 2013 version of March Madness. “Cinderella found one glass skipper,” said Gregg Marshall, coach of Wichita State, which beat No. 1-seeded Gonzaga and No. 2 Ohio State on its way to adding some mid-major mojo to the Final Four. “We won four games. I don’t think she found four glass slippers. When you get to this point, you’re good enough to win it all.” Pitino said he does, in fact, believe in parity during this, a season in which the team at the top of The Associated Press poll changed five times in five straight weeks at one point. He called the Midwest Region, where the Cardinals

were seeded first and won their games by an average of nearly 22 points, “the death bracket.” “I’ve experienced quite a few NCAAs,” said Pitino, who is coaching his seventh Final Four team. “I’ve never played the likes of a Colorado State in the second round. They’re a team that was very much capable of getting to a Final Four. Then Oregon was just absolutely terrific. Then certainly Coach K and Duke ... To play Duke in an Elite Eight, never mind a Final Four, it was a death bracket.” But fueled by emotion after teammate Kevin Ware gruesomely broke his leg, the Cardinals (33-5) beat Duke by 22 points, the second-most lopsided loss of the season for coach Mike Krzyzewski’s team.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Geno Auriemma and his Connecticut Huskies are headed back to a familiar place – the Final Four.

This is our last go-around, we want to go out with a bang. I’m fortunate to be part of this program where we make it every year. We never are satisfied until we get to that final game.” The Huskies (33-4) will face either Notre Dame or Duke in the national semifinals Sunday in New Orleans. The Irish and Blue Devils play tonight.

UConn routs Kentucky, advances to Final Four

Doug McDermott made Creighton history last season when he was selected as the school’s first player on the AP All-America team. Now he’s done it again. The 6-foot-8 junior forward, the secondleading scorer in Division I, was a repeat Doug selection Mon- McDermott day, the 51st player to earn the honor in consecutive seasons. “It’s pretty crazy. I couldn’t expect to have as good a year as I did,” said McDermott, who averaged 23.1 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 56.1 percent from the field and 49.7 percent from 3-point range. Trey Burke of Michigan and Otto Porter Jr. of Georgetown tied as the leading votegetters for first team, while Victor Oladipo of Indiana and Kelly Olynyk of Gonzaga were the other players selected. McDermott, who led the Bluejays to the Missouri Valley Conference championship with a title-game win over Wichita State, wasn’t shocked that he was the second repeat selection in as many years, following Jared Sullinger of Ohio State. But the honor was satisfying. “It’s not too surprising because I approach the game the same every time,” he said. “I knew I could kick it into gear and have a special season. It’s tough to do what I did with the defenses I faced. I got a lot more attention. I found ways to expand my game. I was re-

KIDS’ HEALTH

ADHD diagnoses In the past decade, the number of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rose 24 percent, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics, the pediatric journal of the American Medical Association. The disorder is both overand under-diagnosed. Because the symptoms overlap, ADHD can often be mistaken for other disorders such as anxiety, depression and oppositional defiant disorder. Untreated ADHD can hinder a child’s ability to learn and perform well in school, make friends and interact with family, and develop age-appropriate decision-making skills. A mistaken ADHD diagnosis may result in unnecessary treatment, medication and a great deal of stress for the child and parents. Accurate and early diagnosis is key to successfully treating ADHD, experts say.

New book offers best foods to eat

Guava fruit Studies indicate that guava fruit increases apoptosis (programmed cell death) and prevents the spread of malignant cells, sending the message to cancer cells that their days are numbered.

Tired of hearing about what foods you shouldn’t be eating? Registered dietitian David Grotto has a book for you: “The Best Things You Can Eat: For Everything from Aches to Zzzz, the Definitive Guide to the Nutrition-Packed Foods that Energize, Heal and Help You Look Great.” Yep, food really can do all that. He offers lists of foods and their benefits. He also highlights the most nutritious offerings in each food group. “The idea for this started when I looked for a list of high-potassium foods for a client,” said Grotto of Chicago. “I thought, ‘no problem,’ but when I started looking, I found the No. 1 food in potassium was a cup of tomato paste. The second-highest was 3/4 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate. That’s not typically how we eat.” He took the information and filtered it into consumer-friendly portions based on the My Plate recommendations from the USDA. He found a few surprises: Did you know liver is one of the most nutritious foods you can eat if you are iron-deficient and one of the best-absorbed? While the book doesn’t offer recipes, it points readers in the right direction with sound reasoning behind good food choices.

Ginger Ginger is loaded with powerful antioxidants that are effective anti-inflammatories. Daily consumption of ginger has been linked to pain relief.

HEALTH TIP

Use a friend Strength training is an important part of a healthy workout routine and is often more effective when done in pairs. Lifting weights with a loved one should reflect the strengths of your relationship, too, because the best weightlifting partners are trustworthy, accountable and motivating. You can spot each other with the heavy weights, help each other with form and encourage each other to reach your goals.

U.S. citizens’ 2011 vital health statistics revealed The most recent vital statistics concerning the health of Americans were recently released. These numbers are a good indicator of the health of our citizens. The numbers are mainly for 2011. Instead of just giving numbers, I thought it would be more interesting to present the statistics as a quiz. For example: During 2011, the teenage birth rate continued to rise – true or false? Answer – false. In fact, during that year, it fell to a

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold historic low. Approximately 3 percent of all births were to adolescents. Next question. The percentage of births to unmarried women was: 10 percent, 20 percent or 40 percent? The answer is 40 percent, and this is about the same percentage

as the year before. Life expectancy in 2011 was: 69, 79 or 85 years? If you said 79 years, you are correct. This number is the same as in 2010. The leading cause of death in children between ages 1 and 19 was: infections, cancer or unintentional injuries? Answer – unintentional injuries. The second most common cause was homicides. Together, both of these were responsible for 47 percent of all deaths in this age group.

This is one of the most disturbing statistics from the report. Greater efforts must be made to lower this number. What was the leading cause of death in adults: heart disease, cancer or unintentional injuries? If you chose heart disease, you are right. Cancer is a close second, and chronic lung disease is third. Did you ever wonder how many people die each year in this country? During 2011, 2,513,171 died. This is in contrast to 3,953,593 births.

Reading this, you probably gained more information than you need. But, if you failed the quiz and now know the correct answers, then at least you learned something. • Massachusetts-based Dr. Murray Feingold is the physician in chief of The Feingold Center for Children and president of the Genesis Fund, a nonprofit organization that funds the care of children born with birth defects, mental retardation and genetic diseases.

Fast food: Tips for a quicker harvest By DEAN FOSDICK The Associated Press Vegetable gardening is an exercise in patience. Sweet potatoes can take more than 100 days to ripen; some tomato and watermelon varieties require five months. But there are ways to shorten the wait. The easiest is choosing plants that taste best when harvested young. “The one thing you will AP photo miss out on with speedy Heirloom tomatoes can take more than 100 days to ripen, while the growing is bulk, but what smaller cherry tomatoes (foreground) need only 65 days as shown in you will get in return is layers of flavor; a sprinkle New Market, Va.

of hot and peppery microgreen radish here, a sweet and nutty, barely cooked new potato there, a garnish of cucumber-y borage flowers to finish a dish,” writes Mark Diacono in the new “The Speedy Vegetable Garden” (Timber Press). “These are the crops that will mark out your cooking as distinctly and unquestionably homegrown.” Timing is everything. “Be slow to harvest, and you’ll miss their best moments,” said Diacono, who does his gardening on a 17acre plot in Devon, England.

“These are fresh, lively and zingy flavors, flavors that can either fade or become bitter and overly strong as the plant grows on toward maturity.” Many plants – notably fruits – are genetically wired for late development. “Tomatoes, strawberries and apples all want to be left on the plant until they are fully ripe to get the fullest, lushest flavors out of them,” Diacono said. “Vegetables are a little different. Many get woodier, less succulent and lower in sweetness as they grow more mature, so

really are at their loveliest picked young.” That would include new potatoes, radishes, baby carrots, zucchini, miniature cucumbers, spring peas, turnips and beets. Cut-and-come-again salad leaves can be clipped in as little as 21 days. Sprouted seeds (mung beans, mustard, lentils) can become table fare in just three days. Check the maturity dates on seed packets as you shop. Heirloom tomatoes take 100 days or more to develop while cherry tomatoes need only about 65 days.

Rollerblade culture rolls on for fitness, fun By LENNY BERNSTEIN The Washington Post WASHINGTON – I get to do a lot of interesting things for this column. I’ve hiked, biked and Trikked, walked, run and RunAmuck. Most of these forays provide glimpses of fitness subcultures I didn’t even know existed until I gave them a try. Rarely has this been so true as when I joined the Washington Area Roadskaters for a 7-mile spin around the National Mall on inline skates. Yes, that was me gliding (someone less charitable might say “stumbling”) down the center of Pennsylvania Avenue in the freezing cold, in a gathering snow squall, with four other guys and Bill English’s disco cart. His what? We’ll get to that. But seriously, when is the last time you strapped on a pair of Rollerblades? The ’80s? The ’90s? Then came that Saturday: two hours listening to the James Gang, Cher, Madonna and Weird Al Yankovic at high volume and watching passersby do the Chicken Dance. Yeah, that all happened. While the rest of us have turned to P90X, spinning and every other fitness fad, a group of folks have stayed on their skates and seem to be having a whole lot of fun with it. “You’re out there getting exercise without even thinking about getting exercise,” says English, 52, of Silver Spring, Md. “It just happens.”

So do beer nights, trips to other cities and weekend skate conventions, as well as very serious sprint and distance races for those inclined. Who knew? I sure didn’t. And by the way, inline skating is a great workout, especially for a newbie like me. Even the slightest uphill is a challenge in those heavy boots. It’s similar to tackling a hill in cross-country skis. “It’s a full-body exercise,” said Marc Ostrow of Gaithersburg, Md., another WAR member who was there that night and has skated a marathon in 1:31. He adds, “You get all the benefits of running and more.” English started skating in grad school in South Carolina in the mid-1990s after his bike was stolen. He and his wife have a son with autism, and English discovered when Billy was 7 that skating was one of the few things they could do together. “I found that when I had my kid on skates, I could pretty much hold his hand and he’d go wherever I wanted to go,” English recalled. “If he was in shoes, he’d run all over the place.” Now 25, Billy zooms around roller rinks and occasionally joins WAR for social skates. “It’s really good when you’re autistic to have something that you’re good at,” English said, “and that people appreciate you for.” On a warm spring or summer evening, events attract dozens of skaters. At the end

of May, aficionados from all over the country will go to Skate DC Weekend, a full three days of social skating. In June, Skate of the Union will include races for elite, competitive types. But WAR skates just about year-round, except when there is snow on the ground. On a blustery evening, with flurries in the forecast, I joined English, Ostrow, Jesse Freeman and Tom Wood at the edge of Lafayette Park, directly in front of the White House. I borrowed a pair of English’s skates and wrist guards, strapped on my bike helmet, and away we went. (For the record, WAR asks beginners to take a class or be confident they can stop on a downhill and skate in traffic.) The first stretch was a slight downhill, which English and Ostrow helped me negotiate without picking up too much speed. After that, I was on my own, although they kept close watch and helped me negotiate some difficult spots. My goal was to stay upright for the entire two hours. “You do fall. You can’t not fall,” Ostrow told me later. “You’re going to fall for one reason or another.” Miraculously, I didn’t, though not without some close calls. It’s amazing how rough the pavement is in downtown Washington when you pay attention to it. About 13 years ago, English started carrying a boombox on some skates, because

Woman wants to keep hair Dear Abby: My hair falls nearly to my waist, and I go to great lengths to maintain it and keep it free of split ends. Many of my friends, both male and female, have grown out their hair over the years and donated it to cancer charities. While I think it’s a beautiful act of selflessness, I have never felt the calling to donate my hair. I recently have been criticized for wanting to keep my long hair for myself and have been called selfish and a hypocrite. Abby, cancer runs in my family. I donate money and volunteer for my local Relay for Life every year. When I explain this to my “attackers” – some of them good friends – they look the other way and say I’m “horrible” because I won’t cut my hair and give it to those in need. I cut my hair very short 10 years ago and regretted it. Now I’m feeling pressured to do it again. How do I get my message across to these people without sounding defensive or snobby? – Rapunzel In Michigan Dear Rapunzel: I think I detect a twinge of jealousy in the “good friends” who imply you are being selfish or hypocritical for not donating your lovely locks. It would be neither defensive nor snobby to smile and reply: “We all must decide for ourselves

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips how we will support the charities that are important to us. I have chosen to donate in other ways.” Dear Abby: I have been with my boyfriend, “Keoni,” for five years. We have a healthy relationship. However, when we go out to the grocery store, the doctor’s office or the mall, women constantly question his ethnicity, which is Hawaiian. Then, without fail, they’ll proceed to tell him (and me) how handsome, beautiful or gorgeous he is. Keoni does nothing to make me feel less than pretty myself, but these frequent comments from strangers have started to make me feel insecure about my own appearance. How do I accept these compliments without resentment? – Keoni’s Girl-

friend In Florida Dear Girlfriend: What may be upsetting you is that these women ask your boyfriend inappropriate questions and appear to be coming on to him. Face it, your boyfriend is exotic. If you were in Hawaii, he wouldn’t be exotic – YOU might be. The next time this happens and someone raves about his good looks, remem-

ber Keoni’s with you, not her. But if she’s pushy, “suggest” she move to Hawaii and get “lei-ed.” Dear Abby: Are hugs the new handshake? I am encountering more and more people who, instead of shaking hands when they see you (or say goodbye), want to hug. I understand it if you are close friends, but frequently it’s a business acquaintance. The two most recent examples were when I went to meet with my mother’s minister to arrange her funeral. I had never met the man, but he wanted to hug upon meeting me. Yesterday, I saw a new eye doctor for the first time. As I was leaving, I put out my hand to shake his. He said, “Oh, I like to hug!” When I stepped back and told him, “I’m not a huggy person,” he seemed offended. Any suggestions? – Standoffish Sue Dear Sue: The minister may have thought having just lost your mother, you could have used the hug. Many people welcome that kind of comfort. Personally, I agree that the eye doctor’s behavior was presumptuous. If you continue to patronize him, my recommendation is to stand out of reach.

Eventually, he lashed together two scooters, hung some powerful speakers from the frame and hooked it all up to an iPod. On a small mast at the front of the contraption, a flashlight shines on one of those spinning disco balls.

As the sun set and the snow picked up, English fired up the disco ball, and the party was on. We had been drawing cheers along the whole route, but now when we stopped, someone walking by would often feel compelled to bust a few dance moves, including, yes, the Chicken Dance. Wood recorded it all

with a small camera mounted between the two bouncy antennas on his helmet. Our bar mitzvah on wheels ended near the State Department, where we split up and headed home. My evening finished with a whole lot of ibuprofen, a glass of wine and a new appreciation for an old sport.

For some women with breast cancer, lumpectomy as effective as mastectomy Dear Dr. K: I recently was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. My doctor wants me to consider a lumpectomy plus radiation. But wouldn’t a mastectomy be more effective? Dear Reader: In a lumpectomy, just the cancer and tissue immediately around it are removed, and radiation therapy is used to kill any nearby cancer cells that might not have been removed. In a mastectomy, the whole breast is removed. Since sometimes breast cancer cells (invisible to the eye of the surgeon) can spread into the surrounding breast, it’s plausible to think a mastectomy might have a better cure rate than just a lumpectomy. However, recent results from a large study add to evidence in support of a more conservative approach. That would be lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy. The study included more than 112,000 women treated for early-stage breast cancer (cancer that has not spread beyond the breast or the underarm lymph nodes). Fiftyfive percent of these women underwent lumpectomy and radiation, while 45 percent had mastectomy. Researchers followed the women for about nine years.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff The study found women who chose lumpectomy plus radiation were less likely to die of breast cancer or from any other cause than women who chose mastectomy. Still, we should take these results with a small grain of salt. This was not a randomized trial, the gold standard of medical research. Women were not randomly assigned to one treatment or the other. Instead, each woman and her doctor decided on the treatment. It’s possible women who chose mastectomy were less healthy to begin with, or at higher risk for aggressive cancer. Perhaps that’s why women who chose lumpectomy plus radiation did better. Nevertheless, previously published major randomized trials suggest women like you will do equally well with either lumpectomy and radiation or simple mastectomy. Also, bear in mind lumpectomy plus radiation therapy isn’t the best choice for all women with early-stage breast cancer. In

general, mastectomy may be better for women with large tumors, or with more than one tumor in a breast. Mastectomy also may be better for women who were at higher risk for breast cancer, such as those who have close relatives with breast cancer or know they have a “breast cancer gene.” If your doctor has said a lumpectomy is a reasonable choice, I’m assuming the type of mastectomy being considered is a simple mastectomy: Just the breast would be removed, not tissues between your breast and armpit. Based on what you say, a larger operation would not usually be necessary. For a woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer, it pays to carefully think through your options. Talk with your doctor and trusted friends and family to find the treatment strategy that’s best for you. The good news is there is now solid scientific evidence many women with breast cancer do not require mastectomy.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - In coming months, you could be luckier than usual in bringing things to successful conclusions. Although you should be able to depend on Lady Luck’s help, you must also lend a hand. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be extremely careful that you don’t achieve your purposes at the expense of someone else. It would severely damage your image. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Usually you can do quite well in partnership situations, but this isn’t likely to be the case if your aims differ considerably from the other party. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A potentially profitable endeavor that has been dormant for quite some time could become active, but you’ll need to redesign it in order to capitalize on it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t get too closely involved with someone who has a dubious reputation. Take plenty of time to really find out what your potential partners are all about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you’re giving a price quote for a job or service, be sure your estimated cost is as accurate as possible. If not, you might work very hard but earn little. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When required to manage a serious situation for another, don’t treat it indifferently. If you make a mistake, everyone will pay. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you’re not on top of things, someone might seize the reins and make a decision in his or her best interests, not yours. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Guard against an inclination to hold on to an idea long after it has proven to be unproductive. It’s important to think on your feet and change your mindset to suit new circumstances. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Strive to be logical when making an assessment that would directly affect your financial position. It would likely prove to be disastrous to put all of your hopes on Lady Luck. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In order to be a true leader, you must not be afraid to take charge of situations, even if you don’t have a lot personally invested in their outcome. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Several important objectives can be achieved today, provided you don’t trip over your own feet. Chances are it will be self-inflicted obstacles that will be your nemesis. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful, because a well-intentioned friend might offer you some advice that, if you treat it as gospel, could prove to be costly. Listen to more than one source for counsel.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

William Lyon Phelps was a popular columnist and public speaker who taught the irst American university course on the modern novel. He said, “If at irst you don’t succeed, ind out if the loser gets anything.” At the bridge table, a loser usually gives a trick to the opponents. Sometimes, though, taking that trick can be costly. In today’s deal, what should be the result in four spades after West leads the club king? Note East’s balancing one-no-trump overcall. This shows only 11 to 15 points. With a normal strong no-trump, East doubles and rebids in notrump. South’s three-heart rebid and North’s jump to four spades were aggressive but reasonable. North liked his three-card spade support, a rufing value in South’s second suit and an ace. South wins the irst trick with dummy’s ace, plays a heart to his queen, cashes the heart ace, and leads another heart. Should West ruff with his spade 10 or pitch a minor-suit card? In general, if declarer

is about to ruff a loser, the defender should discard. Here, if West ruffs, the contract can be made. South trumps the (say) club continuation, ruffs a heart on the board (bringing down East’s king), and plays a spade to his nine. He continues with a high trump and loses only two spades and one diamond. If West correctly discards at trick four, the play gets interesting. South ruffs, trumps a club in his hand and leads another heart. Now West must ruff! He then leads a minor, and South cannot avoid losing another two spades and one diamond to East.
