Facebook, Twitter link residents to their communities By emiLY K. coLeman

hen a water main broke in Hebron and water to the entire village was turned off, one village trustee turned to his cellphone and Facebook. Trustee Mark Mogan joined Facebook when his children asked whether they could have accounts. He figured he’d sign up to keep tabs. He later came up with the idea of a municipal page and created Hebron’s account in late March 2011. For the most part, he mainly had been posting weather alerts and the occasional event reminder. With a population of just more than 1,200, Hebron’s page hadn’t been getting a lot of traction. But with the news of the water main break in November, the number of “likes” on the page shot up to 73 from eight. “Word got out pretty quickly,” Mogan said. The water shutoff proved the page’s worth in a town where a significant portion of the population isn’t comfortable with the Internet, let alone Facebook, he said. “When I saw how many people viewed it, in the town the size of Hebron, that’s 73 people who may not have heard about [the water main break],” said Mogan, adding that the village had gone door to door putting notices on people’s doors.

“Some of these people weren’t home. ... They were out and about and getting the notifications on their phones.” Hebron isn’t the only McHenry County community to add social media to reach residents. Of McHenry County’s 30 village and city governments, at least 12 have signed up for accounts on Facebook or Twitter. Six are on both. Barrington Hills gravitated toward Twitter. Located at the point where Cook, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties meet, the village would need to monitor a lot of Facebook pages to keep up on the entities that affect them, said Robert Kosin, the village’s director of administration. Unlike Facebook, which tends to be user-centered, Twitter is built around topics. Lake County had been pushing Twitter, Kosin said, and when he saw instances where it served a tangible public good – such as reaching drivers stranded on Lake Shore Drive during a blizzard who were not sure whether to leave their cars – he decided to pursue it. Anna Paul, the village’s planning and zoning information specialist, set up a schedule to make sure the account stays active with timely and relevant news. It sent out its 1,000th tweet on New Year’s Eve.

An 11th-hour attempt at a pension reform bill in the last days of a lame-duck General Assembly became 12th-hour desperation by Gov. Pat Quinn, and then became nothing. With a bill stalled to rein in the state’s $96 billion unfunded pension liability, Quinn and the bill’s author pitched a plan Tuesday afternoon to put the political hot potato of pension reform into the hands of an eight-member commission whose recommendations would become law unless both the House and Senate objected. But that proposal shared the same fate as the previous bill – both passed the House Personnel and Pensions Committee, but never came to a vote in the full House. With the swearingin of the new General Assembly at noon today, any attempt at pension reform will have to start over.

Fond farewell to feline extraordinaire

Last Wednesday was the day I had been dreading for years. I had to say goodbye to Hooper, the older of my furry “children.” Pets do not live forever, and at almost 18, Hooper had a good, long life. It’s just that I wasn’t ready to let her go. A black-and-white tuxedo cat, Hooper was born in February 1995. A friend of mine rescued her and her litter mate, Bear, after they were abandoned by their first owner. Hooper, I am told, got her name because she would hop around like Hippity Hoppity Hooper, a frog or a bunny, depending on one’s pop culture reference. Sadly, Bear died before he and Hooper were even 3. By herself, Hooper was no match for my friend’s much larger Siamese cats, who would gang up on her. Her solution was to try to find a way out. She took to hurling herself at

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver whatever visitor would come through the door. One of those visitors was me. Hooper’s antics, I must admit, bordered on the obnoxious. But she was desperate, and I always have had a soft spot for the bullied. So when my friend suggested that my husband and I take Hooper, we agreed. It also helped that Hooper decided to take a nap in my lap on the day this plan was being pitched. Little did I know that that first nap would lead to countless others over the years. Hooper never again tried to get another owner. And why would she? She wound up with two doting “servants” who

catered to her every whim. Of course, when we didn’t move fast enough, Miss Mouthy would voice her displeasure. Such traces of the feisty, attentionstarved kitten remained throughout her life. She often would walk across the computer keyboard when it was in use. Once, she even managed to add an extra “0” to an order. Imagine our surprise. In 2003, we adopted a black-andwhite kitten we named Harriet. Hooper wasn’t too happy about that, but she eventually tolerated the interloper. Once, Hooper and Harriet even teamed up to perpetrate the Great Yarn Incident. Silly me to leave out a bunch of yarn balls where those felonious felines could get them. For the past two years, however, Hooper had been noticeably slowing down, requiring medication twice

daily. Although I could see the end coming, it came far too soon. On the final night of her life, Hooper gave me a remarkable gift. For years, she had slept between my husband and me, often curling up in the crook of my arm with her head on my shoulder. She hadn’t done that in a long time, preferring the foot of the bed or the sofa. On Tuesday night, as her strength was ebbing, she found a way to return to my arms for what would be our final night together. Our bond was deeper and stronger than I’ve ever had with any other pet. And I will miss her more than words can say.

4 people in Ga. exposed to rabid pet llama

MORGANTON, Ga. – Health officials say four people in northwest Georgia have been exposed to rabies by a pet llama. Officials say a veterinarian was called to a house in Morganton on Dec. 28 because a llama was showing signs of aggression – biting at itself, at others and spitting at one of its caretakers. The llama was euthanized and sent to a lab. Officials say the caretaker the llama spat on is receiving treatment. Authorities say one person who came into contact with the animal experienced very little exposure and will not need treatment. Officials are waiting to hear from the other two people who were exposed to the virus.

$1M donations wanted for inauguration The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Planners of President Barack Obama’s second inauguration are making an unprecedented solicitation for high-dollar contributions up to $1 million to help pay for the celebration in exchange for special access. The changes are part of a continuing erosion of Obama’s pledge to keep donors and special interests at arm’s length of his presidency. He has abandoned the policy from his first inauguration to accept donations up to only $50,000 from individuals, announcing last month that he would take

in private money for his first inauguration, when a record 1.8 million people packed the National Mall to see the nation’s first black president take the oath of office. The celebration has been scaled down this year, with less than half of the 2009 crowd expected. But the pressure is high to pay for the festivities after donors already contributed to the most expensive political race in U.S. history, a campaign that exceeded $2 billion. So far, health care executives and major Democratic Party donors – including those who’ve taken private meetings with Obama or his senior

staff – are among those paying for the party. The shifts underscore Obama’s evolving stance on how business is conducted in Washington. He criticized payfor-access privileges during his first campaign, and after coming into office he pledged to have the most transparent administration in history. Once a vocal opponent of super political action committees – which can spend as much money as they can raise to help candidates – Obama later embraced them when faced with the mountain of cash spent by allies of his Republican challengers.

House OKs illegal immigrant licenses By ReGINa GaRCIa CaNO The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois moved a step closer Tuesday to becoming the next state to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses after House lawmakers approved a bill requiring one-year proof of state residency, a form of identification and a photo. The House voted 65-46 in favor of the plan, which now goes to Gov. Pat Quinn. Quinn has said he will sign the measure. The proposal was touted as a public-safety measure that will enable potential licensees to take written and driving

tests in order to be licensed. Immigrants will also have to show proof of auto insurance when they submit their application. As many as 250,000 illegal immigrants in the state would be eligible to apply for the cards, the sponsors of the bill said in the House floor. “This bill means safer roads for Illinois, this is going to save lives,” state Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez, a Cicero Democrat who sponsored the bill, said after the vote. “It’s the bottom line, this is a safety issue.” The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the state’s largest im-

How they voted The bill, SB957, passed the Illinois House on a 65-46 vote. State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, voted yes. State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, voted no. State Rep. Michael Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, was absent.

migrant advocacy group, said uninsured illegal immigrant drivers cause $64 million in damage claims each year, according to the coalition’s calculation based on federal and state figures. That’s an

expense covered by ratepayers’ increased premiums. Advocates say better-trained and licensed drivers mean safer roads. The Illinois legislation would make immigrants who drive to work and school eligible for three-year temporary licenses already issued to foreign-born visitors to the U.S. The licenses couldn’t be used to buy a firearm, register to vote or board a plane, and law enforcement officials wouldn’t be allowed to use them to target illegal immigrants for deportation. “In our immigrant community, families have been in-

terested to line back up in the secretary of state’s office, get themselves into drivers ed, get themselves drivers insurance and protect our roads,” Senate President John Cullerton said after the House approved the measure. “Our community has been dying for this. This is an important step for protecting families and protecting our roads.” The bill has received bipartisan support since it was introduced late last year. The Senate approved the measure in December. The secretary of state’s office estimated the costs of the program’s first year at $800,000.

Police: Holmes’ behavior was odd By DaN eLLIOtt

The Associated Press

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – It was just hours after a deadly Colorado theater shooting, and James Holmes was not acting like a man accused of methodically planning the attack and booby trapping his apartment. As a police detective interviewed the suspect they’d picked up outside the theater, he started pretending the paper bags on his hands – meant to preserve gunshot residue – were puppets. The former neuroscience graduate student tried to jam a staple into an electrical outlet. He played with a cup on the table. At least two officers noted that his eyes were dilated. The description came Tuesday as prosecutors try to show that Holmes should face a trial for the July 20 attack. He faces more than 160 felony charges for allegedly killing 12 and injuring 70. Crystal Lake native John Larimer, 27, was one of the people killed in the attack. He was a Navy cryptologic technician stationed at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora. Defense attorneys say Holmes is mentally ill, and have used their questions to try to make that point. They haven’t elaborated but plan to call at least two witnesses later in the week who could discuss Holmes’ mental health. The description of Holmes after the attack, given by police detective Craig Appel, seemed to undercut prosecutors’ attempts to show Holmes as methodical, spending two months to assemble his arsenal.

The first recorded purchase: Two tear gas grenades, ordered online May 10. Holmes also bought two Glock handguns, a shotgun and an AR-15 rifle, along with 6,295 rounds of ammunition, targets, body armor and chemicals, prosecutors said. He dyed his hair bright orange, then bought a scope and plastic bullets on July 1, the shopping trip and the new hair color documented in security video. Finally, he purchased glycerin and potassium permanganate – chemicals that could combine to create fire and sparks – from a Denver science store. At some point, he also improvised napalm, as well as thermite, a substance which burns so hot that water can’t extinguish the blaze. Holmes’ purchases were split between two planned attacks, prosecutors said – the theater shooting and a booby-trapped apartment that would’ve blown up if anyone had entered. The bottle of glycerin was meant to fall into the permanganate when the door to his apartment opened, to cause an explosion and then a fire, prosecutors said. The manager of The Science Company, Steve Grebe, confirmed the purchase, noting the amount was small and the materials are common in junior high experiments. The setup in Holmes’ apartment had deadly potential, though. Parts of Holmes’ carpet were soaked with gasoline and oil and ammonium chloride, a white powder, was poured onto the floor in strips, FBI bomb technician Garrett Gumbinner said.

AG seeks new hearing on Ill. concealed carry the aSSOCIateD PReSS

CHICAGO – Illinois’ attorney general on Tuesday asked the entire 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review a lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on concealed carry in an effort to salvage the only law in the nation that makes the practice entirely illegal. Last month, a three-judge panel struck down the Illinois ban as unconstitutional and gave lawmakers 180 days to write a law legalizing it. But Attorney General Lisa Madigan is asking that all 10 judges on the court rehear the case, saying the previous decision “goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held” and conflicts with decisions by two other federal appellate courts. The judges suggested in a 2 to 1 decision that legalizing concealed carry is long overdue. Judge Richard Posner, who wrote the majority opinion, said there was nothing to suggest that criminal activity in Illinois was different enough from that in other states to justify taking a different approach to concealed carry. Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said he was “OK” with Madigan’s decision. “That just puts [the issue]

back in play,” Pearson said. “If we get a favorable ruling, we’ll be happy and if we get an unfavorable ruling, we’ll be on to the Supreme Court.” Pearson and other gunrights advocates have long argued that the prohibition violates the U.S. Constitution’s Second AmendLisa Madigan ment and what they see as Americans’ right to carry guns for self-defense. Madigan’s request does not affect the court-ordered 180day timeline to write a new law. The appellate panel’s ruling argued that Illinois had not made a strong case that a gun ban was vital to public safety. It also said the Supreme Court already decided that the Second Amendment “confers a right to bear arms for selfdefense, which is as important outside the home as inside.” The dissenting judge, Ann Claire Williams, said that firearms carried outside the home increased the risk of death or injury to a broader range of people. Gun rights advocates had been threatening to make Illinois once again the center of the national gun-control debate over the issue.

8BrIeFS Wife: Poisoned lottery winner had no enemies

CHICAGO – The wife of a Chicago lottery winner who was poisoned with cyanide said Tuesday she was devastated by his death and cannot believe her husband could have had enemies. Shabana Ansari spoke a day after news emerged that 46-year-old Urooj Khan’s death in July was the result of cyanide poisoning and not natural causes, as authorities initially concluded. Prosecutors, Chicago police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office are investigating Khan’s death as a homicide. Ansari would not talk about the circumstances of her husband’s death, saying it was too painful to recall. She said only that he fell ill shortly after they had dinner together. Authorities plan to exhume Khan’s body in the next few weeks in hopes they might be able to test additional tissue samples and bolster evidence.

an impromptu gun buyer sells a gun he had just purchased to a woman outside a police station tuesday in tucson, ariz. about a dozen buyers offered cash to sellers in the parking lot of the police station where tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik set up a gun buyback program asking people to turn in their weapons for a $50 gift certificate to a grocery store.

Giffords, Kelly launch gun control lobby group By BRIaN SKOLOFF The Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tuesday was not just a day for Tucson to remember the victims of the deadly shooting that severely injured then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. It also was a day when residents could see firsthand the nation’s gun debate play out in a busy parking lot outside a city police station. On one side was a councilman who supports gun control leading an effort to give $50 grocery store gift cards to anyone who turned in their firearms to police. On the other was an event organized by a state senator that turned into an open, unregulated and legal marketplace for firearms. “We have a fundamental hole in the private sales of guns. You can walk up right in front of a cop and buy a gun, no background check, nothing,” said Councilman Steve Kozachik. “How much more flawed can the system be?” The people who bought guns from each other declined repeated requests for comments. Republican state Sen. Frank Antenori, who did not win re-election in November, didn’t stay at the event, but earlier said that paying $50 for a gun was such little mon-

ey that it amounted to theft. Antenori and Kozachik accused each other of acting out of political motivations. Antenori said the councilman was sullying both the Tucson and Connecticut school shooting victims by the timing of the buyback. Kozachik said the legislator Gabrielle was just tryGiffords ing to keep his name in the news and remain relevant. The dueling gun buyback programs – and the annual ringing of bells to remember the six dead and 13 injured, including Giffords, during the January 2011 attack – came as the congresswoman and her husband announced that they were forming a political action committee aimed at preventing gun violence. Giffords and husband Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, discussed the effort in an op-ed published in USA Today and in an interview on ABC News. The interview also provided a glimpse of Giffords’ long recovery since being shot in the head two years ago. She does speech and physical therapy and yoga. She has a service dog named Nelson who helps her keep

balance and guides her. She recently gained more movement in her right foot and can walk faster. She still struggles with her vision, especially on her periphery. She said family is what makes her the happiest. Giffords struggled to speak in complete sentences, but provided several oneword answers to anchor Diane Sawyer in describing her recovery and response to the shootings in Tucson and Connecticut. She used the word “enough” to react to the thought of children getting killed in a classroom. She said “daggers” to recount her tense, face-to-face encounter with shooter Jared Lee Loughner at his sentencing in November. She is frustrated that her recovery has not progressed more quickly. Kelly and Giffords wrote in the op-ed that their Americans for Responsible Solutions initiative would help raise money to support greater gun control efforts and take on the powerful gun lobby. “Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources,” the couple wrote. They said that it will “raise funds necessary to balance the influence of the gun lobby.”

WASHINGTON – Two years after a hostage video and photographs of retired FBI agent Robert Levinson raised the possibility that the missing American was being held by terrorists, U.S. officials now see the government of Iran behind the images, intelligence officials told The Associated Press. Levinson, a private investigator, disappeared in 2007 on the Iranian island of Kish. The Iranian government has repeatedly denied knowing anything about his disappearance, and the video and photos that Levinson’s family received in late 2010 and early 2011 seemed to give credence to the idea. Two years later, with the investigation stalled, the consensus now among some U.S. officials involved in the case is that despite years of denials, Iran’s intelligence service was almost certainly behind the 54-second video and five photographs of Levinson that were emailed anonymously to his family.

U.S. hits hottest year on record by landslide

WASHINGTON – America set an off-the-charts heat record in 2012. A combination of a widespread drought and a mostly absent winter pushed the average annual U.S. temperature last year up to 55.32 degrees Fahrenheit, the government said Tuesday. That’s a full degree warmer than the record set in 1998. Breaking temperature records by an entire degree is unprecedented, scientists say. Normally, records are broken by a tenth of a degree or so. U.S. temperature records go back to 1895. The yearly average is based on reports from more than 1,200 weather stations across the Lower 48 states.

$5 million paid to Iraqis over Abu Ghraib prison

WASHINGTON – A defense contractor whose subsidiary was accused in a lawsuit of conspiring to torture detainees at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq has paid $5.28 million to 71 former inmates held there and at other U.S.-run detention sites between 2003 and 2007. The settlement in the case involving Engility Holdings Inc. of Chantilly, Va., marks the first successful effort by lawyers for former prisoners at Abu Ghraib and other detention centers to collect money from a U.S. defense contractor in lawsuits alleging torture. Another defense contractor, CACI, is expected to go to trial over similar allegations this summer. The payments were disclosed in a document that Engility filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission two months ago but which has gone essentially unnoticed.

Officials: No shortage of vaccine in Ill. • Flu

Continued from page A1

with a surge of patients with flu-like symptoms such as cough, fever, muscle aches and runny nose. U.S. health officials have reported that the strain of influenza virus going around this year has been linked to more hospital admissions and deaths. In contrast, last year’s flu season hit later and illnesses were milder. “This season is a reminder of how serious flu can be,” said Dr. Julie Morita of the Chicago Department of Public Health. The most recent reports from Chicago labs that test for influenza showed 17 percent of specimens tested positive. Last year by this time, fewer than 1 percent of the tests were positive. Statewide, the flu-related deaths have been in Cook, Will and Coles counties. People who’ve died have been in their 50s, 60s and elderly, according to the state health department. It isn’t too late to get a flu shot, and there’s no shortage of flu vaccine. This year’s vaccine is a good match for the viruses circulating this year, one indication of how well the vaccine should work. The state health department’s website has a map with lists of local health departments that provide flu shots. People should first contact their doctors or other health care providers. Many drug stores also provide flu vaccine. Morita said Chicago residents can call 311 to find out where to get a free flu shot. Illinois is among 29 states reporting high flu activity, and 41 states were reporting widespread geographic flu activity for the week ending Dec. 29, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC recommends antiviral medications for certain patients who are sick, including those hospitalized and seriously ill. Antiviral treatment also is recommended for people who may have the flu and are at high risk for flu-related complications. That includes young children, people 65 and older, people with certain underlying medical conditions and pregnant women.

Syrian refugees suffer in storm By DAlE GAVlAK

The Associated Press ZAATARI, Jordan – A winter storm is magnifying the misery for tens of thousands of Syrians fleeing the country’s civil war, turning a refugee camp into a muddy swamp where howling winds tore down tents and exposed the displaced residents to freezing temperatures. Some frustrated refugees at a camp in Zaatari, where about 50,000 are sheltered, attacked aid workers with sticks and stones after the tents collapsed in 35 mph winds, said Ghazi Sarhan, spokesman for the Jordanian charity that helps run the camp. Police said seven Jordanian workers were hurt. After three days of rain, muddy water engulfed tents housing refugees including pregnant women and infants. Those who didn’t move out used buckets to bail out the water; others built walls of mud to try to stay dry. Conditions in the camp were “worse than living in Syria,” said Fadi Suleiman, a 30-year-old refugee. Most of Zaatari’s residents are children under age 18 and women. They are some of the more than 280,000 Syrians who fled to Jordan since the uprising against President Bashar As-

Franks: Quinn’s idea an ‘affront’

• PENSIONS

Continued from page A1 And now, the village is giving Facebook a try, testing what works for that audience. Both Barrington Hills and Hebron are small communities with small staffs and few resources, but social media work for them, they said. “It’s the easiest tool for us to use,” Kosin said. “It does not require backroom equipment, hardware. Anna [Paul] is skilled, at least skilled enough to explain what she’s doing ...” Bigger towns have delved into social media, too. The city of McHenry, with about 27,000 residents, signed up for Facebook and Twitter in late November. Other forms of city communication, including the website and newsletters, require residents to seek it out, Assistant City Manager Bill Hobson said. But social media give the city an opportunity to push information out in front of them. “The strength comes when they repost things to their pages or share it with their friends,” Hobson said. “You’re probably not going to get a viral situation with municipal news, but if they share it with their friends, that helps us.” The village of Algonquin, with more than 30,000 residents, isn’t just on Facebook or Twitter. It also

The pension committee on Monday voted to move forward a bill sponsored by Chairwoman Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, which would have limited retirees from collecting their cost-of-living increases until age 67, capped it to the first $25,000 of income and required higher contributions from existing employees. Nekritz acknowledged Tuesday that she was short of the 60 votes needed to pass it. Even if either bill had passed the House, with lawmakers overcoming resistance to curtail their own pensions, success was far from certain. Bills would have had to pass the Senate, which preferred the plan it approved at the start of this General Assembly. Furthermore, publicsector unions vowed to go to court to defeat any bill that curtails existing pensions, citing the guarantee in the Illinois Constitution that public-sector benefits cannot be diminished or impaired. State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, called Quinn’s idea of a commission an unconstitutional “affront to the [General Assembly]” that he would have opposed had it come for a full House vote. “What the governor is basically saying is that he’s out of ideas, he can’t lead, so he’s coming up and ceding authority to eight people who may have a vested interest in the outcome,” Franks said. The Senate passed a bill in March 2011 protecting benefits accumulated to date,

Continued from page A1 Quinn said his proposal was based on the federal commission that was empowered to close unneeded military bases over the objections of congressmen in the bases’ districts. “It’s time to realize under this emergency ... that we have to take extraordinary action to help break the gridlock,” Quinn told the personnel and pensions committee. The bill would have created an eight-member Pension Review Commission made up of two members each chosen by the General Assembly’s four top legislative leaders. The commission would have had until April 30 to determine needed changes to the law to ensure that four of the five state pension systems for teachers, state employees, university professors and state lawmakers are fully funded by no later than the end of 2045. The recommendations would go to Quinn to be signed into law within 30 days, unless a majority of both houses voted to reject the commission’s report. Conspicuously absent was the pension system for retired judges, who successfully sued, heard their own case and won when former Gov. Rod Blagojevich tried to eliminate their annual 3 percent cost-of-living adjustments. The last major attempt at pension reform excluded judges for the same reason.

sad broke out in March 2011. As the fighting has increased in recent weeks, the number of displaced has risen. About a half-million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries including Turkey and Lebanon to escape the civil war that has killed an estimated 60,000 people in nearly two years. Wet and wintry weather across the Middle East has made conditions miserable for refugees in those countries, as well – even flooding camps in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley after a river overflowed its banks. Several large pools of standing water – including one nearly the size of a football field and about 4 inches deep – have spread in the Zaatari camp. Children clad only in sandals waded in despite the frigid water. An old woman wore plastic bags on her feet as she walked to pick up some food. “Zaatari is sinking,” said a refugee who gave his name as Abu Bilal from the southern Syrian town of Dara’a, across the border. The 21year-old father of two toddlers said his tent has been flooded for days, and when he appealed for help, he was turned away by both the U.N. refugee agency and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, which administer the camp.

has Foursquare and Google Plus accounts. Google Plus works like Facebook and Twitter, while Foursquare has served as more of a promotional tool, said Michael Kumbera, who is assistant to the village manager and oversees the communications, including social media. “I like to think we’re on the cutting edge,” Kumbera said, adding that social media help the village meet its goals of being open and transparent, engaging people in what’s going on in the community, and helping them plan their days around any inconveniences. The feedback from residents has been minimal but positive, municipal officials said. Algonquin just wrapped up a resident survey, and 82 percent of respondents rated its social media sites as good or excellent, Kumbera said. Nearly 80 percent of Algonquin respondents said they were very likely or likely to recommend living in Algonquin. While village officials can’t directly point to an increase in engagement or satisfaction as a result of social media campaigns, a 2011 study by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Monitor Institute and the Pew Research Center found a correlation between communities with good communication and resident satisfaction and civic engagement.

but giving current employees three options going forward: keep their benefits and pay more, enter a new less-generous tier created for hires after 2011, or go to a 401(k)-style plan. The legislation did not advance in the House. In a rarity for a lame-duck session, House lawmakers shelved side issues such as same-sex marriage and a ban on assault-style weapons and went all-in on a pension deal when it appeared earlier this week that an agreement could be reached. One of the catalysts was an agreement by powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan, for the time being, to drop language that shifted the cost of teacher pensions to local school districts. That proposal was considered a deal-killer for suburban lawmakers, who said that local property taxes would skyrocket. Springfield lame-duck sessions are famous for last-minute efforts to pass profound and controversial legislation. Lawmakers in the lameduck session after the 2010 election raised the state income tax 67 percent, abolished the death penalty and approved civil unions. Six of the 12 lame-duck lawmakers who approved the tax increase, including two who campaigned against it before losing, since have been appointed to higher-paying, pension-boosting government jobs.

Thank you to candidates

It’s heartening to see the number of people who have stepped up to run for a local office that is up for election in the April 9 consolidated municipal elections. There are more than three dozen contested races on the ballot in McHenry County. It’s likely that wherever you live, there is a race or issue that needs to be decided on election day. Consolidated municipal elecFor the record tions typically don’t draw huge There’s another election just crowds. In the around the corner. We need a April 2009 elecmuch better turnout this time. tion, when the same offices were up, not even 16 percent of the county’s registered voters cast a ballot. In the last municipal election in April 2011, voter turnout was at an all-time low, with just 12.55 percent of registered voters visiting the ballot box. Yet these are the offices that have the biggest immediate impact. Seats that are up for grabs include village boards and presidents, mayors and city council members, school board members, and township supervisors. These are the people who, among other things, make decisions about the education of your community’s children, how much you’ll pay in property and other taxes, and the direction your community will go in. We applaud those who are on the ballot. It’s not easy putting yourself out there for an elected office: Criticism comes in downpours, and it’s often hostile. Members attend hours of meetings every month, and even more time reading through documents. No one is getting rich off these jobs: If they pay at all, it’s minimal in most cases. The ones who take their job seriously also attend community events and talk with constituents often. Now we hope that residents do their part. Find out what offices are on the ballot in your community and educate yourself on the candidates. Ask questions, and demand answers. Attend forums and meetings. In the coming months, the Northwest Herald will do its part to help educate voters. Then, on April 9, make your voice heard. Vote.

Price to be paid

The sad saga of Penn State’s sex scandal is getting even more sordid with the emergence of Gov. Tom Corbett in the role of chief apologist and whiner for the university. Corbett filed suit last week challenging the sanctions imposed on Penn State for its complicity in the long-term sexual abuse of adolescent boys by a former Nittany Lion assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. Corbett’s lawsuit argues that the NCAA is violating antitrust law by sanctioning Penn State for the misdeeds within its football program. The Penn State tragedy provided an opportunity for the university and the state to examine the priorities and values that were exposed when people at the highest levels in the university and its football program looked the other way while Sandusky molested children. When the leaders of any institution become so consumed with winning that they are blind to evil in their midst, there is a price to be paid. Corbett and others who have joined a chorus of complainers about the severity of the sanctions against Penn State are obviously losing sight of that, which is, quite literally, a shame.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Rational discussion

To the Editor: We all want to live in a free, prosperous, just and safe country. But we all do not agree on the best way to achieve, preserve or accomplish this. One theory generally involves less government and more individual responsibility, believing that competition breeds excellence, and strong families produce charitable and self-reliant individuals. The second theory generally involves more government and less individual responsibility, believing that government does a better job taking charge of commerce and caring for the needy. Our country is founded on the first theory and has been steadily incorporating the second. All Americans have accepted most government expansions. But some question the diminishing returns. At some point, more is less. This is the crux of the debate. How much more government can we afford, do we want, and will actually help? President Franklin D. Roosevelt shifted our country dramatically in this direction. His temporary “safety nets” have grown, become permanent, and spawned many more such programs. Now, the federal government is beyond comprehension in size and scope. We’ve accepted most of this. But how much further should we go? Our European friends are ahead of us on this path. France, Spain and Greece have taken this approach with terribly troubling results. Just

take a look. History also teaches us the treachery and tyranny of centrally controlled economies. They don’t work. We have thrived, invented, explored, and benefited in myriad ways from our free market, regulated by a limited government. Can’t we look at our incredible American story and agree on that?

Faulty logic

To the Editor: Recent letters from the pro-gun people require a response. To Mr. Patrick Donlea (Jan. 5): So you concede that some weapons can, in fact, be banned (e.g. machine guns)? If so, then why not assault rifles? As for Mr. Craig Davis (Jan. 3) characterizing a statement made by someone with whom he disagrees as “asinine,” that is about what I would expect from someone who chooses to disregard the actual content of the Bill of Rights. The words “assault weapons” and “handguns” do not appear anywhere in the Second Amendment. Even if you concede that the Second Amendment allows people the right to bear arms (ignoring that whole “militia” thing), nowhere does it say you have the right to bear all arms. As Mr. Donlea, an NRA member, pointed out, we do ban machine guns, don’t we? Would Mr. Davis repeal that ban? How

Common-sense bill

To the Editor: As a resident of McHenry County, I urge our legislators and Secretary of State Jesse White to support Highway Safety and Mandatory Insurance legislation for all in Illinois. Law enforcement, businesses and hospitals support this bill. It is a common-sense solution for everyone who drives in Illinois. About 250,000 immigrant motorists call Illinois home yet are unable to get licenses and insurance. This costs all of us $64 million in

damage claims. Forty-two percent of fatal crashes in Illinois last year involved unlicensed drivers. We could benefit from New Mexico and Washington state’s experiences in requiring all motorists to get drivers’ licenses. Those states have strong procedures in place to verify identity and residence and guard against fraud and abuse. Other benefits this bill would provide: Routine stops can be used to check traffic records. First responders and health care providers will be able to speedily identify patients and implement the electronic medical record system. Drivers will be likelier to remain at the scene of an accident. Limited court time and jail space will be freed up from those there only for driving without a license or insurance. Accident numbers involving uninsured motorists will decline, as will their costs, and insurance rates will drop for all. More organ donors will be available. Please join me in urging our state legislators and secretary of state to support this important bill. Lois Johnson Wonder Lake

Content of character, ideas trumps gender, race in leaders

As the son of a woman, the husband of a woman, and the father of daughters and granddaughters, I celebrate the record number of females who are now U.S. senators. However, I do see some differences in the way these and other women are treated, depending on their party, policies and beliefs. Diane Sawyer broadcast a celebratory report last week on ABC’s “World News Tonight” on which she gushed about the “record number” of 20 female senators. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., also praised the Senate female population. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said she won’t be satisfied until there are 50 female senators. In the Senate, the ratio of female Democrats to Republicans is 16 to 4. Would media approval for these women be different if the ratio were reversed? Consider how conservative females are treated, most notably Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. During her presidential run, Bachmann was labeled a

religious fanatic and anti-woman for being pro-life. Her husband, Marcus, was criticized because of his Christian counseling clinic that some allege focuses on converting gays to heterosexuality, a charge he vehemently denies. The media mostly ignore other Republican women, such as Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico – at least for now. “We’re less on testosterone,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told Sawyer. “We don’t have that need to always be confrontational. And I think we’re problem solvers, and I think that’s what this country needs.” agreed Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. So testosterone is to blame for the fact that male senators are so combative and that Congress continues to founder? Imagine a male suggesting that estrogen hampers women from performing well at their jobs. You don’t have to imagine. Some men have said that and worse, to their shame, and society

VIEWS Cal Thomas and ultimately history itself was right to denounce them. But after all the talk about female bonding and how women and men have different approaches to solving problems, what does that mean? Does it mean that a Democratic female senator who is pro-choice on abortion and favors same-sex marriage, bigger roles for government, more spending and higher taxes will be able to find common ground with a Republican female senator who takes the opposite positions? I doubt it. This double standard seems not only to apply to gender, but also to race. Consider the disparaging things said about Tim Scott, the new senator from South Carolina, a replacement for the retired Jim DeMint.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Scott is black, but his race does not endear him to liberals. He probably won’t be embraced by the NAACP, whose president accused him of not believing in civil rights, having received an “F” on the NAACP’s civil-rights scorecard, which judges legislators on their votes on “civilrights” issues. In fact, Scott is just as much an example of the advancement of civilrights for blacks as those female senators are examples of progress for women. In the end, it isn’t about gender or race, but ideology. When they speak of “women’s issues,” for example, the left seems to think that all women think alike, or should. The same for African Americans and civil rights. I think the right correctly sees content of character and ideas as superior to gender and skin color. In the interview with Diane Sawyer, Senator Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that by nature women are “less confrontational.” Really?

McCaskill must never have met the leaders of the women’s movement whose disciples are among her colleagues. The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is no shrinking violet. I’m not betting on estrogen besting testosterone to “get things done,” forge compromise and diffuse confrontation, especially given the history of some very uncompromising female leaders such as Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, underground railroad “conductor” Harriet Tubman, the late Bella Abzug, D-NY., or British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In fact, these women exhibited more testicular fortitude than some men, which, in the case of the conservative Thatcher, likely had a lot to do with why her male colleagues dumped her as party leader.

Parolee accused of drug offeNses

CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake parolee faces multiple drug charges for allegedly possessing cocaine near a school, police said. Jimmy M. Martinez, 24, of 1534 Briarwood Circle, was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with several offenses, including unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of a school, unlawful possession of marijuana and obstructing service of process. According to the criminal complaint, Martinez lied about his whereabouts when officers conducted a parole check at his home. Illinois Department of Corrections records show Martinez was released on parole in June. He was serving one year in prison for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon out of Cook County. Martinez was in the McHenry County Jail on Tuesday with bond set at $150,000. He must post $15,000 to be released.

Cary’s Kierna: No re-election

Village president cites time, opportunities with employer By JosePH Bustos

jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – In May, the village will have a new leader. Village President Tom Kierna has decided not to run for re-election, contrary to previous statements. Kierna said he got an elec-

tion packet to collect signatures for the April 9 election, but has opportunities to expand his responsibilities as an executive sales representative with his full-time employer, Exide Technologies. “My intentions were to run, but a lot of things happened,” Kierna said. “I had

to make a tough decision. “In the last year, there’s been a lot of opportunities to do more, expand horizons with Exide and grow the business. Growing the business will necessitate more traveling and doing more things than I’m doing today.”

Kierna said he believed he would not be able to devote enough time to being mayor – a job that requires about 20 hours a week from him. “My approach is whatever it takes,” he said. Kierna has been involved

Middle-schoolers craft items for those in need By JaNe HuH

In its second year, the school’s “Random Acts of Kindness” drew 195 students and 35 staff members. The students made 379 items for local shelters and organizations – 33 more items than last year. “We just really love helping people,” said 11-year-old Julia Zickus, a sixth-grader who helped make bird feeders. “It’s not only fun, but it’s raising the spirits of others. I would love to do this again next year. With the people you’re working with, you get into conversations with them and it’s really fun.” Students picked the organizations they wanted to support and the activities that went with them.

RIP, Ripley: Marengo shelter mourns gentle giant By stePHeN di BeNedetto

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

MARENGO – An unlikely local celebrity that captivated fans from Europe to Australia and turned attention to an unknown Marengo animal shelter died days before Christmas. Ripley, a 13- to 15-year-old Belgian draft horse, arrived at Destination Safe Haven in

Marengo nearly three years ago and about 1,000 pounds underweight. His frame was frail and he suffered from an infection in his right hind leg that had been untreated for five years. Ripley’s battle with the infection, known as lymphangitis, ended Dec. 20. The horse refused to stand and walk around the shelter’s grounds along Busse Road

in Marengo. With guidance from its veterinarian, the shelter euthanized Ripley. “He had not been in pain before. He ran around; he played,” said Deb Novak, president of Safe Haven. “But you could see it in his face. He was done. He wanted to be done.” After accepting Ripley in

CRYSTAL LAKE – With Rakow Road construction wrapped up, the county’s transportation department will analyze the road’s speed limit, traffic signals and noturn-on-red designations. The McHenry County Division of Transportation will make adjustments to correct inefficiencies, Assistant County Engineer Jeff Young said. Construction on the twoyear, multimillion-dollar widening project ended in November, opening all lanes to motorists, many of whom had long grumbled about bumperto-bumper traffic and now are praising the expanded road’s capacity. The McHenry County Division of Transportation has started counting traffic on the road during peak hours – morning, midday and evening. McDOT will use the count to analyze and evaluate the timing sequence of Rakow Road stoplights. There may be some “disadvantages” for motorists stopped at cross-traffic lights, such as long wait times, Young said. Officials waited to start the traffic count to establish normal traffic patterns and get an accurate read of how many people drive the expanded, $37 million road. “During construction, a lot of people find alternate routes,” Young said. “After construction, people come back, but it may take awhile. Now they’re coming to it when maybe they haven’t [driven] on the road for a couple years.” During peak periods, stoplights are on a timed system, but during off hours, the lights operate independently with video detection. The video detection at each stoplight are not cameras and do not record, Young said, but are more reliable than traditional road sensors.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A performance by comedian and actor Larry Miller in Crystal Lake has been canceled. Miller, known for appearances on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Seinfeld” and several

GarryMarshalldirected films, was to perform Saturday at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St. Larry Miller The Raue Center announced the cancellation at rauecenter.org and

Village aims to maximize water users

D-200 preparing banquet, auction

By EMILy K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – A Spring Grove committee is looking at ways to maximize users of a water and sewer system that’s not covering its costs. One plan – the one the Spring Grove Economic Development Commission was leaning toward at its Tuesday meeting – would have the village take out a loan to run a water line through the commercial district where there already is sewer service, said Mike Lee, the commission chairman and a village trustee. The area is boxed in by Route 12, the railroad tracks

and Industrial Court, and is mostly commercial. Of 99 businesses on the sewer line, eight are hooked up to village water, said Trent Turner, a building and zoning officer. The cost of running the water line in that area, including installing hydrants, connections and service lines, would be $1.659 million, he said. Based on conservative revenue estimates and about $400,000 the village has in savings, it wouldn’t take much to bring down that number, Lee said. Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Mike Gajewski said businesses should have to cover the cost of service

lines connecting their buildings to the main water line. The village also charges a connection fee based on how much water the business is expected to use, Turner said. The village’s fees are “comfortably lower” than in surrounding communities, Lee said, and the fees haven’t been reviewed since 2006. The commission should look at the fee structure, Gajewski said. The commission plans to meet again before taking any proposal to the whole Village Board for approval. The village’s water and sewer system is not self-sufficient because it does not gen-

erate enough through hook-up fees and water and sewer bills to cover costs, which include loan payments, Lee said. The village uses money from its general fund, about $45,000 so far this fiscal year, to make up the system’s shortage, he said. Gajewski also proposed considering a special service area and the possibility of expanding it to capture nearby properties. Having sewer and water infrastructure is part of encouraging that economic development, Lee said. “Six months ago, all you had was crickets,” he said. “Now, you’re starting to get phone calls.”

Kierna’s term ends May 7. “I’m working hard right to the end,” Kierna said. On the ballot for village president is Trustee Bruce Kaplan and former Trustee Mark Kownick. Occasionally, meetings have become heated between Kierna and trustees who took office in May 2011.

It’s all about where Tom Kierna is in his life at 55 years old and where he wants to go. It comes down to what’s best for me. ... “I’ve served with other trustees where we haven’t agreed on things, but I hope those people feel that the decisions we made were in the best interest of Cary.” If Kierna had run, he said he is confident he would have done well. “I’ve had four elections and I’m 4-0,” Kierna said. “My passion is the village of Cary ...

MILLIE ChEWNING

Born: Sept. 11, 1925; in Detroit Died: Jan. 2, 2013; in Marengo

MARENGO – Millie Chewning passed away Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013, surrounded by family and loved ones, on her farm in Marengo. She was 87. Millie was born Sept. 11,1925, in Detroit, the eldest daughter of Anthony and Anna Kurr. She married Eldon (Al) Chewning and moved to Illinois in 1954. They eventually settled in Crystal Lake to raise their family. They survived the Palm Sunday tornado of 1965, which demolished their house. Several months later, they opened Branded Steak House, considered unique at the time for its urban style and open charbroiler. In 1971, they opened Cloven Hoof Steak House in Marengo, which burned to the ground in 1976, but was promptly rebuilt. Millie and Al operated the newly built restaurant until he passed away in 1983. Soon after, she retired from the restaurant business and spent the remainder of her career providing in-home care for the elderly. Her clients appreciated the wholesome baked treats and tender care she provided. She loved classical music, opera, theater and singing in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church choir. She also thoroughly enjoyed world travel and visited Greece, Europe, Mexico, China, Israel and Poland.

Still Millie’s true joy was spending time with her six children, their spouses and 12 grandchildren on “The Farm.” For the grandkids, Grandma Millie’s farm became their playground. She loved hosting Sunday dinner, where family and friends were welcome – there always was room for another seat at the table. Millie was a health and nutrition advocate before it was fashionable, and fresh vegetables from her abundant garden often were part of the meal. Millie was preceded in death by her husband, Eldon “Al” Chewning; and son, David A. Chewning. She is survived by her daughters, Ann Henry, Diane (John) McNamara, Claire (Stewart) Brown and Lisa Skala; son, Glen (Barbara) Chewning; daughter-inlaw, Sharon Wolf Chewning; and 12 grandchildren, Patrick and Kellan McNamara, Lauren and Andrea Henry, Emily (Greg) Chewning Brodsky, Ben and Jessica Chewning, Allison, Andrew and Anna Brown, Ellen Skala and David W. Chewning. Millie also is survived by her sister, best friend and world travel partner, Rosemary Kurr, and her supportive and loving brother, Raymond Kurr. The visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, with a memorial gathering at 7 p.m. at Davenport Funeral Home, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave. (Route 176), Crystal Lake. Please join us in celebrating Millie’s life through Mass at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 323 N. Taylor St., Marengo.

A bite of broccoli is a bite of power! Broccoli makes your body stronger with all of its vitamins and minerals. It also has a cancerfighting nutrient!

First you might want to describe how it tastes, or what is best to eat with your broccoli. Next you should have a plan. In your plan you might want your broccoli hidden in some food. Here are some things that taste good with broccoli: other vegetables, cheese or other kinds of sauces. So, try some broccoli and good luck with your plan. Abby, 3rd grade

How to make a kid eat broccoli is to put it in a drink. Christina, 1st grade I can get kids to eat broccoli by tricking them and telling them that it is celery and making them eat it. Alexa, 1st grade Tell them that if you eat your broccoli, you’ll grow big and strong. You’ll then be tall enough to ride on roller coasters and big kids won’t pick on you anymore. You’ll get to go on big kid rides and sit in the back of the bus. You’ll be so tall and big, you’ll save the world. Jocelyn, 5th grade Kids should eat broccoli because it is for their health.

I found a way to get kids to eat their broccoli. The way I came up with is to cook the broccoli and when it’s ﬁnished cooking, put it in a bowl. Next, you put mozzarella cheese on top and put it in the microwave and let the cheese melt. After the cheese melts, put it on the child’s plate and let them try it. I bet they will like it. Alexa, 4th grade To make kids eat broccoli, you should put the kid’s favorite toppings on it, like ketchup or chocolate. That would make them clean their plate. Christopher, 5th grade I would say to please eat your broccoli because if you don’t do it, you will have to eat cabbage. Robbie, Pre-kindergarten

Please include your school and grade.

Kids can eat broccoli and love it. First, by putting melted cheese on it. Next, you can eat it raw and put ranch dressing on it. In addition, your taste buds change, so try broccoli every few months or years. If you never like it, just plug your nose because you still need your veggies. Izabella, 4th grade I like broccoli. It is good with cheese.

Luke, 2nd grade

I think kids should eat broccoli because broccoli is healthy. I like broccoli so much. I like to eat it with ranch dressing. Or you can eat it will salt and pepper and butter on it.It is good and healthy. The bottom part is kind of sweet. It looks like a tree and is all green. Angel, 4th grade

NHL LOCKOUT

FIVE ON ONE

Answering the call AP file photo

TODAY’S TOPIC: Memorable

Monday’s BCS Championship game didn’t live up to the hype, but there are at least five things we’ll remember from Alabama’s 42-14 rout of Notre Dame: 1. Brent Musberger. The 73-year-old broadcaster gushed over the attractiveness of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend, leading to an apology from ESPN on Tuesday. 2. The shove. The hardest hit McCarron took all night was from his own center, Barrett Jones, after the two got into it over a messed-up play (above). 3. The drives. Notre Dame had not allowed a drive longer than 75 yards all season before Monday. Alabama had four drives of 80 yards or more. 4. The brush-off. Alabama running back Eddie Lacy tossed would-be tackler Danny Spond aside with a stiff-arm to gain a few extra yards. 5. Katherine Webb. The Twitter account of Miss Alabama USA 2012 (the subject of Musberger’s drooling) went from a few hundred followers before the game to more than 143,000 by Tuesday afternoon

THEY WROTE IT From George Willis New York Post

Carmelo Anthony was already in the midst of one of his worst games of the season when he lost his cool while bumping bodies and exchanging words with Kevin Garnett with 9:03 left in the game. Both Carmelo Anthony were slapped with technical fouls by an officiating crew that nearly lost control of what was a rugged battle. After the defeat, Anthony wanted to extract a pound of flesh from Garnett. According to various sources, Anthony approached the Celtics locker room where he was shouting and had to be restrained by security. If his 6-for-26 shooting night (20 points) weren’t bad enough, Anthony might incur disciplinary action from the league, which is sure to investigate. It was the low point of what had been a shining season for Anthony. Knicks coach Mike Woodson is right when he said, “Melo is capable of having a bad night. Melo’s been pretty ... good for our ballclub.” But this must be the last night he allows himself to get baited to the point where he loses control of his emotions and hurts his team.

Kenny McCudden, a Crystal Lake resident and Chicago Wolves skating coach, works with Blackhawks players Monday at Johnny’s IceHouse in Chicago. For the past 10 weeks, McCudden has worked with Hawks players during the NHL lockout, keeping them in shape while the labor situation was being resolved.

Ready to go Blackhawks player rep Jamal Mayers took part in the “marathon” negotiating session in New York this weekend that ended with a tentative deal to end the 113-day NHL lockout. Mayers and his teammates are eager to for the season to begin. PAGE C2

CL’ s McCudden helps Hawks during lockout By JEFF ARNOLD

jarnold@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Kenny McCudden is a hockey lifer, and so perhaps it seems strange he was following Tiger Woods around Medinah Country Club when his phone rang, opening a door with the Blackhawks. Locked-out NHL players were seeking someone to oversee their on-ice individual workouts, hoping to remain in as good of hockey

shape as possible during a work stoppage that dragged on for 113 days before finally ending Sunday. McCudden – a Crystal Lake resident since 1997 – has worked as the Chicago Wolves’ skating and skills coach for almost 20 years, blending physical conditioning with situational drills, preparing American Hockey League players for the sport’s biggest stage. So with their working futures in limbo, Hawks forward Jamal May-

ers and captain Jonathan Toews reached out to McCudden during the Ryder Cup, inviting him to work privately with a small group of Hawks players as an independently contracted coach.

PR setter Otto takes ankle injury in stride

Taylor Otto expected to panic, but the anxiety hasn’t come. It’s funny to be poised for disaster like that, to wonder when what seems inevitable will happen. Otto, a junior setter at Prairie Ridge, wishes she could explain the careful acceptance with which she has approached her bizarre ankle injury – one most athletes in her position would see as catastrophic and nerveracking. But she Taylor Otto can’t, so Otto doesn’t try too hard. She’s just grateful. “I expected to be devastated,” Otto said. “I thought the panic would hit me all at once, but it didn’t. I get sad once in a while, but I just know I have to take it slow. One day at a time. One step at a time. I’ll get there.” High school athletes everywhere certainly would understand if Otto had let the injury derail her. A freakish accident at such a delicate time – the start of prime volleyball recruiting – is what nightmares are made of. On Nov. 29 during a random pickup game at Club Fusion in Marengo, Otto jumped to attack and landed awkwardly on a teammate’s foot. Her ankle twisted awkwardly and she tore three ligaments without breaking any bones, which is so unusual, Otto said, her doctors weren’t sure how to treat it. That’s when she expected the panic to overpower her. Otto had spent the past several

VIEWS Maureen Lynch months taking private lessons to perfect her passing, her timing, her attack, her serve. She’d grown into a leader on the Wolves’ varsity team, which came within a game of reaching the IHSA Class 4A state semifinals this season and won a share of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division crown. She was one of the area’s most efficient passers in a system her mother, and Wolves coach, Stefanie Otto, designed. And Otto was poised to play for one of the best club volleyball teams in the nation this offseason at Fusion, where her skills would be on full display for recruiters across the country. If anyone’s star was rising, it certainly was Otto’s. “I was getting so excited,” Otto said. “The ankle hurt, but seeing it all go away made me sad.” Sad, but not panicked. It’s a rare high school athlete who can find perspective – nearly as rare as Otto’s injury. While she can’t totally explain why she has found it, Otto has drawn on experience. When she partially tore the posterior cruciate ligament in her knee during the fourth match of her freshman season, Otto panicked. She had four more years, but it felt like she’d never play volleyball again. The fear consumed her, and she thought fatalistically. Now, too much is on the line.

Free throws help D-C rally By PATRICK MASON

pmason@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – For DundeeCrown in the fourth quarter against Prairie Ridge, the most important shots were the uncontested ones. Both teams were in the bonus at the start of the fourth quarter Tuesday, and it was the Chargers who capitalized on their free throws to defeat the visiting Wolves, 52-50, in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game. The Chargers (8-3 overall, 1-0 FVC Valley) shot 10 for 14 from the free-throw line

in the fourth quarter and used their quickness to draw nine fouls in the final quarter. “We contested shots a bit better in second half, and we were able to get to the free-throw line,” D-C coach Lance Huber said. The Wolves held the lead throughout the game until 6:03 remained. The Chargers’ Dylan Kissack rebounded a missed free throw from point-guard J.T.

GREEN BAy PACKERS

Packers unfazed by trip west, underdog status By NANCy ARMOUR The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers don’t much care where they play, who they play or what anyone thinks of their chances to win. Been there, done that. Any scenario you pick. “I just think we have a certain confidence in each other,” James Jones said Tuesday. “No matter where we play, no matter who the team is, no matter how many great players they’ve got, we feel like with the team we have, we can compete with anybody. I’m not saying we’re going to go in there, we’re just going to blow people out. But we feel like we can compete with anybody, anywhere. We feel like a type of team built for that. “Is it going to be easy? Not by any stretch. We understand that, but we’ve got confidence in each other.”

The Packers (12-5) travel to San Francisco (11-4-1) on Saturday for an NFC divisional game. The 49ers are early three-point favorites after beating the Packers in Green Bay the first week of the season. Not that the Packers mind. While they don’t sit around the locker room reminiscing, the Packers have a quiet self-assurance that comes from knowing what they did two years ago. Needing to win their last two games just to get into the playoffs, the sixth-seeded Packers went on a run that carried them all the way to their 13th NFL title. They played every game on the road, and had to beat each of the NFC’s top three seeds just to reach the Super Bowl. After that odyssey, anything seems possible. “You try not to look in the past, but there are definitely things you can draw on from past years and that’s one of them,” offensive

lineman Josh Sitton said. “It’s just something we know. We have confidence in each other, and we feel we could go win anywhere.” Green Bay has already had to draw on that part of its DNA this year. Much like the 2010 team, the Packers have been hit hard by injuries. More than a dozen starters or projected starters have missed one game or more, including Charles Woodson (nine games), Greg Jennings (eight), Clay Matthews (four) and Jordy Nelson (four). The offensive line is on its fifth combination, and one of the starters, Don Barclay, was an undrafted rookie free agent. Yet, just as they did in 2010, the Packers have persevered. After beginning the season 2-3, they’ve won nine of 11. Green Bay is now the healthiest it’s been all season, and it’s a much deeper team than AP photo it was at the start of the year because those youngsters who were Green Bay nose tackle B.J.

BLACKHAWKS

Mayers ‘re-energized’ for season Player rep took part in weekend negotiations in New York to end lockout By JEFF ARNOLD

jarnold@shawmedia.com

CHICAGO — When Jamal Mayers settled in at the bargaining table Saturday morning, he hoped for the best. The Blackhawks’ veteran forward had spent more than a week in New York, working to end an NHL lockout that had lasted more than four months. The latest round of negotiations between the players’ association and owners had been productive, but given the fact there were still four major issues on the table, Mayers knew nothing was guaranteed. A lengthy session Mayers described as a marathon, started at 8:30 a.m. and lasted throughout the day and night with the two sides reaching a tentative 10-year agreement around 5 a.m. Sunday. After 113 days, the two sides had finally come together enough to reach a pact that will be voted on today, officially allowing players to return to the ice in what’s expected to be a 48-game schedule that will allow players to focus on hockey rather than on the new collective bargaining agreement Mayers and his fellow player association representatives worked so hard for. “It’s quite intense – it’s a lot to absorb, there’s lots to stay sharp on, there’s a lot to understand on how things are interrelated in making decisions and participating in the dialogue to help shape the ideas of what we want to do,” Mayers told the

Northwest Herald on Tuesday. “It’s difficult when you have to think about 700 guys and you had to think about every aspect of what we were doing.” “But now I’m refocused and re-energized to get ready (for the season).” As Hawks players begin to travel back to Chicago prepared to begin training camp as early as this weekend. Regular-season games are slated to begin Jan. 19 and after such a long layoff, players are Jamal anxious to move forward, Mayers putting the long work stoppage behind them. But getting fully up to speed, players say, is bound to take some time, especially given the roller-coaster ride they endured during the long lockout. “Toward the middle part of this thing was the toughest part of it,” Hawks goaltender Corey Crawford said. “The first couple of weeks, you’re just excited to keep training, hoping we can get something done. But after that drags on, it’s human nature to be a little upset while you’re waiting around for it.” But with an agreement now seemingly in place, players are thankful for the efforts of those who negotiated the deal, ending months of hard feelings between the two sides. Mayers said he’s most proud of the pension players were able to secure in the deal, providing them with a sense of

security for years to come. “It’s tough when you’re a player – you’re frustrated, you want to play,” said former Hawks defenseman Brian Campbell, who trained locally before returning to Florida on Monday night to prepare for the season with the Panthers. “We weren’t going to get something done until people wanted to get it done. But we got a deal that’s fair – and that’s all we wanted from the beginning ... and finally, we got that.” While players have done their best to keep in playing shape, Mayers and his teammates say that establishing timing among teammates will be among the biggest challenges facing NHL teams entering the shortened season. Mayers, who was among a group of Hawks’ players to work privately with Chicago Wolves skating and skills coach Kenny McCudden, said he felt ready to go before spending nine days in New York trying to get a deal done. But with the work stoppage now out of the way, the Hawks turn their attention to the start of the season, anxious to get back to playing. “Moving forward, I think everyone’s focus should be to leave those hard feelings aside,” Mayers said. “We’ve got a deal – assuming it’s ratified – and the focus of the players and the league and the owners should be to work together because we’re directly tied together and we want to grow this game and make it as good as it can be.”

CL resident’s ties to Hawks started at age 17

• McCUDDEN Continued from page C1

The two sides agreed to try it on a trial basis, giving McCudden a chance to get a feel for what the players were looking for while giving his pupils the opportunity to see if he was the right coach to prepare them for the season without knowing when it would actually begin. “One skate got me 121⁄2 weeks,” McCudden said Monday at Johnny’s IceHouse, a day after a tentative 10-year deal between the players association and owners was announced.”It’s been awesome.” For the 51-year-old McCudden, the part-time teaching job with the Hawks provided a working reunion with a franchise he spent six years with. At 17, McCudden worked as a Hawks stick boy, a task that led to him eventually being hired as the club’s assistant equipment manager and third trainer, beginning a lifetime love affair between him and the game. So when the Hawks called him to see players through the lockout, McCudden wasn’t about to say no to a franchise that has meant so much to him throughout his hockey career. Former Hawks player and coach Denis Savard told McCudden his hockey life has now come full circle. “You’ve gone from a stick boy to a trainer, and now you are a pro coach and you’re back in the fold with the Chicago Blackhawks,” Savard told McCudden at a recent youth hockey clinic the two were working at. “[A history with the

Kenny McCudden worked as a Blackhawks stick boy when he was 17 and later as the team’s equipment manager and third trainer. Hawks] has made it very special,” McCudden said. Players have benefited from McCudden’s knowledge as much as the longtime youth hockey coach has enjoyed it. During 90-minute workouts, McCudden spends 75 percent of the time focusing on conditioning, with the remaining 25 percent working on game situations and scrimmages. The Hawks are scheduled to begin training camp this weekend before starting what’s expected to be a 48game season Jan. 19. Players admitted Monday while they have remained in decent shape, they know they’ll need time before they’re fully ready to compete at the level they’re accustomed to. “It’s going to take a few games,” forward Dave Bolland said. “You can do [conditioning skates] all you want, but once you get into game mode, it’s a different game.” That was part of McCudden’s charge. Two weeks into his stint, McCudden told Hawks coach Joel Quennev-

ille that when the lockout ended, he’d have players’ hands and feet ready to go. Although players are able to maintain some level of conditioning in the gym, McCudden said they wouldn’t be adequately prepared to remain on the ice if they worked by themselves. “To have him create new energy every day with new drills and keep us engaged – I don’t know how he was able to do it, but he was able to do it,” Mayers said Tuesday. “It’s one thing for me to be running the drills or (Patrick) Sharp or (former Hawks defenseman Brian) Campbell, but when you’ve got him there helping us out, it gives you a different perspective. “Guys will listen when he’s got that wealth of knowledge.” McCudden uses the same teaching techniques with the Hawks that he preaches with the Wolves and with the nearly 2,000 kids he works with each week. Although the NHL players compete and think faster than less experienced players, McCudden’s

approach to the game doesn’t change. As players have waited through the 41⁄2-month lockout, McCudden has seen them go through a series of mood changes. His workouts have seen them through long stretches when their body clocks are telling them it’s time to get into the routine of the regular season only to see the impasse between the NHLPA and owners drag out until last weekend’s 16-hour negotiating session led to the tentative agreement. McCudden expects today’s skate at Johnny’s IceHouse to be his last with the Hawks, allowing him to return to his normal work schedule with the Wolves and with coaching youngsters. He fears that the lockout may have lingering effects with the game’s popularity, especially with fans, but believes the Hawks and the NHL need to be up and running to “stir hockey and everybody’s blood.” Despite the uncertainty that remains, McCudden looks forward to seeing the game returning, having embraced his temporary employment with the club that gave him his first hockey job as a teenager. “It’s been a good ride,” McCudden said. “To see the hands of a Patrick Kane, to see the intensity of a Jonathan Toews, to see the skating stride of a Patrick Sharp, to see the strength of a Marian Hossa – it’s pretty phenomenal. It’s a little different for fans to be up above and look down and see these players, but when you’re actually on the ice with premier players, it’s quite a treat.”

RG3 needs knee surgery, may also have torn ACL

WASHINGTON – Robert Griffin III is having surgery Wednesday on a torn ligament in his right knee – and to see if there’s a second ligament that also needs to be repaired. Baylor coach Art Briles confirmed to USA Today and The Associated Press on Tuesday night that the Washington Redskins rookie has a torn lateral collateral ligament. He said the surgery also will determine whether Griffin has damaged his ACL in that knee. A torn LCL requires a rehabilitation period of several months, possibly extending into training camp and the start of next season. A torn ACL is a more severe injury, typically requiring nine to 12 months of recovery.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Carmelo Anthony said Tuesday he lost his cool after Kevin Garnett said things to him that he feels shouldn’t be said to “another man.” Anthony said he sought out Garnett after the Knicks’ loss to Boston on Monday night so they could discuss it. He would not elaborate on what was said. Anthony went toward the Celtics’ locker room and waited for Garnett outside the team bus. He said they have spoken and sorted out the matter. The All-Star forwards exchanged words during the game and Anthony clearly was affected. He shot 6 of 26, seeming at times in the second half to be most concerned with pushing and shoving Garnett, and acknowledged Tuesday that he “allowed some negativity to come into my circle.” The NBA is investigating and has video evidence. It could decide to penalize Anthony, who said he shouldn’t be suspended.

BOYS BASkETBALL: HUNTLEY 55, CL SOUTH 42

Gorney sparks Huntley in Egekeze’s return By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Huntley welcomed back its best player, 6-foot-7 junior Amanze Egekeze, who seemed more at ease as the game progressed and made significant contributions. But another junior, 6-4 forward Zach Gorney, provided even more of an impact. Gorney hit 8 of 14 shots, including his first two of the second half to give Huntley a little gap against Crystal Lake South, and the Red Raiders rode that momentum to a 55-42 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division boys bas-

ketball victory Tuesday night. “That felt really good,” said Gorney, who scored a career-best 23 points and hit two 3-pointers in the second half. “Everyone dreams of having one of those games. My teammates were hitting me in the right spot to score all night.” Huntley (9-5 overall, 3-0 FVC Valley) had its lead, once at 11, cut to four by the end of the third quarter, but Gorney converted a three-point play and hit a 3-point basket to open the fourth quarter, and the Raiders led by at least six the rest of the way. “I’ve been most impressed with Zach’s defense,” Huntley coach Marty

Manning said. “I told our coaches I didn’t remember yelling at Zach about defense for about six games. He can shoot; this kind of game is always in him.” The two-time defending FVC Valley champion Raiders played well without Amanze Egekeze, an NCAA Egekeze Division I recruit who had surgery for patellar tendinitis in his right knee in late September. He was cleared by his orthopedic surgeon Monday and played about half of Tuesday’s game.

“He was better than I thought he’d be and contributed more than I thought he would,” Manning said. “I think the doctor gave [Egekeze] peace of mind yesterday when he told him there was nothing he could do to hurt it.” Egekeze hit 4 of 10 field goals, grabbed four rebounds and finished with nine points. “It was awesome, I really enjoyed it,” Egekeze said. “It’s been a long time coming. I think I’m about 65 percent. The doctor said I can’t do much harm to it, that’s a big relief. I can just go out and play freer. I felt really good.” The Gators (5-8, 0-1) trailed, 24-23,

WOODSTOCK – Crystal Lake Central certainly needed DJ Thomas’ 14 third-quarter points in its Fox Valley Conference Fox Division basketball game against Woodstock North on Tuesday, but it needed the mental jump-start even more. Thomas went 6 of 6 in the third quarter, including two 3-pointers, to lead the Tigers to a 65-56 win. The Tigers led, 27-22, at the half but let the Thunder back into the game to start the third. “We were down and I thought we needed a little spark,” Thomas said. “I started to shoot the ball, and they went in.” After hitting three field goals, Thomas connected on back-to-back 3-pointers. He said his teammates kept feeding his hot hand. “There was no energy on the court for our team,” Thomas said. “It got the team back into it.” Tigers coach Rich Czeslawski wasn’t surprised by Thomas’ performance and said he comes to every game with a strong focus. “DJ always comes ready to play,” Czeslawski said. “We can always count on that.” Czeslawski said his team was not focused. That was manifested at the foul line, where the Tigers shot 61 percent, and from the field, where they missed 60 percent of their shots, many from short range. “I think you can see by the way we shot free throws we didn’t have a lot of focus,” Czeslawski said. “We still found a way to win the game.” Also for the Tigers (14-1 overall, 2-0 FVC Fox), Corban Murphy scored 14 points, Kyle Fleck had 11, including two 3-pointers, and Jake VanScoyoc scored eight. Woodstock North (7-9, 1-1) jumped to a 5-0 lead to start the game and seemed to be stating that they were not going to make it easy for the Tigers. The Thunder played Central even in the first and fourth quarters, and the largest deficit was in the third quarter, when the Tigers outscored the Thunder, 23-18. Steven Whiting led the Thunder with 20 points, including eight in the fourth quarter. “I really thought we could win that game,” Whiting said. “Teams don’t respect us as much as they should. We just couldn’t finish the

Otto’s recovery ahead of schedule • LYNCH Continued from page C1

With experience comes confidence, a natural byproduct of hard work. Confidence that another day exists, that hard work will beget more hard work, that success really is not a destination but a journey. Then there is last season, which she approached differently after volleyball camp at Indiana University. While there with her teammates last summer, Hoosiers assistant coach Paul Koncir helped the Wolves map out their season, noting that it could go several different ways. The more Otto considered this, the more parallels she drew to her own life. She could let it go one way or choose to take it another. She’s chosen to take the injury in stride and is improving ahead of schedule. Otto shed the crutches a few days after Christmas, shook off the walking boot Friday and is walking for the first time with just the help of a brace. She attends physical therapy twice a week. Her doctor speaks excitedly about her progress. Maybe Otto will see the court before she’d planned, which had been late March or early April. The injury could have been far more debilitating, but her attitude couldn’t have been much greater. It ensures Otto’s star will continue to rise long and the injury will be just a footnote. “There’s always another time,” Otto said. “I have another club season. I have another varsity season. I know I’ll be OK. I have the future, and that’s what’s making this all right.”

at halftime before Huntley pushed the margin to 35-24. South fought back to within 36-32, but Gorney scored the first six points of the fourth quarter and Egekeze, showing he was becoming more comfortable, hit a pair of mid-range jumpers to make it 46-36. “They made their open shots and we didn’t in that third-quarter stretch,” Gators coach Matt LePage said. “[Gorney] hasn’t shown that kind of perimeter game in four tapes we had, but we didn’t get out on him enough and contest those shots. He did knock them down.” Gators forward Austin Rogers led his team with 15 points.

We knew we could stop them because we are quicker, and coach said if you can get in front them, take charges, and that’s what we did.” Hill-Beasley scored a teamhigh 11 points and was a catalyst in the final quarter, scoring six points while getting to the foul line four times.

I have to do because I’m the best defender. We just tried to bump him bringing up the ball so they couldn’t move it on us as easy.” Tuesday’s exciting matchup featured two teams with polar opposite playing styles, and the game didn’t disappoint those in attendance. The Wolves are a perimetershooting team, and they had it working early. The Wolves connected on six 3-pointers in the first half, which helped open the inside game. The Chargers don’t take many outside shots but are arguably the most athletic team in the area, and it showed as the players hounded the ball and forced 25 Wolves turnovers. “Their on-the-ball quickness bothered us,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “They were able to bother our cutters as well, and they got back in the second half and they changed it from an open-court game and slowed it down. If we have to set up 5-on-5, we’re going to struggle, especially against a team like Dundee-Crown with all of the athleticism they have.”

Sycamore: Cary-Grove’s Mike Cullen repeated as champion at the Sycamore Invitational on Saturday and won the outstanding wrestler award. Cullen defeated previously unbeaten Kyle Akins of Sycamore, 2-1 in the finals. Akins is ranked No. 5 in 2A and Cullen (29-0) is No. 4 at 113 in 3A. Cullen also won tournaments at Barrington and Palatine this season. McHenry’s Mike Infelise took second at Sycamore, a significant improvement over last season when he was 17th. Also taking second were the Warriors’ Mike Sikula (120) and Cary-Grove’s Mike Underwood (138). Polo: Alden-Hebron brought only two wrestlers to the Polo Invitational on Saturday but both earned top-6 places. Justin Gricar took second at 126 and Colten Cashmore was sixth at 132. Princeton: Harvard took seventh as a team and placed five wrestlers. Anthony Luis (106), Chance Shelton (126) and Adam Freimund (285) led the Hornets with third place finishes. All three had wins against ranked wrestlers, but perhaps the most impressive match was a loss by Freimund. In the quarterfinals, Freimund lost to No. 1-ranked Josh Wallick of Gibson City, 3-1, in overtime. Rankings: It’s a good year for local Class 3A teams, which have the most ranked wrestlers from the area with 19. Class 2A has 15 and 1A has four. In team rankings, Crystal Lake Central is the top-ranked local team at No. 7 in 2A. Harvard is 11th in 1A and Cary-Grove is 17th in 3A ahead of No. 21 McHenry, but that should change after the Warriors’ dual win against the Trojans. With the FVC Meet coming up Jan. 25 and 26, here are some of the ranked wrestlers to watch: 106: Jacobs’ Austin Ryan (No. 2), Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski (No. 9), McHenry’s Britches Sikula (honorable mention), Cary-Grove’s John Cullen (HM) 113: Mike Cullen (No. 4), Crystal Lake South’s Casey Callahan (HM), Huntley’s Zach Stenger (HM), Jacob’s Chris Dranka (HM), Marengo’s Corey Graham (No. 7 2A). 120: Johnsburg’s Brandon Peshek (No. 9), Mike Sikula (HM), Cary-Grove’s Logan Hanselmann (HM). 126: Crystal Lake South’s Nick Gil (No. 5), Infelise (HM), Cary-Grove’s Nick Atkins (HM), Johnsburg’s Brian McKay (HM). 145: Crystal Lake Central’s Kyle Fugiel (No. 2), Lardy (No. 7). 160: Crystal Lake Central’s Mike Zelasco (No. 4), McHenry’s Cam Pait (HM), Hampshire’s Travis Keeling (HM).

Title-game rout takes shine off Irish’s season by toM CoYNe

The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Was it all just wishful thinking? Notre Dame put together one of its most magical seasons in years, winning its first 12 games and climbing atop the rankings in what many Fighting Irish fans hoped was a return to glory for one of college football’s most storied programs. After an embarrassing 4214 loss to Alabama in the BCS championship game, the worst loss in three seasons under coach Brian Kelly, the offseason will be filled with questions and a concern that Notre Dame had simply spiked again – seemingly back among the elite – only to fade back to mediocrity or worse. If recent history is any indication, Irish fans have reason to be concerned. Notre Dame hasn’t won the national championship since 1988 or even a major bowl game since beating Texas A&M, 2421, in the Cotton Bowl after the 1993 season. It hasn’t put together back-to-back strong seasons since 2005-06, when Charlie Weis and the Irish lost 34-20 to Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl and then 41-14 to LSU in the Sugar Bowl. The Irish went

3-9 the next season. The Irish also had similar good seasons in 2002 under first-year coach Tyrone Willingham and coach Bob Davie in 2000 followed by disappointing seasons – and firings. Notre Dame didn’t do much Monday night to suggest they will compete at Alabama’s level next season. The Irish were thoroughly beaten along the line on both sides and the defense that played so well all season, making key goal-line stands against Stanford and Southern California, missed tackle after tackle against the Crimson Tide. Even when Notre Dame defenders were in position to make plays, they couldn’t. Kelly said playing the Crimson Tide showed the Irish how much they need to improve. “We’ve got to get physically stronger, continue to close the gap there, and just overall you need to see what it looks like. Our guys clearly know what it looks like,” he said. “We all now know what we have to do to move from where we are, which is a 12-0 football team, pretty darned good football team, but not good enough.” Even with the disastrous showing against Alabama, giving up 529 yards and 42 points, the Irish defense still finished seventh in the nation, giving up

an average of 305 yards a game – the best Notre Dame has finished since finishing fourth in 1980. The Irish finished second in scoring defense at 12.77 points a game, their best ranking since finishing second while winning the national championship in 1966 (3.8 ppg). Most of the defense will be back next season. The Irish lose the top two tacklers in linebacker Manti Te’o and safety Zeke Motta, as well as defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore, who was hurt during Monday’s loss. Safety Jamoris Slaughter is seeking a sixth-year of eligibility from the NCAA after tearing his left Achilles tendon in the third game against Michigan State, and cornerback Lo Wood is expected back after missing the entire season with a similar injury. On offense, the Irish lose tight end Tyler Eifert, center Braxston Cave, right guard Mike Golic Jr., receiver Robby Toma, running back Theo Riddick and possibly running back Cierre Wood, who has a year of eligibility left but is considering declaring for the NFL draft. Quarterback Everett Golson will be back, and the Irish will have running back Amir Carlisle, a transfer from Southern Cal who missed this season with a foot injury.

College football Notes

Alabama No. 1 in AP; Irish 4th the assoCIateD PRess

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Alabama is No. 1 at being No. 1. The Crimson Tide (13-1) was voted national champion by The Associated Press for the ninth time, more than any other program in college football, after routing Notre Dame, 42-14, on Monday night. Notre Dame, No. 1 coming into the BCS championship, dropped to No. 4. Northwestern (10-3) climbed four spots to No. 17 after it defeated Mississippi State, 34-20, in the Gator Bowl. Northern Illinois (12-2) fell six spots to No. 22 after losing to Florida State, 31-10, in the Orange Bowl. The Tide entered the title game with as many AP titles as the Fighting Irish, and emphatically broke the tie for first. It’s Alabama’s second straight title and third in four years. The only other team to win three AP titles in four seasons was Notre Dame from 1946-49. “It won’t sink in until everything settles down,” Alabama senior linebacker Nico Johnson said. “To play for three national championships in my career ... that’s special.” Alabama finished No. 1 five times under Paul “Bear” Bryant during his 25 years as coach, and Gene Stalling coached to the Crimson Tide to another championship in 1992. Saban is now more than half-

way to matching the Bear in six seasons as Alabama coach. The Tide received all 59 of the first-place votes in the final media poll of the season, and will be a candidate to start next season No. 1. This season Alabama started second, was ranked No. 1 for 10 weeks before losing to Texas A&M in November and falling to fourth. The Tide quickly moved back to No. 2 and for the second straight season beat No. 1 in the BCS title game to finish on top. Oregon (12-1) finished second, matching its best final ranking from 2001. Ohio State (12-0), the only undefeated team in major college football but banned from the postseason because of NCAA sanctions, was third. Georgia and Texas A&M tied for fifth to cap another banner season for the Southeastern Conference. Alabama is the seventh straight SEC team to finish No. 1 and the toughest conference in college football also became the first league to have five of top 10 teams in the final rankings.

San Diego St. considers Big

East, Mountain West: San Diego State is planning to attend the Big East’s meetings Friday, but the school has been talking to the Mountain West about possibly staying in that conference rather than switching leagues. Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said Tuesday he doesn’t

anticipate San Diego State will have a decision at the upcoming meeting in Dallas. “Every indication is they want to stay,” he said after attending a BCS commissioners meeting. “Whether they will or not we still don’t know. We’re still talking. “If I had to guess, it would shake out in a couple of weeks.” San Diego State has committed to join the Big East as a football-only member in 2013. The school plans to have the rest of its sports compete in the Big West.

No evidence of abuse at Wash. St. found: At Spokane, Wash., a

Pac-12 investigation found no evidence of physical or mental abuse of players in the Washington State football program under coach Mike Leach, the league said Tuesday The findings of the independent review mirrored the findings of Washington State’s own internal review of the allegations, which was released last month. Former Washington State receiver Marquess Wilson contended near the end of last football season that players were suffering physical and mental abuse at the hands of coaches. Wilson, who quit the team, subsequently recanted his allegations. But university President Elson Floyd asked the school and the Pac-12 to investigate the charges anyway.

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. – The first semifinal games in the new college football playoff system will be played in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015. The BCS conference commissioners announced the dates and rotation for all 12 years of the upcoming postseason format after a meeting Monday in Key Biscayne, the day after the BCS championship game in Miami. “It was not a one-year decision, it had to be a 12-year decision,” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said. “Calendar issues, days of rest. Sugar and Rose were paired together because of the days of rest since they are playing the same day.” Whether they are hosting a semifinal or just a marquee bowl game, the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl will always be played Jan. 1, or Jan. 2 in years in which New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday. In the eight years in which the Rose and Sugar do not host the semifinals, the four playoff teams will kick off on New Year’s Eve or Saturday, Dec. 30. Either way there will be a triple-header of major college football games, two semifinals and four other marquee bowl games, on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day starting from the 2014 season to the 2025 season. “Those days will belong to college football,” Hancock said. The Rose Bowl also will be the site of the last BCS cham-

The site of the first championship game in the new system is still to be picked, although Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, seems to be the front-runner. The title games always will be played on Mondays, at least seven days after the semifinals. The first one will be played Jan. 12, 2015. The earliest the championship game will be played is Monday, Jan. 7, 2019. The latest the championship game will be played is Jan. 13, and that will happen twice, in 2020 and 2025. In the second year of the playoff, the Orange Bowl will host a semifinal Dec. 31, 2015, along with one of three other sites still to be determined. The preference is to have three more sites in three times zones, and they are expected to be Atlanta (Chickfil-A Bowl), Arlington, Texas (Cotton Bowl) and Glendale,

Ariz. (Fiesta). Hancock said the commissioners are on track to have those sites locked in by the end of their April meetings in Pasadena. The site for the first championship game is expected to be chosen sooner. “This was really a basic meeting,” Hancock said. “The balls that are still in the air are the (selection) committee, protocol and structure, what we’re going to call it.” It was a year ago in New Orleans that the commissioners had what was the first meeting that led to the end of the BCS as we know it and the implementation of the fourteam playoff. With the calendar set, the sites coming into focus, the next big issue left is the selection committee. “I think April will be the action month in a lot of respects,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said.

Ohio St. drops Purdue; DePaul falls the assoCIateD PRess

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Deshaun Thomas scored 22 points Tuesday night to lead No. 15 Ohio State past Purdue, 74-64, in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes (12-3, 2-1) rebounded from their first Big Ten loss by shooting 56.4 percent from the field. They took a 10-point halftime lead despite losing point guard Aaron Craft for all but 4:19 of the first half because of early foul trouble, and Buckeyes coach Thad Matta got his 100th Big Ten victory. Ohio State has won four of the past five in this series and eight of its past 10 overall. Purdue (7-8, 1-2) has lost two

straight to Top 20 teams since upsetting No. 11 Illinois last week. The Boilermakers were led by the Johnson brothers, Terone, who had 18 points, and Ronnie, who had 11 points, six rebounds and seven assists. A.J. Hammons finished with 13 points and eight rebounds. Connecticut 99, DePaul 78: At Storrs, Conn., DeAndre Daniels had a career-high 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds as Connecticut routed DePaul. Ryan Boatright scored 22 points and Shabazz Napier added16points,eightrebounds and seven assists for UConn (11-3, 1-1 Big East), which led from start to finish. The Huskies opened a 20point halftime lead, and DeP-

aul (10-6, 1-2) could get no closer than 12 in the second half. Brandon Young led all scorers with career-high 35 points for the Blue Demons. Cleveland Melvin added 18. DePaul, which was coming off a win at Providence, played without starters Donnavan Kirk and Charles McKinney, who were suspended for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Missouri St. 62, Illinois St. 55:

At Springfield, Mo., Anthony Downing scored 24 points, and Missouri State (5-11, 3-1 Missouri Valley) defeated Illinois State (9-7, 0-4). Jackie Carmichael led Illinois State with 21 points and 12 rebounds.

NaTIoNal BaseBall hall oF Fame

Judgment day for Sosa, others By roNalD Blum

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – There’s a chance the podium under the chandeliers in the gold-and-ivory-colored Vanderbilt Room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel will go unused. With the cloud of steroids shrouding the candidacies of Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and others, baseball writers may fail for the only the second time in more than four decades to elect anyone to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, rendering a news conference unnecessary. About 600 people are eligible to vote in the BBWAA election, all members of the organization for 10 consecutive years at any point. Results will be announced at 1 p.m. today, with the focus on first-time eligibles that include Bonds, baseball’s only seven-time Most Valuable Player, and Clemens, the only seventime Cy Young Award winner. Since 1965, the only years the writers did not elect a candidate were when Yogi Berra topped the 1971 ballot at 67 percent and when Phil Niekro headed the 1996 ballot at 68 percent. Both were chosen the following years. “It really would be a shame, especially since the other people going in this year are not among the living, which will make for a rather strange ceremony,” said the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser, president of the Baseball Writers’ Association

of America. Three inductees were chosen last month by the 16-member panel considering individuals from the era before integration in 1946: Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert, umpire Hank O’Day and barehanded catcher Deacon White. They will be enshrined during a ceremony on July 28 at Cooperstown. Also on the ballot for the first time are Sosa and Mike Piazza, power hitters whose statistics have been questioned because of the Steroids Era, and Craig Biggio, 20th on the career list with 3,060 hits – all for the Houston Astros. Curt Schilling, 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA in postseason play, is another ballot rookie.

Clippers on the move Mobile grooming reduces stress for pets, owners By CHRIS CASHMAN

ccashman@shawmedia.com HOLIDAY HILLS – Suzanne and Bob Church believe that a groomer coming to your doorstep eliminates a world of stress for both owner and pet. The Holiday Hills couple bought a 2010 camper and converted it into a mobile grooming salon. Clippers Mobile Grooming opened for business last November. Since then, business has been steady. “There’s a big demand for it,” Bob said. “We started the business really to help the animals,” Suzanne said. “We were hearing from people complaining about their dogs being muzzled and staying in cages for hours.” The grooming experience, in some cases, “exhausts owners and exhausts pets,” she said. “Some places don’t want to work with cats or work with larger dogs,” Suzanne said. “There has to be a niche for elderly and handicapped animals. We groomed a three-legged Lab recently. You have to provide special care for them.” Suzanne said they allow extra time for animals that have special needs. “We take into consideration things like health issues and allergies.” Cats can be challenging. “They’ll let you mess with them for 15 minutes – tops,” Suzanne said. “Cats are harder to read. They’re nothing like dogs.

Change

Bob and Suzanne Church converted a camper into a mobile grooming salon. They have a different mental makeup. None of them are thrilled with water, and most of them hate having their nails clipped.” Clippers Mobile Grooming interviews the pet owner before the grooming. “The owner is right there if an issue arises – whether it’s medical or emotional.” The Churches own three dogs, two of them rescue dogs. “Rescue animals have to be handled with special care,” Suzanne said. “You never know what will set a formerly abused animal off. Some

animals have baggage, just like people.” “We love all pets – large and small, canine or feline,” Suzanne said. “We believe that no matter their age, size or condition that they should have care that is individual to their needs and the wishes of their owner – to be safe and with care, right on their own doorstep.” A complete grooming costs $45, slightly more for pets whose fur is matted.

Pillsbury rolls out 46th Bake-Off Contest NORTHWEST HERALD

Put on your best apron and compete to win $1 million in dough. The freshly redesigned 46th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest is now open for entries at www.BakeOff.com. For the first time in the history of the cooking competition, America will vote from among entries selected by the Bake-Off Kitchens to determine all 100 recipes to vie for the grand prize. Those 100 finalists will compete at the Bake-Off Contest finals, Nov. 10-12 at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. To give creative home cooks more chances to enter, the Bake-Off Contest now features three recipe categories with separate entry periods. The categories are Amazing Doable Dinners, Quick Rise and Shine Breakfasts, and Simple Sweets and Starters. To encourage simpler, original recipes, submissions must include no more than seven ingredients, not including table salt, ground black pepper and water, and take 30 minutes or less to prepare, not including baking or cooling time.

To simplify the data management process for business, Verizon Wireless will become the first carrier to offer shared data plans for business with the Jan. 24 debut of Share Everything Plan for Small Business, and the Nationwide for Business Data Packages and Plans. The Share Everything Plan for Small Business gives companies up to 25 lines of unlimited minutes, texts, picture and video messages with a shareable allowance of 30 GB ($225), 40 GB ($300) and 50 GB ($375), plus the monthly per line access cost based on the type of device activated. Additional options for the business customer include data-only plans and a calling plan with minutes to Canada and Mexico. New and existing customers can choose to move to these plans and add any 4G LTE smartphone, tablet, Jetpacks, netbooks, laptops, 4G LTE USBs, basic/feature phones, Home Phone Connect and other 3G or 4G LTE enabled devices to share the data allowance on their account. Additional benefits of Share Everything for Small Business include Mobile Hotspot/ Mobile Broadband Connect included at no additional charge on all capable devices. Users can connect their devices and share the connections with others through Wi-Fi, with that data counting towards the monthly allowance. Personal and corporate email, using Exchange ActiveSync and Lotus Notes Traveler, are included on all capable devices. Verizon offers free usage alerts which are sent at 50 percent, 75 percent, 90 percent, and 100 percent of monthly shared data allowance to ensure a company does not exceed its selected allotment.

“We’re excited to roll out changes to the ever-classic Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest,” said Jann Atkins, Bake-Off Kitchens manager. “We know consumers crave recipes that are delicious, yet easy to make, so adding an ingredient limit allows us to provide inspiration for even the busiest families and novice cooks. And with voters selecting all 100 finalists, we hope to rally excitement and friendly competition across the country as people choose their favorites.” Other sponsors of the 46th BakeOff Contest are The J.M. Smucker Co., GE Appliances and Green Giant. Contestants can submit recipes during each of the three entry periods. Judges will select 60 recipes from each category for public voting at www.BakeOff.com. Voters will determine 33 finalists each from the Amazing Doable Dinners and Quick Rise and Shine Breakfasts categories and 34 finalists from the Simple Sweets and Starters category. These 100 recipes will advance to the Bake-Off Contest event in Las Vegas, where final judging will be conducted by a panel of food experts.

Each Bake-Off Contest entry must include at least two different eligible ingredients from specific lists available at www.BakeOff.com. The Grand Prize winner will receive $1 million and $10,000 in GE kitchen appliances. The second prize winner will receive $10,000 and $3,000 in GE kitchen appliances. The third prize winner will receive $5,000 and $2,000 in GE kitchen appliances. Each of the 100 finalists wins a trip to the Bake-Off Contest in Las Vegas, including airfare; two-night stay at the Aria Resort & Casino; daily eventsponsored meals; a GE countertop appliance (estimated retail value of $200); and $125. The approximate retail value of each finalist package is $1,606. Each finalist is eligible to win only one of the contest awards, in addition to the finalist package. The Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest awarded its first $1 million Grand Prize in 1996. At the 45th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest, held March 2012 in Orlando, Fla., Christina Verrelli of Devon, Pa., won the $1 million Grand Prize for her Pumpkin Ravioli with Salted Caramel Whipped Cream recipe.

CHICAGO – Mark Sander, president and chief operating officer of First Midwest Bank, has announced the selection of Schafer Condon Carter as the agency of record for its retail, commercial and wealth management businesses. “Throughout the agency evaluation and review process, SCC consistently demonstrated a great sense of who we are, how our culture sets us apart in the marketplace and what we intend to accomplish throughout this region,” Sander said.

8IN BRIEF Anheuser-Busch debuts beer with Super Bowl ad

ST. LOUIS – Anheuser-Busch InBev is introducing a new specialty brew with a Super Bowl ad. The maker of Budweiser, Bud Light and other brews said Tuesday that Budweiser Black Crown is an amber lager. The first ad promoting it will run on Feb. 3 during the Super Bowl, though the beer will be available in stores nationwide starting Jan. 21. The beer’s recipe resulted from a challenge to AnheuserBusch InBev’s 12 brewmasters, an effort dubbed Project 12. Customers were able to sample the options during a testing phase last year. Budweiser Black Crown has 6 percent alcohol content. By comparison, Budweiser has 5 percent. Benj Steinman, editor of Beer Marketer’s Insights, says Anheuser-Busch InBev is trying to compete with the large variety of specialty products now on the market.

Unemployment below 7 pct. in most U.S. cities

WASHINGTON – Unemployment rates fell below 7 percent in a majority of U.S. cities in November, suggesting steady job gains are benefiting most parts of the country. The Labor Department says rates fell in November from October in 215 of the 372 largest metro areas. Rates were unchanged in 33 and rose in 124. Rates dropped below 7 percent in 192 cities. That’s the first time since the recession ended that more than half of large cities had rates below that threshold. The department says 52 areas had rates below 5 percent. Nationwide, the unemployment rate ticked down to 7.8 percent in November from 7.9 percent the previous month. That occurred mostly because more Americans out of work gave up looking for jobs and were not counted as unemployed.

Mistakes to avoid at different life stages As an investor, how can you avoid making mistakes? It’s not always easy, because investing can be full of potential pitfalls. But if you know what the most common mistakes are at different stages of an investor’s life, you may have a better chance of avoiding these costly errors. Let’s take a look at some investment mistakes you’ll want to avoid when you’re young, when you’re in mid-career, when you’re nearing retirement and when you’ve just retired. When you’re young. Mistake: Investing too conservatively (or not at all). If you’re just entering the working world, you may not have a lot of money with which to invest. But don’t wait until your income grows – putting away even a small amount each month can prove quite helpful. Additionally, don’t make the mistake of investing primarily in short-term vehicles that may preserve your principal but offer little in the way of growth potential. Instead, position your portfolio for growth. Of course,

FINANCE Steve Middaugh stock prices will always fluctuate, but you potentially have decades to overcome these short-term declines. Since this money is for retirement, your focus should be on the long term – and it’s impossible to reach longterm goals with short-term, highly conservative investments. When you’re in mid-career. Mistake: Putting insufficient funds into your retirement accounts. At this stage of your life, your earning power may well have increased substantially. As a result, you should have more money available to invest for the future – specifically, you may now be able to “max out” on your IRA and still boost your contributions to your employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as your 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b). These retirement accounts offer tax

advantages that you may not receive in ordinary savings and investment accounts. Try to put more money into these retirement accounts every time your salary goes up. When you’re nearing retirement. Mistake: Not having balance in your investment portfolio. When they’re within just a few years of retirement, some people may go to extremes, either investing too aggressively to try to make up for lost time or too conservatively in an attempt to avoid potential declines. Both these strategies could be risky. So as you near retirement, seek to balance your portfolio. This could mean shifting some of your investment dollars into fixed-income vehicles to provide for your current income needs while still owning stocks that provide the growth potential to help keep up with inflation in your retirement years. When you’ve just retired. Mistake: Failing to determine an appropriate withdrawal rate. Upon reaching retirement, you will need to carefully

manage the money you’ve accumulated in your IRA, 401(k) and all other investment accounts. Obviously, your chief concern is outliving your money, so you’ll need to determine how much you can withdraw each year. To arrive at this figure, take into account your current age, your projected longevity, the amount of money you’ve saved and the estimated rate of return you’re getting from your investments. This type of calculation is complex, so you may want to consult with a financial professional. By avoiding these errors, you can help ensure that, at each stage of your life, you’re doing what you can to keep making progress toward your financial goals.

AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK – Shares of Sears Holdings Corp. fell Tuesday, a day after the retailer announced that chairman and hedge fund billionaire Edward Lampert will take over the role of CEO. The investor queasiness came even as the Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based company offered an update on holiday sales that showed some improvements at its Sears stores. Overall, the company still faces a long, uphill battle to turn itself around. Lampert succeeds Louis D’Ambrosio, who is leaving February because of family health matters. D’Ambrosio will remain on the board until the company’s annual meeting in May. He was named CEO in February 2011, ending a three-year search. Lampert has been known as a hands-on chairman at the operator of Sears and Kmart. The change formalizes that role at a time when the retailer is struggling with sales

The company has posted six straight years of declines in revenue at stores opened at least a year. While Sears’ middle-income shoppers has been hit hard by the economy’s woes, critics have long said the company hasn’t done enough to invest in its stores to compete with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and other competitors. Last year, Sears announced plans to restore profitability by aggressively cutting costs, reducing inventory, selling off some assets and spinning off others. Under D’Ambrosio,who spent 16 years at IBM Corp., Sears

has been making changes in its stores. They include giving sales staff almost 15,000 iPads and iPod Touch devices so they can research products and help customers check out wherever they are in a store. It’s also improving displays and adding more high-tech washing machines and other appliances. The company is also focusing on a loyalty program, which now accounts for more than half of the company’s revenue. Such changes have helped the business, but analysts say much more needs to be done. Shares of the Hoffman Estates-based company fell $2.76, or 6.43 percent, to $40.16 in trading Tuesday. In the past 12 months, shares have risen nearly 50 percent.

NEW YORK – Target Corp. is pledging to match prices of select online rivals year-round, a move that underscores how physical and online retailing are being meshed together. Matching online prices is rare but expected to become more common as shoppers move increasingly online. Target, the nation’s second largest discounter behind Wal-Mart Stores Inc., said it will match prices that customers find on identical products at top online retailers, all the time. The online list includes Amazon.com as well as the websites of WalMart, Best Buy, Toys R Us and Babies R Us. Target’s move follows a similar holiday price match that began Nov. 1 and ended Dec. 16. Target is also making permanent its holiday offer of matching prices of items found at its stores with those on its website.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Henry Ford said, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” Right -- I think! And in today’s deal there is not only a right suit to play ﬁrst, but also a right way to play it. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade, East puts up the jack, and declarer takes the trick with his queen. How should he continue? South had six top tricks: two spades (given the ﬁrst trick) and four diamonds. Looking no further than dummy’s strongest suit, he played a club to the jack. However, East won with his ace and returned a spade. Declarer’s 10 lost to West’s king, and another spade dislodged declarer’s ace. Unconcerned, South led another club, but West’s diamond discard was a huge disappointment. Declarer won on the board and called for a heart, but East grabbed the trick with his ace and returned his last spade. The defenders took one club, one heart and three spades for down one. Yes, South was unlucky, but if he had thought about

a bad club break, he might have thought about the right line of play. He should have played a diamond to dummy and led a low heart toward his jack. Here, if East ducks, declarer wins the trick and shifts to clubs, taking two spades, one heart, four diamonds and two clubs. If East wins, South has two spades, three hearts and four diamonds. Lastly, if West could capture the heart jack with the ace, a spade lead would give South a third trick in the suit. Declarer would have time to knock out the club ace and win at least one overtrick.

TODAY - In the year ahead, you could get involved in an enterprise that you’ll need to be quite secretive about. Your project could be coveted by the opposition and easily copied if they got wind of it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- None among your group of friends will have a knack for organizing like yours. Appoint yourself director and start putting some plans together that everyone will enjoy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- That burning feeling in your ears is likely to be due to so many friends saying nice things about you. You have far more boosters than you realize. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When socializing, don’t merely mingle with people looking for polite chitchat -- circulate with persons whom you can learn from. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A coveted goal can be achieved if you’re willing to work for it. Put aside any trivial endeavors and go for that special something that you’ve wanted for a long time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Generally, it’s wise to avoid discussions on religion and/or politics, but if a friend should offer a friendly, fresh perspective, you might find it interesting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This might be the day to put an idea to the test regarding a financial arrangement. The least you could do is try it out; the payoff could be substantial if things work out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Conditions that influence you both physically and mentally can be exceptionally harmonious if you handle things in a warm, friendly manner. Play life light and easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When you expend your energies on labors of love, you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish, and the enjoyment you’ll derive from the process. You deserve such a day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- After being subjected to a couple of hectic days, you’re entitled to let yourself go and relax a little. You don’t need any social fanfare -just time alone with your special someone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You should take prospective clients to your favorite haunt rather than to a fancy place. You’ll achieve more in a convivial, homey atmosphere. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Having too structured a schedule might find you much too restless and champing at the bit. Leave yourself some space in which to move about and be able to do as your impulses direct. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Friends or relatives who truly believe in you could serve as a springboard to success. Their suggestions on how to handle your troubles should take the strain off.

Steamed fish dish packs big flavor Pepper shrimp edamame EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton

The first time I had to test a recipe for steamed fish was back in the ’80s, when I was working in the test kitchen at Gourmet magazine. And truthfully, the very idea seemed preposterous. Steaming anything over water had always struck me as boring. And the idea you could count on a good result by applying such an intense method to a protein as delicate as fish seemed highly unlikely. But the recipe in question relied on the Chinese method of steaming fish, and I became a believer the very first time I tried it. As is typical in Chinese cuisine, the secret is in the seasoning. Given their blandness, fish are a wonderful canvas for intense ingredients such as ginger, chilies and toasted sesame oil. Steaming them concentrates and amplifies their flavors. And an added bonus is steaming requires very little fat. This recipe works wonderfully using any thin fillet of fish, including char, catfish, trout and striped bass. And if you increase the cooking time, you can swap in any number of thicker fillets, including cod,

sablefish and halibut. How do you know when the fish is cooked? Stick a knife through it. If it goes through easily, it’s done. For this recipe I chose tilapia because it is a sustainably raised farmed fish. I prefer Americanraised, as the quality is much higher than imported. Ideally, you’d cook this fish in a Chinese bamboo steamer. But if you don’t have one of those, you can use a collapsible metal steamer lined with foil. I love those steamer baskets. They are great for steaming vegetables as well as meat, fit

into most saucepans, store easily and are virtually indestructible. I’m still using one I bought during my college days. This recipe is quick, healthy and delicious. You might want to think of it as a jumping-off point for other steamed fish dishes. In fact, if – like most of us – you’re recovering from a month or two of holiday overindulgence, this little gem could enter your regular rotation as a lighter dish for the new year.

See STEAMED, page D2

Of all the many green vegetables available to us, we tend to be profoundly lacking inspiration when it comes to selecting one for dinner. Wouldn’t it be nice if the green had some pizazz? That was my inspiration for this dish, to create a fast and easy green dish that had lots of flavor and doesn’t rely on the usual suspects. The solution was a heaping tray of roasted peppery shrimp and edamame, creating an attractive and filling side dish that even could double as a main course. And yes, use 2 tablespoons of black pepper. That’s the point. And it is delicious.

Roasted Pepper Shrimp With Edamame Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 8

1-pound bag frozen shelled edamame 2 pounds raw peeled shrimp (thawed, if frozen) 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons ground black pepper

1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place the edamame in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or just long enough to slightly thaw. Pour off any liquid that has accumulated in the bowl, then transfer the edamame to the prepared baking sheet. Add the shrimp to the baking sheet, then drizzle the oil over them and the edamame. Sprinkle with the pepper, salt and paprika. Use your hands to mix everything together, making certain the shrimp and edamame are well coated with the oil and seasonings. Arrange the ingredients in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes, then use a spatula to turn the shrimp. Roast for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are just pink and firm. Serve immediately.

Salt Cod With Roasted Potatoes

SAUTéED

Salted fish produces savory dinner By J.M. HIRSCH

The Associated Press

If ever a food needed a brand overhaul, it is salt cod. Because nothing about that name inspires cravings. It actually sounds like something you spread on an icy walkway to keep people from slipping. But salt cod actually has a rich history, especially in Portuguese and Spanish cuisines, which treat this simple ingredient with near reverence. Salt cod is what it sounds like – cod fillets that have been preserved with salt. A lot of salt, in fact. So much so, the salt must be flushed from the fish before eating. This can be done several ways. The most basic is to rinse the cod under cool running water, then submerge it in a bowl of water and refrigerate for 12 hours. The result is a tender, yet meaty fish that has a pleasantly solid texture (closer to a satisfying steak than to a fillet of fresh cod). The flavor also is changed – savory and not overtly fishy. Though you will taste the salt, if the cod has been

properly rinsed and soaked, it will not be too salty. Once the cod is soaked, it can be patted dry with paper towels, cut into chunks, then simmered for 10 or so minutes. Your options after that are numerous. The cod often is broken into flakes, then used to make cod fritters, or added to chowder. Larger chunks of cooked salt cod also make a fine curry, as well as a filling for empanadas and pot pies. Salt cod is widely available in the seafood section of most grocers. It often is sold in small wooden boxes. A 1-pound box will produce 1 1/2 pounds of cod after soaking. One note about cooking – try not to boil it. It should be cooked at a gentle simmer. Boiling will toughen the fish.

Salt Cod With Roasted Potatoes Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 6

To soak the cod, place it in a large bowl of cold water. Refrigerate for 12 hours, changing the water several times. Most packages

include soaking instructions, as well as an alternative simmering method. 1 pound salt cod, soaked overnight and drained Handful of flat-leaf parsley 1 medium leek, halved lengthwise 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges 5 medium carrots, cut into chunks 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided Salt and ground black pepper 3 large cloves garlic, minced 8 scallions, white and green parts, diced 3 cups small broccoli florets Juice of 2 lemons Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cod, parsley and leek in a large saucepan, then add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the potatoes and carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, then season

with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes. After the cod has cooked for 10 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a plate and let it cool enough to handle. Using 2 forks, gently flake the cod into chunks, discarding any bones, as well as the leeks and parsley. In a large sauté pan over medium-high, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic and scallions and saute for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and saute another 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cod. Toss gently, being careful not mush the fish. Heat for 5 minutes to warm the cod. Divide the roasted potatoes and carrots between serving plates, then spoon the cod mixture over them. Sprinkle each serving with lemon juice.

Fish tacos – a lot of work but so worth it By RACHEl ARonS

Fish Tacos

The Washington Post

The prototypical fish taco originated in Baja California, Mexico, and the preparation referred to in this country as “Baja-style” is similar to what you might find on the Mexican peninsula. It usually involves deep-fried white-fleshed fish, shredded cabbage and a creamy white sauce. This is the holy fish-taco trinity, and the dish continues to make its way outside of Mexico and into restaurants all over the United States. Too often, though, the key elements of fish tacos get modified and tampered with in ways that dilute the deliciousness of the final product: blackened fish, overpoweringly smoky chipotle sauce, too-sweet mango salsa, watery pico de gallo, fancy slaws that crowd out the fish. So, for several years now, I have resorted to preparing fish tacos myself, and I’ve developed a set of guidelines that, if followed, yield a taco more satisfying than any of the tequila-marinated, jícama slaw-adorned, roasted pineapple salsa-topped options out there. The first rule is you must beer batter your fish – no grilling, no baking, definitely no blackening. The second is that the cabbage must be shredded extremely fine. The last element is the most labor intensive but also one of the most important:

Fish Tacos

1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, or more to taste 1 small garlic clove, minced 3 limes 1 quart canola or vegetable oil 2 cups all-purpose flour one 12-ounce bottle negra Modelo or other lager 1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as catfish, cod, halibut, or tilapia), cut into 3-inch-by¾-inch strips ¼ small head green cabbage, very finely shredded, preferably on a mandolin 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

2 cups Maseca or other masa harina used for making tortillas 1¼ teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning ½ cup mayonnaise ½ cup Mexican crema or sour cream ¼ cup whole milk

For the tortillas: Combine the masa harina, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and 1¼ cups water in a medium bowl and stir until the mixture comes together. If the dough is dry and crumbly, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together. Knead gently for 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 16 balls,

Press your own tortillas instead of using store-bought ones, and make them just 4 inches in diameter. Your tacos should be small enough that the ends of the fried fish strips poke out pleasantly at either end. These are better than most of the versions you’ll find in restaurants or taquerias. Unless you’re in SoCal with a perfect Baja-style joint on every block, in which case you’re very lucky and I salute you.

Yield: 4 servings (about 16 tacos) Time: 1 hour

each approximately 1½ inches in diameter. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to keep them moist. Line a tortilla press with two sheets of plastic wrap. Place a dough ball between the layers of plastic and press until the tortilla measures 4 inches in diameter, then carefully peel off the plastic wrap. (If you don’t have a tortilla press, you can use a heavy book and a little elbow grease to press them between sheets of plastic wrap.) Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Put a large, dry skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, cook the tortillas, one at a time, for about 50 seconds on each side. Cover the cooked tortillas with a dishtowel to keep them warm. For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, crema, milk, Sriracha, garlic and the juice of ½ lime in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cut the remaining 2½ limes into wedges. For the fish: Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. in a deep pot over medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, beer, and 1 teaspoon salt; the mixture should have the texture of pancake batter. When the oil is hot, dip the fish pieces in the batter and fry them in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. For the assembly: Arrange the tortillas on a serving plate and place one piece of fish on each. Top each taco with a large pinch of shredded cabbage, a drizzle of sauce, a slice of avocado, and a few cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges and cold beer.

My idea was simple – combine the best attributes of bready panzanella salad with the briny goodness of seafood paella. And I wanted it all done on the grill. It turned out to be easier, faster and far more delicious than I expected. The two main ingredients – sourdough bread and peeled extra-large shrimp – were simple. I gave each a quick toss in flavorful (and complementary) marinades, then popped them on the grill for a few minutes. I wanted the bread just lightly toasted and the shrimp just barely cooked. After that, It was just a matter of combining them with some chopped tomatoes, a garlicky vinaigrette and – because I felt we hadn’t yet mixed enough cultures into the pot – a couple of diced avocados. The result was out of this world. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the ingredient list. There’s nothing unusual here and the recipe comes together quickly.

Shrimp And Avocado Panzanella Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 10

For the vinaigrette: 2/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup lemon juice 4 cloves garlic, minced Salt and ground black pepper For the bread: 1/3 cup olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon salt 20-ounce loaf sourdough bread For the shrimp: 1/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 pound large or extralarge shrimp

diced 1 small red onion, diced

Heat the grill to medium-high. To prepare the vinaigrette, in a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, tasting as you go. Set aside. To prepare the bread, in a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano and salt. Cut the sourdough into thick slices. Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of each slice with the oil mixture. Set aside. To prepare the shrimp, in a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Head out to the grill. Add the bread and toast for about 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, use tongs to arrange the shrimp on the other side of the grill. Cook the shrimp until just pink and firm, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the bread to a cutting board and cut into bite-size cubes. Transfer the bread and cooked shrimp to a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, avocados and onion, then gently toss. Drizzle the salad with the vinaigrette, then toss again to coat well. Serve immediately.

Beef Stroganoff Made healthier

Moist, rich egg bread is versatile, delicious By AlISon lADMAn The Associated Press

Egg breads are rich, moist – and yes, eggy – loaves that are satisfying in a way we typically associate with quick sweet breads, yet are versatile enough to accompany dinner and make delicious sandwiches. For this recipe, we studded a basic egg bread with four varieties of seeds, which add a satisfying crunch without detracting from the moist crumb of the bread. But if you’d rather leave out the seeds, feel free.

Yogurt saves stroganoff

When I delivered food to my weekly client last week, he asked me if I could make him beef stroganoff. It’s his favorite dinner, and he had not had it for a long time. With heavy cream, sour cream and butter, it is not the healthiest dish. I changed it by using a lean beef tenderloin and whole wheat egg noodles. I used yogurt instead of some of the sour cream and heavy cream. Enjoy!

Beef Stroganoff Made Healthier

3 cups organic beef stock 1 carrot, chopped 6 sprigs fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 2 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 2-inch cubes Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 9 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 cup vermouth 1 pound organic mushrooms, sliced 3 cloves of garlic, chopped

ThE PErSonAl ChEf Debi Stuckwisch 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/2 cup of greek yogurt 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish 1 (1-pound) package whole wheat wide egg noodles 2 tablespoons butter Heat the beef stock with the chopped carrot, 3 thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Put 3 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Fry the meat in batches until it is browned on all sides. Lower the heat to medium and return all the meat to the pot. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the vermouth and cook until the alcohol has burned off, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, discarding the carrot, thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Cook, partially

covered, over a very low flame for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic and remaining 3 thyme sprigs and cook until the mushrooms are browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside. When the meat is done, remove it from the heat and fold in the mushrooms, sour cream, yogurt, mustard and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain the noodles well, toss with 2 tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the stroganoff over the noodles. Garnish with more sour cream and chopped parsley and serve.

Creme fraiche is a better sour cream Croque Monsieur

By J.M. HIRSCH

The Associated Press

Not sure what creme fraiche is or why you should care? Consider it a relative of sour cream. Except that while both are white, thick and creamy, creme fraiche is the richer, sexier and more talented relative. Here’s the deal. Like yogurt, sour cream and creme fraiche are dairy products produced thanks to the miracle of friendly bacteria. But while yogurt is made by adding those bacteria to milk, sour cream and creme fraiche are made by adding them to cream. So what’s the difference? Sour cream is made from cream that is 20 percent fat; creme fraiche sports an even more succulent 30 percent. That may not sound like a big difference, but it matters in both taste and versatility. That extra fat turns creme fraiche into a kitchen workhorse. But first, taste. While sour cream tastes, well ... sour, creme fraiche is rich and tart. The trouble with sour cream is you have to be very careful when cooking with it. Heat it too much and it curdles. But the higher fat content of creme fraiche means you can boil with abandon and it won’t separate. This makes it ideal for soups, sauces and simmered dishes. It will, however, liquefy. That means if you add it to the top of something, then toss it under the broiler (as in the recipe for croque monsieur below), or even just dollop it onto something hot, it will melt. In France, where it originates, creme fraiche often is used in sauces for vegetables, as well as in salad dressings, soups and pastries, and to top fresh fruit.

Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 2 1/2 cup creme fraiche 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided 1/4 cup grated cheddar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt Pinch nutmeg 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 4 slices sandwich bread 4 slices gruyere cheese 8 slices smoked deli ham 1 tablespoon butter, softened Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the cheddar, cornstarch, garlic powder, hot sauce, pepper, salt and nutmeg. Set aside. Spread a quarter of the mustard evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Top each with 1 slice of cheese and 2 slices of ham. Overturn 2 of the stacks onto the others to make 2 sandwiches. Spread the butter over one side of each sandwich. Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Set the oven to broil. Flip the sandwiches and spoon half of the creme fraiche mixture over the top of each sandwich. Top with the remaining Parmesan. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just starts to brown.

Online affairs put teacher’s job at risk Dear Abby: My husband is now involved in his third computer affair. He’s a teacher, and his first one was with a student. He was almost fired over it. He apologized to me and to his supervisor, said it was an “error in judgment” and promised it would never happen again. Last week, I found an email he had sent to another former student, and the things he said to her were disgusting. The current one is a student, too. I have a nice home, and my husband is good to me except for his wandering eye. He gives me anything I want and takes me with him whenever he travels. But he is a Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to a computer and young girls – all younger than his daughter, I might add. I know if this gets back to his boss he’ll be fired. He’s a brilliant man and an excellent teacher. So what do I do? I have considered doing nothing, and if he gets caught let him suffer the consequences. Or, I can confront him and try

621 Ridgeview Drive • McHenry • (815) 344-9800

to get him to see a counselor before he ruins his career, and makes me a laughingstock of the community. We’re financially comfortable and I hate to give it up, but I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this, either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. – Not Laughing In

Washington State Dear Not Laughing: Your husband has a serious problem. He is playing Russian roulette with his career – and it’s only a matter of time until he acts inappropriately with the wrong student. If you love him at all, confront him and insist he talk to a counselor and learn to strengthen his impulse control. When his activities become public knowledge, as is sure to happen, you won’t be the laughingstock of the community, but your hus-

band WILL be scorned and jobless. If you want to protect your lifestyle as well as your husband’s female students, insist he get professional help NOW. Dear Abby: I’m a divorced “empty nester” who would like to meet a nice man to spend time with. I’m attractive, slim and active. A year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I have excellent medical care, and my doctor is optimistic. She told me she has treated many women who have survived 10 years and still are doing fine. I intend to do everything in my power to be one of those women. I have tried meeting men on the Internet or through groups I belong to. I explain on the first date about my health issues because I don’t want anyone to think I’m dishonest. Unfortunately, several men I would have liked to see again told me flat-out that they “can’t deal with the cancer thing.” I don’t want to spend the

rest of my life – however long it may be – alone. Should I wait to tell a man about my illness until we’ve seen each other a few times? Or should I continue as I have, and hope I eventually find someone with enough compassion willing to take the chance? – Healthy

Now In Wisconsin

Dear Healthy Now: Compassion? How about someone intelligent enough to grasp that nobody has a guarantee about how long someone will live – including him? The appropriate time to discuss your medical history is after you have gotten to know someone well enough that you can talk frankly about it, and the relationship is beyond casual. First dates do not fall into that category. No man who cares about you would ever walk away. And any man who would isn’t worth having, so consider yourself lucky. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

C. diff bacteria can gain upper hand in hospitals Dear Dr. K: I’ve heard that an illness known as “C. diff” is running rampant in hospitals. What is it? How can I avoid it during my upcoming hospitalization? Dear Reader: You’re referring to a dangerous intestinal infection caused by a bacterium known as Clostridium difficile, or “C. diff.” C. diff bacteria, and the spores they produce, are not just in hospitals; they’re everywhere. And they’re not just in the environment around us; they’re also inside many of us, in our intestines, along with trillions of other bacteria. Most of the bacteria in our gut can’t hurt us. In fact, some of them actually help us. And even though many of us harbor C. diff bacteria inside us, in healthy people they’re rarely a problem. But it has become a problem in hospitals for three reasons. First, hospitals do have

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff C. diff bacteria. So if patients don’t already have C. diff bacteria in their intestines when they are admitted to a hospital, they can acquire the infection during their stay. That’s especially true for those who require long hospital stays. Second, many people who are hospitalized have immune systems weakened by illness, and it’s harder for them to fight off any kind of infection. The third reason hospitalized patients are particularly susceptible to C. diff infection is antibiotics. When you take an antibiotic – as many people who are hospitalized do – it doesn’t kill just harmful bacteria; it also can wipe out the good bacteria that always live in your body. Normally these

good bacteria control any C. diff bacteria that may exist in your large intestine. That’s because they outcompete the C. diff bacteria for food, which keeps the numbers of C. diff relatively small. But when antibiotics wipe out the good bacteria, C. diff can take over. C. diff bacteria cause symptoms by producing toxins. These toxins produce a range of symptoms, from mild to lifethreatening. Mild: watery diarrhea and belly cramps. Moderate: a lot of diarrhea, belly pain, fever, nausea. Severe: high temperature, severe diarrhea, dehydration, dramatic bleeding from the intestine. Critical: C. diff paralyzes the colon and causes it to expand. The wall of the colon can weaken and develop a hole. Surgery may be required to remove the entire colon. There’s a high chance of dy-

ing. Fortunately, most of the time a short course of antibiotics prevents this cascade of events. To prevent infection during your hospital stay, insist hospital staff wash their hands with soap and water. Liquid alcohol-based hand cleansers are less effective against C. diff. Ask about home health care as soon as you feel well enough. The shorter your hospital stay, the lower your risk of infection. If you do contract a C diff. infection, you will probably be taken off the antibiotic that triggered the infection. You’ll take a different antibiotic, one that will kill the C. diff bacteria.

Things

Five minutes into their season-opening news conference and the new team at “American Idol” were having their first disagreement – about their disagreements. Asked Tuesday whether a supposed feud between new judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj was a publicity stunt, Fox network executive Mike Darnell said it was authentic. He said there was a lot of passion within the group, which also includes country star Keith Urban and returning judge Randy Jackson. He said there also were a lot of disagreements. Carey, however, called the story “some trumped-up thing.”

Family life grounds McConaughey

Winehouse alcohol death confirmed Amy Winehouse died from accidental alcohol poisoning when she resumed drinking after a period of abstinence, a second coroner’s inquest confirmed Tuesday. Coroner Shirley Radcliffe ruled that the 27-year-old soul singer “died as a result of alcohol toxicity” and recorded a verdict of death by misadventure. She said there were no suspicious circumstances. She said Winehouse “voluntarily consumed alcohol – a deliberate act that took an unexpected turn and led to her death.” Tuesday’s verdict was identical to that produced by a first inquest in 2011. But the result of that hearing was annulled after the original coroner was found to lack the proper qualifications for the job. The Grammy-winning singer, who fought a very public battle with drug and alcohol abuse for years, was found dead at her London home on July 23, 2011, with empty vodka bottles scattered around her. Radcliffe said a postmortem had found Winehouse had a blood alcohol level five times the legal driving limit, and above a level that can prove fatal. She said that much alcohol could affect the central nervous system so much a patient could “fall asleep and not wake up.” Pathologist Michael Sheaff told the inquest Winehouse had likely suffered respiratory arrest after consuming so much alcohol.

Actor Matthew McConaughey credits his growing family for the success 2012 brought him. “One, they ground you. Two, when you have that kind of structure at home and you feel stable at home it makes it much easier to fly higher and wider when you’re outside of home,” Matthew McConaughey said Monday at the McConaughey New York Film Critics Circle Awards. The 43-year-old received the best supporting actor honor for “Magic Mike” and “Bernie.” He garnered critical success in 2012 for “Mud” and “The Paperboy,” both shown in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. “Got a great family that loves what I do, they’re happy for papa when papa is happy. Papa is happy when he’s working, and they like it when papa goes to work,” he said of his busy year.

‘Django’ action figures questioned

Slavery-era action figures tied to Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” are raising questions about whether they’re appropriate. A line of figures of the movie’s main characters are on sale online, manufactured by toy maker NECA in partnership with the Weinstein Co.

A mauling of Martin Amis and a savaging of Salman Rushdie are in the running for the best bad book review of 2012. Eight finalists were announced Tuesday for the Hatchet Job of the Year Award, a prize set up to reward scathing works of literary journalism. The nominees include Ron Charles’ Washington Post review of Amis’ satirical saga “Lionel Asbo” – a “ham fisted novel” full of “blanched stereotypes” – and Zoe Heller’s assessment of Rushdie’s memoir “Joseph Anton” for the New York Review of Books. Heller slammed the author’s “magisterial amour propre” and concluded: “The world is as large and as wide as it ever was; it’s just Rushdie who got small.”

Najee Ali, director of the advocacy group Project Islamic Hope, had a news conference Tuesday with other Los Angeles black community leaders calling for the removal of the toys from the market. Ali called the action figures “a slap in the face of our ancestors.” “We were outraged,” said Ali, upon learning of the figures. “We feel that it trivializes the horrors of slavery and what African Americans experienced.” The action figures are collectibles recommended for people older than 17. The Weinstein Co. and NECA didn’t immediately comment Tuesday.
