Fire victim was ‘personable, ambitious’ Cause of Huntley apartment building blaze still under investigation By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – Allen R. Jacobs used a wheelchair his entire adult life, and his greatest fear was being placed in a dangerous situation where he couldn’t escape, family members said

Monday. A two-alarm blaze in the six-unit building at Huntley Woodcreek Apartments started Sunday morning in Jacobs’ firstfloor unit. The fire killed Jacobs, 47, and displaced 12 others. His older sister, Cindy Shanahan, and his fraternal twin, Pam

Jacobs, described the longtime Huntley resident as a personable, ambitious man, who never let it get him down that he could not use his legs. “The guy was so fun-loving, had a huge heart and was always smiling, even though he was in a wheelchair,” Pam Jacobs said.

Stepping up

“He is going to be so missed by everyone because he didn’t have an enemy ever.” Allen Jacobs became a quadriplegic as the result of a car accident as a teenager nearly 30 years ago. He lived alone at Woodcreek Apartments, 11700 Woodcreek Ave., for the past 18 years and re-

ceived medical help from nurses and family. Born and raised in Huntley, he was proactive about seeing his nieces and nephews perform in sports and other school functions. Aside from family, his genuine smile and personality routinely won over women, Shanahan said.

Jacob Schyvick (center) speaks to his group members during a class activity to discuss what they would do to solve a hypothetical hostage situation if they were president during Monday’s advanced placement government class at Johnsburg High School. Advanced placement classes are college-level classes offered to high school students. To receive college credit for the course, students must score at least a three out of five on an exam at the end of the course.

Voice your opinion

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com Students in Jamie Uthe’s advanced placement government class at Johnsburg High School discussed a hypothetical situation: The president has to make a decision on how to free American citizens held hostage by a terrorist group in Iraq. Uthe plays devil’s advocate during the discussion as students debate whether to stand by U.S.

policy of not negotiating with terrorists and enlist the aid of friendly nations in the region, secretly exchange arms for the hostages, or use the military to rescue them. Senior Elise Heiser said using

the military should be a last resort. “If another country can’t get it done, then we go in,” she said. Fellow senior Dan Grobarcik agreed. “We’re not conceding, we’re using other avenues to free the hostages,” he said. “We’re using our allies to help us out.” More and more students are participating in these higher-level discussions as enrollment in advanced placement classes has in-

creased over the years in schools in McHenry County and the states. More students work toward earning college credit before they set foot on a college campus. The classes are more challenging and help prepare students for college-level work, and might save them money, Grobarcik said. “It makes you want to work and think about things,” Grobarcik said.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House is poised to consider more money for state programs in a plan that takes advantage of new road building funds and shifts money saved from prison closures to child-welfare services, sparing up to 1,900 jobs. The Executive Committee voted, 9-2, Monday afternoon to move the plan to the House floor. It includes a $675 million boost to transit construction highly prized by businesses and labor unions and $25 million saved from a bitter fight over closing correctional facilities to put nearly 140 more child-abuse investigators on the street. The legislation is part of an annual exercise aimed at shoring up parts of state government that are running short of money halfway through the fiscal year. The bill includes $12 million for mental health grants, $25 million for rental housing assistance, $5.7 million for job-training programs and $5 million as the final portion of a $70 million veterans’ home to be built in Chicago. It also includes lawmakers’ OK for agencies to spend federal money, such as the $35 million early childhood instruction grant that the Illinois State Board of Education won. House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, who presented the plan to the committee, said another bill will seek to allocate more than $600 million for the second half of the year for state employee group health insurance.

Lisa Madigan towers over Quinn in poll You probably won’t be surprised to learn that a poll taken Jan. 30 of 1,255 likely Illinois Democratic primary voters shows Attorney General Lisa Madigan leading Gov. Pat Quinn by a very large margin. Madigan also leads Quinn and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley in a three-way contest, according to the poll, but Quinn leads Daley in a one-on-one race. And a large plurality of Democrats disapprove of the governor’s job performance. The We Ask America Poll has a margin of error of plus-minus 3 percentage points. About 18 percent of the results came from mobile phone users. In the poll, Madigan leads Quinn by 25 points, 50.5 to 25.7. Among women, who almost always make up a majority of Democratic primary votes, Madigan’s lead is 53-22, while she leads among men 46-30. The attorney general’s lead over the governor in Chicago is 46-30, and it’s 51-28 in suburban Cook County. Madigan is ahead 53-23 in the suburban collar counties and by a massive 53-21 downstate. Madigan has not decided whether she is going to run for governor. People close to her are divided over

CAPITOL EFFECTS Rich Miller what they think she’ll do. She reportedly plans to take her time with her decision. A Public Policy Polling survey taken in November had Madigan leading Quinn 64-20. But that poll was of just 319 “usual” Democratic primary voters with a margin of error of plusminus 5.5 percentage points. Still, PPP does excellent work, so if you consider the two polls, you get a very strong lead for Madigan. If Madigan’s decision is heavily weighted toward whether she can win the primary, she’ll run. Quinn has a better shot against Daley, a white, Irish Democratic Chicago man who may not bring much more to the table than Dan Hynes did in the 2010 primary. According to the We Ask America poll, Quinn leads Daley by five points, 38-33. November’s PPP survey had Daley leading Quinn 37-34, so average those two results and you get an essential tie at 36 for Quinn and 35 for Daley. According to last week’s We Ask

America poll, Quinn leads Daley in the city, 45-30, but Daley leads in suburban Cook County, 40-36. Quinn has a narrow half-point lead in the collars and leads by less than two points downstate. The Daley name ain’t what it used to be. Could Daley be a spoiler who helps Quinn in a three-way race? Not according to the We Ask America poll. According to that poll, Madigan leads the multiple candidate contest with 37 percent to Quinn’s 20 percent to Daley’s 15. Public Policy Polling did not test a three-way race last November. Madigan’s lead among women in a three-way contest is pretty big. She gets 38 percent to Quinn’s 17 percent and Daley’s 13 percent. Among men, her lead is a bit smaller at 34 percent to Quinn’s 24 percent and Daley’s 18 percent. Madigan leads Quinn and Daley in Chicago 35-22-17. Her lead in suburban Cook County is 35-18-18. She leads 36-17-16 in the collars and is ahead by a very big 40-19-11 downstate. Public Policy Polling had Quinn’s job approval rating among Democrats at 40 percent, with a 43 percent disapproval. Last week’s We Ask America poll had Quinn’s approval among

fellow party members at 37 percent, with a 42 percent disapproval. Despite the head-to-head matchups, women give him a slightly lower disapproval rating than men, 41 percent of women disapprove, compared with 46 percent of men. But just 36 percent of Democratic women and 37 percent of Democratic men approve of the way Quinn is handling his job. Quinn won the 2010 primary and general elections despite low approval ratings. So, he’s been here before. What he didn’t have to do back then, however, was take on one of the most popular politicians in Illinois. PPP’s November poll pegged Lisa Madigan’s favorable rating at 68 percent among Democrats, while just 16 percent had an unfavorable view. If Lisa Madigan runs, she likely wins the primary. Daley is another story. Like 2010, a Daley-Quinn race will be a hard-fought and bloody battle that could end up being pretty close. If Quinn has to get a single primary opponent, Daley would be the one he’d want.

8WATER COOLER ‘Cookie Monster’ sends 2nd note in statue theft

BERLIN – Police in Germany say someone dressed as Cookie Monster has sent a second note regarding a stolen cookie sculpture – this time saying he wants to return it. But officials aren’t sure the person in the photo actually stole the 44-pound, centuryold sculpture, which was part of a statue outside a German cookie baker’s Hannover office and was stolen last month. A Hannover police statement says a local newspaper received a picture of someone dressed like the Sesame Street character holding what appears to be the stolen cookie. The enclosed note is written in cut-out letters.

Superdome officials had feared power outage The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – The cause of a 34-minute power failure at the Super Bowl remains under investigation, but public records released Monday show that Superdome officials were worried about a power outage several months before the big game. An Oct. 15 memo released by the Louisiana Stadium & Exposition District, which oversees the Superdome, said tests on the dome’s electrical feeders showed they had “some

Count On Me...

decay and a chance of failure.” Entergy New Orleans, the company that supplies the stadium with power, and the structure’s engineering staff “had concerns regarding the reliability of the Dome service from Entergy’s connection point to the Dome,” the memo says. Those concerns were due in part to “circumstances that have previously occurred with the electrical service regarding transient spikes and loads.” The memo also cites 2011 blackouts that struck Candle-

stick Park, where the San Francisco 49ers were playing a nationally televised Monday night football game, as a reason for ordering the tests. The board later authorized spending nearly $1 million on Superdome improvements, including more than $600,000 for upgrading the dome’s electrical feeder cable system. “As discussed in previous board meetings, this enhancement is necessary to maintain both the Superdome and the New Orleans Arena as top-tier facilities, and to ensure that

we do not experience any electrical issues during the Super Bowl,” says a LSED document dated Dec. 19. An attorney for the state board that oversees the Superdome said the blackout did not appear to be related to the replacement in December of electrical equipment connecting the stadium to Entergy. Officials with the utility and the Superdome noted that an NFL game, the Sugar Bowl and another bowl game were played there in recent weeks with no apparent problems.

Dixon sues audit firm over $53M fraud The Associated Press

President Barack Obama speaks about his gun violence proposals Monday in Minneapolis, where he outlined his plan before law enforcement personnel.

Obama travels to promote gun laws The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – President Barack Obama declared Monday on his first trip outside Washington to promote gun control that a consensus is emerging for universal background checks for purchasers, although he conceded a tough road lay ahead to pass an assault weapons ban over formidable opposition in Congress. “We should restore the ban on military-style assault weapons and a 10-round limit for magazines,” Obama said in a brief speech, standing firm on his full package on gun-control measures despite long odds. Such a ban “deserves a vote in Congress because weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our schools or threatening our law enforcement officers.” The president spoke from a special police operations center in a city once known to some as “Murderapolis” but where gun violence has dropped amid a push to address it from city leaders. Officers stood behind him, dressed in crisp uniforms of blue, white and brown. The site conveyed Obama’s message that a reduction in violence can be achieved nationally, even if Americans have sharp disagreements over gun control. That includes among members of his own party in Washington. Suggesting he won’t get all he’s proposing, he said, “We don’t have to agree on everything to agree it’s time to do something.” The president unveiled his gun-control plans last month after the shootings at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. Many of the proposals face tough opposition from some in Congress and from the National Rifle Association. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he wants to give the bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines a vote. But he will not say whether he will support either, and advocates and opponents alike predict they are unlikely to pass. Putting the controversial measures up for a vote could put some Democratic senators in a tough spot. That includes some from conservative-leaning states who are up for reelection next year and face the prospect of voting against either fervent gun-rights supporters or Obama and guncontrol supporters in the party’s base. Reid himself came in for criticism for declining to stand with the president by Minneapolis’ Democratic mayor, R.T. Rybak, who accompanied Obama while he was in town. “He’s dancing around this issue and people are dying in this country,” Rybak said of Reid on MSNBC. Democratic lawmakers and aides, as well as lobbyists, say an assault weapons ban has the least chance of being approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee that is working up the legislation.

DIXON – An Illinois city whose former comptroller embezzled almost $54 million is suing its longtime accounting firm for failing to detect the fraud, claiming it missed red flags including bogus invoices. Rita Crundwell, 60, pleaded guilty and is scheduled to be sentenced next week for the scam that authorities say lasted 20 years and enabled her to live lavishly and build

a world-renowned quarter horse breeding operation. The city of Dixon is suing the firm of CliftonLarsonAllen, which audited Dixon’s books and performed other Rita duties, such as Crundwell check-processing, while the firm’s personnel prepared Crundwell’s tax returns, Crain’s Chicago Business reported Monday.

The lawsuit seeks compensation for the entire loss. Among its claims is that CliftonLarsonAllen overlooked bogus state invoices submitted by Crundwell, who then deposited the six-figure checks into her own account at a local bank branch where Dixon also kept its money. Court papers filed by the law firm representing the city, Power Rogers & Smith, include invoices that Crundwell claimed were from the Illinois Department

of Transportation, but which lacked an IDOT heading or logo and, in one instance, carried a nonexistent date of Nov. 31, 2004. Sauk Valley Media reviewed 170 of the 179 phony invoices that Crundwell used to steal about $44 million. Among them were an invoice asking for $1.4 million for a traffic light in front of Walmart that had been paid for by the store and another for $2.5 million for demolition of a tollway plaza that didn’t fall

under IDOT’s jurisdiction. City officials were unaware of the fake invoices because it did not require city department heads or commissioners to sign off on them, the newspaper reported. “Had a two-minute phone call been made by a Clifton employee to the Illinois Department of Transportation regarding any of these false invoices, Rita Crundwell’s theft would have been identified at that time,” the lawsuit argues.

Child rescued from Ala. bunker; captor dead The Associated Press MIDLAND CITY, Ala. – Authorities stormed an underground bunker Monday in southeastern Alabama, freeing a 5-year-old boy and leaving his captor dead after a week of fruitless negotiations that convinced authorities the child was in imminent danger. Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, had taken the child off a school bus after fatally shooting the driver, authorities said. He was known by neighbors for his anti-government rants and for patrolling his property with a gun, ready to shoot trespassers. He had stayed for several days in the tiny bunker before. “He always said he’d never be taken alive. I knew he’d never come out of there,” said an acquaintance, Roger Arnold. Dykes had been seen with a gun, and officers concluded the boy was in imminent danger, said Steve Richardson of the FBI’s office in Mobile. It was not immediately clear how authorities determined the man had a gun, or exactly how Dykes died. Monday evening, officers were sweeping the property to make sure Dykes had not set up any bombs that could

Officials said they stormed a bunker in Alabama to rescue a 5-year-old boy being held hostage there after Dykes, his abductor, was seen with a gun. detonate. Full details of the bunker raid had not yet emerged. However, neighbors described hearing what sounded like gunshots around the time officials said they entered the shelter. At a late Monday news conference, authorities declined to elaborate on how they had observed Dykes or on how he died, citing the pending investigation.

NEW YORK – Ed Koch couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate final farewell to New York City: An organist played “New York, New York,” the ballad made famous by Frank Sinatra, in a Manhattan synagogue Monday as the former mayor’s coffin was carried past thousands of mourners, concluding a funeral that recalled the New Yorker’s one-liners and antics in the public eye. Koch died Friday of congestive heart failure at age 88. Recalling Koch as “brash and irreverent,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the crowd that the man who steered the city through the 1970s and 1980s must be “beaming” from all the attention created by his death.

Chicago police seeking tips in girl’s slaying

CHICAGO – Chicago police say they’ve been inundated with tips about the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl who had just returned from performing at President Barack Obama’s inauguration festivities, but police, activists and ministers are still concerned that someone with information might be holding out. The reward for information about last week’s slaying of Hadiya Pendleton has climbed to $40,000. But people may be afraid to come forward because they don’t want to be thrust into a national media spotlight or because they are concerned for their own safety, police said Monday.

However, he also recalled the bus driver, Charles Albert Poland

Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson said Dykes was armed when officers entered the bunker to rescue the child. He said the boy was threatened but declined to elaborate. “That’s why we went inside – to save the child,” he said. Authorities said the boy has been reunited with his mother and appears to be OK. Richardson said he had

Jr., who has been hailed as a hero for protecting nearly two dozen other children on the bus before being shot by Dykes. “As we rejoice tonight for [the boy] and his family, we still have a great emptiness in our community because a great man was lost in this whole ordeal,” Senn said. The rescue capped a long drama that drew national attention to this town of 2,400 people nestled amid peanut farms and cotton fields. It has long relied on a strong Christian faith, a policy of “love thy neighbor” and the power of group prayer. The child’s plight prompted nightly candlelight vigils. Throughout the ordeal, authorities had been speaking with Dykes though a plastic pipe that went into the shelter. They also sent food, medicine and other items into the bunker, which apparently had running water, heat and cable television but no toilet. It was about four feet underground, with about 50 square feet of floor space. Authorities said the kindergartner appeared unharmed. He was taken to a nearby hospital. Officials have said he has Asperger’s syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration wants to more than double doctors’ licensing fees and to borrow millions of dollars. But doctors strongly disagree, saying taxpayers’ dollars should be used to restore money previous administrations used to finance other state programs.

West Chicago strike idles 4,000 students

WEST CHICAGO – More than 4,000 students in West Chicago weren’t in class because of a teachers strike. More than 280 teachers in the suburban Chicago school district decided to begin their strike Monday after 16 months of negotiations failed to reach a contract agreement. The walk-out came after an 11-hour negotiation session Sunday stretched into early Monday and concluded with no deal. Classes were canceled, but the district planned to provide programming for students in grades one through five.

Sami Samir Hassoun faces up to 30 years at his April sentencing. The notes were released in a defense filing in U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Senate makes push to revive anti-violence bill By JIM ABRAMS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats, bolstered by Republican support, on Monday launched a new attempt to broaden a law protecting women from domestic abuse by expanding its provisions to cover gays, lesbians and Native Americans. The legislation to renew the Violence Against Women Act appeared on a smooth path toward passage in the Senate, possibly by the end of this week. Monday’s vote to make the bill the next order of business was 85-8.

Senate passage would send the bill to the House. Advocates hope that Republicans, smarting from election losses among women voters in November, won’t repeat their resistance last year to the Senate approach. “Allowing partisan delays to put women’s lives at risk is simply shameful,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., said before the vote. He hoped convincing support for the legislation in the Senate would “send a strong message to House Republican leaders that further partisan delay is unacceptable.” House Republicans, in-

She said her group, which supports the Senate bill, had received “very positive responses” from the offices of both Cantor and Rep. Cathy

The Senate bill, while making minor concessions to meet GOP concerns, is essentially the same as the measure that passed that chamber last April on a 68-31 vote, with 15 Republicans voting yes. It focuses on ensuring that college students, immigrants, Native Americans and gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people have access to anti-abuse programs. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said that since the Violence Against Women Act, or VAWA, was enacted in 1994

the annual incidence of domestic violence has fallen by more than 50 percent. “We have something here that’s been a success. These are thousands of lives made immeasurably better,” said Leahy, sponsor of the legislation with Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho. Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican supporter from Maine, said helping victims of violence “should never be a partisan issue.” She said that in her state nearly half of homicides were linked to occurrences of domestic violence and 13,000 Maine residents would experience some form of sexual violence this year alone.

Passenger describes carnage at crash site Pakistani girl By TAMI ABDOLLAH and GILLIAN FLACCUS The Associated Press

YUCAIPA, Calif. – The bus full of tired tourists from Mexico was slowly winding its way down the mountain from the ski resort town of Big Bear when it suddenly picked up speed. The driver shouted to call 911 – the brakes had failed. As passengers frantically tried to get a cellphone signal, a group of teenage girls shrieked and prayed aloud as others cried and shielded their heads as they careened downhill. The bus rear-ended a Saturn sedan, swerved, flipped and slid on its side. A Ford pickup in the oncoming lane plowed into it, righting the bus and tossing passengers out shattered windows before it came to a halt. “Everything happened so fast. When the bus spun everything flew, even the people,” said Gerardo Barrientos, who was next to his girlfriend one minute and then scrambling out of the wreckage the next moment to

Seven people were killed and about three dozen injured Sunday night in the accident 80 miles east of Los Angeles. Seven people were killed and about three dozen injured Sunday night in the accident 80 miles east of Los Angeles. The dead included 13-yearold Victor Cabrera-Garcia, Elvira Garcia Jimenez, 40,

and Guadalupe Olivas, 61, all of San Diego; along with Aleida Adriana Arce Hernandez, 38, Rubicelia Escobedo Flores, 34, and Mario Garcia Santoyo, 32, all of Tijuana, Mexico, said San Bernardino County coroner’s supervisor Tony Campisi. One woman remained unidentified. On Monday, while families of the tourists descended on area hospitals looking for loved ones, investigators

searched for evidence and scrutinized the bus company’s safety history.Government records showed the bus, operated by Scapadas Magicas of National City, Calif., recorded 22 safety violations in inspections over a year – including brake, windshield and tire problems. The crash littered State Route 38 with body parts, winter clothing and debris. The bus stood across both lanes with its windows blown out, front end crushed and part of the roof peeled back like a tin can. “I saw many people dead. There are very, very horrendous images in my head, things I don’t want to think about,” Barrientos said as he and girlfriend Lluvia Ramirez, who both work at a government hospital in Tijuana, waited outside the Loma Linda University Medical Center emergency room for word on a friend who broke her neck. After the crash, Barrientos, who was uninjured, moved his friends to safety and then tried to help the bus driver, whose hand was pinned between rocks.

shot by Taliban appears on video By SYLVIA HUI The Associated Press

LONDON – In her first video statement since she was nearly killed, a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban remained defiant in arguing for girls’ education, saying Monday she would keep up the same campaign that led to the attack on her. Speaking clearly but with the left side of her face appearing rigid, 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai said she is “getting better, day by day” after undergoing weeks of treatment at a British hospital. “I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated. For that reason, we have organized the Malala Fund,” she said in the video, made available by a public relations firm. Malala drew the world’s at-

tention when she was shot in the head by Taliban militants Oct. 9 while on her way home from school in northwestern Pakistan. The Islamist group said it targeted her because she promoted girls’ education and “Western thinking” Malala and criticized Yousufzai the militant group’s behavior when it took over the scenic Swat Valley where she lived. The shooting sparked outrage in Pakistan and many other countries, and her story has captured global attention for the struggle for women’s rights in her homeland. In a sign of her impact, the teen made the shortlist for Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2012.

Records: Veteran had been hospitalized He is accused of killing ex-sniper The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas – The Iraq War veteran charged with killing a former Navy SEAL sniper and his friend on a Texas shooting range had been taken to a mental hospital twice in the past five months and told authorities he was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder, police records show.

Eddie Ray Routh, 25, also told his sister and brother-inlaw after the shootings that he “traded his soul for a new truck,” according to an Erath County arrest warrant affidavit obtained by WFAA-TV. Police said Routh was driving the truck of victim and exNavy SEAL Chris Kyle at the time of his arrest. Routh is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Kyle, author of the best-selling book “American Sniper,” and his friend Chad Littlefield at a

He was on suicide watch Monday in the Erath County Jail, where he was being held on $3 million bail, Sheriff Tommy Bryant said. Routh, a member of the Marines Corps Reserve, was first taken to a mental hospital Sept. 2 after he threatened

to kill his family and himself, according to police records in Lancaster, where Routh lives. Authorities found Routh walking nearby with no shirt and no shoes, and smelling of alcohol. Routh told authorities he was a Marine veteran who was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. “Eddie stated he was hurting and that his family does not understand what he has been through,” the report says. Routh’s mother told police her son had been drinking and became upset when his father

said he was going to sell his gun. She said Routh argued with them and said he was going to “blow his brains out.” Police took Routh to Green Oaks Hospital for psychiatric care. Dallas police records show Routh was taken back to the same mental hospital in mid-January after a woman called police and said she feared for Routh’s safety. Green Oaks will not release patient information, citing privacy laws. Most people brought by police to the hospital must stay at least 48 hours.

Several districts have boosted number of AP classes Area AP enrollment

Heiser said she has more writing in her AP classes. “You write more papers, you have to think about things more than just memorizing,” she said. “It’s critical thinking. There isn’t solid answers to everything.” Johnsburg High School, which offers 10 advanced placement courses, began offering AP government in 2006. AP U.S. History was added four years ago. Uthe said he has students where AP government might be their first AP class. “They really start to understand the material more,” Uthe said. “Their reading skills increase, their writing skills increase. That’s a result of the fact they’re really being challenged at the AP level, and they’re able to step up to it.” Students who take AP classes can take an exam in May, and if they score a three or higher on a five-point scale, they can earn college credit. The credit might allow them to take other courses in college after they place out of entrylevel classes. In recent years, some schools have increased the number of AP classes they offer. McHenry District 156 plans to add psychology and human geography next year. “We have had a huge growth in those taking courses,” said Brent Raby, director of curriculum and instruction for District 156. Of those students who take the end-of-the-year exams, about two-thirds in District

Dan Grobarcik hands in a quiz Monday at the beginning of an advanced placement government class at Johnsburg High School. AP classes are more challenging, help prepare students for college level work and might lead to saving money, Grobarcik said. “It makes you want to work and think about things.” 156 earn college credit, Raby said. But not all students take the end-of-year exam, he said. Each exam costs the student $89. There are cost reductions for those on free or reduced lunch. But “that $89 investment can save thousand of dollars in the long run,” Raby said. Saving money down the line is just one benefit. Being in a more rigorous class than the traditional high school class is another reason for taking an AP course. The classes offer more exposure to the subject area and allow students to challenge themselves. “It’s the rigor and measur-

ing yourself up to college-level work,” Raby said. “If I’m a senior and I’m going to college next year, it would be nice to know, ‘How ready am I?’ ” “Our big push is getting them into class,” Raby said. At Johnsburg High School, enrollment in AP classes is holding steady, Assistant Principal Kim Hinley said. Staff at that school encourage students to take AP courses if they have an interest in the subject. AP classes require more independent work and independent reading by students, Hinley said. For classes such as AP calculus or an AP science class,

there is more application of concepts, especially with labs or practice problems. “Students have to be dedicated and put effort outside the classroom,” Hinley said. “There’s much more independent work that needs to be done. When they come to class, it is more in-depth discussion.” At Huntley High School, psychology, macroeconomics, microeconomics, art history and environmental science are among the AP classes offered. At Huntley, students who take AP courses are required to take the AP exam at the end of the year, which allows

If students aren’t doing well, it might be a sign the school needs to change the curriculum, AP calculus teacher Steve Styers said. “Part of taking an AP course is students accept and want a taste of what a college course is,” Styers said. “In a college course, you have a high-stakes test in the end.”

Roads, welfare funding bill has come up in Legislature before • HOUSE

The money had been set aside but not appropriated because Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration hoped there would be a new contract agreement with employees that would trim health insurance costs. But the governor and the largest workers’ union remain deadlocked on a pact to replace the one that expired June 30. The so-called supplemental appropriation – including

e ng! e Fr ppi i h S

the infusion of road money and the transfer of child-protection funds – failed after political bickering in the Senate during the final days of the last legislative session in early January. A committee controlled by Democrats voted it down when senators objected to funding going to or being withheld from areas such as public schools or horse racing. That made businesses and organized labor nervous. The Transportation for Illinois Coalition turned up the pressure

last week, saying the Legislature needed to move quickly to get the trucks moving this spring – the season begins as early as next month when project bids are solicited for the first time. The money includes a $175 million infusion of federal money after Congress adopted a new national transit strategy last summer. There’s $225 million of state money available this year from healthy motor-fuel tax revenues and leftovers from previous projects that cost less than expected.

Because of the additional revenue and other favorable conditions, the Department of Transportation, which plans improvements in fiveyear increments, also plans to move up $275 million in work scheduled for the final four years and break ground this spring, Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider said. The Department of Children and Family Services would avoid as many as 1,900 layoffs with its $25 million boost, spokesman Dave Clarkin said. Middle management positions have been eliminat-

Those positions include 138 investigators who knock on doors in response to abuse complaints, staff members to recruit foster parents because of shortages, and other employees to focus on moving foster kids back into homes with their birth families. Currie said legislative appropriations leaders identified more than $58 million in general revenue that had been appropriated last spring but which won’t be spent.

8world brief Experts find remains of King Richard III

LEICESTER, England – He was king of England, but for centuries he lay without shroud or coffin in an unknown grave, and his name became a byword for villainy. On Monday, scientists announced they had rescued the remains of Richard III from anonymity – and the monarch’s fans hope a revival of his reputation will soon follow. In a dramatically orchestrated news conference, a team of archaeologists, geneticists, genealogists and other scientists from the University of Leicester announced that tests had proven what they scarcely dared to hope – a scarred and broken skeleton unearthed under a drab municipal parking lot was that of the 15th century king, the last English monarch to die in battle. Lead archaeologist Richard Butler said that a battery of tests proved “beyond reasonable doubt” that the remains were the king’s.

New York steak restaurants serve the best tasting steak in the world Joe Namath reveals their secrets Announces portable stove that cooks steaks and other food like New York’s top restaurants By Shelly Hufford, Media Services

Chef Jon Molnar™, a major specialty food comp a n y, h a s a n n o u n c e d a breakthrough new product, The Namath Portable Infrared Stove produced by EdenPURE®. When you taste a steak or other food cooked on this stove, you will never go back to your old cooking appliances. The Namath Portable Infrared Stove cuts fat and calories when cooking meats like the George Forman Grill. But, it does it in a much more advanced way and in a way that makes food taste much better. T h e G e o rg e F o r m a n Grill presses juices out of meats which makes them dry tasting. The Namath Stove seals in juices making meats juicy and far better tasting. The Namath Portable Infrared Stove has far infrared heat which cooks 2 times faster, saves money, makes food tastes much better and has many health benefits. It cooks a one inch thick porterhouse steak in 4 minutes. Here is my exclusive interview with Joe Namath to provide details of this sensational new product, The Namath Portable Infrared Stove. Q: How did a famous Hall of Fame NFL Football Quarterback get involved with a portable stove? A: My cousin is Chef Jon Molnar who runs The Chef Jon Molnar™ Specialty Food Company. One of his products is Genuine Tuscany Italian™ pasta and pizza sauces. Consumers are going crazy over these sauces because they taste so much better than American sauces. They are made with genuine Tuscany Italian recipes and tomatoes. Jon called me one day and asked if I would taste the sauces and, if I liked them, would I endorse them? I tasted the sauces. I too went crazy over them. I agreed to endorse Jon’s Genuine Tuscany Italian™ sauces. While we were working out the details, I mentioned to Jon that, now that I live in Florida, I really miss the food in New York restaurants, especially the steaks and pizzas. The top New York steak restaurants have the best tasting steaks in the world, especially Peter Luger’s. I asked Jon if he could figure out what these New York steakhouses do to make the steaks taste so good. So, Jon went to New York with one of his assistants and goes to this world’s best steakhouse in Brooklyn, Peter Luger’s. He found out exactly what they do to make the steaks taste so good. First, Jon found that Peter Luger’s dry ages its steaks. Most other restaurants wet age their steaks. The dry aging makes a significant difference in taste. But, that is not the biggest secret. Jon was able to look inside their kitchen. He found that they do not grill their steaks like other restau-

Pop-on stone baking oven goes on burners when needed

2 infrared burners

Infrared Broiler Pictured above is Joe Namath and his cousin Chef Jon Molnar with the breakthrough new Namath Portable Infrared Stove. With this stove you can make steaks and other foods that taste like the top New York restaurants. The stove also cooks 2 times faster, saves money and has many health benefits. It reduces fat and calories when cooking meats, but, keeps in the juices for delicious flavor.

The Namath Portable Infrared Stove uses far infrared as the heat source. Far infrared cooks 2 times faster than all other heat sources. Gas and charcoal grills only get to 600 degrees. This stove gets to over 1000 degrees which seals in flavor and nutrition in foods. The top of the stove has 2 burners, the bottom is an advanced broiler and a pop-on stone baking oven goes on the burners when needed. Therefore, this stove replaces an entire kitchen or restaurant stove. It cooks a one inch thick porterhouse steak in only 4 minutes.

The Namath Portable Infrared Stove will make any food taste much better than cooking them with gas grills, frying pans, conventional broilers or regular ovens. It will cook steaks that taste like the top New York City steak restaurants. It will also cook fish, burgers, barbecue ribs and other foods with a taste far superior to conventional cooking. It will bake pizza and other baked foods like top New York Italian restaurants.

The Namath Portable Infrared Stove is portable. It weighs only 35 pounds. It is electric. Just plug it in and use it anywhere. You can use it in your kitchen, backyard, tailgating and at campsites. Because the infrared heat cooks twice as fast as conventional heat sources, you can cook a lot of food in a short period of time to feed large groups.

rants. They broil their steaks. But, they do not use an ordinary broiler. The broilers are highly advanced infrared broilers. The broiler infrared heat source puts out 800 degrees of heat. They put their steaks on a drawer type shelf that adjusts in distance from the heat source. They start out close to the heat which caramelizes the surface of the steak which seals in the flavor, nutrition and juices. They then drop the shelf gradually down through the broiling process. All of this has many health benefits. My stove is better. It has infrared heat that gets to over 1000 degrees, cooks faster and has more health benefits. Q: What are these health benefits? A: First, the heat source is above the food you are broiling. The excess fat drips down which is caught in a pan. This reduces the fat content and calories of food. The process also seals in more nutrition in foods. Far infrared heat is well documented scientifically to have health benefits. When you grill meat, it is hard not to burn it. Burnt meat is a carcinogen which is well documented in the medical profession. With broiling, it is very easy to avoid burning meat. Q: What are all the foods you can cook with The Namath Portable Infrared Stove? A: You can cook just about anything. The top of the stove has 2 infrared burners. There is a pop-on stone baking oven that fits

on the top burners. This stone baking oven not only makes the best tasting pizzas you will ever eat, but, you also can bake anything in the oven such as bread, Stromboli, casseroles, cakes, pastries, cookies, and much more. The bottom has the advanced infrared broiler. This super broiler will make the best tasting steaks, ribs, chicken, burgers, and fish that you ever tasted. It will also cook vegetables in a way that maximizes their taste and crispness. You can buy frozen French fries, and, instead of baking them in a regular oven which leaves them soggy, you can broil them, and they will be crisp. Q: How does The Namath Portable Infrared Stove save the consumer money? A: It saves money in a number of ways. You do not have to preheat large ovens. The far infrared heat produces heat for 30% less than conventional heat sources. So, you can save 50% on cooking costs. You can save a lot of money on food because the stove cooks food so fast that you don’t have to make up big batches, much of which goes to waste. Government studies show that 25% of food is wasted because people cook more than the amounts they need. Therefore, this stove will pay for itself in a very short time. Q: Where can you use The Namath Portable Infrared Stove? A: It is electric so you

can use it anywhere. It is portable and weighs only 35 pounds. It replaces a whole stove. You can use it in your kitchen, on your patio or on your porch. It is perfect for tailgating. It is great if you have a camping trailer or motor home. You will have the benefits of a whole stove right at your camping site. You can also use it in motel rooms when you travel and save a lot of money on food yet eat like a king. Q: Where can my readers get dry aged steaks? A: You cannot get them in stores. It is a very involved process. People who buy the stove will become Preferred Clients. Along with their stove will be a Joe Namath Preferred Client Discount Catalog which allows them to get dry aged steaks and many other meats at a big discount. However, the biggest factor of making the steaks taste so much better than regular steaks is the infrared broiling process of this stove. This broiling process will make any steak or other foods taste much better. It also makes cheaper supermarket steaks taste like top New York restaurant steaks. Q.

Punishment fit the crime George Ryan did the crime, and he did the time – more than five years behind bars – despite the determined efforts of friends in high places who tried to have Illinois’ former governor released early. Illinoisans who believe corrupt politicians should be duly punished for their crimes can take satisfaction that justice was served. Ryan, 78, Illinois’ governor For the record from 1999 to 2003, was convicted Former Illinois Gov. George of corruption Ryan was released from prison charges in 2006 last week after serving 6 ½ and sentenced to 6 years of his sentence on cor½ years in federal prison. He entered ruption charges. prison on Nov. 7, 2007. Ryan’s lawyer was another former governor, James R. Thompson, who defended Ryan free of charge and constantly looked for ways to get his friend out of jail. In late 2008, after Ryan had served barely one year in prison, Thompson pushed to have outgoing President George W. Bush grant clemency to Ryan. Ryan, Thompson and Bush all are Republicans, but surprisingly, some Democrats rallied to the cause. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin called for Ryan’s early release. So did then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, mere weeks before he himself was arrested on federal corruption charges. Unfortunately for Ryan, but thankfully for the public, Bush ignored the clemency request. Ryan remained in prison. A second big push to have Ryan freed early came during the final illness of Ryan’s wife, Lura Lynn, who died of cancer in June 2011. Thompson tried every trick in the book to have Ryan freed early so that he could be at the side of his frail wife. Although officials allowed Ryan to leave prison temporarily to visit her, the criminal justice system stood firm that Ryan must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before his release. Last Wednesday, after more than five years and two months, Ryan was released from the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., to home confinement at his Kankakee house. He was allowed to skip living at a Chicago halfway house. He will remain on home confinement until his prison sentence officially ends on July 4. Compared with Ryan, two previous corrupt Illinois governors got off easy. Otto Kerner, sentenced to three years in prison for corruption in the 1970s, served only seven months. Dan Walker, sentenced to a total of seven years in the 1980s for bank fraud and perjury, served only 18 months. Ryan served the state as House speaker, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and governor. He served more than five years in prison. And he now serves as a stark reminder that political corruption is no longer a game in Illinois. Those convicted of it should no longer expect quick reprieves. Ryan’s successor, Blagojevich, began his 14year prison term for corruption in March. Under federal rules, nearly 12 years must elapse before Blagojevich can expect to be released. Ryan’s failure to win early release gives no comfort to Blagojevich or his supporters. However, it should give great comfort to longsuffering Illinoisans who are sick of corrupt politicians running roughshod over the law, sullying the state’s reputation, and not paying the price.

To the Editor: We are gun owners and hunters. Weapons of mass murder such as assault rifles, giant magazines and “cop killer,” armor-piercing bullets are not needed for hunting or home protection. In defending these military-type weapons, the NRA is defending only the needs of terrorists and future mass murderers. A civilized society would ban them.

End hunger

To the Editor: How do you feel about living in the richest country in the world with so many hungry here? In 2011, the estimated costs for hunger was $167.5 billion, including effects on health, education and economic productivity. Also, 1.46 million U.S. households (2.8 million children) lived on less than $2 per person per day. We can eliminate most hunger in the U.S. in 10 years. How? Ensure that all jobs pay enough so no full-time worker has to support

a family in poverty. Strengthen nutrition and other anti-poverty programs so that if a family suffers a sharp drop in income due to a job loss, illness, etc., none of the family are at risk of hunger. Invest in human development through education and skills for jobs the country needs. Poverty, education and earnings are at the root of the humancapital challenge. Call or write your congressional representatives to make ending hunger a priority (http://www.bread.org). Deb Martin

Marty is a CPA and lawyer – the right credentials to fix the mess made by Moore. Moore’s reign as supervisor has been so contentious that she has been sued by, or is suing, the assessor, the highway commissioner, and the board of trustees – virtually every other elected township official – in at least four separate lawsuits.

In 1986, the gang convinced us that the solution to an estimated 3 million illegal immigrants was to grant them legal status. They told us that their plan would end the problem of illegal immigrants in the future by enacting tougher penalties on businesses that hire or recruit unauthorized immigrants and by increasing border security. Their plan was so successful that by 2012, there were an estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants and visa overstays. At this rate, there should be about 36

Despite the monumental failure of their 1986 plan to control the borders and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and visa overstays, the gang the can’t shoot straight is back again with another immigration reform act. It appears that a new plan will pass this year, because Republicans who have generally opposed granting legal status to illegal immigrants now seem to be on board with the Democrats, as they hope to increase their base in the Hispanic community. Enforcement and implementation of the new immigration plan will require additional new funding and agencies to oversee the program – just what we need with the country already sinking in a sea of debt. Anyone who believes that a new immigration reform plan will be any more successful than the disastrous 1986 plan probably also believes that the Cubs will win the World Series in 2013.

Lack of debate about women in combat is dereliction of duty

Polling that shows Americans favor women in combat by a 2-to-1 margin is evidence only of the power of misinformation. And, yes, indoctrination. Arguments favoring women in direct combat are perhaps wellintentioned, focusing on fairness, opportunity and pride in certain women’s abilities. Unfortunately, most people who make those arguments are operating on false assumptions. And, shall we say, mis-truths. It’s not their fault. For the past several decades, the media and popular culture have relentlessly advanced the fantasy narrative of women as groin-kicking, martialarts divas of doom. Where are all the brave men and women who know better? Would that lawmakers could stop preening for cameras long enough to examine the issue more closely. Democrats may be merely falling in line with their commander in chief, but Republicans seem to be suffering from Stockholm syndrome. They’ve been slapped

around for so long, they’ve become sympathetic to their captors. The two most popular arguments for inclusion of women in combat would be valid if only they weren’t incorrect. They are: 1. Only qualified women will be included in combat units; 2. We have a volunteer military and, therefore, only those who want to serve in combat will. It is certainly true that some women are more fit than some men, but it is also true that most aren’t as capable of becoming as strong as most men. As I’ve written before, women have just about half the upper-body strength as men, which is serious business when you’re hiking with a 65-pound (and often heavier) load on your back or hoisting a wounded comrade. It is no coincidence that stress fractures are significantly higher among female recruits than among males during basic training. This is no insult to women. We’re talking about muscle mass that comes with the packaging and has nothing to do with how many

VIEWS Kathleen Parker times a week one goes to the gym. (Or how ripped Demi Moore gets for a movie.) It’s more than clear, meanwhile, that physical standards would be lowered to allow women where they don’t belong. We know this because Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently said as much: “If we do decide that a particular standard is so high that a woman couldn’t make it, the burden is now on the service to come back and explain to the secretary, why is it that high? Does it really have to be that high?” Translation: If women can’t meet the standards, we’ll just “gendernorm” them. As to whether this is good for our military effectiveness, one can only hope that our enemies are of like mind.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

One rather doubts it. As for our all-volunteer military, this is true as far as it goes. In fact, men do not have the option of declining combat. How can the military justify giving women special treatment? Letting women, but not men, choose whether to enter combat duty likely would cause deep resentment among male soldiers. To make life more fair and allow both sexes to choose would be, as military sociologist Charles Moskos once put it, “the end of an effective military force.” Similarly, there could be no excluding women should a military draft be reinstated. This is unlikely in the near future – Rep. Charles Rangel’s regular call for a mandatory draft notwithstanding. Baby boomers who recall the Vietnam draft likely would protest. But others with dimmer memories – or a younger generation that has been marinated in the anything-boyscan-do-girls-can-do-better dogma of feminist wishful thinking – might find a draft more ... egalitarian.

Indeed, it would be. Once women are placed in direct combat roles (as opposed to finding themselves in a combat arena), there may be no justification for excluding them from registering for the Selective Service. The argument against drafting women was always predicated in part upon women’s exclusion from combat. Women have performed admirably throughout history in a variety of roles that have included combat situations, which is not the same as directly engaging an enemy. But there are other ways to promote women without pitting them against men, who, if women are given special treatment, will resent them to the endangerment of all. That our Congress is accepting this change without any debate isn’t progress. It is a dereliction of duty and, one is tempted to say, suggestive of cowardice.

Car crashes into CL restaurant CRYSTAL LAKE – The Breakers Restaurant in Crystal Lake is temporarily closed after a vehicle crashed into the kitchen Sunday morning, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. Judy McGurn, owner of the restaurant at 7728 Route 14, said she is unsure when the business will reopen, but said it will reopen. She was waiting Monday for damage estimates and was working with the business’s insurance company. Investigators determined that Ryan Whetham, 29, of Crystal Lake, was driving west on Route 14 about 7 a.m. when he became distracted by something he dropped on the floor. He veered off the roadway and struck the building, knocking a hole in the wall of the kitchen area. The restaurant was not open at the time. Whetham was issued two citations.

Man vows an eventual trial Arrested in 2007 on suspicion of hiring hit man to kill son By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – In a wheelchair being pushed down the courthouse hallways by his attorney, a man accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill his son vowed to

recover from lung cancer to stand trial. “As soon as I’m able, we’re going to go [to trial],” William G. Gersch said. “I’m not running from this at all.” In March 2007, FBI agents and McHenry County sheriff’s deputies arrested Gersch,

63, of McHenry, at a Janesville, Wis., restaurant. It was there that Gersch allegedly met an undercover agent, whom police said Gersch thought was a hit man, to discuss the murder plot. Police said he gave “Eddie” $2,500 and agreed to pay

Boy, 11, beams

another $2,500 after the murder. Gersch ordered the killing, police said, because he blamed his son for Gersch’s own failed marriage and for preventing him from seeing his grandchildren. Gersch, who faces up to 40

years in prison if convicted, posted $10,000 bail and was released shortly after his arrest. He said Monday that there was a lot more to the case and that many allegations against him were contorted.

Make-A-Wish puts lupus patient in limelight at Algonquin restaurant

– Lawerence Synett

Police arrest man on drug charges A crash led to the arrest of a Crystal Lake man early Saturday on drug charges. Lazarus D. Larkin, 23, was driving north on Route 31 about 3 a.m. when he struck a southbound vehicle, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Larkin’s vehicle ended up in a ditch at Route 31 and Gracy Road in Prairie Ridge. Authorities said Larkin had a warrant for failure to appear on a previous marijuana charge. Deputies also found Larkin was in possession of marijuana smoking pipes, a scale and a grinder, the news release said. Larkin was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, improper lane usage and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. He was being held Monday in the McHenry County Jail on $6,780 bond.

McHenry hears wish list New tower to speed of $100 million in projects Woodstock Internet, By JANE HUH jhuh@shawmedia.com

Eileen R. Fuchs 86, Woodstock

ALGONQUIN – Sunshine. That is the perfect word to describe 11-yearold Michael Masters. To sit across from him as he indulges in his favorite double dog from Dante’s in Algonquin, one can’t help but feel the positivity he radiates and the warmth he ignites in the heart, holding his smile during each enormous bite. Just another one of life’s inexplicable misfortunes. Sunshine is the one thing that Michael needs to avoid. On Nov. 1, the Algonquin boy was told he had systemic lupus ereythematosis, an autoimmune disease more commonly known as lupus. In a very matter-of-fact and grownup way, Michael explained that his body sees his organs as disease, which

causes his body to attack healthy tissue. “I knew it was going to be bad,” Michael said. “They kept associating it with cancer. I don’t see my Papa very much because he lives in Colorado and when he found out, he said he would be on the first plane out. I knew that wasn’t normal.” Although Michael understands the seriousness of his disease and all that comes with chemotherapy treatments, steroid injections and a laundry list of medications, his attitude remains light and full of excitement for the future. “I’m a happy person,” he said. “I’m always smiling and having fun.” Michael gathered with friends and family Monday evening at his favorite restaurant, Dante’s, for a night

McHENRY – City administrators presented a wish list of more than $100 million in capital improvement projects Monday for the next five fiscal years. The 68 projects far exceed the city’s anticipated financial resources, so the wish list is meant to serve as a budgetary guide, said McHenry City Administrator Derik Morefield. “It allows for the annual evaluation, prioritization, and scheduling of projects via a uniform, consistent, and objective process,”

Morefield wrote in a memo summing up the fiscal 2013 to 2018 plan. City Council members said the projects are necessary, even if the city lacks resources to pay for them. Alderman Andy Glab pushed for better enforcement of city vehicle fees. “We could almost double out city revenues if we enforced it,” Glab said. “[Some residents] are irritated at paying it only because they know there are people who aren’t.” The capital improvements plan includes “status updates” of budgeted projects. This year, 20 projects

totaling $6.8 million were approved, budgeted and scheduled for completion in April. State and federal funding covered $2 million of the $6.8 million. “Projects identified for implementation in [the capital improvement plan] may be modified, moved up, pushed out to successive years, or deleted entirely,” Morefield said. “Additionally, and most importantly, the actual inclusion of projects in any capital budget year is dependent upon the availability of funds and the priority of the project within the community.”

WOODSTOCK – A new, 120-foot tower behind Stan’s Office Technologies will allow the business to provide a faster and more reliable Internet connection, the company said. The tower will transmit signals directly to the city’s tower in Emricson Park. Stan’s uses the city’s tower in exchange for providing city departments with free Internet and email service, Planning and Zoning Administrator Jim Kastner said.

The new tower allows the company to shoot a clearer signal between the towers, said Tony Steadman, of Stan’s. “Primarily what we’re trying to accomplish is to deliver more bandwidth to our other tower sites,” Steadman said. Construction crews finished the tower last week, and the company plans to put it in use within the next 30 days. The City Council granted the business a special-use permit for it in November – a requirement for any tower or antenna above 100 feet in a

8LOCAL BRIEFS Lakemoor trustee off ballot, board decides

LAKEMOOR – Trustee Kimberly Beach was one signature shy of the number required on the nominating petition, and her name will not be on the April ballot, the Lakemoor Electoral Board decided Saturday. Fellow Trustee Colin McIntyre filed objections to the candidacies of Beach and another Village Board hopeful, Joseph Enright. Candidates were required to file petitions with the signatures of at least 50 people who are Lakemoor residents and registered voters. Beach submitted 52 signatures and Enright 55, but according to McIntyre’s objection, not all of the signatures are valid. Village Clerk Bonnie Sikora said she can’t remember an objection being filed in the years she’s been with the village – since 1999, although she hasn’t always been clerk. A meeting is expected this week to decide whether Enright’s name stays on the ballot in the village of 6,000 residents. Beach did not return a call or email asking what her plans are. If she chooses to run as a write-in candidate, she has until Thursday to file a notarized declaration of intent with the McHenry County Clerk’s Office.

Michael already thinking about going to college • WISH

“Even if Michael’s wish wasn’t granted, we had so much fun dreaming about it. He is so positive and enlightening. His smiling face is what gets us through.”

Continued from page B1 of food and fun, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Dante’s owner Radi Hashish. “Tonight is all about Michael,” Hashish said. “We are honored to have him here. Tonight, this is his restaurant. He’s the boss.” Michael took orders from behind the counter, outfitted in his newly acquired Dante’s T-shirt, Vienna Beef apron and hat, and wearing his signature ear-to-ear smile. He joked with his little brother about putting barbecue sauce on his hot dog.

Jen Schuh Michael’s mother “This is an enhancement of his wish,” said Ken Kemp, Michael’s wish granter. “Michael is always cheerful. I became a volunteer for MakeA-Wish because I love the relationship that you get to form with these children and their families. You never lose track, and Michael is such an

inspiration.” Michael’s family is soon to receive a hot tub with a gazebo over it, along with an enclosed sitting area, as his wish. It will be a safe place where Michael can enjoy reading and playing outside without the threat that direct sunlight poses.

“Even if Michael’s wish wasn’t granted, we had so much fun dreaming about it,” said his mother, Jen Schuh. “He is so positive and enlightening. His smiling face is what gets us through.” Michael’s dream of becoming an NFL football player likely is not in the cards, but he is hopeful and said he enjoys the program at his middle school that gets kids thinking about their college path. “I’m going to make sure I stay out of the sun and take my pills,” Michael said. “I know it will be hard when the summer comes, but I’ll still have fun.”

“For years, I suffered from unbearable stiffness and swelling in my hands”

“How I BEAT The Pain That Almost Ended My Career!” By Jaudon Sunde Medical Cosmetic Technician For nine long years, I lived in sheer agony. I suffered from inflammation and horrible stiffness in my hands. Unless you’ve experienced it for yourself, you can’t imagine how bad the pain really is. It nearly crippled me and almost ended my career. As a Medical Micropigmentation Specialist in Cleveland, Ohio, I need my hands for applying medical tattooing and permanent makeup for cancer patients, burn victims, and for people who need facial reconstruction. I was proud that in 2010, FOX 8 TV news viewers voted me the “Best Permanent Cosmetic Technician” in the area and I have consistently ranked in the top 2% nationally. But suddenly, my career was in danger. I was told that the intense precision of my work combined with the brutal cold winters in Ohio contributed to major stiffness and inflammation. So naturally, I tried just about every pain remedy and topical cream on the market. Nothing worked. The pain was getting worse and worse. So for all these years, I got by on a steady regimen of over-the-counter pills. The pain in my hands got so bad that I started taking pain relievers 2-3 times a day. And still my agony persisted. I was faced with a dreadful choice: Either have the painful surgery on my hands and be laid up for months... or cut my workload in half. I was between a rock and a hard place. I couldn’t afford to do either. I had to find a better way to get real relief. Then one day at dinner a friend of mine told me that inflammation is worse than I thought. “It’s called the ‘secret killer,’ and for good reason,” he said. “Left alone, it can ravage your arteries, chew up nerve cells in your brain, and lead to all kinds of age-related ailments. “The good news is that researchers at the University of Arizona have now confirmed that the Nopal cactus — found in the Sonoran

Desert in the southwest U.S. — has tremendous power. It can help fight off harmful inflammation without risky drugs. And it can help reduce the pain caused by inflammation. “It turns out that the fruit of this plant is loaded with a special concentration of something called a ‘bioflavonoid.’ It’s a super-powerful antioxidant that scientists believe to be perhaps the best natural anti-inflammatory agent on the planet. And it’s proven to reduce inflammation and detoxify your body naturally.” He then spoke the words that would change my life. “I think all you need to do is try a fruit drink.” I was shocked! How is an ordinary fruit drink going to end my misery? “Well, it’s not an ordinary fruit drink. It’s called Nopalea, a breakthrough wellness drink that contains these incredible bioflavonoids I told you about. Drink it and you’ll be amazed how great you’re going to feel.” I was skeptical, but I was also desperate. He brought me a bottle and I took a sip. I was shocked that it actually tasted fruity and delicious. I really enjoyed drinking it. In just 5-6 days, an amazing thing happened. I started to feel much better. My stiffness loosened up and I moved around better than I had in years with no pain. I was overjoyed! The inflammation in my hands showed dramatic improvement. I kept taking 3 ounces of Nopalea twice a day and after about 30 days, I could perform my duties 95% pain free! Even the doctors I work with were amazed at my amazing improvement. I no longer need surgery. I am busier than ever before and I love it! I also found out that the bioflavonoids in Nopalea aid my body in healing by surrounding unhealthy cells and draining them of toxic waste. But don’t believe me. You must try this drink for yourself. If you’re suffering with the same

Prosecutor eager for trial start • GERSCH

Continued from page B1

Prosecutors offered him a plea deal, Gersch said, but he refused to take it “because I would be admitting to something that I didn’t do.” “I could have been all done with all of this,” he said. On Friday, Judge Charles P. Weech allowed Gersch’s attorney, Matthew Haiduk, a continuance until March 25, at which time they must present doctors’ notes from Gersch’s general practitioner, cardiologist and oncologist. Otherwise, Weech said he would have to appoint a doctor – at the county’s expense – to evaluate Gersch. Although Gersch said he was “ready to go,” Weech said he did not believe Gersch has the ability to assist Haiduk on a day-to-day basis. In court, Gersch was able to slowly approach the bench, but he

used a wheelchair to leave the courthouse. He said he had fallen earlier in the day. Weech said he understands that prosecutors want to get the case done, but he has to balance Gersch’s rights, as well. “You deserve to have a fair trial,” he told Gersch. Outside court, Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs, who is chief of the criminal division, expressed frustration. “I’ve asked numerous times to try the case,” he said. The same day that his father was arrested for the alleged plot to kill him, William J. Gersch, 41, was arrested on unrelated drug charges. He pleaded guilty in 2010 and was sentenced to two years in prison. At the time of the arrests, the Gersches were neighbors. The elder Gersch said they still are today, but they don’t speak to each other. “Why would we?” he said.

Tower to improve Internet speed • TOWER

Continued from page B1 commercial zoning district. Opened in 1960, Stan’s started as a business selling and servicing adding machines, cash registers and typewriters. Today, the company provides a variety of technology services, including network design and file server upgrades, and laser printer and copier repair, according to

the company’s website, www. stans.com. The company also provides Internet service to an area in about a five-mile radius of Woodstock. Those customers will receive an upgrade in service when the new tower is up and running, Steadman said. “It will improve the speeds as well as provide redundancy, so that if there are any problems at one tower, it doesn’t affect the other towers,” he said.

Prime time for first-timers

New buyers important part of housing market First-time home buyers have long been an important part of the housing market. And that hasn’t changed today. According to the 2012 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors, firsttime buyers accounted for 39 percent of all housing sales from July 2011 through June 2012. “First-time buyers are my primary market at this time,” said Laurie Christofano, with Re/Max in the Village Realtors, Oak Park. “There has been a new excitement among firsttime buyers during the last year. They see that we are at the bottom as far as housing prices go. They understand just how low interest rates are. And they have gotten the message that homeownership in the long-term is a really good thing as far as being able to provide stability for their families, build up equity and fashion a longterm plan for their lives.” Jeff Donnellan, with Re/Max Vision 212 in Chicago, says that he advises first-time buyers to skip the starter-home mentality and instead purchase a larger home within their budget that they can grow into as their needs change. For instance, instead of buying a two-bedroom condo, first-time buyers might instead choose a single-family home or condo that boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms. That way, if the buyers should have a baby, they’ll have enough room. They won’t have to immediately move again. “I recommend that my first-time buyers find a home that will suit them for a good five years,” Donnellan says. “If their lives change, a versatile home is a stable part of their lives instead of a burden. And it usually takes five to seven years for most owners to pay down their mortgage enough, while their home appreciates enough, to be able to sell and make a profit. They won’t have to bring money to the closing.”

Registry for down payment Engaged couples and newlyweds have a new option to make their dream of home ownership a reality. StartingPoint Realty, an agency dedicated to first-time home buyers, has launched StartingTogether Registry to help couples build their savings for a down payment. StartingTogether is an easy, convenient way for couples to have their wedding guests contribute to a down payment toward their future new home. The gift money is deposited directly into an account set up by the couple at a bank of their choosing. Couples can either provide their guest list to StartingPoint, which will then send the registry card with information on how to contribute, or, they can enclose the registry card within shower or wedding invitations. Founded in 2004, StartingPoint Realty is a real estate agency focused on the first-time home buyer market in Chicago and the suburbs. For more information, visit startingpointrealty.com. With housing prices still at affordable levels across Chicago and its suburbs, it’s easier for first-time buyers to get into those homes that are a bit larger. James Ludes, an agent with Re/ Max Top Properties in Morris, said that today’s first-time buyers are more realistic than they were in the past. Ludes has worked in residential real estate for 10 years, so he witnessed the housing boom of the early to mid-2000s. Back then, first-time buyers frequently stretched their budgets to get into the largest homes possible. Today, though, first-timers are more budgetconscious, looking for homes that will suit their needs and allow for growth but not put them in financial peril.

“At the peak of the market, your first-time buyers were going for the gusto,” Ludes said. “They were looking for everything they could get in a house. If they were pre-approved for a mortgage loan of $240,000, they’d want to see everything up to $250,000. If they could get 3,000 square feet and it was just two people, why not? Today, firsttime buyers are being more realistic. They are looking for homes that will serve their needs for the amount of time they plan on staying there.” As with all buyers, first-time buyers are interested in location. But Re/ Max Northern Illinois agents say that today’s first-time buyers are frequently looking for homes located within walking distance of public transportation, restaurants and shops. And if buyers can find a home that allows them to ditch their cars? That’s even better, adds Donnellan. “Public transportation is a big key for a home’s value. If someone can live close to public transportation and if that person doesn’t need a car, that buyer can afford a lot more home. If you don’t have to worry about car payments, paying for gas, insurance and all the other costs associated with owning a car, you’ll have more money to get the right home.” Christofano says that many of her first-time buyers might not want to live in Chicago, but do want to feel connected to the city. They can do this by living near public transportation. And if they can buy outside of the city itself, these first-time buyers can afford more home. Housing prices in the Northern Illinois region are at affordable levels. Interest rates are at historic lows. At the same time, rents continue to rise. This makes owning a home sometimes more affordable than renting an apartment.

AbbVie earnings forecast higher than expected BLOOMBERG NORTH CHICAGO – AbbVie Inc. forecast 2013 earnings higher than analysts’ estimates, after sales surged for its arthritis treatment Humira, the world’s second-best selling medicine, and its testosterone-boosting gel. AbbVie, giving its first forecast since breaking away from Abbott Laboratories on Jan. 1 as an independent company, projected earnings excluding one-time items of $3.03 to $3.13 a share. The top end of the range is higher than the $3.08 average of 11 analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Abbott split its diversified healthcare products company, leaving medical devices, diagnostic tools and infant nutrition businesses with the parent, while North Chicago-based AbbVie became a drugmaker. Abbott Chief Executive Officer Miles White said

New stock listing Effective today, AbbVie, which trades under the symbol ABBV, has been added to the Northwest Herald’s list of stocks of local interest. the breakup was designed to get the other businesses out from the shadow of Humira, now AbbVie’s top-selling product with $9.27 billion in revenue last year. The focus is on AbbVie’s experimental drugs. William Chase, the company’s chief financial officer, said last month that AbbVie will try to develop specialty treatments rather than targeting primary care medicines. Among its leading experimental therapies is a hepatitis C treatment

targeted for the market in early 2015 that will eliminate shots of interferon, the standard yearlong treatment that has flu-like side-effects. Also in the final phase of testing usually needed for U.S. regulatory approval are medicines to treat multiple sclerosis and multiple myeloma. Sales of Humira increased 23 percent in the fourth quarter to $2.68 billion. Sales last year of the arthritis medicine trailed only the world’s best-selling drug, Pfizer Inc.’s cholesterol treatment Lipitor. Lipitor has been losing sales after generic copies came on the market last year. The testosterone-boosting treatment AndroGel rose 41 percent to $364 million in the fourth quarter as the company increased television advertisements for the medicine. Americans spent $1.15 billion on the drug in 2012, a 32 percent increase.

‘We love our customers’ We have a saying around the chamber: “We love our customers!” I view each business that chooses to invest in a chamber membership as our customer. Sam Walton was often quoted as saying that “There is only one boss… the customer. And they can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending their money somewhere else.” Yes, even chambers of commerce have competitors. Why is it then that so many customers never appear more than once? Well, the answer is they don’t care and the reason they don’t care is because we didn’t give them anything to care about. Quite often customers don’t feel appreciated. Sad but true. So how does one start to turn that around? Marketing guru Jay Abraham says: “The secret to success is to fall out of love with your product, service or store, and fall in love with your customers.” Customer-focused companies just look different, sound different and value different things and, frankly, customers notice. So, what can be done to show our customers that we love them? Here are some ideas plucked from a variety of sources: • When it comes to turning one-time customers into returning customers, you have to deliver exceptional service. Not just once or twice, but all the time. • If you make a promise, be sure to keep it. Your word is your deed and your reputation for honesty is paramount

chamber news Gary Reece with customers. • When things go south (and they do), apologize. Don’t play the blame game because no one wins. Instead, focus on just making it right, no matter who is at fault and don’t delay in doing so. • Customers love companies with employees who not only say “thank you” but who are enthusiastic about saying it. • Create customers who love you by embedding a culture of exceptional customer experience into your staff. Empower them to do great, even unexpected, things for the customer. • While it’s really important to get new customers, never, ever forget about the ones that already brought you to the dance. Putting customer’s needs, wants and desires first also will dramatically increase the “lifetime value” of a customer. “Lifetime value” means the total amount that person will spend over their life as your customer. When you love your customers and nurture your relationship properly, they will shop (and spend more) with you more often and send their family and friends to your business, too.

U.S. factory orders up 1.8 pct. in December The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. factory orders increased in December even though companies trimmed their orders for goods

that signal investment plans. Factory orders rose 1.8 percent in December compared to November, when orders had fallen 0.3 percent, the Commerce Department said Monday.

But demand for core capital goods, a category considered a proxy for business investment plans, dipped 0.3 percent in December following a strong gain of 3.3 percent in November.

Flu intensity may impact earnings The Associated Press CVS Caremark Corp. will give investors and analysts more insight Wednesday into how much the flu season and generic drugs have been helping the sector when it reports fourth-quarter earnings. The flu returned this winter with renewed intensity after a couple of mild seasons. Higher-than-normal reports of flu started cropping up in several states before Christ-

mas. This can help drugstore chains like CVS Caremark because it brings in more customers to stock up on prescriptions or pick up overthe-counter remedies for symptoms. The bottom line for CVS Caremark and other drugstore operators also has been helped by generic drugs for the past few quarters, and investors will want an update on that. Blockbuster medicines like the cholesterol fighter

Lipitor and the blood thinner Plavix, once the two topselling drugs in the United States, have lost U.S. patent protection from generic competition. Generic drugs hurt pharmacy revenue because they cost less than brandname products. But they help profitability because they provide a wider margin between the cost for the pharmacy to purchase the drugs and the reimbursement received.

Grammys lineup

Frank Ocean says no charges Frank Ocean says he won’t pursue criminal charges against Chris Brown, who is alleged to have punched Ocean in a recent fight. “As a child I thought if someone jumped me it would result in me murdering or mutilating a man,” the R&B star wrote on his Tumblr page Saturday. “But as a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity. No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit.” Brown was under investigation for his role in a fight outside a West Hollywood recording studio on Jan. 27, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said. On Monday, Whitmore said an investigation into the fight soon would be closed without any charges being sought. Whitmore said investigators would speak with Ocean before closing the case, but the agency was unlikely to pursue a misdemeanor battery charge against Brown. Witnesses told deputies Brown punched Ocean during an argument over a parking space. Ocean later tweeted that he “got jumped by Chris and a couple guys” and suffered a finger cut. Brown has not commented on the allegation. Brown, 23, remains on probation for attacking Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards and is due back in court on Feb. 6 to update a judge on his progress. Ocean is scheduled to perform at the Grammys on Feb. 10, where he’s up for six awards including album of the year.

Sting, Rihanna and Bruno Mars will hit the stage for a special performance at next week’s Grammy Awards. The Recording Academy announced Monday they will perform together at the Feb. 10 awards show. Triple nominee Kelly Clarkson also will take the stage. Beyoncé, Prince, Jennifer Rihanna Lopez and country singer Hunter Hayes will be presenters at the Grammys, which will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Six acts tie for the most nominations with six each, including Frank Ocean, The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, Kanye West, Jay-Z, fun. and Mumford & Sons. Previously announced performers include Ocean, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, Elton John and fun. Taylor Swift will kick off the show, to be hosted by rapperactor LL Cool J.

Oscars aim to cut out boring parts

The producers of the Academy Awards have good news for those watching at home: they’re trying to cut out the boring parts. Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron say they watched 40 years of past ceremonies to find ways to keep

the show moving at a brisk pace. They say they’re looking to nip and tuck what they call little “pregnant pauses” that can turn the show into a marathon. Zadan and Meron spoke Monday before a luncheon honoring this year’s Oscar nominees. The producers say they hope to make room for more fun in the show by squeezing out less-exciting moments. About 160 nominees attended the lunch, an annual rite leading up to Hollywood’s big night. The 85th annual Oscars airs live Feb. 24 on ABC.

Super Bowl viewers fall short

With a partial power outage, an overly excited quarterback and a game that suddenly turned from snoozer to sizzler, CBS had its hands full at the Super Bowl. The game fell short of setting a viewership record, but it stands as the third most-watched program in U.S. television history. The Nielsen Co. said an estimated 108.4 million people watched the Baltimore Ravens’ 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The most-watched events in U.S. TV history were last year’s game, seen by 111.3 million, and the 2010 game, with 111 million viewers. CBS had hoped to make it the fourth year in a row that football’s ultimate game broke the record for mostwatched event in American television history. But pro football ratings in general have been down slightly this year. And then half the lights went out. CBS’ ratings immediately dipped by two full ratings points in the overnight measurement of big cities.

Prairie Ridge co-op improves at sectional, heads to state PALATINE – Jada Berkland’s lower back issues limited what she could do in her freshman season with Prairie Ridge’s gymnastics team. The sophomore is making up for it this year.

said. “We did a lot better than we did at the regional. This is what we worked for.” St. Edward’s Abby Madden won all-around at 37.95, followed by Mahoney (37.625), Berkland (37.15), Elk Grove’s Amelia Rafferty (37.125) and Underwood (37.050). All five qualify to compete in the all-around at state. “It’s a little overwhelming,” Berkland said. “I never thought I’d be going to state in all-around.” Wolves coach Lee Battaglia is not surprised. “I expect that from Jada,” he said. “She should be right up there.

She’s good.” Underwood fell on her floor exercise routine when she over-rotated on a flip with a double twist on her first tumbling pass. She also fell on her beam routine, but she won the vault and uneven bars. Mahoney missed on her Genger on the bars, a move where she lets go of the bar, twists and regrabs the bar. Underwood was third at state in all-around last year and Mahoney was sixth. Battaglia figures the Wolves’ team score could have topped 151 without the falls.

Huntley’s Beschorner bound for SIU

HUNTLEY – Huntley football coach John Hart keeps thinking of one of his former players when he sees Bryce Beschorner, that being former NFL tight end Ken Dilger. “It may not be fair to Bryce, but Bryce on the high school Beschorner level, he reminds me so much of Ken,” Hart said. The Southern Illinois football

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson coaching staff apparently sees great qualities in Beschorner as well. The Salukis had the Red Raiders’ senior wide receiver for a visit over the weekend and Beschorner committed Sunday. He will sign his NCAA national letter of intent Wednesday, the first day of the signing period for football.

Beschorner (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) led the area with 43 receptions for 790 yards and 11 touchdowns last season and was a Northwest Herald All-Area firstteam selection. SIU plays in the Football Championship Subdivision. Beschorner realized a career goal by committing to a D-I school and will prepare accordingly. His next step will come in the spring for the track and field team, although it may not involve any Fox Valley Conference titles or qualify-

Time for Urlacher, Bears to move on

ing for the IHSA Boys Track and Field State Meet. “I want to get faster and stronger and go in [to SIU] as a better athlete,” Beschorner said. “I did jumps [in track] last spring, I’ll do more running this year. I’d like to get faster and add about 10 or so pounds.” Beschorner will remain a wide receiver for now, although Hart thought D-I schools might consider him a tight end, like Dilger.

“It’s a little overwhelming. I never thought I’d be going to state in all-around.”

VIEWS Tom Musick

After the curtain closed on his remarkable 17-year career, Ray Lewis cried. Lewis hugged his teammates on the Baltimore Ravens. He saluted fans in the stands. He hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy as a twotime Super Bowl champion. I couldn’t help but wonder whether Brian Urlacher was watching. Like Lewis, Urlacher has proved to be one of the most dominant middle Brian linebackers of the Urlacher 21st century. Like Lewis, Urlacher became the face of a proud franchise by playing old-fashioned defense during an era of offense, offense, offense. However, unlike Lewis, Urlacher never has won a Super Bowl. As he approaches his 35th birthday and officially becomes an unrestricted free agent, the time has come for Urlacher to chase his championship goal in another uniform. It’s a tough decision, but then again, football is a tough game. No one can argue Urlacher is one of the greatest players in the history of the Bears. He has been selected to eight Pro Bowls in 13 seasons and earned all sorts of accolades, from Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2000 to Defensive Player of the Year in 2005 to the Bears’ prestigious Ed Block Courage Award in 2011. No matter what, Urlacher always will be a Bear. He just might be a Bear who is on loan with another team for a couple of seasons. It will be tempting for the Bears to keep Urlacher if he offers to sign a short-term, affordable contract. He hinted that familiarity was more important than money during an interview last week with the “Waddle & Silvy” show on WMVP-1000 AM. “It’s going to be hard to not give them a discount because of my age, obviously,” Urlacher said. “Not a lot of teams are going to want to do a whole lot, I don’t think. … “I’m not going to make what I was making in the past. How about that? Does that make sense?” Yes, it does. It also makes sense for the Bears to find their next great middle linebacker.

Prairie Ridge co-op’s Rachael Underwood competes in floor exercise Monday at the Fremd Sectional in Palatine. She was fifth in the all-around to qualify for state.

Early grad Folliard on fast track By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – In the first few days of his senior year in high school, Sean Folliard met with his guidance counselor at Prairie Ridge. There, he learned that graduating high school early and getting a head start on his college football career would be a lot easier than he expected.

Folliard added the class, and with the second semester at NIU under way, Folliard is in DeKalb early, working out and attending meetings with the rest of his new teammates.

“It’s kind of all about the football for me,” Folliard said. “It was a hard decision leaving all my friends and family back there, but I’m not too far away. It’s not that bad at all.” Folliard added that heading to NIU a semester early was purely his choice, although the coaching staff certainly was on board. “It was pretty much my decision.

Pacers catch Bulls for 1st

Bulls’ Robinson named player of week in East

Home win is 14th in a row By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana suddenly has a shooting touch to go with its tough defense. The combination is just too much. David West scored 29 points Monday night, and All-Star Paul George finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, leading the Pacers past the Bulls, 111-101, for a 14th consecutive home win and into a tie with the Bulls for the Central Division lead. Three nights after shooting a season-high 55.7 percent in a relatively easy win over defending NBA champion Miami, Indiana shot 52.7 percent against a Bulls defense that is ranked No. 2 in the NBA in defensive field goal percentage. The only team ahead of the Bulls is the Pacers, and Indiana never trailed in the second half Monday. Indiana’s recent surge has it tied for the division lead with the Bulls (29-19) and behind only Miami (30-14) and New York (31-15) in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Over the past month, the Pacers have beaten Miami twice and New York and the Bulls once each, going 4-0 against the East’s three other top teams since Jan. 8 and they now have a 2-0 series lead over the Bulls, the league’s best road team. The Bulls didn’t look like themselves, though.

Next for the Bulls Bulls at Denver, 9:30 p.m. Thursday, WGN, TNT, AM-1000 Starting guards Derrick Rose (left knee) and Kirk Hinrich (right elbow) and starting center Joakim Noah (right foot) all sat out again with injuries, and they had another scare late in the first quarter when Marco Belinelli crashed to the floor clutching his right ankle. He returned later and finished with a season-high 24 points. Nate Robinson finished with 19 points, nine assists and five rebounds, and Carlos Boozer had 10 points and five rebounds as he returned from a right hamstring injury. All of those players, other than Belinelli and Robinson, missed Saturday’s 93-76 victory at Atlanta. “I feel like we’re short-handed right now, but we’re competing hard and that’s all you can ask for, and I feel like our best basketball is yet to come,” Noah said. “We’ve just got to keep fighting.” Indiana started the game fast, making its first six shots to take a 13-2 lead, and finished AP photo the first half nearly as fast, using a 12-6 run to break a 48-48 tie Bulls forward Luol Deng tries to shoot over Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert during the first half Monday in Indianapolis.

Chandler grabs 20 boards for 3rd straight game The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Tyson Chandler tied a franchise record Monday with his third straight 20-rebound game, Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points, and the New York cruised to their fifth consecutive victory, beating the Detroit Pistons 99-85. In a game that was decided early, Chandler played long enough to grab his 20th rebound midway through the fourth quarter. After grabbing 20 in victories on Friday and Saturday night, he became the first Knicks player to have 20 in three straight games since Hall of Famer Willis Reed in December 1969. Newly acquired Jose Calderon scored 15 points in his Detroit debut, while Greg Monroe had 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Coyotes stop Wild, add to point streak The ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Mike Smith stopped 21 shots, Lauri Korpikoski and Martin Hanzal both scored, and the Phoenix Coyotes extended their point streak to five games with a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Monday night. Korpikoski scored his fourth goal – all against Finnish goaltenders – in the first period, and Hanzal got his third in three games in the second. Smith was sharp for the second straight start, giving up a goal on a turnover in the second period and fighting off a power play by the Wild in the closing minutes. Stars 3, Avalanche 2: At Denver, Jamie Benn scored his first two goals of the season, and Dallas beat Colorado, spoiling the night for Milan Hejduk as the Avalanche forward was honored for playing in his 1,000th NHL game.

Brenden Morrow also scored, and Kari Lehtonen made 29 saves for Dallas. There was a scary moment early in the game when referee Chris Rooney was hit by a puck after a shot by Dallas defenseman Jamie Oleksiak deflected off the skate of Colorado’s Paul Stastny. The puck appeared to carom off the head of Rooney, who stayed down behind the Avalanche net. Rooney eventually skated off the ice. Hurricanes 4, Maple Leafs 1: At Toronto, Jordan Staal scored his first goal with the Hurricanes, and his brother Eric added the winner in Carolina’s victory over Toronto. Jeff Skinner had three assists, Patrick Dwyer added a goal and an assist, and Justin Faulk also scored for Carolina. Cam Ward backed up the offense with a 41-save performance.

throughout the second half, winning for the 10th time in 11 meetings between the teams since Dallas beat the Thunder in the 2011 Western Conference finals on its way to the NBA championship. That includes a fourgame sweep of the Mavs in the first round of last year’s playoffs.

Trail Blazers 100, Timberwolves 98:

At Minneapolis, LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 13 rebounds to help Portland avoid a late collapse against Minnesota. Wes Matthews scored 22 points and Damon Lillard added 21 points for the Blazers, but they each had five of the team’s season-high 28 turnovers. The Blazers never trailed in the game, but the Wolves had a chance to tie or win in the end. Ricky Rubio swung the ball to Dante Cunningham, whose 19-footer fell short. Rubio had 10 of his career-hightying 14 assists in the fourth quarter and finished with a season-high 15 points in a season-high 34 minutes. Wizards 98, Clippers 90: At Washington, Martell Webster scored 21 points, and Washington broke a fourgame losing streak against a Los Angeles team missing Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. With Griffin nursing a strained

left hamstring and Paul still dealing with a bruised right kneecap, the Wizards pulled away with a 7-0 run late in the fourth quarter, spurred by a pair of big offensive rebounds by Nene. Heat 99, Bobcats 94: At Miami, LeBron James scored 31 points and Chris Bosh added 23 to lead Miami to its 10th consecutive victory over Charlotte. Dwyane Wade had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who have won nine of their last 10 at home. James was 13 for 14 from the field, for a career-best 93 percent shooting. The Heat improved to 19-3 on their home floor. 76ers 78, Magic 61: At Philadelphia, Spencer Hawes had 21 points and 14 rebounds and Jrue Holiday had 13 points and 14 assists to lead Philadelphia to its third straight win. Orlando listed six players as inactive in its 10th straight loss. Jazz 98, Kings 91 (OT): At Salt Lake City, Randy Foye had 20 points, including six in overtime, and Utah defeated Sacramento. Utah had a chance to win it in regulation, but big man Al Jefferson shot an air ball 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Nate Robinson is making it easier for Bulls fans to wait for Derrick Rose’s return. On Monday, Robinson was named as the NBA’s Eastern Conference player of the week. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound point guard averaged 17.8 points and 6.8 assists as the Bulls won three out of four games. Robinson beat out some tough (and tall) competition including LeBron James of the Miami Heat, Brook Lopez of the Brooklyn Nets and Tyson Chandler of the New York Knicks. Meanwhile, Golden State Warriors power forward David Lee was named as the Western Conference player of the week. The Bulls will return to action Monday night when they visit the Indiana Pacers (28-19). – Tom Musick

Former Cy Young winner Webb retires at age 33

Former Cy Young winner Brandon Webb is retiring from baseball, ESPN reported Monday on its website. Webb, 33, had the most wins in the majors from 2005 to 2008 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and won the Cy Young Award in 2006. He has not pitched in the majors since 2009 and was attempting a comeback, according to the report.

Indiana moves back to No. 1 in AP basketball poll

For the fifth straight week there is a new No. 1 in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll. This time it’s Indiana. The Hoosiers, the preseason No. 1 who held the top spot for the first five weeks of the regular season, moved up two spots Monday, after their weekend win over No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Kansas’ loss to Oklahoma State. Duke started the current streak of new No. 1s and was followed by Louisville, Duke again, Michigan and Indiana. – Staff, wire reports

College Basketball ROUNDUP

Syracuse snaps skid, defeats Notre Dame The ASSOCIATED PRESS SYRACUSE, N.Y. – C.J. Fair had 18 points and 10 rebounds, freshman Jerami Grant scored a seasonhigh 14 points, and No. 9 Syracuse beat No. 25 Notre Dame, 63-47, on Monday night to snap a two-game losing streak that had dropped the Orange three spots in the rankings. Syracuse (19-3 overall, 7-2 Big East) was coming off consecutive road losses against Villanova and Pittsburgh and has only three conference losses in its past 32 Big East games. The Orange have won a school-record 36 straight games at home, the longest active streak in Division I. Notre Dame (18-5, 6-4) had won three straight. It was the first meeting between the teams since the Irish handed Syracuse its only conference loss AP photo last season, 67-58 at Purcell PavilSyracuse’s Michael Carter-Williams passes over Notre ion in January 2012. The Orange, Dame’s Eric Atkins during the first half Monday in Syracuse, unbeaten at the time and ranked No. 1, were missing shot-blocking, N.Y. The Orange won, 63-47.

7-foot center Fab Melo in that game because of an academic issue, and Monday night senior James Southerland, the team’s most consistent outside threat and third-leading scorer, missed his sixth straight game because of an eligibility matter related to academics. Southerland had 15 points in the loss to the Irish last year.

No. 23 Pittsburgh 56, Seton Hall 46:

At Pittsburgh, Lamar Patterson scored 12 points and Pittsburgh pulled away late from Seton Hall. Freshman center Steven Adams added eight points, 15 rebounds and two blocks for the Panthers (19-5, 7-4 Big East).

Knoeppel hit 8 of 11 field goals, with three 3-pointers, and finished with a career-high 24 points. He also handed out six assists. Hampshire made a run at Central in the third quarter, cutting the lead to five, but Knoeppel hit three more shots late in the quarter to push the lead to 13. “He really put us on his back in the third quarter,” Tigers coach Rich Czeslawski said. “He just decided to get us a bucket a few times.” The victory puts Central (19-2 overall, 7-1 FVC Fox) in sole possession of first place with four remaining games. Hampshire is 17-4, 6-2.

Prairie Ridge co-op’s Riley Mahoney competes in uneven parallel bars Monday at Fremd. Prairie Ridge won the sectional with 149.525 points to advance to state as a team.

Still, Prairie Ridge showed its depth with four automatic state qualifiers – freshman Maddie Solka was second on bars – and could have two more at-large competitors. Savanna Mensching (beam) and Dylann Perrone (vault) could be among the top 12 nonqualifying scores (top five) when the sectionals are completed Thursday. Jacobs sophomore Ali Riedel started the night well with third in the vault (9.725) but ended horribly when she sprained her right ankle on her first tumbling pass in the floor exercise. It was uncertain if Riedel will be able to recover in time for state. Prairie Ridge was much happier with its performance Monday than at last week’s Conant Regional. “That’s a great score,” Mahoney said. “I’d rather us have some jitters here and regionals than next week.

Beschorner, who scored 33 on his ACT, plans on majoring in engineering. “[Wide receivers coach] Kalen De Beor is one of their guys I’ve known for a while,” Hart said. “He had Bryce on the radar the whole time.

Norberg enjoyed his visit to Iowa City, which ended with a trip to Ferentz’s house with other recruits who had scholarship offers. So far, all Iowa has been able to offer Norberg was a preferred walk-on. If Iowa does not make an offer, Norberg said he would sign with North Dakota on Wednesday. “Coach Ferentz said he wishes they had known about me sooner,” Norberg said. Complicating things for Norberg is the NCAA’s current dead period.

Folliard played safety at Prairie Ridge, where he was an Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 6A All-State selection as a senior, and even played some quarterback for the Wolves late in the 2012 season.

For the Huskies, Folliard will move to linebacker, where he’ll likely be for the next four or five seasons. He hopes being in school for spring practice will help him get on the field as a freshman. “The coaches and players told me that’s going to be a big help. I obviously won’t know until I’m there,” he said. “Ultimately, that’s going to be the coaches’ decision on whether I redshirt or not.” Over the winter, Folliard, whom Rivals.com lists at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, will try to mold his body into a line-

She was heading home, then to the hospital for X-rays on her ankle. She sat for almost a half hour with the ankle in an ice bucket. Riedel had struggled with her bars and beam routines, but hoped to pull it together and advance in floor. “I was doing a double pike [back flip] on my first pass and I felt my hand slip off my leg,” she said. “I would definitely say it wasn’t my day. Bars was a disaster, I don’t even know what happened. I was definitely hoping for a good floor routine. At first, I thought I’d get up and keep going, but that wasn’t going to happen.”

San francisco 49ers

Niners look to next season By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS – Offensive linemen Alex Boone and Mike Iupati stood in one corner of a near-empty San Francisco locker room and pondered just how close they had come to winning the Super Bowl. It quickly began to sink in, beneath the Superdome on Sunday night as the Baltimore Ravens celebrated, that their season had ended short of the goal. One year, they almost reached the NFL’s championship game. The next, they nearly won it. “It just hurts, it hurts now,” Iupati said. “There are no words to express how we feel right now. We’ve got to put it in the past now and we can’t ever forget this moment. We’ve just got to go out there and next

year is another year, and compete.” The 49ers head into the offseason after a 34-31 Super Bowl loss knowing they were right there against the Ravens, and now move forward with the hope of keeping much of the team together and building to get back – and this time win it Alex Smith all. One big question: What to do with backup quarterback Alex Smith? CEO Jed York said last week he would address Smith’s situation soon. Smith would like to have the chance to start somewhere, and the 49ers realize that’s a fair request. “Last year losing in the NFC Championship game, come back this year and you’re in the

Super Bowl, it feels the same way,” running back Frank Gore said. “Any other team probably would have just laid down but we kept fighting. We just didn’t get it done.” Coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke will soon begin planning for the 2013 season – not to mention the draft in April – and determine whether they can find a team for Smith. The 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick lost his starting job in November to second-year pro Colin Kaepernick, who nearly led the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history in the 10th start of his NFL career. A win would have put Kaepernick right there in the 49ers’ storied Super Bowl history aside Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young, who led San Francisco’s last championship after the 1994 season.

NFL NOTES

Lions release wide receiver Young The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Detroit Lions have released wide receiver Titus Young. The team made the announcement Monday. It wasn’t much of a surprise. “If y’all going to cut me let me go,” Young posted on his Twitter account last month. “I’m tired of the threats.” An email seeking comment was sent to Young on Monday. Young was banished from the team in November for what Jim Schwarz called unacceptable behavior and was later put on injured reserve. Young was also told to stay away from the team during its last offseason for punching teammate Louis Delmas when the

safety wasn’t looking. Detroit drafted Young out of Boise State in 2011 and he had 48 receptions for 607 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. His production dropped off last season.

Record betting on Super Bowl: At Las Vegas, sports

fans bet a record $98.9 million at Nevada casinos on the Super Bowl, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said Monday. Unaudited tallies show 183 sports books made $7.2 million on the football action. The San Francisco 49ers started out as a 5-point favorite but the Baltimore Ravens won 34-31. Odds makers say California fans drove the unprecedented handle, flood-

ing Las Vegas and the Lake Tahoe area with wagers on the hometown team, which hadn’t been in the Super Bowl since 1995. “Northern Nevada gets swamped with 49er money,” LVH book director Jay Kornegay said.

Baltimore plans parade, celebration: At Baltimore, the

city was in party-planning mode a day after the Ravens’ Super Bowl victory. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said the city’s parade for the team today will begin at City Hall and end with a free celebration at M&T Bank Stadium. The lineup was still being finalized as the team arrived Monday in Maryland.

Parting ways with star isn’t new • MUSICK Continued from page C1

Anyone who watched the Bears last season saw an older, slower Urlacher than ever before. He struggled to shed blocks. He did not move side to side as easily as in years past. Even when he made a good play, such as his interception against the Tennessee Titans, he lumbered down the sidelines like a pickup truck with four flat tires. At one point or another, almost every team has parted ways with a superstar. Michael Jordan retired (again) from the Bulls in 1998, only to unretire (again) and spend a couple of seasons with the Washington Wizards. Joe Montana made history with the San Francisco 49ers but played two more years with the Kansas City Chiefs. In the final at-bat of his career, Frank Thomas struck out as an Oakland Athletic. These things happen. Look no further than last season, when the Indianapolis Colts made the difficult decision to say goodbye to franchise icon Peyton Manning. The Colts had hired a new coach and new coordinators, and the new regime drafted Andrew Luck first overall while Manning signed a freeagent contract with the Denver Broncos. Everyone benefited from the changes. Well, everyone except Tim Tebow, who was replaced by Manning and went on to become an undesirable on the New York Jets. A similar transition period has arrived for the Bears. Lovie Smith was fired after nine seasons as head coach, and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli decided to join his friend, Monte Kiffin, on the Dallas Cowboys’ staff instead of remaining with the Bears. Longtime linebackers coach Bob Babich also left to become the defensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars. As the Bears prepare for next season, Marc Trestman is the head coach. Mel Tucker is the defensive coordinator. Tim Tibesar will coach the linebackers. A new era at Halas Hall presents an opportunity for a

clean break between the Bears and Urlacher. However tough that might be, it will only become tougher if Urlacher sticks around for another season or two but struggles as his athleticism fades. Urlacher is no dummy. He understands that the NFL is a business. In a couple of years, Urlacher can return to Soldier Field for a ceremony in his honor and wave to thousands of grateful fans. He can watch

as his Hall of Fame bust is unveiled in Canton, Ohio, where he is sure to be enshrined after his career is over. In the meantime, the Bears must move on. Unfortunately, not every Hall of Fame career comes with a storybook ending. • Write to Northwest Herald columnist Tom Musick at tmusick@shawmedia.com and follow him on Twitter @ tcmusick and @bears_insider.

Fans line up Sunday to enter the Superdome for Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday the city will host future Super Bowls, despite a power outage during the game.

Goodell backs Big Easy

Commish expects city to host future Super Bowls By BRETT MARTEL The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – The blackout at the Superdome will not stop the Super Bowl from returning to New Orleans. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that despite the electrical outage which delayed Sunday night’s game for 34 minutes, the city did a “terrific” job hosting its first pro football championship in the post-Katrina era. “Let me reiterate again what an extraordinary job the city of New Orleans has done,” said Goodell, speaking Monday at a post-Super Bowl media conference held for the game’s most valuable player, Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, and winning coach John Harbaugh. “The most important thing is to make sure people understand it was

a fantastic week.” New Orleans has hosted 10 Super Bowls, including Baltimore’s 34-31 victory over San Francisco, tied for the most with Miami. While serving as the site of America’s biggest sporting event and focus of an unofficial national holiday gets any place a lot of attention, this game had special meaning for New Orleans. The city last hosted the Super Bowl in 2002 and officials were hoping this would serve as the ultimate showcase – on a global scale – of how far it has come since being devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The storm winds tore holes in the roof of the Superdome and there was water damage from the rain that affected electrical systems and caused mold to spread. More than $330 million has been spent to upgrade the facility, which has hosted

the annual Sugar Bowl, Saints games, two BCS title games and a men’s Final Four since the storm. Yet the loss of power was an embarrassment that quickly became perhaps the signature moment of the Ravens’ win. Goodell said not to worry. “I do not think this will have an effect on future Super Bowls in New Orleans,” he said. “I fully expect to be back here for Super Bowls. I hope we will be back. We want to be back here.” Local officials have said they will bid to host an 11th Super Bowl in 2018 to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding. Political strategist James Carville, who along with wife Mary Matalin served as host committee cochairs, said he disagreed with the premise that the outage overshadowed a full week of celebration.

Winter x Games

Tragic week on snowmobiles forces 2nd look Changes possible after rider’s death, close call for fans By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press

DENVER – For more than a decade, daredevils in snowsuits climbed atop their quarter-ton snowmobiles, sped them up icy ramps and flipped them head over heels into the frosty night air. Fans of action sports cheered while others, less enthralled with the event, wondered whether the sport was a good idea. It’s a question that’s getting a much more serious look after last month’s Winter X Games, where things went wrong in a serious and tragic way. One rider, with very little experience on snowmobiles, flew off his vehicle and the machine went careening into the fence, dangerously close to spectators. Another wrecked and separated his pelvis. That rider’s brother, 25-year-old Caleb Moore, lost control, landed on his head and, four days later, died from injuries related to the accident. The tragedy left everyone involved – snowmobilers, other action sports stars, the people who issue the permits and the programmers at ESPN, which sanctions and televises the X Games – re-examining a niche event in an action-sports world that has, for decades, lured its audience by thumbing its nose at danger. “That’s something we’ll all have to deal with,” said Levi LaVallee, whose two gold medals in snowmobiling this year were afterthoughts in the wake of Moore’s death. “Unfortunately, the crashes that happened, they’re serious ones. You can only pray that that

Moore died Thursday after suffering complications from injuries suffered during the crash. stuff won’t happen in future – look at how it happened and see how we can prevent that in the future. It’s a tough one for a guy that’s passionate about the sport.” In Aspen, where the event has been held for the past 12 years, regulators have signaled they’ll take a new look at the permitting process for the Winter X Games, including the possibility that they’ll get more involved in

the ins and outs of the actual events, which are usually left to ESPN’s discretion. “We permit so many events and they’re all so different in nature, too,” said Mike Kraemer, a planner for the department that handles special event permits in Aspen. “We’ve never had machines go into the crowd. We may need to ask, ‘How can you mitigate for those types of actions?’ ”

That question, along with equally big issues of rider safety, will be on ESPN’s plate over the upcoming year. “ESPN’s Safety and Security departments go through a diligent review of all venues for the safety of staff, athletes and spectators,” Scott Guglielmino, ESPN’s senior vice president of Programming and X Games, said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. Among the core issues network officials will have to discuss is whether the thrills, spills and ratings provided by snowmobile tricks are worth the risks that became so apparent in Aspen last month. ESPN’s average of 1.1 million viewers for nine telecasts hovers around the same area as the PGA Tour but below that for the NBA. Snowmobile jumping is hardly the first sport in which athletes willingly subject themselves to severe and sometimes life-threatening injuries. But even sports such as football and NASCAR, which are an ingrained part of American culture, have been under pressure in recent years to improve safety. “I guess the question is, do we acknowledge that there are certain sports that are so established that danger has become a fact of life, and are we OK adding more to that list?” said Robert Thompson, a professor who studies popular culture at Syracuse. “But certainly if we said we should not legitimize a sport where the possibility of serious injury or death is there, then we’d have to look carefully at some beloved institutions in this country.” Sporting high-wire acts used to be the domain of Evel Knievel, whose jumps across the fountains at Caesar’s Palace and elsewhere made news not only because of their intrepidness, but because he had a willing media partner in ABC, which put them on “Wide World of Sports.”

The X Games franchise, which started in 1995, broadened the audience and participant pool for such spectacular but high-risk events. Impressed by the highlights, to say nothing of the young audience they draw, the Olympics has added several disciplines over the past 15 years – namely snowboarding, in race form, on the halfpipe and, beginning in 2014, on the slopestyle course. As those events have grown into the mainstream, their respective industries have grown through equipment sales, vacation packages and lift tickets. A bad week on snowmobiles at the X Games, however, does not concern leaders in the industry, who say recreational riders recognize the clear demarcation between a casual weekend with friends and what the competitors try in the X Games. “You never see it where we go,” said Ed Klim, president of the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association. “That’s just pushing it to the extremes, which is why they call it the X Games.” Buoyed by steadily growing success since his X Games debut in 2010, when he earned a bronze medal, Moore had a full schedule planned for this season, in an attempt to earn his share of the still-limited prize pool competitive snowmobiling generates. Moore’s death will leave a gap in the sport, depriving it of a man LaVallee called “a fierce competitor” with a “very creative mind” – the sort of traits that keep daredevils pushing the envelope and entertaining fans for pennies on the dollar compared to what NFL players or NASCAR drivers can make. The risks they take, however, are every bit as serious, and now their sport is in the spotlight.

Soccer: match-fixing INVESTIGATION

Probe finds 680 suspicious games By MIKE CORDER The Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Organized crime gangs have fixed or tried to fix hundreds of soccer matches around the world in recent years, including World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two Champions League games, Europol announced Monday. The European Union’s police agency said an 18-month review found 380 suspicious matches in Europe and another 300 questionable games outside the continent, mainly in Africa, Asia and South and Central America. It also found evidence that a Singaporebased crime syndicate was involved in some of the matchfixing. Europol refused to name any suspected matches, players, officials or match-fixers, saying that would compromise ongoing national investigations, so it remained unclear how much of the information divulged Monday was new or had already been revealed in trials across the continent. Even so, the picture painted by Europol was the latest body blow for the credibility of sports in general, after cyclist Lance Armstrong’s admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs in all seven of his Tour de France wins. “This is a sad day for European football,” Europol Director Rob Wainwright told reporters. He said criminals were cashing in on soccer corruption “on a scale and in a way that threatens the very fabric of the game.” Europol said 425 match officials, club officials, players

and criminals from at least 15 countries were involved in fixing European soccer games dating to 2008. Ralf Mutschke, director of security at FIFA, the world soccer body, said the report highlighted the need for soccer authorities and police to tackle corruption together. “The support of law enforcement bodies, legal investigations, and ultimately tougher sanctions are required, as currently there is low risk and high gain potential for the fixers,” he said. Mutschke said while FIFA can ban players, referees and club officials, it is powerless to sanction people not directly involved in the sport. “For people outside of football, currently the custodial sentences imposed are too weak and offer little to deter someone from getting involved in match-fixing,” he said. Europol is not a police force but provides expertise and helps coordinate national police across the 27-nation European Union. It said 13 European countries were involved in this match-fixing investigation, pouring through 13,000 emails, paper trails, phone records and computer records. Its probe uncovered $10.9 million in betting profits and $2.7 million in bribes to players and officials and has already led to several prosecutions. “This is the tip of the iceberg,” said German investigator Friedhelm Althans, who also said two World Cup qualification matches in Africa and one in Central America were among those under suspicion.

See clearly in 2013 The beginning of the year is the most popular time for eye exams and a great time to assess your corrective lenses. See 2013 clearly by following these tips from optometrist Dr. Tamara Dunn. 1. Start with an eye exam: Our eyes age and change just like the rest of our bodies, so it is important to get them checked annually. Even if you already have corrective lenses, ensure you are caring for your eyes properly with an eye exam. Beyond a simple vision screening, the American Optometric Association also recommends that everyone receive a regular comprehensive eye exam to detect potentially serious eye issues to support overall eye health. 2. Good health supports good vision: For example, eating a balanced diet that includes dark green vegetables with lutein like spinach and kale can help to reduce your risk of age related vision loss. 3. Protect your eyes in the sun: Studies show spending long periods of time in the sun without eye protection can damage your eyes. Eye care professionals recommend you wear full spectrum UV-absorbent sunglasses whenever you are in the sun for hours at a time. If you wear contact lenses, remember contact lenses by themselves may not protect your eyes from UV light so you may still need to supplement by wearing sunglasses.

hear that New aids bridge life of sounds with your lifestyle By Brandpoint Hearing aids – those two words alone may conjure up images of unattractive, beige devices that your father or grandmother once wore before finally throwing them in a drawer, never to be seen again. But hearing aids have come a very long way. Here are five things you may not know about today’s digital hearing aids:

Adaptable

Hearing aids can adjust automatically based on your listening situation. Digital hearing aids of the past required you to manually switch programs depending on your environment (for example noisy vs. quiet). The latest hearing aids are smart enough to recognize up to six distinct listening environments: quiet, speech in quiet, noise, speech in noise, car or music. The hearing aids continuously detect which of the six situations you’re in and automatically switch settings for the best hearing in that environment.

Wireless headset

Hearing aids can act like your own personal headset. Most people who have hearing loss have it in both ears and need two hearing aids. Wireless hearing aids “talk” with each other so touching the volume control or program switch for one hearing aid automatically adjusts both. Today’s hearing aids are personal electron-

ics that work with your high-tech gadgets. You can wirelessly stream music into your hearing aids from an iPod, hear a call that just came in on your smartphone, and listen to the TV with no delay at your preferred volume, without disturbing others.

Activity-proof

You can swim, sweat and ski while wearing hearing aids. In 2011, Aquaris, made by Siemens, was the first digital waterproof, dust-

Researchers have identified 24 new gene variations related to autism. The study, done by the University of Utah while collaborating with several other institutions, says the 24 missing or repeated stretches of DNA are strongly related to instances of autism. The study was done by examining the DNA of people who had multiple cases of autism in their families. Lineagen has released a test based on these genetic markers, and other previously known ones, to help diagnose autism.

proof and shock-resistant hearing aid. Waterproof hearing aids aren’t just for swimmers either. Because they are so robust and stay securely in place behind the ear, many people can benefit, including those who perspire heavily, are active in sports, or who garden or work in dusty environments.

Battery-free

Hearing aids are rechargeable. If the idea of having to change tiny batteries once a week (or more) makes you cringe, you’re not alone. With rechargeable hearing aids, there’s no more constant fumbling with batteries. According to Dr. Gabrielle Filips of Siemens Hearing Instruments, people with arthritis, Parkinson’s disease or other conditions that create dexterity problems can really struggle with opening battery packages, accessing a battery compartment and guiding a battery into place. Rechargeable hearing aids are also friendlier to the environment - and our wallets. Over a three-year time span, two rechargeable hearing aids and a charging station cost less than three year’s worth of weekly disposable batteries. They’re easy to use, too. At night, you place the hearing aids into a charger and every morning you’ll have freshly charged hearing aids.

Invisible

Source: Medicalnews today.com Just like a personal headset, today’s hearing aids can wirelessly stream audio via Bluetooth technology directly into both ears with no delay.

Hearing aids can be invisible. Like contact lens wearers, most people still want to be discreet about their hearing aids. The stigma associated with wearing hearing aids still ranks among the top reasons why consumers choose not to purchase them. But with invisible hearing aids, only you know you’re wearing the device.

Driving drowsy – if you snooze, you lose Health Tip

Diets and insulin Several studies featured in the International Journal of Obesity Supplements reported adults with greater insulin resistance are more successful with weight loss on a low-carbohydrate diet compared with a low-fat diet. In such cases, a low-carbohydrate diet such as the Atkins Diet has been proven to have positive results on insulin resistance.

At one time or another, we all have been guilty of driving while being drowsy. You open the window so the cool air will refresh you and turn on the radio full blast in an attempt to keep yourself awake. Some people actually do the smart thing and pull over and get some rest. How big a problem is drowsy driving? Numbers vary. Results of one study of 147,000 people showed that 4 percent reported falling asleep while driving during the previous 30 days. That’s a lot of people. Another study showed that 2 percent of all crashes with non-fatal inju-

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold ries involved drowsy driving. However, the more accurate number is believed to be much higher. Are older drivers guiltier of driving while drowsy? No. Greater than 5 percent of adults between ages 18 and 44 drove while drowsy in comparison to 1.7 percent of drivers older than 65. Drowsiness impairs the driver’s driving skills and

decision-making, slows down reaction time, and the driver is less attentive. The problem is so significant that the National Sleep Association sponsors a “Drowsy Driving Prevention Week.” And, unfortunately, automobile drivers are not the only ones who drive while drowsy. Pilots and train operators also were found guilty of this serious offense. A fairly common cause of drivers being tired is the use of certain medications. This is such a serious issue it is advised not to drive when

taking these medications. Many people are unaware medicines used to help them to go to sleep at night can also make them drowsy the next day while driving to work. Because it is a significant problem, the Food and Drug Administration recently asked the manufacturers of the sleep medication zolpidem, or Ambien, to lower its recommended dose. The reason for this is the next morning the levels of Ambien can be high enough to cause drowsiness and an inability to perform certain activities. Car manufacturers are

aware of this problem and are researching and installing “Drowsy Driver Alert” systems. So add to “Don’t Drink and Drive,” “Snooze and You Lose.” But what is most important is, “Don’t Drive When Drowsy.”

STYLE Adventurous travelers seek fitness trips Page D2 • Tuesday, February 5, 2013

PlanitNorthwest / PlanitNorthwest.com

By LIZ SIDOTI The Associated Press

RINCON, Puerto Rico – Several years ago, I found myself needing a certain type of vacation – one that would help me reset life and that combined my passions: fitness and sports, the outdoors and travel, healthy food and new people. I wanted much of the planning done for me. I also wanted the ability to break from any itinerary. And I wanted to go alone without feeling lonely. A reasonable cost, a variety of activities and a warm location also were important. So I started searching online for “active vacations” and “fitness trips” and “wellness retreats.” It was frustrating. The pricey and posh Canyon Ranch popped up. Several intensive yoga-only weekend workshops surfaced. So did a number of sites advertising weight-loss cruises. None fit. Finally, I stumbled on something called Bikini Bootcamp at an ecofriendly resort in Tulum, Mexico. I cringed at the name – and still do – but I looked past it and found the type of trip I sought. It promised rustic beach cottages, certified trainers leading fitness sessions, healthy food, excursions like biking through Mayan ruins, spa services, and enough down time to make my vacation my own. For the most part, that’s what I got. I was immediately hooked on the model, and, in the years since, I have gone to several others, including Pura Vida Adventures, a surf and yoga camp in Malpais, Costa Rica, that was founded by Tierza Eichner, and, most recently, a SUP (standup paddleboard) and yoga retreat in Rincon, Puerto Rico, created by Jessica Bellofatto of KamaDeva Yoga and Gina Bradley of Paddle Diva, two companies based in New York’s tony Hamptons beach area. Don’t misunderstand: these aren’t fat camps. These are vacations tailored to people who value healthy lifestyles, active travel, and trying new things, seeing new places and meeting new people. The formula is generally the same. All are run by strong, independent, entrepreneurial, outgoing women with interesting life stories and a true zest for living fully. The trips either are geared toward or attract mostly women, though the men who do go seem to easily fit in. The demographic tends to skew toward female professionals in their 30s and 40s from all over the country and, sometimes, the world, though everyone from stay-at-home moms to almost-retired grandmas attend. Many people come alone; some come with friends and relatives. The programs attract both extroverts and introverts.

These camps are examples of active vacations tailored to travelers who value healthy lifestyles and new experiences. Photos provided

All are bound by an up-for-anything, adventurous attitude and a shared desire to have an active life with nutritious food and vigorous exercise. So it’s easy to see why bonding usually happens shortly after arrival, and why it quickly seems as though everyone is looking out for – and rooting for – one another. Many seek to push the bounds both mentally and physically, and they do things they typically wouldn’t, like trail-running through the steep and slippery jungle or jumping off rock ledges into crystal blue water below. “Expand your comfort zone,” was the daily positive mantra of paddle instructor Shari Hymes during the January retreat there. Many leave these trips with great memories and lasting relationships, and the vacations have their own touches reflective of their founders. Bikini Bootcamp, run by Melissa Perlman, offers an African dance session, a tribal drumming lesson and a traditional Mayan clay treatment on the beach with an eyebrow-raising component: swimsuit tops optional. The Pura Vida instructors become informal tour guides, taking clients

to favorite surf spots in a Scooby Doolike van that’s been known to stop for cold ones at shacks run by Ticos – or Costa Rican locals – after a long day on the water. Bradley’s organizational expertise, culinary skills and local connections shape the entire Rincon trip. Bellofatto goes well beyond traditional yoga, teaching the willing one of her specialty skills: downward dog, headstands and other poses while on paddleboards floating atop the water. All serve meals with local ingredients, focusing on nutritious fuel for active bodies. In Tulum, low-fat soups were a staple. In Malpais, traditional lizano salsa was on the table. And in Rincon, no meal was complete without avocados, tropical fruit and greens from roadside stands. The venues are breathtaking. Bikini Bootcamp’s home, Amansala, is a shabby-chic Tulum resort with open-air bungalows, a large fitness pavilion, and a swath of white beach with orange lounge chairs strewn about. Pura Vida is nestled in the jungle that abuts the beach of Malpais, with gorgeous beachfront cottages, a yoga platform, a soaking pool and hammocks strung

Natural remedies for hot flashes have not been studied extensively

Dear Dr. K: I’m having menopausal hot flashes, but I don’t want to take hormone therapy. Can you tell me about natural remedies? Dear Reader: Natural remedies can help for hot flashes, but hormone therapy is helpful more often. For that reason, I’ll come back to the pluses and minuses of hormone therapy after answering your question. You don’t need this explanation, but some readers who have not experienced them may not be sure what hot flashes are. They’re brief but intensely uncomfortable feelings of warmth followed by drenching perspiration. They’re common during menopause, but not all women get them. They can be accompanied by heart palpitations, dizziness or weakness, and they can cause sleepless nights followed by irritability and exhaustion during the day. At their worst, they can really interfere with a woman’s life. There are traditional medicines other than hormone therapy that can help with hot flashes. These include drugs that relax blood vessels as well as certain antidepressants. Several herbal remedies claim to help prevent or treat hot flashes, but most

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff have not been well studied. There is some evidence the herb black cohosh may be effective. You can take steps to help make hot flashes less severe or less frequent – steps that don’t require either traditional medicines or “natural remedies”: • Drink a glass of cool water at the beginning of a hot flash. • Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. • Plunge your hands in cold water and pat it on your face, neck and chest when a hot flash starts. • Begin deep-breathing exercises at the beginning of a hot flash to help nip it in the bud. • Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which make hot flashes more uncomfortable. • Cut down on red wine, chocolate and aged cheeses. They contain a chemical that can trigger hot flashes. • Don’t smoke. Smoking can make hot flashes worse. • Wear loose, comfortable cotton clothing. • Dress in layers. Remove some clothing if you sud-

denly feel hot. • Keep your house cool. At work, open a window or use a small portable fan. • At night, use lightweight blankets that can be removed. • Engage in regular vigorous exercise. Now let’s come back to hormone therapy. Here’s the bottom line – at least for me – of a complicated story. The most effective medication for hot flashes is the hormone estrogen. If you’re 60 or older, or are 10 years past entering menopause, I would stay away from hormone therapy. I think it does increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. However, if you are entering menopause, which typically occurs in a woman’s late 40s or early 50s, I think the evidence does not show an increased risk of heart disease. Indeed, hormone therapy taken at that age to relieve hot flashes may actually protect you from heart disease. I’ll address the question of how your age affects your risk from hormone therapy in another column.

between palm trees. And the Puerto Rican retreat is based at Casa Azul, Bradley’s private, four-floor house in the Rincon hills, with balconies that offer stunning views of the ocean, beaches and town below. The prices depend on the trip’s duration and number of people per room. They cost anywhere from $1,400 for four nights in a shared room with a shared bath in Rincon to $3,200 for six nights in Tulum or Malpais for a private room with a private bath. At a minimum, the price typically includes: accommodations, at least two meals a day and daily lessons or sessions. Some also include massages. Transportation never is included, nor is gratuity for the staff. So make sure to bring cash. There’s also no shortage of optional – with fee – activities, such as snorkeling into underground freshwater swimming holes called cenotes in Mexico, zip lining in Costa Rica, or climbing waterfalls in Puerto Rico. No matter which place you choose, your days usually start with a group walk or run just after sunrise, followed by a breakfast of yogurt, fruit, granola and eggs. Next generally comes a morning session of some kind depending on the trip: a cardio-and-weights class in Mexico, a surfing lesson in Costa Rica, a

paddleboard session in Puerto Rico. At lunchtime, expect to eat your way through heaping mounds of locally grown produce and protein. Beyond that, afternoons typically are kept free for any number of activities, from more surf, paddle or workout sessions, to touring local attractions, to taking a siesta under the sun. Nothing is mandatory; this is, after all, YOUR vacation. Yoga sessions always are a staple, but they never dominate the trips. Usually, there are one or two sessions a day, in the morning or late afternoon. Like the other lessons, they’re always taught by instructors mindful of the need to tailor their practices toward beginners and veterans alike. Like the other meals, dinner is communal, with mounds of nutritious grub and even healthy dessert, and it often stretches for hours, with people talking about our lives back home and adventures of the day. It’s certainly not all perfect; all three trips have room for improvement. For example, each relies heavily on relationships with local vendors – and subcontractors – to operate, and that can make for inconsistencies and hiccups. Yet, all seek – and get – feedback and tweak their programs to ensure an even better experience for the next batch of campers looking for the perfect mix of adventure, fitness and fun.

Wife intolerant of illness Dear Abby: My wife and I are both schoolteachers. She hates to call in sick and often teaches class when she says she feels ill. I don’t argue with her. The problem arises when I am not feeling well. When I am sick and feverish, I’m not inclined to rise from my sickbed and go to work. On those few occasions, my wife objects strenuously. She interrogates me about my symptoms, then makes her own “diagnosis” on the spot. Apparently, her gold standard for staying home is the inability to stand. This creates a problem for me at work because coworkers are concerned about catching my obvious illness. The last time I felt sick, my wife ordered me to go to work. When I saw a doctor afterward, I was told I had a virus and should be in bed. My wife still objected to my missing work because she considered it to be “just a cough.” I missed a grand total of two days because of it. On one of them, I wasn’t able to stand, the other because I refused to get out of bed. Then, since I was staying home “doing nothing,” my wife insisted I care for our two children (ages 3 and 1), rather than send them to my mother-inlaw who baby-sits while we

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips work. Today a staff member called in sick with the same virus I had. Everyone looked at me as the responsible party. If I stay home, my wife will dump the kids on me and give me the cold shoulder. If I go to work, I expose my co-workers and perform poorly. Help!

– At A Total Loss In Corpus Christi Dear Total Loss: It appears

you married a woman who is not only lacking in empathy, but also is a controlling, slavedriving witch. Unless you can find the backbone to take control of the situation and stop acting like a victim, your wife will continue to punish you when you’re least able to defend yourself – and nothing will change. P.S. A teacher with a virus can not only infect co-workers and administrative staff, but also his students – not to mention his own children. Please point that out to “Simone Legree.” Dear Abby: The adage, “If you don’t have anything nice to say ...” is easier said than done. When I am tired or

stressed, I have a tendency to be less tolerant of others’ quirks, and sometimes I voice my annoyance. While my opinions do have a basis, I sometimes feel guilty about insulting or hurting the person’s feelings. I envy those who are strong enough to not allow the stress of certain situations to affect them. I have never been a believer in “killing them with kindness” because that seems to enable their behavior. My intolerance is probably due to unhappiness about my own life. So how do I allow these annoyances to roll off my back and bite my tongue?

– Can’t Tolerate Fools In Des Moines Dear Can’t Tolerate Fools:

One way to do that would be to remind yourself the more you take your unhappiness out on those around you, the more you will isolate yourself. When you are tired or stressed, and before shooting off your mouth, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it helpful? And if what you were about to say is not all three, bite your tongue, zip your lip, or walk away until you get a grip.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Involvements with authority figures will work out in your favor, whether they were deliberately orchestrated or occur by happenstance. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Establish some definite objectives for the day, but keep them private. You’ll find that you will perform far more effectively if you don’t have to justify your intentions to others. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Certain knowledge you recently acquired can be used constructively on a current project. You can not only better your own lot in life, but improve things for associates as well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take the reins, because your leadership abilities can be a critical factor in revitalizing a joint endeavor that has been going downhill. Your new direction can produce success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It looks like balance and harmony can be restored in a situation that has become increasingly unsettling. Your efforts, coupled with another’s, will be mostly responsible for the improvement. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Certain things that have been impossible to handle on your own can be achieved with the help of surrogates if you motivate them properly. Make sure they can benefit as well, and you’ll all do quite well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A partnership arrangement can become far more productive if you provide the initiative and let the other person serve as a backup. It could be totally up to you to rev the engines. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A number of important assignments you’ve been unable to conclude satisfactorily can be finalized by prioritizing them and then knocking them off one at a time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your popularity is peaking right now, and the impression you’re making in your social encounters is favorable and lasting. You’ll not find a better time to circulate and make new friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Financial trends are far more favorable than they might be tomorrow. If you’re involved in something that could spell profit, make every minute count. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You’ll not only be a fast thinker, but you should also be able to express yourself in an eloquent and effective manner. All your comments will receive serious consideration. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A venture in which you’re presently involved looks like it could be turned into a financial winner, even though you might have to use a slightly different approach than you normally would.

Bridge

Victor Hugo wrote, “He who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.” A declarer who every first trick plans the transactions of the deal, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of a most busy deal. That is true, but declarers must always be ready to change their plans if necessary. For example, look at today’s club suit. If South has no other worries, what is his best play for four tricks? Then, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart six: five, jack, king. How should declarer plan the transactions of the deal? South has seven top tricks: two spades, one heart (trick one), two diamonds and two clubs. He needs two -- not three -- more club tricks to get home. In isolation, the best plan is to cash dummy’s ace, then play low to dummy’s jack on the second round. But one of the main reasons bridge retains its

popularity is that the right way to play a suit mathematically will not always be the correct approach in a given deal. Here, if East gets on play, he will lead a heart through South’s queen. That will not hurt if the hearts are 4-4, but if they are 5-3 or 6-2, the contract will fail. Declarer must work to keep East off play. South should lead a club to the king and cash the ace. Here, the queen drops and South gains an overtrick. But if the queen has not appeared (and the suit is 3-2), declarer plays a third round, hoping for the best.
