Examining ALTERNATE REVENUE BONDS: Day two of a Two-part series

Reps take on abuse

Health board says they will stick to pledge Executive director will not be hired until new members seated By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

BONDS

The McHenry County Mental Health Board will keep its pledge to wait until new members are seated and acclimated before proceeding with hiring a new executive director. The board and its Search Committee rescheduled a meeting canceled because of last week’s snowstorm to tonight, a day before a McHenry County Board vote to appoint three newcomers and deny reappointment to Mental Health Board President Lee Ellis. But mental health officials will only discuss the next steps in the hiring process this evening, and will not interview finalists or make a decision. County Board members last month expressed concern that the Mental Health Board would rush the process as it became clear that Ellis would most likely not be recommended for reappointment by the County Board Public Health and Human Services Committee, which is pursuing reform of the agency. County Board member Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills, now holds the board’s voting seat on the Mental Health Board.

What’s next The McHenry County Board will meet Tuesday morning to approve new appointees to the McHenry County Mental Health Board. The meeting starts at 9 a.m. at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

McSweeney’s proposal, backed by Franks, takes aim at MCC’s expansion By CHELSEA McDOUGALL • cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

bipartisan bill introduced in Springfield by local legislators is taking aim at alternate revenue bond “abuses,” but some local leaders and bond experts fear it would add another level of bureaucratic red tape and stall what they see as a relatively everyday procedure. House Bill 983 was introduced last month by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Lake Barrington, with support from Rep. Jack Franks, DMarengo. The bill would tighten regulations in the local debt reform act, specifically as it relates to alternate revenue bonds. Alternate revenue bonds typically are issued by taxing districts to pay for projects with the understanding that the money is backed by an identified revenue stream. Often called double-barreled bonds, this funding mechanism promises taxpayer dollars if those revenues fall short. In crafting the proposal,

McSweeney took aim at McHenry County College’s proposed expansion plans, and drew attention to RedTail Golf Course in Lakewood. Alternate revenue bonds were used to subsidize Lakewood’s RedTail Golf Course. Taxpayers were left to foot the bill when the golf course didn’t take in enough to repay the debt. “Lakewood was a disaster, and I don’t want that to happen with McHenry County College,” McSweeney has said. MCC is in the middle of a feasibility study, the second stage in its proposed expansion. During phase one, alternative revenue bonds were floated around as one way to subsidize the proposed $42 million project. The college’s board chairwoman Mary Miller declined to comment for this story, stating she hadn’t read the bill.

Under the McSweeneyFranks bill, it would be easier for voters to have a say on whether taxing bodies should issue alternate revenue bonds. “Lakewood was a disaster, and I don’t want that to happen with McHenry County College,” McSweeney said.

Fiscal disarray a challenge as Quinn creates Ill. budget By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – As Gov. Pat Quinn prepares to deliver his latest budget proposal, there’s no overstating how ugly Illinois’ financial condition is. Outside analysts in recent months have used phrases like “a deep hole,” a “downspin” and “not fiscally sustainable” to describe it. The New York bond houses have given Illinois the worst credit rating of any state in the nation. The grim outlook persists despite recent efforts to improve it, from a 67 percent state income tax hike passed in the waning hours of the legislative session two years ago to last year’s $1.6 billion in Medicaid cuts. When Quinn presents his latest plan Wednesday, he’ll have few good options. His office already has projected a cut of

Pat Quinn will present his latest plan Wednesday. Already, his office has projected a cut of about $400 million to education and cuts to public safety and economic development.

8WATER COOLER Police: Mom catches baby going out window

SPOKANE, Wash. – A toddler who jumped on a bed and bounced out a second-story window was saved Friday by his mother, who leaped behind him, caught his foot and lowered him safely to his grandmother who was having a smoke on the porch below, police said. The mother was just getting out of the shower when she saw the 14-month-old boy, who had been jumping on the bed, trip on a pillow and fly out the half-open window, Police Communications Director Monique Cotton said. The mother smashed through the window and caught him by a foot as his head bounced on a small roof overhanging the front porch. The grandmother heard the breaking glass and was in the right place at the right time to catch the baby before the mother fell into some bushes. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of cuts and a shoulder injury, Cotton said.

37-pound tubby tabby Biscuit in need of home

ST. CHARLES, Mo. – At 37 pounds, Biscuit is about the right weight for a 4-year-old – human, that is. A St. Louis-area animal shelter is trying to find a new home for the sweet tabby with a sweet tooth. Biscuit’s salad days were spent pigging out, and now at roughly three times the weight of a healthy adult cat, he’s restricted to about a cup of diet food per day. His first owner, a disabled woman who fed him lots of treats, brought him to the St. Charles Animal Control shelter about a year ago because she could no longer care for him, Teresa Gilley, the shelter’s lead animal control officer, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “She didn’t mean the cat any harm,” Gilley said. “I just think she didn’t know any better.”

Barbara Malinger

CARPENTERSVILLE – Barbara Malinger realized her passion for teaching struggling readers 15 years ago when she started at Perry Elementary School instructing first-graders who had steep language learning curves. That passion drove her to get a master’s degree in reading education and inspired her to become a Perry literacy teacher, a role that allows her to take the lowest literacy students from kindergarten, first and second grades, and mold them into fluent readers. Malinger’s passion now has been validated. The Illinois Reading Council recently selected Malinger as the state’s Reading Educator of the Year, an honor given to teachers who promote literacy among students. Malinger will formally receive the honor later this month during a conference in Springfield. Malinger, who normally avoids the spotlight, had only gratitude for Carpentersville District 300 literacy leader Sue Larson, former Perry Principal Craig Zieleniewski and fellow literacy teacher Tammy Bennett, who all nominated Malinger for the award. Malinger also had to detail her teaching philosophy in a letter to the reading council. She described it as a hands-on approach involving visual gimmicks and objects that help students see and understand the day’s reading lesson. The award-winning literacy teacher sat down with reporter Stephen Di Benedetto to discuss the statewide honor, her passion for literacy and her love for teaching.

Di Benedetto: What was your reaction when you found out you had won? Malinger: I came home. I

had been training in another district. Two of my older children still live at home, and the letter came. It came in a letter from the Illinois Reading Council. They (her kids) had been holding it up to the light and saw “Congratulations,” so they knew I had won. They were waiting for me to open it. They couldn’t wait for me to open it, and they were yelling,

BARRINGTON HILLS – A fourvehicle accident on Route 59 killed a 61-year-old Elgin man and injured four Sunday, police said. The accident, at about 3 p.m. Sunday, closed Route 59 from Route 68 to Route 62 for several hours. The investigation is ongoing. According to a preliminary investigation by the Barrington Hills Police Department, a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban was northbound on Route 59 when it sideswiped a 2005 Toyota and then hit head-on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid. A fourth vehicle, a 2003 Ford Escape, was unable to avoid the accident and rear-ended the Intrepid. The driver of the Dodge Intrepid was killed, and his passenger, a 44-year-old woman from Orlando, Fla., was taken to St. Alexius Hospital in Hoffman Estates. The driver of the Suburban,

an 18-year-old man from Barrington Hills, was taken to Advocate Good Shepard Hospital in Barrington. The driver and passenger of the Ford Escape, a 44-year-old woman and a 61-year-old man, both from Fox River Grove, were taken to Good Shepherd Hospital. None of the injuries were lifethreatening. The driver of the Toyota, a 57-year-old woman, was not injured. Assistance was provided by the Barrington and Palatine Rural fire departments, and Barrington, South Barrington, Palatine and Fox River Grove police.

Because we are in such a diverse population here, I feel we work really, really hard. It was nice to be recognized, and it kind of puts our school on the map that somebody from our school was honored. So that’s nice.

Di Benedetto: As a literacy teacher, what are some of the challenges of teaching students who aren’t reading at grade level? Malinger: A lot of the kids

Di Benedetto: How have the students kept you motivated all these years to keep teaching literacy? Malinger: Reading is my

passion. I love reading. I love teaching reading, and I love teaching from the beginning where they come with nothing. I open the first door to books and reading for them. Even with second-graders, sometimes they are reading but they aren’t always comprehending. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I wake up happy every day because I get to come and do what I love.

Taxes on the rich near 30-year high By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The poor rich. With Washington gridlocked again over whether to raise their taxes, it turns out wealthy families already are paying some of their biggest federal tax bills in decades even as the rest of the population continues to pay at historically low rates. President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress say the wealthy must pay their fair share if the federal government is ever going to fix its finances and reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level. A new analysis, however, shows that average tax bills for high-income families rarely have been higher since the Congressional Budget Office began tracking the data in 1979. Middle- and low-income families aren’t paying as much as they used to. For 2013, families with incomes in the top 20 percent of the nation will pay an average of 27.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to

AP file photo

President Barack Obama talks to reporters in the White House briefing room in Washington after his meeting Friday with congressional leaders about the automatic spending cuts. projections by the Tax Policy Center, a research organization based in Washington. The top 1 percent of households, those with incomes averaging $1.4 million, will pay an average of 35.5 percent. Those tax rates, which include income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes, are among the highest since 1979. The average family in the bottom 20 percent of households won’t pay any federal taxes. Instead, many families

in this group will get payments from the federal government by claiming more in credits than they owe in taxes, including payroll taxes. That will give them a negative tax rate. “My sense is that high-income people feel abused by being targeted always for more taxes,” Roberton Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center, said. “You can understand why they feel that way.” Last week, Senate Demo-

crats were unable to advance their proposal to raise taxes on some wealthy families for the second time this year as part of a package to avoid automatic spending cuts. The bill failed Thursday when Republicans blocked it. A competing Republican bill that included no tax increases also failed, and the automatic spending cuts began taking effect Friday. The issue, however, isn’t going away. Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress insist that any future deal to reduce government borrowing must include a mix of spending cuts and more tax revenue. “I am prepared to do hard things and to push my Democratic friends to do hard things,” Obama said Friday. “But what I can’t do is ask middle-class families, ask seniors, ask students to bear the entire burden of deficit reduction when we know we’ve got a bunch of tax loopholes that are benefiting the well-off and the well-connected, aren’t contributing to growth, aren’t contributing to our economy. It’s not fair. It’s not right.”

Scientists: Baby born with HIV cured By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A baby born with the AIDS virus appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who’s now 2½ and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection. There’s no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus’ genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark

only the world’s second reported cure. Specialists say Sunday’s announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus. “You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we’ve seen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press.

A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn’t diagnosed until she was in labor. “I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and deserved our best shot,” Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview. That fast action appar-

ently knocked out HIV in the baby’s blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child “functionally cured,” meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven’t been completely eradicated. No one should stop antiAIDS drugs as a result of this case, Fauci cautioned.

Her hobbies included but not limited to fishing, gardening, cooking, and she had a passion for the theater and fine arts, which she incorporated into her art program and provided classes for the arts helping many beginning artists refine their craft.

8BRIEFS More than 6 inches of snow possible Tuesday

Heavy snow totaling more than 6 inches could hit the area Tuesday, a National Weather Service meteorologist said. A winter storm watch issued for McHenry County warns that 1 to 2 inches could fall today with another 6 or more inches possible Tuesday. “The snow will probably be starting during the morning [Tuesday] so the morning rush could be effected,” said meteorologist Richard Castro, who is based out of the National Weather Service’s Romeoville office. Wind of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph is in the forecast for Tuesday. If the snow falls at high rates – 1 to 1.5 inches per hour is possible Tuesday – plows won’t be able to keep up, Castro said. There is some uncertainty about the storm, including its path, but “chances are looking pretty good” that the area will be hit, he said.

Ex-Daley aide named Emanuel’s chief of staff

CHICAGO – A top aide to former longtime Chicago Mayor Richard Daley will take over later this month as Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s new chief of staff. Lisa Schrader, 41, replaces Theresa Mintle, who resigned last week after two years on the job. Schrader, who was most recently Emanuel’s chief operating officer, will start March 15. Schrader worked her way up through Daley’s administra-

tion. He retired in 2011 after 22 years in office. She was a spokeswoman for the budget office and then worked as deputy budget director, deputy chief financial officer and deputy chief of staff.

Police arrest suspected Chicago gang members

CHICAGO – Chicago police have arrested 38 suspected gang members for selling drugs on the city’s South Side. In a news release Saturday, Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said one of the open-air drug markets was near a school. A second undercover investigation found three street gangs were working together to sell drugs. The suspects were charged with drug and gun offenses, including possession and delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school.

Kerry says U.S. releasing millions in aid to Egypt

CAIRO – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday rewarded Egypt for President Mohammed Morsi’s pledges of political and economic reforms by releasing $250 million in American aid to support the country’s “future as a democracy.” Yet Kerry also served notice that the Obama administration will keep close watch on how Morsi, who came to power in June as Egypt’s first freely elected president, honors his commitment and that U.S. assistance would depend on it.

Could This Be The Cause of Your Painful Sciatica And Excruciating Back Pain? (GET AN EVALUATION TODAY IF YOU SUFFER FROM THESE CONDITIONS.) A High Rate of Success

Having back and leg pain can feel like a crippling condition. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

Listen to what my patients have to say about this treatment. Here’s the point of all these success stories: spinal decompression has a high success rate of helping disc herniations, sciatica, and back pain. This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

Do You Have Any of the Following?

It’s time for you to find out if spinal decompression will be your sciatic pain solution. The First Seven Callers will receive everything listed below for $47. $25. I usually charge $257 for these services!

•Sharp pains in the back of the leg •Lower Back Pain •Herniated/bulging discs •Numbness in your arms or legs •Shooting hip or thigh pain •Muscle spasm, sprains & strains

What does this offer include? Everything. Here’s what you’ll get...

If you’ve suffered from any of these annoying conditions, you may have “Sciatica”. Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniation. Discs act like a cushion between our backbones and allow for a space at each level so the nerves can exit the spinal column. Scientific studies tell us that spinal discs are responsible for most of the aches and pains from which people suffer. When these discs get injured or wear out from bad posture or old injuries, they begin to degenerate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. If the herniations occur at L4-L5, they can severely compromise the large sciatic nerve, causing muscle weakness, tingling, and severe pain. Unfortunately, many people think back surgery is the only way to fix sciatica and disc problems. But here’s the problem... there is a high failure rate of back surgery. One medical study found that, on average, 53% of L5-S1 back surgeries fail to produce relief of symptoms (International Orthop 1987.)

Your Drugless, Non-Surgical Solution Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of the problems listed above, they may be relieved or eliminated by non-surgical spinal decompression. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a technology that has been proven to reverse disc herniations. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing. Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, every once in a while I even catch a patient sleeping during sessions.

• An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen... really listen... to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination. • A full review of your X-rays or MRI. • A thorough analysis of your exam so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • You’ll get to see everything firsthand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, as it has been for so many other patients. • I’ll answer all your most probing questions about your sciatica and back pain evaluation and what it can do for you. The appointment will not take long at all, and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day, either. Call and tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Special Decompression Evaluation. (Available To The First Seven Callers.) We can get started with your consultation exam as soon as there’s an opening in the Wellness schedule. Our office is called Delta Ram’s Spinal Care, and SouthLane Institute andwe weare are located located atat43227 W. Acorn Lake in the Street Hills, Illinois. Chestnut in Butler. I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful, life. Sincerely, Dr. Trivedi, Ram Parikh, D.C. D.C. P.S. The only real question to ask yourself is this...

What Will Your Pain Feel Like 1 Month From Today? One of the biggest myths about pain is that it goes away all by itself, without any treatment.

You simply lie on your stomach or back, which ever is comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to focus on your problem area then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest.

A May 1998 study in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later.

$25 $47 Exam Could Be Your Answer to a Healthier, Happier Life Life’s too short to live in pain like this. Call today, and soon I’ll be giving you the green light to have fun again.

Here’sTrivedi’s What Our Patients Say... Dr. Program I have had back problems for over ten years. I was told I had arthritis and herniated discs.

How did Ill.’s finances get so bad? • BUDGET

Continued from page A1 about $400 million to education and cuts to public safety and economic development. “We expect the governor is going to have a very difficult time,” said Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a Chicago-based watchdog group that analyzes and makes recommendations on fiscal issues. It begs the question: How did the state get here? And why is it so bad? Here’s a look at some of the factors contributing to the budget mess, and some of the key issues lawmakers will have to sort out in coming months:

Pension crisis

No single factor will constrain Quinn more than the state’s pension crisis. Lawmakers have been going around and around on the worst-in-the-nation problem for years without a solution, and nothing has done more damage to the state’s financ-

es.

Because lawmakers skipped or shorted payments to public-employee retirement funds for decades, the accounts are now about $97 billion short of what’s needed to fully meet the state’s liabilities. Illinois is now playing catch-up on the payments, but each year the cost continues to grow. In the fiscal year that starts July 1, the payment will be close to $7 billion – more than 16 percent of the general funds budget. Quinn had set a January deadline for lawmakers to fix the problem in hopes of seeing some budget relief. But the options have been politically challenging for lawmakers, who’ve opted instead to let the problem fester. That means the Democratic governor’s Wednesday budget proposal will account for the full amount the state will owe the pension funds next year. What that does to other areas of the budget, from state parks to prisons or financial aid for college students, could be a powerful motivator for legislators to act – or not.

Deficits and ‘gimmicks’

For years leading up to the recession, Illinois lawmakers balanced the state’s books through “budget gimmicks” that allowed them to spend money they didn’t have, a task force led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker concluded last year. Officials anticipated higher-thanrealistic revenues and didn’t account for unpaid bills from current or previous years when approving a new budget. Under Gov. Rod Blagojevich the state also took more than $1 billion from special funds – accounts created for specific purposes, often with their own revenue stream – and used the cash elsewhere, commonly known as a “sweep.” As those practices continued, Illinois accumulated multibilliondollar deficits and a backlog of unpaid bills. The state has been unable to get caught up. So far this fiscal year Illinois has spent $5 billion to pay down bills from prior years, according to Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka. The current backlog is more than $9 billion, and growing.

Critics contend bill adds to bureaucracy • ABUSE

Continued from page A1

Under the McSweeneyFranks bill, it would be easier for voters to have a say on whether taxing bodies should issue these bonds. The bill would decrease the number of signatures required to initiate a backdoor referendum, and increase the number of days to get said signatures. The Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative, nonprofit think tank, called it a model reform for backdoor referendums. “Solid reforms like this are definitely on the right path to adding more protections for taxpayers,” said Brian Costin, the Policy Institute’s director of government reform. “At the very least, it gives them more opportunities to say, ‘This is a bad idea, and were going to stop it.’ ” The current law requires signatures from 7.5 percent of the registered voters in the taxing district. And 5 percent under the new proposal. There are 204,437 registered voters in McHenry County.

Doing so is a herculean task, some argue. “That’s entirely unrealistic to do unless you have a massive amount of manpower to do so,” Costin said. The bill also would require that revenue from projects financed with alternate revenue bonds be able to pay 150 percent of the debt, an increase from 125 percent in the current law. The pending legislation also provides that a state chief procurement officer oversee such projects, rather than local analysts. The current law requires an “independent accountant or feasibility analyst” or up-to-date audit showing that the taxing unit has sufficient revenues to back the bonds. “It seems like there’s a lot of checks and balances [already] within the system itself, and it seems like you’re just adding another layer and more costs,” said Roscoe Stelford, the finance director in Woodstock. “Somebody’s going to have to pay for that. Who’s going to pay for the chief procurement officer?” The answer is the taxing bodies taking out the bonds

will cover the procurement officer’s fees if the measure moves forward. McSweeney hopes this officer will take the place of local consultants that taxing bodies are already hiring. “Underwriters aren’t going to take their word for the fact that we can repay [the bond just] because the state says we can,” Stelford said. “They’re not going to change their process. I’m still going to be paying for an auditor’s opinion that says I can repay the debt.” But McSweeney wants to ensure that these studies are approved by someone who doesn’t have skin in the game. “Let’s make it a fair and nonpartisan person looking into these,” McSweeney said when the bill was introduced. But bond experts and local leaders fear the bill would be too restrictive and would bottleneck applications in Springfield, at a time when state lawmakers are struggling to rein in its own expenses. As MCC board member Dennis Adams likes to say, “be careful of the bureaucracy you create.”

Executive director job vacant since November • PLEDGE

Continued from page A1

She relayed her colleagues’ concerns to the Mental Health Board. “I can assure you that the process is being delayed until the new Mental Health Board members are seated, and then we’ll move forward,” Yensen said Thursday. Critics in recent years have accused the Mental Health Board of becoming a bureaucracy that spends too much of its property-tax revenue on administration and overhead that should be going directly to social service agencies treating the mentally ill and developmentally disabled, as it was created by voters to do. Preliminary end-of-year financial statements show that the Mental Health Board kept about one-third of the $13.1 million it received last year. It now employs more than 30 people – down from almost 50 a year ago because of the end of a grant – and is paying off $3 million in economic stimulus bonds it issued to almost quadruple the size of its Crystal Lake headquarters. Scrutiny has increased over the past year as the Mental Health Board spent almost $1.8 million to unsuccessfully save Family Service and Community Mental Health Center from closing in June. The executive director position has been vacant since November – the Mental Health Board last summer announced the resignation of former Executive Director Sandy Lewis and the retire-

Sixteen people applied earlier this year for four open seats on the Mental Health Board. The public health committee, now under the leadership of board member and longtime Mental Health Board critic Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, interviewed 12 of them over two meetings and nine hours. Committee members voted Feb. 15 to recommend three newcomers to four-year terms over Ellis. The County Board was supposed to approve the appointments Feb. 19. But Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, sent almost all appointments back to their committees for revotes because of concerns raised by several board members that the committees’ agendas, which did not explicitly state that votes would be taken, did not fully comply with new Illinois Open Meetings Act requirements. At that same meeting, County Administrator Pe-

As cardinals select pope, Catholics ponder future By BRADLEY BROOKS The Associated Press SAO PAULO – Faithful attending Sunday Mass on five continents for the first time since Pope Benedict XVI’s retirement had different ideas about who should next lead the Roman Catholic Church, with people suggesting everything from a Latin American pope to one more like the conservative, Polish-born John Paul II. What most agreed on, however, was the church is in dire need of a comeback. Clergy sex abuse scandals and falling numbers of faithful have taken their toll on the church, and many parishioners said the next pope should be open about the problems rather than ignore them. Worshippers in the developing world prayed for a pope from a poorer, non-European nation, while churchgoers in Europe said what was more important was picking a powerful figure who could stop the steep losses in Catholic

Some South African Catholics called for what they said was a more pragmatic approach to contraception given the AIDS epidemic devastating that continent. They also suggested ending the celibacy requirement for priests, insisting on what’s viewed as the traditional importance of a man having a

family. Catholics likely will find out this week whether such hopes become reality, as cardinals worldwide arrive in Rome for a conclave that could elect a new pontiff. Many expect the church to pick another European to replace the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who resigned Thursday.

8BRIEFS Car bomb wounds 141, kills 37 in Pakistan

KARACHI, Pakistan – A car bomb exploded outside a mosque Sunday, killing 37 people and wounding another 141 in a Shiite Muslim dominated neighborhood in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi – the third mass casualty attack on the minority sect in the country this year. No one has taken responsibility for the bombing, but Shiite Muslims have been increasingly targeted by Sunni militant groups in Karachi, Pakistan’s economic hub and site of years of political, sectarian and ethnic violence.

PORT SAID, Egypt – The military intervened in clashes between thousands of protesters and police in a restive Egyptian canal city Sunday, the latest in a cycle of violence that killed two security members and two civilians, and which continues to rock Egypt two years after the uprising that ousted longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak. Also Sunday, a court ruled that Mubarak will face a new trial next month on charges related to the killings of hundreds of protesters during the revolution that forced him from power.

BEIJING – A moderate earthquake collapsed hundreds of homes and injured at least 30 people in southwest China. The earthquake bureau in Yunnan province, where the quake occurred Sunday, said three of the injured people were in serious condition. The official Xinhua News Agency said the quake damaged 2,500 houses and caused 700 others to collapse. About 55,000 people were affected by the quake, Xinhua said, citing Yunnan’s Civil Affairs Department.

Among the agenda items for this evening’s joint meeting of the Mental Health Board and its Search Committee is appointing Vice President Brett Wisnauski to the committee, likely in anticipation of Ellis’ imminent departure. The committee consists of five members – Chairman Ellis, Yensen, two other Mental Health Board members, and former board President Bev Thomas.

Lawmakers overpaid? You certainly don’t get what you pay for in the state of Illinois. Illinois lawmakers are the fifth-highest paid in the country, yet the state’s finances are at the bottom of almost every list. Bond rating: last. Pension liability: worst. Bill backlog: disgraceful. Illinois’ lawmakers make a base salary of $67,836 a year, but can earn much more through stipends for leadership positions or for serving on key committees. Those stipends range from $10,327 to $27,477. They also get expense money while the General Assembly is in session. Oh, before we forget, they also get health insurance and pensions for working what is supposed to be a part-time job. They were in session 74 days in 2012. A good lawmaker, and even some of the not-so-good ones, will say that they work much more than the days they are in Springfield; they’re in their districts listening to and helping their constituents. However, those constituents, as a whole, are not doing as well as lawmakers are. The median household income in Illinois is $56,576. Yet the General Assembly’s inability to fix or even control the state’s sinking finances hurts real people. Medicaid patients in Peoria can’t get a cab ride because the state’s not paying. Agencies are on the brink of going under unless the state swoops in with a check in the nick of time. Those agencies often have to borrow money to make up for the cash shortage created by the state’s deadbeat ways. How do we get that bond rating back to a respectable level? How do we reduce the pension liability? How do we ensure that people who do business with the state get paid in a timely manner? We don’t have the answers, but we expect the 177 men and women that taxpayers pay well to come up with them. The (Springfield) State Journal-Register

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Grafton Township debacle

To the Editor: I was appalled when looking into the actions of the Grafton Township supervisor and board. I have long heard of and seen the dysfunctional government body at its worst. Every agenda goes from the petty (moving a copier in the office) to serious financial and budgetary practices ($300,000 deal with the road commission). Most egregious are the legal problems between the supervisor and board. There has been at least a $150,000 overrun of legal expenses because of this. That’s tax dollars being wasted. To see for yourself, go to the township website, select “Clerk,” then “Meeting Minutes.” Pick any year and any meeting. You will not find anything to do with improving the township or strategic plans. Just what do we get for our taxes? It’s time for a housecleaning, my fellow taxpayers. James Dirksen Crystal Lake

Rhetoric of promises

To the Editor: Secularism is changing our country. It always has been present with us. Today, it’s bolder than ever. Perception and personal feelings are replacing truth and reality.

Calling the killings of innocent unborn life “pro choice” doesn’t make it right. Who started referring to marriage as “traditional marriage?” It most likely wasn’t a plumber. Just because something becomes a law doesn’t make it right. Referring to the events that led to four Americans losing their lives in Libya, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, “What difference does it make” if wrong information was presented to us just prior to an important presidential election? What difference does it make what our president, Barrack Obama, knew and what he did or didn’t do about this tragedy or “Fast and Furious?” This is why he is constantly campaigning with a host of supporters applauding everything he says. The play continues with great reviews from the media. Our president is delighted. His agenda moves on. The lies, the cover-ups, and his secular, anti-American beliefs either are ignored or cheered by his followers. They believe his rhetoric of promises to remove all their consequences at the expense of others. Ephesians 4:18 reminds us of what man’s capacity is without a relationship with Him, “having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in

Taken in

To the Editor: Re: “More Obamas Needed” (It’s Your Write, Feb. 25) spoke to me on how people are taken in by this president. It almost was like reading about a heavenly being. I didn’t know anyone was perfect except Jesus. If President Barack Obama is “the smartest guy in the room,” why am I paying $4 a gallon for gas, more money than ever at the grocery store, supporting the illegal immigrants, already paying for the uninsured, and now the cost of my own insurance going up, taxes out of sight, more restrictive rules for businesses, etc. If this president was the intellec-

tual giant he is made out to be, he would follow the Constitution and not “lead” this country as though he were the king and had the final word on everything. Democrats had the whole government Obama’s first two years and they didn’t even come up with a budget. We still don’t have one due to the Democrats in the Senate. Re: “Rubio’s drink” (It’s Your Write, Feb. 25). Mr. Tom Shallcross’ letter was right on. “Rubio’s drink” is more important to the press and the Democrats than the business of the government. Re: The Feb. 26 political cartoon: Baby boomers who might have to work until 72 years old are just whining. My husband worked until he was 71 and never got to retire. If the government didn’t take from Social Security all through the years, there would be plenty for everyone. Lois Ryan McHenry

Jefferson – the apostle of American freedom On this day (March 4) in 1801, Thomas Jefferson took an oath, administered by his distant cousin Federalist Chief Justice John Marshall, to “faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States,” thus becoming the third chief executive of the young American Republic. This inaugural was the first held in Washington, D.C., and also was the first time in U.S. history when there was a transfer of power, without violence and bloodshed, from one political party (Federalist) to another (Republican). The Election of 1800 was one of the most confusing and contentious of the 57 presidential elections in American history. This confusion and contention was caused in part by the fact that electoral votes for president and vice president were not listed on separate ballots, which resulted in each elector (there were 138 electors and therefore 276 electoral votes cast in 1800) casting his two votes without designating them for president or vice president. In the election of 1800, electors were selected in the 16 states between April 29 and Nov. 19. Then, on Dec. 3, electors cast their votes, usually in the state capital. Finally on Feb. 11, 1801, the electoral votes received from the various states were tabulated in the unfinished Capitol building before a joint session of Congress. Interestingly, the sitting Vice President Thomas Jefferson, as presiding officer of

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton the Senate, officiated over the counting of electoral votes in an election in which he was one of the two leading presidential candidates. The final official electoral vote was Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, 73; Aaron Burr of New York,73; John Adams of Massachusetts, 65; Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina, 64; and John Jay of New York, 1. According to the Constitution, such electoral ties were to be decided by the House of Representatives, in which each state delegation would have one vote. Finally, on Feb. 17, on the 36th ballot, the House voted – 10 states for Jefferson, four for Burr, and two making no choice – to elect Jefferson president and Burr vice president. The elections of 1800 and 1824 have been the only two that have been decided in the House of Representatives. Happily, the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified in 1804) corrected the ambiguity and confusion of the 1800-1801 electoral voting by establishing the system still followed of providing for the separate balloting by presidential electors for president and vice president.

On this Wednesday (March 4, 1801), the 57 year old president-elect Jefferson awoke early, soaked his feet in a tub of cold water (a ritual that he had long practiced every morning “to promote good health”), and made the short walk from Conrad and McMunn’s boarding house to the Capitol to be sworn in as president and to deliver his inaugural address. In his conciliatory address, he declared famously that, “Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. ... We are Republicans, we are all Federalists.” His first inaugural address became a blueprint for his largely successful two terms as president. Jefferson later referred to the election of 1800 as “the Revolution of 1800.” However, although claiming to be an advocate of “small, non-intrusive government,” Jefferson, as chief executive, actually expanded presidential powers, as every president has since Washington. In Jefferson’s case, It often has been asserted that he used Hamiltonian means (i.e., strong executive leadership) to achieve Jeffersonian ends (i.e., individual liberty and freedom). Whether this assertion is true or not, Thomas Jefferson now is canonized as the apostle of American freedom.

Finally a Treatment for Adult Scoliosis

SpineCor Pain Relief Back Brace

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Do you drop objects because of weakness in your hands? • Do you still have pain after surgery? • Do your hands fall asleep at night?

You could have carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful progressive condition caused by compression of the median nerve, tendon and blood supply in the wrist.

What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel?

Symptoms include: frequent burning, tingling, itching, and numbness in the palm of the hand through the finger tips of the second and middle fingers. As this disease progresses, sufferers have pain from the palm through the wrist and forearm. Prolonged disease can cause a decrease of grip and pinch strength as well as muscle wasting (atrophy) on the thumb side of the palm. Touch or hot and cold sensation to the palm, fingertips and wrist may be disrupted which can present a safety issue for the person with carpal tunnel syndrome.

What are the causes of carpal tunnel and who is at risk?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is often the result of a combination of factors that increase pressure on the median nerve and tendons in carpal tunnel, rather than the problem with the nerve itself. People may be physically pre-disposed; the carpal tunnel is smaller in some people than others.

Diagnosis

Early diagnosis and treatment are important for avoiding permanent damage to the median nerve.

Non-Surgical Treatment

Treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome should begin as early as possible. We utilize a variety of treatment methods to treat carpal tunnel, starting with diagnostic testing followed by special traction protocols along with with programs that strengthen the troubled area to regain stability and ﬂexibility. To schedule your Free Screening and consultation call 815-572-0733.

Most people think of scoliosis as a congenital condition. One you have when you are born. But Dr. Jill Howe says most of the Bu cases of scoliosis she sees are caused ca by some sort of trauma. "It can start with something as si simple as a slip and fall. Usually there's some sort of trauma which th jams the base of the head and the ja neck together," says Dr. Howe. ne "Then the rest of the body and "T spine respond to that trauma." sp Whether inherited or caused by a trauma, scoliosis manifests in each tr adult patient differently. Some ad patients pa have no symptoms, while others ot can have pain or functional is issues, like an irregular heartbeat, ci circulation or digestive problems, or a host of other symptoms. These sy symptoms depend upon where the sp spine curves sideways, and if the ve vertebrae are rotated as well. Traditional treatments for scoliosis include surgically placing steel rods in the spines, or include a rigid brace which patients must wear all the time. Neither treatment really corrects the problem; instead both treatments are an attempt to keep the curvature from getting worse. Superior Health & Wellness offers

an innovative, two-prong approach to treating scoliosis. First, we offer SpineCor, a soft body brace. SpineCor helps patients maintain correct posture and helps to ﬁx problems speciﬁc to them. The brace is worn under clothing, so it's not noticeable to others, but makes a big difference in managing the pain and starting to correct the problem. "Our patients can feel the difference the minute they put it on," says Dr. Howe. "This brace moves with you and is unobtrusive, so no one wonders, 'What is wrong with that person?'" Second, Superior Health & Wellness practitioners encourage patients to continue with follow-up visits to undergo our spinal rehabilitation therapy. During these visits, we focus on correcting the problem at its source, not just treating the symptoms. As patients continue with the spinal rehabilitation therapy, they notice changes in their posture, a reduction of their pain, and noticeable changes on their x-rays. Dr. Howe says, "Our goal is to reduce the shifting of the spine and to increase the functionality of the body. And as we work toward that goal, patients notice their pain level will decrease as well, if not completely disappear.” Who does not want that? Contact Superior Health today for your consultation at 815-572-0733.

KNEE PAIN TREATMENT Has Amazing Results

How Many Suffer?

Did you know that over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? In fact, this pain accounts for 25% of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inﬂammatory drug prescriptions. We’re pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced non-surgical FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health and Wellness, a state of the art medical facility.

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In OA, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. In most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years. The cause of osteoarthritis is unknown. Factors that might cause it include Being overweight, Getting older (wear and tear), Joint injury, Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/imbalance problems), A genetic defect in the joint cartilage, Stresses on the joints from certain activities including sports, work and leisure activities. People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option.

What is Available to Treat Knee Pain?

After careful study and several trials the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. Advanced live motion sonography allows us to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. Will my insurance cover this treatment? Medicare and most major insurances will pay for some if not all of our services.

What is Actually Injected into the Knee?

Hyaluronan is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronan contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint. Hyaluronan is reduced or lost with those who suffer from osteoarthritis. Therefore, the easiest way to think of Hyaluronan injections is that they help replace the joint’s natural fluid, which is otherwise lost in osteoarthritis. It is sort of like changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts. More oil would be necessary to remedy the situation.

When Will I Feel Results?

Most people feel better in a matter of weeks and can begin enjoying everyday activities.

How Do I Know That This is Right for Me?

In most cases, if you have knee pain, this is a great solution. Our medical staff will give you an honest and fair evaluation of your knee pain.

BLACKHAWKS 2, RED WINGS 1 (SO)

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: IOWA 62, NORTHWESTERN 45

Not over yet

Dixon plays big role with Hawkeyes By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

AP photo

Blackhawks right wing Viktor Stalberg (left) celebrates a goal by right wing Patrick Kane (right) that tied the game in the third period Sunday in Detroit. Kane was the only player to score a goal during a shootout to defeat the Red Wings, 2-1.

Blackhawks keep finding a way to win DETROIT – Admit it. You thought it was over. Finished. Kaput. The end of a glorious 21-game stretch during which the Blackhawks have slapped away opponents like Corey Crawford pushed away shots during what turned out to be a heart-pounding Sunday in the city formerly known as Hockeytown. You were ready to acknowledge that The Streak, like everything in life, has to eventually come to a close. You were ready to close the NHL record books and move on with your life, prepared to call it good, cursing Detroit, and perhaps the entire state of Michigan, every step of the way.

VIEWS Jeff Arnold But then, just when you had given up hope, knowing full well that at some point this season, the Hawks will, Gulp!, lose in regulation, Patrick Kane came to your rescue in a 2-1 shootout win over the Red Wings, saving you from doing who knows what had the Hawks’ unbelievable season-long streak come to an end Sunday afternoon at Joe Louis Arena. Disaster was averted and everything was again right in your hockey-loving world.

But here’s the thing. After scoring not only the game-tying goal with 2:02 remaining in regulation but then adding the game-winner in the shootout, Kane stood in front of his locker and had the audacity – the unmitigated gall – to say that he and his teammates haven’t become infatuated with the fact that no one seems to be able to find a way to beat the Hawks. “It’s been a fun ride,” said Kane, who at first sounded like someone ready to concede the Hawks’ current run of success. “And it’s not over yet. We want to continue to win.”

EVANSTON – Iowa women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder loves everything about Melissa Dixon’s game. The Hawkeyes coach appreciates Dixon’s talent – her ability to shoot 3-pointers, her quick release, her defensive work – but she equally values Dixon’s total lack of pretense. Early in the season, senior guard Jaime Printy was returning from tearing her left ACL as a junior, and Dixon, who started the first three games, took it all in stride. Now, Bluder sees Dixon as a lock for the Big Ten Conference’s Sixth Player of the Year. “For Melissa to handle that situation as beautifully as she has speaks so much about her character and love of playing the game,” Bluder said. “It’s ‘I don’t care if I’m a starter or coming off the bench, it doesn’t matter.’ You wish everyone on your team could act like that.” Dixon, a 5-foot-8 sophomore from Johnsburg, averages 22 minutes a game and made a significant impact in the Hawkeyes’ 62-45 victory over Northwestern on Sunday at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Iowa Melissa Dixon (19-11 overall, 8-8 Big Ten) desperately needed the win to enhance its chances of making the NCAA tournament. Dixon scored 16 of her team-high 21 points by halftime. She hit a pair of 3-pointers to bump Iowa’s lead to 27-20 late in the half, then took the inbound pass with 4 seconds to go and drove for a buzzer-beating layup. “I felt like we did a really good job of pushing the ball, and I got a lot of open looks off the pushes,” said Dixon, who also led Iowa with 22 points in Thursday’s 7570 victory over Indiana. “I’m just thankful for every minute I get on the court. I just want to do whatever I can to help the team win. We needed these two wins really badly. It was time to step up.” There were about 60 Johnsburg fans at Welsh-Ryan cheering on Dixon. Father Scott, mother Cindy and brother Steve were there. Among her other supporters were her high school coach Mike Toussaint and his family, and her best friends Kelsey Nobilio. The Hawkeyes, who finished seventh in the Big Ten, feel they can grab an NCAA tournament berth with a good showing this week at the Big Ten tournament at Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, an even shorter trip for the Johnsburg contingent. Iowa opens with Northwestern on Thursday.

WOODSTOCK BOYS BASKETBALL

Hard work fuels Blue Streaks’ return to success By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

he decision was made shortly after Woodstock was bounced from the IHSA Class 3A Johnsburg Regional a year ago. The Blue Streaks declared their 5-23 record was unacceptable and that they should be better. With the players they would have returning, they were determined to not let that happen again. “It was kind of our goal, winning a regional championship,” senior guard Andy Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com Buhrow said. Woodstock’s Brad Kaufmann dribbles upcourt in the first half of the Talking about it was one IHSA 3A Woodstock North Regional championship game Friday. Wood- thing, putting in the necessary work was another. The stock defeated Woodstock North, 64-29.

Streaks were motivated and faithful, working with their respective travel teams, and with each other. And Friday night that goal, something a Woodstock boys basketball team had not achieved in 13 seasons, became real. The Blue Streaks (19-10) will play Rockford Lutheran (24-4) at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in a Freeport Sectional semifinal game. Woodstock’s last sectional appearance came in 2000 under former coach Gordie Tebo. “I told them last year the way it ended was disappointing,” said Alex Baker, who is in his fifth year as the Streaks head coach. “They got back into the work and preparation.

The payoff for all that work they put in is success and all the pride they get.” Woodstock knew it had talent, led by 6-foot-3 senior guard Jordan Turner, a dynamic player averaging 17.9 points a game. Damian Stoneking, a 6-7 junior center, has been tough in the middle and Buhrow and Brad Kaufmann, another senior guard, are long-range threats. Jack McCoy is a gritty, hustle player and Keeondae Benjamin is a defensive ace, and both play their roles well. Mitch Kohley (6-3), Mason Sutter (6-3) and freshman Nick Kubiak (6-6) add size inside.

HUNTLEY GIRLS BASKETBALL

Huntley girls all got involved By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

NORMAL – Huntley girls basketball coach Steve Raethz recognized it was a team effort that led the Red Raiders to their program’s first state appearance. Raethz made it his goal for every player to enjoy the historic opportunity. Near the end of Huntley’s losses against Rolling Meadows and Whitney Young, Raethz emptied the bench to give each Red Raider a chance to play at Redbird Arena. Huntley’s 12 dressed players logged at least a minute in each game while six different Red Raiders scored at least two points during the weekend. The gesture didn’t go unnoticed. Some of Saturday’s loudest cheers against Whitney Young came on senior forward Haley Sabie’s threepoint play with less than two

minutes remaining in the game. “What a great opportunity this has been to be in the final four and we talked about making it an experience for our entire team,” Raethz said. “That’s what we wanted. We wanted to get some of our bench players who haven’t had an opportunity to play yet, had an opportunity to get in.” A pep assembly will be at 2 p.m. today in the Huntley gymnasium to congratulate and recognize the Red Raiders’ fourth-place finish in Class 4A. Equal production: It was no secret junior forward Sam Andrews and freshman forward Ali Andrews would be the focal points of Huntley’s offense during the state finals. After all, the sisters alternated in leading the Red Raiders in scoring the previous 32

Dixon 2nd in Big Ten in shooting percentage • DIXON Continued from page B1

Dixon was the Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Player of the Year in 2010 and 2011 and is the only girls player in the McHenry County area history to pass 2,000 points for her career. Shortly after graduation in June of 2011, she headed to Iowa City for the summer to become acclimated with her teammates and work out. “I’m so proud of her,” Printy said. “Last year, she got a lot of minutes, but this year she’s at a whole other level. She’s a huge offensive threat. She can shoot the ball, she can drive the ball, she can play defense. She’s just doing awesome. It’s fun to play with her. I love driving and kicking out because I have so much confidence in her.” Dixon is ranked second in the Big Ten both for shooting percentage and the number of 3s in conference games. She nailed 5 of 12 3-pointers against Northwestern, has 71 for the season and is hitting 40.1 percent on 3s. Dixon’s 10.3-point scoring average is third on the Hawkeyes and she has scored 16 or more points in six of the past eight games. At some point this weekend, the Big Ten coaches will cast their ballots for the Sixth Player of the Year. Bluder already has been campaigning. “I don’t know how you could say anybody else con-

games and not surprisingly, they were Huntley’s top two scorers against Rolling Meadows and Whitney Young. But remarkably, after 34 games, Sam Andrews and Ali Andrews each finished the season with 535 points (15.7 points a game). Rolling Meadows was the only other state qualifying team in any of the four classes to have two teammates score at least as many points as the Andrews (Jackie Kemph and Alexis Glasgow, 642 and 583 points, respectively). “It’s amazing,” Raethz said. “It’s eerie just how, from a statistical standpoint, how close they were throughout the season. Those two kids, Ali and Sam, not only are they great basketball players, but they’re great, coachable kids. They had outstanding seasons. We’re so fortunate and happy to have them come back.”

Tough job: Being Huntley’s best perimeter defender brings some tough assignments – just ask senior guard Haley Ream. In the Red Raiders’ final three games of the season, Ream was in charge of trying to shut down Wheaton Warrenville South’s Meghan Waldron, Rolling Meadows’ Alexis Glasgow and Whitney Young’s Linnae Harper. All three players are headed to Division I programs. Waldron and Glasgow, both juniors, are committed to DePaul and Northwestern, respectively, while Harper, a senior, has signed with Kentucky. “It gives me a challenge,” Ream said. “Going into every game I have one of their best players. Every game I go in with a challenge to try and do the best I can to contain them. … With [Harper] it was trying to stop the ball and not let her score.”

the best games we’ve played all season. We’ve never played that hard and that fast before.” The Streaks will need to maintain that level. Lutheran took third in the Class 2A state tournament last season and has many of its key players back this year. The Crusaders beat Northern Illinois Conference-10 champion Belvidere, 71-46, in Friday’s Belvidere Regional championship. “At this time of year, everybody has to play good basketball,” Baker said. “Everybody had to work very hard to get where they are.”

tributes more for their team as sixth person than Melissa Dixon,” Bluder said. “When she gets on a roll, watch out … and just get the ball back to her because when she hits a 3, they can come one right after another.” Cindy Dixon said her daughter feels quite blessed to have chosen Iowa and thoroughly enjoys playing for Bluder and her staff. That feeling is mutual. “I just can’t speak enough good things about her because she’s such a joy to coach,” Bluder said. “As a human being, she gives everything she has all the time and I’m glad to see her getting some rewards for that.”

“It’s a great combination for success,” Turner said. “This is the first year in a while we’ve had a great post player and some guards who can shoot. To have that big a turn-around has meant a lot to our school and our basketball program. To know that going out my senior year we’ve made a big impact is satisfying.” Woodstock finished third in the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division behind co-champions Crystal Lake Central and Hampshire. Central won the Class 4A Jacobs Regional on Friday and plays in the DeKalb Sectional on Wednesday against Boylan. Baker stood back and smiled as he watched his players, along with their parents and friends, pose for pictures with the game ball, regional plaque and the nets from rival Woodstock North’s gym after Friday’s 64-29 victory over North for the regional championship. “It was an amazing moment,” said Buhrow, who leads the area with 67 3s. “It was one of the best moments of my life. Knowing there is only two area teams left and we’re one of them is awesome. That game and against Crystal Lake Central [a 54-53 win on Turner’s last-second shot] are

Bulgaria’s wrestling coach starts hunger strike

SOFIA, Bulgaria – Bulgaria’s national wrestling team coach Armen Nazaryan has started a hunger strike to protest the IOC decision to drop wrestling from the Olympic program from 2020. The country’s wrestling federation said Sunday that Nazaryan “will not eat until the start of the European Championship on March 22 in Tbilisi, Georgia ... and will only take juices.” The 39-year-old Nazaryan won Olympic gold for his native Armenia in 1996, and for Bulgaria in 2000. He is now head coach of Bulgaria’s Greco-Roman team. Last month, the chief of Bulgaria’s wrestling federation and seven-time world champion, Valentin Yordanov, returned his gold medal from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Lunice Johnston of Vuma said that the merits in the separate case “are no longer relevant.” The Sunday Tribune said the dispute centered on accusations that Pistorius slammed a door on the former neighbor during a party while the athlete said that the woman was aggressive and injured herself.

Pacers hold off late Bulls rally By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – David West scored 31 points and George Hill added 21, leading the Indiana Pacers past the Bulls, 97-92, in a Central Division showdown Sunday. Indiana (38-22) has won seven of its past eight games, going 6-1 since the All-Star break, and holds a four-game lead over the second-place Bulls. The Bulls were led by Marco Belinelli and Jimmy Butler, who each had 20 points for a team that was missing four key players

Next for the Bulls Bulls at San Antonio, 8 p.m. Wednesday, CSN, AM-1000 with injuries. The Bulls fell behind late in the first quarter and spent most of the rest of the game trying to play catch-up. The Bulls tied the score at 72 on Luol Deng’s 8-footer early in the fourth and again at 80 when Butler made two free throws with 7:04 left, but

the Pacers converted backto-back turnovers into four points. The Bulls had a chance to tie in the closing seconds but turned the ball over after missing a 3-pointer that would have evened the score at 95. Indiana has won five of its past seven against the Bulls and three straight in the series for the first time since winning four in a row in 2004. The Pacers now own the division tiebreaker after going 3-0 against the Bulls this season. The final regularseason meeting is March 23

in Chicago. For the second time in a month, the Bulls showed up at Indiana severely shorthanded. Then, as now, they were missing point guard Kirk Hinrich, this time with a right foot injury. Then, as now, they were also missing Derrick Rose, who continues to recover from last season’s torn ACL in his left knee. On Sunday, the Bulls were also playing without guard Richard Hamilton, who didn’t travel because of a lower back injury, and forward Taj Gibson, who sat out with a left knee injury.

NBA ROUNDUP

Heat ties record with 14th straight win The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – LeBron James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, and the Miami Heat tied a franchise record with their 14th straight victory, rallying to beat the New York Knicks, 99-93. Dwyane Wade added 20 points for the Heat, who had to overcome a 16-point deficit to beat the Knicks for the first time in three tries this season. Chris Bosh bounced back from a dismal first half to finish with 16 points. The defending NBA champions won their sixth straight on the road by controlling the final minutes against a team that had a pair of 20-point victories over them this season and looked ready to run them out of the building again. Thunder 108, Clippers 104: At Los Angeles, Kevin Durant scored 35 points, Russell Westbrook had 29 points and 10 assists, and Oklahoma City held off a late rally by Los Angeles in a matchup of two of the West’s best teams. Serge Ibaka added 16 points as the Thunder ended a three-game road skid, bouncing back less than 48 hours after losing at Denver. They also completed a season sweep of Los Angeles, which is chasing Oklahoma City and NBA-best San Antonio out West. Spurs 114, Pistons 75: At San Antonio, Manu Ginobili scored 17 points, Tim

Rockets 136, Mavericks 103: At Houston, Chandler Parsons scored a careerhigh 32 points on 12-for-13 shooting and Houston snapped a nine-game losing streak to Dallas.

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany –Anna Fenninger of Austria overshadowed the favorites to win a super-G race Sunday, while overall World Cup winner Tina Maze was placed under police protection after organizers received a death threat against the Slovenian. Maze finished fourth in the race and had two bodyguards close by after the race. The threat came in an email received Saturday afternoon, after Maze had won the downhill race and broken the points record for a season. “That’s sad. If somebody is strong and showing good performances and perfect in the thing you are doing, there are people who want to disturb you,” Maze said. “I guess it’s part of the game but it didn’t disturb me that much. “It shouldn’t be part of the game but life is not perfect. It’s not nice for me, it’s not nice for my team. I haven’t seen the email ... they want to ruin Anna Fenninger your day, ruin the record, but I enjoyed the day 100 percent,” Maze said. Peter Fischer, chief of the organizing committee, said the email came from an anonymous source and that it was immediately turned over to the police. “We had to take it seriously, our job is to keep everyone safe here,” Fischer said. “Police took over the case and provided protection.” Maze said she had never felt safer in her life, “I’ve had police in front my door all the time since yesterday.” Fenninger beat hometown favorite Maria Hoefl-Riesch by 0.20 of a second on the Kandahar course for her third career victory and second of the season. Julia Mancuso of the United States was third. Maze is already assured of the overall title and became the first skier to collect more than 2,000 points in a season by winning Saturday’s downhill on the same slope.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Trey Burke stole the ball from Keith Appling near midcourt and went in alone for a dunk with 22 seconds remaining, then made another steal in the final seconds to give No. 4 Michigan a pulsating 58-57 win over No. 9 Michigan State on Sunday. The Spartans (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten) had the ball with the shot clock off at 56-all, but Burke’s first big defensive play enabled Michigan (24-5, 11-5) to take the lead. After Derrick Nix made one of two free throws and Mitch McGary missed the front end of a 1-and-1 for Michigan, Burke stole a pass by Gary Harris to end it.

NASCAR SUBWAY 500

Edwards ends long winning drought at Phoenix By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press AVONDALE, Ariz. – Carl Edwards climbed from his car, stood on the door and landed a backflip near the finish line. He then hopped up on the wall in front of the grandstand, grabbed the checkered flag and waded into the crowd, trading high-fives with fans. After a miserable week at Daytona, Edwards had plenty to celebrate. That it came at Phoenix International Raceway only seemed fitting. Coming through on his promise to dominate after his Daytona disaster, Edwards pulled away on a late restart and snapped a 70-race winless streak Sunday, the second long drought he’s ended at Phoenix. “This win feels as good or better as any win I’ve ever had,” Edwards said.

Carl Edwards celebrates winning the NASCAR Subway 500 on Sunday in Avondale, Ariz. Edwards snapped a 70-race winless streak. Edwards had a rough 2012 season, missing the Chase for the championship. His downward spiral continued at Daytona, where he wrecked five cars. On his way out of Florida, Edwards said he was ready to dominate and win at Phoenix.

He did just that, leading the final 78 laps on the 312-lap race around PIR’s odd-shaped oval in the first non-restrictor-plate race with NASCAR’s new Gen6 car. Edwards got a good push from defending Sprint Cup

champion Brad Keselowski on the restart with two laps left and pulled away from there, winning for the first time since Las Vegas in 2011. After parking his car at the finish line, Edwards landed his first backflip in nearly two years and celebrated with the fans – just like he did at PIR after ending another 70-race winless streak in 2010. “I’m sure it’s a relief for someone like Carl,” said Denny Hamlin, who finished third and had a long winless streak end at Phoenix last year. “He’s now relevant again, he really is and it’s a good sign for their race team for things to come.” The big duel came behind Edwards. Despite struggling with his car most of the day, Hamlin made a bold move on the last lap with a pass on the apron below the dogleg. He popped up alongside Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson and the

two drag-raced to the finish, where Johnson edged him by a few inches. Keselowski, who was outside Johnson during Hamlin’s move, finished fourth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up fifth. “As far down as I was, I was committed, there was nothing that I was going to do where I would back out,” Hamlin said. “I just hoped I would have just slid in front of the 48, then you risk getting punted and spun, and your whole day you’ve worked everything for is taken away in a corner. I held my line and thought I really did the right thing and gave those guys room to pass me back – and one of them did.” The last Phoenix race, in November, set up Keselowski for his first Sprint Cup title after Johnson blew a tire. It also featured quite a sideshow. A running feud between Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon boiled over late in the race, set-

ting off a brawl in the pits and Bowyer on a WWE-style dash to Gordon’s hauler. The drivers tried to downplay the confrontation after arriving in the desert this week, but it’s been hard to avoid, with video of the scrap-and-dash being shown all over in promos for the race and replays. Ryan Newman had the only dash this time around, running across the track and away from his car after it blew a right-front tire for the second time in 140 laps. Inside his car, Mark Martin failed in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner. The 54-year-old became the second-oldest driver to start on the pole in a Sprint Cup car, a few months short of Harry Gant’s mark. Martin led the first 49 laps and 26 more later on, but couldn’t sustain it in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner, finishing 21st.

NFL

Female kicker’s tryout lasts 2 kicks By DENNIS WASZAK JR. The Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Lauren Silberman’s NFL tryout lasted all of two kicks, neither of which traveled 20 yards. Silberman became the first woman to compete at an NFL regional scouting combine on Sunday, but left the New York Jets’ practice field after reinjuring her quadriceps. She tried two kickoffs, the first going 19 yards and the second about 13 yards, and then asked to see a trainer. As more than two dozen media, including E! Entertainment network, watched her every move, the 28-year-old Silberman was examined off to the side of the practice field. About 30 minutes later, while 36 other kickers continued their workouts, she called the scene “surreal” and thanked the NFL for “this tremendous opportunity.” A former club soccer player at Wisconsin, Silberman took no warmup kicks until she attempted her first kickoff and even appeared to have some trouble keeping the football on the kicking tee. “I’ve always been an athlete, and I’ve always been a gamer,” she said while fighting back tears. “When I had the opportunity to be in the NFL, one of the world’s most competitive leagues, I absolutely had to take the chance.”

Lauren Silberman boots the ball during kicker tryouts at the NFL regional combine workout Sunday in Florham Park, N.J. Silberman said she suffered a quadriceps injury while preparing for the tryout earlier in the week, and attributed her struggles to that. “I tried staying off it and waited for today,” she said. “I didn’t even take kicks in warmups, and, it’s pretty hard to know that you’ll be in pain and I wanted to work through it and I certainly tried to, but I just couldn’t do it today.” Silberman, who spoke to the media for 3 minutes after the tryout, insisted she can “do more” and “it’s too bad that this happened.” She also said she “did the right thing” and anticipates trying to kick again in the future.

NFL

Flacco wins money game, but what of him as player? By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Joe Flacco’s impeccable timing earned him the richest contract for a quarterback in NFL history. That doesn’t mean he’s the game’s best QB. Flacco agreed to a six-year, $120.6 million deal Friday after leading the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl title. He gambled by playing out his five-year rookie contract rather than renegotiate before last season. And it paid off, catapulting him to the top of the money list at the game’s glamor position. A look at perhaps the league’s best quarterbacks shows Flacco the equal of Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers for championship rings with one each. At 28, his chances of adding to those titles seem better than those for Manning (37 this month), and Brees (34). Even though Flacco has surpassed the future earnings of every NFL quarterback – for now – does he measure up as a player? And where does he belong? Here’s a look at the resumes of those quarterbacks, in order of how much they will make in

base salary for 2013:

Joe Flacco, Baltimore: Flacco already has set records for road playoff victories (six) and is the only QB to win postseason games in his first five seasons. But this was the first time he could get the Ravens to the Super Bowl in five tries. Of course, they won, and he was superb in January and February. Peyton Manning, Denver: His $20 million base is befitting the NFL’s only four-time MVP, all with Indianapolis. After missing 2011 because of neck operations, he moved to Denver and nearly won the award again. Eli Manning, New York Giants:

Peyton’s younger brother has one more Super Bowl championship to his credit. He will make $13 million in base salary and his salary cap hit, including signing bonus tops the league: $20.85 million. Philip Rivers, San Diego: No Super Bowls to go with the $12 million the Chargers owe him in salary this year. Tony Romo, Dallas: Some would say Romo’s inability to produce in big games, regular season or playoffs, makes his $11.5 million payday (plus another $5.3 million against the salary cap) ludicrous.

Cubs’ Jeff Samardzija throws before an exhibition spring training game against the San Francisco Giants on Feb. 24 in Mesa, Ariz. Samardzija was named the Cubs’ starting pitcher for Opening Day.

CUBS

Samardzija to start Cubs’ opener Garza heads to DL with injured muscle The ASSOCIATED PRESS MESA, Ariz. – Matt Garza will start the season on the disabled list because of an injured muscle in his side that is preventing the righthander from throwing, and Jeff Samardzija will be the opening-day starter for the Chicago Cubs. Garza’s batting-practice session was cut short Feb. 17 because of the injured latissimus dorsi muscle. He rested 10 days and was in the second day of a throwing program on flat ground when he felt more tightness Saturday. He won’t throw for the next week. “I don’t sit back and let things happen, I make them

happen and keep pushing and going,” Garza said Sunday. “Now we know it is just time. The recovery rate I was on, everything felt great. It’s the body’s way of saying it is going to take a little more time. It’s not a setback, more like I’ve come to the realization you can’t out-mind your body.” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Garza will get two springtraining starts at most and will miss the first two weeks to a month of the season. Samardzija will start at Pittsburgh on April 1. He was 9-13 with a 3.81 ERA last season, when he had a 2.39 ERA in his last seven starts. “He is a guy the players rally around because of his bulldog mentality when he is one the mound,” Sveum said. “It is a very obvious choice really.” Samardzija will be joined in the rotation by Travis Wood, Carlos Villanueva, Ed-

win Jackson and Scott Feldman. “I went through some humbling baseball experience in ’09 and ’10. It put a lot of things in perspective,” Samardzija said. “I’m excited. The best thing as an athlete is to see all your hard work lead to positive gains from it. You get some taste of success and you want to keep that rolling. That’s where I am right now.” Cubs (ss) 4, Angels 2: At Tempe, Ariz., Joe Blanton allowed a first-inning solo homer to Brian Bogusevic in his first game in a Los Angeles Angels’ uniform, a loss to a

Cubs’ split squad Sunday. Blanton, who agreed to a $15 million, two-year deal with the Angels during the offseason, allowed just the one hit in two innings, struck out two and walked none. Blanton was 10-13 with a 4.71 ERA for Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Dodgers last year. Nick Struck, the Cubs’ minor league pitcher of the year, made his second exhibition appearance and gave up two hits in three scoreless innings. Brewers 4, Cubs (ss) 3: At Mesa, Ariz., Carlos Gomez homered and Taylor Green had two hits to help Milwaukee beat a Cubs split squad. Gomez and Green backed an impressive outing by Brewers right-hander Marco Estrada before he left to join Team Mexico for the World Baseball Classic. Estrada pitched four scoreless innings. He allowed one hit, walked two and struck out three.

PADRES 4, WHITE SOX 0

White Sox, Peavy roughed up against Padres The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA, Ariz. – Jake Peavy and Clayton Richard will always be linked as the key pieces of a trade between the San Diego Padres and White Sox. The two pitchers faced off Sunday, their first starts of spring training. Richard pitched two scoreless innings, leading the Padres to a 4-0 win over the Sox. Peavy was hit hard, giving up three runs and five hits. Peavy yielded RBI doubles to Chase Headley, Cameron Maybin and Nick Hundley. Despite the result, Peavy was

happy with his performance. He focused on fastball command, throwing just two sliders as a strikeout pitch. More importantly, Peavy no longer has any concerns about injuries, a recurring issue in recent springs. “It’s not (even) in the Jake Peavy back of my head,” Peavy said of his health. “You have no idea what the future holds – I may go out tomorrow and my elbow could blow up, that’s the

Next for the Sox White Sox vs. San Francisco, 2:05 p.m. today

risk we all take. But I think the numbers velocity-wise today proves that to a lot of guys around camp. I had a little bit more than I had at any point all of last year. That’s a nice sign for me and something to build on and you have to keep getting stronger.”

Peavy was surprised that the Padres were so aggressive, with nine of his 15 batters faced swinging at a first-pitch fastball. Being aggressive within the zone has become a point of emphasis with the Padres dating to last season, especially against top-flight pitchers. “You can’t get behind on these pitchers, and you saw some willingness to go after the early fastball in the second half last year and our hitting coaches continue to preach that philosophy,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “I think that’s a good thing.”

BLACKHAWKS 2, RED WINGS 1 (SO)

Hawks top Wings in SO Next for the Hawks

By LARRY LAGE The Associated Press DETROIT – Patrick Kane kept the Blackhawks’ record streak alive. The Hawks extended their NHL-record, season-opening points streak to 22 games Sunday when Kane scored the tying goal on a power play with 2:02 left in regulation and had the only goal in a shootout. That lifted the Hawks to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red

Minnesota at Hawks, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, CSN, AM-720 Wings. Corey Crawford was perfect in the shootout and finished with 32 saves to help his team win a ninth straight

game. The Hawks have earned at least a point in 28 straight games – dating to a March 25, 2012, loss in regulation to Nashville – to tie the secondlongest streak in league history. They’ve matched Montreal’s multiseason points streak from the 1977-78 season and trail only Philadelphia’s run of 35 straight games with at least a point during the 197980 season.

No signs of streak coming to an end • ARNOLD Continued from page B1

Somehow, some way, the Hawks have continued to win, running their record to 19-0-3 in a game that had playoff hockey written all over it, even though the NHL powers that be are determined to drive a rift between the two rivals when they realign the league. The Hawks have continued to win despite rotating goalies between Crawford and Ray Emery and despite the fact that the role of hero has bounced around the Hawks’ lineup more than it did around the net throughout Sunday’s heart-stopping third period. And yet, that’s what has put the Hawks at a different level this season. They just find ways to win no matter the circumstance and no matter who ends up adding another game to The Streak. Sunday, it was Kane and Crawford. But Tuesday night, when the Hawks seek to move The Streak into its

mid-20s at the United Center against Minnesota, it easily could be someone else. And knowing this team, it probably will be. But no matter who delivers the heroics, the result never changes. The Hawks just keep winning and winning and winning. “That’s the best part of the run right now,” Kane said. “It seems to be a different guy every night. It’s been a blast.” Yet, for all the talk over how long The Streak can and will continue, Kane insists the Hawks still haven’t played their best hockey. Even though they still haven’t dropped a game in regulation, there’s still room for this team to improve. OK, when you’re talking about a string of 22 games the Hawks have registered at least a point, it’s hard to find negatives. The power play comes to mind for starters, but considering how Kane’s late-game heroics came after the Red Wings were whistled for delay of game, giving the Hawks a man advantage,

we’ll save that for another day. But this much is for certain. Even when they’re not at their best – as they weren’t Friday night against Minnesota and as they weren’t for much of the third period Sunday – the Hawks still find ways to win. That’s usually a defining trait of championship teams: Even when they appear beatable, they just refuse to lose. So for now, though, enjoy another win. Put on your Patrick Kane jersey and celebrate another step in what has already been a historic season. OK, so you may have had to sweat the latest win out a little more than you would have liked, but for a resilient team that keeps finding ways to win – Sunday just became another day in a run that, at least for now, shows no signs of ending.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hossa plays 1,000th NHL game By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Marian Hossa tried to treat Sunday just like any other of the 999 games he has played during his NHL career. But even before he stepped onto the ice for the 1,000th time at Joe Louis Arena, fans in Detroit made sure he remembered it. When 15-year veteran’s name was announced the Blackhawks’ starters, the boos that accompanied any mention of the visiting team, grew louder. Every time Hossa touched the puck during the first period of the Hawks’ 2-1 shootout win, the boos returned. When Hossa was recognized in between the first and second periods with a public address announcement and by having an image of him in a Red Wings sweater on the JumboTron, the reception was more boos than cheers. “It doesn’t bother me,” Hossa said afterward. “It wasn’t loud or anything and so I just kept playing. “I tried to focus and do my thing, but definitely, it was nice we [kept the win streak going] on my 1,000th game.” Hossa is in his fourth season with the Hawks after spending the 2008-09 campaign in Detroit when he scored 40 goals and had 31 assists. On Sunday, he became the 283rd player in NHL history to reach the milestone. Hossa said his teammates congratulated him before Sunday’s game before his former team acknowledged the feat during the game. Hossa waved to the crowd after the announcement. “That definitely was a class act by their organization – I spent, what I think, was a great year in Detroit,” Hossa said. “So, that was definitely nice for them.” Hawks coach Joel Quennville said he was glad the Hawks could pull out a victory to mark the occasion, running

He’s just the perfect guy to coach and plays the team system to a tee and we’re happy to have him.” Double duty: Patrick Kane had a busy afternoon. Even before scoring the game-tying goal with 2:02 remaining in regulation and then the game-winner, Kane skated double shifts when Quenneville “pulled an audible” after warm-ups and started seven defensemen. With the Hawks down a forward, Quenneville asked Kane to put in some extra work. Quenneville wouldn’t comment when asked if an injury caused him to re-think his lineup, saying only that he made an adjustment. Kane, who logged 23:29 on the ice, said he was skating double shifts for the last half of the first period after Quenneville asked if he was up for giving the Hawks’ offense a boost. Quenneville said he’s always mindful of asking players to do more, especially given the shortened season and the frequency with which teams play. The Hawks are

in a stretch when they’ll play seven games in 11 games. But Kane said he’s always up for more ice time. “He always asks if you’re ready to go, and I always say yes,” Kane said. “Sometimes you’re a little bit tired but once you get out there, you can get off the ice a little bit, you catch your breath pretty quick.” Quenneville said of all the players he has asked to take on a double shift, Kane is in a category of one. “Kaner’s one guy that has never said no,” Quenneville said. “There’s some guys that would be dead tired and so you don’t even bother asking, but Kaner, if you look at him, he’s ready to go.” Ice chips: Quenneville said he expects second-line center Dave Bolland to be ready to return to the lineup when the Hawks host Minnesota on Tuesday night at the United Center. Bolland suffered a lower body injury Feb. 1 against Vancouver and had been dayto-day over the past couple of weeks. ... Defenseman Steve Montator remains unable to play, but has been improving, Quenneville said. Montador hasn’t been able to skate with his teammates while experiencing concussion-like symptoms and has not been cleared to play.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Thompson wins 1st tour title The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Michael Thompson’s dream of winning his first PGA Tour event was walking up the final fairway with a big lead and very little stress. The reality was much different Sunday in the Honda Classic. He had a one-shot lead as he stood in the 18th fairway, about 240 yards from the flag with trouble in the way in the shape of large lake. The motto from his golf team at Alabama was to “finish strong,” and Thompson did just that. Instead of laying up, he drilled a 5-wood into the bunker left of the green, setting up a simple sand shot and a birdie he didn’t even need. He closed with a 1-under-par 69, one of only five rounds under par on a punishing day at PGA National to finally become a PGA Tour winner. “That for me kind of sealed the deal,” Thompson said. “It allowed me to walk up the fairway and enjoy the experience, see the crowd and ... just finish strong.” The start wasn’t bad, either. Thompson holed a 50-foot eagle putt on the third hole, relied on a superb short game around the toughest part of the golf course to build a four-shot lead, and hung on for a

two-shot win over Geoff Ogilvy that takes him places he always wanted to be. He gets into his first World Golf Championship next week at Doral, and qualifies for two more WGCs this year at Firestone and in Shanghai. He’s in the PGA Championship, gets to start next year in Hawaii and earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour. And to think just two weeks ago he was so down after a 78-80 performance at Riviera that he wondered if he would ever make another cut. “This week was magical,” Thompson said. “Just had a groove and kept feeling it.” Tshwane Open: At Centurion, South Africa, Dawie Van Der Walt became the fifth South African winner in 10 European Tour events this season with his two-shot victory. Van Der Walt posted a final round 5-under 67 to finish at 21-under overall for his first win on the Tour. The Texas-based golfer is ranked 436th in the world. Van Der Walt was among four players tied for the lead after the third round, including fellow South African Darren Fichardt, who shot 69 to finish second at 19-under in the European and Sunshine Tour event. “You start doubting yourself and

at 30 years old you start to wonder if you’re good enough and this shows me that I am,” Van Der Walt said. “I would have liked to win before 30, but I’ll definitely take this. Golf is a game where you don’t get a lot of chances to win, and to do it is fantastic. “I hit the ball really good and I never really had to chip, which is not my strength. If you hit a lot of greens and don’t three-putt then you’re going to do well.” HSBC Women’s Champions: At Singapore, Stacy Lewis, the 2012 LPGA Player of the Year, won the event for her sixth career title on the tour. She closed with a 1-under 71, overcoming two bogeys and some shaky putting on the back nine to hold off South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi by one stroke. “The last four or five holes, I was pretty nervous, I’m not going to lie,” said Lewis, who finished at 15-under 273 Sentosa Golf Club. “I just played hard and put my head down and tried to make as many putts as I could, and fortunately I came away with the win.” Choi, who had a 72, was runnerup at the tournament for the second consecutive year. She lost to Angela Stanford in a four-player playoff last year.

Screening for kidney disease Meds treat asthma many ways can prevent future damage Dear Abby: I always knew high blood pressure ran in my family, but I never realized it could cause kidney disease. Then I attended one of the National Kidney Foundation’s free kidney health screenings and was shocked to learn my lab results showed a decline in my kidney function. Because I felt healthy, I hadn’t worried about my “borderline” hypertension. Turns out, my kidneys were silently being damaged. I since have made lifestyle changes to control my blood pressure and prevent further damage. These include daily exercise and cutting back on salt, sweets and fast food. Kidney disease and its leading causes – high blood pressure and diabetes – run in families, and one in three American adults are at risk. Many people don’t realize early detection can make a critical difference, protecting the kidneys and preventing damage. March is National Kidney Month, and March 14 is World Kidney Day. The National Kidney Foundation is urging Americans to learn their risk factors for kidney disease and to get their kidneys checked with a simple urine and blood test. They will offer more advice on protecting these vital organs

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and staying healthy. For a schedule of free kidney health screenings across the country, not only during March but throughout the year, visit the National Kidney Foundation website at kidney.org. –

Jeff Carter, Buffalo, N.Y. Dear Jeff: I’m glad you

wrote because I was taken aback to learn that more than 26 million American adults and thousands of children have chronic kidney disease. Readers, it’s important to be checked because millions of people with diabetes, hypertension and other diseases do not realize they’re at risk for developing kidney disease. Could this include you or someone you love? Dear Abby: I married into a shopaholic family. My husband and I live in a small home with our two young daughters. My biggest problem is my mother-in-law. She has only two interests: eating and shopping. Good manners dictate I graciously accept all her gifts, but I am sick to my stomach over the gross excess. I think she has an addiction. She has stolen from me the joy of buying baby

clothes for my children. My Christmas tree is decked with all the ornaments from my husband’s youth, and a massive dusty doll collection is coming our way. Although my husband himself struggles with buying and collecting stuff, he agrees with me less is better for our family. I would like to keep things simple, but it’s impossible with my in-laws. –

Overloaded In Minnesota Dear Overloaded: People

make purchases beyond that which is needed for various reasons. Sometimes it’s an attempt to buy love. Other times it can be to ease anxiety or depression. If you don’t draw the line and make your wishes clear, your mother-in-law will not stop what she’s doing. Explain you are grateful for her generosity, but your house is FULL, and therefore one or two gifts per child is all you will accept. Period. Leave some of the Christmas decorations in storage next December so there will be room on your tree for some of your own. And when the doll collection is delivered, if your girls can’t use it, consider selling or donating it.

Dear Dr. K: I have asthma. Can you explain how bronchodilators and steroids help me breathe easier? Dear Reader: To understand how asthma medications work, you need to understand how asthma affects your lungs. Asthma assaults the lung’s airways. The airways are the tubes through which the air you breathe enters and leaves your lungs. During an asthma attack, the airways get narrower as the muscles surrounding them constrict. During an attack, the airways also become inflamed. Mucus produced by the inflammation fills the narrowed passageways. As a result, the flow of air is partially or completely blocked. (I’ve put an illustration of this on my website.) Some people with asthma have only occasional, mild symptoms. These might include wheezing, difficulty breathing or a persistent cough. Others have nearly constant symptoms with severe, life-threatening flare-ups. Symptoms of a severe asthma attack can include extreme shortness of breath, chest tightness, flared nostrils, pursed lips, and bluish lips and fingernails. Asthma medicines fall into two general categories: controllers and relievers. Controllers are medicines taken regularly (usually

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff

every day) to reduce the likelihood of asthma attacks. Relievers are used just during asthma attacks, to stop or reduce the severity of the attack. Whether controllers or relievers, asthma medications act in one of two ways: (1) they prevent or stop inflammation of the airways; (2) they relax the muscles that line the airways. • Bronchodilators relax the muscles around the airways to improve airflow. The most common types of bronchodilators are the beta agonists. There are both long-acting types and short-acting types. The long-acting types are controllers: They are used to reduce the number of asthma attacks and usually are prescribed for daily use. The short-acting types are relievers, used to stop an asthma attack, whether mild or severe. Bronchodilators can be inhaled in an inhaler or taken with a nebulizer, a device that mixes medications with a mist for inhalation. • Anti-inflammatory medications prevent asthma attacks from happening. They usually are taken regularly, regardless of whether you are having

symptoms. They work by reducing inflammation, which decreases mucus production and reduces tightening of airway muscles. Anyone with asthma symptoms that happen more than a couple times a week should consider taking an anti-inflammatory medication. The first choice is usually an inhaled corticosteroid. • Other medications: Drugs called methylxanthines are older types of controllers; they work mainly on relaxing the muscles of the airways. Drugs called leukotriene inhibitors are newer types of anti-inflammatory drugs that are controllers. A drug called ipratropium sometimes is used in the emergency room during severe attacks to relax the airways. An anti-inflammatory drug called omalizumab is a controller that can effectively reduce the number of serious attacks in some people. Fortunately, we have better treatments for asthma today than we did when I trained to become a doctor. If you take your medications as prescribed, you will minimize the effect asthma has on your life.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Hungarian discoverer of vitamin C who won the Nobel Prize in physiology/ medicine in 1937, said, “Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought.” At the bridge table, doing well consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking of the right play at the right moment. The hard part, of course, is having the winning idea pass into your consciousness. In this deal, how should East plan the defense against four spades after West leads the heart nine? When South rebid two no-trump to show a minimum balanced hand, North jumped to what he thought would be the best game contract. Note that three no-trump can be defeated after a club lead. When three aces are missing, the defenders have several entries, so they can usually get their long suit established and cashed. South thought he had only three losers, the missing aces. And that was all he lost when East took the first trick with his ace and played back a heart. Declarer won on the board and

drove out the spade ace. As the cards lay, he could not go down. East hoped West had led a singleton, but that was impossible, because then South would have had four hearts and would have rebid two hearts, not two no-trump. East should have encouraged with his heart 10 at trick one. Then, when West got in with his spade ace, he would have led his second heart, received a heart ruff, and cashed his club ace for down one. When drawing a conclusion, ask yourself if it is consistent with what has happened.
