sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Village Trustee Pam Fender hoped to bring a new era of cooperation in a township plagued by infighting and lawsuits the past four years, after securing the Republican nomination for Grafton Township supervisor Tuesday.

The Huntley Village Board member built a steady lead throughout the night in a race that largely focused on incumbent Supervisor Linda Moore’s tenure and dysfunctional relationship with the Grafton trustees.

But Moore’s reign as supervisor now sunsets, after Fender garnered 780 votes to defeat attorney Marty Waitzman, who captured 618 votes, and Moore, who col-

Smith trial under way S

By SARAH SUTSCHEK WOODSTOCK – Prosecutors say Timothy S. Smith shot an unarmed man in the back and then tried to cover his tracks by staging a breakin, but the defense painted a picture of a man protecting his wife who didn’t mean to kill.

Smith, 28, of Woodstock, is charged with murder in connection with the death of 48-year-old Kurt Milliman of Prairie Grove, a former McHenry County courthouse security officer and Island Lake bar owner.

“

I have a confidence that I’ve never felt in my life that I’m going to beat this, and I believe that comes from my faith in God. I’m not afraid of this.”

PRING GROVE – Upbeat and good-humored, two brothers, both graduates of Richmond-Burton Community High School, watched mechanics work on the white Chevrolet Silverado, talking parts and generally joking around.

Kienan Wubs, 23, had arranged the donated parts and work with Unionbased Calibrated Power Solutions Inc. on Tuesday as a surprise for his brother, Camden Wubs, 27. Kienan, a sergeant with the U.S. Marines, wanted to give his brother something to smile about before he left for his eight-month deployment to Afghanistan because there’s a chance that Camden might not be there when he gets back.

Depression can be heavy burden to bear “Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears ...” – Kahlil Gibran A sorority sister left that poem anonymously in my mail slot my sophomore year at Northwestern University.

My father had died shortly before I returned to class that year, no easy thing for a 19-year-old kid to handle.

I thought I had been putting on a brave face, denying to the world that what had occurred had shaken my world to its very core.

I learned then that sometimes one can hide one’s true feelings, and sometimes one cannot. Or more accurately, some can do it better than I. I also learned that we can never really know what is going on in the mind of another.

An event that might not seem all that big of a deal to one person just

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver might be the thing that puts another over the edge. And a smile just might mask a sorrow beyond words.

Who are we to judge the pain of another?

That Gibran poem came to mind again upon the news of the suicide of country singer Mindy McCready.

I’m not follower of country music, and I wouldn’t recognize a McCready song if I heard one.

However, her struggles with depression, domestic violence and substance abuse transcended her musical sphere.

At 37, McCready had been through more than a lot of us will face in twice that many years.

Sadly, the pattern of her life and eventual death are all too familiar.

She had attempted suicide more

than once. She battled drug and alcohol addiction. She had been to rehab, even appearing on the “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” reality series.

Yet she never really was able to get off her own life’s roller-coaster. And even to the end, she put on a brave face and vowed to continue.

Just last month, her live-in boyfriend, record producer David Wilson, was found dead on the porch of the Arkansas home where McCready later committed suicide.

It was a sad end to a troubled life.

As always happens in these sad stories, there are those who wag their fingers and pass judgment on the “chaos” she and others like her bring upon themselves.

What they fail to appreciate are the depths of pain that depression can bring. If only it were as easy to dispel those inner demons as these critics would have us believe.

Even here, a spike in suicide deaths in 2010 led to the formation of the

McHenry County Suicide Task Force.

Sadly, the trend is continuing.

For some, the winter, with its shorter days and increased isolation, poses an additional challenge.

How disheartening that someone would think it would be funny to pretend to have seasonal affective disorder in order to “dupe” a Northwest Herald reporter.

Emotional pain is hardly a joke, Justin Stone. Perhaps when you grow up, you’ll understand.

For those who are sincerely struggling, please hold on.

If you need help, please remember that the McHenry County Crisis Line is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-8928900.

And know that you are far from alone.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – A radio transmitter and then a feast of quail and mouse led to the capture of a California zoo’s bald eagle after three days on the lam.

The Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo’s tame 24-year-old bald eagle Sequoia was enjoying her daily exercise Saturday at a park when strong winds spooked her.

Instead of returning to handlers, she flew north and roosted in Menlo Park.

The San Jose Mercury News reported Sequoia was tracked Monday to a Redwood City tree.

The famished bird finally dropped from her perch to the arm of trainer John Flynn, who rewarded her with a quail and mouse feast.

8TODAY’S TALKER

Adventure travel grows despite occasional disaster

By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – When Carole Rosenblat was growing up in the 1970s, her parents’ idea of an adventurous vacation was “driving cross-country from Michigan to California in a non-air-conditioned car with three kids.”

Her idea of adventure is a little different: “Jumping out of planes – things like that.

Parasailing, hot-air ballooning. These things make you know you’re alive!”

And the balloon accident in Egypt that killed 19 people Tuesday is not likely to deter her from future adventures. “It

does not give me pause at all,” said Rosenblat, a freelance writer and occasional tour guide based in Gilbert, Ariz.

Rosenblat’s attitude is part of what’s fueling worldwide growth in adventure travel. It’s an $89 billion industry, according to the Adventure Travel Trade Association, and it has grown 17 percent in each of the past two years, according to the association’s president, Shannon Stowell. That’s four times the rate of the overall tourism industry, which grew about 4.6 percent in 2011.

But while travelers may think nothing of bungee-jumping or whitewater rafting, these types of activities are not

risk-free. While statistically rare, accidents involving adventure vacations happen on a regular basis. To cite just a few recent headlines: This past weekend, a woman was swept away and drowned in Hawaii on a hiking trip with 55 people. Recreational diving deaths have been reported this month in California and Florida. A woman parasailing in Florida last summer died when her harness gave way, one of 70 parasailing deaths in the past 30 years. And 54 skiers and snowboarders died in accidents on U.S. ski slopes last season, according to the National Ski Areas Association.

Kelly wins Democratic nod Former Illinois legislator could replace ex-Rep. Jackson Jr.

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Former Illinois legislator Robin Kelly captured the Democratic nomination Tuesday in the race to replace disgraced ex-U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., after a truncated campaign season where she got a boost from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s super PAC. The nomination all but assures that Kelly will sail through the April 9 general election and head to Washington, because the Chicago-area district is overwhelmingly Democratic.

From a crowded field of Democratic contenders, Kelly emerged early as a leader on gun-control issues – a central theme during the race – which helped her win support from Bloomberg’s super PAC, Independence USA. It poured more than $2 million into the race by airing anti-gun ads in her favor and against another Dem-

Halvorson conceded Tuesday evening, saying the outside money certainly played a role. “It shows, unfortunately, you can’t go up against that big money. ...That’s the problem with super PACs,� Halvorson, who unsuccessfully challenged Jackson in a primary last year, told the AP. “There is nothing I could have done differently.�

After casting her ballot earlier in the day, in the snowy weather that pelted the region Tuesday, Halvorson had warned that if the ads were successful, Bloomberg would try to “buy seats� across the country.

Another Democratic front runner, Chicago Alderman Anthony Beale, also took issue with the ads, saying people were “extremely upset� that someone from New York was trying to tell people in Illinois how to vote.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama brushed off a Republican plan Tuesday to give him flexibility to allocate $85 billion in looming spending cuts, wanting no part of a deal that would force him to choose between the bad and the terrible.

Three days out and no closer to any agreement, both parties sought to saddle the other with the blame for the painful ramification of the across-theboard cuts set to kick in Friday.

Obama accused Republicans of steadfastly refusing to compromise, while the top Senate Republican, Mitch McConnell, chided Obama’s effort to “fan

“You don’t want to have to choose between, ‘let’s see, do I close funding for the disabled kid, or the poor kid? Do I close this Navy shipyard or some other one?’ � Obama said. “You can’t gloss over the pain and the impact it’s going to have on the economy.�

Giving the Obama administration more authority could take pressure off of Congress to address the sequester. But the White House is also keenly aware that it would give Republicans an opening to blame Obama, instead of themselves, for every unpopular cut he makes. Not all Republicans were on board, either. “We’ll say, ‘Mr. President, it is now up to you to find this $85 billion in savings,’ and we’ll say

the flames of catastrophe.�

McConnell and other top Republicans were lining up behind a plan that wouldn’t replace the cuts but would give Obama’s agency heads, such as incoming Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, greater discretion in distributing the cuts.

The idea is that money could be transferred from lower-priority accounts to others that fund air traffic control or meat inspection.

But Obama, appearing at a Virginia shipbuilding site that he said would sit idle should the cuts go through, rejected the idea, saying there’s no smart way to cut such a large chunk from the budget over just seven months – the amount of time left in the fiscal year.

it’s to make it easier for you, but every decision he’ll make, we’ll criticize,� acknowledged Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina in a CNN interview Monday.

The White House has warned the $85 billion in cuts could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. The cuts would slash domestic and defense spending, leading to forced unpaid days off for hundreds of thousands of workers.

The impact won’t be immediate. Federal workers would be notified next week that they will have to take up to a day off every week without pay, but the furloughs won’t start for a month due to notification requirements.

Survey: Budget impasse holding back economy WASHINGTON – The political standoff over the U.S. budget is slowing the U.S. economy – more so than any hesitance by Americans to spend freely.

That consensus emerges from the latest Associated Press Economy Survey just as the budget impasse in Washington is about to trigger automatic spending cuts across the economy.

Twenty-three of the 37 economists who responded to the survey last week say the paralysis in Washington is a significant factor in slowing the economy. The next-biggest factors they cite, in order: too little job growth, excessive government regulation and taxes, stagnant wages and cautious bank lending. Eight say they worry about consumers saving more and spending less.

WASHINGTON – A deeply divided Senate voted on Tuesday to confirm Republican Chuck Hagel to be the nation’s next defense secretary, handing President Barack Obama’s pick the top Pentagon job just days before billions of dollars in automatic, across-the-board budget cuts hit the military.

The vote was 58-41, with four Republicans joining the Democrats in backing the contentious choice.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House completed seven hours of debate Tuesday on the issue of public gun possession by adopting a comprehensive plan long pushed by advocates.

The 67-48 vote in favor of Rep. Brandon Phelps’s amendment doesn’t mean concealedcarry got House approval. The Harrisburg Democrat’s plan was one of a dozen amendments added to a bill allowing concealed gun carrying a federal court says Illinois must adopt by June. It was unclear when the House would take a final vote on the issue.

SPRINGFIELD – A House committee has endorsed allowing Illinois gay and lesbian couples to marry. The House Executive Committee voted, 6-5, late Tuesday to move a measure lifting the state’s ban on samesex marriage to the floor.

Chicago Democratic Rep. Greg Harris said his bill is a matter of treating gay and heterosexual couples equally under the law. Advocates said the bill would help eliminate discrimination against children of homosexual couples.

But opponents say this measure steps on people’s religious freedoms.

A House OK would send the matter to Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. He has said he’ll sign it.

after early dismissal on Tuesday

Continued from page A1 just means that I won one round,” Fender said. “I still have another election to go through.”

Only about 2,000 voters in Grafton Township braved heavy snow and treacherous road conditions to help decide the supervisor race. Fender now prepares to face Independent candidate Jim Kearns in the April 9 general election.

Grafton voters also decided contested races for township assessor and highway commissioner. Elsewhere in McHenry County, voters headed to the polls to decide supervisor, trustee and commissioner races in Algonquin, Nunda and Dorr townships.

But in Grafton, Fender said she would usher a sense of compromise and cooperation among all the elected officials in the township, if elected in April.

The infighting that has defined Grafton during the past four years primarily centered on the relationship between Moore and the four other Grafton trustees. Moore’s successful effort to block the construction of a multi-milliondollar township hall propelled her to the supervisor spot in 2009, and the effort set an acrimonious tone between Moore and the trustees. From there, the parties engaged in lawsuits, racked up large legal fees and

In a decision just before the primary election, Moore and the board had to approve a short-term loan from the road district to keep the township operational into March.

On Tuesday, Moore conceded and thanked the many volunteers who helped her. Moore now moves into lame-duck status as supervisor until her term expires in May. Waitzman also conceded and said he wished Fender well. He said he will focus on his Algonquin law firm and his family, while still attending the monthly Grafton meetings.

The other Grafton races included a surprise win for Al Zielinski, who was township Assessor Bill Ottley’s first primary challenger. Zielinski secured 1,047 votes to Ottley’s 875 votes, according to unofficial numbers from the county

clerk’s office.

Elected first in 1990, Ottley missed valuable campaign time through most of February after breaking his hip while canvassing neighborhoods. Zielinski now will face Independent Terra Jensen on April 9.

Tom Poznanski coasted to the Republican nomination for township highway commissioner, securing 1,164 votes versus Richard Dvorak’s 674 votes.

Poznanski will face Independent Tim Hoeft in the general election. All the candidates for Grafton trustee, including incumbent Betty Zirk and newcomers Carol Williams and Robert Wagner, automatically move on to face a slate of Independent candidates in April.

Linda Moore’s husband, David Moore, secured enough votes – 20 – as a write-in candidate to move on to the general election in the trustee race.

Attorney Michael Combs said Kim Smith “wasn’t into it” and told Milliman to leave.

Timothy Smith had been in the home but in another room, and stepped in.

“This guy lost his cool, he got mad, and he shot him,” Combs said.

Smith then tried to smash his computer and used his elbow to break a window to make it look as if Milliman was an intruder.

But police confronted Smith with inconsistencies in his story, and he admitted that he was lying, Combs said.

“When you’re a lying liar, your story doesn’t make sense,” Combs said.

Combs also attacked Kim Smith, calling her a “harlot” who was part of the “house of ill repute.”

After prosecutors forced her hand by granting her immunity for whatever she says on the stand, Kim Smith is expected to testify. She faces her own charges, including prostitution, but never was charged with murder.

Assistant Public Defender Kim Messer acknowledged that jurors aren’t going to like Timothy Smith, his wife

“This is not a case about intention to kill a person.

It is a case about natural instinct to protect.”

Kim Messer Assistant Public Defender or Milliman.

But they were all consenting adults, she said.

“This is not a case about intention to kill a person,” Messer said. “It is a case about natural instinct to protect.”

The Smiths were involved in a “swinger” lifestyle, she said, and that eventually parlayed into having sex for profit.

Because the couple was engaged in an inherently risky situation, Timothy Smith had been home in case something happened when Milliman came to the house.

Timothy Smith heard his wife tell Milliman to get his hands off her, Messer said.

He took his gun and saw Milliman pinning his wife to the wall, so he grabbed Milliman by the collar.

Then Milliman flailed or something happened in the scuffle, and the gun went off, Messer said.

Milliman was shot once, with the bullet entering near

his right shoulder blade and traveling across his chest before becoming lodged near his left collarbone.

“Tim didn’t want that gun to go off, but it did,” Messer said. “He was threatening force to get that man out of the house. The man wasn’t leaving.”

She acknowledged that Smith lied to police, but only because he didn’t want anyone to know about what he and his wife were doing.

He never denied shooting Milliman, she said.

Other evidence presented showed photographs of the home, including of what appeared to be blood on the floor and wall near the front door.

Photos also showed opened and unopened condom wrappers and a $50 bill found behind a toilet.

The first officer on the scene, Deputy Joshua Singer, testified that when he arrived, Timothy Smith was on his knees crying outside the home with Kim Smith pacing nearby.

Timothy Smith pointed to the gun nearby on the ground and said that he shot a man to protect his wife, Singer said.

The trial was cut short Tuesday because of snowy weather, but testimony is scheduled to begin again today at 9 a.m.

And his brother is confident too, but he added that when he’s deployed, he tries not to think about things that are going on back home so that he stays focused.

“Cam’s a strong dude,” Kienan said. “There’s not a doubt in my mind that [he will] do what he said he was going to do.”

Red Cross can contact Kienan and bring him home, he said.

The two brothers are close.

They enlisted on the same day: June 3, 2008. Camden joined the Air Force, and Kienan joined the Marines.

Their competitiveness bleeds over to a competition between the branches, with one brother surreptitiously raising his branch’s flag higher than the other’s outside their parents’ home

or putting a bumper sticker with the wrong branch on the other’s car.

Kienan was supposed to be stationed in Japan, his father said, but because of everything going on with Camden, he found a way to switch units so he could stay in the U.S. longer – but what he’s doing now is more dangerous.

As Camden talks, his eyes drift to the flat-screen TV, which shows the mechanics

at Calibrated Power Solutions working on his truck, tuning and upgrading the exhaust system so it gets more horsepower and miles to the gallon.

Camden, his wife, Michelle, and his 17-month-old daughter, Layla, live on the Scott Air Force base about a half hour east of St. Louis.

They plan to move back to the Spring Grove area soon to be near family. Because Camden

can’t work, he’s been spending most of his days playing with his daughter and researching car parts. He will be medically retired from the Air Force in a few months.

By the end of the day, the improvements added 110 horsepower and 300 feet per pound of torque, putting it firmly into Camaro and Mustang territory, said the company’s president, Nick Priegnitz.

Here we go again with faux crisis Weren’t we just here?

Looming financial crisis, politicians screaming about how it’s the other party’s fault, doomsday predictions about the catastrophes that await if the nation’s money For the record woes aren’t solved.

Sequestration is another This time, manufactured crisis by Coninstead of falling gress, which would rather off the fiscal cliff, point fingers and kick tough we’re headed for financial decisions down the the sequester. road than solve our many fiscal Different name, problems. but both a manufactured crisis imposed upon taxpayers by our federal politicians.

Our lawmakers have yet again demonstrated that the only way they know how to operate is through a continuous cycle that consists of spending money they don’t have, kicking financial decisions down the road with the false promise they’ll spend the ensuing months working on a smart solution, a frantic call for action when faced with draconian cuts and blustering indignation that it’s all the other party’s fault.

The sequester was agreed upon in the Budget Control Act of 2011 as political parties battled over the debt limit. The act required $1.2 trillion in future budget cuts, with a requirement that Congress find another $1.2 trillion in future cuts.

If the designated congressional supercommittee didn’t sacrifice enough on the fiscal chopping block, cuts would automatically go into effect March 1, 2013.

President Barack Obama wants to make cuts and raise taxes to reach that amount. Republicans want the cuts, but no tax increases.

Safe from the budget ax are entitlement programs – those that actually drive the level of debt but would be political suicide to even consider touching – such as Social Security, veterans’ programs, Medicaid and food stamps.

If Friday comes with no deal, the sequester eventually could mean smaller checks for the unemployed, furloughs for government workers, flight delays at the airport, less money for heating aid for the poor, and weakened border patrols. The list of possible ramifications is long.

In Illinois, the White House estimates the sequester would result in, among other cuts, the loss of $33.4 million for primary and secondary education, the elimination of Head Start and Early Head Start services for about 2,700 children, and the furlough of about 14,000 civilian Department of Defense employees, reducing gross pay by about $83.5 million.

There’s no doubt spending restraints and cuts are needed.

But we are tired of these decisions being made at the last minute, when what’s smart is overshadowed by hasty decisions to beat an arbitrary deadline.

We implore lawmakers to put partisanship aside, make cuts, and actually follow through on promises to do what’s best for the country.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Red light cameras To the Editor: A local TV station did an investigative report on the top 10 locations in Chicago that produced the most amount of revenue from red-light cameras. It also disclosed the many number of tickets that were issued in each location and the incredible amount of revenue these cameras produced. One location alone gave out 3,777 tickets, which added $2 million to the city’s revenue!

The city of Chicago and all the surrounding municipalities that use them all say they’re installed to save lives and avoid traffic accidents. But do they?

The truth of the matter is that red-light cameras do not help to avoid traffic accidents. On the contrary, they have helped to cause many traffic accidents at many intersections from drivers who slam on their brakes, fearing the red-light camera will go off.

I once was a part-owner of a small messenger service before my retirement. I drove a commercial vehicle around the city and suburbs. Making deliveries in the city was a nightmare. More and more commercial loading zones were eliminated and more no-parking zones added. Why? More money

for the city.

One thing is certain. If you drive in Chicago, the city is finding more ways to take your hard-earned money before you leave and head back home.

If you must head down to the city, take a train. And as far as attending a local sporting event, I find it a lot easier to stay home and watch the Cubs broadcast on TV! Jerry Mosenson Lake in the Hills

Real change To the Editor: Cary residents who are concerned about the fiscal welfare of their village need to vote for Bruce Kaplan for mayor.

Bruce was elected as a village trustee two years ago on a probusiness and fiscal responsibility platform. Those goals are exactly the same in his bid for mayor in the coming election.

Cary has suffered through years of leadership that has been misaligned with the best interests of the community. Taxpayer money has been used repeatedly and irresponsibly on unwarranted and speculative items (e.g., speculative real estate purchases, Cameron Davis severance.)

How to sound off We welcome original letters on public issues.

Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. Election-related letters are limited to 150 words. All letters

Kaplan’s record as a trustee proves his principled focus on challenging the status quo and diligent respect and stewardship of taxpayers’ money.

Kaplan is running against the “old guard.” Residents should check the respective records. Why would Cary choose more of the “same old story” when they can vote for real change?

Avowed commitment To the Editor: I would like to urge everyone to vote for Molly Walsh for the McHenry County College Board of Trustees.

of the MCC Conference Center, providing a wide variety of educational and professional programs, and as a concerned citizen. She is extremely knowledgeable of both the MCC and the McHenry County community through her years of involvement and service to the Historical Society, League of Women Voters, and many other community organizations.

The college would be well-served by her knowledge of the educational needs of the community, her avowed commitment to fiscal responsibility and devotion to the community in which she and her family reside.

With Ms. Walsh on the board, the college will continue to grow and thrive responsibly.

College CFO: MCC’s budget planning centers on success Recently, there has been a great deal of attention paid toward McHenry County College’s budgeting process and perceived “shortfall.” All budgeting processes can be complex, so I think it is important to clarify some key points and alleviate the recent misrepresentation of the college’s budget.

Budgeting philosophy: It is best practice to think of a budget as a bottom line, total number, rather than one line within the total budget. Just as with an individual’s own budget or checking account, the college looks at what it has in savings, as well as what has been approved to spend. When a fund is down, the institution then looks at how to adjust its expenses so as not to overspend. This analysis takes place on an ongoing basis throughout the year to maintain fiscal responsibility of funds.

For our fiscal 2013 budget (July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013), there was a larger beginning fund balance in order to transfer funds into the following areas, per the Board of Trustees’ directive: • Fund Three (long-term planning for future land acquisition and building); • A reserve of three to six months in the case of catastrophic events; • Deferred maintenance (20-plus

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

year projects) MCC’s main campus and most of its facilities are closer to 40 years old. Previous administrations did not focus on deferred maintenance, which is why we now are seeing a bigger impact (i.e. replacing unsafe parking lots, sewage systems, HVAC systems, etc.).

The fund balance is intentionally being used to cover the difference between revenue received and expenses incurred for the year.

Spending fund balance is planned when prior fund balances have been purposefully accumulated in prior years, which are then utilized in current/future years. This is an intentional and acceptable method of budgeting.

This type of planning allows a large institution such as MCC to be prepared for possible challenges or growth opportunities, just as a wellrun and financially sound corporation would do.

By the end of fiscal 2013, state government revenue is forecasted to be at 95 percent due to concerns about timing and ability of the state to fund its obligations.

Student tuition and fees are expected to hit 100 percent of budget.

While we budgeted conservatively with a flat tuition continuation for fiscal 2013, our enrollment has ris-

VIEWS Bob Tenuta en in both fall and spring semesters, causing overall revenue to slightly increase. It is projected that the college will meet, and even exceed, budget revenue, as well as continue to take a conservative approach in controlling its expenditures. The combined performance in both revenues and expenditures is projected to produce better operating results than what was originally budgeted at the end of the year.

This information was articulated at our Feb. 19 Committee of the Whole meeting, as well as explained in the mid-year performance analysis at the January Board Meeting, but somehow did not get translated into recent media.

Through a multi-year budget planning process, already under way for fiscal years 2014-2016 and beyond, we are identifying areas of impact that the college must take into consideration when developing the budget: • New curriculums (which align with workforce and labor needs in the county through 2018); • Areas of program expansion

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

(robotics, health sciences education, sustainability, etc.); • Anticipated 4.5 to 6 percent reduction in the State Base Operating support; • Anticipated state transfer of the State University Retirement System contribution of 0.5 percent a year to the college; • Funding faculty and staff contractual obligations.

While factoring in the above considerations, college leadership has begun to implement cost-saving measures, as well as identify areas of additional revenue and efficiency implementation. Some of the efforts already under way include: • Elimination of vice president of administrative services personnel line item in budget; • Reduction of personnel by not refilling vacant positions; • Reduction of operating expenses in academic areas by 2 percent; • Reduction of budget for the executive office and Board of Trustees accounts; • Reduction of AQIP budget; • New programs developed to be underwritten by grants; • Restructuring personnel in IT, physical facilities, Academic Affairs, Children’s Learning Center and fitness center; • Postpone remodeling of biology

lab; • Transfer of funds from Fund 5 (Auxiliary Enterprises Fund) to Fund 2 (Operations and Maintenance) • Restructuring of fees and instructional costs in the fitness center; • Increase in tuition with multiyear options.

Supporting every financial decision we make is what McHenry County College is fully committed to: providing a quality education to all those who seek it in our community; furthering employability skills and increasing wage earning potential through workforce development; increasing the number of residents graduating with a certificate or degree to enhance their employability and quality of life; and providing a safe environment in which to learn.

Our planning always centers on our students’ success, while simultaneously being responsible with taxpayer dollars. As community members ourselves, each of us at MCC is dedicated to shaping higher education opportunities to enhance the economic viability of our county today and in the future.

Turnout low in townships In GOP supervisor races, Jennings wins in Nunda; Klemm takes Algonquin There simply wasn’t enough excitement for a primary featuring only four township governments, the McHenry County clerk said.

“I’ll be surprised if we go over 10 percent [voter turnout] for the entire four townships,” McHenry County Clerk Katherine Schultz said as results were being tallied.

She said there could be higher turnouts in some areas, but overall primary elections aren’t known for

In some races, candidates said it was too close to call.

NUNDA TOWNSHIP In a race that pitted the clerkagainstoneofitstrustees,

absentee and early ballots ultimately put Lee Jennings ahead of Bridgett Provenzano in the Nunda Township supervisor race, according to unofficial results.

Jennings had been trustee for four years to Provenzano’s eight years as clerk.

Provenzano’s husband, speaking for his wife, said the races were too close to call and the yet uncounted provisional and late absentee ballots could make the difference. Nick

According to unofficial vote totals, Jennings had 945 votes to Provenzano’s 933.

8ENVIRONMENT TIP

FINDING CHEMICALS AT HOME TOO EASY The cost of commercial, chemical-based products can be high and can contribute to longterm health concerns for families.

For example, one in three people in the U.S. suffers from allergies, asthma, sinusitis or bronchitis, according to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics.

Treatment for these conditions can include reducing synthetic chemicals in the home.

Also consider the environmental pollution caused by manufacture and disposal of such chemicals. For many homecleaning chores, cleaning products can be made using natural ingredients such as lemons, vinegar, baking and washing soda, and natural oil-based soaps, such as castile soap, instead of petroleum-based cleaners.

A growing number of commercial nontoxic home cleaning products are available.

Use of these products helps promote the growth of green businesses, which are contributing to a sustainable economy, and they support a healthy ecosystem.

Special Dragons mark milestone Special-needs students from McHenry County earn first martial arts belts

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – After months of training, five McHenry County students with special needs on Tuesday received their first martial arts belts.

Students from the Special Education District of McHenry County have trained at the Flying Dragon Martial Arts Studio in Spring Grove since September and were awarded first-level karate belts.

Bonnie Thiel, owner of Flying Dragon, said the day was a tremendous achievement for the students after months of hard work.

“Today was a very special day,” Thiel said. “They had to work so hard with all of this. ... I’m so glad I could be a part of it.”

“What I see mostly is the self-confidence.

How they feel afterward when they accomplish something, and respect for each other and for everybody else. Those are huge things that have happened.”

Sharon White Teacher at the SEDOM center

The students, competing in a group known as the Special Dragons, performed various kicking and punching drills, as well as sword exercises, and

running and kicking drills.

“Keeping them active and physically fit is really important for special needs kids,” said Sue Dietz, whose daughter was in Tuesday’s class. “It’s good for motion and coordination.”

Sharon White, teacher at the SEDOM center, said the karate classes have been beneficial to the students’ development.

“Karate is a life skill that they can take with them after they graduate,” White said.

“What I see mostly is the self-confidence. How they feel afterward when they accomplish something, and respect for each other and for everybody else.

Today’s outlook brighter Parents ask D-2 to after Tuesday snowstorm wait on abatement

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

NORTHWEST HERALD

ecoleman@shawmedia.com

A heavy snowstorm that blanketed the county and caused visibility levels near zero during the Tuesday evening commute was expected to weaken overnight, leaving light snow showers in its wake.

The region was expected to wake up to between 6 and 10 inches of snow this morning, with an additional 1 to 2 inches expected to fall today, according to the National Weather Service.

“We’re hoping to have a good morning commute tomorrow, but with more snows coming in, certainly roads could become snowcovered again,” said Mark DeVries, maintenance supervisor for the McHenry County Division of Transportation.

Several accidents were reported throughout the county Tuesday, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. High winds

RICHMOND – More than 250 parents signed a petition asking the Nippersink District 2 school board to hold off on issuing a tax abatement.

The school board is set to vote on whether to issue an abatement – and if it does, how much it would be for – at tonight’s meeting.

The district has nearly $10.4 million in reserves, an increase of $1.7 million from last year, which is why some of the board members said they think, given the economy, the district should give some of the money back.

“All we’re asking them to do is wait, wait until they assess everything, until they have a multi-year plan,” said Jessica Bis, a Spring Grove resident and parent of four children. She has twins in first grade.

TLC seeks vounteers for workdays NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – The Land Conservancy of McHenry County welcomes volunteers to help take care of local natural areas at three events, including one today.

No experience is necessary.

• ABATEMENT Continued from page B1 the district had the reserves, and teachers and parents, who still were operating under the mindset of 2004 when the district was $1.5 million in debt.

The board has been working to bring back some of the programs cut during that period. Some of the concerns voiced by parents during meetings and online, including the foreign language program and the mobile classrooms, also are on the agenda for tonight’s meeting.

The Buildings and Grounds Committee also has been working on putting together a list of priorities and costs, which is available at the district’s website in the BoardBook, a collection of documents connected to the board’s meetings.

Some parents and board members want to see a more comprehensive plan before

an abatement is approved.

“Once you give the money away, it’s gone,” Bis said.

“You will have to get it back somehow if you need it, and they’ll have to ask the taxpayers.”

An abatement of $800,000 means the owner of a $200,000 home would save an estimated $144, according to a board document that shows a range of abatement possibilities and what that would mean for taxpayers. An abatement of $3 million would translate to $538 in savings for the same homeowner.

There are many fast animals in the world. One animal is called the Leatherback turtle and it moves at nearly 22 miles per hour in the water, making it the fastest reptile in the world. Their flippers can grow up to nine feet long. That’s why Leatherbacks have large flippers—to provide a lot of power when moving through the water.

Leatherback turtles are becoming less common in the wild, because it is thought they are ingesting plastic bags that are polluting the water. This is why I want to help the turtles because I feel they are dying in their habitat due to pollution and careless humans.

Not as fast as the cheetah for sure, but it is pretty fast among the bird kingdom. It can fly upside down, sideways and even twist in the air.

Its wings flap so fast that you can barely see them. There are 356 types of colorful hummingbirds. I have a lot buzzing around my house in the spring. My favorite is the ruby-throated hummingbird. I can watch them for hours.

Sydney, 2nd grade A Peregrine Falcon can reach 202 mph while hunting. They spot their prey and then dive on it at this very fast rate. Their prey have very little chance of being able to escape. Because the Peregrine Falcon can fly so fast, it is the fastest animal of all.

Angela, 3rd grade

Please include your school and grade.

A cheetah can reach 60 miles per hour in about three seconds and so it is the fastest land animal.It has large nostrils which help it to breathe and take in oxygen and its claws help it to grip the ground and it uses its tail like a rudder for changing direction. I wouldn’t like to startle a cheetah because it would be a lot faster than me.

Derrick, 5th grade There are machines that look like a cross between a rocket and a car and they drive to break the land speed record. They have to try to break the record on flat deserts because it takes a long time to get up the speed and sometimes they crash. The fastest car is the Thrust SSC which reached a speed of 771 miles per hour and actually broke the sound barrier in 1997. One of the problems with really fast cars like these is that the tires and the wheels break apart at high speeds and that causes the crashes.

Huntley girls basketball coach Steve raethz shouts instructions to his team thursday during the Class 4A rockford East Sectional championship game against Streamwood. Huntley will play rolling Meadows on Friday in the state semifinals at redbird Area in Normal.

A PASSION FOR BASKETBALL Huntley’s Raethz has had lifelong devotion to game

by MEGHAN MoNtEMurro mmontemurro@shawmedia.com To find the foundation of Steve Raethz’s dedication and love of basketball, all it takes is a 40-minute drive from Huntley to a gymnasium he called home 20 years ago.

There, at Hoffman Estates

High School, Raethz’s passion was on display for four years before continuing his basketball at St. Nortbert College in De Pere, Wis., where he was a three-year starter and two-year captain. Motivated and eager to stick with the game and educate on and off the basketball court, Raethz transitioned from player to coach – a journey

that brought him to Huntley.

“I absolutely love coming to practice every day and working with our players, working with our team and doing whatever it takes to help us get better,” Raethz said. “That’s the preparation aspect of things. I love the competitive aspect of the game and seeing the results of our hard work when

we get into games.”

Fourteen years later, Raethz has led the Huntley girls basketball program to its first state semifinal appearance. Raethz and the Red Raiders have weathered some tough moments during his tenure, including a 2-23 record his first

Chicago Soul soccer player tijani Ayegbusi was suspended for the rest of the season by the MiSl after he went into the stands to pursue a fan who had been taunting him.

Racist taunts too much Tijani Ayegbusi tried his best to tune out the obnoxious fan with the loud voice.

For two-plus hours, Ayegbusi said, the fan had badgered him and some of his teammates on the Chicago Soul, an indoor soccer team that plays at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates.

It was annoying but tolerable.

Toward the end of the game, however, the tone took an ugly turn.

The fan aimed his venom toward Ayegbusi, a 30-year-old native of Lagos, Nigeria, and one of two black players on the team. Ayegbusi heard the fan call out to him by his name.

ViEWS Tom Musick “When he yelled my name, I didn’t even look at him,” Ayegbusi said during a recent phone interview from his home in Chicago. “But what made me look at him when I heard him calling me names – racial names. I looked, like, does he really mean that? What is he saying?

“He called me a monkey.”

Huntley senior guard Amanda Kaniewski’s thoughts were consumed with one thing after qualifying for the IHSA Class 4A Three-Point Showdown.

“I knew I was going, but the one thing I wanted most was for my team to be with me,” Kaniewski said. “I didn’t want to shoot and go home.”

That will not be a problem now. The Red Raiders defeated Wheaton Warrenville South, 47-43, in the Dundee-Crown Supersectional on Monday night to earn their first trip to the state tournament. Huntley (26-6) will meet Rolling Meadows (29-3) at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Illinois State University’s Redbird Arena in a state semifinal game.

Kaniewski, Johnsburg’s Kallie DiTusa and Marengo’s Taylor Carlson, both in Class 3A, will shoot in the Three-Point Showdown, which starts at 5 p.m. Thursday with 32 competitors in each class. The final four in each class will advance to Friday’s finals at 1:45 p.m. (for 3A) and 8 p.m. (4A).

“I surprised myself and a lot of people,” said Kaniewski, who usually is Huntley’s first girl off

PrEP ZoNE Joe Stevenson the bench and has 13 3s for the season. “I don’t score that much, but I can shoot, too. I didn’t think I’d make it to sectional with all the good shooters we have on our team. In the sectional, I just thought, ‘Whatever happens, happens.”

Kaniewski survived a tough sectional final with nine in the first round, then shoot-out rounds of three and two in overtime to qualify.

Carlson and DiTusa also were surprise qualifiers. Carlson made two 3s this season, and DiTusa made one.

“I kind of always knew I had a good shot, I just didn’t shoot a lot during the season,” Carlson said. “I found there were better opportunities for my teammates.”

Carlson, a junior, is no stranger to state competition.

She was a catcher on Marengo’s

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Gophers topple Hoosiers

Philadelphia at Bulls, 7 p.m. Thursday, TNT, AM-1000

CHICAGO – Dion Waiters scored 25 points to help make up for the absence of Kyrie Irving, and the Cleveland Cavaliers snapped an 11-game losing streak against the Bulls with a 101-98 victory Tuesday night.

While Irving rested a sore right knee in street clothes on the sideline, Waiters converted a fadeaway jumper and a layup before Tyler Zeller drove along the baseline for a layup that helped Cleveland open an 87-78 lead with 7:33 left in the game.

The Bulls were down two when they got the ball back with 37.8 seconds left, but Luol

Deng missed a long jumper and Shaun Livingston hit two free throws to make it 100-96.

Livingston, starting in place of Irving, finished with 15 points as improving Cleveland held on for its third win in the last four game.

Carlos Boozer scored 27 points and Deng had 26 for the Bulls, who have dropped five of

MISL: ‘We need to set example’

MINNEAPOLIS – Trevor Mbakwe had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help Minnesota take down No. 1 Indiana, 77-73, on Tuesday night, the seventh time the top-ranked team in The Associated Press’ poll has lost this season.

Andre Hollins added 16 points for the Gophers (19-9, 7-8 Big Ten), who outrebounded Cody Zeller and the Hoosiers 4430 and solidified their slipping NCAA tournament case.

Zeller was held to nine points with four turnovers for the Hoosiers (24-4, 12-3), who have held the No. 1 ranking for 10 of 17 polls this season including the past four.

William Sadowski, 47, of Robinson Township, pleaded guilty in November to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids and human growth hormones, or HGH, and was sentenced Tuesday by Senior U.S. District Judge Maurice Cohill Jr. Sadowski has acknowledged helping Dr. Richard Rydze illegally distribute the body-building substances and other drugs used to prevent their negative side effects or, at least, mask their use.

the entire league that we will not condone anything remotely associated with this.”

Other leagues also have come down hard on players entering the stands.

The most notable example came in 2004, when thenIndiana Pacers forward Ron Artest entered the stands during a road game against the Detroit Pistons. That set off an ugly, dangerous melee between fans and players in the stands and prompted a season-long suspension for Artest as well as several other lengthy suspensions.

Thankfully, last week’s incident did not escalate to violence.

Ayegbusi said he could have understood a one-game suspension for his actions.

But the remainder of the season?

“It was too severe,” Ayegbusi said. “That wasn’t fair.

“Because whoever it is should put themselves in my own shoes. What would you do if somebody comes right in front of you at your home, right at your doorstep, and called you names and spit towards you? What would you do? What would you do?”

The memory is fresh, and it hurts.

Ayegbusi raised his voice in anger as he described the fan’s behavior. He spoke softly as he described what it was like to be the target of racism. He insisted that no players on the Soul antagonized the fan during the game.

Ultimately, the personal insults caused the greatest pain. But Ayegbusi also will be hurt professionally – the Soul are competing for a playoff spot in their inaugural season – as well as financially – he estimates his lost wages could come close

Former Bulls star Dennis Rodman arrives Tuesday at Pyongyang Airport in North Korea.

DENNIS RODMAN IN NORTH KOREA

‘Worm’ turns into diplomat

By JEAN H. LEE The Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea – Former NBA star Dennis Rodman brought his basketball skills and flamboyant style – tattoos, nose studs and all – to the country with possibly the world’s strictest dress code: North Korea.

Arriving in Pyongyang, the American athlete and showman known as “The Worm” became an unlikely ambassador for sports diplomacy at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. Or maybe not so unlikely: Young leader Kim Jong Un is said to have been a fan of the Bulls in the 1990s, when Rodman won three championships with the club.

Rodman is joining three members of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team and a VICE magazine correspondent for a news show on North Korea that will air on HBO later this year, VICE producers told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview before they landed.

“It’s my first time, I think it’s most of these guys’ first time here, so hopefully everything’s going to be OK, and hoping the kids have a good

time for the game,” Rodman told reporters after arriving Tuesday in North Korea.

Rodman and VICE’s producers said the Americans hope to engage in a little “basketball diplomacy” by running a basketball camp for children and playing with North Korea’s top basketball stars.

“Is sending the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman to the DPRK strange?

In a word, yes,” said Shane Smith, the VICE founder who is host of the upcoming series, referring to North Korea by the initials of its formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

“But finding common ground on the basketball court is a beautiful thing.”

The notoriously unpredictable and irrepressible Rodman might seem an odd fit for regimented North Korea, where men’s fashion rarely ventures beyond military khaki and where growing facial hair is forbidden.

Shown a photo of a snarling Rodman, piercings dangling from his lower lip and two massive tattoos emblazoned on his chest, one North Korean in Pyongyang recoiled and said: “He looks like a monster!”

AUT UT

When Ayegbusi looked over, he said, the fan spit in his direction. He repeated the slur.

“Then, I knew he meant business,” said Ayegbusi, who described the fan as a white man who looked to be in his 20s. “He was sure of what he was doing.”

Ayegbusi gave chase, leaping over the boards and chasing the fan up the stairs at the end of the Soul’s Feb. 18 game against the Milwaukee Wave. He chased the fan into the concourse before a teammate caught up to him to intervene, and the fan ran down another set of stairs.

“When he saw me coming – because he knew what he did – then he started running,” Ayegbusi said. “By the time I got upstairs, one of my teammates, Carlos Munoz, saw me going [into the stands] and he came after me, just to come and grab me like, ‘T.J., just let it go.’ ” One day later, the Major Indoor Soccer League suspended Ayegbusi for the remainder of the season, including the playoffs, for entering the stands to engage in a dispute. The league suspended Munoz for one game for following Ayegbusi into the stands.

The penalty was harsh but necessary, MISL senior director Chris Economides said Tuesday.

“We need to set an example here,” said Economides, who sent a memo to each of the league’s teams after the incident. “I don’t care what happened. You don’t go into the stands.

“We want to send a very clear message to the player, to the organization, and to

“I felt terrible about it,” Ayegbusi said. “I felt unworthy. For somebody to call me that kind of name … from what I know in this country, you can’t speak at somebody [like that].”

No, you can’t. It’s unfathomable and inexcusable that some people still do.

Ayegbusi regrets what he did, but only because his actions and subsequent suspension hurt his team. He had a goal, three assists and 12 blocked shots in 16 games this season.

The Soul invited Ayegbusi to travel with the team to Kansas City for their most recent road game. Ayegbusi was grateful for the offer, but he declined.

“I just wanted to stay back home,” Ayegbusi said, “to take a break from the game right now.”

He expects the break to be only temporary. Last week’s incident might have ruined his season, but Ayegbusi said it would not spoil his career.

Ayegbusi hopes to return to the Soul next season.

“Soccer has taken me to so many places,” Ayegbusi said. “I’m not going to stop because of that boy.”

Huntley’s 26 wins a program best • RAETHZ Continued from page C1 season as varsity head coach in 2000. But it’s undeniable the Red Raiders, winners of five straight games, have been inspired and focused during their playoff run, and many Huntley players credited Raethz for their success.

Few underMarty stand Raethz Manning in basketball and life as well as Huntley varsity boys basketball coach Marty Manning. Manning, a sophomore when Raethz was a senior at Hoffman Estates, saw an intensity and devotion within Raethz he still sees today whenever his friend roams the sideline. However, Raethz’s will and preparation to win, Manning said, is what sets him apart, a dedication dating to his high school days.

“We were probably the two biggest gym rats in Hoffman Estates High School history,” Manning said. “We were always shooting or playing one-on-one against each other in the summers.

We never played on the same [high school] team, but during summer camps we’d always stay after and shoot, work on our ball handling.”

Raethz’s record Steve Raethz’s coaching career at Huntley: Season 1999-00 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 Totals

The Red Raiders’ 26 wins this season are a program best, but Raethz, who owns a 219-183 record at Huntley, deflected all the credit to his players.

“I never would have saw him as a girls basketball coach,” Manning said. “I think he just found a great little niche when he got to Huntley, and that girls job was open, and he took it and ran with it.”

The Hoffman EstatesHuntley coaching connection runs deeper than the bond between Raethz and Manning.

Their varsity coach at Hoffman Estates, Bill Wandro, is an assistant on Manning’s

staff at Huntley. Wandro, 57, retired two years ago but agreed to join Manning. It has afforded Wandro an opportunity to watch Raethz’s work up close. He was in the stands Monday at DundeeCrown during Huntley’s 47-43 supersectional win against Wheaton Warrenville South and walked away impressed.

“He really loves the game, as he did back then, and as a result he puts a lot of hard work into it, which is what he did in high school,” Wandro said. “He always had all the right traits for being a leader, and that’s kind of what a coach does.”

It should surprise no one that Raethz, besides being an excellent shooter who knocked down nearly every shot at the elbow on the top of the key, loved to play defense. It’s reflected in his coaching style. Huntley’s defensive effort, particularly in the playoffs, has fueled the Red Raiders’ success, and it will be called on again when they take the court against Rolling Meadows at 6:30 p.m.

Friday at Redbird Arena in Normal.

“He was just the most intense guy, and you can see that in how he coaches too,” Wandro said. “ … He’s a very competitive guy. He wants to win every game. He doesn’t take losing very easily so I know he’s feeling pretty happy right now.”

The winter storm that dumped heavy snow in the area wiped out all boys basketball regional playoff games Tuesday night.

All games involving local teams were postponed until today. Some tournaments had two games scheduled, while some had one. Those having one Tuesday game moved it back today and will play games at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Most schools made the decision early in the afternoon to postpone regional games for a day.

The Class 3A Woodstock North Regional will have Marian Central face Woodstock at 6 p.m. today, followed by the host Thunder and Marengo.

The Class 3A Burlington

Central Regional will have Hampshire playing Burl-

ington Central at 6 p.m. and Sycamore meeting Rochelle in the second game.

Also in Class 3A, Johnsburg plays Carmel in the Ridgewood Regional and Richmond-Burton plays Chicago Uplift in the Chicago Senn Regional.

In the Class 4A Jacobs Regional, Crystal Lake Central meets Crystal Lake South at 6 p.m. and Dundee-Crown faces Jacobs in the second game.

In the Class 4A Rockford East Regional, Jefferson and DeKalb play at 6, followed by Rockford East and Huntley.

Huntley athletic director Michelle Jakubowski said parking will be at a premium, so fans may want to leave early if possible. The size of the gym and parking lot at East is likely why the games originally were scheduled for different nights.

WHITE SOX 14, RANGERS 8

Darvish good, but Sox win

By STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. – Yu Darvish is more at ease in his second spring with the Texas Rangers, and he still is throwing hard.

The Japanese ace, who won 16 games last season as a major league rookie, struck out two while retiring all six White Sox he faced in his first spring start. The Sox then scored 11 runs over the next two innings on the way to a 14-8 victory Tuesday.

“His velocity was up, his stuff was just better,” said new Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who faced his former team while catching Darvish. “He threw the ball really well and it was very encouraging to see.

We talked in the bullpen and talked before the game about what he wanted to accomplish, and he accomplished everything that he wanted to and needed to.”

Pierzynski, who spent the past eight seasons with the Sox before signing a one-year deal with Texas, had worked with the 26-year-old Darvish during an intrasquad game last week and in bullpen sessions.

Nestor Molina and Brian Omogrosso, the first two Sox pitchers, both had two shutout innings. Omogrosso is in the mix for a possible spot in the

Texas Rangers starter Yu Darvish pitches to the White Sox’s Gordon Beckham on Tuesday in a spring training game in Surprise, Ariz. bullpen.

The Sox scored six runs in the third off 20-year-old Cody Buckel. The right-hander, the top minor league pitcher in the Rangers’ organization last year, walked five of the seven batters he faced.

Evan Meek, in Rangers camp on a minor league contract, allowed five runs and five hits and got only two outs in the fourth.

Buckel was also hurt by an error when a liner ricocheted off the glove of third baseman Mike Olt, who later hit a tworun homer.

After throwing two balls to start the game, Darvish threw two strikes before getting leadoff hitter Dewayne Wise on a foul popout to Olt. Gordon

Beckham then struck out.

“He looked good, same old stuff. He’s got good stuff, throwing hard it looked like,” Beckham said. “Threw me a couple of fastballs and a slider that struck me out.”

Darvish went to three balls on two batters. On a full count, Adam Dunn struck out on a checked swing called strike to start the second before Seth Loman flew out on a 3-0 pitch, the last of 28 pitches Darvish threw – with his fastballs hitting the mid-90s.

Notes: Josh Phegley homered for the Sox in the eighth inning. ... The Sox had a 12-0 lead before Texas scored five times in the fifth on three hits, including Olt’s first spring homer, and an error.

Edwin Jackson pitched two shutout innings Tuesday in his spring training debut with the Cubs against the Colorado Rockies in Mesa, Ariz.

CUBS 4, ROCKIES 2

Jackson starts strong Pitcher throws 2 shutout innings in Cubs debut The ASSOCIATED PRESS MESA, Ariz. – Edwin Jackson got off to a neat, clean start with the Cubs.

Signed as a free agent to a four-year deal worth $52 million, Jackson pitched two scoreless innings Tuesday in his first spring outing as the Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies, 4-2.

“Today’s just pretty much an evaluation day for me,” he said, “to see where I am with things.”

The 29-year-old righty has a multiyear contract for the first time in a major league career that began in 2003. He previously pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay, Arizona, the White Sox, St. Louis and Washington.

Jackson, who pitched a nohitter for Tampa Bay in 2010 and won a World Series title with the Cardinals in 2011, was 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA last year with the NL East champion Nationals.

Jackson gave up a pair of two-out singles in the first inning but retired his final four batters.

“It definitely feels good when you know you have some stability on a team,” Jackson said. “But at the same time,

“He’s got that personality and work ethic and professionalism. And teammates like him already.”

Dale Sveum Cubs manager, on Edwin Jackson you can’t get too complacent to where you let it get you to relax. You still have to have some kind of edge about you when you take the field.”

Off the field, Jackson’s easy demeanor has made him a quick fit with new teammates.

“He’s been great,” manager Dale Sveum said. “He’s got that personality and work ethic and professionalism. And teammates like him already.”

Jackson said he’s learned to get comfortable anywhere.

“It’s not my first rodeo. I’ve been around the game. I’ve been fortunate enough to join loose clubhouses, and this is definitely one of those clubhouses where everybody’s having fun but taking care of business at the same time,” said Jackson, who’s penciled into a top three of the Cubs’ rotation that also includes Jeff Samardzija and Matt Garza.

“It definitely makes it easier for you to come in and get acclimated with everything that’s going on.”

Cubs outfielder Dave Sappelt, in the running for a backup job, homered leading off the sixth. He also singled.

Christian Villanueva added a home run for the Cubs.

Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin retired all six batters he faced. He struck out one.

Chacin was bothered by a bruised left foot that required the trainer to stop play and check on him during the second inning. He was able to finish his scheduled two innings without further issue.

“It’s going to be fine. It’s no big deal,” said Chacin, who hurt the toe during pitchers fielding practice Friday. “I just need to keep icing.”

Chacin said again Tuesday the problem with his toe won’t prevent him from joining Team Venezuela for the World Baseball Classic next month.

He and Rockies teammates Carlos Gonzalez and Roberto Hernandez plan to leave Sunday to join the Venezuelan team for workouts in Jupiter, Fla., before continuing to Puerto Rico for pool play.

MIAMI MARLINS

Testy Loria stands by moves

By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press JUPITER, Fla. – A cluster of news media members stood outside the Miami Marlins clubhouse, awaiting the arrival of owner Jeffrey Loria, when outfielder Bryan Petersen walked past.

“Somebody getting married?” Petersen asked.

It was more like somebody trying to salvage a relationship. Loria’s three-day public relations campaign to patch things up with angry fans brought him to spring training Tuesday for an interview session that included several testy exchanges before the owner cut it short.

Loria reiterated many of his previous comments regarding the 2012 payroll purge, saying it wasn’t about money but about improving the farm system. Ten minutes into the news conference, he bristled when asked why fans should believe him.

“You’ve said that question in four different ways,” Loria said. “My response to you is we have put together some championship-caliber players. We’re going to field an excellent team in the next two or three years that you’re going to be proud of.”

Fans are upset that after only one season of big spending in a new ballpark built mostly with tax money, the Marlins have reverted to their tight budgets of the

Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria reacts Tuesday during a news conference outside the team’s spring training facility in Jupiter, Fla. past. Loria was asked about trying to change the impression the ballpark project was “a con job.”

“A con job? I’m not even going to answer that,” Loria said.

Many project the Marlins to lose 100 games only a year after they were the talk of baseball and touted as playoff contenders. This year’s payroll is expected to be less than $45 million, compared with $90 million in 2012.

Loria denied he reneged on any promise, noting the Marlins finished last in the NL East with their biggest payroll ever.

“I fulfilled my promise in the new ballpark last year,” he said. “It didn’t work. So what do you do? Go back again and lose more games?

We needed to do something to

beef up the organization.”

A blockbuster trade in November sent to Toronto three of the Marlins’ highestpaid players – shortstop Jose Reyes and pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson.

In exchange Miami acquired mostly prospects.

“We have some very exciting young players here,” Loria said. “We need to bring them along and develop our own stars, or else we’re going to be a last-place team forever.”

As he stepped away from the TV cameras after 15 minutes, a PR aide said the owner would take more questions.

Instead, Loria disappeared through a clubhouse door and didn’t return.

At some point the team’s play will have to speak for itself.

Nats vs. Braves has all the makings of lasting rivalry

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman were walking back to the Atlanta clubhouse, having finished a stint in the batting cages on a rainy morning, when they spotted Bryce Harper sitting at the end of the Washington dugout.

They went over to shake hands and chat for a few minutes, their first chance to catch up with the Nationals young star this season.

It won’t be the last time they meet.

This has all the makings of a great baseball rivalry: two youthful teams in the same division, both poised for long-term success but likely to be in each other’s way.

“Youdefinitelyknowwhat’sacross the table,” said Uggla, the Braves’ second baseman, before the teams met in a spring training game Tuesday.

Last year, they battled all season for the NL East title, the Nationals leading most of the way with the Braves in hot pursuit. Washington finished with a league-leading 98 wins – four games ahead of Atlanta, although both made the playoffs.

After each lost to St. Louis in the postseason (the Braves in a disputed

The Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper watches his double along with Atlanta Braves catcher Christian Bethancourt during the third inning of a spring training game Tuesday in Kissimmee, Fla. The Braves won, 9-5. one-game playoff, the Nationals in a bitter division series), they began making moves with an eye on a longer October run, ever mindful of what their division rival was up to.

The Braves signed B.J. Upton and traded for his younger brother, Justin, to give their offense a much needed boost from the right side of

the plate. The Nationals traded for a true leadoff hitter, Denard Span, and signed closer Rafael Soriano, adding to a team that already includes two of baseball’s brightest young players, Harper and pitcher Stephen Strasburg.

“You’ve got to prepare,” Uggla said. “If they make a move, you’ve

constantly got to do what it takes to be competitive. I feel like we did that this year.”

Davey Johnson also is impressed with Atlanta’s offseason moves, believing the Braves addressed their major weakness from the past few seasons – a lineup that was heavy on lefties.

That said, the Washington manager made it clear what his team’s mindset will be.

World Series or bust.

“We’ve already won a (division) pennant. We’ve been in the postseason,” Johnson said. “With that experience and the talent level that’s here, our goals should be higher. There’s no sense romancing anybody and telling you, ‘Geez, we’d be lucky to win our division, we’d be lucky to go far in the playoffs.’ ... But I don’t think I’m telling these players anything they don’t believe themselves.”

While having two wild cards in each league has taken some of the luster off division races, the Braves found out how important it is to finish first – especially with a one-game opening round.

The Braves had home-field advantage against the Cardinals, but shoddy defense and a much-debated infield

fly call sent Atlanta to a 6-3 loss.

Just like that, the season was over.

Washington’s year was stretched out a little longer, but the ending was even more painful. In the decisive Game 5 against the Cardinals, the Nationals jumped out to a 6-0 lead through three innings and still were up 7-5 heading to the ninth. Drew Storen was within one out of closing out the series, but a pair of two-out, tworun singles gave St. Louis a stunning 9-7 win.

Not surprisingly, one of the moves Washington made in the offseason was signing Soriano, who had 42 saves for the New York Yankees filling in for the injured Mariano Duncan. The Nationals plan to use their new addition in the ninth inning, with former closers Storen and Tyler Clippard handling duties in the seventh and eighth.

The acquisition of Span provides a true leadoff hitter, which was lacking in 2012. Finally, the Nationals filled a hole in their rotation by picking up Dan Haren, who battled injuries but still won 12 games with the Angels, adding a veteran presence to a young rotation that includes 20-game winner Gio Gonzalez.

Bubba, a palm tree and a ring

THURSDAY PHILADELPHIA 7 p.m.

TNT AM-1000

ON THE FRINGE Doug Ferguson MARANA, Ariz. – The artistic, majestic wedge out of the trees and onto the 10th green at Augusta National. The tearful celebration.

Slipping into that beautiful green jacket for the first time in Butler Cabin. The trophy presentation.

Bubba Watson finally had a chance to catch his breath when he sat down for dinner to honor the latest Masters champion.

And that’s when it hit him.

“We’re all upstairs at the dinner and he said, ‘Dude, do you realize what this means?’” caddie Ted Scott recalled.

Paul Tesori “And we’re thinking, ‘Yeah, Bubba.

You’re the Masters champion. This is a pretty big deal.’ He stops dead in his tracks and he says, ‘I’ve got to buy Paul that ring.’ “ Paul Tesori, the caddie for Webb Simpson, was listening to the playoff on the radio while driving home to Florida when Watson made his incredible escape and beat Louis Oosthuizen with a par. Tesori smiled when he thought about the ring and wondered if Watson even remembered his promise.

Leave it to Watson to have instant recall of such an insignificant moment compared with the magnitude of winning the Masters.

There are 350 varieties of more than 80,000 plants at Augusta National, but only one palm tree on the golf course. It now takes on new meaning for Watson, a reminder of how he ruined a caddie’s bet with his wife over a wedding ring and made up for it by winning a green jacket.

It all started when Simpson had an extra ticket for the practice round that he gave to Tesori’s wife, Michelle. Tesori was so excited about her first trip to the Masters that, as they drove to Augusta and he raved about the beauty of the golf course, he served up a challenge.

“I said, ‘Honey, one of the cool things is that there’s one palm tree on the property and half the players don’t even know where it is. If you can find the palm tree, anything you want is yours,’” Tesori said.

She had been asking about a diamond ring that cost $10,000 and would complete her wedding band.

Tesori figured he would buy it whenever Simpson won his next golf tournament, but he got caught up in the moment and offered that as the reward.

They played nine holes that Wednesday with the regular group – Watson, Simpson and Rickie Fowler. Jason Day joined them on the first tree, but his wrist was a little sore and so the Australian left them after three holes.

The lone palm at Augusta is

was the first to come to the rescue.

“I said, ‘Hey, you lost. You better go down there and hug it,’” Watson said he told Tesori, meaning the tree. “He was mad. He said, ‘Why would you do that?’ So I told him, ‘Hey, if I win this week, I’ll buy it.’

Webb said he’d do it and Rickie said he’d do it, too. And then we totally forgot about it.”

Tesori was thrilled for Watson when the Masters ended that night – and so was his wife.

“She said I should send him a text,” Tesori said. “I said, no, I don’t want to do that. He’s not going to remember, and I would never even bring it up. I’m rooting for Bubba because he’s a friend of mine.”

The next morning, he received a direct message on Twitter from Scott, who was with Watson during the hours after his Masters win. He told him about Watson’s reaction that Sunday night when he remembered the ring.

“The look on Bubba’s face was about the same look as Paul’s face when she saw the tree,” Scott said.

Watson never thought twice about his end of the bargain.

“If someone said you had to pay $10,000 to win the Masters? Shoot, everybody would do that,” he said.

Even better, when Michelle Tesori went to the jewelry store and told the story, the owner knocked 25 percent off the price.

It’s just a coincidence, but in the months after that practice round, Watson had a green jacket, Fowler won his first PGA Tour event at Quail Hollow, and Simpson followed with his first major championship at the U.S. Open. Too bad Day, the other player in their group, left early.

“It was a cool experience,” Fowler said. “For the three of us, we have that memory to look back on with that ring, because all three of us ended up having a pretty good year. That ring symbolizes something.”

Charl Schwartzel helps Bubba Watson put on the green jacket April 8 after win- TV/Radio ning the Masters in Augusta, Ga. There’s one palm tree at Augusta National, and NBA BASKETBALL it takes on new meaning for Watson.

7 p.m.: Golden State at New York, ESPN tucked away to the right of the green on the par-3 fourth hole. This was the big moment.

And that’s when Tesori made his first big mistake.

“Paul was talking to Bubba about it and I’m thinking to myself, ‘This is not a good idea,’” Simpson said.

Sure enough, Watson had no clue about the only palm at Augusta National. And when he heard the deal Tesori had with his wife, Watson couldn’t help himself.

“My best recollection is Bubba being his normal self and throwing Paul under the bus,” Fowler said.

“There are certain secrets Bubba can keep if they need to be kept secret. But if it’s something along the lines of a bet, and nothing that can hurt you too bad – like a $10,000 ring – that’s out the door.”

Watson found the palm and began making a scene, his voice getting louder as he pointed to the tree.

Tesori urged him to keep it down, which only egged on Watson, who continued to raise his voice and point to the palm. Tesori’s only hope was that his wife was far enough back in the crowd and couldn’t see – or hear – what Watson was doing. But when the caddie reached the green and looked to the left, he was doomed.

“I found my wife in the crowd,” he said. “She’s got her arms up in the air in a V formation, jumping up and down. And Bubba thinks it’s the greatest thing in the world.”

Tesori felt otherwise.

“His face ... he looked like he was in shock,” Scott, the caddie, said.

In some respects, it was like the Old Testament story of Samson offering to buy linen garments and a set of clothes for his 30 wedding guests if they could solve his riddle.

The guests pressured his wife to get the answer, and they solved it on the last night of the wedding feast.

Samson was so angry he killed 30 men and took their garments to pay off the bet.

This was just a ring.

Injured fans consider lawsuit

By KYLE HIGHTOWER The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. – The attorney for three NASCAR fans injured last weekend during a race the day before the Daytona 500 said they are exploring a possible lawsuit, but some experts say they could face tough obstacles in winning damages.

Matt Morgan, the Orlandobased lawyer for the fans, said at a news conference Tuesday than any suit would focus on the safety fence used along the track at Daytona International Speedway. He said he hopes to reach a settlement with NASCAR to avoid a lawsuit.

More than 30 people were injured Saturday after a horrific wreck in a second-tier NASCAR series race sent chunks of debris, including a heavy tire, into the stands. Morgan declined to provide the identities of his clients, but said two of them were seated directly

in front of the crash and suffered injuries ranging from a fractured fibula to abdominal swelling. All have been released from the hospital.

Some experts say there could be grounds for a lawsuit, and that courts have looked past liability waivers written on the backs of sporting event tickets.

Others maintain the ticket is a legal contract that could be hard to overcome in court.

“Ultimately, I believe it would be gross negligence,” Morgan said. “We all know that when you go to a race you assume a certain amount of risk.

But what people don’t assume is that a race car will come flying into the stands. ... That’s why they make the fences.”

Asked to comment on the fans’ retention of a law firm, NASCAR spokesman David Higdon wrote in a statement, “We are unaware of any lawsuits filed.”

Daytona International

Speedway is owned by International Speedway Corp., a NASCAR sister company. Spokesman Andrew Booth said, “As per company policy, we do not comment on pending litigation.”

Donnalynn Darling, a New York-based attorney who has been practicing personal injury law for 30 years, said there is a theory that a spectator who buys tickets to a sporting event assumes the risk of objects coming out of the field of play, such as a foul ball at a baseball game.

But she said there is also a foreseeable risk question promoters of events also accept.

“Did the sporting event promoter take action to prevent that specific risk?” Darling asked. “In terms of this fence ... it was put up to prevent people from being hurt. You have people who were not only injured by falling debris, but by the failure of the fence.”

ROAST Coffee perks up flavor of pork tenderloin

By J.M. HIRSCH • The Associated Press

C

offee has become my new favorite ingredient when roasting meat.

It’s an effortless way to add gobs of flavor to whatever I am making. All I do is add whole coffee beans to whatever spice blend I am using as a wet or dry rub, then grind it to a powder and apply to the meat. The coffee provides deep, rich flavors with just a hint of acid. It’s a combination that works wonders for

roasted meat.

I’ve tried the spice-coffee combination called for below on both beef and pork tenderloins; both were fantastic. You also could use it on chicken breasts or thighs for a “blackened” chicken.

An electric spice grinder (or coffee grinder) is the easiest way to make the spice rub for this recipe. If you don’t have one, substitute an equal amount of ground coffee for the beans, then use a mortar and pestle or food processor to grind everything together.

The seasonings can be applied to the meat right before roasting. But if you have a little extra time, the flavor is even better if you rub the spices on the meat, then refrigerate it for several hours before roasting.

And if you’d rather use these flavors in a wet rub, don’t hesitate to add a little olive or canola oil to the blend.

Try a healthier (and vegan) twist on stuffed peppers

By ELAINE GORDON The Washington Post With their vibrant color and unusual shape, stuffed peppers can provide a stunning presentation for your main course. This recipe is completely gluten-free and vegan, with protein-rich quinoa and a vegan pesto sauce drizzled on top for a flavor boost.

Bell peppers range in color and flavor based on how ripe they are. A red bell pepper is riper and therefore sweeter and milder than a green bell pepper.

Red peppers contain 11 times more beta carotene and four times more vitamin C than green bell peppers. Red bell peppers also contain an important phytochemical, lycopene, which could benefit prostate and heart health, according to the Produce for Better Health Foundation.

Select bell peppers that are brightly colored and firm with tight skin. You can store bell peppers for up to five days in a plastic bag in your refrigerator.

Quinoa is considered an ancient whole grain, but it’s actually a seed.

Quinoa is a good source of fiber with 5 grams of fiber per serving. Fiber keeps you fuller longer and aids in digestion and overall heart health.

In addition to containing more protein than many grains, this powerful seed also contains more nutrients, including important minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, copper, zinc and iron.

Most stuffed pepper recipes are heavy on cheese. This one gets its heartiness from diced vegetables and a zesty pesto sauce. Be sure to select bell peppers that have a semi-flat bottom and can stand fairly upright on their own.

Quinoa-Stuffed Peppers Serves 4 For the stuffed peppers: 4 bell peppers, any color or a combination of colors 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup diced shallot, from 2 to 3 large shallots 1/2 cup diced zucchini, from 1 small zucchini 1 cup quinoa, rinsed 2 cups vegetable broth, plus more for the baking dish 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Washington Post photo

For the pesto: 2 cups basil leaves, rinsed and dried 2 tablespoons pine nuts 2 to 4 medium cloves garlic 2 tablespoons walnuts 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the 4 peppers with nonstick cooking oil spray.

Slice off the stem and a thin portion of the top of each bell pepper.

Scoop out and discard the ribs and seeds. Discard the stems, and cut the remaining pepper tops into fine dice.

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the shallot, diced pepper tops and zucchini; stir to combine.

Add the quinoa and stir for about 2 minutes or until the quinoa is lightly toasted. Add the broth, bring it to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to low or medium low and cook, adjusting the heat so that the liquid is barely bubbling around the edges and stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the black pepper and stir to combine.

Spoon the filling into the peppers.

Transfer the stuffed peppers to the prepared baking dish and pour a thin layer of broth into the bottom of the dish. Bake for 20 minutes.

While the peppers are baking, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic (to taste) and the walnuts in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube and puree into a smooth sauce.

To serve, drizzle a little of the pesto over each pepper. Pass the remaining pesto at the table.

Almond butter is good on more than just AB&J

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Most of us have plenty of ideas for using whole or chopped almonds. Eat them whole. Bake them into treats.

Scatter them over salads or green beans. But what about almond butter – toasted (and sometimes salted) almonds that have been ground to a peanut butter-like consistency?

If they are willing to try it at all, most people just crank out a few AB&J sandwiches, then lose inspiration and push the jar of almond butter to the back of the refrigerator.

Time to pull it forward because almond butter is easy to use in all sorts of delicious ways across numerous cuisines.

Let’s start with the basics.

Almond butter is what it sounds like – ground almonds, usually with a bit of oil and salt added for texture and taste. It is not the same as almond paste or marzipan, both of which are made from finely ground almonds (but with a fair amount of

sugar added) and used in baking.

The texture of almond butter is similar to peanut butter (they are jarred the same and sold alongside one another at the grocer), but differ in taste. Whereas peanut butter has a pronounced – stay with me here – peanut flavor, almond butter has a richer, creamier taste that is nutty, but (oddly) not distinctly almondy.

Nutritionally, they are similar. Two tablespoons of peanut butter have 188 calories and 16 grams of fat.

Almond butter has 202 calories and 18 grams of fat.

There are numerous brands of almond butter, but it’s easy to make your own. Simply grind whole toasted almonds in the food processor until chunkysmooth. You may need a drizzle of canola oil to get the consistency you want. And consider using smoked or tamari almonds for an extra burst of flavor.

Whether you make it or buy it, almond butter can be substituted 1-for-1 in recipes that call for peanut butter.

This opens up lots of possibilities.

This blend of Mexican mole sauce and pulled pork tenderloin makes for a crazy delicious sandwich. The filling also would be good tossed with warm noodles.

Mole-Style Pulled Pork Buns Start to finish: 45 minutes (25 minutes active) Servings: 4 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 2-inch chunks 1/2 cup smooth almond butter 1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes 3 cloves garlic 1 shallot 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1 cup water Salt 4 sesame seed burger buns 1 scallion, white and green parts, chopped

In a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the pork and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set the pan aside off the heat.

In a blender combine the almond butter, tomatoes, garlic, shallot, cocoa powder, cinnamon, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cloves and water. Puree until smooth, then add to the pork.

Bring the pork and sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a large plate or cutting board, then use 2 forks to pull and shred it. Return the pork to the sauce and stir well.

Season with salt.

Divide the pulled pork between the buns. Top with scallions.

A lighter take on French onion soup, via Italy Everybody loves French onion soup, and with good reason. Caramelized onions swimming in a rich beef broth flavored with a splash of red wine or brandy and topped with broiled Gruyere cheese? Every warm, gooey mouthful lights up your taste buds like a pinball machine.

It’s exactly what you want on a cold winter’s night.

But it is not light. In my quest to slim down this French classic I turned to Italy. I caramelized the onions in olive oil, rather than butter, swapped out the Gruyere in favor of Parmigiano-Reggiano (less fat and bigger flavor, so you can use less of it), and moved the croutons and cheese off the top to make room for a poached egg. Finally, I added some pancetta for flavor, because we have to have at least a little fun.

I took much of my inspiration for this recipe from Cesare Casella, a brilliant Tuscan chef who used to hold court at Beppe, a wonderful restaurant within walking distance of my home in New York years ago, now long gone. I thought Casella’s soup really improved the French original. I especially like the addition of the egg. The yolk makes up for at least some

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton of the richness lost when the Gruyere goes bye-bye.

But unlike Casella, I don’t have home-made beef stock just hanging around my kitchen, so I used chicken broth as the base. Once upon a time I couldn’t find storebought beef broth that made the grade. Now Rachael Ray has come out with a good one.

I recommend it.

If you’d like, you even can get a jump on this recipe by poaching the eggs ahead of time. Just cool them off after you’re done by transferring them with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water. Then store them in the refrigerator on a plate covered with plastic wrap until you’re ready to reheat them. All you need to do is submerge them in a pan of barely simmering water for a minute or two.

Italian-Style Onion Soup Topped With A Poached Egg Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (20 minutes active) Servings: 4

2 ounces chopped pancetta 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 pounds yellow onions, thinlysliced 1 cup red wine 5 cups low-sodium beef or chicken broth Kosher salt 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar 4 large eggs 1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated (about 1/2 cup) Ground black pepper Eight 1/2-inch-thick baguette slices, toasted In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until it is golden. Transfer it to a plate using a slotted spoon.

Return the saucepan to medium heat. Add the olive oil and onions, then cook, covered but stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the cover and cook, stirring frequently, for another 35 to 45 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Add the wine and boil until it is reduced by half. Add the broth and simmer for another 20 minutes.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a low simmer. Add the vinegar.

Crack each egg into a small glass.

One at a time, gently and slowly pour each egg into the simmering water, bringing the lip of the glass right down to the water so that the egg slides in.

Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook them in 2 batches. Cook for 4 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to lift each egg out (letting excess water drip away).

To serve, ladle the soup into 4 bowls. Top each with a poached egg, sprinkle with some of the cheese, some of the pancetta and pepper to taste. Serve each portion with 2 toasts on the side.

Until recently, I was convinced the triumvirate of perfect pizza toppings was tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. Simple. Classic. Delicious.

Then I encountered a maple-bacon-butter pizza and discovered new depths of pizza perfection and appreciation. But first, a disclaimer seems warranted. If this pizza was on a menu, it most certainly would not have one of those happy little heart icons next to it. Digest at your own risk.

I was attending an outdoor festival being catered by a pizza food truck, Mountain Fire Pizza based in Gorham, N.H. Their menu listed the maple-bacon pizza, and it held no appeal to me. My baconloving 8-year-old, however, had other ideas. So we ordered one.

The sauce-free pizza arrived sprinkled with bacon and dripping with butter. It was, simply put, breathtakingly delicious. And I knew I had to re-create it.

Predictably, the Internet abounds with recipes for pizza made with maple-cured bacon. But the pizza I’d had went well beyond that. There clearly was maple syrup or sugar involved, as well as an ample helping of butter to keep things interesting. So I started playing.

In the end, the pizza I created was refreshingly simple.

A basic crust topped first with mozzarella, then cooked

bacon, them more mozzarella, and finally dollops of maple compound butter (made by blending softened butter with granulated maple sugar). It’s as good – and unhealthy – as it sounds.

Maple-Bacon-Butter Pizza Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 3 tablespoons butter, softened 3 tablespoons granulated maple sugar 20-ounce ball prepared pizza dough, room temperature 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese 12 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled 8-ounce ball fresh mozzarella, sliced Heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix together the butter and maple sugar until well blended. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, carefully roll out the pizza dough

to about a 14-inch circle. You may need to use your hands to stretch the dough if rolling alone doesn’t work.

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Top the mozzarella with the bacon, distributing it evenly over the pizza. Arrange the slices of fresh mozzarella over the bacon. Using 2 spoons, scoop and dollop the maple sugar butter evenly over the pizza. The dollops do not need to be spread; they will melt in the oven.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is puffed and browned and the cheese at the center of the pizza is lightly browned. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Man’s online porn addiction robs marriage of its passion Dear Abby: I need help, and I can’t talk to anyone I know, so I’m pouring my heart out to you. My husband is addicted to online porn. Our sex life has suffered massively because of it. He seems uninterested in sex with me.

I had a feeling that it might be something like that or someone else.

My woman’s intuition told me there had to be a reason for him turning to porn, so I checked our computer’s history log and found he has been surfing gay porn. He does watch straight porn, but now peppers it with male-onmale porn, as well.

It has shattered my world.

I don’t know what to think or what to do. I can’t discuss this with my family. They would never view him in the same way again. Help. – J. In

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips www.straightspouse.org.

Dear Abby: I have been in therapy for four years. I like my therapist, who has helped me immensely. However, over the past year, she has become increasingly tardy in keeping her appointment times.

I understand there are sometimes emergencies, but being a half-hour late every week is excessive. I feel it is disrespectful to me. She keeps saying I just don’t understand.

How can I get across to her how frustrated I am? Or do I need to find a new therapist?

Brighton, England Dear J.: Your husband may

be curious, bisexual or have discovered (late) that he is gay. It happens. You need to have a frank conversation with him. Remain calm, stay strong and remember that you, too, are entitled to a sex life. You have nothing to lose by discussing this, and everything to gain.

If you need more help afterward, consider going online and contacting the Straight Spouse Network at

therapist exactly how this is affecting you and ask what HER problem is. She owes you an explanation.

I agree being late for your appointment is disrespectful if it happens regularly. You may need to find another therapist. If that’s the case, be sure to tell her why you are leaving. It takes courage to be assertive, but it will help you in your personal growth.

Dear Abby: Please help

Concern about drinking may indicate a problem Dear Dr. K: I started drinking more during the holidays.

It seemed natural, as there were so many parties and happy hours. But the holidays are long over, and I haven’t cut back. Could I have a problem?

Dear Reader: You ask a difficult question. What constitutes “healthy” versus “harmful” drinking can vary quite a bit from person to person.

So where is the line between social drinking and problem drinking? Does drinking every day or drinking a certain amount indicate a problem?

Here’s the bottom line: If your pattern of drinking creates difficulty for you personally, socially or at work, then your drinking is likely harmful to your health.

Having said that, I’ve known people who drink throughout the day and have liver and other problems because of it. Yet they would tell me drinking wasn’t interfering with their family or work life at all.

Maybe that’s the way it seemed to them, but their drinking was on its way to making them sufficiently sick that it later seriously interfered with their lives.

If you’re not sure if you might have a drinking problem, answer a few questions about your drinking habits.

Several screening tests can help determine whether you might have a drinking problem. (I’ve put two of the tests, the CAGE questionnaire and the AUDIT, on my website.)

Alcohol use occurs along a spectrum. Alcohol dependence is the most severe type of alcohol misuse. It is marked by complete loss of control over drinking behavior. You’re preoccupied with

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff drinking and have a strong desire to drink. You start to tolerate alcohol; you don’t get tipsy as easily. You start to feel a little nervous and shaky several hours after your last drink, and you learn another drink can quiet the shakes.

Alcohol abuse is a milder problem. You don’t have the same compulsion or physical need to drink as those who are dependent on alcohol.

But you do drink excessively – and if you keep drinking excessively, you are very likely to go on to alcohol dependence.

Even if you aren’t suffering from alcohol dependence or abuse, your drinking still could be cause for concern.

I’ve known people who just “loosen up” enough that they start to say things they may not mean, and surely should not say – to their spouses, friends, co-workers or bosses.

Their drinking still is hazardous to their home and work life, and to family and friends.

It also puts them at risk for developing more serious problems with alcohol down the road.

The fact you were concerned enough about your drinking to ask me about it is a red flag. Talk to your doctor about your alcohol use. If you do have a problem, you can work with your doctor to determine the best treatment options for you.

me with a delicate situation between me and my husband of seven years.

For our 20th anniversary, my first husband gave me a diamond anniversary ring.

After running across it again, I recently started wearing it.

My husband is very offended I have chosen to do this. I wear it on the middle finger of my left hand. (The knuckle on my right hand was broken when I was a teen, and it won’t fit on that hand.)

I have tried explaining there is no sentimental reason for wearing the ring.

It’s just a beautiful piece of jewelry. He doesn’t want me to wear it at all, but I do. Do you have any advice? – Likes

Rodman heads to N. Korea THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, February 27, 2013 • Section D • Page 6

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman brought his basketball skills and flamboyant style – neon-bleached hair, tattoos, nose studs and all – on Tuesday to the isolated Communist country with possibly the world’s drabbest dress code: North Korea.

Arriving in Pyongyang, the American athlete and showman known as “The Worm” became an unlikely ambassador for sports diplomacy at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. Or maybe not so unlikely: Young leader Kim Jong Un is said to have been a fan of the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, when Rodman won three championships with the team.

Lachey to release a lullaby album

‘Breaking Bad’ donates clothes The AMC hit television series “Breaking Bad,” a show about the methamphetamine wars in Albuquerque, is helping the city’s homeless – and giving fans a chance to own some memorabilia.

New Mexico’s largest emergency shelter said the show recently donated boxes of clothing worn by cast members from past episodes that will be sold at the shelter’s thrift store beginning Wednesday.

Proceeds will go toward the Albuquerque-based shelter, said Joy Junction CEO Jeremy Reynalds.

Donated clothing also will give “Breaking Bad” fans an opportunity to buy pieces of show memorabilia, said Reynalds.

“Fans love the show, so it’s just great that we can give some of them a lasting memory and while so doing help Joy Junction as well,” he said.

The thrift store will be open seven days a week at the shelter but will not be selling clothing online. And it’s not clear what the items for sale include.

“Breaking Bad” follows chemistry teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, producing and selling methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul. The series is shot in Albuquerque and is shooting its final season.

The thrift store in Albuquerque’s South Valley isn’t the only place fans of the show can buy clothing from the popular show. The Candy Lady store in Albuquerque’s Old Town sells replicas of the “Heisenberg” hat, the black pork pie hat worn by Bryan Cranston’s character.

Sale Dat Dates:

First-time dad Nick Lachey knows all about rocking a baby to sleep. Now he wants to help other kids get their rest.

His new album, “A Father’s Lullaby,” will feature 12 songs, including classics and four original tracks that Lachey co-wrote, inspired by his own baby. The 39-year-old singer and his wife, TV personality Vanessa Lachey, welcomed their son, Camden, last September. “A Father’s Lullaby” will be available on iTunes and Amazon on March 13. It will be in stores in April.

Dorothy Hamill, Andy Dick join ‘Dancing’ A gold-medal figure skater, a country music legend and a kooky comedian are stepping their way onto “Dancing With the Stars.”

ABC says Dorothy Hamill, Wynonna Judd and Andy Dick are among 11 contenders for the mirrored ball on the new season of the celebrity dance competition.

Other famous faces in the show’s 16th edition include standup comic and actor D.L. Hughley, Baltimore Ravens football player Jacoby Jones and former “American Idol” contestant Kellie Pickler.

Actress Joanne Woodward is 83. Actress Barbara Babcock is 76. Actor Howard Hesseman is 73. Guitarist Neal Schon of Journey is 59. Guitarist Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden is 56.

Keyboardist Paul Humphreys of OMD is 53. Singer Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd is 53. Actor Adam Baldwin (“Chuck”) is 51. Actor Grant Show (“Melrose Place”) is 51.

Guitarist Mike Cross of Sponge is 48. Actor Donal Logue

The TV series “Duck Dynasty” is coming between Morrissey and Jimmy Kimmel.

The singer and animal rights activist says he canceled his appearance Tuesday on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” because “Duck Dynasty” cast members would be on the talk show.

Morrissey says he can’t perform on a show with what he called people who “amount to animal serial killers.”

One and done at Oscars for MacFarlane It looks like it’s one and done at the Oscars for Seth MacFarlane.

The “Family Guy” creator was asked on his Twitter account whether he’d consider hosting the Academy Awards again and he replied: “No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though.”

MacFarlane’s edgy comedy proved a polarizing force on Sunday’s Academy Awards, with jokes about domestic violence, women’s bodies and Jews in Hollywood that offended some viewers. The Oscars did get their biggest audience in three years, however, with particular growth among young viewers.

(“Knights of Prosperity,” “Grounded for Life”) is 47. Singer Chilli of TLC is 42. Keyboardist Jeremy Dean of Nine Days is 41. Singer Roderick Clark (Hi-Five) is 40. Bassist Shonna Tucker of Drive-By Truckers is 35. Singer Bobby Valentino is 33. Singer Josh Groban is 32. Drummer Jared Champion of Cage the Elephant is 30.

“That’s been our number one goal.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that new-home sales rose nearly 16 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000. The percentage increase was the largest in nearly 20 years. And December’s sales were revised higher to 378,000 from 369,000.

Steady job creation and near-record-low mortgage rates are spurring more Americans to buy houses. Sales of previously occupied homes rose

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP JPMorgan to trim another 4,000 jobs

ccashman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Courtesy Buick GMC owners wasted little time giving their dealership a new look.

The dealership at 6305 Northwest Hwy., Crystal Lake, was purchased in September 2011. Owners are Ray (J.R.) Fregia Jr., president; Rik Fregia, vice president; and their father, Ray Fregia Sr., vice president. Ray Sr. has more than 45 years experience in the automotive industry.

Their company also owns two car dealerships in Danville.

Remodeling was completed two weeks ago, and included upgrades to the showroom, customer lounge, service drive-up and exterior facade.

“Pretty much the whole dealership has been remodeled,” Ray Jr. said.

Total dealership acquisition and upgrades totaled more than $3.5 million.

“To date we have not used any city funds to help finance the renovations,” Rik said.

“The people of Crystal Lake have really supported us,” Ray Jr. said.

“We’ve been getting so many compliments on the building, Since we’ve been here we’ve tripled the inventory, and people were so happy to see so many Buicks, GMCs and used cars.”

Rik said new-car sales up up 25 percent and used-car sales up 200 percent since they took over the dealership.

Rik said the new 2013 Encore, a smaller SUV, is getting a lot of momentum. “The 2014 GMC Sierra is coming out within a month. We’re really excited to see what that will do in this marketplace,” Rik said.

“There’s no better time to buy,” Ray Jr. added. “As long as we’ve been in the business the rebates and financing now are the best we’ve ever seen.”

“That’s one of the reasons the dealership is growing so fast,” Rik added.

“The deals are really good right now.

We’re proud of the selection we offer.”

The dealership employs 26 people.

“That number keeps growing,” Ray

to the highest level in five years last year.

At the same time, the number of previously occupied homes for sale is at a 13-year low. That shortage creates more demand for new homes. Builders began construction on the most houses and apartments in four years last year.

The supply of new homes for sale was unchanged last month at 150,000.

That’s barely above August’s total of 143,000 — the smallest supply of new homes on records dating back to 1963.

At the current sales pace, it would take just 4.1 months to exhaust the number of new homes for sale, the lowest in eight years. Low inventories should encourage more construction.

Though new homes represent less than 20 percent of the housing sales market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to data from the National Association of Homebuilders.

The increase in home building has helped boost construction hiring. The industry has gained 98,000 jobs since September, the best stretch since the spring of 2006.

Still, the increases in new-home sales are coming from depressed levels. Sales plummeted to a record low in 2011. And sales are still well below the 700,000 annual level that economists consider healthy.

NEW YORK – JPMorgan is trimming about 4,000 jobs, or about 1.5 percent of its work force, becoming the latest big bank to shrink its staff.

The bank said the cuts will be focused in consumer banking and mortgages. Many of the cuts would come through attrition, but the bank will lay off workers as well, a bank spokeswoman said.

The cuts were revealed in a presentation to investors Tuesday. They are part of the bank’s bigger cost-cutting campaign. They come after a year when the bank increased profit and revenue.

The move could signal a new direction for staffing: JPMorgan already shed about 1,200 jobs in 2012, after adding jobs in 2011 and 2010.

Job cuts have become a familiar story in the banking industry. Banks are navigating new government regulations that have crimped some old sources of revenue, like issuing credit cards to students or trading for the bank’s own profit. The banks have also said that complying with the new regulations is costing them more money.

Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs all trimmed jobs in 2012. Morgan Stanley’s current round of job cuts has focused on senior ranks and investment bankers.

U.S. home prices post healthy gain in Dec. WASHINGTON – U.S. home prices rose at a healthy pace in December compared with a year ago, driven higher by rising sales and a smaller supply of available homes.

The Standard & Poor’s/ Case-Shiller 20-city home price index, released Tuesday, rose 6.8 percent in December compared with the same month a year ago. That’s up from a 5.5 percent annual gain in November.

Nationwide, the report showed that prices rose 7.3 percent in 2012. That is similar to other home price measures that show a healthy gain last year.

8IN BRIEF

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Teach your IRA beneficiaries to stretch

Home Depot income up 32%, OKs $17B buyback

Americans saving for retirement are well aware of the tax benefits that individual retirement accounts confer on account holders. Fewer are familiar with the rules that offer tax savings to IRA heirs. These special “stretch” distribution rules can help you transfer wealth across one or perhaps two generations.

Most people understand how money ends up in IRA plans, but they may not understand how it comes out later and what happens after they pass on. They may be missing out on a powerful estate planning tool that’s also easy to use. Here’s how it works and how it might make a difference to your estate planning.

• Defining the stretch. Rather than a product – such as a particular type of IRA – stretching is a distribution strategy that can be applied to any type of IRA. Under the strategy, beneficiaries can make withdrawals from the inherited account over years or decades.

Under the stretch strategy, required minimum distributions are calculated based on the beneficiary’s life expectancy.

For example, say a 60-year-old man inherits an IRA from his father. He can schedule distributions over his 25-year life expectancy, as determined

NEW YORK – Home Depot Inc., the largest U.S. home improvement retailer, said Tuesday its fiscal fourthquarter net income surged 32 percent, beating expectations, helped by strong U.S. sales and the cleanup related to Superstorm Sandy.

The news follows smaller rival Lowe’s Cos. results Monday, which also beat expectations, and is the latest sign that Americans are feeling more comfortable spending money on their homes as the housing market slowly recovers.

The company said its results were strong across the country. New York and New Jersey were the strongest regions as people repaired homes after Superstorm Sandy, but there was also recovery in Florida, California and Arizona – the hardest hit regions during the housing downturn.

Home Depot also said Tuesday that it will buy back $17 billion of its common stock and boosted its quarterly dividend by 34 percent.

age 70½. But if you expect to include an IRA in your estate, you can take a few important steps to prepare your account for potential stretching: 1. Check the details of your IRA custodial agreement. Most IRA custodians will allow beneficiaries to use the stretch provision, but some may require faster payouts.

2. Choose beneficiaries carefully and indicate them on your IRA beneficiary form. This may be the most important step in the stretch process. It is important to understand that if you name your estate as an IRA beneficiary, your estate has no life expectancy, and therefore can’t use the stretch provision. Instead, your heirs might have to withdraw all the money from that account within five years, per IRS rules. Likewise, spouses typically don’t need to use a stretch strategy because IRS rules allow spouses to roll inherited accounts into their own IRAs. Children or grandchildren are ideal beneficiaries for potential stretching. Because they tend to have longer life expectancies upon inheritance of an IRA, they are more likely to reap the most benefits of tax-advantaged growth.

Make sure to update your ben-

LOCAL FINANCE Timothy J. O’Connor by the IRS single life expectancy table. The first year after inheriting the IRA, this beneficiary would be required to withdraw only 1/25th of the account’s value. The next year, he would withdraw 1/24th of the account’s value, and so on.

The appeal of the stretch provision is that the longer the beneficiary’s life expectancy, the smaller the amount he or she must withdraw each year – allowing the bulk of the funds in that IRA to continue to grow tax-deferred.

It’s a powerful way to preserve the family’s wealth. IRAs are part of your taxable estate, but they can continue to grow on a tax-advantaged basis long after the IRA owner is gone.

• Setting up a stretch strategy. The stretch strategy won’t have any implications for your IRA during your lifetime: Stretching can be used only by the beneficiaries of an inherited account, although you can enhance the amount to be left behind by taking no more than your annual required minimum amount once you reach

eficiary forms after important life changes, such as births, deaths, marriage or divorce. IRA beneficiary forms supersede anything written in your will!

3. Educate your heirs. Make sure they understand how to enact a stretch strategy. Most important, they should appreciate the intent of the gift and grasp the benefits of not simply cashing out the account. Second, they need to sidestep pitfalls. For example, non-spousal beneficiaries who want to move the account from one IRA custodian to another must use what’s called a “trustee-to-trustee” transfer in order to avoid triggering immediate taxes on those funds.

I can help you and your family understand inherited IRA rules. Once your heirs see the benefits of the stretch provision, they’re likely to recognize what a significant gift you plan to leave them.

Consumers more confident in Feb.

Bernanke signals continued support for low interest rates

Macy’s 4Q profit beats Street expectations NEW YORK – Macy’s reported a fourth-quarter profit that beat Wall Street expectations as its strategy of tailoring merchandise to local markets paid off during the holiday season.

For the period ended Feb. 2, Macy’s Inc. said it earned $730 million, or $1.83 per share. That compares with $745 million, or $1.74 per share, a year earlier, when the company had more shares outstanding.

Not including one-items such as expenses associated with the early retirement of debt, it earned $2.05 per share. Revenue was $9.35 billion, up from $8.72 billion a year ago.

Analysts expected a profit of $1.99 per share on revenue of $9.35 billion.

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER WASHINGTON – Ben Bernanke sent a message Tuesday to Congress: The Federal Reserve’s low-interest-rate policies are giving crucial support to an economy still burdened by high unemployment.

The Fed chairman acknowledged the risks of keeping rates low indefinitely. But he expressed confidence that such risks pose little threat now.

Delivering the Fed’s semiannual monetary report to Congress, Bernanke sought to minimize concerns that the central bank’s easy-money policies might cause runaway inflation later or dangerous bubbles in assets like stocks. He sought to reassure sometimesskeptical senators that the Fed is monitoring potential threats and can defuse them before

deficits in the short run. He noted that the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the automatic spending cuts that take effect Friday would shave growth by 0.6 percentage point this year.

“Congress and the administration should consider replacing the sharp, front-loaded spending cuts required by the sequestration with policies that reduce the federal deficit more gradually in the near term but more substantially in the longer run,” Bernanke said.

Economists said Bernanke made clear the Fed has no plans to scale back its pace of bond purchases.

“That policy will continue to be supportive for growth, with no sign of imminent plans to scale down (the bond purchases) and certainly no plans to remove accommodation for a very long time,”

they hurt the economy.

Several Fed policymakers said at their most recent meeting that the Fed might have to scale back its bond purchases because of the risks.

Those comments, contained in minutes released last week, fanned speculation that the Fed might soon allow longterm borrowing rates to rise.

Stock prices fell sharply.

But Bernanke gave no signal that the Fed might shift away from its low-interestrate policy. He said its aggressive program to buy $85 billion a month in Treasurys and mortgage bonds had kept borrowing costs low.

And that, in turn, has helped strengthen sectors such as housing and autos, he said.

On budget policy, Bernanke urged Congress to replace the automatic spending cuts due to start Friday with more gradual reductions in budget

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke pauses before testifying on Capitol Hill Tuesday. said Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Addressing concerns that the bond purchases, which have pushed the Fed’s balance sheet to a record high above $3 trillion, could trigger high inflation, Bernanke said: “Inflation is currently subdued and inflation expectations appear well-anchored.

We do not see the potential costs of the increased risktaking in some financial markets as outweighing the benefits of promoting a stronger economic recovery and morerapid job creation.”

NEW YORK – Americans seem to be more confident in the economy than they have been in the past few months.

But that doesn’t mean they’re willing to spend more money.

Consumer confidence rebounded in February, reversing three straight months of declines, according to The Conference Board, a private research group.

The figure is well below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy, but at 69.6 is up from the revised 58.4 in January and the 60.5 analysts polled by research firm FactSet expected. It was the highest reading since November 2012 when the index was at 71.5.

The number of people anticipating more jobs rose to 16.7 percent from 14.4 percent, while those expecting fewer jobs declined to 21.5 percent from 26.7 percent. The proportion of consumers expecting their incomes to increase rose to 15.7 percent.

From “Romeo and Juliet,” we all know the line: “that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

At the bridge table, sometimes it pays to take time to smell the high-card points, which by any other name would be as important.

How does that apply in today’s deal? South is in four spades. West leads the heart 10 to declarer’s ace.

How should South continue?

West applied the Law of Total Tricks for his jump to four hearts. In a competitive auction (or when you are confident your side does not have the high-card values for game), bid as high as your side’s combined number of trumps.

West knew about a 10card fit, so jumped to the 10-trick level.

South saw four potential losers: one spade, two diamonds and one club. It looked as though he needed the spade finesse to work.

But since there were only 17 high-card points missing, declarer took time to learn who held the club ace. At trick two, he led his club king.

West won with his ace

and shifted to the diamond nine, but now South won with his ace and led the spade queen, tempting West to cover if he unexpectedly had the king. However, after West played low, declarer called for dummy’s ace to drop East’s king.

If East had not held the spade king, he would have opened with only 10 highcard points, which was highly unlikely.

When the opponents have been bidding, always check the high-card points when the dummy comes down. It will make it easier to place the missing key cards.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Several old but good relationships might be revived and revitalized in the year ahead. These wonderful and trustworthy friends will once again play constructive roles in your affairs, with everyone benefiting.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There are always those times when we turn out to be the victor with something in which we are vulnerable. If you happen to take a beating in the early rounds today, keep this in mind.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be as flexible as possible when trying to iron out the snags in an agreement.

When you allow everything to be on the table during negotiations, the problems will dissolve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Stay out of office politics as much as possible. Chances are nothing will be resolved, but the brouhaha it stirs up could unsettle you and affect your job performance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Unless you match your activity with the clock, not everything you want to accomplish will get done. Don’t spend too much time on unanticipated interruptions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t fight for what you want if you know that doing so will have detrimental side effects. What’s good for you might not be equally rewarding for the others involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even though Lady Luck is willing to help you out, you might not notice her contribution until late in the game. Make some room for her to squeeze into the picture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When it comes to your financial affairs, be both careful and prudent by thinking first and acting second. If you reverse this order, you might not be able to clean up your mistakes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In negotiating a matter of importance, don’t be too hasty and accept what is first offered. If you aren’t getting exactly what you want, you should be able to improve your position.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Something that you work really hard on might not turn out as well as you expected. Conversely, that to which you devote little effort could go over like gangbusters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Try to be tolerant and forgiving in involvements with both your family and friends. When you overlook their shortcomings, they, in turn, will overlook yours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although it might not be easy, a critical objective can be achieved. When Lady Luck sees that you are doing everything you can, she will lend a helping hand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You’ll have good luck in fulfilling your expectations and hopes, but not necessarily in the way you expected. Unforeseen developments will cause you to scrap your original plans.
