Man guilty of stabbing wife By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Harvard man received 15 years in prison after admitting to stabbing his estranged wife in the head and abandoning her in Wisconsin. Jose Enriquez-Hernandez’s guilty plea to armed violence was accepted Friday by McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather. In exchange for pleading guilty, prosecuJose tors agreed to Enriquezdrop all other Hernandez charges including attempted murder and aggravated kidnapping. Assistant State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally said that prior to the Sept. 30, 2012, incident, 46-year-old Enriquez-Hernandez and his wife, Margarita Enriquez, had separated and she began dating another man. The day of the attack, the woman returned to her Harvard home where she found Enriquez-Hernandez waiting for her. She agreed to drive him home, and an argument ensued. Enriquez-Hernandez pulled out two 3-inch knives and threatened his wife, Kenneally said.

Candidate wants to bring ‘fresh set of eyes’ to office By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Last week in this space, the Northwest Herald outlined the initiatives of Andrew Zinke, one of two lawmen vying to be the next sheriff of McHenry County. It’s time for Bill Prim’s voice to be heard. Prim, a 27-year veteran police officer, spent much of his career in investigations – fo-

cusing much of those efforts on drugs and asset forfeitures. He eventually retired as commander from the Des Plaines Police Department and currently works in security at the Lake County Courthouse. He touted numerous law enforcement awards and commendations during his career. “[I will bring] a fresh set of eyes and new set of ideas and somewhat of a different philosophy,” Prim said in an

interview with the Northwest Herald. Prim is publicly backed by McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi. It’s that endorsement, Prim says, that would put an end to public – and often costly – squabbles with the sheriff’s office. He says he and Bianchi have an “inherent trust” in one another. “I would do away with all the political infighting between

all the offices there … working in conjunction with someone instead of being in constant friction,” Prim said. “When you have people consistently having to be in court discussing issues, that costs the taxpayers money. That’s on the taxpayers’ dime,” he said. Sheriff Keith Nygren, who is retiring this year, supports Zinke to run as his successor.

The Northwest Herald, in partnership with the League of Women Voters, will host a debate between the two candidates at 7 p.m. Feb. 25 at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Funds According to quarterly reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Election, Zinke has $38,418 in the bank compared to Prim’s $23,600.41. Zinke raised $21,401.23 in the most recent quarter. Prim raised $10,310.

SOCHI, Russia – A Russia in search of global vindication kicked off the Sochi Olympics looking more like a Russia that likes to party, with a pulse-raising opening ceremony about fun and sports instead of terrorism, gay rights and coddling despots. And that’s just the way Russian President Vladimir Putin wants these Winter Games to be. The world’s premier athletes

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Cool runnings on my Olympic treadmill I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling very Olympic these days. With the Opening Ceremony starting things off Friday night, we are all just a triple lutz jump, a double cork 1080 and a final bell lap away from a gold medal … give or take a few hundredths of a second. A few weeks ago I decided to prepare myself for the event by watching a few Olympic-themed movies as I did my daily walk to nowhere on the treadmill. A quick foray into my videotape collection yielded two likely titles. The first movie I watched was “Miracle,” the story of the United States 1980 hockey team that, against all odds won the gold medal, defeating the invincible Russian team. I love the part where Coach Brooks tells his team, “If we play ’em 10 times, they might win nine. But NOT this game … Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world.” And, as I plodded along on my treadmill, I believed Herb Brooks. My wife also believed that a sweating, blubbering man wearing pajamas and

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava his old hockey helmet coming up from the exercise room in the basement was not her vision of her husband in his Golden Years. And that brings us to my second Olympic-preparatory movie, “Cool Runnings.” This story takes place at the 1988 Winter Olympic in Calgary, Canada. Four Jamaican lads and their coach, a washed-up American bobsledder, find each other and set off for the Olympics. With gold medal dreams, they show up at Calgary hoping to win without a sled and with zero experience on real ice. The only unrealistic elements this Disney plot was missing was a VW named Herbie and a flying elephant named Dumbo. But somehow, as the movie unfolded, I bought into their dream. Of course, the Jamaican bobsled team didn’t win a gold medal. In fact, their dream ended in an 80-mile-per-hour

ice-scraping crash that left them lying sideways near the end of the course. So there were no victory tears for me like in “Miracle.” But, nevertheless, there were tears. You see, in the movie, after the crash the boys got out of their bobsled and began to carry it on their shoulders toward the finish line. The stunned spectators suddenly realized what was really happening. This was not about a gold medal. It never really was. Now, I’m not going to wax poetic about this, but I’ll never forget what their coach told one of the boys before the big race. He said, “A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you’re not good enough without it, you’ll never be good enough with it.” Then the young man asked, “Coach, how will I know if I’m good enough?” The coach answered, “When you cross that line, you’ll know.” Geesh. When they crossed that finish line carrying their bobsled, I certainly knew they were good enough. And, better yet, I think they did, too. So, with another torrent of tears,

I stepped off my treadmill. I thought about victoriously carrying it upstairs to imitate the Jamaicans, and I could have done it if it was a four-man treadmill, but, alas, my wife had to settle for a sweating, blubbering man speaking in a Jamaican accent. Thus ended my personal Olympic trials. I have now qualified to sit in my Amish glider chair and watch the games with continued amazement and admiration. And maybe with a few more tears. Oh, and by the way, when the bobsled competition starts a week from Sunday on Feb. 16, don’t be surprised when you see a two-man team from Jamaica. So get ready to feel da rhythm, feel da rhyme, get on up, it’s bobsled time! Cool runnings, mon … peace be the journey.

Bottle released by Mass. scientist in ’56 is found The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – It was April 1956, and the No. 1 song was Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel.” At the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, scientist Dean Bumpus was busy releasing glass bottles in a large stretch of the Atlantic Ocean. Nearly 58 years later, a biologist studying grey seals off Nova Scotia found one of the bottles in a pile of debris on a beach, 300 miles from where it was released. “It was almost like finding

His reward will be exactly what Bumpus promised in 1956 to anyone who returned a bottle: a 50-cent piece. “I didn’t want the reward, but they said they are sending it to me anyway,” Joyce said, chuckling. Joyce said the bottle had been sand-blasted over about 75 percent of its surface. He could still read the words, “Break This Bottle,” so he pried off the rubber stopper.

So the only thing you could do was to see where something started and where it ended up,” he said. “That was a pretty good approach.” Using the number on the postcard, Woods Hole workers tracked the bottle found by Joyce to a group of 12 released not far off Nova Scotia on April 26, 1956.

The casket of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton is carried Feb. 9, 2013, at Cedar Park Cemetery in Calumet Park. Pendleton was shot and killed Jan. 29, 2013, in a park during a gang dispute she had nothing to do with.

Chicago anti-gang efforts tame city’s street violence By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The low point so far in Chicago’s closely watched battle with street gangs may have been the day that Michelle Obama came home for the funeral of a teenage honor student. A year ago, the city’s bloodiest January in more than a decade had just ended. On Feb. 9, 2013, the first lady stood in a church mourning 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who had been shot in a gang dispute she had nothing to do with. It happened just a mile from the Obamas’ Chicago house. Since then, the number of homicides and other violent crimes that turned Chicago into a national symbol of gun violence has fallen sharply, bringing some relief to neighborhoods plagued with gang activity but also raising questions about whether the progress is sustainable. The overall crime rate fell

At a glance Chicago led the nation in homicides in 2012 with more than 500. It ended 2013 with 415 homicides – the lowest total in nearly half a century but still far more than any other U.S. city, including much larger Los Angeles and New York. last year to a level not seen since 1972, and the number of shooting incidents involving victims 16 and younger dropped 40 percent in 12 months, city officials say. Some wonder if the decline is a result of spending more than $100 million on police overtime. But city officials insist the numbers are evidence that changing police tactics and expanding after-school jobs and mentoring programs for youths are paying off. Nobody pretends the problem has been solved. Yet Hadiya Pendleton’s great-uncle, Nathaniel Pendleton, feels

more hopeful. “It’s a long way from people feeling like they can sit out on their porches,” he said. “But it is getting a little better.” On the day of the first lady’s visit, Chicago’s violence problem was making international headlines, posing an enormous challenge to Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former White House chief of staff. The mayor stressed that the problem mostly affected gangplagued neighborhoods on the city’s South and West sides and that police were doing everything possible to contain it. In response, authorities launched a multipronged effort that started with a gang audit, a massive pooling of information about specific gangs and their members. With that information, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said, officers could focus on particular gangs and members and move quickly into areas where gangs might attack each other.

NATO protesters found not guilty of terrorism

Quinn won’t debate primary challenger

2 families awarded $8M for grain bin deaths

CHICAGO – A jury acquitted three NATO summit protesters Friday of breaking Illinois’ rarely tested state terrorism law, a finding the defense said should dissuade Illinois or any other states from ever pressing such charges in a similar way against activists. While jurors found them not guilty of the most ominous charges, Brian Church, Jared Chase and Brent Vincent Betterly were convicted on lesser counts of arson and mob action. Prosecutors portrayed the activists as sinister and dangerous anarchists who plotted to throw Molotov cocktails at President Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters during the 2012 summit. Attorney Molly Armour, who represents Betterly, said jurors had showed they agreed prosecutors had been overzealous in characterizing the alleged crimes as terrorism. “This is a line in the sand,” she said. “The war on terror can’t go this far.”

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn won’t debate his lone Democratic challenger ahead of the March 18 primary. Activist Tio Hardiman wrote Quinn a letter requesting debates, saying the public “deserves a serious debate.” Quinn campaign spokeswoman Leslie Wertheimer said Friday she hadn’t seen the letter but no debates were to “take place.” Hardiman faces an uphill battle. Records for the most recent quarter show Quinn’s campaign has $4.5 million in the bank, compared with $550 for Hardiman, who’s mostly self-financed. He’s been active in anti-violence efforts, but doesn’t have statewide name recognition or party backing. He insists he’ll run a credible campaign. The Republican candidates are participating in numerous debates. They are Treasurer Dan Rutherford, businessman Bruce Rauner and state Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady.

MOUNT CARROLL – An Illinois jury has awarded $16 million to the families of two teenagers who died in a 2010 grain bin accident. The Carroll County jury reached its judgment after a 13-day trial, awarding $8 million each to the families of 19-year-old Alejandro Pacas and 14-year-old Wyatt Whitebread. The workers were in a Haasbach LLC grain bin to help the corn flow while machinery was running. The pair became trapped in corn more than 30 feet deep along with a third worker who was rescued after six hours. Haasbach, which is now out of business, paid $200,000 in federal fines for more than two dozen violations. It also paid more than $68,000 for violating child labor laws. The jury found Haasbach owner Consolidated Grain and Barge ultimately responsible for the deaths.

Obama gives Boehner room on immigration The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – As Republican leaders dampen expectations for overhauling immigration laws this year, the White House is hoping that the GOP resistance is temporary and tactical, and it’s resisting pressure from some political allies for President Barack Obama to take matters into his own hands and ease his administration’s deportation record. For a president looking for a legacy piece of legislation, the current state of the immigration debate rep- John resents a high Boehner wire act. He could act alone to slow deportations, and probably doom any chance of a permanent and comprehensive overhaul. Yet if he shows too much patience, the opportunity to fix immigration laws as he wants could well slip away. House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday all but ruled out passage of immigration legislation before fall midterm elections, saying Republicans had trouble trusting that Obama would implement all aspects of an immigration law. White House officials say they believe Boehner ultimately wants to get it done. But they acknowledge that Boehner faces stiff resistance from conservatives who oppose any form of legalization for immigrants who have crossed into the United States illegally or overstayed their visas. As well, Republicans are eager to keep this election year’s focus on Obama’s contentious health care law. Obama is willing to give

Boehner space to operate and to tamp down the conservative outcry that greeted a set of immigration overhaul principles the speaker brought forward last week. For now, the White House is simply standing behind a comprehensive bill that passed in the Senate last year, but is not trying to press Boehner on how to proceed in the Republican-controlled House. “That news yesterday was disappointing but not entirely surprisingly,” White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri said. “It’s a difficult issue for them.” Barack Vice PresiObama dent Joe Biden told CNN on Friday that Obama is waiting to see what the House passes before responding. “What you don’t want to do is create more problems for John Boehner in being able to bring this up,” he said. The White House view could be overly optimistic, playing down the strength of the opposition to acting this year. For Republicans the immigration issue poses two political challenges. In the shortterm, it displays intra-party divisions when they want to use their unified opposition to the health care law as a key issue in the 2014 elections. Immigration distracts from that strategy. But failure to pass an immigration overhaul would be a significant drag on the chances of a Republican winning the 2016 presidential election if angry Latino voters are mobilized to vote for the Democratic nominee.

8NATION BRIEFS Woman charged with kidnapping sister’s baby TOWN OF BELOIT, Wis. – A woman who pretended to be pregnant stole her half-sister’s newborn boy from a Wisconsin home and left him in a storage crate outside an Iowa gas station in frigid temperatures as police closed in, according to court documents filed Friday. Federal prosecutors in Madison charged Kristen Smith of Denver with kidnapping Friday afternoon, hours after an Iowa police chief miraculously discovered Kayden Powell, who is nearly a week old, alive and well in the plastic storage crate that morning. Police found a prosthetic pregnancy belly in Smith’s car along with baby clothes, a car seat and a stroller, but no sign of Kayden, according to the affidavit. The discovery of the infant

shortly after 10 a.m. Friday capped a frantic search that involved scores of police officers in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.

Nevada county to charge for jail meals; ACLU upset RENO, Nev. – A northern Nevada county is moving ahead with what may be a first-in-thenation plan to charge county jail inmates for food and medical care, despite objections from the American Civil Liberties Union that it’s cruel and unusual punishment and could lead to a court battle. The Elko County Commission on Wednesday approved Sheriff Jim Pitts’ proposal to charge inmates $6 a day for meals, $10 for each doctor visit and $5 for initial booking into the jail, a move he says will save county taxpayers millions of dollars a year.

Former Tampa police captain Curtis Reeves Jr. (center) sits beside his defense attorneys Friday as they listen to his taped interview by detectives during his bond reduction hearing in Dade City, Fla. Reeves is accused of fatally shooting Chad Oulson, 43, and wounding his wife, Nicole, 33, during an argument Jan. 13 over texting at the Cobb Grove 16 theater in Wesley Chapel, Fla.

No bail for ex-officer in theater death By TAMARA LUSH The Associated Press DADE CITY, Fla. – A bail hearing for a retired Tampa police officer who fatally shot a man inside a movie theater during an argument over texting took a dramatic turn Friday: Prosecutors played a grainy video of the shooting and a recording of the defendant’s police interview. “If I had it to do over again, it would have never happened,” Curtis Reeves told detectives. “But you don’t get do-overs.” Reeves, 71, is charged with second-degree murder in the Jan. 13 killing of Chad Oulson, 43. At the end of the hearing, which provided glimpses of the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecutors’ case, the judge ordered Reeves held without bail until his trial. Reeves did not react when the judge announced his decision. His attorneys say they will appeal. Oulson’s widow, Nicole Oulson, looked relieved and sat with her eyes closed for a

moment as the judge spoke. Later, she spoke to reporters. “I’m just very happy and relieved by the judge’s ruling,” she said. Nicole Oulson was struck in the hand by the bullet that killed her husband. According Nicole to the police Oulson interview, Reeves said Oulson hit him in the face, possibly with a cellphone, and he shot in self-defense. Yet other witnesses, including Reeves’ wife, told authorities they never saw Oulson strike Reeves. Vivian Reeves did tell police that Oulson stood up and leaned over toward her husband just before the shooting, and the video appears to show some sort of contact between the two men. Defense attorney Richard Escobar seized on those inconsistencies during his closing arguments to the judge and said the witnesses in the theater were “all over the place” and that the peo-

ple who saw Oulson die in the theater that day “want to do everything they can” to help Oulson in the courtroom. Escobar said Reeves should be released on bail because he is a decorated, retired police captain with deep ties to the community. Reeves pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. Prosecutor Manny Garcia argued that Reeves should remain in jail without bail. “Pointing the gun, firing the gun, and his statements constitute second-degree murder,” Garcia said. “If he left the firearm in the car, we wouldn’t be here today.” Prosecutors also played a recording of a police interview with Nicole Oulson. “He kept saying stuff to my husband,” Oulson said of Reeves. She said she didn’t immediately realize her husband had been shot. She said after the shooting, Reeves “just sat in his chair, he just kind of leaned back and just sat there, didn’t try to help.”

Authorities said Reeves became upset when Oulson was texting during the previews before the matinee. The Oulsons were sitting in front of Reeves and his wife. Witnesses said they didn’t see Oulson hit Reeves, but some saw popcorn flying toward him. “This happened so damn fast,” Reeves told Detective Allen Proctor in the recording. Reeves also said a woman with Oulson, later identified as Nicole Oulson, was “holding” her husband back. Reeves’ wife told a detective she didn’t see Oulson strike her husband, but he told her he had been hit in the moments after the shooting. Vivian Reeves also told detectives that Oulson used expletives, but didn’t make any threats. She cried during the interview and said she didn’t know why her husband fired the single shot. “He was in law enforcement 20 years, and he never shot anybody,” she said. “He’s never threatened anybody with a gun.”

8WORLD BRIEFS Attempt to fly hijacked plane to Sochi foiled

Puerto Rico credit rating downgraded

ANKARA, Turkey – A Ukrainian man tried to hijack a Turkey-bound flight to Sochi, Russia, as the Winter Olympics were kicking off Friday, but the pilot tricked him and landed in Istanbul instead, where he was stealthily detained after a four-hour standoff on a plane full of passengers, an official said. The hijacking drama came as the Winter Olympics opened in the Russian resort city, with thousands of athletes from around the world pouring into the tightly secured stadium amid warnings the games could be a terrorism target. A Turkish F-16 fighter was scrambled as soon as the pilot on the flight from Kharkiv, Ukraine, with 110 passengers aboard signaled there was a hijacking attempt, according to NTV television. It escorted the plane safely to its original destination at Sabiha Gokcen airport in Istanbul. No bomb was found, Istanbul governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu said.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Puerto Rico’s credit rating was dealt its second blow in a week when Moody’s Investors Service announced Friday it had downgraded the U.S. territory’s debt to junk status. The news came just days after Standard & Poor’s downgraded the island’s debt by one notch, prompting the government to file legislation aimed at shoring up the economy as it prepares to re-enter the bond market this month.

Homs evacuation begins BEIRUT – Dozens of children and women along with elderly people in wheelchairs were evacuated Friday from Syria’s battleground city of Homs under a deal between the warring sides that included a three-day cease-fire. The rare truce, which will also allow the entrance of aid convoys, may help build confidence ahead of a second round of peace talks next week.

Muslims flee Central African Republic city The ASSOCIATED PRESS BANGUI, Central African Republic – Thousands of Muslims climbed aboard trucks protected by heavily armed Chadian soldiers in a mass exodus Friday from the capital of Central African Republic. Their flight follows months of escalating attacks on anyone perceived as supporting a now-defunct Muslim rebel government blamed for scores of atrocities during its rule of this predominantly Christian country. In the Netherlands, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announced a preliminary investigation into war crimes or crimes against humanity in Central African Republic, saying the crisis has “gone from bad to worse” since September. Along the streets of Bangui, crowds of Christians gathered to cheer the convoy’s departure for the neighboring country of Chad, which is mostly Muslim. It was an acrid farewell to their Muslim neighbors who had in some cases lived alongside Christians for generations here and have few

The dangers for those who stayed behind were clear: One man who tumbled from the precariously overloaded trucks was brutally slain, witnesses said. “He didn’t even have the time to fall – he landed into the hands of the angry mob who then lynched him at the scene,” said Armando Yanguendji, a resident of the Gobongo district who witnessed the

horror. Another truck in the same neighborhood escaped attack from Christian militiamen only when Burundian peacekeepers fired into the air to disperse the crowd trying to assault the convoy, he said. Some trucks broke down even before they could leave Bangui on Friday and had to be abandoned. The passengers jumped aboard other trucks, facing constant jeering,

threats and stone-throwing from the spectators. “The Christians say the Muslims must go back where they came from – that’s why we are going home,” said Osmani Benui as she fled Bangui. “We couldn’t stay here because we had no protection.” They did have protection as they departed. Chadian special forces went along as well as Seleka rebels in cars, armed with pistols and AK47s. The convoy of some 500 cars, trucks and motorcycles strained under the weight of people’s belongings. The aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Borders, said Friday that tens of thousands of Muslims have now fled to Chad and Cameroon. The U.N. refugee agency said that almost 9,000 people have fled to Cameroon in the last 10 days, bringing the number of refugees in Cameroon to 22,000. “It really is a horrific situation. All over Bangui, entire Muslim neighborhoods are being destroyed and emptied,” said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director for Human Rights Watch.

As always, Greece – the birthplace of Olympic competition – came first in the parade of nations. Five new teams, all from warm weather climates, joined the Winter Olympians for the first time. Togo’s flagbearer looked dumbstruck with wonder, but those veterans from the Cayman Islands had the style to arrive in shorts! The smallest teams often earned the biggest cheers from the crowd of 40,000, with an enthusiastic three-person Venezuelan team winning roars of approval as flagbearer and alpine skier Antonio Pardo danced and jumped along to the electronic music.

Prim says he is the candidate who will end what he calls the “entitlement mentality” at the sheriff’s office. He wants to bring “transparency and trust” back to the office. “The only way you can truly be transparent is to invite people in and let them see exactly what you do,” Prim said. “The end result is you end up with really good ideas from people outside the program. ...

Dan Duffy, former congressman Joe Walsh and other local businessmen. The primary election is March 18. The winner of this race will face Jim Harrison, a Woodstock-based attorney specializing in employment law and a former sheriff’s deputy. Harrison is running as an independent candidate in the Nov. 4 general election.

Putin won them amid controversy seven years ago, were stoked during the ceremony itself. A passenger aboard a flight bound for Istanbul said there was a bomb on board and tried to divert the plane to Sochi. Authorities said the plane landed safely in Turkey, and the suspected hijacker – who did not have a bomb – was subdued. The show opened with an embarrassing hiccup, as one of five snowflakes failed to unfurl as planned into the Olympic rings, forcing organizers to jettison a fireworks display and disrupting one of the most symbolic moments in an opening ceremony. That allowed for an old Soviet tradition of whitewashing problems to resurface, as state-run broadcaster Rossiya 1 substituted a shot during from a rehearsal with the rings unfolding successfully into their live broadcast. Also missing from the show: Putin’s repression of dissent, and inconsistent security measures at the Olympics, which will take place just a few hundred miles (kilometers) away from the sites of a long-running insurgency and routine militant violence. And the poorly paid migrant workers who helped build up the Sochi site from scratch, the disregard for local residents, the environmental abuse during construction, the pressure on activists, and the huge amounts of Sochi construction money that disappeared to corruption. Some world leaders purposely stayed away, but U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon and dozens of others were in Sochi for the ceremony. He didn’t mention the very real anger over a Russian law banning gay “propaganda” aimed at minors that is being used to discriminate against gay people. But IOC President Thomas Bach won cheers for addressing it Friday, telling the crowd it’s possible to hold Olympics “with tolerance and without any form of discrimination for whatever reason.” For all the criticism, there was no shortage of pride at the ceremony in what Russia has achieved with these games, after building up an Olympic Park out of swampland. The head of the Sochi organizing committee, Dmitry Chernyshenko, captured the mood of many Russians present when he said, “We’re now at the heart of that dream that became reality.” “The games in Sochi are our chance to show the whole world the best of what Russia is proud of,” he said. “Our hospitality, our achievements, our Russia!” The ceremony presented the Putin’s version of today’s Russia: a country with a rich and complex history emerging confidently from a rocky two decades and now capable of putting on a major international sports event. Putin himself was front and center, declaring the games open from his box high above the stadium floor. Earlier, he looked down as the real stars of the games – those athletes, dressed in winter wear of so many national colors to

bound her with rope and put her in the back of the car. Enriquez-Hernandez eventually dropped the woman off in a driveway at a relative’s house in Walworth, Wis., his defense attorney Stephen Kramer said outside the courtroom. “He left her there in the hope that they would call for help,” Kramer said.

Those volunteers would free deputies from those tasks. “Things that require a police presence and police service, but does not necessarily need to tie up a deputy for a long period of time,” Prim said.

Vandals distract church’s mission The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs down: To vandals who’ve repeatedly damaged property at St. Patrick Catholic Church in McHenry, including badly damaging the iconic statue of St. Patrick in front of the church. Churches perform vital roles in our communities in so many ways and are funded mainly by the generosity of the congregation providing a safe and beautiful place to reflect and worship. Churches use much of their money helping the poor and for other worthy causes. It’s a shame they have to use it to make continued repairs because of vandals. Thumbs up: To Illinois House Republicans for filing Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 43, which seeks to put a constitutional amendment in front of voters that would end lame-duck sessions of the General Assembly that often lead to votes that betray taxpayers. It was during the lame-duck session in 2011 when Gov. Pat Quinn and Speaker Michael Madigan were able to secure enough Democratic votes to increase Illinois’ income tax by 67 percent and the corporate tax by 46 percent. Quinn later awarded four lame-duck Democrats who voted for the tax increases with well-paying state jobs, including two who campaigned against the increases. Two others were awarded for their lame-duck votes with nice jobs with the city of Chicago. Thumbs down: To teenagers’ employment rates shrinking. In Illinois, teen employment rates shrunk to 27 percent in 2012, down from 37 percent in 2006 – before the recession – according to a new report by the Chicago Alternative Schools Network. The numbers are even with the national decline. Because so many people are out of work, teenagers are being passed over for jobs, which, in turn, is stunting the development of work ethic and responsibility in teenagers. Thumbs up: To the Hampshire girls basketball team for rallying around the three Dumoulin family members whose grandfather died Wednesday. The three Dumoulins decided to play in Wednesday night’s game, dedicating the victory to 85-year-old William Dumoulin, a 1946 Hampshire graduate who had served with the U.S. Armed Forces in 1955-56 in occupied Germany and was a lifelong area farmer.

8HOW CONGRESS VOTED A look at this week’s major votes in Congress and how those who represent McHenry County voted:

Dick Durbin (D) and Mark Kirk (R) voted “yes.”

Jobless aid extension The purpose: To extend by three months assistance for the long-term unemployed.

The vote: Conference report agreed to in the Senate on Tuesday by 17 votes – 68 voted “yes,” and 32 voted “no.” Local representation: U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin (D) and Mark Kirk (R) voted “yes.” Source: The New York Times’ Inside Congress website

Super Bowl commercial Social media was aflame with conservatives red-hot over a Super Bowl ad by Coca-Cola. A rendition of “America the Beautiful” sung in multiple languages and featuring a culturally diverse group of Americans inspired anger and threats of a boycott from the right. A couple of reactions: • Coca-Cola is in the business of selling soft drinks to consumers across the globe. It doesn’t take its marketing lightly, carefully honing ads to appeal to the widest audience possible. If a Coke ad leaves a viewer unhappy, there’s a good chance he is on the wrong side of history. • Health experts tell us increased consumption of sugary drinks is a leading contributor to the U.S. obesity crisis. We note with some irony that a boycott – as ill-considered and unproductive as it might be – could make the nation healthier. Anniston (Ala.) Star

Christie finds relief dissing high school nerd WASHINGTON – For such a smart politician, Chris Christie sure can be dumb. How stupid is it to go after an ally who could hurt you by hurting him first and where it hurts most: Revisiting his awkward teenage years? You, the governor of New Jersey, were too cool for school. Your political friend, David Wildstein, whom you appointed to a job at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, was not. In a corollary to “it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up,” Christie’s handling of Wildstein doesn’t tell us so much about the controversy swirling around the governor as it does about his cruel streak. He’s a bully who looks for an adversary who is bruised and punches his tender spot. Christie hit Wildstein below the belt at a news conference Jan. 9, just after he said he learned that the closing of several lanes of the George Washington Bridge might not have been part of a traffic study but a vendetta against a mayor who remained neutral in Christie’s re-election campaign. (“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” Bridget Anne Kelly, the governor’s deputy chief of staff, wrote in an email to Wildstein.) Christie was at pains to clear up any confusion about his so-called childhood friend, claiming that Wildstein was a nobody back when they attended Livingston High. “We were not even acquain-

VIEWS Margaret Carlson tances in high school,” Christie said. “We didn’t travel in the same circles in high school. You know, I was the class president and athlete. I don’t know what David was doing during that period of time.” Here’s where the stupid part comes in: What if Christie hadn’t gone after Wildstein in the most personal way possible right out of the gate? Until that news conference, Wildstein hadn’t done anything except lose his job and keep quiet about it. If Christie hadn’t then insulted him, he might have stayed quiet. But on Jan. 31, Wildstein charged through his lawyers that Christie knew about the bridge closing in real time – not months later, as the governor has said – and that his aides didn’t act alone. And then Christie got personal, petty and stupid again. While still denying Christie knew anything about the man-made traffic jam until he read about it in the paper, the governor’s staff piled on with more details about why Wildstein was such a loser in his earlier days. How small can Christie go? “As a 16-year-old kid, he sued over a local school board election,” the Christie camp’s memo to supporters said about Wildstein.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Only a short while ago, this might have been held as a sign of political greatness to come for a guy Christie once called “his eyes and ears” at the Port Authority. The memo also noted that Wildstein “was publicly accused by his high school social studies teacher of deceptive behavior,” with no further specifics. No doubt, a manhunt is under way in Essex County to find that teacher. I’m waiting for info that Wildstein fudged his response to how a bill becomes a law. Until Christie reopened adolescent wounds – the kind that are always one slight away from being recalled vividly – Wildstein hadn’t been a particularly sympathetic character. After the news conference put-down, my heart went out to him. Even now, if I see someone sitting alone at a restaurant, I remember the embarrassment of searching the school cafeteria for a spot to eat my steam-table hamburger when my friends had neglected to save me a place. The trick was to march straight ahead, even though I felt eyes burning a hole in my navy blue cardigan, acting like I wanted to sit with the other kids all along. Wildstein didn’t have the option of faking it after Christie’s attack. Dredging up someone’s days as an unpopular kid is especially painful if, as a grownup, that person has left those days behind. Whatever Christie, the big man on campus, felt toward Wildstein in the 1970s, he had elevated the unpopular

kid he wouldn’t recognize in the yearbook to a plum job. Upon Wildstein’s resignation, the governor praised him as a “tireless advocate” for the state. Christie humiliated Wildstein without waiting to see what Wildstein was going to say or do. We’ll never know if an unprovoked Wildstein would have turned on Christie. He could have followed the path taken by Kelly, who earlier this week refused to turn over documents to investigators. She, of course, was fired but not publicly humiliated by Christie. By the time the Christie response was out, the governor was discharging his duties as host of the Super Bowl. The opening ceremony in Times Square, which should have been a triumphant moment, will be remembered for the loud boos amid the cheers. On Sunday, Christie answered no questions as he entered his box at MetLife Stadium in the company of his family, accompanied by the mixed blessing that is former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, his designated defender. Whatever happens next, we now know so much more about who Christie is. The email from the governor’s office ended with this: “Bottom line – David Wildstein will do and say anything to save David Wildstein.” As we said in high school, it takes one to know one. • Margaret Carlson is a Bloomberg View columnist.

McHENRY MAN GUILTY IN SEX CASE WOODSTOCK – A McHenry man was sentenced Friday to five years in prison for sexually abusing a young girl. Craig L. Tankson, 30, pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse in a plea deal that was accepted by McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather. According Craig L. to McHenry Tankson County Assistant State’s Attorney Kate Lenhard, sometime between August and October 2010, Tankson placed a young girl’s hand on his penis. The victim was 11 years old at the time. She was not a blood relative of Tankson’s, but was otherwise known to him, prosecutors said. As part of the deal, remaining allegations – including a more serious charge of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child charge – were dismissed. Tankson will receive credit for time served in McHenry County Jail since his arrest April 5, 2013. He also will be required to register for life as a sex offender.

Driver’s facility fully open Woodstock Secretary of State office repaired after accident By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – More than a month after a U-Haul truck drove through a portion of Woodstock’s Secretary of State building, closing part of the office, the facility is now fully operational. On Jan. 3, a U-Haul driver rammed into the building, causing extensive damage to the facility and closing the branch that issues driver’s licenses and driving records. No one was in the building at the time of the accident. The

branch reopened Feb. 4. The area of the build ing that issues titles, license plates and vehicle stickers was never closed. Motorists who needed a license or driving records had to travel to Elgin or Libertyville, according to Illinois Secretary of State spokesman Dave Druker. Woodstock driver service employees also were transferred to the Elgin and Libertyville locations, said Druker, who added they have returned to the Woodstock office. “This is probably the lon-

gest period we’ve been down with an incident involving the public,” Druker said. “It’s pretty rare.” While uncommon, there have been other incidents in the past where drivers have caused damage to Illinois Secretary of State buildings, Druker said. But nothing compared to the extent of the damage to the Woodstock office. “We always want to do the best possible service for the public,” he said. “We feel

According to a news release, the charges were filed as the result of the ongoing investigations of three separate incidents that oc-

curred at the church, 3500 Washington St., between June 2013 and this week. The male is charged as a juvenile for a June 2013 incident and a July 2013 incident with one count of criminal damage over to a place of worship, a Class 3 felony, and one count of theft over from a place of worship, a Class 2 felony.

LAKEMOOR: GARAGE BLAZE SPREADS TO HOME

WAUCONDA: CANCER FUNDRAISER

Fire leaves house uninhabitable Ice fishing derby to aid families By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – A family is displaced after a fire spread to their Lakemoor house from their attached garage, a fire official said. The McHenry Township Fire Protection District responded at 5:24 p.m. Friday to 811 Southside Ave. after receiving a call from a passerby that the attached garage was burning with flames visible, Battalion Chief Mike Majercik said. When the first unit arrived at the scene four minutes later, the garage was fully involved and the fire had spread to the house, he said.

The passerby had knocked on the door of the house and alerted the family to the fire, Majercik said. The family and their cats were able to get out with no injuries. Because there are no hydrants in the area, water tankers had to be brought in, and the fire was brought under control in about 45 minutes, he said. “The only difficulty that we had was it was very cold and there were no hydrants,” Majercik said. “It was very icy around the scene. McHenry Township assisted by salting the roads. A couple of firefighters slipped, but no one was injured.” The house is uninhabit-

able, and damage is in excess of $100,000, he said. The family had a place to stay, and did not require housing assistance. The fire appears to have started in the engine compartment of the homeowner’s pickup truck, Majercik said. He had arrived home about 15 minutes before the fire was reported. The McHenry Township Fire Protection District was assisted by the Wauconda Fire District, which brought a tanker. The fire departments that cover Hebron, Woodstock, Alqonquin, Richmond, Lake Villa and Fox Lake covered McHenry Township’s district while it responded to the fire.

McHENRY COUNTY: DRUNKEN DRIVING WITH CHILD IN CAR

8LOCAL BRIEF

Man gets probation after guilty plea

McHenry County Top 10 fugitive arrested

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge ordered intensive probation for a Harvard man who admitted to drunken driving stemming from an arrest in which he was more than twice the legal limit and driving with a child in the car. Jason A. Bowling, 33, blew a 0.229 at the time of his arrest, Assistant State’s Attorney David Metnick said. Three months after his arrest

in McHenry County, Bowling was arrested on another DUI in Wisconsin. Charges in Fontana, Wis. are still pending. In that incident, he was driving with a 0.118 blood-alcohol content and again had his 9-year-old son in the car, Metnick said. Bowling initially was charged by Harvard police on March 30, 2012, with a misdemeanor driving under the influence, but prosecutors later enhanced it to a felony upon learning the child was in the car.

Bowling previously pleaded guilty to aggravated driving under the influence, a Class 4 felony. McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham sentenced the man Friday. He was given 180 days in McHenry County Jail, will be put on electronic monitoring and will perform 200 hours of community service. Metnick asked the judge to sentence Bowling to three years in prison. Bowling told the judge he had been sober since August.

WOODSTOCK – A man accused of stealing clothing, household goods, electronics and a machete from a Woodstock store was arrested early Friday morning. Robert R. Willett, 28, made McHenry County’s Top 10 Most Wanted list after the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Apprehension Unit

• VANDALISM Continued from page B1 He also is charged with one count of burglary to a place of worship, a Class 1 felony, for the July 2013 incident. He remains a person of interest in the third act of vandalism that occurred this week when the statue of St. Patrick, a 6-foot-tall structure made of a bronze and metal mixture, was torn down, causing it to break in multiple places, Deputy Police Chief John Birk said. The church had surveillance video of the incident,

but police were unable to tell whether the person in the video was the 17-year-old arrested, he said. The boy has no connection to the church that Birk was aware of, but he was known to them through past police contact. A light post and two air conditioning units were damaged in June. The statue of St. Patrick also was broken in several places, including its fingers, which were found on the church roof. About a month later, the cross was ripped off the roof of the chapel and a locked box containing money designated for charity was broken into

and stolen. Light posts, air conditioning units, a picture and a window also were damaged. Repairs cost about $3,000 for the June incident and $5,000 for the July incident, Birk said. The teen will be detained at the Kane County Juvenile Detention Facility until his juvenile court appearance Tuesday. McHenry police are asking anyone who has knowledge of these incidents to call the criminal investigation division at 815-363-2599 or the anonymous tip line at 815-3632124.

“We’ve done this for a while now and everyone seems to really love it,” Beckwith said. “It’s a great event for everyone in the family.” Organizers ask attendees to bring five canned good items, which will go to the Wauconda Food Pantry at the end of the event. Registration for the derby can be completed at www. andrealynn.org/ice/index. html or at the event before the beginning of the competition. People can still fish or attend and donate without participating in the derby. Donations can also be made directly through the organization’s website.

learned he had left the county and possibly the state, according to a news release. Willett was wanted on a Woodstock Police Department arrest warrant obtained on Dec. 5 and an earlier Illinois Department of Corrections warrant for a parole violation. He was on parole because of an armed robbery conviction in McHenry County in 2007. The sheriff’s office and the

U.S. Marshal Service Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force took Willett into custody without incident at a home in Belvidere, the release said. He was taken to the McHenry County Jail where he is being held in lieu of a $20,000 bond. Willett is charged with felony theft. His next court date has not been set.

Brent Beckwith, executive director of the organization, said the Walk on Water event offers something for everyone. A derby competition is held for seasoned ice fishers, while clinics are available for children and beginners. He said it also is open to spectators who can take part in a silent auction for an Epting knife valued at $1,000. Prizes for competitions in the derby will be awarded and other raffles will take place.

Continued from page B1 Registered voters whose addresses or names have not changed since the last election do not have to reregister. Early voting for the primary begins March 3 and ends March 15. County voters this year will elect all statewide constitutional offices, their rep-

resentatives in the Illinois and U.S. houses of representatives, one U.S. senator and the 33rd District state senator. They also will elect two representatives to their McHenry County Board district and decide the countywide offices of county clerk, treasurer, sheriff and regional superintendent of schools. All county voters will face a binding referendum asking whether the Coun-

ty Board chairman should be popularly elected. Other governments with referendums on the ballot include Algonquin, Bull Valley, Fox Lake, Johnsburg District 12, Huntley Park District and Nunda Township. In neighboring Kane County, voters countywide will be asked to create a mental health board, and rural voters will be asked whether they want electric aggregation.

team symbolizes 1980 but that was the year I became fascinated with the luge. I used my yellow beanbag chair as my luge, laying straight on my back with the beanbag forming around my sides. Looking back, it had to be hilarious to see me “practicing” on it. When the sport involves an ice track and you don’t have one, “practicing” amounts to lying like a pencil, with the occasional slight twist and turn. Maybe it all stems from my Dorothy Hamill haircut back in 1976 but ﬁgure skating is my all time favorite, especially the pairs and ice dancing. I remember the night of the famous Torvill and Dean performance to “Bolero” in Sarajevo. At the start of every new Olympics (at least since the Internet), I make it a point to watch that routine and am still amazed by the perfection. If you get a chance, take a

look on YouTube. The quality of the video isn’t the best but the skating is. Another pair to YouTube is Gordeeva and Grinkov, the Russian couple that won gold in 1988 and 1994. Through their career, we all watched them fall in love, get married and become parents. To me, they embodied elegance and Russian pride, without any icy arrogance. This year ﬁgure skating expanded with the debut of the team competition. A few days ago I was explaining the scoring and different rounds to Son when he stopped me midsentence. “That is about forty-eight more seconds than I ever wanted to hear about Team Skating.” I am going to guess that he probably doesn’t want to review the differences between the Salchow, Lutz, axel and toe loop jumps either. The Winter Games also provided one of the best special correspondents to ever cover an athletic event, David Letterman’s mom. The combination of her good-hearted Indiana demeanor and Dave’s sarcasm made for very funny athlete interviews and Olympic updates. Bob Costas does a good job manning the coverage for NBC but I just don’t see him offering hot cocoa to a silver medalist the same way Dave’s mom did to Nancy Kerrigan. So drag out the old beanbag and get ready for the biathlon, women’s ice hockey, ski jumping and the start of alpine skiing. It’s going to be a fun two weeks. Have a good weekend! Autumn

REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

LOCAL SHOWTIMES

“The Lego Movie” STARRING: Will Arnett, Will Ferrell and Elizabeth Banks

PLOT: An ordinary Lego mini figure, mistakenly thought to be the Master Builder, is recruited to join an effort to stop an evil Lego tyrant from gluing the universe together. RATED: PG, for mild action and some rude, nose-thumbing humor TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes VERDICT: There are so many things to like about “The Lego Movie”: a great voice cast, clever dialogue and a handsome blend of stop-motion and CGI animation that feels lovingly retro, while still looking sharp in 21st-century 3-D. But the best thing about this movie, which was produced in full partnership with the Danish toymaker famous for its plastic-brick building system, is its subversive nature. While clearly filled with affection for – and marketing tie-ins to – the titular product that’s front and center, it’s also something of a sharp plastic brick flung in the eye of its corporate sponsor. “The Lego Movie” is an homage to the spirit of the iconoclast (i.e., the child). Its hero, ironically, is anything but a rule-breaker. Set in a world built entirely of Legos, the story revolves around construction worker Emmet Brickowski (voice of Chris Pratt), a tiny plastic Everyman who loves nothing better than following instructions. But when his Lego universe is threatened by an evil villain (Will Ferrell) who intends to glue all the world’s pieces – and its people – together, Emmet must join forces with a group of rebels to stop him. (In a nod to the term Lego uses to designate its in-house designers, these creative free spirits are known as “master builders.”) Guided by a leader who’s part Gandalf and part Morpheus (Morgan Freeman), this underground resistance movement consists of a fittingly motley crew: a punk-ish loner named Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks); her egotistical boyfriend, Batman (Will Arnett); a well-worn Lego spaceman figure from the mid-1980s (Charlie Day); and a robot-pirate hybrid named Metal Beard (Nick Offerman). The rest of the freedom fighters are a cheeky mix of Lego-sized historical personages (Abraham Lincoln, Shakespeare and Shaquille O’Neil) and co-branded comic book heroes (Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman and others). Keep an ear out for cameos by such stars as Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Billy Dee Williams, good-naturedly reprising his role as Lando Calrissian from the “Star Wars” trilogy. It’s hard not to have fun when the film (written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) is having such a good time with pop culture. “The Lego Movie” pokes fun at anyone who would argue that Lego products are, as one character puts it, “a highly sophisticated, interlocking brick system,” and not simply toys. But it also makes fun of itself, tweaking the conventions of narrative filmmaking, animation and Lego model-making itself. – The Washington Post

“Lone Survivor” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch

PLOT: Based on the failed June 28, 2005, mission Operation Red Wings. Four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd. RATED: R for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language TIME: 2 hours, 1 minute VERDICT: With all the talk about fact-based films and how accurate they should or shouldn’t be, it’s worth noting some stories are best brought to screen as simply and purely as

You love that

possible. This is especially true with a film like “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s expertly rendered account of a disastrous 2005 military operation in Afghanistan. War is messy, and politics are messy. But Berg has wisely chosen to focus pretty squarely on the action, and to present it as straightforwardly as possible. And he’s executed that approach with admirable skill, down to using autopsy reports to get the number of wounds a soldier suffered exactly right. “Lone Survivor” doesn’t have nearly the sweep of a major war film like Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.” But the action scenes – basically, one protracted, harrowing firefight – feel as realistic as any we’ve seen on the screen for some time. That firefight, for those unfamiliar with the story (Berg also penned the screenplay, based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell), took place June 28, 2005, in the craggy mountains of Afghanistan’s Kunar province. As part of Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fellow SEALS were positioned on a hillside, tracking a Taliban commander in the village below, when they suddenly encountered a few local shepherds. Their agonized decision on what to do with those shepherds, one of them a teenager, led to a string of events that ultimately resulted in 19 American deaths. Of course, the title, “Lone Survivor,” and the fact Luttrell is played by the movie’s star (Mark Wahlberg, in a strong and moving performance) tells you much of what’s going to happen from the get-go. But that doesn’t hurt the film’s immediacy and power. In fact, you may have a hard time sitting still. Berg opens with footage of real Navy SEAL training and the extremes it reaches – some might call it unnecessary and overly worshipful, but for people who don’t know a lot about the SEALS, it’s helpful and effective. We’re also given a sense of the lighthearted camaraderie at the military base, in between operations, as the men joke about wives and girlfriends back home, or compete in foot races. One of the SEALS worries about how to afford a wedding present for his bride. The veterans engage in a little good-natured ribbing of a new arrival – involving some silly dancing. But all lightness disappears suddenly, and for good. Soon, Luttrell is hunkered in the mountains with his comrades: Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt “Axe” Axelson (Ben Foster). All seems to be going well until the moment they encounter the villagers; the ensuing debate is a painful one. At the end, we see photos of the actual casualties of Operation Red Wings. It does not seem gratuitous, and no further explanation or exposition is given, or needed. Again, the best thing about Berg’s work here is its simplicity. – The Associated Press

“Monuments Men” STARRING: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett PLOT: An unlikely World War II platoon are tasked to rescue art masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their owners. RATED: PG-13, for some images of war violence and historical smoking TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: George Clooney, movie director, started out with so much promise. He began with two stories about television’s power, both to distort reality (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” about “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris) and to reveal it (“Good Night, and Good Luck,” about Edward R. Murrow). Neither was perfect, but the films showed tremendous potential, particularly the latter, with its thick clouds of paranoia and cigarette smoke. But Clooney has gone somewhat astray, with the football

�e �oves �ou.

comedy “Leatherheads,” the political thriller “The Ides of March” and now “The Monuments Men.” They’re not bad pictures, but nostalgia – made urgent in “Good Night” – suffocates the World War II caper “The Monuments Men” as it did the screwball ode “Leatherheads.” Clooney’s taste is very good, and in adapting Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter’s book by the same title about the Allied forces’ pursuit of art masterpieces stolen by Nazis, he has chosen a fascinating historical tale that also bears the intriguing question: What’s the price we’re willing to pay for art? But while a Michelangelo may be worth dying for, “The Monuments Men” is, at best, adequately priced as a movie ticket. Clooney, working from a script he penned with his frequent collaborator Grant Heslov, has fashioned his film as a traditional WWII flick, with a “Great Escape”-like score by Alexandre Desplat and a sentimental kind of soldierly chumminess. Only this band of brothers is more like an assembly of academics. A handful of museum curators and art experts have been gathered by art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) to investigate and retake the troves of artwork the Nazis have stolen for a mammoth German museum planned by Hitler. The platoon is ill-suited for war but bold in spirit: an art restorer (Matt Damon), an architect (Bill Murray), a sculptor (John Goodman), a British museum head (Hugh Bonneville), a theater producer (Bob Balaban) and a French painting instructor (Jean Dujardin). Some of the pairings are fitting: Clooney and Damon planning another heist (“Ocean’s Thirteen”); Dujardin and Goodman back on speaking terms (“The Artist”). In truth, more than 300 Allied servicemen and women worked in the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program in the final years of the war. They helped lead to the recovery of about 6 million objects (estimates vary). “The Monuments Men” is weighed down by dutifulness. It feels like it’s only a third act, lacking any buildup of tension or character development. When Stokes solemnly argues early in the film about risking life for the recovery of what he calls “the foundation of modern society,” the movie has presented its thesis statement, and settled any debate. – The Associated Press

“The Nut Job” STARRING: The voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser and Liam Neeson

PLOT: Surly, a curmudgeon, independent squirrel, is banished from his park and forced to survive in the city. Lucky for him, he stumbles on the one thing that may be able to save his life, and the rest of park community, as they gear up for winter – Maury’s Nut Store. RATED: PG for mild action and rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 26 minutes VERDICT: “The Nut Job” certainly looks nice. Colors are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn shades of trees in Liberty Park, in fictional Oakton City, where much of the action takes place. There’s a lovely moment where shimmering water reflects the leaves above. And the whole thing has a period feel – mid-20th century – which is appealing, though confusing, too, when you see characters break into what looks like very 21st-century dancing at one point. Like most animated films these days, “The Nut Job,” a joint Canadian-South Korean-U.S. production, trades on its celebrity voices, which here include Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recognizably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds like he could be on a Shakespearean stage. Not that you

could call this dialogue Shakespearean. Or even witty. This being a film about squirrels and their nuts, kids will enjoy the “nut” puns, and parents will groan. The story, based on Lepeniotis’ short film, “Surly Squirrel,” is simple: The animals in Liberty Park, ruled by a gruff raccoon (Neeson, of course) ominously just named Raccoon, are facing a severe nut shortage just as winter is approaching. Surly the squirrel (Arnett), who thinks only of himself, has somehow set fire to the winter stockpile. (Watch for the nice shot of popping corn kernels from an exploding tree – it will remind you there’s a reason you’re wearing those 3-D glasses.) But Surly doesn’t seem willing to help solve the situation, and he’s banished from the park to the city. There, he discovers a nut shop – cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you name it. If he can snag that booty, he’ll be golden for the winter, though that won’t necessarily help out his furry friends in the park, led by the feisty Andie (Heigl). Of course, there’s a big complication. A group of human lowlifes plotting a bank heist have their own connections to the nut stash, for reasons unrelated to nutrition. – The Associated Press

pact: Jason falls for sassy publisher Ellie (Imogen Poots); Daniel realizes he wants to be more than friends with Chelsea; and Mikey begins sleeping with his wife again. Though “Awkward Moment” is predictable, it’s not a complete disappointment. It’s satisfying for a lover of formulaic romcoms. There are amusing moments of absurdity involving Viagra and urination. And sweet bits, such as Jason’s surprise tour of Ellie’s dream Gramercy Park apartment. And there’s an attempt to inject some heaviness as Ellie’s father dies. But despite Jason and Ellie’s budding romance, Jason is a no-show at Ellie’s father’s funeral. As a result, Ellie cuts him off. But Gormican fails to show Jason’s efforts to get Ellie back and falls short of making Efron’s character anything but selfish and egocentric. So when Jason cries in front of a bookstore full of people while declaring Ellie’s “the one,” it’s unconvincing. Set against lofty talents like Jordan and Teller (fresh off the top Sundance award for his “Whiplash”), Efron comes off as little more than a pretty face. Luckily, his comedic timing is on target, though most of the jokes here are unnecessarily crass and forced. Each emerging actress possesses a refreshing charm and on-screen easiness. But Davis’ grace and lure, though she wasn’t completely believable as a romantic match for Teller’s Daniel, make her the one to watch. With much of the soundtrack consisting of 1980s new wave that would make John Hughes proud, the tunes are the only potential cult classic trait here. Well, that and tying everything up with a neat “love conquers all” bow. – The Associated

professes his love to a pert blonde who gave it up on the first night, it’s clear the story line of romantic comedy “That Awkward Moment” has gone too far. This is not because Efron’s leading lady isn’t captivating or that a fella can’t fall in love swiftly. But this revelatory moment required a compelling buildup – and an actor who could carry it out believably. For his first film, writer-director Tom Gormican attempts a chick flick from a male point of view. But unlike successful films of this kind, such as “High Fidelity,” “Awkward Moment” unfolds like a college thesis with a big budget. Jason (Efron) is a Manhattan pretty boy who designs book covers. He believes in having a “roster” of women and picks them up at bars and takes them home that night. Though he occasionally calls for round two, he keeps women at a safe, commitment-free distance. Miles Teller plays Jason’s quirky best friend, co-worker and fellow lothario, Daniel. Though he’s not as handsome as Jason, he has no problem hooking ladies with his wit and with the help of wing-woman Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). The third link in the guys’ crew is Mikey (Michael B. Jordan, “Fruitvale Station”), a doctor who married his college sweetheart at 23. He’s the voice of reason – level-headed, loyal and romantic. But when he finds out wife Vera (Jessica Lucas) is cheating on him, he can’t understand where his perfect life plan went wrong. Determined to lift their pal’s spirits, Jason and Daniel take Mikey to a bar and encourage him to become their lady-killing cohort as they all make a pact to stay relationship-free. Unfortunately, they all end up breaking the

Girl who takes to the stage leaves friend in the wings Dear Abby: My best friend, “Kyra,” joined the drama department at our school. She has made a lot of theater friends now and hangs out with them every day after school. She used to meet me occasionally at my locker after school, but no longer does so. The only time I see her, she’s with her theater friends, and I’m uncomfortable because I don’t know them and I’m shy. I’m trying to make friends with Kyra’s friends, but when I’m with her, she kind of ignores me and doesn’t try to include me as much as she could. It’s depressing that my best friend would rather hang out with other people than me. I’m missing her.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips What do I do? – Cast-off In

California Dear Cast-off: Kyra’s behavior is insensitive, but I don’t think you can change her. So the solution will be for you to become less emotionally dependent upon her. A way to do that would be to develop some outside interests of your own and start cultivating them. While Kyra might have a flair for drama, perhaps you might be more interested in sports, art, computers, etc. If you start to explore what ac-

tivities are available, it will provide you with a larger circle of acquaintances, and you’ll miss your friend less because you are filling your time with other things. Please give it a try. Dear Abby: Three times in the past week, I have been hugged by people who then informed me they were sick. At dinner last night, one friend blew his nose throughout the meal and then wanted to shake hands. Yuck! A little reminder during cold season: If you are sick, “coming down with something” or even just “fighting off a little bug,” don’t hug others. Don’t give a little peck on the cheek or shake

hands. You can politely mention you are “a bit under the weather and don’t want to share.” Other people won’t be offended or think you are being standoffish. They will be grateful for your thoughtfulness. – Trying To Stay

Healthy Dear Trying: That’s good advice, if folks are willing to heed it. I can only add flu vaccinations, frequent handwashing and a small bottle of hand sanitizer can lessen the chances of getting these viruses when our friends are in a state of denial, and it wasn’t “an allergy.” Dear Abby: I’m not particularly attractive, pretty or girly. I don’t think I’m what boys are looking for, so

I tend to not be too involved with them. I have a lot of male friends, but I have never had a first kiss, a first date, etc. Yesterday, a guy friend asked me out. I was shocked. I saw him as only a friend and never thought of him as a boyfriend, so I said no. He acted like it wasn’t a big deal. Things aren’t awkward between us, but I think I may have hurt his feelings or his self-esteem. After school – he’d asked me out after my third class – I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I don’t regret my decision, but I’m worried about him. Can you help me? – Concerned In Eugene,

Ore.

Dear Concerned: It might help to recognize that people ask each other out for a variety of reasons, which can include needing a date for an event, romantic interest or just wanting to hang out with someone who is good company. Not knowing your friend, I can’t guess what his reason was when he asked you out. Because you think you may have hurt his feelings, make a point of telling him you hope you didn’t. And mention since you are new to the idea of dating, you think you may owe him an apology because you care about him as a friend. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

It’s nuts to avoid nuts because of worries about fats Dear Dr. K: I love to snack on nuts, but they’re high in fat. Do I need to give them up? Dear Reader: You most certainly do not need to give up your beloved snack. They are a very healthy food if taken in moderation. I always loved to eat nuts as a kid, but I kept hearing they were full of fat – and fat was bad. But as we’ve discussed before, there are “good fats” and “bad fats.” You need to eat the good fats, and nuts are full of them. Nuts also are packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Fat does contain, ounce for ounce, more calories than carbohydrates and protein. So that’s an issue. If I ate as many nuts as I’d like to every day, I’d be obese, and being obese is not healthy. That’s why I said snacking on nuts in moderation is healthy. Earlier studies have shown eating nuts lowers LDL (“bad” cholesterol), raises HDL (“good” cholesterol) and also lowers blood pressure. Since all of these are good for the heart, it made sense that eating nuts regularly but in

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff moderation might reduce heart problems and death from heart disease. Recently published results from two long-running Harvard Medical School studies indicate this indeed may be the case. The diets and health histories from nearly 120,000 participants in the Nurses’ Health Study and the Physicians’ Health Study were analyzed. The researchers classified the participants into six categories that ranged from never eating nuts to eating them seven or more times a week. (Peanuts, which are actually legumes, counted as nuts in this study.) Those who ate nuts seven or more times a week had a 20 percent lower rate of death than those who did not eat nuts. They had lower rates of death from heart disease, lung disease and cancer. Are certain nuts better than others? The health

benefits appear to hold true for a variety of nuts, including walnuts, almonds, peanuts and pistachios. So eat your favorite. To incorporate more nuts into your diet: • Spread nut butter on your morning toast. • Sprinkle chopped nuts on cereal or yogurt. • Toss nuts into a salad or stir-fry. • Top fruit with nut butter. To return to the problem with nuts and calories: You can keep the calories in check with small portion sizes. In fact, research has shown frequent nut eaters are less likely to gain weight. Nuts are high in protein and fiber, which decrease hunger. Perhaps because nuts are filling, nut eaters eat less overall. Of course, if you like nuts as much as I do, it isn’t easy to limit yourself to small portion sizes. But you can find nuts that are packaged in relatively small cellophane packets. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

‘X FACTOR’ CALLS IT QUITS

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Saturday, February 8, 2014 • Section B • Page 10

“The X Factor” is ending after three seasons. Fox and the show’s production companies announced Friday that the U.S. edition of the singing competition won’t be coming back this fall. “X Factor” head judge and creator-executive producer Simon Cowell will instead return to the U.K. version of the show later this year. “I’ve had a fantastic time over the last 12 years, both on ‘The X Factor’ and ‘American Idol,’ ” Cowell said in a statement. “And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public – most of the time!” The acerbic judge initially predicted that “X Factor” would be a major hit before its 2011 debut, but the show never garnered stellar ratings, which continued to dip in last year’s third season.

Carrie Underwood and 2 Olympians help connect N.Y. Fashion Week, Sochi

Jay Leno’s last ‘Tonight Show’ draws 14.6 million TV viewers Jay Leno’s farewell “Tonight Show” drew the late-night show’s biggest audience in more than 15 years, NBC said Friday. A total of 14.6 million viewers tuned in Thursday to see Leno wrap up his 22 years as host of “Tonight,” according to Nielsen company ratings released by NBC. The audience was the biggest since May 14, 1998, when Jerry Seinfeld appeared on “Tonight” to mark the end of his sitcom and nearly 15 million viewers tuned in. Leno’s goodbye to “Tonight” was watched by 2.7 million more viewers than when Leno left in May 2009 to make way for Conan O’Brien’s short-lived stint as host. That telecast had 11.9 million viewers. Billy Crystal, Leno’s first guest when he took “Tonight” over from Johnny Carson in 1992, was the final guest on Thursday. Garth Brooks was the show’s last performer. Jimmy Fallon, Leno’s successor at “Tonight,” also had a good Thursday. “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” was watched by 6 million viewers, the show’s biggest audience since a 2012 Super Bowl special telecast drew nearly 6.1 million. For a regular weeknight show, the post-Leno finale represents the biggest “Late Night” audience since David Letterman’s final appearance as its host in June 1993 was watched by 7.5 million viewers. “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,” which is relocating from Burbank to New York, begins airing Feb. 17.

A world away from Sochi, New York Fashion Week managed a connection or two to the Olympics. Skier Lindsey Vonn, the 2010 Olympic gold medalist, and figure skater Sasha Cohen, also an Olympian, helped kick off the shows in New York by attending the Red Dress Collection, an annual Fashion Week event that draws attention to heart disease. And while Ralph Lauren’s runway show in New York won’t take place until next Thursday, Team USA was outfitted for the opening ceremonies in Sochi in his red, white and blue designs, including sweaters bearing stars, stripes, a flag and Olympic rings. Elsewhere as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week continued Friday with its second day of runway shows, one designer, Carmen Marc Valvo, talked about dressing curvy women like Queen Latifah, and another, Peter Som, cited a style muse from the Swingin’ ’60s, Jane Berkin, and got a summery visit from Carrie Underwood.

Doctor diagnoses man with rare condition with help from TV’s ‘House’ If you’re unlucky enough to be stricken with a rare medical condition, you’d better hope your doctor watches the right television show. That was the lesson for one German man with severe heart failure and a puzzling mix of symptoms including fever, blindness, deafness and enlarged lymph nodes, which baffled doctors for months. The 55-year-old man was diagnosed only when he was referred to Dr. Juergen Schaefer, a fan of the U.S. television medical drama, “House.” “After five minutes, I knew what was wrong,” said Schaefer, who works at the Center for Undiagnosed Dis-

eases in Marburg, north of Frankfurt. He said the man’s symptoms matched up almost perfectly with a patient on an episode in which the fictional Dr. Gregory House, played by British actor Hugh Laurie, identified cobalt poisoning as the cause.

Clint Eastwood saves golf director from choking on piece of cheese Clint Eastwood added another starring role at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am – life saver. Eastwood attended a volunteer party on the eve of the PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese. The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center. “I was drinking water and eating these little appetizers, threw down a piece of cheese and it just didn’t work,” John said Friday. “I was looking at him and couldn’t breathe. He recognized it immediately and saved my life.” Eastwood is a prominent figure at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, formerly as an amateur contestant and now as chairman of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation. It has raised over $100 million for charity as the host of the PGA Tour event. He’s often in the CBS tower on the weekend and presents the trophy to the winner, a list that includes Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker in recent years. The Hollywood star wasn’t expecting an additional duty this week. “I looked in his eyes and saw that look of panic people have when they see their life passing before their eyes,” Eastwood told The Carmel Pine Cone. “It looked bad.” He said it was the first time he had used the Heimlich maneuver.

BOYS BASKETBALL: McHENRY 61, CL SOUTH 52

CARY-GROVE 47, PRAIRIE RIDGE 38

Warriors put it all together

Gregoire can’t miss

By MAUREEN LYNCH sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – During the second half of the boys basketball season, McHenry has relied on small victories more often than the Warriors would prefer. They’d win two quarters but drop the game. They’d get hot from the field only to go cold again. They’d shoot well consistently but turn the ball over too often. Moral wins do not feel better than what they really are: losses. So McHenry’s 61-52 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory against Crystal Lake South on Friday felt a little sweeter. In nearly every facet, it may have been the Warriors’ most complete game of the new year. “It’s easy to say we’re right there but … you keep talking about that and it becomes a broken record,” McHenry coach Tim Paddock said. “We talked the last couple days about sharing the passion, having the enthusiasm. And this was a great high school basketball game tonight.” The Warriors (10-10 overall, 3-5 FVC Valley) were hot from the arc early. Guard Cody Freund buried a 3-pointer off a pass from guard Kyle Postal with 3 minutes left in the first quarter to put McHenry up 9-2, and sophomore guard Nick Bellich nailed a long three at the 2:30 mark and gave a spirited fist pump, indicative of the energy the Warriors maintained for the rest of the game. McHenry guard Greg Johnson (game-high 17 points) hit a pair of 3s in the second quarter and a long jumper that extended the Warriors’ lead to 17-7 with 5:55 left. The shot erased the first mistake McHenry had made – a turnover with 6:26 left in the second quarter. The Warriors finished the first half with just three giveaways and tallied 10 assists – a nod to their patience.

Cary-Grove junior Jason Gregoire is fouled by Prairie Ridge senior Max Ayers as he drives toward the basket during the fourth quarter Friday in Cary. C-G beat Prairie Ridge, 47-38.

Guard scores 23 points in 2nd half to lead FVC Valley victory By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – As inefficient as CaryGrove’s offense was in the first half against Prairie Ridge, it did provide something positive. The Trojans, trailing by 10 at halftime, made adjustments of what had not worked, and guard Jason Gregoire took over from there. Gregoire, who was 1 for 5 with two points in the first half, did not miss a field-goal attempt after the break. Gregoire’s 23 second-half points led C-G to a 47-38 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory Friday night at Elroy Fitzgerald Gymnasium. Gregoire hit a 3-pointer 30 seconds into the third quarter, his first of five 3s in the second half. He hit four 3s and had a dunk for 14 thirdquarter points.

“After I hit the first 3, it was kind of open season,” said Gregoire, a 6-foot-3 junior. “That really got my confidence up and it just raised our energy. “We played a great second half as a team. We knew we could break [Prairie Ridge’s] zone, but we just needed to knock down the shots. I happened to be the guy who was knocking down the shots in the second half.” Gregoire finished 8 of 12 from the field with a game-high 25 points. He and guard Tyler Szydlo (13 points) had all but nine of the total for C-G (12-9 overall, 5-3 FVC Valley). “I’ve seen [Gregoire] enough times in practice, when he’s going to get on a roll,” Szydlo said. “He carried us in the third quarter.”

Rockford to Sochi not as far as you think ROCKFORD – Nestled about a 50-foot slap shot from the frozen Rock River, the Riverview Ice House feels a million miles from the Olympics.

PAGE C6 large signs clearly outlining public skating rules from the local park district. On Friday, about two dozen players for the Rockford IceHogs filled the rink’s front lobby 15 minutes before practice. Some stood on skates as they lifted pads onto their shoulders and hooked straps across their chest. Others grabbed

VIEWS Tom Musick seats in blue plastic chairs and hunched forward to tie their laces. The topic of conversation was alligators versus snakes. Which would win a fight? Certainly, alligators possessed the size advantage, no one could argue that. But snakes were sneaky and vicious and not to be trusted. Debate was lively. Snakes seemed to be in the lead. A formal vote would have provided more clarity, but time was up. Practice was about to start. The players marched past the sticker machine and onto the ice. On the other side of the world, the Olympic opening ceremonies had started. Before long, six former

IceHogs would be in Sochi, Russia, to represent their countries and pursue gold medals in front of a global audience. How strange to think that they once dressed in this lobby. Let’s start with defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson and forward Marcus Kruger, members of Team Sweden and alums of the Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate. Scan the roster of Team Finland, and you’ll see another pair of former IceHogs: goaltender Antti Niemi and forward Petri Kontiola. Toss in forward Mathis Olimb (Norway) and goaltender Alexander Salak (Czech Republic), and that marks a half-dozen Olympians playing in Sochi who once wore an IceHogs sweater. Is it crazy to think today’s IceHogs could follow a similar path? “No, I don’t think it’s too crazy,” said Adam Clendening, a 21-yearold defenseman who has played

for Team USA in several events, including the World Under-18 Championship and the Six Nations Tournament. “It’s the goal of everybody,” said Phillip Danault, a 20-year-old center from Quebec who skated for Team Canada last summer at the World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia. “Maybe it’s one opportunity to get the call up for me again,” said Joakim Nordstrom, a 21-year-old center who helped lead Sweden to a gold medal at the 2012 World Junior Championship. “And try to stay up there and have a few good years, and then it’s time for the Olympics again. “There are so many good players out there. It’s a small chance, but the chance is still there. That’s a dream that I have, to play in the Olympics some day.”

COYOTES 2, BLACKHAWKS 0

Hawks fans on road no help in shutout loss By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – A sell-out crowd dominated by Blackhawks fans who stood and cheered throughout the national anthem and booed when Jonathan Toews was knocked to the ice made the Hawks feel at home at Jobing.com Arena on Friday night. They never were able to use it to their advantage though, as bad penalties, bad breaks and missed opportunities proved costly in a 2-0 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. Keith Yandle scored on a power play 1:09 into the game and Radim Vrbata scored on a 5-on-3 advantage late in the second period to end the Blackhawks (35-11-14, 84 points) otherwise invigorating six-game road trip (3-1-2) on a sour note. After falling behind, 1-0, in the first 1:09 of the game and 2-0 after two periods, the Black-

hawks – with the Blackhawks partisans in the crowd of 17,525 chanting, ‘‘Let’s go Hawks’‘ – had enough opportunities to make a run. Bryan Bickell and Andrew Shaw in particular had point-blank shots in the third period. But Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith (29 saves) stymied the Hawks at every turn. A late power-play opportunity fizzled. The Blackhawks were playing without forward Patrick Kane, who was in Buffalo, N.Y. for his grandfather’s funeral, and injured defenseman Johnny Oduya. But they came into the game with momentum after winning three of their past four games – and were looking to finish strong entering a 20-day break for the Olympics. Fast starts had been a mark of the Hawks during the latter stage of the trip, but not this time. Brandon Bollig was called for tripping 61 seconds into the game and it took the Coyotes only seven seconds to

take advantage. Yandle onetimed a slap shot from the point that ringed in off the left post to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead just 1:09 into the game. Bollig did not return after his penalty. It was only the second power-play goal the Hawks had allowed in their past 11 games (32-of-33). The Hawks controlled play in the second half of the first period and much of the second period. But one of their many flurries worked against them when Brandon Saad crashed into Coyotes goalie Mike Smith on an offensive rush. Saad was called for goaltender interference and in a scrum between both teams that ensued, Michal Rozsival was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct to give the Coyotes a 5-on-3. Radim Vrbata made the Hawks pay, beating Corey AP photo Crawford from the slot for a 2-0 lead with 1:31 left in the second The Phoenix Coyotes’ Keith Yandle (3) celebrates his goal against the Blackhawks with teammates in the period. first period Friday night in Glendale, Ariz.

A-Rod accepts suspension By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

The White Sox signed former St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Mitchell Boggs to a one-year, $1.1 million contract Friday.

WHITE SOX

Ex-Cards, Rockies reliever Boggs signs By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com The White Sox agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.1 million deal with right-hander Mitchell Boggs, a proven reliever with postseason experience who fell on difficult times last season. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Boggs, who will be 30 this season, had a good three-year run with the St. Louis Cardinals as a setup man before control problems in 2013 left him bouncing around with the Cardinals, Rockies and three minor-league teams. Boggs posted a 3.08 ERA between 2010 and 2012 with the Cardinals, including a 2.21 ERA over 731/3 innings in 2012 – tying a franchise record for innings by a right-handed reliever. He was given a chance to be the closer when Jason Motte went on the disabled list early last season, struggled, and was traded to the Rockies on July 8. He posted a 8.10 ERA over 231/3 innings between the Cardinals and Rockies last year. He did finish on a better note, allowing three runs over 82/3 innings in September.

By the numbers Mitchell Boggs’ career statistics: W L ERA SV SVO 13 15 4.12 6 16

Source: MLB.com Boggs will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season, a key reason he appealed to the Sox. The Mets, Phillies, Indians, Mariners and Cubs were among the teams also rumored to be interested in Boggs after he was non-tendered by the Rockies. With 17 postseason appearances with the Cardinals (he was 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA over 161/3 innings), Boggs joins Ronald Belisario and Scott Downs among the group of newly acquired, experienced pitchers in the Sox bullpen, which lost closer Addison Reed in a trade for third base prospect Matt Davidson in December and Jesse Crain and Matt Thornton in trades last July. To make room for Boggs on the 40-man roster, the Sox outrighted right-hander Deunte Heath to Triple-A Charlotte. Heath will attend spring training as a non-roster invitee.

Rockford represented well at Sochi Games • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Regardless of whether the Olympians play for Sweden or Finland or Norway or the Czech Republic, each former IceHog represents a part of Rockford. IceHogs coach Ted Dent never has pegged any player as a surefire future Olympian. He prefers a narrow focus, as will be the case this weekend with back-to-back home games against the Iowa Wild and Utica Comets. Still, Dent admitted, six Olympians was no small feat for the franchise.

“It makes us proud to have a little bit of an impact on their hockey careers,” Dent said. “It’s good to see.” Less clear was which hockey team would win gold in Sochi. The IceHogs’ current roster includes 13 Canadians, 10 Americans and three Swedes. Care to guess next week’s debate topic?

NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez accepted his season-long suspension from Major League Baseball on Friday, the longest penalty in the sport’s history related to performance-enhancing drugs. The decision came almost four weeks after arbitrator Fredric Horowitz issued his decision largely upholding the penalty issued to the New York Yankees third baseman last summer by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. Rodriguez repeatedly had proclaimed his innocence and sued MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association in federal court to overturn the penalty. But 27 days after Horowitz’s decision, the three-time AL MVP withdrew the lawsuit and a previous action filed in October claiming MLB and Selig were engaged in a “witch hunt” against him. Rodriguez

became the 14th and final player to accept a suspension after baseball’s investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. “I think it’s a good move for him,” former commissioner Fay Vincent said. “A-Rod had no chance legally, Alex and the comRodriguez missioner got his authority validated.” MLB issued a low-key statement calling the decision to end the litigation “prudent.” “We believe that Mr. Rodriguez’s actions show his desire to return the focus to the play of our great game on the field and to all of the positive attributes and actions of his fellow major league players,” the sport said. “We share that desire.” Rodriguez had angered many of his fellow players by suing his own union in an at-

tempt to avoid a suspension. “Alex Rodriguez has done the right thing by withdrawing his lawsuit,” the union said in a statement. After Horowitz issued his decision Jan. 11, Rodriguez put out a defiant statement proclaiming “no player should have to go through what I have been dealing with” and promising “I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players’ contracts and rights are protected.” Also on Friday, Rodriguez’s lawyers sued the New York Daily News, two of its reporters and former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik for defamation. Joseph Tacopina said in a complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that reporters Nathaniel Vinton and Michael O’Keefe “engineered” the filing of a disciplinary complaint by Kerik “so that they could publish a negative article about Tacopina” in December.

Gibson earns teammates’ respect

Prosecutors lose bid for Hernandez’s phone calls FALL RIVER, Mass. – A judge rejected a request Friday by prosecutors in ex-New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez’s murder case for his jailhouse phone recordings, then ordered them to turn over to the defense copies of calls they acknowledged already having. Judge Susan Garsh said prosecutors did not make a sufficient case for her to order the Bristol County sheriff to release the recordings, but she is allowing them to make the request anew. She said they must provide more information about what led them to believe the recordings are relevant to the case. Prosecutors also are seeking records of Hernandez’s jailhouse visits, including from his fiancee and cousin, both of whom face charges in connection with the case.

Spieth, Walker share lead after 2 rounds at Pebble

jcowley@suntimes.com OAKLAND, Calif. – Joakim Noah doesn’t just hand out compliments. Respect is earned for the Bulls All-Star center. So when asked about the player Taj Gibson has become for the Bulls this season, Noah just smiled and said two words: “Hard hat.’’ Basically, the anti-Carlos Boozer. If there were differences to be made between Boozer and Gibson, they once again showed themselves on Next this West Coast trip. Boozer – right or wrong – made Bulls at L.A. headlines this week, letting Lakers, 2:30 p.m. it be known that he was unhappy with his playing time, Sunday, ABC, or there lack of, in the fourth AM-1000 quarter of games. A practice that rarely happens in the Tom Thibodeau coaching era, and one that left Thibodeau being brutally honest of why Boozer was sitting for Gibson when games were on the line. “I have to do it based on performance, and that’s how I’m making my decisions,’’ Thibodeau said. “That’s how I’ll always make my decisions.’’ Then came Thursday night in Oakland, and a key game of the six-game road trip against the Golden State Warriors. There was Boozer, coincidentally fresh off some lategame heroics with a key basket in the win over the Phoenix Suns two nights earlier, just minutes before tip, warming up in the locker room before the introductory run-out for the visiting team. “Sort of a freakish sort of thing,’’ Thibodeau said. “[Boozer] was jumping around before the game in the locker room getting ready to come out, and tweaked something in his calf.’’ Two things: One, it was good to know that Boozer actually still jumps. Two, it was the same calf injury that cost Boozer games last month, so don’t be surprised if he’s going to miss some time. But it also meant Thibodeau grabbing Gibson just minutes before the game and letting him know he was starting. “Hard hat’’ time. All Gibson did was respond with 26 points and 13 rebounds, while putting in 46 minutes

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Jimmy Walker and Jordan Spieth thrived in Crosby Clambake conditions Friday at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Walker made some tough par saves and wound up bogey-free at Spyglass Hill with a 3-under-par 69. Spieth was down the coast at Monterey Peninsula, where he called the birdie on his final hole the best of his life. He’s only 20, but it was a proud moment. They were tied for the lead going into the third round, one shot to par ahead of Hunter Mahan.

Allen ties Champions Tour record with 12-under 60

The Bulls’ Taj Gibson makes an off balance shot next to the Golden State Warriors’ Marreese Speights (left) and Klay Thompson on Thursday in Oakland, Calif. in the loss. All he continues to do is make the amnesty option the Bulls have on Boozer this offseason a lot easier to swallow. “I’ve just been continuing to work on my game,’’ Gibson said of his growth as a scorer this season. “I feel like I can still get a lot better to help my team. But the thing for me is I don’t even worry about the points. I worry about what I can do to help my team win. Learn from each game, and move on.’’ That’s why when Thibodeau talks about his players “staying in that circle,’’ Gibson is comfortably nestled dead center. Ask him if he’d rather start than come off the bench? He doesn’t care. Ask him about being on the court in crunchtime? Not a concern. For Gibson it’s just win games and get better. His career-best 12.5 points a game this season is an afterthought. Excuse Thibodeau if he has adoption papers ready for his big man. Taj Thibodeau has a nice ring to it.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Michael Allen matched the Champions Tour record with a 12-under-par 60 in the Allianz Championship, finishing the first round with an eagle and 10 birdies.

BOYS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 59, DUNDEE-CROWN 40

Red Raiders have answers for D-C Huntley moves to 7-0 in Valley By ANDY SCHMIDT sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – There is a lot of attention always given to Huntley senior forward Amanze Egekeze. On Friday night in a 59-40 home victory over Dundee-Crown, the Red Raiders proved they can succeed even when Egekeze isn’t having a big start. The victory kept Huntley undefeated in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division and moved it one step closer to a division title.

Huntley (15-4 overall, 7-0 FVC Valley) was able to jump out to a lead in the first half. The Red Raiders led 3020 at halftime, with Egekeze taking only one shot. The second half was a much different story, with Egekeze taking control of the game and scoring 14 of his team-high 18 points over the final 16 minutes. Zach Gorney added 16 points and said the fact teams focus on Egekeze so much gives him the opportunity to have a huge game. “When they double-team Amanze, it leaves me wide open a lot. They have all their attention on Amanze, and it leaves me open down low where I can score, too,” Gorney said. Gorney added that the team’s balance is why they are doing so well

this season. “We have a lot of guys who score, not just Amanze,” Gorney said. “If they are holding Amanze down, we got other guys who can score too.” Huntley coach Marty Manning said the Zach Gorney team’s play in a previous game led him to encourage a different plan of attack. “One of the things we learned from the Barrington game is that we had a lot of guys who were open and didn’t take shots, so we made it a point of emphasis in practice that we need to be prepared to shoot when teams double-team Amanze,” Man-

ning said. “Kyle (Slonka) made some big 3-pointers in the first half and Zach (Gorney) hit some shots too. I was happy with the balance of our offense.” D-C (5-15, 1-7) had its chances, including during an 8-0 run in the second quarter that pulled the Chargers within 28-20. But they could never draw any closer. Kiwaun Seals scored 18 points to lead the Chargers. D-C coach Lance Huber said his team struggled against the height of the Red Raiders. “We’re not big, and they are, and their big guys ate us up,” Huber said. “We didn’t have an answer for them. If they are going to shoot the ball like that (making six 3-pointers), they are going to be really tough to beat.”

Players, including Cary-Grove’s Tyler Szydlo (left) and Jason Gregoire (right) and Prairie Ridge’s Ryan Gilbert (25) and Michael Bradshaw (behind), go for the ball during the third quarter Friday in Cary. C-G won, 47-38.

Prairie Ridge holds off C-G down stretch • GREGOIRE Continued from page C1 Trojans coach Ralph Schuetzle moved Szydlo inside in C-G’s four-out, one-in offense for the second half and got Gregoire to the left wing, one of his favorite spots to shoot. C-G made 5 of 19 field goals in the first half and was 10 of 12 in the second. “We didn’t know where to put [Gregoire], he wasn’t getting many looks in the first half,” Schuetzle said. “Tyler’s so versatile, he can play the 5 or the 1. We have to give credit for Tyler’s ability to go inside and Jason got in the zone and

he was kind of like ‘I’m taking this game over.’ [Gregoire] was outstanding.” Prairie Ridge (12-10, 3-5) tied the score at 34-34 on Steven Ticknor’s 3 with 3:35 remaining, but Gregoire hit his last 3 with 3:05 to go and C-G led the rest of the way. Wolves guard Michael Bradshaw hit five 3s and kept Prairie Ridge ahead through the third quarter with eight points. He finished with a team-high 19. The Wolves got eight from Bradshaw and six points from Jack Berg while building a 23-13 halftime lead. “[Cary-Grove] just picked up their pressure a little bit and only gave us one

shot [in the second half],” Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card said. “You have to find a way to scrap and get some other buckets when they’re playing good defense. If you don’t shoot the ball better than that, you better have 10 offensive rebounds.” The Wolves hit 5 of 17 shots in the second half and were outrebounded, 12-6, by the Trojans. “We went back to our [man-to-man] press to make them play a little faster,” Schuetzle said. “[Michael] Krich got a big steal and [Nick] Franz got a tip when they were trying to come back. Those were big turnovers.”

CL South trailed by only 5 points at halftime • WARRIORS Continued from page C1 “We felt good right away,” Johnson said. “Being up early just gives you some morale through the rest of the game, and then we’re not battling back all the time.” South (14-7, 3-5) closed the gap to 24-

21, thanks in part to five points from forward Chris Mahoney (team-high 11 points), and trailed 26-21 at halftime. Bellich hit two 3s and Freund added his second to put McHenry ahead 37-26 with 4:54 left in the third, and South never got within seven points again. Mahoney and guard Collin Wagner knocked down threes during a 10-3

run in the middle of the fourth to cut South’s deficit to 49-42, but three quick McHenry field goals nixed the rally. “McHenry kind of has our number,” said South coach Matt LePage, whose team lost by one point in the first meeting on Jan. 10. “ … They executed and made us pay for every little mistake.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOHNSBURG 68, WOODSTOCK NORTH 52

Fast start sends Skyhawks past Thunder in FVC Fox win By CHRIS CASEY sports@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – It was one of those nights when everything went right in the first half for the Johnsburg boys basketball team, as they defeated Woodstock North, 68-52, Friday night.

physical game,” Ridout said. “Our focus was to get the boards and push the pace. If we were running up the court quick, they wouldn’t have enough time to set their defense up. I was able to take advantage of some easy looks in the first half.” The Skyhawks (6-16 overall, 4-5 FVC Fox) outscored the Thunder 41-20 in the first half, coming out with energy to start that was clearly not there for Woodstock North. Thunder

coach Steve Ryan believed that the first few minutes really set a tone for this game. “We need to come out and match the intensity level,” said Ryan. “The first couple minutes went fine, but once they made a couple easy baskets, we completely went away from our game plan. From there, we just start doing things we normally do not do.” A couple of bright spots for the Thunder (6-16, 2-5) were point guard Josh Jandron and

forward Nick Herscha, who led North with 17 apiece. Jandron knew it would be a tough battle against the Skyhawks, who played a 2-3 zone the entire game. “Most teams play zone against us,” Jandron said. “We have had trouble shooting the ball this year and we got a little carried away once the lead got big.” Jandron was able to hit a team-high two 3-pointers, going 5 for 7 from the foul line

as well. He hit the first basket of the game, a 3, which gave the Thunder their only lead of the night. Coming out of the halftime break, the Thunder had a spurt to cut the Skyhawk lead to 16. But on two separate occasions, Ridout knocked down key 3-pointers to stop each North run. “We started to get complacent at the beginning of the second half,” Ridout said.

Regional overview: The state series begins Saturday with regional competitions across the state. The top three place winners at regionals qualify to wrestle at sectional tournaments next weekend. Regionals are also a qualifier for the dual team state tournament for the winning teams. For the top area wrestlers, regionals is just part of the process they have to go through to make it to sectionals and then state. For many others, it’s a chance to be a sectional qualifier for the first time with a chance to qualify for state. The third-place matches should be some of the most exciting at all of the regionals with the winners advancing and the losers staying home. In Class 1A, Alden-Hebron, takes over hosting duties after Harvard moved up to 2A. A-H’s Colten Cashmore will look to advance to sectionals again after qualifying as a freshman last season. Qualifiers will advance to the Byron Sectional. In Class 2A, all of the local teams will be at the Hampshire Regional, with the exception of Marengo, which will be at Belvidere. Hampshire qualifiers will advance to the Antioch Sectional, with Belvidere qualifiers moving on to the Pontiac Sectional. Crystal Lake Central has won a regional championship every year since wrestling moved to three classes in the 2008-09 season. After winning the FVC Tournament Feb. 1, the Tigers are the prohibitive favorite to make it six consecutive regional championships. McHenry will host a Class 3A regional that includes Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge. The top team is Deerfield, which is ranked No. 11. Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South and McHenry are all ranked as honorable mentions. Area wrestlers earned the top seed in 10 weight classes at McHenry, including four for C-G, three for South, two for Prairie Ridge and one for the host Warriors. After taking fourth at conference with a depleted lineup, McHenry gets back two of its top wrestlers in Luis Hernandez at 220 and Cam Pait at 160. Both are looking to qualify for state for the first time. Hernandez is undefeated on the season with 29 wins. Pait lost in the consolation semifinals to just miss out on qualifying for state last season. South’s Eric Barone is the top seed at 145, which looks to be the toughest weight class in the regional. Seven of the 145-pounders have more than 20 wins, including Barone (32-4), No. 2 seed Brandon Arteaga (27-3) of Lake Zurich, No. 3 seed Connor Boundy (24-13) of Barrington, No. 4 seed Brady Glantz (27-7) of Deerfield, McHenry’s Carter Herber (28-10), Buffalo Grove’s Jake Siebert (26-8) and Stevenson’s Robert Pavlovies (23-13). Dundee-Crown, Huntley and Jacobs will compete at the DeKalb Regional.

BOYS BASKETBALL: RICHMOND-BURTON 58 HARVARD 35

Rockets cruise to lopsided victory Hornets 2 of 23 from behind arc By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – It was obvious early on that points would not come easily in the Big Northern Conference East Division boys basketball game between Richmond-Burton and Harvard on Friday night. The Rockets made things difficult all night for Harvard and, because of that, were able to have a relaDanny tively off offenRygiel sive night in their 58-35 win on senior night. The Rockets missed 21 shots in the first half yet still managed to lead, 29-18, mainly because of their defense. “I thought our defensive intensity was good, especially after everything else was so flat in the first half,” R-B coach Brandon Creason said. “It helped that we started to make shots in the second half, but we didn’t play as well as we’re capable tonight.” At the beginning of the game, the Rockets had four of the five tallest individuals on the floor, and they used that length to make shooting difficult for Harvard. The Hornets shot just 12 of 37 from the field and 2 of 23 from behind the arc. Senior Danny Rygiel was a big part of the Rockets’ defensive effort. “I’ve always prided myself on defense, and if I can’t score, I have to do something to help the team,” Rygiel said. “I’ve always wanted to be that kid that makes the hustle plays and makes big stops on defense that helps us get back on offense.” Rygiel was one of a few Rockets who made things difficult for Harvard leading scorer Justin Nolen. After scoring six points in the first quarter, Nolen was never able to string together enough offense to keep his team in it. The Rockets (16-5 overall, 6-1 BNC East) didn’t come out flat in the second half and began to further pull away. R-B’s Sam Kaufman led all scorers with 14 points, including 10 in the first half. Senior Brian Wells finished with 10 and freshman Blaine Bayer added 9. The Hornets (9-13, 2-4 BNC East) turned the ball over 17 times and couldn’t improve on their 8-4 record in 2014 games. “We couldn’t make shots, and you have to control the ball and make those shots when you’re open against R-B, and that was our biggest problem today,” Harvard coach Donnie Nolen said. “They always give me all that they have, it just wasn’t enough tonight.” Nolen and Tate Miller led the Hornets with 12 points each, and Peyton Schneider added seven.

R-B grad Eisenberg raises bar at Augustana ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Josh Eisenberg’s first two college track and field meets were less than memorable. As a freshman, the Richmond-Burton graduate from Spring Grove remembers “no heighting in the high jump, and that was at 5 feet.” Now as a senior at NCAA Division III Augustana College in Rock Island, Eisenberg’s first-meet failings are long gone. Last month, Eisenberg set a school record by producing 4,694 points in the men’s heptathlon at the Monmouth College Indoor Invitational. He won six of the seven events to outpace the Augustana record by 70 points. “One of my biggest goals of the season was to break the school record,” Eisenberg said. “All the work that I’ve put in is really starting to pay off.” Nowhere is that more evident than in the high jump, the event in which Eisenberg couldn’t clear 5 feet as a freshman. “Now I’m a 6-1 jumper,” he said. Eisenberg’s impressive showing at Monmouth, he said, is due largely to his summer workouts. A pre-med student at Augustana, Eisenberg spent the summer working an internship as a cancer researcher at Baylor University College of Medicine. Eisenberg’s housing site was at Rice University in Houston. Every day, Eisenberg took full advantage of Rice’s track and field facilities. “My improvement is really a credit to the work I did in the offseason,” he said.

Richmond-Burton graduate Josh Eisenberg of Spring Grove, a senior at Augustana College in Rock Island, competes in the pole vault portion of the heptathlon during a recent meet. “I worked out at Rice every day.” Eisenberg received a workout schedule from Augustana assistant coach David Gonzalez. Then, the two would tweak his training regularly. “They had the hurdles out there, so I did a lot of hurdle work,” Eisenberg said. The results showed at Monmouth, where he domi-

nated the 60-meter hurdles in 8.98 seconds. He also won the shot put by more than 5 feet with a toss of 37-8. “I had never thrown a shot before I got here,” he said. “I was originally just a pole vaulter.” The only event Eisenberg did not win at Monmouth was the 60-meter dash. He came in second by a mere 0.06 of a second.

Eisenberg is preparing for his next competition, the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championships Feb. 28, with an eye on qualifying for the D-III indoor nationals. He said the NCAA takes the top 18 athletes in the event to nationals, and he ranks ninth. “It’ll be close,” he said. Eisenberg’s recent success is a far cry, however, from his early days in the heptathlon. “It’s demoralizing finishing last in every event,” he said. “But over the years, you begin to improve greatly.” White on target: Joe White, a sophomore forward for D-III Worcester (Mass.) State’s men’s hockey team, scored the deciding goal Feb. 1 in a 3-2 win against first-place Salem State in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup. The goal was the first of the season for White, a Woodstock grad, to go along with four assists for the Lancers (8-9-1). Headed west: Johnsburg grad Bruce Carpenter, a former player and assistant football coach at D-II Winona (Minn.) State, has been hired as offensive coordinator at NAIA Montana Western. After playing quarterback for WSU, Carpenter began his coaching career at the school as a graduate assistant. He spent eight years on the WSU coaching staff, with titles including quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. For the past three seasons, he was the head coach at Cotter High School in Winona. Montana Western finished 4-6 last season but ranked 16th in NAIA Division I in rushing offense a game

(208.1 yards) and 36th in total offense (382.9). ND speedster: Notre Dame senior track and field athlete Eddy Gibbons placed third at last weekend’s Indiana Relays in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:54.64. Gibbons, a Cary-Grove grad, finished just 0.13 behind teammate Grant Koch, who took second in the event. Sanders sets pace: Sophomore guard Ali Sanders is the second-leading scorer this season for Florida Southern College’s women’s basketball team. Along with scoring 10.2 points a game, Sanders also is contributing 4.3 rebounds and 2.25 assists. She is the only FSC player to start every game this season for the Mocs (6-14). Last week, Sanders was named to the Capital One/College Sports Information Directors of America’s Academic All-District 5 team. A human movement and performance major, Sanders has a 4.0 cumulative grade-point average. Whitewater winner: Crystal Lake South grad Cam Laktash was named one of D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater’s men’s doubles tennis players of the week Monday. During a 4-3 victory last week against D-I Detroit Mercy, Laktash and doubles partner Kevin Friend won a 6-3 decision at No. 3 doubles. Laktash, a junior for the Warhawks, went 10-1 in doubles last season and 6-4 in singles. • Barry Bottino writes a weekly column and a blog about local college athletes for the Northwest Herald.

Team USA sponsor Chobani says it has 5,000 cups of Greek yogurt sitting in a refrigerated warehouse waiting to be flown to the Olympic Village.

Fast 5 SOCHI, Russia – Fast five, Friday edition: Things you’ll want to know about the 2014 Winter Olympics. NO YOGURT: Chobani is the U.S. Olympic team’s official yogurt. It’s also hard to find in Sochi. And therein lies a problem. Some 5,000 cups of Greek yogurt isn’t getting to Russia because of a customs dispute between Washington and Moscow. This is producing unhappiness but also determination. Said U.S. skier Lyman Currier: “Whether we have our yogurt or not, we’ll be able to adapt.” OPENING DAY: The Sochi Games have been clouded by fears of terrorism and a Russian law that has been used to discriminate against gays. Friday night’s opening ceremony gives President Vladimir Putin a chance to sweep those issues under the rug for a few hours and Russia a chance to show a different, more vibrant side to the rest of the world for the first time since Soviet Moscow hosted the Summer Games in 1980. WORLD LEADERS: Here’s who’s coming: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Chinese counterpart. Here’s who’s not: Barack Obama, French President Francois Holland and the prime ministers of Britain and Germany. And then there’s Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, who announced Friday he’ll be at the Sochi Olympics, held in the country that invaded his own in 1979. Organizers said some 66 leaders – including heads of state and international organizations – are joining the games. GOOGLE’S STATEMENT: The new Google doodle is about the Olympics, and it’s bound to be controversial. With the Winter Games opening, the company changed its logo to illustrations of athletes competing against a rainbow-colored backdrop. Google isn’t commenting on the move – it said it wants the illustration to speak for itself – but it is pretty clearly keyed toward the outcry against Russia’s law restricting gay-rights activities. THOSE OTHER OLYMPICS: “The Lake Placid Olympics was one of the most poorly organized.” So begins a paragraph about the contentious 1980s Olympics that appears this month in the in-flight magazine of the Russian airline Aeroflot. Also there’s this:. “The Americans used the games to wage a propaganda campaign in support of a boycott of the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow.” This was in the middle of the Cold War, and evidently at least some resentment still lingers. – The Associated Press

American speedskater Emery Lehman, a senior at Oak Park-River Forest High School, trains Friday at the Adler Arena Skating Center in Sochi, Russia. Lehman is one of four Chicago-area men’s speedskaters on Team USA.

SPEEDSKATING

Oval takes on Chicago flavor By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com SOCHI, Russia – On the wall of the U.S. speedskating training room in Salt Lake City, there’s a picture of a 10-yearold Emery Lehman, clutching a plaque awarded to him by the Amateur Skating Association of Illinois, and beaming as Shani Davis – the Shani Davis – poses with his arm around him. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God, it’s Shani Davis,’ ” Lehman recalled with a laugh. “Now, to be on the same team as him – it definitely hasn’t hit me. He’s such a great athlete, and I’m just a kid that’s happy to be here.” He’s more than that, of course. If Davis is U.S. speedskating’s past and present, Lehman – a senior at Oak Park-River Forest High School who’s been toting around two backpacks in Sochi, one for skating and one for homework – is its future. And they’re two of the biggest reasons Chicago will continue to be a hotbed for speedskating. Four of the nine American long-track skaters in Sochi hail from the Chicago area – Davis, Lehman, Brian Hansen (Glenview) and Patrick Meek (Northbrook) – with a fifth, Jonathan Kuck, from Champaign. “Most people think of winter sports and they think of Utah or Colorado, but the Chicago area has had one of the most prestigious histories as far as speedskating goes,” said Meek, who started skating at age 4 at the North-

“I’m a real Chicagoan. I live in Chicago. These other guys live in the suburbs. ... I pay Chicago taxes.” Shani Davis U.S. speedskater brook Speedskating Club, where his dad coached. “There’s guys like Dave Cruikshank and Shani and even Bonnie Blair from just down the road in Champaign. There are tons of people that have come out of the Chicago area who’ve been really great skaters. We’re really fortunate to be a part of that.” With speedskating clubs in Northbrook, Park Ridge, Glen Ellyn, Franklin Park and Evanston, the Chicago suburbs have been churning out elite skaters for years. And Davis’ largerthan-life presence in both skating history – he’s the two-time defending gold medalist in the 1,000 meters – and in the Chicago skating community can only help. “To have a guy like that to look up to is super, super inspiring,” said Meek, who’s only three years younger than Davis at 28. “I’ve known Shani my entire life. He’s an amazing athlete and everything, but if he can do that, there’s no reason why I can’t, either. He makes a lot of kids feel that way. If you want

to see someone who’s the most amazing person with kids ever, it’s Shani Davis.” Hansen now lives and trains in Milwaukee. Lehman is planning to do the same. Meek moved to St. Louis in high school, then to Utah for college and to train. Davis, however, still calls Rogers Park home. He trains in Salt Lake City, but spends his offseasons back home. And he’s a familiar face in speedskating clubs and banquets around the Chicago area. “I’m Chicago to the fullest, man,” he said with a laugh. “I’m a real Chicagoan. I live in Chicago. These other guys live in the suburbs. ... I pay Chicago taxes. I’m a real Chicagoan.” Lehman – who also plays hockey and lacrosse – might have the same kind of effect down the road. At 17, he’s the youngest male American at the Olympics, and while he admitted he’s shooting for a respectable finish between 10th and 15th place in the 5,000 meters Saturday, he’s seen as a future star in the sport – perhaps the next face of speedskating, for Chicago, and for the United States. So maybe someday there’ll be a photo of an older Lehman, with his own medals around his neck, and his arm around an awe-struck young skater hoping to follow in his footsteps. “[Davis] was there with his medals, and he was giving out plaques, and he was signing stuff, and I got a picture with him,” Lehman said. “And it was just the coolest thing in the world.”

FREESTYLE SKIING

Florida center treats paralyzed skier from Brazil By SUZETTE LABOY The Associated Press MIAMI – A Brazilian Olympic freestyle skier who was on her way to competing at the Sochi Winter Games when she was paralyzed while training in Utah remained in critical condition at a Florida hospital that specializes in spinal injuries, her doctors said Friday. “Right now she’s fighting for her life,” said Dr. Antonio Marttos, a trauma surgeon at

the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital. Lais Souza, 25, was injured while preparing to compete as a skier at the Sochi Winter Games. Dr. Marttos had been involved in her care since the accident Jan. 27 and was sent by the Brazilian Olympic committee to Salt Lake City to assist in her care. “Mentally she’s strong,” he said of Souza, who was also described as always smiling and “cheering up” the staff at the hospital.

Souza remained in an intensive care unit at the Miami hospital and is eating and breathing with the help of machines, but her doctors said she was “starting to breathe by herself without the machine.” They were optimistic that her condition will be downgraded to serious over the coming days and that she will be able to breathe without a machine. “This is the first big step for her,” Dr. Marttos said. “So if she can have this happen,

be able to live without the machine to breathe, it can be something huge for her life and her quality of life in the future.” The ex-Olympic gymnast injured her spine while preparing to compete as a skier at Sochi. Souza was at the University of Utah hospital since hitting a tree while skiing recreationally. Her spinal cord was not severed, but her doctors said the accident left her unable to move her legs and arms.

Foreclosures fall in 2013 By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com Fewer residents in McHenry County found themselves being the recipients of foreclosure notices from banks in 2013. There were 1,991 foreclosure filings in 2013, about a third less than in 2012, according to figures released by the circuit clerk’s office. Scott Beilfuss, the managing broker for OK and Associates Realty Plus based in Richmond, said banks are letting more homeowners opt for short sales or loan modifications before starting the foreclosure process. After a state court ruling, banks have to get paperwork certifying they provided those options to homeowners, said Beilfuss, who

also is the president of the Heartland Realtor Organization. “They’ve always been presented those options,” Beilfuss said. “The new process is a good thing for everybody,” Beilfuss added. He said sometimes separate divisions of banks simultaneously would work on a foreclosure and a short sale or loan modification at the same time to see which would be completed first. “A short sale is better than a foreclosure,” Beilfuss said. He added the economy has improved. “People are back to work and feel more confident,” Beilfuss said. In 2003 there were 789 foreclosures filings in the county. Beilfuss expects foreclosures to return to

2003 levels by 2016. Beilfuss said people still can get good deals on houses, but there is a limited inventory. He said sellers are receiving multiple offers on houses. Most houses available are still bank-owned and short sales. Prices also are starting to go up in the Chicago area. Rob Schaid is a broker for RE/ MAX Plaza in McHenry. He said the bad mortgages that were issued at the height of the market have been working their way through the system. Schaid added people are starting to see an increase in home values and are starting to keep their houses.

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP AptarGroup’s 4Q sales increase 12 percent

CRYSTAL LAKE – AptarGroup reported record fourth quarter and annual sales Thursday. Sales increased 12 percent in the fourth quarter to $637 million from $571 million a year ago. For the year, sales increased 8 percent to a record $2.5 billion, up from $2.3 billion last year. “[Thursday] we reported a strong finish to the year,” AptarGroup President and CEO Stephen Hagge said during a Friday conference call. “Broadbased increases in demand for our innovative dispensing solutions pushed sales to a record level for the fourth quarter. Sales were up in each end market we serve.” He added, “Equally encouraging, we grew sales in each geographic region.” The Crystal Lake-based company reported growth across each of its segments. Beauty and Home grew 7 percent, Pharma grew 16 percent and Food and Beverage grew 26 percent. Reported earnings per share increased 4 percent in the fourth quarter to $0.54 from $0.52 in the prior year. AptarGroup’s European restructuring plan had a negative impact on earnings per share of about $0.05 in the quarter. The company also recorded a negative impact of about $0.10 per share stemming from French tax regulations enacted at the end of the fourth quarter that were retroactive to the beginning of the year. For the year, AptarGroup reported earnings per share increased 6 percent to $2.52 compared with $2.38 a year ago.

Hackers may have used Pa. company to hit Target

tive food areas have been around forever,” said Sam Oches, editor of QSR Magazine, which covers the quick service and fast-casual dining industry. “What Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain are doing is to brand it and make it something that’s a little bit bigger in terms of its scale and its exposure.” That has paved the way for others, Oches says. In Washington, D.C., retail developer Edens revived a vintage venue to create Union Market, a 40-artisan food hall that is just over a year old. In Seattle, a high-end “shellfish deli” and other local vendors reside in Melrose Market, a 4-year-old project housed in a renovated auto garage that smacks of cool.

NEW YORK – The hackers who stole millions of credit and debit card numbers from Target may have used a Pittsburgh-area heating and refrigeration business as the back door to get in. Fazio Mechanical Services Inc., a contractor that does business with Target, issued a statement Thursday saying it was the victim of a “sophisticated cyberattack operation,” just like Target. It said it is cooperating with the Secret Service and Target to figure out what happened. The statement came days after Internet security bloggers identified the Sharpsburg, Pa., company as the third-party vendor through which hackers penetrated Target’s computer systems. The new details about the Target breach illustrate just how vulnerable big corporations have become as they expand and connect computer networks to offer greater convenience and increase productivity.

In Barcelona, patrons at the La Boqueria nibble finely aged ham and buy fresh produce to prepare at home. In the United States? Historically, it’s been a wasteland of spongy pretzels, giant sodas, greasy fried rice and endless burgers. But that was Food Court 1.0. Recently, shoppers from New York to Seattle have witnessed a reboot of the food court experience, as sumptuous farmers markets-slash-gourmet eateries become increasingly common.

“They’re exciting, delicious, affordable, democratic places to eat,” said Stephen Werther, the chief executive officer of Wink Retail Group, which has partnered with food personality Anthony Bourdain to create a New York food hall – today’s preferred nomenclature – featuring dishes from around the world. “It’s really just America catching up with some of the wonderful ways the rest of the world eats.” Bourdain joins other name-brand chefs such as Todd English, who opened a food hall in New York’s Plaza Hotel in 2010, and Mario Batali, whose Italian-themed Eataly, now in New York and Chicago, may be the best known of the country’s food halls. “In history, markets and collec-

Spate of new options caters to changing tastes Area brokers optimistic • EVOLUTION Continued from page E1 In Chicago, the French Market brings together more than 30 vendors, from a crepe shop to a kosher deli and a bakery from Top Chef veteran Stephanie Izard. “Customers really want authenticity, they want the story behind the food,” Oches said. “With customers wanting to connect to the food, taking this old model of a market goes a long way. A market can tell a lot of different stories.” Markets, of course, have been around for decades, even in the United States. Venues such as Seattle’s Pike Place Market and North Market in Columbus, Ohio long have at-

tracted tourists. And of course there is San Francisco’s Ferry Building Marketplace, a farmers market and collection of high-end purveyors such as Recchiuti Confections and Cowgirl Creamery that opened in 2003. But for most Americans, the food hall experience has mostly been limited to the mall food court, a pale imitation of what the rest of the world has long enjoyed. The spate of new options caters to the country’s emerging culinary sophistication. When market operator Sebastien Bensidoun opened his first market in a Chicago suburb 16 years ago, he said it nearly failed. But when he launched Chicago French Market in the West Loop in 2009, the country was ready,

said Bensidoun, whose family is the largest operator of markets in and around Paris. “People are cooking much more than they used to be,” said Bensidoun, who now operates 16 markets in the Chicago area. “You can see the young generation coming to the market. In 1997 that was not the case. People were not buying as they are now.” Bensidoun said he often gets calls from other regions asking him to come open a market. Recent interest, he said, has come from cities in Florida, California and Texas. His next project, he said, will be to open a food hall in New York City. Difficult economic times also have fostered the trend of multiple independent ven-

dors in a communal space. At the same time, large retailers have been reluctant to take on new spaces, smaller merchants have seen an opportunity to share rent, utilities and other costs. The growth of Internet shopping, some say, also has supported the trend toward food halls. “Food and beverage venues can afford to pay the rent in renovated buildings like ours or in new buildings versus retailers that are getting squeezed by the Internet and the big box stores,” said Scott Shapiro, co-developer of Seattle’s Melrose Market. “Looking at it from a landlord’s perspective, our tenants are people who can have a sustainable business. It tends to be more food and beverage focused.”

nomic growth will accelerate this year. But economists also say they expect hiring to return to healthier levels in coming months. They note solid job gains in January in areas like manufacturing and construction point to underlying strength. The government said Friday that manufacturers, construction firms and mining and drilling companies added a strong 76,000 jobs combined. “You rarely see expansions in these industries without the economy being in fairly healthy shape,” said Gary Burtless, an

economist at Brookings Institution. And more people began looking for work in January, a sign they were optimistic about finding jobs. Many of these people found work, thereby reducing the unemployment rate to 6.6 percent from 6.7 percent in December. That’s the lowest rate since October 2008. “The underlying trend in employment growth is still decidedly positive, despite the slowdown we experienced in December and January,” Diane Swonk, chief economist at

Mesirow Financial, wrote in a research note. Cold weather likely held back hiring in December, economists said, but the impact faded in January. Construction firms, which sometimes stop work in bad weather, added 48,000 jobs last month. Over the past month, signs of economic weakness in the United States and overseas have sent stock prices sinking. Upheaval in developing countries has further spooked investors.

8IN BRIEF Employers add 113K jobs; rate dips to 6.6 percent WASHINGTON – A surprisingly weak jobs report for a second straight month has renewed concern the U.S. economy might be slowing after a strong finish last year. Employers added 113,000 jobs in January, far fewer than the average monthly gain of 194,000 last year. Job gains have averaged just 154,000 the past three months, down from 201,000 in the preceding three. The sluggish job growth could undermine hopes that eco-

as foreclosures decline • FORECLOSURES Continued from page E1 Refinancing programs, such as the government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program, have been helpful. The HARP program allows people to refinance their houses, even if the value of their home has declined. Schaid said he thinks a decline in foreclosures will become a yearly trend. There are some good deals out there, but prices are rising, Schaid said. “They’re all going up,” he said. “There used to be a glut of lower-end foreclosures, but we worked through those. There’s not as many of those as there used to be.” Sheila Butt, the managing broker for the Crystal Lake Prudential First Realty office, said the drop in foreclosures is because people felt more financially stable

with a little more job security. “The public became more secure in their personal situation,” Butt said. She said short sales were the glut of the housing market when people started losing jobs or were unable to make mortgage payments. Prices will start to creep up, Butt said. “Buyers ... were able to purchase homes in the last three years, and have gotten terrific buys,” Butt said. “I think that has ended.” The foreclosure process also has been streamlined, and bad mortgages are in the process of going through the system, Butt said. Butt said she was happy to see the drop in foreclosures. “I think the investors have scooped up what they could,” Butt said. “Now we’ll go back to a traditional market, which truthfully runs smoother.”

Yesterday, we saw what would have been an effective atypical pre-emptive opening bid. If the opponents are going to produce wild leaps into the stratosphere, you need to know how to defend yourself. Look at the North hand in the diagram. South opens one spade, and West intervenes with three diamonds, a weak jump overcall. What should North do? Yes, West’s bid would normally feature only a six-card suit, but he was swayed by the unfavorable vulnerability and also wondered if his side might make three no-trump. After a weak jump overcall, responder, with support for partner’s major, should bid one level higher than originally intended. Here, a three-spade response would promise a normal single raise. With his actual game-invitational limit raise, North correctly jumped to four spades. And if his hand had been even stronger, he would have cue-bid four diamonds, which would have said nothing about his holding in diamonds. Against four spades, West led the heart ive. East won with his king and cashed the ace, West dropping a sneaky

two. When East led another heart, South was not sure what to do. Discarding risked West’s rufing with a low trump. Then the spade ace would have been the setting trick. Eventually, South ruffed with his spade king, and West inwardly smiled when he followed suit. However, when West took the next trick with his spade ace, he was endplayed. He tried the club eight, but dummy’s nine forced out East’s queen. South won with his king, drew trumps, and claimed four spades, one heart (dummy’s queen), one diamond, three clubs and a diamond ruff in the dummy.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Your mind will be open to new ideas and concepts. The choices you make and the plans you initiate will pay off. Greater contact with people from different backgrounds will contribute to a wider variety of opportunities. A healthier and accomplished lifestyle is within reach. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Pursue activities or events that include people from different age groups. Sharing ideas will help you make better decisions. Self-improvement will lead to compliments. Don’t stop until you reach your goals. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Emotions regarding domestic situations are likely to flare up. Someone is likely to pose a problem if you aren’t willing to compromise. A decision regarding an institution should be made. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Hold your temper. It’s not worth getting upset over something you cannot change. Walk away if someone is being impossible. Your absence will make a greater statement in the end. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Money matters will be a concern. Avoid a venture that could leave you facing instability or uncertainty. Be careful not to make unrealistic promises. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Put things in perspective and don’t take criticism too seriously. An objective outlook will help you balance what other people say or do. Don’t lose sight of your personal goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Keep your secrets tucked away somewhere safe. Sharing information will work against you. Focus on what you have to offer and protect your position. Stick close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll attract attention. Get involved in activities that allow you to strut your stuff and show off your talents and skills. An invitation will lead to a special offer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Stick to what you know is safe. Now is not the time to make a change that can upset your income. Protect your reputation and be sure to finish what you start. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Collaborate with others and check out other options that can contribute to something you want to pursue. The way you talk about your plans will attract serious interest. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Refrain from taking on unnecessary responsibilities. Focus on what counts and what will help you get ahead. Plan your actions carefully to make the most of your time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Focus on nearby family and friends who need your help. Kindness, consideration and generosity will impress someone you want to work with in the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Ask, and you shall receive. Someone who has something to offer will give you a choice that could ease your stress. Weigh the pros and cons and proceed with caution.
