Searching for solutions Examining the face of chronic truancy in McHenry County

Anybody home? If so, more prison risk Appeals court rules on sentencing for burglary

By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com

Robert Diviacchi, truancy outreach officer for the McHenry County Regional Office of Education, walks away from a house Friday in Crystal Lake after attempting to check on a student who has been truant most of the school year. Diviacchi handles cases with students who have missed too many days of school.

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com Bob Diviacchi thought he knew what to expect.

As truancy outreach officer for the McHenry County Regional Office of Education, Diviacchi deals with the worst chronic truancy cases in the county. When he accepted the role about four months ago, he had preconceived notions

about the face of truancy.

They didn’t last long.

“I’ve got them from the north end of the county to the south end of the county,” Diviacchi said. “It’s not just one ethnicity, and it’s not just one background.

“I, unfortunately, had made some assumptions myself coming into the position, thinking it was going to be certain socioeconomic backgrounds. It’s

not the case at all.”

Diviacchi is the ROE’s lone full-time truancy official. Along with his part-time partner, he spends his days checking in on truant students either at their schools or their homes, meeting with parents and children in an effort to find solutions to their truancy issues, and – when all else fails – sitting in court.

It’s tough to tell whether

chronic truancy is on the rise or falling. No reliable countywide numbers have previously been kept – an issue the Regional Office of Education is addressing under new Regional Superintendent of Schools Leslie Schermerhorn.

Across the state, the rate of chronically truant students had dropped each year since

WOODSTOCK – For burglars, the difference between prison and probation could be whether someone is living in the house being burglarized, according to a recent appellate court ruling on a McHenry County case.

After a jury trial in February 2011, Brett A. Roberts, 39, was convicted of residential burglary and criminal damage to property for stealing copper pipes from a vacant home in May 2010 on Queen Anne Road near Woodstock.

A real estate agent had gone into the home to check on it and interrupted the burglary, prosecutors said.

A hacksaw was found in the basement next to a pile of copper piping pieces, and fingerprints from a pipe led investigators to Roberts. Prosecutors also said that Roberts sold copper tubing to a scrap metal recycler one week later.

Last week, the Illinois 2nd District Appellate Court reduced Roberts’ conviction from residential burglary, ruling that the home was not

“My position was clear: There has to be an identifiable owner that I can point to, or someone who intends to live there.

This is not a residential burglary. This is a burglary.”

McHenry man talks of half court hook, LeBron hug

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com

As soon as the ball left Michael Drysch’s hand, he had a feeling.

In the days before the 50-year-old McHenry computer technician stood on the Miami Heat logo Friday night for a shot at $75,000, he had tried every conceivable method of getting his 47foot shot on target.

Last week, he had spent his lunch hour outdoors, first on the outdoor court outside his Vernon Hills office before traveling to a nearby park. He attempted shooting in a two-hand underhand fashion. He tried to throw

it like a baseball. But before long, Drysch decided a sky hook shot would provided the most momentum and give him his best chance.

He estimates of all the practice shots he attempted, 1 percent found their mark.

So when he walked to center court Friday night in Miami as a the grand prize winner of a sweepstakes connected to one of the NBA’s biggest stars, Miami’s LeBron James, his strategy to launch the half-court hook shot was set.

“Nobody tried talking me out of it,” Drysch told the Northwest Herald in a phone interview Saturday afternoon.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question The Northwest Herald invites you to voice your opinion. Log on to www.

NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:

Rep. McSweeney thinking big David McSweeney does not have an easy road ahead.

The first-term state representative from Barrington ran on a platform of reform. Judging by his words and deeds during his first few days in office, he plans to push forward with his campaign pledges, despite the obstacles that lie ahead.

McSweeney represents Illinois’ newly drawn 52nd District, which includes the southeast corner of McHenry County.

Cary and Fox River Grove are in the district, as are eastern Algonquin, Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills, and parts of Lake, Cook and Kane counties.

Not only is he a freshman lawmaker, as a Republican, McSweeney also is a member of the minority party in Springfield. Democrats have supermajorities in the House and Senate, and hold the governor’s office.

Getting anything meaningful done in the General Assembly isn’t going to be easy. But he’s still dreaming big.

McSweeney shared his priorities last week with members of the Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board.

The top of his list mirrors ours – pension reform.

Illinois’ public pension systems are underfunded by $96 billion and climbing. Funding pensions takes up a bigger portion of the state’s budget each year, reducing the money needed to provide vital services. Taxpayers simply can’t afford to pay 3 percent cost-of-living increases each year, or six-figure salaries to thousands of retirees.

During our meeting, McSweeney predicted that the state’s credit rating was going to drop because lawmakers have failed to do anything about the growing pension problem. Sure enough, on Friday, Standard & Poor’s dropped Illinois’ credit rating from an A to an A-, and placed a negative outlook on the rating. The rating agency cited the state’s bloated pension systems and lawmakers’ inability to fix them for the downgrade.

It means it will cost the state more to borrow money.

McSweeney said he supports a bill by Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, that

Have you ever been to an event at the Norge Ski Club?

68% 32%

would suspend cost-of-living increases for retirees until they reach age 67, and cap that COLA increase at the first $25,000 of income. The bill also would require employees to contribute more of their paychecks toward their pensions.

He said the bill doesn’t go far enough to reform the pension systems, but it’s a good start.

To practice what he preaches, McSweeney has opted out of the legislative pension plan, as he said he would, and he also is not taking state-funded health care. He is reducing his legislative office’s budget from $73,000 annually, which he is allowed to spend, to $63,000.

And he’s returning 10 percent of his salary. “We have to lead by example,� McSweeney said. “We have to show that we’re willing to make sacrifices.�

McSweeney already has filed bills to repeal the 2011 income-tax increase and end all legislative pensions. He supports a three-year freeze on property-tax increases, and wants to make it more difficult for taxing districts to float alternative revenue bonds to pay for projects.

In short, McSweeney looks to be a true friend to taxpayers in Springfield.

We’ll be following his work in Springfield closely. • • • Big score: Congratulations to the Raue Center for the Arts on its next big production. The Raue’s Williams Street Repertory will debut the Stephen Sondheim musical “Companyâ€? on Friday with John Michael Coppola in the lead role.

Coppola has appeared on some of the nation’s biggest off-Broadway stages, and played Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons in the Tony Award-winning musical “Jersey Boys.� “Company� is the story of a single man whose friends all are married. The Raue’s own executive director, Richard Kuranda, is directing the production,

which runs through Feb. 16. “As a lifetime member of the Actors Studio and the former director of the National Theater Center, I am most proud of the team and cast,� Kuranda said. “I am very excited to continue to build a great theater company in McHenry County.�

Celebs now targeted in hoax 911 calls The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Celebrities have long contended with the occasional downsides of stardom – tabloid scandals, stalkers, box office bombs, the paparazzi. Now, add “swatting� to the list – a prank that sends police charging to the gates of stars’ homes on false reports of gunmen, hostages or other crimes in progress.

Instead of bad guys, responding officers, police dogs, helicopters and sometimes SWAT teams have found only stunned domestic and security staff unaware of any trouble – because there wasn’t any.

The recent hoax 911 calls to the homes of Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher, Chris Brown and other stars are leading authorities to eye some 911 calls with extra suspicion and lawmakers to call for stiffer penalties for the pranksters. “This is a very vexing problem that needs to be fixed at the early stages,� said California State Sen. Ted Lieu, who is proposing tough consequences, including hefty fines, for those caught swatting. “If this isn’t resolved, this will result in a tragic situation.�

Justin Bieber accepts an award Nov. 18 at the 40th Anniversary American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Bieber is one of several stars whose homes have been targeted by pranksters who place fake 911 calls to try to draw out large police responses.

Swatting is the rare trend that actually didn’t start in Hollywood. Authorities in Dallas, Washington state, Alabama and elsewhere have arrested teens and young men for bogus 911 calls that have drawn large police responses and in some cases, resulted in innocent people being detained by police.

The term comes from the pranksters’ desire to have heavily armed special weapons teams dispatched to their calls. That doesn’t always

happen, but the calls tie up resources ranging from dispatchers, patrol officers, helicopters, detectives and cybercrime specialists.

The Beverly Hills Police Department estimated more than half of its emergency resources were occupied with the Jan. 17 Cruise swatting call.

It was just one of a rash of calls aimed at celebrities over the next several days, including a false claim there was a domestic violence incident at

Brown’s home. “We’re getting much better at deciphering what is real and what is not,� said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The agency has handled calls at Bieber’s home and a former Kardashian family home.

Patrol units check out every call but will hold off calling in the big guns until signs of a crime emerge, he said.

Authorities in the Los Angeles area are concerned that the high-profile calls against stars are inspiring copycats who perhaps notice the immediate attention swatting incidents command on tabloid news sites.

Los Angeles police Cmdr.

Andrew Smith said the department has seen an increase in the number of swatting calls since last year, when stars such as Kutcher, Bieber and Miley Cyrus were targeted. “People are jumping on the bandwagon thinking it’s funny or clever or interesting,�

Smith said.

The calls aren’t just tying up patrol officers, he said, but also investigators probing the pranks who could be assigned to larger crimes.

Brothers plead guilty to sales tax fraud

CHICAGO – Two Chicagoarea brothers have pleaded guilty to defrauding the state of Illinois of more than $5 million in unpaid sales tax.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan and the Illinois Department of Revenue announced the pleas by accountants Naveed Ahmed and Asif Waheed on Friday. The two pleaded guilty to wire fraud, mail fraud and preparing fraudulent tax returns. They were sentenced to two years of probation.

Authorities said they filed the returns on behalf of eight gas station owners in Chicago, Cicero, Homewood and Joliet.

The scheme lasted from December 2007 through February 2009. Ahmed owns the Arlington Heights accounting firm Midwest Financial Services. His brother works for him.

Ameren Illinois wants $50M rate increase

– Wire reports

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIVERSIDE – Four snarling coyotes chased a dog named Snoopy and his two canine companions, and then smashed glass panels on a door as the pets fled for their lives into their suburban home – another sign of wildlife encroachment around Chicago.

Owner Roger Nelson said the slower-moving Snoopy, a beagle and basset hound mix, made it through the closing door on the heels of a golden retriever named Lexie and a 3-month-old German shepherd, Bella.

“He made it inside barely,” the 23-year-old told the Chicago Sun-Times. “One more step, and they would

of the state Division of Mental Health, doesn’t consider the system broken. But she said the state’s budget crisis means mental health – like a lot of other programs – is “challenged.”

“We’ve had to make some unfortunate changes,” Jones said.

Gov. Pat Quinn emerged from a recent school safety summit saying the state must “do everything possible” to preGov. Pat vent violence, Quinn including looking at mental health in schools and the community. Many of the offenders in mass shootings have had behavioral issues or mental illness.

“We have to, I think, take a look at our resources in Illinois at the local and state level, and redouble our efforts to make sure we have proper mental health for all those who need it,” Quinn said.

Providing those services has been difficult amid Illinois’ severe budget crisis, said Abdon Pallasch, Quinn’s assistant budget director. As lawmakers have failed to resolve the state’s multibilliondollar unfunded pension liability, less and less money has been available for other programs. That’s made pension reform even more urgent, Pallasch said.

Quinn’s administration also has focused on transitioning people with mental illness and disabilities from institutional settings into community care.

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – As lawmakers debate ways to prevent another mass shooting, Illinois mental health advocates say more attention – and money – must be directed to a system they describe as overwhelmed and ill-equipped to identify or care for the mentally ill, including those intent on carrying out violent acts.

Between 2009 and 2012, Illinois slashed funding for community mental health programs by more than 30 percent – more than all but three other states, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Even before those cuts, Illinois’ per capita spending on mental health was about $85 – well below the national average of about $123 per person, the group found.

The funding situation has made it difficult, if not impossible, for people who aren’t in crisis or eligible for Medicaid to enter the system, says Lora Thomas, director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Illinois.

And while there’s no way to predict when a tragedy like the recent shootings in Connecticut and Colorado might occur – or even if the perpetrator will be someone with a mental illness – the lack of resources in Illinois makes it less likely a mental health provider could intervene.

“We absolutely know the system in Illinois is so broken there is no community-based system that could catch or prevent it,” Thomas said.

Dr. Lorrie Jones, director

have gotten him.”

The attack in Riverside, 10 miles west of downtown Chicago, began around 1 a.m. Friday when Nelson let his dogs out. The coyotes leapt a backyard fence and broke the panels by clawing at the door after Nelson rushed his dogs inside.

Nelson grabbed a highpowered BB gun and fired, apparently striking two of the coyotes, who ran off yelping, Nelson said. None of the dogs was hurt.

Riverside Police Sgt. William Gutschick could not recall a case where coyotes pursued pets so aggressively.

“This is their means of food now,” the 25-year veteran said.

Coyote sightings have

become relatively commonplace, including in Chicago proper. A photographer last fall took pictures of two coyotes milling near Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs.

At the time, an ecologist who has studied coyotes around Chicago said they have been in the area for a decade. Stanley Gehrt said data shows there are at least 2,000 coyotes in Cook County.

Other wild animals have also made startling appearances.

In 2008, Chicago police shot and killed a cougar in a North Side residential neighborhood. Experts confirmed the 124-pound, 5-foot-4-inch cat was a wild mountain lion, saying there were no signs it had been raised in captivity.

SPRINGFIELD – Residential customers of Ameren Illinois could see an increase of several dollars per month on their gas bills.

The company filed a request Friday for a $50 million rate increase to recover the costs of delivering natural gas and replace pipes and modernize equipment.

The utility delivers gas to 813,000 customers in central and southern Illinois.

If the new request is approved, a typical residential customer would pay an extra $2.52 to $4 a month, depending on where they live.

Democrats may block Obama’s path on guns

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – As the Senate prepares to begin debating new gun control measures, some of President Barack Obama’s fellow Democrats are poised to frustrate his efforts to enact the most sweeping limits on weapons in decades.

These Democrats from largely rural states with strong gun cultures view Obama’s proposals warily and have not committed to supporting them. The lawmakers’ concerns could stand in the way of strong legislation before a single Republican gets a chance to vote “no.”

“There’s a core group of Democratic senators, most but not all from the West, who represent states with a higher-than-average rate of gun ownership but an equally strong desire to feel their kids are safe,” said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. “They’re having hard but good conversations with people back home to identify the middle-ground solutions that respect the Second Amendment but make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns.”

All eyes are on these doz-

Gun rights and gun control advocates demonstrate in the Pennsylvania Capital building Wednesday in Harrisburg, Pa. en or so Democrats, some of whom face re-election in 2014.

That includes Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.

The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings Wednesday.

Interest groups, lobbyists, lawmakers, crime victims and others with a stake in the outcome will be watching these senators closely for signals about what measures they might support.

At issue are Obama’s proposals to ban assault weapons, limit ammunition magazines,

crack down on trafficking and require universal background checks.

Leading the charge against those ideas is the National Rifle Association. The group wields enormous power to rally public sentiment and is a particular threat to Democrats in pro-gun states.

The political concerns of Democrats create problems for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who has his own history with the NRA. The powerful gun lobby endorsed him in previous elections, but stayed neutral in his most recent race, in 2010.

Do health penalties make sense?

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die prematurely from their unhealthy habits?

Annual health care costs are roughly $96 billion for smokers and $147 billion for the obese, the government says. These costs accompany sometimes heroic attempts to prolong lives, including surgery, chemotherapy and other measures.

But despite these rescue attempts, smokers tend to die 10 years earlier on average, and the obese die five to 12 years prematurely, according to various researchers’ estimates.

And attempts to curb

smoking and unhealthy eating frequently lead to backlash: Witness the current legal tussle over New York City’s first-of-its-kind limits on the size of sugary beverages and the vicious fight last year in California over a ballot proposal to add a $1-perpack cigarette tax, which was ultimately defeated.

“This is my life. I should be able to do what I want,” said Sebastian Lopez, a college student from Queens, speaking in September when the New York City Board of Health approved the soda size rules.

Critics also contend that tobacco- and calorie-control measures place a disproportionately heavy burden on poor people, and believe they have only a marginal effect.

“Ultimately these things are weak tea,” said Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a physician and fellow at a right-of-center think

tank, the American Enterprise Institute.

Gottlieb’s view is debatable. There are plenty of public health researchers that can show smoking control measures have brought down smoking rates and who will argue that smoking taxes are not regressive so long as money is earmarked for programs that help poor people quit smoking.

So, the original question: If 1 in 5 U.S. adults smoke, and 1 in 3 are obese, why not just get off their backs and let them go on with their (probably shortened) lives?

Because it’s not just about them, say some health economists, bioethicists and public health researchers.

Smoking has the most obvious impact. Studies have increasingly shown harm to nonsmokers who are unlucky enough to work or live around heavy smokers.

8briefs Iowa’s Harkin will not seek sixth Senate term

CUMMING, Iowa – Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says he will not seek re-election in 2014.

The 73-year-old Harkin said in an interview, “It’s just time to step aside,” because by the time he would finish a sixth term, he would be 81.

Harkin said it would also allow a new generation of Democrats to seek higher office.

The announcement comes as a surprise, considering he had $2.7 million in his campaign war chest and was planning a fundraiser next month.

Harkin played a lead role in urging the Senate’s more liberal members to back the 2010 health care bill.

No Iowa Republicans have taken formal steps toward seeking the seat. Harkin’s decision eases the burden on the GOP, who have to gain six seats to win the majority.

Hackers take over judicial commission’s website

that he illegally downloaded millions of academic articles from an online clearinghouse.

WASHINGTON – The hackeractivist group Anonymous says it hijacked the website of the U.S. Sentencing Commission to avenge the death of Aaron Swartz, an Internet activist who committed suicide.

The website of the commission, an independent agency of the judicial branch, was taken over Saturday and replaced with a message warning that when Swartz killed himself two weeks ago “a line was crossed.”

The hackers say they’ve infiltrated several government computer systems and copied secret information that they now threaten to make public.

Family and friends of Swartz, who helped create Reddit and RSS, say he killed himself after he was hounded by federal prosecutors. Officials say he helped post millions of court documents for free online and

Hugo Chavez starting more treatment in Cuba

SANTIAGO, Chile – Venezuela’s government says President Hugo Chavez has begun additional treatment after he bounced back from complications after cancer surgery in Cuba more than six weeks ago.

Venezuelan Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said at a summit meeting in Chile that when Chavez underwent surgery Dec. 11, a “malignant lesion” with complications was removed from the pelvis.

Villegas said that Chavez has overcome a severe respiratory infection that set in after the surgery, although he still has “a certain degree of respiratory insufficiency” and is being treated for that.

Ray Westman Owner, Verlo Mattress

People’s bodies change over time, but most of the time, their mattresses don’t. The result?

Back and joint problems, poor sleep, stress and fatigue caused by lack of proper rest.

But Ray Westman, owner of the Verlo Mattress Factory Stores in Crystal Lake, McHenry and Lake Geneva, is committed to helping customers find healthy, restful sleep, not only when their Verlo Mattress is brand new, but also when it’s years old.

“Everyone changes and it’s not realistic to think you’re going to need exactly the same kind of mattress ten years from now that you need today. What we custom build for you now, can be adjusted or repaired to fit your needs in the future,” Westman said.

Specializing in custom-built sleep systems, Wisconsin-based Verlo Mattress was founded in 1958 and now has more than forty franchise locations.

Westman has been with Verlo Mattress since 1985, and purchased his first Verlo store in 1994.

He now owns three showrooms, and a production facility in McHenry.

In a time when mattresses are sold at big box and discount stores, in addition to mattress retailers, Westman is proud to offer something more than the typical cookie-cutter approach.

“Your body, your comfort needs and sleep habits all influence the kind of sleep set we build for you,” he said.

Your perfect sleep begins at the Verlo

showroom, or online with the Verlo Virtual Craftsman. “We’ll discuss who is using the mattress, a single person or a couple, a child or a teen, your preferred sleeping position, back or neck issues, and firmness preference. Often, the craftsman who will build your mattress is the person helping you on the sales floor,” Westman said.

Using top quality materials, trained craftsmen construct your sleep system locally, the day before it is delivered.

Bucking the trend toward shorter-life no-flip mattresses, Verlo still builds two-sided mattresses, something informed, quality-conscious customers appreciate. “The people who buy from us understand the continuing value of a customdesigned locally built product,” Westman said.

In addition to innerspring mattresses, Verlo also carries Visco Foam, Gel Foam, VerloAIRE beds, sleep accessories to complete your custom sleep system, adjustable beds and futon sofa sleepers in a wide variety of styles.

In a tight economy, Westman understands that customers’ budgets are stretched tighter than ever before. “Because customers have less disposable income, the reality means that we’re competing against other needs, ranging from a new refrigerator to car repair. Fortunately, our industry has done an excellent job of educating consumers on the importance of a good night’s sleep,” he said.

Distinction between dwellings, other buildings affects class of felony • APPEAL

Continued from page A1

actually a “dwelling” according to the law.

To make it a dwelling, the owners – or any occupants – must intend to live there within a reasonable period of time, the court said.

The distinction shifts the crime from a residential burglary, a Class 1 felony, down to a burglary, a Class 2 felony.

The first, more serious of-

fense of residential burglary is not eligible for probation and is typically punishable by between four and 15 years in prison.

Burglary, however, is a Class 2 felony with a three- to seven-year sentencing range – or offenders can get probation.

Attorney Michael Froelich had been appointed to represent Roberts and took the case to trial. A large part of his argument had been based on the reasoning behind the appellate court’s ruling, he

said.

The homeowners had moved to North Carolina and did not plan to live there again.

That makes it just a building, Froelich said, like a warehouse.

“My position was clear: There has to be an identifiable owner that I can point to, or someone who intends to live there,” he said. “This is not a residential burglary.

This is a burglary.”

The argument that someone, someday could buy the

house didn’t fly with the judges, either.

“There can be no violation of the privacy and sanctity or the home when there is no one who considers the premises in question to be his or her home (or future home),” the court said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs, who is chief of the Criminal Division, was one of the prosecutors on the case.

“The idea behind it is that it’s more serious to break into a home when people are liv-

Gunmen kill 9 police, villagers in Philippines

French, Mali forces retake city’s airport The ASSOCIATED PRESS

KONNA, Mali – French and Malian troops regained control of the airport and bridge of the crucial, northern city of Gao on Saturday, marking their biggest advance yet in their bid to oust al-Qaidalinked extremists who have controlled northern Mali for months, military officials said.

The move comes just two weeks after France launched its military offensive in support of the shaky, central government of this former French colony. It is unclear what kind of resistance French and Malian troops will face in the coming days.

The French military said in a statement on its website that their special forces, which had stormed in by land and by air, had come under fire from “several terrorist elements” that were later “destroyed.”

In a later news release entitled “French and Malian troops liberate Gao” the

French ministry of defense said they were bringing back the town’s mayor, Sadou Diallo, who had fled to the Malian capital of Bamako far to the west.

However, a city official interviewed by telephone by The Associated Press said coalition forces so far only controlled the airport, the bridge and surrounding neighborhoods.

And in Paris, a defense ministry official clarified that the city had not been fully liberated, and that the process of freeing Gao was continuing.

Both officials spoke only on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Swooping in under the cover of darkness, the French and Malian forces faced sporadic “acts of harassment” during the day, said Col. Thierry Burkhard, a French military spokesman in Paris. He had no immediate estimate on casualties.

MANILA, Philippines – Gunmen ambushed a truckload of policemen and village guards who helped guard a village festival, killing nine and wounding two others early today in a central Philippine province, officials said.

The gunmen raked the victims’ truck with rifle fire before dawn in the foothills of Mount Kanlaon in La Castellana town in Negros Occidental province. Among the dead were a police officer and several village guards, police officer Gary Genelaso said by telephone.

Army and police officials said the attackers may have been communist New People’s Army guerrillas or armed men from an illegal logging syndicate.

Iran official: Nation State standards on truancy recently changed still stands with Syria • TRUANCY Continued from page A1

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT – Issuing Tehran’s strongest warning to date, a top Iranian official said Saturday that any attack on Syria would be deemed an attack on Iran, a sign that it will do all it can to protect embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Ali Akbar Velayati, an aide to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made his comments as Syrian troops conducted offensive air raids against rebels and discovered a trio of tunnels they were using to smuggle weapons in their fight to topple Assad.

The world has been grappling over how to deal with Syria ever since an uprising against Assad’s regime erupted nearly two years ago. But

so far, there has been no international intervention on the ground where more than 60,000 people have been killed, according to the U.N. Iran is Syria’s strongest ally in the Middle East, and has provided Assad’s government with military and political backing for years. In September, the top commander of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, said the elite unit had high-level advisers in Syria.

Iran also is believed to be sending weapons and money to Syria.

“Syria plays a very key role in supporting or, God forbid, destabilizing the resistance front,” Velayati was quoted

by Iran’s semiofficial Mehr news agency as saying.

Instant fame in South Beach area for McHenry resident • HALF COURT

Continued from page A1 accomplishment than the man whose life has changed overnight, tackled him.

“He was coming in at me quick,” Drysch said. “All of a sudden, I look up and big, ole’ LeBron was coming at me and gave me a big bear hug, and I gave him a big bear hug and we’re all good friends now.”

James, who partnered with Carmex for the sweepstakes, which benefits Boys and Girls Club of America and The LeBron James Family Foundation, didn’t think the shot had a chance.

“When he wound up, I was like, ‘Oh no, there’s no way,’ ” James told reporters in Miami after Friday’s game. “When it dropped, it was awesome.

I probably would have airballed that in that situation.”

When reached Saturday afternoon, Drysch said he hadn’t slept. After doing an NBA TV interview with James on Friday night, he became an instant celebrity around South Beach. Still dressed in the shorts and T-shirt he had worn to the game, Drysch said he was immediately recognized everywhere he went, ending up at The Mansion night club, where night soon gave way to early morning.

After appearing on a Miami TV station Saturday morning, Drysch was preparing to board a flight for New York, where he was scheduled to make appearances on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” ABC’s “Good Morning America,” on CNN and possibly on Anderson Cooper’s daytime TV program.

Drysch said the experience

Michael L. Conlon, D.D.S., M.S.

“When it dropped, it was awesome. I probably would have air-balled that in that situation.”

LeBron James of the Miami Heat

2009 before it jumped in 2012 from 3.2 percent to 8.6 percent, according to a report from the Illinois State Board of Education. But there’s a reason for the drastic increase.

As of July 2011, the state has tightened the standards on what constitutes a truant student. Before, a child was considered chronically truant if he or she had 18 or more unexcused absences in the past 180 days. Now, the number has been cut in half to nine – meaning that children missing 5 percent or more of their school days are counted as chronically truant.

Schermerhorn likes the change. It’s easier to turn around a child who’s skipping here or there than one stretching a prolonged absence for a number of weeks or months, she said.

“The sooner that we can identify the symptom, the sooner we can meet with the family and treat the problem,” she said.

Truancy and school safety have been the top issues on Schermerhorn’s plate since she took office. Shrinking funding has stressed efforts on the former.

The McHenry County ROE is working on applying for a grant to get more funding for truancy staff and services.

They won’t hear back until October, and the earliest the funding would kick in is the 2014-2015 school year.

They also are working on getting county numbers together on chronic truancy so they can better track which efforts are effective, and showcase their needs to politicians and potential funding sources.

Schermerhorn said it’s important to continue the sometimes frustrating effort toward reducing truancy in the county. Truancy, she said, has three-pronged consequences.

First, the child is not being educated. Second, schools lose funding for every child who doesn’t come to school.

“And the final component, and this is the one that’s going to cost all of us the most, is if we have an uneducated youth,” Schermerhorn said.

“They’re going to be unemployable. They’re going to be incarcerated. They’re going to be living in poverty and raising families in poverty.”

For now, the department is dealing with the resources they have. They take on 70 to 100 cases a year. Last school year, the number was around 60. The department already has matched that total this school year.

By the time truancy cases make it to Diviacchi’s desk, the student’s school already has put in significant efforts to get the student back in the

classroom.

Those efforts include meeting with parents, home visits, conferences, contracts saying the student promises to go to school, sending the student to counseling inside the school and using community resources.

The ROE tries to treat the core issue of truancy while providing resources to get a child back to school in the short term. They provide things such as gas money or an alarm clock. Recently, they bought a pair of gym shoes for a truant student who was embarrassed that he didn’t have any.

“They seem to work temporarily,” Amy Weiss Narea, assistant regional superintendent, said of the short-term solutions. “But if you don’t solve the deeper problems, you’re treating the symptoms.”

Mental health plays a big role in truancy, Diviacchi said. Depression either in a student or a parent can be at the root of a problem. Other students fall into drug issues that impact their attendance.

Diviacchi, a 12-year law enforcement veteran, tries to address those issues with counseling, but if a student isn’t making it to school, often they and their parents are absent in counseling sessions as well.

“When a family stops going, what more can we do?” he said. “I can’t physically

drag mom [or] the child into counseling sessions.”

If repeated attempts to get the student back in school fail, parents can be sent to one of two court options – misdemeanor court or family court.

A judge in family court can choose to make counseling mandatory.

If charged with the class C misdemeanor, parents could face up to 30 days in jail, a maximum $500 fine or community service.

“This county, and I’m sure very few counties, will put a parent in the county jail,” Diviacchi said.

Diviacchi said he often deals with the same students during a school year or, in some cases, during a student’s career in school.

Because of the wide range of backgrounds, the ROE spends time intimately learning each individual child’s case.

But, Schermerhorn said, a simple characteristic connects most cases: poor parenting.

“Bed time is a non-negotiable. Going to school every day is a non-negotiable. Doing homework is a non-negotiable,” Schermerhorn said.

“I’m not going to argue with my teenager about this. It’s just the expectation in this family.

“We’re seeing a lot of families that don’t operate that way.”

has been euphoric. But it’s not the first time he has been the recipient of a big sweepstakes win. Drysch said for the past seven or eight years, he has entered 25 to 30 online sweepstakes a day through a program on SweepstakesAdvantage.com, which auto-fills forms. He was selected to travel to Miami out of 30,000 entries.

He has won everything from a new pickup truck to a trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker, a James Bond weekend in London and the Playboy Mansion to smaller prizes like baseball caps and T-shirts.

But none have been as life altering as his latest triumph.

“It’s changed in the blink of an eye,” said Drysch, who plans to use the money to pay bills and possibly visit his mother in Utah. “I took the shot and there’s LeBron – and wow. What a change.”

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who was drawing up a play when Drysch hit his shot, told reporters that as nice as the $75,000 will be, it likely won’t be the part of the experience that Drysch will remember most.

“Having [the shot] on video with LeBron James tackling you at half-court in front of 20,000 [fans],” Spoelstra said, “I think that will be the longer-lasting memory.”

Filling seats on Mental Health Board We are pleased to see that 15 people have applied for four open seats on the McHenry County Mental Health Board.

The positions are unpaid, but carry a significant responsibility to taxpayers and to local residents with mental health issues or developmental disabilities.

The McHenry County Board, For the record which appoints members to the The McHenry County Board Mental Health committee interviewing candiBoard, should dates must consider spendhave plenty of ing practices before making good options from recommendations. which to choose.

The nine-member Mental Health Board decides how to spend $13 million in taxes collected annually from McHenry County property owners. Homeowners pay about 14.4 cents per $100 in assessed valuation to the board, or about $87 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home who takes the homestead exemption.

With the state of Illinois cutting back on its funding of social services because of its dire financial outlook, and Medicaid paying a smaller percentage of the overall cost of services, it is vital that the Mental Health Board allocate its dollars to best meet the needs of the community.

The board has faced criticism in recent years for a number of its spending decisions.

It recently spent about $4 million to expand its Crystal Lake headquarters, and it employs 33 people, many more than similar mental health boards across the state.

The largest mental health services provided in McHenry County, Family Service and Community Mental Health Center, closed its doors last year after the mental health board lent it hundreds of thousands of dollars just to make payroll.

The board also paid at least $30,000 in tuition and expenses for its former executive director, Sandy Lewis, to obtain her doctorate degree from the George Williams College of Education at Aurora University, according to documents obtained by the Northwest Herald under the Freedom of Information Act. Shortly after receiving her degree, Lewis left to take a job at Virginia Commonwealth University.

The County Board’s Public Health and Human Services Committee, led by Chairwoman Donna Kurtz, will vet the 15 candidates and provide recommendations to the full board by the end of February.

We encourage committee members to carefully consider the Mental Health Board’s past spending practices, and establish a vision for the future, before it makes its recommendations.

McHenry County taxpayers, and the clients in need of mental health and developmental disability services, are depending on it.

Pension crisis

If you think that Illinois’ pension crisis doesn’t really concern you because you’re not a teacher or a state employee, think again. The “Illinois effect” from that $96 billion pension shortfall affects everyone in the state.

Municipalities, even with stellar credit ratings, are having to pay a surcharge to borrow money because Illinois’ terrible reputation in the financial world is tarnishing them. Elementary and secondary schools are struggling with everything from classroom offerings to transportation because the state has cut back promised funding.

About 18,000 college students with needbased scholarships had their money cut off.

In fiscal 2008, pensions consumed 6 percent of the state budget; when the new fiscal year starts in July, that percentage is expected to increase to 16 percent unless something is done.

The previous General Assembly said it was urgent to reform pensions yet lawmakers did nothing. Are things going to have to get worse than they already are to get them to act?

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Over the line

To the Editor: I read Editor Dan McCaleb’s column on page 2 every Sunday. I get a great laugh sometimes. I get great information other times. But in last Sunday’s column, he made my blood boil.

A news entity shouldn’t be a lobbying tool – Op-Ed or not! McCaleb also consolidated his entire column on selecting the County Board chairman into one sentence and plastered it on page 1: “[County] Board knows better?” As a newspaper, he stepped way over the line.

I was glad to see the newspaper’s Editorial Board put in its place when county voters defeated Jack Franks’ referendum by a 2-to-1 margin. I have always believed the paper should report, not create news or be a lobbying tool for anyone, including your own paper.

I have held elected office on a County Board and two different cities in a different state prior to moving here 20 years ago. I also find it very disrespectful to the voters when newspapers endorsed candidates, even though they have endorsed me every time. The Northwest Herald does a fantastic job in educating voters through candidate questionnaires and research on numerous issues. Why not just let us voters decide beyond that point?

Every time you do these types of endorsements or lobbying, you actually are doing what you blamed the “no” voting members of the County Board for not doing in the new referendum issue being discussed. They didn’t do what you wanted them to do, so you belittle them with the comment that they think they are smarter than the voters.

Lack courage

To the Editor: Our local politicians will not solve the problem of gun proliferation and violence because they lack courage and creativity. For

example, state Rep. Mike Tryon sounded like he was reading from prescribed talking points when he stated the well-known bromide, “If you take away guns from the nonviolent people, then only the violent people have them.” (Northwest Herald, Dec. 28.)

In the same article, state Rep. Jack Franks said, “The bad guys are the ones with the guns.” “Bad guys?” I thought Al Capone was a “bad guy.” I thought the recently deceased Frank Calabrese was a “bad guy.”

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, James Holmes and Adam Lanza?

Just angry white guys with access to guns. Not identifiable “bad guys” until they made awful choices and teamed up with guns that made them famous.

“Bad guys?” They had no rap sheets. Maybe they were weird or geeky, smart or shy, depressed or broken, but it would have been hard to tell those young fellows from the rest of us until one horrible day.

If our local politicians had an original idea, that would be refreshing.

But a solution, never.

Choice of words

To the Editor: Celebrate? In regard to the two full pages of paid advertisement in last Sunday’s Northwest Herald by the McHenry County Citizens for Choice advocacy group. The banner headline stated, and I quote, “McHenry County Citizens for Choice Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade.” I was struck and saddened by the use of the word “celebrate.”

We gather to celebrate happy or fun events such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holidays, weddings and even sporting events. We even try to celebrate the life of a friend or loved one after they have passed away.

Distorted understanding

To the Editor: Re: Gun control.

Defenders of the Second Amendment, your militia is out of control.

Here’s the answer to it all. Get another hobby, folks. Just get another hobby.

To the Editor: Normally, I read your “It’s Your Write” and enjoy the political banter and do not feel compelled to respond to it. After reading “My own stuff” (Dec. 11), I just had to add my two cents.

No true Independent or Republican would ever include people who pay taxes and support themselves, regardless of their tax bracket, as the people Bill O’Reilly was alluding to that night.

He is talking about the people who would not normally vote (namely, those who get free cellphones, food stamps, public housing and many other government programs) and make a good living out of being poor but could work if they wanted to. The Democrats call this their “ground game,” in which they find votes by bribing and registering people who contribute very little otherwise.

Mr. Dave Sippel wrote about Romney raising his taxes if elected.

Are you kidding me? The tax rates now are called the Bush tax cuts for a reason.

The Republicans want to keep the taxes at their current rate or reduce them even further. This kind of distorted understanding of the world will cause it to founder instead of grow leaps and bounds like the great generations before that wanted one main thing from this great country and that is a chance to work and support themselves and their family.

Lastly, the election is over and Mr. Sippel got what he wanted, which is not what is best for our country.

Share great news

To the Editor: Re: McHenry High School District 156 wrestling team.

How did the wins and records of this year’s wrestling team get overlooked by the Northwest Herald Sports section?

The McHenry High School District 156 wrestling team won conference this year. They are undefeated, 23-0! This is wonderful news.

The Northwest Herald should be sharing with our community in a more in-depth and positive manner.

Congratulations to the coaches, boys, parents, family members and everyone else who worked so hard to help the team reach this goal. Great job. We are very proud of you and your hard work and dedication.

Keep up the good work during the rest of the season.

Icy weather to hit northern Ill. A significant ice storm may hit McHenry County today, according to a winter storm watch issued by the National Weather Service.

Freezing rain, possibly mixed with sleet, is expected to make its way to northern Illinois sometime late this morning, transitioning into rain later in the day as temperatures rise.

Icing will likely be exacerbated if ground temperatures remain well below freezing, especially in areas along and north of Interstate 80.

The National Weather Service warned that freezing rain can cause roads and walkways to become dangerous and ice accumulation on trees and power lines combined with wind gusts of up to 25 mph may cause outages.

School sale plan on course D-26 moves ahead with selling Maplewood as one unit of possible sites to which to relocate the district’s transportation department if it were able to sell Maplewood School, where busing operations now are located.

The district is trying to sell the vacant school, which is one of three schools closed since 2004 because of declining enrollment and budget cuts.

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – District 26 has decided to keep on course and continue marketing the vacant Maplewood School as one property and revisit the issue in about six months.

The district, including its architect Greg Stahler, completed a study recently

as a whole, the district would have to move the operations to another location, which could cost up to $2.9 million, according to district estimates.

Options included moving the transportation department to another district property, renting another property, adding onto the village’s public works garage, or reparceling the Maplewood

property to keep transportation there and sell the rest.

District officials recommended keeping transportation where it’s located, and reparceling the site to separate the school portion and the transportation department.

Larson, of Barrington, said she and her husband, Guy, involved their children in jumping after visiting a tournament when Casey was 6.

“My son said ‘Hey, can I try that?’ ” she said. “He excels at it. He went to

the Junior Olympics when he was 9.”

Cara also is smitten with soaring, her mother said.

Talented, enthusiastic skiers, sunny skies and Norge’s festive atmosphere kept visitors smiling.

Among those helping to keep the crowd jovial between jumps were Johnny “the German” Barnfield and Marty “the Viking” Knapp, both of Fox River Grove and both Norge club members.

With his red and white checked shirt and brown lederhosen, Barnfield said his character was “competing” with Knapp’s Viking. Knapp, 72, is a Norge mainstay, roaming the grounds bedecked with a curly blonde wig, Viking helmet, horn, leather skirt, leather satchel, and “fur” tunic, his bare knees poking out above his crisscross, leatherstrapped boots.

“I’ve been doing this for 34 or 35 years,” said the white-bearded man, his pale blue eyes twinkling. “I’m Norwegian. Dad was a ski jumper.”

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Village officials want a say in how much a former officer should receive for his pension.

The village’s Police Pension Board will hear arguments Tuesday on whether a former police officer should receive a larger pension.

The village is asking to intervene in the pension proceedings of Craig H. James of Lakewood, who was terminated by the Police Commission last year.

James is asking for a “lineof-duty” pension for injuries he suffered while on the job.

If his pension request is approved, he would receive 65 percent of his last annual salary, which was $81,675.

In lieu of a line-of-duty pension, James can receive a nonon-duty pension, which would be equal to 50 percent of his salary.

According to village documents, James suffered injuries during a slip-and-fall incident in December 2008 and after his vehicle was rearended in December 2009, both while on the job.

The village says that after the accident, James was able to perform his duties without reporting any pain and was able to take on a secondary assignment.

The village says James was working out regularly and not reporting any back issues.

James then left work early Aug. 16, 2010. He had not consulted with a doctor between May and August 2010, according to the village.

“We believe there’s some question whether the injury occurred in the line of duty,” village attorney Carlos Arevalo said.

Shakeup in Nunda sparks contested election races

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A shakeup within Nunda Township government has sparked three contested races next month.

Longtime Nunda Township Supervisor John Heisler resigned effective Jan. 3. His third term would have expired in April.

In his resignation letter, Heisler cited “recent events and family responsibilities” as the reasons for leaving the post. He was un-

available for comment for this article.

Trustee Jim Schlader was appointed to fill the supervisor position until the consolidated election in April. Mike Shorten has filled Schlader’s seat.

Schlader, who served for 12 years as a trustee, will not seek re-election as supervisor. But three people are vying for the spot in February’s primary.

Hearthstone goes off campus

8LOCAL BRIEFS

Hearthstone Communities has taken a significant step in expanding services by acquiring management of the rehabilitation unit at Centegra Specialty Hospital on South Street in Woodstock.

The unit has been renamed “Hearthstone at Centegra.” As I talked with Terry Egan, CEO at Hearthstone, and Kate Brennan, Hearthstone’s clinical liaison, their enthusiasm to provide patients in McHenry County with transitional care services is evident.

Transitional care involves a couple of hours of therapy each day, including physical, occupational and speech. The average patient is younger than 70 years of age and can tolerate a faster pace of rehab.

The average stay is 14 to 20 days. The majority of patients are post surgical, rehabbing from orthopedic surgery such as joint replacement. Hearthstone intends to include services to patients receiving post acute care for heart surgery and wound care.

Centegra sought Hearthstone’s expertise because of its experience providing long-term and rehab care and its Five Star rating with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Hearthstone added rehabilitation

WOODSTOCK – The public is invited to the dedication of the stage of the Woodstock Opera House, 121 E. Van Buren St., to Orson Welles. Welles made his professional debut as an American director of live theater at the Woodstock Opera House in 1934.

The dedication, which will be at 2 p.m. Feb. 10, begins a three-year commemoration

by Woodstock Celebrates Inc. of the association of Welles, a world-class figure in 20th century culture, with his hometown of Woodstock.

Events in May 2014 will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Todd Theatre Festival at the Woodstock Opera House, Welles’ direction of his first film in 1934 in Woodstock and publication on the Todd Press of “Everybody’s

been hired by Hearthstone, and that number may go as high as 30 as patient population increases. Hearthstone anticipates half the unit will be occupied by mid-February.

Egan said this is Hearthstone’s first off-campus program in Woodstock, and the close proximity to its location on Seminary Avenue will provide ample administrative support services. Egan is excited that Hearthstone can expand its mission to offer hope, healing and purposeful living to residents of McHenry County.

Other floors at South Street house the Hospice & Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois, adult behavioral health and Centegra’s billing department.

Brennan said with health care reforms going forward we may see shorter and reduced hospital stays to meet Medicare and insurance guidelines. Many hospitals are seeking community partnerships to minimize re-admissions to hospitals, maintain quality of care and keep costs down.

Brennan said Hearthstone has hired a complete staff for all three shifts, including nurses and certified nursing assistants. Some Centegra associates transitioned to become Hearthstone employees, exemplifying their commitment to the unit and the care provided. Centegra provided a group of associates to provide cross-training, that began Jan. 7. A team of 20 people has

Races include town clerk, highway commissioner don’t have to do that through the court system; we can do that between ourselves.”

In a counter-complaint, Heisler said the highway department’s lawsuit was merely political posturing.

The complaint was being used “as a means to obtain their ulterior motive” and is “nothing more than an attempt to get the Supervisor to resign,” he alleged in court documents.

“Absolutely not [true],” Kopsell said. “That would really be a waste of dollars, wouldn’t it?”

The township and road district in 2005 entered into an intergovernmental agreement that allowed Nunda Township to secure financing, and the highway department agreed to pay the interest and principal on the $1 million loan, according to court documents.

The loan sat in the bank for several months, earning $48,445 in interest income. But the township initially didn’t report the interest income, the com-

The township and its highway department have been tangled in a lawsuit over the funds for the road department’s maintenance garage.

The highway department, led by Commissioner Don Kopsell, sued the township, questioning where interest income off debt certificates issued in 2005 went. Township officials say that now that Heisler resigned, the lawsuit can be settled out of court.

“Both parties have come to an agreement, and we’ve stopped any litigation,” Schlader said. “... We’re going to work together to get that resolved. We

plaint states. The income was discovered during a forensic audit, township officials said.

Court documents say Heisler admitted in the May 3, 2012, letter that the interest income was transferred to the township town fund and used to pay administration costs, specifically the salaries of the supervisor, road commissioner, and a bookkeeper.

Costs for the maintenance garage exceeded $1 million, and the highway district paid about $75,000 from its general fund to finish the building.

The road district argued that the $48,000 could have gone toward the cost.

The recent changes also brought on other contested races.

Mary Elizabeth Day

Born: July 4, 1931; in Rome, Ga. Died: Jan. 19, 2013; in Barrington

CRYSTAL LAKE – Mary Elizabeth Day, 81, of Crystal Lake, died Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, at the Hospice of Northeastern Illinois Pepper Family Home in Barrington.

She was born July 4, 1931, in Rome, Ga., to Thomas and Carrie (Robertson) McElreath.

On Aug. 8, 1953, she married Robert J. Day at St. Thecla Church in Chicago.

As a young child, Mary Elizabeth always thought that the Fourth of July parades were for her birthday since it fell on that day. She was also known as “Georgia” after moving from Georgia to Detroit at the age of 12.

After graduating high school, Mary landed a job as a secretary at the Ford Motor Co. in Detroit. In 1950, during a USO dance, she met her husband, Bob. They especially loved to dance the jitterbug and listen to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey music. Bob served in Korea and in 1953 they married and stayed in the Chicago area.

Settling in Wheeling, they started a family. Mary was very happy to be a homemaker and raise her two daughters. In 1967, they moved to Arlington Heights, where they spent 32 wonderful years watching their daughters grow up and marry.

For 30 of those years, she was actively involved in Arlington Heights politics. Two of her favorite events of the year were The Opening Day and The Arlington Million, where she was wined and dined up in The Paddock Club.

In 2001, she and her husband moved to Crystal Lake to be closer to their daughter and her family.

We will all miss her dearly.

Survivors include her husband, Robert J. Day; children, Patricia (Robert) Comer of Albuquerque, N.M., and Allison (Arthur) Petty of Crystal Lake; four grandchildren, Rana (Leo) Doyal, Justin Comer, Kyle Petty and Michael Petty; and one great-grandchild, Kade Comer.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

A celebration of life will be scheduled during the summer, date to be announced.

For those wishing to send an expression of condolence, her family suggests a donation to Hospice & Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois, 405 Lake Zurich Road, Barrington, IL 60010.

Life without you has created a hole inside my heart But your light shines within me since we have been apart It will forever guide me; it helps me to hold back the dark.

When I need to feel you near me I go to a quiet place I reflect upon the life we had With tears falling down my face.

I cherish your heart’s memories Cause they bring you back to life Some caress me so gently And others cut me like a knife.

Slowly learning how to live without you I never thought I could And even beginning to smile again I never thought I would.

But your light still shines It is there to guide me It helps me to hold back the dark Your light is always shining, deep within my heart.

When my light joins with yours one day And we are once again together Time will be endless, Life will be eternal, Love will shine forever.

The only other time the Hawks began a season 5-0-0 was 1971-72.

“That was one of those games where maybe we didn’t play our best hockey like we’ve seen in the last five games, but as a team it doesn’t matter who goes out there you’ve got to find a way to win,” Toews said. “And we did that.”

“I feel good, I feel focused,” Crawford said. “The puck looks pretty big right now.

Also, everyone’s making the effort to play defense. It’s showing in the first bunch of games – guys are coming back to help out and that helps us get to offense after that.”

Warriors breeze to Fox Valley Conference tournament championship

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com

ALGONQUIN – After going undefeated in duals this season and winning the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title, McHenry was not going to be denied a second conference championship Saturday.

The Warriors won the FVC Meet with 261.5 points and placed all 14 of their wrestlers in the top five. Cary-

Grove was second with 210 followed

by Crystal Lake South (168), Crystal Lake Central (146) and Huntley (143).

“Our kids really wanted this,” McHenry coach Will Gaddy said.

“Everybody came ready to wrestle.”

It was the third consecutive team championship for the Warriors, who also won the Batavia tournament Jan. 12.

“It’s good to keep that hardware coming in,” Gaddy said.

Wade Lardy won at 152-pounds for the Warriors with a 6-1 decision against Dundee-Crown’s Tim Schanmier. Lardy said the individual win was nice but nothing could match taking home the team championship.

“I just really wanted the team to succeed,” Lardy said.

Cam Pait at 160 followed Lardy and gave McHenry its second individual championship. Pait decisioned Prai-

rie Ridge’s Charley Popp, 9-5, but the match was tied, 3-3, heading into the third period.

Pait got a reversal and two takedowns in the third but had trouble controlling Popp from on top. “[Popp] was slippery,” Pait said.

“He moves a lot on the bottom.”

Pait said Saturday was all about getting the team win.

BLOOMINGTON — The Crystal Lake Central girls competitive dance team accomplished something special Saturday afternoon that no other squad has done before.

The Tigers won the Class 2A State Dance Championship with a final score of 90.33 at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington. The Tigers edged out Lake Forest (89.88) by just .45 of a point.

It is particularly important because this year marked the first time that the Illinois High School Association has recognized competitive dance as a sport. It was previously pegged as an activity.

It was pandemonium when the Tigers found out they had won and a slice of the aftermath was captured in an 18 second YouTube video that was tweeted by the IHSA Twitter account.

The girls were hugging and crying while celebrating the first-ever state crown in the crowded Coliseum.

To get the opportunity to compete for the title, the Tigers had to advance out of the preliminary round Friday which featured 90 squads.

By the end of the day 30 teams advanced to the finals held Saturday.

No other area teams made the finals.

Guida does enough for split decision

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com CHICAGO — The fight certainly wasn’t Clay Guida’s best, and for a moment, when his UFC featherweight debut went to a split decision Saturday night, the Johnsburg native wasn’t quite sure what to think.

But Guida did just enough, feeding off a partisan hometown crowd at the United Center in UFC on Fox 6 to defeat

Hatsu Hioki. Guida held advantages on two judge’s scorecards, winning 30-27 and 29-28 with the dissenting vote giving Hioki a 29-28 decision.

Despite the nerves that came after Hioki’s edge was announced first, Guida – the former Chicago union carpenter – pulled out the win. He used a couple of impressive wrestling moves – including one in which he said he channeled former World Wrestling Federation champion Randy

Savage and he hoisted Hioki into the air.

Moves like that, Guida said, may have helped sway judges in the end.

“I’m never satisfied, but [I’m relieved],” Guida said.

“Now, the only place to go us up – get right back to the gym, right back to the wrestling room becoming a student of the game and continuing to learn and absorb. But I’m just very thankful.”

Hampshire coach Barnett calls career ‘gratifying’ Twenty years ago, Bob Barnett was McHenry’s boys basketball coach and his team had just suffered through its fourth losing season.

Barnett, who was 33-72 at McHenry, was fired as coach.

Now, Barnett considers that a career-changing moment.

“One of the best things that happened to me was getting fired at McHenry,” said Barnett, who is in his 11th season as Hampshire’s boys coach.

“I didn’t think so at the time.

I got to clear my mind a little bit, then I went to Hinckley-Big Rock and built a program.”

In 19 seasons coaching since then, Barnett’s teams have had two losing seasons.

And Barnett, whose career mark is now 423-295, is headed

to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame on April 27 in the Bloomington-Normal area.

Under the current rules, 400 career victories qualify a coach for the IBCA Hall of Fame. Barnett filled out the proper forms after hitting No. 400 last year and will go in in April.

It has been a great season for Barnett, who survived two heart attacks on the morning Bob Barnett of Nov. 20, the day the season opened. The Whip-Purs are 17-3 overall, 6-1 in the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division, one-half game ahead of Crystal

girls basketball: clc south 41, Prairie ridge 37

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson Lake Central.

“I’ve been blessed, I’ve been fortunate,” Barnett said. “I’ve had a lot of great kids. There’s always some bumps in the road, but it’s been incredible.

[Assistant] Ben Whitehouse has been with me all 11 years here, [former assistant] Steve Ream was a part of it too.

When it all comes to fruition, it’s very gratifying.”

Barnett played high school basketball and baseball at Oregon, Ill. and started his coaching career at Franklin Center.

“I never thought about [the IBCA Hall of Fame] when I started doing it 26 years ago,” Barnett said. “Nobody stays in it this long anymore. The pressure and stress, it’s a tough business to stay in. It’s been an interesting trip.”

Barnett still considers Dennis Kessel, his high school coach at Oregon, a mentor. For the year between McHenry and H-BR, Barnett worked as an assistant with Kessel at Mundelein. He said he learned more in that year than in any other he has coached. Barnett used to joke with Kessel that someday he would get his records.

Kessel had to miss Barnett’s 400th career win last season, but he attended the next game and presented Barnett with a

“He said, ‘You got me,’ ” Barnett said. “It was funny, but surreal.”

Nice surprise: RichmondBurton cross country coach Keith Forth arrived for a clinic at Oak Park-River Forest High School on Jan. 12 and received quite a surprise.

“Harvard coach Brett Willhoit walked in and congratulated me,” Forth said. “I said, ‘For what?’ And he said I was Coach of the Year. I had never looked.”

Forth had read the itinerary for the Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association clinic, but had not looked further to see he was the Class 1A Northern Divi-

sion Boys Coach of the Year.

R-B’s boys finished fifth in the Class 1A boys race at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet in November.

R-B’s James Kaht was 19th, earning Class 1A All-State honors. Forth looked at the times and discovered the Rockets were a combined 20 seconds from finishing in third place.

Forth now has his Coach of the Year plaque hanging on his basement wall with other memorabilia.

Gators hold off Wolves C-G girls basketball continues hot streak

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South’s Rachel Rasmussen hit big shots throughout the game and finished with a game-high 16 points.

The Gators’ Lauren Del Vecchio hit a hot streak in the middle of the game with three consecutive jumpers from about 16 feet away.

But South’s two biggest points may have come from senior guard Kelly Ryan, who played all of about 10 seconds.

With South and Prairie Ridge both mired in fourth-quarter funks, Ryan replaced injured Sara Mickow and drained a pair of free throws to end a 6-minute scoring drought and give the Gators a five-point lead.

After that, the points came easier and South held off the Wolves, 41-37, in their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division girls basketball game Saturday at Gator Alley.

Ryan’s sample size before Saturday was small – she was 2 for 2 from the line in varsity games – but Gators coach Kyle McCaughn picked her when Mickow suffered a sprained left ankle after getting knocked down while driving for a layup.

“I was mainly concerned about Sara at first,” Ryan said.

“I just knew what I had to do. I work hard [on free throws] in practice. I was thinking, ‘I need to put these in and get up the confidence.’ That kind of gave us a little momentum.”

Ryan came out on the next dead ball, but she had done enough to help the Gators (18-6 overall, 6-3 FVC Valley).

“That was huge. That’s what a senior does,” McCaughn said.

“She’s worked hard, and there she gets the opportunity and delivers. I could not be more

proud of her.”

The fourth quarter was scoreless on both sides until Alex Neckopulos made a free throw with 2:51 remaining to cut South’s lead to 33-30. On the next possession, Mickow drove the left side and was fouled by Neckopulos. Mickow could not get up on her own and was helped off the floor by McCaughn and South trainer Kevin Gerlach. She was on crutches with a splint on her ankle following the game, although McCaughn was not sure of the extent of the injury at that time.

Ryan came in and swished both shots for a 35-30 lead.

Chanel Fanter got a layup and Rasmussen made 3 of 4 free throws after that.

“Kelly’s one of our best freethrow shooters and those really brought some momentum,” Rasmussen said.

Rasmussen hit three 3-pointers, two in the first quarter to get the Gators going. She also was 5 of 6 at the line.

“We knew we were going to have to make some key shots like that,” Rasmussen said. “In practice, we’ve been working on coming off screens and being ready to shoot.”

Kelsey Bear led Prairie Ridge (14-9, 4-6) with 16 points and Sarah LeBeau made three 3s for nine points. The teams battled back and forth the first three quarters with LeBeau’s 3 giving the Wolves a 27-26 lead with 3:27 remaining in the third quarter. Rasmussen’s 3 a minute later put the Gators ahead for good. “[South] played great defense and we just didn’t make some shots,” Wolves coach Rob Baker said. “I can’t fault any of our girls’ efforts. We just don’t execute some times, but we’ll keep working on it and hopefully at the end of the season we’ll execute.”

CARY – The Cary-Grove girls basketball team continued their hot streak Saturday afternoon with a 37-21 Fox Valley Conferece Valley Division win over McHenry.

The win marks the eighth in a row for the Trojans (17-6, 8-1).

Joslyn Nicholson led the way for C-G, scoring a gamehigh 13 points to go along with four steals. Katie Barker added nine points and Olivia Jakubicek scored five while grabbing 12 rebounds.

The Warriors (12-14, 4-6) were led by Greta Taylor, who scored a team-high five points while McKayla Snedeker and Alissa Rosga each added four.

Despite taking an early edge, Guida was forced to absorb a couple of point-blank switch kicks to the face that “rung my bell a few times.” Hioki also depended on a series of body blows – including a few to the kidneys – that kept the Japanese featherweight alive throughout the three-round bout.

Guida countered with a steady ground-and-pound attack, scored a few takedowns and landed decent punches

Hernandez wins McHenry’s third title

“It’s a huge deal,” Pait said of winning the FVC Meet. “I’d rather have my team win it than me, if I had to pick.”

Angel Hernandez won McHenry’s third title with a 3-1 decision against Johnsburg’s Brandon Boyle at 285. Boyle entered the third period up 1-0 but Hernandez got the escape to tie the score.

Hernandez got the takedown with seconds left in the match to get the win.

“I was pretty tired. [Boyle’s] a strong kid. I was thinking it might go to overtime,” Hernandez said. “I’m glad it didn’t.”

Cary-Grove put some pressure on McHenry with Mike Cullen winning at 113, Logan Hanselmann at 120 and Michael

Underwood at 138.

Hanselmann edged Johnsburg’s Branden Peshek, 1-0, with a third-period escape with less than 10 seconds left.

“I knew I didn’t want to go to overtime,” Hanselmann said. “[Peshek’s] strong.”

The Trojans finished second in the FVC Valley with a 5-1 record, losing only to McHenry.

Hanselmann said his team wanted to erase that loss by winning the FVC Meet.

“We wanted to win this,” Hanselmann said. “We wanted to come out and make a statement.”

Underwood had the longest match of the day, getting an escape in the ultimate tiebreaker to defeat Crystal Lake South’s Nick Peters, 3-2.

“I think he probably won it,” Hioki said. “Under the rules, with takedowns being so important, he won under those terms. He won a contest, fairly, but I won a fight. I am not unhappy with the decision, it was split because it was so close.”

In between, Guida said he depended on the United Center crowd to see him through.

With every takedown, the crowd answered with chants of “Gui-da, Gui-da, Gui-da” – an energy that seemed to lift the former Johnsburg wrestler. He kept regular eye contact with family members and friends who made Saturday’s Illinois homecoming even more meaningful.

“Man, they were huge,” Guida said. “I really feel like they’re in there with me and a couple of times, I was just smiling or winking (at friends and relatives), but it means a lot.”

The Chicago venue didn’t play as a big of a factor in Crystal Lake native Mike Stumpf’s welterweight fight that preceded Guida’s bout. Stumpf dropped his second straight UFC decision in an unanimous loss to Pascal Krauss, who gained a 30-27 advantage on all three scorecards.

The fight may have been a deciding factor whether Stumpf will be able to maintain his UFC contract. Stumpf, who trains in Crystal Lake with Jeff Curran, fell to 0-2 in UFC after making an impressive showing, winning 11 of his 14 professional fights prior

to Saturday night’s loss.

Curran and Stumpf – who was not available for comment after his fight – agreed that a loss Saturday night could be enough to keep the Crystal Lake South graduate from getting another UFC shot.

Guida, meanwhile, will keep his focus on moving closer to getting a shot at the featherweight championship.

He admitted afterward that he wasn’t thrilled with his performance, but that in the end, returning to his winning ways and providing momentum for his future left Guida pleased with the outcome.

“We did enough,” Guida said. “It definitely wasn’t my most exciting fights and I’m ugly as always, but we got our hand raised at the end of the night.”

Huskies set futility record in loss The ASSOCIATED PRESS

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Northern Illinois broke its own NCAA Division I record for futility, scoring just four points in the first half of a 4225 loss to Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

The Huskies (4-14, 2-4 MidAmerican) also broke the record for lowest field goal percentage in a half in the shot clock era (3.2 percent) and lowest field goal percentage in a game (13.1 percent), and tied the mark for fewest made field goals in a half after hitting 1 of 31 attempts in the opening period. Abdel Bader scored on a fast break one minute into the game to put Northern Illinois up 2-0 for its only bucket of the half, and followed that with 29 straight misses.

“Our guys played hard,” Huskies coach Mark Montgomery said. “Unfortunately, we just couldn’t make a shot. We just needed someone to make a basket to get our team going, but I wouldn’t say that we were taking bad shots. We had makeable, open shots, they just wouldn’t go in, but our guys kept defending, kept playing hard.”

Northern Illinois, which features a lineup of mostly freshmen and sophomores, earlier this season set the record for fewest points in a first half with five against Dayton on Dec. 1.

Hahn adjusts to new role as Sox GM

CHICAGO – At first glance, White Sox general manager Rick Hahn looks like he could be selling insurance or teaching algebra or filing legal briefs.

Instead, he’s a boss in Bridgeport.

Granted, he’s an easily approachable boss who wears no-frills blue jeans, a black sweater and a Houndstooth sports coat. But he’s a boss nonetheless.

“It hasn’t been a real uncomfortable transition,” Hahn told me this weekend during the Sox annual fan convention.

“The only level of unease is what I put on myself.”

In that sense, Hahn is the same as his predecessor, Ken Williams.

The list of common traits basically ends there.

Hahn grew up in the wellto-do suburb of Winnetka and attended New Trier High

School. From there, he earned degrees from the University of Michigan and Harvard Law School and Northwestern’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

Williams was born in Berkeley, Calif., in 1964 – one of the most radical towns in one of the most turbulent times in modern U.S. history.

Always an athlete, Williams played football at Stanford before becoming a professional baseball player when the Sox drafted him in 1982.

Fast-forward about three decades. After completing his 12th season as the Sox general manager, Williams was promoted to executive vice president in October. Hahn succeeded Williams as general manager after spending a dozen seasons in the organization, most recently as assistant general manager.

Their time together has

SOX INSIDER Tom Musick served to confirm how different both men are. They use those differences to complement each other and to challenge each others’ baseball worldview.

Williams is combustible. He is bold and passionate. He is a furnace. Hahn is unflappable.

He is careful and contemplative. He is an air conditioner.

Together, the Sox hope to create the perfect climate for success.

The hot-cold analogy made sense to Hahn.

“That might be mildly oversimplifying it, but that’s part of it,” Hahn said.

How so?

“It comes down to, fundamentally, he’s a former

player who came up the ranks in player development and scouting,” Hahn said. “Former football player. Loves video.

Trusts his gut.

“My background, having spent a lot of time in school, is more analytical, perhaps. I have a legal background and sort of worked my way up not as a former player, but initially as an administrator.”

Ultimately, what matters most is whether the Sox win.

That’s where second-year manager Robin Ventura comes in. Ventura met often with Williams and Hahn in 2012 as the Sox went 85-77 to finish in second place in the AL Central.

Those conversations will continue this season, although Williams likely will not be present for nearly as many of them. Instead, he is expected to travel more on scouting missions during the summer in addition to his upper-level

advisory role.

Ventura said he appreciated his bosses’ contrasting styles.

“I know they have different views, but they are going to use it together,” Ventura said.

“They still communicate. And it’s still that way when they deal with me.

“They come in and we’ll have conversations just like we have in the past. What comes out of that might be different this year, but I’m very comfortable with the communication that goes on going into this season knowing that Rick’s the GM.” Ventura is more comfortable with most things in Year 2 of his high-profile job.

Hahn might need some time before he can say the same.

As an assistant general manager, Hahn said, he thought he pored over every detail and analyzed personnel

WIZARDS 86, BULLS 73

WASHINGTON – For the first 32 games of the season, the Washington Wizards were a sorry bunch – winning only four times. The comical comparison was the Washington Generals – the punching bag for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Not so much anymore.

Emeka Okafor had 15 points and 16 rebounds, helping the Wizards beat the Bulls, 86-73, on Saturday for their seventh victory in the past 10 games.

John Wall and Nene each scored 16 points for Washington, which has won consecutive games for the second time this season. The Wizards have won five straight at home for the first time in five years.

“We are the team we thought we were supposed to be,” Okafor said.

The run began before Wall returned from a left knee injury, and now the injury-riddled team is healthy again.

“We have back all the players. There is our team,” Nene said. “We gonna shut up people’s mouths. That’s what we’re going to do.”

The Bulls (26-17) had won a

season-high three in a row for the third time.

Nate Robinson scored 19 points for the Bulls, and Joakim Noah narrowly missed a triple-double with nine points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists, which equaled his career high.

“I think we got beat by a team that just played harder than us tonight,” Noah said.

“We played tired basketball tonight.”

The Bulls dominated Golden State at home Friday, leading throughout the game while Washington (11-31) easily beat undermanned Minnesota for its 10th victory of the season.

The Wizards outscored the Bulls 23-11 in the third quarter to take a 73-55 lead. The 11 points were a season low for the Bulls, who had twice as many turnovers (six) as field goals (three) in the period.

Jackets’ goal waved off • HAWKS Continued from page C1 Badly outplayed at the outset, the Hawks played methodical, poised and unhurried hockey all night.

Even when down 1-0, it seemed only a matter of time before they collected themselves and took control.

“Finding ways to win is important,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “You’re not going to be great every night or your best every night. Columbus played a hard-working game, working harder than us tonight. But we got key saves from [Crawford] tonight and that helped us.”

Steve Mason held his own with 21 saves for the Blue Jackets, who lost their third in a row. A goal by Derick Bras-

sard was waved off in the second period when the officials ruled Nick Foligno interfered with Crawford. That decision caused a sellout crowd of 18,381 to boo throughout the game.

On the power play after Jamal Mayers went to the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct, Brassard’s slap shot from the point beat Crawford.

But O’Rourke immediately waved off the goal. Replays showed Foligno’s right skate was in the crease, although there was no apparent contact between him and Crawford.

Between periods, Foligno said O’Rourke told him that the goal was disallowed because “I had bumped (Crawford) and didn’t give him time to reset.”

The crowd booed lustily at every opportunity the rest of the night.

moves from every angle. But since being promoted, Hahn has discovered new worries that he never knew existed.

“It switched once the title changed to, frankly, being the last thing I thought about when I went to bed and the first thing I thought about when I woke up,” Hahn said.

“If I woke up in the middle of the night, it was on my mind.

“So I did have a little bit of time on the margins, I guess, where I wasn’t thinking about my job [as assistant GM]. That has changed.

“In time, I’ll probably get more used to that.”

As long as the Sox win, Bridgeport’s newest boss will be just fine.

CHICAGO – Four years is a long time to wait for an opportunity.

Since the White Sox acquired him from the Atlanta Braves in 2008, Tyler Flowers has patiently bided his time.

He worked through the minors, often stuck in Triple-A Charlotte, and then found himself behind A.J. Pierzynski on the major league depth chart.

There were times Flowers believed he would never get the chance to be the Sox’s starting catcher. Finally, Pierzynski’s offseason departure has provided Flowers an opening he’s been eagerly anticipating.

“You don’t want to be the guy replacing A.J. Pierzynski,” Flowers said. “I’ve said that for a couple years where it’s going to be tough to be that guy. I think I’m capable of doing it though. I think by the end of the year this conversation might be a little different, they might be worse I don’t know. But I’m confident that I can handle the job.”

General manager Rick Hahn plans to give Flowers, 27, every opportunity to claim the starting catcher job during spring training. Besides the obvious challenges of going from a backup catcher that averages one start a week to the grind of starting nearly every game, Flowers is in the unenviable position of replacing Pierzynski, a fan favorite and member of the 2005 World Series championship team who signed with the Texas Rangers as a free agent.

“From my standpoint, I am concerned that it’s not easy to replace a fan favorite especially when a lot of what Tyler does is going to be perhaps harder to discern,” Hahn told the Northwest Herald. “What he does defensively, our comfort level pitchers have throwing to him and his ability to stick to the game plan – all of that is going to have a lot of benefit to us.”

Flowers’ .213 batting average and .296 on-base percentage last season will need improvement if he wants to start behind the plate beyond the All-Star break. But to expect Flowers to put up Pierzynski’s 2012 numbers – .278 average, 27 home runs and 77 RBI – is unrealistic. Increased playing time will help Flowers’ offensive consistency, however Hahn cautioned fans against fixating on his strikeouts.

“Sitting in the stands, he might strike out twice in a game and that’s what you remember,” Hahn said. “But even though he’s a different type of hitter than A.J., there’s value in his patience. There’s value in his power so I hope people don’t get too focused on perhaps a lower batting average or a higher strikeout rate and that he’s not A.J.”

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Azarenka beats Li, defends title

By JOHN PYE The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia – Victoria Azarenka had the bulk of the crowd against her.

The fireworks were fizzling out, and when she looked over the net she saw Li Na crashing to the court and almost knocking herself out.

Considering the cascading criticism she’d encountered after her previous win, Azarenka didn’t need the focus of the Australian Open final to be on another medical timeout.

So after defending her title with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over the sixth-seeded Li in one of the most unusual finals ever at Melbourne Park, Azarenka understandably dropped her racket and cried tears of relief late Saturday night.

She heaved as she sobbed into a towel beside the court, before regaining her composure to collect the trophy.

“It isn’t easy, that’s for sure, but I knew what I had to do,” the 23-year-old Belarusian said. “I had to stay calm. I had to stay positive. I just had to deal with the things that came onto me.”

There were a lot of those things squeezed into the 2-hour, 40-minute match. Li, who was playing her second Australian Open final in three years, twisted her ankle and tumbled to the court in the second and third sets.

The second time was on the point immediately after a 10-minute delay for the Australia Day fireworks – a familiar fixture in downtown Melbourne on Jan. 26, but

8SPORTS SHORTS Ravens hold last practice before heading south OWINGS MILLS, Md. – After one final practice at their own training facility, the Super Bowl-bound Baltimore Ravens packed their bags for a trip to New Orleans.

The Ravens had a light practice Saturday, their last of the season before heading to the Big Easy. The team is off Sunday and will head south Monday in anticipation of their matchup on Feb. 3 with the San Francisco 49ers.

After Saturday’s session, coach John Harbaugh said, “We’ve had a great week. We had an excellent practice.

The guys are very sharp and they’re excited. We’ll have to go down there and do just as well and do better.”

Victoria Azarenka hugs her trophy after winning the women’s final Saturday against Li Na at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia. not usually coinciding with a final.

Li had been sitting in her chair during the break, while Azarenka jogged and swung her racket around before leaving the court to rub some liniment into her legs to keep warm.

The 30-year-old Chinese player had tumbled to the court after twisting her left ankle and had it taped after falling in the fifth game of the second set. Immediately after the fireworks ceased, and with smoke still in the air, she twisted the ankle again, fell

and hit the back of her head on the hard court.

The 2011 French Open champion was treated immediately by a tournament doctor and assessed for a concussion in another medical timeout before resuming the match.

“I think I was a little bit worried when I was falling,” Li said, in her humorous, selfdeprecating fashion. “Because two seconds I couldn’t really see anything. It was totally black.

“So when the physio come, she was like, ‘Focus on my finger.’ I was laughing. I was

thinking, ‘This is tennis court, not like hospital.’ ” Li’s injury was obvious and attracted even more support for her from the 15,000-strong crowd.

Azarenka had generated some bad PR by taking a medical timeout after wasting five match points on her own serve in her semifinal win over American teenager Sloane Stephens on Thursday. She came back after the break and finished off Stephens in the next game, later telling an on-court interviewer that she “almost did the choke of the year.”

NEW YORK – Reliever David Robertson will earn $3.1 million under his one-year contract with the Yankees, a deal that increases New York’s projected payroll to about $206 million.

Robertson had asked for $3.55 million in salary arbitration and the Yankees offered $2.85 million. He made $1,625,000 last season, when the 27-year-old right-hander was 2-7 with a 2.67 ERA in an injury-filled year. He was an All-Star in 2011, when he went 4-0 with a 1.08 ERA. Robertson bruised his right foot in a spring training fall at home last March. He was given the closer’s job after Mariano Rivera’s season-ending knee injury in May, then went on

the disabled list from mid-May until mid-June because of a strained left oblique.

Musial remembered during funeral Mass

ST. LOUIS – Stan Musial was remembered as a Hall of Famer on and off the field during a 2-hour funeral Mass.

Broadcaster Bob Costas, his voice cracking at times, pointed out during Saturday’s lengthy tribute that in 92 years of life, Musial never let anyone down.

Among those in attendance were baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, former St. Louis standout Albert Pujols and Hall of Famers Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Bruce Sutter and Red Schoendienst.

The 90-year-old Schoendienst once roomed with Musial.

Griner breaks NCAA women’s blocks record

WACO, Texas – Baylor twotime All-American post player Brittney Griner has broken the NCAA women’s career record for blocks.

Griner’s 664th block broke the record set by Louella Tomlinson for St. Mary’s in California from 2007-11. It was Griner’s seventh Saturday for the top-ranked Lady Bears against No. 20 Oklahoma.

The 6-foot-8 Griner got the mark when she swatted away a shot by Aaryn Ellenberg with 10:25 left in the game. It came about 2½ minutes after Griner had matched Tomlinson’s record with another block against Ellenberg.

Players loose in final walkthrough

By OSKAR GARCIA The Associated Press

HONOLULU – Adrian Peterson signed and tossed miniature footballs into the Aloha Stadium stands, then chatted with Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Marcus Allen. Arian Foster played Peyton Manning’s bodyguard for stadium cameras and told fans he recently walked on hot lava.

The Pro Bowl players practiced a little, too, on a sunny Saturday in Honolulu a day before an all-star game that will likely be used to determine its own future.

But the game’s main purpose is fun, said several players including Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph and Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles.

“I feel like there’s no responsibility, it’s just all about fun,” Charles said. “You work hard during the year – it’s not like a competitive game.”

Competition – or at least the appearance of it – is exactly what the NFL is looking for from its stars today as it uses the game as a measurement of whether it’s worth putting on in future years. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the game will stop if play doesn’t improve, drawing mixed reactions from top players all over the league.

Bears cornerback Charles Tillman says he doesn’t want this year’s Pro Bowl players to be known as the group who led to the game’s cancellation, taking away an honor and privilege for future players.

“I don’t want this to happen on my watch,” he said.

Rudolph said the players’ natural competitiveness will help make the game entertaining.

“It’s a game we want to win, so it’ll be fun,” Rudolph said.

The game should see plenty of scoring, thanks to limits on blitzing and defensive schemes.

Houston tight end Owen Daniels says fans won’t see many big hits.

“You’re not going to see people play dirty or giving it up like a playoff game, but that’s just the way it is,” Daniels said. “I think you’ve got to accept that and know that we love being out here and I think you’ve got to know that the people here love having us out here.”

Daniels said he’s been motivated to return to the Pro Bowl after making his first all-star team in 2009. He said he sees the Pro Bowl as a good consolation for players who would rather be in the Super Bowl.

Peterson said moments like his chat with two NFL greats are what make the trip worthwhile for him.

“It’s the best part,” he said.

“It’s a bonus, man.”

Charles said he’s enjoyed watching the leadership of other Pro Bowl players as he’s been taking on a bigger leadership role with the Chiefs.

“I’m just trying to keep grinding and working hard,” he said. “Trying to be where I’m at right now – trying to get back here next year.”

Working mothers likely CFOs at home

A new poll reveals that as the family’s CFO, 59 percent of working mothers say they manage household expenses alone.

This is compared to 30 percent of working mothers who say they manage household expenses in a joint effort with their spouse and 11 percent who say their spouse manages household finances. Still, three-quarters (76 percent) of mothers say their household finances are managed successfully.

According to the survey, when given the choice, a strong majority (61 percent) of working mothers would prefer to get a 20 percent raise and continue working rather than take a year off from work. Only a quarter (25 percent) of working mothers say they wish they didn’t have to work most or all of the time. More than half (55 percent) are predominantly career oriented and do not work for financial reasons alone.

“The dynamic structure of household duties is constantly in flux, especially as the number of dual-income families has risen,” said Jennifer Owens, editorial director of Working Mother Media. “It’s not surprising, then, to see more and more careeroriented working mothers taking the lead on their family’s finances.”

Looking into 2013, working mothers are optimistic: More than three-quarters (79 percent) of working mothers say that they are confident they will be better off financially in 2013 than they were in 2012.

In 2013, working mothers prioritize being a better mother (29 percent) over being a better employee (2 percent). Yet, a majority of working mothers (55 percent) say they will strive to be both better mothers and better employees.

Moreover, balancing work and family is the top challenge working moms (54 percent) face in 2013, and only 14 percent think they are good at both being a mom and a good employee.

Despite their financial savvy, 46 percent of working mothers say paying off debt is one of the top challenges lying ahead for them in 2013 – second only to balancing work and family.

In line with the rest of the nation’s financial and economic concerns, working mothers’ top priorities in 2013 are centered on a set of financial objectives: saving more than last year (56 percent), making more money (54 percent), and putting more money into their kids’ college education funds than last year (36 percent).

Working mothers appear determined to improve their financial and career prospects in 2013, with 23 percent having set their eyes on getting a raise, 16 percent on getting a job with better pay and more responsibility, and 13 percent on getting a promotion.

An overwhelming majority of working mothers (94 percent) believe it is extremely important or very important to teach their kids to manage money.

Common techniques working mothers use to teach kids how to manage money are: teaching them to look for bargains (64 percent); teaching them basic arithmetic and investment techniques, depending on age (50 percent); and teaching them to build a budget for things they want/need (49 percent).

The Working Mother and Chase Slate Life of a Working Mother: Career, Family and Finances survey was fielded by Working Mother magazine among 822 working mothers nationwide between Dec. 7-19 about their expectations, challenges, and goals in 2013.

Offering aural solutions Choice Hearing Solutions in Huntley battles common stigmas

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Joli Robinson is confident her new store will impress any customer looking for aural assistance.

But she has to get them to come in first.

Robinson, the owner of Choice Hearing Solutions, which opened earlier this month, is fighting a stigma.

“Often times, patients will go to a hearing aid practice and be under-served,” she said. “They’ll have poor customer service, products, or they are dealing with people who don’t know the products.

“That’s probably the biggest obstacle.”

Choice Hearing Solutions, 10219 Vine St., Huntley, offers a list of services that includes hearing evaluations, hearing rehabilitation and custom ear protection for hunters, musicians, pilots and others.

The store carries a variety of hearing aid products from several manufacturers.

The store also does community outreach, speaking and providing screenings through agencies such as senior centers and park districts.

Robinson, who got her degree in communication disorders from Northern Illinois University, spent 11 years working for others in the industry before opening

Choice Hearing. Huntley seemed under-served to the Rockford resident.

“I know a lot of different residents and other professionals who’ve been telling me that this would be a good area to bring a hearing practice,” she said.

The stigma against hearing aid solutions can cause some to seek other options – like purchasing hearing products on the internet, an option Robinson said is unsafe.

“There are possibilities that someone is not hearing because of an ear infection,” she said.

“They could have a tumor. They could have impacted ear wax.

And if they don’t come into the clinic, no one is checking that for them.”

Owning her own store allows Robinson the chance to offer products or services her past places of work didn’t carry. She’s put an emphasis on aural rehabilitation

Josh Peckler – jpeckler@shawmedia.com

Audioprosthologist Joli Robinson shows Mike Turso of Huntley how to properly clean a hearing aid. in particular.

Robinson sets up classes and exercises on her website that can retrain the brain to hear more normally again, she said.

“Whether it’s for a very mild hearing loss or a more severe hearing loss, anytime they’re helping their hearing with hearing aids those rehab programs are very useful and beneficial to them,” she said.

To keep up with the always evolving world of hearing assistance, Robinson puts an emphasis on continuing education. She

recently attended the Wisconsin Alliance of Hearing Professionals annual convention.

The convention showcased, among other things, a new aspect of aural technology – the ability to drown out the ringing in a patient’s ear.

She already offers the product in her store.

“The trick is keeping up to date with all of the new technology changes,” she said.

“And testing them to see which ones really work best with my patients.”

Create new habits that are useful for better business

“The brain is constantly trying to automate processes, thereby dispelling them from consciousness; in this way, its work will be completed faster, more effectively and at a lower metabolic level. Consciousness, on the other hand, is slow, subject to error and ‘expensive.’”

– Gerhard Roth, 2004

Understanding how the brain works can help us do a better, more effective job at work. It turns out that most of our daily activities are habits – series of actions that run as a sequence and require little conscious thought.

Habits are so hard-wired in our brains that researchers looking into high performance found that people who were great at what they do couldn’t explain exactly how they did it. Surprised? Dig back in your own memories and think of something you do really well. In your mind, you can see yourself doing it. You might even imagine yourself having a conversation at the same time. But as you move your

attention to the steps of the activity itself, you become self-conscious.

You might find it harder to do the more closely you think about it. And that’s a good thing.

Brain scans of top athletes show that they use significantly less of their brains while playing compared to less accomplished athletes, the signature of a solid habit. Habits work out of consciousness, allowing your conscious attention to focus on other things. Your brain works to hard-wire everything it can to conserve energy and free your mind for things that require the expensive activity of thinking.

Innovative leaders know that the success of their organizations is directly related to the thinking of their employees. Leaders are, therefore, looking for ways to improve people’s thinking. Employees want to work smarter, too. They not only want to work smarter, they want to be smarter.

Could it be that the brain’s craving to create habits is one way that we are designed to grow smarter?

MARKETING Bob Sandidge & Anne Ward According to David Rock, author of “Quiet Leadership, Six Steps to Transforming Performance at Work,” the answer is a resounding yes! David says, “If we want to improve people’s performance, our job is to help them find new ways to approach situations that leaves their existing wiring where it is, and allows for the development and ultimately the hard wiring of new habits.”

Given that habits run below the conscious level, how can you design a new habit so that it becomes as useful and reliable as possible?

According to Charles Duhigg, author of the New York Times bestselling book, “The Power of Habit,” researchers at MIT discovered what every habit has in common. Becoming familiar with the three elements

of the Habit Loop will help you to change or eliminate a habit that’s not working for you or to create new habits for yourself and your team.

What the MIT researchers learned is that our brains store a habit sequence as one chunk of information. Once the Habit Loop starts, the brain will not feel “satisfied” until it is finished. That’s where the metabolic economy comes from: a sequence might involve over a hundred different behaviors that run as exactly one step!

If that sounds incredible, count the number of moves you make in the morning between the time you wake up and when you leave for work.

If you’re like most people, everything you do during that time is pretty much the same every work day. Your higher (thinking) brain can plan your entire business day while your auto-brain gets you out the door on time. You don’t even have to stick a Post-it on your mirror to remind you to brush your teeth.

It will take some time and energy

to change or create a habit, but knowing the Habit Loop helps you design for successful implementation.

1. Cue: Every habit has a starting point. What cue will alert your autobrain to run the sequence?

2. Routine: The actual sequence of behaviors.

3. Reward: What’s in it for you?

What happy dance makes it worthwhile for your brain to store this sequence in its habit repertoire?

Experiment with each element of the Habit Loop until it feels right.

Then, repetition will do the rest of the work.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

KeyLime Cove director of aquatics honored

Is it morally wrong to get help from the government?

Dear Dave,

I’m a single mom with three young children. I quit my nursing job a few years ago to be a stay-athome mom, and one year later my husband filed for divorce. The state isn’t keeping him accountable for child support, but now I qualify for food stamps. Do you feel it’s morally wrong to be on government assistance?

– Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,

There’s nothing morally wrong with receiving food stamps, as long as you’re not lying about your income or situation in order to receive them.

The biggest problem with food stamps, and other forms of government assistance, is many times a person becomes dependent on someone else to take care of them. I don’t want you and your kids to develop a victim mentality and become trapped in a cycle of substandard living.

You said you were a nurse before you came home to be with the kids, right? I’d suggest updating your nursing certification, if necessary, and going back to work in your field – maybe even as an emergency room nurse. I know the hours can be weird, but the pay is great. It would really get your income rolling again, plus you could afford to pay someone to look after the kids when necessary. You’ve been through a lot, Rebecca.

Life has knocked you around lately, so it’s okay if you need to take food stamps for a little while.

But I’d encourage you to start thinking from a long-term perspective as to what it’ll take to move forward and generate a good, livable income for you and your kids. Get into attack mode, take your nursing degree, intelligence and experience, and create a quality life for your family. I know you can do it.

– Dave

Dear Dave,

I made a huge mistake and allowed my sister to use my credit card. She said she’d pay back what she charged, but now she won’t pay the bill. The total was $5,500. Do you have any advice?

– Marie

Dear Marie,

I’m afraid I don’t have anything to give you that will make your sister grow some integrity and character. I used to tell my kids when they were younger not to bust the trust, because that kind of thing is very hard to put back together.

I’d be pretty upset about this too. Still, obsessing over it isn’t going to solve anything. And really, when it comes right down to it, you opened the door for this to happen. You really have no one to blame but yourself.

If it were me, I’d do whatever it took to pay this off quickly. Put in additional hours at your job or find some part-time work at night and on weekends for a few months. Somewhere along the line I’d also leave my sister a message saying I know she’s not going to pay this, but that everything is forgiven. I call something like this “paying your stupid tax,” and it’s something that all of us have had to pay at one time or another. Learn from the experience, Marie. Loaning money to family or friends can damage the relationship. Keep in mind, too, that she’s probably going to come back around wanting money at some point again. But I’m guessing you won’t make the same mistake twice, will you? The First National Bank of Marie is closed!

HUNTLEY – Anthony “TJ” Pollack, the director of aquatics at KeyLime Cove indoor water park resort, has been distinguished as the Department-Division Head Employee of the Year by the Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association’s state “Stars of the Industry” awards.

Pollack, of Huntley, was honored during the statewide competition at the 24th annual IHLA membership meeting and State Stars of the Industry luncheon held in Chicago.

Nearly 800 nominations were submitted across the state, with one winner selected in each of the 11 job categories.

“This past October TJ was named a regional winner, and I was thrilled to see him recognized at the state level last month,” said Dale McFarland, general manager of KeyLime Cove. “This is the only program in the state that recognizes employees in the hospitality industry. We are truly fortunate to have someone of TJ’s caliber overseeing our aquatics team and indoor water park.”

McFarland nominated Pollack for his consistent positive impact made in safety and hospitality to provide the best indoor water park experience for the thousands of families that visit KeyLime Cove each year. Last year, Pollack was distinguished as the “Manager of the Quarter” for the second quarter at KeyLime Cove.

“As the result of excellent services that employees such as Pollack provide, more than 86 million domestic visitors and 1.7 million international visitors choose to spend time in Illinois each year, spending about $80 million a day with Illinois businesses,” said IHLA President and CEO Marc J. Gordon.

“One in 10 jobs in Illinois is directly or indirectly supported by travel expenditures.”

Pollack will represent the state at the national Stars of the Industry awards on June 13 at the American Hotel & Lodging Association Awards conference in Denver.

Barn Nursery & Landscape joins ‘Revolutionary 100’

CARY – The Barn Nursery & Landscape joined the ranks of the horticulture industry’s top independent garden centers when it was named one of Today’s Garden Center’s Revolutionary 100.

The program, now in its eighth year, surveys garden center owners and managers and culminates in a listing of the 100 most revolutionary garden centers in the nation.

It is open to all independent garden centers, large and small, and is based on leadership and innovation, not on size or revenue.

“To be recognized on a national level is a big achievement for our business and our employees that work so hard to make the Barn a shopping destination in our area.

Their tireless enthusiasm, plant knowledge and growing experience make our garden center special. We couldn’t do it without them or our loyal customers,” said

President Tom Kusmerz Sr. Garden center owners and managers across the United States fill out an extensive online questionnaire covering topics such as customer and community service, management philosophy, marketing, use of technology, purchasing and profitability. The entrants are ranked according to a point system, and the 100 top entries make the list.

The Barn Nursery in Cary has been in business since 1985.

Some new approaches to marketing including a Barn Buddy Rewards Program that includes weekly emails and the use of social media, a nursery layout reorganization, and the 2006 launch of a locally grown line of trees, shrubs and evergreens called Barn Premium Select.

“The garden centers that made this year’s list are an exceptional group of forward-thinking independent retailers who thrived in during a tough economy, which helps their community,” said Today’s Garden Center Editor Carol Miller.

“We are proud to call them revolutionary.”

The 2013 Revolutionary 100 Awards program is sponsored by plant supplier Suntory Flowers.

MBAs play poker to win job at Caesars The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS – Forget the firm handshake and networking chit chat.

Business students who want a job at Caesars Entertainment need to work on their poker faces.

Nearly 300 Master of Business Administration students and alumni anted up for a three-day Texas Hold ‘em poker contest on last weekend in hopes of hauling in a corner office.

Hiring managers and corporate executives schmoozed with candidates during breaks in the action.

The annual MBA tournament on the Las Vegas Strip was little more than a marketing gimmick until last year, when Caesars decided to add cocktail hours and high-level interviews, said Tijuana Plant, who works in the company’s human resources department.

Now, the event is a serious recruitment tool.

The festive atmosphere and realmoney stakes help the company screen for the critical thinking ability and social aptitude needed in the gambling industry, where business is often mixed with pleasure, Plant said.

“We like to see analytical people,” she said. “Poker players are analytical and are willing to take strategic risk, and that is what we’re looking for.”

Caesars held a networking reception Friday and a two-hour presentation about its corporate culture Saturday. On Sunday, 20 lucky MBAs were invited to formally interview with casino bigwigs for a spot in the company’s 10-week management trainee program, which pays $16,000.

Apprentices perform a variety of high-level jobs, including masterminding marketing strategies and working with general managers to troubleshoot on properties, Plant said.

Last year, four of the 12 people accepted into the trainee program played in the tournament.

Students flew in from prestigious programs including Harvard Business School, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the MIT Sloan School of Management. But executives were on the alert for nerds.

“We’re not selling insurance. This is a fun industry, and we’re selling a lifestyle,” Plant said. “We’re watching for whether they’re not having a good time at all and just focusing on the job, or if they’re having fun and looking for a job at the same time. It’s kind of our test.”

Caesars Entertainment Corp. operates more than 40 casinos around the world, including Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the Emerald Casino Resort in South Africa and Harrah’s casinos all over the country.

Ashish Gupta was among the students who interviewed Sunday. He said he lasted a few hours in Friday’s tournament but spent most of the weekend making friends and learning about the casino industry.

“I just made my bid and had a good time,” said Gupta, who is in his second year at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. “I was not really stressed out about losing my buy-in.

It was cool just meeting people in an environment where you wouldn’t normally have that interaction.”

Some aspiring business moguls who did not land interviews still walked away from the tournament at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino with cash prizes approaching $8,000. Candidates had to ante from $85 to $225 to enter the eighth annual tournament, depending on how much they hoped to win.

Caesars appears to be the only casino to pit potential hires against each other around a card table.

But more companies are turning to this kind of “event recruiting” to compete for top candidates, though job seekers are not usually required to pay to play, said Emily Taylor, who teaches career management at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management.

“I think it’s a great strategy by Caesars,” she said. “The economy is improving and we’re starting to

see firms trying to distinguish themselves in different ways.”

Creative gambits also allow recruiters to establish a cultural match more quickly, said Lisa Feldman, executive director of MBA career management at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.

Last fall, a division of Amazon. com Inc. sponsored a Friday-night party for Haas students, she said.

Neutrogena Corp. invites students to write essays about skin care to win admission to a cocktail party. And one real estate investment management firm in Newport Beach, Calif., flies standout students to a golf tournament.

These events are designed to tell a story about the company, Feldman said, and the Caesars tournament told one, too.

“The gesture of having a buy-in kind of says, ‘We’re about real money,” she said.

LOS ANGELES – A lawsuit brought by a man whose hip implant caused metal poisoning accuses medical giant Johnson & Johnson of knowingly marketing the faulty implant that lawyers say left thousands of people with crippling problems or in need of replacement surgeries.

A California jury heard opening statements on Friday in the fraud and negligence suit – the first of thousands of similar suits to reach trial in the United States that involve an all-metal ball-and-socket hip joint that was pulled from the market two years ago.

A lawyer for plaintiff Loren Kransky showed jurors pictures from a surgery in which black material could be seen in the patient’s hip socket.

Attorney Michael Kelly said the material was from pieces of metal that had flaked off of the implant.

Kelly also played a segment of a doctor’s audio deposition in which he said he feared that if the material wasn’t removed, Kransky would have died. The pieces of metal were causing a form of metal poisoning, he said.

Kransky, a former North Dakota prison guard, sought hip replacement to relieve arthritic pain. He received the implant in 2007 and has since has had it replaced. He listened to opening statements Friday from a front row seat.

A lawyer for Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary, DePuy Orthopedics Inc., which manufactured the metal implant, said Friday that the 64-year-old Kransky had many pre-existing medical ailments. Attorney Alexander Calfo presented a list of 16 major diseases, including kidney cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and vascular disease as well as exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.

Gatorade to remove controversial ingredient

By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press

NEW YORK – PepsiCo Inc. is removing a controversial ingredient from its Gatorade sports drink in response to customer complaints.

Molly Carter, a spokeswoman for the company, said Friday that the removal of brominated vegetable oil was in the works over the past year after the company began “hearing rumblings” from consumers about the ingredient. She said it wasn’t a reaction to a recent petition on Change.org by a Mississippi teenager.

The ingredient is also used in other drinks, including some flavors of Powerade made by rival Coca-Cola Co. The Atlanta-based company did not say whether it would remove the ingredient from Powerade as well but noted that it takes customer concerns into account when looking for ways to improve its drinks.

Ingredients in food and drinks have come under greater scrutiny in recent years, helped by the ability of consumers to mobilize online.

The petition on Change.org noted that brominated vegeta-

ble oil has been patented as a flame retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. It had more than 200,000 supporters Friday.

For Gatorade, Carter said the ingredient is used as an “emulsifier,” meaning it distributes flavoring evenly so that it doesn’t collect at the surface. She said it was used only in select varieties including orange and “citrus cooler.”

Other drinks that use brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, include Coca-Cola’s Fanta and PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew. A spokesman for competitor Dr Pepper Snapple Group

said Sun Drop and Squirt are among its drinks that have BVO. Carter noted that the ingredient is not banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and that PepsiCo’s decision wasn’t the result of any health or safety concerns. She said it was specifically a response to concerns expressed

by Gatorade customers. The company’s decision was first reported by the trade journal Beverage Digest.

Pulin Modi, a spokesman for Change.org, said the move reflects the “shift in power we’re seeing between busi-

nesses and their customers.”

Sarah Kavanagh, the 15year-old who posted the petition in November, said she’s “very, very happy” that Gatorade is making the change. Kavanagh said she used to drink Gatorade frequently before she checked the ingredients to see if it was in line with her vegan diet. When she looked up brominated vegetable oil online, she didn’t like what she found.

Now that the ingredient is being removed, she said she’ll likely go back to drinking Gatorade. Kavanagh also taped a segment on the topic for The

Dr. Oz Show this week that is set to air Wednesday.

PepsiCo, based in Purchase, N.Y., is replacing the BVO in Gatorade with an ingredient called sucrose acetate isobutyrate, which Carter said will maintain the flavor and taste of the drinks.

Although Americans have been drinking less soda since 1998, sports drinks have remained a growth area for PepsiCo and Coca-Cola. Gatorade remains the dominant player with about 69 percent of the market, while Powerade has 30 percent, according to Beverage Digest.

Regulator says crippling cuts coming to New England fishing

By JAY LINDSAY The Associated Press

BOSTON – New England’s top fishing regulator said Friday that crippling cuts in catch limits this year are unavoidable and they will devastate what remains of the region’s once-flourishing fishing industry.

John Bullard, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Northeast office, said key fish populations are so weak, “draconian” cuts in catch are unavoidable.

“They cuts will have devastating impacts on the fleet, and on families, and on ports,” he told The Associated Press in an interview.

“That reality is here and we have to face it,” Bullard said.

Officials are set to meet next week to decide catch limits for fishermen who chase bottom-dwelling groundfish, such as cod and haddock. A key New England Fishery Management Council committee has already recommended massive cuts that fishermen have repeatedly warned will destroy the industry.

The centuries-old groundfish industry, which pulled in about $90 million in 2011, was a critical part of the nation’s early economy, and is so revered locally that a wooden cod replica hangs in the House

chamber of the Massachusetts Statehouse.

Bullard’s statements Friday follow years of battles between the industry, environmentalists and regulators over increasingly tough fishing rules, and months of effort to find some way to avoid catastrophic reductions.

But a new assessment of New England cod stocks, released this month, combined with a low catch this year is more evidence of their poor condition, Bullard said. Tough cuts are mandatory if fish populations are ever going to rebound, he said.

“Yes, stocks can get rebuilt, but they don’t get rebuilt on dreams, they get rebuilt on difficult decisions that get made,” he said. “So that’s what has to happen with New England groundfish.”

Fishermen have long disputed the accuracy of fishery science that drives regulation, pointing to numerous examples of bad estimates. They also say they’ve been needlessly squeezed by arbitrary and unneeded rules pushed to promote conservation. Environmentalists counter that regulators have too often caved to the industry, allowing overfishing that hurts stocks.

Bullard said failures by fishery managers are ultimately to blame for weak stocks that haven’t rebounded.

“We set the rules and clearly the rules have failed,” he said. “There’s no other conclusion.”

The fishery council’s science committee is recommending catch reductions of 81 percent for cod in the Gulf of Maine, to 1,249 metric tons, and 61 percent for cod in Georges Banks, to 2,506 metric tons. As recently as 2003, fishermen caught about 8,000 metric tons of Gulf of Maine cod and about 12,000 metric tons of cod in Georges Bank.

New Hampshire fishermen Dave Goethel, a council member, said the recommend catch limits aren’t “even remotely enough fish to make any of these boats viable businesses.”

“We’re not talking about, ‘Oh yeah, we’re going to have a tough year next year,’” Goethel said this earlier week.

“We’re talking about, you know, that’s it.’”

Bullard said he thinks the groundfish industry will ultimately continue in some form, as fishermen seek alternatives to stay in business for now.

Some fishermen have already turned to other commercial seafood, such as monkfish or lobster, and Bullard predicts people will hang on until the groundfish get healthy.

The upheaval will be painful, but it’s no different from what other industries face, he said.

CHARLESTON – Jay Ferguson of central Illinois keeps two alternate sets of business cards to meet the needs of his vastly different vocations.

One business card is for the Ferguson Law Office in Mattoon, where he works as an attorney with his father, Mark. The other card is for his Home Grown Drums business, through which he makes customized drums for fellow percussionists.

“I basically practice law all week and go out and play music all weekend, and evenings are spent in my workshop making instruments,” said Ferguson, who has a workshop in his Charleston home.

Ferguson said he has been playing the drums since his youth, when he received his first drum set in sixth grade.

He played percussion instruments for school bands in his hometown of Mattoon, where he graduated from high school in 1998.

After high school, he pursued his higher education in music at the University of Illinois in Urbana. Ferguson said he received undergraduate degrees in percussion and jazz performance in 2003 and

earned the U of I’s first graduate degree in jazz studies in 2005.

His passion for performing music continued as Ferguson attended law school at Northern Illinois University, where he graduated in 2008, and then started working as an attorney.

“It is just a wonderful outlet artistically,” Ferguson said of his music. “It pairs nicely with my career. It is very much the opposite of the practice of law. It offers a good outlet.”

Ferguson said he plays percussion instruments alongside professional musicians representing jazz and a variety of other musical genres, work that routinely takes him as far as St. Louis, Indianapolis and Chicago.

“Every gig that I play, I play on drums that I make,” Ferguson said.

The percussionist said he made his first drum set in 2001 while he was finishing his undergraduate degrees.

Ferguson said he needed a professional quality instrument and found that it would be more cost-effective to build his own.

Ferguson said he started with general woodworking skills that he learned from his

grandfather Wallace Bingaman and he outsourced some of the more specialized drummaking tasks to other tradesmen. He said his skills have continually advanced since then, and now his drums are made completely in-house.

Other than taking part in online workshops and exchanging ideas with stringed instrument makers, Ferguson said he is essentially selftaught as a drum maker. He said the most challenging task in the workshop is bringing the drum head together with the bearing edge of the drum.

“The layout has to be precise for everything to line up correctly and make for a playable instrument,” Ferguson said.

Now, Ferguson focuses on making custom snare drums, custom drum sets, and some Middle Eastern hand percussion instruments. He added that he can produce a drum set in an average of six weeks and a snare drum in three to four weeks.

Ferguson said his first customers were professional musicians he befriended while they were his undergraduate classmates. He said he built their drums at cost as a “sounding board” for his skills.

Seven Part-Time Jobs with Full-Time Pay

By Alida Moore, PayScale.com

If you often feel on top of things at work, but hopelessly behind at home, you’re not alone. Work-life balance -- and how to achieve it and maintain it -- is a top concern for many workers, says Katie Bardaro, lead analyst at online salary database PayScale.com. “People often believe that success at work means But does it have to be that way? Not necessarily if you choose a profession that allows you to earn a decent income without working too many hours. In fact, in some jobs, you can work part time and still earn more than the national median full-time salary of $39,500.

There is a catch, of course.

“You can’t expect to just walk into these jobs and cut your hours immediately,” Bardaro says. “It takes certain levels of education -- as well as diligence and hard work -- to reach this professional level.”

Still, consider one of these seven occupations in which you can earn more than $40,000 annually while working just 20 hours a week.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Personal ambitions and several work-related hopes have excellent chances of being fulfilled in the year ahead. This will come about due to not only your ingenuity, but to your boldness in experimenting with new ideas as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Oneon-one relationships could be problematic if they aren’t handled skillfully. For the sake of harmony, be prepared to make a compromise or concession.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When you’re able to use your initiative, things will

run quite smoothly. Conversely, you might rebel if demands are placed on you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Should you decide to get involved with a friend in something that has commercial overtones, it would be smart to keep the arrangement on a businesslike basis.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Most of your day is likely to be filled with a number of pleasant experiences, but as nighttime rolls around and people become tired, tempers will fray.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There’s a

chance you know someone with a very generous nature but a demanding attitude. When socializing with this person, your patience might be tested.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It behooves you to move cautiously in matters that pertain to your investments, especially regarding joint ventures. Take care not to get involved in something that is all sizzle but no steak.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you’re smart, you’ll go along with the line of least resistance. You might have to be mentally alert in

order to avoid opposition.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A failure on your part to keep pace with your duties could lead to a number of avoidable complications. Each additional task you neglect will add to the pressure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It’s in your best interest to avoid all political involvements with friends. What transpires at first might be interesting, but conditions could turn sour quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An extremely important objective might not be

as equally meaningful to most of your friends.

However, what is interesting to them could quickly become dominant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Sources of information will be of extreme importance to those with whom you have dealings. If you’re not the author of a vital tidbit, be sure to credit the person who is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Unless you manage your financial arrangements with skill, you are likely to come out on the short end. Don’t hesitate to speak up if you think you’re getting a bum deal.
