HUNTLEY – Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore avoided serving 30 days in jail after she recently turned over a $10,000 check to a Northbrook company to conduct a thorough audit of the township’s finances.

Last week, McHenry County Judge Michael Caldwell found Moore in contempt of court after she didn’t pay the $10,000 retainer to Northbookbased ECS Financial Services for a forensic audit that the Grafton Township trustees approved in November.

Moore was the lone dissenter in that vote, with Grafton’s four trustees all endorsing the audit.

Linda Moore, Grafton Township supervisor, was found last week in contempt of court after she didn’t pay the $10,000 retainer to ECS Financial Services.

eroes don't always wear white hats.

They don't always leap tall buildings in a single bound.

They aren't always the face of the franchise, the one relied upon for a last-minute come-from-behind victory.

But what heroes always are is worthy of imitation.

In McHenry County, there are heroes aplenty. Everyday heroes to be exact.

In November, we asked you to nomi-

nate the people you view as unsung heroes in the community.

Through stories, photos and videos at NWHerald.com, we'll now share a selection of their stories with you.

No doubt you, too, will be touched by the number of ways these individuals – our neighbors – are making a difference.

Whether it is providing health care to the uninsured or underinsured or providing guidance and mentoring to area

youths, our Everyday Heroes volunteer their time, energy and talents to make our communities better places to live.

The stories are as varied as the heroes themselves. And if you'd like to join them, we've even included a list of ways you can get involved in improving the area's quality of life.

In the meantime, we thank our Everyday Heroes for all they do and for letting us tell their stories. And we hope you will be as inspired as we are.

Ellis supporters: County Board should keep him

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Supporters of embattled McHenry County Mental Health Board President Lee Ellis are taking advantage of a two-week delay in his ouster to persuade or pressure McHenry County Board members to keep him.

An email sent Thursday to county mental health service providers asks them and their clients to call County Board members ahead of the Public Health and Human Services Committee’s vote Wednesday to fill three vacant seats with newcomers and not Ellis.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Column No. 52: End of rookie season It was a year ago when I got the call up to the “Bigs”… a chance to write a regular column for this newspaper. It might not have seemed like a big deal to you, especially after you may have read some of my columns, but to me, I was as happy as an elephant with a peanut machine.

That’s not to say it’s easy to write this stuff. Ask any columnist, and they’ll tell you that the hardest part of writing is finding a topic. Sometimes I just sit in my upstairs office of the house, staring out the window, searching for something to write about.

I remember during one afternoon of window-watching, I saw some squirrels chasing each other in our backyard. Their cheerfully unconcerned cavorting reminded me of their unpredictable scurryings as they try to cross our streets. Thus was born the idea to write a column about how we might educate our furry nutkins in proper street safety tactics.

Another time I was grocery shopping and had a near-violent shopping cart altercation with an elderly lady.

Hence, I discovered more fodder for a column as a shopping cart became a “Cartis Violentis” and a trip to Jewel

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava evolved into a scene from a “Mad Max” movie.

I have been spurred on by class reunions, all-you-can-eat buffets, khaki clothing, GPS devices and illogical brown bears. I have been motivated by left-handers, garage sailors, Mayan calendar makers, Kevin Bacon and the Queen of England. I have been inspired by coffee, Twinkies, the Death Star, TV remotes and the hapless Chicago Cubs.

I have discovered the natural laws of the kitchen universe, the joy of living in pure McHenry County, a quick explanation of slow traffic and the truth about Columbus. I have written frontwards, backwards, in French, Spanish, Jamaican, and in microwaved English.

I have investigated Facebookies, made an attempt at being a movie critic, reminisced with Beaver Cleaver and moved through life at the speed of love. I questioned hooky-playing

hockey players and complained about over-rejoicing footballers. I said goodbye to my favorite Chinese restaurant and thanks to the teachers of Connecticut. I even entertained the commonalities between me and my old boxer, Buddy.

I got grilled about barbequing and failed as a Junior Assistant Apprentice Gardener. I conceived a new neon-colored fabric that makes you walk faster (I called it “Remsped,” an anagram for “Mr. Speed”), and discovered that there’s an arrow between the “E” and the “x” in FedEx. I introduced you to a problem-solver named William of Ockham, contemplated the edge of the universe and warned you not to eat my columns.

I expressed my frustration with catchphrases and blizzard names, and calculated the rising costs of bottled water and cable TV. I welcomed the Centers of the Universe into the world, alerted you to the dangers of Baconators and dancing near picture windows, took a trip back to the early days of MCC, and linked Brussels sprouts with the Rules of the Road.

Yep, that pretty much covers my first year of writing for you. In trying

to find a pattern to my columns, I have encapsulated my topic content in a frequent observation I hear from my wife: “Honey, I love you, but sometimes you don’t appear to know what you are doing.”

And so, in harmony with that theme, I will continue to present my columns to you. Ideas for new columns? Oh, I got ideas like Jewel has Cartis Violenti. Look for such topics as how banjo playing can improve your marriage, what causes trouser combustion, and more “Dear Lefty” advice.

I also want to talk about a condition I call “Restless Furniture Syndrome” and will share with you my theory about “The Black Hole of Prada.”

So off I go into my sophomore season of columns. Thanks for a great rookie year. And if you get a bit confused about what I am writing, follow this simple rule and you’ll eventually understand: Just humor me.

8TODAY’S TALKER

Some patients won’t see nurses of different race

By JEFF KAROUB The Associated Press DETROIT – It’s been called one of medicine’s “open secrets” – allowing patients to refuse treatment by a doctor or nurse of another race.

In the latest example, a white man with a swastika tattoo insisted that black nurses not be allowed to touch his newborn. Now two black nurses are suing the hospital, claiming it bowed to his illegal demands.

The Michigan cases are among several lawsuits filed in recent years that highlight

this seldom-discussed issue, which quietly persists almost 60 years after the start of the civil rights movement.

The American Medical Association’s ethics code bars doctors from refusing to treat people based on race, gender and other criteria, but there are no specific policies for handling race-based requests from patients.

“In general, I don’t think honoring prejudicial preferences ... is morally justifiable” for a health care organization, said Dr. Susan Goold, a University of Michigan professor of internal medicine and public

health. “That said, you can’t cure bigotry ... There may be times when grudgingly acceding to a patient’s strongly held preferences is morally OK.” Those times could include patients who have been so traumatized – by rape or combat, for instance – that accommodating their request would be preferable to forcing on them a caregiver whose mere presence might aggravate the situation, she said.

Tonya Battle, a veteran nurse at Flint’s Hurley Medical Center, filed the first complaint against the hospital and a nursing manager, claiming a

note posted on an assignment clipboard read, “No AfricanAmerican nurse to take care of baby.” She says the note was later removed but black nurses weren’t assigned to care for the baby for about a month because of their race.

That case is now a federal lawsuit. In a statement earlier this week, Hurley President Melany Gavulic denied Battle’s claim, saying the father was told that his request could not be granted. Gavulic said the swastika tattoo “created anger and outrage in our staff,” and supervisors raised safety concerns.

Ill. grapples with concealed carry after Friday’s ruling

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – A federal appeals court on Friday narrowly rejected Illinois’ request to reconsider a ruling that found the state’s concealed carry weapons ban unconstitutional, leaving lawmakers in the only state that still prohibits concealed carry grappling with how to proceed.

The 5-4 ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gave state Attorney General Lisa Madigan the option of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court – a move that could affect gun laws in other states.

It also came on the same day that state lawmakers held a hearing on the issue in Chicago – a city that’s drawn national attention for its soaring gun violence and homicide rate, including the death of a 15-year-old honor student a mile from President Barack Obama’s home.

Madigan said in a statement she has not yet decided whether to appeal. But she

said a dissent written by four of the judges “provided a clear framework to guide the legislature in drafting a new law.” Those judges said some restrictions – including limits on who may carry and where they may do so – could be considered constitutional.

“With the 180-day deadline still in place, it is critical that the legislature continue to work to enact a law that will protect public safety,” said Madigan, a Democrat from Chicago.

Madigan had asked for the entire 10-judge federal appellate court to consider the case after a three-judge panel in December gave lawmakers until June 8 to legalize the concealed carry of firearms.

She argued that the ruling conflicts with decisions by other federal appellate courts and goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held.

In a 5-4 decision, with one judge not participating, the court denied Madigan’s request.

The majority did not ex-

pand on the opinion written

by Judge Richard Posner in December, which said there is “no suggestion that some unique characteristic of criminal activity in Illinois justifies the state’s taking a different approach from the other 49 states.”

Richard Pearson, the executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said the ruling makes clear that courts believe the prohibition violates Second Amendment rights.

If Madigan opts to appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to hear the case it’s possible the justices could strike down not only Illinois’ ban on concealed carry, but also gun restrictions in other states, such as New York and Maryland.

“If she does [appeal] I would be happy,” Pearson said. “There’s a very good chance they’ll rule in our favor.”

Madigan has 90 days to decide whether to ask the high court to hear the case.

book was “a matter of public concern.”

Craig on Thursday told the Sun-Times he was disappointed by the ruling and will appeal.

Peterson enters prison for sentence

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – Less than 24 hours after screaming out his innocence in court, Drew Peterson was transferred to an Illinois prison to begin serving his 38-year sentence for the murder of his third wife.

The former suburban Chicago police officer, whose case attracted widespread media attention and inspired a TV movie, entered the maximum-security Stateville prison outside Joliet early Friday. Prison officials said he could eventually be moved after an evaluation period.

A judge sentenced him Thursday for the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

He’s also a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. Savio’s death was originally ruled an accident, but it was re-examined after Stacey Peterson vanished in 2007 and eventually ruled a homicide.

Peterson, 59, had faced up to 60 years in prison. He will get four years’ credit for time he already served in jail.

AP photo

Family members of Kathleen Savio, (from left) brother Frank, sisters Anna Marie Doman and Susan Doman, talk to reporters Thursday after Judge Edward Burmila rejected a defense retrial motion for Drew Peterson and then sentenced Peterson to 38 years in prison for the 2004 murder of Kathleen, his third wife.

“I had prepared him for 60,” one of his attorneys, Joe Lopez, said Friday. “He felt good ... He thought he might get more.”

Peterson will likely remain at a maximum-security facility because he was convicted of first-degree murder, but his fame and status as a former police officer, which could make him a target of fellow inmates, may factor into a decision about where he is housed, Department of

Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said Friday.

Appearing calm as he sat to address the judge at Thursday’s sentencing, the usually calm Peterson suddenly exploded. Looking at Savio’s family, he leaned into a microphone and shouted, “I did not kill Kathleen!” He then made a 30-minute statement, during which he cried, shook uncontrollably and stopped several times to regain his composure.

8STATE BRIEFS Lawsuit by coach fired for sex book dismissed CHICAGO – A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former suburban Chicago high school guidance counselor and girls basketball coach who was fired after writing a racy book.

Bryan Craig was fired by the Rich Township High School District 227 on Sept. 18 for writing the self-published book that includes graphic sexual content.

Craig claimed his free speech rights were violated and was seeking $1 million. U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo this week threw out the lawsuit, saying Craig’s book was “little more than a lurid account of his own sexual preferences and exploits.”

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Bucklo also said Craig failed to prove his

Southern Ill. school district to have layoffs CARBONDALE – A southern Illinois school district is laying off one-third of its teachers and half of its non-certified staff because of cuts in state funding.

The move agreed upon Wednesday by the Giant City School District 130 board affects seven teaching positions, six support staffers and the school librarian for the next school year.

The district in recent years has eliminated its art program, increased fees for participation in extra-curricular activities and put energy-saving initiatives in place.

CHICAGO – The organization created to boost Chicago tourism is getting an additional $5 million to promote access to the city through O’Hare and Midway international airports.

Choose Chicago was formed during Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s first year in office. It created the city’s first coordinated national, international and local tourism campaign.

Emanuel announced Thursday the Chicago Department of Aviation will provide the additional funds. In a statement, Emanuel said the campaign will help Chicago reach its goal of having 50 million visitors each year and further establish Chicago as an international hub.

Chicago currently has about 43.6 million visitors annually.

Driver in Vegas shooting was rapper Obama, GOP don’t ANALYSIS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

see need to stop cuts

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Unlike in earlier rounds of budget brinkmanship, President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans both seem content to fight out their latest showdown on the current terrain, let across-the-board spending cuts take effect on March 1 and allow them to stay in place for weeks if not much longer.

This time, there is no market-rattling threat of a government default to force the two sides to compromise, no federal shutdown on the short-term horizon and no year-end deadline for preventing a tax increase for every working American.

The rhetoric is reminiscent, for sure.

“So far at least, the ideas that the Republicans have proposed ask nothing of the wealthiest Americans or the biggest corporations,” Obama said this week as he campaigned to pin the blame for any negative effects on his political opponents. “So the burden is all on the first responders, or seniors or middle class families,” he said in comments similar in tone to his re-election campaign.

Republicans, standing on political ground of their own choosing, responded sharply to the president’s fresh demand for higher taxes.

“Spending is the problem, spending must be the focus,” said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, while Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky declared, “There won’t be any easy off-ramps on this one. The days of 11thhour negotiations are over.”

A crisis atmosphere could yet develop this spring, when hundreds of thousands or even millions of threatened government furloughs begin to take effect and the spending cuts begin to bite. Already, Republicans are considering legislation to give the administration greater flexibility in making the cuts, a step that could minimize the impact on the public. It’s a step the

White House says it opposes, although the depth of that conviction has yet to be tested.

At heart, the present standoff is yet another indication of the political resistance to a compromise curbing the growth of Medicare, Medicaid and possibly Social Security, a step that both Obama and Republicans say is essential to restoring the nation’s fiscal health. It is the last major remaining challenge in divided government’s struggle, now in its third year, to reduce deficits by $4 trillion or more over a decade.

Counting the across-theboard cuts now beginning to command the nation’s attention – at a 10-year cost of $1.2 trillion – the president and Congress have racked up more than $3.6 trillion in savings. Much came from spending, although legislation that Republicans let pass at year’s end raised taxes on the wealthy to generate an estimated $600 billion for the Treasury over a decade.

The so-called sequester now approaching was never supposed to happen. It was designed as an unpalatable fallback, to take effect only in case a congressional supercommittee failed to come up with $1 trillion or more in savings from benefit programs.

Now, more than a year later, Republicans are fond of saying that the idea itself originated at the White House.

That skips lightly over the fact that their own votes helped enact it into law.

Also that they decided a month ago that it marked the moment of most leverage in their struggle to maneuver Obama and Democrats into curtailing benefit programs.

To accomplish that objective, they already have raised the debt limit without winning any cuts in exchange, a step they once vowed not to take.

And within two weeks, they are likely to launch legislation making sure the government operates without interruption when current funding authority runs out for most agencies on March 27.

U.S. joins fraud lawsuit against Lance Armstrong

By PETE YOST The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Justice Department joined a lawsuit Friday against disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong that alleges the former seven-time Tour de France champion concealed his use of performance-enhancing drugs and defrauded his longtime sponsor, the U.S. Postal Service.

The lawsuit alleges that riders on the postal servicesponsored team, including Armstrong, knowingly violated their postal service agreements by regularly Lance using banned Armstrong substances and methods to enhance their performance.

“Lance Armstrong and his cycling team took more than $30 million from the U.S. Postal Service based on their contractual promise to play fair and abide by the rules – including the rules against doping,” said U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen, whose office is handling the case. “The Postal Service has now seen its sponsorship unfairly associated with what has been described as ‘the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.’ ” In recent weeks, settlement discussions had been under way between the Justice Department and Armstrong’s lawyers.

A person familiar with the negotiations said Friday the two sides are tens of millions of dollars apart on how much Armstrong should pay to settle the case. The person spoke

on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the private talks.

From 1996 through 2004, the postal service sponsored a professional cycling team run

by Tailwind Sports Corp., and Armstrong was the lead rider.

From 1999 to 2004, he won six consecutive Tour de France titles.

The suit also said Johan Bruyneel, the team’s manager, knew that team members were using performance-enhancing substances and facilitated the practice.

The Justice Department notified the federal court that it is joining the lawsuit against Armstrong, Bruyneel and Tailwind and will file its formal complaint within 60 days.

In announcing it was joining the case, the Justice Department emphasized Armstrong’s concealment of his activities and said the coverup went back to at least 1998.

“The U.S. Postal Service Cycling Team was run as a fraudulent enterprise and individuals both inside and outside of sport aided and abetted this scheme and profited greatly,” said Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. “USADA applauds today’s action by the U.S. Department of Justice which holds promise for returning the many millions of federal dollars in ill-gotten gains generated by this fraud.”

Last month, USADA lobbied Attorney General Eric Holder for the Justice Department to join the lawsuit against Armstrong. It was USADA’s investigative report in October that led to Armstrong being stripped of his medals.

LAS VEGAS – The Maserati driver who died after being peppered with gunfire from someone in a Range Rover SUV, sparking a fiery crash that killed two others, was identified Friday as an aspiring rapper originally from Northern California.

The Clark County coroner confirmed that Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr. was killed, although the cause of death was still being investigated. It wasn’t clear Friday if Cherry died of gunshots or the crash.

The coroner hasn’t identified the taxi driver and his female passenger who died when the cab exploded early Thursday, but a family member identified the cab driver as Michael Boldon, 62.

Boldon’s older sister, Carolyn Jean Trimble, told The Associated Press that Boldon was a father and grandfather who was born and raised in

Law enforcement personal investigate the scene of a multi-vehicle accident Thursday on Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road.

Michigan and had been driving taxis since he moved to Las Vegas about 1½ years ago.

“Everybody just loved him,” Trimble said. “When that car hit that cab, Mike had to be in there talking and laughing.”

Police were searching for the Range Rover with dark tinted windows and custom rims that set off the fiery crash on the Las Vegas Strip. Be-

sides the three people killed, six other people were injured in what marked the latest in a series of violent episodes in Las Vegas in recent months.

Cherry’s great aunt, Patricia Sims, of Oakland, Calif., told AP that Cherry’s parents were flying to Las Vegas to claim their 27-year-old son’s body.

“Right now my heart is breaking,” Sims said. “This has really been a tragedy.”

Sims, 75, said Cherry grew up in the Berkeley and Oakland area and attended two Catholic high schools there.

He moved to Las Vegas in the last couple of years, though Sims said she didn’t know her nephew was a rapper using the name Kenny Clutch. Cherry was particularly close with Sims’ 106-year-old mother.

“I haven’t been able to tell her,” Sims said of Cherry’s death.

Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie told reporters Thursday that the shooting was sparked by an argument in the valet area of the nearby Aria hotel-casino, and it traveled to one of the busiest intersections on the Las Vegas Strip. As bullets flew from the Range Rover, the Maserati ran a red light and smashed into the taxi.

Three more cars and a utility truck also collided as the Range Rover sped off in the darkness at about 4:30 a.m.

8WORLD BRIEF

U.S., allies may keep 12K troops in Afghanistan The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The U.S. and its NATO allies revealed Friday they may keep as many as 12,000 troops in Afghanistan after the combat mission ends next year, largely American forces tasked with hunting down remnants of al-Qaida and helping Afghan forces with their own security.

Patience with the 11-yearold war has grown thin in the U.S. and Europe, yet Washington and its allies feel they cannot pick up and leave without risking a repeat of what happened in Afghanistan after Soviet troops withdrew in 1989: Attention turned elsewhere, the Taliban grabbed power and al-Qaida found refuge.

In disclosing that he and his NATO counterparts were discussing a residual force of between 8,000 and 12,000 troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said most allied defense ministers assured him they are committed to remaining part of a U.S.-led coalition.

“I feel very confident that we are going to get a number of nations to make that contribution for the enduring pres-

ence,” Panetta told a news conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels at the conclusion of a defense ministers meeting.

The U.S. and its allies have managed to stick together throughout the war, despite differing views. The Europeans have seen the military mission as mainly aimed at promoting stable governance; the Americans have viewed it as mainly combat. Some allies, including France, have already pulled out their combat troops.

The Obama administration has not said how many troops or diplomats it intends to keep in Afghanistan after 2014; it is in the early stages of negotiating a bilateral security agreement with Kabul that would set the legal parameters.

There currently are 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, down from a 2010 peak of 100,000.

In addition to targeting terrorists, the post-2014 missions are expected to be defined as training and advising a stilldeveloping Afghan army and police force and providing security for the U.S. and allied civilian and military presence, officials said.

Oscar Pistorius gets bail as murder trial looms PRETORIA, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius walked out of a South African court Friday a free man – for now – after a magistrate agreed to release him on bail ahead of his premeditated murder trial over the shooting death of his girlfriend.

But even as he was driven away from court and chased by videographers and photographers, questions continued to hound the Paralympian about what actually happened when he opened fire on Valentine’s Day inside his home and killed Reeva Steenkamp.

Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair, who agreed to bail with harsh restrictions for the athlete, expressed his own

Saturday, February 23, 2013 • Page A7

doubts about Pistorius’ story.

Those questions, highlighted at a four-day bail hearing that at times foreshadowed his coming trial, come from Pistorius’ account that he felt threatened and mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he fired the four shots at her in his bathroom.

“Why would [Pistorius] venture further into danger?”

Nair asked.

Pistorius’ supporters shouted “Yes!” when Nair made his decision after a nearly two-hour explanation of his ruling to a packed courtroom in Pretoria, South Africa’s capital. Nair set the bail at $113,000, with $11,300 in cash up front and proof that the rest is available.

NEWS

County Board cannot vote to add Ellis • ELLIS Continued from page A1 the mental health service community have been called in recent days regarding whether they would vote for a slate that did not include Ellis.

The calls and the email come from people affiliated with the Mental Health Board and a former mental health agency that collapsed last year despite Mental Health Board financial assistance.

The email to service providers was sent by Linda Mix, a board member of the McHenry County Behavioral Health Foundation, which is the Mental Health Board’s fundraising arm.

The calls to County Board members that the Northwest Herald knows about came from Ellis and from Thomas Webb, board vice chairman of the now-shuttered Family Service and Community Mental Health Center, where Mix also had worked as a volunteer.

Mix’s email implores service providers, which rely heavily on property-tax revenue disbursed by the Mental Health Board, that consumers of mental health services need to call County Board members to “resurrect the vote to include Lee Ellis.” The public health committee had voted Feb. 15 to recommend a new slate for County Board confirmation the following Tuesday, but board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, pulled the appointments and others until March 5 because of concerns over Open Meetings Act compliance.

Mix, who said she did not have time to talk Friday morning, said she’s fighting because the Mental Health Board “helps out the consumers,” and declined to comment further.

However, public health committee Chairwoman Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, questioned the appropriateness of drawing agencies reliant on Mental Health Board funding into a fight over the board’s leadership.

“I think it’s real important that service providers don’t get caught in a war because they are at the mercy of the Mental Health Board for funding in many cases, and their independence and objectivity needs to be respected,” Kurtz said.

“From the very beginning, good judgment would dictate that no one would ever place the service provider agencies in a position where they would have to vouch for any member of the Mental Health Board. I’d hate for service providers to be used as pawns for someone else’s political game.”

Critics over the years have alleged that the Mental Health Board has become a bloated bureaucracy that spends far too much tax revenue on administration and overhead that should instead be disbursed to agencies treating the mentally ill and disabled, as it was created by voter referendum to do. About onethird of the $13.15 million the Mental Health Board collected last year stayed internal – it employs more than 30 people and is paying back $3 million in economic stimulus bonds it used to almost quadruple the size of its Crystal Lake headquarters.

Criticism of Mental Health Board spending has increased in the past year over issues such as spending almost $1.8 million to try to save Family Service and contractually paying more than $30,000 for the former executive director to get her doctorate – she left months after receiving it.

Webb said Friday that he reached out to new County Board members Robert Martens Sr., a former CEO of Family Service, and Joe Gottemoller, an attorney hired to move Family Service through the legal process of closing.

Webb said he offered his opinion to them and how they vote “is up to their conscience.”

“I’ve known Lee Ellis since before the final demise of Family Service. He sat in on our Finance Committee meetings for over a year – he has experience in the banking industry, and a lot of common sense and a lot of compassion. I think there’s a witch hunt out for him, which I think is despicable, really,” Webb said.

Gottemoller said he told Webb in no uncertain terms that he would respect the committee process and whatever names come out of the public health committee for confirmation.

The County Board cannot vote to add Ellis, but can reject nominees and send them back to committee for reconsideration. The County Board chairman under board rules has the prerogative to add names to the agenda within 48 hours of a meeting, but approval still requires a majority board vote.

“My response to him was that the process is that the committees make the recommendations. That’s what we do,” Gottemoller said. “Assuming it comes back the same way, I’m going to support what the committee [recommends].”

The Mental Health Board lent Family Service about $1.4 million to keep it afloat. It paid an additional $398,000 to North Central Behavioral Health Systems in a last-ditch effort to save Family Service through a merger that fell through.

Martens said he received a call earlier this week from Ellis, who said he wanted to stay on the Mental Health Board and asked Martens if he would be supportive. Martens, who retired from Family Service a year and a half before its collapse after 34 years as CEO, said he responded that he thinks Ellis was a good candidate, but that he is still watching how the situation develops.

“I’ve had experience with him in terms of his knowledge of the budget. He expects a lot from those who are getting funded by the [Mental Health] Board,” Martens said.

“He provides some continuity, and some continuity is a good thing, but some change is needed as well. Whether that’s one person or three persons, that’s up to the entire County

Board.”

Ellis could not be reached for comment.

Public health committee member Sandra Fay Salgado said that she does not anticipate any significant change of heart when the committee votes again Wednesday morning because its first vote moved forward 6-0. The committee spent nine hours last week openly interviewing 12 candidates for four vacant seats.

Kurtz said she is willing to reopen the process Wednesday if committee members wish, but said that is not her preference, given the work they put into it.

Salgado, R-McHenry, is the human resources director for Pioneer Center for Human Services, the county’s largest social service provider and a vocal critic of Mental Health Board spending.

“Obviously it looks like there’s something of a campaign on this. I don’t feel we did anything secret or meant not to be transparent,” Salgado said. “Hopefully, we’ll have the same result [Wednesday] and move it forward.”

Mix’s email incorrectly alleges that Hill sent the recommendations back to committee because members used secret ballots to cast their votes. Hill pulled the recommended appointments from four committees out of concern that their agendas – which did not explicitly state that a vote would be taken – might not comply with new Illinois Open Meetings Act requirements.

Public health committee members whittled down the 12 nominees on paper and voted openly on their final choices.

Assistant State’s Attorney Jana Blake Dickson, who attended the meeting, said doing so does not violate the law. The Open Meetings Act forbids elected officials from casting secret ballots for final votes.

8BRIEFS Gov: 6 underground nuclear tanks leaking YAKIMA, Wash. – Six underground tanks that hold a brew of radioactive and toxic waste at the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site are leaking, federal and state officials said Friday.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said the leaking material poses no immediate risk to public safety or the environment because it would take a while – perhaps years – to reach groundwater. But the leaking tanks raise new concerns about delays for emptying them and strike another blow to federal efforts to clean up

south-central Washington’s Hanford nuclear reservation, where successes often are overshadowed by delays, budget overruns and technological challenges.

Department of Energy spokeswoman Lindsey Geisler said there was no immediate health risk.

Egypt opposition says election to add tensions CAIRO – Egypt’s president set parliamentary elections to begin in April – a decision that an opposition leader denounced Friday as “a recipe for disaster” because of ongoing political turmoil in the country.

About 15,000 people took to the streets in the Suez Canal city of Port Said to demonstrate against President Mohammed Morsi, hanging effigies of him in the main square. Residents have been on a general strike for six days, demanding punishment for what they considered a heavyhanded police crackdown during unrest in the city.

Morsi scheduled the staggered, four-stage voting process to begin April 27 and end in June. The newly elected parliament would convene on July 6, according to a decree issued late Thursday night.

Moore points to clean audits in first years of term • AUDIT Continued from page A1 The trustees have pushed for a thorough review of the township’s books during their ongoing legal battles with Moore.

A forensic audit can be used in legal proceedings to uncover any financial wrongdoing, such as fraud.

In his ruling, Caldwell allowed Moore to pay the retainer or serve 30 days in jail.

The embattled supervisor said she didn’t immediately pay the check because she received bad advice from her attorney, John Nelson, on whether she had the authority to sign the forensic audit.

“I have always been supportive of the idea of creating a forensic audit. It is the right thing to do to get this audit done,” Moore told the Northwest Herald. “I needed clarification on whether or not this was in accordance to township code.”

But Moore’s election challengers doubt the supervisor’s rationale. Both Pam Fender and Marty Waitzman said Moore simply didn’t want the forensic audit to proceed and was only forced to do so by court order.

The three candidates face off Tuesday in a primary election that has been dominated

by Moore’s management of the township during the past four years.

“She looked to avoid or defer it, as far as possible. I don’t know if she thinks the forensic audit would affect the election or not. But I do wonder,” Waitzman said. “She is trying to avoid going to jail.”

Fender said Moore is to blame for the tumultuous state of the township’s finances during the past four years.

A forensic audit would definitely help Moore straighten out the township’s accounts that she was elected to oversee, but the $10,000 check was mailed far too late after the contract was approved, Fender

said.

“To keep herself out of jail, she would do anything,” Fender said. “She will pay anything the judge tells her to pay.”

Defendingherrecord,Moore pointed to clean, annual audits in the first two years of her term as proof of being a good steward of taxpayer dollars.

But more recent annual audits in 2011 and 2012 have yet to be finalized. Moore also has encountered resistance from one area bank as the township looks for a long-term solution to its increasingly dire financial situation.

The road district recently bailed out the township, after the Grafton Township Board nearly exhausted all of its cash in repaying the district for a loan on the defunct town hall project. The $110,000 loan from the road district will cover only payroll and other expenses until mid-March.

The bank informed Moore that it won’t lend money until last year’s audit is filed.

Sharing in the burden While it amounts to just a tiny drop into a very deep bucket, we have to commend Illinois lawmakers who are giving up their state pensions.

Members of the General Assembly can participate in the state-subsidized pension system, which allows lawmakers to contribute 11.5 percent of their salary. Depending on length of service, those contributions can be For the record worth hundreds of thousands of We applaud state lawmakers dollars in pension who have decided to give up payments. their pensions. They are leadAbout two ing by example. dozen General Assembly members have said they are forgoing participation in the state’s pension system. That includes Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-South Elgin.

We know McConnaughay already has a public pension from her 20 years in elected office in Kane County. But given the dismal reality of the state’s fiscal situation, it’s the type of symbolic gesture that lawmakers need to consider.

There are 177 members of the General Assembly. And hundreds more no longer in office are collecting pensions too. We get that they paid into the system, and don’t deny that everyone deserves a way to retire.

But in large part because of failings of past General Assemblies and governors, the state’s 12.8 million residents are on the hook for decades of fiscal mismanagement, which have resulted in a nearly $100 billion unfunded pension liability and at least $8 billion in unpaid bills.

If lawmakers ever actually craft a solution to the financial quagmire, it’s going to require sacrifice by taxpayers.

Lawmakers have a rare opportunity to lead by example and start moving the state in the right direction by sharing in that burden.

Fading marriage The University of Virginia’s National Marriage Project has released another disturbing report. It reiterates that marriage remains strong for college-educated couples – but it’s disintegrating in “Middle America,” the nearly 60 percent of the populace with only high school diplomas.

As the gulf between affluent Americans and the less-privileged keeps widening, vast numbers of high school graduates apparently can’t find careers solid enough to support secure families.

“Among that group, 44 percent of children are now born outside of marriage, up sharply from 13 percent in the 1980s,” the project says.

This bodes ill because “children born or raised outside of marriage are more likely to suffer from a range of emotional and social problems – including drug use, depression, attempted suicide and dropping out of high school – compared to children in intact married families.”

To boost wedlock among less-affluent high school graduates, the National Marriage Project report urges various efforts such as more specialized job training, and “triple the child tax credit to shore up the economic foundations of family life in Middle America.”

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Gun views To the Editor: Would the Northwest Herald explain in more detail the position it would take on a candidate running for Congress who is cozy with the NRA. Specifically, would the newspaper be approving of Debbie Halvorson, who is interested in the seat being vacated by Jesse Jackson Jr. She was very outspoken in supporting the position of the NRA only a year ago.

Would the newspaper boldly support the majority of the American people when it voices its approval of background checks, banning assault rifles, and other gun issues.

Backing the Second Amendment also means “regulation,” as is spelled out clearly in the amendment.

Sometimes, Second Amendment advocates don’t have the words “regulated militia” in their vocabulary, so maybe you could remind us to follow the Constitution. And more to the point, could the newspaper now support the candidate who is taking the position of most Americans with regard to supporting gun regulation?

Based on facts To the Editor: I was surprised to read state

Sen. Pam Althoff’s comments in Saturday’s newspaper (Feb. 16) that claimed Walmart’s recent move to Johnsburg was the result of a border agreement I negotiated with Johnsburg in 1999. The senator is wrong.

The new Walmart is located on land that was annexed to Johnsburg long before McHenry entered into the agreement she referenced in her letter. Sen. Althoff certainly should know this since she also signed that agreement on behalf of the city of McHenry.

The citizens of McHenry can be assured that all statements I will make during the upcoming mayoral campaign will be based on facts and will not be an attempt to smear my opponent.

we will be getting a new supervisor. As a trustee for the past eight years, I have closely observed the candidates.

As clerk, Bridgett Provenzano has been forgetful, we’ve had to correct numerous minutes; and in my opinion, she is not supervisor material.

As trustee, Lee Jennings has demonstrated knowledge of our business, and willingness to work toward joint solutions for the good of our citizens.

Lee will be an excellent supervisor.

Remember the blizzard of 2012?

Our township roads were open the same day the blizzard ended, and the next day some county roads were still closed. Don Kopsell has done well for Nunda Township and should be re-elected.

The cruel and unusual punishment of solitary confinement WASHINGTON – “Zero Dark Thirty,” a nominee for Sunday’s Oscar as Best Picture, reignited debate about whether the waterboarding of terrorism suspects was torture.

This practice, which ended in 2003, was used on only three suspects.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of American prison inmates are kept in protracted solitary confinement that arguably constitutes torture and probably violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishments.”

Noting that half of all prison suicides are committed by prisoners held in isolation, Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., has prompted an independent assessment of solitary confinement in federal prisons.

State prisons are equally vulnerable to Eighth Amendment challenges concerning whether inmates are subjected to “substantial risk of serious harm.”

America, with 5 percent of the world’s population, has 25 percent of its prisoners. Mass incarceration, which means a perpetual crisis of prisoners re-entering society, has generated understanding of solitary

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

confinement’s consequences when used as a long-term condition for an estimated 25,000 inmates in federal and state supermax prisons – and perhaps 80,000 others in isolation sections within regular prisons.

Clearly, solitary confinement involves much more than the isolation of incorrigibly violent individuals for the protection of other inmates or prison personnel.

Federal law prohibits conduct “specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering.” And “severe” physical pain is not limited to “excruciating or agonizing” pain, or pain “equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily functions, or even death.” The mental suffering from prolonged solitary confinement puts the confined at risk of brain impairment.

Supermax prisons isolate inmates from social contact. Often, prisoners are in their cells, sometimes smaller than 8 feet by 12 feet, 23 hours a day, released only for a shower or exercise in a small fenced-in outdoor space. Isolation

VIEWS George Will changes the way the brain works, often making individuals more impulsive, less able to control themselves. The mental pain of solitary confinement is crippling: Brain studies reveal durable impairments and abnormalities in individuals denied social interaction. Plainly put, prisoners often lose their minds.

The first supermax began functioning in Marion, Ill., in 1983.

By the beginning of this century, there were more than 60 around the nation, and solitary-confinement facilities were in most maximum-security prisons. In an article (“Hellhole”) in the March 30, 2009, New Yorker, Atul Gawande, a surgeon who writes on public health issues, noted, “One of the paradoxes of solitary confinement is that, as starved as people become for companionship, the experience typically leaves them unfit for social interaction.”

And those who are most incapaci-

tated by solitary confinement are forced to remain in it because they have been rendered unfit for “the highly social world of mainline prison or free society.”

Last year, The New York Times reported that of the prisoners sent to solitary confinement in California’s Pelican Bay prison because of gang affiliation, “248 have been there for five to 10 years; 218 for 10 to 20 years; and 90 for 20 years or more.”

Two centuries ago, solitary confinement was considered a humane reform, promoting reflection, repentance – penitence; hence penitentiaries – and rehabilitation.

Quakerism influenced the design of Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary, which opened in 1829 with a regime of strict solitude. In 1842, Charles Dickens visited it: “I hold this slow and daily tampering with the mysteries of the brain, to be immeasurably worse than any torture of the body: and because its ghastly signs and tokens are not so palpable to the eye and sense of touch as scars upon the flesh; because its wounds are not

upon the surface, and it extorts few cries that human ears can hear; therefore I the more denounce it, as a secret punishment which slumbering humanity is not roused up to stay.”

In 1890, the U.S. Supreme Court said of solitary confinement essentially what Dickens had said: “A considerable number of the prisoners fell, after even a short confinement, into a semi-fatuous condition, from which it was next to impossible to arouse them, and others became violently insane; others, still, committed suicide.” Americans should be roused against this by decency – and prudence.

Mass incarceration is expensive (California spends almost twice as much on prisons as on universities) and solitary confinement costs, on average, three times as much per inmate as in normal prisons. And remember: Most persons now in solitary confinement will someday be back on America’s streets, some of them rendered psychotic by what are called correctional institutions.

MCC DISMISSES HEBRON CANDIDATE CRYSTAL LAKE – An embattled Hebron village president candidate who was arrested last month on drug charges has lost his job at McHenry County College.

John Jacobson was a full-time employee in the college’s building maintenance department.

He made $42,436.22 a year, according to a Freedom of Information Act request fulfilled by the college.

Jacobson was dismissed at a special MCC board meeting Tuesday.

He was charged in January with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony.

Authorities said they found about 3 grams of crack cocaine inside Jacobson’s vehicle.

He had worked with the college since March 2008, college officials said.

Jacobson is running against incumbent Hebron Village President Frank Beatty.

Guilty plea in friend’s death Woodstock resident shot 19-year-old man while showing off handgun

By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man is expected to be sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty Friday to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting death of his friend.

Maxwell T. Cannon, 23,

also had been facing lesser charges, including reckless discharge of a firearm, for the Dec. 28, 2011, incident that left 19-year-old Anthony Kloeckner dead.

Cannon was showing off a handgun to several friends at a home on Woodlawn Park Avenue near McHenry, according to McHenry County Sheriff’s police.

Maxwell T. Cannon, 23, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges.

Police have said that Cannon removed the magazine and, thinking the gun was empty, pointed it

at Kloeckner and pulled the trigger.

Kloeckner was shot once in the chest.

Kloeckner’s mother, Chris Kloeckner, said the family agreed to the two-year sentence for Cannon, which was worked out between the defense and prosecution.

Cannon is expected to be taken into custody at a sentencing

scheduled March 4 before Judge Gordon Graham.

“People are going to say, ‘He should have got more,’ or ‘He should have got less,’ ” Chris Kloeckner said. “But for us, the fact that he admitted to what he did ... that’s a hard thing for anybody.”

Crystal Lake OKs more parking for downtown area

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Those looking to park in downtown Crystal Lake will have more options for free spaces under measures approved this week by city officials.

The city will remove 30 paid parking spaces from the train depot lot closest to businesses along Woodstock Street and convert them to free four-hour parking.

“The entire project originated because of the need to increase four-hour surface parking options for downtown patrons,” a city memo read.

The spaces being lost there will be replaced by a new parking lot on Railroad Street, across the tracks and on the side of inbound trains.

There will be 63 paid parking

Harvard replaces head of Parks and Recreation

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The city has replaced Parks and Recreation Superintendent Bob Burkart after notifying the 19-year city veteran he’d be let go last month.

Harvard officials cited an inability to reach established city goals when making the decision to fire Burkart in mid-January, City Administrator Dave Nelson said. Nelson said City Council members reached a consensus on the move, although Mayor Jay Nolan has ultimate hiring and firing authority.

See PARKING, page B2

“I’ve always given 150 percent,” he said. “I was always there whenever needed.”

He said the decision took him by surprise, in part because he’d recently been given a positive evaluation.

“When you deal with politics, you have to deal with politics,” he said.

Goals identified for Burkart’s position had been in place for a couple of years, Nelson said. The goals, laid out in Harvard’s most recent budget document, are broken into three categories: communications with

spots on-street and in the new lot, and six stalls for motorcycles.

“These new commuter spots are on the side of the tracks that commuters leave in the morning,” Deputy City Manager George Koczwara said. “It’s a win-win for commuters because they’re getting a net increase of [33] spots, and the downtown businesses are getting 30 new surface spaces.”

At Tuesday’s meeting, the City Council agreed to amend

“In my experience anyway, my employer doesn’t really pull any punches,” Nelson said.

“This is what we want to get done – A, B, C, D – and you’re evaluated off the goals you set, and rightfully so.”

Mike Clingingsmith, who directed the Arlington Heights teen center before it was closed for budgetary reasons three years ago, started Tuesday as the department’s new superintendent.

Burkart, who will remain under city contract through the end of the month, voiced his opposition to the decision Friday.

CARPENTERSVILLE – District 300 Superintendent Michael Bregy said he kept student safety in mind when making the preemptive decision to cancel classes almost four hours before snow started falling in the area Thursday night.

The district announced the snow day around 6:30 p.m., as the National Weather Service predicted a overnight storm that could have blanketed the area with as much as 5 inches of snow.

The storm ultimately covered most of the McHenry

Area snowfall totals Woodstock – 5 inches Marengo – 3.5 inches Algonquin – 3 inches Huntley – 3 inches

Source: National Weather Service County area with 3 to 4 inches of snow. The Carpentersvillebased school district was the only one in the area to cancel classes.

Bregy said the district’s decision to cancel classes oftentimes is unique. The sixth-largest school district in the state is responsible for 21,000 students who span 15

differentcommunitiesinboth rural and suburban parts of McHenry and Kane counties including Algonquin and Lake in the Hills.

“Anytime I decide to close school for the day due to a forecast of inclement weather ... my decision is always made with the safety of students and staff as my absolute highest priority,” Bregy said in an email.

Because of the district’s size, school officials have to remember that students and families often commute through country roads,

Replacement to get same goals Victim’s mother: Cannon’s • REPLACEMENT Continued from page B1 administration, financial and programming.

Burkart said parks programswereself-sustaining, but he admitted to falling short of a goal to develop outside revenue sources.

Nelson maintained that there was no one unmet objective that directly led to Burkart’s firing.

“We’d set some goals for the direction that we’d like to see things go,” he said. “We’d

“We need to find a way to do things that are economically viable for both the participants – the residents – and the city here.”

Mike Clingingsmith New superintendent

evaluated off those goals, and those things just weren’t getting done.”

His replacement will be given the same goals and will be evaluated in the same manner over the next couple of years, Nelson added.

Clingingsmith, who has worked part time at Aero Industries in Harvard since his layoff, said so far he’s been working toward hiring pool staff for the summer. He said he’s excited to work in tandem with other local agencies.

“We need to find a way to do things that are economically viable for both the participants – the residents – and the city here,” Clingingsmith said.

City anticipates lot to cost $200K • PARKING Continued from page B1 a long-standing lease agreement with Union Pacific Railroad, which owns the lot.

Under the agreement, which city officials say dates to the 1950s, Union Pacific gets one-third of the income generated from the paid stalls, and the city maintains the lot.

The city bought and demolished two homes on Railroad Street, where the new

lot will be, for a total cost of $294,880 for both properties.

In all, there will be 50 paid commuter spaces in the lot and 13 on Railroad Street, plus the six motorcycle spots.

The city anticipates the parking lot construction will cost $200,000. The construction also will include more bike racks and decorative lighting.

Additionally, Railroad Street will be converted to oneway traffic between Second and Grant streets. Contrary to popular belief, that section of

roadway is open to two ways.

“Most people think it is [already a one-way street],” Koczwara said. “The one-way portion is from Grant to Main.

This portion is not.”

The parking lot required a variance, which was approved Wednesday by the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission.

The commission’s recommendation to approve the variance will be up for a City Council vote at their next meeting March 5.

D-300 only district to call snow day • CLOSING Continued from page B1 narrow neighborhood streets and major state roads, Bregy said.

Parents also have indicated a desire to know about snow days the evening before to allow for enough time to plan at-home arrangements for their children, Bregy said.

It’s not the first time District 300 was the lone district in the area to cancel classes in the face of impending snowstorms. In

2008, the district was the only one to call a snow day after a snowstorm in early February.

At the time, thenSuperintendent Ken Arndt defended the decision, saying the district covers a wide area.

But the Thursday decision to call a snow day was made almost four hours before snow started falling. Since making the call, Bregy has received a mixed response of “praise and concern” from parents, he said.

The district only received about 10 messages from

parents critical of the district’s decision to cancel classes, officials said.

Looking to the future, Bregy said he will keep in mind the benefits and hazards of waiting until the early morning of a storm to call a snow day.

“Unless you are the person making this decision that impacts 21,000 students from 3 years old to their late teens, living in both busy suburban and remote areas, it is difficult for anyone to understand how all-consuming the decision can be,” Bregy said.

Cannon was the fun kid with whom everyone wanted to hang out, Chris Kloeckner said. He and her son could be in a room without talking but still have a good time.

But they also thought they were invincible, she said, and that ultimately cost a life.

“I think it’s because they were so used to their fun, crazy times that they didn’t think twice about bringing a gun to a friend’s garage,” Chris Kloeckner said. “It wasn’t murder. It was a reckless act.”

“Your family is like a puzzle and one piece will be missing. But you’re going to get more pieces. We’ve got a grandchild coming.

The puzzle will go back together, but it will never be the same.”

Chris Kloeckner Anthony Kloeckner’s mother family had Cannon come to the funeral home before the services. Then, they thought that the shooting had been a true accident – that Cannon had been putting the gun

away when it went off or a similar situation.

Then they read the police reports and learned that Cannon pointed the gun at her son, Chris Kloeckner said.

“So our feelings totally changed after that,” she said.

“After [Cannon’s] two years’ time, he’ll be only 25, and hopefully he’ll improve his life.”

The Kloeckner family is forever changed and Anthony is never coming back.

“Your family is like a puzzle and one piece will be missing,” Chris Kloeckner said. “But you’re going to get more pieces. We’ve got a grandchild coming. The puzzle will go back together, but it will never be the same.”

Tomorrow is my Super Bowl and I cannot wait! Like many fans of movies and fashion, I consider the Academy Awards the championship game. We have been through the Golden Globes, SAGs and BAFTAs to name just a few of the many awards that Hollywood bestows upon itself. I like to equate these awards to rounds in playoffs; this helps the sports-centric men in my house understand their importance. Just like the Super Bowl, the Oscars have pre- and post-game festivities, and of course, gambling; unlike the Super Bowl, but oddly similar to the NBA All-Star Weekend, fashion plays a big role.

Remember when the Academy Awards were on Monday nights? As a kid, my mother would make me take a nap so I could stay up late to watch them since it was a school night. Of course, was any other school-age girl such a big fan of Warren Beatty that she “needed” to see the 1982 awards since he was nominated four times?* The switch to Sunday was a great move by the Academy; this change is really what brought the pre-game element. The show may start at 7:30 p.m. but we all know the real coverage starts much earlier in the afternoon with the red carpet arrivals. Let the gowns begin! I will be hunkered down on the couch with the four-legged beast, E! on the television and following my favorite fashion bloggers on Twitter. The Golfer in My Life will be out of town so I will be watching solo.

Daughter might tune in with me for awhile but she rarely stays in one place too long, let alone the

three plus hours the show will be. I am hoping Son will make a food run at some point. It’s a long show and I am going to need a McDonald’s Coke.

My sports fans always tease me because I cannot stand post-game anything. Even after a team I root for wins, I just don’t like to watch the analysis afterward. My one exception is the talk about the Oscar fashions. On Monday, I won’t be able to get enough of the blogs, the fourth hour of “Today” and Joan Rivers, all with their opinions of the good, the bad and the “wow, what was she thinking” ugly.

Every year the Work Brother and I have a friendly wager on the awards with the winner buying lunch. The Golfer and I have seen five of the films nominated for Best Picture so I have some base of knowledge to make my guesses. He and I used to just pick the top 6 categories with a more technical one as a tiebreaker. A few years ago we switched to doing a complete ballot, even though almost half of the categories are completely random guesses. This adds a whole new dimension to watching the show; now the winners of Film Editing, Sound Mixing and Production Design mean something to me!

For my predicitons, I am going with “Argo,” Daniel Day-Lewis, Anne Hathaway and a few upsets.

You gotta play to win with lunch on the line.

Have a good weekend! Autumn * Beatty won Best Director and I was thrilled. Still love “Reds” to this day.

On screen now “Beautiful Creatures” HHH STARRING: Alice Englert, Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Alden Ehrenreich PLOT: Ethan longs to escape his small Southern town. He meets a mysterious new girl, Lena. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.

RATING: PG-13 for violence, scary images and some sexual material TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes VERDICT: The genders have been reversed but the supernatural, star-crossed teen angst remains firmly intact in this drama that clearly aims to pick up where the “Twilight” franchise left off. Writerdirector Richard LaGravenese’s film, based on the first novel in the young adult series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, oozes Southern Gothic eccentricity and some amusing if inconsistent touches of camp. But a strong cast of likable and, yes, beautiful actors can only do so much with the formula in which they’re forced to work. And, like the “Twilight” movies, the special effects are all too often distractingly cheesy. The setup breathes some new life into such familiar material, though, as co-stars Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert feel like actual awkward teens enjoying the fraught thrills of first love. Once the plot machinations start grinding in the second half, though, “Beautiful Creatures” as a whole grinds to a halt. Spells and scenery-chewing can be a hoot; watching other people sitting around scouring ancient tomes for clues, not so much. Ehrenreich plays a restless teen in small-town South Carolina who’s smitten by Englert’s mysterious new girl. Turns out she’s a witch – and she’s probably doomed – but could true love with a mortal save her? – Christy Lemire,

You see, Willis’ unstoppable New York cop has traveled to Moscow to track down his bitter, estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney), whom he believes to be in criminal trouble. Jack is actually a spy working undercover to protect a government whistleblower (Sebastian Koch), and dad has arrived just in time to ruin his mission. Now they must work together – and bond. –

“Safe Haven” HH

STARRING: Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel, Cobie Smulders PLOT: A young woman with a mysterious past lands in Southport, N.C., where her bond with a widower forces her to confront the dark secret that haunts her.

RATING: PG-13 for thematic material involving threatening behavior, and for violence and sexuality TIME: 1 hour, 55 minutes VERDICT: It’s easy to understand why Hollywood loves doing business with author Nicholas Sparks. His books are huge best-sellers, and several of the films adapted from his novels – “Message in a Bottle,” “The Notebook,” and “Dear John” – have achieved impressive box office grosses. The latest Sparks adaptation, “Safe Haven,” will probably continue his winning streak, especially with its Valentine’s Day opening pegged to lure female fans. A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won’t respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics. The first problem with the film is that the burgeoning romance is too flat to generate intense audience empathy.

Alex’s daughter, who barely remembers her mother, warms to Katie immediately, but her older brother has a harder time with his father’s new relationship. Still, this complication isn’t especially well developed in the screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky. A related problem is the casting. The best Sparks movie, “The Notebook,” had the strongest cast, with talented newcomers Ryan Gos-

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces.

RATING: R for violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 37 minutes VERDICT: It’s supposed to be a parody of itself, right? That’s the only way to explain this ridiculously over-the-top, repetitively numbing fifth film in the “Die Hard” franchise. John McClane used to be a cowboy. Now, he’s a cartoon character – specifically, Wile E. Coyote, given how many times he should be seriously injured and/ or killed in this movie. The most he suffers is a scratch here and there, and then he’s ready to pop back up again with a bemused twinkle in his eye and a wry quip. Part of the charm of this career-defining Bruce Willis’ character was the regularguy, Reagan-era resourcefulness he represented; now, he’s weirdly superhuman. But as charismatic as Willis ordinarily is, even he can’t fool us into thinking he’s enjoying himself this time. “A Good Day to Die Hard” is pointless and joyless, a barrage of noise and chaos, an onslaught of destruction without the slightest mention of consequence. Director John Moore mistakes shaky-cam and dizzying zooms for artistic finesse in

ling and Rachel McAdams balancing seasoned veterans James Garner and Gena Rowlands. To put it as charitably as possible, the actors in “Safe Haven” are not in the same league.

Hough, better known as a singer and dancer than a dramatic actress, is likably spunky, but Duhamel fades into the background, and there are no lively supporting players in the ensemble.– Stephen Farber, The Hol-

“Side Effects” HHH

Saturday, Feb. 23

STARRING: Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law PLOT: Emily and Martin are a successful New York couple whose world unravels when a new drug prescribed

by Emily’s psychiatrist – intended to treat anxiety – has unexpected side effects.

RATING: R for sexuality, nudity, violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: If “Side Effects” is indeed Steven Soderbergh’s final film, as he’s said it will be after toying with the notion of retirement for a couple of years now, then intriguingly it feels like he’s coming full circle in some ways to the film that put him on the map: the trailblazing, 1989 indie “sex, lies and videotape.” Both are lurid genre exercises, laid bare.

Both focus on the intertwined lives of four central figures, including a scene in which one of the men interviews one of the women on video, hoping to unearth a hidden truth. Both movies are about danger, secrets and manipulation, filled with characters who aren’t what they initially seem, all of which Soderbergh depicts with his typically cool detachment. The complexity of emotion, confusion and loss at the film’s start gives way to some acrobatic trickery by the end, but “Side Effects” is never less than gripping or entertaining. Mara, who showed such fierce intelligence in David Fincher’s “The Social Network” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” is quietly chilling here. With her waiflike frame, chiseled facial features and steely eyes that reveal nothing, she’s like a mysterious child’s doll come to life. – Christy Lemire, The

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Parents’ anger distances kids Red yeast rice unregulated Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old student who reads your column every day, and I hope you can help me.

I want to be closer to my parents. They yell at my siblings and me call us names.

It hurts me very much. If we make a mistake – even a little one – or forget our chores, we can expect to be insulted, yelled at, etc. I have learned to tune them out, but I don’t understand how such intelligent people like my parents can act this way. Years ago, I decided to talk to them about it, but that was seen as an act of defiance. My parents, especially my father, can’t take constructive criticism and respond with more yelling.

Please, Abby, I don’t know what to do. I would greatly appreciate your advice, although I know you are very busy. – Hopeful in New York Dear Hopeful: You have my sympathy. Harsh words can leave wounds that last longer than physical bruises. Some parents develop hair-trigger tempers when they are under financial pressure. Others, without realizing it, model their behavior on the way their

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips parents raised THEM and overreact when their children make mistakes. Because you haven’t been able to get through to your father, talk to a trusted adult relative about the fact that you would like to be closer to your parents but don’t know how. If they hear it from another adult, they might be more open to the message.

Dear Abby: I am a 26-yearold mother of a 13-month-old daughter, “Lissa.” I am a “by-the-book” mom. I’m still breastfeeding and I am strict about what I allow my daughter to eat. She has just barely started to eat table food.

I don’t want my child to have bad eating habits, so I try to give her only healthy items at dinnertime. Her dad, on the other hand, thinks it’s funny to give her junk, including sugar.

When she was only 2 months old, I caught him giving her licorice. The other day, it was soda and ice cream. I don’t agree with this, and it’s caus-

ing us a lot of fights.

Am I wrong in trying so hard? Or should I just give up and let her eat junk? – Trying My Best in California Dear Trying: Parenting is supposed to be a team sport and I’m more concerned about the fact that Lissa’s dad is undercutting you than what’s going into her mouth right now. If he continues, in another year or two, your little girl will regard him as a pushover and you as a big meanie.

You may need an impartial mediator to get through to Lissa’s father, and the perfect person to do that is your child’s pediatrician. Let the doctor tell Daddy that the more she is given sweets, the more she’ll crave them. The only thing about your approach that might be of concern to me is your calling yourself a “by-thebook” mother. A conscientious parent not only goes by the book and is consistent, but she also uses her head and listens to her heart. I hope you will remember that.

Dear Dr. K: My last two blood tests showed my cholesterol is too high. My doctor wants me to take a statin drug, but I’d rather use a natural remedy.

I saw an ad for red yeast rice that says it’s as effective as statins. What do you think?

Dear reader: “All-natural” products have an obvious appeal. “Natural” chemicals have been on earth for as long as we have -- in fact, much longer. It seems logical that since we have coexisted forever that we should tolerate natural chemicals better than those humans have created in just the past century or so.

Most pharmaceuticals fall into that category.

It surely is true that most of the “unnatural” drugs created by humans can have side effects along with their benefits. But it also is true that many “natural” chemicals in our environment – such as arsenic – can be toxic.

Red yeast rice is an example of a natural treatment that can have benefits ... and risks.

It is formed by a chemical reaction between rice and a particular type of yeast. The reaction produces a family of

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff chemicals called monacolins, which lower cholesterol by inhibiting the liver enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. That’s exactly what the cholesterol medicines, statins, do.

Red yeast rice does, indeed, lower blood cholesterol levels. But it also could produce the same side effects as the statin drugs, including muscle damage and liver inflammation.

Given that you need a statin to reduce your cholesterol and cardiac risk, should you get it from red yeast rice or a prescription medication? In my view, the answer is clear: Use a prescription statin.

Because red yeast rice is sold as a dietary supplement, the FDA does not regulate how it is manufactured. No one besides the manufacturer is assuring that it is free of dangerous impurities that could lead to serious health problems. In addition, the monacolin content can vary from

brand to brand and batch to batch of red yeast rice. So, unlike a statin pill, you may be underdosing or overdosing – and you won’t know which.

Either could adversely affect your health.

Maybe more important, there are few scientific studies of the possible benefits and side effects of red yeast rice.

Statins have been carefully studied in hundreds of thousands of people over many years. We have solid scientific evidence of their benefit, and a solid idea of how often they produce side effects. We just don’t have any such evidence with red yeast rice.

I’m not against natural remedies; I’m against any type of treatment -– natural or unnatural -– that has not been scientifically validated. In the case of cholesterol, there are several natural remedies that have been solidly validated: diet, exercise and weight control.

Jermaine Jackson changes name

Cirque gives clues to Jacko show LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas is combining its love of mega pop-stars and over-the-top theatrics for a new Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show opening this summer.

Cirque du Soleil CEO Daniel Lamarre announced the company’s newest show will be called “Michael Jackson ONE.” The show at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Strip will start preview performances May 23. It will officially premiere June 29.

The show is the second collaboration between the acrobatic company and Jackson’s estate. The first production was the traveling show, “Michael Jackson: Immortal World Tour.”

The title is intended to evoke a central paradox of the king of pop’s multifaceted persona and changing musical styles.

More celeb news at PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz Springs, Ark., days after leaving a court-ordered substance abuse treatment program. The 37-year-old mother of two died from a single gunshot to the head about a month after her longtime boyfriend David Wilson was believed to have killed himself in the same location.

Jermaine Jackson has a new, brighter surname – Jacksun.

A Los Angeles judge approved the change to singer’s name Friday.

The 58-year-old, who shared lead singing duties with his younger brother Michael in the Jackson 5, did not appear in court.

He sought the name change for “artistic reasons” and says it has nothing to do with a recent rift in his family over the care of Michael Jackson’s children and family matriarch Katherine Jackson.

His attorney Bret D. Lewis says Jacksun is in Europe performing with his brothers and told him that he was sure it was “a sunny day in California.”

Lewis says he doesn’t know whether Jacksun will elaborate on the creative reasons for the change.

Court records show Diane Lane signed her filing to divorce Josh Brolin on Valentine’s Day. Lane’s petition to end the actors’ marriage after eight and a half years was filed Feb. 15.

Her filing, released Friday, lists irreconcilable differences for the couple’s breakup and lists Feb. 13 as their separation date. It does not indicate they have a prenuptial agreement.

The actors have no children together. It was a second marriage for both when they tied the knot in August 2004.

McCready’s funeral set for Tuesday

TV station snubs ‘Dunder Mifflin’ ad

Mindy McCready’s funeral has been scheduled for Tuesday in her hometown of Fort Myers, Fla. The funeral for the late country star will be held at Crossroads Church.

McCready committed suicide Sunday at her home in Heber

A northeastern Pennsylvania TV station is refusing to run a commercial for the real-life Dunder Mifflin paper brand.

Quill.com produces a line of paper products inspired by the fictional company at the center of “The Office,” the longrunning NBC comedy set in Scranton.

Quill had planned to run an ad on WNEP-TV, the ABC affiliate, during this Sunday’s Oscars telecast. But WNEP declined to air the spot.

BOyS SWIMMING STATe MeeT

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Michael Hamann of the Cary-Grove co-op celebrates after swimming the 200-yard individual medley during the state meet preliminaries Friday at New Trier in Winnetka. Hamann had the third-fastest time (1:51.53) to qualify for today’s championship finals.

Hamann will swim for title Cary-Grove co-op senior 3rd fastest in 200-yard individual medley prelims

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com WINNETKA – Those in attendance at Friday’s state swimming preliminary round were in for a spectacle.

Four state records were bettered during the course of the afternoon, two of which were held by Olympian Matt Grevers in the 100-yard backstroke and the 50 freestyle.

“I think that after this group leaves, there will be a little drop-off,” CaryGrove co-op coach Rick Schaefer said of the quality of swimmers in recent memory. “I think over the last four

“It was a great time, and I know I have room to improve, which is more exciting.”

years we have seen some of the most talented kids to ever come through Illinois. For some of these kids, to think they are ahead of where [Grevers] was at this time is pretty cool. I can always say, ‘I remember when I was there.’ ”

When Schaefer was talking about the quality of swimmers, he was sure not to leave off one of his own, Michael Hamann.

Hamann competed in the maximum of four events Friday – two relays and two individual events. He was disappointed with his 100 butterfly, as he didn’t advance to today’s finals because he didn’t crack the top 12, but he was particularly pleased with the 200 individual medley.

Hamann took third after swimming a personal-best 1:51.53. With that time he earned a spot in the championship finals with a shot at the state title. He

This hockey history stuff too rich for me CHICAGO – Really, Blackhawks? Another one?

I mean, really?

It wasn’t enough for you to share the greatest start in NHL history with the 2006-07 Anaheim Ducks. No, no, no.

Heaven forbid that you teach kids about sharing.

Instead, you just had to seize the record all for yourself.

You had to beat the San Jose Sharks, 2-1, to set the all-time record with 17 games (and counting) without a loss in regulation. You had to happily skate to center ice after the game and salute a sellout crowd of 21,760 fans by lifting your sticks toward the rafters.

This is just ridiculous. I mean, this really has gotten out of hand.

Is starting the season 14-

was only 0.31 seconds off the top qualifier in the event.

“I was just excited,” Hamann said.

“Right away in my fly I was gliding, so I knew during the race I had places to improve, and when I saw [my time] I was really excited. It was a great time, and I know I have room to improve, which is more exciting.”

The senior said he miscalculated the amount of time between the IM and the butterfly, which caused him to be a little more tired than he would have liked. But the appearance in the finals

HUNTLEY – Of its 24 victories this season, Crystal Lake Central likely will stick this one at the top of the list.

Playing on the road, in the final game of the regular season, against three-time Fox Valley Conference Valley Division champion Huntley, the Tigers turned in a complete and dominant performance.

In a much-anticipated matchup of the FVC division champions, Central struck a blow for the Fox with a 54-37 victory Friday at Huntley’s gym.

The Tigers (24-3) shot 63.8 percent (23 of 36) through the three quarters that mattered, while Huntley (17-8) managed only 25 percent (9 of 36).

The defense set the tone, making it tough on the Red Raiders, while point guard Brad Knoeppel ran the offense adeptly, squeezing through the tiniest gaps for layups and scoring a game-high 17 points.

Marian grad Ott runs to nationals for St. Xavier As a prep athlete at Marian Central, Jackie Ott specialized in sprint events.

As a college athlete, she has found longer distances to her liking.

Ott, a senior from Island Lake, has qualified for the 1,000-meter run and as a member of the distance medley relay team for NAIA Saint Xavier University in Chicago, Jackie Ott which will compete beginning Thursday at the national indoor track and field championships in Geneva, Ohio.

“She was a sprinter in high school,” SXU coach Lisa Ebel said.

“It’s been super fun for me. Every year, she’s learned more and more.

She’s starting to learn just how much talent she has.”

Ott’s talent helped her set the 1,000 school record last month with a time of 3:01.75. Running the 800 leg for the DMR team, Ott helped the quartet to a school-record time of 12:35.06 last month at the same meet, the Univer-

sity of Findlay (Ohio) Classic.

“I love the 800 and the 1,000,” Ott said. “I feel like it’s perfect for me.”

This week’s meet will be Ott’s fourth time at nationals, including her third indoor meet.

In 2011, she helped the 4x800 outdoor team earn All-America honors with a sixth-place finish. During last year’s indoor meet, she finished 13th in the1,000.

This year, Ott will be one of three SXU individuals to compete at nationals.

“Last year was the first time that I had run [the 1,000] by myself,” Ott said. “It was a good experience. It’s going to be fun having us all together.”

Huntley’s Bryce Only (left) and Crystal Lake Central’s Brad Knoeppel jump for a rebound during the first quarter of Friday’s game in Huntley. Central won, 54-37.

CLC shoots to 31-16 halftime lead • TIGERS Continued from page C1 “My teammates told me to keep picking it up,” Knoeppel said. “I tried to get the ball and kick it out when I drive. Other guys were knocking down shots. That was our best defensive game of the year. It was our most complete game of the year.”

Central hit 15 of 24 firsthalf field goals for a 31-16 lead, then hit 8 of 12 in the third quarter.

“They flat-out kicked our butts tonight,” Huntley forward Bryce Only said.

“There’s no doubt about it.

Give credit where credit is due. They did a great job.

They scouted us very well and scouted our plays, they knew what was coming. You have to match their intensity with defensive pressure and we didn’t do that.”

When Knoeppel was not driving inside, Tigers guard Corban Murphy and big men Kyle Fleck and David Panicko were hitting outside shots. Murphy scored 11 points, while Fleck added 11 points with 11 rebounds and three blocked shots.

“We knew they were a good team and we played a complete game,” Fleck said.

“We came out with a lot of

energy, that was good. It was a fun environment to play in.”

Amanze Egekeze led Huntley with 12 points, while Only added nine.

“They were really good defensively; they were really good offensively,” Manning said. “They’re a really good team. They came out and played really hard, defended us well and knocked down shots. Knoeppel took it in the lane and scored, basically at will on us.

“When you have your point guard shooting layups and your center shooting 3s, you’re a good basketball team.”

Jacobs co-op’s DeDina drops time • SWIMMING Continued from page C1 overshadows any ill thoughts, and the four-time state qualifier can now add to his long list of accomplishments.

“I’m a big believer in that everything happens for a reason,” Hamann said. “I will have just one event to focus on tomorrow. All I have left is 200 yards in my high school career, and I am going to make it one hell of a 200 yards.”

Schaefer was excited for his top swimmer and for a chance to come back and coach for another day.

“For three years, he hasn’t made it to a (championship) final, so this is a huge accomplishment for him,” Schaefer said. “He finally gets that off his back, and it is very encouraging to see how close he is to the top. His mental attitude is going to be completely focused on that, so maybe it’s a good thing he just has one on his plate.”

“This is his last swim, and if he goes out and swims the best he ever has, he will be a state champion.”

For the other area swimmers the day didn’t go as well as hoped.

Josh DeDina of Jacobs co-op swims the 100-yard breaststroke during the state meet preliminaries Friday at New Trier. He was 40th in 1:00.38. mate Henry Ganter in the 50 freestyle. Huntley’s Matthew Haage added about one second in his 50 freestyle as well.

Josh DeDina was the only swimmer to drop time from the previous week’s sectional meet.

He dropped about a second from his 200 IM time. Teammate Alex Reinbrecht added seven seconds to his sectional time in the 500 freestyle and swam slower in the 200 freestyle.

“Disappointing,” Golden Eagles coach Rick Andresen said of his swimmers’ performances. “Josh had a better IM, but everything else was a letdown. I thought Alex would have swam much better than he did, but we just haven’t figured out his rest period. Luck-

ily, he is a junior and we have another shot at this, and we’ll have to do something different for next season.”

The state meet is notorious for producing slower times than in sectionals because of the tricky rest and tapering period as most swimmers are fully rested in order to get to state.

Their bodies are then not fully conditioned, and the result is slower times.

“A lot of times the novelty is just getting to the meet,” Schaefer said. “I’ve seen it happen to a lot of kids and I’m glad our 400 freestyle relay improved by a second. It’s tough [to perform worse] when you prepare so hard to get to this meet.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Taj Gibson said the Bulls need to get back to last season’s philosophy of putting tough losses behind them and not dropping back-to-back games.

They did just that Friday night.

Gibson scored 17 points on 8-of11 shooting to lead a balanced scoring attack as the Bulls beat Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Bobcats, 105-75.

The win came after a 19-point loss Thursday at home to the Miami Heat.

“We liked the way we were able to bounce back after a bad loss,” Gibson said. “Last year we wouldn’t allow ourselves to lose two straight games. We need that same mind-

Bulls at Oklahoma City, 8:30 p.m. Sunday, WGN, ESPN, AM-1000 set.”

Now the tough part will be stringing two wins together.

The Bulls travel to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder on Sunday night in a game that figures to be a good measuring stick for them.

The Bulls have lost five of their past eight.

This one was over early.

With Jordan looking on from the

end of the Charlotte bench, the Bulls jumped out to a 38-19 lead midway through the second quarter and never looked back.

Jordan, the Bobcats’ owner and former Bulls star, left his seat with about 3 minutes left in the first half and didn’t return.

The Bulls had failed to score 100 points in their previous six games and were held to 67 by Miami on Thursday, but found their groove against the NBA-worst Bobcats.

Carlos Boozer had 10 points and 10 rebounds as eight Bulls finished in double figures. Luol Deng added 14 points, Nate Robinson, Marco Belinelli and Richard Hamilton had 12, and Joakim Noah finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

Rockets continue mastery over Nets

Westbrook scored 37 points, Kevin Durant added 27 and Oklahoma City snapped a threegame losing streak by beating Minnesota.

The Thunder avoided losing four in a row for the first time since April 2009, near the end of their first season in Oklahoma City, but made little progress in getting their defense back in order.

Pacers 114, Pistons 82: At Indianapolis, David West scored 18 points, George Hill had 15 and surging Indiana beat Detroit.

Wizards 119, Nuggets 113: At Washington, Emeka Okafor had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Washington put on one of its best offensive shows of the season against Denver.

Hawks 122, Kings 108: At Atlanta, Al Horford led Atlanta’s balanced scoring with 24 points and the Hawks overcame a slow start to beat Sacramento.

Grizzlies 88, Magic 82: At Memphis, Tenn., Marc Gasol had 19 points and 13 rebounds, Zach Randolph added 16 points and 14 boards, and Memphis beat short-handed Orlando for its sixth straight victory.

Mavericks 104, Hornets 100: At New Orleans, Vince Carter capped a 22-point performance with a 3-pointer that gave Dallas the lead with 6.5 seconds left, and the Mavericks held on to beat New Orleans for their third straight victory.

NBA ROUNDUP

NEW YORK – James Harden and Carlos Delfino each scored 22 points Friday night, and the Houston Rockets tied their longest winning streak against any opponent by beating the Brooklyn Nets for the 13th straight time, 106-96.

Houston blew most of a 15point lead in the fourth quarter before Delfino hit a big 3-pointer with 1:54 left. He later made another jumper before Harden followed with a 3 to put it away.

Delfino made six 3-pointers.

Harden, coming off a careerhigh 46-point game Wednesday against Oklahoma City, made four 3s and finished 7 of 14 from the field.

Brook Lopez scored 27 points for the Nets, who played without starting guard Joe Johnson for the first time this season because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Raptors 100, Knicks 98: At Toronto, Rudy Gay scored a season-high 32 points, DeMar DeRozan had 18 and Toronto handed New York its seasonworst fourth straight loss.

Kyle Lowry scored 15 points, Amir Johnson 12 and John Lucas 10 as the Raptors won for the sixth time in seven games.

Carmelo Anthony had 32 points and J.R. Smith added 19 for the Knicks, winless since beating Minnesota on Feb. 8.

Celtics 113, Suns 88: At Phoenix, Jeff Green scored 31 points in his first start of the season, and short-handed Boston routed Phoenix.

The Celtics moved two games ahead of Milwaukee for seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Streaking into history Saad’s short-hander helps Hawks break NHL-record The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Blackhawks set an NHL record for the best start to a season Friday night, beating the San Jose Sharks, 2-1, to give them at least one point in their first 17 games.

Hawks rookie Brandon Saad scored a short-handed goal early in the third period to snap a 1-all tie. The Hawks (14-0-3) won their fourth straightgametobreakamark set by the 2006-07 Anaheim Ducks, who earned points in their first 16 games.

The Hawks equaled that run Tuesday with a shootout win over Vancouver.

Viktor Stalberg also scored for the league-leading Hawks, who have captured a total of 31 of 34 possible points.

Hawks goalie Ray Emery made 26 saves to win his fourth straight start and improve to 7-0. The Hawks

killed all four San Jose power plays, all of which occurred in a span of less than 14 minutes late in the second and early in the third periods.

Patrick Marleau scored for the Sharks, getting only his second goal in 11 games after getting nine in San Jose’s first five games.

Emery and Niemi were sharp throughout most of the game. But a misplay by Niemi led to Stalberg’s goal at 16:40 of the second period, and he seemed fooled on Saad’s score. Niemi stopped 32 shots.

Niemi, who was the goalie when the Hawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010, also let in a couple of soft goals in a 4-1 loss to the Hawks a week earlier at the United Center.

The Hawks had a full lineup for the first time since their season opener at Los Angeles.

Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, forward Daniel Carcillo and goalie Corey Crawford returned from injuries. Seabrook missed Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury and Carcillo sat out 15 games since suffering a knee injury in the season opener.

Crawford, who sat out three games with a upperbody injury, backed up Emery.

Hawks forward Marian Hossa was back after being hit in the back of the head by Vancouver forward Jannik Hansen on Tuesday and leaving early in the third period.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Shortstop Castro reaches for Gold Glove The ASSOCIATED PRESS MESA, Ariz.– The Cubs are convinced Starlin Castro can hit. They showed that much when they signed their All-Star shortstop to a sevenyear, $60 million contract last summer.

The big question for the 23-yearold Castro to answer as he enters his fourth season in the major leagues is whether he can cut down on his errors and headline-making mental lapses in the field.

“I like the way he’s been going about his business defensively,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “It’s one thing I challenged him to do: ‘Your next step now in all this is to win a

Gold Glove.’ Obviously, that takes a lot of focus and hard work and being focused for 150 pitches a game and 162 games. He’s got the ability to do it.

The rest is up to him.”

Castro, who has led the National League in errors each of the past two seasons, said that is his major goal this season – to match the defensive achievement of teammate Darwin Barney, who won a Gold Glove at second base last year.

Castro said he focused “much time” over the winter on his fielding.

“When I went (home to) the Dominican (Republic), I worked hard every day on my defense, because I want to be better. I want to be like Barney and win a Gold Glove. And it’s going to be

fun to win Gold Gloves at shortstop, second base and first base – because (Anthony) Rizzo is very good, too,” he said.

That’s not only Castro’s view. That’s a vision the defensiveminded coaching staff has in mind for the infield.

After Rizzo showed Starlin exceptional skills Castro around the bag at first in his half-season debut for the Cubs last season, it might be up to Castro to make that threesome as formidable as he thinks it can be.

“I know I can be like those guys,”

Castro said.

In June in San Francisco, Castro forgot the number of outs on a possible double-play ball with the bases loaded and began jogging off the field after getting only the first out on the play.

“That was obviously a noticeable one,” Sveum said, even as he defended Castro for general improvement in that area throughout last season.

Indeed, there were no repeats last season of the 2011 incident at Wrigley Field, when Castro was caught on camera daydreaming, with his back to the plate, spitting seeds, as the pitcher delivered the ball.

“I will eliminate those, eliminate everything,” Castro said. “This year

it’s gonna be where those things don’t happen that happened those couple of years ago. Each game, I’ll concentrate, and [stick to] my game plan. It’s going to be perfect.”

The Cubs don’t need perfection.

They say they’ll settle for the improvement they saw last season.

“I wasn’t here before [2012]. All I know is what other people have told me,” Sveum said, “that he improved tremendously throughout the season. And I saw it. So hopefully, he just keeps improving. That’s all we’re asking out of a guy like him, that he just keeps growing. But the rest of it now is pretty much up to him, with the experience he already has in the big leagues.”

DAYTONA 500

Junior confident despite struggles

Danica Patrick signs autographs for fans Friday after her qualifying run for today’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Daytona Beach, Fla.

8VIEWS

Female racers still have miles to go

By JANET GUTHRIE Special to the Washington Post There’s an old saying in motor sports: “Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?”

That helps explain why Danica Patrick is where she is today – and why it took so long for a female racer to break a NASCAR record I set more than three decades ago.

Patrick will start from the pole position in Sunday’s Daytona 500 – the showpiece of NASCAR’s top-level Sprint Cup series – after setting the fastest qualifying time the previous week (with a top speed of 196.434 mph, for those keeping track). A woman in that spot is a historic first for NASCAR and an achievement that transcends motor sports.

But while we celebrate, it’s also reasonable to ask: Why has it taken so long to update the record books? For 36 years, until last Sunday, I had been the best female qualifier in a Cup race, with ninth-place starts at Talladega and Bristol in my rookie season. And as of this writing, my sixth-place finish at Bristol, also in 1977, remains the best Cup finish by a woman. That wasn’t what I was after, of course. I wanted to win Cup races, and I believe that I would have done so if I’d been able to find the money to continue.

Since then, many capable female drivers have come and gone – it’s not that there’s been a lack of talent. And it’s not just that the racing world is conservative or sexist, although those elements are there. The explanation lies in the extremely expensive nature of the sport. Patrick is the first woman who has been able to summon the mega-dollars necessary to field a frontrunning car, and Sunday she made the most of it.

I’m often asked about the prejudice female drivers face, and it’s true that it was highly visible when I got my shot at the top. In 1976, when team owner Rolla Vollstedt announced our intention to try for the Indianapolis 500, the blowback was astonishing. Established drivers complained loudly, publicly and at length. “Indy racing is too demanding physically for women,” said Billy Vukovich, who had finished second at Indianapolis three years earlier. “After 40 laps, Guthrie won’t be able to steer a car.” (Vukovich had never even seen me drive.)

When I raced at Charlotte that year, the grandstands reverberated with calls of “Get the tits out of the pits.”

On the track, I had to prove myself to the fans and other drivers. Off the

AP file photo

Janet Guthrie prepares to head out on the Daytona Speedway track July 2, 1976, to practice for the Firecracker 400. track, I had to prove myself to my team. In motor sports, team chemistry is important, and this is one area where women may have a higher hurdle to overcome than men do. In my case, it helped that I had a background in engineering and had spent more than a decade building Jaguar engines and doing all my own mechanical work. I could often detect an engine or transmission malfunction before we were in trouble.

The guys assigned to my car at Indianapolis soon picked up on that.

In a pinch I could, and did, help them change an engine. That made a difference. In 1978, when I formed and managed my own team for the Indianapolis 500, I was deeply touched that my NASCAR crew from the second half of 1977 wanted to join me.

Of course, the country’s attitudes toward women have changed since then. And NASCAR’s attitudes have changed, too. The chauvinism hasn’t gone away; you can see it in Internet comments about Patrick – a favorite epithet is “Danicant.” But my sense is that it isn’t as bad as it was.

At the same time, it may have gotten harder to navigate the world of money and sponsorships.

Top-level racing is a sport of enormous complexity. Teams with any hope of winning have vast shops that include, for example, computerized dynamometers on which an engine can be run through an entire simulated race for any track in the series.

And that’s just the beginning. Field-

ing a competitive NASCAR team for a single year requires tens of millions of dollars.

Attracting sponsors to cover those costs is difficult. And it’s been especially hard for women.

The toughest choice for any driver is whether to accept a ride in an inferior car in the hope that she can make it go faster than it has any right to go – and that someone will take notice and offer her a better ride next time. Or should she turn down such a ride and take the chance that she may never get access to good equipment?

I watched Swiss IndyCar racer Simona De Silvestro struggle all last year with a hopelessly uncompetitive Lotus. She kept on smiling, was gracious, had her feet on the ground – and this year she has a more competitive car. De Silvestro is an excellent driver, and I have high hopes for her.

However, she is still not with one of the dominant teams.

Patrick has been luckier. Her parents spent six figures a year on her go-kart racing at the beginning of her career, according to news reports.

Subsequently, she was taken under the wing of Texas oil magnate John Mecom for a foray to England, and then by Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal’s formidable Rahal-Letterman team. Her willingness to pose for racy photos in the girlie magazine FHM apparently didn’t hurt, either.

But even Patrick’s position isn’t assured. As recently as October, when she wasn’t having much success on the track, there were questions about whether her primary sponsor, GoDaddy, would continue to use her in its ads. USA Today reported: “Patrick’s Q Score, which tracks likability, has recently been heading south, falling from 29 in 2010 to 19 in 2012.” Interestingly, the average Q Score for all racecar drivers is only 13. And sponsors have tended to be forgiving of male drivers who have lackluster seasons.

How many years will it be before another female driver starts from the pole position at Daytona? What will it take for more than a token woman to be accepted by a winning team? To be honest, I’m not sure.

If Patrick races well this year, it may help – or not. All I know is that I long to see it happen.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It’s been years since Dale Earnhardt Jr. was a nonfactor during Speedweeks.

He finished second in the Budweiser Shootout and the Daytona 500 last year. He was the pole-sitter for the 500 in 2011, the 10-year year anniversary of his father’s death at Daytona International Speedway. He started second and finished second in 2010, weaving his way through traffic in a frantic final lap.

He typically garners headlines and the majority of the attention leading up to NASCAR’s “Great American Race,” an event forever linked to his family name because of triumph and tragedy.

This year, Earnhardt has been a mere footnote.

He qualified 19th for Sunday’s Daytona 500, his lowest starting spot in 14 years at NASCAR’s premier event. His confidence remains high, possibly because he’s glad to be rid of the clunky Car of Tomorrow and the tricky tandem racing that came with it at repaved Daytona.

“We’ve got a good car,” Earnhardt said. “Anybody can win, but we’ve got a good piece.

If we get that balance right and get the thing to turning good, we’ll have a great shot.”

Early results say otherwise.

Earnhardt wrecked several cars during a Daytona test in January. He didn’t lead a lap in the exhibition Sprint Unlimited last week and finished eighth in what boiled down to a 12-car field. He was off the leaders’ pace in his 150-mile qualifying race Thursday and came home

Dale Earnhardt Jr. watches members of the crew work on his car Wednesday during practice for Sunday’s Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla. ninth.

Those race results tend to be an indicator of who’s the one to beat in the Daytona 500.

So it’s no surprise that Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and even Sprint Cup rookie Danica Patrick have gotten more hype than Earnhardt.

Then again, anything can and often does happen in the Daytona 500.

With a completely revamped race car for 2013, the same could be said for the season.

Earnhardt made the Chase for the championship last year, but finished 12th after missing two of the final six races because of post-concussion symptoms.

But running in the top five in points most of the season, and even spending a few weeks atop the standings, provided a big boost for a ultra-popular driver trying to win his first Cup championship.

Bayne wins pole for Nationwide opener

By MARK LONG The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Trevor Bayne has his Nationwide ride exactly where it ended the past two seasons: in front of the field.

The 2011 Daytona 500 winner earned the pole for today’s Nationwide Series season opener. Bayne turned the fast lap during qualifying at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, averaging 177.162 mph around the 21⁄2-mile superspeedway.

Bayne is driving the No. 6 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, the car Ricky Stenhouse Jr. piloted to the past two championships in the secondtier series.

“This whole team, I’ve been talking them up all offseason, but that’s because they deserve it,” Bayne said. “This group of guys, they’ve won two championships in a row, and that’s for a reason.

“Ricky Stenhouse did them a ton of justice and he’s done a great job in that car, but I’m excited to be the guy driving it this year and we’ve started off with a bang here with the

By DOUG FERGUSON MARANA, Ariz. – And then there was one.

One day after Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods went home, more top seeds followed Friday in the Match Play Championship until Masters champion Bubba Watson was the only seed from the top 10 remaining at Dove Mountain.

And even that wasn’t easy.

Watson, the No. 8 seed, missed two straight putts from 5 feet that would have won the match before he finally put away Jim Furyk in 22 holes. It was the first time since this World Golf Championship began in 1999 that only one top-10 seed was left after two rounds.

What does that mean?

“Nothing,” Watson said. “This game ... it’s a toss-up. You can’t really judge who’s going to win, or bet who’s going to win.”

Luke Donald, the No. 3 seed who birdied his last two holes Thursday to win his opening match, didn’t know what hit him Friday.

Scott Piercy won the first three holes, and then holed out from 221 yards with a 4-iron on the fifth hole and was on his way. He won, 7 and 6, to give Donald his worst loss in this event.

Fourth-seeded Louis Oosthuizen never led against Robert Garrigus, who closed him out on the 16th hole and sounded as though he had penciled himself into the final.

“I looked at all the guys in my bracket and I was like, ‘I can beat

Sunnyside up Johnsburg Little Store gives back to community

By CHRIS CASHMAN ccashman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Through the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance Program, Sunnyside Little Store gives back to the community.

St. John the Baptist Catholic School, 2304 Church St., recently received a check for $500, a grant made possible by Sunnyside Little Store through the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program.

ExxonMobil’s Educational Alliance program has awarded $1.8 million in grants to help enhance school programs across the U.S. Since 1997, Sunnyside Little Store, 4304 N. Johnsburg Road, has helped support schools throughout the Johnsburg area with thousands of dollars from Educational Alliance funds.

Funded by the ExxonMobil Corp., the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program is designed to provide local retailers an opportunity to invest in the future of their communities through educational grants to neighborhood schools Schools partner with Exxon and Mobil-branded service stations to apply for Educational Alliance grants. In September, Sunnyside Little Store began working with schools in the community to fill out the applications. This year, St. John the Baptist Catholic School was chosen to advance its education programs.

St. John the Baptist Principal Maureen Jackson said the $500 will be used in the math and science programs.

“We are really grateful for the generosity of others in our community,” Jackson said.

Johnsburg-area schools that have benefited from the Educational Alliance program over the years include Johnsburg High School, Johnsburg Junior High, Johnsburg Middle School, James C. Bush Elementary School, and Ringwood School Primary Center. Funds have been used to improve athletic fields, purchase new computers, and program improvements in art, music, math and science.

Sunnyside Little Store is a privately owned Mo-

CARY – Standard & Poor’s Rating Services called the holding company that owns Sage Products LLC “highly leveraged” and assigned a junk rating to its $380 million debt issue.

Cary-based Sage Products Holdings III LLC got a B rating earlier this month. That means the company is able to meet financial commitments but faces adverse conditions.

BBB- is considered the lowest investment grade by market participants, according to the rating agency.

Chicago private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners LLC bought Sage Products in December for $350 million, Crain’s Chicago Business reported.

The below investment grade rating reflects a “highly leveraged” financial risk profile, according to a press release from the ratings agency.

“The rating also incorporates a ‘weak’ business risk profile, dominated by its relatively narrow medical products focus,” the release said.

S&P also cited Sage’s 6.5 debt-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio. That ratio is expected to remain above 5 through 2015. Generally, a ratio of less than 3 is considered normal.

In another press release late last year, S&P said it expected Sage’s revenue to grow.

“We expect the company to expand its revenues through 2013 at a mid- to high-single-digit rate that is about twice the growth we expect in overall health care spending in the U.S., which accounts for the large majority of company revenues,” said S&P credit analyst Michael Kaplan.

After being acquired by Madison Dearborn, Sage’s former President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Brown became the company’s CEO and vice chairman. Vincent Foglia remains chairman of the board.

Sage said its management team would continue to own a significant portion of the company.

Sage was founded in 1971 and employs more than 700 people in McHenry County.

“We live by our motto, ‘if we don’t have it, you don’t need it,’” Monika said. “We specialize in customerfriendly service and special requests for products for our loyal customers.”

Monika grew up in the area and graduated from Johnsburg High School. “A lot of the teachers who were there when I went to school were teachers for my kids,” she said.

Strong earnings from big U.S. companies pushed the Dow Jones industrial average to a rare triple-digit gain Friday, but the S&P 500 index still posted its first weekly loss of the year.

Hewlett-Packard had the biggest gain in the Dow and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. It posted fiscal firstquarter earnings late Thursday that beat all forecasts, a relief after months of bad news for the computer maker. H-P rose $2.10, or 12.3 percent, to $19.20.

The Dow closed up 119.95 points, or 0.9 percent, at 14,000.57 – its third-biggest gain this year. The S&P 500 rose 13.18 points, also 0.9 percent, to 1,515.60. The Nasdaq composite index rose 30.33, or 1 percent, to 3,161.82.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed slightly lower for the week, while the Dow edged higher.

Spooked investors sent stocks plunging Wednesday after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting revealed disagreement over how long to keep buying bonds in an effort to boost the economy.

8IN BRIEF Caterpillar considers closing central Pa. plant YORK, Pa. – Heavy machinery manufacturer Caterpillar Inc. is considering closing its distribution facility in central Pennsylvania.

The York Distribution Center in Springettsbury Township employs 250 people.

Caterpillar spokesman Jim Dugan says the workers were notified in September about the possibility the facility could move elsewhere in the eastern U.S. The company says it will decide by March whether to move. If it happens, the move would take effect next year.

In 1998, the Peoria-based company closed its larger manufacturing operation at the Pennsylvania site, cutting more than 1,000 jobs locally.

That spot is now a business center.

Caterpillar is the largest maker of construction and mining equipment.

Volkswagen earnings up 41 percent in 2012 BERLIN – German automaker Volkswagen AG said Friday its net profit increased 41 percent for 2012, but earnings fell a little short of analysts’ expectations and the company issued a cautious forecast for this year.

Full-year earnings rose to €21.7 billion ($28.7 billion) from €15.4 billion the previous year; analysts surveyed by FactSet had expected them to come in just above €22 billion.

Earnings were boosted last year in part by an accounting boost from the complex deal that made Porsche one of Volkswagen’s 12 brands.

Revenues were up 21 percent, rising to €192.7 billion from €159.3 billion. The number of vehicles delivered worldwide last year by the group topped 9 million for the first time, rising 12.2 percent to nearly 9.3 million as growing demand in North America and Asia offset more sluggish sales in Europe, where many countries are in recession.

Harvard community works together Businesses and organizations are run and managed by many volunteers in and around our community. The Harvard Chamber of Commerce is an example of one that functions with a part-time staff and a volunteer board of directors.

As former President Bill Clinton once said, “Citizen service is the very American idea that we meet our challenges not as isolated individuals but as members of a true community, with all of us working together. Our mission is nothing less than to spark a renewed sense of obligation, a new sense of duty, a new season of service.”

Sometimes, through unexpected situations, we get an opportunity to give back to those individuals. In March 1989. chamber President Kevin B. MCFarlin passed away unex-

sick for over the last 18 months and is in need of a kidney. She has been an outstanding volunteer not only at the chamber but also Milk Days, St Joseph Church, Harvard city events and many other organizations.

To help raise money for her ongoing medical bills, we are having a dinner at 5 p.m. March 16 at the Harvard Moose Lodge. The event will include music, dancing, silent auction, and 50/50 cash raffle. Donations and tickets ($10) can be purchased at the door or in advance at the Harvard chamber or First Place Promotions & Awards.

We also will have a meat raffle at Bopp’s Bar & Grill at 6 p.m. March 23.

Americans spent $53B on their pets last year

The Associated Press The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Boeing attempted a major step Friday toward getting its 787 Dreamliners flying again, proposing a fix for the plane’s troubled batteries that could allow the flights to resume as early as April, congressional officials said.

The next question is whether the Federal Aviation Administration will agree to let the planes fly even though the root cause of a battery fire in one plane and a smoking battery in another is still unknown.

A Boeing team led by CEO Ray Conner presented the plan to Federal Aviation Administration head Michael Huerta. The airliners, Boeing’s newest and most technologically advanced, have not been allowed to fly since midJanuary.

The plan calls for revamping the aircraft’s two lithium ion batteries to ensure that any short-circuiting that could lead to a fire won’t spread from one battery cell to the others, officials said. That would be achieved by placing more robust ceramic insulation around each of the battery’s eight cells. The aim is to contain not only the short-circuiting, but any thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that leads to progressively hotter temperatures.

The additional spacers will enlarge the battery, requiring a bigger battery box to hold the eight cells. That new box would also be more robust, with greater insulation along its sides to prevent any fire from escaping and damaging the rest of the plane, officials said.

The plan will require testing and partially recertifying the safety of the plane’s batteries, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.

The testing and recertification will take time, with engineers currently estimating

Even after the batteries are recertified, it could take some more time to get the planes back into the air. Boeing will have to send teams to seven airlines in six countries to retrofit their planes.

It’s up to Huerta to decide whether to approve the plan. But Boeing’s plan is not a surprise, since the company has kept regulators closely informed, the officials said.

Boeing, the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board still have not identified the root cause of a Jan. 7 fire that erupted in an auxiliary power unit battery of a Japan Airlines 787 about a half-hour after the plane landed at Boston’s Logan International Airport. The safety board is investigating that incident, but NTSB officials didn’t attend Friday’s meeting and declined to comment on the proposal.

Engineers and battery experts gathered by Boeing developed a list of possible causes for the fire and a plan to modify the batteries to address the spread of a fire created by any of those causes, officials said.

Nine days after the Boston fire, an All Nippon Airways 787 with a smoking battery made an emergency landing by in Japan. The FAA and aviation authorities overseas ordered the planes grounded soon afterward. There are a total of 50 of the planes in service worldwide, and Boeing had orders for 800 of the airliners at the time they were grounded.

LOS ANGELES –The economy may have remained sluggish last year but Americans refused to scrimp on their pets, with animal lovers spending upwards of $53 billion on food, veterinary care, kennels and other services in 2012.

That’s up 5 percent from 2011, when spending first broke the $50 billion barrier, says the American Pet Products Association, a trade group based in Greenwich, Conn. And APPA President and CEO Bob Vetere predicts

another 4 percent gain this year.

At about $34.3 billion, food and vet care represented about two-thirds of total spending, with money spent on supplies and overthe-counter medications rising by more than 7 percent.

Spending on the growing market of alternative vet care, such as acupuncture, totaled about $12.5 billion.

Vetere says spending on services like grooming, boarding, hotels and pet-sitting grew nearly 10 percent during 2012 to almost $4.4 billion.

SBA head: Agency will avoid major blow from cuts The Associated Press NEW YORK – The head of the U.S. Small Business Administration says she doesn’t expect operations at the agency to be dramatically affected by automatic federal budget cuts scheduled to begin March 1.

Administrator Karen Mills said that the SBA won’t need to furlough employees because it already cut staffers through early retirements.

Mills also expects little impact on the amount of loans the SBA guarantees. According to the White House, SBA loan guarantees would be cut by up to $902 million. In the fiscal year that ended Sept.

30, the agency guaranteed $30 billion. But Mills said demand for one type of loan, known as the 504 loan, is expected to fall this year, and that will likely mean the agency will be able to meet demand for its other loans.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Carl Hiaasen, a columnist and novelist, said, “My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the Mystery section, sometimes in the Humor department, and occasionally even in the Literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding.”

At the bridge table, we try to find lines of play or defense that are favorites to succeed. We accommodate likely distributions.

However, occasionally we must allow for an unlikely scenario to maximize our chances.

In this example, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart queen. What is the best defense? How should South then try to make his contract?

First, East must overtake with his heart king at trick one. South will duck, hoping the king is a singleton, but East returns his second heart. Let’s assume declarer plays low again. West wins and leads a third heart, East discarding a spade.

South starts with seven top tricks: three spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. The other two winners obviously will come from the club suit.

But if West gets on play with the club king, he will cash his last two hearts to defeat the contract.

Declarer must work to keep West off the lead.

After winning the third trick, South should play a spade to the board, then lead the club queen, encouraging East to cover if he has the king. But when East plays low, South should put up his ace.

If the king does not fall, declarer leads another club, hoping East has to take the trick.

Here, though, the king tumbles (a priori, 6.22 percent) and declarer claims 11 tricks.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - You might have to shoulder more responsibilities in the year ahead than what you’re accustomed to handling, but don’t be dismayed -- with enhanced duties come greater rewards.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have a bad attitude, unplanned developments could become overwhelming. Try to roll with the punches and hope for the best.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is a strong chance that you could run into one of your least favorite people at a social gathering. If you allow your dislike to surface, the event is likely to lose its luster.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A disagreement between you and your mate could turn into something serious if neither one of you shows a willingness to compromise. Be the one who offers the olive branch.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Criticism of someone’s work will not necessarily help enhance his or her performance. To encourage this person, your comments must be constructive and positive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you haven’t been too good about managing your money lately, you won’t have the funds you need to do or buy that something you want. Plan better for the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Any restrictions to which you might be subjected are not likely to be the fault of others, but will be a product of your own mismanagement. Be careful where you point the finger of blame.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you’re too selfinvolved, your efforts aren’t likely to bring you much satisfaction today. This malady can easily be cured, however, by putting the needs of others ahead of your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Allowing friends to pressure you into spending more money than necessary could cause you to resent them instead of yourself. You must be the one who has the willpower to abstain.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Because you’re likely to do everything the hard way, you may not be able to achieve all of your objectives. Try to use your time wisely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Guard against a tendency to anticipate negative outcomes. If you think you might fail, you’ll make sure to find a way to prove yourself right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do not allow yourself to get into a situation that would put you in a bad financial position with another. Don’t start borrowing from friends if you’ll have trouble paying them back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful, because your colleagues could have a stronger influence over your doings than you’d like. Their aims might not be in harmony with yours.

Teeth in a Day Procedure with All-On-Four Dental Implants ‘‘Like having a second set of permanent teeth’’

Dr. M. Shakeel Diplomate with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists

Dr. Sunil Sinha Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

By Dr. M. Shakeel LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT FULLY ENJOY EACH AND EVERY REASON TO SMILE If you find yourself avoiding family photos, first impressions or even savoring your favorite foods, Dr. Shakeel’s unique dental implant techniques offer the solutions you’ve been searching for.

The All-On-Four Dental Implants procedure - Teeth in a Day - offers simple, reliable and long-lasting results for patients who are missing teeth or experiencing the frustrations of loose, decayed and broken teeth. Though advanced technology and innovative techniques, dental implants are easier to place, less invasive and have a successful rate of over 95%.

WHY DR. SHAKEEL? With years of experience in the field, Dr. Shakeel is a highly respected expert in the placement and restoration of dental implants from a single missing tooth to the entire upper and lower arch. His background in dental implant surgery provides a strong foundation that ensures medically safe and aesthetically beautiful results.

Furthermore, Dr. Shakeel received extensive hands-on training and assisted with numerous successful cases, under the guidance of the pioneer of the All-on-Four procedure, Dr. Paulo Malo of Portugal (2010). Few in the dental industry possess his mastery of the combined surgical and prosthetic demands of successful implant dentistry, especially executing the All-On-Four procedure.

IDEAL PATIENTS The All-On-Four technique is for patients dissatisfied with their current dentures or for those who have

no practical alternatives for saving their remaining teeth. In most all cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many benefits of a permanent solution to missing teeth through the All-OnFour procedure.

THE TEETH IN A DAY PROCESS This amazing technique enables you to achieve a beautiful, new Smile in a Day by utilizing four implants placed in each arch to which the replacement teeth are securely attached. Gentle oral sedation assures that you receive maximum safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

In addition, the entire process, including any necessary extractions, can be completed in one day with minimal recovery time.The result is a fully functional set of teeth that look and feel natural, improves your self-confidence and allows you to once again experience the foods and activities you enjoy most.

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS • Requires minimal recovery • Reduces overall cost when compared to single implants • Eliminates the need for bone grafting in most all cases • Allows for easy maintenance through proper oral hygiene • Restores the ability to eat all types of foods • Relieves the many frustrations of removable appliances • Ensures long-term results with the potential to last a lifetime • Renews a youthful appearance through bone level stabilization • Creates a whole new smile in just one day • Enhances self-confidence and overall quality of life For more information on Teeth in a Day or on All-On-Four Dental Implants, contact:

Dr. Shakeel Signature Dental Group 815-455-3300 www.signaturedentalgroup.com

All procedures are done under concious sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety. Dr Shakeel and Dr Sinha hold anesthesia permits in the state of Illinois.
