Kati DeMuth and Amy Cole deliver boxes Thursday that hold Box Tops for Education cutouts brought in by students at Westfield Community School in Algonquin. The school has been encouraging students to bring in the box tops to help raise additional money for the school. TOP: DeMuth counts Box Tops for Education cutouts Thursday at Westfield Community School in Algonquin.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake City Council approved plans to more than double the size of the Sage YMCA of Metro Chicago. The building expansion will include a competition pool, wellness area and a new children’s play area and childcare facilities. An additional 133 parking spaces also will be added to the facility for a total of 317 spaces. The building expansion, located at 701 Manor Road, will add 34,430 square feet for a total building area of more than 65,000 square feet. “The Sage YMCA is still in the process of going through building permitting approvals, as well as continuing to secure funding for the renovation,” Sherrie Medina, Sage

Revitalized program raises big money for area schools By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com Amy Cole saw the value a box top off a empty cereal box can provide students and teachers at Westfield Community School in Algonquin when others had long overlooked it. The school finished last school year with only $97 raised from General Mills’

Box Tops for Education program, which rewards schools across the country with 10 cents for every box top collected. Cole, a member of the school’s PTA, saw an opportunity with the program to engage students and provide a financial boost to the school. She joined forces with fellow PTA member Kati

DeMuth, and together they devised a friendly, Olympicstyle competition among classrooms that has resulted into hundreds of box tops being collected at the school each month. “It’s only 10 cents apiece, so people think, ‘Why bother?’ ” Cole said. “But if you can get a couple hundred a

“People are having a hard time financially right now, and it’s hard to ask for money. All we are doing is asking them to cut the box tops and send it to school.” Amy Cole, member of Westfield Community School’s PTA

Illinois Senate gun-carry legislation will get overhaul By JOHN O’CONNOR

At a glance

The Associated Press

A copy of the proposed legislation indicates the plan would require an applicant to not only be free of a criminal record and pass a background check but also provide a “proper reason” for wanting to carry a gun and be “of good moral character.”

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois state senator said Monday he will rework legislation allowing the carrying of concealed guns that emerged last week after concerns about extra levels of scrutiny for Chicago and Cook County, but he de-

fended the proposal against complaints that it was more restrictive than first touted. A copy of Sen. Kwame Raoul’s proposed legislation that was obtained by The Associated Press indicates the plan would require an applicant to not only be free of a criminal record and pass a background check, but provide a “proper

reason” for wanting to carry a gun and be “of good moral character.” Those are hallmarks of laws in states such as New York, where police have wide latitude to deny applications. But Raoul said it was lifted from neighboring Indiana, whose concealed-carry law dates back decades.

The AP review of the Senate legislation came on the same day Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked the U.S. Supreme Court for more time to decide on whether to challenge the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals’ December decree that the state’s concealed carry ban was unconstitutional. The appeals court ordered

Confessions of an American Picker I’ve always loved old stuff. Even as a kid, I had a penchant for things from the past. We didn’t have antiques stores or flea markets in my town back then, but we did have garbage pickup day. I would hop on my bright red Schwinn Spitfire bicycle as I cruised the neighborhood in search of foolishly discarded treasures. Of course, my mom wasn’t too keen on the stuff I brought home … “Michael, what are you doing with a statue of a three-legged horse?” “Mom, isn’t it cool? It even has a clock in its stomach!” “Does the clock work?” “I don’t think so … it’s missing the hands.” “So what will you do with a horse that can’t stand that has a clock that doesn’t work?” “I don’t know … do you think Dad would want it?” I gave it to my father, and that was the last time I saw it. Later, when I asked him what he did with it, he said, “I felt guilty accepting such a nice gift, so I left it in the trash for some other kid to pick up who had a dad who really wanted a statue of a lame horse that

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava didn’t know what time it was.” It sounded reasonable to me, but I sure wasn’t about to give him the Philco record player I found in perfect condition … except for missing the round part that spins. I put that right next to the pink mohair bathroom scale I nabbed. I actually thought that I weighed 230 pounds until I discovered that its dial went backward. So, from that modest but zealous beginning, my quest for old, cheap stuff began. By the time I grew up and discovered garage sales and flea markets and antiques stores, I was well on my way to becoming a full-fledged American Picker. Speaking of “American Pickers,” I received my higher education in Antique Archaeology watching that TV series. Mike Wolf and Frank Fritz star as two guys who see dollar signs in anything old, tarnished and preferably oxidized. As we hear in each program’s in-

troduction, they “travel the back roads of America looking for rusty gold.” These two likable pickers have become my mentors in the fine art of discovery, banter and negotiation. Although Mike specializes in antique motorcycles and old bicycles, and Frank’s forte is old toys and oil cans, I, on the other hand, focus on vintage sports memorabilia. I travel the back roads of McHenry County searching for baseball cards and hockey sticks and even pieces of old stadiums. I drool at the sight of a section of a Wrigley Field bleacher seats and become light-headed while holding a Mickey Mantle autographed baseball. Fortunately, I married a woman who loves antiques. This gives me a bit of leverage when I find something I really can’t live without. Here’s how the banter goes … “Honey, I saw you looking at that vase … would you like it?” “Well, Mike, it’s classic Roseville, and it is beautiful.” “Indeed it is … I especially love the glazing … why don’t you get it?” “Are you sure?” “Absolutely. And while we’re at it, I

found a little card I kinda like. You can get that stunning azure ceramic piece and I’ll settle for a small, slightly faded image of a dead baseball player. What’d you say we get both?” Of course, my wife knows what I’m up to, but I don’t care. What’s important is that she gets some kind of bluish clay thing, while I get a vintage Series T-206 1909 Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame second baseman Johnny Evers baseball card. Win, win baby! So what began with a timeless threelegged horse and a 230-pound 9-year-old has led me to live the American Picker’s dream, digging through the coal to find the diamonds. And if anyone has an old Honus Wagner card you don’t want, I think we can work something out.

• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. A Honus Wagner card is the Holy Grail of sports card collecting. One recently sold at auction for $2.1 million, prompting Michael to mutter, “Geesh, outbid again!” He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

NBA veteran center Jason Collins comes out as gay By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With the simplest of sentences, NBA veteran Jason Collins set aside years of worry and silence to become the first active player in one of four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out as gay. In a first-person article posted Monday on Sports Illustrated’s website, Collins begins: “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.” Collins has played for six teams in 12 seasons, most recently as a reserve with the Washington Wizards after a midseason trade from the Boston Celtics. He is now a free

Representative in Va. holds sway on immigration By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Depending on whom you ask, Rep. Bob Goodlatte is either trying to stand in the way of landmark immigration legislation or he illustrates the new face of the GOP trying to find common ground on a contentious issue. Either way, the soft-spoken collector of elephant figurines and signed baseballs is asserting his pivotal role in the immigration debate as it moves into a critical phase on Capitol Hill. Goodlatte, a conservative Rep. Bob Virginian, took Goodlatte over as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in January, with jurisdiction over both immigration and gun control for House Republicans. He alarmed some immigration advocates last week by saying his panel will tackle the issue piece by piece, advancing a series of narrowly crafted measures rather than a single sweeping bill like the one pending in the Senate and endorsed by President Barack Obama. That broader legislation, crafted by a bipartisan group of eight senators, is headed for votes in the Senate Judiciary Committee starting next week. Kica Matos, director of immigrant rights and racial justice at the Center for Community Change, called Goodlatte’s move “a desperate attempt to delay and disrupt overwhelming momentum” behind legislation to provide legal status and eventual citizenship to millions of foreigners now in the U.S. illegally. A prominent liberal who’s worked with Goodlatte disagreed. It “confirms what I have been saying publicly and privately about the new tone and new interest among Republicans,” said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. Goodlatte’s approach is nothing new for him. For two decades in the House, he’s plotted a steady, deliberate course

on issues from agriculture to Internet privacy. He looks for consensus where possible, but without abandoning his conservative ideology or departing too much from the GOP party line, people who know him say. The difference is that instead of laboring behind the scenes, Goodlatte heads a committee with jurisdiction over key pieces of Obama’s ambitious second-term agenda, most prominently immigration. He said he’s eager to advance the matter, convinced that his piece-by-piece approach is the best way to get the issue moving in the House but not declaring the method will prevail at the end of the day. “This process can be long, but it allows every representative and senator to have their constituents’ voices heard,” Goodlatte said. “And by taking a fine-tooth comb through each of the individual issues within the larger immigration debate, it will help us get a better bill that will benefit Americans and provide a workable immigration system.” In many ways Goodlatte, 60, has been preparing his entire career for his new role, including a first job out of law school as district staff director for an earlier Judiciary Committee member, Caldwell Butler, who served during the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. A Massachusetts native who moved to Virginia for law school and stayed – but remains a devoted Red Sox fan – Goodlatte, who lives in Roanoke, also worked as an immigration lawyer helping clients navigate the byzantine steps involved in bringing workers legally to the U.S. Goodlatte is almost universally described as approachable and willing to listen to opposing views. In addition to collecting baseballs and elephant statuettes that crowd the shelves of his office, he’s a history buff who has traveled to the homes and birthplaces of almost every U.S. president and grows most animated when rattling off obscure facts about them.

8STATE BRIEFS Judge: Prospective jurors can’t see graphic photos PEORIA – A judge has ruled prospective jurors cannot be shown graphic photos of the victims in the killings of a central Illinois family, but can hear descriptions of them. The Springfield State Journal-Register reported that McLean County Judge Scott Drazewksi made the ruling Monday on the first day of the trial of Christopher Harris. Harris is the first of two brothers charged in the killings to go to trial. He and Jason Harris have pleaded not guilty to murder in the September 2009 beating deaths of a Beason couple and three of their children. Jury selection in Christopher Harris’ trial could begin Tuesday and may take several days. The Bloomington Pantagraph reported the judge excluded from the trial a statement about the potential for violence of the 14-year-old victim.

Scott AFB pilot among 4 killed in Afghanistan MASCOUTAH – The U.S. Department of Defense says one of four Air Force members killed in a weekend plane crash in Afghanistan was a pilot who had been stationed at Scott Air Force Base in southwestern Illinois. The department says 28-year-old Capt. Brandon Cyr of Woodbridge, Va., died in Saturday’s crash of an Air Force MC-12 aircraft. The cause of the crash is under investigation. The Pentagon

says there were no reports of enemy activity in the area at the time of the crash. Cyr was an instructor pilot and member of the 906th Air Refueling Squadron within the 375th Air Mobility Wing based at Scott. The base also says Cyr flew with members of the Illinois Air National Guard’s 126th Air Refueling Wing.

Officials say residents whose private well casing has been submerged should use bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, preparing food or baby formula, until the well water has been tested. The department is providing free well testing kits to flooded private water well owners. Officials are advising residents to throw away food that has come in contact with flood water. They suggest people wear rubber boots, gloves and goggles while they clean the affected area. They say residents should discard items that cannot be washed and disinfected such as mattresses, pillows, baby toys and books. Additional tips are available on the department’s website.

Army amputee completes air assault school By KRISTIN M. HALL The Associated Press FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Sgt. 1st Class Greg Robinson has become the first amputee to complete Army air assault school, a course so grueling his prosthetic leg broke twice over the 10 days spent rappelling down ropes, navigating obstacle courses and completing long road marches. Each year thousands of soldiers are physically and mentally tested to their limits at the Fort Campbell school. Instructors said Robinson accomplished everything other participants did and trainers cut him no slack even though he lost part of his right leg in a 2006 deployment to Afghanistan. When he joined his teammates at a brief graduation ceremony Monday at the Sabalauski Air Assault School, it was a testament to what can be achieved by amputees. War wounds from Iraq and Afghanistan and the recent

Sgt. First Class Greg Robinson, 34, of the 101st Airborne Division, greets fellow soldiers Monday at Fort Campbell, Ky., after graduating from air assault school. bombing at the Boston Marathon have highlighted the challenges that amputee patients face to recover. An inspiration to the bombing victims? Robinson, a 34-year-old noncommissioned officer from Elizabethtown, Ill., said his attitude was one of just wanting to complete the same program he sends soldiers to who are under his command.

“Right now, I am a platoon sergeant,” Robinson told reporters after graduating. “I have roughly 30 men in my platoon. As a leader, I didn’t want to tell my soldiers that they needed to go to air assault school, if I am not air assault qualified.” Robinson even toughed out Monday’s 12-mile road march even after he had to repair his leg during the march. Earli-

er, he learned to rappel from a 34-foot tower and pushed through the strenuous obstacle course. Robinson was wounded during an attack during a major military operation in 2006. Robinson said his traumatic injury wasn’t going to prevent him from meeting some of the Army’s toughest standards. The 101st Airborne Division, unlike other airborne units that use planes, uses helicopters to quickly drop troops into combat and move equipment around the battlefield. Each day of the course begins with running a couple of miles and troops are expected to carry a 35-pound ruck sack as they complete their tasks. His instructor, Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Connolly, said at first there was concern whether he was going to make it through when a piston in his leg stopped working during the obstacle course. “He got down and fixed it, reattempted the obstacle and went back on,” Connolly said.

Abortion trial stirs debate on when life ends By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – The high-profile murder trial of a Philadelphia abortion provider sparked courtroom debate Monday over when life ends, a tweak of the politically charged question of when life begins. Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, faces capital murder charges in the deaths of four aborted babies, described by prosecutors as viable, born alive and then killed at his busy West Philadelphia clinic. In closing arguments, Assistant District Attorney Ed Cameron called Gosnell’s operation an assembly line where a stream of poor, mostly minority women and teens endured hours of painful labor and delivery because Gosnell did not successfully abort babies in utero. He instead killed them with scissors after they were born, authorities said. “Are you human?” Cameron asked Gosnell, “to med these women up and stick knives in the backs of babies?” The doctor sat calmly at the defense table, as he has throughout the often graphic six-week trial. Eight former workers have pleaded guilty to murder or other charges and have testified to seeing babies move, breathe or whine. Yet some said they did not consider the babies fully alive until they were charged after a 2011 grand jury investigation. Defense lawyer Jack McMahon has seized on that point and argued again Monday that the occasional spasms the workers saw were not the wriggling movements

of a newborn baby. And he said prosecutors preyed on workers’ emotions and fears to manipulate them into taking pleas that were not always warranted by the facts. “They should be ashamed of themselves for that,” McMahon argued. He acknowledged that jurors have seen graphic, even grisly, photographs of aborted babies and bloody medical equipment. “Abortion – as is any surgical procedure – isn’t pretty,” McMahon said. “It’s bloody. It’s real. But you have to transcend that.” And he refused to back down from aggressive opening remarks in which he called prosecutors “elitist” and “racist” for pursuing his client, who is black and served mostly poor, minority women. “We know why he was targeted,” McMahon said. Gosnell is also charged with third-degree murder in the overdose death of 41-yearold Karnamaya Mongar, who came from Virginia for an abortion in 2009. Among the 54 prosecution witnesses was another Philadelphia abortion provider who said he had performed 40,000 abortions over a 35year career. He said he only performed abortions up until 22 weeks and did them after 17 weeks at a hospital. By contrast, Gosnell performed third-term abortions and had two mentally unstable medical assistants and a teenager on duty delivering anesthesia the night Mongar came in, Cameron said. “If that doesn’t tell you right away what kind of practice Dr. Gosnell ran, nothing will,” Cameron said.

Syrian official escapes bombing The ASSOCIATED PRESS DAMASCUS, Syria – Syria’s prime minister narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in the heart of the heavily defended capital Monday, state media said, laying bare the vulnerability of President Bashar Assad’s regime. The bombing, which killed several other people, highlights an accelerating campaign targeting government officials, from mid-level civil servants to the highest echelons of the Syrian regime. State television said Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi was not hurt in the bombing, which struck his convoy as it drove through the posh Mazzeh neighborhood – home to embassies, government officials and business elites

with close ties to the regime. Footage of the scene broadcast on state TV showed the charred hulks of cars and the burnt-out shell of a bus in a street littered with rubble. The attack on al-Halqi punctuated a series of attacks on government officials in recent weeks. On April 18, gunmen shot dead the head of public relations at the Ministry of Social Affairs while he dined at a Mazzeh restaurant. A day later, a Syrian army colonel was killed in Damascus, and five days after that a bomb killed an official from the Electricity Ministry. Then there are the larger attacks that have shaken the regime to its core. Last month, a suicide bombing at a Damascus mosque killed Sheik Mo-

hammad Said Ramadan alButi, a leading Sunni Muslim preacher and outspoken supporter of Assad. That followed a blast last July that killed four top regime officials, including Assad’s brother-in-law and the defense minister, at the Syrian national security building in the capital. Eager to assure the public that al-Halqi survived Monday’s attack, the state-run Al-Ikhbariya station said the prime minister attended a regular weekly meeting with an economic committee immediately after the bombing. The station broadcast video of al-Halqi sitting at a table with several other officials. Later, in its evening news program, state TV showed video of al-Halqi denounc-

Sanford, Colbert Busch square off in S.C. debate By BRUCE SMITH The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. – Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch squared off in a spirited debate Monday night in the race for the state’s vacant 1st Congressional District seat. Sanford, a Republican, stressed his efforts to rein in spending as a member of Congress and as a two-term governor. He noted that he turned back economic stimulus funds. Colbert Busch reminded Sanford that he used taxpayer funds to “leave the country for a personal purpose” – referring to the extramarital affair with an Argentine woman he had while governor. Sanford didn’t respond. Colbert Busch cited her business experience Monday night and criticized Sanford for voting in Congress against harbor dredging and building a higher bridge for the Port of Charleston. Sanford countered that she must not have been too bothered by it too because she gave $500 to his gubernatorial campaign. The Democrat shot back that Sanford had told her he supported trade and dredging. She turned to him Monday and said, “You didn’t tell the truth.” The candidates also differed over immigration reform, the federal health care overhaul and abortion. The special election is May 7. The debate Monday night at The Citadel was sponsored by the Patch news service, the South Carolina Radio Network and Charleston television station WCBD. The debate was aired by C-SPAN. First-time candidate Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert, was often the aggressor. However, Sanford came armed

with attack lines of his own as he tried to tie her to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and labor unions. She said she was independent and planned to represent the district’s voters, first and foremost. The debate was frequently interrupted by applause and shouts from the audience. The debate was their first joint appearance in the campaign that began after thenU.S. Rep. Tim Scott was appointed to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by fellow Republican Jim DeMint. Sanford and Colbert Busch won their respective party primaries – Sanford after a GOP runoff. They are now vying along with Green Party Candidate Eugene Platt in the May 7 special election in the district, which runs from northeast of Charleston south to the resort of Hilton Head Island. Sanford’s public career was sidelined in 2009 after he revealed he had an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged. More recently, his ex-wife Jenny accused Sanford in a court complaint of repeatedly trespassing in her home. The revelation prompted the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull its support from Sanford’s campaign. Sanford has said he watched part of the Super Bowl at the beach house with their 14-year-old son because he was concerned about the teen watching it alone. Before the debate, Sanford hammered Colbert Busch for not debating more. Sanford accused her of running what he called a stealth campaign, fueled by out-ofstate money, and asserted that voters don’t know where she stands on the issues. Colbert Busch has been busy with her own aggressive campaign schedule, her campaign has said. But she said she doesn’t think the campaign will turn on the debate.

ing the attack, calling it a “terrorist and criminal act” and wishing the wounded a speedy recovery. A government official said two people were killed and 11 wounded in the blast, while the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activist group put the death toll at five, including two of al-Halqi’s bodyguards and one of the drivers in his convoy. The government official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give official statements to reporters. The bombings and assassinations are part of the wider violence wracking Syria as the nation’s conflict enters its third year.

Randy Jackson and Rebbie Jackson (background right), brother and sister of late pop star Michael Jackson, arrive Monday at a courthouse for Katherine Jackson’s lawsuit against concert giant AEG Live in Los Angeles. An attorney for Michael Jackson’s mother says AEG Live owed it to the pop superstar to properly investigate the doctor held criminally responsible for his death.

Lawyer details Jackson’s struggles Says singer had drug addiction By ANTHONY McCARTNEY The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson’s struggle against drug addiction was put on display Monday during opening statements at his mother’s wrongful death case against concert giant AEG Live. Competing portraits of Jackson emerged during the first hours of the trial, with Katherine Jackson’s attorney acknowledging the pop star’s drug problems while also trying to show he was a caring son and father. AEG’s attorney Marvin S. Putnam, however, said the singer’s guarded private life meant the company was unaware that he was using the powerful anesthetic propofol. “The truth is, Michael Jackson fooled everyone,” Putnam said. “He made sure that no one, nobody, knew his deepest darkest secrets.”

A jury of six men and six women will determine whether AEG should pay Jackson’s mother and three children after his 2009 death from an overdose of propofol. Millions and possibly billions of dollars in damages are at stake in the case that opened with private photos and video clips of Jackson dancing. Katherine Jackson’s attorney Brian Panish also played a song that Jackson wrote for his three children, and a note the singer had written for his mother that brought tears to her eyes as she sat in court. Katherine Jackson sued AEG Live in September 2010, claiming it failed to properly investigate physician Conrad Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson’s doctor as he prepared for his “This Is It” shows. She is also suing on behalf of her son’s three children – Prince, Paris and Blanket. AEG denies it hired Murray, and its attorneys have said they could not have foreseen the circumstances that

led to Jackson’s death at age 50. Panish told jurors that AEG executives ignored warning signs about Jackson’s health and were motivated to push the singer and his doctor to improve their own financial fortunes. “We’re not looking for any sympathy,” Panish said. “We’re looking for truth and justice.” With Jackson’s mother, brother Randy and sister Rebbie seated in the front row of the courtroom, jurors were shown numerous slides and several scribbled notes. A couple of jurors nodded when the lawyer referenced Jackson’s achievements, including successful concert tours and a Super Bowl performance. Katherine Jackson dabbed her eyes after Panish read a note that her son wrote to her, detailing his feelings about her. “All my success has been based on the fact that I wanted to make my mother proud,” the singer’s note to his mother said, “to win her smile of approval.”

BAGHDAD – A wave of car bomb blasts tore through Shiite areas south of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 36 and deepening fears that Iraq is rapidly spiraling back out of control. The attacks capped a week of turmoil that is posing the greatest test of Iraq’s stability since U.S. troops left the country in late 2011. At least 218 people have been killed in attacks and battles between gunmen and security forces that began with clashes at a Sunni protest camp in northern Iraq last Tuesday. The unrest follows four months of widespread protests among Iraq’s Sunni minority, who feel they are discriminated against and are being marginalized by Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki’s Shiite-led government.

FDA will investigate added caffeine in foods WASHINGTON – Trail mix. Potato chips. And now gum. With a growing number of foods boasting added caffeine for an energy boost, the Food and Drug Administration says it’s time to investigate their safety. The FDA’s new look at added caffeine and its effects on children and adolescents is in response to a caffeinated gum introduced this week by Wrigley. Called Alert Energy Gum, it promises “The right energy, right now.” The agency is already investigating the safety of energy drinks and energy shots, prompted by consumer reports of illness and death. Michael Taylor, FDA’s deputy commissioner of foods, said Monday that the only time FDA explicitly approved the added use of caffeine in a food or drink was in the 1950s for colas.

U.S. loans from China at issue in debt-ceiling fight By TOM RAUM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Despite what you may have heard, China isn’t the country’s biggest creditor. America is. The bulk of the national debt – soon to exceed a staggering $17 trillion – is held by the Federal Reserve, Social Security system, various pension plans for civil service workers and military personnel, U.S. banks, mutual funds, private pension plans, insurance companies and individual domestic investors.

China is responsible for just a shade over 7 percent of that total debt. And while it remains the single largest foreign lender (just ahead of Japan), China’s been slowly trimming its holdings, down from nearly 10 percent a few years ago. Overall, all foreign investors – including national central banks – account for roughly one third of the total outstanding federal government debt. Also, China is suddenly having debt problems of its own. Heavy recent lending by its banks comes as the recov-

ery in the world’s second-largest economy seems to be stalling. The export giant posted a rare trade deficit in March. The national debt will soon be front-and-center again as a deeply divided Congress wrestles with an expected new Obama administration request to increase the government’s borrowing authority, the legislatively set debt ceiling. The higher limit would not authorize borrowing for new spending but just enables the government to pay all the bills already racked up. The upcoming summer de-

bate could be a repeat of the divisive debt-ceiling crisis in August 2011 when weeks of political irresolution nearly plunged the U.S. into its first-ever financial default – and did trigger a downgrade in the government’s once-sterling credit rating. Congressional leaders are already drawing lines in the sand for the next big fiscal fight. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said the only way the GOP-led House will go along with raising the country’s borrowing ceiling was if President Barack

Obama and the Democrats came up with a “dollar-for-dollar” amount in budget cuts. Yet despite China’s relatively shrinking share of the U.S. debt, it continues to be the top poster child for financing America’s deficit spending habit, a favorite target for politicians in both parties. It’s not as if U.S. leaders approach China’s bankers extending a tin cup and begging for loans. The Chinese government does what many individual investors do – it simply buys and holds widely available U.S. Treasury bills,

bonds and notes. U.S. politicians see the mountain of debt, but investors globally view U.S. Treasury securities as among the world’s safest financial havens, reflected in part by their current super-low yields. Bill Clinton in 1992 branded China’s leaders the “butchers of Beijing.” Texas Gov. George W. Bush eight years later blasted outgoing President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, Bush’s Democratic challenger, for policies he suggested appeased Beijing.

Building plans call for pool viewing area and splash pad • YMCA Continued from page A1

AP file photo

Children from southern Somalia hold their pots as they line up in August 2011 to receive cooked food in Mogadishu, Somalia. Officials in East Africa say a report to be released this week by two U.S. government-funded famine and food agencies gives the highest death toll yet from Somalia’s 2011 famine, estimating that 260,000 people died – more than double previous estimates.

vice president of marketing and communications, said in a statement to the Northwest Herald. “With our new renovation, the Sage YMCA will provide a great place to grow and serve as a destination for children and families from Crystal Lake, Cary, Lake in the Hills, Fox River Grove, Woodstock and McHenry for years to come.” Along with the competition pool, the building plans call for mezzanine spectator

seating, a pool viewing area, a pool deck and a splash pad. “They are doing a major upgrade to the facility,” Crystal Lake Planner Lakita Bhide said. “The competition pool will be a great benefit to the residents in the area. I think it will be a great addition.” A traffic study was conducted to determine whether any increased traffic might result from the building expansion, and it was concluded that no roadway improvements are required to accommodate the increase. The Sage YMCA expects to break ground on the renovation this year and complete

the expansion in 2014. The Crystal Lake “Y” was renamed the Sage YMCA in June 2011 after a donation from the Foglia Family Foundation. Vince Foglia, chairman and CEO of Sage Products in Cary, did not specify on the donation amount, but he said it was in the millions of dollars and would spread out over a period of four or five years. The YMCA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2011. It cited increased competition, pending lawsuits, higher insurance costs and a decline in membership.

Report finds at least 260K Box Tops has generated $525M have died in Somali famine for schools in country since 1996 By JASON STRAZIUSO The Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya – The 2011 Somali famine killed an estimated 260,000 people, half of them age 5 and under, according to a new report to be published this week that more than doubles previous death toll estimates, officials told The Associated Press. The aid community believes that tens of thousands of people died needlessly because the international community was slow to respond to early signs of approaching hunger in East Africa in late 2010 and early 2011. The toll was also exacerbated by extremist militants from al-Shabab who banned food aid deliveries to the areas of south-central Somalia that they controlled. Those same militants have also made the task of figuring out an accurate death toll extremely difficult. A Western official briefed on the new report – the most authoritative to date – told AP that it says 260,000 people died, and that half the victims were

5 and under. Two other international officials briefed on the report confirmed that the toll was in the quarter-million range. All three insisted they not be identified because they were not authorized to share the report’s contents before it is officially released. The report is being made public Thursday by FEWSNET, a famine early warning system funded by the U.S. government’s aid arm USAID, and by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia, which is funded by the U.S. and Britain. A previous estimate by the U.K. government said between 50,000 and 100,000 people died in the famine. The new report used research conducted by specialists experienced in estimating death tolls in emergencies and disasters. Those researchers relied on food and mortality data compiled by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit. Because of the imprecise nature of the data available, the toll remains only an estimate. When asked about the re-

port, Somalia Health Minister Maryan Qasim Ahmed said she didn’t want to comment until she read it because of questions she had about the accuracy of the figures. Sikander Khan, the head of UNICEF in Somalia, also said he needed to look at the report’s methodology before commenting specifically. But he said generally that the response to the famine was problematic because it depended on political dynamics. He said the international community needs to change the way it classifies famines. “You lose children by the time people realize it’s met the established definition of famine,” he said. Marthe Everard, the World Health Organization’s country director for Somalia, said she has not yet seen the report but would not be surprised by such a high death toll. “The Somalis themselves were shocked about the number of women and children dying,” she said, adding later: “It should give us lessons learned, but what do we do with it? How do we correct it for next time?”

Chicago Dem says proposal a compromise • OVERHAUL Continued from page A1 Violence-weary Chicago Democrats believe more guns are not the answer and have proposed restrictive measures. Second Amendment devotees elsewhere in the state argue for permissive rules that grant gun-toting permits to virtually anyone who meets the requirements. Raoul, a Chicago Democrat, advertised his proposal as a compromise. It recognized “sensitivities” of densely populated Chicago and Cook County, he said, by proposing local police be able to deny an “endorsement” to carry in those jurisdictions even if the Illinois State Police had approved an applicant’s permit for the rest of the state. Gun rights advocates pounced on the idea as too bureaucratic. They also argued Raoul was mistaken when he said that his legislation constituted a plan in which police had to provide a permit if an applicant passed a background check and acquired requisite safety training. That’s because Raoul’s initial legislation would also re-

quire an applicant to provide state police with “a proper reason for carrying a firearm” and prove that he or she “is a responsible person of good moral character” whose permit would be “consistent with public safety.” “We just think that if you pass the background check, and you meet all the qualifications with the training, you should be able to get a concealed carry permit, no matter who you are,” said Rep. Brandon Phelps, a Democrat from Harrisburg who is the House point person on concealed carry and a proponent of more permissive concealed carry law. Raoul said a staff member told him that verbiage came from neighboring Indiana, which has been considered a conservative “shall issue” state for at least 25 years. “I’ve never heard anybody characterize the state of Indiana as having a super-liberal approach to guns,” Raoul said. “Proper reason” is stated plainly in the Hoosier state’s law: It is “for the defense of oneself or the state of Indiana.” Raoul said he envisions something similar in Illinois.

A “threat,” for example, could be as simple as an applicant stating that he or she feels unsafe because of the crime rate in the neighborhood. Raoul said he might propose alternatives for colleagues to consider, such as a plan where state police make the decision but allow an opportunity for Chicago or Cook County police to object to, but not deny, a permit. That’s along the lines of the Phelps’ more permissive plan. Legislative agreement on the issue – while elusive at the moment – plays into Madigan’s petition to the Supreme Court asks for more time to consider an appeal. “No decision has been made yet in terms of what our next steps will be,” Madigan spokeswoman Natalie Bauer said. “But the attorney general will make a final decision partly based on a very careful review of a draft petition.” The request contends the ruling on Illinois’ gun permits raised questions about whether the Second Amendment applies outside the home and if it does, what standards should govern it and how a state could respond to challenges to those standards.

• BOX TOPS Continued from page A1 month from a couple of classrooms, it adds up. It’s a no-brainer really.” The revitalized program so far has raised $7,000 that goes back to the Westfield PTA, which then uses the money to pay for school supplies, field trips and classroom accessories at the request of teachers. The box top proceeds might seem small in comparison with the Carpentersville-based District 300 school’s budget, but it often can bring added value to schools increasingly constrained by budget cuts and a sluggish economy, Cole said. Since 1996, Box Tops for Education has generated $525 million for schools across the country. Started by General Mills, the program now involves 240 brands and rewards schools for simply collecting box top labels. The program relies on the dedication of local school coordinators, such as Cole and DeMuth, to motivate students to cut out box tops both at school and at home. Local PTA organizations often use the Box Top program and others, such as Tyson Chicken’s “Project A+”, Prairie Farms’ “Cash for Caps,” and Target’s “Take Charge of Education,” to raise money for schools. “People are having a hard time financially right now,

Kati DeMuth and Amy Cole count Box Tops for Education cutouts Thursday brought in by students at Westfield Community School in Algonquin. and it’s hard to ask for money,” Cole said. “All we are doing is asking them to cut the box tops and send it to school.” Westfield’s newfound success with the box top program ranks the school No. 1 in money raised within the McHenry County area. Every month, Cole and DeMuth reward the elementary classroom that collected the most box tops with a trophy and Olympic-styled medals. At Westfield’s middle school grades, students who turn in box tops are awarded at random each month with gift cards from iTunes, Jamba Juice and local businesses. The competitive approach mirrors the box top competition at Huntley District 158’s Leggee Elementary, which currently ranks second in the region. Other top-ranked

area schools include District 158’s Chesak Elementary and Crystal Lake District 47’s Woods Creek Elementary. Leggee coordinator Anitra Willis manages a Huntley box top program that has raised an average of $6,000 for the past three years. The school is approaching that benchmark again this year, following months of competition. The top-performing class at Leggee receives a trophy each month, and the elementary students receive a certificate and coupons to local businesses. Willis has even started mentoring neighboring coordinators, including Cole, on the value of running a successful box top collection. “This is what I’m known for,” Willis said. “I can’t throw away a box top. It’s like throwing away a dime in the recycling bin.”

Bill targets drunk boaters Should drunken motorboat operators continue to get away with a slap on the wrist if they get caught? Or should sharper teeth be added to the law to curb their enthusiasm for tipsy boating? State Sen. Julie Morrison, a Deerfield Democrat, and Pam Althoff, a McHenry Republican, favors the latter approach. A bill sponsored by Morrison and Althoff, which passed the Illinois Senate on Thursday, 54-0, certainly For the record would give pause to motorboat opWith the Fox River and the erators statewide, if it becomes law. Chain O’ Lakes in our region, The Boating boating safety is a constant Under the Influconcern. ence bill would authorize the Secretary of State’s Office to suspend a person’s driver’s license if that individual is found to be operating a motorboat while intoxicated. A blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher would indicate intoxication, the same level as is applied to vehicular drivers. Piloting a boat while under the influence of drugs or other intoxicating compounds would also put operators in jeopardy of having their motor vehicle driver’s licenses suspended. The bill received “yes” votes from three area state senators: Althoff; Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington; and Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles. With the Fox River and the Chain O’ Lakes in our region, boating safety is a constant concern, particularly now as warmer weather approaches. Some people may believe the bill to toughen penalties for drunken motorboat piloting is a stretch. After all, the offense takes place on the water, not on roadways. Why suspend driving privileges on land for something that didn’t happen there? We don’t buy that argument. Boats are required to be licensed by the state. Drunken motorboat operation occurs on state-owned waterways. Extending the punishment for a moving violation on water to the operation of motor vehicles on land provides a sensible incentive for boat operators to stay sober. We note that operators of boats with no motors would not be subject to the harsher penalties. Neither would passengers on recreational boats, however the boats are powered. The bill will now be considered by the Illinois House. We hope its members show the same wisdom as their Senate colleagues.

Congress grossly misjudged the public’s response to its misplaced and in many cases senseless budget cuts.

The Second Amendment: “A wellregulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” When this amendment was written, Americans were using muskets and bayonets, not highpowered, automatic weapons and large ammunition clips. How dare you mention Sandy Hook, where small, innocent children were blown apart and call it “the Democrats liberal bleeding hearts?” My heart was a bleeding heart that day, and those were not my children or distant relatives.

To the Editor: When gun advocates get down to their last argument, it’s always that citizens need guns to resist an oppressive government. I hope the gun lovers have been watching their TVs. Now the whole world knows how stupid that argument sounds. The entire forces of the NRA cannot resist what government can bring to bear. It is ridiculous to think so. If you have a love for marksmanship or hunting, fine. If you earn a livelihood by dealing with bad guys, sure, get yourself a gun. If you have property of value that someone might steal or take by force, you may need a gun. Remember that if you have a gun in your house, the chances that it will be used to hurt someone you love are increased. The Supreme Court considers what congressmen say when a law is passed. Chances are pretty good that if they say the law will not infringe your rights, it won’t. Don’t prove yourself a fool by repeating the lies being told by the NRA. Lloyd Stoner

Vote out county board To the Editor: I have a real problem with the McHenry County Board spending our hard-earned tax money to legally represent Mr. Bianchi. Why doesn’t he pay his own legal fees? What has he done to warrant the board to pay his legal fees with our hard-earned tax dollars? I am asking the board how is intends on back-filling the money paid for his legal fees? Let me guess. Raise taxes again? I say at the next election we vote the entire McHenry County Board out of office for stupid stuff like this. If we don’t stop them now, they will continue using our money for whatever they want. Gary Abraham Harvard

Poll says Illinois voters OK with stronger Chicago gun laws A new statewide poll shows a majority of Illinoisans favor concealed carry. But an overwhelming majority in every area of the state also say it’s OK with them if Chicago and Cook County police have additional authority over who gets to carry in their own jurisdictions. The Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll of 1,284 likely voters found that 52 percent say they approve of allowing concealed carry. “Illinois lawmakers are debating proposed laws that would allow some citizens who are properly licensed to carry concealed firearms,” respondents were told. “In general, do you approve or disapprove of allowing licensed citizens to carry loaded, concealed firearms?” The poll, taken Wednesday, found that 46 percent disapprove and only 2 percent were neutral or had no opinion. The poll had a margin of error of plus-minus 2.7 percent. Twenty-six percent of the numbers called were cellphones. Geography breaks down pretty

much how you’d expect. Chicagoans staunchly opposed concealed carry, 69-29, while suburban Cook County voters opposed it, 52-46. Downstaters strongly support the proposal, 67-32, and collar county voters support it, 53-46. Women disapproved of the idea, 55-43, while men supported it, 64-34. Republicans backed it, 72-26, Democrats opposed it, 34-65, and independents favored it, 61-36. AfricanAmericans opposed the idea, 61-36, but whites backed it, 56-43, as did Latinos, 56-43. The results for the poll’s second question were even more interesting. The Senate is currently considering a plan that would allow Chicago police and the Cook County Sheriff to reject State Police-issued concealed-carry permits if they have questions about the applicants’ character. The plan stalled last week when Republican senators balked after strong National Rifle Association opposition and Chicagoarea Democrats demanded more

VIEWS Rich Miller restrictions in the rest of the bill. But the voting public absolutely loves this idea, with a whopping 73 percent voicing their approval. “I can’t get 73 percent of people to agree that it’s dark at midnight,” We Ask America pollster Gregg Durham joked. “If a concealed-carry law is passed, Chicago and Cook County law enforcement officials want the right to stop a permit being issued to any individual in Chicago or Cook County when there is a concern about the applicant’s character,” respondents were told. “Do you think they should be able to stop a permit in Chicago or Cook County under those circumstances?” A mere 22 percent disagreed with the proposal, and only 5 percent were neutral or had no opinion.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

The results didn’t surprise Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, who is attempting to craft a compromise bill. Raoul said he believed that downstaters don’t care what happens in Chicago or anywhere else as long as they get their right to carry. And Chicagoans are so concerned about guns that they want their local cops to have an extra say. According to the poll, a hugely strong 71 percent of likely downstate voters said they approved of the plan, while 25 percent were opposed. The NRA has threatened legislators with retaliation if Chicagoans don’t end up with the same access to concealed carry as everyone else, but that particular message may not fly as long as downstaters get what they want for themselves. Even so, downstaters seem to be sticking with the NRA. “I am working to pass a concealed-carry law that specifically says it shall apply to all counties in Illinois,” state Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, wrote on his website last week. “The Second Amendment

of the Constitution applies [to] all citizens, including those in Chicago.” But a sky-high 80 percent of likely Chicago voters approved of the proposal, as did 72 percent of suburban Cook voters and 71 percent of collar county voters. Support also was very high across all demographics. Women were 80-14 in favor, and men were 62-32 in favor. Black voters backed it, 75-16, whites supported it, 65-34, and Latinos approved of it, 75-18. Republicans supported it, 64-30, Democrats favored it, 82-13, and independents backed it, 67-23. Results like that could make you think this ought to be a no-brainer issue. But the NRA is bringing all of its considerable might to the table here, and that muscle is, so far, outweighing overwhelming public opinion.

ALGONQUIN MAN DIES IN ACCIDENT EAST DUNDEE – An Algonquin man died Saturday in an accident likely caused by heart failure, police said. Thomas C. Nejmeh, 40, of 1608 Hartley Drive, Algonquin, was driving north on Route 25 about 11:10 a.m. when his 2006 Lincoln Zephyr went over a curb and through cemetery property before crashing into an unoccupied building at 220 S. Dundee Ave., East Dundee. A nearby officer on duty said he didn’t see the car’s brake lights, and no skid or slide marks were found. The officer found the man slumped over and unconscious on the passenger seat, according to a news release. Nejmeh was taken to Sherman Hospital, where he died at 12:04 p.m. An exam indicated Nejmeh experienced heart problems just before the crash, according to the release. The airbag wasn’t deployed, and Nejmeh wasn’t wearing a seat belt, police said.

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Organizers don’t know who or exactly when, but someone in Harvard just might have bought the most expensive Tootsie Pop ever during a Harvard Lions Club event this past weekend. Members of the all-volunteer club hold fundraising events like this a couple of times a year. Volunteers stand on Ayer Street in Harvard collecting donations in milk jugs and handing out treats in exchange. Tootsie Pop Day is in the spring. Candy Day is in the fall. Donations are generally mild – lots of change and ones, some fives, the occasional 10 or 20 – but consistent. But in the shuffle this weekend, someone snuck a $100 bill in one of the jugs and slipped away unnoticed. “Usually you can see them when they’re put in,” said Don Larson, the club’s secretary and chairman of the

MEN IN HARVARD BAR FIGHT SOUGHT HARVARD – Police are asking for help to find three suspects who allegedly jumped a Harvard man. Harvard police responded to a disturbance at Cool Music Stop Bar & Grill, 10 N. Ayer St., Harvard, just after 2 a.m. April 20. A 27-year-old Harvard resident said he was struck several times by three people. The suspects are described as male Hispanics who fled south on Ayer Street in a dark green Honda Civic with a damaged windshield and passenger window. They were wearing hats and hooded sweatshirts on the night of the incident, police said. One suspect is about 6 feet tall, 250 to 275 pounds with curly hair. Another had a similar build and a teardrop tattoo under his left eye. A third suspect was taller and thinner. He was wearing a gold and red San Francisco 49ers hat the night of the incident. Police are encouraging those with information to call the department at 815-943-4431 or Crime Stoppers at 815-9434343.

WL man Village’s damage assessment still underway surrenders peacefully in standoff By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com

FOX LAKE – Residents and business owners affected by the recent flooding will not have to pay for building permits, the Fox Lake Village Board decided Monday. Hundreds of homes in the flood plain could have sustained damage, Building Commissioner Frank Urbina said. “Some of these residents have been through quite a bit of hardship,” Urbina said in his recommendation that the board reduce or waive fees for affected residents. Village staff has been assessing the damage, getting out to about 15

homes Monday, Urbina said. Some homes showed signs of water reaching four feet in the basement, and others without basements showed water damage a foot off the ground. Some of these homes will need electrical wiring and outlets, plumbing and siding replaced, repairs that require permits. While homeowners and business owners affected by the flood will have the fee for their building permit waived, they still need to get a building permit, Urbina said. Any structural, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work, as well as tree removal, requires permits. More information, including a building permit application, is

available at the village’s website, foxlake.org. Building permits last six months and can be extended for another six months for no extra charge. That will stay the same for those with waived fees. The on-site assessments and the information gathered through the building permit process will help the village compile information for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. McHenry County also waived its building and stormwater permit fees through the end of the year for flood-damaged structures. Lake County is considering a similar waiver, Trustee Donny Schmit said.

Floodwaters still causing headaches By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com HOLIDAY HILLS – For three days, Linda Gethner’s Holiday Hills home was surrounded by water after heavy thunderstorms pounded McHenry County earlier this month. The power was out. The plumbing didn’t work. A foot of water had seeped into her crawl space. She and her husband were trapped. “Worst disaster of my life,” Gethner said. “I thought I was going to lose my husband, who is 75, trying to sandbag and save the house.” Floodwaters wreaked havoc on many Holiday Hills homes, and some people still are dealing with high water levels and a cleanup effort that likely will take weeks. The water level receded enough so Gethner and her husband could leave their home, but her neighbors down the street weren’t as lucky. Two homes still were surrounded by water Monday, one of which received upward of 10 feet of water inside,

By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com WONDER LAKE – A man who fired gunshots inside his Wonder Lake home surrendered to police Sunday night after a standoff, according to the Wonder Lake Police Department. Police were called to a home in the 5700 block of East Lake Shore Drive around 5 p.m. Sunday for a report of a disturbance, according to Wonder Lake Police. Officers arrived to find a woman outside the home. The woman told police she had gotten into an argument with her husband inside the home, and that he fired a shotgun before barricading himself inside the residence, Wonder Lake police Sgt. John Hohol said. She was taken to safety while members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Bull Valley and Wonder Lake police departments set up a perimeter around the home. The sheriff’s office brought its mobile armored rescue vehicle (MARV), and a SWAT team later established contact with the man, Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said. A crisis negotiator spoke with the man, who later surrendered to police without incident. A shotgun was fired inside the home, which left holes in some of the walls, Zinke said. Police made reverse 911 calls to residents in the area during the incident. Kenneth Stubner, 46, later was taken to the hospital for evaluation. He was released Monday morning, and charged with a felony count of aggravated discharge of a firearm. Stubner is being held at the McHenry County Jail on a $120,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing.

She even wears a bracelet made out of old magazine pages. “It was the most interesting to me,” Forbes said. “Here, we tend to recycle without even thinking about it. ... When I went to Ecuador, we threw away everything. I felt I could

do something about that. Before they thought about recycling, they threw their trash, unsorted, off the mountain. It would eventually get into the river. ... It was messy.” She lived in an area of about 15,000 people where there was fighting against mining influences. “They’re looking for more ecological alternatives,” Forbes said. The mining tends to contaminate a lot of the rivers in the area because it uses so much water, Forbes said. “It has a lot of nasty byproducts,” she said. In her province, locals were able

to bring 395 pounds of plastic and metal products to Ibarra, a threehour drive away, and sell them. The money was used to buy bags of candy and animal crackers for the children in the area. Forbes said she expects the volunteer who replaced her to continue the recycling program. She left for Ecuador on Feb. 2, 2011, and was on the last flight out before a blizzard hit the Midwest. “I didn’t have a job, I wasn’t in school, it was a good time, I don’t

The work will cause temporary lane closures and traffic delays along the affected route, which includes Fairview Avenue between Chapel Hill Road and about 150 feet north of Johnsburg Road. The resurfacing and landscape restoration are the final steps for the two-phase project, which involved installing sewer infrastructure along Fairview Avenue from Chapel Hill Road to Church Street and continuing onto West Church Street about 300 feet. About 30 properties, including the Johnsburg Public Library, Johnsburg Junior High School and James C. Bush Elementary School, can hook up with the completed section.

Flood damage is ‘very, very devastating’ • FLOODWATERS Continued from page B1 Gethner said. “A guy down here can’t get in and out of his house without a boat,” she said. Her two neighbors have evacuated their homes. The day for many Holiday Hills residents begins with pumping. And more pumping. And bleaching carpets and floors to remove the stench of sewage and floodwaters. And then more pumping. “We’ve gone three days without sleep – nights and days – to fight the water,” Holiday Hills resident Gloria Kraft said. “It’s very, very devastating.” Kraft has spent more than $1,000 on rental pumps and

gasoline over the past seven days as water leaked into her family room, laundry room and sunroom. But the biggest cost for many people will come next month with the utility bill. “Between the gas bill and the ComEd bill, it’s gong to be real fun,” said Jennifer Osterman-Keyes, a Holiday Hills resident who saw twoand-a-half feet of water approach the line of sandbags she placed in front of her home. “But kudos to Iron Mike who actually did a whole bunch for everyone in the township,” Osterman-Keyes added, referring to Mike Lesperance, who recently won the Nunda Township election for highway commissioner. Many in Holiday Hills credited Nunda Township

for a swift and thorough response to the floodwaters. “If it hadn’t been for the township and the firemen and everybody that volunteered, we would have lost everything,” Gethner said. “We called, and within an hour they were here.” “The township staff are the hardest working men, and they really care about serving their community,” said Joe Maldenke, operations manager for Nunda Township. Township volunteers filled sandbags for 18 hours a day, over three days and delivered them to affected residents. And next Monday, township volunteers will be picking up sandbags that residents put on the side of the road, Maldenke said.

over concerns about state education funding and the potential shift of pension costs to local districts. It expects to hire at least some of those teachers back, Superintendent Dan Johnson has said. The district continues to have low fund balances, which means it doesn’t have a lot of wiggle room to absorb costs.

Guilty verdict in tainted well water case By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – After a former suburban Chicago water official was convicted Monday for lying about secretly mixing carcinogen-tainted well water into the village’s drinking supply, the sense of bitterness and betrayal among residents remained. Speaking through her tears shortly after the verdict, Crestwood resident Tricia Krause, who was credited with first raising the alarm about the water quality, said village officials had displayed shocking callousness. “What did the citizens of Crestwood and my family do to the water department? Nothing,” she said at the federal courthouse in Chicago. “We were secretly poisoned and it wasn’t right.” Longtime water department supervisor Theresa Neubauer, 55, stared down at the defense table earlier Monday and showed no emotion as a judge read the verdict – guilty on all 11 counts. But addressing reporters later, she struggled to keep her composure.

Theresa Neubauer, the former water supervisor in Crestwood, enters the federal court building Thursday in Chicago. On Monday, Neubauer was convicted of lying for decades about drawing water for residents from a well the village knew was tainted by a cancer-causing chemical. “I’m devastated,” she said, her voice breaking. “My family and friends are devastated.” Neubauer, who is on paid leave as Crestwood’s police chief, was found guilty of making false statements to environmental regulators. Each of the 11 counts carries a maximum five-year prison

term. The judge set a tentative sentencing date of Oct. 2. From 1982 until the allegations arose in 2008, the village mixed the tainted well water with cleaner but pricier water from Lake Michigan, prosecutors said. Officials kept pumping the tainted water even after environmental officials warned in the mid-1980s that

cancer-causing chemicals had oozed into the well, prosecutors have said. And the motive? Leaders in the 11,000-resident village about 20 miles south of Chicago hoped to score political points with voters by pointing to low water rates and bragging about how they were fiscally responsible stewards, prosecutors said. By drawing the well water, they saved around $400,000 annually. The revelations infuriated residents and left many fearing for their health. Krause began looking into village water records in 1999. Though a clear cause and effect has not been independently established, Krause says she was spurred into action after suspecting the water sickened her children, and was responsible for her daughter’s brain tumor. “People did not believe in me,” she said about the initial reaction to her suspicions. It was after reports by the Chicago Tribune in 2008 that investigations were launched – eventually leading to the charges against Neubauer and one other official. Frank Scaccia, 61, Crestwood’s certi-

fied water operator, changed his plea to guilty earlier this month to one count of making false statements and faces a maximum five-year prison term. Neubauer repeated in her remarks Monday what her lawyer had told jurors during the trial: Officials higher up the chain of command devised and carried out the plot to divert a percentage of well water into the village’s supply. “I was unknowingly sucked into it,” she said. Despite being the longtime supervisor of Crestwood’s water department, she described her role as little more than a clerk. She apologized to the Crestwood’s residents but quickly qualified the apology. “I would also like to add that it was none of my decision,” she said. During closings Friday, a prosecutor said Neubauer was part of the Crestwood government’s inner circle and signed forms for years indicating no well water was drawn. “She told lie after lie, month after month, year after year,” Tim Chapman said.

Legal fight settled over Chicago parking meters By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Monday that he was able to tweak a deal to privatize the city’s parking meters that has proven to be a national embarrassment even as he acknowledged that the city is stuck for the next 71 years with a contract he inherited and despises. “We cannot make this bad deal go away and make it into a good one,” the mayor said at a City Hall news conference of the $1.15 billion, 75-year deal reached in 2008 by predecessor Richard M. Daley that led to Chicago having the most expensive parking in the country. “But I think we did make it a little less bad for the next seven decades.” Emanuel, who called his proposal an effort to “make a little lemonade out of a big lemon,” said he was able to secure from Chicago Parking Meters LLC an agreement to stop charging for parking in the city’s residential neighborhoods on Sundays. But to get that concession, Emanuel had to give one: Metered parking hours will be extended an hour until 10 p.m., as well as an additional three hours in the trendy near North Side. Emanuel has been embroiled in a battle over tens of millions of dollars Chicago Parking Meters LLC has contended the city owes for revenue lost when streets are closed for festivals and other reasons. On Monday, he said the company has agreed to settle for much less than it has demanded. Under the agreement, the city will settle invoices totaling $49 million

CHICAGO – Prosecutors on Monday announced that four men have been charged in the slayings of a woman and two children more than two years ago in south suburban Chicago. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez announced charges Monday against 29-year-old Darryl Lloyd, 25-year-old Faheem Norwood, 23-year-old Dejuan Crockett and 29-year-old Brandon Griffin. They were charged in the Oct. 24, 2010, shooting deaths of 28-year-old Donysha Stovall, 16-year-old Shaquill Davis and 10-year-old Clarisma Torry and the attempted murder of a 4-year-old child. Lloyd appeared in bond court in Markham on Monday where he was denied bond.

Black ministers robocall against gay marriage CHICAGO – Some Chicago-area black clergy have issued robocalls in opposition to legalizing same-sex marriage in Illinois. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the African-American Clergy Coalition launched another round of calls Monday. The 40-second messages feature the voice of former state Sen. James Meeks, who is senior pastor of Chicago’s Salem Baptist Church. In the message Meeks said in his view “samesex marriage should not be the law of the state of Illinois.” The state Senate last month approved legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry. It awaits a floor vote in the House, where Speaker Michael Madigan has said passing it will be “very difficult.” Gov. Pat Quinn has said he would approve gay marriage. Some prominent African-American ministers have said that they do support gay marriage.

Students sought for music festival’s tech side event CHICAGO – Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office is looking for 100 technology and computer science college students from across the nation to travel to Chicago during Lollapalooza 2013 weekend. The students will be part of ThinkChicago: Lollapalooza. The event will allow the students to attend the music festival as well as a series of workshops designed to showcase Chicago as a hub of innovation, including resume pairings and interviews hosted by local companies. In a statement, Emanuel said the event is an example of how his administration is trying to attract the best and brightest to Chicago. Interested students have until May 31 to submit an online application. Event organizers said they prefer that candidates be juniors or seniors in college. The music festival will run Aug. 2 to 4.

Kyle Vocelka buys some time for his vehicle Monday from a Chicago parking meter kiosk across the street from St. Alphonsus Catholic Church on Chicago’s North Side. Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office announced today the private company that runs the city’s parking spaces has agreed to stop charging for parking in Chicago’s neighborhoods on Sundays. for a two-year period that ended March 31 for a total of $8.9 million. The difference of about $20 million a year will total more than $1 billion over the life of the contract, Emanuel said. “I literally have millions of dollars of unpaid bills sitting on my desk that I have refused to pay,” the mayor said. “The company now knows that I’m a different type of mayor, this is a different administration and Chicago has a different way of

doing business.” The mayor said he will submit the proposal to the City Council, which must approve it to go into effect. Chicago residents said the tradeoff won’t help them much, but they don’t blame the current mayor. “It’s going to make things even more of a frustration,” said marketing executive Brian Hull, 30, envisioning feeding a meter during a late night party. “It’s good and bad,” said

“This was an extremely heinous and senseless crime that took the lives of this young mother and her children.” Anita Alvarez Cook County state’s attorney The others had been charged previously and also had been denied bond. Prosecutors said three of the men forced their way inside Stovall’s Harvey apartment and shot the victims while Griffin remained in the car. The men took a flat screen TV when they didn’t find the money or drugs they thought would be inside, according to prosecutors. Stovall was shot multiple

times as she sat on a living room couch. The 16-year-old, a son of Stovall’s boyfriend, was found shot once in the back of the head on the floor of the shower. Stovall’s 10-year-old daughter was shot in a bedroom. Stovall’s 4-year-old son, Nate Davis, was shot multiple times but survived. “This was an extremely heinous and senseless crime that took the lives of this young mother and her children,” Alvarez said in a statement. About 10 hours after the killings, the Harvey Police Department arrested the four defendants for an unrelated vehicle hijacking. Three of the four are in prison for that crime and the fourth is awaiting trial. The Cook County public defender’s office represented the men at their bond hearings.

And for all his tough talk, Emanuel admitted Monday this was the best he could do with a poorly negotiated deal that never should have been struck. It left Chica-

And, perhaps worst of all, the city has already spent all but a fraction of the $1.15 billion that was supposed to last decades. “We spent all of the money so we can’t buy ourselves out of this deal,” Emanuel said. The company, which leases the city’s 36,000 metered spaces, said it was pleased with the mayor’s proposal.

CHICAGO – The next phase of repair work on a major downtown Chicago bridge could cause some problems for commuters this week. Chicago Transit Authority officials said work on the historic Wells Street Bridge over the Chicago River will affect service through Sunday. It’s the second phase of work. The bridge was closed for nine days in March as well. CTA officials said there are alternative service plans, including additional bus service, rerouted trains and a shuttle train for the “temporary inconveniences” for riders. Workers are rebuilding parts of the bridge and replacing tracks. It is a busy junction that handles nearly 700 trains each week day. The bridge is nearly 100 years old.

• ADVENTURE Continued from page B1 have family or a boyfriend, it was a good time to go,” Forbes said. “I wanted to get out and explore, and the Peace Corps pays for everything pretty much.” To communicate with her family back home, she would head to a town about two-and-half hours away to go to an Internet cafe and use Facebook or Skype. She stayed with host families during her stay. “It’s so enriching to live with a host family,” Forbes said. “They help you out with your projects ... you learn more about the culture, practice the language all the time.” Her mother, Lisa Forbes, is used to her daughter traveling around the world.

To learn more about Christina Forbes’ time in Ecuador, visit her blog at http://govolcano. blogspot.com/.

“I knew she was going there to help the people, to learn and lead a better life,” Lisa Forbes said. “I knew she would come back with lots and lots of good stories. She’s always loved mountains. Since she was a little girl, she looked at a map and said, ‘I’m going to go here, here, here and here,’ It was fitting for her to go to a mountainous, beautiful area.” Christina Forbes said sometimes she faced skepticism from the locals, and she learned what it was like to be an outsider.

“It makes you sympathize for people who immigrate to the United States, have to deal with language [differences], have to deal with accents they can’t get rid of,” Forbes said. Forbes said however, the program is something she enjoyed. “If you’re in a time in your life when you don’t have too much going on ... and want to go on an adventure, and really get to know a culture, expand how you see the world, the Peace Corps is good for you,” Forbes said. Now she is on a short break before going to North Carolina for a wilderness first responder training course. After that, she’ll be going to Alaska for a job as a rock climbing, ziplining guide for the summer. “I want all the experiences I could get,” Forbes said.

Lions Club raised about $2,400 over the weekend • DONATION Continued from page B1 weekend’s event. “But this one got in.” Larson found the $100 bill when he was counting the money Sunday. In all, the

club raised about $2,400 over the weekend. Much of the money goes to charities that benefit people with sight and hearing problems, but the club also gives to the local food pantry, parks, youth sports and Christmas baskets.

Larson said the $100 donation is a gracious gift that will be put to good use. “You think that maybe it could send a kid with hearing or sight impairment to summer camp, which would be a nice thing to do,” he said.

McHenry firefighter and rescue diver Chris Smith demonstrates the construction of an x7ix recovery bag he invented at the McHenry Township Fire Protection District station in McHenry.

Underwater recovery Difficult job made easier for emergency divers By CHRIS CASHMAN ccashman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – When Chris Smith, 43, of McHenry isn’t working as a printer, he’s a firefighter/EMT/diver with the McHenry Township Fire Protection District. He’s been diving for a dozen years, and has been involved in numerous drowning recovery operations. Often, the search for bodies is conducted in zero visibility, in depths of 40 feet and more. “Sometimes it’s a search pattern by hand in the dark,” said Smith, who said he’s involved in one or two body recoveries a year. Smith said there are numerous body recovery systems, but “they have a lot of handles and a lot of zippers and take two divers to operate down there in the dark.” Smith said it takes a “good five to 10 minutes” to insert the body into most bags, depending on the conditions. “They’re clumsy,” he said of most body bags. So he developed the x7ix Underwater Body Bag. “I saw a tremendous need for improvement in recovery of drowning victims,” Smith said. “The body bags currently being used for such recoveries are cumbersome and difficult to use. Most if not all of our recoveries are done in water with limited to zero visibility. This puts the diver in a dangerous and stressful environment at a time when they need total awareness.” According to Smith, there are more than 3,000 drownings annually in the U.S. The x7ix Underwater Body Bag enables the diver to effectively and efficiently place the victim in the body bag in less than a minute unassisted.

Chamber benefits without participation The Western Association of Chamber Executives conducted a survey of nonchamber member businesses where 68 percent of respondents indicated they haven’t joined the chamber because they don’t have time to participate. There is definitely a preconceived idea that to get benefit from a chamber you have to be actively involved. The survey participants weren’t given a sales pitch as part of the study, so why do they think they have to participate? Here’s why: Participation, as defined by attending meetings and events, is so ingrained in the image of chambers of commerce that this was the number one reason for not joining. This is a problem for chambers of commerce (and other organizations) that needs to be addressed. This survey confirmed my own observations that the majority of our own chamber members do not participate in one thing. Now, we go about saying they should get involved because it’s good for business exposure, good for the community, whatever the case may be. Events do help fund the operations and goals of the chamber during the year, and most businesses probably should be involved, but don’t have to be involved to get a real

CHAMBER NEWS Gary Reece benefit from the chamber. Sandy Oslance, president of the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills chamber, and I were talking at the recent Entrepreneur U event and we discussed involvement by our members in activities and events. I told her that I actually stood in front of group of 30 new members recently and pointed out that they probably wouldn’t do a thing to be actively involved and if they did, well, that’s just icing on the cake. I then showed them a perfect example of how not being an active member (for 30 years no less) of the chamber actually benefited that business. According to the WACE, here’s what the best chambers do: Strengthen the local economy; represent business interests with governments; take political action and develop leaders; promote the community; and provide networking (relationship building) opportunities. I can only speak for our chamber, but that is the same road we’ve been heading down. We also have quanti-

fied the value of a basic membership and just that by itself – the lobby displays; do-business-with-a-member emphasis; direct referrals; business directory; publications; mobile app; memberships in local, regional state and national organizations – adds up to almost $4,200 in benefits alone. These are direct benefits without a member business doing a thing to actively participate in chamber events. In addition, chamber members have a better connection to the Crystal Lake community because they are connected to each other. These connections make you a more efficient business person. Your circle of influence is almost 1,000 businesses larger as a member of the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce. But probably the most important benefit is that many business owners simply don’t have the time to research all the issues that affect their business. A Crystal Lake chamber membership gives the freedom to focus on business, while we work with elected leaders to protect business interests.

Resilient consumers keep spending By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – This year got off to a sour start for U.S. workers: Their pay, already gasping to keep pace with inflation, was suddenly shrunk by a Social Security tax increase. Which raised a worrisome question: Would consumers stop spending and further slow the economy? Nope. Not yet, anyway. On Friday, the government said consumers spent 3.2 percent more on an annual basis in the January-March quarter than in the previous quarter – the biggest jump in two years. And in a report Monday, the government said consumers increased their spending in each month, by 0.2 percent in March, 0.7 percent in February and 0.3 percent in January. The spending increases highlighted a broader improvement in Americans’ financial health that is blunting the impact of the tax increase and raising hopes for more sustainable growth. Consumers have shed debt. Gasoline has gotten cheaper. Rising home values and record stock prices have restored household wealth to its pre-recession high. And employers are steadily adding jobs, which means more people have money to spend. “No one should write off the consumer simply because of the 2 percentage-point increase in payroll taxes,” says Bernard Baumohl, chief economist at the Economic

Outlook Group. “Overall household finances are in the best shape in more than five years.” Spending weakened toward the end of the January-March quarter. Spending at retailers fell in March by 0.4 percent, the worst showing in nine months. And more spending on utilities accounted for up to one-fourth of the increase in consumer spending in the January-March quarter, according to JPMorgan Chase economist Michael Feroli, because of colder weather. Higher spending on utilities isn’t a barometer of consumer confidence the way spending on household goods, such as new appliances or furniture, would be. Americans also saved less in the first quarter, lowering the savings rate to 2.6 percent from 3.9 percent in 2012. Economists say that was likely a temporary response to the higher Social Security tax, and most expect the savings rate to rise back toward last year’s level. That could limit spending. But several longer-term trends are likely to push in the other direction, economists say, and help sustain consumer spending. Among those trends: • WEALTH IS UP: Home prices rose more than 10 percent in the 12 months that ended in February. And both the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 stock indexes reached record highs in the first quarter. As a result, Americans have recov-

ered the $16 trillion in wealth that was wiped out by the Great Recession. Economists estimate that each dollar of additional wealth adds roughly 3 cents to spending. That means last year’s $5.5 trillion run-up in wealth could spur about $165 billion in additional consumer spending this year. That’s much more than the $120 billion cost of the higher Social Security taxes. “The resilience in spending, despite increased taxes, suggests that rising household wealth is providing an offset” to higher taxes and spending cuts, says James Marple, an economist at TD Bank. • DEBT IS DOWN: Household debt now equals 102 percent of after-tax income, down from a peak of 126 percent in 2007. That’s almost back to its long-term trend, according to economists at Deutsche Bank. And households are paying less interest on their debts, largely because of the Federal Reserve’s efforts to keep borrowing rates at record lows. The percentage of after-tax income that Americans spent on interest and debt payments dropped to 10.4 percent in the October-December quarter last year. That’s the lowest such figure in the 32 years that the Federal Reserve has tracked the data. • JOBS ARE UP: Employers have added an average of 188,000 jobs a month in the past six months, up from 130,000 in the previous six. Job gains slowed in March to only 88,000. But most economists expect at least a modest

rebound in coming months. And layoffs sank to a record low in January. Fewer layoffs tend to make people feel more secure in their jobs and more willing to spend. • GAS PRICES ARE DOWN: Gasoline prices have fallen in the past year and are likely to stay low. Nationwide, the average price of a gallon of gas has dropped 28 cents since this year’s peak of $3.79 on Feb. 27. Analysts expect gas to drop an additional 20 cents over the next two months. Each 10 cent drop over a full year translates into roughly $13 billion in savings for consumers. • LOAN COSTS ARE DOWN: Lower interest rates have enabled millions of Americans to save money by refinancing their mortgages. Mortgage giant Freddie Mac estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2012, homeowners who refinanced cut their interest rate by one-third, the biggest reduction in 27 years the agency has tracked the data. On a $200,000 loan, that means $3,600 in savings over the next 12 months. Some economists note that the Social Security tax cut didn’t spur much more spending when it first took effect at the start of 2011. The tax cut gave someone earning $50,000 about $1,000 more to spend each year. A household with two high-paid workers had up to $4,500 more. Despite the tax cut, Baumohl notes that consumer spending rose only 2.5 percent in 2011 and 1.9 percent in 2012.

Chrysler profit falls 65 percent The Associated Press

McHenry firefighter and rescue diver Chris Smith folds an x7ix recovery bag for storage at the McHenry Township Fire Protection District station in McHenry.

• RECOVERY Continued from page B6 Smith said the body bag is made of a self-draining material that allows the water to drain out of the bag while providing a discreet removal of the victim with protection from public view. “My idea is to get the diver in and out of the water as quickly and safely as possible,” Smith said. He said there is a $99 disposable version, and a $159 reusable model for training purposes. He said the x7ix, which is patent pending,

has been getting a lot of exposure, and interest. “It’s very new. It has been well received by the diving community,” Smith said. “Numerous dive teams are inquiring about it.” About five years ago, Smith developed the Penquin Ice Ladder, which attaches to ice, piers and boats, making it easier for divers to exit the water. “Being a diver myself, I will continue to develop products to make our difficult job easier,” Smith said.

DETROIT – Chrysler’s first-quarter profit tumbled 65 percent as shipments of cars and trucks fell while it prepared to launch several key new vehicles. The Auburn Hills, Mich., company said Monday that it earned $166 million in the January-March quarter, compared with $473 million a year ago. Revenue fell 6 percent to $15.4 billion. Chrysler, which is majority-owned by Italy’s Fiat SpA, said worldwide vehicle shipments fell 6 percent during the quarter to 574,000. Chrysler, like other automakers, books revenue when it ships vehicles to dealerships. The company attributed the decline mainly to the end of production of the aging Jeep Liberty midsize SUV at a factory in Toledo, Ohio, last year. That factory is being prepped to build the Liberty’s replacement, the all-new Jeep Cherokee, starting in the second quarter. Chrysler shipped 31,000 fewer Liberty models than it did a year ago, which caused most of the drop. Also, factories that build

the 2014 Grand Cherokee large SUV and the 2013 Ram Heavy Duty pickup truck were slowed by the changeover to the freshened models, the company said. And international shipments also were down due to the faltering economy in Europe and import restrictions in Latin America, Chrysler said. Automakers frequently see shipments and sales drop as they retool factories for updated models. Chrysler expects profit to improve in the second half of the year when dealers are fully stocked with the new vehicles. The company kept its guidance of $2.2 billion in net income, revenue between $72 billion and $75 billion and shipments of 2.6 million to 2.7 million vehicles. Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat, told analysts Tuesday that the quarter’s results were “not so glorious.” He said the company still expects to meet its guidance for the full year with a stronger second half. But he said Chrysler must flawlessly execute the Cherokee launch. “There’s not a guy in this house who thinks it’s going

to be a walk in the park,” he said. He said it was unfortunate that Chrysler reported a poor quarter just after Ford Motor Co. released strong earnings. Ford’s first-quarter profit rose 15 percent to $1.6 billion as record earnings in North America tempered big losses in Europe. Ford’s sales were up 10 percent worldwide. “To be perfectly honest, I’m envious,” Marchionne said. The 2014 Grand Cherokee went on sale last month, while the 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks went on sale starting in January. Chrysler expects to begin selling the Cherokee sometime in the third quarter. Fiat was given management control of Chrysler in 2009 when the troubled company nearly ran out of cash and had to be rescued by a U.S. government bailout. Now, with the economic troubles in Europe, Chrysler is providing a financial lifeline to Fiat, which owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler. Chrysler finished the first quarter with $11.9 billion in cash, compared with $11.6 billion at the end of 2012.

8IN BRIEF Pending home sales reach three-year high WASHINGTON – The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in March to the highest level in three years, pointing to higher sales this spring. The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales rose 1.5 percent to 105.7. That’s the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer’s tax credit boosted sales. It’s also above February’s reading of 104.1. U.S. builders started work on more than 1 million homes at an annual rate in March. That’s the first time the pace has topped that threshold in nearly five years.

Virgin Galactic makes first powered flight MOJAVE, Calif. – A spaceship bankrolled by British tycoon Sir Richard Branson made its first powered flight Monday in a test that moves Virgin Galactic toward its goal of flying into space later this year. While SpaceShipTwo did not break out of the atmosphere during the test flight, it marked a significant milestone for Virgin Galactic, which intends to take passengers on suborbital joyrides. During the early morning flight, SpaceShipTwo, strapped beneath a twinfuselage jet, took off from an airport runway in the Mojave Desert north of Los Angeles. The jet released SpaceShipTwo, which ignited its engine for 16 seconds, then glided to a safe landing. Until now, SpaceShipTwo has only performed unpowered glide flights. Several powered flights are planned this summer, culminating with a dash into space targeted toward the end of the year.

JC Penney to get $1.75B in financing PLANO, Texas – J.C. Penney on Monday confirmed that Goldman Sachs will provide it with $1.75 billion in financing. The five-year senior secured term loan can be used to fund the company’s operations as well as pay off some of its debt. It will be secured by real estate, as well as an interest the company’s other assets and some of its subsidiaries. J.C. Penney has been burning through cash. Earlier this month, it said it would draw $850 million from its $1.85 billion revolving credit line to pay for replenishing inventory, particularly for its overhauled home area.

Aldean files for divorce THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Tuesday, April 30, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Jason Aldean has filed for divorce. The country music star filed the complaint for divorce against his wife, Jessica, in Williamson County, Tenn., citing irreconcilable differences. The two met in high school and have been married since August 2001. “This is a really tough time for my entire family,” Aldean said in a statement Monday. Aldean’s publicist confirmed last week the couple had separated. The filing comes six months after Aldean was photographed while appearing to kiss former “American Idol” contestant Brittany Kerr in a Los Angeles bar. Aldean later apologized to fans on Twitter for acting inappropriately.

Opening statements begin Concert giant AEG Live failed in its duty to properly investigate the doctor who treated Michael Jackson because it was concerned about its own fortunes, an attorney for the singer’s mother told a jury Monday morning. “His stirring voice, his musical genius, his creativity and his generosity and his huge heart was extinguished forever,” attorney Brian Panish said in opening statements of a civil lawsuit filed over Jackson’s June 2009 death. Katherine Jackson is suing AEG claiming it failed to properly investigate the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter over Jackson’s death. “You’re going to hear the whole story about what happened in the death of Michael Jackson,” Panish said. Panish made his remarks in an opening presentation filled with slides detailing the case against AEG, which was promoting Jackson’s planned comeback concerts, “This Is It.” Jackson’s mother, brother Randy and sister Rebbie sat in the front row of the courtroom as Panish detailed aspects of Jackson’s life. Millions, and possibly billions, of dollars are at stake. A jury of six men and six women will determine any damage award. Katherine Jackson sued the company in September 2010, claiming it failed to properly investigate former physician Conrad Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson’s tour doctor. She is also suing on behalf of her son’s three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket. AEG denies it hired Murray, and its attorneys have said they could not have foreseen the circumstances that led to Jackson’s death at age 50. A jury convicted Murray of giving Jackson a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol in 2011.

NBA PLAYOFFS: NETS 110, BULLS 91

Not enough rebounding for Bulls Brooklyn cuts Hinrich-less Bulls’ lead to 3-2 By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Kirk Hinrich was missing. So was the Bulls’ usual rebounding and defense. Tom Thibodeau is used to being without key players, but counts on the Bulls having the other skills. “He’s not out there, but

Game 6 vs. Brooklyn, 7 p.m. Thursday, CSN, AM-1000 I think it was a three-point game with seven minutes to go. We’ve got to find a way to get it done,” the Bulls coach said. “So we didn’t play our best, the rebounding was a big problem and defensively we’ve got to get it together.” Brook Lopez had 28 points and 10 rebounds, Deron Williams added 23 points and

10 assists, and the Nets beat the Bulls, 110-91, on Monday night, cutting the Bulls’ lead to 3-2 in their first-round playoff series. Recovering from a collapse two days earlier that sent them home on the brink of elimination instead of tied, the Nets battered the Bulls on the boards and forced them into being the team that wilted down the stretch. “We came out very aggressive, as we have the past few games. I think the difference was just we sustained it for essentially a full 48 minutes

tonight,” Lopez said. Andray Blatche scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter and Gerald Wallace had consecutive baskets in the finishing surge as the Nets finally pulled away in a game they led most of the way, but never by too much. Two days after rallying for a 142-134 triple-overtime victory, the Bulls were outscored 15-1 at the finish and failed to set up a second-round series with Miami. Instead they will host Game 6 on Thursday.

McLean’s 2-run homer ends Gators’ skid against Trojans By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com CARY – Sam McLean had been close before and wasn’t convinced the contact she made with a high fastball had a chance at getting the job done. But when a gust of wind came up “just in time” and got a hold of the Crystal Lake South junior short-

stop’s fly ball to dead centerfield Monday afternoon, McLean’s perspective quickly changed. Just like that, so did the Gators’ four-year losing streak against rival CaryGrove. McLean’s two-run home run with two outs in the fifth inning erased a one-run deficit before Hailee Massie took care of the rest from the circle, giving South a 2-1 Fox

Valley Conference Valley Division win. The victory marked the Gators’ first over the Trojans since 2009. “It feels really good to be able to beat them,” McLean said. “We haven’t beat them in so long. So it was good to get out there, get after it and just have everyone be so focused.”

“Coming in, I knew it was going to be really low scoring,” Weber said. “I knew that their defense is their strong point, and I knew that we would have to score at least six goals for us to win because I knew we could hold them under 10.” The game totaled only nine goals, which is relatively low scoring for the sport. Only twice before Monday has C-G (6-2) allowed fewer than seven goals, and it had scored at least five in every game before Monday. It was evident from the start, though, that the defense would be stressed.

CHICAGO – Before donning his gear and skating directly into the playoff spotlight, Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford practiced one more time Monday at the United Center. Teammates peppered Crawford with hundreds of shots. They fired slap shots from the blue line, wrist shots from bad angles and one-timers from point-blank range. Everything was fine until a blast from Patrick Sharp caught Crawford square in the mask. Uh oh. Crawford kneeled forward on the ice and stayed down for a few seconds that seemed to take forever. Nearby, a coach blew a whistle, signaling for the next shooter to wait. If I needed a reminder of Crawford’s importance to the Hawks, this was the moment. “I’m a goalie,” Crawford said with a shrug afterward. “I take those shots once in awhile.” Yes, fine, but not on the eve of what everyone hopes will be a Stanley Cup title run. Shortly after absorbing Sharp’s shot, Crawford climbed to his skates, repositioned his mask, returned to the crease and brushed aside a hard slap shot by Brent Seabrook. He stopped plenty more shots for the next half-hour or so until practice had finished. Tuesday marks the real deal. The top-seeded Hawks will begin their playoff schedule when they host the No. 8 seed Minnesota Wild in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. The Hawks went 2-0-1 against the Wild during the regular season on their way to winning the Presidents’ Trophy.

GIRLS ROUNDUP

PR’s Stevens perfect in win Strikes out 14 in 1-0 victory over Huntley NORTHWEST HERALD

Great week: McHenry had the best week of any Fox Valley Conference team with five wins to sit a half game behind Huntley in the FVC Valley Division with Huntley at 10-2. The Warriors have won seven consecutive games and are 16-6 overall. Devon Gehrke played a big role with two pitching victories – 2-1 over Crystal Lake Central on Monday and 6-5 over Crystal Lake South on Saturday – as well as some big hits. Still ripping: Huntley (17-2) had its lowest run output of the season in a 3-2 loss Thursday to Crystal Lake South and its ace Tyler Hall. The Red Raiders still are scoring at a pace of 10.4 runs a game with 190 runs this season. Shutting them down: Marian Central’s Edgar Ross turned in one of the season’s best pitching performances of the area with a 1-0 no-hitter against Wheaton Academy on April 22. Ross struck out 13 and walked one. Prairie Ridge left-hander Mike Reitcheck fanned nine, walked one and allowed five hits to beat Crystal Lake Central, 7-1, on Friday. Woodstock’s Alex Ferguson made it easy on his fielders with 14 strikeouts Friday in a 5-0 win against Woodstock North. Ferguson issued zero walks and allowed two hits. Teacher Appreciation Day: Hampshire coach John Sarna started a tradition as an assistant coach at Jacobs that he has carried over to the Whip-Purs, that of having a Teacher Appreciation Day each season. Each player chooses a teacher to wear his jersey and they are introduced together before the game. Hampshire will have its day at 4:30 p.m. May 7 when the Whips host Woodstock in an FVC Fox Division game.

After giving up a home run as her only hit the last time she faced Huntley, Prairie Ridge’s Kirsten Stevens wasn’t taking any chances Monday. Stevens struck out 14 in a perfect game, and the Wolves pushed across a run in the top of the seventh inning to get the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division win in Huntley. Prairie Ridge softball coach Mike Buck said the defense of third baseman Clare Boman was critical in getting the perfect game. Boman knocked down several line drives and made a barehanded scoop to get a runner at first. “[Stevens has] been pitching well all year,” Buck said. “In order for a pitcher to pitch a perfect game, there’s got to be some great defensive plays.” Also for the Wolves (142, 4-1 FVC Valley), Maddie Drain went 2 of 3. Haley Spannraft did not give up an

within one again. It got interesting in the fourth quarter as Taylor scored his third goal to tie the score at 3. He got the ball on the far edge of the field and rushed the net and was able to score despite three defenders shoving and hacking at him. “It was good we had some

good shots, but really disappointing to come up short,” Taylor said. “Both defenses were going really hard and we knew that their defense was really good coming in and we stepped up and made sure ours was good, too.” Tied late, the Trojans had a couple opportunities to take

their first lead, but couldn’t convert and ended up allowing three quick goals at the end of the fourth to ice the game. “We are the fifth-ranked team (in the state) now, and it’s a good game because the kids know what kind of skill they have against a team like this,” Weber said.

named coach By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Marengo athletic director Chad Olson developed great respect for the job Will Benson did while coaching boys basketball at Harvard in the 2010 through 2012 seasons. “I was thoroughly impressed with him all the time,” Olson said. “I was impressed with how they practiced and how he prepared himself and his team for the games. What stood out when we interviewed people was how thorough and prepared he was.” Benson, 30, was named Marengo’s head boys basketball coach at District 154’s school board meeting Monday night. He was 26-58 in his three seaWill Benson sons at Harvard. “I really wanted to be a head coach again, and I’m truly thankful the administration at Marengo gave me that chance,” Benson said. “This felt like a good opportunity.” Benson coached the Jacobs sophomore team this season on Jim Hinkle’s staff. He applied for the Jacobs job and was interviewing for both that and Marengo’s job near the same time. He replaces Dave Pettit, who was 25-61 in three seasons as coach. “I told Chad as this was going on that I didn’t know what was going to happen at Jacobs,” said Benson, a 2001 Crystal Lake South graduate. “If I didn’t get it, I wasn’t going to be in the tank about it. I could see myself happy and a good fit at either place. I’m excited to get going.” The hiring culminates a whirlwind five weeks for Benson, whose wife Sarah gave birth to their second child, son Brady, on March 25. Their daughter Grace is 5. Marengo did not have a physical education teaching position, so Benson again will be teaching at Harvard.

Massie allows only 2 hits • SOFTBALL Continued from page C1 That started with Massie. Massie, who suffered a 2-1 loss to the Trojans on Saturday, allowed only two hits – one of which came in the first inning when C-G (13-2, 4-1 FVC Valley) loaded the bases with one out. But Massie struck out the next two hitters she faced, escaping unscathed. “Hailee pitched lights out today,” South coach Scott Busam said. The Trojans took a 1-0 lead in the third on Jamie Deering’s RBI single. The lead held up behind C-G pitcher Lauren Stanley, who struck out 10 – including two that came just before McLean delivered her game-winning home run in the fifth. Stanley put together her second solid outing after striking out 11 Saturday against South. “There was just one mistake pitch and they capitalized on it,” C-G coach Tammy Olson said. South (10-4, 2-3 Valley) threatened to add to its lead in the sixth and loaded the bases before Stanley pitched out of the jam with an inning-ending flyout. But the Trojans couldn’t come up with the timely hit as Massie retired the final six batters she faced to preserve the win. And after coming so close Saturday, South players celebrated the end of their long drought against the Trojans. The win gave Busam reason to breathe a bit easier after struggling early in the season to get things to come together. “Until we learn to hit a little bit better, these are the types of games we’re going to be in,” he said. “I think we can win them. It’s a good feeling. It’s a huge win for our team.”

CUBS 5, PADRES 3

Barney, Ransom push Cubs to win Next

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Darwin Barney and Cody Ransom each drove in two runs and the Cubs defeated the San Diego Padres, 5-3, on Monday. Barney hit a pair of RBI doubles as he went 2-for-3 and Ransom went 2-for-4 with a home run. Both players also made nice defensive plays in the seventh with men in scoring position to preserve the Cubs’ lead. Kevin Gregg got the final out of the eighth with men on second and third and worked a perfect ninth to get his fourth save. After a 5-13 start to the season, the Cubs have won five of seven. San Diego’s Clayton Richard (0-3) gave up five runs and seven hits, including two home runs, in 52/3 innings. Everth Cabrera went 3 for 4 and scored two runs. Tied at 3 in the sixth, Ransom hit a two-out RBI single to score Alfonso Soriano and Barney followed with an RBI double to drive in Ransom and make it 5-3. Michael Bowden (1-1) got the win in relief of Jeff Samardzija, who allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. He struck out eight and walked four. The bullpen’s turnaround has been one of the primary reasons for the Cubs’ improvement. The relievers have a 1.35 ERA in their past 12 games since April 18. Barney made a diving stop of a ball headed for right field to rob Chase Headley of an RBI hit in the seventh with men on first and second. Ransom ended a bases-loaded threat later in the inning with a running, barehanded pick and throw to get Yonder Alonso at first. Trailing 1-0, Scott Hairston and Ransom each hit solo homers in the second to give the

Cubs a 2-1 lead. Barney added an RBI double to score Welington Castillo in the fourth to make it 3-1. The Padres rallied in the fifth. They loaded the bases with two outs on a single by Cabrera and walks to Carlos Quentin and Chris Denorfia. Alonso hit a two-run single to tie the game at 3-3. Cabrera opened up the scoring. Cabrera walked to lead off the game, advanced to second on a single and scored after a pair of wild pitches by Samardzija, the second of which came on a Quentin strikeout.

fend fairly well and then you give a team a second and a third crack at it, it’s hard to win like that.” Only eight NBA teams have overcome a 3-1 deficit, but the Nets remained confident after Saturday’s collapse, feeling they had outplayed the Bulls for long stretches during the series. They have led by double digits in four of the five games. “I believed that we would respond,” Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said. “We’ve bounced back all year too well, and as disheartening a loss as that was on Saturday, there’s still been enough good minutes in this series. Neither of us are getting away from each other.” But they need two more

wins against a Bulls franchise that is 12-0 all-time when holding a 3-1 lead. “We feel like we’re the better team,” Wallace said. “We’ve just got to play a 48-minute game completely and stay in attack mode.” Robinson scored 29 of his 34 points after the third quarter Saturday in a game the Nets led by 14 late in regulation. Coming off his big game and agitating to opposing fans even when he’s struggling, Robinson was loudly booed during introductions, and each time he touched the ball early on. He made a jumper with 4:17 remaining to cut Brooklyn’s lead to 95-90, but there would be no charge this time.

“It was just a lot of mental mistakes. A lot of mental mistakes,” Bulls center Joakim Noah said. “I feel like we had our chances. We beat ourselves. They played well. You’ve got to give credit when credit is due and now it’s on us to come back and be ready for Game 6.” If the Nets win that one, they would host Game 7 on Saturday. Nate Robinson had 20 points and eight assists starting in place of point guard Hinrich, who bruised his left calf in Saturday’s game and was in a walking boot Monday morning.

“For us, I knew it was going to be tough; it was going to be a challenge,” Robinson said. “At the same time, we’ve been here before playing with a guy short. It’s something we’ve got to do. We’ve just got to muster something and bring that energy and continue to play like we’ve Jimmy Butler been playing.” Jimmy Butler scored 18 points for the Bulls, who were outrebounded 44-33 and gave up 24 second-chance points. Brooklyn shot 50 percent from the field. “That’s the difference in the game, the rebounding,” Thibodeau said. “If you de-

8SPORTS SHORTS Bass fishing state put on hold for high waters The IHSA Bass Fishing State Tournament, scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Carlyle Lake in Carlyle has been postponed because of dangerous water levels on the lake this spring. The IHSA board of directors discussed the situation with the Army Corps of Engineers who oversee Carlyle Lake. IHSA staff members visited the lake Sunday. Jacobs and Huntley are the two local schools with teams that qualified for state.

Tuesday, April 30, 2013 • Page C5

FIVE-DAY PLANNER “We could not hold the tournament as scheduled on May 3rd and 4th due to safety concerns,” IHSA associate director and bass fishing administrator Kurt Gibson said. “We want to make a decision on the new state final date as soon as possible so that Carlyle and the qualifying schools can plan accordingly. Yet, we also need to exercise a certain level of patience, as our colleagues in Carlyle predict and monitor how the lake will drain over the coming days.” The IHSA postponed the tournament in 2011 when the Carlyle area was hit

with storms that produced 10 inches of rain.

MCC baseball team sweeps Rock Valley The McHenry County College baseball team swept a doubleheader against Rock Valley at Crystal Lake. The Scots (34-9) took Game one, 9-1 and Game two, 6-5. Corey Peterson allowed four hits with eight strikeout for a complete game win in the first game. James Quick went 2 for 4 with a run scored, a him run, and drove in three runs, including the game-winning run that scored Nick Richter in the

TEAM

bottom seventh.

Illini’s Assembly Hall gets renamed CHAMPAIGN – The University of Illinois has sold the naming rights for Assembly Hall to State Farm Insurance Co. In a 30-year, $60 million agreement announced Monday, the home of the university’s basketball teams will be known immediately as State Farm Center.

Fit health into a busy life According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the overall quality of the American diet gets a failing grade. According to the Healthy Eating Index, adults 19 and older score 50 out of 100 on the quality of their diets. Hectic lifestyles may play a role in this failing grade, and registered dietitian and best-selling author Dave Grotto has a few tips to maintain proper nutrition even when time is tight. n Eat nutrient-filled meals. Set aside five minutes to pack a healthy lunch before you head to work each day. Prepare meals such as a salad with grilled chicken or a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread – healthy options that provide a combination of protein and fiber to give you sustained energy throughout the day. n Take your vitamins. In addition to proper food choices, quality dietary supplements can be helpful to fill nutrient gaps. n Stay active and enjoy the sunshine. Even if it is minimal, find time to move each day while you’re at work; take the stairs instead of the elevator or go for a 10-minute walk around the block. An added benefit of being outdoors, even for a short amount of time, is the exposure to sunlight, which helps skin produce vitamin D3.

Wearable heart rate monitors One of the biggest trends in fitness technology is wearable monitoring devices. They come in the form of bracelets or clips and go beyond classic heart rate monitors. Meant to be worn at all times, these devices can measure movement, calories burned, heart rate, sleep patterns, skin temperature and even blood oxygen levels. Most also sync with mobile apps to help you track these vital statistics over time. Some of the most popular wearable fitness devices include the Nike+ Fuel Band, Core 2 from Body Media, Fit Bit Flex and Jawbone UP.

Understanding autism April devoted to helping understand the signs Each April for the past four decades, National Autism Awareness Month has elevated awareness among the children, parents and friends affected by autism spectrum disorders. One in 86 children in the U.S. is affected by autism, Asperger’s or Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS), estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, the CDC reports one in 31 boys were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders while one in 143 girls were diagnosed. Parents tend to overlook the early signs of autism spectrum disorders, assuming their child is “just going through a phase” or “having an off day.” It is important that parents differentiate these assumptions from the symptoms, which can present in many different forms. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning here can be great variation in the way it affects people. Each child on the autism spectrum possesses unique abilities, symptoms and challenges, according to autism expert Dr. Willis Holloway. However, many children on the spectrum often share common core symptoms. These include: n Impaired social interactions, such as reluctance to join group activities at school, not being aware of the needs of others or inability to understand humor. n Impaired communication, such as delay in language development, unusual repetition of words and phrases spoken by others or on television, or major difficulty sustaining a conversation. n Restricted interests, repetitive behaviors and stereotyped mannerisms, such as clapping, finger flicking, rocking, dipping and swaying, fascination with parts of an object or preoccupation with one narrow interest such as dates or numbers. While medications are available One in 88 children in the U.S. is affected by autism or related issues, the CDC says. for some common behavioral symptoms like irritability or anxiety, there are no FDA-approved drugs to treat any of the core symptoms For more information of these conditions. – Brandpoint

Teaching your kids about autism Though it can be tough to know where to start, there are many ways to help kids with autism spectrum disorder in your community, and to help your child be friends with a classmate or neighbor with ASD. Rest assured that reaching out is the right thing to do; friendships with typically developing children can be invaluable to kids with ASD – and typical kids will learn from the friendship, too. Think inclusion: Children with autism are, first and foremost, children. “It’s more natural to include them from the start,” says Ann

Cole, community relations director of Upstate New York Families for Effective Autism Treatment and the mother of two teenagers with ASD. It’s possible for kids on the spectrum to form very real friendships with their peers. You may be surprised at how much common ground your child shares with her classmate; they may both love Legos, science, video games or movies. Often children with autism want desperately to play with other kids, but may not be able to articulate this desire.

Ask the child’s parents for information: Don’t feel awkward about this; the parents will probably be grateful that you asked. Because each child with ASD is so unique, going straight to the source for information is a great idea – what does their child like to do? Are there certain things that upset the child? If you are concerned about behavior issues, this is where you will find out. To help a child with autism fit into a group of typical kids, “be a detective,” says Cole. “Figure out what strengths that

child has, and try building an activity around that.” Be patient: Depending on the child, he or she may have comprehension problems, may need to be reminded to take turns or might need extra help when trying a new activity. Many kids with autism have “sensory issues” that make everyday sounds, sights and experiences unpleasant or even painful. ASD kids may also have trouble reading facial expressions, body language or the emotions of others.

Push for autism awareness training in schools: Often, Cole says, kids seem to enjoy disability awareness training, “and there’s not a school that couldn’t use it.” Contact your local autism organization, which should be able to assist you.

Performance-enhancing drugs are in classrooms If a person develops a bacterial pneumonia, it makes sense to treat him or her with an antibiotic. This is the proper use of a medication. There are many other examples, such as insulin to treat diabetes or drugs to treat high blood pressure. However, today, there are increasing incidences where drugs are given to healthy individuals for perhaps questionable reasons. For example, some children who are naturally short in stature, mainly because their parents are short, are given growth hormone so they might grow another 2 inches. Growth

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold hormone has been used for a long time to treat children who lack growth hormone, usually without any serious side effects. A recent article discussed adolescents and college students taking stimulant medications, such as Ritalin, Adderal and Concerta, to improve their academic performance. At times, they take them before an examination. These are the same drugs

used to treat youngsters with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Where do the students get these drugs? Occasionally, a doctor will prescribe them, but frequently they get them from friends who are taking the stimulant medications to treat their ADHD. It has become such an issue the American Academy of Neurology has decried this practice. The academy states the long-term health effects of taking these drugs have, as yet, not been established. The academy also believes these youngsters should develop their intellectual skills and

decision-making abilities without the aid of medications. Is taking drugs in an attempt to do better academically analogous to athletes taking steroids so they can perform better in their sport? There is no question today’s youth are under pressure to get good grades so they can get into good colleges. Once in college, the need for academic achievement continues to be accepted to medical or law schools or other graduate schools. Therefore, performanceenhancing drugs are not only used by athletes, but also by

students who are trying to get ahead of their peers. Does this result in a level playing field if one group takes medications and another one does not – no matter whether the playing field is the classroom or the baseball field?

Tips can help clear your digital clutter By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press

Photo provided

Dr. Rod Block works with an elephant, adjusting its pelvis at the Meadowbrook Animal Sanctuary and Haven in Perris, Calif. “You have to be very much in tune with the being of the animal you are working with,” said Dr. Block, who limits his work these days to house calls throughout Southern California, where he works with several veterinarians.

Animal adjustments A spine is all that is needed to benefit from chiropractic care By SUE MANNING The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Thirty years ago, Dr. Gene Giggleman was a veterinarian who thought chiropractors were quacks. Since then, he said he’s straightened out thousands of dogs and cats, not to mention the occasional snake, hamster, gerbil and guinea pig. “And I know people who have adjusted pigs, goats and rodeo bulls,” said Giggleman, a professor at Parker University in Dallas, which specializes in chiropractic care. In Southern California, Dr. Rod Block has tended to an elephant, a paralyzed iguana, a turkey, pigs, llamas and countless dogs and horses. “You have to be very much in tune with the being of the animal you are working with,” said Block, who limits his work these days to house calls throughout Southern California, where he works with several veterinarians. “A chiropractor promotes the flow of energy within the body. Anywhere there is an obstruction or blockage of energy due to subluxation or a dysfunctional group of muscles, what the chiropractor does is normalize that

function,” Block said. Giggleman spends most of his time teaching but still sees patients one day a week. Ninety percent of his patients need chiropractic care, and 10 percent need traditional care, he said. “I’m not an extremist either way. I am for whatever fixes your dog,” he said. The vets say any human or animal with a spine-related problem can benefit from an “adjustment.” Unlike Giggleman, who started as a veterinarian, Block spent 30 years as a human chiropractor before he switched gears 20 years ago and became certified by the Bluejacket, Okla.-based American Veterinary Chiropractic Association. Classes take about a year of extra study, Block said. The AVCA has certified more than 1,000 veterinarians or chiropractors since 1989, said Leslie Means, executive director of the group. There are 560 active members today, and they have to be recertified every three years. However, the certificates are not licenses to practice medicine. In states such as Nevada and Oklahoma, getting a certificate is the only way you can set up shop. But

states such as California and Texas require those with certificates to work under the supervision of a veterinarian. As a result, in many states, veterinarians and animal chiropractors work out of the same offices. They can make referrals to one another and even merge their telephone and online listings. “We are more concerned about the quality than the quantity of life,” Block said. One of his patients is a 38-year-old horse, owned by a veterinary professor. “He’s not rideable, but he’s mobile. He’s off steroids and free to roam around and enjoy the remainder of his life relatively pain-free,” Block said. The horse doesn’t get top billing in his new book though. “Like Chiropractic for Elephants” describes how he treated a gimpy elephant at a private sanctuary, how her herd accepted him and how she used body language to help him find her pain. Through the book, Block said he hoped “to demystify chiropractic. People think that it’s dangerous and that it’s quackery. I really want to illuminate the differences between what allopathic (mainstream) veterinary medical care does and what

chiropractic does and how the two integrate well even though they are at opposite ends of the pole. “Above all, I want people to become more aware of the relationships they have with their animals, which I think is evolving,” he said. The story of Giggleman’s first chiropractic success is included in “Chicken Soup for the Chiropractic Soul.” Sparky, a cocker spaniel, appeared to be having seizures, was on three drugs from three different vets and was going to be euthanized if Giggleman couldn’t help him. “I examined the dog. Although I was a fledgling, I could tell the dog’s neck was out of whack or subluxated,” he said. “When I reached down and petted the dog, it hurt him so bad, he flipped over and started shaking.” Giggleman adjusted Sparky, and the dog lived another six years without seizures, he said. On the spot, that made a convert out of Giggleman. He went on to co-found the Parker University animal chiropractic program. “Chiropractic care is a drugless, non-surgical approach to treating animals,” Giggleman said.

Ask friends how many emails they have sitting in their inbox or how many photos are saved to their laptop, and don’t be surprised if the numbers tally in the thousands. Some of us have a difficult time knowing how to organize all of this digital information, from emails and documents to uploaded photos and downloaded songs. We hoard because we can: Today’s computer memory can handle it, and our email providers offer seemingly infinite storage space. Take Peggy Stempson, associate pastor at Pierre First United Methodist Church in Pierre, S.D., who hangs onto at least 4,000 emails, many of them part of long conversations with friends going back five years or more. “They spark memories, and connect me with people and help me contact them,” said Stempson, 30. “It’s kind of like a diary.” All of this digital detritus is not a problem unless it interferes with your life, work or happiness, said Tim Kasser, a psychology professor at Knox College in Galesburg. “If this acquisition of ‘e’ stuff ends up leading to a lifestyle that forces you to have less time for your family, or less time to draw or play music or run around in a park, or less time to be involved in your community, then I would say that to me is a problem,” Kasser said. “I can see how that happens with electronic stuff.” Thank goodness there are experts to help extend spring cleaning to the digital realm. Start the de-cluttering process slowly, advises Danielle Claro, editor-at-large at “Real Simple” magazine. Allison Carter of Atlanta gets paid to help people find their way through the digital morass. She helps clients streamline emails, organize finances, manage documents and photos, and back it all up. “The digital world, it’s about finding things, making your life more efficient, enjoying things, rather than having them only live in the darkness of your hard drive,” said Carter, whose business is called Digital Life Organizing. Controlling the email

“The digital world, it’s about finding things, making your life more efficient, enjoying things, rather than having them only live in the darkness of your hard drive.” Allison Carter Digital Life Organizing torrent is often the most daunting challenge, she said. “I like my active to-do’s and ongoing projects to be in my inbox until I’ve tackled them,” said Carter, but that’s all that should be there. For important emails, she recommends setting up action reminders, and recommends Google’s free online calendar. Others include Zoho Calendar and the Cozi Family Organizer, which also are free. Gmail users can retrieve unread emails by typing “is:unread” into the search field, then delete ignored emails in large chunks. That’s a favorite Claro tip. “It was a great, great feeling. It was like doing a juice fast or something,” she said. Carter likes the app Remember the Milk for managing tasks online. Manage your family’s activities via Cozi. Or link everything – email, calendars, reminders and more – with a system that pulls all of your work and home life activities into one online site, such as at IQTELL. “That’s the wave that’s coming next,” Carter said. “You’re going to have a place to have it all in one spot.” And that one spot? Well, it’s not on your computer. Rather, it’s on a remote public server – what’s referred to as “the cloud.” Two free, cloud-based sites that may help unclog your inbox and desktop are Springpad and Evernote, Carter said. Users can store notes, recipes, photos, newspaper articles – even snapshots of web pages. “Bookmarks are outdated,” Carter said.

If three’s a crowd, five’s misery Simple steps may prevent those Dear Abby: I am frustrated and angry over a situation that should be fun and happy. My husband, “Rick,” and I are planning a trip with our two children next month. We will visit family while we are there, but they don’t have room for us to stay in their home. Rick wants to bring his mother with us. It will be a tight fit in our car, but I don’t have a problem with that. What bothers me is Rick wants her to stay with us in our hotel room. I am a very private person. I have a problem sharing such close quarters with her. There is NO privacy in a hotel room. I offered to get two rooms, but he feels I am being unreasonable. I feel three adults plus two children is a lot to pack into a small hotel room. AM I being unreasonable? Or should I just accept it and deal with being miserable? – Frustrated In The South Dear Frustrated: Although there may be exceptions, as a general rule, adults need their privacy. Frankly, I am surprised your mother-in-law would be willing to go along with such an arrangement. This is a vacation, and you should not be miserable when you’re

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips supposed to be enjoying it. A better solution would be to get two rooms, and the children should bunk with their grandmother. That way you and your husband could enjoy some private time together. Dear Abby: I have been with my boyfriend for seven years. We have no children together, but he has two young children from a previous relationship whom I have been raising as my own. They call me “Mom,” but they know I’m not their biological mother. Their mother has not contacted them – or cared to – since the younger one was just months old. My fear is now that the kids are getting older, they may want to form a relationship with her later on. I don’t want to seem selfish, but they are MY kids. Any girl can have a baby, but it takes a real woman to be a mom. How should I handle this when that time comes?

– Dreading The Future In Arizona Dear Dreading The Future: It is natural for children to want to know who their

biological parents are; that’s the reason adoption records are no longer sealed. You appear to fear your boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend will want to swoop in and steal your maternal spotlight. From all indications, it’s not the case; you are the only mother they know. If the children want information about their birth mother, the truth should not be kept from them. Meeting her does not guarantee they will love you any less. Worrying about it is self-defeating. Dear Abby: What is the protocol for in-person conversations vs. phone interruptions (either via text or call)? When talking with someone, I feel it’s rude for the other individual to respond to voice or text messages. Can’t people take a break long enough to actually have a real LIVE conversation? How do other readers handle this? Do they walk away? Patiently wait? Or speak up? – Technologi-

with Alzheimer’s from wandering Dear Dr. K: My husband has Alzheimer’s disease. Last week, he left the house, and it took us hours to find him. How can I prevent him from wandering again? Dear Reader: One of the most dangerous and distressing symptoms of Alzheimer’s is wandering. It may seem unfathomable a person might suddenly get up at night to go to the post office, or leave home at any hour for no apparent reason. The inability to control wandering is what often drives families to decide to place a loved one in a nursing home. However, some simple measures can help to prevent wandering, at least for a time. The Alzheimer’s Association recommends these steps: • Install slide bolts at the top or bottom of doors. • Place warning bells on doors. • Cover doorknobs with childproof knobs. • Camouflage doors by painting them the same shade as surrounding walls. • Create a 2-foot black threshold in front of doors with paint or tape. (A rug might do the job, too.) This creates the illusion of a gap or hole that a person

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff with limited visual spatial abilities may be reluctant to cross. Also, take these additional precautions so you’re prepared if your husband does wander: • Have a recent, close-up photograph of your husband available, both print and digital. • Keep a written list of places he might go, such as church or a favorite restaurant, job site or previous home. • Post emergency numbers in a handy spot. • Buy identification jewelry engraved with “memory impaired” and your husband’s name, address and phone number. A high-tech option uses GPS and cellphone towers to provide an approximate location for a person who might wander. You can request an alert if your husband, who must be wearing the locator device, leaves a specified zone. Or you might tap into the system only in case of emergency.

Why do people with Alzheimer’s disease wander? Where do they think they’re going, and why? Health professionals who work with people who have this disease think wandering may be prompted by deep-seated memories of work, chores or hobbies, or a longing to return to a former home. Sometimes that’s what people with Alzheimer’s seem to say when they are found wandering. They usually say they are on some kind of mission. But it’s hard to know. When the brain has been confused by Alzheimer’s disease, does the brain understand what it has decided to do? Could it be people who are asked why they wander feel they need to give some kind of answer, so they create one? Someday, medical science is going to figure out how to stop this devastating disease – and then the question of why people wander will be moot. That will be a truly great day.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Devote as much time and effort as you can to fulfilling your ambitious expectations in the year ahead. Minimize frivolous get-togethers -- you’ll have plenty of time for those later. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It’s OK to be your own person, but draw the line if your needs come at the expense of someone else’s. You don’t want to cause any undue damage. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t allow yourself to be put in a position in which you’re out of your depth. Avoid the situation by being honest about your capabilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone who is just as strong-willed as you might try to be the dominating force in your peer group. If you feel compelled to oppose this person, a collision is likely. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Poor results are highly likely if you have difficulty distinguishing between those who are in your corner and those who are not. Try to use your best judgment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Surprisingly, you’ll be better able to handle large ideas than small ones. Be careful, however, because overly grandiose schemes could lead to your undoing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Unless you’re extremely careful, it could be unwise to invest in certain situations or people that you know little about. Don’t shirk the research. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Those with whom you’re involved won’t like it one bit if you take them or what they do for granted. Things could get volatile, so be extra careful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Assignments you neglect early on will return to haunt you. Don’t delude yourself about the urgency of certain matters. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Overly complex arrangements are destined to fail, so do your best to keep all of your involvements with friends as low-key and uncomplicated as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It won’t do anyone any good to compare the achievements of an outsider against your family. You could be prejudiced against non-family members. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A surefire way to have others come down hard on you is to find fault with their thinking. Don’t be the one to introduce controversy into a relationship. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be extra careful and prudent in your commercial affairs or in the handling of financial funds, whether yours or someone else’s. If your judgment is off, a loss is probable.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Lou Holtz, a former football coach, said, “Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it.” Is bidding 10 percent what your partner bids and 90 percent how you respond to it? Not really; it ought to be an equal division of labor. This week we are looking at responder’s rebids. In today’s deal, what should North do? As we learned yesterday, if North has a weak hand with 6-9 points (or a poor 10), he must pass or bid two hearts or two spades. Here, though, North has game-invitational strength. To show that, he must rebid two no-trump or three of a bid suit (or, although it is impossible here, two of a new suit, as long as that would not be the fourth suit named in the auction, which we will cover later in the week). With three-card heart support, North should jump to three hearts. South would then bid four hearts. Next, look at the West hand. What should he lead against four hearts? The club queen looks mighty tempting. But what

happens then? South wins with his ace, takes dummy’s top spades to shake his club loser, and plays a diamond. West can win and shift to a trump, but declarer plays another diamond. South wins the next heart lead in his hand and ruffs a diamond on the board. He loses only three diamond tricks. With such strong diamonds sitting over declarer’s second suit, West should lead a trump. Then, as long as he leads another heart every time he is on play, he gets four diamond tricks to defeat the contract.
