Continued economic growth expected

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS dbehrends@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The good news is that the U.S. seems to have the strongest economy in the world right now. The bad news is that the U.S. seems to have the strongest economy in the world right now.

Eliciting nervous laughter from his audience, William Strauss, senior economist and economic adviser with the Federal Reserve Bank

Strauss said the forecast calls for a gradual recovery in housing with 1.1 million housing starts predicted this year and 1.3 million predicted in 2015. He said a healthy number is about 1.5 million, leaving new home construction still a bit anemic.

“Housing prices are finally moving up,” Strauss said. “The market is on the mend.”

Fed expert predicts slow, steady expansion in 2014 of Chicago, spoke to business leaders at the annual economic outlook luncheon hosted by the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau in Sycamore.

Strauss has addressed the same group for the past several years now.

“The advantage to return-

In 2013, he predicted the

economy would expand at about a 2 percent annual rate, in line with its current trend, and a little above to start 2014.

“That’s exactly what has materialized,” Strauss said.

“We’re still kind of muddling along, growing at trend.”

The economic recovery from the Great Recession, which ended in June 2009,

has not resembled previous recovery periods after major recessions, Strauss said. For example, economic activity increased more than 20 percent from the lowest point of recessions in the mid-1970s and early 1980s. This time, economic activity has increased by only half that.

Arts Midwest tour brings music to DeKalb County

dbehrends@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It’s rare to see high school students volunteer for anything, but several jumped up when Le Vent du Nord asked for volunteers to learn foot tapping on stage.

The Quebec folk ensemble is in DeKalb County this week to present workshops at DeKalb High School, DeKalb middle schools, Sycamore High School and Northern Illinois University. Part of the Arts Midwest tour, the week of teaching and interacting with students will culminate with a public concert Saturday at DeKalb High School, 501 W. Dresser Road.

Le Vent du Nord is the second of four groups visiting the county as part of a twoyear program to entertain and educate residents about various types of world music, Arts Midwest senior program director Ken Carlson said.

“Some communities have fewer opportunities for this type of programming,” Carlson said. “With NIU in the community, we want to augment what is already happening here.”

The first group that visited, Baladino, was from Israel, Carlson said. This fall, Shangri-la will visit from China, followed

by Paulo Padilha and Group from Brazil in spring 2015.

Arts Midwest gives preference to communities where 3M has a presence, because the company is a major sponsor,

Carlson said. He said he reached out to Rich Holly, dean of the NIU College of Visual and Performing Arts, and District 428 Superintendent Jim Briscoe.

Holly said the cooperative effort has been a blessing. Local funds have been provided by the DeKalb County Community Foundation, Castle Bank, NB&T, the DeKalb Music Boosters and Michael Embry’s FunMe. “So far, we’re doing OK financially,” Holly said. “The cooperative effort has been strong.”

Holly said the musicians bring a great energy and a high level of professionalism.

“The professionalism extends beyond the music; it’s how they talk to people,” Holly said. “They understand their teaching role.”

CHICAGO – The millions that businessman Bruce Rauner has raised for the Republican contest for Illinois governor have allowed him to flood the airwaves with TV ads but also have made him the main target of his opponents, who unloaded on the wealthy political newcomer during their first joint campaign appearance of 2014.

State Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford jumped on Rauner on Thursday for everything from his flip-flop on raising the minimum wage to his daughter’s enrollment in an elite high school, prompting Rauner to declare it “a little bit of a beat up Brucey morning.” The comments followed news conferences both Dillard and Brady held in the past week that focused solely on criticizing the equity investor from Winnetka.

Rauner called the attention a positive sign and said he expects it every day until the March 18 primary.

“The reason I’m being attacked is I’ve got a message that’s resonating with the voters and we’ll win in the race,” he said during a breakfast forum in suburban Chicago hosted by the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald and WLS-TV. The attacks may be the best strategy available to his three rivals, who have lagged significantly behind in fundraising. Rauner raised more than $7 million last year – a total that includes about $2 million of his own money.

Rutherford raised about $1.5 million, while Dillard brought in about $900,000 and Brady about $203,000.

“The only chance any of them has to beat Bruce Rauner is if everybody trains their fire on him directly,” said Republican strategist Doug O’Brien, who was a former chief aide to U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk.

But it’s uncertain who benefits from the approach.

Being singled out by the veteran lawmakers could strengthen Rauner’s image as the outsider who wants to “shake up Springfield.” And if none of the other candidates has money to break out of the pack, all of their efforts may just be drowned out by Rauner’s prolific messaging. Those ads – which have been running for weeks and include radio, Internet and social media in addition to TV – have focused on his plans to improve the economy, establish term limits for lawmakers and improve education.

They’re called ‘human directionals’ You have seen them on sidewalks, often near stores about to go out of business. They dance and sing and do antics.

They are the sign holders.

On a day-to-day basis, poverty in America doesn’t command as much attention as, say, Justin Bieber egging his neighbor’s house, but 2014 marks 50 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson’s declaration of war on poverty.

That declaration of war (during Johnson’s State of the Union address) led indirectly to the establishment of the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

This week, experts from the university and elsewhere gathered in California to announce the findings of a national “report card” on poverty and inequality.

The report is unsurprising: The rich are getting richer, the very rich are getting richer beyond the scope of ordinary comprehension, most of us are stuck in the mud, and the poor continue to just barely hang on.

Similarly, the cure for poverty is unsurprising.

Timothy Smeeding, a UW professor and co-author of the national poverty report card, said, “The long-term solution to poverty is a steady job that pays high enough wages to move a family over the poverty line.”

Back to the sign holders. It could

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst be those who stand/walk/wave/dance for hours in ridiculous costumes while making minimum wage, no benefits and in horrible conditions might genuinely like what they do and be inspired by the performances they give.

Regardless, since most of us have seen these folks, I thought it might be interesting to offer some data about the working conditions of a sign holder.

It was harder than I thought it would be to find good information on these folks, like for starters, what they are called.

In the advertising industry, they are known as “human directionals” or “human billboards.”

Media Nation, an advertising firm, describes its human directional service: “When a real, living and breathing human being holds an arrow directing potential clients to a site, results ensue. Our trained Media Nation Outdoor employees athletically create motion with specially designed signs to attract attention and deliver a call to action. They are strategically positioned on the street corner, in front of the location or wherever foot traffic is desired.”

Here are a couple of other things I found out: • The practice goes back to at least 19th century Europe. Then, as now, poor people hold signs.

• Overwhelmingly, sign holders are paid minimum wage ($7.25 an hour nationally; $8.25 an hour in Illinois).

However, some reports say really artistic, creative, athletic sign holders could earn between $25 and $70 an hour.

• Businesses sometimes use sign holders to skirt ordinances restricting sidewalk signage.

My wife and I noticed a human directional recently on Sycamore Road.

We think it was a man, but it was hard to tell exactly who was beneath the Statue of Liberty costume.

By “recently,” I mean just before 10 a.m. Jan. 3. The low temperature Jan. 3 was minus 8, the high was 22, and the mean was 7. It was extremely cold, windy and bitter.

As I said, I’m not sure of the person’s sex, but I am sure the person wore neither hat nor gloves.

But people have to work to live.

In 3-horse Oscar race, who’s the favorite?

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press In a hydra-headed Oscar race, “American Hustle,” ‘’12 Years a Slave” and “Gravity” all have legitimate claims to favorite status. And that’s a good thing.

Even if a front-runner emerges from the much-nominated trio over the six weeks leading up to the 86th Academy Awards on March 2, the credentials of each film should be plenty to heighten nerves and add to the drama on Oscar night.

“It’s an extremely competitive year,” said David O. Russell, whose “American Hustle” landed 10 nods, tied for most with “Gravity,” in nominations announced Thursday from Beverly Hills, Calif. “It could go any which way.”

Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave,” an unflinching depiction of 19th century American slavery, trailed close behind with nine nominations, including nods for McQueen, lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and supporting players Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o.

Since its festival debut, it’s been seen by many as the movie to beat, a film bearing heavy historical gravitas that the lighter “American Hustle” and the literally weightless “Gravity” can’t match.

But Russell’s wild Abscam comedy, thick in 1970s style, has ridden a wave of enthusiasm for its manic performances. It’s three in a row for Russell, too, who may be due for bigger Oscar wins than his much-nominated films “Silver Linings Playbook” and “The Fighter” managed. A year after “Silver Linings Playbook” landed nominations in all four acting categories, “Hustle” managed the same feat with Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper all receiving nods.

Then there’s “Gravity,” which, along with nominations for director Alfonso Cuaron and lead actress Sandra Bullock, exerted its force with nominations in all seven technical categories.

With $670 million in worldwide box-office, the 3-D space odyssey is easily the most popular of the best-picture nominees, widely credited with reinvigorating the spectacle of the big-screen experience.

The three films will vie in the best picture category with “Captain Phillips,” ‘’Dallas Buyers Club,” ‘’Her,” ‘’Nebraska,” ‘’The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Philomena.” If any of them poses a dark-horse threat, it’s Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” a nearly three hour-long portrait of hedonism and greed that some have said glorifies former trader Jordan Belfort.

David O. Russell appears at a special screening of “American Hustle” on Dec. 3 in Los Angeles. Russell was nominated for an Academy Award for best director Thursday for the film.

The 86th Academy Awards will be held March 2.

“The Wolf of Wall Street” landed five big nominations, including best director (Scorsese, his eighth for directing), best actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), best supporting actor (Jonah Hill), and best adapted screenplay (Terence Winter). DiCaprio, now a four-time nominee, said he felt vindicated.

“To be recognized like this and to see that there were enough people out there who said, ‘Look, we get what this film is’ – not what it’s trying to say, but what it’s trying to reflect,” said DiCaprio. “Nobody wants to be misunderstood.”

The nominations seemed to favor new blood over esteemed veterans. In an especially strong best actor race, Tom Hanks (“Captain Phillips”) and Robert Redford (“All Is Lost”) were surprisingly left out. Emma Thompson was omitted from best actress, and her film, Disney’s making-of “Mary Poppins” tale “Saving Mr. Banks,” was overlooked in the best picture category.

The best actor category is led by first-time nominee Matthew McConaughey, whose Texas HIV drama “Dallas Buyers Club” earned six nominations.

“I’m at home in Malibu, having a cup of tea, catching the sunrise. My newborn’s walking around,” said McConaughey, whose nod capped a remarkable reinvention by the actor after sliding into mediocrity. “What a great alarm clock and news to wake up to this morning.”

Others enjoying their first nod were Ejiofor, McQueen, Fassbender, Barkhad Abdi (a limo driver before being cast as a Somali pirate in “Cap-

tain Phillips”), 84-year-old June Squibb (“Nebraska”) and Jared Leto, who had devoted himself to music before returning to play a transsexual in “Dallas Buyers Club.”

Said Leto: “Yesterday I was doing jury duty, today I woke up with an Academy Award nomination. Only in America.”

Even 77-year-old Bruce Dern, nominated for best actor for his performance as a gruff, taciturn wandering Montana man in “Nebraska,” has an uncommon youthful vigor. Few have taken more pleasure in awards season than Dern (nominated 35 years ago for Hal Ashby’s “Coming Home”), revitalized by a film he’s happily viewed, he estimates, “approaching the upper 30s.”

“I can’t see it enough to realize how lucky we all were with the collaboration that went on on this particular movie,” said Dern. “I feel somehow that the industry has suddenly today put their arms around our little movie.”

The black-and-white “Nebraska” earned six nominations, including best director for Alexander Payne.

One of the day’s biggest winners was the 27-year-old producer Megan Ellison, the daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison. Her Annapurna Pictures produced two of the best-picture nominees (“American Hustle” and “Her”) as well as the Wong Kar-Wai martial arts drama “The Grandmaster.” She is the first woman and only the fourth person to receive two best picture nods in the same year. She celebrated by tweeting “17!” – the total nominations her films received.

Courtroom comes to life Judge Stuckert presents program to Indian Creek seniors

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com SHABBONA – Lane Rissman rips Amanda Kimpflin’s backpack out of her hands suspecting she might have something Indian Creek High School rules prohibit.

Rissman hands the bag to fellow high school senior Garrison Govig, who riffles through it until he finds the suspected contraband.

“I didn’t do anything,” yells Kimpflin, who is also a senior at Indian Creek.

Kimpflin in fact didn’t do

anything. The search and seizure was part of a skit the students performed during a presentation on the judicial system.

DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert brought the courtroom to the classroom for Indian Creek High School seniors Thursday, teaching them about their Fourth Amendment rights.

Through the “Bringing the Courtroom to the Classroom” program, members of the Illinois Judges Association are bringing new life to the high school civics class-

es. Stuckert is among 115 judges trained to deliver the program, which contains an overview of the three branches of government, federal and state courts and a skit based on an actual U.S. Supreme Court case.

“We want to engage students and show them how important the law is,” Stuckert said. “I think it can be really beneficial.”

The students acted out New Jersey v. T.L.O, a case involving a 14-year-old female student caught smoking in the school bathroom. The

principal searched the student’s purse and found marijuana, paraphernalia and money, leading to drug-dealing charges against the girl.

In the actual case, the student believed the search violated her Fourth Amendment rights. Many of the Indian Creek seniors sided with the student, portrayed by Kimpflin.

“If I were her, I would have felt they were invading my privacy,” Kimpflin said.

After Stuckert explained why the U.S. Supreme Court found the search didn’t vio-

DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert speaks to seniors Thursday at Indian Creek High School about their Fourth Amendment rights.

aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A motion to reduce bond was denied Thursday for a 27-year-old DeKalb man accused of raping a 6-year-old family member after prosecutors disclosed new details about the case.

Robert E. Aldape, of the 700 block of Kimberly Drive, faces charges of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and possession of child Robert E. pornography. He has Aldape been jailed since December.

Associate Judge John McAdams declined to reduce the bond from $1 million to $200,000 after Assistant State’s Attorney Phil Montgomery read a lengthy report from a letter Aldape allegedly wrote to his wife and Aldape’s statements to police.

Public defender Chip Criswell said Aldape’s family could have posted $20,000, and Aldape could have lived at his parents’ house, where no children live.

Montgomery said the sexual contact with the family member had gone on since she was 3 years old. Aldape has admitted to raping the child on multiple occasions, including at his home, Montgomery said.

Police arrested Aldape on Dec. 14 after the Sycamore Police Department conducted an undercover online investigation through the Illinois Internet Crimes Against Children task force in December, working with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, FBI and DeKalb police, according to a news release.

A police officer found a short video of Aldape raping the victim, Montgomery said. On one occasion, Aldape said the victim “didn’t mind” he was raping her, Montgomery said.

DeKalb police are still investigating to see whether there are more victims, but they don’t believe there are, DeKalb police Lt. Bob Redel said.

The victim is in the custody of her mother while Aldape is in jail, Redel said.

Criswell asked the court to consider that Aldape is innocent until proven guilty. His next court date is scheduled for Feb. 10.

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS dbehrends@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – DeKalb County Board members appointed a new deputy county administrator for outreach at their Wednesday meeting.

Christine Johnson, who also holds the office of county treasurer, was approved as the second deputy county administrator. Paul Miller, the county’s planning, zoning and building administrator, was appointed to the deputy administrator handling operations in December.

As the deputy administrator for outreach, Johnson will be responsible for communication, legislative action, local government interaction and marketing.

This new role carries a stipend of $7,800 for 2014, $8,580 for 2015 and $9,360 for 2016 in addition to her county treasurer’s salary of $91,250 for the fiscal year that started Jan. 1.

“Among other things, I will be a liaison between the County Board and other taxing bodies at meetings and other county events where it’s important to have a county representative present,” Johnson said.

“I applied because I have a unique skill set after serving in the General Assembly and for nearly 20 years with the

Cortland parents to meet with company, officials DeKALB – The Cortland Elementary School Parent Teacher Association will meet with school district and Waste Management officials tonight.

The meeting at 6 p.m. today at the Cortland Lions Shelter, 70 S. Llanos St., is open to parents who want to discuss with leaders what their children have experienced in the past year. DeKalb School District 428 Superintendent James Briscoe, Cortland Elementary School Principal Kimberly Lyle, a Waste Management representative and a representative of Stop the DeKalb County Mega-Dump group will be in attendance.

The meeting is being held in response to an incident Tuesday in which a Waste Management contractor performing construction at the Cortland landfill released a foul odor into the air that travelled to the school and sent 71 students and staff members to Kishwaukee Hospital.

county,” Johnson said.

The appointment of both deputy administrators ends Dec. 31, 2016.

With 23 of the 24 County Board members present, 20 board members voted to approve Johnson’s appointment and three abstained. Members abstaining were Frank O’Barski from District 10; Misty Haji-Sheikh from District 7 and Mark Pietrowski from District 3.

“I didn’t want to vote no for Christine Johnson; I don’t have a problem with her,” O’Barski said. “I don’t like the principle of elected officials being in county jobs. There is too much potential for conflict of interest or an appearance that we’re a private club.”

Christine Johnson said the Johnson question of potential conflict of interest was addressed in extensive conversations with county Administrator Gary Hanson and State’s Attorney Richard Schmack, who did not see a problem.

Hanson said four people applied for the two deputy positions, and they were not advertised to the general public.

“My goal all along was to appoint existing department heads,” Hanson said.

Former Algonquin man charged Cook County is leading in with murder in his parents’ slaying concealed carry applications

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL

cmcdougall@shawmedia.com More than seven years after they were found shot to death in their McHenry County home, the son of Gloria and Nick Romano has been charged with killing them.

Michael W. Romano, 54, was arrested Tuesday in Las Vegas, charged with first-degree murder in his parents’ 2006 double homicide.

Nick Romano, 71, and Gloria Romano, 65, were found Nov. 19, 2006, with gunshot wounds to the back of the head. Michael Romano told police he found his parents dead at 3 a.m. He drove to their home to check on the couple because they weren’t answering their phones, he has said.

There were no signs of forced entry at the couple’s home, which was in Lake Killarney, just outside Crystal Lake. Neither victim showed signs of defensive wounds or other injuries, then McHenry County Coroner Marlene Lantz said at the time.

Police long have suspected Michael Romano. Formerly of Algonquin, he left the area shortly after his parents’ death and was working as a cab driver in Las Vegas, sheriff’s police said.

As the 2006 investigation progressed, Michael Romano stopped cooperating with

detectives and would only speak with them through an attorney, according to Northwest Michael W. Herald reports Romano from the time.

It’s unclear what new evidence, if any, connects Michael Romano to the killings. McHenry County State’s Attorney Criminal Division Chief Michael Combs would not comment on the investigation.

In an interview in 2007, Michael Romano said he quit talking with police because he didn’t like the way they handled his questioning immediately after his parents’ deaths. He was interrogated for 15 hours, he said.

Meanwhile, Michael’s brother, Nicholas Romano, offered rewards for information about his parents’ killer.

Nicholas Romano expressed frustration with his brother,

and questioned why Michael was at the home so late.

Nicholas Romano no longer lives in the area. He could not be reached for comment.

“I will not give up searching for answers,” Nicholas Romano said in a 2007 interview.

“Somebody’s got to know something. We all want answers.”

McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren said the investigation remains open, and Nicholas Romano’s $100,000 reward still stands.

“We’re not closing the book on this one,” Nygren said. “We’re still hoping people will come forward ... anyone with information useful to prosecuting this case.”

Michael Romano remains in custody in Clark County, Nev., awaiting extradition.

He waived extradition at a hearing there Thursday, meaning he will be brought back to McHenry County in a few weeks.

Sheriff’s deputies, with the assistance of Las Vegas Metro Police, served Michael Romano with an arrest warrant and took him into custody.

The decision to present the case to a grand jury was made by the State’s Attorney’s Office, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

A criminal indictment was returned earlier this month remains sealed.

SPRINGFIELD – Almost one in four of the roughly 23,000 Illinois residents who have applied for concealed carry permits live in Cook County, but new figures from the state police show most of the relative interest comes from rural areas of the state when factoring in population.

Data released this week show the highly populated county that’s home to Chicago leads the rankings with more than 5,300 applications filed between Jan. 5 and Monday.

Suburban Chicago’s densely populated Will and DuPage counties followed in second and third with 1,759 and 1,589 applications respec-

tively.

But on a per-capita basis, rural counties have the highest proportion of applicants compared to urban and suburban communities.

When comparing application numbers to a county’s population, Cumberland County in east-central Illinois ranks first, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Fifty-six people there have applied for the permits. Cumberland has about 11,000 residents. In White County in southern Illinois, there have been 70 applications so far. The county has about 15,000 residents. And in Wabash County in southeastern Illinois, there were 52 applications. The county has about 12,000 residents.

On a per-capita basis, Cook

County ranks last among Illinois’ 102 counties, the newspaper reported.

State Rep. Brandon Phelps, a Harrisburg Democrat, was the lead architect of the measure that led Illinois to become the last state in the country to allow residents to carry concealed weapons. He tells the Sun-Times he already has applied for a permit and hopes to carry a .45-calibur handgun. He said he’s not surprised by the interest in rural areas relative to populated regions of the state.

“I think there’s lot of people downstate that are really pro-Second Amendment,” he said. “They’ve been waiting a long time to exercise their constitutional right.”

Dillard’s attention to Rauner is because of revelations about him • CANDIDATES Continued from page A1 “I don’t think any of them can get any traction as long as Rauner is up on TV talking about hot-button issues,” O’Brien said.

Brady said his focus on Rauner was necessary for the party, particularly on the minimum wage issue. At a candidate forum last month, Rauner said he’d support bringing Illinois’ $8.25 minimum wage rate down to the national rate of $7.25. Weeks later, he said he’d be in support of raising it under the right circumstances. Rauner has called the earlier stance “a mistake.”

“The Republican Party, not just Bruce Rauner, took a hit because of his posi-

tion, whatever it might be, on minimum wage. It was damaging,” he told reporters after Thursday’s forum in Mount Prospect. “I had to defend the fact that Republicans don’t stand for cutting people’s wages.”

Dillard said his attention to Rauner is because of revelations about the candidate.

“I only react,” he said. “I don’t start it.”

Still, Dillard didn’t miss a chance to bring up allegations, including a recent Chicago Sun-Times investigation that showed Rauner made a $250,000 contribution to an elite Chicago public school after his daughter gained admission. Rauner’s campaign has confirmed he made the donation but said it falls in line with his other contributions to schools and

had nothing to do with the admission of his straight-A student daughter.

“It’s the constant drip drip drip of questions that, I think, will wash away in a flood any chance that our party has, if Bruce is the nominee, of defeating [Gov.] Pat Quinn in the fall,” Dillard said during the forum.

Rauner did level some accusations back at the three, including that all are political insiders tied to big union money. The move prompted Rutherford, whose attention on Rauner has been more subtle, to scold him mid-sentence.

“No, Bruce Rauner, don’t do that,” Rutherford said as Rauner talked of candidates who’ve received union money.

Stock market has improved since ’09 • ECONOMY Continued from page A1 The stock market has improved since March 2009, making up all of the ground it lost and returning to prerecession levels, he said.

Employment gains are being seen, he said, but not at the level needed. Although the 8.7 million jobs lost during the recession should be fully recovered sometime this year, that does not take into account that the workforce has grown by 1 million people each year since 2009, Strauss said.

Unemployment rates are down, but he said about

100,000 jobs should be added every month. He said unemployment remains high in Illinois, and he’s nervous about the challenges the state’s fiscal position might be putting on the economy.

“The taxpayers in Illinois were given a bogus deal,” Strauss said. “The demand for more services has been continuously deferred, and the temporary tax increase does not address the problem.”

Overall, Strauss said he expects the U.S. economy to expand at a pace slightly above trend in 2014 and employment to rise moderately.

Castle Bank Vice President Ron Bemis thought the pre-

sentation provided a generally positive outlook.

“It appears Mr. Strauss expects 2014 to be similar or show slight improvement when compared to 2013. The economy is expected to continue to move forward with modest gains on most economic fronts,” Bemis said.

Chuck Kaiser, NB&T senior vice president and senior lending officer, was pleased with what he heard.

“We believe in our community and its ability to thrive, so it was good to see evidence of economic improvement in 2013 and a generally upbeat prediction for 2014,” Kaiser said.

“It’s the melody with words,” Demers said. “The way you dress it up is up to each band. You can give the

“There was no one to teach me the bouzouki, but because it’s a stringed instrument, I was able to pick it up pretty easily,” Beaudry said.

High court could weigh in on cellphone searches

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court decided 40 years ago that police don’t need a search warrant to look through anything a person is carrying when arrested. But that was long before smartphones gave people the ability to take with them the equivalent of millions of pages of documents or thousands of photographs.

In a new clash over tech-

nology and privacy, the court is being asked to resolve divisions among federal and state courts over whether the old rules should still apply in the digital age.

The justices could say as early as today whether they will hear appeals involving warrantless cellphone searches that led to criminal convictions and lengthy prison terms.

There are parallels to other cases making their way through the federal courts,

ter said, and the majority of those are smartphones – essentially increasingly powerful computers that are also telephones.

In one of two cases before the justices, the federal appeals court in Boston threw out evidence police found when they conducted a limited search of a suspected drug dealer’s cellphone after his arrest. Judge Norman Stahl of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said warrantless cellphone searches create a

serious threat to the privacy even of people who have been properly arrested.

“Today, many Americans store their most personal ‘papers’ and ‘effects’ in electronic format, on a cellphone, carried on the person,” Stahl said.

Under the Fourth Amendment, police generally need a warrant before they can conduct a search. The warrant itself must be based on “probable cause,” evidence that a crime has been committed,

the Constitution says.

But in the early 1970s, the Supreme Court carved out exceptions for officers dealing with people they have arrested. The court was trying to set clear rules that allowed police to look for concealed weapons and prevent the destruction of evidence.

Briefcases, wallets, purses and crumpled cigarette packs all are fair game if they are being carried by a suspect or within the person’s immediate control.

The Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginia inspectors visited the site of last week’s chemical spill in 2010 when a nearby resident complained about a strong odor of licorice, the same smell that led officials to the spill Jan. 9, according to documents released Thursday.

The company that stores the chemical that leaked into the Elk River and contaminated drinking water for 300,000 people was not cited after the 2010 visit, the documents showed. Robert Keatley, one of the inspectors, said in an email that the odor was not strong enough to merit a citation.

Because the site only stored and did not manufacture chemicals, state officials have said it did not need permits to discharge pollutants into the air or water.

Previously, the state environmental department said the last inspection report for the site dated to 2001, when it was a refinery owned by a different company and operating under more stringent rules.

During the 2010 visit, the inspectors noted the company, Freedom Industries, should file paperwork to see if it needed a permit for the chemical that caused the odor. Freedom submitted it, and it was determined that a permit wasn’t necessary, Keatley said.

The licorice smell was prominent around the site on the morning of Jan. 9, the day the spill was discovered, and the odor has lingered in the air and the water even as water for most Charleston-area residents has been declared safe to drink. State officials have said they think the leak started Jan. 9.

Little is known about the effects of human exposure to the chemical, which is known as MCHM and is used to clean coal. Some people got sick after the spill but none of the illnesses were serious.

The documents, first obtained by the Wall Street Journal, also showed several other routine visits to the site by state inspectors between 2002 and 2012. No violations were found during those visits.

The documents also showed that a nearby businessman reported a strong odor on the morning of Jan. 9, telling state environmental officials that his wife was coughing and it was coating her throat.

Al Gold, owner of a restaurant supply company on the Elk River about a mile downstream from the Freedom Industries site, told The Associated Press that he has smelled the licorice odor for at least the past two years, but he never complained about it until the day of the spill, when the smell became overwhelming as he and his wife drove past the site on their way to work.

“My wife almost immediately started getting headaches, started getting nauseous, and we knew something was wrong,” Gold said.

He said he called 911 after he did not hear back from the state Department of Environmental Protection. A department official eventually got back to him about seven hours after his call and said the department was checking the air, he said.

Congress sends $1.1 trillion spending bill to Obama

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress sent President Barack Obama a $1.1 trillion government-wide spending bill Thursday, easing the harshest effects of last year’s automatic budget cuts after tea party critics chastened

by October’s partial shutdown mounted only a faint protest.

The Senate voted 72-26 for the measure, which cleared the House a little more than 24 hours earlier on a similarly lopsided vote. Obama’s signature on the bill was expected in time to prevent any interruption in government funding Saturday at midnight.

The huge bill funds every agency of government, pairing increases for NASA and Army

Corps of Engineers construction projects with cuts to the Internal Revenue Service and foreign aid. It pays for implementation of Obama’s health care law; a fight over implementing “Obamacare” sparked tea party Republicans to partially shut the government down for 16 days last October.

Also included is funding for tighter regulations on financial markets, but at levels lower than the president wanted.

The compromise-laden legislation reflects the realities of divided power in Washington and a desire by both Democrats and Republicans for an election-year respite after three years of budget wars that had Congress and the White House lurching from crisis to crisis.

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press ELKHART, Ind. – The manager of an Indiana grocery store where a shopper and employee had just been fatally shot was on his knees in front of the gunman and appeared to be praying when police entered, catching the shooter’s eye and giving the manager enough time to run.

That split-second diversion likely saved the manager’s life and enabled police to chase down Shawn Walter Bair and kill him Wednesday night before anyone else in the Martin’s Super Market was harmed.

With the gunman distracted, the manager ran down a store aisle, Indiana State Police Sgt. Trent Smith said at a news conference Thursday.

Bair then ran down a parallel aisle before stopping and doing something with his gun and pulling out a large knife.

Officers clearing people from

the store suddenly found themselves 10 feet away and shot him, Smith said.

Officers found the bodies of 20-year-old Krystle Dikes of Elkhart, who had just recently started working at Martin’s, and 44-year-old customer Rachelle Godfread of Elkhart about 12 aisles apart.

Godfread was shot multiple times, Smith said.

Police were still seeking a motive, even as a few details about the gunman started to emerge.

Bair, 22, of Elkhart, was convicted four years ago of stealing from another Martin’s store in Elkhart. On his Facebook page he had pictures of serial killers and wrote about Lucifer, going to hell and about realizing “that everybody should die.”

He also wrote that, “In order to Love you must Hate because you can’t love without hate and you can’t hate without love because without love you would have nothing to hate.”

Republican lawmakers arrive at the Capitol as the Senate votes to approve a $1.1 trillion spending package, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, a bipartisan compromise that all but banishes the likelihood of an election-year government shutdown, at the Capitol in Washington, measure as a way to ease automatic spending cuts that both the Pentagon and domestic agencies had to begin absorb-

ing last year.

All 53 Democrats, two independents and 17 Republicans voted for the bill. The 26 votes

against it were all cast by Republicans.

Shortly before the final vote, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, delivered a slashing attack on Senate Democrats, accusing them of ignoring the problems caused by the health care law.

“It is abundantly clear that millions of Americans are being harmed right now by this failed law,” Cruz said.

Unlike last fall, when he spoke for 21 straight hours and helped force the government shutdown over defunding “Obamacare,” this time he clocked in at 17 minutes and simply asked the Senate to unanimously approve an amendment to strip out Obamacare funding. Democrats easily repelled the maneuver.

The 1582-page bill was really 12 bills wrapped into one in negotiations headed by Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., and Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., respective chairmen of the House and Senate Appropriations committees, and their subcommittee lieutenants. They spent weeks hashing out line-by-line details of a broad two-year budget accord passed in December, the first since 2009.

The bill, which cleared the House on a vote of 359-67, increases spending by about $26 billion over fiscal 2013, with most of the increase going to domestic programs. Almost $9 billion in unrequested money for overseas military and diplomatic operations helps ease shortfalls in the Pentagon and foreign aid budgets.

Jesse White Illinois Secretary of State

Meanwhile, in West Virginia ...

Morgan Paul’s evening last Thursday began as it usually does after a full day as director of Boone-Madison Public Library in West Virginia.

First, she changed out of her work clothes.

Then she made a little dinner. She doesn’t remember whether she used any tap water to do that.

After that, Paul clicked onto her computer to check out the latest local news on the website for Charleston television station WSAZ. That’s how Paul found out something was wrong with the drinking water in Boone County.

The news alerts started at

10:45 a.m.: Emergency crews are investigating a strong smell in the Kanawha Valley.

C.W. Sigman, Kanawha County Emergency Manager ... describes the smell as something similar to liquorice.

11:20 a.m.: A strong smell in the Kanawha Valley appears to be coming from a business in Charleston.

C.W. Sigman ... tells WSAZ. com an odor is coming from a company called Freedom Industries on Barlow Drive.

The smell is from a product called crude, which is used in the coal prep process. Sigman describes the smell as something similar to liquorice.

2:15 p.m.: C.W. Sigman ... tells WSAZ.com Freedom Industries on Barlow Drive had a tank leak. ...The leaked product is 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol, which is used in the froth flotation process of coal

VIEWS Connie Schultz washing and preparation. The product initially leaked into a containment area, the product then leaked from the containment area into the Elk river. ...

Sigman says there is no way to get it out of the water. There is some concern the product could get into the water intake.

5:45 p.m.: West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin is warning residents of possible water contamination. ...

Residents in Boone, Lincoln, Kanawha, Jackson and Putnam counties should not use tap water for drinking, cooking, washing, or bathing. You can use the water for toilets and fire emergencies. Boiling water will not get rid of the chemical.

Paul got into her car and headed to the Dollar General.

“Do you have water in gallon jugs?” she asked the manager. “We’re going to need them.”

The manager took her back to the stockroom and thanked Paul for the heads-up. Mindful of the patrons at the four libraries in her charge, Paul bought 4 gallons of water.

Another staffer bought a big tub of baby wipes and hand sanitizer.

“Our staff kept checking with the city for deliveries of water,” Paul said in an interview from her home in Madison, W.Va. “A lot of our patrons depend on us.”

It was the beginning of a

long five days.

I wish I could say that by now, you’ve known for days that more than 300,000 West Virginians were left with no water after thousands of gallons of a coal-processing chemical oozed from a water treatment plant into the Elk River. However, unless you live in West Virginia or know somebody who does, there’s a chance you didn’t hear anything about this crisis until the following week.

As so many in West Virginia have pointed out, not one Sunday talk show of note even bothered to mention the catastrophe unfolding there.

We could have quite a conversation about why that is, but we’d have to start by admitting to the prejudices so many of us harbor toward our fellow Americans who live in coal country.

I will spare you the Detroit Free Press staffer’s tweet about one of those vile stereotypes, but I celebrate the public outrage that sparked its deletion and her apology. What a surprise – to some, I guess – that social media are a force in West Virginia, too.

The company responsible for this chemical spill is Freedom Industries – an apt name, it turns out, because this part of the coal industry has been free of government regulation and inspection. Say that out loud, will you?

Slowly, in patches, the government has declared water safe to drink. In the past two days, Twitter has been awash with posts from West Virginia residents taking pictures of

this supposedly clean water.

Lots of bathtubs lined with sediment or filled with water that looks like urine. One post showed globs of a “gelled up” substance left behind after the water drained down her sink.

On Tuesday night, Cincinnati shut down two intake valves along the Ohio River to protect the city’s drinking water from the spill, which is headed toward Kentucky and Indiana.

That same evening, at 9:32 p.m., WCHS-TV posted a story about a man’s skin peeling off his hands after he used water declared just fine for his use.

Dr. Elizabeth Brown warned residents to be vigilant.

“We’re progressing to see more frank rashes and red eyes, people that are really having some GI discomfort, and it’s a little more serious right now,” she told the station. “So I’m certainly encouraging patients with these symptoms to have a good panel of blood work so we can rule out other things or so we can go back and later document the chemical – (which may) cause some problems with the kidneys or something else, and we need to know that.”

The doctor’s right. We do need to know that – and a whole lot more.

If only we could get out of our own way a little more, maybe the Illinois economy could grow faster.

People here are hungry for better financial times, but the forecast from the Federal Reserve is for more of the same gradual, slow growth.

Although 2014 might feel a bit better than past years, with moderate economic growth, it won’t resemble the kind of recovery that our country has seen in the wake of past recessions, just as the years before have not.

Slow growth was the theme of William A. Strauss’ economic outlook speech at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau on Thursday in Sycamore.

Nationally, not enough people are eager to accept the risk of borrowing money, and not enough For the record businesses feel compelled to expand and hire in order to If the state can set its keep up with competitors. financial affairs in order, Our economy is the stronIllinois can make the most gest in the world, and yet of what economic growth its growth has been underis expected in 2014. whelming.

In Illinois, we face the added difficulty of uncertainty surrounding how we’re going to resolve the financial problems confronting our state.

After all, the deal struck in December, which could save as much as $160 billion over 30 years, has yet to be vetted by the court system. Even if it is found to be in compliance with the state constitution, it hardly will be enough to rescue us with the pension system underfunded by about $100 billion and expects to finish its fiscal year with almost $6 billion in unpaid bills.

And the income tax increase that is scheduled to roll back at the end of 2014 is not a solution, even if the full increase is retained.

“Even with the current, higher [tax] rates, the situation is going to get worse,” Strauss said.

The uncertainty surrounding our state’s financial future is the sort of thing that business leaders hate.

It puts our state at a disadvantage relative to neighboring states.

Would you rather open or expand your operation in Illinois, where worker’s compensation costs are high and you could be facing future increases in fees and taxes? Or in Indiana, Iowa, or Missouri, where the situation is more stable and the future less uncertain?

Of course, Illinois has substantial advantages in infrastructure, population and other factors that its neighbors do not. But opening a new business or making a commitment to business expansion is a great enough risk in and of itself without including the possibility of future tax and fee increases.

Our state also has the region’s highest unemployment rate.

This will be a crucial year for Illinois, with spring primaries ahead of a fall election in which a new governor will be chosen.

Voters, workers, and employers should make their voices heard. We want more jobs in Illinois, and in order to do that, we will need our leaders to come up with more lasting solutions to our state’s problems.

Part of that may require cutting government services – but if we have already run up this level of debt, we haven’t been paying the full price for those services all along and can not afford them.

If the state can set its financial affairs in order, Illinois can make the most of what economic growth is expected in 2014.

Gates book shows tensions of civilian-military leadership Robert Gates is the only secretary of defense to have served two presidents from different political parties in a time of war. So his comparison of two men facing their greatest wartime crises – one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan, both weighing the case for troop reinforcements to salvage wars that were being lost – is invaluable.

Gates’s observations, contained in his new memoir, have provoked debate about the different styles of George W. Bush and Barack Obama (that’s what people in Washington, predictably, have focused on). The book’s more constructive message, however, is about the tension that is essential to the relationship between the commander in chief and the military.

Consider: Gates credits Bush’s determined leadership during the Iraq surge of 2007, and he commends a national-security process and staff that granted the Pentagon and top commander General David Petraeus great autonomy in executing a new counterinsurgency campaign. Gates agrees with the decision to send heavy reinforcements to Iraq, and he says it succeeded in helping stabilize the country.

Problem is, the surge was necessary to avert disaster – and the errors that brought the war to that point were made under the same commander in chief. Gates writes approvingly about how Bush enjoyed the company of senior military members and relied on their advice.

That worked after 2006, when Gates took office, but for the previous four years, Bush had failed to challenge their half-baked strategy of handing off security responsibilities to unprepared Iraqi forces. By the time Gates arrived, Bush’s regard for his military commanders had brought Iraq to the brink of implosion.

DEKALB 51, SYCAMORE 8

MLB approves expanded replay starting in 2014 PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. – Ever since the game was invented, before TV or even radio existed, baseball counted on the eyes and ears of umpires on the field. Starting this season, many key decisions will be made in a studio far away.

Major League Baseball vaulted into the 21st century of technology Thursday, approving a huge expansion of instant replay in hopes of eliminating blown calls that riled up players, managers and fans.

“I think it’s great,” San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s about getting it right.”

Acknowledging the human element had been overtaken in an era when everyone except the umps could see several views over and over in slow-motion, owners and players and umpires OK’d the new system.

Now each manager will be allowed to challenge at least one call a game. If he’s right, he gets another challenge. After the seventh inning, a crew chief can request a review on his own if the manager has used his challenges.

“I tell you the fans will love it,” baseball commissioner Bud Selig said after owners met and voted their unanimous approval. “It’s another in a long list of changes that will make this sport better than it already is.”

Baseball was the last major pro sport in North America to institute replay when it began late in the 2008 season. Even then, it was only used for close calls on home runs.

DeKalb’s Matt Macarus takes down Sycamore’s Michael Ernster in the 152-pound match Thursday night at DeKalb High School. Macarus won, 14-5, and the Barbs defeated the Spartans, 51-8, to win the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference’s East Division championship.

Barbs win NI Big 12 East Defeat Sycamore for the 1st time in 5 seasons

More online For video highlights of the DeKalb’s 51-8 wrestling victory over Sycamore on Thursday, log on to Daily-Chronicle.com/dcpreps.

By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – A year ago, DeKalb wrestling coach Mike Pater walked out of his team’s early January meet against Yorkville, which knocked the Barbs out of the Northern Illinois Big 12 East championship race, and lamented a heart-breaking loss.

On Thursday, an even-keeled Pater and his DeKalb team clinched the conference title outright, beating Sycamore, 51-8, to finish the conference season undefeated. After beating the Spartans for the first time in five years, Pater chose to focus on what lies ahead rather than talk about his team’s accomplishments.

“We haven’t beat these guys in a few years, so it’s nice to go out with a win,” Pater said. “I know most of these guys have bigger goals than to just beat Sycamore. We’re just trying to get these guys ready for the end of the year.”

The Barbs clinched at least a share of the conference title a week ago with a 30-29 win over Yorkville, which beat them on a tie-breaker the year before.

On Thursday, against the defending conference champion Spartans, who were riddled with injuries, DeKalb (183, 5-0 NI Big 12 East) won all but three matches.

Howie Olson led off with a pin at 145 pounds, and Matt Macarus won by

major decision before James Corralejo won by decision at 160. After Sycamore wrestlers Patrick Mathey and Chris Malone won by decision at 170 and 182 pounds, the Barbs won every match except for 126 pounds, where DeKalb sophomore Parker Stratton wrestled up a weight class against defending state champion Kyle Akins.

“It feels good to finally beat them,” said 132-pounder Jackson Montgomery, who won by major decision. “A lot of guys didn’t have a lot of varsity experience [last year]. We all have at least one year of experience, and we all came together.”

Sycamore (7-10, 1-4) was forced to forfeit three weight classes because of injuries, but coach Alex Nelson said a few of his top wrestlers should be back as the postseason approaches.

“Obviously, we have some misfortunes right now trying to get guys back in,” Nelson said. “Hopefully, we would have been more competitive, but the guys that came out and wrestled, the guys that we have, it wasn’t

CUBS

because of effort. At the end of the day, it wasn’t quite good enough. Hats off to [DeKalb], they’ve been tough all year.”

After an inexperienced DeKalb team struggled against top conference opponents last season, the Barbs came back beter prepared, especially in the lighter weights. The Barbs have flexibility to move wrestlers up weight classes depending on the situation, including 106-pounder Ulises Jacobo, who won by technical fall at 113 Thursday.

Although last season ended in disappointment, the Barbs always knew they had a group capable of accomplishing big things. Pater hopes the biggest are to come.

“I feel really good for the team.

Cubs detail pitch to Tanaka Shaw fitting in at 2nd-line center

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – The biggest name at the Cubs Convention this weekend promises to be the one belonging to the guy who won’t be there – the player who might otherwise provide a major boost of faith in the Cubs’ rebuild.

The player who this month has become the latest litmus test of the Ricketts family’s fortitude as big-market, bigleague owners.

When new Cubs manager Rick Renteria talked Thursday about the sales pitch the Cubs made to Japanese free-agent Masahiro Tanaka last week, it stirred visions of a 25-year-old pitching savior – the sexiest free agent of the winter – leading the Cubs’ rotation into multiple Octobers.

“I actually ordered Rosetta Stone, Japanese version,” said Renteria, speaking from his own nature of boundless optimism than any confidence based on inside knowledge of the Cubs’ chances to land the workhorse right-hander.

In fact, breathless national reports via AP file photo Twitter and blogs Thursday overshot Japan’s starter Masahiro Tanaka delivers a pitch against the Cubs’ likelihood of hanging with the big-spending favorites in New York Taiwan in the first inning of a charity game March 10, 2012,

Spartans girls with 4 in a row

By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF sports@daily-chronicle.com The Sycamore girls basketball team won its fourth consecutive game with a 59-32 win over Morris in Northern Illinois Big 12 East play Thursday night at home.

Bailey Gilbert led the Spartans (13-4, 4-0 NI Big 12 East) with 23 points, including 8 for 8 from the free-throw line and seven rebounds. Lauren Goff had 13 points and Taiya Hopkins and Kayley Aase chipped in with six points each.

“We played very well from beginning to end again, which

is nice,” Sycamore coach Brett Goff said. “We’re putting together some complete games on both ends of the floor.”

It’s Shaw’s job to do the dirty work • HAWKS Continued from page B1

jcowley@suntimes.com WASHINGTON – No word on if Jimmy Butler drove the team bus to the airport Wednesday night and then flew the charter from Orlando, Fla., to Washington D.C., but it wouldn’t come as a surprise.

After all, the third-year player set a franchise record in the triple-overtime win over the Magic, playing 60 minNext utes.

“I’m sure at Washington, 6 p.m. today, I’m going to CSN, AM-1000 h e a r a b o u t it,” coach Tom Thibodeau joked afterward.

If there’s one aspect of Thibodeau’s coaching that often is under the microscope, it’s the heavy minutes he’s put on certain players since taking over before the 2010-11 season.

That was evident during the 2011-12 season when former Bulls forward Luol Deng led the league in average minutes played with 39.4.

Deng again was atop that category last season at 38.7, and Joakim Noah was right there through the first two months of last season until plantar fasciitis limited him in the second half.

With Deng traded to Cleveland almost two weeks ago, Butler seems to have been anointed the new minutes warrior, but the coach actually had been a bit softer with handing out the minutes this season, with Deng 13th in the league at 36.4 minutes a game.

Even with the heavy workload Wednesday, Butler was averaging 34.2 minutes a game, so the Magic game was more aberration than anything else. And Butler’s teammates appreciated every second he played.

“I feel like we should definitely bake Jimmy a cake for playing 60 minutes,” Noah said. “I’m really happy for him that he made a franchise record. No, seriously, though,

Bulter played a franchise-record 60 minutes in the Bulls’ triple-overtime victory. there’s nothing better than that feeling of getting on the bus and you’ve won. Even guys who say, ‘Oh, I don’t care.’ But [Orlando players are] driving home (after the game) and they’re [upset].

There’s no better feeling than winning a basketball game.

It’s the best.”

And although Butler’s performance was inspiring, almost lost in the win was what Noah did, and what he’s done since Deng was traded .

The All-Star center played 49 minutes in the Magic win, scoring 26 points, grabbing 19 rebounds and dishing out six assists.

In his past five games, Noah is averaging 15 points, 15 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.8 blocks, while playing 38.2 minutes a game.

“There are not many players like him,” Thibodeau said of Noah. “His all-

around defense, every aspect from the rebounding effort to seeing things early, seeing how they’re developing. But probably the most important thing is to make two, three and four efforts on the same play. Often times, I don’t know how he gets to the ball, but he gets to the ball. That helps unite and inspire your team.

“The thing right now about his offense that has made him so good is he’s making quick decisions and they’re right on the money. No holding the ball, just a quick decision, and I think that’s helping the team a lot.

“He has a great will to win.

No matter what’s going on in the game. Even when things aren’t going his way, when the game is on the line, he is going to find a way to make something happen. That’s important.”

home on the Hawks’ top power play unit, he’s proving offensive in more ways than one.

“I think a lot of guys get stereotyped,” Saad said. “Regardless of thinking he’s … a grinder, whatever you want to call him, he definitely has some skill.”

That said, with Kane on his right wing and Saad on his left, it’s not Shaw’s job to score goals.

His job is to do the dirty work in the corners to fetch them the puck, to crash the net and clean up their rebounds, and to focus on defense so they don’t have to.

His job isn’t to score points, it’s to allow Kane and Saad to score points. Whatever he gets is a bonus.

“It kind of jells well,” Saad said. “Even though he’s not the typical playmaking center, he still can make plays. And playing with playmakers like Kane, it helps both of us with him working hard and going to the net.”

Shaw’s rise to the second line is reminiscent of Dave Bolland’s last year – a checking-line guy thrust into an unlikely offensive role. It didn’t work out with Bolland, who proved far more effective in a bottom-six spot, particularly in the playoffs. And although the Hawks could wind up missing Shaw’s presence further down the lineup come the postseason, Quenneville had nothing but good things to say about his first two games in his new role, and suggested that it could become a permanent home for him.

Of course, aside from Jonathan Toews lining up at center on the top line every night, nothing is guaranteed in Quenneville’s lineup. Just last week, he touted Marcus Kruger as a possible answer at second-line center, only to bump him back down to the fourth line by the end of his first game there. So although Shaw called it a “privilege” and said that he very much wants this to become a “long-term thing,” he knows better than to ever get comfortable in a role.

“Real short leash,” he said.

“I can’t take the foot off the gas.

I’ve got to keep going and keep pushing myself, and keep improving game in and game out.”

Cubs have left big chunk of payroll open for Tanaka • CUBS Continued from page B1 and Los Angeles in the process, especially when the Dodgers reminded the world of their willingness to spend by giving ace Clayton Kershaw a record-setting contract extension this week – after dealing with the same agent representing Tanaka.

The Cubs, meanwhile, have set aside a sizeable chunk of their middle-of-the-pack payroll budget to stay in the Tanaka hunt, sacrificing possible acquisitions early in the offseason to have the wherewithal to make a serious run.

But how serious when it comes to competing with the Dodgers and the pitching-desperate Yankees? The front office, according to sources, is making its strongest bid,

based on the limits placed by a debt-strung, skittish-to-spend ownership.

But baseball operations don’t have the resources to be able to outspend big-ticket mistakes or to overspend by a lot the projections for a pitcher few industry evaluators consider a No. 1 starter in the majors and who has a lot of miles on his arm.

The new $20 million posting ceiling for Japanese players is one of the reasons the Cubs even have a chance, with the ability to postpone payment of up to $6.6 million of it into next year’s budget.

All that effort and maneuverability by the Cubs’ baseball ops still isn’t expected to be enough to convince a 24-0 pitcher to join a last-place team that likely isn’t the highest bidder.

The Cubs’ top baseball offi-

cials steadfastly have refused to comment on their pursuit of Tanaka since general manager Jed Hoyer first said in November that the Cubs planned to be involved in the process.

Insiders are said to be skeptical of the club’s ability to win a bidding process they suspect might already have swamped them and are prepared to address their rotation needs elsewhere – although where that might be is anything but clear.

For now, they’re relying on the pitch their five-man contingent – including chairman Tom Ricketts and team president Theo Epstein – made to Tanaka and several representatives last week in Los Angeles.

“The points to him were that we’re a club that is on the upside. We’re a club that has a lot of talent besides the guys that we have presently,

that the organization has a lot of quality players coming up that are going to significantly impact the organization,” said Renteria, who was part of the group, along with Hoyer and Nao Masamoto, the Cubs’ video coordinator and Pacific Liaison, who helped translate.

“I thought it was a good presentation. He’s got a decision to make.”

Ricketts might have been better served by making a cash call on the family, assuming the bank covenants tied to the Cubs’ mammoth purchase debt doesn’t forbid that. (A source close to the business side of the operation said the family is allowed to spend its own money on players if it chooses.)

The deadline for Tanaka to make his decision under the Japanese posting system is 4 p.m. Jan. 24.

seed and will take on sixth-seeded LaMoille at 8 p.m. Monday in the quarterfinals.

“I think there’s probably several teams going in with the expectation that they might win it or get into that championship game,” Burks said. “Certainly there’s a good opportunity for some of those lower-seeded teams to get an upset in the first round.

“That’s what concerns me, we open against LaMoille on Monday night, that’s a team we had a tough time with in December when we went down to their place.”

Indian Creek is the No. 4 seed and will face No. 5 Somonauk at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Timberwolves could find themselves in the final with some solid play.

“There’s more teams that have a chance to win it than there have been in a long time,” Indian Creek coach Paul Muchmore said. “I think you’ve got a handful of teams that, if they play well, have a shot at winning it.”

POWER RANKINGS 1. Sycamore (13-4, 4-0 N. Illinois Big 12 East) Junior Bailey Gilbert is easily one of the best players in the area.

2. DeKalb (12-6, 4-1 NI Big 12 East) Big game against Kaneland tonight.

3. Kaneland (9-10, 2-1 NI Big 12 East) Knights have a chance to make a nice statement against the Barbs.

4. Hinckley-Big Rock (10-11, 5-2 Little Ten) Conference title hopes pretty much gone, but Royals have a shot to make a run in the LTC tourney.

5. Indian Creek (11-9, 5-2 LTC) Timberwolves the No. 4 seed in LTC tourney.

6. Genoa-Kingston (5-13, 1-5 Big Northern East) Cogs have been in a rough stretch.

Little Ten tournament a great tradition Hinckley-Big Rock coach Greg Burks has won two Class 1A state titles, three sectional championships and five straight regional crowns.

However, some of Burks’ cherished moments in his coaching career come from the Little Ten Conference tournament.

Each season, the LTC interupts regular conference play for a week and the teams go at it for a tournament title. It’s a nice change of pace and a long tradition. Burks said the girls tournament has been going on since the

MELBOURNE, Australia – Maria Sharapova toiled in 109-degree temperatures for more than 3½ hours on Rod Laver Arena and could count herself among the unlucky early starters Thursday at the oppressively hot Australian Open.

After organizers finally decided to suspend matches because of extreme temperatures in a heat wave gripping southeastern Australia, late lighting and rain caused further delays on day four.

Caroline Wozniacki highlighted the unpredictable Melbourne weather, describing the conditions as “pleasant” when she played on Rod Laver Arena immediately

after Sharapova. And comparatively, it was. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer also enjoyed the milder temperatures when they played evening matches indoors.

The roof at Rod Laver Arena re-opened when weather conditions improved, and Wimbledon champion Andy Murray won the last 23 points in the featured night match to come back from 5-1 down in the third set and beat French qualifier Vincent Millot, 6-2, 6-2, 7-5.

In the biggest upset so far at the tournament, No. 5-seeded Juan Martin del Potro ended a long day at Melbourne Park by losing his second-round match, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5, to Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut. The 3-hour, 53-minute match finished at 1:20 a.m. today (local time).

Bosnian Grand Mufti Husein Kavazovic (left), accompanied with Qatar’s state minister Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Ghaith bin Mubarak Al Kuwari (right), attend the opening ceremony of the Gazi Husrev-bey library in Sarajevo, on Wednesday. Sarajevo reopened the 477-year-old library that contains the biggest collection of oriental books and manuscripts in Southeast Europe, after it was rebuilt with the financial donation from Qatar. Dodging bullets and bombs during the 1992-95 Bosnian war and the city’s siege, Sarajevans moved the manuscripts eight times to different locations to save them from destruction.

Temple of Culture Bosnia opens library to house ancient manuscripts

By AIDA CERKEZ The Associated Press

S

ARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina – During Bosnia’s war and the siege of Sarajevo, residents

moved a collection of ancient books and manuscripts to eight different locations to save them from destruction.

On Wednesday, thanks to a $9 million donation from Qatar, Bosnia’s president and a Qatar minister opened a new library in the heart of the Ottoman-era Old Town section of Sarajevo to house those books and more than 100,000 manuscripts. The oldest is a handwritten Islamic encyclopedia that was written in Arabic in 1105.

The Gazi Husrev-bey Library is located on the site of a famous mosque and Islamic school of the same name that

was opened in 1531. The books and manuscripts were kept in 1537-1863, then moved to another building.

The new library stands where the original one did.

During Bosnia’s 1992-95 war, Serb artillery pounded the city for years, often targeting only cultural sites.

This is how Sarajevo’s National Library and the Oriental Institute were

completely destroyed in 1992.

About 3 million books went up in flames, along with hundreds of original documents from the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The texts from the smaller Gazi Husrev-bey’s Library were saved in time by residents who moved the manuscripts from basement to basement.

The reopening of the library was “a message to those who destroy and burn books and libraries that evil and hatred will never win,” Bosnian Presi-

dent Bakir Izetbegovic said.

Now, the most precious texts are protected by glass in the new library that can house over 400,000 books. Part of the building is a modern laboratory for the restoration of old manuscripts and several reading rooms where students and scholars can read the digital versions of the texts.

Qatar’s Islamic affairs minister, Ghaith bin Mubarak Al Kuwari, who took part in the opening ceremony, called the library a “temple of knowledge and culture” that will be open to

all people, regardless of their nationality and religion.

He explained that Qatar regards the Balkans as a strategically important region because of the different religions that have lived together here for centuries. Qatar also supports the efforts of the Balkan Muslims to serve Islam in a moderate way.

“We believe that people of the Balkans can do a lot for the peace in the world. They can intensify the dialogue between cultures and civilizations,” he said.

DeKalb Wesleyan hosts vocal ministry team DeKalb Wesleyan Church will host Redeemed, a vocal ministry team from Indiana Wesleyan University, at 6 p.m. Jan. 25.

Redeemed, a mixed vocal ensemble, exalts Christ through a balance of contemporary Christian and

traditional gospel music. As they glorify God through music and testimony, they remain a favorite among teens and adults alike.

Members of Redeemed are Brandon Lee (team leader), Zach Koch (sound technician), Bryce Joyner,

Becka Roth, Jenna Truty and Jeremy Tyler.

Indiana Wesleyan University is an Evangelical Christian comprehensive university that was founded in 1920 and is committed to liberal arts and professional education.

8RELIGION BRIEFS Protests at abortion clinics back at high court WASHINGTON – The regulation of protests outside abortion clinics returns to the Supreme Court this week for the first time since 2000.

The state of Massachusetts is defending a law that prohibits abortion protests any closer than 35 feet from the entrance to clinics.

Abortion opponents hoping to dissuade women from ending their pregnancies filed suit, saying the law limits their ability to encounter patients arriving for care. But federal courts in Massachusetts have upheld the law as a reasonable imposition on protesters’ rights. In 2000, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to uphold a different buffer zone in Colorado.

State officials and clinic employees say the buffer zones make patients and staff feel safer and find it easier to enter abortion clinics.

Kerry visits papal diplomat to talk peace VATICAN CITY – Intrigued by signals of an invigorated papal diplomacy, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has enlisted a new ally in his push for Mideast peace.

In a brief visit to the Vatican Tuesday, Kerry did not meet with Pope Francis but said he had wide-ranging discussions with the pope’s chief diplomat.

Kerry is the first American Roman Catholic secretary of

state to visit the Vatican since Edmund Muskie more than 30 years ago. He told reporters, “As an altar boy as a young kid, I would never have imagined that I would have been crossing the threshold of the Vatican to meet, as Secretary of State, with the Secretary of State of the Holy See.” Noting that the pope plans to visit the Holy Land in May, Kerry vowed to keep Francis informed on “what progress there may be in the peace process.”

lenged her firing by a school in Columbus didn’t get her job back. Carla Hale and the Diocese of Columbus reached an undisclosed settlement.

A jury in June found the Archdiocese of Cincinnati discriminated against a teacher who was fired after becoming pregnant via artificial insemination. Christa Dias, who isn’t Catholic, was awarded more than $170,000 after winning a federal anti-discrimination lawsuit against the archdiocese.

Engaged gay teacher forced to resign

ACLU raises questions about KCC email

TOLEDO, Ohio – An Ohio band and choir director says he knew that announcing his engagement to another man likely would mean he could no longer teach at a Roman Catholic school because of the church’s teachings on marriage.

Brian Panetta said he was forced to resign last week after he told administrators at Sandusky Central Catholic School about his engagement over the Christmas break.

In a letter to people associated with the school, Panetta calls himself “a proud and gay Catholic” who hopes the church will change its teachings on marriage.

Two other teachers at Catholic schools in Ohio have recently fought their firings over actions that administrators said went against teachings of the church.

TOPEKA, Kansas – The American Civil Liberties Union says an official email sent by a Kansas Corporation Commission employee discussing his religious beliefs may have opened the KCC to legal liability.

Jared Bowes, a KCC media specialist, tried to put a veiled reference to Jesus into the commission’s December newsletter, but it was edited out. Bowes then used his state-issued email address to send a message to his colleagues saying “King Jesus” is “the reason for the season.”

Doug Bonney, legal director for the ACLU Foundation of Kansas, says while state employees have free speech rights, problems arise when religious statements are made using the state email system.

Kids skip dad’s funeral but take his things Dear Abby: When my husband died, he didn’t have a lot of possessions. He died without a will, so what little he had is now with me. My problem is my mother-in-law keeps asking that I return things she gave him.

I wouldn’t mind if she has them, but she has been giving them to his children, who hated him and were rude and disrespectful. They neither called nor came to see him during his long illness. They didn’t even bother to come to his funeral.

I feel they want his things only because they think they might be of some value, not out of any respect or affection. My kids showed him more respect and love than his own did, and I’d rather they have his things.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Should I be honest and tell my mother-in-law why I won’t give her any more of his possessions? I just don’t know what to do. – Oklahoma Widow Dear Widow: It’s sad that your stepchildren ignored their father during his illness and chose to skip his funeral.

Be sure to point that out when you tell your former mother-in-law you have other plans for the items. She may not like hearing it, but once a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient. And because her son died without a will, the recipient is you, his widow.

Dear Abby: I recently started a new job. One of the management individuals has taken a strong interest in me. He keeps doing favors for me that benefit me financially and I appreciate it. (I have never asked him to do this.)

I have always been courteous and took his gestures as a sign of kindness. But now he has started complimenting me and talking about things that go way beyond conversation. It’s making me uncomfortable.

We have gone out on two friendly lunches before, and he is a genuine, kind, educated, wonderful man. He would be a great catch, but the problem is he is extremely overweight. I am emotionally attracted to him, but physically repelled. I can’t wait years

for him to lose the weight, but he is taking my kindness as a possible show of interest. Have you any advice that could help end his attraction, but continue the business advice he provides for me? – In A Spot in Tampa Dear In A Spot: When the man compliments you about anything that isn’t workconnected, tell him that when he does it, it makes you uncomfortable. And when he raises topics that aren’t business-related, steer the conversation right back where it belongs. He may be a kind, genuine, educated, wonderful person, but if he persists, it could be considered harassment.

Dear Abby: I am part of a group of neighbors who often go out to dinner

together. However, one woman often talks loudly on her cellphone at the dinner table, and it makes the rest of us feel uncomfortable and insignificant. It has gotten so bad we have stopped inviting her.

I feel sorry for her and wonder if I should explain the reason she’s being excluded.

What is the best way to handle this dilemma? – Friend in The Neighborhood Dear Friend: If done discreetly and kindly, it might benefit the woman to know why she’s no longer included.

Frankly, you’d be doing her a favor because her behavior was rude.

Strategies may slow macular degeneration Dear Dr. K: My ophthalmologist has told me I have “dry” AMD. What is this? What can I expect going forward?

Dear Reader: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the small part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. The retina is the back part of the eye. As light enters your eye, the lens of your eye focuses the light on the retina. The retina then sends signals to the back of your brain. It’s there that your brain translates those signals into vision – the image of the things you are looking at.

People with AMD often develop blurred or distorted vision. They cannot clearly see objects directly in front of them. Eventually they may

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff develop a blind spot in the middle of their field of vision.

In the earliest stages of AMD there often are no warning symptoms. (That’s one reason regular eye exams are important.) If the condition progresses to intermediate AMD, you may begin to notice blurring in the center of your vision. At the advanced stage, the blurred area increases, making it hard to read or even recognize people.

AMD rarely occurs before the age of 55. It then becomes more likely as you get older.

One study found it in more than 10 percent of people older than 84.

AMD occurs in two main forms: dry and wet. You mentioned you have the dry form – as do the vast majority of people with AMD. Some cases of dry AMD progress to the more serious wet form of the disease. Wet AMD can cause sudden vision loss.

The less-common AMD is called “wet” because the blood vessels in or underneath the retina start to leak fluid, which causes further damage to the retina.

Currently, the only treatment for dry AMD is vitamin supplementation combined with a well-balanced diet that includes dark green leafy vegetables and several

servings of fish per week.

Research shows that high doses of antioxidant vitamins and minerals can slow (and sometimes prevent) progression from intermediate to advanced AMD. You should also monitor your condition by regularly testing yourself at home with an Amsler grid test. You focus your eyes on a central dot on a grid. (The lines near the dot may appear wavy or be missing because of your AMD.) Routinely test each eye and contact your doctor if you notice any changes.

(I’ve put an illustration of the Amsler grid test on my website.)

Quitting smoking and wearing hats and sunglasses to block the sun’s blue wave-

lengths – which may promote AMD – may help reduce the severity of the disease.

If you have already lost some vision to AMD, low-vision aids can help. Examples include magnifying glasses, text-to-speech conversion software for your computer, audiobooks, and “talking” watches or alarm clocks.

A patient of mine who was an avid reader developed AMD in her early 70s. Unfortunately, reading became very difficult. For her, audiobooks and text-to-speech conversion of newspaper articles she accessed from electronic Internet subscriptions made a huge difference in her life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Find out all you can about things that interest you. Listening to what others have to say will give you a wide variety of options to consider and pursue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You may be forced to jump from one thing to another. Don’t dilly-dally or you will be criticized for being indecisive. Take action based on what works best for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stay out of emotional talks that you cannot win. Concentrate on learning about new people, places and pastimes. An interest in an unusual lifestyle will prompt domestic alterations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Consider making a personal investment or improvement to your home and your surroundings. A change in the way you live will inspire you to alter your vocational direction as well.

out.” – Nameless, Colorado Springs, Colo.

Nameless: Peyote is considered an illegal drug and comes from the peyote cactus, which grows in the Southwest U.S. and Mexico.

Certain Native American tribes have been using peyote in religious ceremonies for centuries.

Several years ago, the U.S. government gave the OK for peyote use in the religious services by members of Native American tribes who live in the United States.

Peyote is not permitted to be used by any other U.S. citizen.

8SUDOKU

Peyote can be smoked, or chewed and swallowed. Its prime purpose is to cause the user to hallucinate. The major dangers of this drug are psychosis, psychological dependence, paranoia and the instigation of irrational, potentially hazardous behavior.

Dr. Wallace: Why are television executives putting out tons of programs aimed at teens? We have some money to buy advertised products, but we are limited in our cash outlay. – Michael, Talladega, Ala. Michael: Teens might not have ready cash, but often

they have a tremendous influence on how the family budget is disbursed, from the food on the dinner plate to the automobile in the garage.

Manufacturers and television executives both are aware of this teen power.

Entertaining teens with television programs aimed at their interests isn’t their prime concern. It’s their money, and today, the teen market is hot.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

A deal to declare or to defend In golf, there is usually more than one way to hit a shot to the green – assuming, of course, you are skillful enough to do that.

In bridge, many deals give only one side a chance to do something meritorious: declarer or the defense. But sometimes both sides will have an opportunity, although one side might require the other to err. That applies in this deal.

Would you prefer to declare or defend in three no-trump after West leads a diamond to dummy’s bare ace?

If you like to declare, look at only the North-South hands and plan the play.

Alternatively, cover the West and South hands. At trick two, declarer leads the club king from the board. How would you, East, defend?

South starts with only six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds.

The other tricks must come from clubs, but dummy is short of entries. South should be happy to lose two club tricks and to do it as quickly as possible. So, at trick two, he leads a low club from the board. After that, everything is under control. If the defenders must get two tricks in a suit you wish to establish, make them take those tricks as quickly as possible.

If South makes the mistake of starting with a club honor at trick two, East can defeat the contract by ducking, letting declarer take the trick.

Then South lacks the dummy entries to establish and run the suit.
