More snow is possible for today Forecast calls for 1 to 2 inches

By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com The weekend blizzard brought enough ice and snow to DeKalb County roads to cause about 200 vehicle slideoffs and accidents – but it didn’t stop Madyson Huntington from enjoying a day off from Genoa-Kingston Elementary School.

Huntington, 7, was one of dozens of children Monday at Russell Woods in Genoa enjoying the snow hill. After sledding twice, Huntington estimated her downhill speed to be somewhere about 50 mph.

“It’s really fun,” Huntington said. “When you go over the bumps, you fly up in the air.”

In DeKalb, 16 inches of snow had been reported, and 17 inches was measured in Somonauk, said Casey Sullivan, meteorologist at the National Weather Service.

Today’s forecast Snow will move into the area about 3 p.m., piling on another inch or two to the weekend’s storm total, but taper off around midnight.

Sarah Flower hands her husband, Bryan Flower, some hay to feed their goats Saturday on their Red House Farm in Lee. They grow the hay on their 12-acre farm to sustain the goats and cows they raise for milk. They also get fresh eggs from their hens. “We like to know where our food comes from,” Bryan Flower said.

FARMING SMALL

Although schools will be back in session today and things largely are returning to normal, more snow is on the way today. Another inch or two is expected to fall beginning as early as 3 p.m., creating a slippery commute home but tapering off about midnight.

“Please do not hit the panic button,” NIU meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste said. “This is

Emerging trends connecting people with locally grown food

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com LEE – Bryan Flower seriously questioned his decision to run a small farm when he had to wrangle a testosterone-filled bull in the pouring rain.

A lightning strike had disabled the electric fence surrounding the bull, allowing the 700-pound animal to strut toward the cows.

It took a tractor chase to drive the bull back into its corral.

Despite the challenges Flower has encountered since he and his wife, Sarah, started farming three years ago, he hasn’t questioned his decision seriously enough to stop. In fact, he only hopes to grow his 12-acre farm in Lee. “It’s a very rewarding process,” Flower said. “It’s a fun process, and it’s one that I really wanted my son to be able to experience.”

Flower runs one of the hundreds of small farms that the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports are in DeKalb County.

Those small-scale farmers represent an emerging and determined group of people returning to the land in hopes of connecting local people with locally grown food.

The number of acres a farm includes has no bearing on whether it is considered “small” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rather, a farm is deemed small if it has annual sales less than $350,000, although the standard used to be $250,000 before last summer, said Andrew Larson, University of Illinois Extension local food system and small farms educator.

That includes many if not most of the farms in DeKalb County. According to the USDA’s Census of Agriculture released in 2014, 522 of the 880 farms in the county have annual sales less than $250,000.

Larson said small-scale farmers generally fall into three categories: idealists

Obama’s budget: Tax rich, help poor

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Promising to help America’s middle class, President Barack Obama on Monday sent Congress a record $4 trillion budget that would hammer corporate profits overseas and raise taxes on the wealthy while boosting tax credits for families and the working poor.

Obama’s budget also would steer hundreds of billions of dollars to the nation’s crumbling infrastructure of roads and bridges, help provide two years of free community college and reverse the across-theboard, automatic budget cuts that have slammed the Pentagon and nearly every government department.

In the face of certain opposi-

tion from Republicans, an optimistic Obama hailed a “breakthrough year for America” of new jobs, lower unemployment and shrinking deficits after the great recession of 2008, and he called for moving past years of “mindless austerity.”

The blueprint for the 2016 budget year that begins Oct. 1 represents a 6.4 percent increase over estimated spending this year, projecting that the deficit will decline to $474 billion.

However, Obama’s plan ignores the new balance of power in Washington, with Republicans running both the House and Senate.

The GOP found plenty to criticize in his proposed tax hikes that would total about

Tips for small-scale farmers • GET EXPERIENCE: Intern or volunteer to learn about the labor a farm requires and what kind of farming you like.

• MAKE A PLAN: It doesn’t have to be a fullblown marketing plan, but you should know where you want the farm to go.

• REMEMBER MARKETING: Spend about as much time marketing items as producing them.

For Flower, 46, the decision came when he was working in the culinary program at Robert Morris University in Chicago.

He and his wife purchased property in Lee complete with a house and a 1930s barn, just inside the DeKalb County border.

They call it the Red House Farm, spending about $30,000 to add about 60 hens, five goats, about 10 hogs in the summer, honeybees and a handful of Dexter cattle, a small-breed of cow.

That’s not to mention the tomatoes, peppers, beets, onion, potatoes, hay and other produce they grow.

Reston, Johnson share Sycamore ties DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader Many longtime Sycamore residents will remember the famous New York Times writer and editor who married a local girl named Sarah “Sally” Fulton, whose father, William Fulton, was a justice on the Illinois Supreme Court.

Probably a lot fewer residents today know the name Dirk Johnson, another journalist who spent much of his career with the New York Times, graduating from Sycamore High School in 1976, followed by earning a degree from the University of Wisconsin and then many years reporting for the Times in various locations.

First, a little about James “Scotty” Reston, who met his future wife, Sally Fulton, at the University of Illinois which they both attended. He went on to become a nationally-known journalist for the New York Times, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, nationally-syndicated columnist and executive editor of the paper over the years. I’ll write more about him in a future column.

This week I want to highlight the ongoing career of Dirk Johnson, a local product who continues to write for the news media as well as authoring books.

His recent project as a co-author with Robert Carr is titled “Through the Fires: An American Business Story.” It heralds the life of Carr, who overcame adversity early in life to start up a credit card processing business that made millions, only to lose it through a data breach, then make a remarkable comeback.

He also established the Give

Dirk Johnson spends hours at his laptop on the kitchen counter of his Somonauk Street house in Sycamore that he has owned since 1996, preferring to report and write from home instead of a high-rise office in downtown Chicago.

Something Back Foundation to help deserving students get an education. It is more than just a success story, but an inspiring guide for wouldbe entrepreneurs on how to remain ethical and honest in their chosen profession.

This was Johnson’s first joint book project, but he has two earlier titles to his credit.

The first one came about when he was working in the Denver news bureau for the Times and was assigned a rodeo story.

Never having been to one before, he went behind the scenes to talk with cowboys and learned of their tough lives on the road. That sparked an idea for a true-life

tale titled “Biting the Dust: The Wild Ride and Dark Romance of the Rodeo Cowboy in the American West.”

His second book was also generated by a story assignment, this time back in the Times’ Chicago bureau where he covered the harrowing methamphetamine drugs and meth lab problems. That book is named “Meth: America’s Home-Cooked Menace.”

Once he had spent a second stint with the Times for six years in Chicago, they wanted to move him elsewhere, but after putting down roots for his family with four youngsters in Sycamore schools, he instead accepted a job offer as Chicago News Bureau Chief

for Newsweek, until it was shuttered in 2006.

Although his kids have moved on to college, one now at Columbia Law School, another in grad school at Columbia, the third at Harvard and the youngest attending his alma mater at the University of Wisconsin, Johnson prefers to stay put in Sycamore where he writes from home, utilizing his laptop on the dining room table or kitchen counter. He freelances for the Times now, plus takes other assignments from magazines like Chicago.

Johnson has also become a professional speechwriter for corporate America. In addition to that, he spent seven years as a part-time Writer in Residence at NIU. That included speaking for the university at other colleges, conferences, and serving on the board of the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association.

He said his philosophy about Sycamore is similar to something Reston wrote many years back. This community is a barometer of middle America and provides a good sounding board for what people are thinking. He had even corresponded briefly with Reston about their Sycamore ties before Reston’s retirement and death at age 86 in 1995.

Johnson’s next project? A book is in the making with a working title “Shackled,” about the exorbitant college student loan debt and how it impacts students’ lives for decades in the future.

More winter after Willie sees shadow

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The weekend’s storm may be over, but McHenry County residents still have a long way to go, according to Woodstock Willie, who reluctantly clambered out of his tree stump Monday morning only to see his dreaded shadow.

Despite the news that six more weeks of winter are yet to come, the people who gathered to watch the local tradition seemed to be having a good time. Minutes before Willie was set to emerge, residents and visitors shivered over to the square in anticipation of his appearance.

One couple from Oak Lawn braved Sunday’s blizzard just to be there.

“Well, we booked it a week and a half ago,” Brett Glaser said.

Glaser’s girlfriend, Carla Trezzo, added they weren’t about to let the storm stop them from seeing in person what they only knew existed

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Handler Mark Szafran presents Woodstock Willie to the crowd that gathered Monday morning on the Woodstock Square for the Groundhog Day Prognostication. Willie predicted six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow. one year ago.

“We heard about it last year, and I just thought it was so funny,” Trezzo said. “And it was something different to do.”

That’s the great thing about the Woodstock tradition – it brings people from everywhere, said Rick Bellairs, a member of the Woodstock

Groundhog Days Committee.

He pointed out that people came from Los Angeles and Louisville, Kentucky. There was even a couple from Germany.

“Considering the weather, I think we had a good turnout,” Bellairs said, adding there were probably about 150 peo-

ple.

He and other committee members repeatedly sang the praises of the city of Woodstock for its efforts to clear the streets overnight to allow the event to continue.

After the “seer of all seers” signaled an extended winter, the crowd dispersed to local restaurants and businesses to enjoy the last day of a weeklong celebration.

Bellairs said his interest in Groundhog Day stretches back more than a decade, since he was an extra in the movie that has made Woodstock the iconic Groundhog Day site it’s become. The holiday, he said, comes at a time when not much else is happening to bring a community together.

“It’s in the middle of winter, the holidays are over, so what else are you going to do?” Bellairs said. “It’s just something fun and most of our events are free. If there is a cost, the money raised goes to civic organizations and charities. It’s just a fun thing to do.”

NIU students cut loose with day off snowball fight

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Hitting your classmates with snowballs beats hitting the books, some Northern Illinois University students learned Monday.

More than 100 NIU students flocked to Central Park on the NIU campus while classes were canceled to engage in a snowball war that junior Michael Payne organized.

“Right now, I’d probably be in class,” Payne said while students screamed and pelted each other with snowballs behind him. “This is much better than class.”

NIU canceled Monday classes on Sunday, prompting Payne, 20, to start a Facebook event for a snowball fight.

Students with the last names in the first half of the alphabet wore red while the rest of the students wore black.

The groups started with a chant while standing a few dozen yards apart before they charged with snowballs at the ready.

Senior Walker Steinke, 23, was hurling snowballs from a pile made before the fight started.

He said his only method was anarchy, a welcome change from his everyday class schedule.

“We get to do something that isn’t just school,” he said. “We actually get to enjoy this weather in a way that’s a little more fun.”

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Mia McMahon, a sophomore at Northern Illinois University, throws a snowball Monday in Central Park, between Grant Towers and Stevenson Hall on campus. NIU canceled Monday classes because of the weekend snowfall.

Online For more photos and a video of the student-organized snowball fight, visit Daily-Chronicle.com.

Some students came with snowball tactics.

Payne preferred to use snowballs that were premade, but others chose to hoard large chunks of snow so they could break them over other people.

One student came with a small bucket to make snowball pyramids before the fight started.

Senior Lauren Robak, 22, thought tackling people was the most effective method.

Her friend Casey Heuer, a 24-year-old graduate student also thought so, tackling Robak before flinging snow at her.

For their friend Marissa Murphy, a 20-year-old junior,

sticking with a team was the key. She said there were more people to team up with than she expected.

“It’s really cool to see people from all over campus come out here, like people that I don’t normally see,” Murphy said. “So I’m glad they set this up, and I’m glad I came.”

The fight did some good other than helping students enjoy the 16 inches of snow the National Weather Service reported fell on DeKalb over the weekend.

Students donated the $41 collected from participants to TAILS Humane Society, Payne reported.

He didn’t know how many people would venture into the cold for the snowball fight, but he was happy to see that so many did.

“I’ve never done anything like this,” Payne said. “Snowball fights when I was a kid were like 10 people. This is cool for sure.”

LOCAL BRIEFS No injuries reported in Kingston car fire KINGSTON – Jennifer Del Real was unharmed after her car started on fire while stuck in the snow early Monday morning, police said.

According to a news release from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, Del Real, 41, of the 1900 block of north Hickory Street, Crest Hill, was driving a 2013 Honda sedan west on Baseline Road, a half-mile west of Annie Glidden Road about 5 a.m. Monday when her car got stuck in the snow. While she was waiting for help, her car’s engine caught fire.

Police reported Del Real was able to get out of the car. A passing motorist gave Del Real a ride back to a residence in Kirkland.

Rauner issues medical marijuana licenses

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner awarded licenses Monday to dozens of medical marijuana businesses across the state after conducting an internal review that found flaws in the never-completed license award process under former Gov. Pat Quinn.

Letters to 18 winning cultivation centers and 52 retail shops were sent out Monday afternoon, Rauner spokesman Lance Trover told The Associated Press.

However, it does not appear that any supplier or dispensary for DeKalb County has been selected. The state has not reported receiving any applications for a dispensary for DeKalb County; the cultivation center license for Illinois State Police

District 2 is to be awarded after further review, the governor’s office said Monday.

In eight districts, Rauner delayed the licenses for further review, leaving those jurisdictions awaiting word on which companies will be able to join what could be a $36 million industry in 2016.

“I believe the right companies were rewarded,” said Tim McGraw, CEO of ACE Revolution Cannabis, which won licenses to build marijuana-growing facilities in the Illinois cities of Delavan and Barry. “We’re excited to get to work to bring safe medicine to the patients of Illinois.”

Letters sent to the cultivation center winners from the Department of Agriculture inform them of a number of conditions.

Businesses will need to pay

a license fee, for example, and they’ll be subject to ongoing oversight during the startup process.

The license awards come after many weeks of uncertainty after the Quinn administration failed to meet its own deadline of issuing the permits by the end of 2014.

The Democrat announced the morning of Rauner’s inauguration that he would leave the issue for the Republican to decide.

The Associated Press reported last week, based on documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request, that Quinn’s office was scrambling to decide whether to issue licenses on the eve of his leaving.

The Rauner administration launched its review of the process almost immediately.

Medical patients had been

pushing Quinn to issue the licenses. Rauner’s action Monday means that Illinois’ first legal marijuana crop could be harvested this year.

It’s not immediately clear how long it will be before patients will have access to the first legal cannabis.

State Rep. Lou Lang, the Skokie Democrat who sponsored the legislation that created the pilot program, praised Rauner for issuing the licenses.

He said although the Republican governor inherited a program with several problems and has indicated he is not a big fan of medical cannabis, his office managed to carefully review the process and issue licenses with only three weeks of delay.

“Gov. Rauner deserves a lot of credit here,” Lang said. “It’s great for patients.”

State Democrats content to wait for Rauner proposals

“I think until we hear a State of the State, until we see him advance his budget, it’s going to be difficult for us to have something to play off of,” said House Assistant Majority Lou Lang, a Skokie Democrat.

In the meantime, Lang said, “you’re going to have some Democrats talking about the needs in the social service community, the needs in education,

needing a capital [construction] bill, various things in the coming weeks. But certainly this process is really going to have to start with the governor.”

As they begin a new legislative session, Democratic leaders acknowledge that addressing the state’s potential $5.7 billion budget hole by July is by far the most pressing issue.

Last spring, the Democrats

passed a $35.7 billion budget that didn’t allocate enough money to cover state expenses, anticipating that lawmakers could return after the election to take up a proposal to extend an income tax increase.

But House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats, put off voting on taxes, saying they were heeding Rauner’s calls to not address “substantive” issues until his January inauguration.

Madigan is no stranger to tense budget negotiations after controlling the House for 30 years. Steve Brown, his spokesman, said it was “impossible” to comment on Democrats’ plans, because Rauner had not yet offered a specific proposal.

He said the House would have to look hard at any Rauner proposals to raise revenues, such as a temporary restoration of the increase tax bump, including “a detailed plan on how the money would be spent.”

Rauner said during the campaign he opposed extending the income tax increase, but later said he would be open to incrementally rolling it back.

taxpayers from future large payouts. Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton said residents “are demanding action.”

One bill would cap the size of severance payouts. Another would make severance agreements subject to the state’s open records law so the public could review them.

Rep. Ron Sandack is sponsoring a measure that would reduce the state money a community college receives if its trustees take similar action.

College of DuPage trustees voted last week to give President Robert Breuder nearly three times his base salary when he retires in March 2016 – three years before his contract expires.

million to fund the program through June 30.

Department officials, in a letter last week, warned that payment delays are expected to “get progressively longer” and services may be cut.

“Please try to adjust your bills to accommodate the new schedule,” the letter to parents and providers read, adding “we know you have financial obligations that will be difficult to honor because of the payment delays. You may show this notice to your creditors so they are aware that the payment from the state is delayed and will be delayed for the rest of the fiscal year.”

The problem comes from the $35.7 billion budget lawmakers passed last spring.

The plan didn’t allocate enough money to pay for expenses while

a debate on whether to extend the state’s income tax increase was pushed off.

Heeding new Gov. Bruce Rauner’s request not to address any “substantive” issues until his inauguration in January, lawmakers didn’t address the issue in their fall veto session, and the increase rolled back Jan. 1.

A roughly $2 billion revenue gap is expected by the end of the fiscal year in June.

While lawmakers said they believe money can be reallocated from other areas of the budget, no immediate solution is yet in sight.

The issue is expected to be an early test for Rauner. He’s pledged to keep “essential” government services functioning but hasn’t provided specifics.

An estimated 100,000 low-income families rely on discount-

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – In the inevitable chess game unfolding in the state Capitol this year over how to fix Illinois’ woeful budget, Democratic lawmakers said their first move is watching new Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner make his.

House and Senate Democrats will seek to protect their own interests and constituencies in eventual negotiations with Rauner.

While he speaks of the need for steep budget cuts, they’ll likely seek to protect social services, state workers and Medicaid recipients, and many were ready last spring to support an extension of the income tax increase that expired in January.

But they’re keeping their playbook close to the vest as Rauner prepares to lay out his priorities beginning with Wednesday’s State of the State speech. They talk of deferring to the governor, but experts said they also are content to let him assume responsibility for a healthy share of the financial pain to come.

Obama asks $50M cut in Great Lakes restoration ANN ARBOR, Mich. – President Barack Obama’s proposed budget for 2016 seeks what it calls a $50 million “modest reduction” in a multi-year program to clean up the Great Lakes.

The president’s spending plan released Monday requests $250 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, down from $300 million appropriated for this year.

The program focuses on the lakes’ most serious long-term ecological challenges such as invasive species, toxic pollution, degraded fish and wildlife habitat and runoff from farms and cities that causes toxic algae blooms.

Obama created the program after taking office in 2009. About $1.9 billion has been spent on

about 2,000 projects regionwide.

U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said she was “extremely disappointed” at the proposed budget cut and said she favored an increase to $475 million in the coming fiscal year for the initiative.

“With so many water quality challenges, we need to continue to invest in the health of our Great Lakes and waterways for years to come,” Stabenow said in a statement.

Todd Ambs, campaign director of the Ann Arbor-based Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition, said in a statement that the proposed cut is unacceptable. The president sought a $25 million reduction last year, but Congress kept the program at $300 million.

Sycamore woman grows Plow drivers used buddy system to keep roads clean food for the community • WEATHER Continued from page A1

Across the county in Sycamore, 30-year-old Kate Whitacre is in the final days before she starts preparing seeds to grow on a half-acre plot she rents.

Unlike the Flowers, whose customers mostly are friends and family, Whitacre runs a community-supported agriculture farm where people pay her at the beginning of the growing season to receive a box of vegetables weekly during the summer.

“I feel it’s most fulfilling to grow food for a community that I know,” Whitacre said. “I think it’s wonderful to know the people I’m feeding.”

Whitacre has been farming since 2008, arriving in Sycamore with her husband, Brett, in 2013 to start Beets and Beats Farm.

On top of the weekly shares, Whitacre sells produce at the Sycamore Farmers Market and to a couple of restaurants in Chicago. Whitacre works the farm and raises her daughter

while her husband works fulltime as an artist and musician.

Her goal is to grow her land 20-fold in the next 20 years.

She also hopes to see more small farms emerge, although she thinks some challenges such as the inability to get farm loans or subsidies for growing things other than commodity crops such as corn and soybeans will stand in the way for some.

The small-scale farming market will need to mature to thrive, and Larson said there’s a good chance it will. He sees the surge in local foods and small-scale farming as more than a fad.

To him, it’s a lifestyle that will not only sustain the county’s agricultural tradition, but make it more vibrant.

“It means there is a chance to reconnect with the way things taste when they’re vine ripe and fresh,” Larson said.

“It means the entrepreneurial gene is alive and well. It’s a way to keep our rural landscape populated with people doing productive things.”

Republicans to respond with own plan in spring • BUDGET Continued from page A1 $1.5 trillion.

Republicans cited the nation’s $18 trillion debt and assailed what they call Obama’s tax-and-spend policies for failing to address the spiraling growth of benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

“Today, President Obama laid out a plan for more taxes, more spending, and more of the Washington gridlock that has failed middle-class families,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “This plan never balances – ever.”

Republicans aren’t offering specifics yet but will respond this spring with their own plan, a balanced-budget outline promising to get rid of “Obamacare,” ease the burdens of the national debt on future generations, curb the explosive growth of expensive benefit programs and reform a loophole-cluttered tax code in hopes of promoting economic growth.

While Obama’s plan was rejected out of hand on budget day, proposals to ease automatic cuts and boost transportation funding are likely to return later in the year and require extensive negotiation.

“These proposals are practical, not partisan,” Obama said of his overall plans. “They’ll help working families feel more secure with paychecks that go further, help American work-

ers upgrade their skills so they can compete for higher-paying jobs, and help create the conditions for our businesses to keep generating good new jobs for our workers to fill.”

Some people would pay more. Many wealthy Americans would be able to take tax deductions at the 28 percent rate even if their incomes were taxed at 39.6 percent, and some would also see an increase in their maximum capital gains rate.

However, a couple earning up to $120,000 a year would qualify for a new “second earner” tax credit of up to $500 as well as a maximum $3,000 perchild tax credit for child care for up to two children, triple the current credit of $1,000.

Obama’s initiatives to tax the wealthy and to welcome an influx of immigrants into the United States are going nowhere in the new GOP-run Congress.

But there is a bipartisan desire to ease automatic spending cuts that are the product of Washington’s failures to cut deficits beyond an initial round in 2011. Both Republicans and Democrats are howling that such broad cuts savage the Pentagon. Obama said he won’t give more money to the Pentagon without receiving domestic funds he wants.

“It would be bad for our security and bad for our growth,” Obama said Monday at the Department of Homeland Security.

only going to produce one to two inches at best. These aren’t two systems merging into one monster like the last one.”

County trucks began plowing streets about 3 a.m. Monday, County Engineer Nathan Schwartz said. To prevent issues that could be caused by the snow and ice, crews plowed streets using the buddy system – two trucks responded to the same roadways at the same time, Schwartz said.

“Now our major roadways have been hit and the snow has been pushed off,” he said.

“That’s not to say the roads are perfectly clean. There’s a lot of snow-pack and ice in certain locations.”

At least one plow experienced some difficulty, however. A state highway plow truck driven by a 57-year-old Waterman man backed into a 2014 Ford Escape about 6 a.m.

Monday, according to a DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Both vehicles were heading west on Route 30 east of Route 23 near Waterman, when the plow truck driver backed up, did not see the Escape and struck its front bumper area, the release states.

Although it was sunny Monday, the single-digit temperatures did little to heat the pavement enough to melt any snow, and it was too cold for salt to be effective, Schwartz said.

But the county’s plows still were effective enough to make the roads safe enough for residents to head to Russell Woods to take advantage of the large sledding hill.

South Elgin residents Nakeita Brewer, her sister Shianne Brewer and their friends Becky Kozuch and Anessa Mendoza piled out of Brewer’s car and grabbed their inflatable tube out of the trunk before trucking toward the hill.

“We make a trip every year,” said Nakeita Brewer, 22.

“It’s the nicest hill – big, fast and a lot of friendly people.”

“I love the winter, this doesn’t bother me,” she said.

“This is better than last year.”

Meanwhile, the city of DeKalb lifted the parking restriction on posted snow routes at noon Monday. DeKalb fire officials asked people to help keep their neighborhoods safe by clearing snow away from fire hydrants on the parkways.

From Saturday night, when snowfall first began, to 3 p.m.

Monday, the Sheriff’s Office responded to more than 185 calls for vehicles in ditches and other motor vehicle accidents, according to a news release.

Of those calls, four were nonlife-threatening personal

injury accidents.

“We’ve been very busy [Monday] morning and [Sunday] night assisting motorists,” said Gary Dumdie, the

Sheriff’s Chief Deputy.

He stressed the importance of motorists cleaning their headlights, tail lights and, especially, their brake lights.

NATION BRIEFS Justices reconsider stance on cameras in court Two Supreme Court justices who once seemed open to the idea of cameras in the courtroom said Monday they have reconsidered those views, dashing hopes that April’s arguments over gay marriage might be televised.

In separate appearances, Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor said allowing cameras might lead to grandstanding that could fundamentally change the nature of the high court.

Sotomayor told an audience in West Palm Beach, Florida, that cameras could change the behavior of both the justices and lawyers appearing at the court, who might succumb to “this temptation to use it as a stage rather than a courtroom.”

During her confirmation hearings in 2009, Sotomayor told lawmakers she had a positive experience with cameras and would try to soften other justices’

opposition to cameras.

Speaking at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, Kagan told an audience she is “conflicted” about the issue and both sides have strong arguments.

Christie: Parents deserve choice on vaccinations CAMBRIDGE, England – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Monday parents should have some choice on whether to vaccinate their children, a position he’s taken before but one that drew a new level of attention amid a U.S. measles outbreak and his recent moves toward running for president.

The political significance of Christie’s remarks was amplified by his office a short time later, when it released a statement saying the governor believes “with a disease like measles there is no question kids should be vaccinated.”

Program provides haircuts to the homeless For Hair Cuttery, the spirit of giving doesn’t stop with the holidays; it’s an ongoing mission.

Last year, the Share a Haircut program was expanded to help not just children headed back to school, but the homeless, victims of domestic abuse and veterans.

The program continues into 2015, beginning with haircuts for the homeless.

For every haircut purchased today, a free haircut certificate will be donated back to a homeless person local to one of Hair Cuttery’s 900 salons.

By partnering with local shelters and community organizations, Hair Cuttery will work to distribute certificates to those who need them most.

Hair Cuttery hopes to reach 35,000 homeless people in the communities it serves.

As you are reading this, I will be joining more than 500 tourism professionals at the 2015 Governor’s Conference on Tourism.

The conference is the state’s premier travel education forum and the Illinois travel industry’s go-to event of the year.

It brings together the tourism industry’s leading players to share insights, research, viewpoints and trends.

We’ll gain information and tools to help us grow the revenue generated from tourism spending as well as keep up-todate on travel trends and new markets.

Tourism is driving economic recovery and development in Illinois. In 2013, Illinois welcomed a record-breaking 105.7 million visitors, who poured $34.6 billion into the state’s economy.

Gov. Bruce Rauner appointed Cory Jobe as the new tourism director in January. Jobe resides in Springfield and most recently worked with the late Judy Baar Topikna as deputy

He has championed tourism and economic development throughout his career. We look forward to meeting with him at the Governor’s Conference as he presents his goals and strategies to promote Illinois tourism and continue to grow the dollars that tourism spending generates for Illinois.

We also are working on filing our recertification with the Illinois Office of Tourism, which is required of all certified bureaus in March.

One of the most time-consuming and essential things we do is raise the required local funds to be eligible for matching grant dollars awarded to certified bureaus.

For every local dollar raised, the Illinois Office of Tourism matches it. This allows us to double marketing

dollars to promote our area and generate more revenue from tourism spending.

More than 450 hotel room nights have been booked in both DeKalb and Sycamore for upcoming events. That is $40,500 in revenue if you average out the cost of a hotel room at $90 a night. That estimate doesn’t include the food and gas that will be purchased during these events or the cost of the rental of our local venues and services.

OUR VIEW

Measuring the important issues

My mistakes about the 2016 race As this January has rolled on, it’s become clear I’ve made many mistakes about the 2016 presidential race.

One is that I assumed Jeb Bush wouldn’t run. I thought that Bush would be deterred by concerns about his family, business ties and his rustiness. I thought he would be deterred by the unease over nominating the son and brother of former presidents and the overshadowing, for many Republicans, of his fine conservative record as governor by his stands on immigration and Common Core. I was wrong again.

Similarly, I’m somewhat surprised that Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabee have apparently entered the race. Jeb Bush gave Rubio support when the national party establishment tried to make him drop out of the 2010 Senate race. But Rubio seems to be running nonetheless.

And Huckabee in 2008, despite his articulateness, good humor and solid debate performances, never got more than minimal support from nonevangelical primary voters or caucusgoers. It’s not clear why he thinks he can do better this time.

The lesson, I think, is that potential presidential candidates make a calculation. If I run this time, especially in a cycle like 2016 in which there are many candidates and new rules, my chances of becoming president may not be great. But if I don’t run, my chances are zero.

Similar calculations seem to be made by others. Rand Paul’s noninterventionist foreign policy (let’s not call it isolationist) seemed a year ago to have a sizeable constituency among primary voters and the general electorate. But after Islamic State terrorists took over much of Syria and Iraq

VIEWS Michael Barone and started beheading Americans, that constituency seems to have shrunk. Paul is plugging on nonetheless.

Ted Cruz is a brilliant appellate lawyer and as articulate a debater as any politician in my lifetime. But his push for the October 2013 government shutdown did not kill Obamacare and, briefly, hurt the party by taking the spotlight off the healthcare.gov rollout. He’s clearly running nonetheless.

Chris Christie seems to have weathered the Bridgegate supposed scandal. But New Jersey’s fiscal and economic woes undercut his appeal, as do those pictures of his post-Sandy embrace of Obama. No problem: He was out at the Steve King-Citizens United Iowa Freedom Summit last weekend.

The big star there by most accounts was Scott Walker, who stirred the crowd by recounting his three victories over the liberal/ public employee union mobs in Wisconsin and his pocketful of coupons for shopping at (Wisconsin-based) Kohl’s. But he shows little foreign policy chops.

His fellow Wisconsinite Paul Ryan did bow out – the exception, not the rule. Rick Perry comes well prepared to avoid another “oops” moment this time; Bobby Jindal speaks rapidly of faith as well as policy; Rick Santorum promises to run as doggedly as he did last time; Dr. Ben Carson speaks softly to his clamoring admirers; Carly Fiorina proclaims that she has as many frequent

flier miles as Hillary Clinton but has also accomplished something.

Largely, missing from the debuts of the Republican candidates are detailed discussions of public policy or a set of priorities for their putative presidencies.

Congressional Republicans, if the Supreme Court rules against the Obama administration in King v. Burwell this spring, will have to grapple with how to alter Obamacare. The choices are laid out in my Washington Examiner colleague Philip Klein’s e-book “Overcoming Obamacare.”

Congressional Republicans are far from consensus and aren’t getting much guidance from the would-be presidential candidates.

There’s not much policy guidance either from Hillary Clinton, who currently towers above potential rivals – Jim Webb, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley – for the Democratic nomination.

Mike Allen of Politico has a typically well-sourced preview of the Clinton campaign effort, chock full of names of experienced advisers and the 1970s singer Carole King.

But the tipoff comes in the last sentence: “Now that the architecture of the campaign is clear, the two [advisers] are helping with the next critical task: developing her message.”

Oh, that. My mistake: I thought she’d have developed one by now.

No sympathy for Super Bowl ticket brokers

By STEPHEN CARTER Bloomberg News As an interesting coda to the most thrilling Super Bowl in recent years, I’d like to point to an unintentionally hilarious article at ESPN.com about the travails of ticket brokers who were unable to fulfill customer orders for the event. Evidently it has become common for brokers to engage in short selling, charging their clients heavy markups for tickets the brokers don’t own but hope to pick up later for less than the contract price. This year, prices never fell, and the brokers couldn’t fulfill the orders.

Now, you might respond that this is always the risk in short selling: The market moves against you, you can’t cover your position, you take a bath. That’s exactly right.

The puzzle is why we should have sympathy for the brokers who bet the wrong way.

According to the story, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich “suggests that it’s possible for the league to help alleviate market manipulation in the future by holding back tickets and releasing them closer to the game, just like some high-profile entertainers have been known to do.”

Huh? What market manipulation? The brokers didn’t manipulate the market; they guessed wrong. They were punished for it,

offering their clients refunds of twice or more what was paid for the undelivered tickets. Probably most took hits to their reputations, as well. This all is as it should be.

Moreover, the proposed solution doesn’t make sense. Consider the National Football League’s point of view. The only reason the brokers exist is that the NFL has created a secondary market by selling Super Bowl tickets below the market-clearing level. If a fan is willing to pay $2,000 for a ticket with a face value of $1,000, the league could simply price the ticket at $2,000 and cut out the middleman. Why doesn’t this happen?

There are many reasons a for-profit business might choose to price its goods below market-clearing levels. One stands out in this case: the positive value of buzz.

Think about Beanie Babies. The stuffed animals were intentionally priced below the market-clearing level because the manufacturer wanted the secondary market to exist.

The trading in Beanie Babies, along with the limited quantity of each model, helped maintain excitement about the product itself.

Every year at Super Bowl time, the networks run stories about how much tickets are going for. This helps the NFL to present the game as an exciting event everyone should care about. The league makes most of its money from advertising, not ticket

sales. Ad dollars rise with viewership. The league has plainly made the calculation that the buzz about how much people are willing to pay for tickets in the secondary market is more valuable than the returns that come from charging more in the first place.

For the NFL to hold back a large block of tickets for later release would be inconsistent with this plan. It’s true that the ticket brokers who lost out are participants in the secondary market that the league itself has created. But that doesn’t mean they should be rewarded for betting the wrong way.

The market wasn’t manipulated. The market worked, and worked well. The public anticipated a great Super Bowl, and tickets were quickly bid up to the market-clearing level. The short sellers got caught holding orders they couldn’t fill.

That happens to short sellers all the time. If short sellers never lost money, everybody would do it. And if this particular tale of short selling didn’t happen to involve football, nobody would care.

The ESPN.com article implies the people who bought from the brokers and never got tickets were victims. If so, they were victims of the brokers, not of the league.

The other day in Chicago, Gov. Bruce Rauner said something simple and profound: “We can’t manage what we don’t measure.”

Rauner’s comment came as he issued an executive order in regard to what The Associated Press described as “disproportionately high unemployment rates among Illinois minorities and veterans.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics offers measurements from 2013, the most recent year data is available for Illinois.

Average overall jobless rate: 9.1 percent.

Jobless rate for blacks: 17.1 percent.

Jobless rate for Hispanics: 11.1 percent.

Jobless rate for veterans: 9.2 percent (one of the highest rates of any state).

Rauner wants to reduce those rates by using the apparatus of government to help. But there’s information he needs to know first: What is the extent of underrepresentation of minorities and veterans in certain areas within his control? The governor wants to find out the number of minorities and veterans involved in training or apprenticeship programs sponsored by labor groups, contractors and subcontractors who work with the state. Such programs often lead to good jobs.

Rauner’s order calls for that information to be collected and reported within 30 days.

The state’s personnel agency was ordered to review laws on preferences for hiring and contracting with veterans. That report is due by June 30.

A report is also to be prepared on the ability of businesses owned by minorities and veterans to be awarded state contracts, along with recommendations to eliminate disparities. Dec. 31 is the due date.

As the information is obtained, it should help Rauner’s administration figure out ways within its power to improve job chances for minorities and veterans.

Rauner, a Winnetka Republican and venture capitalist, is applying a traditional, effective means of getting results: What gets measured gets accomplished.

Find out measurable facts about employment of minorities and veterans, and then determine a course of action to improve those rates within the purview of state government. And then, measure the outcome. Did the actions have the intended results? Does more need to be done? What additional changes are necessary?

As Rauner said, “We need to ensure jobs and business opportunities are open to everyone, but especially those who serve our country or are underrepresented in the economy.”

By ordering a measurement of this particular problem, Rauner will provide his administration with the tools to manage it. As time goes by, the process also will provide a standard to measure Rauner’s ability to identify a problem and solve it. The public will be watching for the outcome.

ANOTHER VIEW

Hamas girds for war The Washington Post’s William Booth witnessed a chilling event Thursday in the Gaza Strip: thousands of youths lined up “in crisp military fashion” for a “graduation ceremony” after a week of training by the armed wing of the Hamas movement. Although Gazan families struggle to survive from last summer’s war with Israel, Hamas is investing in preparing for another battle.

That this is happening is an indictment of this Islamic terrorist movement, which has started three wars with Israel in six years while depriving the 1.8 million people on its territory any hope of peaceful development. But it is also evidence of the failure by other parties, including the United States, to take steps to lift Gaza out of its cycle of bloodshed and blockade.

Last year’s war, which killed more than 2,000 Gazans and damaged or destroyed 124,000 homes, could have been a turning point. Israel pressed for Hamas’ disarmament as part of a cease-fire; although that proved impossible, the United States and Egypt pressed a formula under which the Palestinian Authority would take over security on the territory’s border, allowing for an expansion of trade and humanitarian relief.

The deal never took hold. Hamas refused to give up its checkpoints on the border, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas chose to focus his energies on another empty diplomatic offensive at the United Nations rather than restoring order in Gaza. The result was that Egypt sealed its border and redoubled its effort to prevent smuggling, while Israel, worried about Hamas’ rearmament, allowed only a fraction of the imports the United Nations says are needed for reconstruction.

International donors have held back the reconstruction funding they pledged. The result was that the U.N. refugee relief agency in Gaza was forced to suspend payments to families last week. Its director, Robert Turner, issued a statement saying that “people are desperate and the international community cannot even provide the bare minimum ... let alone a lifting of the blockade, access to markets or freedom of movement.”

U.N. officials are quick to blame Israel for this horrific situation, even though Egypt’s border “blockade” is tighter. It’s certainly striking that while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to consider the danger of Iran so serious that it justifies his violation of diplomatic protocol to address a joint meeting of Congress, he appears to have no policy for Gaza – the source of the most lethal attacks on Israelis in recent years.

Israel, however, can hardly be expected to facilitate Hamas’ relentless preparations for more war, to which concrete and other reconstruction materials have been diverted in the past. An Israeli official told Booth that Gazan militias would be fully rearmed and trained within months. Sadly, that is likely to be the next time the world pays heed to Gaza – when war with Israel again erupts.

Browns QB Manziel enters treatment CLEVELAND – Johnny Manziel has sought help to change his off-field lifestyle.

After a rough rookie season in the NFL, Manziel has entered a treatment program for unspecified reasons, an adviser for the Browns quarterback said in a statement released by the team Monday.

“Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he decided to take this step in his life during the offseason,” Manziel adviser Brad Beckworth said.

Beckworth said the former Heisman Trophy winner entered the unnamed facility last week. He said Manziel’s family is asking for privacy until he rejoins the team.

Beckworth’s statement did not indicate reasons for Manziel needing treatment.

However, the 22-year-old QB’s penchant for partying followed him from college into the pros and Manziel’s nightlife has been well-chronicled by both social and mainstream media.

The location of the facility where Manziel is staying is not immediately known.

Patriots strong safety Malcolm Butler intercepts a pass intended for Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday night in Glendale, Ariz. The Patriots won, 28-24.

From Popeyes to Super Bowl hero Restaurant manager remembers Malcolm Butler as ‘hard worker’

By ADAM KILGORE The Washington Post Shennelle Parker, the manager of the Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Vicksburg, Mississippi, always could count on Malcolm Butler.

Parker hired Butler as a cashier, and before long Butler began to “cross train,” which meant he could perform every task in the store. Butler showed up on time, washed dishes, took orders up front and graduated to the batter station, where he would drop chicken into sizzling oil.

“He was a good employee,” Parker said Monday morning in a phone conversation. “He kept the customers happy and pleased. I was always pleased. He was a hard worker. Everybody in here really liked working with him.”

Parker last saw Butler about one month ago, during the New England Patriots’ bye week. Butler had gone home to Vicksburg, and every time he traveled home he still stopped by Popeyes to see his old boss and talk.

“He was excited about the playoffs,” Parker said. Monday morning,

Parker watched Butler give an interview on ESPN. She beamed when Butler mentioned he used to work at Popeyes.

Butler had completed an inconceivable path from batter cook to Division II standout to undrafted rookie to Super Bowl hero. Sunday night, Butler sealed the Patriots’ 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks with an interception at the goal line with 20 seconds remaining, both the deciding play of a classic Super Bowl and the culmination of Butler’s self-made ascension.

“The first thing I want to say is he’s a tremendous young man with a tremendous attitude,” said Will

With his future uncertain, Oduya focuses on the present Defenseman fully aware that his championship window is here, now

With a new general manager and coach, and plenty of questions about which players are returning, the Bears are a difficult organization to gauge when it comes to adding free agents, and how much the team will be willing to spend.

We know GM Ryan Pace believes in building through the draft, but you can count on some additions when free agency begins March 10.

We’ll go position-by-position breaking down where the Bears stand, who their options are and who they could target next month. Today, we analyze the quarterback position.

Current Bears situation: Jay Cutler is under contract, and is due $10 million of his guaranteed money on the third day of the league year, March 12.

Several indications point to Cutler staying for at least one more year with the new regime, but getting competition for him or a different backup should be on the Bears’ to-do list this offseason. Last year’s sixth-rounder, David Fales, also is on the team, for now.

His future is dependent on what Pace, coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase think of his skill set, and if they want to find another young quarterback to develop.

Dream on: One of the reasons to keep Cutler is the free-agent batch of quarterbacks isn’t going to wow anyone. There is no star of the class, and that’s a trend at the position. When a team has the quarterback it likes, it will do whatever it can to prevent him from getting to the open market. Of the quarterbacks available, a survey of personnel evaluators might result in a handful of different answers to, “Who is the best free-agent quarterback?” It actually might be Mark Sanchez, who had a season typical of his career – up-and-down, some great throws and some awful interceptions. He has the two AFC title games on his resumé, and showed some flashes with the Eagles last season with a career-high passer rating of 88.4.

Chicago connections: Matt Moore has been one of the

mlazerus@suntimes.com There’s very little chance, if any, defenseman Johnny Oduya will be wearing a Blackhawks sweater when training camp opens next fall. He knows that.

Everyone knows that.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be back or that the Hawks don’t want him back. The math just doesn’t work.

AP photo As an unrestricted free agent Defenseman Johnny Oduya knows his time with the Black- with a salary-cap crunch looming, hawks is unlikely to continue after this season, so he’s con- the megadeals for Jonathan Toews tent on focusing on the present and trying to help the team to and Patrick Kane kicking in and win the Stanley Cup this season.

Brandon Saad due a big raise, it’s

virtually mathematically impossible for a veteran, well-paid defenseman such as Oduya to fit.

Oduya gets that, even if he won’t get into specifics.

“I’ve been around a couple of years,” said Oduya, a nine-year veteran. “I understand the ins and outs of that.”

But the urgency Oduya feels now, with the clock ticking on his Hawks career, is no different than the urgency he felt last spring. Or the spring before that.

As Toews often says, you only get so many chances to make a run at a Stanley Cup and the championship window only stays open

so long. So Oduya’s thinking about what’s going to happen between now and June, not what’s going to happen in July.

“Everybody knows the reality of the NHL, where every year is different,” he said. “And anytime you have a good team and you have a chance to do something, that’s an opportunity you don’t want to let slip. I think that goes for everybody on our team, really. It’s not any different for me.

“Like anything in life, you’ve got to have a lot of fun and seize the moment and use the time you have and not really think about what’s been done before or what’s further down the road.

You have to think about what’s happening now.”

tact in practices; Rice has been more limited, but coach John Groce said Monday that Rice might have been a full-go, too, if Rayvonte Rice not for the suspension – announced before the Illini’s victory Saturday against Penn State – for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Asked for an update about

the statuses of Rice and Cosby, Groce offered next to nothing.

“Indefinitely suspended,” he said, “and that’s Aaron Cosby where it’s at.”

Asked specifically about whether they would be available for the game against Rutgers, Groce repeated: “Indefinitely suspended, and that’s where it’s at. That’s

SPORTS BRIEF Former Tigers 1B Bergman dies at 61 DETROIT – Dave Bergman, a member of the Detroit Tigers’ 1984 World Series championship team, has died. He was 61.

The Tigers extended condolences Monday to Bergman’s family, calling him “as spirited a person as he was a player.”

No cause of death was given.

A first baseman and outfielder, Bergman spent nine seasons in Detroit, where he arrived via trade in 1984.

He had a career-high 44 RBIs in helping the Tigers win their first World Series since 1968.

Bergman was selected by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1974 draft and made his big league debut a year later.

In 17 years, he hit .258 with 54 home runs and 289 RBIs in his career. He also played for the Astros and Giants.

The Evanston native was involved in Detroit-area youth baseball and founded the Grosse Pointe Redbirds.

Hoops analyst Anthony pleads not guilty WASHINGTON – Basketball analyst Greg Anthony is pleading not guilty to a charge of soliciting a prostitute.

Anthony’s lawyer entered the plea on his behalf during an appearance in D.C. Superior Court on Monday. Anthony, who is scheduled to return to court Feb. 11, declined comment after the hearing.

Anthony is charged with soliciting a prostitute at a Washington hotel Jan. 16.

Court documents say he responded to an escort ad authorities placed on the classifieds website Backpage.com.

The 47-year-old former NBA player was suspended by CBS and Turner Sports after his arrest. Anthony apologized in a statement to his wife, family and colleagues, calling his actions a “lapse of judgment.”

Ryan updates tattoo from Jets green to Bills blue NEW YORK – Rex Ryan’s tattooed right arm went from Jets green to Bills blue.

The recently hired Buffalo coach had the tattoo on his biceps updated to his new team’s colors at a parlor in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Friday.

The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that Ryan, in town before the Super Bowl, has ditched all of his old New York Jets apparel and needed to freshen up his body art.

“I mean, you’ve got to turn the page,” Ryan told the newspaper.

between me and them.”

Illinois has gone 4-3 – all in Big Ten play – without leading scorer and rebounder Rice. Sophomores Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn have stepped forward, averaging nearly 34 points between them in those seven games.

Hill, who scored 27 points and had the winning basket against Penn State, was named Big Ten co-player of the week with Michigan State forward Branden Dawson.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau yells to his team during the first half of a game against the Heat on Jan. 25 at the United Center.

Thibs draws lesson from Super Bowl Coach: One play can make you a champion

By SETH GRUEN sgruen@suntimes.com The Bulls weren’t preoccupied with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s decision to throw the ball from the 1-yard line with a chance to win the Super Bowl on Sunday. But center Joakim Noah shared his opinion.

“I love Pete Carroll,” Noah said Monday. “But I’m French, and I know that was bad.”

Although it drew some laughs from media members, the Bulls’ discussion of the game actually took a serious tone before practice.

Coach Tom Thibodeau said he discussed the play with his players before practice, reconvening after an unusual two days off.

After finishing 8-9 in January and struggling particularly on the defensive end, the Bulls are searching for ways to refocus in a season that began with championship aspirations.

Did the Super Bowl script play right into Thibodeau’s hands? Maybe.

Thibodeau doesn’t need to stick to the hardwood to find

examples of the championship formula he preaches.

“Sometimes I think it’s good to do stuff like that,” Thibodeau said. “Just the mental things that go into it, and sometimes one play is the difference. It’s the difference between maybe being a champion and not being a champion. That’s why how you build your habits all year is so important, how you practice, how you prepare. You look at those two teams and you say the talent is pretty much equal. So what’s going to separate you in the end?”

The answer could be health.

Or at least the Bulls are hoping that could be the case.

The Bulls rarely have been completely healthy. All five starters have missed action at some point. Mike Dunleavy (right ankle) is the only injured starter remaining.

He didn’t practice Monday. Thibodeau said given the schedule, it was a good opportunity to give Dunleavy the day off. There was no indication whether Dunleavy would practice today or play Wednesday in Houston.

The veteran small forward

has missed 16 consecutive games. His return could give the Bulls their first opportunity at developing some continuity.

“The last month has been very up and down, but also it’s good in the sense that we see who we really are,” Noah said.

“There are a lot of areas we have to get better. ‘Dun-Dun’ coming back for us would be big.”

If the Bulls knew when that might happen, it might give them a rallying point. But the situation is unpredictable.

That was the point of Thibodeau talking about the Super Bowl with his team. Just as it seemed the Patriots were going to lose, the game turned completely around.

“Just the range of emotion and how there’s not much difference in winning and losing,” Thibodeau said. “One play here, one play there. You looked at the Patriot sideline, and they had despair. The game changed two plays later. It just shows you how close everything is. Always got to try and put as many things in your favor as you can. It was a great game to watch.”

• BLACKHAWKS Continued from page B1 Of course, what’s happening now hasn’t been terribly fun for Oduya. The Hawks are in contention, and that’s what matters most. But Oduya has struggled for much of the season. He has two goals and three assists in 50 games, but the troublesome stat is that he’s a minus-6 on a team with a league-leading plus-40 goal differential. And although coach Joel Quenneville chalked much of that up to the difficult de-

hopes he’s headed in the right direction.

“It’s been a little bit up and down, especially in the first half,” he said. “I need to improve my game; I know that. I know my role for this team, so it’s important for me to give as much as I can every night for the team to be successful.”

Despite the inconsistency, Quenneville said he’s not concerned about Oduya’s game.

“He’s had some good stretches and some ordinary stretches,” Quenneville said. “Guys every year have stretches where you’re really happy with their

WESTERN CONFERENCE

NEW ORLEANS – Paul Millsap and his Atlanta teammates didn’t sound terribly concerned about the end of the Hawks’ franchise-record 19game winning streak.

After all, the Hawks’ 115-100 loss to surging New Orleans on Monday night – in a game marked by Anthony Davis’ ferocious play – was only Atlanta’s third defeat in 36 games.

“We’ve got a lot of season left,” Millsap said when asked to put the recent winning streak in perspective. “Nineteen games, that’s good. We Anthony Davis lost one – 19-1 now. So it’s just regrouping. ...

We can’t let one loss turn into two losses.”

Davis, returning from a left groin strain that sideline him one game, had 29 points and 13 rebounds to help the Pelicans win for the sixth time in seven games. New Orleans’ recent run of good form has included victories over other contending squads, such as Dallas and the Los Angeles Clippers, and has pulled the Pelicans (2622) within a game of Phoenix (28-22) for eighth place in the Western Conference.

“We just need to continue to do what we’ve been doing,” Davis said. “The past couple games, we’ve been rebounding, defending, sharing the ball. We don’t care who scores.

That’s what we have to do.”

That sounds a lot like the recipe Atlanta has been using to pile up an Eastern Conference-leading 40 victories.

“They had us on our heels from the very beginning,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “They deserve a lot of credit for us not starting well.

“Give our guys a lot of credit for a lot of good work over the last month,” Budenholzer added. “Tonight wasn’t our night. I am very proud of them.

We’ll get back to work.”

Jeff Teague scored 21 for Atlanta, but the Hawks fell behind by double digits in the first quarter and trailed the rest of the way, getting within single digits for only a few brief stints.

Eric Gordon scored 20 points for New Orleans, while Tyreke Evans scored 15 points and tied a season high with 12 assists for the fourth time in five games.

Hawks’ Oduya has struggled for most of the season fensive assignments and defensive-zone starts Oduya and longtime partner Niklas Hjalmarsson get – “He doesn’t get a lot of the perks some guys get,” Quenneville said – the harsh fact is Hjalmarsson is a plus-14.

Just before the All-Star break, Quenneville took the drastic step of breaking up his long-standing top two defensive pairings. He dropped Oduya to the third pairing with Michal Rozsival, although he still gets a handful of shifts a night with Hjalmarsson.

Oduya is coming off two of his better games in a while and

game and some where they’re ordinary. But, for the most part, he’s pretty reliable.”

Oduya said he’s comfortable playing with Rozsival and isn’t sweating who’s playing with whom. He’s not worried about anything, really, other than his own game and the next game.

The rest will take care of itself.

“I have no idea, really, what’s going on,” Oduya said of his future. “What happens in the future is in the future.

Sometimes you don’t get to decide that stuff. So all you can do is play your best and have fun.”

NFL NOTES

Boston postpones victory parade after heavy snow The ASSOCIATED PRESS

tory 15 days in jail if convicted on the prostitution charge.

BOSTON – The Super Bowl celebration for New Englanders and their beloved Patriots will have to wait another day as Boston continues to get battered by heavy snow.

Mayor Marty Walsh said the city will postpone a planned victory parade through downtown until Wednesday.

He said the city and team both agreed to hold off on the parade because of Monday’s snowstorm, which dumped more than a foot of snow in the Boston area, making commutes treacherous.

“We thank everyone for their flexibility and patience during the planning of this parade and we look forward to celebrating with Patriots fans during better weather on Wednesday,” Walsh said in a joint statement with the team.

The city had announced earlier that the parade would take place today. But with weather continuing to worsen, Boston public schools preemptively canceled today’s classes, the fifth snow day in the past week. A decision to cancel the parade followed shortly after.

Boston has seen a record 34.2 inches of snow over seven days, according to the National Weather Service. The previous seven-day record was 31.2 inches in January 1996.

After their 28-24 victory over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks in Arizona, the Patriots flew back to Massachusetts as scores of flights in and out of Boston’s Logan International Airport were canceled or delayed Monday.

Record viewership, social media reach for Super Bowl: At New

Vick an intriguing option

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman waves toward fans on the team’s return from the Super Bowl XLIX on Monday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in SeaTac, Wash. The Seahawks lost to the Patriots, 28-24.

York, an estimated 114.4 million people watched New England’s thrilling win over Seattle, making it the fifth time in six years that a Super Bowl game has set a record as the most-watched event in U.S. TV history.

The Nielsen company said the game’s viewership exceeded the record of 112.2 million set last year, when Seattle beat Denver.

The game also set records for social media reach. A stirring comeback by New England and game-saving interception in the final minute kept viewers glued to the set.

Sherman plays Super Bowl if he was 100 percent healthy.

Falcons hire Quinn as coach: Sapp arrested in Phoenix: At At Atlanta, the Falcons’ long with torn elbow ligaments: At Phoenix, former NFL lineman and Hall of Famer Warren Sapp was arrested Monday on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute and allegedly assaulting two women, Phoenix police said.

Hours later, the NFL Network announced that it had terminated its contract with Sapp, who had worked as an analyst for the network since 2008 and was in Arizona for Sunday’s Super Bowl in suburban Glendale.

Sapp, 42, was taken into custody at a downtown Phoenix hotel and booked into jail, police said.

He made his initial appearance late Monday afternoon before a Phoenix Municipal Court judge and was released pending a Feb. 23 court date.

Authorities said Sapp faces a maximum penalty of $2,500 in fines, six months in jail, three years’ probation and manda-

Phoenix, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman played the Super Bowl with torn ligaments in his left elbow and likely will need Tommy John surgery in the offseason.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Monday before the team left Arizona that it was his understanding that Sherman would need the surgery after the All-Pro cornerback was injured in the NFC championship game against Green Bay. “I’m just telling you, his will to play through that in this game a couple of weeks ago and take it all the way through this game, never wavered. Never wavered,” Carroll said.

Sherman played in the Seahawks’ 28-24 loss to New England without a brace on the elbow and did not appear to be impeded by the injury. Sherman was asked after the game

wait for new leadership on the field finally ended Monday when Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was named the team’s coach.

The Falcons said Quinn will be introduced at a news conference today. Quinn replaces Mike Smith, who was fired after a 6-10 finish in 2014.

The team did not release details of the deal, but a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that Quinn agreed to a five-year contract.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank said he was impressed

by Quinn’s “definitive plan for our football team and what it will take to win on a consistent basis.”

“He also has a proven ability to develop players by maximizing their individual strengths,” Blank said.

An overnight sensation • SUPER BOWL HERO Continued from page B1 Hall, Butler’s coach at Division II West Alabama. “Every day he wakes up, every time he runs into somebody, he makes their day better. He’s just one of those people.”

For the public, Butler’s interception turned him into an overnight sensation. Nothing about his story, though, is instant or easy. Butler earned his place in football history through years of perseverance, through overcoming challenges from childhood with honest, constant work.

Butler grew up in Vicksburg with no advantages.

“Earlier in his life, he didn’t have the easiest childhood,” Hall said. “He didn’t have a whole lot of money, a whole lot of extra things.”

Butler started working at Popeyes on the weekend in high school to help his mother make ends meet.

Butler struggled in school and did not make grades to qualify for Division I football. He attended Hinds Community College. He played five games before Hinds dismissed him. (According to the Providence Journal, he was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.) Butler moved back to Vicksburg and worked at Popeyes, hoping for another chance.

Hinds took Butler back for his sophomore season, and he capitalized on his second chance. On weekends, he still returned home to work at Popeyes. Teams from Conference USA and the Sun Belt recruited Butler, but his grades still weren’t good enough to qualify for Division I. During his time at West Alabama, Hall coached seven players who played professionally, and all of them came to him for academic reasons.

SHOP

“He’s never had anything given to him,” Hall said. “Anything he’s got in his life, he’s had to work for and get for himself. You see a lot of guys that are in that situation, and they go the other way. Malcolm realized early on no matter what hand you’re dealt, you’re responsible for your success and failures. Just like all of us, as he grew and got older, he realized what mattered.”

Butler continued to work away from football, taking a work-study job at the school fitness center. Butler sopped sweat off spinning bikes. He washed towels. He mopped locker room floors. He never complained.

“Malcolm’s just a guy that brightens your day,” Hall said.

Immediately, Hall saw Butler possessed the potential to play in the NFL. He had decent size and decent speed, though he wasn’t the biggest or fastest defensive back on his team.

But Butler stood out with his ability to break on passes, to play the ball in the air. He also had a penchant for making his best plays in the biggest moments.

West Alabama had never won an outright Gulf Coast Conference championship.

Those usually went to North Alabama, a league power that historically dominated West Alabama. In Butler’s senior season, North Alabama returned an interception for a touchdown to tie the score, and in the stadium, Hall said, a sense of inevitability set in that North Alabama would beat West Alabama again.

Then Butler returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown.

West Alabama beat North Alabama and won its first conference title.

“Obviously,” Hall said, “that’s not the biggest play he’s made now.”

DeKalb County

• BEARS Continued from page B1 highest-paid backups the past two seasons while attempting only 10 passes – nice work if you can get it. He threw 16 touchdowns to nine picks in 2011, and knows Fox well from his time in Carolina from 2007 to 2010. Moore is not afraid to take chances as a quarterback (sound familiar?), but has a career completion percentage of only 58.9.

This is amazing – Jake Locker, Christian Ponder and Blaine Gabbert are all free agents, three of the top 12 players drafted in 2011, another example of how difficult it can be to find that next great quarterback. New Bears quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains knows Locker better than most – he was in Tennessee with Locker from 2011 to 2013. Locker has shown promise at times, but can’t stay healthy. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio got a glimpse of Gabbert’s capabilities, watching the former Jaguar go against Fangio’s 49ers defense last season, Gabbert’s only one with San Francisco.

Another free-agent QB Loggains knows well? Brian Hoyer, who threw 12 touchdowns and 13 picks last season in Cleveland, where Loggains was the Browns’ quarterbacks coach.

Jimmy Clausen, last year’s backup, also knows Fox – the coach who drafted him – and is certainly familiar with the players on the Bears’ offense.

Best of the rest: Another 2011 draftee, Ryan Mallett is a free agent, coming off a torn pectoral muscle after his first two starts in the NFL (after three years behind Tom Brady).

Michael Vick might be an intriguing option, but he turns 35 in June and completed 52.9 percent of his passes with the Jets last season.

Then there’s Matt Flynn, who has bounced around since the Seahawks gave him a big contract in ’12. Flynn did have a passer rating of 86.1 in his four starts for the Packers in ’13.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Tuesday, February 3, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Stepmom wishes others would value her role Dear Abby: I’m a 42-year-old divorced woman with no children. My ex-husband has a son whose life I was a part of for 18 years. When people ask if I have kids, my reply is, “Yes, I have a stepson.”

Why do people think it’s OK to say things such as, “That’s not the same as having your own” or “That doesn’t count”?

Then they usually go on to ask why I don’t have children of my own.

My response is a big fat lie.

I say, “It just never happened.”

The truth is my ex didn’t want any more children.

What can I say to these people to let them know they need to stop and think

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips about what they say and ask, because their word choice in this circumstance is hurtful to the point of tears? – Stepmom

In California Dear Stepmom: A person who would downplay your role as a parent is rude, thoughtless and not worth your time.

As to asking why someone is childless, I have addressed this subject in my column before. While many folks start conversations by asking whether someone has children,

it can be a dangerous question.

I learned my lesson and stopped asking after having received an answer from one man that his son was doing life in prison as an accomplice to murder. Another man told me he had two children, a daughter and an estranged son who also was serving a long sentence – for selling narcotics.

Neither person was happy to have been asked. After that, I stopped asking.

I see no reason why you shouldn’t simply tell the truth about why you are child-free.

Not having (or wanting) children is nothing to be ashamed of – it’s a personal choice that an increasing number of

couples have opted for without regret.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been together for 18 months. Last night we were talking about doing more in the bedroom, and he told me he is bisexual.

I have nothing against the LGBT community, but finding this out after so long shocked me. I’m worried now, and I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that he has sex with guys. I just can’t quite look at or think of him the same way.

I really do love him and can still see a future with him. I just don’t know how to handle this big news. Please, Abby,

you’re my only hope. – Liz In Texas Dear Liz: I would be curious about why your boyfriend waited so long to tell you.

Because someone is bisexual does not mean the person is unfaithful and sleeping with both sexes at the same time.

It simply means the person is attracted to members of both sexes. You need to have further discussion with your boyfriend regarding his attitude about his commitment to you before deciding what to do about his “big” news.

Hand-washing and good hygiene prevent MRSA Dear Dr. K: What is MRSA? What makes it so dangerous?

Dear Reader: In the early days of antibiotics, 70 years ago, one of the most common and dangerous types of bacteria – Staphylococcus aureus – could be killed by penicillin. However, these bacteria soon developed resistance to penicillin. So we invented another antibiotic, methicillin, which killed them. So far, so good.

Then, these bacteria developed resistance to methicillin.

These bacteria are called MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is dangerous because it cannot be treated with many standard antibiotics.

MRSA behaves much like other staph bacteria. It most

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff often lives in the nose or on the skin without causing disease.

But all staph bacteria have the potential to cause trouble.

They can cause boils or other mild skin infections, as well as life-threatening lung and blood infections.

Some strains of MRSA have evolved other threatening features. For example, white blood cells from the body’s immune system normally work together with an antibiotic to destroy bacteria. A hardy strain of MRSA destroys white blood cells.

Other MRSA strains have

developed ways to spread more easily from one person to the next.

In the community, spread of MRSA is more likely between people who: • Don’t maintain good personal hygiene; • Don’t wash their hands frequently; • Share contaminated items, such as towels or razors.

But even the cleanest person can spread MRSA. You might shake the hand of a person carrying MRSA, or you could touch an object shortly after a person with MRSA had touched it.

The best way to prevent MRSA and other infections is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water. If you can’t get to a sink, use an alco-

hol-based hand cleanser.

Here are some more tips to help avoid picking up and spreading MRSA and other germs: • Keep cuts or scrapes clean.

Cover them with bandages and change the bandages daily. If you develop increasing redness, swelling or pain around a cut, call your doctor.

• Don’t share personal items such as razors, towels and sheets.

• Wash workout clothes and athletic team uniforms after each use.

• Shower after you work out.

• Wash sheets and towels in hot water. Dry them in a hot dryer.

Unfortunately, over the past 50 years, MRSA has become

pretty common in health facilities. That’s why it’s really important, when visiting a person in a hospital or nursing home, to thoroughly wash your hands before and after your visit.

Even more unfortunately, MRSA increasingly is found throughout the community, not just in health care institutions. Certain antibiotics that typically have to be given intravenously (rather than as pills) can kill MRSA. Doctors hope we will be able to keep one step ahead of MRSA through medical research.

Birthmark removal would improve self-esteem Dr. Wallace: I’m 17, and was born with a deep purple “strawberry” birthmark on my neck and a small section of my left cheek. I’ve always been very self-conscious about this, and it has really affected my social growth. I would like to have it removed by laser surgery this summer, so I could start being the “new me” before I start college in September.

My parents and grandparents kept telling me I’d get used to my birthmark, but I’ve had it for 17 years and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.

Have you ever had any letters from teens who had the same problem and had the laser surgery successfully? If so, could you please print a couple of

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace them so my parents can know that others have been helped by this procedure? – Name-

less, Lansing, Michigan Nameless: I checked my files and found one letter about laser surgery for removal of a strawberry birthmark.

I’m sure it will be helpful in making your decision for removal of your birthmark.

Before you decide, you and your parents should talk with several surgeons who perform this type of surgery and get their recommendations. Your family physician can put you

ASTROGRAPH

in touch with competent laser surgeons.

Dr. Wallace: I was born with a strawberry birthmark on my face and neck. Last year I researched laser surgery, and decided to have the treatment.

It was the best decision I ever made.

I needed four treatments.

The treatments were painless, and they took about 15 minutes each. I returned every six weeks for a treatment, and when I finished, the result was amazing.

Now for the first time in my life, I’m wearing my hair in a different style. The wonderful thing was that insurance covered almost the entire cost. I’d advise other teens with similar birthmarks

TODAY – Make this a productive year by being realistic about what you can and cannot do. If you take on too much, you will end up exhausted, frustrated and disappointed. Your role as peacemaker will bring you recognition, and if you play your cards right, you will be considered for advancement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Streamline your efforts and concentrate on one project at a time. The more you take on, the harder it will be to remain in control and reach your destination.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Success is in the cards. Be secretive about your ideas to avoid someone intervening and throwing you off your game. If you follow your intuition, you will come out ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Slow and steady will win the race. Mistakes are likely if you have too many irons in the fire. There is someone who wants to collaborate with you.

Make sure the partnership is an equal one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Spend time on your own.

Research something or someone you find intriguing. Studying and honing your skills will keep you from getting into a damaging, emotional debate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will have a chance to try something out of the ordinary. If you participate in everything that is going on, you will have an eye-opening experience.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can get what you want if you are patient. Let things unfold naturally. Don’t rush into new ventures. If you want to take advantage of new possibilities, you must pay close attention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Compromise will be a necessity. Don’t fall for an offer that sounds too good to be true. Keep your valuables under close surveillance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Keep an eye out for a job opportunity. A chance to pick up additional skills should not be missed. Give whatever you do your best shot in order to succeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You will end up paying the price if you have been overspending or overindulging. Make an effort to get back on track and stick to your budget. Love is apparent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Career advancement should be your first concern. You can increase your cash flow by marketing a unique idea to the right people. A personal relationship needs to be nurtured.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you are feeling down and out, take time to rejuvenate. Find a relaxing way to soothe your nerves. Get plenty of rest and prepare to take on the world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Love and romance are highlighted. If you plan a fun activity with someone special, you will discover how much you have in common. An impromptu trip will result in improved living arrangements.

to check out laser surgery. It sure worked for me. – Happy

Girl, Lakeland, Florida Dr. Wallace: I’m nearly 15, and I have great parents, but they are convinced I have an eating disorder called anorexia. I think they believe this because I don’t eat any kind of meat. But I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and other nutritious foods. They are always trying to change my eating habits, and they have taken me to several counselors and a doctor to see if I have anorexia. But none of them say I have it.

They know I’m terrified of needles, but now they have scheduled me to have blood tests to see what my “problem” is. I don’t know why they

are so worried. Please encourage my parents to let up on me because they are making my life miserable. – Nameless,

Vicksburg, Mississippi Nameless: Avoiding meat, but eating nutritious foods does not make you an anorexic. The key is your weight. If you have a thin body build and also are losing weight, then your parents would be wise to have a check-up from a doctor to find out if you do have a medical or eating disorder. There must be some reason for your parents to be so concerned about your health. Better to find out and put everyone’s mind at rest.

CROSSWORD

Take care with your best asset The two – or deuce – is the lowest card in a suit, but sometimes it assumes high status.

In today’s deal, how should South play in four spades after West leads a trump, East takes the trick with his ace and returns his trump jack, West following suit?

South starts with five potential losers in his hand: one spade, two hearts and two diamonds. He begins with only eight winners: five spades, one heart and two clubs. Declarer can ruff his third heart in the dummy, but how will he find a 10th trick?

If the heart finesse is losing, West had better also hold the diamond ace, which is unlikely. If the heart finesse is winning, how does declarer get to the dummy to take it?

(To cross in spades kills the later heart ruff.) At first, it looks as though West needs to have the diamond ace, but there is another chance.

At trick one, South must play a high spade under East’s ace. Then, after winning the second trick, he unblocks (cashes) his two club winners before running the diamond jack (or, if West produces the queen, covers with dummy’s king). Here, East is stymied.

If he returns a heart, declarer takes the finesse. If East continues diamonds, dummy’s king becomes a trick.

Or if East leads his last club, South ruffs high, overtakes his carefully conserved spade two with dummy’s six and cashes the club winners. Then he takes the heart finesse to collect an overtrick.

Finally, shed a crocodile tear for East. With 18 points, he never thought his opponents had missed a game. So, instead of passing out one spade, he made the automatic takeout double.
