Chairman elections divide board

Some in county call for special meeting to push idea forward By kEVIN p. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The debate about whether voters should elect the McHenry County Board chairman may be headed for a special meeting after a committee decided against moving the idea forward.

A majority of the Management Services Committee on

Monday expressed reservations about the idea and decided not to pursue – at least for the April 9 ballot – a binding referendum to put the chairmanship in the hands of voters rather than the board’s 24 members.

With a week before the deadline to put a referendum on the April ballot, board member Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, and freshman committee mem-

ber Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, said at the meeting that they intended to muster up the eight board members needed to call a special meeting with the intention of getting the question before voters.

Provenzano, who is not on the committee, said that board members who actively opposed the November county-executive referendum in effect made a tac-

Where to find it Advice Business Buzz Classified

SPRINGFIELD – Education programs face a $400 million cut in next year’s state budget because of increased pension costs, according to preliminary figures released by Gov. Pat Quinn’s office.

The new report also shows an expected $265 million reduction under the heading of “government services,” which includes budgets for the General Assembly, courts, statewide officials and agencies under Quinn.

“It would be a bit premature to say if there’s going to be any reduction in workforce.

Who knows what tomorrow may bring?” said Quinn assistant budget director Abdon Pallasch. “There are no plans, there’s no notices going out.

It’s just here’s how bad things are looking. If we pass pension reform tomorrow, that helps start us back on the right path.”

The information is contained in an economic and fiscal policy report that must be issued annually by the governor’s office. It sets out broad outlines for the state budget for the next three years.

The report is not the detailed budget proposal that Quinn will present to lawmakers in March. However, it does give an outline of what Quinn is likely to propose then.

Madigan is decider in pension reform

“Frankly, I’m not sure they want it,” Christine Radogno, Illinois Senate Republican leader, said last week about the Democratic legislative leaders and state pension reform.

It sure looked liked she was right, at least in the House, where Speaker Michael Madigan barely lifted a finger for any of the pension reform bills that were on the table.

His top aides insist Madigan does want pension reform. He has said he wants a bill to pass. So what will it take to get him off the dime and start pushing for a solution?

Madigan’s members almost always take their cues from their leader on the big stuff. When he says, “This is the bill I want right now,” they tend to go along. Until they get that message, rank-and-file House Democrats hold back and wait.

For his part, the conservative Madigan doesn’t usually get too far ahead of his members. He polls his caucus regularly, and if he sees major resistance to an issue, he’s almost always reluctant to push it. Unlike Gov. Pat Quinn, Madigan understands that defeat makes you look weak, and Madigan is obsessed with projecting his image of power.

And, sometimes, especially when

8LOTTERY

CAPITOL EFFECTS Rich Miller Madigan wants something big, he’s willing to wait and wait, and then wait some more until the time is right to make his move.

So, take him at his word that he wants pension reform. What’s he waiting for?

The most obvious answer is the so-called pension payment cost shift, a proposal favored by Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The plan shifts employer pension costs currently paid by the state to public schools and colleges.

The Republicans and plenty of suburban and downstate Democrats oppose the cost shift, claiming it will lead to property-tax increases.

Chicago isn’t in the Teachers Retirement System, which is why Emanuel supports the idea.

But proponents point to a recent pension plan as a very workable framework. That proposal shifts the state’s employer costs at a rate of half a percentage point of payroll per year.

If school districts and universities can’t absorb that without a big tax or tuition increase, proponents say, then they need to send their leaders back to management school.

Even the Republicans admit that there’s some merit to the cost-shift idea. The ultra-conservative Illinois Policy Institute and Ty Fahner at the Civic Committee back the plan. They point out that school districts use end-of-career pay raises to encourage people to retire. Those raises are capped at 6 percent a year, but over four years that works out to be 26 percent with interest, which puts a huge burden on the pension systems, and, in turn, on state taxpayers, who have to pick up the tab.

When Madigan dropped the cost shift as a “must have” in the days leading up to January’s “lame-duck” session, the governor trumpeted the move as a major breakthrough that would lead to a pension reform deal.

But, the lame-duck session turned out to be very much like May, when Madigan agreed to back off the cost shift and handed the pension bill to House Republican Leader Tom Cross.

Quinn hailed that decision as progress, but Madigan’s members quickly realized that no Madigan sponsorship

meant no Madigan support, and the bill crashed and burned.

So how the heck is this cost-shift thing ever going to pass? If the Republicans oppose it and lots of members of Madigan’s own caucus say they’re against it, how does he find the votes and persuade the GOP to climb aboard?

Madigan’s people won’t say, but a major crisis would be the most obvious avenue.

If the state’s credit rating is seriously downgraded, tons of pressure will be put on the General Assembly to take some action and restore some credibility to state finances. The Republicans might be more willing to come to the table if their nervous bigbusiness allies insist they participate in a comprehensive solution.

Barring that, the only way forward in the interim might be to do some small things that Madigan’s caucus clearly agrees to.

But even that might not go anywhere if Madigan decides to continue withholding support until he reaches his ultimate goal.

HENDERSON, Nev. – The city manager in Henderson, Nev., says he wants to update the city’s logo after it was mistaken for a hamburger.

Jacob Snow told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the logo is too detailed to print clearly on small items such as business cards. He also said he doesn’t like the image’s saguaro cactus, which is not native to the Mojave desert.

The circular logo was adopted in 1993 and features a mountain range, a lake, buildings and a golf course. City spokesman Bud Cranor said the many colors on the image make it difficult to replicate.

Panetta and others have called an epidemic. The problem reflects strains on military personnel burdened with combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, complicated by anxiety over the prospect of being forced out.

Pentagon figures obtained Monday by The Associated Press show that the 349 suicides among active-duty troops last year were up from 301 the year before and exceeded the

Pentagon’s internal projection of 325. Statistics alone do not explain why troops take their own lives, and the Pentagon’s military and civilian leaders have acknowledged that more needs to be done to understand the causes.

Last year’s total is the highest since the Pentagon began closely tracking suicides in 2001. It exceeds the 295 Americans who died in Afghanistan

Obama to GOP: No haggling on debt ceiling By aNDReW taYLOR and JIM KUHNHeNN The Associated Press

AP photo

President Barack Obama gestures as he answers questions from members of the media during a news conference Monday in the east Room of the White House in Washington.

WASHINGTON – Declaring “we are not a deadbeat nation,” President Obama warned on Monday that Social Security checks and veterans’ benefits will be delayed if congressional Republicans fail to increase the government’s borrowing authority in a looming showdown over the nation’s debt and spending.

Obama said he was willing to negotiate deficit reduction with GOP leaders but insisted that those talks be separate from decisions to raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling and avert a possible first-ever na-

tional default.

“They will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy,” Obama said in a news conference. “What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people.”

Bitter brinkmanship between the White House and congressional Republicans over spending has become a defining event of the past four years, testing both Obama’s leverage and his resolve at different moments of his presidency. House Speaker John Boehner brushed off Obama’s insistence on separating the debt ceiling from negotiations over spending cuts.

“The American people do not support raising the debt ceiling without reducing government spending at the same time,” Boehner said.

“The consequences of failing to increase the debt ceiling are real, but so, too, are the consequences of allowing our spending problem to go unresolved.

Underscoring the urgency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter to Boehner on Monday that the government will exhaust its borrowing limit as soon as mid-February, earlier than expected. The Treasury has been using bookkeeping maneuvers to keep from surpassing the debt ceiling, but

Geithner said those measures will be exhausted by mid-February to early March.

In addition to noting possible effects on older Americans and veterans, Obama recited a litany of possible consequences if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling, including sending the economy back into recession.

At this moment, the government faces three looming deadlines: The debt limit must be raised soon to meet spending obligations and prevent a first-ever default, a series of across-the-board spending cuts is to kick in March 1, and funding for most government programs will run out on March 27.

Obama concedes GOP chips away at $50B Sandy aid bill passing new gun rules a challenge By aNDReW MIGa

The Associated Press

By JULIe PaCe

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Acknowledging opposition in Congress, President Barack Obama said Monday he is reviewing actions he can take on his own to confront gun violence and said he will present a plan within days.

Stronger background checks, a meaningful ban on assault weapons and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines are all on the table, Obama said, although he conceded he was unsure how many of those steps could pass Congress. Fierce resistance from the powerful National Rifle Association has lawmakers from both parties wary of embracing tougher laws.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Friday that while he thought an assault weapons ban might be able to pass the Democraticled Senate, he doubted that it could garner the necessary support among the Republican majority in the House.

Opposition from the wellfunded and politically powerful NRA underscores the challenges that await the White House if it seeks congressional approval for limiting guns and ammunition. Obama can use his executive powers to act alone on some gun measures, but his options on the proposals opposed by the NRA are limited without Congress’

cooperation.

“I’m confident there are some steps we can take that don’t require legislation and that are within my authority as president,” Obama said in a news conference in the East Room of the White House.

Obama’s remarks came as he is reviewing a series of proposals from Vice President Joe Biden, whom he asked to lead a task force on ways to reduce violence after the December massacre in NewJoe Biden town, Conn., that killed 27 people – mostly children.

Over the past month, Biden met with members of Congress, Cabinet members and advocacy groups on both sides of the issue to gauge support for measures such as reinstating the expired assault weapons ban. The NRA, one of the pro-gun groups that met with Biden, has made clear it will vehemently oppose such a ban and other measures that restrict gun access.

Obama and Biden were likely to discuss the vice president’s recommendations during a private lunch at the White House on Monday.

Ahead of that meeting, Biden met with a dozen House Democrats who have formed their own task force for combating gun violence.

Hospitals expand reach with stand-alone ERs

By CaRLa K. JOHNSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – One recent evening after office hours, Dr. James Magee got a phone call about a patient, a woman in her 40s. She complained of tingling on one side of her body, in her arm and leg. Could it be a stroke?

Magee told the woman’s husband to rush her to the free-standing emergency room downstairs from his office in Homer Glen. He told the man: “This is not something that can afford to wait.”

The convenience of 24-hour emergency care may be coming to more Illinois communities as hospitals make plans to build stand-alone ERs up to 50 miles from their flagship facilities.

For hospital executives, it’s a way to expand turf, compete for patients and prepare for an aging population and more Americans gaining insurance under the federal health overhaul law.

For families who live far from a hospital, stand-alone emergency rooms provide the comfort of knowing trained doctors and nurses are nearby and ready to handle most health crises.

But for the health care system as a whole, the trend could raise costs, particularly if more patients use emergen-

cy rooms for non-emergency problems instead of going to an urgent care clinic or primary care provider.

While hospitals and insurance companies contest the question of costs, Illinois is poised for a possible miniature boom in miniature ERs. The state now has five standalone emergency rooms.

Fewer than 300 hospitals in the U.S. have free-standing emergency departments, but that is nearly double the number there were in 2005, according to an American Hospital Association survey.

Dr. Alex Rosenau, president-elect of the American College of Emergency Physicians, said he expects demand for emergency care to increase as President Barack Obama’s health care law expands the number of people with insurance starting in 2014.

Urgent care centers can handle problems that aren’t life-threatening, such as sprains, cuts, insect bites and simple broken bones. They usually are open late and on weekends.

In contrast, free-standing emergency centers are staffed around the clock. They can handle many life-threatening emergencies, although patients who need surgery and other complex procedures are transferred to full-service hospitals.

WASHINGTON – House conservatives opposed to more deficit spending tried Monday to chip away at the $50.7 billion superstorm Sandy aid package by requiring offsetting spending cuts to pay for recovery efforts and by stripping money for projects they say are unrelated to the Oct. 29 storm or not urgently needed.

The push by budget hawks for amendments sets up a fight with Northeast lawmakers in both parties eager to provide recovery aid for one of the worst storms ever to strike the region as the House moves toward expected votes today on the emergency spending package.

The base $17 billion bill by the House Appropriations Committee is aimed at immediate Sandy recovery needs, including $5.4 billion for New York and New Jersey transit systems and $5.4 billion for Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief aid fund.

Northeast lawmakers will have a chance to add to that bill with an amendment by Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., for an additional $33.7 billion, including $10.9 billion for public transportation projects.

“Congress shouldn’t keep passing massive ‘emergency’ relief bills that aren’t paid for, have little oversight, and are stuffed with pork,” the club said in a statement.

Sandy aid supporters, nonetheless, voiced confidence Monday they would prevail. The Senate passed a $60.4 billion Sandy aid package in December with bipartisan support.

“We have more than enough votes, I’m confident of that,” said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., claiming a base of strong support from Democrats as well as Republicans

from the Northeast and other states for both the base $17 billion bill and the amendment for the additional $33.7 billion.

King said GOP leaders told him to expect 12 to 15 amendments on the floor. The House Rules Committee was deciding which among more than 90 proposed amendments, many from conservatives seeking to strike additional aid for past disasters and some projects not directly related to Sandy, would advance to the floor for consideration.

“With that many amendments, one could sneak through,” King said. “We should be able to defeat the important amendments,

though.”

Meanwhile, the House overwhelmingly approved, on a 403-0 vote Monday night, a bill to change FEMA regulations that critics blame for slowing down recovery efforts. The bill would let FEMA make limited repairs to victims’ homes in place of lease payments or the traditional agency trailers.

It also would permit FEMA to make disaster grants based on estimated damage costs instead of waiting for states and communities to seek reimbursement for repairs, and it would established an “expedited” federal environmental review process for projects for protecting against future storms.

CHAMPAIGN – School officials in a central Illinois town are considering training a handful of administrators as auxiliary police officers and letting them carry concealed handguns at the local high school.

But it’s illegal in Illinois to carry concealed weapons, so the proposal suggests a way around the law: Making a few administrators volunteer auxiliary police officers, Washington police Chief Jim Kuchenbecker said.

But those administrators would only be allowed to carry guns on campus.

Kuchenbecker and school Superintendent Jim Dunnan came up with the idea and planned to talk about it with school board members in Washington,

Give voters the option McHenry County voters deserve to decide how their County Board chairman is elected.

Maybe voters want to change For the record the current system, and be able The McHenry County Board to directly elect should place a referendum the County Board on the April 9 ballot asking chairman during voters how the board chairman a countywide elec- should be elected. tion.

Either way, voters should have that choice. It’s up to the current County Board to give that choice to voters, and it needs to do so.

Jan. 22 is the deadline to get a referendum on the April 9 ballot, so the board is running out of time. There is no election in November this year, so if the County Board does not get it on the April ballot, the next opportunity won’t be until March 2014.

Tonight is the last scheduled meeting of the County Board before the Jan. 22 deadline passes. But the board is not scheduled to discuss or vote on such a referendum item. In fact, no proposed referendum has been written.

Board members Nick Provenzano and Michael Walkup said Monday that they would push for a special meeting to be called to address this issue. We support their efforts.

Some members of the county’s Management Services Committee on Monday cited a handful of reasons why not to put a referendum on the April ballot, including the timing of the April election (too soon) and questions about whether the referendum should call for a two-year chairmanship or a four-year.

We see these more as excuses not to put the item on the ballot.

During the runup to last November’s general election, the vast majority of candidates running for McHenry County Board said they would, if elected, vote to put a referendum on the ballot.

Board members can’t let one of their first acts of 2013 be to break a campaign promise.

If it takes a special County Board meeting, so be it.

Get a referendum on the ballot.

Voters should decide this issue.

The same things your mother told you as a child are still critical today as the nation experiences what is expected to be its worst flu season in a decade.

And it’s early, too. The flu season just got under way two months ago and can run as late as April or early May. That’s precisely what has health experts on edge – that and the fact that the traditional flu season is being supplemented by the arrival of a new kind of intestinal bug and the worst outbreak of whooping cough in more than 50 years.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Madigan and pensions

To the Editor: This could be just a story or it could be true. You decide.

About 30 years ago, a teacher who has been teaching for some 30 years decides to retire at age 55. Or this could be a state union employee. But about the same time, Mike Madigan becomes speaker of the House in Springfield.

This teacher’s retirement is $2,500 a month, or $30,000 a year. He will receive a 3 percent cost-of-living raise every year.

Now I’m not saying this was Speaker Madigan’s idea, but it is something he should have looked at 30 years ago. But Speaker Madigan likes teachers (votes) and he likes state employees (votes).

Let’s move the clock ahead 30 years, and it is now 2013. Mike Madigan is still speaker of the House, and the state is in a financial mess.

We have the lowest bond rating of any of the 50 states. How could this be?

Let’s go back to the teacher. Oh, yes, he is still alive and is now 85 years old. Remember, he has been getting a 3 percent COLA raise every year. His retirement is now, after 30 full years of retirement, $6,064.76 a month, or $72,777.17 a year. Just think if he would live 10 more years?

Also, Speaker Madigan wants to let gays get married and give driver’s licenses to those who don’t belong here. What will Illinois look like in 30 years?

Same standards

To the Editor: Federal, state, and local employees and elected officials should have to abide by the same laws that the rest of us do. What would the Illinois state pension programs look like if they had been held to the same standards and requirements as the Employment Retirement Income Security Act, passed in 1974, and the Pension Protection Act of 2006?

I suggest we wouldn’t have a $96 billion unfunded liability. If it’s good enough for the public, it should be good enough for “public servants.”

It’s interesting to note that both of those acts were signed into law by Republican presidents. The same standard should be applied to all laws, health care included.

That means Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, everything.

Playing chicken

To the Editor: Well, it’s 2013. It looks like we slipped and almost fell off the fiscal cliff, but at the last minute we caught our balance and seemingly “avoided” it.

For the first time in 20 years, wealthy Americans are going to see a relatively substantial tax increase, and the rest of us will endure the hiccup of the expiration of President Barack Obama’s stimulus-inspired, 2 percent payroll tax holiday that many say shouldn’t have been implemented in the first place.

Violent video games

With that being said, I firmly believe that games, not guns, foment the violence in our society.

What passes for entertainment in this country, be it the big screen or video games in one’s living room, border on the obscene.

Video games are the most violent – points and kills become synonymous. After hours of playing these games, is it any wonder how reality can be blurred, especially if an individual is not balanced.

A common thread I’ve noticed in these mass killings is the clothes they wear. They’re not committing these atrocities in T-shirt and jeans, shorts and flip-flops. They are role-playing, and are taking great care to dress themselves in garb that reflects their heroes. Unfortunately, their heroes no longer wear white hats.

There’s another school of thought that the perpetrators of these heinous acts are striving for fame by being the top story in a 24-hour news cycle. I do not agree, but if it were the case, why not create legislation that would not allow the assailant’s name to be published until he’s buried or his trial starts.

Steve Moore Cary

Ronald Reagan and the ongoing debate about gun control WASHINGTON – Unlike many who recently have joined the debate about gun rights, I have a long history with guns, which I proffer only in the interest of pre-empting the “elitist, liberal, swine, prostitute, blahblahblah” charge.

I grew up in a home with guns, lots of them, and was taught early how to shoot, care for firearms, and treat them respectfully. My father’s rules were simple: Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them; if you intend to shoot, aim to kill.

Dear ol’ dad was a law-and-order guy – a lawyer, judge and World War II veteran who did everything by the book – except when it came to guns. Most memorable among his many lectures was a confidence: “There is only one law in the land that I would break,” he told me. “I will never register my guns.”

I suppose if he hadn’t also opposed bumper stickers, he might have attached the one about “cold dead fingers” to his fender. He also might have liked a slogan I read re-

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

cently: “With guns, we are citizens; without them, we are subjects.”

By today’s standards, my father would be considered a gun nut, but his sentiments were understandable in the context of his time. Like others of his generation, he had witnessed Germany’s disarming of its citizenry and the consequences thereafter. Thus, the slippery slope of which gun-rights advocates speak is not without precedent or reason.

But the history of gun control laws is not without contradictions and ironies that belie the current insistence that guns-withoutcontrols is the ipso facto of originalist America. In fact, the federal government of our Founders made gun ownership mandatory for white males, while denying others – slaves and later freedmen – the privilege.

Today, the most vociferous defenders of gun rights tend to be white, rural males who oppose any regulation. But theirs was once the ardently held position of radical African-Americans. Notably, in the 1960s, Black Panthers Bobby

VIEWS Kathleen Parker Seale and Huey Newton toted guns wherever they went to make a point: Blacks needed guns to protect themselves in a country that wasn’t quite ready to enforce civil rights.

In one remarkable incident in May 1967, as recounted in The Atlantic by UCLA law professor Adam Winkler, 24 men and six women, all armed, ascended the California capitol steps, read a proclamation about gun rights and proceeded inside – with their guns, which was legal at the time.

Needless to say, conservatives, including then-Gov. Ronald Reagan, were suddenly very, very interested in gun control. That afternoon, Reagan told reporters there was “no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.”

The degree of one’s allegiance

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

to principle apparently depends mainly on who is holding the gun.

While black activists were adamant about their right to protect themselves, the National Rifle Association wasn’t much interested in the constitutional question until the mid-’70s when an organizational split produced a new leader, Harlon Carter, who was dedicated to advocacy and determined to dig a deep line in the Beltway sand.

The Second Amendment debate about what the Founders intended was clarified in 2008 when the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller determined that the right of the people to keep and bear arms included individuals, not just a “well-regulated militia.”

However, as Winkler pointed out, Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinion left wiggle room for exceptions, including prohibitions related to felons and the mentally ill. Scalia was not casting doubt, the justice wrote, on “laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”

This still leaves open the loophole of private sales that do not require background checks, which President Barack Obama wants to close. We will hear more about this in coming weeks, but the call meanwhile to ban assault weapons or limit magazines in the wake of the horrific mass murder of children and others at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut is hardly draconian. It won’t solve the problem of mentally disturbed people exacting weird justice from innocents, but it might limit the toll. Having to stop one’s rampage to reload rather breaks the spell, or so one would imagine.

One also imagines that the old Reagan would say there’s no reason a citizen needs an assault weapon or a magazine that can destroy dozens of people in minutes. He would certainly be correct and, in a sane world, possibly even electable.

Soldiers stop a public minibus Monday at a checkpoint at a bridge in Markala on the road to Diabaly in central Mali. Despite intensive aerial bombardments by French warplanes, Islamist insurgents grabbed more territory in Mali on Monday and got much closer to the capital, French and Malian authorities said.

Islamists gaining ground despite French aid in Mali The ASSOCIATED PRESS BAMAKO, Mali – Despite a punishing aerial bombardment by French warplanes, al-Qaida-linked insurgents grabbed more territory in Mali on Monday, seizing a strategic military camp that brought them far closer to the government’s seat of power.

Declaring France had “opened the gates of hell” with its assault, the rebels threatened retribution.

“France ... has fallen into a trap much more dangerous than Iraq, Afghanistan or Somalia,” declared Omar Ould Hamaha, a leader of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, one of the rebel groups controlling the north, speaking on French radio Europe 1.

French fighter jets have been pummeling the insurgents’ desert stronghold in the north since Friday, determined to shatter the Islamist domination of a region many fear could become a launching pad for terrorist attacks on the

West and a base for coordination with al-Qaida in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

The Islamist fighters responded with a counter-offensive Monday, overrunning the garrison town of Diabaly, about 100 miles north of Segou, the administrative capital of central Mali, said French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

The French Embassy in Bamako immediately ordered the evacuation of the roughly 60 French nationals in the Segou region, said a French citizen who insisted on anonymity out of fear for her safety.

France expanded its aerial bombing campaign, launching airstrikes for the first time in central Mali to combat the new threat. But the intense assault, including raids by gunship helicopters and Mirage fighter jets, failed to halt the advance of the rebels, who were only 250 miles from the capital, Bamako, in the far south.

The rebels “took Diabaly after fierce fighting and resis-

tance from the Malian army, that couldn’t hold them back,” said Le Drian, the French defense minister.

Mali’s military is in disarray and has let many towns fall with barely a shot fired since the insurgency in the West African nation began almost a year ago. While the alQaida-linked extremists control the north, they had been blocked in the narrow central part of the landlocked nation.

They appear to have now done a flanking move, opening a second front in the broad southern section of the country, knifing in from the west on government forces.

In response to the insurgent advances, Mauritania, which lies to the northwest of Mali, put its military on high alert. To the south, the nation of Burkina Faso sent military reinforcements to its border and set up roadblocks. Even Algeria, which had earlier argued against a military intervention, was helping France by opening its air space to French Rafale jets.

HAVANA – Cubans formed long lines outside travel agencies and migration offices in Havana on Monday as a highly anticipated new law took effect, ending the island’s much-hated exit visa requirement.

The measure means the end of both real and symbolic obstacles to travel by islanders, although it is not expected to result in a mass exodus. Most Cubans are now eligible to leave with just a current passport and

Continued from page A1 national identity card, just like residents of other countries.

And there have been signs that even islanders in sensitive roles – or open opposition to the Communist government – will be included, a key litmus test of the reforms’ scope. Two Cuban dissidents said they were told they will now be allowed to travel after being blocked multiple times in the past.

Control over who can travel now largely shifts to other governments, which will decide whether to grant entry visas.

54K Mexicans petition for stronger U.S. gun control MEXICO CITY – More than 54,000 Mexicans have signed a petition calling on the United States to take further steps to combat weapons trafficking.

Mexico says the majority of guns used by the country’s violent drug cartels are smuggled over the border from the United States. Mexico’s best-known anti-violence activist, Javier Sicilia, presented the petition at the U.S. embassy Monday.

Industry has survived previous drops • TRAVEL

Continued from page A1 Still, Jay Campbell, editorial director at Business Travel News, said corporate travel is healthy.

“As far as now and going forward, people are pretty comfortable that business travel isn’t free-falling as it was in ’08, ’09,” he said. “But nobody’s really comfortable that it’s going to be growing with any kind of gusto anytime soon.”

The recession and – going back further – the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks caused serious shocks to the demand levels for flights. But the market recovered steadily each time, Campbell said.

Corporate travel also has survived the challenges presented by technology, he added.

“They like to make it sort of a black-and-white answer – ‘Video conferencing replaces corporate travel, end of story,’ ” Campbell continued.

“But really it’s just a factor.”

Business travel makes up about 35 percent to 40 percent of airline traffic. But because they’re generally repeat customers, business travelers

Hubbard’s company is part of a network of similar businesses nationally. He estimated that the network has cut business travel in half to save money, using things such as webcasts and conference calls. But there’s no replacement for in-person contact, he said.

“I’m in the relationship business, and we need to get out and see our clients periodically,” he said. “A phone

call and a webcam just won’t do it.”

At a conference in Las Vegas two years ago, a snowstorm shut down the airport right before Hubbard was scheduled to fly back to Chicago. It took him three days to get back – the result of others trying to reschedule onto already crowded flights.

“A lot of flights were half full before 9/11,” Hubbard said. “Now you don’t find that anymore. You find very few empty seats.”

chairman and vice chairman not to serve more than three consecutive terms. The full County Board overwhelmingly rejected the idea of putting unenforceable language in its rules.

Committee members Monday also advanced the idea of taking away the chairman’s ability to appoint committee chairmanships with the consent of the full board.

Some board members have alleged over the years that the power gives an incumbent board chairman an unfair advantage, given that there are 11 standing committees and 13 votes are needed to be re-elected.

“That’s the real evil,” Walkup said. “We could address that.”

Nine of the state’s 102 counties, which includes Cook, allow voters to elect the county board chairman.

Those counties tend to have larger populations and include larger cities, such as the collar counties, Rockford and the East St. Louis area.

All of them are elected to four-year terms, Kelly said.

State law allows county governments to go to an elected chairman without a referendum during the redistricting process after each decennial U.S. Census. The topic arose in 2011 when the County Board tweaked its district boundaries but did not move forward.

Voters already face one countywide referendum in April.

The County Board in November voted to advance a referendum asking voters to create a “377 Board” with its own property-tax levy to help fund agencies that serve residents with developmental disabilities.

an executive with wide-ranging powers. Voters ended up rejecting the executive referendum by a 2-to-1 margin.

“I think it’s absolutely a bargain that we need to fulfill,” Provenzano said.

New County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, gave the committee the task of exploring the referendum as its first order of business, citing voter interest in the topic.

Committee members, who had the item up for discussion but did not have a resolution to vote on, decided instead to pursue reforms through changing County Board rules.

The committee is given the task after every general election of reviewing those rules and recommending changes.

The fact that a resolution was not ready to go is the reason why Walkup is pushing for a special board meeting. Although the full County Board already is scheduled to meet tonight, a referendum is not on the agenda.

“Why didn’t we have a resolution to consider at today’s meeting rather than have a bunch of empty talk?”

Walkup said Monday afternoon.

Committee members cited numerous problems they had with a referendum, not the least of which was the timetable for an April vote.

“Act in haste, repent at leisure. We could end up with something we do not want that is not in the best interests of the county,” said member Anna May Miller, R-Cary.

State law itself, which allows the option of two- or four-year terms for elected chairmen, posed a problem for committee members. A two-year term requires the chairman to be a board member under the law, but the law does not address what to do if a candidate wins the chairmanship but loses the board seat.

But a four-year term was too much for other committee members. Without the power to enact term limits or recall elected officials, committee member Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said an elected chairman could become entrenched and reduce accountability.

“To me, if I am going to the voters, I’d better be darned well sure that I’m not making the problem worse,” Kurtz said.

Walkup and fellow board freshman Michael Skala, RHuntley, suggested putting term limits for the chairman in the County Board rules despite the fact that state law does not empower counties to impose them.

Skala said that no chairman would dare challenge the rule in court out of fear of looking like a power-hungry czar.

However, Donna Kelly, McHenry County state’s attorney civil division chief, and Assistant State’s Attorney Jana Blake Dickson advised against approving any authority not specifically allowed under the law.

Kelly advised that any county voter, not just the chairman, could challenge County Board rules in court.

The committee after the 2010 election suggested adding a “recommendation” to the board rules asking the

The report estimates that revenue from state taxes and federal assistance will increase by $600 million for the 2014 budget year that starts July 1.

However, it also says pension obligations will increase by $945 million, wiping out the increase in revenues.

Worse, some federal money may not materialize because of ongoing budget talks in Washington, Pallasch said.

“It’s still not clear what the impact might be on the state budget,” Pallasch said.

“Some federal aid to states may be cut.”

Still, the numbers predict a reduction of about $864 million in the state’s $8.3 billion backlog of unpaid bills.

“Spending reductions and program efficiencies will enable the state to continue to reduce the backlog of past due bills while continuing to provide basic support for its

statutory obligations for education, public safety, health care, human services and other government mandated programs,” the report says.

The outline says spending on state employee health insurance is likely to more than double, to nearly $1.2 billion, in the next budget. Employee group health insurance was deliberately given less money than it needed in the current budget, leading to significant payment delays for medical services.

“We’ve basically run out of money this year to pay for group health insurance,” Pallasch said.

The administration is trying to get lawmakers to approve more money for health insurance in the current budget.

The report indicates a 15 percent cut in spending on economic development and further reductions in human services spending except for programs administered by the departments on Aging and Human Services.

The picture gets even

worse in the 2015 and 2016 budget years if the bulk of the 67 percent income tax increase is allowed to expire at the end of calendar 2014 (the midpoint of the 2015 budget year).

Spending on education programs is projected to drop by more than $1.4 billion, and the broad category of human services will see a $1 billion reduction.

The rollback of the 2011 temporary income tax hike, coupled with increased pension costs, will require a wholesale review of state budgets, the report concluded.

“Fiscal year 2015 and 2016 will require much larger reductions in spending, requiring extensive program redesign to meet the projected budget targets,” it said. “The budget will be balanced with across-the-board spending reductions of 5.7 percent and 13.6 percent in fiscal years 2015 and 2016, respectively.”

D-300 may keep all fees flat District officials say parents need a break in tough economy By sTePHeN di BeNedeTTo

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

ALGONQUIN – District 300 is contemplating keeping all student fees flat for next year, a decision the administration said is meant to save parents money in a slow economy.

Annual registration fees from kindergarten to high school and tuition for the Carpentersville-

based district’s numerous preschool and kindergarten programs will be kept in line with current rates under a proposal presented to board members Monday.

The district found that its fees were about average compared to neighboring districts such as Huntley District 158. The large unit district last raised annual registration fees in 2010.

“Let’s maintain all of our fees due to the current economy,” Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin told members of the district’s financial panel before introducing the flat fees to the full board.

Harkin said the administration tinkered with the idea of raising tuition rates for the district’s select preschool and kindergarten programs, but she said

the administration didn’t want to overburden parents with tuition hikes while the district prepares to relocate the early-education programs to make room for lower elementary class sizes mandated by the new teacher contract.

The current rates for preschool programs range from $130 to $245 a month, depending on the

Next step

District 300 school board members will vote on the flat fee structure during their Jan. 28 meeting.

Huntley detective is Officer of the Year He helped halt insurance scam, traced crime gun By saraH suTscHek

ssutschek@shawmedia.com Detective Joe Willard of the Huntley Police Department has been named McHenry County’s Officer of the Year for his work on an alleged insurance scam

and recovering a gun that had been sold to a gang member.

In the first case, Willard spent months reviewing computer records and several file cabinets full of documents.

He determined a local insurance agent, Russell Palermo, had been taking payments from customers but not actually writing policies, Huntley Police Chief John Perkins said.

As a result, the victims believed they had insurance but actually were not covered.

More than 30 felony charges

and multiple misdemeanor counts are pending against Palermo.

“Detective Joe Willard’s ability to give maximum effort to every detail of this complex case prevented many of our citizens from suffering serious financial problems,” Perkins said. “Even though they were scammed out of insurance premiums, the situations could have been much worse if there was an incident requiring an insurance claim.”

The second case for which Willard was recognized involved

a residential burglary during which cash and a .38-caliber revolver had been stolen from a home.

Willard developed information that the gun had been sold to a gang member from Elgin.

He worked with detectives from the Elgin Police Department to locate the alleged gang member and confiscate the gun, all within 48 hours of the original report.

Four people were charged in that case.

Joe willard has been named McHenry County’s Officer of the Year.

Plea accepted in Cary board considers drug deal gone bad water, sewer rate hike

Dead man’s family unhappy with result By saraH suTscHek

ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Family members of a man who died after what police called a drug deal gone awry said they were unhappy with a plea deal given Monday to a woman who was involved.

Hanna Schacht, 22, of Woodstock, pleaded guilty to one count of theft under $500, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced to one year of conditional discharge.

An additional felony charge of failure to report an accident involving a death was dropped as part of the deal accepted by McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham.

A 120-day jail sentence was stayed, meaning Schacht will not have to serve it if she suc-

cessfully completes the terms of her conditional discharge. She also must pay a $500 fine plus court costs, complete drug addiction treatment and submit to several random drug screens.

Police said John C. Kurchina, 23, also of Woodstock, arranged Hanna to buy drugs from Schacht Joseph A. Woodell, 26, and went May 20 to a gathering at Woodell’s home on Lawndale Avenue.

Kurchina allegedly left without paying for one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana, and Woodell chased him. Kurchina got into a vehicle driven by Schacht, who sped off, police said.

But small drop in price to come first, if village OKs plan

By JosePH BusTos

jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Water and sewer users in the village of Cary may see a slight decrease in rates through April before 3 percent annual increases.

The Village Board is scheduled to vote today on water and sewer rates through April 2018.

As part of the proposed rate structure, the village wants to decrease water rates retroactive to Jan. 1. The average residential water and sewer user who uses 75,000 gallons a year would see a 0.38 percent decrease on the bill.

Then beginning in May, there

would be a 3 percent increase in rates each year through April 2018. That will bring in about $130,000 a year to the village.

The rate structure was recommended by Trilogy Consultants, which studied the water and sewer rates after being hired by the village to review the funds. It had been six years since Cary studied its rates.

Consultants looked at four years of financial reports and projected revenues and expenses. Consultants also evaluated the water and sewer facilities and capital improvement plans.

The 3 percent annual increases are needed to cover the anticipated operating expenses.

“This will help protect the village against imposing greatly fluctuating rates that have plagued other communities,” according to village documents.

Cary water use dropping • CARY

Continued from page B1

Officials expect water use to drop until it plateaus in 2016 at 70,000 gallons a year.

Use has dropped because foreclosures have left empty houses and more people are using devices to conserve water, officials have said.

As part of the proposal, the village will keep its fixed user rate as part of the billing structure at $2 a month.

There had been discussion as to whether to eliminate

the fixed portion of the bill.

“The fixed customer charge is typically used to diversify and stabilize revenues for the water and sewer utility,” according to a memo from the Village Board.

“It is based on the concept that there are utility costs that are not caused by the amount of water consumed or wastewater treated.”

Those costs are associated with meter-reading, billing, operation, maintenance and depreciation of water meters and hydrants, according to the memo.

7 others nominated for honor • OFFICER

Continued from page B1 Willard was given the second annual award from the McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association over the weekend at the Bull Valley Country Club.

The other nominees were officer Amy Bucci, Algonquin police; officers Kathy Eiring and Jason William-

son, Cary police; officer Jason Draftz, Lake in the Hills police; Detectives Craig Esperance and Jennifer Garafol, McHenry County Sheriff’s Office; and Detective George Kopulos, Woodstock police.

Last year, the award went to Woodstock police officer Adam Schraw, who saved a 9-month-old’s life by clearing a hair clip that was obstructing the baby’s airway.

TLC workdays set in Marengo, Johnsburg NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – The Land Conservancy’s winter workdays will be held this week at two sites in McHenry County.

• The Land of Oz: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday. This will be the group’s first volunteer restoration day at this 60acre wetland complex north of Marengo that TLC bought with grant funds in 2009. Volunteers are needed to clear invasive honeysuckle and buckthorn from under a grove of oak trees that sits at the center of the property. Volun-

teers should take Kishwaukee Valley Road west from Woodstock to the intersection with Deerpass and Menge roads (Deerpass will be on the left and Menge on the right). Turn right onto Menge and proceed about a half-mile, then look for the other cars parked along the side of the road. The group will hike back from there.

• Dutch Creek Conservation Area: 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. This will be the first restoration day of the year at this natural area with a highquality creek and remnant oak groves. The group will

be clearing buckthorn from along the creek. Visit the Dutch Creek volunteer website for information about the event and the project: www. sites.google.com/site/dutchcreekvolunteers/home. Volunteers should take Johnsburg Road east from Route 31 in Johnsburg, then turn left onto Riverside Drive (after about a half-mile). The volunteers will gather on Riverside Drive in Johnsburg, about a half-mile north of Johnsburg Road.

No experience is necessary; volunteers should wear

their work clothes and a pair of work gloves. The Land Conservancy will provide water and something sweet, such as brownies. At some events, something hot for lunch will be provided when the work is through. For information, call 815-337-9502 or email Melissa at mhormann@conservemc. org.

Board voted in recent weeks for tax increase • D-300

Continued from page B1 length of supervision. The district’s full-day kindergarten academy carries a tuition rate of $225 a month.

Annual registration fees for kindergarten through

12th grade this year include $100 for kindergarten, $125 for middle school and $135 for the high school level.

Other optional fees cover additional schooling and driver’s education at the high school level.

Board members will vote on the flat fee structure dur-

ing their Jan. 28 meeting.

Some members were strongly in favor of consecutive years of flat fees, arguing parents simply can’t afford more costs.

The proposal comes nearly a month after the board voted to increase its property tax levy that would raise taxes by

$144 for a homeowner with a home valued at $200,000.

“I wouldn’t look at changing anything because you’ll run a rough challenge with that with the public and probably some of the board members,” board member Chris Stanton told the finance panel.

Two men still face charges in drug theft incident • PLEA

Continued from page B1 In an attempt to stop them, Woodell jumped onto the vehicle and was thrown onto the street, police said. He hit his head on the pavement and died about a week later at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

Several of Woodell’s family

members were present Monday when Schacht’s deal went through. They had a brief, heated exchange with members of Schacht’s family.

Schacht should have gotten a harsher sentence, Woodell’s family said.

Woodell’s sister, Laurie Christison, said that he would smoke pot and sell a little to afford it, but he didn’t deserve to die.

Woodell’s criminal record includes a 2007 court supervision sentence for producing fewer than five marijuana plants.

While Schacht may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, she didn’t do the right thing, Christison said.

“I don’t care if cocaine was involved. I don’t care if [it was] 20 ounces or 20 pounds of marijuana,” she said. “How do

you live with yourself, leaving someone laying in the street? I couldn’t.”

Woodell’s father, Lawrence Woodell, said he is considering filing a civil lawsuit against everyone involved.

Kurchina and another man, William B. Howell, 23, were charged with theft under $500. Kurchina’s next court date is Jan. 29; Howell’s case is up Feb. 6.

The 2013 Dodge Dart was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last week. The Dart, which debuted with much fanfare at last year’s Detroit auto show, got off to a slow start after going on sale in May 2012. Only 25,000 have sold, which CEO Sergio Marchionne concedes is short of his expectations.

Disappointing Dart

Chrysler CEO says sales fall short of expectations

By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer

DETROIT – Chrysler made the new Dodge Dart a little too European for American tastes.

And the company’s CEO says that fact is holding back sales of Chrysler’s first innovative small car in years.

The Dart, manufactured in Belvidere and unveiled with much fanfare at last year’s Detroit auto show, is off to a slow start after going on sale in May. Only 25,000 were sold last year, which CEO Sergio Marchionne concedes is below his expectations.

Chrysler, owned by Italy’s Fiat, had touted the sleek compact as the perfect blend of aggressive American styling and Italian technology. It was supposed to be Chrysler’s first competitive compact since the Dodge Neon came out in the 1990s.

But on Monday at this year’s Detroit show, Marchionne said the company made the mistake of rolling out the Dart with transmissions and engine combinations that were ill-suited for American drivers. The car initially went on the market with only a manual transmission, which accounts for less than 5 percent of U.S. sales. Then Chrysler offered two sixspeed automatic transmissions, one

that shifts like cars in Europe, and the other paired with an engine too weak to make the Dart accelerate quickly.

Marchionne said the European transmission shifts more often and accelerates more slowly than Americans are used to.

“It’s a great fuel mileage solution, but it’s got to meet consumer expectations, and were not quite there,” Marchionne said. “If it’s a mismatch to consumer expectations, you’re going to pay the price, and we have.”

The solution, he says, is a ninespeed automatic transmission. The added gears will help the car accelerate faster and give it great mileage.

Chrysler is developing such a transmission in America that will first appear in a revamped Jeep Liberty small SUV later this year. The Liberty is to be unveiled at the New York Auto Show in March.

Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports’ director of automotive testing, said Darts with a 2-liter four-cylinder engine, and a conventional automatic transmission, are too slow. The European automatic behaves more like a manual transmission and isn’t to the liking of Americans, he said.

“I think in Europe they kind of forgive it,” said Fisher, who added that the transmission shifts like “someone

who’s not driving a manual transmission very well.”

He praised Marchionne for realizing the car’s shortcomings and quickly addressing them.

Chrysler never revealed sales expectations for the Dart, but it hoped the car would attract younger buyers.

Darts start at just under $16,000, $2,000 less than the Honda Civic, the top-selling compact in the U.S. The Dart is designed with a luxurious interior and sports-car handling.

Chrysler offered numerous options so buyers could customize their cars.

But so far, the Dart’s sales haven’t come close to leaders in the compact car segment. Honda sold nearly 318,000 Civics last year.

Marchionne is confident the Dart will eventually sell well. It offers far more features than competitors for the price, he says.

Although Chrysler named the Dart after a popular sedan from the 1960s and 1970s, it’s nothing like its predecessor.

Instead of the somewhat boxy lines of the original, the new Dart has the sleek stance of a modern muscle car, with a short hood, long roof and slightly flared fenders. And it’s based on the frame and suspension of a crisp-handling Alfa Romeo hatchback brought over by Chrysler’s Italian owner, Fiat SpA.

DETROIT – Toyota has once again dethroned General Motors as the world’s top-selling automaker.

The Japanese company sold 9.7 million cars and trucks worldwide in 2012, although it’s still counting.

GM sold 9.29 million.

Both companies saw higher sales, but Toyota’s growth was far larger as it rolled out new versions of popular models like the Camry. GM executives promised sales growth this year, especially in the U.S. Both companies say publicly that they don’t care about who wins, but concede that the crown is an important morale booster for employees.

GM was the top-selling carmaker for more than seven decades before losing the title to Toyota in 2008. But GM retook the sales crown in 2011 when Toyota’s factories were slowed by an earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The disaster left Toyota dealers with few cars to sell. The company has since recovered.

Toyota’s comeback from the earthquake, and flooding in Thailand, is only part of the story, says Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting for LMC Automotive, a Detroit-area industry forecasting firm. The company also has freshened up its stale midsize sedan, the Camry, the top-selling car in the United States.

GM’s global sales rose 2.9 percent last year, it announced Monday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Toyota sales rose 22 percent.

Corolla gets facelift The Associated Press DETROIT – The Toyota Corolla is getting a facelift. But the jury is still out on how extreme its makeover should be.

Toyota is hinting at a more daring style for the 2014 Corolla with the Furia, a concept car unveiled Monday at the Detroit auto show. The concept allows the cautious company to see how people react to its styling changes before it releases the final version of the Corolla, which is expected to go on sale sometime this year.

The world’s largest automaker knows it needs to update the stale Corolla if it wants to attract younger buyers, who have been flocking to newer, more stylish rivals like the Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra.

The Corolla was last revamped four

years ago.

Even though Corolla’s U.S. sales rose 21 percent to 290,947 last year, they trailed the Honda Civic, which was new in 2012. Civic sales jumped 44 percent to 317,909.

Still, it’s risky to toy with one of the best-selling cars in the world. Toyota has sold 200,000 Corollas every year in the U.S. for nearly two decades.

“It’s a tough balance. How do you appeal to younger buyers without alienating your older one?” says Larry Dominique, a former Nissan executive who is now president of car value forecaster ALG Inc. “And if you make a mistake, it’s very expensive to fix.”

The Furia ditches the current Corolla’s soft, bland styling in favor of sharper lines, a dramatically sloped windshield and hood, narrower and

Toyota says it wants the car to look like it’s in motion even when it’s parked. The Furia is slightly longer, narrower and shorter than the current Corolla.

Earl Stewart, a Toyota dealer in North Palm Beach, Fla., thinks the Furia is beautiful. But he worries

that it could turn off his customer base of retirees.

“With my customers, the jury is out on what they would say,” he says. “Some people just don’t like the rocket look about the car. They just want a car. They love Camrys and they love Corollas as they are.”

Top honors for Cadillac ATS, Ram 1500 pickup

By JEFF KAROUB AP Business Writer

DETROIT – The two U.S.-based automakers that emerged from bankruptcy protection in 2009 have earned bragging rights for two new vehicles.

General Motors’ Cadillac ATS and Chrysler’s Ram 1500 pickup on Monday won the 2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year. The winners were unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

“We worked tirelessly with blood, sweat and tears to come through the hell we’ve been through,” Fred Diaz, president and chief executive of the Ram brand, said after the award was announced. “What a difference three years makes.”

Other truck and utility finalists were the Ford C-Max and Mazda CX-5. The other car finalists were

This is the 20th year of the awards, voted on by 49 automotive

journalists from the United States and Canada. A vehicle must be all new or substantially changed to be eligible.

The word utility was added to the name this year because of the rising number of crossover vehicles.

The choices represent an aim to recognize the vehicles’ overall quality: The judges evaluate finalists on value, innovation, handling, performance, safety, and driver satisfaction. Organizers accept no advertising, though carmakers try to capitalize on the marketing value of the honors.

The awards also provide some vindication for GM and Chrysler, which went through bankruptcy after the industry collapsed in 2008.

Diaz said the award comes at a key time for the company as pickup truck sales have started to rebound.

He expects the award to help the Ram, which garnered the award in 1994, generate even more sales.

Hospital employees Conserve to Preserve

ELGIN – Presence Saint Joseph Hospital employees launched a Conserve to Preserve sustainability initiative last week to increase environmental awareness of the importance of reducing waste, recycling and conserving resources.

Hospital President and CEO Eugene J. McMahon invited employees to sign a banner and pledge to consistently commit to one ecofriendly thing at home or at work, to heighten awareness of the environment. The Conserve to Preserve effort is focused on benefits to people, planet and profit.

“By engaging in resource recycling and conservation activities, we impact a triple bottom line – improving the environment, engaging others in sustainability initiatives and ultimately saving money,” said Al Jensen, assistant vice president of facilities.

The reliable Corolla is still a strong performer for Stewart, who sells 700 or 800 per year, about one-quarter of his dealership’s sales. But Stewart understands that Toyota has to appeal to younger buyers with a sportier look and feel.

“It’s risky, but sooner or later, you’ve got to get into the youth game,” he says.

Toyota also needs to up the ante on horsepower, fuel economy and options in an increasingly competitive market. The current Corolla starts at $16,230, slightly more than the Ford Focus.

Sales of full-size pickups rose 9 percent last year, but the growth accelerated in the last three months of the year. Sales of the refurbished Ram, which gets up to 25 mpg on the highway, rose nearly 20 percent.

Diaz said there’s a direct correlation between the housing industry and pickup sales, and housing has been on the rise recently.

“From a timing standpoint, I really think we’re hitting the mark just right,” he said.

David Leone, GM’s executive chief engineer for performance luxury vehicles, said

If you smoke cigarettes, you are risking more than you think. But thanks to support from a new breakthrough product, you can quit naturally and actually regain your health.

Here’s how...

By Joseph Sugarman The statistics are scary, a vast number of smokers die of lung or throat cancer.

But the good news is that non smokers can avoid 90% of lung, throat and esophageal cancer (conversely, 90% of them are caused by smoking). Smokers are many times more likely to suffer heart attacks than non-smokers. Smoking is a leading cause of wrinkles and premature skin aging and a leading cause of erectile dysfunction in men.

In women it causes breasts to sag, teeth to yellow, wrinkles to form around the eyes and a host of other changes in the mouth.

But you don’t have to end up a statistic.

No need to continue a smoking habit that is slowly killing you when you can quit and join the millions of others who have quit. Introducing ModeraXL™. What you are about to read, if you smoke, may just change your life.

HERE’S WHAT OUR SATISFIED USERS ARE SAYING...

“With the ModeraXL I’m not having cravings. I had substantial cravings at first but once I got on ModeraXL I’m not feeling the cravings at all.” - Ryan L. “No I did not think that I would ever be without cravings. That’s a big thing to deal with every day.

ModeraXL helped me to get healthy again, get in the gym, get working out and get my life back.” - Matt C. “A life without cigarettes would be freedom, health and happiness. In just two weeks of using ModeraXL I was able to cut my smoking basically in half. I didn’t think I’d see these results in just two weeks. It is beyond me and right then and there I knew I might have something that actually might work for me.” - Debbie S. “I’ve been smoking for 14 years and to see results from ModeraXL in just 14 days is unbelievable.

Two weeks ago I said I wanted my life back and I truly think that ModeraXL is helping me on the right path” - Sean P.

But the Focus has better fuel economy and a more powerful engine. Toyota doesn’t offer an optional rearview camera, which is now available on every other competitor, or safety features like blind-spot monitors, which are found on the Chevrolet Cruze and others.

Toyota builds 70 percent of the cars it sells in the U.S. in North America. The Corolla is currently made in Canada.

Toyota hasn’t yet said where the 2014 Corolla will be made.

The Corolla – which means “crown” in Latin – was introduced in Japan in 1966 and came to the U.S. two years later. The new sedan went a long way toward changing U.S. buyers’ perception of

the automaker “worked tirelessly for five years to bring the car to market.” That included months where no product in the pipeline — or even the survival of the company — was certain. Leone said he expects the award will help propel sales for the small luxury car that seeks to compete with the BMW 3-Series.

The award’s history shows an edge for U.S.-based automakers. They have won the car award 10 times and the truck award 12 times. European makers have won the car four times and truck three times.

Japanese have won car three times and truck four times. A Korean automaker, Hyundai, has won the car honor twice.

Toyota as a maker of cheap, poorly built cars. The Corolla was still inexpensive, but had innovations like two-speed wipers, an improved suspension and more comfortable seats. Buyers were further impressed when Toyota – responding to the U.S. market – quickly added more powerful engines.

As a result, the Corolla became the go-to car for generations of young graduates and their downsizing parents, who bought for quality and price despite the ho-hum styling.

Last year, it was surpassed only by the midsize Camry and the hybrid Prius in Toyota’s U.S. lineup, and it was the 8th best-selling vehicle in the U.S.

SLEEP BETTER, LIVE LONGER Scientists have discovered the core source of addiction, and have produced a product that works effectively to support restoration of your health while dramatically reducing cravings. In short, if you want to give up smoking or any addiction, we’ve got the natural product that will help. Here’s why.

When you’re addicted, you not only face health issues from the addiction itself but you also destroy your brain’s vital neurotransmitters.

Our neurotransmitters are natural brain chemicals that mediate mood and allow us to feel calm, energized, happy, excited, rewarded, focused and able to sleep. By depleting the neurotransmitters, thinking is impaired and the desire for the addictive substance increases.

It’s a vicious cycle. But you can now stop that cycle with a new vitamin-based product called ModeraXL. Here’s what it does.

VITAMINS FOR THE BRAIN™ ModeraXL is actually vitamins for the brain—nutrients such as amino acids, herbs, vitamins and minerals that help to balance the brain chemistry and restore normal brain function. These nutrients help to build neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, gaba, epenephrin, norepinephrin and are also known to help rebuild other vital functions in the body of someone who has an addiction. ModeraXL is a powerful mix that dramatically reduces cravings. And here’s the best part. It works on practically all addictions—from smoking to drugs from alcohol to over eating. It doesn’t “treat” the addiction, it nourishes the normal functions the re-covering addict seeks to restore.

Scientists have been able to create a vitamin powder in single-serve on the go packets that you mix with water and drink.

ModeraXL tastes great, and with only 15 calories per packet, goes to work right away to repair and balance your brain chemistry.

Take one packet in the morning and one with lunch then watch how quickly you feel the effects as your cravings start to dramatically decrease while you have more energy and stamina. The results were so spectacular that soon clinics and rehab centers were set up to administer these nutrients.

Robin Roberts’ grueling road to recovery will be bringing her back to the “Good Morning America” anchor desk soon.

Appearing from her home on Monday’s show, Roberts wore a broad smile as she announced her most recent bone marrow test showed no sign of the life-threatening disease that has kept her off the air for months.

That means she can begin the process of returning to the anchor chair, she said, emphasizing she needs to go through a “process of re-entry.”

She said she hopes to be back “in weeks, not months,” perhaps as soon as February.

Globes ratings rise

examination of the Connecticut school shooting.

PBS announced Monday it will air a series of programs under the umbrella title “After Newtown.” The February series will “continue the public conversation” on the topics of gun laws, mental illness and school security, PBS said.

The Nielsen Co. says Sunday’s Golden Globes awards ceremony got a nice ratings bump over last year.

With Tina Fey and Amy Poehler handling host duties, the NBC telecast was seen by 19.7 million viewers. That’s an audience growth of 2.8 million viewers (or 17 percent) over last year’s show, which was Tina Fey hosted by Ricky Gervais.

It was the top-rated Globes in six years, according to national figures released Monday.

AP source: Armstrong ‘sorry’ Lance Armstrong stopped at his Livestrong Foundation before heading to an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Monday and delivered an emotional apology to staff members, some of whom broke down in tears, a person with direct knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussion was private.

Stripped last year of his seven Tour de France titles because of doping charges, Armstrong addressed the staff and said, “I’m sorry.” The person said the disgraced cyclist choked up and several employees cried during the session.

The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk, but he did not make a direct confession to the group about using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation’s reputation and urged the group to continue fighting for the charity’s mission of helping cancer patients and their families.

After the meeting, Armstrong, his legal team and close advisers gathered at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview. The cyclist was to make a limited confession to Winfrey about his role as the head of a long-running scheme to dominate the Tour with the aid of performance-enhancing drugs, a person with knowledge of the situation told the AP. The session will be broadcast Thursday.

Wrestler Hulk Hogan has filed a lawsuit against the Tampa-based Laser Spine Institute, saying the clinic did unnecessary surgeries that damaged his career.

The Tampa Bay Times reports Hogan filed the lawsuit Monday. He filed under his real name, Terry Bollea. It seeks damages of $50 million.

In addition to claiming unnecessary surgeries, the lawsuit also says the Laser Spine Institute used an endorsement from Hogan without permission or payment.

Some of the bruises found on Natalie Wood’s body may have happened before the actress drowned in the waters off Southern California more than 30 years ago, according to a newly released coroner’s report on the mysterious death.

The case took another twist Monday when officials released a 10-page addendum to Wood’s 1981 autopsy that cites unexplained bruises and scratches on Wood’s face and arms as significant factors that led to officials changing her death certificate last year from a drowning to “drowning and other undetermined factors.”

Officials were careful about their conclusions because they lacked several pieces of evidence for their review.

Dear Neighbor: This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 12 years old. Because, yes, it’s absolutely true... you can actually replace your old (and probably very inefficient) gas furnace and air conditioner as a package for $1,000 less than you would have to pay at any other time.

Please allow me to explain...

Every year, the months of January, February, and March can “destroy” my business. I end up losing a ton of money during these “business destroyer” months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. I’m looking for the same thing to happen this year.

That is why...

My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You

I employ great people and I want to keep them working during these long hard months. That is why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a profit during the “business destroyer” months.

If I can only minimize my losses during January, February, and March, I will come out ahead of the other nine months.

Here’s how this (admittedly daring) offer came about.

I have analyzed my business and determined the air conditioners and gas furnaces in the most popular sizes used in our area.

I am willing to take a huge risk and obligate to sell 126 brand new matched systems before the end of March.

By letting you win big now, I will win at the end of the year.

Ron Magrini I’m betting that if I make you an Owner offer that is “irrestible” (at least it should be if your gas furnace or air conditioner is over 12 years old) and I barely mark it up above the price I paid, I will accomplish two things: 1. I can pay my professional staff to work instead of sending them home.

2. I will cover my rent, utilities, insurance and taxes in the “business destroyer” months.

If I can accomplish these two objectives, I will minimize my losses and the rest of the year, I can be a winner.

THEY WROTE IT

From Tracee Hamilton The Washington Post

Can you just watch, or do you have to root? That is the question: whether ‘tis nobler to pick a team to cheer for during the NFL playoffs, watch as an impartial observer, or – brace yourself Tom Brady – do something other than watch pro football next weekend. ... Washington Redskins fans have had a lot of Januarys in which to perfect the craft of dealing with a Redskins-less playoffs. For those new fans who came aboard this season with the arrival of Robert Griffin III, you can choose from several approaches.

The “Love/Hate Theory,” in which you pick a team based on your feelings for a particular player or coach.

Thus some will cheer for the Patriots because of Tom Brady, while others will cheer for the Ravens because of . . . Tom Brady. I will pull for the Falcons because of Tony Gonzalez, who deserves to win a ring before he retires, and the Chiefs certainly didn’t manage it for him.

Developing affection for players or coaches with whom you have little or no connection is as inexplicable as love itself.

Tim Tebow became so popular – and eventually polarizing – that his name became a verb.

Then he went to New York and vanished. Jeremy Lin developed an almost crazed national following from New York. Then he left New York and vanished.

(Not really, but compared to Linsanity, it seems he has.)

The conversations will be missed.

Like the ones on the sideline with the venerable official. During a game.

In between plays.

Or while plays were taking place.

There were always conversations because Elroy Fitzgerald never met a stranger. Wherever he went, he’d be talking sports with someone … occasionally while he was supposed to be working.

“We were doing a freshman game at Marengo, and [former Marengo athletic director] Rod Poppe was running the clock for [then AD] Becky Elroy [Weinhandl],” said Fitzgerald John Vito, a referee and Marengo resident. “Rod and Elroy started talking at halftime and we had to start the third quarter without Elroy. We blew through a couple minutes without him.”

The conversations will be missed.

Fitzgerald died at his home Sunday night. in Cary He was 83 years old. His wake will be held on Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Cary. The funeral service will be at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algonquin at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Fitzgerald was the unofficial patriarch of McHenry County sports, a man who played sports, then officiated for 50-plus years in football, basketball and baseball. He was still officiating junior high school basketball games and was slated to work one at Algonquin Middle School on Monday, but had called over the weekend to cancel because of a cold.

“Fitz was a historical figure for Cary-Grove,” C-G AD Jim Altendorf said. “He was a fixture for CaryGrove and a tremendous advocate for athletics. He just loved athletics. He’s a big reason why athletics have gone from being more of a rec thing to where they are today. He saw more of a role athletics could play in the educational environment.”

One of Fitzgerald’s three daughters, Linda Sanfilippo, said he was instrumental in pushing for girls sports in the 1970s.

Bears will get 21st century offense from finalists Maybe Jimmy Johnson was right, after all.

Three finalists have emerged in the search for the Bears’ next head coach, according to published reports.

Ten other candidates will become Bears trivia answers some day.

The trio of Bears finalists includes Canadian Football League coach Marc Trestman and Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, according to ESPN, as well as Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, according to the Sun-Times.

All three candidates fit the mold of

VIEWS Tom Musick what Emery said he wanted.

The Bears needed someone who could install a 21st century offense at Halas Hall, and all three finalists have proved to be capable play-callers in the NFL. Trestman called plays for four NFL teams before he accepted a head coaching job with the Montreal Alouettes. Bevell served as the

offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings before taking the same job with the Seahawks. Arians has drawn high praise during his career as the play-caller for the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and now the Colts.

No matter which finalist gets the job, that person will offer a stark contrast to Lovie Smith.

Wuensch reaches 1,000 in loss Marian’s career leader in points hits milestone in 4th quarter

But with 4:19 left to play in the Hurricanes’ 54-43 Suburban Christian Conference Blue Division loss to St. Francis, the Marian parents got the chance to put their homemade artwork to good use.

Shannon Wuensch stole the ball from the Spartans (11-9 overall, 2-0 SCC Blue) and raced down the court. With no one nearby, she scored the most memorable two points of her life – her 1,000th.

“I was thinking about it a lot lately because it had become prevalent. At the beginning of the year I never really thought about it, but the last couple of weeks I thought that it could be a possibility, and it was definitely on my mind throughout the game.”

“Isn’t that amazing,” Marian coach Jackie Budmayr said. “What an accomplishment, I mean seriously, what an accomplishment.

Lalor scores 17 for A-H in loss to Rockford Chr.

HEBRON – The Alden-Hebron boys basketball team lost, 90-44, to Rockford Christian in a Northeastern Athletic Conference game Monday.

Bryce Lalor led the Giants (5-10 overall, 1-2 NAC) with 17 points, and Ian Johnson added 11.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Reserves Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes each scored 16 points, and the Los Angeles Clippers easily routed the Memphis Grizzlies, 99-73, Monday night with Chris Paul missing his first game this season because of a bruised right kneecap.

The matchup between two of the best teams in the West wasn’t close much of the way.

While Paul watched from the bench, the Grizzlies were without their leading scorer: Rudy Gay was excused for his grandmother’s funeral in Baltimore.

Eric Bledsoe, starting for Paul, had 14 points, and Blake Griffin scored 10.

Zach Randolph had 15 for Memphis, which lost its second straight. Wayne Ellington added 11 in a rare start, and Darrell Arthur had 10.

Wizards 120, Magic 91: At Washington, Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 11 rebounds, leading six players in double figures for Washington in a victory over the Magic for its third straight win.

The Wizards were just 4-28 before their streak, but beat Oklahoma City, Atlanta and now Orlando – all at home – to nearly double their wins total.

Celtics 100, Bobcats 89: At Boston, Rajon Rondo scored 17 points with 12 assists and 10 rebounds to lead the Celtics to victory over Charlotte.

It was Rondo’s third tripledouble of the season and the 26th of his career, including playoffs.

Mavericks 113, Timberwolves

98: At Dallas, Darren Collison led six players in double figures with 23 points and the Mavericks matched their season high with a third straight win in a victory against Minnesota.

J.J. Barea, who was injured in two previous trips to Dallas, led the Timberwolves with 21 points.

Thunder 102, Suns 90: At Phoenix, Kevin Durant scored 27 of his 41 points in the second half and Oklahoma City became the NBA’s first 30game winner of the season with a victory over the Suns.

Russell Westbrook added 36 for the Thunder, but it was Durant who took over in his fourth 40-point game of the season, scoring 19 in the fourth quarter and falling one shy of the season-high 42 he scored two games earlier against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jazz 104, Heat 97: At Salt Lake City, Al Jefferson scored 23 points, Gordon Hayward added 22 – including a jumper with 40 seconds remaining – and the Jazz held on to beat Miami.

The Heat were down 21 points in the third quarter but fought back to pull within two behind a 32-point effort

by LeBron James. However, James was called for goaltending and an offensive foul on back-to-back possessions late, then missed a 3-pointer with Miami down six with 2:19 left.

Chris Bosh added 16 points for Miami and Rashard Lewis had 13 off the bench.

“We were ready for this one. We had the right mindset, played with the edge and we rebounded the ball really well. Everyone came in and stepped up.”

Reserve forward Mike Scott scored 10 points to lead

Atlanta as none of the starters reached double figures. Josh Smith and Kyle Korver had nine points each.

Jeff Teague had a layup with 7.9 seconds left to prevent the Hawks’ lowest scoring total in franchise history.

Atlanta has lost five straight on the road and six of seven overall.

“This was very, very embarrassing,” Hawks coach Larry Drew said. “From where we were as a team to where we’re at right now, we have lost all sense of team on both ends of the floor. And why that’s happened I really can’t put my finger on it.”

The Bulls held the Hawks to five points in the second quarter and led 48-20 at the break. Ivan Johnson had a basket for the Hawks with 2:54 left in the first quarter, and

Atlanta did not score again until Al Horford’s tip with 5:15 left in the second. The Hawks missed 17 consecutive shots during the drought while getting outscored 14-0.

They finished the 2 for 21 from the field in the second quarter, with Smith making a free throw and a jumper for Atlanta’s other points. The Hawks shot 20.5 percent on 8-of-39 shooting in the first half. Josh Smith was 3 for 10 and Horford 2 for 8 in the opening two periods.

“The disturbing thing is the effort part. I shouldn’t have to come out and coach effort every single night. Effort is what your being paid, to bring effort every single night.

Maybe it’s the chemistry right now,” Drew said. “I’m going to have to do something to kind of jump-start us again.

DETROIT RED wInGS

Zetterberg ready to fill big skates

By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press PLYMOUTH, Mich. – Henrik Zetterberg has learned how to lead from Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom, two of best captains in hockey history.

Now it’s his turn.

The Detroit Red Wings are expected to officially name Zetterberg their captain soon, a role the Swedish forward has already assumed during practices this week.

He has deflected questions about the honor everyone in the Motor City knows he’s about to get.

Zetterberg will open up only a little bit about how much he learned from his former captains – Yzerman and Lidstrom – but makes it clear that a “rahrah” approach isn’t suddenly going to become his style when there’s a ‘C’ on his red sweater.

“I will pick my spots to speak up,” Zetterberg said Tuesday after practicing at Compuware Arena. “The good thing with this team is we’ve always had a lot

of leaders and we still do. It isn’t just the captain that leads around here.

“I don’t think I’ll need to do a lot more than I did before, so it’ll be an easy transition.”

The 32-year-old Zetterberg has been an alternate captain for the team and could’ve been one again this season if Lidstrom took Red Wings general manager Ken Holland up on an offer. Holland asked Lidstrom if he wanted to postpone

his retirement because the 42-year-old Swede would have to play just 48 games during the lockout-shortened regular season.

Lidstrom’s reply? Thanks, but no thanks.

“I told him I’m happily retired and enjoying my time with the family,” Lidstrom wrote in an email to The Associated Press this week.

Lidstrom started wearing the captain’s letter in 2006 after Yzerman retired, ending a two-decade run that made him the longest-serving captain in NHL history.

Both former captains led by actions first and spoke second. Zetterberg will as well, but his teammates expect to hear more from their new captain.

“He’s definitely going to be more vocal than Nick,” goaltender Jimmy Howard said. “Nick was quiet, only spoke when he needed to and led by example.

Z is a little bit more vocal throughout the room.

“I think he’s going to transition very easily.”

Murray makes quick work of the Netherlands’ Haase

By JOHn PYE

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia – Playing his first Grand Slam match as a major winner, Andy Murray looked quite comfortable in his return to the Australian Open.

Murray beat Robin Haase of the Netherlands, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3, in the opening round Monday (Tuesday in Australia) at Melbourne Park.

Asked what it felt like to play after his triumph at the U.S. Open, where he became the first British man since 1936 to win a major title, the thirdranked Murray said: “I can try and focus on the second part of my career now.”

The 25-year-old Murray seemed more at ease and relaxed than he has been in previous trips to the season’s first major.

“It was a good start, nice to win in straight sets,” he said.

“It was the hottest day we’ve had for a while so the court was playing much quicker.”

After a record heat wave early last week, the last few days in Melbourne have been cool. The temperature was heading toward 84 degrees when Murray was at Rod Laver Arena.

It’s been 12 months since Murray started working with eight-time major winner Ivan Lendl, and he attributes much of the success in his break-

through 2012 to his partnership with his new coach.

In early women’s matches, 42-year-old Kimiko DateKrumm upset No. 12-seeded Nadia Petrova of Russia, 6-2, 6-0, and former No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki won the last six games to beat Sabine Lisicki of Germany, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Former U.S. Open and French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova continued her comeback from a knee injury that kept her out of the U.S. Open, ending her run of 40 consecutive majors. Also, No. 14 Maria Kirilenko had a 6-4, AP photo 6-2 win over American Vania King, and China’s Peng Shuai Andy Murray makes a backhand return to Robin Haase during their beat Canada’s Rebecca Mari- first-round match at the Australian Open in Melbourne.

HARTFORD, Conn. – Russ Smith scored 23 points, Gorgui Dieng had six points and 16 rebounds and Louisville, playing just hours after it moved to No. 1, used a strong second half to beat Connecticut, 73-58, on Monday night.

The Cardinals (16-1 overall, 4-0 Big East) won their 11th straight game and like the others they relied on their star backcourt and pressure defense.

The only other time Louisville was ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press’ Top 25 was the final poll of 2008-09. The Cardinals won the national championship in 1980 and 1986, but the AP does not conduct a post-NCAA tournament poll.

The Cardinals are the third team to hold the No. 1 spot this season along with Indiana and Duke and they celebrated the move with the convincing road win.

Omar Calhoun led the Huskies (12-4, 2-2) with 20 points.

Southern Cal fires O’Neill after 7-10 start

LOS ANGELES – Kevin O’Neill took over a troubled Southern California basketball team, getting the Trojans back to the NCAA tournament after NCAA issues kept them out in his first season while producing winning records twice in 3½ years. It wasn’t enough.

He was fired Monday, with the Trojans 7-10 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12 after splitting their road trip last weekend.

He had a 48-65 record at the school known primarily for its powerful football program after going 6-26 last year while setting a USC record for losses.

Chiefs LB drunk at time of murder-suicide

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when he shot his girlfriend nine times and then killed himself in front of his coach and general manager, an autopsy released Monday showed.

The Jackson County Medical Examiner report on Belcher, 25, raised new questions about whether police should have done more before the Dec. 1 murder-suicide. Officers found Belcher sleeping in his idling car about five hours earlier, but let him go inside a nearby apartment to sleep it off.

Ex-major leaguer Enzo Hernandez dies

CARACAS, Venezuela – Former major leaguer Enzo Hernandez has died in an apparent suicide.

The 63-year-old played for the San Diego Padres between 1971-77 and finished his big league career with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1978.

He was found dead in his home Sundat in El Tigre in eastern Venezuela. The Venezuelan sports newspaper Lider along with other news media in the country reported Hernandez had committed suicide. Police in the town confirmed Hernandez’s death but declined to provide details about the cause.

Wagner, a 6-foot-2 forward, had a career night Friday when he hit nine 3-pointers and led Huntley with 32 points in its 76-51 victory over Prairie Ridge.

His nine 3s were a school record.

Wagner made 9 of 12 shots from behind the arc as the Red Raiders moved to 4-0 in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division games.

Huntley is trying to win its third consecutive division title.

“Our team has so many different scoring options, so any night anyone can go off, and it was just my night,” Wagner said. “My teammates were feeding me well, and I was just feeling it.”

Wagner scored 10 points in Tuesday’s 55-42 victory against Crystal Lake South. He hit two 3s in that game.

Second-chance points hurt Marian • MaRIaN Continued from page C1

The Hurricanes (11-7, 2-3) gave up 20 points to a hotshooting Spartans team.

Kate Slattery of the Spartans scored eight points in the first quarter, and Marian didn’t seem to have an answer for the senior as she finished with a game-high 25.

Many of those points came from second-chance opportunities, something Budmayr said was a big part of her team’s downfall.

“Once again we’re working toward regionals, but I am very disappointed in the first quarter,” Budmayr said.

“We gave up 20 points and we just can’t do that, and we got heavily outrebounded. I told them coming in that the key to win this game would be our boards.”

Although the Hurricanes admittedly didn’t play a complete game, they did play a solid stretch of basketball at the end of the third quarter. Down by 10 with less than two minutes to play in the quarter, the Hurricanes scored on three straight possessions to cut the deficit to four and seemingly swing the momentum.

Wuensch scored on a midrange jump shot and after creating a turnover on the other end, Brie Baumert cut through the lane and scored on a layup. Wuensch scored

Fitzgerald ‘knew everybody’s name’ • PREP ZONE Continued from page C1 “He always joked that they named it after him and how he was glad they left ‘Memorial’ off the title,” said Doc Wolf, Fitzgerald’s friend and fellow official. “He was just a super guy.”

The news spread quickly, and hit hard, through officiating circles Monday.

“There aren’t many like him when you think of all the years he’s officiated,” said former Johnsburg AD Jim Meyers, who now referees football and basketball. “I go back to thinking when I was a batboy for the Johnsburg Tigers [semiprofessional baseball team] in the 1950s.

Then, I saw him doing high schools in the 1960s, then when I was coaching in the 1970s. The number of lives he touched were endless. What a guy. It’s a total shock. It’s numbing.”

It almost goes without saying that Fitzgerald was old-school. He would arrive at baseball games and grab the 4-inch thick chest protector (worn outside his shirt) when he was calling the plate. Vito remembers how Fitzgerald’s ball and strike calls often came before the ball reached the plate, because that’s how umpires called them when he was learning.

Fitzgerald tried his best

not to show his age, except when he told stories.

“If you walked into anywhere, somebody knew Elroy,” Vito said. “He’d always tell you a story or introduce you to a kid on a team who was third-generation in that family that he had officiated.

He knew their grandfather and their father.”

Pat Fitzgerald, Elroy’s younger brother, talked to him Sunday morning as he usually does. Pat said Elroy felt like a cold was dragging him down.

“He said his right arm hurt like he’d been throwing a baseball,” Pat said. “He said he hadn’t been feeling good since about Thursday and had a cold. He didn’t think that much of it. He was hoping to be back on the court [officiating] by Wednesday or Thursday.”

Fitzgerald also worked a couple of days a week at Autotrol Corporation in Crystal Lake, where he had worked for many years as a tool-and-die maker. When he wasn’t officiating games, he was watching them. Often, the games involved one of his 16 grandchildren.

East Dundee resident Larry Freeman has officiated more than 40 years and frequently worked with Fitzgerald.

“I had breakfast with him and some other men on

Christmas Eve,” Freeman said. “He was always enthusiastic. He was constantly involved in everything. I think his grandkids were his first love.”

Like most who knew him, Freeman remembers Fitzgerald’s gregarious nature.

“We’d be at halftime of a football game, ready to go back on the field and there was Elroy talking to people in the crowd,” Freeman said.

“He knew everybody’s name.

There was always something like that happening.”

Fitzgerald occasionally would officiate an AldenHebron football game on a Saturday. He would carry on a conversation between plays, telling stories about something that happened earlier in the week, even after the ball had been snapped.

He was one of a kind.

And if there is some small consolation here, Fitzgerald went on his terms. He never retired. He was doing what he loved until the very end.

There is something almost comforting about that.

Still, the conversations will be missed.

Patriots move on without ‘Gronk’

Quarterback Camelot

Golden era for QBs, with great stories around league

By RACHEL COHEN

many remarkable and compelling stories on the quarterback side as you’re seeing this year,” CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said.

There was that brief stretch less than 15 years ago when Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won Super Bowls, and it seemed perhaps championship teams didn’t need a star at the position. Since then, here’s the roll call of victorious quarterbacks: Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, both Manning brothers, Brees and Aaron Rodgers.

Twenty-five of the 46 Super Bowl MVPs have been quarterbacks, but

back was Minnesota. And the Vikings had a guy named Adrian Peterson.

The bottom of the standings is full of clubs with uncertainty at the position: NEW YORK – The two kids from from the Chiefs and Jaguars to the Northern California burst from NFL Eagles, Cardinals and Jets. afterthought to championship contendThis year, 20 quarterbacks started er in eerily similar fashion a decade every regular-season game, nearly twoapart. thirds of the league.

Trestman worked with Steve Young, Gannon • MUSiCK Continued from page C1

Trestman worked closely with Steve Young and Rich Gannon, among others, before he crossed the border.

He trained Jay Cutler and Jason Campbell as collegiate prospects and worked one-on-one with others such as Tim Tebow and Brandon Weeden.

Chances are good that Trestman has an idea or two about how to help Cutler improve. Maybe we should ask Johnson, who wrote on Twitter last week that he thought Trestman would get the Bears’ job before back-tracking and erasing the message.

Meanwhile, Bevell made a name for himself as Brett Favre’s position coach in Green Bay. Bevell helped Favre resurrect his career in Minnesota, and he has proved that he could help a young quarterback develop this season with the unexpected success of Russell Wilson.

As for Arians, he worked with a young quarterback named Peyton Manning, who apparently turned out to be an OK player. He also helped Ben Roethlisberger become one of the NFL’s mainstays at quarterback, and this season he guided rookie No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck.

By all accounts, all three finalists also are team-first employees who will work side

by side with Emery to try to turn the Bears into a perennial playoff contender.

Consider the traits that Emery emphasized Jan. 1 during his lengthy news conference.

“I want somebody that has high energy,” Emery said.

“Somebody that pulls people together in the building. Whatever his personality subset is, or however he approaches it, I want somebody that has some warmth, that pulls everybody together, and that [has] synergy not only with our players but with everybody in the building to work toward our common goal.”

After the Bears fired Jerry Angelo a year ago, nobody expected Emery to get the job.

For decades, he had worked in the shadows as a scout and then as a college scouting director.

Likewise, who would have expected Trestman to find a spot on the list of finalists a couple of weeks ago? At the beginning of the season, who would have predicted that the offensive coordinators for Indianapolis and Seattle would be the ones courted above all others?

It’s a tough league to predict.

It’s a big decision for the Bears.

It’s coming soon.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots have done just fine without Rob Gronkowski.

So far.

On Sunday, they’ll see whether that continues or if their valuable tight end’s absence will keep them from a second straight Super Bowl appearance.

“Certainly, Rob is a unique player and he has some skills that allow you to do special things with him,” offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Monday. “I don’t think it’s really fair to say you just plug somebody in and off you go.”

Michael Hoomanawanui filled in well enough after Gronkowski broke his left arm on the Patriots’ seventh offensive play of their 41-28 win over the Houston Texans in Sunday’s AFC divisional playoff game.

He’ll probably do it again in the conference championship game against the Ray Lewis-led defense of the Baltimore Ravens after Gronkowski’s season-ending surgery Monday.

“Michael did a great job with the things we asked him to do,” McDaniels said. “He certainly did a good job in protection and in the running game.”

Hoomanawanui didn’t catch any passes. But Gronkowski, who had 90 receptions last season and 55 in 11 games this season, had no catches in the Patriots’ two games against Houston this season. And they dominated both contests.

Gronkowski was sidelined for the 42-14 rout Dec. 10, the third of five games he missed after breaking his left forearm while blocking on an extra point late in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov.

The Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski reaches for a pass in front of the Texans’ Barrett Ruud on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. The pass fell incomplete, and Gronkowski broke his left arm on the play.

18. He sat out the rest of Sunday’s game after breaking his arm when he landed on it after catching a pass down the right sideline by Tom Brady that was ruled incomplete because Gronkowski didn’t get both feet inbounds.

He had surgery Monday, a person with knowledge of the operation said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the surgery.

The Patriots were 7-3 before Gronkowski was injured then went 4-1 without him. He returned for the regular-season finale, a 28-0 win over the Miami Dolphins in which he caught a touchdown pass. But he played only 25 of the Patriots’ 80 offensive snaps in that game.

The Patriots also played without running back Danny Woodhead after he hurt his thumb while running with the ball on their first offensive play. Shane Vereen stepped in and scored three touchdowns – two on receptions and one on a run.

John Elway (rear), the Denver Broncos’ executive vice president of football operations, jokes with reporters along with coach John Fox during a news conference Monday in Englewood, Colo.

DENvER BRONCOS

Fox stands by decision; Elway stands by coach

By EDDiE PELLS

The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – John Fox would tell Peyton Manning to take the knee again.

John Elway, of all people, agreed with that call.

Given the ball at his 20 with 31 seconds, two timeouts and one of the best quarterbacks in the game, the Broncos coach decided to run out the clock and head to overtime.

Result: Baltimore 38, Denver 35. End of season in Broncoland.

Fox said he felt good about the decision when he made it Saturday, toward the end of one of the most disheartening losses in the franchise’s history. After hashing it over during the last two sleepless nights, he stood by his decision.

“I’d do it again 10 times if it presented itself in that situation,” he said Monday at Denver’s season-ending news conference, where he was joined

by Elway, the quarterbackturned-front office executive.

Even 48 hours after the game, that single decision remained the most hotly debated of the many Fox, Manning and the Broncos made in their gaffe-filled loss to the Ravens.

The second-guessing only got more intense Sunday after Atlanta moved the ball 41 yards

in 12 seconds to set up the game-winning field goal in its 30-28 victory over Seattle.

But, Fox said, Denver’s situation was nowhere near what the Falcons faced. The Falcons were losing and had no other choice. They were playing in a dome. The Broncos had just given up a game-tying 70-yard touchdown pass and were standing on the sideline in disbelief. The temperature was below 10 degrees. Manning had thrown the ball downfield a grand total of twice the entire game.

“You watch a [70]-yard bomb go over your head, there’s a certain amount of shock value,” Fox said. “A little bit like a prize fighter who gets a right cross on the chin at the end of a round, you’re looking to get out of the round.”

Elway, of course, built his career around extracting the Broncos from impossible situations. But asked specifically how he would’ve responded in his playing days if told to take a knee under those circumstances, he sounded not at all like the go-for-broke quarterback he once was.

“I thought it was the right thing at that time,” Elway said.

“I think with where the team was mentally and the situation we were in, I thought that it was a good move.”

Armstrong admits doping in Oprah interview Taped program to be shown Thursday on OWN By liZ ClArKE

The Washington Post.

After more than a decade of denials, cyclist Lance Armstrong reversed course Monday and told Oprah Winfrey he had used performance-enhancing drugs in winning the Tour de France, according to the Associated Press.

Billed as a “no-holds barred” conversation, the interview was taped in an Austin, Texas, hotel Monday afternoon, confounding news crews that had gathered outside Armstrong’s home in anticipation of Winfrey’s arrival.

The 21⁄2-hour interview will be edited to 90 minutes and aired on the OWN Network at 8 p.m. Thursday. But the marketing push to drive viewership to the cable network started almost immediately, with Winfrey tweeting “Just wrapped up with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1⁄ 2 hours. He came READY!” Soon afterward, CBS issued a news release that Winfrey would appear on “CBS This Morning” Tuesday to discuss the interview. The interview will be Armstrong’s first public statements since he was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles in the wake of a damning report by U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that detailed career-long use of banned performance-enhancing substances and blood-doping practices.

The interview took place at Austin’s Four Seasons Hotel, and only a handful of people were present: Armstrong, Winfrey and camera technicians. Video of the

In tweet after interviewing Lance Armstrong proceedings was sent to other rooms, where advisers and staff of Armstrong and Winfrey each monitored.

While a partial confession, at the least, had been expected, it remains to be seen whether Armstrong’s manner and delivery in fielding Winfrey’s questions and providing his version of events will evoke skepticism or empathy.

It’s also unclear whether there is anyone left among the viewing public to be persuaded, one way or the other, about Armstrong’s misdeeds and contrition.

One professional cyclist, British road-racing champion Nicole Cooke, made her position unequivocally clear during an interview with the BBC on Monday in which she discussed her decision to retire from the sport.

Cooke, 29, said that she had felt pressure to take performanceenhancing drugs during her career but had steadfastly refused.

She lamented her bad fortune to have competed in an era when “cheats and liars” had corrupted her sport.

Citing Armstrong by name, Cooke said: “When Lance cries

on Oprah later this week, and she passes him the tissue, spare a thought for all those genuine people who walked away with no rewards – just shattered dreams.

Each one of them is worth a thousand Lances.”

Armstrong’s decision to break his silence has generated tremendous buzz.

In Britain, the bookmaker Ladbrokes has been soliciting wagers on specific words and phrases Armstrong might use in the Winfrey interview. The so-called “Buzzword Bingo Game” lists various options, with odds for each, on a grid. Among them: “Sorry,” 1:4; “Witch hunt,” 2:1; “Confess,” even odds; and “Never tested positive,” even odds.

Journalists stateside and abroad weighed in on what questions Winfrey should ask and whether Armstrong should be forgiven if his televised confession were complete and convincing.

In addition to being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, Armstrong, 41, has been banned from competition for life by cycling’s international governing body.

He also faces a whistleblower lawsuit that could potentially cost him tens of millions of dollars, which claims that he defrauded the federal government by doping under the banner of the U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team. Filed by former teammate Floyd Landis, that suit would gain considerable momentum if the U.S. Justice Department sees sufficient merit to join the action.

An estimated 275 million people across the globe suffer from hearing loss, which the World Health Organization lists as the No. 1 sensory disability in the world.

“The good news is noise-induced hearing loss is preventable,” said Dr. Laurie Wells, audiologist in 3M’s hearing protection business.

Step 1: Wear hearing protection – Wells says, “Hearing protection is now available that is comfortable, fits well, and includes options to enhance communication – like microphones and two-way radio connections for people who need them.”

Step 2: Be mindful around the clock – Sounds louder than 85 decibels (dBA) are more common than people might think.

Prolonged exposure to these high-level sounds, such as watching a movie at a theater, using a lawn mower or listening to a personal music player, can permanently damage your hearing, and cause ringing in the ears.

Step 3: Reduce the volume or increase distance – Work-related noise might be unavoidable, but many times, you can be in control of the noise around you. Whenever possible, select quieter vacuums, chain saws, leaf blowers, power tools, etc. Lower the volume on portable entertainment devices and limit how long you listen to them.

Isolation is most effective way to avoid spreading the flu

T

he Centers for Disease Control informs us that this year, the flu season made its appearance a month earlier than usual.

At one time, it was a badge of courage to go to social events or work while you were sick. I have been the biggest offender of this behavior. I thought I would be letting my patients down if I wasn’t available to see them for their scheduled appointments. In retrospect, by spreading whatever infectious disease I was afflicted with to my patients, I probably caused more illnesses

Views Dr. Murray Feingold than I cured.

Today, we are more sensitive to the spread of disease.

We cringe if someone with a hacking cough sits near us on an airplane.

However, the “cougher” is not always a threat to our health. Frequently, the cause of a cough is not because of infectious diseases but allergies, chronic bronchi-

tis or pulmonary disease.

But, since you can’t ask the “cougher” about his or her medical history, you turn your head away, worry and wish you brought along a facemask.

Then there is the “sneezer.” With every sneeze you are subjected to, you imagine millions of viruses or bacteria going into the air and heading straight to you to inhale.

In some infectious diseases, a person is infectious even before symptoms are present. In these situations, you have no clue some

mysterious micro-organism had decided to invade your unsuspecting body to test your immune system.

How can you help prevent getting the flu?

Infectious disease experts say one of the best ways is frequent handwashing. Can’t argue with that advice, but studies have shown how infrequently people actually wash their hands.

Getting a flu shot is helpful, and it’s not too late.

Should you wear a facemask? Results concerning the effectiveness of facemasks are controversial.

Avoiding crowds is beneficial especially in confined places. Some of my hypochondriac friends believe the best way to prevent getting the flu is to never leave your home. Although probably the most effective suggestion, it’s also the least practical.

Energy Balls

Writer finds connections among 300 families around the world

By LEANNE ITALIE

and they can’t yet accept this because it’s new to them, and you have to help them get to the point of acceptance, and once you do the depth of their love will be more obvious.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Gay, dyslexic and the survivor of near-death depression, writer Andrew Solomon has been acutely aware of his differences for most of his 49 years.

Palpable discomfort from his wealthy, Upper East Side parents over his sexuality, relentless bullying on the bus of his fancy private school – he never realized exactly how his differences connected him to a constellation of others who fall outside the mainstream.

That is, until he delved into deaf culture for a magazine story 15 years ago, leading him to dwell during a decade’s worth of research in the space between disability and identity for a new book, “Far from the Tree.”

Following up his National Book Award-winning work of nonfiction on depression, “The Noonday Demon,” Solomon amassed hours and hours of interviews with more than 300 families dealing with profound differences in their children, from deafness and dwarfism to prodigies and criminality.

His interviews include villagers in Bali where deafness is prevalent because of a recessive gene, women in Rwanda who raise children of rape amid genocide, and the first substantive interview with Tom and Sue Klebold, the parents of Dylan, one of the teen killers at Columbine.

All the while, Solomon relies on his own story, beginning the book as a damaged son and finishing it with a chapter on fatherhood, having decided to become one while making the book.

This is a 10-year undertaking for you. Why did you take this on?

I had felt very lonely, in some ways, in dealing with being gay, and then all of a sudden I discovered I had something in common with all of these other people. And I felt all of them seemed to be lonely in their particular identities, and I thought, I wonder whether I can possibly describe what it was like to have to go through my experience and what our experiences have in common. And that, I think, was really my objective. It was to show that the differences that feel so isolating actually connect us to one another, and

This book was a journey to parenthood for you. How did this project lead you to embrace the role?

Photos provided

Andrew Solomon, author of “Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity” (right). to try help people to feel less alone in their life experience.

Journalistically speaking, was this fresh ground?

It was. Each of the individual areas I was investigating had been written about extensively. There are hundreds of thousands of books on autism and a great many on Down syndrome and quite a lot on crime, but there was nobody who had actually looked at this particular commonality, of how do families who perceive themselves to be essentially normal respond to having a child whom they initially, at least, perceive to be aberrant, and how do they wrap their minds around the difficulty of dealing with that child, and in what way does the experience of parents who are dealing with that, with children who fit into all of the categories that I’ve listed in the book, how does that relate to the experience of all parenthood?

What surprised you about what you found?

I think I went into this project thinking, OK, I’m going to look at these terribly difficult situations and see how people have struggled with them and look at the nobility of their suffering, so I wanted to write about, you know, the grandeur of this experience. But what I didn’t really anticipate was how much genuine joy I would encounter, how many of these people talked about a deep and meaningful connection to their children and how many of them said that having had children who had any of these qualities had actually

made them better, stronger, wiser, kinder people than they otherwise would have been.

In the end I felt many of these parents ended up grateful for experiences they would have done anything to avoid.

How does that compare and contrast to your own parents and their reaction to you?

My parents took a little while to come through to acceptance. What I discovered in researching the book is love and acceptance are two different things, that you can love your child even before you’ve managed to accept your child.

I found I had mistaken, as people do over and over again, some deficit or hesitancy in acceptance for a deficit of love.

It took them a little while to accept having a child who is different. It takes everyone a little while, and my family actually did it reasonably quickly and reasonably well.

The feeling I used to have, that they loved me and they still weren’t nicer about this, is actually the way it works.

That’s the structure of it, and I wished there had been someone at the time to say to me – I mean I knew it at some level – of course they love you

A lot of people have said to me, surely writing a book about all of the things that can go horribly wrong in parenting would have been enough to put anyone off the idea of becoming a parent. And I said actually, what I think the book is really about is the fact that people do manage to love the children they have, whoever those children are, and it made me think, gee, if I have a child who presents some challenges, or I can say now when my children grow up some challenges, whatever they are, I think I’ll be better equipped to respond to those challenges in a positive and constructive way and I’ll be more certain those challenges aren’t going to undermine feelings of love.

So it made me feel more confident in the extraordinary and embracing quality of parental love.

You interviewed the Klebolds. This was a rare interview for them. How do you think the experience of telling their story has changed them?

It was clear soon after we met a) that they were good and decent people, which is what I had already gathered, and I think they were full of this story, which for so long they had been unable to tell, and this was the chance for some voice to be given to it. I really do like them. I think of them as friends. In the period immediately after the massacre, there was this endless press which said those parents should have known and those parents should have been able to control the situation. It was all those parents, those parents, those parents. I hope that they will have the feeling now that we’re on the far side of the process that in telling their story to me, there’s a public declaration they actually are good people and it wasn’t their fault, and I think it makes it easier to live in the world if you don’t think that all the people who don’t know you think you’re awful.

When kids need to put on weight

By CASEY SEIDENBERg The Washington Post

Despite an obesity epidemic in this country, many toddlers and children are underweight. Parents repeatedly ask me how to help a child gain weight in a healthful way. This is an important question because the age-old advice of milkshakes and ice cream (or in my opinion even the sugar-laden Pediasure) just doesn’t cut it, and can spark a cycle of insulin resistance that can lead an underweight child down a path toward obesity and diabetes.

Parents might want to focus less on the scale and instead direct their energy toward providing their children with enough macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Empty calories, such as those in ice cream, might add a few pounds here and there, but they will not provide the nutrients a child needs to build a healthy brain, resilient organs and strong bones. So if you have an underweight child, begin by ensuring all calories ingested are nutrient-rich.

Eat up

The following foods can help a child healthfully gain weight and thrive: n Beneficial fats, especially plant-based fats. Each gram of fat has about nine calories while each gram of protein or carbohydrate provides about four calories, so a meal made with fats can contribute to wanted weight gain. Here are some recommended sources of healthful fat: n Flaxseed oil. Add to it everything! Flaxseed oil has a mild flavor, so it will go unnoticed if mixed into a smoothie, drizzled onto popcorn or tossed with vegetables. n Coconut oil. Coconut oil adds sweetness and beneficial calories, so add a tablespoon into a smoothie or to vegetables when roasting. n Nuts and seeds. Pistachios, walnuts and almonds are great choices for kids. n Avocados. Make guacamole with fresh avocados, onions and tomatoes, or mix avocado into a fruit smoothie.

n Olives are about 80-85 percent healthful fat, and because of their high amounts of antioxidants and phytonutrients (a beneficial plant compound), they have been shown to help prevent disease. n Full-fat dairy has more calories and fat than the reducedfat varieties, yet a comparable amount of nutrients. We buy only full-fat dairy at our house, because everyone needs beneficial fats. n Smoothies. Smoothies are an easy way to ingest needed nutrients and calories, especially if you add coconut oil, coconut milk or almond butter. Get creative with your favorite fruit, full-fat yogurt, nut butters and seeds. n Grate cooked eggs into salads, sauces and soups. n Cook pasta, rice and whole grains in chicken broth, adding extra nutrition and a few extra calories.

Angry husband leaves home Natural sleep aids unregulated, don’t appear to do much good to find a friendly welcome

Dear Abby: Recently my husband, “Byron,” and I had an argument, and he took off in his truck. He didn’t return until after work the next day.

He said he spent the night at our friend “Arlene’s” house.

She is divorced and lives alone.

Byron assures me “nothing happened” between them. I want to believe him, but ever since this incident, Arlene will not look me in the eye or speak to me.

I love Byron and trusted him until now. It hurts to think that our marriage may be ruined over a stupid argument. I know he was intoxicated, but why did he choose to go to HER home? – BrokenHearted In Wyoming

Dear Broken-Hearted: He chose to go to her home (even drunk as a skunk) because he knew he would be welcomed.

It’s also the reason Arlene can’t look you in the eye.

Marriage counseling for you and Byron may help you put this to rest. If he refuses to go with you, go without him.

P.S. It appears Arlene has an agenda of her own – and Byron may be one of the items on it. You’d be wise to delete her from your list of friends.

Dear Abby: I have always been touched by the acts of kindness stories in your column. When I was 20, I went

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips into New York City to attend classes. Upon my arrival, I was mugged in the bus station. It was rush hour, and I was too scared to scream.

After the mugger ran off, I picked up the few belongings that had fallen out of my handbag, walked across the street and down the stairs to the subway. It was then I realized I had no money to buy a token. I started crying and couldn’t stop.

A middle-aged woman with a friendly smile arrived and stayed at my side until the authorities arrived.

She calmed me down and wouldn’t leave until she knew I was in safe hands. Before she left, she slipped some money into my pocket.

After Sept. 11, I heard people say how “surprised” they were that New Yorkers “came together.” Not me, Abby. I have known since the day I was mugged there are only a few bad apples in the Big Apple. I hope my good Samaritan will see your column and realize what her compassion and generosity meant to me that day and ever since. –

Still Commuting In NYC Dear Still Commuting:

Thanks for an upper of a letter, which proves kindheartedness is universal – and not limited to any one area of the map.

Dear Abby: Please help me and thousands of other payroll administrators with a public service message. I will be sending out W-2s this month to current and former employees.

Last year, I got back about 10 percent of these W-2s because employees have moved and left no forwarding addresses. Often the phone also has been disconnected.

Please remind anyone who has changed jobs and moved in the past year to make sure their former employer has their new address so their W-2 will arrive on the first try. I have a stack of these forms that have never been claimed by former employees and no idea how to contact them. – Payroll Administra-

Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 60s who struggles with insomnia. A friend recommended melatonin. What do you think of this and other natural sleep aids?

Dear Reader: Many of my patients have trouble with insomnia. Now and then, so do I. There are different types of sleep problems, each treated differently. People can have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up tired.

Like you, some of my patients are interested in natural sleep remedies. The most commonly used herbal sleep aid is valerian root. Some studies suggest valerian is mildly sedating and can help people fall asleep and improve their sleep quality.

But the evidence is mixed.

An analysis of multiple studies of valerian’s effect on sleep published in 2010 concluded people fell asleep only about a minute sooner than with a sugar pill. There also is some risk of liver damage from valerian, and some women report headaches after using the herb.

I’m not aware of good studies of the long-term use of valerian. Finally, the manufacture of herbal treatments, unlike conventional drugs, is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Impurities have been found in some

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff

herbal preparations that are available over-the-counter.

For all these reasons, I don’t recommend valerian.

Another popular natural sleep aid is the one you mentioned, melatonin, which is a hormone made in the brain. It influences body temperature, sleep and daily body rhythms (circadian rhythms). The question is whether melatonin taken as a pill can help with sleep.

For most types of sleep problems, I don’t think melatonin has been shown in scientific studies to help sleep.

Over-the-counter melatonin is sold as a food supplement in the United States, and like valerian, its manufacture is not regulated.

One condition where melatonin may help sleep is in older adults. People older than 60 with insomnia often have lower levels of nighttime melatonin (as measured in the urine) than those without insomnia.

Some studies have found such people may sleep better if they take melatonin supplements. I would check with a sleep specialist if you’re interested in pursuing this treatment.

If melatonin and valerian root don’t help, you can try alternative approaches.

However, their track record is less established.

Acupressure appears promising. In acupressure, pressure is placed on acupuncture points without needles.

Tai chi and yoga may help you fall asleep faster and improve your quality of sleep. Both have the added benefits of promoting mental relaxation as well as muscle relaxation. Meditation may help as a calming and relaxing technique, as well.

You also can try drinking a cup of chamomile tea before bed. This age-old home remedy appears to help people relax and become drowsy.

Chamomile is both mild and safe. (But avoid it if you’re allergic to plants in the daisy family.)

An excellent, short and inexpensive e-book about treatments for women battling insomnia is “Successful Sleep Strategies for Women”

by Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Julia Schlam Edelman.

You can learn more about this book on my website.

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

TODAY - It looks like you could make two valuable friends in the year ahead who will prove to be helpful, each in their independent areas of expertise. There’s a chance the first pal will be instrumental in leading you to the second one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You seem to be better equipped to handle mental assignments than to do anything physical. Take care of the brainwork, and let others do the heavy lifting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although you’ll have good earning abilities, conversely you could also have strong urges to spend. Don’t allow the latter to run the show and put you in debt.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could be far more fortunate than usual working on endeavors or enterprises that you personally initiate and/or manage.

If there is something you’re anxious to get rolling, don’t wait on others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Developments taking place behind the scenes of which you’ll be unaware are likely to have a constructive effect upon your material well-being. Soon all will become clear to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll get a desired opportunity to strengthen a troubling relationship that has meant a lot to you. Make the most of it; good friends can be hard to come by.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Once your ambitions are aroused, there’s no stopping you, as events are likely to prove. In fact, you’re capable of accomplishing what even you thought to be impossible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you’re a keen observer and a good student, you’re likely to learn something through a personal experience that you’ll be able to put to excellent use down the line.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be alert for an unusual opportunity to participate in something exciting that’s originated by another. Getting involved will not only be stimulating, but will prove to be very rewarding as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In an endeavor that mutually affects you and your special someone, don’t make a move without discussing it with your partner, who might have some good ideas on how to handle it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Regardless of what is asked of you, perform to the best of your abilities.

Getting things right and doing them well will provide you with enormous gratification.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even if you have difficulties in managing certain jobs assigned to you, do the very best work that you can. You’ll be better able to cope with things knowing that you tried your best.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It doesn’t matter how busy you are or how many projects you start, what really counts is how much you complete. If you’re smart, you’ll be mindful of your limitations.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

William James, an eminent 18th- and 19th-century psychologist, said, “To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal.”

Today’s deal seems to contain a normal play, but is it time for an abnormal one? South is in three no-trump. West leads the diamond king. What should declarer do?

South had seven top tricks: one spade, one heart, one diamond and four clubs. He saw that at least two more tricks would come from spades.

And since he knew a Bath Coup when he saw one, he played his low diamond at trick one.

However, East had correctly played his diamond three. And West knew that his partner would have thrown out the jack or ace if he had held it, or played a high spot card. So West cleverly shifted to the heart jack. This time, East encouraged enthusiastically with his nine. Declarer ducked, but West continued with the heart 10, and East accurately overtook with his queen.

Now South could not succeed. If he had taken this trick, crossed to the

dummy with a club, and tried the spade finesse, West would have won with his king and led his last heart to give the defenders one spade, four hearts and one diamond. And if South had ducked the second heart, East would have reverted to diamonds, giving the defense one spade, two hearts and four diamonds (unless declarer cashed his seven top tricks).

South should have won the first trick, crossed to the dummy, and run the spade queen. Yes, the finesse would have lost, but declarer’s diamond jack-four would have been a stopper with West on lead.
