County adds exemption to employee firearm rule Gun-carry limit wouldn’t apply to elected officials

Registered nurse Lauren Purdom-Carr of Marengo grabs supplies while working with a patient Friday in the emergency room at Centegra Hospital – Woodstock. Purdom-Carr joined Centegra last December after finishing her degree.

Millions of medical field jobs expected to be added by 2022

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com Lauren Purdom-Carr started out as a patient-care technician helping patients and assisting nurses at Centegra Hospital – Woodstock.

The Marengo resident helped patients use the bathroom, checked their blood sugar levels and fed them. The

24-year-old eventually followed in her mother’s footsteps and became an emergency room nurse.

Purdom-Carr is part of the ever-growing health care field, which is expected to add millions of jobs through 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As the general population continues to age and live lon-

ger, there will be a need for more health care workers and social assistance workers, according to a report the bureau released in December.

There are times Purdom-Carr speaks to hospital technicians about possibly going into nursing.

“There’s so many options as far as being a nurse; you can do anything,” she said. “You

can teach, you can work at a school, you can work in many different departments in the hospital. ... There’s a lot to do in nursing.”

The BLS has estimated that 5 million health care and social assistance jobs would be added between 2012 and 2022.

A new version of the McHenry County Board’s proposed concealed-carry restrictions for county employees now contains an exemption the first draft did not – themselves.

The latest draft exempts county-level elected officials from the policy, which, if approved, will forbid county employees who are not in law enforcement from carrying handguns during their official duties, even if they have a valid state permit.

The draft is scheduled to go to a vote Monday before the Management Services Committee, which pushed it off last month after discussions about exempting elected officials.

Deputy County Administrator John Labaj said Thursday that committee members expressed concerns that applying the ban to elected officials who essentially are on call 24 hours a day could cause them to inadvertently run afoul of the rule for something as simple as talking to a constituent.

The county’s elected officials are the board’s 24 members; the offices of auditor, sheriff, circuit clerk, state’s attorney, coroner, county clerk,

Sharon, Israel’s bulldozer in politics, dies

By JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press JERUSALEM – It was vintage Ariel Sharon: His hefty body bobbing behind a wall of security men, the ex-general led a march onto a Jerusalem holy site, staking a bold claim to a shrine that has been in contention from the dawn of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

What followed was a Palestinian uprising that put Mideast peace efforts into deep-freeze.

Five years later, Sharon, who died Saturday at 85, was again

permanently changed the face of the conflict and marked the final legacy of a man who shaped Israel as much as any other leader.

He was a farmer-turned-soldier, a soldier-turned-politician, a politician-turned-statesman – a hard-charging Israeli who built Jewish settlements on war-won land, but didn’t shy away from destroying them when he deemed them no longer useful.

Sharon died eight years after a debilitating stroke put him into a coma. His body was to lie in state at the parliament on Sun-

barreling headlong into controversy, bulldozing ahead with his plan to pull Israel out of the Gaza Strip and uproot all 8,500 Jewish settlers living there without regard to threats to his life from Jewish extremists.

His allies said the move was a revolutionary step in peacemaking; his detractors said it was a tactical sacrifice to strengthen Israel’s hold on much of the West Bank.

Either way, the withdrawal and the barrier he was building between Israel and the West Bank

day before he is laid to rest at his ranch in southern Israel on Monday, Israeli media reported. Vice President Joe Biden will lead the U.S. delegation.

His death was greeted with the same strong feelings he evoked in life. Israelis called him a war hero. His enemies called him a war criminal.

President Barack Obama remembered Sharon as “a leader who dedicated his life to the state of Israel.”

New year brings columnists back from hibernation Good to be back, even if a bit out of sorts.

For years, this column has run on Thursdays. I know this because Thursday is also garbage day. Write your own punchline.

We’ve been reshuffling things for the past several weeks, which put some of our regular columnists, myself included, on hiatus. There were also the tasks of end-of-year projects, wrapping presents, shoveling snow, what have you.

This Sunday column space will be shared on a rotating basis with myself, Editor Jason Schaumburg, Group Editor Dan McCaleb and Senior Reporter Kevin Craver.

So you’ll get a variety of voices on alternating Sundays, just like the ones in my head.

Speaking of columnists, the rest of the week here on Page 2 will look a little different, although some days are staying the same. Joseph Morton’s On this Day column will move here from the Opinion page on Mondays, as will Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller column on Tuesdays and Scott Reeder’s column on Thursdays.

Although she left the Northwest Herald as an editor, we’re happy to still have Joan Oliver’s column on Wednesdays. Dick Peterson still will deliver his unique take on matters on Fridays, while Mike Penkava’s often hilarious columns now will run on Saturdays.

So it’s a new year, which makes 2013 so last year. Can’t say I’ll miss it that much. Sure, we had some good times, but we were both ready to move on.

Predicts $12 an hour would nourish economy

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Democrats across the nation are eager to make increasing the minimum wage a defining campaign issue in 2014, but in California a proposal to boost the pay rate to $12 an hour is coming from a different point on the political compass.

Ron Unz, a Silicon Valley multimillionaire and registered Republican who once ran for governor and, briefly, U.S. Senate, wants state voters to endorse the wage jump that he predicts would nourish the economy and lift low-paid workers from dependency on food stamps and other assistance bankrolled by taxpayers.

A push for bigger paychecks for workers at the lower rungs of the economic ladder is typically associated with Democrats – President Barack Obama is supporting a bill in Congress that would elevate the $7.25 federal minimum to over $10 an hour.

But entrepreneur Unz, 52, is a former publisher of The American Conservative magazine with a history of againstthe-grain political activism that includes pushing a 1998 ballot proposal that disman-

tled California’s bilingual education system, an idea he later championed in Colorado and other states.

Two decades ago, as a 32-year-old, the theoretical-physicist-turned-software-developer tried to unseat then-Gov. Pete Wilson, a fellow Republican. After a long break on the political sidelines, Unz’s reappearance has star-

tled members of both major parties, and his proposal – if it goes to voters in November – could unsettle races from governor to Congress.

“He is a wild card in the deck of California politics,” said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and former Wilson speechwriter.

Republican National Committee member Shawn Steel praised Unz for his 1998 initiative, which abolished most bilingual education programs for students who speak little, if any, English and replaced them with English-only instruction. But Steel predicted a jump in the minimum wage would eliminate jobs, penalizing young people who often hold them.

Unz “is an innovator, he’s extremely bright and he’s a lone wolf,” Steel said.

To Unz, who’s spoken out over the years on issues as varied as campaign finance to IQ and race, the proposal simply makes sense. As drafted, it would increase the minimum wage in two steps – to $10 an hour in 2015, and $12 the following year, which would be the highest among states at current levels.

His push comes as Seattle’s new mayor, Democrat Ed Murray, has said he wants workers there to earn a minimum of $15 an hour, and after fastfood workers staged nationwide rallies calling for higher income.

BEAT THIS ARCTIC

CHILL!

Unz says taxpayers for too long have been subsidizing low-wage paying businesses, since the government pays for food stamps and other programs those workers often need to get by. He posits that the increase – at $12-an-hour, up from the current $8 –would lift millions of Californians out of poverty, drive up income and sales tax revenue and save taxpayers billions of dollars, since those workers would no longer qualify for many welfare benefits.

He dismisses the notion that countless jobs would evaporate, noting that most of the state’s lower-wage jobs are in agriculture and the service sector, which can’t be easily automated or transported elsewhere. He believes higher wages would make the jobs more attractive to U.S. residents, curtailing a lure for illegal immigration.

For California, among the world’s 10 largest economies in 2012, the jump “would be a gigantic economic stimulus package,” Unz said in an interview. He hopes its passage in the nation’s most populous state would have a ripple effect, prompting other states to increases wages.

Unz is an unusual figure in California’s largely left-ofcenter political culture, untethered to traditional party apparatus, libertarian in his leanings and wealthy enough to make potential rivals nervous.

cum the pine needles.

This year brings new possibilities, a promise for new adventures. Forward, always forward, or risk getting your tires stuck in the snow. We welcome 2014 – like a Phoenix rising from the backward politics of Arizona.

The new year already has brought changes. Some fairly big ones here in Illinois.

The good news is that you might be able to get a prescription for medical marijuana if you accidentally shoot yourself in the foot with your concealed-carry weapon while driving home from a same-sex wedding.

The bad news is that you’ll probably get a ticket for calling 911 from your car after shooting yourself in the foot.

And if you haven’t been able to navigate through the Obamacare website glitches, no one is coming for you anyway.

So most of what I just said isn’t entirely true, but we’re entering political season, so we’ll all need to brush up on sifting through nonsense. We’ll do what we can to help, although sometimes it feels like being a snowplow driver. It never stops. You at least push it off the roads. What others do with the piles is out of anybody’s hands.

Elections certainly will be a big story this year, particularly in a year when we have several longtime McHenry County officials stepping down, includ-

ing Clerk Katherine Schultz, Sheriff Keith Nygren and Treasurer Bill LeFew. We also have an Illinois governor’s race among other statewide offices, U.S. congressional and U.S. senate races, along with county board and state legislator contests.

Besides elections, we’re expecting details on the tentative agreement for School District 155 and its teachers union. What we always know is that each new year and each day, there will be plenty to keep us busy.

As always, this is your newspaper.

We’re just as much residents of McHenry County as the rest of you, but we take our responsibility to inform our neighbors very seriously.

We’ll continue striving to bring you as much relevant and timely local news as possible however you choose to consume it – from your front porch or driveway to your laptop or mobile phone.

What a good local news outlet does is help maintain a sense of community and share the stories that matter whether they make you angry, sad or thrilled.

Those are our continued expectations for 2014.

Please continue to engage in this pursuit with us. Let us know about stories you’d like to see or stories you believe we are missing. What matters to our readers is what matters to us.

Residents in Ill. Gangs find new home on the Net upset over denial of disaster aid

By SHARON COHEN The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS GIFFORD – Residents of a central Illinois village hit by a powerful November tornado say they’re upset and bewildered by a federal decision this week to deny a state request for aid to reimburse local governments for cleanup and repairs – a judgment Gov. Pat Quinn has vowed to appeal.

Around two dozen tornadoes damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Illinois on Nov. 17.

The one that raked through Gifford, a small farming community of just under 1,000 people, leveled around 70 homes and damaged the village’s water systems.

The owner of Gifford’s North Forty bar, Mike Swinney – whose own home was destroyed – told The (Champaign) News-Gazette he couldn’t fathom how the U.S. government chose not to provide the aid.

“We give all this money to foreign countries and stuff and ... we’re basically surviving on well water,” he said.

Added Lorin Schluter, the owner of Bibb’s restaurant, “It’s a snub of the nose.”

The Federal Emergency

Management Agency notified Illinois on Thursday it had denied the request for $6.1 million to reimburse part of what local governments spent on cleanup and repairs, ruling the infrastructure damage wasn’t severe enough to warrant the federal help.

Gov. Pat Quinn said Friday that Illinois would appeal FEMA’s decision, including by arguing that recent frigid temperatures have further complicated cleanup efforts.

Illinois has 30 days to file its appeal.

State officials say FEMA’s formula for calculating the threshold for local government losses that qualify for the aid – set at $17.8 million for Illinois – works against large states, like Illinois, with heavily populated cities. The threshold is determined by multiplying a state’s population by $1.35, so it would be lower for states with smaller populations, according to Illinois officials.

Among the communities most in need is Washington, about 90 miles northwest of Gifford, where more than 1,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. The deaths of seven people have been directly tied to the November tornadoes.

8STATE BRIEFS Former nursing assistant charged in drug death CHICAGO – A former nursing assistant in suburban Chicago has been charged with drug-induced homicide.

Forty-year-old Michelle Johnson of Palatine is accused of stealing pharmaceutical-grade morphine from a medical facility where she worked.

Cook County sheriff’s police investigating the May theft learned that local police were separately investigating the drug death of a Palatine man.

At his home officers found morphine that was prescribed to someone else.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office said detectives linked the two cases, determining that Johnson and the man, John Maher, were friends and that she supplied him with the morphine that killed him.

Johnson was expected to appear Saturday in bond court in Chicago. It was not immediately clear if she already had a lawyer.

She’s also charged with theft and delivery of a controlled substance.

Aurora condos hit hard by cold lack heat, water AURORA – Officials in Aurora said 66 condominiums at a complex in the city were damaged when this week’s severe winter weather left them without heat or water for several days.

Aurora officials said Friday the condos are in 11 buildings of the Willow of Fox Valley complex on Aurora’s east side.

City firefighters were called to one unit Tuesday because of a broken water pipe. They then discovered the buildings were without either heat or water.

More problems were found Thursday.

The city has urged residents of the buildings without water or heat to find other places to stay while it works with property managers to get repair work done.

CHICAGO – The video is riddled with menace and swagger: Reputed gang members in Chicago point their guns directly at the camera.

A bare-chested young man brandishes an assault weapon. They flash hand signals, dance and, led by a rapper, taunt their rivals as he chants: “Toe tag DOA. That’s for being in my way ... Killing til my heart swell ... Guaranteed there’s going to be all [expletive].”

Thousands watch on YouTube. Among them: the Chicago police, who quickly identify two of those in the video as felons who are prohibited from being around guns. Both are later taken

into custody.

As social media has increasingly become part of daily life, both gangs and law enforcement are trying to capitalize on the reach of this new digital world – and both, in their own ways, are succeeding.

Social media has exploded among street gangs who exploit it – often brazenly – to brag, conspire and incite violence. They’re turning to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram to flaunt guns and wads of cash, threaten rivals, intimidate informants and in a small number of cases, sell weapons, drugs – even plot murder.

“What’s taking place online is what’s taking place in the streets,” says David Pyrooz, an assistant professor at Sam Houston State Universi-

ty who has studied gangs and social media in five big cities.

“The Internet does more for a gang’s brand or a gang member’s identity than word-ofmouth could ever do. It really gives the gang a wide platform to promote their reputations. They can brag about women, drugs, fighting ... and instead of boasting to five gang members on a street corner, they can go online and it essentially goes viral. It’s like this electronic graffiti wall that never gets deleted.”

On the crime-fighting side, “cyberbanging” or “Internet banging,” as this activity is sometimes called, is transforming how police and prosecutors pursue gangs. Along with traditional investigative techniques, police monitor gangs online – sometimes communicating with them

using aliases – and track their activities and rivalries, looking for ways to short-circuit potential flare-ups.

It’s a formidable task: There are millions of images and words, idle boasts mixed in with real threats and an ever-changing social media landscape. Myspace has given way to Facebook and Twitter, but gangs also are using Instagram, Snapchat, Kik and Chirp – different ways of sharing photos, video, audio and words, sometimes through smartphones or pagers.

“It’s kind of like clothing – this is the style today but in two months, it won’t be,” says Alex Del Toro, program director at one of the branches of the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago’s Youth Safety and Violence Prevention program.

Indoor skate park has deep roots in Rockford

By KEVIN HAAS Rockford Register Star ROCKFORD – Treehouse Skatepark knows its roots.

The new indoor terrain inside Fight College Inc., 1311 N. Main St., was built with pieces of Rockford’s skating history. Original coping from Rotation Station, a local skating hub during the late ’80s and early ’90s, lines two wooden quarter pipes. A ramp was donated by Mike Kaiser, who ran the PIT, Rockford’s skating, blading and BMX Mecca from 1993 to 2004.

“The history of skate parks in Rockford, I think people forget about,” said Tracy White, a former in-line skating pro who collaborated with Fight College owner Tony Bandy to open the city’s only indoor terrain for skateboarders, bladers and bikers.

“I remember seeing all kinds of California professionals come out to Rotation Station. It was one of the first indoor parks in the country,”

Max Gersh – Rockford Register Star

Max Barker, 11, reaches for his board as he goes off a ramp Dec. 31 at the Treehouse Skatepark in Rockford. The new indoor terrain was built with pieces of Rockford’s skating history.

White said. “The PIT was the same thing. It was renowned by bikers, roller bladers and skateboarders. People would always make the journey to Rockford.”

White hopes Treehouse Skatepark at Fight College will again give action sport athletes a reason to visit Rockford, especially during the

harsh Midwest winters when there’s no chance to ride outdoors. The setup is small with just about 2,400 square feet of space and 13-foot-high ceilings, but White hopes to make up for that with creativity and unique features.

Today the park has a pair of nearly four-foot quarter pipes, a sub box, and several

To My Benard Family Angela, Tony & Cindy, Patty & Cathy

other rails and ramps, but the setup will change regularly, White said. It also features a rarely seen arch rail and a backyard-style improvised ramp that has a tree branch in place of coping. That’s all part of the “tree house” feel of the park, White said.

“You use any materials you have and you put your own touch on it,” he said.

“That’s basically what we want to do here. We want to have our own touch on custom wood ramps.”

White, a maintenance specialist for the Rockford Park District, said he looked for indoor park sites after he learned a skate park was dropped from plans for the downtown Ingersoll building’s renovation into a sports complex.

“The vibe and the energy you get from an indoor skate park can never be matched at an outdoor park,” White said.

“People have to introduce themselves, they work together, they’re all part of one community.”

ANALYSIS

White House responds to Kimmel controversy

Obama’s grand plan for the Mideast shrinks

By MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Five years after pledging to remake the U.S. relationship with the broader Middle East and improve America’s image in the Muslim world, the Obama administration’s regional strategy appears to have come unhinged.

President Barack Obama has been confronted by fast-moving and ominous developments from Afghanistan to Tunisia, amid a bitter public power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and has adjusted his first term’s grand plan to restore Washington’s standing and influence.

Now, it’s a smaller vision that seems to rely on ad hoc responses aimed at merely keeping the United States relevant in an increasingly volatile and hostile atmosphere.

His administration has been forced to deal with three years of civil war in Syria.

A Western-backed opposition is struggling to topple an autocratic government and repel Islamic fighters who also are destabilizing neighboring Lebanon and Iraq, where al-Qaida has resurged less than three years after Obama withdrew U.S. forces.

The U.S. is struggling to identify a coherent position in Egypt after the military ouster of the country’s first democratically elected president.

The administration tried its best to avoid calling the power transfer a coup.

It is losing patience with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who is refusing to sign a security agreement with

the U.S. The pact would allow the U.S. to leave some troops in the country to help train and assist Karzai’s army in keeping the Taliban at bay after America’s longest conflict ends Dec. 31.

Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal against resistance from both sides, in a quest dismissed by some as quixotic.

Yet apart from Kerry’s efforts, Obama’s national security team seems to have settled on a largely handsoff, do-no-harm approach to developments in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya and Egypt.

This has attracted criticism and concern, not least from traditional U.S. allies such as the Saudis, who like the Israelis and many members of Congress are wary, if not outright opposed to the administration’s engagement with Iran over its nuclear program.

Administration officials, of course, are quick to deny suggestions of indecision, weakness or, worse, political expedience.

They say the president is adopting carefully crafted, pragmatic and diplomatic initiatives for each hot spot – initiatives designed to reduce what current officials believe was President George W. Bush’s reliance on military might and pressure tactics.

While the crises engulfing the Middle East cannot be blamed on Obama, there are growing fears that the U.S.’s Mideast policy has become rudderless and reactive, and may be contributing to worsening conditions and a rise of Islamic extremism, notably in Syria and Iraq.

Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Anne Kelly (right) stands with Gov. Chris Christie (left) during a tour Sept. 12 of the Seaside Heights, N.J., boardwalk after it was hit by a massive fire. Christie fired Kelly on Thursday and apologized over for his staff’s “stupid” behavior, insisting during a nearly two-hour news conference that he had no idea anyone around him had engineered traffic jams as part of a political vendetta against a Democratic mayor.

Christie aide is latest to use private emails

By JACK GILLUM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Personal emails at the center of the brewing scandal for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may have remained secret, had the public and press relied solely on the state’s open records law.

Emails disclosed this past week show a top Christie aide asking the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to shut down three lanes on the busy George Washington Bridge, resulting in major backups for days last September. Those emails were leaked to reporters last week, even though one newspaper requested them nearly a month ago, only to be told they didn’t exist.

The use of private emails adds Christie, a possible Republican presidential can-

didate in 2016, to a growing list of administrations that use private email accounts and other digital services to conduct official business.

In turn, state and federal officials, regardless of political party, have sidestepped public records laws meant to keep government activities transparent.

The Record of Bergen, N.J., said it filed an open-records request last month asking for emails related to the Port Authority’s decision to close the bridge lanes. The request specifically sought emails between David Wildstein, a Christie-appointed Port Authority official, and employees in the governor’s office.

The newspaper received a response from Christie’s office 10 days later, stating that the office “reviewed its records” but did not find any

responsive emails. Weeks later, however, emails similar to what The Record asked for were made public after being obtained under subpoena by state Assembly Democrats.

It’s unclear why the governor’s office didn’t turn over apparently responsive emails from the Yahoo Mail account of Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly. She used the service to send messages to Wildstein, who ordered the bridge lanes closed. Representatives in Christie’s office did not immediately return messages seeking comment Friday.

Public records laws, which can vary widely from state to state, govern how officials’ documents and correspondence should be stored and released. But those laws largely have been slow to catch up to the digital age.

WASHINGTON – The White House has responded to a petition calling for an apology and the removal of Jimmy Kimmel’s television show by saying the comedian can’t be forced off the air.

More than 105,000 people signed Jimmy the petition Kimmel on the White House website. It followed an October broadcast of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” featuring a segment in which Kimmel spoke to young children about U.S. government debt owed to China.

One boy said “kill everyone in China” when Kimmel asked how the U.S. should repay China.

In its response, the White House noted that ABC and Kimmel have apologized, and that the network has removed the segment from future broadcasts and its online platforms.

Neiman latest victim of security breach NEW YORK – Luxury merchant Neiman Marcus says thieves may have stolen customers’ credit card and debit card information and made unauthorized charges over the holiday season.

Neiman Marcus’s spokeswoman Ginger Reeder said in an email that its credit card processor notified the retailer in mid-December about potentially unauthorized payment card activity.

On Jan. 1, a forensics firm confirmed evidence that the upscale retailer was a victim of a criminal cyber-security intrusion and that some customers’ cards were possibly compromised as a result.

Veterans Affairs under fire for proposed disability filing rule

By KEVIN FREKING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For veterans seeking disability compensation, the application process is supposed to be so easy that a handwritten note on a napkin will initiate a claim or an appeal.

An Obama administration proposal would change that, and veterans groups are sounding the alarm.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says the many ways that requests for disability compensation arrive actually hamper its ability to administer benefits, and contribute to a claims backlog that has about 400,000 veterans waiting more than 125 days for a decision.

At times, workers spend so

much time trying to figuring out what’s being claimed and trading letters with applicants that it’s slowing down decisions for everyone.

The VA’s solution would require veterans to use a standard form when they file for disability compensation or appeal a decision, and the agency would throw in some incentives for those who use a computer.

The response to the proposed rule from the nation’s major veterans groups?

“Draconian” and “heavy-handed,” said the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

“A seismic change” that will “poison” the disability claims process, according to the American Legion.

“The most serious, egregious attack on a veter-

an-friendly disability claim system in VA history,” contended the law firm of Bergmann & Moore, which specializes in pursuing disability claims.

The critiques recently submitted in response to the proposed regulation point to one of the sharpest policy disagreements that veteran groups have had with the administration.

Both camps generally have agreed on the need to transform how disability claims are managed; namely, the need to move to a computer system instead of relying on paper records to track a veteran’s injuries, illnesses and service.

So far, the burden has been on the VA to transform. The proposal would place more of the burden on the veteran.

Poor Saudi slums highlight wider housing problems Spill a blow to W.Va. economy The ASSOCIATED PRESS

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia is quietly planning to raze slums in one of its largest cities to make way for newer, restored neighborhoods as part of a wider plan to keep up with soaring demand for affordable housing.

A gap between what is

Fix still days away The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, W.Va. – On the third day without clean tap water, business owners with empty dining rooms and quiet aisles of merchandise around West Virginia’s capital were left to wonder how much of an economic hit they’ll take from a chemical spill.

Most visitors have cleared out of Charleston while locals are either staying home or driving out of the area to find somewhere they can get a hot meal or a shower. Orders not to use tap water for much other than flushing toilets mean that the spill is an emergency not just for the environment but also for local businesses.

A water company executive said Saturday it could be days before uncontaminated water is flowing again for about 300,000 people in nine West Virginia counties. The uncertainty means it’s impossible to estimate the economic impact of the spill yet, said the local chamber of commerce.

Virtually every restaurant was closed Saturday, unable to use water to prepare food, wash dishes or clean employees’ hands. Meanwhile, hotels had emptied and foot traffic was down at many stores.

“I haven’t been able to cook anything at home and was hoping they were open,” Bill Rogers, 52, said outside a closed Tudor’s Biscuit World in Marmet, just east of Charleston. “It seems like every place is closed. It’s frustrating. Really frustrating.”

In downtown Charleston, the Capitol Street row of restaurants and bars were locked up. Amid them, The Consignment Company was open, but business was miserable. The second-hand shop’s owner said she relies on customers who come downtown to eat and drink.

“It’s like a ghost town,” Tammy Krepshaw said. “I feel really bad for all my neighbors. It’s sad.”

The person she doesn’t feel bad for is Freedom Industries President Gary Southern, who told reporters the day before that he was having a long day and quickly wrapped up a news conference on the chemical spill so he could fly out of the area.

“People want answers.

They deserve answers,” Krepshaw said.

At Charleston’s Yeager Airport, a combined seven inbound and outbound flights were canceled. The reason for the cancellations was an agreement between the airlines and unions for flight crews and pilots that hotels meet a certain threshold of service, and the lack of water violates the agreement, said airport spokesman Brian Belcher. Arrangements were being made to house flight personnel in hotels about 40 miles away.

The emergency began Thursday, when complaints came in to West Virginia American Water about a licorice-type odor in the tap water. The source: the chemical 4-methylcyclohexane methanol that leaked out of a 40,000 gallon tank at a Freedom Industries facility along the Elk River. State officials said Saturday they believe about 7,500 gallons leaked from the tank – boosting their estimate by more than 2,000 gallons from previous days. Some of the chemical was contained before flowing into the river; it’s not clear exactly how much entered the water supply.

It could take days for clean tap water to flow again. First, water sample test results must consistently show that the chemical’s presence in the public water system is at or below 1 part per million, the level recommended by federal agencies, West Virginia American Water President Jeff McIntyre said Saturday at a news conference.

available on the market and what many Saudis can afford has left people frustrated and accusing the government of corruption. A shortage of lowand middle-income housing means millions of Saudis cannot afford to buy a home.

Young Saudis are especially affected since it takes years of saving before many can

afford to buy a home, often a precursor to marriage.

To address the housing shortage and public grumbling, the Red Sea city of Jiddah is a testing ground for a plan that includes getting rid of most of its roughly 50 unplanned settlements, which comprise a third of its built-up area, according to municipali-

ty figures.

In their place, the city plans to build subsidized housing complexes for Saudis.

If this new model for revamping the kingdom’s second-largest city succeeds, it would be replicated throughout Saudi Arabia in areas where aging infrastructure needs overhaul.

The project is new, and even revolutionary, for a country where speaking openly about poverty is taboo and can lead to arrest. There are no official government figures on poverty levels in Saudi Arabia and several Saudi-based research analysts say there are no mechanisms in place to permit studies on it.

Africa sees violent start to 2014 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Registered nurse Lauren Purdom-Carr of Marengo grabs supplies Friday while working with a patient at Centegra Hospital – Woodstock.

County to benefit from expected job growth Growing occupations

• JOBS Continued from page A1 care industry are expected to create about a third of the 15.6 million new jobs expected in that 10-year period, the BLS said.

Some of that growth in health care jobs is expected to take place in McHenry County.

Centegra Health System expects to add about 1,000 jobs by 2016 after completing construction of a new hospital in Huntley.

Centegra’s recruiter for nursing Steve Osborne and Vice President of Human Resources Development Berni Szczepanski say they expect to see growth in health care jobs.

“A lot of individuals are using health care, there’s a rush of baby boomers, people retiring and phasing into retirement,” Szczepanski said.

“The need is definitely there.”

Osborne runs an annual health career fair for eighth-graders in the county, where students learn about the different jobs in health care, other than doctors and nurses.

The students can learn about dietitian jobs, speech language pathology, physical therapy, medical physicists, medical lab technicians or medical imaging roles, among other positions, he said.

Connie Gustafson is the manager of human resources at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington.

“We’re trying to [determine] what future needs will be, especially as we watch what happens with the [health] exchanges,” Gustafson said.

As hospitals try to determine new ways to more efficiently deliver health care, there is expected to be more demand for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, Gustafson said.

It would “help better manage that patient and the patient population in support of the primary physician,” she said.

Advanced practice nurses also help facilitate special orders for patients or patient transfers overnight, said Cathy Scanlon, a staffing consultant for Good Shepherd.

There also will be a need for more nurses to help with follow-up medical care after

NAIROBI, Kenya – The death tolls are huge and the individual incidents gruesome. One estimate says nearly 10,000 people have been killed in South Sudan in a month of warfare, while in neighboring Central African Republic combatants in Muslim-vs.-Christian battles have beheaded children.

Sub-Saharan Africa has seen a very violent start to 2014, with raging conflicts in South Sudan and Central African Republic, as well as continued violence in Congo, and attacks in Somalia and

Kenya.

Compared to decades past, Africa and its people are suffering from fewer conflicts today, but several recent outbreaks of violence are cause for concern, said J. Peter Pham, director of the Washington-based think tank Africa Center at the Atlantic Council. The conflicts also lack strong international peacekeeping, he said.

“Peacekeeping in Africa, whether under the formal auspices of the United Nations or those of the African Union, suffers today from the same two limitations which they have been burdened

with since the very first U.N. peacekeeping mission, the 1960-1964 operation in the Congo (ONUC), namely lack of political will resulting in a weak mandate and lack of adequate forces,” he wrote by email.

The conflict that broke out in South Sudan on Dec. 15 saw violence radiate across the country as ethnic groups targeted each other. Shortly afterward Uganda dispatched troops and military equipment to aid South Sudan’s central government from breakaway units of that country’s military.

Netanyahu: ‘His memory will be enshrined forever’ in Israel • SHARON Continued from page A1 Former President George W. Bush, who was in the White House during Sharon’s tenure, called him a “warrior for the ages and a partner in seeking security for the Holy Land and a better, peaceful Middle East.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a rival and harsh critic of Sharon, said: “His memory will be enshrined forever in the heart of the nation.”

President Shimon Peres, a longtime friend and rival,

said, “he was an outstanding man and an exceptional commander who moved his people and loved them and the people loved him.”

The Palestinians, who loathed Sharon as their most bitter enemy, distributed candy, prayed for divine punishment and said they regretted he was never held accountable for his actions, including a massacre in the Lebanese refugee camps of Sabra and Chatilla by Christian militiamen allied with Israel during the 1982 invasion that was largely his brainchild.

“He wanted to erase the

Palestinian people from the map. ... He wanted to kill us, but at the end of the day, Sharon is dead and the Palestinian people are alive,” said Tawfik Tirawi, who served as Palestinian intelligence chief when Sharon was prime minister.

The man Israel knew simply by his nickname “Arik” fought in most of Israel’s wars, gained a reputation as an adroit soldier and was the godfather of Israel’s settlement campaign in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He detested Yasser Arafat, his lifelong adversary, as an “obstacle to peace” and was in turn

people are discharged from the hospital, such as making sure they are able to get and take their medications, Scanlon said.

She added the aging baby boomer population is seeking more preventative care or is beginning to need even more regular care.

“There’s more focus on preventative care and better management of chronic health conditions so they don’t get worse,” she said.

“There’s a great deal of focus on wellness.”

There are also positions that can assist licensed professionals in processing paperwork, which could give nurses more time to be bedside, Scanlon said.

“If we can have other jobs in support of licensed professionals, it helps create better efficiency,” Gustafson said.

Christine Curtis of Fox River Grove is a registered nurse at Good Shepherd.

The 25-year-old joined the hospital about a year ago after working in a nursing extended care home for a year and a half.

Along with having the passion for taking care of people, she knew nursing was a job that was in demand.

“I kind of always thought it would be a stable job and something I would be able to do for a long time,” Curtis said.

The medical-surgical nurse likes to encourage people who might want to go into the medical field.

“You could go anywhere and find something,” Curtis said.

Sudan analyst for the International Crisis Group, said violence in Africa tends to involve other countries and noted a “long history of regional involvement in African conflicts.”

The U.N. Security Council on Friday, however, “strongly discouraged external intervention that would exacerbate the military and political tensions.” The U.N. has said more than 1,000 people have died in the South Sudan conflict. But Copeland, after speaking to U.N. workers, aid actors, government officials and combatants, estimates nearly 10,000 have died.

His career spanned the Middle East conflict from its early skirmishes through five wars, one of which left him hailed as his nation’s savior, and another reviled as its disgrace.

He was a lifelong opponent of concessions to the Arabs who ended up giving away land and offering the Palestinians a state of their own.

His was a life of surprises, none bigger than his election as prime minister in his twilight years, when he spent his first term crushing a Palestinian uprising and his second withdrawing from Gaza.

State law forbids concealed carry in government buildings, courts • EXEMPTION

“We took their direction, essentially, that given the nature of elected officials, unlike [government] employees, there is a strong argument that they are on duty around the clock.”

Continued from page A1 treasurer, recorder and regional superintendent of schools; and the eight elected judges of the 22nd Judicial Circuit. Sheriffs are empowered for obvious reasons to carry weapons under state law, which also grants the privilege to coroners.

After some wrangling about when an elected official is on duty or off, committee members instructed the state’s attorney’s office to exempt them altogether.

“We took their direction, essentially, that given the nature of elected officials, unlike [government] employees, there is a strong argument that they are on duty around the clock,” Civil Division Chief Donna Kelly said.

Illinois’ new concealed-carry law already forbids carrying in government buildings and courthouses, but the county’s guidelines specifically forbid rank-andfile employees who do not carry weapons as part of their job from carrying on county property, or in county-owned or personal vehicles while on the clock. While the new proposed language exempts the elected officials from the twopage policy, it also specifically states that they can carry a concealed weapon while using privately-owned vehicles for county business.

The Illinois State Police began processing concealed-carry permit requests Jan. 5.

State lawmakers hashed out a concealed-carry law last year after a federal judge in December 2012 struck down Illinois’ total ban as unconstitutional. Illinois was the last state to deny its citizens some form of carrying firearms in public.

Illinois’ law, one of the

What it means A McHenry County Board proposal to forbid county employees from carrying concealed weapons on taxpayer time has been amended to exempt County Board members and other county-level elected officials.

What’s next The Management Services Committee will meet at 8:30 a.m.

Monday at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, to vote on the recommendation for later board approval. more stringent of the 50 states, allows residents to obtain a five-year concealed-carry permit for a $150 fee after completing a 16-hour training course, the longest of any state. Nonresidents must pay a $300 fee for a permit. Illinois does not recognize concealed-carry permits from other states, although the new law allows nonresidents passing through to keep their weapons in their cars.

Besides government facilities and courthouses, carrying is forbidden in parks and festivals, mass transit, schools and colleges, hospitals, stadiums, bars, and dining establishments that make more than half of their revenue from alcohol sales.

Business owners can ban concealed weapons from their properties, but must place a sign designed by the state police at the entrance. However,

the law allows people to store their weapons in their locked vehicles in parking lots where carrying is banned by law or by the establishment owner.

A number of County Board members, countywide elected officials and county employees are members of the McHenry County Right to Carry Association, President Mickey Schuch said. The group, formed to push for the right to concealed carry in Illinois, does not divulge its membership list.

Schuch said the group is watching the county’s proposed limitation closely, and members have expressed their concerns to various County Board members. He said he understands the county’s desire to limit liability, but said it should not come at the cost of depriving employees of the right to defend themselves while out in the community.

“Just because you work for the county, the state or anybody, any type of situation where one would have to defend themselves, who knows when that day or moment may come?” Schuch said.

The courts in recent years have struck down numerous Illinois gun-control laws at the state and local levels as violating the Second Amendment right to bear arms. A day after the state police began accepting concealed-carry permit requests, a federal judge ruled that Chicago’s ban on the sale of guns in city limits is unconstitutional.

Underwater mortgages weighing down Illinois Being underwater on the mortgage is a drag for homeowners and our state’s economy.

The outsized loans can have a number of negative effects on these unfortunate borrowers, all of it adding up to them having less money to spend and less opportunity to meet their goals than they otherwise might.

Market data show that Illinois has a higher percentage of underwater homeowners than most states.

According to For the record a report released Thursday by Having so many people RealtyTrac, a saddled with outsized debts real-estate inforwill continue to hold back our mation company state’s economy. based in Irvine, Calif., Illinois has the third-highest percentage of homeowners whose properties are “deeply underwater,” behind only Nevada (38 percent) and Florida (34 percent).

RealtyTrac defines “deeply underwater” as those whose mortgages are at least 125 percent of the market value of their home. Statewide, about 32 percent of homeowners – about 775,000 households – are “deeply underwater,” while in the Chicago market, it’s 33 percent, the report showed.

A more conservative estimate by financial information provider CoreLogic (also based in Irvine) put the figure at 17.7 percent of Illinois homeowners who were underwater, with another 3.7 percent nearly so, in the third quarter of 2013. That’s still more than 400,000 underwater homeowners.

Having so many people saddled with outsized debts will continue to hold back our state’s economy until either enough time passes or more relief measures are undertaken.

Illinois homeowners have received some relief, including more than $1.8 billion in principal reductions and refinancing for underwater loans under a national foreclosure settlement reached in 2012. But the problem remains.

Some might be tempted to blame these homeowners for making bad investments, and that is partly their responsibility. However, let us not forget the wisdom that once prevailed about the relative safety of investing in homeownership, how people were encouraged to buy homes by people everywhere, and how eager banks were to lend this money during the housing boom that ended in the middle of the last decade.

Today, those underwater homeowners who have chosen not to abandon their homes to foreclosure have less money to spend on other goods and services than they would if their mortgage were in line with their property’s value. Those who do not have the money to cover the shortfall in their loan-to-value ratio might have missed out on opportunities to take advantage of lower interest rates or to move in pursuit of new career prospects.

The number of homes that are deeply underwater nationwide shrunk to about 9.3 million nationally in December, down from a peak of 12.8 million in May 2012, according to RealtyTrac. It’s a sign that home prices are increasing around the country.

But there remain obstacles for homeowners and for the recovery of the housing market.

Until property values begin to appreciate at a faster pace, or more is done to relieve underwater homeowners of some of their burden, Illinois economic recovery will continue to face a headwind.

Terrorist threat in Iraq The ominous resurgence of major al-Qaidalinked Islamic militancy in Iraq, with key cities effectively falling into the hands of the Sunni jihadists, is a grim reminder of just how imperative it is an agreement be reached to enable a residual U.S. and coalition force to remain in Afghanistan.

Such an agreement for a residual force in Iraq, had the Obama administration succeeded in negotiating it with Baghdad ahead of the drawdown of forces, might have gone a significant way toward heading off the strategic disaster now evident. It is vital Washington does not give up on a forces agreement with Kabul, fraught though negotiations have become with President Hamid Karzai.

Maintaining a residual force in Iraq that would enable Washington to continue to influence the country’s development was a key objective of coalition policy. In his rush to claim the political kudos for ending a highly unpopular war started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, President Barack Obama failed to successfully negotiate a deal with Baghdad.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE A good deed To the Editor: While my grandson, Scott, recently was home on leave from the Army, he went to get a haircut.

While waiting for his turn, another man was trying to pay his bill, but his credit card wasn’t working. Scott gave the barber his credit card to pay the man’s bill.

The barber asked Scott if he knew the man, and Scott said no, but he looked like he could use some help.

After Scott got his haircut, he handed his card to the barber, who said, “Your’s is free.”

I am so proud of my grandson, and thank you also to the barber.

Life is good.

Grateful for quilt To the Editor: When I was at the Sage Cancer Center at Centegra – McHenry, I received a beautiful handmade quilt made by the McHenry Quilters.

I was thinking about the group of women who did this type of work when I saw a picture of the McHenry Quilters in the Neighbors section of the Northwest Herald, and, in the front row, was a picture of my quilt.

Now I feel as though I know these wonderful women. My quilt is very

colorful and brightens up my room.

Thank you, ladies, so much. I’m sending my thanks and a hug for each of you from a grateful patient.

No love for Cutler To the Editor: Da Bears. So Jay, do you ever think you’ll be putting a Super Bowl ring on it?

Let’s be real now, Bears fans. Jay Cutler at $126 million for seven years? Priceless.

Remember when Lovie Smith received a contract extension? Gone.

Poor Tampa. Maybe Jay should go and join Lovie in Tampa.

When you win six Super Bowls, then you really get a nice raise.

P.S. You will never ever put a ring on it, unless you prove me wrong.

Bye, bye, Phil Everly; your music endures One mark of a good song is that it makes Billboard’s top 10 list.

An even greater indicator is its staying power; whether it is remembered decades after it was a hit. Perhaps the highest accolade is whether the artist influences other musicians. All of these standards were met by the singing duo the Everly Brothers, one of whom, Phil, has died days shy of his 75th birthday.

At age 16, I was a disc jockey for a suburban Washington, D.C., radio station. I hosted a weekend music program called “The Top Fifty Show.” The Everly Brothers were always at or near the top of my list.

Phil and Don Everly squeezed into the public consciousness for only a few years between 1957, the year before Elvis Presley left a gaping hole in pop music when he entered the Army, and the arrival of The Beatles, who more than filled that void beginning in 1964. The brothers’ music survives, not only in its own right, but because of its influence on other acts, including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, Simon and Garfunkel and Bob Dylan.

VIEWS Cal Thomas

The music was danceable, the lyrics understandable and the sentiments memorable. My generation “invented” rock and roll. While some of it was sexually suggestive, it avoided coarse language and left much to young imaginations. Not all of us, including me, understood at the time what Fats Domino meant when he sang “I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill.”

Wonderfully handsome with good stage presence and great hair, Phil and Don expressed in their music what was in the hearts of many teenagers. “All I Have to Do is Dream” is about a guy who loves a girl and can always be with her in his dreams.

Two of my favorites remain “That’s Old Fashioned” and “Wake Up Little Susie,” because they appealed to a moral code that has not been followed in many years, especially in popular music and culture.

In “That’s Old Fashioned,”

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Don and Phil sing: “It’s a modern changing world, everything is moving fast; “But when it comes to love, I like what they did in the past.

“I’m the kind who loves only one, so the boys say I’m oldfashioned.

“Let them laugh, honey, I don’t mind.

“I’ve made plans for a wedding day for you and me.

“That’s old-fashioned, that’s the way love should be.”

Phil didn’t practice what he sang. He married three times and struggled with drugs, but the standard remains a good one in an age of singers whose performances would be shameful to most people alive in the ’50s.

In “Wake Up Little Susie,” the brothers sang about a boy and girl on a movie date. They fall asleep in the car and when they wake up at 4 a.m., the boy fears they may be in trouble with her parents: “What are we gonna tell your Mama?

“What are we gonna tell your Pa? “What are we gonna tell our friends

“When they say, “Ooh la la!”

There is also this: “The movie wasn’t so hot.

“It didn’t have much of a plot.

“We fell asleep, our goose is cooked.

“Our reputation is shot.”

Who worries about reputation today? What followed in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s was music containing foul lyrics, explicit sex, hatred of parents, gangsta rap about killing the police, misogyny. I doubt that those who listened to it will proudly play the music of their lives for their grandchildren as my generation can.

From an Everly Brothers song that wasn’t a hit comes a lyric that those who love the Everly Brothers might say fits Phil’s passing: “There’ll be a day you’ll want me only.

“But when I leave, I’ll be a long time gone...”

That day has arrived. While Phil may be gone, his and Don’s music endures. What artist could ask for more?

TOLLWAY FILLS POTHOLES ON I-90 HUNTLEY – Crews from the Illinois Tollway Authority should finish filling potholes along Interstate 90 near Huntley on Sunday after motorists started to report damaged tires earlier in the weekend.

The wet and cold weather late Friday evening created the potholes on I-90 between Elgin and Rockford, an Illinois Tollway spokesperson said. The westbound construction zone between Route 47 in Huntley and Route 20 in Marengo saw the worst of the road craters.

But that stretch of old pavement was already scheduled to be reconstructed later this year, the Tollway said. Crews worked overnight Friday through Saturday to repair the worst potholes.

Contractors should finish the emergency repairs Sunday.

Motorists concerned about damage to their cars on interstate highways can file a report with the Illinois State Police at 630-241-6800, ext. 5042.

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – After taking over the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District’s fire alarm monitoring system, the village of Algonquin is now looking for a prospective buyer.

Algonquin earlier this month put out a request for proposals to purchase the radio frequen-

exclusion of the private sector, including ADS, from freely competing for the business,” wrote Bruce Goldsmith, attorney for Alarm Detection Systems.

The lawsuit asks that the village “completely divest themselves from the business in a manner that will ensure that all private alarm contractors in the business will be able to freely and openly compete for com-

mercial accounts.”

Earlier this summer, a federal appeals court in a case involving ADT Security Systems and the Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection District found that the fire district did not have the statutory authority to own the signaling equipment or to assess fees to maintain the system.

Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War Ted Biever of Lake in the Hills poses Friday for a portrait outside the National Guard Armory in Woodstock. Biever had a hand at starting a therapy group for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder that strays from traditional techniques.

Upstart therapy group looks to find its footing in the community

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The gruff man with the worn face squeezes his puffed eyes closed.

Ted Biever’s mind tries to focus on the anxiety, the deep-seated feeling brought on by a story he has never stopped telling himself.

Of war. Of death. All packed in that same dang dream.

That story, the therapist will repeatedly tell him and the others on this Thursday night in an open, upper room of the Lake in the Hills American Legion, is not the boss.

The story is a story. Biever is the boss. If he – if all these men – focus on the feeling instead, first welcoming the anxiety or anger or sadness before allowing it to dissipate, the stories can’t maintain their choking grip.

“You are not your thoughts and

“[Therapy] should be brief, to the point.

You get better and you move on. Like anything else, you need a tune-up, you go back in.”

Tammy Stroud Veteran who helped created veteran therapy group

feelings,” said David Welch, the therapist who runs the group. “You simply have them.”

It can sound, at first, like metaphysical nonsense. But in this upstart group, leaders are presenting a therapy that strays – successfully, they say – from the techniques traditionally applied to treat war-related post-traumatic stress disorder.

Rather than continuously drudging up old memories of war in an effort to learn to think differently about them – a process called cognitive processing therapy – the very

small number of vets who have so far opted for the alternative therapy don’t share stories at all. In large part, they don’t know what the others in the circle have seen or what nightmares plague them.

Instead, vets learn to mentally and physically “just let it go,” that phrase they have heard for years without actual direction as to how, Welch said.

The group sprang up from a couple McHenry County veterans who recognized a need for more local efforts.

Having spent decades in therapy himself since his Vietnam War deployment as a Marine in the late 1960s, Biever had grown skeptical of traditional therapy methods.

But his standing as a veteran in the community meant he would sometimes get asked by the mothers of younger veterans about how to combat PTSD. He directed one young guy to Welch and heard rave reviews.

Having to relive those painful war moments is a factor that can keep veterans from seeking therapy.

Welch’s technique felt safer.

And, that first guy told Biever, it worked. So he sent another young veteran, and after another positive response, Biever decided to see what Welch’s therapy could do for himself. He, too, felt the results.

The first event, which is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Wednesday in the Johnsburg High School auditorium, will focus on the district’s finances and how the referendum would fit in.

The district has struggled with aging infrastructure and dropping enrollment, passing a “worst-case scenario” budget this past fall with a projected deficit of $1.4 million in its education fund.

If voters approve the

The money brought in

would have to be used for building maintenance and improvements.

A second forum set for 7 p.m. Jan. 22 in the school’s auditorium will address the district’s facilities. District staff, as well as the district’s architects and financial consultants, will speak.

The district has already put together a tentative but fairly comprehensive list of site, exterior and interior improvements – updated wiring, paving parking lots and replacing heating and air conditioning units – and possible enhancements for the district’s four schools.

More information will be posted to the district’s website, www.johnsburg12. org, as it becomes available, the district said in a news release.

Instead, it meets in the basement of the State Bank of the Lakes in Spring Grove because the Town Hall, which may date back as far as 1893 when the first plot of survey marks it as the town hall, doesn’t have bathrooms

and isn’t compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Supervisor Sam Jones said.

That is why, at its meeting Tuesday evening, the board of trustees will discuss its options, including renting a new space, building a new Town Hall or making do, Clerk April Shetsky said.

The Town Hall is currently used to store documents and for short meetings of township employees. It has water but no septic system, and the lot it is on is not large enough for a septic system to be installed at a reasonable rate, Jones said.

Commercial properties required to connect to system • ALARM Continued from page B1 Algonquin has an ordinance requiring all commercial properties in the village to directly connect to the wireless monitoring system. There are 441 alarms monitored by the system; 281 of those are in Algonquin.

The rest are businesses and multifamily properties that voluntarily joined the network in Barrington Hills, Cary, Huntley and Lake in the Hills.

According to a request for proposal posted on the village of Algonquin’s website, the village has chosen not to proceed in offering the service on its own.

As part of the transition, the current alarm subscribers will not be transferred to the successful proposal.

Each subscriber will have the opportunity to pick its own alarm-monitoring company.

“We don’t believe the village or the fire protection district should own the system. We believe in the open market, the free marketplace.”

Kevin Lehan Executive director of the Illinois Electronic Security Association

direction.

“We don’t believe the village or the fire protection district should own the system,” Lehan said. “We believe in the open market, the free marketplace.”

Lehan said the association would not want to see one company buy all the equipment and by default get all of the customers, creating a monopoly.

He added people should be able “to choose the technology they want and the service provider they want.”

Mike Kumbera, assistant to the village manager, said the village does not comment on pending litigation.

“There is no plan for the village to have a system to which the mandatory requirement would apply in the future,” the proposal request said.

“This [request for proposal] will divest the village of the equipment with which it could operate such a system, so all subscribers will need to make arrangements with private companies to provide the required service in the future.”

Kevin Lehan is the executive director of the Illinois Electronic Security Association, which has just less than 100 members mostly in the Chicago area, including ADS. He said the proposal request was a step in the right

Group looks for funding to expand More information

• PTSD Continued from page B1 Biever sought out Tammy Stroud, a well-connected veteran, to help formally create a veterans therapy group around Welch.

“I was telling Tammy there are so many young kids out there that need this help,” Biever said. “If they can get ahold of them now, they aren’t going to be screwed up the rest of their lives.”

After initial setbacks, the group received funding to start the program through the Mental Health Board and from a portion of a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant that has been designated to transform the way local agencies provide for McHenry County veterans, Stroud said.

The program has no formal ties to the Department of Veterans Affairs, but Stroud said she thinks it’s the kind of community-based effort the VA wants to see.

“They recognize they can’t treat all the veterans that are going to be returning,” she said.

Of course, any effort means little if it doesn’t work or endure. Biever said he’s proof Welch’s techniques – which aren’t his originally, but have been borrowed and molded to fit veterans – are effective.

Thursday night, he tells Welch his anxiety is through

For information on the veteran therapy group, call Tammy Stroud at 815-861-2006 or David Welch at 815-276-7285.

the roof – 10 out of 10 – before beginning a technique called “releasing.” Over the course of about five minutes, Welch directs Biever, eyes closed, to focus on the physical sensation of anxiety – not the story causing it. Welch has Biever repeat phrases.

“Anxiety,” they both said, one after the other. “You can stay or you can go.

“I give you permission to leave.”

The display makes a couple veterans, in a room of about a dozen, visibly uncomfortable.

One says it reminds him of a yoga class. Minutes later, after receiving the treatment, he admits its calming effect while remaining skeptical that it can truly rid him of the feelings that war memories – the things he “wasn’t supposed to see” – elicit.

But several veterans preach the drastic impact the new therapy has had on their lives.

Pat Fimon, who served in the Marine Corps from 1967 to 1971, admits he thought he was too old to get any real relief from years of suffering through PTSD. He always had the same nightmare: He

and his brothers are getting overrun. Everybody dies. Fimon runs out of ammo.

The other night, in the middle of all the action, he simply told himself it was a dream and awoke – relieved.

“I don’t have to dream this anymore,” Fimon said.

He still does occasionally, he said, but less frequently.

Biever, too, has felt relief from years of nightmares.

They still come but not as often.

When Welch finishes with Biever’s treatment Thursday, he asks again where his anxiety rests.

“Two, or three,” Biever rumbled.

The group has big plans for where this program might go, but additional funding will be needed to take things where Stroud and Welch envision. To secure it, the group will likely have to be able to prove its effectiveness.

If it comes, that money could go to add several meeting groups a week or provide one-on-one counseling outside of weekly sessions, which Welch says can greatly improve the effectiveness of the release technique – and in a shorter period of time than some might think. “[Therapy] should be brief, to the point,” Stroud said. “You get better and you move on. Like anything else, you need a tune-up, you go back in.”

Board also to discuss senior transportation • LOCATION Continued from page B1 The township’s supervisor, clerk, road commissioner, assessor and four trustees are all part time, Shetsky said.

The Town Hall does not have regular hours for when it’s open.

The board of trustees will also discuss senior transportation, which will cost more for the township to provide at the same levels in the future,

she said.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

CRYSTAL LAKE: FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

CL OKs construction debris fill

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A new construction debris fill facility could transform a large pit on Virginia Road into a future spot for industrial businesses.

The Curran Group received the green light to use a 116-acre portion of land at the southwest corner of Rakow and Virginia roads for a clean construction and demolition debris fill facility that would accept broken concrete, asphalt, gravel,

sand, brick and topsoil.

Much of the material would fill a 40-foot pit that was created after more than a decade of mining when Meyer Materials obtained the property in 1997. Curran plans show that it could take between 10 to 15 years to fill in the full depressional area on the property.

Once restored, the land could be developed into a business strip for industrial services.

The Curran Group has obtained all the necessary permits from the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency and will be required to show the Crystal Lake City Council it remains in compliance with those standards each year.

A study by the city consultant showed the project would not have an effect on ground water levels, which could have resulted in higher water elevations at nearby Three Oaks Recreation Area.

The project will go through the Lake in the Hills zoning process before it officially begins because of airport requirements.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois now is offering evening sessions at Sage YMCA for families who cannot make traditional after-school hours because of work conflicts.

Girls on the Run – a program designed to instill self-respect and healthy living that culminates in a 5K race – is expecting to serve more than 1,000 girls throughout McHenry, DeKalb and Winnebago counties this year with roughly 50 locations in McHenry County alone.

The program has traditionally run between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m. after school, but executive director Laurie Dayon said the organization wanted to make the program more convenient for families.

The twice-a-week, 90-minute sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Sage YMCA in Crystal Lake. That session is open for third- through fifth-graders.

“As we expand, we want to make sure that this program is available for every family who wants to participate,” Dayon said in a release.

CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 55, CARY-GROVE 49 (OT)

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick

Father Time gaining edge on Peppers By this time next week, Julius Peppers will be 34 years old.

Thirty-four.

In the real world, it’s no big deal to be 34. You’ve escaped the angst of your teens and the turbulence of your 20s. Maybe you’re married. Maybe you have kids.

Maybe you’ve earned a promotion. Maybe you’ve changed careers.

But we all know that the NFL is not the real world.

In the NFL, players in their mid-30s might as well NFL scoreboard be dinosaurs.

They tend to fall into three Saturday’s Results categories: Seahawks 23, Saints 15 Quarterbacks Patriots 43, Colts 22 • Game stories on Page C3. (see: Tom Brady, Peyton Today’s Games Manning), 49ers at Panthers, noon specialists Chargers at Broncos, 3:40 p.m. (see: Adam Vinatieri, Patrick More inside Mannelly) and breaking Hub Arkush down position and Kevin Fishplayers. bain review Peppers the Bears’ isn’t a quarcornerbacks, terback or a safeties and quarterbacks. specialist.

Pages C6-7.

The Bears have a tough decision to make this winter regarding Peppers’ future. General manager Phil Emery must decide whether he thinks the eight-time Pro Bowl defensive end can bounce back from an inconsistent season to merit a salary-cap hit in the neighborhood of $18 million.

Perhaps the Bears could try to restructure Peppers’ deal for the second straight season. Or perhaps they could cut Peppers with two years remaining on his deal.

Then again, the Bears could try to squeeze at least one more season out of Peppers under his current deal, hoping he has more success at age 34 than did Brian Urlacher.

Emery, as always, has remained tightlipped about his plan.

First, the Bears must decide whether to retain defensive coordinator Mel Tucker.

Then, they must determine whether to preserve a 4-3 defensive scheme, switch to a 3-4 scheme or implement some sort of in-between, hybrid option.

And then comes Peppers’ contract, which could affect other free-agent signings.

“I’m not going to get into contracts,” Emery said this month when Peppers’ name came up at the Bears’ season-ending news conference. “He’s under contract.

“Julius had an 8-8 year, like all of us, like I did, and that’s where he’s at.”

Crystal Lake South junior Bri Halley (left) blocks the shot of Cary-Grove junior Karisa Wilczynski during the second quarter of Saturday’s game in Cary. Crystal Lake South won, 55-49, in overtime.

Barker leads Trojan’s rally with 25 points, but Gators prevail in OT

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CARY – It had been 20 days since the Crystal Lake South girls basketball team had played a game.

With the way the Gators started against Cary-Grove on Saturday, it would have been hard to guess they were coming off a long layoff. The Gators were in control from the opening minute,

and by halftime, they had built an 11-point lead. But the Trojans, led by junior Katie Barker, came back to tie the score in the final minute of regulation and forced overtime.

Despite the comeback, the Gators used a go-ahead 3-pointer by sophomore guard Chanel Fanter to spark them to a 55-49 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division overtime win against C-G. “I saw that resilience to come back,” South coach Kyle Mc-

Caughn said. “ ... Just that mentality of knowing that, ‘OK, we can answer and that’s a sophomore (in Fanter) stepping up and saying I can answer.’ “ Barker’s putback off her own miss with 45 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter tied the score at 44. After getting the ball back with 20 second left, the Trojans (12-7, 3-3 FVC Valley) had multiple chances to go ahead but couldn’t knock down a shot, sending the game

into overtime. C-G got its first lead of the game, 46-44, on another Barker basket during its first possession of overtime.

However, it was all South (11-6, 3-1) from there. Fanter, who scored a team-high 21 points, hit a 3-pointer to give the Gators a 47-46 lead, which started an 11-3 run. Barker (game-high 25 points) made her fifth 3-pointer of the game to make

SYCAMORE INVITATIONAL

Hernandez leads McHenry to 4th place

Bears defensive end Julius Peppers, who will turn 34 Satuday, adjusts his helmet against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 29 at Soldier Field.

The Bears have a tough decision to make this winter regarding Peppers’ future.

SYCAMORE – Had he not been injured in last year’s sectionals, McHenry senior Luis Hernandez said he thinks he already would have a state meet under his belt. If Saturday’s Sycamore Invitational was any indication, only an injury could keep the 220-pounder from heading to Champaign this season.

Hernandez won by fall in his first four matches of Saturday’s tournament before beating Hononegah’s Blake Zalapi, who is ranked in the top 21 in Class 3A by illinoismatmen.com, by a 9-0 major decision in the final, leading McHenry to a fourth-place finish out of 25 teams.

“He’s night and day from last year. He was good last year, and

had potential to get down state … but this year, he’s really dominated everybody,” McHenry coach Will Gaddy said. “At the beginning of the year, he started to show a lot of potential in being able to wrestle like this, but he wasn’t really smooth.

Now, he’s starting to wrestle, and he’s doing his stuff on his feet.”

Hernandez’s movements on the mat are more fluid than last year, Gaddy and Hernandez agreed, and his determination, spurred by last year’s disappointing finish, has been heightened.

On Saturday, he led a contingent of eight McHenry wrestlers who finished in the top eight, and he has a deep postseason run on Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com his mind as the Warriors head McHenry’s Luis Hernandez (left) wrestles Hononegah’s Blake Zalapi in the into the season’s stretch run.

J

ay Cutler has yet to throw an interception during this NFL postseason. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: I feel like such a jerk.

The 3-year anniversary of Jay Cutler’s one and only playoff win is coming up on Thursday, and I haven’t bought him anything.

Styf: I’m working on getting him a bolo tie. Philip Rivers got his from a guy named Ted Williams, who sent it to him. Now he’s made the tie famous again, similar to what Cutler has done for the Pick 6.

Musick: Didn’t Ted Williams die like 10 years ago? Apparently, they didn’t freeze his bolo tie.

Anyway, I’d like to think that Cutler would class it up for his postgame interview if he were playing this weekend.

Double-breasted suit, silk tie, thousand-dollar dress shoes, the whole deal.

Styf: The reality is, as we know, that Jay isn’t playing this weekend. Eight teams with eight pretty good QBs are. The Bears seem to think Cutler is playoff-winner material. I am not so confident. Kristin can dress him up but she can’t make him make better decisions. The Bears just need to hope that Marc Trestman is Cutler’s Mike McCoy, who has help turn Rivers’ career around this season. Heck, he’s even making Eddie Royal look good this year.

Musick: Royal hasn’t enjoyed this much success at wide receiver since he was with Denver and some guy named Cutler was his quarterback. The same Cutler who has a Super Bowl closet but a mediocre résumé. But let’s go through the eight quarterbacks who reached the divisional round. Would you rank Cutler ahead of any of them? Rivers?

Cam Newton? Colin Kaepernick?

Andrew Luck?

Styf: No. No. Maybe. And no. I am not sold on Kaepernick in different ways than Cutler, but he’s also thrown his share of duds this season. The other four are so much better than Cutler that it’s not worth talking about.

Yes, Russell Wilson has reached that point already. I think that tells us what we need to know here.

Musick: I would argue with you, except I think you’re right.

I can tell you who disagrees, though: Phil Emery and Marc Trestman. They guaranteed three years and $54 million to their hot-and-cold quarterback, and if the deal doesn’t result in playoff wins during that threeyear window, both the coach and general manager could be out the door along with Cutler four years from now.

Styf: If Jay’s as bad as I’m afraid he might be, both of us might get fired over this too.

That’s just how the NFL works, got to clean house. Then we’d have more time to enjoy the finer things in life, like Dave Coulier’s humor.

Musick: He’s coming to the Raue Center, you know. Mark your calendar for next Saturday. The Bears are off that day, I checked.

Carlos Sainz Jr. will make his Web.com Tour debut this year after earning his tour card in qualifying school. The Elgin native and former Mississippi State golfer remains a regular at Bull Valley Golf Club.

Sainz credits the Woodstock course for being one of the first clubs that welcomed him and helped shape his game as he began his journey toward becoming a professional golfer.

There’s really no magical way of turning pro and being a professional golfer. You just start entering tournaments as a professional and you start accepting money for your good play. For me, it’s been quite a journey. I’ve been living in people’s houses and living out of my car. It’s kind of that cliche you hear every once in a while from these other pros. But I’ve been doing everything I can just to stay alive and make some money, pay bills and do what I need to do to play professional golf. Two years ago, I had to caddy all winter in Naples, Fla., just to make some money. I’m not downplaying it at all. It’s just an experience I had to do.

You’re kind of your own manager when you start playing this game because unless you’re a stud out of college and you have a sports management company behind you and you have your agent, you’re kind of in charge of your own [journey]. For me, it has definitely been adding up. I’ve been improving every year a little bit and I would say the last two years, I’ve seen the most growth. I wouldn’t say I always knew I was going to make it. I’ve always wanted to play at a high level. You’re always reaching for that goal.

I knew I had the game starting last year to at least compete and stay out there a little bit, but I never really capitalized when I had the opportunity. At any level – at the NFL Combine, the NCAA Tournament – you only have certain windows where you can get to the next level. This (season), I kind of overcame that hurdle and when I had the opportunity I was able to capitalize. Getting to the PGA Tour is kind of the same deal. You have to play well or you have to win or you have to do something in the playoffs at the end of the year to try and kickstart your way onto the PGA Tour.

‘Q’ School is a long week but I would say it’s not as intense as some people make it out to be – as long as you’re prepared. If you’re not prepared, I’m sure there’s going to be stories that it’s an unbelievable week and that you’re under the most pressure you’ve ever been under in your life. But fortunately, I wasn’t under that much pressure.

It was definitely a long week – six days of golf is a lot, but it was a great learning experience that I can take on into future tournaments.

Getting my tour card was kind of like getting a monkey off my back. You’re one step closer to where you dream of being – and that’s the PGA Tour. Now, the key is obviously to keep it going and continue working hard because you can’t really settle for the Web.com Tour. It’s a nice place to be and a lot of people are trying to get there. But it’s not the ultimate goal. I’m looking forward to going to new places and gathering new experiences, playing in bigger tournaments and playing against better players. I don’t feel like you can ever have enough of just getting better. That’s what’s been motivating me.

8SPORTS SHORTS Gold wins U.S. figure skating title; Wagner 4th BOSTON – Gracie Gold won her first U.S. figure skating title Saturday night and all but guaranteed herself a spot at the Olympics.

Still to be decided is who joins her in Sochi after twotime defending champ Ashley Wagner finished a distant fourth after a mistake-marred

free skate.

Fifteen-year-old Polina Edmunds was second, and 2010 Olympian Mirai Nagasu was third in a resurgent performance. U.S. Figure Skating officials will announce Sunday which three women go to the Winter Games, taking into account past performances.

They will have a lot to think about.

Gold wasn’t perfect, but she

didn’t need to be after building a big lead in the short program.

When she finished, she buried her face in her hands. She had 211.69 points to beat Edmunds by more than 18.

Chris Kirk moves into the lead at Sony Open HONOLULU – A birdie on the final hole gave Chris Kirk the outright lead in the Sony Open, and that’s about it.

Cloudy conditions and only a mild breeze meant just about everyone had a chance at Waialae Country Club. At one point there was a six-way tie for the lead, and 14 players were separated by only one shot.

Kirk had a 65, giving him a one-shot lead over Harris English and PGA Tour rookie Will Wilcox. A dozen players are separated by three shots going

into the final round, a group that includes Kapalua winner Zach Johnson.

Masters champion Adam Scott fell back with a 71 and was six shots behind.

Fleetwood leads Volvo Golf Championship DURBAN, South Africa – England’s Tommy Fleetwood birdied the last hole for 3-under 69 and a one-stroke lead

after the third round of the Volvo Golf Champions.

Fleetwood had a 110-under 206 total at Durban Country Club.

France’s Victor Dubuisson (69) and Dutchman Joost Luiten (70) were tied for second.

Defending champion Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa was 8-under after a 71.

NFC: SEAHAWKS 23, SAINTS 15

Sunday, January 12, 2014 • Page C3

AFC: PATRIOTS 43, COLTS 22

Seattle rumbles Pats’ Blount rushes for 4 TDs past New Orleans New England in AFC title game for 3rd straight year

By TIM BOOTH The Associated Press SEATTLE – When he got around the edge, there was no one for Marshawn Lynch to hit. Directly ahead was open field, the end zone and the Seattle Seahawks’ place in the NFC Championship Game.

Once again, Lynch overpowered the New Orleans Saints in the postseason.

“That was maybe ‘Beast Mode II.’ I don’t know but it was a very cool way to end that game and give us the score that we needed,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.

Lynch carried 28 times for 140 yards and two touchdowns and Seattle’s defense flustered Drew Brees and New Orleans in a 23-15 victory Saturday in an NFC divisional playoff game.

“You just don’t know how many more opportunities you’re going to have,” Brees said. “That’s what makes it so tough standing up here and talking about it.”

Steven Hauschka added three field goals in blustery conditions and the top-seeded Seahawks advanced to the NFC title game for the second time.

They will host San Francisco or Carolina next Sunday after last reaching the conference title game in the 2005 playoffs.

Seattle shut out the Saints in the first half, got Lynch’s first 100-yard game since Week 10 of the regular season and received a spark from the brief return of Percy Harvin before he left with a concussion. Lynch scored on a 15-yard run in the first half and capped the victory with a 31-yard scoring run with 2:40 left that Carroll celebrated by jumping into offensive line coach Tom Cable’s arms.

Although the clinching score lacked the stunning explosiveness of Lynch’s “Beast Quake” touchdown run

Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate celebrates after Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints in Seattle. The Seahawks won, 23-15. against the Saints in the 2010 playoffs, this one was more important. It ensured Seattle would not be the latest No. 1 seed to get upset by a No. 6 seed in the divisional round.

Lynch’s clinching TD was similar to that 2010 play.

Lynch read the blocking perfectly and cut to the outside using two blocks from tight end Zach Miller and Jermaine Kearse. Lynch’s only contact was a stiff-arm of Keenan Lewis that allowed him free passage to the end zone and left CenturyLink Field swaying.

“It’s all want with him,” Seattle receiver Golden Tate said.

“He’s blessed with tremendous athleticism and body control and power. But right there he wanted that. He just wanted it and he went and got it.”

Lynch set a franchise playoff record for yards rushing.

His running made up for another shaky day passing by Russell Wilson.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – LeGarrette Blount ran the Patriots into their third straight AFC Championship Game.

The 250-pound back had four touchdown runs and New England kept Andrew Luck from a second straight comeback victory, beating the Indianapolis Colts, 43-22, on Saturday night.

Blount scored on three 2-yard runs in the first half, then burst through the right side of the line and rambled 73 yards into the end zone, where he placed the ball gently on the ground made soggy by a game-long rain. He finished with 166 yards on 24 carries.

On the next series, Luck threw his third interception and the Patriots capitalized with Stevan Ridley’s second touchdown run, a 1-yarder

AP photo

New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount dives into the end zone for a touchdown during the first half of an AFC divisional playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday in Foxborough, Mass. The Patriots won, 43-22. that finished the scoring with 11:12 left.

The Patriots (13-4) will face the winner of the game Sunday between the Broncos and Chargers. It will be in Denver if the Broncos win, and New England will host it if the Chargers win.

The Colts (12-6) never led.

“It’s just a great achievement,” Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said. “People have counted us out at times this year, but I think we’ve got a

locker room full of believers.”

Blount joined Ricky Watters, who had five touchdowns for San Francisco on Jan. 15, 1994, as the only players with four or more in a playoff game. And the six rushing touchdowns by the Patriots tied the 49ers’ total in that game for second most in playoff history.

Blount’s big rushing performance came two weeks after he ran for 189 yards and returned

two kickoffs for 145 yards in a 34-20 victory over Buffalo in the regular-season finale.

“He’s got that combination of size, power and quickness and speed,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “He can run hard. He can make guys miss and he can go the distance.”

Billed as a matchup between quarterbacks – long-time great Brady and second-year star Luck – the Patriots’ leader was content to hand off while Luck threw an interception on his second pass and never found consistency. He threw two touchdown passes to LaVon Brazill but also threw four interceptions.

Luck had three interceptions a week earlier but led the Colts from a 38-10 deficit early in the third quarter to a 45-44 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in a wild-card game.

The Colts trailed 21-12 at halftime against the Patriots and cut it to 29-22 on a 35-yard pass to Brazill with 5:01 left in the third. The Patriots dominated the rest of the way.

Blount’s first touchdown came on New England’s first offensive play after Alfonzo Dennard intercepted Luck’s pass and returned it 27 yards to the 2.

Peppers’ time as a dominant player might be over • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Peppers is paid to have 13-3 years, not 8-8 years. But Emery was careful to point out that an “8-8 year” did not mean that Peppers had become an average player.

“I didn’t say he was an 8-8 defensive end,” Emery said.

“I said he had an 8-8 season, to correct that. That’s a whole lot different.

“Obviously, Julius had a lot of good games like a lot of our players, and he had

games that he would want back, and I think Julius would say that, too. We will work through each and every player on our squad and to determine where we’re going with him in the future, and that process is going to take time.”

Peppers’ time as a dominant player might have run out.

Twelve years ago, he entered the NFL as a 22-year-old and registered a dozen sacks as a rookie with the Carolina Panthers. He enjoyed eight seasons with double-digit

sacks between 2002 and 2012, adding 37 forced fumbles during that span.

But Peppers’ production plunged in 2013. He finished the season with 7½ sacks and two forced fumbles, and his 19 quarterback pressures were only one more than embattled teammate Shea McClellin, whose future likely is at another position.

In training camp, Peppers insisted that his age was a nonstory. He was excited about the Bears’ chances to win. He said he didn’t feel like he was getting older.

“No. Not at all,” Peppers said. “I’m serious, I don’t. I feel like I’m 25.

“Age is just a number that gets put on players. It’s real, but it’s really in your heart and your mind how you feel.

I feel young in those places, and I think it’s showing.”

And then he had an 8-8 season.

And now he’s turning 34.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 48, WOODSTOCK 37

Tigers shake off rust in 2nd half of victory Hold Blue Streaks to only 4 points in the 3rd quarter

By MAUREEN LYNCH sportsdesk@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – For the past few weeks, Crystal Lake Central’s girls basketball team has played games and held practices only sporadically.

Like so many teams with long lulls in action, the Tigers’ defense has react-

ed accordingly.

It was with that slight rust that Central began its game Saturday against Fox Valley Conference Fox Division foe Woodstock. But all the Tigers needed to polish up their defensive game was an awareness that their feet were moving slower than necessary.

As soon as Central found its energy, the Blue Streaks could not counter.

After shooting their way through the first half, the Tigers scrapped their way through the second to secure a 49-37 victory against Woodstock.

“The defense really was key,” Central coach Paul Lichtenheld said.

“The defense really wasn’t where it

needed to be in the first half. We talked about that at halftime and made some adjustments, but we have to be ready to go. It’s a weird time coming off a long break and having finals and things. You’re trying to keep things light, but at the same time we have to be prepared.”

The Tigers (9-8 overall, 3-2 FVC Fox) led by five, 26-21, at halftime, thanks in part to Kelsey Schmitt’s hot hand behind the arc and three late second-quarter free throws – products of two Woodstock technical fouls that stole some of the Streaks’ momentum. Central capitalized right away in the third, rattling off 13

points, including two more 3-pointers from Schmitt (game-high 20 points) and seven points from forward Shannon Ellman (16 points).

Central’s defense stymied Woodstock, forcing the Streaks to settle for only four points – all from sophomore guard Brecken Overly (team-high 12 points) – in the third quarter.

“They came out strong on defense early, so we knew we needed to come out stronger,” Schmitt said. “I felt like we did that in the second half.”

“We started helping more on defense and on screens,” Ellman added. “And we needed to know where [Woodstock center Dakota Brand]

was because she can hurt you.”

Having a limited post presence didn’t help Woodstock. Brand had to play strategically with four fouls, and the Tigers’ defense didn’t give the Streaks many chances outside.

Woodstock scored 12 in the fourth quarter – its best effort of the game – but couldn’t catch up.

“I thought we came out fired up and ready to play, but we missed our inside game,” Woodstock coach Marty Hammond said. “Brecken did a great job outside and Selena (Juarez) had one of her best offensive games (with 11 points) … but we just didn’t give enough when we needed to.”

PR co-op loses star in defeat

Barnett rests after dizzy spell Marengo wins 15-team IMSA Tournament

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – Three falls on the balance beam ultimately did not matter.

Neither did coming up short against defending state champion Lyons Township.

What really weighed on the mind of Prairie Ridge’s co-op gymnastics team was the injury to Riley Mahoney that occurred early in Saturday’s inaugural Robin Straus Gymnastics Invitational at Lake Forest’s East Campus.

Mahoney injured her right knee on the third tumbling pass during her floor exercise routine, which was Riley Mahoney the Wolves’ first event.

Although Prairie Ridge still had some strong performances, the athletes could not help but think about long-term prospects for a team that could win a state title.

“It put us under a lot Rachael of pressure and, in some Underwood way, it was too much pressure and we started to crumble a little bit,” said Rachael Underwood, who won the vault and uneven bars and placed second in the all-around. “We hope to get her back for state. She helps us a lot.”

Mahoney, with ice on her knee, left the meet early with her parents (Pat and Tracy) to go to the hospital for examination. Wolves coach Lee Battaglia thought the injury might be similar to one Mahoney suffered three weeks previous when her kneecap popped in and out of place on a landing.

“It’s very, very loose with the ligaments and stuff,” Battaglia said.

“There’s really nothing you can do other than resting it. She nailed the double pike (flip on the first tumbling pass).

She’s practiced great. She looked so good.”

Lyons won the meet with 150.45 points, while Prairie Ridge scored 146.075 without Mahoney. Underwood won the vault (9.85), the uneven bars (9.7) and was third in floor exercise (9.6).

She placed third all-around at 37.75 after two falls on the balance beam.

“I was doing pretty well; I was pretty consistent,” said Underwood, who was celebrating her 17th birthday with several family members and friends at the meet. “I let it slip away from my fingers (on beam). Better to happen now than at state or regional or sectional.”

Prairie Ridge sophomore Maddie Solka was fourth in all-around (37.6) and second on floor exercise (9.65) and fourth on bars (9.4).

“I tried to use positive energy,” Solka said. “On beam, I thought I was done, and I just had the fall. It’s not the end of the world. We were all pretty pumped up, we were looking forward to some good competition, especially Lyons. We started off pretty happy, then it was …”

Battaglia told Mahoney to leave with her parents and get the knee checked by a doctor. She was visibly upset as she left the gym.

Prairie Ridge, which draws athletes from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central and Prairie Ridge, was state team runner-up last year and placed third in 2012. The Wolves have an even deeper team this year and hoped to compete for the state title.

Now, they are just hoping one of their stars can return by the time regional meets are held in early February.

“Now, it’s a downer,” Battaglia said.

“We definitely need [Mahoney]. Her and Rachael are the two powers with their scores. There’s no way we can beat Lyons without Riley. No way.”

Hampshire boys basketball coach Bob Barnett has grown acutely aware of warning signs and pays heed when they develop.

When Barnett, 52, experienced dizziness at school Friday, he did not mess around.

He called his heart doctor, took a test over the phone and eventually called it a day, even though the Whip-Purs had a home game Friday night against Grayslake North.

Barnett suffered two heart attacks Nov. 20, 2012, the day of the season opener. Medical personnel discovered Barnett had a crack on the anterior wall of his heart. He returned Dec. 12 and finished the season with the Whips, who had one of their best seasons in school history and shared the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division championship with Crystal Lake Central.

Hampshire won, 64-60, on Friday night with sophomore coach Todd Severns taking over for the night. The win put

the Whips at 6-9 overall, 2-1 in the FVC Fox. “I’ve had a heart monitor on all summer,” Barnett said.

“I’ve had some dizzy spells from time to time. The blood pools in my legs and sometimes when I stand up too quickly it doesn’t get to my upper body fast enough. I was dizzy in third period so I got my heart doctor’s nurse and took the test. I got 12 hours of sleep yesterday and feel good.”

Barnett was not sure what the problem was Friday, he just knew he needed to take caution.

“I can tell when something’s coming on,” he said. “It was worse yesterday than it’s been. There was no way I could coach. I’ve learned my lesson, when I feel something, it’s a sign. I’ll be back Monday.”

Barnett, who was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame last year, plans to be back on the bench for Tuesday’s home game with Sycamore. He went to school Saturday morning and watched video of Friday’s game.

ROUNDUP

Severns, who was Woodstock’s coach in 2003 and 2004, coached the sophomore and varsity games Friday. He is new on Barnett’s staff this season.

“The kids played well and were well-prepared,” Severns said. “But that’s all Bob. He’s a Hall of Fame coach and they’re so well-prepared. I just kind of put it on cruise control. I just tried not to screw it up.

“I had a lot of fun. It just shows what a great job Bob does. I’m very happy for the kids.”

Severns appreciated a moment in the second half when team leader Ryan Cork, a senior guard averaging 17.2 points a game, asked to call timeout and helped draw up a play.

“I didn’t mind that at all,” Severns said. “They know what they’re doing. He diagrammed a play and the kids responded.”

Barnett called having Severns on staff a blessing.

“Todd did a great job,” Barnett said. “What he did coaching two games was above and beyond.”

Crystal Lake South junior Maggie Cronin dribbles the ball upcourt during the third quarter of Saturday’s game against Cary-Grove in Cary. Crystal Lake South won, 55-49.

Mickow scores 18 points, grabs 16 boards • GATORS-TROJANS Continued from page C1 it a three-point game with 30 seconds left in overtime, but South senior guard Rachel Rasmussen delivered the dagger with a 3-pointer of her own for the final points of the game.

The Trojans were limited to 11 points in the first half, but after a halftime adjustment with an emphasis on attacking the elbow at the free throw line, they outscored South 33-

22 in the second half.

“Effort-wise, from start to finish, that was the best effort we’ve given all year,” C-G coach Rod Saffert said. “We had our opportunities. We felt OK at halftime.

“Once they started to play within themselves, we started to attack the interior a little more.”

A short bench has become the norm for South. McCaughn used a six-man rotation, which led to major minutes for the starters. It didn’t seem to faze

the Gators most of the game.

Senior forward Sara Mickow played all but one of the 36 minutes and finished with 18 points and 16 rebounds. Rasmussen also finished in double digits, scoring 10 points including two 3-pointers.

“We had to stay mentally strong,” Mickow said. “We knew they were going to come out and had momentum in the end there, so I think we were looking for that to happen (in overtime) and pushed through it and kept our heads cool.”

Pait, Duh, Sikula give McHenry a boost • WRESTLING Continued from page C1 “I don’t want to come up short again this year,” Hernandez said. “Every match, there was just something in my head, I was ready to go every match. I didn’t look past anybody.”

McHenry was the highest finisher of the five McHenry County teams in the meet, bolstered by a third-place finish from 160-pounder Cam Pait and fourth-place finishes from 120-pounder Robby Duh and 113-pounder Britches Sikula.

“I thought our kids came out and wrestled aggressively,” Gaddy said. “I’m really pleased with the way everybody wrestled. We only had one wrestler not score points.”

Led by a second-place finish from 138-pounder Brandon Meyer, Huntley finished behind the Warriors in fifth. The unranked junior said his expectations were relatively low heading into the day, but his confidence has taken a boost after a high finish in a strong field.

“I didn’t think I would’ve done as well as I did,” Meyer said. “I was seeing that if I can beat these kids that are on the state rankings, I could just keep going.”

Cary-Grove was led by fourth-place finishes from 170-pounder Josh Dermont and 152-pounder Matt Hughes to finish 13th, and Marengo finished 15th behind 182-pounder Matt Pandocchi’s third-place performance. Cody Barnes fin-

ished third in the 220-pound division for 23rd place Woodstock North, and 182-pounder Anton Krocko finished fourth for Hampshire, which finished 24th.

Ricky Vigil finished third at 126-pounds and Dominic Swanson was fourth at 220 for Huntley, which made the biggest leap over the last year by any area team after finishing 14th in 2013. Coach BJ Bertelsman didn’t have to go back a year to measure his team’s vast improvement.

“We beat Jacobs on Thursday, but to us that was a loss,” Bertelsman said. “We responded well today. ... They came in here and wrestled tough.

A lot of kids that sucked it up on Thursday did a great job today.”

Canadiens edge Hawks in OT

Bulls forward Taj Gibson dunks the ball over Charlotte Bobcats center Bismack Biyombo on Saturday at the United Center.

BULLS 103, BOBCATS 97

Bulls win 5th straight game

MONTREAL – His stick helplessly far away, stranded in the corner of the rink, Corey Crawford stood in the crease and braced for an onrushing – and shorthanded – Brandon Prust late in the second period Saturday night.

But Prust flubbed the breakaway, which left Crawford off balance and merely able to shove the puck a bit with his blocker before falling prone on his side.

In came Lars Eller to clean up the mess into the yawning net – only to see Crawford kick out his left foot, his skate getting just enough of the puck to send it away at a 90-degree angle, to the gasps of the 20,000-plus at Bell Centre.

It was a preposterous save, one of the best of Crawford’s career. And it came in his hometown. Against the team he grew up idolizing.

Directly beneath the banner honoring his boyhood hero, Patrick Roy. And it still wasn’t enough.

Crawford got the Hawks a point with a sensational 36-save performance, but couldn’t singlehandedly give them a win in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Canadiens. Andrei Markov scored his third goal of the game at 1:28 of overtime to clinch it for Montreal.

By JOE COWLEY CHICAGO – Forget the NBA being a business, this was personal.

All-Star center Joakim Noah broke a five-day silence to make that clear after a 10397 victory by the Bulls against the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night at the United Center.

Although Noah wasn’t pointing fingers at his organization for trading Luol Deng to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he wasn’t thrilled with the decision.

“So I feel like Lu was the same way. It was hard for me to digest, but that’s just my perspective, that’s my side of the story. Everyone has a different job, I’m not mad at anybody, I’m not mad at the organization or anything like that. It’s just that my brother isn’t here anymore. I just needed a little bit of time to digest that.”

Maybe, but digesting the opposition sure hasn’t been a problem for Noah, who seems to be on a crusade to prove everyone wrong since Deng was traded.

The victory against the Bobcats was the latest example, as the Bulls (17-18) won their fifth in a row and third since Deng was shipped out, and Noah again was a big reason why, scoring 19 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. Bigger yet, he scored 13 in the final quarter, crushing the visitors whenever they seemed to be building momentum.

But that still didn’t mean he had to understand manage-

ment’s perspective to move Deng.

“They see the game differently than out there on the court,’’ Noah said. “They’re not on the court, they’re not on the plane. They don’t know how much Lu meant to me personally. But like I said, I’m not mad at anybody.

“The games keep coming.

We’re just going to give it everything we’ve got. There’s no tanking, anything like that.

We’re going to give 150 percent, and when people in Chicago say Chicago Bulls, I want [them] to be proud of that.

Even if there are four guys hurt, four guys out, we’re going to give 150 percent win or lose. I know people in this city are proud of that.’’

This has been a season in which the Bulls were picked to challenge the Miami Heat for Eastern Conference supremacy, only to lose Derrick Rose for the season after 10 games, as well as have a training room full of players in and out on a game-to-game basis.

Then came the Deng trade, and Noah’s silence. He has spoken to management, but that still didn’t ease the hurt.

“Trading Lu is something I won’t understand,’’ Noah said. “But I have to live with it.’’

And what the rest of the Bulls have to live with is more rumors. The latest was a report out of New York that coach Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks are going to become a match next season.

“That stuff is ridiculous,’’ Thibodeau said. “First I was being traded … I couldn’t care less about that stuff.’’

It was the fifth time in their past six games that the Hawks – the highest-scoring team in the league – scored two goals or fewer, as they fell to 1-2-2 in 2014.

The Hawks spent the ramp-up to the game talking about snapping out of their recent funk, and breaking

their trend of starting off slow.

“We just haven’t started games right,” Michal Handzus said earlier in the day.

“We didn’t play the right way. I don’t know if it’s just expecting easy games, or what. I don’t know what it is.

isn’t what we need.”

But it was more of the same in this one. Halfway through the second period, the Hawks had a mere eight shots on goal, then found themselves trailing 1-0 on Andrei Markov’s goal through a George Parros screen at 12:54 of the second. They did manage to kill three early penalties, including overlapping ones in the first – they’ve allowed just four power-play goals in their past 12 games, a definite bright spot – but gained little momentum from them.

Instead, they left it to Crawford to bail them out.

And other than the Markov goal, he did. He was by far the best Hawks player in the first period, then made his spectacular stickless stop in the second, and robbed Prust again with a flashy glove save early in the third. He also stopped a Tomas Plekanec breakaway in overtime.

The Hawks finally found an offensive spark in the third. First, they had a goal waved off because Handzus was in the crease, interfering with Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. Then, midway through the period, Jonathan Toews delivered a perfect centering pass to Marian Hossa, who chipped the puck past Price to tie the score at 1, and eventually send it to overtime.

NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez was dealt the most severe punishment in the history of baseball’s drug agreement when an arbitrator ruled the New York Yankees third baseman is suspended for the entire 2014 season as a result of a drug investigation by Major League Baseball.

The decision by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz on Saturday cut the suspension issued Aug. 5 by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig from 211 games to this year’s entire 162-game regular-season schedule plus any postseason games. The threetime American League Most Valuable Player will lose just more than $22 million of his $25 million salary.

Rodriguez vowed to con-

tinue his fight in federal court to reverse the decision.

“It’s virtually impossible.

The arbitration will stand.

I think it’s almost inconceivable that a federal court would overturn it,” said former baseball comm i s s i o n e r Alex Fay Vincent, Rodriguez a graduate of Yale Law School. “The arbitration is itself an appeal from the commissioner’s judgment. How many appeals do you go?”

Rodriguez is the most high-profile player ensnared by baseball’s drug rules, which were first agreed to in 2002 as management and union attempted to combat steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.

In sustaining more than three-quarters of Selig’s initial penalty, Horowitz’s decision will be widely viewed as a victory for the 79-year-old Selig, who has ruled baseball since 1992 and says he intends to retire in January 2015.

A 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez has been baseball’s highest-paid player under a $275 million, 10-year contract. He has spent parts of the past six seasons on the disabled list and will be 39 years old when he is eligible to return to the field in 2015. He is signed with the Yankees through the 2017 season.

Rodriguez admitted five years ago he used performance-enhancing drugs while with Texas from 200103 but has denied using them since. He already sued MLB and Selig in October, claim-

ing they are engaged in a “witch hunt” against him.

“The number of games sadly comes as no surprise, as the deck has been stacked against me from day one,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “This is one man’s decision, that was not put before a fair and impartial jury, does not involve me having failed a single drug test, is at odds with the facts and is inconsistent with the terms of the Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement, and relies on testimony and documents that would never have been allowed in any court in the United States because they are false and wholly unreliable.”

The Major League Baseball Players Association had filed a grievance last summer saying the discipline was without “just cause.”

EXTERIOR HOME EXPERTS

Shaw Media file photo Tim Jennings (left) and Major Wright As bad as the Bears’ defense played, it can’t really be pinned on the cornerbacks. Tim Jennings was the most consistent player on the bad defense, collecting four interceptions, 13 passes defensed and three forced fumbles. When Charles Tillman was out, Jennings elevated his play against some of the league’s top receivers, helping shut down Dez Bryant and Josh Gordon. His strong season earned him a four-year contract.

Tillman – when healthy – was playing at a Pro Bowl level, but his season ended with a torn triceps. He had three interceptions and three forced fumbles before going down, but played hurt for most of the season.

Tillman’s replacement, Zack Bowman, performed well, picking up three interceptions. In his first significant time starting since ’09, Bowman made sure there was not too noticeable a dropoff from “Peanut.”

In his first season, Isaiah Frey played every game in the slot, but he wasn’t too productive. Frey had zero passes defensed, but has potential and received important game experience.

The cornerbacks were the most positive position on an ugly Bears defense, but couldn’t make enough stops, especially on third down, to make up for the run defense.

2013 grade: B Contract situation Jennings was clearly priority No. 1 on ‘D’ for GM Phil Emery.

Next may be deciding Tillman’s fate.

For one thing, the Bears need to make sure Tillman is healthy and decide if they can afford to keep the two-time Pro Bowler.

Tillman turns 33 in February and can’t expect to break the bank – big money has not come for cornerbacks in the past year. Jennings’ deal would have been one of the most lucrative ones for a corner last offseason.

Durability is a concern, certainly, but Tillman is still an impact player.

The other factor is Bowman, who is also up. He put together a nice audition filling in for Tillman, but can’t expect big money, or anything longterm. Kelvin Hayden missed the entire season with a hamstring injury suffered in training camp and should come cheap if the Bears choose to bring back the veteran next year. Specialteamer Sherrick McManis has an expiring contract as well.

2014 needs This may be a position where Emery attempts to bring everyone back. There aren’t many attractive names at corner in free agency, like there are at safety, and with a lot of money thrown at Jennings, it wouldn’t be too prudent to bring in a veteran on another big contract.

Some teams think cornerback is a position worth addressing in the draft every year, and with the nickel defense and three corners on the field for around 50 percent of the time, the more quality corners, the better. If Tillman is not re-signed, the Bears would want to find someone who has a similar skill set – or one who can be groomed – which is a physical corner with great ball skills.

With Frey likely set as the nickel corner next year, the need is mainly on finding depth at the boundary corner spot.

• Replacement Windows • Vinyl Siding • James Hardie Siding • Roofing • Gutter Shutter • Much More No position struggled more than safety for the Bears in 2013. Some thought that Chris Conte and Major Wright had finally brought stability to the position by the way they played in 2012, but this past season was ugly.

By Pro Football Focus’ metrics, Wright was the 86th and lastranked safety in the league, while Conte was 82nd. They ranked as the bottom two safeties in run defense. Poor angles defending the run and getting to the deep ball plagued Conte, while Wright missed tackles and struggled in coverage.

Yes, the pair did combine for five interceptions, 10 passes defensed and three forced fumbles. They were also durable – Conte missed only 13 snaps all season and Wright played almost every snap in his 15 games (he missed one with a hamstring injury). Those bright spots, however, did not outweigh the difficulties.

Craig Steltz played very well in his one game, leading the Bears in tackles against the Vikings. Otherwise, the veteran maintained his spot on special teams. For all the cries that Steltz should have started, the Bears’ coaches had ample opportunities to put him in for Wright or Conte, but they did not. Still, he’s a valuable player on special teams.

2013 grade: D 2014 contract situation Wright has reached the end of his rookie contract and is set to hit free agency March 11. It’s safe to say Wright probably isn’t high on the Bears’ priority list. He made a few big plays, but is likely going to hit the free-agent market.

Conte is entering the final year of his deal. Conte has the athletic abilities to be a quality NFL safety, and maybe just needs an offseason to get back in form. Assuming he’s back, he’ll certainly see competition to start.

Steltz is up for a new contract, and the Bears could bring him back on a minimum deal for special-teams purposes. Anthony Walters is a restricted free agent, but should be back for camp. The Bears also have Sean Cattouse to try and develop; he spent most of 2013 on the practice squad.

2014 needs It’s very likely GM Phil Emery is seeking two starters. Maybe Conte comes to camp, wins back his starting job, or he could be cut. This is a prime position to AP photo “double down” and address in both free agency and the draft. The free-agent Chris Conte class is strong, with several young, playmaking safeties hitting the market. On the other hand, it’s rare to find blue-chip safeties in the draft, but the Bears should be able to find a solid player in the middle rounds.

The best safety combo has a strong safety who can come in the box and stoutly defend the run while also showing the speed and coverage skills to stick with a tight end.

An ideal free safety is a ball hawk who plays center field to make plays on the ball. He can also be a blitzer and man up against receivers or tight ends.

The Bears hoped to get those skill sets from Wright and Conte in 2013, but it didn’t happen, and now there could be a new pair back there in 2014.

305 VIRGINIA (Rt. 14) Matt Forte was born to play running back in Marc Trestman’s offense and he proved it this past season with the best performance of his career.

Forte carried the ball from scrimmage 289 times, second only to his 316 attempts his rookie year. He also totaled a career–best 1,339 yards and nine touchdowns.

What makes him so perfect for what Trestman wants to do is that Forte also had a career-best 74 receptions for another 594 yards – also a career high – and three more touchdowns.

The 12 scores tie his career best, also established in his 2008 rookie season.

Forte joins LeSean McCoy as a Pro Bowl starter.

Inexplicable backup Michael Bush had arguably his worst season in the NFL. Bush had only 63 carries, a 34 percent decline off his 95 carries in 2012 and he managed only 197 yards for a 3.1 average and three touchdowns.

If you take out Bush’s long run of 40 yards, he averaged only 2.5 yards on his other 62 carries, and he failed repeatedly in third-andshort, and fourth-and-short situations.

Compared to the 421 yards and 4.4 average Bush put up in 2012, 2013 was a bust.

Michael Ford, an undrafted rookie free agent, saw some special teams action but did not get a carry from scrimmage.

Tony Fiammetta was a blocking fullback who didn’t carry the ball from scrimmage but caught four passes for 57 yards and did a nice job clearing paths for Forte.

GRADE By any measure, Forte deserves an A. But

Do you rate the performance of Bears quarterbacks in 2013 against the rest of the NFL, or against the established norm for the Bears at the position?

Either way, you have to be pleased. Individually, both Jay Cutler and Josh McCown had the best years of their careers. Cumulatively it was the best performance at quarterback in the history of the franchise.

Over 16 games, Cutler and McCown combined for 373 completions and a 64.4 completion percentage for 4,450 yards, 32 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and a 96.9 passer rating. The completion percentage, passing yards and touchdowns would all be single season Bears records and the 96.9 rating is first with an asterisk, second to the 97.8 rating of Jim McMahon in the nine games he played in 1984.

Cutler’s 89.2 passer rating is the best of his career, besting the 88.1 he had in 2007.

McCown had career bests in almost every category and his 109.0 passer rating dwarfed his second-best season, in which he rated 74.9 in 2005 in Arizona.

It is important to note that McCown started just five games and played extensively in a sixth in Washington and the Bears were just 3-3 in those games.

Jordan Palmer was a veteran No. 3 who never saw the field.

we’re not grading him alone. The idea here is to rate the Bears running backs and running game, and as good as Forte was, the Bears finished just 16th in the NFL in rushing but were seventh in average yards per carry.

We have to give the running backs/running game a B+, held back only by Bush’s off year and the lack of a commitment to running in the gameplan.

CONTRACT SITUATIONS Forte, Bush, Ford and Fiammetta are all signed through the 2015 season, but salary cap issues loom. Forte’s 2014 cap hit will be $7.5 million and Bush will dent the cap by $3.85 million. Fiammetta is scheduled to make just $745,000 with nothing guaranteed, so he will most likely be back, and Ford is a bottom of the roster guy who will again have to earn a spot in training camp.

Forte will be back, most likely under his existing deal, or the Bears may attempt to add a year or two to lessen his cap hit.

With all of the Bears needs on defense, Bush is most likely gone to free nearly $4 million of cap space.

2014 NEEDS If Bush is gone, look for the Bears to either find a young veteran in free agency or draft a player who is a between the tackles runner to specialize in short yardage.

Beyond that, there is no reason to expect anything other than another stellar year from Forte.

GRADE

As Bears quarterbacks go, the season would appear to be an A+. But the Bears don’t play themselves. Against

SILVERADO 1500

the rest of the league, Cutler’s and McCown’s performances were still very good, but a couple grades below Nick Foles and Peyton Manning, and at least a full grade behind Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Russell Wilson.

You’d also love to see Cutler cut back on his interceptions and McCown have the points to match the big passing numbers in the Rams and Vikings games. Give them a B+ for the season.

CONTRACT SITUATIONS Certainly, you know by now, Cutler has been re-signed for $126 million over seven years, $54 million of it guaranteed over the next three seasons. Like it or not, or stay neutral until he provides more evidence of the wisdom of the move, Cutler is the man for the next three seasons.

McCown is an unrestricted free agent the Bears would love to re-sign. He performed well last year, has value in the locker room and Cutler has an injury history. But he will be one of

the most expensive backups in the league and the Bears are tight on cap space with all the work they have to do on defense.

Palmer is also an unrestricted free agent.

If the Bears can’t re-sign McCown, they have to resign Palmer. But if McCown is back, Palmer won’t be.

Either way, the Bears should draft a quarterback for Marc Trestman to develop in the background.

McCown is not a long–range answer. Cutler gets hurt, and even if Cutler stays healthy there is no guarantee he will earn the faith the Bears have put in him.

MEN’S BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

James Franklin answers questions from reporters after he was introduced as Penn State’s new football coach Saturday during a news conference in State College, Pa.

PENN STATE FOOTBALL

Passionate, proud Franklin takes over Penn State football

By WILL GRAVES The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – James Franklin grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs, a strong-willed if not exactly strong-armed high school quarterback who believed he was good enough to play at Penn State.

Joe Paterno’s coaching staff didn’t exactly agree, and although Franklin’s arm led to him a decorated career at Division II East Stroudsburg (Pa.), his will led him to the place he wanted to be all along.

Home.

More than two decades after a futile attempt to draw Penn State’s attention as a player, the university hired the charismatic 41-yearold as its next head coach Saturday.

“I’m a Pennsylvania boy,” Franklin said, “with a Penn State heart.”

One charged with continuing the painstaking and sometimes painful rebuilding process started by Bill O’Brien,

who took over in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal more than two years ago.

But O’Brien bolted for the NFL’s Houston Texans on New Year’s Eve, opening the door for Franklin, who breathed life into a moribund program at Vanderbilt, winning 24 games over three seasons and leading the Commodores to three straight bowl games.

More will be expected here – eventually. That’s fine

by Franklin, who insists he didn’t sign the six-year contract reportedly worth around $4.5 million a season to use the Nittany Lions as a stepping stone.

Franklin littered his hourlong introduction with all the right touches. Wearing a blue suit with a blue-and-white tie, he called Penn State his “dream job” and dubbed Saturday “the best day of my life” before quickly amending it to the “third best” after his wedding day to his wife Fumi and the birth of their twin daughters Addy and Shola.

Pointing to his family as they watched from the front row, Franklin described himself as having “two daughters and 95 new sons.”

Yet he knows the branches of the family tree run far deeper. He promised to reconnect the glorious past with what he believes is an ambitious future and vowed to have lunch with every provost and dean while pledging not to turn down any speaking engagement.

“We’ll do everything we can to bring this community back together,” he said, “and really take pride in this program.”

A pride still in the process of healing after the shocking revelations about Sandusky’s criminal behavior and the subsequent fallout that included Paterno’s unceremonious firing after 45 years at the helm. Then, there were the near-fatal NCAA sanctions that stripped the program of dozens of scholarships and barred the school from postseason competition for four years.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – C.J. Fair scored 20 points, Jerami Grant had 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, and No. 2 Syracuse beat North Carolina, 57-45, on Saturday in an Atlantic Coast Conference marquee matchup.

Syracuse (16-0, 3-0) evened its all-time record against the North Carolina (10-6, 0-3) to 4-4. UNC started 0-2 in ACC play three times in the past five years and five times overall, and the loss to Syracuse equaled the worst conference start in school history in 1996-97, Dean Smith’s final year as head coach.

It was the fewest points scored by North Carolina since posting 44 in a loss to Duke in 1979.

UNC coach Roy Williams dropped to 1-4 against Syracuse, the most notable setback an 81-78 loss to the Orange for the 2003 national championship in New Orleans when he was coach at Kansas. Syracuse also beat Kansas in the 1996 NCAA tournament by three points (60-57) to reach the Final Four.

No. 5 Michigan St. 87, Minnesota 75 (OT): At East Lansing, Mich., Keith Appling scored 24 points to help Michigan State (15-1, 4-0 Big Ten) beat Minnesota (13-4, 2-2) after overcoming a double-digit deficit in the second half and blowing a lead late in regulation.

No. 7 Baylor 88, TCU 62: At Waco, Texas, Taurean

Prince scored 15 of his career-high 23 points off the bench when Baylor (13-2, 1-1 Big 12) took control before halftime and went on to a victory over in state rival TCU (9-6, 0-3).

No. 8 Villanova 74, St. John’s 67: At New York, JayVaughn Pinkston had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Villanova (15-1, 4-0 Big East) overcame some early shooting woes to beat St. John’s (9-6, 0-3).

Oklahoma 87, No. 9 Iowa St. 82: At Norman, Okla., Buddy Hield scored 22 points and Ryan Spangler added 16 points and a career-high 15 rebounds to help Oklahoma (13-3, 2-1 Big 12) knock off previously unbeaten Iowa State (14-1, 2-1).

No. 10 Florida 84, Arkansas 82 (OT): At Fayetteville, Ark., Dorian Finney-Smith scored a career-high 22 points as Florida (13-2, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) overcame the absence of leading scorer Casey Prather to snap Arkansas’ (11-4, 0-2) 23-game home winning streak.

No. 11 Oklahoma State 73, West Virginia 72: At Morgantown, W.Va., Markel Brown hit a 3-pointer with 12 seconds to lift Oklahoma State (14-2, 2-1 Big 12) to a win over West Virginia (10-6, 2-1).

No. 14 Kentucky 71, Vanderbilt 62: At Nashville, Tenn., Willie Cauley-Stein scored 15 points, and Kentucky (123, 2-0) beat Vanderbilt for the Wildcats’ fourth straight victory.

Clemson 72, No. 16 Duke 59: At Clemson, S.C., K.J. McDaniels scored 24 points and Jaron Blossomgame had career highs with 14 points and 14 rebounds as Clemson (11-4, 2-1) defeated Duke (124, 1-2 ACC), the Blue Devils second straight ACC road loss.

No. 18 Kansas 86, No. 25 Kansas State 60: At Law-

rence, Kan., Andrew Wiggins scored 22 points, fellow freshman Wayne Selden added 20 and Kansas (114, 2-0 Big 12) beat Kansas State (12-4, 2-1) in its latest Sunflower Showdown beatdown.

No. 19 Massachusetts 73, St. Bonaventure 68: At Amherst, Mass., Trey Davis missed nine of his first 10 shots from the floor before scoring a pair of baskets in the closing two minutes to help Massachusetts (14-1 overall, 2-0 Atlantic-10) rally for a win over St. Bonaventure (11-5, 1-1).

No. 21 Missouri 70, Auburn 68: At Auburn, Ala., Earnest Ross hit four free throws down the stretch and Jordan Clarkson scored 20 points to lead Missouri (13-2, 1-1 SEC) to a victory over Auburn (85, 0-2).

No. 24 Memphis 79, Temple 69: At Philadelphia, Shaq Goodwin had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead Memphis to a win over Temple.

Evansville 75, Southern Illinois 69: At Carbondale, D.J. Balentine scored a career-high 33 points, making 6 of 10 3-point attempts, to lead Evansville (8-9, 1-3 mvc) to a win over Southern Illinois.

Carmakers: Driverless cars will need legal framework

MOTIVATION Bob Sandidge & Anne Ward

Brain enzymes may affect work habits Last month, we wrote about the brain enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). The role of COMT is clearing dopamine from the brain area responsible for planning and decision-making. In the 1990s, scientists studying COMT learned the enzyme was really twins. There are two different types of COMT. One type sweeps away dopamine quickly.

The other type clears more slowly – four times more slowly.

Both types of COMT enzyme have survived the evolutionary process and made their way to a brain near you. The way heredity works, you have a 50 percent chance of being the recipient of both types of COMT enzyme, one copy of each type. For those in possession of such a balanced brain, we who live at the edges need your compassion. (We probably also could use your advice, but we’ll never admit it.)

Of the 50 percent of people remaining, 25 percent received two copies of the slow dopamine clearing COMT gene and 25 percent fast COMT. People who receive 100 percent slow COMT genes differ significantly from those on the opposite end of the scale, who receive 100 percent fast COMT genes. Specifically, they respond quite differently in the presence of stress.

Consider the role of the neurotransmitter dopamine. An amazing bit of chemistry, it’s central to motivation, driving us to achieve goals, anticipating the pleasure we’ll receive from our efforts. Its presence boosts ambition and fuels the quest as we chase our desires.

Why would anyone give up a single molecule? Why do we need a dopamine clearing enzyme at all?

Here’s why: Too much dopamine causes overload, leading to anxiety, excess fear and an inability to make use of hard-won experience and learning. For example, students in Taiwan facing an incredibly competitive test that decides if they will get to continue their education (and quality of school), who have all slow dopamine clearing COMT, score 8 percent below those who have 100 percent fast clearing. Not a big deal?

Consider that these students, who excel in the day-to-day classroom, are relegated to an inferior education based on one test. Students with the fast-clearing enzyme, who struggle with homework and have difficulty staying focused during long school days, but to whom the stress of such an important test has little effect, exchange places with their usually focused, high-achieving classmates.

In general, the slow-clearing COMT works to people’s advantage, unless they’re under stress. On the other hand, the fast-clearing enzyme inoculates recipients from the effects of moderate, even severe stress, but steals the ability to work optimally without the influence of stress.

Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman in their book, “Top Dog,” write about the COMT effect on performance. Some 172 pilots with varying levels of training and experience were studied during stressful simulator flights. Through turbulence, severe weather and engine troubles, the pilots were tested. As you might expect, those with the fast COMT gene came through with flying colors, taking on the challenge with focus and determination. The stress carried with it the dopamine they needed to excel.

Engine-less American Airlines jets sit parked at the airport in Roswell. Airlines are on the largest jet buying spree in the history of aviation, ordering more than 8,200 new planes. The old planes are sent to the desert, where the dry air prevents the aluminum airframe from corroding, and spare parts can be harvested or they get chopped up for scrap metal.

Airplane sales soar Airlines go on a record new jet shopping spree

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press ROSWELL, N.M. – Capt.

Paul Wannberg glides an old Boeing 757 over the New Mexico desert, lining up with the runway. A computerized voice squawks elevation warnings. Forty feet. Thirty. Twenty. Ten. Touchdown.

Outside the cockpit window sit nearly a hundred airplane carcasses, perfectly lined up. They are jets that nobody wants anymore. And – after 26,057 takeoffs and landings – this 24-year-old American Airlines plane is about to join them.

“This is my first time here, and it’s a sad place,” First Officer Robert Popp tells the control tower. Airlines used to store planes in the desert during slow travel months. Sometimes, unwanted jets would be sold to carriers in Russia or Africa. Today, a man on the other end of the radio responds, “they’re chopping them up.”

Airlines are on the largest jet-buying spree in the history of aviation, ordering more than 8,200 new planes with manufacturers Airbus SAS and The Boeing Co. in the past five years. There are now a combined 24 planes rolling off assembly lines each week, up from 11 a decade ago. And that rate is expected to keep climbing.

The new planes allow the airlines to save on fuel, now their biggest cost, while offering passengers more amenities – some for a fee. Passengers can plug in to work or be entertained by a seat-back TV and fly some international routes nonstop for the first time. And the commercial divisions of Boeing and Airbus get a steady stream of cash for years, which is a key reason investors have doubled the companies’ stock price in the past year.

AP photo

The interior of an new jet plane is displayed at the American Airlines operations center in Grapevine, Texas.

The bulk of the planes are going to new or quickly growing airlines that serve an expanding middle class in India and the rest of Asia. The International Air Transport Association expects the number of passengers worldwide to grow 31 percent to 3.9 billion in the next four years.

U.S. airlines are buying as well. After suffering through the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, bankruptcies and recessions, they’re now strong enough financially to buy new jets. Domestic carriers spent $11.6 billion last year on capital improvements – including new planes – up from $5.2 billion in 2010.

With the price of fuel nearly 4 times what it was 10 years ago, airlines need to replace aging gas-guzzlers – like the American 757 that Capt. Wannberg parked in the desert in Roswell.

The plane showed its age. Many armrests originally came with ashtrays.

The seatback pocket on 27D was hanging by its last thread. And the window shade at 1F wouldn’t close.

American would have had to spend $6 million to $10 million for heavy maintenance checks on the air-

Instead, it went to Roswell. There, the dry air prevents the aluminum airframe from corroding.

Spare parts will be harvested from the jet; eventually it will be chopped up for scrap metal.

It’s a fate many U.S. planes are facing. On Monday, Delta Air Lines retired the last of its DC-9s, a 35-year-old jet that had been the workhorse of U.S. airlines for decades.

Over the past five years, U.S. airlines have retired nearly 1,300 other planes – more than 20 a month – to various desert facilities, according to Flightglobal’s Ascend Online Fleets,

which sells and tracks information about aircraft.

American’s old 757 will be replaced by one of 460 new single-aisle jets the airline ordered in July 2011 – the largest single airplane order in history. The first one entered service on Sept. 16, and American is taking delivery of an additional new plane every week – models like the A321 from Airbus or the Boeing 737.

Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines and just about every other U.S. carrier has a large order in place. Nearly 1,500 new planes will be delivered to U.S. airlines by Airbus and Boeing over the next decade.

LAS VEGAS – The future of driving is right around the corner.

Hydrogen- and solarpowered vehicles are on the streets. So are cars that can get you through stop-and-go traffic while you sit back and send texts from behind the wheel. Cars are even using radar, ultrasonic waves and cameras to jump into the passing lane and get around slowpokes.

Sure, all of these technologies are still in the testing phase, but that hasn’t stopped carmakers and technology companies from showing off a new paradigm of driving at the International CES gadget show this week. It’s a world in which you no longer grip the wheel with excitement, but instead relax with a book or movie as your car chauffeurs you to your destination.

It’s also a future that won’t materialize, say carmakers, unless legislators around the world create a new legal framework.

One simulation at CES

by Delphi Automotive PLC, a provider of auto parts and technology to major manufacturers including Ford, GM and Volvo, shows the possibilities. The scenario, using a stationary but souped-up Tesla Model S, imagines “autonomous driving lanes,” much like carpool lanes today. The company says vehicles might someday enter these lanes and then run on auto-pilot.

The feat is possible today with a mixture of technology that keeps cars inside lanes and adaptive cruise control that matches a car’s speed to the vehicle in front of it.

While in the autonomous lane, the car’s window glass frosts up and functions that had been disabled for the driver – like video playing from a mini projector – turn on. The driver can pursue other activities, like surfing the Web or even taking a nap.

When the driver’s exit nears, the car gets increasingly persistent, demanding the driver take back control.

First, the video player stops.

Then a female voice intones, “Place both hands on the steering wheel and look ahead in the driving direction.”

Finally, the seat starts vibrating, and a driver-facing camera ensures he or she is looking at the road. The driver taps a steering wheel knob, takes control, and drives on. The experience is similar to airline pilots who grab the controls for take-off and landing but let a computer do the rest.

“These technologies exist now, and the carmakers assure us they’re ready to go,” said Jim Travers, associate editor of autos for Consumer Reports magazine. “It’s really not that far off.”

Overspending isn’t an emergency, it’s time to cut back Dear Dave, My wife and I are working the Baby Steps, and we have our budget in place. Sometimes the budget gets busted because of home improvements and various other things. I think we should take money from our emergency fund when this happens, but she says it should come out of our restaurant and fun money. What do you think?

– Joshua

Dear Joshua, I hate to break this to you, but overspending is not an emergency.

So, I’m siding with your wife on this one. If you budget a set amount in one category and you go over that amount, you’ve got to have something you reduce or cut out completely to stay within your budget

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

never touched the emergency fund for anything except big, unexpected, scary stuff.

– Dave

Dear Dave, for the month.

You’d be surprised at what some people call an “emergency.” But here’s the deal: If something happens on a pretty regular basis, it’s a predictable event. That means you need to budget a larger amount for home improvements or whatever the problem area may be.

Overall, on a month-to-month basis, if you find you have $200 budgeted for car repairs and the repair turns out to be $250, I’d rather you cut back on eating out to make up the difference. That’s the way my wife and I did it back in the day. We

I have a lot of student loan debt, and I can’t afford the payments right now. Should I send them what I can, even if it’s not the minimum payment, or should I not send anything at all?

– Tina

Dear Tina, They’re not going to stop bothering you no matter which option you choose. The benefit of sending them $5, even if the minimum payment is $50, is you’re forcing yourself to start living on a budget and do all you can to honor your commitment.

That’s the moral, spiritual and legal thing to do in this situation.

Lots of times when people say they can’t afford something, what they really mean is they don’t want to give up other stuff in order to honor their obligations. If that’s the case, I’m not going to be on your team.

You accepted this responsibility, and if that means you don’t eat out or go on vacation until the debt is paid off, then that’s the way it is. But if you’re already living on a beans-and-rice, scorched-earth budget and $5 is all you can squeeze out, then give them $5 and let them know with a clear conscience it’s all you can afford. All you can do is all you can do.

There’s a bright spot in all this though. If you’re scrimping and sav-

ing and paying all the money that you have first toward running your household, then secondly toward your creditors, you’ll start finding ways to stretch your dollars even further. Not only will that help you clean up your student loan mess, but it will enable you to have a little bit better life in the process.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court will decide whether a startup company can offer live television broadcasts over the Internet without paying fees to broadcasters.

The high court agreed to hear an appeal from television broadcast networks in their attempt to shut down Aereo Inc., which takes free signals from the airwaves and sends them over the Internet to paying subscribers.

Broadcasters have sued Aereo for copyright infringement. The big networks have supplemented their advertising revenue with fees from cable and satellite TV companies for redistributing their stations to subscribers. If customers drop their pay-TV service and use Aereo, broadcasters would lose some of that revenue.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year Aereo did not violate the copyrights of broadcasters with its service but a similar service has been blocked by other judges.

Aereo claims what it is doing is legal because it has thousands of tiny antennas at its data centers and assigns individual subscribers their own antenna. According to Aereo, that makes it akin to customers picking up free broadcast signals with a regular antenna at home. Aereo’s service starts at $8 a month and currently covers New York, Boston,

Houston and Atlanta, among others. Subscribers get about two dozen local over-the-air stations, plus the Bloomberg TV financial channel.

“We believe that consumers have a right to use an antenna to access over-the-air television and to make personal recordings of those broadcasts,” said Aereo CEO and founder Chet Kanojia. “The broadcasters are asking the Court to deny consumers the ability to use the cloud to access a more modern-day television antenna and DVR. If the broadcasters succeed, the consequences to consumers and the cloud industry are chilling.”

Broadcasters have argued that the use of individual antennas is a mere technicality meant to circumvent copyright law and threatens their ability to produce marquee sports or awards show events, including the Academy Awards, the Grammys and the Super Bowl.

CBS, Fox and Univision television networks are among those that say they might end their free broadcasts and become a subscription-only channel like CNN, Nickelodeon and Discovery if Aereo is successful.

“We believe that Aereo’s business model, and similar offerings that operate on the same principle, are built on stealing the creative content of others. We are pleased that our case will be heard and we look forward to having our day in court,” CBS said in a statement.

New airplanes cater to changing passenger habits Roadblocks ahead for should never be interrupted because you are flying,” says Alice Liu, managing director for onboard products for the airline.

So this new generation of planes provide passengers with larger overhead bins, power outlets and USB ports, better lighting and a lessclaustrophobic feel. There’s also less noise and – in many cases – individual TVs. “We want to give you a sense of as much space as possible,” says Mike Henny, Delta’s director of customer experience. “A darker space doesn’t feel as spacious as a lighter one.”

Some models can fly longer distances, opening up new nonstop routes. And the planes are more reliable, meaning fewer mechanical delays or cancelations.

Then there are the showoff

• AIRPLANES Continued from page D1 Several hundred smaller regional jets also are on order with other manufacturers.

“We are producing twice as many airplanes today as we were 10 years ago,” says Mary Prettyman, Airbus’ vice president of strategic marketing for the Americas. It will take Airbus eight years to fill all its current orders. “It’s unprecedented.”

The new planes cater to passengers’ changing habits.

Instead of reading a paperback book or magazine from the airport gift shop, travelers today are surfing the Internet or reading on their Kindle or iPads.

American designed the interior of its new planes with the concept that “your life

features, meant to woo highpaying customers. First class passengers between New York and Los Angeles or San Francisco on American will benefit from an on-board cappuccino machine starting this week. JetBlue is adding four seats that will be walled off from the rest of the cabin with their own doors in its new premium cabin on the same routes starting with Los Angeles June 15.

The decision to buy new planes is being driven by high fuel prices, low interest rates and Wall Street financing mechanisms that allow airlines with junk bond ratings to borrow money at favorable terms. American was even able to borrow $2.7 billion for new planes while it was still in bankruptcy restructuring.

“It certainly is an oppor-

tunistic time. There’s no doubt about that,” says John D. Rainey, United Airlines’ chief financial officer.

U.S. airlines burn through 16 billion gallons of jet fuel a year. A decade ago, they were paying 84 cents a gallon. Last year, paying more than $3 a gallon, U.S. airlines spent $50 billion on fuel.

To cut its fuel costs, United is replacing some of its domestic 757s with 100 new 737900ERs. The planes burn 15 percent less fuel per passenger. There is also a significant maintenance savings. The 737’s engines can run twice as long before needing a multimillion dollar overhaul.

While each new plane – which comes with a $96.1 million list price, though airlines always negotiate deep discounts – United hopes to save nearly $2.5 million a year.

driverless automobiles • DRIVERLESS CARS Continued from page D1 Though technological innovation isn’t an issue, there are many speed bumps on the road to this envisioned future.

Consumers must accept the safety and reliability of such systems, governments must draft and pass legislation and the insurance industry needs to draw up guidelines to answer tricky questions such as who’d be at fault in the event of a crash.

“That’s one of the biggest issues for the industry as a whole for autonomous technology,” said Glen De Vos, vice president of engineering for Delphi’s electronics and safety division. “The legal en-

vironment has to keep pace.

Today we’re at the very beginning.”

Regulation is a patchwork across the world and within the U.S. Laws regulating autonomous driving have been passed in the U.S. in Florida, California and Nevada – but not nationwide – making it impractical for automakers to sell these super-high-tech vehicles in America.

In Germany, computer-assisted driving is allowed but only up to speeds of 10 kilometers per hour (6.2 miles per hour).

“The only thing that is stopping us is the legal stuff,” said Patrick Heinemann, an engineer of advanced driver assistance systems for Audi AG.

• ENZYMES Continued from page D1 But there’s more to the story.

One group beat the fast COMT types: the slow COMT gene bearers who were also the most experienced professional flyers.

Not only did they not collapse under the stress of the extreme simulation, they shined, remaining calm while their training and experience came to the forefront. The more experience, the better they performed.

Bottom line: If you recognize in yourself the traits of either end of the COMT scale, use your genetic inheritance to your advantage. Knowing whether stress turns on your motivation or turns your brain to mush makes all the difference. Choose wisely.

A Fresh Start for Your Career

By Susan Bryant Monster Contributing Writer What do you need to do to find the kind of enjoyment or progress you want in your career? Joel Garfinkle, founder of Dream Job Coaching, a consulting firm specializing in personal fulfillment and professional transformation based in Oakland, California, offers these suggestions.

Determine Your Career Signa- When taking on new projects, try to select those that will most liketure If you had to write down one statement that would encompass who you are (or want to be) professionally and personally, what would it say? Take some time to clarify your unique signature, and use this statement as a guiding force in pursuing what you want to do and whom you want to be.

Recognize What You Can and Determine Which Aspects of Cannot Control Your Job You Like Then find a way to do more of whatever that is. When you are engrossed in a project you like, your workday will be energizing rather than draining. You may also find that the tasks you enjoy are the same ones a coworker or boss dislikes. Find out if you can work out a win-win situation.

Learn from the Best Around You Who in your office seems to really enjoy -- and excel -- at their work?

What can you learn from them?

People who like coming to work radiate positive energy, and their spirit can be infectious. Let the energy rub off on you.

Write down the things that stress you out at work. Circle the ones you have control over, and cross out the ones you don’t. Vow to stop spending energy on the crossedout items; redirect your energy on finding solutions to the problems you can change.

Do the Job Above Your Current Position Offer to take on some of the responsibilities in the position just above you. Becoming familiar with that role makes you an obvious choice for future promotion.

ly benefit you. Be sure to quantify the results of your work and add these accomplishments to your resume, which you should be updating regularly.

Cultivate Friendships at Work Your coworkers can understand and appreciate what life is like in your office better than anyone else. Take the time to develop friendly relationships with them.

You’ll benefit personally and professionally from the time you invest in getting to know them.

See the Big Picture and the Little Pictures What is the big picture -- your overall vision -- for your professional life? Now what are the small daily steps or little pictures that will get you there? Make a small goal, like joining a professional organization or finding a mentor -- something you can accomplish today.

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com All of Beth Velatini’s chili recipes used to turn out like soup.

But the Cary woman was determined to get one right. With her Best Buffalo Chicken Chili, she did. The slow-cooker recipe, a favorite of her friends and family, recently won a contest that netted her a $10,000 prize split with a hunger-fighting organization of her choice.

Velatini chose Common Threads, a national organizaBeth Velatini tion that teachContest es children in winner under-served communities how to cook healthy meals.

The SparkPeople’s Splitthe-Pot contest accepted recipes nationwide as a way to celebrate the re-launch of the cooking website sparkrecipes. com. Fifteen finalists were narrowed down to a winner in December, after judges cooked and tasted the finalist recipes.

“I was like, ‘What? That’s crazy,’ ” Velatini remembered of the day she learned she’d won. “I can’t tell you how many people have used the recipe at chili cook-offs at the office or block parties, and it always wins because it’s just a different chili, I think.”

The key to the recipe, Velatini said, is the ground chicken.

A fan of “buffalo anything,” she came up with the recipe in January of 2010 and posted it on her blog, mybizzykitchen.com. It immediately was a hit.

“Most people use ground turkey, and I was like, ‘Why can’t you just use chicken?’

It’s kind of like the same flavor as chicken wings,” she said of the recipe.

“For the longest time, I could not make chili to save my life. ... It was the first time when it actually looked like chili and tasted like chili.”

Velatini had been reading food blogs and recipes for years before she started blogging in 2008. Along with sharing recipes, the blog allows her to leave something behind for her future grandchildren.

“How interesting it would be for them to read about me from age 40 until now. I post every day, the ups, the downs, the whatever, the recipes, everything,” she said. “I think it’s kind of interesting my future family can look and read about my life.”

Velatini started becoming more interested in cooking as her daughter grew older and expanded her interests in food. The family had relied on a simple menu, such as spaghetti, tacos and burgers, before Velatini decided to try more things.

“If I don’t eat them, she’s not going to eat them,” she said of her daughter, who was 8 when she started blogging.

“We got into the kitchen and started making more things.

The more you do it, the better cook you become.”

Velatini, who works as a legal secretary in South Barrington, blogs daily, spending about 30 minutes every morning on her blog. She does her meal planning Friday nights, grocery shopping on Saturdays and prep work on Sunday.

The Best Buffalo Chicken Chili recipe contains Velatini’s favorite Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, but she said it can be dialed back depending on taste.

“It’s perfect for the Super Bowl,” she said.

Best Buffalo Chicken Chili Start to finish: 2 hours, 15 minutes Number of Servings: 10 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 large carrots 3 stalks celery 1 large red pepper 2 15-ounce cans no-salt added tomato sauce 1 15-ounce can no-salt added diced tomatoes 1 15-ounce can no-salt added black beans, drained 1 15-ounce can chili beans in sauce (do not drain) 5 cloves garlic 5 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons ground cumin 1 tablespoon paprika 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce Salt and pepper to taste Heat your slow cooker on high. Add in olive oil. In a food processor, grind up the chicken until it is coarse like ground beef. Add chicken to slow cooker and cook for about 10 minutes. Rinse out the food processor and add in the carrots, celery and red pepper and process until slightly chunky. (If you don’t have a food processor, simply chop up the chicken and veggies.)

Add the vegetables to the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients except salt and pepper and cook for 2 hours. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. (Frank’s hot sauce usually has enough sodium for me.)

Serve with cilantro, sour cream, cheddar cheese or tortilla chips on the side.

Flavor fish with pineapple salsa

By J.M. HIRSCH

Servings: 4

The Associated Press We all know baked white fish is a fast and healthy way to get dinner on the table, particular during this annual time of dietary vow renewal.

What isn’t always clear is how to prepare that white fish without adding tons of fat and calories or rendering it a tasteless hunk of protein. But it’s actually not all that hard.

It’s all in how you dress it. For me, that means a flavorful, fresh salsa. For this recipe, I created a pineapple-mint salsa that gets tons of flavor from not only its namesake ingredients, but also cilantro, jalapeno, onion and garlic. But if pineapple and mint don’t work for you, this versatile recipe works great with plenty of alternatives.

Substitute an equal amount of just about any fresh fruit – diced apples, mangos, orange segments, plums, even grapes would be delicious. And if you don’t have time to make fresh salsa? Most jarred salsas are a fast and healthy choice (just read the labels and watch for added sugar).

Baked Haddock With Pineapple-Mint Salsa Start to finish: 30 minutes

1 1/4 pounds haddock fillets Olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 pound fresh pineapple flesh, cut into chunks 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped 1 medium red onion, quartered 1/4 cup fresh mint 1/4 cup fresh cilantro Juice of 1 lime Hot sauce, to taste Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it with cooking spray.

Arrange the haddock fillets on the baking sheet, then brush them with a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the pineapple, jalapeño, onion, mint, cilantro and lime juice. Pulse until roughly chopped. Transfer to a bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Adjust heat by adding hot sauce, if desired. Serve the salsa over the haddock.

Museum curator to share passion for collecting

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com The sites James Phillips excavates date back a million years, but he works daily to make things new at Chicago’s Field Museum.

An anthropologist and professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Phillips will speak at 10 a.m.

Jan. 16 at the Woodstock Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., as part of the Woodstock Fine Arts Association’s Creative Living Series.

A curator at the museum since 1995, Phillips now works in Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Sudan, and is embarking on a project to revise the Field Museum’s Ancient Egypt exhibit, last rebuilt in 1988.

While museum visitors will return for special exhibits, they’re not as likely to return to visit permanent exhibits again and again, Phillips said.

“So we, all museums around the world, are wrestling with the idea of making things fresh,” he said.

Yet, doing so costs money.

A revamping of the Ancient Egypt exhibit, for instance, has been estimated at about $10 million. Because of this, museums must work to fundraise and remain relevant, Phillips said.

He’ll touch on topics such as these as part of the Creative Living Series, which brings in speakers annually on numerous topics. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, this season’s series will include many speakers affiliated with the historical arena.

Through the years, organizers have brought in writers, chefs, philosophers, artists, musicians, television personalities, photographers, decorators and poets, among

WHY IS MY FURNACE RUNNING CONSTANTLY?

others. The series has not had a speaker representing the Field Museum in two decades, organizers say.

Eager to accept the invitation, Phillips said his presentation likely would focus on the basics of why museums, even individuals, collect.

With 22 million objects, the Field Museum hosts one of the largest collections in the world.

Phillips can offer a personal tour of the institution.

“I’m going to talk about the history of collecting in some ways and some ideas about why museums exist and what value they have and how we can improve,” he said.

Social media has affected the influence of museums, but at the same time, they’re taking advantage of the outlets to draw in patrons and researchers.

“We want people to look at our website. We want virtual visitors, shall we say,” Phillips said.

Along with his curating and excavation projects, Phillips has curated the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, as well as Cleopatra, Eternal Egypt, Mammoths and Mastodons, the Lod Mosaic and The Horse. He was co-curator of the Lascaux III exhibit.

This past week has set all kinds of records for the coldest temperatures.

These extreme conditions have also caused your furnace to run almost nonstop. In most cases, this is normal for sub-zero temperatures.

The reason the furnace is on most of the time is because your home is losing the heat too quickly. Therefore, the furnace has to keep running to make up for the loss.

The tighter the home, the less heat loss you have. Attic insulation should be at least R-38. For most existing homes, adding attic insulation, and weather stripping doors and windows should minimize the problem.

If the furnace is unable to maintain the temperature in your house, then there may be a mechanical problem, or a sizing issue with the equipment.

We can easily determine if either of these points are the culprit.

Until the temperatures return to a more “normal” level, do not lower your temperature on the thermostat at night time, otherwise the furnace will run for hours the next morning.

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Handmade clutches created by a Lake in the Hills designer are in the hands of celebrities.

Having already provided products for celebrity swag bags at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and the 2013 Primetime Emmys, Aileen Parks of Girl by Aileen was selected to include her champagne ivory chiffon rosette pouch in 100 celebrity gift bags at an event in honor of the 2014 Aileen Parks Golden Globes this weekend.

Owner of Girl The inviby Aileen tation-only luxury celebrity gift lounge included Golden Globe nominees and presenters, and take place Jan. 10 and 11 at an exclusive location in Beverly Hills.

Parks also was asked to prepare a display piece for the event, showcasing a champagne/nude chiffon clutch. She said she chose the two designs because she wanted something retro-chic for her gift to the celebrities and something elegant for her display piece.

“Normally you don’t get an opportunity like this to be able to connect with a celebrity by gifting them something,” said Parks, who started her online business at www.girlbyaileen.etsy. com last year.

“We look at magazines, and we see celebrities wearing the different outfits and accessories,” she said. “It’s a good tool for a business owner, because everybody wants to wear what the celebrities wear.”

She said she admires the styles of Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Ling and Giuliana Rancic and hopes to see them with her clutches someday.

Parks earned the selections after becoming a member of The Artisan Group, an

exclusive group for artists to promote their products to celebrities. With about 700 members nationwide, the group is selective. Artists must apply and be accepted only by invitation.

Along with promotion, members are given guidance in sales, marketing, social media and public relations.

“We are just trying to bring handmade goods to celebrities,” Parks said of the group. “Oftentimes, when they have those luxury lounges, nothing is handmade. Everything is produced in a factory.”

Parks established Girl by Aileen after being laid off last year from a position she held for 23 years. She’d made clutches as a hobby for years before that.

Her products range from $25 to $55. Her typical customers are brides from their early 20s to early 30s looking for something meaningful to gift their bridesmaids, she said.

In addition to awards shows, her products were

featured on “The Wendy Williams Show” and given to the host and some of the audience members.

Parks’ creations also have been given to celebrity moms, including Claire Danes, Penélope Cruz, Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian, among others, in honor of Mother’s Day last year as part of a gift bag created by The Artisan Group.

She will be featured next during the MTV Movie Awards Celebrity Gift Lounge before the awards show in April.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

– If Woody Allen attends the Golden Globe Awards, he’d rival Bill Clinton as its biggest surprise guest.

Allen will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at Sunday’s ceremony. The writer-director famously avoids awards shows, though, and skipped those for his previous 12 Golden Globe nominations.

“We’ve read that Woody’s not going to be here,” said executive producer Barry Adelman, who kept Clinton’s appearance under wraps until airtime last year. “We’ve heard rumors there may be some surprises.”

Although the 71st annual Golden Globes are just hours away, the show is still coming together.

Sounds of buzzing drills and beeping scissor lifts fill the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom, where workers are busy hanging chandeliers, assembling a stage and installing some of the 18 cameras that will capture the starry action on show night.

Apart from Allen, most of the stars supplying that action are confirmed: Emma Stone, the lead of Allen’s latest film, will present his DeMille award, and Diane Keaton “is going to join in,” Adelman said.

Laura Dern will present best picture nominee “Nebraska,” which stars her dad, best actor candidate Bruce Dern. Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon will introduce their daughter, Sosie Bacon, who’s serving as this year’s Miss Golden Globe.

Other presenters announced this week include Tom Hanks, Melissa McCarthy, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Lawrence, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Emma Watson.

With such a high celebrity quotient, there’s a great image in every lens, said Globes director Louis J. Horvitz, who will call the shots broadcast worldwide from a giant truck parked behind the Beverly Hilton.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler return as hosts for a second time after winning raves and ratings last year. They work without restriction with their own writing teams, Adelman said. His first look at their material was Friday. They also write and improvise throughout the show.

Rental cars should come with instruction manuals Dear Abby: We rented a car while we were on vacation. Most of the newer cars have all kinds of hightech equipment and devices – different kinds for different models of vehicles. The problem is the instruction booklets that describe how the equipment operates are never provided with the cars.

It’s dangerous to try to figure out how the equipment operates by trial and error while starting to drive an unfamiliar vehicle. Why don’t the rental agencies provide the instruction manuals, or at least a pamphlet summarizing the procedures? Surely not many people would steal them, since they’re just using the cars for a short time.

Also, it would be helpful if the rental agencies would include an inexpensive ice scraper with every car in appropriate areas of the country, so customers could clean their windshields and avoid the hazard of

obstructed vision. – Car Renter In

Charlottesville, Va. Dear Car Renter: What you’re describing also is true with loaner cars that are offered when a vehicle is being serviced. I am pretty sure the reason those items are not provided is fear that they would be stolen.

However, I agree knowing how to operate the radio, heating, air-conditioning and street map functions on the newer cars can be confusing, which is why you should ask to have the pertinent pages of the manual photocopied so you can refer to them as needed. (The technologically inclined can Google the make of car and ask “How to turn on the radio,” etc. because the information is available online.)

Dear Abby: My best friend died from the flu in November. She was only 63 and had been my friend for 23 years. She died because she was stubborn and insisted to all her friends –

myself included – she was “fine” and didn’t need to see a doctor or go to the emergency room.

We had all threatened to come and drag her to the doctor or the ER or call 911, but because she insisted she was getting better, we took her word for it. Now we’re kicking ourselves for not getting her the help she obviously needed.

Abby, please tell your readers when a friend or family member is sick enough to cause this kind of concern, to ignore the person and get her (or him) to a doctor. I will miss my friend every day for the rest of my life because I no longer can call to say good morning. Her name was Abby, too, and she was the best friend I’ve ever had. – Devastated In

Tarzana, Calif.

Dear Devastated: I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. But none of you should blame yourselves for what happened to her. She made an un-

wise choice.

It is not unusual for people who experience serious symptoms to go into a state of denial (“Let’s wait,” “It will pass,” etc.). But unless your friend was experiencing extreme respiratory distress or an unusually high fever, she might have recovered from that virus without intervention.

P.S. I can’t help but wonder if your friend got her flu vaccination last fall when they started being offered. While it’s not 100 percent effective for everyone, it is effective in many people. I get one every year, and it’s worth discussing with your doctor.

A thought for the day, courtesy of Benjamin Franklin: “He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.”

Scars of adult children of alcoholics not always visible Mr. Atwater: I have always been a pretty successful guy.

I have two brothers and a sister, and all three are messes.

My older brother has been in jail twice for dealing drugs.

My younger brother has been in rehab for alcoholism and is living in an old motel with his alcoholic girlfriend and her two kids. My sister has never been able to hold a job, has had numerous “loser” boyfriends and is always trying to mooch money from me to get by.

My parents were alcoholics. They weren’t bad people, but they really didn’t do a

very good job of parenting.

I can see the damage it has caused my siblings, but my question is why am I apparently unaffected?

Dear Reader: Kids that grow up in alcoholic families tend to line up in amazingly predictable ways. The rules of engagement are all members of the family must adapt to the alcoholism, but there’s no healthy way to adapt to an unhealthy situation. Kids are subtly required to accept unacceptable things, talk only about certain topics or not talk at all. They are generally required not to feel certain

ways, and often they learn to deny their own observations.

They often feel afraid and uncertain, causing anxiety. They often live with unpredictability and try to control things they can’t control. They often feel ashamed of their situation and of the secrets they learn to keep.

So the short form of my answer to you is no matter how good you look on the outside, no one walks away without damage.

That is not to say your parents were bad people. They didn’t set out to have alcoholism or to do harm. They only

came from their own damage.

I would say your siblings have the more visible damage but that because you are the one doing the asking, you are likely to have your own concerns.

One member often is the overachiever, the person who takes the heat off the failures of the other members by succeeding. The downside of this family role is the burden of carrying the weight of the family’s self-esteem at the expense of his own. “Heroes,” as these guys are called, often suffer from feelings of not being enough. No amount of

achievement can satisfy them, and they can become perfectionists, workaholics and distant from their families of origin. The “hero” can easily slip by unnoticed because of the outer achievements, but the feelings usually catch up later.

You might want to do some reading about Adult Children of Alcoholics and try attending an ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) group to further answer some of your questions.

What is sleep apnea?

Drive to sleep

Sleep apnea is an involuntary cessation of breathing that happens while the patient is asleep.

People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer. In most cases, the sleeper is unaware of these breath stoppages because they don’t trigger a full awakening.

What are consequences?

Left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious and life-shortening consequences: high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, automobile accidents caused by falling asleep at the wheel, diabetes, depression and other ailments.

Who has it?

It affects more than 18 million Americans. Risk factors include being male, overweight, and over the age of 40, but sleep apnea can strike anyone at any age, even children.

Truck driver falling asleep during daily routines gets wake-up call at the dentist

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

J

oe Hathcoat went in for a toothache and ended up with treatment for sleep apnea.

The dentist likely isn’t the first person thought of when it comes to sleep and snoring problems, but more dental patients are getting help through a relatively new treatment.

As part of the paperwork at All Smiles Dental in Algonquin, Hathcoat identified some possible trouble with his sleep habits, so his dentist, Dr. Timothy Stirneman, suggested he bring home a test for sleep apnea.

Those with the chronic sleep disorder suffer from pauses or shallow breathing during sleep. It can lead to daytime fatigue, as well as major health issues.

“Something was wrong,” said Joe’s wife, Threse, who videotaped her husband sleeping and showed the dentist. “He snores badly, and he was gasping for air and it freaked me out.”

A truck driver who drives up to 300 miles a day for more than 12 hours at times, Hathcoat also was feeling fatigued during the day. He actually fell asleep in the dentist’s chair during his first visit.

Along with the health issues, such as high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and even death that sleep apnea can lead to, the disorder can affect driving. Some statistics show the risk of traffic accidents doubles for sleep apnea sufferers.

“It’s getting more and more press that being drowsy while you drive is just like being drunk,” Stirneman said. The

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates drowsy driving causes 100,000 crashes a year, resulting in 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths.

The sleep study Hathcoat took home with him reveled he stopped breathing or partly stopped breathing an average of 42 times an hour. More than 30 times an hour is considered severe, Stirneman said.

The test showed Hathcoat could benefit from a mouthpiece used to help prevent sleep apnea, he said.

The mouthpieces especially help those who can’t tolerate the masks, or CPAP (Constant Positive Airway Pressure) machines, typically used to treat the disorder.

“A lot of people either feel claustrophobic or they’re just not comfortable,” said Stirneman, a sleep apnea sufferer himself.

“Personally, I was one of those. I tried every mask under the sun and couldn’t wear it. I went a few years without doing anything.”

He’d keep himself awake by remaining busy, like many do, he said. Others revert to snacking frequently, he said, and being overweight, along with other triggers, in some cases can lead to the disorder.

Stirneman eventually took a course on ways dentists can help treat sleep apnea, helped himself and now is helping his patients.

The oral mouthpieces basically help air move through the airway by holding the jaw forward so it can’t drop back.

“What happens is that your jaw drops back, and if you can imagine a garden hose, it kind of kinks,” Stirneman said. “A CPAP actually is like blowing air into the

hose and blowing out the kink from one side. ... What the oral appliance does, it’s like pulling from a garden hose the other way. What it does is instead of blowing air in it pulls it tight so air can possibly go through there.”

Stirneman said he was one of few dentists using the treatment because of the extensive training it requires.

Once a mouthpiece is fitted in a patient, like it was in Hathcoat, it must be checked often during follow-up appointments.

“Any dentist can treat it, but if you don’t do the followup correctly, people can start feeling better, but they’re not all the way treated,” Stirneman said.

Joe Hathcoat’s physician had referred him to a clinic for an overnight sleep study years ago, but Hathcoat didn’t like the use of all the wires and monitoring devices the test would have required. So he walked out.

He’d remained untreated since then.

“I didn’t know it was that bad,” the 42-year-old Algonquin man said. “They said I could die from this. I had no clue.”

That’s the case with many with the disorder, experts say. They either remain untested and untreated or unwilling to use a CPAP machine. Of those identified, an estimated 5 to 10 percent of Americans are affected by sleep apnea.

“It’s a really dangerous thing that I think a lot of people just pass off as snoring,” Stirneman said. “If anybody’s got any snoring that causes them to have to go to bed in a different room than their spouse, there’s a problem, something that ought to get checked out.”

Driving drowsy People who are excessively sleepy either because of lifestyle factors or because of an untreated sleep disorder are more likely to have crashes related to excessive daytime sleepiness, according to the National Sleep Foundation. People with undiagnosed or untreated disorders and people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have been shown to have up to Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com a seven times increased risk of falling Joe Hathcoat, a truck driver suffering from severe sleep apnea, gets fitted with a mouthpiece that will hold his jaw forward, giving him a larger airway, at All Smiles Dental in Algonquin. The asleep at the wheel. mouthpieces are used for those with sleep apnea who can’t tolerate the large breathing masks that must be worn at night.

Are You at Risk?

The mouthpieces are used for those with sleep apnea who can’t tolerate the large breathing masks that must be worn at night.

Before you drive, consider whether you are: • Sleep-deprived or fatigued (6 hours of sleep or less triples your risk) • Suffering from sleep loss (insomnia), poor quality sleep or a sleep debt • Driving long distances without proper rest breaks • Driving through the night, mid-afternoon or when you would normally be asleep • Taking sedating medications (antidepressants, cold tablets, antihistamines) • Working more than 60 hours a week (increases your risk by 40%) • Working more than one job and your main job involves shift work • Drinking even small amounts of alcohol • Driving alone or on a long, rural, dark or boring road.

What Your Jewelry Says About Your Personality When we shop for accessories, especially jewelry, we try to find something that expresses our personality and uniqueness. We all have a “jewelry personality/style”, what’s yours?

Classic - Something with a timeless quality. Think your grandmothers pearls or your mothers diamond right hand ring. Not only are these pieces beautiful family heirlooms, they are timeless gems that will never go out of style. They are a bit conservative, but are trustworthy and dependable. The perfect go to piece to compliment any outfit.

Art Deco - This style is all about taking chances and living on the edge. A large statement with rich, bold colors is what these pieces boast. Art Deco is all about luxury, glamour and exuberance.

Bohemian (Boho Chic) - A style all about being free-spirited, organic and earth friendly. Think shell, stone, cord and leather wrap bracelets with earthy tones.

Pieces that are Boho Chic often boast uncut or rough cut natural stones such as diamonds, rubies or sapphires. Usually most pieces that are worn together don’t match, but just somehow work together to compliment your outfit.

Maximalist – A large accumulation of jewelry is only natural for any woman, but for the Maximalist she wants to wear all f her beloved jewels at once. Think multiple bangle bracelets coupled with several necklaces and a ring on each finger.

Insert the Grateful Dead song Scarlett Begonias here…”She’s got rings on her fingers and bells on her toes…”

Rock and Roll – Here you can dance to the beat of your own drum. Lots of leather, studs, chains and different types of metals fit this jewelry personality.

Layering different chain thicknesses and different metal colors is a great rock and roll look. Anything goes when it’s rock and roll!

Trend Setter –You are the first to know about and wear new jewelry trends.

Your friend’s look to you for what the“next big jewelry”style is going to be. This personality is bold, daring and above all creative. All eyes are on the trendsetter.

Woman worries right man will propose with wrong ring I think my boyfriend is going to propose with an heirloom ring that, sadly, I don’t care for. Am I wrong for not wanting to wear it?

“Some engagement rings are handed down from mothers and grandmothers,” said Weddings contributing editor and event designer David Stark, of David Stark Design and Production in Brooklyn.

“When it’s a gift from the groom’s side, it symbolically announces, ‘You are part of the family.’”

If the ring your boyfriend inherited isn’t your style, however, you have two options.

One, see if he’d be open to having a new setting designed for the stone by saying something like, “I’m so grateful for this generous and thoughtful gift, but I want this ring to represent a new start for us, too.”

If your gut tells you taking this route will cause serious tension with him – or get your relationship with your in-laws off to a rocky start – then skip it and go for option two: Accept the piece graciously, knowing full well there will be plenty of future opportunities to receive significant pieces of jewelry (think anniversaries, baby births and birthdays). Select a wedding band that you’ll love to don daily, and wear

the heirloom ring on special occasions when you’re with his relatives. Or, hang it on a delicate chain around your neck: As Carrie Bradshaw once said, it’s closer to your heart that way.

If a few bridesmaids who live far away are unable to attend the bridal shower, are they still responsible for contributing to the cost of the event?

Great question. Here’s another: Are those bridesmaids going to be named on the invite? If so, then yes.

Technically, anyone listed as a co-host, whether she’s an attendant or a sister, a friend or a relative, is expected to pitch in.

The organizer (usually the maid of honor) should contact the entire bridal party well in advance of the shower, clearly outlining what the costs will be and asking who wants to help host.

If someone opts out of throwing the party, that’s fine, but let them decide if they want to contribute; just because they may not be there to enjoy the event doesn’t mean that they won’t want to participate from afar.

Helping 126 Homeowners by “Giving Away” *$1,829 Furnaces for $829 with Off-Season Central Air...

(This is great financial news if your furnace is over 12 years old) Dear Neighbor: This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 12 years old.

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.

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.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“Lone Survivor” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch

PLOT: Based on the failed June 28, 2005, mission “Operation Red Wings.” Four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd.

RATED: R for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language

TIME: 2 hours, 1 minute VERDICT: With all the talk about fact-based films and how accurate they should or shouldn’t be, it’s worth noting that some stories are best brought to screen as simply and purely as possible. This is especially true with a film like “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s expertly rendered account of a disastrous 2005 military operation in Afghanistan. Berg has wisely chosen to focus pretty squarely on the action, and to present it as straightforwardly as possible. And he’s executed that approach with admirable skill, down to using autopsy reports to get the number of wounds a soldier suffered exactly right.

The action scenes – basically, one protracted, harrowing firefight – feel as realistic as any we’ve seen on the screen for some time. That firefight, for those unfamiliar with the story (Berg also penned the screenplay, based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell), took place June 28, 2005, in the craggy mountains of Afghanistan’s Kunar province. As part of Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fellow SEALS were positioned on a hillside, tracking a Taliban commander in the village below, when they suddenly encountered a few local shepherds. Their agonized decision on what to do with those shepherds, one of them a teenager, led to a string of events that ultimately resulted in 19 American deaths. Of course, the title, “Lone Survivor,” and the fact Luttrell is played by the movie’s star (Mark Wahlberg, in a strong and moving performance) tells you much of what’s going to happen from the get-go. But that doesn’t hurt the film’s immediacy and power. In fact, you may have a hard time sitting still. – The Associ-

“Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” STARRING: Andrew Jacobs, Jorge Diaz, Gabrielle Walsh

PLOT: Jessie begins experiencing a number of disturbing and unex-

LOCAL SHOWTIMES plainable things after the death of his neighbor. As he investigates, it isn’t long before Jessie finds he’s been marked for possession by a malevolent demonic entity, and it’s only a matter of time before he is completely under its control.

RATED: R for pervasive language, some violence, graphic nudity and some drug use TIME: 1 hour, 24 minutes VERDICT: It would be a wild exaggeration to suggest “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” breathes new life into the increasingly fumes-fueled found-footage horror subgenre, but it certainly represents a shot in the arm for this series after 2012’s poorly regarded “Paranormal Activity 4.” Functioning more as a mythology-expanding spinoff than a proper sequel, this fifth installment (the first directed by longtime series writer Christopher Landon) smartly switches the setting away from airy suburbs to overcrowded, workingclass apartments, and introduces a winning sense of humor that almost compensates for its relentless reliance on every terror trope in the book. It’s to the credit of the film’s primary cast that these bits of genre-appropriate stupidity generate more laughs than groans. Kicking off with a high-school graduation, “The Marked Ones” centers on likably lunkheaded teenage buddies Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) and Hector (Jorge Diaz), as well as Jesse’s tag-along relative Marisol (Gabrielle Walsh). Seemingly possessing no greater postgrad ambitions than milling around and attempting “Jackass” stunts with their omnipresent video camera, Jesse and Hector harass Jesse’s abuela (Renee Victor), smoke pot, play basketball, occasionally run afoul of some local gangsters, draw penises on one another’s faces, and generally break each other’s balls for a decent chunk of the film. Fortunately, Jacobs and Diaz boast an easy “Beavis and Butt-head”-esque chemistry throughout, making for pleasant company as the audience waits for the inevitable horrors to befall them. The first complication comes from Jesse’s elderly downstairs neighbor, Anna (Gloria Sandoval), whose reclusive behavior is strange enough for Hector to postulate that “maybe the bitch is a bruja.” The two try to spy on her by lowering a camera down through a ventilation shaft, where they witness Anna scrawling arcane symbols on the belly of a nude younger woman. Being teenage boys, they’re far too intrigued

While the film hardly plays it coy about where this is all heading, it doesn’t seem to be in a rush to get there, and it springs a number of smart ideas along the

way. Replacing the typical Ouija board with a haunted Simon game is sure to provoke howls of laughter from those in the appropriate age bracket, and the idea that a victim of demonic possession would rush to YouTube to show off his gnarly new abilities – and be promptly torn to shreds by comment section trolls – is sadly in keeping with the times.
