2006 DOUBLE HOMICIDE

Son charged with murder of parents

District 156 aide accused of sex assault Man put on administrative leave

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A District 156 teacher’s aide surrendered to police Thursday on charges of criminal sexual assault of a student.

Andrew J. Loef, 27, of 1115 Claridge Drive in Libertyville, was detained by McHenry police after being charged with having a sexual encounter with a 17-year-old female while in a position of authority. The incident is believed to have occurred on Sept. 1 of last year.

Criminal sexual assault is a Class 1 felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

The student reported the incident, which allegedly took place off school grounds, to District 156 staff Jan. 10, according to a letter that went out to parents Thursday. Loef was immediately removed from the

Former Algonquin man arrested in Las Vegas

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

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

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

There were no signs of forced entry at the couple’s home,

Police long have suspected Michael Romano. Formerly of Algonquin, he left the area shortly after his parents’ death and was working as a cab driv-

er in Las Vegas, sheriff’s police said.

As the 2006 investigation progressed, Michael Romano stopped cooperating with detectives and would only speak with them through an attorney, according to Northwest Herald reports from the time.

It’s unclear what new evidence, if any, connects Michael Romano to the killings.

McHenry County State’s Attorney Criminal Division Chief Michael Combs would not comment on the investigation.

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

Andrew J. Loef, 27, of Libertyville is charged with criminal sexual assault of a 17-year-old female while in a position of authority.

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

State Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford jumped on Rauner on Thursday for everything from his flip-flop on raising the minimum wage to his daughter’s entrance in an elite high school, prompting Rauner to declare it “a little bit of a beat up Brucey morning.”

The comments followed news conferences both Dillard and Brady held in the

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Earpiece comes in handy for hands-free phone The last time I remember being hands free was when I was in high school, riding my bicycle hands free.

No hands on the handlebars while I bicycled with my golf clubs to Green Acres – no kidding – Country Club in Donnellson, Iowa. My 10-speed was a marvel in balance. It certainly helped that Donnellson was flat and the streets well-paved, as well as completely lacking in traffic.

I could maneuver the mile to the golf course without putting my hands on the handlebars, except to make turns. It probably was dangerous, and police probably would pull me over now for hands-free bicycling.

Why I didn’t crumple up into a pile of bicycle and blood is beyond me.

But I had hardly a care in the world when I was biking to the golf course or other points in between. And this was before helmets and the notion of traumatic brain injuries. I was just a kid.

Now, hands free takes on a new meaning in Illinois. It’s not about bicycling; it’s about driving.

And, as of Jan. 1, it is illegal to talk on your cellphone while driving if you are holding it up to your ear. Police can pull you over if they see you and give you a $75 ticket first time out.

And if you don’t get it the first time,

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Dick Peterson the second time you are pulled over, the ticket is $100. After four times, you could have your license suspended.

I don’t want a ticket. No call is worth $75. And you would have to be plain dumb to lose your license over cellphones.

I’ve had a cellphone for almost nine years; I think it came inside our wedding cake. For all my life, I had been tied to the landline, only it wasn’t called a landline. It was called a telephone, and it was attached to the wall.

And if you wanted to make a call, you were attached to the wall.

I was a latecomer to cellphones. In fact, I was anti-cellphone. If I had a cellphone, it meant that I was connected to the world at all times; there was no getting away from it. Of course, if it rang, you would answer it. No matter where you were. In the living room. In the bathroom. Egad. In the car. There was no escaping the world with a cellphone. I wanted that escape.

But I’ve come to find out that I do not receive a lot of telephone calls.

And I do not make a lot of telephone

calls. I haven’t done a thorough analysis, but I think most of the telephone calls I receive come from my pharmacy, my friendly pharmacy. Completely computer generated.

My good wife comes in second.

We’re really never that far apart to need to call.

But call I do on my way home from my Friday evening appointments, talking all the way from the parking lot to our driveway. I make the call to let her know I’m on my way home, giving her a chance to fire up the oven for the pizza.

And I’ve been doing this with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand to my ear holding the phone. It’s never been a problem. Not even close.

It’s like talking to someone in the passenger seat. It’s hardly a distraction.

But it is a distraction, according to Illinois state law. And distractions cause crashes.

So, instead of holding the phone to your ear, you have to use handsfree technology, such as a Blue Tooth device, an earpiece, a headset or a speakerphone. The Blue Tooth is out of the question. People who use those devices look like they have cicadas sucking on their ears. Ugh. An earpiece came with our cellphones, and that is what I am left to

use.

I gave it the first try a couple of weeks ago, and I don’t see how it improves safety over a handheld phone.

But greater minds than mine prevail in Illinois.

It took several minutes – before I started the car – to figure out how to plug the earpiece into the cellphone.

Then I had to fairly jam the earpiece into my ear so it wouldn’t fall out or puncture my eardrum, then I made the call to my wife, and then I started the car. By the time I was in reverse, I was talking on the phone hands free.

The call was amazingly clear compared to the last time I tried using an earpiece years ago. I could hear my wife and she could hear me. Amazing.

But I was afraid the earpiece would fall out if I moved my head too quickly, and that’s enough to get into a crash. I am guessing the more I use the earpiece, the more comfortable I will become, and it won’t be long before it is second nature.

Just like riding a bike. Hands free.

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

The Associated Press In a hydra-headed Oscar race, “American Hustle,” “12 Years a Slave” and “Gravity” all have legitimate claims to favorite status. And that’s a good thing. Even if a front-runner emerges from the much-nominated trio over the six weeks leading up to the 86th Academy Awards on March 2, the credentials of each film should be plenty to heighten nerves and add to the drama on Oscar night.

But Russell’s wild Abscam comedy, thick in 1970s style, has ridden a wave of enthusiasm for its manic performances.

Forum remarks focus on Rauner

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press MOUNT PROSPECT – The Republican race for Illinois governor took on a combative tone Thursday as candidates at a forum took jabs – mostly at businessman Bruce Rauner – over allegations of clout, flip-flopping over the issues and questionable campaign donations.

It was the first time all four candidates appeared on a stage together in 2014 to give their side-by-side views on a recent pension overhaul, the minimum wage and Illinois’ business climate, but comments from state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard were peppered with digs at Rauner, a billionaire who has already saturated the airwaves with campaign ads.

Those included him recently changing his stance from cutting Illinois’ minimum wage to being supportive of raising it under the right circumstances, questions over his daughter’s entrance into an elite Chicago high school and the vast amounts of money he’s raised. Campaign financial disclosure reports due Wednesday show he’s brought

Republican primary candidate for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner responds Thursday to a question during a business forum in Mount Prospect. in more than five times the amount of the other three combined.

“It’s the constant drip drip drip of questions that I think will wash away in a flood any chance that our party has if Bruce is the nominee of defeating [Gov.] Pat Quinn in the fall,” said Dillard, who loosed the first barb at Rauner, remarking he was glad the businessman could attend. Rauner has committed to only a few debates and missed one hosted by tea party activists this week.

Rauner, who called himself the “master at fundraising,” said the attention his rivals were giving him showed that his message was resonating with voters and he was ahead.

“This has been a little bit of beat up Brucey morning,” he said. “And that’s OK.” Brady knocked Rauner’s television ads and said he’d learned lessons from 2010, when Brady ran against Quinn and lost.

“The general, it’s the big leagues,” he said. “You’re not going to be able to buy the air-

waves. Democrats have money to counteract you.”

Rauner, who is seeking political office for the first time, took shots of his own, calling his rivals political insiders with conflicts of interest who are tied to union money.

Rutherford quickly fired back: “No, Bruce Rauner, don’t do that. You have no right to put out false information on me.”

The event was billed as a forum about business affairs.

Among the most prominent business issues discussed were a recent pension overhaul to the state’s nearly $100 billon public pension crisis.

Lawmakers approved a plan last month that cuts benefits for state employees and retirees, but has already been the subject of lawsuits.

Brady voted for the overhaul and said his action would produce enough savings and aid Republicans’ opposition to an extension of the state’s income tax increase, which is due to be scaled back in 2015.

Quinn has said the issue needs to be examined.

“If we delayed, the Democrats would absolutely have an argument to raise the income tax,” he said of the pension vote.

NSA review a quest for trust for Obama

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Faced with Edward Snowden’s first leaks about the government’s sweeping surveillance apparatus, President Barack Obama’s message to Americans boiled down to this: trust me.

“I think on balance, we have established a process and a procedure that the American people should feel comfortable about,” Obama said in June, days after the initial disclosure about the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of telephone data from millions of people.

But the leaks kept coming. They painted a picture of a clandestine spy program that indiscriminately scooped up phone and Internet records, while also

secretly keeping tabs on the communications of friendly foreign leaders, like Germany’s Angela Merkel.

On Friday, Obama will unveil a much-anticipated blueprint on the future of those endeavors. His changes appear to be an implicit acknowledgement that the trust he thought Americans would have in the spy operations is shaky at best. His focus is expected to be on steps that increase oversight and transparency while largely leaving the framework of the programs in place.

The president is expected to back the creation of an independent public advocate on the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approves the bulk collections and currently only hears arguments from the government.

Ill. objection to Hardiman candidacy withdrawn

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn’s lone rival in the Democratic primary can stay on the ballot after objections to his candidacy were dropped Thursday.

The Democratic governor’s campaign lawyer, who represented three objectors to Tio Hardiman’s ticket, said “it wasn’t worth the effort” to continue contesting the candidacy because of what he considers Hardiman’s long-shot candidacy.

The Illinois State Board of

Elections was set to decide the matter Thursday. Objectors had said Hardiman, a Hillside resident and former director of the Chicago nonprofit CeaseFire, had not gathered enough signatures and that his running mate, Chicago lawyer Brunell Donald, was not properly registered to vote.

“We didn’t want extended litigation. We didn’t want complaints from the candidates,” said Burton Odelson, an Evergreen Park attorney. “It just wasn’t worth the effort.”

State records filed Wednesday indicate Quinn has $4.5 million in the bank for the

campaign, compared with $550 for Hardiman.

Hardiman remained undaunted.

“I will run a credible campaign. I have a lot of boots on the ground ... throughout the state,” Hardiman said. “This campaign should not come down to who has the most money. The people’s voices should be heard. It should come down to what the people want.”

Quinn’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Ohio killer’s execution takes almost 25 minutes

By ANDREW WELSH–HUGGINS The Associated Press LUCASVILLE, Ohio – A condemned man appeared to gasp several times and took an unusually long time to die – almost 25 minutes – in an execution carried out Thursday with a combination of drugs never before tried in the U.S. Dennis McGuire’s attorney, Allen Bohnert, called the convicted killer’s death “a failed, agonizing experiment” and added: “The people of the state of Ohio should be appalled at what was done here today in their names.”

An attorney for McGuire’s family said it plans to sue the state over what happened.

Dayton defense lawyer Jon Paul Rion said the family is deeply disturbed by the execution, which it believes violated his constitutional rights.

McGuire’s lawyers had at-

tempted last week to block his execution, arguing that the untried method could lead to a medical phenomenon known as air hunger and cause him to suffer “agony and terror” while struggling to catch his breath.

McGuire, 53, made loud snorting noises during one of the longest executions since Ohio resumed capital punishment in 1999. Nearly 25 minutes passed between the time the lethal drugs began flowing and McGuire was pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m.

Executions under the old method were typically much shorter and did not cause the kind of sounds McGuire made.

Ohio prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith had no comment on how the execution went but said a review will be conducted as usual.

Prison officials gave intravenous doses of two drugs, the

sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone, to put McGuire to death for the 1989 rape and fatal stabbing of a pregnant newlywed, Joy Stewart. The method was adopted after supplies of a previously used drug dried up because the manufacturer declared it off limits for capital punishment.

The execution is certain to launch a new round of federal lawsuits over Ohio’s injection procedure. The state has five more executions scheduled this year, with the next one to come on Feb. 19.

What was particularly unusual Thursday was the five minutes or so that McGuire lay motionless on the gurney after the drugs began flowing, followed by a sudden snort and then more than 10 minutes of irregular breathing and gasping. Normally, movement comes at the beginning and is followed by inactivity.

board’s attorney recommended to the board that Hardiman be allowed to remain on the ballot after finding he had collected the required number of petition signatures.

The two experts differed on the fate of Donald. Goodman recommended she be disqualified because she had moved and was not properly registered to vote in the last primary, in spring 2012.

But Sandvoss found that Donald met the criteria because federal law and state rules would have allowed Donald to cast a ballot in that election despite her moving.

Why Haven’t Neuropathy Sufferers Been Told These Facts?

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans.

Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs. This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later.

Let’s face it, your neuropathy symptoms haven’t gone away by now, it’s not likely they will disappear on their own. And it’s been shown in studies that if ignored, symptoms can intensify causing loss of sensation, unremitting pain, and even disability.

Neuropathy Treatment System Relieves Numbness & Pain Fortunately, if you are suffering from any neuropathy pain, numbness or tingling, your symptoms may be relieved or eliminated by a new treatment.

A new proven peripheral neuropathy

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution

What Other Wh Pr Professionals are saying ab about this program.

A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, antiseizure mediations, and antidepressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

Myth #2: Assuming Neuropathy is Only Found in Diabetic People Diabetic patients are not the only group to suffer with thiss condition.

Actually more neuropathy sufferers are non-diabetic than are, according to a recent 2009 study.

Here’s what the study, done by The Neuropathy Association, revealed...

“Neuropathy is often misrepresented as only being diabetes related. However, this survey demonstrates that for every diabetic neuropathy patient, there are at least six more patients suffering with various neuropathies...” - Dr. Thomas H. Brannagan, III, medical advisor for The Neuropathy Association.

Myth #3: Believing Numbness and Tingling will go away on it’s own.

One of the biggest myths people believe about their numbness, tingling, and pain is that it goes away all by itself... without any treatment. But a study on back pain in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain

Senate easily passes $1.1T spending bill

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

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

The huge bill funds every agency of government, pairing increases for NASA and Army Corps of Engineers construction projects with cuts to the Internal Revenue Service and foreign aid.

It pays for implementation of Obama’s health care law; a fight over implementing “Obamacare” sparked tea party Republicans to partially shut the government down for 16 days last October.

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

The compromise-laden legislation reflects the realities of divided power in Washington and a desire by both Democrats and Republicans for an election-year respite after three years of budget wars that had Congress and the White House lurching from crisis to crisis. Both parties looked upon the measure as a way to ease automatic spending cuts that both the Pentagon and domestic agencies had

to begin absorbing last year.

All 53 Democrats, two independents and 17 Republicans voted for the bill. The 26 votes against it were all cast

by Republicans.

Obama’s budget director, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, called the bill’s passage a positive step for the nation and the economy. “It ensures the continuation of critical services the American people depend on,” she said in a blog post.

Shortly before the final vote, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, delivered a slashing attack on Senate Democrats, accusing them of ignoring the problems caused by the health care law. “It is abundantly clear that millions of Americans are being harmed right now by this failed law,” Cruz said.

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

The 1,582-page bill was really 12 bills wrapped into one in negotiations headed by Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., and Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., respective chairmen of the House and Senate Appropriations committees, and their subcommittee lieutenants.

They spent weeks hashing out line-by-line details of a broad two-year budget accord passed in December, the first since 2009.

The bill, which cleared the House on a vote of 359-67, increases spending by about $26 billion over fiscal 2013, with most of the increase

Former Vatican Chief Prosecutor of Clerical Sexual Abuse Charles Scicluna waits Thursday for the start of questioning over clerical sexual abuse of children at the headquarters of the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland.

Vatican comes under sharp criticism over sexual abuse The ASSOCIATED PRESS GENEVA – It resembled a courtroom cross-examination, except no question was off-limits, dodging the answer wasn’t an option and the proceedings were webcast live.

After decades of accusations that its culture of secrecy contributed to priest sex abuse, the Vatican was forced for the first time Thursday to defend its record in public and at length. In a stuffy U.N. conference room before an obscure human rights committee, the Holy See was interrogated for eight hours about the scale of abuse and what it was doing to prevent it.

The Vatican was compelled to appear before the committee as a signatory to the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which requires governments to take all adequate measures to protect children from harm and ensure their interests are placed above all else.

The Holy See was one of the first states to ratify the treaty in 1990, eager to contribute the church’s experience in caring for children in Catholic schools, hospitals, orphanages and refugee centers. It submitted a first implementation report in 1994, but didn’t provide progress assessments for nearly two decades, until 2012.

By then, the clerical sex abuse scandal had exploded around the world. Thousands of priests were accused of raping and molesting thousands of children over decades, while their bishops moved them from parish to parish rather than report them to police. Critics allege the Holy See, the central government of the 1.2-billion strong Catholic Church, contributed to the problem by encouraging a culture of secrecy to protect the church’s reputation at the expense of victims.

Thursday’s exchanges were sharp at times.

“How can we address this whole systematic policy of silencing of victims?” asked committee member Benyam Mezmur, an Ethiopian academic. “There are two principles that I see are being undermined in a number of instances, namely transparency and accountability.”

Monsignor Charles Scicluna, the Vatican’s former sex crimes prosecutor, replied: “I am with you when you say that all of these nice words will not mean anything ... if there is not more transparency and accountability on the local level.”

The Vatican insisted it had little jurisdiction to sanction pedophile priests.

“Priests are not functionaries of the Vatican,” Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican’s U.N. ambassador in Geneva, told the committee.

“Priests are citizens of their own states, and they fall under the jurisdiction of their own country.”

Rauner argues he’s the only one who can compete financially • RAUNER Continued from page A1 The attacks may be the best strategy available to his three rivals, who have lagged significantly behind in fundraising. Rauner raised more than $7 million last year – a total that includes about $2 million of his own money.

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

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

But it’s uncertain who benefits from the approach.

Being singled out by the veteran lawmakers could strengthen Rauner’s image as the outsider who wants to “shake up Springfield.” And if none of the other candidates has money to break out of the

Republican primary candidate for Illinois governor state Sen. Bill Brady responds to a question Thursday during a business forum in Mount Prospect. pack, all of their efforts may just be drowned out by Rauner’s prolific messaging. Those ads – which have been running for weeks and include radio, Internet and social media in addition to TV – have focused on his plans to improve the economy, establish term limits for lawmakers and improve education.

“I don’t think any of them can get any traction as long

as Rauner is up on TV talking about hot-button issues,” O’Brien said.

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

under the right circumstances. Rauner has called the earlier stance “a mistake.”

“The Republican Party, not just Bruce Rauner, took a hit because of his position, whatever it might be, on minimum wage. It was damaging,” he told reporters after Thursday’s forum in Mount Prospect. “I had to defend the fact that Republicans don’t stand for cutting people’s wages.”

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

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

Still, Dillard didn’t miss a chance to bring up allegations, including a recent Chicago Sun-Times investigation that showed Rauner made a $250,000 contribution to an elite Chicago public school after his daughter gained admission.

Rauner’s campaign has confirmed he made the donation but said it falls in line with his other contributions to schools and had nothing to do with the admission of his

straight-A student daughter.

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

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

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

Rauner has argued he is the only candidate who will be able to compete financially in the November general election with Quinn, who faces no major challenger in the Democratic primary. Quinn raised about $1.9 million in the final three months of 2013, finishing the year with about $4.5 million.

I’m grateful for that at least,” Roberts said.

$100,000 reward for information • SON Continued from page A1 Meanwhile, Michael’s brother, Nicholas Romano, offered rewards for information about his parents’ killer.

Nicholas Romano expressed frustration with his brother, and questioned why Michael was at the home so late.

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

“I will not give up searching for answers,” Nicholas Romano said in a 2007 interview. “Somebody’s got to know something. We all want answers.”

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

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

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

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

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

The decision to present the case to a grand jury was made by the State’s Attorney’s Office, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. A criminal indictment was returned earlier this month, but it remains sealed.

Next step in traffic safety It takes teamwork to make Illinois roads safer to drive.

Automakers have done their part. Vehicles have better safety equipment. In crashes, motorists are more likely to survive.

Government has done its part. Illinois state leaders have approved billions of dollars in road repairs. Likewise, lawmakers and the governor regularly team up to enact For the record laws to improve traffic safety.

If the motorist behind the But there rewheel can adjust, fewer mains one big obcrashes, injuries and fatalities stacle to improved will result. traffic safety.

The motorist behind the wheel.

If the motorist can adjust, fewer crashes, injuries and fatalities will result.

In the past half decade, Illinois had fewer than 1,000 traffic fatalities per year.

That’s a major accomplishment, considering that as late as 1979 more than 2,000 fatalities were recorded a year. (The highest death toll was in 1941, when 2,600 people were killed.)

But from a low of 911 deaths in 2009 (the lowest death toll since 1921), the numbers have edged upward to 973, the provisional total last year.

To halt that rise, drivers should embrace all safety laws.

The newest one is a ban on drivers using hand-held cellphones. (Motorists still can talk on cellphones if they use hands-free technology.)

As of Jan. 1, first-time offenders face a $75 fine, which rises for subsequent offenses. If you rack up four violations, your driver’s license could be suspended.

State Police continue to target their “Fatal Four” infractions – speeding, no seat belts, distracted driving and driving under the influence. In recent years, tougher DUI laws have assisted in reducing drunken driving fatalities.

So far this year, the traffic safety news is good.

As of Wednesday, provisional statistics on fatal crashes for 2014 show 13 deaths, compared to 31 this time a year ago. Heavy snow and subzero conditions, which kept some drivers off the roads part of last week, likely contributed to the reduction.

Those difficult conditions didn’t last long.

That leaves it up to motorists to practice safe driving daily and put state traffic fatalities on a downward trend again.

Asian carp report proves disappointing There is a scene in the blockbuster movie “Jaws” in which an oceanographer angrily chastises the mayor of Amity for “ignoring this particular [shark] problem until it comes up and bites you in the [butt].”

Such is our reaction to yet another report about trying to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working on its study since 2009 and issued its disappointing “findings” last week. The Corps, instead of offering a viable solution to a potentially destructive menace, issued a vanilla report that provides a little something for everyone.

The Corps put forth eight options for preventing the huge carp and other invasive species from slipping between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds. The choices range from doing nothing new to an estimated $18 billion construction project to separate the two systems.

Everyone, including government leaders, scientists and environmentalists, agree swift action is needed to prevent the voracious bighead and silver carp from entering the Great Lakes and damaging the ecosystem and the $7 billion fishing industry. That is where agreement ends, however, and the Corps report is so open-ended that it likely will add to the gridlock among competing interests.

The Corps said it has met its deadline to complete the report, mandated by Congress in 2012, and that the next steps are up to federal lawmakers. That may be so, but the report offers little new for the feds to go on. The same options for controlling the carp have been in the hopper for years, yet little action has been taken.

The $200 million electric fish barriers in Chicago-area shipping canals linking Lake Michigan to the carp-infested Illinois River, a Mississippi River tributary, have worked to a limited extent, but it is only a matter of time before the carp break those barriers and begin to present serious problems. Carp DNA already have been discovered on the wrong side of the barriers.

The Corps should realize that time is not on anyone’s side in this debacle. It should have recommended a specific course of action rather than issue a one-size-fits-all rehash of previous HTR Media of Manitowoc (Wis.) reports.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Not all good in South Africa To the Editor: The U.S. could learn a lot from South Africa if it was politically correct to do so.

Apartheid ended 20 years ago so everything in Johannesburg should be, by now, close to wonderful.

Blacks and mixed races dominate the government and the military.

This dominance has led to land and housing being freely given to nonwhites. There are now quota laws that mandate blacks be hired first, especially in the realm of education.

When the statistics are analyzed: Black-on-black crime is up; homelessness is up; poverty is up; test scores in the schools are down; welfare and single-parent families are up.

In general, crime is flourishing.

Rapes occur at the rate of 360 per day. Three thousand white farmers have been murdered in the past 20 years. The total number of farmers in the nation has been reduced by 50 percent. As a result of these conditions, many South Africans are exiting stage left.

But how can this be? Why isn’t South Africa a veritable utopia?

There is an old movie called “The Adventurers” that accurately

depicts what usually happens after a governmental coup (which is a form of instant term limits).

Given enough time and left to its own devices, mankind always will have this problem, whereby even good intentions are flawed in their implementation and the resultant government becomes no better and often worse than the one it replaced.

Obama gets a pass To the Editor: Isn’t it interesting that the same media that gave President Obama a pass when he claimed to have no knowledge of the IRS, NSA, Benghazi and other scandals, not to mention the initial problems with the Affordable Care Act website, have wasted no time in criticizing New Jersey Gov. Christie for not knowing what his aides were up to.

They have deemed his apology insincere. They have called him a liar. They have called for his resignation. They consider him unfit to be president. Perhaps it’s because at least 80 percent of the journalists in this country vote Democrat, and Christie is a Republican.

Apparently some things never

change. Ever since his first run for the presidency, the media have refused to criticize Obama or hold him accountable for any actions he has taken. And he refuses to accept any blame. The arrogance of the man knows no limits.

Remember Harry Truman’s comment that “the buck stops here?”

How refreshing it would be today to have a president who accepted responsibility for things that happened on his watch, and was as interested in governing the country as he is in campaigning and giving speeches.

I’m fairly certain that that will never happen with the man presently residing in the White House.

Eliminate speed-limit signs

Barbara Klein

Frank McGurn

Woodstock

McHenry

To the Editor: I have been reading that the Northwest Herald is right up to the minute with news about new speed-limit signs.

Why? Nobody cares whether there are signs or not. The Illinois State Police, local police and drivers don’t read the signs or don’t pay any attention to what they say.

So why waste money on the signs?

The traffic is moving at 80 to 90 mph. Or it moves, in some areas, at 5 mph. So eliminate the signs that state the minimum of 40 mph.

The state could save some money on signs and the labor to install them. Also cut police officers.

They will have less to do.

Clinton’s non-campaign needs someone in charge The hottest story in U.S. politics last week, at least before the implosion of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, was an article in Politico detailing Hillary Clinton’s shadow 2016 presidential campaign.

On one level, it should make Democrats feel good. She hasn’t made a final decision, but she is preparing and planning. She is making sure she understands the rules, dates and modern news media, a lesson from her unsuccessful 2008 run, when her campaign didn’t master any of this.

Almost every Democratic strategist, activist or fundraiser seems eager to jump on the Hillary bandwagon. There are even dueling super political action committees.

This picture – of a Washington and establishment-heavy machine with inevitable and outsize factions and frictions – should raise caution flags.

There are the angles. Jim Messina, President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign chief, wants in; just don’t tell Vice President Joe Biden. The Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg wants to be the chief money man; other fat cats are clamoring to get in as long as Mark

VIEWS Albert R. Hunt Penn, the discredited campaign czar of the failed Clinton presidential quest, isn’t around.

A Clinton confidant worries the Hillary machine is like a huge, luxury ocean liner that has collected lots of barnacles.

Given the crazy-quilt presidential-election system, it isn’t premature to plan for 2016; the process is interminable.

There are a few certainties even this early: It is very likely that she will run; one smart Clintonite puts the odds at 80 percent. If she is in, Biden probably won’t be, and neither will be Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren or any other prominent woman; the Democratic sisterhood is vested in the former secretary of state. It’s impossible to envision an Obama-like outsider in this cycle; then again, few envisioned candidate Obama eight years ago. It’s silly to even speculate about a general election.

One lesson from Clinton’s previous run is that you can’t

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

corner a nomination, you have to capture it. That might not be possible without a first-class infrastructure; that alone won’t do it.

Also, at some stage, as one senator put it, she has to be today’s news. Political résumés, even those as impressive as Clinton’s, don’t win presidential elections. The last three elected presidents had limited national and almost no international experience.

There are challenges to trying to be today’s news. Like George H.W. Bush in 1988, Clinton has to differentiate herself from a sitting president who is popular within his own party.

When there isn’t an incumbent, the race is about capturing the mantle of change. Clinton and her campaign never got that last time.

She has time to think about these matters. And there’s no shortage of advice, a cacophony of conflicting voices. That’s a problem.

She and her husband are different people. She is more disciplined. He is more freewheeling. He seems to have a million confidantes. She has a tight core of loyalists.

In 2007, she picked the wrong

people to run her campaign, and it cost her. This time, she can ill afford to repeat that mistake or have a campaign run by committee.

She needs to select someone like Stephanie Schriock, the president of Emily’s List, a high powered group that supports pro-abortion-rights Democratic women candidates, or Robby Mook, a young Clinton operative who successfully directed Terry McAuliffe’s gubernatorial run in Virginia. There are several other possibilities; it needs to be someone versed in modern politics, who can take control and prepare for a bitter campaign.

This necessity is a lesson of the late spring of 1992 when a presidential candidate named Clinton was struggling toward the nomination; all his associates seemed to have a piece of the action, requiring a high-level conference call with more than a score of participants.

An intervention ensued.

James Carville was put in charge. Bill Clinton was elected president. The person who ordered that change was Hillary Clinton.

Island Lake seeks pension fix President says village committed to paying back police fund

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – Paying back the nearly $400,000 owed to the Island Lake police pension fund may involve lawsuits, cutting expenses and possibly laying off a village employee, the village president said.

“The last resort would be to raise taxes,” Village President Charlie Amrich said

after a meeting dedicated to the issue Thursday evening.

“I refuse to do that. Somehow we’ll figure out a way to get through this.”

The Village Board is working with the police pension board to repay the money that was originally levied for the police pension but was instead spent on village expenses, including skyrocketing legal fees and settlements, according to a

presentation made last year by the village’s new auditor.

A written proposal needs to be made to and accepted by the pension board, village attorney David McArdle said. Otherwise, the pension board could sue the village.

State law also allows the pension board to notify the state comptroller of the missing payments. The comptroller would then, starting in fiscal 2016, pay the pension

fund the amount owed using state funds originally intended for the municipality.

The particulars of the agreement between the Village Board and the police pension board will be worked out over the next couple months as the village puts together its budget, said Trustee Keith Johns, who also serves as the Finance Committee chairman.

The board also is waiting on

final numbers from the auditors.

“We are working on this diligently,” Johns told the residents during the meeting Thursday. “I have had multiple meetings with this person, that person, every person. We have looked at this thing up and down. We are 100 percent doing what we can to get this paid back.”

MCC board can’t agree on expansion Algonquin Trustees at odds over proposed health science and fitness facility plan looking to “I’m not ready to accept the idea that we need additional building space. I think we need to refinance know whether we are optimizing our current building space.” old bonds

By JEFF ENGELHARDT

jengelhardt@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – The new year brought the same problems for McHenry County College as the board of trustees continues to struggle to come to an agreement on the scope of a project that has now been years in the making.

A proposed expansion of health science and fitness facilities was debated again by trustees, some of whom voiced frustration over the group “spinning their wheels” on the issue and others who suggested another study to look at more alternatives.

Trustees debated the

Ron Parrish

Chairman of MCC Board of Trustees issue much of last year, rejecting a 43,000-squarefoot facility proposal that would have cost the college more than $40 million but never settling on a comprised size or cost of the project.

Chairman Ron Parrish suggested this week that the board commission another study to look at ways

to optimize education delivery and possibly retrofit existing space to meet the needs of health science programs while moving other subjects such as history primarily online.

Some trustees shot down the idea, saying faceto-face education is still important while others did not want to spend money

on another study after a roughly $57,000 study produced proposals the board might not even approve.

“I’m not ready to accept the idea that we need additional building space,” Parrish said. “I think we need to know whether we are optimizing our current building space.”

The board also discussed funding the future project for the first time with Trustee Mary Miller suggesting that 40 percent of the resources could come from the foundation and donors, 10 to 15 percent from college revenues and the rest in a referendum.

If enough parents agree to pay, the collected fees also would help replace older tablets in future years, Altmayer said.

But some board members questioned how the district would administer and manage the protection program.

Administrators said they still are creating procedures for the program but wanted direction from the board since kindergarten registration starts in February.

D-158 offers tablet protection fee for parents Insurance would cover all repairs and damage if broken

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – District 158 parents can now guard against broken tablets brought home by their kids for a small annual fee and save on repair costs, the district board decided Thursday.

Administrators proposed the voluntary, $25

annual protection fee after hearing concerns from parents about paying hefty repair costs for dropped or damaged tablets. The $500 digital machines have replaced textbooks in some schools for the last two years.

“A $50 textbook is a little less risk than having a $500 tablet,” Superintendent John Burkey said.

“What we are proposing to do with this is essentially offer tablet insurance for families.”

Nearly 6,000 students from Huntley District 158

are expected to be using tablets by the upcoming school year. The district started the digital transformation at Martin Elementary last school year and have since expanded the tablets to its elementary and middle schools.

The $25 insurance fee would cover all repairs and damage to a student’s tablet. Only 3 percent of the district’s total supply have needed repairs since officials started converting to tablets, said Chief Financial Officer Mark Altmayer.

McHENRY COUNTY: FAITHBRIDGE EVENT

Annual prayer breakfast to honor MLK’s legacy Congregational group hoping to bring people of different faiths together, promote cooperation

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – People of all faiths have the opportunity to come together Monday morning and reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. FaithBridge, a group of various congregations in McHenry County that promotes mutual

understanding between religious communities, will host its fifth annual MLK Prayer Breakfast at 7:30 a.m. inside D’Andrea Banquets, 4419 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

The event is intended to bring people of different faiths together, much like the work of Martin Luther King Jr., said Rev. Anne S. Muelleman, who

helped organize the event.

“FaithBridge believes in fostering cooperation between organizations and people,” Muelleman said. “Martin Luther King certainly was an example of that.”

Plemon T. El-Amin, the Imam Emeritus of the Masjid of Al-Islam mosque in Atlanta, will keynote this year’s prayer

8LOCAL BRIEF

The prayer breakfast also will feature prayers and music from various faiths. This year’s theme for the event is called “My Dreams for the World,” and attendees are encouraged to share their dreams during the event, Muelleman said.

FaithBridge also conducted an essay contest for the first time. Nearly 100 area middle

schoolers submitted papers that addressed the event’s theme. The winner will read their essay near the start of the prayer breakfast.

Tickets still are available for the event and cost $20 for adults and $15 for students.

People interested in attending should contact Muelleman at revannes@sbcglobal.net.

Legal ways of recouping funds under discussion • PENSION Continued from page B1 He hopes the board will be able to put together an agreement that doesn’t involve cutting services, adding that he doesn’t think that’s fair to the residents who use those programs or the employees who work them.

The board also has been discussing possible legal avenues to recoup some of the funds.

Amrich declined to comment further, but he did add that the manager’s letter from the auditing firm did not mention the fact that the pension was being underfunded or in some years, not funded at all.

Echoing the frustrations expressed by residents over the last few months, some meeting attendees called for the resignation or termination of Finance Director John Little or the trustees who were on the board at the time of the missing payments.

“If you were involved in this thing then those of you that were sitting up there during that period of time and let this get away from you make Larry, Moe and Curly look like MIT graduates,” resident Don Saville said. “This should have never happened.”

When asked why Little was still in his position, Amrich said, “There’s several reasons that he’s still there,

and one of the things is there is so much to that job and that position and to… I don’t know what I want to say here. I’ve got to be careful here. If you got rid of somebody that had taken care of all the finances in the village or whatever it is, a company, and they walk away, you don’t know what’s what.”

Amrich also disputed that some former Village Board members didn’t know about the misappropriation, adding that he thinks some people are backpedaling now.

Little told the Northwest Herald in October that he had not notified the Village Board during a public meeting about the shortfalls and did not know if he had notified them some other way.

$42 million of deferred maintenance still remains • EXPANSION Continued from page B1 President Vicky Smith said she was confident a donation campaign could raise at least 50 percent of the project cost as one benefactor already indicated a seven-figure gift could come.

Still, the idea of any referendum, let alone one that would cover as much as 30 to 40 percent of the cost, seemed far-fetched to other trustees, including Tom Wilbeck.

“We have to insulate that funding source as much as possible if not entirely,” Wilbeck said. “I don’t think [a referendum] is going to fly.”

While college officials eye an expansion, there is still $42 million of deferred maintenance that must be addressed.

Smith presented trustees with a series of increases in tuition and fees that would take the rate from the existing $102 per credit hour to $124 in a three-year period. The rate would include a new $5 infrastructure fee to address the

maintenance.

But that proposal also failed to gain full consensus as Trustee Molly Walsh voiced opposition and Wilbeck questioned whether there was a tipping point that would drive students away.

“I’ve done this for 14 years and every time I’ve run the data it shows that when you raise the tuition the demand does not decrease because of the value that is associated with an education,” said Robert Tenuta, chief financial officer for the college.

Board members approved protection fee with 5-1 vote • PROTECTION Continued from page B1 Board President Don Drzal said the fee even seemed unfair to parents who would be introduced to tablets for the first time this year, although he noted that parents ultimately have the option to pay for the protection.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not relevant,” member Tony Quaglia-

breakfast. El-Amin has traveled to places like Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, England and South Africa to represent interfaith followers and Muslim Americans’ interests.

The Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam is one of the largest and most progressive mosques in the United States, Muelleman said.

no told Drzal. “[The fee] is a positive option that provides peace of mind to our community ... to protect them against some high potential of cost.”

Members approved the protection fee, 5-1, with Drzal voting against it. The vote also kept general registration fees for the 2014-15 school year flat for parents. Elementary school parents will still pay $173 total to register their student for school. Middle school parents

will pay $218, while high school parents will pay $228 in registration fees.

The sluggish economy and the fact that District 158’s fees are higher than other area school districts convinced district officials to keep the fees flat, Altmayer said.

“We understand where we are at in this economy, and we don’t feel it’s appropriate to increase fees for the parents,” he said.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County government and other area providers are looking for feedback from county residents on quality of life issues.

A survey that will be available on the county health department’s website, mcdh. info, from Jan. 25 to Feb. 15 will ask respondents to rate the quality and availability of services, including public transportation, walking and biking paths, jobs, safe neighborhoods, health care and insurance options.

One “glaring” problem that earlier studies conducted

in 2006 and 2010 helped identify was that residents weren’t sure how to access services, health department spokeswoman Debra Quackenbush said.

That led to the development of the 2-1-1 information and referral hotline, which went live this past April.

Information from the upcoming survey will be used by a partnership of 18 organizations to develop action plans aimed at obesity, cardiovascular issues, dental care, mental health and substance abuse, Quackenbush said.

Survey answers are confidential and anonymous, according to a health department news release.

In addition to the online survey, which can be found by visiting mcdh.info and following the “Healthy McHenry” link after Jan. 25, paper versions of the survey will be available in English and Spanish. Respondents also will be provided with a prestamped and addressed envelope.

Residents don’t need to be users of health and human services to respond to the survey.

The results will be presented at a community forum at McHenry County College from 9 a.m. to noon May 21.

Any questions can be directed to healthymchenry@ gmail.com or to Quackenbush at 815-334-4456.

Village received highest bond rating possible in 2013 • BONDS Continued from page B1 bonds continue to be historically low, according to a staff memo written by Finance Director Jack Walde.

Assistant to the Village Manager Mike Kumbera said the village annually abates property taxes that would be needed to pay off the debt. In-

stead the village has relied on sales tax revenue to pay off the debt.

In December, the village refinanced $7.7 million in bonds to obtain lower interest rates.

That move will save the village $638,000 over the life of the bonds. Those bonds were used for the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant, which took place in 2005.

During that process, the

village had its bond rating upgraded to AAA by Standard and Poor’s Rating Service.

The AAA rating is the highest rating possible.

S&P said the village had very strong budget flexibility, strong management with good financial policies and practices and very strong budgetary performance, among other things. Previously the village’s bond rating was AA+.

DeKALB COUNTY: CANADIAN FOLK ENSEMBLE

Arts Midwest tour brings music to DeKalb County Le Vent du Nord provides students with a taste of Quebec folk music; public concert scheduled

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS

If you go

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

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

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

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

The first group that visited, Baladino, was from Israel, Carlson said. This fall, Shan-

From left: Sean Connors, Matt Petersen, Cristina Baca and Band Director Steve Ludin learn the stomping percussion method Tuesday used by the French-Canadian folk group Le Vent du Nord at DeKalb High School.

A public concert will be held at the high school Saturday at 7 p.m. gri-la will visit from China, followed by Paulo Padilha and Group from Brazil in spring 2015.

Arts Midwest gives preference to communities where 3M has a presence, because the company is a major sponsor, Carlson said. He said he reached out to Rich Holly, dean of the NIU College of Vi-

sual and Performing Arts, and District 428 Superintendent Jim Briscoe.

Holly said the cooperative effort has been a blessing.

Local funds have been provided by the DeKalb County Community Foundation, Castle Bank, NB&T, the DeKalb Music Boosters and Michael Embry’s FunMe.

“So far, we’re doing OK financially,” Holly said. “The cooperative effort has been strong.”

The program strives to “take the music to the people,” Carlson said.

“And we hope, over the course of the week to show the cool stuff that musicians do and that we have stuff in

common with people all over the world,” Carlson said.

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

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

Considered a driving force in progressive Quebecois folk music, Le Vent du Nord captures the fun and energy of a Saturday night kitchen party, taking traditional Quebec music and infusing it with a fresh air.

Ensemble member Olivier Demers said each band has its own take on traditional music.

“It’s the melody with words,” Demers said. “The

way you dress it up is up to each band. You can give the same tune to each band and it will sound very different.”

Some of the instruments they play – like the hurdygurdy or the bouzouki – are self-taught.

“I was already a trained musician when I taught myself to play the hurdy-gurdy,” said Nicolas Boulerice, who also plays traditional keyboards.

Demers plays the violin and provides the foot tapping, the traditional percussion.

Rejean Brunet plays the bass guitar and the accordion. The fourth member, Simon Beaudry, plays the guitar and bouzouki. All four play more instruments than the ones they play during the workshops.

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

DeKalb High School juniors Jake McArtor and Katie Arndt enjoyed the Tuesday morning workshop.

“It’s refreshing to hear different kinds of music live,” McArtor said.

“This program allows us to see things we never would have been able to see,” Arndt said.

AURORA: MONDAY SHOOTING

Former Bolingbrook coach accused of recruiting to new team

Joliet brothers charged in Aurora murder case

the state for Class 4A schools in The Associated Press’ latest rankings. The team beat Bolingbrook on Tuesday, ending a Bolingbrook conference winning streak that dated back to 2006.

That winning streak was started by Smith, now Homewood-Flossmoor’s head coach. Smith was Bolingbrook’s head coach until he left to join Homewood-Flossmoor.

The suit accuses Smith of recruiting the Bolingbrook students he worked with last year, promising help in college recruitment and starting positions, according to the Chicago Tribune’s report. Recruiting for athletic

purposes is prohibited by Illinois High School Association rules.

But Marty Hickman, the executive director of the IHSA, said in a news release issued Thursday that the organization is not currently investigating Homewood-Flossmoor.

“The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) provided eligibility rulings on each of the transfer students at Homewood-Flossmoor High School who have been referenced in the ongoing litigation,” the statement reads.

“All were granted eligibility in regards to the IHSA residence and transfer bylaws.”

The statement said that the “IHSA retains the right to open an investigation at any time and could do so if any information is presented that indicates IHSA bylaws may have been violated.”

Bolingbrook girls varsity coach Chris Smith said he’s a personal friend of the Homewood-Flossmoor coach.

“I don’t feel like he did anything, but that’s not my call or decision,” Chris Smith said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com FLOSSMOOR – Former Bolingbrook coach Tony Smith is reported to be the target of a lawsuit accusing him of recruiting girls from his old team and Plainfield to play for Homewood-Flossmoor High School, where he now coaches.

Smith declined to comment Thursday on the allegations, which came from an unnamed player on the Homewood-Flossmoor High School girls’ basketball team.

Homewood-Flossmoor High School had not received a copy of the lawsuit, a spokeswoman said Thursday.

“We’re aware of a lawsuit and will fully cooperate with any investigative authority,” spokeswoman Jodi Bryant said.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com AURORA – Two Joliet brothers have been charged with murder in the Monday night shooting of a man inside an Aurora restaurant.

Jaquan D. Hosey-Green, 19, and Dimitri J. Hosey- Jaquan D. G r e e n , 1 8 , Hosey-Green each face one count of first-degree murder.

They are accused of killing Arin T. Williams, 20, Dimitri J. who was shot Hosey-Green once in the head during a fight between the three men in the bathroom of La Torta, a Mexican restaurant in the 800 block of North Lake Street, according to police.

The Kane County State’s

Attorney’s office filed the charges late Wednesday night. The two Joliet men had been in custody since Tuesday afternoon. Both brothers live in the 1200 block of Fairfield.

The brothers went with Williams to the restaurant “under the guise of purchasing drugs from the victim,” according to a statement from Aurora police. “When the three went into a restroom, the two suspects began to beat Williams in an attempt to rob him.”

Police said Dimitri Hosey-Green allegedly shot Williams during the fight, and the two brothers then ran to a relative’s apartment near the restaurant. Police said they believe a relative drove the two brothers to Joliet. But they were traced to Cicero, where they were arrested Tuesday afternoon at Cermak and Cicero avenues.

Bond was set Thursday morning at $1.5 million for Dimitri and $1 million for Jaquan.

United to furlough 688 flight attendants The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – United Airlines plans to furlough 688 flight attendants after it didn’t get enough of them to take a voluntary buyout.

The airline has been shrinking a little, and it announced last year that it is aiming to cut $2 billion in annual expenses. It has offered voluntary buyouts to flight attendants and some ground workers were offered early retirement.

At the same time, it is still operating what amounts to two separate airlines since the 2010 merger with Continental.

Flight attendants still fly separately on the planes that came from those two airlines.

The airline has had more flight attendants who came from the United side than it needs, spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Continental side hired 485 flight attendants last year.

United has been offering voluntary furloughs, but many flight attendants who took those in recent years are now coming back, McCarthy said. The new, involuntary furloughs take effect in April and are open-ended.

Besides the furloughs, United has eliminated about 1,250 flight attendant positions through voluntary buyouts or job shares, McCarthy said.

A United Airlines employee staffs a ticketing counter at San Francisco International Airport. United Airlines said it will furlough 688 flight attendants after it didn’t get enough people to take a voluntary buyout.

The airline employs about 25,000 flight attendants.

Flying capacity at the combined airline is down 3 percent since 2010, not counting regional partners.

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA said it offered ideas to reduce the need for furloughs.

“What it comes down to is simply the promise of United’s

merger not being realized,” said Greg Davidowitch, the head of the union at United.

United also said Thursday that about 1,200 ground workers and pilots volunteered for early retirement at the end of last year, at a cost of about $64 million during the fourth quarter.

Shares of Chicago-based United Continental Holdings Inc. rose 71 cents to close at $47.21.

Landfill to help pay medical bills after leak

Man found in field may have left hospital

Prophetstown still recovering after fire

2 arrested in Lake County air conditioner thefts

SYCAMORE – Waste Management landfill officials say they’ll help pay medical bills after an odor from their landfill sickened more than 60 students, teachers and staff at a Cortland school.

Dale Hoekstra, director of operators for the Illinois/ Missouri Valley post collection operations for Waste Management, said the landfill is putting together a plan to prevent the incident from happening again.

The dozens of people and children were sent to the hospital Tuesday morning from Cortland Elementary School outside DeKalb. Doctors say they were treated for low levels of carbon monoxide exposure.

Hoekstra says the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency inspected the site Wednesday.

Results from that inspection are not yet available.

BOLINGBROOK – Authorities say a frozen body found this week in a Bolingbrook field may belong to a man who disappeared after leaving a hospital in early November.

The remains were found Tuesday by a surveyor who discovered the body near Interstate 55.

Bolingbrook Police Lt. Mike Rompa told the Joliet Herald-News that the man checked himself out of Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital “against the medical staff’s advice” on Nov. 10. He left on foot and was later reported missing by a friend.

The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights reports an autopsy will be performed later this week.

Bolingbrook is about 25 miles southwest of Chicago.

PROPHETSTOWN – Six months after a fire destroyed a swath of the northern Illinois community’s downtown, officials in Prophetstown say they’re still recovering from the massive blaze.

Mayor Steve Swanson tells WNIJ Radio rebuilding work is expected to be underway by May after a lengthy cleanup.

The July blaze destroyed eight buildings in the Whiteside County community, many of which were 150 years old.

Authorities say the fire was set in a recycling bin behind a restaurant. Two half-brothers are facing more than a dozen charges in juvenile court.

Swanson says the residents in the city of about 2,000 are “just looking ahead now, we aren’t going to look behind us.”

The mayor says he hopes the buildings will be designed to blend in with the rest of the historic downtown.

WAUKEGAN – Authorities in Lake County say they’ve arrested two people suspected of stealing dozens of commercial air conditioners.

In a news release, the county sheriff’s department says two Wildwood residents — 36-year-old Kevin Blottiaux and 37-year-old Ricki Lucas — have confessed to the thefts, allowing detectives to clear 68 thefts of air conditioners between October and mid-December of last year. The department says the two were stealing air conditioners worth a total of more than $100,000 and selling them to area recycling companies for scrap.

They say the thefts ended when the two were caught stealing an air conditioner from a glass company in Waukegan.

Each man faces multiple counts of theft. Lucas’ bail was set at $50,000 and Blottiaux’s was set at $100,000.

Lt. Gov. Simon launches military base study

Officials urge preparation for emergencies

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ lieutenant governor is launching an economic impact study about the state’s military bases.

The study aims to calculate the economic impact of the state’s military bases in order to help protect them from federal cuts.

Carbondale Democrat Sheila Simon says shifting national budget priorities threaten bases around the state.

The study will be commissioned by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce Foundation and with the state’s Interagency Military Base Support and Economic Development Committee.

Simon said bidding for the project will begin shortly. She expects the study to be completed by October.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials are urging residents to “Resolve to Be Ready” in 2014 for potential emergency situations.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency will make that easier to do by offering tips on preparedness and safety topics each month.

IEMA Director Jonathon Monken says Illinois residents have been through flooding, tornadoes, wind and snowstorms and extreme cold in the last year.

He says no one can stop them, but people can minimize their impact by being prepared.

Monthly topics include earthquakes, severe and winter weather, pet preparation, school and campus safety and cybersecurity.

“What it comes down to is simply the promise of United’s merger not being realized.”

8STATE BRIEFS

Texas drug trafficker sentenced to 30 years DEL RIO, Texas – A convicted drug trafficker in South Texas has been sentenced to 30 years in prison in a cocaine case with links to Illinois, Florida and Missouri.

A federal judge in Del Rio on Wednesday sentenced 27-year-old Lauro Beltran of San Antonio. Beltran also forfeited more than $578,000 found in a vehicle he was driving during his March 2011 arrest in Missouri.

A jury last July convicted Beltran of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. Prosecutors say Beltran was involved in a ring that distributed more than 300 pounds of cocaine since 2011.

Investigators say Beltran recruited carriers to move cocaine from Mexico into the U.S. for distribution in areas including Chicago and Miami.

Bribery trial delayed for Chicago Democrat CHICAGO – A Chicago federal judge has delayed the bribery trial of state Rep. Derrick Smith after prosecutors said they needed time to locate phone records.

The matter arose at a status hearing Thursday, less than two weeks before the Democrat’s trial was set to begin.

Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman expressed frustration with both sides that the issue arose at the last minute.

Smith has pleaded not guilty to taking a $7,000 bribe in exchange for recommending a state grant to help a day care center.

Smith’s attorney, Victor Henderson, says he only recently learned of the existence of several cellphones that may be relevant to the case. But prosecutors say they may need more than several weeks to local the phone records.

Coleman tentatively set May 28 as the new trial date.

PURSUIT OF PERFECTION

Huntley sophomore Kyle Sieb wears a Randy Moss jersey Monday as he bowls at Bowl-Hi Lanes in Huntley. Neither Sieb nor any of his teammates has bowled a 300 game.

Bowlers strive for elusive 300 game

HUNTLEY – To the west, past the clustered neighborhoods and the frozen farmland and the sprawling high school, the sun is setting.

The next morning’s sunrise will mark the first day of final exams.

The tests will stretch for three class days in all, a high-stakes conclusion to more than four months of work.

Studying will happen later tonight.

Because now is the time for bowling.

Have you ever bowled a perfect game? Have you ever gripped a ball,

GATORADE ILLINOIS BOYS CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER OF THE YEAR

VIEWS Tom Musick squared your shoulders, timed your steps and nailed 12 consecutive strikes for a perfect 300?

No one on the Huntley Red Raiders’ boys bowling team has achieved the milestone. Some of their peers around McHenry County have done so, including Woodstock co-op’s Tyler Busch on Jan. 9,

but the feat has proved elusive for Huntley.

At least, for now.

Perhaps Wednesday would be the day. Perhaps here, atop the grooved, oiled surfaces and beneath the dim lighting of Bowl-Hi Lanes, someone will create a lifelong memory.

The Red Raiders hosted Woodstock co-op, and both teams wanted to do well as the regional competition approaches. In front of a smattering of parents, a half-dozen bowlers from each school rolled

three games apiece, and each team’s combined total (keeping the top five scores while dropping the lowest) determined the winner.

If the process sounds complicated, that’s OK, don’t worry about it.

Just know this.

Each bowler wants to be perfect.

ON THE RIGHT PATH Huntley sophomore Brandon Anzalone is off to a fast start in his second game.

JOHNSBURG – With one win on his resume and getting put on his back two times in the first period, no one expected a comeback from Johnsburg’s Jarett Wolff in his match Thursday against Crystal Lake Central.

Wolff went further in the hole and got put on his back again to start the second period in his 145-pound match.

But after getting an escape, Wolff took down and pinned Amelio Acevedo in 3:29.

That pin was a critical turning point in the match for the Skyhawks, who recorded six pins to win, 36-33, and hand the Tigers their first Fox Valley Conference Fox Division loss of the season.

Wolff said he had some hope going into the second

“It just kind of happened,” Wolff said. “I was very con-

fident. I knew I was going to win.”

Getting his second varsity win was big for Wolff, but helping his team win was even bigger.

“It means a lot for the

team,” Wolff said. “We all work very hard.”

First-year Johnsburg coach Jon Murphy said Wolff, a senior, has wrestled mostly on junior varsity but has been an important part of the team. “[Wolff’s] the only kid in this entire program that’s been here four years,” Murphy said. “He’s battling to stay on the team. He believes in the process of what we’re doing.”

Another unlikely winner for the Skyhawks was Brandon Hasenbuhler, who got a pin at 120. Hasenbuhler was originally scheduled to wrestle at 113, where he would have received a forfeit. The Tigers’ Brandon Tomasello was scheduled to receive a forfeit at 120.

NIU’s Lynch invited to NFL scouting combine

Baseball OKs use of more replay in 2014

By BOB BAUM The Associated Press PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The NFL, NBA, NHL, some NCAA sports and major tennis tournaments all use a form of replay, and even FIFA and the English Premier League have adopted goal-line technology for soccer.

Not that managers won’t still occasionally bolt from the dugout, their veins bulging.

The so-called “neighborhood play” at second base on double plays cannot be challenged. Many had safety concerns for middle infielders being wiped out by hard-charging runners if the phantom force was subject to review.

Ball-and-strike calls can’t be contested. Neither can check-swings and foul tips.

Nor can obstruction and interference rulings – those are up to the umpires’ judgment, like the one at third base in Game 3 of the World Series in October that sent St. Louis over Boston.

All reviews will be done by current MLB umpires at a replay center in MLB.com’s New York office. To create a large enough staff, MLB agreed to hire six new big league umpires and call up two minor league umps for the entire season. A seventh major league umpire will be added to replace the late Wally Bell.

The umpires on the field will be able to talk to the command center. The replay umpire will make the final decision – that could include where to place runners if, say, a call is reversed from out to safe on a trapped ball in outfield.

In addition, managers and others in the dugout will be allowed to communicate by phone with someone in the clubhouse who can watch the

Ramped-up replay Major League Baseball expanded its instant replay system Thursday, with owners, players and umpires approving sweeping changes in how close calls will be reviewed.

A look at the new way of putting extra eyes on the umps: WHAT CAN BE REVIEWED? Most every call on the field, except balls-and-strikes and checked swings. A notable exception is the “neighborhood play” at second base on potential double plays. There might be times when runners are called out, even if middle infielders aren’t quite on the bag with the ball – there were safety concerns from many about the danger of hard slides wiping out shortstops and second basemen who linger too long.

HOW CAN A CALL BE CONTESTED? Each manager will be allowed at least one challenge a game.

No need to toss any NFL-style red flags, a manager merely tells the crew chief he wants another look.

If the manager is right, he gets one more challenge. If a manager runs out of challenges, the crew chief can decide on his own to review a call starting in the seventh inning.

WHO MAKES THE CALL? Current MLB umpires will staff a replay command center at MLB. com’s office in New York. They will check the TV angles and make the final decision. They also will decide where to reset the runners if, for example, a call is reversed from out to safe on a near catch in the outfield. And once a replay decision is made, it cannot be argued.

WHEN DOES IT TAKE EFFECT? This year, although it may not be used when the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks open the regular season with a two-game series in Sydney, Australia. The replay rules will remain through the end of the World Series. The players’ union has given its approval for 2014 and will review it for beyond next season.

ANY OTHER TWEAKS? Managers and others will now be allowed to talk on the dugout phone to someone in the clubhouse who can watch the video feed and advise whether to challenge a call – that was a no-no in the past. Stadium video boards also can show replays of any close play, regardless of whether it is reviewed.

ANYTHING ELSE EXEMPT? Obstruction and interference calls are still subject to an umpire’s judgment. That was last seen in October when Allen Craig of the Cardinals was awarded home plate after tangling with Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks, ending Game 3 of the World Series.

WHAT’S NEXT? With MLB joining the NFL, NBA, NHL, Grand Slam tennis and soccer’s English Premier League in ramping up replay, baseball will turn its attention to banning home plate collisions. There are expectations that guidelines will be in place this season.

– The Associated Press videos and advise whether to challenge a call.

“I’m excited to see how it works out. I am interested to see how the flow of the game is affected,” Oakland catcher Stephen Vogt said. “It’s a good use of the technology that we have, the fact that we will be able to get more calls corrected and fixed.”

Blackhawks center Andrew Shaw celebrates his tying goal during the third period Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche at the United Center.

BLACKHAWKS

Still proving himself Shaw looks comfortable as 2nd-line center

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Andrew Shaw’s story, told and retold countless times during his dizzying rise from afterthought to NHL stalwart, is all about persistence and peskiness in the face of doubters and opponents alike.

Twice passed over in the NHL draft, too small to make an impact, too tough a lineup to crack – none of it stopped Shaw from becoming a 22-year-old with a $4 million contract and his name on the Stanley Cup, a streak of blood forever oozing out of his obliterated right cheek in Blackhawks lore.

So who’s going to tell him he can’t become a top-six forward on the most offensively gifted team in the league, a guy who could be the answer Patrick Kane and Joel Quenneville have been looking for at second-line center?

Actually, for the Hawks’ sake, maybe somebody should tell him that.

“I’ve always hated being told what to do,” Shaw said.

“So I kind of just try to make my way by proving people wrong.”

Two games into Quenneville’s latest second-line experiment, Shaw is looking quite comfortable between Kane and Brandon Saad. After posting one goal and no assists in his previous 13 games

Next for the Hawks Anaheim at Hawks, 7 p.m. Friday, CSN+, NHLN, AM-720 as the third line foundered, Shaw has a goal in each game, plus an assist.

Shaw is known more for his scrappy play and antagonistic style, but with 13 goals, 11 assists and a permanent home on the Hawks’ top power play unit, he’s proving offensive in more ways than one.

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

That said, with Kane on his right wing and Saad on his left, it’s not Shaw’s job to score goals. His job is to do the dirty work in the corners to fetch them the puck, to crash the net and clean up their rebounds, and to focus on defense so they don’t have to. His job isn’t to score points, it’s to allow Kane and Saad to score points. Whatever he gets is a bonus.

“It kind of jells well,” Saad said. “Even though he’s not the typical playmaking center, he still can make plays.

And playing with playmakers

like Kane, it helps both of us with him working hard and going to the net.”

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

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

“Real short leash,” he said. “I can’t take the foot off the gas. I’ve got to keep going and keep pushing myself, and keep improving game in and game out.”

Minnesota QB Nelson intends to transfer MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota quarterback Philip Nelson says he intends to transfer to another school that runs an offense “that centers more around the passing game.”

The sophomore made the surprise announcement Thursday when he first released the statement to KFXN-FM in Minneapolis.

Nelson completed 50.5 percent of his passes for 1,306 yards with nine touchdowns and six interceptions last season. He also rushed for 364 yards and six touchdowns while sharing quarterback duties with Mitch Leidner.

Marian Central graduate Chris Streveler, another Minnesota quarterback, sat out the 2013 season and will be a redshirt freshman in 2014.

Nelson played poorly in the Texas Bowl loss to Syracuse, going 2 for 7 for 18 yards.

Price, Rays agree to $14 million, 1-year deal ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Now that Tampa Bay’s David Price is slated to earn the biggest single-season salary in Rays history, the three-time All-Star hopes he remains part of the budget-minded franchise’s plans for 2014.

The team announced Thursday that the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner agreed to a $14 million, one-year deal. However, the agreement doesn’t eliminate the possibility of a trade.

CUBS

Tanaka will be talk of convention

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

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

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

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

In fact, breathless national reports via Twitter and blogs Thursday overshot the Cubs’ likelihood of hanging with the big-spending favorites in New York and Los Angeles in the process, especially when the Dodgers reminded the world of their willingness to spend by giving ace Clayton Kershaw a record-setting contract extension this week – after dealing with the same agent representing Tanaka.

The Cubs, meanwhile, have set aside a sizeable chunk of

Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch has been invited to the NFL scouting combine, according to Huskiewire.com.

Between 15 and 25 quarterbacks are typically invited to the combine, according to numbers on NFLCombine.net. Sixteen were invited in 2014.

The combine runs from Feb. 22 to 25 in Indianapolis and will be aired on the NFL Network.

Quarterbacks are scheduled to work out Feb. 23.

Lynch, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, is working out for Saturday’s East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla., which will air at 3 p.m. on the NFL Network. Lynch told Huskiewire that he has worked exclusively as a quarterback during practices there.

Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka throws to the San Francisco Giants during an exhibition game March 14 in Scottsdale, Ariz. their middle-of-the-pack payroll budget to stay in the Tanaka hunt, sacrificing possible acquisitions early in the offseason to have the wherewithal to make a serious run.

But how serious when it comes to competing with the Dodgers and the pitching-desperate Yankees? The front office, according to sources, is making its strongest bid, based on the limits placed by a debt-strung, skittish-to-spend ownership.

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

The new $20 million posting ceiling for Japanese players is one of the reasons the Cubs even have a chance, with the

ability to postpone payment of up to $6.6 million of it into next year’s budget.

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

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

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

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

“The points to him were that we’re a club that is on the upside. We’re a club that has a lot of talent besides the guys that we have presently, that the organization has a lot of quality players coming up that are going to significantly impact the organization,” said Renteria, who was part of the group, along with Hoyer and Nao Masamoto, the Cubs’ video coordinator and Pacific liaison, who helped translate.

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

LA QUINTA, Calif. – Patrick Reed went low in perfect scoring and weather conditions Thursday at the Humana Challenge. He wasn’t alone.

Reed ran off five straight birdies in the middle of his round on PGA West’s Arnold Palmer Private Course and finished with a bogey-free 9-under-par 63.

Ryan Palmer, Justin Hicks, Daniel Summerhays and Charley Hoffman shot 64. Palmer played the Palmer course, Hicks and Summerhays opened on the Jack Nicklaus Private Course, and Hoffman, the 2007 winner, was at La Quinta Country Club.

Mickelson made 17 straight pars in his first round of the year before a bogey on his last hole.

Harvard wrestlers win at Burlington NORTHWEST HERALD The Harvard wrestling team dominated Thursday in a 66-9 win over host Burlington Central.

The Hornets (15-5) jumped out to a 38-0 lead behind lopsided wins from Anthony Luis at 120 pounds, Sergio Jimenez (132) and Christian Kramer (145), who each won by fall or technical fall.

Grayslake Central 46, Woodstock 23: At Woodstock, Ryan Plourde (170) and Gus Siebert each won by major decision for the Blue Streaks in their Fox Valley Conference Fox Division loss. Nick Sundberg (152), Alan Hafer (160) and Alex Johnson earned the other wins for Woodstock by decisions.

McHenry 75, Prairie Ridge 4: At McHenry, the Warriors won 10 matches by forfeit and two others by pin from Cody Patchett and Chris Ulloa. McHenry’s Cam Pait defeated the Wolves’ Charley Popp, 3-1, in a battle of two state-ranked opponents.

Travis Piotrowski (113) won for the Wolves.

BOYS BASKETBALL Harvard 41, Rockford Christian 39: At Rockford, Justin Nolen scored a game-high 12 points to lead Harvard to a Big Northern Conference East Division win.

Fernando Carrera added 10 points for the Hornets (4-10 overall, 2-2 BNC East).

BOYS BOWLING Oregon 3,587, Marengo 3,035: At Town & Country Lanes in Mount Morris, Kyle Alt bowled a team-high 573 series for the Indians while teammate Jake Barton finished with a 563 se-

ries in the loss.

“Four in a row gets exciting,” Anzalone said. “The longest I had was like eight strikes in a row. You get nervous – and disappointed if you mess up.”

Disappointment is a part of every sport, and Anzalone is about to experience it.

In the fifth frame, he tries to mimic every motion from his first four rolls: careful footwork, proper arm speed, specific arm angle, precise follow through.

Like every other roll, the ball spins down the right side of the lane before curving left to send pins crashing. Yet, this time, after the sound of impact more than 60 feet away, two pins – the 4 and the 7 – remain standing in the left corner.

Fellow sophomore Jake Manczko is the next to flirt with perfection for Huntley.

It’s the third and final game of the match, and Manczko is coming off an impressive finish in his second game that resulted in a 237. He carries positive momentum into his third game, which starts like this.

Strike.

Strike.

Strike.

Strike.

Manczko knows that he’s 5 for 5. He also knows how he’s starting to feel.

“Nervous,” Manczko said.

“A little.”

During an individual practice at Bowl-Hi last year, Manczko had followed the same path toward perfection.

“I was just here by myself,” Manczko said. “It was nine [strikes], and one in the 10th.”

This time, people are watching.

Then comes the sixth frame, when an imperfect shot ruins a perfect start. Manczko leaves three pins – the 2, 4 and 5 – standing, and although he fades down the stretch, he finishes with a 198 to complete a productive day.

Teammates greet Manczko with high-fives.

“It’s a game to improve on,” said Kyle Sieb, another sophomore on the team. “I’m always

focusing on how I throw the ball, and don’t get angry about a bad shot.”

‘IT WILL HAPPEN’ Huntley bowling coach Brian O’Neill watches from a few feet away as Anzalone, Manczko and the rest of the team pursue top scores.

O’Neill’s squad bowls almost every day during the season, either as part of practice or as part of a sanctioned competition. Each stint includes three games and lasts anywhere between 90 minutes and two hours.

When a bowler reels off strike after strike, O’Neill emphasizes consistency.

“From a coach’s standpoint, you just tell him to focus on one shot at a time,” O’Neill said. “You try not to over-coach him so he loses his focus.

“I’ve had kids before in years past that were at eight, nine in a row, and at that point I’m just going to stay away and not say a word to them because they’re probably in the zone.”

Don Zielinski knows what it means to be in the zone.

At 31 years old, he runs Bowl-Hi Lanes, which has been in his family for 42 years. Zielinksi has bowled since he was 4 or 5, and last year he rolled a perfect game.

Zielinski shrugged. It’s not that rare anymore, he said.

“I thought it would be a bigger deal than it was, you know what I mean?” Zielinksi said.

“Because I never had one.

“But then I got one, and I was like, ‘Oh, I could do it again.’ ” Maybe.

But it seems like a pretty big deal.

It is to O’Neill, who once was perfect through nine frames before missing in the 10th.

“Some day, it will happen,” O’Neill said. “That’s the good thing about bowling. It doesn’t matter how old or young or big or small you are. You can do it forever, and it’s possible.”

Not tonight, though. It’s dark outside, and the bowling alley has emptied.

Now is the time for studying.

Gators rally to stay unbeaten in Valley CLS sends Huntley to 2nd division loss

By BILL PEMSTEIN sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – In a dual meet filled with one-sided affairs, there was one close match between Crystal Lake South sophomore Ethan Weinandy and Huntley senior Trevor Symbal.

Twice this battle at 160 pounds had to be stopped to attend to the cut on Symbal’s nose.

“My dad is always telling me that you have to go after a weakness,’’ Weinandy said.

Weinandy made his move in overtime and his takedown provided a 4-2 win for the Gators.

South erased an early sixpoint Huntley lead and posted a 39-34 victory. It was just the second loss of the season for Huntley. Both of their losses have come in the rugged Fox Valley Conference Valley Division.

Despite the Red Raiders’ good start, Huntley coach B.J. Bertelsman was con-

cerned with his team missing a couple of key performers.

“We knew we were down,’’ Bertelsman said.

“And then some bad matches started to happen.”

Maybe the turning point of the match came at 138.

Nick Gil, ranked No. 2 in his weight class by Illinoismatmen.com, spent most of his match trying to catch up with Huntley’s Brandon Meyer. When it was over, Gil had a 21-9 win.

“I just wanted to wrestle my best,’’ Gil said. “I trained really hard during the summer.”

Huntley had the good start at 113. Nick Meyer built a quick 13-0 lead and registered a pin at the 1:26 mark

of the third period.

“I’ve been wrestling for nine years,’’ Meyer said. “I knew this match would close either way.”

Meyer’s win was his 21st victory of the season.

Another victory for the Red Raiders came at 126.

Junior Ricky Vigil never let down in winning his match, 10-0.

Gil’s win at 138 helped the Gators turn things around.

“Huntley definitely came out and made this a tough dual,’’ South coach Ross Ryan said.

The Gators’ record (11-7) isn’t as impressive as Huntley’s. But their 5-0 mark in the FVC Valley is something the Gators can feel good about.

Backing up Gil’s work was Eric Barone at 145.

Ranked No. 10 by Illinoismatmen.com, Barone helped the comeback effort with a pin late in the second period.

The Gators’ lead grew as large as 33-16 after Nick Dorn’s win at 170.

Hasenbuhler returns with victory • SKYHAWKS Continued from page C1 Murphy decided at the last minute to bump Hasenbuhler up, which resulted in six additional points rather than trading forfeits.

It was also Hasenbuhler’s first match of the season after becoming academically eligible Wednesday. Murphy said he had considered cutting Hasenbuhler but decided to give him another chance.

“Something told me to keep working with [Hasenbuhler],” Murphy said.

“Sometimes the stars align.”

Even without any matches under his belt, Hasenbuhler said he felt prepared from his work in the practice room.

“I was a little nervous,” Hasenbuhler said. “We’ve been practicing a lot of situations, so I was ready for it.”

Having the support of his coach was even more important to Hasenbuhler.

Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny Petersen gains control of Johnsburg’s Nash Miller in the 126-pound match Thursday at Johnsburg. Petersen won by pin. buhler said. “I’m glad he stuck with me. It was tough.”

Also getting pins for the Skyhawks were Trevor Krahel (106), Brandon Peshek (132), Andrew Calhoun (138) and Riley Buchanan (152).

Crystal Lake Central (4-1 in the FVC Fox) was missing five starters because of injuries but nearly came back with pins by Lenny Peters-

en (126), Mike Zelasco (182), Andrew Marsden (220) and Connor Hines (285).

Tigers coach Justen Lehr said the difference was giving up some pins they shouldn’t have.

“I give their kids credit. They won matches we should have won,” Lehr said. “You’ve got to find a way to stay off your back.”

ALEX REINBRECHT Jacobs co-op, sr.

Reinbrecht won each event he was entered in the past week with multiple wins in the 400-meter freestyle and 200 freestyle as well as relays.

The senior keeps a close watch on his times from last season and uses that as a measuring stick in hopes of being able to place at the state meet.

Noteworthy Coming together: When Huntley coach George Keenan took over the boys program at the beginning of the season, he didn’t know many of the swimmers on his team or in the area.

But, as the season has gone on, he has gotten a good handle on his team and how they respond to workouts and how to get the most out of his swimmers. So, over winter break, Keenan pushed the Red Raiders hard.

“We worked really hard over the break and I think that they’re a little tired right now, which is all right because we had some good swims,” Keenan said. “I’m encouraged by it as I’ve gotten to know them better.

“For some that were used to having the time off, it was a change, but the ones that understand swimming welcomed it, even though it was difficult.”

Huntley has a strong team but, with only 14 swimmers, often finds itself losing dual meets, which call for a deeper lineup. But as the season heads into the final month before the championship meets, Keenan isn’t worried about the results as much and is hopeful some of his swimmers will break through some time barriers and make the state meet.

“Ben Cazel has posted some fast times and has had huge drops along with Bryan Haage,” Keenan said. “It’s a good bunch, and I’m anxious to see how it turns out.”

Deep end: Cary-Grove has been powering its way through dual meets because of its depth. After four-time state qualifier Michael Hamann graduated last season, coach Rick Schaefer wasn’t sure where the strengths would be. The Trojans don’t have that go-to swimmer, but they have found ways to win.

“Everybody on this team is pretty evenly matched,” Schaefer said. “No one is in the forefront of carrying us, and that’s all right.

“We swam Jacobs [co-op on Wednesday] and [Francis] Ogaban is good, and Reinbrecht is good, and even when we don’t beat those guys, we can still win the dual.”

With the fairly even skill level, the swimmers have been competing with each other for spots on relay teams and for spots in individual races all season. And while that can be tough, Schaefer likes to help his team unwind.

For the second straight season, the third-year coach has taken his team to the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. The team went up New Year’s Day and stayed for a night.

“We train pretty hard, and I thought the kids needed that,” Schaefer said. “And it’s good bonding.”

This week’s top meet Cary-Grove, McHenry, Woodstock co-op at Jefferson Invitational 11 a.m. Saturday in Rockford This is always a fast meet and is one of the last times the area teams get a chance to see some different competition.

Award recognizes athletic ability, academics • REISER Continued from page C1 The Gatorade award recognizes outstanding athletic excellence as well as high academic standards. It also means Reiser is a national finalist as the representative of Illinois.

Reiser knew he had been nominated and found out he

won before first hour of class Thursday.

“I didn’t expect to win something like that,” Reiser said. “I was in shock, I guess. It’s an honor with all the great runners there are in Illinois.”

Warriors coach Beth Czubik had the thrill of letting Reiser know he had won.

“Jesse is a role model on our team, leading by exam-

ple and supporting others,” Czubik said. “His passion and knowledge of the sport allow him to excel at any challenge he faces.”

Reiser won the McHenry County, Fox Valley Conference and Class 3A regional and sectional titles on his way to placing second at state.

He also finished 13th at the Nike Cross Country nationals and was 33rd in the Foot

Locker National race.

Reiser now is in the recruitment process and has made two unofficial visits to NCAA Division I schools. He visited Illinois during the fall and Ohio State last weekend. “[Ohio State] was awesome,” he said. “It’s a gi-normous campus.”

Reiser is receiving a lot of D-I interest and will be scheduling more visits.

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler grabs a rebound in front of the Magic’s Glen Davis on Wednesday in Orlando, Fla.

BULLS

Long nights nothing new Butler used to big minutes

By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls

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

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

“I’m sure I’m going to hear about it,” coach Tom Thibodeau joked afterward.

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

That was evident during the 2011-12 season when former Bulls forward Luol Deng led the league in minutes played with 39.4. Deng was again atop that category last season at 38.7, and Joakim Noah was right there through the first two months of last season until plantar fasciitis limited him in the second half.

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

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

“I feel like we should defi-

Bulls at Washington, 6 p.m.

Friday, CSN, AM-1000 nitely bake Jimmy a cake for playing 60 minutes,” Noah said. “I’m really happy for him that he made a franchise record. No, seriously, though, there’s nothing better than that feeling of getting on the bus and you’ve won. Even guys who say, ‘Oh, I don’t care.’ But [Orlando players are] driving home [after the game] and they’re [upset].

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

It’s the best.”

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

The All-Star center played 49 minutes in the Magic win, scoring 26 points, grabbing 19 rebounds and dishing out six assists. Over his past five games, Noah was averaging 15 points, 15 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.8 blocks, while playing 38.2 minutes a game.

“There are not many players like him,” Thibodeau said of Noah. “His all-around defense, every aspect from the rebounding effort to seeing things early, seeing how they’re developing. But probably the most important thing is to make two, three and four efforts on the same play. Often times, I don’t know how he gets to the ball, but he gets to the ball. That helps unite and inspire your team.”

The Flames dominated the first half, taking a 36-23 lead into the break.

SIU-Edwardsville 71, Austin Peay 67: At Edwardsville, Rozell Nunn scored 15 points, including a game-winning three-point play, as SIU-Edwardsville (5-13, 2-3 Ohio Valley) rallied to beat Austin Peay (8-10, 2-2).

The Cougars were outrebounded, 35-22, and outshot 52.1 percent to 49.1 percent, but Nunn scored when it counted most.

He was fouled on his tip-in and made the free throw to put the Cougars up 69-67 with 12 seconds to play. Keaton Jackson sank two free throws to ensure the win.

Murray St. 70, E. Illinois 66: At Charleston, Cameron Payne scored seven points in the final 1:22 to carry Murray State to a comeback victory at Eastern Illinois.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Rajon Rondo’s rehab continues.

And now it will take place in live NBA games.

The Boston Celtics’ point guard, who has not played since tearing the ACL in his right knee Jan. 25, 2013, is scheduled to return Friday night. Coach Brad Stevens and general manager Danny Ainge both said Rondo would return for the game against the Los Angeles Lakers “barring any setbacks.”

“I don’t think we can expect him to be the Game 7 Rajon Rondo tomorrow,” Stevens said before practice Thursday.

“This is part of the process to getting back to full-go.”

Rondo did not speak with reporters Thursday, but he worked out with his teammates at the team’s practice facility. Stevens said Rondo will probably play 18-20 minutes at first, and Ainge said he would probably be limited to five minutes a quarter.

Lakers’ Young suspended: At New York, Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young was suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Thursday for throwing a punch at Phoenix’s Goran Dragic in the first half Wednesday.

Suns center Alex Len, ejected after receiving a Flagrant 2 foul against Young, was fined $15,000, and teammate Marcus Morris was fined $25,000 for his involvement.

Young, who threw the punch with 7:33 left in the second quarter of the Suns’ 121114 win, will miss the Lakers’ game Friday at Boston.

Nets perfect in London: The Brooklyn Nets should think about making another franchise move – to London.

The Nets improved to 3-0 in regular-season NBA games in the British capital with a 127-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.

Joe Johnson, who spent seven years with the Hawks, led the way for the Nets at the O2 Arena. The Brooklyn guard scored 26 of his gamehigh 29 points in the first half, and nailed two buzzer-beating 3-pointers.

Three years ago, the thenNew Jersey Nets played two regular-season games at the same O2 Arena, located on the banks of the River Thames and the venue used for the gold medal basketball game at the 2012 London Olympics. They beat the Raptors in both those games.

Last year, the New York Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons in the third regular-season game to be played in London.

Although the crowd seemed to save its loudest cheers for off-the-court action, both teams finished the game with five players scoring in double digits.

MINNEAPOLIS – Elliott Eliason had 12 points and 13 rebounds to help Minnesota muscle past 11th-ranked Ohio State for a 63-53 victory Thursday night that stuck the Buckeyes with their third straight loss.

DeAndre Mathieu had 13 points, five assists and three steals for the Golden Gophers (14-4 overall, 3-2 Big Ten), who gave new coach Richard Pitino his first signature win. They did it by backing down the Buckeyes and owning the area around the basket, posting a 38-20 advantage in points in the paint and a 39-24 rebounding edge.

LaQuinton Ross scored 22 points for the Buckeyes (15-3, 2-3), who are on a three-game losing streak for the first time in almost four years. The other four Ohio State starters combined for only 19 points, and the conference’s second-worst free-throw shooting team went 11 for 18 from the foul line.

Minnesota beat Ohio State for the first time in seven meetings, a feat last accomplished here in 2010.

Against a Gophers team that leads the Big Ten in steals, the Buckeyes took better care of the ball after totaling 38 turnovers over the previous two games, but their struggles getting shots to go down were too much to overcome.

They lost last week at Michigan State and then at home to Iowa, hardly blemishes on their record, but they’re going to have to snap out of this slide soon to keep up in the top-heavy Big Ten. The last time they dropped three in a row was February 2009, at Wisconsin, at Northwestern and against Illinois.

Chicago St. 86, New Mexico St. 81: At Chicago, Clarke Rosenberg scored 20 points and Quinton Pippen added 19 with eight rebounds as Chicago State defeated New Mexico State.

The Cougars (8-9, 3-0 WAC) shot 54.9 percent from the field and were 8 of 12 from beyond the arc. Matt Ross scored 17 points, Nate Duhon contributed 12 and Corey Gray had 10 for Chicago State.

New Mexico State (14-6, 3-1) outrebounded Chicago State 36-26 and hit 10 3-pointers, but also had 19 turnovers. Daniel Mullings paced the Aggies with 26 points.

Milwaukee 67, Ill-Chicago 63: At Chicago, Jordan Aaron scored 18 points to lead Wisconsin-Milwaukee (13-6, 3-2 Horizon League) to a come-from-behind win over Illinois-Chicago (5-13, 0-4).

Marc Brown led UIC with 18 points, and Jake Wiegand added 14 points and nine rebounds.

Milwaukee took its first lead of the game on

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Sharapova beats Knapp, heat MELBOURNE, Australia – Maria Sharapova was already soaking in ice by the time the extreme weather warning arrived.

It seemed bafflingly late to the four-time major winner, who felt fried after playing for 3½ hours in searing heat to reach the third round of the Australian Open. She didn’t know it when she was out on Rod Laver Arena tangling with Karin Knapp on Thursday, but tournament organizers had finally conceded it was unsafe to keep players on court on the third consecutive day of what is shaping as a once-in-a-century heat wave.

Matches were suspended for four hours as temperatures topped 109 degrees before subsiding, but that didn’t apply to Sharapova and Knapp because they were already into the third set and the Extreme Heat Policy only kicks in at the end of sets in progress.

Sharapova thinks it absurd that a vague formula for measuring ambient temperature, wind and humidity leaves the tournament referee as the sole arbiter of extreme heat – without input from the players.

“We have never received any emails or, you know, warnings about the weather or what to do,” she told a news conference an hour or so after her 6-3, 4-6, 10-8 win over Knapp.

Then she recalled: “Actually, I did receive one, I think, while I was in the ice bath a few minutes ago – I was like, ‘That’s a little too late.’”

Not long after tournament director Craig Tiley appeared outdoors in a TV interview, dressed in jacket and tie, to explain how the decisions are reached, Sharapova said organizers should be telling the tour trainers, medical staff, officials and players so that everyone is in the loop.

The only matches that continued in the afternoon were on the two main show courts under closed roofs, which in hindsight was a good thing when the lightning and rain arrived later in the evening to again delay

REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

and Keira Knightley PLOT: Jack Ryan, as a young covert CIA analyst, uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of violence and intense action and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes VERDICT: Cooling Russo-American relations have yielded an opening for the return of Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst, just in time for the Sochi Olympics.

In the Jack Ryan reboot, “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” Chris Pine takes over the lead. Ryan is a navigator of murky, reasonably realistic, international espionage worlds. He has neither James Bond’s preternatural suavity nor Jason Bourne’s visceral butt-kicking skills, but instead anxiously finds his way with patriotic cunning. “Shadow Recruit,” which was scripted without a Clancy book by Adam Cozad and David Koepp, tells a new backstory for Ryan. Inspired

by Sept. 11, he joins the Marines and is heroically injured in Afghanistan.

During his recovery, he meets his eventual fiancee (a doctor named Cathy played by Keira Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner, unconvincingly trying to exude a Donald Sutherland-like gravitas). He’s covertly embedded at a Wall Street bank, where he uncovers a Russian plot to buy up U.S. Treasury bonds, which he suspects will be sold off in a coordinated act of terrorism and currency devaluation. Surely, if Ronald Reagan (whose endorsement of Clancy’s first novel, “The Hunt for Red October,” propelled his fame) was still around, he’d swoon over a spy thriller based on the harrowing threat of inflation. Ryan’s investigation leads him to the Russian oligarch Viktor Cherevin, played by Kenneth Branagh, who also directed the film. Branagh endows his film with (mostly) old-fashioned competency – something often lacking in today’s action films – but little to distinguish it from superior thrillers that have come before. “Shadow Recruit” is disappointingly formulaic, relying on the familiar set piece-driven story of an implausible heist and a time-bomb finale. Knightley is too strong a force for this girlfriend role. And when the global scheme is figured out in a minute with

The Associated Press

“The Nut Job” STARRING: The voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser and Liam Neeson PLOT: Surly, a curmudgeon, independent squirrel is banished from his park and forced to survive in the city. Lucky for him, he stumbles on the one thing that may be able to save his life, and the rest of park community, as they gear up for winter – Maury’s Nut Store.

RATED: PG for mild action and rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 26 minutes VERDICT: “The Nut Job” certainly looks nice. Colors are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn shades of trees in Liberty Park, in fictional Oakton City, where much of the action takes place. There’s a lovely moment where shimmering water reflects the leaves above. And the whole thing has a period feel – mid-20th century – which is appealing, though confusing, too, when you see characters break into what looks like very 21st-century dancing at one point. Like most animated films these days, “The Nut Job,” a joint Canadian-South Korean-U.S. production, trades on its celebrity voices, which here include Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recognizably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds like he could be on a Shakespearean stage. Not that you could call this dialogue Shakespearean.

Classic Cinemas Carpentersville – Or even witty. This being a film about squirrels and their nuts, kids will enjoy the “nut” puns, and parents will groan.

“Let’s not get too nutty about this,” one character says. “Sorry, I went a little nuts,” says another. The movie’s slogan: “No nuts, no glory.” Well, at least there’s an interesting digression on the existential nature of peanut brittle. Is it, someone asks, a nut or a candy? “Both,” comes the considered reply. The story, based on Lepeniotis’ short film, “Surly Squirrel,” is simple: The animals in Liberty Park, ruled by

Surly the squirrel (Arnett), who thinks only of himself, has somehow set fire to the winter stockpile. (Watch for the nice shot of popping corn kernels from an exploding tree – it will remind you there’s a reason you’re wearing those 3-D glasses.) But Surly doesn’t seem willing to help solve the situation, and he’s banished from the park to the city. There, he discovers a nut

“THE LEGEND OF HERCULES” “PHILOMENA” Classic Cinemas Carpentersville – shop – cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you name it. If he can snag that booty, he’ll be golden for the winter, though that won’t necessarily help out his furry friends in the park, led by the feisty Andie (Heigl). Of course, there’s a big complication. A group of human lowlifes plotting a bank heist have their own connections to the nut stash, for reasons unrelated to nutrition. So who’ll win out, the human criminals or the park animals? And will Surly remain, er, surly and uncooperative, or will he work with the others? And what

about Raccoon? Is there something menacing in that deep, husky voice?

Parents may concern themselves with these issues, while kids may simply be focusing on the puns, and, oh yes, the fart jokes. And if they get tired of those, there’s always the animated PSY – yes, that PSY – at the end, singing and dancing his way through “Gangnam Style” as the credits roll. Never mind that this movie is supposed to take place some 50 years before the song came out. It’s all mildly entertaining – if slightly nuts. – The Associated Press

STARRING: Chris Pine, Kevin Costner

a bank of computer-searching analysts, one foresees the obsolescence of the action film: sprawling plots undone with a few keystrokes. “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” is perhaps most significantly a test for Pine as a movie star. Early in the film, when Ryan is forced to defend his life in a hotel room battle, he ably depicts the shock and horror of a man encountering such a circumstance for the first time. But Pine also fails to make his Jack Ryan more than an afterthought to Baldwin’s know-it-all or Ford’s reluctant hero. As Costner’s character says, he too much resembles “a Boy Scout on a field trip.”

One unlikely cameo should be noted: New York’s famed repertory art-house theater, the Film Forum, appears early in the movie when Ryan swaps information at a screening of “Sorry, Wrong Number.” At least in “Shadow Recruit,” the interior has finally been upgraded to plush stadium seating. –

Vitamins and diet may help AMD Dear Dr. K: My ophthalmologist has told me I have “dry” AMD. What is this? What can I expect going forward?

Dear Reader: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the small part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. The retina is the back part of the eye.

People with AMD often develop blurred or distorted vision. They cannot clearly see objects directly in front of them. Eventually they may develop a blind spot in the middle of their field of vision.

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

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

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

AMD occurs in two main

dot on a grid. (The lines near the dot may appear wavy or be missing because of your AMD.) Routinely test each eye and contact your doctor if you notice any changes. (I’ve put an illustration of the Amsler grid test on my website.)

Quitting smoking and wearing hats and sunglasses to block the sun’s blue wavelengths – which may promote AMD – may help reduce the severity of the disease.

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

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

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff forms: dry and wet. You mentioned you have the dry form – as do the vast majority of people with AMD. Some cases of dry AMD progress to the more serious wet form of the disease. Wet AMD can cause sudden vision loss.

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

The only treatment for dry AMD is vitamin supplementation combined with a well-balanced diet that includes dark green leafy vegetables and several servings of fish a week. Research shows high doses of antioxidant vitamins and minerals can slow (and sometimes prevent) progression from intermediate to advanced AMD. You also should monitor your condition by regularly testing yourself at home with an Amsler grid test. You focus your eyes on a central

Dear In A Spot: When the man compliments you about anything that isn’t work-connected, tell him when he does it, it makes you uncomfortable. And when he raises topics that aren’t business-related, steer the conversation right back where it belongs. He may be a kind, genuine, educated, wonderful person, but if he persists, it could be considered harassment.

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

However, one woman often talks loudly on her cellphone at the dinner table, and it makes the rest of us feel

uncomfortable and insignificant. It has gotten so bad we have stopped inviting her.

I feel sorry for her and wonder if I should explain the reason she’s being excluded. What is the best way to handle this dilemma? –

Friend In The Neighborhood Dear Friend: If done discreetly and kindly, it might benefit the woman to know why she’s no longer included. Frankly, you’d be doing her a favor because her behavior was rude.

SECTION D

Breaking news @ www.NWHerald.com

BMW introduces 4-Series With no shortage of products (sedans, wagons, sport utilities), BMW officials decided to add a few more to the palette for the 2014 model year. They are the models in the 2014 4-Series, which is basically the 3-Series in a two-door format.

With 50 BMW models on the market, the 4-Series expands customer choices by six: There are the 428i (four cylinder, 240 horsepower) and the 435i (six cylinder, 300 horsepower) in rear- or all-wheel-drive plus these same two models in only RWD as a convertible. Prices range from $40,500 for a RWD coupe to $54,900 for a RWD 435i convertible.

Delivered recently for a week of test driving was a $40,500 RWD 428i coupe.

A lot of good things can be written about this most recent BMW 4-Series product, beginning with technology. This car is a technological marvel dressed in sleek sheet metal. Small indications point this out.

For example, upon entry to either one of the two leather-clad power front seats, an arm automatically stretches out to offer a seatbelt. It is hard to ignore. The arm does everything except put the three-point belt in the lap. After the belt has been secured, the arm retracts.

Footlights help with nighttime entry, and virtually every dial inside the car is lighted so there is no fumbling to find switches or controls.

Courtesy lights automatically switch on when the engine is turned off. Separate reading lights serve the four seating positions.

The 428i has memory for two drivers, and I immediately took advantage of it. It includes the sound system, climate control, heated seat and interior temperature and the two power and heated exterior mirrors. If there is a technological shortcoming, it is no light for the exterior mirror control on the driver’s door armrest.

This coupe not only has rain-sensing windshield wipers, but also mist-sensing wipers.

It has not only a tire pressure monitoring system, but also one that keeps tab on the four disc brake pads.

REVIEWS Jerry Kuyper

A 2-liter, 240-horsepower inline fourcylinder turbocharged engine provides the punch for the 2014 BMW 428i coupe. A 435i coupe has a 300 horsepower inline six-cylinder engine.

The svelte design includes the iconic kidney-shaped grille in front, which is flanked by xenon wraparound headlamps and, at the lower corners, inset halogen foglights. The headlamps are adaptive, which means they follow the direction of the front wheels. When cornering, the lamps turn into and around the

bend. Xenons emit twice the light of halogens while using half the energy.

Standard features include pushbutton start, satellite radio, a navigation system, and power tailgate and moonroof, power windows (express up and down , one-touch) and door locks, automatic tilt-down mirrors when in

reverse, rear view camera, blind spot detection, and four power outlets. These outlets are located in the trunk, rear and front center consoles and in the front passenger’s footwell.

A continuously variable transmission is mated to a 3.5-liter, 295-horsepower V-6 engine powers the 2014 Lexus RX 450h hybrid sport utility vehicle.

Lexus RX 450h a hefty luxury vehicle that still looks out for the environment The Lexus 450h combines the virtues of a luxury sport utility vehicle with the outlook of an environmentalist.

As a “green” hybrid, the heavy 450h is somewhat easy on fuel consumption. In frontwheel-drive mode it should average 30 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. In all-wheel-drive, that figure drops to 29 mpg, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. This is phenomenal mpg for a vehicle that weighs 4,520 pounds.

During a test week in an AWD model, the average was 27.3 mpg, possibly due to driving on interstates and four-lane roadways most of the time.

The other 20 percent was town or city driving. This hybrid fares better in the city, where a combination of electric motors-generators takes over to provide power at low speeds. There is no gasoline usage while idling, such as when sitting in a parking lot listening to a ballgame or talk show while a spouse is inside a shop on an errand.

There is no lack of power in the 405h as the battery pack combines with a 3.5-liter, dual overhead cam V-6 engine to produce 295 horsepower. The power is funneled through a continuously variable transmission for movement through eight forward gears and one reverse. Regular unleaded gasoline can fill the 17.2-gallon fuel tank. Acceleration is instant and controlled.

Introduced as a 2010 model, this hybrid SUV is virtually unchanged for 2014 except for minor trim upgrades through the years. It is a midsize SUV

Lexus RX 450h fast facts

REVIEWS Jerry Kuyper with four doors for five potential occupants. Power includes heated exterior mirrors and front seats, four one-touch upand-down windows, tilt and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, door locks and rear liftgate. Remote entry and dashboard pushbutton start are standard.

The roomy split rear seat (40/20/40) reclines and slides to accommodate varying physiques. The split rear seat also folds to lie flat to allow for an optimal 80.3 cubic feet of storage space. When they are upright, storage is 40 cubic feet. Leg room will satisfy taller adults in the rear and front bucket seats.

Prices are $46,015 for a FWD RX 450h and $47,810 for the AWD version. Major options are an upgrade, 15-speaker, $995 Mark Levinson sound system, $2,775 navigation system (with backup camera) and all sorts of up-to-the-minute weather, stock quotes, sports scores or events and fuel prices, and a $3,060 package including leather and bamboo interior trim, power moonroof, folding exterior mirrors and memory for power settings for three drivers.

The tires are wide 235s, and the five wheel spokes are alloy with a chrome finish.

Braking from 60 mph to a stop can be done, as tested, in 114 feet, about 10 fewer feet than the average stopping distance of other vehicles in its weight

Vehicle: 2014 Lexus RX 450h Type: midsize luxury all-wheel-drive, four-door, five-passenger hybrid sport utility vehicle Price: $47,810 Engine: 3.5-liter, 295-horsepower, double overhead cam V-6 Transmission: continuously variable Weight: 4,520 pounds Fuel: premium unleaded Fuel tank: 17.2 gallons Cargo: 80.3 cubic feet maximum, 40 cubic feet second row seats upright Leg room: 43.1 inches front, 37.1 inches rear and size class. Front and rear disc brakes are in the 11-inch category.

With a strut suspension (coil springs over gas shocks) in front, multilinks in the rear and stabilizer bars front and rear, the crossover rides like a luxury sedan. It still is a sport utility vehicle, though, with a 6.9-inch ground clearance and a viscuous center limited-slip differential.

Standard safety features include a four-wheel antilock braking system, stability as well as traction control, brake assist, electronic brakeforce distribution, tire pressure monitoring system, daytime running lamps, variable intermittent wipers, rear wiper and defogger and five seatbelts mated with adjustable headrests. The front seatbelts are equipped with pretensioners and force-limiters.

Safety fare also includes airbags in front, airbags on sides front and rear, front and rear curtain head protection and knee airbags for the driver and front-seat passen-

ger. Tool and first aid kits are standard.

On the exterior, a ridged and sloping sport design includes a spoiler atop the liftgate, lengths of metal trim along the rocker panels and a beguiling front end that tapers and flows down to fog lamps and merges with the vehicle undergarments that shield vital parts from off-roading damage. Overhead, roof rails with cross bars are capable of safely carrying 200 pounds of luggage.

Real wood decorates the interior. Floors are carpeted with thick, heavy mats.

Besides the normal AM/ FM radio, CD and auxiliary audio input offerings, the nine-speaker sound system includes satellite radio and Bluetooth technology, 24-hour safety connect emergency communication system, CD changer with storage for six and iPod and USB ports.

rear air vents and privacy glass represent more standard equipment as do xenon headlamps, LED daytime running lamps and rain-sensing windshield wipers and trip computers.

An LCD screen is provided to control ventilation, audio, a trip computer, outside temperature display and clock.

Grab handles, two 12volt outlets, reading lights and cupholders are taken for granted, but Lexus also provides a lighted storage bin, self-dimming mirrors and wood inserts serving as trim front and rear. The wood trim even is found on the front and rear one-touch (to open) center consoles.

Climate and sound controls are within easy reach. Lexus has simplified the sound system with round dials to control volume and accommodate station searches. Road and engine noise is minimal.

Warranty coverage is four years or 50,000 miles with 24hour roadside assistance, five years or 70,000 miles on the

powertrain and free first and second scheduled maintenance services.

The RX 450h is related to the RX 350. The 295 horsepower is more than the 270 in the RX 350. The 350 has a 19.2 rather than a 17.2-gallon fuel tank. Ground clearance is 7.3 inches for the RX 350 rather than 6.7 inches with the hybrid. They have the same physical build and interior appointments. They really act the same. For example, they will turn curb-to-curb in 38.3 feet. The 350 costs $5,000 to $6,000 less than the 450h. But, does one want to “go green” or not?

Warranty coverage is the same for both vehicles with the addition of coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles on the battery components in the hybrid. Otherwise coverage is four years or 50,000 miles with 24-hour roadside assistance, five years or 70,000 miles on the gasoline and CVT powertrain, plus free first and second scheduled maintenance service.

FROM LEFT: The rear storage area in the 2014 Lexus RX 450h is lighted, carpeted and furnished with tiedowns, storage net and cargo cover. There is 40 cubic feet of storage space, 80.3 cubic feet when the split rear seats are flattened. Real wood inserts plus leather and alloy trim contribute to the luxury feel in the cabin. Leg room is ample in the adjustable second row, with 37.1 inches of space.

Crossover Cherokee sparks uproar

By MARK CLOTHIER and KEITH NAUGHTON Bloomberg News SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Chrysler’s radical new Jeep Cherokee faces an uphill climb cracking the compact sport utility vehicle market, and the reviews of its angry-eyed, angular face are making the ascent steeper.

When the storied Cherokee name was last affixed to a Jeep in 2001, it was on a boxy and rugged roustabout with the World War II-style seven-slot grille. The reborn 2014 Cherokee arriving in showrooms rejects the rough edges of yore for a flowing front that creases that classic face and offsets it with daytime running lights that seem to squint down from the hood.

The look created an uproar when it was unveiled last year. Chrysler explained it intentionally crafted a design to elicit love-it or hate-it reactions to make some noise. Now, as the Cherokee hits the streets after delays to work the bugs out of its fuel-saving 9-speed transmissions, reviewers are finding much to like, except when it comes to its looks.

“It’s a turducken of a crossover, a city-friendly crossover stuffed with the heart of a Trail Rated Jeep,” Marty Padgett, a reviewer for the Car Connection website, wrote, while slamming the styling because it “flutters between brain-fighting experimentation and duller design by default.”

The irreverent automotive website Jalopnik likened the Cherokee’s face to “an angry snake with complicated orthodonture” in an otherwise positive review this month.

Motor Trend magazine called it “ugly,” yet “luxurious, capable, fuel-efficient” and fun to drive on roads or trails: “Looks aside, this might just be one of the best SUVs on sale today, period.”

Chrysler welcomes the controversy, believing being talked about is better than blending in.

“A little bit of tension is never bad,” Jim Morrison, who runs the Jeep brand in North America, said in an interview. “It’s good for the brand, and it’s good for our dealers, who get to bring more people into the showroom.”

The stakes are high for Jeep,

which has struggled to lure the suburban families and empty-nester Baby Boomers who have made compact crossover SUVs the fastest-growing vehicle category in the U.S. Compact crossover sales have quintupled since the turn of the century and are projected to be 12.8 percent of the vehicle market this year, compared with 2.3 percent in 2000, according to researcher LMC Automotive.

Buyers like the space, fuel efficiency and affordability of compact crossovers, said Jessica Caldwell, a senior industry analyst for Edmunds.com. The 2014 Cherokee Limited starts at $22,995, nearly $7,000 less than its larger sibling, the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

“It checks a lot of boxes for consumers,” Caldwell said of compact SUVs, once derided as “cute-utes.”

“It was a chick’s car for a long time, but the mass appeal is definitely growing.”

Jeep’s last offering in the category, the Liberty, couldn’t crack the top five in sales, which includes the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4. Chrysler stopped building the Liberty a year ago as it geared up to introduce the Cherokee, which is built on the same smooth-riding chassis as Chrysler’s Dodge Dart compact car. Chrysler said it considers the new Cherokee a mid- sized SUV, although it lacks a third row typical of that size.

Under the hood, the Cherokee’s fuel-saving nine-speed automatic transmission, a segment first, helps the SUV get 31 miles per gallon on the highway, a 45 percent improvement over the Liberty. The four-cylinder engine can tow a ton, while the off-road oriented Trailhawk version rides an inch higher and can pull 4,500 pounds. The Trailhawk, expected to sell to Jeep traditionalists, starts at $29,495.

“Now that we have the formula right, we’re just bringing it to the largest segment of SUVs in America,” Morrison said. “It’s a great opportunity for us to really get into the segment we’ve been missing out on for a number of years.”

Jeep missed the compact crossover craze even as it had hot SUV models on the high-end with the upscale Jeep Grand Cherokee and at

that pushes you into a design that may be a little more different and assertive.”

Ford took a risk with the Escape when it softened the styling for the 2013 model year to better compete with the rounded Asian offerings.

The result: Escape sales are up 14 percent this year and nipping at Honda’s wheels. Through September, Honda sold 229,082 CR-Vs, Ford sold 228,290 Escapes and Toyota had 160,242 RAV4 deliveries. Escape and CR-V are among the 10 top-selling vehicles in the U.S. so far this year.

The Cherokee’s challenge is its own iconic history. Introduced in 1974, Cherokee was an immediate hit and, after a refined redesign in 1984, it ushered in the SUV era. Jeep sold more than 1.5 million Cherokees worldwide from 1986 through 2001. Cherokee’s success inspired the luxurious and larger Grand Cherokee and the Ford Explorer, the top-selling SUVs of the 1990s, which still attract crowds willing to pay premium prices.

To Autoweek magazine, Jeep strayed too far from its storied past

the bottom with the rough and ready Wrangler, a dream car to legions of teen-aged boys. Chrysler sold 474,131 Jeeps in the U.S. last year, about 80,000 shy of the brand’s 1999 peak.

The Cherokee is the first attempt

by Chrysler’s majority owner, Fiat SpA, to bring some of its Italian flair and technology to create a Jeep that is as good on gasoline as it is climbing a cliff. The model will be sold in 150 countries and is a key part of Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne’s goal of expanding Jeep globally, as he combines Fiat and Chrysler to take on the world’s largest automakers.

“If you really want volume, you have to appeal to the masses,” Reid Bigland, Chrysler’s U.S. sales chief, said in an interview.

With so much riding on the new Cherokee, some reviewers and analysts wonder why Jeep strayed so far from its rugged roots in the design.

“The direction they took certainly is a risk,” said Jeff Schuster, an auto analyst for LMC. “But they’re also trying to carve out their space in a crowded segment. Sometimes

with the Cherokee’s rakish new look, though it gave it an otherwise positive evaluation. It included a helpful graphic to explain the new Jeep’s three rows of front lights.

“Those squinty things on top aren’t actually headlights,” it says.

“The 2014 Cherokee not only resurrects a vaunted nameplate but also presents buyers with a controversial new Jeep face, reactions to which have run a relatively narrow gamut from ‘hideous’ to ‘meh,’” wrote Andrew Stoy in the Autoweek review. “Your author began in the former camp but has slowly drifted to a more positive attitude – you get used to the look.”

If buyers do get used to the Cherokee’s polarizing new look, it could become like the summer film blockbuster that reviewers hate even as plenty of popcorn eaters fill the seats.

“You can have a movie that a critic doesn’t like for various reasons, but it can still be a money maker for the studio,” Schuster said. “That can be the case for the Cherokee as well.”

WHEELS BMW 428i has impeccable manners

Page D8 • Friday, January 17, 2014

• BMW Continued from page D1 Responsive steering, firm braking and a cushioned ride are hallmarks of BMW, and this includes the 428i, which hugs the roadway and has impeccable manners on sharp turns or under quick acceleration. The ride is extremely quiet and mellow. Twin tube gas-pressure shock absorbers contribute to this nice ride.

An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on the 4-Series. While mated to the 428i’s 240-horsepower twin turbocharged, inline four-cylinder engine, it can propel this car with its rear runflat tires mounted on 17-inch V-spoke wheels from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds according to factory tests.

The six-cylinder is a five-second performer. A six-speed manual transmission is available for better performance numbers. The automatic has paddle shifters behind the leather-clad steering wheel for the feel of a manual transmission.

Braking from 60 to 0 on dry pavement is in the 115foot range.

During the test week while running on the recommended premium unleaded gasoline, the fuel usage was 28.3 miles per gallon during mostly highway driving.

The 180-watt sound system with a color 6-inch centered color screen was easy to reach, read and operate.

BMW has simplified some of its recent complex sound system with, at least, a knob to control volume.

Standard features in the 10-speaker system (three tweeters and a central bass speaker under each front seat) are AM/FM/satellite radio, CD and MP3 players, Bluetooth, eight programmable memory buttons, USB connectivity, auxiliary input and iPod ports.

2014 BMW 428i fast facts Vehicle: 2014 BMW 428i Type: Rear-wheel-drive sport luxury four-passenger, two-door coupe Price: $40,500 Engine: 2-liter, 240-horsepower inline twin turbocharged inline four-cylinder Transmission: Eight-speed automatic Fuel: Unleaded premium Fuel tank: 15.8 gallons Wheelbase: 110.6 inches Length: 182.6 inches Height: 54.2 inches Width: 71.9 inches Weight: 3,470 pounds evenly divided 50 percent front, 50 percent rear Legroom: 42.2 inches front, 33.7 inches rear Ground clearance: 5.1 inches Wheels, tires: 17-inch alloys holding 225s Turning circle: 37.1 feet Suspension: Twin-tube gas-pressure shocks, double-pivot front with spring struts and antiroll bar, five-link suspension in rear Warranty: Four years or 50,000 miles with free scheduled maintenance, 24-hour roadside assistance four years or unlimited mileage Basically, though, the 428i incorporates BMW’s iDrive interface, which can be confusing to some but a delight to others.

Safety features are numerous and include nine airbags in the cabin. For additional information, visit www.bmwusa.com.

Although officially a subcompact car, the 428i really provides the cabin space, at least in the front seating area, of a larger mid-sized sedan. A Mazda Miata also is officially a subcompact, and to compare that car in size with the 428i is to compare a peanut with a banana. Interior cabin space measured in cubic feet contribute to a vehicle being designated as subcompact, compact, midsize or large.

The front seating area of the 428i is roomy. Head, leg and shoulder room provided is that of a midsize vehicle.

There is no sense of tightness.

It is a different story in the two rear seats, where legroom is negligible and head room is compromised by a slanting roof. The seats fold flat for access to the trunk which has an estimated 13 cubic feet of storage space.

BMW’s market lineup, besides the 4-Series, features the 1-Series, 3-Series, 5-, 6- and 7-Series, the X series of sport utility vehicles, Z4 (roadster), M (expect prices north of $90,000 for power monsters in this series), BMW i (electric) and hybrids in the 3, 5 and 7 series.

BMW will have a 2-Series on dealership lots next spring. In essence, the 2-Series is the coupe version of the 1-Series, which indicates BMW is giving coupes and convertibles the even numbers and sedans and wagons the odd numbers in its lineup.

The 2014 4-Series, which was introduced at the Detroit auto show in January 2013, replaces the defunct 3-Series coupe. The 4-Series rides two inches closer to the ground than the 3-Series and the four wheels have been moved to the extremities to emphasize a low-slung carriage. Flared fenders and air vents behind the front wheels contribute to a sport look.

Warranty coverage of four years or 50,000 miles includes free scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance.

PT Cruiser monitors fail emissions test I have a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser that just failed a state emissions test. The man at the testing station said his equipment would not communicate with the monitors.

I don’t have much time to have this repaired. I don’t understand the problem. The check engine light is not on. Can you explain? Do you know the cause of this problem? – B.N., email Your car’s computer system has what is known in the industry as readiness inspection and maintenance monitors. This part of the computer system monitors conditions such as engine misfires, catalytic converter, evaporative emissions, oxygen sensors and more.

Generally, the monitors need to reset after a repair. If repairs were done just before the emission test, it may take several drive cycles to reset them, but it appears there is another cause for this concern.

When your car is tested at the emission test station, the test equipment checks to make sure the system monitors are working. In your case, the test equipment could not communicate with this part of the computer. It could not determine whether the monitors are ready and actively doing the job of monitoring systems and sensors.

This could be caused by something as simple as a loose connection in the data link plug under the dash a technician uses to plug in his test equipment. Also, there could be a broken wire or poor ground connection somewhere else in the circuit.

Perhaps a technician will take this into consideration when you visit a repair shop.

DR. GIZMO Phil Arendt The check engine light turned on in my 2003 Ford Focus with a 2.0-liter engine and 90,000 miles. A repair shop found a problem with an oxygen sensor. He replaced it and turned out the light. The next day, I went for an emissions test, and the car failed because of a readiness monitor problem.

I returned to the repair shop. The mechanic said the new oxygen sensor resistance was too high. He replaced it and told me not to go for the emissions test for at least a week. He said the monitors needed time to set. The trouble is, I need to get the test this week or I can’t renew the license plates.

Since the check engine light is out, is it OK to go for the test? – G.G., email

bo-charged engine. I see oily smoke in the exhaust when I start the car. It has 78,000 miles.

I went to a repair shop, where a mechanic at first did not find any problems. He checked the spark plugs and looked for problems in the engine with a scope. He suggested doing an oil use test, which took a month. He found the engine uses a quart every 700 miles. He now thinks the cause of the problem is a blown seal in the turbo-charger. To fix the trouble, he wants to replace it. It’s expensive.

How is it possible for a turbo-charger to use oil? Doesn’t it boost the air pressure in the engine? – T.M., email

The readiness monitors are the same as the inspection and maintenance monitors in the last question. To reset them may require several drive cycles and a number of drive miles depending on the requirements of specific monitors.

Take your car for several drives of 10 miles or so. Once you have completed this phase, return to your repair shop to have the computer tested, including the readiness monitors. The check will determine whether they have reset. If everything checks OK, head to the emissions site for a final exam and passing grade.

To answer your last question first, a turbo-charger does increase the volume and pressure of air in the engine. It acts similar to a pump. This process increases horsepower.

In a nutshell, the oil consumption trouble is due to a failed seal. Engine exhaust drives a vain similar to the blades on a wind generator turbine. The vain turns at high revolutions per minute. The bearings that support the vain need lubrication. Engine oil is pumped to the bearings to perform the lubrication task.

Seals on the bearings sometimes fail. This allows oil to enter the engine exhaust stream within the turbo housing. This causes smoke from the tailpipe and the oil level slowly drops in the engine as the oil is burned in the turbo-charger and exhaust system.

My 2003 Volkswagen Jetta burns oil, about one quart every 700 miles. It has a 1.8 tur-

The check engine light turned on in my 2006 Land Rover LR3 with a 4.4-liter

engine. A shop found a code for an air flow sensor problem, but after doing tests, they determined the sensor is operating fine. They reset the computer and turned out the light.

On my way home, the light turned on again, and the engine seemed to lose some power. I stopped and turned off the engine and then restarted. When I restarted, the light was off and engine power had returned. After five minutes, the light turned back on, and the engine lacked power.

Two days later, I returned to the shop. A mechanic did more tests and found the same code for the air sensor. He tested the sensor, and it checked OK. He does not want to replace it but suggested I replace the air filter, which he said was extremely dirty. He showed it to me, but it did not look that bad. He also wants to clean the throttle plate body, but he can’t guarantee any of this will cure the issue.

My Rover has 94,000 miles. It’s been a great vehicle. Two years ago, my shop replaced an oxygen sensor, but it hasn’t been any trouble since then. It caused problems similar to the issues I now experience. Could the oxygen sensor be bad again? Do you know what’s wrong? – D.P.T., email The trouble code for an oxygen sensor is different from the code set for a mass air flow sensor, so it’s not the likely cause of the trouble. However, a dirty air filter and a dirty throttle body could impair the operation of the mass air flow sensor.

So, rather than replace a perfectly good MAF sensor for big bucks, you might consider spending a lot less cash on a new air filter and thorough cleaning of the throttle body. This indeed could cure

all your concerns.

The clutch pedal in my 2003 Saab 9-3 is low to the floor. When I push in the pedal to disengage the clutch, I have to push nearly all the way to the floor before it disengages. In the morning when I start out, I can’t get the transmission into gear unless I let the car warm up. Also, it feels like the clutch is partially engaged. I think that’s because the pedal is so low.

I took the vehicle to my local shop, where a mechanic checked the fluid level and bled a hydraulic cylinder. He thinks the pedal is better, but to me it’s still lower than normal.

My car has 170,000 miles. The clutch was replaced for the first time at 151,000 miles. Do you think the clutch is the trouble or is there something else wrong? – W.L., email More than likely, the clutch master or slave cylinders are suffering from excessive wear. If so, replacement of one or both hydraulic parts should bring the pedal up to normal height. Also, when the pedal is depressed, the clutch will release as designed. Additionally, this repair should cure the other issue of not being able to shift into gear in the morning.

Ask your favorite technician to consider these suggestions the next time your car is at a shop.

I have a 2012 Ford Expedition with 12,601 miles and a V-8 engine. Recently, right after an oil change, the tire pressure light turned on. I went back to the oil change shop and had them check the tire pressure. They said they checked and adjusted the pressure during the oil

change and checked again. It was fine, but the light stayed on even after I turned the truck off and on a couple of times thinking it would reset the light.

The light is annoying. I won’t know if there is a real problem tire as long as the light is on. Why did it turn on? Did the shop do something? What needs to be done to turn off the light? – M.J., email I doubt the oil change shop did anything except adjust the tire pressure. This will not turn on the light unless they reduced air pressure with many pounds difference in one tire, which is highly unlikely.

The tire pressure monitoring system communicates with a module via radio signals. Cell phones, other vehicles with tire monitoring systems, radio stations, electrical transformers and much more can cause the light to inadvertently turn on even when the tires are properly inflated. Having said this, more than likely something in the system has failed.

Since the issue does not appear to be related to a failed tire or outside influence, consider a trip to your favorite dealership. More than likely the issue is a failed sensor. This might be repaired under the factory warranty.

Best Buy said Thursday a key sales barometer fell during the holiday shopping season, stung partly by weakness in the U.S. economy and a highly promotional retail environment.

Best Buy shares skid Retailer’s holiday sales fall, stock price plunges The ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS – Best Buy said Thursday it had disappointing sales during the holiday shopping season, raising concerns about the consumer electronic retailer’s ability to turn around its business.

Shares tumbled nearly 29 percent on the news, showing that investors are increasingly worried about Best Buy’s future. Best Buy’s stock price had more than quadrupled last year, but had been down 7 percent since the beginning of this year.

The holiday season, which runs from November through December, is a critical period for retailers because it can account for up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. But this past season was marked by weak consumer spending and heavy sales promotions by retailers.

Best Buy was struggling even before the holiday season because of increased competition from online stores, notably Amazon.com, and discounters like Wal-Mart. But under CEO Hubert Joly, Best Buy started a turnaround strategy that included revamping merchandise, training employees and cutting costs.

Best Buy went into the holiday

season saying it was unafraid of socalled “showrooming,” when consumers check out items in stores and then purchase them for cheaper online. It also said it would match prices of all retailers, including cheaper online rivals, but that policy ultimately led to an unexpected sales decline.

Best Buy CEO, Hubert Joly, also said that there was a lot of competition on price during the holidays and an “intensely promotional” environment. He added that Best Buy’s business was also hurt by supply constraints for key products, a drop in customer traffic and a disappointing mobile phone market.

Additionally, Joly said there was an overall decline in the consumer electronics market that no one was expecting. Indeed, according to research firm NPD Group, consumer electronics sales fell 2.4 percent to $22.9 billion during the 9-week holiday period.

As a result, total revenue for the nine-week period that ended on Jan. 4 slipped 3 percent to $11.45 billion from $11.75 billion. Domestic revenue declined to $9.75 billion from $9.91 billion, while international revenue fell to $1.7 billion from $1.85 billion.

Meanwhile, sales at stores open at least a year – a key indicator of a retailer’s health – fell 0.8 percent. But that was better than the 1.4 percent decline in the prior-year period.

“Best Buy is in a much better position than it was a year ago,” said Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy.

“In my mind, the shares now more accurately reflect very competitive retail environment that will be present in the years to come.”

Joly said Best Buy’s holiday performance renews the sense of urgency around the company’s transformation. He said key priorities heading into fiscal 2015 will include: lowering costs faster and more deeply; growing its online business at a quicker pace; continuing to improve the customer experience; improving marketing efforts and growing its Geek Squad services business.

Joly also said there were no specific plans to close stores, but added that “we have always said on an ongoing basis that we are looking at the store footprint and we continue to review it.”

Shares of the Minneapolis company declined $10.30, or 27.4 percent, to $27.27 in midday trading after sinking more than 30 percent earlier.

Airfares increase 12 percent since 2009

U.S. homebuilder confidence dips U.S. homebuilders lost a little confidence in the housing market this month but remain generally upbeat ahead of the spring home-selling next season.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Thursday dipped to 56. That’s down from December’s reading of 57, which was revised one point lower from its initial estimate.

Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good, rather than poor.

Builders’ view of current sales conditions for single-family homes, their outlook for sales over the next six months and traffic by prospective buyers each declined since December.

Even so, the overall index is nine points higher than a year ago, reflecting a stronger U.S. housing market.

“Rising home prices, historically low mortgage rates and significant pent-up demand will drive a continuing, gradual recovery in the year ahead,” said David Crowe, the NAHB’s chief economist.

The spring buying and selling season kicks off next month, traditionally the time of the year that sets the tone for residential hiring and construction. Many builders, particularly smaller firms, sell homes that will take months to build.

U.S. consumer prices up 0.3 percent

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – The price of flying continues to climb, with the average domestic roundtrip ticket, including tax, reaching $363.42 last year, up more than $7 from the prior year.

The 2 percent increase outpaced inflation, which stood at 1.5 percent for the year, and represents the fourth consecutive year fliers have faced price hikes.

Airfares have risen nearly 12 percent since the recessionary low in 2009, when adjusted for inflation, according to an Associated Press analysis of fare data from the Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes ticket transactions for airlines and more than 9,400 travel agencies, including websites such as Expedia and Orbitz.

The price of flying has gone up as airlines have cut unprofitable routes, packed more passengers into planes and have merged with one another, providing travelers with fewer options.

Today, 84 percent of seats are filled with paying passengers, up from 82 percent in 2009.

“Anyone traveling today will know that those flights are full,” said Chuck Thackston, managing director of data and analytics for the Airlines Reporting Corp. “Just through supply and demand, those fares will go up.”

And none of this factors in the bevy of extra fees travelers now face for checking bags, getting extra legroom or even purchasing a blanket, meal or

MARENGO – Marengo Café has reopened two weeks after a fire in an apartment above the restaurant.

With a new ceiling and new flooring, Marengo Café was open for business Thursday morning, said owner Steve Ljumani.

An apartment above the restaurant was heavily damaged after a fire Jan. 2. The restaurant also was damaged, but has since been repaired.

“We’re back in business and we want people to take a look at the new Marengo Café,” Ljumani said.

WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer prices rose last month by the most since June, driven up by higher gas prices, but excluding energy, inflation was tame.

The Labor Department said Thursday that the consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.3 percent in December, after a flat reading the previous month.

Prices increased 1.5 percent in 2013, down from 1.7 percent in 2012. That’s below the Federal Reserve’s target of 2 percent.

Fed officials have said in recent months that they are watching the inflation data closely to ensure it does not fall too far.

The price of flying continues to climb, with the average domestic roundtrip ticket, including tax, reaching $363.42 last year, up more than $7 from the prior year. pair of headphones. The typical traveler pays an additional $50 roundtrip to check a single suitcase.

Those fees, introduced in 2008 to offset losses from rising fuel prices, now bring in $3.4 billion a year for U.S. airlines and have helped them return consistent annual profits for the last four years.

Airlines pay just over $3 a gallon for jet fuel, up from $1.89 in 2009. Another $2.7 billion a year is collected in reservation-change fees, with airlines charging up to $200 to revise an itinerary.

“I love to travel, but they’re making it more difficult,” said Brian Kalish, a frequent flier from Arlington, Va. “Maybe I’ve been spoiled that it used to be so cheap to fly. It just feels like they are charging

more and giving less.”

Airlines are able to push fare and fee hikes because there is less competition.

“You get some pricing power as a result,” said airline consultant Robert Mann.

A wave of consolidation that started in 2008 has left four U.S. airlines – American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines – controlling more than 80 percent of the domestic airtravel market. Discount airlines such as Allegiant Air and Spirit Airlines have grown at breakneck speed but still carry a tiny fraction of overall passengers.

“Even with the presence of a number of strong, sizable low-fare airlines, you are still seeing airfares go up sizably,” said Henry Harteveldt, a travel indus-

try analyst with Hudson Crossing.

Starting July 1, fliers also will face higher taxes.

The government’s security fee is currently $2.50 each way for a nonstop flight, capped at $5 each way if a traveler has a connection.

This summer, that fee will be $5.60 each way whether or not there’s a connection.

The fee hike is estimated to cost travelers an extra $1 billion a year.

Higher fares did not mean better service for passengers last year.

During the first 11 months of last year, 19 percent of flights failed to arrive within 15 minutes of their scheduled time.

That’s up from 16 percent during the same period in 2012, according to data kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Citigroup 4Q profit misses forecasts NEW YORK – Citigroup’s fourth-quarter profit fell short of analysts’ expectations as its bond and mortgage businesses weakened.

The bank said Thursday it earned $2.60 billion, after stripping out the effects of an accounting charge. Per share, that amounted to 82 cents, falling short of the 95 cents analysts expected.

Citi’s stock fell nearly 4 percent in late morning trading.

Revenue, excluding adjustments, slipped 2 percent to $17.9 billion, short of the $18.2 billion Wall Street predicted.

“Although we didn’t finish the year as strongly as we would have liked, we made substantial progress toward our key priorities in 2013,” Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat said.

Don’t put off conversations with aging parents Thanks to healthier lifestyles and advances in modern medicine, there are more Americans over the age of 65 than there have ever been. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that between 2000 and 2010, the population aged 65 and older grew 15 percent, while the total U.S. population grew less than 10 percent. As our nation ages, many Americans are turning their attention to caring for aging parents.

Weekly unemployment benefit claims drop to 326k The job market had picked up toward the end of last year before losing some momentum in December. A mere 74,000 jobs were created last month, after the economy added an average of 213,500 new jobs in the previous four months.

Many economists blamed the slowdown in hiring on bad weather and statistical quirks, and projected stronger gains in the new year.

“Hiring indicators are almost uniformly quite strong, and we think the underlying trend in payroll growth likely has picked up, despite the fluke slowing in December,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

The unemployment rate fell last month to 6.7 percent from 7 percent in November. Much that decrease came from 347,000 unemployed workers leaving the workforce. The government counts people as unemployed only if

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 2,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 326,000, a sign that layoffs are weighing less on the job market and economic growth.

The Labor Department said Thursday the less volatile four-week average dropped 13,500 to 335,000.

More than 4.7 million Americans collected benefits at the end of last year. The figure has declined almost 1.2 million over the past 12 months. But that number is poised drop by another 1.35 million in upcoming weeks. That’s because a special federal program expired last month and is starting to affect recipients.

Applications appear to have stabilized near pre-recession levels, a positive sign for hiring going forward.

World stock markets struggled on Thursday as they fought to scrape out more gains a day after a key U.S. benchmark climbed to a new high on strong earnings and economic data.

Weak earnings drag U.S. stocks mostly lower

By KEN SWEET The Associated Press NEW YORK – A batch of negative company news gave investors something to fret over Thursday.

A day after eking out its first record high of 2014, the stock lost ground Thursday as electronics retailer Best Buy, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, and railroad CSX had disappointing earnings news.

Consumer discretionary companies and banks fell the most.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped 2.49 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,845.89 – retreating from the all-time high it hit the day before.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 64.93 points, or 0.4 percent, to 16,417.01. The Nas-

daq composite had a modest gain of 3.8 points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,218.69.

Goldman Sachs was the biggest drag on the Dow, falling $3.58, or 2 percent, to $175.17.

The bank reported a drop in fourth-quarter profit due to problems in its mortgages and bond trading division.

However, Goldman’s earnings did beat analysts’ expectations.

The bond and mortgage businesses also were weak at Citigroup, whose results fell short of expectations. The stock dropped $2.39, or 4 percent, to $52.60.

The stock market is “fragile” right now, said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.

they are looking for work.

The expiration of long-term benefits could lead to further declines in the unemployment rate, perhaps as much as a quarter of percentage point in early 2014.

That’s because many of the former recipients will give up on job searches, which are required in order to receive benefits.

The program provided up to 47 extra weeks of unemployment benefits, paid for by the federal government. Those benefits offered payments averaging $256 a week to the long-term unemployed who exhausted their state benefits, which usually last for six months.

The Senate failed to advance an extension of benefits Tuesday after lawmakers devoted a week toward hammering out a deal.

Because the figures for all benefits recipients are released with a two-week lag, the Labor Department has yet to report the impact of the program’s end.

8IN BRIEF

Chuck E. Cheese owner agrees to $950M buyout

ment firm Apollo, which buys troubled companies using borrowed money and tries to sell them for more, usually years later, in a transaction known as a leveraged buyout.

The companies said Apollo will pay $54 per share for CEC Entertainment Inc. That’s about a 25 percent premium over CEC’s closing price on Jan. 7, the last trading day before media speculation regarding a transaction, the companies noted. They put the deal’s value at about $1.3 billion, including debt.

CEC has approximately 17.6 million outstanding shares,

NEW YORK – The parent company of the Chuck. E. Cheese restaurant chain has agreed to be acquired by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management for about $950 million.

Founded in 1977, Chuck E. Cheese restaurants are known for their mix of games, play areas and robotic characters that provide musical entertainment. The chain has been struggling to lift sales, even after a makeover for its rodent mascot in 2012 that was intended to refresh its outdated image.

Enter Leon Black’s invest-

according to FactSet. CEC said its board unanimously approved the transaction. The company’s shares were up $6.04, or about 12 percent, at $54.47.

Intel 4Q net income rises 6 percent NEW YORK – Intel’s fourthquarter net income rose 6 percent, as higher sales of other products offset flat demand for its personal computer chips.

The world’s largest chipmaker earned $2.63 billion, or 51 cents per share, up from $2.47 billion, or 48 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2012.

Revenue rose 3 percent to $13.83 billion. Analysts polled

by FactSet expected a profit of 52 cents per share on revenue of $13.72 billion.

Intel supplies chips for the majority of personal computer processors, so the consumer shift away from PCs – and toward tablets and smartphones – continues to hurt sales. The company has tried to offset the decline with higher sales of chips for servers, phones and tablets.

Intel Corp. also issued a firstquarter revenue outlook roughly in line with predictions.

In golf, there is usually more than one way to hit a shot to the green -- assuming, of course, you are skillful enough to do that.

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

That applies in this deal.

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

If you like to declare, look at only the NorthSouth hands and plan the play.

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

South starts with only six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds. The other tricks must come from clubs, but dummy is short of entries. South

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

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

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

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Play to win this year. Don’t show emotion or consternation. Make your choice and stick to your plan. Avoid excess as well as people who are too demanding or entitled. Stay close to those who share your concerns, interests and beliefs. Invest in yourself and your talents.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Keep a close watch on your situation today. Not everyone will play by the same rules. There is a good reason for your uncertainty -- tread carefully. A last-minute change must not be allowed to ruin your plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Get whatever is troubling you out in the open. Discuss your thoughts, plans and intentions. The more direct you are, the surer you will become of the path you have chosen.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will not see your situation clearly. Don’t be fooled by compliments or someone using gestures of friendliness to ferret out personal information. Protect your reputation and your secrets.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Accept the inevitable, but don’t initiate change. Keep your eyes wide open and listen for any changes that might affect your status or your position. Help your peers and form beneficial alliances.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Broach personal subjects with caution. Showing compassion and understanding will help you ease into a situation that has the potential to turn emotional. Be willing to compromise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Deal with a fraught situation while you have the chance. Make changes or offer assistance, and things will be easier when you need a favor or aid in return.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Get together with someone you love. Sharing stories will help you build a closer bond, as well as enlighten you regarding your family or cultural background. Make travel plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t let added responsibilities get you down. The more quickly you get your chores out of the way, the sooner you will be able to enjoy a change of pace and space.

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

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

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

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