Local tow truck drivers ‘swamped’ during deep freeze

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com If there’s evidence supporting the oft-repeated advice to keep blankets and warm clothes packed in your car at all times, it probably lies in the business flooding local tow truck drivers.

During a winter heavy both on snow and subzero temperatures, towing companies are having one of their highest volume winters in memory.

“We’ve been swamped,” said

Patrick Blank, owner of Whitey’s Towing in Crystal Lake. “I’ve never been this busy.”

For better or worse, towing companies should expect to see another busy day Tuesday, with temperatures expected to dip to 20 below zero overnight and rise only to 2 below during the day. The overnight low on Tuesday night was forecasted at minus 9.

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man is facing felony charges after authorities said he tried to blackmail Panera Bread and expose information about the company.

Charles R. Wagner, 47, of 300 Leah Lane, Apt. 1D, was a former employee of Panera. After being fired earlier this month, he made threats against the company, Woodstock police said.

He is accused of demanding an undisclosed amount of money, or he would reveal what police called harmful information intended to damage the reputation of Panera Bread and its Missouri-based parent company.

Wagner turned himself in Jan. 24 on one count of intimidation, a Class 3 felony.

The police investigation included “covert surveillance techniques,” Woodstock police said, including conversations between Wagner and undercover officers. Detectives were unable to verify or locate any evidence to substantiate Wagner’s claims about the restaurant chain.

“He never got into specifics as far as what he had,” Woodstock police Detective Sgt. Jeff Parsons said. “He was keeping that close to the chest, but he made it clear if he wasn’t given what he requested, he would disseminate information and videos to the media that would discredit the Panera chain.”

The investigation is ongoing and detectives are searching for another individual who might have been involved.

Police declined to comment on what role Wagner had as an employee at Panera, or for which location he worked. Panera Bread’s director of human resources said the company would not comment on the arrest.

Wagner posted bond, or $2,500, at the Woodstock Police Department and was released the day of his arrest. His charge carries a possible sentence of between two and five years in prison.

His next court date is Tuesday.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the investigation.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Topinka works overtime for endorsement I don’t think I’ve seen a Republican – or just about any candidate of any stripe – work as hard for an AFL-CIO endorsement as Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka did.

She assiduously courted the unions who represent workers in her office, worked to help the Teamsters pass a bill important to the union that jabbed at a nonunion cemetery owner (the comptroller’s office regulates some cemeteries), built strong relationships with some labor union leaders and attended tons of their events and even endorsed the unionbacked pension reform bill.

In other words, she went above and beyond her Democratic rival, Sheila Simon, on pretty much all counts. The Simon family has long enjoyed union support. Except for his successful U.S. Senate primary bid in 1984, union leaders and members almost always backed her father, Paul.

And the daughter would’ve likely had organized labor’s backing this year if she’d run for the open state treasurer slot instead of for comptroller against Topinka. So it was little surprise when Topinka received the Illinois AFL-CIO endorsement this month.

It’s no secret that Illinois voters have tended to lean Democratic for

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Rich Miller quite a number of years, so successful Republican candidates have to prove they are not completely hostile to the prevailing state winds.

Voters know Topinka well, and many probably still kick themselves for voting for Rod Blagojevich instead of her. Blagojevich defeated Topinka by 10 points in 2006. You’d be hard pressed to find many people who were proud of that pro-Rod vote today.

Even though Topinka is wellknown to voters, Simon’s family name still carries quite a bit of cachet, so Topinka has not rested on her laurels. Instead, she’s worked hard to outflank Simon on her left, and not with only the unions.

Topinka has long been aggressively outspoken on gay rights issues, and she upped her credibility on the issue with the gay marriage proposal, working the bill hard and then receiving a huge roar of applause when, during the gay marriage signing ceremony, she offered to serve as a “flower girl” for any couple who is married under the new law.

The state Federation of Labor will make fall election endorsements this summer, so I suppose it’s possible they could go in a different direction.

But Simon probably didn’t help her case any when she blasted the Topinka endorsement by “insiders” acting “behind closed doors.” The AFL-CIO always meets privately to discuss these endorsements, and it’s doubtful Simon would’ve been so concerned about the process if she’d received the nod.

Simon sent out a press release last week shortly before the labor endorsement was announced, praising herself for raising a mere $132,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Topinka raised even less, but her campaign claims she back-loaded her fundraising for this quarter. We’ll see. Either way, Topinka has $914,000 tucked away in her campaign bank account compared with $379,000 for Simon, and Simon now won’t be getting much if any major union contributions in the near future.

Topinka also endeared herself to many state legislators who don’t have second jobs when she immediately cut legislative paychecks after a Cook County judge ruled last year that Quinn’s veto of member salaries was unconstitutional. Quite a few of those

legislators are African-Americans and Latinos, so Simon didn’t help herself with them when she criticized Topinka for her fast action and said she would’ve waited to see if the judge stayed his order.

And even Gov. Pat Quinn, who often nurses grudges, has seemed to brush off Topinka’s paycheck move.

Quinn told the Chicago Sun-Times’ Michael Sneed this month that he “can’t praise state Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka enough” for her work on animal welfare issues.

Quinn still is reportedly not happy with his lieutenant governor for the way she abruptly jumped off the ticket a year ago when Lisa Madigan loomed large as a potential challenger, and for when Simon refused to endorse him last summer when it looked like he faced a difficult primary against Bill Daley.

Despite everything, Illinois is Illinois, so this campaign isn’t a slam dunk for the incumbent comptroller by any means. And that’s a big reason why Topinka worked so hard to win the state Fed’s endorsement this month. Very smart politics.

Rutherford to debut TV ads during Olympics Ill. gubernatorial candidate facing 3 others in GOP primary in March

Illinois state Treasurer Dan Rutherford, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, makes a point during a business forum Jan. 16 in Mount Prospect. Rutherford says his campaign will air its first television ads Feb. 6 to correspond with the start of the Sochi Olympics.

SPRINGFIELD – A second Republican contender for Illinois governor is taking his message to television next week, less than two months before a four-way GOP primary to challenge Gov. Pat Quinn.

State Treasurer Dan Rutherford said his campaign will air its first television ads to correspond with the start of the Sochi Winter Olympics.

That follows months in which Winnetka billionaire Bruce Rauner has dominated many TV markets with ads, raising his name recognition but also making him the target of attacks by his three opponents.

Rutherford, of Chenoa, would not say how much he is

Primary election The Illinois primary election is March 18. spending on the ads, but that they would run statewide and his campaign hopes to sustain them through the March 18 primary. He said the highest percentage of the ads will run in higher population centers.

“We’ve got the resources to come in when the time is necessary,” Rutherford told The Associated Press.

The other two candidates seeking the GOP nomination, State Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, have not run TV ads.

Political and media experts said TV presence is important in a primary as voters try to differentiate between candidates of the same party, but that having the right message is just as important.

Chris Mooney, director of University of Illinois’ Institute for Government and Pub-

lic Affairs, noted that most people get their political news through television.

“What’s needed for Rutherford to break through is a very powerful message,” Mooney said. “It has to be distinguishing himself from Rauner in some clear way.”

Pete Giangreco, a Democratic campaign strategist, said a candidate would need to match the volume of the Rauner ads to make the ad buy worthwhile.

“You can’t bring a knife to a gun fight,” Giangreco said.

“If he’s not up to substantial levels where Rauner is, he’s not going to get traction.”

At the same time, Giangreco notes that Rauner has spent millions on ads and “hasn’t put this race away yet. I think this thing’s wide open. “ The Rutherford campaign ended 2013 with $1.37 million.

Rauner raised $4 million in the final quarter of 2013 and spent much of that money on ads.

Rutherford said his TV campaign will include positive ads that focus on who he

is and his vision for Illinois.

Rauner, meanwhile, called on his rivals Monday to denounce efforts by organized labor – which typically supports Democrats – to launch attack ads against him. Campaign manager Chip Englander said the candidates’ silence on the issue is an indication they support efforts by the unions to “hijack” the GOP primary.

Several union officials say Rauner is more anti-labor than his rivals, and that they plan to launch a coordinated campaign against him.

Brady replied that he had no connection to the union efforts. He said many union members are Republicans who want to nominate the candidate with the best chance of defeating Quinn.

Dillard campaign manager Glenn Hodas contends it’s Rauner trying to hijack the election. He noted the venture capitalist’s collaboration and friendship with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, calling him “a Democrat in sheep’s clothing.”

Lincoln Home reviews security after break-in

CHICAGO – Authorities accuse an owner of an Illinois hospice company of fraudulently boosting care levels and even extending care to patients who weren’t near death in order to get higher payments from Medicare and Medicaid.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago said Monday that 46-year-old Seth Gillman is charged with health care fraud and obstructing auditors. If convicted, the Lincolnwood man faces 15 years in prison. Gillman is part owner of Lisle-based Passages Hospice. Prosecutors said he encouraged nurses to switch patients from routine to much costlier general care.

Authorities said he may have been trying to steal copper wire from the property.

U.S. looks to prevent spying on its spying The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The U.S. government is looking at ways to prevent anyone from spying on its own surveillance of Americans’ phone records.

As the Obama administration considers shifting the collection of those records from the National Security Agency to requiring that they be stored at phone companies or elsewhere, it’s quietly funding research to prevent phone company employees or eavesdroppers from seeing whom the U.S. is spying on, The Associated Press has learned.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has paid at least five research teams across the country to develop a system for high-volume, encrypted searches of

electronic records kept outside the government’s possession. The project is among several ideas that would allow the government to discontinue storing Americans’ phone records, but still search them as needed.

Under the research, U.S. data mining would be shielded by secret coding that could conceal identifying details from outsiders and even the owners of the targeted databases, according to public documents obtained by The Associated Press and AP interviews with researchers, corporate executives and government officials.

In other developments Monday: • The Justice Department and leading Internet companies agreed to a compromise with the government

that would allow the firms to reveal how often they are ordered to turn over information about their customers in national security investigations. The deal with Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Facebook Inc. and LinkedIn Corp. would provide public information in general terms. Other technology companies were also expected to participate.

• Published reports said new documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden suggest that popular mapping, gaming and social networking apps on smartphones can feed the NSA and Britain’s GCHQ eavesdropping agency with personal data, including location information and details such as political affiliation or sexual orientation. The reports,

Diesel fuel Negotiators can ‘gel’ in House, Senate extreme cold vote expected

• WEATHER

Continued from page A1 overnight, nearly all McHenry County schools already had canceled Tuesday classes by midday Monday. Most already made the decision to close for two days on Sunday.

Area libraries also had closed, and some businesses were doing the same.

Snow and ice bring the typical calls for a tow truck, such as for a vehicle that has slid into a ditch. Such calls have been high this year with snow frequently hitting McHenry County.

But the extreme cold takes its own vehicular victims, particularly stressing diesel trucks.

“We do the bigger trucks, too,” said Doug Noble, who owns Union-based Noble Towing and Automotive. “So you get the diesel gelling, and you get your brakes freezing up.”

Diesel fuel can “gel,” or freeze, which means it can no longer pump through fuel lines and power the vehicle.

“You have to watch where you buy your fuel and make sure you put your additives in,” Noble said.

The wind chill warning issued by the National Weather Service is scheduled to expire at 9 a.m. Wednesday, which is the day McHenry County can expect some relief – at least from the most extreme cold.

The temperature should reach 15 degrees Wednesday and then 24 degrees Thursday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday each call for a chance of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Both Noble and Blank say they’ve been pushed to the max, but haven’t dealt with a volume of vehicles they can’t handle.

Blank said that at times, high demand has meant longer wait times for a tow truck.

But the company prioritizes jobs where a driver and passengers are left in the cold over someone who has been picked up from their broken-down car.

Still, he offers the same advice to all drivers that he often directs toward his son when he’s preparing to leave the house.

“You should always pretend that your car is going to break down,” Blank said.

later this week The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A House plan to make major cuts to food stamps would be scaled back under a bipartisan agreement on a massive farm bill, a near end to a more than two-year fight that has threatened to hurt rural lawmakers in an election year.

The measure announced Monday by the House and Senate Agriculture committees preserves food stamp benefits for most Americans

published by The New York Times, the Guardian and ProPublica, said the intelligence agencies get routine access to data generated by apps such as the Angry Birds game franchise or the Google Maps navigation service.

• When the New York Times published a censored U.S. document on the smartphone surveillance program, computer experts said they were able to extract what appeared to be the name of an NSA employee, a Middle Eastern terror group the program was targeting and details about the types of computer files the NSA found useful.

Since Snowden began leaking documents in June, his supporters have maintained they have been careful not to disclose any agent’s identity or operational details that

would compromise ongoing surveillance. The employee did not return phone or email messages from the AP. A DNI spokesman said they asked the Times to redact, or black out, the material. A Times spokeswoman blamed a “production error” and said the section was redacted.

• NBC News reported that British cyberspies demonstrated a pilot program to their U.S. partners in 2012 in which they were able to monitor YouTube in real time and collect addresses from the billions of videos watched daily, as well as some user information, for analysis. At the time the documents were printed, they were also able to spy on Facebook and Twitter. The network said the monitoring program was called “Squeaky Dolphin.”

reach deal on farm bill

who receive them and continues generous subsidies for farmers. The House was expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, with the Senate following shortly after.

The compromise was expected to cut food stamps by about $800 million a year, or around 1 percent. The House in September passed legislation cutting 5 percent from the $80 billion-a-year program. The House bill also would have allowed states to implement broad new work requirements for food stamp recipients. That has been scaled back to a test program in 10 states.

The Democratic-led Senate had twice passed a bill with only $400 million in annual food stamp cuts, and

had signaled it would not go much higher. The White House had threatened to veto the House level of food stamp cuts.

The final bill released Monday would cost almost $100 billion a year over five years, with a cut of around $2.3 billion a year overall from current spending. Committee aides said they were still waiting for final numbers from the Congressional Budget Office to assess exactly how much the bill would cost.

Republican House leaders said they would support the deal. After wavering for several years, the GOP leaders were seeking to put the long-stalled bill behind them and build on the success of a

bipartisan budget passed earlier this month. Leaders in both parties also were hoping to bolster rural candidates in this year’s midterm elections.

Still unclear, though, was how Republicans would get the votes they needed to pass the final bill on the House floor. The full House rejected an earlier version of the farm bill in June after conservative Republicans said cuts to food stamps weren’t high enough – and that bill had more than two times the cuts than those in the compromise bill announced Monday.

Some of those conservatives were certain to oppose the lower cuts to food stamps, along with many of the farm subsidies the bill offered.

Ukraine president to scrap anti-protest law The ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine – Ukraine’s beleaguered president Monday agreed to scrap harsh anti-protest laws that set off a wave of clashes between protesters and police over the past week, a potentially substantial concession to the opposition that stopped short of meeting all of its demands.

In a possibly major sticking point, a proposed amnesty for arrested protesters would not be offered unless demonstrators stopped occupying buildings and ended their round-the-clock protests and tent camp on Kiev’s central Independence Square, according to a statement by Justice Minister Elena Lukash on the presidential website.

President Viktor Yanukovych has been under increasing pressure since he pushed the tough laws through parliament, setting off clashes and protests in other parts of the country in a sharp escalation of tensions after weeks of mostly peaceful protests over his rejection of a deal to deepen ties with the 28-nation European Union.

At a meeting between top opposition figures and Yanukovych late Monday “a political decision was made on scrapping the laws of Jan. 16, which aroused much discussion,” Lukash said.

She made no mention of a key opposition demand – that Yanukovych resign.

Eliminating the laws, which is likely to be done in a special parliament session Tuesday, appears to be a serious step back for the government. The session is also expected to include a discussion of government responsibility in the crisis, suggesting a cabinet reshuffle could be imminent.

Facing a House ethics investigation, a growing group of primary challengers and the steady drumbeat of a Republican establishment calling for him to step down, the 37-yearold, who pleaded guilty to cocaine U.S. Rep. possession Trey Radel charges last R-Fla. year, quietly tendered his resignation letter.

On Nov. 20, the freshman Republican pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of cocaine possession and was sentenced to a year of probation. He admitted to purchasing 3.5 grams of cocaine from an undercover officer Oct. 29 in Washington.

Ex-Marlboro man’s death smoking-related LOS ANGELES – Eric Lawson, a working actor who portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette ads during the late 1970s, has died. He was 72.

Lawson’s wife, Susan Lawson, said Sunday that her husband died Jan. 10 at his California home. The cause was respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. The ruggedly handsome Lawson portrayed the smoking cowboy in Marlboro print ads from 1978 to 1981. A smoker since age 14, Lawson later appeared in an anti-smoking commercial that parodied the Marlboro Man. He is survived by six children.

pendence Square, there was no immediate reaction from the relatively small crowd gathered in bitter cold near midnight.

A key issue will be the amnesty offer, which could allow for the release of dozens of protesters currently being held in jail in exchange for an end to the demonstrations.

The statement did not say the opposition would agree to those terms. Doing so could infuriate radical factions within the broad-based protest movement, such as the group called Right Sector that has driven

much of the recent violence.

Several hours before the statement, Right Sector issued its own demands, which include punishing officials responsible for the deaths and abuse of protesters, disbanding Ukraine’s feared riot police and locating all missing opposition figures.

Protest leaders say scores of people have gone missing, presumably arrested.

Three protesters died in the clashes last week, two of whom were shot by hunting rifles, which police insist they do not use.

Obama: Address time ‘to restore opportunity for all’

announcement and insisted on anonymity.

“Tomorrow night, it’s time to restore opportunity for all,” Obama said Monday on the video-sharing site Vine, part of the White House’s broad social media promotion of the speech.

“I think the way we have to think about this year is we have a divided government,” White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said. “The Republican Congress is not going to

rubber-stamp the president’s agenda. The president is not going to sign the Republican Congress’ agenda.”

The address, delivered before a joint session of Congress and millions of Americans watching on television and the Internet, typically garners a president his largest audience of the year. It also provides perhaps his best opportunity to try to persuade skeptical Americans that he still wields substantial power in Washington, even if he can’t break through a divided Congress.

The risk for Obama in cen-

tering his agenda on his own executive actions is that those directives often are more limited in scope than legislation that requires congressional approval. And that raises questions about how much impact he can have.

For example, Obama can collect commitments from businesses to consider hiring the long-term unemployed, as he’ll announce Tuesday night, but without the help of Congress he can’t restore expired jobless benefits for those Americans while they look for work.

NEW YORK – The top executive of a New York Citybased Bitcoin company and a Florida Bitcoin exchanger have been charged with conspiring to commit money laundering by selling more than $1 million in Bitcoins to users of the black market website Silk Road, authorities said Monday.

Charlie Shrem, 24, the chief executive officer of BitInstant and vice chairman of a foundation that promotes the Bitcoin currency system, was arrested Sunday at New York’s Kennedy Airport, and Robert Faiella was arrested Monday at his Cape Coral, Fla., residence.

Faiella and Shrem conspired to sell the Bitcoins to criminals who wanted to sell narcotics on Silk Road between December 2011 and October, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a release.

Future of state’s income tax hike When state lawmakers return to Springfield on Tuesday, they are expected to take up the future of the state’s income tax.

The right thing to do is to keep their word to the public and allow the increase to roll back beginning in 2015.

The history of the tax increase is dubious in and of itself. It was passed in January 2011 with the help of lameduck lawmakers, For the record some of whom went on to find Rather than focusing on gainful employretaining a “temporary” tax ment working increase, legislators instead for the state of should spend the time before Illinois. the tax increase rollback to The increase create a government we can hiked the tax on afford. personal income from 3 to 5 percent for individuals, and on corporate income from 7.3 to 9.5 percent.

While this unpopular increase was negotiated, lawmakers decided that it should be temporary, and that by 2015, rates should decline to 3.75 percent for personal income and 7.75 for corporate income.

The argument against allowing the tax to roll back is that it will create budget deficits: Gov. Pat Quinn’s office of management and budget projects the state budget deficit would grow to $1.9 billion in 2015 and $4.1 billion in 2016 if legislators keep their word to taxpayers.

But that seems more like an argument for the state to adjust its spending priorities, something that is long overdue. Illinoisans haven’t been paying the full price of the government they have, which is evident from the $100 billion in unfunded pension obligations and backlog of unpaid bills the state has accrued.

The chief benefit of the income tax increase has been to enable the state to continue spending beyond its means. Despite all-time highs in collected revenue, the unpaid bills remain, as does the pension chasm and the state’s lowestin-the-nation credit rating.

Rather than focusing on retaining a “temporary” tax increase, legislators instead should spend the time before the tax increase rollback to create a government we can afford. We also need to find revenue streams beyond the old standbys of “sin taxes” on tobacco, booze and gambling, gambling and more gambling.

One surefire way to generate more revenue without raising taxes is to grow the economy and attract new jobs. To do that, Illinois needs a tax policy that makes it more attractive to outside investment, not less. High taxes on people and companies are not a selling point.

Lawmakers included a sunset clause in the tax increase legislation for a reason. Now is the time for them to make the tough decisions they did not make in 2011.

Vets deserve better Imagine returning home after serving your country in a combat zone.

You have suffered debilitating injuries – some physical, others mental – and you’re trying to adjust to life outside the uniform.

Finding a job has been tough – after all, loud noises make you duck for cover, and you can’t stand on your feet for long because of injuries from too many parachute jumps. You go to your local VA clinic – some of them hundreds of miles away, depending on where you live.

They diagnose you, get you some meds and send you on your way.

But then the bills start piling up. You still can’t find a job given your various ailments.

So, you apply for disability benefits through the Veterans Administration.

And wait. A week goes by, then a month, then six months.

You call. Several times. Each time you get someone different who tells you to send in a different form, to a different place. They tell you they didn’t receive the last forms you sent or they can’t find your medical records. They ask you to send them in again, to a different place.

You call back. You’re more desperate now.

“Oh,” the VA employee says, “we got one of the forms, but now we need you to send in a different form.”

It’s frustrating and has been a years-long process for some vets. Many give up.

VA officials have acknowledged that “the ball was dropped,” and have vowed, for years now, to reduce the wait time and make it easier for vets to apply for the benefits that are rightly theirs to claim.

The VA now has a new computer system that may help eliminate delays and reduce some of the “disappearing document” problems that stall valid disability applications.

By 2015, VA officials are promising to process all claims within 125 days.

That’s not soon enough, but the VA is at least marching in the right direction.

Our legislators need to continue putting pressure on the VA to get this mission completed. Because no man or woman who has served our country should ever be left behind.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Voters don’t matter To the Editor: Illinois voter choices are set by two political parties and a gaggle of also-rans.

Only the Democrats count.

Republicans are mostly a bad joke. Voters certify party choices but cannot deviate. Write-ins are allowed but unsupported by media.

Wednesday’s “Our View” ignored the lock on the process enjoyed by the Illinois Democratic machine. All of this is because you follow your own marching orders. Voters just ratify.

The reason for redistricting the 8th Congressional: Joe Walsh. He is now a radio commentator. Tammy Duckworth was imported from Washington, given millions in funding, a gerrymandered district and top handlers (so she keeps quiet) to regain the 8th District, in which she has no interest. She held no prior office. The now-Democratic redistricted boundaries look like an amoeba.

Sen. Peter Fitzgerald was stopped by then-Republican House

Speaker Denny Hastert. He said Fitzgerald “was not a team player.”

Fitzgerald appointed three honest U.S. attorneys who effectively canceled the tickets of many of Illinois’ worst judges and politicians.

The machine chafed but prevailed.

Fitzgerald took no campaign funds from anyone. In this example, key Republicans served Democrat Machine interests. Except for Election Day, voters are irrelevant.

Some offices are uncontested.

These are of limited impact. Even so, Illinois’ record number of townships and school districts, by design, remain job generators.

Only exceptionally stupid, greedy officials are reluctantly culled from the herd. Most voters refuse to legitimize graft, give up and move out. Illinois is still the Land of Oz. Thaddeus J. Kochanny Ingleside

Not so!

but it does not affect their love for their children in any way.

It can happen that children think they are not loved when they are reproved for their actions by parents, but that does not make it true. And it can be that people hate others for their actions, but it still does not negate the goal – to love the sinner and hate the sin.

This is something parents do every day without even thinking about it. Many times every day. Let’s keep it up.

Hipsters deserve our gratitude, not contempt Hipsterdom is like alcoholism.

An alcoholic, Dylan Thomas famously wrote, is someone you dislike who drinks as much as you do.

That about sums it up. As long as there’s one symptom you don’t display, you consider yourself safe. You will eat with hipsters, drink (craft beer or coffee) with them, listen to music (even on vinyl) with them – but you will never be one of them, and they merit only your contempt. Right?

Maybe not. “reasons i hate hipsters: -they use old or new technology -they drink coffee,” tweeted @ neonwario. “sometimes they listen to music, some of which is good and some not,” @michaelleung tweeted in reply.

If we don’t have something more cogent to say, maybe we need to cool our jets a little.

Think about all the hipsters have given us. Is it so terrible?

Independent coffee shops?

Yes, please.

Vinyl? Lay it on me! Can anyone who has ever had to open a shrink-wrapped jewel case and squint at tiny lyrics on a booklet the size of a well-fed Post-it note argue that a return to vinyl as the Physical Form Of Music is a bad thing? No. Yes, there are principled

VIEWS Alexandra Petri cases to be made about issues with appropriation or gentrification. Yes, all the irony can get exhausting. But the net result of a lot of hipster pursuits is that Something Tasty And/Or Fun Is Available That Wasn’t Before.

Why, exactly, are we collectively reviling the person who decides to, say, create a bar where there is gin and tonic on tap?

Don’t say “Ughhh!” Celebrate. Consider the hipster in all his stereotypical glory – sporting a mustache, listening to a band that doesn’t exist yet, claiming to have inside information about coffee. It’s annoying, but is it so bad?

They’re defined by the attempt to cultivate taste.

Hipsters insist that they have better taste than you. Sometimes, even more irritatingly, they are right. Hipsters have developed taste in music, beer, coffee and vintage clothes. These things are pretty accessible. People with good taste in beer don’t have to pay obscene amounts of money that people who cultivate taste in, say, wine or scotch do.

To be a hipster, you just have to

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

be willing to put in the effort.

“You can keep your labels,” hipsters say. “I have my Taste, and no one can take it from me.”

Arguably, this is the democratization of taste. Why wait until you are a billionaire to eat and dress better than fast food and big-box retailers suggest you should?

When a critical mass of hipsters converges on something, it is generally because the thing is both obscure and good. Think about it: Hipsters go out and find us nice music and nice plaids and nice restaurants and sturdy shoes, and we take up listening to it and wearing them and eating there. And for this we punish them?

I know what you’re going to say. There’s something almost pathetic about alternative culture after 2000 or so, in the sense that it is mainly an attempt by people who don’t know what it was like not to have instant access to everything you could possibly want – mass-produced for your convenience, boxed, shrink-wrapped and whisked to your door at a whim – to replicate what they imagine life was like Before, when one had to trek long distances and tailor her own clothing and grind coffee by hand with a pestle.

“What’s the matter with mass culture?” our elders ask, baffled.

“We didn’t stagger through cen-

turies of history so you could go trekking off on your fixie bicycle to buy vintage coats in a thrift shop. We have gears now, you realize? You can use them!”

At its worst, hipsterdom is a weird re-enactment of the 1960s by people who weren’t there.

But there’s an appeal to difficulty. The one rarity these days is Things That Aren’t Readily Available. That used to be the only kind of thing there was.

People fought long and hard so that would not be so. But maybe something got lost in the shuffle.

Yes, popular culture is good now. It knows what we want before we want it, and it gives it to us with just a few clicks.

But there’s no thrill of discovery. And sometimes it misses a spot. Sometimes we like things we didn’t know we’d like. And thanks to the Internet, if you find something obscure and good, it can spread rapidly, like wildfire – or Starbucks.

Look at food trucks, coffee shops, mustaches! Who would say that these things are not net boons?

We should thank the people who have given us so much.

Thank you, Hipsters, for all that you do. I won’t say “ugh” to you anymore.

POLICE WARN OF SCAMMERS CRYSTAL LAKE – Scam artists continue to target local businesses by posing as ComEd representatives.

The Crystal Lake Police Department has received new reports of fraud or attempted fraud, according to a release from the department.

During the scam, a caller says the business has late electric bills and threatens that the power will be shut off if the payments aren’t made immediately.

The caller says they can accept payment over the phone by credit card or check, and asks for a call back to balance the account, the release said.

Only businesses have reported being targeted so far. The correct numbers for ComEd are 800-588-9477 for residential customers and 877-426-6331 for business customers.

The department urges individuals to never provide personal information or pay for anything over the phone when they believe they don’t owe the requested funds. Attempted fraud should be reported to the Crystal Lake Police Department at 815-356-3620.

D-12 credit rating reduced Low fund balances lead to second drop in less than 2 years

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – District 12’s continued reliance on short-term borrowing to pay its bills resulted in a twonotch downgrade of its bond credit rating.

Moody’s Investors Service, one of the country’s largest rating companies,

downgraded the Johnsburg school district’s score to BAA1 from A2, taking its $10.3 million in outstanding general obligation debt from low-risk, upper-medium grade to moderate-risk, medium grade.

The drop was based off the district’s low fund balances and its increasing reliance on its working cash fund and

tax anticipation warrants to pay its bills despite a moderately sized tax base with above average socioeconomic characteristics, according to Jan. 24 report.

Because the district has low fund balances, it has been using tax anticipation warrants for the last four years to cover its bills as it waits for the next round of

property taxes to come in, Superintendent Dan Johnson said.

District 12 ran a $1.3 million deficit in its education fund last fiscal year, bringing its fund balance to $1.6 million, or about 23.5 days of cash on hand, according to financial statements for the fiscal year that ended June 30.

“The negative outlook reflects our expectation that the district will struggle in the near term to reach structural balance,” Moody’s report said.

This is the second downgrade for the district in less than two years, according to Moody’s.

D-26 sets registration fees Marengo library School board adopts new math program

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Registration fees will remain flat in District 26, the school board decided Monday.

The 2014-15 school year would be the fourth consecutive year fees will not be increased.

Based on current enrollment projections, the district expects to bring in about $365,000 after factoring in fee waivers for students on free or reduced lunch, according to a staff memo written by Jeffrey Schubert, director of finance and operations.

For this school year, Dis-

trict 26 budgeted to spend more than $1 million on textbooks, supplies, materials and technology students use every school day, according to district documents.

Fees cover only a portion of those expenses, Schubert wrote.

The board also approved the adoption of a new math curriculum from McGraw Hill Glencoe. Kindergarten through fifth-graders will use the “My Math” series, and sixth- through eighth-graders will use Glencoe’s “Success Your Way.” The cost of the math curriculum is $353,000, which was almost $67,000 under budget.

Glencoe has differentiated materials for special education and accelerated students, cross-curricular content for social studies and science and online components for students to use at home, among other things, according to dis-

The textbooks were developed after Common Core standards were developed, said Valerie McCall, director of curriculum and instruction.

eyes building sale Board looks to sell current location

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The Marengo-Union Library Board will start discussing Tuesday the sale of its building along State Street after renovations began earlier this month on the library’s new home along Grant Highway.

Board members won’t be making major decisions on the asking price for the building or the timetable of a potential sale until the renovation at the library’s new facility, 19714 E. Grant Highway, nears completion later this year, said Library Director Mary Hanson.

“We are not going to be making any decisions at this point,” Hanson said. “We

can’t really sell the building until we move out.”

The preliminary discussion Tuesday night on selling the current library at 200 S. State St., Marengo, should set the tone for more detailed planning in the coming months.

The Marengo-Union Library first moved to the downtown State Street building in 1991.

Library officials started looking for a bigger space in 2011, eventually acquiring the former Miceli drapery plant along Grant Highway.

Crews recently started renovating the 20,000-square-foot facility with basic plumbing and

Board also approved tech purchases • D-26 Continued from page B1 McCall added there are no annual recurring costs as consumables, such as textbooks and workbooks, will be shipped every year to the district at no charge for a period of six years.

The board also approved the purchase of 20 SMART Board bundles, 150 iPads, six projector bundles and four student response systems for about $260,000 as part of its technology plan implementation.

The purchase includes 10 additional SMART boards

Rating could affect bond interest rates • D-12 Continued from page B1 In July 2012, the district’s score dropped to A2 from A1.

The downgrade comes as the district prepares to ask voters for permission to take out up to $41 million in debt to finance maintenance and capital improvements, something Johnson said should help the district’s financial position by freeing up funds the district is currently spending on shoring up its aging infrastructure.

Some improvements, including new boilers, also may translate into lower utility bills, he said.

In the meantime, the district plans on reducing some of its expenditures so it can build a stronger reserve, Johnson said. The goal is to have the drop reversed in the next year or two, before – if voters give their approval March 18 – the district issues the next round of bonds.

The lowered rating could affect the interest rates the district receives on the bonds.

Although she said she is not against the SMART Boards, she questioned committing the leftover money right away because there could be other needs that might come up.

“I feel the turnaround time on [the money] needs to be sat on a little bit,” Crick said. “If we’re going to plunk all of this money back into the SMART bundles right away, what if we need that down the line?”

Superintendent Brian Coleman said the district’s top remaining priority was increasing the amount of SMART Board bundles in classrooms.

“We feel the technology that’s coming with our language arts and the math, [which] was just approved, will be a great enhancement for our teachers,” Coleman said.

8LOCAL BRIEFS Two arrested for heroin possession WOODSTOCK – McHenry County sheriff’s police arrested two people on felony drug charges after deputies responded to a tip that the pair had possessed heroin.

Philip J. Motroni, 33, of Woodstock, and Amanda C. Graves, 26, of Carpentersville, each face a charge of possession of a controlled substance, which is a Class 4 felony. They were arrested Monday at Motroni’s home at 12308 Roger Road.

Deputies found about one gram of heroin and estimated the street value of the drug to be $100. Investigators also found drug paraphernalia, resulting in two additional misdemeanor charges for the pair.

Motroni’s bond was set at $10,000 and Graves’ at $20,000. Both remain in custody at the McHenry County Jail and are scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

The Sheriff’s Office Narcotics, K-9 and Intelligence Led Policing units assisted the Illinois Department of Corrections with the arrest.

Residents are encouraged to report illegal drug activity to the Narcotics Unit at 815-3344760 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 800-762-7867.

Jim Dallke – jdallke@shawmedia.com

People arrive Monday morning at Buffalo Wild Wings in McHenry in hopes of winning free wings for a year. Restaurant officials told patrons they couldn’t camp overnight or line up outside until 6 a.m. because of the frigid temperatures.

Wings trump weather Some brave bitter cold for free wings in McHenry

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Would you wait for hours in sub-zero temperatures for free buffalo wings?

That’s what some McHenry County residents were prepared to do early Monday morning as the Buffalo Wild Wings in McHenry offered free wings for a year to the first 100 people at the restaurant’s grand opening.

But as temperatures plummeted below zero and wind chills reached -25, Buffalo Wild Wings Regional Manager Jim Gleich sent people away and told them not to come back until 6 a.m.

“We normally let people line up all night and kind of make a party of it,” Gleich said. “But because of the weather we told everybody that they couldn’t come back until 6 a.m., and now we’re having them stay in their cars for safety concerns.”

When cars pulled in to the restau-

rant, located in the Shops at Fox River, each person was handed a number in the order they arrived. At 6:15 a.m. 26 people already had arrived and were given numbers.

At about 10 a.m. the restaurant opened, and the first 100 people received a coupon booklet for their free wings. The coupon allows for one small order of wings, which can be used only once a week.

The decision to keep people from lining up was an easy one, said Gleich, who had an off-duty sheriff’s officer stationed inside the restaurant to inform people of the company’s plan.

But people were prepared to brave the arctic temperature. The first person arrived at 10 p.m. Sunday.

“A gentleman thought he was going to sit here in a folding chair with a parka and stay here for 12 hours,” Gleich said.

Gleich said he didn’t know how many people would show up with the

cold weather, but once schools were canceled, he figured a crowd would show up.

“These are all high school kids out here,” he said. “They’re all 16, 18-year-old-kids right now.”

The first vehicle that arrived Monday morning was a truck with three Marion Central High School students. They planned to camp out last night with a tent and a heater, but were told they had to leave.

“We wanted to camp out,” said Logan Shaw, a Marion Central junior.

“We want to be the first ones to set foot publicly in B-dubs,” Marion Central sophomore Matt Crook said.

Once the group heard school was closed, they knew they wanted to get in line for the free wings. And they were prepared to battle whatever elements mother nature threw their way.

“There’s some crazy people out here,” Crook said. “We’re right along with them.”

Poll: Breaches not changing habits

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press NEW YORK – American shoppers say they are very concerned about the safety of their personal information after a massive security breach at Target, but many aren’t taking steps to ensure their data is more secure, says a new Associated PressGfK Poll.

The poll finds a striking contradiction: Americans say they fear becoming victims of theft after the breach that compromised 40 million credit and debit cards and personal information of up to 70 million customers. Yet they are apathetic to try to protect their data.

In the survey, nearly half of Americans say they are extremely concerned about their personal data when shopping in stores since the breach. Sixty-one percent say they have deep worries when spending online, while 62 percent are very con-

cerned when they buy on their mobile phones.

But just 37 percent have tried to use cash for purchases rather than pay with plastic in response to data thefts such as the one at Target, while only 41 percent have checked their credit reports. And even fewer have changed their online passwords at retailers’ websites, requested new credit or debit card numbers from their bank or signed up for a credit monitoring service.

The poll offers insight into the effects big data breaches can have on consumer behavior. There have been worries shoppers would dramatically change their habits since December, when Target announced the breach that could wind up being the largest in U.S. history. Weeks later, those concerns were elevated when luxury retailer Neiman Marcus disclosed that it too was the victim of a breach that may have compromised 1.1 million debit and

credit cards.

But security experts say the results show Americans have come to expect that security theft is a possibility when they use their credit or debit cards or provide retailers with phone numbers, emails and other personal information.

Experts also say the results show another expectation Americans have: While nearly 4 out of 10 say they have been victimized by personal data theft, most expect credit card companies, banks or retailers to take responsibility when that happens.

About 38 percent report they think they have either had someone make unauthorized purchases using their credit or debit cards without it having been physically stolen or that someone had used their personal information to apply for a fraudulent line of credit, the poll says. And just over a third of Americans think their personal information was compromised in the breach at Target.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Home Depot in Crystal Lake will host a spring hiring fair from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Algonquin Township Office, 3702 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

The Crystal Lake Home Depot is looking to fill 50 positions that are seasonal with the potential to become permanent.

Job seekers also can apply for positions at other area Home Depot stores, said Claire Johnson, the store’s associate support department supervisor.

Home Depot is looking to fill a variety of positions, including bilingual associate positions, Johnson said. Applications also can be submitted at careers. homedepot.com.

Caterpillar 4Q results, outlook tops forecast NEW YORK – Caterpillar used a combination of cost-cutting and strong sales of construction equipment to deliver a fourth-quarter profit that topped Wall Street estimates and gave the sagging stock market some needed support.

The Peoria company has been buffeted by a sharp downturn in the global mining industry.

Sales of mining equipment plunged 48 percent in the fourth quarter, and profit in the mining business dropped 77 percent. As sales of large tractors and mining loaders slumped last year, Caterpillar shut plants and cut jobs. Those moves helped slash overall operating costs by $2 billion in the fourth quarter.

Strong results in construction and power systems also made up for the shortfall in mining.

The construction business posted an operating profit of $500 million in the quarter, compared with $26 million in the same quarter a year ago, aided by increased spending in the U.S. Caterpillar’s profit from industrial engines and power generators rose 38 percent to $964 million.

Caterpillar’s outlook for 2014 is also slightly better than what Wall Street is projecting. And the company’s board approved a new $10 billion buyback.

One recent concern for the stock market has been growth in China. Caterpillar said sales in China rose 20 percent in 2013. For this year, Caterpillar expects China’s economy to grow slightly more than 7.5 percent – about the same as last year. That should boost sales of excavators and other machinery, the company said.

Overall, for the three months ended Dec. 31, Caterpillar Inc. earned $1 billion, or $1.54 per share. That compares with $697 million, or $1.04 per share, a year earlier.

– From local and wire reports

Online shopping, ‘showrooming’ have downside for local retailers A CNN commentator recently led a discussion regarding the new direction consumers are taking in shopping. Apparently, a growing trend finds purchasers visiting local retailers, such as a woman venturing into a ladies fashion shop, to find a perfect outfit. This is good, but the lady has no intention of buying. She is secretly doing research for an outfit she intends to buy online. She utilizes store time and staff to gather information regarding designer, fit and style, then leaves the brick-and-mortar store to find an online retailer who will sell it cheaper.

Of course, the online retailer does not have the overhead costs of a local shop owner, and the online retailer often buys in bulk so the outfit can be sold cheaper. I took this information to two shop owners. One affirmed this trend is happening and hurting her business. Another shop owner said his business has changed from thriving to a business closing because of

CHAMBER NEWS Kay Rial Bates folks researching at his store, then choosing to buy online.

I found this new direction in shopping so disturbing I went a little deeper into why good people would consider it OK to take retailer time doing research for an item needed and then buy it online. I pondered, realizing that despite much good regarding the Internet, it can lead to isolation and a certain lack of interest in our neighbor.

Forgotten is the fact the owners of these local stores often live in our area and have to put food on their tables, just like us. They are part of our community. Online retailers are not. We seem to have forgotten local businesses are involved in our schools, pay taxes to our community, support needed services with sales tax dollars,

employ our community’s people and donate to area nonprofits.

Most importantly, local businesses arriving in McHenry fill our empty stores, bringing in a varied shopping experience.

The online retailer works against all of the above. In addition, buying online is done with someone unknown who is not accountable to us. The chamber gets complaints weekly by a disappointed online shopper. Is the practice of buying online really worth saving a few dollars? What does Internet shopping really cost us? Think about it.

TARANTINO SUES WEBSITE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Tuesday, January 28, 2014 • Section B • Page 6

Quentin Tarantino sued the news and gossip website Gawker on Monday over a post that directed readers to a leaked copy of the Oscar-winning screenwriter’s latest movie.

Tarantino’s lawsuit accuses Gawker Media LLC of copyright infringement for posting a link to the 146-page script for a planned film titled “The Hateful Eight” last week. A link to the script was posted on Gawker’s Defamer blog and remained active on Monday afternoon, despite demands from Tarantino’s lawyers to take it down, the lawsuit states.

His lawsuit states his damages as a result of the Gawker post will be more than $1 million.

BUZZWORTHY

Rosie O’Donnell coming back to ‘View’ as guest Proving nothing is impossible in the world of daytime television, Rosie O’Donnell is coming back to “The View” – at least for a day.

The show announced Monday that O’Donnell will be a guest on the daytime gabfest on Feb. 7. O’Donnell’s tenure as a panelist on the ABC show seven years ago was notably stormy.

O’Donnell said after leaving that she had experienced something like post-traumatic stress disorder, and show creator Barbara Walters said she resented the way O’Donnell dumped on the show.

Walters said Monday that she has great affection for O’Donnell. She called O’Donnell a lively and engaging guest who is a part of the show’s history.

This is Walters’ last season on “The View.”

Grammy win for Daft Punk boosts French pride

Helen Mirren to be honored at British Academy awards

They’re helmeted, mute and mysterious, and they’re suddenly the pride of France.

Duo Daft Punk did something no other French music group has done: Brought home four Grammy Awards in one night. Congratulations poured in Monday from French media, tweeters and bloggers – and even the U.S. Embassy in Paris. “See, France is capable of winning!” said commentator Jean-Jacques Bourdin on BFM-TV. The multiple wins for the electronic music pioneers Sunday night were a rare bit of good news in France amid bleak reports on unemployment (stuck around 11 percent) and the president’s personal life (complicated).

The men behind the masks, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, kept their French accents carefully concealed at the Grammys. The two, who only appear in public behind helmets, left it to Pharrell Williams to accept their awards.

While those in the French masses celebrate Daft Punk’s repeated trips to the podium at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, French officialdom has been strangely silent. Daft Punk’s work didn’t get a single nomination for the 2013 French music awards Victoire de la musique.

Perhaps that’s because, as critic Pierre Siankowski put it, “We have a problem in France with the mainstream.” Something as universally popular as the never-get-itout-of-your-head “Get Lucky” isn’t seen as “real art.”

That wasn’t a concern for the Recording Academy voters, who handed Daft Punk and Williams the trophy in every category they were nominated in at the Grammy Awards: Album of the year for “Random Access Memories.” Record of the year for funk-electronic anthem “Get Lucky.” Best pop duo or group performance. And best dance or electronica album.

Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren, whose roles have ranged from a hard-nosed detective to Queen Elizabeth II, is to receive the British Academy Film Awards’ highest honor.

The academy announced Monday that the 68-year-old will collect the BAFTA Fellowship at a London ceremony next month. Chairman John Willis said Mirren was being honored “as one of the most outstanding actresses of her generation.”

Previous fellowship recipients include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor and Judi Dench.

Mirren said that “to join that list of legendary names is overwhelming.”Mirren was acclaimed for her starring role in the TV detective series “Prime Suspect” and won a best-actress Academy Award in 2006 for playing Britain’s monarch in “The Queen.”

The awards ceremony takes place Feb. 16 at London’s Royal Opera House.

Max Roach music, records go to Library of Congress Music and recordings from Max Roach, one of the creators of modern jazz drumming, will be preserved at the Library of Congress, curators and his family announced Monday.

Over the past year, the library has been preparing and organizing Roach’s personal collection from his body of work over several decades.

The collection includes more than 100,000 items, including 80,000 manuscripts and papers, as well as photographs, music manuscripts and hundreds of sound and video recordings.

Roach worked with other such jazz greats as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk to develop the jazz style known as bebop. And beyond the confines of music, Roach was engaged with the civil rights movement.

“He’s a major figure, not just in jazz but in American music,” said Larry Appelbaum, a music specialist and jazz curator at the library. “Max represented much more than just a musician or even a composer. He was at the nexus of music, civil rights and black power because he was among that wave of socially conscious musicians.”

Roach studied music on many levels. He wrote about his disdain for the label of “jazz.” To him, it represented “the worst of working conditions for an artist.” He didn’t want to be reduced to a stereotype or cliche, curators said.

One of his most important cultural and political works was his “We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite” from 1960.

“It’s a bold statement,” Appelbaum said of the music. “And it really caught the fervor of the times.”

The NAACP signed him to a $1,000 contract to perform at a concert as part of the movement leading up to the March on Washington.

PREP RECRUITING NOTES

WHITE SOX

Huntley’s Parks has overcome obstacles

Garcia’s other side

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

AP file photos

ABOVE: The White Sox’s Avisail Garcia speaks to reporters during SoxFest on Friday in Chicago. BELOW: Garcia joined the Sox late last season from the Detroit Tigers.

Big softie hopes to hit hard CHICAGO – Even when he’s dressed in business casual – in this case, dark dress pants and a lavender button-down shirt – Avisail Garcia is intimidating.

At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, Garcia is built like some sort of Venezuelan linebacker. His eyes are dark and serious. His biceps fill his upper sleeves, and his neck and shoulder muscles prompt his shirt to incline sharply toward the collar.

God bless anyone who faces this guy when he has a bat in his hand.

But the mission here was to interview Garcia, toe to toe, away from the safety in numbers of the media scrum. The purpose was to gain a better understanding of the 22-year-old outfielder, who is expected to play a key role for the White Sox as they move toward a younger, more athletic roster in the seasons ahead.

Another goal? Try not to get crushed like a styrofoam cup by Garcia, who was talking and laughing with a few of his teammates before he was interrupted.

Start with a positive question, then. Time was ticking on the team’s media availability session, and soon the behemoth prospect would be whisked into another ballroom at the Palmer House Hilton to greet hundreds of cheering Sox fans.

What’s the best thing about the offseason?

A smile crossed Garcia’s face.

VIEWS Tom Musick “Being with my daughter,” Garcia said.

“That’s the best thing.”

And with that came a realization.

Garcia was a big softie.

Garcia’s wife, Anakarina, gave birth to the couple’s first child Sept. 16. The Sox’s slugger returned to the team a few days later, played the final 10 games of the season, and then turned his focus toward his burgeoning family and bright future.

As Garcia spoke about his daughter, he lifted his lavender sleeve.

On his left wrist, a cursive tattoo spelled out her name: Annarella.

“She’s amazing,” said Garcia, who has spent the bulk of his offseason with his family in Venezuela. “When she sees me, she’s just laughing, laughing, laughing. I play a lot with her, so she loves me a lot.”

At first, Garcia said, sleep was tough to come by as a new parent.

“First month? Nuh-uh,” Garcia said.

“Second month? Nuh-uh.

“Third month and a half? Yes.”

See MUSICK, page C2

Beth Parks sampled various activities, such as cheerleading and dancing, like many young girls do.

But the Huntley senior soon realized something from the sideline.

“I wanted to be the one playing,” said Parks, a senior soccer player for the Red RaidBeth Parks ers.

So Parks, who The Huntley overcame being senior will sign b o r n w i t h h i p to play soccer dysplasia, took at Division I u p s o c c e r a n d Colorado State. distance running.

Parks, an outside midfielder, will sign her NCAA National Letter of Intent next week with NCAA Division I Colorado State.

Feb. 5 is the first day of the signing period for soccer and several other sports.

“My dad [Bill] and I randomly looked at Colorado and flew out there,” Parks said. “We also found out Colorado State was starting a program and contacted the coach [Bill Hempen].”

The Rams were 2-13 in their first season last year. Coming from a strong high school program and from the Heat United travel program, Parks hopes she can step in and play right away in the fall.

“I loved it out there instantly,” Parks said. “[Hempen] liked me, and I liked the school. He came and saw me play with my club team.”

Parks committed to the Fort Collins school in July. She has come a long way since the surgery on her right hip at age 1.

Surgeons used a cadaver bone to restructure the hip. Medical personnel were able to fix her left hip through physical therapy.

Doctors told her and her family that running would be challenging.

“I didn’t listen to doctors’ orders very well,” she said.

Parks went for check-ups on a regular basis and eventually learned to deal with some of the pain.

“There’s pain, but I’ve gotten so used to it I can’t tell if it’s soreness or from [the surgery],” Parks said. “I’ve just grown used to it. I used to have more problems with it. I tried almost every sport, and soccer and running were the ones that stuck.”

Prairie Ridge claimed the last state spot after finishing sixth with a score of 85.57.

“They were very excited to advance after they didn’t get to go last year,” Cary-Grove coach Stephanie Zimmerman said. “They worked really hard and went through so much as a team this year. It’s going to be an exciting adventure for them.”

This is the second year competitive dance has been an IHSA-sanctioned sport. All four 2A schools will compete at Friday’s preliminary round, along with the 1A and 3A competitors.

TIMBERWOLVES 95, BULLS 86

Losing Noah too much for Bulls Flu-like symptoms send center home before loss

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – A team can only take so many punches.

Losing Derrick Rose for the season with a knee injury?

Staggering, but nothing the Bulls haven’t dealt with before.

Watching Luol Deng, the “glue of the team,’’ traded to Cleveland? A sad reminder of the business of basketball, but again not a season-ender.

Losing the heart of the team in Joakim Noah? Coach Tom Thibodeau is as good as there is, but at some point, a breaking point is reached.

It came Monday night, as Noah left the United Center with flu-like symptoms before the game with the Timberwolves even started.

And Minnesota took full advantage, beating the Bulls, 9586, and dropping their record against the Western Conference to 4-10.

That left a starting five of D.J. Augustin, Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy. In other words, you’re going to need a bigger boat.

“They’ve taken a lot of hits,’’ Thibodeau said. “Joakim missed almost the entire training camp, Jimmy got hurt in training camp, and then Derrick went down 10 games in.

So we’ve taken a lot of injuries and things of that nature … the Luol trade. But we have a lot of guys that are relatively healthy right now, and guys have come in and done a great job. D.J. coming in has been huge for us. But we need to understand

Next for the Bulls Bulls at San Antonio, 8:30 p.m.

Wednesday, CSN/ESPN, AM-1000 how hard we have to play being short-handed and you have to do that every night.’’

A point that got lost against the Timberwolves (22-22), who went right at the middle that Noah normally occupies, scoring 14 of their first 23 in the paint, and doing so with a heavy dose of Kevin Love.

The Bulls at least made it interesting in the second half, especially late. With 1:29 left, Augustin hit a 3 to make it a five-point deficit. Interesting got up and left with 1:10 remaining when Love once again attacked the hoop for an easy layup that gave Minnesota a 8679 lead.

Augustin has had no problem playing hero for the Bulls (22-22) in the fourth quarter the past three games, and while he did finish with 19 points, even he couldn’t keep his team from yet another Western Conference stumble.

If there was good news for the Bulls it was that Noah’s illness isn’t expected to hamper him from playing Wednesday in San Antonio, which will be the start of a six-game road trip against the West. If all goes well with Kirk Hinrich (right AP photo hamstring), they could also have their veteran point guard The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Kevin Love scores past the Bulls’ Jimmy Butler in the first half Monday at the United Center.

CUBS

Cubs apply for permit for sign in right field

By FRAN SPIELMAN fspielman@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Cubs have applied for a permit to put up a 650-square-foot sign in right field at Wrigley Field that will block, at least partially, the bird’seye view of the stadium from rooftops along Sheffield Avenue.

Alderman Pat O’Connor (40th Ward), Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s City Council floor leader, portrayed the permit application as a positive development – even if it forces the courts to resolve the long-running dispute standing in the way of the renovation of century-old Wrigley.

“It gets this show on the road. Now we have a finite time in which we’ll get an answer and get a project going,” said O’Connor, who had brokered the talks at the mayor’s request.

“They continue to try and find a way to resolve it, but some problems have to be resolved in litigation. Now there’s legal standing to get this before a judge.

And I’m fine with that. If nothing else, now they have a greater incentive to resolve this.”

The permit application was filed

late Friday after a tumultuous week that saw a near-agreement between the Cubs and the rooftop owners fall apart and club owners file a defamation lawsuit against a stadium financing consultant who once advised the Cubs’ prior owner, the Tribune Co. “We were hopeful we could come to some resolution. But given last week’s action, it appears that our proposal was rejected. They’ve decided to go forward with this legal action. We’re going forward with our right to put up the sign,” said Cubs spokesman Julian Green.

“This decision should not be construed as an indication that we’re moving forward with the entire construction project.”

Ryan McLaughlin, a spokesman for the Wrigleyville Rooftops Association, said the Cubs’ permit application means: Game on.

Rooftop club owners “assembled a legal team quite some time ago in preparation” for a court fight, sources said.

“Rooftop owners believe any blockage of our views violates the contract we have with the owners of the Cubs [that has nearly 10 years to run]. We

will proceed accordingly,” McLaughlin said.

“This is an unfortunate turn of events because our hope was to find a solution to this matter.”

Last fall, the Cubs put up a mock-up of the right-field that affirmed the worst nightmares of rooftop club owners who feared their views would be blocked.

The test run – using a sign that read “Wrigley Field” – was aimed at appeasing the rooftop owners and jump-starting stalled negotiations. Instead, it proved to Sheffield rooftop owners that views would, indeed, be blocked – even after the outfield wall is moved back by 15 feet. That would force rooftop patrons to look through the script sign because they won’t be able to see over it.

On Monday, Green made no apologies for the team’s decision to forge ahead with a sign that, both sides acknowledged, will block the views.

“Since Day One, we have reduced the number of signs, the size of those signs and changed the locations of signs. We have done everything we can to help alleviate the concerns of our rooftop partners,” he said.

“We’re now moving forward with

signs that are to help benefit this baseball club and this construction project.

This was always about putting up signs in the business interests of this baseball team to put revenue back into the ballclub.”

The Chicago Sun-Times reported last week that the dispute between the Cubs and rooftop club owners would be resolved in the courts, potentially delaying for years a project already decades in the making.

O’Connor said then the two sides were “very close to a deal” that would have shifted the right-field sign to the top of one of the rooftop buildings.

But the deal “fell apart” when rooftop owners got a clearer picture of the impact of a massive video scoreboard planned for left-field.

“They didn’t feel they could live with it. They would have been happy to have the sign reduced or have the sign moved across the street. They would have been happy to do anything to make the sign less impactful. The Cubs were looking at ways to reduce the potential monetary loss but not necessarily do things to the sign,” O’Connor said then.

Zambrano apologizes for Venezuela dust-up CARACAS, Venezuela – Former major league pitcher Carlos Zambrano apologized for starting a brawl during Venezuela’s winter series final.

His apology was carried Monday by El Nacional newspaper.

The Saturday night fight happened during the third game of the series. Zambrano struck pitcher Mayckol Guiape of the rival Caribes de Anzoategui after teammate Ezequiel Carrera of the Navegantes del Magallanes was hit by a pitch.

Zambrano asked forgiveness of Venezuelans and the Caribes organization for the “very embarrassing incident.” The Venezuelan League of Professional Baseball is investigating.

When Zambrano was in the majors with the Cubs he was suspended for 30 days in 2011 after a shouting match with teammate Derrek Lee.

Ravens hire Kubiak as offensive coordinator OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Former Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak was hired to be the Baltimore Ravens’ new offensive coordinator.

The 52-year-old Kubiak replaces Jim Caldwell, who left to become coach of the Detroit Lions. The Ravens also announced they have hired Rick Dennison, the Texans former offensive coordinator, as their quarterbacks coach.

Kubiak was offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos for three years before being named Houston’s head coach in 2006. He was fired Dec. 6 of this season after the Texans started 2-11.

Arizona lobbyist gets community service PHOENIX – An Arizona lobbyist targeted in a Fiesta Bowl corruption probe was sentenced Monday to 200 hours of community service and one year of unsupervised probation in a separate case.

Gary Husk, 56, was a leading figure in the Fiesta Bowl case but avoided any charges related to that probe after a lengthy investigation. His firm represented the bowl from March 2000 to January 2011.

In a deal with prosecutors, Husk pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to make a prohibited contribution while running an illegal campaign finance scheme.

In exchange, authorities sought no jail time and dismissed other more serious counts related to the Fiesta Bowl case.

Husk and his firm, Husk Partners, were charged with using the company’s money to reimburse staff members who made contributions to high-profile politicians, including Gov. Jan Brewer.

Garcia in full-time role Tough trip could bring out best in Hawks BLACKHAWKS

• MUSICK Continued from page C1

Soon, though, Garcia will be playing games with his teammates instead of his family. The Sox are hoping for Garcia to emerge as a consistent, middle-of-the-order hitter after he batted .304 with five home runs and 21 RBIs in 42 games late last season.

Maintaining a high batting average and on-base percentage will be tough for Garcia, a free swinger who has walked only 12 times in 307 big-league plate appearances. Yet his combination of power and speed caused Baseball America to rank him as Detroit’s No. 2 prospect and one of baseball’s top 100 prospects entering 2013.

One year later, Garcia is ready to take on the Sox’s full-time job in right field.

He’s also ready to say goodbye to his daughter for a little while when he goes to spring training in Glendale, Ariz.

“It’s going to be hard, but I’ve prepared myself for that,” Garcia said. “I’ve been working, preparing my body. I think it’s going to be

good. Hard, but good.”

Likewise, Garcia thinks he can improve upon his first two stints in the majors. All told, he has hit .289 with seven home runs and 34 RBIs in 95 career games.

This winter, Garcia has worked out at a baseball academy in his home country. He tries not to model his playing style after anyone else – he wants to be himself, he said – but it’s tempting to imagine him following in the footsteps of other top Venezuelan hitters such as Miguel Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez and Bobby Abreu.

“I think I’ve got the chance to play here every day, working with these guys,” Garcia said, glancing toward his teammates. “I try to be consistent hitting, defensively, running. Try to win games. Try to beat my numbers from last year.”

And embrace how his life has changed as a dad.

“Yes,” Garcia said. “Better baseball player, better person, better everything.”

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com The Blackhawks left the tundra of Chicago for the relative “warmth” of Calgary on Monday, embarking on their annual ice-show trip as Disney invades the United Center.

It usually means lighthearted talk about bonding on the road, playing freely without the distractions of home life, playing Mario Kart in the hotel and gathering as a team to watch the Super Bowl.

But the mood was decidedly different this time around.

“Let’s look at the short term,” coach Joel Quenneville said after a disheartening 3-1 loss Sunday to the Winnipeg Jets. “Let’s look at Calgary. Let’s be angry about what happened.”

Angry, frustrated, disappointed – the only momentum the Hawks are bringing with them is negative momentum. Consecutive losses to the Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild and Jets have all but erased the good vibes from the Hawks’ sweep of the Anaheim Ducks and Boston Bruins on Jan. 17 and 19. It’s hardly a crisis, but the Ducks have extended their West-

ern Conference lead to seven points and the St. Louis Blues have reduced the Hawks’ lead in the Central Division to one point and have three games in hand.

And this trip promises to be a tough one.

After visiting the Flames, the Hawks play the Vancouver Canucks, then run Joel the California gantQuenneville let – San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings and Ducks – before playing a solid Phoenix Coyotes squad and heading into the Olympic break.

“Look at it on paper, it’s some tough buildings and some big games,” said Quenneville, who’s looking for more energy than the Hawks had in their brief two-game trip last week to Detroit and Minnesota. “We didn’t have that pace that we’re accustomed to, and we’re going to need it going forward.”

The difficult nature of the trip might work to the Hawks’ advantage.

Aside from the fact that they’ve fared well on recent lengthy trips – 5-1 on

the circus trip in November, 4-0-2 on the ice-show trip last season – they’ve been at their best against the best.

“We always seem to rise to the occasion when we’re playing these top teams, and then sometimes we let off the gas, it seems,” winger Kris Versteeg said. “But whoever we’re playing on this road trip, whether it’s a young, energized team in Calgary or Anaheim or L.A., we’re going to have to play the same way every game.”

That means more energy, sounder defense and crisper offense, the kind of effort they got away from the last three games. As captain Jonathan Toews put it: “We need to get rid of these bad habits and get rid of them fast.”

That’s because the Hawks have only six games left to get back on track before the Olympics. They won’t play another game at the United Center until March 4, returning from the break with a road game against the New York Rangers, followed by the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field.

“It’ll just be that much more exciting when we do come back,” goalie Corey Crawford said. “We play good on the road. We’ll be fine.”

Shockers roll back toward NCAAs Wichita St. 1 of only 3 unbeaten teams

By DAVE SKRETTA

Athlete of the Week ZACH GORNEY Huntley, sr.

Gorney, a 6-foot-4 forward, had games of 18 and 16 points as the Red Raiders won two Fox Valley Conference Valley Division games for the week.

Gorney scored 18 points Tuesday as the Raiders defeated McHenry, 6141. He came back with a team-high 16 points Friday as Huntley held off Jacobs, 48-45, in a pivotal FVC Valley game. With that victory, Huntley took a two-game lead in the loss column over Cary-Grove and Jacobs.

Gorney, who had been mired in a shooting slump with his mid-range shots, broke out at a crucial point in the game, hitting a 3-pointer and two 17-foot shots. Gorney’s 3 came when Huntley trailed, 38-35, late in the third quarter.

His other two long jumpers each came with the Raiders chasing Jacobs by a basket in the fourth quarter. After Gorney’s second shot, Huntley did not trail again.

“I found it at a good time, I guess, started hitting when we really needed it,” said Gorney, who recently announced he will play next year at NCAA Division III Benedictine University in Lisle.

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Wichita State’s Ron Baker has grown accustomed to looking up in the stands during a pregame shoot-around, peering from one section to the next, and seeing few empty seats.

Not just when the Shockers are at home, either.

Fourth-ranked Wichita State, which beat Drake over the weekend to run its record to 21-0, has become a marquee opponent on everybody’s schedule.

When it rolled into Missouri State this month or Illinois State last week, the story was exactly the same.

“This is the third game in a row where people have said that,” Baker replied, when asked about drawing Drake’s best crowd of the year. “We’re starting to get used to it.”

All those fans are getting used to watching Wichita State win, too.

Along with top-ranked Arizona and No. 2 Syracuse, the Shockers are among three unbeaten teams left in men’s Division I basketball. Considering the weakened state of the Missouri Valley Conference and the schedule they still have left, there’s a good chance Wichita State will become the first team to enter the NCAA tournament with an unblemished record since UNLV in 1991.

The Shockers play Loyola on Tuesday night.

“These are really fine young people that we’re dealing with,” Shockers AP photo coach Gregg Marshall said. “They deWichita State forward Cleanthony Early reacts Saturday after making a basket against serve all the credit and the accolades they’re receiving. They work extremely Drake in Des Moines, Iowa. The Shockers won, 78-61, to improve to 21-0.

hard. They represent our university in a first-class way and they just continue to get better.”

That’s a scary thought for the rest of the nation.

Wichita State burst onto the national scene last season, when it knocked off top-seeded Gonzaga and Ohio State en route to its first Final Four since 1965.

It took mighty Louisville, the overall No. 1 seed and eventual champion, to finally send the Shockers home.

The Shockers lost a couple of key players from that team, including blood-and-guts leader Carl Hall and fiery point guard Malcolm Armstead, but the rest of their major contributors are back.

Fred VanVleet, a sophomore from Rockford Auburn, has emerged as one of the nation’s premier point guards.

Cleanthony Early, a breakout star of the Final Four, recently joined him on the Oscar Robertson watch list and made the Wooden Award midseason list.

Then there are the rest of the guys – Baker, Tekele Cotton, Darius Carter and a host of others – who have proved it doesn’t take five stars next to your name, or being anointed the next big thing while still in high school to win games on the college stage.

“We can’t walk out there and just impose our will because we’ve the best coach and the biggest and best players, and five-star guys, one-and-done guys,” Marshall said. “We don’t have that.

We’ve got guys that are good because they really work and they’re team-oriented and they care about each other and they’re committed and they’re strong-minded and they’re just tough.”

Noteworthy Chasing a milestone: Huntley’s Amanze Egekeze, a fourth-year varsity player, is closing in on 1,000 career points. Egekeze, a 6-foot-8 senior who signed with D-I Belmont, has 891 points and is third among area players at 18.3 points a game.

Crystal Lake South’s Austin Rogers likely would have passed 1,000 points, but the 6-2 senior forward suffered a knee injury last week that ended his high school career. Rogers, who has 820 points in two seasons, suffered a torn ACL, MCL, meniscus damage and a fractured bone in his right knee. Rogers leads the area at 23.4 points a game.

Great opportunity: Woodstock can grab the upper hand in the FVC Fox Division race with a victory Wednesday against Grayslake Central. The Rams are 4-0 in division games, Woodstock is 2-0.

“We’ve had a lot of different guys step up for us,” Blue Streaks coach Alex Baker said. “Against Johnsburg, Mike Chonos scored 17. Then when we beat Hampshire, Mitch Kohley had 22. We don’t know who it’s going to be night to night.”

Baker figured points might be difficult to come by Wednesday. The division appears to be well-balanced, top to bottom, but a home victory against a 4-0 team would be advantageous for Woodstock.

Nice preview: In Huntley’s 48-45 FVC Valley victory over Jacobs on Friday night a couple of freshmen – Jacobs’ Cameron Krutwig and Huntley’s Jack Bessey – gave fans a little glimpse of the future.

Krutwig scored nine points, with six coming in the third quarter while he was defended by Amanze Egekeze. On one move, he faked, pivoted and ducked under Egekeze to score.

Bessey scored only one basket, but it came at a critical time with Huntley trailing Jacobs, 38-35, late in the third quarter and tied the score, 38-38. Those two likely will provide a lot more big plays over the next three-plus seasons.

This week’s top games Grayslake Central at Woodstock 7 p.m. Wednesday, at James M. Shipley Memorial Gymnasium Grayslake Central is 4-0 in FVC Fox games and Woodstock is 2-0, so the winner gains an upper hand in the race.

Prairie Ridge at Jacobs 7 p.m. Saturday, at the Eagles’ Nest This starts the second round of division games and Prairie Ridge is three games back, while Jacobs is two behind FVC Valley-leading Huntley.

Huntley at Cary-Grove 7 p.m. Saturday, at Elroy Fitzgerald Gymnasium Huntley leads the Valley with a 5-0 mark, and C-G is 1½ games back.

The Trojans are 8-3 since a 58-25 loss to Huntley on Dec. 17.

Ramos to Dominican: DundeeCrown senior Carlos Ramos had not seriously considered playing college soccer before

this year, but that changed in the fall.

Chargers assistant coach Sebastian Falinski contacted the coaching staff at Dominican University, an NAIA school in River Forest, who came and watched the Chargers’ 19-1-1 team. Ramos, a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team defender, committed

last week to play with the Stars on an athletic scholarship.

“I love soccer so much, and it was a good opportunity,” Ramos said.

Ramos, who helped D-C’s defense record 13 shutouts, said Dominican was the only school he considered.

“I was amazed when I saw the campus,” he said. “It’s

beautiful. I could see myself going there, and their soccer program is successful.”

The Stars were 12-5-2 last season.

Atella to Platteville: Crystal Lake South defensive lineman Vinny Atella (6-foot, 240 pounds) will play football at D-III Wisconsin-Platteville next year. Atella started and

played a lot of time on the defensive line for South last season.

Peltier to MCC: Jacobs senior Reilly Peltier, a 6-4 righthander, will attend McHenry County College next year and pitch for the Scots. Peltier was the No. 3 starter last season for the Golden Eagles and was 4-1, with two saves and a 1.85 ERA.

First Super Bowl may well be last for aging Bronco Bailey VIEWS Hub Arkush

Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure sits with his wife, Gerri, in their home in Charlotte, N.C. DeLamielleure is convinced that he, like many former professional football players, suffers from the concussion-related brain disease CTE brought on by the many head blows and concussions experienced during his 13-year NFL career.

NFL

Unfounded concerns?

Unproven tests lead some to fear they have CTE

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO – After thousands of hits to his head and confronted with troubling symptoms, NFL Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure is sure he has the devastating brain disease CTE – even though the strongest scientific evidence says it can only be diagnosed in the dead.

He is certain because researchers trying to develop a test for chronic traumatic encephalopathy have essentially told him so, based on preliminary and unproven results.

To the 62-year-old DeLamielleure, the results are reassuring, offering a potential explanation for his sudden anger, depression and sleeplessness.

“They’re absolutely positive I have it. You can see it on the X-ray,” DeLamielleure said by telephone from his home in Charlotte, N.C. The former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman and several other retired players were tested last year at UCLA by researchers who told them that changes seen on the scans are consistent with CTE. They were told their brains resemble those of retired players who killed themselves and were diagnosed with CTE during autopsies.

Dr. Julian Bailes, co-director of the NorthShore Neurological Institute in Evanston, is part of that research team – one of many groups racing to develop methods to diagnose and eventually treat CTE. Bailes and co-researchers at UCLA think they’re leading the pack with a PET scan technique to detect abnormal brain buildup of a protein called tau. The test involves injecting a special chemical marker that is designed to bind to tau deposits in the brain; those areas light up on the imaging scans.

Their first results in living patients – five former NFL players, including DeLamielleure – were published last year. Research involving about a dozen more former athletes and others with multiple concussions is expected to be published later this year.

For many skeptics, including doctors, neuroscientists and researchers

“They’re absolutely positive I have [CTE]. You can see it on the X-ray.”

Joe DeLamielleure Pro Football Hall of Famer

working on developing different detection methods, CTE testing in the living is too preliminary to make any kind of diagnosis and raises serious ethical questions. The disease is progressive and can’t be cured.

Robert Stern, a scientist with Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, has a National Institutes of Health grant to do that kind of research; his team has examined more than 70 former NFL players so far. He said results so far are promising, and medical ethicists have been consulted for guidance on what to tell players about the findings.

“This is a very complex issue, because, No. 1, we don’t truly know what many of the tests might mean.

No. 2, this is a very vulnerable group of people who are scared to death about seeing their brothers have such significant cognitive and behavioral and mood changes,” Stern said.

“There has been so much hype about this issue,” he added. “The awareness and the attention to CTE has grown so tremendously in the last three to four years, but it has grown much, much faster than the science could possibly grow. We’re still in the early infancy of our scientific knowledge of this disease.”

Several former NFL stars have been diagnosed with the disease after death in recent years, including Junior Seau, Dave Duerson and Ray Easterling. All of them had troubling symptoms and committed suicide.

Thousands of former players have sued the NFL, claiming the league withheld information about damaging effects of repeated head blows and concussions. DeLamielleure is among them, and he is also among those who have agreed to donate their brains to CTE researchers.

DeLamielleure estimates he endured more than 200,000 head blows during his 13-year NFL career – “dings” that made him see stars but didn’t worry him much – until word started spreading about CTE. When he learned last year about the experimental test, DeLamielleure eagerly volunteered.

“When I read what happened to Junior Seau and Dave Duerson – they didn’t sleep, had wild mood swings, and shot themselves in the chest – I wanted to know what I was going through before something happened,” he said.

There is much that isn’t known about CTE, including why some athletes with a history of head blows never get dementia or other debilitating symptoms, who is most prone and whether genes or other health conditions increase the risk. Some of the symptoms occur in many people who never played contact sports, and in other diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

And some of the symptoms in former NFL stars may have nothing to do with head blows.

Leonard Glantz, a bioethicist at Boston University’s School of Public Health, said CTE tests in the living should be billed as experimental and that participants should understand they are research subjects, not patients.

“You don’t want anyone making predictions about what their life is going to be like based on these” experimental procedures, he said. He contends the results won’t be valid unless they can be duplicated in large studies done by scientists with no financial stake in the research.

The test method used on DeLamielleure and others is owned

by UCLA and licensed to TauMark LLC, a company in Wheeling, W.Va. UCLA researcher Dr. Gary Small has a financial interest in the company, a UCLA spokeswoman said.

The test is not commercially available but it likely will be “in the near future,” the company’s website says.

Company representatives did not return calls and emails seeking more information.

SUPER BOWL

THC-Hawks? Pot puns pack Super Bowl

By GENE JOHNSON The Associated Press SEATTLE – The way Bryan Weinman sees it, he and his friends already won their Super Bowl bet.

Two weeks ago, the nightclub DJ and a few buddies were sitting at a sports bar in Denver, joking about how funny it would be if the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos – the NFL teams from the two states that have legalized marijuana – made it to the big game.

They decided to plunk down a $44 wager – the fee for registering the Internet domain www.stonerbowl. org – just before the Seahawks and Broncos won their conference championships.

It paid off. They’re now using the site to hawk T-shirts and hats celebrating the coincidence. One shirt features the Vince Lombardi Trophy, reserved for the game’s victors, refashioned into a bong. Another features a spoof of the league’s logo, with

the letters “THC” – for marijuana’s active compound – replacing “NFL.” From weed-themed Super Bowl parties to a Denver company’s “Stoner Bowl” tours of recreational pot shops, this year’s Super Bowl offers a twist on a sporting event better known for its beer commercials.

Thanks to the recreational marijuana laws passed by voters in 2012, sales of taxed pot to adults over 21 began at Colorado pot shops Jan. 1 and are due to begin in Washington later this year.

There have been a slew of predictable, ready-made puns, most of which have to do with “bowl” being the part of the pipe where pot goes. Some fans have issued not-quite-serious calls for a cannabis-friendly musician – say, Willie Nelson or Snoop Dogg – to sing the national anthem.

“I’m staying home and will be watching the Super Bowl while I light up my own Super Bowl,” well-known stoner Tommy Chong wrote on his Facebook page.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The Pro Football Hall of Fame is filled with players who never played in a Super Bowl or NFL Championship game.

Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Dan Fouts and Dan Marino are just a few hall of famers who quickly come to mind as having never won a Super Bowl.

Tony Gonzalez is a sure-fire inductee who played 16 years without making it to the Super Bowl and changed his mind about retirement last summer to come back for one more shot just because his Falcons had been the NFC’s No. 1 seed two of the past three seasons.

But that type of heartbreak is what makes it special when a player like Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey makes it to his first Super Bowl in his 15th season.

“It has been a long hard road, but I’m just taking it in stride,” Bailey said. “I’m not trying to hype it up more than it should be. It’s still football.”

Bailey’s story is one people can feel good about. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has been in the spotlight for his less than kind comments about opposing players since the end of the NFC title game.

But, on the subject of Bailey, the self-described “best cornerback in the NFL” says, “I think Champ Bailey is a fantastic person and player, and I think he is going to be a Hall of Famer once his career’s done.”

“He’s kind of laid out the base work to be a lockdown corner in this league. He did it for a long time, and he’s still doing it.”

Asked when he really felt it sinking in that he was going to the Super Bowl, Bailey said, “I think once you start packing and you walk out of the house with your suitcase, that’s when you realize what’s in front of you. It’s a good feeling.”

While it’s the Seahawks’ secondary that’s demanded respect throughout the league for its “Legion of Boom” play, another Seattle All Pro, safety Earl Thomas, also is a huge Bailey fan.

“The longevity that he’s brought

Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey will make his first Super Bowl appearance Sunday against Seattle. to this game,” Thomas said. “I had him on my MySpace page when I was in high school and in maybe 10th grade. The guy has been doing it for a long time, and it’s been a humbling experience to see a guy who’s been in this league 15 years, and this is his only opportunity to play in the Super Bowl.”

Bailey had never attended a Super Bowl before.

“I didn’t see any reason to go,” he said. “I’m not going to cheer for anybody, and if I have no special interests in the game, other than being a fan watching it at home, why go?

That’s the way I’ve always been.”

Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin, going to his first Super Bowl in just his third NFL season as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Stanford, can’t wait to meet Bailey on the field.

“I’ve always looked up to him,” Baldwin said. “It’s going to be an exciting opportunity for me to go up against one of the best to ever play the game at his position.”

Could this be it for Bailey if he wins?

“I’m not really thinking about retiring if I win,” Bailey said. “All I’m thinking about is winning and doing what I’ve got to do to win the game.

After the game, we’ll talk about that.”

Of the beginning of his Super Bowl experience Bailey says, “This is the worst part: sitting here answering all these questions I’ll have to answer all week. But I’m going to enjoy it as much as I can and just get ready to play this big game.”

BEARS

Bennett brothers consider joining forces in Chicago

By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Bears tight end Martellus Bennett has attended each of brother Michael’s playoff games this month – a luxury, given their concurrent NFL careers. ‘‘I know he didn’t want to be there,’’ Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett said Monday. ‘‘I know he wanted to be in the playoffs. It was a good thing. Hopefully next year, he’s playing the same time I’m playing.’’

Maybe on the same team.

Michael – finishing a make-good, one-year contract – would be among the fastest ways to fix the Bears’ popgun pass rush.

Martellus vowed to recruit his brother to Chicago, though he’s waiting until after the biggest game of Michael’s life.

And he might not take no for an answer. ‘‘I know he wants me to come out and play with him,’’ Michael said after the Seahawks’ first full day of Super Bowl week workouts. ‘‘That’s his dream – for us to both play on the same team. I think that’s my parents’ dream. ‘‘I wouldn’t mind playing with my brother, [but] I love playing for this team right now.’’

But – and this is the multimillion-dollar question – is it Michael’s dream? ‘‘I wouldn’t stop it if it was the opportunity,’’ he said. ‘‘I’m just playing for the Seahawks right now.’’

Michael said he would ‘‘love to stay in Seattle’’ but has thought about his brother’s dream.

Chicago is the only place they could play together – at least for a few years.

Martellus flew Monday to New York and tweeted shortly thereafter: ‘‘I really want my brother to come

to Chicago so I can pitch this idea to M&Ms: Michael and Martellus Bennett special blue and orange M&Ms. LOL.’’ Then, to be clear, he tweeted another message: ‘‘I’m not joking.’’

The Bears would welcome Michael like, well, family. His 8½ sacks this season lead the Seahawks and would have led the Bears.

And even with the raise Michael is expected to command this offseason, he would be more palatable to the Bears than defensive end Julius Peppers and his $18.2 million cap hit. ‘‘You do want long-term deals, but I don’t think about it as much as some people think I think about it,’’ Michael said.

Michael, who plays end and tackle, has more than twice as many sacks as all the Bears who lined up exclusively at tackle this season had combined.

He’s opportunistic, too — remember when the Bears were like that? – having forced a fumble in each of the Seahawks’ two playoff games. ‘‘He has tremendous versatility,’’ Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. ‘‘He plays inside and outside. He has a great motor, a great savvy about him.’’

Not bad for a player the Tampa Bay Buccaneers let walk away last offseason, forcing Michael to sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Seahawks. ‘‘It’s frustrating because, as a player, you go out there and you put everything on the line for the organization,’’ he said. ‘‘When it’s time to get your just due and you don’t get it, you feel a certain type of way.’’

Michael said it served as motivation. ‘‘I think every year’s a prove-it contract in the NFL,’’ he said. ‘‘Unlike the NBA, our contracts aren’t guaranteed. So every year you have to prove yourself, or you’ll be replaced.’’

Love at first bite New appliance makes your home cooked food taste like a 5 Star Restaurant Media Services Special Report

A new high-tech appliance makes your home cooked food taste like a 5 Star Restaurant.

It replaces your stove, oven, grill, microwave and toaster. It cooks 2 to 4 times faster than grills and stoves.

It also cooks faster than your microwave without drying out the food and destroying nutrition as microwaves do. And it is smaller than a microwave.

This new high-tech appliance will also save you a lot of money on food and energy costs. Now you will not have to pay an arm and a leg at a 5 Star Restaurant to get super tasting meals.

You can have super tasting meals all the time right in your home very inexpensively.

T h i s n ew h i g h - t e c h appliance is the Namath RapidCOOKER™ produced by the famous EdenPURE® Company, and provided by the Chef Jon Molnar, Specialty Food Company.

The Namath RapidCOOKER ™ grills, broils, bakes , toasts, heats and reheats. You will be able to grill indoors or outdoors.

The Namath RapidCOOKER ™ is the official grill of The Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Namath RapidCOOKER ™ will also cut your time in the kitchen by 50% to 75%.

For the amazing story on how the Namath RapidCOOKER™ was developed, here is my interview with Joe Namath.

Q: How did a famous Hall of Fame Football Quarterback get involved with a RapidCOOKER™?

A: My cousin is Chef Jon Molnar who runs The Chef Jon Molnar™ Specialty Food Company.

I told Jon that, now that I live in Florida, I really miss the food in The New York 5 Star Restaurants, especially the steaks. The 5 Star New York Steak Restaurants have the best tasting steaks in the world. The best is Peter Luger’s, which was rated the best steakhouse in the nation by USA Today.

I asked Jon if he could find out what Peter Luger’s does to make the steaks taste so good. So, Jon went to Peter Luger’s.

Jon was able to go inside Peter Luger’s kitchen.

He found their big secret is this. They cook their steaks with infrared heat with the heat source at the top in a Commercial Infrared Cooker. Infrared cooks much faster than all other heat sources. The infrared heat caramelizes the surface of the steak, which seals in the flavor, nutrition and juices.

This also has many health benefits. It also saves you a lot of money.

Jon then found out that the 5 Star Seafood Restaurants and other 5 Star Specialty Restaurants also use Commercial Infrared Cookers.

High quality Commercial Infrared C o o k e r s cost around $15,000.00

The secret of the 5 Star Restaurants

The secret of why food tastes so great in 5 Star Restaurants is that they have $15,000.00 Commercial Infrared Cookers which have the heat source at the top and seal in flavor, juices and nutrition. They also cook 2 to 4 times faster.

Now available for your kitchen

Pictured above is Joe Namath and his cousin Chef Jon Molnar with the breakthrough new Namath RapidCOOKER ™ which is the reduced size version of The Commercial Infrared Cooker. With the RapidCOOKER™, you can make food that tastes like a 5 Star Restaurant. It is small, 10.5" H by 13" D by 18" W, to fit any countertop.

The proof is in the taste

Below are a few of the typical comments from Namath RapidCOOKER™ customers:

Blake Brandon

Elizabeth McCourt

“I have eaten in the top restaurants across the country. I have never found a steak that tastes close to that of Peter Lugers in New York City. I couldn’t believe when I tasted a steak done in the Namath RapidCOOKER™ that it tasted as good as Peter Lugers. Now I can make steaks that taste like Peter Lugers right in my home. ” “Not only have I made great steaks with the Namath RapidCOOKER™ ... but it makes great tasting, perfect salmon and other seafood - like a 5 Star Restaurant.”

“My old grill always dried out my burgers. With the Namath RapidCOOKER™, my burgers are always juicy and great tasting like the top restaurants. It makes dinner time less stressful and clean up is a breeze.”

Laurie Glandt

Traci Kleve

The Namath RapidCOOKER™ makes the best tasting, juiciest barbecue chicken I’ve ever had better than the best restaurants.

Anyone who is serious about cooking needs this fantastic new appliance.”

and are very large.

Jon, along with the famous EdenPURE® company, developed the infrared Namath RapidCOOKER™, which reduced the size and cost of the Commercial Infrared Cooker to a small fraction of the Commercial Model. The Namath RapidCOOKER™ cooks as good as the $15,000.00 5 Star Restaurant Commercial Infrared Cookers. It grills, broils, bakes, toasts, heats and reheats. It replaces and is better than your stove, oven , grill, microwave and toaster. It is all you need in your kitchen.

Q: How is The Namath RapidCOOKER™ better than a stove, oven, grill, and microwave?

A: My RapidCOOKER ™ cooks food 3 to 4 times faster than a kitchen stove and oven. It cooks food 2 times faster than a gas grill and you can grill indoors or outdoors. It even cooks food faster than a microwave oven. For example the RapidCOOKER™ will

cook a one inch porterhouse steak in 6 minutes, while a microwave would take 7 to 8 minutes. But the RapidCOOKER™ will not dry out food and destroy nutrition like a microwave. Also you cannot brown food with a microwave because the microwave cooks from the inside out. The RapidCOOKER ™ also quickly reheats food. It can also replace a toaster and it makes great toast.

You can cook just about anything on the RapidCOOKER ™. It will make 5 Star Restaurant tasting steaks, ribs, chicken, burgers, seafood, eggs and toast that you ever tasted. It will also cook vegetables in a way that maximizes their taste and crispness. You can buy frozen French fries and instead of baking them in a regular oven which leaves them soggy, you can RapidCOOKER™ them, and they will be crisp. You can also make 5 Star Restaurant pizza like New York’s Little Italy Restaurants.

Now you can grill indoors The Namath RapidCOOKER™ enables you to cook delicious food like a Master Chef and you can grill indoors or outdoors. It cooks 2 to 4 times faster than gas grills and stoves, saves money and has many health benefits. It cuts your time in the kitchen by 50% to 75%. It grills, broils, bakes, toasts, heats and reheats. It replaces and is better than your stove, oven, grill, microwave and toaster. It is all you need in your kitchen. It’s also perfect for partying and tailgating.

Q: What are the health benefits?

A: First, the heat source is above. The excess fat f r o m m e a t d r i p s d ow n which is caught in a pan.

This reduces the fat content and calories of meat. My RapidCOOKER™ also seals in more nutrition in foods.

Infrared heat is well documented scientifically to have health benefits.

When you grill meat, it is hard not to burn it. Burnt meat is a carcinogen which is well documented in the medical profession. With the heat above and no flame to burn the meat, it is very easy to avoid burning meat.

Q: How does The Namath RapidCOOKER ™ save the consumer money?

A: The infrared heat produces heat for 30% less than conventional heat sources. You can save a lot of money on food because the RapidCOOKER™ cooks food so fast that you don’t have to make up big batches, much of which goes to waste. Government studies show that 25% of food is wasted because people cook more than the amounts they need. Therefore, my RapidCOOKER™ will pay for itself in a very short time.

You will also save a lot of money because you will not have to go to expensive 5 Star Restaurants to get a superb tasting meal. You can have it right in your home at a fraction of the cost.

Q: Where can you use The Namath RapidCOOKER™?

A: You can use it anywhere, indoors or outdoors.

It is electric so you just plug it in to any regular electrical outlet. It is small so it fits any countertop and is portable. It measures 10.5"H by 13"D by 18"W and weighs only 28 pounds.

You can use it in your kitchen, on your patio or on your porch. It is perfect for tailgating. It is great for apartments and if you have a camping trailer or motor home. You can also use it in motel rooms when you travel and save a lot of money on food yet eat like a king.

Q. How can my readers get The Namath RapidCOOKER™?

A. Top quality Commercial Infrared Cookers cost around $15,000.00.

Exercising balance Advice for recovering athletes during, after an illness

By PAM STUPPY More Content Now Successful training is a key factor in an athlete’s performance. It can help to improve the skills and fitness required for upper levels of physical activity.

Unfortunately, many athletes do not pay adequate attention to a foe aside from their obvious competitors – their own immune system.

Illness can mean the athlete loses training time and may be unable to train at an adequate level. It also can affect motivation and mental toughness often required by upper-level athletes.

Bouts of illness or even just not feeling their best can interfere with the rhythm and habitual nature of ongoing training.

Moderate levels of exercise actually reduce the risk of illness or infection and can be anti-inflammatory. As training increases, however, there is evidence of reduced immune system strength.

Longer and more intense bouts of exercise can lower resistance to illness.

Numerous factors Numerous factors can contribute to this change in immunity.

Lifestyle issues such as impaired sleep duration or quality, overtraining with inadequate recovery, improper diet, weight loss, dehydration or chronic emotional stress can lower immune protection.

Environmental factors may also play a role – exercising at higher elevations, exposure to air pollution or extensive traveling, for example – in challenged immunity and increased illness risk.

Some of the physical postexercise changes in the immune system appear to be because of the production of stress hormones and biochemical changes in the body.

Acute and chronic physical activity can affect the number and function of the immune system “army” in the body. Chronic emotional stress also increases the release of substances like cortisol that negatively affect the immune system.

Dietary concerns With regard to dietary factors, inadequate intake of carbohydrates, protein and a number of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) and phytonutrients can all compromise the immune system.

Athletes looking for a competitive edge sometimes turn to high intakes of supplemental nutrients with the idea that “more is better.”

For some nutrients, high doses can actually impair performance and in some cases, lead to toxicity. Also, research suggests exces-

Illness can mean the athlete loses training time and may be unable to perform at an adequate level – during both workouts and competition. sive doses do not improve performance any more than adequate intakes.

The exception would be athletes testing low in iron or vitamin D who may need higher amounts.

Protein intake: Balance is important for protein intake. as well. Athletes should strive to consume adequate, but not excessive, amounts.

Vegetarians and athletes in aesthetic or weight-sensitive sports such as gymnastics, dance, ice skating and endurance running who may be limiting their food intake are often at higher risk for inadequate protein intake.

Carb intake: Although carbs have gotten a bad reputation from popular weight-loss diets, low carb intake can lower immediate and stored energy. This can trigger a stress response that can negatively affect the immune system if it continues over an extended period of time. Sources of carbs should be consumed before, during and after extended bouts of activity.

Nutrients: Nutrients specifical-

ly known to be related to immune system function include iron, zinc, vitamins A, E, B6, B12 and possibly vitamin D. As athletes increase their calorie intake with more strenuous activity, the implication is their total nutrient intake increases to potentially cover any increase in need. Insufficient calories or a nutrient-poor diet can lead to deficiencies.

To consume a wide range of nutrients needed for optimal performance, a healthy diet containing a variety of foods is recommended, with possibly a basic multiple vitamin instead of megavitamins.

Athletes should focus on nutrient-rich foods – fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, beans, nuts, seeds, some healthy fats and calcium sources – rather than food/beverages containing “empty calories.” This is especially important for athletes who are still growing and developing.

A healthy diet also supports a better balance of intestinal microbes that can assist with immune function.

Fluid intake Inadequate fluid intake can counter immune function, too.

Exercising in cold or dry environments affects mucous membranes that otherwise assist with keeping out microbes.

During a training season is not the best time for weight loss. As noted above, inadequate amounts of calories, macro- and micro-nutrients will work against training efforts, make recovery more difficult and increase physical stress – all of which can lead to increased risk of illness.

Reducing exposure to microbes is helpful, as well. This means attention to personal hygiene, limiting exposure to people who are ill and trying to limit time spent in group settings (especially difficult for team athletes).

Over-training Over-training is another cause for lowered immunity. Cumulative over-training is especially problematic. Recovery is extremely important. This means sufficient time for the body to

repair itself, for energy stores to be replaced and for replacement of depleted nutrient stores.

Athletes noticing any reduction in energy levels, extreme fatigue, moodiness, poor concentration, more frequent bouts of illness or reduced performance should play detective as to why.

By getting to the root of the problem and making any necessary lifestyle changes, these symptoms can often be reduced.

A better goal would be to prevent a potential downward spiral of performance by maintaining positive lifestyle habits as an integral part of training.

Communication is key in patient safety, preventing error Studies have shown lack of proper communication is a leading cause of medical errors.

In hospitals, such errors are more likely to take place during shift changes. An example would be at the end of the day, when the resident doctors who have been caring for their patients are replaced by residents who will be covering for them during the night and early morning hours.

A recent study was done to determine if fewer errors during shift changes would

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold be made if residents received more training. The training consisted of a two-hour session discussing methods that would improve their communication skills during shift changes. This included implementing the best methods for verbal and written discussions concerning the patients. Also included were the utilization of standard-

ized verbalized methods and restructuring the manner in which discussions took place, emphasizing more of a team approach.

All of these changes were referred to as a “handoff bundle.” The implementation of this handoff bundle resulted in a significant reduction in the number of medical errors and a decrease in preventable adverse events.

Although such training is helpful and needed, there are still unresolved issues.

Recently, there has been a

significant decrease in the number of hours residents can work. Work hours were decreased because of the concern that working too many hours could cause sleep deprivation and physical exhaustion. This could lead to errors and poor judgment.

Hopefully, by working fewer hours, residents would be more alert and better able to emotionally and physically care for their patients.

However, by reducing their hours, the residents who know most about their patients are less available,

and this may have a negative effect on patient care.

When I was a resident, we usually worked every other night. By spending more time with our sick patients, we were better able to see and understand the ebb and flow of the disease process.

We also were better able to detect important nuances and changes in our patients that might be missed by the covering resident not as familiar with the patients.

Certainly, changes need to be made to improve patient care. But as in all changes, it

is equally important that the pendulum does not swing too far to the right or left, as this sometimes results in more harm than good.

Exercise benefits those at any age

By JEANNE ERDMANN The Washington Post Early one morning about eight years ago, my mom, then just shy of 90, stood at the door of my home office and said her left arm hurt between her shoulder and elbow. Scared she was having heart problems, I called our family doctor, who sent Mom for a full day of cardiac testing.

One test required her to walk on a treadmill. The staff hovered, worried she’d lose her balance and tumble off.

The attention was unwarranted. She easily kept up and even had enough breath to inform her attendants: “You know, I work out with a personal trainer every week.”

She still does.

Mom has always valued exercise, and I’m convinced – along with her doctors, who are backed by a strong body of research – her longtime fitness habit has slowed her decline and kept her in generally good health. (That pain in her arm turned out to be nothing.)

Exercise is “the best medicine no one wants to do,” said Ronan Factora, a gerontologist at the Cleveland Clinic.

Even tiny bits of fitness bring big rewards. A 2011 study that aimed to figure out whether a low level of exercise could bring health benefits showed even 15 minutes of walking a day can add three to five years of life.

“I tell my elderly patients that it doesn’t take very much exercise to benefit them,” Factora said. “We’re not talking about breaking a sweat.

I’m not asking you to run a marathon. I’m just asking you to get up and move.”

People at any age benefit from exercise, he said, and the frailest residents in nursing homes benefit the most.

Exercise helps keep aging bodies healthy by increasing blood flow to the brain, carrying extra oxygen and other nutrients. It also helps keep blood pressure and blood sugar at normal levels, lowering the risk for vascular dementia, Factora said.

Exercise also can lower the risk for dementia by keeping the hippocampus – the

place in the brain where we make and store memories – a healthy size, according to some research. As we age, the hippocampus shrinks, raising our risk for dementia.

In a study published in 2010, researchers tested aerobic exercise on 120 healthy adults. After one year, the hippocampus increased in volume by 2 percent in the group participating in aerobic exercise – “effectively reversing age-related loss in volume” by one to two years, according to the researchers. The volume declined in control group members, who were not asked to do aerobic training.

Even frail people with dementia benefit from exercise.

According to a new review by the Cochrane Collaboration, eight clinical trials found that people with dementia who exercised improved their performance on tests used to evaluate memory loss. The reviewers expressed cautious optimism about the results, noting there were differences in results from individual trials and that there was not enough evidence to show exercise improves symptoms of depression.

“Nevertheless, these are encouraging results, as dementia is a debilitating disease that results in progressive decline in cognition and ability to perform” daily activities.

Frailty itself should not keep those with cognitive impairment out of the gym.

Researchers at the University of Heidelberg showed recently that people with dementia can be taught to use exercise machines, and the exercise done by people in this group can be rigorous. And these workouts can help them both physically and mentally, Everyone has limits, and it’s always best to start slowly, but “move from zero to something,” Factora said.

He suggests having someone such as a physical therapist help monitor progress at first. Then move to a personal trainer and exercise on a regular schedule.

For my mom, exercise hasn’t always meant the gym.

When my sisters and I were young and playing in the

Washington Post photo

Jeanne Erdmann’s mom started working with a trainer at age 85. She walks in pain every day, but she goes to the gym anyway. yard, she’d always race us to the back door. She kept fit in part by cutting the grass in our large yard, a practice she continued throughout her 70s.

“I’ve been doing this my whole life,” Mom said. “I used to be a secretary and I sat at a desk five days a week, so I always felt like I wanted to get up and move.”

After Mom was widowed 13 years ago, she moved in with my husband and me.

To help with her social life and keep her osteoarthritis at bay, I signed her up for an aerobics class we took together. She and the instructor hit it off so well, I signed Mom up for weekly private workouts with her.

From the start, the trainer put Mom, then 85, through a challenging, hour-long program that works every major muscle group. Today, Mom’s left knee is bone on bone – end-stage joint disease.

She walks in pain every day, and some days are worse than others. But she goes to the gym anyway, climbing the stairs to the weight room even on really achy days.

Mom warms up on a

recumbent exercise bike for about eight minutes. Then her trainer starts her on a circuit of resistance machines and free weights. Mom works her abs by sitting on a bench and doing crunches by lifting her knees to her chest. She stays on the same bench and works her legs by repeated standing and sitting. Then, she uses 2-pound free weights for her biceps and shoulders.

She’ll do some push-ups against the wall before moving to the equipment for more upper- and lower-body work.

She and her trainer finish up on the mat with a few more abs, and they end with some stretches. If Mom’s knee is really bad, they’ll skip the mat and finish with abs and stretches with Mom sitting on a bench. By then, her hour is up. Her doctor is amazed and delighted she continues this routine, and tells her he wishes all of his patients were that active.

Years ago, after Mom and her trainer had been working together for a few months, the trainer had Mom on a mat and said to me, “Hey, come here and your feel your mom’s abs.” They were rock-hard.

Mom hasn’t always had it easy. She survived two bouts with breast cancer. When she was 74, she broke her first bone – her right wrist – when, as usual, she was moving too fast and slipped on the basement floor. At the time, I was working as a bone researcher at what used to be Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Every Friday morning, we had a department-wide bone conference. Not long after Mom broke her wrist, Stanley Birge, a gerontologist at Washington University School of Medicine, spoke about exercise and falls in the elderly.

Afterward, I signed Mom up for one of his clinical trials on exercise and aging. During one of the office visits when Birge was taking Mom’s family history, she complained to him I wouldn’t let her use the StairMaster in her basement unless I was there to supervise.

Birge called me, and we had “the exercise talk.” He said Mom’s spine was so riddled with osteoarthritis it would “snap like a rusty hinge” if she didn’t keep those muscles strong. He also told me to let Mom use the StairMaster because “we can’t keep our

parents in glass houses.”

After that, I let Mom use the StairMaster whenever she wanted, and I added some exercises to strengthen muscles in her upper back.

In 2007, Mom fell while running to answer the phone.

Her left side hit the slate floor in our entryway, and she broke her left arm just below the shoulder. Once the break healed, Mom could barely raise that arm. The orthopedic surgeon sent her to physical therapy for eight visits, saying she’d never regain her mobility. The therapist worked Mom’s shoulder in much the same way as her trainer, using weights and resistance training and a lot of stretching.

After four visits, you never would have known that shoulder was broken. The therapist called the doctor and canceled the rest of the visits, saying we’d be wasting our money if we continued with therapy.

As caregivers know, tending to aging parents takes its toll, even if the person you’re caring for is someone as wonderful as my mother. Three years ago, I began to think I really couldn’t do it anymore and visited some residentialcare facilities.

The places were nice, and the residents looked clean and well tended. But not one facility I visited had an exercise room. David Schless, president of the American Seniors Housing Association, assures me the places I visited are the exception.

“Starting about 10 to 15 years ago, it’s become much more common to include gyms in senior housing facilities,” he said.

Ultimately, I decided to keep Mom with us. She was 95 years old then, and I don’t think she would have lived to 98 had she moved into a residential facility.

Here’s what the years of working out with Mom have taught me: We greatly underestimate the sheer physical strength we’re capable of achieving at any age. A few weeks ago at the gym, I filmed my mom doing her second set of leg curls. I counted along, and at 10 reps, thinking she was done, I said, “That’s 10, Mom!” Her trainer corrected me: “She does 15.”

Dad looking to relocate hates to Febrile seizures in children usually leave his needy parents behind have no long-term effects on health Dear Abby: My two children and I have lived with my parents for a few years because I had some health problems. Now that I am healthy again, I’m ready to return to work and move to a new home, but I am encountering severe resistance from my parents.

As I have recovered, our situation has gone from my parents helping me to my assuming the majority of the household responsibilities.

My parents say they know I want to go back to work and know it will be good for me to be independent, but because of their own health concerns they need me to stay. I always have felt a strong responsibility toward my family, but I know not having a home to call our own limits the personal growth of my children and me.

I have been offered a great job in another state that would allow me to provide well for my children, but I feel crushing guilt for even considering leaving my parents to fend for themselves. I know this will be a life-changing decision for all of us, so please give me an objective point of view. –

Dad Torn In Two Directions In Texas Dear Dad: On an emotional level, of course your leaving will be traumatic for your parents. They will miss you and the children and all the activity in the house they have become used to. Also,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips someone may have to assume the household chores you’ve been taking care of.

If you accept this job – and in my opinion you should, if you can’t find one that pays as well closer to your parents – perhaps you could subsidize a housekeeper, a cleaning company or someone to help with the yard work a few times a month.

Dear Abby: I have been married to “Sean” for five years. I am 27, stand 5 feet 7 inches tall and weigh 120 pounds. Sean is constantly pushing me to exercise more, and he comments on my thighs and stomach a lot.

He tells me it’s not a weight issue, but I need to “work off some fat and gain more muscle.” He wasn’t like this when we got married.

I love my body, and I know I’m not fat or overweight. I walk 4 miles round trip to work. My entire work day is spent on my feet, walking or running. I get plenty of exercise, and I’m healthy and active.

This is really hurting my confidence. It bothers me to hear that someone I love thinks my normal body is unattractive because of barely-there “fat.”

I don’t know what gave Sean this idea. How do I

deal with it? – Just Right In

Arizona Dear Just Right: The kind of body your husband would like you to have seems more descriptive of a skinny teenager than a healthy young woman. Is he a body builder or a gym rat? You can deal with it by asking your husband why he thinks your normal body is unattractive, listen carefully to his response and, if necessary, run it by your doctor.

Dear Abby: I was wondering if a woman can be considered engaged to a man if she is still married to another man, but separated?

I have a friend who has been separated from her husband for two years. They live apart, but not “legally.”

Can she be considered engaged? Wouldn’t her ring be a promise ring and not an engagement ring? Please help me clear up this confusion. – Confounded In West

Virginia Dear Confounded: To declare oneself engaged while legally married to another person does appear to be premature. However, your friend can call herself whatever she wants if it pleases her. The same is true for what she calls the rock she’s wearing. If you value her friendship, you’ll let it slide and not contradict her.

Dear Dr. K: My 9-monthold daughter had a seizure the last time she had a high fever. The pediatrician said it could happen again. What do I need to know?

Dear Reader: The medical term for what your daughter experienced is febrile seizure.

I was taught febrile seizures are caused by a high fever or a sudden rise in body temperature. The effect of the higher body temperature makes the brain “irritable” and causes a seizure. But in the last few years, we’ve learned it may be more complicated than that.

Some childhood seizures are caused by a new infection with a common virus, called human herpesvirus 6. This virus infects most children at a young age and remains in their bodies for the rest of their lives.

When a child first is infected with this virus, it travels to the brain, where it causes a fever – and may cause chemical changes in the brain that lead to seizures.

We don’t know how many febrile seizures are caused by this virus. We do know severe febrile seizures that don’t end promptly often are caused by the virus.

What is a seizure? The

Read all about it ...

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff brain’s nerve cells communicate with each other by giving off tiny electric signals in a tightly controlled process. However, when someone has a seizure, large numbers of cells start firing in an uncontrolled process.

(On my website, www.askdoctork.com, I’ve put an illustration of what electrical activity in the brain looks like normally and during a seizure.)

Depending on where in the brain the seizure starts, and whether the electrical firestorm travels to another part of the brain, seizures have different effects on the body. Some seizures cause a person to temporarily lose consciousness. Some cause different muscles in the body to twitch or jerk uncontrollably. Others just cause temporary strange behavior.

As your doctor mentioned, many children who have had a febrile seizure will have another one. One of the best ways to prevent one is to prevent a high fever. If your daughter develops a fever, have her drink plenty of water and

fruit juices to prevent dehydration. Give her ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol), but not aspirin.

You cannot stop a seizure once it starts. If your daughter has a seizure, the following can help keep her safe: • Place her on her side or stomach on a safe, flat surface, such as the floor. Keep her away from furniture or objects that may cause injury.

• Tilt her head to the side to prevent choking.

• Do not restrain her or put anything between her teeth.

• Observe her carefully so you can describe the events to your doctor.

• If the seizure lasts longer than about five minutes, call your doctor.

Otherwise, call your doctor after the seizure is over to arrange an appointment if necessary.

It can be extremely distressing to watch your child experience a seizure.

Fortunately, most children outgrow this condition, and febrile seizures generally are not harmful and do not cause long-term problems.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - You will be emotional, giving, understanding and admired by others this year. Your generous attitude will be enthusiastically reciprocated. You can develop stronger bonds with family members. You will have to learn to accept what you cannot change and stay positive even when things don’t work out as planned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Investment opportunities will be dubious and unlikely to yield results. Be scrupulous about whom to trust with your hard-earned cash. Don’t be easygoing about lending money to other people.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It may be a challenge to relate to your partner right now. Listen carefully to his or her concerns, but avoid voicing your opinions.

You can’t win today, so it’s best to keep to yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Investing in property will be your best bet. Make the effort to examine your options carefully. Consider joint ventures. Women in your life may present you with opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Romantic opportunities can develop while traveling for business or attending a talk. You can complete contracts or formulate new agreements that will lead to prosperity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can improve your financial situation through carefully considered investments or handling other people’s money. Secret goings-on may lead you down an undignified path.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may see a return on past investments now. You will cherish the company of children if you choose to engage with them intelligently. Self-improvement projects will have a beneficial outcome.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will be most efficient if you can work from home today. Catch up on any housework or other chores you have been avoiding lately.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must take full advantage of any opportunity to travel. Keep your personal life to yourself for the time being. Correspondence is unlikely to reach you on time today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You will likely feel extravagant. Your lover may end up costing you today.

Avoid lending money or possessions to female friends.

Concentrate on your work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You should make time to discuss the future with your partner. Short trips or outings will help to ease your communication. You may overreact to personal issues today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Being evasive or avoidant will backfire on you today. Now is the time to come clean and hope for the best. If you are imprecise in your communication, you will be misinterpreted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone may try to undermine you today. Be clear and direct when talking to superiors or colleagues. Don’t leave any room for misunderstandings.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Alfred North Whitehead, an English mathematician and philosopher who died in 1947, said, “It requires a very unusual mind to make an analysis of the obvious.”

What some people see as obvious, others ind unusual.

Take, for example, today’s deal. Look at the North hand.

Your partner opens one heart, you respond one no-trump, and he rebids two clubs. What would you do now?

It looks obvious to raise to three clubs, game-invitational.

But you would do that with a weaker hand. For example, take two of the low clubs and make them low diamonds.

You would still raise to three clubs. This hand, though, is more powerful. In fact, if you had had king-queen-jack-sixth of clubs and the diamond king, you probably would have responded two clubs, not one no-trump, planning to rebid three clubs. How can you show a very good threeclub raise?

By rebidding two spades.

This cannot be natural, because you would have responded one spade, not one no-trump, with length in that suit. And it says nothing about your holding in spades.

(The same call can be used if opener rebids two diamonds and you have excellent support for that suit.)

In this instance, South, with those wonderful aces, should continue with three spades to describe his distribution, and leave three no-trump as an option should North have strong diamonds.

Here, North would probably bid four clubs and South would raise to game.

As you can see, ive clubs needs either the heart inesse or the club inesse to work.

But three no-trump has no chance with the club inesse failing.
