Ex-sheriff’s sergeant pleads guilty Pyle faces 30 years to life for child sex crimes; state charges pending

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

Gregory M. Pyle, 38, admitted to having sex with a minor.

They’ll send you a Web cam if you don’t have one.”

On Friday, he pleaded guilty to the same charge he once was tasked with investigating.

In federal court, Pyle, 38, formerly of Crystal Lake, admitted to crossing state lines to have sex

with a minor and distributing images of the sex acts over the Internet.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Love described the sex acts as “masochistic, sadistic and violent.”

WEATHER BENEFITING SOME AREA STORES

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – An investigation into an outbreak of a superbug bacterial infection shows Illinois hospitals are learning to take preventive steps quickly in cooperation with health authorities, the state’s top doctor said.

The 2013 outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae – or CRE – affected dozens of patients, with some cases apparently linked to a tainted endoscope used at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.

Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck said public health experts worked with the hospital to find the source of the outbreak of CRE. Carbapenems are a class of antibiotics considered among the last lines of defense against hardto-treat bugs.

“It is this type of coordinated effort that is vital to stopping CRE infections from spreading,” Hasbrouck said in a statement.

The hospital changed its sterilization procedures after the investigation to establish practices exceeding the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The investigation was written up in the current Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The design of the specialty endoscopes “might pose a particular challenge for cleaning and disinfection,” the report said.

Writer, estate dispute Sherlock copyright

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – It’s the kind of puzzle that might have amused Sherlock Holmes himself.

Now that copyright protections have expired on nearly all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s tales about the pipe-puffing detective in the deerstalker hat, are writers free to depict the character in new mysteries without seeking permission or paying license fees?

A federal judge in Chicago says yes, so long as they don’t stray into territory covered in the 10 stories still protected by copyright. Not so fast, says the Doyle estate, which is considering an appeal this month.

Descendants of the Scottish physician and author argue he continued to develop the characters of Holmes and Dr. Wat-

son in the later works so they should remain off-limits until the remaining copyrights run out at the end of 2022.

“It’s a bogus argument. It means you can reprint Conan Doyle’s own stories freely but you can’t make up a new story?

It doesn’t make logical sense,” said author Leslie Klinger, who brought the case against the Conan Doyle Estate Ltd. to settle the matter.

With last week’s ruling in hand, Klinger plans to finish work on “In the Company of Sherlock Holmes,” a book of original short stories featuring characters and other elements from Conan Doyle’s work. He is co-editing the book with plans to publish this fall.

If appeals judges hold it up, the ruling could lift the threat of legal action for the untold scores of writers out there

churning out pastiches and fan fiction without permission.

Most of them fly under the radar. In Klinger’s case, the estate demanded $5,000, he said.

“Whatever decision they make will essentially determine the fate of many characters, not just Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, but very intricate characters such as James Bond. ... What happens as copyrights expire on Ian Fleming’s original stories?” said Doyle estate attorney William Zieske.

The ruling could also weaken the value of the Sherlock franchise to the point that major publishers and movie producers could also decide to move ahead with projects without licensing deals, said Paul Supnik, a Beverly Hills, Calif., attorney specializing in copyright and entertainment law who was not connected with

the case.

“At the very least it’s going to affect the bargaining power as to what the estate can do in trying to sell it to the studio,” Supnik said.

At the heart of the dispute is whether a character can be copyright protected over an entire series of works. The Doyle estate argues that a basic element of copyright law allows for that if the character is highly delineated, as opposed to a two-dimensional cartoon-like character who doesn’t change much over time.

In ruling against the estate, Judge Ruben Castillo called that a “novel legal argument” that was “counter to the goals of the Copyright Act.” The lawsuit was filed in Chicago because a literary agent for the Doyle estate is based in Illinois.

Politician resigns with letter in Klingon INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. – Call it a politician boldly going where no one has gone before.

On Thursday, David Waddell used the Klingon language to write his letter of resignation from the Indian Trail Town Council in North Carolina.

Waddell said he opted to use Klingon, the language of a warrior race on the “Star Trek” TV shows and movies, as an inside joke.

Mayor Michael Alvarez is calling the letter unprofessional.

Waddell said he is resigning at the end of this month. His four-year term expires in December 2015.

Waddell said he also needs to devote time to mounting a write-in campaign on the Constitution Party’s platform against U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan.

Texas library offers glimpse of bookless future

By PAUL J. WEBER The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO – Texas has seen the future of the public library, and it looks a lot like an Apple Store: Rows of glossy iMacs beckon. iPads mounted on a tangerine-colored bar invite readers. And hundreds of other tablets stand ready for checkout to anyone with a borrowing card.

Even the librarians imitate Apple’s dress code, wearing matching shirts and that standard-bearer of geek-chic, the hoodie. But this $2.3 million library might be most notable for what it does not have – any actual books.

That makes Bexar County’s BiblioTech the nation’s only bookless public library, a

distinction that has attracted scores of digital bookworms, plus emissaries from as far away as Hong Kong who want to learn about the idea and possibly take it home.

“I told our people that you need to take a look at this.

This is the future,” said Mary Graham, vice president of South Carolina’s Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce.

“If you’re going to be building new library facilities, this is what you need to be doing.”

All-digital libraries have been on college campuses for years. But the county, which runs no other libraries, made history when it decided to open BiblioTech. It is the first bookless public library system in the country, according to information gathered by

Similar proposals in other communities have been met with doubts. In California, the city of Newport Beach floated the concept of a bookless branch in 2011 until a backlash put stacks back in the plan. Nearly a decade earlier in Arizona, the Tucson-Pima library system opened an all-digital branch, but residents who said they wanted books ultimately got their way.

Graham toured BiblioTech in the fall and is pushing Charleston leaders for a bond measure to fund a similar concept, right down to the same hip aesthetic reminiscent of Apple.

Adding a baby to new health plans not easy

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

A pedestrian uses his cross-country skis on 58th Street during his morning commute Friday in New York. New York City public schools were closed Friday after up to 7 inches of snow fell by morning in the first snowstorm of the winter.

Extreme cold grips Northeast The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – Homeowners and motorists dug out across the white-blanketed Northeast on Friday as extreme cold ushered in by the storm threatened fingers and toes but kept the snow powdery and mercifully easy to shovel. At least 14 deaths were blamed on the storm as it swept across the nation’s eastern half.

While the snowfall had all but stopped by morning across the hard-hit Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor and many highways and streets were soon plowed and reopened, temperatures were in the single digits and teens, with wind chills well below zero.

“The snow is easy to move because the air was so cold when it snowed that it’s sort of light and fluffy stuff – but,

uh, it’s cold,” Avalon “Nick” Minton said as he cleared the entrance to his garage and sidewalk in Arlington, Mass.

“That’s the main part. It’s cold.”

And officials from the Midwest to New England are preparing for another arctic blast in the next few days that could be even worse.

The heaviest snow fell north of Boston in Boxford, which received nearly 2 feet.

Nearly 18 inches fell in Boston and in western New York near Rochester. Lakewood, N.J., got 10 inches, and New York’s Central Park 6. Philadelphia got more than 6 inches.

Temperatures reached 8 below zero in Burlington, Vt., with a wind chill of 29 below, and 2 degrees in Boston.

Wind chills there and in Providence, R.I., made it feel like minus 20 Friday morning, and the forecast called for more of

it would stay open around the clock until the cold breaks to give mariners and others who work in or around the harbor a warm place to stay, shower and eat.

The light, powdery snow was a blessing in another respect: It did not weigh down electrical lines or tree limbs, and as a result there were only a few thousand power outages across the Northeast.

Slick roads were blamed for several traffic deaths. In addition, a 71-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease froze to death after she wandered away from her rural western New York home.

And a worker in Philadelphia was killed when a 100-foothigh pile of road salt fell and crushed him.

Schools as far south as Washington, D.C., were closed on Friday. Many government offices also shut down.

Gov’t: Birth control should not be blocked

By JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CARBONDALE – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources accepted public comments through Friday on its proposed rules to govern the high-volume oil and gas extraction method known as “fracking.” It then will decide in the coming weeks if it will make changes based on that feedback, officials said.

A coalition of environmental and community groups that opposes fracking said Friday they had delivered 18,000 comments to the DNR; agency spokesman Chris McCloud said it had received 5,000 comments online as of Wednesday.

Residents also were permitted to mail in comments and many spoke at public hearings held in November and December.

Fracking – short for hydraulic fracturing – uses a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to crack and hold open thick rock formations, releasing trapped oil and gas. Combined with horizontal drilling, it allows access to formerly out-of-reach deposits. Supporters say it will create thousands of jobs but opponents fear it could pollute water resources.

The state’s first-ever fracking regulations, negotiated with the help of some environment and industry groups, were hailed as the toughest in the nation when they were signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn last summer. The DNR, which will enforce them, must adopt rules to reflect the law and published a first draft in November. But opponents complain the DNR’s proposed rules are inadequate and in some cases weakening the regulations passed by lawmakers.

Energy companies hope to begin fracking this year in the New Albany Shale formation in southern Illinois, where they hope significant oil deposits lie 5,000 feet or more below the surface.

the same into Saturday.

Emergency officials warned that anyone spending more than a few minutes outdoors in such conditions could suffer frostbite.

Wellington Ferreira said the cold was worse than the snow as he cleared a sidewalk in front of Johnny D’s Uptown Restaurant and Music Club in Somerville.

“My ears are frozen,” he said.

Warming centers opened around the region, homeless shelters received more people, and cities took special measures to look after those most vulnerable to the cold.

Teams in New York City searched the streets for homeless people, while in Boston police asked residents to call 911 if they saw someone in need.

In Newport, R.I., the Seaman’s Church Institute said

WASHINGTON – You were patient with the government’s kooky website, and now you have your health insurance card.

That’s good, since your family is expecting a new baby.

But you may have jump through more hoops to get the child formally added to your policy. The Obama administration confirms there is no quick and easy way for consumers to update their coverage under the new health law for the birth of a baby and other common life changes.

With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers still must cover new babies, officials say, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later.

For now, the HealthCare. gov website can’t handle new baby updates, along with a list of other life changes including marriage and divorce, a death in the family, a new job or a change in income, even moving to a different community.

Such changes affect not only coverage but also the financial assistance available under the law, so the government has to be brought into the loop. But the system’s wiring for that vital federal function isn’t yet fully connected.

At least 2 million people have signed up for private health policies through new government markets under President Barack Obama’s overhaul. Coverage started Wednesday, and so far, things appear to be running fairly smoothly, although it may take time for problems to bubble up. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius calls it “a new day in health care.”

Insurers say comput-

erized “change in circumstance” updates to deal with family and life developments were supposed to have been part of the federal system from the start.

But that feature got postponed as technicians scrambled to fix technical problems that overwhelmed the health care website during its first couple of months.

“It’s just another example of, ‘We’ll fix that later,’ ” said Bob Laszewski, an industry consultant who said he’s gotten complaints from several insurers. “This needed to be done well before January.

It’s sort of a fly-by-night approach.”

“We are currently working with insurers to find ways to make changing coverage easier while we develop an automated way for consumers to update their coverage directly,” responded administration spokesman Aaron Albright.

A Dec. 31 circular from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services addressed the problem.

In questions and answers for insurers, the government said the federal insurance marketplace will not be able to add a child until the system’s automated features become “available later.” It does not provide any clue as to when that might take place.

The federal marketplace serves 36 states through HealthCare.gov and call centers.

The Medicare agency, which runs the government’s other major health programs, is also responsible for the coverage expansion under Obama’s law.

The question-and-answer circular says parents with a new baby will be told to contact their insurer directly “to include the child immediately” on their existing policy.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration urged a Supreme Court justice Friday to stop blocking the new health care law’s requirement that some religion-affiliated organizations provide health insurance that includes birth control.

The Justice Department called on Justice Sonia Sotomayor to dissolve her last-minute stay on the contraceptive coverage requirement of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Sotomayor issued the stay on New Year’s Eve, only hours before the law’s coverage went into effect.

Under the health care law, most health insurance plans have to cover all FDA-approved contraceptives as preventive care for women, free of cost to the patient. Churches and other houses of worship are exempt from the birth control requirement, but affiliated institutions that serve the general public are not. That includes charitable organizations, universities and hospitals.

In response to an outcry, the government came up with a compromise that requires insurers or health plan administrators to provide birth control coverage but allows the religious group to distance itself from

Read all about it ...

that action. The exemption is triggered when the religious group signs a form for the insurer saying that it objects to the coverage.

The insurer can then go forward with the coverage.

A group of Denver nuns who run nursing homes for the poor, called the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged, say signing that form makes them complicit in providing contraceptive coverage, and therefore violates their religious beliefs.

They want Sotomayor to make the injunction permanent until the case can be hashed out in court, or for the Supreme Court to agree to take their case now.

Government officials “are simply blind to the religious exercise at issue: The Little Sisters and other applicants cannot execute the form because they cannot deputize a third party to sin on their behalf,” said their lawyer, Mark Rienzi, who is also senior counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

But Solicitor Gener al Donald Verrilli said in court papers that nothing in the law will make those nuns pay for birth control for their employees. The nuns’ insurance is provided through a church plan that is not required to provide contraceptive coverage and has said it will not, he said, making their complaint baseless.

8NATION BRIEFS 2nd winner of lottery jackpot comes forward SAN FRANCISCO – California’s $324 million Mega Millions jackpot winner Steve Tran had a 3 a.m. epiphany earlier this week that spurred him from sleep and had him fumbling through a pile of lottery tickets on top of his dresser.

“I remembered, I think I went to San Jose,” the Northern California delivery driver told state lottery officials, who had publicized that the winning ticket was purchased at a gift shop in that city.

Tran checked his tickets, and the winner was “just sitting in my house, on top of my drawer.”

After hugs from family, Tran phoned his boss.

“I’m really sorry boss. I hit the jackpot. I don’t think I’m going to come in today, tomorrow, or ever,” Tran remembered.

Jahi McMath’s mom clear to take her from hospital OAKLAND, Calif. – A judge said Friday that the mother of a 13-year-old girl who was declared brain dead after tonsil surgery can remove her daughter from a California hospital if she assumes full responsibility for the consequences.

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo said Jahi McMath can be transferred under a deal with Children’s Hospital Oakland that will hold Nailah Winkfield accountable for developments that could include Jahi going into cardiac arrest.

The hospital has declared the girl brain dead and wants to disconnect her from a ventilator. Winkfield has gone to court to stop the move and wants to transfer her daughter to another facility after forcing the hospital to fit Jahi with breathing and feeding tubes or allowing an outside doctor to perform the surgical procedures.

Supreme Court reviews same-sex marriage law SALT LAKE CITY – Legal arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court about Utah’s overturned same-sex marriage ban have focused heavily on whether gay and lesbians can be suitable parents, provoking a debate on family values in the Mormon state.

Lawyers for the state set the tone for the debate in a 100page filing with the high court this week that made several references to their belief that children should be raised by straight couples. An attorney for same-sex couples says the state’s argument has no scientific backing and that denying gays and lesbians the right to marry actually causes severe harm to their children.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is considering Utah’s request to put an immediate halt on gay marriages in Utah.

Interior Department ends ‘Blueway’ program KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A U.S. Interior Department program intended to recognize conservation efforts along the nation’s waterways was dissolved on Friday amid opposition from landowners and politicians who feared it would lead to increased regulations and possible land seizures.

The National Blueways System was created in May 2012 under President Barack Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative. The program was voluntary, didn’t include any new regulations, and a designation – bestowed on only two rivers, one of which was dropped last year because of local opposition – brought no additional funding.

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement that her agency decided to disband the program, which was formed by her predecessor, Ken Salazar, after a departmental review.

Sniping shadows Kerry’s pursuit of peace

By DEB RIECHMANN The Associated Press JERUSALEM – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s closed-door diplomacy to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians has burst into a public spat, with both sides trading blistering criticisms, Republican senators showing up in Jerusalem to argue Israel’s side, and Palestinian demonstrators protesting his visit.

Kerry is on his 10th visit to the region to try to craft a peace treaty that would create a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

He met for three hours on Friday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Later in the day, Kerry traveled to Ramallah, West Bank, to speak with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Although battered by sniping from all sides, Kerry remained upbeat – at least publicly.

Asked if he was making progress, Kerry replied that progress is being made every day.

Earlier, about 150 Palestinians demonstrators marched through the streets of downtown Ramallah to protest Kerry’s visit. They carried Palestinian flags and signs that said: “The northern, central and southern Jordan Valley are a genuine part of Palestinian sovereignty.” The West Bank’s Jordan Valley is a strategic area along the border

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (left) and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas talk Friday before a meeting at the presidential compound in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Kerry took his 10th trip to the region to negotiate a peace deal he claims is “not mission impossible.” with Jordan that Israeli hardliners, including members of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, say must be annexed by Israel for its own security.

So far, the two sides have engaged in about 20 rounds of negotiations, which have entered a more intense phase.

Kerry is asking both leaders to start making tough, highly political decisions in hopes of narrowing differences and agree on a framework that will outline a final peace pact.

The goal is for the framework, or series of guidelines, to address all core issues, including borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state, Palestinian refugees and conflicting claims to the holy city of Jerusalem. No agreement on a framework is likely during Kerry’s visit.

Political activist Abdallah Maslamani said a proposed framework that would guide negotiations on a deal protect the security interests of “the

terror state of occupation,” a reference to Israel.

One night earlier, the digs were coming from the other side. Netanyahu lashed out at Abbas, accusing him of embracing terrorists “as heroes.’”

Netanyahu criticized Abbas’ homecoming for more than two dozen Palestinians released earlier this week from Israeli jails where they had served time for deadly attacks against Israelis. The

Palestinian leader never condoned their crimes, but Netanyahu took offense.

“To glorify the murders of innocent women and men as heroes is an outrage,” Netanyahu said, dampening hope that much progress would be made on the contours of an eventual peace accord during Kerry’s visit.

On Friday, Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, responded to Netanyahu remarks, saying that even if Abbas were Mother Teresa, the Israelis would find a way to accuse Abbas of terrorism so he wouldn’t have to accept the Palestinians’ demand for a state in lands Israel captured in 1967.

Even in Jerusalem, Kerry couldn’t escape domestic politics interfering with international diplomacy. Three Republican senators held a news conference after meeting with the Israeli leader and reiterated his concerns, thereby emboldening Netanyahu’s position right before Kerry’s delicate talks with Abbas.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu has serious, serious concerns about the plan that has been presented to him – whether it be the ability of Israel to defend its borders, the viability of a Palestinian state and their intentions and their actions toward the state of Israel, and particularly on the overall security – whether it’s boundaries, areas under Palestinian control,” Sen. John McCain of Arizona said.

Al-Qaida-linked leader ID’d Idaho to take over privately-run prison

By RYAN LUCAS The Associated Press BEIRUT – DNA tests confirmed that a man in government custody is the alleged leader of an al-Qaida-linked group that has conducted attacks across the Middle East before shifting its focus to Syria’s civil war, Lebanese authorities said Friday.

The suspected militant, Majid al-Majid, is the purported commander of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades and one of the 85 most-wanted individuals in his native Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. State Department designated the group a foreign terrorist organization in 2012, freezing any assets it holds in the United States and banning Americans from doing business with the group.

The brigades have claimed responsibility for attacks throughout the region, including the 2010 bombing of a Japanese oil tanker in the Persian Gulf and several rocket strikes from Lebanon into Israel.

The most recent attack claimed by the group was the double suicide bombing in November outside the Iranian Embassy in Beirut.

Reports first surfaced in Lebanon early this week that authorities had detained al-Majid. Security officials eventually confirmed that they had a suspect in custody, but said they were not certain of his identity.

Lebanese people gather Nov. 19 at the scene where two explosions have struck near the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.

Lebanese and Saudi officials said DNA samples taken from the suspect would be checked against al-Majid’s relatives in Saudi Arabia, and the Lebanese army said Friday that tests established the detainee was indeed al-Majid.

Lebanese officials still have not disclosed when or where he was taken into custody, and his current location has not been made public.

The biggest winners from his arrest may be Syrian President Bashar Assad and his Lebanese ally Hezbollah, who have been the main focus of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades since al-Majid took the reins of the group in mid2012, said Mustafa Alani, the director of the security department at the Geneva-based Gulf Research Center.

The group was a relatively

small outfit under its previous leader, Saleh al-Qarawi, Alani said. Al-Majid, who is believed to have serious kidney problems that require dialysis, managed to build it into a larger player.

“It’s become much bigger.

Majid al-Majid was able to recruit a lot of Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese,” Alani said. “He’s more active, and far more clever than Qarawi.”

Part of al-Majid’s recruiting success can be attributed to the war in Syria, where a rebel movement largely composed of Sunni Muslims is fighting to topple a government dominated by Assad’s Alawite sect and his Shiite allies from Lebanon and Iraq.

The conflict has inflamed sectarian tensions across the Middle East, and acted as a magnet for Sunni militants and their Shiite counterparts.

BOISE, Idaho – Idaho will take over the operation of its largest prison from one of the nation’s biggest corrections contractors, abruptly ending an experiment with privatization at a facility that has been plagued by understaffing, multiple lawsuits and allegations of contract fraud.

The state is expected to begin running the 2,080-bed Idaho Correctional Center, located just outside Boise, over the next several months, as its $29 milliona-year contract with the Corrections Corporation of America expires on June 30.

Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter made the announcement Friday, saying he is advising the state Board of Correction to shift focus from finding a new contractor to assuming control of the facility.

“In recognition of what’s happened, what’s happening, it’s necessary. It’s the right thing to do,” said Otter, a longtime proponent of privatization who called the need to make the move “disappointing.”

CCA said that while there were “challenges” at the prison, it has and will

continue to respond to the state’s concerns. It said, “despite reported issues, there are overwhelmingly more positive things that have occurred at the facility during our partnership.”

The move to end the contract comes months after an Associated Press report raised questions about how the Nashville, Tenn.,-based company was staffing the prison, and is part of a larger debate over whether prison privatization works.

Studies have arrived at differing conclusions, focusing on whether privatization saves money to whether the companies do a better job of helping reduce the chances that inmates who are housed in the facilities will go on to commit crimes.

The private prison contractors over the past several decades have been brought in to run prisons, federal lockups and county-level jails.

The number of inmates housed in state and federal facilities grew from 85,500 in 2000 to more than 128,000 in 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

California officials are expanding their use of private prisons to meet a court order to reduce overcrowding.

Court: NSA still can collect phone records Iraq Al-Qaida sweep The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A secretive U.S. spy court has ruled again that the National Security Agency can keep collecting every American’s telephone records every day, in the midst of dueling decisions in two other federal courts about whether the surveillance program is constitutional.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Friday renewed the NSA phone collection program, said Shawn Turner, a spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Such periodic requests are somewhat formulaic but required since the program started in 2006.

The latest approval was the first since two conflicting court decisions about whether the program is lawful and since a presidential advisory

panel recommended that the NSA no longer be allowed to collect and store the phone records and search them without obtaining separate court approval for each search.

In a statement, Turner said that 15 judges on the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on 36 occasions over the past seven years have approved the NSA’s collection of U.S. phone records as lawful.

Also Friday, government lawyers turned to U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block one federal judge’s decision that threatens the NSA phone records program.

The opposing lawyer who spearheaded the effort that led to the ruling said he hopes to take the issue directly to the Supreme Court.

The Justice Department filed a one-page notice of appeal asking the appeals court

to overturn U.S. District Judge Richard Leon’s ruling last month that the program was likely unconstitutional.

The government’s move had been expected.

Larry Klayman, who filed the class-action suit against President Barack Obama and top administration national security officials, said he intends to petition the federal appeals court next week to send the case directly to the Supreme Court. Klayman said the move was justified because the NSA case was a matter of great public importance.

“There are exigent circumstances here,” Klayman said.

“We can’t allow this situation to continue. The NSA’s continuing to spy on everybody.”

Turner said U.S. intelligence agencies would be willing to modify the phone records surveillance program to provide additional privacy

and civil liberties protections as long as it was still operationally beneficial. He said the Obama administration was carefully evaluating the advisory panel’s recent recommendations.

Judges sitting on the secretive spy court have repeatedly approved the program for 90day periods. They also have repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of the program – a judicial bulwark that held strong until Leon’s surprise decision last month.

Leon said the NSA’s program was “almost Orwellian,” a reference to writer George Orwell’s futuristic novel “1984,” and that there was little evidence the operation had prevented terrorist attacks.

He ruled against the government but agreed to postpone shutting down the program until the government could appeal.

Courtney Kaminscky, 19, of Richmond tries on a helmet with the help of her mother Friday at Novotny Sales in Johnsburg.

‘People are going to be outside and want to have fun’ • SALES Continued from page A1 only add to the massive snowfall totals to hit the Chicago area.

The National Weather Service’s official reading site – O’Hare International Airport – has seen 22.1 inches of snow since Dec. 1. That total is 13.1 inches above the winter season average, Beachler said.

Businesses that sell winter apparel, snowblowers, shovels and salt depend on those wintry forecasts. Colder temperatures and snowier conditions usually create an uptick in customers at Alpine Accessories, Pasturczak said.

It also creates enthusiasm for those customers wanting to sled, snowmobile and snowboard.

“If mother nature keeps this up, people are going to

be outside and want to have fun,” Pasturczak said. “If that happens, people obviously will need more gear.”

Kip Novotny has seen similar effects at his shop. Since December, Novotny Sales has been selling snowmobiles, snowblowers and shovels “like crazy” to prepare for the early winter start, Novotny said.

The Johnsburg business offers an array of snowmo-

biles and snowblowers in the winter and focuses on swimming pools and grills in the summer.

The influx of early wintertime customers this season is a marked difference from previous winters, Novotny said.

“I’m thinking it’s going to be a snowy and cold winter,” he said. “With the bad weather, people who were on the fence are definitely buying materials now.”

Pyle faces 30 years to life; will be sentenced April 14 • GUILTY Continued from page A1 Pyle faces 30 years to life in prison. U.S. Judge Frederick Kapala, who accepted the guilty plea, will sentence Pyle on April 14.

Federal sentences typically are served at 87 percent, Pyle’s U.S. Public Defender Paul Gaziano said.

On Dec. 13, 2008, Pyle took the boy, a relative who was under 12 years old at the time, to a hotel in Milwaukee, Wis. During the overnight stay, Pyle had sex with the boy and later disseminated images of the acts over the Internet, Love said.

In exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge alleging that he produced child pornography was dropped.

That charge carries a mandatory 15-year minimum sentence.

The plea agreement saves the victim from facing his abuser in court, Love said.

“He’s already facing a sentence of life imprisonment under the sentencing guidelines, and a 30-year mandatory minimum. We didn’t think there was anything added by a plea on the second count,” Love said outside the courtroom.

“His plea … means the victim is protected from testifying.”

State charges against Pyle are still pending.

He was arrested on state charges in January 2012. For that he posted bond and was released, only to be rearrested on the federal indictment the following August.

McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs said the local sex charges – 10 counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, all Class X felonies – will move forward once Pyle is sentenced in federal court.

While the two cases are independent, Combs, who also is the Criminal Division Chief, said he hopes the federal plea will entice a local one.

“We’re still going to pursue charges,” Combs said. “I would hope he’s amenable to

accepting a plea deal.”

It was a long way to fall for the former U.S. Army officer and local law man, and it was a black mark for the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Keith Nygren said Pyle’s crimes should not be reflected on the men and women of the sheriff’s office.

“We had absolutely no indication that there was anything going on,” Nygren said.

“As soon as we had an inkling, we were on this guy and acted as we would with any other offender.”

Pyle earned an $85,800 annual salary at the sheriff’s office, until he was relieved of his law enforcement duties after his first arrest.

revives battleground

By QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA The Associated Press BAGHDAD – Two Iraqi cities that were strongholds of Sunni insurgents during the U.S. war in the country are battlegrounds once more after al-Qaida militants largely took them over, fending off government forces that have been besieging them for days.

The overrunning of the cities this week by al-Qaida’s Iraqi branch in the Sunni heartland of western Anbar provinces is a blow to the Shiite-led government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Malik. His government has been struggling to contain discontent among the Sunni minority over Shiite political domination that has flared into increased violence for the past year.

On Friday, al-Qaida gunmen sought to win over the population in Fallujah, one of the cities they swept into on Wednesday. A militant commander appeared among worshippers holding Friday prayers in the main city street, proclaiming that his fighters were there to defend Sunnis from the government, one resident said.

“We are your brothers from the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant,” militants circulating through the city in a stolen police car proclaimed through a loudspeaker, using the name of the al-Qaida branch. “We are here to protect you from the government. We call on you to cooperate with us.”

Government troops, backed by Sunni tribesmen who oppose al-Qaida, have encircled Fallujah for several days, and have entered parts of the provincial capital Ramadi, also overrun by militants. On Friday, troops bombarded militant positions outside Fallujah with artillery, a military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to release information.

Anbar province, a vast

desert area on the borders with Syria and Jordan with an almost entirely Sunni population was the heartland of the Sunni insurgency that rose up against American troops and the Iraqi government after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. The insurgency was fueled by anger over the dislodgment of their community from power during Saddam’s rule and the rise of Shiites.

It was then that al-Qaida established its branch in the country.

Fallujah became notorious among Americans when insurgents in 2004 killed four American security contractors and hung their burned bodies from a bridge. It, the provincial capital Ramadi and other cities were repeatedly battlegrounds for the following years, as sectarian bloodshed mounted, with Shiite militias killing Sunni.

Finally, major Sunni tribes turned against al-Qaida, forming militias that fought alongside American troops – bringing an easing of the bloodshed in 2008, before the American withdrawal at the end of 2011.

But 2013 has been the deadliest year since, with a resurgence of violence after al-Maliki’s government in April violently broke up a protest by Sunnis against discrimination by Shiite authorities.

Sunni anger further flared after authorities this past week arrested a senior Sunni politician and dismantled a months-old sitin in Ramadi over the past week.

As a concession, al-Maliki on Wednesday pulled the military out of Anbar cities to give security duties to local police, a top demand of Sunnis who see the army as a tool of al-Maliki’s rule. But al-Qaida militants promptly erupted in Fallujah, Ramadi and several nearby towns, overrunning police stations, driving out security forces and freeing prisoners.

Bacteria can cause fever or chills and infections • OUTBREAK Continued from page A1 The bacteria can cause infections of the bladder or lungs, causing coughing, fever or chills, and can be fatal, although there were no deaths in the most recent outbreak.

Dr. Tom Frieden, the head of the CDC, has called this class of bugs “nightmare bacteria” because they can spread their resistance to other bacteria and because of their high mortality rates. They kill up to half of people who get serious

infections.

Dr. Leo Kelly, vice president of medical management for Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, noted the help from the CDC and the Illinois health agency in an email. He said the investigation found no deficiencies with the hospital’s sterilization process.

“However, as a precaution, we have moved to gas sterilization for these particular scopes, which exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning and disinfectant guidelines to ensure no other patients are at risk,” Leo said.

So far, I have come up with a few ideas.

Please remember I’m not the Queen of Fun, tend to be frugal and everyone’s version of “good time” is uniquely their own. My list includes baking cookies for the family (I haven’t done this in years), starting the Netflix series “House of Cards,” and seeing Tributosaurus perform an all Bob Dylan show later this month. To break my frugality a little, I am aiming for regular pedicures, occasionally picking up the latest “The Economist” and maybe actually paying for a new app for my phone. I also thought about pulling out the issue of Entertainment Weekly that listed out the best of everything as a guide for books to read and older movies to watch. If this works according to plan, I may even offer up Armchair Reviews of these weekly forays into fun.

Quick Armchair Review: The Golfer and I saw a matinee showing “Wolf of Wall Street” on New Year’s Eve. We originally had planned on “American Hustle” but the most of the early showings were sold out so we went with Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. This tale of decadence, corruption and the craziness of the ‘90s is a long one (3 hours); I think some of our fellow movie goers got a little cranky towards the end due to hunger. We both enjoyed this movie for what is was: a fast-moving, well acted snapshot of a time when greed was really good. Not a top movie for me but we’ve seen some of the best of the year.

Enjoy this weekend and stay warm! Autumn

Tackling snow-plow challenge The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To snow-plow crews from McHenry County, area townships, municipalities and even private snow-plow service providers. While there’s nothing perfect about snow removal, dozens of drivers did their best over a difficult two-week holiday period to keep roadways clear so others could enjoy their holidays.

The heavy snows couldn’t have come at more inconvenient times, but many crews did their jobs regardless of the timing.

Thumbs up: To Crystal Lake South grad Tyler Simmons, who was honored on the field at halftime of Thursday night’s Sugar Bowl as part of the 2013 Allstate Good Works Team, a collection of athletes recognized for contributing to their communities. Simmons, a senior football player at Aurora University, helped organize a 5K run/walk to raise money and awareness for multiple sclerosis and coached in a youth flag football program. He also has volunteered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an organization that provides education, homes and jobs for mentally challenged adults and teens.

Thumbs up: To Chicago’s dropping crime rate. The city’s more than 500 homicides in 2012 made headlines across the country, not only locally. In 2013, the city saw 415 homicides, 88 fewer than in 2012 and 20 fewer than in 2011. It was the fewest the killings since 1965. Overall, Chicago saw a 16 percent drop in crime, saw the number of violent crimes, including robbery, aggravated battery and criminal sexual assault drop significantly, as well as drops in burglary and motor vehicle theft.

If farmers want to drug cattle, pay for it America’s animals take more drugs than its people do.

About 80 percent of the 51 tons of antibiotics consumed each day in the U.S. are used in agriculture and aquaculture.

Such unrestrained use of the drugs might help farmers grow bigger cattle, but it has a drastic side effect: It prods bacteria to evolve defenses, so that the drugs don’t work so well when given to people (or fish or animals, for that matter) suffering from bacterial infections.

The loss of these drugs as medical weapons also is astoundingly expensive. The current stock’s potential to prolong human life is worth upward of $60 trillion, according to a new report in the New England Journal of Medicine.

So it is welcome news that the authors of that report also have a novel way to protect this pharmaceutical treasure: Impose a fee on all uses of antibiotics outside of human medicine.

Their market-based strategy is worth a try.

Using government regulation alone to end the use of antibiotics to boost animal growth always has been a tricky proposition. The Food and Drug Administration this month asked drug makers to voluntarily relabel agricultural antibiotics so as not to allow it, and by 2017 the agency will require that veterinarians supervise the drugs’ application in livestock.

Fully enforcing this new mandate will take careful monitoring. Even then, farmers and their animal doctors still will be able to use antibiotics for the purpose of preventing disease in cows, chickens, fish and so on, rather than to help them grow.

Another strategy, contained in a bill now before Congress, would close the preventivetreatment loophole by gradually banning any use of antibiotics in animals that aren’t already ill or in close contact with infected animals.

But this approach, too, would require a fresh army of veterinarians to monitor use. And it would bar some arguably legitimate uses of the drugs – for example, to treat animals at the point when they are entering a feedlot and are vulnerable to infections.

The strategy proposed by the economist Aiden Hollis of the University of Calgary and Ziana Ahmed of the University of Toronto would allow farmers or their veterinarians to make their own decisions about whether any particular use of antibiotics is worth paying the price. That price would include a user fee, assessed at the point of purchase.

Such a fee is analogous to the royalties that timber and petroleum companies pay to use federal lands. In this case, the limited resource is not timber or oil but the effective life span of an antibiotic drug.

Keep in mind that drug resistance is a problem for farmers, too; they would benefit as much if not more than the rest of us if antibiotics were used less.

User fees could provide that elusive but necessary incentive to reduce the use of antibiotics on the farm.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Thanks from Turning Point To the Editor: With unemployment the way it is and the economy hard for so many people, I wanted to share something positive in our community.

Christmas came in such a fast-paced way, and with it came people willing to donate the things the clients of Turning Point needed.

They bought dish pans, cookie sheets, alarm clocks, clothes, toys, books and more. It was really overwhelming to receive.

Every one of our clients got what she put on her list and more. Our children expected to get one or two presents and instead got a lot more. It made the clients in shelter so happy.

And people wanted to help out the clients that were living in their

own homes, too. They donated items to the agency, and we got them to our clients.

Thank you doesn’t describe the outpouring of generosity this year, but it is all I have. Thank you very, very much.

Jane Farmer Executive director, Turning Point

Sorry state of finances To the Editor: In the Another View editorial published Thursday, it was mentioned that a contract with Maximus to weed out ineligible recipients of Medicaid was cancelled because of union pressure.

The union employees of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services filed a lawsuit, say-

ing the contractor was improperly hired and that the state should rely on state employees to conduct the review. Duh, that is the job of those employees. They were not doing the job they were hired and paid to do.

Either the union people should do their job, become unemployed be-

cause they’re not performing their responsibilities, or let an outside firm do the job.

An example of one reason the state is in such a sorry state of finances.

Binge-watching Obama’s gloomy shows After Christmas dinner, I intended to begin a holiday-season TV binge.

As I often do with things that could be entirely recreational, I made my watching into work: Given how hard it is to get into President Barack Obama’s head, I decided to get into his viewing habits. I tuned into programs he says he watches.

I hit limits. I couldn’t get beyond the point in “Breaking Bad” where the high school teacher turned meth dealer begins to take pleasure in selling drugs and killing rivals. “Game of Thrones” was too periodcostumey and gory. “Mad Men” is so yesterday, although the president struck a chord with his observation that it was a reminder of how hard it must have been for his mother to work at a bank in the Don Draper era.

There still were plenty of shows to choose from. I dipped back into “House of Cards,” in preparation for the new season in February, and devoured “Homeland.” Both are dark and twisted tales in which the knife is hidden but will be used.

Why doesn’t the president take a break from the real-world snake pit he’s in with, say, “The Voice?”

Obama hearted “Cards” just a few weeks ago when he took aside Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings at a White House meeting of technology gurus to discuss problems with HealthCare.gov. Obama said he wished he could be “ruthlessly

VIEWS Margaret Carlson efficient” like Kevin Spacey’s Machiavellian character, Frank Underwood, who is “getting a lot of stuff done.” His skill set includes killing, sleeping with a reporter who prints his every word, and conspiring with his wife to do in the politicians who deprived him of his appointment to be secretary of state.

The chilliest pair since the Macbeths, the Underwoods have no counterpart in the real Capitol, where the denizens are more like Henry Higgins (“oozing charm from every pore/he oils his way across the floor”).

Whatever you think of Speaker John Boehner, it isn’t his style to strangle a dog with his bare hands as Underwood so breezily did, but to kick back with a merlot and a pack of Camel Ultra Lights.

Before Obama poured his charm on Hastings, he made awfully nice with the cast of Showtime’s “Homeland.” Its two stars – Claire Danes, who plays the beautiful, bipolar Central Intelligence Agency officer, and Damian Lewis, who plays Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody – have scored invitations to the White House. Lewis, who is British, was seated at the president’s table last year at a state dinner for U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron. Obama famously

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

guards his privacy, but he told Lewis that he keeps current with the show on Saturday afternoons when the first lady takes their daughters to play tennis.

Those kids must play a lot of tennis. I’m behind on “Homeland,” but the leader of the free world isn’t. I dipped into the first two seasons to get in the mood, and then found I wanted to fast forward through the third. The plot is repeating itself, and the hacks (Sen. Andrew Lockhart, the CIA critic) are more interesting than the crazed heroes, including the agency’s acting director Saul Berenson (whose wife has let a lover into his bedroom and a spy into his computer), and Danes’ Carrie Mathison, who is out to clear Brody, the father of her child, of charges that he bombed CIA headquarters.

Still, it’s easy to see why the president got hooked: Is Brody a loyal Marine, happily back with his family after a long captivity, or is he a terrorist, radicalized by a U.S. drone strike that killed a child he had been tutoring?

That plot got at the complexities of Obama’s world as the president grappled with killing Osama bin Laden and trying to figure out who is friend and who is foe in the Middle East, and who might turn from one to the other, in Iran, Libya, Russia and Syria.

I didn’t get to the final episode. But without reading too much into the president’s TV viewing, isn’t sticking with

a show gone bad like keeping those who bungled Obamacare on staff? Move on, turn the channel, already. There’s a new Washington show, CBS’s “Hostages,” in which the president’s doctor is being pushed to kill him during surgery. And no, not because of Obamacare.

Obama told People magazine that the family watches “Parks and Recreation” and “Modern Family” but that his tastes run darker. That’s an understatement. His favorites are among the gloomiest shows on TV, if you leave out “Scandal,” which takes its major plotline from the incident that got Bill Clinton impeached amid the black holes and casual homicides from “24.”

Instead, the president’s list should include HBO’s “Veep,” which captures Washington’s tragi-comic side and whose cast has visited the real vice president. The running joke is Vice President Selina Meyer’s first question upon returning to her office: Has the president called?

He never has. Spot on is Jonah, a supercilious, low-level aide in the West Wing who becomes king of all he surveys upon entering the lowly VP’s suite. Ask most cabinet officials how close that is to their lot in life.

Things could be worse for the president. He might have had to climb the greasy pole of politics with a stop as vice president.

Being No. 2? That’s dark.

McHENRY WOMAN IN CRITICAL CONDITION McHENRY – A McHenry woman is in critical condition after she was struck by a vehicle Friday near the intersection of Route 120 and Borden Street, police said.

According to a news release, a 47-year-old woman who was crossing Route 120 on foot was struck about 5:40 p.m. by a 72-year-old woman, also of McHenry, driving a 2002 Buick west on Route 120.

Neither woman’s name was released.

The 47-year-old was taken via Flight for Life to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Deputy Chief John Birk said.

Westbound lanes on Route 120 from Route 31 to Crystal Lake Road were closed until about 8 p.m. while police investigated.

The accident is under investigation and no citations have yet to be issued, police said.

However, the door did lock after the male inmate already sneaked through the door. He was locked in the women’s side for “about an hour” before another female inmate reported it to jail staff.

WOODSTOCK – The family of a Woodstock man who died this week after being struck by a train is asking for help to lay him to rest.

But his PAGE B2. family lacks the money or insurance to cover costs, which are estimated at about $8,500, said Angela Williams, Theodis’ widow.

Dante Perkins, of D.L. Perkins Sr. Memorial Chapel in Chicago, confirmed that Theodis Williams’ casket, burial, service, flowers, programs, pickup and preparation would total about $8,500.

“They do need some help,” Perkins said.

Finances for the burial haven’t been the only unanswered question in the days since the incident, as investigators have tried to put together exactly what happened.

According to the Metra operator at the helm of the eastbound train, Williams didn’t respond to the continuous sounding of the train’s horn.

The information from the Metra engineer, relayed by the Woodstock Police Department in a news release Friday, is the only eyewitness account police have received of the final moments of Williams’ life, Police Chief Robert Lowen said.

McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski issued a statement saying that preliminarily, the incident “is consistent with an accident,” but added that an investigation is ongoing.

Williams, 339 Short St., Unit 2, Woodstock, died near his house. The engineer told police he applied the emergency brake and sounded the horn continuously to try to get the victim to clear the tracks, according the release.

Steam rises from the Fox River in Buffalo Park on Friday in Algonquin. According to the National Weather Service, Saturday is expected to be cloudy with areas of blowing snow with visibility one quarter mile or less at times in the morning. Snow showers are expected in the morning turning to all snow in the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to creep back into the upper 20s Saturday before subzero weather hits the area again Sunday and Monday.

Cold could close schools Bitter temps forecasted as students return from break

By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com Bitter cold temperatures expected Monday could force schools to cancel classes the day most students are set to return from holiday break.

District officials across McHenry County are monitoring weather forecasts calling for a high of minus 14 degrees Monday, with most planning to wait until late Sunday night to make a decision about canceling school.

“It’s rare but not unprecedented for there to be school closings due to extreme cold,” said Jeff Puma, spokesman at Crystal Lake District 155. “We haven’t made a decision yet and are monitoring the forecasts, but we like to rely more on real data than forecasts because things can change.”

If current forecasts hold, the bitter cold expected will be the longest period of subzero temperatures since February 1996, according to the National Weather Service in Chicago.

The county remains under a winter weather advisory until 9 a.m. Saturday, with snow expected and a high temperature of 28 de-

“We haven’t made a decision yet and are monitoring the forecasts, but we like to rely more on real data than forecasts because things can change.”

Jeff Puma, spokesman at Crystal Lake District 155 grees. There is a chance of snow again Sunday, when temperatures are expected to drop to a high of 5 degrees before high winds drop temps well below zero Monday into Tuesday.

The freezing temperatures come only a few days after more than 11 inches of snow was dropped on areas of the county, which forced county road crews to work around the clock New Year’s Eve through Thursday plowing snow and salting roadways.

“We are looking at the weather carefully and considering our options,” McHenry County College spokeswoman Christina Haggerty said. “The way we determine weather-related closures is often based on a series of factors.”

Those factors include discussing conditions with area transportation officials as well as the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and

school districts, and consulting with the Crystal Lakebased community college’s resident meteorologist, Paul Hamill, to view weather systems, models and charts.

With all closures, MCC then notifies its students, employees and the community through the use of an alert system, website and social media, to name a few.

Officials from Districts 200, 300, 158 and 15 said they would wait until late Sunday or early Monday morning to decide whether to cancel classes. Most county schools have yet to cancel a day of school this year, and most have built-in snow days that allow the end of the school year to not be affected.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security advises residents to limit outdoor exposure, dress in layers, check in on others who may need additional assistance, and bring pets indoors during subzero temperatures.

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a security snafu at the jail that allowed a male inmate to slide past security officers into the women’s unit to have sex with his girlfriend – also an inmate.

The male inmate sneaked through an unlocked access door between the two units.

“It was a mistake. You learn from it, you create policies to keep it from happening again.”

Keith Nygren McHenry County sheriff ter making evening rounds, a correctional officer walked through the door, but failed to ensure that it was locked, the sheriff’s office said. A

guard tasked with watching a monitor also didn’t see the male inmate sneak over for the “rendezvous.”

Neither inmate was identified by the sheriff’s office, citing the ongoing investigation.

The male has been in segregated custody since, and the correctional officers are facing possible disciplinary measures as a result. No one has been criminally charged.

The door should not have been used but for emergen-

Personalities shape style ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP to get $300K grant of committee meetings Kane court“Theservices research has shown the people who go back

By BRENDA SCHORY

• MEETING Continued from page B1 comment, are mandated by the Illinois Open Meetings Act. The flow of committee meetings varies significantly because they depend greatly on the personality and technique of the individual chairpeople, and the interactions among the various committee members’ personalities.

Some committees run matter-of-fact meetings that flow quickly, while others stretch into several hours regardless of the amount of agenda items. Some committee chairpeople only allow audience members to speak during the public comment portion, while others will recognize them during relevant discussions.

Hill said last month that no one incident or practice prompted the discussion, but rather she has heard ongoing concerns over how differences in how various committees handle standard practices.

Every committee contains seven County Board members, with at least one from each of its six districts, except for the Liquor and License Committee, which has only five members. A change to County Board rules adopted several months ago will bring that committee up to seven members after the November 2014 election.

Committee assignments and the chairpeople are selected by the County Board chairman and a special committee following each November election. Their selections must be ratified by the full County Board.

Sheriff ’s office will begin to modify security procedures • SECURITY Continued from page B1 The sheriff’s office is modifying procedures “to make it impossible to ever happen again,” Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said.

For starters, the access door no longer will be used.

All correctional officers were required to attend mandatory security training.

“It was a mistake,” Nygren said. “You learn from it, you create policies to keep it from happening again.”

bschory@shawmedia.com

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Kane County Court Services will receive a $300,000 state grant to help nonviolent offenders complete probation and not go to prison.

Kane is one of 18 grant recipients in 31 counties to receive nearly $7 million through Adult Redeploy Illinois, administered through the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority.

Kane County Court Services Director Lisa Aust said the grant will cover the cost of hiring three more probation officers who specialize in high-risk defendants – those who are more likely to go to prison because they cannot complete the terms of their probation.

“They are missing their appointments because maybe they don’t have transportation,” Aust said.

“Maybe they do not have employment, so they are not paying their fines.”

The temporary probation officers are hired only for the

to work are less likely to find themselves back in the system for reoffending. This grant will help court services work with people who are on probation.”

Joe McMahon, Kane County State’s Attorney length of the grant, which ends June 30, Aust said, adding they hope to apply for another grant by then.

Program manager Deanna Cada, who wrote the successful grant, said the program is for adults 18 and older. The probation department has identified about 100 people in the county who would benefit from this type of intensive service.

“These are not people committing serious crimes, they are not violent offenders,” Cada said. “Somehow, they have had this stumble, this barrier to being successful, and then they spiral downward. ... This is to have those barriers removed, so they can be successful [and] stop the downward spiral.”

Aust said keeping people out of prison benefits them

and their communities.

“They’re employed, paying taxes, taking care of their kids, their families, paying rent, supporting the local economy,” Aust said. “And it’s not costing us by having to house them in prison.”

Cada said one of the things the Department of Corrections looks at in considering grant applications is the annual cost of incarceration versus how much it costs to help one person.

“It’s still more reasonable than sending somebody to the Department of Corrections,” Cada said. “We’re not keeping a hardened criminal in the community. We’re keeping people in the community who are contributing to it.”

Tom Shaer, a spokesman for the Department of Cor-

Friday evening, the Woodstock Fire Rescue District said.

Captain Karen Bush said the driver of the truck, whose name was not disclosed,

crashed about 6:30 p.m. into the Eastwood Drive location, which was closed for the evening.

The truck was empty, Bush

rections, said the program already has demonstrated its impact on the criminal justice system.

“We’re still tabulating 2013, but for part of 2011 and in 2012, the 10 sites in full implementation diverted 838 nonviolent offenders – which is the equivalent of two cell blocks of a prison,” Shaer said. “It’s an average cost of $21,500 to incarcerate an individual for a year. Of those enrolled since it began, 91 percent avoided prison altogether and did not commit another offense.”

State officials have estimated the savings at more than $17 million in incarceration costs.

Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said the county will see the benefit from the grant.

“The research has shown the people who go back to work are less likely to find themselves back in the system for reoffending,” McMahon said. “This grant will help court services work with people who are on probation. ... We’ll all see a benefit. This is great work.”

Family opened donations-only bank account • SEEKING HELP Continued from page B1 Lowen said. “He just continued to be oblivious to it.”

The railroad’s crossing gates and signals also were working correctly, police have said.

CPR initially was performed on the victim until the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District arrived and pronounced him deceased, the release said.

While she awaits further word from authorities, Angela Williams has been searching for ways to fund her husband’s burial, she said. The family has opened a donations-only Chase bank account under the name of Theo’s sister, Shanae Williams. People also can donate directly through the funeral home.

“He wasn’t a perfect person, nobody is. He’s had his past, he’s done his things. He was changing himself and that was the process he was in.”

Angela Williams Wife of Theodis R. Williams Angela Williams remembered her husband of two years – who she’d known for about 10 years – as a loving and caring person. The two didn’t have children together, but each had their own from previous relationships.

“He did everything possible to help somebody in a situation before he made sure he was OK,” she said.

But she also acknowledged her husband had gone through his struggles.

Williams was twice convicted of felonies. In April 2009, he was convicted of a Class 2 felony drug charge, for which he was sentenced to 39 months in prison. The same year, he received conditional discharge on a Class 4 felony for obstructing justice.

At the time of his death, Williams was on a one-year conditional discharge stemming from a September domestic battery incident. The sentence required that Williams complete courses in parenting, driving under the influence, victim impact and anger counseling, according to public records.

“He wasn’t a perfect person, nobody is,” Angela Williams said. “He’s had his past, he’s done his things. He was changing himself and that

Shanae Williams of Chicago said she had been financially helping her brother – whom friends and family called “Mane Mane” – while he tried to find work.

“I miss him a lot,” she said.

“I just wish I could just hold him again, get another hug.”

ON SCREEN

“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” STARRING: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott

PLOT: An anonymous schlub (Ben Stiller) who hides behind daydream adventures inds true excitement when he travels the world in search of a photographer.

RATED: PG for some crude comments, language and action violence TIME: 1 hour, 59 minutes VERDICT: There’s a family-friendly fairytale sense to “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” This is, after all, a movie about dreaming big and realizing life’s magic. At irst these are only daydreams used to escape a humdrum life. But then the adventure enters the real world and hope is kindled. Based on a very short story written by James Thurber in 1939 that was turned into a fanciful ilm starring Danny Kaye in 1947, this version stars and was directed

by Ben Stiller, our modern-day uberschlub. Here he’s Walter, working with photo negatives in the bowels of a modern Life magazine. His life is so dull that he distracts himself with lights of fantasy where he performs feats of daring-do. Complications include his unexpressed affection for a co-worker (Kristen Wiig) and the fact that Life magazine has recently been bought and a new hotshot exec (Adam Scott) seems set to ire most of the staff as things go digital. Somehow the negative for the perfect cover photo for Life’s inal print edition is missing. To track it down Walter has to ind a legendary photographer (Sean Penn in an extended cameo). First Walter sets off for Greenland, then Iceland, then Afghanistan, and his imaginary adventures are replaced by real ones. It turns out there is excitement to be had in life; Walter just has to grab it. This is a notably more upbeat attitude than the original short story had and Stiller sells it well.

The original daydreams are broad fantasies with limited impact; as the adventures grow real they start to matter. Walter Mitty no longer has to hide behind daydreams. In the world he discovers, even schlubs can live large. – The Associated Press

“The Wolf of Wall Street” STARRING: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey PLOT: Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.

RATED: R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and profanity throughout, and some violence.

TIME: 2 hours, 59 minutes VERDICT: In a palatial mansion on Long Island, a lone, well-dressed

millionaire played in an all-out performance by Leonardo DiCaprio, presides virtually unseen over a bacchanal of benumbed excess, the avatar of an age of heedless self-indulgence and greed. Ah, so the 3-D version of “The Great Gatsby” is being re-released? Not quite. In “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Martin Scorsese’s big, bravura, maddeningly uneven indictment of the extreme inancial depredations that characterized the 1990s, DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, a real-life swindler and penny-stock con man who made more than $100 million off of unwitting investors. The Queens-born Belfort may embody the same ambition and shadowy ruthlessness as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s self-made anti-hero, but he has none of his subtlety or allegorical heft.

There’s no enigmatic green light goading Belfort on in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” other than the unseen internal one telling him to go, go, go and get more, more, more. More, in this case, doesn’t just mean money – although in one of Belfort’s several speeches to his employees, delivered in a style suggesting Henry V combined with a touch of Catskills tummler – he suggests that whatever problems they may have, they should solve them by getting rich. As “The Wolf of Wall Street” makes clear from its irst aggressive, whipsawing moments, Belfort is the ultimate empty vessel, a man who can never get enough of anything, whether it’s sex or drugs or validation from the audience he addresses by way of near-constant narration, occasionally breaking the fourth wall for a contemptuous tutorial in Darwinian inance. On one hand, the ilmmakers suggest that Belfort’s most dehumanizing behavior is what undergirds every Wall Street irm, that behind those stentorian ads and Forbes proiles are just a bunch of tacky, boiler-room bros with their snouts in the trough. But in the inal analysis, they pull their punches on Belfort – who actually appears in the inal scene of the movie, wielding, what else, a microphone (reportedly, he has yet to pay up fully on the $110 million he owes in restitution to his victims). In “Goodfellas,” which still reigns supreme as Martin Scorsese’s inest plunge into the low life, the ilm ends on that teasingly ambiguous shot of Ray Liotta’s Mona Lisa smile. In “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Scorsese turns his gaze on the audience itself, suggesting that it’s our own avarice – or at least fatal naivete – that creates monsters like Belfort. OK, but . . . really? Belfort and his more well-heeled but equally crooked colleagues at white-shoe irms cooked up what may be the largest transfer of wealth in human history. And it’s schmoes like us that “The Wolf of Wall Street” holds accountable? That laughing sound you hear just out of eye-shot may well be Belfort, having the last howl.

Man is turned off by gal pal’s resemblance to mom Dear Abby: I met a guy I think is perfect for me on a dating website. We have gone on several dates, and they have been great. He respects my morals and even has some of his own, which isn’t easy to find.

The problem: He says I am exactly what he has been looking for except for one thing. I look like his mother.

He says he really likes me and would like to keep dating to see if he can get past this issue. I like him very much.

Is there something I can do, short of plastic surgery? – Dead Ringer In Arizona Dear Dead Ringer: Before changing anything, you need to explore more closely what

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips he’s saying. Ask to meet his mother, then judge for yourself how strong the resemblance is. It’s possible the similarity is less physical and more about your personality or mannerisms.

You should not alter your image to please anyone but yourself. Keep in mind many men DO marry women who resemble their mothers in some way – whether it’s conscious or not – and the marriages are often successful.

Dear Abby: My parents

divorced many years ago, and ever since, I have lived with my mother and visit Dad on his days off from work. Mom cheated on Dad, and the man she cheated with lives with us.

I don’t have a good relationship with her boyfriend.

We don’t have much in common, and when he drinks, he gets angry for no reason and takes it out on me or Mom, and it puts the whole household in an awkward position, sometimes lasting for days.

When he’s sober, he can be fun to be around.

I have talked with my mom about this. She promises she’ll talk to him and things are going to change,

Variety of foods provide protein Dear Dr. K: My teenage daughter has become a vegetarian. How can I make sure she gets enough protein?

Dear Reader: You have less to worry about than you might think. When it comes to getting protein in your diet, there are many meat-free options.

Our bodies need protein (made of amino acids) for the health of every cell, and particularly to build strong muscles, bones and skin.

Some of these amino acids are called “essential.” Our bodies cannot make essential amino acids, so we must get them from foods.

Meats have plenty of essential amino acids, but they also contain some unhealthy components, such as saturated (“bad”) fat. Vegetables, grains and nuts are lower in essential amino acids than meat-based proteins. But combining plantbased proteins will ensure your daughter gets enough amino acids. If your daughter eats a variety of plant-based foods, she’ll be fine.

There are many ways to get protein from plants. Whole grains are a good source, and they’re complex carbohy-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff drates, as well. Try quinoa, barley, bulgur wheat, amaranth, millet, and brown and wild rice.

Nuts, nut butters and seeds are another protein source, and they are rich in healthy, unsaturated (“good”) fat.

There are many to choose from: almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts; almond butter and cashew butter. Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds also are good options.

But the richest source of plant-based protein is the legume family: lentils, split peas, black-eyed peas. And beans: black, kidney, garbanzo, lima, navy, pinto, white and kidney. The soybean, another legume, is the source of tofu and tempeh, which are rich in protein. (Try to limit your daughter to two to four servings of soy a week.)

As you start out, you’ll need to get creative to adopt a more vegetarian-friendly

mindset. Here are some suggestions from Kathy McManus, director of the Department of Nutrition for Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital: • Add beans and whole grains to soups.

• Throw beans and nuts in salads, pasta dishes and sauces.

• Substitute tofu for meat in stir-fries.

• Snack on whole-grain crackers with bean salsa or hummus.

I had dinner several weeks ago with an old friend who had been a meat eater all his life. In fact, I called him a world-class carnivore. He had been on a meat-free diet for the past three months and told me he never felt better.

His energy was better and his blood pressure was lower.

Before you know it, turning to plant-based proteins will become second nature.

Your daughter – and perhaps the rest of your family – will thank you for it.

but they never do. She doesn’t want to break up with him because she can’t afford to pay the mortgage on her own.

I have thought about moving in with my dad, but I don’t want to upset her. What do I do? – Wants To Move In With

Dad Dear Wants: Your mother hasn’t asserted herself with her boyfriend because she’s financially dependent on him.

She’s afraid if she insists he do something about his drinking, he will leave her.

The affair and the boyfriend were her choice, not yours. If you want to move in with your father to avoid being around a verbally abusive drunk – and your

father is willing – that’s what you should do. You should not have to tolerate abuse in order not to “upset” your mother. It’s OK to take care of yourself.

Dear Abby: I’m a 32-yearold woman. My boyfriend of 11 years passed away almost three years ago. I loved him very much and miss him every day. Some well-meaning friends and family members have suggested a dating site.

Abby, when does someone know if it’s time to move on?

I haven’t been on a date in 13 years. I’m scared of putting myself out there again and getting hurt. Any advice would be great. – Scared In

Dear Scared: If the only reason you haven’t reached out before is fear of rejection, then it’s time to move on.

Ask your friends and family to help you write a profile, and then consider what happens next as an “adventure.”

While there are no guarantees you’ll immediately find a relationship like the one you had, you might find someone who is compatible.

And if you don’t, you could still make some friends.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

ANALYSIS: BEARS

Youth will dictate defensive change

By ADAM L. JAHNS Chicago Sun-Times As fascinating as a move to a 3-4 defense might be after years of being in Lovie Smith’s Tampa-2 defense, there were no promises made by the Bears’ brain trust – general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman – that it would happen.

What was promised is that the Bears’ defense will experience an influx of youth, whether it’s expanded roles for current second- or H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com third-year players or bolsterGreen Bay’s Jordy Nelson spins out of the grasp of Tim Jennings (left) ing their defensive ranks and Julius Peppers for a 34-yard gain in the fourth quarter Sunday at through the draft.

Soldier Field.

The youth, ultimately,

JOHNSBURG 52, WOODSTOCK 48

Johnsburg knocks off Woodstock

More inside Sunday’s NFC Wild Card game against San Francisco and Green Bay is already shaping up to be Ice Bowl II. Page C5 will decide whether a schematic change is best.

“I think if we draft heavily towards defense, we’re going to have a younger defensive team, given that we brought in two young linebackers and defensive end this year,” Emery said.

“Given that we picked up [defensive end] David Bass as an extra draft choice for

want of a better word. A lot of the depth players that we have right now are young, so given that, with the draft, depending on who we sign as a [unrestricted free agent], we’re not going to necessarily go after an older player.

We may. [Defensive tackle] Jeremiah Ratliff played well for us and we certainly want to entertain that discussion with him. So there will be a blend, but our overall age as a defense will be younger.”

This is where it gets intriguing.

Bass said this season that the Oakland Raiders originally drafted him to be a 3-4 outside linebacker. Ratliff

was a Pro Bowl nose tackle in the Dallas Cowboys’ 3-4 defense.

The two young linebackers? Jon Bostic played in a hybrid defense at Florida that he compared to what the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots run.

Khaseem Greene played linebacker in a system at Rutgers that mimicked some 3-4 alignments.

Even more compelling is that Trestman and Emery indicated that defensive end Shea McClellin could be making a switch to linebacker.

Tough climb ahead

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Trace Chase and her Johnsburg girls basketball teammates tried to not get frustrated when closerange shots kept popping out of the basket Friday against Woodstock.

The Skyhawks’ failure to capitalize on their open looks contributed to a deficit that grew to 11 points less than two minutes into the third quarter.

But Johnsburg didn’t give up, and aided by a diamond press forcing the Blue Streaks to make some bad decisions, the Skyhawks put themselves in position to win.

Chase knocked down two free throws with 28 seconds left in the game to put Johnsburg ahead by one point, and the Skyhawks held on for a 52-48 Fox Valley Conference Fox Division win against Woodstock.

“We really worked together as a team,” Chase said. “We pushed the ball down the floor because that’s where we were scoring most and keeping our head up when passing. ... It shows that we have a lot of pride in what we do.”

Four of Chase’s team-high 18 points came at the free-throw line in the final 28 seconds. Johnsburg’s performance at the free-throw line kept them in the game, shooting 75 percent (15 of 20). Skyhawks coach Brad Frey described Chase’s performance as a “pleasant surprise,” but it was exactly what Johnsburg needed as Woodstock featured 6-foot forward Cody Brand, who finished with a game-high 21 points.

“I wish I could figure out how to get to play the first three quarters like they do the last half of the fourth quarter,” Frey said. “Whether they’re up by a million or down by a million, they always turn it on in the last half of the fourth quarter.”

Cavanagh Murphy Crystal Lake Central guard

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The orange and white painted walls leading to the Crystal Lake Central boys basketball locker room is covered with inspirational quotes that convey messages ranging from philosphers to athletes about having heart and the will to succeed.

Although the messages are out in the open for all to see, Tigers coach Rich Czeslawski is having a hard time finding some of those things on the court this season, specifically passion.

“When you lack a passion for something, it makes it uncomfortable for everybody and that seems to be the case right now,” Czeslawski said.

“A lack of heart is a tough thing to overcome,” he said. “It’s going to take fight and it’s going to take the team

deciding that we don’t want to take this anymore.”

Czeslawski and the players were visibly disappointed after a 71-50 loss to Fox Valley Conference Fox Division opponent Grayslake North on Friday night.

The Tigers (0-15 overall, 0-2 FVC Fox) fell behind near the end of the first quarter and couldn’t climb back despite a strong shooting night from guard Cavanagh Murphy.

The junior scored all of his team’s seven first-quarter points and hit two 3-pointers in the second before teammate Jon Ryberg connected on a layup with 3:42 remaining in the quarter to spread the scoring.

While the insufficient offense was concerning, Czeslawski liked what he saw from Murphy, who finished with a team-high 19 points.

The coach spoke to him Thursday about being more of a leader and go-

to-guy on the floor.

Despite the loss, the Tigers had some bright spots including holding the Knights (2-7, 1-1) without a basket until the 3:20 mark in the first quarter, but there weren’t enough solid stretches to build from as the Knights went on runs of 6 points and 10 points in the first half.

“There have been flashes all season,” Czeslawski said, “but the bad flashes tend to outweigh the good and until that flips this is going to be the outcome we have.”

Knights guard Bobby Krebs led all scorers with 22 points including six 3-pointers, four of which came in the second half.

Dom DiProva added 13 points while Aidan Einloth scored 12 as the two took advantage of open lanes on basket cuts.

PRAIRIE RIDGE VOLLEYBALL

Brauneis to play pro volleyball in Puerto Rico

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com The timing of being presented with a new opportunity wasn’t exactly what Taylor Brauneis had in mind.

A day after the former Prairie Ridge volleyball standout’s University of Florida playing career ended in the NCAA Tournament, Brauneis was approached about playing professionally in Puerto Rico.

For years, Brauneis had considered playing at the next level, but never expected everything to fall into place so quickly.

But she’s certainly not passing up the chance.

Brauneis recently signed

a contract to play the upcoming four-month season for Lancheras de Catano. She will leave Saturday for San Juan to begin her pro career and will practice for the first time with her new teammates Saturday night. As of now, Brauneis is the only American on her team’s roster, giving her the chance to learn what she’s expecting to be a different style of play than she experienced in college.

“I think it’s a really good opportunity for me,” Brauneis said Friday. “I’m just really excited about it.”

Brauneis’ college career ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament when the Gators lost to instate rival Florida State. She

She finished her senior season with 1,156 assists for the Gators and said she

wasn’t yet over the disappointment of the Florida State loss when the chance to take another step forward in Puerto Rico came up.

Brauneis is studying event management at Florida and has one semester remaining and will consider her options when she returns to the United States in May. “It’s a four-month season.

It’s not like going to Europe for a year,” Brauneis said.

“To me, this just seemed like a chance to see if I like [professional volleyball].

“From there, whatever opportunities I can get from playing in Puerto Rico, we’ll see. But right now, I’m just enjoying just playing and see how long I can play for.”

Marian Central boys beat Montini

R-B shows depth in beating N. Boone

NORTHWEST HERALD

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

The Marian Central boys basketball team defeated Montini, 78-67, in the Suburban Christian Conference matchup.

The Hurricanes (7-8, 2-1 SCC) led by 10 at the half and maintained that lead to claim the victory. Nick Waytula led the team with 18 points and Ben Schnepf added 17 points. Schnepf converted four 3-pointers and was 5-5 from the line.

Derreck Caldez scored 10 points and Matthew Ricchiuto added with eight.

RICHMOND – To borrow a major-league baseball term, Richmond-Burton is blessed with a rich farm system.

Several of the Rockets’ top prospects already are with the big club, and when recent injuries struck, R-B just reached down and plucked another from the sophomore team, 6-foot-5 left-hander Reggie Banks.

Banks is making his mark with the Rockets, as he did in the first half of Friday’s 87-64 victory over North Boone in their Big Northern Conference East Division boys basketball game at Lou Ramirez Gymnasium.

Banks had six points, four rebounds and two blocked shots in helping R-B (10-3 overall, 2-0 BNC East) roll up a big second-quarter advantage on its way to the victory. On Friday, Banks was helping make up for the loss of 6-8 freshman Joey St. Pierre, who was out with a calf injury, and senior forward Grant Miller, who still is recovering from an ankle sprain.

“It was pretty easy to get acclimated because we ran the same defense [on the sophomore team],” Banks said. “The coaches were able to get me going with understanding the offensive sets. It really gave me confidence to blend in. It’s been a good ride so far.”

R-B coach Brandon Creason promoted Banks before the Marengo E.C. Nichols Tournament at Christmas, making Friday’s game his sixth with the varsity.

“I looked at our sophomore coach [Rich Petska] and said, ‘Sorry. Make do, you’re not getting him back,’ ” Creason said with a smile. “When we add Joe [St. Pierre] with him, that’s a good 1-2. He’s having to play the block here, but with Joe we can move Reggie out on the floor. He can move well and pass and hit

Johnsburg senior forward Maycee Ward fights for a rebound with Woodstock freshman forward Gabriella Scolio on Friday in Johnsburg.

Chase hits free throws to ice win for Skyhawks • HOOPS Continued from page C1 Johnsburg (6-10, 2-2, FVC Fox) took its first lead since early in the first quarter on Kayla Toussaint’s 3-pointer with 3:57 remaining in the fourth to go up 43-42. Woodstock (5-8, 1-1) answered on its next possession and went back ahead by one on Brand’s two free throws.

That sequence was part of a stretch with six lead changes in the final five minutes of the game.

Sophomore forward Jazza Johns (14 points) scored four points in a one-minute stretch to again give the Skyhawks the lead, 47-44. But continuing the back-and-forth play, Woodstock reclaimed the lead on two baskets from

Brand for a 48-47 advantage with 49 seconds remaining.

However, once Chase went to the free-throw line with 28 seconds left, calmly making both attempts, Johnsburg didn’t relinquish the lead.

“I think they did a good job and didn’t get frustrated,” Frey said of his team missing shots early. “They played intelligently.”

The Skyhawks struggled to stop Brand, particularly in the third quarter when she scored nine points. Foul trouble limited her playing time, however, and Johnsburg did its best to exploit that in the second half.

“I thought we should have made better decisions offensively [in the second half],” Woodstock coach Marty Hammond said. “Live and learn, I guess.”

R-B, which won the Marengo Tournament, won its sixth consecutive game Friday by breaking open a close game in the second quarter. Guard Brian Wells hit Mike Kaska for an open 3-pointer to start the quarter, then Wells hit two free throws and a driving layup.

The Rockets had a 24-8 in that quarter.

“All five guys on the court wanted to help their teammates and were giving the extra pass,” Wells said.

“That was making the other guy open for a nice look and we were hitting shots. Once we saw people hit shots, it made other people feel good and it just kind of all came into flow.”

Kaska led the Rockets with 21 points and hit five 3s. Sam Kaufman added 19 points, while Creason credited senior forward Danny Rygiel for other reasons.

“We give him a hard time about [not] scoring [a lot] but Danny is the glue guy,” Creason said. “He gets tipped passes, rebounds and he’s averaging three charges a game. He got two or three tonight and really helped change the momentum with taking charges in that quarter.”

North Boone (3-6, 1-2) was led by Kyle Hoffman with 14 points and Griffin Schuster with 12. The Vikings had 19 turnovers at halftime and finished with 34, although they trailed only 20-19 after the first quarter.

“We failed to rebound, and if you don’t rebound, you can’t control tempo,” North Boone coach Richard Williams said. “Richmond-Burton got some boards and we were under pressure because of it.”

“I looked at our sophomore coach [Rich Petska] and said, ‘Sorry. Make do, you’re not getting him back.’ When we add Joe [St. Pierre] with him, that’s a good 1-2.”

“We need to get our energy up in the game,” Murphy said. “It’s been really flat out there and it’s quiet in the gym. It’s not fun playing like that.”

Murphy said he has been on teams in the past that didn’t win many games but the effort was always there.

This is new territory for him but feels that with a

proper approach in practice and entering games in the right state of mind, the Tigers can start playing better basketball during the crucial conference schedule.

“Hopefully, we don’t get used to [losing],” Murphy said. “The big thing is energy and it will get us all going. We have to bring it extra and start bringing that energy from practice into these games and if we want it I think it can transfer.”

Gil (24-0) won the 138-pound championship Dec. 28 at the Al Dvorak Memorial Invitational at Harlem in Machesney Park. In the title match, Gil decisioned Dakota’s J.J.Wolfe, 3-1.

Gil is ranked No. 2 in Class 3A by illinoismatmen.com and Wolfe is the No. 1-ranked wrestler in 1A. In the semifinals, Gil beat Montini’s Vince Turk, ranked No. 1 in 2A, 9-3. In the quarterfinals, Gil major decisioned Lockport’s Dominick Naso, an honorable mention in 3A, 13-2.

Noteworthy Johnson brother symmetry: Crystal Lake Central’s Andrew Marsden lost to Lockport’s Tyler Johnson in the Dvorak 195 semifinals. Johnson went on to win the title and Marsden took third.

Both are ranked No. 1, Marsden in 2A and Johnson in 3A. Flash back to 2011, when the Tigers’ Gage Harrah lost to Brad Johnson, Tyler’s brother, in the Dvorak 195 finals. Both Harrah and Brad Johnson were also the top-ranked wrestlers in their class and would go on to win state titles, Johnson in 3A and Harrah in 2A. Dvorak vs. state: If history has any bearing, the Tigers’ Mike Zelasco could be vying for a state championship in February.

Zelasco placed seventh at the 2012 Dvorak and went on to take fifth at state. This year Zelasco placed third at the Dvorak.

Overall at the 2012 Dvorak tournament, of the 97 topeight Illinois place winners, 47 would go on to place in the top six at state, including 11 state champions.

Of the 10 Illinois Dvorak champions in 2012, just three went on to win a state title. However, if you remove the out of state winners and add in the second place Illinois winners in those weight classes, that number improves to five state champions.

Wisconsin champion: Harvard’s Adam Freimund (28-0) won the 285-pound championship Dec. 28 at the Mid-States Classic at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater campus.

Also, placing at Mid-States were Justin Wilcox, who was second at 106, Sergio Esquivel, fourth at 113, Matt Wheeler, fifth at 160 and Zach Martin, sixth at 195.

All Players United banner to fly over Rose Bowl

Injuries start to clear up

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – The National College Players Association will fly a banner over the Rose Bowl before the BCS championship game is played with the message: “All Players United for Concussion Reform. Wake Up NCAA!” Earlier this season players around the country, including at Georgia, Georgia Tech and Northwestern, started the “All Players United” campaign by playing games with APU written in black marker on wrist tape and other gear.

Ramogi Huma, executive director of the NCPA, says the group wants the NCAA to earmark some of the additional $300 million in revenue the new College Football Playoff will generate for schools to deal with treating and preventing concussions.

By JOE COWLEY Chicago Sun-Times Carlos Boozer was sidelined with a sore right knee Friday and didn’t practice.

His teammate’s reactions to that news? They didn’t flinch.

Welcome to Bulls basketball 2013-14, where an empty training room means there must have been a bomb scare.

“Everyone is back now, so we have to get going,” reserve big man Taj Gibson said. “It’s that time of year. As a matter of fact, we’re past due.”

Injuries have been a big reason why. Obviously Derrick Rose is lost for the season Up next with right knee surgery, but this Atlanta vs. was the first week Bulls, 7 p.m. in a while that evSaturday, eryone else was WGN, upright, healthy and playing. And AM-100 while the news on Boozer was a bit of a surprise, it wasn’t believed to be anything major, coach Tom Thibodeau said.

What is major these days is starting to put consistent wins together for a group that has underachieved since Opening Night in Miami, healthy or not.

“You just hit on it – everyone is back now,” Thibodeau said after Friday’s practice. “So that’s the important thing, to keep putting the work in that’s necessary to win. And I think we’re moving in the right direction. I think we’ve improved in a lot of areas. We know we have a long way to go and there are a number of things we have to do better. We have to continue to take it step by step.”

This week, however, there was some normalcy. The Bulls are living life without Rose, but have all the other pieces back now that Luol Deng’s Achilles soreness is behind him.

That’s why Bulls players have been talking about their place in the standings at 13-18, as well as being able to push to a playoff spot.

“Yeah, I think the fact we’ve been through it,’’ Thibodeau said of his current core remaining confident they can make a playoff run. “Now we didn’t have all the injuries early on like we did this year, so that’s different. But I think there’s a belief that now with everyone back we can be successful. But we have to put the work into it. You can’t skip the work part of it.”

The Blackhawks’ Patrick Sharp celebrates his hat trick with Duncan Keith during the third period Friday against the New Jersey Devils in Newark, N.J. The Blackhawks won, 5-3.

BLACKHAWKS 5, NEW JERSEY 3

Sharp posts another hat trick

By MARK LAZERUS Chicago Sun-Times NEWARK, N.J. – Patrick Sharp slammed his stick in frustration as he trudged off to the bench after his shot from the point careened off the far post on a power play early in the first period Friday night at the Prudential Center. A short while later, Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur stuffed Sharp on the doorstep.

“Maybe earlier in my career, I would have been frustrated hitting the post or getting stopped by a big save,” Sharp said. “But I’ve played long enough and I think I’ve scored enough to realize that you just keep playing your game, and you’re going to get chances.”

Indeed, these days for Sharp, it always seems to be just a matter of time.

Sharp posted his second hat trick in five games as the Blackhawks broke open a close game in the third period for a 5-3 victory over the Devils, extending the team’s point streak to nine games.

The Hawks scored three

times in a four-minute span early in the third, the highlight being Sharp’s rising wrist shot from a ludicrous angle along the goal line.

Duncan Keith, who was plus-4 on the night along with Sharp and Jonathan Toews, had three third-period assists to spark the win.

“What a period, what a game,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “That line was spectacular toPatrick Sharp night. They were a threat and dangerous all night, with nice rush goals, and that spectacular shot from an impossible angle. They did it all.”

Sharp now has nine goals in his past six games, and passed Patrick Kane for the team lead with 25 on the season. The downside of his scoring binge is that he keeps getting asked about his prospects for Team Canada, which will announce its Olympic roster Tuesday. While Sharp very much wants to make the team, it’s hardly his sole mo-

Next for the Hawks San Jose at Blackhawks, 7 p.m., WGN, NBCSN, AM-720 tivation.

Sharp is finally getting a chance to play on a top line with major minutes. And he doesn’t want to let Quenneville take him off of it. Sharp had one goal in the Hawks’ first 11 games while skating on the second line. Since moving up to the top line with Toews and Marian Hossa on Oct, 28 in Minnesota, he has 24 goals in 33 games.

“I’m getting a bigger opportunity from Joel and the coaching staff this year,” Sharp said. “And I want to make sure I show them that I’m worth it.”

Quenneville’s a believer.

Sharp’s teammates are, too.

It’s hard to imagine Steve Yzerman and Team Canada can think otherwise at this point.

“I haven’t seen too many guys score like he is right

now,” Keith said. “If any.”

The game was tied 1-1 through two periods on goals

by Sharp and Andy Greene.

Then, after five somewhat sluggish periods on their trip to the New York suburbs, the Hawks found another gear in the third period. First, Kane’s centering pass ticked off Brandon Saad’s skate, then Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky’s skate 90 seconds into the third.

Barely a minute later, Brent Seabrook (two assists) fed Sharp in the corner, where he unleashed his extremely sharp-angle shot that beat Brodeur. Less than three minutes after that, Hossa snapped a seven-game goal drought with a wrist shot through traffic.

Zidlicky made things interesting by scoring twice and drawing the Devils to within 4-3, but Sharp sealed it with his third goal with 1:28 left.

With the win, the Hawks improved to 8-0-3 in the second game of back-to-back sets this season, and Sharp inched ever closer to that trip to Sochi.

AP source – Strong expected to accept Texas offer: At Austin, Texas, Texas will offer its

coaching job to Louisville’s Charlie Strong and he is expected to accept, a person familiar with the search told The Associated Press on Friday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the process was being kept confidential and had not been completed.

Texas has been looking to replace Mack Brown, who stepped down in December after 16 seasons with the Longhorns.

Strong is in his fourth year at Louisville and coming off his second straight double-digit victory season.

He took over a program coming off three straight non-winning seasons and has gone 37-15.

The 53-year-old Strong was a longtime defensive coordinator in the Southeastern Conference before getting a chance to be head coach. He took Louisville to the BCS last season and finished 12-1 this year with start quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

New Texas athletic director Steve Patterson, hired in November to replace longtime AD DeLoss Dodds, interviewed Strong this week.

Baylor coach Art Briles said Friday he has no desire to pursue another job and plans to lead the defending Big 12 champion Bears into their new stadium next fall.

With his name linked to the opening at Texas, and speculation increasing after the Bears’ most successful season ever, Briles sent a tweet on his account that read “Contrary to reports and rumors I am a Baylor Bear – 2013 Big 12 Champs.”

Vikings retain counsel to look into Kluwe charges MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Vikings have retained a former chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court and a former federal trial attorney to conduct an investigation into Chris Kluwe’s allegations that he was released from the team due to his support of gay marriage.

The team made the announcement on Friday, one day after Kluwe penned a scathing article alleging that special teams coordinator Mike Priefer made anti-gay comments during team meetings. Priefer has denied Kluwe’s allegations.

Former Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court Eric Magnuson and former Justice Department attorney Chris Madel will lead the investigation.

Vikings President Mark Wilf said “it is extremely important for the Vikings organization to react immediately and comprehensively with an independent review of these allegations.”

NFC WILD CARD: SAN FRANCISCO AT GREEN BAY, 3:40 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX

NFL

Game shaping up to be Ice Bowl II Manning named

unanimous All-Pro

By DINESH RAMDE and GENARO C. ARMAS

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers’ playoff game Sunday against San Francisco could be one of the coldest in NFL history, rivaling the subzero temperatures of the 1967 Ice Bowl, so fans are taking plenty of precautions.

Temperatures at Lambeau Field are expected to be a frigid minus 2 degrees when the Packers and 49ers kick off at 3:40 p.m. Central time.

By the fourth quarter it’ll be a bone-chilling minus 7, with wind chills approaching minus 30, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures at the socalled Ice Bowl, the 1967 championship game in which the Packers beat Dallas to advance to Super Bowl II, got as cold as minus 13 degrees with a wind chill of minus 46.

At temperatures like the ones expected Sunday, exposed skin can get frostbitten in minutes and hypothermia can set in. Players will be moving around or huddling around giant heaters on the sidelines, but fans will have to take extra safety measures, such as dressing in layers and sipping warm drinks.

The Packers plan to pass out 70,000 hand warmers, packets that fit inside gloves or boots and stay warm for up to 10 hours. The team will also provide free coffee and hot chocolate.

Kellie Kunz, a Packers fan and homemaker from Naperville will be attending her first Green Bay game Sunday.

Fans watch the Green Bay Packers play the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Championship game Dec. 31, 1967 in Green Bay, Wis. Comparisons to the legendary 1967 Ice Bowl are inevitable when the mercury dips below zero at Lambeau Field. But even if temperatures sink to minus 13 on Sunday, at the 49ers-Packers playoff game, modern technology will ensure fans are warmer than their predecessors.

Wild Card schedule Saturday’s games Kansas City at Indianapolis, 3:35 p.m., NBC New Orleans at Philadelphia, 7:10 pm., NBC Sunday’s games San Diego at Cincinnati, 12:05 p.m., CBS San Francisco at Green Bay, 3:40 p.m., FOX

She said the opportunity to see her team in a critical playoff game was just too good to pass up.

“We’ll dress warm – down jacket, long underwear,

fleece-lined tights,” said Kunz, who grew up in Wisconsin. “I’m just hoping the game is going to be so exciting we won’t even notice the freezing cold.”

Lambeau Field has a heating system buried beneath the turf to keep the field from freezing, but it failed during the Ice Bowl, leaving the field hard as cement.

The system was upgraded in 1997 to include 30 miles of heating pipes, so players on Sunday can expect softer landings.

The Ice Bowl took a major toll on players, said Ed Gruver, the author of a book called “The Ice Bowl: The Cold Truth About Football’s

Most Unforgettable Game.”

Packers coach Vince Lombardi didn’t let most of his players wear gloves, so several, including quarterback Bart Starr, suffered varying degrees of frostbite, Gruver said.

One Cowboys player had respiratory problems attributed to breathing in so much frigid air, he added, and Dallas quarterback Don Meredith’s calls were inarticulate because his lips were frozen.

“Now players wear Under Armour. They have gloves; they have these giant heaters. They’ll be OK,” Gruver said. “Back then, most of them just wore long johns.”

NEW YORK – Peyton Manning has responded to a lost season the way he reacted to all of his great seasons.

By having more great seasons.

Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. It was his seventh time as a first-teamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto Graham for the most by a quarterback.

The Denver star set NFL records this season with 55 touchdown passes and 5,477 yards through the air.

He was chosen on all 50 ballots from media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning also was an All-Pro for Indianapolis in 2003, ’04, ’05, ’08 and ’09, and last season made it as a Bronco. He’s been on the All-Pro team in both seasons since missing 2011 after several neck surgeries.

“I think it’s well documented that this is the second chapter of my career, and didn’t know what to expect off that injury and new team, new players and new physical state after an injury,” said Manning, a four-time league MVP who never missed a pro start before 2011. “So I had no idea what to expect, and I’ve put a lot of time and a lot of hard work in to it. But I’ve received a lot of help along the way from coaches and trainers and strength coaches and teammates. So I’m very grateful.”

Manning still has a ways to go to set the record for most All-Pro appearances at any position. Among the players ahead of him is Hall of Fame

receiver Jerry Rice with 10.

New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and Indianapolis outside linebacker Robert Mathis each drew 49 votes. Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman had 48.

Minnesota kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson was the only rookie on the squad.

Eighteen NFC players and nine from the AFC made the team. Carolina and Philadelphia each had three: linebacker Luke Kuechly, center Ryan Kalil and fullback Mike Tolbert for the Panthers; NFL rushing leader McCoy, guard Evan Mathis and tackle Jason Peters for the coach Chip Kelly’s Eagles.

Only two members of the top teams in each conference made the All-Pro team. Joining Manning from the Broncos (13-3) was guard Louis Vasquez. Joining Sherman from the Seahawks (13-3) was safety Earl Thomas.

Rounding out the offense were receivers Calvin Johnson of Detroit and Josh Gordon of Cleveland; running back Jamaal Charles of Kansas City; and tackle Joe Thomas of Cleveland.

Other All-Pros on defense were ends J.J. Watt of Houston and Robert Quinn of St. Louis; tackles Gerald McCoy of Tampa Bay and Ndamukong Suh of Detroit; outside linebacker Lavonte David of Tampa Bay; inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman of San Francisco; cornerback Patrick Peterson of Arizona; and safety Eric Berry of Kansas City.

The special teamers were Patterson, kicker Justin Tucker of Baltimore and St. Louis punter Johnny Hekker.

Bears to have big cap hit with Peppers’ $18M salary • BEARS Continued from page C1 Emery also suggested that free agent Corey Wootton, who played defensive tackle and end because of all the injuries, could fit into a 3-4 defense, as “a guy that transcends scheme for us.” Emery said he expects to continue contract talks with the 26-year-old.

So, where does this leave Cover-2 staples, cornerback Charles Tillman (a free agent) or defensive end Julius Peppers (who is under contract for two more years)? Or Lance Briggs, the leader of the Bears defense? Or even linebacker D.J. Williams, who played in a 3-4 defense in Denver and was commended for his limited play this season by Emery?

“We’re going to have to draft to get younger,” Emery said. “It doesn’t have anything to do with Tillman, Williams or Lance Briggs.”

Peppers’ future with the Bears, though, is at precarious point with him having a cap hit over $18 million in 2014 and his 2013 season not worth such a commitment. Emery said Peppers remains under contract and that he’s proud he’s a Bear, but added, “We will work through each and every player on our squad to determine where we’re going with him.”

Whatever happens, veteran cornerback Tim Jennings, with a new four-year deal in hand, will be part of it. He wouldn’t object to being part of 3-4 defense or something similar.

And although a youth movement may lead to the departures of some long-time teammates, Jennings understands the realities of free agency and what happens after down seasons.

“I definitely don’t think it’ll hurt,” Jennings said. “I think you have to get younger. You can’t be like a mid-30s veteran team. You have to bring guys in there to get the job done, and to be able to carry that legacy for a long period of time.”

Adam Mayfield explains he moved to Florida because he knew he could easily find a job in Orlando after he was laid off in Atlanta last year. Sometime this year, Florida will surpass New York in population and become the nation’s third-most populous state.

Flocking to Florida Florida to pass New York’s state population

By MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. – Sometime this year, Florida will surpass New York in population, becoming the nation’s third-most populous state, and sunseeking seniors are not driving the growth.

The milestone is validation of the increasing influence of the Sunshine State as it approaches being home to 20 million residents. Once Florida passes New York, only California and Texas will have more people.

“Florida is kind of an icon of the 21st century in terms of the shifting population and the growing role Latin America is playing in transforming the country,” said James Johnson, a business professor at the University of North Carolina. “I think it’s going to be for the 21st century what California or New York was for the 20th century.”

Florida encompasses many trends in America: an aging population, a service-oriented economy with many low-wage jobs and an ethnic diversity propelled by Hispanic growth. Like the United States, Florida is a haven for migrants and people making fresh starts, and the state’s 29 electoral votes are the nation’s most coveted given Florida is the nation’s largest swing state. Florida also has myriad problems, some the result of its explosive growth, which must be addressed for the state to keep thriving.

New Floridians, such as 47-yearold Michael Richards, list a num-

The Florida Aquifer, the state’s primary source of water, is becoming smaller due to the growth in population. ber of reasons for moving here: the weather, no state income tax, a familiarity from family vacations or being stationed in the military, the availability of low-skill jobs and proximity to Latin America and Europe.

“You put up with three months of hell [in the summer] for nine months of great weather,” said Richards, who moved to the Tampa area in 2011 after retiring from the military so his wife could be a quick plane-ride away from her family in Panama.

Although Florida has the nation’s largest share of residents over age 65, seniors are not propelling the re-

cent growth from migration. They account for less than 10 percent of new residents in the last several years.

Instead, more than half of the new arrivals are between 25 and 64, according to an AP analysis of data from the U.S. Census’ American Community Survey. Almost two-fifths of them were under age 25.

New York isn’t shrinking in population; it’s just that Florida’s growth is outpacing it by a 3-to-1 ratio, and ex-New Yorkers are the biggest domestic source of new Floridians.

CHAMPAIGN – An index that measures the growth of the state’s economy finished 2013 at one of its highest points since 2007.

The University of Illinois said its Flash Index hit 107 in December. That was up from 106.5 in November and tied September for the highest reading of 2013. The last time the index was higher was in April 2007.

A reading higher than 100 indicates the state’s economy is growing.

Economist Fred Giertz of the university’s Institute of Government and Public Affairs said the economy finished the year strong.

He said that is reason for optimism in spite of stubbornly high unemployment.

Illinois’ unemployment rate is one of the highest in the nation and stood at 8.7 percent in November. December unemployment hasn’t yet been reported.

USDA opens door to new herbicide-resistant seeds MILWAUKEE – The U.S. Department of Agriculture opened the door Friday to commercial sales of corn and soybean seeds genetically engineered to resist the weed killer 2,4-D, which is best known as an ingredient in the Vietnam Warera herbicide Agent Orange.

The U.S. military stopped using Agent Orange in 1971, and it has not been produced since the 1970s. Scientists don’t believe 2,4-D, which is legal and commonly used by gardeners and some farmers, was responsible for the health problems linked to Agent Orange.

The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service published a draft environmental impact statement Friday as part of the process for potential deregulation of the seeds, which can now be used only in tightly controlled field trials. Deregulation would allow commercial development of the seeds and presumably lead to greater use of the herbicide.

The USDA has oversight over the seeds, not the herbicide.

The public has 45 days to comment on its report. The Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a separate review of 2,4-D, although it previously found it safe to use.

Will surge of older workers take jobs from young?

By MATT SEDENSKY The Associated Press CHICAGO – It’s an assertion that has been accepted as fact by droves of the unemployed: Older people remaining on the job later in life are stealing jobs from young people.

One problem, many economists say: It isn’t supported by a wisp of fact.

“We all cannot believe that we have been fighting this theory for more than 150 years,” said April Yanyuan Wu, a research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, who co-authored a paper last year on the subject.

The theory Wu is referring to is known as “lump of labor,” and it has maintained traction in the U.S., particularly in a climate of high unemployment. The theory dates to 1851 and says if a group enters the labor market – or in this case, remains in it beyond their normal retirement date – others will be unable to gain employment or will have their hours cut.

It’s a line of thinking that has been used in the U.S. immigration debate and in Europe to validate early retirement programs, and it relies on a simple premise: That there are a fixed number of jobs available. In fact, most economists dispute this. When women entered the workforce, there weren’t fewer

jobs for men. The economy simply expanded.

The same is true with older workers, they argue.

“There’s no evidence to support that increased employment by older people is going to hurt younger people in any way,” said Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research and the coauthor with Wu of “Are Aging Baby Boomers Squeezing Young Workers Out of Jobs?”

“It’s not going to reduce their wages, it’s not going to reduce their hours, it’s not going to do anything bad to them,” Munnell said.

Still, the perception has persisted, from prominent stories in The New York Times, Newsweek and other media outlets, to a pointed question to Rep. Nancy Pelosi last year by the NBC reporter Luke Russert, who asked whether her refusal to step out of the House leadership (and the similar decisions of other older lawmakers) was denying younger politicians a chance. A chorus of lawmakers around Pelosi muttered and shouted “discrimination,” until the Democratic leader chimed in herself.

“Let’s for a moment honor it as a legitimate question, although it’s quite offensive,” she said. “But you don’t realize that, I guess.”

The heart of Russert’s question makes sense to many: If Pelosi doesn’t give up her position,

a younger person doesn’t have a chance to take it. That viewpoint is repeated in countless workplaces around the country, where a younger person awaits a senior employee’s departure for their chance to ascend.

But economists say the larger macroeconomic view gives a clearer picture: Having older people active and productive actually benefits all age groups, they say, and spurs the creation of more jobs. Munnell and Wu analyzed Current Population Survey data to test for any changes in employment among those under 55 when those 55 and older worked in greater numbers. They found no evidence younger workers were losing work and in fact found the opposite: Greater employment, reduced unemployment and yielded higher wages.

Munnell said, outside of economists, the findings can be hard for people to understand when they think only of their own workplace.

“They just could not get in their heads this dynamism that is involved,” she said. “You can’t extrapolate from the experience of a single company to the economy as a whole.”

Still, many remain unconvinced.

James Galbraith, a professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin, has advocated for a temporary lowering of the age to qualify for Social Security and

Medicare to allow older workers who don’t want to remain on the job a way to exit and to spur openings for younger workers.

He doesn’t buy the comparison of older workers to women entering the workforce and says others’ arguments on older workers expanding the economy don’t make sense when there are so many unemployed people.

If there was a surplus of jobs, he said, there would be no problem with people working longer. But there isn’t.

“I can’t imagine how you could refute that. The older worker retires, the employer looks around and hires another worker,” he said.

“It’s like refuting elementary arithmetic.”

Melissa Quercia, 35, a controller for a small information technology company in Phoenix, said she sees signs of the generational job battle all around her: jobs once taken by high schoolers now filled by seniors, college graduates who can’t find work anywhere, the resulting dearth of experience of younger applicants.

She doesn’t see economists’ arguments playing out. Older people staying on the job aren’t spurring new jobs, because companies aren’t investing in creating new positions, she said.

Auto sales falter in December cause of strong sales on Black Friday weekend, he said, so that took some steam out of sales in the beginning of December. About half of Ford’s December sales came in the final week of the month, he said.

Poor weather throughout the month also may have kept many buyers home, he said.

But December’s sales pace was still tracking at an annualized pace of more than 16 million vehicles, a healthy rate for the industry, he said.

GM’s pickup truck sales apparently fell victim to heavy discounts that Ford offered on its F-Series, which posted an 8 percent gain in December.

Chrysler’s Ram pickup also posted a large gain at 11 percent.

For the full year, though, Ford led all major automakers with an 11 percent gain to almost 2.5 million vehicles.

Chrysler sales were up 9 percent to 1.8 million cars and trucks, and Nissan also posted a 9 percent gain to nearly 1.25 million vehicles. GM sales rose 7 percent to 2.8 million.

Toyota sales also were up 7 percent to just over 2.2 million cars and trucks. But the VW brand struggled, with sales falling 7 percent to nearly 408,000.

Analysts expect automakers will need to work harder this year to maintain sales momentum. Auto sales have risen by more than a million vehicles per year since 2009, when just 10.4 million cars and trucks sold. But some analysts expect growth to slow to as little as 400,000 this year, with total sales around 16 million.

That should be good news for shoppers: automakers likely will offer deals to protect or increase market share.

“We think there’s going to definitely be more competition,” said Larry Dominique, president of Automotive Lease Guide, a company that tracks lease costs and car prices.

As a result, Dominique said, consumers should look for more bargains, especially on pickup trucks and midsize cars.

2014, with car sales rising to pre-recession levels.”

But automakers may need to do more to lure shoppers into showrooms. Analysts say discounts rose in December, and there were signs that automakers were beginning to lower prices to match competitors. That could foreshadow better deals in the new year, especially on pickup trucks and midsize cars.

GM’s December sales were off more than 6 percent as sales of its top-selling model, the Chevrolet Silverado pickup, fell 16 percent. Toyota sales were down 1.7 percent from a year ago, while Ford sales were up only 1.8 percent for the month. Volkswagen, which has struggled all year, saw sales fall 23 percent.

Ford and GM said bad weather cut into December sales, and discounts in late November pulled sales ahead from December.

John Felice, Ford’s U.S. sales chief, said he wasn’t concerned about softer sales in December. November sales were better than expected be-

By DEE ANN DURBIN and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press DETROIT – December U.S. auto sales slowed a bit from the brisk pace earlier this year, but automakers still were on target to finish 2013 with the best numbers in six years.

Nissan posted an 11 percent gain for December and Chrysler managed a 6 percent increase. But General Motors, Toyota, Ford and Volkswagen each posted disappointing numbers. Still, most major automakers reported at least a 7 percent increase for 2013, and analysts expect full-year sales to be up around 8 percent to 15.6 million when all the numbers are in. That would be the highest sales figure since 16.1 million in 2007.

“The auto industry was a consistent bright spot in the economic recovery throughout 2013,” Bill Fay, Toyota division group vice president, said Friday in a statement.

“We expect the economy will continue to gain strength in

Motorboat operators, entertainers abound • FLORIDA Continued from page E1 More than 537,000 residents moved to Florida last year, and around a tenth of them came from New York State. As of last July, the two states were separated by about 98,000 people: New York had 19.6 million residents and Florida had 19.5 million residents, according to Census figures released earlier this week. As of Friday, that difference likely had been whittled down to about 20,000 people.

Migrants from Latin America dominated the newly arrived Floridians who came from outside the United States. Nondomestic migrants represented a quarter of Florida’s new arrivals last year.

The largest flow of migrants outside the 50 states was from the Caribbean to

“Cost may still be an issue for those in need of the most care,” said Steven Weiss, spokesman for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. That “makes it critically important for patients looking at premiums to also consider out-of-pocket costs when choosing a plan.”

Out-of-pocket costs include a health plan’s annual deductible, which is the amount before insurance starts paying, and any copayments and costsharing.

A few numbers tell the story. Take someone under 65 with no access to health insurance on the job and making $24,000 a year — about what many service jobs pay.

Under the health care law, that person’s premiums would be capped below 7 percent of his income, about $130 a month. A stretch on a tight budget, yet doable.

But if he gets really sick or has an accident, his out-ofpocket expenses could go as high as $5,200 a year in a worstcase scenario. That’s even with

By RICARDO ALONSO ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For working people making modest wages and struggling with high medical bills from chronic disease, President Barack Obama’s health care plan sounds like long-awaited relief. But the promise could go unfulfilled.

It’s true patients with cancer and difficult conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Crohn’s disease will be able to get insurance and financial help with monthly premiums.

But their annual out-of-pocket costs could still be so high they’ll have trouble staying out of debt.

You couldn’t call them uninsured any longer. You might say they’re “underinsured.”

These gaps “need to be addressed in order to fulfill the intention of the Affordable Care Act,” said Brian Rosen, a senior vice president of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “There are certainly challenges for cancer patients.”

South Florida, particularly the Miami area, according to the AP analysis.

Although the opportunities in Florida aren’t what they were a decade ago, prospects remain. The top jobs found in disproportionately higher numbers than the rest of the nation are motorboat operators, entertainers, athletes, construction workers and real estate agents.

Florida’s mean annual wage of $41,000 is less than California’s $52,300, New York’s $53,500 or Texas’ $44,000, but some new Florida residents see benefits to working in a fluid, low-wage economy.

additional financial subsidies that the law provides people with modest incomes and high out-of-pocket costs.

The $5,200 would be more than 20 percent of the person’s income, well above a common threshold for being underinsured.

“Chronically ill people are likely to be underinsured and face extremely high outof-pocket costs,” said Caroline Pearson, who tracks the health care overhaul for Avalere Health, a market research and consulting firm.

“While the subsidies help, there still may be access problems for some populations.”

Under the law, insurance companies competing in new online markets such as HealthCare.gov can offer four levels of coverage.

All plans cover the same benefits; the difference is in financial protection. A bronze plan covers 60 percent of expected costs, silver covers 70 percent, gold covers 80 percent, and platinum covers 90 percent.

• OLDER WORKERS Continued from page E1 “It’s really hard to retire right now, I understand that,” she said. “But if the younger generation doesn’t have a chance to get their foot in the door, then what?”

Jonathan Gruber, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who edited a book on the subject for the National Bureau of Economic Research, said it’s a frustrating reality of his profession: That those things he knows as facts are disputed by the populace.

“If you polled the average American they probably would think the opposite,” he said. “There’s a lot of things economists say that people don’t get and this is just one of them.”

The 2013 Richard Freeman Junior Deal of the Year went to Chen Yuechen from China. The deal, which was described by Fu Tsiang, occurred during the Chinese Junior Championships, played in Suzhou, some 60 miles from Shanghai.

In the auction, two hearts was either natural or a big, balanced hand. Over the forced two-spade puppet, two no-trump promised 24-26 points. After Stayman, North invited a slam with four no-trump, and South accepted despite his minimum count because he had all of those aces and kings.

Without a clear opening lead, Chen (West) chose his lowest club. Cao Jiahao (East) correctly put in his nine, and South won with his ace. Declarer played a diamond to dummy’s jack, then ran the heart jack.

How did West defend?

West realized that declarer needed two more dummy entries, one to repeat the heart inesse and one to cash the 13th heart.

Those entries had to come in spades.

West won with his heart

ace and led another diamond, a key play. (A club would have given South four tricks in the suit with a good guess. And a spade would have been won by dummy’s 10.)

South took this trick, cashed the club king to try to drop the queen, then led his spade seven. West was ready, playing his jack to kill the second dummy entry. Now the contract had to fail. South took only three spades, two hearts, four diamonds and two clubs.

(More about this deal on Monday.)

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - If you are not careful, indecisiveness will cause stagnation. Lack of confidence in your abilities may make you overly impressionable. Surround yourself with inspiring people who will reassure you that you’re making good choices. This is the year to exorcise your demons and think positively.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s best to lie low and allow someone else to take the lead. You will discover far more about this person if you remain passive.

Don’t be forthcoming about your plans, or someone may try to beat you to the finish line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be honest; it will be impossible to hide your feelings. Make your needs clear and search for a way to sort out existing problems.

People who don’t understand your values should be regarded as acquaintances -- not friends.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Make a point of mingling today. This will be a good time to network. If you are in the right place at the right time, an investment opportunity will arise. Stay motivated.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Decisions may be clouded by emotional issues. To avoid a misunderstanding, be open about whatever is distracting you. Face difficulties methodically so they don’t resurface later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A physical activity may lead to new friendships. Someone from your past may turn up unexpectedly. Be cautious in order to avoid this person taking advantage of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Meeting up with chums will be inspiring. Travel will stimulate you, and you may make new friends. As long as you are conservative with your money, investments can be made.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Reading will lead to valuable information. Idleness is the enemy. Make adjustments to your home environment, but stick to a budget. Keeping busy will help your mood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ego will be bruised if you have allowed someone to make a fool of you.

Trying to feel better through extravagance will not help.

Choose to be a passive observer today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A financial endeavor may leave you disillusioned. Don’t allow loved ones to meddle in your finances -- their suggestions won’t pay off. Offer advice, but don’t lend money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Now is a great time to travel. You can learn, have fun and make new friends.

Conversations with fascinating and unique individuals will inspire and energize you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Professional changes are necessary. Look into taking a new direction or starting your own business. Others are unlikely to be helpful, but you will find satisfaction in doing the work yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Today, you will need to say “no.” Avoid projects that make you uneasy.

Employ tact when handling other people’s concerns. Try not to get wrapped up in someone else’s drama.

SCARED… ALONE… HOMELESS… Imagine you’re a single mother. You’ve lost your apartment and don’t have a safe, warm place for your children to sleep. Cold, huddled together in a run-down car that is now considered “home.”

Imagine you’re a veteran. Returning home from service with post-traumatic stress disorder. A hero, unable to hold down a job—now sleeping on a cold park bench.

The reality of homelessness is frightening. It affects people at the most vulnerable point in their lives.

McHenry County PADS addresses basic, vital human needs, it offers life-changing services--and it works!
