Trustees hear pleas for additional space By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College trustees received a more detailed account of what the health and science departments need as the board considers constructing a new building for the program. Staff members of health and science programs argued their case for more space, saying expansion and improvements are long overdue. More details were given about how the proposed space would be used, including an additional laboratory for nursing and the EMS/EMT program, new laboratories for soon-to-come programs including physical therapy and respiratory therapy and doubling the size of some spaces for courses such as occupational therapy. Administrators told trustees new programs could not be accredited without dedicated classrooms and labs while some existing programs could double lecture sessions from 24 students per class to 48 with more space. Marla Garrison, a biology instructor, made a passionate plea to trustees, asking them not to settle for repurposing space or shifting crucial curriculum to online-only offerings. Garrison said she was ashamed she did not push for expansion and improvements when she came to the college 14 years ago as laboratories were “abysmal” back then. Biology department chair Robert Smith added space is at a premium with 170 students on a waiting list for only 40 open seats in major courses. “We’re in a crisis. We’re desperate,” Garrison said. “I will teach in the pouring rain in a

dna McCall used to love traveling east. Where others might picture towering cities, McCall liked to find the small towns. She’d hop from one to another, visiting the homegrown shops unique to their town squares. Now, she says, so many of those small towns are gone. So many of the shops are chain stores. “Everything is starting to look alike,” said McCall, owner of her own little place, the Flag Store, in

downtown Crystal Lake. The growth of big box stores is one reason McCall advocates for locals to keep their tax dollars within their respective communities. A dollar toward a local business is a dollar toward growing that community, she says. Across the county, with Christmas fast approaching, McHenry County businesses and municipalities are in a fight for holiday dollars

Office Depot move raises tax-break issue again for Illinois The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Illinois will lose 1,600 jobs after Office Depot said Tuesday that it will keep its headquarters in Florida after its merger with Naperville-based OfficeMax. The move comes just a week after the state Legislature declined to give the company millions in tax breaks.

The state senator who sponsored the bill that would have given Office Depot a tax package worth $53 million regretted that lawmakers didn’t agree to the deal. But some experts said that, given the state’s bad financial situation, not offering tax breaks might have been a smart move. The company’s announcement led

one Republican gubernatorial candidate to call on Gov. Pat Quinn to hurry lawmakers back to Springfield to act on another set of tax breaks that Archer Daniels Midland Company has asked for as it considers locations for a new headquarters. The governor’s office did not immediately say if that was under consideration.

State Sen. Tom Cullerton, who sponsored the Office Depot bill, said the company’s decision was disappointing. “It’s a small setback, but it definitely does not mean Illinois is closed for business,” Cullerton, a Villa Park Democrat, said. Office Depot spokeswoman Karen Denning said Illinois’ lack of an in-

8WATER COOLER Man, 109, cites unlisted number for longevity JERMYN, Pa. – What’s the secret to a long life? Having an unlisted number. That’s according to Leo Moskovitz, who just turned 109. The northeastern Pennsylvania resident jokes that God can’t find him because his name has never appeared in the phone book. The Times-Tribune of Scranton reported that Moskovitz celebrated his birthday with friends and family at a restaurant on Sunday. People curious about his longevity often ask Moskovitz about his diet. He said he switches between oatmeal and eggs for breakfast, but isn’t sure if that’s why he’s lived so long. He says, “If I knew what the secret was, I’d patent it.” Moskovitz and his 87-yearold wife, Ann, have been married for 45 years. They live in Jermyn.

Obama hails Mandela as ‘last great liberator’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG – Amid cheers and song for the prisoner who became peacemaker, President Barack Obama energized tens of thousands of spectators and nearly 100 visiting heads of state Tuesday with a plea for the world to emulate Nelson Mandela, “the last great liberator of the 20th century.” Obama’s eulogy was the rhetorical highlight of a memorial service in which South Africans celebrated Mandela’s life with singing and dancing, often during dignitaries’ speeches. They also booed their own president and were chided by a top government official who said: “Let’s not embarrass ourselves.” Lashing rain lent a freewheeling aspect to the memorial, with people taking shelter in the stadium’s wide hallways, where they sang anti-apartheid anthems from the 1970s and 1980s. Foul weather kept many away, and the 95,000-capacity stadium was only two-thirds full. Obama implored people to embrace Mandela’s universal message of peace and justice, comparing the South African leader to Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln. Mandela spent 27 years in prison under a racist regime, and promoted forgiveness and reconciliation when he was finally freed. “We will never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again,” Obama said. “But let me say to the young people of Africa, and young people around the world – you can make his life’s work your own.” He hailed Mandela, who

Obama, who like Mandela became the first black president of his country, said he was inspired by Mandela as a student. The speech was greeted with thunderous applause, and many heads of state and

other foreign dignitaries gave a standing ovation. Obama pointed out that “around the world today, men and women are still imprisoned for their political beliefs, and are still persecuted for what they look like, or how they worship, or who they love.” Among the heads of state and government were some from countries like Cuba that don’t hold fully democratic elections. On the way to the podium, Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro, underscoring a recent warming of relations between their countries. Other attending leaders criticized for their human

rights records were Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang Nguema and Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh. In contrast to the wild applause given to Obama, South African President Jacob Zuma was booed. Many South Africans are unhappy with Zuma because of state corruption scandals, though his ruling African National Congress, once led by Mandela, remains the front-runner ahead of elections next year. Mandela’s record after he was elected in the first all-race elections in 1994 has faced some criticism, most of it indirect because he is such a revered figure.

100,000 expected for feast Mass 12-foot-tall shrine part of celebration The ASSOCIATED PRESS DES PLAINES – Des Plaines officials are preparing for as many as 100,000 worshippers who are expected to visit a 12-foot-tall replica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The shrine is at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines, where Masses will be held every two hours starting Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening. They’re marking the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, according to a report. In Mexico, Dec. 12 has become one of the country’s most important religious holidays as millions make a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City to honor the virgin who is said to have appeared to an Indian peasant in 1531. Maryville’s rector, Rev. Marco Mercado, said the Illinois site’s popularity has grown in recent years as worshippers travel – sometimes on foot – from their own parishes to pray. “It was never intended to be a shrine,” he said. “That’s the miracle of it. Because of their devotion to Our Lady, this site has gotten into the heart of the people.” Noé Quiroga said he plans to walk from Mission San Juan Diego near Arlington Heights to Maryville, which is about seven miles. “We will be walking to say thanks to Our Lady of Guadalupe,” he said. “It’s stronger walking in a group. You feel united with the community.” Others will run back to their churches from Maryville carrying torches that were lit after a blessing Wednesday evening. “Doing something physical like this speaks to them, in terms of their spirituality,” said Rev. Matthew Foley, pastor of St. James Parish in Arlington Heights who started a 21-mile torch run from Maryville to his previous parish in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood in 2004. Maryville’s shrine dates to 1988 when a traveling statue was brought from Mexico City by a parishioner. It later was replaced by a replica of Our Lady in 1996 and blessed by the head of the basilica.

S&P improves Ill. rating after pension vote By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A major credit-rating house took a more positive outlook Tuesday on Illinois’ ability to pay its debts, a rare economic bright spot for the state one week after lawmakers approved major pension-reform legislation. Standard & Poor’s declared Illinois’ fiscal outlook as “developing,” an improvement, if a somewhat fuzzy one, over its previous “negative” outlook. S&P affirmed its A- minus rating – sixth from the best – on Prairie State debt that is backed by general tax reve-

nue. The announcement came after each of the other two major agencies said the pension reform action was a “credit positive.” The Legislature voted for the measure Dec. 3, and Gov. Pat Quinn signed it into law two days later. “The ratings agencies are recognizing that Illinois is moving in the right direction,” Democrat Quinn, who’s running for re-election in 2014, said in a prepared statement. “ ... This improved outlook will be the first of many positive developments toward a revitalized and stronger Illinois.” Quinn was particularly enthused because in his quest

8STATE BRIEFS Quinn touting pension reform in letter SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn went without a paycheck for months to make the point that lawmakers needed to pass a pension reform bill. Now he’s seeking to make sure the successful effort pays off in his re-election bid. The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises Newspapers reported that Quinn’s campaign touted the achievement in a newsletter to supporters that includes a link to contribute money. In the message, Quinn said “the pension crisis was the biggest fiscal challenge Illinois has ever faced and getting this done is a historic win for the people of Illinois.” He goes on to say, “Let’s keep moving forward.”

Mother charged after girl’s death EFFINGHAM – The mother of a 7-year-old southern Illinois girl who authorities said was stabbed to death by her uncle made her first court appearance Tuesday on a misdemeanor obstruction charge of lying to investigators. Ciara DeRyke, arrested Monday, was appointed to be represented by a public defender on the obstruction of a peace officer count related to the time she last saw daughter Willow Long alive in their Watson home, the Effingham Daily News reported. Investigators said DeRyke insisted she saw the girl watching TV the morning of Sept. 8, although authorities said the child actually had been killed hours earlier.

Consulate to hold Chicago memorial for Mandela CHICAGO – A memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela will be held this week in Chicago. A spokesman for the South African consul general’s office said he expects a capacity crowd at Friday evening’s memorial on Chicago’s South Side. The event is being held at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition head-

quarters, which can hold about 1,000 mourners. Friday’s service is set to begin at 7 p.m. and is being billed as a celebration of Mandela’s life. It will feature religious leaders from a variety of faiths and is one of a number of similar memorials being held around the country. Mandela died last week at age 95.

WIU: Standards of admissions working MACOMB – Western Illinois University said tougher admissions standards are helping to attract more qualified applicants. University officials announced this year that the new standards would go into effect for high school seniors applying for the fall 2014 semester. Admissions Director Andy Borst said the university has seen progress and hopes for even more improvement. He said the university is drawing more qualified applicants, while Western is making admissions decisions much more quickly than in the past – within four days, instead of three weeks. Borst said the number of freshman applicants meeting the school’s tougher standards is up 12.6 percent compared to last year. Another 5,500 freshmen are expected to apply for the fall 2014 semester.

for a pension-reform bill, he often cited the impact on credit-worthiness, noting that downgrades in ratings means the state pays more in interest when it borrows money. S&P made it clear its action resulted from the pension law, which reduces state employees’ contributions but also reduces their retirement benefits on the way to a 30year plan to reduce the $100 billion deficit largely in four state pension accounts. But it warned of challenges to come. “The ‘developing’ outlook reflects the implementation risk – legal and budgetary – associated with various provisions of the pension reform, as well as the overall structur-

al budget challenges facing the state.” S&P credit analyst Robin Prunty said in a statement. For one, labor unions have threatened a lawsuit challenging the new law’s constitutionality. Critics believe the law violates the prohibition on reducing promised benefits to state workers. Another, S&P said, is a temporary 67 percent income tax increase that is expiring at the end of 2014. An adverse court ruling or no action to continue or replace the income tax could negatively affect Illinois’ rating, S&P said. Treasurer Dan Rutherford, one of four Republicans seek-

Illinois looks for reasons behind rise in child deaths By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Lawmakers questioned Illinois child welfare officials Tuesday about an increase in the number of children reported to have died of neglect or abuse in the state, though agency officials argued the number partly reflected a change in the way neglect cases are counted. The Department of Children and Family Services says 104 children died of abuse or neglect in Illinois in the fiscal year that ended in June, a sharp increase from the 30-year average of 77. Testimony from DCFS Acting Director Denise Gonzales and experts, including doctors specializing in child abuse cases, revealed a system that is beleaguered by staff shortages and poor communication. However, there were no

definitive conclusions about whether that, too, might be contributing to an increase. “If there are answers to be found, we will work relentlessly to find the answers,” Gonzales told the Senate Human Services subcommittee. Since becoming acting director last month, Gonzales ordered a review of each of the 104 cases. Most of them – 74 deaths – were classified as neglect cases, an 80 percent increase in that category since 2009. Abuse cases, meanwhile, have declined over that period. Gonzales said new reporting methods introduced in 2011 may account for more deaths being classified as neglect cases, where once they would have been listed as having undetermined causes. Under the changes, DCFS categorizes the deaths of children who suffocated while sleeping as neglect if it can be proven the parents

Co-sleeping deaths can be classified as neglect in these cases, even if the parents had not consumed alcohol or drugs. The change was made at a time when the number of sleep suffocations was rising, but the DCFS inspector general, who also testified Tuesday, questioned the wisdom of that route. “I don’t think that’s what the public thinks neglect and abuse is about,” said Inspector General Denise Kane. Kane said that should be a matter for public health authorities and pointed to a need for better public awareness. Gonzales said the agency may re-examine the types of cases included in the neglect category.

Cost estimate lowered for Rockford airport work ROCKFORD – It’s going to cost less than expected to expand a terminal at Rockford’s airport. It originally was estimated that the project at Chicago Rockford International Airport would cost about $37 million. But airport deputy director Amy Ott told the Rockford Register Star that it will cost less than $20 million. Plans call for a 20,000-squarefoot addition. Airport officials said it’s necessary because the current terminal can’t handle passenger volume during peak travel periods. Ott said construction could start next fall.

Report: pay gains A year later, Sandy Hook shooting still fresh in people’s minds for young women

Horror, grief and tough choices By MICHAEL MELIA The Associated Press

NEWTOWN, Conn. – A year later, inside the big house on Berkshire Road, dolls fill the shelves of a living room and flowers and rainbows decorate a kitchen window, next to a little girl’s name: Avielle. Outside, all around town, Christmas lights shimmer again. But so, too, do the 26 bronze stars that sit atop the local firehouse, one for each adult and child gunned down at a school one unimaginable day. In so many ways, this is a place frozen in time. Ribbons of green – the Sandy Hook Elementary School color – stay tied to mailboxes and storefronts, just as a curly-haired girl smiles from a framed photograph that remains atop a mantel inside Jeremy Richman’s century-old home. People might assume the hurt that accompanies tragedy fades with time. But, said Richman, who last Dec. 14 lost his only child, “I miss Avielle more every day.” It’s been a painful and frenetic year, for the Richmans and for all of Newtown. From horror came despair and, soon, attempts at moving beyond one of the nation’s deadliest shootings. There were the logistics of recovery to tend to and decisions about whether to raze the school where so many perished. The Labor Day parade marched on, and as foliage turned red and yellow, small survivors filed back into school with their parents’ shaky assurances they would be safe. Now, with winter on their doorstep once again, the people of Newtown are bracing for the day everyone here simply calls 12/14. “For us, it’s not an event. It’s something we live with every single day of our lives,” said Newtown First Selectman E. Patricia Llodra, who called together a panel of community leaders, mental health experts, clergy members and residents to consider what to do about the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. To avoid drawing more media attention, they decided not to hold any formal remembrances. Llodra and the victims’ families have urged people to

Avielle was one of 20 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre Dec. 14, 2012. “I miss Avielle more every day,” Jeremy Richman said.

Reflections from people close to Newtown tragedy FIRST SELECTMAN E. PATRICIA LLODRA Llodra, Newtown’s top elected official, said she still breaks down occasionally when talking with others privately about the tragedy, but she resolved on the day of the shooting not to give in to her emotions. “I could not allow myself to fall apart because there were things to be done. I had to model for others the behaviors that said, ‘I’m not going to be destroyed by this horrible thing. I’m going to lead,’ ” she said. THE REV. ROBERT WEISS Weiss, the pastor of Newtown’s St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic church, officiated at funerals for eight of the children killed at Sandy Hook. He said he hopes the tragedy leads to changes in what he sees as the overwhelming amount of violence in American society. mark the date with acts of service and kindness. “We can’t change what happened to us,” Llodra said, “but we have a choice in how we respond.” And so they will do what

“I just can’t even fathom how 26 good, innocent people’s lives can be taken and it doesn’t change the hearts of this country,” he said. “Everywhere I’ve been, people still cry. They still cry. I still cry. It’s just not right. Hopefully, this will at least change some hearts about, ‘Man, we’ve got to do something to be better. We’ve got to do something to make this a better place.’ ”

“We were just thankful people were so concerned about our welfare,” he said. “You only expect great, nice things to happen periodically, and they were happening in rapid succession. The generosity was overwhelming.”

POLICE CHIEF MICHAEL KEHOE The leader of the Newtown Police Department was among the officers who responded to the shooting. In the weeks that followed, he worked long hours as the department kept watch over a jittery town and helped coordinate an outpouring of help and donations, including flags from overseas military bases that were given to the town and still fly at the police building.

GOV. DANNEL P. MALLOY As families gathered in the Sandy Hook firehouse to await word of their loved ones on the day of the shooting, Malloy was the one who broke the news that they had been killed. In April, he signed new gun restrictions into Connecticut law. “Dec. 14, for me at least, and I’m sure for most of the people in Newtown that day, changes everything to some extent. And it certainly has changed many things in the last year, most directly whether it’s public policy or the things that we talk about or the baggage that we carry around,” he said.

they’ve done for a year: balance trying to remember with wanting to forget, and help one another cope with seasons’ worth of grief few outsiders can fathom. On a frigid December night,

only hours after Adam Lanza carried out his rampage, Llodra stood before a church overflowing with stunned townspeople. As some outside sang “Silent Night,” she took the podium to address those

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – It’s that time of year again: doctors caring for Medicare patients once more face a steep pay cut. But this time Congress is pursuing a permanent fix to the annual drama that has undermined the medical profession’s confidence in the nation’s premier health program. A fundamental change in the budget equation has handed lawmakers a rare opportunity to repeal Medicare’s broken physician payment policy, while also freeing them from having to waive billions of dollars in impending cuts every year. Slowing health care inflation has slashed the cost of repealing the old formula, bringing it down to $116.5 billion over 10 years, according to the latest estimates. Democrats and Republicans on both sides of the Capitol plan to push ahead this week with a framework for a new payment policy. Although a final fix will have to wait for next year, the new approach would set up financial carrots and sticks for doctors to provide quality, cost-effective care to more than 50 million elderly and disabled Medicare recipients. Up to 10 percent of an individual physician’s pay eventually could be linked to the doctor’s performance on qual-

ity indicators. The plan would repeal the centerpiece of the old payment formula, a 1990s budget provision that mandates automatic cuts to doctors to limit Medicare spending. It became a symbol of government dysfunction after Congress got into the habit of regularly issuing temporary reprieves. Otherwise doctors might stop accepting Medicare patients. But restoring payments to doctors each year didn’t solve the problem, because the law remained on the books. A reduction of nearly 24 percent next year is called for unless Congress acts. Experts say the old payment formula needs to go not just because it’s ineffective, but also because it encourages a costly, piecemeal approach to health care. Doctors bill for as many services as they can to maximize Medicare reimbursement, but there’s no consistent focus on keeping patients as healthy as possible. Payments to doctors account for 10 percent of Medicare spending, about $60 billion a year. Other outpatient providers also are paid under the same system. Not many years ago, the 10-year cost of repealing the old formula was headed into the $300-billion range. Now that number has declined to a point where a comprehensive fix looks cheaper than continuing to pony up billions for short-term waivers.

By HOPE YEN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Young American women are increasingly likely to receive pay nearly equal to their male counterparts, with earnings at 93 percent of men, a new study finds. Still, those women remain as pessimistic as their mothers and grandmothers regarding gender equality. A report for release Wednesday by the Pew Research Center paints a mixed picture. Although women under 32 now have higher rates of college completion than men that age, the analysis of census and labor data shows their hourly earnings will slip further behind by the women’s mid-30s, if the experience of the past three decades is a guide. That widening gap is a result in part to the many women who take time off or reduce their hours to start families. Other factors cited in the report are gender stereotyping, discrimination, weaker professional networks and women’s hesitancy to aggressively push for raises and promotions, which together might account for 20 to 40 percent of the pay gap. In all, 75 percent of women ages 18-32 say the U.S. needs to do more to bring about equality in the workplace, a percentage similar to baby boomer women ages 49-67 and higher than other age groups. Some 57 percent of young men answered that way. Even so, just 15 percent of young women said they have been discriminated against because of their gender. “Today’s generation of young women is entering the labor force near parity with men in terms of earnings and extremely well prepared in terms of their educational attainment,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “They feel empowered in many ways, yet when they look at the workplace, they see it as a ‘man’s world’ with the deck stacked against them.”

Grounds for Divorce and Legal Separation

Bipartisan fix advancing for Medicare doctors’ pay By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR

gathered inside for a candlelight vigil. “It will be in my head forever to look out at their faces and see how much they were wounded,” she said. From that day, through Christmas and the long winter, the families and the town endured immense grief, beginning with an unrelenting procession of funerals, as they grappled with the toll of the tragedy – 20 first-grade children and six educators gunned down in minutes by a troubled and socially isolated young man with a semi-automatic rifle. Among the clergy members who counseled families that night in the Sandy Hook firehouse was Monsignor Robert Weiss, pastor of the St. Rose of Lima church, who tears up as he remembers the brother of a young victim asking whom he would play with because his sister had been killed. Father Bob, as he is known in town, presided over the funerals for eight of the children. But his lowest moment came two days after the shooting, when he had to ask worshippers to leave halfway through a Mass because of a call from someone threatening to finish the job Lanza started. “That’s the moment that changed me,” he said. “I mean, what is safe for us anymore?” Llodra, a 71-year-old former high school teacher and grandmother, had been Newtown’s top elected official for three years. She felt despondent herself, but she told the crowd at the vigil to put one foot in front of the other, and she steeled herself not to give in to emotion. She drew on lessons from the loss of her own child, a 44-year-old daughter who had died three years earlier, and the advice of officials from Littleton and Aurora, Colo., and Blacksburg, Va., who called to talk over how they had dealt with their own mass shootings. She learned from them that there is no handbook, no one way to lead a town through tragedy. “I used all of their advice in one way or another,” she said. “It was to try to find a way to try not to get overwhelmed. It was to find a way to arm yourself with strength, because the emotional impacts are going to be huge.”

H. Joseph Gitlin, Attorney Joe Gitlin of Woodstock was listed as one of the nation’s top 43 divorce lawyers in the National Law Journal and is listed in The Best Lawyers in America. He is also ranked as an Illinois Leading Lawyer (member of Advisory Board) and Super Lawyer.

Q: I heard that Illinois is a “no fault” divorce state. Does that mean that I do not need grounds for divorce? A: No. Illinois requires grounds for divorce. The “no fault” divorce is one that is had on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Q: What are the Illinois grounds for divorce? A: Irreconcilable differences, natural impotency, bigamy, adultery, desertion, habitual drunkenness, excessive use of addictive drugs, attempted murder of a spouse, physical cruelty, mental cruelty, conviction of a felony or infection of the other spouse with a sexually transmitted disease. Q:: What are the most popular grounds for divorce in non-contested cases? A: Irreconcilable differences and mental cruelty. Q: What does it take to obtain a no fault, or irreconcilable differences divorce? A: The spouses must have lived “separate and apart” for more than two years. While the statute

requires the parties to live separate and apart, an Illinois appellate court held that a party qualiﬁes for a no fault divorce, despite living in the same residence, as long as they cease marital relations, use separate bedrooms and have no meaningful communications with one another for the two year period. By stipulation (agreement) of the parties the time period for living separate and apart may be shortened to six months. Q: Isn’t a mental cruelty divorce as easy as falling off a log? A: Yes, but only if the grounds are uncontested. My experience is that the majority of contested mental cruelty cases are lost. The difﬁculty in contested mental cruelty cases is that the plaintiff (party applying for divorce) must prove that the defendant acted intentionally, that is, his conduct was calculated, or obviously of a nature to cause the plaintiff mental suffering. The plaintiff must also prove that the acts of mental cruelty had an adverse effect on her/him. Q: What does it take to prove physical cruelty? A: Grounds of physical cruelty are seldom used because where there is physical cruelty there is likely to be a good mental cruelty case. There must be at least two acts of physical cruelty and there must be a lack of provocation on the part of the plaintiff. Cases have held that “slight acts of violence” may not constitute physical cruelty. Q: How long must the period of desertion as grounds for divorce be? A: At least one year. Q: What does habitual drunkenness as a grounds for divorce mean?

A: First there is the time element for the drunkenness, which is two years. The term habitual drunkenness as a grounds for divorce does not require one to be in a constant state of drunkenness, but refers to drunkenness with a degree of habit. Q: What is an excessive use of drugs as grounds for divorce? A: First, again, there is the timing, which must be for two years, and it is the “use of an addictive drug by a person when using the drug becomes a controlling or dominant purpose of his life.” Q: What is meant by “natural impotency” as grounds for divorce? A: The impotency must have existed at the time of the marriage and must continue through the time of the divorce action. It also requires proof that the impotency is incurable. It has nothing to do with the ability to have children. Q: Are grounds for legal separation different than grounds for divorce? A: Yes, although there are some similarities. First, for legal separation, the couple must actually be living in separate residences at the time the plaintiff ﬁles for legal separation. The statute states that the living apart must be “without fault on the part of the plaintiff.” Courts have held, however, that the plaintiff need not be totally blameless. Q: How important is it to have strong grounds for divorce? A: Not very. Even if you do not want a divorce, you should accept the reality that after two years of living apart your spouse will be able to obtain a no fault divorce. Trials are rarely over grounds for divorce. The battles are over money and children.

Senate Dems move Obama picks By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press

AP file photo

House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., (left) and Senate Budget Committee Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., on Oct. 17 on Capitol Hill in Washington. Bipartisan budget negotiators are working toward a modest budget agreement to replace tens of billions of dollars in spending cuts this year and next with longer-term savings and revenue from increased fees.

Bipartisan negotiators seek a modest budget agreement The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Republican and Democratic negotiators reached out for a budget agreement Tuesday to reduce automatic spending cuts aimed at programs ranging from parks to the Pentagon, risking a backlash from liberals and conservatives, highlighting the difficulty of compromise within divided government. Officials said that under the emerging agreement, an estimated $65 billion in automatic spending cuts would be restored through the end of the next budget year, which runs to Sept. 30, 2015. The increases would be offset by a variety of spending reductions and increased fees elsewhere in the budget totaling about $85 billion over a decade, enough for a largely symbolic $20 billion cut in the nation’s $17 trillion debt. Among them is a requirement for federal workers to

make larger contributions to their own pensions, as well as an increase in a federal security fee that would add $5 to the cost of a typical roundtrip flight. It appeared Democrats would fail in their bid to include an extension of benefits for workers unemployed longer than 26 weeks. The program expires Dec. 28, when payments will be cut off for an estimated 1.3 million individuals. With Congress eager to adjourn for the year, there were expressions of optimism that an agreement might be near. “We’re not there yet but we are working out details and I’m hopeful,” Sen. Patty Murray told reporters at midday as she walked into a meeting with fellow Senate Democrats. Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, Murray’s counterpart in secretive talks, also indicated a deal might be imminent.

The officials who described the deal under discussion did so on the condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to speak on the record. The same was not true of conservative organizations, which attacked the proposal as a betrayal of a hard-won 2011 agreement that reduced government spending and is counted as among the main accomplishments of tea party-aligned Republicans who came to power earlier the same year in the House. Americans for Prosperity issued a midmorning statement saying that GOP lawmakers should uphold current spending levels. Otherwise, the group said, “congressional Republicans are joining liberal Democrats in breaking their word to the American people to finally begin reining in government overspending that has left us over $17 trillion in debt.”

Are You Looking For A New You In 2014? Black Friday Special

WASHINGTON – For the first time since they weakened the age-old filibuster, Democrats pushed one of President Barack Obama’s high-profile nominees through the Senate on Tuesday and cleared the way for another. By a vote of 56-38, senators confirmed attorney Patricia Millett to join the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Millett’s approval tilts that circuit’s judges 5-4 toward those appointed by Democratic presidents, an important advantage for a court that rules on White House and federal agency actions. The Senate then voted 5740 to end Republican delaying tactics that for months have blocked a vote on Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., who Obama wants to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Fi-

nal approval of Watt was expected quickly so he can head the bureau that oversees the two giant taxpayer-owned home lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The votes came nearly three weeks after Democrats overpowered Republicans and made it harder for the Senate minority party – currently the GOP – to use filibusters, or procedural delays, to block nominations. Filibusters for nearly all nominations, but not legislation, can be ended by a simple majority vote instead of the 60 required since 1975. For decades before that, an even bigger margin, two-thirds, was needed to halt the delays. Democrats and their allies hailed Tuesday’s votes as a triumph, with more to come. “The minority caucus has dedicated the last five years to paralyzing the Senate,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., among a cadre of newer Dem-

ocratic senators who helped push party leaders to change filibusters. “Today I saw as a good sign.” Fix the Senate Now, a coalition of labor and liberal groups, called Millett’s approval “a major breakthrough” but added, “it is only through the lens of the dysfunctional Senate norms of recent years that Patricia Millett’s confirmation qualifies as a significant step forward for the U.S. Senate.” In retaliation for the filibuster changes, Republicans used the Senate’s own procedures Tuesday to slow its work, and said they would continue doing so. They forced three procedural votes before Watt’s nomination could be pushed ahead. They also blocked permission – usually granted routinely – for a pair of committees to meet for more than two hours while the Senate was in session.

In the past six months, MCCF developed the concept of this program in collaboration with Veterans and Veteran services providers countywide.

Take the Guesswork Out of Your Charitable Giving Over the next few weeks the average American household will receive requests for gifts from nearly 50 different organizations. Some of these organizations you will know well, others you will have never heard of before. But with fewer extra dollars to spend these days, how can you be sure that your money goes where it is needed most? The McHenry County Community Foundation is your local support for these decisions. We can help take the guesswork out of your charitable giving. Over the past year we have provided $750,000 in grants and scholarships to more than 70 nonprofit agencies and individuals across McHenry County. It is our job to understand how these agencies work, and to be able to communicate that information to you, the donor. People just like you depend upon our expertise everyday to help them make wise giving decisions. Perhaps you want help in directing your year-end gifts. Or, perhaps you are interested in setting up a personal fund that can generate gifts long after you are gone. Call Meg LaMonica at 815-338-4483 today to learn more about how the McHenry County Community Foundation can help you take the guesswork out of giving.

PERT Challenge Makes NOW the Perfect Time to consider a Planned Gift! The McHenry County Community Foundation has been presented with an incredible challenge grant opportunity for the 2013 calendar year. For each Planned Gift Commitment we secure during the 2013 calendar year – regardless of the amount of the Planned Gift – The PERT Foundation will award us $25,000 toward our unrestricted Fund. This means that we are building strength and stability for the future of McHenry County through the commitments of these planned gifts, while at the same time growing the number of unrestricted grants the Foundation can distribute today. Everyone in McHenry County is a winner! HOW can I make a Planned Gift? – You can put your checkbook away! There are many ways to support the work of our nonprofit community across McHenry County besides writing a check. With a little planning, you can include a gift to The McHenry County Community Foundation within your overall estate or financial plans. These gifts will ensure services and programs for our neighbors and friends and provide you with tax benefits in return. These types of donations are often referred to as planned gifts because they require some planning and often help from your professional advisors. Planned gifts can be made now to immediately support the needs of various nonprofit agencies or programs, or they can be enacted upon your death as a final way to leave your legacy.

Anyone can make a planned gift. Consider these popular options:

“The short version of what we heard was that our Veterans were not only getting bad and/or incomplete information, but also incorrect resource information,” said Robin Doeden, executive director of The Foundation. “All too often our veterans would be passed from one person to another before eventually getting in touch with the correct person. The system is complicated, confusing and frustrating, and veterans who really need and deserve help simply give up.

with information they need to answer questions and direct their fellow Veterans to the help they need.” The kick-off of the program gave volunteer mentors a two-hour overview of the subject areas. Following up on that initial training, a more in-depth training on housing and healthcare was provided in November. In the coming months, Ruffner and Iwanicki will lead additional training sessions to provide more in-depth information on various topics. “In 2012, 2/3 of the suicides in McHenry County were Veterans,” said Ruffner. “As we enter the toughest time of year, we hope to keep that from happening again.

“The goal of this program is not to create crisis counselors, but to prepare a team of knowledgeable people that our veterans can depend on to provide “We got the idea for a one-on-one good resource information. If we mentoring ‘army’ from a program in Naperville called ‘Welcome Wagon’ and can let our fellow Veterans know that a few of us decided we could tweak it to we care and we want to help them, make it work here,” continued Doeden. hopefully we can get more of them into the system early and in the right spot, and alleviate the frustration In recent months, Michael Ruffner, Veteran Employment Representative for that causes so many to drop out,” he the Illinois Department of Employment continued.

Make The Foundation a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. This gift does not require an attorney, and can be done by simply naming The McHenry County Community Foundation on the beneficiary designation for a percentage (1% -100%) of your account’s final value.

Remember The Foundation in your will. Known as a bequest, this form of giving is accomplished by working with your attorney to include a few simple sentences, called bequest language, in your will or living trust. Because this gift doesn’t go into effect until your death, you can change your mind at any time.

Legacy Society We are grateful to the PERT Foundation for offering us this tremendous challenge opportunity, and we are equally grateful to the individuals who have accepted the challenge and joined The Legacy Society already this year. This special Society provides a way for us to recognize individuals who have remembered the McHenry County Community Foundation with a planned gift. This group of people understands and supports the work that we are doing in the community each and every day, and they have made a commitment to help ensure that that work does not stop.

A gift of your retirement plan assets. Did you know that your family may have to pay taxes on retirement assets left to them after your death of 50 to 60%? This makes retirement assets one of the most costly assets to distribute to loved ones. If charitable giving has been an important part of your life, that giving doesn’t have to stop when you die. Consider leaving retirement assets to charity, and remembering your loved ones with non-retirement assets.

DuBose Helps County Children Dr. Lawrence DuBose has dedicated his life to helping people. Whether serving his country in the Army for four years, educating the public about his passion – bees, or generously supporting those in need, Dr. DuBose is here to serve. This summer, Dr. DuBose decided he wanted to help the children of McHenry County, so he enlisted the help of the McHenry County Community Foundation. The Foundation was able to help him direct two $10,000 grants to agencies he was unfamiliar with –Garden Quarter After School Program, in McHenry; and Hearthstone Early Learning Center’s Voices of Veteran’s Program. In September, families and children from Garden Quarter visited Dr. DuBose at his Bee House at Klein Creek Farm, in West Chicago, to meet him and thank him for his kind gift. The children also got the opportunity to learn more about bees and their importance to us and our food chain. During this school year, children from Hearthstone’s Early Learning Center will interview Dr. DuBose about his time and experiences in the service, and write a book about his life. DuBose served his country in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1946. He was shot in 1945 while on combat duty in France and spent the balance of the year recovering.

A resident of McHenry County for 16 years, LaMonica currently resides in Crystal Lake with her two children. She is looking forward to working closely with The Foundation’s Executive Director, Robin Doeden.

Kerry, Congress spar over nuclear deal By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Obama administration and Congress clashed Tuesday over the historic nuclear deal with Iran, exposing deep rifts over a U.S. pledge to refrain from any new sanctions over the next six months in exchange for concessions on enriching uranium. The disagreement could have broad consequences for the U.S. diplomatic effort to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. In his first congressional testimony since last month’s Geneva agreement, Secretary of State John Kerry defended

Probe on course for comet landing By FRANK JORDANS The Associated Press BERLIN – It’s been likened to a parachutist trying to land on a mountaintop. Or a person attempting to leap from one speeding car to another. The European Space Agency is planning to land an unmanned spacecraft on a comet next year in an unprecedented and exquisitely tricky mission that has been underway for almost a decade and is about to enter a critical new phase. The agency announced Tuesday that its Rosetta probe, which has been journeying through space since its launch in 2004, will be awakened from hibernation next month and will aim to drop a lander onto the icy surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Nov. 11, 2014. The plan is different from NASA’s Deep Impact mission, which used a probe to fire a projectile into a comet in 2005 and create a plume of matter for scientists to study. That was just a drive-by compared with the rendezvous the Europeans are planning. Scientists hope that by flying Rosetta alongside the comet and sending down a barrel-size lander to collect and analyze samples, they will get an even better idea of what comets are made of and what role they played in the formation of our solar system. “Nobody has ever done this before,” said Paolo Ferri, head of mission operations at the European Space Agency. Ferri noted that while NASA managed to land a probe on an asteroid in 2001, comets are much more volatile places because they constantly release dust and gas that can harm a spacecraft. A comet is essentially a dirty snowball; an asteroid is a rock. To catch 67P as it orbits the sun at up to 62,000 mph, Rosetta has made several fly-bys of Earth, Mars and the sun, using their gravity to accelerate. Once the spacecraft picked up sufficient speed and was on course to rendezvous with the comet, ESA put Rosetta into hibernation for more than two years to conserve energy. This also gave engineers the time to find workarounds for two glitches that threatened the mission: a problem with two of the four reaction wheels used to turn the spacecraft, and a small helium leak that could affect the thrusters vital for its final maneuvers. For now, scientists have a tense wait to see whether the probe wakes up as planned when its alarm clock goes off Jan. 20. The spacecraft will be about 500 million miles from Earth at the time, and signals will take 45 minutes to travel each way. If all goes according to plan, Rosetta will begin searching for 67P – a lump of rock and ice about 2.5 miles in diameter that is invisible to the naked eye.

the diplomacy as having halted and rolled back central elements of Iran’s nuclear program for the first time. He pleaded with Democrats and Republicans alike not to scuttle the chances of a peaceful resolution to a crisis that regularly has featured U.S. and Israeli threats of potential military action. “Let me be very clear: This is a very delicate diplomatic moment and we have a chance to address peacefully one of the most pressing national security concerns that the world faces today,” Kerry told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “We’re at a crossroads. We’re at one of those really hinge points in

history. One path could lead to an enduring resolution in the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. “The other path could lead to continued hostility and potentially to conflict.” Kerry’s appearance came John Kerry as lawmakers Secretary increasingly of State threatened to undermine the six-month interim pact, which gives Iran $7 billion in sanctions relief over the next half-year in exchange for the Islamic republic’s neutralizing its high-

er-enriched uranium stockpiles, not adding any new centrifuges and ceasing work at a heavy water reactor that potentially could produce plutonium used in nuclear weapons. Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill., are close to completing a bill that would require the administration to certify every 30 days Iran’s adherence to the interim pact, according to legislative aides. Without that certification, the legislation would re-impose all sanctions and introduce new restrictions on Iran’s engineering, mining and construction industries. The legislation also calls for

a global boycott of Iranian oil by 2015 if Iran fails to live up to the interim agreement. Foreign companies and banks violating the bans would be barred from doing business in the United States. However, Iran sanctions were left off a defense bill working its way through the Senate this week – much to the dismay of Republicans. “This is a rather transparent attempt to prevent a vote on enhanced Iran sanctions, so they’re trying to circumvent the Senate, pass major legislation, essentially without amendments,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters.

French troops die disarming rebels The ASSOCIATED PRESS BANGUI, Central African Republic – Gunmen fatally shot two French soldiers in Central African Republic’s volatile capital, officials said Tuesday, underscoring the enormous challenges of a new French military intervention in its former colony that includes disarming thousands of rebels accused of attacking civilians. President Michel Djotodia condemned the attack on the French forces and blamed former leader Francois Bozize, whom he ousted from power in March, for creating the turmoil now being unleashed on the streets of Bangui. More than 500 people have been killed in the capital since Thursday and some 100,000 forced from their homes, aid officials say. The deaths of the French soldiers came as French President Francois Hollande paid a visit to Central African Republic on Tuesday night, heading into the tumultuous capital after attending a memorial in South Africa for Nelson Mandela. Speaking in a huge airport hangar, Hollande told French troops their comrades died “for a noble and beautiful mission. They gave their lives to save others.”

Two French soldiers were killed in combat overnight since France stepped up its presence to restive the former French colony to help quell inter-religious violence. The early French casualties underscore the volatility of the mission to disarm combatants and bring stability to a largely anarchic capital. A mob on Monday stoned to death a suspected enemy in the street, and armed fighters have abducted and killed hospital patients. Tensions flared again Tuesday as a mob of young

men set fire to a mosque in the Fou neighborhood of Bangui. Smoke billowed from smoldering vehicles nearby, and young men used pick axes and whatever tools they found to try to tear down the walls of the mosque. Elsewhere, citizens killed three suspected ex-rebels in the Miskine neighborhood of Bangui after the men appar-

ently fired weapons at civilians, residents said. The president of Central African Republic said Tuesday that former leader Bozize and his supporters had set the stage for the crisis months ago. “The current situation is the logical result of what former President Bozize set in motion by freeing prisoners and bandits, distributing weapons of war and machetes in the neighborhoods of Bangui, and inciting tribalism and religious hatred,” Djotodia said Tuesday. Bozize was overthrown after a decade in power and his current whereabouts are unknown. The former president maintains it was the arrival of thousands of rebels who descended upon the capital with arms who created the chaos. The government of Central African Republic, a predominantly Christian country, was overthrown in March by Muslim rebels from the country’s north. Although the rebels claimed no religious motive for seizing power, months of resentment and hostility erupted last week in a wave of violence that left more than 500 people dead. The local Red Cross said Tuesday its toll alone had grown from 394 to 461.

Hepatitis C outbreak prevention underway By HOLLY RAMER The Associated Press CONCORD, N.H. – David Kwiatkowski’s six-month stint at the Baltimore Veterans Affairs medical center was about to end in 2008 when a doctor proposed extending the traveling technician’s contract. Don’t do it, one nurse warned. “If you keep him, we’re going to management, the police, and outside the VA, because you would be putting our licenses in jeopardy,” the nurse, Ron Warnick, said amid suspicions that Kwiatkowski was tampering with medications, according to recently released court documents. Kwiatkowski’s contract wasn’t extended, but he went on to work in nine more hospitals in five states, stealing drugs and infecting patients with hepatitis C through tainted syringes along the way. The criminal case against him ended last week when he was sentenced to 39 years in prison for 16 federal drug convictions in New Hampshire. Now the push is for hospitals, state lawmakers and federal officials to fix the problems his prosecution revealed. Kwiatkowski’s “trail of infection” helped unmask a problem that was a growing concern for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and across the public health system, said Joseph Perz, who specializes in injection safety and infection control at the CDC. “If there is a silver lining, it is that we’re seeing some movement toward broader prevention, and that’s a very good thing,” he said. Medical technicians aren’t as closely regulated as doctors or nurses, and there is no nationwide database of misconduct or disciplinary actions against them, as there is for physicians.

Crystal Lake designates tax money toward measures to draw retail in • SALES Continued from page A1 – no small piece of the yearly retail and sales tax pie. Between 20 and 40 percent of yearly sales of small and midsized retailers take place within the last two months of the year, according to the National Retail Federation. “We want to make sure that people are choosing Woodstock first,” said Cort Carlson, the city’s director of community and economic development. “Especially our local residents.” Business owners and community leaders go about reaching that goal in varying ways. In Woodstock, the city supports merchants with several events throughout the holiday season. A lighting ceremony, a kids day and a Santa parade, among other events, help bring people to the Square, where crowds drive sales. “You don’t have a lot of cost behind them on any level,” Carlson said. “The city’s cost comes in just the maintaining of the Square and providing, hopefully, a positive environment for the stores to thrive and be successful.” Crystal Lake has designated tax money directly toward measures to draw retail in during the holidays. During the worst of the economic slump, the city designated about $100,000 toward rebates for local consumers through its Shop Crystal Lake program.

The city since has reduced funds to the program. This year, it has budgeted $7,500 toward prizes for the holiday program. Those who spend $200 in town can enter to win gift certificates ranging from $50 to $1,000. With so many cities bunched together in McHenry County, the program gives shoppers an incentive to choose Crystal Lake, Richter said. The city usually gets about 5,000 entries. “It’s been incredibly successful,” he said. As for the push and pull going on among McHenry County businesses, Huntley Chamber of Commerce Chief Rita Slawek said there’s been

a recent move toward marketing gifts of “necessity.” Companies like mechanic shops and hair salons are encouraging their customers to buy gift cards for those on their lists. “That’s going to be something that someone is spending their money on anyway,” Slawek said. Other companies offer deals such as getting a free gift card with the purchase of four others, she said. According to a survey by American Express and the National Federation of Independent Business, local shops are off to a strong start this holiday season. Locally owned stores brought in $5.5 billion in sales on Small Business Saturday, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the survey found. If downtown Crystal Lake was any indication, local people took the day seriously, McCall said. “We had a really good day,” she said.

• OFFICE DEPOT

“Given where Illinois is today, and given that this whole business of firm-specific tax breaks is a race to the bottom, it’s not a bad play to say that maybe it’s not always right for Illinois to give these tax breaks.”

Continued from page A1 Office Depot doesn’t yet have a timeline for moving its operations in Naperville and other headquarters staff in Itasca to Boca Raton, Denning said. The company has an existing incentives package from the state of Florida but officials there have not commented on any potential new tax breaks or other perks. Dave Roeder, a spokesman for Illinois’ Department of Economic Opportunity, said the agency offered to work with the company on incentives that didn’t require lawmakers’ approval, but “the company did not pursue those options with us.” The Senate passed bills last week that would have provided $53 million in incentives for Office Depot, $30 million in tax breaks for Decatur-based ADM as it considers Chicago and other locations outside Illinois and another $5 million for Washington-based chemical distributor Univar if it moves to Illinois. But the House never acted on those

Therese McGuire Professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management bills. Even with reform legislation aimed at the state’s $100 billion pension shortfall that was passed and signed into law last week, the state still has major financial problems, said Therese McGuire, professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Tax-break deals made under pressure from individual companies look “desperate,” she said. “Given where Illinois is

today, and given that this whole business of firm-specific tax breaks is a race to the bottom, it’s not a bad play to say that maybe it’s not always right for Illinois to give these tax breaks.” Illinois over the past few years has been a target for other states looking to poach companies and, in some cases, agreed to high-dollar deals to keep firms such as Sears Holdings Corporation in place. State Sen. Bill Brady, a Republican running for governor, on Tuesday called on Quinn to quickly bring lawmakers back to Springfield for a vote on ADM’s tax breaks. “We have to do what we can to keep job creators in the state of Illinois,” Brady said in a news release. “The Senate did its job and passed incentives for Office Depot Inc. and ADM. The House adjourned without taking up either measure and now we’ve lost out on the jobs that would be created by having a major corporate headquarters in our state.” ADM spokeswoman Jackie Anderson would only say the company expects to make a decision on a new headquarters soon.

6-year-old suspended for kissing girl at school

State senator: ‘We have to do what we can to keep job creators in the state of Illinois’

Happy Holidays from all of us at Richmond Motor Sales

8NATION BRIEF DENVER – The suspension of a 6-year-old boy for kissing a girl at school is raising questions about whether the peck should be considered sexual harassment. The boy’s mother said officials at Lincoln School of Science and Technology in Canon City, a southern Colorado city of 16,000, are over-reacting. Jennifer Saunders said her son was suspended once before for kissing the girl and had other disciplinary problems, and she was surprised to find out that he would be forced out of school again for several days. First-grader Hunter Yelton told KRDO-TV that he has a crush on a girl at school and she likes him back. “It was during class, yeah. We were doing reading group, and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That’s what happened,” he said. Saunders said she saw nothing wrong with her son’s display of affection. She said she punished him for other problems in school, including rough-housing. She was shocked when the school’s principal brought up the term “sexual harassment.” “This is taking it to extreme that doesn’t need to be met with a 6-year-old,” she said.

8WORLD BRIEFS Egypt’s Moussa defends draft charter CAIRO – The chairman of a panel that wrote Egypt’s draft constitution defended the document Tuesday as guaranteeing democracy and freedoms, but he offered cautious criticism of a recent law restricting street protests. Amr Moussa, a former longtime Arab League chief and Egyptian foreign minister, spoke with The Associated Press as university students fought pitched street battles with police elsewhere in Cairo. Protesters demanding the reinstatement of Egypt’s ousted president pelted security forces with rocks through white clouds of tear gas, rushing their wounded back inside the campus. But Moussa was optimistic about the country’s future. “This is a constitution that answers to the requirements of the 21st century,” he said. “The constitution is very clear on democracy and freedoms.”

Gunmen abduct Syria’s human rights lawyer NABEK, Syria – Masked gunmen abducted a leading Syrian human rights lawyer and three other prominent activists in a rebel-held Damascus suburb Tuesday in a new sign that al-Qaida linked militants who have joined the fight against President Bashar Assad are trying to silence rivals in the opposition movement. Razan Zaytouni, one of the most outspoken critics of President Bashar Assad as well as Islamic militants who have gained increasing sway over the fight to oust the government, was seized along with her husband and two other colleagues from her office in Douma. No group claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, but Zaytouni herself had publicly

blamed al-Qaida linked rebels for kidnapping activists and colleagues said she had received indirect threats from extremists in recent days. With just about a month to go before the start of internationally brokered peace talks to end the civil war, Assad’s forces have stepped up a punishing offensive against rebels in a mountainous region near the border with Lebanon.

herma Tru Doors On Sale Now!

Thai democracy enters new crossroads BANGKOK – Protesters waging a surreal political fight to oust Thailand’s elected prime minister are trying to establish what amounts to a parallel government – one complete with “volunteer peacekeepers” to replace the police, a foreign policy of their own and a central committee that has already begun issuing audacious orders. Among the most brazen Tuesday: a demand that caretaker premier Yingluck Shinawatra be prosecuted for “insurrection,” and another calling on the public to “monitor” her family’s movements. Leading academics have slammed the scheme as undemocratic and unconstitutional. Critics have called its leader, Suthep Thaugsuban, delusional. But the ex-lawmaker’s bid to seize power could become reality if the military or the judiciary intervenes, as they have in the past. Either way, analysts say this Southeast Asian nation is at a dangerous new crossroads that could drag on, and end with more bloodshed. “This is a combustible situation. We cannot have two governments in Bangkok running Thailand,” said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of Chulalongkorn’s Institute of Security and International Studies. “Something will have to give.”

An amicable breakup In 2010, Gov. Pat Quinn desperately needed a respectable running mate on the Democratic ticket, after primary voters saddled him with Scott Lee Cohen, a little-known Chicago pawnbroker. Cohen stepped aside after embarrassing facts about his past came to light. Quinn found one in Sheila Simon, a law professor at Southern Illinois University and the daughter of the late U.S. Sen. Paul Simon, a popular, longtime politician. In a close race, the Quinn-Simon ticket prevailed. In harmony with her new boss, Simon settled in to focus on education, rural affairs, clean water, and other issues. That was then. Last Monday, Simon announced her disapproval of the pension reform package that Quinn championed – the first time to our knowledge that she has publicly disagreed with her boss on such a major issue. The bill “puts too much of the burden on lower income workers and retirees,” Simon said. Despite that, the Legislature approved the bill, and Quinn signed it into law Thursday. No mention was made of Simon’s dissenting views. After Simon announced in February that she would not run again for lieutenant governor with Quinn, their political breakup has been fairly low key. Simon pondered running for other statewide offices before setting her sights on comptroller. Quinn chose a new running mate, Paul Vallas, the former Chicago Public Schools CEO. But a political coolness had set in well before last week. We note that Simon’s name was mentioned in the governor’s online press releases 39 times between January and June, but only twice since then. Quinn knows something of the estrangement that can occur between a governor and lieutenant governor. As lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2009, Quinn openly feuded with his boss, ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who once angrily declared that Quinn was no longer part of his administration. As 2013 gives way to 2014, Illinoisans need their leaders to pull in the same direction as the state struggles with thorny financial problems, a slow economy, and a difficult recovery from November’s deadly tornado outbreak. We don’t expect Quinn and Simon to allow their relationship to deteriorate to the bitter level of the Blagojevich-Quinn era. In fact, from what we can tell, their split has been amicable. For the good of a troubled state, we hope it stays that way.

Negative example Illinois can’t file for bankruptcy protection, but it can learn valuable lessons from Detroit’s financial collapse. Detroit, once among the greatest of American cities and an industrial powerhouse, is eligible for bankruptcy protection, and municipal retirees living on pensions will be among the hardest hit by the city’s failure to meet its obligations. To the surprise of hardly anyone, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes ruled this week that Detroit can reorganize under federal bankruptcy laws, essentially clearing the deck of its debts and starting over. To the surprise of some and the dismay of many, Rhodes also ruled that the Michigan state constitution that guarantees public pension rights does not protect pensioners from reductions in payments.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Unfair to postal service To the Editor: Thank you to Tom Richards of Algonquin for your recent letter on the post office (“Full postal story,” Nov. 21). You had the most accurate information. There has been so much negativity lately for our postal employees and the services they give us. I have never mailed a letter or anything else that has not reached it’s destination very quickly. I live in Crystal Lake, and when I mail to Harvard, it gets there the next day. I will continue to use the post office, and get really angry when people call it snail mail. In this electronic age, people have gotten away from the personalization of sending actual cards and letters through the mail. I find that sad. The thing I find most sad is that our postal service would be a very solvent and viable organization if they were not being forced to fund 75 years of health-care benefits over a 10-year period. This is how politicians in bed with big business are trying to oust the postal service. No other organization has to meet this criteria, so why must the postal service? Why, I ask, why?

Exporting factories To the Editor: The business article in the Northwest Herald discussing the closing of the Thermtrol Plant in Cary (“Thermtrol Shuttered,” Sept. 6) made my blood run cold. Closing plants in our country, our state and our county and relocating them off shore to Mexico, India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. is the major reason that our middle class has been devastated. You do not need a crystal ball to understand that with the Thermtrol plant closing, 60 good-paying jobs have been permanently lost to our area. The factory will be shipped to Vietnam, where, according to the owner, “Vietnam brings to the table a well-educated and stable workforce with an incredible work ethic and is among the lowest labor cost centers in the world.” The media has reported that 42,000 factories have been closed, disassembled and sent overseas. Those 42,000 factories represent millions of our middle-class

workers, and we never will recover those jobs unless we have some type of protection for the workers of our country. We cannot compete with 15 cents an hour. Flipping burgers won’t make up the loss. I wonder if those who voted for the Fair Trade Act, both Democrats and Republicans, realized that we would be exporting factories and not finished products that were developed, created, and manufactured here in the good old USA. We need to be smarter. We need to protect ourselves. We need to decide how much we are willing to lose in order to maintain the Walmart way of life. Philip G. Lambruschi West Dundee

Shocking failure To the Editor: The Northwest Herald recently printed a letter from Crystal Lake resident Norman Jones (Nov. 22), who complained that state Rep. Jack Franks had failed to assist him with resolving a personal grievance against a former employer. That this letter was included in your

publication is a shocking failure of editorial due diligence. A cursory search shows that Mr. Jones has written at least three almost identical letters to the editor during recent years, similarly impugning other elected officials from McHenry County, and that every legal complaint filed by Mr. Jones against his former employers has been dismissed. Rep. Franks and Mr. Jones’ brother, former state Sen. Wendell Jones, have both publicly advised Mr. Jones that his grievances are of a personal nature. Additionally, given that he lives in Crystal Lake, Mr. Jones has never even been a constituent of Rep. Franks. Mr. Jones is obviously upset with the results, but his anger at Rep. Franks is clearly misplaced. The Northwest Herald’s editorial board did its readers a disservice by printing spurious, unfounded allegations written by a litigious, malcontented individual who is not even one of Franks’ constituents. Your readers deserve better. Tom Ganka Wonder Lake

Jailhouse visit with Mandela revealed 2 sides to revolutionary When John Lofton of The Washington Times and I were granted an interview with Nelson Mandela inside Pollsmoor Prison near Capetown, South Africa, in August 1985, it was a rare occurrence, personally approved by then-South African President P.W. Botha over the objections of his foreign minister. Mandela gave us a tour of the prison. The guards, apparently, allowed him to roam almost at will. He showed us a small garden he tended of which he seemed proud. The first thing we noticed about him was his gentle spirit. Whether this was the result of more than two decades in prison that had robbed him of the fire that raged in his revolutionary belly as a younger man, I could not say. When we sat down in a sparse room to interview him, guards would not allow any recording, only handwritten notes. The Mandela celebrated by world leaders after his death was not

the Mandela we interviewed. He received a life sentence in 1964 for attempting to sabotage the apartheid government, but had been offered his freedom several times. He only had to promise not to engage in any more violence. Mandela told us, however, that if he were released from prison he would be back “in a day,” because he saw “no alternative” to violent revolution to end apartheid. There’s no room for “peaceful struggle,” said the man who would upon his release engage in peaceful struggle that would result in his becoming the first black South African president. Strangely, he asked if I knew Sen. Edward Kennedy. I said I did. Perhaps he assumed that made me a political ally. Mandela denied he was a communist. The Daily Telegraph in London, however, reported in 2012 that Professor Stephen Ellis, a British historian, found “new evidence”

VIEWS Cal Thomas proving that during Mandela’s early activist years he held a “senior rank in the South African Communist Party, or SACP. ... to enlist the help of the communist superpowers for the ANC’s campaign of armed resistance to white rule.” Mandela told us communism is “better” than apartheid because communism has no color bar and gives “equal opportunity to everybody.” Under communism, he said, “everybody would be living better.” Not exactly. In an address only days before our visit, President Botha told an audience in Durban, South Africa, about a court document in Mandela’s handwriting which read, “We Communist Party members are the

most advanced revolutionaries in modern history ... the enemy must be completely crushed and wiped out from the face of the earth before a communist world can be realized.” When asked about this, Mandela admitted writing those words, but claimed they had been taken “out of context.” He denied in court that he was a communist. Since the end of apartheid in 1994, some violent crimes, such as murder and armed robbery, have declined, but according to Young People in International Affairs, an organization that helps African youth interested in international affairs, South Africa, dubbed in various media reports as “the rape capital of the world,” estimates that 360 women are raped every day. Unemployment is high (25.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012), according to Civitas: The Institute for the Study of Civil Society, and economic growth has been sluggish.

The post-apartheid record in South Africa is mixed. Many violent revolutionaries became peacemakers once their oppressors were removed from power. Whether Mandela experienced a “conversion” after we met him, or simply adapted a more pragmatic path to his goals, I cannot say. Let us charitably assume the best about a man revered by many who ended an evil and gave his country an opportunity to build something better. In this quest, Mandela worked with Botha’s successor, President F.W. de Klerk, who reciprocated the graciousness Mandela had extended to him. In a statement after Mandela’s death, de Klerk said South Africa had lost one of its founding fathers and “greatest sons.” No person could ask for higher praise or a better epitaph.

8COMMUNITY NEWS

MAN CHARGED IN CARY ROBBERY CARY – An Elgin man has been charged with robbing a Subway restaurant, Cary police said in a news release. Rodney W. Boyette, 50, went into the Cary Subway on Nov. 5 and indicated he had a weapon, the police department said. He then left Rodney W. the store after Boyette the cashier gave him an undisclosed amount of money. Police later interviewed Boyette after he was charged with a robbery at a Subway in Carpentersville. Boyette was charged with one count of aggravated robbery in the Cary case. The police department obtained a warrant for his arrest Friday, according to the news release. His bond was set at $60,000, and he is being held at the Kane County Adult Justice Center, the news release said.

Clarity on gun rules sought Guidelines limiting county employees’ right to carry under review By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County Board committee wants to make sure proposed guidelines limiting county employees’ right to concealed carry would not run afoul of the new law.

The Management Ser vices Committee on Monday deferred a recommendation on the new guidelines until the state’s attorney’s office can clarify rules forbidding employees from using their personal vehicles to perform official duties if a handgun is stored within.

Committee Vice Chairman John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, said some members had concerns that employees who kept their weapons in their locked cars, which is legal under the new law, could get into trouble if unexpectedly asked to drive somewhere as part of their job.

In the wake of concealed carry taking effect in the coming months, the County Board wants to set down rules forbidding employees who are not law enforcement from carrying handguns during their official duties.

Decision to demolish mill draws ire Huntley historians critical of move By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Village officials and local historians will work together to preserve original items such as grain bins and structural beams that still are inside a former 19th century mill recently slated to be demolished. Relations between the two parties are rocky, however, after the Village Board decided last week to raze the former Sawyer-Kelley mill

in downtown Huntley and build a $1.01 million commercial space in its place. The move has left the leader of a Huntley historical panel disappointed and concerned that the village’s priorities for revitalizing downtown Huntley don’t include historic preservation. “It’s the last mill in Huntley,” said Donna Britton, chairwoman of the Historic Preservation Commission. “Our village was founded

HARVARD – In response to community concerns, Harvard officials have decided to put on hold indefinitely an idea to enact a new zoning option aimed at curtailing crime by discouraging renters. The city was considering giving residents the option to declare Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts, a distinction that would mean owners of single-family houses in the district wouldn’t be allowed to change their residences to duplexes or rentals. But city residents responded unfavorably to the idea, City Administrator Dave Nelson said. “It got extremely political, so we’re going to set it aside at the moment,” Nelson said. “If it comes back up, it comes back up.” Commenters on a Northwest Herald story about the measure in October called it discriminatory. Nelson said residents called it heavy handed and voiced concerns about overregulation. “That certainly wasn’t our intent,” he said. The city instead will focus its efforts on a “chronic nuisance” measure, under which landlords or tenants could be stuck with penalties if police repeatedly respond to the same address. The Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts option and chronic nuisance ordinance sprung up in response to concerns after a string of

Bond sale yields more savings District 26 says it will save over $493K in interest By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – The planned bond sale by District 26 went better than expected. On Dec. 3, the district had a bond sale as it refinanced $5.54 million in bonds. The move originally was estimated to save the district $487,000 in interest costs over the life of the bonds, which are scheduled to be paid back by 2019. Af-

ter the sale of the bonds, the interest savings is almost $493,600, according to district documents. According to district officials, the district’s recent bond rating upgrade helped it receive better interest rates, which helped save the district a little more money than projected. To help the deal go through, the district also anticipated it would have to inject $240,000 at the close of the bond sale. That amount was reduced to $155,000, Director of Finance and Operations Jeffrey Schubert said Monday when discussing the bond sale at a finance com-

mittee meeting. The refinancing was part of the district’s efforts to keep its pledge it made in 2010 as part of the bond referendum that had passed. Officials had pledged to have a roughly $20 annual increase over four years in property tax bills for the average house that was worth $300,000 in 2010. Earlier this month, the district received an AA bond rating from Standard and Poor’s. That rating is up from the district’s A2 rating with a negative outlook Moody’s gave to the district in 2010.

WOODSTOCK: HARVARD MAN ON TRIAL

WOODSTOCK: HOSPITAL PLANS SOME CHANGES

Facebook post’s authorship at issue in sex assault case

Centegra to shift birth services

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Prosecutors told a McHenry County judge on Tuesday that a Facebook admission about a sexual assault on a young child was not made by the girl’s father. Defense attorneys for Isaias L. Hernandez-Bautista were seeking to introduce the post at trial as evidence that the girl’s father – who is not the defendant – admitted to molesting the girl. A McHenry County Sheriff’s Office investigation revealed the post was in fact written by another person. Hernandez-Bautista, 50, of Harvard, faces more than 20 years in prison on allegations that he had sex with the girl, who was under 13 years old at the time. She was not related to Hernandez-Bautista but was otherwise known to him. He was charged in March 2012 and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. A trial date is set for Jan. 21.

Prosecutors have maintained that the girl’s father had his Facebook account hacked. Assistant State’s Attorney Kate Lenhard told Judge Sharon Prather that a third person admitted to making the post, and that she would proIsaias L. vide the court Hernandezwith a signed Bautista confession from the person responsible. Attorneys on both sides declined to discuss specifics of the Facebook message or who wrote it. The state reopened an offer tendered to Hernandez-Bautista – three years in prison on a Class 2 felony. Lenhard said in court she believes Hernandez-Bautista will reject the offer. His attorney, George Kililis, wouldn’t comment publicly on the ongoing negotiations. Hernandez-Bautista’s next court date is Dec. 19.

The stepped up enforcement, which will run Dec. 20 though Jan. 5, is being paid for using federal traffic safety funds funneled through the Illinois Department of Transportation, according to a news release. Officers also will be on the lookout for those not wearing a seat belt, which is required for drivers as well as front and backseat passengers. The campaign also will be supported by national and state advertising.

Defenders plan recycling drive in Woodstock WOODSTOCK – Community members can bring unwanted electronics, batteries and other items to the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County’s recycling collection this week. The organization collects

items that don’t get picked up by curbside programs during the drive, which will be from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday in the Farm Bureau parking lot, 1102 McConnell Road, Woodstock. Fluorescent tubes, Styrofoam and various kinds of batteries and electronics are accepted, in addition to packing peanuts and unpopped bubble wrap, according to a release from the Defenders. Some items, such as TVs and computer monitors, require a donation because of recycling fees. The Defenders hold recycling drives on the second Saturday of each month, alternating between sites in McHenry and Woodstock. They also have free electronics drop-off sites in Crystal Lake and Lakewood. For information about the schedule, drop-off locations or accepted materials, visit www. mcdef.org/recycling_information.htm or facebook.com/ EnvironmentalDefenders, or call 815-338-0393.

City wants to hold landlords responsible for tenant actions • HARVARD Continued from page B1 crimes earlier this year. Three shootings occurred within a month during the spring. In July, the city was the scene of a murder-suicide. Officials hope a chronic nuisance measure, which could hit the ordinance committee in early January, would allow the city to hold landlords accountable if their tenants are repeatedly causing problems. Although, Nelson noted, the ordinance would take into account extenuating circumstances, such as a case where a landlord has tried unsuccessfully to evict a tenant, he

said. Tenants also could be charged under the law. “The idea is to be able to forge a working relationship with the landlords to try to address our common problems,” Nelson said. If passed, the chronic nuisance measure wouldn’t necessarily close the door to installing an Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts option. Although Alderman Mike Clarke said he wants to bear in mind the community’s thoughts on anything it puts in place, he wouldn’t be opposed to reopening a discussion on the zoning distinction. “In the future, I would consider it,” Clarke said.

Will have obstetric care in McHenry to give behavioral health more room By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Childbirth services in the Centegra Health System will be consolidated at its McHenry hospital to make room for expanded in-patient behavioral and mental health care. By moving behavioral health care from its current location at Centegra Specialty Hospital – Woodstock on West South Street to where the obstetric unit is currently located in the hospital at Route 14 and Doty Road, Cen-

tegra will be able to increase its bed capacity to 34 from 24. Other providers have closed their behavioral health care centers, and there is a growing need in the area for those services, said Jason Sciarro, Centegra’s president and chief operating officer. The expanded hospital setting will allow Centegra to segregate patients based on the level of care required and will allow for quick access to other medical care, Sciarro said. To make room for the

Team donates 2,000 pounds of food By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com CARY – Members of the Cary-Grove High School boys basketball team donated about 2,000 pounds of food to the Cary-Grove Food Pantry last weekend, the biggest donation the pantry has received this month. On Saturday, more than 40 Cary-Grove basketball players – from freshmen to seniors – collected two truckloads of food and a “couple hundred” dollars in monetary donations, said Melody Stanko, Cary-Grove Food Pantry board president. “I was impressed to see we have a great community of high school kids,” Stanko said. “They did a great thing.” Stanko said that although the donation was the biggest the pantry has received this holiday season, it will likely provide just a week’s worth of food to the more than 60 people who will visit the pantry this week. “It goes out quite quickly,” Stanko said. “But that’s a good thing. Having a week of

Barr said in a news release that he hopes to continue the collection again next year. “I’d heard of other high school basketball teams

coming together to do something for their communities and wanted to start our own tradition. … It was a great team-builder and it felt good to do something for the community,” Barr said. “Next year I hope we’ll collect even more.” The Cary-Grove Food Pantry still is in need of dona-

tions, particularly after the holiday season, Stanko said. “We are always in need because we don’t close in December,” she said. “January comes around and people are finished with their giving. But it’s a good thing we get food in December. It will keep food on our shelves into next year.”

Rules would bar county workers from carrying at work • GUN RULES Continued from page B1 Under the proposed rules, county employees and volunteers won’t be able to carry while on the clock, store their weapons in county-owned vehicles or use their private vehicles for county business if they contain firearms. The concealed-carry law forbids carrying a concealed weapon into government buildings, but they can be stored in a locked car. The

IS GRANDMA COMING FOR THE HOLIDAYS?

law forbids local governments from enacting their own additional restrictions. The Illinois State Police will start to accept applications for concealed-carry permits Jan. 5. State lawmakers earlier this year hashed out rules for carrying a concealed weapon in the wake of a 2012 federal appeals court ruling that struck down Illinois’ ban on concealed carry. Illinois was the last state that did not allow citizens some form of it. The law allows Illinois res-

idents to obtain a five-year concealed-carry permit for a $150 fee after completing a 16-hour training course, the longest of any state. Nonresidents must pay a $300 fee for a permit. Illinois does not recognize concealed-carry permits from other states, although the new law allows nonresidents passing through to keep their weapons in their cars if they possess them legally. Besides government facilities and courthouses, carrying is forbidden in parks

and at festivals, mass transit, schools and colleges, hospitals, stadiums, bars and dining establishments that make more than half of their revenue from alcohol sales. Business owners can ban concealed weapons from their properties, but must place a sign designed by the state police at the entrance. However, the law allows people to store their weapons in their locked vehicles in parking lots where carrying is banned by law or by the establishment owner.

If the review process proceeds as planned, the obstetric consolidation will occur around July 2014, with changes to the behavioral health care services to wrap up around January 2015, Centegra does not expect the changes to lead to any reduction in workforce, the release said.

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – District 158 officials are seeking an inflationary increase to the property tax levy after three years of holding requests flat for existing homeowners in the Huntley area. The 1.7 percent increase that is tied to inflation would add $915,000 to the school district’s coffers, said Chief Financial Officer Mark Altmayer. A homeowner with a home valued at $200,000 will

pay $53 more in property taxes to the district. The same homeowner paid $3,382 total in property taxes this year to the district. Property taxes are the main revenue source for District 158 and most other school districts in the state. “In an effort to keep up with increasing costs, we need to pass the Consumer Price Index increase of 1.7 percent,” Altmayer said. The added property tax dollars will go to general operating costs, including

larger district expenses like salaries and benefits. The request breaks three consecutive years officials held the district’s property tax levy flat, excluding ballooned increases to capture taxes from new construction, which is not subject to the tax cap. The district technically is ballooning this year’s levy by an extra 1 percent to capture an estimated $9.4 million in new construction. But Altmayer said the actual revenue coming from new construction likely will be lower

than estimated. The district’s levy request, including the ballooned portion, totals $55.7 million. The board will make a final vote on it during its Dec. 19 meeting. The district in January also will abate roughly $400,000 in debt that would have been normally paid through property taxes. The 4.6 percent reduction would drop the district’s debt paid by property taxes from $8.6 million to $8.3 million, Altmayer said.

And the taste of winter makes me think of love! Vickie, 5th grade

McHENRY COUNTY: RESTORATION WORK PLANNED

Volunteers sought to clean up 3 natural areas across county NORTHWEST HERALD The Land Conservancy of McHenry County is seeking volunteers to help restore natural areas at three different locations this month. Work will include cutting, stacking and burning non-native brush to open up wetland and oak woodland areas so native plants and animals can survive, according to a news release. No experience is necessary, and participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring work gloves. The first chance to volunteer will be from 10 a.m. to 1

p.m. Wednesday at the Westwood Conservation Area, 1524 Hillside Trail, Woodstock. The nonprofit has worked with the city of Woodstock since 2006 to help restore the wetlands and oak woods located on the 63-acre city park on the west side of the Westwood Lakes subdivision. Volunteers will then gather from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Windy Knoll Conservation Area on Sweet Bay Drive in McHenry. The Windy Knoll subdivision donated 20 acres to The Land Conservancy in 2002, and group members have since cleared out much of the

invasive brush in the overgrown natural areas that were choking out native plants. The last chance to volunteer will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday at the Yonder Prairie Nature Preserve, 1150 S. Rose Farm Road, Woodstock. The Land Conservancy has worked since 2009 to restore the oak woods and wetlands on the property that was recognized in 2009 as a state nature preserve. Tools and refreshments will be provided at each location. For information, call 815-337-9502 or email mhormann@conserveme.org.

Village will preserve some items from mill • MILL Continued from page B1 on agriculture. Without mills, they would have never had lived. Without agriculture, our town would never had been formed.” Local historians lodged similar complaints in 2010 when the former Marlowe Feed and Hatchery building, historically used as a mill, fell victim to demolition crews. Built in the 1890s, the Sawyer-Kelley mill at 11801 Main St. originally belonged to W.G. Sawyer and John Kelley, two local businessmen who helped develop the village in the late 1800s. Village Manager Dave Johnson countered criticisms that officials are disinterested in preserving Huntley’s agrarian roots during the ongoing effort to spruce up the look of the downtown. Officials already have started design work on preserving the former Hackett House, a historical two-story

“Proposals to preserve the [Sawyer-Kelley mill property] were actively sought.” Dave Johnson Huntley village manager

hotel for railroad visitors that the village acquired earlier this year. The village also opted to lease and renovate the old downtown Village Hall – built in 1939 – to the Huntley Chamber of Commerce in 2011, nearly five years after officials moved to a new building farther east along Main Street. When planning for the downtown overhaul in 2010, officials identified the Sawyer-Kelley mill as a redevelopment project, Johnson said. The village spent nearly a year trying to find a developer interested in preserving the historical building, after

officials acquired it in 2012, he said. “Preservation is important, and it is the reason the village elicited proposals for the Sawyer-Kelley property that did not focus solely on redevelopment,” Johnson said. “Proposals to preserve the building were actively sought.” Board members last week had a proposal to preserve the building, but the developer wanted more money from the village than the one interested in demolishing the property and building a higher-valued commercial space. Despite the disagreement, the village will work with local historians on preserving items unique to the mill, Johnson said. The commission would need to identify what items to preserve and where to store them, Britton said. “Barring the building from being saved, if we could save something that is historical inside it, that would be good,” she said.

“It’s another indication our financial [condition] is improving,” Superintendent Brian Coleman said. “I wish the state was also improving, because that was one of the issues in selling bonds. A lot of the bidders were reluctant to bid because of the finances of the state.” The district also anticipates it will save money on its next contract to lease buses. Under a proposal from Midwest Transit, the company from which the district currently leases its buses, the district will reduce its annual leasing costs by $81,000. Under the proposed threeyear contract, the district will lease 35 buses for about $329,000 a year. The district plans to lease four fewer 72-passenger buses because of declining enrollment and more efficient routing, according to Schubert. “These savings are attributed to the reduced fleet and more favorable interest rates,” Schubert wrote in a district memo. School board members are scheduled to vote on the new bus lease at their meeting on Monday.

get easy layups. “We felt like we could win as long as we got tips, rebounds and ran, and that’s what we did.” Senior guard Caleb Johnson followed Mahoney’s layup with another quick bucket off a steal at midcourt with 5:40 left in the first half. Johnson drew a foul and completed the three-point play to give South a 16-8 advantage. The Gators then posted a 14-5 run with 10 points coming off turnovers South (7-0) forced in Johnsburg’s backcourt.

Lynch makes sure Heisman news is heard DeKALB – Jordan Lynch’s Heisman Trophy game of phone tag began at 4:45 p.m. Monday. That’s when Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey called his senior star quarterback and asked, if he wasn’t busy this weekend, if he’d have a problem jetting off to New York as one of six finalists for college football’s biggest individual honor. Tag. You’re it Jordan Lynch. Being the good son he is, Lynch decided to include his mother, Sheila, on the game. He called her cellphone while she was at work. No answer. Called again. Nothing. Called again. Still no mom. How’s a kid supposed to pass on what’s perhaps the biggest news of his life – or at least his college football career – if his mom’s cellphone battery is dead? “There’s no point in having a cellphone these days,” Lynch said Tuesday. “I told my ma, I called her 100 times. So she kind of gets it for not picking up the phone and charging it.” Lynch placed a call to his dad Jim’s cellphone. Nothing. No answer. Really? He tried again, his frustration with his parents’ cellphone habits quickly mounting. No one picked up. “I don’t know what [my dad’s] deal was,” Lynch said. By this point Monday, Lynch had tweeted that he was indeed heading to New York, a city he’s never visited, to vie for a trophy that no Mid-American Conference player – let alone one from NIU – had ever won. In his haste to break the news to someone – including any of his 7,247 Twitter followers – Lynch inadvertently preceded ESPN’s announcement by a good 10 minutes. Jordan Lynch’s second straight record-breaking year with the Huskies landed him in the same room as players who play for bigger schools and in bigger conferences and in front of bigger fan bases. Lynch said Tuesday he’s excited to get to New York and rub elbows with the Heisman elite. He wants to meet Bo Jackson, who won the award in 1985. He’s really excited to see New York. He wants to travel around the city on a bus with his family. During his news conference Tuesday morning, Lynch even mistakenly thought Rockefeller Center was a chapel before quickly being corrected by an athletic department spokeswoman.

seven-point cushion at the start of the second quarter of Tuesday’s Fox Valley Conference crossover. But Mahoney had made a statement. Little, if anything, was going to break South’s full-court press. Even

less would stop the Gators from scoring off it. South spent the rest of the evening unraveling Johnsburg in a 7044 victory that preserved the Gators’ unblemished record and left few doubts about whether South’s runand-gun style and stingy defense are as solid as advertised. “The second level (of the press) was really active,” said Mahoney, who led all scorers with 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field. “We like to get the trap on the first pass so the second level can just do their work and get some tips. We turn around, get out, run fast and

McHenry’s Kyle Postal shoots over Woodstock North’s Josh Jandron during the first quarter of Tuesday’s game in McHenry. McHenry won, 60-50.

McHENRY – McHenry guard Greg Johnson didn’t get upset at his subpar shooting performance against Woodstock North. He adapted and still made an impact. Johnson, usually one of the Warriors’ most reliable outside shooters, took his game inside in the fourth quarter and scored 11 of his 13 points. McHenry, which chased the Thunder most of three quarters, eventually won, 60-50, in their Fox Valley Conference crossover boys basketball game Tuesday at McHenry’s West Campus. McHenry, which was shooting 50 percent from the field going into the game, hit 34.1 percent in the first three quarters. The Warriors (6-1) could not find their outside touch and Johnson, who leads the team with 16.2 scoring average, was 0 of 7. “[Assistant] Coach [Rob] Niemic always gets on me to do something different out there, be hard to guard,” said Johnson, who was 4 for 7 in the fourth quarter. “Hard to guard’s getting to the rim if you’re not making shots. Some games, those will all go in and this wasn’t one of them, you have to find another way to do it.” McHenry scored 22 points in the fourth quarter with no 3s and hit 6 of 8 free throws to seal the win. “We slowed it down a lot and started focusing on getting rebounds and getting easy points,” said forward Kyle Postal, who led all players with 19 points. North (1-5) pushed its lead to 38-30 with 4:50 remaining in the third quarter.

Podlesh patient on puntless night Here’s a brain game for you football fans. What do you call a punter that doesn’t punt? This is a question with no wrong answer. The more creative, the better. “A punter that doesn’t punt?” said Bears tight end Martellus Bennett, agreeing to take part in the challenge. “I guess he would be a …” Bennett fell silent, deep in thought. Moments later, his face lit up with a smile. “Kickstand!” Bennett said. “He’s a kickstand! “Yeah, a kickstand just stands there, you know?” Perfect. Meet Adam Podlesh, the Bears’

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick new kickstand. Previously, Podlesh had served as the Bears’ punter. He had booted 225 punts in 44 games with the Bears after notching 229 punts in 59 games with Jacksonville. But on Monday against the Dallas Cowboys, the Bears did not need Podlesh to punt. Every possession on offense except the last led to long, sustained drives that ended with points. Check out the Bears’ drive chart from the 45-28 win: Touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown,

field goal, end of game. No punts. Hey, at least Podlesh was able to serve as the holder for field goals and extra points. “I have a text message from my dad,” Podlesh said as he dressed in front of his locker after the game. “He said, ‘Great holds out there. I’m sure your punts in warmups were great.’ ” Well, were they? “Yeah, actually,” Podlesh said with a shrug. “I had a pretty good day. Not that it counts, but yeah, I felt comfortable going out there.” Games can be unpredictable, and punters never know how much or how little they might be needed. But the odds of a zero-punt performance

The tale of Josh McCown and ‘green groin’ Thanks in large part to a four-touchdown performance by quarterback Josh McCown, the Bears improved to 7-6 with a win against the Dallas Cowboys. Shaw Media’s Hub Arkush and Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: He was a so-so Jay player whose Cutler career had fizzled. He was coaching at a North Carolina high school when the Bears called, offering him a second chance. Now, he’s the talk of Chicago sports. At what point do we start making Josh McCown’s story into a movie? And which actor

should play him? Arkush: First thing you have to do is get Ron Howard a hairpiece and personal trainer, because who else could play McCown but Opie? Then we find a psychic who can channel Walt Disney himself from the grave, because no one Josh else could do McCown the screenplay justice. The hardest part will be casting Marc Trestman, but I’m thinking about Gene Wilder to recraft his portrayal of Willie Wonka as a new age life coach and pigskin savant. Musick: Golly gee, Hub, I sure could see Opie doing a

TAKE 2 Tom Musick and Hub Arkush face off mighty fine job as the Bears’ unlikely star quarterback. I also would offer Dwayne Johnson (also known as “The Rock”) to play Matt Forte, but he has to agree to shave his head and average 5 yards a carry. Also, whenever the wild party wraps up for Kirk Douglas’ 97th birthday, we should give him a call and ask whether he wants to play Patrick Mannelly. Arkush: This is great, so far, but I’m really struggling to cast Jay Cutler. Maybe the

“Mayhem Guy” from the All State commercials? The best question, though, is who do we get to write Opie’s acceptance speech when, in a rare moment of self-sacrifice right out of “Remember the Titans,” Mayhem Guy goes to him on the sideline and says, “I’m giving you my starting job for the good of the team – and because the truth is my groin has turned green now and is still killing me.” Perhaps Steve Martin could script it and score it with banjos in the

background. Musick: Mayhem, I like that. I can hear the voice now: “I’m an NFL quarterback. My everything hurts and my next contract will cost you tens of millions. Oh, and I just threw into double coverage in the red zone.” The green groin is a nice touch and could generate some Oscar buzz. But what we need to figure out now is how this movie ends. Does Opie aw-shucks his way to the playoffs? Does Mayhem return to reclaim his job, for better or worse? And ultimately, does this turn out to be a buddy flick or a hero versus a villain? Arkush: There is a third option, you know. Cutler decides testing the green groin with his last big contract on the table is too big a risk and

after his dramatic passing of the torch to Opie, he borrows Will Ferrell’s cheerleader outfit and works the sideline. Opie throws six more touchdowns in Cleveland and, in a wild locker room celebration, stubs his toe and is out for the year. Out of the showers Tom Selleck emerges in the role of Jordan Palmer, escorted by quarterback whisperer Gene Wilder Trestman, and the Bears’ march to the Super Bowl begins in earnest. Musick: Count me in. I’m hearing Steve Martin’s banjos in the background as the screen fades to black. • Write to Tom Musick at tmusick@shawmedia. com. Write to Hub Arkush at harkush@shawmedia.com.

NFL

Study: Hits to head still prevalent The ASSOCIATED PRESS Almost once a game, an NFL player absorbs an illegal blow to the head or neck that could put his career – or worse – at risk. The NFL has been trying to prevent such blows over the past four years, targeting improper technique and making a point to penalize and fine players for hits that leave them and their opponents vulnerable. Yet an Associated Press review of penalties through the first 11 weeks of the season found those hits are still prevalent. The AP reviewed 549 penalties, 491 of which fell under the category of major infractions: unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct, roughing the passer, face masks and roughing the quarterback. Of the penalties charted over the first 162 games of the season, the AP identified 156 involving contact with the head and neck – an average of .962 per game. Of those, 38 were for head-wrenching face masks, 25 were for horse collars and 93 were for hits to the head. Quarterbacks (40) and receivers (38) shared the brunt of those hits almost equally, with players at other positions absorbing the other 15 blows. The numbers can be inter-

Bears-Eagles flexed to Sunday night Attention, Bears: The nation wants to watch you. One day after a rousing Monday night win against the Dallas Cowboys, the Bears learned that their Week 16 game against the Philadelphia Eagles had been flexed to NBC’s prime-time slot for “Sunday Night Football.” The Bears and Eagles originally had been scheduled for a noon kickoff Dec. 22 in Philadelphia. How eager was NBC to showcase two high-powered offenses just before Christmas? Eager enough to bump Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, who originally were slated to play the Baltimore Ravens on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 16. Perhaps the Bears’ additional prime-time game will bode well for their postseason chances. The Bears improved to 4-0 in prime time this season with the win against the Cowboys, and their perfect streak includes one win on Thursday night, one win on Sunday night and two wins on Monday night. – Tom Musick, tmusick@shawmedia.com preted a variety of ways. The league declined comment, though it made a statement of sorts in the offseason when it decided against the 5 percent hike in minimum fines, as allowed for in the union contract, after determining players were adjusting to the rules. A sentiment among the players the AP spoke to on offense was that they appreciate all the NFL has done to protect them. But, in the words of Titans running back Chris Johnson, they know that “sometimes you just can’t control where you hit somebody.” Defensive players acknowledged they have to do their part

to make the game safer. But the defenders also reiterated a long-held belief that they’re held to a different standard than their offensive counterparts. “No doubt,” Packers cornerback Tramon Williams said. “Guys are still getting penalized for clean shots, getting fined for clean shots, and there’s no other explanation to it. Just like they’re holding us accountable for trying to make that right hit, they’ve got to hold themselves accountable for making the right calls on the field, and making the right decision on who to fine and how much to fine.”

Podlesh’s last puntless game in 2010 • MUSICK Continued from page C1 are miniscule – it had not happened to Podlesh since Sept. 19, 2010, with the Jaguars – so he and long snapper Patrick Mannelly stayed ready every time the offense took the field. By the fourth quarter, Podlesh started to wonder whether he might post a goose egg. “I didn’t want to jinx it,” Podlesh said. “But it seemed as though that was going on.” Kind of like baseball players keeping quiet in the late innings of a no-hitter? “I don’t know if it’s the same thing as pitching a no-hitter,” Podlesh said with a laugh. OK. That explains why teammates did not mob Podlesh at the end of the game. Was it the opposite, then? Did teammates feel any trace of sympathy that Podlesh did not play a bigger role? Did any guilt accompany the fact that they played while Podlesh watched? “[Heck] no, I don’t feel bad,” veteran special-teams

ace Blake Costanzo said with a smile. “He got paid to chill, man.” Technically, Podlesh got paid to freeze, but Costanzo had a good point. The funny thing is that Podlesh could have been paid more if he had punted. As part of a complicated formula that is included in the NFL’s labor agreement, teams dole out performance-based pay after the end of the season based on players’ overall salaries and the number of plays during which they were on the field. It’s tough to say exactly how much more of a bonus Podlesh might have received if he had punted Monday, but it would have been something more than zero. Some players across the league have earned six-figure payments based on the player-performance system. Even if it’s four figures or five figures, it’s good money. “It’s great money, to be exact,” said Eric Weems, another veteran special-teams contributor for the Bears. “It comes at the right time, when guys are in the offseason and no income is coming

in.” But in the NFL, wins are more precious than paychecks. If teams are not punting, there’s a good chance that a win will follow. “I’m cool with that,” Costanzo said. “It means our offense is balling.” Or bawling. “It’s either one of two things,” Weems said. “The offense is turning over the ball and we don’t punt, or the offense is moving the ball and scoring points. In this case, they were moving the ball and scoring points.” A ton of points. And if the Bears go the rest of the season without needing Podlesh to punt, he won’t complain a lick. He told his teammates as much after the game. “I actually told Josh [McCown], ‘Hey, if we do that the next three weeks, that’s fine with me,’ ” Podlesh said. “As long as we get W’s.” • Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@ shawmedia.com and on Twitter @tcmusick.

Bears running back Matt Forte gains a first down against the Cowboys in the first quarter Monday at Soldier Field. Forte ran for 102 yards and had 73 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ 45-28 win.

8 BEARS INSIDER / BY HUB ARKUSH

High grades for offense The Bears’ 45-28 win over the Cowboys on “Monday Night Football” was the game most Bears fans have been waiting for since Marc Trestman was named the team’s head coach. With 490 yards of total offense, a 73 percent conversion rate on third down, no turnovers and a 36:44-to-23:16 advantage in time of possession, the Bears’ offense played close to the perfect game. No player on the club was closer to perfection than quarterback Josh McCown. In his fifth start filling in for Jay Cutler, McCown displayed dynamic pocket presence, seemingly with eyes in the back of his head at times and completed 27 of 36 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns, and he ran three times for 16 yards and another touchdown. Score McCown an A-. Why the minus? In a sequence of eight plays between 12:54 and 8:52 of the third quarter, McCown threw seven times, and three of his throws should have been intercepted. Two were just dropped by Orlando Scandrick and Brandon Carr, respectively, and one was picked off by Sterling Moore but was nullified by a holding call on Carr. Running backs Matt Forte and Michael Bush get A- as well. Forte ran 20 times for 102 yards and caught seven passes for 73 yards and a touchdown, while Bush managed eight carries for 38 yards with one catch for a 17-yard touchdown. Their minus is because the Bears’ short-yardage game failed again. For the receivers, why not an A- too? McCown did a great job of spreading the ball around with nine targets at Forte, nine at Alshon Jeffery, eight at Brandon Marshall and six to Martellus Bennett. Earl Bennett caught the only two balls thrown at him, including a 4-yarder for the Bears’ first score. The other Bennett was dynamic with the ball after the catch, Marshall had another 100-yard game and Jeffery’s 25-yard touchdown catch with 37 seconds remaining in the first half may be the highlight of the 2013 highlight reel and was the turning point of the game.

Marshall also threw a block on Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee that Lee will be seeing in his sleep for a week. I’ve got a B for the offensive line. The pass protection for McCown was very good most of the night. But the run blocking still leaves a lot to be desired. Matt Slauson, in particular, struggled. And the short-yardage game. ... The defense is a lot tougher to call. I’ll start with a C for the defensive line, which abandoned its gaps most of the evening. In spite of the Bears’ lopsided win, the Cowboys still rushed for 198 yards, and the Bears will not be a playoff team if that continues. After slanting the playing field in Minnesota, Julius Peppers failed to make the stat sheet. Stephen Paea, Corey Wootton and Shea McClellin were all poor to worse. Jeremiah Ratliff did have a nice game, doubling his snaps over last week and getting his first quarterback sack as a Bear. The linebackers get a D. James Anderson wasn’t horrible, but Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene both appeared to regress rather than improve. Bostic is clearly better suited for the Will-backer spot, while Greene is just flat out guessing on the field, often wrong. The safeties may have improved to a C-, but neither Major Wright nor Chris Conte is playing well enough to plan on for the future. Zack Bowman had the best game of anyone on the defense, and Tim Jennings was solid again as the Bears held Dez Bryant to two catches for 12 yards and Jason Witten to one grab for 10, although each had a touchdown. The special teams get a B-. Robbie Gould was perfect, but a big kickoff return from Dwayne Harris could have been costly. Finally, an A for coach Marc Trestman and his staff for their best effort of the year under horrible conditions.

Lynch proclaims, ‘I’m going there to win’ Heisman Trophy • ARNOLD Continued from page C1

AP file photo

Jordan Lynch is NIU’s first Heisman Trophy finalist.

Whether Lynch is really among college football’s elite remains up for debate among those who wonder whether the talented quarterback would put up such mind-blowing numbers if he played in a bigger conference like the one his bigger name, bigger school Heisman brethren do on a regular basis. But this much is true. Lynch isn’t shying away from the competition. “I’m going there to win,” Lynch said. “I’m not going there to come in last or to second place. I’m going there to win.” Lynch’s phone hasn’t stopped

ringing since Carey called Monday afternoon. Among those who called Monday night was former NIU coach Jerry Kill, now at Minnesota, who was out recruiting when the announcement was made and didn’t learn that Lynch was heading to New York until about 11 p.m. He then proceeded to call Lynch’s phone 12 times. The two finally spoke Tuesday morning. Kill, who offered Lynch his NIU scholarship, knows what Lynch’s Heisman candidacy means not only for Lynch, but for a program that remained in line for a BCS Bowl berth until losing to Bowling Green on Friday night in the MAC Championship Game. Lynch said Tuesday he would trade the trip to New York in a

minute for a chance to play in the Fiesta Bowl. The loss – and trip to the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego that accompanies it – admittedly still stings. But being recognized for a body of work that has landed him among college football’s best and that keeps NIU in the national spotlight is sure to be a weekend Lynch will never forget. Lynch said the enormity of the accomplishment may not even hit him until he’s on a plane to New York. Hopefully, his mom keeps her phone charged. • Jeff Arnold is a sports reporter

J’burg struggles vs. South pressure • GATORS Continued from page C1 “We walked through [the press] before we got on the bus,” Johnsburg coach Mike Toussaint said. “ … It’s the first time we’ve really seen a press all year, so if we learn from it, I’m not concerned. But we panicked. One of our keys was to keep composure and keep our cool against the press, and we didn’t.” Johnsburg (1-6) bettered its entire first-half output in the third quarter with 18 points but couldn’t catch the Gators. Mahoney hit a 3-pointer and a transition layup with 5:56 left in the third, and guard Collin Wagner capped the quarter with a steal and a layup for a 46-31 lead heading into the fourth. “I thought Johnsburg did a good job slowing the game down at first and taking us out of our comfort zone,” South coach Matt LePage said. “But once we got the pressure on and the running game going, it opened up the game for sure.”

Thunder defense tough on Warriors

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CL CENTRAL 46, HAMPSHIRE 31

Tigers hold off Whip-Purs By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

• McHENRY Continued from page C1 The Thunder got big games from guards Josh Jandron (16 points) and Junior Ortiz (13) and looked ready for to knock off the Warriors. “What we did tonight was play tremendous defense,” North coach Steve Ryan said. “We might not be the best offensive team around, but these kids came to play defense tonight. I couldn’t complain about our effort. As a whole game, to come on the road and be in this kind of atmosphere, it was one of our best games, end to end.” Johnson hit a 15-foot jumper to tie the score at 44-44 with 6:01 remaining, then scored twice inside around a Postal free throw as the Warriors jumped ahead, 49-44. North could not get closer than three points after that. McHenry coach Tim Paddock thought it was a good test his team passed early in the season. “This was the first game we didn’t shoot it well,” Paddock said. “A lot of those shots went in in the past for us, but they’re not going to every single game. Things are not always going be smooth in a basketball game. We’re not always going to hit eight or nine 3s in a game. That was a good sign we found a different way tonight.” Cody Freund added 11 points for the Warriors and Nick Higgin grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Hampshire girls basketball team worked hard to erase a Crystal Lake Central eightpoint lead the Tigers grabbed within the first two minutes of Tuesday’s game. By halftime, the WhipPurs managed to cut the Tigers’ lead to three points, slowly chipping away at the deficit. But Central came out in the third quarter and delivered an 11-0 run that Hampshire couldn’t overcome. The Tigers maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way en route to a 4631 Fox Valley Conference Fox Division win against the Whip-Purs. “We’ve been talking for two weeks now about not letting our offense affect our defense and letting our defense spur our offense,” Central

coach Paul Lichtenheld said. “We finally had that happen tonight.” A simple adjustment at halftime paid big dividends for the Tigers (3-6, 1-1 FVC Fox). Although Lichtenheld was pleased with his team’s first-half effort, Central wasn’t rotating properly and that issue was corrected during the break. It helped the Tigers hold the WhipPurs without a field goal until 3:54 remained in the third quarter. At that point, the Tigers had extended their lead to 36-22. “I just think it was attitude, I don’t think they believed we could,” Hampshire coach Mike Featherly said of his team’s inability to comeback in the second half. “The energy wasn’t there. We didn’t have the same bounce in our step.” Even when Hampshire (54, 1-2) pulled within 23-22 with

2:26 left in the second quarter on a 3-pointer by Sara Finn, Central always seemed to be in control. The Tigers limited Whip-Purs sophomore Emma Benoit by trying to double team her whenever Hampshire managed to get the ball inside, which wasn’t too often. Central forwards Shannon Ellman and Morgan Wozniak took turns guarding Benoit and limited her to 11 points, with only three points coming in the second half. The Tigers relied on balanced scoring to beat Hampshire’s defense. Five players scored at least six points for Central, led by Evelyn Youel’s 11 and Ellman’s nine points. “I think it shows we can trust our teammates and whoever you give the ball to you can trust them and know they’ll make a good play,” Ellman said.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: GRAYSLAKE CENTRAL 54, JOHNSBURG 30

Improved Johnsburg falls short By BILL PEMSTEIN sportsdesk@nwherald.com GRAYSLAKE – A year ago, the Johnsburg Skyhawks won four games all season. They also dropped 25. This season is a little different. Johnsburg already has four wins in its first 10 games. Johnsburg senior Erika Szramek tried to explain the difference between the two teams. “We weren’t all together last year,’’ Szramek said. “People were chucking up balls. This year’s team is not selfish. We work as a team and help each other.” On Tuesday, the Skyhawks (4-6) took on a strong Grayslake Central team and lost, 5430, in Fox Valley Conference Fox Division play. For most of the first half,

the Skyhawks hung with the Rams (7-2). On a flip shot from Maycee Ward (8 points), the Skyhawks were just a point back (17-16) halfway through the second quarter. And then the 3-pointers began to fly for the Rams. Four of them landed before the end of the quarter. “We stopped being aggressive,’’ said Johnsburg coach Brad Frey. “We were letting them shoot them. We were right there before they hit those 3-pointers. I’m just disappointed with our lack of intensity.” Central looked ready to blow the Skyhawks right out late in the third quarter. That’s when Szramek decided to take matters into her own hands. She only scored four points but they all came in a 48-second burst. There was

one drive to the hoop and one flip shot in the lane. “I figured I should do something,’’ Szramek said. “I wanted to take it to the lane.” A rebound bucket from freshman Cortland Sommerfeldt cut the Rams lead to 36-25 heading to the fourth quarter. “Maycee Ward did that in the first quarter,’’ Frey said. “And Erika got to the lane. We are playing much better. We really are. But Grayslake Central is good and we knew that.” Central’s big scoring threat, Morgan Dahlstrom stands 6-foot-1, but overall the Skyhawks kept her in check. She scored 16 points. Rams coach Steve Ikenn said the Skyhawks battled all night. “Brad does a good job with them,’’ Ikenn said. “This was not an easy game for us.”

Athlete of the Week MADDIE DRAIN Prairie Ridge, sr. Drain delivered two big performances to lead the upstart Wolves to two Fox Valley Conference Valley Division wins. The senior center scored 26 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in Prairie Ridge’s win against Crystal Lake South and followed that performance with a 21-point, 15-rebound game in a win against Cary-Grove on Friday.

Noteworthy Thunder await Darling: Opponents have yet to get a glimpse of how good Woodstock North’s offense can really be. The Thunder have been without junior guard Kristy Darling, who is working back from ACL surgery on her right knee. Woodstock North coach Mike Lewis said Darling should be able to play in a couple of weeks, though they aren’t rushing her back. Lewis wants Darling to be at full strength when she gets on the court. With Darling in the lineup, the Thunder will become even more dangerous on the perimeter. Darling would give Woodstock North another 3-point shooter, in addition to junior guard Ashley Jones and sophomore guard Samantha Zieman, while complementing the inside presence of sophomore center Haley Ahr. “She’s going to be one of the best shooters in the area, I think,” Lewis said of Darling. “She can load it up with the best of them. Having her on a wing with Ashley Jones, it’ll be real hard to double-down on Haley. They’ve started to do it a little bit. I’ll welcome that.” South still without Nolan: Crystal Lake South continues to

play without junior starting forward Carly Nolan. Nolan hasn’t played since Nov. 23 against Hononegah, missing the past five games with an undisclosed injury. South coach Kyle McCaughn said he hopes they will have news on her injury Friday. Without the athletic Nolan in the lineup, the Gators have been missing one of their best rebounders and another solid presence in the paint. Wolves start strong: Prairie Ridge had trouble finishing games last year and watched too many first-half leads evaporate. This season, however, the Wolves opened the FVC Valley with three wins, including against two teams expected to compete for the division title. Prairie Ridge handled Crystal Lake South on the road for a 44-38 victory and then beat Cary-Grove, 67-53, for the first time in more than 13 years.

This week’s top games Huntley at Chicago Whitney Young 8 p.m. Friday The Red Raiders take on last year’s Class 4A state third-place team, one of the most consistently talented programs in the state. It represents a great chance for Huntley to see how its stacks up against one of the state’s best. Prairie Ridge at Huntley 7 p.m. Saturday The only two teams with unblemished FVC Valley Division records square off with the winner taking sole possession of first place. – Meghan Montemurro mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

BLACKHAWKS 6, STARS 2

Saad, Sharp lead road romp By MARK LAZERUS

Next for the Hawks

mlazerus@suntimes.com DALLAS – The Blackhawks were braced for another taut, physical, down-to-the-wire affair, just like the last two meetings against the Dallas Stars. Instead, they got a game that was even more lopsided than the ‘‘Monday Night Football’’ contest between the same two cities a night earlier. Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp each scored two second-period goals as the Hawks romped to a 6-2 victory on Tuesday night. It was their third victory at American Airlines Center in the past month. They also won both meetings in Dallas last season, including an 8-1 thrashing. AP photo Antti Raanta, making his Blackhawks left wing Brandon Saad celebrates a goal against Stars first start since becoming the goalie Kari Lehtonen in the second period Tuesday in Dallas. de facto No. 1 goalie in the wake

of Corey Crawford’s injury, made 27 saves to improve to 4-0-1. He wasn’t exactly under a lot of pressure – more than halfway through the second period, the Hawks had nearly as many goals (five) as the Stars had shots (six). The Hawks were all over the Stars early on. Michael Kostka, making his first appearance since Oct. 19, scored 2:03 into the game when his shot from the point hit Dallas’ Erik Cole and trickled just over the goal line before Kari Lehtonen

Holiday special

could bring it back. The Hawks squandered a nearly two-minute two-man advantage midway through the first period, but Patrick Kane scored on a breakaway sprung by a Brent Seabrook pass at 12:05 to make it 2-0. Kane, who added two assists later, now has a point in 18 of his past 19 games, including six straight. Sloppy Stars play led to Saad’s first goal of the game at 2:46 of the second period. And after a scary play in which Ryan Garbutt’s skate hit Johnny Oduya in the face (he was OK), Sharp scored a power play goal at 8:20 to make it 4-0, and the rout was on. Sharp scored on a breakaway, set up by a tremendous stretch pass from Duncan Keith three minutes later to make it 5-0. Jonathan Toews had the secondary assist on the

goal, the 400th point of his career. Antoine Roussel, who scored the game-winner on a penalty shot last week at the United Center, broke up Raanta’s shutout bid three minutes later, but Saad scored with 45 seconds left in the second period to make it 6-1. Roussel scored again with 18 seconds left. The Hawks killed off all five Dallas power plays, making them 10 for 10 in their past two games against two of the worst power plays in the league. Dallas is now 1 for 47 with the man-advantage at home this season. Note: Crawford will miss two or three weeks, according to coach Joel Quenneville, with what a source said was a groin injury suffered while making a pad save Sunday against Florida.

BUCKS 78, BULLS 74

TEAM

Undermanned Bulls fall short By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has been fond of saying, “We have more than enough,” when discussing his undermanned team during the last couple of seasons. But the Bulls didn’t in their 78-74 loss Tuesday to the dismal Milwaukee Bucks at the United Center. And even more bothersome, not against a team that come June is a likely candidate to hear: “With the first pick of the 2014 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks select … ’’ Playing without four of the five starters who were on the floor on opening night against the Miami Heat – Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng and Derrick Rose – the Bulls (8-11) lost for the eighth time in their last 10 games, falling to a 5-16 Bucks team that has spent most of the season in the Eastern Conference basement. No easy task considering the Bulls at 8-11 were still a playoff team in the East. “I thought we were OK in the first half,” Thibodeau said. “The second half, we struggled. There’s a way to win every game. You have four starters out, but if you defend and rebound and take care of the ball, it doesn’t matter. You’ve got to do better.” As far as who or what to blame, take your pick. The offense was anemic, and the Bulls’ 42-35 halftime lead

Tom Thibodeau Bulls coach all but disappeared in the third quarter because they committed eight turnovers and scored only 15 points. Still, they led 57-55 going into the fourth before spotty defense enabled the Bucks to outscore them 23-17 and escape with the victory. More than enough? Those were only words, given that the Bulls dressed only nine players and that some of them looked confused when the Bucks went into a zone defense for most of the second half. “Yeah, I thought it caused us some problems,” Mike Dunleavy Jr., who scored a team-high 24 points, said of the zone look the Bulls saw. “We became a little hesitant with it. We couldn’t really break it, couldn’t really make them uncomfortable in it and get them out of it. A lot of times you do that by knocking shots down or getting offensive rebounds, getting them confused, and we just couldn’t do it. They stuck with it for a long time.” And the Bulls struggled through most of it. “We didn’t have the shooting to

change that,” Thibodeau said, referring to the Bulls’ 31-for-83 effort from the field (37 percent). “We’ve got to straighten it out.” And it wasn’t like they didn’t have their chances. After the Bucks’ Brandon Knight missed a shot with 53 seconds left, rookie Tony Snell missed a layup and Carlos Boozer missed a putback. That would have pulled the Bulls to 75-74, but instead they trailed by three with 29.7 seconds left. The Bucks called a timeout, but all they could get out of the possession was an air ball from Ekpe Udoh. That gave the Bulls possession with 13.1 seconds left, but Boozer turned the ball over by knocking it out of bounds after the Bucks’ John Henson poked a pass away from him. That gave the Bucks the ball back with 6.2 seconds left, and Ersan Ilyasova sealed the victory by making two free throws. “We needed this one,” Bucks coach Larry Drew said. As for the Bulls, they need healthy bodies first and foremost. “There are some guys getting bigger opportunities, and we should all take advantage of that,” Dunleavy said. ‘‘As far as performance, skill and all that, the main thing is we have to play hard, compete and grind it out. You can do that whether Joakim Noah, Luol Deng or Derrick Rose is in the lineup or not. That’s a mind-set thing; that’s not a skill thing.”

“You have four starters out, but if you defend and rebound and take care of the ball, it doesn’t matter. You’ve got to do better.”

Jon Ekey, Nnanna Egwu and Joseph Bertrand added 11 points each and freshman Malcolm Hill chipped in 10 in a balanced attack by the Illini. Illinois (9-1) was outrebounded by Dartmouth (3-4), 33-27, but the Illini offset that deficit by shooting 52 percent from the field. Dartmouth was led by 17 points from both Gabas Maldunas and Connor Boehm and 14 from Eli Harrison. Boehm and Maldunas also grabbed nine rebounds each. Indiana 81, Oakland 54: At Bloomington, Ind., Evan Gordon scored a season-high 26 points – 16 in a dominant opening half for Indiana – to lead the Hoosiers (8-2) to a blowout win over Oakland (28). Gordon has 41 points in his past two games after scoring in double figures just twice in the first eight.

Minnesota 75, South Dakota St. 59: At Minneapolis, Austin Hollins scored 20 points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds as Minnesota (9-2) pulled away from South Dakota State (4-7). IPFW 65, Bradley 61: At Peoria, Luis Jacobo’s 3-pointer with 27 seconds remaining, his only points of the game, lifted IPFW (8-4) over Bradley. Bradley (5-5) had four players in double figures, led by Lemon with 14, Omari Grier 13, Ka’Darryl Bell 11 and Tyshon Pickett had 10.

The White Sox acquired outfielder Adam Eaton from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in a threeteam trade that included the Los Angeles Angels.

WHITE SOX

Sox land coveted ‘dirtbag’ OF Eaton part of 3-team deal with D’backs, Angels By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – The White Sox envision having 25-year old Adam Eaton, a max-effort “dirtbag” – as described by his new boss – as their center fielder and leadoff man for years to come. Acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three-way trade that sent left-hander Hector Santiago to the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, the 5-foot-8 Eaton, a lefty bat and the Pacific Coast League MVP in 2012, has been a minor-league star. The Angels also get a player to be named (reportedly Class AA outfielder Brandon Jacobs) or cash considerations from the Sox. The Sox were thrilled to get Eaton. “Adam provides us with a smart, high-energy baseball player for the top of the lineup,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “He knows the strike zone, is disruptive on the bases and provides solid defense in center field.” Eaton’s energetic and grinding style – which Hahn

compared to Lenny Dykstra – can’t hurt a team which lacked talent, good baseball sense and an identity over the course of its 99-loss season. “He fights through every at-bat,” Hahn said. “He leaves everything on the field. He’s got aggressive personality traits that we like and are going to help add to the clubhouse and improve our mix there.” Eaton is a career .348 hitter with 88 doubles, 26 home runs, 165 RBIs, 281 runs scored, 106 stolen bases and a .450 on-base percentage in 345 games over four minor-league seasons. In parts of two seasons with the D-backs, disrupted by a sprained left ulnar collateral ligament suffered during spring training in 2012, Eaton batted .254 in 335 at-bats. Eaton’s arm is his best defensive trait. “There’s been times where his routes, he’s had a problem on a couple of jumps,’’ Hahn said. “At the same time he’s got the speed to make up for it. He’s a young player. He’s missed some time at the bigleague level due to the elbow

injury, so he’s not a finished product entirely.” Hahn called Eaton a “disruptive force at the top of the order” and embraced his “dirtbag” mentality. With 22-year-old Avisail Garcia entrenched in right field, the trade moves left-handed leadoff man Alejandro De Aza, who batted .264 with 17 homers and 62 RBIs but was supbar in center, into a platoon with right-handed Dayan Viciedo or on the trade block. Or Viciedo could be moved. In Santiago, the Sox traded from depth but lose a versatile lefty who went 4-9 with a 3.56 ERA over 149 innings and 23 starts. The Sox signed right-hander Felipe Paulino to a one-year contract with an option year Monday, the first day of the winter meetings. Paulino and Erik Johnson are good bets to open the season as the two right-handers in the rotation. The biggest name in the trade was slugger Mark Trumbo, who went from the Angels to Arizona. The Angels also received pitcher Tyler Skaggs.

Evan Lysacek woke up every morning praying this would be the day the excruciating pain in his left hip – “like you’re being electrocuted” – would subside. And every day when he stepped on the ice, the searing throb of pain reminded him Evan Lysacek that passion alone can’t fuel a dream. The reigning Olympic figure skating champion from Naperville announced Tuesday that a torn labrum in his left hip will keep him from competing in Sochi. After two months of aggressive treatment, doctors told Lysacek last week the injury was not going to improve and he was

risking permanent damage if he kept training. “This has been my entire life, training and representing my country,” Lysacek told The Associated Press, pausing to fight back tears. “So it’s just kind of difficult. As much as I knew it could go either way, I never accepted it wouldn’t. I always thought it would work out. I was crushed. I am crushed.” Lysacek said he will have to take time off the ice for the injury to completely heal, and surgery remains a possibility. “I’m going to have to put the same focus on recovery and getting healthy that I put into training,” he said. Lysacek hasn’t competed since the 2010 Vancouver Games, where he became the first American man to win the Olympic title since Brian Boitano in 1988.

8SPORTS SHORTS Chicago sports television pioneer Corno, 66, dies Jim Corno was at the forefront of modern sports television in Chicago, from the infancy of SportsVision in 1984 to the rise of Comcast SportsNet, a dominant player in sports broadcasting. Corno, 66, the president of Comcast SportsNet Chicago, died Tuesday after battling cancer. Corno worked with Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz to put more Hawks games on TV. He also was the prime negotiator in 1999 in getting the Cubs to move some of their games from their longtime home on Ch. 9 to Fox Sports Net Chicago, one of the precursors to Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Corno, a native of St. Louis, helped turn SportsVision into the

first regional sports network to broadcast 24/7. It evolved into SportsChannel, then Fox Sports Net Chicago, then Comcast SportsNet in 2004, with Corno at the helm each time. – Toni Ginnetti

DAYS OF CHRISTMAS COOKIES

By ALISON LADMAN • The Associated Press

From figs to coconut, mango and apricot, bits of summer crash this year’s collection of holiday treats

The dark days of winter may bring the holidays, but they also bring a longing for warmer, sunnier weather. So we decided to give a tropical makeover to a classic cookie – the macaroon. The combination of dark rum, dried pineapple and fruit should help get you into a more equatorial mood.

Tropical Almond Macaroons Start to finish: 40 minutes Makes 60 cookies

Two 8-ounce cans almond paste 3/4 cup sugar 4 egg whites 1 tablespoon dark rum 1 cup finely diced dried pineapple Maraschino cherries (patted dry and halved) or flake

coconut, to garnish Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with kitchen parchment. In the bowl of a stand mixer, break up the almond paste into pieces. Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg whites and beat again until smooth. Stir in the rum and pineapple. Drop the dough by the teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Garnish each cookie with a well-dried cherry half or a piece of coconut. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and dry to the touch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

For this cookie, we created a hybrid of two of our favorite treats – fig bars and jam-filled thumbprint cookies. We started with a basic thumbprint cookie dough, but enriched it with the deep flavors of browned butter. And instead of filling it with any old jam, we made a thick, rich fig jam. The result is a delicious and beautiful holiday treat.

Brown Butter Fig Thumbprint Cookies Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Makes 2 dozen cookies 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 1/4 cup powdered milk 6 ounces dried figs, chopped 1/3 cup orange juice 1/3 cup water

This is the cookie to make when you’re looking to clean out the cup-

boards. We’ve packed them with all manner of treats – and oddities – from rolled oats, peanuts and chocolate chips to chopped prunes, crushed potato chips and even coffee grounds (trust us on that last one). The more unusual the combination, the better the results. But don’t feel you have to stop there. Got any other crackers, chips, nuts or dried fruit handy? Toss them in and let these cookies truly earn their kitchen sink name.

And you thought you were done with ice cream cones for the season. But we found a way not just to bring them back, but to do so deliciously and with just the right festive spirit for the holidays. We combine crushed sugar ice cream cones, toasted pecans and jammy cooked dates in a delicious bar topped with melted caramel candies and – of course – more pecans and crushed ice cream cones. The dates combine with the caramel to form a luscious sticky, rich filling reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding.

Peanut butter cookies – with that iconic crosshatch pattern pressed into their tops – are a holiday classic for many Americans. But as good as they are, we decided to play with the tradition a bit. We spiked our peanut butter cookies with a “jelly” of finely chopped golden raisins. We also ditched the flour in favor of upping the peanut flavor. The result is a slightly sweeter and delightfully chewy take on this holiday cookie. And of course we kept the crosshatch.

Red wine adds beautiful color to poached pears I made a poached pears dessert for the finale of a murder mystery dinner party a few weeks back. It was a private party in my client’s home to celebrate a special birthday. I wanted to display a real show-stopper with my dessert, and the poached pears did the trick. Poaching the pears brings out their natural sweetness, and the wine paints the fruit a beautiful, festive color while the spices add a good burst of flavors.

Poached Pears in Red Wine 2 ripe but firm Bosc or Bartlett pears 1 1/2 cup red wine (pinot noir, shiraz or zinfandel) 1/2 cup organic raw sugar 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1 tablespoon grated orange rind 2 whole cloves

THE PERSONAL CHEF Debi Stuckwisch 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 finger-length cinnamon stick 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger Whole peppercorns, to taste (optional) Peel the pears, keeping the stems intact. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each pear to make a flat surface so they will stand up. With a spoon, hollow out the bottom of the pear to remove the seeds. Set them aside. In a deep, nonreactive pot, combine the wine and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the orange rind and orange juice, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and peppercorns. Simmer the liquid at low heat for 7 to 10 minutes. Add the pears to the pot on their sides and keep the liquid at

Freeze-dried strawberries add a potent blast of flavor to these cookies without watering down the dough. You’ll find them in the grocer’s natural foods section, or sometimes in the toddler food aisle. To crush them, either pulse them in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and run a rolling pin over them. The dough for these cookies is easily prepped ahead of time. Follow the recipe up through forming the dough into logs. The logs can be refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen up to three months. If frozen, allow them to thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing and baking.

Everyone loves a basic oatmeal cookie. But these are no ordinary oatmeal cookies. In addition to studding them with chewy, sweet dried blueberries, we’ve also given them a sugary-and-salty topping. The result is a deeply flavored, addictive combination that elevates an otherwise simple treat.

a slow simmer. Cook the pears in the liquid with the pot partly covered for 30 to 40 minutes. Turn the pears frequently to make sure they absorbs the color from the wine evenly on all sides. Test to see if the pears are done by a knife end or skewer. They should be tender but not yet mushy or falling apart. When ready to serve, remove the pears. Strain the liquid and again bring it to a boil. Simmer until the liquid reduces and becomes thick and slightly syrupy. Transfer the pears to a serving dish, and pour the thickened liquid over the pear. You can serve the pears with whipped cream, ice cream or, my favorite, salted carmel gelato.

the flour until a dough just comes together. Stir in the strawberries and pistachios until evenly distributed. Divide the dough in half. Using a sheet of waxed paper to help you work with the dough, shape each half into a log 1 1/2 inches around and 12 inches long. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 375 F. Place the sanding sugar in a dinner plate. Unwrap one of the logs and roll it in the sugar to coat the sides. Using a paring knife, slice the log into about 30 rounds. To prevent the log from losing its shape, turn the log a little with each slice. Working in batches, arrange the slices on a baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between them. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining log. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

We’ve seen all manner of ways to make brownies a holiday treat, everything from burying peppermint candies in them to topping them with candy canes. But we prefer the delicious simplicity of this recipe, which swirls lime marmalade and cherry jam over a rich brownie base studded with chocolate chunks and dried cherries. If lime doesn’t do it for you, feel free to leave out the zest and substitute another variety marmalade or jam.

Cherry Lime Brownies Start to finish: 40 minutes, plus cooling (10 minutes active) Servings: 24 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted 2 cups packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon salt Zest of 1 lime 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 eggs 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder, sifted

These tiny tarts – named for the small cup or goblet they resemble – could be filled with any chopped dried fruit, but we loved the idea of beautiful golden apricots spiked with honey and amaretto. But feel free to substitute an equal amount of another dried fruit. Golden raisins, dried figs, dried cherries, or even dried cranberries would all be delicious. Although technically a tart, tassies are small enough to serve as a cookie. And the rich cream cheese-based pastry used for the crust may remind you of Jewish rugelach.

Honeyed Apricot Tassies Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active) Makes 18 tassies 1 cup dried apricots, chopped 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricots, water and honey. Cook, stirring frequently, until thick and jammy, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the

1 cup dried cherries 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks 1/3 cup lime marmalade 1/3 cup cherry jam Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13inch baking pan with baking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, lime zest and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour and cocoa powder, then stir in the cherries and chocolate chunks. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Dollop lime curd and cherry jam over the top of the brownie batter. Gently drag the back of a spoon through the top of the batter and the marmalade and jam to swirl them into the surface. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center yields just moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan. Cut into 24 bars.

Allow to cool completely. If desired, the filling can be prepared up to a week in advance, then covered and refrigerated. While the apricots cook, make the pastry. In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, butter, flour and salt. Pulse just until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in 2 pieces and pat each into a round about 1/2 inch thick. Cover each round tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerator for 30 minutes, or up to 2 days in advance. When ready to make the tassies, heat the oven to 400 F. Lightly dust a counter and rolling pin with flour. Working with one round of dough at a time, roll each until 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut 9 rounds of dough from each piece of dough. Fit each piece into a mini muffin cup. Depending on the number of cups in your mini muffin pan, you may need to work in batches. Fill each cup with 1 tablespoon of the apricot filling. Cut miniature shapes out of the scraps of dough and top the filling in each cup as garnish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is light golden brown. Allow to cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Don’t count on boyfriend’s Ice wines can be a cool ex for unbiased appraisal pick for holiday menus Dear Abby: I’m considering marrying a man who is divorced. We get along great, and I love and trust him. Is it ever appropriate to call the ex and discuss her side of the story? Or should I ask my boyfriend what she’d say if I were to contact her? – Covering My Bases In California Dear Covering Your Bases: If you call the ex, you can count on hearing something negative about your boyfriend or they wouldn’t be exes. Also, the things the ex might consider to be flaws may be the qualities you love best about him. That you would say you love and trust your boyfriend, and in the next sentence indicate you’re considering a chat with his former wife, makes me wonder how deep your level of trust is. However, if your gut tells you to do some digging, then you should listen to it – even if it results in an argument, which it probably will. Dear Abby: I’m proud of my daughter, “Celia.” She has a master’s degree, a successful career and is soon to be married to a wonderful man. Through three moves, my wife and I have cared for our daughter’s 1-ton-plus of

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips “stuff,” which includes the big dollhouse her grandpa built, her doll collection, high school and college memorabilia, her diaries, dishes for her future home, etc. When she visited, I’d ask her to sort through the boxes and throw some things out. Didn’t happen. My wife and I have downsized to a condo. The room that was supposed to be my “man cave” is half-filled with Celia’s things. It is TIME! Should I request our daughter pay for storage, or rent a U-Haul so I can deliver a 1-ton-plus “wedding gift?” –

Disgruntled Dad In Washington State Dear Dad: I can think of few things that would destroy the ambiance of a man cave more than a dollhouse. With a successful career, your daughter can afford to pay for a storage unit for her memorabilia. Set a date by which it must be out of your condo, with the understanding that if it isn’t, YOU will dispose of it. You should not have to deliver it to her. You have been patient

long enough, and the responsibility is hers. Dear Abby: I am a longtime practicing Pagan. Because of the media, Pagans are considered to be evil devil-worshippers instead of the nature-loving people with knowledge of home remedies we are. This makes it difficult in the dating world. A friend of mine wants to hook me up with a friend of his. When is it appropriate to tell the gentleman that I’m a practicing Pagan? I dress like everyone else, so at first glance you wouldn’t suspect my religion isn’t Christian. –

Lover Of Nature Dear Lover Of Nature: Nothing compels you and a stranger to get into a discussion about religious beliefs on a first date, but you should mention it when the opportunity arises. If the man seems to be put off by it, suggest he consult patheos.com, an online library on the subject of religions, in which there is a section describing Paganism, its practices and origins. It should make for a stimulating discussion.

Insulin injections virtually painless Dear Dr. K: I have to start taking insulin for my Type 2 diabetes. It sounds complicated. What do I need to know before I start? Dear Reader: The first thing you need to know is it is simple to learn and do, and the discomfort is minimal. Tens of millions of people all over the world do it every day – and probably most of them were afraid it would be complicated and painful before they actually started taking insulin. Insulin is a natural hormone that lowers blood sugar in all of us. In people with diabetes, the body no longer can make enough insulin to keep the blood sugar level normal. Doctors usually recommend insulin for people with Type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise and pills cannot keep blood sugar levels low enough. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels more effectively than any other available diabetes drug. Insulin can’t be taken as a pill; it must be taken by injection or with an insulin pump. (Insulin pumps are generally reserved for people with Type 1 diabetes.) A diabetes educator will teach you how to measure, prepare and

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff administer the injections. The equipment available today makes injections virtually painless. The needles are very small; you barely feel them when they pierce your skin. Most people use syringes or insulin “pens.” A pen injector uses disposable needles and insulin cartridges. It’s portable and discreet, and it provides multiple accurate doses without you needing to measure and fill syringes. There are several formulations of insulin. They vary based on how quickly they start working, how long it takes for the insulin to peak and how long it remains active. Different types of insulin can be used alone or in combination. The type of insulin and how much and how often you use it varies from person to person. You’ll work with your doctor or diabetes educator to develop an individualized insulin program. Your goal is to maintain a blood sugar level that’s as close to normal as possible without having your

blood sugar dip too low. Low blood sugar can have dangerous consequences of its own. If the sugar goes too low, you can become tired, confused and disoriented. You can even lose consciousness. Your blood sugar level is affected both by what you eat and how much insulin you take. Most people on insulin or other diabetes medicines check their own blood sugar levels with simple home kits. The doctor may recommend adjustments in the dose of insulin based on these blood levels. You’ll learn to manage your blood sugar by testing your blood once or twice a day to determine whether you need to adjust your insulin dose. You’ll use a glucose meter to do the testing; that’s standard equipment for most people with diabetes. You can refrigerate insulin or store it at room temperature. But don’t freeze it. Also, discard insulin that has expired or looks cloudy or otherwise strange.

Amish Country Hand Rolled Butter

The Associated Press Leaving grapes to freeze on the vine seems like a recipe for stone cold failure. But under the right conditions, the grapes that come in from the (extreme) cold can produce delicious dessert wines that are a cool favorite for holiday pairings. What to call it? It depends on where you are. It’s called eiswein in Austria and Germany, where it began; icewine, one word, in Canada, where it’s become something of a signature wine; and ice wine, two words, in the United States, where vintners in New York state and a few other regions are experimenting with the hard-to-make, easy-to-drink product. Whatever you call it, interest in the wine is heating up as producers experiment with new grapes and new winemaking styles – how about some sparkling ice wine with those gingerbread men? “The icewine category in Canada is continuing to evolve with new and innovative products entering the market each vintage,” said Franco Timpano, director of marketing for Inniskillin, a leading producer of ice wine, selling about 5,000 9-liter cases annually in Canada and about the same amount in the United States. “We’re seeing icewines made from varieties that we haven’t typically seen.” Typically, ice wines are made from riesling and cabernet franc, as well as Vidal, a winter-hardy French-American white hybrid grape developed by Jean Louis Vidal in the 1930s. But lately, Timpano’s

AP photo

Inniskillin’s 2007 Vidal Gold (from left), 2008 Riesling, 2008 Cabernet Franc, and Ice Storm’s Vault Reserve are examples of ice wines. Under the right conditions, grapes that come in from the cold can produce delicious dessert wines that are a cool favorite for holiday pairings. been seeing ice wines made from merlot, sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon. Inniskillin has made a sparkling Vidal icewine and this year came out with a sparkling cabernet franc icewine available mostly in Canada and at duty-free stores. Making ice wine is not for the faint of heart, points out Steve DiFrancesco, winemaker at Glenora Wine Cellars and Knapp Winery and Vineyards in New York’s Finger Lakes wine-growing region. First, the grapes are left on the vine for months after regular harvest is over. The leaves are gone and vines are dormant, providing little protection, and although the grapes are bundled in netting to ward off the advances of nature winged and clawed, they still are vulnerable. The benefit to all this grape hardship is the sugars and other dissolved solids don’t freeze, but the water in the grape does, which means when the frozen grapes are

pressed, they produce a more concentrated, sweeter juice. DiFrancesco likes to pick at about 13 degrees F. He’s also made wines with grapes frozen post-harvest. Wines made that way can’t be labeled as “ice wine” in the U.S. or Canada; though they may have the word “iced” on the label. In terms of holiday dessert pairings, texture’s important, said Patrick Cappiello, partner and beverage director of Pearl & Ash, a Bowery hotspot in New York. Something firm is required to balance the syrupy nature of the wines. Gingerbread is “kind of a no-brainer,” and another choice might be crisp oatmeal raisin cookies. “The thing that’s cool about ice wine is there’s a textural difference that you don’t see with other wines, and you see the care – the fact that there’s so many steps, there’s so much effort that goes into making it,” Cappiello said.

Johnny Cash to get new album

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, December 11, 2013 • Section D • Page 6

There’s new never-before-heard music coming from Johnny Cash. Cash’s estate is releasing “Out Among the Stars,” an album he recorded with Billy Sherrill in the early 1980s that was never released by Columbia Records, then disappeared when the company dropped Cash in 1986. Turns out Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, stashed the tapes – along with just about everything else that came into their possession. “They never threw anything away,” said their son, John Carter Cash. “They kept everything in their lives. They had an archive that had everything in it from the original audio tapes from ‘The Johnny Cash Show’ to random things like a camel saddle, a gift from the prince of Saudi Arabia.”

BUZZWORTHY

‘Glee’ actress to release debut album Thanks to her role on Fox’s “Glee,” Lea Michele is no stranger to recording music. Now she’s ready to launch her solo music career. The 27-year-old will release her debut album, “Louder,” on March 4. In a press release, Michele says the album is a reflection of her “experiences over this past year” and her “journey as an artist up to this point.” The first single, “Cannonball,” written by Sia, is available for download. On “Glee,” Michele plays Rachel Berry, a college student in New York City who dreams of becoming a famous Broadway star.

Beiber visits typhoon victims

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has scrapped promotional appearances in London because previous convictions bar him from entering Britain. Tyson, 47, was due in London this week as part of a promotional tour for his autobiography “Undisputed Truth.” His publisher, HarperCollins U.K., said in a statement Tuesday it had been “unaware” of recent changes to U.K. immigration law, and for that reason Tyson had to reroute to Paris. Under Britain’s immigration rules, anyone sentenced to more than four years in prison is barred from entering the country. Tyson served three years of a six-year sentence in the 1990s for raping a teenage beauty-pageant contestant. He also has been convicted of assault and cocaine possession. Britain’s Home Office declined to comment on Tyson.

Andrews missed ‘Sound of Music Live’ More than 18 million television viewers watched Carrie Underwood perform the role of Maria last week in NBC’s “The Sound of Music Live!” But Julie Andrews wasn’t among them. Andrews, who starred in the 1965 Oscar-winning film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, explained, “Alas, I did not [see it]. I had a speaking engagement and I couldn’t. But my kids did record it. I’ll get around to it.” She attended the U.S. premiere Monday night of “Saving Mr. Banks,” which depicts the battle between P.L. Travers, author of the “Mary Poppins” novels, and Walt Disney, who worked for decades to persuade the writer that the “Poppins” tales would make a fine film.

Convictions punch Tyson out of gigs

Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber visited young victims of Typhoon Haiyan on Tuesday, traveling to the Philippines after launching a worldwide campaign to help those affected by the deadly storm. Bieber arrived from Australia and flew to Tacloban, the devastated capital of central Leyte province, where he distributed shirts, toys and basketballs to children. The 19-year-old pop star visited a Tacloban elementary school that is being used as an evacuation center despite being heavily damaged by last month’s typhoon, which left nearly 6,000 people dead and more than 1,700 others

missing, and flattened entire towns and villages in the central Philippines. “It was like we were not hit by the typhoon, like Yolanda never came,” one girl told Manila’s TV5 Television, describing her feelings on seeing her idol. Typhoon Haiyan is known locally as Yolanda. Bieber took a quick walk around the school and checked a temporary learning space that was packed with about 300 children, including some from the local neighborhood, before moving to an outdoor stage to sing, said Kate Donovan, a spokeswoman for UNICEF.

Mary Barra, General Motors senior vice president of global product development, speaks in January at the debut of the 2013 Buick Encore at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. General Motors’ board has named Barra the company’s next CEO.

GM names Mary Barra its CEO She becomes first woman to head car company By DEE-ANN DURBIN and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press DETROIT – General Motors picked Mary Barra, its product development chief and a 33-year company veteran, as its next CEO. She will become the first woman head of a major U.S. car company. GM said Tuesday that Barra, 51, will replace Dan Akerson on Jan. 15. Akerson, 65, chairman and CEO, moved up his retirement plans by several months because his wife, Karin, is battling an advanced form of cancer. “I need to spend all my time and energy in fighting this disease with my wife,” Akerson said on a conference call with reporters. Akerson had originally planned to stay into the spring or summer. Since February 2011, Barra has held what many say is the most important job at GM – senior vice president for global product development. Barra, who joined GM in 1980, is currently in charge of design, engineering and quality for all of GM’s vehicles across the globe and has shepherded most of the company’s recent new vehicle introductions. Under her command, GM rolled out brawny new full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Chevrolet Impala fullsize car, which earned the highest score for a sedan in testing by Con-

sumer Reports magazine. Its quality scores also rose in surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. She also led development of the new Chevrolet Corvette and several new Cadillac models. Akerson took over GM in September 2010, as the company prepared to go public about a year after emerging from bankruptcy protection. During his tenure, GM has made billions of dollars in profits and is sitting on $26.8 billion in cash. Its profit margins in North America are a healthy 9 percent. He and Barra have revamped GM’s lineup of cars and trucks. On Monday, GM officially shed the derisive moniker of “Government Motors” when the government sold the last of the GM shares it inherited as part of a bailout in 2008 and 2009. Barra still needs to trim GM’s costs and win over buyers in markets such as India and South America. One big step in getting there: producing more vehicles that can be sold in multiple markets, such as the Chevrolet Cruze compact car. The choice of Barra was unanimous, Akerson said, because of her breadth of experience, management and people skills, and her understanding of GM’s operations. The GM board considered only internal candidates. “This is an executive who has a vision of where she wants to take the

Number of job openings reaches 5-year high WASHINGTON – U.S. employers advertised the most job openings in more than five years in October, and the number of people quitting also reached a five-year high. The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings rose 1 percent to a seasonally adjusted 3.93 million. That is the highest figure since May 2008, three months after the Great Recession began. The number of workers who quit rose 2.5 percent to 2.39 million, the most since October 2008.

Tech firms vie to protect personal data, profits By MARCY GORDON and MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Even as Silicon Valley speaks out against the U.S. government’s surveillance methods, technology companies are turning a handsome profit by mining personal data and peering into people’s online habits. The industry’s profit machine has become tarnished by revelations that the National Security Agency trolls deep into the everyday lives of Web surfers. As a result, companies including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are becoming more aggressive in their attempts to counter any perception that they voluntarily give the government access to users’ email and other sensitive information. Microsoft’s general counsel, Brad Smith, warned in a blog post last week that the U.S. government’s online surveillance efforts “threaten to seriously undermine confidence in the security and privacy of online communications.” “Indeed, government snooping potentially now constitutes an ‘advanced persistent threat,’ alongside sophisticated malware and cyber-at-

The industry’s latest salvo came Monday with the release of an open letter to President Barack

Obama and the introduction of a new website calling for more stringent controls on electronic espionage. The public relations maneuver escalates a battle that Silicon Valley has waged since early June, when media reports based on internal documents revealed the NSA had fashioned an elaborate system to vacuum up some of the user data that U.S. technology companies collect. “The entire tech industry has been implicated and is now facing a global backlash,” said Daniel Castro, a senior analyst for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington D.C. think tank. As part of the tech industry’s crusade, companies are also going to court and to Congress in an effort to force the government to de-classify details of its online investigations. They believe data will show that, in the past five years, information turned over to the government under court order has only affected a small fraction of the more than 1 billion people who use their products.

Ban on high-risk bank trades approved

Wholesale stockpiles grow 1.4 percent WASHINGTON – U.S. wholesale businesses boosted their stockpiles in October by the most in two years as their sales rose sharply, encouraging signs for economic growth in the final three months of the year. Wholesale stockpiles grew 1.4 percent in October, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. That’s nearly triple the 0.5 percent gain in September and the biggest monthly gain since October 2011. Sales at the wholesale level increased 1 percent in October, the most in five months. Sales rose 0.8 percent in September.

The rule still provides some exemptions. At its heart, the rule seeks to ban banks from almost all proprietary trading. The practice of trading for their own profit has been very lucrative for big banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. The rule also limits banks’ investments in hedge funds. Still, the final version allows proprietary trading when it is done to facilitate buying and selling investment for customers. That is known as market-making. Also exempted from the ban are cases when a bank underwrites a securities offering, and for trading in U.S. government, state and local bonds. The other three agencies voting for the rule include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The largest U.S. banks – those with $50 billion or more in assets – will

By MARCY GORDON The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. banks will be barred in most cases from trading for their own profit under a federal rule approved Tuesday. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. each unanimously voted to adopt the so-called Volcker Rule, taking a major step toward preventing extreme risk-taking on Wall Street that helped trigger the 2008 financial crisis. Three other regulators were expected to follow suit Tuesday. Congress instructed regulators to draft the rule under the 2010 financial overhaul law. The rule was agreed to after three years of drafts, debates and lobbying by Wall Street banks. The final version is stricter than many had expected and are intended to prevent risky trading that required taxpayer-funded bailouts during the crisis.

Lululemon founder stepping down as chair NEW YORK – Lululemon Athletica Inc. is hoping new faces at the top will help it bounce back from a series of embarrassing issues that have hurt its image. The upscale yoga clothing maker, based in Vancouver, announced that founder Chip Wilson is stepping down as chairman after raising ire with his comments about the body types of potential buyers of the retailer’s yoga pants. The company also named a new CEO. Wilson, who founded the company in 1998 and still exerted a strong influence, will retain his board seat. Christine Day, who had been CEO since 2008 but announced her intentions to leave in June, will be succeeded by Laurent Potdevin. Potdevin, a 20 year-industry veteran, was most recently CEO of Toms Shoes. The management changes come as the maker of yoga clothing is trying to recover from a series of quality issues and other embarrassments that have threatened to alienate its loyal followers Those devotees, willing to shell out $100 for a pair of yoga pants, helped Lululemon ring up $1.4 billion in sales last year.

be required to fully comply with the terms of the rule by July 2015. Other banks will have until 2016 to comply. The biggest banks will also be required to have compliance programs approved by their boards and senior executives. Banks will have to begin reporting on the status of those programs starting next year. The banks’ CEOs also will have to certify in writing to regulators that the banks have strong processes in place to ensure compliance. The rule is named after Paul Volcker, a former Fed chairman who was an adviser to President Barack Obama during the financial crisis. The rule “has the important objective of limiting excessive risk-taking by depository institutions,” current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in a statement. Big banks had reaped huge profits by taking extraordinary risks. When those trades went bad during the cri-

sis – especially after a wave of mortgage defaults – many of these banks were on the verge of collapsing. Most survived only because the government rescued them with taxpayerfunded bailouts. The big Wall Street banks lobbied strenuously against the Volcker Rule. They argued that the ban could prevent them from market-making on behalf of customers or limiting risks. Drafting the rule became very complicated. Regulators found it difficult to identify what constitutes proprietary trading in a bank’s day-to-day operations. For example, banks often engage in market-making. Then there’s what’s called portfolio hedging, when the bank makes trades on its own account to hedge, or offset, the risks of a broad investment portfolio – as opposed to the risks of individual investments. It can be hard for regulators to distinguish when market-making and portfolio hedging cross over into proprietary trading.

Barra among 4 internal candidates Spying could hurt business will succeed Akerson as chairman. Solso, a GM board member since June 2012, is the former chairman and CEO of engine maker Cummins Inc. Barra started with GM as an electrical engineering co-op student when she attended what is now Kettering University in nearby Flint. She previously ran GM’s human resources operations. Before that she was a plant manager and executive director of engineering. She holds a master’s degree in business administration from Stanford University. Barra was among four internal candidates for the position, including Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann, North American President Mark Reuss and Vice Chairman Steve Girsky. Ammann, 41, was named GM president and will manage its regional operations worldwide. Reuss, 50, replaces Barra as head of product development and purchasing. Girsky, 51, will become a senior adviser until he leaves the company in April. He’ll stay on the board. Reuss will be replaced by Alan Batey, 50, as North American president. The change at the top comes a day after the U.S. government sold the last of its stake in GM. The government got 912 million GM shares in exchange for a $49.5 billion bailout. The government ended up getting $39 billion of its money back, leaving taxpayers short by $10.5 billion. Detroit’s auto industry power structure faces a year of change at the top. Ford CEO Alan Mulally is in the running to lead Microsoft Corp. and could leave before his planned departure sometime after the end of 2014.

• GM Continued from page E2 organization,” he said, adding that Barra took over product development when it was in chaos not long after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection. Akerson hinted at the move earlier this year when he told a women’s business group in Detroit that a “car gal” would run one of the Detroit Three automakers someday soon. But Akerson made it clear Tuesday that Barra was picked for her background and accomplishments, not because of her gender. “Mary’s one of the most gifted executives I’ve met in my career,” he said. “She was picked for her talent, not for her gender, not for political correctness.” Barra, who grew up near Pontiac, Mich., is the daughter of a die maker who retired from GM after 39 years. GM’s previous two CEOs, Akerson and Ed Whitacre, came from the telecommunications and finance industries and lacked the auto industry experience that Barra has, said Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. “There’s nobody with more years of honest ‘car-guy’ credentials than she has,” Gordon said. “She’s the one to do the breakthrough.” Women have held top positions in auto marketing design and engineering, but never made it to the CEO spot, Gordon said. “The fact that none of them has run a major car company makes no sense,” he said. The GM board decided to separate the positions of chairman and CEO. Barra will get a board seat, but director Theodore (Tim) Solso

• DATA Continued from page E1 At stake is the trust of massive online audiences that attract digital advertising. As companies collect personal data and learn more about each user’s interests and habits, advertising becomes easier to sell. The marketing campaigns are particularly important to Google, Yahoo and Facebook, all of which make most of their money from ads. Although Microsoft and Apple make billions from the sale of software and devices, the two companies are also hitching their fortunes to Internet services. “We are now entering a new phase of the Internet that I call ‘data wars,’” said Ethan Oberman, CEO of Internet privacy specialist SpiderOak. “It’s all about who can amass the most personal data because that data has become so valuable that whoever accumulates the most is going to win. If these companies are going to engage in these data wars, the security and privacy of this data becomes of critical significance.” The battle pits U.S. national security agencies against an industry that has been a bright

spot in the country’s dreary economy. More than $1.3 trillion in shareholder wealth is tied up in Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Yahoo alone, and the companies collectively employ more than 243,000 people while running services that create thousands of other jobs. In a study for his think tank, Castro predicted that the U.S. government’s online surveillance will divert $21.5 billion to $35 billion in revenue from U.S. technology companies that host services over the Internet and sell remote data storage. The estimate, which covers the next three years, is based on the assumption that many companies outside the U.S. will buy services in other countries rather than risk copies of their data being turned over to the U.S. government. The prediction doesn’t include possible losses in online ad revenue. Without quantifying the company’s potential losses, a Google lawyer recently warned a Senate subcommittee that the government’s online espionage could have “severe unintended consequences,” including increased business costs, less data security and alienated Web surfers.

Elizabeth Gaskell, a 19th-century English novelist and short-story writer, said, “How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly!” At the bridge table, how easy it usually is to see the winning line after going down from playing wrongly. This deal is a good example of that. West leads the club queen against four spades. How should South proceed? A less experienced player follows “rules” and has trouble spotting when they are not appropriate. Here, declarer would see nine trumps and think “nine never” -- do not inesse for the queen; instead, play for the drop. But when the queen does not appear and he turns to diamonds, East ruffs the third round and shifts to the heart queen, giving the defenders one spade and three hearts. Let’s analyze this deal without using rules. If spades are 4-0, especially if West has them all, South is in dificulty. But if the trump split is more favorable, he is sitting prettier. Outside spades, declarer has six winners: four dia-

monds and two clubs. So he needs only four spade tricks, not ive. Next, he can lose four tricks only if East gets on play and leads a high heart through South’s king, with West having the ace. Then declarer could lose one spade and three hearts. It is time for an avoidance play. After winning the irst trick, declarer should play a spade to dummy’s ace and follow with a spade to his jack. Here, that brings home an overtrick. But even if the inesse were to lose, the heart king and the contract would be safe with West on lead.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Prepare to take on whatever adventure comes your way. Explore new avenues and meet people who share your concerns and interests. You’ll have an edge over any competition with your willingness to jump in and take a chance. Initiate change -- it will do you good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You’ll attract attention with your unpredictable nature today. You may have a lot of ideas, but make sure they are practical before you brag about them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Act quickly to help friends or relatives, but don’t make hasty decisions regarding an emotional situation that has you perplexed. Being budget-conscious will save the day. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your insight and knowledge, coupled with life experience, will help you bring about positive change. Try to alter your current position if it will help you earn more. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Find a way to help your community. The people you meet and the things you talk about will give you something to consider. Don’t take action, but do reconsider your next move. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Emotional mishaps will result if you overreact or let someone push you around. Step back and remove yourself from any situation that appears to be unstable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make an effort when it comes to your personal life as well as your appearance. Social plans should be made. Reuniting with old friends will lead to new beginnings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t share secret information. A partnership will change your life. Talk about your plans, but don’t exaggerate or send the wrong message regarding what you can do or are willing to offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Refrain from overreacting, even if someone does present you with an unexpected, emotionally charged problem. Patience will help you bypass a difficult situation. Acceptance is the key to emotional stability. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Spending time with colleagues, peers or classmates will prove enlightening. Join in the spirit of the season, but don’t go overboard financially. Be generous emotionally, not financially. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A cautious approach is a wise choice. Don’t let anyone railroad you into making a snap decision or purchase that you aren’t sure about. Problems at home must be addressed and resolved. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Stick to a budget and refrain from taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Discuss the way you feel and what you want and plan to do. Consistency will help you achieve harmony. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Make plans to get together with someone you don’t get to see often. Catching up will help you make a personal decision that will have big repercussions.
