COUNTY’S LATINO POPULATION EXPECTED TO GROW By JEFF ENGLEHARDT • jenglehardt@shawmedia.com

andra Gonzalez’s story is becoming more common in McHenry County. Gonzalez, who left Mexico decades ago, came here 13 years ago because of the job opportunities and safety the area provided. Her husband was offered a job producing signs and banners, and the city of McHenry was a safer place to raise her then-newborn daughter, she said. “There has been a change and there is more diversity,” Gonzalez said of the increasing Latino population. “The community has become more accepting of Hispanic people … but there are still challenges.” Census data show the Latino population will grow. As the white population – which never has dipped below 90 percent in the county – gets older, the Latino population is getting younger. The Latino population in McHenry Coun-

“The community has become more accepting of Hispanic people ... but there are still challenges.” Sandra Gonzalez McHenry resident

ty is significantly ahead of other minority groups, with more than 35,249 people – about an 80 percent increase from 2000 to 2010. The white population accounts for 90.1 percent of the county’s 308,760 residents, which is down from the 93.9 percent in 2000. The decline likely will continue as 42.4 percent of the white population is age 45 or older, and 84.2 percent of the Latino population is age 44 or younger, including 51.2 percent that is

24 years old or younger. The median age for whites is 40.5 in McHenry County, while it is 24.7 for Latinos. In the most recent countywide, comprehensive Community Health Study, the report showed the Latino population was the foremost group in need of more community attention because of its size, barriers they confront in living here and array of services needed. The study, facilitated by the Health Systems Research at University of Illinois-Rockford campus, is released every four years and combines interviews with community leaders, an online community survey and research into demographic and social trends to identify needs and improvements. The study showed the dramatic shift in population trends has not led to many societal

What’s changing about the population of McHenry County and how are we adjusting to population needs?

How have social service agencies been changing delivery models and what needs are they trying to fill?

Is the housing market well suited for a population that’s getting older?

What are local educators doing to give students who aren’t native English speakers the best chance to succeed?

Are the shifts in ethnic diversity being reflected in local elected offices across McHenry County?

As Monday’s election petition deadline arrived, a flurry of filings occurred, which helped lead to some contested races in the spring election scheduled for April 7. In the municipal elections, contested races are set for Spring Grove, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Fox River Grove, Prairie Grove, Harvard, Huntley, Oakwood Hills and Woodstock. In Algonquin, five people have signed up to run for the three trustee positions up for grabs. Incumbents Debby Sosine, Jim Steigert and John Spella will be joined on the ballot by Kerry Inside Stallard and Sandra K. Robertson.

The three incumbents Russ Ruzanski, Frank Covone and Ray Bogdanowski will be on the ballot, along with Bill Dustin, who unsuccessfully ran for village president in 2013, former Village Board member and County Board member Paula Yensen and Tyna Zarecky. In Huntley, three trustees spots are up, with five people appearing on the ballot. Niko Kanakaris and Harry Leopold are the incumbents. Pam Fender was a trustee until 2013, when she decided not to seek re-election and ran for Grafton Township supervisor instead. She lost in the general election. Tim Hoeft and Darci Chandler also will appear on the Huntley ballot. In Oakwood Hills, only Paul Smith is running for village president, a seat previously held by Melanie Funk. However, with three trustee seats up for election, six people will appear on the ballot: Kristina Zahorik, Kerry Leigh, Patrick M. Riley, Chad Rider, Mary Beth Salvo and Mark Wise. A name that will not appear on the spring ballot in Cary is Village Trustee Karen Lukasik. Lukasik initially said she was not going to run, and then decided she would run after encouragement from community members. She began collecting signatures, but did not file petitions at Village Hall by the Monday deadline, Village Administrator Chris Clark said. Some school board races also will be crowded. Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155 has 11 people running for the school board’s three seats up for grabs. Karen Whitman is the only incumbent school board member set to appear on the ballot. The school district has been involved in the controversy over a set of bleachers at Crystal Lake South High School.

Jury duty raise could mean financial hit for McHenry County By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A new state law raising jury pay to slightly above a pittance could mean big budget headaches for McHenry County. Senate Bill 3075, signed into law Friday by outgoing Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, requires counties to pay jurors a minimum of $25 for the first day of service and $50 each additional day. McHenry County jurors presently get $5 a day or $12.50 if they are

seated and hearing testimony, plus mileage. Quinn signed the bill over vociferous objections from larger counties that the mandate would further drain their financial resources. County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller urged Quinn in a Dec. 8 letter to veto the bill, concluding that it would increase the county’s costs by 425 percent. “Our county will not be able to handle these extra costs without cuts in other county government services. We have no additional rev-

enues to cover this new unfunded mandate,” Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, said. The bill, filed by Rep. Kelly Burke, D-Evergreen Park, passed through the General Assembly earlier this month in the last days of the fall veto session after the Nov. 4

election. The law, which does not take effect until June 1, attempts to defray some of the increased costs by ending the mileage reimbursement requirement and cutting the sizes of civil juries in half from 12 people to six. For McHenry County, which contains the 22nd Judicial District, the new rate translates to a significant increase, Court Administrator Dan Wallis said. The county paid out $58,950 in jury pay last year for 9,825 juror

days, not counting $29,411 in mileage at 10 cents a mile. Given that about half of jurors serve at least two days during a weeklong jury service –which Gottemoller wrote was a “very conservative” estimate – he estimated the county would have paid out $309,488 more last year had the impending rates been in place. Gottemoller, a zoning attorney, also wrote that the halving of civil juries will have little effect on the overall cost.

Topinka loss a big loss for Rauner There’s little doubt late Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka would’ve continued her straight-talking ways during a Gov.elect Bruce Rauner administration. Topinka was “good copy” for reporters. When she criticized a budget or a fiscal position, we listened. Other statehouse denizens respected her fiscal smarts, as well. If she attacked a proposal, legislators and everyone else under the dome took note. Rauner showed great deference to Topinka after the election, officing in her statehouse suite and giving her chief of staff the authority to hire most of his new employees. I don’t think there’s any question that he grew to truly admire the quirky redhead. But Topinka had called for a far more gradual reduction to the state’s 2011 income tax hike than Gov.-elect Rauner has said he wants. A particularly brutal package of budget cuts or one-time gimmicks proposed by Rauner next year wouldn’t have gone down too well with her. Rauner would’ve had to take her opinion into account before unveiling his budget, or suffer the consequences afterward. She also was much more liberal than Rauner admits to. Topinka was expected to help build bridges between Rauner and organized labor, as well as to Democrats and left of center groups

LOTTERY

CAPITOL EFFECTS Rich Miller she worked with over the years and who have not yet become comfortable with the idea of a Republican governor. Yes, many of us lost a friend this month, but we also lost an experienced, respected politico who could counsel the new and inexperienced governor about how to be a more effective leader, and one who could help nudge him, publicly or privately, to stay on a more humane and responsible fiscal path. And with Topinka’s post-election passing, I don’t see any of Rauner’s fellow Republicans out there with the power or credibility who also will have the guts to stand up to the guy. Some holes can be patched here and there. Both Republican state legislative leaders have ties to unions, for example. Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno is a former social worker who has championed human services causes. Neither of those leaders, however, have yet to show much independence from Rauner, whose money had a major effect on House races this year and could have an equally big effect on 2016 Senate races.

For instance, Gov. Pat Quinn, Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton forcefully have argued for a special election so that Rauner’s pick for Topinka’s replacement won’t serve beyond a 2016 special election. A four-year appointment by Rauner, they all argue, is just downright undemocratic. When the topic was first broached, Rauner claimed such an election would be unconstitutional, but the Illinois Constitution clearly says the appointee serves until the successor is elected and qualified “as may be provided by law.” The next day, the two legislative leaders, Radogno and House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, released what higher-ups in the attorney general’s office derisively dismissed as a “half-baked” legal opinion about why a special session would be unconstitutional. The opinion deliberately left out crucial words in important constitutional passages, defied logic by claiming “as may be provided by law” passage didn’t allow the Legislature to actually do anything, and ignored committee reports from and debate at the state’s Constitutional Convention which made it abundantly clear the Legislature has the authority to act. Not only did that opinion bode ill for the incoming Rauner administration

(with one person at the attorney general’s office saying it reminded her of Rod Blagojevich, whose lawyers would often pull legal arguments out of thin air to counter the attorney general), it also showed an astonishing servility by the two GOP legislative leaders. I don’t know whether Comptroller Topinka would’ve wanted a special election to replace her in 2016, rather than allow her successor to serve four years until after the regularly scheduled 2018 election. None of us do. She had her partisan leanings, so she might be wary of holding a special election in a presidential election year, when Democrats do much better than off years. But she was also a small “d” Democrat and a four-year appointment sure doesn’t feel democratic to many folks. I do know, however, that Topinka never would’ve signed her name to an obviously bogus legal “argument” like the one released last week. “There’s a hole in the hearts of the people of this state,” Quinn said at Topinka’s memorial service last week. That’s true. But there’s also now a gaping hole in the government which assumes power next month.

ARDC won’t continue probe Declines to act further after investigating complaint against Casciaro prosecutors By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The state oversight committee in charge of disciplining lawyers declined to further investigate the McHenry County prosecutors who tried Mario Casciaro on murder charges, after a complaint was filed by one of the state’s witnesses. In documents to the Attorney Registration and Disci-

plinary Commission, Jacob Kepple asked that the agency investigate prosecutors Michael Combs and Patrick Kenneally for what Kepple said was conduct that was “unethical, dishonest and potentially illegal.” The ARDC sought responses from the prosecutors, and ultimately declined to investigate further. Kepple testified three times for the state in its murder

case against Mario Casciaro – once before a grand jury and at both trials. Casciaro in November 2013 was sentenced to 26-years in prison for his role in the disappearance and Mario presumed death Casciaro of 17-year-old Brian Carrick. Carrick was last seen in a Johnsburg gro-

cery store in 2002. In ARDC documents, Kepple said he was motivated to file a grievance against Combs and Kenneally after another witness for the prosecution did an about-face on his testimony. Shane Lamb’s testimony was used to convict Casciaro of first-degree murder. At Casciaro’s trials, Lamb said he likely threw the punch that killed Carrick and that he was acting at Casciaro’s behest.

Lamb was supposed to collect a drug debt from Carrick, but things got out of hand, Lamb has said on the witness stand. Lamb now claims his trial testimony was a lie, and that Combs coached him on what to say to implicate Casciaro. In a sworn affidavit, Lamb said neither he nor Casciaro had anything to do with Carrick’s disappearance.

The village of Lake in the Hills started a T-Hangar incentive program in order to get people to house their airplanes at the airport. That incentive program runs through May.

Incentives offered at airport Village program aiming to fill vacant hangars By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village has started a new T-Hangar incentive program at the Lake in the Hills airport in order to bring in new tenants. The program will be similar to a program the airport ran in 2012 and 2013 aimed at filling vacancies in the village-owned hangars. Current airport tenants who refer new tenants who enter into a one-year lease will receive a finder’s fee equivalent to one month’s rent, which is $302. The finder’s fee is provided as credit to the existing tenant’s account, said airport manager Michael Peranich. New tenants who enter into a one-year lease would receive the first three months of rent for free and then pay the full monthly rate, Peranich added. There would be no option to end the lease early. The incentive program also includes a 10-cent-per-gallon

Existing tenants renewing their leases would not be eligible for the discount program, according to a memo written by Public Works Director Fred Mullard to Village Board members. The incentive program runs through May 31. Adding one tenant would lead to a net

revenue gain of at least $2,400, Mullard wrote. Nine of the 10 spaces in the east T-Hangar are rented, and the west T-Hangar is mostly occupied by non-aeronautical storage, Mullard wrote. “Although most of the west T-hangar building is occupied with non-aeronautical storage, priority is given to aeronautical uses,” Mullard wrote. “The ... incentive program is aimed at bringing in more aeronauti-

cal storage.” The village also has started a bulk fuel discount program. In July 2014, the village took over fuel sales at the airport. “Although the airport maintains some of the lowest-priced fuel in northern Illinois, fuel sales over the past few years have been trending downward,” Mullard wrote in a village memo.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday found what appeared to be an explosive device in the ground in unincorporated Marengo, an official said. The sheriff’s office was called about 4:30 p.m. after some metal detector hobbyists came across what they thought looked like an explosive device in the ground on the 2900 block of Northwest Road, Lt. Jim Wagner said. The Kane County Bomb Unit was called once McHenry County authorities arrived to the location and established the need, Wagner said. The bomb unit destroyed the device on the scene, where Wagner said no other such devices are believed to be present. “To the best of our knowledge, it looked like a legitimate device,” he said. “And Kane County did, too, enough so that they took care of it on scene.” Neighbor in the area Dale Bartholomew said he was celebrating Christmas with family when he was made aware of a situation outside. Bartholomew praised the diligence of the sheriff’s office in keeping him apprised of the situation as it was happening. “Two McHenry County officers came over, knocked on our door and said there would be some activity,” he said, adding officers made incremental visits to keep the family updated. “They were absolutely professional about it, not ratcheting up more excitement than need be.”

Wallin: Population change faster than social change Illinois pay near bottom compared to other states • DIVERSITY Continued from page A1 changes that should follow, Carlos Acosta said. Acosta, who emigrated from Colombia when he was 4 years old, came to McHenry County in 2000 and has dedicated the majority of his 14 years in the area to helping the Latino community. The former executive director of the now-defunct McHenry County Latino Coalition said instead of countywide changes, it is hit-or-miss when it comes to organizations and companies adjusting to the increasing Latino population. “It is very sporadic. There has never really been any vision or plan for integration at the county level,” Acosta said of recognizing the growing population. “It depends on individual employers, towns and agencies. Some I have worked with are incredibly accommodating; others have a notorious reputation for mistreatment.” Patricia Wallin, who also emigrated from Latin America when she was a child, said there still are basic barriers, such as a lack of bilingual providers, a lack of awareness to cultural differences and virtually no representation in public bodies.

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

America, 8, hugs stuffed animals Thursday during an after-school program at the Garden Quarter Neighborhood Resource Center in McHenry. Wallin, who has provided social services in Chicago and McHenry County, said the population change is much faster than the social change. “There is a lot to be done as far as representation,” Wallin said of the lack of Latinos on public boards. “It takes time, but I’m hopeful it will come.” Those societal changes could come as the population continues to age, posing another set of challenges for McHenry County. Between 2000 and 2010, the 45-to-64 age group increased 58.7 percent, and the 65-to-74 age group increased 63.5 percent. Meanwhile, the 25-to-44

age group and those 5 years old and younger decreased by about 6 percent each. The median age in the county also rose from 34 years old to 38, which is above the national average. With the 45-to-64 age group now the county’s largest at 28.4 percent of the population, Bette Schoenholtz, executive director of Senior Service Associates Inc., said it is important to make sure older individuals have access to healthy aging programs. While it always is a challenge to meet the needs to a population that ranges from late 50s to more than 100 years

old, Schoenholtz said McHenry County is one of the most equipped areas to handle the change. She said residents have shown a commitment to seniors with a special tax that was approved to provide services for that population. “I think it is the premier place in Illinois as far as supporting older adults,” Schoenholtz said of McHenry County. “The emphasis now has to be on the major public policy issue of how to keep people well.” Although the younger population is decreasing, more of the Latino population is now being born within the county. According to Census data, 70.2 percent of foreign-born residents entered the county before 2000. Residents such as Gonzalez’s daughter, 14-yearold Karen Gonzalez, said that has helped create more opportunities. The McHenry High School West student said schools especially have added more services for the Latino population since she first started, and she is more prepared to pursue college. “Even the teachers are able to help and talk to me more,” Karen Gonzalez said of the improvements from her elementary school days. “They do more to help parents understand, too.”

• RAISE Continued from page A1 His letter noted that only 16 of the 70 cases that went to trial last year were civil cases. “As for the civil jury reduction to six jurors from 12, there would be a small savings; however very few civil matters are disposed of by jury trial. The vast majority of jury trials are criminal in nature,” Gottemoller wrote. Although the new rate does not take effect for another five months, Wallis said his office will immediately begin a full analysis of where costs can be cut. The County Board in December 2011 approved a savings measure that decreased jury pay and mileage in exchange for releasing unpicked jurors after two days. “We will be evaluating absolutely everything concerning the jury practice as to what we can do differently, what we can streamline,

what we can do better, and try to minimize the impact of what the governor and the state legislature has put upon us,” Wallis said. State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi said the state has made a decision and passed a law, and that his office and the courts will abide by it. “I believe it’s our civic duty to serve on a jury, but the legislators have decided [jurors] should be paid more,” Bianchi said. Pay for Illinois jurors is near the bottom compared to other states. While about half of U.S. states require six jurors in civil cases, critics allege that smaller juries mean more inconsistent verdicts and the likelihood that juries can be more easily dominated by bigger personalities. Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, was the sole McHenry County lawmaker to vote in favor of the bill. McHenry County’s three senators and four other representatives opposed it.

County does not have bomb unit 3 school board seats up DEVICE for election in District 26 •Continued from page A3 • FILINGS Continued from page A1 McHenry High School District 156 also has a heavily contested field. Eight people, including incumbents Steve Bellmore and Tim Byers, are running for three seats on the school board. In Cary District 26, there are three school board seats

up for election. However, only one person, incumbent Scott Coffey, has filed to run for election. In recent years when the district was going through budget cuts, elections for seats on the school board have been contested. However, the district has been able to bring back dedicated teachers for noncore subjects, among other things.

Wagner, who was not one of the responders Sunday, did not have any details about what the device looked like. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation with regard to

why the device was there and who is responsible, while the Kane County Sheriff’s Office will be handling the investigation on the technical side in regard to the device itself. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office does not have a bomb squad and calls the Kane County Bomb Unit for situations like this.

reached Monday. “It’s not credible, it’s not worthy of belief. If I did what Shane says I did, I would be disbarred. The fact that the ARDC exonerated me shows there was no proof to what they’re saying.” Kepple could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday. Lamb was granted full immunity from murder charges and a reduced sentence on a drug charge for his testimony against Casciaro. Lamb is

currently in McHenry County Jail awaiting a January trial on unrelated weapons charges. Casciaro’s case is pending an appeal. Also in McHenry County court, his defense attorney asked that some evidence be DNA tested. Prosecutors agreed. Combs is chief of the criminal division at the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office. Kenneally, who also was cleared, has since left the state’s attorneys office.

Bulk fuel discount program to begin Jan. 1 • AIRPORT In order to encourage more fuel sales at the airport, the village has instituted a bulk fuel discount program that will run from Jan. 1 through July 31.

The discount program is an attempt to encourage additional fuel purchases by appealing to corporate aircraft customers. The discount will apply to full-service Jet-A fuel. Under the program, customers will have to buy 1,000 gallons a month to be eligi-

ble for a 15-cent-per-gallon discount, Mullard wrote. Customers would receive a rebate check at the end of the month. Even after the discount, the airport would make 40 cents per gallon of Jet-A fuel sold from full service, Mullard wrote.

Inventory of homes for sale in county increased • SALES Continued from page A3 notes that “activity for one month can sometimes look extreme due to small sample size.” Countywide, real estate prices remain below peak levels. The inventory of homes for sale in McHenry County in November increased 4.9 percent to 2,229, up from 2,124 in November 2013. And homes spent more time on the market last month. The number

of days on market until sale increased 13.7 percent to 83, compared with 73 days in November 2013. Year-to-date, the number of days on market has declined to 77, a drop of 8.3 percent from 84 days during the same period in 2013.

SKETCH VIEW

NIU, Illinois football go bowling It’s beginning to look a lot like bowl season, and fans of two college football teams from Illinois are getting about as excited as kids on Christmas morning. We’ve gotten accustomed to bowl game invitations for our neighbors in DeKalb County, the Northern Illinois University Huskies. This year, the University of Illinois will join them on the bowl circuit. NIU’s game comes first. The Huskies, 11-2 and winners of the Mid-American Conference championship, will play at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Boca Raton Bowl against the Marshall Thundering Herd, sporting a 12-1 record as champion of Conference USA. Then at noon Friday, the Fighting Illini, with their 6-6 record, will play in Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl against Louisiana Tech, 8-5 and runner-up in Conference USA, having lost to Marshall (NIU’s bowl foe) by only three points in the title game. Several story lines kindle our interest. For all of NIU’s football success in recent years – the Huskies have won 11 or more games for five consecutive years – the team has a twogame losing streak in bowl games. NIU last won a bowl game against Arkansas State in the 2012 GoDaddy.com Bowl. Prairie Ridge High School alum Sean Folliard, a sophomore linebacker on NIU’s defense, has played in all 13 of NIU’s games in 2014. He has 58 tackles this season and is tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries. As for Illinois, a win against Louisiana Tech would give Illinois its first winning record since 2011. McHenry High School graduate Jake Howe is a senior defensive tackle for the Fighting Illini. He’s played in all 12 games this season. We wish the Huskies and Fighting Illini success as they go bowling this week.

ANOTHER VIEW

A Bush bonus that won’t die The best that can be said for the “tax extenders” bill, approved in the waning days of the 113th Congress, is that it could have been much worse. After the November election, House and Senate leaders attempted to make all 55 special-interest tax breaks in the bill permanent instead of renewing them on a short-term basis, as per usual. The White House shot down that idea, which would have added more than $400 billion to the federal deficit over the next decade. Finally, all concerned settled on a $42 billion oneyear renewal of the breaks, retroactive to Jan. 1, so that taxpayers can claim them on their 2014 returns – to be followed by a resumption of debate on broader tax reform in 2015. The bill is a pastiche of economic nonsense, and no provision illustrates this better than the so-called “bonus depreciation” rules for businesses. The tax code has long permitted companies to deduct gradually the costs of new equipment, buildings and the like; the sound economic principle is that big-ticket items produce output over time, so the expense of acquiring them should be “matched” with that revenue stream. Bonus depreciation allows companies to claim a much higher than usual percentage of those deductions up front. Historically, it has been used to fight recessions, on the theory that injecting cash into corporate coffers enables businesses to maintain capital spending. The current bonus depreciation law began in President George W. Bush’s 2008 stimulus package and has been adjusted and renewed periodically under President Obama; it allows companies to deduct half the cost of new assets immediately. Alas, several economic studies have shown that, in practice, bonus depreciation is “not very effective” as a boost to economic growth, in the words of a recent Congressional Research Service report – and probably less effective than other tax cuts or spending increases that have since expired. Tax break or no, many firms won’t invest at times of weak demand for their products; in any case, bonus depreciation affects only one incentive in what, for many companies, may be a highly complex tax-planning scenario. Whatever stimulative effect bonus depreciation has, though, depends on its being both temporary and timely – i.e., that companies understand it will be available during recessions and only then. Extending the measure now amounts to a gratuitous handout; indeed, it’s been decreasingly necessary ever since the “Great Recession” officially ended in June 2009. Since the proposed one-year extension, which would cost $5 billion, is retroactive, it actually amounts to a windfall benefit for investment decisions corporations have already made. Bonus depreciation provides only modest benefit as a temporary stimulus measure and none at all as a de facto permanent part of the code, which is what the extenders are. If Congress does nothing else to the tax code next year, it must purge it of this provision. The Washington Post

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Who do you trust? To the Editor: Do you trust politicians you elect to spend money like it’s coming out of their pocket? Do you trust politicians to fulfill the peace-and-prosperity-if-youelect-me pledge? Do you trust government to solve all the problems it assumes are best handled by government? Do you trust government to ever get smaller or want less? Do you trust the monopoly of public education of K-12 to do the job best? Do you trust the path to a college education at all costs to be a panacea for the future? Do you trust your wealth to bring you happiness? Do you trust marriage that is just a temporary contract? Do you trust marriage that denies the birth of children? Do you trust renaming every moral value into “whatever?” Or do you trust what the founding fathers of our country proclaimed: “In God we trust.” This would be a great restart. Dick Wantuch Johnsburg

‘Night before Christmas’ redone To the Editor: ’Twere the days before Christmas across Capitol Hill. Incumbents sought refuge from the political chill. So Barack in his kerchief, young Michelle in her cap had just settled in for a quick lame duck nap. When what to their wondrous eyes did appear, but Bob Cratchit McConnell and nine freshmen

reindeer. “We slam-dunked the midterms. Your policies lost. The people have spoken, rejecting the cost. “Health care’s a shambles. Illegals have won. Your executive orders? The founders would shun.” So he called as he flew, “Be all of good cheer. We’ll be grilling young Gruber in the Senate next year.” William G. Parrot McHenry

Law enforcement recognition To the Editor: It is a difficult time for law enforcement. Critics abound, and serious problems do exist in some jurisdictions. Numbers vary, but according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the FBI, there were about 780,000 sworn full-time law enforcement officers in the U.S. in 2012. The great majority of these officers are well trained, professional and committed to protect and defend our citizens. Thank you to the McHenry Country Sheriff’s Office and the officers who were involved recently with the problem in our neighborhood. They went out of their way to keep us informed and safe. Each officer we had contact with was professional and polite. We were glad they were there, and cannot offer enough thanks and praise to them and the sheriff’s department. Their job is dangerous and difficult. We wish all of them and their families a blessed and Merry Christmas. We pray for their safety. Dale Bartholomew Marengo

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers. We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to editing

Bad idea for depot To the Editor: Although video gaming for the Woodstock train depot is not the best idea, I am totally appalled there will be a bar in there. Are you kidding? What kind of clientele do you think that will attract? Is that what you want to be the first impression of Woodstock to people getting off the train? If the council wants another bar in the city, go ahead and do that. But leave the train depot a nice, clean, welcoming place for all people, especially families with young children. Pauline Okrae McHenry

Money grab for lawyers To the Editor: Illinois has again secured its place as the lawsuit abuse capital of the Midwest, and is home to one of the nation’s worst “judicial hellholes” according to the recently released Judicial Hellholes report from the American Tort Reform Foundation, which named Madison County one of the five worst judicial hellholes in the country.

rise in asbestos lawsuits. Now, even more asbestos lawsuits could be filed in Illinois as a result of surprise legislation pushed by the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association in the 11th hour of the recently concluded fall veto session of the Illinois General Assembly. The legislation (SB 2221), which Gov. Pat Quinn recently signed into law, eliminates the state’s 10-year statute of repose on the exposure to asbestos on building sites during construction projects, which means lawsuits arising from asbestos exposure at construction sites will have no time restrictions. This 11th hour backroom money grab is the ultimate Christmas present for personal injury lawyers and a lump of coal in the stockings of all Illinois residents. Fortunately, there is a point of light in Illinois as Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner has promised to make lawsuit reform a big part of his efforts to revitalize the Illinois economy. The reforms that have been so successful in other states could finally be used here to help make Illinois a destination for jobs, not more lawsuits.

Life after growing up with Stephen Colbert WASHINGTON – Say one thing about Stephen Colbert: He certainly knew how to draw a crowd. That much was evident in the Thursday finale of his show, when the most bizarre and wonderful assortment of people turned out to sing “We’ll Meet Again” – Randy Newman, Big Bird, George Lucas, Alan Alda, Arianna Huffington, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Clinton (tweeting remotely) and Jon Stewart (of course). I didn’t realize what a big generational end-of-an-era moment this would feel like. But I should have. “The Colbert Report” was always a show for millennials. That was clear the second we stepped onto the Mall in 2010 for the Stewart-Colbert rally. There were only two things that my friends felt merited a bus trek

VIEWS Alexandra Petri down to Washington: President Obama’s 2009 inauguration and the Rally to Restore Sanity and/ or Fear. You don’t realize what a fixture something is until it’s singing to you one last time. Colbert, with “The Word” and “Better Know a District” and his traditional presidential campaign, had been there for the past nine years – long enough for us to grow up watching him. In 2010, 80 percent of his viewers were in the coveted 18-to-49 demographic. With Obama’s election, I remember hearing concerns about whether Stewart and Colbert, so

long in the role of class clowns, could move successfully to a position more akin to teacher’s pet. But in the years since, “The Colbert Report” did some of its most incisive work. Colbert’s take on campaign finance reform and super PAC coordination was some of the best stuff of the 2012 election. A PRRI/Brookings survey in 2014 found that “The Daily Show” was more trusted than MSNBC. But we weren’t actually getting our news from “The Colbert Report” and “The Daily Show.” Comedy Central, which conducted a survey on millennials’ political habits, noted “when it comes to political comedy/ satires, Millennials don’t watch to get informed; they watch because they are informed.” We got our news elsewhere, then tuned in to laugh about it.

Now where do we turn? There’s always Stewart, in his role as Media Critic in Chief, and John Oliver, continuing in the if-we-can-make-this-funnywe-can-make-this-interesting footsteps. Yet it was always interesting to see the Colbert twist, and the model he pioneered still feels vital. Larry Wilmore’s upcoming “Nightly Show” has promise, but why not a woman next? We’ve had a parody Bill O’Reilly – what about a parody provocatrix in the mold of Ann Coulter? Whatever its form, we need something. Colbert is gone, but his “Report” is something I’m not ready to do without. • Alexandra Petri writes the ComPost blog at washingtonpost.com.

Blago brother: I was fed ‘pawn’ to get then-governor By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – The brother of imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says in a new book that prosecutors tried to use him as a pawn to get his younger sibling on charges he sought to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat. While charges were eventually dropped against him, Robert Blagojevich, a 59-year-old Tennessee businessman, writes that his refusal to turn on his brother made him “collateral damage” of an overzealous

prosecution that cost him his reputation, nearly $1 million in legal bills and a still unrepaired split in the Blagojevich family. The publisher gave The Associated Press an advance copy of the book, which is titled “Fundraiser A” and set for an April release. Robert, a Republican, agreed to work as chief fundraiser for his brother, a Democrat, in mid-2008 after accepting Rod’s assurances – naively, he writes – that he wasn’t under investigation. An initial complaint unsealed after the then-governor’s arrest on Dec. 9, 2008, referred to Robert only as “Fundraiser A.” Before the brothers’ joint

2010 trial, lead prosecutor Reid Schar proposed that if Robert talked Rod into a guilty plea, charges against the elder brother could be reduced or dismissed, the book says. Regarding the odds of convictions, the book says Schar told Robert’s lawyer, “We’ve got the governor, but your guy can win this.” “Why did they indict me in the first place if they thought I could win?” Robert asked his attorney, Michael Ettinger, in rejecting the proposal. “I was never going to ask Rod to plead guilty to save me from prosecution.” The book also blasts thenU.S. Attorney Patrick Fitz-

gerald, saying the prosecutor tainted the jury pool by telling reporters on the day of Rod’s arrest that “a corruption crime spree” the feds had stopped would “make Lincoln roll over in his grave.” A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago declined comment on the book Monday. Robert paints his sibling as sometimes delusional and persistently unapologetic about entangling his year-older brother in a legal nightmare. The title of one chapter, “La-La Land,” is Robert’s commentary on the world Rod inhabited. While Robert delved into the

N.Y. mayor calls for temporary protest halt The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – As the New York Police Department mourns two of its own, Mayor Bill de Blasio pleaded for a pause in protests and rancor amid a widening rift with those in a grieving force who accuse him of creating a climate of mistrust that contributed to the executions of two officers. De Blasio called on Monday for a halt of political statements until after the funerals of the slain officers, an appeal to both sides in a roiling dispute centered on the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers. “We are in a very difficult moment. Our focus has to be on these families,” de Blasio said at police headquarters. “I think it’s a time for everyone to put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things that we will talk about in all due time.” De Blasio’s relations with the city’s police unions have tumbled to an extraordinary new low following Saturday’s shooting, an ambush the gunman claimed was retaliation for the police-involved deaths of Eric Garner in New York and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In a display of defiance, dozens of police officers turned their backs to de Blasio at the hospital where the officers died, and union leaders said the mayor had “blood on his hands” for enabling the protesters who have

Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolman’s Benevolent Association, pauses at a makeshift memorial Monday near the site where New York Police Department officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were murdered in the Brooklyn borough of New York. Police say Ismaaiyl Brinsley ambushed the two officers in their patrol car in broad daylight Saturday, fatally shooting them before killing himself inside a subway station. swept the streets of New York this month since a grand jury declined to indict an officer in Garner’s chokehold death. De Blasio, though he said he did not agree with the union leaders’ comments, largely tried to strike a unifying note in his first extensive question-and-answer session since the shooting. He said he was confident the city was “working toward a day where we can achieve greater harmony toward policing and community.” Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were ambushed Saturday afternoon

by a man who vowed in an Instagram post to put “wings on pigs.” The suspect, Ismaaiyl Brinsley was black; the slain officers were Asian and Hispanic. The killings came as police nationwide are being criticized following Garner’s death and the shooting death of the 18-year-old Brown. Protests erupted after grand juries declined to charge officers in either case. On Monday, a prosecutor said a white Milwaukee police officer who was fired after he fatally shot a mentally ill black man in April

won’t face criminal charges. The brother of the slain man, though clearly angry, urged protesters to remain peaceful. De Blasio and NYPD Commissioner William Bratton met with the officers’ grieving families Monday. “There’s a lot of pain. It’s so hard to make sense of it – how one deeply troubled, violent individual could do this to these good families,” a somber de Blasio said. “And I think it’s a time for everyone to take stock that there are things that unite us, there are things that we hold dear as New Yorkers, as Americans.”

Ex-officer not charged in fatal Milwaukee shooting Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said during a news conference. “On a human level, of course, it’s tragic ... (but) our job is not to tell people necessarily what they want to hear.” After waiting eight months for the decision, Hamilton’s family reacted with disappointment and anger. At an emotional news conference on the steps of the federal courthouse, family attorneys said they had called for a federal investigation. They also urged that protests be peaceful “so as not to dishonor Dontre’s name and the Hamilton family name.” But Hamilton’s brother Nate spoke bitterly, saying the family had “cried too long” and “we don’t have to be the voice of reason.” “We need to stop the vio-

By TODD RICHMOND The Associated Press MILWAUKEE – A white Milwaukee police officer fired after killing a mentally ill black man in April won’t face criminal charges, the top county prosecutor said Monday, a decision that prompted the U.S. attorney to later announce a federal investigation of the incident. Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said Christopher Manney won’t be charged because he shot Dontre Hamilton in self-defense. Manney is at least the third white police officer across the country to avoid charges in the past month after a confrontation that led to a black man’s death. “[Manney’s] use of force was privileged and justified,”

lence in our communities so we can get rid of these pigs that kill us,” he said to shouts and applause. “Because that’s what they are. They feed, they feed off of us. And we can’t let them do that no more.” His remarks came just two days after two New York City police officers were ambushed in their patrol car. Police said that attack was carried out by a man who posted online about putting “wings on pigs.” Police Chief Edward Flynn said he was disturbed by Hamilton’s choice of words. “I would like to chalk it up to the emotion of the moment, but we don’t need people implying or expressing a need for violence against police,” he said. Jon Safran, a Hamilton family attorney, later said Nate Hamilton doesn’t condone “any type of violence”

and the family was dealing with “great anxiety and frustration.” Hamilton’s family has led mostly peaceful protests in the months since his death. They took to the streets again Monday afternoon, with Nate Hamilton leading a crowd as it marched through intersections chanting “Arrest the police!” and “Whose streets? Our streets!” The group eventually dispersed without incident. Later Monday evening, more protesters gathered in a pouring rain at the park where Manney shot Dontre Hamilton. Nate Hamilton told the group to remain peaceful because media outlets are looking to broadcast violence and the protesters need to be smarter than that. “Don’t nobody be violent,” he said.

Robert in 2012 traveled from Tennessee to the Colorado prison where Rod began serving a 14-year sentence after being convicted at a 2011 retrial, but he says Rod refused to see him. Robert, a former Army lieutenant colonel, testified in his own defense at the 2010 trial.

That trial ended deadlocked, and jurors told reporters later that Robert came across as a sympathetic figure on the witness stand and that nine jurors had voted for his outright acquittal. Two weeks later, prosecutors announced they were dropping all charges against Robert and would only retry Rod. The dismissal of charges came only after Robert rebuffed prosecutors’ suggestion that he agree to be tried separately from Rod. The book says prosecutors knew that Robert undermined the government’s case by successfully engendering juror sympathy.

Cuba: Asylum for fugitives is legitimate right The ASSOCIATED PRESS HAVANA – Cuba said Monday that it has a right to grant asylum to U.S. fugitives, the clearest sign yet that the communist government has no intention of extraditing America’s most-wanted woman despite the warming of bilateral ties. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has urged President Barack Obama to demand the return of fugitive Joanne Chesimard before restoring full relations under a historic detente announced by Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro last week. Chesimard was granted asylum by Fidel Castro after she escaped from the prison where she was serving a sentence for killing a New Jersey state trooper in 1973 during a gunbattle after being stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike. Asked if returning fugitives was open to negotiation, Cu-

ba’s head of North American affairs, Josefina Vidal, told The Associated Press that “every nation has sovereign and legitimate rights to grant political asylum to people it considers to have been persecuted. ... That’s a legitimate right.” “We’ve explained to the U.S. government in the past that there are some people living in Cuba to whom Cuba has legitimately granted political asylum,” Vidal said. “There’s no extradition treaty in effect between Cuba and the U.S.,” she added. In a letter to the White House made public Sunday, Christie said Cuba’s asylum for Chesimard, who has changed her name to Assata Shakur, was “an affront to every resident of our state, our country, and in particular, the men and women of the New Jersey State Police, who have tirelessly tried to bring this killer back to justice.” The first woman ever placed

Pope Francis blasts Vatican bureaucracy By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – To the Catholic Church’s “seven deadly sins,” Pope Francis has added the “15 ailments of the Curia.” Francis issued a blistering indictment of the Vatican bureaucracy Monday, accusing the cardinals, bishops and priests who serve him of using their Vatican careers to grab power and wealth, of living “hypocritical” double lives and forgetting they’re supposed to be joyful men of God. Francis turned the traditional, genteel exchange of Christmas greetings into a public dressing down of the Curia, the central administration of the Holy See which governs the 1.2-billion strong Catholic Church. He made clear his plans for a radical reform of the structures of church power must be accompanied by an even more radical spiritual reform of the men involved. Ticking off 15 “ailments of the Curia” one by one, Francis urged the prelates sitting stone-faced before him in the marbled Sala Clementina to use the Christmas season to repent and atone and make the church a healthier, holier place in 2015. Vatican watchers said they had never heard such a powerful, violent speech from a pope and suggested that it was informed by the results of a secret investigation ordered up by Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI in the aftermath of the 2012 leaks of his papers. Benedict tasked three trusted cardinals to probe deep into the Vatican’s backstabbing culture to root out what would have prompted a papal butler to steal incriminating documents and leak them to a journalist. Their report is known only to the two popes. Francis had some zingers:

How the “terrorism of gossip” can “kill the reputation of our colleagues and brothers in cold blood.” How cliques can “enslave their members and become a cancer that threatens the harmony of the body” and eventually kill it off by “friendly fire.” How some suffer from “spiritual Alzheimer’s,” forgetting what drew them to the priesthood in the first place. “The Curia is called on to always improve itself and grow in communion, holiness and knowledge to fulfill its mission,” Francis said. “But even it, as any human body, can suffer from ailments, dysfunctions, illnesses.” Francis, who is the first Latin American pope and never worked in the Italian-dominated Curia before he was elected, has not shied from complaining about the gossiping, careerism and bureaucratic power intrigues that afflict the Holy See. His 2013 Christmas address cast a spotlight on such sins. But a year into his reform agenda, Francis seemed even more emboldened to make clear to the prelates themselves that superficial displays of change aren’t what he is looking for. “This is a speech without historic precedent,” church historian Alberto Melloni, a contributor to Italian daily Corriere della Sera, said in a telephone interview. “If the pope uses this tone, it’s because he knows it’s necessary.” Melloni noted that until Francis was elected, the Vatican bureaucracy largely answered to no one, saying “an entire generation of the Curia ran it as if they were pope.” St. John Paul II was too busy traveling the world, and later too sick, to pay attention to administrative details, and Benedict left the minutiae of running a government to his deputy, later determined to have been part of the problem.

That includes U.S. equipment to improve the Cuban Internet and U.S. exports to Cuba’s new class of private business owners. “Our president has said we welcome President Obama’s decision to introduce the most significant changes in relations with Cuba in 54 years,” Vidal said. “That includes the entire package.”

Among these are a woman convicted of killing a police officer four decades ago, a man sought for a 31-year-old armed robbery, airplane hijackers and dozens of people accused of Medicare and insurance fraud.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS HOLIDAY CLASSIC

Eagles cruise in win By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Jacobs found the ideal mix of inside-out action teams search for on offense. Guard Cory Boeckh knocked down open 3-pointers after point guard Chrishawn Orange penetrated and kicked the ball back outside. Big men Cameron Krutwig and Matt Bindi benefited from pin-point passes from the guard to get buckets inside. The offense was so proficient that Jacobs had 48 points at halftime, was shooting 66.7 percent and had everything well in control against Carmel. The Golden Eagles cruised through the second half for an 84-71 victory at their own Hinkle Holiday Classic on Monday at the Eagles’ Nest. The victory puts Jacobs (7-3 overall, 2-0 Pool I) into the championship bracket in Friday’s semifinals, regardless of outcomes in Tuesday’s third day of pool play. Jacobs shot 58.5 percent (31 for 53) from the field for the game while putting up its most points this season. “We talked about every pass we completed we wanted to get better and better shots,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “We

Fanter scored six out of the Gators’ final eight points, as South held on and advanced to the championship game in back-to-back years.

McHENRY – To reach the Northern Illinois Holiday Classic final for the second year in a row, the Crystal Lake South girls basketball team first had to absorb a late Dundee-Crown rally. After the Gators opened with back-to-back buckets from Kianna Clark and Hailee Massie to start the second half of Monday’s first championship bracket semifinal, the Gators built a 15-point lead and looked well on their way to making it back. But a basket from the Chargers’ Kayla Lawrence, a 3-pointer from Melissa Barker and two free throws from Creighton Fed later, D-C had

cut into South’s once sizable lead. “They definitely put a lot more ball pressure on us and I think that threw us off a little,” South junior guard Chanel Fanter said. “But we started to handle their pressure more and turned that over on our defensive end.” The Gators forced nine turnovers over the final two quarters and Fanter (game-high 18 points) hit 6 of 7 free throws in the final 1:55 as South held on for a 49-42 win at McHenry High School. With the win, the Gators (11-3 overall, 3-1) advance to the championship game at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday against North Chicago. The Warhawks defeated South, 69-53, last season.

BEARS

Fanter scored 15 of her 18 points in the second half as D-C (6-8, 2-2) outscored South, 17-13, in the final quarter. In the third, Allison Michalski (11 points) kept the Chargers in the game with her team’s four first field goals, but the Gators ended the quarter on an 8-2 run. Massie, who finished with six points and five assists, was involved on South’s first four buckets after the break, assisting Fanter twice, Clark once and converting an short shot from underneath the hoop. For the game, South shot 19 of 44 (43 percent), while D-C was 18 of 45 (40 percent).

Gould: Recent events ‘not the Bear way’ 49-point 4th quarter The other shoe dropped on coach Marc Trestman on Monday when one of the Bears’ most respected and veteran leaders, placekicker Robbie Gould, vented his frustrations publicly. In a regular weekly appearance on AM-670 The SCORE, Gould seemed to surprise even hosts Matt Spiegel and his former teammate and close friend Patrick Mannelly with his frank assessment of what a mess the Bears’ locker room is. “This honestly is not the Bear way,” Gould said. “This whole season’s not the Bear way. Pointing fingers, things getting out of the locker room – that’s not the Chicago Bear way. I think for me, being around the organization for 10 years, seeing guys like Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs, who most likely have played or walked through the tunnel for the last time, it’s tough.” To his credit, Gould never mentioned Trestman by name nor did he point fingers at anyone. That apparently is reserved for Bears coaches. Asked what he thought Trestman hoped to accomplish by benching starting quarterback Jay Cutler,

sets franchise record

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Gould said, “I honestly don’t even know what the message is, to be honest with you. I just think it’s been a long season. [Trestman started Clausen] to provide a spark for the team, is what he told us, and I wish Jay was out there playing.” When asked how he felt about learning about Cutler’s benching via Twitter, as most of the team did, Gould explained, “[Trestman] did address the team the next day and talked about what happened. He made a decision that he thought was best for the team. And listen, we lost again. That’s the bottom line. “I feel really bad for Jay,” Gould said. “When you’re having a tough season like this, he’s not the guy to be the scapegoat or the guy to blame. There’re a lot of guys you can put that blame on.

THE DAILY

CHICAGO – The Bulls know better than to say it too loudly around coach Tom Thibodeau, but whispers around the team are that they can win even when they don’t have their best defensive game. In the first half Monday against the Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors at the United Center, the Bulls were the kind of bad defensively that could cause Thibodeau to lose his voice. But their offense was so explosive in a 129-120 victory that it left even Thibodeau saying, “I don’t care how we win.” After missing two games with an illness, Derrick Rose looked like his old self in his return to the lineup. He scored 15 of his team-leading 29 points during a 49-point

fourth quarter, the highest-scoring quarter in franchise history. The game was a reminder this Bulls team isn’t the same as the ones that sometimes struggled to score in the past. The 2014-15 Bulls have numerous scoring threats, including the emerging Jimmy Butler. Although he wasn’t able to match his 30-plus-point efforts of the past two games, Butler added 27 points and grabbed a team-leading 11 rebounds. The Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are regarded as the NBA’s best backcourt, but Rose and Butler looked the part against the Raptors. Afterward, Rose said he didn’t think there was any doubt the Bulls are capable of winning more high-scoring games.

Baine Kerr, one of the woman’s lawyers, said the university did not conduct a fair hearing this month. “I don’t want to impugn the proceeding as corrupt, but I think it was biased and the fix was in,” Kerr said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “It’s all about a football game 10 days from today. It turned out to be just a predetermined whitewash to keep a guy playing football.” A two-day hearing was held this month to determine whether the 2013 Heisman winner violated sections of the conduct code – two for sexual misconduct, two for endangerment.

Harbaugh won’t speculate about future SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Jim Harbaugh has kept quiet about the speculation surrounding his future for nearly a year.

Harbaugh, who will turn 51 on Tuesday, has lost four straight games for the first time in his four-year stint. He has one year remaining on the $25 million, five-year contract he signed in January 2011 to leave Stanford for the 49ers (7-8).

After trailing by as many as 12 points in the first half, the Rockets used defensive pressure, which led to transition opportunities, and R-B came back to beat Westminster, 63-54, to advance to the semifinals of the Marengo EC Nichols Holiday Tournament. “This is a group of winners,” R-B coach Brandon Creason said. “They want to win, they expect to win, and hanging their heads and attitudes are not a problem with this group.” Sam Kaufman led the way for the Rockets (7-2) with 19 points, including knocking down four 3-pointers. Joey St. Pierre and Reggie Banks provided big minutes inside for R-B, scoring 17

23 points in the fourth and allowed only 21 in the entire second half to end up winning by nine. Richmond-Burton will take on Sycamore in semifinal action at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Marengo 56, Round Lake 24: In the night cap of Monday’s action, the host Indians came out strong from their first possession, an alley-oop to center Ben Volkening for a dunk, and never looked back to also advance to Tuesday’s semifinals. Zach Knobloch led the way with 20 points, while Hunter Simonini added 13 for Marengo (7-2). “We have talked about getting off to fast starts and we were able to do that tonight,” coach Brian Johnson said. “We shot the ball well and played well defensively. I think when we play well with a lead, we play much more confident. We want to try and have that same effort moving forward.” Marengo will take on Antioch at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Antioch 43, Woodstock 39 (OT): In other quarterfinal action from Marengo, Woodstock led most of the way, but a late basket and a free throw sent the game to overtime, where the Blue Streaks (6-3) eventually fell to Antioch. The Blue Streaks played overtime

Woodstock 53, Woodstock

Ex-Bear Benson charged with public intoxication AUSTIN, Texas – Former NFL and Texas running back Cedric Benson has been charged with public intoxication. An Austin police spokesman said Benson was booked early Saturday and released several hours later. Police records show Benson was arrested after a verbal disturbance between a male and a female in a taxi. It wasn’t clear whether Benson has an attorney. A lawyer who previously represented Benson didn’t immediately return messages. Benson was a first-round pick who spent eight years in the NFL, with the Bears, Cincinnati and Green Bay. His final pro season was 2012. Benson in 2011 pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor assault charges in Austin and served five days in jail. He was arrested in 2010 for punching a bar employee. He was arrested in July 2011 for hitting a former roommate.

without center Nick Kubiak as he fouled out on the foul at the end of regulation. This was the second time these teams had played each other this season, having met at Woodstock North in the Hoops for Healing Thanksgiving Tournament. “They shut down our inside game,” Woodstock coach Al Baker said. “Even though we lost in overtime, I thought we lost the game in regulation. We made a lot of silly turnovers. But I also take blame as a coach and we will look at what we can improve on and come back strong.” Woodstock will play Round Lake at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday with a chance to advance to play for fifth place.

North Chicago 46, McHenry 17: In the second semifinal of the championship bracket, last year’s defending champions held the Warriors to single digits in all four quarters en route to the 29-point win. On Monday, McHenry shot just 5 of 27 from the field (19 percent) while turning the ball over 20 times, leading to numerous fast-break points for

North Chicago. Alex Martens led McHenry with four points and five rebounds, while the Warhawks’ Zyaire Strowder-Butler had a game-high 19 points. “To be honest with you, I thought we controlled the tempo of the game,” McHenry coach Rob Niemic said. “[North Chicago] scored 46 points, and half of them is because they took it from us. They took our lunch money and ate our lunch right in front of us. That’s what happened today.”

to small forward and playing Rose and backup point guard Aaron Brooks together. Not only did that serve a defensive purpose by getting quicker players on the floor, but the three sparked the Bulls offensively with their ability

to break down Raptors defenders off the dribble. Brooks scored eight of his 15 points in the fourth quarter. “When guys get on a groove on this team, in this league, it’s hard to turn them off,” Butler said.

Gregoire’s early exit hurts C-G

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK TYLER BAKER Crystal Lake South, sr., F The Blue Streaks’ 6-foot-5 forward led them in scoring in both games last week as they defeated Jacobs, 52-50, and then Grayslake North, 55-54, in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division game. Sutter scored 20 points to lead the Streaks (5-2) past Jacobs, which was the top-ranked area team last week. He also secured the win with a steal in the final seconds as Jacobs was trying to tie the score and force overtime. Sutter topped Woodstock with 17 points in its FVC Fox opener against the Knights on Friday. The Streaks took advantage of the attention Sutter and 6-8 Nick Kubiak drew inside from North to hit a season-best nine 3-pointers in that game. NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1.

uniforms this week after a technical foul was called on the Red Raiders’ varsity team in Saturday’s game against Marian Central. A few seconds into that game, referee Bill DePew called a technical foul for a uniform violation because of the gray trim on the torso on the back of Huntley’s new Nike uniforms. Raiders coach Will Benson said the sales representative from BSN Sports told him before the season the jerseys should comply with NFHS rules. “I’m aware of the rules, they talk about rules in the rules video, but there are so many,” Benson said. “I’ve never seen it called.” Benson and his sales rep talked with the IHSA over the weekend and, because it is not a rule on the sophomore level, the teams have flip-flopped uniforms for the present time. The varsity is wearing last year’s varsity uniforms again. “The rep has been trying to figure out how to fix it,” said Benson, who has an email from VSN Sports stating the uniforms would not be a problem. “I assume it will take a while to replace them.” The Raiders lost to Marian, 46-32, although Marian’s Adam Pischke missed the two technical shots to start the game. Still, Benson’s style was cramped. “I never sit down,” Benson said. “I don’t like having to do that.”

The victory puts Barrington (9-3 overall, 2-0 Pool II) into the championship bracket. The Broncos finish pool play against Johnsburg (0-2) and already have wins over C-G and South Elgin in their pool. Trojans coach Ralph Schuetzle said there was no scorebook on C-G’s bench, but assistant coach Adam McCloud keeps track of fouls. Somehow, Schuetzle thinks one of Michael Coleman’s fouls was given to Gregoire. Barrington’s scorebook also had Gregoire with four fouls. “He’s capable of getting 15 points in a quarter,” Schuetzle said. “He knew how many fouls he had.” Gregoire had two points at halftime, but hit a pair of 3-pointers in the third quarter. The Trojans (5-4, 1-1) trailed 40-33 when he was disqualified. “I was trying to be a good teammate and cheer them

on,” Gregoire said. “I had a lot of angry energy and tried to turn it into positive energy.” Patrick Meyer hit a 3-pointer and Adam Loch hit a 10foot jumper after Gregoire was gone to cut Barrington’s lead to 40-38. But the Broncos’ Chris Lester nailed his fourth 3 of the game, then hit a pair of free throws, and Rapolas Ivanauskas’ three-point play pushed the lead back to 10. “We played great. Our intensity was great,” said Loch, who had eight points. “I thought we had a chance to come back, but No. 12 [Lester] hit some 3s in the corner against our zone.” Ivanauskas led Barrington with 21 points, while Lester added 16 with four 3s. “They were a different team without [Gregoire],” Broncos coach Bryan Tucker said. “But they have some weapons and we had to be sure we defended them.”

• EAGLES Continued from page C1 didn’t want to just settle for 3s, we wanted to get it inside against what [Carmel] wanted to do.” Jacobs had a decisive height advantage with Krutwig (6-foot-8) and Bindi (6-4) and exploited that well. Those two missed one field goal for the entire game. Both were 5 for 5 in the first half as Jacobs built a 48-31 lead. “When Corey starts hitting those 3s, it opens up a lot more,” said Bindi, who finished with 15 points. “We’ve been working in practice on post entries and Chris [Orange] had some great passes in there.’’ Orange scored 16 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out six assists. Boeckh hit three 3s in the first quarter, with his first two coming in the first 2:46 of the game and putting Jacobs up, 10-3. “Our guards were getting downhill and dishing out to me and I fired away,” said Boeckh, who scored 15. “We set goals before the season and one of them was to win our Christmas tournament. This is pretty exciting.” All five Jacobs starters scored in double figures, as Krutwig had 12 points and 15 rebounds, and Kenton Mack added 10 points. Jacobs hit 20 of 30 field goals in the first half and committed only three turnovers.

DE Young tears Achilles

Bengals beat Broncos to reach playoffs

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Marc Trestman confirmed Monday that defensive end Willie Young tore the Achilles tendon in his left leg during Sunday’s loss to the Lions. It was a noncontact injury, and Young was seen wearing a boot in the locker room after the game. Trestman had no timetable on when the surgery would be or how long it will take Young to get back to full health. In his first season with the Bears after signing a threeyear, $9 million contract in March, Young led the team with 10 sacks. He finished with 12 tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, two passes defensed and one forced fumble. “He has kind of been an inspirational leader,” Trestman said. “You guys know him in the locker room. He’s a charismatic guy. He keeps people up. He’s fun to be around. He’s a guy who is always up and around the building and has played well and gotten better throughout the season. He’ll be missed on Sunday certainly.”

Young began the season as the No. 3 defensive end, then became a full-time starter after Lamarr Houston tore his ACL. Young played in 67.8 percent of defensive snaps. One of the most energetic players on the Bears, Young was an instant hit on the field and in the locker room – he even was in good spirits Sunday afternoon, walking around with Willie Young the boot. David Bass and Cornelius Washington will get the reps opposite Jared Allen in the season finale in Minnesota, and the Bears could activate Trevor Scott, as well. NFL suspends Raiola: The NFL suspended Lions center Dominic Raiola one game without pay for stomping on Bears rookie defensive tackle Ego Ferguson’s ankle in Sunday’s game. Raiola has appealed, and that hearing will be Tuesday afternoon. The Lions have clinched a playoff spot, but would win the NFC North if they beat the Packers in Week 17.

According to the league, this is Raiola’s sixth safety-related rules violation since 2010. After the game, Ferguson was asked about the play, which left him on the ground for some time before he walked off the field with the help of trainers. “Y’all saw the play. I don’t have to explain that,” he said. “You need to stay in between the [whistles].” Ferguson and Raiola were seen talking during the final plays, when the Lions took a kneel down, and Ferguson said of that exchange: “None of that matters. We all saw the play. You can’t take back what happened with that play. That’s the end of that.” Raiola said it was “totally unintentional” and that he was “kind of stumbling,” adding that he apologized to Ferguson. His coach, Jim Caldwell, told reporters Monday in Detroit that he believed Raiola when the center said it was inadvertent. Trestman would not give his reaction to the specific play, only confirming that the Bears did send it into the league to be reviewed.

CINCINNATI (AP) – With everything on the line, the Bengals picked off Peyton Manning – twice, no less – and ran back into the playoffs.

Dre Kirkpatrick returned Manning’s third interception for a touchdown in the closing minutes Monday night, completing a fourth-quarter rally that gave Cincinnati (10-4-1) a 37-28 victory over the Denver

and David will be in a backup position.” In a win over the Vikings on Nov. 16 at Soldier Field, Cutler completed 31-of-43 passes for 330 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He had a passer rating of 98.0. In his first start, Clausen completed 23-of-39 passes for 181 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, good for a passer rating of 77.0 in the 2014 loss to Detroit.

Broncos (11-4) and a spot in the playoffs. Kirkpatrick’s 30-yard return with 2:41 left capped a game of big plays. With 67 seconds left, Kirkpatrick picked off Manning again to clinch it.

Trestman wants remarks kept in-house • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 “You could bench the whole team. It’s not like anybody’s really played fantastic or great. We’re 5-10 now. It’s not like Jay’s the problem. Jay’s not the issue. I hope he’s back next year for us.” Ironically, Trestman was less than thrilled when asked how he felt about Gould’s comments. “What I’ve always talked to our players about is keeping those kind of comments in-house, where we can talk about them in-house, so that’s how I feel about it. “I’m not going to comment on Robbie because I didn’t hear the comments. Your interpretation may be what it is, I’m not questioning it but my focus with the team is that if they have something

on their mind to come in and talk about it, and guys have, in a real positive fashion.” Perhaps had offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer handled his frustrations that way, the Bears would be in a different place right now. Gould did not call for a change at the head coach’s spot, but, given the chance, he didn’t offer Trestman an endorsement either. Asked what he thought about the possibility Trestman will be fired, he answered, “It’s not like you can avoid the noise. Realistically, it’s part of the game. It’s how it goes. You’re in the business of winning football games, and if you don’t produce, you get cut. You don’t win, you get fired, that is usually how it goes.” Asked specifically Monday if he’s been told by management whether he will be retained, Trestman responded,

“I’ve been supported by this organization since Day 1, that hasn’t changed.” In other words, either he hasn’t been told or he isn’t saying if he has. For those of us around the team on a regular basis, there was no surprise in Gould’s remarks. He just put his name on what a number of players have been telling us off the record, for fear of their jobs, for several weeks now. I’m not sure where the Bears are going with Phil Emery’s job, but I suspect Trestman’s demise was sealed several weeks ago. If not, you almost have to believe Gould had the last word Monday.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

BOCA RATON BOWL: MARSHALL VS. NORTHERN ILLINOIS, 5 P.M. TUESDAY, ESPN

Seniors aiming for NIU history With win, group would be program’s winningest class By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Outside of the College Football Playoff semifinals, there’s just one other bowl game that features two conference champions. That game takes place at 5 p.m. Tuesday, with Northern Illinois (11-2) and Marshall (12-1) facing off in the inaugural Boca Raton Bowl at FAU Stadium. It’s a chance for NIU to end the 2014 season – one that started with many question marks with the losses of quarterback Jordan Lynch and defensive back Jimmie Ward to graduation – on a high note. “That’s one of the things we really wanted to do, and that was one of our goals at the beginning of the season, win the bowl game,” NIU senior offensive tackle Tyler Loos said. “The last two years we haven’t won. The first two years (2010 and 2011) we won the bowl game, so we want to finish on a good note.” Two years ago, the Huskies suffered a 13-10 loss to an extremely talented Florida State team in the Orange Bowl. The Seminoles still haven’t lost since before that game. Last year after a heartbreaking Mid-American Conference championship defeat, the Huskies lost 21-14 to Utah State in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. With a win over the Thundering Herd, the Huskies’ senior class would have a nice cap on its collective career. It also would make the group the winningest class in school history, passing last year’s team.

to see more of Christian Blake and Clayton Glasper. 4. Handling the Herd ground attack NIU has faced some good backs this season – the Arkansas duo of Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins, Central Michigan’s Thomas Rawls, Western Michigan’s Jarvion Franklin and Toledo’s Kareem Hunt. Marshall has some good backs of its own. Devon Johnson has run for 1,636 yards. Steward Butler has 781 rushing yards. As a team, Marshall averages 6.9 yards a carry. 5. Special teams Freshman kicker Christian Hagan has been solid since he took over field goal duties, going 6 of 8. He might be needed in a big spot. Hopefully for NIU fans, they won’t see too much of punter Tyler Wedel. However, Wedel has been strong the past few weeks. – Steve Nitz, snitz@shawmedial.com

“I think it would be great. I think it would give us a slingshot into next year with a good win, and for our seniors, we want to go out with a win,” senior defensive end Jason Meehan said. “We don’t want to go out with a loss in the last football game you play. We’ve had a great time so far. We really just want to finish it off.” Meehan added that although it’s an important game for both the team and the seniors, they can’t get too caught up into the emotion. “In the back of your mind you know this will be the last one, the last time I’ll see this whole team together fully,” Meehan said. “At the same time, it’s another football game.” Both programs were in contention for the automatic Group of

Five berth in a New Year’s Six bowl game, which ended up going to Boise State. Fans at the game and watching on ESPN will see two of the top mid-major programs in the country, who both could be contention for a Group of Five berth in the coming years. “This is my 24th bowl I’ve coached in. The ones I remember are the ones you win,” Marshall coach Doc Holliday said. “Any time you have the opportunity to win a bowl game, it’s not only for the kids to go out, but it kind of springs you into the following year, as well. It’s critical that when you have the opportunity to win, you do a great job of prep. There’s no doubt, I guarantee you that that Northern Illinois team is going to be well-prepared.”

NIU’s 5 storylines to watch 1. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers How about Drew Hare’s ability to take care of the ball this season? It’s probably the most underrated part of NIU’s success, as the quarterback has thrown only one interception. On the flip side, NIU’s defense forced four turnovers in the MAC championship win over Bowling Green, and six in the win over Western Michigan. 2. Rakeem Cato Even though Hare has had a great season, Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato will be the best QB on the field Tuesday night. He’s thrown for 3,622 yards and 37 touchdowns as a senior, and is a threat in the running game, as well. Cato has ran for 457 yards. 3. Who steps up at wideout? Da’Ron Brown has been the go-to guy all year. Juwan Brescacin had a strong MAC title game. With both Chad Beebe and Ezra Saffold out with injuries, expect

CHINA INDICTS JACKIE CHAN’S SON ON DRUG CHARGE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Tuesday, December 23, 2014 • Section C • Page 6

BEIJING – Chinese prosecutors Monday indicted the son of Hong Kong action film star Jackie Chan on the charge of sheltering others to use drugs, more than four months after he was detained. If convicted, singer-actor Jaycee Chan could be jailed for up to three years. Chan, 32, was among a string of celebrities detained over the summer for vices such as drug use and hiring prostitutes, as Beijing vowed to clean up social morals. Chan’s case has been particularly embarrassing for his more famous father, who was named by Beijing as an anti-drug ambassador in 2009.

Pittsburgh mayor goes ‘Undercover’ in reality show

Joe Cocker (right) and Jennifer Warnes appear at the 25th Grammy Awards on Feb. 23, 1983, in Los Angeles. Cocker, best known for the songs “You Are So Beautiful” and the 1980s duet “Up Where We Belong” with Jennifer Warnes, died Monday of lung cancer in Colorado. He was 70.

British singer Joe Cocker dies NEW YORK – Joe Cocker, the raspy-voiced British singer known for his frenzied cover of “With a Little Help From My Friends,” the teary ballad “You Are So Beautiful” and a contorted performing style uncannily parodied by John Belushi on “Saturday Night Live,” has died. He was 70. His London-based agent, Barrie Marshall, said Cocker died Monday of lung cancer in Colorado, where he has lived for the past two decades. Cocker, an interpreter more than a writer, became a star through his dazzling transformation of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends.” Featuring a gospel-styled arrangement and furious call and response between Cocker and the backup singers, the song became a No. 1 hit in England and the highlight of his characteristically manic set at the Woodstock festival in 1969. In a statement Monday, Paul McCartney remembered hearing Cocker’s cover of the song he and John Lennon co-wrote for Ringo Starr and finding it “just mind blowing,” a “soul anthem.” “I was forever grateful for him for doing that,” McCartney said. “I knew him through the years as a good mate, and I was so sad to hear that he had been ill and really sad to hear today that he had passed away.” Cocker’s “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” tour and travelling party of 1970, featuring Leon Russell and numerous top session musicians, produced a film and a recording that went gold. But future success was more sporadic, and Cocker suffered from both drug and financial problems.

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh’s mayor has gone undercover for a reality show. A disguised Bill Peduto appeared on Sunday’s episode of the CBS series “Undercover Boss,” collecting trash, sawing down trees and helping build a door. The first-term Democrat donned a wig and beard to blend in as Ed Chadwick from Kentucky. It didn’t work on everyone. One worker saw through the 50-year-old Peduto’s “Duck Dynasty”-style costume and lack of chain saw skills. Corporate donations enabled Peduto to follow another show tradition: bettering employees’ lives. He offered tuition and housing payments and promotions. Peduto said going undercover was the only chance he’ll ever have to hear what people say about him when he’s not around. He said the show provided a great opportunity to show off the Steel City.

Renee Fleming to make Broadway debut in ‘Living on Love’ NEW YORK – Opera star Renee Fleming will make her Broadway debut this spring, playing – what else? – an opera star. The four-time Grammy Award-winning soprano will star in the comedy “Living on Love” at the Longacre Theatre beginning April 1. “I’ve spent my life singing tragic characters, so to be able to make people laugh is an extraordinary joy,” Fleming said. The comedy was written by two-time Tony Award winner Joe DiPietro (“Memphis”), adapted from “Peccadillo” by Garson Kanin (“Born Yesterday”) and directed by three-time Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall. Marshall and DiPietro worked together on Broadway’s “Nice Work If You Can Get It.”

The play was seen this summer at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. In it, Fleming plays an opera diva whose conductor-husband starts to fall for a woman hired to ghostwrite his long-delayed autobiography. She retaliates by hiring her own ghostwriter, but also gets romantically attached. Fleming, who has performed around the world and serenaded Queen Elizabeth and President Barack Obama, this year became the first opera singer to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. She received the National Medal of Arts, the highest honor the government gives to artists, in 2012.

South Africa’s crime inspires novelist JOHANNESBURG – Novelist Angela Makholwa’s fascination with South Africa’s violent crime has made her one of the country’s most popular writers. Using sharply drawn characters and intriguing plots, Makholwa’s fiction helps South Africans to make sense of the country’s high crime rate. A mother of two who runs a public relations firm, Makholwa said she is inspired by the discomfort caused by crime. While working as a writer at a glossy magazine, Makholwa became fascinated by the case of a serial killer. For about a year, she interviewed the convict serving 2,410 years in a maximum security prison in Pretoria for the murder and rape of dozens of women. He was courteous, almost sweet, when talking about his life, she said. The experience led to her first book, “Red Ink,” the story of a young journalist telling the story of a serial killer, who unwittingly finds herself at the center of a murder plot. Her next novel, “The Thirtieth Candle” traced the anxiety of four suburban South African women as they approached their 30th birthdays. “Angela has a unique way of capturing modern South African society and in “Black Widow Society” the tables turn and women take control,” said Terry Morris, managing director of Pan Macmillan, Makholwa’s publisher.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Success is right around the corner, and you will be able to step into a position of authority this year. Minimizing your weak areas and maximizing your strong points will let everyone see how much you have to offer. Make your next move and live your dream. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make a point to network and keep in touch with important people. Offer assistance to a close friend or relative. A revealing secret will give you insight that will help you make a big decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You’ll feel apprehensive about getting together with old friends. Stop having regrets about your past. People love you for who you are. Stand tall and be proud. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Not everything will go according to plan. You will have to take things as they come. If you don’t overreact to minor matters, you will avoid retaliation. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will find the perfect gift for someone special. Don’t waste time asking for other people’s opinions. Rely on your own judgment for the most success and satisfaction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t worry if you can’t complete your whole shopping list. It’s not about how much you give or spend, it’s about the love and sincerity that you offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A blossoming partnership will bring you happiness. You will be greatly appreciated if you use your unique talents to make family or workplace gatherings a big hit. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will leave a lasting impression if you devote your time to someone elderly or lonely. Before you travel, finish your chores so you will not have to deal with such matters when you return. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Generosity at this time of year is not about spending money. You will grab attention if you contribute your ideas, time and effort to a cause you believe in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- All the hustle and bustle will try your patience. Short tempers can lead to hurtful arguments, so it’s wise to go off by yourself, where you can reflect on what’s truly important.

CLASSIFIED 7

Man on the verge of divorce Vasectomy reversal possible in can’t seem to seal the deal about 60 to 70 percent of cases Dear Abby: I am three years into a relationship with “Harold,” a man who is separated but not divorced. We both have grown children. Harold was separated when we got involved. He has since moved in with me and is an active bill-paying member of the home. I also was separated from a brief marriage when we met, and divorced shortly after we started dating. My assumption was that Harold also would be divorcing. As of now, the paperwork remains partially filled out, but no legal proceedings have begun. I hate this. I have talked to him about it many times, so he knows my feelings. I’m at the “do-it-or-leave” point, but can’t seem to get over the hump. I do not plan on marrying – I just want him to be divorced. What should I do? – Looking For Legality In Washington Dear Looking: When you became involved with Harold, did he tell you he was planning on divorcing his wife? There could be reasons why he hasn’t gone through with finalizing it. One of them could be religious; another might be financial.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips A third, the fear that his relationship with his children – and grandchildren, if there are any – will be permanently damaged. Or, that marrying you wasn’t his objective in the first place, and your saying you didn’t want to remarry made you more attractive to him. If remarriage isn’t your goal, why is his finalizing his divorce so important to you? Before you issue an ultimatum, it’s crucial that you understand the answer to this question. After that, you will know what – or what not – to do. Dear Abby: I have an 11-month-old son. When I was pregnant, I felt I had a great relationship with my mom. She seemed excited about becoming a grandma for the first time, but once my son was born she stayed away for two weeks. When she finally came over, it was only because she happened to be in town for a meeting. When we met for lunch, she seemed uncomfortable

Dear Dr. K: I had a vasectomy many years ago. I’ve since remarried, and my new wife wants to have children. Can my vasectomy be reversed? Dear Reader: A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is done to make a man sterile (unable to father children). Normally, sperm – the male reproductive cells that fertilize a woman’s egg – are made in the testicle. Sperm travel away from the testicle through a tube called the vas deferens. There are two vas deferens, one for each testicle on each side. The vas deferens connect with a reservoir where the sperm is held, ready to be ejaculated during sex. The sperm also mixes with secretions from the prostate gland that keep the sperm alive. When the sperm is ejaculated, it travels through another tube, the urethra, inside the penis. A vasectomy cuts or blocks the vas deferens. Once the vas deferens are cut or blocked, sperm cannot pass from the testicle to the reservoir where semen and secretions from the prostate gland are stored. During ejaculation, the sperm-containing fluid is

around the baby. I feel hurt that she doesn’t seem “into” him or being a grandma. I’m sad she’s missing out on so much, but I don’t know if I should tell her how I feel. I don’t want her to change only because I said something. I’d like her to want to visit. Should I say something to her, or let it be and continue feeling resentment toward her? – Disappointed New

Mom Dear Disappointed: Please try to curb your resentment until after you have discussed this with your mother, which is necessary in light of the fact that you have always had a good relationship with her. In the weeks after your son was born, she might have been trying to give you space and time to bond with your newborn. She also might be busy, or uncomfortable around babies and toddlers who can’t yet communicate. Believe it or not, some people – even grandparents – feel that way, although they are hesitant to admit it. • Write Dear Abby at www.

dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff ejected through the penis during orgasm. After a vasectomy, a man continues to have normal ejaculations of semen, but the ejaculate no longer contains sperm. (I’ve put an illustration showing the path of sperm before and after a vasectomy on my website, www. askdoctork.com.) In a traditional vasectomy, the surgeon uses a scalpel to make small incisions in the skin of the scrotum near the base of the penis. (The scrotum is the fleshy sac that contains the testicles.) The incisions allow the surgeon to reach the vas deferens in each testicle. The vas deferens are cut or blocked to prevent sperm from traveling. The surgeon may cut the vas deferens and tie the ends, burn the tubes with a hot tool or block them with surgical clips. The incisions in the scrotum are then closed with two or three small stitches. The other surgical option, no-scalpel vasectomy, is less invasive. Only tiny incisions are needed. The surgeon

makes one or two punctures to access the vas deferens. The puncture is widened slightly, then the surgeon cuts or blocks each vas deferens. The puncture site can be covered with a tiny dressing. No stitches are needed. A vasectomy is intended to produce permanent sterilization. Special microsurgery can reverse a vasectomy and restore fertility in some cases. But there are no guarantees that fertility or vasectomy reversal will be successful. Vasectomy reversal is a delicate, expensive procedure. And it is only successful in about 60 to 70 percent of cases. Why would a man want to reverse a vasectomy? Often, a man and woman have fathered all the children they want to have, but want to continue to have sex. So a vasectomy is performed. But then the situation changes. The couple separates, for whatever reason, and the man’s new partner wants to have children. Fortunately, most of the time, the new couple can get their wish. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dad’s ineffective discipline sets son on path to becoming a thug Dr. Wallace: My 15-yearold brother is always getting into trouble at school, and even with the law. He already has been suspended four times from school. My dad talked a store owner out of pressing charges when my brother shoplifted some stuff from a neighborhood store. Now my brother has been suspended from school for bullying a boy and taking his lunch money every day. If he wouldn’t give it to him, my brother was pushing him around and threatening to beat him up on his way home from school, and finally he got caught when he did beat the boy up. Even though he is my brother, I dislike him because he is a despicable person and will probably wind up in jail even before he is an adult.

‘TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace I’ve told my dad he should be more strict with him, but my dad said he hated his own dad because he was too strict and beat him when he got in trouble. He doesn’t want his own son to fear and hate him. Because of his unhappy childhood, my dad is failing in the “good parenting” department. My brother had a color TV set in his bedroom, and when he was punished my dad only took the color set out and replaced it with an old black and white one for a month, then gave the color TV back. What kind of

punishment is that? I’m totally embarrassed at school to be known as his sister. What can I do to get our father to take effective disciplinary action with regard to my brother before it’s too late? – Nameless, Oklahoma

City, Oklahoma Nameless: You are absolutely correct. If your brother does not change his behavior, he is well on his way to becoming a social deviant, also known as a “two-bit” thug, and your father will share in the blame for this behavior because he lacks parenting skills. Make sure your father reads your letter to me and, hopefully, he will see the error caused by his lack of effective disciplining. The older your brother gets, the harder it will be for him to

change his poor behavior, so it is imperative that your father begins to take control immediately. Being a bully is a serious offense, and to discipline your brother by letting him watch a black and white TV instead of a color TV is an absolute joke. It might be helpful for your father to talk with the school counselor for advice on how to more effectively control his son. Up to now, your father has done your brother a disservice by allowing him to self-destruct. Dr. Wallace: My friend and I got caught smoking by her mom, who promptly called my mom. Now my mom insists that I be on restriction for a month. It’s as if I’m a criminal who committed a huge crime.

Almost every day, she is bringing up the fact that I was smoking. I didn’t really smoke. I just lit one to see what it felt like to inhale cigarette smoke. It was terrible! I coughed for five minutes after only inhaling one puff. That was enough for me. I am cured now, and I’ll never smoke again. I told my mother this, but she keeps bringing it up every single day, saying she is disappointed in me and she can’t trust me to not smoke again. I’ve told my mother I’m sorry over and over, but she keeps giving me lectures on the evils of smoking. Now I try to avoid being in the same room with her whenever I can because she always makes me feel bad. I know I made a mistake.

I’m human, and I’ve told her I’m sorry and swore I’ll never try another cigarette. Instead of continuing the disciplinary nagging, don’t you think she should just forgive me and let us both go on with life? – Sarah, Las Vegas Sarah: Your mother had a frightening vision of her child addicted to a terrible habit and reacted accordingly. She seems to have made her point. Belaboring it is counterproductive. I agree it is now time for her to forgive you for your experimentation but even more importantly, she should listen to you as you describe the lesson you learned – that smoking is terrible. • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.
