March primary races shape up Monday’s filing deadline brings surprises

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The filing period for the March 18 primary ended Monday with the setting up of a slew of races for county Republican voters to decide.

County Democrats will

only have two primary races to decide, albeit important ones. And county voters of all political leanings will decide whether they want to change the way the McHenry County Board chairman is elected.

Republicans will decide contested primaries for U.S.

Senate, governor and treasurer. They also will decide contested primaries for the 65th House District in far southern McHenry County, the offices of county clerk, sheriff and treasurer, and four of the County Board’s six districts.

Monday’s deadline pro-

Leaders prep for vote on pensions

duced two surprises. Former McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy Zane Seipler, who was fired, won his job back but was fired again for lying under oath during his civilrights lawsuit against the department, is running as a Republican in District 5.

Longtime District 4 Republican incumbent Sandra Fay Salgado did not file to run for another term.

The county’s Democratic voters will have choices in two races. Incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn has picked up a Democratic challenger, and voters will decide whether candidate Dennis Anderson of Gurnee or John Hosta of Spring Grove should take on incumbent Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren for the 14th Congressional District. The district covers all of McHenry

County except for Algonquin Township, which is in the 6th Congressional District.

Democrats have fielded only three candidates for County Board, and none for any of the four countywide offices.

Both parties will have an opportunity to fill ballot vacancies.

SENDING HOLIDAY CHEER SINCE 2005

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers began putting the pieces in place Monday for a potentially historic vote to address the nation’s worst public-pension shortfall, as legislators scrambled to digest the complex deal and labor unions and other political heavyweights ratcheted up pressure for and against it.

The House and Senate are expected to vote Tuesday on the years-in-the-making agreement. Legislative leaders say the proposal, which emerged last week, would save an estimated $160 billion over 30 years and fully fund the state’s five pension systems by 2044 through benefits cuts for workers and retirees.

As of Monday evening the plan had the support of a clear majority of members on a pension conference committee – enough to send the measure to the floors of both chambers.

But its passage in the Democrat-controlled Legislature was not seen as assured.

Several lawmakers said they still were reviewing the 325-page piece of legislation, and a number of big questions remained for lawmakers to consider with little time before an expected vote. Republican state Rep. Tom Cross of Oswego said he was waiting for more information on the possible impact of the monumental deal.

“This is going to be the biggest vote most legislators make in their career,” he said.

“You’ve got one shot at this and you want to do it right.”

Illinois’ pension funds are $100 billion short of what’s

Despite staff recommending a 5 percent increase in its property tax levy, the McHenry City Council voted 6-1 to keep the levy level for a third year. With the economy still sluggish and property values expected to drop again, several aldermen and residents said it was inappropriate for the city to raise taxes. For more, see page B1.

Ownership eyeing Bull Valley for an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center will have to look elsewhere after a last-minute ordinance change from the village led to their withdrawal.

Smile ... You’re on Selfie Camera!

I learned a new word the other day. The word is “selfie.” A “selfie” is self-portrait photograph, most often taken by a camera phone. It is very popular on social networking sites and the word has gained such universal usage that the publishers of the Oxford Dictionary have declared “selfie” as the “Word of the Year” for 2013. Apparently I have obliviously communicated throughout this year without a single usage of this indispensable word until recently. I feel so fatuous.

This word now joins previous 2012 “Word of the Year” winner, “omnishambles.” (Definition: a situation that has been horribly mismanaged, as in, “This column is a complete omnishambles because the copy editors changed my title.”) And we cannot forget Sarah Palin’s inventive blend of “refute” and “repudiate” to come up with “refudiate,” which claimed most popular word in 2010. (“I pressed an F instead of a P and people freaked out,” she replied, as a nation of keyboard users keenly observed that the F and P keys are not nearly as close as

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava Alaska is to Russia.)

But, back to the word “selfie.”

When I shared it and its definition with my wife, she observed, “Michael, you have been taking selfies since I met you.” That prompted us to take a tour of our photograph albums, and, sure enough, I discovered that a multitude of selfies I took were sprinkled throughout our photos.

Now, a selfie can include one person or several, depending upon the length of one’s arm. I have a selfie of myself as a teenager sporting my Beatle hairdo as I looked, I must say, very Paul McCartney-like. There’s a selfie of my wife and me on one of our first dates as we hung out at a ’60s coffee house sharing a bottle of RC Cola. And, of course, there are several selfies of our four kids and me, much to their usual utter embarrassment.

So, sure, I have taken my share

of selfies. But there’s something different about the selfies of today. Our selfies are nestled discreetly in our family photo albums. Today’s selfies are posted on the Internet for the whole world to see. Some psychologists suggest that chronic selfie-snappers are simply a reflection of today’s self-absorbed culture. And I think they may have a point.

You see, back in the day, there was less attention and interest in self. For example, someone once made interesting observations about the evolution of magazines. Years ago Life magazine was the most popular periodical because that’s what we were interested in: life. Whether plant or animal or human, show us glimpses of the life around us and we loved it.

But as times changed, so did our interests. Life magazine gave way to People magazine. No longer did we want to see life, we just wanted to see people. Then came Us magazine. Sure, we still were interested in people, but only in us, not them. Years later Self magazine hit the shelves. Forget about other people, we just want

ourselves.

Watching the change of cultural focus from life to people to us to self may well help explain why selfies are now the rage. It makes you wonder when they’ll publish a magazine that simply contains a mirror, so when you open it, all you see is yourself.

Then you can take a selfie of your reflection and post it on Facebook.

So I guess selfies are here to stay.

By the way, just to let you know, the photo of me for my column was actually a selfie I took long before I even knew it was a selfie. However, as a disclaimer, I must tell you that any striking resemblance to Paul McCartney is purely unintentional.

Supreme Court won’t stop N.Y.’s Internet taxation

By JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press WASHINGTON – On perhaps the busiest online shopping day of the year, the Supreme Court refused to wade into a dispute over state sales taxes for purchases on websites like Amazon.com, an outcome likely to prompt more states to attempt to collect taxes on Internet sales.

Monday’s court action means “it might be the last Cyber Monday without sales tax,” said Joseph Henchman of the Washington-based Tax Foundation.

chasing is the lack of a state sales tax, which makes some items a little cheaper than they would be inside a store on the corner.

And the effect could be felt far beyond New York if it encourages other states to act. The National Council of State Legislatures estimates that states missed out on an estimated $23.3 billion in 2012 as a result of being unable to collect sales tax on online and catalog purchases.

The court’s refusal “allows states that have passed laws like New York’s to continue doing what they’ve been do-

ing,” said Neal Osten, director of the Council’s Washington office.

This decision came down on Cyber Monday, expected to be the busiest day of the year for online shopping. Huge numbers of people head online on the first working day after the long Thanksgiving weekend in search of Internet deals. Overall, Internet shopping has become more and more popular, with the National Retail Federation predicting that more than 131 million people would shop online on Monday, up about 2 percent from last year.

It’s all part of a furious battle – also including legislation in Congress – among Internet sellers, millions of buyers, aggrieved brick-and-mortar stores and states hungry for billions of dollars in extra tax revenue.

The high court without comment turned away appeals from Amazon.com LLC and Overstock.com Inc. in their fight against a New York court decision forcing them to remit sales tax the same way in-state businesses do. This could hurt online shopping in that state, because one of the attractions of Internet pur-

FBI looks for ways to stem crime in Chicago

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – The new head of Chicago’s FBI office said Monday he’ll look for ways his agents can do more to help stem homicide rates and other violent crimes in the nation’s third-largest city, though he added it’s not yet clear what more the FBI can do that it’s not already doing.

Robert Holley’s comments to The Associated Press in one of his first interviews since assuming his new post a month ago come amid calls by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Illinois’ two U.S. senators and others for federal law enforcement to do more to combat violence in Chicago, which has hundreds of homicides each year.

Already, about 25 percent of Chicago agents work violent-crime cases, Holley noted.

But given congressional spending constraints, shifting more resources to the gang, gun and drug crimes that underpin much of the violence could jeopardize other investigative priorities in Chicago, including corruption, counterterrorism and cybercrime, he said.

“Could I move resources from one investigative branch to another? I could,” said Holley. “But I would have to take away from other programs, and I don’t know if I am willing to accept that risk right now.”

Holley declined to say exactly how many agents in Chicago were assigned to counterterrorism, but he said a greater number is devoted to violent crime.

Monday was the first time Holley weighed in publicly on the topic. The newly swornin U.S. attorney for Chicago, Zachary Fardon, has faced similar questions.

Last-minute signups a crucial test Health care website could become overwhelmed as year comes to end

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s new and improved health care website faces yet another test in just a couple of weeks, its biggest yet. If HealthCare.gov becomes overwhelmed by an expected year-end crunch, many Americans will be left facing a break in their insurance coverage.

Until now, the main damage from the website’s technology woes has been to

Obama’s poll ratings. But if it chokes again, it will be everyday people feeling the consequences.

Some of those at risk are among the more than 4 million consumers whose individual policies have been canceled because the coverage didn’t comply with requirements of the new health care law. A smaller number, several hundred thousand, are in federal and state programs for people whose health problems already were a barrier to getting private insurance before the overhaul.

“The chances are almost 100 percent that someone who would like to continue coverage next year and intends to secure it is not going to be able to do it,” said Mark McClellan, who oversaw the rollout of the Medicare prescription drug benefit under President George W. Bush.

“It’s important to recognize that none of these programs are going to work perfectly from the start and a big part of implementation is having mechanisms in place that anticipate problems and help mitigate their effects,” added McClellan, now a health care policy expert with the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington.

But on Monday, administration officials projected renewed confidence that they’re on top of things.

White House spokesman Jay Carney declared that the federal site serving 36 states got 375,000 visitors by noon.

Even as fixes continued on back-end features of the system, enrollment counselors said the consumer-facing front end was working noticeably better – but still was not free of glitches or delays.

As Carney acknowledged, some of Monday morning’s visitors were shuttled into a queue and advised when to return for speedier service.

That’s actually an improvement to handle high volume, he said.

NTSB: Train going too fast at curve The ASSOCIATED PRESS YONKERS, N.Y. – A commuter train that derailed over the weekend, killing four passengers, was hurtling at 82 mph as it entered a 30 mph curve, a federal investigator said Monday. But whether the wreck was the result of human error or brake trouble was still unclear, he said.

Asked why the train was going so fast, National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener said: “That’s the question we need to answer.”

Weener said the information on the locomotive’s speed was preliminary and extracted from the Metro-North train’s two data recorders, taken from the wreckage after the Sunday morning accident in the Bronx. He also said investigators began interviewing the crew members, but he would not disclose what the engineer had told them.

Weener said the throttle went to idle six seconds before the derailed train came to a complete stop – “very late in

Federal authorities began righting the cars Monday morning as they started an exhaustive investigation into what caused a New York City commuter train rounding a riverside curve to derail, killing four people and injuring more than 60 others. the game” for a train going that fast” – and the brakes were fully engaged five seconds before the train stopped.

He said investigators were examining the engineer’s cellphone – apparently to determine whether he was operating the train while distracted.

Asked whether the tragedy was the result of human error or faulty brakes, Weener said:

“The answer is, at this point in time, we can’t tell.”

As investigators mined the data recorders for information, workers righted the fallen cars along the curve, a bend so sharp that the speed limit during the approach drops from 70 mph to 30 mph.

The wreck came two years before the federal government’s deadline for Met-

ro-North and other railroads to install automatic-slowdown technology designed to prevent catastrophic accidents.

But with the cause of Sunday’s wreck unknown, it was not clear whether the technology would have made a difference.

The engineer, William Rockefeller, was injured and “is totally traumatized by everything that has happened,” said Anthony Bottalico, executive director of the rail employees union. He said Rockefeller, 46, was cooperating fully with investigators.

“He’s a sincere human being with an impeccable record that I know of. He’s diligent and competent,” Bottalico said. Rockefeller has been an engineer for about 11 years, he said.

The NTSB has been urging railroads for decades to install technology that can stop wrecks caused by excessive speed or other problems. Congress in 2008 required dozens of railroads, including Metro-North, to install the “positive train control” systems by 2015.

8STATE BRIEFS Dozens gather to remember school fire CHICAGO – About 150 people attended a special Mass in Chicago to mark the 55th anniversary of a school fire that killed 95 people.

Survivors and relatives of people who died in the swift-moving fire attended Sunday’s service at Holy Family Church in the Little Italy neighborhood.

“I think about it all the time, really,” said Laura Dini, 67, who was in seventh grade when the fire broke out at the Our Lady of the Angels school that she attended in 1958. She survived by jumping from a window, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times.

The fire engulfed the elementary and middle school, killing 92 students and three nuns.

Ameren, Dynegy close deal on 5 Ill. coal plants CHICAGO – Houston-based Dynegy Inc. took ownership of five Illinois coal-fired power plants as Ameren Corp. exited the merchant generation business to concentrate on its rate-regulated operations in Illinois and Missouri, the companies announced Monday.

Dynegy acquired the plants from St. Louis-based Ameren, which wanted to divest its so-called merchant business – plants that sell electricity on the open market. Ameren Chairman and CEO Thomas R. Voss said the divestiture was important for the company’s shareholders and customers because earnings and cash flow will be more predictable and the company can concentrate on strengthening and increasing its regulated electric, natural gas and transmission operations.

Stay alert for deer on roads Deer hunting and deer breeding seasons are upon us, which means motorists are more apt to encounter deer on the roadway.

In McHenry County, that has proven to be dangerous. The county had the ninth-most motor vehicle accidents involving deer in 2012, according to data from the Illinois Department of Transportation. Deer-related accidents in McHenry County in 2012 totalled For the record 279.

Nearby Lake McHenry County had the (333 collisions) ninth-most motor vehicle acand Kane (276) cidents involving deer in 2012. were seventh and 10th, respectively, in the state. Overall, vehicle crashes involving deer dropped statewide to 15,489 in 2012 from 18,044 in 2011. Vehicle accidents involving deer accounted for four fatalities last year compared to six in 2011, and injuries from those crashes slightly decreased to 608 from 613.

Here are some deer season safe-driving tips: • It’s state law, but always wear your seatbelt. Sixty percent of fatal animal crashes occurred when the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.

• Know the likely deer-crossing zones.

Whether or not a road is marked with a deer crossing sign, be alert for deer when driving on roads or highways on the outskirts of town and in rural areas, especially where roads divide farm land from wooded land.

• When driving at night, use your high-beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic.

This won’t necessarily deter the deer from entering the roadway, but it will increase visibility so that you can more easily spot the deer.

• Know when deer are on the move. Prime times to find deer near the roadside are around dawn and from dusk to late evening.

• Brake firmly if you notice a deer near the road. Slow down and stop if necessary. Do not to swerve out of your lane into on-coming traffic or off the shoulder and into a ditch.

• If you do strike a deer, don’t approach it.

An injured deer is frightened and can injure you as well as further injuring itself. Motorists are encouraged to contact their local, county or state law enforcement agency to report an accident involving deer, and should not attempt to remove a dead or injured deer from the roadway. State law requires that all crashes resulting in damage of at least $1,500 be reported to police.

Rural interests need support Congress left town for its Thanksgiving break without passing a new farm bill to replace the one that expired in September.

And if it doesn’t pass something by the end of the year, a bunch of agricultural subsidies and nutrition programs will expire, and parts of the law will revert to the original 1938 and 1949 versions that would push milk prices up to $7 a gallon.

It is not enough just to say that economically stable farming is essential to putting food on the table at reasonable prices. Or that farmers are subject to potentially ruinous risks related to the weather or insects and blight. American farmers must also demonstrate in measurable ways that they are using sustainable farming practices that protect the environment and preserve the land for future farmers.

They must demonstrate that they are willing to accept mandatory conservation rules and participation as a tradeoff for asking American taxpayers to subsidize their business.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Checkout kindness To the Editor: Call it pay-it-forward or the spirit of Christmas giving, but I wish to publicly thank the very generous young man I encountered in the Algonquin Walmart on Nov. 21.

I had purchased a turkey breast and a few fixings to the tune of about $26. While searching for a penny to avoid more change, this young man jumped forward with his credit card and said. “Let me pay for your groceries today.”

Both the clerk and I stood there dumbfounded, but I want to say how grateful I was and what a boost to my faith in mankind it was.

I hope I can do the same for someone else someday. Thanks, young Samaritan.

Still supporting Franks To the Editor: As an opponent of same-sex marriage and a longtime supporter of state Rep. Jack Franks, I contacted him to learn why he voted in favor of the law.

Jack explained that his decision had been determined by several factors, the first of which was listening to constituents. He had held five town-hall meetings this year, sent out multiple surveys and went door-to-door over the summer to speak directly with voters. The citizens of the 63rd District were in favor of legalizing same-sex mar-

riage in Illinois.

Jack also explained that after the recent Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, denying gays and lesbians the right to marry was unequal and unfair treatment under the law. He reminded me that less than 50 years ago, interracial marriages were illegal in many states; that 70 years ago, property deeds had prohibitions on selling to blacks, Catholics, Jews and Hispanics; and that less than a century ago, women could not vote in this country.

Though I do not condone samesex marriage or homosexual or heterosexual cohabitation before marriage, I respect the reasoning behind Jack’s vote. Nobody agrees with anybody on every issue, and I told Jack that I would have voted differently but that I will proudly continue to support him in the future.

I completely agree that we must curb our spending, but capping the debt ceiling is a very short-sighted and irresponsible solution.

How to sound off We welcome original letters on public issues.

If Mr. Hultgren had succeeded in not raising the debt ceiling, the markets throughout the world would have been thrown into financial chaos, and the value of all those 401(k) accounts could have dropped to nothing.

After the vote, I sent Mr. Hultgren an email with the above points. His response simply repeated that we must curb our spending.

I emailed Mr. Hultgren again, asking what his plan was to curb our spending, other than capping the debt ceiling. No response. Sorry, Mr. Hultgren, no kudos. In fact, you are on probation.

good can come of it.

Are you familiar with Washington’s farewell speech, where he warned of entangling alliances?

Why do we want to tie ourselves to a nation that is either incapable or unwilling to (and truth be known, is ambivalent to) defend itself from the Taliban?

Do you remember Vietnam? How we fought for years for a people content to let us do the fighting?

Do you want to expend the lives of another 50,000 of our young men in a country in which we really have no interest? A country that does not consider us a friend but, like the rest of that part of the world, the Great Satan?

Why are you letting the man in the White House send your sons to die in a land that hates them? Is it not time you held that man accountable? Is it not time you said to that man in the White House, “Enough of your nation building!

Send home my sons and have done with Afghanistan!”

Gov. Quinn has a lot on the line with pension reform deal As I write this, the House Speaker, Senate President and the two Republican minority leaders have announced a deal on a long-awaited and much-anticipated pension reform bill.

Other than the obvious fact that pension payments are diverting billions of dollars from other state programs like education and human services, Gov. Pat Quinn really wants this proposal passed before the end of the year for a couple of reasons – both political.

Illinois statute requires the governor to propose a new budget based on existing statutes. In the past, governors almost always would say they’d balance the budget if a new tax or fee was passed, or funds were transferred or programs were legislatively changed. That’s no longer permitted.

Quinn’s fiscal year 2015 budget address is scheduled for Feb. 19. If a pension reform bill is passed and signed into law by the end of the year, it won’t take effect until June 1. But that’s after the budget address

and before the start of the new fiscal year. So, Quinn still could use the proposal’s expected savings when he introduces his budget.

And that’s important because most of the temporary income-tax increase expires smack dab in the middle of the coming fiscal year, which will blow more than a $3 billion hole in Quinn’s budget. And that means Quinn will be forced to introduce a budget that makes huge cuts if pension reform doesn’t pass.

If pension reform passes by the end of the year, the savings, which could be as high as $1.8 billion in the first year, legally can be used to “balance” Quinn’s introduced budget. With a strong revenue forecast, it’s possible that the coming year’s revenues could almost cover the remaining hole from the tax-increase expiration.

That doesn’t mean, however, that Illinois’ finances would be in the clear. If past is prologue, a court will either set aside the new pension law while its constitutionality is adjudicated, or (perhaps more likely)

VIEWS Rich Miller require that any savings produced by the law be placed into an escrow account. If that happens, then legislators and Quinn will have to deal with a new hole.

The responsible thing to do, of course, would be to not include the pension reform savings in a new budget if the bill is passed. But that would mean proposing an election year budget that slashes education and human services to the bone, and what governor wants to do that ever – let alone in an election year?

And that brings us to the second reason.

The state pension systems are in dire straits because the state never has made enough contributions to the systems. For proof, just look at municipalities outside Chicago, which are required to make full

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

payments. The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund is very close to being fully funded. No crisis at all.

Quinn and the legislative leaders have long pushed for a funding guarantee to make sure that the state doesn’t skip its payments again.

But Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner, who now leads the GOP primary field in two recent polls, is dead set against a funding guarantee.

Does Rauner really want the state to have the flexibility to skip pension payments again, which could lead to even more problems down the road? Well, there’s something else going on here.

Rauner wants a complete revamp of the pension system. He’d immediately put employees into a 401(k) plan instead. The irony is a bit rich here. Rauner’s investment firm made a fortune off of investing state pension fund money. Rauner is now semiretired and reported making $53 million from his investments last year. A retired teacher making

$53,000 a year would have to live another thousand years to equal one year’s income for Rauner.

Anyway, the funding guarantee is mainly just an excuse to derail the pension deal. Once pension reform is passed, it’s doubtful that legislators will want to revisit it unless the courts strike it down as unconstitutional. And since the proposal has support from the most powerful Republicans in the Illinois General Assembly, it would be uncomfortable for Rauner to continue his harangues against the compromise over the next year. Better to just kill it up front.

So since Quinn could end up facing Rauner in the general election, defeating the wealthy Republican on the legislative battlefield now would take some air out of his well-funded campaign down the road.

Passing this bill, in other words, is a must-have “twofer” for Quinn.

Common Core critics relentless

President Barack Obama waves to the audience Mondayas he finishes speaking at the World AIDS Day event in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington, D.C.

Democrats keep distance as Obama’s popularity drops

By CHARLES BABINGTON The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Democrats running for re-election in Arkansas, Louisiana and other Republican-leaning states faced enough problems before President Barack Obama’s popularity swooned in November. Now they are awkwardly distancing themselves from him a year before the election, seeking the right balance between independence and betrayal.

A popular president can help his party’s candidates for Congress and governor candidates in mid-term elections.

But Democrats increasingly worry they could suffer losses, much as they did in 2010, Obama’s first mid-term elections.

In a twist few expected, Republicans are still hammering the issue that fueled their

successes in 2010: the health care overhaul they call Obamacare. They are making life especially uncomfortable for Democratic senators in states Obama lost.

Sen. Mary Landrieu, facing a tough re-election bid in Louisiana, recently posed for photographers exiting Air Force One with Obama after flying from Washington to New Orleans. But she skipped the president’s public event there to attend a small-dollar fundraiser elsewhere, saying it had long been on her schedule.

Other Democratic lawmakers are showing similar wariness, much to Republicans’ delight.

“Vulnerable Democrats like having President Obama raising money for them in New York and Los Angeles, but avoid appearing on stage with him in their home

states,” said Brad Dayspring, who helps run Republican senatorial campaigns.

In nearly every state, Republicans are highlighting instances in which Democrats echoed Obama’s now-disproven claim that people could keep their health insurance plans if they wanted.

To be sure, there’s nothing new about lawmakers keeping an uneasy space from presidents with poor or middling popularity ratings.

Several Republicans made no mention of then-President George W. Bush in their 2006 campaigns, and Bush was a bigger liability in 2008.

Until recently, Obama’s personal popularity remained healthy even when many Americans disliked his policies. But Democrats are alarmed to see his approval ratings hit all-time lows in recent polls.

FedEx offers to ship trees for free • TREES Continued from page A1 which would then be delivered to a select military base. He said you can’t underestimate the value of sending service men and women a Christmas tree.

“The military personnel live on a pretty low wage,” Richardson said. “They have a lot of benefits when they live on the base, but they don’t have a lot of money.

We thought this would be a nice way to spread the Christmas spirit by giving these extra trees to the troops.”

Customers are able to buy a tree for the troops – and include a hand-written note – or give a monetary dona-

tion to the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, but Richardson donates the majority of the trees himself.

Richardson said Trees for Troops took off when FedEx agreed to ship the Christmas trees for free in 2005. Since then FedEx has logged more than 419,000 miles for the program.

“FedEx offered to do all of the transportation of these trees, which was a magnificent gift,” he said. “I think the value of their gift is over $250,000 in just the trucking on a per mile basis.”

Richardson hand picks all of the trees that are sent to the military bases, most of which are Frazier Furs and Douglas Furs, then travels to the Great Lakes Naval Base to watch the soldiers pick

out their trees.

“It’s such a huge hit on the base to get a real Christmas tree,” Richardson said.

“These guys are away from home for Christmas. To get a Christmas tree on the base, it means a lot to them.”

“There’s that one-on-one experience,” said Wendy Richardson, George’s wife and Christmas SPIRIT Foundation board member.

“We’re not just dumping the trees in one place for them to come and pick up. We open them all up and they look around and select the one they want. That’s the part that feels good to me.”

WASHINGTON – Critics are relentless in warning about what they see as the folly of the new Common Core academic standards, designed to prepare students for college or a job by the time they graduate from high school.

The standards are being implemented in 45 states and the District of Columbia, but critics say they were written in private and never tested in real classrooms, and that educators aren’t familiar enough with the standards to use them. The standards also come with a multi-billion dollar price tag.

“Children are coming home with worksheets and their parents don’t recognize it,” said Emmett McGroarty, a director at the American Principles Project, a conservative group that opposes the

standards. “Common Core is reckless in what it’s doing to children.”

Common Core’s supporters think the worries are overblown and miss nuances of the sweeping changes that spell out the reading and math skills that students should have at each grade level, from kindergarten through high school.

But even the most vocal supporters admit they cannot guarantee the standards will succeed.

There’s one thing both sides agree on: When fully implemented, Common Core stands to reshape the vast majority of American classrooms.

Critics – parents, teachers and tea partyers alike – argue that states were pressured to sign onto the Common Core standards to get federal economic stimulus money to keep teachers on the job.

In fact, to qualify for more

than $4 billion in aid, states had to put into place standards to prepare students for life after high school and test student performance. Common Core wasn’t specifically prescribed, but the Obama administration clearly signaled it was the preferred option starting in 2009.

“Normally, to go through standards it would take years,” said Bill Evers, a researcher at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

“In California, we had six weeks.”

Such quick approval resulted in new standards that some didn’t fully understand.

For instance, the standards include tougher approaches to math – such as rigid motion in geometry – over more common approaches. “It has never successfully been used in K-12 education in the United States, in any state, in any country,” Evers said of rigid motion.

A 50 member panel declared the draft finished Monday, paving the way for a nationwide referendum within 30 days to ratify the document.

The opposition, meanwhile, scrambled to secure enough votes in parliament to oust the Cabinet and try to force an early presidential election, in the biggest unrest in the country since the 2004 Orange Revolution. President Viktor Yanukovych struggled to reaffirm his grip on power as thousands of demonstrators besieged government buildings in Kiev, his party suffered defections and three cities in the west of the country openly defied the central government.

Language to prevent abuse in plan • PENSIONS Continued from page A1 needed to pay benefits as currently promised to employees and retirees, largely because lawmakers for years have failed to fully fund the state’s payments to the systems. But until last week, legislative leaders were unable to agree on how to fix the problem – even as pension payments grew to take up about one-fifth of the state’s general funds budget and the major credit rating agencies repeatedly downgraded the state’s rating. Illinois now has the lowest credit rating of any state in the country.

A number of cities and states have dealt with similar pension troubles, but Illinois has notably lagged behind in finding the political will to deal with its ballooning financial problem.

The proposal would push back the retirement age for workers ages 45 and younger, on a sliding scale. The annual 3 percent cost-of-living increases for retirees would be replaced with a system that

only provides the increases on a portion of benefits, based on how many years a beneficiary was in their job.

Some workers would have the option of freezing their pension and starting a 401(k)style defined contribution plan.

Language to prevent “pension abuses” is also part of the plan, as nongovernment employees such as union bosses couldn’t participate and new hires wouldn’t be able to bank sick or vacation time to boost pensions.

Republican and Democratic legislative leaders and Gov. Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, have spent recent days drumming up support for the plan through conference calls and meetings with individual members. At the same time, Illinois unions spent Monday flooding the offices of lawmakers as they work to oppose the measure.

Labor groups say it’s unfair to retirees and believe that some parts of the plan are unconstitutional. Union leaders planned to speak against the proposal during a Tuesday morning hearing.

Some conservatives also criticized the plan as not going far enough, saying public employees’ retirement benefits will still be far more generous than those provided in the private sector. There also was criticism that the process was too rushed.

Some members, including Democratic state Rep. Greg Harris of Chicago, said they were comfortable with the short turnaround.

“These concepts have been talked about for a long time,” Harris said, acknowledging that there was “natural fear or concern of if this is the best possible solution.”

Harris plans to vote yes.

Only one of the three Republicans seeking their party’s nomination for the 2014 governor’s race supports the agreement. State Sen. Bill Brady of Bloomington, a pension committee member, said it was a difficult decision.

And U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, the state’s highest ranking Republican, said Monday the General Assembly should reject the bill “that neither lawmakers nor the voters have had the time to read.”

LITH MAN JAILED ON SEX CHARGES LAKE IN THE HILLS – A Lake in the Hills man remains in custody on $400,000 bond, accused of 14 counts of sexually abusing children.

Otto L. Bobadilla, 46, of 160 Village Creek Drive, first was charged Nov. 19 with one count of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He’s since been held at McHenry County Jail.

Lake in the Hills police continued their investigation and an additional 12 charges – including four Class X felonies – were filed Nov. 27. Bobadilla was served at the McHenry County Jail.

The two alleged victims are related to Bobadilla, Lake in the Hills Police Department Chief of Support Services Mary Frake said. She declined to elaborate on the gender of the children.

Predatory criminal sexual assault is a Class X felony punishable by six to 30 years in prison.

The charge alleges sexual penetration, while aggravated criminal sexual abuse involves other forms of sexual conduct.

His next court appearance is Dec. 10.

Rehab center moving on Bull Valley ordinance change causes company to withdraw proposal

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com BULL VALLEY – Ownership eyeing Bull Valley for an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center will have to look elsewhere after a last-minute ordinance change from the village led to their withdrawal.

The village board voted last month to eliminate the “group dwelling”

special use option via an amendment to the housing ordinance, prompting Lemont-based La Voie Inc. to withdraw its petition.

At a public hearing conducted by the zoning board in early October, community members had showed up strongly in opposition to the group home for adolescent and adult males.

Ownership had pinpointed for its operation a for-sale Bull Valley resi-

dence on 25 acres of land at 9414 Route 120.

The Bull Valley zoning board heard close to three hours of public comment at the meeting before postponing to Monday night.

The village board passed the amendment in late November.

Village Board Trustee Emily Berendt said the petition from La Voie was what made the board “get

moving” on the change.

“But we’ve been reviewing our housing ordinance for some time,” she said.

Still, the move raises legal concerns, said Mark Saladin, the attorney for La Voie and a Woodstock councilman.

“There are some fair housing

St. Thomas the Apostle Church plans dedication ceremony on Sunday

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Monsignor Daniel Hermes is turning St. Thomas the Apostle Church into a 24/7 house of prayer.

A longtime dream of the Catholic priest will become a reality Sunday when the church officially dedicates Holy Hearts Chapel – a new perpetual adoration chapel connected to the Oak Street Church. The chapel will be open to the public from 6

a.m. to 10 p.m. every day while members who request and receive security cards can access the chapel at any time.

A dedication ceremony led by Bishop David Malloy of the Rockford Diocese will be at the chapel following the 5:30 p.m. Sunday Mass at the Oak Street Church on 451 W. Terra Cotta Ave. in Crystal Lake. Before then, Hermes said finishing touches including a stained glass window and pew installation need to take place.

“Pope John Paul II encouraged every parish to have a perpetual adoration chapel and more and more people are responding to that around the world,” Hermes said. “We’ve talked about it here for years so we are very, very excited and very grateful it is finally here.”

Once the congregation decided to pursue the chapel, it did not take long to raise the money. Hermes said within six weeks, enough parishioners made three-year financial pledges to fully fund the

roughly $700,000 addition.

Hermes said it would be an important supplement to the church, offering a silent haven in the often fast-paced environment of the church that hosts weddings, musical performances and large masses. By accommodating no more than 30 people at one time, the Holy Hearts Chapel will maintain an intimate atmosphere.

“I think the church and the chapel really enrich each

McHenry keeps levy level Cary plans vote Council votes 6-1 to News to your phone nix 5 percent hike Text the keyword NWHMCHENRY

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Despite staff recommending a 5 percent increase in its property tax levy, the McHenry City Council voted 6-1 to keep the levy level for a third year.

With the economy still sluggish and property values expected to drop again, several aldermen and residents said it was inappropriate for the city to raise taxes.

The proposed 5 percent increase would have brought the levy to $5 million and added about $25 to the tax bill of the owner of a home valued at $200,000 with a general homestead tax exemption. That does not take into consideration what other taxing bodies de-

It would have been the first time the city took advantage of its home rule status to raise its levy beyond the amount allowed under the state’s tax cap. The city of McHenry became a home rule community in October 2010 but decided to follow the cap’s restrictions regardless that first year and then kept the levy flat the subsequent two years.

Property taxes make up about 29 percent of the city’s general fund revenues and 16 percent of all revenues.

City Administrator Derik Morefield pointed to $100,000

worth of high-priority improvements required under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, nearly $150,000 in dues to the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association through which the city provides recreation services to residents with disabilities, and an additional $94,000 in police pension fund contributions to address previous underfunding.

The city has also eliminated 22.5 full-time staffing equivalents, reduced capital improvements and put off vehicle and equipment purchases.

The proposed increase equals about 1 percent of the budget, Alderman Victor Santi said, adding that for that amount, he thinks the city can find the money elsewhere.

Alderman Andy Glab agreed, saying the city can find “a little here and a little

on levy increase

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Cary officials are proposing to increase the village’s levy by about $52,000.

Village Board members Tuesday will consider their annual property tax levy.

Staff members have proposed to increase the village’s levy to $2.5 million up from the $2.45 million it received this year.

Because the village is non-home rule, Cary is limited in how much it can take in according to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. It can either increase its levy by 5 percent over what it took in this year,

If you go n What: Cary Village Board n When: 7 p.m. Tuesday n Where: Village Hall, 655 Village Hall Drive. or by the rate of inflation, whichever is less.

The consumer price index increase for the latest levy is 1.7 percent. Village officials expect property values to decrease by 8.97 percent, according to village documents.

The limits do not apply to any new property growth that took place during the year. Village officials expect new property to increase by 0.43

JOHNSBURG: MAN MAINTAINS INNOCENCE

Casciaro asks judge for shorter prison sentence

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – In court documents, an appellate attorney for Mario Casciaro says the Johnsburg man was unfairly sentenced because he refused to admit his guilt.

Casciaro, 30, maintains he had nothing to do with the 2002 death and disappearance of 17-year-old Brian Carrick.

Casciaro was sentenced last month to 26 years in prison for first-degree murder.

Casciaro’s attorney, Kathleen Zellner, is asking the judge to reduce his sentence to the minimum 20 years, saying the court cannot impose a

greater sentence because the defendant maintains his innocence. Prosecutors had asked for a 30-year prison sentence.

“Your honor, I sit here before you a man who has been found guilty by a jury, but I am a man who is factually innocent,” Casciaro said at his sentencing hearing last month.

A number of character witnesses testified at the hearing on Casciaro’s behalf, describing him as compassionate and caring.

“A person who is caring and compassionate would stand up and take responsibility for their acts. A person who is caring and compassionate would let the Carrick family know

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

what has happened to Brian so that they can have a proper burial for him,” McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather said at the sentencing hearing.

Carrick last was seen Dec. 20, 2002, walking into the former Val’s Foods Grocery store that Casciaro’s parents owned and where Carrick worked.

Prosecutors have said that Casciaro sent a third man, Shane Lamb, to intimidate Carrick into paying a drug debt. Therefore, Casciaro legally was responsible for Carrick’s death. Lamb testified that he likely delivered the fatal punch.

The matter is set before Prather on Dec. 13.

HUNTLEY: INTERVIEWS TO BEGIN SOON

Library names interim directors

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Two department heads from the Huntley Area Public Library will temporarily man the top librarian spot once Director Patrick McDonald leaves Tuesday for the private sector.

Public Services Director Rosie Lukas and Information Services Director Elizabeth Steffensen will serve as interim co-directors until the Huntley Library Board names a full-time replacement.

The board is expected to start initial interviews with a pool of applicants next week, said Leigh Ann Porsch, the library’s communications and development coordinator.

“They are looking for the right candidate, so I don’t think they are going to make any quick decisions,” Porsch said. “They aren’t trying to work under any particular deadline.”

In her current role, Lukas overseas staff tasked with selecting the library’s materials available to the public for

checkout. Steffensen manages the library’s information desk and provides information technology support.

McDonald created the void at director after accepting a position in early November as chief operating officer for a private education group based in the Chicago area. His last day is Tuesday, Porsch said.

McDonald replaced longtime director Virginia Maravilla in 2009 after working at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library as the director of library experiences.

He said he has heard “phenomenal” stories about personal conversions and powerful prayer from other parishes with perpetual adoration chapels.

Village also plans vote on alarm-monitoring program • CARY Continued from page B1 percent, according to village documents.

Final tax rates won’t be set until property values are set in the spring.

Estimates on how the levy would affect the typical homeowner were not done by the village because home values can be volatile, said Village Administrator Chris Clark.

Village Board members also are set to vote on whether to terminate its alarm-monitoring program.

The village has had a fire and security alarm-monitoring program since 1994. However, dispatch services have changed since that time, including the creation of the Southeast Emergency Communications dispatch service, of which Cary is a member.

According to village docu-

ments, the alarm lines that are part of the program, which has 11 subscribers, are connected to an obsolete monitoring system within the department.

The alarms are monitored by members of the police department’s records office and

by SEECOM. “There are times, however, when the police department records area is not staffed and the alarms are only monitored by SEECOM,” according to a village memo written by Clark.

The village can terminate its alarm-monitoring services with six months notice, according to village documents.

Among the entities that have fire and security alarm-monitoring through the village of Cary are the Fox River Grove Public Library, the Fox River Grove Municipal Center, the Cary Post Office and the Fox River Grove Dire Department stations.

Board votes unanimously to recommend petition be denied • CENTER Continued from page B1 issues that come from their actions,” Saladin said.

Monday night’s continuation of October’s public hearing was moved back to Village Hall after officials had originally planned to hold it in a different location to accommodate the expected crowd.

It included about 15 minutes of public comment in opposition to the rehab center before the zoning board voted unanimously to recommend to the Village Board that the petition be denied.

Village Attorney Michael

Smoron said the board decided to make a recommendation – despite the withdrawal of petition – because of the “ambiguity” of the facility.

“I’m not sure this was a ‘group dwelling,’ ” Smoron said. “It was more of an alcohol rehab facility.”

Regardless, La Voie President Kyle Oremus said her prospective facility has moved on. She didn’t attend Monday’s hearing.

“We have since received numerous responses of support wherein communities have reached out to us and are interested in our vision,” she said.

Sugar Buzz in McHenry to close at end of year

77.64 16008.77

McHENRY – Sugar Buzz Cupcakes and Coffee, which opened in McHenry in 2012, plans to close at end of the month, citing the weak economy.

Owners Mike and Anisa Cichon told the Northwest Herald in April that they hoped Sugar Buzz, 2210 W. Route 120, McHenry, would turn a profit this year after staying afloat in 2012.

“We started Sugar Buzz to give our family a bright future, but with the current economy, we just couldn’t get to where we needed to be to make it worth being away from our children so much,” said an announcement posted on the company’s Facebook page Monday.

The announcement said Sugar Buzz would “do our best to keep your favorites in stock until the end, but will be phasing out Flavors of The Week and just kind of baking day to day soon.”

New taco, burrito restaurant to open AP photo

An employee walks a wide aisle at Amazon.com’s 1.2 million-square-foot fulfillment center in Phoenix. Millions of shoppers were expected to click on items on Monday as retailers revved up deals to grab online holiday shopping dollars on the first working day after the busy holiday weekend.

Americans click for deals on Cyber Monday Big online sales day dominated by mobile shoppers

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – Millions of Americans took advantage of online deals ranging from free shipping to hundreds of dollars off electronics and half-price clothing Monday, which was expected to be the busiest online shopping day of the year.

The spending surge on so-called Cyber Monday came after a disappointing holiday weekend in stores.

And it showed that Americans are increasingly comfortable buying items on tablets and smartphones.

Early results showed online shopping was up 18.7 percent compared with the same time last year, according to figures by IBM Benchmark.

Mobile traffic, which includes smartphones and tablets, accounted for 30 percent of all online traffic.

Brandon Harris, 27, from Memphis, Tenn., started shopping at midnight Sunday and by Monday had spent around $300 and completed half of his Christmas shopping, including a Barbie doll for his niece and a TV for his mother.

“I haven’t shopped for a Christmas present in a store in three years,” he said, making purchases from his iPad instead. “It’s a lot more convenient to be at home and shop.”

The National Retail Federation, a trade group, predicts more than 131 million people will shop online Monday, up about 2 percent from last year.

Meanwhile, UPS expected to pick up

“It’s a lot more convenient to be at home and shop.”

Brandon Harris Online consumer more than 32 million packages Monday, about a million more than Cyber Monday last year.

Research firm comScore expects Cyber Monday sales of $2 billion, up from about $1.47 billion last year.

Online sales account for about 10 percent of total holiday spending, which is expected to grow about 3.9 percent to $602.1 billion for the months of November and December.

Joel Anderson, president and CEO of Walmart.com, said he anticipates Cyber Monday to be the site’s busiest day ever. He said 2013 is the “tipping point” for mobile traffic, which includes smartphones and tablets.

More than half of Walmart.com’s traffic came from smartphones and tablets on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, Anderson said. And he expected the same to be true on Monday.

“2013 is the year online went mobile,” he said.

Arthur Baynes, 30, was checking out email deals on his smartphone.

The travel insurance claims adjuster from Richmond, Va., was looking for a new TV and Blu-Ray games for his younger relatives.

“When I’m looking for something, I’ll look it up on my phone and then

use the Amazon app on my iPad to buy,” he said Monday. “It’s just easier. I don’t have to sit down where my computer is.”

Cyber Monday comes after retailers’ failed efforts to boost spending during the holiday weekend. They offered big discounts in early November, and several opened stores on Thanksgiving Day. But the retail federation predicts that spending fell for the first time ever, down 2.9 percent to $57.4 billion, during the four days that ended Sunday.

About 81 percent of retailers planned to offer deals specifically for Cyber Monday, according to the NRF’s online arm, called Shop.org.

The name Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by Shop.org to push people to shop online. After retailers revved up deals for the day, it became the busiest online shopping day in 2010. But since then, more people shop online with faster Internet access, and retailers have expanded deals, stretching them into Cyber Week or even Cyber Month. This year, retailers such as Amazon and Wal-Mart rolled out online deals beginning in November.

Belus Capital management analyst Brian Sozzi said that’s the new normal, however.

“The consumer has become immune to Cyber Monday and Cyber Week, they just want the discounts continually once the calendar hits November,” he said.

ALGONQUIN – A new Mexican restaurant plans to move into the space formerly occupied by Diced Fresh, 134 S. Randall Road, Algonquin.

Signs recently went up for the restaurant El Fuego Tacos & Burritos. A listing agent for the property said the restaurant plans to open in midDecember, though an exact date wasn’t available.

The owner of the El Fuego Tacos & Burritos could not be reached for comment Monday.

Algonquin Community Development Director Russell Farnum said he didn’t know when the restaurant would open.

Bentley’s Bagels & Brew closes in Algonquin ALGONQUIN – Bentley’s Bagels & Brew, 124 S. Randall Road, Algonquin, recently closed its doors.

The bagel and coffee shop in front of grocer Joe Caputo & Sons Fruit Market was shuttered with little notice in November. Its phone has since been disconnected, and its website was down.

A sign on the door reads “CLOSED” and “Thank you for your business!”

Many customers posted on websites and Facebook that Bentley’s Bagels & Brew’s freshly-made bagels will be missed.

Country Donuts in Crystal Lake had been selling bagels from Bentley’s for eight or nine months, said Scott Offord, co-owner with Larry Swanson of the 24-hour restaurant known for its doughnuts and coffee.

Organizers of an outdoor festival headlined by the rap-metal group Insane Clown Posse are finding new digs for the event after six years of staging it in southern Illinois, and the sheriff couldn’t be happier.

Jason Webber, a spokesman for suburban Detroit-based Psychopathic Records Inc., promoters of the annual Gathering of the Juggalos, confirmed Monday the spectacle won’t be held at the site near Cave-In-Rock, a Hardin County village along the Ohio River.

Webber declined to elaborate, including about where the festival would be relocated or why the location was being changed.

“We should be announcing all that in the foreseeable future,” Webber said.

Gaga unveils life-size silicon dolls in Japan

Area of fatal Walker crash known for street racing Police say the area where “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker died in a car crash is known to attract street racers.

Walker and his friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas died in the one-car crash Saturday in the Southern California community of Valencia.

The street where the crash happened forms a loop amid commercial buildings that is isolated from traffic, especially on weekends.

California Highway Patrol Sgt. Rick Miler calls the neighborhood “a hot spot for street racers.”

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is still investigating, but already has said speed was a factor.

Walker’s publicist said the action star was Rodas’ passenger.

Fans of Walker continued to gather Monday at the site about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles, leaving flowers and memorabilia from the movie franchise about fast cars that made him famous.

One-of-a-kind Lady Gaga has been replicated.

The pop star unveiled life-size dolls in her likeness, dressed in her flamboyant costumes, at a Tokyo event Sunday.

A person leaning against the silicon dolls’ chests can hear Lady Lady Gaga Gaga music and messages.

Gaga said she was honored to have replicas of herself. When her friends saw the dolls, “they were so excited to take pictures of me with the dolls, and then all of a sudden the dolls took over. And the dolls were the most important thing in the room. And this is a beautiful thing,” she said.

Japanese industrial and design companies teamed with her record label to create the Gagadoll, inspired by her new “Artpop” album. They’re prototypes not yet available for sale.

At the news conference, the 27-year-old singer made her grand entrance wearing a red plaid jumpsuit and wrapped in coils of the same fabric.

Gaga is participating in a charity auction to benefit the 2011 earthquake and tsunami victims. She’s hoping one of the two Gaga-styled Hello Kitty dolls will raise a lot of money for the cause.

J.Lo to receive parenting honor Jennifer Lopez is being honored by the March of Dimes.

Lopez, the 44-year-old mother of 5-year-old twins,

Maximilian and Emme, will receive the Grace Kelly Award at the eighth annual March of Dimes luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Friday. She’s being recognized as a celebrity parent role model supporting women giving birth to healthy babies after full-term pregnancies.

The 75-year-old nonprofit organization aims to prevent birth defects, premature births and infant mortality.

A&E networks President and CEO Nancy Dubuc and Dr. Balaji Govindaswami, chief of newborn medicine at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, also will be honored.

Lopez said in a statement: “As a mother myself, I am aware of the importance of healthful pregnancies and babies.”

Reese Witherspoon was honored at last year’s event.

Gandolfini’s hometown remembers late actor Cast members of “The Sopranos” were on hand over the weekend as a New Jersey town remembered native son James Gandolfini.

Park Ridge dedicated a section of Park Avenue to the actor best known for his role as mobster Tony Soprano in the TV series. Gandolfini died in Italy in June.

Cast members Steve Schirripa, Vincent Curatola, Tony Sirico, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore and John Ventimiglia were among the hundreds of people who turned out Sunday in the northern New Jersey town where Gandolfini grew up and returned often.

The Record newspaper reports Gandolfini’s 14-year-old son, Michael, said he would never forget eating with his father at a nearby diner. He said his father told him about every place in the town.

Northwest Herald Girls Tennis Players of the Year Jillian Wallace (left) and Evelyn Youel, both seniors at Crystal Lake Central, have been playing doubles together since they were 8 years old.

CL Central seniors Wallace, Youel good in singles, great in doubles

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com n tennis, doubles teams are often better than the sum of their parts.

Crystal Lake Central seniors Evelyn Youel and Jillian Wallace dedicated their girls tennis high school careers to doing just that.

Starting in their freshman year, the two have been inseparable as doubles partners.

It wasn’t until this past season that they even played any singles

matches.

Youel said doubles is a completely different game than singles and is more than just putting two good players on the court at the same time. It involves strategy, cooperation and knowing without even looking what your partner is going to do.

“Jill and I were able to complement each other’s weaknesses,” Youel said. “In doubles, it’s possible to be stronger than we were individually.”

said that was evident in their fourth-round match at state against Maine South’s Kamila Czosnyka and Marti Wind, two singles players put together in doubles at sectionals.

Youel and Wallace beat them,

6-2, 6-2, to reach the quarterfinals.

“In singles [Youel and Wallace] would qualify (for state), but the goal of being top eight at singles was not there,” Lashbrook said.

“Those players from Maine South were singles players; they both would have killed [Youel and Wallace] in singles.”

Youel and Wallace finished their senior season together by taking sixth at state in doubles. On the way, they won the Fox Valley Conference Championships at No. 1 doubles, the Cary-Grove Sectional

and helped the Tigers to an FVC Fox Division title.

For their accomplishments, Youel and Wallace are the Northwest Herald Girls Tennis Players of the Year, as selected by the sports staff with input from area coaches.

Also given consideration was Prairie Ridge’s Callie Schmit, who won the FVC title at No. 1 singles and C-G Sectional and helped the Wolves to conference and sectional team titles.

In order to lose that game, the Bears had complete breakdowns of both the whole offense and the whole defense, making it extremely difficult to assign either individual or positional grades, and giving you a pretty good indicator of what the coaching grades should be.

So let’s get that done first.

Marc Trestman and his staff get a D+. Gaining 480 yards of offense and getting five quarterback sacks from the 23rd-rated pass rush in the league gets you a few brownie points.

But ... while six penalties for 51 yards isn’t the end of the world, the silliness and lack of discipline on several of them

CHICAGO – Attention, Bears fans: Brandon Saad feels your pain.

The Blackhawks’ secondyear winger grew up near Pittsburgh, where the Steelers dominate sports talk from the first day of training camp until the final play of the season.

Yes, Saad still follows his boyhood team.

Yes, he knows they’re 5-7 after a tough Week 13 loss.

Yes, he knows the Bears are in a similar, sinking boat.

“I can relate,” Saad said Monday with a weary smile.

Not only that, but Saad and his teammates happily can serve as your winter sports saviors.

The high-flying Hawks will return to the United Center on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, marking

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush points to coaches as well as players.

The Bears were 2 for 11 converting third downs. Josh McCown is going to take a hit for that as well, but at some point you have to realize the coaches aren’t putting their offense in the best plays to succeed.

Worst of all is changing your identity at the most critical juncture of a game. Trestman has ID’d himself as a bit of a gambler in recent weeks, going for it with mixed results, professing great confidence in his offense.

No point guard blew out his knee and was lost for the season. No bespectacled football coach abandoned logic and decided to attempt a long field goal on second down.

No baseball team tried to sell you holiday ticket packages because, um, well, just because.

NIU FOOTBALL NOTES

Bowling Green boasts nation’s No. 6 defense

Avs goalie still free on bond on assault charge

Difficult task awaits Huskies in MAC Championship Game

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com Bowling Green football coach Dave Clawson has had the service of both his coordinators since he took the job after the 2008 season.

He’s the only coach in the Mid-American Conference who can say that.

Offensive coordinator Warren Ruggiero and defensive coordinator Mike Elko have been with Clawson from the time he arrived in northwest Ohio.

And lately, Elko’s defenses have been very, very good. This season, the Falcons are giving up only 13.8 points a game, fifth Next in the nation. Florida State is giving up a nation-low 11 points NIU vs. Bowla contest, and is followed by Alaing Green, MAC bama, Louisville and Michigan State.

Championship Last season, Bowling Green Game, 7 p.m. gave up 16.8 points a game.

Friday, ESPN2, That defense will be put to AM-670 the test Friday when the Falcons take on Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference Championship Game in Detroit. NIU averages 42.8 points a game, ninth in the nation.

For the most part, Elko has been with Clawson since 2002, when Clawson – then the head coach at Fordham, hired Elko to become Fordham’s linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator.

“Mike has been with me more years probably than he wishes he was, over the past decade here,” Clawson joked during Monday’s MAC Championship teleconference. “... We have a long history together. I hired him when he was, I think, 23 or 24 years old.”

It’s gotten to the point where BCS schools with coordinator openings may come calling for Elko.

Clawson said there was interest after last season.

“Mike certainly had the opportunity to leave last year. He had a couple different opportunities, fortunately Bowling Green’s a great place to work, and we get good support here,” Clawson said. “It’s a great place and a great community to live in. Mike made the decision for his career and for his family that he wanted to stay. We’ll keep fighting that fight, and try to keep him here, and we’ll see what happens.”

The Falcons’ defense also has plenty of experience itself, as it is littered with seniors such as defensive backs BooBoo Gates, Ryland Ward and Cameron Truss, as well as linebacker Paul Swan and defensive tackle Ted Ouellet.

Statistically, this is the best defense the Huskies have faced this season. Iowa, NIU’s opponent Week 1, is 11th in the nation, giving up 18.8 points a game. Over the past four games combined, the Falcons have given up only 17 points total.

“I think [the system] holds everyone accountable. It gives everyone a job to do, and it’s not just focusing on one player to make all the plays,” Swan said. “Every guy at every level is making plays at any given point of the game and it’s really a collective effort from our defense.”

Carey making players off-limits: NIU players will not be allowed to talk to the media this week until Thursday’s MAC Championship news conference in Detroit. Rod Carey said he wants them to focus on Bowling Green. He said he did not take the decision lightly.

Bowl reps on hand at Ford Field: Among the bowl representatives on hand Friday will be people from the Fiesta, Sugar and Orange Bowls. Should NIU get a BCS bid, it’s likely the Huskies will head to the Fiesta. The Sugar and Orange Bowls would likely be a long shot for the Huskies.

Lewis expected back: Carey said he expects wide receiver Tommylee Lewis, who has missed the past two games with a toe injury, back for Friday’s game.

Lynch does it again: NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch was named MAC West Player of the Week for the eighth time this season and third week in a row. Lynch ran for 321 yards in Tuesday’s 33-14 over Western Michigan, breaking the NCAA single-game record for rushing yards by a quarterback he set this season against Central Michigan.

Lynch single-handedly outgained the Broncos in total yards, 360-256.

Illinois coach Tim Beckman will be back for a third season in 2014. Speculation about the second-year head coach’s job security followed him through much of the 4-8 season that ended Saturday with a loss to Northwestern.

ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

Beckman will be back AD Thomas confirms coach will not be fired

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Illinois coach Tim Beckman will be back in 2014 after a second consecutive losing season.

Athletic director Mike Thomas confirmed the decision Monday through a spokesman.

The Illini finished 4-8 (1-7 Big Ten) in Beckman’s second season at Illinois, and lost their finale, 37-34, on Saturday to Northwestern. He faced speculation about his job security through much of the season, much as he had a year earlier when Illinois went 2-12.

Illinois spokesman Kent Brown said there hadn’t been any doubt that Beckman would return for 2014.

“I don’t think there was ever any consideration of making a change.”

Kent Brown Illinois spokesman

“I don’t think there was ever any consideration of making a change,” Brown said. Thomas and Beckman were traveling Monday and not available for comment.

Beckman is finishing up the second year of a five-year contract that paid him $1.7 million this year and $9 million in all.

After Saturday’s loss, Beckman sounded as if he expected to keep his job.

“We’re going to take this program one step forward each and every day and make it better,” he said.

Defensive coordinator Tim Banks has been dogged by rumors that he won’t be back. Illinois’ defense was at or near the bottom of the Big Ten in most defensive categories. The team gave up 35.4 points a game (10th in the 12-team conference) and 481.5 yards (11th).

Banks said after the game that he hadn’t given much thought to whether he’ll be back.

“All I can do is the best that I can. I think that the things I have done as a coach for the past 18 years stand on their own,” he said. “No, to answer your question, I don’t worry about that.”

SOUTHERN CAL FOOTBALL

Sarkisian heads south to USC

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Steve Sarkisian was named the football coach at Southern California on Monday, leaving Washington to return to the Trojans’ storied football program for another run at national titles.

Two days after USC’s regular season ended with a home loss to UCLA, Trojans athletic director Pat Haden replaced interim coach Ed Orgeron with yet another assistant coach from Pete Carroll’s championship-winning era at the school.

The 39-year-old Sarkisian is a Los Angeles-area native who went 34-29 in five seasons at Washington, rebuilding a decimated program into a bowl contender. He is the permanent replacement for Lane Kiffin, his former co-offensive coordinator at USC under Carroll.

In a statement released by USC, the coach thanked the Huskies for his first head coaching opportunity.

“I am extremely excited to be

Former Washington coach Steve Sarkisian accepted the Southern California coaching job Monday. coming home to USC and for the opportunity that USC presents to win championships,” Sarkisian said. “I can’t wait to get started.”

Kiffin was fired in late September and replaced by Orgeron, who didn’t get the permanent job from Haden despite going 6-2. Crosstown rival UCLA trounced USC 3514 last Saturday in what turned out to be the Trojans’ final game under Orgeron, who resigned Monday after failing to get the head job.

Haden didn’t immediately announce who will coach the Trojans in their bowl game later this

month, but it could be Sarkisian, who immediately left Washington.

He also could bring a handful of Huskies assistants with him to USC. Haden said USC conducted a major search during the regular season, interviewing five coaches for the job.

“We kept coming back to Sark,” Haden said. “He is the only one who was offered the job. I believe in my gut that he is the right coach for USC at this time. He embodies many of the qualities for which we looked. He is an innovative coach who recruits well and develops players. He is a proven and successful leader.”

Orgeron turned himself into a candidate for the full-time job with an impressive revitalization of a program that had grown dour and stale when Haden fired Kiffin, who went 28-15, at the airport five games into the season. Orgeron’s tenure was highlighted by the Trojans’ victory over No. 5 Stanford last month, but his groundswell of support for the full-time job dissipated with a home loss to the Bruins.

Reigning Cup champion Hawks lead NHL in wins, points • MUSICK Continued from page C1 This was merely an uptempo practice by a team with more wins (20) and points (44) than any other team in the NHL. It’s the same team that has won two Stanley Cup championships in the past four seasons. It’s the same team looking to make it three out of five.

It’s the same team that is going to need to light up our dark sports nights once again.

So, yeah.

No pressure.

“I think the pressure is good,” said defenseman Nick Leddy, a Minnesota native

who welcomed the city’s sports spotlight after one of his favorite players, Adrian Peterson, trounced the Bears for something like 700 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.

“It adds a little pressure on us, but it’s always fun playing in those big-pressure moments.”

Every team says this, but the Hawks actually believe it.

Clearly, the Hawks boast a huge base of die-hard fans that watch every period of every game and could rank their top three Brandons on the team without batting an eye. The Hawks’ incredible sellout streak, which is at 240 games and counting, proves that plenty of fans have not

strayed or shifted their focus to other teams such as the Bears or Bulls.

But for those of us whose hockey fandom is more casual than crazed, particularly in the early-season months of October and November, now is the time to hop back on the bandwagon.

Grab a seat. Bop along to “Chelsea Dagger.” The Hawks will welcome you with open arms.

No self-righteous hockey hipsters here. The more, the merrier.

“Oh, yeah,” said Shaw, a fan favorite for his relentless playing style. “Last year was awesome to see – especially that parade. Two million

people in the park. People coming from all over.

“Even when we’re on the road, sometimes we have more fans than the home team does. It’s great to see. I think Chicago fans are worldwide.”

It’s starting, then.

The Hawks’ recent road trip provided players with reminders of last season, when excitement swelled like water boiling on a stove. Every day was bigger than the day before. Every game seemed more electric, more exhilarating, more thrilling than the game before – until the final, most thrilling game of all, on a warm Monday night in Boston.

By the looks of things, this season might be even crazier.

“Last year, you’d go to other buildings and you’d see fans,” Saad said. “But this year is a whole ’nother level. “[On Saturday] in Phoenix, they were cheering ‘Go Hawks’ louder than the other team. I think we all have fun with it. I think we all like that and we embrace that.”

When all else fails in our local sports landscape, we can embrace the Hawks.

Thank goodness.

DENVER – Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov can remain free on bond while facing a domestic violence charge involving his girlfriend, a judge said Monday.

Varlamov appeared in court for a brief hearing as the judge formally advised him that he faces a misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault.

He is scheduled to enter a plea at his next hearing on Jan. 22.

Most misdemeanor cases in Denver are settled with plea bargains, but a spokeswoman for the District Attorney’s Office declined to say whether an agreement was likely in this case.

Neither Varlamov nor his attorneys commented when they left court Monday.

Varlamov’s girlfriend, Evgeniya Vavrinyukat, told police he knocked her down with a kick, stomped on her chest and dragged her by her hair at their apartment on Oct. 30, according to an arrest affidavit.

She also accused him of telling her that he would have beaten her more if they had been in Russia, authorities said.

Varlamov could face a sentence ranging from probation to two years in jail if convicted of the assault charge.

Police ID 30-year-old man killed in Arrowhead lot KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City police have identified the man who died in Arrowhead Stadium’s parking lot Sunday as 30-year-old Kyle A. Vanwinkle of Smithville.

Police spokesman Darin Snapp said an examination of Vanwinkle’s body did not show obvious signs of trauma. He said it could be four to six weeks before the cause of death is determined.

Officers responded at 5:20 p.m.

Sunday to an altercation in the parking lot and found Vanwinkle unconscious on the ground.

Snapp said a Jeep owner and his son returned to the vehicle during the Chiefs game against Denver and found Vanwinkle inside, leading to a fight.

He said Vanwinkle was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead.

Three people taken into custody for questioning were released Monday with no charges filed.

Napier’s jumper beats buzzer, UConn nips Florida STORRS, Conn. – Shabazz Napier hit a jumper from the free throw line as time expired to keep No. 12 Connecticut undefeated with a 65-64 victory over No. 15 Florida on Monday night.

Napier, limping on a left ankle he hurt during a four-point play with 33 seconds left, escaped a trap around 30 feet from the basket and got off a wild shot that missed but was tipped blindly back by DeAndre Daniels.

Napier grabbed the ball and let go a left-handed jumper that went through as the horn sounded and set off a deafening cheer from the sellout crowd of 10,167 at Gampel Pavilion.

Napier finished with 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting including making 5 of 8 from 3-point range.

The Huskies (8-0) and Florida (6-2), which had a five-game winning streak snapped, battled down the stretch exchanging the lead six times in the final 6 minutes.

Hogue’s 22 points lead Iowa St. past Auburn AMES, Iowa – Dustin Hogue set career highs with 22 points and 16 rebounds, and 17th-ranked Iowa State pounded Auburn, 9970, for its sixth straight win.

Melvin Ejim added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Cyclones (6-0), who are the Big 12’s last unbeaten team.

Iowa State used a 27-5 run midway through the first half to build a 15-point lead. It jumped ahead by as much as 60-33 early in the second half in cruising to its fourth win by at least 29 points.

The Hurricanes’ 5-foot-10 guard scored 71 points in four games as Marian went 2-2 in the Woodstock Hoops for Healing Tournament.

The Hurricanes already have half their win total of last season.

Pischke scored 32 points, with five 3-pointers, in Marian’s 57-55 victory over Cary-Grove on Friday. He came back with 19 points and three 3s Saturday in the Hurricanes’ 72-57 victory over Round Lake.

Noteworthy Early returns: It’s a small sample size, but two teams that got off to solid starts in Crystal Lake Central’s Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament were McHenry and Prairie Ridge.

McHenry, which again has a short lineup and relies on 3-pointers, was 3-1 for the week, with its only loss coming to 4-0 Carmel.

Prairie Ridge has an experienced lineup with decent size and also was 3-1. Its only loss also was against Carmel.

R-B rookies: Richmond-Burton should be a factor in the Big Northern Conference East Division this season with four returning starters and a pair of freshmen playing key roles.

Joey St. Pierre, a 6-8 freshman, is the most noticeable with his size and played well in his first week. But 5-8 point guard Blaine Bayer also gives the Rockets a boost off the bench. R-B coach Brandon Creason says Bayer and senior guard Brian Wells are his quickest players.

“You don’t get a lot of true point guards,” Creason said, “those kids who are absolute point guards. And Blaine has that makeup. He can handle the ball with both hands; it’s a very underrated skill in this day and age. He can go with left and right, changes speeds well. He has adjustments to make sometimes, but we like what he brings.”

Creason said St. Pierre and Bayer both have played so much travel basketball, and against older players, that adjusting to varsity will not be a huge deal.

Wallace said they knew it was an important tournament going in but tried not to think about it.

“Winning that was a big thing for us,” Wallace said. “I

Wallace said their success at state started with a loss in the finals at sectionals last year to Crystal Lake South’s Kelsey Laktash and Rachel Siemon. While devastating at the time, it inspired them to play well at state and be recognized as a top team this season.

Pele to appear at draw Black Friday Special

By TALES AZZONI The Associated Press COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil – Pele is to appear at Friday’s draw for the 2014 World Cup, but his role is being kept secret.

It hadn’t been clear whether Pele would be participating. On Monday, however, organizers confirmed the soccer great will be part of the broadcast to about 250 million viewers in more than 190 countries.

“He will be the ‘wow’ moment of the show,” said Luiz Gleiser, the event’s artistic manager.

Head of FIFA Films David Ausseil said Pele will “come to the stage” at some point. Beyond that it’s not certain what he will do.

“We will keep that as the surprise,” Ausseil said.

Pele is a World Cup ambassador for the Brazilian government, but he was not involved in the Confederations Cup draw a year ago and surprisingly didn’t appear at the opening match of the World Cup warmup tournament. He has made only a few appearances promoting the World Cup, the first in Brazil since 1950.

Pele will not be drawing the balls that determine the group placings, a task handed to past world champions Cafu of Brazil, Zinedine Zidane of France, Lothar Matthaeus of Germany, Fernando Hierro of Spain, Fabio Cannavaro of Italy, Alcides Ghiggia or Uruguay, Geoff Hurst of England and Mario Kempes of Argentina.

The draw reveals the first-round matchups of the World Cup, including where and when each of the 32 teams will be playing in the June 12-July 13 tournament.

SEAHAWKS 34, SAINTS 7

Seattle starts fast, dominates Saints

By TIM BOOTH The Associated Press

AP photo

Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery celebrates in front of Vikings safety Robert Blanton after catching a 46-yard touchdown pass in the second half Sunday in Minneapolis.

Is Bears’ Jeffery a No. 1 receiver?

Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery set a franchise record with 12 receptions for 249 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Shaw Media’s Hub Arkush and Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: Look past the Bears’ flaws – yes, I realize this is easier said than done – and you’ll see a 23-year-old wide receiver blossoming into a national celebrity.

That player is none other than Alshon Jeffery, who is as quiet as a mouse in the locker room but has made plenty of noise on the field in his second season with the Bears. I certainly didn’t see this coming. Did you?

Arkush: . . . Wait . . . hold on . . . I’m sorry Tom but it took awhile to get past all those flaws. But you’re right, I found him – Alshon Jeffery – and he’s looking good.

Superstar? Let’s delay the coronation just a bit longer.

Jeffery is a great catcher of the ball who’s also shown good athleticism beyond what was predicted of him coming out of college. But there are two issues. His huge game in Minnesota was against backup corners on one of the league’s worst pass defenses. And his biggest games have come when the opposition focuses on taking away Brandon Marshall. He’s rising fast, but there is still a bit more to prove.

Musick: I don’t know, Hub, I think I’m ready for the coronation. I’ve got a crown

TAKE 2 Tom Musick and Hub Arkush face off and a robe and a fancy chair that I ordered online (thanks, Cyber Monday!), and I’m ready to start the ceremony whenever Sir Alshon arrives.

Backup cornerback or not, Jeffery’s touchdown catch over the top of Minnesota’s Chris Cook was the best play I’ve seen this season. Brian Billick called the play “Calvin Johnson-esque” on the Fox broadcast, and he was right on the money. Jeffery has the makings of a No. 1 receiver, and he might seize the baton from Marshall sooner than later.

Arkush: Hmm, King Alshon? I wonder just what monarchy that’s from? Besides questioning his lineage, you’re absolutely right, the tools appear to be there. And just like you said, “he has the makings and MIGHT seize the baton sooner rather than later.” The problem is as great as he was in the farewell to the Humph-Dome game, he has disappeared a couple of times this year, too, specifically whenever teams haven’t bracketed Marshall all over the field with multiple defenders. “Might” just isn’t good enough. I like the kid, too, but there’s still a chance for a little premature ... .

Musick: Yes, I can see it now. King Alshon, supreme leader of the Republic of Touchdowns. Phil Emery has drawn a lot of scrutiny for selecting Shea McClellin in the first round in 2012, but his decision to move up to select Jeffery in the second round that year has proved to be brilliant. Take a look at the six wide receivers selected ahead of The King: Justin Blackmon, Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, A.J. Jenkins, Brian Quick and Stephen Hill. Whoops.

Arkush: Well, Floyd and Wright are actually looking pretty good right now, but there’s no question Jeffery is the best value of the bunch.

Nobody’s debating that Alshon has become a really good receiver. The question you’ve posed I believe is: Could he flourish in the Brandon Marshall role as No. 1? And I still believe the answer is we need just a bit more evidence before we render our verdict. Marshall struggled against the Vikings, but he’s proved he can’t be singled, and when he’s doubled or been bracketed he’s still given you big plays as often as not. I can’t remember Jeffery ever being double covered, can you?

And if he is going to be the king, does that make Martellus Bennett his court jester and Marshall his personal dresser?

Musick: Yes, and I would add Josh McCown as his spiritual adviser and Kyle Long as his security chief. To your point, I have seen only single coverage against Jeffery, and I have seen Jeffery roast that single coverage to the tune of five 100-yard games and two 200-yard games. That’s what No. 1 receivers do: Beat single coverage and demand extra attention. Besides, I can’t retreat from my position now. I mean, I’ve already bought this crown, and I don’t think I can get a refund.

Arkush: Yes, Tom, and unfortunately there certainly isn’t anyone else on the Bears’ roster who’ll be wearing a crown anytime soon. Bottom line, Jeffery is looking like the best Bears draft choice since they took Charles Tillman in the second round of the 2003 draft.

Could it be that dry spell that has us so quick to want to crown Jeffery?

Regardless, we may be asking the wrong question.

Perhaps the right one is: Do the bears feel good enough about him to send Marshall packing after this season and create another $9 million in cap space? There’s a new debate for us.

McCown’s flashy passing statistics misleading • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 To suddenly say Robbie Gould is the only guy on the team he trusts by trying a 47-yard field goal on secondand-7 was stunning at best and inexcusable at worst. On third down, I get it, allow for a second chance with a false start or bad hold. But to not try and get closer on second down, there really is no explanation other than fear.

I don’t believe in judging players by taking away their two or three best plays, but McCown’s numbers were downright pedestrian without the 80- and 46-yard touchdowns to Alshon Jeffery, and McCown was just 4 of 9 passing on third down and one of the two conversions was the 46-yarder on the incredible Jeffery catch.

McCown just didn’t make enough plays to beat a bad Vikings team and I think the best you can give him is a B- or C+.

Matt Forte had a nice game with 23 carries for 120 yards, but the Bears’ short-yardage ground game is awful. Forte

For the most part Jeffery, Brandon Marshall and Martellus Bennett were your receivers. Jeffery clearly gets an A+, Marshall gets a B- and Bennett had a tough day, probably a C. The offensive line gets a C, too. The four sacks it allowed was the most in a game this

season and, as I said, the Bears short-yardage ground game is awful. Jordan Mills, in particular, has become a favorite target of opposing defenses.

The defensive line gets a B-, carried by another A- for Julius Peppers. Five sacks is easily their best output of the year, but they can’t get a pass

on the 246 yards of rushing the Vikings piled up. Like Mills, Shea McClellin is becoming harder and harder to hide.

The linebackers and safeties have to bear the brunt of the failure to stop the run, and James Anderson was the most vulnerable this time. To Jon Bostic, I say, taunting? Really, after they ran it down your throat all day long? D’s for all but Anderson, who gets a D-.

Tim Jennings has played well of late, and Zack Bowman wasn’t a problem. I’d give Jennings a B, Bowman B -.

As for special teams, how hard can you be on a kicker who missed just his second and third kicks of the year, one from 66 yards? Gould never should have been out there at that moment on the 47-yarder in OT. But it is exactly that kick – on fourth or maybe third down – that he gets paid millions of dollars to make. He did fail.

SEATTLE – The rest of the NFC better get ready to visit the Pacific Northwest in January. After Monday night’s rout, the road through the NFC playoffs is almost certain to go through Seattle.

Russell Wilson threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks became the first team to clinch a spot in the NFC playoffs with a 34-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.

More important than just clinching a spot in the postseason, the Seahawks (11-1) moved two games ahead on the rest of the NFC in the race for home-field advantage and hold the tiebreakers over New Orleans (9-3) and Carolina (93), the two closest pursuers.

Wilson was outstanding, picking apart the Saints’ defense. He threw touchdown passes of 2 yards to Zach Miller and 4 yards to Doug Baldwin in the first half as Seattle built a 27-7 lead. Wilson added a pinball 8-yard TD pass to Derrick Coleman in the third quarter.

Michael Bennett had a 22-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the first quarter to give Seattle a 10-0 lead and the Saints never threatened.

It was a dominating performance by the Seahawks, mak-

ing up for a lackluster effort the last time they were given a national television spotlight and were taken to the final yard and final play by St. Louis.

Not this time. The most anticipated game in the NFC this season was a laugher.

Wilson completed 22 of 30 passes and finished with a quarterback rating of 139.6.

He has 22 regular-season wins in his first two seasons, tied for the most by a second-year QB. Drew Brees and the Saints were stymied the entire night as he lost for the first time on Monday night after nine straight wins, and continued the belief New Orleans can’t win outdoors late in the season. New Orleans didn’t crack 100 yards of total offense until midway through the third quarter. Jimmy Graham was nearly invisible outside of his franchise-record 12th TD catch of the season in the second quarter that pulled the Saints to 17-7.

Brees finished 23 of 38 for 147 yards. Graham had three catches for 42 yards. Darren Sproles led New Orleans with seven catches, many of those check downs. The seven points were tied for the fewest scored by the Saints since Sean Payton became coach in 2006 and the 188 total yards were the fewest in his coaching tenure.

BEARS NOTES

Offense continues to leave points on field

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – Gaudy production from Josh McCown, Alshon Jeffery and Matt Forte over the past month isn’t translating into points, and after reviewing Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, Bears coach Marc Trestman expressed disappointment in his offense.

“The fact that our defense had three sacks early and we were not able to do anything with the field position was extremely disappointing,” he said Monday. “We didn’t finish our drives. We started off poorly on third down.”

The Bears scored at least 24 points in seven of their first eight games. They have yet to reach 24 points in each of their past four games.

Points can come from sustained drives, and the offense has stalled in short yardage. They were 0 for 3 on third-and-1 Sunday.

“In our short yardage, certainly we had a secondand-1 and a third-and-1 that we didn’t convert, critical to maintaining possession,” Trestman said. “Very disappointed. We talked through all of those today and we’ll continue to work on trying to get better, especially coming off a fast start by our defense.”

On the season, the Bears are 5 for 12 in converting on third-and-1 situations, while opponents are 19 for 25. “… To be up 20-10 in the fourth-quarter and not be able to finish the game in any phase of our football disappointed all of us amidst a lot of good play. It wasn’t good enough,” Trestman said.

A hair short: On the Vikings’ fourth-and-11 conversion late in the fourth quarter, the Bears had a blitz set up that didn’t get home.

“Another click and we would have gotten off just a split-second quicker, (Matt) Cassel would not have been able to deliver that ball,” Trestman said. “If you look at it on the coach’s copy, James [Anderson] was running right at him. He threw it around James.”

Trestman said Anderson got off the Vikings’ quick snap “just a click late.”

Praise for Peppers, Steltz: Trestman said Julius Peppers “probably [had] his best game. He was very disruptive.”

Peppers had eight tackles and 2.5 sacks in the loss.

On Craig Steltz, who started in place of Major Wright and had a team-high 12 tackles, Trestman said, “I felt we got a heck of a performance out of Craig. ... He wasn’t perfect – none of us were. But he really played well and had a good performance.”

Record attempt: A Hail Mary on the final play of regulation from midfield “was a possibility,” but Trestman elected to let Robbie Gould go for an NFL-record 66-yard field goal.

“It was worthwhile in the dome to let It go,” Trestman said.

Trestman was pleased with how the Bears covered Cordarrelle Patterson, who tried to return the missed field goal. As for Gould’s range, Trestman said, “I think Robbie feels he can make any kick. He went after it, and came close.”

Fister dealt to Nationals; closer Johnson goes to A’s

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press NEW YORK – On a night usually dominated by news of players let loose, the Washington Nationals and Oakland Athletics filled pitching needs with trades.

Washington obtained righthander Doug Fister from Detroit for infielder Steve Lombardozzi and left-handers Robbie Ray and Ian Krol on Monday. Oakland acquired closer Jim Johnson from Baltimore for infielder Jemile Weeks and a player to be named.

Fister was 14-9 with a 3.67 ERA last season for the AL Central champions, who last month traded slugging first baseman Prince Fielder to Texas for second baseman Ian Kinsler.

“It gives us some flexibility for some other things we want to do,” Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said, insisting the trade wasn’t made to free money for a long-term deal for AL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, who can leave after next season.

Fister joins a talented Nationals

rotation that already includes Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Gio Gonzalez.

Oakland, which also closed in on a $22 million, two-year contract with left-hander Scott Kazmir, is revamping after losing to the Tigers in the AL division series.

The 30-year-old Johnson led the majors with 51 saves in 2012 and tied for the big league lead last season with 50. The two-time AL West champion A’s found their closer to replace All-Star Grant Balfour, who became a free agent after the season.

Meanwhile, 43 players became free agents at midnight EST when their teams failed to offer 2014 contracts.

Clubs often use the so-called tender deadline as leverage to force agreements with players they won’t go to arbitration with. Among the players let loose were Toronto catcher J.P. Arencibia, Boston right-hander Andrew Bailey and outfielder Ryan Kalish, Mets righthander Jeremy Hefner and Kansas City infielder Chris Getz.

PELICANS 131, BULLS 128 (3OT)

Bulls fall in 3 overtimes despite Deng’s 37 points

By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Home or on the road, the Bulls just can’t get out of their own way these days.

Even in returning to the United Center for the first game after their annual circus trip and having three overtimes to find some sort of consistency, a Jrue Holiday layup and foul in the final seconds gave New Orleans the 131-128 win.

But this is where Bulls basketball is these days. “Working the game,’’ as coach Tom Thibodeau is fond of saying. Basically, grinding on teams.

Again on full display against the Pelicans, and again not enough.

After a possession in which the Bulls had four offensive rebounds and ended up with nothing for all their work, Eric Gordon hit a floater to put New Orleans up 96-94 with 2:36 left in the fourth quarter.

Luol Deng, who finished with a season-high 37 points, tied the game up with a floater of his own, and after a stop, Kirk Hinrich’s jumper put the

Miami at Bulls, 8:30 p.m.

Thursday, TNT, AM-1000

Bulls back on top.

With 1:11 left, it was Gordon again, this time with a 3-pointer.

Two Deng free throws gave the Bulls the one-point lead with a minute left, but Ryan Anderson made two of his own free throws to put his team back up, 101-100 with 46.7 seconds left.

A dunk by Joakim Noah with 33 seconds left looked to be the game-changer, and when Mike Dunleavy pulled down the rebound after a Pelicans miss, Noah’s flush sure seemed like that. But nothing comes easy for these Bulls.

Dunleavy split the free throws to keep New Orleans just two points down with 21 seconds left. More than enough, as Holiday showed, hitting

the game-tying jumper with 3.9 seconds left.

The Bulls called the timeout to set up one last play, but never even got a shot off after an errant pass bounced off the leg of Noah.

Just like that, the Bulls were playing their second overtime game in their past four games. And just like in the fourth, they couldn’t shake New Orleans. Nursing a three-point lead, a Bulls miss led to another Gordon 3-pointer with 10.2 seconds left in the overtime.

That meant five more minutes of basketball, and more stress on Thibodeau.

It isn’t like help is on the way anytime soon, either.

Obviously the loss of Derrick Rose to season-ending right knee surgery [meniscus] is what it is, but they are also still without starting two-guard Jimmy Butler [turf toe].

That’s why rookie Tony Snell continued to start.

Butler did shoot around a bit Monday afternoon, but was still unable to practice and has no timetable

for a return. As far as what Thibodeau will do with Snell when Butler returns, he’s not thinking that far ahead.

“No, I’m just concerned that Jimmy has been out a long time,’’ Thibodeau said. “When you miss a lot of time it’s hard to come back.’’

Snell had a quiet six points, but has still impressed his coach.

“I think he’s done a really good job, actually from the point we drafted him,’’ Thibodeau said of the 20th overall pick in the June draft. “He worked extremely hard all summer, he did a good job in the preseason, and even when he wasn’t playing he was practicing well and preparing himself to play. So usually what happens with those guys is when they work like that and they prepare themselves that way, when the opportunity does roll around they’re usually ready for it.

“He’s not satisfied. Each day he comes in and tries to improve. When he makes a mistake he tries to correct it, and not repeat the same mistake twice.’’

Healthier season It seems inevitable. At some point, we’re going to catch a cold or the flu this winter.

Not so. There are ways to have a happier, healthier winter season – without getting sick.

Embria Health Sciences, producers of immunestrengthening EpiCor, provides some tips to keep you on the go during the holidays: • Wash those hands.

Teaching your family to wash thoroughly (singing “Happy Birthday” twice is good measure) helps keep from sharing unwanted germs. Make sure to wash before and after meals, after using playground equipment, after using the restroom and after coughing or sneezing.

• Address the air. Use a humidifier (if you don’t have one, partly fill a bath tub with hot water) to increase moisture in your home, as hot dry air from heaters can lead to sinus or throat problems and nosebleeds.

Change your air filters regularly to prevent the circulation of dust, mold and other irritants.

• Clean surfaces. Keep busy surfaces clean (door knobs, drawer handles, remote controls, light switches, etc.) by using antibacterial cleansers.

• Eat well. The farmers markets may be closed for the season, but you still can get plenty of vitaminpacked produce for the winter such as radishes, blood oranges, persimmons, snow peas, cabbage, rhubarb, chestnuts, artichokes, kale and cranberries. If you can’t eat healthy every day, add immune-boosting supplements to your diet.

• Stay home. If you do get sick, don’t forget this advice. People with flu-like illness should remain home at least 24 hours after they are free of signs of a fever, according to the CDC.

KIDS’ HEALTH

Take a hike Grab the whole family and go for a family walk or hike.

Depending on where you live, you could enjoy the late fall weather or walk faster to warm up in the crisp winter temps. If there are trails nearby, set out for a long-distance hike.

Alzheimer’s genes An international group of researchers has identified 11 new genes that offer important insights into the disease pathways involved in Alzheimer’s disease.

The researchers identified the genes by analyzing previously studied and newly collected DNA data from 74,076 older volunteers with Alzheimer’s disease and those free of the disorder from 15 countries.

The new genes add to a growing list of gene variants associated with onset and progression of late-onset Alzheimer’s.

Educating patients Doctors treat new condition: Questions about the health law

By ANNA GORMAN Kaiser Health News Carolyn Senger, a preventive medicine doctor in San Diego, regularly treats uninsured patients, coaching them how to stay healthy.

Now she is teaching them one more thing – how to sign up for insurance under the nation’s Affordable Care Act. “Not only can I help you with your health, but I can also help you get some coverage,” Senger says to her patients.

Despite the ongoing controversy over the website and the rocky rollout of the law, the Obama administration still hopes millions will sign up for new insurance options before the March 31 deadline.

To make that happen, health officials are counting on physicians to shift the conversation from the online problems to the benefits of coverage. They are motivated by a longstanding principle: People trust their doctors.

But like everyone else, physicians have differing opinions on the law, with some enthusiastically promoting it and others ardently opposing it. In fact, both sides of the political debate are using health care providers to get their message out.

“There are some doctors who think this is a half-baked and terrible idea,” said Lucien Wulsin, executive director of the Los Angeles-based Insure the Uninsured Project. “But there are a bunch who think this is going to be beneficial to helping their patients get care and afford coverage.”

Ori Hampel, a urologist in Houston, is one of a cadre of physician opponents meeting with legislators and speaking out against the law.

Hampel said he feels a duty to warn patients they could end up with more expensive care and less access to doctors under what he calls the “unaffordable care act.”

Hampel and others are part of an organization called Docs 4 Patient Care, which has a strong presence in Texas, Georgia and Michigan and has challenged health reform since before it passed.

“We think it’s a dangerous law, and it is an intrusion on the doctorpatient relationship,” said Hal Scherz, a Georgia physician and president of the organization.

their websites and offering training sessions.

The AMA prepared a fact sheet for doctors, a brochure for them to give patients and a flier for their waiting rooms: “Need affordable health insurance? New coverage options coming soon!”

‘This stuff is complicated’

Differing opinions Doctors also have become messengers for the conservative group Americans for Prosperity. In one television ad, a Virginia doctor says Obamacare has her worried about having to navigate a complicated system rather than help patients.

“Can I still work with parents to decide what’s best for their kids, or will the government be in the middle of things?” she asks.

Whatever their views, physicians are expected to play a crucial part in patients’ understanding of

the law and their willingness to enroll.

The federal government is partnering with physician groups such as the American Medical Association to educate doctors. And California’s insurance marketplace, Covered California, has awarded more than $3 million out of a total of $40 million in outreach grants to medical groups.

A recent Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll showed doctors and nurses are the most trusted sources for people seeking informa-

tion about health reform. Nevertheless, patients get more of their information from the news media, family and friends. (KHN is an editorially independent program of the foundation.)

That is in part because physicians’ knowledge about the Medicaid expansion and insurance marketplaces varies widely. Doctors unsure about the details of the law may be more reluctant to talk about them.

To help, physician organizations are putting information on

The American College of Physicians posted an online state-bystate guide for doctors and a list of questions and answers about health reform.

Charles Cutler, a Pennsylvania doctor who heads the organization’s board of regents, said several of his patients already have come to him with questions about insurance, benefits and prescription drugs.

“I don’t have all the answers,” Cutler said. “This stuff is complicated.”

Senger, the San Diego doctor, is the state director of an organization called Doctors for America, which is reaching out to physicians and patients with the motto “Coverage is Good Medicine.”

“Even if you don’t like this provision or that provision, getting patients insured is universally helpful” in ensuring they can seek regular care and their doctors can get reimbursed, said Alice Chen, executive director of the group and a UCLA assistant professor.

The Service Employees International Union also recently unveiled ads with doctors urging consumers to apply.

With enrollment already under way, doctors need to get up to speed so they know what to tell patients, said Richard Baker, an ophthalmologist in Los Angeles.

“These are the new rules,” he said. “Physicians need to be educated.”

Keeping it formal among doctors and patients A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association piqued my interest because it discussed a subject that has been a longtime interest of mine: How should doctors (and other health care workers) address their patients? Should they be less formal and call them by their first name? Or, should they be more formal and call them by their family names?

Should it be Mrs. Jones or Joan?

And, if doctors call their patients by their first names, shouldn’t patients also call their doctors by their first names?

Significant changes have taken place concerning how

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold patients and doctors address each other since I started practicing medicine many years ago.

In the early days, a very formal relationship existed, even to the extent that some family members referred to their physician relatives, not as Uncle John, but as Dr. John. Patients never called their doctors by their first names.

A formal relationship also existed within the medical profession. Nurses called doc-

tors, Dr. Jones, and doctors referred to nurses as Nurse Smith or Miss Smith.

Then, during the 1960s, changes started taking place.

Younger doctors introduced themselves to patients using their first names and called their patients by their first names.

This also coincided with many doctors dressing less formally, no longer wearing ties or white coats.

It was hoped this approach would make patients feel more comfortable. And, being on a first-name basis with their doctors helped remove some of the physician’s “Godlike” image.

This trend of calling people

by their first name also happened outside of the medical profession as younger individuals started addressing their elders by their first names.

But not everyone accepted this first-name incursion.

Traditionalists still wanted to call their physicians Doctor, and they did not appreciate being called by their first name by people they hardly knew.

And, many physicians wanted to be addressed by their hard-earned title, Doctor, and also felt uncomfortable calling their patients by their first names.

My view is, if doctors want to be called by their profes-

sional title, then they should also call their patients by their family names, unless the patients prefer to be called by their first name.

It is important the manner in which patients and doctors address each other is a twoway street, and that means both parties are comfortable with the arrangement.

And, for the record, I am against younger individuals calling their elders by their first names.

Lying down on the job encouraged

By VICKY HALLETT The Washington Post Elise Foley was sick of staring at her computer screen last Wednesday. So the Huffington Post reporter walked down the hallway of her downtown Washington office in search of a cure. She found it in the meditation room, a dimly lit space that beckons visitors to sink into a plush couch or take a seat on the floor in front of a collection of candles.

In that environment, it didn’t take long for Foley to reach enlightenment – at least about expectations at The Huffington Post.

“It’s a nice reminder that if I step away from my desk for 20 minutes, people won’t freak out,” she said.

Taking mental health breaks is the sort of behavior editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington has been touting through her “Third Metric” initiative, which emphasizes the role wellness plays in a person’s success.

In addition to hosting a Third Metric conference this summer and devoting a section of the news website to the subject (a recent article

by Huffington covered the importance of getting enough shuteye), she’s also putting

these principles into practice for her employees.

Huffington Post’s New York office has rooms for meditation, naps and yoga.

And after spending a few years in a space that Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim describes as “sterile and corporate,” the D.C. staff moved into new digs nearby with the same amenities in August. There are other perks, too – plump ottomans invite folks to kick their feet up, and the kitchen is stocked with wholesome snacks.

“Newsrooms send signals to people about what’s expected,” Grim said. A message this one’s broadcasting?

“We want you to have a life.”

It’s been a process for workers to acclimate to the new options.

“They haven’t dragged me into the yoga room yet.

My yoga is bourbon on the rocks,” joked editorial director Howard Fineman, who refers to the meditation room as “the thing with all the pillows.”

But staffers are exploring how to take advantage of the office. Politics managing editor Amanda Terkel visits the yoga room to stretch after running, and she’s eager to take the regular classes that

Reporter Sam Stein, who’s often up before 5 a.m. for television appearances, is the first nap-room regular. When

he’s dragging, he moseys off for a 15-minute snooze.

And no one’s had trouble figuring out what to do with

the office’s other new stressreducing feature: a keg.

Designers step in to make gym clothes fashionable

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – So long, dingy sweatpants.

Workout clothes for women, once relegated to the back of the closet, are moving to the front of the fashion scene.

Yoga pants are the new jeans, neon sports bras have become the “it” accessory and long athletic socks are hipper than high heels.

“I’ve actually had more excitement buying workout gear than normal jeans and dresses,” said Amanda Kleinhenz, 27, who wears workout gear both in and outside of the gym in Cleveland. “I want to look good.”

Blame it on the push by many Americans toward a more active lifestyle. Or call it an extension of the nation’s fascination with fashion.

Either way, these days jog-

ging suits are just as likely to be seen on a runway in New York as a treadmill in Texas.

In fact, sales of workout gear are growing faster than sales of everyday clothing – by a lot. Spending on workout clothes jumped 7 percent to $31.6 billion during the 12-month period that ended in August from the same period a year ago. That compares with a 1 percent rise in spending for other clothing to about $169.2 billion.

But these aren’t cheap cotton T-shirts and spandex jumpsuits. Top designers such as Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang all rolled out fitness chic clothing lines, with everything from $50 leggings to $125 zip-front hoodies and $225 long john sweatpants.

And big nationwide retailers such as Gap, Forever 21, Victoria Secret and Macy’s have fitness lines, too.

“Active has become an important part of what customers are wearing,” said Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer at Macy’s, which is expanding its active wear label to 400 stores from 160. “Sometimes it’s for athletic endeavors.

Sometimes it’s just to run errands.”

This is the latest evolution in fitness fashion. Sweatpants and tees were the hallmark of athletic clothing for decades.

That changed with the invention of spandex in 1959, then again with the aerobics craze of the 1980s when tights, leotards, legwarmers and nylon track suits became popular.

Athletic gear giants such as Nike, Reebok and Adidas were popular for years as synthetic material like Gore Tex and Lyrcra gained popularity because of their performance qualities. Then, in the late 1990s, it became cool to wear workout clothes

everywhere after the Lululemon athletic chain opened and gained a loyal following of fitness enthusiasts willing to shell out $100 for yoga pants.

Annie Georgia Greenberg, a New York editor for style blog Refinery29, said she noticed the trend at the New York Fashion week in September as more people were choosing shoes such as the neon Nike Free Flyknit over designer pumps. Greenberg herself paired a “Gold’s Gym” t-shirt and Adidas Samba sneakers with a two-piece bejeweled suit – something she wouldn’t have done a couple of years ago.

“It is almost cooler to be comfortable and athletic and feel like yourself than to be overly glam,” Greenberg said.

Fitness chic also sends a message to others that you are living a healthy lifestyle, said Noreen Naroo, senior

creative director for apparel at fitness brand Under Armour. Recently, Naroo did a mile run at her daughter’s elementary school with leggings, a sports bra, t-shirt and sneakers. She changed from her sneakers into boots to go to work.

“This is exactly what women are doing – running between work and play,” Naroo said.

Nike says that’s one reason its women’s business has added $1 billion in revenue since fiscal 2010 to reach $4 billion in fiscal 2013.

“Women don’t want to compromise performance or style,” said Heidi O’Neil, Nike’s vice president and general manager of women’s training.

A workout bra and sweatpants

Woman saddened by wonderful High- and low-tech treatments are available to help Parkinson’s sufferers partner who doesn’t want kids Dear Abby: I am a 38-yearold woman who has been dating a 41-year-old man for seven months. He’s wonderful and treats me magnificently.

We have similar values and interests and are very much in love. Sadly, although I have always wanted children, he does not.

At my age, I have dated enough men to know I have found someone special. I realize my choice is either to stay in a relationship with a fabulous partner, knowing we won’t have children, or end it, hoping I’ll find someone just as wonderful who wants kids.

Your advice in making the hardest decision of my life would be greatly appreciated.

– Maternal In New York Dear Maternal: I’ll try.

Many women in their late 30s find conceiving a child is complicated, and it also can take longer than they thought. It has taken you 38 years to find this exceptional man, and it could take quite a bit of time to find another one who is so compatible.

Look at it this way: If you married “Mr. Wonderful” and learned afterward he couldn’t father a child, would you leave him? Insist on adopting? Or would you count the many blessings you do have with him and stay?

Many women are happily childless. However, if you’re not one of them, you should

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips take your chances and move on – remembering there are no guarantees.

Dear Abby: I work on a busy street in San Francisco where smokers walk around puffing all day while ignoring those around them. Don’t you think they should be considerate enough to smoke at designated areas only and not while walking with their secondhand smoke billowing around other pedestrians?

I have seen pregnant women and children inundated by the smoke as these puffers stroll by with no regard. We nonsmokers would appreciate their courtesy for others because we don’t want to inhale what they’re smoking.

Can you comment? – Hates

The Habit Dear Hates The Habit: I hate it, too, but unless there is an ordinance in your city that prohibits smoking on certain sidewalks, I think it’s unrealistic to expect smokers who inhale not to exhale.

Dear Readers: Years ago, a young mother in Arlington, Va., wrote my mother about a book she had received that promised to help parents prepare their children for school by expanding their vocabu-

lary. The “secret?” Reading to them while they are small.

Children learn words by hearing them spoken in context – the more they hear, the more they absorb. Like everything else, reading is something people will do more of if they enjoy it. When a parent reads to a child, the child associates reading with pleasure.

“The Read-Aloud Handbook” by Jim Trelease became a huge best-seller when it was published. Penguin Books called it one of the 75 most important books it has published in its history. The book is now in its seventh – and LAST – edition and has been completely revised and updated. If you’re a parent who wants your child to succeed, a grandparent, or someone contemplating becoming a parent in the future, pick up a copy.

The first half is filled with the latest research on the importance of literacy for children’s success; the rest lists book titles and ages of the youngsters for which they’re intended.

Dear Dr. K: I’ve been taking levodopa for years to treat my Parkinson’s disease.

Lately, though, it hasn’t been as effective. Are there any other treatment options?

Dear Reader: It is quite common for the effectiveness of levodopa to change over time. Fortunately, there are other treatments available.

Some are very high-tech, reflecting the latest scientific knowledge. Others are very low-tech, reflecting the wisdom of the past.

Parkinson’s disease occurs when a certain part of the brain does not make enough of the chemical signal dopamine. Dopamine is one of the natural “neurotransmitter” chemicals one brain cell uses to send a signal to another cell. It has many effects, one of which is to help coordinate movement. Without dopamine, hands tremble, arms and legs become stiff, movement slows, and balance and coordination fail. You may have trouble walking, talking, swallowing and doing everyday tasks.

Drugs such as levodopa can fill in for natural dopamine and ease symptoms.

If the drug has become less effective, your doctor can try adjusting the dose or schedule of your medication. That often restores effectiveness.

There also are other types of medicines, which can be

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff used alone or in combination with levodopa, and your doctor may want you to try one of these.

A non-drug type of treatment that has been used for more than a decade to help control Parkinson’s symptoms is known as deepbrain stimulation (DBS). It involves placing a tiny wire called a lead in the part of the brain that controls movement. A matchbook-sized stimulator is implanted under the skin below the collarbone. The lead and stimulator are connected to each other by a second wire. This wire runs under the skin of the shoulder, neck and head. The device emits small pulses of electricity that are received by the wire in the brain and help to coordinate movement. DBS – either alone or in combination with levodopa – might help control your symptoms.

Another, much lower-tech option is tai chi. Tai chi is an ancient Chinese practice we’ve talked about several times before in this column.

It involves slow, graceful movements that flow smoothly from one challenging pose to the next.

Tai chi enhances bal-

ance and muscle strength. It helps prevent falls and girds against physical decline.

People with Parkinson’s also can reap these benefits of tai chi. An excellent book about tai chi, “The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi,” by my faculty colleague Dr. Peter Wayne, is described on my website.

The benefits of tai chi in people with Parkinson’s disease were demonstrated in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers randomly assigned study participants with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease to twice-weekly sessions of tai chi, strength-building exercises or stretching. After six months, Parkinson’s patients who did tai chi were stronger and had much better balance than patients in the other groups. The tai chi group also had significantly fewer falls and slower rates of decline in overall motor control.

When I was a medical student, there were few treatments for Parkinson’s disease. That has changed dramatically, due not only to scientific progress but also to the scientific study of ancient practices.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Hosea Ballou, a clergyman and theological writer who died in 1852, said, “Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of little children tends towards the formation of character.”

We bridge players were all weaned on our mother’s or grandmother’s knee to count losers in a suit contract. If she was a taskmaster, she would have told us also to count winners. Sometimes, the right direction is clearer when we check winners.

In this deal, for example, South is in four spades. West cashes two top diamonds, then shifts to the heart king.

How should declarer proceed?

North’s redouble promised at least 10 points and denied four or more spades. East, with a deinite preference among the unbid suits, was allowed to advance with two diamonds, even holding no points. From the logic of the auction, his hand had to be weak. Then, when North rebid three spades, South bid game, hoping for the best.

Declarer has four losers: two hearts and two diamonds.

He has only seven top tricks: ive spades, one heart and one club. To make his contract, he must win four club tricks.

But that might require taking three club inesses. And to do that, South needs three hand entries. After taking the third trick with his heart ace, he must take an immediate club inesse -- there is no time to lose.

When the inesse wins, declarer cashes dummy’s spade queen, plays a spade to his king, and takes a second club inesse. After a spade to the ace, South takes the third club inesse and claims.
