REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FOR McHENRY COUNTY SHERIFF

Seeking a promotion

Crews ready for snowfall Worst of storm expected between 6 a.m. and noon

Andrew Zinke talks Tuesday with fundraisers for the McHenry County Child Advocacy Center during an event at Ethereal Confections in Woodstock. Zinke, the current county undersheriff, is the hand-picked candidate to succeed Sheriff Keith Nygren.

Undersheriff highlights work fighting heroin

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com As voters in McHenry County prepare to decide a slew of contested races, no local race will generate as much attention, based on the mudslinging, as the Republican primary for McHenry County sheriff.

In the lead-up to the March 18 primary election, the Northwest Herald will profile candidates Andrew Zinke and Bill Prim, a recently retired commander for the Des Plaines Police Department. Prim’s profile will appear on Feb. 8.

First up, Zinke.

A 24-year veteran of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Zinke has

risen through the ranks from patrol deputy to the office’s undersheriff and current second-in-command to outgoing Sheriff Keith Nygren.

He’s the hand-picked candidate to succeed Nygren. Zinke not only has the backing of his boss, but many other McHenry County officials.

Well, except one. State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, whose office works hand-in-hand with the sheriff’s office and is tasked with representing the department in legal matters. After public battles with Nygren, Bianchi has thrown his political support behind Zinke’s opponent.

Zinke hopes his political endorsements can translate into teaming up

with other local municipalities as he looks to create a multi-jurisdictional SWAT team and partnering on accident investigations.

“We could all save money by sharing resources,” Zinke said.

Zinke’s next initiative is a project he touts as both cost saving and environmentally friendly: swapping gasoline out for propane in sheriff’s vehicles.

He’d initially start with 20 of the office’s 180 vehicles, he said.

There’s some initial cost to convert the vehicles – about $75,000 – but Zinke said that can be recouped through a state grant.

Election profiles We’ll profile the second Republican candidate for McHenry County sheriff – Bill Prim – in next Saturday’s Northwest Herald.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The more snow that falls, the better Mark DeVries gets at planning the cleanup.

By 4 p.m. Friday, the maintenance superintendent at the McHenry County Division of Transportation had his plans laid out for Saturday, when as much as 8 inches of snow could fall by the end of the day.

Friday’s forecast changed throughout the day, going from an expected snowfall start between 9 and 10 p.m. to after midnight. Because DeVries knew the snow would likely be heaviest between 6 a.m. and noon Saturday, he said trucks would be deployed at 4 a.m. Saturday and roads should hold up fine until then.

“We’ve been out so much that the roads are still treated,” DeVries said. “We’ll be OK until about 4 a.m. when the snow starts to pick up.”

Still, residents are encouraged to avoid traveling until Saturday afternoon when the snow will taper off and plows can remove snow that may still outpace the early cleanup effort because of how fast it is expected to fall.

McHenry County will remain in a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. Saturday as another wave of severe weather passes through.

Meteorologist Gino Izzi said forecasts call for about

Forecast Snow was expected to start falling about midnight Friday and continue through Saturday afternoon, with the heaviest snowfall between 6 a.m. and noon.

On Tuesday, another storm system is forecasted to bring flakes to the area, with 6 inches or more of accumulation possible.

Rutherford: Rival candidate Rauner behind allegations

By SARA BURNETT and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

Dan Rutherford

CHICAGO – The Republican race for Illinois governor took a nasty turn Friday, with Treasurer Dan Rutherford accusing venture capitalist Bruce Rauner of being behind a “fishy” scheme to taint his image ahead of the primary.

Rutherford announced – during a hastily called news conference – that a treasurer’s office employee who has made “allegations of misconduct” against him was being represented by an attorney who had been on Rauner’s payroll. Rutherford said the attorney demanded $300,000 on the employee’s behalf to “walk away and keep it under wraps.”

The attorney later released a

LOCALLY SPEAKING

statement saying the allegations were “serious and real” and had initially been filed with a state inspector general, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. But lawyer Christine Svenson didn’t describe her client or the claims.

Rauner struck back at Rutherford by saying he should focus on clearing up the allegations.

His spokesman Mike Schrimpf dismissed Rutherford’s claims

as false.

Rutherford said his office was launching an external investigation into the employee’s allegations after an internal probe showed “absolutely no truth” to the claims.

“There is something very, very fishy about the timing and with regards to who’s behind it,” Rutherford told reporters.

Saturday, February 1, 2014 • Northwest Herald • NWHerald.com

It was back in December of 2011 when I pitched my idea for this column. I carefully crafted my query letter. I poured hours and hours into how I would sell myself and my writing. I read and reread every word dozens of times. I edited and re-edited.

When I was finally satisfied, I gingerly placed my letter in an envelope, precisely positioned the stamp, and sealed it with a prayer. I then promptly mailed it to the wrong person at the newspaper.

I was later contacted by the lady who received it and was informed that, although she enjoyed my letter and was quite flattered that I thought she was so important, she had nothing to do with hiring columnists. But she promised to forward my letter to the proper person. Now that person will receive a letter addressed to another person asking that other person to hire me. That’ll get me the job. Geesh.

Feeling that my validity as a journalist had already been thoroughly compromised, I resolved myself to failure. Yet, I still had confidence in my letter. I had read somewhere that

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava if you sounded straightforward and confident, then you might get somewhere. So my letter started out, “My name is Michael Penkava and I want to be your next new columnist.”

I had actually thought about starting it out, “My name is Michael Penkava and I want to be Emperor of the Universe, but I’d settle for being your new columnist.” I decided that was a bit too arrogant, and, besides, the emperor position was already taken by Justin Bieber.

In the letter I observed, “People need to take time off from the mundane and grim and once in a while go on vacation to the land of offbeat and unexpected.” I figured that some might enjoy a look at the lighter side of life as a change of pace from the hard news we read every day. I would call my column, “Just Humor Me” so the readers would know that, while

I may appear to be serious about a topic, I’m just having some fun with them. You know, tongue in cheek, foot in mouth.

Unfortunately, some readers still think I am serious and they take exception to my observations. They think I really have shopping cart battles with little old ladies. They think I wear khaki underwear. They think my yard is filled with garden gnomes.

And they think I advocate a diet of solely bacon. (That’s not true. You can throw in a burrito here and there and still be okay).

But the readers are right about what they think about my wife.

Long-suffering. Wise. The voice of reason. Yep, although she’s married to a left-handed banjo-playing, Bollywood dancing, garage-sailing, apprentice-gardening, Twinkie-eating, always-forgetting-to-put-the-coverback-on-the-peanut-butter-jar husband, she has always been at my side as we move through life together at the speed of love.

I do enjoy hearing from you readers. I have answered every email,

even the one that referred to me as an “idiot” because I put a doughnut on the barbecue grill and called it a “Charnut.” Then there was the person who said that I needed to “get a life” when I recommended power washing as a stress-relieving hobby. Not to forget the comment that I cannot publish about what I could do with the perfect egg roll.

So that wraps up one hundred columns. With an average of 625 words per column, that makes about 62,500 words. The average length of a novel is 100,000 words. That means that in about 60 more columns I’ll have enough words for my first novel.

I could call it, “Confessions From Page 2.” It’ll be a best seller. Just humor me.

By TERRY TANG PHOENIX – Mary Scanlon had no idea a $3 purchase from a Goodwill store in Phoenix would turn out to be a rare link to the civil rights movement’s most revered leader.

In April, Scanlon was at the thrift store when she spotted a pile of 35 vintage reel-to-reel tapes, including one labeled with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s name. Despite the moldy and torn packaging, she snapped up all of them.

have any expectation that this tape would be rare,” she said.

Arizona State University archivists have found that tape is the only known recording of speeches the slain civil rights leader gave at ASU and at a Phoenix church in June 1964.

The hour-long audio has since been digitized and is available for listening on ASU’s website through June 30.

The tape illustrates that King had been eager to visit supporters in Arizona, which would draw criticism decades later for rescinding the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Scanlon, who donated all the tapes to the school, said the find is one of the high points of her life.

“To have anything about myself connected in any way to Martin Luther King, what more could a person ask for?

I’m so proud,” Scanlon said.

Rob Spindler, a university archivist and curator, said it’s miraculous that the audio was still intact. When he first spoke with Scanlon, he immediately warned her not to try and play the tape.

The tapes were taken from the Ragsdale Mortuary, which was owned by Lincoln Ragsdale, a civil rights leader in Phoenix who died in 1995, Goodwill employees said.

Spindler sent the tapes to a company in Kentucky to copy them to a digital format. On May 17, Spindler, Scanlon, a university librarian and two ASU professors who have researched King gathered to listen to the audio for the first time. Hearing King’s voice brought most of them to tears.

How to pay for early education plan?

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press

AP photo

Anna Munoz replies “4” to Gov. Pat Quinn after he asked her age Thursday at the Edwards Center for Young Learners in Chicago. Quinn made his “Birth to Five” early education push a major cornerstone of this year’s annual address to lawmakers. Yet, he’s proposing boosting an area that’s often one of the first victims of budget cuts when times are looking lean, with more than $800 million in cuts to education since 2009.

This year, the Board of Education is asking for an extra $25 million pegged for early childhood education programs to offset recent cuts.

Yet Quinn, touting the benefits of early childhood education, said Wednesday that he wants to increase access to prenatal care, early learning and parental support.

The idea was praised by early education advocates, including the Ounce of Prevention Fund, which is run

by Diana Rauner, wife of Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner, one of four Republicans vying to challenge Quinn in the fall.

Some lawmakers argue that the state, which faces roughly a $6 billion backlog of bills this year, must deal with existing obligations before taking on new ones.

State Sen. Pam Althoff, a McHenry Republican and former special education teacher, called expanding early childhood education “a laudable discussion to have at a state level.”

Yet, she said, “We’ve been strugState Sen. Pam Althoff, g l i n g w i t h ‘How do you R-McHenry pay for it?’ for the last several years. Let’s get our arms around what we owe and our deficit first.”

Quinn spent Thursday promoting his education initiative at early learning centers in Rockford and Chicago, but the Chicago Democrat declined to talk about costs or how the state would pay for it. Lawmakers tasked with appropriating education dol-

lars said no estimates were available as of Friday.

“We’ll talk about the budget when the budget time comes,” Quinn told reporters in Chicago.

Quinn’s February budget address will serve as the official opening salvo of budget negotiations for the year.

Extending an increase in the state income tax, which is set to drop back from 5 percent to 3.75 percent next January, is expected to be a divisive issue ahead of fall’s elections.

Mautino said lawmakers will be planning for several different outcomes.

“Our staffs at both sides are looking at different scenarios, which would look at it all across the board: Extending it, possibly extending it and letting it go away.”

Republicans who want the

income tax increase rolled back already are portraying themselves as better stewards of public funds than Democrats, who originally billed the increase as temporary.

Democrats, in turn, paint a doomsday scenario of cuts if the increase expires as planned, with some, including state Sen. Don Harmon, pushing for a graduated income tax – essentially making the wealthy pay more.

If the tax increase rolls back as scheduled, Mautino, of Spring Valley, said the state would have roughly $1.5 billion less to spend in 2015.

Mautino said if lawmakers want to set up a new initiative such as “Birth to Five,” they have two options: reduce spending in other areas, or use federal grant money to offset cuts.

Police object to fraction of gun-carry permits The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Police across Illinois have objected to just 236 applications from people seeking to carry concealed weapons out of 33,631 submitted to the state police.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday that a state licensing board will consider objections within 30 days of a police department filing one.

The board has a former judge, two former prosecutors, three former FBI agents and a psychiatry professor.

The first licenses to carry concealed weapons could be

issued by spring, the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reported Friday.

“We’re probably looking at some permits being issued after the first couple weeks in March,” Illinois State Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. “It’s a possibility.”

The Cook County Sheriff’s office has filed the most objections in the state, with 120.

The Chicago Police Department has only filed seven.

“The process for reviewing applications is rightly time-consuming and requires multiple levels of hand entry into various CPD

databases,” police spokesman Adam Collins said. “We are prioritizing reviews by the application due date and more than 96 percent of the applications remain in our 30-day window for review.”

Nearly 8,000 applications had been submitted by Cook County residents through Thursday.

That’s the most in the state, although smaller counties in other parts of the state have a higher percentage based on population.

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has assigned 25 employees to screen concealed carry

applications filed by anyone who has lived in Cook County during the past decade.

They scan for arrests for gunor gang-related crimes or violent offenses, along with any history of domestic violence or mental illness.

Dart spokesman Frank Bilecki said the office has identified a total of 360 applications to which it plans to object.

The licensing board must report to the governor and General Assembly on the number of objections it receives and the reason for any denied license.

Beaman appeals lawsuit dismissal in ISU case PEORIA – An Illinois man who was imprisoned before DNA evidence cleared him of murder has appealed the dismissal of his federal lawsuit claiming officials in the town of Normal conspired to build a case against him.

Alan Beaman’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal this week with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District, The Pantagraph reported Thursday.

The Rockford man was convicted in the 1993 strangulation death of Illinois State University student Jennifer Lockmiller and spent 13 years in prison. He was serving a 50-year sentence when the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction in 2008, and DNA testing pointed to two previously unknown suspects in the case.

A U.S. District Court judge dismissed Beaman’s lawsuit Jan. 2. The U.S. District Court judge ruled that Beaman’s claims didn’t show conspiracy.

Quinn skips over financial details in schools proposal SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn detailed an ambitious early childhood education plan during his State of the State address this week, but left out of the annual speech was any mention of how to pay for it in a state beset by financial troubles.

While Quinn’s “Birth to Five” initiative may serve as a cornerstone of his re-election campaign, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say implementing a costly new program could be a tough sell after deep state budget cuts and as they head into a legislative session expected to be dominated by a tax and spend debate.

“We’re going to have a really, really tough year,” said state Rep. Frank Mautino, House Speaker Michael Madigan’s point person on the budget. “What I’m looking at now, what our staffs are looking at, is potentially the reduction of $1.5 billion with the tax increase going away.”

The State Board of Education says it has already has seen more than $800 million in cuts to school funding since 2009. Among the school services and programs that receive state money, early childhood education has taken a hard hit, receiving $80 million less this year than the $380 million lawmakers approved in 2009.

“It’s gotten ravaged, it’s all gotten ravaged,” said Robin Steans, executive director of education think tank Advance Illinois. “And that’s happening in the face of the fact that every year that goes by there’s stronger and stronger evidence of how important education during the first five years is.”

Daley nephew pleads guilty in man’s death CHICAGO – A nephew of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter Friday in the death of a man he got into a fight with outside a bar in 2004.

Richard J. Vanecko entered the plea at a Rolling Meadows courthouse as part of a deal with a special prosecutor. In exchange, Vanecko will serve 60 days in the McHenry County Jail followed by 60 days of home confinement. He also was ordered to pay $20,000 in restitution.

David Koschman, 21, died days after he fell and struck his head during the fight outside a bar in the Gold Coast neighborhood.

The case has generated widespread media attention, fueled in large part by stories in the Chicago Sun-Times. The stories raised questions about whether Chicago police and Cook County prosecutors mishandled the original case. Koschman’s family contended there was a police cover-up.

Metra commuter rail service gets new CEO CHICAGO – Metra’s board of directors has picked a veteran railroader to lead the Chicago commuter rail agency.

Interim CEO Don Orseno, a former chief of operations and a train engineer early in his career, was named Friday chief executive officer, earning $262,000 a year.

Orseno’s appointment comes in the wake of riders complaining about delays and cancellations during January, and a recent report the agency’s police department is functioning improperly.

Orseno’s predecessor, Alex Clifford, said he was forced out of the job after a little over two years because he didn’t go along with patronage requests.

Clifford’s predecessor, Phil Pagano, committed suicide in 2010 during an investigation into his defrauding the agency of $475,000.

Obama eases insistence on citizenship path

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s new declaration that he’s open to legalizing many immigrants short of citizenship sounds a lot like House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders, an election-year compromise that numerous Republicans as well as Democrats crave.

But the drive for the first overhaul in three decades still faces major resistance from many Republicans who are wary that the divisive issue

could derail what they see as a smooth glide path to winning November’s congressional elections. And they deeply distrust the Democratic president to enforce the law.

Just hours after Boehner pitched immigration to the GOP at a Maryland retreat, Obama suddenly indicated he would be open to legal status for many of the 11 million living here illegally, dropping his once-ironclad insistence on a special path to citizenship.

Democrats, including Obama, and other immigration proponents have warned

repeatedly about the creation of a two-tier class system.

“If the speaker proposes something that says right away, folks aren’t being deported, families aren’t bePresident ing separated, Barack we’re able to atObama tract top young students to provide the skills or start businesses here, and then there’s a regular process of citizenship, I’m not sure how wide the divide ends up

being,” Obama said in a CNN interview that was recorded Thursday and aired Friday.

Obama’s flexibility is a clear indication of the president’s desire to secure an elusive legislative achievement before voters decide whether to hand him even more opposition in Congress. Republicans are expected to maintain their grip on the House and have a reasonable shot at grabbing the majority in the Senate.

“I’m going to do everything I can in the coming months to see if we can get this over the finish line,” Obama said Fri-

day of an immigration overhaul in a Google Plus Hangout talk.

In an earlier compromise, Obama signaled late last year that he could accept the House’s piecemeal, bill-bybill approach to immigration changes after months of backing a comprehensive, bipartisan Senate bill. Notably, he calibrated his comments on immigration in his State of the Union address this week.

“I think he realizes that this is a very delicate issue, it’s very controversial and I think his recent statements

have been very, very positive in allowing us to move forward,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., a proponent of immigration overhaul, told reporters Friday.

Boehner, for his part, tried to sell his reluctant broader caucus on tackling immigration this year by casting it as critical to job creation, economic growth and national security. The speaker, along with Reps. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Jeff Denham, R-Calif., argued for action in a closeddoor session with other House Republicans on Thursday.

In a move that disappointed environmental groups and cheered the oil industry, the Obama administration said Friday it had no major environmental objections to the oil pipeline from Canada.

Keystone pipeline clears hurdle State Dept.: No major objections

By MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline cleared a major hurdle toward approval Friday, a serious blow to environmentalists’ hopes that President Barack Obama will block the controversial project running more than 1,000 miles from Canada through the heart of the United States.

The State Department reported no major environmental objections to the proposed $7 billion pipeline, which has become a symbol of the political debate over climate change. Republicans and

some oil- and gas-producing states in the U.S. – as well as Canada’s minister of natural resources – cheered the report, but it further rankled environmentalists already at odds with Obama and his energy policy.

The report stops short of recommending approval of the pipeline, but the review gives Obama new support if he chooses to endorse it in spite of opposition from many Democrats and environmental groups.

Foes say the pipeline would carry “dirty oil” that contributes to global warming, and they also express concern about possible spills.

Pushing back on the notion that the pipeline is now headed for speedy approval, the White House said the report isn’t the final step and noted

that the report includes “a range of estimates of the project’s climate impacts.” Only after various U.S. agencies and the public have a chance to weigh the report and other data will a decision be made, said White House spokesman Matt Lehrich.

“The president has clearly stated that the project will be in the national interest only if it does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution,” Lehrich said.

Republicans and business and labor groups have urged Obama to approve the pipeline to create thousands of jobs and move further toward North American energy independence.

The pipeline is also strongly supported by Democrats in oil and gas-producing states, including Sens. Mary

Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.

All face re-election this year and could be politically damaged by rejection of the pipeline.

Republican Mitt Romney carried all three states in the 2012 presidential election.

The 1,179-mile pipeline would travel through the heart of the United States, carrying oil derived from tar sands in western Canada to a hub in Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines to carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.

It would cross Montana and South Dakota before reaching Nebraska. An existing spur runs through Kansas and Oklahoma to Texas.

Manuel Noriega. Over the years, the famous and the infamous have been caught up in the legal process called extradition, which governs whether one country will turn over fugitives from justice to another country.

It may ultimately be the turn of Amanda Knox, whose murder conviction in the stabbing of her roommate has been reinstated by an Italian court, raising the specter of a long extradition fight. She said she’ll never willingly go back to Italy.

The Knox case is special because it raises the question of whether the U.S. government would send one of its own citizens to a foreign country to face a long prison term.

The answer: It’s been done before, though in less high-profile cases involving the governments of Canada, Mexico and other nations.

The U.S. has extradition treaties with more than 100 countries, including Italy, providing what would appear to be a strong legal foundation in favor of a request for Knox’s return to Italy.

“It’s absolutely not the case that an individual will not be extradited just because they are a U.S. citizen,” says Douglas McNabb, an international criminal defense attorney and an expert in international extradition law.

Time is on the side of Knox’s lawyers. Proceedings could take up to a year to play out in the Italian courts.

If Italy were to file a provisional arrest warrant after the Italian proceedings end, Knox’s lawyers could take the U.S. government through a judicial process in the courts and an administrative process at the State Department, which would make the decision.

State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf declined comment Friday when asked whether the U.S. has received an extradition request for Knox from Italian authorities, saying that information is “private and confidential.” She said the State Department is monitoring the case as it works its way through the Italian legal system but refused to provide further details, such as whether Secretary of State John Kerry would make the final decision on Knox if Italy asks for her to be returned.

The U.S. has had an extradition treaty with Italy since 1984 and has denied at least several requests since then.

Mary Fan, a former federal prosecutor, suggested that any decision by the State Department on whether to return Knox to Italy is “a matter of both law and politics.”

From a U.S. standpoint, the case at first seems to raise questions about double jeopardy – being tried twice for the same offense, something that’s barred by the U.S. Constitution.

Amid drought, California agency won’t allot water SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Amid severe drought conditions, California officials announced Friday they won’t send any water from the state’s vast reservoir system to local agencies beginning this spring, an unprecedented move that affects drinking water supplies for 25 million people and irrigation for 1 million acres of farmland.

The announcement marks the first time in the 54-year history of the State Water Project that

such an action has been taken, but it does not mean that every farm field will turn to dust and every city tap will run dry.

The 29 agencies that draw from the state’s water-delivery system have other sources, although those also have been hard-hit by the drought. The announcement affects water deliveries planned to begin this spring, and the allotment could increase if weather patterns change and send more storms into the state.

More TV ads set to air in GOP primary • RUTHERFORD Continued from page A1 Schrimpf said the lawyer mentioned by Rutherford worked for Rauner last spring on an office space lease. The attorney was paid a one-time fee of $3,500 and nothing was discussed with the attorney related to the treasurer, Schrimpf said.

“Treasurer Rutherford should spend his time answering the serious claims made against him by a state employee, rather than trying to distract attention with a ridiculous false claim against us,” Schrimpf said in an emailed statement.

Rutherford said the allegations were an attempt to knock him down ahead of the March 18 primary. Olson said the alleged conversation seeking the $300,000 happened within the last week.

Svenson, the lawyer for the accuser, said in the statement that she contacted Rutherford’s office directly after investigating her client’s allegations. She said Rutherford and his attorneys had expressed “a strong interest in keeping the matter private” and that the two sides had been negotiating in good faith until as recently as Thursday.

She said the claims had nothing to do with politics.

“I have nothing against Dan Rutherford, and have no horse in the governor’s primary race,” Svenson said.

Rutherford and Rauner are among four candidates seeking the party’s nomination at a critical juncture for the Illinois GOP. After 2010, when seven candidates sought the GOP gubernatorial nod at one time, party officials were hoping for a 2014 campaign that would keep the focus on replacing Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn instead of intraparty squabbles. Quinn faces one primary challenger, anti-violence activist Tio Hardiman.

The other Republicans running for governor – state Sens.

Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady – have raised questions about Rauner’s financial dealings and his daughter’s admission into an elite Chicago school.

Rauner shot back during a debate in early January, called it a “beat up Brucey” event and scrutinized the other three candidates’ connections to union money.

Friday’s twist – with the allegation of a shakedown and questions about Rutherford’s tenure as treasurer – took on a new tone. During the news conference, Rutherford raised his voice several times, particularly when talking about Rauner. He alleged the misconduct claim was a wellthought out scheme and that he’d been “set up.”

“It’s trench warfare from now on,” said political strategist Don Rose.

Rutherford is set to begin airing television ads next week, the second candidate to do so after Rauner. Rutherford ended the last quarter with about $1.37 million cash on hand, more than any other GOP candidate. But Rauner has raised about $4 million in the last quarter, far outpacing all the other GOP candidates.

“We’ve seen another person enter the race with millions and millions and millions of dollars who is specifically noted to say he is going to destroy his opponents,” Rutherford said. “Nice try.

Rutherford is staying in this race. I’m going to turn this back on him and I’m going to be the Republican nominee.”

Olson said more information could be detailed later. He said the independent probe “will be thorough and bring it to light at some point when it’s appropriate.”

Ukraine activist’s story fuels torture fears The ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine – The bloody images of Ukrainian opposition supporter Dmytro Bulatov, who said he was abducted and tortured for more than a week, have fueled fears among anti-government activists that extrajudicial squads are being deployed to intimidate the protest movement.

Bulatov, who was in charge of a vocal protest

group before he disappeared Jan. 22, recounted a gruesome ordeal, saying his unidentified kidnappers beat him, sliced off part of his ear and nailed him to a door during his time in captivity.

“There isn’t a spot on my body that hasn’t been beaten.

My face has been cut. They promised to poke my eye out.

They cut off my ear,” Bulatov, 35, said Friday in a short video from a hospital. “They crucified me by nailing me to a

door with something and beat me strongly all the while.”

The government has faced two months of major protests that started after President Victor Yanukovych backed out of an agreement to deepen ties with the European Union in favor of Russia. The demonstrations quickly grew into discontent over heavy-handed police, corruption and human rights violations.

Some opposition leaders believe the government will

Domestic abuse also a focus for Zinke • ZINKE Continued from page A1 But Zinke’s very own cause célèbre, the focus of his term should he be elected, is combating the county’s unrelenting heroin problem.

He pointed to the heroin task force, which he leads. He wants to continue with those efforts, but also to focus not only on combating the drug problem, but the crimes that so often go with it.

“The tragedies that these families are facing and the residual crimes – the thefts and the burglaries – it’s tearing families apart and we’ve got to stop it,” he said.

Stopping it may mean reaching users early. Zinke says he’s in the planning stages of a crime diversion program for juveniles.

Fundraising to date According to quarterly reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Election, Andrew Zinke has $38,418 in the bank compared to Bill Prim’s $23,600.41. Zinke raised $21,401.23 in the most recent quarter. Prim raised $10,310.

He wants to use a vacant cell block at the jail to house a program that would work with schools officials and mental health professionals to give troubled youth a firsthand glimpse into the county jail.

“If we can touch one or two kids,” Zinke said, “and make an impact on them by letting them see what the inside of the jail looks like, and how restricting and how uncomfortable it is, that

could change their mind and change their path.”

Another cause he’d take up is domestic violence. He’d appoint a supervisor to review all domestic violence reports and ensure that the sheriff’s office follows up.

“We do some of it now,” Zinke said. “But with a more concerted, focused effort, I think we can work with ... victims of domestic violence.

Some people think they’re treated like victimless crimes; they’re not. There is a victim and that person has a voice, and that person needs to be heard and protected.”

do anything to save itself, including sending brutal squads of torturers to quash the demonstrations.

8WORLD BRIEFS UNESCO team ‘shocked’ at Egyptian museum loss CAIRO – UNESCO pledged Friday to help restore a renowned museum dedicated to Islamic history in Cairo that was devastated by a bomb last week, with officials expressing “shock” at the scale of the damage.

The Museum of Islamic Art was across the street from the truck bomb that targeted the Egyptian capital’s security headquarters on Jan. 24. It killed four people and damaged buildings for hundreds of yards around, smashing the museum’s facade and sending debris crashing onto exhibits.

Egypt’s Antiquities Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said that 164 of the 1,471 items on display were damaged, of which 90 could be reassembled or restored. Most of the 74 irreparably damaged items were glass and porcelain, smashed to powder.

On a tour of the building on Friday, shattered glass littered the floor while fragments and steel slabs from the broken windows lay all over.

Syria talks adjourn with no signs of progress

David Sorenson of Crystal Lake walks past a mural Friday outside Lucky Break Bicycles on Dole Avenue in Crystal Lake. A winter storm warning is in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. McHenry County can expect 5 to 8 inches of snow with the southern portion of the county taking the hardest hit.

Southern end of county to be hardest hit • SNOW Continued from page A1 8 inches of snow Friday and Saturday, with the southern portion of the county taking the hardest hit.

“A pretty wide range of snowfall is still possible but it doesn’t look like it will get to 10 inches,” Izzi said. “It looks like the heaviest snow

will be in south part of the county.”

Previous estimates had forecasted as much as 10 inches of snow for the area.

The peak snowfall will occur early Saturday morning, tapering off in the afternoon, Izzi said. County residents should have a break from the snow Saturday night through Monday, but more is expected Tuesday and Wednesday.

High winds and drifting snow caused travel issues earlier in the week, but gusts were only expected to reach about 10 mph Friday night.

The wind was expected to get stronger early Saturday with gusts reaching 20 mph.

Temperatures will remain low, with a high of 25 degrees Saturday and 13 degrees Sunday, before falling to single digits next week.

date and to set cars on fire,” Turchynov said. “The authorities are using criminal structures to fight against the opposition and its own people.”

The Interior Ministry said it was investigating Bulatov’s story, but it also accused him of failing to cooperate. Oleh Tatarov, deputy chief of the Interior Ministry’s main investigative department, said Bulatov’s kidnapping could have been staged in order to create a provocation.

GENEVA – A tumultuous week of peace talks aimed at stemming Syria’s bloodbath ended Friday with no progress to show and a lingering standoff over President Bashar Assad’s future.

Assad’s delegation refused to commit to return to Geneva for the next round of talks in 10 days – as the U.N. mediator had proposed – and the opposition chief accused the Syrian government of posturing to gain time.

U.N. mediator Lakhdar Brahimi struggled to find positive

words as the first face-to-face talks between the warring sides concluded. Uncertainty over his proposed Feb. 10 date for a second round of peace talks and mutual accusations between the delegates over the talks’ lack of progress underscored the tremendous challenges of finding a way out of Syria’s deadly impasse.

More than 130,000 people have been killed since March 2011 in a conflict that has destabilized neighboring countries and forced millions of people from their homes.

Spy agency tracked Canadians at an airport TORONTO – A secret document leaked by former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden shows Canada’s electronic spy agency used information gleaned from a free internet service at a Canadian airport to track the wireless devices of thousands of airline passengers.

The report indicates the Communications Security Establishment Canada was given information taken from wireless devices using the airport’s Wi-Fi system over a two-week period. It’s not clear which airport was involved.

The document shows the spy agency was then able to track travelers for a week or more as they showed up in other Wi-Fi locations in cities across Canada.

The Canadian Broadcast Corporation obtained the document and posted it to its website Friday. According to the document, the agency tracked metadata including the location and telephone numbers of calls made and received but not the content.

Recognition for the Raue The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To the upcoming McHenry County Historical Society’s plaquing of the former El Tovar Theatre in downtown Crystal Lake that we all now know as the Raue Center for the Arts. Towns will change and progress, but it’s important to acknowledge some of our unique buildings, including this beautiful theater, which is one of a few fantastic McHenry County hubs for the arts.

Thumbs down: To Richmond-Burton High School officials for postponing the school’s Snowcoming Dance because of the act of one student last week. The school has not announced whether the dance will be rescheduled. The student’s action, posted on YouTube, was embarrassing for the school and completely inappropriate. The school’s response was not proper either.

Thumbs up: To McHenry County College, for earning recognition as a top 150 community college by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program. As a result, MCC is a finalist for a $1 million grant. The initial pool of 150 finalists was determined using public data on student outcomes, certificate completion rates and retention. While we have not always agreed with MCC’s board of directors on the college’s direction, this recognition indicates that it is very good at its primary mission.

Thumbs down: To scammers trying to defraud local businesses. Scammers continue to target local businesses by posing as ComEd representatives. During the scam, a caller says the business has late electric bills and threatens that the power will be shut off if the payments aren’t made immediately. The caller says they can accept payment over the phone by credit card or check, and asks for a call back to balance the account, a Crystal Lake police news release said. The department urges you to never provide personal information or pay for anything over the phone when you don’t believe you owe the requested funds. Attempted fraud should be reported to the Crystal Lake Police Department at 815-356-3620.

Needed fix to Voting Rights Act The anti-democratic tactics that motivated the Voting Rights Act in 1965 have morphed into methods cleverly camouflaged but with the same discriminatory effects. The act is still all too necessary.

The U.S. Supreme Court in June gutted a key provision of the act.

Texas is the poster boy for why that was to civil rights what a jackhammer is to a block of concrete. Freed of the need to get changes in voting law precleared – because of its history of thwarting minorities at the polls – Texas quickly put its voter ID law into effect. This, despite a federal court ruling that the law intentionally discriminated. It then rushed the Legislature to approve allegedly new-and-improved redistricting maps, which were substantively based on plans another court said also discriminated.

Three members committed to voting rights have now introduced legislation that creates a new formula in the act. The authors are Reps.

Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., and John Conyers, D-Mich., and Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

Five or more voting rights violations during the previous 15 calendar years would trigger preclearance.

The Voting Rights Act should be able to block discrimination before it is inflicted.

Congress should approve this new formula.

Republicans want a heart-to-heart with women WASHINGTON – The Republican Party spent much of its winter meeting last week adopting reforms suggested by its 2013 selfie, which was a snapshot of all that is wrong with the party (“scary,” “narrow-minded,” dominated by “stuffy old men,” and unlikely to win nationally unless it attracts minorities and women).

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has unfurled his plan to fix all that. Truncate the number of primaries and limit those that are winner-take-all? Check.

Have fewer debates with fewer clowns on stage? Check.

Coronate the nominee at a convention that is held in early summer rather than around Labor Day? Check.

The party also is at pains to be done with its “we’re-just-notthat-into-you” attitude toward women. The campaign committee is holding remedial classes to teach male candidates how to talk to female voters and how to run against a woman, a challenge they are very likely to face in 2016. You’re in a deep hole if you don’t know how to talk to more than half the electorate, but you have to start somewhere.

That effort was undercut when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a known recidivist on women’s issues, was given a plum speaking role at the meeting and when Priebus singled out Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky for praise. Paul is another known wild card. He gained notoriety for musing

VIEWS Margaret Carlson about whether civil rights laws were the right way to go. Maybe women shouldn’t even vote.

You’ve got to hand it to Huckabee for vividness. He created a new character for women to ponder: Uncle Sugar.

“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” he said.

Yuck! We can now add incest and molestation at a family gathering to the images of women in heat that Republicans have put in our heads. In 2012, women went against the Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, 55 percent to 44 percent. Huckabee could help push that to 60-40.

The party shouldn’t be surprised by Huckabee. He was the last and loudest supporter of former Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri, whose confusion about female anatomy cost him a 2012 Senate race. Akin mused over what constituted “legitimate rape” and how women came equipped with a built-in defense against getting pregnant if attacked.

Such thoughts don’t pop out of nowhere. They are in the Re-

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

publican atmosphere just waiting to be blurted out. Huckabee is no backbencher. He’s mulling another presidential run.

As with Holocaust comparisons in almost any context (see: Tom Perkins), women and their reproductive systems should be off-limits to male Republicans.

Rush Limbaugh, the party’s unofficial leader, said that a woman who thought contraception should be covered by insurance was a “slut.” (Viagra, by the way, is covered in many policies.)

“It makes her a prostitute,” he said of Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University student who testified in favor of such coverage. “She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception.”

Remarkably, he then entered into Uncle Sugar country. He pleaded for Fluke to “post the videos online.”

To round out a bad week, Paul said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that “if there was a war on women, I think they won.”

He goes on to cite anecdotal evidence: “The women in my family are incredibly successful. I have a niece at Cornell vet school, and 85 percent of the young people there are women. In law school, 60 percent are women. In med school, 55 percent. My younger sister is an OB-GYN with six kids and doing great.”

He fails to note that the pay gap between male and female physicians grew to $50,000 in 2010. It’s similar for lawyers. We don’t know about dog doctors.

In his view, the real war on

women was conducted by Democrats who, along with the news media, let it pass when former President Bill Clinton engaged in “predatory” sexual behavior.

I seem to remember the media having a field day, and I don’t recall any Democrats condoning his behavior. Still, it’s one argument to make when there aren’t a lot of options.

Paul and Huckabee’s remarks followed by just a few days an attack on Wendy Davis, the Texas gubernatorial candidate, who suddenly was a bad woman for getting divorced at 21, rather than 19, as she’d said. In addition, because she had help from her second husband, Republicans accused her of lying about her up-from-the-bootstraps story.

Would any male politician be questioned about his mettle and pluck if he was aided by his stayat-home wife?

For all his plans to broaden the party’s appeal, Priebus came off as a halfhearted reformer.

Huckabee’s “good message,” he said, was “overshadowed by a choice of words that was just a little bit off, that’s all.”

As for Paul, revisiting Clinton’s mistake as a way to show concern for all womankind and incriminate Hillary is daring but not wise.

Republicans don’t have an answer to Freud’s timeless question about what women want, but they sure know how to jump on what they don’t want.

CL MAN ACCUSED OF MAKING THREAT

HARVARD – A Crystal Lake man was arrested Friday after being charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly making a threat through social media to shoot 20 unnamed students at Harvard High School.

Trevor A. Pilz, 19, of 1740 Copperfield St. in Crystal Lake, was arrested at 3:30 p.m. Friday by Harvard and Crystal Lake police and charged with the Class 4 felony. He is being held at McHenry County Jail on $20,000 bond.

A Class 4 felony is punishable by up to three years in prison.

Harvard Deputy Police Chief Mark Krause said high school personnel notified the department of the threat Friday after discovering it was made on a social media platform earlier in the week.

When the arrest was made, Krause said the seriousness of the threat could not be determined but said an investigation was ongoing.

“We have to consider everything pretty credible until we know different,” he said.

Pilz’s Facebook page shows he is from Harvard but went to Woodstock North High School.

An expletive-laden, vague death threat directed toward unknown people was posted on his Facebook page earlier this week.

Local grade schoolers honor fallen astronauts

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com

Students from the Crystal Lake Montessori School hold electronic candles Friday while watching a video about fallen astronauts from Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia during a ceremony for NASA’s national “Day of Remembrance” at the Challenger Learning Center for Science and Technology in Woodstock.

WOODSTOCK – Rebecca Gilmore couldn’t help but be moved by the moment.

As her students crowded into a group outside the Challenger Learning Center and one by one released balloons into the cold air, Gilmore thought back to those three space shuttle tragedies – the Challenger, Apollo and Columbia.

“It gives me goosebumps,” said Gilmore, a teacher at Crystal Lake Montessori school. “It’s just a powerful moment to remember.”

Gilmore wasn’t the only one thinking back to three of the most remembered moments in the history of space exploration on Friday. The Challenger center recognized NASA’s national “Day of Remembrance” with a ceremony honoring the 17 fallen astronauts.

About 55 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders arrived Friday morning to engage in the center’s offerings. Just before noon, the students were handed electronic candles and filtered into the center’s common area. They faced a TV that played a video about the three missions.

Centegra’s 1,000th cardiac Railway museum surgery patient recovering seeking donations Asks public to help fund solar farm project

Doctors encourage cardiac awareness in Heart Month

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

By JIM DALLKE

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

jdallke@shawmedia.com McHENRY – In October, Harry “Duke” Burmann was flat on a Centegra Hospital – McHenry operating table with his chest split open.

Doctors poured ice on his heart and cooled it to 9 degrees in order to stop it from beating.

After grafts were sewed on and the bypasses were complete, Burmann’s heart was restarted, finishing a successful open heart surgery for the 72-yearold.

Burmann was Centegra Health System’s 1,000th cardiac surgery, and the Northwest Herald was invited to attend the milestone operation. On Friday, Burmann was at a cardiac rehab appointment and said he’s feeling better than ever.

“I feel great,” Burmann said. “I didn’t [have the surgery] to add to the years, the length of life. It’s the quality of life. I enjoy playing tennis. I enjoy being active. I’ve always

It was during a tennis match last year that Burmann first

thought something might be wrong. He was getting tired much faster than he used to. It was difficult for him to breath and he was struggling just to mow the lawn.

After visiting his doctor and taking a stress test, Burmann was told one of his major arteries was 99 percent blocked.

He needed to have open heart surgery.

UNION – Solar-powered demonstration trains in Union may never happen unless the community can spark a slow-moving $2.85 million renewable energy project at the Illinois Railway Museum.

Since last summer, the museum has been securing grants to cover 60 percent of the $2.85 million price tag to build a 5-acre renewable solar farm designed to dramatically reduce electrical costs and completely power the museum’s demonstration trains.

Officials have recently begun contacting individual donors and businesses to cover the remaining costs.

The museum ultimately needs $1.14 million from the community to cover the green energy project, said Max Tyms, superin-

tendent of the museum’s DC Line.

“This is a way of continuing support for the museum,” Tyms said.

“If you give to the solar farm, it will function for decades and it will reduce our electricity costs. We can put those savings to better use other than just paying ComEd for electricity.”

Since announcing the project last spring, museum officials have refined the costs of the solar farm, originally estimated at $3.5 million total.

They initially thought the more than 3,000 proposed solar panels could be turned on by this coming summer.

If completed, the 850-kilowatt solar project would become one of the largest solar farms in the state, museum officials have said.

The solar farm’s environmental benefits would eliminate 775 tons of carbon dioxide, roughly 3,900 pounds of nitrous oxide and 10,100 pounds of sulfur pollution each year, Tyms said.

MCHENRY COUNTY: UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION

3 arrested on drug conspiracy charges

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Three McHenry County women could face up to more than 30 years in prison after police levied drug conspiracy charges against them following an undercover investigation.

Those charged are Serena M. Mee, 39, of 1904 Orchard Beach in McHenry; Brenda S. Haseman, 59, of 8013 East St. in Spring Grove; and Bridget A. Murphy, 38, of 8013 East St. in Spring Grove.

All three women were charged with two Class X felonies and multiple lesser charges.

The two Class X felonies – calculated criminal drug conspiracy delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school – are each punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

The Thursday arrests followed a monthlong undercover investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force,

Lake in the Hills Police Department, Spring Grove Police Department and McCullom Lake Police Department.

During the investigation, multiple undercover purchases of heroin from the women were conducted.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service Great Lakes Regional Task Force acted on a search warrant for the Spring Grove address Thursday and seized approximately 13.7 grams of heroin, 27 Xanax pills, 10 methylphenidate hydrochloride pills, multiple items of drug paraphernalia, $521 and a 2001 GMC Jimmy.

Officers estimate the street value of $1,180 for the seized drugs.

Mee is being held on $350,000 bond while Haseman is being held on $300,000 bond and Murphy on $150,000 bond.

Their next court appearance is 9 a.m. Tuesday at the McHenry County Courthouse.

The all-volunteer museum primarily preserves and restores steam, diesel and heavy electric trains.

School children and other museum visitors can ride the historic trains along the museum’s 5-mile demonstration railroad, between Union and

Huntley.

“This solar farm expands our educational offerings,” Tyms said. “We are not just teaching these children the history of trains. Now, we can teach and demonstrate the science and technology of trains.”

Individuals interested in learning about the project or about making a donation can visit the museum’s solar farm website at www.irmsolarfarm.com.

Continued from page B1 All three shuttles malfunctioned within a one week period, providing a natural window for NASA’s annual “Day of Remembrance.”

The three astronauts aboard Apollo 1 during a launch test cabin fire died Jan. 27, 1967. Seven died on Jan. 28, 1986, when the Challenger exploded a little more than a minute into its flight.

Another seven crew members died Feb. 1, 2003, when the Columbia disintegrated on its way back to earth.

“Today, we are honoring these 17 astronauts,” Challenger Executive Director Chantel Madson told the kids. “If you think about it, it’s pretty amazing that only 17 have lost their lives.

But they were all important space pioneers.”

After the video, students filed outside and into the center’s parking lot. The names

of each astronaut were written on balloons color coded red, white and blue to signify each mission. The balloons were then released by 17 selected students.

“They’ve studied it,” Gilmore said of the three events. “But they’ve never really acknowledged it in such a touching way.”

In addition to Crystal Lake Montessori, students from Seth Whitman Elementary in Belvidere were on hand Friday. Susan Williams, a

Now, as he’s coming down to his final few rehab appointments, it won’t be long until he’s back to full strength.

Most hospitals have biometric screening programs where people can get their numbers checked, and are often offered at a fairly low price, Hinkamp said.

Burmann said he’s glad his surgery is behind him, and he’s looking forward getting back on the tennis court. “[The surgery] extends your life and will add to your life experience,” he said. “If you’ve got a problem, get it fixed. Work out here, get back in shape and live ‘til the end.”

The Fashion Fund: This new show on the Ovation Channel is such an interesting look at high fashion designers with Vogue editor Anna Wintour leading the way. These designers are what “Project Runway” contestants aspire to be. The Golfer was hesitant to watch but I reminded him that “The Devil Wears Prada” taught us we are all influenced by high fashion, whether we realize it or not. Luckily, he enjoys it, even though he says it is “for the business aspect.” Whatever holds his interest is good New Glasses: I just got a new pair of glasses with me; it’s just nice to have another show we on Thursday and could not be happier!

REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“Labor Day” STARRING: Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Griffith

PLOT: Depressed single mom Adele and her son, Henry, offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.

RATED: PG-13 for thematic material, brief violence and sexuality TIME: 1 hour, 51 minutes VERDICT: “Labor Day” turns out to be aptly titled, and not only because it transpires over the course of one hot-and-heavy summer’s end in the mid-1980s. In this intense, exquisitely photographed domestic potboiler, both Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin deliver studiously serious performances, trying mightily not to betray how hard they’re working to overcome the preposterous story in which they find themselves. Adapted by Jason Reitman from a novel by Joyce Maynard, this sexually charged wish-fulfillment fantasy – complete with troubling masochistic and Oepidal undertones – arrives with people already buzzing about its standout scene, in which Brolin’s charismatic ex-convict teaches Winslet’s depressive, agoraphobic housewife how to bake a peach pie (never before has the word “crumbing” been quite so erotically charged).

But that turns out to be just one of the many gemutlich talents of Frank, who first meets Adele (Winslet) and her 13-year-old son, Henry (Gattlin Griffith), when they take a rare outing to buy school clothes. Having recently escaped from prison, Frank forces himself into their car and proceeds to hold them hostage in their airless, unkempt house. Soon, the taciturn, rough-hewn dreamboat is changing the oil in Adele’s car, teaching Henry how to throw a baseball, waxing the floors and even ironing. It’s not for nothing that, back in the variety store, he emerged from behind a rack of super-hero comics. If only Reitman, best know for such comedies as “Juno,” “Up In the Air” and “Young Adult,” had brought some wit or swiftness to bear on Maynard’s painfully trite and retrograde plot, which only grows more contrived with the introduction of a creepily precocious girl whom Henry fatefully befriends at the local library. But “Labor Day” has been staged so handsomely, its actors delivering such alternately seductive and solemn performances, that the blame seems most fairly assigned to the source material, which resorts to facile captivity fantasies and cheap psychology, rather than the characters’ own contradictions, to make its dramatic points. It’s difficult to believe a word of “Labor Day,” but then again you don’t have to in order to luxuriate in Winslet and Brolin’s bubbling, steaming chemistry.

Still, between this, “Revolutionary Road” and “Mildred Pierce,” it seems past time for Winslet to cast off the sackcloth and ashes of suburban angst and live it up a little. A girl can’t live on pie and penance alone. – The

“Lone Survivor” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch

PLOT: Based on the failed June 28, 2005, mission Operation Red Wings. Four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd.

RATED: R for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language TIME: 2 hours, 1 minute VERDICT: With all the talk about fact-based films and how accurate they should or shouldn’t be, it’s worth noting some stories are best brought to screen as simply and purely as possible. This is especially true with a film like “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s expertly rendered account of a disastrous 2005 military operation in Afghanistan. War is messy, and politics are messy. But Berg has wisely chosen to focus pretty squarely on the action, and to present it as straightforwardly as possible. And he’s executed that approach with admirable skill, down to using autopsy reports to get the

LOCAL SHOWTIMES number of wounds a soldier suffered exactly right. “Lone Survivor” doesn’t have nearly the sweep of a major war film like Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.” But the action scenes – basically, one protracted, harrowing firefight – feel as realistic as any we’ve seen on the screen for some time.

That firefight, for those unfamiliar with the story (Berg also penned the screenplay, based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell), took place June 28, 2005, in the craggy mountains of Afghanistan’s Kunar province. As part of Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fellow SEALS were positioned on a hillside, tracking a Taliban commander in the village below, when they suddenly encountered a few local shepherds.

Their agonized decision on what to do with those shepherds, one of them a teenager, led to a string of events that ultimately resulted in 19 American deaths. Of course, the title, “Lone Survivor,” and the fact Luttrell is played by the movie’s star (Mark Wahlberg, in a strong and moving performance) tells you much of what’s going to happen from the get-go. But that doesn’t hurt the film’s immediacy and power.

In fact, you may have a hard time sitting still. Berg opens with footage of real Navy SEAL training and the extremes it reaches – some might call it unnecessary and overly worshipful, but for people who don’t know a lot about the SEALS, it’s helpful and effective. We’re also given a sense of the lighthearted camaraderie at the military base, in between operations, as the men joke about wives and girlfriends back home, or compete in foot races. One of the SEALS worries about how to afford a wedding present for his bride. The veterans engage in a little good-natured ribbing of a new arrival – involving some silly dancing. But all lightness disappears suddenly, and for good. Soon, Luttrell is hunkered in the mountains with his comrades: Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt “Axe” Axelson (Ben Foster).

All seems to be going well until the moment they encounter the villagers; the ensuing debate is a painful one. At the end, we see photos of the actual casualties of Operation Red Wings.

It does not seem gratuitous, and no further explanation or exposition is given, or needed. Again, the best thing about Berg’s work here is its simplicity. – The Associated Press

“The Nut Job” STARRING: The voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser and Liam Neeson PLOT: Surly, a curmudgeon, independent squirrel, is banished from his park and forced to survive in the city. Lucky for him, he stumbles on the one thing that may be able to save his life, and the rest of park community, as they gear up for winter – Maury’s Nut Store.

RATED: PG for mild action and rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 26 minutes VERDICT: “The Nut Job” certainly looks nice. Colors are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn shades of trees in Liberty Park, in fictional Oakton City, where much of the action takes place. There’s a lovely moment where shimmering water reflects the leaves above. And the whole thing has a period feel – mid-20th century – which is appealing, though confusing, too, when you see characters break into what looks like very 21st-century dancing at one point. Like most animated films these days, “The Nut Job,” a joint Canadian-South KoreanU.S. production, trades on its celebrity voices, which here include Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recognizably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds like he could be on a Shakespearean stage. Not that you could call this dialogue Shakespearean. Or even witty. This being a film about squirrels and their nuts, kids will enjoy the “nut” puns, and parents will groan. The story, based on Lepeniotis’ short film, “Surly Squirrel,” is simple: The animals in Liberty Park, ruled by a gruff raccoon (Neeson, of course) ominously just named Raccoon, are facing a severe nut shortage just as winter is approaching. Surly the

squirrel (Arnett), who thinks only of himself, has somehow set fire to the winter stockpile. (Watch for the nice shot of popping corn kernels from an exploding tree – it will remind you there’s a reason you’re wearing those 3-D glasses.) But Surly doesn’t seem willing to help solve the situation, and he’s banished from the park to the city. There, he discovers a nut shop – cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you name it. If he can snag that booty, he’ll be golden for the winter, though that won’t necessarily help out his furry friends in the park, led by the feisty Andie (Heigl). Of course, there’s a big complication. A group of human lowlifes plotting a bank heist have their own connections to the nut stash, for reasons unrelated to nutrition. – The Associated Press

“Ride Along” STARRING: Ice Cube, Kevin Hart and Tika Sumpter PLOT: Fast-talking security guard Ben joins his cop brother-in-law James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta to prove himself worthy of marrying Angela, James’ sister.

RATED: PG-13 sequences of violence, sexual content and brief strong language TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: Joining the ranks of odd-couple police comedies, “Ride Along” delivers laughs over action, with loudmouthed funnyman Kevin Hart driving the hilarity. Stepping into the role of rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube’s sidekick in this buddy-cop farce, Hart had a lot to live up to.

Cube (real name O’Shea Jackson) and Chris Tucker were classic quipsters in the 1995 pot-comedy “Friday” that started it all, and when then-newcomer Mike Epps dropped in on the sequel, his chemistry with Cube led to a third film. The formula is always the same: Cube, who is level-headed for the most part, gets into trouble with his ridiculous sidekick. “Ride Along” is no different, and that’s OK. It’s a blueprint we’ve come to rely on for nearly 20 years. With roots in stand-up, Hart continues to make a successful transition from stage to screen, with three films released in the past year and five scheduled through 2015. In “Ride Along,” Hart’s rapid banter comes off naturally, as if he’s always improvising. Cube’s no-nonsense approach, punctuated by his steady straightface, offers an ideal contrast. Ben (Hart), who has just been accepted into the Atlanta police academy, is ready to ask his girlfriend Angela (Tika Sumpter) to marry him. But first, he’s determined to get the approval of her older brother, James (Cube), an Atlanta police officer. But at 5 feet, 4 inches tall, Ben is far from James’ biggest fan. He’d pictured his sister with a brawny athlete, “not the mascot,” he says. In order to prove he’s worthy of asking for Angela’s hand, Ben must accompany James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta. Unfortunately, Ben doesn’t do a great job of being tough or discrete. He likens police work to his “Call of Duty” video gaming and calls Angela “bouncy butt” after telling her, “You make me think of rainbows because we both love colors.” It’s one of many absurdly funny lines Hart delivers while trying to prove himself to James. And their exchange, reminiscent of smooth-talking Will Smith and the foolish Martin Lawrence in “Bad Boys,” is consistently amusing.

When James requests a day of “Code 126” cases, cop lingo for an annoying situation, Ben is put to the test as he attempts to get a crew of loitering bikers away from a storefront and put a drunken grocery store customer in custody. Though primarily a flunky in any physical task – he can’t even shoot a shotgun without its recoil hurling him backward – Ben uncovers a number of clues throughout the day, helping James with his hunt for the ruthless and allusive Atlanta kingpin Omar. Despite failing all of James’ tests, Ben refuses to bow down and accuses James of having trust issues. “That’s why you don’t have a partner,” he says, foreshadowing a sequel. After fellow officers (played by John Leguizamo and Bryan Callen) set up James during a supposed bust, Ben comes to his rescue, which wins him big points with James. This predict-

“That Awkward Moment” STARRING: Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller

PLOT: Three best friends find themselves where we’ve all been – at that confusing moment in every dating relationship when you have to decide “So...where is this going?”

RATED: R for sexual content and language throughout TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes VERDICT: As Zac Efron tears up and professes his love to a pert blonde who gave it up on the first night, it’s clear the story line of romantic comedy “That Awkward Moment” has gone too far. This is not because Efron’s leading lady isn’t captivating or that a fella can’t fall in love swiftly. But this revelatory moment required a compelling buildup – and an actor who could carry it out believably. For his first film, writerdirector Tom Gormican attempts

Regal Cinemas – 12:20, 4:30, 8:40 p.m. is predictable, it’s not a complete disappointment. It’s satisfying for a lover of formulaic rom-coms. There are amusing moments of absurdity involving Viagra and urination. And sweet bits, such as Jason’s surprise tour of Ellie’s dream Gramercy Park apartment. And there’s an attempt to inject some heaviness as Ellie’s father dies. But despite Jason and Ellie’s budding romance, Jason is a no-show at Ellie’s father’s funeral.

As a result, Ellie cuts him off. But Gormican fails to show Jason’s efforts to get Ellie back and falls short of making Efron’s character anything but selfish and egocentric. So when Jason cries in front of a bookstore full of people while declaring Ellie’s “the one,” it’s unconvincing. Set against lofty talents like Jordan and Teller (fresh off the top Sundance award for his “Whiplash”), Efron comes off as little more than a pretty face. Luckily, his comedic timing is on target, though most of the jokes here are unnecessarily crass and forced. Each emerging actress possesses a refreshing charm and on-screen easiness. But Davis’ grace and lure, though she wasn’t completely believable as a romantic match for Teller’s Daniel, make her the one to watch. With much of the soundtrack consisting of 1980s new wave that would make John Hughes proud, the tunes are the only potential cult classic trait here. Well, that and tying everything up with a neat “love conquers all” bow. – The

a chick flick from a male point of view. But unlike successful films of this kind, such as “High Fidelity,” “Awkward Moment” unfolds like a college thesis with a big budget.

Jason (Efron) is a Manhattan pretty boy who designs book covers. He believes in having a “roster” of women and picks them up at bars and takes them home that night.

Though he occasionally calls for round two, he keeps women at a safe, commitment-free distance.

Miles Teller plays Jason’s quirky best friend, co-worker and fellow lothario, Daniel. Though he’s not as handsome as Jason, he has no problem hooking ladies with his wit and with the help of wing-woman Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). The third link in the guys’ crew is Mikey (Michael B. Jordan, “Fruitvale Station”), a doctor who married his college sweetheart at 23. He’s the voice of reason – level-headed, loyal and romantic. But when he finds out wife Vera (Jessica Lucas) is cheating on him, he can’t understand where his perfect life plan went wrong.

Determined to lift their pal’s spirits, Jason and Daniel take Mikey to a bar and encourage him to become their lady-killing cohort as they all make a pact to stay relationshipfree. Unfortunately, they all end up breaking the pact: Jason falls for sassy publisher Ellie (Imogen Poots); Daniel realizes he wants to be more than friends with Chelsea; and Mikey begins sleeping with his wife again.

Man stands up for groom’s role in wedding planning Dear Abby: Why is a wedding always about the bride?

Why is the groom often ignored and the occasion not about both of them? I find this offensive as a man who, by tradition, is supposed to “take care of her,” but is ignored as a partner in the relationship.

The whole deal about the day being about the bride is sexist, as far as I’m concerned. Television shows like “Bridezillas” make men look like idiots who have no value in a marriage. What are your thoughts? – Man Who Matters In Florida Dear Man Who Matters: These shows you refer to depend on shock value to attract and sustain an

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips audience, and some of the goings-on portrayed are so far-out as to be freakish.

Please don’t mistake reality TV for reality because nothing could be further from the truth.

Much has changed regarding marriage customs in the last decades. Traditionally, weddings were paid for by the parents of the bride. There was little monetary input from the groom’s family, and they did not expect to assist in the planning of the event. To-

day, however, many couples postpone marriage until they are older and financially independent. They pay for their own weddings and plan them as partners.

Dear Abby: I’m a senior in high school who is taking college classes already. I have told my mom I plan to become a special education teacher. I have been an aide in the special ed class for three years, and I love it.

My mother and grandmother are not supportive.

They keep trying to talk me out of going to college to do what I love. They say I should be a nurse, so I can earn better money, and they tell me I won’t be able to find a job if I become a special

ed teacher. What should I do when they keep bringing this up? – Thinking About

My Future Dear Thinking: Let me first tell you what not to do.

Do not allow yourself to be drawn into an argument over this. As much as you are thinking about your future, so are your mother and grandmother.

Because you are taking college classes, talk with a counselor at the school about the kinds of job openings available for special education teachers. Visit the library and do some research. Both would be intelligent ways to get a glimpse of what will be in store for you if you choose to go into

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff Most people with hypermobility are otherwise normal and healthy. Hypermobility can cause problems in people who dislocate their shoulder, hip or kneecap – but most people who have these dislocations are not hypermobile.

Hypermobility is usually harmless. However, there are two uncommon diseases that cause hypermobility and other more serious problems. The first, Marfan’s syndrome, leads to abnormal connective tissue including tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. People with Marfan’s syndrome can have problems involving the heart and major blood vessels, sudden collapse of the lungs, arthritis and problems with the lens and retina of the eyes. The other, EhlersDanlos syndrome, also can cause weakening of the walls of major blood vessels.

Unusual hypermobility of the joints has been described in people with chronic fatigue

syndrome. It also has been reported in people who inherit, or who develop later in life, a disorder of the mitochondria, the little “battery packs” that provide energy inside every cell in our body.

In most people, flexibility tends to decline with age. A few things may explain this age-related decrease: • Tiny injuries in tendons and ligaments that occur throughout life.

• Diminished muscle mass and tone.

• Biochemical changes that occur in connective tissues.

That’s not to say loss of flexibility is inevitable in all people as they age. Just look at some older yoga masters.

But as for those kids who could wrap their legs around their heads when they were in grade school? Chances are, if you asked them today, they wouldn’t find that trick quite so easy – unless, for some reason, they had been practicing doing it every day.

works better than name-calling and belittling. Kids are like sponges. They imitate the behavior they see the adults around them exhibit.

Effective parents teach their children by modeling behavior they want to encourage.

(No one ever said this is always easy.)

The parents you describe may be trying to relive their youth vicariously through their children. Many times, it’s not possible for the children to do as well as or better than the parents, and the result is the children end up disliking the sport.

Dear Abby: I have kids who play sports. As I sit in the stands and watch the games, I am disgusted by the negative attitudes and bad-mouthing I hear coming from the parents in the crowds.

How do parents teach good sportsmanship and compassion when the adults around them behave worse than the kids? As hard as I try, I can’t understand how grown adults can yell or call kids names at a sports event and expect these same kids to grow up with morals and values. – Sports Mom In

WISHING A HEALTHY YEAR AHEAD! McHenry Heart Institute

‘Double-jointed’ people are really hypermobile Dear Dr. K: This may be a silly question, but here goes: Do people who are “doublejointed” have twice as many joints?

Dear Reader: I can see how you might think that. If the question is silly, it’s because the medical term we use is imprecise and misleading. The term makes it sound as though “double-jointed” people have two joints in places that other people have only one, or that they have twice the normal amount of motion. Neither is true of people who are doublejointed. In fact, the vast majority of humans have the same number of bones and joints.

Remember that kid in grade school who could bend his thumb backward until it touched his wrist? Or the girl who could wrap her legs behind her head? They might have called themselves doublejointed. The correct terminology for people with greater than normal flexibility of their joints is “hypermobility.”

That simply means the joints (and surrounding structures, including ligaments and tendons) are able to bend farther than average.

Miley Cyrus wants you to concentrate on her voice – not her twerking – when she launches her tour next month.

“Ren and Stimpy” creator John Kricfalusi and contemporary artist Ben Jones have crafted videos to play during the 38 shows as Cyrus prioritizes singing over dance routines.

“When it’s such a visual show, I’m not going to get up there and dance because I’ve got to sing live,” Cyrus said in an interview Thursday night. “So it’s like to have things that people can watch other than me ... not about me trying to keep up with choreography.”

Officer investigated over Bieber photo attempt A South Florida officer is under investigation for attempting to take a photograph of Justin Bieber while he was in custody on DUI and other charges.

Miami Beach police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez confirmed Friday that a female officer is being investigated for possible conduct unbecoming an officer. Punishments can range from a verbal reprimand to termination. The officer’s name was not released.

Bieber was arrested Jan. 23 during what police describe as an illegal street drag race. In addition to driving under the influence, the 19-year-old pop singer was charged with resisting arrest and having an invalid driver’s license.

He has pleaded not guilty.

Police say the officer attempted to photograph Bieber while he was in a temporary holding cell, and a higher ranking officer intervened to stop the attempt.

Brands stand out at Super Bowl If it’s on TV, it’s on Twitter, at least when it comes to blockbuster events such as the Super Bowl.

Advertisers, in particular, are ready to capitalize.

“What advertisers have realized is that Super Bowl advertising doesn’t just take place on TV, with your 30-second or 60-second spot that you paid millions of dollars for,” said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst for research firm eMarketer. “You really need to have a broader presence.”

Last year’s Super Bowl was interrupted by a 34-minute power outage – luckily, for one advertiser at least. Oreo seized on the opportunity and tweeted “you can still dunk in the dark.” It was retweeted and mentioned on Facebook thousands of times.

Every brand wants to be this year’s Oreo. Brands are setting up social media “war rooms” so they can respond to memorable events as they happen – be it another blackout, a snowstorm or a wardrobe malfunction – with clever, retweetable quips.

Volkswagen has set up a studio in Los Angeles to create quick, catchy video responses, said Jennifer Clayton, media manager at the automaker.

There will be about a dozen people in the room, from creative and production folks to community managers in charge of monitoring chatter on social media. Once a video is shot, it’ll be sent to Volkswagen’s lawyers for approval and, within 20 minutes, posted on Twitter.

Documents: Teen planned to sell Guy Fieri’s car A Northern California teenager convicted of stealing celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini planned to sell the car and also commit a jewelry heist, according to court documents.

Investigators found a sales contract for the Lamborghini in a locker Max Wade kept, according to a Marin County probation report released this week. Wade told probation officers he stole the car after rappelling from the roof of a San Francisco car dealership in March 2011.

The contract indicated that the 19-year-old planned to sell the car for $201,500 by shipping it from the Port of

Oakland to a dealership in the Dominican Republic.

The shipping contract also carried the signature of Wade’s alias, “Carmine Leone Colombo,” an apparent reference to the New York mob family, according to the probation report, which was prepared before Wade was sentenced to life in prison Jan. 23.

Renee Fleming plans to sing national anthem live Renee Fleming says she only knows how to sing the national anthem one way: live.

The 53-year-old opera singer will perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Sunday’s Super Bowl. She said in an interview Thursday she won’t sing to a prerecorded track and that she “wouldn’t know how to lip-sync if you paid me.”

“It would be a disaster. I only know how to sing live,” said the singer, known as “The People’s Diva.”

Some artists choose to lip-sync, especially in cold weather. Whitney Houston’s unforgettable performance of the national anthem in 1991 at the Super Bowl was sung to a track, and Beyoncé did the same at President Barack Obama’s Inauguration last year.

But Fleming promises it will be entirely real when she walks onto the field at MetLife Stadium, where the Seattle Seahawks will play the Denver Broncos. She’ll be singing along to an arrangement from the New Jersey Symphony and have 32 military singers from all the service branches as backup.

Fleming, who has performed around the world and serenaded Queen Elizabeth and Obama, will be the first opera singer to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Goodell speaks, doesn’t say much For as long as there have been Super Bowls, the NFL commissioner has met with the assembled media on the Friday before the game.

Back when I first started in the Stone Age, it’d be myself and a few hundred other ink-stained wretches from around the country getting together with Pete Rozelle in the ballroom of the hotel we were all staying in.

Not much has changed over the Roger decades other Goodell than the passing of the torch from Rozelle to Paul Tagliabue to Roger Goodell, and the explosion in the number of media with the addition of all our electronic broadcast and digital friends.

As the media numbers have swelled from a couple hundred to a couple thousand, team owners and front office personnel have also flocked to the event.

It is now known as the commissioner’s “State of the League” address and has become the second biggest event of Super Bowl week trailing only the game itself.

Goodell is very good with the media. Like Rozelle, he has some background in public relations.

But, back in the day, the biggest single vehicle to promote the game was the free print media, and the commissioner needed to feed the beast.

Today the NFL is a $10 billion industry, growing rapidly and wildly profitable.

The NFL still respects the media, but the media needs it more than the league needs the media. Real answers to hard questions are nonexistent.

Predictably, the majority of the questioning Friday morning was about the New York experience and the future, if any, of cold weather Super Bowls.

Goodell continued to strongly defend the decision to hold this Super Bowl in New York and talk about what a great experience he thinks it’s been. But the Commissioner was 100 percent non-committal about the possibility of another “cold weather” Super Bowl.

Equally surprising was the fact there wasn’t a single question asked about officiating.

Goodell was asked about possible changes in instant replay – questions that he dodged – but nothing about the officials.

The commissioner spoke about how thrilled he was that all three games to be played in London in 2014 are already sold out, but said he had no idea what the NFL’s next push into Great Britain and Europe might be.

Boys basketball win follows Harvard girls hoops, wrestling victories

News sent to your phone

pmason@shawmedia.com HARVARD – By the time the Marengo and Harvard boys basketball teams took the court, the Castle Challenge had belonged to the Hornets.

Already winning in girls basketball and wrestling earlier in the day, the home crowd all but had their brooms out hoping for a sweep. But the Indians handled the pressure and noise better early on and held on for a 54-45 Big Northern Conference East Division victory.

“We talked about enjoying the atmosphere,” Indians coach

Text the keyword NWHPREPS to 74574 for high school sports text alerts from the Northwest Herald. Message and data rates apply.

Will Benson said, “but ignoring the noise. All of the adrenaline is great, but after the first two minutes it comes down to executing.”

Like fans at Wrigley Field throwing a home run ball back onto the field, the Marengo student section threw a shirt back to the hardwood that was thrown into the crowd by the Harvard cheerleaders moments earlier. Both groups

of fans got louder.

But through the noise, the Indians (11-8 overall, 2-2 BNC East) took an 8-4 lead by the end of the first quarter after taking advantage of six Harvard turnovers.

Marengo continued to score in the second quarter but couldn’t slow down Justin Nolen. The Hornets guard caught fire and scored 12 of his teams 15 second-quarter points, bringing the score within 21-19 at halftime. Nolen finished with 24 points.

“The energy level was so high and it’s one of those things where you just need to go up and down the floor five or six times and it goes away,” Harvard coach Don-

nie Nolen said. “I was really proud of the way we came back.”

Harvard (7-13, 2-3) relied on Nolen’s hot hand and points from Tate Miller to tied the score at 34 entering the third quarter but Marengo pulled away as the Indians dominated the boards and controlled the ball.

The Indians scored 20 points in the fourth quarter and held Harvard to only two points for the first five minutes of the quarter.

Weston Shepard led the Indians with 24 points and went 8 of 10 from the free-throw line to close out the game.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 47, PRAIRIE RIDGE 42

Ali Andrews’ scoring surge rallies Raiders

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Prairie Ridge girls basketball team used almost every defensive tactic and trick it knew in hopes of finding a way to stop Huntley.

For a little more than one half, the Wolves’ strategy of using unique defenses, including a 1-3-1 zone, triangle-and-2 and box-and-1, worked. In a game that held Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title implications, the Wolves built a six-point lead midway

Video online Watch highlights of Friday’s Huntley vs. Prairie Ridge girls basketball game at McHenryCountySports.com. through third quarter Friday against the Red Raiders and their unblemished division record.

The deficit didn’t faze the experienced Red Raiders, however, and the Wolves suddenly had no answer for sophomore forward Ali Andrews.

With the score tied at 25 in the third,

Andrews scored Huntley’s next 15 points. It was the offensive boost the Red Raiders needed to take the lead, and they held on for a 47-42 FVC Valley win.

Andrews finished with a game-high 22 points, 19 of which came in the second half. The win gives Huntley (18-3 overall, 8-0 FVC Valley) a two-game division lead on Prairie Ridge (15-8, 8-2) with four division games remaining.

“I knew I had to keep going hard at it and look for the open shots and teammates,” Andrews said. “We knew they were going to come at us hard be-

cause we were their target to beat. We just had to play our game and make sure we were patient.”

Prairie Ridge stymied Huntley’s offense in the first half, limiting the Red Raiders to only 11 points. The Wolves constantly changed defenses and focused on shutting down Sam and Ali Andrews. Together, they were limited to three first-half points – all of which came on a 3-pointer by Ali Andrews that tied the game at 5 late in the first quarter.

MARIAN CENTRAL FOOTBALL

RB Lee commits to play for Penn

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com All along, Marian Central running back Ephraim Lee felt the pull from the Ivy League.

Heading into the football season, Lee had Harvard and Yale at the top of his list for prospective colleges, but it’s another Ivy League school that will get Lee’s services for football.

Lee committed this week to attend the University of Pennsylvania and play for the NCAA Division I Quakers. Lee chose Penn over D-II Augustana (S.D.) College.

“I liked the campus and the coaching staff,” Lee said. “It’s close

to the city, and their football program is one of the best.”

Lee ran for 1,166 yards and 20 touchdowns last season and was a Northwest Herald All-Area firstteam selection. He also caught 21 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns.

As a junior, Lee ran for 1,323 yards and 15 touchdowns and was an All-Area second-team pick.

Lee (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) visited Augustana first and received a scholarship offer. Ivy League schools cannot offer athletic scholarships, but Lee still wanted the highest education available.

“I’m very excited. The college process has been very challeng-

ing at times, but I’m glad I found a school that I liked a lot and a school that fits me and is best for me,” Lee said. “It’s a great feeling and a relief. I’m very excited to go to an Ivy League and play football there as well.”

Penn was 4-6 last season, but the Quakers won the Ivy League title in 2009, 2010 and 2012. Lee, who is undecided on his major field, hopes to compete for playing time as a freshman.

“They don’t redshirt you as freshman, unless you get hurt,” Lee said. “They put the best players on the field is what they do, so if you’re Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com a freshman and you’re good, you’re Marian Central’s Ephraim Lee carries the ball Oct. 11 against Montini in Lombard.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CARY-GROVE 63, McHENRY 35

C-G runs off with FVC Valley win Trojans outscore Warriors by 28 after halftime

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com CARY – When his Cary-Grove girls basketball team has struggled this season, coach Rod Saffert has pleaded with the Trojans to not be so robotic.

Just play, he tells them, insisting that if they do, the rest will take care of itself.

So after C-G spent the first half of Friday night’s Fox Valley Conference

Valley Division game against McHenry fighting to overcome 16 minutes of cold shooting, Saffert repeated the message, hoping things would change in the third quarter.

The Trojans listened and quickly turned a game that was tied at halftime into a 63-35 runaway victory.

The difference? A third-quarter surge when C-G outscored the Warriors 17-4 to pull ahead for good.

“We just started knocking down our shots, and I think that was a big difference-maker for us,” said guard Katie Barker, who scored 17 of her gamehigh 22 points in the second half.

The Trojans (14-10, 5-5 FVC Valley) took advantage of the defensive pressure McHenry put on Barker. Sarah Kendeigh (11 points) and Abby Jakubicek (10 points) took advantage and bal-

anced out the Trojans’ offense, which pushed their lead to 20 points just more than two minutes into the fourth quarter.

“That was big – we’ve been working on [spreading out the offense] because we figure people will double-team Katie,” Jakubicek said. “So, the fact that our hard work paid off was really nice.”

The Warriors, who were led by Sawyer Lay’s seven points, couldn’t keep pace.

For McHenry (9-15, 1-7), which remained even with C-G during the first half by hitting 5-of-7 3-point attempts, the eight minutes following the half turned to a difference-maker.

“We stopped playing defense,” Warriors coach Scott Morris said. “We were right there in the game, but that third quarter has just been our Achil-

les’ heel all year. We lose intensity and we don’t come out come out the same way we do before halftime and it showed.”

Once the Trojans started rolling offensively, they didn’t stop. After being locked down defensively in the first half, Barker started hitting from the perimeter. The junior hit three 3-point field goals – including one at the third-quarter buzzer that gave C-G a commanding 42-29 lead.

Finally, Saffert witnessed the kind of basketball he knows his team was capable of playing.

“I told my girls, ‘We’re playing basketball now,’ Saffert said. “Instead of being robots, we were finding the open girls, making the right cuts, making the right reads. It’s a much more fun game when you do that.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: GRAYSLAKE CENTRAL 61, JOHNSBURG 51

Skyhawks’ rally comes up short

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Despite all the missed shots and a huge rebounding disadvantage, Johnsburg played some inspired minutes to start the third quarter, fought out of a hole and appeared ready to push Grayslake Central to the end.

The Skyhawks could not sustain that level.

Eventually, Grayslake Central got back to pounding the boards, led by double digits most of the fourth quarter and put Johnsburg away, 6151, in their Fox Valley Conference Fox Division game Friday night.

Johnsburg (5-15 overall, 2-4 FVC Fox) tied the score at 31-31 with 4:01 remaining in the third quarter, erasing Grayslake Central’s seven-point lead. Steve Dixon and Collin Ridout both hit 3-pointers and sophomore Tanner Kreassig hit the boards hard inside and scored off a pair of assists from Ridout.

“I just always try to play my hardest and try to spark something, hustle for every loose ball, do what I can,” said Kreassig, a 6-foot-1 forward. “I thought we were going to take over, but it didn’t go our way. We could have

finished stronger.”

The Rams (10-7, 6-0) built their lead to 39-33 when Ridout, who had just gone to the bench, was assessed a technical foul for something he said that an official heard.

Skyhawks coach Mike Toussaint left his point guard and second-leading scorer on the bench the rest of the game.

“It was uncalled for and he didn’t need to go back in the game,” Toussaint said.

“What he did was a bad thing for the team and him not being on the floor is not a good thing for the team either. It was a discipline thing.”

Johnsburg had the ball with a chance to cut the lead to four when the technical was called. The Rams’ Malcolm Reed made both free throws and they scored on the ensuing possession for a 10-point lead.

“We didn’t stop believing [to get it tied] and we were really excited,” said Dixon, who hit three 3s and finished with 14 points. “We all worked hard together and had a lot of momentum going. We made a lot of stupid decisions on defense, fouls, and they executed well and we couldn’t match it on the other side.”

Ridout finished with a game-high 16 points and two 3s.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MARMION 68, MARIAN CENTRAL 57

Sluggish start bites Hurricanes in loss

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A clear lesson emerged Friday in Marian Central’s loss to Marmion.

Make too many mistakes early, and a good chance exists that you’ll regret them later.

That’s what happened as Marmion jumped out to a 17-2 lead to start the game and held on for a 68-57 win in Suburban Christian Conference Blue Division action. The Hurricanes (9-14, 2-3 SCC Blue) sliced the deficit to one point in the second quarter but could not overcome their early struggles against the Cadets (10-11, 3-2).

Marian Central coach Curtis Price said his team’s cold start on offense affected its defense.

“You can’t bury yourself like that,” Price said. “We can’t come out and miss easy shots. We missed easy shots and we got frustrated, and instead of us moving on to the next defensive series, we thought about that miss and we didn’t get back in our transition defense enough.”

The Hurricanes hung tough thanks in large part to the backcourt tandem of Adam Pischke (18 points) and Derreck Caldez (10 points), whose 3-point basket late in

the second quarter cut Marmion’s lead to 24-23. Also helping Marian was forward Nick Waytula, who came off of the bench to score 13 points, plus six points apiece from Ben Schnepf and Matt Ricchuito.

“I liked the fact that Waytula came off of the bench and gave us a lot of energy,” Price said. “I like the fact that even though we got down 17-2, we didn’t quit. We kept fighting back.

“Even in the third and fourth quarters when we couldn’t make a shot and we couldn’t get anything going, we never gave up. Hopefully, the next game, these shots will fall. If we make those shots early on, who knows where this game is at?”

Waytula said he and his teammates would bounce back from a difficult loss.

“I definitely like where this team is at,” Waytula said.

“We’ve made a huge progression from the beginning of the season, and I expect to finish strong for the rest of the season.”

Marmion coach Ryan Paradise said he was proud of his group’s effort against a physical Marian team. The Cadets were led in scoring by senior guard Michael Sheehan, who hit four 3-pointers and finished with 20 points.

Marengo junior Rachel Tautges (left) and Harvard senior Abby Linhart fight for a loose ball in the first quarter Friday in Harvard. Harvard won, 43-41.

Harvard wrestlers win 9 matches • CHALLENGE Continued from page C1 “Weston only made one mistake tonight,” Benson said. “Other than that errant pass, he played an outstanding game.”

WRESTLING The Harvard wrestling team won nine matches en route to a 50-24 win over Marengo at the Castle Challenge at Harvard.

The Hornets divide the season into thirds and approach each one as a new season.

Now in the final third, the Hornets want to end strong and the win over Marengo certainly helped.

Christian Kramer had a quick win for Harvard at 145 pounds, defeating Brett McMackin by fall in 39 seconds.

“I just try to go out and focus each time and do what I need to do to win,” said Kramer while signing a team poster for fans after the meet.

Harvard controlled the meet from the start but

Marengo made it interesting with several pins including one from Cory Graham at 126.

Graham pinned Joe Quinn in 3:22 to a loud ovation from his teammates.

Graham has lost only six times this season.

“I was doing a little showboating at the end,” Graham said with a smile. “My goal is to win state and each opportunity to move closer to that goal, I have to grab.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL Marengo coach Nick Rode believes that, in close games, players learn the most and the Indians certainly made it close at the end in a 43-41 loss in the first of the three-sport Castle Challenge at Harvard.

Down by 10 points for most of the first half, the Indians (4-18 overall, 2-4 Big Northern Conference East Division) chipped away at the double-digit deficit and had an opportunity to tie or take the lead with the last shot but had it blocked by Harvard guard Makenna Powell.

“I was really proud that

the girls gave their most amount of energy when they should’ve had the least amount there at the end,” Rode said.

“We’ve been on the winning side and now we’re taking our turn on the other end,” Rode continued.

Lynsey Hoeske and Rachel Tautges each scored 14 points to lead Marengo.

The Hornets jumped out to an early lead behind Abby Linhart’s seven first-half points. She finished with a team-high 13. While pacing the Hornets offensively, she proved to be a factor on the glass as she extended possessions with offensive rebounds and helped turn the ball up court after a defensive board.

“I don’t really think about what I’m doing too much I just play basketball,” Linhart said. But in the last five minutes I start to worry and watch the score. We were so nervous but that last block sealed a huge win.”

For the Hornets (2-13, 1-5), the win was their first in BNC East play.

Zornow’s 3-pointers help Huntley • HUNTLEY Continued from page C1 “[Prairie Ridge] flat out out-played us in the first half, getting to every loose ball, defended better and ran a more efficient offense,” Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. “We just went in to halftime and said we need to regroup and do a better job of slowing down and recognize what they’re doing to us defensively.”

Despite scoring 15 first-half points, Prairie Ridge moved the ball well on offense to find open shots. Senior guard Sarah Le Beau led Prairie Ridge

with 13 points and senior center Maddie Drain scored nine.

Both teams were forced to work around foul trouble to a key player in the first half. The Red Raiders had to play without one of their best defenders, senior guard Bethany Zornow, who sat most of the half with two fouls, while the Wolves’ Drain picked up her third foul midway through the second quarter.

Zornow and Drain still had a big impact despite the lingering foul trouble. Zornow, who often guarded Le Beau, made two 3-pointers in the third quarter that helped Huntley’s

comeback and Drain scored seven second-half points.

Huntley finished with four 3-pointers in the third quarter, which prevented Prairie Ridge from continuing to pack in the paint to try and limit Ali Andrews’ touches.

“You know when [defensively] you’re trying to trick a good team, it’s not going to last,” Prairie Ridge coach Rob Baker said. “At some point they’re going to figure out what you’re doing and find the weak spots and they did. ... I can’t fault my kids’ effort at all. They played hard. They gave everything they’ve got.”

8INSIDE WRESTLING Athlete of the Week ERIC BARONE Crystal Lake South, sr.

Barone (30-4) won the Oak Park-River Forest Invitational on Jan. 25 at 145 pounds. In the finals, Barone defeated Lyons’ Johnny Mologousis, 8-1. Barone also had a big win against McHenry on Jan. 23 to help the Gators win the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title.

Noteworthy McHenry wrestlers lead after Day 1 of FVC meet: After the first day of the Fox Valley Conference wrestling meet, the team scores are stacked at the top with host McHenry holding a slight edge with 88.5 points on Crystal Lake Central and Crystal Lake South, which both have 84.

McHenry and Central have eight wrestlers apiece in the semifinals Saturday and South has six.

Dundee-Crown with 75 points, Huntley (71) and Cary-Grove (70) round out the top six teams.

McHenry coach Will Gaddy said it’s not going be easy to maintain the lead.

“We’ve got to get at least half of [the semifinalists] through,” Gaddy said. “We’ve got some tough matches.”

Because of the expected snow Saturday, an extra round of wrestling took place Friday. The finals are expected to start at noon Saturday.

Heavier and happier: CaryGrove’s Mike Cullen has bumped up from 113 pounds to wrestle 120 at the FVC Tournament at McHenry. Cullen said he felt better physically and mentally at the heavier weight.

“At 120, I don’t have to focus that much on weight,” Cullen said. “Physically, I’m not drained.

He said cutting weight has given him trouble in long matches and tournaments where he has struggled in the third period. Cullen is hoping the extra weight and strength gives him an edge.

“At 120, I don’t see that happening that much,” Cullen said of losing power. “At 120, I’m able to work a lot more offense.”

Wounded Warriors: McHenry coach Will Gaddy is hoping to get two of his top wrestlers back from injury for regionals in a week. Cam Pait at 160 and Luis Hernandez at 220 are not wrestling at the conference tournament.

Both are ranked by Illinoismatmen.com, Pait at No. 11 and Hernandez, who is undefeated this season, at No. 8.

Hernandez said, despite missing time because of injury, his focus hasn’t changed.

“I have the same goals. I want to win state,” Hernandez said.

The NCAA did away with hand-checking, two-hand touching and arm barring this season in an effort to speed up the game and increase scoring.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Going with the flow Scoring up, pace of games better after rules changes

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press PHOENIX – College basketball had become a wrestling match, bogged down by grabbing, pushing and the occasional takedown.

Scoring was down, shooting percentages, too, and the games often had the flow of rush-hour traffic.

Hoping to open the game back up, the NCAA tweaked its rules this season, the emphasis on preventing defenders from impeding offensive players’ progress with hand checking and arm barring.

After an initial adjustment period filled with hard-to-watch games, the new rules seem to be having the desired effect, increasing scoring while giving the games better offensive continuity.

“We’re very encouraged,” NCAA Division I basketball committee chairman Ron Wellman said. “If you look at every offensive statistic, they have improved this year, and that’s a result of the new interpretation of the rules or the enforcement of the freedom of movement principles.”

The changes were put in place after scoring in Division I basketball dropped to 67.5 points a game in 2012-13, the lowest since 195152 – long before the shot clock and 3-point shot were added. It was the fourth straight season it had decreased.

Shooting percentages and assists were down, and 3-point shooting was the lowest since the arc was added in 1986.

With the number of foul calls

also in decline, the NCAA looked at altering its rules in an attempt to decrease physical play.

No more hand-checking, two hands on an opponent, arm bars or jabbing.

There also was a big change in the block-charge call, requiring the defender to be in place before the offensive player has started his upward motion to attempt a shot or pass. Previously, the defender had to be in defensive position before the offensive player was lifting off the floor.

The new rules weren’t exactly new; most had already been in place, but weren’t carried out to the letter of the law.

What the NCAA did was ask officials to pay more attention to those calls to free up the game.

The new emphasis had the potential to be the biggest change in college basketball since the addition of the 3-point shot.

Well, the shift hasn’t been quite that dramatic.

After an initial feeling-out period, coaches and players adjusted to the way games were being called and the game has become more free-flowing.

Scoring so far this season is up nearly four points a game from 201213 to 71.4, according to the basketball analytics website KPI Sports.

Shooting percentages in Division I also are up slightly, from 43.3 to 43.9 percent this season.

Of course, fouls are up, too, from 17.7 a game to 19.4, but the consensus seems to be that the new rules have, for the most part, cleaned up

the game.

“In the end, open movement offensively is better for our game,” Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said. “That’s what people want to see. They don’t want to see guys getting chucked and bumped all the time. They want to see offensive players showcasing their talent and this is what the rules are designed to do.”

With drastic changes like this, there certainly was an adjustment period.

Players today had been taught pretty much their entire lives that hand checking, arm barring and putting two hands on an opposing player were the ways to play defense.

The new rules took all of that away, requiring players to move their feet to get in front of their man, which proved to be a difficult challenge early in the season.

Despite spending the summer and preseason working on playing the new style of defense, some teams struggled with the new concept and the whistles blew over and over again for the first month or so.

After that initial feeling-out – fouling-out? – period teams adapted to the way the games were being called and the flow came back.

Last season, two teams averaged 80 or more points and 25 averaged 75 or more. This season, there are 25 teams at 80 or better and 99 scoring 75 points or more.

“I think it’s cleaned up the game,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “We’re going back to what the game should be.”

AUBURN, Ala. – Former Auburn and LPGA player Danielle Downey died in a single-car accident. She was 33.

Downey lost control on Lee Road 57, the car overturned several times and she was ejected at about 10 p.m. local time Thursday, Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said Friday. Harris said she was apparently heading home after spending time with friends and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

Downey was in her second season as Auburn’s director of golf operations. She filled in for coach Kim Evans during the 2012-13 season after Evans was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

“I’m absolutely devastated,” Evans said. “Danielle meant so much to me, the girls and this program.”

Mickelson makes weekend SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Phil Mickelson made it to the weekend in the Phoenix Open.

A week after withdrawing from Torrey Pines because of back pain, Mickelson shot a 4-under-par 67 in his afternoon round Friday at cool and breezy TPC Scottsdale.

The defending champion was eight strokes behind leaders Bubba Watson and Matt Jones.

Watson followed his opening 64 with a 66 to reach 12 under.

McIlroy keeps Dubai lead DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Rory McIlroy hit a wedge into 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole for a 2-under-par 70 to regain the outright lead in the Dubai Desert Classic.

Brooks Koepka shot a 65 that left him one shot behind McIlroy going into the weekend.

Tiger Woods, meanwhile, hit only four fairways and had to rely on some key putts to salvage a 73. He was in a tie for 44th, eight shots out of the lead.

Rangers hits leader Young back in Texas to retire ARLINGTON, Texas – Michael Young is retiring after only one season away from the Texas Rangers. Young formally announced his retirement Friday at Rangers Ballpark.

The seven-time All-Star is the Rangers’ career leader with 2,230 hits. The 37-year-old Young finished as a career .300 hitter in 1,970 games for Texas, Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Texas traded Young last winter to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Playing for Lovie entices Tillman CB would prefer to stay with Bears

By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com

Mason Tvert (right) spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, prepares to deliver a petition to NFL headquarters Wednesday in New York.

Kevin Fitzgerald (left) director of building security, waits for the handoff. Tvert’s organization is asking the NFL to allow its players to use marijuana in states where it is legal to do so.

8VIEWS / BY PAUL NEWBERRY

Time to end pot testing NEW YORK – Jermaine Kearse smiled before the question was even finished.

Should the NFL – and all professional leagues, for that matter – stop testing players for marijuana?

“Awww, man, why do you have to put me on the spot like that?” the Seattle Seahawks receiver griped.

Persuaded this wasn’t one of those gotcha moments during Super Bowl week, Kearse tepidly came up with a reply.

“Whatever is best for the players,” he said.

The best thing for players in every league, be it the NFL, NBA, NHL or Major League Baseball, would be to remove pot from the list of banned substances. No one should ever have to endure what Seattle cornerback Brandon Browner is going through.

Instead of playing in the biggest game of his life, he’s stuck at home, forced to watch the game on TV like most everyone else, because of a positive test for marijuana. Since he had also tested positive as a rookie in 2005, not to mention some issues over whether he should have continued to be tested even when he wasn’t employed by an NFL team, Browner is suspended indefinitely and could wind up missing a full season.

“If marijuana is legal in some states, I don’t understand how an employer has the right to control what an employee does after working hours,” said Peter Schaffer, Browner’s agent. “It’s just not right.”

No, it’s not.

The NFL Players Association needs to get crackin’ on this issue right away, even as it tries to reach agreement with the league on a matter that has gotten far more attention: testing for human growth hormone, a performance enhancing drug that is difficult to detect.

As it stands now, pot is lumped with cocaine, meth, opiates and PCP as a banned “substance of abuse,” even though there’s no evidence to suggest that it’s nearly as harmful as those more powerful drugs. In fact, proponents of legalizing marijuana will insist that it causes fewer problems than booze, and they make

“If marijuana is legal in some states, I don’t understand how an employer has the right to control what an employee does after working hours.”

Peter Schaffer Agent for Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner, who is suspended indeinitely for a positive marijuana test a pretty compelling case.

In the NFL, the first positive test for any of those drugs requires a player to enter the league’s treatment program. Subsequent violations result in a fine and then a four-game suspension.

The NBA’s policy on marijuana is similar: treatment after the first positive test, a $25,000 fine if it happens again, a five-game suspension for the third violation.

The NHL’s policy is a bit murky, with league and union officials giving conflicting answers over possible penalties for marijuana use. Essentially, it seems, if a hockey player has “dangerously high levels” of pot in his system during testing – whatever that means – he is placed in the league’s substance-abuse program.

The guidelines in baseball are the most convoluted of all, setting different standards for major and minor leaguers. For those on the 40-man roster, the use of marijuana, hashish and synthetic THC is not subject to a suspension, and there have been no announced penalties of any kind for pot use since the Joint Drug Agreement went into effect more than a decade ago. For those with minor-league contracts, a second positive test brings a 50-day suspension, a third violation results in a 100-game ban, and a fourth gets you kicked out of the game for good.

The issue of legalizing marijuana has come to the forefront since Colorado and Washington took that very step, and the Super Bowl has become a convenient conduit for those on both sides of the issue since the AFC

champion Denver Broncos and NFC champion Seahawks come from those states. Not far from MetLife Stadium, dueling billboards were put up by supporters and opponents of legalization.

Some have dubbed it “The Stoner Bowl,” and even NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has some fun with the issue.

“What kind of joint is this?” he joked at his state-of-the-players-union news conference.

But there are serious issues that need to be addressed, especially when it comes to studying the medicinal uses of marijuana. There are many who believe it can help players cope with pain in the short term and better deal with the long-range effects of their brutal game.

To his credit, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the league could consider marijuana as a possible treatment for concussions if there’s science to back it up.

“These guys are hurting; they’re in pain,” Schaffer said. “They go through 60 or 70 train wrecks every Sunday.”

While most players dodged marijuana questions during Super Bowl week – even the outspoken Richard Sherman – Schaffer has no doubt that a majority would be in favor of dumping pot from the testing program. In fact, he believes that might be a way to break the stalemate over HGH testing – the players could sign off on the league’s proposed policy in exchange for removing marijuana as a banned substance.

Former NFL player Brendon Ayanbadejo – best known for his support of gay marriage – said he knew of teammates smoking marijuana right in the hotel before one of his Super Bowls.

Most telling, he sounded like it was no big deal.

“I would much rather have my teammates smoking weed,” Ayanbadejo wrote on Twitter, “than popping highly addictive narcotics!”

In response to a question about a recent study that says concussions were down 13 percent in the NFL, a surprising finding considering all the increased scrutiny, Goodell said it was because of changes in the rules and the culture in the NFL, an answer met with great skepticism by many in the room.

NEW YORK – Acknowledging the allure of playing for his former coach, Charles Tillman said Friday he’s “open to all teams” if he can’t re-sign with the Bears.

The Buccaneers hired former Bears coach Lovie Smith last month.

“Obviously, Charles it makes the deal Tillman probably a little sweeter just because it’s a former head coach,” said Tillman, a free agent this offseason. “You do know the system, you know the scheme.

“I think it helps it from a standpoint that it’s a former coach, a guy that you liked, a guy that you’d been with for 10 years. It’s cool.

“But it’s free agency. I’m open to whoever.”

The cornerback hasn’t talked to Smith about his future but predicted the Buccaneers’ defense would “eventually lead the league in turnovers” with the coach’s tutelage.

Tillman disagreed with Brian Urlacher’s assertion this week the Bears were trying to purge Smith’s players.

“I think Lovie just has the opportunity to possibly pick up some other guys, because he’s the head coach in Tampa,” Tillman said Friday. “I think it’s just a timing issue.”

Whether Tillman leaves the only team he’s ever known – for the Buccaneers or anyone else – is a different question.

He wants to stay in Chicago.

“You know, whatever happens, there will be no bad blood [with the Bears],” he said. “I do not think there will be any bad blood.

“I know there won’t be anything bad.”

He reaffirmed his desire to retire a Bear; if he goes elsewhere this offseason, Tillman could always sign a ceremonial contract with Chicago at the end of his career.

Tillman compared that sce-

nario to the one used by Richard Dent, who was embraced by the Bears despite playing for the 49ers, Colts and Eagles at the end of his career.

Tillman goes to Halas Hall nearly every day – “Everybody’s happy,” he said – and speaks regularly with coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery.

“I’m just trying to make the best decision, and hopefully the Bears do, too,” he said. “If I get to free agency, so be it. If I don’t, so be it. It’s nothing personal.

“It’s a business. It’s a process.”

His connection to Chicago extended Friday to the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, given to the NFL player best exemplifying on-field performance and off-the-field charity. For the second time in his career, Tillman is one of three finalists. The winner will be announced Saturday.

He said playing in Chicago and knowing “what the Walter Payton legacy is” makes the award that much more special.

In addition to his Chicago charities, Tillman has helped build a school in Cambodia.

“It’s not about actually receiving the award,” he said.

“We don’t do this to get recognition or do this to be in the paper.

“We do this because we want to.”

The two-time Pro Bowler said he was happy for teammate and fellow cornerback Tim Jennings, who signed a four-year deal in January that could be worth $22.4 million.

Tillman said Jennings’ deal didn’t change the equation on whether he’d re-sign.

“I’m always happy for players to get money,” he said. “The life expectancy of playing in the NFL is only three years. So for a guy to get a good payday – for anybody – I’m happy for them.

“It’s hard to get to this level.

“You want to see everyone get that big payday, and it doesn’t work all the time.

“I’ve seen some guys fall short of that.

“Any time a guy can get a big payday, kudos to him.”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell speaks Friday at a news conference in New York.

“We’re not here to start no trouble. We’re just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.”

Almost 30 years after they rapped “The Super Bowl Shuffle,” six players who participated in the Grammy-nominated video that punctuated the Bears’ 1985 Super Bowl season have filed a lawsuit to ensure that it is used for the “charitable purposes” for which it was intended. Being sued are Julia Meyer, who owns the rights to the song, and Renaissance Marketing Corporation, which licenses it.

Hall of Famer Richard Dent along with Jim McMahon, Otis Wilson, Willie Gault, Mike Richardson and Steve Fuller are the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which was filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court.

“The lawsuit provides that an im-

portant and stated objective of ‘The Super Bowl Shuffle’ when it was produced in 1985, was to give back to Chicago’s neediest families,” said Walid J. Tamari, an attorney from Tamari Law Group, LLC that is representing the players. “Among other things, the plaintiffs seek that a constructive trust be established for charitable purposes that they select in order to continue ‘The Super Bowl Shuffle’s’ charitable objective.”

Indeed, Walter Payton rapped in the song, “We’re not doing this because we’re greedy. The Bears are doin’ it to feed the needy.”

Reportedly, more than $300,000 was donated to Chicago-area shelters after the video was released.

“The Super Bowl Shuffle” was released in September 1985 as the Bears were just picking up steam toward a dominant season that culminated with the 46-10 rout of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX.

BULLS

Gibson on trading block?

Forward could be most valuable bargaining chip Next for the Bulls

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com NEW ORLEANS – No one is safe.

And for a team with big dreams for their roster moving forward, no one on the Bulls roster should be.

That’s what the Luol Deng trade to Cleveland last month symbolized to his former teammates. If Deng could go, well, rent in Chicago, don’t buy.

“I’ve always kind of had that [mentality],’’ veteran guard Kirk Hinrich said Friday. “From the first time that I started hearing rumors it really made clear that the possibility of being moved is there. You just try and do the best you can with the situation you’re in.

“But enjoy this. Enjoy the situation we’re in right now moving forward because it’s exciting. Just try not to worry about things you can’t control.’’

Hard to do with the calendar now being flipped, and the Feb. 20 trade deadline bearing down on the Association. Specifically, on the team playing at 1901 W. Madison St. And while Hinrich and Mike Dunleavy have been churning in the trade rumor mill for more than a month, Taj Gibson’s name is the one that is picking up, and could determine how serious the Bulls are in clearing space for a max contract to land the likes of a Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James.

Bulls at New Orleans, 7 p.m.

Saturday, WGN, AM-1000

According to a source, the Lakers, Wizards and Bobcats have each inquired about Gibson, but they were preliminary talks in which the Bulls did not like the return.

If they do move Gibson, however, it will definitely signify how determined the Bulls are to give Derrick Rose a second superstar to play along with.

With Carlos Boozer and his 2014-15 $16.8 million contract likely amnestied this summer, moving Gibson is all but a necessity if the Bulls want to stay under the luxury tax and add a max deal. Gibson will make $8 million next season, $8.5 million in the 2015-16 season, and $8.95 million in his final year of the deal.

While Anthony told the Sun-Times this week that he hasn’t put any thought into joining the Bulls, there are basketball executives who think differently, as ESPN reported Thursday.

But to land Anthony or James, it

will cost the Bulls Gibson, and it is a growing possibility in the next three weeks.

Coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday that all is quiet in his talks with general manager Gar Forman and VP of basketball operations John Paxson, but then again, all was quiet before Deng was moved, as well.

“The way that works is this, when something gets close or they think there’s something there that makes sense they’ll come to me,’’ Thibodeau said. “Every conversation that they’re having I don’t know about nor do I want to know about. I think it’s important for me to be focused on the guys we do have.

“This time of year that’s all normal. We’re going to get calls because we have good players. We have to take those calls because we have to weigh if something makes sense, if something doesn’t. Then if they think it makes sense they’ll get my opinion on it, and that’s all I can ask for.’’

What Hinrich is asking for is to let this current roster ride this thing out.

The Bulls went 11-4 in January, and have been playing their best basketball with February starting.

“Yeah, I would like to see this [stay together],’’ Hinrich said. “We’re coming off a very good month, and it’s something I would like to see how far we could keep it going.’’

BLACKHAWKS

BULLS NOTES

Hawks can count on ‘Hammer’

Rose may be ahead of schedule with rehab

By SETH GRUEN sgruen@suntimes.com LAS VEGAS – Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson often can go unnoticed playing behind the team’s top pairing of Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith.

But even as the team struggled in January, Hjalmarsson remained one of the Hawks’ most dependable players.

He easily would be in the top defensive pair on Next many NHL teams.

Hawks at San “Hammer Jose, 9:30 p.m. is always Saturday, CSN, very consisNHLN, AM-720 tent in his game,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “I [have] thought it’s always a good trait to measure a defenseman by his predictability game in, game out.

That’s Hammer.”

Talk to Hawks players and coaches, and you’ll hear more often than not that Hjalmarsson made the smart play, not the wrong play.

But don’t mistake his “predictability” for cautiousness.

Hjalmarsson, who will play for Sweden in the Sochi Olympics, has looked to be more assertive in the offensive zone.

He already has tied his career-high with four goals this season and has a career-best 19 assists.

Hjalmarsson also is tied for the league lead in shorthanded points with four. He leads all defenseman in that category, having tallied a goal and three assists.

“I’m trying to make more plays this year. I’m just trying to be more comfortable with the puck and trying to get more shots on goal, and if you can do that, you’ll be rewarded,” Hjalmarsson said.

His play in the defensive zone hasn’t suffered as a result. He wouldn’t be getting the accolades from Quenneville if that were the case.

In the Hawks’ 5-2 victory Wednesday over the Canucks, Hjalmarsson led the team with six blocked shots. He also logged the second-most ice time for the Hawks, playing 22:48. Keith was first at 25:36.

Hjalmarsson said playing with defensive partner Johnny Oduya, also his teammate on Sweden’s Olympic team, and the high praise from Quenneville have given him more confidence.

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com NEW ORLEANS – A source said last week that Derrick Rose was ahead of schedule in his return from surgery to repair the right

meniscus in his knee, and Friday Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau wouldn’t rule out the idea that Rose could be practicing with the team later in the regular season.

“I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, just going

step-by-step,’’ Thibodeau said, when asked if Rose’s return to the practice court was a reality. “When he handles the next phase then they’ll move him onto the next one. Just make sure he’s completely healthy, that’s all

we’re thinking about.’’

As far as what phase Rose is currently in, Thibodeau said that, “He can shoot, he’s doing some jogging on a treadmill, he’s coming along. Still got to be patient, go step-by-step, nothing

close to practicing.’’

Note: Cartier Martin’s 10day contract expired, making him a free agent once again. Thibodeau said there was a chance they could bring Martin back later in the year.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER TEAM

Another chance for Faber

SATURDAY

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press NEW YORK – Urijah Faber walked out on a Madison Square Garden stage in a Wes Welker jersey, the UFC’s fun nod to that other “super” show this weekend.

Peyton Manning would have been more appropriate choice.

Like Manning, Faber is a former world champion and about as good as it gets in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Walking out of the cage on top? That’s where it gets tricky for the laidback Californian.

Faber has a knack for losing MMA title fights, yet he’s back in the octagon Saturday night with another shot at the belt. Faber fights 135-pound champ Renan Barao at UFC 169 at the Prudential Center, just a few miles away from MetLife Stadium, the site of Sunday’s Super Bowl.

He’s 0 for 5 as the challenger in title bouts since 2008 – a measure of both his inability to rise to the occasion, yet proof of his tenacity to fight back toward the top.

“Look at any other sport in the world. Who just quits if they didn’t get No. 1?” Faber asked. “The reason I keep getting into these title fights is because no one else can beat me. I’ve had fights to get into these positions and I win. And I win decisively.”

He sure does, including a stout 4-0 record in 2013. He choked out Michael McDonald just six weeks ago on a UFC on Fox card, and was pressed into service for Saturday night when injury-prone Dominick Cruz pulled out with a torn groin.

“I’m kind of used to Cruz not fighting these days,” Faber said.

Another UFC card going off without Cruz seems almost as automatic as one with Faber chasing another championship.

Urijah Faber (right) battles Michael McDonald on Dec. 14 in a UFC bantamweight fight in Sacramento, Calif. Faber will fight Renan Barao on Saturday in Newark, N.J. The UFC carved out a big slice of mainstream success in the New York area this week, with billboards and buses in Times Square promoting the show, and main event fighters were welcomed at the NFL’s media day.

“Anybody who knows the sport knows what great fights these are,” White said. “Do I think we’re going to do 1 million buys this weekend?

No, but I think we’re going to do well.”

Overeem and Mir could have main evented a PPV a few years back, but both heavyweights are fighting just to stay in UFC. Mir, a former heavyweight champion, hasn’t won a bout in more than two years and has talked openly about moving into a broadcasting career. Overeem is riding a two-fight losing streak and is far removed from his prime and his last big win over Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 in 2011. He’s not not ready to quit.

(2012) to extend his title-fight losing streak.

“I figured I’d fight him again,” Faber said. “You start thinking about things right after the fight, the things that were difficult, the things you had success with. But I haven’t been dwelling on it, that’s for sure. But looking again and recapping his fighting style is something I’ve had to do.”

Faber’s most notable championship reigns came with World Extreme Cagefighting. But “The California Kid” knows he needs a UFC championship to cement his status as one of the best in the world.

“Saturday’s a defining moment in his career,” UFC President Dana White said.

Jose Aldo defends his 145-pound championship against Ricardo Lamas and Alistair Overeem fights Frank Mir in a heavyweight bout to headline the fifth major UFC card at the Prudential Center since it opened in 2007.

Premier Living Properties broker Tamara O’Connor shows the view from the family room inside a home near Woodstock on the market for $5.95 million. The 20,000-square-foot home on nearly 20 acres has amenities such as multiple kitchens, two elevators, staff suites, a launderette, nine full and three half bathrooms, seven bedrooms, a home theater, spa and an outdoor pool with a rock waterfall and cabana. It also has an art gallery, banquet room, bar and library.

Niche market High-end homes selling faster in McHenry County

By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@shawmedia.com Property values in McHenry County might not be rising as swiftly as in some areas of the country, but the long pendulum swing from buyers’ to sellers’ market continues to arc in sellers’ favor, area real estate experts said.

In fact, a general shortage of inventory means that properly staged, appropriately priced, median-value homes are selling lickety-split, said Don Prigge, a managing broker with Baird & Warner in Crystal Lake.

Should you possess a luxury home, however, be prepared for a longer wait, although that market, too – even with its relative few qualified buyers – appears to be trending toward faster turnaround.

Sales of homes priced at $1 million plus are up in the seven-county metropolitan Chicago market, even as the median sales price held steady, according to a recent RE/MAX report.

Sales of such homes in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will counties numbered 2,038 in 2013, with Chicago seeing a total luxury sales increase of 26 percent.

While homes at or above $1 million typically are considered “luxury” market homes among real estate brokers, more bang for the luxury buck can be had in McHenry County. Searching homes priced at $750,000 or more, Midwest Real Estate Data showed that 12 McHenry County homes had sold in 2013 at prices ranging from

Their average days on the market was 152.

In 2012, seven houses priced at more than $750,000 sold, ranging from $770,000 to a Barrington Hills residence that sold for $7.5 million. Their average days on the market was far higher, at 537.

The glut of all home inventory brought on by a plethora of foreclosures in the mid to late 2000s is indeed history, according to area real estate experts and data.

That’s good news for most homeowners looking to sell. The bad news is values are not rising locally on a par with many other rebounding areas

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Americans increased their spending at a solid pace for the second straight month in December even though their income was flat.

Consumer spending rose 0.4 percent in December, compared with November when spending had increased an even stronger 0.6 percent, the Commerce Department reported Friday. That was the best gain in five months.

Income, however, showed no gain at all in December after a 0.2 percent rise in November. Wages and salaries were basically flat last month, reflecting a sharp slowing in employment growth.

For all of 2013, income growth was

Wal-Mart lowers 4Q, full-year profit forecast

in the stock market.

The combination of stronger spending in December but no improvement in income meant consumers tapped savings to finance their spending.

The saving rate slipped to 3.9 percent of after-tax income in December, down from 4.3 percent in November.

It was the lowest monthly saving rate since it dropped to 3.6 percent last January.

For the year, the saving rate slipped 4.5 percent, the lowest level since the rate was 3 percent in 2007.

The saving rate had fallen before the Great Recession as surging home prices made Americans feel wealthier and more willing to spend more and save less.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. – WalMart said Friday key earnings figures may come in at the low end or below its prior forecasts for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year. It also said a widely watched sales metric for the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday season, will be lower than its previous forecast.

The world’s biggest retailer said the lower earnings outlook reflect accounting for some Brazil-related charges and other items. Chief Financial Officer Charles Holley said in a statement these items were not anticipated when WalMart previously provided its forecasts.

The lowered outlook for sales at stores open at least a year in part was due to eight winter storms that resulted in some store closings, Holley said.

He added that its Sam’s Club locations were hurt by weather throughout the quarter.

The sales performance was also hindered by a bigger-thanexpected impact from the federal government’s reduction in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits that went into effect Nov. 1, Holley said.

Wal-Mart didn’t provide specific numbers to go with its revised forecasts.

Consumer spending up 0.4 percent in December

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER

CRYSTAL LAKE – BCU, the fourth largest credit union in the state, is providing $25,000 in financial support to Sage YMCA’s renovation and expansion project.

Plans have been developed to expand the facility from 29,000 square feet to 71,000 square feet. The renovated facility will have improved child care facilities, a family locker room and expanded fitness facilities. The aquatics facilities will include a competition pool with viewing area.

“Our community needs a gathering place where children learn important life skills like swimming and teamwork, where young families meet and make friends, where teens and adults develop the skills and relationships they need to be healthy, confident, connected and secure,” Sage YMCA Executive Director Robyn Ostrem said in a news release. “The Sage Y is this place – a destination that will serve the children and families of McHenry County for years to come.”

BCU will make its second donation in July.

2.8 percent, the weakest performance since 2009, when income fell 2.8 percent as the country struggled with a deep recession.

Economists are hoping stronger economic growth will promote stronger employment and income gains this year.

Chris G. Christopher, director of consumer economics at Global Insight, said he was looking for stronger growth in consumer spending this year, reflecting improvements in the housing market, job prospects and consumer confidence.

While consumer confidence has been rising, the University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment released Friday showed a slight drop in January to 81.2 compared with a December reading of 82.5, a decline attributed in part to recent setbacks

Critical questions for business succession planning It’s not unusual for business owners to find that the majority of their wealth is tied up in their businesses, which can be a major provider for them and their families.

But when the time comes for them to sell their businesses because of a life-changing event such as retirement, many business owners have not quantified how they would replace that important chunk of income.

Business succession can be an emotional, financial and timing issue for business owners. If you own your own business and are considering a business succession plan, there are five questions you should address. You will want to ensure you have a plan in place to mitigate the risks associated with one of your most important assets.

• What other assets have you set

aside to help fund your retirement?

The recent economic recession has brought home concerns about relying on your business alone to fund

tive cash flows often can be sold. On the other hand, specialty firms that rely on you and your skills alone, such as boutique consulting firms, are generally not salable. The truth is most businesses fall somewhere in between.

• If you were to sell your business

VIEWS Patrick O’Connor retirement. Just as your investments should be diversified, so should your assets. Though it may be difficult to do in a challenging business climate, business owners should save and accumulate retirement assets away from the business to make progress toward retirement goals.

• Have you considered whether

and pay the taxes on your gains, would the proceeds be enough to last for the rest of your life? It’s important to

your business is an asset you can sell?

Whether or not you can find a buyer for your business depends on a variety of factors, including whether there are employees or partners who could continue to run the business after you retire or whether your business is the type to attract outside buyers.

For example, companies that produce tangible goods and have posi-

determine whether you will need to derive a level of income in retirement similar to what you now enjoy from your business. As a business owner, you likely work very hard, and your dedicated efforts are an important ingredient to your business success. The investment returns from your growing business may well exceed the investment returns from a prudent investment portfolio. In the long run, however, the income derived from your valuable work ethic simply may not be replaceable. Business owners are often optimists by nature, and they

take risks to grow their business.

The risk of putting all your eggs in one basket may not work as well, however, when it comes time to build an investment portfolio.

• What happens if you cannot be

involved in running your business?

Stories abound about business owners who are struck down by illness, death or disability, leaving business partners and spouses to figure out what comes next. If more than one partner or shareholder is involved in your business, it is important to have a buy-sell agreement in place.

A buy-sell is a written agreement between two or more owners of a business.

If a triggering event occurs, one or more owners will have the right or obligation to buy the business interest from the owner who is obligated to sell. Triggering events often include the death, divorce, or disability of a partner or shareholder. The agreement may establish a funding mechanism to facilitate the

purchase of an owner’s interest in such cases.

• Do you have a plan in place that

will allow you to retire regardless of a sale? The current business environment is a reminder you may not be able to sell your business at the precise time you wish to sell. Planning for succession in a small business should be a top priority.

By planning ahead, you can help to ensure that you have the plan, the capital, and the agreements in place to transition your business when the time is right or when life events require succession in your business.

It’s an estate with four kitchens, two elevators, two servants’ suites, a launderette, nine full and three half bathrooms, seven bedrooms, a home theater, in-home spa and a resort-like outdoor pool with a cabana and rock waterfall. It also has an art gallery, banquet room, bar and library. This home, listed at $5.95 million (down from $6.75 million), is nestled among the trees off Dunham Road near Menge Road in Hartland Township.

The home is listed with Premier Living Properties, and certified luxury home marketing specialist Tamara O’Connor recently provided a tour as she talked about the effort it takes to sell such a property.

The owner and her husband, who ran a plumbing school in Chicago, scouted properties for 10 years before buying the land and spent two years building the three-level house, O’Connor said. In the about six months it has had the listing, Premier Living Properties has spent more than $15,000 marketing it, with six showings to qualified buyers, she said.

“What’s exciting is that in 2012, two of the highest sales in McHenry County occurred, one at $7.5 million and one at just under $2.5 million,” O’Connor said. “But rural properties take longer in any market. You’ve got to find the right person.”

It could be a corporate retreat.”

O’Connor is prepared to work hard and to have patience, she said.

“There have been only eight sales of over $1 million in the last 24 months in all of McHenry County, and that’s just normal – even in the heyday,” she said.

“You have to remember that McHenry County’s average price is in the $200,000s.

“Properties like this take several years to build, though,” O’Connor said.

“Not everyone wants to do that.”

Along with extensive marketing – such as in glossy national publications like “Unique Homes,” professional photography and highly detailed websites (see www.19802dunham.com, for example) – selling a high-end property may require a global approach, and even an eye on a non-residential demographic.

“We’re marketing the property on

However, once the recession took hold and millions of Americans lost their jobs while home prices plunged, Americans became more frugal and the savings rate rose, peaking at 6.1 percent in 2009 and remaining above 5 percent for the next three years.

Consumer spending is closely watched because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

For the October-December quarter, consumer spending was rising at the fastest pace in three years, giving economists hope the economy has finally turned the corner to faster growth after a prolonged period of sub-par activity since the recession ended in June 2009.

Consumers have been buying durable goods such as cars as well as non-durable products such as clothing.

While the overall economy grew just 1.9 percent in

2013, some analysts think growth could accelerate to about 3 percent this year.

If it does, 2014 would be the best year for growth since the recession ended.

This year, economists think the U.S. economy will get a lift from continued gains in hiring. Further steady job growth would give more households money to spend and help increase consumer spending.

In addition, U.S. manufacturers are expected to gain from rising global demand. And housing construction and auto sales are expected to strengthen further in 2014.

Stronger growth and the improving job market are the primary reasons the Federal Reserve is pressing ahead with a plan to scale back its economic stimulus.

Most forecasters think the economy will manage to withstand factors such as turmoil in emerging economies, which have been rattled by the pullback in the Fed’s stimulus and the prospect of higher U.S. interest rates.

This week, we have been looking at unusual responses.

Now, for a change of pace, let’s have an unusual defensive discard.

Look at only the North and East hands. South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart two: 10, jack, ace. Declarer then runs six club tricks. What discards should East make?

The bidding was interesting. South might have overcalled one no-trump, showing 15-plus to 18-minus points, a balanced hand and at least one heart stopper. It would have given a good description of his hand -- but would still probably have reached the right contract from the wrong side. Note that three no-trump

by North is unbeatable. (Five clubs by North is defeated only if East inds a most unlikely spade lead.)

After the two-diamond overcall and three-club advance, South might have cue-bid three hearts, hoping partner would convert to three no-trump with a heart stopper.

But would North have treated queen-10-doubleton as suficient?

Against three no-trump

by South, West correctly led his heart two. Lead the lowest

from any tripleton when you have not supported partner’s suit. But if you have supported, lead top of nothing, here the seven.

East should realize that if South has the ace and queen of diamonds, the contract is unstoppable. Declarer will take the diamond inesse after running the clubs. So, to speed up play, East’s irst discard ought to be the diamond king!

If South does not immediately claim, East then pitches two spades and another diamond. Here, West clings to a guarded diamond queen and the contract goes down one.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - You won’t need to take any idle time this year. You will be focused and prepared to meet every demand that you face. You will have no trouble achieving whatever it is that you set out to do. You will be highly organized, and your ideas will be well-defined and ready to be put into action. A financial upgrade is also very likely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Do not allow anyone to play with your heart or call your emotional stability into question. Give yourself some time to think.

Uncertainty around your love life is evident.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Secret encounters may lead to a thrilling adventure. Be cautious about sharing details about private affairs. Now is a great time to take a pleasure trip if you can.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have an unrealistic idea about your environment and your current position. Be sure that you’re clear about your range of obligations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Emotional deception may lead you down the wrong path. You must face whatever is at the heart of the matter if you want to put it right. Be precise and completely honest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s best not to promise anything that you can’t actually deliver. You are prone to spending too much right now. Resist the temptation to agree to any joint financial ventures.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your lover may feel the need to resort to emotional blackmail if you have been neglecting his or her needs. Burn your energy through physical activities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be careful what you say to your colleagues today, or they may misinterpret you.

Think carefully about your reactions. Taking a drastic approach will not make up for past mistakes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Children may choose to fib about their whereabouts today. Traveling will work out well, whether for business or pleasure. Avoid getrich-quick investment schemes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Problems with gas, oil or water in your home may mess up your day. Be careful if you choose to fix your own appliances. A family member may be overindulgent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Bureaucratic delays may cause anxiety today. Get all of your papers in order carefully. Avoid institutions or hospitals if at all possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A business trip may lead to a new opportunity. Be willing to make any move that will broaden your horizons.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Offering goods or services may be a way to make a bit of extra cash. Think about ways to include the whole family in a business venture.

Teeth in a Day Procedure with All-On-Four Dental Implants ‘‘Like having a second set of permanent teeth’’ Dr. M. Shakeel Licensed General Dentist

Dr. C. Matesi Licensed General Dentist

By Dr. M. Shakeel LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT FULLY ENJOY EACH AND EVERY REASON TO SMILE If you find yourself avoiding family photos, first impressions or even savoring your favorite foods, Dr. Shakeel’s unique dental implant techniques offer the solutions you’ve been searching for.

The All-On-Four Dental Implants procedure - Teeth in a Day - offers simple, reliable and long-lasting results for patients who are missing teeth or experiencing the frustrations of loose, decayed and broken teeth. Though advanced technology and innovative techniques, dental implants are easier to place, less invasive and have a successful rate of over 95%.

WHY DR. SHAKEEL? With years of experience in the field, Dr. Shakeel is a highly respected expert in the placement and restoration of dental implants from a single missing tooth to the entire upper and lower arch. His background in dental implant surgery provides a strong foundation that ensures medically safe and aesthetically beautiful results.

Furthermore, Dr. Shakeel received extensive hands-on training and assisted with numerous successful cases, under the guidance of the pioneer of the All-on-Four procedure, Dr. Paulo Malo of Portugal (2010). Few in the dental industry possess his mastery of the combined surgical and prosthetic demands of successful implant dentistry, especially executing the All-On-Four procedure.

IDEAL PATIENTS The All-On-Four technique is for patients dissatisfied with their current dentures or for those who have

no practical alternatives for saving their remaining teeth. In most all cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many benefits of a permanent solution to missing teeth through the All-OnFour procedure.

THE TEETH IN A DAY PROCESS This amazing technique enables you to achieve a beautiful, new Smile in a Day by utilizing four implants placed in each arch to which the replacement teeth are securely attached. Gentle oral sedation assures that you receive maximum safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

In addition, the entire process, including any necessary extractions, can be completed in one day with minimal recovery time.The result is a fully functional set of teeth that look and feel natural, improves your self-confidence and allows you to once again experience the foods and activities you enjoy most.

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS • Requires minimal recovery • Reduces overall cost when compared to single implants • Eliminates the need for bone grafting in most all cases • Allows for easy maintenance through proper oral hygiene • Restores the ability to eat all types of foods • Relieves the many frustrations of removable appliances • Ensures long-term results with the potential to last a lifetime • Renews a youthful appearance through bone level stabilization • Creates a whole new smile in just one day • Enhances self-confidence and overall quality of life For more information on Teeth in a Day or on All-On-Four Dental Implants, contact:

Dr. Shakeel Signature Dental Group 815-455-3300 www.signaturedentalgroup.com

All procedures are done under conscious sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety. Dr Shakeel and Dr Sinha hold anesthesia permits in the state of Illinois.
