Money flowing in local races

Candidates for public office and lawmakers in Illinois are expected to disclose finance information quarterly. However, contributions of $1,000 or more are required to be disclosed immediately. A look at some of the larger contributions made last week to candidates of local interest: • Sage Products Chairman Vince Foglia and his wife were in a giving mood. Foglia donated $5,400 to Patrick Kenneally in his bid for state’s attorney. Patricia Foglia also gave Kenneally $5,400. Dan McConchie, who is running for state Senate in the 26th District, received $5,400 from Vince Foglia, as well.

• Kenneally also received $1,500 from Colette Rau of Chicago and $2,500 from K.R. Chwala of Barrington.

COVER STORY

3

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com When John Jung first joined the Woodstock Lions Club in the early 1990s, the group had about 50 members.

Now Jung is president of the group that consists of about 10 members, four or five of whom show up to the meetings on average, he said.

At 67 years old, Jung said he’s one of the younger members in the club, and they’ve been losing members over the last few years who have died or retired. Recruiting new members is hard because people don’t seem to have the time for service anymore in their busy schedules, he said.

“We’ve tried everything,” Jung said.

“I don’t know what to do anymore.”

Other service clubs, including the Crystal Lake Lions Club, McHenry Kiwanis Club and Woodstock Kiwanis Club, also have struggled to grow membership in recent years.

Although the 52-member Crystal Lake Lions Club is significantly larger than the Woodstock Lions Club, Crystal Lake Lions member Randy Funk said it hasn’t grown its membership over the past five years.

“People don’t find enough time to go out and do this kind of work, which is so important, volunteer work,” Funk said. “It does take your time to do it, and money and energy. I just think people need to start doing it more. It’s a problem.”

Funk said strong community support helps sustain the club. Recently, the club sold more than 550 tickets for its annual steak fry fundraiser that Funk said he expected to raise more than $20,000.

“That’s why our club does succeed, is we do have a bunch of people who are not members, but are like family members,” Funk said, and they come out to fundraising events.

Part of the mission of Lions Clubs nationally is to help the blind and hearing impaired, Funk said, and any type of service club helps to provide free services to the community that people in need otherwise might have not been able to get.

Jung said there would be more people going without a pair of glasses and more children sitting in school not being able to read the board without the extra help.

CRYSTAL LAKE On Angels’ Wings animal welfare director Emily Huetson holds Meeko, a shih tzumix, after someone left the disheveled dog on the shelter’s doorstep Saturday.

A local groomer from Paws on Pingree gave Meeko a makeover.

CRYSTAL LAKE – One woman was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock with minor injuries after her car veered off the road and hit a tree Tuesday afternoon in Crystal Lake, a Crystal Lake fire official said.

Crystal Lake Fire Department Lt. Heidi Olsen said the woman was the only person in the car, which crashed about 2:30 p.m. at Lucas and Briarwood roads.

Icy conditions and drifting snow contributed to the crash, she said.

The car had minor to moderate damage and was towed, Olsen said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene.

Meeko gets a makeover Shih tzu-mix looks to be adopted from On Angels’ Wings shelter after haircut

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When 5-year-old shih tzu-mix Meeko arrived at On Angels’ Wings pet rescue, the staff knew the spirited little guy was loved.

But what they also knew was that clumps of matted fur that had built up over three years without haircuts or regular medical attention were preventing Meeko from being able to see and making him uncomfortable.

The matted fur had to go.

And with about 24 hours notice, animal welfare director Emily Huetson said a groomer at Paws on Pingree agreed to give Meeko the haircut he so badly needed.

Four hours after he went in for his appointment Friday, Meeko emerged from the Crystal Lake groomer with his tail wagging.

“It brings a tear to my eye because this is the kind of thing we’re in animal rescue for,” Huetson said. “He’s such a sweet little guy, and a simple haircut made him

Meeko’s owner had contacted the agency Thursday to say he had lost his job and apartment and couldn’t find anywhere that would take his dog.

“He said he was ready to open the door and let Meeko fend for himself,” Huetson said.

When he arrived, Meeko was taken to a veterinarian at the Cary Grove Animal Hospital.

He had been neutered, but had not received shots for rabies or heartworm. Despite the lack of grooming or other care, Meeko was healthy.

With a haircut, Meeko now is ready to be adopted. His fee is $250, and he can be seen at the adoption center adjacent to the On Angels’ Wings Resale Store, 5186 Photo provided Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Council OKs rezone for quarry

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The Marengo City Council approved an annexation agreement and ordinances regarding rezoning land for a new quarry at its meeting Monday, City Administrator Gary Boden said.

The quarry, owned by Super Aggregates, is set to be built in the area west of Route 23 and south of Pleasant Grove Road.

The City Council approved 80 acres in the area be annexed and zoned the 255-acre property for manufacturing and issued a special-use permit for mining to develop a quarry, Boden said.

Alderman James Regelin was absent from the meeting, and council member

Dennis Hammortree was the sole “no” vote on all action items regarding the quarry, Boden said.

According to the annexation agreement, the owner will pay the city $0.05 for each ton of the gross amount of sand, gravel and other products excavated or proGary Boden duced from the property.

Super Aggregates also is required to pay a $10,000 fee to reimburse the city for any fees associated with the annexation and zoning proceedings and $50 an acre at the time of annexation, according to the agreement.

“It will be a revenue producer,” Boden said Tuesday. “To what extent remains to be seen.”

Boden said Super Aggregates estimated the city would receive about $45,000 a year from the extracting fees and sales tax. However, the amount the city receives will be determined by the market, Boden said.

The agreement also states Super Aggregates will be responsible for maintaining roads used by the business. The entrance will be at the intersection of Pleasant Grove and Meyer roads, Boden said.

Jack Pease, owner of Super Aggregates, originally presented his plans for a quarry to the city at an Oct. 26 City Council meeting. The intention of the quarry would be to extract materials for 20 to 30 years, Pease has said, and then possibly turn the property into a lake surrounded by houses.

“A gift from the Gods of BBQ” Pat Bruno Chicago Sun Times Food Critic adno=0333114 adno adn o=033

VIEWS Joan Oliver I remember my mother reading to my brother and me. I would always try to peer over her shoulder so that I could see the pictures or try to follow along. No doubt that’s how I began to learn to read, since I already could make out words by the time I started first grade.

We had a multi-volume collection of children’s stories that had lovely pictures that would help to draw me into the tales. Each one would take us to another place and time.

We didn’t have much money, not that I knew that at the time. But as I grew older, I found that the best way

to escape from my everyday life was to bury my nose in a book.

Characters such as Nancy Drew and Harriet the Spy became like friends to me. In my imagination, I’d picture myself among the rabbits in “Watership Down” or taking the epic journey there and back again with Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit” or visiting Narnia and Aslan in the “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

The books of my youth helped instill a love of reading in me that remains to this day. And many of them have had a lasting effect on how I see the world.

I hope that in this day and age of shorter attention spans and electronic everything that we don’t lose some fundamental part of the process of helping children not just learn to read but to love to read.

CRYSTAL LAKE

It will help them in so many ways in the years of schooling they have in front of them. A love of reading will make them better able to achieve whatever goals they put in front of themselves. It really can help them unlock their futures.

That’s why I applaud programs such as Love to Read Week that take place in our area’s schools and the many, many library story times that take place across McHenry County.

And especially all those parents who take the time to read to their children. The gift of reading is precious.

Let’s pass it on.

LOCAL BRIEF

Traumatic brain injury services expanding Program fills gap after Mental Health Board cut Pioneer Center funding

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County Epilepsy Foundation announced Tuesday it will begin offering brain injury health management services to McHenry County residents on March 7, filling a service gap left when the McHenry County Mental Health Board decided in January to stop funding those services at the Pioneer Center.

The foundation received a grant of $339,651 from the Mental Health Board that will cover startup costs and last until the end of the board’s fiscal year on Nov. 30, the foundation’s Director of Telehealth Nancy Monica said.

Dr. Marvin Rossi, who will serve as the program’s medical director through a partnership with Rush University Medical Center, said the program was a natural fit because studies show that up to 90 percent of patients with a traumatic brain injury also have epilepsy.

He said the foundation plans to expand the program from what it was at Pioneer. Monica said the program would inherit the 65 people who were already in the program and hopes to expand to at least 200 patients by the end of the year.

“When we look at the numbers, there are hundreds of people in the county who have significant disabilities from traumatic brain injuries,” Rossi said.

“It was reasonable with these large numbers to say we will more than triple the throughput with our patients and those people in the community who are not being offered services.”

The program will be at the foundation’s office at 333 Commerce Drive, Suite 500, in Crystal Lake, and Monica said the practice would be expanding into a suite next door.

Monica said the foundation also will hire the three full-time employees and one part-time employee that were working for the program at Pioneer.

The announcement comes four days after Woodstock’s Thresholds introduced a new program that would help fill the psychiatric services gap.

Gas odor prompts evacuation at Leggee Elementary School

HUNTLEY – Students from Leggee Elementary School were evacuated from the school for about 20 minutes Tuesday because of a smell of what was suspected to be natural gas, officials said.

Officials from Nicor and the Huntley Fire Protection District evaluated the situation and determined the reported odor actually was harmless sewer gas, Huntley District 158 spokesman Dan Armstrong said. He said it was not clear where the odor originated.

When the original report came in about 11:30 a.m., students were moved from Leggee to Huntley High School, which is next door. Armstrong said there were no reports of students or staff being sickened by the odor.

Next week marks a milestone in Woodstock District 200.

The district’s Love to Read Week program celebrates its silver anniversary – 25 years of having volunteers come into the schools to share their love of reading with students.

As a volunteer reader in years past, I can honestly say it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve had a chance to do, particularly since I do not have any children of my own.

A lot of us probably have fond memories of childhood story times.

After all, the tradition of reading to groups of children, whether in classrooms or at area public libraries, goes back years and years and years.

In fact, it’s probably how a lot of us started on our journey to reading.

That, and having our own parents or close relatives read to us.

LOCAL BRIEF

Middle school football to be cut

D-200 board votes to nix only program of its kind in county

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – This was the final year for the Woodstock School District 200 middle school football program.

The school board voted unanimously – Board President Camille Goodwin and member Bill Nattress were absent – to discontinue the district’s middle school football program, which was the only one of its kind in McHenry County.

“There’s nothing wrong with it; we have no problem with the job [the coaches are] doing,” Superintendent Mike Moan said, adding that no other district in McHenry County has a middle school football team.

All District 200 middle school sports, except football, are part of the Junior Fox Valley Conference, according to district documents.

No other middle schools in the same conference or in McHenry County have a middle school program, so the District 200 middle school football program’s schedule has consisted largely of private schools, youth football programs and interdistrict games, documents state.

That has meant some of the teams’ away games have been relatively far away in places such as Rockford, Moan said Tuesday after the regular board meeting.

Cutting the program will save the district about $43,000 on an annual basis, including $33,000 in stipends and $10,000 in equipment and maintenance costs.

However, Chief Financial Officer Risa Hanson later said there could be other costs not included in that analysis such as transportation.

Eight coaches were involved in the program, each receiving an annual stipend of about $4,000, Hanson added.

Between Creekside and Northwood middle schools, Moan estimated about 70 to 80 students most recently participated in the program.

He added he has communicated with representatives of Woodstock

Thunder, the local organization that offers youth football and other sporting activities, and they have indicated the organization would be willing to support the increase in participation that dissolving the District 200 program could cause.

Member Russ Goerlitz expressed concern about families who might not be able to pay the increased cost to have their kids play with Woodstock Thunder.

The district’s fee is $75, while the registration fee for the community organization is $265, according to the Woodstock Thunder website.

Moan noted the representatives said they would be willing to work with students through fundraising.

The website also indicates payment plans can be made available to those who request them.

He added discontinuing the program, which has been in place at least for the past 28 years, if not more, has been an item discussed over the past couple of years as middle school students in other local areas have been participating in programs in their communities rather than within their districts.

Useful Tips to Avoid Calling for Furnace Repair This Winter Winter has reared its head & now you’re trusting your furnace more than ever. One of the best ways to keep your furnace running effortlessly is to stay up on annual maintenance and tune-ups. Below are a few easy things you can check on yourself that could keep you from being left in the cold and in need of an emergency furnace repair.

Change Your Air Filter – A nasty filter is the most common reason a heating system breaks down.

Dirt and debris keep air from passing around your system and that could possibly cause your furnace to overheat. Swapping your furnace filter is the easiest way to help try to extend the lifetime of your heating system and avoid furnace repair.

Keep Air Vents Open - There’s wrong information out there about closing off vents in vacant rooms. In theory closing off vents actually puts an unneeded strain on your system that could lead to issues in the future.

www.camstemp.com Serving the Greater Crystal Lake & McHenry County Area Since 1983

Check Your Thermostat - Sometimes when your furnace isn’t operating properly, the problem may be an easy fix due to depleted batteries in your thermostat. Typically, your thermostat will offer a warning approximately a month before the battery runs out, but if you missed it, that may be the cause of your heating problems.

Along with these easy tips, the best advice is to keep up with annual, scheduled furnace maintenance. If you haven’t booked your annual furnace service yet, you can easily set up an appointment online: www. camstemp.com or if give us a call at 815-455-3351.

How long should my furnace or air conditioner last?

Older furnace units, made prior to 1990 typically last for 10 - 15 years. Newer furnaces with a stainless steel heat exchanger may last longer. Older air conditioners last 10 - 12 years, while newer units can last 15 - 20 years. All lasting longer with proper maintenance.

Since its founding in 2005, more than 200 trained CASA volunteer advocates have assisted more than 425 children.

this for the kids and the community, you make time,” Baron said.

One club that has recently grown is the Woodstock Kiwanis Club, which was chartered in May and now has about 15 members, President Kevin Dwyer said. He said the former Woodstock Kiwanis Club died out about seven years ago, after it had been in the community for more than 50 years.

Dwyer said he’s not sure why the former club died out, but he hopes the energetic and young members, with an average age of about 40, will keep the newly formed club and the spirit of service going in the community.

“When people start getting involved, and they start showing passion in helping the community out and really start volunteering, that’s when you start seeing the community come alive,” Dwyer said.

WOODSTOCK – Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of McHenry County will host the fourth annual Little Black Dress fundraiser Feb. 18 at Bull Valley Golf Club.

Tickets include admission to the event, a drink ticket and a special wine charm to commemorate the fourth annual event, which also features music, wine, raffles, a silent auction and chocolate.

Tickets are now on sale at www. casamchenrycounty.org/#!littleblackdress/c1a97.

Horizons for the Blind, a nonprofit based in Crystal Lake that works to increase accessibility to consumer products and services for the blind or visually impaired, is one of the groups that’s benefited from the work of the Crystal Lake Lions Club.

Executive Director Camille Caffarelli said it’s important for people to donate their money and time to nonprofits, and that can be done through service organizations.

“I think as human beings, we have a responsibility to give back to society,” Caffarelli said. “And I think those organizations are means allowing that to happen.”

To gain more members, the McHenry Kiwanis Club is in the middle of a membership drive to add to its 42 members. Internationally, the club’s mission is to help children.

McHenry Kiwanis Club President Julianne Baron said the group has been sustaining its “small membership,” and she hopes to add members by knocking on doors.

Baron said membership is low in service clubs because people don’t think they have the time.

The village of Algonquin is accepting proposals for the purchase, moving and rehabilitation of the historic Franke House at 103 W. Algonquin Road.

ALGONQUIN – The village announced Tuesday it is accepting proposals for the purchase, moving and rehabilitation of the historic Franke House at 103 W. Algonquin Road.

The property was acquired by the village as part of a larger redevelopment area, and several structures on nearby properties were demolished because the village said they were too neglected to save.

The home was constructed in 1911 by businessman and carpenter Christ Franke, who lived there while running several businesses including Franke Lumber and Coal.

Later, the Zange family lived in the home and ran Zange Decorating and Painting out of the garage for 50 years.

The house was an artist studio in the

1980s and most recently housed a psychic reader.

According to a release from Community Development Director Russ Farnum, the building is in fair condition but must be relocated to accommodate future development on the property along Algonquin Road.

According to a request for proposals on the village’s website, applicants will need to provide a descriptive plan and timeline for relocation, the property where the home will be relocated, its intended use, and proof of the financial ability to complete the project, among other things.

The village would prefer the home be relocated to a site of the Algonquin Old Town District, according to planning documents.

Proposals must be submitted by April 30. Questions can be directed to Farnum or Senior Planner Ben Mason.

STATE

Bill would make posting fight videos illegal

By ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – The video posted on Facebook showed a 12-year-old on the ground while another boy tried to stomp him, with classmates standing by, circling the two and recording the fight on their phones.

Neither boy was seriously hurt, but Republican Rep. Terri Bryant of Murphysboro in southern Illinois was so disturbed by the spectators’ behavior that she’s proposed a bill making it a crime to record fights to share online.

“Instead of getting help, they opened their cellphones,” Bryant said. “I just want to send a clear message that it is unacceptable to stage these fights or be a willing bystander.”

Bryant’s proposal, however, has prompted concerns about infringing on free speech rights and unnecessarily criminalizing young people. Similar concerns have hindered lawmakers around the country who have tried in recent years to crack down on cyberbullies who take to social media to harass

State urges college students to apply for financial aid

CHICAGO – Illinois officials say college students should continue to apply for financial aid, even though the state budget impasse has put grants for needy students on hold.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission is encouraging students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The form determines if a student is eligible for most financial aid programs, including Illinois’ Monetary Award Program, or MAP grants.

Funding for the grants has been frozen due to a stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and majority Democrats, leaving schools and students wondering how they’ll pay their bills.

ISAC Director Eric Zarnikow said students shouldn’t assume the grants won’t be available for the 2016-17 school year.

He said it’s possible lawmakers will approve the funding, and students can’t get money if they don’t apply.

“I wish someone would have stepped in,” said Tiffany Thomas, the mother of the boy who was on the ground in an alley near the Murphysboro middle school during the fight last month.

Bryant’s bill, introduced days after she learned of the video, would make it a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct to post fight videos online with intent to condone or promote the violence.

All 50 states have anti-bullying laws, but only half of those laws address cyberbullying, according to the Cyberbullying Research Center.

Amid budget woes, layoffs possible in Cook County

CHICAGO – Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said layoffs of county workers and program cuts are possible because the state of Illinois doesn’t have a budget.

Preckwinkle said Monday that as of Jan. 31 the state owes Cook County about $66 million. Preckwinkle said the county “can’t continue to carry the state because we don’t have the cash reserves to do it.”

The Chicago Democrat said she’s particularly worried about $19 million that the county receives for child support enforcement and nearly $2 million it gets for an offender diversion program.

Preckwinkle said she’ll have to reconsider those programs if the state doesn’t pass a budget.

GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats in the state Legislature have been at a state budget stalemate since last summer.

U of Illinois menorah damaged for a third time

CHAMPAIGN – A 9-foot-tall menorah at a University of Illinois Jewish student center has been damaged for a third time in less than a year, police said

vices to post words, videos or pictures to the Internet with the intent to harm or threaten another person. Since then, several other states have passed cyberbullying laws that criminalize posting harmful or threatening content to social networking sites.

Illinois passed a law criminalizing cyberbullying in 2014, but Bryant’s bill is unrelated.

“I would hate for children or teenagers to then have a misdemeanor on their record, and be introduced to the justice system well before they need to be,” said Sameer Hinduja, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center. “Kids do it simply because they are kids.”

Lawmakers have had difficulty trying to criminalize some behavior that new technologies facilitate.

Republican Rep. John Carney of Kentucky proposed legislation this year that would have fined bystanders up to $100 for taking pictures of car accidents and posting them to social media.

Carney said he wanted to protect families from seeing names or pictures of loved ones before they were notified

by law enforcement. Carney withdrew his proposal, however, because he said he knew it would not survive a First Amendment challenge.

Ed Yohnka, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, said Bryant’s bill will run into the same problems.

“We think this proposal is overly broad and unconstitutional,” he said.

The bill also could be difficult to prosecute because it would be hard to prove the intent of the person recording and posting a fight video online, said Matt Jones, associate director for administration at the Illinois State’s Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor office.

People could argue that by filming they are preserving evidence and publicizing wrongdoing.

Bryant said she’s not trying to infringe on anyone’s freedom of speech, but worries that recording fights to share online devalues people.

She said one of her goals is to bring attention to how people are using social media to get a “few minutes of fame at someone else’s expense.”

Tuesday, and the center’s rabbi believes school leaders need to take a stronger stand against the vandalism.

Two athletes have been suspended from competition, and campus police said they’ve issued a notice for one of them – a player on the softball team – to appear in court on a tentative charge of criminal damage to property. But no official charges have been filed over the incident, in which one arm of the aluminum menorah in front of the Chabad Jewish Center was broken early Sunday.

Surveillance video taken around 1 a.m. Sunday shows a man and woman approach the menorah, the woman unscrewing a light bulb on top of one arm and then breaking another arm as she tries to reach its bulb. She tries to repair it before the two walk away.

Interim athletic director Paul Kowalczyk said Tuesday that a softball player was indefinitely suspended from competition and a men’s gymnast from suspended from the team’s next two competitions, adding that both will write apologies to the center and will be required to perform unspecified community service.

“We are disappointed by the actions early Sunday morning of two student-athletes from softball and men’s

gymnastics at the Chabad Jewish Center on campus and apologize for this unacceptable behavior,” Kowalczyk said in an emailed statement.

Store owner charged with selling fake urine

CRESTWOOD – A suburban Chicago store owner has been charged with selling synthetic urine to help people pass drug and alcohol tests.

The Cook County Sheriff’s office says Taher Yousef of Crestwood allegedly sold a kit called “U Pass” to an undercover officer on Monday at his store, Tobacco Land Plus, in Crestwood.

The kit included hand warmers that authorities say are used to heat the synthetic urine before submitting it for testing.

The 56-year-old Yousef was charged with a felony count of selling a synthetic substance with the intent of use it to defraud an alcohol or drug test.

The sheriff’s department says the only legitimate reason to possess synthetic urine is to calibrate drug testing equipment.

A phone call to the store seeking comment wasn’t answered. Yousef doesn’t have a listed number in Crestwood.

The progressive wish list, Train crash in Germany kills at least 10, injures 80 which comes as the nation’s

BAD AIBLING, Germany – Crews using helicopters and boats rescued dozens of people from the wreckage of two German commuter trains that crashed head-on Tuesday in an isolated part of Bavaria, killing at least 10 and leaving authorities trying to determine why multiple safety measures failed.

The trains crashed on a stretch of track running between a river and a forest about 40 miles southeast of Munich. Though the first rescue crews were on the scene in minutes, it took hours for all survivors to be airlifted and shuttled by boat across the river to waiting ambulances.

Nine people were reported dead immediately while a 10th died later in a hospital, police spokesman Stefan Sonntag said.

The two train engineers were thought to be among the dead and one person was still missing in the wreckage.

Obama unveils record election-year budget

WASHINGTON –President Barack Obama on Tuesday unveiled a record $4.1 trillion, election-year budget that finances Democratic priorities such as education, health care and climate change with new taxes on crude oil, the wealthy and big banks.

long-term fiscal outlook is deteriorating, underscores the initiatives pushed by Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who hope to succeed Obama. Republicans dismissed the proposal as a taxand-spend exercise.

Officials: IS determined to strike U.S. this year

WASHINGTON – Leaders of the Islamic State are determined to strike targets in the United States this year, senior U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday, telling lawmakers that a small group of violent extremists will attempt to overcome the logistical challenges of mounting such an attack.

In testimony before congressional committees, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and other officials described the Islamic State as the “pre-eminent terrorist threat.”

The militant group can “direct and inspire attacks against a wide range of targets around the world,” Clapper said.

Marine Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said the Islamic State will probably conduct additional attacks in Europe and then attempt the same in the U.S.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders reacts to the cheering crowd Tuesday at his primary night rally in Manchester, N.H.

Trump, Sanders sweep to victory in New Hampshire The ASSOCIATED PRESS MANCHESTER, N.H. – Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter frustration with American politics to commanding victories in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primaries, adding crucial credibility to their upstart candidacies.

Sanders swept majorities of men, women, independents and young people in his win over Hillary Clinton, but faces challenges in the more diverse states that come next on the primary calendar. Trump, appealing to voters seeking a political outsider, could benefit from the persistent lack of clarity among the more mainstream Republicans struggling to challenge him.

“We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the world is going to respect us again, believe me,” Trump said at a victory rally.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich grabbed second in New Hampshire after pouring nearly all of his campaign resources into the state. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio vied for third along with Ted Cruz, the Iowa caucus winner, ensuring all would press on to the next voting contest in South Carolina.

Sanders, at his own raucous rally, said his victory sent a message “that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California.

And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs.” The enthusiasm behind Trump, a real estate mogul who has never held political office, and Vermont Sen. Sanders, who says he is a demo-

cratic socialist, underscores the public’s anger with the current political and economic system.

Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party’s nominee, whoever wins that nomination will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.

Clinton appeared to recognize that reality in her concession speech, echoing Sanders’ calls for taking on Wall Street banks and tackling income inequality. But she cast herself as more prepared to make good on her pledges.

“People have every right to be angry. But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions,” she said after congratulating Sanders on his win.

New Hampshire did little to clarify the crowded contest among more mainstream GOP candidates fighting to emerge as a challenger to Trump and Texas Sen. Cruz. Florida Sen. Rubio, former Florida Gov. Bush and Cruz battled for third behind Kasich.

Throughout the heated primary campaign, Kasich has prided himself on not attacking his rivals. A more moderate Republican from a politically important state, Kasich told supporters Tuesday night that his second-place finish could be an indication that “we’re turning the page on a dark part of American politics.”

The day was a blow for Rubio, who had appeared to be breaking away from the second-tier Republican pack after a stronger-than-expected showing in Iowa.

But he stumbled in Saturday’s debate under intense pressure from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has relentlessly cast the young senator as too inexperienced and too reliant on memorized talking points to become president.

Report: U.S. seeing drop in uninsured

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Eight states saw a significant drop last year in the number of residents going without health insurance, according to a government report out Tuesday that has implications for the presidential campaign.

All but Florida had accepted a Medicaid expansion that is one of two major pathways to coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law. The law’s other coverage route is subsidized private insurance, available in all 50 states.

GOP presidential candidates are vowing to repeal “Obamacare,” while offering hardly any detail on how they’d replace it without millions losing coverage.

Politically, the eight states with statistically significant coverage gains in the National Health Interview Survey are a mix of red, blue and purple. They are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and New York. Five have GOP governors.

As a whole, the nation had an uninsured rate of 9.1 percent during the first nine months of 2015, according to the survey, an ongoing research project by a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The uninsured rate was 14.4 percent in 2013, before the law’s big coverage expansion.

The federal report does not analyze the reasons for the coverage gains, but independent experts say the trend is because of the Obama health care law, boosted by economic recovery.

That poses a dilemma for Republi-

can presidential candidates. Indeed, a recent blueprint from a group of conservative policy experts for replacing the health law said Republicans will need some kind of “grandfathering exemption” to avoid disrupting the lives of people who have gained coverage through the Affordable Care Act. The new state numbers from the National Center for Health Statistics focus on adults ages 18 to 64. That’s because virtually all seniors have coverage, and fewer than 5 percent of children and teens are uninsured.

In addition to the eight states with statistically significant coverage gains, the report named another 10 with notable reductions in the percentage of uninsured residents. However, the changes in these states did not meet the survey’s test for statistical signifi-

cance.

That second group included Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island. Seven of those states have Republican governors.

Kentucky led the way among the states with statistically significant reductions in the share of residents uninsured, with a drop of 6.5 percentage points. The state’s new Republican governor, Matt Bevin, ran as a strong critic of Obama’s law and is now grappling with how to scale back his state’s involvement.

Another Republican-led state, Arizona, had the second-biggest reduction, a drop of 5.9 percentage points. New York followed, with a reduction of 5.6 percentage points.

Flint counsel: Manslaughter harshest charge possible

By DAVID EGGERT

The Associated Press

LANSING, Mich. – Flint’s water crisis, after a switch in the source allowed dangerous levels of lead and potentially caused deadly cases of Legionnaires’ disease, could result in criminal charges as serious as involuntary manslaughter, a top investigator said Tuesday.

The emergency will prompt Gov. Rick Snyder to propose another $195 million in aid in his annual budget proposal on Wednesday, including $25 million to potentially replace old lead and copper pipes. Snyder also plans to call for $165 million in funding for infrastructure needs across Michigan in the 2016-17 budget.

If approved by lawmakers, state spending on the Flint water disaster will top $232 million over this fiscal year and next.

Todd Flood, who was appointed as special counsel by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette last month because Schuette’s office is defending the state in civil lawsuits, said manslaughter charges could be on the table if government officials were grossly negligent in their handling of the city’s water change and the aftermath. The maximum prison sentence is 15 years.

“It’s not far-fetched,” Flood told reporters, pointing to similar charges against people for deaths on construction sites. He also reiterated the possibility of charges for misconduct in office.

Flood said it is possible no crimes were committed – instead just “honest mistakes” – unless authorities breached

Sunridge Apartments employee Rex Robinson (left) and Raymond Lavigne of Dixmoor unload a truck that carried cases of bottled water from Thornton Township on Saturday at Sunridge Apartments in Flint Township, Mich. their duty in a “grossly negligent way.”

Another factor is what officials did or failed to do after their mistakes.

“If I knew something bad was going on ... and I just want to turn my blind eye, that could be a problem,” said Flood, a former Wayne County assistant prosecutor who spoke at a news conference with the Republican attorney general and investigators.

Flint is under a state of emergency because of lead-tainted water. Outside experts also have suggested a link between the Flint River and a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak.

There were at least 87 cases across Genesee County during a 17-month pe-

riod, including nine deaths.

The city’s water supply was switched from the Detroit system to the Flint River as a cost-saving measure in 2014, when Flint was under state emergency financial management. It was an interim measure while a new pipeline to Lake Huron is being built. But the improperly treated river water caused lead to leach from old pipes.

If consumed, lead can cause developmental delays and learning disabilities.

Flint has since moved back to the Detroit system; officials hope anti-corrosion chemicals will recoat the pipes so it is safe to drink without filters within months.

Snyder, under fire for his administration’s role in the emergency, has accepted responsibility while also blaming local officials and federal environmental regulators.

U.S. regulators say Michigan officials ignored federal advice to treat Flint water for corrosion-causing elements last year and delayed for months before telling the public about the health risks. State officials counter that while the state should have required Flint to treat its water, the EPA did not display appropriate urgency and allowed the problem to fester for months.

“If you think about it, this is the biggest case in the history of the state of Michigan, right? And that’s what draws us to this is to get these people their answers,” said Andy Arena, the lead investigator who once led Detroit’s FBI office. He said at least 10 outside investigators are working on the probe.

Schuette said Tuesday that Michigan’s public-records law should be expanded to include the governor’s office because of the Flint disaster.

Snyder has voluntarily released his personal emails related to Flint from 2014 and 2015, but not his staff’s correspondence.

Flint’s mayor said Tuesday that a plan to remove and replace all lead water pipes in city homes will cost $55 million. Mayor Karen Weaver said households where residents are deemed to be high-risk will be given priority.

“We’re going to restore safe drinking water one house at a time, one child at a time,” she said. “All lead pipes need to be replaced. We deserve new pipes because we did not deserve what happened.”

FRESNO, Calif. – A new state report shows California farmers reaping record sales despite the epic drought, thriving even as city-dwellers have been forced to conserve water, household wells have run dry and fish have died.

California’s 76,400 farms recorded $53.5 billion in sales in 2014, the year Gov. Jerry Brown declared the state in a drought emergency and launched what in 2015 became mandatory conservation for cities and towns.

The sales figures are the most recent annual ones released by the state agriculture department.

With the punishing drought entering its fifth year, the figures are sure to stoke tensions between farmers on one side and, on the other, city-dwellers and environmentalists, who complain they are being forced to make greater sacrifices than growers.

Experts cite two key reasons for California farms’ strong showing

mond boom fed by surging demand from China and elsewhere, and farmers’ ability to dig deeper, bigger wells to pump up more groundwater when other sources run out.

The state report tracked sales, not profits.

Higher costs for water and other expenses of the drought outstripped sales for some farmers, but experts said it is clear many others made strong profits, as evidenced by the rush by growers and corporate investors to get into the almond business and take advantage of a run-up in prices.

Jay Lund, a water-resources researcher at the University of California at Davis and an influential voice in water policy in the state that is America’s agricultural powerhouse, said the sales figures show that California farmers are doing what they should be doing in a dry spell.

“To me it illustrates that you can actually have a fairly good job in managing water,” Lund said.

BEIRUT – As government troops close in on Aleppo, some residents are preparing to flee Syria’s largest city while others are hoarding food in case of a long siege, even laying out bread on rooftops to dry it out for storage.

The U.N. warned Tuesday that hundreds of thousands of people could be cut off from humanitarian aid as siege conditions tighten around the rebel-controlled eastern part of the city. The threat of starvation haunts Aleppo’s residents, who have seen images of emaciated children and adults from other blockaded parts of Syria. An estimated 1 million people are trapped in besieged areas, according to a report issued Tuesday by the Siege Watch project.

“There is a lot of fear, especially after people saw Madaya,” said opposition media activist Karam Almasri, referring to a besieged town in southern Syria.

“They don’t want the same to happen to them,” added Almasri, who lives in Aleppo’s war-ravaged neighborhood of Bustan al-Qasr. He and others spoke to The Associated Press via Skype or social media.

Aleppo looms large in Syria’s 5-year-

west and is exposed to heavy bombardment by the Russian air force. Those airstrikes are helping Syrian forces, supported by Iranian, Lebanese and Iraqi militias, to advance.

The only other routes to the north are blocked by militants from the Islamic State group and, to a lesser degree, by Kurdish forces. Aid operations also have been disrupted.

“We’ve been able to access Aleppo through the western route, but it’s become very risky,” said Dalia Al-Awqati, programs director for Mercy Corps in northern Syria.

The international relief organization provides food assistance to 66,000 people in eastern Aleppo.

The prewar population of the provincial capital exceeded 2.1 million, but there are no accurate statistics about how many people still live there. The U.N. estimates only 300,000 remain in the eastern part, warning that they could be cut off from aid if Syrian government and allied forces encircle the city and leave no way out.

“We are talking about very vulnerable families that have lived through years of conflict. The possibility of a siege is starting to wear very much on them,” al-Awqati said.

OUR VIEW

President’s message to Springfield President Barack Obama returns to Springfield to address a joint session of the Illinois General Assembly on Wednesday, nine years to the day from when he announced his candidacy for president in front of the Old State Capitol.

Obama will discuss “what we can do, together, to build a better politics – one that reflects our better selves,” according to the White House.

With less than a year remaining on his final term, the president might see it as a sentimental journey.

For Illinoisans trapped in a budget stalemate without end between warring political forces, sentimentality isn’t at the top of their agenda.

The lack of a state budget is.

When Obama takes to the podium shortly after noon in the State Capitol, it will be on the 225th day Illinois has operated without a state budget.

Obama, in last month’s State of the Union address, said one of the few regrets of his presidency was that “the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better.”

In such an atmosphere, legislative teamwork and compromise can’t possibly thrive.

We encourage President Obama to leverage his words into positive actions by his own Democratic legislative colleagues here in Illinois, so as to accommodate some of the proposals by a Republican governor – just as Obama hopes the Republican-controlled Congress in Washington will accommodate some of his proposals during his final year in office.

Obama’s State of the Union address, delivered last month, contains a paragraph that has attracted attention here. “... [I]f we want a better politics, ... we have to change the system to reflect our better selves. I think we’ve got to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters, and not the other way around. Let a bipartisan group do it.”

We call on the president to address the Legislature’s chronic avoidance of tough decisions and the need for redistricting reform.

After talking the talk, he then must walk the walk – by personally engaging with fellow Illinois Democrats to bring about an improved atmosphere for tackling and solving Illinois’ weighty problems.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Chipotle finally cleans up the kitchen Chipotle skipped lunch Monday so its 50,000 employees in the U.S. could watch a food-safety presentation.

The company, which makes much of its commitment to fresh ingredients, has been humiliated by a recent food poisoning outbreak that led to collapses in both its sales and shares.

This raises the question of whether the hygienic reforms the company is putting in place – including preparing many products at centralized commissaries rather than in each store’s kitchen, and blanching onions and other vegetables in hot water – will undermine Chipotle’s motto of providing “food with integrity.”

It shouldn’t. Keeping customers safe from foodborne illness should be high on the integrity checklist. In fact, the sorts of reforms Chipotle is making should be considered not just by rival restaurants, but also by school lunch programs – and, indeed,

by anyone whipping up locally sourced, grass-fed, farm-fresh, free-range, sustainable feasts in his or her own kitchen.

One of the most encouraging trends in American eating habits in recent years has been the emphasis on “farm-to-table” cooking. But it has drawbacks: Fresh, locally sourced food is too expensive for most Americans.

Eating only what is nearby and in season can limit a diet in unhealthful ways, and many of these products carry a unique set of risks of foodborne illness.

Pathogens such as E. coli, salmonella and listeria can thrive in raw vegetables, as evinced by recalls in recent years of cantaloupes, cucumbers and sprouts.

Many of these dangers have been addressed by the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture – and by Congress. The official approach focuses on large-scale commercial agriculture and relies too

heavily on self-regulation, but its underlying assumption is correct: “Processed” food is not de facto unhealthy. Foodies may groan about the heavy pasteurization of dairy products, pressure-cooking of canned goods, and irradiation of vegetables, but all those steps are safe and proven to help eliminate bacteria and parasites.

It’s hard not to feel a little Schadenfreude at Chipotle’s comeuppance, given its morally superior marketing and its fashionable but wrongheaded ban on genetically modified foods.

But in rethinking the way it prepares food, even at a potential cost to its image, the company deserves some credit. (So, too, for announcing it will spend millions to help its suppliers maintain safety standards.) These are lessons in food safety neither Chipotle’s competitors nor its customers can ignore.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Bates has passion

To the Editor: I met Kay Bates last year when I joined the McHenry Chamber of Commerce.

I have found Kay is passionate and dedicated to helping the business people in McHenry County with unconditional guidance. She welcomes you into her office at any time to openly discuss how she can be of assistance to help you to better your mission. Kay is at every event with a smile on her face, a song in her heart and an introduction to be made. She connects people to share information.

This past year has taught me to share your passion with others, and Kay is the prime example of such. She has knowledge, experience and a passion to help others, especially McHenry County. I could think of no one better to be on the County Board of McHenry District 4.

Schofield is most qualified

To the Editor: I am a lifelong resident of the area and have known Carolyn Schofield on a personal and professional level for more than 10 years.

She is the most qualified candidate to serve as our state representative. Carolyn is entrenched in the community and region, having held numerous leadership positions at the local and county levels of government.

Visit www.citizensforcarolynschofield. com for a listing of her many accomplishments.

Retiring state Rep. Mike Tryon and McHenry County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller endorse Carolyn because they have seen firsthand her ability to put politics aside and make the best and most informed decisions for her constituents. She takes a common-sense approach when addressing all issues; begins with an open mind, listens to all sides and viewpoints, does her homework, and ultimately chooses what is best for taxpayers.

Talk to Carolyn for five minutes, and you’ll understand why she is the best candidate.

Quotes suggest otherwise

To the Editor: It’s been said we can learn from our past, but it’s also been said history repeats itself.

So if history repeats itself, does that mean we really don’t learn from the past?

Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days.

Election-related letters are limited to 150 words. The deadline to submit an election-related letter is 5 p.m.

Here are just two of the millions of historical quotes I found that seem to suggest that we don’t learn from our past, and that history does seem to repeat itself.

The first quote: “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”

The second quote: “This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration.

Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!”

Who would have thought quotes from Adolf Hitler would be so applicable today? I’m just glad today’s politicians don’t have the same type of horrific agenda in mind.

Health center response

To the Editor: It is dismaying to see a community lose out on all of the benefits that a schoolbased health center (SBHC) can offer (“Woodstock School District 200 health clinic nixed over parental consent issue,” Jan. 27).

Adolescents remain one of the United States’ most medically underserved populations and experience poorer sexual and reproductive health outcomes compared with adolescents in other developed countries. Many SBHCs offer adolescent sexual and reproductive health services that address the issues of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. These services are aligned with national standards and are in accordance with local policies.

However, SBHCs do so much more than provide reproductive health services. They provide students access to health care in a location that is safe, convenient and accessible: their school.

Many communities across the country have found ways to bring in SBHCs while addressing parents’ concerns. It’s a shame that Woodstock will miss out on

To the Editor: Judge James Cowlin has served as an associate circuit judge in McHenry County since 2008.

We do not have to guess, assume or hope he will be an effective judge if elected as a circuit court judge. We already know.

For the past eight years, he has demonstrated judicial qualities of even temperament, fairness and knowledge of the law. He is prepared each day for the cases on his docket. He has reviewed the pleadings that are to be heard in his courtroom. He understands the issues.

He is respectful to the attorneys and unrepresented litigants who appear before him. He has knowledge and experience in civil and criminal law, and he is respected by attorneys who have practiced alongside him and who now appear before him.

I strongly urge a vote for Judge Cowlin as circuit court judge so he can continue serving McHenry County.

opposing this is beyond my comprehension unless I acknowledge there is a monetary gain for her family pensions and taxpayer-funded paychecks.

Yvonne Barnes represents us every time. Her voting record is consistent in reducing costs through organizational efficiencies, shared programming and elimination of wasteful spending. Her work resulted in lower expenses across departments and reduced collections from us. Yvonne’s voting record ensures transparency and public access to information.

Yvonne is a full-time advocate for us and leads the board with 99 percent attendance. Read the attendance on the county website before you vote for any other person. Low attendance means they are too busy to do the job.

Paisano’s owner opens sandwich shop, crab shack in Richmond

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

RICHMOND – The owner behind the popular Paisano’s On Broadway in Richmond admittedly feels bored since his veteran employees – some with 20- and 30-year tenures – are more than capable at managing the sit-down Italian eatery.

So on Tuesday, Phil Gilardi officially made his work schedule a bit busier, opening his second restaurant in Richmond called Panino’s Italian Sandwiches and Crab Shack a few hundred feet away from Paisano’s along Broadway Road.

“It doesn’t take a lot for me to run the other place. This gives me something to do,”

Gilardi said with a laugh.

The lunch and dinner place located within a converted historic home in Richmond should provide the quaint downtown with a quality sandwich shop, Gilardi said.

After 4 p.m., Panino’s starts selling crab legs, clams, oysters and “anything with a shell” to diversify the menu for dinner, he said.

Panino’s sandwiches, offered daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., include a classic Italian sub, Italian beef, brisket burger and other Italian-inspired dishes. Customers can dine in or carry out.

The combination sandwich shop and crab shack features some of Gilardi’s favorite meals. He partnered with Richmond residents Victor

Mares and Shayne O’Leary to launch Panino’s in the village.

“It appeals to me,” Gilardi said. “What I like, other people are going to like. I already proved it next door with Paisano’s.”

A longtime restaurateur with a family history tied to the food service business, Gilardi opened Paisano’s in 2006 upon relocating to the Richmond area. A year earlier, he sold the former Gilardi’s he ran for years in Vernon Hills to his son Phil Gilardi, Jr., who has operated the Italian restaurant under the name Philly G’s ever since.

His son also opened a sports bar and restaurant in 2013 called Tavern on 60 in Mundelein. The Gilardi’s pride themselves on their food, the

owner of Panino’s and Paisano’s said, having learned the family’s Italian recipes from his mom and grandma.

For his latest creation in Richmond, Gilardi purchased an old home along Broadway Road and knocked down everything except the front wall as part of a six-month renovation to prepare Panino’s for business.

The restaurant sports an open concept and features exposed wood, some of which original to the home and dating back 140 years, Gilardi said. The amenities inside Panino’s often feature an old-fashioned look, an atmosphere Gilardi said he wanted to create for customers looking for sandwiches and seafood in Richmond.

HOFFMAN ESTATES – Sears keeps pruning its business in a years-long makeover, a bid to transform itself from a 123-year-old retail store into a nimble, 21st century operator.

Patience appears to be wearing thin. Shares slid early Tuesday to 13-year lows after the company said it would accelerate the closure of some of its stores following a “challenging” holiday season. The company’s stock is down 20 percent this year, and they’ve been cut in half in the past 12 months.

Comparable-store sales in the fourth quarter dropped 6.9 percent at Sears, and 7.2 percent at Kmart, which the company also owns. That’s a key indicator of a retailer’s health because it excludes the volatility from stores recently opened or closed.

While the quarter that contains the critical shopping season was better compared with the previous three quarters, overall same-store sales fell 9.2 percent in 2015, with Sears stores leading the decline.

“The holiday selling season proved to be challenging, with historically warm weather and intense competition pressuring margins and driving comparable store-sales declines,” the company said in a printed

Sears Holdings Corp. has struggled for years with weakening sales, unable to keep up with companies that sell appliances, like Home Depot, or general merchandise, like WalMart, or everything, as is the case with Amazon.com.

It has spent years trying to modernize stores that are decades old, while chasing sales that have increasingly migrated online.

In a bid to turn around its clothing business, Sears said Tuesday it would shake up its sourcing, pricing and inventory.

As for store closures, Sears said it will include, but not be limited to, about 50 stores that the company recently announced it would be shuttering in the next few months.

The company will attempt at least $300 million in asset sales during the first half of

fiscal 2016. Sears also still is looking at options for its auto center business, which could include a sale of all or part of the operations.

Sears said Tuesday it has reduced its debt by about $1 billion compared with 2014, and anticipates fourth-quarter revenue of $7.3 billion and fullyear revenue of $25.1 billion.

The retailer will release its quarterly and full-year financial results on Feb. 25.

Local accountant expands tax services into 2 locations

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

ALGONQUIN – As tax season amps up, a local tax accountant has made it easier for residents to meet the April 18 filing date by expanding his business into two locations.

Martin Wojtulewicz, a Crystal Lake resident, recently started CPA Advisors Group after he bought an accounting firm in Rolling Meadows and relocated his Carpentersville-based firm to

an office space in Algonquin.

CPA Advisors Group’s two locations allows Wojtulewicz to service more clients throughout the Chicago area, as he looks to expand his accounting services and extend his personal approach many customers prefer.

“We pride ourselves on explaining their tax return and telling them what’s in it,” Wojtulewicz said. “We want to welcome anybody who is lost. There are a lot of business owners who don’t know

where to go.”

The group’s Algonquin location, 2390 Esplanade Drive, Suite 206, services clients from areas such as Crystal Lake, Elgin and Lake in the Hills. The Rolling Meadows location, 1645 Hicks Road, Suite N, services people from the western suburbs and Chicago.

The group employs four people full time at its two locations. Wojtulewicz recently added three temporary workers to help meet demand

during tax season.

The new firm works with numerous corporations and individuals, offering auditing, bookkeeping, tax consulting and preparation services.

Wojtulewicz started Martax Company in Barrington in 2003 before moving the business to Carpentersville in 2007. Under his expanded business, CPA Advisors Group possibly could add other accounting services to service additional customers, he said.

Taylor Swift leads with 8 iHeartRadio Award nominations NEW YORK – Taylor Swift leads the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards with eight nominations, followed by The Weeknd with seven.

The nominations were announced Tuesday by iHeartMedia and Turner.

The event will be televised live from Los Angeles on April 3 on TBS, TNT and truTV and aired on iHeartMedia stations and the iHeartRadio digital music platform.

Swift’s album, “1989,” The Weeknd’s “Beauty Behind the Madness,” Adele’s “25,” Sam Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour,” and Ed Sheeran’s “X’’ are nominated for album of the year, a new category this year. Fetty Wap, Hozier, Sam Hunt, Shawn Mendes and Tove Lo are vying for best new artist.

Country singer Thomas Rhett is nominated for country artist of the year and the fan-voted best lyrics category for his song “Die A Happy Man.” “To be recognized by iHeartRadio with these award nominations is huge – especially the multi-genre lyric nomination for ‘Die A Happy Man’ – which is such a personal song to me and my wife,” Rhett said in a statement. “iHeartRadio continues to bring fans and artists one step closer together and I’m honored to be a part of it!”

This year, the artist of the year category has been split into separate male and female categories, and new genre-specific artist of the year awards have been added as well as Latin and regional Mexican music categories.

Performers on the show will include Justin Bieber and Meghan Trainor.

Ticket presales for the awards show begin Wednesday at www.iheartradio. com/capitalone for Capitol One cardholders.

Fans can visit iheartradio.com/awards to vote.

LOS ANGELES – Music publisher Warner/ Chappell Music will return $14 million in fees to settle a lawsuit that challenges its claim to “Happy Birthday,” one of the world’s bestknown songs.

A federal judge ruled in September that Warner/Chappell didn’t own the lyrics and had no right to charge for their use.

The Los Angeles Times cited court documents released Monday that outline terms of a settlement reached in December. Under the deal, Warner/Chappell will give up its claims to the ubiquitous song and reimburse those who paid licensing fees.

The settlement was announced as a trial was set to begin. The lawsuit called on the publisher to return fees collected over the years for use of the song in movies and other commercial ventures. The deal is tentative pending a judge’s approval.

Bill Cosby’s ex-lawyer dismissed from lawsuit

LOS ANGELES – A judge on Tuesday dismissed model Janice Dickinson’s defamation claim filed against Bill Cosby’s former lawyer for denying her allegations that the comedian had drugged and raped her in 1982.

However, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Debre Katz Weintraub did not dismiss defamation allegations made against Cosby in the same lawsuit.

Weintraub ruled that Dickinson cannot sue attorney Martin Singer because his denial of her allegations was known to her at the time

she sued Cosby in May. Dickinson’s lawyers later amended her lawsuit to add the defamation allegations against Singer.

“We are very pleased with the ruling,” Singer’s attorney Andrew Brettler said. “We believe the court got it right.”

Also on Tuesday, Cosby’s lawyers asked that a separate defamation lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts be put on hold while he defends himself in a criminal case in Pennsylvania, where he is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.

Garner urges lawmakers to fund children’s program

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner is asking Kentucky lawmakers to spend $1 million on an early-childhood education program.

The star of the TV show “Alias” and movies including “Juno” and “Dallas Buyers Club” testified before the House budget committee on Tuesday on behalf of Save The Children.

Garner said the program works well in Kentucky, offering literacy and other development programs for children.

Lawmakers said they support the program but noted the state does not have much money to spend because of shortfalls in public pension programs.

Garner is from West Virginia. She testified along with Mark Shriver, Save The Children Action Network president and a nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy. She also is scheduled to meet with Gov. Matt Bevin.

By REBECCA SANTANA NEW ORLEANS – Dressed in elaborate costumes, dancing to the beat of brass bands and clamoring for beads from passing floats, thousands of people gathered in the streets of New Orleans to mark the culmination of the famous Mardi Gras celebration Tuesday.

The last day of parades rolled along St. Charles Avenue and Canal Street, float riders throwing beads to bystanders as revelers in other parts of the city such as the French Quarter and the Marigny partied in the streets in elaborate costumes. Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Carnival season before Lent, a period of penance and spiritual renewal, begins Wednesday.

“It’s fun. You see all the people. You see everybody dressed up, and you have a good time. I love New Orleans,” said Barbara Tate, who came down from Maryland for the holiday.

New Orleans. Their parade dates back to roughly 1910, and is followed by the Rex Organization’s parade, which dates back to 1872. Rex’s history is closely tied with Mardi Gras traditions. For example, Rex’s colors – purple, green and gold – have become the symbolic colors of Mardi Gras as well. The two truck parades that follow Rex mark the end of the major parades in the city until 2017.

After the parades, the street party generally moves to the French Quarter, where revelers pack Bourbon Street and the celebration gets a bit more risque.

The festivities come to an end at the stroke of midnight when a police officers ride down Bourbon to clear it of revelers and declare the party over.

Get the facts about gene editing

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Britain’s decision to allow researchers to edit the genes of human embryos – not to create babies but to start unraveling the earliest stages of development – is raising new questions about the ethics of this hot new technology.

Genome editing is a technique that lets scientists alter the DNA of plants, animals or humans more precisely than ever before, much like a biological cut-and-paste program. Scientists say one day the technique might help treat devastating inherited diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, or wipe out malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

But one concern is gene editing also eventually might lead to so-called designer babies. Here’s a look at the science and controversy:

What is gene editing?

While scientists long have been able to find defective genes, fixing them has been so cumbersome it’s slowed development of genetic therapies. With gene editing, scientists home in on a piece of DNA and use molecular tools that act as scissors to snip that spot – deleting a defective gene, repairing it or replacing it.

There are some older methods, but a new tool called CRISPR-Cas9 has been adopted by laboratories worldwide because it’s faster, cheaper, simple enough to use with minimal training and allows altering of multiple genes simultaneously.

What it might treat

The biggest use so far is to rapidly engineer animals with human-like disorders for basic research, but promising gene-editing experiments make regular headlines.

Much like a bone marrow transplant, researchers hope to use CRISPR for diseases such as sickle cell, correcting the faulty gene in someone’s own blood-producing cells rather than implanting donated ones.

Similarly, doctors in Britain recently treated a 1-year-old with leukemia using donated immune cells that had been experimentally altered with an older editing method to target her cancer. A California company is testing a non-CRISPR way to make HIV patients’ immune cells better resist the virus.

The University of Massachusetts just reported using a CRISPR tech-

Embryos are placed onto a CryoLeaf ready for instant freezing using the vitrification process. On Feb. 1, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, Britain’s fertility regulator, approved a scientist’s application to edit the human genetic code using a new technique some fear crosses too many ethical boundaries. nique to switch off, rather than cut and repair, a gene in muscle cells that causes one form of muscular dystrophy.

And Harvard researchers recently edited 62 spots in pig DNA, part of work to use the animals to grow organs for human transplant.

The biggest hurdle

Safety is a key question because gene editing isn’t always precise enough; there’s the possibility of accidentally cutting DNA that’s similar to the real target. Out-of-body treatments, such as altering blood cells, get around the fear of fixing one problem only to spark another, and efforts to improve precision are underway.

The ethics controversy

Altering genes in sperm, eggs or embryos can spread those changes to future generations, so-called germline engineering that one day might stop parents from passing inherited diseases to their children.

Chinese scientists reported the first-known attempt to edit human

embryos last spring, working with leftovers from fertility clinics that never could have developed into fetuses. They aimed to correct a deadly inherited gene but uncovered problems that will require more research.

Among the ethical concerns are that future generations couldn’t consent, and any long-term negative effects might not become apparent for years. There’s also concern about babies designed for better intellect, athleticism or appearance rather than to prevent disease.

In December, international scientists and ethicists gathered at the U.S. National Academy of Sciences declared that while gene-editing is nowhere near ready to use for pregnancy, altering early embryos as part of careful laboratory research should be allowed even as society grapples with the ethical questions.

Recently, Britain’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority announced it was granting permission for that kind of laboratory research at the Francis Crick Institute, a study of

the genes human embryos need to develop properly in the first seven days.

Is it legal?

Where you live determines if, or what kind of, research can be performed on embryos. Some countries, especially in Europe, ban germline research. Others, such as China, have guidelines described as unenforceable.

Britain allows basic lab research only.

In the U.S., the NIH won’t fund research involving germline editing, but private funding is allowed.

Beyond medicine

Human gene editing aside, there are environmental concerns, too.

Experiments are underway to force genetic changes to spread rapidly through populations of animals and plants – changes that could wipe out invasive species or disease-carrying insects. A California team recently reported a first step, hatching malaria-resistant mosquitoes that easily could spread their new protective gene to their offspring.

going back to sleep, Rohan said.

“What is unique about this form of depression is that it follows a seasonal pattern,’’ Rohan said. “A winter-type SAD person feels the very best in the summer. There is a very slim minority of patients who are depressed in the summer and feel best in the winter, mostly because of a sensitivity to heat and humidity, but most experience SAD in the winter. We see dramatic changes in behavior. These people don’t interact with others, sometimes they don’t even answer the phone.

They go into hibernation mode.’’

In her study, funded by a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, 177 people with SAD were treated with six weeks of either light therapy – timed, daily exposure to bright artificial light of specific wavelengths using a light box – or a special form of CBT, with 90-minute group therapy sessions twice a week.

The latter group learned to challenge negative thoughts about dark winter months and to resist certain behaviors such as avoiding social contact.

“We developed a CBT protocol specific to seasonal depression,’’ Rohan said. “The cognitive part involves having people write down their thoughts and examine them in less negative

ways. When you engage in that process – recognizing and challenging these negative thoughts – your mood improves.’’

The behavioral piece of the treatment encouraged participants to resist “spending a lot of time indoors under a blanket and cutting themselves off from social contact’’ by activities such as getting out of the house to exercise, for example, and interacting more with friends and family.

“We have them try to take baby steps to get out of that negative mode,’’ Rohan said. “We encourage them to think about things they might be able to do in the winter, even though it does take more effort. Short of lying on a beach, there are things you can do. For example, maybe you like to garden, so perhaps you could start cultivating bulbs indoors.’’

The cognitive and behavioral aspects “work in tandem by changing thoughts and actions, and they put a dent in the depression,’’ she said.

Two winters after the initial treatment, 46 percent in the light-therapy group reported a recurrence of depression, compared with 27 percent in the CBT group. Symptoms also were more severe in the light-therapy group, according to the study.

Many of us, myself included, dread that Sunday every fall when we must turn the clocks back and sunset comes early. (I’d rather curse the darkness than light a single candle.) I miss being outdoors in the evening, walking or playing with my dogs, and I hate driving in the dark, when I don’t see as well.

But these reactions are mild compared with what some people experience. For the more than 14 million Americans (an estimate extrapolated from research surveys) with seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, the onset of shorter, darker days can trigger a far more serious reaction.

This is real depression, with symptoms that can be crippling: While some researchers dispute that winter per se is the cause, many studies have found specific seasonal symptoms as the light wanes: profound melancholy, loss of interest in otherwise enjoyable activities, social isolation, significant sleep and/or appetite changes, difficulty concentrating and, in extreme cases, thoughts of suicide.

For years, the gold standard of treatment for SAD has been regular

exposure to artificial light, an effective approach as long as people consistently use it. Patients also sometimes take antidepressants to ease their symptoms; Wellbutrin XL is the only drug specifically approved to treat SAD, although some clinicians also prescribe selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, such as Zoloft and Prozac.

But a recent study found traditional talk therapy actually may work better over time, especially in preventing relapses.

“Light therapy is a palliative treatment, like blood pressure medication, that requires you to keep using the treatment to be effective,’’ said Kelly Rohan, a professor of psychology at the University of Vermont and author of the study, published last fall in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

By contrast, cognitive behavior therapy, or CBT, is a preventive approach that teaches people to recognize and challenge their negative thoughts, and replace them with positive feelings and actions. “It’s great progress to get someone with SAD to think, ‘I prefer summer to winter’ than ‘I hate winter,’ and encourage them to engage in proactive behavior,’’ such as getting out of bed on a dark morning to exercise rather than

If you would feel better keeping a close eye on your daughter’s interactions with males until she’s old enough to know what kind of touches are appropriate and which ones are not, that’s your privilege.

Jenny feels Madison screwed up her life and, even though she’s about to marry my son, she doesn’t want to reward Madison by asking her to be in the wedding. My daughter says if she’s not in the wedding she won’t attend, and won’t allow her son (by Axel) to be the ring bearer, either.

Parents should set good example for children who are overweight Dear Dr. K: My 12-year-old is overweight.

How can I help him achieve a healthy weight without making him feel deprived?

Dear Reader: Being overweight makes it hard for a child to keep up with friends on the playground. And the teasing can be merciless. What’s more, kids who are overweight are at greater risk for lots of health problems as teens and later in life.

Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease as adults.

Long-term obesity also increases the risk of arthritis, diabetes and certain kinds of cancer.

The best way to help your son get back to a healthy weight is to get your entire family to exercise regularly and eat a sensible diet.

Your son is less likely to feel deprived if his food and activities are the same as the rest of the family.

Here are some specific tips: • Encourage at least one hour of exercise every day.

• Plan family activities that involve exercise. Try bicycling, walking, hiking and swimming.

• Limit television, computer and video game time to no more than one to two hours a day.

• Switch to low-fat or nonfat milk (except for children younger than 2 years old and women trying to become pregnant) and reduced-fat cheeses and yogurts.

• Drink water instead of soda or juice.

• Limit fried and high-fat foods.

• Use low-fat cooking methods such as baking, steaming, boiling, grilling and broiling.

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Try to eat at least five servings each day of fruits and vegetables.

• Keep a variety of fruits and vegetables on hand. Serve them as snacks instead of cookies, chips, ice cream or other high-fat foods.

• Trim visible fat from meat and remove skin from poultry before cooking.

• When eating out, encourage the family to choose lower-fat items, such as a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a fried burger or pasta with tomato sauce instead of pepperoni pizza.

Never severely restrict your child’s calories. Children who are overweight still need three well-balanced meals and one or two nutritious snacks each day to have enough energy to learn, play and grow to their full potential. In addition, children should not follow fad diets, which might not have important nutrients children require.

If you need more guidance, your pediatrician can refer you to a nutritionist or registered dietician.

There are two main messages here. First, overweight children are at increased risk of several diseases later in life. Second, children are much more likely to behave in a certain way if they see you behaving that way.

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprimised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

Gators don’t back down

CLS hangs on in 2nd-place FVC crossover

By ALEX KANTECKI

From Twitter @WNHS_baseball

akantecki@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Much earlier in the season, the Crystal Lake South girls basketball team might have found a way to lose a tight game in the closing minutes – especially against a team as physical and athletic as Prairie Ridge.

“We came in with the mindset that we needed to play tough and match [Prairie Ridge],” junior Taylor Jozefowicz said about facing the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division co-champions for a second time Tuesday. “At the beginning of the season, we kind of backed off.

We couldn’t do that again.”

The Gators, who have come a long way since a season-opening loss to Prairie Ridge in mid-November, had no such problems closing against their crosstown rivals Tuesday. Behind 15 points from Chanel Fanter and 13 from Jozefowicz, the Gators held on for a 38-37 win in the second-place FVC crossover game hosted at Prairie Ridge.

South (21-9), which finished runner-up to Huntley in the FVC Valley for the second straight year, turned the ball over only twice in the fourth quarter as the Wolves (18-10) mounted a comeback.

“They are a physical team, and we knew we had to stay calm, cool and collected and just work the ball around,” said Fanter, who had four critical rebounds in the fourth and was 6 of 10 from the free-throw line. “We definitely wanted to redeem ourselves. Since that first game, we’ve learned to play with each other a lot better and I think it showed tonight.”

The Gators led, 29-22, after the third, but Nicole Dorn’s corner 3-pointer with 30.6 seconds left in the fourth cut what had been a seven-point lead to two, 37-35.

Jozefowicz hit 1 of 2 free throws with 26.3 seconds remaining before Kirsten VoelPel had a rebound and basket for Prairie Ridge as time ran out on the Wolves.

Annika Sevcik added eight points and eight rebounds for South.

“Prairie Ridge is a very athletic team. They give you pressure, and we’re still trying to get better at that,” Gators coach Mark Mucha said. “That’s been our Achilles’ heel so far, is handling pressure late. I think every time we’ve seen it, we’re taking it one step further

Both teams were playing their final game before the postseason starts. South and Prairie Ridge could meet for a third

time if they both advance to the Class 4A McHenry Regional final. Mucha said the Gators were playing to win and not afraid to show Prairie Ridge everything it had.

“It doesn’t change much at all,” the second-year coach said about facing a potential playoff opponent. “We wanted to show them everything because we wanted to know how they adjusted. It’s not like we were hiding anything. We came here and we wanted to win the game, end the regular season on a high note and avenge that first loss.”

Voel-Pel scored six points in the fourth and led the Wolves on senior night with 12 points and eight rebounds, Aly Clark added eight points, and freshman Sammi Lockwood came off the bench with six points and nine rebounds.

“I thought we were a little tight in the beginning and got off to a slow start,” said Wolves coach Rick Lima, who has coached the past nine games after Rob Baker resigned. “It was an upward climb the rest of the way. Our kids, the whole year, they fight all the way to the end.

And I knew we’d have a shot, but the clock ran out on us.”

Really?

CBS Sports reported that SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has asked the NCAA to ban schools from holding practice over spring break after Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh announced plans for the Wolverines to practice at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, over its spring break.

We don’t play a lot of teams that are tough like that, so it was a tough game but we played really well.”

Nikki Dumoulin added six points for the Whip-Purs (19-8).

After being tied 16-16 at halftime, it was a three-point play by Benoit that gave the Whip-Purs a 19-17 lead early in the third quarter. They never trailed again, leading by five at the end of the third quarter and as many as 12 in the fourth.

“Credit to Hampshire. Just want to give them the credit,” D-C coach Sarah Miller said. “We’ve been struggling the last four games with playing tough.

And I think that’s a credit to them. They played with contact. They weren’t afraid to attack the basket.”

Barker finished with a team-high 13 points. Allison Michalski scored eight points and Paige Gieseke added five for

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Crystal Lake Central (13-4, 6-0 Fox Valley Conference Fox): The Tigers won the Harvard Regional by placing seven wrestlers in the championship finals, three winning titles, and eight qualifying for this weekend’s Antioch Sectional. Lenny Petersen (138), Michael Petersen (145) and Austin Parks (220) won regional titles for the Tigers. Parks moved to 220 after wrestling 195 most of the year because coach Justen Lehr said they think it gives him a better shot at reaching a state final.

2. Jacobs (15-0, 5-0 FVC Valley): The Golden Eagles took second place at the Class 3A DeKalb Regional. Beau Harrier (113), Chris Dranka (138) and Dean Lane (160) all won individual titles to lead Jacobs’ eight sectional qualifiers.

3. Prairie Ridge (16-2, 5-1 FVC Fox): The Wolves finished second at the Harvard Regional with six wrestlers advancing to sectionals.

Prairie Ridge was led by Piotrowski and Jace Sparks winning individual titles.

4. Huntley (19-7, 4-1 FVC Valley): The Red Raiders didn’t have their best day at the DeKalb Regional, finishing fourth with Josh Stenger (120) winning their lone individual title. Despite not having as many winners, Huntley will send seven to sectionals.

5. Harvard 19-11 (6-1 Big Northern Conference East): The Hornets had six wrestlers qualify for sectionals with Josh Fiegel (113) and Sergio Esquivel (120) winning individual titles, three wrestlers finishing second and one more coming in third.

NOTEWORTHY Regionals only first step: For many of the area’s top wrestlers, winning a regional title is only the beginning of what they hope to be an extended postseason. Here’s what some repeat regional champions from the Harvard Regional had to say: Harvard’s Josh Fiegel: “It feels good, but still it’s one step on the totem pole to where I want to be.”

Prairie Ridge’s Piotrowski: “Definitely feels good, one step closer to state.”

Woodstock’s Nicholas Sundberg: “This was the plan all along, let’s hope I can keep doing it.”

Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny Petersen: “This is my third year in a row winning this tournament, so it feels like what should be happening, winning.”

Brothers advancing: Three local sets of brothers advanced to sectionals. Crystal Lake Central had two of the pairs in Lenny and Mi-

HAMPSHIRE – When DundeeCrown’s Melissa Barker hit two 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the first half Tuesday, Hampshire coach Mike Featherly thought they might be in trouble. The Whip-Purs knew “exactly what kind of threat she was,” and with her first two field goals of the game she had tied the score at the break.

Hampshire, however, came out in the second half and kept Emma Benoit Barker under wraps for the most part. The improved defense, along with a steady offense led by senior Emma Benoit, helped the Whip-Purs beat the Chargers, 38-29, in a Fox Valley Conference crossover game Tuesday night.

“Defensively, we played way better second half,” Featherly said. “[Barker] had a 6-0 run in about, felt like two seconds. We changed up our defense I thought a little bit and our girls stepped up. She only had two in the second half.

I thought defense really propelled our offense.”

The Hampshire defense did the job all night, holding D-C to seven field goals.

On offense, it was Benoit’s play in the post that propelled the hosts.

“I give her a lot of credit for keeping her composure,” Featherly said. “I feel like she battles so hard down low. Maybe because she’s taller, I don’t know, but she doesn’t get a lot of the – they bang her a little bit, they knock her around a little bit and she keeps going, she doesn’t get frustrated, she doesn’t pout or anything like that, she keeps going. That steady presence is great to have for a team.”

Benoit scored a game-high 17 points against a strong Chargers front line.

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: GENOA-KINGSTON 60, RICHMOND-BURTON 42

Kaufman’s 16 points not enough for R-B

By EDDIE CARIFIO

ecarifio@shawmedia.com GENOA – Because of foul trouble, Genoa-Kingston had to play without leading scorer Tommy Lucca for a quarter against Richmond-Burton on Tuesday.

R-B played the entire game without Blaine Bayer because of an injury. Without their star, the Rockets lost to the Cogs, 60-42, despite a 16-point night from Jake Kaufman.

The Rockets (9-15 overall, 3-6 Big Northern Conference East) never led, surrendering the first seven points of the game to the Cogs (13-8, 7-2). The Cogs led by six early in the second quarter but pushed the lead to 31-11, closing a larger 15-1 run with a 10-0 surge.

“Its tough. They’re a good team and I thought we played OK, but not real well,” coach Brandon Creason said. “In that second quarter, they weren’t missing a shot, which helps.

And we didn’t shoot it well again.

He’s our leading scorer. Not having him was tough, because it puts some kids in some different positions.”

G-K coach Corey Jenkins said the Cogs were focused on slowing Kaufman down.

“We were pretty concerned about Kaufman, and I see he had 16,” Jenkins said. “He had to work for those 16.”

“I think we maxed out what we were capable of at that point,” Creason said. “I don’t know that we were – I mean we got some shots up, and we did a good job defensively that quarter.”

Lucca scored only five for the Cogs, all in the second quarter. Brandon Foley scored a team-high 12.

“We don’t press the panic button (when Lucca had to sit out),” Jenkins said. “We have plenty of guys who are capable of stepping in and handling the ball. They do it collectively with Bailey (Foley), Zach (Miller), Brandon (Foley) and Justin (McNeal).

They are all guys who can handle the ball for us.

“We just have to believe we can do it, and that’s been our biggest problem in years past. Now that they’re varsity level players, they see they can do it. We know we can play without him, but it’s a whole lot easier when he’s on the floor and we’re playing with him.”

Mark Marzahi added eight for the Rockets, and Josh Hansel had a game-high five rebounds.

ABOVE: Jacobs’ Ryan Phillips tips the ball to himself as he tries for a rebound over St. Charles North’s Anthony Delisi on Tuesday in St. Charles. BELOW: Jacobs’ Cameron Krutwig (right) guards St. Charles North’s Kyle King.

14 rebounds were more than enough to draw multiple North Stars defenders on every catch. His passing ability often is an overlooked part of his game, and despite finding the correct pass most of the night, shots just weren’t falling Tuesday night.

“He’s such a good passer,” North coach Tom Poulin said of Krutwig.

“He throws that skip pass and it gets there so quick that you don’t have time to recover. They have multiple shooters, and luckily they didn’t shoot real well tonight. They made a few in the second half but thought we got better at rotating to whoever [Krutwig] kicked the ball to as the game went on.”

The sophomore Balkcom finished with 11 points, while Kyle Ross added eight for the Golden Eagles.

Woodstock North’s Haley Ahr reached 1,000 points for her career in the Thunder’s 49-38 girls basketball loss to Cary-Grove in Fox Valley Conference crossover play Tuesday at Woodstock.

Katie Sowa led the Trojans with 16 points, and Olivia Miller added 14.

Ahr got her 1,000th point after converting both free throws of a one-and-one with 16 seconds left in the game. Ahr left the game in the third quarter with a bloody nose but returned to reach the milestone. Ahr led the Thunder with 14 points and is the all-time leading scorer at Woodstock North.

The Trojans are 7-1 in their past eight games.

McHenry 51, Woodstock 48: At Woodstock, the Warriors made up a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat Woodstock in FVC crossover play. The Warriors had three steals, with each resulting in points, in the final minute to come back for the win. Izzy Gscheidle led McHenry with 18 points and five 3-pointers. Liz Alsot had 12 points and 11 rebounds for McHenry.

Jeni Crain led the Blue Streaks with 22 points, and Gabriella Scolio added nine.

Grayslake North 53, Jacobs 32: At Grayslake, the Golden Eagles fell in FVC crossover play. Jacobs was outscored 26-12 in the first half. Talia Surges led Jacobs with 11 points, and Teaghan Richman added eight.

Burlington Central 63, Richmond-Burton 29: At Richmond, Richmond-Burton (12-13) lost in Big Northern Conference East Division play. Burlington Central pulled away in the second quarter, outscoring R-B, 26-5. Allie Hogan led R-B with 11 points, and KC Davids added eight.

Hornets outscored North Boone, 43-29, in the second half to earn a BNC East win. Ryo Fog led Harvard with 24 points and three 3-pointers, and Roy Amaya added 23 points and four 3-pointers.

Tyler Perkins finished with 14 points for Harvard.

Rockford Christian 67, Johnsburg 47: At Rockford, Tanner Kreassig led the Skyhawks (11-15) with 12 points in a BNC East loss. Michael Shelton and Joe Bein each added 10 points for Johnsburg.

Marian Central 58, Willowbrook 55: At Woodstock, the Hurricanes outscored Willowbrook, 27-16, in the fourth quarter to come back and win in nonconference play. Adam Pischke led Marian with 27 points, including going 16 of 16 from the free-throw line. Thomas Kaufmann added 16 points for the Hurricanes.

Woodstock North 45, Harvest Christian 31: At Elgin, Vic Ortiz scored 22 points to lead the Thunder to a nonconference win. Ortiz hit four 3-pointers. Collin Mergl had eight points, and Caleb Labude added seven.

ST. CHARLES – “You have to put the ball in the basket.”

Jimmy Roberts seems to have established what his Jacobs boys basketball team needs to do to be successful. The Golden Eagles did not do that enough Tuesday night against St. Charles North.

Despite a 3-pointer by Nikolas Balkcom as time expired to force overtime, Jacobs couldn’t carry the momentum into the extra period and lost on the road to St. Charles North, 53-46, in overtime of the nonconference matchup.

“I mean [shooting the way we did] isn’t going to do it,” Roberts said. “Everyone is going to collapse on [Cameron Krutwig] inside, and it’s a shooter’s dream.

We did enough defensively to give ourselves a chance to win tonight, but we didn’t make enough shots.

That’s the story.”

One shot that did find the bottom of the net was Balkcom’s 3-pointer.

After two free throws by North (513) stretched the Jacobs deficit to three points with 10 seconds left, Golden Eagles junior Mason Materna kicked out an offensive rebound to Balkcom, who jumped behind the 3-point arc in the left corner and hit nothing but net as the buzzer sounded.

“It felt really good, but it means nothing now,” Balkcom said. “It’s just another shot in a loss. It would have felt a lot better had we been able to get the win, but now it’s just another shot. Even though that went in, we couldn’t hit shots before or after that. It’s definitely a tough loss to swallow.”

Those struggles from behind the arc were clear both on the court and in the box score. Jacobs (18-5) shot 6 of 24 from 3-point range and 16 of 43 overall from the field.

Roberts was pleased with the shot selection, by and large because there were many that were open looks. Krutwig was a big reason the Golden Eagles’ shooters had the looks they did.

6 BOYS BASKETBALL: MARENGO 85, CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 56

Knobloch scores 31; Marengo wins again

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Just outside of the Marengo locker room, senior guard Zach Knobloch held his hands in front of him and began rattling off opponents.

“North Boone,” he said, extending his pointer finger.

“Elgin. McHenry. Rockford Christian. Genoa-Kingston. Harvard …,” he continued, naming all of the Indians’ wins over the past month until he had extended all of the fingers on one hand and two of the fingers on his other.

After Tuesday, he and the Indians can add Crystal Lake Central to that list. With a fast start and scorching shooting, Marengo raced past Central, 85-56. Marengo (18-6) has won eight in a row and 10 of its past 11.

Luckily for Knobloch, he wasn’t asked to count his points. It would have taken a couple of more hands for that.

The senior guard scored 27 of his 31 points in the first half before being removed early in the second half of the blowout. He sank 7 of 9 3-pointers in the first half and 7 of 11 for the game, including several that were closer to half court than the 3-point arc.

“He’s really started to get on a roll,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said. “I think he’s really started to get a feel for things. The other night at North Boone, he got wide open looks and didn’t knock them down. He kind of felt like he regressed a little bit. It was good for him to come right back and have a great game.”

Michael Volkening was just behind Knobloch with 22 points and eight rebounds. Volkening slashed to the basket early, providing a contrast to Kno-

Later in the game, his outside shooting emerged, as well. He sunk a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth and finished with three longrange baskets.

As a whole, nine scorers helped Marengo shoot almost 65 percent from the field (33 of 51).

“We’re a tough team to beat when that’s happening,” Knobloch said. “It’s great to see everybody having confidence in themselves.”

For Central (2-20), junior guard Adam Pump scored 18, freshman forward Alex Timmerman had 13 and junior Kyle Knoeppel scored 12.

Newton defends actions at Super Bowl: ‘I will not conform’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Cam Newton isn’t apologizing for acting like a “sore loser” after the Super Bowl.

The league’s MVP has been widely criticized for walking out of a three-minute news conference after a 24-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday in which he answered questions with mostly oneand two-word responses while sulking in his chair wearing a black Carolina Panthers hoodie over his head.

“Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser,” Newton said Tuesday as players cleaned out their lockers at the team’s downtown stadium.

Newton said he believes the situation is being overblown by the media, and added he doesn’t plan to change how he reacts to losing just to appease his critics.

“If I offended anybody that’s cool, but I know who I am and I’m not about to conform nor bend for anybody’s expectations because yours or anybody’s expectations would never exceed mine,” Newton said.

Senators get Phaneuf from Maple Leafs in 9-player trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs dealt their captain and highest-paid defenseman, Dion Phaneuf, to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday in a nine-player trade that will clear plenty of salary-cap space in the years to come. The Senators sent defenseman Jared Cowen, forwards Milan Michalek, Colin Greening and Tobias Lindberg and a second-round pick in the 2017 draft to Toronto for Phaneuf, forwards Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey and Ryan Rupert and defensive prospect Cody Donaghey.

No salary was retained by either team.

Phaneuf and the remaining five years of his contract at a cap hit of $7 million now belong to the playoff-minded Senators, and the Leafs get to press on with their rebuilding project.

It wasn’t a double-digit loss, but it may have hurt even worse for the Northern Illinois men’s basketball team.

The Huskies stormed back in the final minutes to take the lead before falling, 75-74, in the closing seconds of a Mid-American Conference game Tuesday night at Kent State – their fifth consecutive loss after starting the season 16-3.

“We kept fighting and we didn’t stop playing,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said. “Sometimes you need a little luck on your side.”

It was the first defeat in the five-game losing streak that was not by at least 10 points.

The Huskies (16-8, 5-6 MAC West) took a 74-73 lead on a jumper by senior guard Travon Baker with 15 seconds left in the game after trailing, 73-64, with 1:21 remaining. A major reason behind the burst in the 10-0 run late for the Huskies was the shooting of junior guard Aaric Armstead, who finished with a game-high 22 points on 7-for-14 shooting – including 3 for 6 from the 3-point line.

Armstead hit back-to-back 3s to set up Baker’s lead-changing jumper.

Baker finished with 12 points and seven assists, and sophomore big man Marin Maric had another double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Right-hander Latos adds depth to rotation

Quenneville fumes after latest lost goal

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Coach Joel Quenneville barely could stomach watching the officials take away yet another Blackhawks goal. He sure as heck couldn’t stomach rehashing it.

“It’s gotten to a different level – I don’t know the rules anymore, or something’s changed,” a fuming Quenneville said after the Hawks’ 2-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night. “I played a lot of hockey. I don’t know. I think everybody has an interpretation, what’s a good goal and what’s a bad goal. But I can’t believe it.”

With that, Quenneville threw his arms up and stormed out of the news conference after only one question, a unique moment of disgust for a coach who usually restricts his fiery temper to the bench.

For the second time in three games, the Hawks had a goal overturned after a coach’s challenge for goaltender interference. This time, it proved costly, as the game was 1-0 until Joe Thornton’s empty-netter with 1:42 to go. It was the Hawks’ first home loss since Dec. 27.

Just like in Arizona on Thursday, the disallowed goal was a questionable call at best. Dennis Rasmussen certainly was in the crease with his stick between Sharks goalie Martin Jones’ pads when Brandon Mashinter knocked the puck in off his shin pad. The question was whether he was pushed into Jones, or went in on his own volition.

“I can’t blame Moose,” Mashinter

said of Rasmussen. “The puck was there.

It’s just unfortunate, that’s it.”

Marian Hossa, for one, was mystified by the call. Again.

“The league wants to get more goals, but it seems like the rule is doing a good job of taking good goals away,” Hossa said. “Last year, definitely, that would be a goal. No questions asked.”

Challenges were added to the NHL this season, with coaches allowed to challenge for goaltender interference or offside plays that lead directly to goals.

This was the third Hawks goal overturned in less than a month, including an Andrew Shaw tally Jan. 15 in Toronto that was disallowed because Hossa was ruled offside in an excruciatingly close call.

Hossa, who has scored 496 goals in his career, was outspoken about the challenges disrupting games after the Arizona game, and he didn’t hold back Tuesday, either.

“It seems like every call these days takes so long, and the game’s slowing down,” Hossa said. “Every light touch with the goalie seems like it’s a goal disallowed.”

The biggest problem with the challenges is that the reviews aren’t centralized in New York or Toronto. Instead, the referees on-site review the plays on iPads, leaving the rule open to each individual crew’s interpretation.

“Every ref has a different opinion of exactly what it is,” said Corey Crawford, who made 25 saves, allowing only Patrick Marleau’s deflected power-play shot in the second period get past him.

At $3 million for one season and with a history of sustained success, right-hander Mat Latos was “too good to pass up.”

The White Sox addressed an area of need Tuesday by signing the 28-yearold right-hander to a relatively inexpensive deal, adding depth to a rotation that looks good up top with lefties Chris Sale, Jose Quintana and Carlos Rodon but vulnerable at Nos. 4 and 5 with unproven right-hander Erik Johnson and veteran lefty John Danks.

With Latos, the competition in spring training, which begins next week, just got tougher. Jacob Turner, claimed off waivers from the Cubs before signing as a $1.5 million free agent, had been the only other name in the rotation mix.

“Mat adds another quality veteran arm to our rotation and also increases our overall pitching depth, which always is essential to having a successful season,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “While we believe in the futures of several of our young starters, the chance to add a pitcher of Mat’s caliber was too good of an opportunity for us to pass up. He has proven over his career that when healthy, he takes the baseball and logs quality innings.”

Coming off elbow and knee problems, Latos was limited to 1122/3 innings in 2015, pitching to a combined 4.95 ERA with the Miami Marlins, Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels in 2015. From 2010 to 2014, he posted ERAs of 2.92, 3.47, 3.48, 3.16 and 3.25 with the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds, averaging 32 starts and almost 200 innings over a four-year stretch. His career ERA is a tidy 3.51.

Former Los Angeles Angles pitcher Mat Latos signed a $3 million, one-year contract Tuesday with the White Sox. Latos, described by some as a boisterous sort in the clubhouse, created a stir last February when he ripped former Reds teammates and the team’s medical staff, suggesting he was rushed back too soon after surgery.

“After we lost Scott Rolen (after 2012) everything went to [expletive],” Latos said. “When Scott was there, we had guys doing exactly what they were supposed to do. After Scott left, we had guys with two years in the big leagues, in the clubhouse, on their phones, laying down in the video room, just hanging out during games, not in the dugout, not cheering their teammates on.

Our dugout looked like a ghost town.

“We lose that veteran leadership, that’s what happens. You can’t have that, ... it turns into a circus.”

Reds manager Bryan Price called Latos’ comments “a bunch of tabloid B.S. that’s unnecessary.”

Veteran Skip Schumaker defended the training staff and said of Latos’ departure: “I’ll just say it’s addition by subtraction, and I’ll leave it at that.”

Note: The Sox also signed 32-year-old first baseman Travis Ishikawa to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

CHICAGO – Derrick Rose has said several times over the past few weeks he’s been finding his voice.

Right about now would be a good time for the former face of the Bulls franchise to find out exactly how loud that voice can be raised.

With Tuesday’s off-day coming in the wake of a 2-5 road trip, the Bulls have been kicking around the Derrick Rose idea for a team meeting since they let go of the rope late in the Utah game. That was seven days and three losses ago.

It’s not getting better.

As a matter of fact, what trips to Minneapolis and Charlotte have shown is it’s getting worse.

Joakim Noah wouldn’t stand for this type of play, but the problem is Noah’s not standing for much these days, not even with the team because of season-ending shoulder surgery.

Jimmy Butler has tried the leadership role, but with some early resistance in the locker room by several players, and now with his own injury problem (left knee), that responsibility should fall elsewhere.

Somebody, anybody.

So why not Rose?

Veteran Pau Gasol welcomed the idea of a gathering of the players last week. It has seemingly remained an open invitation. And at this point they don’t need a good guy to run it. They need harsh criticism from one of their own. Whether Rose can

pull that off is up for debate. The real concern is that type of eat-nails personality might not even exist in this locker room.

“Sometimes it is useful that a guy gets on somebody else’s [case] just to make him react or do better and not take it personally,” Gasol told reporters Monday. “There’s a fair argument that that’s something that could be used and it could be useful, and it is useful at times. But we don’t have that type of personality in the team here, in that way.

“You could approach a guy and say, ‘Hey, let’s just try to do this better, let’s just pick it up, let’s try to figure this out.’ Communication, it’s important.

I don’t think you really have to say, ‘What the [bleep], wake the [bleep] up.’

Some guys are comfortable using that type of language, but I’m not going to do that.”

Few are with this team.

The one impactful meeting they did have this season came in December when VP of basketball operations John Paxson addressed the team. Things turned around for a bit, including a six-game winning streak.

But now it feels like it has to come from one of their own. Someone has to try to keep what’s left of this this group together. Rose at least seems to understand that.

Butler out 3 to 4 weeks: Butler will miss the next three to four weeks with a strained left knee and will be replaced in this weekend’s All-Star Game by teammate Pau Gasol.

The Bulls said Tuesday that Butler has begun rehabbing his knee and will focus on conditioning over the next few weeks.

Note: Don’t limit this to reds, she says.

Champagne, white wine or rose can benefit from decanting, too.

The Associated Press

Aiming for a new and improved you in 2016? That’s tough. Improving your wine experience? That’s not hard at all.

Because if you want to drink better wine, the first step is drinking wine better. To help you get the job done, we asked the pros for their best wine drinking hacks that will make you a better person (or at least a better drinker).

Pick savvy storage

Learn by degrees

Aim for a middle ground when it comes to temperature. Good reds taste better with a little chill on them, and good whites taste better when they’re not ice cold, said Joe Campanale, co-owner and beverage director for Epicurean Group, which includes the NYC neighborhood restaurants dell’anima, Anfora and L’Artusi.

So if a red wine isn’t being pulled from a temperature controlled cellar or wine refrigerator, put the bottle in a refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes (or until slightly cool to the touch) before serving, said Jessica Pinzon, wine director of the Napa Valley’s Miminashi restaurant.

“Wine shows more acidity and minerality at a cooler temperature, and more fruit and alcohol at a warmer temperature. Experiencing the transition of [wine] warming up in the glass will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the wine,” she said.

Add a touch of glass

Use clean, clear glasses with a good stem, said Campanale, who hosts the weekly “In the Drink” program on Heritage Radio Network. He uses Bordeaux-shaped glasses (your basic red wine glass) for “pretty much all wine, including Champagne.” The stem plays an important role – keeping your fingers from warming the warm.

Age wisely

Drink most white wines young, said Gordana Kostovski, general manager and sommelier/beverage director of the Volver restaurant in Philadelphia. And these days, many red wines are made ready to drink on purchase, too. Big red wines, on the other hand – think French Bordeaux – may need a little more time.

An assortment of red and white wine shows if you want to drink better wine, the first step is drinking wine better.

Wondering how long? That’s a hard question to answer since wines vary. You can ask for clues at the wine shop, or sometimes the label or wine website will offer suggestions.

Develop a bubbly personality

“Drink more bubbles,” is the advice of Andy Myers, master sommelier and wine director for Washington, D.C.-based chef Jose Andres’ ThinkFoodGroup. His pick, Raventos I Blanc “De Nit” rose from Spain. And skip the flute, Kosovski said.

Serve bubbles in a coup or regular wine glass.

Dare to decant

Decanting a wine is good all around.

Whether young or old, a wine improves when exposed to a little air (which occurs naturally when pouring the wine from the bottle into a decanter). And careful pouring also means you leave any sediment in the bottle.

“Decanters aren’t just for somber, candle-lit ceremonies to separate the sediment out of venerable, old bottles,” said David Kravitz, certified master sommelier and beverage director of The

Chicken Casserole: New England Style

CORRECTION: The winning Recipe of the Week

that appeared Feb. 3 omitted 2 cups of cooked chicken. The complete recipe appears at right.

1 onion, diced 1 small can of mushrooms (or 7 or 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced) 1 small green pepper, diced 1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper 1/2 cup celery

Store wine on its side and in contact with its cork, Kostovski said. And if you’ve got a wine refrigerator, keep it in there at 55 degrees F. If not, look for a spot in a basement or closet that’s shaded from heat and light. Organize your wine and know what you have so you don’t forget it and leave it too long. And, said Kostovski, think about investing in a Coravin, the device that allows you to sample wine repeatedly without pulling the cork.

Having friends over for dinner and plan to open a nice, older bottle of wine?

Stand the bottle upright (ideally between 50 to 64 degrees F.) for a couple of days before the dinner party, advised Pinzon.

This allows any sediment that may have settled in the shoulder of the bottle to settle at the bottom instead, making serving or decanting cleaner and more ideal.

Prime that wine

Drinking two wines at dinner out of one glass? Don’t rinse the glass with water to make the change, said Chloe Helfland, sommelier at Bazaar Meat in the SLS Hotel Las Vegas. Once the glass is empty, pour in a little of the second wine, swirl it, dump the rinse and you’re ready for a proper pour.

Shop smarter

There’s no hacking a really bad wine.

Campanale recommends going to a good wine shop to get a head start. If you find a wine you like, make a note of the producer; you’ll probably like some of their other wines, too.

Relax

Learning about and developing an appreciation for wine is interesting, but don’t make it a chore. And while you’re swirling and sipping – but not while pouring – try closing your eyes.

“Feel the wine through your senses,” Kostovski said. “Wine is romantic!”

1 tablespoon butter 2 cups cooked chicken, cut into bitesized pieces 1 small package frozen peas and carrots 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can cream of chicken soup 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 1 package frozen biscuits

Sauté the first five ingredients in the butter until tender. Mix in remaining ingredients except for frozen biscuits.

Spread in a 9-inch baking pan. Cook at 350 degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and top with layer of frozen biscuits. Return pan to the oven and cook until biscuits are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

butter, a pinch of salt and the Parmesan. In another small bowl, combine the thyme, garlic, lemon zest, a hefty pinch of black pepper and the cream.

Divide the bay scallops between 2 individual gratin dishes. Pour half of the cream mixture over each dish of scallops, then sprinkle each evenly with the breadcrumbs. At this point, the scallops can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or baked immediately.

When ready to bake, heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cream is bubbling and the crumbs are browned.

Try some heat with your sweet

M

By KATIE WORKMAN • The Associated Press

exican hot chocolate is a beloved beverage made from chocolate combined with cinnamon and another spice or two to bring up the heat. The combination of spicy and chocolate just plain works, and I wanted to see how it would translate into another beloved treat, the good old American brownie. Again, it just plain worked.

These brownies are on the fudgier side, which I happen to love. The kick from the spices – cayenne, cinnamon and ancho chili powder – is at first subtle, then more pronounced, then fades. All of which means, of course, you must go back and have another bite. And another.

It is no accident that this recipe makes a large pan. Valentine’s Day may be meant for couples, but these brownies are meant for sharing.

Mexican Chocolate Chip Brownies Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 24

3 cups (18 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided 3/4 cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter 1¾ cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 large eggs 1½ cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan over medium-low, melt 2 cups of the chocolate chips with the

butter, stirring frequently. As soon as the mixture is smooth remove it from the heat.

Stir in the sugar and vanilla, then beat in the eggs one at a time.

While the chocolate is melting, in a medium bowl mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cayenne and ancho chili powder.

After beating the eggs into the chocolate mixture, stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan

and smooth the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick or skewer inserted at the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 squares.

Glazing

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Most everybody loves fresh, warm doughnuts. But most everybody doesn’t love the hassle of making them. It’s a messy process that involves making a dough that can be temperamental. Who has time for that on Valentine’s Day? So we’ve created a method of making doughnuts that takes the temperamental out of the equation. You start with a dough you buy at the grocery store. Next, cut it and fry it. Then just top the doughnuts with something fun. You can even make it a project you do with your partner. Or it can be a fun activity to do with kids (the toppings, not the frying).

To start, you’ll need to select your ingredients: dough, oil and toppings.

For the dough, choose tubes of flaky biscuits, homestyle biscuits or cinnamon buns from the refrigerated section of the grocer. Simply unroll and separate them.

For the frying, you’ll need about 4 cups of oil. Peanut oil or grapeseed oil are great choices, but canola will work, too. It’s also handy to have an instant or candy thermometer.

The toppings are where the real

Simple vanilla glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Chocolate glaze: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small bowl in the microwave until simmering. Add 3/4 cup chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.

Caramel glaze: Heat 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan with 1 cup caramel candies over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth and melted.

Peanut butter glaze: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small bowl in the microwave until simmering. Add 1 cup peanut butter chips and stir until completely melted.

Toppings

fun happens. Spread out a topping bar of different glazes and toppings, then let people design their own doughnuts. If you want to keep it simple, you could just fill a large bowl with cinnamon-sugar, then toss the warm doughnuts in that until coated.

Frying

Fill a large, deep pot with 1 to 1½ inches

of oil. Heat over medium-high until the oil reaches 350 to 375 degrees F. Adjust the heat to maintain this temperature. Fry your doughnuts in batches of 3 to 4, being careful to not overcrowd your pan. The doughnuts will take about 3 minutes a side until they reach a deep golden brown. Transfer the finished doughnuts to a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Allow the oil to return to the proper temperature between batches.

Oysters are perfect for romance, eating at home

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

One of Valentine’s Day’s enduring customs is to launch the annual Feast of Love with a dozen raw oysters on the half shell washed down with a chilled bottle of bubbly. The briny bivalves long have enjoyed a reputation as an aphrodisiac.

Most of us indulge our love of oysters at a restaurant, if only because we’re daunted by the prospect of buying, shucking and serving the little devils at home.

But it’s not nearly as complicated as rumored. And it’s certainly much more affordable to undertake this operation at home.

For information on how to choose, transport and shuck oysters, visit NWHerald.com/ features.

What kind of sauce goes with raw oysters? If you asked my dad, who’s been eating oysters for a million years, he’d say none or, at most, a spritz of lemon. But plenty of other folks love them dipped in mignonette, a simple vinegar sauce. And here I’ve provided two others: a Japanesestyle ginger wasabi sauce and an

American-style cocktail sauce.

How about the wine? Champagne, a good dry one, is perfect, especially on Valentine’s Day. Love will be in the air.

Cocktail Sauce

Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes about 1 cup 3 tablespoons finely grated fresh horseradish 3 tablespoons white vinegar Pinch kosher salt 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup Heinz Chili Sauce (or similar brand) 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Hot sauce, to taste (optional) In a small bowl, let the grated horseradish stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and the salt, then add the ketchup, chili sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce, to taste. Stir well.

Mignonette

Start to finish: 40 minutes (10 minutes active) Makes about 1/2 cup

2 tablespoons minced shallots 1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, Champagne vinegar or cider vinegar Hefty pinch kosher salt Hefty pinch sugar In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and stir well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes before using.

Ginger Wasabi Sauce Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes about 1/2 cup

2 teaspoons wasabi powder 2 teaspoons warm water 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons minced shallots 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger Kosher salt In a small bowl, combine the wasabi and water. Mix well, then let stand for 5 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of the vinegar and whisk until the wasabi paste is thinned and smooth. Add the remaining vinegar, the shallots, ginger and a pinch of salt. Serve right away.

Show how much you care with handmade chai spice truffles

By MEERA SODHA

The Associated Press

Valentine’s Day can throw the best of us into a wild panic. How to show the one you love the way you feel without succumbing to cliches?

Best to avoid fancy dinners and a bunch of roses, in my opinion. Always lovely, but never original. What everyone wants is to feel like they’re being thought about or cared for. For me, making something for someone does exactly that because it’s a simple act of love. It need not be a pudding flambé or an Eiffel Tower-high croquembouche, just something special.

These chai spiced chocolate truffles are perfect. They are dark and dense orbs, made using good quality 70 percent dark chocolate infused with cream and the gorgeous sweet spices ordinarily used in chai, including ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. They can be made in advance, leaving you more time to spend with your loved one. They are perfect eaten after dinner and with a little dessert wine or just nibbled slowly all by themselves.

Chai Spice Chocolate Truffles

Start to finish: 2 hours 25 minutes (25 minutes active) Makes 48 truffles 8 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped

1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground dry ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Set the chocolate in a medium bowl. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium, combine the cream and butter. Heat until the butter melts and the cream starts to bubble. Be careful not to burn the cream. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate, whisking to melt the chocolate until you have a smooth mixture. Add the cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and sugar. Mix well, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. To make the truffles, place the cocoa powder in a bowl to one side. Using a melon baller or small cookie scoop dipped in hot water, scoop out a little of the firm chocolate mixture and shape into a ball. To coat, roll around in the bowl of cocoa powder until well covered. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

When was this spoken? “The national budget must be balanced.

The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn’t want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Here is a deal in which East must assist his side’s cause. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade. What happens after that?

Note North’s response. He should not think about five clubs, even though in this deal, three no-trump can be defeated and five clubs will make! However, this is a rarity. The converse will be the case much more often.

I have one other guideline for you: When you have a singleton king, mentally imagine that it is king-doubleton.

After applying the Rule of Eleven (five from 11 is six), East knows that South has two spades higher than the five -- and that they will not be the ace and 10, because West would have led the nine from a suit headed by the 9-8-6-5.

At trick one, East must unblock and signal with his spade queen -when you cannot win the trick, play the top of touching honors.

South will take the club finesse at trick two, but it will lose, and West will continue with a low spade to his partner’s jack. Then the spade-seven return through South’s 10 gives the defenders one club and four spades.

by Cicero, in 55 B.C.
