Good morning, McHenry County ...

Let’s look at District 26 money Continuing down the election money trail we embarked on Wednesday, let’s take a closer look at the money tossed around last week in the race to replace Dan Duffy in the 26th state Senate District. No Democrats are running in the primary, but three Republicans are: Dan McConchie, Martin McLaughlin and Casey Urlacher.

I mentioned Wednesday the $5,400 McConchie got last week from Sage Products Chairman Vince Foglia. He also received $1,000 from INAV Group executive Daniel Dickinson. McLaughlin netted $10,000 from the REALTOR Political Action Committee. Urlacher had the biggest week, however: $10,800 from SOLIC Capital in Evanston; $2,000 from Pamela Netzky of Chicago; $1,834.25 for signs from Protech Security Group; $1,000 from the Horton Group in Orland Park; and $1,000 from Andy Cohn of Mettawa.

Five days after their previous meeting, the Blackhawks and Stars will continue their battle atop the Central Division when Dallas visits the United Center for the first time this season. The Hawks lost a 2-0 decision to San Jose in their return home Tuesday after a controversial goal reversal, but the frustration of a shutout loss should be an additional motivating factor heading into Thursday’s tilt.

Former Prairie Grove police officer Oscar Baez, who was fired after crashing his police vehicle into a utility pole while allegedly intoxicated, was arraigned in McHenry County court Wednesday and formally entered a plea of not guilty to official misconduct charges related to the incident.

Local reps react after president speaks in Illinois

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – President Barack Obama came here nine years ago to declare it was “time to turn the page” on cynical, special-interest politics. He returned Wednesday lamenting that the story hasn’t changed.

In a day trip to the state capital where he began his career and also launched his presidential bid, Obama fretted over the harsh tone and hardening partisanship he says is turning off voters.

He waxed nostalgic about the chummier relations and bipartisan deal-making of his youth. He appealed to state lawmakers, and the public, to rid politics of “polarization and meanness” that discourage widespread participation in civic life.

“It’s gotten worse,” he said bluntly in an address to the Illinois General Assembly, on the anniversary of his entry into presidential politics.

“Today, that kind of citizenship is threatened by a poisonous political climate that pushes people away from parRep. Mike ticipating in our public Tryon life,” Obama added. “It turns folks off. It discourages them. It makes them cynical. And when that happens, more powerful and extreme voices fill the void.”

McHenry County repRep. Jack resentatives who attendFranks ed the address described the day as “historic” and “exciting,” even if they shared different political views with the president.

“I think the president did a good job in laying out the tension not just in Illinois, but in the country,” said Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake. “I think we all see it, and think the message he was trying to say was, in part, that’s who we are.”

Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, said the president’s words were “inspiring.”

He said Obama addressed, “how we

as individuals, as lawmakers, have to put aside partisan differences and do what’s best for the citizens.”

The sentiment echoed Obama’s 2007

address delivered in the cold on the steps of the Old State Capitol building.

It is one Obama has repeated throughout his presidency amid miserable

relationships with congressional opposition and new levels of gridlock in Washington.

Still, it carried added resonance on Wednesday, as outsider candidates in both parties celebrated huge victories in the New Hampshire primary. In the presidential campaign to succeed him, both parties are dealing with voters deeply frustrated with the political climate.

Republicans have seen a willingness to embrace coarsening conversation – Donald Trump has made a habit of using personal insults barely suitable for print. On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders is calling for political revolution fueled by animosity toward corporate interests.

Obama has not formally waded into the Democratic race, but is increasingly trying to play the role of a Greek chorus.

On Wednesday, he spent much of his time outlining his worries about the role of big money in politics and the impact on legislating.

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CARY – The Rev. Phillip Kaim stood before more than 200 parishioners at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church on Ash Wednesday and told them to prepare to be part of their own Cinderella story.

Cinderella had to wallow in ashes and trust the deprivation and humiliation she was experiencing was necessary before she was ready to be transformed for the royal ball, he said, addressing the schoolchildren in the front pews.

They, too, had to understand the Lenten season was about a transformation that starts with humility and ashes.

“You see, Catholics, we’ve been doing this for over 2,000 years,” Kaim said.

“We’ve been doing it not with the idea that we are going to beat ourselves into submission, but that we’re going to surrender our lives to God.” Similar scenes played out at various McHenry County churches throughout the day as thousands lined up to receive ashes and observe the start of Lent.

While lifelong Catholic Ryan Stawarz walked into the sanctuary inside the Cary church, he hadn’t decided whether he was

going to sacrifice anything over the next 40 days or stick to the traditional rule of not eating meat on Friday. Lent is the most important season in his faith. He said this year, unlike others, he was thinking about the declaration from Pope Francis of 2016 as the Jubilee Year of Mercy.

“It’s supposed to be a year of forgiving and welcoming people to the church,” Stawarz said.

Cary resident Carol Santee said to her

the day marked the start of a season of awareness and reflection. She looks forward to the season every year, she said, because everyone needs help focusing on self-improvement.

“It isn’t always about giving up candy,” Santee said. “It’s about changing your life and making yourself more like the Lord.

We’re looking for discernment from him on what he wants from us and how we get there.”

6 CRYSTAL LAKE

Candidates debate office merit 3 hopefuls vying for county recorder seat

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The platform of one Republican county recorder candidate to abolish the office dominated a Wednesday discussion with the three candidates running in the March 15 primary.

Candidates Joe Tirio, Joni Smith and Tina Hill sparred over the subject during their meet- Joe Tirio ing with the Northwest Herald Editorial Board.

Tirio wants a voter referendum to consolidate the recorder and county clerk offices as is done in most Illinois counties, while Smith and Hill op- Joni Smith pose the idea.

The office is responsible for recording, retrieving and maintaining a number of records, such as land records and real estate transactions, subdivision plats and military discharge certificates. It has more than 3.4 million documents on file. In an age of electronic record keeping and scanning, Tirio said it is no longer necessary to have a separate elected office.

“At some point, when you build an organization that’s some 20 people deep, the person at the head isn’t do-

ing the document indexing, isn’t doing the scanning or answering the front counter. Her job is the executive-level work,” Tirio said.

Smith, who serves as a supervisor in the office, said consolidating the two offices is not practical in the sixth-largest county in Illinois.

“They are two very separate and complex offices with two completely different duties, as far as the vital services they provide,” said Smith, of Crystal Lake.

Hill, a 14-year veteran of the County Board who spent one two-year term as its chairwoman, called Tirio’s idea a good political “sound bite” Tina Hill that would result in minuscule savings to a county budget that has been steadily decreased over the years.

“It is not the most efficient way to run a county of this size,” said Hill, of Woodstock.

Eighty percent of Illinois counties have a merged county clerk and recorder office because of population – state law requires a minimum of 60,000 residents for a county to have two separate elected officials.

Voters in several larger counties in recent years have merged the two offices as a cost-cutting measure. Referendums since 2011 to eliminate the recorder’s office in Tazewell, McLean and Peoria counties have passed, and the LaSalle County Board is examining whether to put the question to voters as well.

Tirio, who worked in the corporate sector and now owns Monarch Senior Care, an in-home senior care service in Woodstock, estimates abolishing the elected recorder will save taxpayers $12 million over 40 years.

Smith at first accused Tirio of manipulating his numbers, but backed off the allegation when asked to cite examples, and rephrased that he did not have his facts about the office straight.

She likewise took umbrage at Tirio’s accusation that the office’s customer service could be improved.

“It is literally within a second that people are approached at the counter for help,” Smith said. “The extensive training given in that department is impeccable.”

Hill, who said that things can get complacent with a longtime recorder at the helm – current Recorder Phyllis Walters is retiring after 32 years in office – likewise defended the department.

“It has been run at optimal level and very excellently with the resources it has,” Hill said. “There’s always room for improvement, but it has always been an efficiently-run office.”

All three candidates pledged to limit themselves to two, four-year terms in office.

“My intent is one,” Tirio said in reference to his goal.

No Democratic candidate is running, meaning the GOP victor will run unopposed in November, unless the Democrats gather the signatures needed to caucus in a candidate after the primary.

He is next due in court for the DUI charge at 9 a.m. Feb. 18 in front of McHenry County Judge Mark Gerhardt.

• OBAMA

Continued from page A3 He warned that compromise is necessary, and “doesn’t make me a sellout to my own party.”

He offered a few broad prescriptions for changing the political climate, including the way congressional districts are drawn and making it easier for people to vote in elections.

Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, said changing the way districts are drawn is “extremely important” to her, and other local politicians Sen. Pam agreed.

Althoff “I think that much of the voter apathy we see today is because there is a disconnect between the voter and the people that represent them,” Althoff said.

Obama noted with some amusement that his audience, the state lawmakers he held up as model for bipartisan pragmatism, seemed to have knee-jerk partisan responses to his suggestions.

“This is fascinating to watch,” he said.

Obama’s trip was laden with nostalgia for the capital where he got his start as a state senator. Before delivering his remarks, he dropped by one of his old lunchtime haunts to greet diners and pick up an order to go.

He spoke fondly of getting to know his colleagues in Springfield over fish fries and poker games, an aspect of political life in Washington that has all but disappeared as House and Senate lawmakers rush out of town on weekends to spend time with family back home.

“I miss you guys,” he said as he left the cheering chamber.

Obama called “my inability to reduce the polarization and meanness in our politics” one of his few regrets as president, although he didn’t acknowledge any specific mistakes.

As culprits for the climate, he pointed to the media, short-sighted political tactics, gerrymandered districts and

Rep. Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, noted the president’s recognition of his regret.

“He recognizes the polarization has become Rep. Barb worse since the beginWheeler ning of his term, and so what I saw and what I heard today was a very optimistic beginning of his last year and what I would call his ‘House divided tour,’ where he’s going to take his one regret and make amends and repair this country,” Wheeler said.

She added that she wished the president would have addressed using modern technology to prevent voter fraud during his remarks about increasing voter turnout.

Obama returned to a statehouse that has Rep. David McSweeney weathered its share of turmoil since he left it behind in 2004. Two Illinois governors have been convicted of corruption and sent to prison – including Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is serving time for trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat Obama vacated when he became president.

Meanwhile, Democrats who control both chambers of the Legislature have butted heads with Gov. Bruce Rauner since the Republican and former businessman took office last year. The

two sides have yet to agree on a state budget more than eight months into the fiscal year, prompting massive cuts to higher education and social service programs.

Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, said while he respected the president’s address, the most urgent matter is Illinois not having a state budget.

“I think we should be working full time to adopt a budget with no tax increase,” McSweeney said.

Obama returned to Springfield with several of the architects of his successful first presidential campaign, including then-chief strategist David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, who remains a senior White House adviser. Both accompanied the president aboard Air Force One.

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man is facing six felony charges after police said he stole more than 1,800 hydrocodone pills from the Walgreens pharmacy where he worked.

Sean M. Damiano, 24, of the 800 block of Queen Anne Street, was charged Jan. 7 with three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and three charges of retail theft over $300, all felonies. Police said the pills were taken from the Walgreens at 305 S. Eastwood Drive, where Damiano worked as a pharmacy technician.

Woodstock Deputy Police Chief John Lieb said police began investigating Damiano on Dec. 1 when Walgreens management contacted them about their suspicion that an employee had been stealing drugs. Through video evidence, audits and other items provided by the store, police filed charges and put out a warrant for Damiano’s arrest Jan. 7. He turned himself in Jan. 11.

Police believe the thefts had been

happening over several months, Lieb said. Court documents put the retail value of the pills at more than $1,700.

Lieb said Walgreens managers told police that Damiano changed his story several times when confronted about the pills. Court documents indicate that Damiano said he was delivering the tablets to a sick friend.

When a police officer contacted Damiano, he declined to speak, Lieb said. Damiano posted Sean M. $5,000 bail Jan. 20 after Damiano his bond was reduced from its original $150,000. His arraignment hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m.

Wednesday. Lieb said the pharmacy also was missing anti-anxiety medication in its audit, but there was no evidence linking Damiano to those pills.

Through a spokesman, Walgreens declined to comment. Damiano’s lawyer, Donahue & Walsh in McHenry, did not return a phone call for comment. If convicted of the most serious charges, Damiano could face six to 30 years in prison.

NANCY JUNG Nancy Howard Jung, born Nancy Hooper, passed away Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016, at age 87, having lived life to its fullest. She made a difference in the world to all who knew her.

Nancy grew up in Beverly Hills, a neigh-

borhood in Chicago; attended Knox College; married Frank C. Howard Jr. and moved to McHenry County. She resided in Bull Valley since 1950 where she raised their children: Karen, Frank and Lynne. She later married John Jung. She became a Realtor, then a broker with John Jung Real Estate in Crystal Lake. Nancy was a top salesperson for many years, and recognized by the McHenry County Association of Realtors for her “outstanding service and contributions to the real estate profession.”

As an early Bull Valley resident, Nancy expressed her love of the arts by working in the Woodstock Opera House. She appreciated fine art, and music, especially opera. In 1953, she became a member of the Bull Valley Garden Club, and served as president for two terms, in 1957 and again in 2002. Along with the Bull Valley Association, she and garden club members made a lasting and visible difference along our roadsides by planting thousands of returning daffodils. Never losing her sense of commitment to the club and its work, she continued to act on future visions and plans through the final months of her life.

Bringing her vast knowledge of the community and its history, Nancy served as a trustee on the Board of Directors of the Bull Valley Association for nearly a decade. She helped neighbors get to know each other and the area through the Association’s “Progressive Dinners.”

Nancy loved the country. She shared her friends’ desire for a riding club, where members could ride horses freely across property lines. As a founding member of the Bull Valley Riding Club, Nancy worked tirelessly to build owner participation and obtain easements; to open, map, and maintain over 80 miles of Riding Club trails. When horse and rider safety were at risk on one trail, Nancy secured funding for the planning, design, and construction of a bridge completed in 2012, over Boone Creek. Nancy took her last ride on Sept. 27, 2015.

Her energy was boundless and quest for adventure extensive. She was an expert trap shooter, earning Ladies Grand Champion honors several years running. Also an accomplished skier, Nancy served on the area ski patrol. She took her children canoeing; and took her grandchildren whitewater rafting.

She loved the beach, Palisades, ocean and lake. She took them on trips to teach them the history of people and place.

An avid reader and writer/editor, Nancy joined the Serendipity Book Club, where she shared her knowledge and love of literature.

Nancy has been a longtime member of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church, where she has served on the Vestry and as a member of the choir.

A gathering of friends and family will be held on Feb. 15, 2016, at the Bull Valley Golf Club, from 4 until 7 p.m. The funeral service for Nancy will be on Feb. 16 at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church at 7:30 p.m.

Nancy is survived by Karen and Rob Predale,

JOHN MARSLAND John “Jack” Marsland, 88, of Algonquin and formerly of Palatine, passed away at home on Feb. 8, 2016.

“There is nothing in the world as irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” Jack was gifted with both and shared them freely.

He was a loving husband, father and grandfather; he will be deeply missed by his children, Jennie (Joe Murphy), Kate (Alan Harkrader) and Charlie (Ann); two grandsons, Matthew and Max; his sister, Joan Jewell; and his in-laws, Lorinda and John Bradford.

In his final years, Jack was also loved and cared for by his personal aides, Marilyn Villarama, Diane Kaufmann and Toni Villarama.

Jack cherished his family and friends and was a dedicated volunteer for the Friends of the Algonquin Area Library for many years. He was a lifelong soccer fan, and an early president and coach of the Palatine Celtic Soccer Club. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Jack graduated from Wesleyan University and was an Army veteran. He met the love of his life, Ann Ocheltree, in New York in 1955 and they were married for 57 years.

A reception honoring Jack will be held at a future date; please email murphyaj315@ gmail.com or kmmarsland@comcast.net for details.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Friends of the Algonquin Area Library.

Persistent economic weakness could slow rate hikes, Fed’s Yellen says

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen cautioned Wednesday that global weakness and falling financial markets could depress the U.S. economy’s growth and slow the pace of Fed interest rate hikes.

But Yellen made clear the Fed likely won’t find it necessary to cut rates after having raised them from record lows in December. She did concede, however, that negative rates, which central banks in Japan and Europe recently have imposed, are a tool the Fed has at least studied.

In her semiannual report to Congress, Yellen offered no major surprises. And she reiterated the Fed’s confidence the U.S. economy was on track for stronger growth and an increase in too-low inflation. At the same time, she acknowledged the weaker economic figures that have emerged since 2016 began and made clear the Fed is nervous about the risks from abroad.

Her concerns about the perils to U.S. growth contrasted with the Fed’s statement eight weeks ago, when it raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade and described economic risks as “balanced.”

In her testimony to the House Financial Services Committee, Yellen also: • Expressed sympathy with committee members who raised concerns about chronically higher-than-average unemployment among black Americans.

Members of an activist group, the Fed Up coalition, attended the hearing wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the messages “What Recovery?” and “Let Our Wages Grow.” The group has been urging the Fed to delay further rate hikes until the job market improves further, especially for minority groups.

• Sounded her concern about China’s weaker currency and economic outlook, which are rattling financial markets. She also warned that rising borrowing rates and a strong dollar could slow U.S. growth and

Still, she said strong hiring at the end of 2015 and signs of stronger pay growth could offset those drags.

• Said the Fed still expects to raise rates gradually but is not on any preset course. The Fed likely will slow its pace of rate increases “if the economy were to disappoint,” she said.

• Cautioned that the sharp declines in stock prices, rising rates for riskier borrowers and further strength in the dollar had translated into financial conditions that pose risks to growth. “These developments, if they prove persistent, could weigh on the outlook for economic activity and the labor market, although declines in longer-term interest rates and oil prices could provide some offset,” she said.

• Observed that the central bank still thinks energy price declines and a stronger dollar will fade in coming months and help raise inflation back up to the Fed’s 2 percent target rate. The higher-valued dollar has held down U.S. inflation by making foreign goods cheaper for American consumers.

Worker pay, though, has started to show its first significant gains since the Great Recession ended 6½ years ago.

Yellen’s testimony marked the first of two days of testimony she will give to Congress. Her appearance marked her first public comments since December, when the Fed raised rates for the first time in nearly a decade. After the Fed began raising rates, economists widely expected it to continue to boost its benchmark rate gradually but steadily, most likely starting in March. But economists have scaled back their expectation for four modest hikes this year down to perhaps only two, with the first hike not occurring until June at the earliest.

Yellen’s testimony Wednesday included her most extensive comments on the situation in China. The data so far do not suggest the world’s second-largest economy is undergoing a sharp slowdown, Yellen said.

But she added declines in that country’s currency have intensified concerns about China’s economic prospects.

“This uncertainty led to increased volatility in global financial markets and, against

the background of persistent weakness abroad, exacerbated concerns about the outlook for global growth,” Yellen said.

U.S. growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, slowed sharply in the fourth quarter of 2015 to a meager annual rate of 0.7 percent. Yellen attributed the result to weakness in business stockpiling and export sales. But she noted that economy is being fueled by other sectors including home building and auto sales.

And she said the U.S. job market remains solid, even after slowing in January to a gain of roughly 150,000 jobs. That addition was still enough to lower the unemployment rate to 4.9 percent from 5 percent. While many Democrats expressed support for a go-slow approach by the Fed in raising rates, Republicans on the committee argued the subpar economic recovery over the past 6-and-a-half years was evidence of the mismanagement of the economy by President Barack Obama.

“This recovery is the most dismal, tepid recovery we have ever had in recorded history,” said Rep. Robert Pittenger, R-North Carolina.

NEW YORK – Burger King is looking for a new crown: Hot Dog King.

The Miami-based chain said it plans to put hot dogs on its menu nationally for the first time starting Feb. 23. It may seem like a jarring addition for those who know the chain for its Whoppers. But Burger King said its ability to flame-grill meat makes hot dogs a natural fit on its menu.

“This is probably the most obvious product launch ever,” said Alex Macedo, president of Burger King North America.

With the launch, Burger King said it will offer hot dogs at all 7,100 of its U.S. restaurants – more U.S. locations than any other chain. Smaller chains that sell hot dogs include Dairy Queen and Sonic Drive-In. The move comes as Burger King works to push up sales amid intensifying competition with McDonald’s offering breakfast items all day to spark a turnaround, while Wendy’s

In 2014, Burger King’s sales rose 2.1 percent at established locations in the U.S. and Canada. Parent company Restaurant Brands International Inc. reports results for 2015 next week.

The hot dogs are being supplied by Kraft Heinz, which owns Oscar Mayer. Investment firm 3G Capital manages both

Restaurant Brands and Kraft Heinz.

Macedo said hot dogs would build on Burger King’s momentum given their growing popularity, including at trendy eateries.

Tests of the hot dogs in a handful of cities last year resulted in unspecified sales increases, according to Burger

King. The food-review website The Impulsive Buy noted the hot dogs seem “small and not quite substantial enough” but otherwise gave them a positive review.

Still, fast-food history is riddled with menu flops, and Burger King is no exception.

In 2013, for instance, the chain launched lower-calorie fries called “Satisfries.” They failed less than a year later.

Burger King’s “Grilled Dogs” will come in two varieties. The “classic” hot dog will be topped with ketchup, mustard, chopped onions and relish, and 310 calories. The company suggesting franchisees sell it for $1.99. A chili cheese version has 330 calories, with the suggested price of $2.39.

To get workers excited, Burger King said it enlisted Snoop Dogg and Charo to star in training videos for making the hot dogs. The company said they’re internal videos, but allowed reporters to record them on their phones, meaning they’re likely for marketing purposes.

Judge rules against archdiocese in sex case

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – A judge ruled that a man who alleges he was abused by a Chicago priest 16 years ago can seek punitive damages, breathing new life into the case and others that could cost the Archdiocese of Chicago more money beyond the $130 million it has paid to sexual abuse victims.

In a ruling on Tuesday, Cook County Circuit Judge Clare McWilliams wrote that a man who alleges he was sexually abused as a boy in 2000 by former priest Daniel McCormack can seek punitive damages, which are compensation to punish an offender beyond any losses to the victim. The

News from across the state Mailing of vehicle emissions test notices suspended

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois motorists will have to keep track of when their vehicles need to pass an emissions test or be renewed, because the state says it won’t provide mailed notifications.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Secretary of State’s office announced the temporary policy changes Tuesday.

The EPA said in a news release that it was forced to suspend mailing of vehicle emissions test notices, starting with license plates that expire at the end of March, because of the lack of a state budget.

As a result, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has decided to temporarily allow license plate renewals for vehicle owners who haven’t taken the emissions test, citing an unfair burden to the state’s residents. Those owners will be told they still have to get their vehicle tested.

White’s office said in September that it would stop mailing vehicle registration renewal reminders because of the budget standoff. The move was estimated to save $450,000 a month, and intended to allow White’s office to continue mailing other reminders – such as for driver’s license renewals – for a few months

case is scheduled for trial in July.

The judge determined it was reasonably likely that attorneys could prove to a jury that the archdiocese showed “utter indifference” to the safety of parishioners by ordaining and placing McCormack in parishes at a time when it knew about sexual abuse by priests and about questions regarding McCormack’s sexual conduct in particular.

The ruling also means that possible victims in future cases involving McCormack can seek such damages if their lawsuits go to trial.

The archdiocese would not say if it would appeal the ruling, saying only in a statement: “We are disappointed in the ruling and will respond in court

at the appropriate time.”

The judge wrote that not only did the archdiocese know about the “widespread problem of priests abusing parishioners,” but McCormack was ordained by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin when the archdiocese knew of several instances of McCormack engaging in sexual acts after drinking alcohol.

The judge also rejected the archdiocese’s argument that there was no evidence Cardinal Francis George knew that McCormack was a risk to children. George promoted McCormack to a parish on the city’s West Side.

He was criticized for failing to remove McCormack from the parish until months after he learned of sexual abuse allegation. He later apologized

his handling of the McCormack case.

Both the former leaders of the archdiocese, Bernardin and George, have since died.

The archdiocese has paid about $130 million to settle sex abuse claims, including those against McCormack.

In 2007, months after his arrest, he pleaded guilty to abusing five children and was sentenced to five years in prison.

He was subsequently released from prison and placed in a mental health facility.

In 2014, McCormack was charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse stemming from another alleged incident in 2005 involving a boy when McCormack still was a priest.

until the postage account is depleted, he said in a statement.

White’s office also said it will resume regular vehicle registration procedures when the EPA resumes mailing out vehicle emissions test notices. Those who need to renew vehicle registrations have to do so in person because the PIN number needed to do so online is sent through the mail.

Administration, declared the company an “imminent hazard” and ordered it to shut down. Even then, the company was able to successfully appeal and stay on the road.

It took an insurance company canceling coverage to put the carrier out of operation.

The safety board recommended that regulators automatically notify insurers when a company is labeled high-risk in hopes that might increase rates and bring painful financial pressure on carriers to comply with rules to prevent dangerous driver fatigue.

“Fatigue in transportation kills,” NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart said. “Although such unsafe trucking companies are a small minority of operators, they are not rare – to the dismay of both the driving public and trucking companies that are more diligent about ensuring their safety.”

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration spokesman Duane DeBruyne said the agency would cooperate with NTSB and address the recommendations.

Firefighters previously said the fire started in the home’s first-floor living room. Milby said the state lists “accidental undetermined” as the fire’s cause.

The victims were 61-year-old Patrick Hopkins; his wife, 49-year-old Mary Hopkins; and their children, 24-yearold Maggie, 16-year-old Donovan and 13-year-old Katie Jo.

Inadequate oversight blamed in deadly crash

CHICAGO – Failed safety oversight was partly to blame for a deadly crash near Chicago in which a truck driver for a company already flagged as high-risk fell asleep and plowed into emergency vehicles, a federal accident investigations board said. The panel urged the government to turn to the insurance industry for help.

The January 2014 crash on Interstate 88 near Naperville killed a tollway worker and seriously injured a state trooper whose patrol car was engulfed in flames.

The trucker had slept less than 4½ hours in the 37 hours before the crash, in violation of regulations. Investigators found he routinely falsified logbook entries to hide hours-of-service violations.

Although regulators had classified the Illinois company, DND International Inc., as high-risk, based on a lengthy record of problems, they failed to make the carrier comply with rules, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday in Washington. It wasn’t until two months after the crash that the regulatory agency, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Scholarship to be named after former professor

CHICAGO A suburban Chicago Christian college will create a scholarship named for a former political science professor who asserted Christians and Muslims worship the same God. The Daily Herald reported that Wheaton College officials made the announcement Wednesday in Chicago with Larycia Hawkins. The school was moving to fire her until it announced Saturday that it and Hawkins reached a confidential agreement to part ways. The endowed scholarship will be for peace and conflict studies.

Hawkins also wore a hijab, the headscarf worn by some Muslim women, to counter what she called “vitriolic” rhetoric against Muslims.

Meanwhile in Wheaton on Wednesday about two dozen Hawkins supporters announced they were launching a nationwide fast. Hawkins has tearfully praised her students and said they demonstrated “embodied solidarity.”

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., boards a plane Wednesday with his family and staff to leave Manchester, N.H., en route to South Carolina after the New Hampshire primary. With him is daughter Amanda Rubio (left), 15, and sons Anthony Rubio, 10, and Dominick Rubio, 8.

Jumbled Republican field hopes for survival in S.C. The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. – Hoping for survival in the South, a muddled field of Republican presidential contenders descended Wednesday on South Carolina, no closer to clarity about who can stand between Donald Trump and their party’s nomination.

Not me, Carly Fiorina announced, dropping out of the campaign. A Chris Christie spokeswoman said his race was over, too. But a sizable field remained.

To the dismay of party leaders, all signs point to a drawn-out battle for delegates following Trump’s resounding victory in New Hampshire.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, under immense pressure to prove himself after a devastating fifth-place finish, was looking for a fight that could last for months or even spill into the first contested GOP national convention since 1976.

“We very easily could be looking at May – or the convention,” Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan told The Associated Press.

If Trump had Republicans on edge, Democrats were feeling no less queasy.

Rejected in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton sought redemption in Nevada, where a more diverse group of voters awaited her and Bernie Sanders.

Sanders, a Vermont senator and self-proclaimed democratic socialist, raised $5 mil-

lion-plus in less than a day after his New Hampshire triumph. The contributions came mostly in small-dollar amounts, his campaign said, illustrating the resources he’ll have to fight Clinton to a bitter end.

Both Clinton and Sanders worked to undercut each other among African-Americans and Hispanics with less than two weeks until the Democratic contests in Nevada and South Carolina.

Sanders met for breakfast in Harlem with the Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil-rights activist.

Clinton, meanwhile, announced plans to campaign with the mother of Sandra Bland, whose death while in police custody became a symbol of racial tensions. And Clinton’s campaign deployed South Carolina state Rep. Todd Rutherford to vouch for her support for minorities.

“Secretary Clinton has been involved in South Carolina for the last 40 years,” Rutherford said. “Bernie Sanders has talked about these issues for the last 40 days.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the conservative firebrand and victor in the leadoff Iowa caucuses, returned to the center of the fracas after largely sitting out New Hampshire. He drew contrasts with Trump as he told a crowd of 500 in Myrtle Beach that Texans and South Carolinians are more alike than not.

“We love God, we’re gun owners, military veterans and we’re fed up with what’s happening in Washington,” Cruz said.

Iran’s drone over U.S. carrier 1st since 2014

By JON GAMBRELL

The Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The unarmed Iranian drone that flew over a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf last month is similar to those that can carry missiles and was the first to conduct an overflight of an American carrier since 2014, U.S. Navy records obtained Wednesday showed.

The Jan. 12 reconnaissance flight by Iran’s Shahed drone over the USS Harry S. Truman while a French aircraft carrier sailed nearby marked the latest tense naval encounter between the U.S. and Iran since Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

It also suggests that incidents like it, as well as another that saw Iranian speedboats fire rockets near U.S. warships and commercial traffic in late December, remain a danger in Gulf waterways crucial to global oil supplies.

“You’re one broken rocket fin away from creating a serious international incident that could have had unfortunate consequences,” said Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet based in Bahrain.

The Associated Press obtained video of the drone and a report about the overflight from the U.S. Navy through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The report said the drone flight happened as the Truman and the French

aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle were in international waters 89 nautical miles southwest of the Iranian port of Bushehr.

A French helicopter watched the Shahed-121 drone on the cloudy day and the U.S. Navy dispatched a Seahawk helicopter to film it as it flew over the Truman, a nuclear-powered carrier based out of Norfolk, Virginia.

The local U.S. Navy task force first described the drone’s overflight as “safe, routine and professional.” But the internal report says the Navy’s higher command later called it “safe, abnormal and unprofessional,” as Iranian drones seldom fly over U.S. carriers.

U.S. and French sailors repeatedly confirmed that the drone had its “wings clean,” the report said. That means it did not carry weapons and didn’t pose a risk to the ship, Stephens said.

“They’re operating in international airspace. You can’t shoot (it) down; that would be illegal,” he said.

Shahed, which means “witness” in both Farsi and Arabic, is a name of a family of drones produced by Iran. The Shahed-129 resembles the Israeli-built, V-tailed Elbit Systems Hermes 450, according to IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly, which suggests it may have been reverse-engineered from a downed drone.

Russia proposes March ceasefire in Syria; U.S. wants now

By MATTHEW LEE and BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press

MUNICH – Russia has proposed a March 1 ceasefire in Syria, U.S. officials said Wednesday, but Washington believes Moscow is giving itself and the Syrian government three weeks to try to crush moderate rebel groups.

The U.S. has countered with demands for the fighting to stop immediately, the officials said. Peace talks are supposed to resume by Feb. 25.

The talk of new ceasefire plans comes as the U.S., Russia and more than a dozen other countries meet in Munich to try to halt five years of civil war in the Arab country. The conflict has killed more than a quarter-million people, created Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since World War II and allowed the Islamic State to carve out its own territory across parts of Syria and neighboring Iraq.

Russia says it is supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government as part of a counterterrorism campaign.

But the West says the majority of its

The officials said the U.S. counterproposal is simple: A ceasefire that is effective immediately and is accompanied by full humanitarian access to Syria’s besieged civilian centers.

Secretary of State John Kerry, who arrived in Germany on Wednesday, had talks planned late in the evening with U.N. peace envoy Staffan de Mistura and Adel al-Jubeir, the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia, a key backer of Syria’s rebel groups.

The Obama administration has been trying for months to clinch a ceasefire and pave the way for a transition government in Syria that would allow parties to the conflict to concentrate on defeating the threat posed by the Islamic State and the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch, joined by Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, speaks Wednesday about Ferguson, Missouri, during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. The federal government sued Ferguson on Wednesday, one day after the City Council voted to revise an agreement aimed at improving the way police and courts treat poor people and minorities in the St. Louis suburb. struggling city nearly $4 million in the first year alone. The council voted, 6-0, Tuesday to adopt the deal, but with seven amendments.

Hours before the lawsuit was announced, Ferguson leaders said they were willing to sit down with Justice Department negotiators to draw up a new agreement.

That seemed unlikely from the outset. Within hours of the Tuesday vote, Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a statement that the department would take “the necessary legal actions” to ensure Ferguson’s police and court practices comply with the Constitution and federal laws.

Knowles said the seven amendments were formulated after the analysis showed the deal was so expensive it could lead to dissolution of Ferguson.

Ferguson has an operating budget of $14.5 million and already faces a $2.8 million deficit. Voters will be asked to approve two tax hikes in April, but approval of both would still leave the city short.

A big part of the cost was the requirement that Ferguson raise police salaries to attract better candidates, including more minority officers. Removal of the pay-raise clause was among the seven amendments.

Another provision the City Council added states that the agreement would not apply to any other governmental entity that might take over duties currently provided by Ferguson. That means,

FERGUSON, Mo. – The federal government sued Ferguson on Wednesday, one day after the City Council voted to revise an agreement aimed at improving the way police and courts treat poor people and minorities in the St. Louis suburb.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Ferguson’s decision to reject the deal left the Justice Department no choice except to file a civil-rights lawsuit.

“The residents of Ferguson have waited nearly a year for the city to adopt an agreement that would protect their rights and keep them safe. ... They have waited decades for justice. They should not be forced to wait any longer,” Lynch told a Washington news conference.

The Justice Department complaint accuses Ferguson of routinely violating residents’ rights and misusing law enforcement to generate revenue – a practice the government alleged was “ongoing and pervasive.”

Ferguson leaders “had a real opportunity here to step forward, and they’ve chosen to step backward,” Lynch said.

Ferguson spokesman Jeff Small declined to comment. Messages left with Mayor James Knowles III were not returned.

Ferguson has been under Justice Department scrutiny since 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, was fatally shot by white officer Darren Wilson 18 months ago. A grand jury and the Justice Department declined to prosecute Wilson, who resigned in November 2014.

But a scathing Justice Department report was critical of police and a profit-driven municipal court system.

Following months of negotiations, an agreement between the federal agency and Ferguson was announced in January.

A recent financial analysis determined the agreement would cost the

for example, that St. Louis County would not be beholden to the agreement if it takes over policing in Ferguson.

St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman said if the county were ever asked to take over policing in Ferguson, “we would consider the implications of the consent decree before entering into such an agreement.”

Knowles doesn’t believe neighboring municipal departments would agree to cover Ferguson under the Justice Department’s requirements.

Defiance has often defined Ferguson since Brown’s death.

Days after the shooting, then-Police Chief Tom Jackson released surveillance video showing Brown’s involvement in a theft at a small grocery store shortly before his death, with the burly teenager pushing the store owner. The video’s release only heightened anger among protesters.

Jerryl Christmas, a St. Louis attorney who has represented a number of Ferguson protesters, said the Justice Department now understands the frustration the black community has felt with the city for years.

“If you cannot operate a legal and just city, you don’t deserve to exist,” he said. “If you can’t put measures into place so you operate under the Constitution of the United States and guarantee rights to the citizens of the area, the city needs to dissolve.”

Ferguson resident Bob Hudgins, 52, an activist who plans to run for City Council, applauded the lawsuit.

“I’m proud of my federal government today,” Hudgins said.

Knowles has vigorously defended Ferguson. Even as protesters and civil rights leaders called for reforms, the mayor noted that Ferguson already was making changes to municipal courts aimed at easing the burden on people accused of minor violations. In fact, city revenue from court fees and fines has declined by hundreds of thousands of dollars since the shooting.

Did that tweet cost you a job?

Last week, we reported a recent study showed 43 percent of companies surveyed use social media as a screening tool in the hiring process, but some of McHenry County’s largest employers said checking a job candidate’s social media profiles had minimal place in their process.

A few tips on keeping a balance between your personal social media profile and what is out there for future employers: • Watch what you post. Are you complaining about your current boss or job every couple of posts? Are you often profane in what you put out for public consumption? Those are potential red flags, and hiring managers might reconsider based on that.

• Consider your photos. Are you drinking in every single picture? Is there anything questionable going on where your photo is being taken?

Consider shedding your tag on these photos or deleting them altogether.

• It seems minor, but improper grammar, spelling and other basic mistakes don’t reflect well, especially for jobs that require communication skills.

The O.J. trial and cameras in courtrooms Cameras are rarely allowed in New York courtrooms even though the law permits it.

Thanks, O.J. Simpson.

Simpson’s 1995 murder trial is back in the cultural conversation because of the FX miniseries, “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” Simpson, a Heisman Trophy winner, was accused of stabbing to death his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, at her Los Angeles condominium.

Simpson’s trial dominated the news in a way that hadn’t happened before and hasn’t happened since. The proceedings were televised wall to wall on CNN, the only 24-hour cable news network at the time. It made media stars of prosecutor Marcia Clark, Judge Lance Ito and Simpson’s “Dream Team” of lawyers, led by Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran and Robert Kardashian (yes, that Kar-

dashian). The case sparked endless water cooler conversations and percolated into pop culture.

At the end of the eight-month trial, a jury acquitted Simpson of murder. A misguided backlash against cameras in the courtroom followed.

The circus atmosphere outside Judge Ito’s courtroom wasn’t the fault of the cameras inside it. While the media outside chewed on issues of race, celebrity, domestic violence and police procedure, the cameras inside provided a view of the proceedings unfiltered by lawyers or journalists. Americans with the time to watch it were able to judge the evidence and the arguments for themselves. Whether you agreed or disagreed with the verdict, the trial’s openness gave the jury’s decision a legitimacy it would not have had otherwise.

In New York state, the rules allow cameras in courtrooms “to the fullest extent permissible by

law.” But it’s up to the judge to decide on a case-by-case basis.

Too few judges say yes.

The courts are the only branch of our government that operates largely out of the public eye. Journalists, as the eyes and ears of the public, are sometimes present. But they can’t be everywhere. Criminal defense lawyers almost always object to the presence of cameras based on fears the outcomes of their clients’ cases will be prejudiced. New York’s decadelong experiment with cameras in the courtroom showed those concerns could be addressed and balanced with the public’s right to know.

Jonathan Lippman, who recently retired as New York’s chief judge, believes cameras should be allowed in courtrooms unless there’s a good reason to ban them. As yet another step toward transparency in our government, we agree.

Get involved in township

To the Editor: There have been several letters published that are critical of McHenry Township, accusing the board of being a private club because of filling vacancies.

The board can’t function without the proper number of directors. It’s the law.

The appointment is only to serve for the term of the office remaining. The appointee, or anyone, has to be elected at the next election.

If it is a private club, it’s because you, Mr. and Mrs. McHenry Citizen, are letting it happen; you don’t vote. The directors and staff – and Senior Services – have done one hell of a good job, anyway.

Maybe the letter writers feel they could do a good job as a director? If you’re that interested, why not let the board know. Go to board meetings. They are not private.

Go online to mchenrytownship.com.

You will find the location of the township offices, the senior center and the food pantry, and more information you probably never knew about the township. It’s your township, and it’s there to service us.

The address is 3703 N. Richmond Road, Johnsburg. Johnsburg Road has a traffic light; turn left at the first driveway after the light, and you’ll see the township office building. Go in and see it. Then go to the senior center and find out what goes on there. Look at the grounds with sports fields and picnic area. It’s a great complex.

No one turned away

To the Editor: We would like to clarify information reported in the Jan. 29 front page article, “McHenry County agency faces challenges housing people after disasters.”

The article discussed the obstacles involved trying to find housing for those often displaced by fires or other disasters. The article incorrectly stated that because the gentleman lost his identification in a fire and was unable to prove his McHenry County residency, he was turned away from services by the Pioneer McHenry County PADS program and the emergency church shelter sites.

While Pioneer PADS has its rules for meeting certain requirements for services, the emergency church shelters do not turn anyone away who needs a place to stay.

These 11 church sites are independent from McHenry County PADS but work in cooperation. It takes countless volunteers and volunteer hours to run these emergency church shelter sites, and it is discouraging to all of those involved to read incorrectly that the churches turned this man away.

We also hate the thought that people may have read the article and thought they would be turned away from the churches. George did stay at the church sites for a short period of time, and we accommodated his needs until more

KEN WATANABE BATTLING CANCER, PROMISES RETURN

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2016

TOKYO – Ken Watanabe, one of a handful of Japanese actors who has made it on the international stage, underwent surgery for stomach cancer. But he has beaten serious sickness before, having had leukemia more than 20 years ago.

The early-stage cancer was found in a medical checkup, the Tony- and Oscar-nominated actor said on his Japanese Twitter account. His publicist confirmed the sickness Tuesday, noting the 56-year-old actor will be forced to delay his return to Broadway’s “The King and I.” But Watanabe said he’d be back. “I hate to worry you, but please wait,” he tweeted in Japanese. He had been scheduled to return to the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical from March 1 to April 17.

Eagles band members to honor Frey at Grammys

Gwen Stefani performs Oct. 17 during an exclusive concert in New York.

Target to sponsor Gwen Stefani video during Grammy Awards NEW YORK – Target has its bull’s-eye on the “Hollaback Girl” singer.

Target is sponsoring a four-minute live video by Gwen Stefani during The Grammy Awards on CBS on Monday, an unprecedented move that capitalizes on the current vogue for live TV events. She’ll perform the song “Make Me Like You,” which is being released Friday.

It’s a gamble for Target, since four minutes of prime-time ad time costs millions. And most TV ads are only about 30 or 60 seconds.

It is unclear how much Target spent on the video, but a 30-second spot cost $952,000 in the Grammys in 2014, according to Kantar Media.

Ad experts say the money could be well spent in an age of short attention spans, with more people shifting to watching TV on demand and on their smartphones, capturing people’s attention during big live events such as The Grammys is crucial. And attaching a star’s name to a company can have huge returns: For instance, Red Lobster said sales rose 33 percent the day after megastar Beyonce released a video mentioning the restaurant chain.

Live musical TV events, in particular, recently have been a hit. Fox’s “Grease Live” on Jan. 31 and NBC’s “The Wiz Live!” in December both scored huge ratings and much chatter on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

“These days, people can double-click and delete you, so advertisers are under pressure to make their content more engaging and relevant to their audience,” said brand consultant Allen Adamson, founder of Brand Simple Consulting. “I think it’s a gamble that will pay off.”

Of course, there’s no guarantee that people will sit through the video, said VCU Brandcenter marketing professor Kelly O’Keefe. “It’s definitely risky, but the upside is you really create a stir,” he said. “Whether or not they get that upside will depend on how good the music segment is.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Singer and songwriter Jackson Browne will join members of the Eagles in a tribute to the band’s founding member Glenn Frey during Monday’s 58th annual Grammy Awards.

Frey died Jan. 18 of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia at the age of 67. Browne will join the Eagles’ Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit and Bernie Leadon during a special performance during the show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Browne and Frey wrote together early on in their careers, including the Eagles’ first single in 1972 and one of their signature songs, “Take It Easy.”

The Grammy Awards will be broadcast live at 7 p.m. from Los Angeles on CBS.

Ireland’s ‘Game of Thrones’ road painted by mistake

ARMOY, Northern Ireland – “Game of Thrones” fans, don’t fret: Cleaners are coming.

Tourists who flock to Northern Ireland to visit the settings for the hit HBO fantasy series were incensed this week to discover that a road maintenance crew had painted a stark white line down the middle of the Dark Hedges, one of the most eagerly anticipated sights. The country road flanked by gloriously gnarled beech trees provides the otherworldly backdrop of Kingsroad, the central path through the mythical world of Westeros.

Government officials said the paint job was

a mistake and will be scrubbed off by Thursday. The modern markings ruined travelers’ photos but wouldn’t have affected the show, which uses special effects to obscure the road’s paved surface.

‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ heading to Broadway

NEW YORK – Harper Lee’s classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” – and its now-somewhat sullied hero Atticus Finch – are heading to Broadway in a new adaptation written by Aaron Sorkin.

Producer Scott Rudin said Wednesday the play will land during the 2017-18 season under the direction of Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, who is represented on Broadway now with the brilliant revivals of “The King and I” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” No casting was revealed.

Sorkin’s plays include “A Few Good Men” and “The Farnsworth Invention.” He won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for his screenplay for “The Social Network,” which Rudin produced, along with Sorkin’s other films “Steve Jobs” and “Moneyball.”

The book has been made the leap to the stage before, including a 1991 adaptation by Christopher Sergel that premiered at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse.

There also was a production in 2013 that had a run at London’s Barbican Theatre with Robert Sean Leonard in the role of Finch, the noble widower and lawyer called upon to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman in Depression-era Alabama. This new version will mark the story’s Broadway debut.

Dante Soiu, an Ohio man charged with stalking Paltrow by sending her dozens of messages and unsolicited gifts between 2009 and 2015, testified in his own defense about the correspondence at his trial Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Segall questioned why Paltrow would want to marry him after he had sent her so many lewd messages and she had to testify against him.

“I was trying to show I had changed and I had become a different person,” Soiu said. “I wanted to show a new face towards her.”

LOS ANGELES – An Ohio man charged with stalking Gwyneth Paltrow testified Wednesday that he sent her dozens of messages in the hope she might want to marry him despite her testifying against him in a previous stalking case.

Dante Soiu testified that he wanted his messages to show her unconditional love and friendship and that he had no animosity toward her over the earlier case, which sent him to a mental institution for several years. Soiu was charged after he sent Paltrow 500 messages, including sex toys and pornography, in 1999 and tried to meet her.

Soiu told jurors he wanted to let Paltrow know he was available and willing to marry her if the opportunity arose. His lawyers called him to testify in his own defense in the felony stalking case.

He sent Paltrow 66 messages and packages between 2009 and 2015, but none of the recent correspondence included pornography.

Paltrow testified Monday that she was afraid of Soiu and began crying when she expressed fears about her children’s safety.

Deputy District Attorney Wendy

trow were the only ones that expressed an interest in marriage.

Soiu was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2000 in a previous case involving pornographic messages he sent to Paltrow. He was sent to a mental institution for several years, then re-arrested last year after sending the actress new correspondence.

He said he was addicted to pornography at the time but said he is now on medication and considers himself healed.

The recent batch of letters described Soiu’s intention to marry the actress as well as a pair of earrings he sent her in 2009 as a Christmas gift, some secondhand clothes and a Weight Watchers cookbook. He has also sent her religious books, and forwarded her letters he has sent to President Barack Obama and actress Angelina Jolie.

One letter described Paltrow “bowing to death,” a reference the actress said she found disturbing.

Soiu, a self-described born again Christian from Columbus, Ohio, said he was referencing spiritual, not physical death, in his letters.

He said he hoped the Oscar winner would write him back if she wanted him to stop. “I wanted her to at least be a pen pal or at least say something,” Soiu said.

has made it no secret he’s comfortable with the relationship as it is and doesn’t intend for it to progress. It appears the two of you are best friends. (Nowhere did you mention you are in love with him.)

I do think after all this time you should ask him why the relationship hasn’t become sexual. The answer might be Roger is impotent, asexual or he’s just not interested in you that way.

If that’s OK with you, then continue what appears to be a pleasant relationship.

However, if you need more – and I think you do – then it’s time for you to move on.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby: My mother won’t stop nagging me about marriage. She insists I “must” be married by the age of 22 and have kids by 25, which I think is inconceivable. Abby, I’m only 17.

Marriage and boys are the last things on my mind.

I have told her that her “talks” make me uncomfortable and I don’t plan on getting married anytime soon (if ever), but she won’t let up.

She keeps saying she knows she’s right, and when I’m 22 I’ll thank her. Other than this, she’s great and we don’t have any other problems.

She has been saying this a lot recently because I’m going off to college this year, and that’s where she thinks I’ll find a husband. How can I get through to her? – Virgin Territory Dear Virgin Territory: It

would be interesting to know why your mother feels this way. Could she have been born and raised in a culture in which early marriage and motherhood are expected of women?

With her mindset, I don’t think you will “win” an argument with her over this.

Be patient with her, and when she raises the subject, point out women of your generation are expected to complete their education and be able to support themselves financially before they marry in case the need arises later (i.e. divorce or widowhood). It’s a fact. Women in the United States – particularly college-educated women – are now marrying and having children later than they did a generation ago.

Dear Abby: “Roger” and I have been seeing each other for two years. (We are both 50.) He is very handsome.

We go to movies, ride our bikes together, work out at the gym and attend other events. He calls me every night, sends emails during the day – even calls me when he’s on a break from work.

He never asks me to pay for anything and sends me flowers on special occasions.

He will kiss me goodnight, but he has never held my hand or been affectionate in any other way. People we see think we’re married or seriously dating and have asked about it. He tells them we just “hang out” and he’s just a friend.

Roger says he’s seeing only me, but he’s on a dating website every night instant messaging younger women and talking to them for hours.

I know it because one of my girlfriends is on the same site and checked it out for me.

Radiation treatment has risks Dear Dr. K: I had radiation therapy for breast cancer a few years ago. Now I’m reading radiation therapy might increase my risk for heart disease. Is this true?

Dear Reader: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to damage or destroy cancer cells. It harms cancer cells primarily by damaging their genes. But the radiation also can damage the genes of healthy cells.

Newer radiation techniques allow higher doses of radiation to be aimed more precisely at the area being treated. This reduces damage to healthy tissue near a tumor, but it doesn’t eliminate it completely. For example, radiation to the chest, as done during breast cancer treatment, can harm the heart muscle, arteries and valves.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Deepak Bhatt, executive director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital Heart and Vascular Center. He noted in women who have had breast radiation, the lifetime risk of having a heart attack or another major cardiac event increases about 3 percent. Women who have radiation to the left breast, which is closer to the heart, have a higher chance of problems. The overall dose of radiation also plays a role.

Radiation-related heart effects can emerge as soon as five years after treatment. So women who have breast cancer at a younger age may develop heart problems earlier than would otherwise be expected.

Undergoing baseline heart tests before treatment starts sometimes can help doctors monitor heart changes. That way, they can be addressed quickly if they occur.

You might not be able to protect yourself completely from the side effects of radiation, but you can take other steps to bolster your heart health. Here are some proven strate-

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff gies to help reduce your heart disease risk: • Avoid tobacco.

• Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

• Adopt a healthy eating plan. That means choosing unsaturated and monounsaturated fats instead of trans fats or saturated fats; eating more fiber; and reducing your salt intake.

• Maintain a healthy weight (a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9).

• Control blood pressure, with medication if needed.

• Control cholesterol, with a statin if needed.

• Control blood sugar with exercise, dietary changes and medications if needed.

Both patients and doctors frequently are frustrated by the fact a treatment that improves one medical problem sometimes can cause another. This is an example. Of course, doctors and research scientists constantly are trying to find treatments where the benefits greatly exceed the risks. But there are, unfortunately, very few treatments that have absolutely no risks.

Compared to when I was a medical student, the treatment of breast cancer – through medication, radiation and surgery – has greatly improved. Today’s treatments are both more effective and less risky. And I’ll bet in the next few decades, the situation will improve further.

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge had led Waukegan by as many as 17 points in the first half, but somehow with 3:12 left in the third quarter that lead had disappeared.

The Wolves never had trailed to that point, and in the next three minutes, two seniors ensured it would stay that way.

In the next 1:12, Prairie Ridge senior guard Payton Otto scored nine consecutive points to restore the lead. Christopher Bradshaw then scored four straight to give the Wolves a 48-35 lead at the end of the third.

That run was all they needed to regain control, and they went on to beat Waukegan, 67-46, Wednesday night in a nonconference game at Prairie Ridge.

“This time of the year we’ve been through the fire a little bit and that’s kind of how our games go,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “If we’re not turning people over and they’re getting some shots, they’re going to score a little bit. And it also helps our offense.

Prairie Ridge guard Christopher Bradshaw (right) goes up for a layup past Waukegan guard Tremayne Gwinn during Wednesday night’s game at Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake. Bradshaw had a team-high 17 points in the Wolves’ 67-46 victory.

The Wolves’ depth was useful in an up-tempo contest. Nine players scored for the Wolves.

“We play a lot of kids,” Card said. “Our two leading scorers are right around 12, and then we have probably seven kids that are at four and above. Christopher (Bradshaw) shot it well early, and then kind of lost his touch, and then Payton did get in foul trouble, and we have two or three more kids that just come in and play.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 1A ROCKFORD CHRISTIAN LIFE REGIONAL

Giants had hopes of winning 2nd straight regional crown @AKantecki

Tweet from last night My sister got the good genes ... Still holds 3 @PrairieRidgeHS track and field records. – @AKantecki (reporter Alex Kantecki)

What to watch NHL: Dallas at Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m., CSN The top two teams in the Central Division square off two nights after Hawks coach Joel Quenneville stormed out of a postgame news conference frustrated over another disallowed goal after a coaches challenge in a 2-0 loss to San Jose.

About time ...

You know those play-in NCAA tournament games in Dayton every year? Well, the NCAA won’t try to force us to call them first-round games anymore, the organization decided Wednesday. The first round will go back to being the Round of 64 games again this year.

ROCKFORD – One by one, players from the Alden-Hebron girls basketball team filed out of a classroom behind the gymnasium at Rockford Christian Life High School.

Each one had tears streaming down her face. Moments later, Giants players wiped away their tears and posed with fans and family members who made the 80-mile round trip from Hebron.

“It was definitely a ride,” junior Tally Lalor said after the Giants dropped a Class 1A Christian Life Regional semifinal to Forreston, 45-28, Wednesday to end their season. “The number of wins shows. Seeing everyone after the game upset, it really shows. We were like a family.”

Alden-Hebron (16-10) had dreams of winning a second regional title after last year’s Giants won the first in program history – and the first postseason title for any A-H team since the boys won a district championship in 1957.

But a slow start, which included only three points in the second quarter and a 3-of-25 shooting effort in the first half, prevented A-H from having another shot. Forreston, which pressured the Giants into 22 turnovers, made six 3-pointers and will face top-seeded Durand in the final Friday.

went, I would have liked to stem the flow earlier, but we really took some quick shots and didn’t pressure them, and they did a good job of rebounding and getting back in the game.”

Bradshaw led the Wolves (20-3) with 17 points, and Otto finished with 13.

Kyle Loeding added 11 points, and Brian Dorn chipped in nine.

Waukegan was led by a game-high 22 points from Bryant Brown.

the ball fast, and they always did skip passes and we couldn’t get there in time,” senior Hannah Warren said. “I feel like because we had a lot of underclassmen, they were terrified. Going in, they were all shook up. We just couldn’t recover from the beginning of the game.”

One of A-H’s freshmen, Kylee Winter, stepped up and kept the Giants in the game. She missed her first five shots, but scored 10 points in the third quarter on her way to a game-high 16 points. The Giants outscored the Cardinals, 13-11, in the third, and trailed 33-23 going into the fourth.

But A-H went cold and made only one of 10 shots in the final quarter.

Asked about what he was feeling during the run, Otto shrugged it off.

To him it was straightforward enough: better effort, better shots and better defense.

In A-H’s opening-round win against Faith Lutheran on Monday, eight players scored. Only four scored Wednesday, as Winter accounted for more than half of her team’s offense. Warren and Lalor each added five points, and Emily Webber had two.

Webber, one of the Giants’ biggest offensive threats this season, had just come from the dentist after getting a couple of teeth implanted. She lost two in A-H’s regular-season finale win against Hiawatha after getting pushed down, and still finished that game with 19 points and 24 rebounds.

“Her mouth was numb, she couldn’t talk or nothing,” A-H coach Marty Hammond said.

Despite Wednesday’s loss, the Giants finished with the same amount of wins as last year’s team.

“It was a team that never gave up, and was learning throughout the entire year,” Hammond said. “We were a very young team. We had four freshmen and one sophomore out of nine kids. For them to come away with 16 wins, that’s a tribute to what their performance was the entire year.”

Wolves had blitzed the Bulldogs at the outset of each of the first two quarters by forcing turnovers, driving to the basket and making smart passes.

In the first, Bradshaw hit three 3-pointers to help the Wolves build their 23-13 lead after one quarter. To start the second, the Wolves forced three consecutive turnovers and scored six points to stretch the lead to 29-13. They led 33-23 at halftime.

“Last Saturday, we had a players meeting talking about our warmup.

We really needed to come out with some energy and we tried to do that tonight,” Bradshaw said. “We came out with energy, talk is huge on defense and that kind of started them off with some turnovers on defense right away, which led to some easy buckets, and that energy really sparked us right away, and we can’t come out flat.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: McHENRY 45, LAKES 32

Inside Boys Basketball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Adam Pischke Marian Central, sr., G The area scoring leader at 23.6 points a game had a pair of big games as the Hurricanes won at Nazareth and at home against Willowbrook.

On Friday, Pischke scored 26 points and hit 10 of 12 free throws as Marian defeated Nazareth, 64-63, in an East Suburban Catholic Conference game.

The 5-foot-11 point guard came back with 27 points and hit 16 of 16 free throws in the Hurricanes’ 58-55 victory over Willowbrook on Tuesday.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Prairie Ridge (19-3): The Wolves are the first team to supplant Jacobs in the top spot this season. They have won eight consecutive games with good scoring balance and tough zone defense.

2. Jacobs (19-5): The Golden Eagles stumbled in overtime at St. Charles North, 53-46, Tuesday night. They knocked off Crystal Lake South, 51-44, Friday to clinch a share of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division.

3. Marian Central (15-6): The Hurricanes won two close games, at Nazareth and hosting Willowbrook, to remain at the No. 3 spot ahead of Marengo. They are out of the ESCC race, but need wins to land the best regional seed possible.

4. Marengo (18-6): The Indians scratched out a win at North Boone, 56-51, Saturday in a game they trailed most of the way. Marengo then beat Crystal Lake Central, 85-56, in one of its best shooting games of the season, scoring its season-high. The Indians have won eight in a row and 10 of their past 11.

5. Woodstock (15-5): The Blue Streaks likely will not catch Prairie Ridge and Grayslake North, the FVC Fox Division leaders, but want to build momentum toward the postseason, where they hope to be a factor.

NOTEWORTHY Pischke update: Pischke likely will decide which college he will attend and play basketball for within the next two months. Pischke, who has hit 44 3-pointers, has three schools atop his list: Lewis and Belmont Abbey (North Carolina) both are NCAA Division II schools, while Roosevelt University in Chicago is an NAIA school.

Pischke, a three-year starter and Marian’s career scoring leader, is averaging 23.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals a game. He spends a lot of time at the foul line, where he has hit 151 of 190 for 79.5 percent.

“Right now, Lewis is probably my favorite,” Pischke said. “I’ve been talking to Belmont Abbey, so I’m going to check that out after the season. Roosevelt has been recruiting me pretty hard and I like that [school].”

Lewis has been Pischke’s No. 1 throughout the year. One of the Flyers’ assistant coaches is former Marian coach Kevin Dix. Belmont Abbey is a small D-II Catholic school in Belmont, North Carolina.

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week Marquee matchup: Friday’s game between Jacobs and Crystal Lake South included two of the area’s top players, Jacobs center Cameron Krutwig and South guard Zach Geske, neither of whom disappointed.

At one point, Krutwig had 20 consecutive points for the Golden Eagles, as his teammates just kept feeding the 6-9 junior inside. Not to be outdone, Geske made some dazzling driving shots, three times going at Krutwig to score.

Twice, Geske flipped left-handed shots off the backboard, over Krutwig, in the third quarter.

Krutwig finished with a career-high 32 points as the Eagles won, 51-44. Krutwig has 883 points for his career, with four remaining regular-season games. Geske had 18, along with a load of respect from Jacobs.

“I thought Geske had more than 18,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “He did a heck of a job making shots. I thought we made things difficult for him.”

Climbing higher: Marengo senior Zach Knobloch is tied with Rockford Lutheran’s Thomas Kopelman with 361 career 3-pointers for fourth on the IHSA list. Kopelman graduated last year. Knobloch is 10 behind 1991 Canton graduate Kevin Rhodes and has four remaining regular-season games.

New-look postseason: Coaches are eager to see how the regional tournaments shake out this year with the IHSA not determining regional pairings until after the sub-sectionals, or in some cases sectionals, are seeded.

In recent years, the regional setups previously were determined, but the IHSA switched in hopes of improving the postseason.

In Class 3A, Marian Central, Marengo and Woodstock all are in Sub-Sectional B of the Woodstock North Sectional. Boylan and Genoa-Kingston are two of the other top teams on that side. Woodstock and Freeport are regional hosts, with 11 teams divided between those regionals.

In 4A, Jacobs and Huntley join mostly Upstate Eight Conference teams in Sub-Sectional A of the Rock Valley College Sectional. Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge join Northern Illinois Conference-10 teams in Sub-Sectional B. South is a regional host.

Also in 4A, Cary-Grove, Dundee-Crown and McHenry all go to the Fremd Sectional, which is seeded as an entire sectional.

THIS WEEK’S TOP GAME Prairie Ridge vs. Grayslake North, 7 p.m. Friday in Grayslake Prairie Ridge leads the FVC Fox Division with an unbeaten record, but the Knights are 19-2 for the season. The Wolves hit nine 3s in the second half of their first meeting to win.

Warriors sub-par, but still victorious

By TIM SIECK

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

sports@nwherald.com McHENRY – Ask any coach or player on the McHenry boys basketball team what they thought of their effort Wednesday against Lakes and the answer was the same.

“We had no energy the whole game,” Warriors guard Nick Bellich said. “Our warmups were really bad and we just didn’t play well. Luckily, we are a really balanced team with a bunch of guys who can score eight to 10 points a game and we don’t rely on one player.”

The positive the Warriors were able to take from Wednesday’s game is that even though they admittedly didn’t play their best on either side of the ball, they still came away with a convincing victory. Behind a balanced effort on offense, and a defensive effort that yielded only 10 Lakes (11-13) baskets, McHenry defeated Lakes, 45-32, in a nonconference game at McHenry High School’s West Campus.

The Warriors (11-14) finally have had their full complement of players for the past three games with the return of Bellich and Corey Lersch, and both were key contributors. Bellich hit three 3-pointers, including two to start the fourth quarter that increased the McHenry lead to 18, and Lersch pulled down six rebounds in his limited action. The Warriors are 3-0 in games they have had their entire roster available.

On a night when the home team lacked energy, the Warriors were looking for anything to ignite them and the crowd. Matthew Mohr provided that spark in the second quarter. With McHenry clinging to a three-point lead,

q THE NUMBER Baskets allowed by McHenry, four of which were late in the fourth quarter

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Wednesday’s game featured two odd plays. At the end of the first quarter, a Warrior basket was waived off after a clock malfunction, but then a few moments later was allowed. Also in the first quarter, two McHenry players were forced to substitute and go to the locker room to change because logos were showing on their undershirts, a rule officials received an email about today from the IHSA to begin enforcing.

Mohr intercepted a Lakes pass, drove the distance and finished with an emphatic dunk. That would be the closest Lakes would get the rest of the night.

“We were able to see some of the things they like to do in the scouting report so I wanted to get in the passing lane,” Mohr said. “I was able to do that, get the steal and took it in for the dunk.”

McHenry shot the ball much better in the second half, shooting 50 percent. The Warriors were led by Mohr with 12 points and Bellich with 10.

“This was an off night, but it was important to still get the win,” McHenry coach Tim Paddock said. “We played great the last two games and just didn’t have the passion and enthusiasm tonight. It’s a great sign when you don’t play well and still get the win.”

Kenyan athletes allege doping bribery

EMBU, Kenya – Two Kenyan athletes serving four-year bans for doping at the 2015 world championships say the chief executive of Athletics Kenya, the country’s governing body for track and field, asked them each for a $24,000 bribe to reduce their suspensions.

Joy Sakari and Francisca Koki Manunga told The Associated Press that CEO Isaac Mwangi asked for the payment in an Oct. 16 meeting, but that they could not raise the money. They were informed of their four-year bans in a Nov. 27 email, but never filed a criminal complaint because, they say, they had no proof to back up Marian Central girls lose to Benet their bribery accusation and also feared Academy in conference action repercussions.

Marengo High School will induct six new members into the Marengo Hall of Fame at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the high school auditorium.

The inductees are Ed Reeves and Bob Tirk for commitment, Matt Dunker for extracurricular, Ken Dunek and Dorothy Kometani Kittaka for personal achievement, and Bob Botts for service.

Reeves spent the past 32 years of his teaching and coaching careers at Marengo, where he was head coach in boys track and an assistant in football and basketball. He came to Marengo in 1962 and was recognized by former students and athletes as someone who got the most out of them and cared for them on and off the field.

Dunker was one of Marengo’s best three-sport athletes as a football and basketball player, and a field events standout in track and field. He played college football as a tight end at Northern Illinois University and now coaches and teaches at Crystal Lake South.

He caught passes for more than 2,000 yards in his high school career and placed fifth in the Class A triple jump at the 1998 IHSA boys track and field state meet.

Tirk was Marengo’s band director from 1973 through 1994, during which time the band grew to include more

than 150 students and had three jazz bands.

Dunek, a 1975 graduate, was a standout basketball player in high school for legendary Indians coach Bill Barry and started his college career at Paducah Community College before transferring to Memphis State. There, his career took an unforeseen turn when he switched to football as a tight end in 1978. Dunek made the 1980 Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent and played in Super Bowl XV, which the Eagles lost to Oakland.

Dunek also played with the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants before finishing his professional career in the USFL with the Philadelphia Stars.

Kittaka, a Japanese-American woman, has taught music for 34 years in Illinois and Indiana and co-founded the Foundation for Art and Music in Elementary Education (FAME) in 1987.

FAME has reached 4.5 million children and adults. Not until her 55th high school reunion did Kittaka reveal to her classmates that, during World War II in Washington state, her family was incarcerated in an internment camp.

Botts taught business at Marengo High School for 33 years and among his acts of service was founding the Marengo Area Schools Education Foundation, which has raised money to invest in the Marengo schools.

Conservation Congress a huge success OUTDOORS Steve Sarley I had the privilege of attending the first McHenry County Conservation Congress on Saturday at McHenry County College.

It was held to plan the future of the county’s green space management and recreational availability. More than 100 delegates representing dozens of organizations and interest groups assembled to discuss the fate and future of the county’s public lands in the next 50 years.

Some of the groups represented included many northern Illinois towns, counties and villages, as well as agricultural organizations, The Land Conservancy, Friends of the Fox, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, educational boards and groups, fraternal groups and many more.

I’ll admit that I had trepidation walking into the facility. But the delegates I met and spoke with were outdoors people from a cross section of participants in almost every outdoor recreation imaginable.

Some of the groups representing

After introductory remarks, speakers gave short presentations. Then the delegates broke into small discussion groups of about a dozen delegates each, where questions were posed and the floor was opened for discussion.

Volunteers moderated the discussions and volunteers recorded the dialogue.

After an hour of lively back-andforth, the delegates returned to the main auditorium for the next speaker.

Then the focus groups met again. The

process was repeated four times.

The main presenters were Fran P. Mainella, the 16th director of the National Park Service; Suzanne Malec-McKenna, executive director of Chicago Wilderness; Brook McDonald, president/CEO for the Conservation Foundation; and Peter Murphy, president/CEO of the Illinois Association of Park Districts. All did a wonderful job.

8 BLACKHAWKS

Cups far more important than goals for Hossa

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Marian Hossa doesn’t cheat.

You never see Hossa lingering along the blue line, idly hoping for an outlet pass. You never see Hossa peel away from the corner before a puck battle is won. You never see Hossa go through the motions in the defensive zone, conserving his energy for any transition chances.

At least, you never see it anymore.

“When I was younger, I was strictly offense,” Hossa said.

“Definitely. When I came to the league, I Marian Hossa was all about offense, and didn’t worry about defense at all. I just wanted to score goals. But I had so many good seasons and never won anything. Eventually, I realized I’d rather win something and not worry about if I scored 40 or 30 goals.”

As Hossa approaches the magical 500-goal mark – he enters Thursday’s game against Dallas with 496 in his 17-season career – it’s worth noting that if he really wanted to, he could have passed 500 long ago. With his remarkable combination of speed, size, power and skill, Hossa spent most of the 2000s tearing up the league, three times scoring 40 or more goals in a season.

And even at 37 years old, Hossa is an offensive menace, able to outrun and outmuscle opponents barely half his age. Witness his virtuoso performance in Arizona last week, when he was the best and most active player on the ice, posting a goal and an assist, and having another goal disallowed.

“We all know what Hoss can do offensively,” longtime linemate Jonathan Toews said. “What makes him such a special player is how good he is at both ends of the ice, though.”

There wasn’t one revelatory moment for Hossa, an epiphanic thunderbolt that transformed him into a two-way player. It happened more gradually than that, with the metamorphosis becoming complete during his three-year quest to win his first Stan-

Up next

vs. Dallas, 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, CSN, AM-720 ley Cup. After losing in the Final with Pittsburgh in 2008 and then Detroit in 2009, Hossa signed with the Blackhawks to make a third run at a championship. The agony of those two Final losses weighed on Hossa, and suddenly a 40-goal season wasn’t as fulfilling as it used to be.

And when he looked around at all the young talent on his new team, Hossa realized he didn’t have to do all the heavy lifting offensively, and that he could chip in and lead in other ways to complement his new teammates.

“It’s hard to play really hard both ways because you don’t have as much juice after,” Hossa said. “But I knew I could help defensively with backchecking and trying to help shut down top lines. With players like Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad and now (Artemi) Panarin who can go full speed offensively, I don’t have to worry. I can kind of split the difference.”

It’s not that Hossa doesn’t want to score goals. He certainly has been frustrated at times with his shockingly low 6.3 shooting percentage – barely half his career average – and his relatively low output this season. Only two years ago, he scored 30 goals. Last year, he had 22.

So far this year, he has only 10, making his expected triumphant march to 500 more of a slog than anyone anticipated. And, sure, even Hossa admitted he started to wonder if he’d even get there this year, especially during a 14-game drought around New Year’s.

But the Hawks are in first place.

And to Hossa, that’s all that matters.

Yes, he probably could have scored No. 500 a long time ago. But with experience comes perspective.

It’s not about the goals. It’s about the goal.

“I really don’t care about it,” Hossa said of No. 500. “If it’s 500 or 600, it doesn’t make a difference in my life. It definitely would be nice to get the milestone, but I’d rather be winning Stanley Cups. That makes me happier.”

HAWKS 113, BULLS 90

Gibson joins team’s long list of injured in 3rd quarter

From left are, Jimmy Butler, E’Twaun Moore, Bobby Portis, Mike Dunleavy, Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich. sition from the defensive obsession of former coach Tom Thibodeau to the more free-flowing offensive designs of rookie mentor Fred Hoiberg.

Whether Hoiberg could install that offense with a healthy roster has been an ongoing question.

Where the Bulls are headed with their injury-depleted roster is whole other deal.

Derrick Rose returned from the “gen-

eral soreness” that sidelined him Monday to score 14 points on 6-of-18 shooting, with five rebounds and three assists.

Rose has been playing with more energy and productivity, but not enough to lift the faltering Bulls.

With Jimmy Butler out three to four weeks with a strained left knee, the Bulls are without their best player. With two other important contributors out, Nikola Mirotic (appendectomy) and Joakim

BULLS NOTES

Change of plans: Gasol heading to All-Star game

By HERB GOULD

hgould@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Pau Gasol, who had been planning a rejuvenating getaway for the All-Star break, said he’s honored to go to Toronto instead after being named to fill in for injured teammate Jimmy Butler.

“I would have embraced the rest,” Gasol said Wednesday. “When I wasn’t selected to be a starter by 360 votes and I wasn’t selected to be a reserve by the coaches, I was disappointed at first.

But I was putting a really nice trip together, which now I have to cancel.

The good news is that I’ll be participating in All-Star weekend. It’s an honor I’m proud of.”

As an added bonus, while Gasol will miss visiting a warm-weather destination he declined to identify, he is excited to be a participant in the last AllStar appearance of Kobe Bryant, with

whom he shared some great moments on the Lakers.

“For sure. That was one of the things that was disappointing for me, not to make it directly,” Gasol said. “I wanted to be in his last AllStar game. What Kobe means to me as a teammate and a friend, it’s a lot. Unfortunately, it’s because of Jimmy’s inPau Gasol jury.”

Mirotic update: Nikola Mirotic faces a long road back from an appendectomy and hematoma removal, but is taking some encouraging steps.

“I saw Niko [on Tuesday],” said Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg, adding that Mirotic was scheduled to have his stitches removed Wednesday. “He’s still in a lot of pain. He lost a lot of weight. He lost about 15 pounds with the complication. It’s a tough situation.

[Getting] his stitches out will hopefully get him more upright and moving around. But still no timeframe on Niko. After he gets these stitches out and is able to move around a little bit more and get in the hot tub and pool, (we’ll) get him progressing in the right direction.”

‘The right decision’ on Rose: Hoiberg defended the decision to have Derrick Rose sit out Monday night’s game at Charlotte even though the Bulls faced a tough situation without Butler.

“It was the right decision,” the Bulls coach said. “It was our fifth game in seven nights. And he wasn’t moving around well leading into that game. So we made the decision collectively to sit Derrick. A lot of it was based on how he was moving around.

Hopefully, the couple days of rest will get him playing well. After the break, 30 games, we’re going to need him for all those.”

Although his reputation for injuries tends to overshadow it, Rose, who has missed only seven games this season, is tracking to play the most games he’s appeared in since he won his MVP award in 2010-11.

Rose also has been playing solidly lately.

“He’s playing the best he has all year, the way we need him to play,” Hoiberg said. “If Derrick can play with this style and a healthy roster, good things will happen.”

Quick notes: The Bulls were trying to snap a four-game losing streak at the United Center. They had lost 12 of their previous 17 games, and were returning home after a seven-game road trip in which they went 2-5. ... This is the sixth All-Star appearance for Gasol, and his second straight. Artis Gilmore and Joakim Noah are the only other Bulls big men to earn back-to-back All-Star honors.

CHICAGO – Identity crisis? Sure looks that way.

Taj Gibson brought it up when the Bulls finished their seven-game trip with another thud that left them 2-5 on that rocky road.

That continued to be the issue in the latest episode of The Days of the Bulls’ Lives, a 113-90 loss to Atlanta on Wednesday night at a restless United Center.

Adding to their injury woes, Gibson departed with a left-foot strain with 4:48 remaining in the third quarter and did not return.

It was the Bulls’ fifth straight loss at home. And so, the soul-searching will continue among their fans and within a struggling organization that has lost 13 of its past 18 games.

A team that began the season thinking it had a chance to go deep in the playoffs now needs to find finish strong or risk not making the playoffs. That’s something to ponder as the Bulls head into the All-Star break.

The identity crisis Gibson mentioned relates to the Bulls’ uneasy tran-

Noah (shoulder surgery), a lot of fresh faces are seeing more playing time than expected. Depending on Gibson’s status, the problem could grow worse.

Gasol, who will take Butler’s place at the All-Star game, gave another strong offensive performance, contributing 20 points and 10 rebounds. Doug McDermott added 17 points.

Beyond that trio, however, the Bulls didn’t deliver much offensive punch.

And with their defensive identity out of town along with Thibs, the Bulls were in over their heads once again.

Down 53-48 at the half, the Bulls cut the lead to 53-51 on a Rose 3. But an 11-0 Atlanta run put the Hawks on top 6853 with 9:30 left in the third. The Bulls were never a threat after that.

Seven Hawks feasted on the Bulls for double-figures scoring, including backup guard Dennis Schroeder (18), Jeff Teague (17) and veteran big man Al Horford (16).

Hoiberg knows nobody is buying the injury excuse. And he’s not selling it.

“It’s been difficult,” the coach said.

“It’s part of the game. [Injuries] happen. Nobody feels sorry for us. And we can’t feel sorry for ourselves. You do that and teams pounce all over you.

And it gets ugly.”

Momentum, he added, only tends to make the situation worse.

“When you’re struggling a little bit,” Hoiberg said, “it’s human nature to put your head down. We can’t afford to do that.”

Continued from page 6 At the completion of the presentations and focus groups, the delegates assembled to participate in a congressional poll and to pledge their support by signing the Fundamental Declaration of Conservation Principles. The document is available at www.mccdistrict.org.

The State of Illinois has held two Conservation Congresses in its history.

The State of Wisconsin recently held its own Conservation Congress. This is something that is done on a statewide level. Counties don’t normally expend the time and energy to stage events such as this massive undertaking.

The McHenry County Conservation Congress was proposed in August. It took every bit of six months to put it together.

“This happened because of the tremendous effort put forth by our incredible team of volunteers,” MCCD Executive Director Elizabeth Kessler said. “We have the best volunteers anywhere. They are the reason for the success of this great event.”

Personally, I have seen activities where a governmental agency asks for input and opinions from groups and delegates but actually has an underlying motive. I have found that the agency has a preplanned agenda going into the meeting and the opinions of the people merely are window dressing.

This certainly was not the case at the McHenry County Conservation Congress. The district truly wants to know what the people think about the future of green space and outdoor recreation in McHenry County. The opinions will be made available to the public as soon as they are compiled.

People are more concerned about green space than I had believed.

I learned that in the past 20 years there hasn’t been a single ballot issue concerning the acquisition of more public land that has been defeated in the six-county area we reside in. People want public land and are willing to pay for it. School issues get voted down.

“FIFTY WORST DATES”

CL Central Comedy Team to host Valentine’s Day-themed show

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Crystal Lake Central High School’s Improv Comedy Team wants to take you on “Fifty Worst Dates” and whatever else comes up.

The team of 13 students is hosting an improv and sketch comedy show at 7 p.m. Feb. 12 in the school’s auditorium. Tickets cost $5 for adults, $4 for couples, $3 for students and $2 for students with activity passes.

The students, who call themselves “The Laughletes,” host at least four shows a year, as well as occasional lunchtime shows at the school.

The Valentine’s Day-themed show is a tradition, said team member Rachel Stein, a sophomore who auditioned for the team after trying improv at a theater camp.

“It’s super fun and addicting,” she said. “It’s a different vibe. …You’ll just be laughing all night.”

Along with the show, “Fifty Worst Dates,” the comedy team will host audience-led games and a raffle.

The raffle prize? Junior Gabe Harmon, a member of the team.

“He’s like the teen heartthrob, and all the girls like him,” Stein said.

Win and you might get to sit next to Harmon, joked Stein, and he’ll give you chocolate, flowers, balloons and a signed head shot. “We’re kind of still deciding, but those are some of the ideas,” she said.

Under the guidance of coach Craig Kingston, the drama director at the school and an English teacher, the team first formed in 1993 when Kingston invited a Second City alum to host workshops with students. That led to a school performance.

“The kids had so much fun that first year, they were like, ‘We’ve got to do this every year,’ ” Kingston said.

In the past, more Second City performers have visited, and students have gone on to perform at Second City themselves, he said.

“One of the things I hear most, especially from graduates, is how improv skills are life skills,” he said.

“You know, from interviewing with jobs to working with a customer to any kind of interaction you have with people, the ability to understand your audience, the ability to think on your feet, the ability to have confidence when you’re interacting are skills that can benefit you no matter what you’re doing,” he said.

“SLEEPING BEAUTY (WITH A ROCK AND ROLL TWIST!)”

2440 Westward Dr., Unit C • Spring Grove, IL 60081

‘GHOSTBUSTERS II’: THE WORLD ENDS THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

By DAN ZAK

The Washington Post In one of the opening scenes of “Ghostbusters II,” a washed-up Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) shoots an episode of his rinky-dink TV show “World of the Psychic.” One of the guests is a spooked woman named Elaine, who claims to have encountered an alien at the Holiday Inn in Paramus, New Jersey. The alien, after buying her a cocktail at the hotel bar, took her back to its room/spaceship and told her the world would end on Feb. 14, 2016.

“Valentine’s Day,” Venkman says, looking into the camera. “Bummer.”

This Valentine’s Day, actually. At the time of the movie’s release in 1989, the date was nearly 27 years away, but here we are now, on its cusp.

News alert: Futuristic dates have a way of catching up with us. They also unleash a wave of pop-culture nostalgia and armchair futurism. Recall the hubbub over Oct. 21, 2015, the date to which Marty McFly travels in “Back to the Future Part II” (also released in ’89). Cultural commentators itemized the ways in which the imagined world of 2015 compared to the actual world of 2015. (Yes, there are now “hover-

boards”; no, they don’t actually hover, etc.)

Granted, “Ghostbusters II” didn’t depict the world of 2016. It only suggested – in the service of a punch line – it would end then. The character of Elaine was played by Chloe Webb, who doesn’t know why screenwriters Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd picked Feb. 14, 2016. Her theory is they used Valentine’s Day as a romantic bookend to the movie’s climax, wherein the Statue of Liberty vanquishes New York’s slimy vibe to the strains of Jackie Wilson’s “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher.”

Webb – best known for playing doomed punk-rock girlfriend Nancy Spungen in “Sid and Nancy” – recently re-watched “Ghostbusters II” as a favor to the team of filmmakers behind “Ghostheads,” an unfinished documentary about the franchise’s superfans.

How does it hold up? It’s still “pretty funky-fresh, actually,” said Webb, on the phone from California while shooting an indie in the hills between Ventura and Santa Barbara.

“I was thinking ‘Ghostbusters II’ is as fresh as Allen Ginsberg’s ‘Howl.’

We did a reading of it in L.A. in a big

theater full of hipsters, with David Lynch’s meditation group, with a rock band behind us, and it got a standing ovation. It’s just so true.

‘The crazy shepherds of rebellion’!

‘Ghostbusters II’ is like a comedy version of the same thing: a little band of people saying ‘I know you think I’m crazy, but this is not right, this is not good.’ ” There you have it: the Ghostbusters-Beat poetry comparison you didn’t know you needed. Anyway: The makers of “Ghostheads” asked Webb to make a short video in character, as

Elaine is still in Paramus but has since revised her expectation of the apocalypse: “As long as there’s more love than slime, the world goes on.”

Beautiful. As for the Paramus Holiday Inn, there is one, still. It’s a Holiday Inn Express, actually, across from the Paramus IKEA, about a dozen miles outside Manhattan. There is a bar, but it’s only open til 10:30 a.m., and it only serves breakfast. Happy Valentine’s Day!

McHenry County College twins create award-winning film

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Using a simple Canon camera and a tripod, Crystal Lake twins Adrian and Andrew Nuno created an award-winning film.

On a whim, the 19-year-old McHenry County College students sent their film, “Before I Go,” to the 2016 Lucent Film Fest & Awards, based in San Antonio, Texas.

The fest travels to a new city each year and accepts entries from independent filmmakers.

“We sent it not necessarily expecting much,” said Andrew, who along with his brother, Adrian, graduated from Prairie Ridge High School in 2014. “We had never sent a film to a festival before. This was definitely the one project we felt most confident about.”

They had a right to be confident.

The film won Best Feature in the festival, which includes wedding films, documentaries, brand story films and feature films. The Nunos won credit toward film equipment, royalty-free music and a filmmaking software bundle.

Unable to attend the festival’s award ceremony, the twins received their trophy in the mail. They’re now considering entering the 1-hour, 2-minute film – available on the twins’ YouTube channel, Vlogsters – in more festivals.

Having created short films with friends since 2012, the two came up with the idea for “Before I Go” in 2014. Based on bits of a actual events, it tells the story of a college-age man who learns he has cancer as a result of the Hepatitis B virus.

The filmmakers use a found footage format, a type of format typically used in horror and science fiction films, such as “The Blair Witch Project.”

“We thought it would be interesting to take that format and apply it to real human drama,” Andrew said.

The two always have worked together since a young age, when they’d come home from movies and act them out.

Now bothenrolled in Advanced Film at McHenry County College, they would watch YouTube videos and the work of other filmmakers to learn the craft.

They’re fans of Christopher Nolan, who’s directed “Inception,” “Interstellar” and “The Dark Knight” trilogy.

“What I enjoy most about them is their desire to learn as much as they can,” MCC film instructor Jim Stockwell said.

While Andrew typically comes up with the ideas, Adrian carries them out.

“We kind of do everything together,” Adrian said. “We’re a film-making duo.”

The basic idea behind the film was to follow the main character, Wyatt, as he learns his cancer diagnosis.

“Once he gets this diagnosis, he decides to blow off his life and take the audience along for a journey,” Andrew said.

The diagnosis affects his relationships with everyone in his life. “A moment happens that he has a chance to get his entire life back or lose his life,” Andrew said. “This film deals with the big theme of, ‘Even if you find out you’re dying, you still have a chance to live, just a different kind of living.’ ” Writing, editing, directing and producing the film together, the two recruited friends to act in the film, preferring to stay behind the scenes. They filmed last summer in Crystal Lake.

While Andrew is more interested in the preproduction aspect of filming, Adrian enjoys working on the post-production.

“While we are trying to learn each other’s crafts, our projects can operate pretty much like a relay race,” Andrew said. “I start off with the baton, and then I pass it onto Adrian and he finishes the race.”

Both intend to graduate McHenry County College in May and transfer to DePaul University in Chicago to study cinema production and advertising.

“The ultimate goal is for us to be filmmakers,” Andrew said. “We would love to make that a career and make films that don’t just entertain people, but ultimately tackle social situations.”

‘DEADPOOL’ SUFFERS FROM JUVENILE HUMOR

MORE ONLINE

The new movie “Zoolander 2” also is scheduled for release Friday. Find more reviews online at NWHerald.com.

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

“Deadpool” hates its audience, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Nothing is sacred to either this film or this character (played with “I’m so naughty” abandon by Ryan Reynolds), which pokes fun at superhero movie culture, Hollywood itself, Reynolds, director Tim Miller, love and human decency – and that’s just in the opening credits.

On the page, it sounds like a lot of fun, and it starts out strong with a cheeky self-awareness. But that wears thin very quickly for the raunchy, irreverent and very R-rated bad boy property of the Marvel comic book world, which also seems to have matured to only a fifth-grade level in its humor, wit and ideas about subversion. The pervasive, toxic juvenileness suffocates even the more clever aspects of the film. It makes the entire experience a trying one, especially for the uninitiated who might blindly be expecting another “Avengers” or “X-Men.” If superhero movies are going to continue to dominate the pop-cultural landscape for the foreseeable future (and they are), “Deadpool” is at least refreshing in its willingness to try something new. It is neither “Avengers” nor “XMen,” nor anything we’ve really seen before. No heroes are born. No worlds are ending. No cities are destroyed. The body count still is preposterously high, but it’s not because some big baddy is blowing up a skyscraper. It’s just because wise guy mercenary Wade Wilson (Reynolds) agreed to lend his body to some off-thebooks scientific experiments in the hopes it might cure his cancer. It does, and it

“DEADPOOL” STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin,

T.J. Miller PLOT: A former Special Forces operative turned mercenary is subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopting the alter ego Deadpool.

RATED: R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes gives him super healing powers, too, but his good looks are the casualty.

“Deadpool” is essentially a revenge story from a dude who is too vain to return to his beautiful stripper girlfriend Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) looking like a burn victim. So he hunts down the guy who transformed him in the first place, Ajax (Ed Skrein), to fix his skin.

To be fair, Wade was pretty twisted before his transformation into “Deadpool,” who isn’t so much an alter ego as he is Wade with an even bigger chip on his shoulder. He starts out obnoxious and stays obnoxious – the mask just allows him to abandon the pretense of any social graces (including paying cab drivers, apparently). For better or worse, Reynolds wears the character well.

It’s also odd T.J. Miller, as Deadpool’s friend Weasel, whose comedy is in the universe of the “Deadpool” tone, doesn’t even manage to elevate the humor past the “nana nana boo boo” variety.

The women aren’t much to celebrate, either, although it was amusing to have an actual adult relationship in a super-

hero film, as opposed to the chaste, teenage coyness of so many others. But did Vanessa have to be a stripper?

Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead (an angsty good gal mutant) is promising, too, but isn’t given much to do aside from being a punchline for Deadpool.

The violence also is carried out with such smirking glee it becomes a bit uncomfortable to watch – but maybe it’s just more honest than most superhero pics about what its audience wants and isn’t concerned with the pretense of heroism to justify gratuitous stabbings, slashings and shooting.

That said, there is a numbing aspect to “Deadpool” too. About midway through, at the point of aggravation when many may have walked out in disgust, I submitted.

“Deadpool” is supposed to shock you with its vulgarity, with its impertinence, with its willingness to roast anyone and anything, from Reynolds’ famously loathed “Green Lantern” to Hugh Jackman. But for a movie where everything was clearly on the table, and nothing was too precious to spare, it’s difficult to understand how at so many points, for instance, they decided to go with yet another masturbation joke.

Comedy and sustained energy were the most important things to get right in a movie like this, and “Deadpool” whiffed on both.

In the end, it’s hard to shake the feeling they’ve made a movie for boys that only adults are allowed to see. For the future sleepover party where some openminded parent allows a screening, it’ll surely be a blast.

‘How to Be Single’ is raunchy, rote and not terribly romantic

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post

Dakota Johnson makes for an oddly recessive heroine in “How to Be Single,” an earnest but awkwardly misshapen attempt to reconcile the archaic conventions of romantic comedy with the 21st-century values of independence and sexual self-determination.

Cut from the same cloth as “Sex and the City” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary” – both explicitly quoted – with a dash of “Girls” thrown in for whiny, self-defeating good measure, what should be a fizzy comedy of contradictory manners instead comes across as dutiful and unforgivably dull. Rarely has a portrait of someone getting her life together been so lifeless.

Johnson plays Alice, who upon graduating from college decides to take a break from her long-term boyfriend, move to New York and explore life unattached. Sleeping on the couch of her obstetrician sister Meg (Leslie Mann), Alice gets a job at a law firm and immediately makes a

“HOW TO BE SINGLE” STARRING: Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson,

Leslie Mann PLOT: New York City is full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, and what Alice, Robin, Lucy, Meg, Tom and David all have in common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love.

RATED: R for sexual content and strong language throughout

new friend in Robin (Rebel Wilson), a promiscuous party animal who tutors the wide-eyed Alice in the seductions, one-night stands and hangovers that lie beyond the looking glass of Tindrera Manhattan.

Johnson doesn’t possess the guileless comic timing of her mother, Melanie Griffith, although she brings sleepy-eyed believability to Alice, who moves through the movie’s rote set pieces with the dazed docility of a heifer being led to slaughter. But if Johnson lacks fizz, there’s something

quietly heroic in her refusal to give in to rom-com expectations. She’s adamantly unfazed by her surroundings, no matter how hysterically pitched.

Alice meets men in a series of stagey meet-cutes, but the subject of “How To Be Single” is really women, who range from neurotically selfdeceiving (the adamantly non-babycrazy Meg) to desperately needy (a compulsive Internet dater named Lucy, played with irksome overstatement by Alison Brie).

Directed by Christian Ditter with a close-up-heavy visual design ready-made for airplane viewing, “How To Be Single” claims the mantle of feminism – at least in its hastily cobbled-together final act – but it’s a burlesque on female selfhood and solidarity. On close inspection, the film reserves most of its sympathy for its male characters, whose foibles are mild, if they’re present at all. Damon Wayans Jr., Anders Holm, Nicholas Braun and Jason Mantzoukas are on hand for those honors, with Jake Lacy playing what has become his stock

character since his breakout role in 2014’s “Obvious Child”: the Stoic, Patient Dream Guy. In fact, everyone plays a stock character in “How To Be Single”: Mann is edgy, high-strung and too self-aware for her own good; Wilson is the sexually aggressive, slightly sloppy good-time girl (she’s responsible for the movie’s most raunchy humor, except for a graphic sight gag involving Holm during its opening moments).

As for Johnson’s vague, slightly spaced-out character, she’s not nearly as dynamic or legible as the ambivalent masochist of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” She comes into focus slowly, and only with the help of some “Look, just hear me out” speeches rather than compelling, clearly motivated action.

Ultimately, “How To Be Single” feels reverse-engineered to justify its ending, which while admittedly gratifying, can’t be described accurately as happy. For that, it would have to be worth the contrivances, cliches and tedium that have gone before.

Just Duckie, 30 years later

Film buff, fans anticipate return of ‘Pretty in Pink’ to area theater

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com When “Pretty in Pink” makes its Feb. 14 return to the theater 30 years after its premiere, Patty Zieman of Woodstock will be there.

Like many fans, she remembers well first seeing the John Hughesdirected classic at 19 years old.

“Just a make-you-smile, feel-good movie,” said Zieman, who later watched the PG-13-rated romantic comedy with her two daughters.

“Always good to see it again.”

Originally released on Feb. 28, 1986 – amid a 1980s era of legendary teen angst films – the film will celebrate its 30th birthday at theaters throughout the country. Locally, it can be seen at 2 and 7 p.m. Feb. 14 and 17 at Regal Cinemas Showplace Theater in Crystal Lake.

Old and new fans can watch as Molly Ringwald as Andie, the outsider teen, falls for rich kid, Blane, played by Andrew McCarthy, while Andie’s best friend, Duckie, played

by Jon Cryer, stands behind her, longing for more than a friendship.

The anniversary showing will feature behind-the-scenes footage, including the cast talking about shooting an alternate ending – shown similar to watching the extras on a DVD, but in the theater instead. (Yes, there was an alternate ending. We’ll get to that later, but Duckie fans would have been happy.)

It’s one of those films known not only for its ’80s, big-shoulderpad fashions and music – earning a place among the ranks of Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Soundtracks of All Time” – but also its true-to-life portrayal of high school’s often allconsuming drama.

For those who saw it then and even perhaps those who see it now, it’s relatable. It can’t help but bring you back to high school.

“I missed my proms because I had a too cool boyfriend to go,” Zieman said. “Regret that to this day.”

McHenry County College instructor Jim Stockwell, who teaches film classes and often talks about Hughes

Starring Molly Ringwald (from left), Andrew McCarthy and Jon Cryer, 1986’s “Pretty in Pink” returns to theaters Feb. 14 and 17 as part of a 30th-anniversary celebration of the classic John Hughes-directed film.

– also known for a string of similar films, such as “The Breakfast Club,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Some Kind of Wonderful” and “Sixteen Candles” – actually met the late director long ago when he worked with a member of Hughes’ family.

Hughes, who grew up in Michigan and later moved to Northbrook, where he attended high school, owned land along Hebron Road in unincorporated McHenry County in the 1990s before his death in 2009. He built a house, guest house and stable on the land, largely hidden from view. It is believed the property was one of several getaways for the director.

“He was just a nice guy,” Stockwell said. “He was a Midwesterner to the core. He didn’t like all that Hollywood glitz and glamor and people meddling with his stories.”

But people did meddle.

In Hughes’ original “Pretty in Pink,” Andie ended up with Duckie.

“He got some studio backlash on it. He was really mad about it. They wanted her to end up with Blane,” Stockwell said.

So Andie and Blane, it became.

“It’s never what John Hughes wanted,” Stockwell said. “I always thought that was an interesting twist to that story.”

It is believed Hughes’ “Some Kind of Wonderful,” which came out a year later starring Eric Stoltz, Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson, was Hughes’ way of finally getting it right. In that film, Stoltz,

who plays the poor outsider, falls for the rich, popular Thompson, while his best friend, Masterson, hides her true feelings for him. In the end, he chooses his best friend.

Stockwell remembers seeing “Pretty in Pink” in the theater as a high schooler, but likely appreciates the film more now. Back then, it was overshadowed by another 1980s classic – “Top Gun.” (“That was obviously much more popular, and it was widely considered by film historians as the greatest military recruiting video ever,” Stockwell said.)

“It was a great era for films,” Stockwell said. “John Hughes was one of my favorites. … He knew the teenage mind I think better than anybody I’ve ever seen as a director.”

Hughes created both memorable and relatable characters, he said.

Teen-themed films today don’t quite compare, though today’s teens are still running into some of the same challenges, especially the struggle to fit in.

Films such as “Pretty in Pink” – “in a class by itself” – were more about the typical things teens get themselves into, he said.

“Those films were much more innocent [than today’s films],” he said.

“Yeah, you had a level of maybe adult curiosity, but today, you see films, and the teenagers aren’t written the same way – ‘The Social Network,’ ‘Juno.’ It’s not maybe the same light-hearted approach we had back then.”

‘Pretty in Pink’ by the quotes Andie: I just want them to know that they didn’t break me.

Duckie: Well, that’s very nice. I’m glad. Well here’s... here’s the point, Andie.

I’m not particularly concerned with whether or not you like me, because I live to like you and... and I can’t like you anymore. So... so when you’re feeling real low and... and dirty, don’t look to me to pump you back up ’cause... ’cause... ’cause maybe for the first time in your life I WON’T BE THERE! Principal: If you give off signals that you don’t want to belong, people will make sure that you don’t.

Duckie: We don’t have none of this stuff in the boy’s room! Wait a minute! We don’t got none of this... we don’t got doors on the stalls in the boy’s room, we don’t have, what is this? What’s this? We don’t have a candy machine in the boy’s room!

Duckie: This is a really volcanic ensemble you’re wearing, it’s really marvelous!

Blane: You said you couldn’t be with someone who didn’t believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn’t believe in me. I love you. Always.

Duckie: I’m off like a dirty shirt.

Jean Nidetch, a cofounder of Weight Watchers who died last year, said, “It’s choice -- not chance -- that determines your destiny.”

That is certainly true in this deal.

South is faced with a choice of side suits to play on, and often it would not matter, but in this layout only the correct line will work.

South is in six spades. West leads the club king. South takes the trick and cashes his two top spades to learn that West will get a trump trick.

How should declarer continue?

North’s three-heart rebid was a transfer, and four clubs was a superaccept promising four-card spade support, a doubleton somewhere and the club ace. When North happily showed his diamond ace, South took a shot at slam.

Declarer is faced with two losers: one spade and one club. Somehow he has to discard one of dummy’s clubs before West can ruff in and cash the club queen. If West ruffs as dummy’s third club evaporates, that does not matter. But should South start on hearts or diamonds?

It looks obvious to play on hearts because declarer has only five cards in that suit -- but it is wrong. West must hold three diamonds for South to have any chance; and just in case he has four, declarer should cash three tricks in that suit first. If they split 3-3, South shifts immediately to hearts. Here, though, declarer takes the fourth diamond and pitches one of dummy’s clubs. Then he plays off his hearts to jettison dummy’s last club. West’s ruff is too late for the defense.
