Calculating the value of pie “OK, class,” my arithmetic teacher declared, “we’re now going to study about ‘pi.’ ” “Pie!” I thought. “Maybe this number stuff isn’t going to be so bad!”

I was getting more and more excited, spurred on by the fact that she then drew a circle on the blackboard.

“She’s drawing a pie!” I thought. “I wonder what flavor we will learn about today?”

But, alas, I soon discovered that there’s the “pie” that’s the tangy fruity kind with the meltin-your-mouth crust, and then there’s the “pi” that’s the mathematical constant kind that melts your brain. The former would turn out to only be a dream and the latter would become a nightmare.

But even though there would be no pie served in arithmetic class, that did not diminish my desire for it. I went home after school and convinced my mom that for my homework we needed to get baking.

“Honest, mom,” I reasoned, “we studied about pie today in class. I really want to do well in school this year, so can you help me with this assignment? I think I finally see why education is so important. I really want to make you proud of me when I grow up.”

And so we made pie that breezy fall afternoon.

Then the family all enjoyed a piece for dessert after supper. I told my mom that I needed to bring the leftovers to school to turn in as homework.

Needless to say, those pieces didn’t even survive the walk to school the next day.

I know what you’re thinking. Yes, I did lie.

But it wasn’t me, it was the Crisco lard talking.

Somehow I had become hooked on pie, willing to forsake the truth for blueberry, and strawberry, and lemon meringue, in that order.

My access to pie was greatly enhanced when Hostess came out with its fruit pies. Imagine, for 15 cents you could have a piece of paradise: apple, cherry, lemon, blueberry, strawberry and peach. When they came out with the chocolate

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava fruit pie, I excitedly concluded that chocolate was now declared a fruit. I had the world on a string, with a fruit pie attached to the end of it.

Growing up, I devised the top three criteria for my future wife: 1) can bake pie, 2) doesn’t eat a lot of pie, and 3) can bake more pie.

I remember the first pie my new wife baked. It was blueberry. I can still smell its savory flavor wafting into my pulsating nostrils as I followed its trail into the kitchen where the pie sat in its tin throne awaiting me.

When it came time to cut the pie, my new bride did something that made me fall in love with her all over again. She cut a piece and put it on a plate. Then she proceeded to start to eat it.

“Where’s mine?” I protested. She simply pointed her fork at the pie tin and smiled. I completely understood. I picked up the tin with the remainder of the pie and started to eat. It was all mine. I had picked the perfect wife!

Well, the years have gone by, but, sadly, my pie rations have greatly diminished. I don’t blame my wife. It’s my doctor. Cholesterol smolesterol! But every once in a while there’s a familiar smell coming from the kitchen, and it has nothing to do with the circumference of a circle.

There, sitting on the counter, is my blueberry pie, along with a sticky note from my wife: “If you take more than one piece, I will be here in 3.14 seconds. Love you.” Geesh.

• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. He is currently in training to see how many pieces of pie he can eat in less than 3.14 seconds. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

4 FACE OFF IN GOP PRIMARY Candidates vie to succeed retiring Rep. Tryon in 66th House District

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Four local Republican elected officials are running for the 66th Illinois House District to succeed retiring Rep. Mike Tryon.

For Carolyn Schofield, Paul Serwatka, Allen Skillicorn and Dan Wilbrandt, the foremost issue is rescuing Illinois from what Gov. Bruce Rauner has called a “death spiral” of rising taxes and taxpayers and employers giving up and moving elsewhere.

All four candidates back the reforms of Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda.” Rauner’s platform, which includes reform to workers’ compensation and tort laws, and curtailing collective bargaining, has contributed to the ongoing eightmonth budget impasse between Rauner and Democratic lawmakers who control the General Assembly.

Skillicorn, an East Dundee trustee and vice chairman of the Kane County Republican Party, is particularly focused on reining in the state’s workers’ compensation laws, which he calls a job killer.

The marketing director joked that the only people getting ahead in Illinois these days are workers’ compensation attorneys and those in the moving business.

“We need to create an environ-

Schofield, Skillicorn and Wilbrandt met Tuesday with the Northwest Herald Editorial Board to discuss their platforms. Serwatka declined to attend, although he submitted a questionnaire like his fellow candidates.

The 66th District includes parts of southeastern McHenry and northern Kane counties, including parts of Crystal Lake, Lakewood, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Algonquin and Carpentersville.

Schofield and Wilbrandt pointed to their ability to compromise to get things done as assets rather than liabilities, given that the Democratic Party holds House and Senate supermajorities.

Wilbrandt, a West Dundee trustee and McHenry County assistant state’s attorney, said both sides have to reach a quick and constitutionally acceptable consensus on how to fix the state pension crisis.

Illinois has at least $111 billion in unfunded pension liability, not counting health and insurance benefits.

Without adopting radical fixes to how Illinois does business, Wilbrandt said, the five state-run pension systems will run dry.

“If we don’t make these reforms and these fixes, the other side has to realize that there won’t be any pensions, there won’t be any money,” Wilbrandt said.

Schofield, of Crystal Lake, served on the City Council before her 2012 election to the McHenry County Board and represents the county on the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.

She said that fundamental reforms to improve the state’s business climate will improve the tax base, which will help lower Illinois’ crushing property tax burden and stem the tide of migration to other states.

Illinois leads the nation in population loss to other states, according to U.S. Census figures. Outmigration last year reached six figures for the first time.

“I’m very concerned about that at a personal level as well as the entire state. I want to bring people back here,” Schofield said.

Although he holds elected office, Serwatka is campaigning as a citizen legislator and calls the other

three establishment candidates who will not get anything fixed.

Serwatka ran a successful write-in campaign last year for Lakewood village trustee, riding discontent over the village’s pursuit of a tax increment financing district and other decisions.

He is former firefighter paramedic turned small business owner and real estate broker.

“I believe we are in dire need of God-fearing, principled leadership in Illinois, and I will strive, every day, to be an example of that,” Serwatka said in his questionnaire.

“I will be ever mindful that I am there to serve the people, to enrich the taxpayer and to empower families, and I will be ever vigilant in my fight against the professional, career politicians who are there to serve, to enrich and to empower themselves.”

All four candidates support term limits for both rank-and-file lawmakers and legislative leaders, and the ongoing effort for a constitutional amendment to reform how legislative districts are drawn.

The winner of the March 15 primary will run against Democratic opponent Nancy Zettler of Algonquin.

Tryon, a Republican from Crystal Lake who was first elected in 2004, is not seeking a seventh twoyear term.

Police investigate the scene of a fatal accident Friday morning at the intersection of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive in Huntley. The Huntley Fire Protection District was dispatched to the scene of the rollover crash about 4:50 a.m. A Honda CRV appeared to have hit a traffic light and rolled across multiple lanes before coming to a stop, according to police.

Police probe fatal rollover crash Investigators say Gilberts-area man drove 2 cars into traffic lights at high speeds

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Police are investigating whether a 56-year-old Gilberts-area man who died Friday in a crash on Route 47 in Huntley intentionally drove two cars into traffic lights at very high rates of speed.

Huntley Deputy Police Chief Mike Klunk said police at 4:37 a.m. responded to the intersection of Freeman Road and Factory Shops Boulevard for a 2003 Saturn that had driven into a traffic control signal, went airborne and continued off the road across a frozen pond.

Some 12 minutes later, police responded about a half-mile west for a 2002 Honda CRV that had struck a traffic control signal and rolled several times over four or five lanes of traffic before coming to rest in the southbound lanes of Route 47 at Jim Dhamer Drive.

David C. Flight was found dead inside the CRV, police said.

“Neither crash appears the vehicle lost control,” Klunk said. “There’s

“Neither crash appears the vehicle lost control. There’s no swerving prior to the impact points. Both vehicles were direct impacts.”

Mike Klunk

Huntley deputy police chief no swerving prior to the impact points.

Both vehicles were direct impacts.”

A trail of debris stretched from the damaged light pole to the vehicle resting on the passenger’s side. The front end of the vehicle suffered heavy damage, and one of the tires was lying in the street.

Police said both vehicles were registered to a residence about two miles away in unincorporated Gilberts. Police located the owners, who said they believed a family member took the keys.

Police said they found both sets of keys with Flight, who lived at the residence where the vehicles were registered.

Klunk said investigators did not know if drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash. He could not say how fast they believe Flight was going, but based on the paths both vehicles took after crashing into the light poles, police believe the speeds were significant.

“Generally speaking when you hit an object like that, it slows you down,” Klunk said. “So to continue that distance there had to be pretty heavy speed.”

Police said Flight was the only person in the vehicle and there were no other injuries.

Klunk said it’s unclear when the first crash happened. Police arriving at first used a K-9 in hopes of finding a driver that had fled before learning both crashes were connected.

“We’re not sure how he returned or whether those were moved prior to that,” Klunk said.

The crash closed Route 47 for more than four hours.

The Kane County coroner and Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team continue to investigate.

Pioneer Center’s ‘crisis’ deepens Needs $400K infusion to stay open; loss of services expected

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – If the Pioneer Center for Human Services doesn’t raise $400,000 immediately, the agency might have to close its doors in the next few weeks.

The announcement came from Pioneer on Friday stating that the organization is evaluating “aggressive” program cuts and transfers of services to other agencies in an attempt to stay in business.

“At the end of the day, we’re just trying to make sure that the continuity of the services are maintained so that the clients can continue to get the services,” said Mike Moushey, Pioneer Board chairman.

The center operates 18 behavioral health programs, 14 developmental disability programs and 17 group homes and saw 4,800 clients last year.

The center has about 300 employees, Moushey said, and has cut 15 percent of its workforce since July.

What programs might be cut are not yet known, Moushey said, but Pioneer likely would stick to its original focus on intellectual developmental disabilities.

“We’re just at a point now where if we get support to transfer some of the behavioral health programs, we can continue to support the [intellectual developmental disability] programs and take care of those clients, because they don’t have any other options,” Moushey said.

The causes leading up to the center’s “crisis” were like the “perfect storm,” Moushey said, with the state’s budget impasse being the main driver.

According to Pioneer’s annual report, nearly 61 percent of its funding comes from the state. Moushey has said the state owes Pioneer more than

To donate Donations can be made at www.savepioneer.org or mailed to Pioneer Center for Human Services, 4100 Veterans Parkway, McHenry, IL 60050.

Moushey also has said Pioneer experienced some internal billing problems and has seen turnover of upper-level management, including former CEO Jackie Wells and former CFO Jeff Kurth.

Moushey attributed the third cause to the McHenry County Mental Health Board’s decision a few weeks ago to deny a funding request from the agency and a decision to move adult psychiatric services and traumatic brain injuries programs to other providers.

The move meant Pioneer cut programs serving more than 1,200 clients.

Officials said as of Monday, the Madison Group home will close and merge with the Wheeler Group Home. Two weeks later, traumatic brain injury services will transition to the Epilepsy Foundation of North Central Illinois.

On March 18, Pioneer will shutter its adult psychiatric programs, which will transition to various other agencies.

In November, the agency closed an in-house workshop designed to give about 150 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities a place to work. At the same time, Pioneer officials said they doubled the number of community-based outing opportunities, and made changes to its vocational program to include classroom and community time.

Over the years, Pioneer has merged with or picked up services from other agencies including the Public Action to Deliver Shelter in 2006, and Family Services when it closed in 2012.

Moushey said there is a “significant” concern for Pioneer’s clients, who need the support of the community.

“It’s like any kind of service you would need,” Moushey said. “If you don’t get the help ... obviously, they’re not going to be in a good position.”

The release from Pioneer said the agency is working with the McHenry County Mental Health Board, the Illinois Department of Human Services and additional social service providers to care for the clients.

Mental Health Board Executive Director Scott Block said right now, the board doesn’t have absolute clarity from Pioneer on what services are being Scott Block discussed for transfer to other agencies.

“We are willing to offer insight and advice,” Block said. “And also we are very open to working on new contractors and providers to fill in some of these new voids.”

Filling those voids will take time, though, Block said, and he doesn’t believe that a few weeks’ notice would be enough time for any provider to assess their situation and decide if they could provide services, or give the state time to respond.

Donations can be made at www. savepioneer.org or sent to Pioneer Center for Human Services, 4100 Veterans Parkway, McHenry, IL 60050. Contact Marilou Niggemann, interim director of development, with questions at 815759-7128 or mniggemann@pioneercenter.org.

Police said they learned Manthei had sold an unknown amount of black tar heroin to Brown in the hours before he ingested it. With the assistance of the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force, the DEA and McHenry County Sheriff’s police, ManMyranda Falls thei was arrested about 2 a.m. Friday in Rockford.

Myranda Falls, 24, of the 2000 block of Crestwood Avenue, Rockford, was arrested at the same time and charged with intimidation, a Class 2 felony, and harassment of a witness, a Class 3 felony, because of “threats that were conveyed about the sale of the narcotics to the deceased because they realized the man had died and it was a result of their actions,” Kotlowski said.

Kotlowski said the arrests came within a week of the overdose deaths as

a result of thorough police work. The investigation included several interviews and searching cars, cellphones and residences, he said.

“We realized this was a serious situation,” Kotlowski said. “We have someone out there who is selling drugs and people are dying. We don’t want anymore deaths.”

Kotlowski said it does not appear the heroin was from the same batch, or that either death was the result of tainted heroin.

Ramos-Ortiz is charged with drug-induced homicide, a Class X felony, delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony.

Manthei is charged with drug-induced homicide and delivery of a controlled substance.

If convicted of the most serious charge, each faces between six and 30 years in prison.

All three remain in McHenry County Jail. Ramos-Ortiz and Manthei are being held on $250,000 bond, while Falls is being held on $100,000 bond.

They are due in rights court at 8 a.m.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Two men face drug-induced homicide charges after police said two Crystal Lake men died from unrelated heroin overdoses less than three days apart.

Elias A. Ramos-Ortiz, 20, of the 600 block of Grand Canyon Circle, Crystal Lake, was arrested Wednesday at the Crystal Lake Police Department after police questioned him Elias A. about the overdose Ramos-Ortiz death of Jack T. Crawford, Deputy Police Chief Tom Kotlowski said.

Crawford, 20, died Feb. 4 at a family home in the 1300 block of Knollwood Circle, police said. Police were dispatched to the home about 5:30 a.m. for a report of a possible heroin overdose and found Crawford not breathing, Kotlowski said.

Officers administered nasal Narcan, a drug used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, performed CPR

and used an automated defibrillator without success, he said. Crews from the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department also attempted life-saving measures.

Through their investigation, Kotlowski said police learned that Ramos-Ortiz had gone into Chicago to buy powdered heroin and sold $160 worth of it to Crawford in the latenight hours of Feb. 3 or early Feb. 4.

In an unrelated Joshua M. overdose death, police said they arrested Manthei 25-year-old Joshua M. Manthei, of the 300 block of West Blair Street, West Chicago.

Kotlowski said police were dispatched just before 12:30 a.m. Sunday to a home in the 700 block of Wedgewood Drive after Steven D. Brown’s parents found him unresponsive. The parents had administered Narcan and started CPR, but Kotlowski said they had no effect on Brown, 22. He was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, where he died in the days after the overdose,

arie and Dave Morrison are no strangers to golden retrievers, having had five of them over the years. They had talked about getting another dog after their current one passes, but thought they would not want another one.

That all changed the night Marie met Sadie.

Marie and Dave were enjoying a Christmas Eve dinner with their neighbors, Stacy and Rob Shelley, when Sadie, the Shelleys’ female golden retriever puppy, just weeks old, captured Marie’s heart. Sadie was a Christmas present from the Shelleys’ daughter, Megan Shelley of McHenry. The tiny, rambunctious, fluffy puppy was too adorable for Marie to not want one of her own. Marie knew she was going to be a

puppy owner again.

Knowing her husband’s birthday was approaching, she contacted the breeder in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that Megan used. There was only one puppy left in the same litter Sadie came from, and Marie was quick to secure it. Then, unbeknownst to her husband, she borrowed his cell phone and snuck into his Facebook page to update his status informing their friends a new puppy was going to enter the family. Dave still was unaware his social media status had been changed when their grandson, Ben Mapes of Crystal Lake, 12, grabbed the phone and told him to look at it.

“The only thing better than one golden retriever is two golden retrievers,” Dave said with a laugh.

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Village Board banned trucks from driving through downtown Huntley in a 4-3 vote Thursday night.

The new restrictions, which were debated a week earlier by the Committee of the Whole, will force trucks weighing more than 12,000 pounds to reroute unless they are delivering to a downtown business.

Main, Church, Woodstock, Coral and Myrtle streets are among those included in the ban.

Trustees Ronda Goldman, Harry Leopold, John Piwko and Mayor Charles Sass voted for the ban, with Timothy Hoeft, Niko Kanakaris and JR Westberg voting against it.

Sass said he had spoken to nine downtown business owners and all nine supported the ban. The restrictions are aimed at making the area more pedestrian friendly after the village poured $4.6 million into

streetscape improvements in the area.

“The biggest thing was the amount of money we had spent,” Sass said.

“They didn’t think it was that big of an obstacle to go out onto Algonquin Road.”

Sass also asked staff to remove a previously suggested detour that would require a sharp turn from Huntley Dundee Road onto Kreutzer Road.

Hoeft said he wanted to amend the restrictions to allow trucks to go through on Main Street. Kanakaris said he would not vote for the ban unless the village determined an acceptable alternative route for trucks going south.

Westberg agreed with Kanakaris and said he felt there was a better way of going about the ban.

“Restricting them altogether is going to be tough for some of them,” Westberg said.

“We’re a blue-collar town, and these guys need to get through town.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – Drew Lewis, a businessman who served as U.S. transportation secretary under President Ronald Reagan during the 1981 air traffic controllers’ strike, has died at age 84.

Lewis, who lived on a farm in Lower Salford, in the Philadelphia suburbs, died Wednesday in Prescott, Arizona, of complications from pneumonia, said his son, Andy Lewis.

As transportation secretary, Lewis was the Republican administration’s chief representative in a bitter labor dispute with the Professional Air Traf-

fic Controllers Organization. Reagan fired 11,400 members of the union for mounting an illegal strike.

Lewis later became CEO of Omaha, Nebraska-based transportation company Union Pacific Corp., guiding its merger with the Southern Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads.

“Even though he had a much longer and successful business career,” his son said Friday, “his love and passion was always public service and politics.”

Lewis, sworn in as the nation’s seventh secretary of transportation in January 1981, worked to divest the government of the Conrail freight line in

fic controllers, over pay, staffing levels and other issues, turned into a historic standoff in the first year of the Reagan administration. Lewis took charge of talks with the union and negotiated a three-year contract, which was soundly rejected by members.

About 12,000 controllers walked off the job on Aug. 3, 1981, in a strike that violated federal law and court injunctions. Reagan fired those who did not return to work, and the union lost its federal certification as the bargaining agent for controllers.

In the aftermath, the Reagan administration was bitterly criticized by organized labor advocates.

But his tenure also saw the first federal gasoline tax increase in more than 20 years, the nickel hike providing funds for infrastructure improvements, including mass transit projects.

In backing the increase, Reagan described it as a “user fee” rather than a tax since it was part of the cost of gasoline.

Adam has been in the HVAC industry for over 35 years.

He has been involved in all aspects of the business from service to sales. His main interest is in customer comfort.

Official Heating and Cooling specializes in solving comfort problems; drafts, excessive dust or humidity, cold and/or hot rooms, airflow issues, duct sealing, zoning, etc.

As a family-owned and operated company, the owners are involved in all aspects of the business to guarantee complete customer satisfaction.

Adam Kern, Owner Official Heating & Cooling

Why aren’t all the rooms in my house the same temperature?

There are very few homes that have uniform comfort. The style of the home plays a crucial role in overall comfort.

Long or U-shaped ranches, tri-levels or 2 story homes all have issues with uneven heating or cooling. The reason for this could be oversized equipment or poorly designed ductwork. Unfortunately, most people believe they have to live with this problem because there is nothing that can be done to fix it.

The good news is that we specialize in solving comfort problems. There are many options available. The solution may be to modify some of the ductwork which would deliver more air to the problem areas, adding more cold air returns to facilitate better air flow, install a zoning system with separate thermostats, or Aeroseal which seals 95% of duct leakage.

A free in home evaluation will determine which option will resolve your home’s particular problem.

If you have any HVAC related questions, please contact me today!

Ill. to close youth correctional facility

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration announced Friday it will close the youth correctional facility in Kewanee, news that delighted a civil rights group but distressed employees who worried about alternative housing for maximum-security offenders.

Illinois Juvenile Justice Director Candice Jones said the move would save money, offer young offenders rehabilitation in less-restrictive settings and improve community safety.

“Youth do best when we work with them in the most appropriate, least-restrictive setting,” Jones said in a statement. “That means partnering with proven, effective nonprofits to provide resources and work with youth in the communities. It also means that secure custody in state facilities should be reserved for only the highest-risk youth.”

Department spokesman Michael Theodore said Kewanee, which opened

News from across the state Roads could benefit from potential $84.7M windfall

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Illinois transportation planners are awaiting details of how they could use a potential multimillion dollar windfall for the state.

A spending bill approved by Congress in late 2015 contains a clause allowing unused transportation earmarks to be dispensed to states for related work. The earmarks must be more than 10 years old and less than 10 percent of the total must have been spent or obligated.

The total amount of cash available could be nearly $2.2 billion, according to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ analysis of U.S. Department of Transportation data. Illinois could receive $84.7 million, which could boost the state’s minimalist road work plans amid the ongoing financial crisis, the Daily Herald reported.

“We are actively working on this issue

in 2001, would be shuttered July 1. The plan must be reviewed by the legislative Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, which will likely conduct public hearings, but a decision by the commission is nonbinding.

Officials expect operating costs to be $19.7 million this year, Theodore said. If it closes on schedule, a net savings of $14.2 million would be used to improve community-based programming and to upgrade existing facilities to make room for transfers.

The announcement pleased the American Civil Liberties Union, which said it’s in keeping with a reassessment of youth detention required by a 2012 lawsuit it won.

“We hope that this is just the first announcement regarding the closing of a youth detention facility, and that we can move to a day when Illinois detains fewer juveniles in far-flung parts of the state,” ACLU staff counsel Lindsay Miller said in a statement.

But the union that represents 189 of 203 Kewanee staff members said Jones

Renovation to governor’s mansion gets donations

SPRINGFIELD – The organization leading efforts to renovate the Illinois governor’s mansion said it received $1 million in donations last year.

The mansion has fallen into disrepair in recent years with a flooded basement, leaky roof and peeling paint. The Illinois Executive Mansion Association said Friday it also received $280,000 in free services last year and completed the first phase of work on the mansion roof.

The association estimates renovating the 160-year-old home will cost between $8 million and $12 million and take two years. It’s the third-oldest state governor’s residence in the U.S. The second phase of work includes exterior and interior renovations, private residence modernization and updates to landscaping, grounds and security.

The association in July chose Springfield contractor Henson Robinson Company to do roofing work.

and other administrators “blind-sided” staff with the announcement during the facility’s 6 a.m. roll call.

Anders Lindall, spokesman for the state council of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, voiced concern about what would happen to the maximum-security offenders who were transferred to Kewanee – requiring renovation – when a youth detention center in Joliet was closed in 2013. He noted Kewanee also has a treatment program for sex offenders.

“It’s particularly hypocritical for the department to claim in its statement today that it wants facilities dedicated for special purposes such as maximum-security inmates only when it had such a facility, Joliet, closed it and sent that population to Kewanee over the objection of employees, advocates and our union,” Lindall said.

Sen. Donne Trotter, a Chicago Democrat and co-chairman of the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, said the proposal is an “opportunity” to “stop the warehous-

Priest charged with sexually abusing 2 children

AURORA – Prosecutors outside Chicago have charged a Catholic priest with sexually abusing two children younger than age 13.

The Kane County State’s Attorney’s office announced charges Friday against the Rev. Alfredo Pedraza Arias, who served at Sacred Heart Church in Aurora.

The 49-year-old was taken into custody Thursday in Rockford. He faces two counts of felony aggravated criminal sexual abuse and his bail was set at $50,000.

Prosecutors said the abuse happened between 2009 and 2014 at the home of one of the victims and the church.

Man found guilty of taking girl to Ill. for prostitution

CHICAGO – Federal officials said a Milwaukee man has been convicted of transporting an underage girl from Madison, Wisconsin, to the Chicago area to engage in prostitution.

A news release from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Northern District of Illinois said a jury convicted 32-year-old DaJuan Key on Thursday on one count of knowingly transporting a minor from Wisconsin to Illinois to engage in prostitution.

The release said Key brought the

ing of folks” and get them needed mental health treatment and programs to redirect their lives while they’re serving their time.

Theodore said the department is “assessing where youth from Kewanee will be relocated based on their risks and treatment needs.”

The closure would leave youth centers in Chicago, Harrisburg, Grafton, St. Charles and Warrenville. Jones said the state houses 436 young offenders and after Kewanee is closed, the system would have 683 beds.

“That is enough capacity to comply with best practices, and account for seasonal fluctuations in the number of youth confined,” Jones said.

Theodore said remaining facilities are “capable of housing maximum-security youth without modifications.”

The Warrenville facility has been reserved for girls since 1999. But there are only 12 in the entire system, Theodore said, so officials will revert to a co-ed setup, and will begin transferring minimum-security males to Warrenville in the coming weeks.

15-year-old girl to the Chicago area in September 2013, forced her to engage in commercial sex acts and kept the money.

According to the release, evidence at trial showed Key encountered the girl online. The release said she was rescued

by Romeoville police on Sept. 10, 2013, and Key was arrested.

Ray LaHood, NPR host among award winners

SPRINGFIELD – A former U.S. transportation secretary, the founder of a breast cancer charity and an NPR host are recipients of this year’s Order of Lincoln Awards.

Gov. Bruce Rauner on Friday announced the six people receiving the state’s highest honor this year for professional achievement and public service. This year’s winners include Susan G. Komen for the Cure founder Nancy Goodman Brinker, former U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and CME Group chairman emeritus Leo Melamed.

Other recipients include NPR “Weekend Edition Saturday” host Scott Simon, Illinois Poet Laureate Kevin Stein and retired Caterpillar president Robert Gilmore.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Two 15-year-old girls died Friday in a shooting at a suburban Phoenix high school that initially caused panic among parents who could not reach their children but later emerged as a murder-suicide.

Police announced that a suicide note was found at the shooting scene near the cafeteria area of Independence High School in Glendale. They said the girls each were shot once, were declared dead at the scene and a weapon was found near the bodies.

“Information gathered by detectives reveal the two girls were very close friends, appeared to also be in a relationship,” Glendale police spokeswoman Tracey Breeden said in a statement Friday afternoon.

Breeden said it is believed nobody witnessed the shooting.

‘Finally’: Francis meets Russian Orthodox leader

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press

HAVANA – With a hug and an exclamation of “Finally,” Pope Francis met Friday with Patriarch Kirill in the first-ever meeting between a pontiff and the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, a historic development in the 1,000year schism that has divided Christianity.

“We are brothers,” Francis said as he embraced Kirill in the small, wood-paneled VIP room of Havana’s airport, where the threehour encounter took place.

“Now things are easier,” Kirill agreed as he and the pope exchanged three kisses on the cheek. “This is the will of God,” the pope said.

Francis was having the brief talks in Cuba before heading off on a five-day visit to Mexico, where the pontiff will bring a message of solidarity with the victims of drug violence, human trafficking and discrimination to some of that country’s most violent and poverty-stricken regions.

The meeting and signing of a joint declaration was decades in the making and cemented Francis’ reputation as a risk-taking statesman who values dialogue, bridge-building and rapprochement at almost any cost.

In the 30-point statement, the two leaders declared themselves ready to take all necessary measures to overcome their historical differences, saying “we are not competitors, but brothers.”

Francis and Kirill also called for political leaders to act on the single most important issue of shared concern between the Catholic and Orthodox churches today: the plight of

Christians in Iraq and Syria who are being killed and driven from their homes by the Islamic State group.

“In many countries of the Middle East and North Africa, entire families of our brothers and sisters in Christ are being exterminated, entire villages and cities,” the declaration said.

While the meeting has been hailed by many as an important ecumenical breakthrough, Francis has also come under criticism for essentially allowing himself to be used by a Russia eager to assert itself among Orthodox Christians and on the world stage at a time when the country is increasingly isolated from the West.

The declaration was signed in the uniquely ideal location of Cuba: far removed from the Catholic-Orthodox turf battles in Europe, a country that is Catholic and familiar to Latin America’s first pope, but equally familiar to the Russian church given its anti-American and Soviet legacy. The pope helped mediate the declaration of detente between the U.S. and Cuba in 2014.

“If this continues, Cuba will become the capital of unity,” the pope said.

Calling the talks “very substantive,” Kirill said: “The results make it possible to say that today the two churches can actively work together to protect Christians around the world.”

The Vatican is hoping the meeting will improve relations with other Orthodox churches and spur progress in dialogue over theological differences that have divided East from West ever since the Great Schism of 1054 split Christianity.

Infamous gangland killing documents found Autopsy reports provide new insight into 1929 Valentine’s Day massacre

James Sledge, an executive officer at the Cook County medical examiner’s office in Chicago, holds Thursday one of the original autopsy reports from the infamous Valentine’s Day massacre 87 years ago.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Written by hand, the autopsies on the seven bullet-riddled bodies vividly describe why the Valentine’s Day massacre of 1929 still is considered Chicago’s most infamous gangland killing.

The reports were recently unearthed with inquest transcripts from a warehouse after eight decades, and the Cook County medical examiner’s office is now considering how best to preserve and display them.

Executive officer James Sledge, a local history fan and a Chicago native, said he felt a chill down his back when he first read the documents outlining the attack at a Lincoln Park garage that left seven men dead and more than 160 machine gun casings littering the scene.

The attack, carried out by men dressed as city police officers, is widely believed to have been ordered by famed Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone.

The crime was never solved.

Shortly after Sledge joined the medical examiner’s office in 2014, he asked for permission to look at the autopsy records. His staff took multiple trips to a Cook County government warehouse to find the reports, which were tucked away in a metal file cabinet.

Sledge is weighing where the documents should be stored and how accessible they should be, he told the Chicago Sun-Times in a story published Thurs-

James Foster for the Chicago Sun-Times

day.

“On the one hand, we want to have them readily available,” Sledge said.

“But we don’t want them so accessible that we in some way anger some part of the population who feel we are not paying proper respect to the deceased.”

The victims of the Feb. 14, 1929 massacre were five men who were known gangsters working for Capone rival George “Bugs” Moran, an optometrist who was friends with Moran’s crew and a mechanic at the garage that served as Moran’s headquarters. They were gunned down by four men, two of whom were wearing police uniforms. Since

there was no evidence of a struggle, it’s believed that Moran’s men thought it was a police raid.

The documents that are now in Sledge’s possession offer insight into the 87-year-old investigation of the unsolved crime.

“The reports are very graphic about what happened,” Sledge said. “You read about history, you talk about it, but to have something in your hands – it gives you an odd feeling.”

Those documents include an inquest interview with the optometrist’s mother in which the coroner prepares her for the grisly state of her son’s body. Other

documents also outline the difficulties investigators faced while attempting to solve the crime, including witnesses who were too afraid to testify, the limits of forensic science and photographers who were eager to document the event.

Sledge wasn’t immediately available for comment Friday.

Becky Schlikerman, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office, said the office still is considering what to do with the documents.

The documents have to remain the property of the medical examiner’s office because they are autopsy reports, she said.

“The reports are very graphic about what happened. You read about history, you talk about it, but to have something in your hands – it gives you an odd feeling.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS – Right fight; wrong strategy.

That’s what many ranchers and sympathizers opposing federal control of public lands in the West concluded after the armed occupation of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon.

For some, the weeks-long standoff that ended Thursday with the surrender of the final occupiers has only strengthened their resolve to fight the government’s control of vast expanses of Western land. But not all condone the tactics of the armed group that drew the nation’s gaze to the snowy landscapes of eastern Oregon.

“We’re not backing off,” said Greg Whalen, a military veteran from Las Vegas who supports the Bundy ranching family that led the occupation.

“We’re actually going to fight harder – peacefully.”

Whalen and others say protests must remain a key part of the strategy – but they must be civil to avoid giving a reason for arrests.

Others suggest the battle should shift to the courts to pry authority over open space from the federal government. State lawmakers, notably in Utah, are considering a legal way to take control of U.S. lands that account for a majority of the West, including most of Nevada; about two-thirds of Utah, Idaho and Alaska; and half of Oregon.

Federal officials say U.S. control ensures the land is used in the interest of

the environment, outdoor enthusiasts and industries, such as ranching, mining, and oil and gas.

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert denounced the tactics in the standoff but called it “a wake-up call for all of us that there (are) legitimate issues out there that are causing frustration.”

Supporters say sympathy from prominent Western politicians shows that their mantra – that locals can do a better job managing federal lands than out-of-touch bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. – has been embraced by more than gun-toting protesters.

“We’re not just cowboys with hats who are hicks and don’t know what’s going on,” said LisaMarie Johnson, who stood with Cliven Bundy at his Nevada ranch in a 2014 armed standoff with federal agents. Bundy is the father of the Oregon occupation’s leaders.

“People in New York City don’t understand what’s going on out here,” the Nevada resident said.

The dispute predates statehood in some places. But calls for action have gotten louder as federal agencies designate protected areas for endangered species and set aside tracts for mining, wind farms and natural gas exploration. The latest wave has roots in the Sagebrush Rebellion, which began more than 40 years ago over grazing rights in Nevada.

Occupiers that seized the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon on Jan. 2 demanded the U.S. turn over the land to locals and release two ranchers imprisoned for setting fires.

A man waves the American flag from atop a car Thursday at the Narrows roadblock near Burns, Ore. The last four occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon surrendered Thursday. The holdouts were the remnants of a larger group that seized the wildlife refuge nearly six weeks ago, demanding that the government turn over the land to locals and release two ranchers imprisoned for setting fires.

WASHINGTON – Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation Friday that hits North Korea with more stringent sanctions for refusing to stop its nuclear weapons program.

House Republicans and Democrats joined together to overwhelmingly approve the bill by a vote of 4082 less than a week after North Korea launched a rocket carrying a satellite into space. Pyongyang conducted its fourth underground nuclear test last month. Both actions sparked worldwide condemnation and heightened fears the reclusive Asian nation is moving steadily toward assembling an atomic arsenal.

The Senate unanimously passed the legislation earlier this week, 96-0.

The Obama administration said it wouldn’t oppose the bill, but officials declined to say whether or when Obama would sign it. The expanded sanctions from Congress come at the same time the U.S. and China are in delicate negotiations over a U.N. Security Council resolution on new

sanctions, with China raising concerns about measures that could devastate North Korea’s economy.

“We’re philosophically and intellectually in the same place as Congress on this, so that will not be a bill that we’ll oppose,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said on Friday.

The expanded sanctions are intended to deny North Korea the money it needs for the development of miniaturized nuclear warheads and the long-range missiles required to deliver them.

The legislation also authorizes $50 million over the next five years to transmit radio broadcasts into North Korea, purchase communications equipment and support humanitarian assistance programs.

Rep. Ed Royce of California, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Friday that it’s time for the U.S. to stand with South Korea and Japan.

Both countries already are responding to North Korea’s aggression, said Royce, who called on Russia and China to “follow suit.”

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Heroin abuse continues terror The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs down: To the increasing problem of heroin abuse in McHenry County. Two Crystal Lake men died of heroin overdoses three days apart this month. Crystal Lake police have brought charges in both deaths. Heroin and opiate abuse has been on the rise in the suburbs. McHenry County data dating back to 2008 shows 79 percent of overdoses were related to opiates and 44 percent related to heroin. The data shows heroin use is not limited to the fringe of society, as it once was perceived.

The average age of the McHenry County residents who have died from a heroin overdose is 33, but there have been teens as young as 17 who have lost their lives. The oldest was 69, according to coroner’s data.

Thumbs up: To students from Marian Central, Prairie Ridge and Barrington high schools who earned first-place finishes in the 2016 McHenry County College Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering competition. Kudos to the college and all area students who participated. It’s great preparation for college and good-paying career fields.

Thumbs up: To the fourth- and fifth-grade student council members at Coventry Elementary.

The students pick a service project to benefit their community every month. For February, they delivered Valentine’s Day cards to seniors at Bickford Senior Living Center in Crystal Lake.

Thumbs down: To McHenry County-area service clubs losing members. Lions Clubs from all over McHenry County have struggled to grow membership in recent years, and if the trend continues, the county could end up losing valuable volunteer work.

Thumbs up: To On Angel Wings Pet Rescue for the work it does with local pets who are in need of assistance, notably the recent case of 5-year-old shih tzu-mix Meeko, who hadn’t had its fur cut in three years before a recent emergency makeover.

Now, after a cut from a groomer at Paws on Pingree, the dog is ready for adoption.

THEY SAID IT “I served alongside Barack Obama in the state Senate and have attempted to work with him during my time in Congress. One thing in particular I’ve noticed about the president is his utter incapacity to be reflective about the weaknesses of his worldview.”

– Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Washington can bring end to voter anger Democratic and Republican party elites have found common ground: panic over what happened Tuesday in New Hampshire.

For an antidote to their anxiety, they might consider changing the way they do business in Washington.

Voters in both major parties are demanding something, anything different from the dreary gridlock and acrimony they’ve known for much of the past decade. Yet Washington appears impervious to the tremors rattling the presidential campaign.

President Barack Obama presented his $4.1 trillion budget to Congress on Tuesday, where it was met with the usual verdict: dead on arrival.

The budget, which fleshes out Democratic priorities, is largely a symbolic exercise, since the

White House and Congress struck a two-year spending deal last fall. Republicans are struggling to produce their own budget, and they seem unlikely to realize the dream of returning to an orderly appropriations process. True, there will be no government shutdown, which is something to be grateful for. But it’s hard to find much solace in Washington’s stasis.

As usual, Washington’s perpetual antagonists appear to have agreed not to cooperate.

Curiously enough, comity was a main theme of the speech Obama delivered to the Illinois state Legislature on Wednesday.

“There are a lot of good proposals out there, and we have to work to find ones that can gain some bipartisan support,” he said.

In fact, Obama and congres-

sional leaders have shown the capacity to find common ground when it suits them – as they did last fall when the spending deal came together. Obama and House Speaker Paul Ryan, taken at their word, actually have more than a few issues on which they appear to have areas of agreement: criminal justice reform, drug addiction treatment, poverty, trade, vocational training, visas for highly skilled workers, even tax reform.

If mainstream politicians of both parties are truly alarmed by the rise of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, and the vague and troubling-isms that each represents, they can address the root cause and actually do something to blunt the insurgents’ advance: Make Washington work better.

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

Walkup would represent voters

To the Editor: McHenry Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller is a classic case of a politician who represents special interest groups.

Joe’s law practice represents developers and Realtors. The result is support of projects that benefit his clients at the expense of taxpayers. Joe worked to install a power plant in Oakwood Hills despite the opposition of voters. He represented the Fraternite of Notre Dame commercial development. He worked to bias the Unified Development Ordinance in favor of development that often could raise taxes.

Michael Walkup represents no special interest group and would objectively evaluate the impact of projects on property taxes. He fought to stop a $100 million traffic interchange that would have raised taxes and harmed local business.

He was instrumental in reforming the

Schofield’s strong commitment

To the Editor: I’m writing in support of Carolyn Schofield’s candidacy for state representative.

I first met Carolyn when she was on the Crystal Lake City Council working to get a rain barrel ordinance in place for the city. She was wonderful to work with and was committed to getting things done.

Carolyn still has a strong commitment to the environment and to water issues in her role on the McHenry County Board.

As Mike Tryon, the only state representative with a degree in environmental sciences, prepares to retire, I can think of no better person to fill his shoes than Carolyn Schofield.

We need an environmental voice in Springfield to help protect our precious resources for our future generations.

Because Carolyn Schofield has an engineering degree with an environmental specialty, she would be a perfect replacement for him.

Please vote for Carolyn Schofield.

Regna is the choice

To the Editor: In studying the Republican candidates for McHenry County state’s attorney, I see two distinct choices.

Dan Regna is a 23-year resident of McHenry County, while Patrick Kenneally moved here last summer from Lake County.

Dan Regna has 21 years of legal experience, while Patrick Kenneally has only eight years.

Dan Regna served nearly 10 years as a prosecutor, while his opponent has served only seven years as a prosecutor.

Dan Regna has more than 11 years in private practice with broad experiences in administrative, business, criminal defense, family and real estate law, while Patrick Kenneally has no private practice experience.

Dan Regna has 18 years of honorable military service, while Patrick Kenneally has no military service. Dan Regna has volunteered extensively in our local community, while Patrick Kenneally has not.

Tirio’s specific plan

Woodstock

To the Editor: I have known Joe Gottemoller for as long as I have served as mayor of Crystal Lake, and I have personally observed him to be a leader who always puts the people in our community ahead of any special interest groups.

As the chairman of the County Board, he has worked tirelessly to support the people who live here, irrespective of where in McHenry County they happen to live. In addition, Joe’s professional demeanor and respectful attitude is refreshing in this era when many choose negativity and insulting commentary in their interactions.

Joe is a consummate professional who represents McHenry County very well at the state and federal levels and has proved he can bring about positive change at the county level while maintaining the highest level of integrity.

We could not ask for a better County Board chairman than Joe Gottemoller.

Who is behind the ads?

To the Editor: Regarding the Feb. 5 Another View, “FCC is not doing enough for democracy,” it seems to me this would be the perfect thing for a newspaper to cover, not the Seattle Times opinion, but the Northwest Herald telling its readers who is behind the groups funding local ads.

I think it would be nice to have it printed daily in the paper, kind of like a running tally of who is behind them. Isn’t that what the news is supposed to be doing, keeping us informed? While the FCC may have a role, reporters should be digging up these facts for their readers, not just cutting and pasting from the Seattle Times, Bloomberg, the Washington Post and all the other publications that

To the Editor: The perfect is the enemy of the good?

No. The generalization is the enemy of the good.

This election season, we hear many generalizations and diversionary aphorisms. There is one political candidate with a specific plan to save money for McHenry County: county recorder candidate Joe Tirio. His stated intention is to merge the office out of existence and save millions of dollars by so doing.

The perfect should be the mentor of the good. And the perfect is very specific.

Bleachers responsibility

To the Editor: Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley plans to recoup fines in the bleacher case by spreading the cost of the lawsuit among the residents of School District 155.

The residents of District 155 had nothing to do with the approval of the bleacher plan. The members of the school board are the responsible parties.

The members of the school board – present and past – who voted in favor of building the bleachers without regard to city code, affected property owners and residents of the district should be responsible for the fines. They also should be responsible for reimbursing the owners of the properties that backed up to the bleachers for the costs they incurred in the lawsuit. None of the costs should be borne by residents of the district.

The school board’s action in this case is just another example of governing bodies taking action without regard to how it affects the people of District 155 they represent.

To the Editor: We would like to express our thanks to Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley, City Council members, planning and zoning commissioners and staff for their support and doing what was right for the city and the residents of Crystal Lake regarding the Crystal Lake South bleachers.

We thank the police department for its help when it was needed.

We send a huge thank you to our amazing neighbors and our family who went through all of this with us and were a great source of strength, comfort and support.

Many thanks to Tom Burney and his team for everything they did for us. We were so lucky to have you by our side.

We were asked by a reporter recently if, thinking back on it all, was it really worth it? Although the past three years have been a nightmare for us, we believe it was. We stood up for our rights, and that is always a good thing. Plus, we taught our children how to stay strong even under terrible scrutiny and bullying.

They are proud of us, and we are so very proud of them.

We have in the past few years met some unbelievably kind people and, unfortunately, some who weren’t, but the good definitely outweighed the bad.

Lastly, we thank District 155 for doing the right thing. It took a while, but you finally came to your senses. Possibly an apology from D-155 will follow, but we won’t hold our breath.

What a recession does to your money

By STAN CHOE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – If we are indeed in the midst of a recession – and we won’t know we’re in one until well after it’s begun – stocks likely still have a long way to go down.

Worries are high that the sharp slowdown in China’s growth, falling U.S. corporate profits and other downward pressures will pull the economy back into a recession.

If a garden-variety one is on the way, the stock market’s drop isn’t even halfway done.

Stocks have lost an average of 33 percent from top to bottom around past recessions, going back to 1929, according to a review by strategists at Credit Suisse.

Investors are scared enough that they’re already pulling pages from the recession playbook. They’re moving into types of stocks and other investments that typically have held up best during past downturns and avoiding those that tend to get hit the worst.

The temptation to sell everything and get out of stocks can be costly, though. Following every past recession, stocks eventually have gone on to recover their losses – and then climb higher.

Every downturn is different, but a look at the numbers gives investors a sense of at least what’s possible.

How bad are recessions for stocks usually?

steadier for companies that sell everyday items to consumers, so do their stock prices. That’s why investors lump them with health care and telecom stocks into a category known as “defensive” stocks. They still fall during recessions, but not as much as the rest of the market.

Procter & Gamble and other makers of consumer staples fell 31 percent around the Great Recession, roughly half the broad market’s loss.

Bad, but not as bad as the last one. A drop of more than 20 percent should be expected, and most recessions have seen the S&P 500 fall at least that much. Including the 19.9 percent drop around the 1990-91 recession, it’s happened in 10 of the last 14.

The last recession was far more painful for investors, with its 57 percent plunge. But that occurred when investors were questioning whether the What about other “safer” financial system would even investments?

may not offer as much protection as in past downturns.

As for bonds, their low yields mean they’re not producing as much income. That in turn means they can’t possibly provide as strong a cushion as in past recessions.

Why not sell stocks and just get out of the way?

It’s scary to watch the stock market plummet, but longterm investors always have eventually been made whole.

Someone with terrible timing who bought an S&P 500 index fund on Oct. 9, 2007, when stocks peaked before the financial crisis, got back to even by August 2012, aided by dividends.

Plus, much of stocks’ long-term returns can come from just a handful of really big days, and it’s impossible to predict when they’ll occur. Miss them, and owning stocks gets much less lucrative. Two thirds of the S&P 500’s gain over the last decade has come from just five days.

“This is the whole point of why equities generate the best returns of any major asset class over long periods of time,” said David Lefkowitz, senior equity strategist at UBS Wealth Management Americas. “They have higher volatility. If you can live with the higher volatility, you should be in a position to earn higher returns. I fully expect that stocks ultimately will reach new highs.”

Shoppers are shown in Miami. On Friday, the Commerce Department released retail sales data for January. harsh snowstorms on the East Coast.

The retail sales report provides the first indication each month of Americans’ spending, which drives 70 percent of the economy. Yet, retail sales account for only about one-third of all spending, with services such as haircuts and Internet access making up the other two-thirds.

Gas prices averaged $1.70 a gallon nationwide Thursday, according to AAA. That’s down 27 cents in just the past month.

Cheap gas is dragging down the overall retail sales figures, which include gas but don’t account for price changes. Excluding the effect of cheap gas, retail sales rose 4.5 percent in January from 12 months earlier. That was the best yearover-pace since September.

sumers this year will be how much they spend of the money left over from cheap gas, and how much they sock away in savings. Last year, they saved more than many economists expected, restraining growth.

On Wednesday, the National Retail Federation forecast above-average sales this year, citing better hiring and wage increases, as well as lower gas prices. It forecasts retail sales will increase 3.1 percent in 2016, higher than its 10-year average of 2.7 percent.

Still, that is a slowdown from its estimate last summer that retail sales would grow 3.5 percent in 2015. Its figures exclude autos, gas stations and restaurants.

The government’s figures show that a category mostly made up of online and catalog sales rose 1.6 percent in January, the most in nearly a year.

WASHINGTON – U.S. retail sales rose modestly in January, evidence Americans kept shopping despite sharp drops in stock prices.

The Commerce Department said Friday that retail sales increased a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent last month, the same as in December. Excluding the effect of falling gas prices, sales rose 0.4 percent.

Sales in December were revised higher from an initial estimate of a 0.1 percent drop.

Steady hiring and early signs that employers finally are handing out higher wages means Americans have more money to spend. A key question for the economy this year is whether consumer spending can keep growing and offset the effects of stock market volatility and slowing growth overseas.

“The markets may have decided that the U.S. is headed for recession, but obviously no one told U.S. consumers,” Paul Ashworth said in a research note. Low prices caused a sharp fall in gas station sales, but “otherwise, sales were strong across the board,” he added.

Americans stepped up their purchases in January of autos, home supplies and groceries, and spent more online.

They spent less at restaurants and bars, likely because of

They were up 8.7 percent from a year earlier.

At the same time, department store sales plummeted 0.8 percent and have fallen 3.8 percent in the past year.

The widening gap between online and traditional retailers will be on display next week with major stores such as Wal-Mart, Target and J.C. Penney putting up their numbers from the fourth quarter, which includes the crucial holiday shopping period.

This year, as has been the case for years now, shoppers increasingly migrated online leading up to the holiday.

With traffic at malls and department stores sluggish, Amazon.com two weeks ago, reported that its fourth-quarter revenue spiked 22 percent to almost $36 billion. Its profit doubled.

Traditional retailers right now are in retrenchment mode.

Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, is closing 269 stores, including 154 in the U.S. That’s a fraction of its 5,000 stores, but still a rare event. Macy’s Inc. is cutting 4,800 jobs and profit expectations as well.

The ailing Sears Holdings Corp., which owns Kmart, said this week that it would accelerate store closures.

“The actions are smart, but they may not be enough,” said Walter Loeb, an independent retail consultant in New York.

“It may be necessary to do more. We are overstored.”

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Kanye West’s new album, “The Life Of Pablo,” has ignited a new controversy between the rapper and pop superstar Taylor Swift.

West debuted his album at the Yeezy Season 3 fashion show Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The album included a song called, “Famous,” in which he called the “Bad Blood” singer a “bitch” and said he made her famous.

On his Twitter account, he said the lyric was not an insult. “I did not diss Taylor Swift and I’ve never dissed her,” he wrote.

Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley welcomes baby boy

President Barack Obama talks with Ellen DeGeneres during a commercial break Thursday while taping a show segment of the Ellen DeGeneres Show in Burbank, Calif.

Obama recites love poem to wife, Michelle, on national TV BURBANK, Calif. – Someone call the fire department. It’s about to get hot at the White House.

President Barack Obama, who is spending another Valentine’s Day apart from his wife, Michelle, did the next best thing short of celebrating the lovers’ holiday with her: On Friday’s broadcast of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the president recited a love poem he said he had planned to deliver to the first lady in person.

“Somebody call the Situation Room because things are about to get hot,” Obama said as he stood in front of a red curtain and amid bouquets of red roses and white lilies as Barry White-style music played in the background. “Michelle, this Valentine’s Day I’m going to treat you right. I’m going to make you some zucchini bread. Then I’ll spread out some veggies on a plate just the way you like them,” he said. “Then I’ll give you a massage while you watch ‘Ellen’s Design Challenge’ on HGTV. Because I love you so much, I Obamacare about you more than you even know.”

Turning serious, Obama said: “Michelle, I’ve made a lot of great decisions as president. The best decision I ever made was choosing you. Thanks for putting up with me. I love you.” Obama taped the appearance Thursday.

Mrs. Obama surprised her husband earlier in the broadcast by popping up on tape to recite her own poem. Sunday is their final Valentine’s Day as president and first lady.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, you are the president and I am your boo,” she said, joking about writing the ode while doing 100 pushups to help get her “creative juices” flowing.

Obama also revealed that he has considered going out in disguise and talked about how hard it will be to send daughter Malia off to college in the fall.

“She’s one of my best friends. It’s going to be hard for me not to have her around all the time, but she’s ready to go,” Obama said of his 17-year-old daughter, a senior at the exclusive Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Singer Charles Kelley of the country group Lady Antebellum and his wife, Cassie, announced the birth of their first child, Ward Charles Kelley.

The birth announcement was posted Thursday on Womanista.com, a website Cassie Kelley founded. The baby boy was born Thursday at 9:20 a.m. Central, weighing 7 pounds, 9 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long.

The Kelleys said in a statement that he had “his momma’s nose and daddy’s eyes and vocal chords and a head full of blond hair.”

Kelley just released his debut solo album “The Driver,” while the band is on a break and is nominated for a Grammy next week for best country duo/group performance for the album’s title song.

Cosby’s lawyers try again to get sex assault case tossed

PHILADELPHIA – Lawyers for Bill Cosby are trying again to have the comedian’s sex assault case in Pennsylvania dismissed.

They say Cosby had an agreement with a former prosecutor that he would never be charged over the 2004 encounter with a Temple University employee.

A judge this month rejected claims that Cosby had a binding promise from the previous district attorney and scheduled a March 8 preliminary hearing.

Cosby’s lawyers filed an appeal Friday to

the state Superior Court.

They also appealed the judge’s decision to not disqualify Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele. They say Cosby became a “political football” in Steele’s fall campaign for office.

The Pennsylvania case is the only one to lead to criminal charges amid dozens of accusations that Cosby drugged and molested women. Cosby denies them.

Ohio company sells classic Etch A Sketch to Toronto firm BRYAN, Ohio – The Ohio company that has produced or owned the Etch A Sketch for more than five decades has sold the classic toy to a Toronto-based toy firm.

Bryan-based Ohio Art Co. made the surprise move to sell the Etch A Sketch and its spinoff, the Doodle Sketch, to Spin Master Corp. for an undisclosed price.

Ohio Art announced the sale Thursday.

“I think it’s such an icon, it’s a part of our everyday life here,” Martin Killgallon, Ohio Art’s president, told The Blade in Toledo. “It’ll be bittersweet, but we had to look at the long-term future of the business.”

The company said the move leaves it with more capital to focus on metal lithography, the craft on which it was founded over a century ago.

“Ohio Art is squarely focused on continuing to build its reputation as one of the premier metal lithographers in North America,” CEO Elena West said.

BERLIN – Actor George Clooney and his lawyer wife, Amal, had a private meeting Friday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss the crisis in Syria and Europe’s efforts to help refugees.

The Clooneys were accompanied by David Miliband, the former British foreign secretary who now heads the aid group International Rescue Committee.

“We (...) talked about the responsibilities of all states, not just European states but states around the world to deal with what is a global problem, not just a Syrian problem or a German issue,” Miliband told The Associated Press after the 40-minute meeting at Merkel’s office.

Miliband said it was the actor’s idea to ask for a meeting with Merkel, who has received both applause and criticism for letting hundreds of thousands of refugees come to Germany over the past year.

Clooney, who is known for his human rights work and has supported the IRC on other projects, is currently attending the Berlin Film Festival to showcase his new movie “Hail, Caesar!”

“It wouldn’t be right to come to Berlin and have a film festival and pretend there wasn’t a big global issue for which Germany was in the eye of the storm,” Miliband said.

Merkel told reporters later Friday that she had had “a very good conversation” with the Clooneys and Miliband, exchanging ideas for how aid groups and governments can cooperate to encourage citizens to volunteer to help refugees.

The Clooneys planned to meet with refugees in Berlin later Friday.

Shrub survival

Plants able to fend off cold, to a point

S

By LEE REICH • The Associated Press

ince they can’t don gloves and a scarf or shiver to keep warm, it’s a wonder trees, vines and shrubs don’t freeze to death in winter.

Sometimes, of course, they do. But usually that happens to garden and landscape plants pushed to their cold limits, not to naturally cold-hardy plants or plants in their native habitats.

Think about it: Water freezes at 32 degrees F. – not a particularly cold temperature for a winter night – and plants contain an abundance of water.

Water expands when it freezes, so you can imagine the havoc that would be wreaked if water-filled plant cells froze and burst.

But adapted trees, vines and shrubs survive temperatures well below freezing each winter, and those of boreal regions live where temperatures dip below even minus 150 degrees F.

Supercool plants

Water, whether in a plant cell or a glass, does not necessarily freeze as soon as the temperature drops to 32 degrees F. To freeze, water molecules need something to group around to form ice crystals, a so-called nucleating agent. Without it, water will “supercool” remaining liquid down to about minus 40 degrees F. All sorts of things can serve as nucleating agents – bacteria, for instance.

More ways plants deal with freezing temperatures

Plants have another trick for dealing with the cold: letting water freeze only outside their cells, where the ice doesn’t do damage.

Cell membranes are permeable to

water, so as temperatures drop ice crystals that form outside plant cells grow with the water they draw out of the cells. With increasing cold, a plant becomes threatened more by dehydration than by freezing.

Cell sap is not pure water; in it are dissolved various substances.

You may recall something called freezing-point depression from high school chemistry: Basically, whenever you dissolve something in water, you lower the resulting solution’s freezing point. So as water is drawn out of the liquid of plant cells, the liquid within the cells becomes more and more concentrated in whatever was dissolved in it. As a result, the temperature at which the cellular liquid freezes keeps dropping.

A gardener’s role

‘‘

The most we gardeners can do to help trees and shrubs face winter is to plant those that naturally tolerate the coldest temperatures winter is apt to serve up.”

Lee Reich, an avid gardener who blogs at www.leereich. com/blog

Here’s where we gardeners can step in: Light supplies the energy that plants need to prepare for cold, so we can make sure to site and prune plants so they get adequate light. Fruits are energy sinks, so we also can make sure not to let a plant bear too heavy a crop of fruit, especially if the plant is borderline cold-hardy.

We also can play around with microclimate, the climate right around a plant. Plants near south-facing walls, near paving, or sheltered from north winds keep a few degrees warmer than their more exposed counterparts.

Swaddling a plant for winter, as is often done with roses, does nothing for its appearance but does give it

a few extra degrees of warmth. A plant needs to experience some cold before it can prepare itself for cold, so never swaddle a plant too soon in autumn.

Unfortunately, all this fiddling to help a plant through winter pales in the face of genetics. The most we gardeners can do to help trees and shrubs face winter is to plant those that naturally tolerate the coldest temperatures winter is apt to serve up.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zone Map gives an idea of the average minimum temperature for your region.

Actual coldest temperature will, of course, vary from year to year and be influenced by microclimates at various places around your yard.

Herbs are among the most useful plants in nature. They deliver flowers, flavors, fragrances and cures. They’re also good for repelling deer, attracting pollinators, clearing the air, freshening your breath and concocting beauty treatments.

Most are easy to grow, indoors or out. Herbs don’t require much space, and many thrive in dry conditions.

“These are really multi-purpose plants,” said Sue Goetz of Tacoma, Washington, author of “The Herb Lover’s Spa Book” (St. Lynn’s Press. 2015).

“There is no other plant category with so much diversity.”

Herbs probably are best known for their culinary qualities, but using them for fragrance has captivated gardeners for thousands of years.

“Plant extracts were used in bathing, and for scenting and cleansing linens and clothes, the floors of homes, tiles, tents, horses and even the sails of ships,” Goetz said. “In Elizabethan times, aromatic herb waters and cut stems of plants were sprinkled on floors to mask unpleasant odors.”

There are more than 100 different

herbs from which to choose. It all depends on what you want from them.

Think beyond kitchen gardens, said Goetz, who recommends herbs for sanctuary settings.

“Surrounding yourself with herbs in the garden is like having your own fresh apothecary,” she said. “These aren’t just plants that do one thing, like taste good; they heal, have anti-bacterial qualities, soothe skin, calm down a bad mood.”

Goetz singles out mint as a plant familiar to most people, yet with healing qualities all but unknown.

“It is a wonderful aromatic that uplifts a tired mind, or when used in a foot spa, mint is a stimulant that revives tired feet by bringing blood to the surface or the skin,” she said.

Herbs also come in handy if you have animals around the house, said Pam Miller, a master gardener from Frederick County, Maryland.

“A wonderful way to deodorize carpets from pet smell is to mix two parts of baking soda to one part dried lavender flowers or leaves,” she said in a University of Maryland Cooperative Extension fact sheet.

“Sprinkle onto the carpet as you would use a carpet deodorizer,” Miller

kind to want to help. Your cousin probably is experiencing a range of emotions because of the turmoil that’s going on around her family.

The kindest thing to do would be to spend time with her when your schedule permits and allow her to vent when she needs to, because she will.

Dear Abby: I am a 10-yearold girl. I’m good at math and very intelligent. I have two questions: When I’m alone in a dark room, I feel like I have to run out of the room. Why? My second question is, what kind of job can you get without going to college? –

Smart Southern Girl Dear Smart Southern Girl:

Many people of every age – especially children and the elderly – have a fear of the dark. That’s why parents

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips use small night lights in their children’s bedrooms and gadgets such as The Clapper are popular.

Adults may be afraid of tripping or running into furniture. Teens who watch scary movies develop a fear of the dark because they imagine a “monster” is lurking out of sight who might harm them. The solution can be as simple as keeping a night light on or switching a light on as you enter a darkened area.

As to what kind of job a person can find without going to college, discuss this with a counselor at your school. College may not be for everyone, but I don’t think it’s likely you’ll get a well-paying job without some advanced education – if not in a college, then in an apprenticeship program or a trade school with a proven high job placement record.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I have been having a huge disagreement lately.

Since we can’t seem to settle it, I’m asking for your help.

I say that because tomatoes are technically fruits, ketchup is a smoothie. She disagrees because tomatoes are the only fruit in ketchup.

Please tell me – is ketchup a smoothie? And if so, why? –

Spender In Arizona Dear Spencer: Your ques-

tion is a first. In my opinion, ketchup is more a purée than a smoothie. “Smoothie” suggests a beverage that’s drinkable, and I don’t think ketchup qualifies.

Dear Abby: I am 18 and in my sophomore year of college. A month ago, my family went through some major hardships. It came out that “Uncle Mark” has been cheating on my aunt for years and is moving his mistress to our area. They have two children, a son in elementary school and a daughter, “Dana,” 13.

I feel bad for my aunt, but I’m absolutely devastated for Dana. My Uncle Mark has skipped all of her school events in the wake of this mess, and I can’t begin to imagine how disappointed Dana must feel. Uncle Mark is a sociopath. He feels no empathy, manipulates others and has a sadistic streak. Dana was not close to her dad, but since this mess began she’s even less so.

Abby, I don’t want my cousin to feel like she’s alone. Since I’m an older teenager, she looks up to me.

How can I be supportive, and not intrude in this delicate situation? – Supportive

HDL level a complicated story Dear Dr. K: I have high levels of HDL cholesterol – the “good” cholesterol. I was happy about that, but now I hear that medicines raising your HDL levels don’t seem to help.

Should I be disappointed?

Dear Reader: The HDL cholesterol story is complicated. It has been solidly established that people who have high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol have a higher risk of developing heart disease. Moreover, it has been solidly established that treatments that lower LDL cholesterol reduce the risk of developing heart disease.

It also solidly has been established people with HDL levels above 60 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) tend to have a lower risk for heart disease. Since HDL removes cholesterol from the plaques in arteries, that observation made sense. So doctors and scientists developed drugs that raise HDL levels, just as they had developed drugs that lower LDL levels.

Several drugs that raise HDL levels have been around for 30 years, particularly gemfibrozil and niacin. But they raise levels only modestly. These drugs were tested in people with heart disease. They did lower the risk of new heart problems. However, it wasn’t clear if they achieved that benefit by raising HDL or through some other effect.

In the past several years, several different types of drugs were developed that could dramatically raise HDL levels. Most doctors, myself included, bet such drugs would probably reduce the risk of heart disease. Why? Because all the evidence seemed to point in that direction.

Before such drugs were approved by the Food and Drug Administration, however, the agency required that studies involving large numbers of people be conducted to prove the value of the drugs. To make a long and

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Earnest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff painful story short, these drugs have not convincingly lowered the risk of heart trouble.

Worse, in some cases, they have increased the risk.

To make things more confusing, a Harvard study found people with an unusual genetic condition that raises HDL levels did not have fewer heart attacks. The most likely conclusion of this surprising result is it is not the high HDL levels, but rather something else about most people who have high HDL levels that protects them from heart disease.

Many lifestyle changes raise HDL cholesterol and indisputably reduce your risk of heart disease: regular exercise, healthy weight, avoiding trans fats, quitting smoking and moderate use of alcohol. These lifestyle changes may not work through their effects on your HDL level, but they surely and powerfully do work.

So you still should be happy about your high HDL level. In most people, it means they do have a lower risk of heart disease.

And I haven’t given up hope some new HDL-raising drug may produce heart benefits. Or even one of the new drugs already developed, but used in a different dose, may prove beneficial. Until that day comes, you can raise your HDL even higher with the lifestyle changes I mentioned – and definitely improve your overall health as well.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Saturday & Sunday 21 Burning Bush Ln. Crystal Lake 9am – 3pm Numbers at 8:30am Margaret Drabble, an English novelist, biographer and critic, asked, “Why can’t people be both flexible and efficient?”

At the bridge table, if your mind is flexible, you will usually play efficiently. In particular, there are many guidelines like “third hand high” and “cover an honor with an honor.” But you must be flexible in your thinking, not just follow those adages as if they are etched in stone, because they are not.

In today’s deal, for example, how should East defend against six hearts?

West leads the spade 10.

North’s three-diamond response promised at least eight points and five or more diamonds. Then, when North raised hearts, South used regular Blackwood before bidding the slam.

When this deal was originally played, South took the first trick in his hand, played a diamond to dummy’s ace and called for a sneaky heart five. East, thinking about second hand low and not wanting to make a revealing hesitation, smoothly followed suit with his four. South followed the percentages by playing low, and the five took the trick. Then another heart lead held East to one trump trick, and the contract made.

East should have realized that if South had started with ace-king-third of spades, he would have won the first trick on the board. So, the diamond ace was his only dummy entry (since East could overruff dummy on the third round of clubs). If East had just won the first heart, the contract would have failed.

What to watch NHL: Anaheim at Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m., WGN The Hawks’ homecoming hasn’t gone the way they would like, as they suffered consecutive losses to San Jose and Dallas last week, and the task doesn’t get easier Saturday when they face the surging Anaheim Ducks, who have recovered from a dreadful start to the season and now sit firmly in third place in the Pacific Division.

Local ties Harvard grad Lauren Fog, who ran collegiately at Bradley, will be running in Saturday’s U.S. Olympic Trials marathon.

She qualified with a 2:45:02 at the Grandma’s Marathon last summer in Duluth, Minnesota.

Really?

The Dallas Morning News’ Corbett Smith reported that 62 Dallas/Fort Worth-area high school football teams have indoor practice facilities while nine more are being built.

GRAYSLAKE – Prairie Ridge’s players looked at the situation during a timeout with 4:50 remaining, trailing five to Grayslake North, and knew something needed to be done quickly.

“We realized this is for the (Fox Valley Conference Fox Division) championship, we need to turn it up now.” forward Brian Dorn said. “We really focused and wanted it really bad and shot the ball well.”

Forty seconds later, forward Christopher Bradshaw swishing a 3-pointer to tie the score. Then Logan Card nailed a 3 from the left corner, then Dorn hit one from the left wing.

“We just found a rhythm,” guard Payton Otto said. “They got flustered and we drove and kicked it out and moved the ball well.”

From there, the Wolves took care of the ball and were perfect from the free-throw line to defeat the Knights, 59-52, and clinch the division title outright. Prairie Ridge edged the Knights for the championship last season.

Prairie Ridge (21-3 overall, 11-0 FVC Fox) hit 10 of 10 free throws in the fourth quarter, led by reserve forward Kyle Loeding, who hit 6 of 6 and finished with a team-high 18 points.

“I will take my chances with our kids shooting 3s,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “We started penetrating gaps a little bit, they were aware of where they were at and hit some. There’s not much time left, they just made some plays.”

North (20-3, 9-2) overcame a 29-20 halftime deficit with a near-perfect third quarter, hitting 7 of 7 from the field and 6 of 6 from the line. Guard Jamal Thomas ended that quarter with a 3 from near the center jump circle after a long possession.

“I wasn’t exactly sure what that was, but I was more than willing to take it,” Knights coach Todd Grunloh said.

It looked at that point like it might be North’s night, but Prairie Ridge’s veteran presence, with four starters having played significant roles on last year’s co-champion team, paid off.

“It felt really good to beat them at their home,” said Dorn, who scored

Otto and Bradshaw each finished with nine points for Prairie Ridge, which has not lost in the 2016 part of its schedule. “[Repeating] means a lot,” Otto said. “We shared it with them last year, we wanted it that much more.

We wanted it by ourselves. We just gave everything we had out there tonight and it was awesome.”

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CARY – The celebratory yells echoing from the visitors’ locker room at Cary-Grove didn’t die down for more than 15 minutes after the final horn sounded Friday night, erupting again every few seconds when it seemed as if the victorious Warriors might be done.

Out on the floor, McHenry beat CaryGrove, 61-46, in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game. That meant that, inside the locker room, the Warriors and coach Tim Paddock were dancing.

“They’re such a good group of kids, man. And they really like to celebrate.

We like to celebrate in the locker room when we’re done,” Paddock said.

“They’ve got a dance that we do and I end up there dancing, they get me doing stuff

that I don’t even know what it is. They keep you young, they do, and it’s fun.

“They’re all great kids. I’m just happy for them that we’ve been so close in some games early in the year and lose them at the end, but now it’s turned for them and they have some belief in themselves. It’s just fun to be a part of right now.”

The Warriors (12-14, 6-3 FVC Valley) have won four in a row since getting senior guard Nick Bellich back from injury. Three of those four have been conference road games.

On Friday, four Warriors scored in double digits, led by 16 points from Colton Klein. Brian O’Toole and Gavin Markgraff each added 12, while Bellich scored 10. Deshawn Wilson hit a pair of 3-pointers to finish with six points.

Cary-Grove was led by 17 points from

Danny Schmidt, and 12 from Zach Beaugureau.

McHenry started slowly, but used four 3-pointers to open a 15-8 lead by the end of the first quarter and led 19-10 at half.

The Warriors started to pull away in the third when O’Toole scored 10 on his own, dominating the glass. His putback at the buzzer gave McHenry a 38-21 lead after three quarters.

The Trojans (6-17, 3-6 FVC Valley) found their shooting touch in the fourth quarter to hang around. Beaugureau and Schmidt each hit a pair of 3s as the hosts made five 3-pointers in the fourth.

It wasn’t enough, however, with the Warriors hitting 17 of 22 free throws in the fourth to seal the win.

“That’s four in a row for us, it’s been a fun ride,” Paddock said.

Blue Streaks hold off Thunder in 4th quarter

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock and Woodstock North boys basketball teams’ seasons have been polar opposites in the win and loss columns.

The Blue Streaks had 16 wins to the Thunder’s four coming into Friday night’s game, but that was all pushed aside for the teams’ crosstown rivalry game at Woodstock North High School.

Despite a commanding first half, allowing only 11 points, Woodstock was outscored by 11 in the second half and had to hold off a fourth-quarter Thunder scoring surge for a 51-50 Fox Valley Conference Fox Division victory.

“We had a very competitive game with [Woodstock North] when they came

to our place, so we expected the same (tonight),” Blue Streaks coach Al Baker said. “They had a great fourth quarter and they got better down the stretch.”

The Blue Streaks’ (17-5, 8-3 FVC Fox) 2-3 zone in the first quarter gave the Thunder problems early. It slowed Woodstock North’s offense in the first half, as the Thunder shot only 5 of 15 (33 percent) and gave Woodstock a 2311 halftime lead.

In the second half, Woodstock went 10 for 25 from the field, but Woodstock North was even better. The Thunder hit 14 of their last 23 shots (61 percent), including four 3-pointers, and helped get the home crowd back into the game.

“Emotions were definitely high, and definitely a very physical game,” Blue Streaks guard Zach Cullum said.

Down by 13 heading into the final quarter, the Thunder (4-17, 1-10) needed a boost. They got one from guard Vic Ortiz. Ortiz (15 points), who knocked down a 3-pointer to cap off a 12-2 run to begin the fourth. It also tied the score with 3:15 remaining.

Collin Mergl’s layup put them ahead, 48-47, with less than two minutes to play, but Blue Streaks guard Dan Shook’s two free throws sealed the game.

Mergl led the Thunder with 19 points, while Matt Shook had 14 for the Blue Streaks.

“We just didn’t come out with a lot of energy,” Thunder coach Steve Ryan said.

“We did that for two quarters. We made some adjustments against their zone and the kids just hung around and kept playing. That’s all we asked them to do.”

On Friday, the two teams met again, also on senior night, and the result was nearly the same. and ended the quarter on a 21-0 run, Behind a first-quarter barrage in McHenry defeated Woodstock North which the Warriors shot 73 percent 50-31 in a nonconference game at

McHenry West.

On a night filled with pageantry and pregame highlight videos to honor the career of Kaleigh Johnson, it was McHenry’s (11-19) future that took over. The tandem of sophomore Elizabeth Alsot and freshman Isabel Gscheidle combined for 30 points and 15 rebounds and helped lead a defense that forced 26 Thunder turnovers.

“We came out really strong tonight and really wanted to win this game for Kaleigh,” Alsot said. “Defense is something that we work on a lot in practice, and our defense was huge tonight. We played a little flat in the second and third quarters, but got the energy back and closed the game out strong.”

Woodstock North (9-19) scored on its opening possession Friday, but that was it for the first quarter. The Thunder went scoreless the last 7:30 of the opening quarter and shot only 1 for 13. After trailing by 19 after the first

Woodstock North was led by Madison Butler’s eight points.

“Last year when we came here, they seemed to make every shot in the first quarter, and that happened again tonight,” Thunder coach Mike Lewis said. “Once we decided to play, we actually did OK. We have to learn how to weather the storm and can’t afford to get down by so much so early. Give McHenry credit, they played better than us and took it from us.”

Even with a huge early lead, McHenry coach Rob Niemic stressed to his young Warriors to not look at the score and that every possession can make them better heading into next week’s playoffs.

“I really loved our mentality and how unselfish we were to start tonight’s game,” Niemic said. “We want to play our best at the end of the season and we did that for a while tonight.”

Addante commits to Nebraska

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jacobs junior Mike Addante struck up a great relationship with Nebraska baseball coach Darin Erstad at a skills camp during his first visit to Lincoln last month.

The Golden Eagles’ speedy, left-handed hitting outfielder – as the Cornhuskers coach was – felt comfortable around Erstad and his assistants.

“It feels like home here,” Addante said. “Having Darin Erstad as head coach and being a Gold Glove winner and playing center field in a World Series [with Anaheim], everything just felt good from Mike Addante the coaches to players with the atmosphere.”

Addante revisited Nebraska on Friday, along with his parents Jeff and Deb, and committed to the Cornhuskers’ staff. He also considered Northwestern, but loved what he found in Lincoln.

“I decided to come back with my parents and get a feel for the school,” Addante said. “This is the place where I wanted to be.”

The Cornhuskers offered after Addante, a varsity player as a freshman, came to the skills camp. Erstad and his staff got a good look there, after first seeing him play with Elite Baseball Training’s travel team last summer.

Addante hit .257 last spring for Jacobs, which tied for third in the Class 4A state tournament. He tied for second on the Golden Eagles with 16 RBIs and was third on the team with 22 runs.

“Mike’s an incredible kid,” Eagles coach Jamie Murray said. “He’s a great student, just high character and a great teammate. He plays with Elite and they get a ton of exposure, he’s had a lot of interest from a lot of high-level programs.”

Addante played right field and center field for Jacobs last season. When Ryan Sargent, now at NCAA Division I Ohio, pitched, Addante played center. Sargent played center when he did not pitch.

“Mike hit first or third for us on a third-place state team as a sophomore,” Murray said. “He took some lumps, but he’s such a positive kid that I feel like he’s going to reap the benefits as a junior and senior and have an opportunity to put up some incredible numbers. He has the ability to do so many different things.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Rockets stumble vs. Cogs

By JOHN BUTKUS

sports@daily-chronicle.com GENOA – Neither the Genoa-Kingston nor the Richmond-Burton girls basketball teams could find much offense Friday night, but the Cogs surged late and handed the Rockets a 54-33 loss Friday night.

The Rockets did not have a player reach double-digits in scoring, with their leading scorer being KC Davids, who had nine points.

“We weren’t very sharp tonight, let me put it that way.” Richmond-Burton coach Todd Severns said. “Their strengths feed right into our weaknesses, and you have to give credit to them. When we aren’t sharp as a team, we tend to tense up and rush things and try to score five points in five seconds, and it all just starts to snowball.”

As were the Cogs, the Rockets were not on their offensive game and never could seem to string together a series of points to stay in the game. With 3:22 to go in the fourth quarter, the Cogs

opened the game up after stretching the lead to 27 points at 52-25 – part of that being a result of the Rockets’ offense never finding its rhythm.

The defense for the Cogs (15-11, 10-4 Big Northern Conference East Division) prevented Richmond-Burton from having a legitimate chance throughout most of the game. The Cogs’ stingy defense took the Rockets (12-14, 7-7 BNC East) out of their game and caused them to try to force passes that weren’t there and get into foul trouble from the early stages of the game.

“Our defense was pretty important for us tonight,” Genoa-Kingston coach Kyle Henkel said. “Our offense was pretty out of sync early and the fact that we held them (Richmond-Burton) to nine points in the first half allowed us to get going in the second half.”

Henkel said he like the hustle and energy his team showed.

“The one thing I ask from this team is to go out there and be the team that plays the hardest and I think we did

that.” Henkel said. “We were the first ones on the floor for loose balls and we did a great job of preventing them from getting second chance shots.

Our defense and energy level carried us tonight.”

Despite lacking for a good portion of the game, according to Henkel, the Cogs did have a few bright spots in the game and broke through during the fourth quarter – scoring 17 points being the highest quarter total of the night. The Cogs were led by top scorers Jesi Nay with 17 points and Julie Galauner with 15 points.

St. Francis 62, Marian Central 55: At Wheaton, the Hurricanes’ comeback came up short in an East Suburban Catholic Conference loss.

The Hurricanes (10-17, 1-5 ESCC) trailed by 14 at the end of the third quarter, but outscored St. Francis, 2518, in the fourth to close the gap. Vannessa Garrelts had 16 of her 26 points in the fourth.

Emily Radecki and Hannah Gillespie each added six points for Marian Central.

Forte will not be re-signed

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com Bears general manager Ryan Pace informed Matt Forte that the running back will not be re-signed for 2016.

“Despite my wishes, my days as a member of the Chicago Bears have sadly come to an end,” Forte wrote on his Instagram account. “I was informed earlier this week from the GM that they will not be attempting to re-sign me in free agency.

“I will remain forever grateful for my time spent in Chicago and being able to play for an organization with such a rich history. My only regret is not being able to win a Lombardi trophy for the best fans in all of sports.

“I’m excited about the next chapter of my NFL career. But, Chicago will always be home. God Bless and Bear Down!”

A second-round pick of the Bears in 2008, Forte leaves the Bears second all-time in franchise history in rushing yards with 8,602. He had 45 rushing touchdowns and 19 receiving touchdowns in his eight seasons with the Bears.

West and went on to win 11 games in a row before bowing out in the second round of the playoffs.

When you look at John Fox’s tenure in Denver, it was running back by committee, moving players in and out of the lineup depending on who had the hot hand. First a recycled Knowshon Moreno, then Montee Ball, C.J. Anderson, Ronnie Hillman, etc.

Nobody special, but the Broncos ran the ball well.

So where does that leave the Bears?

We should all be intrigued by Jeremy Langford off what we saw in his rookie year. Stylistically, he just might be the next Forte. But as the season wore on, he was not always the blocker or receiver the Bears hoped, and in the same offense and behind the same line he averaged half a yard per carry less than Forte on the season.

Ka’Deem Carey might be a nice No. 3, but that really appears to be his ceiling.

I understand why the Bears moved on from Forte, but the fact is he was the best offensive player on the team and they now absolutely need another back to either take the No. 1 job from Langford or at least be a solid No. 2.

Whether they shop in free agency or the draft will be interesting, but what is most interesting to me is I believe this is an acknowledgement by general manager Ryan Pace that his team is still at least a year away from competing.

Frankly, I take that as good news, that the guy running the team is viewing the job through clear eyes.

The Bears’ decision to move on from Matt Forte really has to be viewed on various planes.

As clear as Forte has made it that his first choice would be to remain a Bear, and as much as we all admire those rare and special players like Dick Butkus, Doug Buffone, Dan Hampton and, of course, Walter Payton who had long and illustrious careers in the NFL, all with the Bears, that no longer is the way of the NFL’s world.

Today in the “Not For Long” league, 30-year-old running backs rarely get a lot of love.

I understand Forte’s disappointment today. Twelve years ago after 20 years as part of the Bears radio broadcast team, I was told I no longer was needed.

For about four or five months, I felt like my family had disowned me.

Then the strangest thing happened – I Matt Forte actually got a better job working for Westwood One as part of the national radio broadcasts of NFL games of the week.

Before long, I found myself feeling the same affection and devotion to the Bears as I’d felt when I was part of the broadcast. This decision doesn’t have to ruin all the good times, it just means it’s time for something new.

Forte is the exception when it comes to 30-year-old running backs.

On the last day of the 2015 season, he still was one of the best in the game.

There will be a market for Forte and he actually is a perfect fit for some teams ready to win right now – the New England Patriots come to mind – and that is something that wasn’t going to happen for him in Chicago.

What this means for the Bears is a very different question, actually several different questions.

It must be understood that running back is one of the least-valued positions in the NFL today, with most teams believing you can find them anywhere and there are a lot of different guys you can plug in.

Look at what happened in Kansas City this season. The Bears left town with Jamaal Charles, one of the best in the game, done for the season and the Chiefs at 1-5.

They plugged in two guys named Spencer Ware and Charcandrick

12 ILLINOIS YOUTH SOCCER

Group places a ban on heading The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – The group that governs 81,000 young soccer players in Illinois said it no longer will let athletes age 10 and younger use their heads to strike the ball.

Illinois Youth Soccer representatives said the change is meant to promote safety. The group made the announcement this week.

The Chicago Tribune reported

that the change agrees with recommendations that U.S. Soccer made in November after it faced a lawsuit by parents who claimed the organization wasn’t doing enough to protect children from concussions.

Illinois Youth Soccer guidelines now will say that a purposeful header by a player age 10 or young will mean the other team gets an indirect free kick. The group said it wanted to make the change before the spring season starts.

NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Shaq, Iverson finalists for basketball Hall of Fame The ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO – Shaquille O’Neal was just 9 years old when his stepfather began teaching him basketball with a plan to dominate like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Young Shaquille didn’t even know who they were.

Now he’s on the verge of joining them in basketball immortality.

“He told me this day would happen and I never believed him,” O’Neal said of Phillip Harrison, who raised Shaq along with his mother and died in 2013.

O’Neal was chosen Friday as a finalist for induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, joining Allen Iverson to highlight the potential class.

Yao Ming could accompany them in September in Springfield, Massachusetts, although he was nominated by the Hall’s International Committee and wasn’t subject to the step O’Neal and Iverson had to clear Friday.

Former Phoenix Suns point guard Kevin Johnson, college coaches Tom Izzo, Bo Ryan, Lefty Driesell, Eddie Sutton and Muffet McGraw; women’s superstar Sheryl Swoopes, longtime referee Darrel Garretson, high school coaches Leta Andrews and Robert Hughes, 10-time AAU national champion Wayland Baptist University, and John McClendon, the first black coach in a professional league, also were chosen as finalists by the North American or Women’s Committees.

The entire class will be unveiled April 4 in Houston before the NCAA championship game, and enshrinement ceremonies are set for Sept. 9 in what could be an overcrowded birthplace of basketball if O’Neal, Yao, Iverson and their fans are all there.

Bosh out with calf injury: Chris Bosh’s All-Star participation for this year is over, before he ever took the floor in the city where his career began.

The Miami Heat forward withdrew from Saturday’s 3-point contest and Sunday’s All-Star Game, citing a strained right calf. Bosh – who will remain in Toronto for the weekend – was replaced on the Eastern Conference roster for Sunday’s game by Atlanta’s Al Horford, chosen by NBA commissioner Adam Silver to fill the vacated spot.

Portland’s C.J. McCollum will fill Bosh’s spot in the 3-point event, keeping that field at eight as planned.

And Drake didn’t even need to change out of his sharp jacket and tie to get the win.

With NBA All-Stars Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Kyle Lowry looking on, as well as celebs Spike Lee, Vin Diesel and Guy Fieri in the stands, Drake – aided by a dunk from tennis star Milos Raonic – led the Canadians to a nine-point lead at the half.

NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant gestures to fans as he walks off of the court after a game against the Spurs on Feb. 6 in San Antonio. The final NBA All-Star Game for Bryant and the first to be staged outside the U.S. is in Toronto. minutes Sunday.

Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant isn’t buying that one.

“We definitely want to send him off on a good note,” Durant said. “We know he’s going to be super competitive.”

It is a festive sendoff, for certain.

Dozens of media members staked out space around Bryant’s podium long before he started speaking Friday, but some just wanted to take selfies with him in the background. Bryant was a featured panelist at the NBA’s technology summit earlier in the morning to

share ideas with league executives and others, and has his wife and their two daughters in Toronto so the whole family can bask in the celebrations.

“This is pretty cool,” Bryant said.

“I’m looking around the room and I’m seeing guys that I’m playing with that are tearing the league up that were like 4 for my first All-Star Game. ... How many players can say they played 20 years and actually have seen the game go through three, four generations? It’s not sad at all. I’m really happy and honored to be here and see this.”

So were his All-Star peers.

Curry returns to Toronto at the height of his powers

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

TORONTO – When the Toronto Raptors signed Dell Curry in 1999 to provide some shooting on the perimeter, they also acquired two young children in the deal that would dart around the back hallways of the Air Canada Center dribbling basketballs and bouncing off the walls.

Steph Curry remembers those days well as a pre-teen, horsing around with little brother Seth in front of ushers who still work there. He recalls watching his first and only hockey game when the Maple Leafs were home, and even being held out of his first game as a middle school kid because he did not do the dishes earlier that day.

“To be back here and celebrate an All-Star game is special,” Curry said Friday.

He returns to the place he called home for three years for All-Star weekend at the height of his powers, an NBA champion, the reigning MVP and the new face of the league while his Golden State Warriors blow the Steph Curry doors off of the competition.

“There’s a lot more to accomplish,” Curry said. “It’s nice that I won a championship and an MVP and all that and to be here for weekends like this.

I want to continue to strive for more.”

The Warriors are an astounding

48-4 at the break and have taken aim at the single-season record of 72 wins by the 1995-96 Bulls. Curry leads the league in scoring at 29.8 points a game and splashes 3-pointers like no one to have ever played before him. A second straight MVP award appears inevitable, and the baby-faced assassin has designs on doing for Under Armour what Michael Jordan did for Nike.

He also has made the 3-pointer cool again, with his showdown with teammate Klay Thompson in the 3-point shootout Saturday night as anticipated of an event as the dunk contest. Maybe more.

“I’ve never seen anybody hit the shots that he hits,” Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal said. “That’s the only thing you can say right now. He’s real-

ly that good.”

Much of the All-Star festivities this weekend are concentrated on paying respects to Lakers star Kobe Bryant in his final trip, and Curry joked when he took the podium after a stampede of journalists raced across the ballroom floor to follow Bryant that, “Kobe is talking if anybody wants to go.”

But there is no denying who owns the NBA right now. Curry’s jersey is the league’s best seller for the second straight season, with the younger generation becoming enamored with his shooting range and slick ball-handling.

And even his teammates have a hard time keeping their composure when he rips off one of his shake-and-bake dribbles and launches a step-back 3 from another zip code.

TORONTO – Kobe Bryant answered questions in Spanish and Italian, raved about Canadian hospitality, showed off knowledge of both Greek basketball and English soccer. He announced plans to go to the Philippines and Taiwan, thanked fans from Japan and even asked a reporter how to say a phrase in Mandarin.

It all made perfect sense.

The basketball world belongs to Bryant, at least for one more weekend.

About 750 million people around the globe are expected to follow Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game in one form or another, and it’s a safe guess most will do so to keep a keen eye on Bryant’s final appearance in the league’s midseason showcase. His farewell season now officially starting to wind down, the Los Angeles Lakers’ star was the center of attraction at media day Friday – and he seemed most appreciative.

“I just feel very blessed to be able to play so many years, man,” Bryant said.

“Twenty years is a long time, so I feel very good about it.”

Bryant was the leading vote-getter in the fan balloting that chose the starting lineup for Sunday’s game, a lifetime achievement award more than anything related to his play this season. At 37 years old, he obviously is not the same player he was when he was helping the Lakers win five championships, although during the season he’s shown flashes of what made him one of the game’s all-time elite.

Bryant said he’d be fine playing 10

Cleveland’s LeBron James still might be the best player in the world, Miami’s Dwyane Wade has more championship rings than any other All-Star this year besides Bryant, Toronto’s Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are getting the hometown support and Golden State’s Stephen Curry is the reigning MVP for a team that won last year’s title.

But they all know the spotlight is going to be on No. 24.

“I think it’s going to be special,” said James, who got Bryant’s sneakers autographed after the Lakers visited Cleveland this week for his own trophy case. “Not only for myself, but for the fans here and for all of Kobe’s fans.”

And Bryant’s career-best 81-point game against the Raptors might be a sore subject in Toronto, but it still stands out to Curry as the quintessential Kobe moment.

“I’ve been hot before and made every shot I threw up there and got on a little streak in a game,” said Curry, the game’s premier sharpshooter. “But to score 81 points, so many things have to go right and the situation has to be just perfect for it and you have to have a special talent level like Kobe to do it.

“Just watching the game, it still doesn’t make sense. How did he do it?”

Bryant made the decision early this season that he would retire, then announced it weeks ago not because he wanted a farewell tour – he originally wasn’t keen on that idea, but has been moved by the tributes that have come as he’s visited NBA cities as an opponent for the last time – but because he wanted to start the process of moving on for both himself and the Lakers.
