Relationship with pharmacy robot: It’s complicated Not a lot of people call me on my cellphone to actually talk to me, which is fine with me. Stay under the radar.

I’m mostly at work during the day, and I don’t want to be interrupted by personal telephone calls at work. Despite having a cellphone for the past 10 years, I still am of a mind that a phone call should come on a telephone that is attached to the wall at home, and we haven’t had one of those for years. It was an unnecessary expense, and we got rid of it. If people wanted to call, they had our cellphone numbers.

The people who call me the most aren’t really even people. They are robots making automated calls. And those robots come from the pharmacy I frequent. I haven’t done a study, but I would guess that 80 percent of my calls come from the pharmacy. And another 10 percent are solicitors.

It’s kind of a running joke at home when my Dumb Phone rings. I don’t even have to get the phone out of my pocket. “It’s the pharmacy,” I say and sigh. And I can push a button on the side of my phone through my pants to stop it from ringing. I’ll check later, and it’s the pharmacy to remind me it’s time to order a prescription, or it’s time to pick one up, or my prescription isn’t ready so wait for another call.

I don’t even talk to a live person when I call the pharmacy. It’s a machine programmed to ask me the right questions about my call to the pharmacy, and I respond by punching in numbers to get the pharmacy and speak in English, then punch in the numbers for my prescription once it has been established that’s why I’m calling.

My prescriptions – and there’s a lot of them – have a 12-digit number to identify them when refilling. The first seven numbers are for the prescription, and the last five are the store number. Initially, the cadence of the numbers the machine repeated back to you made sense and was easy to follow while you were reading the side of the bottle to make sure you were ordering the right medication. The numbers were grouped in two sets of three followed by a single digit, and then the store identifier rolled off in a group of five. It made sense in my head to follow. In the past year or two, the pharmacy changed its cadence to something like two digits, three digits, two digits, followed by three digits and two digits. Or something like that. At first, I was thrown for a loop, unable to keep up with the numbers being spewed at me. I thought I eventually would get used to the new cadence.

But it hasn’t happened after all this time. I’m still trying to catch up to the machine, matching the numbers on my bottle with the numbers

VIEWS Dick Peterson being read back to me, and being asked if this is correct. Press one, if yes. Press two, if no. After going through all that, it then asks if I want the prescription refilled.

What? I’ve gone through all the trouble of punching in the numbers of the prescription, then having verified the number, and it asks me if I want to go ahead and refill the prescription? No, I was just bored. I don’t really need the prescription. I was just calling to chat electronically, thank you for entertaining me.

Then it asks when I would like to pick up the prescription. Press one if it is tomorrow or press two if it is today. Then it asks what time you would like to pick it up, and you punch in the numbers, then you need to punch in whether it is a.m. or p.m. Then it reads it back to you, and you confirm what you’ve painstakingly entered.

Then it confirms your telephone number, which hasn’t changed in 10 years, but you wait to hear the number just in case something happens in the computer system, and you press one for yes.

And your order is complete. It’s exhausting.

The only thing worse is to be switched to a live pharmacy technician because you’ve ordered a medication that needs permission to be refilled by your doctor. Most times, the computer moves on to the next prescription, but sometimes, it kicks you to a live person. And the phone rings and you wait on hold until the next technician is available.

And this is a busy pharmacy, and it takes up to five minutes for the call to be answered, and the music on hold is horrid and filled with static, interrupted every so often by an announcement that your call will be answered soon. It’s all very aggravating and pointless.

You know the pharmacy has to contact your doctor, so just go ahead and do it. I don’t need to explain it all to a human, who will say, “Mmhmm, mm-hmm. Yes, we’ll need to contact your doctor to refill the prescription. Thank you.”

And those are 80 percent of my calls, from the pharmacy, my new best friend it seems.

Schools work to protect pupils’ data, teach youths about digital citizenship

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com CARY – The apps used in Cary School District 26 classrooms are vetted first.

Instructional technology coordinator Jennifer Fisher looks at their student privacy policies, overall quality and versatility across grades and subject areas.

These online educational programs have “dramatically changed the landscape of education” – but while these tools have opened up ways for teachers to share lesson plans and students to collaborate online, they come with questions about how well some protect student data, according to a U.S. Department of Education report.

Privacy has become a watch word across various fields, not just education.

This year, the American Civil Liberties Union has filed bills in 16 states, including Illinois, and the District of Columbia aimed at privacy issues.

Only one of the various proposed bills – which tackle student privacy, the police and employer-employee relationships – has been introduced in Illinois, because Illinois Photos by Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com has passed many of the other mea- Mason Duvall (left) and Jake Steele use an iPad to follow along during an online behavior workshop Thursday at Briarwood sures being proposed, ACLU Illinois Elementary School in Cary. spokesman Ed Yohnka said.

D-300 bypassed for federally subsidized construction bonds

ALGONQUIN – For one school district, a wish list of construction projects will have to be re-evaluated after the district was not selected for a school construction bond program it recently applied for.

Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300 last month applied for qualified school construction bonds through a program offered by the state to give federal dollars for school construction projects. The bonds were described to be low- to no-interest.

Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 also applied and included a number of potential projects, from roof replacements to the installation of air conditioning.

“Now we’ll go back to our construction facility and oversight committee and re-prioritize the list,” District 300 Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin said. “We can probably push some of the projects back a couple of years.”

District 300 applied for $35 million worth of bonding authority with the hope

of starting some projects that have been waiting to get done since 2006, when the district passed a $185 million referendum.

The referendum allowed about $200 million worth of projects to be completed, but a capital development bond program that was supposed to supplement the district for more projects was discontinued, Harkin said.

If the district had been selected for the qualified school construction bond program, “We would’ve increased our current debt payment to about $500,000 to get $35 million worth of projects done,” she said.

The application included the repair and rehabilitation of the Jacobs High School roof, and additional classrooms in a couple schools, among other items.

“You spend a lot of money patching and repairing – that’s good money spent badly because, at some point, you’ve got to just replace those roofs,” Harkin said.

One project that was on the list was the addition of nine classrooms to Carpentersville Middle School, a project still scheduled that would have to be paid for partially with debt certificates.

In District 47, the application wish

list included the installation of air conditioning, secure entryways, roof and floor work, among other items.

“The district evaluates projects each year and places them by priority and the resources available,” Assistant Superintendent of Business Cathy Nelson said in an email. “This process will continue.”

Neither school district, nor any other from McHenry County, was selected, according to a list recently released by the Illinois State Board of Education.

The 29 districts that were selected, collectively receiving about $495 million-plus in bonding authority from ISBE, are from Cook, Marion, Winnebago, Vermilion, Kankakee, Champaign, DuPage, LaSalle and Kane counties.

Based on what she knows about the districts that were selected, Harkin said the selection process seemed to have taken poverty level into account.

“What I noticed in most districts was high poverty, high need,” she said.

State officials said 193 applications were submitted seeking $2.4 billion. The ISBE staff reviewed the applications using a priority ranking process.

Capital improvement plan IDs project priorities for next 5 years

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Projects from road improvements to the possibility of expanding Emricson Park totaling more than $50 million have been identified for Woodstock for the next five fiscal years.

The Woodstock City Council and city staff have finalized the city’s capital improvement program plan, which is updated annually and identifies the city’s needs for fiscal 2016-17 through 2020-21.

“There is actually no way that we can fund everything that we know needs to occur in the long-term period for the city of Woodstock,” Mayor Brian Sager said at the Feb. 2 City Council meeting when the plan was discussed.

The plan does, however, give the city an opportunity to say they agree or they have concerns about identifying priorities, he said.

Although the capital improvement plan lays out priorities for projects and their estimated costs, it is separate from the fiscal 2016-17 budget, and is used as a planning document by the city, according to plan documents.

Recommendations listed on the plan are considered when the budget is created.

About $53.3 million was identified

For more The village of Woodstock’s capital improvement plan details future projects and the status of projects approved for fiscal 2015-16.

Read the document at www.woodstockil.gov/finance/page/capital-improvement-program-cip. for recommended expenditures in the next fiscal year, documents show.

The capital improvement program is broken up into the general, utility, environmental management, library and tax increment financing funds.

The bulk of the money in the streets, sidewalks and signals category of the general fund is identified for the annual street resurfacing program, which city documents note is one of the most important programs for the city.

For the upcoming fiscal year, $1.2 million was identified for the annual street resurfacing program, roughly the same amount allocated in the previous year.

A pavement management report created by the city this year to assess the conditions of streets estimated it would cost about $69 million to complete all necessary road improve-

ments.

The city also identified $60,000 for the next fiscal year, and $900,000 total over the next five years, toward the improvement of Route 47.

Another project under the general fund identifies $75,000 for land expansion at Emricson Park in the upcoming fiscal year.

City documents state the park has been developed to its capacity, and three parcels of land around the property are being considered for purchase by the city, totaling 52.8 acres.

For the tax increment financing fund, projects that topped the list for priorities and cost included TIF bond payments, repairs to the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House and streetscape improvements.

Window repair and restoration in the Old Courthouse was marked as a priority for the next fiscal year, with $600,000 identified for repairs. About $3.6 million was identified for restoring the historic building for the next five years.

The plan notes the Courthouse Advisory Commission will assist with prioritizing the repairs, so priorities may change.

The complete plan, which details future projects and the status of projects approved for fiscal 2015-16, can be found under the finance section of the city’s website.

permission to use them, Yohnka said.

McHenry Deputy Chief John Birk doesn’t see the devices as being an issue for smaller departments like his – as opposed to departments such as Chicago, where legal challenges have been filed trying to obtain records outlining the devices’ use – because the cost of the devices just couldn’t be justified.

His department teams up with state and federal enforcement agencies when it needs access to resources such as the ability to track cellphones, Birk said.

Those partnerships, however, have facilitated the spread of the technology, Yohnka said, adding that falling costs and available grant money also have helped smaller departments purchase the devices.

Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Tom Kotlowski said he isn’t worried about any new changes to how officers have to do their jobs, adding that the department works hard to make sure everyone knows what the rules are.

“As technology changes and new social media comes together, there are hurdles and obstacles that law enforcement needs to work with, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything new,” he said.

Cary School District 26 is ready to adapt, too, as it moves into the pilot program of its one-to-one program, which

Any application downloads will have to go through a district account, which gives schools more control, he said, adding that while the mining of some student data may be going on, most student data is staying private.

The schools also are teaching kids how to keep their data private through a digital citizenship program taught as part of their technology curriculum, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Valerie McCall said. The curriculum is based on the International Society for Technology in Education standards, which starts in kindergartens with the basics of how to use different devices and gets more challenging as the student develops, McCall said.

McCall thinks the curriculum is effective in teaching kids about online reputations and safety – what Fitzsimons called the “stranger danger of the 21st century” – by mixing it in with these other subjects.

“The goal, I think, is to really get our students ready to function safely online and in their future careers, use [the technology] efficiently and to produce good quality products,” Fitzsimons said. “We feel like that invisible integration of both the digital citizenship and the how-tos are [an effective way to do that].”

CRYSTAL LAKE

LOCAL BRIEF

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com

From Prairie Ridge High School, Erik Seyring, social studies teacher and team sponsor, said the 18 students from his school were recommended by Advanced Placement course teachers.

“We have a talented group of students that work really hard in their AP classes, and this gives them a chance to showcase their talents,” Seyring said.

Individual students advancing to sectionals are from Johnsburg High School, Marian, Prairie Ridge, Richmond-Burton Community High School, Marengo High School, Woodstock North High School, Crystal Lake South High School, Huntley High School, Crystal Lake Central High School and Cary-Grove High School.

The test material is drawn from senior high school and freshman-level college curricula and written by teams of college and university faculty, MCC officials said.

Students have 40 minutes to finish multiple-choice tests that range in length from 30 to 100 questions.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Three area schools placed as top winners in separate divisions in the recent 2016 McHenry County College Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering competition.

MCC hosted the annual competition Feb. 5. Fifteen area high schools and more than 300 students competed for top scores in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering graphics, English, math and physics, according to a recent MCC news release.

Created and administered by Aurora-based Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering, the Academic Challenge is a series of competitive tests offered to high school students in Illinois and Missouri.

Woodstock-based Marian Central Catholic High School won first place in the division for enrollment less than 700; Crystal Lake-based Prairie Ridge

High School won first place among schools with between 701 and 1,500 students; and Barrington High School placed first among schools with more than 1,500 students.

At the Elgin Community College competition, the team from Community Unit School District 300’s Jacobs High School also placed first out of five teams, school officials said.

The teams from those schools will advance to sectionals in March, as will a number of McHenry County students who competed as individuals.

Math teacher and Marian Central team coach Alison Dwyer said 14 students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, participated from Marian. The students involved volunteer to do so, she added.

“We are in one of the smaller divisions because of the size of our school, but even some of our first places would have scored very well in the larger divisions, so we’re very proud,” Dwyer said.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A Yale-trained ecologist will be featured in the 2016 Bioneers Speaker Series hosted by McHenry County College.

The final day of the series will feature “Pollinators, Plants and People on the Edge of What’s Left,” by Robert Michael Pyle at 7 p.m. Feb. 23, a recent MCC news release said.

Pyle will explore the importance of pollinators while offering practical solutions to the most critical ecological issue of our time, MCC officials said.

Before that, Food Tank President Danielle Nierenberg will present “The Recipe for a Better Food System,” which will cover preventing food loss and waste, building soil and cultivating agricultural leaders, and empowering women.

The series, which is free and open to the public, began Tuesday.

For information, call the MCC Sustainability Center at 815-479-7765 or visit www.mchenry.edu/bioneers.

2015 BEST OF THE FOX WINNER

One of the Best Plumbers of McHenry County!

The Land Conservancy seeks farmland for lease NORTHWEST HERALD

WOODSTOCK – The Land Conservancy of McHenry County, a nonprofit land preservation organization, is looking to increase its listings of land for lease as part of its Farmer Match Program.

The goal of the program is to help small or beginning farmers find land for their operations. Landowners with farm available for lease may contact The Land Conservancy for an application.

Parcels then are listed on The Conservancy’s website. Interested farmers may contact The Land Conservancy if they find a parcel that meets their requirements, and the match is made with the landowner.

“We’re hoping that this program will be helpful to landowners who have land they would like to see used for farming,” said Linda Balek, land protection specialist with the Land Conservancy of McHenry County. “Whether it’s a few vacant acres or a whole

farm that includes a residence and a barn, it can be just the thing a farmer is looking for.”

Aside from helping a sustainable farmer, landowners may benefit from the Farmer Match Program in a number of ways, such as lower property taxes, improved soil quality, rental income and a share of the produce.

With the growth of farmers’ markets, farm stands and CSAs (community supported agriculture), consumers are proving that there is a demand for locally produced food in McHenry County, Conservancy officials said.

“The Conservancy wants to assist in whatever ways we can to make it easier for small-scale, beginning and diversified farmers to find the land they need,” Balek said. “Why should we pass up such a great opportunity to keep as many farmers as possible right here in our county?”

For information on the Farmer Match Program, contact The Land Conservancy at 815-337-9502 or LBalek@ conservemc.org.

16 TROUT VALLEY

Village working to help restore rare fen habitat

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com TROUT VALLEY – For several years, David Hall has urged Trout Valley officials to do something about the fen in the middle of the village that had been neglected and partially taken over by invasive plants.

Last year, he took matters into his own hands, helping forge a contract with The Land Conservancy of McHenry County that aims to restore the rare natural habitat over the next several years.

For spearheading the project, the conservancy awarded Trout Valley a 2016 Living with Trees award, an honor for entities that work to ensure McHenry County will have oaks in the future.

Hall, a village trustee, helped spearhead the partnership that began in December. Volunteers from both Trout Valley and the conservancy have worked to remove and burn many of the invasive plants, such as buckthorn, burning bush and honeysuckle.

Since the initial effort, a group of about seven volunteers from the village

Volunteers from the conservancy will rejoin the effort in spring, he said, and the contract is set up as a three-year project that has to be renewed annually.

“It depends on how the village looks upon what work we’ve done, and hopefully it’s beneficial,” Hall said. “They say over a three-year period, they should get rid of most of the invasive plants, and it’s a matter of maintenance after that.”

The fen spans 9 acres and sits between Turkey Run Road and Trout Valley Road.

Caring for others, doing things for others, also should be on the list of priorities when it comes to improving yourself.

ETHEL V. CAJTHAML

EVELYN J. DENLEY

BARBARA A. BOROWSKI Babara Ann Borowski passed away Thursday, the 11th of February, at her home with her husband and two sons at her side.

Barbara was born in 1941 the daughter of Edwin and Margaret Ognie. She was raised by her mother and stepfather, Ralph Cory on the North side of Chicago. She was a graduate of St. Benedict High School. She married the love of her life, Ronald Borowski, in 1963. She was constantly busy raising a family, volunteering at her church and participating in community events as well as being a lifelong Cubs fan.

Most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends. Barbara was diagnosed with a terminal lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) in 1980 and received a lung transplant in 2002. Her strength allowed her to exceed the life expectancy for a lung transplant recipient by more than 10 years.

Her determination for life and sense of humor inspired everyone around her.

She leaves her beloved husband of 53 years, Ronald; her two sons, Steven and Donald; her brother, Richard Ognie; grandchildren, Daniel, Alyssa and Oliver; great grandchild, Levi along with many nieces and nephews.

Instead of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to LAM Foundation, 4015 Executive Park Drive, Suite 320, Cincinnati, OH 45241, or at www.thelamfoundation.org.

Police shooting spurs state agency changes “I can’t defend the department. I think we could clearly have done a better job by Laquan [McDonald].

He should have had a much greater opportunity to improve.”

By SOPHIA TAREEN

ter job by Laquan,” Sheldon said. “He should have had a much greater opportunity to improve.”

The changes related to McDonald come as the embattled agency, where there have been eight directors in five years, is being forced to implement reforms as part of a decades-old consent decree.

Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois sued, alleging “dangerously inadequate” care and services. With help from outside experts, the two sides have been hammering out changes, with the agency’s plan for moving forward due before a judge on Feb. 23.

McDonald’s troubled life has been well documented by local journalists, including accusations that DCFS and the city’s school system may have failed to get enough help for him.

He was in foster care by age 3 when

DCFS officials deemed his mother unable to provide adequate supervision. Later, a boyfriend of his mother’s allegedly abused him, according to DCFS. The teenage McDonald lived with his great-grandmother until she died in 2014. That same year he was arrested for possession of marijuana and held in juvenile detention, according to state records.

In October 2014, the black teenager was shot 16 times by officer Jason Van Dyke, and the release of a video of the shooting led to the firing of Chicago’s police superintendent, new policing strategies and calls for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down.

Videotape released after a judge’s order appeared to show McDonald veering away from officers who’d been called on a reported burglary. Van Dyke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. McDonald was carrying

a pocket knife, and an autopsy report later said small amounts of a hallucinogenic drug were found in his system.

After the video was released, Sheldon told AP that state workers took two weeks to review McDonald’s case with different parts of the agency collaborating on where things went wrong and what improvements could be made, marking the first time that model had been used in earnest. Sheldon said the streamlined system – to avoid employees working in “silos” on the same issue – would be used for future cases where there were failures.

For McDonald, Sheldon said it was clear there should have been more early intervention, such as therapy for the alleged abuse because of the potential for long-term trauma.

“I don’t think anybody intentionally didn’t do their job,” he said. “But we didn’t understand, in early 2000s, the impact of trauma on kids.”

Jeffrey Neslund, one of the attorneys who helped the McDonald family reach a $5 million settlement with the city over the shooting last year, said the problems with DCFS went further.

He said problems continued in foster care arranged by the state.

“That shows there was just a complete lack of supervision,” he said.

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The death of Laquan McDonald, a black Chicago teenager who was a state ward for most of his life before he was shot 16 times by a white police officer, has spurred Illinois’ child welfare agency to look differently and with more focus at the cases of troubled youths, the director told The Associated Press.

Department of Children and Family Services Director George Sheldon said in an AP interview this week that since police footage of the 2014 shooting was publicly released last November, agency employees have combed through some 7,000 pages of documents related to the troubled teen’s life in a more personal way, a model for how such cases can be handled in the future.

Sheldon – Florida’s former child welfare agency director who was appointed to the Illinois post last year – acknowledged DCFS, which cares for about 14,500 children, could have done a better job in helping McDonald as a young child. He said the tragic death and the agency’s handling of his case had become a “teachable moment.”

Granite City man convicted of murder in 21-month old’s death

EDWARDSVILLE – A Granite City man has been convicted of first-degree murder in the 2012 beating death of his girlfriend’s 21-month-old son.

A Madison County jury deliberated for three hours Friday before finding 42-yearold John Holman III guilty.

The mother of Jashean Rusher left him in the care of Holmon. The child’s grandmother found him covered in bruises and not breathing. He was later pronounced dead at Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City.

An autopsy determined more than 50 wounds had been inflicted on the toddler.

During Holman’s trial, forensic pathologist Dr. Raj Nanduri testified some of the injuries the child suffered were consistent with those inflicted by the knuckles of an adult. Other injuries indicated Jashean had also been struck with an object.

Associate Judge Neil Schroeder will set sentencing after post-conviction reports

Chicago police officer involved in 2004 Koschman case quits

CHICAGO – A Chicago police lieutenant who the department was trying to fire for his role in the 2004 homicide investigation involving the nephew of then-Mayor Richard Daley has quit.

Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says Lieutenant Denis Walsh resigned last week just days after the department announced that Interim Superintendent John Escalante is recommending to the Chicago Police Board that Walsh be fired.

The department has said Walsh and two officers whom Escalante wants suspended “did not properly follow department policies” when they investigated the death of David Koschman. Koschman died after a fight with Daley’s nephew, Richard Vanecko, outside a Chicago bar.

Articles by the Chicago Sun-Times raised questions about whether police and prosecutors mishandled the case, and in 2014 Vanecko pleaded guilty to

City of Bloomington, ISU team up to monitor quality of Bloomington lakes

BLOOMINGTON – Bloomington city officials and Illinois State University are teaming up to install stations to monitor water quality in the city’s two water-supply lakes.

The Bloomington Pantagraph reported stations will be installed in creeks flowing into Lake Bloomington and Evergreen Lake this spring. Data will be posted on a website showing how fast water is flowing into the lakes, how much and how pure it is.

Residents may use the data to prepare for flooding or determine when recreation is best. But Catherine O’Reilly, associated professor of geography and geology at ISU, says the two stations costing $38,000 will be important to measure sediment and impurities such as nitrogen.

A survey last year found residents satisfied with the water quality in both lakes.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Tough papal love to Mexico Police: 3 killed, scores in hospitals after big pileup political and church elite

MEXICO CITY – Pope Francis issued a tough-love message to Mexico’s political and church elites Saturday, telling them they have a duty to provide their people with security, justice and courageous pastoral care to confront the drug-inspired violence and corruption that are tormenting the country.

The raucous welcome Francis received from cheering Mexicans who lined his motorcade route contrasted sharply with his pointed criticism of how church and state leaders here often have failed their people, especially the poorest and most marginalized.

FREDERICKSBURG, Pa. – A pileup involving dozens of vehicles on a Pennsylvania interstate that killed three people and sent dozens to hospitals appears to have been related to a passing snow squall, authorities said Saturday.

Trooper Justin Summa said three fatalities had been confirmed following the 9:45 a.m.

Saturday crashes that involved at least 50 commercial and private vehicles. Police said more than 40 people were taken to several hospitals following the crashes in Interstate 78.

Republican presidential candidates (from left) Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, businessman Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson take the stage Saturday before the CBS News Republican presidential debate at the Peace Center in Greenville, S.C.

Debate: GOP contenders say no court nominee for Obama

By JULIE PACE and WILL WEISSERT The Associated Press

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Republican White House hopefuls called for President Barack Obama to step aside and allow his successor to nominate the next Supreme Court justice, as they opened a debate jolted by Saturday’s death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

Only Jeb Bush said Obama had “every right” to nominate a justice during his final year in office. The former Florida governor said there should be “consensus orientation on that nomination” – but added that he didn’t expect Obama would pick a candidate in that vain.

The five other candidates on the stage Saturday urged the Republican-led Senate to block any attempts by the president to get his third nominee on the court.

“It’s up to Mitch McConnell and everybody else to stop it,” Donald Trump said.

“It’s called delay, delay, delay.”

Trump and Bush also tan-

gled in some of the night’s most biting exchanges, highlighting the bad blood between the real estate mogul who leads the Republican field and the former Florida governor who was once expected to sail to the nomination. In a particularly heated confrontation, Trump accused Bush’s brother – former President George W. Bush – of having lied to the public about the Iraq war.

“Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake,” Trump said.

Bush, who has been among the most aggressive Republican candidates in taking on Trump, said that while he doesn’t mind the real estate mogul criticizing him – “It’s blood sport for him” – he is “sick and tired of him going after my family.”

Trump was jeered lustily by the audience in Greenville, South Carolina, a state where the Bush family is popular with Republicans. George W. Bush plans to campaign with his brother in Charleston Monday, making his first public foray into the 2016 race.

Just six contenders will

take the debate stage, far from the long line of candidates who participated in earlier GOP events. Yet the Republican race remains deeply uncertain, with party elites still hoping that one of the more mainstream candidates will rise up to challenge Trump and Cruz. Many GOP leaders believe both would be unelectable in November.

Candidates used Scalia’s sudden death to raise the stakes for the general election.

Cruz cast the moment in stark terms, saying allowing another Obama nominee to be approved would amount to Republicans giving up control of the Supreme Court for a generation. An uncompromising conservative, Cruz urged voters to consider who among the GOP candidates would nominate the most ideologically pure justices.

Saturday’s debate came one week before South Carolina’s primary. Cruz and Trump emerged from the first two voting contests with a victory apiece and appear positioned to compete for a win in the first Southern primary.

Justice Antonin Scalia dead at 79

Conservative justice’s death leaves Supreme Court split, political battle Major cases heard by or scheduled for Supreme Court

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Antonin Scalia, the influential conservative and most provocative member of the Supreme Court, has died, leaving the high court without its conservative majority and setting up an ideological confrontation over his successor in the maelstrom of a presidential election year. Scalia was 79.

Scalia was found dead Saturday morning at a private residence in the Big Bend area of West Texas, after he had gone to his room the night before and did not appear for breakfast, said Donna Sellers, speaking for the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C. The cause of death was not immediately known. A gray hearse was seen at the entrance to the Cibolo Creek Ranch, near Shafter, on Saturday accompanied by an SUV. President Barack Obama made clear Saturday night he would nominate a successor to Scalia, despite calls from Republicans to leave that choice – and the certain political struggle over it – to the next president. He promised to do so “in due time” while paying tribute to Scalia as “one of the towering legal figures of our time.”

Scalia’s death most immediately means that the justices could be split 4-4 in cases going to the heart of some of the most divisive issues in the nation – over abortion, affirmative action, immigration policy and more.

Scalia was part of a 5-4 conservative majority – with one of the five, Anthony Kennedy, sometimes voting with liberals on the court. In a tie vote, the lower court opinion prevails.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as well as Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, said the nomination should fall to the next president.

Democrats were outraged at that idea, with Sen. Harry Reid, the chamber’s top Democrat, saying it would be “unprecedented in recent history” for the court to have a vacancy for a year.

Leaders in both parties likely were to use the high court vacancy to implore voters to nominate candidates with the best chance of winning in the November general election.

Scalia used his keen intellect and missionary zeal in an unyielding attempt to move the court farther to the right after his 1986 selection by President Ronald Reagan. He also advocated tirelessly in favor of originalism, the method of constitutional interpretation that looks to the meaning of words and concepts as they were understood by

Scalia’s impact on the court was muted by his seeming disregard for moderating his views to help build consensus, although he was held in deep affection by his ideological opposites Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan.

Scalia and Ginsburg shared a love of opera. He persuaded Kagan to join him on hunting trips.

His 2008 opinion for the court in favor of gun rights drew heavily on the history of the Second Amendment and was his crowning moment on the bench.

He could be a strong supporter of privacy in cases involving police searches and defendants’ rights. Indeed, Scalia often said he should be the “poster child” for the criminal defense bar.

But he also voted consistently to let states outlaw abortions, to allow a closer relationship between government and religion, to permit executions and to limit lawsuits.

He was in the court’s majority in the 2000 Bush v. Gore decision, which effectively decided the presidential election for Republican George W. Bush. “Get over it,” Scalia would famously say at speaking engagements in the ensuing years whenever the topic arose.

Bush later named one of Scalia’s sons, Eugene, to an administration job, but the Senate refused to confirm him.

Eugene Scalia served as the Labor Department solicitor temporarily in a recess appointment.

Some of the major cases heard or scheduled to be heard this term by the Supreme Court.

Justice Antonin Scalia’s death casts uncertainty on the court’s term. No rulings have been issued in any of these cases. n VOTING RIGHTS The court heard a case in December about the constitutional requirement to make electoral districts roughly equal in population. Two voters in Texas asked the court to order a drastic change in the way states divide their electoral districts. Rather than basing the maps on total population, including noncitizens and children who aren’t old enough to vote, states must count only people who are eligible to vote, the challengers argue. n AFFIRMATIVE ACTION The court in December weighed whether it was time to end the use of race in college admissions at the University of Texas and nationwide. Justice Elena Kagan sat out the case because she worked on it at an earlier stage when she was at the Justice Department. n CONTRACEPTIVE COVERAGE In a case argued in November, faith-based hospitals, colleges and charities objected to the process the Obama administration had devised to spare them from paying for contraceptives for women covered under their health plans while ensuring that those women can obtain birth control at no extra cost. The groups complain that they remain complicit in making available the contraceptives in violation of their religious beliefs. n UNION FEES The court heard arguments in January in a California case that asks whether government workers who choose not to join a union can still be required to pay fees that cover collective bargaining. Unions fear the potential loss of tens of millions of dollars in fees could reduce their power to bargain for higher wages and benefits for government employees. n ABORTION SERVICES The court planned to hear arguments, probably in March, over a Texas law that would leave only about 10 abortion clinics open across the state. The case tests whether tough new standards for clinics and the doctors who work in them are reasonable measures intended to protect women’s health or a pretext designed to make abortions difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. n IMMIGRATION The court agreed to review whether President Barack Obama, acting without congressional approval, has the power to shield from deportation up to 5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally and make them eligible to work without fear of being rounded up. The case is scheduled to be argued in April. and the piano. He was an enthusiastic singer at court Christmas parties and other musical gatherings, and once appeared on stage with Ginsburg as a Washington Opera extra.

Ginsburg once said that Scalia was “an absolutely charming man, and he can make even the most sober judge laugh.” She said that she urged her friend to tone down his dissenting opinions “because he’ll be more effective if he is not so polemical. I’m not always successful.”

He could be unsparing even with his allies. In 2007, Scalia sided with Chief Justice John Roberts in a decision that gave corporations and labor unions wide latitude to air political ads close to elections. Yet Scalia was upset that the new chief justice’s opinion did not explicitly overturn an earlier decision.

“This faux judicial restraint is judicial obfuscation,” Scalia said.

Quick-witted and loquacious, Scalia was among the most persistent, frequent and quotable interrogators of the lawyers who appeared before the court.

During Scalia’s first argument session as a court member, Justice Lewis F. Powell leaned over and said to a colleague, “Do you think he knows that the rest of us are here?”

Scalia’s writing seemed irrepressible and entertaining much of the time.

But it also could be confrontational. It was a mocking Scalia who in 1993 criticized a decades-old test used by the court to decide whether laws or government policies violated the constitutionally required separation of church and state.

“Like some ghoul in a late-night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad, after being repeatedly killed and buried, (the test) stalks our ... jurisprudence once again, frightening the little children and school attorneys,” he wrote.

Scalia showed a deep commitment to originalism, which he later began calling textualism. Judges had a duty to give the same meaning to the Constitution and laws as they had when they were written.

WASHINGTON – Beginning this summer, a visit to a local Army recruiting office will include a new set of gymnastic tests to help determine what military jobs a recruit is physically capable of performing.

Prospective soldiers will be asked to run, jump, lift a weight and throw a heavy ball – all to help the Army figure out if the recruit can handle a job with high physical demands or should be directed to a more sedentary assignment.

The new tests come as the Pentagon is opening all combat posts to women, a process that involves setting physical standards for every job that both men and women will have to meet.

As part of the effort, the Army will increase the number of female recruiters to better target women. The goal will be to add 1 percent each year for the next three years in order to get at least one woman at each of the Army’s more than 780 larger recruiting centers across the country.

Right now, only about 750 of the

8,800 Army and Army Reserve recruiters are women.

The head of U.S. Army Recruiting Command, Maj. Gen. Jeff Snow, told The Associated Press that adding more women recruiters will give female recruits someone more credible to talk to about options for women in the military and how an Army career could affect married or family life.

But he said getting that increase will be tough because other commands across the Army also are competing to get more women in their units.

As women move into combat roles, Army commanders want to have women in leadership positions across the force to serve as mentors and role models. In particular, Army leaders want more women as drill sergeants and platoon sergeants as recruits go through basic and advanced training.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter in December ordered the military services to allow women to compete for all combat jobs. But he and other military leaders have been adamant that the physical standards for the jobs will not be lowered in order to allow more women to qualify.

MUNICH – Russia’s prime minister accused NATO on Saturday of restarting the Cold War amid increased military maneuvers and troop deployments to countries neighboring Russia, moves the alliance’s top official defended as a necessary response to aggression from Moscow.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told a meeting of top defense officials, diplomats and national leaders that sanc- Dmitry tions imposed after Medvedev Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and new moves by NATO “only aggravate” tensions.

“NATO’s policies related to Russia remain unfriendly and opaque – one could go so far as to say we have slid back to a new Cold War,” Medvedev said. “On almost a daily basis, we’re called one of the most terrible threats either to NATO as a whole, or Europe, or to the United States.”

The comments came after NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told the Munich Security Conference that “Russia’s rhetoric, posture and exercises of its nuclear forces are aimed at intimidating its neighbors, undermining trust and stability in Europe.”

Later, Stoltenberg told The Associated Press in an interview that all of NATO’s moves had been made in response to Russian aggression.

“NATO does not seek confrontation, and we do not want a new Cold War. But we had to respond to the Russian military buildup, which we have seen over several years,” he said. “Not only a military buildup, but the fact that Russia is willing to use military power to change borders in Europe as they have done in Ukraine.”

The annual conference in Munich is one known for frank talk among top officials.

Speaking after Medvedev, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry fired back that Europe and the United States would continue to “stand up to Russia’s repeated aggression.”

OUR VIEW

Get educated about election The March 15 primary is a month away.

Although the race for president will garner a lot of the headlines, there are a number of more important local primary elections happening.

In McHenry County, the primaries take on greater importance because many races contain no Democrats pursuing office. Therefore, winners of the Republican primary almost are guaranteed to win in November because they have no opponent waiting for them – unless Democrats caucus in a candidate.

This primary cycle is no different. There are no Democrats running for countywide offices up for election this year: auditor, circuit clerk, coroner, recorder, state’s attorney or County Board chairman. Only five Democrats are running for County Board, and none in the same district.

On the Republican side, McHenry County Auditor Pam Palmer, McHenry County Circuit Clerk Kathy Keefe and McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski are running for re-election in uncontested primaries, which is a victory for them but a defeat for accountability.

There are GOP contested primaries for County Board chairman, state’s attorney and recorder.

This is the first time the County Board chairman will be elected by popular vote. Incumbent Joe Gottemoller, who was elected chairman by his peers on the board, is facing off against County Board member Michael Walkup, who also is running for re-election of his District 3 County Board seat.

The GOP state’s attorney’s race pits Assistant State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally against former Assistant State’s Attorney Dan Regna. Sitting State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi is not seeking re-election.

For recorder, Republicans Tina Hill, Joni Smith and Joe Tirio are battling to replace the retiring Phyllis Walters.

Want to learn more about these candidates or the candidates running for County Board, state representative, state senator or Congress? We’ve got you covered online at Election Central.

Election Central features candidate biographies, election questionnaires and the stories we’ve published previewing the March primary. It is one-stop shopping for voters looking to educate themselves on the issues and the people running for office.

An informed electorate is important. Elections are your chance to hold the people we put in office accountable for how they spend our tax dollars and the policies they put in place.

Please vote in the March 15 primary, and please learn about the candidates before you do.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Revise Ferguson’s deal with Justice Dept.

The police department of Ferguson, Missouri, needs drastic change.

No one disagrees with this point – not even Ferguson’s elected leaders, which is why federal officials need to work with them to bring it about.

After the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014 in Ferguson, the city and the U.S. Department of Justice entered negotiations to overhaul the department and avoid a federal civil-rights lawsuit.

They reached a tentative deal last month, but last week the Ferguson City Council voted 6-0 to send it back for revisions. In response, the Justice Department has filed its suit, which is counterproductive. The agreement, known as a consent decree, aims to fix a police department and municipal court system that elected officials viewed as a piggy bank.

It includes extensive changes to police policies, training,

recruitment, supervision, data collection, evaluation, civilian oversight and public outreach. It also calls for changes to the city’s municipal code and court, and for officers to wear body cameras. The city already has begun making some of these changes.

One of the main objections of the City Council is a provision mandating pay hikes for police officers. The city is facing a $2.8 million budget shortfall – one fifth of its total budget – largely because it has scaled back the civil fines that had fallen hardest on its African-American population. In addition, under the consent decree, it will have to pay the cost of an outside monitor responsible for ensuring the city abides by the rules.

Those developments alone could necessitate some combination of spending cuts and higher taxes or fees. Mandating raises for police would compound the city’s fiscal problem without

doing anything to heal its racial divisions.

The shooting of Brown – which the federal government itself concluded was not unreasonable – had nothing to do with police salaries. Nor are salaries in Ferguson unusually low; the average is about $48,000, which is similar to what other towns in the county pay. Yes, raising salaries could help recruit higher-caliber candidates of all races, but it’s hard to argue they are the cause of the department’s lack of diversity.

The two sides agree on the most important policy changes that must occur. A lawsuit only will delay their implementation.

The federal government and the city of Ferguson ought to go back to the negotiating table and quickly come to terms. More important than how much Ferguson police officers are paid is how they treat the citizens they serve.

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.

Madigan is a dinosaur

To the Editor: After 45 years in the Legislature and at 73 years old, it’s time for Michael Madigan to retire.

He has contributed nothing to advance the state, only himself and his cronies.

He forgets Gov. Bruce Rauner was elected by the people of the state to correct the financial disaster Illinois is in, which Madigan has provided no help whatsoever.

In the 1980s, the Senate and the House were controlled by Republicans Pate Phillips and Jim Ryan. During that time, issues got resolved, budgets were passed and the state was well respected in the U.S. Under Madigan’s leadership, our state is the laughingstock of the country.

Madigan couldn’t manage a hot dog stand without government subsidy.

Dinosaurs lived in the past, and so is Madigan.

Cowlin an exceptional judge

To the Editor: I have known Judge James Cowlin for 25 years.

VIEWS Cal Thomas as uptight.”

Humanizing fetuses? Just what does that sonogram image show if not a human? It certainly isn’t beer, which also occupied expensive commercial space during the game.

As for “dads and moms,” can one be a dad or mom before a child is born, or only after birth?

If the woman decides to abort the baby, even as he or she emerges from the womb, do the adults instantly revert to their previous status as nondad and non-mom? At what point does society, or feminism, convey parenthood on an adult, or humanness on a baby?

In addition to scientific advances that allow babies to survive at earlier periods of gestation, pro-choicers most fear the sonogram, precisely because it shows an image whose humanness cannot be denied. Having spoken at numerous pregnancy help centers, I have heard many women

He is an exceptional judge and person.

He has the integrity, honesty and legal ability to continue as a circuit judge for McHenry County.

I have tried a lot of cases in McHenry County in front of a number of judges.

Judge Cowlin is one of those judges who may rule against you, but you accept that ruling because you know that he has given great thought, listened to each side and has been fair and well reasoned in his ultimate decision. This is what brings respect to the judicial process.

He has the experience that is essential for a good judge. I strongly support Judge James Cowlin for full circuit judge in McHenry County.

R. Mark Gummerson Woodstock

We need your vote

To the Editor: The numerous candidates for the upcoming elections have aroused many comments. I hope this process also has stirred many people to think, reflect and vote.

The percentage of registered voters in McHenry County who vote is disturbing.

I’ve often thought if a proposal to ban all professional athletes were placed on

thinking of having an abortion testify that seeing a picture of their baby changed their minds.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, “... 13 states require verbal counseling or written materials to include information on accessing ultrasound services. Twenty-five states regulate the provision of ultrasound by abortion providers. Three states mandate an abortion provider perform an ultrasound on each woman seeking an abortion and requires the provider to show and describe the image.

Ten states mandate that an abortion provider perform an ultrasound on each woman seeking an abortion, and require the provider to offer the woman the opportunity to view the image.

Nine states require that a woman be provided with the opportunity to view an ultrasound image if her provider performs the procedure as part of the preparation for an abortion. Six states require that a woman be provided with the opportunity to view an ultrasound image.”

There are laws requiring labels on things we buy at the supermarket, informing us of the amount of calcium, sodium, sugars in each product

– information considered important.

There are laws requiring certain information be given to a person seeking a bank loan, buying a house or car and before surgery.

Showing a pregnant woman a picture of what is growing inside her results in a more informed decision.

Once, in a debate with a prochoice advocate, my opponent said by advocating for mandatory sonograms I was implying women aren’t smart enough to figure these things out on their own.

“Fine,” I responded. “Then remove the labels from bottles and cans, do not provide information about a bank loan, and tear the sticker from the car at the dealership because women should be smart enough to figure these things out on their own.”

If just one pregnant woman contemplating an abortion saw that Doritos commercial and decided to allow her “human” to live, the company, perhaps unwittingly, will have performed a vital service unrelated to the number of chips it sells.

In a day when the most innocuous thing can quickly become political, a Doritos Super Bowl commercial has upset some people who want abortion to be an unrestricted right.

For those taking a bathroom break or watching “Downton Abbey” instead of the football game, here’s the scenario: A pregnant woman is receiving a sonogram in her hospital bed. The screen shows the baby. The father is snacking on Doritos, and he notices the child’s arms moving in the direction of the chip, as dad takes it from the bag and puts it in his mouth.

Finally, the baby can stand it no longer and emerges from the womb to grab his own chip.

It’s funny, and most people took it as a creative way to get attention for the product, which is why advertisers paid up to $5 million for a 30-second ad on TV’s most watched sporting event.

The humor was lost on some. One with a Twitter address @NARAL (for the National Abortion Rights Action League) wrote: “#NotBuyingIt – that @Doritosad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses and sexist tropes of dads as clueless and moms

Local investors eye residential units after demolishing former Wal-Mart

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Having already torn down a building, a group of local investors want to build residential units on the backside of the Crystal Court Shopping Center, one of the few Route 14 commercial centers in Crystal Lake that, for years, has struggled to attract tenants.

For the residential concept to work inside Crystal Court, the plan would need to capitalize on the center’s location to the Three Oaks Recreation Area, an expansive open space with lakes and numerous recreational amenities that borders the southern edge of the center, the investors from McHenry and Lake counties have said.

Residents in the housing units could overlook Three Oaks while living in the heart of a busy commercial corridor in Crystal Lake. Residential units also could provide an economic boost to the smaller retailers scattered throughout the Crystal Court center, said John Green, president of Lynnwood Development Corp. in Cary, who is the project manager working with the investors.

“Because it overlooks the Three Oaks Recreational Area, it’s an ideal place for a residential use, but we really don’t exactly know what shape yet it would take,” Green said. “It could be apartments, condos, independent living. We really don’t know yet.”

The investors have started putting their concept in motion. They acquired one of the anchors within the center – the former Wal-Mart vacant since 2007 – in November for $500,000 and prompt-

A view of a vacant lot where the old Wal-Mart used to be in the Crystal Court Shopping Center in Crystal Lake.

“Because it overlooks the Three Oaks Recreational Area, it’s an ideal place for a residential use, but we really don’t exactly know what shape yet it would take.”

John Green

Lynnwood Development Corp. president ly demolished the 91,124-square-foot building a month later.

Currently fenced off, the vacant lot could house the residential units the investors have eyed for the center, with other redevelopment possibly forthcoming inside Crystal Court.

But Green said his group will proceed slowly with their reinvestment, noting much more work remains to overcome

the center’s historic challenges and turn their idea into reality.

The center’s complex ownership, boxy design, lack of visibility from Route 14 and inability to maintain a commercial anchor long have been identified as the problems holding back Crystal Court. It sports two vacant anchor locations – the now demolished Wal-Mart and an adjacent

64,000-square-foot building that used to house Cub Foods.

Either anchor haven’t seen a tenant since 2007, when Wal-Mart moved from Crystal Court into a shopping center near Route 31 and Rakow Road.

J.C. Penney purchased the former Wal-Mart a few months later in spring 2008 but never redeveloped the property once the economic recession hit.

Green and the other investors bought the property from J.C. Penney.

“We decided before we bought the property there was absolutely no reason to leave that building up longer than necessary,” Green said, adding the former Wal-Mart was blighted with roof and mold issues. “It was an eyesore.”

Green and the other unidentified investors have numerous obstacles to manage before they can present their redevelopment plan to the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission and to the City Council. He said they hope to present a formal plan to the city within the next three to six months.

Various owners control different lots within Crystal Court, requiring negotiations to ensure the owners all agree on the mixed-use concept being put forth by the local investors. Green said they’ve already started meeting with a majority of the owners and, so far, they have support for the idea.

The investors still need to reach the owner who controls the former Cubs Food – the other vacant anchor that could lead to additional residential units or possibly smaller retail units.

Inexpensive items shouldn’t require insurance Dear Dave,

I just bought a new smartphone, and the company I’m with offers insurance for the device. Do you think it would be wise or foolish to do this?

– Lisa

Dear Lisa,

The purpose of insurance is to transfer a risk that you can’t afford to take.

When it comes to things such as cars or houses, I absolutely recommend people have insurance. Most folks couldn’t just write a check for another car if the one they drive were totaled.

It’s the same with a house.

If your home is destroyed, the insurance takes care of things instead of putting you in the position of having to pull tens or hundreds of

Those Valentine’s Day flowers might just be from Kenya

By ILYA GRIDNEFF

The Associated Press

NYAHURURU, Kenya – This Valentine’s Day, there’s a good chance your flowers came from Kenya.

“I know the flowers are for giving on Valentine’s Day,” said Phanice Cherop, a worker at a flower farm in Kenya.

“They are very beautiful.”

On a crisp February morning, Cherop squeezed through a row of shoulder-high white roses, cut a flower and methodically placed it in the bunch she carried. The Kenyan-grown flower likely was headed for a vase in Australia, England, Japan or the U.S. Kenya’s cool climate and high altitude make it perfect for growing large, long-lasting roses. Such conditions have helped make Kenya become the world’s fourth-biggest supplier after the Netherlands, Ecuador and Colombia.

Cherop, a 29-year-old single mother of two, works at AAA Growers’ Simba farm in Nyahururu, four hours’ drive north of the capital, Nairobi. It’s the one of company’s four 50-acre farms that make them Kenya’s third-largest grower of vegetables and flowers combined.

Cherop was one of 600 workers bused in from surrounding villages to pick or pack thousands of roses to be sent around the world ahead of Feb. 14.

Flowers are intricately tied to the global economy. When it collapsed in 2008, the cut-flower trade lost $1.5 billion the following year. In 2013, global exports of cut flowers, cut foliage, living plants and flower bulbs amounted to $20.6 billion, more than twice the amount in 2001. International events, including Russia’s war in Ukraine and plummeting oil prices, have shaped

Workers store roses in a refrigerated storeroom ahead of Valentine’s Day at the AAA Growers farm in Nyahururu, Kenya. flower fortunes for numerous Kenyan farms. Sales to oil-producing nations, such as Norway and those in the Middle East, have dropped because of their reduced spending power, said Britain-born Andrew Mules, general manager of AAA Growers’ Simba farm.

“Up until two years ago, flowers would have been the most profitable part of the farm,” he said. “Now it is our third after soft fruit and then vegetable crops.”

Kenya is the sixth-largest flower exporter to the U.S., according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. As east Africa’s agricultural powerhouse, Kenya supplies the European Union with 38 percent of its cut-flower imports, partly because of a tax-exemption trade agreement.

Mr. Mules, who farmed in Zimbabwe

before being evicted under President Robert Mugabe’s land reforms, said prolonged rains because of the El Nino weather pattern have pressured the company’s bottom line.

“The timing of Valentine’s Day is perfect for Kenya because it falls in the dry season,” he said. “Unfortunately, this year, due to el Nino, it has lengthened the so called ‘short rains.’ Instead of stopping in November we were getting rain in January.”

Another lament is about Russia.

In 2012, flower exports to Russia, the world’s fifth-largest flower importer, began shrinking because of its tanking economy and depreciating ruble. Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2014 only “worsened the situation,” said Cindy van Rijswick, a fruit, vegetables and floriculture analyst at Dutch bank

Rabobank.

“A more indirect effect is that, because of the declining cut-flowers exports to Russia, these flowers are supplied to other markets, which causes pressure on prices,” she said.

Dana Malaskova, AAA Growers’ commercial manager, said that up until September 2014, the company was sending a quarter of their flowers to Russia, with a steady 5 percent annual growth; now the volume has shrunk to 5 percent of the total.

The drop in Russian demand isn’t translating into a drop of the price of a bouquet this Valentine’s Day, said Neville Ratemo, a director at Kenya’s Horticultural Council.

“There is always a big volume at this time of year and people will always be buying roses, so the price goes up,” he said.

The Kenya Flower Council said exports rose from 86,480 tons in 2006 to 136,601 tons in 2014. Kenya’s flower business continues to employ half a million Kenyans and earned more than half a billion dollars last year, according to government statistics.

In the temperature-controlled storeroom of AAA Growers’ warehouse, stacks of cardboard boxes bound for Canada, Australia, the U.S. and France are the end point to the process that started with workers like Cherop.

Cherop, who earns Kenya’s rural minimum wage of $80 a month, said the arduous manual work is a necessity to feed her family. Giggling, she admits, after a bit of prodding, that she’s never received flowers.

“We do not really do this here in Kenya,” she said. “No man has ever given me. I would like some.”

Questions grow over banks as profit warnings pile up

Continued from page 45 “We think that building is important for the redevelopment plans for the center,” Green said. “We hope that property is a part of it, whether we own it or we work with the existing owner.”

The investors’ idea somewhat mirrors a general concept plan devised by city officials in 2009.

Crystal Lake at the time hired architects to gauge possible redevelopment options for the struggling shopping center. Officials eventually came away with a mixed-use idea combining residential units and additional retail outlets, along with new access roads that would lead mo-

torists through the center and into the Three Oaks Recreation Area, said Community Development Director Michelle Rentzsch.

Developers responded well to the idea, but nothing ever materialized once the economy soured. Years later, the city now looks forward to working with this group of investors even though officials have yet to see plans, she said.

“A residential component, as part of a mixed-use redevelopment, makes sense next to the recreation area and helps to further support the strong mix of national and local retailers that thrive along the Route 14 corridor,” Rentzsch said. “The city is open to any redevelopment plan that make sense for this well-positioned property.”

Congress bans import of forced labor products

By MARTHA MENDOZA The Associated Press

A bill headed for President Barack Obama this week includes a provision that would ban U.S. imports of fish caught by slaves in Southeast Asia, gold mined by children in Africa and garments sewn by abused women in Bangladesh, closing a loophole in an 85-year-old tariff law that has failed to keep products of forced and child labor out of America.

An expose by The Associated Press last year found Thai companies ship seafood to the U.S. that was caught and processed by trapped and enslaved workers. AP tracked fish and shrimp from people locked in cages and factories to supply chains of top retailers and restaurants, from supermarket chains such as WalMart and Whole Foods to restaurants including Red Lobster.

The companies all said they strongly condemn labor abuse and are taking steps to prevent it.

As a result of the reports, more than 2,000 trapped fishermen have been freed, more than a dozen alleged traffickers arrested and millions of dollars worth of seafood and vessels seized. Thai Union, one of the world’s biggest seafood exporters, said it has hired 1,200 workers from outsourced shrimp processing sheds into safer, more closely regulated in-house jobs with decent pay.

On Capitol Hill, the AP investiga-

tion, along with other news reports and political advocacy, helped pressure lawmakers “to finally strike this obscene provision of U.S. law,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon democrat.

“It’s an outrage this loophole persisted for so long. No product made by people held against their will, or by children, should ever be imported to the United States,” he said.

The change is part of a wide-ranging bill, which revamps trade laws and bars Internet taxes, passed on a vote of 75-20 by the Senate Thursday.

Obama is expected to sign it.

The U.S. Tariff Act of 1930 gave Customs and Border Protection the authority to seize shipments where forced labor is suspected and block further imports.

However, it has been used only 39 times in 85 years in large part because of an exemption that said goods made by children, prisoners or slaves can be allowed into the U.S. if consumer demand cannot be met without them. Drafted during the Depression, lawmakers at the time placed economic need over foreign labor rights, according to legal historians.

If signed by President Obama, imports of a Labor Department list of more than 350 goods produced by child or forced labor – cotton from Kazakhstan, wheat from Pakistan, lobsters from Honduras – may now face federal law enforcement.

PARIS – Questions are growing over the financial health of banks, particularly in Europe and the U.S., as they face a toxic mix of low economic growth, bad loans and squeezed earnings.

France’s Societe Generale became Thursday the latest bank to issue a confidence-shattering profit warning, which helped trigger a new selloff in financial stocks. The bank saw its share price stumble 12 percent and major rivals like Deutsche Bank and UniCredit saw losses of nearly 10 percent.

European banks are not the only ones to suffer. Japanese bank Mitsubishi Financial fell 7 percent on Thursday. In the U.S., Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Bank of America are down more than 30 percent so far this year.

Among the top concerns is the global economy will weaken more than expected, souring some of the loans that banks have issued to companies around the world – particularly in distressed sectors like the energy industry.

U.S. banks have tens of billions of exposure to loans made to energy companies, who have found themselves unable to pay back their debts because of low energy prices.

Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, said the latest weakness in bank stocks stems from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen “warning on current financial market turbulence and suggesting further rate hikes could be delayed, which added to already raised anxiety about the health of the global economy.”

On Wednesday, Yellen cautioned global weakness and falling financial markets could depress the U.S. economy’s growth and slow the pace of Fed interest rate hikes.

That’s a particular concern as the U.S. economy has been one of the few bright spots in the global economy, which is seeing a slowdown in China and stagnation in Japan and Europe.

The slowing of interest rate increases in the U.S. is also bad news for the big banks, which have been waiting anxiously for interest rates to rise. Since the financial crisis, the big banks have largely grown profits by cutting costs. Higher interest rates would mean banks could charge more for their loans.

The fact that many central banks keep cutting interest rates, pushing down market lending rates, is further hurting banks by squeezing their profits. Banks mainly make money by lending, so as rates drop, so do earnings.

Investors made big bets in the second half of last year that interest rates would rise in the U.S., so to see that bet fail has forced investors to dump bank shares.

The situation is worsened in some regions, particularly the eurozone and Japan, where the central banks charge commercial banks to deposit money with them.

Analysts at Capital Economics said that if the European Central Bank cuts one of its key interest rates further below zero, “this could have adverse effects on banks’ profitability.”

In some markets, bad loans are already piling up – or have not been dealt with effectively since the global financial crisis.

Newlyweds who took things slow love their life together Dear Abby: I am a 34-year-old male who reads your column regularly. I usually see people asking for advice about their concerns, so I figured I would send you something different.

We are totally loving being together. –

Louisville Lover Dear Lover: I wish you and your

wife many, many more happy years together. Thank you for an upper of a letter. I can’t think of a more appropriate message to print on Valentine’s Day. Dear Abby: I belong to a gym that is wonderful. It has great facilities and extensive services included in the fee that encourage lots of family activities. Among the facilities are family changing rooms, which rarely are

used. Because of this, I am reduced to a Monday-to-Friday schedule because on weekends many fathers bring their little girls into the male changing room (infants to 4 years of age).

Today, I gave it a shot and went to the gym only to encounter a dad and daughter in the male changing room, buck naked. Is this the new normal, Abby? – Not A Dad In Baltimore Dear Not A Dad: Whether it’s the new normal is beside the point. If you prefer not to encounter a child of the opposite sex in the men’s changing room, you should discuss this with the manager of the gym or change at home.

Dear Abby: I’m puzzled. When was Valentine’s Day designated as a day for females only? I have always been under the impression Feb. 14 is a day of love. I sent my late husband flowers at work one year, and when the delivery man arrived at his office,

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

the women all rushed over to the door only to find out they were for him. My husband told me that from the look on their faces they were astonished.

Perhaps you should remind women to spoil their men on Valentine’s Day and not just expect something from them. The guys need love, too. –

Loving Wife In Georgia Dear Loving Wife: I agree that

Valentine’s Day should be celebrated on an equal basis. Couples who last are those who make an effort to show each other they love each other every day.

Dear Readers: I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Valentine’s Day. I deeply appreciate the relationship I have with all of you. – Love, Abby

WRESTLING: CLASS 3A BARRINGTON SECTIONAL

Huntley, Jacobs lead way Teams combine for 7 of 10 local state qualifiers

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

From Twitter @OladipoLere

Tweet from last night Blessed to say that I’ve received my 2nd division 1 offer from Central Michigan University – @OladipoLere (Huntley junior DE Olalere Oladipo, whose first football scholarship offer was from Illinois) Follow our writers on Twitter: Joe Stevenson – @NWH_JoePrepZone Mike DeFabo – @MikeDeFabo Jon Styf – @jonstyf

What to watch NBA All-Star Game, 7:30 p.m., TNT Pau Gasol will represent the Bulls for the Eastern Conference against the Western Conference in Toronto.

Another Tweet Thanks to everyone for the support.

Started to get dizzy and called it at 25K. Incredible job to EVERYONE that crossed that line! Good news is I don’t have to take my Vitamin D today. – @DJKremske (Woodstock grad Dan Kremske, one of 3 area runners at the U.S. Olympic Trials marathon on Saturday)

Other locals Harvard grad Lauren Fog was 104th in the women’s U.S. Olympic Trials in marathon in 2:55:28, and Crystal Lake South grad Kristina Aubert ran but was not listed among Saturday’s finishers.

BARRINGTON – The look on Michael Bujacz’s face was one of complete astonishment. After the referee had raised his hand in victory, the Jacobs senior looked toward the stands with his mouth agape and his arms in a frozen shrug of disbelief.

Bujacz had been struggling early in his Class 3A Barrington Sectional consolation semifinal, down 6-1, until out of nowhere he flipped Harlem’s Jenner Hecox (ranked No. 5 in Class 3A by illinoismatmen.com) into a first-round pin. The victory sent Bujacz into the third-place match and more importantly clinched a place at the state tournament starting Thursday in Champaign.

He was one of 10 local wrestlers who qualified for state from Saturday’s Barrington Sectional, led by four from Huntley and three from Jacobs.

Two locals – Huntley’s Josh Stenger (120) and Dundee-Crown’s Christian Brunner (195) – won sectional titles.

For a long time after his match, Bujacz still was shaking his head.

“I have no idea. I honestly don’t know,” Bujacz said. “I wanted to roll him because I thought maybe it would work, but I didn’t really think so. But then it actually happened and I’m like, ‘No way, he’s on his back?’ And I heard my coach saying, ‘Come on, squeeze, pin him, hold him,’ and I’m like, ‘OK I’m trying,’ and before I knew it the ref blew the whistle, hit the mat and I’m like, ‘No way, did I just pin him?’

“I honestly didn’t think I was going to wrestle back all the way and make it to state. I didn’t even expect to win my first match today, but then before my match I was just thinking this is the last chance I have, I’m a senior. It’s either win or lose, win go to state, lose season over, and I’m so happy that I won. Like, wow, I just don’t even believe it.”

After missing out completely on state last year, Jacobs not only will be represented by Bujacz (third at 195), but also

by Dean Lane (third at 160) and Jack Golnick (third at 220).

“It’s outstanding. This was a goal coming into the season,” Golnick said.

“After going down watching all those years when I was a little kid, it’s really great to finally be able to wrestle in the

Huntley had the best showing of local teams and will send four wrestlers for the second year in a row. Zach Spencer (second at 113), Stenger (champion at 120), Petros Mihalopoulos (second at 195) all got in with championship semifinal wins, while Dominic Swanson (third at 285) had to go through a consolation semifinal.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun there,” Mihalopoulos said. “We’re going to wrestle our butts off, and we’ll see where it goes from there.”

Also earning berths to state were McHenry’s Lucas Busse (fourth at 120), Cary-Grove’s John Cullen (third at 138) and D-C’s Brunner (champion at 195).

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Woodstock senior Kevin Zange was knocked out of wrestling last season with an injury and got a late start after surgery on his right shoulder, but Zange beat Carmel’s Nathaniel Morris, 3-2, then lay on the mat and looked at coach John Grell and smiled with both index fingers in the air.

3. “I knew basic shots wouldn’t work, so I had to pull something out. It’s just something nobody expects, especially at my weight.”

Parks was one of 30 local wrestlers to qualify for next week’s state meet at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

Central’s Lenny and Michael Petersen (138 and 145) also won sectional titles.

Prairie Ridge also had three section-

al champs in Travis Piotrowski (126), Luke Silva (132) and Dereck Pearson (285). Woodstock’s Kevin Zange (160) and Nick Sundberg (182) and Marian Central’s Thomas Welch (170) were other local sectional champions.

Central coach Justen Lehr just smiled at Parks’ unorthodox move.

Parks said he works on it when the Tigers have “goof-off” practice days.

“Coaches really don’t teach that,” Lehr said, smiling. “We don’t say, ‘You should try that while you’re warming up.’ If you want to be good, you have to sell out. That was a big one for us because we bumped him up to 200 and he’s really about 190.”

Piotrowski (36-0) remained on his course toward a state championship with a 7-0 victory over Antioch’s Nathan Dlugopolski for the 126-pound title.

“I’m right where I want to be at,” said Piotrowski, who was third at 120 pounds in Class 2A last year at state.

“I’m pushing myself every day as hard as I can. [A state title] is exactly what I want. Nothing’s going to stop me from wanting to achieve that.”

Right after Piotrowski won, Silva defeated Marian Central’s Anthony Randazzo, 10-3, avenging an earlier loss.

“I just didn’t get to my offense as well [against Randazzo before],” Silva said.

“It feels great. I’m very happy, but at

the same time there’s a lot of work to be done.”

The Petersen brothers were next, with Lenny edging Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton, 6-4, in overtime. That was a rematch of last week’s Harvard Regional 138 championship, which Petersen won, 7-2. Petersen expects to see Sutton again next week.

“I had to keep up my pace and beat him with new moves and technique,” Petersen said. “I think he’ll be on the other side [of the bracket], but he’s good enough to be with me in the finals at state. I could see him there again.”

Michael Petersen went 6 for 6 in pins through the regional and sectional.

“I feel like I’m peaking, it’s really important to have that right now before the state tournament,” he said.

Zange knocked off previously unbeaten Nathaniel Morris of Carmel, 3-2, for the 160 title.

“I still feel awesome right now,” Zange said. “I don’t think I’ve ever beaten an unbeaten kid this year. It feels great.”

Sundberg is headed back to state after missing last season with impetigo, a skin rash. Pearson was an offensive lineman on Prairie Ridge’s Class 6A playoff semifinal football team and now will finish his wrestling season at the state meet.

Harold Ogaban on winning Newcomer of the Year as a freshman: “Winning the newcomer of the year is something I wanted since I was a little kid.”

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – Cary-Grove coop boys swimming coach Rick Schaefer hasn’t had much to stress about in his five years at the helm. Five years, five Fox Valley Conference swimming championships. In 2015-16, another perfect dual record.

One of his few concerns, however, was just making sure the Trojans remained a program, as it was almost eliminated several years back.

“You gotta understand from where the team came from years ago,” Schaefer said. “It was really close to not existing anymore. We’ve done a really good job building up a program, and to see it continue today, it’s really special.”

Behind three relay and three individual titles, the Trojans recorded 373 points and claimed their ninth consecutive FVC title Saturday at Woodstock

North High School. McHenry was second with 305 points.

“For me, it was a lot more special being my senior year,” said the Trojans’ Cooper Langanis, who won the 500-yard freestyle and was a part of two winning relay teams. “It was just a really fun meet. We had some good swims against McHenry, some close relays, which made it feel more special.”

Teammate and sophomore Nick Jasinski had two victories, setting a conference meet record in the 100 backstroke and as part of the 200 medley relay. “[This year] was kind of different because we have a lot of seniors,” Jasinski said. “It was kind of sad but fun at the same time.”

Junior Ethan Hare won the 200 individual medley, while Omid Babakhani, Corey Sheehan and Scott Eibel were part of two first-place relay units in the 200 medley and 400 freestyle.

McHenry got wins from seniors Trey Schopen, who took home individual titles in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly, and Kevin Braun, who took the 100 freestyle in record-breaking fashion. The two were named the FVC’s co-MVPs. “I was nervous coming into the 200 because Cooper’s great, and I knew it would be a close race,” said Schopen, whose early victories kept the Warriors in the hunt.

Braun’s time (47 seconds) broke a 10-year-old mark set by Woodstock’s Brendan Dougherty (0:47.38) in 2006.

Jacobs co-op freshman Harold Ogaban (1:04.32) won the team’s only title in the 100 breaststroke. Jacobs finished third with 261 points. Ogaban was recognized as the FVC’s Newcomer of the Year.

Woodstock’s (91 points) highest finisher was its 200 medley relay team, which took fifth. Grayslake North’s Max Haubrich took third in the 100 butterfly.

ANTIOCH – Desperation spawned creativity for Crystal Lake Central 220-pound wrestler Austin Parks.

Parks trailed Ridgewood’s Vinny Scaletta by two points as precious seconds ticked down in their championship match at the Class 2A Antioch Sectional. Parks had tried to shoot Scaletta and grab him low, but to no avail.

Parks reached deep into his repertoire and went high instead, utilizing a move made famous by Olympic wrestler Ellis Coleman, called the “Flying Squirrel.”

As Parks jumped over the unsuspecting Scaletta, he grabbed whatever he could, which happened to be a foot, and managed to score a takedown and force overtime. A few seconds into overtime, Parks scored another takedown for an 8-6 victory and the Tigers’ third individual title of the day. “[The Flying Squirrel] has been deep in my arsenal. I’ve only pulled it out a couple times,” said Parks, who is 36-

Marsden close to 100 wrestling wins With 10 ranked teams on its schedule, there are few breaks for Oklahoma State’s wrestling team.

The Cowboys, ranked fourth nationally, are used to facing high-level competition.

For athletes such as senior Austin Marsden, those high-profile matches are a welcome challenge.

“I like them Austin because of the great Marsden competition and because the atmosphere is always good,” he said.

Marsden, a Crystal Lake Central graduate, has thrived all season, earning a No. 5 national ranking in the 285-pound class.

At 21-1 this season, Marsden is three wins shy of reaching 100 for his career and he is on a 14-match winning streak.

“My training is going very well right now,” said Marsden, who is 5-1

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino against ranked opponents. “I’m just getting back into the groove with my offense, using it in matches and attacking more. I feel like my offense has been a lot better.”

After placing eighth nationally and earning his first All-America honor in 2014, Marsden did not make the podium last season despite a 27-4 record.

“It was very disappointing,” he said. “It motivates me and makes me want to earn every win to reach my goal.”

The only goal for Marsden? A national championship.

“That alone,” he said.

Marsden hasn’t been alone when it comes to training this season. For the first time since wrestling as youths with the Crystal Lake Wizards, Marsden and his younger brother,

freshman 197-pounder Andrew, are teammates.

“We were never on a middle school or a high school team together,” Austin said. “It’s really nice to have him around.”

Andrew is 15-7 this season and had his redshirt pulled Jan. 1 by Cowboys coach John Smith.

“It’s usually just me and him pushing each other, making sure we both get our jobs done in the room and getting ready to compete,” Austin said.

Winning at Benedictine: Huntley grad Zach Gorney has played in 17 games – one short of his career high – off the bench this season for the undefeated D-III Benedictine University men’s basketball team.

A sophomore guard for the Eagles, Gorney is averaging 1.8 points for the Eagles, who are ranked No. 2 in the nation. On Tuesday night on campus in Lisle, Benedictine (23-0) beat Concordia Chicago, 111-59, to tie a school record for wins in a season.

While extending their conference

record to 18-0, the Eagles clinched the outright title in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference.

Economos shines for Panthers:

Junior forward Michael Economos (Crystal Lake Central) has a team-leading 10 goals this season for Plymouth (New Hampshire) State University’s men’s hockey team.

The Panthers (16-3-1) are in first place in the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference standings with an 11-1-1 record.

Economos also ranks third on the team with 18 points, thanks to his eight assists this season.

He had a goal and an assist Feb. 6 in a 4-2 victory against Massachusetts-Dartmouth for the Panthers’ fourth consecutive win.

Hampshire’s Allen brothers, A-H’s Cashmore make state NORTHWEST HERALD

Hampshire wrestlers Wylie Allen and Casey Allen, who are brothers, advanced Saturday to the state meet from the Class 2A Washington Sectional.

Wylie Allen took home the sectional title at 152 pounds for the Whip-Purs.

Wylie won his semifinal match and the

championship match by one-point decisions. He defeated Collin Groleau of LaSalle-Peru, 4-3, in the semifinal and then beat George Strang of Kaneland, 3-2, for the title.

Casey Allen (132) will join Wylie at state after he took third place at the sectional. Casey lost in the semifinals and was forced to win a consolation semifi-

nal in order to advance to state. Casey won that, then came back to defeat Joey Schloegel of Lincoln-Way West, 3-0, for the third-place finish.

Class 1A Princeton Sectional: At Princeton, Alden-Hebron’s Colten Cashmore was the lone Giant to advance to state out of the sectional. Cashmore lost in his quarterfinal match Friday and had to go

through wrestlebacks Saturday in order to advance. Cashmore won four matches Saturday to finish in third place at 170 pounds.

Cashmore defeated Tyler Meyers of Rock Falls, 9-2, in the third-place match.

Cashmore’s teammate Josh Johnson lost by pin in the consolation semifinals, ending his chance at advancing to state.

DUCKS 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 (OT)

Ducks goalie John Gibson makes a save against the Blackhawks’ Richard Panik during the second period Saturday at the United Center.

He’s a fixture on the Hawks’ top line, power play and penalty kill, and has been one of the top defensive forwards in the league for years.

Quenneville called the Lindholm check “on the borderline.”

“Not much you can say about those hip checks,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said. “I think they’re always risky. A guy takes a hit low like that, if your skate gets caught in a rut or can’t quite give out the way you want it to, something’s got to give there. More often than not, it doesn’t end well.”

The Hawks lost on Ryan Getzlaf’s

power-play goal at 2:16 of the extra session. All three meetings between the 2015 Western Conference finalists went to overtime. This was the Hawks’ third straight loss at home, though the point kept them in a first-place tie with Dallas (which has three games in hand).

“We’ll take a point tonight,” Quenneville said. “I don’t think we deserved a point, but we’ll take it.”

For a while, the game looked an awful lot like the last time these teams met, when the Hawks won 1-0 in overtime. It took more than 35 minutes for somebody to finally score, as Brent Seabrook fol-

lowed his own shot for a power-play goal shortly after the Hossa injury. The play that drew the penalty – Richard Panik, in for Hossa, crashing the net hard and drawing a hooking penalty – eventually led to Ducks goalie John Gibson leaving the game after the period with an upper-body injury.

The Ducks tied it early in the third period during 4-on-4 play, with Jakob Silfverberg jamming the puck in from the goalmouth. Less than four minutes later, Getzlaf made a quick pass out of the corner to David Perron, who fired it past Corey Crawford for a 2-1 lead.

Ex-Hawk Garbutt finds success with Ducks

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Ryan Garbutt always was a strange fit for the Blackhawks, a team that favors skill over grit, speed over physical play – and a team that already had an effective agitator in Andrew Shaw, anyway.

The Anaheim Ducks? Now that’s more Garbutt’s style. And in his first eight games with the Ducks since he was traded for Jiri Sekac, Garbutt scored three goals – one more than he had in 43 games with the Hawks.

“I think it’s been a good fit, for sure,” Garbutt said. “Maybe a little bit more my style. ... It’s a fun team

to play for.”

Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau has liked what he’s seen, especially considering what he knew about Garbutt from his days in Dallas, when Garbutt occasionally played with too much of an edge.

“I told him not to Ryan Garbutt cross the line,” Boudreau said. “I said we don’t need him to go around and do stupid stuff. He’s a good enough player. When that line in Dallas, of him, (Antoine) Roussel and (Cody) Eakin were playing, they were a very hard line to play against.

It only got in trouble [when] both him and Roussel would start to go over the edge. So, he hasn’t gone over the edge yet and that’s good.”

Garbutt was caught off guard by the trade, which came when the Hawks were on a 12-game winning streak. The Ducks then won the first five games Garbutt played in, pushing his own winning streak to a whopping 17 games.

“I thought we had a really good team and I was contributing in a fourth-line role that wasn’t producing much offensively,” Garbutt said. “But on a team with that much firepower on the first two lines, you didn’t need to as much. I don’t think it was a [mat-

ter] of not fitting in. It was just maybe a good trade for both teams.”

So far, it has worked out better for the Ducks than the Hawks, as Sekac hasn’t yet found a permanent spot in the lineup. From the Hawks perspective, it was as much a salary-cap move as a hockey move – Garbutt is signed through next season, Sekac is not.

But, like Garbutt, Sekac’s new team suits him better than his old team. So both sides hope it pays off in the long run “This team is very skilled and offensively minded,” Sekac said. “Everybody would love to play on a team like this.”

CHICAGO – The lack of depth scoring, the lackluster efforts in home games, the sluggish starts of late – all those quibbling concerns that have troubled the Blackhawks recently looked awfully minor late in the second period Saturday night when Marian Hossa lay crumpled on the ice in the corner, writhing in pain.

A Hampus Lindholm hip check sent Hossa tumbling into the boards, where his left leg appeared to get jammed. Hossa was slow to get up, and was putting little, if any, weight on the leg as he was helped off the ice and back to the dressing room. He did not return.

“We’ll probably know more [Sunday],” coach Joel Quenneville said after the Hawks lost, 3-2, in overtime to the Anaheim Ducks, their third loss in as many home games. “We don’t think it’s serious, but he could miss some time.”

When asked whether Hossa could be out weeks, Quenneville said, “Could be stretching it on weeks. Not that long.”

For the record, the NHL trade deadline is on Feb. 29, 15 days away. Last season, Patrick Kane’s broken collarbone suffered shortly before the trade deadline allowed the Hawks to put him on long-term injured reserve, freeing up enough cap space to acquire Antoine Vermette, because the cap is turned off in the playoffs. Since it sounds as if Hossa won’t come anywhere close to missing the rest of the regular season as Kane did, it’s unlikely the scenario plays out again.

Hossa, an irreplaceable two-way threat even in a down offensive year, is four goals shy of No. 500 for his career.

6 NBA ALL-STAR SATURDAY

LaVine soars to repeat dunk title

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

TORONTO – Aaron Gordon soared over his mascot, but nobody flies higher than Zach LaVine in the slam dunk contest.

LaVine was perfect just a little longer than Gordon and won a thrilling final event to cap an entertaining NBA All-Star Saturday. LaVine captured his second straight dunk title – and a second trophy in two nights.

“I had to bring my A-plus-plus-plus game,” LaVine said.

“He did two dunks that were just crazy with the mascots, jumping over them. We just kept pushing each other until the last dunk.”

The 3-point crown stayed by the Bay – although with the other “Splash Brother.” Klay Thompson pulled off a smooth-shooting surprise by beating Warriors teammate Stephen Curry.

“Back-to-back years for Splash Brothers, it’s pretty cool,” Thompson said.

All-Star weekend so far has belonged to LaVine and the Minnesota Timberwolves, as rookie Karl-Anthony Towns showed big guys have skills, too.

The night – and the first two nights of this first All-Star weekend held outside the U.S. – ended with a celebration for LaVine, who won the MVP award in Friday night in the Rising Stars Challenge for rookies and second-year players.

The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Zach LaVine glides toward the basket during the NBA AllStar dunk contest Saturday in Toronto.

He outlasted Gordon in a duel that needed two overtimes and ended only when there was literally no ball to use.

Curry batted it down to other end of the court after he and the other NBA stars who were as captivated as the fans and celebrities sitting courtside charged onto the court when LaVine leaped from just inside the free throw line, put the ball between his legs in midair and slammed it down.

He and Gordon traded perfect scores of 50 for the previous few rounds after

advancing to the final, but the Orlando Magic rookie mustered only a 47 in his last attempt.

But he may have had the most memorable dunks of the night with some help from the Magic’s mascot – aptly named Stuff the Magic Dragon.

On Stuff’s first assist, Gordon took the ball with one hand from the mascot, who was spinning around on a hoverboard, and did a 360-degree dunk.

He got another assist from Stuff on the next one, leaping high to take the ball,

putting it under his legs – almost in a sitting position in midair – and slamming it down with his left hand.

“Me and him are now like best friends, me and Stuff,” Gordon said.

The only boos went to the judges, with the crowd thinking Shaquille O’Neal was a little stingy with a couple of 9s instead of perfect 10s.

“We were kind of mind-boggled a couple times because we got 49s and they were 50s,” LaVine said.

A night that included an appearance by boxing ring announcer Michael Buffer ended with a couple of heavyweight matchups. LaVine became the first repeat dunk champion since Nate Robinson, but Curry wasn’t even the best on his own team after setting a final-round record last year.

This time, Thompson was so good he had clinched it even before the final ball on his final rack. He started to walk away after making the first four – then turned and made that one, anyway.

“He definitely shot well tonight,” Curry said. “I still think I can hold my own in the competition, but the way that he finished off that second round was amazing. So trust me, the pressure of knowing what number he had to hit and making five out of five was fun to watch.”

Towns beat Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas to win the Skills Challenge, further validating the evolution of the big man from a plodding post player to a playmaking force.

BULLS

Gasol gladly cancels vacation for All-Star pick

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com Some vacations are worth canceling. That’s the situation Bulls big man Pau Gasol found himself in last week.

He originally thought he would be taking part in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday in Toronto, but he fell 300plus fan votes short of making the Eastern Conference’s starting lineup and wasn’t selected as a reserve by the coaches.

So what’s an NBA player to do with all that downtime? Take a road trip.

“I would have embraced the rest, as well,” Gasol, 35, said. “When I wasn’t selected to be a starter and I wasn’t selected to be a reserve by the coaches, I was disappointed at first. But then I was really embracing it. I was putting

a really nice trip together.”

Those plans had to be scuttled, however, when teammate Jimmy Butler suffered a strained left knee Feb. 5 and was forced off the All-Star roster. Gasol was selected to replace him.

So where was Gasol going to go on vacation?

“Oh, I’m not going Pau Gasol to tell you,” he said.

“But somewhere nice, somewhere nice. I was really looking forward to it because I think it was going to be good for me to face the second half of the season, to refresh, to regroup and to recharge, keep going.

“The good news is that I’ll be participating in All-Star weekend, and being

an All-Star is a recognition; it’s an honor I’m proud of. So I’ll also embrace that opportunity.”

Gasol, who is averaging 17 points and 10.9 rebounds, will be making his sixth All-Star appearance. He also will join Artis Gilmore (1978, 1979, 1981, 1982) and Joakim Noah (2013, 2014) as the only centers in Bulls history to play in All-Star games in consecutive seasons.

“I’m sorry Jimmy can’t make it,” Gasol said. “He’s already made [the All-Star team last season], but I wish he could play and be healthy and be playing at the game because he deserves it.

He’s having an incredible year, and he should be recognized for it.

“But the good news is they picked me to replace him, so I’m proud and honored to be in the All-Star Game

again and replace my teammate. I think it’s an honor to be there anyway, but it’s an honor to replace a guy that’s having such a great year, as Jimmy is.”

What really matters to Gasol, however, is where Butler will be in a few weeks. The injury might keep Butler out until early March, and that isn’t good news for a team that’s sinking in the playoff race.

“Luckily, it’s only three to four weeks,” Gasol said of the injury. “It will give us a chance to kind of figure things out with Jimmy out. At the same time, we look forward to having him back. He’s an important, huge piece of our team.

“But it gives guys an opportunity to step up and show that they can play and gain some confidence.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NORTHWESTERN 58, ILLINOIS 56

ished with seven points and five turnovers to go with 13 rebounds and eight assists. And he got called out by coach John Groce for the final play.

“He’s got to stay on his feet,” Groce said. “I’m not picking on him. I love him. I’ve got to work with him a little bit more. I’ll take responsibility. It’s my responsibility and his responsibility to make sure we get one up on the rim. It might not go in. They don’t all go in, but we’ve got to get one up on the rim. That’s the bottom line.”

On the play, Nunn inbounded the ball along the baseline to Hill, who got tripped up as time expired after he caught the pass.

“Plan was to attack right, attack to the basket, get a good shot up,” Hill said. “I tripped over his foot and fell. It [stinks] because we didn’t really get a shot up. I feel bad for that, but things happen.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS 80, AKRON 79

Huskies snap 5-game skid in dramatic fashion

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The NIU Convocation Center was silent as Aaric Armstead went to the line to shoot his second free throw.

With less than two seconds left in a tied game, the biggest home crowd of the season erupted after the Northern Illinois junior guard sank the free throw to give the Huskies a dramatic 80-79 win over Akron on Saturday night.

“Just be calm, don’t panic – situations like that, people have a tendency to get riled up and be too emotional,” said Armstead, who scored 21 points, grabbed eight rebounds and came up with seven critical points in the final 2:20 of the game. “Once you’re put in that situation before – probably not in my college basketball career have I been in that situation, but AAU basketball and high school basketball – it prepared me for that.”

The win snaps a five-game losing streak for the Huskies, who improved to 17-8 overall and 6-6 in the Mid-Amer-

ican Conference West, one game out of first place. Akron, which still carries the best record in the conference, fell to 20-5 overall and 9-3 in the MAC East, which the Zips lead. In the previous meeting between the two teams, NIU lost, 76-66, at Akron, which started the Huskies’ losing streak.

NIU sophomore big man Marin Maric had his 11th double-double of the season Saturday with 17 points and 11 rebounds and freshman guard Laytwan Porter had 10 points off the bench.

However, the game belonged to Armstead.

In a game that was tied 11 times, had 10 lead changes and featured a 17-3 run by the Huskies to get back into it, Armstead had a highlight-reel put-back dunk to give the Huskies a 73-71 lead with 2:20 left. After Akron retook the lead, Armstead rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Travon Baker and completed a threepoint play to put the Huskies ahead, 7877, with 37 seconds left.

When Akron went back up, 79-78, after a pair of free throws with 14 sec-

onds remaining, Armstead was fouled

by Johnson after driving to the center of the lane. It sent him to the line with 1.7 seconds left.

“Glad that I had Aaric Armstead on my team today,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said. “He had to make two clutch free throws, and that was the deciding factor.”

The season-high crowd of 3,457 switched between quiet and raucous when Armstead was shooting his free throws and when they both went in.

The Huskies’ leading scorer in 201415, Armstead has had an up-and-down season but has emerged lately. Including the performance against Akron, Armstead is averaging 19.3 points and 7.7 rebounds on 52.8 percent shooting in the past three games.

In the Kent State game Tuesday, Armstead’s hot shooting late helped the Huskies mount a dramatic comeback Sam Buckner for Shaw Media. that fell short in a 75-74 loss.

“It was a carry over from the Kent Aaric Armstead dunks while being fouled State game, he was clutch in that game,” against Akron on Saturday in DeKalb. NIU won, 80-79 Montgomery said.

EVANSTON – He was part of a storied rivalry as a player and assistant, and coach Chris Collins would love to see Northwestern develop one with Illinois.

The Wildcats and Fighting Illini have a long way to go to reach that Duke-North Carolina level.

Tre Demps and Scottie Lindsey each scored 18 points and hit four 3-pointers, and Northwestern beat Illinois, 58-56, in a matchup between struggling teams Saturday night.

“I want them to be real good, and I want us to be real good,” said Collins, who played and coached at Duke before taking the Northwestern job. “I was fortunate to be a part of probably the most special rivalry in all of college basketball for 20 years. The reason why rivalries can become special is when both are very good.”

Neither team played a particularly great game. But after committing 10 turnovers in the first half, Northwestern had only two the rest of the way. And Demps

came up huge down the stretch.

He scored all but one of his points in the second half, nailing 3s on four straight possessions to turn a four-point deficit into a five-point lead. And Northwestern (17-9, 5-8 Big Ten) hung on to win for only the second time in eight games.

“You just try to stay engaged, stick to the game plan and make plays defensively (when you’re not scoring),” Demps said. “You know the scouting report, follow the scouting report and try not to worry about it. That’s what we did tonight.”

The Wildcats were leading by two when the Fighting Illini’s Malcolm Hill got tripped up as time expired after catching an inbounds pass. That gave Illinois (11-14, 3-9) its ninth loss in 12 games.

Alex Olah had 10 points and seven rebounds, and the Wildcats came away with the win despite hitting 9 of 26 3-pointers.

Kendrick Nunn led Illinois with 13 points, while Jalen Coleman-Lands and Maverick Morgan added 12 apiece. Hill – the Big Ten’s second-leading scorer – fin-

12 MEN’S BASKETBALL: BIG TEN ROUNDUP

No. 2 Maryland loses at home to Wisconsin The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Wisconsin shut down No. 2 Maryland in the decisive first half and held on for a 70-57 victory Saturday night, ending the Terrapins’ 27-game home winning streak and knocking them out of a tie atop the Big Ten standings.

Vitto Brown scored a career-high 21 points, Bronson Koenig had 16 and Nigel Hayes added 14 for the Badgers (16-9, 8-4), who have won seven straight.

A 3-pointer by Koenig and a layup

Amar Alibegovic led the Red Storm with a career-best 18 points. St. John’s has lost 16 in a row, the longest streak in Division I. For a half, Villanova (22-3, 12-1 Big East) hardly looked like the nation’s top team. The Wildcats, who were 27-point favorites, only led, 28-27, at halftime.

SPORTS BRIEFS

John Lattner, won Heisman at Notre Dame in 1953, dies at 83

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – John Lattner, the 1953 Heisman Trophy winner who helped lead Notre Dame to a 9-0-1 record and a No. 2 ranking in Frank Leahy’s final year as coach, has died. He was 83.

His death was confirmed by Notre Dame, and the school held a moment of silence before its basketball game against Louisville on Saturday.

Lattner, a two-time All-American, was a halfback, defensive back, punter and kick returner who edged Minnesota’s Paul Giel for the Heisman. He captured college football’s top individual honor even though he didn’t lead the Fighting Irish in rushing, passing, receiving or scoring that season.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder was on the cover of Time magazine on Nov. 9, 1953, with the words “a bread-and-butter ball carrier,” a description used by Leahy. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979.

In 1952, he ran for 732 yards on 148 carries, an average of 4.9 yards an attempt, and had 17 catches for 252 yards. He won the Maxwell Award, given to the nation’s top college football player.

“Harry is a homegrown player and an obvious fan-favorite, which makes this trade more emotional than most,” Fire general manager Nelson Rodríguez said.

“However, we believe this trade will prove to be beneficial for our club and for Harry’s career.”

Shipp, 24, had 10 goals and 14 assists in 66 games for the Fire during his two years with the club. Shipp signed with the Fire as a Homegrown Player on Jan. 9, 2014.

Rupp, Cragg win marathon trial, earn spots on U.S. Olympic Team

LOS ANGELES – Galen Rupp’s dominating victory Saturday in hot conditions in the U.S. Olympic marathon trials raised the possibility of an unprecedented Olympic double.

“I think the double in Rio is certainly possible,” said Rupp, who earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team by easily winning his marathon debut in steamy conditions in 2 hours, 11 minutes, 10 seconds.

Runners competed in record heat, with the official temperature at 66 degrees at the start.

Amy Cragg pulled away late to win the women’s division in 2:28:27.

“Four years ago, it was pretty heartbreaking finishing fourth,” Cragg said.

“I worked really, really hard for four years to move up one position (and make the team).”

The 29-year-old Rupp, a silver medalist at 10,000 meters in the 2012 London Games and a seven-time national champion at the distance, could attempt to compete in the marathon and 10,000 in Rio in August, races scheduled eight days apart.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Phil Mickelson handled a strong ocean breeze and firm greens for a 6-under 66 on Saturday to take the lead going into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. It’s the first time Mickelson has had the 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour since the 2013 U.S. Open, and he hasn’t won since the 2013 British Open at Muirfield. He will be going for a record-tying fifth victory in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Hiroshi Iwata of Japan was two strokes back after a 69 at Monterey Peninsula, which had the highest scoring average Saturday because of the wind.

Mickelson was at 16-under 199.

Jordan Spieth had to get up-anddown for par on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach for a 74 to make the cut on the number.

Chubb Classic: Kenny Perry calls Bernhard Langer “The Germinator.”

“Is he human?” Perry asked.

PGA Tour Champions rivals have to be wondering about the 58-yearold German star.

Langer followed his opening 10-under 62 with a 66 on Saturday to increase his lead to seven strokes in the PGA Tour Champions’ Chubb Classic at TwinEagles.

Langer’s lead is the largest in the event after 36 holes. At 16-under 128, he’s closing in on the tournament-record 20-under total that he set in 2011 and Perry matched in 2012.

Langer won the event in 2011 and 2013. The two-time Masters champion has 25 victories on the 50-andover tour.

New Zealand Women’s Open: Lydia Ko took a one-stroke lead into the final round of the New Zealand Women’s Open after shooting a 5-under 67 Saturday.

The South Korean-born New Zealander, who is defending her national title, started the day in a tie for fifth after an opening 69. On Saturday, she had six birdies and a bogey which moved her one shot ahead of Justine Dreher of France, who shot 70.

The 18-year-old Ko had a 36-hole total of 8-under 136 at Clearwater Golf Club in the 54-hole tournament co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and Australian Ladies PGA.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Denny Hamlin has given Joe Gibbs Racing yet another victory to open Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway.

Hamlin won the exhibition Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night for the third time in his career.

JGR drivers have won this short sprint for three consecutive years and four of the last five.

Hamlin overcame early damage to his Toyota to score his first victory with new crew chief Mike Wheeler, who was a longtime engineer for the No. 11 team before his promotion.

Winning this exhibition race doesn’t always translate into Daytona 500 success.

The last driver to win the opening race and the 500 was Dale Jarrett in 2000.

Mickelson takes the lead at Pebble Beach

Ruth Rock is where spirits dance The world is full of rocks. Some are so attractive we would like to call them our own, to make them part of our life’s timeline – like that millions-years-old diamond you might wear on your finger for 50 years or more. But time is tricky.

Rocks are patient. And over time, it’s not clear who owns what, or vice versa.

On the edge of Devil’s Lake not far from Baraboo, Wisconsin, beneath the soaring 500-foot tall cliffs, hard by the railroad track skirting the shoreline, stands a massive granite boulder whose edge drops straight down into the deep, cool water. It is the perfect diving rock, accessible only by hardy souls willing to flip-flop along the railroad timbers for a half-mile or so and then climb over a jumble of granite boulders to find the perfect diving rock.

Oh, there are other boulders that will do, of course. But none have the size, the height, the proximity to deep water, or the lounging flatness on top that let the diver sprawl out in the summer sun to dry off in drowsy daydreams before the next dive.

It is a rock my family discovered a generation ago while camping at Devils Lake, when our kids were barely old enough to dive off such a rock, yet young enough to beg endlessly for us to take them there again … and again.

We liked to think of it as “our rock.”

Of course we weren’t the only ones to have discovered the rock. It was shown to us by our friends, Beth and Jim. Beth had visited the rock with her family a generation before our children were born, when she was barely old enough to dive off such a rock, yet young enough to beg endlessly to be taken there.

And nor was she the first to discover the rock, for etched into its side is a single name – Ruth – and a date, 1909.

When Beth spoke of it, she called it, simply, Ruth Rock.

As the warm sun dries the chill water from your body atop the rock, you have to wonder who carved that name.

Was it Ruth herself, walking the water’s edge with mallet and chisel in hand to lay her claim to the rock’s provenance?

Or was it some young man etching his love for Ruth in eternal stone before taking her out there by canoe for an afternoon swim to show her the depth of his devotion?

Might they have been circus folk, part of the Ringling Brothers Circus, whose founders owned a lakeside summer home there, near to their Baraboo headquarters? Might Ruth have worked with the elephants, which were sometimes brought to the lake to bathe?

She probably would not have been born early enough to see Ulysses S. Grant when he visited the lake. Or Abraham Lincoln’s wife, when she came. But could Ruth have been the daughter of servants who worked at one of the lakeside hotels dating back as far as 1866?

In any case, they are gone now. All that remains of them is a single name and a date on a timeless boulder.

Ruth 1909.

It is a date from a time so remote that whoever carved it must have lived nearby, or perhaps had traveled there by rail, which stitched past the lakeside boulders at the base of the cliffs by 1873.

They certainly didn’t travel by auto or by air.

It is a name so remote that hardly any parents bestow it upon their newborn daughters any more. Search for that name today, and you would have better luck finding it on an ancient boulder instead of in a nursery crib.

Before Ruth lay upon that rock, waiting for the sun to dry her neck-toankles bathing suit, there is no telling how many other children begged their parents to take them to it, for the lake itself is ancient.

Sixty years before Ruth could have visited her namesake rock, in 1849, naturalist and scientist Increase Lapham described the boulder-strewn Devils Lake shore: “A large body of

broken fragments have accumulated along the edge of the water rendering it very difficult to walk along shore: yet two of our party made a circuit of the lake, jumping from rock to rock as best they could.” They certainly would have paused atop a large, flat rock that would have offered them a breather – a rock that generations later would bear the single name, Ruth.

But they would not have been the first, either.

A thousand years earlier it was home to Native Americans who built effigy mounds nearby, and who had their own name for the lake. They believed it was the home of their ancestors’ spirits that danced in the swirling mists above the water every dawn, and that lingered in the haze of their campfires in the fading light of dusk.

In their tongue, it was called the Lake of the Spirits – a name that later was translated into English as “devils,” since white settlers considered any nonbiblical spirit to be evil.

But even they weren’t the first to visit a millennium ago, for a few miles away, even older evidence of human occupation dates back 10 times that long, to the end of the last ice age.

Any activity before that would have been scoured away by glaciers, the last of which set Ruth Rock in place at the very edge of their Lake of the Spirits, which itself was formed by the melting glacial waters.

All those visitors are gone now. All have left their mark in passing, but perhaps none as hauntingly as a girl named Ruth, upon a rock that begs you to lie atop it and dream, as the sun dries the water from your body into wisps of vapor that dance in the air above the Lake of the Spirits.

SEMINAR

By BEN WALKER

The Associated Press NEW YORK – When Julia Haight leads her prize entry into the Westminster Kennel Club dog show ring Monday, she’ll see a shiba inu who’s athletic, alert and pert.

Oh, and this: Tomi helped save her life.

Haight can’t be certain what would’ve happened that day last October. How could she? Five people were in the house on Long Island, sound asleep when the fire started.

What she knows for sure is Tomi (pronounced TAH-mee) smelled the smoke enveloping her second-floor bedroom. He jumped hard onto the bed, pounced on Haight from head to toe and then kept slamming his 25-pound body into her face.

“He’s normally catlike, very graceful. But he was violently shaking. It wasn’t like him at all,” Haight said.

Awakened by this real-life alarm, everyone escaped. The home, not so lucky.

“It could’ve been so, so different,” she said.

Three other dogs in the house, three birds and some fish also were saved.

More than 2,700 dogs will be coming to America’s most prestigious pooch event, and all of them are special.

Charlie the Skye terrier was second to retired Miss P the beagle for best in show last year. Rumor the German shepherd is ranked as the nation’s No. 1 show dog.

There’s a berger Picard who detects when the owner’s son has low blood-sugar levels. There’s a pharaoh hound who needed medical and emotional aid after neglect.

“These are real dogs and real people,” longtime Westminster television host David Frei said. “They’re not dogs that just sit around all day on doggie cushions eating doggie bonbons.”

Judging at the 140th annual show starts Monday morning in the exhibition space on two piers that jut into the Hudson River. Shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday on the green carpet at Madison Square Garden, Richard Meen of Canada will choose America’s top dog.

There are seven new types of dogs this year, boosting the total to 199 breeds and varieties. That includes 51

Julia Haight and her dog, Tomi, a shiba inu, were saved from a fire last October at their home in Hicksville, N.Y., when Tomi woke up the family.

Labrador retrievers, one Neapolitan mastiff but not a single Norwegian lundehund.

All 50 states are represented, along with entries from Thailand, Brazil and Slovenia. There’s also an agility competition Saturday and a first-time obedience event Monday.

Dog fanciers watching Monday on CNBC and Tuesday on USA Network can play at home, too. Purina Pro Plan is offering a $1 million prize for correctly picking the winners of the hound, nonsporting, herding, sporting, toy, working and terrier groups, plus the overall champ.

Tomi is among the 14 shibas entered. Spirited and on the smallish side, they’re the pride of Japan, come in shades of red, white, sesame, black and tan, and are highly focused on keeping their coats clean.

Over the past four months, the Haights have lived in a pet-friendly hotel and a rental home. She’s continued to work in retail management for PetSmart, a top company for pet supplies and services.

Tomi, for all he did, enjoyed some treats.

“Nothing but people food for a week,” she said.

Later this month, the whole family is set to move back into their rebuilt home.

“I know he misses his yard,” Haight said. “And thanks to him, we all get to go back and enjoy it.”

New book captures love in pop culture

By LEANNE ITALIE

Tropez, first in a civil ceremony, then in a Roman Catholic wedding where the Nicaraguan beauty walked down the aisle to a selection of sappy songs from “Love Story.” She requested the music.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Fashion and style forever have been in bed with film, television and music, especially the moments that scream love.

We all have our top pop memories of romance, lust, marriage, heartbreak from those worlds and more, including the beauty industry and the world of advertising. In a new book, “The Looks of Love: 50 Moments in Fashion That Inspired Romance,” insider and designer Hal Rubenstein has rounded up some of his. We asked him to illuminate his favorites from the book, which was released by Harper Design in plenty of time for Valentine’s Day:

Sonny and Cher

Love Story

Rubenstein calls 1970s “Love Story” a “cheaply produced, poorly shot and badly edited” film of Erich Segal’s runaway best-selling book. Both had fans weeping by the millions. Among the reasons the film did well were the genetically blessed stars, Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal, but coming as it did in the ascendancy of Woodstock, with its bell-bottoms and beaded necklaces, “Love Story” ironically led the way for preppy style. Forever.

In his Harris Tweed blazers over Shetland sweaters and blue Oxford cloth shirts with collars out, O’Neal’s Ollie might well have been raised by the sales staff of Brooks Brothers, Rubenstein said.

MacGraw’s Jenny, meanwhile, walked a protestfree campus in a peacoat, black turtleneck and plaid

Pop singers Sonny and Cher appear Oct. 3, 1981, during a taping of ABC’s “Good Morning America” in New York. skirt with matching scarf once the book (thanks to a plug of gold from fan Barbara Walters) hit the big screen the year after the seismic Woodstock.

The film’s score had legs. Mick and Bianca, as in the Jaggers, were married twice in 1971 in St.

Her Bob Mackie gowns and long straight raven hair are legendary, as are his furry vests and Prince Valiant ’dos. But there’s something else, Rubenstein said, besides their break out dueting that hit the Top 40 in 1965. They followed up with “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour” that premiered on CBS in 1971, ending in 1974.

The two fell out of love and divorced in 1975.

Both had short-lived solo TV shows before CBS persuaded them in 1976 to reunite as a divorced couple in the same time slot, Sunday nights.

“They were the first high-profile couple ever to appear in public divorced and getting along,” Rubenstein said. “When I was a kid [he’s 65] you said the word divorce the same way everybody said the word cancer. And they basically said, ‘Here we are and we’re having a good time,’ and it changed people’s attitudes toward divorce.”

Then Cher got pregnant with Gregg Allman’s child. The larger she got, the more uneasy it was for Sonny and Cher to be onstage together.

“An uncomfortable audience felt the same way,” Rubenstein writes. “The reunion show barely lasted two years.”

Flashdance

You can thank director Adrian Lyne and costume designer Michael Kaplan for moving along the casualization of America’s dress code through this movie in 1983. It was high gloss and paper thin, Rubenstein writes, but it incorporated big shifts in youth culture, from sex to style.

With their curly manes, olive skin and dark brooding eyes, stars Jennifer Beals and Michael Nouri – who played her boss and her love interest, Nick – not only looked like they could be fraternal twins but wore interchangeable outfits in identical colors. That, Rubenstein said, helped neutralize clothing as a source of gender power as their courtship unfolds.

Alex was gutsy in love and style, stomping around in her welder’s boots by day and sliding up her short black leather skirt as she sat to slip off her lace bra under her torn sweatshirt after their first date. The scene had Nick bug-eyed in astonishment.

“This film is a time capsule, watershed moment of everything that was basically happening in pop culture, in fashion, in sexuality. It hits every single button,” Rubenstein said.

Chanel No. 5

Coco Chanel wasn’t fond of flowery scents. She considered perfumes that were too perfumey overly girly and oppressive, triggering memories of her years as a seamstress for wealthy women who reeked of musk and lavender to mask body odor, Rubenstein said.

What she did recollect fondly, from her teen years at Aubazine Abbey’s convent, was how everyone smelled clean.

Michelle Williams

At the 2006 Academy Awards, Sandra Bullock wore navy, Jennifer Lopez picked olive green, Amy Adams was in mocha brown and Meryl Streep donned taupe. And then there was Michelle Williams, on the arm of love Heath Ledger, in a Vera Wang chiffon and tulle gown of many folds declared one of the best Oscar dresses of all time. It had delicate pleating along a low neckline and graceful folds, including a train that oozed sensuality with every step. But it was the standout color that killed, Rubenstein said. Wang called it “Bahamian yellow” and it was perfection against her pale skin, platinum swept-back hair and bright red lips.

“There’s something so beautiful and wonderful and tragic about that dress,” Rubenstein said. “They were the perfect new Hollywood couple.”

The two separated in late 2007 and Ledger died in January 2008 of an accidental drug overdose.

Continued from page 4

In 1921, Chanel commissioned perfumer Ernest Beaux to create an unusual fragrance that “reflected the scent of a woman,” Rubenstein writes. Beaux presented her with 10 options. Option No. 5 had floral notes, but Beaux included an experimental chemical called aldehyde, which extended the aroma of a perfume. On its own, aldehyde smells like soap.

The No. 5 formulation was Chanel’s choice, and an iconic perfume was born.

When filmmaker Baz Luhrmann created a short film aimed in 2004 at re-establishing No. 5 amid a crowded field of designer fragrances, he cast his “Moulin Rouge” star Nicole Kidman as a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. Monroe once said all she wore to bed was “five drops of Chanel No. 5.”

After Larry Davis’ heart stopped on Valentine’s Day 2015, he and his wife, Joan, switched to a whole-food lifestyle

By OLIVIA MORRISSEY editorial@nwherald.com

W

hile most couples will celebrate Valentine’s Day with rich dinners and decadent desserts, Joan and Larry Davis will dine on spaghetti with marinara sauce, spinach with cranberries, and cheesecake topped with strawberry glaze.

The difference? The Davis’s meal will be entirely whole-food and plantbased. In other words, it will omit meat, dairy, eggs and oil in favor of whole grains, leafy greens and cleverly disguised tofu. If the comparison was not immediately apparent, that is the point of their crusade to improve their lifestyle and that of others interested in “going WFPB,” as Joan calls it.

This Valentine’s Day will be of particular importance for the couple. At 4:12 a.m. Feb. 14, 2015, Larry’s heart flatlined after undergoing a successful triple bypass surgery.

“I remember the time because I looked at the clock as nurses were rushing into the room,” Larry said.

“I remember feeling fine, and in complete disbelief that any of this was happening.”

The health scare shocked Joan and Larry, who are in their late sixties and very active. The Del Webb Sun City residents exercise several times a week and are avid travelers, booking trips to locales across the globe each year. Larry enjoys scuba diving and has logged nearly 2,600 dives.

“I had just gotten back from a diving trip in the Philippines, and before that I did the Polar Plunge in Antarctica,” Larry said. “When my doctor told me I had three blocked arteries, I was completely dumbfounded.”

Larry’s recovery was slow but steady as he was fitted with a defibrillator and pacemaker and completed cardiac rehabilitation. He dutifully took his medication and followed his

Larry and Joan Davis continue to lead an active lifestyle since Larry’s heart attack.

They continue to travel, and recently returned from northern Michigan, where they went dog sledding. doctor’s lifestyle recommendations: Resume exercise and the low-fat diet he had consumed for much of his life.

Both Larry and Joan were dismayed, however, because they felt this advice had brought them to the hospital in the first place.

At the behest of her twin sister, Joan picked up the book, “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. A former nurse, Joan was skeptical at first, but upon realizing Esselstyn was associated with the Cleveland Clinic, she decided to read on, and then couldn’t put it down. The couple enrolled in a workshop at the Cleveland Clinic hosted by Esselstyn. There, they learned about research supporting plant-based, whole-foods lifestyles and methods to cook and eat that way every day.

“It gave us such hope, because all we had heard before this was ‘everything in moderation,’ which could give you a ‘moderate’ heart attack,” Joan said.

According to a scientific review published in 2003 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a plant-based diet could be a preventative measure against cardiovascular disease. The review examined the findings of several studies focused on the correlation between dietary

With this in mind, Larry and Joan purged their refrigerator, freezer and pantry of any offending foods, including anything processed or with added sugar. They have learned to “negotiate” at restaurants; for example, they order breakfast skillets without eggs and oil but loaded with potatoes and fresh veggies. Meals at home now include oil-free gravy, meatless meatloaf and mashed potatoes with almond milk.

“I used to be the kind of person who would only make a recipe that was three ingredients or less,” Joan

said with laugh. “But now, I’m making recipes that are 20-plus ingredients, and they actually turn out well.”

Today, Larry is down to one blood pressure medication and has halved the amount of statins he must take.

The Davises plan to continue their newfound lifestyle indefinitely and look forward to resuming their travels this year. As they experience new cultures across the globe, they say they become more aware of the growing need to reform dietary habits in America.

“We have to do something. We have to make major changes to the way Americans are eating,” Joan said. “We can’t keep doing what we’re doing.”

Larry echoes this sentiment, noting the right motivation will inspire changes in the refrigerators and grocery store aisles nationwide.

“Being alive and healthy is the best motivation,” he said.

Soak up Oscars vibes The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – It’s Oscar season in Los Angeles. With the 88th annual Academy Awards scheduled for Feb. 28, here are three places in L.A. to soak up those glitzy Oscars vibes and maybe even run into one of the nominees.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

The Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel is known as the ultra-luxe stay for Oscar nominees. While the hotel won’t name names, Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett have stayed there, and Oscar winners Anne Hathaway and Reese Witherspoon have been spotted there. VIP guests get personally monogrammed – yes, monogrammed – pillowcases.

For those who can afford some true Oscars-worthy pampering, the hotel offers services such as a week-long “Red Carpet Ready” package of personal training sessions and spa treatments, including a body scrub with detox wrap. The total cost? A cool $3,000.

If, like most of us, you don’t have that much cash to blow, consider, say, a 15-minute lip-plumping treatment for $45, or snagging a drink at the hotel’s sun-soaked bright blue rooftop pool and garden.

The Grove/Farmers Market

With its sprawling swath of swanky stores, including Barneys New York, Swarovski and Diane von Furstenberg, this outdoor retail center always attracts a slew of movie stars, from Mark Wahlberg to Oscar winner Halle Berry.

Walk along the main path, or take a quick trolley ride to the historic Farmers Market next door. Around since 1934, the Farmers Market – a savory-smelling mix of colorful stalls – serves up everything from thick pizza to gumbo.

It’s also a Hollywood institution.

Legendary visitors have included Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and the Beatles.

Runyon Canyon Park

Those tabloid photos you see of celebrities and their pooches huffing it up a winding dusty path? More than likely, they’re photos of Runyon Canyon, a 160-acre nature park nestled in the Hollywood Hills.

Hit the park’s trails for panoramic views of L.A. at the top. You might just see Runyon fans such as Miley Cyrus and Jake Gyllenhaal sweating it out to prep for the onslaught of Oscars events.

Harsh self-judgments a roadblock to sobriety “Karen” had been in and out of residential treatment programs, outpatient programs and AA since she was a teen, and she just hit her 35th birthday. She hadn’t been able to stay clean and sober for longer than six months outside of her time in treatment. She always did well in treatment, got high marks and impressed the counselors with her intelligence and sincerity. She clearly had done a lot of work on herself and could pretty much teach the addiction 101 class. She had worked on her codependent relationship with her parents and had set boundaries with using friends and toxic people. She had “gotten honest” (or so she thought); she just couldn’t stay sober.

Early in her recovery, things had gotten measurably worse each time she relapsed, including experiencing homelessness, rape and jail time.

Lately though, the drinking was

short and intense, and the damage was mostly internal. She was riddled with anxiety, mistrust of herself and others, guilt and remorse, an emotional cocktail so distasteful she could hardly face the day after.

Her parents long since had given up on any kind of normal life for her. All the promises of a healthy, happy life for their daughter had disappeared. They felt guilty, scared, disappointed and angrier than they would admit. They had given up on the criticism, the judgements, the lectures and guilt trips only because these had been ineffective at getting through to Karen. What they didn’t know was Karen didn’t need their help to feel critical, judgmental, stupid and guilty because she knew how to do these things to herself.

Therein lay the biggest glitch in Karen’s sobriety. She had ingested all the guilt and shame and, to her, alcoholism became fundamentally

a moral failing; she was not a sick person trying to get well, rather she felt like a bad person trying to get good. She had never really accepted her illness but hated herself for her dishonesty, promiscuity, stupidity, anxiety, irrational thoughts, roller coaster emotions, irresponsibility, immaturity and other assorted human failings ad nausem.

When she started to accept her damaged self and share its reality without judgement, when she could take a noncritical view of the character issues she had in her inventory, and when she learned a little about self-forgiveness, she started on the real road to recovery.

Karen finally can go to an AA meeting and not cringe when the folks around the tables have a hearty laugh at the very defects that had almost shamed her to death. She can share her experience without selfjudgement and shame. She would tell you today she’s a sick person trying to get well, not a bad person trying to get good.

Gem Talk

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, many people adorn their loved ones with heart shaped gifts. From boxes of heart shaped candies to heart shaped jewelry and even heart shaped diamonds, this symbol has come to be the ultimate expression of love. But how did it all begin? It’s obviously not anatomically correct, so how did this shape become the world known emblem for love, passion and devotion?

Several pieces of heart shaped pottery can be traced back as far as 3000BC. However, the shape was not yet used in connection with love, but instead used to mimic the shape of either the fig or ivy leaf. These leaves were used to symbolize an array of different things including enlightenment, Dionysus and a hardy, long life.

It wasn’t until the end of the Middle Ages that the heart shape was reportedly being represented as the now widely known emblem for love. In the 13th Century, one of the earliest depictions of the symbol was used in a metaphorical sense, when a man was shown handing over his heart to a woman in the French manuscript “Roman de la poire”. In the 16th Century, the Catholic Church started using the symbol after Saint Margaret Mary Alcoque had a vision of the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” that looked strikingly similar to the shape that we use today. From that point on, the use of the heart shape symbol as a way to depict love, passion and sometimes the actual human heart exploded.

Once the symbol was associated with romantic love, heart shaped jewelry started arriving on the market. In early Victorian times, the Witch’s Heart was especially popular to give as a gift. The Witch’s Heart has an asymmetrical shape and meant that you were “bewitched” by that person. A single Witch’s heart would be given to a sweetheart, while entwined hearts were a symbol of marriage.

Today there are many types of heart jewelry ranging from pendants, to bracelets and even heart-shaped diamonds! Some people collect heart jewelry while others think of it more as a Valentine’s Day only kind of gift. Whatever your preference may be, we have an array of different heart shaped jewelry that you’re certain to love. So be sure to visit us on our website or in the store to see our complete collection.

Lasting love

Married since 1949, couple shares their story that’s taken them from Sicily to Crystal Lake

By OLIVIA MORRISSEY

W

editorial@nwherald.com

hen it comes to love, as they say, what is meant to be, will be. In the case of John and Joanna Frasca of Crystal Lake, ages 95 and 89, respectively, a little persistence helped, too. The couple have been married for almost seven decades, but their love story begins even earlier than that. The two grew up in the same neighborhood in Sicily, Italy, their family homes just a block away from each other. Although he was older, from the moment John laid eyes on Joanna, he declared her “beautiful” and the girl he one day would marry.

“What are you, crazy? You’re too young to think about marriage!” John remembers his mother’s scolding when he first told her of his plans. But he didn’t forget the raven-haired girl down the street.

Years passed, and eventually John and Joanna followed divergent paths. John enlisted in the Merchant Marine in World War II and was captured as a civil prisoner held in Australia. In 1946, Joanna emigrated with her mother to the U.S., where her father already was living and working. Not long after Joanna left Italy, John was released and given the opportunity to either stay in Australia with a plot of land and money from the Australian government or return to Italy. He chose to return home, with one person on his mind.

When he again told his mother of his plans to marry Joanna, she told him, “Forget about her.

She has gone.” John says he insisted this time, and his mother agreed to write to Joanna’s parents in America. They corresponded about the possibility of a marriage for children, and then allowed John and Joanna to correspond. The two wrote across the Atlantic for two years, until John devised a way to travel to the U.S. and marry the love of his life.

He arrived in New Orleans by boat in June 1949, his future father-in-law waiting at the dock.

Although the two had never met, John recognized the man right away.

“He wrote me in a letter, ‘I’ll be the one wearing the red handkerchief,’ ” John said. “When I saw him standing there, flipping that handkerchief over his shoulder, I knew it was him.”

Photos provided

ABOVE: John and Joanna Frasca look through their wedding album in their room at The Fountains of Crystal Lake. TOP: Married in September 1949, the couple advises communication is the key to lasting love.

By September of that year, John and Joanna were married. The two settled in Chicago, at the corner of 47th and Loomis, near the stockyards.

There, they raised a son, John, and spent years fixing up their humble apartment. John, who worked as a butcher, installed major electrical work and replaced windows, among other handyman projects, when he came home from work.

“None of that skill came down to me,” their son said with a laugh. “I can’t do half the stuff he can.

All you had to do was show him once, and he could do just about anything, from carpentry to plumbing to gardening.”

But their son says John and Joanna did give him a strong sense of family, a mainstay in Italian culture. Holidays saw the house full of extended family members and close friends, and daily life was punctuated by good deeds done for neighbors in need.

“My parents have always been people I could depend on, and family has always been number one to us. That was how I grew up, and it was a wonderful environment to grow up in,” John said.

After their son was grown and had a family of his own, Joanna and John moved to a home in Frankfort in the late 1970s. A great pride of their home was the garden and lawn, which John kept perfectly manicured.

“My grass was like a carpet. No weeds,” he said.

Then, wistfully, “I miss our house.”

The couple now resides at The Fountains at Crystal Lake, an assisted living facility. Although the transition at times has been challenging, they celebrated their one-year anniversary at The Fountains this month and have made new friends. John even tends a garden on the grounds during the warmer months, growing tomatoes and peppers.

As they reminisce about their improbable romance, John looks to Joanna when he can’t find the right word. She gently alerts him when his story is becoming long-winded. They communicate with looks and gestures as much as words, but they agree talking is the key to what has kept them together.

“Never go to bed mad,” Joanna advises other couples. John agreed. “Talk about things, communicate if something bothers you.”
