STATE BUDGET ADDRESS

Will serve on MCC board for spring semester By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com

DEEP CUTS PROPOSED Rauner: Budget plan ends ‘reckless practices of the past’ By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner submitted a 2016 budget heavy with cuts that drew almost immediate fire from the Democratic-controlled General Assembly. Calling his plan “our last, best chance to get our house in order,” Rauner used his first-ever budget address Wednesday to make the case for cutting back on Medicaid, shared revenue with local governments and higher education, and future public-employee pension benefits, without raising taxes. He called the budget for the 2016 fiscal year starting July 1 an “honest” one that eliminates a projected $6.2 billion shortfall and ends what he called “the irresponsible and reckless practices of the past.” “It will take time to restore Illinois to fiscal health. Now is the time to start on a responsible path after years of financial recklessness,” Rauner said. “Instilling discipline is not easy, saying ‘no’ is not popular – but it is now or never for Illinois.” Rauner ran on a campaign to fix the state’s deep fiscal woes, which include having the worst credit

Bruce Rauner delivers his budget address Wednesday. rating of all 50 states, more than $5 billion in unpaid bills, and an $111 billion shortfall and rising, the worst-funded public pension system. But Democratic lawmakers, who hold House and Senate supermajorities, were quick to pounce on the proposed plan as hurting

the state’s most needy citizens and working families. “Gov. Rauner’s plan includes proposals that will undermine access to health services, child care, affordable college and retirement security for working- and middle-class families. These programs provide many

of the work supports and opportunities that families need to succeed and respond to the economy,” said Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, in a statement. About half of the cost savings Rauner outlined would come in the form of pension and health coverage reform for state employees. In a clear challenge to public-employee unions, his budget proposes allowing existing state employees to keep the benefits they have earned to date, but moves them to the “Tier 2” for employees hired as of 2011, which requires higher payments into their respective pensions and a smaller cost-of-living adjustment. His plan does not diminish pension benefits for those already retired, and does not apply to pensions for police officers or firefighters, given their dangerous jobs. Rauner said he believes altering benefits going forward for existing employees will pass constitutional muster. A 2013 reform passed by state lawmakers that lowers retiree benefits will be heard next month by the Illinois Supreme Court – unions took the state to court, arguing the

CRYSTAL LAKE – For the first time, the student voice on the McHenry County College Board of Trustees will be a veteran. Jason Memmen of Johnsburg, who started at McHenry County College in the fall, was recently installed as the board’s student trustee for the spring semester, wrapping up the unfinished term of student Trustee Justin Peters. Originally from Chicago, the 28-year-old Memmen moved to the area after returning from a recent deployment. He is working toward an associate degree in general education. Memmen serves as a key leader within the Student Veterans of America chapter on campus and is a member of the college’s Student Veterans Association. Off campus, he works as the volunteer director of public affairs for the nonprofit group, Supporting All Veterans Equally Foundation. “I look forward to working with students of all ages and backgrounds and hope to leave a positive legacy at MCC,” Memmen said in a news release, adding in an interview that his top priority is emphasizing the need for student space. In addition to being a student, Memmen continues to serve in the Illinois Army National Guard out of Midway Airport. He has completed two combat tours as part of operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom and has received numerous

Marengo man who got teen pregnant violates probation Sentenced to 3 years in prison for trying to contact girl By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A 21-year-old Marengo man lasted less than two weeks on probation before being rearrested on allegations that he contacted the teenage girl he impregnated.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Austin J. Vesely on Jan. 26 to two years of probation on a charge of aggravated sexual abuse. Part of his sentence was that he have no contact with the victim, who is now 16 years old. On Feb. 6, Vesely attempted to

make contact with the girl who was at Rockford Memorial Hospital, Assistant State’s Attorney John Gibbons said. Prosecutors were notified by police, and Vesely was taken back into custody Feb. 11. Neither Gibbons nor Vesely’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos,

would comment on the nature of the contact or why the girl was at the hospital, citing patient privacy. Prather on Tuesday sentenced Vesely to three years in prison for violating the probation she previously ordered. He will receive about six months credit for time served earlier this year. After his release, he must serve two years

Workers shouldn’t be forced to pay union dues SPRINGFIELD – Should anyone be compelled to support a political cause they don’t believe in? That’s the crux of an Illinois legal issue almost certain to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the past, the high court has ruled workers in non-right-to-work states can be forced to pay “fair share” dues to unions as long as none of the money goes toward political purposes. The money is supposed to be spent on the costs the unions incur representing these people at the bargaining table and administering the contract. As Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy pointed out last year, however, the situation for government workers is different. Just about everything a union does on their behalf is political. Think about it.

LOTTERY

VIEWS Scott Reeder Some of the biggest political issues facing state government this year are state worker pensions, employee pay and staffing in state facilities. And, guess what? All those issues are ones brought up in labor negotiations. So all of what a government worker union does is political in nature. Some people who work for state government, local school districts and municipalities don’t agree with their unions and don’t believe they should be forced to pay money to groups that may hold a different political position than they do. Yet those workers continue to give money to unions because they want to hang onto their jobs.

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Harris v. Quinn: “Except perhaps in the rarest of circumstances, no person in this country may be compelled to subsidize speech by a third party that he or she does not wish to support.” I was sitting in the courtroom when the Supreme Court heard the Harris case last year. It appeared a majority of the court is willing to look at the question of “fair share” dues. In fact, the Harris case prompted Gov. Bruce Rauner to issue an executive order this month saying state workers do not have to pay money to unions – unless they want to. Rauner is seeking a declaratory judgment in federal court to affirm that his actions are constitutional. And that has to frighten union bosses nationwide. Here’s why:

Ultimately, if the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of Rauner, every government worker in the U.S. could be off the hook for union dues. And only those who want to belong, not those forced to pay, would support government unions. And this wouldn’t be just for Illinois state workers. It would be for every city, state, county and school district employee in the U.S. That is how it is already in 25 states. It’s a matter of worker freedom. People should not be forced to give to a group they don’t agree with just to have a job.

CARY – District 26 is looking to expand its full-day kindergarten so it would be available to all students, according to a proposed staffing plan. Under the proposal, the district will be able to offer full-day kindergarten to all students, as well as expand its English Language Learners program and bring back enrichment programs. The staffing plan for next school year is scheduled to be voted on Monday by the school board. Superintendent Brian Coleman said the proposed staffing plan is the beginning of the district’s budget for the 2015-16 school year. District 26 currently has a limited full-day kindergarten program, and students are selected by lottery. Most students in District 26’s program are in a half-day program. Going to full-day kindergarten for all requires adding 2.6 full-time equivalent positions. The district expects to have 160 kindergarten students, Coleman said. The half-day option still would be available if parents choose it for their children. As the district continues to see declining enrollment, it has enough space at Three Oaks and Briargate schools to provide full-day kindergarten to all students. There would be four kindergarten sections at Three Oaks and two sections at Briargate under the proposal, according to district documents. A part-time teacher also would be added to provide specials, such as art or music. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer it to our students,” Coleman said. He added the district would like to have kindergarten at Deer Path school, but space is not available. The move requires a $52,000 material and capital investment, as well. To continue with technology initiatives, the district plans to add a technology support specialist, which would allow for each district school to have a technology support employee. District administrators also are looking to add three

Lenten season begins Ash Wednesday observed in county By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – During the Lenten period, the faithful should focus on three main points, the Rev. Peter Sarnicki said. “During these 40 days we like to deeply answer Jesus’ love through our own love,” he said. “We take part in prayer, giving alms and fasting to help us deepen that love for him and

for our neighbors. “This is the main meaning and our goal during the Lenten time.” He spoke that same message to hundreds of people, including a number of students, who gathered on Ash Wednesday at Saint Margaret Mary Parish in Algonquin. Throughout the day, Sarnicki said Ash Wednesday services likely would bring into the Catholic Church thousands of McHenry County residents looking to celebrate the start of Lent. For Natalie Kowalski of Huntley, it’s a significant time to pass on a meaningful mes-

sage to her four kids. “We always tell our kids to make room for Jesus in their hearts,” Kowalski said, holding Kenzie, her 19-month-old daughter. “So this gets them excited to do that and excited for the Easter holiday.” While Kenzie is too young to make a tangible sacrifice for 40 days, Kowalski said she would be giving up chocolate for Lent, and she also would make an effort to carry out a good deed every day. Her two 7-year-olds will be taking part in Lenten activities, as well, but instead of giving something up, Kowalski said they have decided to take

on more. “One is feeding the fish every day, and the other is going to feed the dog and take out our recyclables every day,” she said. “They decided to do something to help every day.” Glenn Kiermas’ sacrifice is not tangible either. When asked by Sarnicki during the service, the Algonquin man said he intended to give up arguing with his wife, adding there’s no better time to work on self-improvement. “Lent just brings a nice cleansing feeling,” Kiermas said. “It’s a time to sort of start over with good intentions and be the best you can be.”

The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory in several Illinois and Indiana counties, including McHenry County. It will

In that case, the lowest recorded high temperature of 9 degrees on Feb. 19, 1936, near O’Hare International Airport would be surpassed. “The record low for that area is in the minus teens, but we don’t expect lows to get that low,” Nelson added. “Tonight [Wednesday], lows should be between 7 and 11 below zero.” But it will seem a lot colder

In these conditions, hypothermia on exposed skin can occur within an extended period of time, and frostbite in a matter minutes, the National Weather Service advised.

lease, the victim first notified officers of the unauthorized transactions in May 2014, which started a months-long investigation. Records discovered during the course of the investigation led officers to Schlitter, who is a family member of the victim. McHenry County Sheriff Bill Prim said family and friends should help elderly relatives prevent financial exploitation. Indications may include unfamiliar signatures on checks and other documents; changes in banks; large or unexplained withdrawals from bank accounts; and a lack of bank statements or canceled checks being sent to the elderly person’s residence. The sheriff’s office will host a fraud prevention presentation at 10 a.m. March 11 at the McHenry Township Senior Center at 3519 N. Richmond Road in Johnsburg.

Knox Drive extension was approved • IMPROVEMENTS Continued from page A3 they are on top of the priority list, but those three alone will cost more than $415,000. Residents on Glenbrook Road and Chickaloon Drive – which are estimated to need more than a $1 million in improvements combined – could need to wait to see those renovations. One road project already approved for 2015-16 is the Knox Drive extension that will link Municipal Drive to Charles Miller Road. The project will cost about $290,000. Morefield said these local road projects are important because the city is the sole entity responsible for maintenance unlike state and federal highways or joint township roads. “No one else is going to be responsible for improving these roads,” he said. “We’ll get done what we can.”

Madigan: Rauner’s proposed pension change ‘reckless’ “There has to be sacrifice, and the hard votes are going to have to come. We can no longer be the party of saying yes to every organization and every interest group.”

• BUDGET Continued from page A1 reforms violate the provision of the Illinois Constitution that pension benefits cannot be “diminished or impaired.” House Speaker Michael Madigan after the budget address called Rauner’s proposed pension change “reckless” with the original reform bill still in legal limbo. He criticized Rauner’s unwillingness to blend spending cuts with new sources of tax revenue, such as the 3 percent income tax surcharge on millionaires that Madigan, D-Chicago, proposed last year. A number of Democrats support raising the income tax rate, which decreased Jan. 1 from 5 percent to 3.75 percent on individuals. Democratic lawmakers in 2011 raised the individual rates 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on businesses, but could not marshal the needed support last year to make the temporary increases permanent.

State Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake Almost all of the new revenue raised by the increases, while billed by Democratic lawmakers as a way to get the state’s finances back on track, were instead swallowed by the state’s ballooning pension obligations. About 25 percent of the state’s general fund budget now goes to paying pension benefits. While Rauner’s address did not rule out future additional revenue – he supports imposing the state sales tax on a number of services – he said that new revenue sources are out of the question for him without fundamental change. “This huge deficit is the result of years of bad decisions, sleight-of-hand budgeting and

giveaways we couldn’t afford,” Rauner said. “It is not the result of decreasing [income] tax rates. Some in the General Assembly are eager to discuss new revenue. But before revenue can be discussed, reform is essential.” Rauner’s budget also proposes cutting Medicaid spending by $1.5 billion, with hospitals and nursing homes seeing a Medicaid rate reduction of 12 percent. His plan also includes eliminating some Medicaid services, as well as revisiting previous attempts at reform, such as an “aggressive” review of eligibility for the 3 million people who rely on it. Another proposal, which could prove just as unpopular

with his Republican caucus as it would with Democrats, seeks to slash what the state disburses in income tax revenue to local governments and universities, which he argues makes up small percentages of their budgets. But Rauner’s budget includes more funding for some critical programs. Rauner’s budget seeks to boost funding for K-12 education by $300 million and early-childhood education by $25 million. It also includes allocating more funding to programs fighting recidivism and $58.5 million more for mental health funding, although critics allege the benefits will be negated by Medicaid cuts. McHenry County’s representatives in Springfield, Republican and Democrat alike, lauded the proposed budget. State Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, said that while Wednesday’s budget address was her third – the previous two given by former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn – it was the first that was truthful about the state’s deep fiscal woes.

“There has to be sacrifice, and the hard votes are going to have to come,” Wheeler said. “We can no longer be the party of saying yes to every organization and every interest group. We’re going to be the most unpopular General Assembly in the history of Illinois, and it’s about time.” State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, likewise lauded Rauner’s proposals as a good starting point that he said he hopes will encourage debate and much-needed austerity. “I’m glad he gave a speech like that,” Franks said. “I think reality will set in for many lawmakers that they can’t pretend anymore that there’s money for programs. The governor was right that we have to fundamentally change how we run the state.” Rauner said in his address that he and lawmakers were “days” away from figuring out a way to patch a $1.5 billion shortfall in the current 2015 budget, which if unchecked will mean a loss of funding for day care providers, corrections workers and other state employees.

Plan looks to add teachers for enrichment • D-26 Continued from page A3 enrichment teachers, two for the elementary schools and one for the middle school. Enrichment teachers were cut in 2010. “Research supports the need to provide additional learning experiences for academically talented students that will challenge and develop their learning needs,” district documents say. The English Language Learners program also is being expanded under the proposed plan. It would include a fullday ELL kindergarten teacher, as well as a teacher dedicated toward helping newcomers to the country in the sixth through eighth grades. An additional bilingual tutor for kindergarten through second grade also is planned and will be grant-funded, Coleman said. Students who are English Language Learners also will be in self-contained classrooms through the fourth grade, instead of the third grade. They will be taught in their native language for the additional year before transitioning into an English-speaking classroom. The district in recent years has brought back dedicated teachers for art, music, physical education, band and foreign language. The district had cut those positions and even closed schools when faced with declining enrollment and large financial problems. Overall, the district will be adding 6.1 full-time equivalents positions at an additional cost of $268,000. The proposed staffing plan requires the district to add 9.1 positions, but declining enrollment will lead to the reduction of three teachers. The estimated costs have been incorporated into the district’s five-year financial plan, and new teachers would be hired at the base salary level, district documents said.

SKETCH VIEW

Let students go unranked A trend for some school districts in Illinois has found its way to McHenry County: eliminating class rank. Crystal Lake-based School District 155 has held forums on the topic. If it decides to eliminate class rank, it would join other northern Illinois districts in doing so, including Barrington District 220, Glenbrook District 225, Highland Park and Deerfield District 113, New Trier District 203, Maine Township For the record District 207, Palatine-based District When was the last time you 211 and Arlington were asked about your high Heights-based school class rank on a job District 214. interview? The graduating class of 2019 would be the first to be affected by the proposed change should the school board decide to approve it. We support the proposed change, for a number of reasons we will leave unranked. Class rank often is a determining criteria in college admissions, but it’s a flawed statistic. A student with a 3.7 grade-point average might not reach the top 25 percent of his or her class in one school district, but might be in the top 10 percent in another district. Prairie Ridge Principal Steve Koch said students are avoiding electives because they’re not weighted and can drag down their GPA in comparison to their peers and the decreasing emphasis colleges are placing on class rank. Isn’t that the opposite of what we want out of our education? An elective is a chance to pursue a passion or broaden your horizons. It’s an unnecessary stressor that doesn’t do anything to prepare kids for the real world. When was the last time you were asked about your high school class rank on a job interview? Our one major concern is that there are still scholarships out there based on class rank. But Paula Steiner, the Career Center supervisor at Prairie Ridge, said in the rare cases where valedictorian or salutatorian scholarships exist, the schools will work with students to make sure they get the assistance they need in applying for those. As long as that help is available, we see no reason to not support this change.

ANOTHER VIEW

Time to clarify union law Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said he’d shake things up. Hence the headline “Fascism comes to Illinois” in a pro-union publication enraged by Rauner’s executive order relieving state employees of mandated “fair share” payments to unions they do not wish to join. Rauner followed his order by filing a federal lawsuit in Chicago that asks a judge to rule on the propriety of his action. Fascism? Not hardly. Actually, it looks like a good-faith effort to seek a clarification of the law after a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that raised questions about the legality of permitting unions to force payments from nonmembers. Political observers have suggested the legal issue might ultimately be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the meantime, there’s no downplaying the anger union leaders feel. Rauner’s decision, if upheld, will hit the unions right where it hurts – in the pocketbook. How much it will hurt is a matter of speculation. Rauner said he took action because “government union bargaining and government union political activity are inextricably linked.” “As a result, an employee who is forced to pay unfair share dues is being forced to fund political activity with which they disagree. That is a clear violation of First Amendment rights and something that, as governor, I am duty-bound to correct,” he said. Actually, it’s not that clear, although the governor accurately summed up the legal argument against allowing unions to coerce payments from roughly 6,500 nonunion public employees out of more than 40,000 on the payroll. Unions argue because nonunion employees benefit from contracts negotiated on their behalf they must be forced to pay for the costs of negotiations. If they do not, the union contends, they are “free riders.” The political arrangement between public employee unions and their political patrons is the subtext of this dispute. Rauner has complained public employee unions exercise undue influence on public officials – both Republicans and Democrats – because they help elect many of them to office by providing campaign donations and campaign volunteers. Once elected, Rauner asserts, these elected officials reward their union supporters with contracts that dearly cost taxpayers. So while the fair share question involves First Amendment issues, it has significant political consequences. Unions want access to as much dues money as possible. Rauner is intent on limiting the union’s power to force nonmembers to pay dues used to influence public policy through political donations. The (Champaign) News-Gazette

IT’S YOUR WRITE He told us to shop To the Editor: Just two weeks after the 9/11 attacks, President Bush told Americans to “get down to Disney World in Florida” and “take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be enjoyed.” So, on Feb. 8, I had to chuckle when Robert Meale wrote, “I wonder what President Obama would have said after 9/11 – ‘Don’t sweat it’?” Mr. Meale, I don’t deny you are a kind, loving man who cares deeply for this country and where it is going. However, it seems to me that commenting on topics such as 9/11, Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement, the Munich Agreement, Obama’s policy on tackling radicalism abroad, the global war on terror and fighting the Taliban and al-Qaida, in that order, all in one letter might be a bit, well, ambitious. Partisan critics such as Meale sometimes offer a rosy version of history as a lens to understand the problems we face today, and that is definitely important in any dialogue of world events. Yet, boiling narratives down in as simple terms as he does misses the overall com-

plexity past and present leaders faced when making decisions. More importantly, to those who do read the news and keep up with current events, please choose your media wisely. Please vet your sources. Please cross reference sources as you research. Challenge yourself; read liberal and conservative columnists.

Don’t forget lobbyists To the Editor: If Gov. Bruce Rauner feels the need to limit the influence unions have over their members, then he should also go after the lobbyists in the state House who influence our legislators. It is only fair. If unions cannot get dues from their members in order to work for their members, neither should lobbyists, who work for corporations, be allowed in the halls of our legislative bodies to give money to legislators to vote either for or against a certain bill.

No choice with measles To the Editor: Heather Klatt is an advocate for letting vaccination for measles be a matter of parental choice (“Vaccination should be a choice,” Feb. 11).

vaccinated. One might conclude your child is better off not getting vaccinated. But what about real facts? In a group of 100 children, five are not vaccinated. These are typical vaccination rates. A measles epidemic hits the school. Three of the vaccinated and two of the unvaccinated catch measles. Thus, her statistic of 60 percent is true. For the wise parent, your vaccinated child was one of a 95 of whom three got sick. For the misled parent, his child is one of the unvaccinated five of whom two got sick. In which group would a loving parent choose to place her child? Herm Faubl Huntley

Don’t let currency fear obstruct trade deals Both parties in Washington have coalesced on a common demon. They call it “currency manipulation,” and they’re busy designing bad policies to combat it. Congressmen want the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major free-trade deal, to include provisions against such manipulation. And they want to use the trade-promotion authority bill – which would make it easier for presidents to negotiate trade agreements – to require such provisions in future deals. These are bad ideas. Freetrade agreements enhance our wealth and that of other countries, and they’re less likely to be concluded if they’re tied to arguments about currencies. The congressmen argue other countries, especially China, are intentionally cheapening their currencies against the dollar, boosting their exports to the U.S., and reducing imports of American goods. They say this is a form of protectionism that is costing American jobs. And they want to retaliate by jacking up taxes on imports from the offending countries. One weakness of this case is you can’t draw a straight line from another country’s weak

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru currency to its trade balance to harm to Americans, as my American Enterprise Institute colleague Derek Scissors has pointed out. Philip Levy, who studies global economics for the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, said currency manipulation can’t be compared to the classical case of protectionism: Either a country is levying tariffs on some American products or it isn’t. Currency manipulation, by contrast, is in the eye of the beholder. There is no objective measure of what value a currency should have. The idea that countervailing duties can offset currency manipulation also is flawed. Because economists disagree on whether currency manipulation is happening in particular instances, and to what degree it’s happening, it isn’t clear how high this duty should be set. Dan Ikenson, a trade-policy analyst at the Cato Institute, noted if the duty is set too high, the effect will be to distort trade rather than to eliminate a distortion. He

also said a duty can’t do anything by itself to boost American exports to the offending country. (It can help U.S. exporters only if the pain it inflicts induces the foreign government to change its conduct.) Other countries have accused the U.S. of being a currency manipulator because of its monetary policy. They argued the Federal Reserve’s bondbuying program, which was halted last year, made the dollar cheaper and gave U.S. exporters an unfair advantage. How should governments distinguish between legitimate monetary policy and illegitimate currency interventions? Rep. Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the House committee that deals with trade policy, has tried to outline some criteria for identifying manipulators that wouldn’t make the U.S. into one. One assumes, though, that economic officials in other countries aren’t uniformly fools and would realize these criteria are rigged. Why would they accept an agreement that lets the U.S. devalue its currency but exposes them to sanctions if they do the same? Weak as the case is for punishing alleged manipulators, it

commands strong support. In the last Congress, 230 representatives and 60 senators signed letters demanding action. It may be, then, there’s no way to get Congress to pass the trade-promotion authority bill or to agree to the Trans-Pacific Partnership without responding to this demand. In that case, Congress should move forward with those two bills, then introduce a separate one getting tough on whatever it decides to count as manipulation. A bill like that would include arbitrary criteria and do very little to boost employment. It might very well face challenges at the World Trade Organization. And implementing it would be a headache for the Commerce Department, since every company facing competition from a country deemed to be a manipulator would want to slap duties on their competitors. But at least we wouldn’t be making this nonsense a roadblock to reaching a deal that helps all of us. • Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist, is a senior editor for National Review and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Jeb: U.S. must ‘tighten noose’ in fight against IS The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday there can be no diplomacy with Islamic State militants, but only a U.S.-led coalition of Middle Eastern countries committed to “tightening the noose and taking them out.” In a wide-ranging speech outlining his vision of America’s place in the world, part of the Republican’s run-up toward a likely campaign for president in 2016, Bush laid the rise of the Islamic State group at the feet of President Barack Obama. He also made his most overt criticisms to date of his brother’s adminis-

tration, telling the audience of several hundred people, “I am my own man.” “My views are shaped by my own thinking and own experiences,” Bush said at an event hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. “Each president learns from those who came before – their principles, their adjustments.” “There were mistakes made in Iraq, for sure,” during President George W. Bush’s administration, Bush said during a question-and-answer session that followed his 20-minute speech. He said intelligence about Saddam Hussein’s possession of weapons of mass destruction was not accurate and

the U.S. initially failed to create an environment of security in the country after removing the Iraqi leader from power. But Bush praised his older brother’s decision to “surge” troops into Iraq in 2007, which added about 20,000 troops to American forces in the country in an effort to improve security. He called it “one of the most heroic acts of courage politically” of any president, given the weak support for that strategy in Congress. Bush raised the criticisms of his brother without prompting, and used them was a way to critique Obama’s handling of the Middle East. He said Obama failed to maintain

what he called a fragile but stable security situation that his brother left behind in Iraq upon leaving office in 2009. Had he done so, Obama “would not have allowed the void to be filled” by Islamic State militants who now control large parts of Iraq and Syria. He said there can be no discussions with the group, which has drawn condemnation for carrying out regular acts of violence, often on video, that includes beheadings. “We have to develop a strategy that’s local, that takes them out,” Bush said. “There’s no talking about this. That’s just not going to work for terrorism.”

Obama: IS doesn’t speak for all The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Muslims in the U.S. and around the world have a responsibility to fight a misconception that terrorist groups like the Islamic State speak for them, President Barack Obama said Wednesday in his most direct remarks yet about any link between Islam and terrorism. For weeks, the White House has sidestepped the question of whether deadly terror attacks in Paris and other Western cities amount to “Islamic extremism,” wary of offending a major world religion or lending credibility to the “war on terror” that Obama’s predecessor waged. But as he hosted a White House summit on countering violent extremism, the president said some in Muslim communities have bought into the notion that Islam is incompatible with tolerance and modern life. “We are not at war with Islam,” Obama said. “We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.” While putting the blame on IS and similar groups – Obama said the militants masquerade as religious leaders but are really terrorists – the president also appealed directly to prominent Muslims to do more to dis-

tance themselves from brutal ideologies. He said all have a duty to “speak up very clearly” in opposition to violence against innocent people. “Just as leaders like myself reject the notion that terrorists like ISIL genuinely represent Islam, Muslim leaders need to do more to discredit the notion that our nations are determined to suppress Islam,” Obama said. Issuing such a direct challenge to Muslims marked a clear departure from the restrained, cautious language

Obama and his aides have used to describe the situation in the past. In the days after last month’s shootings at a satirical French newspaper that had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, Obama avoided calling the attack an example of “Islamic extremism,” and instead opted for the more generic “violent extremism.” Recently, the White House also struggled to explain whether the U.S. believes the Afghan Taliban to be a terrorist organization.

The refusal to directly assess any Islamic role in the terrifying scenes playing out in Europe, the Mideast and Africa has drawn criticism from those who say Obama has prioritized political correctness over a frank acknowledgment of reality. National security hawks, in particular, argued that Obama’s counterterrorism strategy couldn’t possibly be successful if the president was unable or unwilling to confront the true nature of the threat.

Disputed town falls to Ukrainian rebels The ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTEMIVSK, Ukraine – Government soldiers pulled out of a ferociously contested railway hub in eastern Ukraine Wednesday, ending a siege so intense the retreating troops said they couldn’t get water or food amid relentless shelling by Russian-backed separatists. At least six soldiers were killed in the withdrawal and more than 100 wounded. President Petro Poroshenko sought to portray the fall

of Debaltseve in a positive light, saying the pullback was carried out “in a planned and organized manner,” despite assertions by exhausted and dirt-caked soldiers, some of whom made their way out on foot, that their forces suffered heavy losses. No matter the circumstances, the retreat appeared to be an acceptance by the Ukrainian leader of a humiliating defeat in exchange for a chance at pushing a shaky truce agreement forward and

securing the pullback of heavy weapons. The loss of Debaltseve was a serious setback for the army. The town is a strategic railroad junction that lies on the most direct route between the separatist east’s two major cities, Donetsk and Luhansk. By taking control of it, rebels gain significant transportation connections to boost their regions’ capacity to function as a unified entity. Its strategic importance kept the battle raging even

after a cease-fire between Ukrainian forces and the Russia-backed rebels went into effect Sunday and appeared to be mostly holding elsewhere after fighting that has killed more than 5,600 people since April. Relinquishing the town could remove the major impediment to a lasting ceasefire and begin the next step that was agreed to in a peace deal last week – the pullback of heavy weapons by both sides to create a buffer zone at least 30 miles wide.

BRIEFS UIUC accepts more in-state students for fall URBANA – The University of Illinois says it accepted more students this year in an effort to have more in-state freshmen. The News-Gazette reported the state’s flagship campus in Champaign-Urbana accepted 22,267 applicants for the fall. That’s more than the 20,040 who were accepted last year. Spokeswoman Robin Kaler said a “substantial” portion of the 11 percent increase was Illinois residents. About 71 percent of this year’s freshman class is from Illinois.

The construction equipment company said it received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois last month that asked for financial information. Caterpillar said it is cooperating with the investigation and that it should not affect its business or finances. Last year, a congressional report said the Peoria-based company avoided paying $2.4 billion in U.S. taxes since 2000 by shifting profits overseas. At the time, Caterpillar said it followed all tax laws. It is unclear if the current investigation is related to the report.

Fla. has highest number of health law enrollees FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Florida has eclipsed California to become the state with the

highest number of consumers buying health insurance in both the state and federal exchange under the Affordable Care Act. Federal health officials said Wednesday that Florida’s roughly 1.6 million enrollees includes both first time enrollees and some of the nearly 1 million Floridians who enrolled last year. California led the country last year with 1.2 million consumers, but lagged behind this year with a total of 1.4 million – 300,000 fewer than the state’s goal. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 3.8 million of Florida’s 19.5 million residents were without health insurance, making it the third-highest in the nation at 19.5 percent. By comparison, 6.5 million of California’s nearly 38 million residents were without health insurance, about 17 percent.

Rockford woman charged after ramming squad car ROCKFORD – A Rockford Police Department squad car had to be towed away after a woman rammed it twice with her car. Police charged 21-year-old Julia Jensen of Rockford with domestic battery, aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, no insurance and leaving the scene of a crash following the incident late Tuesday at a gas station. The Rockford Register Star reported a man had called police saying his girlfriend was intoxicated and struck him in the head while she was driving. When the officer arrived, the woman’s Toyota Camry sedan struck a parked car, then rammed the front of the squad car, backed up, then rammed it a second time. The driver then parked the Camry. The officer wasn’t injured.

But Madelyne Johnson – who scored a game-high 17 points – hit a pair of free throws with 1:37 left, then Bailey Gilbert got a steal that led to a putback for Johnson and a six-point lead with 1:18 left. Hampshire had two more chanc-

es to score with the deficit at six but couldn’t connect. “They ran some stuff we just couldn’t stop,” Hampshire coach Mike Featherly said. “Loose balls were theirs. We just couldn’t get that lucky break, or couldn’t create our lucky break. We played well though. They played with effort as they did all year.” Johnson missed all but 55 seconds of the third quarter for Sycamore – plus 3:49 of the second quarter – with foul trouble. But the Spartans (25-3) built their lead from 21-15 at half to 36-27 after three, in large part because of 12 points from Gilbert, who scored 13 in the game. Featherly said his team could have done better defensively during Johnson’s absence.

Johnsburg hadn’t scored for almost four minutes and Elmwood Park had closed to within five before Interrante hit a 3-pointer with 4:39 left in the second quarter. The basket made it 17-9 and started a 7-0 run.

Skyhawks’ Johns leads all scorers with 15 points in win By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com ELMWOOD PARK – Whether it was the week off since their last game, the hour-anda-half drive or a lack of postseason experience, Johnsburg girls basketball coach Brad Frey wasn’t sure, but he knew his team didn’t start Wednesday’s Class 3A Elmwood Park Regional semifinal the way he would have liked. After a slow first couple minutes, however, the Skyhawks gained control and beat Elmwood Park, 58-36. Johnsburg advances to

face Regina Dominican in the regional final at 7 p.m. Thursday, at Elmwood Park High School. “We haven’t played in a lot of meaningful postseason games in the last three or four years. I mean we’ve been down, and so I’m not sure they knew what to expect,” Frey said. “Coming almost into the city, it was a long ride. It took them a while. Hopefully, tomorrow we’ll get here really early, get the 3-point contest out of the way and they’ll be a little bit more ready to go.” Against Elmwood Park’s zone defense, the Skyhawks

The hosts didn’t make a field goal until the final six second of the quarter and Johnsburg led, 14-5, after the first. “We kind of wanted to force the tempo and we’re really good when we run,” Frey said. Johnsburg extended the lead to 33-16 by halftime and then 50-24 when Johns hit a 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer. Elmwood Park started the fourth quarter with an 11-0 run but could not get closer than within 15. The Tigers (5-24) were led by Ariana Kelley’s 14 points.

Cary-Grove upsets Prairie Ridge in 2nd semifinal • GRANT REGIONAL Continued from page C1 A desperation heave from Sangster went long at the buzzer, and South (21-8) advances to play Cary-Grove in the regional championship at 7 p.m. Friday. “I didn’t even really notice where I was,” Fanter said. “I was just kind of like, push up, get my shot off and see if it goes in or not. I knew my teammates we’re going to crash to boards either way.” Fanter, who had a gamehigh 22 points, might not have had the chance if not for an injury that allowed Gators coach Mark Mucha to call the play in the first place. After Sangster missed her first free throw, the refs noticed a cut on her finger and Grant was forced to call a timeout. The Bulldogs led by as much as five with 4:50 remaining, but Fanter kept the Gators in it with nine points in the fourth. Her game-winning 3 was the only time South led in the second half. Kianna Clark added 12 points and five rebounds for South, and Sevcik had nine.

Kelly Klendworth finished with a team-high 14 points for Prairie Ridge (18-12), but left with 3:14 remaining in the fourth after her right knee buckled. She finishes her four-year varsity career with more wins than any player in the program’s history, Wolves coach Rob Baker said. “We’re so proud of these kids, they fought through more injuries and sicknesses,” Rod Baker said. “To be down 10-0 and fight back, and be in the game, [C-G] is a good team.

Crystal Lake Central’s Marsden heads group of 10 with state experience • STATE WRESTLING Continued from page C1 On the experienced side, there are 10 state place-winners from last season making another run at a state title. Crystal Lake Central’s Andrew Marsden leads that group after winning state at 195 last season. Marsden (195) has not been beaten this season and is entering state as a favorite. That was not the case last season when he lost to Montini’s Anthony Ferrero in the Lakes Sectional final. He then came back to beat Ferraro with a first-period pin to win the state championship. “I’m the top dog right now,”

Marsden said. “I was the underdog last year. I know that feeling.” Dundee-Crown’s Christian Brunner (195) lost in the state final a year ago after upsetting Marist’s Alex Benoit in the semifinal. Brunner’s only loss this season was to Marsden in the FVC final, and he won’t go unnoticed this year at state. “I try not to let the pressure get to me,” Brunner said. “It’s definitely harder with a target on your back.” Crystal Lake South senior Eric Barone (145) won the Barrington Sectional and is looking for his first state title after finishing fifth last year. He said he’s been working a long time to achieve that goal.

“(State) is everything in my entire life that I’ve been training for,” Barone said. “That’s what truly matters.” Also returning as state place-winners are Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny Petersen (126), Michael Petersen (138), Logan Lundelius (145) and Romeo McKnight (220); Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton (126) and Grant Sutton (132); and Marian Central’s Nick Remke (152). Also returning is Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski, who placed third in 2013. Senior Grant Sutton has been a place-winner three times and came closest to winning last year when he took second.

He should take some inspiration from Marsden after getting his first loss of the season against Montini’s Dylan Duncan in the Antioch Sectional final. His cousin Cameron Kennedy also lost in the sectional final to Montini’s Jordan Laster in 2013 before coming back to beat Laster in the state championship match. Cullen, a senior, also has placed at state each of his previous three trips and is looking to be atop the podium Saturday. But winning or losing, Cullen said, will not change the impact wrestling has had Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com on his life. “I’ve made a lot of good Cary-Grove’s Michael Gomez walks off the mat after beating Barmemories,” Cullen said. “I owe rington’s Alex Zentner during the 285-pound match of the Class 3A Barrington Sectional on Saturday in Barrington. Gomez won, 5-2. a lot to the sport.”

NFL SCOUTING COMBINE: BEARS

Marshall does not appear to fit in plan Safe to assume Cutler focused on staying put INDIANAPOLIS – Ryan Pace still has that look of the kid in the candy store, but the carriage that tells you he’s a man with a plan. One thing he’s perfected in his first month on the job as the Bears’ general manager is the ability to look you in the eye and make you feel as if he gets your job and that you matter, and then to respectfully answer your question without telling you a thing. It’s an NFL executive deal. It can drive you nuts, but the good ones all have it. It’s been clear since Pace was hired that he will have final say over the Bears’ final 53-man roster. Sure, he’ll do all he can to agree with coach John Fox and others, but at the end of the day, it’ll be all about Pace. The first two decisions he has to make that will shape many of the rest are about the futures of quarterback Jay Cutler and receiver Brandon Marshall. It sounds to me as if he knows he is either stuck with or lucky to have Cutler. “We have gotten to meet with [Cutler], we’ve met with several of our players individually, with him being one,” Pace said Wednesday at the NFL combine. “So far it’s been good. “We’re going to take our time on this, we really have until mid-March, we’re going to maximize that time and make thorough decisions through this whole process.” Pace also said, “There’s a lot we see on tape, obviously, but there’s things we want to

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

More online Follow our Bears coverage leading up to the NFL draft (April 30 through May 2 in Chicago) at ChicagoFootball.com. know more about the player.” It seems obvious to me that if Cutler were gone, getting to know him would be a waste of valuable time. It also is worth noting Pace confirmed he had a meeting with quarterback Josh McCown on Wednesday. “I’ve known him over the years. We did meet with him this morning. I’ve always respected him as a person, an individual and also as a player.” Asked if he was meeting with him as a potential starter or backup, Pace responded with his best Cheshire Cat grin, “I think he can be either.” C’mon, after the fiasco in Tampa last season, would anyone project McCown as a starter? But his career did peak as Cutler’s backup, best buddy and personal life coach. It just feels as if the Cutler plan is one last whack at reclamation, because of circumstances out of desperation or a hope that the Lotto can be won. Marshall on the other hand seems to be headed for the plank. “We met with him like

a lot of individual players and that’s going to be a slow process and we look forward to evaluating that,” Pace said. “Sometimes these reputations outside the building, you get inside and it’s not what you expected and I think we need to make our own decisions and our own judgments.” Fair enough, but Pace also added, “There are a lot of things that happen with every NFL team. And, obviously, those are things that occurred and we’re analyzing that and researching those things. I know this, football needs to be the No. 1 priority, and we’re going to win a lot of games if we keep football our No. 1 priority.” Does it strike anyone else that Marshall’s recent lobbying of at least one team in Baltimore for a job that included his weekly in-season TV hosting adventures halfway across the country might not fit that description? So why is this taking so long? Pace explained, “I look at it like this: This is unique, us getting here together right now, the whole entire staff. I feel like there is a time frame. I don’t want to not acknowledge that. There is a time frame. But I think it is intelligent and smart of us to utilize that entire time and be thorough with all these decisions.” Fair enough, and how interesting is it that Cutler has gone underground, we assume focused on a possible future with the Bears, while Marshall is out and about working on everything but Pace’s No. 1 priority?

Brass noncommittal on veterans Briggs, Tillman By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com INDIANAPOLIS – Ryan Pace and John Fox don’t have to worry about being known as the general manager and head coach who cut Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, but they might be the regime that doesn’t re-sign the longtime Bears. Briggs will be 35 in November and has finished the past two seasons on injured reserve. Tillman turns 34 Monday and is coming off his second straight season-ending triceps injury. Both players have expressed a desire to

keep playing, but will it be in Chicago? “We’ve talked to those guys. They’re great Chicago Bears. We’re still going through that,” Pace said Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “Just like all the other guys, Lance Briggs we’ve talked to them. And again, it’s a slow process. But we recognize great Chicago Bears, and that’s going to be a big decision for us.” Fox also showed his respect for what Briggs and Tillman

have contributed to the franchise, but provided no indication of whether he wants either back with his new defense. “I think any time you come to an organization and there’s been guys like a Charles Tillman, Lance Briggs, they’ve been great Bears and they’ve accomplished a lot,” he said. “They’ve done a lot for our organization, our football team as well as our city, and so going forward, I think you know sometimes, you just evaluate, but I would like to preface it by saying they’ve been great Bears and they’ve got our ownership’s and our organization’s deepest respect.”

Hawks drop thriller in shootout

Armstrong pleads guilty to careless driving

Quenneville’s crew has quick answers for Red Wings’ goals By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – There were no goals for 36 minutes. Then two goals in 39 seconds. Then no goals for 21 minutes. Then two goals in 46 seconds, both banked in off opponents. The Blackhawks and Red Wings have played 729 times now. There couldn’t have been too many quite like this one. The only shame of it was that it had to be decided by a shootout.

Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar scored in the shootout to lift the Red Wings to a 3-2 victory after a riveting 65 minutes of play between two Stanley Cup contenders. Only Jonathan Toews scored for the Hawks; Patrick Kane hit the crossbar and Patrick Sharp was stopped by Jimmy Howard. “I think it was an all-around great effort,” Kris Versteeg said. “Sometimes you lose in the shootout. That’s just the way it is.”

It was Versteeg’s goal with 1:23 left in the third period that eventually sent the game into overtime, and allowed the Hawks to extend their point streak to seven games. “We’re battling back,” Kane said. “You’re down Patrick Kane 2-1 and you get points, it’s not a bad thing, necessarily.” With zero first-period goals in the first four games of this homestand, the focus entering the game was on the start. There were no complaints about the Hawks’ start in this

one, but there also were no goals. Despite outshooting the Red Wings 17-6 in the first, and despite camping out in the Detroit zone for a nearly four-minute stretch that included one of their best power plays of the season, the Hawks entered the first intermission still tied 0-0. Frustrating? A little. But more encouraging than anything. “It’s the start we’ve been looking for for a long time, so it was good,” Kane said. “If you play that way, more often than not you’re going to come out with a couple of goals, especially with our team.” The stalemate continued

in the second period, with Andrew Shaw shooting over an open net from the doorstep, and Jonathan Toews’ wraparound skittering along the length of the goal line but not going in. Then, suddenly, Tatar and Brandon Saad traded goals 39 seconds apart. Detroit controlled play for much of the third, and finally broke through against Corey Crawford (26 saves) with 2:06 left, as Darren Helm’s backhander hit Brent Seabrook’s knee and went in. But the Hawks got it right back in poetic fashion, as Versteeg’s shot hit Niklas Kronwall and got past Howard (32 saves) to salvage a point for the Hawks.

JEROME KERSEY: 1962-2015

Ex-Blazers forward Kersey dead at 52

Players feeling refreshed

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. – Jerome Kersey, the versatile small forward who helped the Portland Trail Blazers reach two NBA Finals and won a title with the San Antonio Spurs in 1999, died Wednesday. He was 52. The Trail Blazers confirmed Wednesday night that Kersey died, but didn’t provide details. A team ambassador, Kersey appeared Tuesday with fellow former Blazers Terry Porter and Brian Grant at a Portland school in celebration of Black History Month. Kersey averaged 10.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 17 seasons in the NBA with Portland, Golden State, the Los Angeles Lakers, Seattle, San Antonio and Milwaukee. He helped the Blazers reach the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992, playing alongside Porter, Clyde Drexler, Kevin Duckworth and Buck Williams. The former Longwood University star had his best season in 1987-88, averaging 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds. Kersey played in 1,153 regular-season games, also averaging 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals. Kersey ranks second on Portland’s career games list with 831, third in minutes played at 21,400, second in rebounds with 5,078, third steals with 1,059, and fifth in points with 10,067. At 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, “No Mercy” Kersey had a broad smile and a warm manner that made him a fan fa-

Kersey, the small forward who played his first 11 NBA seasons with the Blazers and helped the San Antonio Spurs win the 1999 title, died Wednesday. He was 52. vorite. Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard posted to Twitter: “Spoke to him regularly about life and the ups and downs of a NBA season. Gone too soon, much love!” Others who posted their condolences included Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter. Kersey retired from basketball in 2001. He was an assistant coach with Milwaukee in 2004-05 under Porter. At Longwood, a Division II school in Farmville, Virginia, Kersey averaged 17 points and 11.3. He was a second-round pick by the Blazers in the 1984 draft.

By HERB GOULD hgould@suntimes.com Refreshed by the All-Star break, the Bulls got back together Wednesday night, looking forward to being healthy for the last 28 games of the regular season. Derrick Rose missed practice because of an unspecified ‘‘travel issue.’’ But the team, which is 13-3 when it has its regular starting five (Rose, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah), should have Rose back at practice Thursday. And, most important, the Bulls would like to be healthy when they resume play on the road Friday against the Detroit Pistons. ‘‘That’s what we’re hoping for,’’ coach Tom Thibodeau said after practice at the Advocate Center. ‘‘It hasn’t been that way the whole season. Right now, we hopefully have an opportunity to move forward with everyone. What that allows you to do is improve in all areas and build continuity. The practice component is critical for us. That’s really the only way you can improve.’’ Although everyone at practice did everything, the Bulls still have their bumps and bruises. But Thibodeau was especially pleased with Butler, who’s working through a right shoulder strain. ‘‘He was great,’’ Thibodeau said. ‘‘He looked really good. He did everything in practice, scrimmaged well, was attacking. So he looks good.’’

Bulls forward Jimmy Butler tries to maintain control of the ball in the first half of a game against the Rockets on Feb. 4 in Houston. Kirk Hinrich also is trying to shake a lingering turf-toe injury. ‘‘I feel refreshed,’’ Hinrich said. ‘‘The toe’s feeling much better. I’ve had the toe issue for a long time. This year, all year, it’s been a little bit worse. Over the last month and a half, it’s been getting pretty bad. But I’ll see how I feel tomorrow. Hopefully I play Friday.’’ Healthy or not, the Bulls think they can achieve the productive finish they crave. ‘‘We have a lot of confi-

dence,’’ Butler said, ‘‘with the group of guys that we have when everyone’s healthy. But even when guys are out, I think we’re confident in the guys we have. Thibs is always saying we have enough to win. We’ve got a deep team, a team full of NBA players.’’ When healthy, Thibodeau will have some decisions to make about playing time. As always, though, he is a man with a plan. ‘‘You base it on performance,’’ Thibodeau said. ‘‘If a guy’s playing well, obviously he plays. If he’s not, you look at what the season tells you. Look at Mike [Dunleavy], for example. We’re 25-10 when he plays. With Hinrich, when he plays 30-plus minutes, I think we’re 11-5. You look at everything.’’ Butler is certainly attracting a lot of looks. Coming off of his first All-Star appearance, he has been given a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which tabbed him the NBA’s ‘‘unlikely breakout star’’ in its midseason report. There should be no worries, though, about Butler getting full of himself. ‘‘When I was a little kid, I just wanted to go to college,’’ said Butler, the pride of Tomball, Texas. ‘‘I wasn’t thinking about this lifestyle, being on the cover of anything, All-Star, playing with any of the guys I’m playing with. I just wanted to get my college degree.’’ With the season he’s having, his Marquette sheepskin might have to make room in the den for a fair amount of basketball hardware.

ASPEN, Colo. – Lance Armstrong pleaded guilty to careless driving for hitting two parked cars with his SUV in Aspen, a crash his girlfriend originally tried to take the blame for, a prosecutor confirmed Wednesday. The cyclist entered his plea by mail Friday under a plea agreement with prosecutors, closing the case and avoiding a court appearance. Two other charges, failing to report an accident and speeding too fast for conditions, were dismissed under the agreement, which was first reported by the Aspen Daily News. Court records show Armstrong paid $238.50 to cover court fees and a $150 traffic fine.

Patrick to a backup car after wreck in practice Danica Patrick and Denny Hamlin wrecked during Daytona 500 practice Wednesday. Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet suffered enough damage that she was forced to switch to a backup car and will have to start at the back of the field in the second of two qualifying races Thursday. Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota was repairable. Patrick and Hamlin started the pileup by making contact coming out of the second turn. Casey Mears, Michael Annett and Jeb Burton also were involved.

Witness: After killing, Hernandez said endorsements are gone FALL RIVER, Mass. – New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez matter-of-factly told witnesses his endorsement days were over, according to testimony Wednesday from his fiancée’s uncle, who said the conversation happened a day after a slaying Hernandez eventually would be charged in. Azia Jenkins was called to the stand in Hernandez’s murder trial by prosecutor William McCauley, who asked him what happened June 18, 2013. Odin Lloyd’s body had been found the day before in an industrial park not far from Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough. Lloyd had been dating Shaneah Jenkins, the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée, Shayanna. – Wire reports

Eisbrener deserves proper sendoff into retirement There has been a lot of discussion about the changing of the guard in 2015 at the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. In addition to a new director and other key offices being filled, there were a number of retirements announced at the Springfield level. I have to admit that I totally was remiss in failing to report a 2014 IDNR retirement that was a large loss to the hunters, fishermen and outdoor lovers of northern Illinois. Ray Eisbrener, district wildlife biologist from the Chain O’ Lakes office, left the DNR in August. Eisbrener left to minimal public fanfare and that is unfortunate because he is a true friend to all who enjoy outdoor recreation in our area and his contriRay Eisbrener butions to northern Illinois should be trumpeted and appreciated. Eisbrener is a Richmond resident who lives there with Laurel, his wife of 40 years. They met while attending Western Illinois University where he majored in zoology and minored in botany. They moved to McHenry County and raised two children, Lee and Anna. Ray joined the IDNR and began his career as a watch attendant, checking permits at Chain O’ Lakes State Park. He spent 15 years in the parks department before becoming a district wildlife biologist, first in Des Plaines and then in Spring Grove. His responsibility was to cover the needs of Lake, McHenry, Boone and Kane counties for the next 20 years. Eisbrener’s job with IDNR was varied and challenging. He managed hunting programs. He worked with groups such as Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and National Wild Turkey Federation in the areas of habitat restoration and woodlands implementation. He dealt with nuisance wildlife issues and had to handle issues of endangered species. His responsibilities included doing population surveys of an average of 10 wildlife species a year. Eisbrener worked with public education. He organized public meetings on wildlife issues. He gave presentations to schools, scouting groups and conservation groups. He ran the lotteries for hunting permits in our area. He was heavily connected to the public and spent three days a week in the office and two in the field. Much of his office time was spent in communication with the public. One function Eisbrener said

Compulsive shoplifter knows it’s wrong, but just can’t stop Dear Abby: I need help. I have shoplifted several times. I was caught and have a police record. I am a grandparent. I know it’s wrong, and I don’t do it all the time. Is this a mental disorder, or am I just being stupid? If I know this is wrong, why do I keep doing it? And where do I start to look for help? – Sticky Fingers Dear Sticky Fingers: Some people shoplift because they are criminals, some do it for “thrills” and others do it to make up for something else that is missing in their lives. Because you know what you are doing is wrong, would like

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to understand your compulsion and want to stop, the person to discuss this with is a psychologist. Your physician can refer you to one, or contact your state psychological association to find someone in your area. Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I have called it quits after three years. Distance was the main reason. It wasn’t a bad breakup, but it’s still a difficult

transition for both of us. She would rather we not see or speak to each other for a while to let things heal. Her birthday is coming up soon, and I don’t feel right not acknowledging it. Her special day means a lot to her, and I still love and respect her for who she is. Is sending a card and gift appropriate, or should I just leave her be? – Distance

Don’t make energy drinks a daily habit Dear Dr. K: I have two kids and a high pressure job. I’m always exhausted. Lately, I’ve been drinking an energy drink in the afternoon to get through the day. My husband thinks this is dangerous. Is he right? Dear Reader: I’m sure many readers can relate to the mid-afternoon slump. It’s no wonder energy drinks and shots have become the fastest-growing category in the beverage industry. What gives energy drinks their jolt is good old-fashioned caffeine. It occurs naturally in coffee, tea, cocoa and chocolate, and is added to energy drinks and some soft drinks. Caffeine is a stimulant. When you consume a food or drink that contains it, your brain cells fire messages more quickly, improving concentration and reaction time. The heart pumps blood faster and more forcefully, increasing your physical energy. People who regularly consume caffeine develop a tolerance for it – they need to keep increasing their intake to get the same effect. People can become so dependent on caffeine they feel rundown when they don’t get enough. Energy drinks can contain up to 242 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a serving. In comparison, a 5- to 8-ounce cup of coffee contains roughly 100 mg of caffeine. A 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola has 50 mg. Most energy drinks also contain lots of sugar. Together with the caffeine, this can lead to a jolt of energy and then a crash (just like eating a candy bar). Energy drinks also contain a mix of herbs and other substances that are marketed as “energy boosters,” though they haven’t actually been proven to increase energy. Many people have reported negative reactions after consuming energy drinks,

No Problem In Colorado Dear No: Could this be a telltale warning sign of a budding bridezilla? Your daughter appears to be making a problem where none exists. If your husband and son will stay at a different resort, they might as well be back in the states. That they are in Mexico shouldn’t inconvenience or inhibit your daughter at all.

Happy New Year to my Asian readers: The Lunar New Year begins today. This year is the year of the goat. People born in the year of the goat are gentle, serene, calm and mildmannered. They are creative, persevering, resilient and possess excellent defensive skills. They prefer to be in groups and work in teams and, I am told, they can be flirtatious. A happy, healthy and prosperous new year to all who celebrate it. – Love, Abby • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff including heart palpitations, chest pain, high blood pressure, anxiety, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting and flushing. Here’s the bottom line: If you need a quick surge of energy, it’s OK to have an occasional energy drink – no more than one a day. But this shouldn’t be a daily or long-term practice. If you’re dragging, it’s far better to drink a single cup of coffee or tea. Better yet, try these proven nutritional, exercise and lifestyle strategies to help you feel more energized: • Eat small meals and snacks every few hours rather than three large meals a day. • Drink plenty of water. • Exercise regularly. • Get a good night’s sleep. • Reduce stress with relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. As you’ve heard me say more than once in this column: Most food or drink that’s unhealthy when used regularly is OK to consume occasionally. That’s surely true of energy drinks. Unfortunately, most of my patients who have turned to increasingly available energy drinks in recent years do not use them just occasionally. The drinks tend to become a crutch, a habit. If that’s happened with you, I’d strongly urge you to slowly scale back the number of energy drinks you consume each week, with a goal of getting below one a week.

My husband and I have never been to Mexico and thought, “Why not kill two birds with one stone?” Because I’m afraid of flying, I want my husband and son also to go to Mexico, but stay at a different resort.

COURT DELAYS HEARING ON COMMUNITY SERVICE BY LOHAN

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, February 19, 2015 • Section C • Page 8

LOS ANGELES – A court has delayed a hearing on concerns about community serve done by Lindsay Lohan as part of her sentence in a reckless driving case. A judge in Santa Monica, California, postponed the session set for Wednesday after a city prosecutor called in sick. The concerns involve inquiries by the prosecutor about Lohan’s service with a London charity. The actress was ordered to complete 240 hours of community service as part of the 2012 case. Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White said at a hearing last month that he had questions about Lohan’s service that included arranging meet-and-greets with disadvantaged children at her London performances of “Speed-the-Plow.”

Lupita Nyong’o accepts the award for best actress in a supporting role for “12 Years a Slave” during the Oscars on March 2 in Los Angeles.

Oscar spotlight draws focus to industry diversity issue NEW YORK – It was a year ago that Lupita Nyong’o, shortly before winning the Academy Award for best supporting actress, gave a speech about what she called “dark beauty.” The Mexican-born, Kenyan-raised actress was a central part last year to an Academy Awards flush with faces uncommon to the Oscar podium. There was Ellen DeGeneres, a proud lesbian, hosting. There was the first Latino, Alfonso Cuaron, winning best director. There was the black filmmaker Steve McQueen hopping for joy after his “12 Years a Slave” won best picture. What a difference a year makes. This year’s Oscars repeat a stubborn pattern that has plagued the Academy Awards throughout its history: Whenever change seems to come, a frustrating hangover follows. “Every 10 years, we have the same conversation,” Spike Lee, a regular witness to the sporadic progress, has said. A year after Chris Rock hosted the 2005 awards show, which featured nods for Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle, Jamie Foxx and Sophie Okonedo, the ’06 nominees followed with only Terrence Howard. Seldom have such fits and starts been starker than this Oscars, coming a year after a richly diverse Oscar crop. In Sunday’s Academy Awards, all 20 acting nominees are white, a result that prompted some to declare they would boycott this year’s ceremony.

Home-heating energy saving infographic Energy savers cut heating bills

By Gina Kraman The government cares about your home heating bills, and provides numerous resources to educate consumers to make wise choices. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) tackles money- plus resource-saving issues in its online “Energy Saver 101” series at Energy.gov. The DOE’s mission is “to strive to ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions.” The largest energy expense in an average U.S. home is heating, accounting for 45% of the home’s energy bill.

LANTANA, Fla. –Vanilla Ice has been charged with breaking into and stealing from an abandoned home that is in foreclosure in Florida. Police in the Palm Beach County town of Lantana said the recording artist and home improvement-show host had been renovating a home next to the victim’s house. They said in a news release that some of the items were found at his property. Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, rose to fame following the 1990 release of the hit song “Ice Ice Baby.” In recent years, he has hosted “The Vanilla Ice Project” on DIY Network. The 47-year-old Van Winkle was charged Wednesday with burglary of residence and grand theft and taken into custody.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Academy Award winner Michael Douglas will receive the George Eastman Award for his contributions to the film industry. The George Eastman House said Wednesday that the star of films including “Wall Street” and “Basic Instinct” will receive the award during a May 14 ceremony at the Dryden Theatre, followed by a black-tie gala at the Rochester museum dedicated to photography and motion picture. Douglas has produced and acted in more than 75 films and television series. He won one Oscar for best actor for 1987’s “Wall Street” and one for best film for co-producing “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” in 1975. The Eastman Award, established in 1955, is named for the photography innovator who founded Rochester-based Eastman Kodak.

2 Nicki Minaj tour members stabbed outside bar, 1 fatally

Police: Rapper Afroman punches female fan on stage

PHILADELPHIA – A fight and stabbing outside a bar early Wednesday left one member of Nicki Minaj’s tour dead and another in critical condition. The tour members had flown into Philadelphia for rehearsals two days earlier, Minaj wrote on Twitter. Police said the two men were stabbed in the city’s West Oak Lane section. They identified the man who died as Devon Pickett of New York City. The identity of the other man hadn’t been disclosed. Pickett, who was 29, suffered multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a hospital, police said. The other man, who’s 27, was stabbed in the left side and arm, they said. Police said the fight began when a man started arguing with the victims inside the bar at about 2 a.m. and pulled a knife once they got outside.

BILOXI, Miss. – Rapper Afroman punched a female fan on stage during a concert and was charged with simple assault, police said. Afroman, who is best known for his Grammy-nominated hit “Because I Got High,” was arrested Tuesday night and his show in Biloxi show was canceled. He was later released after posting $330 bond, said Biloxi Police Chief John Miller. A video posted online showed a girl dancing next to Afroman as he was playing guitar and him punching her, knocking her off her feet. The 40-year-old rapper, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, apologized on his Facebook page and later told TMZ that two girls had been dancing on stage and a man had been heckling him throughout the show. He said he thought the girls had left the stage, and when someone bumped him, he thought it was the man.

This device allows home temperatures to be pre-set, using less energy when the house is empty or people are sleeping, and more when residents are home and awake. Use space heaters, also called point-of-use heaters, to supplement heat in an individual room. To ensure safety, every home should have a carbon monoxide detector installed. In winter months, open your curtains during the day to naturally heat your home, and close them at night to retain warmth. Insulate your walls and attic to retain heat.

Dial down the temperature setting on your hot water heater to 120-degrees, from the factory setting of 140. Set ceiling fans to spin clockwise to blow the rising hot air down.

How you can finance your home improvement projects Many homeowners recognize that improving and maintaining a property makes a home more livable for its inhabitants and more attractive to prospective buyers when the time comes to erect a For Sale sign in the front yard. But a well-maintained home also provides additional benefits. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, home improvements not only raise the values of individual homes, but they tend to raise neighborhood standards as well. Home improvements can create jobs and help local communities flourish economically. Maintaining a home can be a costly undertaking. Home improvement projects can be expensive whether homeowners hire professionals or tackle renovation projects on their own. The following are a handful of options homeowners can consider as they look for ways to

Paying outright: Paying for the renovations upfront and in full is perhaps the simplest way to finance a project. Homeowners who have the cash to pay for renovations outright won’t have to worry about interest rates or balloon payments.

It’s possible to borrow a certain amount for the life of the loan, which is a set time specified by the lender. During this time, homeowners can withdraw money as it is needed up to the value of the line of credit. HELOCs typically have a variable interest rate that fluctuates and payments can vary depending on the amount of money borrowed and the current interest rates.

Individuals with excellent credit ratings may qualify for cards with a nointerest introductory periods of several months or more. These cards can be a good way to pay off moderate improvements in a short amount of time. Many home renovation projects require homeowners to develop a home improvement budget.

HOMElife Freshen up your home with 5 colors for the new year While you’re making resolutions and setting goals for the new year, consider adding updating the look of your home to your list. If your walls are looking a little dated, follow these five color suggestions to give your space a renewed look. To simplify the makeover process, Dutch Boy Paints has narrowed down its traditional annual color forecast selections to five top “Live Your Moment” hues. These are the colors you’ll be seeing in fashion, accessories and home decor in the coming year, so take your cue from pop culture and select from this up-to-theminute palette. You’ll be enjoying a new look in your home in no time. Brighten the bedroom The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your home, and it deserves a fresh look this year. Pair a subtle neutral shade like Faintest Idea (F25-4) with brights and whites for a balanced design, and snooze in style with quaint and quiet color. To complete the look, give your bed a fresh update with a new pintuck duvet cover. Accessorize with decorative pillows, curtains or rugs in shades of blue. Liven up your living space Why not dial up the color in your living room? This area of your home accommodates many visitors throughout the year and is likely where your family spends a great deal of your time. To create an inviting space, try a robust color like Teal Decadence (E41). When matched with natural wood finishes, organic shapes and soft, sophisticated tones, this color allows you to live a little but still maintains a

down-to-earth feel. Taste perfection If your eat-in kitchen or dining room could use a taste of color, look no further than Perfect Strawberry (A2-1). A rich red with attitude, this hue adds a fun, young flavor to any room. Use it liberally, but achieve balance by using a contrasting color with just as much abandon. Darker accent pieces, such as a hutch or buffet, as well as white cabinets, are great complements. Powder room blues Even the most casual half-bath can take on a sophisticated feel with the right wall color and accessories. A chic look starts with Biloxi Blues (E17-2) on the walls and repeated in key accessories like area rugs or hand towels. Finish the room by adding a new mirror to open up your space and other storage, such as open shelving, to minimize counter clutter. Re-work the working space If you’re in need of a quick overhaul of your home office, go for a confident, intense color like Coal Blue (E16-1). A strong, deep blue, this hue is proof that walls really do support the room. Combine with a single complementary hue in comfortable furnishings and accessories, and you’ll be finding excuses to work from home every day. Don’t let another year pass without refreshing the look of your home with these simple color recommendations. By choosing to “Live Your Moment” now, your home will be ready for years to come.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - An unusual approach to an old plan will help you find a solution to a pending concern. Money can be made if you market your talents to a diverse audience. Don’t pay too much attention to criticism. If you follow your intuition, you will find the right path. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You can achieve financial security. If you set up a savings plan, you will gain benefits quicker than you anticipate. Break bad habits and replace them with positive alternatives. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Put the brakes on the emotional roller coaster you are riding. Find something encouraging in every situation you face. Get details before making a commitment or decision that will be difficult to reverse. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Check out domestic products or services that could reduce your workload or increase your comfort level. Purge unwanted items and give them to the needy, or have a garage sale. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Accept an unexpected invitation to a social event if you want to meet someone who could influence your future. Offer insight into what you can do for others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t get stressed out over trivial matters. Pay close attention when operating machinery or hazardous equipment. A lack of focus will lead to an injury or mishap. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Find out more about your family background or community. Visit a library, scan social media or talk with people who have knowledge regarding your past. Get out and participate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s easy to fall into bad habits for the sake of convenience. You are what you eat, so put more effort into nutrition and diet if you want to look and feel great. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A close confidant will help provide you with a different perspective on a troubling issue. Family members will be oversensitive, so be encouraging and gentle to avoid discord. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t overlook the importance of getting along with your peers. Tension will be manageable if you are respectful and diplomatic. A tense atmosphere causes stress, and a hostile environment is counterproductive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You have been working too hard. Take time out and visit friends, or venture somewhere out of the ordinary. A new locale will offer inspiration and the push you need to further your goals. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone will be upset or offended by something you say or do. Proceed with caution and choose your words wisely to avoid a scene. Keeping the peace is in your best interest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are viewed as a valued friend and important ally. Partnerships and collaborative efforts will go smoothly today, due to your special insights and unique ideas.

MUSIC on a MISSION

YOUNG VIOLINISTS LEARN LIFE LESSONS IN MCHENRY NATIVE’S 4 STRINGS ATTACHED GROUP

| PlanIt Pl@y | Thursday, February 19, 2015 • PlanitNorthwest.com

| PlanIt Pl@y |

Story by CHRIS MORDI – editorial@shawmedia.com

deep love of music binds the 30 children of this “family” together. They practice. Hard. They play so well that they have been invited to perform in locations as far flung as Bulgaria and Mexico. But they are homeless. 4 Strings Attached is a group of children ages 4 to 18 years old who have a passion for playing the violin. McHenry resident and violin instructor Martin Lopez founded the group in 2004. While they have performed during the Columbus Day Parade in Chicago, for Secretary of State Jesse White and have been featured on NBC and ABC TV stations in Chicago, they still are without a permanent location where they can rehearse and perform.

Lead by Martin Lopez (bottom left), 4 Strings Attached is made up of children ages 4 to 18 years old who have a passion for playing the violin.

••• Lopez’ passion for 4 Strings Attached and using music to raise kids up comes from an experience he had when he was young and growing up “in a rough neighborhood” in Chicago. He was the third generation in his family to play the violin, but told his mother he no longer wanted to practice the five hours a day she demanded. “I told her I didn’t want to play anymore, and she told me to pick that violin back up,” he said. If it weren’t for the instrument, his mother’s insistence and his training at the prestigious Betty Haag Academy of Music in Buffalo Grove, he said he does not think he would be here today. “We need to invest in kids, in what they think and do and the potential they have,” he said. “We have the power to change lives.”

More than a music lesson The focus of 4 Strings Attached is to teach kids how to play their violins better and put them in situations that make them better performers, Lopez said. “I was trained in classical music,” he said. In his travels, though, he has learned to adapt the music he plays to his audience, and he imparts this his students. “When we went to Mexico, we couldn’t play Vivaldi or Bach,” Lopez said. “We had to play something of their culture.” He taught his student to perform mariachi music. And before their performance at The Smoky Mountain Cowboy Church in Pegeon Forge, Tennesee, he taught them to play the fiddle. “It opens children’s minds to other music. It opens the gates to world music,” he said. Lopez takes things even deeper than

the music. “I go beyond the violin,” he said. “I see myself teaching kids life learning lessons.” He tells his students to show respect to people in positions of authority, to say please and thank you. “I believe in teaching kids to speak for themselves, that the kids don’t need mom and dad to ask for things for them,” Lopez said. “If they have a problem, they have to come to me with it.” And, he said, they have to have a solution. “We also teach them to work as a team and to take criticism,” he said. “They learn how to get back up and dust themselves off after someone is critical. This also builds confidence.”

Finding a home Lopez has rehearsed his group when space is available at the Lakeside Leg-

acy Arts Park in Crystal Lake. They’ve also practiced in area nursing homes. A nonprofit, 4 Strings Attached is looking for a sponsor to provide permanent rehearsal space. In finding a home, Lopez’ ultimate goal is to “give the opportunity for these kids to experience the joy of music, the ability to travel and see different cultures.” “God willing, some kids will come back and take over 4 Strings Attached,” he said. “I would like to leave my legacy behind and continue my teachings, which would go on for generations.” To learn more about 4 Strings Attached, visit www.4stringsattached.org. Upcoming repertories, open to the public, are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m Feb. 28 and March 21 at the Dole Mansion, 401 Country Club Road, Crystal Lake.

A group of young violinists taught by McHenry native Martin Lopez, 4 Strings Attached has performed throughout the area, during the Columbus Day Parade in Chicago and for Secretary of State Jesse White and have been featured on NBC and ABC TV stations in Chicago.

Woodstock natives make Chester Gould documentary By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Yes, Woodstock has its groundhog, but it also has its Gould. The city has declared Feb. 22 Chester Gould Day in honor of a documentary airing on WTTW-Channel 11 that day about the late Chester Gould, who originated the world-renowned Dick Tracy comic strip. The strip features a square-jawed police detective portrayed both on paper and in several films, including 1990’s “Dick Tracy” starring Warren Beatty. Born in Pawnee, Oklahoma, Gould and his family moved to Woodstock in 1936 and settled on a farm east of town in what is now Bull Valley. Gould lived in town for 50 years until his death at age 84 in 1985 and is buried in Woodstock’s Oakland Cemetery, his gravestone etched with a likeness of Dick Tracy. Inspired by Gould’s accomplishments, Woodstock resident Tom Firak and his sons Steve and John began working on a documentary about him in 2007. That documentary has become “Chester Gould: An American Original.” The show will air at 3 p.m. Feb. 22 on Channel 11 and is expected to air several times after that. Featuring interviews with Gould’s family, including daughter Jean O’Connell, writers who took over the strip when Gould retired in 1977 and others, the 56-minute documentary is a biographical representation of Gould. “I’ve been a fan of Dick Tracy since I read comics in the newspaper,” said Steve Firak, who, along with his brother, was a film student at Columbia College in Chicago when the project began. He now owns Ahoj Productions. “There was something about Dick Tracy that attracted me. My parents and grandparents could relate, too. It was kind of a bonding thing. ... I’ve been a Woodstockian for years. I know Groundhog Days

Dick Tracy as depicted by Chester Gould.

is a big thing around here, but Dick Tracy is a huge piece of history for this city and also for American culture, Americana.” First distributed in 1931 by the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate, the strip appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News for 45 years. It’s the sixth oldest comic strip in America today. Housed in Woodstock’s historic Old Courthouse for more than 17 years beginning in 1991, a Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Museum now exists solely online at www. dictracymuseum.com. A room of original artwork, photography and memorabilia, including Gould’s drawing board and chair, it drew thousands of visitors from throughout the country before it closed. Gould actually created the concept of Crime Stoppers in his strip, which led to the Crime Stoppers Club for Woodstock boys in the 1950s. Years later, a police officer in New Mexico received Gould’s permission to use the term “CrimeStoppers” for a citizen-run law enforcement program that soon spread throughout the country. Written today by Joe Staton and Mike Curtis, the Dick Tracy strip lives on, owned by Tribune Media Services. “It’s not like it’s forgotten about

“CHESTER GOULD: AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL” WHEN: 3 p.m. Feb. 22 WHERE: WTTW-Channel 11 INFO: Channel 11 will air a documentary created by Woodstock resident Tom Firak and his sons, Steve and John, which depicts the life of the late Chester Gould, who originated the world-renowned Dick Tracy comic strip. completely,” Steve Firak said. “The man behind it is what’s important. This is our endeavor to have people know about the struggles it took and how hard of a worker he was and what a family man he was.” The documentary tells of Gould’s move to Chicago in 1921 with a portfolio and $50 in his pocket. For 10 years, he sent strip suggestions to the Chicago Tribune. All were rejected until Dick Tracy, originally called “Plain Clothes Tracy.” Gould received a note back saying, “Your ‘Plain Clothes Tracy’ has possibilities,” the comic strip creator recalled in an interview taped before his death and featured in the documentary. “I broke out in a cold sweat. I got the chills,” he said at the time. “I just went all to pieces.” Steve Firak said the documentary is the beginning of efforts to create more of a perspective piece on the impact Gould’s creation had on the world of comic strips. “This one is really more about his life and how he might have been influenced by artists before him and really about his family and how things developed,” he said. “We’re actually going to try for fundraising for what I would call an artistic perspective version of Chester Gould and Dick Tracy.” The goal is to create a feature-length film about Dick Tracy’s place in culture, he said, adding they intend to use fundraising site Indiegogo.com for the future project. As for Woodstock’s role, it’s just another piece of history for the city to celebrate. “We’re having a lot of fun with the strip, and I think Chester would be very pleased,” said Terry Wilcockson, grant writer for the city of Woodstock.

Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert - Greg Morrison Book by Bob Martin - Don McKellar To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as 'Man in Chair' drops the needle on his favorite LP — the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-ﬁ, the uproariously funny musical magically bursts to life on stage, telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs. Man in Chair's infectious love of The Drowsy Chaperone speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theatre. adno=0311768

El Dura and her sister Tahoe were originally adopted from Helping Paws and recently returned to us when their guardian's lifestyle changed. She is a sweet petite girl at around 10 pounds. Tahoe recently got adopted and El Dura is still with us. She is trying to cope with her change in lifestyle and loss of Tahoe. So far she hasn't found a new cat buddy in the cat room. She would be content to sit next to you and get some love. She likes to be up on a cat tree so she can keep an eye on everything. Her former guardian said that she really enjoys drinking out of a running faucet. A cat fountain might be just the thing for her. Since she is a senior cat, there would be no adoption fee to an approved senior citizen. Don't worry if you aren't a senior citizen yet there would be a reduced adoption fee for you. Come meet her at Helping Paws Animal Shelter located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. You can call us at 815-338-4400 or go to our website www.helpingpaws.net.
