Still flossing toward 100 There was a time when I flossed every day, and little did I know how much of a favor I was doing myself.

I started flossing because I hadn’t gone to a dentist for many years, and the reason I finally went to the dentist was because a tooth broke where I had a cavity filled. I needed to have my tooth repaired, otherwise I would lose it. The dentist assessed the situation and determined I would need a crown as the tooth was too far gone for a filling. Wonderful.

Then the dentist started cleaning my teeth, and because I hadn’t been to the dentist in such a long time, a lot of plaque had built up on my teeth, and it was quite a painful process. Not terribly so, but I felt it, and I didn’t like the feeling.

The dentist recommended that I floss every day to make the cleaning process less painful and time consuming.

I didn’t need any more convincing. If it would make the next visit to the dentist for a cleaning that much easier, I was certain I could floss every day. This was many years ago, and for years, I flossed every day. I wanted to make my visits to the dentist pain-free. I wanted the dentist to pat me on the head and say, “Good boy. You’re flossing every day.”

Although he didn’t pat me on the head, he did compliment me on flossing, and I was feeling pretty good about myself. And rather than waiting until I chipped a tooth to visit the dentist, I started seeing him twice a year to keep my teeth healthy. I was fully into dentistry.

But your best intentions sometimes fall along the wayside, and I stopped seeing the dentist for a few years. And I stopped flossing, too. I was letting my mouth fall to decay, except for the fact I was brushing my teeth every day. Some things you don’t stop. And brushing daily is one of them. You just do it.

Life got in the way. I moved from Harvard to Woodstock, and seeing my dentist in Harvard was too far out of the way, and I hadn’t found a dentist in Woodstock, not that I was actively looking. It wasn’t until I broke another tooth that I went to the dentist again.

This time it had only been a few years since I sat in the dentist’s chair. And this was another tooth that would need a crown. And, in the meantime, my teeth would need to be cleaned, and surprisingly, it wasn’t so bad. I hadn’t been flossing, but that didn’t seem to matter much.

This is OK, I thought. And so, I started seeing my dentist regularly again, at least once a year.

I liked him.

Then I cracked another filling, but I also had gotten a letter from my insurance company to make sure the dentist I was using was in the

VIEWS Dick Peterson plan. And much to my chagrin, he wasn’t. In fact only one dentist in Woodstock was, which I thought to be curious. So, not only did I have a cracked filling, I had to go to a new dentist when I was happy with the dentist I was seeing. But insurance trumps, and I changed dentists.

You never know what you’re getting into when you change something such as a dentist.

My initial question was, how gentle was he going to be? I don’t like pain, and I don’t like the unknown, and I don’t particularly like new dentists. But this new dentist was good. No discomfort. No pain. And he fixed my tooth with yet another crown after undergoing a root canal, which was a breeze surprisingly.

The last time I was in to see the dentist for a six-month checkup, I had my teeth cleaned, and the dentist checked for cavities, but found none that needed to be filled. The hygienist who cleaned my teeth asked whether I flossed, and admitted the truth: No, I didn’t. I kind of got out of the habit.

Rather than tsk-tsk me, she asked me whether I could floss at least twice a week, and that didn’t seem out of the question. I could do that, I thought. And I’ve started doing it. It’s not so bad.

But I read on the Incredible Internet that if you floss every day, you can added 6.4 years to your life. It keeps your immune system in good shape. The same bacteria that cause gum disease can lead to inflammation in your arteries and cause heart disease. Get rid of that bacteria, and you’ll have a healthier heart. I don’t know that I buy that. But if it’s on the Internet, it has to be true. Right?

The hygienist was tricking me. Once I saw how easy it was to floss twice a week, I might start flossing three or four times a week, or, gasp, every day. Will flossing twice a week add a year or two to my life? I’m planning to live to at least 100, and I need all the help I can get.

Flossing every day doesn’t seem like a bad trade off. That 6.4 years could come in handy in my life goals.

STEPPED-UP SECURITY EYED

County Board members debate whether to add more safeguards at administration building

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – People who attend the McHenry County Board’s full meetings twice a month now have to get wanded for weapons when they enter the building.

The practice began in December with the hiring of a new security firm to protect the county government’s Ware Road administration building.

But there has been talk of additional screening that has some board members wondering whether it is necessary.

Safety at the building, which houses the County Board and most county government offices, has been a frequent topic at meetings of the board’s Management Services Committee in charge of county facilities, said Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock. The move was not prompted by any one incident – although the wanding began shortly after the massacre of government workers at a government facility in San Bernadino, California – but rather because several board members felt more security was needed.

Hill said the county courthouse across the street is set to replace one of its magnetometers, which detects metal as people walk through it, in the next three to five years, and the board might want the old one installed at the Ware Road building. But that issue, and the cost, is a topic for another day.

Having a magnetometer requires additional staffing because anyone who sets it off gets wanded, which would have to be available each day rather than twice a month when the County Board is in session.

“Wanding at the front door is going to be the extent of what we do. I think it offers a level of protection,” Hill said.

County Board meetings also are attended by an armed sheriff’s deputy.

Several board members have discussed making people sign in to gain access to the building or scan their IDs, Hill said. But the idea, which she said she is not fond of, likely will go nowhere.

“We could presumably be preventing people from coming into their taxpayer-funded building,” she said.

One voice of caution on going overboard has been committee member Anna May Miller, R-Cary, who has said at meetings that the county should not be gearing up for a worst-case scenario. She said that exposure comes with

“Respectfully, if colleagues are concerned about their security, wanding is one step. I certainly believe we don’t need to go to magnetometers and armed guards,” Miller said.

Newer board member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, agrees. He said the County Board, or other government offices for that matter, should not give the perception that they are scared of the public they are elected and paid to serve.

He said he sees maybe one incident a year in which someone has to be es-

corted out, and these typically happen without incident.

“I trust people. Even at our biggest disagreements, I trust the people. They might get hot, they might get angry, but at the end of the day, everyone wants to go home and kiss mommy, kiss daddy or kiss the kids,” Gasser said.

State’s attorney candidate brings up opponent’s domestic disturbance call

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A 2010 domestic disturbance call at the home of an assistant state’s attorney running for the office’s top job is becoming a 2016 campaign issue, courtesy of his primary opponent.

Republican state’s attorney candidate Dan Regna on Thursday evening released a copy of the report filed by Barrington police when they responded to the home of Assistant State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally after his wife called 911 to report a dispute between the two had become physical.

Both men are seeking the Republican nomination for the county’s top law enforcement job.

Regna said he knew about the incident – the Northwest Herald reported about it shortly after it happened – but only recently obtained a copy of the report, the details of which he called disturbing. Regna said it is relevant given Kenneally is running on a track record of going after domestic violence.

Kenneally’s wife declined to press charges, but the report states Kenneally was intoxicated and acting belligerent toward the responding officers.

“Our state’s attorney has to have the highest character, integrity and judgment. This incident goes to the heart of who my opponent is, and his character, integrity and judgment,” Regna said.

Kenneally called Regna’s bringing up of the report a desperation tactic.

“This is a sad day for my opponent and another sign of his desperation to jumpstart a flailing campaign – a mean-spirited campaign that is now willing to do or say anything, even if it means using political buckshot that not only hits me, but also my family,”

On the Web To read the police report of the incident at Patrick Kenneally’s home, visit NWHerald.com.

Kenneally said.

According to the police report from the Thanksgiving 2010 incident, Kenneally’s wife locked herself in a bathroom and told police Kenneally was acting crazy.

When police arrived, they noticed a strong odor of alcohol on Kenneally’s breath and said he was slurring his speech and having problems walking, the police report Dan states.

Regna Kenneally’s wife tried to cancel the response, and upon the arrival of the police, she told them that she didn’t want to get her husband in trouble out of fear he would lose his job. She later asked Patrick the police to leave the Kenneally home.

“If I tell you, ‘Yes, he hit me,’ then you’re going to arrest him, so no he didn’t hit me,” the police report states she told the responding officer.

Regna said the issue is relevant to the election because of Kenneally’s emphasis on pursuing domestic violence, and his receiving of the 2009 Peace and Justice Award from Turning Point, the county’s domestic violence shelter. He also said the issue is personal for him because he and his wife adopted their son from his wife’s sister, who was killed by domestic violence in 1999.

“This entire incident calls into question my opponent’s character, fitness and judgment to serve as McHenry County state’s attorney. Considering the issues of alcohol abuse, domestic violence and respect for police officers, the divide between my opponent and I cannot be greater,” Regna said.

Turning Point Executive Director Jane Farmer said Kenneally was upfront with her about the 2010 incident shortly after it happened, and brought it up again in the name of full disclosure when he told her he was going to run for the office. Farmer was cautious in her remarks, wanting to keep the agency’s mission out of politics, and noting it would have to work with whomever ends up as state’s attorney. She also pointed out Kenneally never was charged with a crime. “[Kenneally] has been excellent at prosecuting individuals, and making sure that the victims are afforded the rights of the legal system. I’m real pleased with that,” Farmer said.

Kenneally called the incident a “marital argument between a newly married couple that became a little too heated,” and in a statement apologized to his wife “that she now has to endure further embarrassment because of my opponent’s unscrupulous political campaign.” The couple now has two young sons.

“It is my sincere belief that McHenry County voters will not be swayed by muckraking, and that my opponent will not be able to use this isolated incident from my distant past to avoid having to talk about his glaring lack of qualifications for the state’s attorney’s office,” Kenneally said.

Regna and Kenneally are seeking to succeed Lou Bianchi, who is not seeking re-election.

LOCAL BRIEFS Crystal Lake receives financial reporting recognition

CRYSTAL LAKE – The city’s financial reporting has received a recognition from a national association.

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada has awarded the city its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 26th year in a row, according to a news release.

The program was designed to encourage

state and local governments “to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare comprehensive annual financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure,” according to the association’s website.

The association does not assess the financial health of participating governments but seeks to ensure that users of those governments’ financial documents can make those assessments themselves,

the website said.

Village won’t issue citations for political billboards on Route 14

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – After a review process that began with a complaint from a political challenger, the village has decided not to issue a citation for temporary 72-square-foot campaign billboards for David Miler and Anna May Miller along Route 14.

The signs are three times the allowable size for political signs as outlined in Cary’s village code, but Village Administrator Chris Clark said the village staff and attorney reviewed the ordinance in light of the 2015 Supreme Court ruling Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Arizona, which said content-based regulations should receive strict scrutiny.

The signs are wrapped over a billboard near the intersection of Route 14 and Jandus Cut Off Road that normally reads “Lake Julian Contracting.” The parcel of land is owned by Miller Family LP. “We’ve completed our review of our ordinance, and we’ve decided it’s not enforceable to ask that this political sign be removed on the basis of our ordinances and the approvals that were granted for a commercial sign to go

up in the first place,” Clark said. “The new federal case law indicates that it’s not enforceable because it’s regulating the content of the sign.”

Clark said the village also reviewed code regarding safety standards attached to other signs and found the billboards acceptable after inspection.

Jennifer Weinhammer, a Cary resident who is running against David Miller for Algonquin 17 Precinct Committeeman, said she brought the sign to the attention of several trustees upon seeing it.

Clark said village officials heard about the sign after hours on Feb. 5 and immediately issued a warning to bring the sign in compliance with code, a step he said is routine for ordinance violations.

After a follow-up visit from an inspector, attorney Rebecca Lee, daughter of Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Robert Miller and McHenry County Board Member Anna May Miller, reached out to the village to challenge the legality of the sign code before the village’s deadline for issuing a citation.

Her request sparked a weeklong review of the code by staff and attorneys,

who determined that the code did not align with the 2015 court ruling.

Clark said political signs often become an issue during election cycles and usually 95 percent of problems are resolved through direct conversations without a citation.

Before the village came to its conclusion, Weinhammer said she has been frustrated with the Miller family’s unwillingness to comply and the village’s response to her complaint.

“I think if someone told me my sign is illegally placed somewhere, I would say ‘OK’ and take it down, but that’s not how the Miller family is,” Weinhammer said. “Their response was, ‘You’ll hear from our attorney.’ I don’t know if voters want to vote for people who don’t abide by the law.”

After the decision, Lee said she expected this outcome and felt village officials had been professional in their handling of the situation.

“From our perspective, the way the village undertook it was very fair,” Lee said.

Clark said the village will soon develop a Unified Development Ordinance and the entire sign code will be analyzed as part of that process.

MARENGO – A fire that started in a basement electrical box caused damage to the basement and sent smoke throughout a Marengo home, a fire official said.

The Marengo Fire Protection District responded about 3:10 p.m. Saturday to 18813 River Road in Marengo, Lt. Mark Pankow said.

A couple had been home at the time and had used a fire extinguisher on the fire, and firefighters used another two pressurized water cans to extinguish it completely, Pankow said, adding it “definitely had potential to be a pretty bad fire” if the couple had not been home and used the extinguisher.

Crews remained on scene for about two hours, ventilating the home and making sure no fire remained in the walls and ceiling immediately around the electrical box, he said.

No one needed to be taken to the hospital, Pankow said.

The fire is thought to have been caused by electrical issues and is not thought to be suspicious, he said.

MARENGO

City to vote on providing clean water to Ritz Road residents

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The city of Marengo is set to vote on an agreement Monday that would bring clean water to Marengo Township residents on Ritz Road by connecting to the city’s water system.

The possible solution comes about two and a half years after the Illinois Attorney General’s Office filed a complaint against 300 West and Arnold Engineering Co. for alleged groundwater and soil contamination on the site at 300 N. West St., where Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation operates.

Since then, McHenry County Circuit Court orders have required 300 West and Arnold Engineering to provide bottled water to owners near the site, conduct a quarterly sampling of certain private wells, and conduct an investigation to determine the nature and extent of the contamination, according to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s website.

The agreement is set to be voted on at 7 p.m. Monday at the Marengo City Council meeting at Marengo City Hall,

132 E. Prairie St., and will be contingent on the Illinois Attorney General’s Office’s decision to enter an agreed upon order committing 300 West and Arnold Engineering to the construction agreement, according to city documents.

The next hearing for the case will be Wednesday morning at the McHenry County Courthouse, said Annie Thompson, deputy press secretary with the attorney general’s office. “[The attorney general’s office] is working as efficiently as possible on a positive outcome that will ultimately protect the public’s drinking water,” she said.

Construction for the main would start in the spring, and the project is expect to cost 300 West and Arnold Engineering about $3 million, with no cost to the city, Marengo City Administrator Gary Boden said.

The city would be reimbursed for the $45,000 it spent on costs related to the preliminary engineering and legal work required to make the agreement, Boden said.

A 5,500-foot, 8-inch diameter main would continue west on Railroad Street from the 12-inch main, and run north on Ritz Road, according to city documents.

The agreement also requires 300 West to annex its 91 acres of land into Marengo city limits, Boden said. They would be required to file for the annexation by March 9.

ALGONQUIN – Village residents will have the opportunity to buy rain barrels and composters through the village’s partnership with The Land Conservancy of McHenry County.

The village encourages the use of rain barrels as part of its water conservation program. The barrels are placed under a downspout to collect and store rain water, which then can be used to water flowers and gardens during dry weather.

Residents can put fruit scraps, vegetable waste and yard waste into composters to help reduce the amount of garbage sent to a landfill. The natural process produces organic compost, great for use in the garden.

To order a rain barrel or composter, visit ConserveMC.com or call 815-3379502 by May 13. When placing an order online, check the box for Algonquin pickup.

Orders can be picked up between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. May 20 at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, or by arrangements the following week.

Questions may be directed to senior

planner Katie Parkhurst at 847-6584184.

Library asks for input on potential new building

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – With the Crystal Lake Public Library building aging and space becoming more cramped, library officials want to know what the public would want in a new building – or whether they want a new building at all.

A series of community engagement sessions, each with their own topics and small group discussions, are planned for the next four months, according to library documents.

The sessions will run from 7 to 9 p.m. one Thursday each month at Park Place, 406 W. Woodstock St., Crystal Lake. Spots can be reserved online at clpl.org.

The first session on March 10 – the others will be April 21, May 19 and June 9 – is tentatively set to focus on “a day in the life of the public library,” Library Director Kathryn Martens said, adding that the sessions are being planned by a facilitating team

problems, including soil density that prevents the storage of book stacks on the eastern side of the building where the administrative offices are housed.

Library officials have been leaning toward constructing a new building at the current location, a project that would cost about $30 million depending on the direction the board takes, after considering 24 locations laid out in a 228-page site assessment report issued in 2013.

None of those conclusions are final, however, Martens said, adding that part of the goal behind the public input sessions as well as public opinion polling the library is pursuing is to find out what direction the public wants the library to take.

The facilitating team will prepare a formal report they will present to the library board after the last public input session, Martens said. At that point, the library board will make a recom-

CARY – Cary School District 26 received an apparent low bid of about $2.1 million for planned renovations to Briargate Elementary School.

The finance committee was presented with the bids Tuesday and a recommendation to the school board is expected to be completed this week after the lowest bid, from Markham-based Tower Contracting LLC, is fully vetted, Director of Finance and Operations Jeffrey Schubert said.

The notice of bid was published Jan. 12 and bids were opened Feb. 10, according to a district memo. Bids ranged from Tower’s $2.1 million to about $2.7 million.

The lowest bid for a separate contract for asbestos abatement came in at $94,900. Both contracts will need board approval, for which a vote is

expected at the next regular meeting.

The project, expected to begin at the start of summer, includes the installation of air conditioning, restroom renovations, flooring renovations, new electrical service, domestic water piping, casework replacement, fire-rated partitions, some new ceilings and lighting, and new HVAC controls, district documents said.

Briargate, a 50-year-old structure, is the last occupied building in the district without air conditioning, Schubert said.

“We’ve deferred capital improvements during the financial downturn of the district, but we’re taking steps to improve our facilities, and we’re using our fund balance we’ve set aside to accomplish that,” he said.

Funding will come out of the district’s capital projects fund balances, which have been accumulated over time with this project in mind.

By COLLEEN BARRY The Associated Press

MILAN – Umberto Eco catapulted to global literary fame three decades ago with “The Name of the Rose,” a novel in which professorial erudition underpinned a medieval thriller that sold some 30 million copies in more than 40 languages.

The Italian author and academic who became one of Italy’s best-known cultural exports and keenest cultural critics, died at home in Milan on Friday evening after a battle with cancer, according to a family member who asked not to be identified.

His death was earlier confirmed by his American publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Eco’s contribution to Italian literature was lauded by political and cultural figures alike. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday at Milan’s Sforza Castle, a grand citadel which is overlooked by Eco’s book-filled house.

French President Francois Hollande remembered Eco as “an immense humanist,” adding that “libraries have lost an insatiable reader, universities a dazzling professor and literature a passionate writer.”

Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said Eco “united a unique intelligence of the past and an inexhaustible capacity to anticipate the future.”

Italian author Elisabetta Sgarbi,

who founded a publishing house last year with Eco and other Italian writers, called him “a great living encyclopedia” who taught young people “the capacity to love discoveries and marvels.”

Author of books ranging from novels to scholarly tomes to essay collections, Eco was fascinated with the obscure and the mundane, and his books were both engaging narratives and philoUmberto Eco sophical and intellectual exercises. The bearded, heavy-set scholar, critic and novelist took on the esoteric theory of semiotics, the study of signs and symbols in language; popular culture icons like James Bond; and the technical languages of the Internet.

“The Name of the Rose” made Eco an international celebrity, especially after the medieval thriller set in a monastery was made into a film starring Sean Connery in 1986. “The Name of the Rose” sold millions of copies, a feat for a narrative filled with partially translated Latin quotes and puzzling musings on the nature of symbols.

Eco said his work on the novel was “prodded by a seminal idea: I felt like poisoning a monk.”

The book sparkled with references to his intellectual preoccupations.

“Books are not made to be believed,

but to be subjected to inquiry,” he wrote. “When we consider a book, we mustn’t ask ourselves what it says but what it means, a precept that the commentators of the holy books had very clearly in mind.”

The last line of the book says, in Latin: “Yesterday’s rose endures in its name; we hold empty names.” That meant, Eco said, that ideas are the only imperishable things.

Eco was born Jan. 5, 1932, in Alessandria, a town east of Turin. Eco, whose family name is supposedly a Latin acronym of ex caelis oblatus, or gift from heaven, given to his foundling grandfather by a city official, said the insular culture there was a source for his “world vision: a skepticism and an aversion to rhetoric.” He earned a degree in philosophy from the University of Turin in 1954, beginning his fascination with the Middle Ages and the aesthetics of text. He later defined semiotics as a “philosophy of language.”

He suffered a crisis of faith during this period, abandoning the Roman Catholic Church.

His last book, a collection of essays, is set to be published next week by a new house he helped found with other authors last year.

“He worked a couple of days ago on the last corrections, and he chose the cover,” Sgarbi, co-founder of “La nave di Teseo” publishing house, told Sky TG24.

STATE 1st House GOP primaries to test anti-incumbent mood The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – When the calendar turns to March in this year of the irate voter, the first wave of congressional Republicans will find out whether they have their very own Dave Brat waiting for them.

Brat was an underfunded, obscure college professor who shocked the political world in 2014 by ousting House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in what was supposed to be a no-contest Republican primary in Virginia. He now holds the Richmond-area seat and is one of the chamber’s more conservative and recalcitrant members.

Next month, GOP House members in a crescent curving from Texas to Illinois face the first congressional primaries in this incumbent-bashing, anti-establishment season of

LOMBARD – Gov. Bruce Rauner is promoting legislation he said would save Illinois public schools more than $200 million.

The Republican governor Bruce Rauner stopped at a Lombard high school Friday to show support for a plan to eliminate unfunded school mandates.

Illinois to get $114M from federal gov’t for housing help

CHICAGO – Illinois will receive $114 million to help homeowners still struggling from the 2008 recession.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported the money is on top of nearly $450 million the federal government has given the state since 2010 from an $8 billion account called the Hardest Hit Fund.

Illinois Housing Development Authority spokeswoman Cami Freeman said officials have not yet determined how to use the funds. The U.S. Treasury Department must approve the state’s plans. Money may be used to help fix underwater mortgages, raze homes or help first-time home-buyers.

Eighteen states have received

when Alabama, Arkansas and Texas have the initial House primaries, is “a very important day to measure and determine what the score is.”

Mississippi House primaries are March 8, followed by Ohio and Illinois a week later. March 15 House contests in North Carolina have been delayed until June because of a dispute over redrawing district boundaries.

As usual, most incumbents have overwhelming financial and name-recognition advantages. In Texas, Brady’s campaign raised $1.6 million last year, compared with $64,000 for the best financed of his three challengers, pool company owner and ex-state Rep. Steve Toth.

That edge has long made most officeholders impossible

Arrest made in string of Chicago-area hair salon burglaries

NORTHBROOK – Authorities said a Highland Park man has been charged in connection with a string of burglaries of area hair and nail salons.

Northbrook Police Cmdr. Mike O’Malley said 26-year-old Alan Konwinski of Highland Park is charged with five counts of burglary, all for alleged Northbrook burglaries. It wasn’t immediately known if Konwinski has legal representation.

Earlier this week, authorities said 70 burglaries of hair and nail salons have occurred in and around Chicago since August.

Police said all of the crimes appeared to be the work of the same two people. Police said the pair would smash front doors, then enter and rifle through cash registers.

Authorities said a tip relayed

to topple. In 2014, just five sitting House members were defeated in party primaries. But 2016 poses a new test, with voters’ ill feelings toward Washington, fanned by Trump and Cruz, fueling conservatives’ hopes of defeating Republicans deemed too willing to cut deals.

“The frustration and anger that’s out there would indicate that this is the year you get beat from the right,” said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., like Brat a member of the rebellious House Freedom Caucus that last year helped push House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to resign from Congress. “If you don’t get beat this year, you will be golden for a long time.”

The surly mood has prompted the conservative Club for Growth to run hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of TV ads attacking Shimkus and Rep. Renee Ellmers in a now-delayed North Carolina race. Club commercials also back conservative Warren

Davidson’s bid for Boehner’s vacant seat in western Ohio, which if successful would be a symbolic coup.

Other groups including FreedomWorks, Citizens United Political Victory Fund and the Senate Conservatives Fund are also helping conservative contenders.

In southern Illinois, the $1.3 million Shimkus reported raising last year was nearly 10 times what challenger Kyle McCarter reported collecting.

But playing on anti-incumbent fever, a Club for Growth ad targeting the 10-term veteran lawmaker said, “A guy who’s been in Washington 20 years ain’t going to fix it.”

In a recent interview, Shimkus countered by citing his supporters.

“If you’re endorsed by the National Right to Life, by the NRA and the Farm Bureau, it’s hard for anybody to say you’re not representing the district,” he said.

Chicago seeks control of vacant old Post Office site

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is taking steps to seize control of the massive old main Post Office, which has sat vacant and deteriorating for more than two decades.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said in a news release Saturday the city is seeking to take control of the 11-acre site from a private developer through the eminent domain process.

Emanuel said the city will also issue a call for bids to redevelop what he called “one of Chicago’s iconic structures.”

International Property Developers North America Inc. bought the property in 2009 and has drawn up plans to transform the building into a retail, residential and entertainment center.

But the city said no work was ever completed.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Harper Lee buried in Alabama hometown

MONROEVILLE, Ala. – The author of the America classic “To Kill a Mockingbird” was laid to rest Saturday in a private ceremony attended by only the closest of friends and family, a reflection of how she had lived.

Harper Lee, who died Friday at age 89, was eulogized at a church in the small Alabama town of Monroeville, which the author used as a model for the imaginary town of Maycomb, the setting of Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

A few dozen people who comprised Lee’s intimate circle gathered at the First United

Methodist Church to hear a eulogy Saturday by her longtime friend and history professor, Wayne Flint.

The casket containing the body of the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia leaves the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., following funeral mass services Saturday.

Scalia remembered as man of faith, family and the law The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was remembered Saturday as a man of faith, family and the law in a funeral marked by church ritual and pageantry for the conservative jurist whose larger-than-life personality dominated the high court for nearly three decades.

A who’s who of the nation’s political and legal elite was among more than 3,000 mourners at a funeral Mass for Scalia at the largest Catholic church in the United States. Vice President Joe Biden and 10 of the 11 living justices with whom Scalia served joined his wife of 55 years, their nine children and dozens of grandchildren on a balmy winter morning.

President Barack Obama did not attend Scalia’s funeral Mass, despite some criticism from Republicans. The White House said the decision is a “respectful arrangement” given the president’s large security detail and Biden’s personal relationship with Scalia’s family.

Scalia was buried later Saturday in a private ceremony at an undisclosed location.

He died unexpectedly last week at age 79 at a resort ranch in west Texas. He was the longest-serving among the current justices and the court’s most outspoken conservative.

His death has set off a tumultuous political fight over a replacement, and is affecting the presidential campaign. One Republican candidate, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, interrupted his

campaign ahead of Saturday’s South Carolina primary to attend the Mass.

The Rev. Paul Scalia, the justice’s son and a Catholic priest, presided over a traditional service that lasted more than 1 1/2 hours and dispensed with eulogies that Scalia himself had said he did not like. Instead, his son spoke with reverence and humor about Scalia as a father and Catholic who saw “no conflict between faith and the love of one’s country.”

Scalia regarded the founding of the United States as “a blessing – a blessing quickly lost when faith is banned from the public square or when we refuse to bring it there,” his son said.

As a father, “he loved us and sought to show that love and sought to share the blessing of the faith he treasured,” he said.

“Sure he forgot our names at times or mixed them up, but there are nine of us,” Paul Scalia said to laughter from the crowd at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

The Catholic priest assured the many lawyers in the audience who may have felt the sting of Scalia’s barbed questions during Supreme Court arguments that he shared their pain. “The Roman collar was not a shield against his criticism,” Paul Scalia said.

During his homily, Scalia’s son recalled how his father reacted once after accidentally standing in his son’s confessional line.

“He quickly departed it. As he put it later, ‘Like heck if I’m confessing to you,’” the younger Scalia said. “The feeling was mutual.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Donald Trump claimed a big victory in South Carolina’s Republican primary Saturday, deepening his hold on the GOP presidential field as the race barreled into the South. “Let’s put this thing away,” he shouted to cheering supporters.

Out West, Hillary Clinton pulled out a crucial win over Bernie Sanders in Nevada’s Democratic caucuses, easing the rising anxieties of her backers. At a raucous victory rally in Las Vegas, she lavished praise on her supporters and declared, “This one is for you.”

The victories put Clinton and Trump in strong positions as the Hillary 2016 presidential elec- Rodham tion barreled toward the Clinton March 1 Super Tuesday contests, a delegate-rich voting bonanza. But South Carolina marked the end for Jeb Bush, the one-time Republican front-runner and member of a prominent political family, who Bernie withdrew from the race. Sanders “I firmly believe the American people must entrust this office to someone who understands that whoever holds it is a servant, not the master,” Bush told supporters in an emotional speech.

Trump’s strong showing in South Carolina marked his second straight victory in the Republican primaries and strengthened his unexpected claim on the GOP nomination. No Republican in recent times has won New Hampshire and South Carolina and then failed to win the nomination.

“There’s nothing easy about running for president,” Trump said at his victory rally. “It’s tough, it’s nasty, it’s mean, it’s vicious. It’s beautiful – when you win it’s beautiful.”

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, a pair of freshman senators, were fighting for second place. Bush and other candidates lagged far behind.

For both parties, the 2016 election has laid bare voters’ anger with the po-

litical establishment and the influence of big money in the political system.

The public mood has upended the usual political order, giving Sanders and Trump openings while leaving more traditional candidates scrambling to find their footing.

Trump’s victory comes after a week in which he threatened to sue one rival, accused former President George W. Bush of lying about the Iraq war and even tussled with Pope Francis on immigration. His victory was another sign that the conventional rules of politics often don’t apply to the brash billionaire.

Trump was backed by nearly 4 in 10 of those who were angry at the federal government, and a third of those who felt betrayed by politicians in the Republican Party.

For Cruz, even a second-place finish in South Carolina would be something of a disappointment. The state was his first test of whether his expensive, sophisticated getout-the-vote operation could overtake Trump in a Southern state, Donald where the electorate is Trump tailor-made for the uncompromising conservative Texas senator.

Florida’s Rubio was seeking to position himself as the more mainstream alternative to Trump and Cruz, candidates many GOP Jeb Bush leaders believe are unelectable in November.

Rubio scored the endorsements of several prominent South Carolina politicians, including Gov. Nikki Haley, overcoming a dismal debate performance Ted Cruz two weeks ago that raised serious questions about his candidacy.

South Carolina was a bitter disappointment for Bush, who campaigned alongside members of his famous family, which remains popular in the state.

Although Bush was once considered a well-funded front-runner for the GOP nomination, new fundraising reports out Saturday showed that donations to his super PAC had largely stalled.

Also in the mix was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who had low expectations in South Carolina and was looking toward more moderate states that vote later in March. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson vowed to stay in the race, despite a single-digit showing.

one type of tax revenue, and that’s one reason we reduced the corporate tax and income tax because we were too reliant on those,” said McCrory, who is expected to face a tough re-election battle this year. “I think that was putting North Carolina in jeopardy not only from a financial standpoint but from a competitive standpoint.”

McCrory and other GOP governors took some satisfaction in a warning to the panel from Dan White, a senior economist at Moody’s, that states such as California and New York with highly progressive income taxes are more susceptible to big drops in revenue during a recession.

“We’re trying to flatten our income tax rate in Arkansas, which I guess you could argue is non-progressive,” Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson said. “But if you flatten it, you’re going to help those who are creating jobs weather those uncertain economic times. I do think you’ve got to keep in mind the job creators in managing tax policy.”

Hutchinson said the possibility of a recession also highlights the need for states to have more flexibility to manage their Medicaid budgets. A rise in the number of people on Medicaid can be an early warning sign of a recession,

the economists said.

Arkansas is among the GOP-led states that have expanded Medicaid under Obama’s health care overall, accepting an infusion of federal dollars.

Gov. Dan Malloy of Connecticut, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, noted that some Republican governors took a firm stand against expanding Medicaid in their states, only to change their minds. Republican John Kasich of Ohio, the only governor still running for president, is now campaigning on his decision to expand Medicaid.

“The good thing about Republican governors is, eventually they listen,” Malloy said.

Democratic Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware said there is a middle ground on economic policy that’s in danger of being drowned out by partisan rhetoric.

“Bernie [Sanders] is only talking about redistribution, whether it’s in the form of taxes or health care or anything else. The Republicans have their perspective, and what I think we actually need is an economy which is a growth and sharing economy,” said Markell, who has endorsed Hillary Clinton.

“And I think that is precisely what is missing from the national dialogue.”

WASHINGTON – The nation’s governors received a stark warning from a panel of economists Saturday that a recession is likely within the next years, but their states’ preparation for a potential economic downturn depend largely on which party the governor belongs to.

With a pep talk from President Barack Obama, Democratic Barack Obama governors arrived at the winter meeting of the National Governors Association touting their states’ achievements in raising the minimum wage and mandating paid sick leave. Their Republican counterparts, meanwhile, are emphasizing tax cuts and warning that policies seen as unfriendly to business will hurt states in the event of a recession.

Although the governors association meeting is meant to foster bipartisan solutions, the governors’ economic priorities reflect the deepening divide between red and blue states.

Democratic governors met with Obama at the White House on Friday afternoon, and the president credited the economic policies of Democratic-led states for reducing the nation’s unemployment rate to 4.9 percent.

“As Democrats, we believe that every American should have the opportunity to work for a good wage and benefits, and to be able to advance themselves and their families,” Obama said.

“And you’ve helped our Pat McCrory businesses create over 14 million new jobs over the past six years.”

Republican Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina said cuts to income and corporate taxes were the key to job growth and economic stability in his state.

“I believe in a very balanced approach in preparing the economy of our state for the future, and that’s having a diverse tax base that’s not reliant on

ENDORSEMENT

Recorder: Smith

Three candidates are running in the Republican primary to replace the retiring Phyllis Walters as McHenry County recorder.

The office is responsible for recording, retrieving and maintaining a number of records, such as land records and real estate transactions, subdivision plats and military discharge certificates.

The winner of the Republican primary faces an uncontested race in November’s election unless Democrats caucus in a candidate. The primary features Tina Hill, Joni Smith and Joe Tirio.

Hill, a County Board member and former legislative aide in the Illinois House of Representatives, said she is running to continue her lifelong dedication to public service. She would like to introduce cloud-based technology to the office. Hill said doing so would integrate document and records management, and advance email integration.

Smith, who works as a supervisor in the recorder’s office, said she is running because she enjoys her work in the office and wants to serve the public. She boasts a thorough understanding of the office’s functions and hands-on knowledge of its services.

Tirio, who owns Monarch Senior Care, is running with the sole intention of merging the recorder’s office into the county clerk’s office to save taxpayers money. He believes the executive-level functions of the recorder can be absorbed by the clerk, who would oversee a staff that carries out the duties of the recorder’s office. Taxpayers would save money by eliminating the recorder’s salary and benefits, along with future pension payments. Hill and Smith oppose merging the recorder’s office into the clerk’s office.

Hill is a career politician, and she should be applauded for her public service, but she has had difficulty fulfilling her elected duties in recent years on the County Board.

Tirio is a candidate with a focus on saving taxpayers money. His ambitions suggest he should run for an elected office that has a bigger impact on taxes. His idea to merge the recorder and clerk offices should be examined seriously. Doing so requires County Board action or voter initiative.

It does not matter who sits in the recorder’s chair.

We endorse the idea, but we do not endorse the candidate.

Smith is most prepared to hit the ground running. She believes Illinois’ online program that allows you to process real property transfer tax declarations, will increase efficiency in the office and streamline the recording process. If so, Smith needs to shrink staff in the office, which is too heavy on supervisors.

We endorse Smith.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

The pope’s rebuff – and reminder Having belittled his Republican rivals as well as Democrats, Muslims, migrants, people with disabilities, prisoners of war and uncountable celebrities, foreign leaders, women and journalists, Donald Trump trained his wellspring of venom on Pope Francis on the eve of the pontiff’s trip to Mexico last week. He demeaned the pope as a pawn of Mexico’s government and called him a “very political person.”

Now the pope has returned fire, saying, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.” He made the remark hours after praying for beleaguered migrants at the Mexican border, where Trump, who disparaged those migrants as rapists, wants to build a wall.

The pope should have been savvier, in response to a reporter’s question, than to be drawn into the mud of a presidential election. Perhaps mindful of that,

he quickly tamped down his remark, declining to “get involved” with influencing Catholic voters but adding: “I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.”

Trump’s candidacy has endured months of disapproval and condemnation from sources as varied as the British Parliament (which debated banning him from England), South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (who warned against his campaign’s appeal to Americans’ anger) and J.K. Rowling (who compared him to Voldemort, the villain of her “Harry Potter” books). He also may survive and even benefit from the pope’s censure.

But if the pope’s unusually frank assessment of Trump’s policy was ill-advised, it also provided a moment of clarity.

In response, Trump worked himself into a froth of indigna-

tion, saying it was “disgraceful” for the pope or anyone else to question another’s faith – never mind that Trump himself has done precisely that, to his GOP presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) a week ago, to Ben Carson and to President Barack Obama.

Amid the acrimony, it’s easy to lose sight of the underlying issue – the moral obligation to treat migrants humanely. That was the pope’s message Wednesday, when he visited Ciudad Juarez, just across the Mexican border from El Paso.

He gave an implicit rejection of the poisonous anti-immigrant rhetoric spouted by Trump and much of the Republican field, and embraced by a chunk of the GOP primary electorate. In vilifying Mexican immigrants as rapists, and Syrian refugees as terrorists, the Republicans attempt to rob them of their humanity. In Mexico, the pope offered a reminder of the imperative of decency.

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

To the Editor: I am supporting Martin McLaughlin for state Senate because he has proven he can get the job done. Before he took over in Barrington Hills, spending was out of control, up nearly double in just a decade.

Taxes were way up, and services were down, evidenced by the many miles of crumbling roads. Then voters saw fit to elect an outsider, a businessman with financial expertise, to turn things around, and he has exceeded our expectations.

He has been in office only three years, and yet spending and taxes are both down, the village finally is catching up on its road resurfacing program, and cash reserves are going up again.

Unlike some candidates, McLaughlin doesn’t just talk about fixing problems.

He actually fixes them. I’m tired of being represented by talkers. In the Republican primary in District 26, I am voting to elect a doer, Martin McLaughlin.

Mr. Calomino never has held an elected office, but as a state director of a national government watchdog organization he exposed millions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse in the state’s budget. He passed the first online transparency bill in the state of Illinois. And he trained citizens to hold elected officials accountable for how they spend our tax dollars.

Cost-cutting gone wrong

On the website, I also found out I could not renew my plates because my emissions test was not current, due to the fact emissions notices also were not mailed out. Yet another way of saving money, I would surmise.

As far as I know, no notices were sent out for this change. It seems odd to me my utilities can afford to bill me once a month, while the state can’t afford to do it once a year. Even the courtesy of a postcard reminder should suffice.

Respect for Scalia

To the Editor: It is with annoyance that I write this.

They just don’t get it. The American people are cynical of politicians, and the politicians just proved the American people right.

With the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can’t wait to start the next political fight over his replacement. Why can’t they wait until after Justice Scalia is buried? McConnell, Trump , Cruz and Rubio corrupt the time meant for mourning and honoring Justice Scalia.

They dishonor the justice. I wonder how the Scalia family feels at this sorrowful time, knowing these politicians have started bickering before the body is even cold.

It just goes to show you McConnell, Trump, Cruz and Rubio are crass and lack honor and civility. At least Jeb showed respect.

OPINION | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

To the Editor: There is a clear choice for McHenry County Board chairman, and that is Michael Walkup. The difference between Walkup and his opponent is night and day.

Both are lawyers. Walkup’s small law practice is unrelated to county business, but even that he will release to serve us full time. His opponent mainly represents developers. Regardless of his stated promise to avoid future direct conflicts, it’s obvious his affinity is with big money interests, not taxpayers. Walkup, who also runs a small farm, recognizes the value of retaining open space. We need to retain farmland and promote agritourism, not pave over the county. His opponent is for more growth, more of the problems that increase our taxes and decrease quality of life.

Walkup knows that businesses will relocate here because of quality of life, not miles of expressways. Walkup’s opponent would waste billions on an unnecessary expressway interchange. Vote for Michael Walkup.

allowing the chamber to keep its membership investment cost low for the small businesses that get their start through the chamber. In addition, Bates has learned to exercise great control over the chamber expense side of the budget, finding ways to save the chamber money. We need people on the McHenry County Board with good business sense.

Kay Bates will be an asset on the McHenry County Board, and I encourage you to vote for her March 15 for McHenry County Board representative in District 4.

Growth, demand spur major investments at Technipaq

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Inside their Crystal Lake headquarters, employees at packaging products maker Technipaq move constantly along the production floor to keep up with heightened activity as numerous machines hum, causing them to elevate their voices.

It’s a scene inside Technipaq created partly by executives’ long-term plans and by their customers in the health care industry – both new and existing – who are wanting more of the manufacturer’s packaging products.

Technipaq earlier this winter unveiled a converted 4,500-square-foot former warehouse space in its Crystal Lake location that now houses smaller pouch machines for production.

As part of the estimated $400,000 investment, the room created space within its main production floor for a new, larger pouch machine that can increase production capacity for the manufacturer’s larger preformed pouches by 12 to 12.5 percent annually.

Meanwhile, a few miles away in its Cary facility, Technipaq is preparing to install a 175,000-pound lamination machine, matching the size of a semitruck, to give the manufacturer even more production capacity – an investment totaling “several million dollars,” said Brian Rosenburg, vice president for sales and marketing.

“We are seeing nice growth with

its overall sales projection for 2015, when the company exceeded expectations by 2 percent and finished the year with 15 percent growth in overall sales.

For 2016, the manufacturer with its new production investments has targeted 16 percent sales growth.

The increased activity and new equipment also caused Technipaq to hire about 15 new employees, bringing the company’s ranks to 175 total employees.

Since 1984, Technipaq has supplied and made flexible packages for businesses in the health care, pharmaceutical and food industries to hold its own products.

The Crystal Lake-based manufacturer lately has seen demand rise for its preformed pouches, a product line that represents 70 percent of the family-owned company’s sales and safely packages medical equipment for customers in the health care industry.

U.S. regulators call for safer hoverboards The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – The government is cracking down on hoverboards.

In a letter to manufacturers, importers and retailers, U.S. regulators said they will seize or recall any of the of the two-wheeled, self-balancing scooters, which were a huge hit this holiday season, if they fail to meet recently released safety requirements.

The Internet is littered with photos and videos of hoverboards on fire and spewing black smoke.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in a letter issued Thursday noted 52 reports of fires that users say were caused by hoverboards in 24 states. Those fires led to $2 million

in property damage, including the destruction of two homes and an automobile. It said many of those incidents would not have happened if the hoverboards meet the new safety standards.

The CPSC said it wants the hoverboard industry to follow requirements set earlier this month by UL, an independent company that tests the safety of products for manufacturers.

Concerns that lithium-ion batteries inside the hoverboards could spark a fire have led to bans by several airlines and college campuses.

The CPSC revealed last month that it was investigating hoverboard makers and sellers. Amazon.com Inc. also offered full refunds for customers who bought a hoverboard through the site.

Freddie Mac profit rises on higher interest rates NEW YORK (AP) – Freddie Mac, the government-controlled mortgage company, said its net income jumped in the fourth quarter on higher interest rates.

It also recently said it will pay a dividend to the U.S. Department of Treasury of $1.7 billion next month. Freddie Mac has paid more than $96 billion in dividends to the Treasury since 2008, surpassing the $71.3 billion in bailouts it received from the government between

2008 and 2012.

Freddie Mac, based in Based in McLean, Virginia, doesn’t make loans to homebuyers. Instead, it buys mortgages from lenders, packages them into bonds, guarantees them against default and sells them to investors.

Freddie Mac reported net income of $2.2 billion in the quarter ending Dec. 31, compared with $227 million in the same period the year before.

Don’t compromise ethics Dear Dave,

I work an extra job part time for a retail store chain while I’m getting out of debt. I like my job, except for having to pitch the store’s credit card to customers. Like you, I believe debt is a bad thing. Still, my bosses are putting more and more pressure on me to sell the cards. It’s been bothering me a lot lately, and I was wondering if you have any advice for my ethical dilemma?

– Evette

Dear Evette,

If you’ve been in the business for long, I guess you’ve discovered most retail stores make more money on credit than the sale of merchandise.

In my mind, you’ve got two types of integrity that are pulling at you. Your personal integrity wants you to do a good job for yourself and your employer, but it’s also telling you credit cards are bad products. That makes you feel like you’ve signed up to sell something that you don’t believe in.

You wouldn’t want someone working for you who wouldn’t follow your instructions, and I wouldn’t want someone working for me who doesn’t believe in what they’ve been hired to do. For the sake of your own integrity, I would suggest that you find another part-time job. If you feel this strongly about the issue, sooner or later, it will start to affect your performance and attitude – both at work and at home.

Hang on long enough to land another job before you quit. Then, be professional when you turn in your notice. Despite what lots of people say these days, there are plenty of parttime jobs out there.

Continued from page 31 building investments now moves Technipaq’s manufacturing operations into two buildings for the first time, said Director of Operations Korey Beckman.

Beckman said the new lamination machine has the ability to produce products at five times the capacity than the company’s two, smaller lamination machines combined. The new machine will help the business reduce lead times for deliveries and enhance quality, as Technipaq looks to take on additional business, he said.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey area. The tenants in all four places are great, so how do you know when – or if – you should raise the rent? If you raise the rent, how do you keep good relationships with your tenants?

– Teresa

Dear Teresa,

My advice with rental properties is to raise the rent a little bit each year.

You want to be fair and affordable for your tenants, but you don’t want them thinking the rate is locked in forever. As a business owner, if you don’t have small, manageable increases on a regular basis, you’ll look up in four or five years and realize you’re losing money because your rent is way below market value. If you then implement a big rate hike out of nowhere, your tenants will have a fit. After that, you could be looking at empty properties.

When it comes time to renew the leases, try explaining to them that you’ve looked around in the market and other very comparable units are going for $450 or more, but that you appreciate them and what good tenants they are. Then, propose signing the new lease at $410 or $420. Don’t raise it to full market value. In most cases, this kind of approach will keep both parties happy. As a landlord, you’ll be able to retain quality tenants and make more money. As a renter, you’ll have the comfort of knowing you rent isn’t going to suddenly jump sky-high. It’s a win-win.

– Dave

The new pouch machine, along with the extra space for its smaller equipment, also should allow Technipaq to produce more preformed pouches.

“It gave us the capability and flexibility to run larger pouch volume, so we can make larger products,” Beckman said.

With all the business activity lately at Technipaq, Rosenburg, who helped orchestrate the two recent investments at the company, had to pause and think whether Technipaq soon will add a third building to handle the increased workload.

“Probably sooner rather than later,” Rosenburg said with a laugh. “We are getting tight on space again.”

Citibank to drop consumer banks in struggling South America

By JOSHUA GOODMAN The Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia – Citibank is planning to sell the consumer banking operations it has operated for a century in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia as South America’s three biggest economies suffer a major downturn.

The New York-based bank said Friday in a statement its decision was prompted by a desire to allocate resources where it can generate the best returns. The decision to eliminate its services affects depositors in more than 50 cities in the three countries.

The slowing of China’s economy has plunged all three into an economic down spiral with Brazil, the region’s biggest economy, struggling to emerge from its deepest recession since the 1930s. Foreign banks have taken a hit in dollar terms as the country’s currency has collapsed although profits overall continue to rise as a result of some of the world’s highest interest rate.

Although much smaller, its business in Argentina is storied.

Citibank in 1914 opened its first foreign branch in Argentina, when it

rivaled Canada as an emerging agricultural powerhouse, and lumbered through decades of dictatorship, hyperinflation and pot-banging protesters outside its downtown headquarters during the country’s 2001 financial crisis when it was ordered to seize depositors’ accounts and make emergency loans to the government.

Argentina’s current problems, including inflation that’s forecast to surge to 30 percent this year amid several years of stagnant growth, seem far more mundane by comparison. And after years of fighting over defaulted debt with leftist former President Cristina Fernandez, the doors seemed wide open under her successor, Mauricio Macri, a former businessman who has made attracting foreign investment a top priority.

Next month, President Barack Obama will become the first U.S. president to visit Buenos Aires since Bill Clinton.

Citibank said it would still continue servicing corporate clients in the three countries.

The bank in 2014 dropped consumer banking in 11 other Latin America nations.

This rendering provided by PepsiCo shows the concept of what Pepsi’s Kola House, the first experimental kola bar, restaurant, lounge and event space to open in the U.S. market, is expected to look like. for the vast majority of the market. But Americans keep reaching for alternatives, with soda facing a proliferation of competitors and being blamed for fueling obesity. Between 2000 and 2014, U.S. soda sales volume fell 14 percent, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest.

If they’re selling less soda, Coke and Pepsi at least want to charge more for it by giving it more cachet.

It’s why PepsiCo in 2014 introduced Caleb’s Kola, which comes in a glass bottle with the words “Honor in craft.”

At a Beverage Digest conference soon after, CEO Indra Nooyi said soda had lost some of its “cool factor” and drinks such as Caleb’s were helping bring it back.

That cool factor comes with a price.

NEW YORK – Coke and Pepsi want to shake their Big Gulp image and cultivate a more hipster appeal.

The two soda giants are trying to rehabilitate soda’s cheap image and fetch higher prices as Americans keep cutting back on sugary fizz.

That means more stylized cans and bottles of Coke, and the expansion of Mexican Coke, which is sweetened with sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. Pepsi is pushing “craft sodas” and even plans to open an eatery “honoring the kola nut” in New York City in the spring.

A press release for Pepsi’s Kola House last month was peppered with marketing buzzwords, and said the lounge would have a “resident cocktail curator” and “artisanal menu.” The idea is its mere existence could burnish soda’s image, even if most people never go.

“At the end of the day, we just have to stay culturally relevant,” said Seth Kaufman, chief marketing officer for PepsiCo beverages in North America.

Soda remains a big business, with the familiar sizes such as 12-ounce cans and 2-liter bottles still accounting

for $1.49, compared with $1.99 for a 10-ounce bottle of Caleb’s.

PepsiCo also introduced Mountain Dew Dewshine that comes in a glass bottle and is made with sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, and displayed a soda called “1893” at a trade show. Like Caleb’s, 1893 is a reference to Pepsi’s creation by Caleb Bradham in 1893.

“It does address the coolness problem – or attempts to address the coolness problem,” said Ali Dibadj, a Bernstein analyst.

Dibadj said the focus on craft sodas is an attempt to emulate what happened in the beer industry, where craft beers have been the main driver of growth. But Dibadj thinks craft’s potential on soda may be more limited, since soda’s problem for most people isn’t taste, but the calories.

There is no definition for what makes a soda “craft,” but the trend is characterized by traits such as glass bottles and ingredients that are seen as more wholesome. Jaime Jose, a 21-year-old student from New York, doesn’t drink soda but said she’s tempted to buy the glass bottles of Coke as an occasional treat.

“It’s that retro thing of having a story behind it,” Jose said.

Playing ‘good dad, bad mom’ harms mother-son relationship Dear Abby: How do I connect with my son? He is 4, and he prefers his father to me. I generally “get” to be the bad guy – the one who takes him to doctor appointments, gives icky meds, enforces bedtime and keeps order.

Dad doesn’t even have to try to get affection. They are best buds. My son even asked me to go away so Dad would love him more. It stings. Aren’t boys supposed to love their moms? – Sad Mom In West Virginia Dear Sad Mom: Of course they are. Parenting responsibilities are supposed to be shared, and these days many men step forward and share those responsibilities. Your husband appears to think being a “bud” is more fun than being a father. Making you the “bad mommy” while he is the “good guy” is unfair not only to you,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips but also to your son.

The two of you already should have formed a united front when it comes to discipline. If this is allowed to continue, your boy will play each of you against the other – if he isn’t already – and your problems are only starting.

Dear Abby: I am a medical receptionist with a university medical group. It is common for people to approach my counter and “hover” next to the person I am helping, listening to the information I’m being given without any regard to it being private. When I ask them to stand back,

they usually get upset with me.

I’m tired of people acting like it’s me who’s being rude. I could get in trouble by not speaking up because private medical information is supposed to be protected. Would you please inform your readers that standing and listening to people while they are being checked in for a medical appointment is not OK, and if they are asked to step away to not take it personally? – Tired Of Asking Dear Tired: I’ll inform them, but I have another suggestion to offer: Discuss this problem with your office manager and ask if it would be prudent to post a sign asking patients not to stand within 3 feet of the reception desk when waiting to sign in. That way the onus won’t be on you, everyone’s privacy will be protected and no one will be offended.

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

Dear Abby: I’m 12. I love dancing and singing, but my mom has told me many times I’m not good at it. It has lowered my self-confidence.

I’m now scared to sing or dance in public, although when I was younger, I would do it happily. What can I do to feel OK about my dancing and singing abilities? – Entertainer In San Francisco Dear Entertainer: Nobody starts

out being a star. Talent needs to be developed and nourished before it can blossom. If you enjoy singing and dancing, continue to do it – if only for the joy it brings you – and stop worrying about approval from others, even your mother.

• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

2 STATE WRESTLING FINALS

‘IT WAS JUST AMAZING’

PR’s Piotrowski, A-H’s Cashmore, D-C’s Brunner, CLC’s Petersen win state titles

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – In the summer months between last wrestling season and this one, Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny Petersen stripped all the trophies and brackets from his walls. He took the mementos he had accumulated from a successful youth and high school wrestling career and stuck them in the basement.

“He saidm ‘Mom, I’m going to start from the beginning,’ ” Veronica Petersen recalled Saturday. “I was like, ‘Come on Lenny, this is all your life.’ I put it (up) again, the next day he put it down, like, ‘I will start all over again, mom.’

And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh.’

“I knew he was determined. He was so focused all year, working so hard that I just think (it) paid off here today.”

He explained later that he hid the old trophies because he wanted to be a different wrestler than the one who had won those awards – he wanted to be a state champion.

On Saturday night, Petersen pinned Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton in the third-period to win the 2A 138-pound state title.

“I just squeezed as hard as I could and shut my eyes,” Petersen said. “When I heard the pin, I couldn’t believe it. I had no emotions. I got my hand raised and it all came to me.”

He was one of four local wrestlers to win state titles on Saturday night at the State Farm Center at the University of Illinois.

Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski, Alden-Hebron’s Colten Cashmore and Dundee-Crown’s Christian Brunner also won their championship matches.

“There’s not even a word to describe it,” Piotrowski said. “It was just amazing. I’m just glad I got the opportunity to.”

For Piotrowski and Brunner, it was the culmination of an undefeated senior season.

Piotrowski (126) finishes 40-0 and with the state title that eluded him in three previous trips to state. When he needed points the most, scoreless in overtime of the 2A final against Marian’s Carlos Champagne, Piotrowski went to his favorite takedown.

“I fake tap the head and I duck it into a double,” Piotrowski said.

It did the trick, as he became the second Prairie Ridge wrestler to win a state title and the first since 2010.

“That was a sweet takedown,” he said. “So once I got it, I was like, ‘Oh thank God, I’m just glad it’s over now.’ ”

q THE NUMBER State champions from the area for the second consecutive year.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton on coming back for his senior year after losing the 2A 138 final to Lenny Petersen: “It’s going to give me a lot of drive to push hard and be on top of that podium next year.”

In the 3A 195-pound final, Brunner finished off a 48-0 senior season and broke his own school record for most wins in a season, topping the 47-1 he posted last year.

That one win was the most important. After finishing second as a sophomore and third as a junior, Brunner won his first title Saturday with a second-round pin of Metea Valley’s Dylan Ervin.

“Once I felt that half sink in and his shoulder kind of turn down I was just squeezing and squeezing,” Brunner said. “I saw (the referee) counting near fall and I was just hoping for the fall.”

Once the referee raised his hand and Brunner had pointed to the section of teammates and family in the upper deck, he sprinted to his father in his corner and leaped into a gigantic hug.

“It felt great. I was looking at coach Hayes and my dad and they were going wild and I just ran over there and jumped up,” Brunner said. “I didn’t even know if he was going to catch me at first.”

Brunner is the third state champion in school history and the first since 2008.

Cashmore (170) did them all one better, becoming the first state wrestling champion in his school’s history. He used a third-period escape to beat Dakota’s Andrew Wenger, a returning state finalist, by 3-2 decision. Cashmore is only the second medalist in school history after Dave Nor took third in 1991.

“It’s something I’ve always dreamt about, winning a state title,” Cashmore said. “With my family and friends here, it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.”

His father, who has been mat-side as the Giants coach, joked that maybe the town would change the water tower, which is painted like a basketball to commemorate the school’s 1952 state championship team.

Cashmore’s title Saturday was the first for the Giants in any sport since then.

In the last match of the night, Crystal Lake Central’s Austin Parks lost a 10-3 decision to Ridgewood’s Vinny Scaletta in the 2A 220 final. Parks had beaten Scaletta in overtime of their 2A Antioch Sectional final, but on Saturday Scaletta’s size was too much for the undersized Parks who had moved up to 220 from 195 for a better shot at reaching the state final.

At the end of the night, with everyone on the floor taking photos, Petersen was carrying his brand new IHSA state championship bracket board like the rest of the champions. Where will that one go, he was asked.

“Probably with the rest. I’m probably going to turn it around,” the junior said. “I’m going for my second one next year. I’m not going to be riding on this one tournament for the rest of my life.

I’ve got bigger things. … It helps me motivate myself.”

STATE WRESTLING FINALS

History made as three win place matches

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – In consecutive matches Saturday on the same mat at the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center, Crystal Lake Central’s Michael Petersen and Hampshire’s Wylie Allen won third-place matches to end their senior seasons.

In the moments after those wins, both pointed to previous state tournament-related failures as providing the fuel to get there.

“Losing last year, that’s what did it,” said Allen, who went to state as a sophomore but missed out as a junior. “I worked every day because I knew that’s what everybody else does that does good here. State champs, state placers, they work every day and that’s what I had to do and that’s what I did.”

Petersen, who claimed his second third-place finish on his third trip to state, drew on a wound that was less than 24 hours old.

“My whole life I wanted to be a state

champ, but after losing (in Friday’s semifinal) to the state champ that won last year, I could have just gave up because I didn’t reach my goal,” Petersen said. “But getting that third place, it’s a lot more gratifying and I’m happy I really worked that hard for it.”

Petersen (145) bounced back from Friday’s semifinal loss with a 9-1 major decision in his consolation semifinal, and then won the third-place match with a 9-4 decision over Demarius Smith of Rantoul.

Allen’s third-place finish at 152 in 2A is the best in Hampshire history.

He is just the second Whip-Pur to medal at state, the first since Jeff Zopfi took fourth in 1A in 1985. Finishing at 40-4 on the year, he leaves Hampshire with the record for wins in a season as well as career wins. He was the school’s first sectional champion.

“It means everything to me,” Allen said. “I worked every day for this opportunity right here. I did not make it here last year as a junior, that motivated me to work every day and that’s what I did. And it’s because of that and

these coaches over here and my family and friends up there, they kept me going on my path to get here and I’m grateful for that.”

The county’s other wrestler in a third-place match also made some school history.

Huntley’s Josh Stenger (120) lost his 3A third-place match, giving up four points in the third period for a 4-2 loss to Sandburg’s Kevin Sterns, but still ended up as the best finisher in program history.

“It’s a great feeling, especially coming short last year of a medal,” Stenger said. “I wrestled some really good competition, some really good, tough guys that I beat and it’s just a great feeling to come down here and top four in the state, that’s a huge accomplishment.”

He’s just the second medalist in Huntley history, following Joshua Symbal, who took fifth in 2012.

“It’s definitely really special because we’re a newer program,” Stenger said. “To be the second one and the highest placer is just a really good feeling to have that name up on

the wall of fame at the school.”

The other local wrestler to win a place match was Woodstock’s Kevin Zange (160), who finished fifth in 2A. The senior missed state last year after qualifying as a sophomore and then got a slow start to this year because of offseason shoulder surgery.

“I’ll be honest, like the first month and a half of coming back I was so rusty and weak,” Zange said. “Then once it started kicking in, like mid-January I’m like, ‘I know I’m going to do well at state this year.’”

After losing his consolation semifinal in the morning, Zange finished his career with a 6-2 decision over Urbana’s Felix Imbanga in the fifth-place match.

“It feels great, just to finish off my senior year with a win,” Zange said.

“Caps off my whole year with one match, it’s awesome.”

Harvard’s Sergio Esquivel (2A 120) and Prairie Ridge’s Dereck Pearson (2A 285) lost fifth-place matches to finish their senior seasons in sixth place on their first trips to state.

GIRLS GYMNASTICS STATE MEET

REPEAT PERFORMANCE Wolves co-op rolls to second straight title as Baars wins bars

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com PALATINE – Prairie Ridge co-op gymnast Nikki Baars went about business in her usual unflappable manner, not realizing what she had accomplished until the uneven bars competition was finished.

Baars raised her score from Friday’s preliminary competition by two-tenths of a point to win the individual uneven bars title Saturday at the IHSA girls gymnastics state meet at Palatine High School.

It was the second consecutive year one of the Wolves took that championship. Senior Maddie Solka shared the title last year, but fell trying to execute a difficult skill Saturday and did not repeat. Instead, the ever-steady Baars scored 9.575 to win the event. She tied for third in the all-around, took third in floor exercise and tied for fifth on the balance beam.

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com Baars, Solka and Liz Sysol all imPrairie Ridge co-op’s Maddie Solka com- proved their performances in the finals petes in the floor exercise final during to lift Prairie Ridge co-op to its best Saturday’s girls gymnastic state meet at score in team history with 150.6 points.

DeKalb was second with 148.075. PraiPalatine High School.

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Liz Sysol

Prairie Ridge, Junior

Sysol, who attends Cary-Grove, again rose to the occasion by improving her uneven bars from 9.25 to 9.4 in the finals, helping lift the Wolves’ team score to the highest in team history.

q THE NUMBER

4

State medals for Prairie Ridge junior Nikki Baars, a junior from C-G, who tied for third in all-around, was first on uneven bars, third in floor exercise and tied for fifth on balance beam.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Prairie Ridge’s two highest scores in team history were achieved this year, with a 150.4 at the Lake Forest Invitational and a 150.6 to win the IHSA girls gymnastics state meet. rie Ridge’s co-op team draws athletes from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge.

The Wolves now have back-to-back state team championships.

“Bars was definitely a shocker,” Baars said. “I did not think I did that

well. All my training helped, it was worth it. Winning was even better.”

The all-around results, with Baar tying for third, were finished Friday. She scored 9.625 to take third in floor exercise Saturday.

“It was pretty good,” Baars said of her floor routine. “I just went out there and had some fun. That’s really all I felt I needed to do.”

Wolves coach Lee Battaglia, who owns Crystal Lake Gymnastics Training Center where all his athletes train, was not surprised by Baars’ performance.

“If I did not watch the state meet and stopped at halfway through the season, and someone said Nikki won all-around or bars or beam, it wouldn’t have surprised me,” Battaglia said. “I tell the kids, just do what you do and do it to the best. She’s a competitor.”

Solka took fourth in floor exercise (9.575) and fifth in vault (9.675). She will attend Illinois State on a gymnastics scholarship next year.

“It was OK, I fell on bars, it could have been better, but it’s OK,” Solka said. “Floor felt good. I always wanted to make floor finals and show it off, that was good.”

Cowboys QB Tony Romo recently opened up in a podcast with The Village Church in Dallas, according to the Dallas Morning News. When he was struggling in training camp in his second season, Romo considered giving up football to pursue golf as an assistant pro at a course in his hometown Burlington, Wisconsin, located about 15 miles north of Richmond. The Cowboys’ center, Travis Frederick, graduated from Big Foot High School just north of Harvard.

The thing is, Solka won’t be on that team. She will be an Illinois State Redbird, but hopes to return to the IHSA girls gymnastics state meet to watch the Wolves bid for a third state team championship.

“They’re so good,” Solka said. “I can’t wait to come back and watch them kill it. I know they will.”

The Wolves lose two NCAA Division I girls – Solka and Kendall Rumford (Southeast Missouri State) – along with senior Becca Ruff. But the lineup was so loaded this season that it was a struggle for talented gymnasts to grab one of the five spots in each event.

The Wolves won the team title with 150.6 points, well ahead of second-place DeKalb (148.075). Junior Nikki Baars, who left the state meet with four medals, will be back to lead the group.

“We just have to come back next year and be stronger,” Baars said.

“I feel like we can get stronger from here.”

So does Rumford.

“It’s just going to keep getting better,” she said. “There’s so many girls that are coming up, gymnastics is going to get better and better.”

10 STEVENSON BOYS SWIMMING SECTIONAL

C-G co-op reaches state in five events

McHenry to compete in area-high six

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com LINCOLNSHIRE – Cary-Grove coop boys swimming coach Rick Schaefer’s eyes teared up after Saturday’s sectional at Stevenson High School.

His team had put together a great performance in the pool, but it wasn’t the reason for the tears. Instead, it was a result of his next statement: “This is my last season.”

After five years full of dual victories and FVC crowns, the Trojans coach announced that he is stepping down after next weekend’s state finals in Evanston.

“It was a great day,” Schaefer said “Four years ago, when these kids were freshmen, we went 3-13 and finished fifteenth in state. To see where they’ve come to is such an accomplishment.”

The Trojans, which finished fifth with 157 points, didn’t leave Schaefer disappointed, qualifying for state in five different events.

Cooper Langanis reached state in the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard free, while Nick Jasinski was below the standard cut time in the 100 backstroke (second place). The Trojans’ 200 free and 400 free relay teams also qualified.

“All-time best for me,” Langanis said. “I got second (twice), but I couldn’t be mad, I was happy with the time and I was against a good kid. It’s so much more fun making state with a group of guys.”

McHenry (126 points), which ended up sixth, had the highest number of local qualifiers with six.

Kevin Braun broke a 2002 Stevenson pool record set by now six-time Olympic medalist Matt Grevers in the 100 free. His time of 45.56 seconds was the fastest recorded time in Illinois, while his 50-yard free time (20.96) was fourth-fastest.

“It’s great, especially since it’s my fastest time in over a year. I’m

His teammate, Trey Schopen, qualified for the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly, finishing fourth in both. The Warriors’ 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams took third, also making state.

“I wasn’t necessarily concerned with my time,” Schopen said. “Today was about making state and focusing on getting a better time Friday.”

Jacobs, which scored 52 points for eight place, had a pair of sixth-place finishes from Francis Ogaban (100 backstroke) and its 200 medley relay squad.

Marian Central’s (19 points, eleventh place) lone competitor, Davis Meyn, tied for fourth in the 100 breaststroke, just missing the state cut time.

He also took sixth in the 200 freestyle.

It was his first-ever appearance at sectionals.

“I was pretty nervous. It’s a new experience,” Meyn said.

BOYS BASKETBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 55, WOODSTOCK 45

Prairie Ridge tops Woodstock to finish FVC Fox undefeated

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Prairie Ridge didn’t hold a lead against Woodstock until the final minute of the third quarter on Friday.

But it wasn’t until the fourth quarter when Wolves coach Corky Card thought his team finally outworked its opponent.

“They were out-scrapping us,” Card said. “Good energy by them (Woodstock), and I thought we were doing all we could to match it. But it wasn’t there.”

By the fourth quarter, the Wolves finally gained control.

Brian Dorn scored two quick buckets to start, Payton Otto knocked down his third 3-pointer and Christopher Bradshaw did the dirty work, collecting eight rebounds and giving the Wolves extra lives on offense.

Prairie Ridge turned a tie game after three into a 55-45 Fox Valley Conference Fox Division boys basketball victory, finishing off a perfect season in conference play. The Wolves (22-3, 12-0 FVC Fox) have won 11 in a row, and haven’t lost since the calendar turned to 2016.

“We were just getting good looks and getting to the free-throw line,” said Bradshaw, who had seven points and 14 rebounds. “I was just down there and chasing after the ball and they were bouncing Payton Otto my way. It’s the fourth quarter. You’ve got to get those extra possessions.”

Bradshaw’s heroics in the fourth helped the Wolves finish off Woodstock (18-6, 8-4), but it was Otto who did most of the scoring early on.

The senior guard finished with 25 points on 6 of 10 shooting, but left with 5:10 left in the fourth after taking an elbow to the face and cutting his nose.

Otto, sporting a bandage on the bridge of his nose after the game, said the injury would likely require one or two stitches. Card said the play reminded him of when retired Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash broke his nose in 2010.

Otto returned and hit a pair of free throws with 1:40 left.

“Beginning of the game we came out slow,” said Otto, who was 10 of 10 from the foul line. “I know I came out and turned the ball over two possessions in a row. We learned and adapted to how they were playing.

Five members were inducted into the Woodstock Blue Streaks at halftime on Saturday: Jim Hicks, Sharon Little, Adam Vetere, Elise Beattie and Mike Liedtke.

“We were just getting good looks and getting to the freethrow line. I was just down there and chasing after the ball and they were bouncing my way. It’s the fourth quarter. You’ve got to get those extra possessions.”

Christopher Bradshaw Prairie Ridge senior guard

As we did that, things started to click there at the end. Once things start clicking, you pick up the intensity on defense and it starts to flow.”

The Wolves connected on 18 of 23 foul shots while the Streaks went 4 of 10, but the difference in the game was the fourth-quarter rebounding, according to Woodstock coach Al Baker.

Prairie Ridge had 11 rebounds in the final eight minutes to Woodstock’s two.

“I wish I had an explanation for it,” Baker said. “I thought we rebounded great for three quarters, and I thought it was the reason why we won the first two quarters. It was an eight-minute game in the fourth quarter, and all of a sudden we decided we couldn’t rebound.”

Vannis Smith led the Streaks with 12 points, all on 3s, while Dan Shook and Blake Brainard both had seven.

For Prairie Ridge, Dorn finished with 10 points and Cory Lamb added seven.

BULLS

McDermott’s big game ‘long time coming’

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com Doug McDermott knows how it works.

The Bulls used two draft picks to trade for the one-time Creighton scoring machine, acquiring him from Denver as the 11th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

It was a big price to pay, and big expectations followed. McDermott’s rookie season? Call it a redshirt year that he never had in college. The 6-foot-8 forward had to learn a new position, a new way to play defense, the Association’s physicality, and then deal with a minor knee surgery that cost him almost five weeks.

But Year 2 was supposed to be different.

Then came this past January.

Doug After a 13-point game against the McDermott New York Knicks on New Year’s Day, McDermott had back-to-back games in which he went scoreless. As a matter of fact, he had five games that month in which he took the big goose egg in the box score. So of course there was fallout.

If McDermott was being judged by himself that would be one thing. But considering the recent misses by the organization’s front office in the draft, it was easy to group him in with Marquis Teague and Tony Snell.

Then came Friday night against Toronto. Finally. After an afternoon “I believe in you” pep talk from coach Fred Hoiberg, McDermott torched the Raptors for a career-high 30 points, shooting 13 for 17, as well as 4 for 5 from beyond the 3-point line.

“I feel like it’s a long time coming,” McDermott said. “There’s been a lot of ups and downs, and I just stayed with it. Obviously, it’s just one game

so I’m not going to get too high on myself, but it’s definitely a good start for my confidence.”

And a deep breath for Hoiberg.

One of Hoiberg’s priorities coming into this season was to build McDermott back up after a rough rookie campaign. It’s been a slow process.

“He did a little bit of everything,” Hoiberg said of McDermott’s career night. “He looked like Doug McDermott from his Creighton days.”

McDermott knows there has to be more of that.

While he says he doesn’t think about being a lottery pick these days, he’s also very aware that there are huge expectations on him.

“You just gotta let that number go,” McDermott said of being the 11th overall pick. “I don’t even think about it anymore. Guys in my draft class, some are doing really well, some are struggling. I just think it’s too early to tell. I think it takes a few years for guys to get established, and I don’t think about the pick at all.”

McDermott’s right about one thing: The jury is still out on him, but also the rest of the lottery picks from that class.

No. 3 pick Joel Embiid has been injured, No. 4 pick Aaron Gordon is really good at dunk contests, No. 5 pick Dante Exum has been injured, No. 8 pick Nik Stauskas was traded and has been inconsistent, No. 9 pick Noah Vonleh was a disappointment and traded, and the list goes on.

“To be honest, I’m my biggest critic and I’m hard on myself,” McDermott said. “Sometimes that carries over to games and I can’t allow that to happen. I’ve got to continue to work. I work my butt off every day, and hopefully it starts paying off.

“I don’t really feel the pressure too much. I feel like I’m playing fine. I know it’s obviously a big stage and there’s a lot expected of me, but I’m going to continue to work and continue to build on this.”

McHENRY – McHenry guard Gavin Markgraff burst out in front of the play, staring at nothing but open court. He jumped, extended his long right arm and slammed the basketball through the hoop.

The Warriors’ bench erupted, as junior forward Matthew Mohr ran from across the court to chest bump his teammate.

The dunk gave McHenry its first lead of the game midway through the second quarter. The Warriors never again trailed in what became a 53-44 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory.

“Once we got that dunk, they called a timeout and the momentum switched for the rest of the game,” said Markgraff, who paced the Warriors with 22 points. “We just don’t like South, really.”

The Warriors (13-14, 7-3 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division) continued their run after the dunk and went on to outscore South, 11-0, in the second quarter. South (15-11, 7-3 FVC Valley) never fully recovered from the second quarter slump.

“It’s hard to go scoreless in a quarter and win against a good team,” South coach Matt LePage said. “It’s just tough. You’ve got to give them credit.

They played with a ton of energy.”

With the win, McHenry edged South for sole possession of second place in the final FVC Valley standings, the highest it has finished in the school history. The two teams split regular-season competitions (South won the first meeting, 42-39). However, based on the second tie-breaking criteria (points differential head-to-head), McHenry’s 9-point win bumped the Warriors ahead of South.

McHenry will play Grayslake North in its FVC crossover Tuesday. South

mlazerus@suntimes.com MINNEAPOLIS – The Blackhawks are playing in their fourth outdoor game Sunday at Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium. It’s their third straight year with an outdoor game, and they’re likely headed to St. Louis’ Busch Stadium for next year’s Winter Classic.

Meanwhile, 13 NHL teams haven’t gotten a single outdoor game yet.

Well, the Hawks aren’t about to apologize.

“We kind of deserve it,” Niklas Hjalmarsson said “We’ve had a couple of good years in a row, and we have a big fan base – not only in Chicago, but everywhere we go. We probably have the most fans on the road.

It’s good for our fans for us to have these kinds of games, too, and give them a little treat.”

It’s also good for the Hawks, who enter Sunday’s game – a game that, underneath all the pomp and circumstance, actually counts for a heated Central Division race – with a decided tactical advantage on the Minnesota Wild, who are making their outdoor debut. The Hawks have played in ideal conditions in 2009 at Wrigley Field (well, four of the current Hawks did, at least). They’ve played in the bitter cold amid heavy snowfall in 2014 at Soldier Field. And they played with a bright sun glare affecting their vision at Nationals Park last year. They’ve dealt with the odd optics of baseball stadiums, with the shoveling of snow delaying the game at nearly every stoppage, and with the switching of sides in the middle of the third peri-

od to share the glare. And, of course, they’re veterans of the big stage and the national spotlight.

The weather’s expected to be fine on Sunday – around 40 degrees and partly cloudy. But short of a rain delay, there isn’t anything Mother Nature can throw at them that they haven’t already dealt with.

“It’s fun,” Corey Crawford said of playing in so many outdoor games.

“As long as it’s not minus-40 out there, the guys are fine with it, I guess.”

This will be Crawford’s third such game, and he’s picked up a few pro tips along the way. The hardest part is depth perception – players are so used to fans being right on the glass, especially behind the nets. But in the stadium games, the stands can be more than 100 feet away. And a little snow’s a good thing – Crawford said it was easier to pick up the puck during the Soldier Field game, because it stood out better among the snow and the stadium lights at night.

For fans – and for television purposes – adverse weather conditions make the game more interesting.

But with two points on the line – “We’re playing for keeps,” Joel Quenneville reminded reporters three times – the players would rather not be impaired.

“I want to play hockey,” Hjalmarsson said. “That game in Soldier Field was a little too extreme. You couldn’t really make any plays. You just kind of had to just throw the puck away every single time you had it. I think it would be more fun for the crowd to see a good quality hockey game, and hopefully the weather allows us to perform and play a good game.”

Author Spotlight DENNIS LEE HAGUE Latest Book: “The Eyes of the Comet: An American Slave Odyssey” Publisher: Rawhide Publishing, Lake Geneva, through Amber Books of Phoenix Release Date: September 2015 Where can we find it?

The book is available everywhere books are sold, at The DuSable Museum in Chicago and www. theeyesofthecomet.net.

What’s it about?

The main characters in my novel, Anastasia and Reggie, have suffered through the holocaust of slavery in the south and escaped to the north, seeking a better way of life away from the daily indignities of slaves and the senseless cruelties. The story begins during the antebellum period of American history with the appearance of Halley’s Comet in 1835 and ends in 1843, when the Great Comet illuminates the skies.

Where did the idea come from?

I have a fascination for this period in our history and a strong interest in the equality of man. Also, few novelists and so few novels have offered accurate historical fiction about the subjects I’ve covered, with the notable exceptions of “Huckleberry Finn” and “Gone with the Wind.”

Also, when I was very young, riding my bicycle through the historical areas in and adjacent to my hometown, my education, four decades of teaching history, reading, my travels and experiences and my imagination led and inspired me to write “The Eyes of the Comet.”

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

The genre is historical fiction, and, quite simply, I’ve tried to reconstruct

Dennis Lee Hague the past and a specific timeframe in our history, incorporating actual past events and many people of that day into a fictitious manuscript.

The historic details and heart of the story are authentic.

Who is the intended audience?

I hope this book appeals to young and old alike. Additionally, the target is also the reader with an interest in American history and those seeking a fascinating novel.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

This took more than 10 years to write, and I first wrote a theatrical script.

A friend and associate with entertainment contacts drew interest to “The Eyes of the Comet” from the man who produced “Hair” on Broadway, Jed Bernstein, and the producer of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Hidalgo,” Chris Salvaterra.

Another filmmaker and producer, Fred Baker, said the original, unedited script was “brilliant – much too important for a filmmaker such as myself who paints on a much smaller canvas. It will one day be brought to the screen by a Ron Howard, Oprah Winfrey or a Kevin Costner.”

My friend/associate pushed me to convert my script into a book format, which I did. Like “Roots,” he sensed that “The Eyes of the Comet” is, quite simply, fine, informative and powerful entertainment, and I hope readers agree.

What is your education/background?

James Whitcomb Riley High School, South Bend, Indiana; Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana; United States Marines, intelligence in Vietnam; Ball State University, teacher and assistant while completing my master’s degree; Wheeling High School, Wheeling, Illinois, 32 years, teaching history and future studies; Wisconsin schools, substitute teacher, 10 years

strong, special and moving.

2. The news each day, especially recently.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

There are so are many reasons, some presented already. However, at the top of my list would be: 1. The speech of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream, delivered Aug. 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C. Each and every one of his words –

Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Hard/paperbacks

Who are your favorite authors?

Mark Twain and James Hilton Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

John Grisham Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Stephen King

What’s next for you?

I have an outline for my next novel about the University of Notre Dame, the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame and a seriously ill young boy.

Johnsburg students preview what’s in style for 2016 at fifth annual Prom Fashion Show

By LINDSAY WEBER

editorial@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – Johnsburg High School seniors have worked hard, prepared and finally are ready to take that walk – down the catwalk, that is.

The school’s post prom committee will host its fifth annual Prom Fashion Show, sponsored by Gipper Formal Wear, at 7 p.m. Feb. 25.

Meeting two weeks before the show to select styles, committee members and models chose mermaid-cut, long-sleeved and two-piece gowns to feature, as well as many other styles, many with tuxes to match.

Senior Sammi Wiersum may have gotten a sneak peak of what will be on the runway, but she said she still hasn’t said yes to a dress. This will be her second year modeling in the show, and she is hoping to get some ideas from others on the runway.

“I have no idea what I

want,” Wiersum said. “I know I want royal blue. I’ve tried on a two-piece, one with long sleeves and one with an open back and some others. I like seeing all of the different styles. If there is a dress style I don’t think I can wear, I might see it on another girl and think ‘oh that looks really good.

Maybe I can wear that.’ I’m really hoping to get some good ideas.”

Wiersum said she sees a lot of floral patterns and gem embellishments trending, but she’s keeping her eye out for her own unique look.

Jessalyn Bennett, manager of Gipper Formal Wear in McHenry, which is sponsoring the fashion show, has enjoyed advising the girls as they selected dresses for the event. A 2014 Johnsburg High School graduate, Bennett modeled in the show for two years and knows what teens will be looking for.

“This season, prints are really big,” Bennett said.

Continued from page 3 “There’s a lot of floral, a lot of polka dots, and the No. 1 color is black. The two-pieces are also one of the biggest trends we’re seeing.

“It really depends on the girl, because really there’s a dress out there for everybody and any body.”

Johnsburg resident Tricia Nimrick has two daughters, now in college, who participated in the show in previous years. She continues to volunteer as the post prom committee chairwoman. She said the fashion show is open to everyone, and invitations are being made to students from other schools.

“We really want this to be a community event,” Nimrick said. “It’s McHenry County’s only prom fashion show, and we’d love for other schools to come join us. It’s not just for Johnsburg High School students and parents.

A lot of the raffle items are prom-related from local businesses in McHenry County for hair, nails, corsages, etc., so they can be great for anyone.”

Social Sciences teacher Adam Bronars will be master of ceremonies, and intermission entertainment will be featured, as well. Admission is $5, and raffle tickets will be on sale for $1 a ticket or $20 for a wingspan, about 45 tickets. Event volunteer Tina Cheesman, dubbed The Donation Mom, said prizes range from $5 to $200, and the options will be plentiful.

“This is going to be a lot of fun, and the community is very generous,” Cheesman said.

“We have some really great stuff to raffle off,

Prom Fashion Show WHEN: 7 p.m. Feb. 25; doors open at 6:30 p.m.

WHERE: Johnsburg High School auditorium, 2002 W. Ringwood Road, Johnsburg COST & INFO: $5 at the door, www.facebook.com/jhspostprom from gift certificates for hair and nails to oil changes for your car.”

All proceeds will go to the junior class to plan the 2016 prom and to the post prom committee’s 2016 post prom event at Dave & Busters in Vernon Hills.

“I had so much fun at last year’s post prom, so I’m hoping this one tops it. It will be a new experience,” senior class president Sam Wakitsch said.

Wakitsch also will be a model in the show and was lucky enough to snag her dream dress during a fitting before the event. With the hard part out of the way, she said her goal for the evening will be to have fun, strike some cool poses on stage and raise some money.

“The show is really fun. It only features dresses that are available and not already purchased by another person from your school, so you won’t show up in the same dress as someone else,” Wakitsch said. “Last year I won a nail raffle, and it was one less thing I had to pay for. It’s one of my favorite events I do at the school. It’s going to be quite the show.”

Gem Talk – Caring for your Jewelry

Jewelry is a precious possession that has been crafted and designed to last several eras, but proper care is required in order to create heirlooms to be passed down through the generations. It seems simple, yet there are so many times stones are lost or prongs are broken because of improper jewelry care. With these simple steps you can ensure that your jewelry will have a very long life.

• Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place when you are not wearing it.

• Keep it in a jewelry box or in separate boxes like the ones they came in when you purchased them.

• Don’t just throw all of your jewelry together in a box or a drawer. Necklaces can get tangled and break, stones can scratch each other and the metals can also become scratched.

• Always remove your rings when you are doing the dishes, taking a shower, cooking (especially if you are touching the food you’re preparing) and when you are applying lotion. I can’t tell you how many times I have looked at a ring under the microscope and it’s just caked with lotion and grime, it’s pretty yucky!

• When you remove your rings, make sure you put them in a safe place. It would be a bummer to have to call a plumber to retrieve your wedding set from the drain because it was accidentally knocked in.

• Be sure you have current appraisals and insurance on your jewelry in case something unfortunate does happen.

In addition to following these guidelines, it is vital that you bring your jewelry in every six months to be checked and professionally cleaned by your jeweler. Most stores, including Steffan’s, offer this as a free service and it can be done while you wait. While it is at the store not only will your jewelry be thoroughly inspected to make sure there are no stability issues or broken pieces, it will get an amazing bath in the ultrasonic cleaner and come out looking like it did the day it was purchased! A little time invested with the proper care of your jewelry will save you a lot of money and heartache in the long run.

Despite low risk, stay informed about Zika virus The McHenry County Department of Health, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) closely are monitoring cases of Zika virus in the United States and around the world.

Residents of McHenry County and northern Illinois are at a very low risk for Zika virus. It primarily is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are found throughout many tropical regions of the Americas and some parts of the United States. Although Aedes mosquitos on occasion may be found in Illinois, their eggs cannot survive the freezing temperatures, and the mosquitoes would not be expected to become an established population in Illinois.

Before 2015, Zika outbreaks occurred in areas of Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

In May 2015, the Pam American Health Organization confirmed the first Zika virus infection in Brazil. Transmission of the Zika virus continues in the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, Pacific Islands and recently in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Zika cases have been reported in the continental U.S. (three cases in Illinois), but all were travelers returning from transmission countries.

Because there is not a vaccine or medication to prevent or treat the Zika virus, the CDC has issued

The Zika virus is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are uncommon in Illinois because their eggs cannot survive its freezing temperatures. travel advisories cautioning women who are (or could become) pregnant to avoid traveling to active virus transmission areas. Up-to-date travel information regarding areas of active Zika transmission can be found at the CDC travel website, wwwnc.cdc. gov/travel/page/zika-travel-information.

Zika virus symptoms include fever, rash, joint and muscle pain, red eyes and headache. These symptoms typically are mild and resolve without

needing medical attention. Although a direct link has not been confirmed, many studies show pregnant women infected with the Zika virus can pass the infection to their fetuses, which could result in babies born with microcephaly (small head) and/or other neurological abnormalities.

People traveling to areas of active virus transmission should take steps to prevent infection.

Recommendations include prevention of mosquito bites by wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants and applying insect repellent as directed.

Information about Zika virus is changing rapidly. The CDC, IDPH and the health department are working to make sure health care providers have access to updated recommendations and testing. If you recently traveled (within two weeks) to an area of transmission risk and have developed symptoms of Zika virus, see your health care provider and inform them of your travel dates and locations. If you are pregnant and have traveled to an area of transmission risk, whether you are having symptoms or not, call the McHenry County Department of Health at 815-334-4500 or your health care provider. For information, visit www.mcdh.info or www.cdc.gov.

Lonely Planet names Philadelphia its top U.S. destination for 2016

By KRISTEN DE GROOT The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Lonely Planet gave some love to The City of Brotherly Love last week, ranking Philadelphia the No. 1 place to visit in the United States in 2016.

“Philly’s on a roll right now,” the travel guide company said in a statement. “The city is experiencing a transformation to its urban core, yet retaining its deep American history and uniquely gritty flavor.”

The company noted Philadelphia hosted Pope Francis in September and will welcome the Democratic National Convention this summer. In November, it was named the country’s first World Heritage City.

“We always love to see Philadelphia get the recognition it deserves,” said Meryl Levitz, president and chief executive of Visit Philadelphia, the main tourism marketing agency. She said the city may seem like an overnight sensation, but it’s the result of years of work and collaboration.

And it’s not just about the Liberty Bell and cheesesteaks. Although Philadelphia’s rich colonial history

remains a draw, the city also nurtures a vibrant restaurant scene featuring hundreds of BYOBs, celebrity chefs and even a vegan fine-dining restaurant that was nominated for a James Beard award.

Artist Rafael Mantesso shows his bull terrier, Jimmy Choo, with a piano keyboard that Mantesso has drawn in on the floor around him, at his studio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

‘Dog Named Jimmy’ turns owner’s life around

By SUE MANNING

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Rafael Mantesso turned 30 in an empty New York apartment after divorce left every wall, floor, closet and shelf bare.

The only things he had left were his cellphone and a pit bull named Jimmy Choo his neighbors went out of their way to avoid.

But when he turned 33 on Jan. 14, people couldn’t get enough of his 6-year-old bull terrier – from the Instagram sketches-plus-photos of Jimmy that went viral, the book “A Dog Named Jimmy” and a collection of Jimmy-inspired bags and purses for the high-end fashion brand Jimmy Choo. (Mantesso’s ex-wife had named the dog for her favorite shoes.)

There are future plans too: a calendar, endorsements and launching the charitable Jimmy Foundation.

Meanwhile, Mantesso is working at an advertising agency in Sao Paulo in his native Brazil, and doing the occasional photo shoot.

The first night they were alone in the “naked” apartment three years ago, Jimmy did a happy dance through all the rooms. Mantesso picked up his phone and started shooting photos of Jimmy’s contagious dance of joy.

“When I sat in my empty living room, Jimmy was happy, running from one side to the other side, in circles, crazy. The apartment was a

playground to him. He was loving that empty place. That energy was amazing. I looked at him and said to myself, ‘Oh my God, I was thinking everything was lost and I had the most important thing in the house – Jimmy,’ ” Mantesso said in his Portuguese accented-English.

Jimmy is a white dog, but his ginger and red ears contrasted with the white walls, floors and ceilings.

At some point, Mantesso picked up a piece of white cardboard, drew a skeleton with a red heart on it, put it in front of Jimmy and took a photo.

He liked it, put it on Instagram (#jimmythebull) and they were in business.

The ideas came fast. Mantesso would put Jimmy in a pose, and the dog would freeze while he took photos. “I think Jimmy knows that I want him in that position and he just stays,” Mantesso said.

Jimmy kept Mantesso going at a time when he was feeling down. Because of Jimmy, Mantesso had to take a walk twice a day. Because he had to buy Jimmy food, he bought food for himself. And because of Jimmy, he was motivated to keep taking pictures. Eventually “A Dog Named Jimmy” was ready for the publisher.

They’ve come a long way since people demanded that Mantesso muzzle the pit bull. “People still cross the street when they see Jimmy, but now it’s to ask if they can take pictures with him,” he said.

Addiction ruins lives, but there’s reason to hope Mr. Atwater: My 22 year old son is a heroin addict. He’s been in drug treatment twice and has gone to detox another two times only to decline further treatment and go right back out and use heroin again.

I read in the paper about all these young people who are dying of heroin ODs, and it scares me to death.

I often lay in bed at night waiting for the phone to ring telling me he’s dead. I know I’ve been an enabler, and now I feel totally sucked in to his addiction, watching his every move, trying to control every action.

My marriage is in shambles, and I don’t know myself anymore. I’ve been to Al Anon because both my husband and oldest daughter have alcohol problems, however both are in recovery. This heroin business seems different; like it’s life or death every time he gets high. We’ve kicked him out of the house, drug tested him, taken almost every privilege away and he seems not to care.

He’s robbed us blind to the extent that when he’s at home we are on constant lockdown of all valuables.

I guess, whether he is or not, I’m at the bottom. I can’t go on like this and have considered just giving up and moving away without the rest of them. Probably not a good idea?

Dear Reader: I think you speak eloquently for the desperation and fear parents of heroin (and other drug) addicted kids experience. It places you in such a horribly powerless position, and with that powerlessness and fear comes the inevitable perception your options are narrowing or nonexistent. You become vulnerable to quick fixes, short-term solutions and decisions based on emotion. You are tired and want someone to take over, to tell you what to do and, most of all, to get out of your own pain.

It’s seductive and at the same time understandable.

The problem is getting immediately out of your pain isn’t the same

Teetsov-Lorenzo

Engagement

thing as helping the addict get out of his. There’s a knee-jerk desire to come to the rescue, chanting the mantra of saving the addict from overdose death. That’s understandable, too, but a reaction to your fear isn’t the answer to the addict’s issues, either.

We’ve come a long way in this area in understanding how to prevent ODs and in treating opiate addiction. The judicial system is well-trained and tuned in to how to manage opiate addicts. Most police departments have officers trained in the administration of Narcan (an anti-OD drug). Programs have been underway for years to raise awareness and improve treatment outcomes. Our local hospital system has protocols for dealing with prescription opiates and for handling ODs, and we have a healthy and growing population of young, recovering heroin addicts. Addiction, as it always has, continues to take and ruin lives,

but there’s every reason for hope.

The answer lies in your recovery.

When you shed the desire to escape immediate pain, you make better decisions and can separate your needs from your son’s. When you shrink your fear-reactions, you start to see options and hope returns. Hope is contagious and, I think, with the help of a “recovering family,” your son might just catch it. Don’t succumb to fear and quick fixes. Go back to your Al Anon meetings. Take your husband and daughter with and do the work. It might seem like it takes longer, but a long-term solution that works is better than a short-term solution that doesn’t.

Students stop to pet Butter, a 9-year-old golden retriever, before heading into an Ash Wednesday church service Feb. 10 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algonquin. Butter belongs to the church as part of the Lutheran Church Charities’ K-9 Comfort Dogs program.

A healthier Butter

K-9 Comfort Dog for Lutheran Church Charities returns to work after cancer

By JAMI KUNZER • jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Butter doesn’t move around as quickly as she used to, hobbling a bit as she navigates life with only three legs. And the chemotherapy she needed to fend off any cancer left behind despite the amputation has tended to tire her out.

But the 9-year-old golden retriever – whose name accurately describes the color of her thick coat of fur – hasn’t let any of that stop her from getting the job done. Her job?

“To let people do this,” said one of Butter’s handlers, Helga

Berutti of Algonquin, as she stroked Butter’s head while the dog rested her chin on her lap. “To pet, to love.”

Butter is a K-9 Comfort Dog, one of 124 such dogs throughout the country – all golden retrievers because of their easy-going demeanor – and believed to be the only one in the McHenry County area. Starting at about 10 weeks old, she was trained by Lutheran Church Charities to provide exactly what her title implies.

ABOVE: Students pet her after the service.

Butter belongs to the church as one of the first dogs in the Lutheran Church Charities’ K-9 Comfort Dogs program, started shortly after the 2008 shooting at Northern Illinois University. Butter had bone cancer and recently had one of her back legs amputated.

• BUTTER

Continued from page 9 For the past several months, Butter’s been in the prayers of all who know her at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algonquin, the church she was assigned to as a young pup as one of Lutheran Church Charities’ original K-9 Comfort Dogs.

A couple of months ago, Butter began limping a bit. She was brought to Spring Hill Veterinary Clinic in Carpentersville and was diagnosed with osteosarcoma cancer.

With the disease discovered in the bone of her back left leg, doctors amputated it in December. Butter underwent what is hoped to be her last round of chemotherapy last week.

“As quickly as they did [the amputation] and from the look of the X-rays before and after, it doesn’t look like the cancer spread,” said Cliff Beck of Algonquin, another of her handlers.

“They seem to think she’s doing well health-wise, and the cancer was caught early enough she’ll be OK,” said Beck’s wife, Debbie.

Butter has lived with the Becks for several years, moving in after her previous handlers died, but the couple is quick to say the dog is not theirs.

“She’s actually our church’s dog,” Debbie Beck said.

Butter greets all calmly, head down, tail wagging. Along with the church’s chapel, preschool and school, she regularly visits nursing homes and veterans’ hospitals.

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

Students gather around to pet Butter, a 10 year old golden retriever, after church service on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 10, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algonquin.

She’s gone to area high schools after tragedies, such as fatal car crashes and suicides, and visited with volunteers in Fairdale cleaning up after last April’s deadly tornado.

Her handlers, all trained by Lutheran Church Charities to learn the proper commands, have badges, and Butter wears her K-9 Comfort Dog vest. With the vest on, her handlers say, she’s all business.

“She is just a sweet, sweet dog,” said Richard Martin, K-9 director for Lutheran Church Charities (www. lutheranchurchcharities.org), who helped train Butter as a puppy. “From the very beginning, she was very

intuitive. She just had a natural sense about her to identify people that were either suffering emotionally or physically, just a sweet little dog.”

Asked to help people in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina, Lutheran Church Ministries saw the immense bond between humans and their pets when families refused to leave without their dogs, Martin said. Then in 2008, while comforting those affected by a mass shooting at Northern Illinois University, the ministry saw how much simply bringing a dog along seemed to help, he said.

“It’s medically proven petting a dog will lower your heart rate and

blood pressure,” he said. “It just brings a calmness. The dogs, for most people, are safe. It’s just a safeness that allows people to relieve their anxiety.”

Lutheran Church Ministries officially began the K-9 Comfort Dog Program in August 2008, and it grows annually, with 22 puppies now in training at the group’s Northbrook facility. Once trained, the dogs go wherever they’re requested.

“The more you get out, the more people see you, the more requests we get,” said Helga, who manages Butter’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/buttercomfortdog, where Butter posts her own statuses and photos.

“After chapel, I just have to play in the snow even if it is cold out,” a recent status says, along with a photo of her rolling in the snow.

Snacking only on carrots and cucumbers, Butter eats a special diet and gets regular baths. A Butter Fund at the church helps cover her living expenses, along with the cost to take her places. And once a year – Feb. 20 this year – the money raised at a dance hosted by the Greater Fox Valley Chapter of USA Dance goes to Butter, who attends as the celebrity of the night. Last year’s dance raised about $400.

It is hoped, with the chemotherapy behind her, Butter will continue doing what she does best, her handlers say.

“She’s there just to make people smile. She relaxes people when she’s around them,” Berutti said. “She’s got such a gentle heart.”
