Alleged victim of assault says she feared for her life

Andrew Zinke (left) and Bill Prim give their opening statements Tuesday during the McHenry County sheriff candidates’ debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Northwest Herald at McHenry County College.

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL CRYSTAL LAKE – The gloves came off Tuesday night when the candidates vying to be the next sheriff of McHenry County squared off in a debate.

Right out of the gate, candidate Bill Prim went on the offense in his opening remarks, commenting not on what he would do if elected, but saying what he wouldn’t.

When it was his turn, Andrew Zinke instead used his opening remarks to comment on his experience as the current undersheriff of McHenry County.

Prim, a retired police commander in Des Plaines, threw the first punch, bringing up a now-debunked allegation that Zinke tipped off a Crystal Lake business owner who was part of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration investigation into the shipment of marijuana.

The state’s attorney determined Zinke broke no laws, and an internal investigation

found he did not violate the sheriff’s office general orders.

A local blogger later filed a Freedom Of Information request for the internal investigation, and that remains part of a pending court battle.

Zinke called Prim’s allegations “bogus,” saying that “if you repeat it enough my opponent believes it’s true.”

Prim has a powerful ally in State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, who publicly endorsed him.

Prim says, if elected, their relationship will put an end to public battles between Bianchi and the sheriff’s office.

“I won’t create a division between other elected officials by publicly berating them,” Prim

Charles Oliver, 45, is charged with criminal sexual assault and unlawful restraint.

Prosecutors say he raped a woman he met through Craigslist. He also has been accused of raping seven other women; those cases are expected to be tried separately.

See RAPE TRIAL, page A9

Working relationships, budget at issue in race cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – Jurors on Tuesday watched a 12-minute video of a sexual encounter between Charles Oliver and the woman he’s accused of raping.

On the video, the alleged victim is heard whimpering as Oliver, 45, asks if she’s scared.

The woman’s answer was inaudible. Oliver then said, “Of what? Everything’s fine if you just do what you’re supposed to do.”

In her opening statement, Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein said that Oliver, who’s accused of raping multiple women, already had put so much fear into the woman that she’d agree to anything.

“If she wanted to get home, she had to do everything he said,” Eisenstein said. “Look at her eyes, her face. She’s not enjoying what’s happening.”

Oliver’s accuser was not in the courtroom when jurors watched the video. The Northwest Herald does not identify victims of alleged sexual assault.

Zinke downplayed the bad blood between Bianchi and retiring Sheriff Keith Nygren as a beef between those two men.

“The fact that Lou Bianchi and Keith Nygren don’t get along – that’s an issue for them to deal with,” he said. “I’ve got no hard feelings with Mr. Bianchi. I’ve got no issues with him.”

Zinke later pointed to his relationships with McHenry County police chiefs. He deliv-

ered the next blow, criticizing Prim for not reaching out to local law enforcement.

“You have to have a good working relationship with all law enforcement chiefs and police officers in McHenry County,” Zinke said. “You can’t come in here not knowing anyone and think you’re going to be efficient.”

WRESTLERS HEADED TO DUAL TEAM STATE

The District 156 teachers union is “very close” to striking, its spokesman said Tuesday afternoon.

The comment came as the union released a letter to parents in the McHenry-based district through email, its Facebook page and on its website, reiterating its stance that a strike is the last thing the teachers want. For more, see page B1.

Harvard’s effort Tuesday showed the Hornets are not yet willing to let coach Tim Haak ride off into retirement.

Massive data breach brings reality check Normally I’m not one to do much shopping in late November and early December.

I’m not a fan of crowds, and I rarely want anything badly enough to sit in a long line.

But a friend had just had a baby, so I took a deep breath and headed to Target on Dec. 5 for a gift.

Little did I know that I’d still be dealing with that visit.

By now, everyone has heard of the massive data breach that hit Target store shoppers throughout the United States between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013.

When I first heard the news, I felt a little sick. Target sent an email within days of the disclosure to reassure me that my information wasn’t going to end up in Indonesia.

Except, of course, that the company couldn’t guarantee that. All it could guarantee was that I wasn’t going to be liable for charges on my card that weren’t my fault.

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver Not too long thereafter, I got a similar email from my credit card company.

As luck would have it, the compromised card isn’t one I use often.

And I’ve been through the “unauthorized charges” drill on this card before.

A few years back, when online shopping was just coming into its own, I noticed a charge or two that I didn’t recognize.

One charge came from a clearly questionable website – one that would never, ever get my business, if you know what I mean.

After reassuring the customer service representative from the credit card company that no one in my house was responsible for said

charge, it was expunged with little fanfare.

Of course, this just made me hypervigilant.

So vigilant, it turns out, that I became a little overzealous in my calls to the credit card company.

I had to sheepishly admit that I probably was the one who had made a purchase at the Wisconsin State Fair from a vendor whose name I didn’t remember. (“Oh yeah, that. Sorry.”)

Since I diligently look at my credit card statements each month, I figured I had managed to ride out this Target breach.

That is, until my credit card company decided to issue me a new account number and card.

Not that I blame them. After all, they, not I, would be on the hook for the fraudulent charges.

Unfortunately, that does mean that I’m going to have to figure out which merchants will need the new digits. The credit card company even

helpfully sent me a list for my convenience.

Swell. Then again, I guess this beats the alternative – having to work through a list of fraudulent charges months down the road.

In the end, it was just another reminder of how powerless we are when it comes to so much of our personal information that’s out there.

Even relatively careful people like me aren’t immune.

So I suppose no one can blame me for being a little more hesitant about hauling out the plastic from here on out. It might not help the economy, but it probably will be beneficial to the Oliver household’s bottom line.

For a little while at least.

8TODAY’S TALKER

New index confirms this winter is miserable The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – A new winter misery index confirms what many Americans in the Midwest and East know in their all-too-chilled bones: This has been one of the harshest winters of our lifetimes. And nowhere has been hit harder, relatively, than Detroit.

Sure Chicago, Indianapolis and Philadelphia and Moline are in the midst of their third most extreme winters in more than 60 years. But Detroit is slogging through what so far is its most extreme winter since Harry Truman was president, at least, according to a

Count On Me...

Bill Hartmann

winter extremity index created by a National Weather Service meteorologist Barbara Mayes Boustead.

The index is based on cold temperatures and snowfall.

And so far Detroit has had more than 6½ feet of snow and 100 days when the temperature was below freezing. Of two dozen cities studied, Detroit alone is in the middle of its harshest winter since 1950.

Boustead, a former Detroit-area resident who now works in Omaha, Neb., created the index a couple years ago to judge the severity of winters. Omaha, by the way, is the only city in two dozen metro areas that Boustead ex-

amined that is not having an “extreme” or “severe” winter.

It’s merely average.

Boustead uses daily high and low temperatures and daily and accumulated snowfall to come up with an index that’s equivalent to the way hurricanes and tornadoes are categorized. Officially, it is called the Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index.

“I personally would call this a misery index,” said Boustead.

But to co-creator Steve Hilberg, the index measures “awesomeness.”

“I embrace winter rather than hating it,” said Hilberg, a meteorologist who works at

WHISPERING POINT OPHTHALMOLOGY

the Midwest Regional Climate Center in Champaign.

New York, Milwaukee and Duluth, Minn., are in the midst of their fourth harshest winters. Also having top-10 harshest winters are Minneapolis-St. Paul; Louisville, Ky.; Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and Cheyenne, Wyo. The idea is to put winter in context. This winter seems unusually harsh because it has been a while since the late 1970s and early 1980s when severe winters were far more frequent. Plus, for almost three-quarters of the places studied, the winter of 2011-2012 was the mildest on record, Boustead said.

GOP candidates differ on gun laws

By CHACOUR KOOP The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – As Illinois prepares to become the last state in the nation to issue concealed-carry gun permits, the four Republicans contending for Illinois governor express a range of differing views about additional gun issues facing the state, including a proposed ban on Election assault-style weapons and Central stricter guncrime sentencFollow the es. local, state In a camand national paign quesraces at tionnaire for NWHerald.

The Associated Press, the com/elecfour candition. dates – state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and businessman Bruce Rauner – all said gun rights need to be protected but that some public safeguards should exist.

The four differed over assault-style guns – high-capacity weapons that have been used in some of the

Weapons are seen for sale in January 2013 at Capitol City Arms Supply in Springfield. In a questionnaire, the four GOP candidates for governor, state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and businessman Bruce Rauner disagreed on whether assault-style weapons should be banned. deadliest mass shootings.

They currently aren’t illegal statewide, and a proposed statewide ban backed by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn was pulled from consideration last year in Springfield.

About 20 communities voted last year to ban them as part of the concealed-carry legislation process last spring.

Dillard, of Hinsdale, and Rauner, of Winnetka, both

left open the possibility they would support a ban. Rutherford, of Chenoa, and Brady, of Bloomington, oppose one.

In a slight turn from Republican platforms in support of expanded gun rights, Dillard indicated it’s possible he could support the ban depending on how the law was drafted.

“As a dad with young children, I’m concerned about

high-capacity weapons and public safety,” Dillard wrote.

Rauner gave a more vague answer, saying he supports background checks that keep guns away from criminals and people with mental illness.

“Going beyond that requires a very careful balance between promoting public safety and protecting constitutional rights,” he wrote.

By KERRY LESTER SPRINGFIELD – Efforts are underway to consolidate four lawsuits challenging Illinois’ new pension reform law, a move that could ultimately impact how the Legislature chooses to act on other underfunded municipal retirement systems around the state.

In recent weeks, lawyers for the four groups of state retirees that filed class-ac-

tion lawsuits have asked the state Supreme Court to allow them to present their cases as one.

Their motions follow a January request by the Illinois attorney general to consolidate the cases for the purposes of “just and efficient conduct.”

All four lawsuits share the common claim that the pension reform plan, passed in December, violates the Illinois Constitution, which says retiree benefits may

“not be diminished or impaired.”

Because three of the cases were filed in Sangamon County Court and another in Cook County Circuit Court, the Illinois Supreme Court must choose a court in which to hear the case if the consolidation motion is granted.

John Myers, a Springfield-based attorney who represents the Retired State Employees Association in its lawsuit filed in January, told The Associated Press he feels

Illinois House sets $34.5B spending amount for ’15

SPRINGFIELD – A Chicago violence prevention program ordered by Gov. Pat Quinn was so hastily organized and sloppily executed that state auditors questioned 40 percent of the expenditures claimed by service providers, a report released Tuesday said, prompting Republican lawmakers to call for a criminal investigation.

The Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, announced by Quinn in October 2010, spent $55 million in the first two years, which were examined by Auditor General William Holland.

The program aimed to reduce violence through jobs for young people, parenting skills classes, school counseling and help for people getting out of prison.

But the now-defunct Illinois Violence Prevention Authority, which created the project at Quinn’s behest, couldn’t produce the criteria it used to choose the targeted communities and failed to include seven neighborhoods that Chicago police consider to be the most crime-ridden, the audit found.

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois House Committee says the state will have $34.5 billion to spend in the upcoming fiscal year. Lawmakers approved a resolution for 2015 spending on Tuesday.

Marion Democrat John Bradley, chairman of the Revenue and Finance Committee, said the number takes into account the January 2015 expiration of the state’s income tax increase. The current Illinois budget has $35.6 billion in revenue. The measure now heads to the full House.

New Illinois lab to link companies with research CHAMPAIGN – The new public-private digital manufacturing lab planned for Chicago will mean 50 to 70 jobs for the city, a professor involved in the project says, but potentially far-reaching innovation for dozens of companies involved.

The new Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute announced Tuesday will be at Goose Island in Chicago, but the list of universities and companies involved in the public-private partnership is long. The 23 universities include the University of Illinois, Northwestern, the University of Chicago and Purdue.

there could be less of a bottleneck if the cases are consolidated in Sangamon County versus the more populous Cook County.

“The Sangamon County courts typically are quicker than Cook County. That’s the way it is,” Myers said.

While Myers said there isn’t a strategic advantage to consolidating the cases, he noted “consolidation does simplify things procedurally and avoids the risk of conflicting court decisions.”

FutureGen project gets OK for pipeline route SPRINGFIELD – Illinois regulators have given the FutureGen Alliance the go-ahead for a 30-mile carbon dioxide pipeline. The State Journal-Register reported that the pipeline would be buried at least four feet underground in northeast Morgan County. It’d be even deeper under farmland.

Junk food ads in schools targeted The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Female soldiers train on a firing range in September 2012 in Fort Campbell, Ky. Less than 8 percent of Army women who were surveyed said they’d like to move into a combat job, but those who did said they want a job that takes them right into the heart of battle.

Few women want combat jobs

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press FORT EUSTIS, Va. – Only a small fraction of Army women say they’d like to move into one of the newly opening combat jobs, but those few who do say they want a job that takes them right into the heart of battle, according to preliminary results from a survey of the service’s nearly 170,000 women.

That survey and others across the Army, publicly disclosed for the first time to The Associated Press, also revealed that soldiers of both genders are nervous about women entering combat jobs but say they are determined to do it fairly. Men are worried

about losing their jobs to women; women are worried they will be seen as getting jobs because of their gender and not their qualifications. Both are emphatic that the Army must not lower standards to accommodate women.

Less than 8 percent of Army women who responded to the survey said they wanted a combat job. Of those, an overwhelming number said they’d like to be a Night Stalker – a member of the elite special operations helicopter crews who perhaps are best known for flying the Navy SEALS into Osama bin Laden’s compound in 2011.

opportunities as men in combat jobs and the services have been devising updated physical standards, training, education and other programs for thousands of jobs they must open Jan. 1, 2016. The services must open as many jobs to women as possible; if they decide to keep some closed, they must explain why.

The Army says that about 200,000 of its 1.1 million jobs are either direct combat or related jobs such as field artillery, combat engineers and so on. That’s roughly 20 percent of the force, though the direct-combat front-line fighters make up roughly half of that or about 9 percent.

Throughout last year, the Army emailed questionnaires

to active duty, reserves and Army National Guard members to gauge soldiers’ views on the move to bring women into combat jobs. The results from the survey sent to women showed that just 2,238 – or 7.5 percent – of the 30,000 who responded said they would want one of the infantry, armor, artillery and combat engineer jobs.

Army officials also polled men and women on their concerns about the integration.

And they asked senior female leaders to say whether they would have chosen combat jobs if they’d been given that chance 10 or 20 years ago.

All agreed the physical standards for the jobs should remain the same.

WASHINGTON – It’s not just about what America’s kids are getting in the lunch line.

The White House is moving to phase out junk food advertising on football scoreboards and elsewhere on school grounds – part of a broad effort to combat child obesity and create what Michelle Obama calls “a new norm” for today’s schoolchildren and future generations.

“This new approach to eating and activity is not just a fad,” Obama said Tuesday as she described the proposed rules.

Promotion of sugary drinks and junk foods around campuses during the school day would be phased out under the Agriculture Department rules, which are intended to ensure that marketing is brought in line with health standards that already apply to food served by public schools.

That means a scoreboard at a high school football or basketball game eventually wouldn’t be allowed to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, though it could advertise

By the numbers Companies are spending $149 million a year on marketing to kids in schools, according to the Agriculture Department.

Ninety-three percent of food marketing in schools is related to beverages.

Diet Coke or Dasani water, also owned by Coca-Cola Co. Same with the front of a vending machine. Cups, posters and menu boards that promote foods that don’t meet federal standards would also be phased out.

The proposed school marketing rules come on the heels of federal regulations that now require food in school lunch lines to be more healthful.

The beverage industry – led by Coca-Cola Co., Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and PepsiCo – is on board with the new rules. American Beverage Association President and CEO Susan Neely said in a statement that aligning signage with the more healthful drinks that will be offered in schools is the “logical next step.”

Congress signals tough fight for Pentagon plan The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mexico: ‘El Chapo’ staying here The ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY – Mexico made clear Tuesday it is determined to keep Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in its highest-security prison for the foreseeable future, putting off U.S. extradition in a move that could bolster President Enrique Pena Nieto’s nationalist credentials but also shine a spotlight on the country’s woeful judicial system.

Experts say Pena Nieto’s administration and those of his predecessors have proven unable to match arrests like Guzman’s with complex, long-term investigations and prosecutions of deep-rooted criminal networks. Cases have stalled and cartels have continued to operate. Last year, one of Guzman’s closest allies walked out of the prison where the U.S. said he was running drugs from behind bars.

The Mexican government says there is no way Guzman will repeat the 2001 escape that let him roam western Mexico for 13 years as he moved billions of dollars of cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin around the world.

Authorities here say they want to be the first to interrogate Guzman, and use the information to dismantle his Sinaloa cartel, a multi-

At issue

WASHINGTON – Lawmakers signaled a difficult battle ahead for the Obama administration’s plan to dramatically overhaul the nation’s military, voicing opposition Tuesday to proposed cuts in benefit packages, long-standing weapons programs and bases that mean money and jobs across America.

The skepticism from both Republicans and Democrats augured poorly for Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s vision of shrinking the Army to its smallest size in three-quarters of a century and creating a nimbler force more suited to future threats than the large land wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade.

Tuesday’s advance of a new veterans bill also suggested Congress may be more interested in increasing military spending in a midterm election year.

The cuts “will weaken our nation’s security while the threats we face around the world are becoming more dangerous and complex,” Sens.

John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two leading GOP hawks, said in a joint statement. “Now is not the time to embrace a defense posture

Although Congress has agreed on keeping next year’s military budget just under $500 billion, major trade-offs must still be made to get under the cap.

reminiscent of the years prior to World War II,” they said, without outlining substitute cost reductions.

Tensions exist in both parties. GOP hawks are lining up against tea party supporters keen to rein in spending, while Democrats backing the Obama administration must deal with colleagues from military-heavy districts and states fretful about the potential fallout. Automatic spending cuts that landed heavily on the military were only eased somewhat by a budget agreement two months ago.

The evidence since then suggests appetite is waning for difficult decisions on defense reductions, especially as the nation gears up for congressional elections in November.

Two weeks ago, the House and Senate overwhelmingly eliminated a cut in veterans’ benefits of less than 1 percent that lawmakers themselves enacted only in December.

Two federal judges ruled Tuesday that Guzman will have to stand trial on separate drug-trafficking and organized-crime charges in Mexico. And the Pena Nieto administration said the man widely considered the world’s most powerful drug lord until his capture Satur-

day will face at least six other pending criminal cases before it even considers extraditing him to the U.S. “I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon,” Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said in a radio interview. “This is the start of a full investigation that will allow us to fully eradicate his organization. It would be pointless to do anything else.”

Mexico arrested another of the country’s most-wanted men, Zetas cartel head Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, in July, but members of his organization continue to carry out murders, extortion, rapes, robberies and extensive thefts from Mexico’s state-run oil company across a wide swath of eastern Mexico, said George Grayson, an expert on the cartel at College of William & Mary in Virginia.

“The sadistic violence continues, and the theft of explosives and chemicals continues,” he said.

Experts on both sides of the border warned that keeping Guzman in Mexican hands could squander the opportunity to exploit his unparalleled knowledge of the country’s biggest drug cartel.

U.S. prosecutors have proven far more capable of offering captured drug lords the incentives to cooperate with law enforcement, experts said.

U.S. officials routinely use family members as tools to pressure defendants into giving up information, granting visas to relatives of cooperative prisoners while threatening to leave loved ones penniless by freezing assets of drug lords who refuse to play ball.

Pro-Russian rally in Crimea decries ‘bandits’ in Kiev

By YURAS KARMANAU The Associated Press

AP file photo

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel speaks with U.S. troops Dec. 8, 2013, at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. President Barack Obama has ordered the Pentagon to plan for a full American withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of this year should the Afghan government refuse to sign a security agreement with the U.S., the White House said Tuesday.

Pentagon to plan Afghan exit Timing of U.S. pullout hinges on security pact

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a blunt warning to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, President Barack Obama threatened on Tuesday to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year if a crucial security pact isn’t signed – and he ordered the Pentagon to accelerate planning for just that scenario.

At the same time, in a rare phone call with Karzai, Obama indicated he was willing to wait his mercurial counterpart out and sign a security agreement with a new Afghan president after April elections. That would allow

the U.S. to keep as many as 10,000 troops in the country.

The effort seemed aimed at marginalizing Karzai’s role in the high-stakes negotiations over the future of the lengthy American-led war.

“We will leave open the possibility of concluding a [security agreement] with Afghanistan later this year,” the White House said in a statement following the call. “However, the longer we go without a [deal], the more challenging it will be to plan and execute any U.S. mission.”

Obama’s attempt to minimize Karzai’s importance to U.S. decision-making underscores how fractured the relationship between the two leaders has become. Tuesday’s phone call was the first direct contact between Obama and Karzai since last June.

The Afghan leader has deeply irritated Washington with anti-American rhetoric, as well as with his decision this

month to release 65 prisoners over the objections of U.S. officials.

The White House insists it won’t keep any American troops in Afghanistan after December without a security agreement giving the military a legal basis for staying in the country. While the White House did not publicly set a deadline for finalizing the agreement before that time, officials said the size and scope of the any U.S. mission could shrink the longer Obama waits.

Despite the troubled ties between Washington and Kabul, many of Obama’s advisers want to see American troops stay in Afghanistan after the war formally concludes in December. The Pentagon envisions keeping up to 10,000 troops in Afghanistan to focus on counterterrorism and the training of Afghan security forces, though some White House advisers would prefer

Ugandan paper lists ‘200 top’ gays The ASSOCIATED PRESS KAMPALA, Uganda – A Ugandan newspaper published a list Tuesday of what it called the country’s “200 top” gays, outing some Ugandans and raising fears of violence against those named just a day after the president enacted a severe anti-gay law.

Many on the list “are scared and they need help,” said Pepe Julian Onziema, a prominent Ugandan gay activist who was named in in the Red Pepper tabloid. “Some want to leave the country and they are asking to be helped.”

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday’s signing of the bill

by President Yoweri Museveni marked “a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights.”

He warned that Washington could cut aid to the East African nation over the new law, which punishes gay sex with up to life in prison.

“We are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values,” Kerry said in a statement.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon demanded the revision or repeal of the law, warning on Tuesday that it could fuel prejudice and harassment against gays.

The Red Pepper ran its list of names – and some pictures – in a front-page story under the headline “EXPOSED!” News editor Ben Byarabaha said the paper published

the full names of only the wellknown activists and tried to use nicknames for those not publicly gay. A popular Ugandan hip-hop star and a Catholic priest are among those on the list.

Byarabaha offered no details on how the names were compiled.

Onziema, who has warned that Uganda’s new law could spark violence against gays, said the tabloid had provided enough information to identify many people who had not come out publicly.

“Some of the employers have read the paper, and from the descriptions they can tell who these people are,” he said.

Homosexuality has long been criminalized in Uganda under a colonial-era law that outlawed sex acts “against the order of nature.”

keeping fewer troops, if any.

The U.S. military has also drawn up blueprints for a full withdrawal, and Tuesday’s developments appeared to push that idea closer to the forefront of Pentagon planning.

Obama’s call with Karzai coincided with key military meetings on Afghanistan.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will meet with his NATO counterparts in Brussels later this week. And Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey arrived in Afghanistan on Tuesday to visit U.S. military leaders in the country and assess the security situation on the ground.

Dempsey, speaking to reporters traveling with him, said that while the U.S. remains committed to helping Afghanistan after this year, “I can’t ask the young men and women to serve in a country without the protections afforded by a bilateral security agreement.”

SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine – Dozens of pro-Russian protesters rallied Tuesday in this Crimean Peninsula city, bitterly denouncing politicians in Kiev who are trying to form a new government, with some calling for secession from Ukraine. A Russian lawmaker stoked their passions by promising that Moscow will protect them.

“Russia, save us!” they chanted.

The outburst of pro-Russian sentiment in the strategic peninsula on the Black Sea, home to a Russian naval base, came amid fears of economic collapse for Ukraine as the fractious foes of President Viktor Yanukovych failed to reach agreement on forming a new national government and said the task of assigning posts could not be completed before Thursday.

While Ukraine’s politicians struggled to reorganize themselves in Kiev, a Russian flag had replaced the Ukrainian flag in front of the city council building in Sevastopol, 500 miles to the south of the capital. An armored personnel carrier and two trucks full of Russian troops made a rare appearance on the streets, vividly demonstrating Russian power in this port city where the Kremlin’s Black Sea Fleet is based.

Some called on Moscow to protect them from the movement that drove Yanukovych from the capital three days ago.

“Bandits have come to power,” said Vyacheslav Tokarev, a 39-year-old construction worker. “I’m ready to take arms to fight the fascists who have seized power in Kiev.”

Yanukovych’s whereabouts are unknown but he was reportedly last seen in the Crimea, the staunchly pro-Russian region the size of Massachusetts.

Law enforcement agencies have issued an arrest warrant for him over the killing of 82 people, mainly protesters, last week in the bloodiest violence in Ukraine’s post-Soviet history.

His former chief of staff, Andriy Klyuyev, was wounded by gunfire Monday and hospitalized, spokesman Artem Petrenko told The Associated Press. It wasn’t clear where in Ukraine the shooting took place or what were the circumstances of the shooting.

The pro-Moscow protesters gathered for a third day in front of administrative buildings in Sevastopol and in other Crimean cities. Protests on Sunday numbered in the thousands.

“Only Russia will be able to protect the Crimea,” said Anatoly Mareta, wearing the colors of the Russian flag on his arm.

“I hope for the Ossetian way,” he added – a reference to the brief but fierce 2008 war in which Russian tanks and troops helped Georgia’s separatist provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia to break free. Russia has recognized both as independence states, but few other nations have.

Russia, which has thousands of Black Sea Fleet seamen at its base, so far has refrained from any sharp moves in Ukraine’s political turmoil, but could be drawn into the fray if there are confrontations between the population in Crimea and the supporters of the new authorities.

County Board District 5 (Republican): Jung, Rein Voters in McHenry County Board District 5 in this primary have three candidates to choose from for two spots on the Republican ticket.

Incumbent John Jung, a small business owner from Woodstock, is being challenged

by Woodstock chiropractor Michael Rein and former sheriff deputy Zane Seipler, also from Woodstock.

District 5 covers all of Dorr Township and central Grafton Township, including most of Woodstock and parts of Bull Valley, Lakewood, Lake in the Hills and Huntley.

Jung’s experience as a business owner can serve the board well as it looks to reduce cost and create fiscal responsibility. Jung, a County Board veteran, specified the use of countyowned cars by employees as one opportunity to reduce expenses.

Rein, making his second attempt at election to the County Board, cites high taxes and fighting for residents as his motivation to serve taxpayers. He, too, believes the county needs to find ways to cut expenses.

Seipler, who is part of an ongoing lawsuit against outgoing Sheriff Keith Nygren, stresses transparency and accountability in county government as his top priority.

We endorse Jung and Rein.

County Board District 6 (Republican): Aavang, Schuster Voters in McHenry County Board District 6 in this primary have three candidates to choose from for two spots on the Republican ticket.

Incumbents Ersel Schuster and Michelle Aavang are being challenged by real estate broker and farmer Larry Smith.

District 6 includes much of the western part of McHenry County, including Chemung, Alden, Hebron, Dunham, Hartland, Greenwood, Marengo, Seneca, Riley and Coral townships, and the western half of Grafton township.

Schuster, who is retired from being a counselor, has experience on the board and institutional knowledge of the county that has proven instrumental as the county evolves. Schuster hopes to be in office to see the Unified Development Ordinance go into effect. She believes the county should continue to work to reduce spending and unnecessary governmental costs. She opposes the referendum to make the County Board chairman popularly elected.

Aavang, a farmer and president of the Farm Bureau, believes the county needs to pay more attention to the agricultural community, which she believes in many ways is ignored by the board currently. She believes the county should keep the tax levy frozen. She is pleased that voters will have a chance to decide whether the County Board chairmanship should be popularly elected.

We endorse Schuster and Aavang for District 6.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Not a ‘bonus’ To the Editor: The headline of The Associated Press story published on Feb. 5, “Bonuses for Illinois public sector retirees cost millions,” describes a retirement benefit paid by Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund as a “bonus.”

The story also implied this “bonus” could have been used toward another purpose. Untrue on both counts.

Employees of local units of government provide various services and receive a salary, retirement program and, frequently, health insurance – similar to the compensation package for private-sector employees.

IMRF’s retirement program furnishes disability, retirement and death benefits. Part of this package includes post-retirement benefit increases to protect against the ruinous effects of inflation on retiree income.

Enacted in 1992, the 13th Payment was enacted when Social Security recipients received a 3.7 percent increase (Bonus?). It also came on the heels of a 10-year period where Social Security recipients received an average annual compounded 4 percent increase (Bonus?).

The AP story implied the monies used were diverted from more important services the unit of government could provide, but dollars levied to fund retirement benefits

can be used only for retirement benefits. A unit of government may not shift the money from one pocket to another, then pay that money for other services.

So, when is a bonus not a bonus?

When it is used to fight inflation as part of a comprehensive compensation package. This money also supports each retiree’s community.

In 2012, IMRF pension payments generated $1.7 billion in economic activity in Illinois and helped support 12,344 jobs.

Standing up for us To the Editor: Reading the Northwest Herald article about the unfair property system made me extremely angry.

We actually have someone in Springfield who has been trying to fight for us – Rep. Jack Franks, who has been pushing a common sense law saying that property taxes can’t go up when home values go down. He now has a new bill to put a referendum on property taxes on the ballot. Until that article, I had no idea that the reason Franks’ previous attempts were blocked was because local governments paid lobbyists to stop them.

Using our tax dollars to pay for lobbyists is disgusting. Our County Board has used our hard-earned money to advocate for positions that are expressly against the taxpayers’ interest. While I try to

Separation of government from freedom of the press After much criticism from conservative quarters, the Federal Communications Commission has decided, at least for now, to withdraw plans for its proposed study of how media organizations gather and report news.

The expressed goal of the survey was to determine if the “critical information needs” of the public are being met. In making the announcement Friday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler indicated the survey would be “revised” and that the government agency had “no intention” of regulating political speech of journalists or other broadcasters.

You couldn’t prove that from reading the initial study.

The obvious question is: Who gets to define my or your “information needs”? The answer begins with two universities commissioned by the FCC to conduct the study: the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Communication and Democracy and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern

California. Both are associated with a liberal political philosophy.

The reasoning behind this proposed newsroom intrusion is that certain categories of the public (“underserved” consumers in multiple “media ecologies” in the bureaucratese of the study) might not be getting enough “balance” in its news diet.

FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, daughter of Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., said the FCC “must emphatically insist that we leave no American behind when it comes to meeting the needs of those in varied and vibrant communities of our nation – be they native born, immigrant, disabled, non-English speaking, low-income, or other.” But not, apparently, political conservatives, regular churchgoers or patriotic Americans who believe their beliefs are “underserved” by most journalists. Seemingly, no one at the FCC cares overmuch if this particular “constituency” is underserved.

That there has been little more than a low decibel outcry from

Editorial Board: John Rung, Don Bricker, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Stacia Hahn, John Sahly

VIEWS Cal Thomas mainstream media about the FCC study is instructive. It is difficult to imagine Ms. Clyburn and her minions storming into network newsrooms, demanding to know how many conservatives are reporting the news. I once asked Lesley Stahl of CBS News if she could name a single conservative colleague. She could not. Maybe those concerned with our supposed news malnutrition can start at CBS. This “study” – and possibly its revised edition – is a form of intimidation designed to target not the broadcast networks (which is why they seem unconcerned), or even mainstream newspapers.

“Fox News executives feared they were the ultimate target of this exercise, and who can blame them for this suspicion?” wrote

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

RealClearPolitics.com. “From the beginning of the Obama presidency, White House communications officials and Obama political advisers have leveled attacks on Fox, even going so far as to proclaim that it is not ‘a legitimate’ news organization.”

Is it so far-fetched to think that the FCC would not try to monitor conservative news outlets?

There is a reason America’s Founders selected only one profession – the press – for special protection in the Bill of Rights. As expressed by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Jay in 1786: “Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press, nor that be limited without danger of losing it.”

Politicians throughout American history, including Jefferson, have been targets of press criticism, sometimes unfairly, even inaccurately, but still the press has remained free, or was allowed to regain its freedom after wartime censorship.

The organization Reporters

Without Borders recently ranked the U.S. 46th in the world when it comes to press freedom, just one spot ahead of Haiti.

Why the low ranking? The Atlantic.com, citing the report, wrote, “... the heritage of the 1776 constitution was shaken to its foundation during George W. Bush’s two terms as president by the way journalists were harassed and even imprisoned for refusing to reveal their sources or surrender their files to federal judicial officials. There has been little improvement in practice under Barack Obama. ... No fewer than eight individuals have been charged under the Espionage Act since Obama became president, compared with three during Bush’s two terms.”

If the FCC moves forward with even a revised agenda that is intrusive and unconstitutional, that ranking is likely to decline even further.

Defense argues sex Candidates disagree on ICE agreement • DEBATE acts were consensual Continued from page A1

• RAPE TRIAL Continued from page A1 Oliver, of Woodstock, was heard on the video telling the woman, who was 22 when the Nov. 6, 2012, incident occurred, not to look scared.

She responded: “I’m not scared.”

In his opening statement, Oliver’s defense attorney, Jeff Altman, asked that jurors pay close attention to the video, saying it shows that the woman was a willing participant in the sex acts.

“No one forced [the alleged victim] to do this,” Altman said. “This was a consensual meeting. Everything took place as a result of an agreement they made.”

The alleged victim testified that she and Oliver agreed to meet up for sex in exchange for $200. They met through a “no strings attached” posting on Craigslist.

Many of the threats happened off camera, Eisenstein said, in a locked basement of Oliver’s Woodstock home.

The woman testified that once in the basement, Oliver grabbed her hair and pushed her to a kneeling position. She said she was afraid for her life.

“I begged with him to let me go,” the woman said. “I was begging him to please not hurt me, to let me go.”

Eight women have accused Oliver of raping them, and each case is expected to be tried separately. The women are said to have met him through Craigslist or other websites and agreed to sex in exchange for money.

For the trial this week before McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather, Oliver is charged with criminal sexual assault and unlawful restraint.

Proceedings will resume at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Both men cite business background as a plus • SENATE Continued from page A1 runaway spending has to stop,” Oberweis said.

He also takes issue with the passage of the Affordable Care Act and wants to impose term limits.

Oberweis said his current role as state senator and his experience building companies, such as Oberweis Dairy, will make him the ideal choice to run against Durbin. Truax would be a great candidate for an Illinois State Senate or House seat instead of the U.S. Senate, Oberweis said Tuesday.

Truax said Oberweis told him the same thing when they met in October. Truax said with all due respect, he wasn’t going to take advice from the state senator.

“I think it’s incredibly condescending,” Truax said of Oberweis’ comment. “I think

it’s basically advocating for me to become a professional [career] politician.”

Truax noted that Oberweis previously ran for the U.S. Senate and lost. He said Durbin’s defeat is going to require someone like himself, a new face to the political scene with new ideas.

Truax is president, managing partner and co-founder of Veritas Risk Services in Oak Brook. Since he announced his candidacy in the summer, he has gained endorsements from Republicans including Newt Gingrich and U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Peoria.

Truax wants to see lower tax rates for businesses and consumers alike. He also wants to have every federal agency justify its federal regulations every five years. On health care, Truax wants people to have the option to buy health insurance across state lines in the hopes of fostering competitive prices.

relationships. My history says so, my reputation says so, my endorsements say so.”

Prim called out Zinke for growing the sheriff’s budget despite what he says was a decrease in calls for service and population at the jail, all while increasing the number of sheriff’s office employees.

“I look at my tax bill just like everyone else in this room and I see it going up,” Prim said.

Zinke said calls for service relate to a decrease in crime as a result of the efforts of the sheriff’s office staff. Any budget increases come from personnel costs, which are not controlled by the sheriff.

In discussing sheriff’s office employees, Prim blasted the office for having low morale.

“You can’t build upon a faulty foundation, and right now their foundation is crumbling,” Prim said.

Zinke said his opponent was talking about a few disgruntled employees, but that sheriff’s office employees overall are happy.

When it came to the county’s contract with Immigration and Customs En-

forcement to house federal detainees, the candidates again offered the crowd more tense dialog.

Zinke said he would favor an extension of the contract with the federal government when it expires in 2015.

“Absolutely if it’s cost-effective,” he said. “That’s not up to me, that’s not up to the sheriff, that’s up to the County Board. … We are actively seeking an increase in the [per diem rate].”

Prim said the contract has been losing money, and that if elected he would take a more active role in the negotiations.

“The extension of the contract can’t solely be put on the County Board,” he said.

“I’m certain they’re going to look for some direction from the sheriff’s office. You’re responsible for your budget, and at least some type of recommendation.”

The primary election is March 18. The winner of the race could face Woodstock-based attorney Jim Harrison, who has indicated he will run as an independent.

The debate was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Northwest Herald. It was moderated by the League.

MAN ARRESTED FOR VIOLATION A 30-year-old Harvard man was charged with a violation of the Illinois Sex Offender Act and an unlawful failure to register charge.

According to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Matthew Vodnansky was charged as the result of an investigation by the sheriff’s office’s Criminal Investigations Division.

The Criminal Investigations Division obtained information that Vodnansky was a member of a social media website and was utilizing the Internet to access a social media site without disclosing it when registering as required by law, according to the release.

It was determined Vodnansky was residing at an apartment on the 1400 block of Northfield Court, when he had reported to the sheriff’s office he was homeless during the registration process.

The unlawful failure to register charge is a Class 3 felony, while the violation of the sex offender act is a Class 4 felony.

Vodnansky’s bond was set at $35,000. His next court date is Thursday.

Union ‘very close’ to strike District 156 teachers send letter home to parents

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The District 156 teachers union is “very close” to striking, its spokesman said Tuesday afternoon.

The comment came as the union released a letter to district parents through email, its Facebook page and on its website, reiterating its stance that a strike is the last thing the

teachers want.

“We are here right now, and our desire is to continue to be here,” spokesman Brian Weidner said.

The union has moved steadily closer to a strike since a December vote that started the state-mandated clock that requires teachers unions to give at least 10 days notice before actually going on strike.

Then, about 10 days ago, the

teachers union took another step toward a work stoppage, unanimously authorizing its negotiating team to call a strike.

The negotiating team’s decision would be based on the board’s response to the union’s next offer, Weidner said. The response came Friday with a counteroffer that the union said shows the board is not negotiating in good faith.

The counteroffer proposed a three-year contract that moves away from the traditional salary schedule, something that will allow the district to better project its costs, school board President Steve Bellmore said Saturday.

The switch to a three-year contract from a two-year one was needed because negotiations have put the district nine months into any proposed two-

REASONS TO GET RID OF JUNK MAIL Monitoring the mail is a great way to cut down clutter. There is less to dispose of so you’ll feel less overwhelmed and take a step toward saving our environment.

The benefits include saving trees. More than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail. Forty-two percent of timber harvested nationwide becomes pulpwood for paper.

It will reduce global warming.

The energy used to produce and dispose of junk mail exceeds 2.8 million cars.

Moan named D-200 leader

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN

WOODSTOCK – About 23 years since Mike Moan completed his District 200 education, he’ll return as its top administrator.

The school board Tuesday announced Moan – a 1991 graduate of Woodstock High School – will become District 200’s next superintendent.

Moan is the current chief academic officer in Huntley District 158.

“I’m a product of this community and of School District 200, so to be able to come back and be part of that again and give back, it really is a dream come true,” he said after the meeting.

Moan will replace Ellyn Wrzeski as superintendent starting July 1, the board has said. He will make $180,000 a

year during his initial threeyear contract.

Board President Paul Meyer called Moan energetic, personable and a collaborative leader at Tuesday’s meeting. He also emphasized the advantage of a leader who has incoming knowledge of the district. “[District 158 Superintendent] John Burkey is a friend of mine and he speaks very highly of Mike,” Wrzeski said. “I know it’s going to be a very smooth transition.”

District 200’s search firm officially started searching for candidates in September, screening more than 60 people before the school board interviewed six candidates.

Three finalists were introduced to the public in January – a process both Meyer

An annexation agreement that, if approved, would allow for the development of a recreation center and aquatic center on Ackman Road is taking a little longer than expected to be finalized.

Staff from the village of Lake in the Hills and the Crystal Lake Park District are still discussing details.

A vote by the Village Board on the agreement to annex 27 acres at 8917 Ackman Road into the municipality was expected to come on Thursday, but has been delayed.

“The issues are not insurmountable and I am confident we will come to an agreement to resolve them,” Village Administrator Gerald Sagona wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald.

In a letter from the park district to the village, the park district has concerns over a proposed requirement to provide the Village Board with development plans in the future, and the requirement for a letter of credit.

Park district Executive Director Jason Herbster said the issues are relatively minor and he is confident both parties can work through them at the staff level.

The proposed annexation agreement calls for the park district returning to the Village Board and Planning and Zoning Commission in the future to review actual development plans when they are prepared.

County won’t issue same-sex marriage licenses until June

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com Last week, samesex couples could begin obtaining marriage licenses in Cook County, more than three months before gay marriage becomes legal throughout Illinois.

But don’t expect McHenry County to issue same-sex marriage licenses before the June 1 date.

McHenry County Clerk Katherine Schultz said the county plans to “abide by state law” and will not attempt to issue licenses early.

“We’re waiting until June because the ruling only pertained to Cook County,” Schultz said.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled that Cook County residents didn’t have to

wait until June, and that “there is no reason to delay further when no opposition has been presented to this court and committed gay and lesbian couples have already suffered from the denial of their fundamental right to marry,” she wrote in her ruling.

More than 80 samesex couples have gotten marriage licenses in Cook County, including residents from Champaign, DuPage, Lake, Will and Winnebago counties, according to The Associated Press.

Crystal Lake-based same-sex couples attorney Karen Lavin said she wished McHenry County would push harder to issue licenses early, but she said she wasn’t surprised county leaders are sticking with the June 1 date.

“McHenry County is

a little cautious on those things,” she said. “I think it’s all about politics.

McHenry County is known to be Republican and known to be conservative.”

Schultz, who is not seeking re-election, said the judge’s ruling does not give her the power to issue licenses early.

While Lavin has not heard from any clients who plan to travel to Cook County to obtain a license early, many are just happy to know the tide has turned on gay marriage in Illinois, she said.

“People are thrilled about it,” Lavin said. “It’s a huge change in the law. … I’ve been to clients’ civil union ceremonies in the past, and I know those people are planning on making it official.”

Tech fee raised for student laptops

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Incoming freshmen at Marengo High School will have to chip in an extra $5 next school year for a laptop as part of the school’s expanding digital learning program.

School District 154 Board members earlier this week raised the annual technology fee from $75 to $80 for all freshmen entering the 201415 school year.

Administrators proposed the increase after switching to Lenovo as the school’s netbook manufacturer, said Superintendent Dan Bertrand.

Even with the increase, the school’s total student

fees will remain one of the cheapest in McHenry County, Bertrand said.

The high school-only district doesn’t charge course fees for after-school clubs and sports.

“We don’t have any major fees beyond the technology fee,” Bertrand said. “Our fees are much cheaper than others in the county.”

Officials decided to switch to Lenovo for its classroom netbooks at a higher cost since the manufacturer makes a more durable and reliable product, he said. The district had been using Dell laptops.

The move also allows the district to continue doing inhouse repairs that often save students on maintenance

Under the digital program, students can either pay the annual technology fee for four years or pay a lump sum upfront.

After graduation, students can keep their netbooks.

District 154 officials started the program with the 2012-13 freshman class and have been expanding it ever since.

Teachers consequently have been relying less on textbooks at the high school and incorporating more interactive content into lesson plans.

Nearly 600 Marengo High School students will be using netbooks in the classroom this fall, Bertrand said.

FOX LAKE – Wayne Blake was ready to head to Springfield to voice his support for Fox Waterway Agency to senators Monday when he learned Senate Bill 2696, which would dissolve the agency, had been pulled from the Agriculture and Conservation Senate committee agenda.

Blake, chairman of the Fox Lake-based Fox Waterway Agency, said while the bill was pulled from the committee’s Monday agenda, it could be reintroduced at a later time.

A spokeswoman with Senator Terry Link’s office confirmed the bill had been pulled, but declined to elaborate. Link proposed the bill, which is co-sponsored by Senator Julie

er agency employees could be at stake as legislators consider the bill, which would dissolve the Fox Waterway Agency and place the Chain O’ Lakes and Fox River under the care of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Fox Waterway Agency will host a public meeting to discuss the bill at 7 p.m. Thursday at Lakefront Park, 71 Nippersink Blvd., Fox Lake.

The Fox Waterway Agency is responsible for dredging the lakes, collecting user fees and performing rescues, according to agency employees. The agency typically partners with the 27 municipalities under their jurisdiction if they have the people and equipment available, said Rob Rinkenberger, superintendent and employee of 17 years.

CRYSTAL LAKE: PUBLIC FORUM

Feedback wanted for Main Beach renovations

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake residents and users of Main Beach can help shape the future of the park during a public forum Wednesday where park district staff will unveil preliminary 2016 renovation plans.

Ann Viger, director of planning and development for the Crystal Lake Park District, said staff and board members want public feedback to prioritize a long list of renovations at Main Beach including heating and cooling systems in the main building, playground replacement, improvements to pathways and boat launch areas and a new rental shed among other things.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Main Beach, 300

Lakeshore Drive, Crystal Lake.

“There is no part of the park that doesn’t need something,” Viger said. “But this is a multimillion dollar project and we won’t be able to do everything all at once.”

Viger said the district is planning to spend $1.5 million on the first phase of renovations scheduled to start in 2016 and could include a mix of renovations and additions depending on what residents and users highlight as top priorities.

Some potential new additions park district staff have proposed include a splash pad, gazebos or shelters and a grand patio connected to the lake side of the building where people could have concessions.

Guidance on the additions and renovations will give Viger more clarity on which grants to pursue, which could

cover 50 to 75 percent of the costs, she said.

“We started this process about four years ago, working with a landscape architect and sending out surveys,” Viger said. “Now we’re two years out and we know the funding should be there.”

The park at Main Beach was first established in 1926 and the most recent renovation occurred in 1998, but did not include work to the pavilion that still needs heating improvements and an air conditioning system.

While it is one of the oldest parks in the area, it remains one of the most popular in terms of attendance. Main Beach only ranks behind Veterans Park within the district, though the city-operated Three Oaks Recreation Area remains the top draw.

MARENGO: ALLEGED INCIDENT AT HIGH SCHOOL

Man pleads not guilty to battery, sex abuse charges

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmed.com WOODSTOCK – A Marengo man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that he battered and sexually abused a Marengo Community High School employee.

On Jan. 13, Leonard H. Fick Jr., 58, allegedly pushed a metal hook between the legs of a Marengo Community High

School employee and grabbed the man’s genitals on school grounds, according to court records. Fick was arrested by Marengo police on Jan. 30 and placed in McHenry County Jail on $15,000 bond. Fick paid the required 10 percent of his bond and was released, records show.

Fick, who was a school custodian at the time of the incident, allegedly used a 3-foot-

long rod with a hook attached to the end to wrap around the victim’s legs, according to the Marengo Police Department.

He then pulled the hook against the victim’s leg.

The hook is a tool used to move carpeting, police said.

He is charged with aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony, and criminal sexual abuse, a Class 4 felony. If convicted, Fick faces up to five years in prison.

Both sides hope to avoid strike fering 3.3 percent as a benchmark for salary increases for teachers as they move along in seniority – a number Byers said is higher than what most other area districts offer – plus an increase to the base salary each year, the district wants the union to agree to higher insurance contributions for family plans to even out the costs.

“Unfortunately, we still have other things to do,” Byers said. “We have capital improvements that need to happen. We can’t give them the entire pot of money that we receive each year. We’re giving raises that we think are commiserate with today’s economy. We think it’s fair.”

But after giving concessions during the last round of negotiations, the union doesn’t want to take another step in that direction now that the district’s finances are healthier, union officials have said.

“McHenry Community High School District has had trouble hiring their first choice of teacher candidates and retaining quality educators because other districts hire them instead,” the union said in its letter to parents Tuesday. “The compensation package put forward by the Board of Education will continue to keep District 156 noncompetitive in the hiring and retaining of quality teachers.”

• D-156 Continued from page B1 we’ve offered a three-year contract is ridiculous,” he said.

The union sent the district another offer on Sunday, which Weidner said will likely be made public on the union’s website Wednesday evening, but Bellmore reiterated that the Friday counteroffer was the district’s last.

The district is open to a two-year contract, but the terms would basically be the first two years of the proposed three-year contract, Bellmore said.

“That’s the best offer we can give,” he said. “There isn’t anymore to give.”

The negotiating teams for the district and the teachers union have not met since the district posted its final offer to its website Friday, and no meetings are planned, he said.

“We’re getting very close [to striking],” Weidner said.

“I will say that. It will not be this week, but we are getting very close.”

The union has a full-member meeting Thursday evening, after which a more definite timeline will likely be available, he said.

Both sides said they hope to avoid a strike, but Byers added the main sticking point has not changed.

McHENRY: BUILDING REPAIRS

River East Library to close for month due to water damage

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The River East Public Library will be closed during March as water-damaged carpet is ripped out, some furniture is replaced and walls are repainted.

The library suffered extensive water damage in its entrance hallway and bathrooms in January, Director Cherie Wright said.

The piles of snow had climbed so high on the library’s flat roof that when the snow began to melt during the first thaw in January, it couldn’t reach the runoff and got into

the pipes that led to the library’s bathrooms, she said.

The water was about 3 inches deep, Wright said.

The library was able to stay open during the first stage of the cleanup, when everything was dried out, the walls were washed down and other mold remediation methods were completed, she said.

The next stage, though, involves removing everything from the circulation area and storing it while the carpet is replaced, a release from the library said.

The bathroom ceiling tiles, lights, circulation desk and cabinets also will be replaced, and

volunteers also will be repainting the main room with a donated bluish gray paint, Wright said.

Insurance is covering most of the cost, but the library will cover the difference on the upgraded carpet, she said. It also will have to cover the cost of painting the walls if the donated paint, tools and labor don’t work out.

“The problem isn’t the money,” Wright said. “It’s the time that we have to be closed.”

During the monthlong closure, River East patrons – which includes residents of the McHenry County half of Lakemoor, Eastwood Manor,

McHENRY: LANDMARK COMMISSION

McHenry collecting photographs, stories about older neighborhoods

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A project to document the history of McHenry’s older neighborhoods and subdivisions will start with Lakeland Park, Orchard Beach, Woodlawn Park, Edgebrook Heights and Cooney Heights.

The McHenry Landmark Commission has begun collecting old photographs, personal memoirs, memorabilia, anecdotes and other information on

McHenry’s neighborhoods and the families that lived there.

The project was proposed

by Nancy Fike, a former commission member who served as the McHenry County Historical Society and Museum’s administrator from 1986 to 2012.

Fike is a longtime resident of the Country Club subdivision, a neighborhood that dates back to the 1920s.

County atlases from 1876 and 1908 show some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, which then made up the two

side-by-side villages of McHenry and West McHenry, Landmark Commission Chairman Pat Wirtz said.

At the time, the subdivision on the northeast side of the Fox River, now called Woodlawn Park, was made up of subdivided lots called Rosedale, River Park and Maplewood Park, he said. Other river subdivisions included Orchard Beach, Mineral Springs, Emerald Park and Schroeder’s Estates.

Cooney Heights and Lakeland Park were developed

Moan, 41, started as a social studies teacher and coach in District 158 17 years ago. He’s served as a dean and principal within the district during his progression toward district administration.

Moan and his wife, Paula, and two kids, Zach, 17, and Maddie, 10, live in DeKalb.

“You’re dealing with a financially solvent district, which is very important to me.”

He added that the dual-language program and how administrators have handled special education shows the district’s willingness to innovate.

“I’m just really excited to be back home and be part of this school system in a community that I truly love,” he said.

Skills: Math. Find the sum of whole numbers.

or hundreds of years, parrots large and small have been kept as pets. Perhaps they were first captured for food or for their colorful feathers, but when it was discovered they could “talk,” they became pets rather than dinner.

There are more than 350 kinds of parrots. Some are only 3 inches long, while others

grow to be more than 3 feet long.

All parrots have short legs with two toes that point forward and two toes that point backward. This arrangement of toes makes it possible for parrots to grasp the fruits and nuts they like to eat. It also helps them to climb and even hang upside down.

Skills: Life Science: Recognize that different animals have different features that help them thrive in different places.

Park district doesn’t want to provide letter of credit • ANNEX Continued from page B1 “The sole purpose of the return to these two boards would be for a determination as to whether there was compliance with ordinances, which is a ministerial function, which should be done by staff not by policymakers of the village,” park district attorney Scott Puma wrote. “[It] is an unnecessary step.

Further, there is no requirement for public hearing or the like under the village code, and it is an onerous process.”

In a written response, village attorney Michael Smoron said there would be no additional public hearing, but there is an expectation from the Village Board and zoning commission that plans would be reviewed by both entities because the property could become busier.

“The board is placing emphasis on this extra step to help alleviate concerns by our residents regarding the future use of the property,” Smoron wrote.

The park district also does not want to have to provide a letter of credit to the village for off-site public improvements, as it would unnecessarily increase costs, Puma

wrote.

Puma wrote that the park district has completed projects in Lakewood and Crystal Lake and letters of credit were not required.

“The park district is not going anywhere and the public improvements will be included in plans and bonded for under the Public Construction Bond Act already,” Puma wrote.

The village said that it is not under the impression that a public bond would cover damage to off-site property, such as a water main or a resident’s yard.

“The village would prefer a letter of credit rather than having to make a claim against the bond and, possibly, becoming embroiled in any litigation with contractors or subcontractors,” Smoron wrote.

The park district also is asking that it have the ability to disconnect the property from the village in case it needs to obtain water from another municipality in the future.

“We do not expect this provision to ever come into play, but it would be necessary if Lake in the Hills lacks sufficient water,” Puma said.

Smoron said the disconnection language is unacceptable.

BABY ON THE WAY FOR JIMMY KIMMEL, NEW WIFE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, February 26, 2014 • Section B • Page 8

NEW YORK – Jimmy Fallon may be the late night host with a new show, but Jimmy Kimmel has reason to celebrate, too.

Kimmel and his wife Molly McNearney are expecting their first child together, his rep Lewis Kay confirmed Monday.

Forty-six-year-old Kimmel already has two children, a 20-year-old son and 22-year-old daughter, from a previous marriage.

It will be 35-year-old McNearney’s first baby.

The couple got married last July.

McNearney also is the co-head writer of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

As I Lay Dying singer admits seeking estranged wife’s murder

social justice advocate.

Hobson is president of the Chicago-based Ariel Investments. She married the Star Wars filmmaker in 2013.

Lucas says in a statement that art can “transform lives and communities” and says he hopes Parks’ legacy will inspire future generations.

The Hyde Park school has about 1,800 students in nursery school through 12th grade.

VISTA, Calif. – The lead singer of Grammy-nominated metal band As I Lay Dying has pleaded guilty to trying to hire someone to kill his estranged wife.

Timothy Lambesis pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of murder Tuesday in Vista Superior Court, near San Diego. He remains free on bond until his sentencing, which is set for May 2.

Prosecutors say the 32-year-old singer was recorded telling an undercover agent that he wanted his wife killed.

He allegedly told a man at his gym that she was making it difficult for him to see their children and impossible to complete their divorce.

As I Lay Dying formed in San Diego in 2000 and has released six albums, including 2007’s “An Ocean Between Us,” which reached No. 8 on Billboard’s charts.

Meyers’ ratings top Fallon’s ‘Late Night’ debut NEW YORK – Nielsen says Seth Meyers is off to a good start hosting NBC’s “Late Night.”

The premiere of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” averaged 3.4 million viewers in “fast official” ratings from Nielsen.

NBC says that’s the biggest audience for a Monday “Late Night” episode in nine years.

The network says it also beat the 2009 debut of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” by more than a half-million viewers.

Jimmy Fallon began last week as host of “The Tonight Show.” On Monday, he drew 6.3 million viewers. That’s the largest Monday audience for “Tonight” in four years, when Jay Leno returned as host to replace Conan O’Brien.

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” topped Monday’s combined audience for CBS’ “Late Show with David Letterman” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in the same time period.

Man gets eight months for One Direction bomb threat HARRISBURG, Pa. – A New Jersey man will spend eight months in federal prison for calling in a phony bomb threat to a Pennsylvania arena before a concert last summer by boy band One Direction.

Federal prosecutors said 47-year-old William H. Klein was sentenced after pleading guilty Tuesday to a charge of interstate communication with threat to injure.

U.S. Attorney Peter Smith said Hershey Entertainment and Resorts, which runs Hersheypark Stadium, received a call July 5 during which a male caller says, “If One Direction plays tomorrow, the stadium will blow up.”

Smith said the call was tracked to a pay phone at a 7-Eleven in Northfield, N.J., and Klein was identified from surveillance footage.

The stadium was placed on lockdown before the concert, followed by a bomb sweep and a check of concertgoers’ bags.

George Lucas, wife donate $25M to Chicago school CHICAGO – Filmmaker George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson, are donating $25 million to a prestigious private school on Chicago’s South Side.

The University of Chicago says Tuesday the grant from The George Lucas Family Foundation will pay for a new arts hall at the university’s Laboratory Schools.

The 86,000-square-foot building will open in 2015 and will be named after Gordon Parks, a photographer, musician and

Defense lifts Red Raiders; PR falls

Scoreboard

mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Huntley girls basketball team has become known for its ability to put up points, but it was the Red Raiders’ defense that shined during Tuesday’s sectional semifinal against South Elgin.

A careless turnover leading to an easy basket right before halftime wasn’t the way the Red Raiders wanted to close what had been a solid first half. Despite the momentary lapse, Huntley’s defense came alive in the second half.

The Red Raiders held the Storm scoreless for a seven-minute stretch in third quarter and allowed only

Tuesday’s semifinals Huntley 49, South Elgin 32 Boylan 64, Prairie Ridge 57 Thursday’s championship Huntley vs. Boylan, 7 p.m. three second-half field goals.

Huntley’s defensive effort led to a 49-32 win and put them in Thursday’s Class 4A Crystal Lake South sectional final.

The Red Raiders (27-3), which set a school record for wins in a season, play Rockford Boylan at 7 p.m. Thursday for the sectional title.

“We talked about coming out in the second half and hunkering down and playing better team defense,” Hunt-

ley coach Steve Raethz said.

“I think that was about one of our best halves of defense [in the second half] this whole season.”

Huntley senior forward Sam Andrews provided much-needed scoring with sophomore Ali Andrews nursing foul trouble most of the second half. Sam Andrews scored a game-high 21 points with three 3-pointers.

“I definitely look to take charge and lead the team, just get energy going and getting us to play like we know we can play,” Sam Andrews said. “I felt like once we stretched the defense we could start looking inside and get open shots.”

ANTIOCH – Harvard came to wrestle Tuesday, and it was evident the Hornets were not yet willing to let coach Tim Haak ride off into retirement.

The Hornets defeated Lakes, 63-12, at the Antioch Dual Team Sectional and advanced to the state quarterfinals. Harvard will wrestle at dual state Saturday in Bloomington Christian against Oak For- Kramer est, which beat Riverside-Brookfield, 66-3.

“I thought our guys came to wrestle hard,” Haak said. “I was happy for our kids.”

Sergio Jimenez got Harvard started with a pin at 132 pounds, and Logan Streit followed with a pin at 138 to put the Hornets up, 12-0. Streit pinned Xavian Girona, who defeated Streit in the first round of the Lakes Sectional.

Christian Kramer defeated Sam Callahan, 14-12, in a topsy-turvy match that never saw Kramer give up the lead.

“You never know what you’re really going to get,” Kramer said. “You’ve got to keep scoring points.”

Kramer said the dual format creates a lot more team atmosphere, especially a season-ending elimination meet like this.

“I like duals like this because it’s a fun environment,” Kramer said. “We definitely wanted to make the best of Coach Haak’s last year and stay focused.”

Matthew Wheeler won by pin at 160 against Dakota Larson. Wheeler beat Larson, 6-3, in the Lakes Sectional consolation quarterfinals to qualify for individual state.

Wheeler said the emphasis Tuesday was the team and bonus points.

UNIONIZING COLLEGE ATHLETES

Former NU football players contradict Colter

By SANDRA GUY sguy@suntimes.com

AP file photo

Former Northwestern offensive lineman Patrick Ward (left) testified Tuesday at a National Labor Relations Board hearing.

CHICAGO – Two former Northwestern University football players who started as walk-ons and who had limited playing time testified Tuesday at a National Labor Relations Board hearing that they pursued demanding careers in engineering and pre-med.

They testified for the university in an effort to counter quarterback Kain Colter’s earlier testimony that he was

unable to pursue his dream of becoming an orthopedic doctor because of the demanding football schedule.

In all, three former Northwestern football players testified that their coaches, including head coach Pat Fitzgerald, encouraged and helped them to earn their academic degrees, and that they had to learn to manage their time in order to play football and be successful in the classroom.

The hearing pits Colter and his player allies in the College

Athletes Players Association who want to be ruled “employees” of the university – and thus eligible to form a union –against the university, which contends the football players are students first-and-foremost.

Hearing officer Joyce Hofstra declined to let lawyers for the football players ask one of the former players if he considered his playing and practicing time a full-time job – a key consideration in figuring whether the students are being

paid for their services by being awarded athletic scholarships.

But the football players’ lawyers did get the former players to agree that they would have suffered consequences if they had violated team rules – part of their argument that coaches can treat players unfairly and players have no representation in those cases.

The former football players saw less playing time than did Colter, either because of injuries or their position on the team.

The witnesses were Doug Bartels, an offensive lineman who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Northwestern and is now studying to become a doctor at Rush University’s medical college; John Henry Pace, an engineer who helps design future Mustangs at Ford Motor Co., who was a long snapper on the football field, and Patrick “Pat” Ward, a structural engineer at Boeing Co. in St. Louis who was

BOYS BASKETBALL: JACOBS 54, DUNDEE-CROWN 34

Mack, Eagles make it look easy “Kenton’s a real smart kid, he’s a thinker,” Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts said. “He thinks his way through the game, but sometimes he just needs to go play, use his ability and go play.

That’s the Kenton we know, and the Kenton that Kenton knows as well. It’s just a matter of getting it out of him a little bit.”

Mack led an early outburst as Jacobs jumped all over D-C and rolled to a 54-34 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division boys basketball victory as the District 300 rivals played in front of a near-packed D-C gymnasium.

“We were focused from the time we left school and everyone was in the right mental mindset to come out and play hard,” said Mack, whose first two baskets sparked an 8-0 start. “We executed well and we were taking good shots. Us taking good shots led to us making shots.”

Guard scores 16, leads early burst against Chargers

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – Jacobs guard Kenton Mack, who has a reputation as a dogged defender, demonstrated an impressive offensive repertoire as well Tuesday night at DundeeCrown.

The 6-foot-1 Golden Eagles junior wriggled inside for tip-ins, knifed through the lane for layups, pulled up for mid-range jumpers and stepped back to swish 3-pointers.

Mack said he had been in an offensive slump, but he was 7 of 8 from the field for 16 points, following his only miss with his own tip-in. Jacobs guard Chrishawn Orange led all players with 17 points as Jacobs (14-13 overall, 8-4 FVC Valley) finished in sole possession of second place in the division.

Freshman forward Cameron Krutwig added seven points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, seven in the first half. Jacobs led D-C (7-17, 3-9) in rebounding, 27-18.

“The atmosphere was real good, they brought a lot of fans and we brought a lot of fans,” Krutwig said.

“We just got hot really quick, knocking down shots left and right. We knew it was going to be a good atmosphere for this game.”

Jacobs jumped to a 16-2 lead and when the Chargers scored six consecutive points, the Eagles came back with

seven unanswered points of their own.

“They deserved to win, they just had an answer for everything,” Chargers coach Lance Huber said. “They really took it to us. They played really, really well tonight. It might be the best game I’ve seen them play all year.

They stuck it to us early and we never bounced back.”

The closest D-C got in the second half was 13 points. Jacobs has allowed 104 points in its last three games.

“Before we came, we watched the beginning of the first time we played them, it was the same start,” Roberts said. “We know we’re going to defend, so we said, ‘Let’s score, let’s make some shots, go at them, be the aggressors. The kids did a good job right off the bat.”

Cordero Parson led D-C with 10 points, while Kiwaun Seals and Malik Dunner added nine apiece.

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOHNSBURG 59, CL CENTRAL 58

Skyhawks stay calm, finish job

By MAUREEN LYNCH sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – All season, Johnsburg boys basketball coach Mike Toussaint has hoped his relatively young team would learn at least one lesson from every game.

On Tuesday, the Skyhawks showed they have.

Turning to a patience it didn’t have during an overtime loss to Hampshire four days earlier, Johnsburg took its time in the final few seconds against Crystal Lake Central and rallied for a 5958 victory in Fox Valley Conference Fox Division play.

The win was just that.

It was the pride that really counted.

“I really was proud of them,” Toussaint said.

“Hampshire made a run at us and we freaked out, started doing things we don’t do. … Tonight, we executed and we didn’t panic. It might show that we’re growing up.”

The Skyhawks (7-19 overall, 4-8 FVC Fox) trailed, 5655, with less than a minute left and spread the ball to kill 30 seconds and get guard Collin Ridout open outside.

Ridout knocked down a 3-pointer with 20 seconds remaining to put Johnsburg ahead, 58-56. A Central turnover and a foul put Johnsburg senior guard Steve Dixon at the line to shoot two, and he split the pair to make it 59-56 with 14 seconds remaining.

Central guard Cavanagh Murphy tried a 3 to tie the game but missed. Guard Jason Price scored a putback at the buzzer for the final one-point margin.

“Tonight, we executed and we didn’t panic. It might show that we’re growing up.”

Mike Toussaint Johnsburg boys basketball coach “We’re learning every game,” Ridout said. “We have a lot of young guys playing big minutes, so every game is a learning experience for them.”

Central (3-22, 2-8) is in a similar position. Unfortunately for the Tigers, what they’ve learned and what they still need to learn didn’t offset.

The Tigers led, 45-35, with 2:35 left in the third quarter thanks to a 16-4 run that included 3s from Murphy and guards Kenny Vesely and Kevin Peisker. Johnsburg cut it to four, 45-41, on a layup from guard Luke Lobermeier, but Price hit a buzzer-beating three from midcourt to put the Tigers up, 48-41, at the end of the third.

Central led, 52-41, on a Price jumper with 4:10 left in the fourth, but Johnsburg rattled off an 8-2 run to pull ahead by one, 55-54, with 2:27 left to play.

“We played a great third quarter but in the fourth quarter we looked like a team that doesn’t know how to play with a lead, because we don’t know how,” Central coach Rich Czeslawski said.

“You can fix those things by talking to one another and hustling. We had no intensity or desire to talk, and that’s disappointing at this point in the season.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Woodstock boys pull off upset at Grayslake Central NORTHWEST HERALD The Woodstock boys basketball team handed Fox Valley Conference Fox Division winner Grayslake Central its first division loss Tuesday, 61-55, in Grayslake.

Woodstock gained an early lead, outscoring Grayslake Central 17-5 in the first quarter. The Blue Streaks (12-14 overall, 7-5 FVC Fox) led, 43-32, heading into the fourth quarter and held on to claim third place in the Fox Division.

The win was the third straight for Woodstock.

Mason Sutter converted eight baskets to lead the Streaks with 23 points. Mitch Kohley was second on the team with 13 points and Marcus Ammirati added seven.

Prairie Ridge 53, McHenry 42: At Crystal Lake, the Wolves (16-10, 7-5 FVC Valley) won their final FVC Valley Division game of the season.

Prairie Ridge was led by Jack Berg with 11 points and Michael Bradshaw with 10.

Steven Ticknor added eight points and 11 rebounds.

Grayslake North 52, Woodstock North 49: At Grayslake, the Knights (8-15, 7-5) defeated the Thunder (6-20, 2-10) to tie Woodstock for third place in the FVC Fox. Woodstock North tied Crystal Lake Central for sixth.

BOYS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 55, CL SOUTH 28

Harvard shows off its Wicks, defense lead Red Raiders “We’ve worked so hard depth in lopsided win lately, and that really

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com

• WRESTLING Continued from page C1 “I wanted the team points,” Wheeler said. “Individual stuff is over.”

Wheeler, a senior, said he was tense heading into his match against Larson.

“I’m still Tim Haak a little nervous,” Wheeler said after the match. “It’s a big year for the seniors and Coach Haak. We want to make it the best for him.”

Marcos Tapia at 182 and Zach Martin (195) also won by pin for the Hornets.

As important as getting bonus points in duals is not giving them up. Isaiah Rudd at 152 and Christian Popoca (220) lost by decision.

Popoca was down, 4-1, after the first period to Austin Summers, who placed fifth at the Lakes Sectional. Popoca was able to hang on and not give up bonus points in a 10-3 loss.

Popoca clearly frustrated Summers, and a forfeit at 285 to Adam Freimund put the match away for Harvard.

Lakes forfeited the final four matches from 106 to 126.

Haak said the win shows the level of wrestler he has at every weight class. It was that deep roster that propelled them to victory in the Hampshire Regional, topping Crystal Lake Central, which had just won the Fox Valley Conference Tournament and had seven wrestlers medal at individual state.

“You win the regional because of depth,” Haak said.

“That’s what showed then and that’s what showed today.”

HUNTLEY – For Huntley senior Riley Wicks, the past few games have been a struggle. The shots haven’t been falling. Who better to help you through a slump than your biggest critic, who in Wicks’ case happens to be his father.

Whatever advice Dad gave the Red Raiders’ shooting guard definitely worked Tuesday as Wicks led Huntley to a 55-28 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory over Crystal Lake South.

Huntley (18-7, 10-2 FVC Valley) got off to a quick start against the Gators and never looked back. The Red Raiders started off the game on an 8-0 run and didn’t allow South (15-11, 4-8) to score until the 2:30 mark of the first quarter.

The key for Huntley was its perimeter shooting. The Red Raiders were 9 of 17

showed tonight.”

Riley Wicks Huntley senior basketball player from the 3-point line, including six 3-pointers in the first half, which helped Huntley blow the game open.

Tuesday was senior night for Huntley, which honored nine seniors playing in their final home game. All nine seniors scored and accounted for 54 of Huntley’s 55 points.

Wicks led Huntley with 14 points, including four 3-pointers.

“We’ve worked so hard lately and that really showed tonight,” Wicks said. Great win in our final home game”.

Huntley coach Marty Manning was pleased with how his team played on both ends of the court.

“I was really happy with

how we defended and with our shooting,” Manning said. “We showed a lot of passion on defense and executed well against their zone.”

South got off to a slow start, and never recovered.

The Gators shot just 23 percent in the first half and committed 10 turnovers.

It never really got much better in the second half as South finished the game shooting 28 percent from the field.

Huntley standout Amanze Egekeze (nine points, six rebounds) was happy to win his final home game, and feels his team is ready for the postseason.

“Last year, we lost really bad on senior night and didn’t want that to happen again,” Egekeze said. “We are starting to play a lot better, and a lot of our success will depend on our mental toughness.”

The Gators were led by Kyle Bartusch with 11 points.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 1A SOUTH BELOIT REGIONAL

Durand too much for A-H in opener

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com SOUTH BELOIT – All season, Alden-Hebron boys basketball coach Tom Duffy has been preaching to his team about simply playing hard no matter the score.

“That’s what coach always talks about,” Giants junior Jacob Heaver said. “We played pretty decent [Tuesday], we never gave up, but I think with the turnovers and missed opportunities, we left some things on the floor.”

The Giants (2-23) got behind early during their Class 1A South Beloit Regional first-round game against third-seeded Durand and couldn’t climb back, eventually losing, 75-35.

With the win, Durand moves on to face Rockford Christian Life, a 61-38 winner over Orangeville in the earlier game, in Thursday’s 8 p.m. semifinal.

Heaver led the sixth-seeded Giants with 14 points, while senior Trevor Ball added 10 in the season-ending loss. A-H just couldn’t keep up with Durand’s nine different scorers, four of whom scored at least nine points.

The Giants had no answer for Durand’s Rhyse Evenson, who scored a game-high 22 points, or Parker Burton, who added 20. The two guards were able to get relatively open looks on the perimeter, knocking down a combined seven of the team’s nine 3-pointers. The range helped create space inside and opened up the lane.

The Giants were down, 48-18, by halftime, but what Duffy said in the locker room during the break really stuck with several players.

“I told them to play hard,” Duffy said, “We probably weren’t coming back, but I told them to give it their best and to make sure they gave everything they could.

“I said, ‘Go as hard as you can for as long as you can and see what happens,’ ” Duffy continued. “It’s kind of been our team motto all season.”

The Giants’ effort in the second half slowed down the Bulldogs, who stuck with their starters until midway through the fourth quarter despite the large lead. Cody Nelson forced the first of a string of three turnovers on consecutive Durand drives midway through the third, but while the Giants’ defense began creating problems for the Bulldogs, the offense was still lacking.

Heaver had many open looks in the lane by using his height and body position to shoot over defenders, but a lot of his shots fell short. He said he plans to work on his shot in the offseason in hopes of returning to the team for his senior year a better shooter.

Ball, a senior playing in his final game, scored all five of the Giants’ third-quarter points and tried to pick up his team emotionally as A-H headed into the fourth trailing, 62-23.

“No matter how much we’re down,” Ball said, “we think we can win. We couldn’t do it, but we have had that mentality throughout the season, never getting too down on ourselves.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: RICHMOND-BURTON 53, HARVARD 41

Rockets hang on, clinch title share R-B needs 1 win to win BNC East crown outright

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com HARVARD – With his Richmond-Burton boys basketball team now a win away from clinching an outright Big Northern Conference East Division title, Brandon Creason knows the Rockets should be playing better.

Creason is perplexed why problematic symptoms have suddenly crept into R-B’s routine and is hopeful they vanish before the postseason begins

next week. But even though the Rockets aren’t meeting the kind of championship standard Creason would like his team to be at, R-B is finding ways to win when it needs to.

That included Tuesday night, when the Rockets used a solid first-half performance and then shook off a shaky third quarter to earn at least a share of an East Division crown with a 53-41 win over Harvard.

The Rockets (19-7 overall, 9-2 BNC East) can capture an outright division title Friday night with a win over Burlington Central. But for that to happen, Creason said, the Rockets can’t afford a repeat performance of a win Tuesday he characterized as lackadaisical.

“We’ve got to play better than this right now,” Creason said.

The Rockets built a 14-point halftime lead, using 6-foot-9 freshman center Joe St. Pierre to their advantage. St.

Pierre had a decided size advantage in the post and combined with teammate Reggie Banks to control the post while Sam Kaufman – who led the Rockets with 15 points – was productive from the perimeter.

Harvard adjusted defensively in the second half and collapsed on St. Pierre.

The Hornets used defensive pressure to close the gap to six points late in the third quarter when Justin Nolen scored off a steal.

Nolen scored a game-high 19 points, but the Hornets (11-17, 4-7) couldn’t translate their high-pressure defense into enough point production to get any closer.

“We would score one out of every three possessions and that’s not good enough,” Harvard coach Donnie Nolen said. “We were getting stops, but we just weren’t capitalizing on the other end.”

The Hornets again got within six points midway through the fourth quarter, but R-B – which got 10 points from St. Pierre and eight points from Banks and Blaine Bayer – was able to maintain close to a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Now, everything comes down to Friday, when the Rockets could capture a division title with a win over Burlington Central and then carry some momentum into next week’s regional tournament. But, like life as of late for R-B, it won’t be easy.

“February is a tough month, and when you can power through it and get a couple of wins, it’s a sign of having a strong mental approach,” Kaufman said. “It’s hard to stay focused and remember the whole time that we’re playing for a conference championship rather than just getting through the game.”

8INSIDE GIRLS BASKETBALL Athlete of the Week CODY BRAND Woodstock, sr.

Brand, a 6-foot forward, was a big part of the Blue Streaks’ postseason run. The senior scored 15 points and 10 points, respectively, in upset wins against Marian Central and Richmond-Burton en route to Woodstock’s regional title.

Brand also scored a game-high 22 points in the Blue Streaks’ sectional semifinal loss to Rockford Lutheran on Monday.

Prairie Ridge makes Boylan work for place in sectional title game • BASKETBALL Continued from page C1 With Ali Andrews (15 points) limited in the second half because of foul trouble, freshman forward Morgan Clausen came off the bench and provided big minutes for the Red Raiders. Clausen helped Huntley protect its fourth-quarter lead by going 4 for 6 at the free throw line to their advantage to double digits.

South Elgin (20-10) took a 22-18 lead in the first 30 seconds of the third quarter, but failed to score again until 25 seconds were left in the third. By then, Huntley had built a 10-point lead. Midway through the fourth it had swelled to 18 points, 44-26.

Sam and Ali Andrews combined to score all of Huntley’s first-half points, with nine points each. The game was tied at 18 with 1:22 remaining in the second quarter on a Sam Andrews layup. The Storm stole the

momentum heading in the halftime, however, converting a careless turnover by the Red Raiders under their own basket into a layup and South Elgin two-point lead as time expired.

South Elgin had a chance to get back into the game during the second half but couldn’t capitalize on open looks, particularly on 3-pointers.

“We’re a team that likes to press, and we didn’t get as many turnovers as I would’ve liked to have,” Storm coach Tim Prendergast said. “The 3-pointer is a big shot, and that killed us.”

Boylan 64, Prairie Ridge 57: Every time Boylan began pulling away from Prairie Ridge, the Wolves found a way to stay in the game and not let the lead get out of hand.

Prairie Ridge’s defense couldn’t get the big stops, however, and a potent Titans offense picked apart the Wolves to advance to

the sectional final. Boylan (26-4) made seven 3-pointers against Prairie Ridge’s zone defense.

“I’m proud of my kids because we got down and we didn’t quit,” Wolves coach Rob Baker said. “We still kept going. We just didn’t make as many shots as we usually do. We scored 57 and there were still shots to be made.”

The Wolves (21-9) led 1310 late in the first quarter, but Boylan closed the quarter on a 10-0 run to take a seven-point lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. The Titans led by as many as 15 points with two minutes left in the third quarter. Senior guard Sarah Le Beau (teamhigh 16 points) made four 3-pointers, three of which came in the second half to keep the Wolves in the game.

Prairie Ridge pulled within seven points with two minutes left in the game, but the Titans made enough free throws to close out the

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Of the Blackhawks’ 10 Olympians who particated in the Sochi Games, veteran forward Marian Hossa arguably bears the most watching.

Although Hossa is playing as well as he has in his five seasons with the Hawks, he’s still 35 – with 1,225 NHL games in 16 NHL seasons on him and a recent history of nagging injuries.

But Hossa and Slovakian teammate Michal Handzus showed little, if any, effect of the Olympic Games when they returned to the ice for practice Tuesday at Johnny’s West.

“I was surprised how well they skated, how much energy they had, so it was good to see them return,’’ Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

As it turned out, except for a couple of long plane flights the Olympics were a relative break for Hossa. Slovakia was a disappointing 0-3-1 in Sochi – a bummer for Hossa and Handzus for sure, but a bit of a bonus for the Hawks. Hossa has played four games in the past 18 days. He played eight games with the Hawks in the same span last year and 10 games in that span in 2011-12.

The biggest challenge seemed to be jet lag, and Hossa was over that when he hit the ice Tuesday.

“So far, I feel good. I felt normal,’’ Hossa said after practice. “The time change is good now. I’ve been here a few days.

It’s nice to skate back and get ready for the rest of the season.

Hossa, who scored two goals

in the Olympic Games, has 24 goals and 50 points in 55 games with the Blackhawks this season. His plus-26 rating is tied for third in the NHL. Quenneville has managed Hossa’s ice time in practices and morning skates to maximize his performance – a plan that worked particularly well at the end of the recent road trip.

Quenneville said he Marian will continue Hossa to give Hossa “maintenance days’’ on a need basis. “He feels good right now,’’ he said.

But Quenneville indicated that all the Olympians will get the same consideration.

“If they need a day off, they’ll get it, because we prioritize games,’’ Quenneville said. “But I don’t foresee a lot of practices between now and the rest of the season.’’

Although disappointed with his team’s performance in Sochi, Hossa made the most of the trip.

“Obviously our team didn’t finish the way we wanted. We definitely weren’t satisfied with what we achieved there.

But the overall experience was great,’’ Hossa said. “ think everybody was a little worried [about] gong to Russia, but I think they did an excellent [job]. Everything went pretty smooth. The security and the villages, the stadiums, everything was top-notch. Even the food was great. So no complaints at all.’’

Handzus echoed that sentiment – to a degree, but couldn’t

hide his disappointment when asked about the ‘’Olympic experience.’’

“It was all right,’’ he said.

“Obviously, our team didn’t play very well. It wasn’t as much fun as you would have liked.

“The experience there was awesome to be in the Olympics. I think everything they did over there was real nice.

The rinks were nice. The village was awesome. It was beautiful weather, too – better than [Chicago].

“So the experience was pretty good, but obviously we go there for hockey and it wasn’t as much fun. We don’t really look at it as a positive thing.’’

Notes: With Olympians Hossa, Handzus and Michal Rozsival on the ice, the Blackhawks practiced with 15 players Tuesday. “It ... got us up to three lines, which is progress,’’ Quenneville said. “We did get better as we progressed over the last couple of days.’’

• Quenneville said “one or two” of the remaining seven Olympians could skate Wednesday at practice. But the rest will not participate until Thursday’s morning skate in New York prior to facing the Rangers Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

• Quenneville said goaltender Corey Crawford, who started 14 of 16 games before the break, will play “the bulk of the games’’ in the 22-game stretch before the playoffs.

“Crow likes to play,’’ Quenneville said. “He handles a big workload and doesn’t have a problem with it. But his play will dictate a lot of that as well.’’

Michigan State’s Darquez Dennard and Oklahoma State’s Justin Gilbert, both cornerbacks, work out Tuesday during the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

NFL COMBINE

CBs could fit into Bears’ plans

By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com INDIANAPOLIS – When Darqueze Dennard and Justin Gilbert met at December’s College Football Awards, the Michigan State cornerback coined a nickname for the Oklahoma State star: “Pretty Boy.” “He makes fun of me because I always take ‘selfies’ on my phone,” Gilbert said.

Despite their needs elsewhere, the Bears could call either cornerback – by name or nickname – in the May NFL draft.

It’s not a ridiculous notion.

The Bears traveled to scout Dennard during his senior season at Michigan State, sources told the Sun-Times.

They liked what they saw: the 5-foot-11, 199-pounder won the Jim Thorpe Award and was a unanimous first-team All-American, intercepting four passes and breaking up 10 more. He’s considered the best cover corner in the draft.

Dennard’s 4.51-second 40-yard dash Tuesday at the NFL Combine was enough to impress the NFL Network’s Mike Mayock, who already had him pegged as a potential top-15 pick.

Gilbert, however, blew Dennard’s doors off Tuesday.

The 6-foot, 202-pounder ran an absurd 4.37-second 40-yard dash, the fastest of any cornerback and the fourth-fleetest of any player at Lucas Oil Stadium. His 20 bench-press reps were tied for third-best among corners.

Even if he lacks Dennard’s ball skills, Gilbert, who played press coverage almost three-quarters of his OSU snaps, is among the mostprized possessions in today’s NFL: a cornerback with size.

He said he and Dennard, who did not speak to media at the combine, both do “a pretty good job of playing the ball in the air.”

Gilbert led the Big 12 with seven interceptions last year.

“I think he’s a pretty complete player,” Gilbert said of Dennard. “He’s not as fast me.

I can tell you that.”

The Bears are desperate for defensive playmakers – general manager Phil Emery calls scoring on defense his most valued trait – but have long placed value on the cornerback grit.

It’s the identity of their defense.

“I know our players believe it – that generally the tough-

ness of your team shows up in your corners,” Emery said.

“So we want tough physical tacklers, but also guys that have the athleticism and the speed to get their hands on the ball.”

That sounds a lot like Charles Tillman, doesn’t it?

Emery reiterated that the free agent-to-be is “a big part of this,” and said the team has told Tillman they’d like him to return. Coach Marc Trestman called the 33-year-old “extremely important.”

But the two sides have yet to agree on his value.

The most obvious of Tillman’s suitors could be former Bears coach Lovie Smith, whose Buccaneers on Tuesday were rumored to be shopping their own star corner, Darrelle Revis.

Were Tillman to leave, would the Bears dream of using the No. 14 pick on a cornerback, considering their gaping holes at defensive tackle, defensive end and safety?

Consider this: At Oklahoma State, Gilbert had six career kickoff returns for touchdowns.

Replacing Tillman and free agent-to-be Devin Hester at the same time: Now that would be worthy of a selfie.

8NBA BRIEF Knicks’ Felton arraigned on 2 felony gun charges NEW YORK – New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton was arraigned on two felony weapons possession charges Tuesday in Manhattan Criminal Court. The arraignment followed his early morning arrest after a

lawyer for his wife turned in a loaded semi-automatic handgun allegedly belonging to the basketball star to a police precinct, claiming she no longer wanted it in their home, authorities said.

Wearing a black sweatshirt with a peace sign and other symbols on it, Felton was seem-

ingly upbeat as he appeared before Judge Diana Boyar, nodding affirmatively after he was ordered to stay away from his wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton.

He did not enter a plea, which is common for this stage in the case.

The Bulls’ Mike Dunleavy (left) and the Hawks’ DeMarre Carroll fight for a rebound in the first half Tuesday in Atlanta.

BULLS 107, HAWKS 103

Anything but easy Bulls scrap, claw their way to narrow win

By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls

jcowley@suntimes.com ATLANTA – It wasn’t supposed to be a fight.

Come into Atlanta, beat a Hawks team that had lost eight of their last nine games, strut out of Philips Arena, and enjoy the flight home.

There weren’t supposed to be sighs of relief around the locker room, and battle wounds on the upper body of Joakim Noah in the form of scratches.

“We’re just trying to find a way,” Noah said, after Tuesday’s 107-103 Bulls win. “They really wanted that game, and we wanted it too. It wasn’t pretty at times, but I’m just happy we were able to come out with the win.”

And body parts mostly intact.

Since coming out of the All-Star Break, the intensity of teams battling for position in the Eastern Conference has been obvious, starting last week in Toronto and continuing against the Hawks. While the games might not be aesthetically pleasing, according

Golden State at Bulls, 7 p.m.

Wednesday, CSN, AM-1000

to coach Tom Thibodeau, go ahead and throw that concept right out the window.

“The end game is getting the win,” Thibodeau said.

“Whatever you’re facing you have to be prepared to deal with that and deal with that efficiently.”

A concept the Bulls (30-26) had trouble grasping at times.

Luckily, against a team like the Hawks there was room for forgiveness and plenty of mistakes.

Trailing 103-101, Kirk Hinrich drew a questionable foul on a 3-point attempt, and with 40.8 seconds left made all three to give the Bulls the 104103 lead.

It appeared Atlanta (26-30) got the lead back on a 3-pointer by Mike Scott, but Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer had

called a timeout before the shot was released. The Hawks then turned the ball over on a Hinrich steal with 23 seconds left, but rather than step on their throats, the Bulls let the Hawks breath.

Mike Dunleavy’s inbound pass to Noah was stolen, giving Atlanta a chance to take the lead. One problem – it’s the Hawks.

So of course Jeff Teague stepped out of bounds dribbling underneath the basket.

Hinrich was fouled with 11 seconds left, and after making both the Bulls were still clinging to the three-point lead.

After the timeout, Scott attempted a game-tying 3 that was stymied by Noah, giving Hinrich the chance to ice the game by splitting his two free throws with 4.7 seconds left. “ ‘Kirkie’ was huge,’’ Noah said. “He hit big free throws, a steal. That was huge for this team. He brings that energy on the defensive end, and just makes sure that everyone is in the right spot on offense.

He’s playing real confident, playing good basketball for us and that’s huge.”

NLRB ruling likely in 4-6 weeks • UNION Continued from page C1 a starting offensive tackle the last three years of his fouryear football career from 20092012. Ward was the only one who had an athletic scholarship during his entire time at Northwestern. The other two were walk-ons who earned athletic scholarships during their time on the team.

All three had high grade point averages during college and said their coaches helped them overcome conflicts between playing football and taking the classes they needed to earn their degrees.

Those comments, too, conflicted with Colter’s testimony

Feb. 18, in which Colter said his grueling schedule of 50-60 hours a week prevented him from taking certain courses and that his academic advisor counseled him to stay away from more demanding classes such as chemistry during his freshman year so that he could ease into his demanding football role.

Bartels completed a master’s in liberal studies at Northwestern in 2012 after having earned a bachelor’s in biological anthropology in 2011. His undergraduate grade point average was 3.5.

Pace’s GPA was 3.15 and Ward’s was 3.94.

Colter said he expects to finish his final credit hours

with a grade point average of 3.1 to 3.2.

The five days of testimony on the issue will go to the regional director of the NLRB, who is expected to rule within four to six weeks whether football players are employees of the university.

The ultimate decision could go to the full NLRB board in Washington, D.C., and on to a Court of Appeals, depending on the future rulings.

After the hearing ended Tuesday afternoon, Ramogi Huma, president of the National College Players Association, said testimony about players’ grades is irrelevant to their status as employees. Huma is a representative for the players.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

No. 14 Wisconsin tops Indiana The ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Wis. – Sam Dekker scored 16 points, and No. 14 Wisconsin shrugged off a slow start to beat Indiana, 69-58, on Tuesday night.

The Hoosiers (15-12 overall, 5-9 Big Ten) held Wisconsin (23-5, 10-5) to its lowest point production in the first half this season, taking a 29-19 lead.

But the Badgers, who shot just 26 percent in the first half, opened the second half by outscoring the Hoosiers 9-2 in a span of just over 3 minutes and then used a 22-5 run to put the game away.

Yogi Ferrell scored 21 points to lead Indiana, and freshman Noah Vonleh added 18.

Traevon Jackson scored 14 points for the Badgers, and Ben Brust added 12.

Minnesota 95, No. 20 Iowa 89: At Minneapolis, Austin Hollins scored a career-high 27 points on 8-for-10 shooting, DeAndre Mathieu had 19 points and seven assists, and Minnesota bounced back from a monthlong slump with a victory over Iowa.

Hollins made all seven of his free throws for the Gophers (18-11, 7-9 Big Ten), who won for the third time in their past nine games by making 13 of their last 14 free throws over the final 70 seconds. Charles Buggs came off the end of the bench to score a career-high 13 points.

Roy Devyn Marble had only five of his 24 points in the second half for the Hawkeyes (19-8, 8-6), who have their first two-game losing streak of the season. All six of their previous defeats were by teams currently

Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky shoots against Indiana’s Noah Vonleh (left) and Austin Etherington in the first half Tuesday in Madison, Wis. ranked in the top 22 of the latest Associated Press poll.

Aaron White added 21 points, and Josh Oglesby scored 16 in his first start of the season.

No. 2 Wichita St. 69, Bradley 49: At Peoria, Ron Baker scored 15 points to lead four Wichita State players in double figures, and the Shockers became the first Division I team to reach 30-0 in the regular season with a victory over Bradley (12-18, 7-10 Missouri Valley).

Wichita State is the 11th team to reach 30-0, the previous 10 all hit-

ting the 30-win mark during postseason play. The last team to reach 30-0 was UNLV in 1990-91. The Runnin’ Rebels went 34-0 that season before losing to Duke in the national semifinals.

The Shockers (30-0, 17-0) have one more regular-season game, at home Saturday against Missouri State.

The last team to finish a regular season unbeaten was Saint Joseph’s in 2003-04 at 27-0. The next season, Illinois got to 29-0 before losing its regular-season finale at Ohio State.

Missouri St. 72, Loyola 56: At Springfield, Mo., Christian Kirk scored 16 points and Keith Pickens 14 as Missouri State (19-10, 9-8 MVC) defeated Loyola (9-20, 4-13) to stake out – for the moment – sole possession of third place in the MVC, which begins its postseason tournament next week.

DePaul 65, Seton Hall 60: At Chicago, Brandon Young had a teamhigh 19 points, including four in the final minute and a half, as DePaul snapped a 10-game losing streak with a victory over Seton Hall (1414, 5-10).

Billy Garrett Jr. and Durrell McDonald had 15 points apiece and Sandi Marcius added 10 as the Blue Demons (11-18, 3-13 Big East) won for the first time since Jan. 14, a 7775 victory against St. John’s, with all the losses coming in-conference.

Illinois-Chicago 80, Milwaukee 58: At Milwaukee, Kelsey Barlow scored 23 points, and Illinois-Chicago (6-23, 1-14 Horizon League) snapped a 17-game losing streak, earning its first conference victory with a win over Milwaukee (16-13, 6-9.

Smaller Vogelbach hopes for big year

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Slugging prospect Dan Vogelbach’s big plans for this season started with thinking small during the offseason.

And so far the results have been huge – as in 30 pounds trimmed from his 6-foot frame.

“I feel much better, I feel looser, a lot more athletic,” Dan said the Cubs’ Vogelbach ninth-ranked prospect (according to Baseball America’s latest ranking), who said he ate better and increased his cardio work this winter to get the results. “I feel I can do a lot more things I wouldn’t be able to do the last couple of seasons.”

In early work since he got to the Cubs’ spring complex last month, that has meant more agility defensively around the bag at first and even translated to quicker hands and torso on his powerful swing.

“I’m not tied up on some pitches I used to get tied up on,” said the Cubs’ second-round pick in 2011 who was conservatively listed at 250 pounds on last year’s roster.

The biggest upside to the dramatic downsizing might be the potential for gaining a firmer foothold in his longrange future with the organization.

“It’s really fulfilling from tons of coaches’ and front office people’s standpoint, because that’s what we’ve talked about with this guy for the last two years,” said Daytona manager Dave Keller, who had Vogelbach the final few weeks of the season, “to get him to understand that at some point in time in athletics, everybody has to change their body to perform.

“It’s a huge credit to him that he made a drastic commitment to change. And the key word there is drastic.”

A big knock on the powerful first baseman nicknamed “Vogelbomb” was a lack of defensive agility that had some projecting his long-term future would be as a designated hitter.

“I’ve said all along I don’t want to just be a DH,” Vogelbach said. “I want to play in the field; I want to play first base.

I think this helps out, with infielders having confidence in me. And it gives me more confidence around the bag, going to get balls that maybe I wouldn’t go get before. And though I’ve been able to stay healthy throughout the years, this’ll help me with that, too.”

The weight loss hasn’t cost him any strength, said the still solid-looking Vogelbach.

“I got stronger as I lost weight. I kept lifting, and I kept working out,” he said. “I feel like I’ve got more power because I’m a lot looser, and my hands are more free. I’m not as stiff up there.”

After a .284, 19-homer season that began at Single-A Kane County and finished in the advanced-A Florida State League finals, that could mean even bigger things at the plate for the smaller version of Vogelbach.

“It’s a huge year,” he said.

“Every year’s a huge year. ...

Last year I had a good year; I didn’t have a great year. I want to have great years. So this is a big year for me to come out and have a better year than last year.”

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ Adam Eaton (right) celebrates with teammate Didi Gregorius after a game against San Diego on Aug. 26, 2013, in Phoenix. Eaton joined the White Sox in the offseason.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Less than two weeks into camp, Adam Eaton is beginning to feel like a White Sox. It’s not difficult for the Sox to get a feel for him.

The Sox’s new center fielder enters the room with a smile, a full tank of fuel and an eagerness to get on the field every day that Sox management hopes is infectious.

And if that happens to rub some the wrong way, well, the Sox will have to deal with it.

That notion only comes to mind because of an unnamed Arizona Diamondback who said Eaton did just that with the Diamondbacks last season.

Here’s an initial observation of Eaton: He’s a happy guy and a talker who expresses passion for his job. If that’s annoying, oh well.

Eaton has made Sox friends quickly. Accepting an invitation from Paul Konerko to hit at his home during offseason was a good start.

“You spend time with him, you spend time with the whole

organization,’’ Eaton said.

New teammates have asked him about the Diamondbacks thing, wondering what that was all about.

“I wasn’t really sure, to be honest,’’ Eaton said. “I thought I had good rapport with all those guys. Usually there’s one teammate who rubs you the wrong way, but that guy happened to speak up.

“I’m getting along great with all these guys and I thought the same thing with the Diamondbacks, I really did. I didn’t think I rubbed people the wrong way.

I am energetic and I love to play the game, and I don’t think in need to change that. Bring that kid mentality to the game. It’s fun. I hate that I offended somebody in the clubhouse. If I knew who it was, I would definitely apologize and talk to him to try and be a better teammate.’’

A year ago, Eaton was held in high regard by the Diamondbacks, who viewed him as their center fielder and leadoff man of the future after he had batted .355 over three minor-league seasons.

But an elbow injury sidelined him, A.J. Pollock stepped

in and played so well that he was named the team’s Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, Eaton batted .252 when he got back, and the Diamondbacks felt comfortable trading him in a three-way deal that sent Hector Santiago to the Angels and brought Mark Trumbo to Arizona.

The Sox, looking for upgrades in center, in the leadoff spot and wanting to inject some life into the lineup, were delighted to acquire Eaton.

“Guys like him have been able to raise the intensity and the level of other people in the lineup, and hopefully he can do that,’’ manager Robin Ventura said.

Eaton reached on a drag bunt single during the Sox’s first intrasquad game Tuesday.

That’s what leadoff guys do.

“I’m kind of excited to see a guy who wants to be a true leadoff hitter, that type of role,’’ Konerko said. “We haven’t had that all the time. We’ve had spurts of it here and there with some guys. I’ve seen him the last couple of springs with the Diamondbacks and was really impressed.’’

Ozzie Smith leads drive to make Opening Day holiday The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Ozzie Smith wants the federal government to make Opening Day of the major league baseball season a national holiday.

The Hall of Fame shortstop is leading a campaign to collect 100,000 signatures within 30 days under the We the People petitioning pro-

gram, which would trigger a review by the Obama administration. The effort is being backed by Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Budweiser brand.

“Coming from St. Louis, of course being such as baseball town, it’s sort of an unofficial holiday, Opening Day, so they thought it would be a good idea for Mr. Smith to just take a trip to Washington,”

Smith said Tuesday during a telephone interview.

Smith, 59, known as the “Wizard of Oz” for his great glove, played for the Ozzie Smith St. Louis Cardinals from 1982 through 1996 after spend-

ing his first four big league seasons with San Diego. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002.

“I don’t know exactly what the odds of success are,” Smith said. “With the Budweiser machine behind it, I’m sure that we’ll get the 100,000 signatures.”

Anheuser-Busch InBev

said 10 percent of respondents said they had skipped work to attend or watch an MLB opener, according to a survey by KRC Research.

The online survey of 1,004 Americans 21 or older was conducted from Feb. 13 through 16, and there was a 95 percent level of confidence the error margin was plusor-minus 3.09 percent.

Sandra Bullock in “Gravity”

THE HEALTHY OPTION: Chef Sarah Moulton was a little alarmed at the sight of poor Sandra Bullock floating around in space in bestpicture nominee “Gravity.” But the actress’ weightlessness made her think of souffles, which led to her recipe for Goat Cheese Phyllo Bites – the perfect “anti-gravity” – not “anti‘Gravity’ ” – treats for Oscar night.

Celebrate Hollywood’s best with 10 bold, easy crostini toppers at your Oscars party

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

A

n Oscar viewing party should be the culinary antithesis of a Super Bowl gathering.

Where the latter focuses on big, bold, messy flavors tied together with a whole lot of fat, the Academy Awards call for a more refined dining experience (even if both events are spent on the same couch in front of the same television).

So for our refined fare, we opted for a crostini party.

Smoked Salmon Tartare Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 12 8 ounces smoked salmon Zest and juice of 1 lime Zest and juice of 1 orange 1/2 English cucumber, seeded and finely diced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander Salt and ground black pepper Place the salmon in the freezer for

Artichoke Caponata Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 12 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 large red onion, chopped 3 stalks celery, diced 2 medium carrots, finely diced

10 minutes, or until very cold. Dice the salmon using a very sharp knife.

In a medium bowl, combine the citrus zests and juices, cucumber, chives, cilantro and coriander.

Mix gently but thoroughly, then mix in the salmon. Season with salt and black pepper.

1/3 cup chopped green olives 2 tablespoons chopped capers 14-ounce can quartered artichoke hearts 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons honey Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano Salt and ground black pepper

We created 10 toppings that can be spooned, scooped or smeared onto whatever bases you like. Assemble the toppings, offer up an assortment of breads, crackers and crisps, then let guests help themselves while you focus on the awards (and the cocktails).

To make your party prep even easier, all of these toppings can be assembled up to a day ahead of time. Many of them take 30 minutes or less to assemble. The flavors will be better if you let the toppings come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Balsamic Marinated Mushrooms Start to finish: 2 hours (15 minutes active) Servings: 12 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms Salt and ground black pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Halve or quarter the mushrooms to be small bites. Heat a skillet over medium-high and add the mushrooms.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the olive oil. Add the shallot, garlic and onion, then saute until tender and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the olives, capers, artichokes, vinegar, honey, lemon zest and juice and oregano. Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring gently.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm

Shrimp Cocktail With Bloody Mary Sauce

THE PARTY STANDARD: Chef Elizabeth Karmel’s favorite thing about fancy parties? They almost always include a shrimp cocktail appetizer. She pairs her shrimp with a bloody mary cocktail sauce that is both pretty and reminiscent of the classic cocktail sipped by Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) in “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to release their moisture and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, olive oil and rosemary, then cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Cover and let sit for 2 hours.

No need for a party to have shrimp cocktail

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press My favorite thing about fancy parties? They almost always include a shrimp cocktail appetizer – platters of giant, plump shrimp just waiting to be dunked into a piquant cocktail sauce.

But there’s no reason you have to wait for fancy parties to enjoy this treat. All you need is an excuse. And to me, there’s none better than an Oscar viewing party. Best yet, shrimp cocktail is easy to make and can be done in advance, and you don’t even have to cook the shrimp yourself (but it is better if you do).

The bloody mary cocktail sauce here is one of my favorites. The addition of vodka adds a spike of flavor and the rim of celery salt is both pretty and reminiscent of that classic cocktail.

Shrimp Cocktail With Bloody Mary Sauce Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 6 Kosher salt 2 lemons, quartered 2 pounds jumbo shell-on raw shrimp, thawed if frozen For the sauce: 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 cup Heinz Chili Sauce Zest and juice of 1 small lemon Juice of 1/2 small lime 1 heaping tablespoon prepared white horseradish (or more to taste) 1 teaspoon pureed chipotle peppers in adobo (or more to taste) 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) vodka 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Pinch garlic salt Celery salt, for serving Fill a large (6- to 8-quart) stockpot halfway with water, then add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil. Add the lemons, then return the water to a boil. Add the shrimp, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Leave the shrimp in the water

for 2 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through, pink and curled. The larger the shrimp, the longer they will take to cook.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Add enough cold water to cover the shrimp, then stir to cool them.

When the shrimp are cool, peel and devein them, then pat them dry and transfer to a platter or plate.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To make the sauce, in a medium non-reactive bowl, mix together the ketchup, chili sauce, lemon juice and zest, lime juice, horseradish, pureed chipotle, vodka, Worcestershire and garlic salt.

Taste and adjust seasonings. If you like a lot of horseradish and chipotle, you may want to add more. The sauce can be made and refrigerated in a glass jar up to one week in advance.

Sprinkle celery salt around the rim of a serving dish. Transfer the cocktail sauce to a serving bowl and place in the center of the serving dish. Arrange the chilled shrimp around the edges.

Mini soufflés light as air What to serve at this year’s Oscar party? I had no clear idea about the right dish until I glanced at a list of the movies in contention.

“Gravity” was the one that jumped out at me. Watching the trailer, I was a little alarmed at the sight of poor Sandra Bullock floating around in space. But I also was inspired by her weightlessness. It made me think of souffles, which are famously light thanks to all the whipped egg whites in them.

Thus, these “anti-gravity” – not “anti-‘Gravity’ ” – treats.

Still, a problem remained: How to turn a full-blown souffle into a tasty nibble for a party?

The solution: Make each one small enough to fit into a mini-phyllo shell. Happily, these days you should be able to find mini-phyllo shells in the freezer section of your local supermarket. Fill them and bake them and they’re good to go.

Even better, each of these little guys is fairly low in calories – no more than 15 calories a shell.

These little souffles are fairly indestructible. It’s hot melty cheese in a crispy shell.

Indeed, when the show is over, don’t be surprised if you walk away with an award for Best Appetizer at an Oscar Party.

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton Goat Cheese Phyllo Bites Start to finish: 30 minutes (15 minutes active) Makes 45 bites 3 packages (each package contains 15 cups) phyllo pastry cups 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup 1 percent milk 4-ounce log soft goat cheese, crumbled 1 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1 large egg, separated, plus 1 large egg white, at room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard Kosher salt and ground black pepper Pinch of cream of tartar 45 fresh dill, tarragon or miniature fresh basil sprigs or snipped chives Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

An old-time classic, the 1922 silent movie “Blood and Sand,” did make an impression on the bar scene, writes cocktail historian Erica Duecy in her book, “Storied Sips.” The movie helped make a star of Rudolph Valentino – also known as The Great Lover – and inspired the Blood and Sand cocktail, which first appears in the 1930 “Savoy Cocktail Book.”

And pink Champagne cocktails are the drink of choice in 1957’s “An Affair to Remember.” Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr quaff them during their shipboard romance, with the pink, or rose, Champagne symbolizing a carefree attitude.

Teriyaki chicken wraps up an easy Oscar party

Sailor Steak Casserole

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Whether you’ll be hosting a crowd or watching solo, Oscar night calls for dinner with a bit of panache.

So let’s reverse engineer this. To help you get in the mood, you’ll want to drink something with bubbles.

Sparkling wine is the obvious choice, though don’t forget the sparkling cider for those abstaining. But you don’t have to sip them straight up.

Sparkling wine and cider are delicious when doctored.

For either, consider pureeing watermelon, then pouring the puree into ice cube trays and freezing. Drop one cube into each glass, then top with the sparkling beverage. Or for something more wintery, grab a jar of amarena cherries, an Italian treat of sour cherries packed in syrup. Drop one into each glass, then fill and sip.

With the drinks sorted, we need something that works with bubbles. Fried food is perfect, but who wants to deep-fry at home? The other happy companion to bubbles is Asian food. So I created a simple teriyaki chicken that is served in lettuce wraps. The recipe comes together quickly, but has wonderful savory, yet light, flavors that work perfectly with your cocktails.

Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 8 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon hot sauce 1 teaspoon fish sauce 3 medium carrots, cut into chunks 1 small yellow onion, quartered 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

One-pot meal still is satisfying I love one-pot meals that bake slowly in the oven and come out transformed into a delicious meal. Sailor Steak Casserole is such a meal, and it makes its own gravy while it’s cooking.

My grandma used to make this when I was little, but I’ve added some of my own tweaks to it. It also can be made gluten-free or cooked in a crock-pot.

1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons cool water 1 head Boston lettuce, separated into leaves (or similar broad, tender lettuce) In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic powder, hot sauce and fish sauce.

Set aside.

In a food processor, combine the carrots and onion. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the chicken, then pulse several times to begin chopping the chicken. Add the sauce, then continue pulsing just until the chicken is well chopped, but not ground. The pieces should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the

chicken and cook, stirring often and breaking up any clumps, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.

In a small glass, stir together the cornstarch and water, then add to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to one side of a serving platter. Arrange the lettuce leaves on the other side.

Diners help themselves by spooning the chicken into individual leaves, using the leaves as they would a sandwich wrap.

Woman worries her gentle Non-surgical approach can friend may harbor dark side relieve carpal tunnel pain Dear Abby: I’m incredibly fond of my friend, “Russell.”

He is always supportive, considerate and kind to me.

However, I know he is into S&M, and this worries me, as I can’t reconcile the two different people – a gentle person with someone wanting to dominate and possibly hurt a woman in bed.

Should I be worried Russell is hiding a dark side that will eventually come out and ruin our friendship? – Worried Friend In Australia Dear Worried: You and Russell must be very close friends if he is describing his sexual practices with you. My experts tell me acting out aggressive fantasies does not necessarily mean a person is aggressive.

As long as your relationship remains platonic, what he does in the bedroom shouldn’t affect it. But if you’re considering taking your friendship with Russell to another level, it’s important you talk further about this. If this isn’t something you’re interested in exploring – and it isn’t for everyone – then draw the line or move on.

Dear Abby: I’m a 14-yearold girl, and my mother just got home from rehab. I have been living with my grandmother for a year and a half.

I want to tell my mother my feelings, but I don’t want to hurt her. I love her, but I’m still not over what she has done.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips She is barely home. She has meetings, and she likes to stay with her boyfriend. I think it’s too soon. She came home only a week ago. What do I do, Abby? – Confused

Teen Dear Confused: You have my sympathy. I hope your mother’s rehabilitation will be successful. It’s good she is going to meetings, and I agree with you it’s too soon for her to be staying with her boyfriend.

However, she’s unlikely to accept hearing it from you or me, which is why you should talk to your grandmother about your feelings.

Your mother might accept it if she hears from your grandmother that should there be any “bumps” in her relationship with this man – and there usually are a few – they could jeopardize her sobriety.

Dear Abby: I have a 19-month-old son, “Nicky.”

He stays at my in-laws’ house most days while my husband and I work. Lately, I’ve noticed when I go to pick him up, Grandma and Grandpa like to give him “kiss attacks,” where they hold him “hostage” and give him several kisses.

Sometimes he lets them, and it’s not a problem. Other

times he squirms, whines and tells them no. It’s painful to watch, especially when they respond with, “I know you’re not going to like this, but I’m going to do it anyway.”

I think this is a huge violation of my son’s boundaries. It teaches him he should just give in because nobody cares he’s uncomfortable.

My husband thinks Nicky is too young to understand, and it’s not going to hurt him to have extra affection.

I’m an affectionate person who likes to hug and kiss my son, too, but if he’s not in the mood, I let him be. Who is right? – Loving Mommy In

Colorado Dear Loving Mommy: You are. Affection is something welcome. If you don’t want it, it’s not affection.

The most significant issues in child development have to do with nurturing and building trust. However well meant, holding a child “hostage” is more a display of power than affection.

If your in-laws stopped “attacking,” your son would be more likely to seek their affection when he wants it.

A better way to demonstrate their love for him would be to do something creative, such as drawing a picture showing their affection for him.

Dear Dr. K: I have carpal tunnel syndrome. How can I relieve the discomfort without drugs or surgery?

Dear Reader: Carpal tunnel syndrome causes pain and discomfort in the wrist that can extend into the hand or forearm. It’s often caused by activities that require constant use of the wrists. People who spend a lot of time at a computer keyboard, for example, pounding away at the keys, are more likely to experience it.

Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression of the median nerve. This is a major nerve that extends from the spinal cord through the wrist and to the fingers.

In the wrist, the median nerve passes through a narrow channel called the carpal tunnel.

The carpal tunnel is made of stiff fibers and is only slightly wider than the median nerve. As a result, if repeated activity of the wrist leads to inflammation and swelling of the tissue in the wrist, the nerve can become pinched and compressed.

(I’ve put an illustration of this on my website, www. askdoctork.com.)

Carpal tunnel syndrome initially causes tingling, numbness and burning

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff pain in the wrist. These symptoms also are felt in the thumb and second and third fingers, because that’s where the nerve fibers lead.

Sleeping with your wrists in a flexed position can worsen pressure on the nerve. That’s because when the wrist is flexed, the nerve is more easily pinched inside the carpal tunnel. You may awaken with tingling and achiness in the wrist.

As the condition progresses, the muscles in the hand can begin to waste away and the nerve can become permanently damaged. This can lead to weakness and loss of function and sensation, as well as pain.

So don’t treat possible symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome as just an annoyance: Let your doctor know about them. Non-drug and non-surgical treatments are most effective if used when symptoms first begin, before the nerve is damaged.

The first step is typically a splint that keeps the wrist in an open (unbent) position. This helps prevent

compression of the median nerve, and can relieve mild to moderate discomfort and disability.

Wear the splint while sleeping. If you have constant pain, wear the splint during the day for four to six weeks, then decrease use of it over the next month. Because you’re trying to avoid drugs and surgery, you may even benefit from wearing a splint intermittently for years.

You also can work with an occupational therapist, who can teach you to use your hands in ways that will not aggravate your condition. An OT also can recommend adaptive equipment, such as gripping devices, or an ergonomically designed keyboard to use at home or at your office.

These non-surgical approaches usually provide relief. If they don’t, injections of inflammation-calming medicine into the carpal tunnel may help. If surgery is required, it’s pretty simple – not a major operation.

But non-surgical measures often are sufficient to fix the problem.

Lighter chiles rellenos filled with veggies, topped with avocado sauce

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post For the longest time, my favorite dish in Mexican restaurants near and far was chile relleno: a poblano pepper stuffed with meat and cheese, battered, fried and slathered with sauce. It still ranks high on the list.

But to make it at home? Oh, what a pain. You’ve got to peel the broiled and blackened poblanos very carefully, so they don’t rip, and then cut an opening just big enough to get your fingers in (so you can pull the seeds out) yet small enough so that when you stuff the thing, it holds together for the frying. Toothpicks often come into play. And that’s before you’ve even coated the peppers in batter or heated up the oil.

At home, I make a more healthful version by roasting instead of frying, and of course it also happens to be much easier.

You still have to peel carefully, but the pepper can be splayed open wide to fit in a lot of filling and doesn’t need to close for its oven time. These days, there’s no meat in my rellenos, just a combination of whatever seasonal roasted or sautéed vegetables I happen to have around, usually with some beans: black, pinto or garbanzo.

While the chilies are roasting, I make a quick, chipotle-spiked avocado-and-yogurt sauce. After I drizzle it on the finished peppers, I sprinkle them with pumpkin seeds for a little crunch.

I’d say it couldn’t be simpler, but I’d be lying. It would be easier if I skipped the step of blackening and peeling the poblanos first, a shortcut I’ve been meaning to try as I think about the similarities between this

dish and Italian-style stuffed red or green peppers. If you decide to give that technique a whirl, let me know how it goes. I’m always up for more streamlining.

Roasted Chiles Rellenos With Avocado Sauce

Roasted Chiles Rellenos With Avocado Sauce 4 servings For the chiles rellenos: 4 large poblano peppers 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ancho chili powder 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 medium zucchini or yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch chunks 1/2 pound thin green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup canned, no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and drained 2 medium tomatoes, chopped 1/2 cup pitted green olives, chopped 4 ounces (about 1 cup) Monterey Jack cheese, grated Kosher or sea salt For the sauce: Flesh of 1 ripe avocado 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/2 teaspoon adobo (from canned chipotles) Juice of 1 lime 1/4 cup water, plus more as needed 1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds, toasted For the chiles rellenos: Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the broiler element or flame; preheat the broiler.

Arrange the poblanos on a pan. Broil, turning periodically, until the peppers are charred all over, a few minutes on each side. Transfer them to a heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate to

The hottest furnace dealer in town!

steam as they cool. Turn off the broiler; preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, sprinkle in the ancho chili powder and cook briefly, just until it foams and releases its aroma. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften. Stir in the zucchini and green beans, and cook until they have barely started to soften. Remove from the heat and stir in the chickpeas, tomatoes, olives and cheese. Season with salt to taste.

Cool.

When the poblanos are cool enough

to handle, gently rub off their blackened skins, being careful to keep the stems and flesh intact.

Cut a slit on one side of each poblano, starting near the stem and cutting most of the way down the side. Carefully reach in and remove the seeds. Use your hands to carefully stuff the filling into the poblanos, packing them as full as possible and mounding the filling on top, if desired.

Carefully transfer the stuffed poblanos to a roasting pan, cut sides up, leaving the filling exposed. Roast until the filling sizzles and the cheese has melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the sauce: Use a fork to thoroughly mash the avocado flesh in a medium bowl. Whisk in the yogurt, adobo, lime juice and water to form a thick sauce, adding more water if you want to adjust the consistency.

Divide the chiles rellenos among individual plates. Spoon some of the sauce on top of each, then sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds.

Smartphones for less Phone makers look to emerging markets for growth

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain – Here’s the rub for companies: A good part of the key markets they serve already own smartphones and use them to connect various Internet services. How do you grow from there?

Services from Facebook to Firefox are looking to emerging markets for the next few billion people. They are not only targeting the obvious highpopulation countries such as India and China, but also see potential in Latin America, Africa and just about everywhere beyond the U.S., Canada, western Europe and a few Asian nations.

One message has been clear this week at the Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain: Even as the affluent crave the latest iPhones or Android phones, most of the world can’t afford the hundreds of dollars they cost.

So there’s been a push to get mobile devices cheap enough to reach emerging markets without sacrificing so much performance that firsttime smartphone owners will give up on the Internet and forgo a second smartphone down the road.

It’s a delicate balance.

When Motorola Mobility introduced the low-cost Moto G smartphone last fall, the company emphasized how it was bringing the features of high-end smartphones to a device that starts at just $179. Even

then, it had to sacrifice camera resolution and connectivity to the faster 4G LTE cellular networks. And $179 is still expensive for many.

At the Barcelona show this week, Nokia Corp. unveiled the Nokia X series, starting at 89 euros ($122).

“In the growth market ... a couple of bucks make a huge difference,” said Timo Toikkanen, Nokia’s executive vice president for mobile phones.

Still too expensive? Try some of the $50 to $70 smartphones based on Firefox OS, a system adapted from the popular Firefox Web browser.

Mozilla, the organization behind Firefox, announced a partnership with Chinese chipmaker Spreadtrum Communications Inc. to create a blueprint for any phone maker to make $25 smartphones.

Microsoft Corp., meanwhile, said it was relaxing hardware requirements to keep phone costs down.

For instance, phones no longer need physical camera and control buttons.

Those can now be done through software instead.

It is also working with Qualcomm Inc. on blueprints for any phone maker to quickly design a Windows phone. While global brands such as Apple and Samsung reign in industrialized countries, smaller, regional manufacturers thrive in emerging markets because of lower distribution costs and better tailoring to local needs.

Internet services also see opportunities in finding the next few billions

in emerging markets.

In fact, getting the smartphone and the connectivity is just the beginning, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during Monday’s keynote.

More important, he said, is giving people a reason to connect: basic financial services, access to health care information and educational materials. He sees Facebook as the “on ramp” to all those services.

In many ways, emerging markets provide unmatched opportunities.

Apple has insisted on making premium smartphones.

Even last fall’s iPhone 5c was just $100 cheaper, at $549, than the moreadvanced iPhone 5s. That’s way beyond the reach of many people in poorer countries.

“They are focusing on the premium segment,” Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing told The Associated Press.

“Their market has become mature, saturated. So now, if you want to further grow, you must focus on those emerging markets, particular those poor people.”

He said Lenovo releases 40 or 50 smartphones a year to meet the diversity of needs in those markets.

Making cheap phones available will help companies expand in developed countries, too. Even in the U.S., not everyone wants or can afford a high-end smartphone, Sony Mobile President Kunimasa Suzuki said in an interview.

The Associated Press DETROIT – The Tesla Model S electric sedan is Consumer Reports’ top pick in this year’s automotive rankings.

The magazine cited the Model S’s sporty performance and technological innovations, including its 225-mile range. But it acknowledged that the car is expensive. Consumer Reports paid $89,650 for the Model S it tested.

For less than a third of that price, the Toyota Prius hybrid got the nod as Consumer Reports’ top green car.

The magazine also cited strong fuel economy in naming the Honda Accord as the top midsize car and the BMW328i as the best sports sedan.

The rankings, now in their 18th year, pick Consumer Reports’ favorites among the 260 vehicles its team has recently tested. The rankings are closely watched in the auto industry, since shoppers consistently cite Consumer Reports as a main source of car-buying advice.

Consumer Reports buys vehicles anonymously and performs more than 50 tests on them, including evaluations of braking, handling and comfort. The magazine’s testing team drives each vehicle for about 6,000 miles.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Veteran Beer Co. said Crystal Lake-based L&V Distributors Inc. has begun distributing its beer in McHenry County.

The partnership means local consumers will be able to buy Veteran Beer’s first two products, the Veteran, an amber lager, and Blonde Bomber, a blonde ale, according to a news release.

The company is veteranowned, and each of its employees served in the military.

“We feel like engaging L&V for McHenry County puts an essential piece of the puzzle in place for us in our home market,” Veteran Beer Regional Director Marc Blue said in a news release. “I live in this area in Wonder Lake, so I know all about our vibrant local social scene. Partnering with a respected distributor like L&V gives us immediate credibility with both retailers and consumers.”

L&V serves customers such as liquor stores, grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, taverns and other retail outlets.

“It’s an honor for us to add the Veteran Beer Co. to our already impeccable portfolio of brands,” L&V Distributors President Donald Lewis said in a news release. “The beer they’ve created is outstanding, and we fully embrace their mission of ending Veteran unemployment in one generation. This really is a perfect fit for our company.”

The Tesla Model S electric sedan is Consumer Reports’ top pick in this year’s automotive survey. government and insurance industry crash tests and get at least average reliability ratings from Consumer Reports’ subscribers, who are surveyed each year about problems they’re having with their vehicles.

The Model S, which went on sale in 2012, got the highest score ever recorded in Consumer Reports’ au-

tomotive testing last spring. But at the time, the magazine didn’t have enough data to rank its reliability.

Spokesman Doug Love said Tuesday the magazine now has enough data to give the Model S a “good” reliability rating. More than 600 Model S owners submitted responses in the magazine’s latest reliability survey.

NEW YORK – Macy’s Inc.’s fourth-quarter profit rose 11 percent, but the department store chain suffered a sales shortfall because a string of winter storms chilled business in January.

The results, released Tuesday, come on the heels of a solid but fiercely competitive holiday shopping season for the Cincinnati-based company, which also operates Bloomingdale’s stores. The chain has been a standout among its peers throughout the economic recovery as it has benefited from its moves to tailor merchandise to local markets.

But like other retailers, severe winter storms have caused Macy’s to close stores and kept shoppers at home. At one time during January, 244 Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s stores, or about 30 percent of the company’s total, were shut down because of the weather.

Richmond Spring Grove Chamber prepares for expo Have you and your family been stuck inside this winter far too much and for far too long?

If you are like most people, your answer is yes, and you have cabin fever.

In less than two weeks, the Richmond Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce will host its 21st annual Health, Home, Business and Craft Expo on March 8. Load your family and friends into the car and join us at Nippersink Middle School in

Admission is free, and we will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We have a full house and a wide variety of businesses participating along with many talented artists and crafters

Continued from page E1 But emerging markets also pose challenges unfamiliar in the industrialized world.

The easy one to solve is to support two SIM cards in the same phone. Pricing and plans vary so much in emerging markets that it’s common for people to use different carriers for different circumstances.

The Moto G, the Nokia X and Sony’s new Xperia M2 phone support that, and Microsoft will enable that in Windows Phone this spring.

More challenging is dealing with expensive data connections, something Zuckerberg posed as a bigger barrier than smartphone affordability.

Chris Weasler, whose role at Facebook is to improve access to Internet services around the world, said he has met many smartphone owners who forgo data services and use the devices instead as mobile computers and cameras.

Local wireless carriers will need to better educate their customers on the value of connectivity, he said, while app developers need to tweak their services to work on slower, less reliable networks. He said Facebook learned that when a team went to Africa and couldn’t use Facebook’s Android app because it pulled too much data.

Firefox phones have FM radio tuners built in so owners won’t waste data connection on streaming services, while another emerging system, Ubuntu, tries to make sure

Finalists will be interviewed at Good Shepherd Hospital, and recipients will be notified in early June. For information, call the Good Shepherd Hospital volunteer office at 847-3810123, ext. 26-5104.

Good Shepherd Auxiliary offers scholarships BARRINGTON – Students who live in the Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital service area who attend or will attend a college or university pursuing a degree in a health related field can apply for an Auxiliary of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital scholarship.

The organization has awarded nearly $600,000 in scholarships to 573 local students since 1979. The auxiliary budget designates scholarship money from its fundraising projects of Art in the Barn, Catchpenny Resale Shop and Pear Tree Gift Shop.

The Good Shepherd Hospital service area includes the following zip codes: 60010, 60012, 60013, 60014, 60021, 60042, 60047, 60050, 60051, 60060, 60067, 60073, 60084, 60098, 60102, 60110 and 60156.

The number of scholarships awarded is based on the numbers and qualifications of applicants. Current references, transcripts, and proof of acceptance from the institution and acceptance into a health care professional program are required. Applicants are evaluated on the basis of attitude and desire toward education, leadership, citizenship, personality and financial need.

Applications are available at www.advocatehealth.com/ gshp/scholarships. Applications must be postmarked or hand-delivered and filed with the Auxiliary Scholarship Committee no later than April 30.

To address the lack of credit cards in emerging markets, Nokia replaced Android’s card-based app store with one that permits billing directly to mobile operators.

Ultimately, companies need to figure out what to sacrifice to bring costs down.

Forget high-resolution video or a giant screen, such as the 5.1-inch display on the Samsung Galaxy S5 that was announced Monday. Not only are those features expensive, they require faster processors and longer battery life, adding to expenses.

Cellular connectivity through 4G is also something often dropped, as many emerging markets are lucky just to have the slower 3G. But what’s good enough?

Leo Li, CEO of Spreadtrum, said phones using his company’s blueprints work as good as Apple’s iPhone 4. But that’s a 4-year-old phone. Nonetheless, he said performance is better than the basic phones that first-timers are upgrading from.

By upgrading, people can truly access the Web and aren’t limited to the few services that phone makers already included.

“To spend a little more for a true Web experience is pretty good, even if the resolution isn’t as good as the iPhone,” said Jay Sullivan, Mozilla’s chief operating officer. “People want to be connected. They want to be online and have access to all the information and all the things we do, like maps, as they explore new places.”

Late-payment rate on auto loans rose in 4Q LOS ANGELES – U.S. car owners are carrying higher auto loan balances but still making timely monthly payments.

Auto loan debt per borrower grew 4.4 percent to $16,769 in the final quarter of 2013 from a year earlier – the 11th consecutive quarter to post an annual increase, according to data released Tuesday by credit reporting agency TransUnion.

Even so, the U.S. auto loan delinquency rate ended the last three months of last year at 1.14 percent, below the 1.3 percent average quarterly late-payment rate for every October-December quarter going back to 2007, the firm said.

The trend suggests borrowers with auto loans continue to keep up with payments, even as auto loan debt per borrower has grown steadily. It’s up 12 percent since the first quarter of 2011.

Stable fuel prices, low interest rates and the increased availability of credit helped propel U.S. new car and truck sales up 8 percent to 15.6 million last year. That was the industry’s best year since 2007 and the fourth year in a row sales increased by more than 1 million.

New auto loans tend to have higher balances early on, which

helps drive up auto loan debt.

Auto loan debt per borrower edged up in the fourth quarter by 0.5 percent from the previous three months. The increase was broad, with every state posting a bump in auto loan debt per borrower in the quarter, TransUnion said.

Consumer confidence dips slightly in February WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer confidence fell slightly in February over concerns about the near-term outlook for business conditions and jobs.

The Conference Board said Tuesday its confidence index dipped to 78.1 this month, down from 79.4 in January.

“Consumers believe the economy has improved, but they do not foresee it gaining considerable momentum in the months ahead,” said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at the Conference Board.

Consumer sentiment is closely watched for indications about how it will affect consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

Views about current conditions increased for the fourth consecutive month and now stand at the highest level in almost six years. But the index that tracks consumer expectations dipped slightly, pulling the overall reading down.

Amna Asaf, an economist at Capital Economics, said the small decline in February likely reflected the bad weather that

much of the country has had to endure this winter. She said it also could have been a delayed reaction to the tumble the stock market took in January.

But with the stock market now rebounding, she predicted confidence will rise as well.

JPMorgan Chase to cut 8,000 jobs this year JPMorgan Chase plans to eliminate a total of 8,000 jobs this year as its mortgage business shrinks and as the giant bank aims to control costs at its branches.

About half of those job cuts already have been announced.

JPMorgan Chase now plans to cut more jobs as it tries to reduce $2 billion in consumer banking expenses by the end of 2016.

The new job cuts announced Tuesday include reductions in the bank’s mortgage and retail banking businesses. The bank also cut 16,500 jobs last year in those areas.

The 8,000 job cuts this year are equivalent to about 3 percent of JPMorgan’s total workforce of 251,000. JPMorgan Chase & Co. also says it will add about 3,000 jobs in other areas this year.

For years, low interest rates caused a boom in mortgage refinancing. But interest rates began rising midway through last year, and now fewer Americans are refinancing.

JPMorgan and other big banks reported double-digit declines in their mortgage business at the end of last year.

Denis Waitley, a founding member of the National Council on Self-Esteem, said, “Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.”

That is true, but sometimes, at the bridge table, trying for an extra trick can prove very expensive. Still, occasionally a defender can dangle a tempting carrot that leaves declarer thinking he has a no-cost shot at an overtrick.

In this deal, South is in three no-trump, and West leads the heart 10. How might West tempt declarer into an indiscretion?

South should open one notrump. Yes, the club holding of two honors doubleton is a minus, but the ive-card suit is a compensating plus.

Declarer starts with seven top tricks: three hearts (given the opening lead), one diamond and three clubs. Obviously, he will attack clubs.

However, West can set a nasty trap for South.

Declarer takes the irst trick in his hand and cashes the club king. West should

play his ive. Then, when South continues with the club queen, West should drop his eight. He is trying to make it look as though he started with J-8-5 and East with the 6-4-doubleton (and was starting a high-low with his six).

If declarer falls for the ruse, he will win the third trick with his queen and suddenly ind that he cannot make the contract. Instead, South must overtake his club queen with dummy’s ace and continue with the club 10 to drive out West’s jack. Then declarer gets at least three hearts, one diamond and ive clubs.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Concentrate your abilities on working toward a personal goal. Make good use of all the resources available to you, and don’t allow the pessimistic attitudes of others to dissuade you. Be on the alert for opportunities, and take full advantage of them when they appear.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be businesslike in your dealings. Someone may be overly interested in your personal life. Keep them guessing about your private matters, and be careful not to reveal too much.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Preparation and organization will be key today. Someone may not be forthright regarding a touchy situation. If you wait until the last minute, you risk becoming overwhelmed by the issues at hand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make plans to have fun with friends, or arrange an outing with your lover.

Deal with your responsibilities in advance so that no one will find fault with your actions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your clever ideas and innovative solutions will lead to a moneymaking venture.

Determine exactly what you want to achieve and then work hard in service of your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It’s a good day to review paperwork and financial records. Make changes to improve your savings and investments. Reward yourself by spending a romantic evening with someone you love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are in a romantic mood today. Don’t get carried away and offer untrue or frivolous declarations of your feelings. Your relationship will only be strengthened by your honesty and devotion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s time for a little pampering. You may decide to lift your spirits by getting together with your special someone, or perhaps even treating yourself to a new look or outfit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It is not necessary to seek approval from others for all of your plans. You can gain a new perspective and improve your outlook by exploring new locations or experiences for yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Trying to please others will only cause you frustration. Although people may have your best interests at heart, focusing on your own goals will keep you on the sure path to success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- With determination and self-discipline, one of your many hobbies could prove profitable. A close look at your various interests may reveal the opportunity for financial gain that you have been seeking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Following your intuition will lead to inspiration. However, persistence, determination and dedication will be the necessary ingredients for positive results. Avoid negativity and doubt -- they will only interfere with your dreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Changes are on the horizon. Make the effort to expand your knowledge and insights by joining a club, class or other activity that is interesting to you. New circumstances will also provide new friendships.
