Randall plan gets OK

‘Downzoning’ on table for distressed housing At issue “Downzoning” would allow Woodstock to force owners of multifamily dwellings to change their houses to single-family during an “amortization” period, if proactive approaches do not work on distressed properties.

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The city wants to create incentives for the repair of eyesore properties, and hasn’t ruled out a more extreme measure that would force multifamily dwellings into single-family houses.

The sentiments were shared by City Council members at Tuesday night’s meeting during a discussion on distressed housing.

The issue – originally brought up this summer by Councilman Mike Turner at a council retreat – stems from complaints from residents about single houses that have fallen into disrepair among neighborhoods of well-maintained homes.

Such houses tend to be multifamily dwellings, as their owners sometimes face economic challenges or view the properties simply as moneymakers.

Turner said Tuesday he’d like to see the city incentivize repairs as a part of a “proactive” approach to the issue. He brought up a neighborhood in town where a bank-owned, $60,000 multifamily dwelling sits among rows of higher level single-family homes.

“Whether it’s a city program that says, ‘You know what, you take that $60,000 house, convert it to single-family housing, put $60,000 into it. ... We have a program where we give you $10,000 or $20,000

Traffic is backed up Sunday near the intersection of Randall and Algonquin roads in Lake in the Hills. The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday on several measures to spend up to $16 million to prepare for the Randall Road widening and improvement project, which will widen a 3.5-mile stretch of the congested shopping corridor to six lanes from its start at Ackman Road south to the Kane County line and add more turn lanes.

County approves $15.9M for project’s design phase

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board approved up to $15.9 million for the design phase of the Randall Road widening project, over the objections of opponents who allege the fix is in for a controversial continuous-flow

intersection opposed by Lake in the Hills.

In three separate votes early Tuesday afternoon, the County Board granted a $9.1 million contract to TranSystems to design the project, a $1.75 million contract to Mathewson Right of Way Co. to obtain the needed land and $5 million with which to buy it. The funds mostly

come from the county and state motor fuel tax, with some coming from the sales tax paid to fund the Regional Transportation Authority.

The votes came after a presentation by the McHenry County Division of Transportation and almost 90 minutes of sometimes contentious debate about the scope of the project, and the “elephant in the room” of the continuous-flow intersection, as Algonquin Village President John Schmitt called it.

The project, which the DOT’s latest five-year highway improvement plan prices at

$115 million, will widen a 3.5mile stretch of the congested shopping corridor to six lanes from its start at Ackman Road south to the Kane County line, and add dual left-turn lanes and exclusive right-turn lanes at major signal intersections.

A controversial option would turn Randall Road at Algonquin Road into a continuous-flow intersection, requiring two more sets of lights to start left-turning vehicles several hundred feet before the main intersection.

Senate sends farm bill to Obama to sign Measure includes aid to farmers and cut to food stamps

By MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The sweeping farm bill that Congress sent to President Obama Tuesday has something for almost everyone, from the nation’s 47 million food stamp recipients to Southern peanut growers, Midwest corn

farmers and the maple syrup industry in the Northeast.

After years of setbacks, the Senate on Tuesday sent the nearly $100 billion-a-year measure to President Barack Obama.

The White House said the president will sign the bill on Friday in Michigan, the home state of Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow.

The Senate passed the bill 6832 after House passage last week.

Olympics bring joy to fan of ‘obscure’ sports People seem to fall into two camps when it comes to the Olympics: those who are indifferent and those who just can’t get enough.

Put me into the second category.

Every couple of years, the sports nerd in me looks forward to a fortnight of athletics from the familiar to the obscure.

So I’m more than a bit excited about the start of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, this week.

Coverage begins Thursday, with the Opening Ceremony set to be televised Friday night.

As far back as I can remember, I’ve been glued to TV coverage of the games. Back then, I was far more interested in Dorothy Hamill (1976) and figure skating than I was in “The Miracle on Ice” (1980).

These days, I’m more likely to tell you the names of all the Chicago Blackhawks on each country’s Olympic hockey team than I am to know

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver whom the U.S. is sending in men’s figure skating.

For the record, it’s Jeremy Abbott and Jason Brown.

Then again, Brown’s hometown is Highland Park, so the tie to the Chicago area has me paying more attention than I would otherwise.

Who am I kidding? I love the Olympics, so for the next couple of weeks, I’ll probably be able to spout all sorts of trivia that will make members of the non-Olympics-loving camp roll their eyes.

For instance, the new events to the games this year are women’s ski jumping, ski half-pipe, ski slopestyle, figure skating mixed team, biathlon mixed relay, luge mixed team, snow-

board parallel slalom and snowboard slopestyle.

Then there are the more traditional, albeit “obscure,” sports, such as biathlon, which combines cross-country skiing and precision shooting. It might be a strange combination, but it requires a unique skill set few can master.

For those who don’t like shooting, there’s always Nordic combined, which requires participants to not only be good at cross-country skiing, but also ski jumping.

A lot of people look forward to watching curling, which just might be the strangest looking competition of the games. As I recall, those matches always drew a crowd around the newsroom TVs. I also have to admit that I look forward to the tricks Shaun White will attempt as he competes for his third straight Olympic gold in halfpipe and a gold in the new snowboard

slopestyle.

And if that weren’t enough, there’s always the rush of watching the alpine skiing, where skiers hurl themselves down slopes at breakneck speeds, and skeleton, where competitors slide down the track on sleds with their faces inches from the icy surface. Or there’s luge and bobsled.

So many sports. So little time.

For me, it’s not about the pomp and pageantry or patriotism; it’s about the joy of sports. And maybe a little about mocking the awful announcing. There’s always a bit of that, too.

So let the games begin.

I’m ready.

Army looking into widespread recruiting fraud

By HENRY C. JACKSON The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Hundreds of soldiers and others are under criminal investigation in what the military describes as a widespread scheme to take fraudulent payments and kickbacks from a National Guard recruiting program.

The fraud cost the U.S. at least $29 million and possibly tens of millions dollars more, officials said Tuesday.

Two army generals revealed to a Senate panel on Tuesday new details of an ongoing investigation into a recruiting program put in place

Buy or Refi...

Nancy Howley

in 2005 to boost flagging enlistment during a crucial period of the Iraq War. As many as 200 officers, including two generals, are suspected of participating in schemes to take advantage of a referral program that paid out cash bonuses ranging from $2,000 to $7,500 per recruit.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., called the investigation “one of the largest that the Army has ever conducted, both in terms of the sheer volume of fraud and the number of participants.”

“These are criminals that have dishonored the uniform we are all so proud of,” she

said at a hearing by the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on financial and contracting oversight, which she leads.

Lt. Gen. William T. Grisoli, director of Army Staff, said there was a “fundamental breakdown” in establishing and executing the program.

Officials said Tuesday they may not complete the investigation until as late as 2016 because of the number of potential cases. Army criminal investigators are examining more than 1,200 people, a mix of civilians with military ties and men and women in uniform. At least 60 investigators

are working full time on it.

The Army National Guard created the Recruiting Assistance Program in 2005 to boost enlistment at a time when wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had left the military below recruitment goals, officials said Tuesday. It offered cash bonuses to civilian recruiting assistants for referrals.

Uniformed recruiters were supposedly prohibited from receiving the cash payments.

But investigators have since found they worked around that prohibition by any number of means, and for several years did so virtually undetected.

GOP Ill. gov. candidates debate taxes, spending

By SARA BURNETT The Associate Press NAPERVILLE, Ill. – The four Republicans running for Illinois governor agreed Tuesday the state needs to cut spending and change its tax structure, but differed on how best to do so, with all but one saying they’d consider a new tax on such services as haircuts and landscaping if it meant lowering tax rates overall.

S t a t e Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, businessman Bruce Rauner and Treasurer Dan Rutherford faced off in a debate that focused heavily on Illinois’ struggling economy and how to improve its business climate.

All four candidates said they support allowing a temporary income tax increase approved in 2011 to roll back as scheduled on Jan. 1 – a move they say will make the state friendlier to business and provide much-needed relief to residents. The rollback, which is likely to be the subject of heated debate in the Legislature this year, is expected to reduce state revenue by about $1.6 billion next fiscal year, state officials said Tuesday.

Rutherford, however, repeated his position that scaling back the tax hike may not be immediately possible because he can’t anticipate what kind of budget situation he’ll inherit if he becomes governor. But the former legislator from Chenoa said he would work with the Democrat-controlled General Assembly to reach consensus on how to reduce spending.

“A governor is not king of the forest,” Rutherford said during the Naperville forum, which was sponsored by the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association and the Valley Industrial Association. “You cannot go in and command it to be done.”

The other candidates offered more specifics about where they’d like to make budget cuts.

Brady, who won the 2010 GOP nomination but lost to Gov. Pat Quinn in the general election, noted he supported legislation last year to cut public-employee pensions and eliminate the state’s $100 billion unfunded liability. He says that measure – which is being challenged in court by labor unions and retired state employees – could save Illinois $1.3 billion in the first year if it’s allowed to take effect.

Rauner, a businessman from Winnetka making his first bid for public office, said he supports replacing public-worker pensions with a 401(k)-style, defined contribution plan he says would create “dramatic savings” within three years. He also said the state should take a tougher stance on rooting out Medicaid fraud, calling the insurance program for the poor and disabled “broken and corrupt and out of control.”

Released report spotlights Chicago clout

By MICHAEL TARM The Associate Press CHICAGO (AP) – A special prosecutor released a report Tuesday that concluded there is no evidence then-Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley or his family members sought to impede an investigation into the 2004 death of a man punched

by Daley’s nephew. Lawyers for the victim’s family, however, say the report demonstrates clout did play a role.

Fueled by stories over several years by the Chicago Sun-Times, investigations into the death of David Koschman raised pointed questions about whether justice was distorted for the sake of the powerful Daley family, whose influence has extended from City Hall to the White House.

The long-awaited, 162page report suggests that authorities, at best, badly handled the investigation at key stages, including by continually asserting that Daley’s nephew had acted in self-defense when much of the witness testimony contradicted that claim.

However, “there was no evidence that former Mayor Daley, his family, or others at their direction engaged in conduct to influence or attempted to influence”

Richard Vanecko, right, a nephew of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, arrives at court in Chicago for his arraignment on involuntary manslaughter charges. On Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2014, special prosecutor Dan Webb released a report concluding there is no evidence the former mayor or other family members sought to influence an investigation into the 2004 death of a man punched

by Vanecko. Vanecko pleaded guilty Friday, Jan 31. to involuntary manslaughter, leading a judge to unseal the report. the investigations, said a statement released with the report by the special prosecutor, former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb.

Still, it details the alarm of some police investigators as it dawned on them that Richard J. Vanecko, the son of Daley’s sister, Mary, was a figure in the early morning, street-side attack after

he’d been out drinking in Chicago. It cites one officer as saying, “Holy crap, maybe the mayor’s nephew is involved.”

Speaking to reporters after the report’s release, attorneys for Koschman’s family said investigators didn’t need to be explicitly instructed to protect a member of the Daley family.

Richard M. Daley served a record 22 years as Chicago’s mayor before leaving office in 2011. His father, Richard J. Daley had served 21 years before dying in office in 1976.

One of Richard M. Daley’s brothers, Bill Daley, served briefly as President Barack Obama’s chief of staff.

8STATE BRIEFS Drop in Illinois revenue predicted next year SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Illinois is expected to see a $1.58 billion drop in revenue if the state’s income tax increase rolls back as planned.

Officials from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability told lawmakers Tuesday the preliminary revenue forecast for the next fiscal year will be $34.4 billion. That’s down from $36 billion this year.

The drop in revenue reflects an expected decrease in the state’s income tax. The temporary hike is scheduled to drop from its current 5 percent to 3.75 percent next January. Some Democrats want the tax increase extended but many Republicans oppose it.

Gov. Pat Quinn plans to give his budget address in March.

The event serves as the official opening of negotiations on the state budget, which lawmakers are tasked with passing before adjourning for the year.

Bears, eagles, wolves: How endangered animals fare posed removing the predator from the endangered list across the United States, except for a small population of wolves in the Southwest.

Yet despite the rebound, environmentalists point out the drop in wolf numbers in the Northern Rockies after Congress lifted federal protections there in 2011. Since then, wolf population numbers have declined 7 percent because of new hunting and trapping seasons in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

By JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. – The U.S. government has spent billions of dollars trying to save more than 1,500 animal and plant species listed as endangered or threatened.

A group of House Republicans say that’s translated into just 2 percent of protected species taken off the list. They called Tuesday for an overhaul to the 1973 Endangered Species Act, giving states more authority over imperiled species and limiting litigation from wildlife advocates.

Environmentalists credit the act with saving species from extinction and say that hundreds more are on the path to recovery. The Endangered Species Act enjoys fervent support among many environmentalists, whose Democratic allies on Capitol Hill have thwarted past proposals for change.

Here’s a look at five species and how they’ve fared since being added to the list:

A grizzly bear roams his pen at Denver Zoo. In forty years, the U.S. government has spent billions of dollars trying to save some 1,500 species deemed endangered. House Republicans say that’s translated into just 2 percent of protected species being recovered, and they want to overhaul the Endangered Species Act. Environmentalists and many Democrats credit the act with saving species from extinction.

1. GRIZZLY BEAR Grizzlies were listed as threatened in the lower 48 states in 1975 after being nearly wiped out over their historical range. But the bruins have been coming back, particularly in and around Yellowstone National Park, where they number more than 700. They’re doing so well, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering removing federal pro-

tections for the Yellowstone grizzlies in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. But some scientists warn against it, saying climate change has devastated the whitebark pine trees that provide a key food source for the bears.

Another 1,000 grizzlies live outside of the Yellowstone area, while 30,000 of the bears in Alaska have never been listed as threatened.

2. GRAY WOLF More than 6,000 gray wolves roam the Lower 48 states after they were wiped out in the Northern Rockies and only a small population was left in the Great Lakes by the mid-1990s. The federal government spent more than $100 million on wolf recovery, and the Fish and Wildlife Service has pro-

The northern spotted owl was listed as threatened in 1990 because of loss of old growth forest habitat to logging. Lawsuits led to establishment of millions of acres of reserves on national forests to protect not just the owl’s habitat, but that of threatened salmon and a host of other species. Despite the logging cutbacks, the owl has continued to decline by about 3 percent a year.

Scientists have now identified the top threat to its survival as the invasion of the barred owl, a more aggressive and adaptable cousin that migrated across Canada from the East Coast and is driving spotted owls out of their territories. Last year, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began an experiment to remove up to 3,600 invasive barred owls from Oregon, Washington and Northern California to see if that will provide enough

save havens to reverse the decline.

4. BALD EAGLE The official symbol of the United States nearly became extinct through hunting and the widespread use of the pesticide DDT. In 1963, there were just 417 of the birds documented in the nation.

More than $574 million was spent on the eagle’s recovery through 2007, the year its numbers reached about 10,000 mating pairs in the Lower 48 states and it was taken off the list.

It is illegal to kill a bald eagle under a 1940 law passed by Congress. The Fish and Wildlife Service says the bald eagle is now known or believed to be in all Lower 48 states, along with Alaska, where it was never considered threatened.

5. CARIBBEAN MONK SEAL In contrast with success stories like the bald eagle, some species protected through the act go extinct anyway. The Caribbean monk seal, which once swam the waters off Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, was taken off the endangered species list in 2008 due to extinction. The only subtropical seal native to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico once numbered more than 250,000, but overhunting left the population unstable. The last confirmed sighting was in 1952.

Crude bomb kills 11 near mosque Activists: Syrian regime’s attack leaves 5 kids dead

By DIAA HADID The Associated Press BEIRUT – Men pull a girl from the rubble and haul her onto a dirty sheet of plastic, while another child, coated in white dust save for a red streak of blood from his nose, lies with his crushed leg dangling off a gurney – the grisly aftermath from the dropping of a crude “barrel bomb” by Syrian forces on the city of Aleppo.

The bombing – one of at least seven such attacks in Aleppo on Tuesday – struck a mosque that was being used as a school, killing at least 11 people, activists said. A video supplied by activists contained scenes of the carnage.

It was the latest example of the heightened use of barrel bombs, devices packed with fuel, explosives and scrap metal that are hurled from helicopters, often indiscriminately.

Since Thursday, around 80 people have been killed by barrel bombs used by Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces to try to dislodge rebels from Aleppo, according to figures provided by the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists on the ground.

The video uploaded from the rebel-held Masaken Hanano district showed the aftermath of the explosion at or near the Uthman Bin Affan mosque, where adults were teaching children the Quran, said activist Hassoun Abu Faisal of the Aleppo Media Center.

The video was consistent

with what reporting by The Associated Press found.

A cameraman films from inside a vehicle as it speeds toward a place where dust is drifting into a clear blue sky.

The camera swivels to men and boys running around a building that has been torn in half by an explosion.

“Are there martyrs?” the narrator asks. His camera focuses on a lump of red flesh in a vehicle. It is the beginning of a grim litany of death, as seen from the jerking camera.

A child, his legs missing, lies on the ground, partially covered by a blanket.

“Are there anybody’s children here?” cries one man.

“Bashar, you lowlife!” cries another, referring to the Syrian ruler, raising his hands angrily to the sky. Another man shakes a blackened body inside a vehicle.

A man carries a lifeless boy, lifting him partly by his clothes, and leaves him on the sidewalk near two other mangled corpses. An older man with a bloodied face stumbles toward the child, weeping, “Oh, God, your grace, oh, God.” The cameraman also captures scenes of the boy with the crushed leg and the girl pulled from the ruins.

The Observatory said at least five of the dead in Masaken Hanano were children.

The use of barrel bombs across Syria has been widely condemned by human rights groups because of the weapons’ indiscriminate nature.

They have been a key part of a government strategy to wrest back parts of Aleppo seized by rebels in mid-2012.

Far from the battlegrounds in Syria, Assad’s chief ally, Russia, expressed confidence that the government would return to the U.N.-hosted peace talks in Geneva that began in January.

Action urged to prevent ‘catastrophe’ in CAR UNITED NATIONS – The head of the U.N. children’s agency urged the international community Tuesday to do everything it can to prevent the “human tragedy” in Central African Republic from turning into “a human catastrophe.”

Anthony Lake made the appeal as the U.N. World Food Program announced there are only food supplies for a week available in the capital, Bangui, and the U.N. humanitarian office said it has received only $60 million of the $551 million it appealed for to help hundreds of thousands in need in the country.

Central African Republic has been in chaos since a March 2013 coup. More than 1,000 people have been killed and nearly 1 million forced from their homes since December in violence pitting Christians and Muslims, militias and civilians.

The violence has increasingly targeted civilians of Muslim origin.

Vatican polls: Catholics reject many sex rules VATICAN CITY – New surveys commissioned by the Vatican show that the vast majority of Catholics in Germany and Switzerland reject church teaching on contraception, sexual morality, gay unions and divorce, findings remarkable both in their similarity and in the fact that they were even publicized.

The Vatican took the unusual step of commissioning the surveys ahead of a major meeting of bishops that Pope Francis has called for October to discuss family issues. The poll was sent last year to every national conference of bishops with a request to share it widely among Catholic institutions, parishes and individuals.

This week, German and Swiss bishops reported the results: The church’s core teachings on sexual morals, birth control, homosexuality, marriage and divorce were rejected as unrealistic and outdated by the vast majority of Catholics, who nevertheless said they were active in parish life and considered their faith vitally important.

Libya says its chemical weapons are destroyed TRIPOLI, Libya – Libya’s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday the country’s caches of chemical weapons, including bombs and artillery shells filled with mustard gas, have been completely destroyed.

“Libya is totally empty of any presence of chemical weapons ... which could pose a threat to the safety of people, the environment, or neighboring regions,” Mohammed AbdelAziz said in remarks carried by Libya’s state news agency.

The eradication of the weapons, which date from the era of slain dictator Moammar

Gadhafi, marks an important success for Libya, even as Syria, its neighbor in the eastern Mediterranean, is struggling to destroy its own chemical weapons hoard amid a civil war.

Report: NSA spied on Merkel’s predecessor BERLIN – German media are reporting that U.S. intelligence began spying on current Chancellor Angela Merkel’s predecessor in 2002 because of his opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Previous reports based on documents provided to German media by NSA leaker Edward Snowden indicated that Merkel’s cellphone was targeted. She took office in 2005.

Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung and public broadcaster NDR reported Tuesday that Merkel’s predecessor Gerhard Schroeder was added to the NSA’s National Sigint Requirement List as number 388 in 2002.

Regional incentives helped bill’s chances in House • FARM BILL Continued from page A1 bipartisan coalition of farmstate lawmakers pushed to get the bill done.

The White House has been mostly quiet as Congress worked out its differences on the bill. But in a statement after the vote, Obama said the bill would reduce the deficit “without gutting the vital assistance programs millions of hardworking Americans count on to help put food on the table for their families.”

He said the farm bill isn’t perfect, “but on the whole, it will make a positive difference not only for the rural economies that grow Ameri-

ca’s food, but for our nation.”

Obama praised the bill for getting rid of controversial subsidies known as direct payments, which are paid to farmers whether they farm or not. Most of that program’s $4.5 billion annual cost was redirected into new, more politically defensible subsidies that would kick in when a farmer has losses.

To gather votes for the bill, Stabenow and her House counterpart, Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., included a major boost for crop insurance popular in the Midwest, higher subsidies for Southern rice and peanut farmers and land payments for Western states. The bill also sets policy for hundreds of smaller

programs, subsidies, loans and grants – from research on wool to loans for honey producers to protections for the catfish industry. The bill would provide assistance for rural Internet services and boost organic agriculture.

Stabenow said the bill is also intended to help consumers, boosting farmers markets and encouraging local food production.

“We worked long and hard to make sure that policies worked for every region of the country, for all of the different kinds of agricultural production we do in our country,” she said.

The regional incentives scattered throughout the bill helped it pass easily in

the House last week, 251-166.

House leaders who had objected to the legislation since 2011 softened their disapproval as they sought to put the long-stalled bill behind them. Leaders in both parties also have hoped to bolster rural candidates in this year’s midterm elections.

Conservatives remained unhappy with the bill.

“It’s mind-boggling, the sum of money that’s spent on farm subsidies, duplicative nutrition and development assistance programs, and special interest pet projects,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. “How are we supposed to restore the confidence of the American people with this monstrosity?”

CFI decision not final How they voted

• RANDALL Continued from page A1 Schmitt before the debate implored board members not to let the undecided status of the continuous-flow intersection hold up what he called much-needed capacity improvements. He said that business owners have told him they will consider moving over the next decade if the congestion problem is not solved.

“Please allow the process to continue ... we need Randall Road to continue to function,” Schmitt said.

Seven County Board members voted against all three resolutions. Opposition was led by the five-member bloc that traditionally votes against large spending packages: Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock, and Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard. They were joined by members Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, and Michele Aavang, R-Woodstock.

Kurtz and Barnes said they suspect the continuous-flow intersection, despite being officially undecided, is a foregone conclusion the way the contracts are written. Lake in the Hills, which is on the north side of the intersection, opposes the idea, alleging that a continuous-flow intersection will strangle its businesses on the Randall Road corridor, which accounts for at least 75 percent of its sales tax revenue. Algonquin, on the south side, has not taken a position, although its trustees are publicly split on the concept.

While the decision on whether to go with a continuous-flow intersection is not final, it was announced in November that $10.6 million in federal funding, or about 80 percent of the cost, has been pledged if a continuous-flow intersection is built.

“Nobody can show me anywhere in the contract that the other plans will be developed and pursued,” Barnes said.

Kurtz also took aim at $1.1 million set aside in the design contract for public outreach and made an unsuccessful attempt to have it removed.

She called the expense unnecessary in a world of Internet and social media and said she suspected it will be used to push for a continuous-flow intersection and “undermine the municipalities.”

But board members who eventually won the day Tuesday, like Transportation Committee Chairwoman Anna May Miller, R-Cary, echoed Schmitt’s plea to move the entire project forward and not get hung up on the proposed continuous-flow intersection.

“It’s a regional problem.

The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday afternoon to spend up to $15.9 million to design the Randall Road widening project and set aside the funds to buy the needed land.

In three votes, board members approved a $9.1 million design contract, a $1.75 million right-of-way contract and $5 million to fund the land purchases.

Voting no all three times were members Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard, John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock, Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, Michele Aavang, R-Woodstock, and Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary.

Ken Koehler, R-Crystal Lake, abstained from voting on the right-of-way contract because his son works for the company. Mary McClellan, R-Holiday Hills, who attended the meeting by telephone, only voted for the design contract and missed the two subsequent votes.

Absent Tuesday were James Heisler, R-Crystal Lake, Sandra Fay Salgado, R-McHenry, and Sue Draffkorn, R-Wonder Lake.

It’s not just Lake in the Hills, it’s not just Algonquin,” Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, said.

Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock, opposed the project on the more general principle of having to spend taxpayer money to improve a road that county and municipal governments lined with sprawl and curb cuts.

“It’s a textbook history of how not to build a community and how not to build a road,” Schuster said.

Schuster also took a shot at the campaign contributions that the two companies receiving bids have doled out over the years to County Board members.

Schaumburg-based TranSystems since 2010 has contributed $750 to the campaign coffers of Miller and her husband, Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Robert Miller, and since 2007 has donated $2,050 to the campaigns of member and former board chairman Ken Koehler, R-Crystal Lake, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records.

Chicago-based Mathewson has been more generous.

Since 2007, it has contributed $8,550 to Koehler, and since 2010 has given $2,000 to the Millers’ campaign chest. In 2013, it also donated $250 each to Gottemoller and County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, and $500 to board member and county clerk candidate Nick Provenzano.

Koehler abstained from the Mathewson contract vote because his son, Kris, works for the company.

JPMorgan Chase to pay $614M over lending NEW YORK – The nation’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co., will pay $614 million and improve mortgage lending practices under a deal announced Tuesday to settle claims it approved thousands of unqualified home mortgage loans for government insurance and refinancing since 2002, costing the government millions of dollars when the loans defaulted.

U.S. District Judge J. Paul

Wednesday, February 5, 2014 • Page A5

Oetken in Manhattan approved the deal, which calls for JPMorgan to pay the money within a month and install an improved quality control program to review loans it underwrites using federally maintained software that determines if a loan qualifies for government insurance.

In November, JPMorgan agreed to pay $13 billion to settle a civil inquiry into its sales of low-quality mortgage-backed securities that collapsed in value in the 2008 financial crisis.

Bin Laden relative seeks interview for N.Y. trial NEW YORK – Lawyers for Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law and former spokesman asked a judge Tuesday to let them interview accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed prior to a terrorism trial scheduled to begin this month.

The lawyers for Sulaiman Abu Ghaith filed papers with U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in New York saying that Mohammed was “the most qualified person alive” to

tell them whether Abu Ghaith knew of any al-Qaida terrorist operations or was part of any conspiracy to kill Americans.

Abu Ghaith is set for trial this month on charges that he conspired to kill Americans in his role as al-Qaida’s spokesman after the Sept. 11 attacks.

He has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face life in prison. James Margolin, a prosecutor’s spokesman, declined to comment on the defense request.

He also suggested the city could waive part or all of building permit fees if the property were knocked down and rebuilt.

Councilman Mike Saladin said he’d like to see the city pursue grants and neighborhood partnerships to further assist and encourage property maintenance.

The council also didn’t rule

out a process called “downzoning,” which would allow the city to force owners of multifamily dwellings to change their houses to single-family during a to-be-determined “amortization” period.

But the city would likely have to compensate such homeowners, and could face legal battles.

“I think it’s something that we have to look at,” Saladin said. “I think we need staff to give us a better idea of – is it isolated? One house here and one house there? Is it a block? I don’t know all of those areas.”

Madigan plan is a good start Take a deep breath: We support a proposal put forth by Speaker of the House Michael Madigan.

Last week, Madigan proposed cutting the state’s corporate income tax in half as a way to improve Illinois’ business climate.

The legislation would cut the rate from 7 percent to 3.5 percent effective Jan. 1, 2014.

Businesses also pay a 2.5 percent personalproperty replacement tax. So For the record under Madigan’s proposal, the Something’s got to give if total corporate Illinois hopes to be remotely tax would be 6 competitive in keeping jobs percent. here and attracting new ones.

It’s no secret that Illinois is an unfriendly state for businesses. It has the fourth-highest corporate tax rate in the world. It has the fourth-highest workers’ compensation costs in the U.S. It has the country’s second-highest property taxes. In part because of this, Moody’s Analytics projects that Illinois will be dead last of the 50 states in job growth this year.

That’s No. 50 in a 50-horse race.

Something’s got to give if Illinois hopes to be remotely competitive in keeping jobs here and attracting new ones.

That’s why we support Madigan’s proposal.

We also agree, however, with state Rep. David McSweeney when he says that the speaker’s legislation should be just the start.

“I strongly support Speaker Madigan’s legislation that would cut the all-in corporate income tax rate from 9 percent to 6 percent,” McSweeney emailed The Northwest Herald. “I also support cutting individual tax rates so that small businesses and families can benefit. Cutting tax rates will help encourage much-needed economic growth and job creation.”

In 2011, the General Assembly increased the personal income taxes paid by this state’s workforce by 67 percent, from 3 percent of each individual’s gross salary to 5 percent. The majority of that new revenue was to be used to pay down the state’s debt. Sadly, that hasn’t happened. Illinois ended 2013 with more than $7 billion in unpaid bills. Instead, the additional revenue has gone almost exclusively to pensions.

The income tax increase was supposed to begin sunsetting at the end of this year, and fully return to 3 percent by the end of 2015. But because Illinois continues to spend more than it takes in, top lawmakers behind the scenes are talking about either making the income tax increase permanent or switching to a graduated income tax, in which higher earners pay a larger percentage. Both scenarios would be a disaster for Illinois.

Illinois’ leaders need to understand they can’t continue to tax more and spend more if we are to prosper.

Plenty of work to do Pat Quinn’s view of the state is much rosier than ours.

We expected the governor to be optimistic about the direction Illinois is going. He’s a glass-half-full kind of guy – plus he’s running for re-election.

Quinn said “Illinois is making a comeback” during his State of the State speech and pushed for spending more on early childhood education, increasing the minimum wage, doubling the earned income tax credit and other initiatives.

In our view, the recovery has a long way to go. Here are what we consider Illinois’ Seven Deadly Sins: Pension debt. Illinois’ pension liability is the worst in the nation. Legislation passed last year was supposed to save the state $160 billion over 30 years, which would be good news if it were to happen. The savings number has been downgraded to $145 billion, a good number, but once you start whittling away, you have to wonder whether the reforms are enough.

Unemployment. Illinois’ jobless rate is 8.6 percent, the third-highest in the nation – and that’s an improvement.

Bill backlog. The state owed vendors $4,952,831,711.68 as of last week, which is deceptively low. The number doesn’t include bills that haven’t been submitted.

Infrastructure. If Illinois doesn’t invest more in its roads and bridges, the Transportation for Illinois Coalition said, 1 of every 3 miles of roads and 1 in every 10 bridges will be in unacceptable condition by 2018.

Taxes. There already have been moves to make Illinois’ “temporary” individual tax increase permanent or replace it with a graduated income tax.

Credit rating. Another worst in the nation.

A poor credit rating means the state pays higher interest on bonds.

Exodus. More people are leaving Illinois than moving in, according to Allied Van Lines, United Van Lines and Atlas Van Lines.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Early American values, part 3 To the Editor: The early American values discussed so far in this dissertation have continued to be adhered to during the growth of America.

A fairly recent demonstration of American values is the WWII flight of the Doolittle Raiders in 1942. There were 80 airmen led by Jimmy Doolittle asked to perform a task never done before. The task was to take heavily loaded bomber planes off from the deck of an aircraft carrier and bomb Tokyo.

The 80 airmen were told they would not have enough fuel to reach a safe landing field after dropping their bombs on Tokyo. Every one of the men asked to make this attack accepted the assignment. After successfully bombing Tokyo some bailed out, some crash-landed in friendly territory.

I believe there were six men lost.

Another example of the American values that allowed America to become the greatest nation the

world has ever known.

During WWII Winston Churchill said, “This is England’s finest hour.” I think we can also say the same about America.

One last testimony of America’s values. I know of no other wars in which there were no spoils exacted by the victor. America instead restocked Germany with food, medicine and, for farmers, grain seed and pregnant female livestock.

There were huge amounts owed America by her allies for arms and munitions which allowed them to win the war. Most of which was never repaid.

Next month, see the consequences of leaving early American values.

Retreating on illegal immigration for wrong reasons At a time when Republicans have Democrats playing defense on Obamacare, jobs and the economy, the GOP is inexplicably ceding political ground to the Democrats on an issue that only can provide more votes for that party and possibly lead to a permanent Democratic majority.

Meeting in Cambridge, Md., last weekend for what they called – with no little irony – a “retreat,” Republican leaders signaled they are open to considering some sort of legal status for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants who have overstayed their visas or violated American law to get here.

But exactly who are the illegals? According to a study conducted by the Urban Institute, “Mexicans make up over half of illegal immigrants – 57 percent of the total, or about 5.3 million.

Another 2.2 million (23 percent) are from other Latin American countries. About 10 percent are from Asia, 5 percent from Europe and Canada, and 5 percent from the rest of the world.”

Republicans have convinced themselves that Hispanics are a “natural” constituency for their party because they are hard workers, religious and familyoriented. Statistics from the Pew Research Center suggest the opposite might be true.

According to Pew, 53 percent of babies born to Hispanic im-

VIEWS Cal Thomas migrants are to single mothers, about twice the rate of whites. As for Republican “family values,” Pew found a majority of Hispanics, 53 percent, support same-sex marriage. As a great many illegal immigrants are poor, their strain on the welfare, health care and education systems is considerable.

In a recent column, Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative political analyst, cited an American National Election Study that asked Hispanics their views about the free market versus big government solutions to problems. Schlafly noted, “Only 17.9 percent of Hispanics responded ‘the less government the better,’ and 85.3 percent said ‘a strong government involvement is required to handle economic problems.’”

This is not the profile of a future Republican voter.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) said illegal immigrants now make up 3.5 percent of the U.S. population, or about 10.5 million people. According to CIS, “Nationally, illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 9.9 percent of all persons in poverty, compared

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

to their 4.9 percent share of (the) nation’s total population.”

With lower incomes, illegal immigrants rely more on welfare programs. CIS said in Texas, “58 percent of illegal households collect some sort of welfare,” with “49 percent using food assistance and 41 percent using Medicaid.”

In California and Illinois, reports CIS, “55 percent use welfare.”

California, which has the largest number of illegal aliens, predictably has the greatest burden. In Los Angeles County alone, according to a CBS Los Angeles report, welfare and other benefits by the end of last year cost an estimated $650 million just for the native-born children of illegal immigrant parents. L.A. County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich told CBS Los Angeles: “When you add the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion a year.”

Hospital closings in California remain a major concern. As Examiner.com reported recently in a story about the economic burden to taxpayers posed by illegal immigrants, “In 2003, the American Southwest saw 77 hospitals enter bankruptcy due to unpaid medical bills incurred by illegal aliens.”

This country needs comprehensive immigration reform,

whether that means maintaining a secure border or outlining a standard of economic sustainability for immigrants. Taxpayers cannot continue to bear the economic burden of illegal immigration. The Obama administration has promised immigration reform; the Republican Party has promised it, but partisanship and politics keep both sides miles apart.

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., remains skeptical that any immigration measure will pass the GOP-led house this year, claiming that a distrust of the president runs deep with Republicans. And while both sides dither, the taxpayer continues to pay ... and our schools, hospitals and welfare system continue to sag under the weight of millions of illegal immigrants who chose not to take the legal route to citizenship.

If Republicans fail to come up with a workable immigration plan, they will simultaneously help Democrats who rely on the Hispanic vote and lose Republican votes.

As Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz told Breitbart News, they could also fail to achieve their major goal for 2014: winning a Senate majority.

Hill back to work full time Health issues sidelined County Board chairwoman

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill took her seat at Tuesday’s meeting after a monthlong leave

of absence for health reasons.

Hill, R-Woodstock, officially returned to her duties with a half day of work Monday. She temporarily stepped down Jan. 6 because she had been struggling with poor health and the need for

inpatient care after recent double-knee replacement surgery and complications from an earlier gastric bypass surgery.

“I’m back on duty full time,” she said before the meeting started.

Vice Chairman James Heisler, R-Crystal Lake, had served as chairman in Hill’s absence.

Hill, first elected to the County Board in 2002, is serving her

Council favors plans to expand Two businesses in CL set for growth

By JEFF ENGELHARDT

Here are some tips for environmentally friendly snow and ice removal.

1. Shovel the Snow: Minimize snow and ice by shoveling, and the sooner after snow stops falling the better.

2. Get a Grip: Scatter sand or even birdseed for traction. The grains won’t melt snow or ice, but they will give you more grip on icy surfaces.

3. Scrimp on the Deicer: Remember, the job of a deicer is to loosen ice from below to make it easier to shovel or plow. Don’t pile on the deicer thinking you’ll remove the ice completely. You won’t. The recommended application rate for rock salt is around a handful per square yard you treat. Calcium chloride will treat about three square yards a handful.

4. Get the Boot: Wear boots that have a solid toe and bottom treads to help increase your grip on icy surfaces.

Our collective efforts to keep chemicals including salt and urea-based deicers out of our watershed can make an impact on the quality of our water in our county. It is important that as a community we commit to a healthy water supply.

When you think that a little doesn’t really matter, remember all our water in McHenry County comes from the groundwater which is literally just under our feet. Every drop counts.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Two existing Crystal Lake businesses will begin expansion plans after receiving approval from the Crystal Lake City Council Tuesday.

Piyush Patel, an owner of Oak Street Food & Liquor at 256 Oak St., plans on opening a second liquor store on Route 31 while automobile dealership Martin Chevrolet, located at 5220 Northwest Highway, hopes for a significant expansion that would include a drive-thru car wash and an addition to connect the sales and service buildings.

The new liquor store is set to open at the old Mema’s Liquor location at 450 N. Route 31 and become the city’s 23rd business with a Class 13 liquor license. That license allows packaged alcohol to be sold from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. with an additional hour of operation added on the weekends.

Sunrise Tobacco & Liquors is the latest in a recent slew of alcohol-related businesses to come to the city. In December, the City Council approved a new liquor license to make way for the first microbrewery to open in Crystal Lake. That decision came roughly one month after Jasters Craft Beer and Winery at 414 W. Virginia St. had its grand opening.

While the alcohol business expands in the city, automobile dealerships continue to be a key in the local economy.

A week after Mayor Aaron Shepley called automobile dealerships the key driver in the local economy during his State of the City address, Martin Chevrolet received partial approval to expand its services.

Building demolition OK’d Upgrade in works Algonquin vote reverses decision by commission

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Three structures in the Old Town District are slated for demolition.

The Village Board, in a 4-2 vote on Tuesday, reversed a Historic Commission decision and allowed for the demolition of two commercial buildings and a garage at 107111 W. Algonquin Road.

As part of the board’s decision, the property owners have to make the buildings available for anyone wishing to relocate or salvage them.

However, the owners have six months to complete the demolition on the proper-

ty and put sod on the land, among other things.

The owners also have to provide a $40,000 site restoration bond the village can use in case the owners don’t complete the work on the property.

There are no plans for the site other than to remove the buildings and sod/seed the property. Any plan for site redevelopment would need Village Board approval.

“We as a board have to look to the future, and try to blend both the historical value as well as having something vibrant in our downtown that will lure more people, to utilize our downtown.” said Trustee Jerry Glogowski, who voted in favor of allowing the demolition, along with Trustees Brian Dianis, Jim Steigert and John Spella.

The building has many structural problems and there are leaky pipes and

cracks in the foundation. Repairs to the buildings could cost $100,000, according to village documents.

The village’s downtown redevelopment plan calls for redevelopment of the property as a multistory commercial and/or residential development.

Trustees Robert Smith and Debby Sosine voted against the demolition request.

“Our ordinance is in place for a reason. It’s to preserve this area. Anyone who buys there knows it’s there,” Smith said. “To sit there and let this property owner neglect our ordinances, pay no attention to it and let this building just go away …. [and] they’re going to seize the opportunity to get out from underneath it … From a business sense I can see that. But at the same point,

for McHenry park

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The city of McHenry is moving ahead with plans to renovate one of its busiest playgrounds.

Twenty years after Fort McHenry was built by volunteers, its wooden structure is reaching the end of its useful life, Deputy City Administrator Bill Hobson told the McHenry City Council in a memo.

The council unanimously approved going out to bid on the renovation of the Whispering Oaks playground at its meeting Monday evening.

The project is expected to cost about $220,000 and will be paid for using the parks developer donations fund, a collection of development fees charged to residential developers for park im-

provements.

“The idea is to update it but keep the same look and feel to it,” Hobson said. “We want to keep the integrity as true as it was when it was built 20 years ago. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into it.”

Much of the wood deck, handrails and balusters will be replaced with a composite that resembles wood but will last longer and require less maintenance, according to Hobson and past council documents.

The playground equipment also will be updated to meet current standards, Hobson said. For example, some of the slides that have metal on them will be replaced with all plastic slides.

to get out

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A family’s fireplace was the cause of two separate house fires Tuesday, according to Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District officials.

Around 6:45 a.m. firefighters were called to a home at 1300 Kendall Ave. in Algonquin after a report of smoke in the house. The homeowner went to bed Monday night and thought the fireplace was out, but woke up Tuesday with the house full of smoke, according to the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District.

The four people inside the house at the time of the fire evacuated the home, Assistant Chief Peter Van Dorpe said.

No one was injured.

“We did have a lot of fire in the walls and in the ceilings,” Van Dorpe said. “We

Firefighters clear the scene of a house fire Tuesday in Algonquin. An overnight burning fireplace caused of the blaze, according to the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District. made it a general alarm and raised it to a box alarm largely because this is a rural area. We don’t have hydrants here so we had to establish a water supply, and because of the weather.”

Then around 12:30 p.m. firefighters were called again to the residence when

the homeowner noticed smoke coming from the chimney. Light smoke was coming from chimney and was quickly extinguished by firefighters.

The first fire was contained to the walls and the roof. The home will be habitable once it gets cleaned and repaired, Van Dorpe said.

A fire investigation found there were no working smoke detectors in the home, he added.

“If this had happened at 3 in the morning, we could have had a tragedy on our hands,” Van Dorpe said.

Fire departments from Crystal Lake, Cary and East Dundee assisted on the call.

8LOCAL BRIEFS McHenry County Sheriff’s Office warns of tax scam The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about an IRS tax scam where a victim purchased more than $1,500 in prepaid cards for a scammer posing as someone from the tax audit revenue service.

The victim was contacted by someone claiming to be “James Anderson,” who told her she owed $2,698 in back taxes

since 2008. He directed the victim to a CVS Pharmacy where she purchased a $500 Green Dot MoneyPak prepaid card.

After she purchased the card, “James Anderson” called back and told the victim to scratch off the back of the card and give him the numbers over the phone.

After several more phone calls and trips to the CVS, the victim purchased cards totaling more than $1,500.

“Those who have become a victim of a scam or identity theft are encouraged to make a report with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office or their local police jurisdiction,” Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said in a media release.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office will host an Identify Theft forum from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. March 10 at Senior Services Associates Inc. at 110 Woodstock St. in Crystal Lake.

KANE COUNTY: MONTHLY MEETING

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

KANE COUNTY: WINTER PLAY

Official: ‘Significant progress’ in salaries Pay for assistant state’s attorneys at issue

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said his office has made “significant progress” in making his assistant prosecutors’ salaries more competitive.

But, he told reporters Tuesday during his monthly media meeting, “We haven’t closed the gap entirely.”

The starting salary for assistant state’s attorneys last year increased from about $40,000 to $50,000, McMahon said.

He said he expects it will be between $50,000 and $55,000 this year.

McMahon said it is important for Kane County to offer competitive salaries that allow assistant state’s attorneys to repay their loans and cover their living expenses while they pursue a job they are passionate about.

He wouldn’t want to lose an employee solely because of money, he said.

Also Tuesday, McMahon shared highlights from his office’s annual report, which in-

cluded the number of calls to the felony hotline.

In 2013, the felony hotline received 2,446 calls for review, which was down from 2,781 calls in 2012 and 2,839 calls in 2011.

The bulk of the calls – about 75 percent – came from five agencies: the Aurora Police Department (815), the Elgin Police Department (531), the Kane County Sheriff’s Office (178), the Carpentersville Police Department (168) and the St. Charles Police Department (143), according to the report.

McMahon also announced that the Election Complaint Line, 630-208-5328, will be available from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 18 for the primary election.

The hotline should be used to report illegal election activity, such as electioneering, illegally placed campaign signs and denial of voting rights at any of the county’s 228 voting precincts.

It should not be used for election questions, such as polling times and locations.

That information is available through the Kane County Clerk’s Election Help Line at 630-232-5990.

Snow sparks igloo building

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com Given all the snow the Tri-Cities area has received this winter, perhaps it is not surprising that igloos have been popping up.

An igloo was built in January near St. Charles, and another igloo was built last weekend in Batavia.

Last month, Laura and Elisabeth Chramer, who live in Alabama, fashioned a igloo that is more than 6 feet tall in the backyard of their grandparents’ home at 35W814 Bluff Drive, just south of St. Charles North High School.

“I always wanted to make an igloo,” said Laura Chramer, who visits her grandparents once a year. “We were

“We were going to make the most out of the snow we were presented with.”

Laura Chramer Alabama resident visiting relatives in St. Charles going to make the most out of the snow we were presented with.”

After spending hours rolling large snowballs and putting them together, their igloo took shape. And as she found out by stepping inside it, it’s functional as well.

“It was warm enough,” she said. “We went out with some hot chocolate and sat inside.

It shielded us from the wind pretty well.”

Her grandfather, Reyn Chramer, is proud of their ef-

forts.

“They did a good job,” he said. “It’s quite a bit larger than you would expect. We’re hoping all the snow we got will keep it a little longer.”

Laura Chramer got a surprise last week when Alabama received a rare 2-inch snowfall.

“We didn’t have enough to make anything,” she said. “It made for good sledding.”

Logan Connon, 13, is proud of the igloo that he built last weekend with his dad, Sean,

at their house at 1131 North Ave. in Batavia.

To make it more comfortable, they put a couple of lawn chairs in the igloo along with a portable heater.

The igloo is impressive in size, boasting a 9-foot diameter.

“We sat in there for a few minutes Sunday,” Logan said.

“It’s pretty warm, and it’s pretty quiet. The walls are pretty thick. It was well worth the effort.”

They caught the attention of people driving by as they were making it, and they said it is the talk of their neighborhood.

“A lot of people driving by honked as we were making it,” Sean Connon said. “Neighbors have taken photos of it.”

“Ask

us about our irewood and snow removal services!”

Impact of Child’s Custodial Preference facilitate and encourage a close relationship between the other parent and child; and whether one of the parents is a sex offender.

Sara L. Busche, earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University and Juris Doctor degree from John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Before joining Gitlin & Busche she was a social worker for Lutheran Social Services of Illinois.

Q: If the parents are disputing who will have custody of a child after a divorce, who decides?

A: The judge. The judge must look to Section 602 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act and will grant one of the parents custody based upon what is in the best interest of the child in accordance with the custody decision factors stated in Section 602.

Q: What are the factors the court must consider under Section 602 to award custody to one of the parents?

A: The relevant factors are: the wishes of the child as to his custodian; the wishes of the child’s parents as to the child’s custody; the interactions and interrelationships the child has with family and friends; the child’s adjustment to his home, school, and community; the mental and physical health of all parties involved; the physical violence or threat of physical violence by the child’s potential custodian; the occurrence of ongoing abuse, whether directed at the child or another person; the willingness and ability of each parent to

Q: Because the child’s wishes is a factor, what is the impact of the child’s custodial preference?

A: The court should consider the custodial wishes of the child, providing the child has sufficient mental capacity to make an informed and intelligent choice and the choice is consistent with what is in the best interest of the child, but custody cannot be decided based only on the child’s preference.

Q: At what age may a child decide the issue of custody?

A: Only after the child is a legal adult: 18.

Before that what is important is the maturity level of the child and whether his reasoning is consistent with the child’s best interests. The youngest age of the child at which the appellate court affirmed an award of custody based in part on the wishes of the child is 10 years old, but in a trial court I gained custody for the father based largely on the 8-year old child’s preference for the father. The 8-year old was bright and mature for his age.

Q: How does the child tell the court his custodial preference?

A: The court can obtain the child’s preference by conducting an in-chambers (the judge’s office) conference with the child. A court reporter transcribes the interview. The lawyers are present unless they waive their right to be present. The child’s custodial preference can also be placed into evidence by people who talk to the child. This is usually done through mental health personnel, or a Guardian ad Litem (attorney for child).

Q: If the child is not considered to have sufficient mental capacity to make an informed decision, who can protect the best interests of the child when the parents cannot?

A: The court has the ultimate duty to protect the best interests of the child, but each parent has the option to petition the court for an attorney to represent the best interests of the child. The appointees are either a Guardian ad Litem or a child representative.

Q: What are the problems with relying on the custodial wishes of the child?

A: First, asking a child to make a decision puts tremendous pressure on the child.

Second, the reliance can provide an incentive for one of the parents to manipulate or intimidate the child to choosing that parent and also an opportunity for the child to manipulate one of the parents.

This is not in the best interest of the child.

Q: Is it easier to wait until after the divorce proceedings have concluded to allow the child to make an informed decision about with which parent the child prefers to live?

A: No. It is much harder to obtain a change of custody after the initial custody order.

Q: I know my child will tell the judge she wants to be with me, so shouldn’t I push for the judge to interview her?

A: Be careful. Children have an instinct for survival. No matter what the child tells you, if the child has a sense her custody will be awarded to the other parent, she will not want to offend the other parent and make “survival” difficult for herself, so she will choose the other parent.

Dealership to add drive-thru car wash • EXPAND Continued from page B1 The dealership will add a drive-thru car wash, elevated display structures and an extension to connect the service building with its sales building, which also will receive its own additions.

The expansion plans come months before the expected opening of Anderson Volkswagen at 5213 Northwest Highway. That dealership is expected to add at least 10 new jobs to some of the employees it will be transferring from its Route 31 location.

Dealership officials will still need to get approval for

flag poles and signage, but Shepley thanked the dealership for its investment in the community.

“I think the plan is great overall. I’m completely supportive of this,” Shepley said.

“I think it will keep pace with all the work that has been going on with car dealerships here.”

However ,the owners of the property, the LUUCK Part-

nership – which includes four retirees – appealed the decision to the Village Board.

The Historic Commission said the three buildings, the oldest of which was built in 1857, are part of the few remaining structures of Algonquin’s first business district.

Jeff Jolitz, who is chair-

man of the Historic Commission, spoke at the Village Board meeting and pointed out there is no redevelopment plan for the property.

“This is demolition by neglect,” Jolitz said. “It’s only to take away from our town, with no guarantee the property will be, in a reasonable amount of time, be redeveloped.”

Runaway slaves used musty piles of potatoes as “stations” to hide in. What can you find hidden in this pile of potatoes?

A ball, a sock, a boat and a fish.

Runaway slaves followed the North Star to freedom. If the stars were hidden by clouds, they would feel the trunks of the trees, looking for moss, which always grows on the north side of a tree.

here once was a railroad that had no tracks, no trains, no whistles, no schedule.

It ran through dark woods and swamps thick with snakes. Its “stations” were secret rooms and musty piles of potatoes.

The Underground Railroad, as it was called, was a series of secret paths and stations that helped runaway slaves find their way to freedom. The secret railroad ran from the southern United States to Canada.

Standards Link: Visual Discrimination: Students compare and sort common objects.

Star Gazing Can you find the star that is different?

At one time, in some states, it was legal to own people. They could be bought and sold like cows and horses. This was called slavery.

Many people thought slavery was wrong.

They wanted to help slaves find a way to live free. This is how the Underground Railroad started. The kindnesses and concerns of thousands of strangers kept this freedom train “running.”

“Conductor” was one of the most dangerous jobs on the Underground Railroad. Conductors were runaway slaves who led other slaves to freedom. One of the most famous was Harriet Tubman.

Harriet Tubman led more than 300 slaves to freedom. She once said, “On my Underground Railroad I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.”

Standards Link: Eye-hand coordination; problem solving.

Thomas Garrett’s home was a station on the Underground Railroad. He gave food and shelter to more than 2,500 runaway slaves. In 1848, he was arrested for helping runaway slaves. All of his property was taken away from him and sold. He had to pay a huge fine and was left penniless. Yet, he surprised the sheriff with what he said.

Doctors are my heroes because they are gentle and nice when they give you a shot or a blood test. They also give me medicine when I am sick. When I get hurt, they check if any bones are broken.

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN TO BEGIN VEGAS SHOW

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, February 5, 2014 • Section B • Page 8

“Grease” star Olivia Newton-John is headed to Las Vegas. The 65-year-old singer and actress announced a headlining residency Tuesday. She will perform 45 shows at the Donny and Marie Showroom at The Flamingo, starting April 8. Dates are scheduled through the summer. Organizers say the show will feature “Grease” classics including “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and “You’re the One That I Want,” as well as Newton-John’s independent pop songs. The show will be called “Summer Nights.”

Tickets go on sale Friday starting at $69.

‘Monuments Men’ records go on display Swan Racing partners with 50 Cent

BILL CLINTON WAS JAY LENO’S TOP ‘TONIGHT SHOW’ TARGET For Jay Leno, Bill Clinton was the comic gift who kept giving. By one exhaustive count, the outgoing “Tonight Show” host made 4,607 jokes at the former president’s expense during his time on the program.

The Center for Media and Public Affairs catalogued nearly 44,000 jokes Leno made about political figures and celebrities at “Tonight” through Jan. 24. Leno is leaving “Tonight” after Thursday.

His first Clinton joke came on May 25, 1992, shortly after taking over from Johnny Carson and when Clinton was still a presidential candidate. “Clinton says that he’s troubled by the amount of sex on television,” Leno said. “He says that where he’s from sex is a deeply personal thing between a candidate and his campaign volunteers.”

“Leno jokes about powerful people and he jokes about scandals. Bill Clinton is both,” said Robert Lichter, director of the Washington-area think tank and author of the upcoming book, “Politics is a Joke: How TV Comedians are Remaking Political Life.”

How long has Leno been joking about Clinton? One popular topic was the politician’s weight and penchant for fast food – now he’s a lean vegetarian.

Not only is Clinton more than a thousand jokes ahead of the runner-up (George W. Bush, 3,239 jokes), Leno’s top 10 targets also include Hillary Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

When art historians saw Paris fall to the Nazis in World War II, they immediately realized Europe’s vast monuments, art, cathedrals and architecture were at risk and began mobilizing to protect such treasures.

In Washington, the newly opened National Gallery of Art became the U.S. museum world’s epicenter for lobbying President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Allied forces in 1941 to prevent the destruction of Europe’s monuments. Their efforts would create a corps of U.S. and British soldiers who worked to protect cultural sites and recover looted art after the war.

Now for the first time, photographs, maps, correspondence and records – including lists of art amassed by Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders – from the corps of soldiers known as “monuments men” are going on display at the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Archives of American Art and the National Archives.

Rapper 50 Cent is bringing his headphones and audio line into NASCAR via a partnership with Swan Racing.

The rapper – born Curtis Jackson – will have branding for his SMS Audio line on both of Swan Racing’s cars. The logos will also be on the uniforms for Parker Kligerman and Cole Whitt, and the drivers will be featured on Swan-branded SMS Audio headphones.

The partnership also calls for 50 Cent to make appearances at races throughout the 2014 season, although the rapper is no stranger to the Daytona 500. He made headlines when he awkwardly attempted to kiss Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews on the starting grid for the Daytona 500.

But NASCAR seems to be a fit for Jackson, particularly this partnership with Swan Racing, which is owned by Brandon Davis, the CEO of independent oil and gas company Swan Energy.

Pharrell Williams to perform at Oscars

A trial date has been set for Justin Bieber in Miami for his recent arrest on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an invalid license.

The March 3 date for the three misdemeanors was set Tuesday by an automated court system. Bieber’s attorneys have filed a written plea of not guilty. Initial trial dates are often delayed.

The 19-year-old pop star was arrested Jan. 23 in Miami Beach after what police called an illegal drag race between two exotic sports cars driven by Bieber and R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff. Sharieff was also arrested on a DUI charge.

Breath tests showed Bieber’s blood alcohol content below the .02 threshold for underage drivers. Police say a toxicology test detected marijuana and Xanax in his system.

Pharrell Williams will perform at the Academy Awards.

Oscar producers said Tuesday the producer-performer will sing his nominated song “Happy.” There was no word on whether his Grammy Award-stealing hat would make an appearance.

Williams wrote “Happy” for “Despicable Me 2.” It’s nominated for original song along with U2’s “Ordinary Love” from “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” ‘’Let It Go” by Idina Menzel from “Frozen” and Karen O’s “The Moon Song” from “Her.” The 40-year-old Williams has been on quite a run with prominent roles in the recent hits “Get Lucky” and “Blurred Lines” and with four Grammy wins, including producer of the year.

The Oscars will be presented March 2.

WOODSTOCK 54, WOODSTOCK NORTH 27

Stoneking leads Woodstock Senior scores Blue Streaks’ 1st 10 points on way to 19-point, 11-rebound night

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – Before Tuesday’s game against Woodstock North, there was some question about the health of Woodstock’s leading scorer, Damian Stoneking.

The Blue Streaks center had injured his shoulder during Woodstock’s loss to Grayslake Central.

The 6-foot-7 senior showed all in attendance his shoulder was just fine.

The Woodstock (8-10, 3-1 FVC

Fox) big man ended the night with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

“The shoulder is feeling much better than it did in our last game,” Stoneking said. “I was able to get off to a fast start, which I thought was key. We were able to take advantage of some mismatches on defense early in the game and I was able to hit some shots.”

A fast start was key for Woodstock against its crosstown rival.

The Blue Streaks were able to jump out to a 14-point lead at the half Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com thanks in part to a second quarter in which Woodstock shot a staggering Woodstock senior Damian Stoneking (left) and Woodstok North senior Nick Herscha reach

Former Crystal Lake South football player Fahn Cooper on Tuesday visited the school’s weight room. Cooper will sign a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday to play at Mississippi.

TRYING TO GET BACK ON COURSE CL South graduate Fahn Cooper set to sign with Ole Miss again

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com

F

ahn Cooper always believed he was destined to play at college football’s highest level and then in the NFL. Cooper formulated a plan he believed would get him there. What the 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive lineman didn’t envision, however, was many detours.

On Wednesday, the 2011 Crystal Lake South graduate will sign a National Letter of Intent to play at Mississippi. It will be the second time in three months he has done so.

He signed with Ole Miss on JUCO Signing Day on Dec. 18, but did not have the minimum 2.0 GPA to begin classes in January and play spring football.

Instead, he is in Crystal Lake, taking online classes through the

College of DuPage and hoping to be qualified to join the school after this semester.

Ole Miss will be Cooper’s third school in three years. After graduating, he spent two years at Bowling Green, the first as a redshirt, then played this past season at the College of DuPage.

“There have been times when I only felt like I was shades of myself because all of that other stuff was breaking me down,” Cooper said.

“Now I feel like it’s more full speed ahead.

“Now I’m thinking about starting against Alabama. I’m thinking about starting in the SEC Championship game. I’m thinking about stuff like that every single day because now, I know what my plan is.”

• • • From the first day Cooper arrived at Bowling Green, something didn’t seem right.

For nine games his freshman year, Cooper remained on Red Alert, a term referring to first-year players who could be thrown into immediate action. Cooper had chosen Bowling Green, in part, because it offered the opportunity to play right away. But after a road game at Kent State, Cooper was informed he would be redshirted and would spend the final four games of the year on the Falcons’ scout team.

Cooper knew he wasn’t ready to play. He still was adjusting to college life and balancing academics with football. Making matters worse, Cooper was wondering if he might be happier elsewhere.

He was envious of the life players at bigger schools had. He spoke frequently with former South teammate and offensive lineman Jake Bernstein, who was on scholarship at Vanderbilt. The two talked about

life in the SEC, only making Cooper more unhappy with the direction he was headed.

The spring of his sophomore year, Cooper asked Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson for his release. His request was denied. Even though he would go on to start 13 games as a redshirt sophomore for the Falcons, something still wasn’t right.

“I was always kind of wanted more the whole time I was there,” Cooper said.

His dissatisfaction took a toll off the field. There were days, Cooper said, when he woke up telling himself that he didn’t want to be there.

He didn’t want to do anything.

Soon, his grades were slipping to the point that he no longer was in good academic standing with the university.

See COOPER, page C6

One of Cary-Grove junior Ricky Hurley’s memories of assistant coach Jim Miller is from this past spring when Miller, in pain and unable to walk without help, still was having fun.

“He was out there on the track in his wheelchair doing wheelies,” Hurley said.

At the time, Miller was exhausted physically, but mentally upbeat.

He and his wife, Vicki, believed his diagnosis for ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease – was wrong and that he might actually have Lyme disease, which carries many of the same symptoms but is treatable.

Although that thought gave the Millers hope, the initial diagnosis was accurate. Miller’s condition grew worse over the summer and he was unable to continue teaching at C-G. He died Tuesday morning in his McHenry home at age 57.

Miller taught and coached in District 155 for 34 years. He coached football, wrestling and track and field. Miller grew up in Kohler, Wis., and played football and wrestled at Northwestern.

“There are a lot of people with heavy hearts,” C-G boys track and field coach Layne Holter said.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 59, PRARIE RIDGE 48

Gators hold off Wolves, get needed boost

By MAUREEN LYNCH sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Most boys basketball teams have an entire offseason to sort out roles and responsibilities. Crystal Lake South’s team had two weeks.

Losing guard Austin Rogers to a knee injury Jan. 22 against Marian Central meant the Gators lost the area’s leading scorer and an inside-outside presence defenders couldn’t ignore. Many South players also lost their identities, which had helped the Gators roll undefeated through the

first month of the season.

Inclement weather that canceled practices and two games against formidable opponents, where game-time experimentation wasn’t a viable option, also didn’t help matters.

Tuesday night at Prairie Ridge, the Gators emerged from the wreckage.

South controlled the tempo almost from the outset of its Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game and scrapped its way to a 59-48 victory against the Wolves to snap a two-game losing skid that followed Rogers’ departure from the starting lineup.

“We needed a boost of confidence,”

sophomore center Josh Friesen said.

“I think that this was really big, and it was against our biggest rival in the conference. Now I think we have the juice to keep going.”

The Wolves charged to a 7-0 lead on Tuesday, but South (14-6 overall, 3-4 FVC Valley) answered with the first of several long runs. Friesen fought through the Wolves’ zone to get two quick buckets in the paint, and senior Chris Mahoney had a 3-point play to help make it 11-7 with 1:23 left in the first quarter.

South started another 11-point run with 6:35 left in the second quar-

ter, thanks in part to six points from Friesen, to help the Gators lead 22-17 at halftime. Another 11-point spurt midway through the third erased a brief 26-24 Wolves advantage, and South held on to lead 37-30 on junior guard Alex Reich’s short jumper heading into the fourth.

A 13-4 run to open the fourth put the Gators ahead, 50-34. South forced two key turnovers and converted, once on a Reich layup and once on a bucket from Kyle Bartusch. The Wolves (12-9, 3-4) never got within 11 points again.

“They had a good game plan and

got the ball wherever they wanted it,” Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card said.

“They drove, they hit some shots, they got offensive rebounds and then, at the other end of the floor, they gave us only one shot. They really outplayed us.”

Nearly everything about the win was inspiring to South coach Matt LePage, who watched a team that could have laid down refuse to do so.

“We’ve been in recovery mode,” he said. “The last [two weeks] have not been easy. It was a lot for some of these guys to handle, but tonight was a good sign and a heck of a win.”

Chargers net first FVC win

Eagles lead from start to finish

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

By ANDY SCHMIDT sports@nwherald.com CARPENTERSVILLE – It had been a very rough 2014 calendar year and Fox Valley Conference Valley Division season for the Dundee-Crown’s boys basketball team with the Chargers winless on both counts going into Tuesday’s game against Cary-Grove.

Malik Dunner made sure the winless streak would end, however, hitting a floater in the lane with 1:30 to play to give D-C the lead for good in a 46-45 victory. The win snapped a sixgame losing streak for the Chargers.

D-C (5-13, 1-6 FVC Valley) trailed most of the game and took its first lead late in the third quarter. The teams traded the lead throughout the final eight minutes before Dunner’s shot with 90 seconds left. Cary had a chance to win in the final seconds but a long 3-point attempt from Devin McDonough was no good. Dunner said that it was great to finally feel victory again.

“It’s been a long year,” Dunner said. “Everyone was digging in and we didn’t want to lose no more. It’s the time of the year where we got to get things together.”

Dunner added that what happened on the decisive play was fairly simple.

“I saw the shot and I took it,” Dunner said.

D-C coach Lance Huber was especially pleased with his team’s defense during the final possession.

“It might be the best defense we played all year,” Huber said. “They did a good job. Malik set the tone with his defense on [Jason Gregoire].”

The Trojans (11-9, 4-3) had a chance to pull closer to Huntley in the Valley Division race, but the loss puts them three games behind in the loss column with five divisional games to play. Cary-Grove coach Ralph Schuetzle said that although the final play didn’t go the way he would have wanted, the play itself was sound having McDonough get the last shot.

“That’s not the one we wanted, but for a 42 percent 3-point shooter to get a wide-open look, I was fine with it,” Schuetzle said. “It’s not the way that it was drawn up, but it would have been the same shot if Tyler (Szydlo) drove and [McDonough would have] been in the corner, so it may have been a little further out than we would have wanted, but they took away Tyler’s penetration, so you kick and you live with that.”

Nick Munson led the Chargers with 10 points while Dunner added nine. Cordero Parson and Kiwaun Seals each put in eight points for D-C.

six points and six rebounds.

For Woodstock North, coach Steve Ryan was very unhappy with the way his team played against Woodstock.

“We just didn’t come out with any intensity tonight,” Ryan said.

“We are at home playing against our rivals, and we had no energy right from the start. I just can’t explain it. Once Woodstock got out to a quick lead, we started to hang our heads and never got in the game.”

The Thunder were led by Nikolaus Herscha with eight points.

McHENRY – Jacobs was satisfied with the outcome, but not thrilled with its overall performance.

Had the Golden Eagles finished stronger after building a 16-point, fourth-quarter lead, it would have been a little sweeter.

“We got a win, on the road (in the division) and they’re upset,” Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts said, “which I think is positive.”

Jacobs pounded McHenry on the glass and led the entire way for a 5747 victory in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division boys basketball game Tuesday night. The win keeps the Eagles (11-10, 5-2 FVC Valley) two games behind division-leading Huntley.

“We felt like we should have won by a lot more, but a win’s a win,” Jacobs forward Reilly Peltier said. “We came out fired up and decided this is a game where we want to show people what we can do. We’re going to take it and build momentum going to Prairie Ridge on Saturday.”

Jacobs hit 8 of 9 field goals in the first quarter, then got nine of its 13 points off offensive rebounds in the second quarter for a 32-19 halftime lead. The Eagles got rebound baskets off free throws from Robert Grant (in the second quarter) and Cameron Krutwig (in the third).

“On most teams we have a big size advantage,” said Krutwig, a 6-foot-5 freshman who recorded game-highs of 18 points and eight rebounds. “We have four bigs so we rotate in and crash the glass hard and good things happen.”

Jacobs outrebounded the Warriors, 38-23, for the game but the Warriors managed to creep closer late in the game. The Eagles committed five turnovers and hit 3 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter as McHenry (910, 2-5) cut the lead to 53-47 with 1:22 remaining.

“Finish it. Finish it,” Roberts said.

“Having that killer instinct, that finishing mentality of putting teams away when we had the opportunity.

That’s all it was.”

The Warriors could not get any closer as Jacobs scored on a layup and two free throws in the last 1:12.

“We’re just having a hard time getting consistent scoring,” McHenry coach Tim Paddock said. “Defensively, we’ve been good. We held [Chrishawn] Orange to seven points and held them to 57, but we just go through spurts of three or five minutes where we don’t score.”

Sophomore Nick Bellich led the Warriors with 14 points and four 3s.

Kyle Postal added 12 with a pair of 3s.

BOYS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 54, BARRINGTON 52

Bessey passes up Super Bowl trip, helps Red Raiders to victory

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider played an important role in guiding his team to a Super Bowl victory Sunday night.

He also had a hand in helping the Huntley boys basketball team when he offered his nephew, Huntley guard Jack Bessey, some advice on a big decision.

Schneider offered Bessey and his family Super Bowl tickets, but the freshman made the decision to skip the game and stay in town to help his team during a crucial stretch of games. But it wasn’t an easy

choice, especially with his parents making the trip.

“I called my uncle and he said, ‘You need to stay, because if I were in high school in the same situation I would’ve played basketball because you’re a freshman on varsity and that’s what your goal is,’ ” Bessey said.

“That’s why I stayed.”

It was a good thing, too, as Bessey’s strong defense and eight-point effort helped the Red Raiders to a 54-52 nonconference win over visiting Barrington.

Huntley coach Marty Manning said that he told Bessey to take the trip to New Jersey for the game over the week-

end when the two spoke on the phone after the freshman learned he had been offered the tickets. But when Bessey decided to stay and help his team, Manning was proud of the type of character the freshman showed in being dedicated to his team.

“I wanted to be there,” Bessey said. “But this win helps make up for it.”

It almost wasn’t a win, however, as the Red Raiders (15-4 overall) owned a 23-22 halftime lead but ran into a rough scoring drought, shooting 1 of 12 in the third quarter, which gave the Broncos a 12-point lead heading into the fourth.

Huntley’s Amanze Egekeze scored a game-high 16 points and helped ice the win by making 5 of 8 free throws in the game’s final minute. The 6-foot-8 forward was on a tear early, scoring 11 points in the first half, but the Broncos shifted into a box-and-one defense and shaded help underneath to take away easy looks at the basket, forcing other players to step up, especially in the scoring drought.

With the win, Egekeze because the winningest boys basketball player in school history.

Blake Jacobs made the only Huntley basket in the third quarter which came with 2:20

left. The senior finished with 12 points and helped Huntley begin its comeback.

“They were doubling on Amanze and I just tried to dribble-penetrate and get my shot,” Jacobs said.

Manning was happy with the shots his team was taking in the third but they just wouldn’t go in until Jacobs caught fire.

“We weren’t taking stupid shots, or quick shots,” Manning said. ‘They just weren’t falling. At that point you’re thinking it’s one of those nights where you’re not making shots and you’re going to come out of there with a loss.”

But the Red Raiders came alive, scoring 11 straight points as Jacobs, Kyle Slonka and Bessey each hit 3s to cut the deficit to 40-37. After trading several baskets, Bessey made an aggressive play on defense and stripped the ball at the point before taking it the length of the court for a layup and a 51-50 lead, Huntley’s first since halftime and one the Red Raiders wouldn’t give up. “[Bessey] made a couple of huge plays on the defensive end that got him a layup and a 3-pointer,” Manning said.

“He’s a great competitor and that’s why I didn’t take him out in the second half.”

rangements have not yet been made.

Miller started his teaching and coaching career with eight years at C-G. He moved to Crystal Lake Central for eight years, then back to C-G for the past 18. Two of his highlights as throws coach for track came in the past two years when Josh Freeman won the Class 3A state shot put and discus titles, then Hurley took fifth in discus and seventh in shot last year.

Freeman won the shot at the Pan-American Games in Colombia last summer and recently set the Missouri Valley Conference indoor shot put record.

“He was a very unselfish man,” Freeman said. “He cared about everyone. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind and tell you the honest truth, and help you fix what you needed to fix. He was a very giving man. That’s what people are going to miss most.”

Miller used a cane, wheelchair and golf cart last spring while coaching C-G’s throwers. He was a powerful-look-

ing man at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds who often rode his bike around town and was in top physical shape before he became ill.

“He held out to the very bitter end with a positive attitude,” Holter said. “He thought he was going to beat this thing.

He looked forward to coming back this spring for track. The lifestyle he lived, to be trapped in a body that didn’t work with a mind that was sharp had to be difficult.”

Hurley is confident that, although Miller is gone, he will not be forgotten.

“Everything he said will stick in my head through this whole season and the next,” Hurley said. “And probably through college.”

Freeman recalled his last conversation with Miller just after Christmas, when the Bears played the Green Bay Packers.

“He was a Packers fan and we always used to bicker back and forth,” Freeman said. “We talked about the game, talked a little bit about football, we talked about throwing and my training.”

The Bulls kept the Suns’ prolific offense in check, holding them 13 points under their average. Boozer didn’t play for much of the fourth quarter as the Bulls went mainly with Taj Gibson as an interior defender, but his teammates did damage on offense down the stretch.

Noah also had a couple of key baskets in the fourth.

Butler’s 3-pointer with 4:43 to play gave the Bulls an 89-80 lead, but Goran Dragic hit a 3 and Leandro Barbosa, playing extended minutes with sharpshooter Gerald Green struggling, drove for a layup to cut the lead to 89-85.

Then Butler and Noah came up with back-to-back baskets, and the Suns’ rally fizzled.

Dragic, the reigning Western Conference player of the week, led Phoenix with 24 points. Channing Frye had 18, and Barbosa scored nine of his 13 in the fourth quarter.

Down 13 points in the third quarter, the Suns went on a

13-4 run to close to 50-46 on Dragic’s driving layup at the 9-minute mark. The Bulls went up by 11 on a follow by Boozer, but the Suns cut the lead to 60-55 on a pair of Dragic free throws with 4:36 left.

Mike Dunleavy scored eight of his 11 points in the third quarter, helping the Bulls carry a 69-63 lead into the fourth.

The game started with a brisk pace, but the Suns missed more shots and had more turnovers in what turned out to be an offensively deficient first quarter. So low that the 13 points for Phoenix was its lowest total in a first quarter this season.

Boozer had eight points and five rebounds to help the Bulls to a 21-13 lead after one.

Boozer should stop talking Carlos Boozer apparently gets paid by the word.

A Bulls telecast is a competition between the announcers and the power forward with the very loud, very round mouth. Boozer keeps a running commentary going while in the game, shouting out thought after thought, most of it coming through the TV clearly. If he gets a rebound, he screams, “Gimme dat!” If a free throw of his can’t make up its mind whether to go in, he yells, “Get in there!” He says “Hey!” too many times to count.

For much of the night, we get a run-on sentence built on a mixture of reflexive utterances and, I suspect, an attempt to give the appearance of total engagement in the game. He talks the best defense in the NBA, despite compelling evidence that he wouldn’t know weak-side help from a tree stump.

But now he has brought different words to the proceedings, and, like the pixels in your TV set, they show true colors. He’s upset that he often finds himself on the bench when the fourth quarter rolls around. Coach Tom Thibodeau wants someone on the floor who can play defense.

That would be Taj Gibson, not Boozer. And for all of Gibson’s inconsistency when it comes to outside shooting the past five seasons, he has been better offensively than Boozer in the fourth quarter this season.

Boozer informed reporters of his irritation Monday.

“I think I should be out there, but it’s [Thibodeau’s] choice,” he said. “He makes the decisions out there. I play; I don’t coach. He coaches, so he decides that. But, honestly, he’s been doing that a lot since I’ve been here, not putting me

LOS ANGELES – Nick Leddy is learning to speak up.

It’s not easy for the soft-spoken Blackhawks’ defenseman.

“It’s not natural for me,” Leddy said. “I was never the loudest guy in the locker room in high school and college. I liked to lead by example.

“But I’m working on it.

It’s coming along. You look around our locker room, the best vocal guys are our leaders. So when you’re a good vocal guy, it’s always good.”

It’s unlikely Leddy ever will be a rah-rah guy in the locker room. It’s on the ice where communication is vital – especially for a defenseman who plays with a different partner from game to game or even shift to shift.

And one other thing that plays into Leddy’s game: “Demanding the puck,” he said.

“I’ve really been trying to be more demanding. I think I’ve gotten better at it.”

As a puck-moving defenseman, the more Leddy has the puck the better. He took two big shots against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night and the Hawks scored off both in their 5-3 victory at Staples Center. Marcus Kruger redirected one for a tiebreaking goal late in the second period.

And the other beat Jonathan Quick to give the Hawks a 4-2 lead in the third period.

“Both times he one-timed the puck,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “He should be looking for that type of shot continously, because there’s no shooting lanes anymore. The number of people blocking shots, and the action you get off one-timers creates a lot of activity.

“We’ll take any kind of production, but Nick has the ability to do a lot of those

at Anaheim, 9 p.m. Wednesday, WGN, AM-720 things with the puck. Shooting is one thing that should complement his offensive ability.”

The goal was Leddy’s first in 18 games. He has seven goals, 17 assists and is a plus13 for the season – not exactly breakout numbers. But enough improvement to keep the Hawks satisfied.

Leddy had six goals and 18 points and was a plus-15 in 48 games last season. But he struggled in the playoffs – no goals, two assists and a minus-8 as his playing time dipped to token minutes in the Stanley Cup Final.

“He’s on a steady course here,” Quenneville said. “I think he’s been on the right track. We like the progress.”

Teammate Michal Rozsival has noticed the difference in Leddy this season.

“You can definitely feel him being more comfortable, more confident, being more vocal,” Rozsival said. “His offensive game has always been there. But he’s getting much better defensively. He’s reading the play better in the defensive zone, strong in the corners, winning one-on-one battles and creating turnovers. That’s the biggest improvement since last year.”

It’s hard to tell what it is that makes Leddy tick. But the two-point night against the Kings couldn’t hurt.

“It’s huge any time you can help the team win,” Leddy said. “[Scoring] is part of my job description. It definitely gives me a lot of confidence. Shooting the puck more is something I’ve been working on a lot. That creates more chances not only for me, but for my teammates.”

Sixty-eight percent of respondents said it won’t matter if they know the results before broadcasts, and only 20 percent of those planning to watch will actively avoid learning of the results of events they care about before the telecasts.

Although 61 percent of whites are interested in following the Olympics, the percentage among nonwhites dips to 43 percent. Sixty-nine percent from households with incomes of $100,000 or more plan to watch, with 26 percent in that group intending to avoid spoilers.

Figure skating is by far the most

popular Winter Olympic sport, with 24 percent citing it as their favorite. A mixed team event was added this year in figure skating, which has competitive events on 11 of the Olympics’ 18 days.

Ice hockey is a distant second at 6 percent, followed by Alpine skiing and snowboarding at 4 percent each. Forty-six percent of respondents said they have no preference.

Among those planning to watch or follow, the percentage identifying figure skating as their favorite rises to 35 percent. There’s a gender gap, however, with 55 percent of women who plan to watch calling figure skating their favorite, compared with 15 percent of men.

Among men, ice hockey runs even with figure skating; 16 percent call it their favorite.

NEW YORK – Just more than half of Americans surveyed plan to watch or follow the Winter Olympics, according to an Associated Press-GfK Poll, and one-third of respondents said they have only a little or no confidence about Russia’s ability to safeguard safety at the Sochi Games that start this week.

The likely audience for the Olympics is on the older side, with 65 percent age 50 or over planning to follow the quadrennial event compared with 47 percent among younger adults, according to the survey, conducted from Jan. 17-21.

Few are deeply confident Russia can keep the games safe: 19 percent are extremely or very confident Russia will protect the Olympics from terrorist attacks, 46 percent are somewhat confident and 33 percent just a little or not at all confident.

Asked how they would follow the games, 86 percent who said they would follow plan to watch events on TV, while 17 percent intend to view online streams. Thirty-five percent said they will read about the results online and 20 percent in newspapers.

There’s a broad age gap, with one-third younger than age 40 planning to follow online streams and only 9 percent aiming to follow the Olympics in newspapers. Among senior citizens, 37 percent intend to read about the games in newspapers.

WISCONSIN 75, ILLINOIS 63

8-game skid Illini’s longest in 40 years

By STEVE GREENBERG

Next

sgreenberg@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Illinois took the court against Wisconsin here Tuesday night under circumstances that were vastly different than those when the teams’ first met in Madison on Jan. 4.

And not just because of the six or more inches of snow on the ground.

Combined, the Illini and Badgers were an impressive 28-2 entering that contest. Since then, they’ve been the Big Ten’s worst team (Illinois) and its most disappointing (Wisconsin), somehow losing 12 of 13 games between them before Tuesday.

The Illini (13-10, 2-8 Big Ten) were blown out by 25 points that night in Madison, and now they officially have gone longer than

at Penn St., 3:15 p.m. Sunday, BTN, AM-670

a month without a victory. In the process, they’ve gone from ranked in the Top 25 to historically unsuccessful. After falling again to the Badgers, 75-63, they have the program’s first eight-game losing streak in 40 years.

Not to belabor the point, but a month is a heck of a long time. To put it in context, Illini shooting guard Rayvonte Rice led all Big Ten players in scoring at the start of this losing streak. Five different players around the league have passed him since.

Or to look at it another way: It would take an unbeaten month – maybe longer than that – before John Groce’s team could even imagine being ranked again.

The NCAA tournament? Let’s not even go there.

The NIT? Let’s go ahead and call it NIT or bust.

But also understand this: Groce remains as confident and driven as ever. With not only the season slipping away, but surely some of the momentum created last season by a first-year coach on a surprising run to the Big Dance, Groce is grabbing Illini Nation by the chin and refusing to let that chin sag.

“We’re in the [same] position right where we were from the beginning, knowing that we’re going to do something special here,” Groce said this week. “It’s going to happen. It’s

not a matter of if. It’s when.”

It might seem far off to Illini fans who’ve been frustrated with this team’s absence of dependable offense or late-game execution.

Certainly, it would seem far off to anyone who has been paying only casual attention to a string of January (and February) failures that have led Illinois into the conference basement.

There are those who believe – with good reason – that next season could be entirely different for Illinois. The best players from this team will be back. The newcomers could be outstanding. You want something fair to put on Groce? He absolutely should get his team to the NCAAs a year from now.

He never would reveal his own timeline, other than to say the effort to get somewhere better is constant.

Anchovies move mainstream Chefs embrace salty little fish across menus

By MICHELE KAYAL The Associated Press

M

aligned and misunderstood, anchovies long have been those stinky little fish that sneak into Caesar salad or top some adventurous person’s pizza.

“My father would eat them out of a can,” New Orleans restaurateur and TV chef John Besh said.

“If Dad was going hunting, he’d grab a can of smoked oysters or anchovies and crackers, and that would be his lunch.”

But today, chefs such as Besh have moved anchovies to the top of the food chain, showcasing them as elegant bar snacks, sophisticated bruschetta or the foundation for pasta dishes and stews.

“They make friends and enemies quickly,” said Seamus Mullen, chef-owner of Tertulia in New York City. “A bad anchovy is not a good thing. It’s a question of making sure you get the right ones.”

Getting the “right” anchovies has become much easier in recent years. The mushy, salty tinned anchovies eaten by Besh’s father are still out there. But more and more, the shelves of gourmet stores and upscale supermarkets offer high-quality anchovies preserved in olive oil, pickled in vinegar or sometimes even fresh.

More menus feature items such as “boquerones,” white anchovies, often dressed with vinegar. Fresh anchovies might be cooked over a wood fire or dressed with breadcrumbs and garlic. Sometimes, anchovies go undercover. Besh uses them as what he calls “nature’s MSG,” melting them into beef daube and lamb stew to intensify the savory flavors.

Nick Stefanelli, executive chef at Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca in Washington, D.C., uses them to make an ancient Roman fish sauce called garum.

“One of the most classic pasta

Use a fork to poke the potatoes all over, then place them directly on the rack inside the oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or

“What we are seeing right now in the U.S. is a food revolution where people want to know more about food.”

– Jose Andres Chef and entrepreneur dishes is spaghetti with fish sauce, garlic and chilies,” said Stefanelli, who includes the dish on his tasting menus. “The product itself really takes it where it needs to be. ... It’s so simple and beautiful.”

Anchovies have been a staple of Italian, Spanish and Provencal French cooking for centuries.

French and Italian country stews use them to provide umami, a sense of meatiness and depth.

They are made into marinades and tapenades, tossed into pasta and mixed with garlic, breadcrumbs and parsley to stuff vegetables, such as peppers and eggplant. In Spain, they are among the finest tapas.

“In Spain, you can go into any tapas bar, and you’ll see anchovies all over the menu,” chef-entrepreneur Jose Andres said via email from Spain. “What we are seeing right now in the U.S. is a food revolution where people want to know more about food and so as that is happening people are becoming more and more open to new ingredients and experiences.”

Not that you’ll see anchovies in the fast food lane any time soon.

But as more and better quality anchovies become available, they’re likely to play a bigger role on supermarket shelves and upscale menus. But in the wider world, they may hang out on pizza and Caesar salad a bit longer. Which is not such a bad thing.

“The Caesar salad with anchovies, when done well,” Mullen said, “is pretty darn good.”

until the potatoes are tender. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze open each of the potatoes to create a deep cavity.

Cut the burrata balls in half, using care to lose none of the cream in the center.

Place a piece of burrata inside each of the potatoes, followed by a bit of lemon zest, a few anchovies and a sprinkle of pine nuts. Season with salt and black pepper, as desired.

Mullen suggests topping a buttered rye cracker with an anchovy and a drizzle of vinegar.

“The fatty butter goes a long way to temper the anchovy and gives it luxurious mouth feel,” he said.

“Boom, 10 minutes you have dinner,” he said.

GO BASIC Cut up a head of cauliflower and boil some pasta, said Nick Stefanelli, executive chef at Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca in Washington, D.C. When the pasta is almost cooked, throw the cauliflower into the water. Heat olive oil, garlic, anchovies, raisins and pine nuts in a skillet. Drain the pasta and cauliflower and toss with

GET FRUIT “Anchovies pair really well with fruit like a nectarine or clementine,” chef-entrepreneur Jose Andres said.

“The fruit complements the sweetness and saltiness of the anchovy.”

Cut the fruit into small pieces and top with a dressing or anchovies and sherry vinegar.

STUFF IT Stuff zucchini flowers with mozzarella and anchovies, suggested Italian cookbook writer Michele Scicolone. Dip them in a light batter and fry until the cheese melts and the outside is crisp.

Sausage Borscht AP photo

Get in the Olympic spirit with borscht

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Borscht is woefully underappreciated in America. This classic dish from Russia (and much of Eastern Europe, in fact) not only is a great way to eat a ton of vegetables, it also can be incredibly delicious.

But it generally has a bad reputation. People think of it as a cold, stringy and mostly bland soup.

While it can be served cold, that’s by no means the rule. And as for the stringy and bland part, no way.

Borscht can get a stringy or mushy texture if it’s overcooked. But so can pasta, so it’s really just a matter of paying attention.

And if you’ve had a bland borscht, you just haven’t had a good one.

The key is to start it off right – a nicely sautéed onion and spicy pork sausage. They add tons of flavor and a great hit of protein that makes this a substantial soup that can stand in as full meal.

Dill and fennel seeds also amp the flavor. Round it out with fresh

dill and sour cream, and you’ll learn to love borscht as an easy weeknight meal.

Sausage Borscht Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 6 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large red onion, thinly sliced 1 pound loose spicy pork sausage meat 1 teaspoon fennel seeds 1/2 teaspoon dill seeds 1 quart beef stock

Artichoke spinach dip finds its healthier side Is there a chip dip in the world that isn’t wonderful?

No matter what the flavor, at heart most are tubs of sour cream or melted cheese. Few foods are more satisfying.

Of course, most dips also are notoriously heavy with fat and calories. Indeed, that’s why we love them. Still, I figured there must be ways to lighten them up while retaining their luxurious texture.

I started by bulking up on the vegetables – in this case, artichokes and spinach.

Artichokes happen to contain many nutrients and a ton of fiber. I chose canned artichokes rather than frozen because the canned are packed in citric acid, which gives them a lemony kick.

But why frozen spinach instead of fresh? A cup of frozen spinach boasts more than four times the nutrients of a cup of fresh spinach. It’s kind of hard to beat. And all I had to do was defrost it and squeeze it out.

Easy.

Now for the cheese. I started with Neufchatel, a French cream cheese that has onethird less fat than the full-fat version, but more flavor than the no-fat version. Then I added some low-fat sour cream for tang and a tiny bit of low-fat mayonnaise for the oil. You’re welcome to substitute extravirgin olive oil, if you’d like.

Finally, there’s some Parmigiano-Reggiano, which bristles with so much flavor and salt that just a little bit of it – an ounce in this case – will do the trick. The full-fat version of this dip usually includes moz-

Serve this dip with a healthy cracker (just read the label) or make your own pita crisps. Then go ahead and indulge yourself.

Hot and Spicy Artichoke Spinach Dip Start to finish: 55 minutes (35 active) Makes about 4 cups 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 cups finely chopped yellow onion 1 tablespoon minced garlic 13.75-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 4 ounces Neufchatel (low-fat cream cheese) 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise 1 ounce freshly grated ParmigianoReggiano (about 3/4 cup grated using a wand-style grater) 1/2 cup medium chopped mild Peppadew peppers (about 2 ounces), or medium chopped roasted red peppers 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste Kosher salt Crackers or low-fat pita crisps, to serve Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

I called my ex and told him I was having a baby with another man because I wanted to hurt him. Apparently it worked – at least that’s what his best friend told me.

Now that a few months have passed, I ran into my ex and all those loving feelings I had for him came rushing back.

Should I tell him? The father of this baby is a good-for-nothing deadbeat.

What should I do about my feelings for my ex, and what should I do about the father of my baby? – Can’t Decide In

New Jersey Dear Can’t Decide: It is time for you to grow up and accept responsibility for the situation you’re in right now. Your behavior has been immature and irresponsible. The child you’re carrying is going to need someone who can provide for him or her financially and emotionally.

Because you have feelings for your ex, contact him and let him know, but don’t count on him wanting to reconcile. Then you should contact a lawyer about ensuring “Babydaddy” lives up to his financial responsibilities.

And in the future, when you decide to have sex with someone, recognize there could be consequences and use birth

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips control. Every time.

Dear Abby: Recently my mother and I got into an argument on a four-hour road trip.

She didn’t like my opinions or my answers, so she kicked my 17-year-old daughter and me out of her vehicle and abandoned us in an unsafe neighborhood two hours from our home. Luckily, my son was able to retrieve us.

She has done this twice before, and I have yet to hear an apology from her for dumping us on the curb.

I have decided this is the last time this will happen to me. I no longer speak to her and won’t allow my daughter to go anywhere with her for fear she will be dumped somewhere unsafe. My other kids – ages 21 and 22 – say I should get over it.

Was cutting her off a reasonable response? – Thumbin’ For

A Ride Dear Thumbin’: Your mother appears to have a short fuse and poor judgment.

Is cutting her off a reasonable response? I think so.

Dumping someone in an unsafe neighborhood could get the person killed, something we see all too often in the media.

If you ever decide to relent,

however, and go anywhere with her, make sure you are the one behind the wheel because it’s clear Mama can’t be trusted when she’s in the driver’s seat.

Dear Abby: My family and I moved to Iowa when I was in high school to be closer to the other side of the family.

Because we had lived in California, we didn’t interact much with our Iowa family.

So now, even though we have been back in Iowa for the last eight years, they still forget our birthdays and don’t include us in family get-togethers. How should I deal with this situation? – Excluded In The

Hawkeye State Dear Excluded: It appears you’re being punished for the “sins” of your parents. (Could there have been some friction with the Iowa relatives that caused the move to California?)

All you can do is talk to them and see if you can improve the situation. Consider inviting them to your family get-togethers and you may get a positive response.

However, if they are not receptive, then it will be up to you to create a “replacement” family out of the people you have become close to in your community since your return.

Dear Dr. K: What is mononucleosis, and why is it called the “kissing disease”?

Dear Reader: Mononucleosis, or “mono,” is an illness caused by several viruses, primarily the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Mono was nicknamed the “kissing disease” because EBV commonly is transmitted during kissing.

The virus lives in different parts of the body, including the throat. The virus can leave throat cells and enter the saliva.

Most viruses that infect us enter our body, cause temporary illness, and then get killed by the immune system. EBV is different. It is a member of the herpesvirus family, a cousin to the virus that causes cold sores and genital sores. Once any member of the herpesvirus family infects you, it remains in your body for the rest of your life. The immune system can suppress it, but cannot eliminate it.

In the United States, most people get infected with EBV when they are teenagers or young adults. When a person is first infected with EBV, the virus does not always cause mononucleosis.

Sometimes EBV causes only a mild illness or no illness at all. When EBV does cause mono, the first symptoms typically include fever,

11 percent of people with new EBV infections leading to mono developed chronic fatigue syndrome and remained ill a year or more after the initial infection.

There is no medical cure for mononucleosis. Most treatment focuses on making the person more comfortable. Recovery usually calls for getting plenty of rest and fluids and treating symptoms. Cold drinks, frozen desserts and gargling with salt water can help to relieve minor sore throat pain. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help fight fever and body aches. Prednisone can shrink extremely swollen tonsils.

This disease is most contagious during its acute stage, when the affected person still has a fever. The patient does not need to be kept isolated from others, but he or she should avoid kissing others while feeling ill. Also avoid sharing food, drinks or eating utensils during the first few weeks of the illness.

So the “kissing disease” is real. But kissing is rarely a danger to your health.

headaches, muscle aches and unusual fatigue. The fatigue may be overwhelming, compelling a person to sleep for 12 to 16 hours at a stretch.

These symptoms are quickly followed by sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, joint aches, loss of appetite, a red rash (usually on the chest), abdominal pain and an enlarged spleen.

The spleen is a small organ near the stomach.

In rare cases, an enlarged spleen can rupture, causing life-threatening internal bleeding. It is important to protect the spleen from rupture. A person who develops mono should avoid strenuous activities, especially contact sports, for at least four weeks. They should wait even longer if their doctor finds their spleen is still enlarged.

Symptoms usually are most intense during the first two to four weeks of the illness. But some symptoms, especially fatigue, can last for several months or longer. A study published in 2006, organized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that

Put protein in the vegetarian mix

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post Protein is the bugaboo of the vegetarian diet. The most common question I hear, tinged with anxiety, is: “Where do you get your protein?”

The thing is, protein comes from many more plant-based sources than you might think. It’s not just from tofu, tempeh, beans and seeds, although those provide plenty. The category that home cooks seem to forget all too easily is that of whole grains.

I know, I know: Of course, there’s quinoa, the most protein-packed of all – although it’s technically a seed, not a grain, and I, for one, am not the biggest fan. I like to stick with the bigger grains, such as farro, barley and wheat berries.

The best answer to the question, I’ve found, is a mix, especially because grains don’t offer nearly as much protein per serving as your average piece of fish or chicken.

But when I let go of the idea that every meal needs to be dominated by a single protein provider and instead stack things up, I like the results so much better.

Take a barley salad, for instance. Sure, I can put broiled tofu in the bowl, but when I also drizzle on a miso dressing and sprinkle sesame seeds on top (not to mention the additions of broccolini and baby spinach), the number of protein sources multiplies right along with the flavors and textures.

That way, you’re not just getting your protein; you’re loving it, too.

Broiling the tofu with a little of the miso dressing gives it a chewy exterior, good for building a hearty salad. More protein is added in the form of barley and sesame seeds.

You can buy sesame seeds already toasted, or you can toast your own.

Barley, Tofu and Spinach Salad With Miso Dressing 4 servings 14 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu 1 tablespoon olive oil 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 cup pearled barley, briefly rinsed 2 cups no-salt-added vegetable broth 2 tablespoons water 1/4 cup white or yellow miso 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese cooking wine) 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1 bunch broccolini Flesh from 1 small avocado, sliced 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted Drain the tofu, wrap it in paper towels and set it on a rimmed plate. Top with a second plate, then put a can of tomatoes or beans or another heavy object on top, and press it for about 30 minutes to remove extra liquid.

Unwrap and pat the tofu dry.

Barley, Tofu and Spinach Salad With Miso Dressing Washington Post photo

Pour the oil into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Once the oil shimmers, add the ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the barley and cook, stirring, until well coated, then add the broth. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low so the mixture is barely bubbling around the edges.

Cook, uncovered, until the barley is al dente, about 25 minutes.

Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Cover to keep warm, if desired.

Whisk together the water, miso, mirin, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl to form a dressing.

Position an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element; preheat to broil.

Cut the drained, pressed tofu block into 1/2-inch slabs. Arrange them on a large rimmed baking sheet, along with the broccolini.

Brush the tofu lightly with the miso dressing. Broil the tofu and broccolini until both are browned, 5 minutes, then transfer the broccolini to a cutting board, chop it

Discover the

and transfer it to the mixing bowl with the barley. Turn the tofu slabs over, brush with more of the miso dressing, and continue broiling until browned on the second side, 5 minutes.

Transfer the broiled tofu to the cutting board; let it cool slightly, then cut each slab into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Add the tofu, avocado, baby spinach and the remaining miso dressing to the barley in the mixing bowl; toss gently to combine.

Toast the sesame seeds in

a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant and lightly browned, shaking the pan a few times to avoid scorching.

Cool completely before using.

Divide salad among individual bowls or plates; sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.

Company founder Bill Gates is leaving the chairman role for a new role as technology adviser. Microsoft has named Satya Nadella, an executive in charge of the company’s small, but growing business of delivering software and services over the Internet, its new CEO. in making the industry’s leading productivity software package, Office.

“We need to be able to pick the unique contribution that we want to make,” he said. “That’s where our heritage of having been the productivity company ... is what we want to get focused on.”

Gates, meanwhile, will remain on the company’s board. The new Microsoft chairman will be board member John Thompson, who led the search for a new CEO after Ballmer said in August that he planned to step down.

Thompson said Nadella was the board’s “first and unanimous choice.” Other candidates considered included Ford CEO Alan Mulally and other insiders such as Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner and former Skype head Tony Bates.

Nadella has “the right background to lead the company in this era,” Gates said in a video message.

WASHINGTON – U.S. manufacturers saw orders for their products decline in December by the largest amount in five months, although the setback for a key category that tracks business investment was not as large as first reported.

Orders to U.S. factories fell 1.5 percent in December, the biggest drop since July, with much of the weakness coming from a plunge in aircraft orders, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.

Orders had risen 1.5 percent in November after a 0.5 percent October decrease.

Orders in a closely watched category that serves as a proxy for business investment declined 0.6 percent, a smaller fall than the 1.3 percent drop estimated in a preliminary report last week. The decrease followed a sizable 3 percent jump in November, an increase spurred by an expiring tax break.

Demand for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years,

By RYAN NAKASHIMA LOS ANGELES – Microsoft has named the head of its cloud computing business as the company’s next CEO, tapping a longtime insider to lead efforts to catch rivals in mobile devices and offer more software and services over the Internet.

Satya Nadella replaces Steve Ballmer immediately to become only the third chief executive in Microsoft’s 38-year history. Company founder and first CEO Bill Gates is leaving his role as chairman to serve as an adviser. He will spend a third of his time working on future products and technology.

Nadella, 46, most recently headed the company’s small but growing cloud computing unit, in which customers buy software and services housed on distant servers connected to the Internet. It’s a departure from Microsoft’s roots making software installed directly on personal computers.

In addition to growing that business, one of Nadella’s first tasks as CEO will be the completion of Microsoft Inc.’s $7.3 billion purchase of Nokia’s phone business and patent rights – part of a plan to boost Windows Phone software in a market dominated by iPhones and Android devices.

The direction points the company toward an orbit occupied by rivals Google Inc., Apple Inc. and Amazon. com Inc. and away from the core PC business that has been Microsoft’s mainstay.

“Going forward, it’s a mobile-first, cloud-first world,” Nadella said in a video accompanying the announcement Tuesday.

Nadella, who has worked at Microsoft for 22 years, vowed to remove any obstacles that prevent the company from innovating and said he would capitalize on Microsoft’s experience

CRYSTAL LAKE – Texas Roadhouse, 385 Cog Circle, will opens its 306-seat restaurant Feb. 24, according to city officials.

The southwestern-themed steakhouse has taken over the space formerly occupied by T.G.I. Friday’s near the intersection of Routes 14 and 31.

Texas Roadhouse is a casual dining restaurant chain known for its free peanuts, country music and lively atmosphere.

The Kentucky-based chain has more than 400 locations in 48 states and two international locations in Dubai and Kuwait.

The walls of the chain’s restaurants feature murals specifically designed for the local community, and each is approved by Kent Taylor, the company’s founder and chairman, according to a company fact sheet.

Texas Roadhouse first announced plans for the Crystal Lake restaurant in late 2012. T.G.I. Friday’s closed its doors June 30.

fell 4.2 percent, slightly less than the 4.3 percent preliminary estimate.

Orders for nondurable goods such as chemicals, paper and food rose 1.1 percent in December after a 0.4 percent November gain.

Analysts say part of the weakness in December reflected a temporary slowdown following a rush to purchase capital goods in November to take advantage of expiring federal tax breaks.

Orders for all of 2013 totaled $5.82 trillion, up 2.5 percent from 2012, as manufacturing continued to recover from the Great Recession.

Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services, said he expects that manufacturing will expand this year at about the same pace as the overall economy, which analysts are forecasting will gain momentum this year.

“Consumers are gradually increasing their spending, releasing some of the pent-up demand that has developed for big-ticket items, such as cars and trucks, after being cautious with purchases since the Great Recession,” Faucher said. “Better

growth overseas is also boosting demand for U.S. manufacturers.”

For December, demand for commercial aircraft, a volatile category, fell 17.5 percent after having risen 21.1 percent in November. While the drop in airplane orders led the declines, there was weakness in a number of categories. Orders for iron and steel fell 10 percent while demand for construction machinery was down 2.9 percent and demand for computers and other electronic products fell 6.3 percent.

The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Monday that its index of manufacturing activity fell to 51.3 in January from 56.5 in December. It was the lowest reading since May although any reading above 50 signals growth in manufacturing.

The January performance of the ISM index suggests that U.S. manufacturing slowed at the beginning of this year.

Auto sales have decelerated and businesses are spending cautiously on machinery and other large factory goods.

MCC Small Business Center gets grant McHENRY – The Illinois Small Business Development Center at McHenry County College received a $17,500 grant from Castle Bank to help fund additional services and educational seminars to small-business owners and entrepreneurs.

The funding came through the Friends of MCC Foundation.

“These funds will go a long way in providing additional services to ISBDC clients and more support for small businesses in our community,” Kristi Patterson, manager of Illinois Small Business Development Center at MCC, said in a news release.

The funding came through the Community Reinvestment Act, which encourages banks to invest in their communities.

Castle Bank also supports other small-business centers in the area.

The Illinois Small Business Development Center at MCC is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Don’t shortchange your retirement plan contribution For the past few years, leaner times have forced many people to juggle everyday expenses and find ways to trim the family budget.

Everything from cutting out specialty coffee drinks and expensive vacations to buying more economical cars and dwellings have been calculated and discussed at kitchen tables across the country.

But when it comes to finding additional areas to cut expenses, don’t make the mistake of scrimping on your tax-advantaged retirement plan contribution. Making your annual contribution to a tax-advantaged retirement plan, including 401(k) and 403(b) plans, can reduce your current income tax and allow your account to grow tax-deferred.

According to the 2012 Wells Fargo Retirement Survey conducted by

Harris Interactive, Americans say the 401(k) is the “best retirement savings vehicle,” followed by the IRA and a savings account. Thirty-four percent of Americans who have a 401(k) available through their employer are saving between 3 percent and 5 percent in their plan, and 32 percent are saving between 6 percent and 10 percent. Those contributing to a 401(k) report more companies are offering the match (77 percent) this year versus 66 percent a year ago.

Yet, as much as the tax savings makes sense, when the budget is pinched, you may be tempted to skip

AARP program offers tax help to seniors The NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County district of AARP Tax-Aide, a program co-sponsored

by AARP and the IRS, is offering free tax preparation for lower-income seniors.

Tax sites opened Feb. 4 and are taking appointments at area locations until April 11, said Jim Zoellick, district director for McHenry County.

In McHenry, services are being offered at First Midwest Bank, 3510 W. Elm St., on Tuesdays and Fridays. For information, call 815-451-1578.

In Woodstock, services are at the Woodstock Library, 414 W. Judd St., on Tuesdays and Fridays.

For information, call 815344-3555.

In Crystal Lake, services are at Algonquin Township, 3702 Route 14, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For information, call 847-639-2700.

your retirement plan contribution this year. For your own financial well-being, please don’t. Here are three common excuses for not contributing to your retirement plan this year and an equal number of counterpoints to suggest why you should.

Excuse No. 1: My company won’t match my contribution this year.

Counterpoint: Companies that normally match their employees’ contributions to retirement plans may suspend their match in a year when company profitability is under pressure. The fact is, you compound the gap in retirement growth income if you follow suit and fail to make a current-year contribution.

Excuse No. 2: We’re trying to put more money in the bank.

Counterpoint: The money you put away in an individual or joint

brary, 801 N. Main St., services will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

For information, call 847526-6225.

In Huntley, services will be at Heartland Bank, 12101 Regency Parkway, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Stop in to make an appointment.

The program is for people age 60 or older with incomes of less than $60,000.

The program does not cover business income, rental real estate or excessive stock sales. Both federal and state returns are electronically filed for faster refunds. Those who used the AARP program last year should return to the same site.

Taxpayers should bring their 2012 tax return and the paperwork that went with it: all W2s, 1099s and financial statements for 2013 (medical expenses, contributions, etc.). If you sold stock, you must know what you paid for it and when. If you have not used AARP tax aide before, you should also bring a photo ID and Social Security Card for each taxpayer.

All sites will close April 11.

account is after-tax money and the interest earned on the account is also subject to tax. In a 30 percent tax bracket, it would take $1,428 of pre-tax dollars to equal a contribution of $1,000 in a tax-deferred retirement account. What’s more, that doesn’t account for the taxes you’d pay on interest earned in your taxable account.

Excuse No. 3: I’ll catch up on retirement savings next year when the economy improves.

Counterpoint: If you normally contribute the maximum contribution limits, you will not catch up. The maximum amount you can personally contribute to a 401(k) plan is $17,500 in 2014 on a pre-tax basis. If you are older than 50, you can also make a catch-up contribution up to a maximum of $5,500. Just keep in

mind that once you miss making a maximum annual contribution, you cannot make it up due to annual contribution limits.

Think about making your retirement plan contribution and err on the side of retirement preparedness.

Skipping out on retirement contributions now can make it difficult if not impossible later to go back and make up the shortfall.

Microsoft late adapting to changes starting in the late 1980s. Microsoft’s coffers swelled as more individuals and businesses bought personal computers.

But Microsoft has been late adapting to changes in the technology industry as PC sales declined. It allowed Google to dominate in online search and advertising, and it watched as iPhones, iPads and Android devices grew. Microsoft’s attempts to manufacture its own devices have been marred by problems, from its quickly aborted Kin line of phones to its still-unprofitable line of Surface tablets.

Analysts see hope in some of the businesses Nadella had a key role in creating.

Microsoft’s cloud computing offering, Azure, and its push to have consumers buy Office software as a $100-a-year Office 365 subscription are seen as the biggest drivers of Microsoft’s growth in the next couple of years. Both businesses saw the number of customers more than double in the last three months of the year, compared with a year earlier.

Nadella “was really one of the people who helped build up the commercial muscle,” said Kirk Materne, an analyst with Evercore Partners. “He has a great understanding of what’s going on in the cloud and the importance of delivering more technology as a service.”

Michael Turits, an analyst with Raymond James, said

• MICROSOFT Continued from page E1 In four years as division president, he helped grow that business into one with $20 billion in annual revenue – about a quarter of Microsoft’s total revenue in the most recent fiscal year.

For the past seven months, he was the executive vice president who led Microsoft’s cloud computing offerings.

Nadella’s new cloud enterprise group also has been growing strongly, more than doubling customers in the latest quarter – although it remains a small part of Microsoft’s current business.

Analysts hope that Nadella can maintain the company’s momentum in cloud computing services and business software while minimizing the negative effect of Microsoft’s unprofitable forays into consumer hardware. It’s a transition IBM Corp. succeeded in making in the 1990s, but that companies such as Hewlett Packard Co. and Dell Inc. have struggled with.

Nadella’s appointment comes at a time of turmoil for Microsoft.

Founded in 1975 by Gates and Paul Allen, the company has always made software that powered computers made by others – first with its MS-DOS system, then with Windows and its Office productivity suite

that Nadella will likely view the Nokia acquisition and the Surface tablet as pawns to help drive Microsoft’s cloud computing business.

“Whatever strategic decisions are made, we like the idea that someone like Satya would most likely make them with an eye to preserving and optimizing the value of those enterprise businesses,” Turits said.

Nadella is a technologist, fulfilling the requirement that Gates set out at the company’s November shareholder meeting, where the Microsoft chairman said the company’s new leader must have “a lot of comfort in leading a highly technical organization.”

Born in Hyderabad, India, in 1967, Nadella received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Mangalore University, a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and a master’s of business administration from the University of Chicago.

He joined Microsoft in 1992 after being a member of the technology staff at Sun Microsystems.

Partly because of Nadella’s insider status and the fact that both Gates and Ballmer will remain among Microsoft’s largest shareholders and, for now, company directors, analysts are not expecting a quick pivot in the strategy of making tablets and mobile devices.

8IN BRIEF Bargain-hunting drives slight gains for stocks Investors went hunting for bargains a day after U.S. stocks racked up the biggest losses in more than seven months.

The buying helped lift major stock indexes out of the red on Tuesday. Prices of U.S. government bonds fell. The mini-rebound seemed fragile at times, with the market giving up some of its earlier gains by late afternoon.

Markets were coming off a 326-point drop in the Dow Jones industrial average on Monday, and the blue-chip index’s worst January performance in five years prompted by disappointing news about U.S. manufacturing.

“It was the biggest hole we’ve seen for quite a bit, so it’s not surprising to see a green day after a couple days of red,” said Andres Garcia-Amaya, a global market strategist with J.P. Morgan Funds.

Portfolio managers seized on the aftermath of Monday’s sell-off to buy, even as many stock watchers acknowledged that the market could still be in for a correction, or a drop of at least 10 percent.

Among the biggest gainers on the day were fashion retailer Michael Kors Holdings, water technology provider Xylem and the owner of Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell restaurant chains.

In “The Merchant of Venice,” William Shakespeare wrote, “At the length, the truth will out.”

Whenever you play bridge, dwell at length on your long suits because, in truth, they will usually generate extra tricks. Some players are too wedded to high-card points and forget to add value for a long suit.

When I watched this deal being played, I liked South’s one-no-trump response. His hand was so soft, with defensive, not offensive, values.

(He thought about passing, but no one would do that today.) Then North surprised me by raising to two no-trump.

Yes, he had only 17 high-card points, but he should have added two points for his sixcard suit and jumped to three no-trump.

True, if West had been psychic and led a diamond, the contract would probably have gone down two. But he understandably chose a spade, selecting the 10, showing zero or two higher honors by partnership agreement.

South won with his queen and played a club to dummy’s queen.

East should have ducked

this, which would have perhaps tempted South into an indiscretion. (He might have, for example, played a heart to his queen. Then West could have won and returned to a heart.) However, East won the trick and shifted to a low heart. West won with his ace and returned a heart. In the fullness of time, declarer took nine tricks.

It would have been much better play for South to have led his club jack at trick two, so he could have stayed in his hand to repeat the club inesse if it were winning (or, here, East ducked).

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Push a little harder and prepare to excel in the coming year. Interacting with others will help open windows of opportunity, allowing you to get the results you seek. To ensure your success, pick up new skills or information that will keep you ahead of the pack.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should involve yourself in physical activities that will help you get into shape. You will also find time to catch up on overdue correspondence.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Improve your surroundings. Invest in items that will add to your comfort.

Use your skills to gain respect and recognition. Invest in yourself in order to excel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can outtalk and outsmart anyone who challenges you. Present your ideas and concerns before you agree to take on a job or responsibility. Get whatever agreement you make in writing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your best efforts will be appreciated and lead to greater opportunity.

Follow the direction that is best suited to your talents and skills. Keep your private affairs to yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Rise to the occasion.

Put your energy to good use. Take the extra step if it will help you finish what you start. Your versatility and quick action will attract an interesting someone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Confusion or uncertainty must not be what stands between you and a decision that can alter your future. Evaluate your position and make a move. Avoid excessive individuals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get ready for action and take on responsibility. Your leadership ability may be challenged, but in the end you will come out on top.

Show enthusiasm if you want to attract attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Deal with personal business that has the potential to influence your financial future. An older friend or relative is likely to challenge one of your decisions. Patience will be required.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Travel for business or pleasure will lead to information and the ability to make a good decision. Don’t share the information that you discover until you feel you are in a strong position.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Do whatever it takes to secure money matters and pending legal affairs.

Lending or borrowing will lead to trust issues. Listen carefully to what’s being offered and respond accordingly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Mix business with pleasure, network, share ideas and -- most of all -- build good relationships. An adventure or business trip will grab your attention and offer new possibilities. Jump into action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Get down to business and smooth out any wrinkles in a presentation you want to make. Attention to detail will make the difference between success and failure. Avoid joint ventures.
