GOP targets lame-duck sessions Ill. House lawmakers file longshot bill to avoid repeat of 2011 tax-hike vote

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Illinois lawmakers have a politically enviable tradition when it comes to unpopular decisions – make them in the lame-duck session after the No-

vember election.

That’s how lawmakers three years ago raised the income tax 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on corporations, with the help of 12 outgoing Democratic lawmakers who provided the bare minimum number of

votes needed. Six of them subsequently ended up receiving high-paying government jobs and the lucrative pensions that come with them.

With the “temporary” tax increase set to start expiring Jan. 1, and worries that cash-

YOUNG PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO FIND JOBS

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Any residents still hoping city staff would find a way to increase the punishment for Sgt. Chip Amati don’t have to wonder any longer.

The city of Woodstock issued a news release Wednesday afternoon that says no further disciplinary action is legally possible, and that the city and City Council won’t consider the issue any further.

The two-page statement also provides an overview of the situation and defends Amati’s 30-day suspension without pay, the much-scrutinized punishment recommended by the police chief and city and handed down by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners in October.

“The decisions of two state’s attorney’s offices to decline to file criminal charges were a major factor in the disciplinary measures recommended and implemented by city staff,” it reads.

Residents had filled the Woodstock City Council chambers at a Dec. 17 meeting, expressing their disgust with the punishment and calling for Amati’s firing.

The council called a special executive session that night to discuss their options to further punish or fire Amati. During that session, they told city staff to research those options, according to the release.

At another executive session at the council’s next meeting on Jan. 21, the City Council discussed the findings of the staff and ultimately decided it could take no further steps, the release said.

Employment rate declines for teens

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Desiree Gomez was 16 and searching.

The Woodstock High School senior remembers the uneasiness that came with her hunt for employment. She’d been clicking around online, typing her name into job search engines. She went to several interviews without a call back.

“I was 16 and so into wanting to get a job, but not knowing what to do,” Gomez said.

It’s a feeling striking many high school teens lately. In Illinois, teen employment rates shrunk to 27 percent in 2012, down from 37 percent in 2006 – before the recession – according to a new report by the Chicago

Progressive tax rate not about fairness SPRINGFIELD – Hang on to your pocketbooks, the politicians are getting restless.

They want more of your money.

Never mind that the Illinois Legislature jacked up your taxes by 67 percent in 2011.

Because of this temporary tax hike, many of us are now paying a full 5 percent of our income to Springfield.

At least the bulk of this tax increase is set to expire in January.

Now they are looking at another tax grab, and this time they are doing it under the guise of “fairness.”

Government worker unions and their political allies are pushing hard for a graduated, or progressive, income tax. What this would mean is that instead of everyone paying the same percentage of his income to the state, the percentage would stair step up as a person earns more money.

Supporters of this idea face a big obstacle: the Illinois Constitution.

The constitution mandates that the state levy the same percentage rate from all taxpayers. So there is a push now to have the Legislature put a measure on the November ballot creating a progressive income tax.

VIEWS Scott Reeder You’ll hear some malarkey about this being about fairness.

Don’t believe it. It’s about money, plain and simple.

The state is looking for ways to collect more, but the politicians can’t just come out and say that so they are using code words like “equitable” or “fair.”

The fact of the matter is, the state already has a progressive income tax.

Don’t believe me?

Well, just consider these numbers: • A household earning $15,000 in Illinois pays on average 1.9 percent of its income to the state.

• A family earning $30,000 pays 2.9 percent.

• A taxpayer earning $75,000 pays 3.8 percent.

What’s happening here is something called the earned income tax credit.

We could get into a long discourse on whether it is good public policy or not. I have my reservations. Regard-

less, Illinois already has a means to give tax breaks to lower-income people and has been employing it quite aggressively for many years.

So this progressive income tax isn’t about giving relief to poor folks – it’s about making middle-class and upper-income people pay more.

In January, the state income tax rate is slated to drop to 3.75 percent from its current temporary level of 5 percent. But guess what? Under a proposal by state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-Champaign, every Illinois family earning $18,000 or more would pay a top rate of 4 percent or more.

I’ve never considered a household making $18,000 per year to be rich. But under Jakobsson’s plan, those families would pay a higher rate next year than they otherwise would. Of course the earned income tax would apply for some of these folks, but still, that’s a pretty low level to start imposing a higher rate.

Her plan also calls for every family earning more than $58,000 to pay a top rate of 6 percent, which is a higher top rate than the current temporary top rate.

And the rates keep ratcheting up

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER John Rung jrung@shawmedia.com 815-459-4040

from there to a full 9 percent.

In fairness, that is only one of the proposals involving a progressive income tax. We really don’t know where the Legislature would set the rates – and whether the voters will give them permission by amending the state constitution.

If other states are any guide, a progressive income tax means a greater burden for middle-class families.

Missouri imposes its highest rate on families earning more than $9,000.

Our neighbor to the west, Iowa, kicks in its highest rate for families making $67,230. Kentucky kicks in its top rate for those families making $75,000.

We aren’t talking about Rockefellers or Vanderbilts here.

A progressive tax isn’t about tax relief for the poor – we already do that through the earned income tax credit.

It’s about collecting more money from more people, folks like you and me.

Mysterious noises traced to rare ‘frost quakes’

By JIM SALTER The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Chuck Herron heard the loud thud, then another and another. It sounded like someone was dropping big snowballs on the roof of his home.

The house is more than 100 years old and creaks, Herron said, but he had “never heard anything like that before.”

As his neighbors in tiny Paris, Mo., huddled around televisions Sunday for the Super Bowl, many were startled by similar strange noises.

Some even saw flashes of light

and called 911.

Scientists say the community experienced a rare natural phenomenon known as a “frost quake,” which happens when moisture in the ground suddenly freezes and expands.

If conditions are just right, the soil or bedrock breaks like a brittle frozen pipe, generating mysterious noises that range from an earthquake-like rumble to sharp cracking sounds sometimes mistaken for falling trees.

This winter has been ripe for frost quakes, known technically as cryoseism. Temperatures have been frigid,

but occasional warm-ups have allowed for thawing. And the temperature swings have sometimes been abrupt.

That was the case last weekend in Missouri, where temperatures in the 40s on Saturday gave way to single-digit readings by Sunday night.

In Mark Twain’s hometown of Hannibal, Mo., 100 miles north of St. Louis, police and emergency dispatches received several calls within about two hours. Facebook feeds were filled with worries.

Some people compared the noise to a sonic boom that rattles windows, said Michael

Hall, executive director of the 911 center that covers the Hannibal area. Others described it as sounding like “somebody banging on their house.”

Missouri isn’t alone. Frost quakes were reported last month in Canada and in several other states – Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin.

In DeKalb, Lisa Kammes and her family were getting ready for bed earlier this winter when the loud popping noises began.

“The louder ones sounded like somebody was throwing snowballs at the house,” Kammes said.

Guns, medical marijuana collide in Ill. rules CHICAGO – Guns and marijuana don’t mix, according to federal authorities, even if the gun is a legally held firearm and the drug is recommended by a doctor.

That interpretation of federal law is turning up in Illinois’ draft medical marijuana regulations to the frustration of patients and caregivers.

As the state launches its first medical cannabis program, firearms ownership is overshadowing other issues such as the $150 proposed annual fee for patients and how new medical conditions would be added to an approved-foruse list.

“People aren’t yelling at me about the $150. They’re yelling at me about this issue,” said

Chris Lindsey, legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project, a national group that supports legally regulated marijuana.

Lindsey said he believes it’s the first time a state agency anywhere in the country “has pointed to a state law and decided that patients may not be able to possess a firearm.” And Karmen Hanson, medical marijuana policy expert for the National Conference of State Legislatures, said she’s not aware of any state laws that address firearms ownership among medical marijuana patients or their caregivers.

Some Illinois patients will continue to use marijuana illegally rather than give up guns, said Julie Falco of Chicago, who speaks openly about how she used cannabis to control pain from multiple sclerosis.

Brian Hilton of Arlington Heights is one of them. He’s a gun owner who wants to use marijuana legally to control pain from a spinal cord injury, but he’s reconsidering applying for a medical marijuana card.

“I would be forced to surrender my gun rights, and that would put my family at great risk,” Hilton said.

The dispute centers on 93 words out of 48 pages of rules proposed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. The wording, in effect, advises gun owners they’ll be in violation of state and federal law if they’re approved for a medical marijuana card and don’t give up their firearms. It says gun owners who obtain medical marijuana cards “may be subject to administrative proceedings by the Illinois State Police if they

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn is getting more time before he delivers his annual budget address. The Chicago Democrat signed legislation Wednesday pushing his annual budget speech from Feb. 19 to March 26. That puts the speech after the March 18 primary election.

Despite objections from Republicans, the state Senate voted 37-15 to pass the measure. The House signed off by a 62-48 vote on Tuesday. State Sen. Matt Murphy of Palatine was among Republicans raising objections, calling the request for more time a “political sham.”

A new report issued Wednesday by the group Gambling Compliance, which tracks gambling-related legislation worldwide, predicts 10 U.S. states will consider bills to legalize or expand Internet gambling this year. Three states now allow it: New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware.

By WAYNE PARRY

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – An Illinois youth center may be violating the constitutional rights of juveniles, according to a report by a correctional system watchdog group. The report findings by the advocacy group, which indicate the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles is understaffed.

The report released Tuesday states the center is low enough on staff that youth are potentially not receiving their constitutional right to an education and mental health treatment. The problems come after the Joliet facility closed, which doubled the population of the St. Charles youth center.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – At least 10 U.S. states are considering bills to legalize or expand Internet gambling this year, according to a group that tracks gambling-related legislation worldwide.

But the Gambling Compliance survey also finds slim chances for a national law to regulate Internet poker, predicting a major effort by online gambling opponents to block it in Congress.

So far, three states allow Internet gambling: New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware.

The report says proposals for new or expanded Internet betting could be considered in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“In 2013, 10 states considered legislation that would legalize online casino-style gambling, which was a historic high,” said Chris Krafcik, the group’s research director. “This year is shaping up to be at least as busy.”

In California, one of the largest potential markets, Indian tribes are trying to agree on how to legalize Internet poker. Tribal leaders from two coalitions met last month and said they made progress but still need more time to work out an accord.

The report said a bill is likely to be acted upon before an Aug. 31 deadline.

A bill in Mississippi that would have legalized Internet gambling died Tuesday when the state legislature failed to act on it.

Lockhart said many things have changed since he first began lobbying in 1958, including increasing amounts of legislation every year and constant fundraising or campaigning for lawmakers.

But he said the importance of integrity and honesty hasn’t changed. That’s one lesson his firm’s vice president Gael Mennecke said she learned right away from Lockhart. At any one time, Lockhart’s firm, Social Engineering Associates, has about 15 clients whom he lobbies for in Springfield, many of which Mennecke described as “do-good” groups.

“He burned into my mind when I was lobbying to always tell the truth. That has served me well not only in lobbying but in all walks of life,” said Mennecke, who has worked with Lockhart since 1974.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – A statewide pension system for local government and school district retirees is paying out bonuses that cost taxpayers more than $41 million last year, according to a newspaper’s review of pension data.

The Arlington Heights Daily Herald added up the costs after examining Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund data that it obtained through an open records request. Known as the “13th payment,” the bonuses paid each July are on top of monthly pension checks and have escaped scrutiny during the Legislature’s efforts to overhaul Illinois’ heavily indebted pension systems. The average bonus for 2013 was around $340, but payments went as high as $7,600, the newspaper said.

SPRINGFIELD – Since spending a bitter-cold winter at a German prison camp during World War II, Dick Lockhart said his feet have ached more when lying in bed on cold nights than when moving around.

This may explain why the 90-year-old lobbyist can still be found wandering the halls of the Illinois Capitol on behalf of clients more than 55 years after getting into the influence game.

The state Senate recognized Lockhart on the chamber floor Wednesday for the decades he has devoted to representing his clients, many of which that advocate for better mental health care and services. And a party was scheduled for later Wednesday to honor Lockhart, who said he works seven days a week and is at the Capitol just about every day that the Leg-

islature is in session.

Lockhart said he doesn’t plan to slow down, which isn’t surprising to those who know him.

“He is simply somebody that you knew was formidable if he opposed you and a good ally if he was with you,” said Jim Fletcher, a lobbyist who has known Lockhart since the late 1960s.

Lockhart was in high school when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He went to Purdue University for a semester before he joined the Army. In the middle of December 1944, Lockhart’s regiment surrendered to the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge, and he was a prisoner of war for four months in a German camp.

He said he didn’t have winterized footwear, which led to the aching he still feels today when his feet aren’t moving.

“I tell people they have a very effective weight reduction plan,” Lockhart said. But

Quinn signs bill delaying budget address

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers are considering legislation that would fill in gaps in the state’s sex offender laws, including one proposal that would bar convicted sex offenders from attending county fairs. The twin pieces of legislation were introduced after lawmakers said they encountered holes in the current statutes, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported. State Rep. Mike Smiddy, a Democrat from Port Byron, said he introduced the measure at the request of officials in Whiteside County. Sex offenders would still be allowed to attend the state fair if the bill passes.

do not voluntarily surrender” their firearms owners ID cards or concealed carry permits.

Caregivers, too, who apply for medical marijuana cards would be required to certify they understand they “may not possess firearms under relevant state and federal laws.”

It’s still unclear how any of this would be enforced.

Sandy Champion of Somonauk owns guns and plans to apply for a caregiver card so she can legally obtain marijuana for her husband, Jim, who has multiple sclerosis. She has no plans to use the drug herself.

“I’m not giving anything up until I’m told I have to,” Sandy Champion said. “But if I have to choose between owning a gun and giving Jim his medicine, I’m going to choose giving him his medicine.”

sider expanding online gambling, which is currently limited to poker.

It predicts Delaware, where Internet gambling is off to a slow start, will seek cross-border agreements with other states to expand the pool of bettors, a tactic New Jersey also is considering. A bill awaiting consideration in the New Jersey legislature would create a new class of licensing to permit interstate and foreign bets to be taken by the Atlantic City casinos.

New Jersey’s 15 Internet gambling sites took in nearly $8.4 million between their late November launch and the end of last year. The state will release January revenue figures next week.

The report holds out little hope for a national bill legalizing Internet poker, noting that it is a midterm election year where anything politically risky is unlikely to be enacted. In fact, it said proponents and opponents of Internet gambling are jockeying for position in the U.S. Senate, which is considering a blanket prohibition on Internet gambling.

That is the goal of Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who is funding a campaign to ban online gambling.

On the pro-Internet gambling side, Caesars Entertainment lobbied more heavily last year than any other group to legalize Internet gambling at the federal level, according to the report.

The report also predicted a handful of other states will consider joining Georgia, Illinois and Minnesota in permitting lottery tickets or games to be purchased or played online.

ANALYSIS

Chorus on Obama’s health law is off key

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – New estimates that President Barack Obama’s health care law will encourage millions of Americans to leave the workforce or reduce their work hours have touched off an I-told-youso chorus from Republicans, who’ve claimed all along that the law will kill jobs. But some aren’t telling it straight.

The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts the law will give several million people an opportunity to work less or not at all, because they won’t be stuck in jobs just for the sake of keeping the health insurance they get from employers. To some Republicans, that amounts to “wreaking havoc on working families,” ‘’dire consequences for workers” and a shower of pink slips across the land – conclusions unsupported by the report.

The study estimates that the workforce will be reduced by the equivalent of 2.3 million full-time workers by 2021 as people choose to leave it. More would take early retirement, work fewer hours or otherwise rearrange their work-home balance to take advantage of new subsidies for health insurance and new markets for individual policies that don’t depend on having a job.

In a key point overlooked in the GOP response, the report says: “The estimated reduction stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply, rather than from a net drop in businesses’ demand for labor.”

As if recognizing that fellow Republicans were getting a bit overheated, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, House Budget Committee chairman, introduced a reality check when questioning Douglas Elmendorf, budget office director, during a hearing Wednesday. “So just to understand this, it’s not that employers are laying people off, it’s that ... people aren’t working in the workforce, aren’t supplying labor,” he posited.

“That is right,” Elmendorf replied.

A look at some of the Republican claims and how they compare with the facts:

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida: “Just yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office found that Obamacare will cost millions of Americans their jobs.”

Rep. John Kline of Minnesota: “The president’s health care law is destroying full-time jobs.... This fatally flawed health care scheme is wreaking havoc on working families nationwide.”

Rer. Phil Gingrey of Georgia: Obamacare creates “unprecedented uncertainty for job creators that, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, will leave millions of people looking for work in the next few years.”

The facts: No one knows whether the health care law will turn out to be good or bad for jobs and the economy.

Everything is guesswork, however educated the guess.

The budget office, generally respected by both sides but not infallible, predicts some elements of the health care law will help job growth and other parts will hurt it.

On the plus side, for example, it expects lower-income people to have more money to spend because more of them will have their health insurance partially or fully paid for by government under the law.

On the negative side, Elmendorf told Ryan’s committee that in the short run, the law would increase employers’ costs for their workers and reduce the number of people they hire. Over time, this could put downward pressure on wages, he said.

U.N. committee blasts Vatican on sex abuse

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – The Vatican “systematically” adopted policies that allowed priests to rape and molest tens of thousands of children over decades, a U.N. human rights committee said Wednesday, urging the Holy See to open its files on pedophiles and bishops who concealed their crimes.

In a devastating report hailed by abuse victims, the U.N. committee severely criticized the Holy See for its attitudes toward homosexuality, contraception and abortion and said it should change its own canon law to ensure children’s rights and their access

to health care are guaranteed.

The Vatican promptly objected and its U.N. ambassador accused the committee of having betrayed the international body’s own objectives by allowing itself to be swayed by pro-gay ideologues. He said it appeared the committee simply hadn’t listened when the Holy See outlined all the measures it has taken to protect children.

The report, which took the Vatican by surprise in its harsh tone, puts renewed pressure on Pope Francis to move decisively on the abuse front and make good on pledges to create a Vatican commission to study sex abuse and recommend best practic-

es to fight it. The commission was announced in December, but few details have been released since then.

The committee issued its recommendations after subjecting the Holy See to a daylong interrogation last month on its implementation of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, the key U.N. treaty on child protection, which the Holy See ratified in 1990.

Critically, the committee rejected the Vatican’s longstanding argument that it doesn’t control bishops or their abusive priests, saying the Holy See was responsible for implementing the treaty not just in the Vatican City State but around the world

“as the supreme power of the Catholic Church through individuals and institutions placed under its authority.”

In its report, the committee blasted the “code of silence” that has long been used to keep victims quiet, saying the Holy See had “systematically placed preservation of the reputation of the church and the alleged offender over the protection of child victims.” It called on the Holy See to provide compensation to victims and hold accountable not just the abusers, but also those who covered up their crimes.

“The committee is gravely concerned that the Holy See has not acknowledged the extent of the crimes committed,

has not taken the necessary measures to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children, and has adopted policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by, and the impunity of, the perpetrators,” the report said.

It called for Francis’ nascent abuse commission to conduct an independent investigation of all cases of priestly abuse and the way the Catholic hierarchy has responded over time, and urged the Holy See to establish clear rules for the mandatory reporting of abuse to police and to support laws that allow victims to report crimes even after the statute of limitations has expired.

Dogs play in the snow Wednesday in Washington Park in Albany, N.Y. Hundreds of schools across upstate New York are closed and authorities are advising against any unnecessary travel as a snowstorm moves across the region.

Lights out for 1M as storm slams Northeast no lights early Wednesday.

The National Weather Service said the winter storm left about a quarter-inch of ice over much of central and northern Kentucky. Several schools canceled classes.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS Winter-weary residents of the Northeast contended with another dose of snow, sleet and freezing rain Wednesday. The second winter storm of the week canceled classes, closed government and business offices, and caused more than 1 million power outages across the region after wreaking similar havoc in the Midwest on Tuesday. Around a foot of snow fell in some states. Combined with freezing rain and sleet, the snow made driving treacherous.

The storm was the second go-round for the Northeast since a good coating of snow fell Monday.

PENNSYLVANIA Ice and snow brought down trees and limbs and knocked out power to some 750,000 customers. Most of the outages were in the Philadelphia suburbs, and PECO, the major utility company, warned it could be the weekend before some people get their lights back on. The Pennsylvania Turnpike was closed around Harrisburg, the state capital, for more than 13 hours after a fatal crash Tuesday night. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Administration reported delays and some cancellations on suburban Philadelphia routes, while Amtrak suspended its Philadelphia-to-Harrisburg service indefinitely because of downed trees on wires and along tracks. Many schools were closed.

NEW YORK Up to a foot of snow fell in places upstate; hundreds of schools upstate were closed.

Four inches of snow and a quarter-inch of ice covered New York City. The state deployed 3,500 tons of stockpiled road salt to New York City, where supplies were running low, while plows and other heavy equipment aimed to keep roads clear.

Many counties declared snow emergencies. “I wish that groundhog would have stayed in its hole,” said Geoff Dunn, who took the bus to his downtown Columbus office. The National Weather Service said most Ohio cities already have seen anywhere from 15 to 30 inches more snow than is normal at this stage of winter because of the frequent winter storms.

MICHIGAN

The state received more than 6 inches of snow in some areas, snarling traffic and keeping towing operators busy. AAA Michigan got at least 1,100 calls for service Wednesday morning.

Authorities reported several multi-vehicle crashes after snow fell along Interstate 94 in the Jackson area; traffic accidents closed parts of Interstate 69 around Flint. The storm also snarled traffic in southern Michigan, including Detroit. Two planes became stuck on taxiways at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

A Chicago runner was credited with helping save a man who fell into icy Lake Michigan with his dog. Adam Dominik said he found twine and anchored it around himself while throwing the other end in the water, pulling the man onto nearby rocks.

Meanwhile, a skier called 911. Rescuers pulled the man the rest of the way to safety.

He was taken to a hospital.

Both he and his dog were expected to recover.

Gov. Deval Patrick told all non-essential state employees working in the executive branch to stay home.

CONNECTICUT The start of the General Assembly’s annual session was delayed from Wednesday to Thursday because of the snow. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy also ordered a delayed opening for state offices on Wednesday. Many schools were closed. Metro-North Railroad said the storm disabled a few commuter trains, while a few trains were canceled. Ridership was cut in half as thousands of commuters stayed home.

WASHINGTON – In a new twist to a widening tale of ethical lapses in the military, the Navy is investigating cheating allegations against about one-fifth of its trainers at a school for naval nuclear power reactor operators.

It is the second exam-cheating scandal to hit the military this year, on top of a series of disclosures in recent months of ethical lapses at all ranks in the military as it transitions from more than a decade of war-fighting.

Unlike an Air Force cheating probe that has implicated nearly 100 officers responsible for land-based nuclear missiles that stand ready for short-notice launch, those implicated in the Navy investigation have no responsibility for nuclear weapons.

The Air Force probe is centered on Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., but could spread to its two other nuclear missile bases in North Dakota and Wyoming. Dozens of officers at Malmstrom have been linked to cheating on a monthly test of their proficiency in handling “emergency war orders” for potential launch of nuclear missiles.

The Navy said its implicated sailors are accused of having cheated on written tests they must pass to be certified as instructors at a nuclear propulsion school at Charleston, S.C. The Navy uses two nuclear reactors there to train sailors for duty aboard any of dozens of submarines and aircraft carriers around the world whose onboard reactors provide propulsion. They are not part of any weapons systems.

The accused sailors had previously undergone reactor operations training at Charleston before deploying aboard a nuclear-power vessel. In the normal course of career moves, they returned to Charleston to serve as instructors, for which they have to pass requalification exams.

Adm. John Richardson, director of the Navy’s nuclear propulsion program, said an undisclosed number of senior sailors are alleged to have provided test information to their peers. He was not more specific, but one official said the information was shared from the sailors’ home computers, which could be a violation of security rules because information about nuclear reactors operations is classified.

“That’ll be an active part of the investigation to fully understand” the extent of any security rule violations, Richardson said. He said the last time the Navy had such a cheating scandal involving its nuclear reactor operators was in 2010 when the USS Memphis, a nuclear-powered submarine, lost about 10 percent of its crew to disciplinary measures after a cheating ring was discovered.

‘Unspeakable suffering’ United Nations: Children in Syria tortured, sexually abused

By BARBARA SURK The Associated Press BEIRUT – Children in Syria have been tortured, sexually abused and subjected to “indiscriminate” attacks by President Bashar Assad’s forces, and recruited for combat and terror operations by the rebels fighting to topple him during the country’s nearly 3-year-old conflict, a new United Nations report said.

The report to the U.N. Security Council by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlights the plight of children in the conflict from the beginning of the uprising against Assad in March 2011 until Nov. 15, 2013.

It was given to the council this week and posted on the U.N. website Tuesday.

Ban said Syrian children have been subjected to “unspeakable and unacceptable” suffering during that time.

“Violations must come to an end now,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Syrian government missed another deadline for destroying its chemical weapons Wednesday, but pledged to complete the process by June 30 as promised.

Under a timetable set up by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Syria was to have given up its entire stockpile of chemical weapons by Wednesday. Last week, a U.S. diplomat said Syria had only removed 4 percent of its most deadly chemicals so far. All should have been removed by Dec. 31 under the framework.

Displaced Syrian children gather barefoot in a refugee camp Oct. 26, 2012, near Atma, Syria. Children in Syria have been tortured, maimed and sexually abused by President Bashar Assad’s forces and recruited for combat by the rebels fighting to topple him, according to a new United Nations report, posted on the U.N. website late Tuesday.

Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Mikdad said the U.S. is fully committed to the process.

“Difficulties facing Syria, particularly in the framework of the country’s war on terrorism, could hinder the implementation of some commitments from time to time,” he said Wednesday, according to SANA. A day earlier, he rejected U.S. criticism for its slow pace in moving the chemicals out of the country, calling the accusations “baseless and unfair.”

The uprising against Assad’s rule began with largely

peaceful protests in 2011 but evolved in time into a bloody civil war that has killed more than 10,000 children according to U.N. estimates and more than 130,000 people, according to activists. Millions of Syrians have been driven from their homes, seeking shelter in neighboring countries or in safer parts of their homeland.

The conflict has hit the country’s children hard.

In the early stages, Ban said, violations against children were committed largely

by Syria’s armed forces, intelligence forces and allied Shabiha militia but as the conflict intensified and the

opposition became more organized, an increasing number of violations committed by Free Syrian Army-affiliated groups were documented.

The report said the “disproportionate and indiscriminate” use of weapons and military tactics by government forces and associated militias “has resulted in countless killings and the maiming of children, and has obstructed children’s access to education and health services.” Military forces have pounded rebel-held areas with airstrikes and artillery and also subjected them to blockades of food and medicine.

C. African Republic soldiers join chaotic violence The ASSOCIATED PRESS BANGUI, Central African Republic – The interim president of Central African Republic told the hundreds of soldiers standing in formation Wednesday that she was proud of them and called on their support to bring order to their anarchic country.

Then she left, and the soldiers broke ranks to stab and stomp a man in their midst to death. They dragged his corpse through the streets.

The horrific attack, witnessed by Associated Press journalists, shows the de-

gree of hatred and savagery to which this impoverished country has fallen and the difficulty faced by the international community, which has already deployed thousands of peacekeepers, to try to stabilize it.

Wednesday’s gathering was intended to highlight the rebuilding of the national army, left in tatters when President Francois Bozize was ousted from power in a March 2013 coup. The general in charge of the French military mission in Central African Republic highlighted how the national soldiers “have

above all a detailed knowledge of the terrain which will allow us to have them take over the action.”

Interim President Catherine Samba-Panza, who took over last month after the rebel leader who seized power stepped aside amid mounting international pressure, announced that the government soldiers would soon be paid after five months without wages. And she emphasized that the international community would help rearm them.

“I would like to renew my pride in those elements of

FACA (Armed Forces of Central African Republic) who are here and to ask them to support my actions wherever they are,” she said. The uniformed soldiers stood at attention in orderly fashion for the speech, some sporting smiles.

But after she left, the soldiers spotted a suspected former member of the Seleka rebellion that had overthrown the government. His name was Idriss, and he was standing among them. They accused him of being an infiltrator, there to spy for Seleka.

Out came the first knife.

Woodstock concludes Amati couldn’t go back in front of board • AMATI Continued from page A1 “It was an inevitable decision,” said Councilman RB Thompson, who missed the Jan. 21 meeting but was aware of Wednesday’s release. “The law directs us in what our conclusion was. We had no other alternatives. We examined everything, but that’s inevitably what we had to come to.”

The city concluded that Amati couldn’t go back in front of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners without a change in circumstances.

City Manager Roscoe Stelford deferred to the city’s attorney for the legal specifics.

Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle, which represents Woodstock, wasn’t able to provide comment Wednesday af-

ternoon.

“I can tell you my understanding. ... Unless there was some factor or something changed, there’s no ability to bring that back to the board,” Stelford said.

He declined to comment on whether criminal charges in the case would warrant a new hearing.

“I would have to consult with the city attorney’s office to see if that’s sufficient enough to bring it back to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners,” he said.

Amati was the subject of an Illinois State Police investigation that started in August after his ex-girlfriend came forward alleging Amati sent inappropriate texts to her daughter. The Chicago Tribune reported Amati had asked the 12-year-old for “sexy pictures.”

Police also discovered Amati was misusing the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System, including one occasion in which he checked his ex-girlfriend’s background.

Misuse of LEADS can be prosecuted as a criminal felony, but the city raised doubts in Wednesday’s release as to whether Amati’s misuse would qualify.

“City staff’s research to date has determined in the infrequent case when an Illinois officer has been criminally charged with official misconduct for the misuse of LEADS, the charges were generally associated with cases in which the misuse furthered a separate crime such as burglary,” the statement reads.

Given the facts and the time to digest, Thompson said he leans “more yes than no” on whether Amati’s punish-

ment is ultimately suited to his misconduct.

“You have to keep in mind a flawless record of 24 years for Amati,” he said. “In his private life, he made a comment that could be misinterpreted.”

Stelford was asked the same question.

“Based on the fact and the circumstances that we had to work with, this is the best result that the city could achieve in this matter,” he said.

Amati was due to make about $93,000 this year before the unpaid suspension, which has started and will be served intermittently at the department’s discretion. The 48-yearold will be eligible for his police pension at age 50, Stelford said.

Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Human resource manager says making yourself visible is key • JOBS Continued from page A1 to a new report by the Chicago Alternative Schools Network.

The numbers are even with the national decline.

“Employers are having such large numbers of people applying for jobs that a lot of times teens get shoved to the back of the priority list for others who have more skills or experience,” said Barbara Billimack, lead youth career adviser at the McHenry County Workforce Network.

The tough conditions can be discouraging for youth, but

Billimack encourages teens to be persistent.

For Gomez, taking that advice to heart paid off.

She entered the McHenry County Workforce Youth Program in June 2012, and learned interview skills and the intricacies of filling out applications. And she gained the confidence to pick up applications in person, giving herself that initial chance to be noticed.

The result: “I got hooked up with a job a couple months later,” Gomez said.

She’s been working since at Jaci’s Cookies on the Woodstock Square.

The little touches Gomez

used are huge in a job market flooded with applicants, said Anna Olas, human resource manager with the Crystal Lake Park District.

Olas, who manages a department that takes between 300 and 400 applications for seasonal summer work each year, said it’s all about how you present yourself to an employer: from your attire and confidence to the neatness of your application’s penmanship.

And being visible – presenting yourself, not sending a parent – is key.

“We want to see the applicants themselves,” Olas said.

“We want to know that they’re interested in the job.”

Many of the park district’s jobs are filled by returning employees, but the department has posted eight jobs so far and will post more as Memorial Day approaches, Olas said.

For those who try unsuccessfully to find summer work, Billimack suggests they continue bettering their resumes in other ways, entering clubs and pursuing volunteer opportunities.

“Things like that, so they can build those skills so they have something to talk about when they do have an interview,” she said.

House GOP members also filed a fallback measure on Tuesday • LAME-DUCK

Raise taxes, get a state job

Continued from page A1 December, and would forbid the General Assembly from convening between the November election and the start of session without unanimous consent from the governor and the assembly’s four legislative leaders.

It is one of two measures, albeit unlikely to go anywhere in a Democratic-dominated state government, that Republican lawmakers unveiled.

“In the past we have seen lawmakers take positions on bills during the lame duck that they might not have taken if they had to answer to the voters,” Durkin said at a news conference. “The bills we have filed will eliminate lame-duck sessions and tough votes will have to be taken before an election – not afterward.”

State lawmakers have increasingly exploited a loophole in the Illinois Constitution to pass controversial legislation that otherwise would have a hard time.

A simple majority – 61 votes in the House and 30 in the Senate – is needed to pass legislation during spring session, which now runs from the second Wednesday in January to the end of May. From June 1 to the end of the year, the threshold increases to three-fifths – 71 votes in the House and 36 in the Senate – for legislation to take effect immediately, rather than the following June.

But the number of votes needed reverts to simple majority on Jan. 1, giving lawmakers after an election a window in which they can more easily pass controversial or unpopular laws without answering to the voters.

Lawmakers who are leaving office have nothing politically left to lose, or can be persuaded with the promise of government jobs.

Former Democratic Reps.

Robert Flider, D-Mt. Zion, and Careen Gordon, D-Morris, campaigned in 2010 against the tax increase, but were defeated at the polls.

On the last day of the lameduck session, they voted yes.

Both of them in essence cast the deciding vote, because it passed by the bare minimum in both houses without a single Republican in support.

Gov. Pat Quinn three days later nominated Gordon for an $88,000-a-year seat on the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. She withdrew after Senate Republicans promised to grill her over the perceived quid pro quo, but Quinn later appointed her to a similar-paying job as an attorney for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which did not require Senate confirmation. Quinn the following year nominated Flider to head the Illinois Department of Agriculture, a job that commands a $133,273 salary.

Quinn’s press office has repeatedly denied that the jobs were given as rewards for approving the tax increase.

It takes a three-fifths vote of both the House and the Senate to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot, which means the latest GOP initiative, which has been attempted before, faces long odds. Tuesday’s bill joins 43 other proposed constitutional amendments filed in the House this session, only one of which has

Six of the outgoing Democratic lawmakers who voted in the January 2011 lame-duck session to raise the state income tax 67 percent ended up getting high-paying government jobs and better pensions – four of them through the state and two through the city of Chicago: • Robert Flider was confirmed to head the Illinois Department of Agriculture, a job that pays at least $133,273 a year.

• Careen Gordon now earns $88,200 as an attorney with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Gov. Pat Quinn first nominated her for a higher-paying seat on the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, but she withdrew after Senate Republicans promised a grilling on the perception of quid pro quo.

Both Flider and Gordon campaigned against the tax increase in their losing re-election bids.

• Michael Smith makes about $95,000 as a member of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board. The board meets once a month and members can attend by phone.

• David Miller, who left office after losing his bid for state comptroller, now has a $117,000-a-year job with the Illinois Department of Public Health.

• John O’Sullivan was hired in May 2011 as a regional superintendent with the Cook County Forest Preserve District.The job pays $85,704 a year. He was fired five months later.

• Michael Carberry was hired

by Cook County at $100,000 a year as deputy director in the county’s Department of Facilities Management.

made it out of committee. It is practically identical to a proposed amendment filed a year ago in the Senate, which is stuck in committee and has no sponsor other than the lawmaker who filed it.

A constitutional amendment to abolish the office of lieutenant governor, filed

by Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, passed the House last April but has languished in the Senate ever since. The office, long targeted for deletion by government waste watchdogs, carries no statutory powers in the Illinois Constitution.

Democratic lawmakers are expected to make a push for a constitutional amendment to change from a flat tax to a progressive one, based on income like the federal tax structure. While it is expected to pass the more liberal Senate, it likely will face problems in the House. The number of votes needed is equal to the 71-seat Democratic supermajority, but local Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, has vowed to vote against putting it on the ballot, meaning at least one Republican would need to vote yes.

House GOP members on Tuesday also filed a fallback measure in House Resolution 805, which would change House rules by applying the three-fifths majority requirement after elections to bills going from second reading to final reading, and on bills concurring with legislative changes made in the Senate.

Trafficking event worthy Whether your politics tilt right, left or balance in between, we applaud the local Patriots United group for holding an event Saturday to spotlight the disturbing topic of human trafficking.

Several community leaders, including a past and current congressman, are expected to be in attendance at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at D’Andrea Banquets, 4419 Route 14, Crystal For the record Lake.

We’re not sure Human trafficking isn’t a how big of an liberal or conservative issue. issue human trafIt’s a moral issue. ficking is locally.

There haven’t been many examples of what law enforcement considers human trafficking in the news, but it would be naive to believe that it can’t or doesn’t happen in McHenry County.

One of the darker stories from last weekend’s Super Bowl was news that 16 juveniles were rescued and 45 pimps were charged in connection with a prostitution sting in the New York area.

Experts estimate that more than 100,000 children are forced into prostitution each year in the U.S. They also estimate that between 16,000 and 25,000 women and girls are exploited by sex traffickers in the Chicago area each year. To call it “modern-day slavery” isn’t hyperbole.

Saturday’s keynote speaker, Laila Mickelwait, director of awareness and prevention from the anti-trafficking organization Exodus Cry, should be able to provide meaningful context to the issue globally, nationally and locally.

Human trafficking isn’t a liberal or conservative issue. It’s a moral issue that should concern us all. We hope Saturday’s event raises awareness and helps make a dent in this despicable trade.

All farmed out Congress has sent a $956 billion farm bill larded with subsidies for agribusiness to President Obama, who issued a statement Tuesday praising it. Maybe he should first have reread his fiscal 2014 budget proposal.

“The farm sector continues to be one of the strongest sectors of the U.S. economy, with net farm income expected to increase 13.6 percent to $128.2 billion in 2013, which would be the highest inflation-adjusted amount since 1973,” it pointed out. “With the value of both crop and livestock production at all-time highs, income support payments based upon historical levels of production can no longer be justified.”

It is a depressing measure of political reality in Washington that Mr. Obama is expected to sign the bill, even though it achieves less than half of the $37.8 billion in savings (over 10 years) that his budget called for. The bill expands crop insurance subsidies, which the president had targeted for reduction because of their wasteful, distorting impact on both the federal budget and farmers’ use of land, labor and capital.

The bill’s authors urge support because it eliminates egregious “direct payment” subsidies and makes a few other incremental reforms. But for every step the bill takes toward better federal agriculture policy, it takes two or three steps in the other direction.

Worst of all, it creates two new programs – Agriculture Risk Coverage and a Supplemental Coverage Option – which, taken together, all but guarantee beneficiaries’ revenues never fall below 86 percent of their earnings during years of high crop prices, according to estimates by Montana agricultural economist Vincent H. Smith. This federal largess is subject to no significant means-testing. In fact, people making up to $900,000 in adjusted gross annual income can qualify for payments. Why would a president concerned about inequality endorse such welfare for the prosperous?

Contrary to what its apologists claim, the 2014 farm bill is not a hard-won triumph for bipartisanship. Instead, it is a case study in everything that’s wrong with Congress. This is a bill of, by and for the agriculture lobby, which, through sheer power and self-interested persistence, ground down reform advocates over three years. The premise of the legislation – that this country would be at risk of shortages and soaring food prices – is simply not true.

The good news is that, even when Mr. Obama contradicts his budget and signs the bill, it will be the law of the land for only five years, during which its flaws and inevitable cost overruns will become apparent. That gives Americans a chance to demand a less expensive, more rational farm policy. Such a policy would be based on the truth: namely, that the problem is not food scarcity but poorly managed abundance, and that, beyond modest protection against genuinely uninsurable risks, agribusiness has no more legitimate claim on taxpayer assistance than does any other business.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Country living To the Editor: Picture a parade of vehicles with people you don’t know pulling up into your driveway or onto your property.

Then imagine many of them getting out and walking around your yard with cameras and taking pictures.

After all, they’ve never seen bald eagles this close and, certainly, they can be forgiven for walking around in your yard. Certainly, these days you have to trust the idea that strangers never would have anything but your best interests at heart.

So if you want me to allow you to trespass, could you give me your address to pass on to those who came before or after you and extend the same privilege to them? Arlington Club subdivision in Cary is privately owned, and the entire property is maintained (roads and all) by the homeowners. If you weren’t invited in, you’re trespassing, and some do have security cameras to record license plate numbers. But really, the Cary

police have better things to do than charging the scores of you who’ve been coming in lately with trespass.

Please, please have the courtesy to let this serve as a notice to not wander around in our yards or park in front of our garages and driveways. Perhaps, while we’re at it, could you keep the snowmobiles on the frozen ice of the river and also not up into our subdivision and yards?

Another thing our liberal friends don’t take into account is how it would affect the pay structure of the entire company. How would you like to be making $15 per hour after working for a company for five years, only to find that a new

person (with no experience) is hired in at your current rate of pay?

The business would either need to raise all other salaries proportionally or deal with some serious morale issues from employees.

The minimum wage is meant to be an entry level salary for temporary workers or for those with minimal marketable skills. It never was meant to be a living wage.

To increase it to the levels being proposed by the progressives would serve to only further hurt the economy, rather than help it.

Human trafficking a concern close to home “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude…shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” – 13th Amendment, United States Constitution Nearly 150 years have passed since Congress ratified the 13th Amendment. Yet a modern form of slavery still plagues our nation and world.

Today, it is estimated that 21 million people worldwide are victims of modern slavery.

The human trafficking industry – exploiting men, women and children through forced prostitution or forced labor – is the fastest growing and, tied with illegal arms, the second-largest criminal industry in the world.

Human trafficking is commonly dismissed as a global problem. However, many are unaware these repulsive acts are happening in our own backyard.

The U.S. is the second-highest destination for women trafficked throughout the world, and it is estimated that more than 100,000 children become victims of sex trafficking here annually. In greater Chicago, between 16,000 and 25,000 women and girls are estimated to be exploited by sex trafficking each year.

This insidious industry exploits our state’s vast transportation infrastructure and central location to use Illinois as a hub for exploitation. We are consistently ranked among the states with the highest number

GUEST VIEW Randy Hultgren of reported cases by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) hotline.

While Chicago and Cook County make up the bulk of human trafficking arrests in Illinois, the 14th Congressional District is not untouched by this industry and linked activities.

A November report from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority showed that nearly one in 10 arrests occur in the collar counties (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will).

Sex trafficking victims can be solicited in places such as massage parlors and gentlemen’s clubs as police clamp down on activity downtown and demand spirals out into the suburbs.

In November, a Chicago man was sentenced to four years in prison for trafficking, forcing his girlfriend to work as a prostitute in Lake County. Just recently, women at four massage parlors in Crystal Lake were busted for prostitution – an illicit activity that goes hand in hand with trafficking. Typically, women such as those arrested are actually the victims – held and solicited against the law and against their will.

This crisis cannot be ignored, and we must exhaust every

means necessary to challenge it. It is a crime that affects the whole community.

In Washington, I have made combating human trafficking a priority – working across the aisle to strengthen our nation’s human trafficking laws and bringing awareness to this issue so we can take decisive steps to end it once and for all. This past summer, I hosted a screening for members of Congress and their staff of “Nefarious: Merchant of Souls,” a documentary that unveils the hidden world of sex slavery as recounted by former victims and traffickers. It captures gripping testimonies of survivors in order to galvanize hope and vision for a solution.

Securing a meeting for representatives from Exodus Cry, producers of Nefarious, with key members of Congress was a major victory. The evidence they presented connecting countries who allow legal prostitution to increased trafficking led to the inclusion of key appropriations language related to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. The language urged the State Department to increase scrutiny over countries which have legalized prostitution.

In addition, I have co-sponsored the Fraudulent Overseas Recruitment and Trafficking Elimination Act of 2013 (H.R. 3344) and am an original cosponsor of H.Con.Res.66, a House Resolution urging that children

trafficked in the U.S. be treated as victims of crime, and not as perpetrators.

But like attacks on all of us who enjoy human dignity, we need to combat trafficking where we live. On Saturday, I am honored to be participating in the Patriots United Unity Breakfast in Crystal Lake to address the threat of human trafficking at home and abroad. Joining me will be Laila Mickelwait of Exodus Cry, state Sen. Karen McConnaughay and former Congressman Don Manzullo, among others.

As a community, we must together be vigilant in identifying cases of human trafficking and look for the red flags and key indicators of human trafficking victims. Is someone you know afraid to freely leave their home or workplace? Do they appear scared, submissive or coached on what to say? Do they lack personal possessions or a stable living situation? Are there any signs of physical or mental abuse? These red flags should be taken seriously and can be reported to NHTRC hotline by calling 888-373-7888.

Through legislative action and increased awareness, we can work to free our fellow humans from the bondage of slavery, bring perpetrators to justice and provide hope to victims.

BOND REDUCED IN CL THREATS CASE

SECTION B Thursday, February 6, 2014 Northwest Herald

Breaking news @ www.NWHerald.com

30 to 40 percent chance of snow in forecast for Saturday

WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake teenager accused of threatening high school students had his bond reduced Wednesday by a McHenry County judge.

Trevor A. Pilz, 19, was charged Jan. 31 with a Class 4 felony.

Authorities said Pilz wrote on Facebook about shooting students at Harvard High School.

“There’s a fine Trevor A. Pilz line between free speech and what is criminal … he went far beyond that line,” Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Zalud said at Wednesday’s bond hearing.

Over the state’s objections, McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather agreed to reduce Pilz’s bond to $10,000.

The teen would need to post $1,000 to be released from custody.

As of late Wednesday afternoon he had not done so.

Police have said students were not named in the Facebook post.

R-B WINTER DANCE RESCHEDULED RICHMOND – Richmond-Burton Community High School students will get their winter dance after all.

The Jan. 25 dance was postponed following an incident where a student displayed a sex toy during an assembly.

The new date has been set for Feb. 22.

A YouTube video of the incident had more than 60,000 views less than a week after it was posted.

The account that posted the video has since been terminated

by YouTube due to “multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement.”

Several other versions of the video have a collective 4,000plus views.

The video shows two Richmond-Burton High School students, one male and one female, walking arm in arm on the basketball court in the school gymnasium during what appears to be a school assembly. When they get to halfcourt, the female drops to her knees and begins to pantomime worshipping the male.

The male then pulls out a sex toy from his pants and dances at center court. The video then shows the male student being taken out of the gym by school officials.

Storm snarls area roads

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com Snowfall that began Tuesday night and continued well into Wednesday morning snarled traffic and created hazardous driving conditions all over McHenry County.

Route 31 was closed in multiple areas in both Algonquin and the Crystal Lake area as snow covered streets and sent cars into ditches.

On multiple occasions, semitrailers were unable to make it up the hill on Route 31.

The outlining areas of the county were especially dangerous as continued snowfall – along with blowing and drifting snow – covered the roads, according to McHenry County Department of Transportation Maintenance Superintendent Mark DeVries.

There were numerous reports of cars in ditches and slippery road conditions.

Snow totals showed 5 inches in Huntley, 4.7 inches in Bull Valley,

BARRINGTON – An Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital nurse was killed Wednesday morning when a snowplow hit her in the parking lot of the hospital, a Lake County Sheriff’s

Office spokeswoman said.

Diane Shogren, 51, of Ingleside, was hit by a red 2012 Ford F-450 truck with a snowplow attached driving in reverse, according to the Lake County sheriff’s and coroner’s offices.

The man who was driving the truck got out when he noticed he hit something and saw Shogren, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd said.

He called for help, and Shogren was taken into the emergency department at the hospital.

She died at 6:02 a.m., about a half

hour after the accident.

An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow morning, Rudd said.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Unit is still investigating the accident, which occurred about 5:30 a.m.

Wednesday, but investigators “definitely believe that the weather had something to do with the incident,” Sgt. Sara Balmes said.

Former baseball coach pleads guilty Admits to possessing child pornography

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A one-time youth baseball coach admitted Wednesday to possessing sexual images of young boys, as details surrounding his arrest emerged in court.

Marcus J. Sabo, a former coach with the Crystal Lake Babe Ruth organization, pleaded guilty Wednes-

day to 20 counts of possession of child pornography. A remaining 40 counts were dismissed as part of the plea deal.

According to prosecutors, Sabo last year sent a text message to a 16-year-old player indicating he was suicidal.

Crystal Lake poMarcus J. lice checked on the Sabo well-being of the man, and as a result discovered text messages Sabo sent the boy that were “overtly sexual in nature,” Assistant State’s Attorney Patrick

Kenneally said.

In the messages, Sabo told the boy he wanted to find a 14-year-old boy to masturbate to, that he liked to meet teenage boys online, and had conversations with the boy about genitalia and masturbation, Kenneally said.

Sabo was not charged as a result of those text messages. Sixty counts of possession of child pornography were filed in April 2013.

“There was no solicitation nor did it appear he was attempting to alarm and disturb [the teen],” Kenneally said outside the courtroom.

McHENRY – Neighbors should be notified on any requests that affect their property, a few McHenry City Council members say.

A discussion earlier this week was triggered by a request for a variance from the 5-foot setback required for driveways by city ordinance.

The request had made its way through the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission and was before the City Council for final approval – but because the variance was for a provision in the city’s subdivision control ordinance, not the zoning code, notifications were not sent to the neighboring properties.

CARY: VILLAGE BOARD SETS RESTRICTIONS ON POTENTIAL BUSINESSES

Cary OKs medical marijuana zoning rules

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – If a medical marijuana dispensary opens in Cary, it will be allowed to operate in a manufacturing district or in most business districts as a conditional use.

The Village Board this week approved the zoning districts where a medical marijuana dispensary would be allowed, if one operated in the municipality.

State law requires medical marijuana dispensaries be

placed at least 1,000 feet from a school, day care or child care facility.

Dispensaries also can’t be placed in residential-zoned areas or within a dwelling unit.

The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act limits the amount of dispensaries around the state to 60 locations.

The village’s Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals initially recommended that dispensaries only be allowed in manufacturing districts.

8LOCAL BRIEFS Woodstock High School hosting FAFSA night

MARENGO – A three-car accident sent one person to the hospital Wednesday, a fire official said.

The patient was flown using Flight For Life to Rockford following the accident, which occurred around noon on Route 20 about a quarter mile east of Coral Road outside Marengo, Lt. Noel Gaines said.

Additional details weren’t available Wednesday evening.

WOODSTOCK – High school seniors and their parents are invited to Woodstock High School for a FAFSA workshop from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday.

The McHenry County College Financial Aid Office is sponsoring the event at the high school, 501 W. South St. Register online at whs.woodstockschools.org/profile/ slandwehr/financial-aidscholarships for an appointment.

Forms available to download on the website should be brought to the session.

Basement fire at home displaces Cary couple CARY – A fire that started in a Cary basement Wednesday displaced two residents and resulted in a firefighter being sent to the hospital, the fire chief said.

The Cary Fire Protection District responded to a fire alarm at 6:03 p.m. Wednesday at 316 Sherwood Drive, Chief Jeffrey Macko said. The firefighter slipped and fell at the scene, and she was transported to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital as a precaution, he said.

While investigators are not 100 percent sure what caused the fire, it is thought to be related to a problem with an appliance in the basement, Macko said.

The fire damage was contained to one room in the basement, but smoke caused damage throughout the two-story house, Macko said. The house had to be vented, including taking out the windows.

Sabo’s sentencing hearing scheduled for March 12 • GUILTY Continued from page B1 The 41-year-old entered a blind guilty plea, meaning there was no agreement between attorneys on a possible sentence. Possession of child pornography is a probational Class 3 felony.

Any possible prison time will be served simultaneously. He faces anywhere between two to five years in prison, but he is eligible for probation. Prosecutors intend to ask that Sabo serve prison time. He also must register for life as a sex

offender.

Sabo’s guilty plea was accepted by McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather, who will sentence him on March 12.

An attorney for the baseball league couldn’t immediately be reached, but the organization previously has said the accusations did not involve any athletes, league property or equipment.

“As soon as the charges were filed, Sabo’s positions with the league were revoked and he was barred from having contact with the league or its athletes,” the statement read.

Driver, woman both worked at Advocate Good Shepherd • DEATH Continued from page B1 was limited visibility at the time of the incident, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. The safety equipment, including the amber lights, reverse lights and backup alarm, were functioning.

sary to obtain a conditional use permit, which would have to be approved by the Village Board to make sure the use fits in with adjacent uses, said Director of Community and Economic Development Chris Stilling.

Under state law, cultivation centers cannot be placed within 2,500 feet of schools and child care facilities or any residential area. There is no place in the village that meets that minimum distance requirement, so no cultivation center can be located in

Cary, according to village documents.

Village Board members also approved allowing staff to purchase up to $50,000 more worth of road salt.

The village has already spent about $104,000 for slightly more than 1,900 tons of road salt, according to village documents.

The village has paid $54.48 per ton of salt, and the price is remaining stable for the municipality, said Village Administrator Chris Clark.

Clark added he is unsure

how long the price will remain.

“For now, we’re lucky to have it,” Clark said.

Clark said the village has enough salt for six or seven more storms.

He added that public works crews are focusing on salting on hills, intersections and slippery spots around town in order to conserve salt.

“Crews are working extremely hard,” Clark said.

“Whenever asked, they’re putting their best effort out there.”

The Village Board decided to allow dispensaries in B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4 business districts as well.

Trustee Jeff Kraus pushed to allow a dispensary in the business districts.

“We’re not talking about back alleys or street corners,” Kraus said. “We’re talking about patients with legitimate prescriptions ... from a medical doctor. Restricting it to a manufacturing area perpetuates it as dark and seedy.”

Man guilty in car repair beating NORTHWEST HERALD HAMPSHIRE – A West Chicago man has been convicted of punching a Hampshire man several times in the face after a dispute over how long it was taking to repair a car.

Ignacio D. Rodriguez, 53, of the 400 block of East Brown Street, West Chicago, was

found guilty late Tuesday by a Kane County jury of aggravated battery with great bodily harm, a Class 3 felony.

The charge carries a sentence of probation or between two and five years in prison.

Rodriguez, who is out on $5,000 bond, is scheduled to next appear in court at 1 p.m. April 11 for motions and sentencing.

The charge stemmed from an incident that occurred about noon Jan. 31, 2013, when Rodriguez went to the Hampshire man’s business to inquire about the status of a car the Hampshire man was hired to repair, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

The two got into an ar-

gument about how long the job had taken, and when the Hampshire man turned to walk away, Rodriguez punched him three times in the left cheekbone, the release said.

The man had multiple broken bones in his face and had to undergo surgery, the release said.

Area temperatures dropping below zero again • STORM Continued from page B1 4 inches in Algonquin, 3.5 inches in Woodstock, 3.3 inches in Wonder Lake, 3.1 inches in Marengo and 3 inches in Harvard, according to National Weather Service Meteorologist Andrew Krein.

There is 30 to 40 percent chance for more snow Satur-

day and into Saturday night, but it’s too early to predict how much might fall, Krein said.

One weather certainty, Krein said, is that the temperature is going to drop.

Wednesday night’s low was expected to be 5 to 10 degrees below zero, with wind chills at 15 to 25 below, Krein said.

Thursday night will see similar lows, with low tempera-

tures Friday also reaching close to zero degrees. Weekend lows will likely be in the single digits, with subzero temperatures possible Monday night.

“It’s going to stay sig-

nificantly cold,” Krein said.

“There’s no melting potential at all.”

With temperatures expected to drop below zero, DeVries said it will be critical to get the roads plowed Wednesday to prevent continued road hazards throughout the week.

“We’ll get the roads as clean as we can before temperatures start dropping,” he said.

Alderwoman wants issue brought up in committee • VARIANCES Continued from page B1 “I think it’s an injustice,” said Alderman Andy Glab, the sole council member to vote against the request.

He wasn’t against the proposed driveway per se, but he said the request should have gone through the same steps required by the zoning code.

“If it affects people, it’s our duty to let people know what’s

going on,” Glab said. “Transparency in government for God’s sake. It’s not just what goes on at City Hall; it’s what we allow to go on outside somebody’s fence.”

He’s not alone in his thinking.

Alderwoman Geri Condon said she thinks it’s worth looking into.

“It’s always been my thought that if we can be as transparent as possible – and especially when you’re

talking about something that’s going to be a change right next door – it’s always good to have every aware,” she said. “They may choose to not come to the Planning and Zoning hearing, but at least we’re giving them the opportunity to have the input.”

Condon, who is the chairwoman of the Community Development Committee, said she plans on talking to Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin about the issue and

having it brought up at the next committee meeting for discussion.

Requiring notification for these types of variance requests would require a change to the city ordinance, so any proposed ordinance would have to make it through the committee level – both the Community Development Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission – before coming to the City Council for a final vote.

MARENGO: LONGTIME LEADER LEAVING

Marengo-Union Library director says she will retire

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Director Mary Hanson will retire to Milwaukee after leading the Marengo-Union Library for the past nine years that included a successful effort to move to a larger space.

Hanson’s retirement will allow her to spend more time with her husband, who has lived and worked in Milwaukee for the past five years.

The library board will begin interviewing potential replacements during a special meeting Tuesday.

Hanson said she plans to stay with the library until a new director completes the transition to the area.

“I’m excited for the library,” she said. “It will be an exciting time for them to

move to a new facility, but I am eager to join my husband.”

Expansion underscored Hanson’s tenure in Marengo during the past nine years.

With board backing, Hanson and the library’s staff successfully used $1.2 million from their existing budget to acquire the former Miceli drapery plant at 19714 E. Grant Highway, Marengo, in 2011.

The new space is three times the library’s existing space at 200 S. State St. in downtown Marengo. Roughly $750,000 in renovations to the former plant began in January, and officials hope to move into the new home by mid-2014.

The library also added adult programming, upgraded its computer systems and

developed computer classes for the public during Hanson’s tenure.

Hanson’s retirement caps off 30 years in the library business that included stops at libraries in Chicago, Rolling Meadows, Algonquin, Huntley and Schaumburg.

“I’ve always enjoyed helping the public find information,” she said. “That has carried throughout my library career. The way we do it has changed dramatically, but we are still in that business.”

Hanson will assist the library board with interviews for the director position. She has already narrowed the list to four candidates. The initial round of interviews will continue throughout February.

The library doesn’t yet have a timetable for naming a replacement, Hanson said.

“Career and College Readiness Community Night” on Feb. 13.

The event, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Jacobs auditorium, 2601 Bunker Hill Drive, Algonquin, is meant to help parents

and students prepare for a career or college of the student’s choice. For information, contact Gail Van Sickle at 847-532-6341 or gail.vansickle@d300.org.

Marlboro cigarettes are on display in a CVS store in Pittsburgh. The nation’s second-largest drugstore chain says it will phase out cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1 as it continues to focus more on health care. The move will cost the Woonsocket, R.I., company about $2 billion in annual revenue.

CVS Caremark plans to stop tobacco products sales

By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM and TOM MURPHY The Associated Press CVS, the nation’s second-largest drugstore chain, is kicking the habit of selling tobacco products as it continues to shift its focus toward being more of a health-care provider.

The company said Wednesday that it will phase out cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1 in its 7,600 stores nationwide, in a move that it says will help it grow its business that works with doctors, hospitals and others to improve customers’ health.

The move is the latest evidence of a big push in the drugstore industry that has been taking place over several years. Major drugstore chains have been adding in-store clinics and expanding their health-care offerings.

Their pharmacists deliver flu shots and other immunizations, and their clinics now manage chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and treat relatively minor problems such as sinus infections.

Among other things, they’re preparing for increased demand for health care. That’s in part due to an aging U.S. population that will need more care in future years. It’s also the result of the millions of people expected to gain health insurance under the health-care overhaul.

As CVS has been working to team up with hospital groups and doctor practices to help deliver and monitor patient care, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Troyen A. Brennan said the presence of tobacco in its stores has made

for some awkward conversations.

“One of the first questions they ask us is, ‘Well, if you’re going to be part of the health-care system, how can you continue to sell tobacco products?’” he said. “There’s really no good answer to that at all.”

CVS Caremark Corp., which has 7,600 stores nationwide, said the move will cost about $2 billion in annual revenue but won’t affect its 2014 earnings forecast. CVS notches about $1.5 billion annually in tobacco sales, but it expects the $2 billion drop in revenue from phasing out tobacco because smokers often buy other products when they visit their stores. The company brought in more than $123 billion in revenue in 2012.

The company declined to say what will take tobacco’s prominent shelf place behind cash registers at the front of its stores. CVS will test some items and may expand smoking cessation products that are sometimes sold near cigarettes.

Its drugstores do not sell electronic cigarettes, devices that heat a liquid nicotine solution and create a water vapor that users inhale. CVS also plans to expand its smoking cessation efforts. That includes training pharmacists to counsel people on how to quit.

“We’ve come to the conclusion that cigarettes have no place in a setting where health care is being delivered,” said CVS CEO Larry Merlo, who noted that many chronic conditions are made worse by smoking.

The company’s tobacco plan drew praise from President Barack Obama. “Today’s decision will help

advance my Administration’s efforts to reduce tobacco-related deaths, cancer, and heart disease, as well as bring down health-care costs,” the president said.

Tobacco is responsible for about 480,000 deaths a year in the U.S., according to the Food and Drug Administration, which gained the authority to regulate tobacco products in 2009.

The federal government has renewed efforts to reduce the death and disease caused by tobacco use on the heels of the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1964 surgeon general’s report that launched the anti-smoking movement. A new 980-page report issued last month by acting Surgeon General Boris Lushniak also urged new resolve to make the next generation smoke-free.

CVS competitors Walgreen Co. and Rite Aid Corp. both sell tobacco and smoking cessation products, as does the world’s largest retailer, WalMart Stores Inc., which also operates pharmacies in its stores. But Target Corp., another major retailer with pharmacies, does not sell tobacco.

Both Walgreen and Rite Aid representatives said Wednesday that they are always evaluating what they offer customers and whether that meets their needs.

The nation’s biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, said in a statement Wednesday that it is up to retailers to decide whether they’re going to sell tobacco products. Philip Morris is owned by Richmond, Va.based Altria Group Inc.

WASHINGTON – A private survey shows that businesses added jobs at a modest pace in January, a sign that hiring may have rebounded after a disappointing figure in December.

Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that companies added 175,000 jobs last month. That’s down from 227,000 in December, which was revised lower. But it was much better than the government’s official figure of just 74,000 new jobs in December.

The ADP numbers cover only private businesses and often diverge from the government’s more comprehensive report. In December its figure was much higher than the official count.

The job gains in ADP’s report, while lower than in December, are in line with average monthly hiring for the past two years.

Fears have risen in recent weeks that the U.S. and global economies may be weakening. Those fears have caused sharp falls in stock markets worldwide. Turmoil in developing countries and signs of slower growth in the U.S. also have raised uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next steps.

Some economists were concerned that ADP’s report suggested hiring slowed from December to January.

But others were relieved that the job gains didn’t fall further. Other eco-

McHENRY – McHenry County College’s Continuing Education Department is offering a fourhour National Safety Council Flagger Training Certificate course from 8 a.m. to noon Feb. 25 in Room 121 at the Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane, McHenry.

Students will learn flagging procedures and proper use of required equipment through classroom activities and hands-on training. This course is available for novice and experienced construction zone flaggers. In addition to controlling traffic through work areas, the program aims to minimize confusion by teaching standard flagging procedures.

The cost is $125 a session. To register, call the MCC Registration Office at 815-455-8588 and use course ID USV-U09-002.

For information, contact Ruth Kormanak at 815-479-7879 or rkormanak@mchenry.edu.

DEERFIELD – The liquor company Beam, which is being acquired by Japanese beverage company Suntory Holdings Ltd. in a $13.62 billion deal, said Wednesday that its fourthquarter net income declined 19 percent, hurt partly from higher income taxes and a charge.

Its adjusted results and revenue topped analysts’ estimates.

Beam Inc., which makes classic American whiskeys Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark and other spirits, agreed to the Suntory acquisition last month.

Suntory will pay $83.50 per share. The companies put the transaction’s value at about $16 billion, including debt.

Beam said Wednesday that the deal is still on track to close in the second quarter.

Merck 4Q net drops on generic competition Merck & Co.’s fourth-quarter profit dropped 14 percent, with its aggressive cost cutting not enough to offset restructuring charges, generic competition to former blockbuster medicines and unfavorable currency exchange rates.

Results just missed Wall Street expectations, and even though Merck said 2014 will be a “trough year” for revenue, shares briefly hit a six-year high of $55.20. That’s because the world’s third-biggest drugmaker separately announced new, potentially lucrative alliances.

Merck will collaborate with three other drugmakers to test its hot experimental cancer drug, called MK-3475, in combination with theirs. It’s in a new class of cancer medicines meant to restore the immune system’s natural ability to spot and target cancer cells.

Merck reported net income of $781 million, or 26 cents per share, down from $908 million, or 30 cents per share, a year earlier.

Aston Martin recalls more than 17,000 luxury cars

Job seekers line up to meet a prospective employer at a career fair at a hotel in Dallas. Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that companies added 175,000 jobs last month. nomic data in the past two weeks, such as a survey of manufacturers by the Institute for Supply Management, have suggested that the economy is weakening.

“Given the cratering in December payrolls and the poor ISM figures, these data should come as a relief,” Jay Feldman, an economist at Credit Suisse, said in a note to clients.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, which compiles the ADP report, said that cold weather “continued to weigh on the job numbers.”

Excluding the impact of bad weather, hiring is likely occurring at a pace of 175,000 to 200,000 new jobs a month, Zandi said.

“I don’t think anything fundamental has changed in the economy,” he said. Moody’s is still forecasting that hiring will pick up this year and average about 225,000 a month.

Many economists said bad weather was partly to blame for the sharp fall-off in December hiring. Job gains had averaged 214,000 a month from August through November, nearly three times December’s total.

LONDON – British luxury carmaker Aston Martin says it is recalling 17,590 sports cars because of a problem with the accelerator pedal molding.

The company said Wednesday that there had not been any accidents or injuries stemming from the fault, which can cause the engine to idle unexpectedly.

The global recall will affect all of the company’s lefthand drive cars made between late 2007 and the end of 2013. Righthand drive cars made between May 2012 and December 2013 also will be recalled.

The new Vanquish model is not affected.

New state laws call for new policies in the workplace With the passage of new laws in Illinois, employers would be wise to update their policies. Below are three that are effective now, even though all of the rules have not yet been written.

Conceal and carry: Under this new law, Illinoisans now have the right to carry concealed arms. Businesses also have rights. As an employer, you may prohibit any type of weapon, including firearms, in the workplace.

Businesses who wish to remain weapons free must post a sign in each door. The card can be found on my website, www.hrtechniques.biz, under the posters, forms and links tab or on the Illinois State Police website, www.isp.state.il.us. It is 6 inches by 4 inches and shows a gun with a red circle and line through it. It also indicates the conceal and

HUMAN RESOURCES Karla Dobbeck carry statute. Businesses who wish all property, such as a country club or park to remain weapons free, must post the sign at the entrance to the property.

Those holding conceal and carry permits are, however, allowed to have weapons in their vehicles.

Also permitted is transporting the weapon from the body of the car to the trunk.

Finally, businesses that have an employee handbook need to include language prohibiting weapons in the workplace if the business wishes to be weapons free. The policy can be a stand-alone or, if the business

has a workplace violence policy, the title of the policy can be changed to Weapon- and Violence-Free Workplace and specific weapon-free language should be included.

Medical marijuana: As with all other prescription drugs, medical marijuana use may be limited during working hours and also if its use will prevent an employee from working safely. If you have safety rules, take a minute to see whether they address the use of prescription drugs for employees working in dangerous surroundings or on dangerous equipment – including operating vehicles.

If you have a Drug-Free Workplace policy, medical marijuana use will be treated the same as the use of any other prescription drug. If you do not such a policy, consider adding one to your handbook or other

Share of Americans who smoke has fallen • CVS CAREMARK Continued from page B5 On its own, the CVS move won’t hurt cigarette companies much. Drugstores overall account for only 4 percent of cigarettes sold. That pales compared with gas stations, which generate nearly half of those sales. But it’s another in a long line of changes that have led cigarette sales to fall because of health concerns, higher prices and taxes, and social stigma.

Several cities, including San Francisco, Boston and many smaller Massachusetts communities have considered or passed bans on tobacco

sales in stores with pharmacies. Other places, such as New York City, have sought to curb retail displays and promotions and raise the legal age someone can buy tobacco products.

U.S. retail sales of tobacco, which is composed largely of cigarettes, were about $107.7 billion in 2012, according to market researcher Euromonitor International.

The share of Americans who smoke has fallen dramatically since 1970, from nearly 40 percent to about 18 percent.

But the rate has stalled since about 2004, with about 44 million adults in the U.S. smoking cigarettes. It’s unclear why it hasn’t budged, but

some market watchers have cited tobacco company discount coupons on cigarettes and a lack of funding for programs to discourage smoking or to help smokers quit.

Tim Watt walked out of a downtown Indianapolis CVS store Wednesday with a fresh pack of Pall Malls. The 54-year-old Indianapolis resident said he buys most of his cigarettes from CVS because the Pall Malls are 20 cents to a dollar cheaper there than at other locations. Watt collects unemployment and is on a tight budget.

Even so, he said he wasn’t worried about his supply drying up when CVS stops selling tobacco.

That compares with a loss of $8.7 million, or 7 cents per share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings were 2 cents per share.

Twitter’s revenue more than doubled to $243 million from $112 million.

FactsSet says analysts expected an adjusted loss of 2 cents per share and revenue of $218.1 million.

Twitter ended the quarter with 241 million monthly users,

up 30 percent from a year earlier. That’s slightly fewer than some analysts expected. Sterne Agee’s Arvind Bhatia was looking for 244 million users, an increase of 32 percent.

San Francisco-based Twitter Inc. made its Wall Street debut in November with an initial public offering price of $26.

The stock price has more than doubled since.

8IN BRIEF Twitter posts 4Q loss but beats estimates NEW YORK – Twitter beat Wall Street’s earnings and revenue expectations in its first quarter as a public company. But investors were looking for even more – including more user growth – and the company’s stock dipped as much as 12 percent in after-hours trading Wednesday.

Twitter reported a loss of $511 million, or $1.41 per share, in the October-December quarter.

company policies. If your company is a government contractor, it must adopt a Drug-Free Workplace Policy with specific government contract language.

Many businesses have agreements with occupational health facilities. If your business does, discuss medical marijuana use with them to learn how they will be screening and whether a medical review will be provided to determine if the marijuana is being used consistently with the prescription. If a medical review is not part of the arrangement, consider adding it. There may be an additional cost, which will be worth it in the long run.

Hands-free driving: Since Jan. 1, everyone in Illinois must be handsfree while driving. This means employees cannot use a phone for any purpose while driving unless the

use is completely hands-free. In just the past few weeks, I have learned of several tickets being issued when the phone is not in use, but simply in the hand of the driver, so please beware.

Some cars are equipped with systems enabling hands-free use. If your company vehicles do not have this type of system, please consider providing Bluetooth technology to your employees who are tasked with driving as part of their work duties.

Finally, businesses that have a policy regarding cellphone use should check to see what it says and add language in support of the new Illinois law.

U.S. service sector expands

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. service companies expanded at a slightly faster pace in January. New orders, sales and hiring showed strength in a sign that financial firms, retailers and information technology companies foresee stronger growth.

The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Wednesday that its servicesector index rose to 54 from 53 in December. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.

The improvement points to continued economic gains for the service industry, despite some challenges posed by freezing temperatures and winter storms last month.

The survey covers businesses that employ 90 percent of the U.S. workforce, including retail, construction, health-care and financial services firms. Because these companies are less sensitive to nasty weather than

manufacturers are, the January figure suggests that a reported slowdown at factories last month was due in part to the winter chill rather than to broader weakness in the economy.

The services sector has experienced “slow, incremental growth” for the past four years and is on a sustainable path, said Anthony Nieves, chairman of ISM’s services survey.

“It’s been chugging along very steady,” said Nieves, adding that the 4½-year-old recovery from the Great Recession has been “very resilient even with the ups and downs.”

A measure of new orders rose 0.5 points to 50.9. The measure for hiring rose 0.8 points to 56.4, the highest reading since November 2010.

The improved employment measure could point to solid jobs gains in the January employment report being released Friday by the Labor Department, said Maninder Sibia, an economist for Contingent Macro Advisors.

Earlier this week, the ISM said its survey on manufacturing plunged to 51.3 in January from 56.5 in December, partly because cold weather delayed shipments of raw materials and caused some factories to shut down. The drop rattled the stock market as evidence that the economic strength coming out of last year might be starting to fade.

The economy has lost some momentum after expanding at an annualized 3.2 percent annual rate in the final quarter of 2013.

Orders to U.S. factories fell 1.5 percent in December.

Incomes were practically flat that month as well. Auto sales slipped 3 percent in January. And the U.S. stock market plunged in recent weeks on turmoil coming out of emerging market economies such as China and Turkey.

But the modest increase in the ISM’s services index raises the possibility that the economy soon will emerge from any cold spell.

NATIONAL SIGNING DAY

Huntley throws big party Six girls soccer players sign their letters of intent

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Huntley goalkeeper Jessica Galason will not mind if time seems to drag along this spring.

The core of the Red Raiders that has played together for so long gets one more run. That group celebrated Wednesday by signing its NCAA National Letters of Intent in the

high school’s Learning Resource Center.

Six girls soccer players signed with NCAA Division I or D-II teams.

Three football players and one girls track and field athlete also signed.

Wednesday was the first day of the signing period for NCAA scholarship schools in football, soccer, cross country and track and field.

“I’m really happy for everybody,” said Galason, who signed with Illinois State. “It will be weird because we’re all going our separate ways. It goes by very fast. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long.”

Huntley, which was 17-5-1 last season, had half of the area’s 12

girls who signed or will sign for soccer. Galason, Delaney Loprieno (Northern Illinois), Sam Morin (Illinois-Springfield), Beth Parks (Colorado State), Abby Nordeen (Minnesota State) and Rachel Zobott (Illinois-Chicago) are headed to NCAA scholarship schools.

All except Nordeen played club soccer with Heat United for about a decade until this year, when Zobott left for another club.

“It’s really exciting since we’ve played together 10 years and now we’re all signing,” Loprieno said.

HAMPSHIRE 58, WOODSTOCK 36

VIEWS Rick Telander

Kane has grown up real fast

“It was a complete team effort, I felt like. It wasn’t just us three that felt sad about it,” Tricia Dumoulin said. “It was the whole team that felt sad.”

“It’s a pretty neat thing knowing that there is someone up there watching over me and everyone else on the team, too,” Nikki Dumoulin said.

Hampshire was led by 18 points from Emma Benoit and Sara Finn but it was more about what the Dumoulins were going through on the night. Whips coach Mike Featherly said that it was a hard day from everyone involved.

“It was a pretty emotional day with the Dumoulins’ grandpa passing. We came out with great energy.

It was nice to just focus on basketball,” Featherly said. “That’s the nice thing about sports that once you’re playing, that’s all you are thinking about. We weren’t sure how they were going to respond. I gave them a choice if they wanted to

It’s always a little unnerving to see great athletes cry.

Why are they crying?

Who are they crying for?

What happened to the tough-guy shield they wear like a tortoise shell?

We witness for a disconcerting moment a lifted veil, and we see our heroes are human. Fallible. Wounded. Fragile. Sometimes weak.

Thus it was that, at first, no one knew how to respond when Blackhawks star Patrick Kane began openly crying over the loss of his grandfather, Donald Kane, on Monday night after a game in Los Angeles against the Kings.

Kane had pointed and looked upward after scoring his first goal in the Hawks’ 5-3 win, and a reporter asked about it later in the locker room. Was Patrick Kane the gesture for his Hawks win grandfather?

It was, indeed, Kane said. Then the Patrick Kane tears began. and the Black“He was one of hawks defeat my, you know, good the Anaheim friends growing up ...” Ducks, 2-0.

Kane got out amid the Page C5 tears. “Any time you get something taken away from you that’s so close to you, that meant so much to you ... . It’s tough to hear that before a game.”

He wiped his eyes, and yet the tears kept coming.

Donald Kane and his late wife, Patricia, lived next door to Patrick’s family in South Buffalo, N.Y., and Patrick talked about how the elder patriarch, who was 87 when he died Monday, and the boy “would do things like play cards and hang out by the pool throughout the summers.”

Odd as it might sound, they were pals. Best buddies.

So you get nailed with news that this great friend died before a game you are paid a lot of money to play, with a team that depends on you, and you go ahead and play the game.

Forget the two goals that draw you out of a minislump, or the win your high-octane team needs. Someone you love is gone forever.

So how do you process this?

Kane has been with the Blackhawks since 2007. He was 18 then; he’s 25 now. We have, by necessity, watched him grow up. Everybody knows hockey culture is macho to the max, with drinking and carousing and hangovers part of the deal. Imagine, this is a sport in which fighting is taken out of the bars and put on the ice.

8SPORTS SHORTS NEW YORK – Billie Jean King will not attend Friday’s opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics in Russia because her mother is ill.

King, who was selected to help lead the U.S. delegation to the Games, has been outspoken in her opposition to Russia’s anti-gay law. She also planned to attend ice hockey and figure skating events and meet U.S. athletes during her three-day visit to the games.

The White House announced Wednesday that former U.S. hockey player Caitlin Cahow, originally scheduled for the closing ceremony, will take King’s place.

The openly gay former tennis star has said she would like sexual orientation added to the list of protections in the charter of the International Olympic Committee. King was chosen in December for the U.S. delegation, along with openly gay former Olympic figure skater Brian Boitano and Cahow.

Shaun White nixes Olympic slopestyle KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – Shaun White jammed his wrist on one jump and watched the world’s best snowboarders join him in tumbling down the supersized, super-scary Olympic slopestyle course.

Quickly, his choice became clear: Time to step away from the danger, and give himself a better chance in the event he knows he can win.

The world’s most famous snowboarder pulled out of the new Olympic event Wednesday, saying that after much deliberation, he has decided to bypass a chance at winning two gold medals at these games and instead concentrate on the halfpipe, where he’ll have a chance to win his third straight title next week.

Beckham exercises option to buy MLS team MIAMI – David Beckham hopped onto the stage, his back to sun-splashed Biscayne Bay, and a pack of photographers jostled for position as admirers cheered and chanted.

“Thank you for the warm welcome,” Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning.

In this case, it was soccer weather.

The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. The deal will be finalized when the former English national team captain can secure a financing plan and location for a new stadium.

Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey talks to the media about the 2014 recruiting class Wednesday in the Yordon Center in DeKalb.

NATIONAL SIGNING DAY ROUNDUP

Strong class heads to NIU SHAW MEDIA and SUN-TIMES DeKALB – Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said he felt like he had to scramble to put together his first recruiting class.

On Wednesday, Carey said he thought the team’s successes in the past two seasons paid off with a recruiting class of 31 players, headlined by a trio of players including Prairie Ridge offensive lineman Shane Evans, who already is enrolled at NIU. The class is ranked second in the Mid-American Conference by Rivals.com – behind only Western Michigan, which finished 2013 with a 1-11 record but is led by Kaneland alumnus and former NIU recruiting coordinator P.J. Fleck.

“Last year’s class we were really proud of, as well, but we did that one short-handed,” Carey said. “With this one, all of our guys who we brought in know all of the coaches. There isn’t any familiarity that has to be developed there. We’ve had 13 months to do that. We really feel fortunate about that.”

The Huskies also brought in five receivers, five defensive backs and a pair of quarterbacks. The highest-rated recruits in the class, according to Rivals, are Evans, defensive back Deion Hamilton and quarterback Landon Root.

which men such as Golesh and, of course, Illini coach Tim Beckman are annually judged.

Or prejudged, to be more accurate.

“It doesn’t matter if you win the press conference or not on Feb. 5,” Golesh said, “because the results have to come out in those 12 games in the fall. I remind Coach Beck of that, too, a lot. Who cares?”

Two, the Illini coaches believe – sincerely – that their 2014 recruiting class will go down as a major success.

“When we sit in that staff room and talk, we are so happy with the class,” Golesh said.

“We addressed huge needs with high-quality players. We addressed our needs in a big way.”

Illinois had three glaring areas of need – wideout, defensive line and linebacker – and signed 12 players at those positions. That’s a huge chunk of this 18-member class, which includes five players from the junior-college ranks and four freshman early enrollees.

NOTRE DAME

Coach Brian Kelly looks at Notre Dame’s 2014 recruiting class and sees depth across the board.

The Irish signed 23 players.

It’s a class that stands at No. 10 in the Rivals. com team rankings and No. 11 according to ILLINOIS ESPN. Illinois recruiting coordi“Eighteen of nator Alex Gothese recruits lesh has two that are in this Brian Kelly main messages class were in for fans of the the top 15 in their position school’s footgroup,” Kelly said. “If you reball program ally boil it down, it’s about the coming out of front seven and the offensive national sign- Tim Beckman line. Yes, there are some great ing day. skill players, but you’re winOne, don’t make too much ning up front. And building that of the recruiting rankings by depth in the front seven and the

offensive line really stands out in this class.”

The four additions to the offensive line include Quenton Nelson (6-foot-5, 302 pounds), the team’s lone five-star recruit according to Rivals.com, and Alex Bars (6-6, 290), who is ranked No. 76 in the ESPN 300.

Bars’ father, Joe, played for the Irish from 1981 to 8’84.

He had similar praise for tight end Tyler Luatua (6-3, 241) and 6--4, 215-pound Nic Weishar. Defensively, the Irish signed seven linemen. The linebackers include Crete Monee’s Nyles Morgan (6-2, 223) and Montini Catholic’s Nile Sykes (6-2, 220).

– LaMond Pope

NORTHWESTERN Pat Fitzgerald isn’t much into stats or stars. Even as the Northwestern coach touted his 2014 class on national signing day Wednesday, he had to of known that there was no way of predicting what this group of players will amount to at the college level until he actually gets to coach him.

What did Pat Fitzgerald emerge is that Northwestern is continuing to recruit for depth at its most valued positions. Fitzgerald has made it clear that he’s willing to platoon every position but offensive line.

That even pertains to quarterback. So after using a two-quarterback system this season, would he consider it again? Headlining the 2014 class was Wheaton North quarterback Clayton Thorson, who is only a year behind highly regarded 2013 signee Matt Alviti.

Kain Colter graduated and Trevor Siemian will be a senior this fall.

SIGNING DAY

Alabama rules again; USC surges

By RALPH D. RUSSO The ASSOCIATED PRESS On signing day, Alabama still is No. 1.

A season without a national championship on the field didn’t slow down coach Nick Saban on the recruiting trail. The five-star prospects flocked to Tuscaloosa, including one who went to high school at Auburn.

National signing day had coaches up at the crack of dawn and fax machines beeping on college campuses around the country – Nick Saban though more and more recruits email their National Letter of Intent these days.

Hats were donned, a few commitments were flipped and mostly the rich got richer: National champion Florida State, Ohio State, Stanford, Oklahoma and Notre Dame were among the programs that received high marks.

And as usual, most of the Southeastern Conference got glittering grades from the experts. None better than Alabama. The Crimson Tide sat atop the rankings for Rivals, Scout, 247sports and ESPN. Alabama signed six of 33 players given five-star ratings

by Rivals, including Rashaan Evans, a linebacker from Auburn High School who didn’t decide to roll with the Tide until Wednesday, passing on joining his hometown Tigers.

No other school had more than three five-stars.

“He kind of lapped the field,” Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network said about Saban.

This marks the third straight year and fifth time in the past six years Alabama has Rivals’ top-ranked class.

Ultimately, the strength of the class will be determined in a few years. Good luck topping the 2009 Alabama class with AJ McCarron, Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, D.J. Fluker and Dre Kirkpatrick.

But when it comes to signing day grades, is Alabama’s latest class Saban’s best yet?

“Yes,” said Mike Farrell, national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. “They’re competing against themselves, oftentimes.

“This is the highest point total we have ever had at Rivals. They broke the record last year, and this year they broke it again.”

Other news and notes from signing day: Sark attack: USC’s first signing day with Steve Sarkisian as coach could not have gone much better. Three of the highest-rated players that entered the day undecided picked the Trojans, starting with 360-pound offensive lineman Damien Mama from Bellflower, Calif.

Next up was Adoree’ Jackson from Gardena, Calif. The five-star cornerback put his own spin on the pick-a-hat announcement ceremony by digging through a shopping bag for his choice. He pulled out a sports drink, a sneaker, some other stuff, before slapping on a USC hat. The theatrics fell a bit flat, but no doubt Trojans coaches and fans were entertained in the end.

“Growing up as a little kid, my favorite player was Reggie Bush,” Jackson said.

Jackson also was considering UCLA, LSU and Florida.

“Adoree’ was the big surprise,” Farrell said. “We had no idea what that kid was going to do.”

Finally, it was John Smith, better known as Juju, from Long Beach, Calif., picking USC over Oregon, Notre Dame and UCLA. “Fight on, dude,” Smith said.

The strong finish had USC ranked 10th in the nation by Rivals and Scout.

Momma drama: Malik McDowell wants to go to Michigan State. The five-star defensive end said so Wednesday morning during a news conference at Southfield (Mich.)

High School.

His father, who has said pub-

licly he would rather have his son leave Michigan and go to Ohio State or Florida State, is now on board with that decision.

McDowell’s mother, Joya Crowe, wasn’t at the an-

nouncement. She has said she had a bad experience at Michigan State and wants her son to go elsewhere. Michigan also was in the mix for McDowell.

Crowe’s signature is not re-

quired on the letter of intent.

“Dad’s willing to sign but they want mom on board,” Farrell said.

Michigan State’s official list of signees released

Wednesday afternoon did not have McDowell’s name on it.

Another bit of family drama was reportedly playing out in Oklahoma. Defensive end Deondre Clark of Oklahoma

City was expected to sign with LSU, but now there’s some uncertainty. Clark’s family seems to be urging him to stay close to home and play for the Sooners, Farrell said.

Prairie Ridge was solid throughout the night and now carries the momentum from a regional championship into a sectional meet that will bring much stiffer competition. Despite the early glitches Wednesday, Battaglia feels like his team can shore up its performances when it looks to move on to the state championships.

Youel, Tigers get spark in 4th

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – By the time the fourth quarter arrived in Wednesday’s game against Woodstock North, Crystal Lake Central senior Evelyn Youel was mentally exhausted.

Worn down from trying to find ways to stop the Thunder’s 5-foot11 sophomore center Haley Ahr, who had given Central trouble when she scored 17 in the teams’ previous meeting, the 5-8 Youel still was determined to take over in the fourth for the Tigers. Youel made 5 of 8 free-throw attempts in the fourth to seal the Tigers’ 35-29 Fox Valley Conference Fox Division win.

Central (12-12, 6-4 FVC Fox) scored 16 points in the fourth quarter to nearly match the offense’s production from the first three quarters combined (19 total points). Youel and senior forward Shannon Ellman each finished with a team-high nine points.

“I knew it was going to come down to free throws for who won the game and who lost the game,” Youel said. “I knew our team needed somebody to step up so I tried to be that person.”

The Thunder (9-16, 2-8) seemed headed for trouble in the first quarter. Despite scoring off the game’s opening tip, Woodstock North was held scoreless for the next six minutes until junior guard Ashley Jones knocked down a 3-pointer. Fortunately for the Thunder, Central didn’t fare much better offensively. It took the Tigers until 3:35 was left in the first quarter to score their first points

of the game. They were only able to build a three-point lead until Jones’ 3 tied the score at 5.

Jones provided the scoring Woodstock North desperately needed with Youel in charge of trying to shutdown Ahr, who finished with six points. Jones scored Woodstock North’s first 12 points of the game to help them take a 1411 lead into halftime.

“We had three quarters we could have packed it up and mailed it in and said it’s not our night and we’re done,” Central coach Paul Lichtenheld said. “We fought.”

Unfortunately for the Thunder, Jones, who scored a game-high 12 points, came out of the game with three minutes remaining in the second quarter and did not return.

Jones hurt her back in the first quarter when she dove for a ball going out of bounds and collided with a chair on Central’s bench then hit the cart holding a water cooler.

Jones tried to play through the pain, but Woodstock North coach Mike Lewis said her back kept stiffening up and prevented her from being able to run.

Still, the Thunder had their chanes to close out the win. They led after each of the first three quarters. But once Ellman scored to put Central ahead 25-24 with 3:41 left in the game, Woodstock North wasn’t able to get overcome the deficit.

“Having [Jones] not being able to play hurt, but we’ve got kids that can step up,” Lewis said. “We were in it all the way until they finally took the lead. It was whoever was going to take it first and then you have to foul. Hats off to them for getting their first.”

Ill-stricken Trojans Red Raiders clinch a get past the Eagles share of FVC Valley title

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com ALGONQUIN – Varsity basketball is tough enough without any extenuating circumstances. When the team has the flu or a cold, it is a whole new ballgame. Luckily for Cary-Grove, the Trojans were able to overcome this obstacle and defeat Jacobs, 33-16, to pick up a much needed Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory.

Wednesday’s game was full of momentum swings. Trailing 4-2, Cary-Grove (15-10,6-5 FVC Valley) ended the first quarter and started the second quarter on an 18-2 run, putting the Trojans up 20-6.

Late in the first half, Jacobs (5-19, 2-8) would take control and go on an 8-0 run of its own and pull to within six points early in the third quarter.

That would be the closest the Golden Eagles would get. The Trojans ended the game on a 13-2 run en route to the 16-point victory.

Cary-Grove coach Rod Saffert was pleased with the defensive effort given by his team.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect tonight, since the entire team is sick,” said Saffert. “I was happy with how we defended. Any time you hold a team to just four points in the second half you have a great chance of winning.”

The Trojans defense was the star in their victory over Jacobs.

Cary-Grove forced 16 Golden Eagles turnovers and held Jacobs to just 22 percent shooting. Jacobs was held to just four points in the third quarter and went scoreless in the fourth quarter.

Cary-Grove was led by Sarah Kendeigh with 10 points and nine rebounds. Katie Barker added eight points for the Trojans.

“We wanted to get off to a fast start tonight and we were able to do that,” said Kendeigh. “We were able to force some turnovers and turn them in to baskets. Our goal on defense is to allow single digit points each quarter and tonight we did that.”

For the young Golden Eagles team, coach Joe Benoit couldn’t have been more proud of the defensive effort his team gave.

“Any time you hold Cary-Grove to just 33 points, you have a great chance,” Benoit said. “I’m so proud of the effort that the girls gave tonight. We just couldn’t hit shots, which is rare for us at home.

I’m probably going to have nightmares about all of the shots we missed tonight. The kids battled and did everything I asked. I’m proud of this team.”

Jacobs was led by Talia Surges and Carly Sidor with four points each.

“We’re going to try and shoot for 20 out of 20 routines hit,” Battaglia said. “That’s what we need to do and hopefully, we’ll do that.”

Underwood insists her team is confident.

By CHRIS CASEY sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – The task at hand for the Huntley girls basketball team Wednesday night was simple: beat McHenry and clinch at least a share of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title. Coach Steve Raethz was pleased with the effort in a 50-30 win, but knows his team still has some work to do.

“It’s something we set out to do this season, but we still have a ways to go,” Raethz said. “We would love nothing more than to win it outright, so we need to fix some things up so we can get there as a team.”

The Red Raiders (21-3, 10-0 FVC Valley) trailed 5-0 to begin the game, prompting Raethz to take a quick timeout.

“We really didn’t play with too much enthusiasm to start the game,” Raethz explained. “I give a lot of credit to McHenry. They did some nice things on both sides of the ball and outplayed us during certain parts of the game.”

McHenry (9-16, 1-8) had a tough time containing sisters Ali and Sam Andrews, who scored 33 of the Red Raiders’ 50 points. Ali, who led all scorers with 21, said she expected to see different defenses from the Warriors and just played her game.

“When we play as a team, we’re tough to beat,” said Andrews. “After

they had a quick start, coach just told us to play our game and relax. I think we did both of those and came away with a good win.”

McHenry played a 2-3 zone for a majority of the game and coach Scott Morris knew Wednesday night’s matchup against Huntley would be no easy task.

“Ali’s a great player,” said Morris.

“We did all we could against her but she made some tough shots. Our first half shooting hurt us. We had good looks and just couldn’t knock down shots.

Huntley’s a great team and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make another deep run into the postseason.”

After the quick start by the Warriors, they did not score another point in the quarter, dropping the first, 125. Sophomore Alex Martens led the Warriors with seven points. Senior forward Sawyer Lay added six.

McHenry was able to cut the lead to 31-21 after two third-quarter free throws by Carly Mattson, but were silenced by back-to-back jumpers by Ali Andrews, forcing Morris to call a full timeout.

The Red Raiders can clinch the outright Valley outright with a win Saturday against Jacobs. Raethz wants the girls to take one game at a time, knowing every one matters.

“We had some ups and downs tonight and we need to be playing our best basketball heading into the postseason.”

CARPENTERSVILLE – First-year Dundee-Crown girls basketball coach Sarah Miller took one look at junior guard Jesania Laboy and knew she had potential and was a prime target to slide into a leadership role.

Laboy has answered her coach’s call and has played well, especially as of late, making the Chargers a tough team to face.

The junior scored a career-high 20 points in a win over Crystal Lake South on Monday and followed it up with a 19-point, 11-rebound effort in Wednesday’s 55-45 loss to visiting Prairie Ridge in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play.

“We’ve been asking a lot of her this year and she is really filling those shoes,” Miller said of Laboy. “She is confident with the ball and is playing great both defensively and offensively.”

After a tight first quarter, the Chargers’ 13-12 first-quarter lead was quickly wiped away when Wolves guard, and the McHenryCountySports.com Athlete of the Month, Sarah Le Beau scored 11 of her team’s 15 points in the second quarter on three 3-pointers and two free-throws. Maddie Drain worked underneath the basket and added four points while D-C shot just 5 of 16.

The Wolves offense found Drain numerous times under the basket and when the center didn’t score she drew a foul which put the Chargers into foul trouble the whole game. Prairie Ridge took 23 foul shots to D-C’s five.

Prairie Ridge (16-8 overall, 9-2 FVC Valley) rode the strong play and held a 27-23 lead at half, but it was Laboy who turned things around and put a scare into the Wolves who are trying to keep pace and stay in second place in the Valley.

D-C (7-20, 2-8) came out of halftime shooting 5 of 6 and grabbed their first lead since the first quarter as Melissa Barker hit two 3s before Laboy started to take over.

The 5-foot-10 junior was a menace on the boards and helped grab nearly every offensive rebound while scoring eight points off jumpers and slick drives to the basket. She even grabbed her own rebound on a missed three-throw and scored.

“I was talking to myself throughout the game saying, ‘I need to be aggressive and get those boards,’ ” Laboy said. “Coach has wanted me to help lead the team especially during games like this that are up and down.”

Laboy’s play helped stake the Chargers to a 41-37 lead heading into the fourth quarter before everything clicked for the Wolves. They played smarter basketball and slowed things down offensively and ran their halfcourt offense which helped them cut down on turnovers.

Wolves coach Rob Baker harped on the sidelines to “fight harder and get after it,” and the grinding mentality proved effective as the Wolves opened the fourth on a 10-0 run. D-C missed its first seven shots before a Laboy jumper halfway through the quarter snapped the Wolves’ run.

Kelly Klendworth put the game out of reach by making 5 of 6 free throws for the Wolves in the final minutes.

“We knew [D-C was] getting all of the rebounds and we just worked hard to stop that and get some of our own,” Le Beau said of the fourth quarter. “We just had to be strong inside and close out on their shooters.”

Schilling is taking a leave of absence.

The 47-year-old Schilling, who He recently signed a multiyear conspent 20 years in the major leagues tract extension with the network and before retiring in 2009, divulged the was to be part of the “Sunday Night

“Our thoughts are with Curt and his family during this challenging time,” the Bristol-based network said in a statement.

“His ESPN teamCurt Schilling mates wish him continued strength in his cancer fight and we look forward to welcoming him back to our baseball coverage whenever he’s ready”.

Schilling played for five teams during his Major League career. He

won three world championships, with the Arizona Diamondbacks (2001) and Boston Red Sox (2004, 2007), sharing the World Series MVP award with teammate Randy Johnson in 2001.

He won 216 games and struck out 3,116 batters during his career, but is perhaps best known for pitching in the 2004 ALCS and World Series after having stitches to mend an ankle injury. His bloody sock was later put on display in Cooperstown.

BULLS

Thibs: Players must sacrifice

By JOE COWLEY

Next

jcowley@suntimes.com SAN FRANCISCO – Talk of fourth-quarter playing time and who is or isn’t in the game in the final minutes is dead.

It was read its final rites and put to rest, as far as Tom Thibodeau was concerned

by Wednesday.

And it had nothing to do with the fact that Carlos Boozer hit a key basket with 1:43 left in the eventual 101-92 victory against the Phoenix Suns 24 hours earlier.

B o o z e r had made waves about not playing enough late in games, and although he Carlos Boozer seemed to get his wish, well, he might not want to get too comfortable with the idea that this will be a new trend.

“This is four years now (as the Bulls coach), I’m not changing,” Thibodeau insisted after the victory. “I’m going with the guys that I feel give us the best chance to win, and I don’t care who they are.

When we hit that six-minute mark, it’s based on what we’re doing and what we need.

That’s the way it’s going to be.

“Carlos is a very important part of the team. I need him to play well, I need Taj (Gibson) to play well, I need everyone to play well. For our team to achieve what we ultimately want to achieve, we need to be playing well.

“This isn’t about one person. I’m asking everyone on the team to sacrifice. It’s not just Carlos sacrificing or Taj sacrificing, but I’m asking the entire team to sacrifice for each other, so the team is always going to come first.’’

What also won’t be changing anytime soon is Thibodeau letting his team feel good about itself.

That was a crime it was guilty of after starting off this six-game trip with a victory in San Antonio, only to stumble badly in New Orleans and Sacramento.

That’s why Thibodeau

at Golden State, 9:30 p.m.

Thursday, TNT, WGN, AM-1000 called a meeting during the Tuesday shootaround.

“Thibs had a great speech before the [victory Tuesday against the Suns],” Gibson said. “He kept it simple.

He just said go out there and play hard, play for one another. This is what we got, no one is going to help us.”

The result was a ninepoint triumph over the 29-19 Suns, who were 16-8 at home.

Thibodeau said it was about doing all the little things. But now it’s about bottling it and getting back to some sustained winning.

Therein lies the challenge with this Bulls team.

“You have the grind of the season, and sometimes you don’t realize you’re doing that,” Thibodeau said.

“In your quest to get things going, maybe you dance with the ball, try to make something happen. It’s difficult to make something happen individually. You have to make it happen collectively. When you do that, you give your team a good chance to win.

“Like I told these guys [in the meeting], the intentions were good, but we were misguided. We made the necessary corrections, and we’re going to be challenged the same way by Golden State [on Thursday].”

Good words, but words that some players already knew.

“We knew before Thibs said it,’’ Joakim Noah said.

“We knew [after the Kings] game that [against the Suns] we were going to be on some other [expletive].

“We got punched in the mouth in New Orleans, we got punched in the mouth in Sacramento. We just wanted to come out [against the Suns], compete as a team.

That was a big one for us. The more the adversity, the more we show that we can take our games to another level.”

Hawks win meeting of NHL’s best

By GREG BEACHAM

The Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. – Corey Crawford made 29 saves in his first shutout of the season, and the Blackhawks pulled within one point of Anaheim for the overall NHL lead with a 2-0 victory over the Ducks on Wednesday night.

Marian Hossa scored in the second period and captain Jonathan Toews added

at Phoenix, 8 p.m. Friday, CSN, AM-720 a late goal for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who improved to 3-0-2 on their sixgame trip before the Olympic break.

Jonas Hiller stopped 23 shots for the Ducks, who have lost four of five. Anaheim also

has lost four of its past seven home games after starting the season 20-0-2 at Honda Center.

The two teams combined had 15 Olympians on the Honda Center ice, including five key members of the Canadian team headed to Sochi. In addition, two members of the Swedish team – the Hawks’ Johnny Oduya and Anaheim’s Jakob Silfverberg – were scratched.

The Hawks followed up

their victory in Los Angeles two days ago with another solid effort against the Ducks, suggesting the defending champs are hitting their stride right before Sochi.

The Hawks also took two of three from Anaheim to wrap up the Western Conference powers’ season series. The Hawks (35-10-14, 84 points) are right behind Anaheim (40-145, 85 points) with one game left before the break.

Kane valiantly, professionally answers all questions • TELANDER Continued from page C1 So Kane went through the outrageous stuff, with limos and girls and brew and whatever. I recall he once missed two practices because of what the team called the flu. Right.

In the summer of 2012, he went on a drunken bar crawl through Madison, Wis., wearing a ridiculous T-shirt that had a photo of him on it, drunk. It was a kind of rabbit hole of immaturity, with each successive photo collapsing in on a career maybe ready to detonate.

Then came his teary apology and response for the stupidity – golly, you think there

NBA

are girls with iPhones everywhere to party with? – which had the ring of sincerity.

“It’s still part of my maturation process and something I’m still trying to get better at,” he said, tearing up at the Blackhawks Convention last year. “And the biggest thing, it was embarrassing. That’s from deep within me.”

Kane has said again and again how much his family back home means to him – his parents, sisters and, yes, now his deceased paternal grandparents.

The world is little more than loss, coming from the start, coming from everywhere. But on the ride there are victories and joys.

And the good feelings and

the effort must come even as the sadness and loss does.

Kane is learning this.

Maybe he knows it all now.

Remember, after that tearful apology last year, Kane helped lead the Hawks to their second Stanley Cup championship in four years.

This is the young man who won the Calder Trophy as a rookie, who made the All-Star Game his second year, who became the youngest player in Hawks history to reach 200 points the next year, who scored the game-winning goal in the Hawks’ first Cup win in almost 50 years in 2011, who became only the second Hawk ever to reach 50 points in each of his first six seasons last year, and who should be just

entering his prime.

After he cried Monday night, he valiantly and professionally went on to answer all questions about the Kings game, about teammates, etc., wiping his eyes and nose the entire time. Grandpa Kane still was with him, but life moved on.

So now come the Olympics in Sochi, and Kane will be heading there soon. First, though, there is the funeral mass at 9:30 a.m. Friday at St. Ambrose Church in Buffalo.

If he cries there, we’ll understand.

‘Summer Dreams’ to become Seattle turns up for title parade part of March Madness

By PHUONG LE

The Associated Press

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Michael Carter-Williams spent most of his basketball life trying to say all the right things in public.

Last summer, he finally got a chance to be himself on camera.

The quiet former Syracuse star agreed to let a TV crew profile his journey through the NBA’s summer league and now the whole world can get a glimpse at what is like for a star player when “Summer Dreams” premieres on CBS during the heart of March Madness. An official announcement from CBS and Mandalay Sports Media about the March 15 launch was scheduled for Wednesday.

The reality program fea-

tures four NBA rookie prospects – Carter-Williams, Dallas Mavericks guard Shane Larkin, Romero Osby and Dwayne Davis – NBA referee hopeful Lauren Holtkamp and NBA D-League coach Joel Abelson as they try to take the next big steps in their careers.

Michael Most of the Carter-Williams participants saw it as an opportunity to gain exposure. Carter-Williams wanted others to see a side of life he rarely shows.

“I think the biggest difference was it wasn’t me having to necessarily say the right thing,” the Philadelphia 76ers guard

told The AP. “I could say what I felt about the game. I didn’t have to pretend to be anyone else.”

The show is scheduled to air in a two-hour slot Saturday night after CBS broadcasts its fourth and final game of the day and less than 24 hours before the NCAA tournament pairings are announced on Selection Sunday.

Network executives are betting that will be a ratings winner. But that’s not why executive producer Mike Tollin took on this project.

He wanted to give basketball fans a look into a world that looks like a combination of baseball’s winter meetings and the NFL’s annual scouting combine while providing a platform that goes well beyond the high-profile stars.

SEATTLE – Hundreds of thousands of notoriously loud Seahawks fans cranked up the volume Wednesday, cheering, chanting and going berserk during a parade and ceremony to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise.

The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team.

At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers – the 12th Man – capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers.

Players were introduced indivdually and ended with No. 3, quarterback Russell

Wilson, who walked onto the field pumping the Lombardi Trophy in the air to thunderous applause. “Our plan is to win another one for you next year,” Wilson said later.

Coach Pete Carroll led the crowd in a “Seahawks! Seahawks!” chant and said the team will be back. “We’re just getting warmed up, if you know what I’m talking about,” he said.

Nick Sutton watched the parade from Westlake Center and considered it a highlight when he threw a football to one of the players who threw it back to him. “It’s surreal. It’s hard to believe. Seeing this now, it’s finally sinking in,” he said.

Hundreds of thousands of fan lined the streets of downtown Seattle early in the day and cheered as the players rolled by.

Thousands of students ap-

parently skipped school to attend. Seattle Public Schools said more than 25 percent of the district’s 51,000 students were absent in the morning.

By comparison, about 5 percent were absent the day before. The school district also said 565 teachers were absent, far more than usual.

“This is a historical event, once in a lifetime. To not show up would be blasphemy,” said Jesse Lake, 36, a carpenter from Port Orchard, who stood in the packed parking lot outside CenturyLink Field to greet the team as they arrived.

Shawn Cooper and Marlana Studebaker of Covington staked out a spot hours before the parade started and displayed supersized photo cutouts of Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman, prompting many fans to stop and take photos.

New Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht (right) smiles as he poses for a photo with new head coach Lovie Smith during a news conference Jan. 23 in Tampa, Fla. Licht is the fifth GM in team history.

Winners, losers in NFL regime changes Seven NFL teams – the Texans, Titans, Vikings, Bucs, Lions, Redskins and Browns – have new head coaches to begin the 2014 season, and Tampa Bay and Miami have new general managers, as well.

To pick the winners and losers before any of these men have even had a chance to meet with their players for the first time would be silly.

But there is no question that some teams did better than others in how they handled the process of change. And there is always a working list around the NFL of which coaches and executives might be the most ready to take over top jobs, and who might be wading in a bit over their heads.

The Houston Texans get extremely high marks for moving the most quickly and decisively to hire exactly the guy they wanted before anyone Mike Zimmer else could claim him.

Bill O’Brien was on just about everybody’s list, and Houston is the perfect situation for him, an offensive-minded coach who, with all his Texans back healthy, will have almost everything he needs to contend immediately.

The Tennessee Titans are a very close second and, had they not handled the firing of Mike Munchack so embarrassingly bad, they’d be first. Ken Whisenhunt is another coach who was on every team’s list, was thought to be headed to Detroit, and owner Tommy Smith and GM Ruston Webster pulled quite a coup getting him to come to Nashville.

Some questioned the Minnesota Vikings replacing Leslie Frazier with another defensive coordinator in Mike Zimmer, but the dominance of clubs such as Seattle, San Francisco and Carolina last year is making GM Rick Spielman look pretty smart.

Zimmer is one of those guys who got passed over a half dozen times in recent years and nobody understood why. He’s an outstanding defensive coach whose players listen to him, and the addition of veteran Norv Turner as his offensive coordinator is a perfect fit.

Lovie Smith in Tampa is a mixed bag. Smith knows how to win and probably will win quickly – in the

VIEWS Hub Arkush regular season – with Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and Darrelle Revis ready to go on defense and Doug Martin, Carl Nicks and Davin Joseph all returning from injury or illness to go along with Vincent Jackson on offense. There is some real talent there.

But giving him complete control and allowing him to hire his own GM, Jason Licht, and then add Jeff Tedford as his offensive coordinator was a huge mistake. Neither is close to the best hire he could have made and Tampa might be good but never good enough as a result.

The hiring of Jim Caldwell in Detroit and Jay Gruden in Washington are tough to call.

Caldwell won with Tony Dungy’s team in Indianapolis and then it all fell apart on him just two years later. Now he needs to assemble a winner. Good man, good coach, but I don’t know if he’s the right one.

Jay Gruden did a nice-but-notspectacular job running the offense in Cincinnati, but Daniel Snyder has ruined a lot more accomplished coaches than him. Whether he has the goods and can work with Snyder is anyone’s guess.

The interesting part about new Browns coach Mike Pettine is he’s a good football coach and might surprise a lot of people in Cleveland.

But is he good enough to overcome the clown show owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner appear to be running down there right now? The fact he was their fourth or fifth choice makes it difficult to get excited about his hiring.

The question you have to ask about new Dolphins GM Dennis Hickey is, after doing a nice job of acquiring talent as the director of player personnel in Tampa, why wasn’t he a candidate there, particularly when they hired the somewhat underwhelming Licht?

Did Smith outsmart the Dolphins or himself?

Time for me to eat some crow.

As the Super Bowl quickly got out of hand, I had to concede to your argument that a dominant defense was more important than a dominant offense when it came to winning a title. This is a pretty big deal, as I admit to being wrong about once every seven years.

So here’s my next thought, and I hope I’m wrong about this one, too. The Seahawks are going to be really good for the foreseeable future, and that’s bad news for other NFC contenders such as the Bears. The Seahawks’ average age in 2013 was 25.4 years old, according to Pro Football Reference, while the Bears’ average age was 26.9. Maybe that doesn’t sound like much, but it is. Multiply the age difference by 53 players, and that’s a collective gap of more than 79 years on the two teams’ rosters.

Arkush: Do me a favor please, Tom, save a little crow for me. I knew defenses won championships and still picked the Broncos to win. Where was my head at? Don’t answer that.

As for the age thing, it’s a bit scary for the Bears because not only are they old from an NFL team point of view, 29th oldest in the league on opening day this past season. But they couldn’t have been more average in 2013, finishing 8-8. Old and good you can live with, but old and average is definitely a problem.

The Seahawks are in fact one of the younger teams in the league, but that’s no guarantee of future success. How well the kids handle their celebrity, injuries, the salary cap, there are a ton of things in the NFL that can make teams either mediocre or old or both in a hurry.

Back to the Bears, however.

Now you know why both Phil

The Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. Emery and Marc Trestman were so adamant about making the Bears younger on defense in their season-ending news conference. Youth often translates to speed, athleticism and aggression in the NFL, and you saw what the Seahawks have been able to do with that.

about Emery and Trestman’s “young and athletic” mantra during the Super Bowl. Here’s my concern, however.

Packers (25.4), the Eagles (25.8), and a bunch of other talented teams in the NFC. Arkush: Here’s the tough part of all this to swallow, kind of like swallowing a nice big mouthful of crow. At some point, the Bears have to pay the price for a decade of terrible drafting under former general manager Jerry Angelo

and a pretty rough rookie campaign for Emery, while all those other clubs you just mentioned were doing a much better job.

Too many people focused on the lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball this year when the real problem is, if you look across the entire Bears roster, the only exciting young players you’ll find to build around are Alshon Jeffery and Kyle Long.

In a sport where the average career is 3½ years and players start down the backside of the hill after six to eight years in the league, every other starter on offense has been in the league at least six seasons except Matt Slauson, who’s in his fifth year, and Jordan Mills, who, while a nice find, isn’t what I’d call a young talent to get excited about.

On defense, the players you want to keep – Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings and maybe D.J. Williams – all are in their 30s.

The Bears definitely can compete for another year or two with Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall, etc., but if you want to compare them to Seattle, San Francisco or Carolina, you’ve got to rebuild the whole roster, not just find a few more players on defense.

Musick: At least the Bears should have some sweet endorsements on the horizon. Could you imagine Peppers starring on late-night ads? “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!”

Arkush: I’m not sure that’s Pepp’s style, but I suppose it’s more likely than Briggs accepting an offer to hawk Depends.

There’s no one-size-fits-all recipe for Super Bowl championships.

Just a season ago today, we all were talking about the near geriatric Ravens shocking the world.

If they can change as much on defense this offseason as they did with the offense last year, maybe the Bears can compete with Seattle in 2014. But if they want to compete with them for the next three to five seasons, they need to get younger, faster and more athletic all over the roster, and fast.

ANALYSIS

What Trestman might think of a 3-4 defense

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com When Bears coach Marc Trestman addresses the media at this month’s NFL Combine for the first time in a group setting since Jan. 2, we probably still won’t get any answers about what the 2014 Bears defense will look like.

Until personnel moves are made, it likely will remain a mystery.

In that end-of-season presser, Trestman reiterated the point that the Bears’ scheme is dependent on the players.

“Once we get an evaluation from inside-out of what our players can do, then we’ll move forward with what we can do with them schematically, and then we’ll have an influx of players, as well,” he said, using the “square peg in a round hole” reference, as well.

The speculation began before that news conference.

Potential position switches coming for Shea McClellin and Jon Bostic, plus a proclamation from general manager Phil Emery about a defense getting younger, means new faces in new positions, allowing the flexibility to switch to more three-man fronts.

Would Trestman prefer a switch to a 3-4 defense? We know what the offensive guru thinks about offense, and he stays focused on that side of the ball, but Trestman is the head coach – if the defense fails, it falls on him, too.

What we do have to look at for some evidence is Trestman’s comments about opposing 3-4 defenses. Before the Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he spoke at length about the challenges facing a 30-front.

“It changes how you protect. They’ve got more guys that are able to rush the passer than four down [linemen]. And, because of that, you’ve got to make sure you block the right ones because they’re too big for your backs to block. It goes like that,” Trestman said Sept. 19. “So they come from different places at different times, then they use the same players in their four down and you’ve got to know what position they’re playing. So there’s a lot that goes into it.”

Remember how bad that Bears run defense was in 2013? Well, Trestman was impressed with how the Steelers’ 3-4 played the run.

Masterbrand Cabinetry All Brands!

Expires 02/07/14.

“They’re more gap (control). When we say gap control, they’re more oriented not to rush the passer but to stay in the gap and wait for runs to come at them,” he said. “It’s much more difficult to block them in terms of teams that can press the hole.

We say press the hole and ride the wave, work to the backside backer.

“Their fits are different and they’re not playing their front to rush the passer and defend the run on the way to the quarterback, they’re rushing the passer to stop the run and they’re doing it with internal blitzes and people coming from different levels, which makes it harder to oneon-one block.”

It’s important to note that, although Trestman is speaking somewhat in generalities about a 3-4 defense, he’s answering questions about Dick LeBeau’s Steelers Front 7, perennially one of the best in the league. But we at least have some knowledge of the respect Trestman has for that 3-4 defense.

Whether it’s 3-4 or 4-3, the 2014 Bears defense certainly will mix up schemes and show some hybrid looks, and we will learn more about Trestman’s ideal defensive scheme.

MONUMENTS MEN LIST ‘MOST WANTED’ WORKS

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, February 6, 2014 • Section C • Page 10

Matt Damon stars in “The Monuments Men.”

DALLAS – The Monuments Men helped return almost 5 million works of art and cultural objects looted by the Nazis during World War II, but hundreds of thousands of treasures are still missing. And the Dallas-based foundation focused on honoring the group hopes that a new feature on its website will help recover some of those works. The Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art has compiled a list of “most wanted” works of art and documents.

The work of the U.S. Army’s Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Section is depicted in the new George Clooney movie “The Monuments Men.”

BUZZWORTHY

Snow, slush and Rockettes cause delays NEW YORK – Commuters at the busiest train station in the nation on Wednesday had to factor in snow, sleet, slush – and high-kicking Rockettes.

Eighteen of the dancers each wearing suits embedded with 152 LED lights performed a sneak peek at Grand Central Terminal of their upcoming show “Heart and Lights,” which premieres at Radio City Music Hall on March 27.

The show is written by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Doug Wright and will combine new Rockettes choreography and state-of-the-art technology, including 3D effects, elaborate animatronics, puppetry and GPS elements.

LeBron James teams up with Starz

Medical examiner: Hoffman autopsy results inconclusive NEW YORK – Four people were taken into custody on drug charges after police investigating Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death executed search warrants, two people with knowledge of the investigation said Wednesday, and the medical examiner’s office said more tests are needed to determine what killed him.

There was no timetable for Hoffman’s autopsy to be finished, said medical examiner’s office spokeswoman Julie Bolcer, who declined to discuss the pending tests. Toxicology and tissue tests are typically done in such cases.

Police believe the Oscar-winning actor may have died from a drug overdose, though his death is being investigated as suspicious pending a more definitive ruling by the medical examiner.

Hoffman was found dead Sunday with a needle in his arm, and tests found heroin – but no traces of the potent synthetic morphine additive fentanyl, which is added to intensify the high and has been linked to 22 suspected overdose deaths in western Pennsylvania – in samples from at least 50 packets in his apartment in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, law enforcement officials have said.

The four people were taken into custody Tuesday night after police executed search warrants at several city apartments based on a tip provided by a confidential source that they may have supplied Hoffman with drugs, according to two people with knowledge of the investigation who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because investigators have not obtained evidence to corroborate the reported connection.

NEW YORK – LeBron James is no stranger to getting the green light to shoot, but this time it’s for a scripted comedy series set in the world of professional basketball.

Starz network is giving the go-ahead to his sitcom, “Survivor’s Remorse.” The Miami Heat star will serve as an executive producer of the half-hour show. He will team with Tom Werner, a force behind series such as “The Cosby Show” and “Roseanne.” Actor-writer Mike O’Malley will also be an executive producer.

The story follows Cam Calloway, a basketball phenom in his early 20s who is thrust into prominence after signing a multi-million-dollar contract with a pro team in Atlanta.

Its six-episode first season airs this fall. The network didn’t announce any cast members.

Dylan Farrow’s brother defends Allen NEW YORK – Woody Allen’s adopted son has defended him against accusations he molested his then-7-year-old adopted daughter in 1992.

Moses Farrow told People magazine in an interview published Wednesday that Allen “of course” did not molest Moses’ younger sister, Dylan Farrow.

Moses Farrow and Dylan Farrow were adopted by Allen and actress Mia Farrow. Dylan Farrow recently wrote an open letter to The New York Times saying she was abused and detailing what she says happened.

New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan, who had been critical of the Times’ handling of Dylan Farrow’s accusation, wrote in an online post Wednesday that Allen has requested the opportunity to submit a response to her letter. A spokeswoman for the Times confirmed that Allen’s request was granted.

Clay Aiken to run for Congress in N.C. RALEIGH, N.C. – Former “American Idol” and “Celebrity Apprentice” runner-up Clay Aiken joined another high-profile contest Wednesday – this one to get elected to Congress in his native North Carolina.

Aiken announced he would seek the Democratic nomination for the 2nd Congressional District seat currently held by Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers. The entertainer is talking about his non-singing career as a special education teacher, UNICEF representative and presidential commission member on education while explaining his reason for getting in the race.

Discovery to air flight off Everest peak NEW YORK – Discovery Channel plans a live broadcast of the first wingsuit flight off the summit of Mount Everest.

High-altitude climber Joby Ogwyn will make the attempt in May, and Discovery announced Wednesday that it will be there to cover it.

The network will air a live two-hour broadcast showing the California native as he battles conditions on the way to the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, then takes the plunge. His custom-made wingsuit will be equipped with cameras to capture the descent of more than 10,000 vertical feet at speeds exceeding 150 mph.

Kids’ handheld electronics may Gentle stretching helps relieve be more than fun and games stiff, painful hands and wrists Dear Abby: I am writing about the letter from “Holding My Tongue” (Nov. 8), the woman who was upset because many children were playing with electronic devices during her grandchildren’s school concerts and recitals. While I agree most children should pay attention to the event at hand, as the mother of two children on the autism spectrum, I have a different perspective.

There are apps and games designed to keep these children occupied and help them deal with the stress and anxiety of being in a large group of people. I should not have to leave my sons at home because they are on the spectrum, so a harmless, quiet game that allows them to participate without being disruptive is a godsend to me.

Sometimes it is not obvious why someone is doing something; so as long as it isn’t disrupting the event, please try to be tolerant. – Laura In Pennsylvania Dear Laura: Your point is well-stated, and was one made by a number of parents of children with special needs. Readers had interesting comments on this topic, so I’m sharing a few: Dear Abby: If there’s a possibility young children could be unruly during a performance, I think they should be allowed to use a tablet or something to keep them occupied.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter or afford one.

When children get dragged

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to programs they have no interest in, they lose patience and become fidgety. If given something to occupy their attention, as long as it has headphones, then I don’t see a problem. I’d rather have that than kids shouting, screaming and crying because they’re unhappy being there. – Understanding

In Louisiana Dear Abby: In this digital age, we have lost touch with basic common decency and respect for others. I not only notice this in children, but adults as well. I have seen people check their emails while they are in church, or couples sitting together at a restaurant, both fixated on their electronic devices and not speaking a word to each other.

It’s sad to imagine what the next generation will be like if we don’t start putting the devices down and interacting with each other again like human beings. I raised all three of my kids this way, so I know it’s not impossible. – Maintaining

Human Contact Dear Abby: When my precious mother passed away last summer, my sister-inlaw brought two handheld games to the funeral. My niece and nephew played and played while the pastor spoke about my mother.

It was the last straw for

me in a series of incredibly rude actions over the years.

My children also were appalled. When respect is no longer taught at home, we sink to the lowest level as a society. – Debra On The East

Coast Dear Abby: I have stopped attending my friends’ grandchildren’s recitals because I, too, cannot tolerate rudeness. Many parents today just don’t want to bother with their children. If there is a toy that can keep them busy, their parents “enable” them to grow up as idiots who can’t appreciate the world and its beauty because their world is lived entirely on an electronic screen. –

George In South Carolina Dear Abby: What parents who allow this type of behavior don’t seem to understand is it transfers to the classroom. Their children assume it’s OK to ignore the teacher, the lesson and instructions that in some cases could save a life. – Frustrat-

ed Educator In Miami Dear Abby: I used to conduct workshops for teachers on how to instruct with newspapers. When I started my lecture, I would begin by saying, “OK, teachers, turn off your iPads, iPhones and iPods, because I don’t want to become iRate.” They loved it, and it was a great kickoff for the lecture. – Al-

Dear Dr. K: I’m bothered by pain and stiffness in my hands. It’s nothing significant, but enough to interfere with some tasks. Are there any exercises that might help?

Dear Reader: You never realize how many different and essential things you do with your hands until something happens to them. Pain, stiffness or swollen joints can transform even a simple task into a painful ordeal.

And millions of people have problems using their hands.

Fortunately, the right exercises may help. Start by asking your doctor if you should work with a hand therapist – an occupational or physical therapist who has specialized education and training in hand rehabilitation.

The first thing the therapist will do is evaluate your hand’s range of motion and strength, as well as any pain, swelling or physical limitations. Based on these observations, he or she will suggest specific exercises to suit your needs.

When a joint hurts, you use it less – and thereby experience less pain. So far, so good. But when you don’t use a joint, it tends to stiffen further. Sometimes it gets “frozen” and no longer can

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff do everything it once did.

Take your thumb, for example. Hold your hands straight out in front of you, palms down. Spread the fingers wide apart and point the tips of your thumbs as far as they will go up toward the ceiling. Now with the tip of the thumb, touch the very bottom of the little finger of the same hand. If you could not do that, the full range of motion of your thumbs has been lost. And you may have trouble doing many things each day you previously took for granted, such as opening a jar.

Exercises can help increase the range of motion of a joint such as a thumb.

The exercises involve gentle stretching (a little pain, but worth the gain).

The exercises also involve strengthening the muscles that move the joint. Put a finger on the skin below the base of your thumb. Now with the tip of the thumb touch the bottom of your little finger again, and feel what’s happening under the skin. You can feel the muscle that moves your

thumb get thick and tense.

That’s because it’s working.

But when you avoid using your thumb and fingers, the muscles that move them get weak. To regain the full use of your hand, you may need exercises to strengthen muscles that have weakened from disuse.

If you do repetitive tasks, such as typing or gripping gardening tools, your muscles may shorten and become tight and painful.

Stretching exercises help lengthen your muscles and tendons. These exercises are particularly helpful for people who work at computers for long time periods.

On my website, www. askdoctork.com, I’ve put illustrations and descriptions of a few exercises commonly recommended for hand and wrist problems. Perform these exercises slowly and deliberately to avoid pain and injury. If you feel numbness or sharp pain during or after exercising, stop and contact your doctor. Usually, however, careful and regular exercises yield only benefits.

Old House New House show begins Friday in St. Charles ST. CHARLES – Cabin fever will contribute to the thousands of people expected to attend the Old House New House show, which begins Friday and continues through Sunday at Pheasant Run Resort.

“With this wintry weather, which has been severe recently, there are people who have been stuck indoors quite a bit and want to get out,” show organizer Laura McNamara said.

“We think cabin fever is pretty pronounced this year and a lot of those suffering from it are going to come to the show just because of that.

We expect 10,000 people to attend the show.”

The biannual show has been sponsored by Kennedy Productions since 1977, and McNamara based her attendance projections on past events.

Daily hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Jerry Kuyper Admission is $7, and $4 for those 62 years and older. Those younger than 18 years of age are admitted free.

Parking also is free.

A portion of ticket proceeds are donated to Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley and its ReStore in Elgin.

Besides the 250 to 300 exhibitors, McNamara said, attractions include Lou Manfredini, Chicago WGN AM radio’s Mr. Fix It. Manfredini has been a fixture at the show since the mid-1990s, but Saturday he will do a live telecast from 7 to 10 a.m. in the resort’s New Orleans

Organizing, beautifying landscapes among topics at home show • SHOW Continued from page E1 Pudlik is with Legacy Design and Construction, based in St. Charles, and Ubben is design manager for Ryco Landscaping of South Barrington.

At 1 p.m. each day, Scott Skiermanski, president of Stoneridge Builders, will explore budget and remodeling strategies for bathrooms.

An Energy Star and certified green builder, Skiermanski’s company is based in Prairie Grove.

Representatives of Normandy Remodeling in Hinsdale will present new trends for kitchens in surfaces, styles and space planning at 2 p.m.

Other attractions include a drawing for a $1,000 home show gift certificate. No purchase is necessary.

For information, call 630-515-1160, email laura@ kennedyproductions.com or visit www.kennedyproductions.com.

••• Besides the February event, there is another Old House New House show in September. This year, it will be Sept. 27-28. McNamara estimates 250 to 300 exhibitors.

She projects attendance to be 5,000 to 7,000.

The shows host the latest in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, new construction, remodeling, landscaping, HVAC, insulation, roofing, waterproofing, windows, tile, flooring and Jennifer Prell of Cary.

Prell has a unique business. As the boss of Paxem Inc., she oversees the decluttering of living spaces. In other words, she cleans them up. They can be apartments, condominiums, houses, garages, almost any structure that lends itself to collecting junk, some of it meaningful, much of it not, a lot of it useless, a few pieces with heirloom value to them.

Prell has rented a booth at the February and September shows since 2004. For her, the early fall show costs $950 and the midwinter event $1,250.

The payback is not always immediate.

“We do get business, but it may not be today. Maybe it will be next year or in the next five years, but the business does come,” Prell said.

“Besides the business angle, it is a fun event. People are polite and come and ask questions. It is not like other fairs. It is very unique.

Consumers find products, anything they want to find at the show. Plus the vendors are very friendly, too.

“We have made quite a few friends over the years from

Paxem’s services include decluttering homes for clients, as well as moving and estate sales.

the show. It is like a reunion every year.”

As far as clutter goes, Prell and her staff of 15 part-timers have encountered some doozies.

One that stands out in Prell’s mind is of a woman who lived in a car because her apartment was too cluttered for use. The woman met Prell at an Old House New House show. They talked, and later the woman asked Prell for help.

“Her apartment was simply packed so full of clutter, there was no room in it. If you opened the front door to the apartment, that was the only open space you could use. So she started living in her car. We cleaned out the apartment, moved her back in and today she is doing well. She slept in her car as she had no room in her apartment,” Prell said.

“She was divorced, she was in her 40s and she

worked full time. She showered at the health club, kept changes of clothes in her car, and nobody ever knew. It took two people about a week to clean out her apartment.

We donated the stuff to various groups,” Prell added.

“She collected mostly office supplies in her apartment. It was a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, bathroom, kitchen and 1,000 to 1,200 square feet of living space. She went back to living in her apartment, and she got her life back. A year later, she wanted to move, so we helped her move. She was toeing the line as far as cluttering was concerned.

She was a sweetheart and very nice. She never called us again.”

Prell said her first visit to

a potential customer is free.

“We give a free onsite consultation and give an idea what it will cost. If they want us, fine. If not, that is OK too.

If we see they do not need us, we tell them that. It might be a matter of simply carrying out a little garbage. When we get a job, typically, we send two to four people out to start.

We do not want to overwhelm anyone.”

The cost is $60 per hour per employee.

“No one is the same. Every situation is different. Once we determine the services you need and want, then it becomes a matter of affordability, and we talk about that. Sometimes we come in and we aren’t needed at all.

We tell the people not to pay for something they don’t need

and tell them why they do not need us. And then leave, hopefully leaving them happier and knowing they saved themselves some money.”

Prell also oversees a moving company, and business has been so good she will have to expand her workforce from 15 to 25 by summer. She will pack, inventory, ship and direct the unloading of a move in the continental United States.

“We pack and inventory everything that goes onto a moving truck,” Prell said.

“We make sure all is on the truck, and we use a reputable moving company, but people can use whoever they like.

It depends on who we are helping.

“We want a reputable mover, one we trust. If we pack it, we cover 100 percent of it. If the carton is damaged, say one with dishes in it, that is the mover’s responsibility. That is why you want someone at the truck watching the loading. You want it all to get out properly. On the other end, we can watch the truck unload. We inspect the boxes, furniture, inventory everything before and after the move. That’s part of our management service.

We make moves so easy that people tell us they want to move again.”

In 2013, Prell opened an estate sales division. Payment with estate sales is by percentage of the total take.

“I charge 35 percent, and the owner gets the other 65 percent. I do not charge them for my normal advertising, but if they go outside the norm, the customer picks up the bill,” Prell said. If they want me to get rid of what is left after the sale, we will see to that. If it is donatable, we call a charity. If it is high end, we go online to sell. We make sure the client is taken care of.”

••• Since 1977, the Kennedy family has presented events, including the twice-yearly Old House New House show at Pheasant Run Resort.

This women-owned business researches and selects companies with cutting-edge products and superior services to provide a reliable resource for homeowners, McNamara said.

When it comes to choosing exhibitors for the show, McNamara and staff are careful.

“Our aim is to help homeowners make well-informed decisions on home improvements. The exhibitors and presenters affiliated with this event must be of the highest caliber,” she said.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

When you look at all 52 cards of some bridge deals, it is not clear how either the bidding or the play will go. This layout arose during a social game with strong players.

What was the outcome in six clubs after West led the heart king?

The auction was involved.

North’s negative double showed his four-card spade suit. Then, when South indicated extra values by jumping to three no-trump, North bid his long diamond suit.

South control-bid (cue-bid) four hearts to suggest a slam.

West’s double was futile. And, inally, South chose six clubs.

Both six clubs and six diamonds can be made, but each requires double-dummy play.

(Declarer must know where all of the cards lie.)

The expert in six clubs adopted a sensible line. After winning with his heart ace, South ran his diamond queen to East’s king.

East, thinking his partner would have led a singleton if he had one, returned a heart.

But declarer ruffed in the

dummy, cashed the club king, crossed to the spade king, and drew trumps, squeezing East in spades and diamonds (not that it mattered, because South could have established dummy’s diamond suit).

East should have returned a diamond. If South had had a singleton queen, he was unlikely to have rebid three no-trump. Also, even if he had, the diamond lead probably would not have cost.

West would have needed a trump trick to defeat the contract, which was not likely to evaporate.

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Size up your situation and figure out what you want. Do not slow down until you reach your goal.

Use your desire and determination to get started, and the rest will fall into place. Stay focused and strive for the success you’ve been searching for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Investments will pay off. Fixing up something you want to sell will add to its value and give you a seller’s advantage. Don’t worry about pleasing everyone. Do what’s best for you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Participate in community events to develop new friendships. A journey that takes you somewhere mentally, spiritually or physically will be enlightening. Strive for perfection.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Discuss your plans with someone you respect or trust and you will find a way to make your dreams come true. Concentrate on what’s important; taking on too much will deter progress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Review your personal situation and consider how you can make an important relationship better. Special plans will help bring you closer to the one you love.

GEORGIO’S Chicago Pizzeria & Pub Downtown Crystal Lake Chicago’s food culture is unlike any other, and the conversation always begins and ends with pizza! Not just any pizza, but authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza, like the one served at Georgio’s Chicago Pizzeria & Pub. The founders of Georgio’s actually learned how to make deep dish pizza from the two ladies who invented it back in the 1940’s, and they carry on this Chicago tradition today! And it’s not just the pizza that keeps people flocking to Georgio’s.

Georgio’s has a simple menu, highlighted by its deep dish pizza, and complimented by crispy thin crust pizza, homemade pastas, and other delicious dishes. Owner Brian Coli says “We’re passionate about every item on our menu, the ingredients that we use, and the methods that are used to prepare them. Having a simple menu allows us to give an intense amount of attention to every item. I can honestly say I’m proud to serve every item that’s on our menu, and if I wasn’t, it wouldn’t be there.”

Georgio’s is quickly gaining national attention for authentic deep dish pizza creation. In 2012, Georgio’s put its pizza up against the best at the Chicago Pizza Fest, and came home with the 1st place award for “Best Chicago-style Pizza”! Visit one of Georgio’s 2 suburban locations (Crystal Lake and S. Barrington), and try the pizza that everyone is talking about!

F

ans of Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” take note.

The classic live radio show might be an old concept, dating back to at least 1974, but area performers, musicians and artists are giving it a fresh spin.

The Woodstock Roundup Radio Program, modeled after Keillor’s widely popular show, will debut Feb. 9 at the Starline Factory Building, 300 W. Front St., Harvard. The show will run from 5 to 6 p.m., with doors opening at 4:30 p.m. It is free, but donations are suggested.

Not only are audiences invited to watch the program live, but they also can listen to it on Harvard Community Radio. It will be streamed online at www.harvardcommunityradio.com.

Joe Pesz created a smaller version of the program in 2009, hosting it at Stage Left Café in Woodstock for a couple of years.

But his aspirations for the program outgrew the space.

“We didn’t have any room to move,” said Pesz, a member of the Stage Leftovers, a group that performs regularly at the Stage Left Café.

A fan of “A Prairie Home Companion,” Pesz sought to feature the area’s performers, songwriters, musicians, comedians, authors and artists. Intermixed with songs, the show features skits and interviews through the use of a rotating ensemble cast, he said.

The skits will involve characters similar to the type of characters seen on shows such as “Saturday Night Live.”

“It’s more of a review than a traditional theatrical show,” Pesz said.

Each show will focus on current news topics, such as the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ American debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” which is being featured in the debut.

The cast also will touch on the new farm bill, with a humorous take on how technology has changed farming called “Down on the Farm in the 21st Century,” Pesz said.

With the Starline Factory, a historical home for art galleries, musical events, weddings and special occasions, looking to expand its offerings, the site was ideal for the program, he said.

Les Urban (above left) of Crystal Lake and Rich Prezioso of Cary set up their instruments during practice for a new variety show, the Woodstock Roundup Radio Program, at the Starline Factory building in Harvard.

The show is performed in front of a live audience and will feature sketch comedy, music, authors and other people of interest from the area in the style of Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” BELOW: Prezioso (left) talks with Urban and Kate Moretti of Island Lake during a practice for the show.

“You’re not just going skit, skit, skit. It has a variety show feel to it that I like. ... I just feel like we have a really sharp group. They’re witty.

They’re all musical.”

Angie Kells Founder and executive director of Riverview Theatre Company in McHenry and a theater director at McHenry’s District 156 herself.

As founder and executive director of Riverview Theatre Company in McHenry and a theater director at McHenry’s District 156, Kells thought the idea was unique.

“I like the freedom of this,” she said. “I already had that fondness for this type of venue.”

The addition of music and song, as well as interviews, takes the program beyond what

you might see on “Saturday Night Live” or at Second City, she said.

“You’re not just going skit, skit, skit,” she said. “It has a variety show feel to it that I like. ... I just feel like we have a really sharp group. They’re witty. They’re all musical.

“I think it’s one of those things that’s sort of going to be a grass-roots thing. I’m excited to be involved in something else that’s like it.

It has a newness to it.”

‘Monuments Men’ misses mark

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press George Clooney, movie director, started out with so much promise.

He began with two stories about television’s power, both to distort reality (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” about “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris) and to reveal it (“Good Night, and Good Luck,” about Edward R. Murrow). Neither was perfect, but the films showed tremendous potential, particularly the latter, with its thick clouds of paranoia and cigarette smoke.

But Clooney has gone somewhat astray, with the football comedy “Leatherheads,” the political thriller “The Ides of March” and now “The Monuments Men.” They’re not bad pictures, but nostalgia – made urgent in “Good Night” – suffocates the World War II caper “The Monuments Men” as it did the screwball ode “Leatherheads.”

Clooney’s taste is very good, and in adapting Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter’s book by the same title about the Allied forces’ pursuit of art masterpieces stolen by Nazis, he has chosen a fascinating historical tale that also bears the intriguing question: What’s the price we’re willing to pay for art?

But while a Michelangelo may be worth dying for, “The Monuments Men” is, at best, adequately priced as a movie ticket. Clooney, working from a script he penned with his frequent collaborator Grant Heslov, has fashioned his film as a traditional WWII flick, with a “Great Escape”-like score by Alexan-

“Monuments Men” STARRING: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett PLOT: An unlikely World War II platoon are tasked to rescue art masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their owners.

RATED: PG-13, for some images of war violence and historical smoking RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes dre Desplat and a sentimental kind of soldierly chumminess.

Only this band of brothers is more like an assembly of academics. A handful of museum curators and art experts have been gathered by art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) to investigate and retake the troves of artwork the Nazis have stolen for a mammoth German museum planned by Hitler.

The platoon is ill-suited for war but bold in spirit: an art restorer (Matt Damon), an architect (Bill Murray), a sculptor (John Goodman), a British museum head (Hugh Bonneville), a theater producer (Bob Balaban) and a French painting instructor (Jean Dujardin).

Some of the pairings are fitting: Clooney and Damon planning another heist (“Ocean’s Thirteen”); Dujardin and Goodman back on speaking terms (“The Artist”).

In truth, more than 300 Allied servicemen and women worked in the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program in the final years of the war.

They helped lead to the recovery of

about 6 million objects (estimates vary).

Most of the names in the film have been changed, and the mission has been made significantly more romantic.

Cate Blanchett plays a reluctant-tocooperate assistant curator from Paris’ Jeu de Paume museum.

A book by real-life Rose Valland inspired John Frankenheimer’s 1964 film, “The Train,” with Burt Lancaster.

It portrayed the French Resistance effort to derail a train of stolen art taken from the Jeu de Paume. With the cunning of sabotage and the soot of the train yard, “The Train” makes a superior and grittier film.

“The Monuments Men” is instead weighed down by dutifulness. It feels like it’s only a third act, lacking any buildup of tension or character development.

When Stokes solemnly argues early in the film about risking life for the recovery of what he calls “the foundation of modern society,” the movie has presented its thesis statement, and settled any debate. Though deadly encounters follow, the nobility of the quest is unchallenged.

With this film, Clooney (who enjoys a self-satisfying scene telling off a Nazi) has erected a stiff monument, a worthy if undramatic tribute to those it’s based on.

One wishes the movie had arrived 11 years earlier. Maybe it would have raised enough awareness to take precautions ahead of the toppling of Saddam Hussein, when Baghdad’s Iraq museum was looted of thousands of antiquities.

‘The Lego Movie’ revels in subversive fun

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post There are so many things to like about “The Lego Movie”: a great voice cast, clever dialogue and a handsome blend of stop-motion and CGI animation that feels lovingly retro, while still looking sharp in 21st-century 3-D. But the best thing about this movie, which was produced in full partnership with the Danish toymaker famous for its plastic-brick building system, is its subversive nature.

While clearly filled with affection for – and marketing tie-ins to – the titular product that’s front and center, it’s also something of a sharp plastic brick flung in the eye of its corporate sponsor.

Once celebrated for fostering creativity through simple yet versatile sets that could be combined into a wide variety of structures – a barn, a boat, a plane – the 80-year old Lego company is probably best known today as a purveyor of narrowly proscribed model kits with hundreds of highly specialized pieces designed to replicate, in meticulous detail, say, the A-wing starfighter from “Star Wars,” and nothing else.

The most essential item of the modern Lego set has become, unfortunately, the instruction booklet.

“The Lego Movie” STARRING: Will Arnett, Will Ferrell and Elizabeth Banks

PLOT: An ordinary Lego mini igure, mistakenly thought to be the MasterBuilder, is recruited to join an effort to stop an evil Lego tyrant from gluing the universe together.

RATED: PG, for mild action and some rude, nose-thumbing humor RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes Thankfully, and somewhat surprisingly, “The Lego Movie” takes dead aim at this disturbing trend, undermining, with delightful results, the hegemony of a creative toy that comes with its own set of inflexible rules. “The Lego Movie” is an homage to the spirit of the iconoclast (i.e., the child).

Its hero, ironically, is anything but a rule-breaker. Set in a world built entirely of Legos, the story revolves around construction worker Emmet Brickowski (voice of Chris Pratt), a tiny plastic Everyman who loves nothing better than following instructions. But when his Lego universe is threatened by an evil villain (Will Ferrell) who intends to glue all the world’s pieces – and its people – together, Emmet must join forces with

a group of rebels to stop him. (In a nod to the term Lego uses to designate its in-house designers, these creative free spirits are known as “master builders.”)

Guided by a leader who’s part Gandalf and part Morpheus (Morgan Freeman), this underground resistance movement consists of a fittingly motley crew: a punk-ish loner named Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks); her egotistical boyfriend, Batman (Will Arnett); a well-worn Lego spaceman figure from the mid-1980s (Charlie Day); and a robot-pirate hybrid named Metal Beard (Nick Offerman).

The rest of the freedom fighters are a cheeky mix of Lego-sized historical personages (Abraham Lincoln, Shakespeare and Shaquille O’Neil) and co-branded comic book heroes (Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman and others).

Keep an ear out for cameos by such stars as Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Billy Dee Williams, good-naturedly reprising his role as Lando Calrissian from the “Star Wars” trilogy. It’s hard not to have fun when the film (written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) is having such a good time with pop culture.

The chief party animal, of course, is Ferrell. Overplaying his character, Lord Business, like a distant cousin

of his dim-witted “Megamind” villain, the actor once again gets tons of comic mileage out of his patented silly grandiloquence. (“Nail polish remover” – a deadly weapon if you’re a plastic toy and your face has been painted on – becomes, in Ferrell’s threatening delivery, the “poe-leash remover of nah-eel.”)

“The Lego Movie” pokes fun at anyone who would argue that Lego products are, as one character puts it, “a highly sophisticated, interlocking brick system,” and not simply toys.

But it also makes fun of itself, tweaking the conventions of narrative filmmaking, animation and Lego modelmaking itself. It’s a constant pleasure to discover how the animators have figured out how to render such unbricklike substances as water, soap bubbles, the steam from a locomotive or flames.

The moral of this story is a sweet and uncomplicated one: Believe in yourself; everyone is special; there’s a time to follow the rules and a time to break them. Sure, those sentiments are cloying. In fact, they sound like something you’d see on one of those stupid, inspirational cat posters, don’t they?

As it turns out, that’s exactly how a character in this adorably acerbic little movie describes them.

Williams Street Repertory to stage ‘She Loves Me’

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Roger Zawacki has wanted to direct the musical “She Loves Me” for more than 40 years.

He finally got his chance with Crystal Lake-based theater company Williams Street Repertory.

“I’m in seventh heaven with my favorite small musical of almost all time,” Zawacki said. “I’m having a wonderful time with this show.”

“She Loves Me” opens at 8 p.m. Feb. 7 and runs through Feb. 16 at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake. For tickets and information, visit www.rauecenter.org.

Based on the third adaption of the play, “Parfumerie,” by Hungarian playwright Miklos Laszlo, the musical follows the storyline of the 1998 film version, “You’ve Got Mail” featuring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

In the musical, the plot revolves around Budapest shop employees Georg Nowack and Amalia Balash who, despite being consistently at odds with one another at work, are unaware that each is the other’s secret pen pal met through lonely-hearts ads.

The musical premiered on Broadway in 1963.

“Most theater people consider it one of the best theater scores written and

probably the best of the 1960s,” Zawacki said. “None of the songs really became famous, but they’re all wonderful and fit the story and the mood and the characters so perfectly.”

It’s described as the ideal show to see on and around Valentine’s Day. Funny, honest, sentimental, warm, romantic.

“It’s one of those shows if you don’t walk out of the theater smiling, then we have not done our job,” said Amanda Flahive, who plays Ilona in the musical and manages the Sage Studio theater workshop program for the Raue.

“That’s our goal in this show, to really truly make people fall in love with the characters,” she said. “There’s a lot of dance and pretty candy-colored costumes. It’s just a fun, happy, lighthearted musical.”

The show comes on the heals of Williams Street Repertory’s recent awards for a different type of musical, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Performed last October, that show won four BroadwayWorld Chicago awards. The theater company’s next production is “Barefoot in the Park,” starring Flahive and opening in May. Since forming several years ago, the company’s reputation has grown.

“Williams Street is definitely making their name prominent,” said Deric Gouchenauer of Chicago, who plays the lead, Georg, in “She Loves Me.” “I

Feb. 9 and 16 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Tickets start at $25. Information is available at www.rauecenter.org or 815-356-9212. think in a couple years you’ll see more Chicago actors coming out.”

As Georg, Gouchenauer said he has gotten a rare opportunity to play a lead, as he’s usually cast as “the second banana, the guy who falls down and makes everybody laugh.”

“But ‘She Loves Me’ is a show where the second banana really gets to be in the spotlight,” he said. “He’s kind of a goofy personality that gets to fall in love with the girl. He’s more of an everyman that people can really relate to.”

Since garnering attention for “Sweeney Todd,” Williams Street Repertory has gained a whole new audience, those involved said.

That, combined with Zawacki’s enthusiasm, has made “She Loves Me” an endearing project for all involved, Flahive said.

“He brings his passion to the project every day,” she said of Zawacki. “When you’re working with someone who’s wanted to do the show for so long, it takes on this special importance. I’ve always loved the show and thought it’s a classic and adorable piece of musical theater.”
