Background music search continues

All I want is a little soothing background music. Is that asking too much?

And I had it set up on my computer with this very cool website called Pandora, where you can create your own music stations depending on your mood. Rock, country, classical, Christmas, New Age, you name it. Every so often, it is interrupted by an advertisement, but usually never more than 30 seconds, then back to music.

If you don’t like the piece, you can click on thumbs-down, and, I’m assuming, it won’t play it anymore. Or if you like it, you can click on thumbs-up, and it is added to your playlist along with similar music. Best of all, it is free, although you can pay for a subscription for a modest amount of money a month: Fewer commercial interruptions, I think. But I was satisfied. I’m cheap.

I settled into my New Age/ambient station.

Very relaxing. Very soothing. Nothing jarring, other than the occasional advertisement, and that could be overlooked.

But I found out that I was using too much bandwidth, whatever that is. And I could go to the Incredible Internet to find out, but that’s not going to solve my problem. Knowing what it is won’t make me feel any better. I simply don’t have enough of it, and it mucks up the works.

It’s always something irritating, isn’t it?

So I pulled out my CD player, which has a built-in radio. Radio would work, if I could find a suitable station. I like rock as much as the next guy, but I don’t want to listen to it when I am concentrating on other things, such as work.

I don’t want to listen to radio hosts talk about the day’s events. I don’t want to listen to 10 minutes of advertising. I’ve got a lot of don’ts.

I settled on my go-to station, WNIU 90.5 FM, the classical National Public Radio station out of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Lots of soothing classical music, few commercial – or in this case, sponsor – interruptions. It was perfect.

I still prefer Pandora, but WNIU comes in close second. And I was happy with it. I could concentrate and not be distracted. You have to be resilient and make accommodations. So I couldn’t complain.

But I’ve noticed in the past month that my radio station is being impinged upon by other stations next to it. WNIU will be playing along fine, then suddenly the station fills with static and the station next to it on the dial bleeds in, ruining the entire experience. I don’t know

VIEWS Dick Peterson

whether since the first of the year those other stations have begun broadcasting on either side of 90.5 FM, but it sure seems like it, and their signal is stronger that 90.5’s in Woodstock.

And radio signals are a tricky thing. If you are standing next to the radio and you are adjusting the dial ever so slightly, your body acts as an antenna, and you get better reception.

But walk a foot away, and you get static. I’m not made of metal, so I don’t understand it. And it’s completely frustrating to hone in on your station, and it’s coming in perfectly, only to lose it a step or two away.

The stations on either side of WNIU have the same problem: They come in fine when you have your hand on the tuning knob, but they fill with static once you step away a foot or two. I could go further down the dial for other stations, but there’s only one other classical station in the area, WFMT 98.7 FM out of Chicago, and my radio isn’t strong enough to pull that in at all.

I can choose from rock, country, contemporary Christian, rap and talk, but none of those satisfy the mood I am in when I am trying to concentrate and want just a little quiet background music, nothing loud, just barely perceptible to my ear. I would even accept a jazz station, but I haven’t found any. So, I am stuck. I have resorted to turning the radio off and listening to the sounds of silence. And I don’t like it.

My good wife suggests that I take out my classical CD collection – and I could throw in some jazz to mix it up – and start listening to that.

That means changing the CD every 45 minutes or hour, extra work, but that might be what I’m up against. I have all of these CDs that I don’t listen to, and it would put them to work. Not a bad idea.

I’d rather listen to Pandora or the radio effortlessly, but those options don’t seem to be on the deck. So it’s on to Plan B – CDs. We’ll see how it works.

Kenneally, Regna on the attack in candidacies for state’s attorney

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The two Republican candidates for McHenry County state’s attorney talked about their records, and attacked each other’s, during their meeting with the Northwest Herald Editorial Board.

Patrick Kenneally and Dan Regna came out swinging, and rarely stopped, during Tuesday’s meeting, which along with a questionnaire helps the board determine which candidate will receive the newspaper’s endorsement.

Patrick Both candidates – KennealKenneally ly, an assistant state’s attorney, and Regna, a former assistant state’s attorney now in private practice – seek to succeed Lou Bianchi, who filed to run for a fourth term but withdrew.

Kenneally, a married father of two now living in Crystal Lake, said he wants to prioritize combating the county’s growing heroin and opioid epidemic through community partnerships. He also wants to crack down on repeat DUI offenders by working with judges to make it easier to obtain warrants to draw blood samples Dan Regna from suspects who refuse to take a breathalyzer test.

“I want to ensure that, unlike Cook County, no one wants to leave this county out of fear,” Kenneally said.

Regna, a married father of three living in Woodstock, said the office is in need of reform, and alleged it has become a political machine, given Bianchi’s involvement in GOP politics and two other employees besides Kenneally

‘‘ ‘‘

I want to ensure that, unlike Cook County, no one wants to leave this county out of fear.”

Taxpayers out there are hurting.

We have to streamline.

We have to become more efficient.”

ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The top cop for the village that saw one of its officers indicted this week for crashing his squad car while drunk was reported last year to be under the influence while on the job, documents show.

Six days before Ron Lyons retired as the fulltime police chief for the Crystal Lake Park District, he was required to undergo testing to see whether he was under the influence of alcohol at Ron Lyons work, according to documents obtained by the Northwest Herald under the Freedom of Information Act. The village president of Prairie Grove, where Lyons serves as the village’s director of public safety and has worked parttime for the past nine years, said he was unaware of the situation.

President Stan Duda said, adding that the village’s experience with Lyons has been “very positive with absolutely no incidents at all, and we have no reason not to fully support him.”

Duda said Lyons “cleaned up a lot of problems from the past,” pointing to his work creating hiring standards, building neighborhood watch programs, obtaining grants for the village and working closely with the schools.

Lyons did not return a call for comment Friday.

The documents obtained by the Northwest Herald include four reports made by fellow employees that list their suspicion that Lyons was under the influence of alcohol on the same day in February 2015 as well as a note from the same day describing Lyons’ trip to the hospital for testing. The documents do not include the results of the tests, which are exempt as medical records.

“Ron [Lyons] was slowed down in his movements, however not obviously impaired,” the note said. “He talked slower than normal and appeared more lethargic. Once the testing was done, I gathered

the paperwork. I informed Ron that he is temporarily relieved of his duties until further contacted by [redacted].”

Lyons was not disciplined after the incident, park district Executive Director Jason Herbster said, adding that this is the only such incident regarding Lyons during his tenure with the park district.

Generally speaking, any employees that are suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol are reported to the human resources department and are required to undergo a blood or urine test depending on the situation, Herbster said.

A positive result can sometimes lead to termination, suspension or a person being offered help, Herbster said, adding that “every situation is different.”

When asked if the incident led or in any way contributed to Lyons’ retirement, Herbster said he couldn’t comment as it was a personnel issue.

Herbster also pointed to that as the reason he responded in the negative when a Northwest Herald reporter asked back in June whether there were any issues leading up to Lyons’ retirement.

Neighborhood parking at issue Lack of spaces at high school leaves students finding alternatives

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – A few Huntley entities are working together to come to a solution after concerns surfaced over Huntley High School students parking in and walking through area neighborhoods.

Complaints started coming in August about high school students parking in neighborhoods of the Sun City Community Association, which sits behind the school, Huntley Deputy Police Chief Mike Klunk said.

Because the roads are public and without any current restrictions, parking in the neighborhoods is perfectly legal, Klunk said, but the larger problem is that residents say students also have been cutting through properties.

“There are a handful of properties accessible through the backs of property, and it’s a handful of residents directly impacted by people trespassing,” he said.

Residents also have complained that students have parked in front of fire hydrants and driveways, Klunk said.

The number of vehicles consistently parking in the area has diminished to 12 to 15 since the start of the year, but the problem received enough attention to prompt the Huntley Police Department to host a recent town hallstyle meeting for Sun City residents

and Huntley High School representatives.

About 70 people showed up Tuesday, Klunk said, adding some residents suggested some restrictions or fencing to prevent students from parking there.

It’s unclear whether the students parking in neighborhoods are doing so because they can’t park in the school’s lot.

At the start of the year, the waiting list for a parking pass was at 130 students, which District 158 Communications Director Dan Armstrong has said was more than last year. At that time, Armstrong also said the number of eligible drivers – mainly juniors and seniors – was up from last year.

More recently, the waiting list includes 80 students, district officials said.

With the construction of the school’s new field house, a number of parking spots were lost, but the district reconfigured the lot and ended up with more spots than before, Huntley High School Principal Scott Rowe noted, adding that it went from 575 spots to 692.

“There’s never going to be enough parking for every student, no matter what high school you’re looking at,” Rowe said, adding Huntley High School still has more parking than other area schools of comparable size.

However, he acknowledged one specific difference between Huntley High School and most other area schools

that reasonably could be a factor.

Huntley Community High School District 158’s blended learning program, for which interest has skyrocketed since its inception, allows some students to have nontraditional schedules that might not align with bus times.

“I think it’s fair to say the students taking blended courses – having more freedom – could probably increase their desire to drive,” Rowe said.

Huntley High School also allows older students to leave campus for lunch.

Rowe said school officials are “in the investigative process” in terms of exploring whether additional parking would be logistically or financially possible.

Regardless, he also said the school has taken measures to try to prevent students from trespassing on property, from sending emails to students who can drive and talking directly to students school officials see walking from that area.

Klunk said, at this point, the parties involved in the issue have been contacted and communication will continue.

“The big thing is, all information has been passed along to all entities: the village, the school district, Sun City [Community] Association, in addition to the residents who live in the neighborhoods,” Klunk said.

McHENRY – A man was in stable condition Saturday night after being airlifted to Condell Medical Center in Libertyville after a tree he was cutting down fell on him, public safety officials said.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Lt. Mike Kempster said fire officials were dispatched at 5:16 p.m. to 4903 W. Flanders Road in unincorporated McHenry to treat the man. First responders arrived at the scene within six minutes and found a man in his 30s lying on the ground next to a tree, Kempster said.

An official determined he would need to be transferred to a Level I trauma center

BLOOD DRIVES

Jose Cazares

Bull Valley Ford general manager city will only make the payment after the dealership proves they’ve generated more than that amount in sales tax.

“We’re confident that they’re going to far exceed that and that they’re going to grow,” Anderson said.

Currently, the dealer has 32 employees, Anderson said, and the expansion is expected to create four new jobs in the showroom, and 15 new jobs in the service center.

More jobs will be created based on the services that are needed for the increase in local employees, Anderson said, which is expected to bring in an additional $172,000 in local tax revenues per year from employee spending.

The business plans on investing more than $2.2 million to meet the standards to become a Ford Trustmark business, meaning they become a preferred dealership and will stay around for a while, Anderson said.

“It’s a very big expansion, and a very expensive one,” Cazares said. “So the support of the city is much needed to be able to complete it and meet Ford standards.”

Cazares said Bull Valley Ford has been at that location since 2007. Construction will start before June, he said, and the store will remain open while the work is completed.

WOODSTOCK – A tax incentive agreement between the city of Woodstock and Bull Valley Ford is allowing the car dealership to expand its facility by about 10,000 square feet and to hire 19 employees.

“It’s going to be a completely different showroom and service drive-in area,” Bull Valley Ford General Manager Jose Cazares said.

The building at 1460 S. Eastwood Drive in Woodstock will expand to more than 24,000 square feet when the renovation is complete, said a memo from Woodstock Economic Development Director Garrett Anderson.

Cazares said this will allow them to expand the customer waiting area and display two more cars in the showroom.

The business also will increase its onelane service area to four lanes, he said, which will help get more vehicles in faster.

Cazares said about 50 to 100 vehicles currently go through the service center per week.

“What we’re hoping for is to be able to provide a better customer experience for our clients,” Cazares said. “To be able to service them better, faster and be more convenient for them.”

The Woodstock City Council unanimously approved an incentive agreement with Bull Valley Ford at its meeting Tuesday. The agreement is an eight-year rebate of a portion of the sales tax collected by the state and given back to the city for vehicle sales at Bull Valley Ford, Anderson said in the memo.

The city will make three payments a year for eight years, or about $58,000 annually, Anderson said. He said the

COVER STORY | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

running for elected office.

“Right now, we have runaway politicking out of that office unlike anything we’ve ever seen,” Regna said.

Regna served as an assistant state’s attorney under former state’s attorney Gary Pack from 1995 until Bianchi’s election in 2004, and he unsuccessfully ran against Bianchi in 2008. He is a West Point graduate and served 18 years in the U.S. Army, both active and reserve.

Kenneally and Regna spent much of their time Tuesday on the attack, often going after their opponent’s record as a prosecutor.

Regna alleged many of Kenneally’s convictions get overturned. He specified the overturning of Mario Casciaro’s conviction in the Brian Carrick disappearance, calling it “the most stunning failure ever.”

Kenneally countered by alleging Regna played a background role in many of the cases he said he prosecuted, and called his criticisms of the Casciaro case and others “the ultimate example of backseat driving.” The office has appealed the Casciaro decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Regna alleged Kenneally only re-

cently rejoined the state’s attorney’s office and moved to Crystal Lake to run for the seat – an allegation Kenneally dismissed as baseless. Kenneally started with the office in 2007, and returned to it last year after briefly leaving to pursue environmental law.

“I came back because I love the job.

I came back because I wanted to be a prosecutor,” Kenneally said.

Kenneally, likewise, dismissed Regna’s allegations that the office is overstaffed and that relations between the state’s attorney’s office and local law enforcement are terrible, but Regna stood by his remarks.

“Taxpayers out there are hurting.

We have to streamline. We have to become more efficient,” Regna said.

The candidates also split on other court-related issues.

Both candidates differed on allowing cameras in county courtrooms and term limits for the office.

Regna said he supports allowing courtroom cameras, but said he does not support term limits. Kenneally said he opposes courtroom cameras and “making a spectacle of a human tragedy,” but said he would limit himself to two terms.

No Democratic candidate has filed for the office, meaning the winner of the March 15 primary most likely will run unopposed in November.

Useful Tips to Avoid Calling for Furnace Repair This Winter Winter has reared its head & now you’re trusting your furnace more than ever. One of the best ways to keep your furnace running effortlessly is to stay up on annual maintenance and tune-ups. Below are a few easy things you can check on yourself that could keep you from being left in the cold and in need of an emergency furnace repair.

Change Your Air Filter – A nasty filter is the most common reason a heating system breaks down.

Dirt and debris keep air from passing around your system and that could possibly cause your furnace to overheat. Swapping your furnace filter is the easiest way to help try to extend the lifetime of your heating system and avoid furnace repair.

Keep Air Vents Open - There’s wrong information out there about closing off vents in vacant rooms. In theory closing off vents actually puts an unneeded strain on your system that could lead to issues in the future.

www.camstemp.com Serving the Greater Crystal Lake & McHenry County Area Since 1983

Check Your Thermostat - Sometimes when your furnace isn’t operating properly, the problem may be an easy fix due to depleted batteries in your thermostat. Typically, your thermostat will offer a warning approximately a month before the battery runs out, but if you missed it, that may be the cause of your heating problems.

Along with these easy tips, the best advice is to keep up with annual, scheduled furnace maintenance. If you haven’t booked your annual furnace service yet, you can easily set up an appointment online: www. camstemp.com or if give us a call at 815-455-3351.

How long should my furnace or air conditioner last?

Older furnace units, made prior to 1990 typically last for 10 - 15 years. Newer furnaces with a stainless steel heat exchanger may last longer. Older air conditioners last 10 - 12 years, while newer units can last 15 - 20 years. All lasting longer with proper maintenance.

Officer sues estate of teen he shot, claims trauma The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A white Chicago police officer who fatally shot a black 19-yearold college student and accidentally killed a neighbor has filed a lawsuit against the teenager’s estate, arguing the shooting left him traumatized.

The highly unusual suit was filed Friday in the middle of the city’s effort to grapple with serious questions about the future of its police force. Those questions include the adequacy of its system for investigating police shootings and how to win back public trust after several cases of alleged misconduct. The U.S. Justice Department is conducting a wide-ranging civil rights investigation, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised a major overhaul of the Chicago Police Department and steps to heal its fraught relationship with black residents.

The timing and unusual nature of the suit by officer Robert Rialmo, who is seeking $10 million in damages, could

Police think 6 deaths in Chicago result of ‘targeted incident’

CHICAGO – Authorities on Saturday released the names of six family members found dead this week in their southwest side home – the victims of what Chicago police believe was a “targeted incident.”

Investigators are still trying to determine a possible motive.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said late Friday that it’s possible someone in the family “was involved in something that could have targeted them,” or that the killings occurred during a robbery or a domestic incident.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office released the names of the victims – two boys, two women and two men.

The boys were identified Saturday as Leonardo Cruz, 13, and Alexis Cruz, 10, and the women as Rosaura Martinez, 58, and Maria Herminia Martinez, 32.

“That’s a new low even for the Chicago Police Department.

First you shoot them, then you sue them.”

Basileios Foutris

Attorney for Antonio LeGrier, father of Quintonio LeGrier complicate the department’s efforts to demonstrate more sensitivity toward the community in how police shootings are handled. His attorney, Joel Brodsky, said it was important in the charged atmosphere to send a message that police are “not targets for assaults” and “suffer damage like anybody else.”

The teen’s father, Antonio LeGrier, filed a wrongful death lawsuit days after the Dec. 26 shooting, saying his son, Quintonio, was not armed with a weap-

The men were identified as Noe Martinez Sr., 62, and Noe Martinez Jr., 32.

Their deaths were ruled homicides Friday by the medical examiner’s office. Five were stabbed to death and the sixth died of multiple gunshot wounds, the office said.

3 held in alleged fake kidnapping scheme in Bridgeview

BRIDGEVIEW – Bridgeview police said three people face felony disorderly conduct charges for allegedly faking a kidnapping in hopes of getting money to pay gambling debts.

WLS-TV reported 25-year-old Joseph Vicario and his 21-yearold girlfriend, Amanda Woods, allegedly called Vicario’s mother, Rose, on Friday and said they were being held by assailants.

Bridgeview police said Woods later called Rose Vicario to say they were being held by individuals who demanded $3,000 and then $4,000. She told officers it sounded like her son was being beaten during the calls.

Woods, Joseph Vicario and 26-year-old Shane Ablan were

on and was not a threat. His attorney, Basileios Foutris, was incredulous at what he called the officer’s “temerity” in suing the grieving family of the person he shot.

“That’s a new low even for the Chicago Police Department,” he said. “First you shoot them, then you sue them.”

The lawsuit provides the officer’s first public account of how he said the shooting happened, offering details that differ with the family’s version. It said Rialmo, who was responding to a domestic disturbance call with another officer, opened fire after Quintonio LeGrier swung a bat at the officer’s head at close range. A downstairs neighbor, 55-yearold Bettie Jones, was standing nearby and was shot and killed by accident. She was not part of the domestic dispute.

“The fact that LeGrier’s actions had forced officer Rialmo to end LeGrier’s life and to accidentally take the innocent life of Bettie Jones has caused, and will continue to cause, officer Rialmo to suf-

Chicago FBI: ‘Pinball Bandit’ suspected in 5 bank robberies

CHICAGO – The FBI is asking for help identifying a suspect they’ve dubbed the “Pinball Bandit” because of the frequency and locations of the banks they said he’s robbed.

Michael J. Anderson is special agent-in-charge of the Chicago FBI. In a Friday news release, he said authorities believe the suspect carried out five robberies at four Chicago banks between Jan. 13 and 25.

Two of the robberies occurred on the same day, just more than one hour apart.

Anderson said the suspect approaches a bank employee and makes “a threatening demand” for money. He said there have been no physical injuries reported, but the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chicago FBI

fer extreme emotional trauma,” the filing said.

When arriving at the scene around 4:30 a.m. Dec. 26, Rialmo rang the doorbell of the two-story apartment building.

Jones answered and directed them to the upstairs apartment. As Rialmo stepped through the doorway, he heard someone “charging down the stairway,” the suit said.

It describes the teen coming down the stairs with a baseball bat in hand and says LeGrier “cocked” the bat “and took a full swing at Officer Rialmo’s head, missing it by inches” when the two were around 4 feet apart.

The officer then backed away with his weapon still holstered, according to the suit, while repeatedly shouting at LeGrier to drop the bat. But the suit said LeGrier kept advancing and swung the bat again. Only when LeGrier cocked the bat again from 3 or 4 feet away did the officer pull out his 9 mm handgun and open fire, the filing said.

Lake County offers mental health training to officers

WAUKEGAN – Law enforcement officials in Lake County are undergoing training that Illinois could use as a statewide model to help officers identify suspects with potential mental health issues.

The training being offered at College of Lake County introduces officers to the signs and triggers of mental illnesses in an effort to diffuse situations that could turn violent.

Lake County Health Department Executive Director Tony Beltran told the News-Sun that the training teaches officers how to recognize people with mental illness, and when to consider taking them to a hospital or treatment center instead of jail.

He said law enforcement officials have welcomed the training because it can keep both officers and suspects safe.

Lake County Undersheriff Ray Rose said the officers who have taken the classes have found them helpful.

U of I reports record number of freshman applications

URBANA – University of Illinois officials said a record number of prospective freshmen have applied for enrollment next fall across the school’s three campuses.

The university has received just more than 56,000 applications systemwide for fall 2016 freshman seats. That record number is up 13 percent from the more than 49,500 applications received a year ago.

Freshman applications increased on the school’s flagship Urbana-Champaign campus and on its Chicago campus. Application deadlines have closed on those two campuses.

Although applications are down slightly on the Springfield campus, that campus’ application deadline is Aug. 22.

School President Tim Killeen said the university’s academic excellence and efforts to hold down tuition were factors in the increase in freshman applications. School trustees approved a tuition freeze for in-state freshmen last month for the second straight year.

States are moving to keep guns out of abusers’ hands

By RYAN J. FOLEY

The Associated Press IOWA CITY, Iowa – More than a dozen states have strengthened laws over the past two years to keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers, a rare area of consensus in the nation’s highly polarized debate over guns.

Lawmakers and governors of both parties have supported bills stripping gun rights from those who have been convicted of domestic violence-related crimes or are subject to protective orders. The measures have been backed by victims’ advocates, law enforcement groups and gun control supporters who see easy access to firearms as a major contributor to domestic violence killings.

Similar proposals are expected to be debated in several states this year.

“Domestic violence is definitely an area where there is the most agreement between the gun lobby and gun-violence prevention advocates,” said Allison Anderman, staff attorney with the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence in San Francisco.

The National Rifle Association has taken a cautious approach toward such bills, opposing the farthest-reaching measures but staying neutral or negotiating compromises on others.

For example, the NRA has fought provisions that would require people to surrender their guns before they have a chance to contest allegations made in a request for an emergency protective order.

“There is no evidence that simply taking away people’s guns without a fair hearing makes the victims any safer,” NRA spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen said.

The push in the states is driven by stories of women and children killed or wounded by known abusers, and by statistics showing that hostile relationships often turn deadly when guns are present.

An average of 760 Americans were killed with guns annually by spouses, ex-spouses or dating partners between 2006 and 2014, according to an Associated Press analysis of FBI and Florida data. Florida’s statistics are not included in the FBI’s report, which covers all other states and District of Columbia, but were analyzed separately by AP. The total is an undercount because not all law enforcement agencies report such information, and it doesn’t include children and other bystanders who were killed. More than 80 percent of those killed were women.

“The system failed my son, and I am going to do whatever it takes to make sure it never happens to another child or another woman,” said Hollie Ayers, 44, a Pennsylvania woman whose 2½-year-old son, Michael, was shot and killed in front of her by her abusive ex-hus-

Ayers was shot in the face and the leg, and her ex-husband killed himself after the rampage. band in 2013. “Michael’s life to me was priceless. If you can at least reduce the amount of homicides, this is a no-brainer to me.”

Ayers, who was shot in the face and the leg, said she constantly thinks about her son, who loved tractors and puzzles. Her ex-husband killed himself after the rampage.

Ayers had warned that he had guns and had said that he, his ex-wife and the child “would be better off dead” before she obtained a permanent protection-from-abuse order, court records show. But the judge did not order her ex-husband to surrender his weapons, even after he violated the protective order.

Hollie Ayers is pushing for a Pennsylvania law that would require people to turn over their guns when judges issue protection orders against them.

Kim Stolfer, president of the Pennsylvania group Firearms Owners Against Crime, said his organization isn’t on board with the idea yet. He said such legislation could be exploited by vindictive ex-spouses who level false allegations of abuse.

“We need some balance, and it’s rapidly going the wrong way,” he said.

OUR VIEW

Value help over handcuffs When officers arrive at a scene responding to a call, there is a gulf to be bridged as they assess the situation and determine the appropriate way to respond.

When the person they have been called to help has a mental illness, that gulf can seem even wider, a bridge impossible.

The Treatment Advocacy Center For the record estimates 8 million Americans have seWhen police officers have vere mental illness, no background in dealing and about half go unwith those with mental health treated. Even among issues, misunderstandings can those who receive be common. treatment, they often must travel long distances or face other hurdles to receive help.

Disruptions in care are common, as funding from the state and other avenues continues to falter and service providers consolidate services or shutter.

When those with mental illness or their caregivers need help, police usually are the first to arrive at the scene. According to TAC, people with severe mental illness lead to 1 in 10 calls to police.

When police officers have no background in dealing with those with mental health issues, misunderstandings can be common, and altercations can escalate until an arrest is made.

These incarcerations are regrettable and, often, preventable. Officers must be trained in methods to reach those with mental health problems until a social worker or psychologist is available to step in. Police departments across McHenry County are taking steps to make sure their officers are properly equipped.

Crisis Intervention Team training is a 40-hour course offered to police departments in McHenry County. It teaches officers how to interact with someone who might be depressed or suicidal, for example. In Crystal Lake, 14 officers have completed it. In the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, about 25 officers are CIT trained, about one-third of the department. In the Cary Police Department, all but two of the officers have completed Mental Health First Aid training, offered through the McHenry County Health Board and the National Alliance on Mental Illness – McHenry County.

We understand these courses take a lot resources – funding as well as time officers spend in a classroom instead of on duty – and we applaud local departments for making them a priority.

These trainings increase safety for the people in crisis, officers and bystanders involved, and are crucial to improving the treatment of those with mental illness.

Four reasons to cheer jobs report MOHAMED EL-ERIAN Bloomberg View

Although the 151,000 jobs added in January undershot consensus expectations by more than 30,000 and the impressive December increase was revised downward, the monthly snapshot of the U.S. labor market released Friday offered good news for the economy.

It also should cheer financial markets, if they can look beyond their obsession with central bank liquidity support. Here is why: 1. Previous years of strong job creation seem to be having an impact on hourly earnings.

The 0.5 percent wage growth is encouraging.

2. The impact of higher wages on take-home cash is enhanced by a concurrent increase in hours worked.

3. The participation rate increased to 62.7 percent, sug-

gesting workers who had been discouraged are returning to the labor force.

4. The unemployment rate fell to 4.9 percent, the lowest in nine years.

All this means more Americans have jobs and are getting paid more. It also suggests tighter labor market conditions, drawing workers back in and increasing potential output. This is a positive sign for the prospects for consumption – the biggest component of U.S. gross domestic product and the main driver of the economy. This signal is particularly notable amid weaker global growth and recurring bouts of financial market volatility.

Financial markets will welcome signs of improving fundamentals, but they also will be concerned about what the data indicate regarding the willingness of central banks to continue

to support asset prices through exceptional measures, which markets have been conditioned to embrace wholeheartedly as a driver of financial returns.

Specifically, the January report will serve as a reminder it is too early to fully eliminate the possibility the Federal Reserve, the most powerful central bank, will raise rates in March. As a result, the data is likely to lead to an uptick in market yields, and cause some nervousness in U.S. equity markets. But, in a perfect world, such concerns over the Fed would become a sideshow over time, provided that fundamentals continue to improve.

Rauner uses showdowns

To the Editor: Bruce Rauner is no friend. Rauner is no governor. Rauner, during the campaign, announced he was a “businessman” – a private equity investor.

Rauner campaigned on a few calorie-free phrases, such as “shaking up Springfield,” “taking on government union bosses,” “delivering results” and “taking on Mike Madigan.”

Rauner said, “We’re not going to back down on it.” Really? Using showdowns and shutdowns rather than compromises to achieve political goals.

Rauner is a tyrant.

Kenneally exceptional choice

To the Editor: Voters in McHenry County have an exceptional candidate running for state’s

they are denounced as “bigots” and “Islamophobes,” but in Norway and Sweden, two of the most liberal nations in Europe that have welcomed Muslim immigrants, that charge will be difficult to make stick.

What we are witnessing is the complete breakdown and failure of multiculturalism. Dictionary.com defines multiculturalism as “the preservation of different cultures or cultural identities within a unified society, as a state or nation.”

That definition contains a glaring contradiction. A society cannot be unified if it preserves different cultures and cultural identities within itself.

That’s why our national motto is translated “out of many, one.” To the multiculturalist it appears to be, “Out of one, many.”

History demonstrates that no nation can long survive if it forgets why it exists. Our failure to inculcate American traditions, beliefs and history, even in the native born, not to mention immigrants, is rapidly destroying the country bequeathed to us by our forebears.

Leftists in Europe and the U.S. have promoted multiculturalism, be-

lieving once Muslims experience our freedoms and dedication to equality, they will want to be like us. It doesn’t appear to be working, and anyone familiar with the Quran and its “kingdom of this world” instructions knows it likely won’t.

European leaders, from Germany’s Angela Merkel, to Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, deliberately have closed their eyes to what they see unfolding in their countries, and in others.

President Obama is doing the same thing with his trip to the Baltimore mosque. Our enemies see our weakness and failure to understand their objectives, which include destroying the West and establishing a worldwide caliphate. This is not top secret information. Not all Muslims are terrorists, to be sure, but large numbers of radical Islamists profess allegiance to the faith, and they are more than willing to wreak havoc in pursuit of their goals.

An ancient proverb reminds us: “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

Reports that women in Cologne, Germany, have been groped and robbed by men described by authorities as having “a North African or Arabic” appearance should be warning enough, but there are other and more ominous warnings that suggest worse lies ahead, unless the problem receives immediate attention and action. It’s also not only Cologne.

The Gatestone Institute, a nonpartisan, nonprofit international policy council and think tank, is in possession of what it describes as a “leaked German intelligence document,” which says, “We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law.”

New leader at UniCarriers Americas

President wants to make Marengo company an industry leader

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

MARENGO – For the past six years, a sales and marketing executive with UniCarriers Americas Corp. worked internally to grow the company’s global market reach and diversified business beyond the forklifts made at its factory in Marengo.

After recently being appointed president of UniCarriers Americas, James Radous now wants to use his background that helped earn him promotions at UniCarriers Americas and turn the growing Marengo-based manufacturer into an industry leader.

“My job is to really get out there and market not only Marengo, but our facilities and really become the voice of the industry. That’s what we are trying to do,” Radous said. “I’m excited.”

UniCarriers Americas primarily makes and supplies forklifts and other material handling equipment to numerous commercial freight companies, such as FedEx and UPS, across North and South America.

The company employs more than 400 area residents at its Marengo headquarters, having grown its head count by more than 30 percent since 2012. Radous was named president in late January, succeeding McHenry native Anthony Salgado who left for another job after 15 years with UniCarriers Americas.

When Radous started in 2009 at what was then called Nissan Forklift, the new vice president of sales and marketing operations was faced with more troubling times. With the economy receding, Radous oversaw sales at a time when the manufacturer wasn’t profit-

As the company recovered and business grew, Radous eventually was promoted to executive vice president of sales in 2013 – a newly created position at the time. Nissan Forklift also in 2013 merged with forklift manufacturer TCM to form UniCarriers Corp., the Tokyo-based parent company to UniCarriers Americas. UniCarriers Corp. now employs more than 5,530 people across the world and reported about $1.57 bil-

lion in sales last year.

In the executive sales role, Radous spearheaded numerous initiatives that helped generate additional revenue for UniCarriers Americas, Akira Shiki, president and chief operating officer at UniCarriers Corp., said in a statement.

Radous expanded the company’s footprint in South America, leading an effort to create a formal UniCarriers Americas entity in Brazil to bolster sales in South America. He oversaw

other acquisitions and by 2014, Radous led the company’s new factory-owned dealership enterprise. Under his guidance, UniCarriers Americas manages two-factory owned dealerships – New England Industrial Truck and Capital Equipment and Handling – a venture that makes the company both a dealer and manufacturer of forklifts.

“Over the past six years, Jim has been critical to the company’s success and has become a trusted resource to the UniCarriers Americas dealer network,” Shiki said. “We commit our full support to aggressively grow the business throughout the Americas and are confident in Jim’s ability to continue to lead UniCarriers Americas to success.”

Born and raised in Chicago, Radous earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Northern Illinois University before earning a master’s degree in business administration from Roosevelt University. And he wants to leverage both his educational and sales background to make UniCarriers Americas into a more visible company within the material handling industry.

The past two presidents, he said, came from a financial and manufacturing background. His skill set, he said, offers the company a new perspective, along with his role on the board for the Industrial Truck Association and as chairman of the association’s National Forklift Safety Day when industry leaders can access congressmen on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. “This is a perfect storm for me because I can take what I know from my business and communications background and make it into something they haven’t seen here before,” Radous said.

Avoid finances on 1st date Dear Dave,

I’ve been following your plan, and I’ve finally gotten out of debt. And I feel I have control of my finances. I’m also single, and I was wondering if you have any tips for how to gracefully mention financial topics and budgeting when you’re on a date.

– Paula

Dear Paula,

Well, I don’t recommend bringing it up on a first date. If I’m a guy on the initial date with a girl, and the first thing out of her mouth is about finances and handling money, that’s going to be pretty strange.

Now, if the first date turns into another and another and another, then you might start talking about the deeper things in life and where you both stand. As you start talking about more serious subjects, you’ll begin to learn if there’s enough of a basis for a real relationship.

But the first date is just sort of an introduction, right? You’re both seeing if there’s any initial, mutual compatibility. Asking someone how much they make,

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

or where they are on their debt snowball in this scenario is officially weird – even by my standards.

In other words, use manners and tact. They may be old fashioned words these days, but in most cases they work well.

– Dave

Dear Dave,

I’ve started my 4-year-old on an allowance structure and a chore chart. I also have a mini-envelope system with spending and saving set up, but I’m having trouble helping him distinguish between the two.

How can I solve this?

– Monica At that age, any type of saving is going to be more of a glorified, long-term spending plan. The point is to teach them to delay gratification when

Dr. M. Shakeel Licensed General Dentist

Dear Monica,

you’re first starting out. And when you’re only 4, two weeks is long term.

The contents of the spending envelope should be kind of spontaneous. Let him take it on trips to the store, and if he wants a pack of gum or whatever, he can get it.

The saving envelope, though, stays at home.

Then, as he grows and his mind and reasoning develops a little more, you really can start teaching him about long-term goals and how to get there – including giving.

Don’t try to force a 4-year-old to think five or 10 years into the future. We’re just trying to teach lessons here, and it doesn’t have to be done perfectly. Just be intentional, and try to find teachable moments as you go along.

– Dave

Scandal-hit VW postpones earnings release, meeting DAVID McHUGH

The Associated Press FRANKFURT, Germany – Volkswagen said it is postponing release of its full-year earnings as well as its annual shareholder meeting because of open questions about its diesel emissions scandal.

The German carmaker said Friday it would give new dates for the earnings release, formerly slated for March 10, and for its shareholder gathering originally set for April 21.

It said questions about how the matter will be resolved left open what it described in a statement as “valuation calculations.”

Volkswagen said it is sticking to its plan to publish the findings of its investigation into the background and responsibilities of the scandal in the second half of April.

It said that when released, the company’s operating earnings before one-time items would be at the level of the year before, within the expected range for 2015. The Wolfsburg, Germany-based automaker has admitted equipping cars with software that let them cheat on diesel emissions tests in the U.S. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is suing the company in federal court over what it says were 600,000 such vehicles.

Volkswagen said as many as 11 million cars worldwide have the software that enables them to cheat on tests. The company said it is working to fix the cars and to change its culture so that something similar does not happen again. U.S. law firm Jones Day is conducting an investigation into who made the decisions to cheat.

Unemployment changes a boon to employers The new year brought a business-friendly change to the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act. Until recently, employers had to shoulder a portion of unemployment benefits unless it could be shown an employee was terminated for misconduct.

The law didn’t detail what exactly constituted misconduct. The legalistic definition of “misconduct” was overly complicated and could be argued any way imaginable, depending on the facts.

Public Act 99-488, which became law on Jan. 3, flips the script on employee misconduct.

While the old definition remains in place, the statute now contains a laundry list of actions, which are deemed automatically to constitute misconduct.

To compare, the old definition of misconduct was, “the deliberate and willful violation of a reasonable rule or policy of the employing unit, governing the individual’s behavior in performance of his work, provided such violation has harmed the employing unit or other employees or

BUSINESS LAW Gregory Barry has been repeated by the individual despite a warning or other explicit instruction from the employing unit.”

This left many ways for an employee to drag out an unemployment case.

Was the misconduct deliberate and willful? Was there an actual policy in place? How did the violation harm the employer? Where was the record of a warning and of a repeated violation?

While misconduct still can be shown as before, the following acts are deemed to be misconduct under the new law, even if they do not meet the older, complicated definition: • Intentional falsification of a job application.

• Failure to maintain a license or certification necessary for the job when the employee has the ability to maintain licensing.

• Repeated violations of a reason-

able, posted attendance policy. The employer has to provide a written warning, and an employee can demonstrate how absences were outside of his control.

• Damaging the employer’s property or endangering others’ safety through gross negligence. While “gross negligence” has its own complicated definition, it boils down to whether a reasonable employee should have known the misconduct posed a substantial risk.

• Refusal to follow the employer’s reasonable and lawful instruction.

• Consuming alcohol or other impairing substances at work, or reporting to work in an impaired state. Prescription drugs are allowed, so long as they do not affect “the safe performance of the employee’s work duties.”

Employers now can take “safe harbor,” knowing if they terminate an employee for one of these reasons, they will not have to pay unemployment benefits because of an employee misconduct finding.

To take full advantage of the new

law, employers should: • Clarify the certifications necessary for each job and the employee’s responsibilities to maintain certifications.

• Have a visible, posted attendance policy that complies with federal and state labor laws. Employers should issue written warnings when applicable • Implement a company-wide substance abuse policy.

• Ensure these policies are carried out in a nondiscriminatory manner.

The change to the Unemployment Insurance Act is a boon to employers, but only to those who try to take advantage of it.

Adopting policies, issuing warnings when appropriate and terminating – if necessary – based on the new law can result in fewer unemployment payments, less uncertainty and lower litigation costs should there be a contested unemployment case.

Tattoos, martial arts and poker? Casinos wooing millennials

By PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press

BOSTON – Casinos worried that millennials aren’t getting into traditional gambling like their parents and grandparents are bringing in tattoo studios, mixed martial arts competitions and other offbeat attractions to attract a younger clientele.

In New England, where a regional casino war is afoot, Connecticut’s Foxwoods is remaking one of its gambling floors – now christened “The Fox” – as a hip, fun scene in the sprawling 30-yearold casino complex.

The casino floor bar was redone in January to include a stage where a mostly female ensemble covers pop songs.

Just off the gambling floor, a swank new tattoo studio-slash-fashion retailer opened in the fall, not far from where Shrine, the casino’s popular nightclub, increasingly is booking top electronic dance acts like DeadMau5 and Tiesto.

“It’s kind of like the party place,” said CEO Felix Rappaport. “It’s really energized the casino floor.”

In Rhode Island, the more modest-sized Twin River Casino removed 274 slot machines to make way for more poker and other table games favored by younger gamblers this past December.

It’s also been hosting mixed martial arts competitions at its event center, a nod to its popularity among younger fight fans.

A card dealer deals a game of poker to patrons at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island. Casinos far from Las Vegas are experimenting with different ways to draw millennials.

Casinos are making the right move to draw in millennials if they’re putting fewer slot machines on their floors in favor of table games, said Sunny Chopra, a 25-year-old from Falmouth, Massachusetts, as he considered betting at an electronic roulette wheel at Plainridge Park, a slots parlor and harness racing track in Plainville, Massachusetts.

“I’ve never played slot machines,” Chopra said. “I’m not that old.”

Casinos slow to pivot to millenni-

als’ preferences do so at their own risk, warned Steven Norton, a casino consultant based in Illinois.

Older members of the demographic are in their 30s, meaning they’re entering their prime earning and spending years, he says. That’s critical for an industry whose customers have historically been in their 40s and older.

“You want to develop good customers now so that we don’t become the horse racing industry of the future, where all

of our people have died off and we don’t have any new blood coming in,” Norton said.

It’s too soon to determine whether any of these efforts will translate to sustained success with millennials, casino operators said. But market research suggests new thinking is necessary, said Michael Mathis, president of MGM Springfield, a $950 million resort casino expected to open in western Massachusetts in late 2018. He pointed to a 2015 article by the Washington, D.C.-based Marketing Research Association suggesting current versions of slot machines are “widely viewed” by millennials as “antisocial, non-intuitive and generally boring.”

To address the slot machine apathy, casinos in past years updated machines with more pop culture references, such as Star Wars-themed gambling machines. They also introduced electronic version of popular table games.

The newest trend? Electronic table games that feature live dealers.

Casinos are betting the blend of live table game action, easy slot machine-style play and lower minimum bets will appeal to younger and novice gamblers, said Carrie Nork Minelli, spokeswoman at Parx Casino outside Philadelphia, which unveiled a Shaquille O’Neal-themed electronic blackjack game where players are arranged “stadium-style” around a live dealer in late 2015.

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. consumers in December increased their borrowing at the fastest pace in three months. The result suggests consumer spending should remain strong in the coming months.

Borrowing expanded $21.3 billion in December, the strongest showing since an increase of $28.6 billion in September, the Federal Reserve reported Friday. That pushed total borrowing to a fresh record of $3.55 trillion.

Borrowing in the category that covers credit cards rose $5.8 billion, slightly below the November gain. Borrowing in the category that covers auto and student loans jumped $15.4 billion

in December, notably higher than the November gain of $7.7 billion.

Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, is expected to accelerate this quarter after slowing in late 2015.

The overall economy grew at a lackluster annual rate of just 0.7 percent in the October-December period as consumer spending slowed to a growth rate of 2.2 percent. Economists are looking for further gains in employment to bolster spending in the current quarter.

In its monthly credit report, the Fed does not break down auto loans and student loans in the seasonally adjusted data. The report excludes borrowing that is backed by real estate such as mortgage loans and home equity loans.

J.C. Penney looking at possible HQ sale The Associated Press NEW YORK – J.C. Penney is considering selling and partially leasing back its headquarters to help lower debt and create long-term savings.

The department store operator said Friday it has a surplus of square footage available in the Plano, Texas, office

building, with favorable market conditions. J.C. Penney Co. has been in the three-story building since 1992.

The company had a strong holiday season, as a key sales metric rose 3.9 percent. It recently started selling refrigerators, washing machines and other appliances at some of its stores for the first time in more than 30 years.

Jobs report eases recession concerns Eric Larkee interviews Angelo Falcone (left) for a bartender job at a job fair held by The Genuine Hospitality Group on Jan. 27 in Miami.

The restaurant group is expanding in South Florida and is hiring for all positions at its restaurants.

The U.S. government issued the January jobs report Friday.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. manufacturing is shrinking, corporate profits are declining and goods are piling up on warehouse shelves. Those trends have elevated concern that a U.S. recession may loom in the next year or two.

Yet in the one area that matters most, the economy has continued to shine: Hiring.

Last month, employers added 151,000 jobs, a tepid pace by recent standards but still enough to help cut the unemployment rate to a nearly eightyear low of 4.9 percent. Over the three months that ended in January, hiring has averaged a robust 231,000 a month.

Such a trend typically reflects an economy in prime health, not one nearing a recession.

“It doesn’t feel like to us that the economy is in a bad place,” said Michael Hanson, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “It would take a very big shock to make a recession case much more likely.”

Most analysts say that while the economy may slow this year compared with 2015, an outright recession remains unlikely. Hanson puts the odds of a recession within the next 12 months at 20 percent. While still low, that estimate is up from 15 percent last year.

Here are three trends that point to a potential recession – and three that do not: Manufacturing slowdown: There’s n o doubt factory output is declining. A jump in the value of the dollar and sluggish economies in Europe, China and Japan have squeezed exports of U.S. goods.

The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index has been below 50 for four months, signaling contraction. Orders for factory goods plunged in 2015 – the first annual drop since 2009, when the economy was just emerging from recession.

And industrial production, as measured by the Federal Reserve, fell 1.8 percent in December from a year earlier. That was the steepest drop since 2009.

A weak manufacturing sector can be a harbinger of recession. That’s because Americans tend to reduce purchases of costly manufactured items, such as appliances or electronic products, before they start cutting back on more basic services.

Still, manufacturing now accounts for only about 10 percent of the U.S. economy, a small enough proportion that a factory slowdown probably won’t derail the rest of the economy.

Big stockpiles: A classic recession in-

AP file photo

dicator occurs when companies stock more items than people are willing or able to buy. Those companies then must slash new orders and prices to clear the backlog. This lowers production and profits.

In December, U.S. stockpiles reached 1.38 times sales – the highest level since July 2009, a month after the Great Recession officially ended. Some analysts estimate that the overstocking shaved one-half a percentage point off growth in the October-December quarter. That’s a key reason the economy grew at an anemic 0.7 percent annual rate in the final three months of 2015.

Yet consumers and businesses are still spending, and that should enable companies to work off their excess supplies, said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS, a forecasting firm.

Bond market: One of the most reliable recession indicators in the past has been a drop in longer-term interest rates, such as the yield on a 10-year Treasury, along with a rise in shorter-term rates, such as the yield on a three-month Treasury.

When longer-term rates fall below short-term ones, it produces what Wall Street analysts call an “inverted yield curve.” It’s a sign that investors expect the economy to slip into recession and lead to lower long-term rates.

According to an analysis by economists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, historically the yield curve has been one of the most accurate predictors of recessions. It has flattened in the past month: The 10-year Treasury yield has sunk from 2.3 percent to 1.8 percent.

But with the Fed pegging its shortterm rate at between 0.25 percent and 0.5 percent, most other short-term rates also remain low. So the yield curve has not inverted. Analysts at Bank of America Lynch say it’s showing just a 20 percent chance of recession over the next 12 months.

Other analysts are a bit more worried. Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, said the bond market has reacted more sharply to recent signs of an economic slowdown. That suggests that investors are more concerned about the U.S. economy, rather than simply reacting to weakness in places like China.

Most economists still see a recession this year as unlikely. Here are three reasons why: Jobs: Although economic growth weakened in the final three months of last year, businesses kept on adding jobs. That means more Americans are earning paychecks to spend.

And while average wage levels are growing only slightly, there are signs that the steady pace of job growth is compelling companies to pay more to attract employees. Average hourly wages rose 2.5 percent in January compared with a year ago, a brisk advance from the weak 2 percent trend that’s prevailed since the recession.

That means consumer demand – the U.S. economy’s lifeblood – will likely stay sound.

No triggers: As the saying goes, recessions typically don’t die from old age.

Instead, there’s usually a trigger that kills them. And most of the usual sus-

pects aren’t evident.

A stock-price bubble helped tip the economy into a recession in 2001. A housing bubble triggered the deep 2008 downturn. Yet by most measures, neither stocks nor housing are nearly as overpriced as they were then.

The Federal Reserve has frequently been blamed for causing recessions by raising rates too quickly. And while it boosted its benchmark short-term rate in December for the first time in nine years, most economists forecast that it will raise rates very slowly this year, if at all.

Finally, sharply higher oil and gas prices have preceded or accompanied every recession since the 1970s. But oil prices right now are plunging.

Consumers: Investors are worried about much slower growth in China, where many American multinationals have invested a lot of money. Yet few American consumers share that concern.

Instead, consumer confidence rose in December, according to the Conference Board, a business research group, despite some volatility in the stock market that month.

With low gas prices leaving more money in consumers’ wallets and borrowing costs low, most economists expect Americans to spend at a decent pace this year and bolster economic growth.

Sales of new homes surged in December to the healthiest level in 10 months.

Sales of existing homes rose 6.5 percent during 2015, though that pace is expected to slow a bit this year.

CL Central wins regional

Three Tigers win individual titles, 8 advance to sectional

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Crystal Lake Central’s mantra over the past couple of weeks, coach Justen Lehr said, was to “make your own luck.”

“Don’t count on other kids to screw up to win,” Lehr said.

The Tigers made themselves champions at the Class 2A Harvard Regional on Saturday by sending seven wrestlers to championship matches, and three of them taking home titles. Overall, the Tigers finished with 174 points and had eight wrestlers finish in the top three to qualify for next week’s Antioch Sectional.

Brothers Lenny and Michael Petersen won the Tigers’ first two individual titles. Lenny took a 7-2 decision over Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton at 138 pounds before Michael summoned

“You know, all year my brother and I were talking, we could be the first two brothers to win state this year in the history of Illinois,” Michael said.

“That’s our goal, that’s what we’re going to do as brothers, this is just one step closer to that.”

Austin Parks won the Tigers’ third title at 220. Heading into over-

time against Marengo’s Dylan Turner, Parks knew he had the extra gear he needed. Parks had moved up from wrestling at 195 most of the season while Turner had cut from being a heavyweight.

“I knew I could get him, it was just a matter of when,” Parks said.

Parks’ speed and conditioning made the difference late. In overtime, he took shots at Turner and got a takedown for a 7-5 decision.

Also qualifying for the sectional from Crystal Lake Central was Brock Montford (second at 113), Connor Burns (second at 120), Liam O’Donnell (second at 160), Keegan O’Donnell (second at 170) and Fabian Mora (third at 182).

Prairie Ridge finished second with 117 points with two individual champions: Jace Sparks (106) and Travis Piotrowski (126), who won by pin in only 48 seconds. The Wolves had six sectional qualifiers overall.

The host, Harvard, finished third (111) with six sectional qualifiers. Josh Fiegel, a state placer last year, won with a pin at 113, and Sergio Esquivel won by pin at 120.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino said schools and coaches should be fined for violations, and players who had nothing to do with infractions should not be penalized.

Pitino said athletic director Tom Jurich chose to keep Louisville out of this year’s Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments after an investigation revealed violations occurred.

Speaking after the No. 19 Cardinals’ 79-47 rout of Boston College on Saturday, Pitino said he thinks “it’s wrong to penalize these kids in this regard” by keeping them out of competition. Louisville’s streak of nine straight NCAA tournament appearances will end with the ban.

Pitino suggested a $10 million fine for schools and a big financial hit for coaches.

Chase Raap also won a regional title for the Chargers, recording a 6-4 decision over Crystal Lake South’s Vincent Fontanetta at 182. Josh Dyer defeated D-C’s Christian Rodriguez, 11-4, at 220.

Cary-Grove’s John Cullen won the 138 title with a 5-4 decision, while teammate Dennis Woodring advances after dropping the 285 championship by technical fall.

Along with Fontanetta, the Gators will send senior Frank Woods to Barrington after he pinned Lake Zurich’s Josh Goldberg in 1:05 to win the thirdplace match at 152. Woods wasn’t even on South’s varsity regional roster a year ago.

“I’ve waited all year to get there, and I’m glad it’s finally happening,” Woods said. “It’s very rewarding.”

McHENRY – Moments after capturing the 120-pound title at the Class 3A McHenry Regional on Saturday, McHenry’s Lucas Busse compared the feeling of his first trip to sectionals to that of a warm breakfast.

“It feels like a slice of butter melting on a big old pile of flapjacks,” Busse said while smiling after winning the regional wrestling title with a 9-0 major decision over Grant’s Adam Nixon. “It feels great.

It was a long time Lucas Busse coming.”

Busse’s 3-0 day was made even more impressive because he confirmed afterward that he’s been wrestling with a torn meniscus, which he suffered during a runner-up finish Jan. 16 at the Batavia Tournament, McHenry’s best finish that day.

Asked how he was feeling later on, Busse’s tune changed. But only a little.

“It makes it pretty hard, but, I don’t know, I just work through the pain and

ty sore. Yeah ... it’s pretty sore.”

Busse, a junior, was one of two McHenry wrestlers to win a regional title Saturday. Senior Derek Neises won the 132-pound weight class with a 6-4 decision over Lake Zurich’s Nick Swanson, while three Warriors took third and also advanced to next week’s Barrington Sectional: Matt Gutierrez (106 pounds) with a 1:17 pin, Trace Conlon (126) with a 6-1 decision, and Jake Leske (170) with a 4-2 decision.

“I think all the guys that qualified, they’re really serious about it,” said Warriors coach Will Gaddy, who is retiring after 21 seasons at McHenry.

“They’re going to give it their best shot next week.”

McHenry took fourth as a team with 99.5 points, well behind Grant (192.5), which won and crowned three individual champions. Cary-Grove (81.5) finished sixth, Dundee-Crown (66) placed seventh, and Crystal Lake South (36) was eighth.

A pair of Chargers also won regional titles, including senior Christian Brunner, who took third at state a year ago. It was Brunner’s third straight regional title.

40 BOYS BASKETBALL: MARENGO 56, NORTH BOONE 51

Indians’ rubber-match win ‘a little weird’

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com POPLAR GROVE – Marengo guard Michael Volkening described the Indians’ game against North Boone as “a little weird,” which might have been an understatement.

Marengo could not hit shots up close, and dead eye Zach Knobloch had trouble finding his range from behind the 3-point arc. Forward Tim Bassuener (6-foot-5) scored early but battled a sore back. Forward Ben Volkening (6-7) missed most of the first half with a nosebleed, so the height advantage against a team whose tallest players are 6-1 was nullified.

Those factors, combined with the Vikings’ hot early shooting, set the tone for Marengo to face a constant struggle the entire way.

“Typically, Zach [Knobloch] is our guy. Tonight I realized he was kind of off,” Michael Volkening said. “I decided to take it upon myself and see what I could do.”

Michael Volkening drove hard, scored in the lane and hit 11 of 12 free throws to finish with a career-high 24 points as the Indians held off North Boone, 56-51,

q THE NUMBER Marengo’s field-goal percentage for the first half, hitting 6 of 30 attempts.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

North Boone got off to a quick start with four 3-pointers in the first quarter, and Marengo led for only about 4 minutes in the game. in their Big Northern Conference East Division boys basketball game.

The Indians (17-6 overall, 8-2 BNC East) won for the ninth time in 10 games, although North Boone (11-11, 2-8) kept the pressure on until the end.

Sophomore Blaine Borhart came up with a key steal with 2:00 remaining as the Vikings led, 47-46, and picked up a

loose ball. Borhart hustled down court and stole a pass, which resulted in Michael Volkening’s layup on the other end that gave Marengo the lead for good.

“They had two or three guys going down, and Zach [Knobloch] and I were running back,” said Borhart, who scored seven points and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds. “I got my hand on it and we pushed the ball up the court. I just knew they were trying to score, so I had to get back.”

On the next possession, Ben Volkening tipped in his little brother’s miss for a 50-47 lead. The Indians were able to seal the game in the final 36 seconds.

“It was a struggle, but as a team we’re used to playing from behind and we keep it together and realize, in the end, we just want to put ourselves in a position to win,” Michael Volkening said.

Knobloch finished with three 3s and 15 points, and the Indians, who trailed 30-21 at halftime, hit 15 of 17 free throws for the game.

“We always talk about if you’re struggling, find a way to get to the freethrow line and see the ball go in the hole one or two times,” Indians coach Nate Wright said. “We started doing some of

those things in the second half. And on the defensive end we did a better job of being one-and-done. We kept fighting.”

Borhart got some extended playing time with the energy he brought after coming in, along with Bassuener’s ailing back.

“That’s big for a sophomore, [Borhart] took some open opportunities and got to the hole,” Wright said.

“Those little things he did when we’re struggling was huge for us.”

North Boone knocked off Marengo in the Indians’ E.C. Nichols Holiday Tournament, but the Indians won by a wide margin last month in the rematch. Vikings coach Richard Williams said the first meeting gave his team confidence.

“Rarely are we going to get outworked,” Williams said. “This group of guys played as a team and play harder than anybody we have played or will play in the future. Marengo’s an outstanding team, for us, undersized, to go out and rebound right with them and defend right to the end, I couldn’t be prouder of the effort and the way we played as a team.”

Brad Buchner led North Boone with 14 points and three 3s, and Kyle Hoffman added 12 points and 11 rebounds.

COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING: STATE FINALS

The Crystal Lake Central cheerleading team finished third to set a school record for the best finish at the state finals Saturday at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

The Tigers jumped from fifth place (86.93) Friday to third Saturday with a score of 89.9 in the medium division. This was Crystal Lake Central’s third-straight time performing on Day 2 at state, with the previous two attempts ending in fifth-place finishes.

“It’s amazing, our goal this season was to be on podium and the kids have been working insanely hard,” Crystal Lake Central coach Elizabeth Brauneis said.

“Coming into today, they had an incredible energy and I could just feel the difference from Day 1, based on performance and just how they walked out there. They knew exactly what they wanted and they were going to make it happen.”

Brauneis said the team saw its result Friday as something they definitely could improve on to reach their goal for the season. The result was Central’s best performance of the year.

The third-place finish completed another successful season for the Tigers. Crystal Lake Central won the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division, were sectional champions at DeKalb and topped it off with a podium finish at state.

“I’m so proud of this team and how far we’ve come this year,” Crystal Lake Central senior Courtney Lesser said. “I think us coming together as a family and being able to push hard every practice and making sure we leave everything out on the mat is what got us here.”

Oak Forest won the medium division with a 92.13 scored and Lemont was second (90.13) just ahead of the Tigers.

The Huntley cheerleading team, which was competing for the first time on Day 2 at state, held on to its sixth-place finish from Day 1 in the Large Team Division. The Red Raiders finished with a score of 89.73, just behind Lincoln-Way North (89.97) for a top-five finish. Joliet West won the large division with a score of 94.7.

For Huntley to be competing on Day 2 of state meant a lot.

“We were just so excited to be out there today and the experience was amazing,” Huntley coach Renee Fowler said. “To be in the that crowd will be a moment we’ll never forget.”

Huntley is hoping this trip to Day 2 of state is not a one-time thing, but something the team can continue to build off of in future seasons.

“When the scores were done being read the squad circled up, we talked about how much the leadership of the seniors was something we counted on,” Fowler said. “Then we looked at all of our other underclassmen and thought about what Huntley can do in the future, and we just can’t wait.”

WRESTLING: CLASS 3A DeKALB REGIONAL

Stenger champion at 120 as Huntley finishes in 4th

By EDDIE CARIFIO

ecarifio@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, February 7, 2016

DeKALB – With three champs and two runners-up, the Jacobs wrestling team had one if its best showings in a regional, taking second Saturday at the Class 3A DeKalb Regional.

“I thought we wrestled good overall,” Golden Eagles coach Gary Conrad said.

“We were aiming for nine, though. We got eight, so we got close. I’m happy. And I don’t think we’ve had three champs ever, so that’s pretty good to have five guys in the finals instead of two last year.”

The Golden Eagles took second with 164 points behind titles from Beau Harrier (113 pounds), Chris Dranka (138) and Dean Lane (160). Huntley was fourth with 149 points, with a title from Josh Stenger (120).

“I think we had a better tournament last weekend,” Huntley coach B.J. Bertelsman said of the Fox Valley Conference tournament, in which his Red Raiders were first and the Golden Eagles took third. “We really peaked in the last round. Not so much this week. A little tougher competition in some of the weight class. Everybody did win a match, so as a team we all came here.”

Jacobs finished with eight qualifiers for Saturday’s Class 3A Barrington Sectional – Harrier, David Dudych (third at 132), Dranka, Jacob Sabella (third at 145), Lane, Loren Strickland (second at 170), Michael Bujacz (third at 195) and Jack Golnick (second at 220). The Red Raiders will send seven – Zach Spencer (third at 113), Stenger, Juan Quiroz (second at 145), Brad Zbilski (third at 152), Christian Olivera (third at 182), Petros Mihalapoulos (second at 195) and Dominic Swanson (second at heavyweight).

Swanson (38-6) lost, 4-0, to Tony Cassioppi (37-2) of Hononegah in their third meeting of the season. He won in early January at the XLI Sycamore Invitational after losing to Cassioppi in the Dvorak Invitational before Christmas.

“Dominic has to do a better job in some of his weaker spots,” Bertelsman said. “Cassioppi is a good heavyweight and there’s no shame in that. We just have to tighten up and, hopefully, we’ll see him in the finals next weekend. If we do that, it means we’re going to state, so I’ll be happy with that.”

Stenger (39-4) picked up a 25-9 tech fall in the closing seconds against Rockford East’s Dontrell Johnson (19-15) for the title. Stenger said the win gives him a big boost on a couple of fronts heading into the sectional.

“It gives me a lot of confidence, but it

also gave me the chance to work a lot of takedowns I don’t normally hit,” Stenger said. “So it’s another confidence booster, not just win-wise, but I can count on those moves working going into sectional, state.”

Harrier (26-4) won his title for the Eagles with a 7-0 decision against DeKalb’s Christian Komitas (29-9).

“I think it went pretty good,” Harrier said. “I wrestled a few good kids actually, and made a pretty good day out of it.”

Dranka’s title for Jacobs pushed his record to 29-5 on the season, winning a 17-15 shootout against Hononegah’s Keegan Powers (18-3). He had a big early lead, but Powers fought back in the third to make it close.

“That was a big match because he had a tough opponent,” Conrad said. “We were happy with the win. It got close at the end, a little too close, but we’re glad he pulled it out.”

Lane (29-1) was trailing, 2-1, after one, but started the second period on top. He got a three-point nearfall out of the gate and ended up with a 14-4 win against Hononegah’s Dominic Ballano.

“He’s doing really good,” Conrad said.

“He got caught off guard and taken down, but he comes back and gets the big win.”

BLACKHAWKS 5, STARS 1

Blackhawks center Artem Anisimov scores a goal against Dallas Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen during the second period Saturday in Dallas.

“Yeah, that was a big win for us,” said Hjalmarsson, who had two assists. “It was a great trip, and we’re excited to be back home in Chicago for a while now. We feel like we’ve been on the road for a month, almost.”

After winning a tight 2-1 affair in Colorado, and a wild and woolly 5-4 mess in Arizona, the Hawks trounced the Stars from the opening minute.

Perhaps the only fault that could be found in Saturday’s effort was the lack of discipline, as the Hawks took

six penalties for the second straight game. Then again, they killed off all six and scored two shorthanded goals Saturday, after tallying one in Arizona.

“We find a way to win the games,” Anisimov said. “Three games, we find a way three different ways to win the game.”

Thirty-four seconds into the game, and five seconds into a power play, Brent Seabrook ripped a shot past old teammates Johnny Oduya and Ant-

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hawks potential opponent in possible St. Louis Winter Classic

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com DALLAS – The Blackhawks might be headed outdoors. Again.

The St. Louis Blues strongly are being considered for next year’s Winter Classic at Busch Stadium, with the Hawks as the potential opponent, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. If true, it would be the Hawks’ third Winter Classic and fifth outdoor game overall. Thirteen teams have never been selected for an outdoor game. The Hawks hosted the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field in the 2009 Classic, hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field in a Stadium Series game in 2014, played in last year’s Classic at Washington, and

will play a Stadium Series game in Minnesota on Feb. 21.

Next year is the NHL’s 100th anniversary, and the Blues’ 50th. Other possibilities for the Winter Classic include Toronto – which already is hosting the World Cup of Hockey and the World Juniors – and a rumored Flyers-Penguins matchup.

Mashinter in lineup again: Brandon Mashinter knows he’s not going to get a turn on the Blackhawks’ top line anytime soon. He knows what his role is, and he’s fully embraced it.

“I’m not that player that’s going to be playing 20 minutes a night in this league,” Mashinter said. “So you’ve just got to be prepared and chip in when you can.”

He got another chance Saturday night in Dallas, marking the first time he’s played in three straight games since Dec. 11 to 15. Jiri Sekac was a healthy scratch for the second straight game, as Mashinter continues to earn more of a regular, if limited, role. He has two goals in 23 games, but has been a reliable defensive presence on the fourth line.

“He plays the right way. He plays simple, gives us some speed, and he’s reliable,” Joel Quenneville said.

Of all the players who have been called up from Rockford over the course of the season, Mashinter might seem an unlikely one to stick for nearly three months, but he has. The fact is, he’s 27 years old and doesn’t fall under the

“prospect” label. So the Hawks don’t have to worry about getting him playing time in Rockford, like they do with, say, Marko Dano or Mark McNeill. Mashinter’s value is in his ability to play well in a limited role, which isn’t easy to do.

“It’s nice to get in a little bit of a rhythm,” Mashinter admitted. “It’s definitely a positive. As I said when I first got here, I’m not going to take it for granted. I’m going come here every day and work as hard as I can. And at the end of the day, if it doesn’t work out, I can say that I’ve worked my [rear end] off.”

Roster report: Michal Rozsival was in the lineup for the second straight game, with Rob Scuderi and Viktor Svedberg scratched.

• Sunday, February 7, 2016

DALLAS – Niklas Hjalmarsson pointed out that the Dallas Stars still have three games in hand on the Blackhawks, so a five-point lead doesn’t mean a whole heck of a lot.

Joel Quenneville pointed out that the Stars ran the Hawks out of American Airlines Center in the last game before Christmas. And Artem Anisimov pointed out that even after a big three-game road sweep, there’s plenty of hockey left to be played.

But in their 5-1 throttling of the Stars on Saturday, the Hawks quite clearly pointed out that the road to the Western Conference final likely still goes through Chicago.

Anisimov had a shorthanded goal and three assists, Marian Hossa added another shorthanded goal, and Corey Crawford was brilliant – “as usual,” Hjalmarsson said – in a 36save effort as the Hawks had about as big of a statement game as you can in early February. The Stars and Hawks will see each other three more times in the final two months of the season, including Thursday at the United Center.

Saturday’s win put the pre-Christmas loss – and that miserable threegame road losing streak leading into the desperately needed All-Star break – in the distant past for the Hawks, who now head home for a long-overdue four-game homestand.

ti Niemi for a 1-0 lead. Trevor van Riemsdyk perfectly timed a one-timer on a bouncing Artemi Panarin rebound to make it 2-0 at 16:26 of the first.

Tyler Seguin cleaned up a Jamie Benn shot that hit the post to cut the lead to 2-1 just 80 seconds later, but Toews’ tremendous move around Alex Goligoski allowed him to get a shorthanded shot on Niemi, and Hossa put in the rebound to make it 3-1 at 19:01 of the first.

The Stars turned the tide in the second, peppering Crawford with shots, but the Hawks’ goalie was up to the task, making 18 saves in the period.

Then, with Hossa in the box for tripping, Anisimov beat John Klingberg and Goligoski to the puck and flicked a shot past Kari Lehtonen – who replaced Niemi to start the second period – to make it 4-1. Patrick Kane put in an Anisimov rebound later in the second to make it 5-1.

“This was a big game,” Crawford said. “It was definitely one of the bigger ones this year. We’re happy to get that one, but there’s a lot of work to do the rest of the season.”

That includes three more against the Stars, and perhaps more in the playoffs. A message was sent on Saturday, but these two division rivals are just getting started.

“They beat us handily here last time,” Quenneville said. “So we’re even.”

48 SUPER BOWL 50: CAROLINA PANTHERS VS. DENVER BRONCOS: 5:30 p.m., SUNDAY; TV: CBS

Manning’s last game? Newton’s finest moment? We’ll see

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Peyton Manning’s last game? Cam Newton’s finest moment?

For all the golden tinge the NFL is placing on Super Bowl 50, this one just might come down to how the two star quarterbacks deal with the dynamic defenses bent on humbling them.

There can’t be a better storyline than a five-time MVP likely to take his final snaps with a championship on the line. Except, perhaps, the league’s rising star carrying his franchise to its first NFL title in the face of detractors.

Throw in those defenses: Denver’s ranks first overall in many statistics and certainly in intimidation, with a pass rush capable of neutralizing any air game; Carolina’s makes game-changing plays to the tune of a league-high 39 takeaways and a plus-20 turnover margin.

Add in a pair of coaches at the peak of their NFL careers, a relatively new stadium with nearly all imaginable technology, and a half-century

one of the most prolific and entertaining careers in sports history. He’s 39, has been plagued by injuries for much of the past five seasons, and, win or lose, has nothing left to prove.

It’s his fourth Super Bowl and, although he brings a 1-2 mark into this game, the losses don’t detract from his legacy.

“I think it is important to use all of your experience to your advantage,” Manning said. “I think you can always refer back to prior situations and two-minute drives, or a fourth-andgoal from the 2-yard line. The more experience you have, you can use that to AP photos help you.”

Head injuries are lasting effects of weekend’s celebration As you watch Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, have a good time with the hoopla, the ads, the hyperbole and – yes – even the game itself.

But just remember, entertainment is never free.

Can you be totally carefree about the spectacle, knowing some of the players are assuredly doing brain damage to themselves and others, sowing the seeds of dehumanization that may be reaped not too long from now?

The brain-trauma stats from playing football, especially playing it for many years, just keep coming in.

Recently, we found out former Oakland Raiders star quarterback Ken Stabler, who died at 69, “had moderately severe” chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, according to Dr. Ann McKee, the Boston University School of Medicine professor of neurology and pathology who conducted the post-mortem exam on Stabler’s brain.

“The lesions were widespread, and they were quite severe, affecting many regions of the brain,” McKee told the New York Times. CTE is the brain-wasting disease believed to be caused exclusively by blows to the head. Dementia, memory loss, personality changes, sleeping disorders, depression and ultimately death are CTE’s toll.

Stabler’s longtime partner, Kim

VIEWS Rick Telander Bush, made it clear Stabler had been suffering badly from brain damage for some time – 10 years was her estimate.

Stabler’s oldest daughter, Kendra Stabler Moyes, recalled when her twin teenage sons called her on the phone and said, ‘Mom, Papa keeps stopping at green lights.’ ” We all know about Mike Webster, Andre Waters, Dave Duerson and Junior Seau, the big horror stories documented in the movie “Concussion,” the major names that have helped bring awareness to the head-trauma problems of football. Hockey has its own list of brain-altered victims, too, from Bob Probert to Derek Boogaard to Steve Montador, the latter two of whom died at ages 28 and 35, respectively.

But there are dozens, possibly thousands of other victims of head-banging out there, some of them in the making as we watch. There was Mike Pyle, the ex-Bear who rapidly sank away and died last summer. The Boston brain-research group, led by McKee and other researchers as well as non-medical concussion evangelist Chris Nowins-

ki, has identified more than 100 other athletes whose brains showed signs of CTE. Former Denver Broncos running back Rob Lytle died of a heart attack at age 56 in 2010. He had been acting oddly in the years preceding, puzzling those close to him. His family recently announced Lytle’s brain was riddled with CTE. (There is no test to diagnose CTE in living humans.)

Then we have safety Tyler Sash, dead of a drug overdose at age 27. Sash won a Super Bowl ring with the New York Giants in 2012. He was among the youngest ever identified with the disease. There’s legend Frank Gifford and Ray Easterling and, of course, former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Chris Henry, who died at 26 – all found to have CTE. Nobody knows why some players don’t get CTE or what other factors, such as genetics or the timing of blows, might be involved. But it makes this observer wonder about, say, a marvelous young linebacker like the Carolina Panthers’ Luke Kuechly, who suffered a concussion in the first game this season, sat out 34 days and has played ever since.

Did his brain heal? Is that enough time? Is his injury problem solved?

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was knocked silly by a helmet-to-hel-

met collision with New Orleans Saints linebacker Michael Mauti in December. He left the field, was tested, came back and finished the game. Afterward he declared, “Hear me when I say I do not have a concussion.”

OK. Fine. But does he know for sure? We still don’t have a clear definition of what a concussion is. Even slight blows to the head can cause miniscule injury to some people’s brains.

Dr. Bennet Omalu, the whistleblower played by Will Smith in ‘‘Concussion,’’ recently stated he’s sure that O.J. Simpson’s bizarre criminal actions are at least partly the result of CTE. “I would bet my medical license on it,” the pathologist told ABC News.

A recent article in the Yale University News claims crazy Henry VIII “may have suffered repeated traumatic brain injuries similar to those experienced by football players.” This from a Yale expert in cognitive neurology.

Henry VIII, who took a beating in jousts and once was KO’d for two hours when a horse fell on him, died in 1547. Nobody knew anything about CTE back then.

We do now. Remember.

DEFENSES: Don’t for a minute think the defenses can’t decide this matchup.

Carolina feasts on mistakes, and Denver was a minus-4 in turnover differential, including 31 giveaways.

With two All-Pros at linebacker in Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, and another one with cornerback Josh Norman, the Panthers have playmakers all over. Safety Kurt Coleman tied for the NFC lead with seven interceptions and added two in the playoffs. DT Kawann Short is a disruptive force and had 11 sacks.

That unit struggled in the second half of the divisional-round win over Seattle, but it has a superior offense that scored 500 regular-season points

COACHES: Ron Rivera was tagged with the nickname “Riverboat Ron” years ago. He’s not truly a gambling coach, more someone who lets his players do what they do best. Sometimes that means taking chances, such as a reverse to Ted Ginn Jr. that resulted in a 22-yard TD in the NFC championship game.

Rivera has guided Carolina to three straight NFC South crowns, and couldn’t be more popular with his players because “he gives us the freedom to be us,” star tight end Greg Olsen said.

Gary Kubiak was an enlightened choice to take over the Broncos when team boss John Elway decided to release John Fox. He is Elway’s former backup and long-time buddy, and he has focused on building a balanced team that isn’t overly reliant on Manning.

Like Rivera, Kubiak’s players have his back.

50 NFL AWARDS

Newton, Watt big winners in postseason awards

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Cam Newton is now a Super Bowl quarterback with an MVP award.

Offensive Player of the Year, too.

And his coach, Ron Rivera, owns a second NFL honor as well.

Newton, the Carolina Panthers star, won The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year awards Saturday night.

“It means so much, but not just for myself,” Newton said in a video acceptance speech for the MVP award. “To be the first person in Panthers history to win it – that’s what I’m most proud about. I’ve received a lot of awards, but to be able to get this organization here, I’m really proud. We didn’t get in this position by happenstance. It took years of hard work and dedication, and now we are reaping the benefits.”

Newton was not on hand at the NFL Honors because he is busy preparing for a little game on Sunday against Denver. But just as he has for much of the week – for most of the season, really – Newton still was a dominant figure.

His father, mother and two brothers

accepted the Offensive Player award.

“Cam took an unconventional journey to get here, and we’re just so proud of what has happened, my family and I,” said Newton’s father, Cecil.

“So many thanks go out to so many people, from Pop Warner to the Panthers. I don’t have time to Cam Newton tell you all, ‘Thank you.’

You know who you are.

We know who you are.”

Newton was a landslide choice for MVP with 48 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who regularly J.J. Watt cover the NFL. Fellow QBs Tom Brady and Carson Palmer each received one vote.

Newton earned 18 votes for top offensive player. Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown was next with 10.

The All-Pro quarterback set an NFL mark for the position with 45 touchdowns this season: 35 passing and 10 rushing. He also ranked sixth in passer rating (99.4), while throwing for 3,837 yards. His 636 yards on the ground eas-

ily led all QBs, and the 10 touchdowns rushing were more than All-Pro running back Doug Martin of Tampa Bay scored.

Rivera led the Panthers to an unprecedented third straight NFC South title and two playoff victories. In a season featuring several outstanding coaching jobs, Rivera easily outdistanced the field. He received 36∏ votes, far in front of Kansas City’s Andy Reid with six votes.

Rivera also won the award two years ago. He dedicated this one to his late brother, Mickey, who died recently.

“It’s a tremendous award for the organization,” Rivera said. “It validates everything that we’ve done. And again, our success always starts at the top.

I really do appreciate our owner, Mr. (Jerry) Richardson, for believing in me and giving me my opportunity. Dave Gettleman and Marty Hurney – the two general managers I’ve worked with – I thank them for what they’ve done. Our coaching staff has been tremendous; our players have been outstanding.”

Another outstanding player, Houston end J.J. Watt, won his third Defensive Player of the Year Award in five pro seasons. He also won it in 2012 and

TIMBERWOLVES 112, BULLS 105

last year, when he was a unanimous choice.

This time, in tying Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor as the only players to take the award three times, Watt earned 37 votes.

“It’s almost difficult to comprehend because I’ve only been in the league five years,” Watt said. “So to think about where I’ve come from and where I am now and what lies ahead, those type of things, it almost doesn’t register because of the greatness of the guys that have come before me. So to even be considered amongst those guys is truly incredible. But I mean, that’s what the goal is. The goal is to come out here and try to be one of the best ever.”

Watt spoke about playing football in the yard with his brothers while growing up in Wisconsin, pretending to be Packers stars Reggie White or Brett Favre.

“There might be kids out there pretending that their wearing No. 99 is literally one of the coolest things in the entire world,” Watt said. “I was a 2-star recruit ... going into college, and now I have three Defensive Player of the Year trophies, so (take that) all you guys who doubted me.”

BULLS NOTES

Bulls continue slide despite Dunleavy’s return Butler’s return time unclear

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – The Bulls used to dine on adversity.

Pull it off the bone, chew on it and swallow it down. Star player in street clothes for months? No problem, next man up. Three games in four nights?

Heck, let’s play four in five. Game moved to the roof of the arena? Get the ladders.

This year’s team? No one wants to use the word “soft,’’ so let’s go ahead and use it for them.

Further evidence of that was offered up on Saturday, as the Bulls (2723) once again held a lead late over a below average NBA team, only to let go of the rope and crumble.

The latest collapse came courtesy of a 16-36 Minnesota team, as the Bulls (27-23) watched a five-point lead with 4:31 left slowly slip through their fingers and end in a 112-105 Timberwolves win.

“It definitely can,” veteran Mike Dunleavy said, when he was asked about this becoming mental. “I hope it doesn’t. This team – we talked about

it a little bit – we have to have a bigger team ego. To the point where it’s like, ‘Look, man, we go into games like we’re winning this game. And down the stretch, we’re going to handle business.’

There’s like this doubt that seems to be creeping in. We’re too good Mike for that. We got good players. We’re wellDunleavy coached. We have to execute better. But more importantly, we have to have that feeling like we’re going to get this done.”

A feeling completely lost on this trip, as the Bulls have fallen to teams such as Utah, Denver and now Minnesota late in games, sitting at 2-4 with one game left in Charlotte.

After a Pau Gasol jumper gave the Bulls that 101-96 lead, it was the same script, as the offense missed shots and the defense went limp.

Derrick Rose made two free throws with 2:55 left, and the Bulls didn’t score again.

“Not now. You can’t do it now,’’ Rose said, when asked if it was time to

start losing patience with this team.

“I’m not worried about it. We just got to find a way to hold on to the lead in the fourth quarter.”

When asked why he’s not worried about it, Rose said, “There’s a lot of basketball to play. We got two games left. Hopefully we can win these two, and try and catch a rhythm before AllStar.”

A hard get without Jimmy Butler (left knee) for at least one of those games. And even with Dunleavy finally making his season debut, as well as getting Gasol (left hand) back, there remained something very off about this team, especially on the defensive end.

“First and foremost, you have to have a couple games where things go your way and you make things happen,” Dunleavy said, when asked what will turn things around. “But you do it through practice and repetition, and mostly it’s just that belief inside. Whatever makes everybody individually good, you have to bring that together collectively. Just have that belief no matter who is playing and who is not.”

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com MINNEAPOLIS – It could have been worse.

Injuries and the Bulls usually are.

But the fact that Jimmy Butler’s MRI only showed a left knee strain, well, the organization will take that. As far as how long they will have to endure life without the two-time All-Star? That was yet to be determined.

“Right now it’s a strain,” first-year coach Fred Hoiberg said Saturday. “He’s actually on an airplane right now heading back to Chicago. He’ll see our doctors [Sunday morning], and we should get a better idea about timeframe and see what we want to do for treatments.

“Once he sees the doctor back home, we’ll get a better idea. But it’s the soft tissue around the knee is what the strain is.’’

Butler was injured in the second quarter of the eventual loss to Denver, and there were definitely some scary moments initially, especially when trainers were huddled around Butler.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: BIG TEN ROUNDUP

No. 4 Terps rally to top No. 18 Boilermakers The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Rasheed Sulaimon had 21 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, Robert Carter Jr. scored 19 and No. 4 Maryland rallied to beat 18th-ranked Purdue, 72-61, Saturday to extend its home winning streak to 25 games.

Purdue led 51-47 with 5:58 left before Carter hit a 3-pointer to spark a 9-0 run that put the Terrapins ahead for good.

The Terrapins (21-3, 10-2 Big Ten) won despite a poor shooting performance by guard Melo Trimble, who missed 10 of his 12 shots. He finished with 12 points by going 10 for 11 at the foul line.

A.J. Hammons scored 18 for the Boilermakers (19-5, 7-4).

Penn St. 68, No. 22 Indiana 63: At State College, Pennsylvania, Brandon Taylor scored 24 points, powering Penn State to the win.

3-pointers by Michigan State.

Forbes made seven of the Spartans’ 10 3-pointers in the half, and Michigan State finished 14 of 22 from beyond the arc. Long known for their rebounding and physicality, the Spartans (204, 7-4) now have made 47 3-pointers in their past three games. They beat Northwestern and Rutgers by a combined 65 points and the game against Michigan (17-7, 7-4) wasn’t too competitive, either.

Nebraska 87, Rutgers 63: At Lincoln, Nebraska, Andrew White had 21 points and eight rebounds and Nebraska ended a three-game losing streak.

The win was overshadowed by an injury to Nebraska forward Shavon Shields. He was taken off the court on a stretcher with 8:49 left after he flipped over the back of Rutgers’ D.J. Foreman, landed on his shoulder and struck his head on the court.

The Husker Sports Network reported Shields, who was briefly unconscious, was able to move his arms and legs.

Shields scored 17 points, Mike Jacobson added a season-high 13 and Ed Morrow had 10 for the Huskers (13-11, 5-6).

Freshman Corey Sanders scored 28 to lead Rutgers (6-18, 0-11).

CHARLESTON – Trae Anderson scored 27 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, and Demetrius McReynolds also had a double-double to lead Eastern Illinois over Southeast Missouri, 78-69, Saturday.

Anderson was 12 of 17 from the field while McReynolds scored 16 points and had 11 rebounds for the Panthers (11-13, 7-4), who remain atop the Ohio Valley Conference’s West Division with their fifth straight victory. Cornell Johnston had three 3-pointers, 11 points and seven assists.

Antonius Cleveland scored 15 points and collected 10 rebounds for the Redhawks (5-19, 2-9), who have lost three in a row.

Khristian Smith knotted it at 55 with a free throw, but Thomas and Ronnie Suggs gave Bradley a four-point lead from the line. Smith got the Sycamores within one with a three-point play with 27 seconds left, but Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye and Suggs each hit two free throws to put the game away.

Luuk van Bree scored 15 points and Suggs added 10 for Bradley (4-21, 2-10).

Davonte Brown scored 16 points for Indiana State (13-11, 7-5).

Aaric Armstead and Levi Bradley scored 15 points apiece to lead NIU (167, 5-5 MAC West).

Loyola 73 S. Illinois 59: At Carbondale, Montel James scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Loyola of Chicago rolled over SIU. Donte Ingram and Devon Turk added 14 points apiece for the Ramblers (11-13, 4-8 MVC).

Creighton 88, DePaul 66: At Omaha, Nebraska, Cole Huff scored a season-high 28 points on 9-for-11 shooting as Creighton dominated DePaul.

Geoffrey Grosselle added 15 points and 11 rebounds for Creighton (15-9, 6-5

Big East).

Isaiah Zierden made two free throws with 5:55 before halftime to give Creighton a 23-17 lead. Then Huff went on his own 10-0 run in a span of 1:22, including a 4-point play, back-to-back jumpers and a dunk, to put the Bluejays up 33-17.

In the last three minutes of the half, Huff hit two more 3s and a jumper. He scored all 18 of his first-half points in the final 5:14, shooting 7 for 7 from the field in 13 minutes of action.

Myke Henry led DePaul (8-15, 2-9) with 22 points.

Valparaiso 73, UIC 55: At Chicago, Alec Peters scored 15 points and added seven rebounds, and Valparaiso had little trouble with Illinois-Chicago.

Darien Walker finished with 12 points, and Jubril Adekoya had 11 points and six boards for the Crusaders (20-4, 10-1 Horizon League), who have won four straight and 10 of 11.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. – Wesley Iwundu scored 22 points, and Kansas State upset top-ranked Oklahoma, 8069, Saturday night to shake up the Big 12 race once again.

Freshman reserve Dean Wade had 17 points for the Wildcats (14-9, 3-7), who snapped the Sooners’ four-game win streak by holding in check player of the year front-runner Buddy Hield.

The high-scoring guard had 23 points, but a big chunk came in the final minutes, when the Sooners (193, 7-3) were desperately trying to rally against a team that wouldn’t budge an inch.

It was Kansas State’s first victory against a No. 1 team since topping Kansas on Feb. 11, 2011, and just the fifth time the program had knocked off the nation’s best team.

No. 2 North Carolina also lost, falling 80-76 at Notre Dame. According to STATS, it was the first time the top two teams in the country lost to unranked schools on the same day since Jan. 21, 2006, when No. 1 Duke lost to Georgetown and No. 2 Florida was defeated by Tennessee.

Ryan Arcidiacono scored 16 points to help the Wildcats (20-3, 10-1) to their 12th victory in 13 games.

Ben Bentil led Providence (18-6, 6-5) with 20 points. The Friars beat the Wildcats 82-76 in overtime on Jan. 24.

Bentil didn’t start after spraining his right ankle in Providence’s loss Tuesday at DePaul. But he led the comeback effort in the second half against Villanova, scoring 18 points in the final 20 minutes.

Kansas (19-4, 7-3), which had lost its previous three conference road games, never trailed after scoring the game’s first seven points.

Devonte Graham added 15 points for the Jayhawks, who shot 50 percent from the field.

Brandon Parrish and JD Miller had 13 points each for TCU (10-13, 1-9).

bounced back from a 69-56 loss at Georgia on Tuesday. Mindaugus Kacinas finished with 11 points.

Danuel House and Alex Caruso had 16 points apiece for Texas A&M (18-5, 7-3), which has lost two in a row and three of four. Jalen Jones scored 14 points in the Aggies’ first home loss of the season.

No. 9 Virginia 64, Pittsuburgh, 50: At Pittsburgh, Malcolm Brogdon scored 21 points, and Virginia earned its sixth consecutive victory.

London Perrantes added 14 for the Cavaliers (19-4, 8-3), who remain unbeaten (4-0) against the Panthers since Pitt moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2013. Virginia took control after the Panthers tied it early in the second half, knocking down three straight 3-pointers during a game-turning 12-0 run.

Jamel Artis led Pittsburgh (17-5, 6-4) with 17 points, and Michael Young had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

The Cardinals (19-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) followed up Monday’s upset of No. 2 North Carolina with a lopsided win despite uneven stretches. The absence of leading scorer Damion Lee (bruised knee) impacted their rotation, but plenty of teammates stepped up to fill the void in an emotional game.

Sammy Barnes-Thompkins scored 11 points for Boston College (7-16, 0-10).

No. 20 Kentucky 80, Florida 61: At Lexington, Kentucky, Jamal Murray scored a career-high 35 points, and Kentucky ended a rare two-game losing streak.

Dorian Finney-Smith led the Gators (15-8, 6-4) with 24 points.

No. 23 Arizona 77, Washington 72: At Seattle, Ryan Anderson had 22 points and 15 rebounds for Arizona, and Kadeem Allen hit a 3-pointer with 1:01 left as the shot clock expired.

Anderson was a force inside, making 6 of 12 shots and hitting 10 of 11 free throws, and Allen’s big play gave the Wildcats a 75-70 lead.

Gabe York added 18 points for Arizona (19-5, 7-4 Pac-12).

Andrew Andrews led Washington (15-8, 7-4) with 20 points.

No. 24 Dayton 98, George Mason 64:

At Fairfax, Virginia, Charles Cooke scored 24 points to help Dayton to its seventh straight win.

The Flyers (19-3, 9-1) moved into a tie atop the Atlantic 10 standings after Virginia Commonwealth’s loss earlier in the day to George Washington.

Otis Livingston led George Mason (8-15, 2-8) with 21 points.

Jang’s late birdie leads to 1st LPGA Tour title

OCALA, Fla. – Ha Na Jang had to go the final 36 holes with the best player in women’s golf to capture her first LPGA Tour title Saturday.

Lydia Ko turned out to be more of a cheerleader than a challenge.

Ko fell back in surprising fashion with three bogeys and a double bogey in a five-hole stretch. Jang suddenly had to worry more about Canadian teen Brooke Henderson, and Ko was at Jang’s side to push her along in the cold and increasing rain over the final hour at the Coates Golf Championship.

Jang reclaimed the lead with a 5-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole and then added a birdie on the 18th that only affected the margin. The 23-year-old Korean was in tears when the final putt dropped on a long week brought on my heavy rain Thursday. Jang played 54 holes over the last two days.

SAN FRANCISCO – The first NFL game Brett Favre ever attended, as a teenager growing up in Mississippi, was the final home game of Ken “The Snake” Stabler’s career.

Favre, a New Orleans Saints fan, traveled the hour-or-so drive from home to the Superdome on that Sunday in 1994 with his father, older brother and uncle – and it was a thrill to watch a guy who electrified a stadium the way Favre himself would one day.

“All of a sudden, the crowd goes crazy, and it’s because Ken Stabler poked his head out of the locker room. He had hair like mine. His was just a lot longer, kind of aged and gray,” recounted Favre, wearing an all-black outfit and sporting a full white beard. “And I thought: Man, that’s cool. ... It’s got to be cool to be ‘The Snake.’ And then they lost.

My dad was throwing popcorn and beer. ... I thought: Maybe it’s not so good to be ‘The Snake.’ ” Favre and the late Stabler, a pair of kindred-spirit QBs who each won a Super Bowl, entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame together Saturday.

Also voted in for the Class of 2016 a day before the Super Bowl were modern-day players Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison and Orlando Pace, coach Tony Dungy, contributor Ed DeBartolo Jr., and senior selection Dick Stanfel.

the Stadium Course was 189,722 in 2014. The event also set a day record Friday at 160,415, and has drawn 553,035 for the first six days – close to the weekly mark of 564,368 set last year.

Dear Abby: During my childhood, my parents fought loudly and often.

When I was 12, they spoke to my sister and me about getting a divorce. I was heartbroken and fought back.

Like any kid in that situation, I was upset and scared.

I told them they were being selfish and irresponsible for breaking up our family when they were the ones who chose to have children in the first place. They ended up staying together and never mentioned the D-word again.

It’s 15 years later; they have now been married for 40 years. When I’m around, I still hear them squabble, but nothing like when I was young. They obviously care about one another.

As an adult, I am plagued by guilt. Had I been older and wiser when they first contemplated divorce, I would have agreed they probably were not a good match, and told them to do whatever they needed to be happy.

Did I do the wrong thing when I was young? Should I say something now or leave well enough alone? I feel I may have kept my parents in a loveless relationship, and while I’m happy they’re still together, I can’t help but wonder if I should have kept my mouth shut. I’d appreciate your opinion. – Remorseful In The South Dear Remorseful: What

you said when you were 12 may have affected your parents’ decision about divorcing, but it was not the deciding factor. It may have slowed them down and made them think as long as their children were minors, they should make a greater effort to keep the family intact.

By the time you became an adult nine years ago, they appear to have made peace and patched up their major differences. As you stated, “They obviously care about

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips one another.”

Because you carry feelings of guilt over this, if you feel comfortable enough to do so, talk to your parents about it. If not, then discuss it with a counselor because blaming yourself for reacting as any 12-year-old would is wrong.

Dear Abby: I am a single parent of four children ages 5 to 13. I want to go back to school to better myself and make a better life for them because I am raising them on my own. I keep putting off going back because something always comes up.

I’m afraid if I keep this up, then I’ll never do it and will live with regret for the rest of my life.

I don’t have a stable support system, and I work full time, so I’m also worried about having no time for my children, although I hardly have any now. Most days I feel like a bad parent and want to cry. What would you recommend I do? Can you help me push myself? –

Wants No Regrets Dear Wants No Regrets: Set

goals for yourself. Explore career counseling at your nearest community college and ask for guidance about child care options. When you do, ask if you can take one or two classes a semester, rather than a full course load, and if any of the classes you need are online. That way, you won’t be spending a lot of time away from your children, and at the same time you’ll be setting an example for them to follow about the importance of education.

It’s more than a football game. For many, the Super Bowl is a giant party.

Punch up the party fun and win accolades with these quick, do-it-yourself decorations.

“This should be fun and easy and something that your kids can do with you. It shouldn’t add any stress,” advised football fan Amy Panos, deputy editor of home design for Better Homes and Gardens magazine. “It needs to add to the festivities. Let’s face it: It’s the last time you’re going to watch football till August.”

Have time for only one party accessory?

Make penalty flags, Panos said.

They’re simple: Put a pingpong ball inside a 10-inch square of fabric or thick paper napkin – you can use Denver Broncos orange and Carolina Panthers blue for this year’s Super Bowl. Gather up the four corners and wrap them with a rubber band (it’ll look like an orange or blue ghost).

Display an armload of these in a basket near the TV. “Sometimes you just need to throw the flag at somebody,” said Panos, who keeps a basket of these in her Des Moines, Iowa, family room year-round.

“It’s usually while watching a sporting event when we throw the flag,” she said. “Or if someone is throwing M&Ms or being rude, they get the flag [thrown].”

Another quick idea: Buy an assortment of striped tube (athletic) socks – again, shocking orange and bright blue suit this year’s color scheme – and cut them below the striped ribbing to use as drink cozies.

Get deeper into the game by making pennants – it’s basically a triangle, right? Cut small ones from construction paper or cardstock and attach them to toothpicks and drink stirrers to adorn appetizers and drinks. Make larger ones from card stock or felt and attach them to dowels to tuck into vases, a trophy cup or a front-door wreath.

Or try this table-decorating idea from Marianne Canada, a designer for HGTV. com who hosts its Crafternoon series: Draw football laces onto several small,

ABOVE: Punch up the Super Bowl party fun with a few handmade decorations, including a centerpiece crafted from inexpensive clay pots painted with white “football laces” lines and filled with grocery-store flowers.

terra-cotta pots with a white paint pen.

First, draw a thick vertical line; let it dry and then add horizontal lines across the vertical line and let them dry. Insert moistened floral foam and flowers in the teams’ colors.

Time strapped? Use white electrical tape instead.

“It makes a great graphic impact, but it’s really inexpensive and it’s something you can put together in 30 minutes,” Canada said.

You can decorate Mason jars the same way. Or roll up brown sheets of

construction paper to form funnels, and tape or staple them closed before painting or taping with football lacing. Fill the funnels with popcorn or other party snack food, Canada said.

A last-minute decorating idea?

“Display a few footballs on the mantle or on the food table or coffee table, or grab a kid’s helmet and put that on display,” Panos said.

Guests could construct their own penalty flags or larger pennants during the game and take them home as party favors.

EnvironmentTip To grow renewable energy, speak up

Speak your mind if you want to see renewables change the face of energy.

Do your research to choose and elect candidates who sup-

port clean energy at the local, state and national level.

The will of the people concerned about the environment created a demand for solar energy, and what happened? The solar sector beat out the oil and

gas extraction industry in 2014, creating almost 50 percent more jobs in the U.S. than those industries did, according to the National Solar Jobs Census of 2014 by The Solar Foundation.

These are jobs open to those

with different backgrounds, including manufacturing, installation, sales and administration.

Be an active participant with information. It matters.

As winter drags on, splurge on your home, designers say

| Style | Sunday, February 7, 2016 • NWHerald.com

By MELISSA RAYWORTH • The Associated Press

o many of our home-improvement and design choices are practical ones: Which sofa will stand up over the years? Which paint color matches the furniture? But what about changes that really could elevate our happiness at home?

Sometimes the smallest things can make home life easier and more joyful: Interior designer Kate Jackson said starting each day using her sterling silver spoons makes the morning feel more special for her whole family.

We’ve asked Jackson and two other designers – Sarah Fishburne, director of trend and design for the Home Depot, and New York-based Danielle Colding – about home innovations and splurges you can give yourself to perk up your interior while it’s cold outside.

Warm floors all winter

Colding had a client with a large house that often was filled with friends. The kitchen was the most-used room, and “he just wanted the luxury of that room feeling really good,” Colding said, but “it just felt cold.”

So they found a creative solution: Adding a heated floor.

The key to these kinds of investments, Colding said, is knowing which ones will really improve your daily life. Although expensive, a heated kitchen floor is a feature you can use every day in the fall and winter.

“It’s like when people spend $300 on jeans and it sounds crazy,” Colding said, but they wear those jeans constantly and treasure them.

Upgrading your closet

“There’s something about a really well organized, decked-out closet,” Fishburne said, that improves the start of every day.

When you get dressed, she said, “you’re not rushing, going ‘Where did I put this?’”

And you wear more of your clothes because you actually can see them.

Technology has made closet planning

simpler and more fun: Home Depot and other companies offer online planning tools that let you sketch out different configurations.

And the range of storage solutions and styles of closet interiors has been expanding.

A house sound system

Jackson, who is based in Rhode Island, said clients who have invested in good sound systems installed in the walls are always glad they did.

“Sounds can obviously set a mood and have a really powerful effect on how we feel through the day,” she said. Few things affect an entire home so powerfully, she said. And unlike a piece of furniture you might get tired of, easy access to great sound is “the gift that keeps on giving.”

High-end linens

Treating yourself and your guests to soft, crisp sheets and fluffy towels can be expensive, Colding said. But the difference in quality and comfort can be surprising, and for some people, the enjoyment is worth the investment. And on a practical level, “they last forever,” she said, and “they wash really well.”

Photo provided

Truly luxurious bed linens can cost upward of $1,000, but interior designer Kate Jackson says some clients find the investment worthwhile. High-end linens tend to last much longer than less expensive ones, she said, and they launder beautifully.

Touch faucet

One less expensive treat Fishburne has “kind of fallen in love with” is a high-tech touch faucet. These switch on with just the lightest pressure – even a quick tap from

an elbow or fingertip. So if you’re cooking and have your hands full, you can turn on the water without putting down a hot pot or heavy colander. A light shows blue or red, depending on the water temperature.

Are you ready YOU’RE INVITED for a relationship? FREE MULTIMEDIA MARKETING SEMINAR

Note to readers: Love 101 is a new Northwest Herald relationship blog.

Follow Molly Hillig’s advice at NWHerald.com/features/relationships.

When my last relationship ended, I felt traumatized and thought to myself, “Will anyone ever want to be with me again?”

I had accomplished so much in my life professionally and socially, and I had a high sense of personal achievement. However, after ending my last long-term, I felt terrified of the unknown and questioned my persona in its entirety.

After dedicating many hours to self reflection and swimming through internal dark waters, I began to realize everything in my life was created by me. I allowed myself to be wrapped up in unfulfilling relationships that ultimately caused pain and suffering to both parties. For years, I had blamed my past partners, only to find the pain began with me.

This was particularly true in my first marriage. Newly married, I have spent the past three years since my divorce walking the path to my best self.

As a relationship coach and expert in behavioral change, I share my experience with others and support them to live their best relationships. Each week, I will be here sharing tips about relationships with you.

When I first married, I believed that I had it all, plus some. My Brazilian husband was fun, attractive and we shared similar life goals.

Our house often was filled with laughter and delicious meals, and he attended to my every request. I thoroughly enjoyed bragging to new acquaintances I was married to a Brazilian, that we spoke a foreign language together and I was the breadwinner in the relationship. It gave me a sense of pride. I was so busy living this staged life I did not make time for the painful reality that existed.

After a few short months of marriage, it was clear my partner was not ready for and did not understand the commitment behind saying “I do.” Our marriage was salvageable, but I was too scared to look at my own personal mess, so it was easier to leave.

I despised the idea of walking away from a commitment I made publicly, particularly when my marriage looked so good on paper. However, it was easier to blame him for our problems and leave.

From the moment I walked out the door to today, my journey of healing has been tumultuous and en-

LOVE 101 Molly Hillig

lightening. I have been forced to see my deeply rooted biases towards the opposite sex and beliefs that feel safe but do not serve me.

Many current relationship beliefs can be linked back to relationships from the past or the relationship you are in now. People often rush into relationships and dating with blinders on. Then, when it inevitably goes sour and the heartache kicks in, the rhetorical questions kick in: “What did I do wrong?” “What should I have done differently?” “Why did he/she act that way?”

If this article has touched you in anyway, I invite you to participate in an activity with me. Grab a piece of paper and a pen. Write a detailed list of attributes you would like a current or future partner to have. Be honest. Examples include: My next partner must be wealthy, attractive, kind-hearted, a dog lover, confident, honest to himself and others, funny – whatever your desires are.

Then honestly check in with yourself – do you personally have all the attributes you expect from your partner? Which of these attributes would you like to improve in yourself? Write a few sentences of your feelings/first thoughts below the list.

Performing this activity gave me a big wake-up call. All the qualities I expected from a future partner, I had not fully accomplished in myself. At that moment, I made a personal promise to be the best person possible, so when I did meet someone of interest, I was ready for a wonderful relationship.

Let’s face it, no relationship is easy.

Relationships require a lot of energy and nurturing. The decision to improve myself has been empowering. I now am putting much-needed and deserved attention into myself, every day I feel stronger. It led me to meet the most amazing person I could have imagined for myself, and we are getting married this month.

I believe meaningful relationships are created by design. I have helped hundreds of clients find meaning in their dating and relationships, and I’m excited to share what I know with you.

They normally hibernate from October or November to April or May. But they were late going down this season, and in mid-January, one of them was up walking around in 70-degree weather, Bernstein said.

At work, Bernstein is surrounded by more evidence of climate change.

“Flea season used to be seasonal

too, but now we treat for fleas all year long,” Bernstein added.

John Trumble, a distinguished professor of entomology at the University of California, Riverside, said environmental conditions are creating larger populations of smaller fleas and ticks that will eat more frequently, develop more rapidly and spread more pathogens.

LOS ANGELES– Climate change doesn’t just affect habitats for wildlife.

It’s also affecting cats and dogs.

Fleas and ticks are getting smaller, but there are more of them, they eat more often, and they’re causing problems in what used to be the colder months.

Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, but those mosquitoes – which used to be found only in certain regions – are now carrying the disease all over the U.S. Increased temperatures have turned kitten season into a year-long event instead of a spring ritual. The weather is even disrupting hibernation for a California woman’s pet tortoises.

NASA recently declared 2015 was the hottest year on Earth in 136 years of record-keeping with an average temperature of 58.62 degrees.

For pet-owners, those changes may mean rethinking preventive care such as giving dogs flea and tick repellent and heartworm pills.

For example, now that heartworm

has been found in every state, “I don’t know why a person wouldn’t give his dog heartworm pills once a month.

That seems like a no-brainer,” said Gregory D. Ebel, professor and specialist in infectious diseases at Colorado State University’s veterinary school in Fort Collins.

Ticks cause Lyme disease in dogs as well as in humans. The bugs are most active in warm months, but with cities in the Northeast and Midwest setting record highs this past December, calendars no longer offer guidance on when pet-owners should worry and when they can relax. Dogs should be checked for ticks, just like people, and veterinarians can offer guidance on a variety of pest repellent products.

Margery Cooper, a dog owner in Brooklyn, New York, lost her beloved dog Scout to complications from Lyme disease a few years ago. She’s now the owner of Penny, a mixed-breed rescue, and she’s vigilant about checking Penny for ticks, especially after they go on hikes together.

Author Spotlight

KELLY GRAY WILLIAMS

Latest Book: “The Princess Rancher” Publisher: Belle Isle Books/Brandylane Publishing, Richmond, Virginia Release Date: November 2015 What’s your new book about?

(From Williams’ bio) Kelly Williams wasn’t born into ranching. Before she ever learned to ride a horse, her life was one of globe-trotting and high comfort. But when her marriage fell apart, it set her off on a new path that would lead to open spaces, tangles of barbed wire, and the sweat, dust and tears of cattle ranching. Through it all, one thing that remained constant was her love of food, and her memoir serves as an ode to the ages-old tradition of the men and women who toil from sun-up to sun-down to put beef on our dinner tables. It is a story of risk, reward and reinvention that captures a disappearing American way of life.

Where did the idea come from?

Baby Boomers are redefining what retirement looks like. Most are working longer because of economics or desire. Jobs also are disappearing for those in mid-life, so reinvention is becoming a necessity for many. Yet one thing has changed: A mid-life career reevaluation for many means having the moxie to go after our dreams by thinking outside of the box. My story is about reinvention in the most unlikely of ways and how many skills that we develop over a lifetime can parlay themselves into careers that are dramatically different from our present circumstances.

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

My book is a memoir. I feel my story is important to tell for two reasons. One, because it is about the power of change and how it can transform our life, and two, because people are getting more concerned about where their food comes from.

Because of this desire, it is important for the American rancher to be understood in the right way.

Many times the public gets its information from the Internet, and it is not always accurate. Being part of the 1 percent of the population who now feeds the other 99 percent, I believe ranchers need to become the loudest voice for our industry, because it is important for people to understand what we go through to put beef on the tables of the American consumer.

Who is the intended audience?

The story has a broad appeal because it has many facets. It isn’t just about the beef industry. It is about change, tough choices and triumph.

Why is this story important to you?

The story is important to me not just because it

Kelly Gray (Granger) Williams

is my story but because it shows the real power of hard work, difficult choices and survival against many odds.

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

‘The Princess Rancher’ took me about six months to write. The idea came one day as I was cleaning horse stalls. Once I started writing, the story flowed easily, but my biggest challenge was finding the time to write. I am a morning person, so I wrote in the morning before our working day started so that I could stay on track.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

The most enjoyable part of writing this book was reliving the story of how my husband and I picked ourselves up after his industry and career evaporated into thin air and the faith it took to start a new, dramatically different business and succeed.

The hardest part was the insecurity and doubt that comes with telling your own personal story.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

My book is published by a traditional publisher, and I am so fortunate for their belief in me, my story and their dedication to helping me make my story the best that it could be. It was an amazing journey for me as a writer, and I have learned a lot about the story-telling process and writing in general.

What is your education/background?

I have a BS degree in advertising from Northern Illinois University with a strong emphasis in business and psychology. Later, I studied herbal medicine for two years and became a certified massage therapist about nine years ago.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I have been writing most of my life. It is a very relaxing process for me, and I love the entire process.

With the release of ‘The Princess Rancher,’ I have been blessed with the opportunity to tell my story,

one that is very important to me and at the same time have a publisher that believed in me and my story enough to take a chance. Bringing the story to life has been an exciting journey.

Who are your favorite authors?

John Grisham, Ernest Hemingway, Ayn Rand, the list goes on and on. I am a passionate reader.

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

John Grisham Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Stephen King Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Ebooks are great and convenient. but I will always desire the feel of a book in my hands.

What’s next for you?

I have a book in process that is fiction about a less than stellar cowboy. I also am working on a nonfiction book about change and reinvention that looks at the process in more detail with a step-by-step guide to evaluate our own personal skill base and turn it upside down for an out-of-the-box look at career possibilities.

“THE PRINCESS RANCER RELEASE: November 2015 ABOUT: Kelly Gray (Granger) Williams, formerly of Fox River Grove and a 1979 graduate of Cary-Grove High School, details her life as she went from traveling the world through a divorce and eventual marriage to a rancher and her new life raising horses and cattle.

Instantly beautiful: Zingaro Nature Reserve

By AARON JACKSON The Associated Press

SCOPELLO, Italy – The Zingaro Nature Reserve is a wild and rugged stretch of land that runs along the coast of northwest Sicily. Mountains rise above sandy beaches with views of the sea in two distinct bands of color: translucent aqua in the shallow waters near the shore, and a deep, dark blue beyond.

Cars are not allowed, and neither are new buildings. The park is dotted with old stone structures, and families who lived and farmed in the area before the reserve was created in 1981 use pack mules to bring goods in and out.

The park is located outside Castellammare del Golfo, about an hour west of Palermo. My partner and I drove there from our agritourismo – a farm with guest rooms – through the pretty little town of Scopello.

We parked in a lot just outside the reserve. A short tunnel connects the parking lot to the trail, and when you emerge, you just can’t believe how instantly beautiful it is, requiring just the smallest effort to see the stunning landscape.

If you go Zingaro Nature Reserve is in Italy about an hour west of Palermo, Sicily, outside Castellammare del Golfo near the town of Scopello.

Adults, 5 euros; children up to age 14, 3 euros. Open daily 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Detailed directions, itineraries and places to stay: www. riservazingaro.it/index.php?lang=en.

The main trail splits into a few others, but they’re well-marked. We kept it simple and just stayed on the route that hugs the coast. It’s a relatively easy trail with some ups and downs, but no real climbing other than some stairs. Now and then, a spur from the trail heads down to several small, pretty beaches.

On our trip, the park was quiet, with wildflowers everywhere. We only occasionally met other people as we walked. There was no shade on the trail at midday, but the sea breeze kept us cool and the air was fresh.

We spent just a few hours at Zingaro, but we hope to return on another trip to spend a whole day, free of the motorized world, watching the light change as the day wears on and exploring this gem of a place.

Gem Talk

Purple is the color of royalty and with the captivating shades of amethyst it’s no wonder people are drawn to this gemstone to express their noble nature. Amethyst reveals the drama and excitement of the color purple.

With its tranquil lilac shades to those of a deep, dark plum, amethyst is the perfect accessory for a fancy night out on the town or just for a normal day out. Amethyst has always been associated with intense emotion and passion. Perhaps that’s why the legend of its origin is so fitting.

According to legend, Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, was offended by a mortal one day. He furiously called forth vicious tigers to demand revenge on the next mortal that would cross his path. Unfortunately, the maiden Amethyst, on her way to pay tribute to the Goddess Diana, became the unlucky voyager. This innocent girl suddenly found herself in a face-to-face standoff with the tiger buddies of the ruthless god. In order to save her from the beasts, Diana turned Amethyst into a statue of pure crystalline quartz. The crystal maiden was so gorgeous that Dionysus, now in mourning and full of regret, wept tears of rich wine over the statue. In doing so, his tears stained the quartz purple, thus creating the elegant gem that still bears her name.

While the origins of amethyst’s name are rooted in revenge and immortal remorse, the amethyst exhibits a much happier tone in modern society. In addition to being used as the birthstone for February, it is used to celebrate the 4th, 6th and 9th wedding anniversaries. Being of the gem species quartz, there is an abundant worldwide supply, which makes this a very affordable gemstone as well as very versatile since it comes in such a multitude of different shades.

Dream therapy can provide insights Sigmund Freud called dreams “the royal road to the unconscious,” and most therapists, except for a few who rely entirely on behavioral or cognitive reconditioning, would agree.

There are as many ways to interpret dreams as there are therapists, but I like an approach that breaks the dream into all its characters, and retells the dream from all of their points of view. That is because each character, setting and situation arises from the dreamer’s mind and is, therefore, an aspect of the dreamer.

Many years ago, I was treating an 11-year-old girl who had been molested by her stepfather. She said she’d never told anyone because she was afraid he would leave the family, “and then, how would we buy food or pay rent?” One night, she dreamed she was driving a huge truck. She hardly could see over the steering wheel or reach the pedals. Although the truck was too big for her and was almost out of control, she had to drive

because her mother was asleep in the back.

This dream expressed the situation in which she found herself more clearly and poignantly than she could describe it consciously. When she told the story from the sleeping mother’s point of view, she said, “I don’t want to know what’s going on. I’m tired.”

The girl believed she was responsible for holding the family together.

She felt she had to submit to the unwanted attentions of her stepfather to accomplish this. She did not believe her mother could handle the responsibility, and, in some ways, her analysis was correct. The weak link in the family was revealed to be the mother, who eventually admitted she knew something was wrong but failed to investigate. She literally was “asleep at the wheel,” so her daughter had to be the adult.

Treatment was successful when the mother took her proper role, confronted her husband and insisted that

he get treatment or leave. I knew the daughter was going to be OK when she began to dream and fantasize about a popular rock star.

I encourage my clients to write down their dreams, because dreams fade quickly if not recalled and reviewed immediately – and they do provide clues about how people feel about themselves, how they view their lives and what strengths are available to them. Often these feelings, beliefs and strengths remain buried until revealed through dream language, which is always symbolic and often misunderstood by the dreamer.

I utilize the same techniques I use with clients to keep myself on track: Two years ago, when I was struggling to keep up with my caseload and other responsibilities and was feeling overwhelmed, I had a dream.

I am on-call, and there is a crisis somewhere. I am headed there, but as I walk out through the office, I en-

counter my father, grandmother and other ancestors sitting around a table.

They look up as I enter the room; my father gives me a big smile and says, “We saved a seat for you.” I tell him I am swamped with work and can’t sit down. He says, “We are trying to help with that.”

I tell him, “Thanks. I really need help,” and continue on my way.

When I awakened, I paid attention to what my unconscious was telling me and took care of myself. I got the help I needed.

You don’t always need a therapist to tell you what your dreams mean, but sometimes your dreams tell you when you need a therapist.

Natural charm allows addict to manipulate the system “James” had a natural charm. From the time he was a kid, he was able to talk his way in and out of situations that got most of his peers in trouble. He was highly intelligent and could talk to anybody, and some said he was the most manipulative person they knew. He seemed to know intuitively what would move people in one direction or another. He could act sure of himself even when he wasn’t, and he could drag out the emotionalism when it served his purpose. He knew how to get his way in almost every circumstance.

Growing up wasn’t something James thought about too much. His obsession with money and possessions took the lead. Along with this obsession and drive came

cocaine and, later, heroin. Although he had a wife and two children, his first love was always himself. His second love was coke, booze, dope and money, though not necessarily in that order.

“James” had an underdeveloped, or perhaps nonexistent, conscience. He substituted conscience with what he thought other people wanted from him mixed liberally with whatever he wanted in the moment, which increasingly became drugs and money.

Before long, he was caught at work with his hand in the cookie jar, padding expenses, manipulating budgets and flat out stealing. To his great surprise, all the charm, manipulation, expensive lawyers and ego-driven anger couldn’t prevent a four-year stint in a

federal prison.

It was here that James first learned about recovery.

He jumped at the chance to “admit” his addiction because the substance abuse treatment program would knock six months off of his prison time. He learned the language, talked the talk and became the “most important recovering person” in the joint. He wasn’t able to be sincere. He always had an angle and did nothing that wasn’t in his own best interest, despite long and impassioned speeches to other inmates to the contrary.

By the time he was released, he had morphed his persona completely from “greedy corporate criminal” to “loving, giving recovering person.” What he hadn’t

done was recover. He stayed clean for four months, until one of his previous business partners died of a heroin overdose. Then James went on a two-year opiate binge.

By the time he started to realize his family-less, moneyless, conscience-less position, it was almost too late. He realized he’d have to start at the bottom with character building and not at the top with ego.

He started actually going to 12-step meetings rather than saying he was, and he sincerely asked for the guidance of a sponsor, something he’d never done. He realized he couldn’t help anybody else before he helped himself.

James cleaned up, and after a little time in a homeless shelter, he found a half-way

house that would accept a penniless felon. James isn’t leading the group anymore; he’s in the audience listening carefully to every word. His name isn’t on the marquee because his manipulative appeal almost killed him and could have taken many vulnerable people down with him. He’s slowly learning who he is and how far he has to go to become “right-sized,” which translates for him today as simple, sober and happy.

Girl Scouts mix old and new while looking to reach a new generation

By OLIVIA MORRISSEY • editorial@nwherald.com

W

ith the click of a button, Thin Mints, Savannah Smiles and Rah-Rah Raisins will be delivered to your doorstep. Now that’s one smart cookie.

To meet the growing demand for convenient online ordering of Girl Scout cookies, Girl Scouts of the USA pondered ways to incorporate modern technology into the more traditional practices of the Girl Scouts. So while chapters still offer painting, games, crafts and field trips, as well as community involvement and volunteerism, when it came to cookie sales, leaders saw an opportunity to reach a more tech-savvy generation.

The result was Digital Cookie, an online platform launched in 2015 for Girl Scouts to not only sell cookies, but also to hone the “5 Skills” essential to the young entrepreneurial spirits: goal-setting, money management, people skills, decision making and business ethics.

“We began to see a huge learning opportunity for girls to understand how to create an honorable online presence, e-commerce business and marketing a product online,” said Ann-Marie Soderstrom, communications manager at Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois. “We love this idea for girls to try as they sell their cookies, and the response we’ve received from both girls and parents has been overwhelmingly positive.”

According to the Associated Press, about 160,000 Girl Scouts nationwide participated in the optional program over the past year. The girls were credited with selling nearly 2.5 million boxes of cookies beyond those sold through traditional in-person methods.

LEFT: Junior Girl Scouts Rachel Grismer (left) and Alexandra Conroy add details to their owl paintings during a troop meeting.

Leaders also hope the initiative will boost Girl Scout ranks, which have declined nationally in recent years.

According to the Associated Press, 2015 membership in the 103-year-old organization was down 6.2 percent from 2014. The total membership at 2.66 million youths and adults is down more than 15 percent over three years, and down 30 percent from a peak of more than 3.8 million members in 2003.

That isn’t the case locally, though.

According to Soderstrom, Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois has 300 more members than this time last year, and is on track to reach 15,000 members by the end of the Girl Scout year, Sept. 30. Local troops also are seeing greater involvement in the Digital Cookie program. Soderstrom

said 1,600 girls in the northern Illinois chapter, which covers 16 counties, participated in the program this year, an increase of 400 since last year. Local online cookie sales also have increased, with $45,000 in online cookie sales so far this year compared with $29,000 in all of 2015.

The increase may be attributed to improvements made from feedback received in 2015. Earlier this year, “Digital Cookie 2.0” launched after extensive surveys of parents and scouts addressed some needed improvements to the original program. The updated platform features an enhanced cookie website and new mobile sales technology that allows Girl Scouts to take orders from a tablet or smartphone and have cookies deliv-

ered directly to customers. The website is more hands-on and interactive, with quizzes, educational videos and real-time goal tracking. But the intent remains the same: To encourage girls to embrace a new method of developing their business skills while having fun in the process, Soderstrom said.

Digital Cookie does not seek to replace the traditional method of cookie sales, going door to door with paper order forms, Soderstrom said. Instead, it serves as another channel for Girl Scouts to achieve their cookie sales goals while designing their own web pages, capturing their best sales pitches in short video clips and sharing with visitors their plans for the proceeds of successful campaigns. Girls also can devise business plans and track

their progress with colorful charts.

“We are not stepping away from tradition at all,” Soderstrom said. “We encourage in-person communication no matter what. But Digital Cookie lets the girls learn in a safe space that online presence and how you present yourself matters.”

Safety is a major consideration of Digital Cookie. Webpage access is by email invite only, and parents receive email alerts when changes are made to their daughters’ webpages. For girls younger than 13, parents are asked to guide the process every step of the way and talk with their daughters about examples of the core skills cookie selling seeks to impart.

“Digital Cookie is teaching the girls

life skills for a new age,” said Amanda Arjona, whose daughter, Millie, is in her second year in Girl Scout Troop 272 in McHenry. “It is a great opportunity for them to achieve their goals for cookie sales.”

Millie sold 91 boxes, and about 75 percent were sold online. She plans to donate half of her proceeds to Operation Cookie Drop, a Girl Scout charitable initiative that delivers Girl Scout cookies to service men and women. At 6 years old, Millie’s precocious donation makes her mom proud.

“Being a Girl Scout and participating in cookie sales have instilled a sense of maturity in her,” Arjona said. “It’s nice to see a responsibility that I’ve never seen in her before.”

For Girl Scouts of every age, the lessons learned through cookie selling are enduring and meant to be enhanced by the new online method of sales. Digital Cookie offers many perks door-to-door sales can’t, but the traditional methods of cookie sales are not forgotten. Soderstrom said Girl Scouts are encouraged to practice person-to-person interaction no matter the platform they choose.

“You can have honor and tradition as a Girl Scout, and still embrace technology and innovation,” she said. “As an organization, we want to evolve as technology evolves, and Digital Cookie gives us a seat at the table. We want the successful women of tomorrow to look back at the Girl Scout organization as their foundation.”

“You can have honor and tradition as a Girl Scout, and still embrace technology wand innovation. As an organization, we want to evolve as technology evolves, and Digital Cookie gives us a seat at the table.”
