County OKs interchange money Board votes to reimburse Marengo for proposal’s startup design costs By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board voted to reimburse Marengo for preliminary engineering for a full Interstate 90 and Route 23 interchange, over the objections of a minority questioning the

need. Board members voted Tuesday evening, 15-7, to pay $289,608 in motor fuel tax funds toward startup design costs for the proposed interchange south of town. The interchange could cost at least $60 million if it goes forward. Member Michael Rein,

R-Woodstock, was among those who questioned whether a full interchange would be the economic engine that supporters have hyped. And with a new governor attempting deep budget cuts to address the state’s budget crisis, he said, the county does not have a guarantee that either the Illi-

nois Toll Highway Authority or the Illinois Department of Transportation will be able to cover their share of the costs. “With Gov. [Bruce] Rauner cutting back a lot of things right now, we don’t know who’s going to be participating,” Rein said. But supporters, like mem-

ber Ken Koehler, R-Crystal Lake, called the project one that would help the local economy, pointing to the recently completed full interchange at I-90 and Route 47 in Huntley. “This is one of those projects that is very forward-thinking, and about the future of McHenry County,” Koehler

Schock resigns amid scrutiny

Need spring break ideas?

Questions mount over his spending

Activities for kids abound in county

ot every family can head to a sunnier clime for spring break or even find a way to get out of Dodge for a few days. So how can area parents who are planning to “staycation” during the upcoming break avoid the dreaded “b” word – boredom? We’ve got a few ideas for the coming week, when area schools will be closed. With a little creativity, you probably can come up with a few of your own, too. Several spring break camps offer organized fun throughout the week. Sage YMCA of Metro Chicago, 701 Manor Road, Crystal Lake, is hosting a camp for kindergartners through eighth-graders that starts Monday and features different themes each day, including Western day and Hawaiian day. Daily activities include swimming and games. Families don’t have to be members of the YMCA to participate, and they don’t have to attend every day, Executive Director Robyn Ostrem said. Drop-off can be as early as 6:30 a.m. and pickup can be as late as 6:30 p.m., she said. Campers should pack a lunch or they can buy one from the center’s Tropical Smoothie Café. Parents are asked to register by 9 a.m. Friday. The cost is $40 a day for members and $55 for nonmembers. The full week is $180 for members and $210 for nonmembers. The YMCA also plans an Egg-stravaganza Family Night on Friday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. It is open to all area families and features an underwater egg hunt. The cost is $5 a child and includes a snack.

WASHINGTON – Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock abruptly resigned Tuesday following a monthlong cascade of revelations about his business deals and lavish spending on everything from overseas travel to office decor in the style of “Downton Abbey.” “I do this with a heavy heart,” Schock said in a statement. He said he had given the people of his Peoria-area district his all since his election in 2008, “but the constant questions over the last six weeks Aaron Schock have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself.” Schock, 33, a young, media-savvy Republican, had drawn attention for his physical fitness and fundraising prowess. But more recently he has come under scrutiny for extravagant spending, payments to donors for flights on private jets and improperly categorized expenses. The questions raised have included Associated Press investigations of his real estate transactions, air travel and Instagram use. On Monday, the AP confirmed that the Office of Congressional Ethics had reached out to Schock’s associates as it apparently began an investigation. In a statement, House Speaker John Boehner said: “With this decision, Rep. Schock has put the best interests of his constituents and the House first. I appreciate Aaron’s years of service, and I wish him well in the future.” Schock did not inform any House leaders before making his decision, and the announcement took Republicans by surprise. Although the questions around his

Restaurant’s efforts promote Dignified Dining Sometimes when we set out to accomplish a worthwhile goal, we get excited and set the bar a little too high. When we look back, though, we realize that even though we have fallen short, what we have done is pretty amazing. That’s the case with the owners of Tropical Smoothie Café in Huntley. In 2014, Mike and Terry Ward, of Union, planned to donate 100 percent of the profits of their franchise restaurant at 12162 S. Route 47 to feed the hungry through the Grafton Food Pantry. Because turning a restaurant into a nonprofit organization is not easy, the Wards decided to create a nonprofit foundation, Dignified Dining, as a way to make it happen. “Most people do not realize that 16 percent of our population goes hungry,” Mike Ward said. The foundation allows the Wards to convert the restaurant’s profits into vouchers that are donated to the Grafton Food Pantry. Tropical Smoothie Café, which

LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver opened in 2011 and seats 36, serves healthy sandwiches, wraps and a variety of smoothies. The vouchers, which are designed to look like money, can be used for adult meals including a food item, side and a drink or smoothie; kids’ meals; and smoothies. The average meal bought at the café is $10, Mike Ward said. So the Wards are able to provide about one voucher for every two meals purchased once costs are accounted for. Last year, the Wards set a goal of donating 4,500 vouchers to the food pantry, which served 716 people in January. The Wards were able to donate 3,000 vouchers, which still is impressive. “We set an overly aggressive goal,” Mike Ward said. This year’s goal is 4,000 vouch-

ers, he said, with the hope of adding other restaurants to the Dignified Dining program. That could bring an additional 4,000 vouchers with their contributions and donations from the public. Beyond the voucher program, the Wards continue to display an admirable commitment to the community. The café, whose motto is “Eat Better, Feel Better,” employs high school and local community college students as a way to help them earn spending money and acquire work skills. The Wards, like many area businesspeople, also donate to local groups and fundraising events. The Dignified Dining program just allows them to do even more. The past year, which Mike Ward described as “a lot of work but also very gratifying,” provided a few useful lessons. “It is extremely difficult to establish a nonprofit organization,” he said. “We also learned a lot about the community and just how people struggle with hunger. The hardest thing

to imagine is the number of children that do not get fed from school lunch hour to school lunch hour.” So how can you help? “Next time you go out for dinner, think about those that never enjoy a nice restaurant meal,” Mike Ward said. “Stop in at our café or any restaurant that has the Dignified Dining logo (red heart with a spoon and fork) to help the less fortunate.” Another way is to join the two volunteers who currently help out at the café, which allows for even more vouchers to be donated. To do that, call 847-669-3803, visit www.facebook. com/TSCHuntley or email Mike Ward at mward@dignifieddining.org. Or you can make a donation and learn more about the Dignified Dining program at www.dignifieddining.org.

The article stated that prosecutors “often” file court documents requesting a

According to a Northwest Herald review of court records for felony cases from 2010 to present day, prosecutors have filed 20 motions for a substitution of a judge out of a total of 149 filed. Prosecutors have only requested that certain cases be moved from Judge Graham’s call. ••• Accuracy is important to the Northwest Herald, and we want to correct mistakes promptly.

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com McHENRY – McHenry City Council members unanimously approved a roughly $4.1 million contract with FGM Architects to build the city’s new recreation center. FGM, which also handled the design process of the project, came in under projections

by about $1 million and beat most of the other bidders by only a few thousand dollars to earn the contract. City officials had estimated the long-sought recreation center at 3633 Municipal Drive could cost $5 million or more. Mayor Sue Low said she was glad to continue with FGM Architects after the group’s work on the design portion of the project, and Alderwoman Geri Condon said she was happy to see the bid come in well under budget. Alderman Victor Santi said he was happy to see years

of discussions finally become a reality. “I look forward to the groundbreaking and getting the structure up and running,” Santi said. The 18,200-square-foot facility would include free weights, aerobic machines, multipurpose rooms for rent, and rooms for fitness and dancing classes. It also would be designed to accommodate future expansions, including a gymnasium with two high school-sized

NAMI hosting discussion on suicide prevention Thursday NORTHWEST HERALD

CRYSTAL LAKE – Teenage depression and suicide prevention is the topic of The National Alliance on Mental Illness – McHenry County’s monthly support meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at 620 Dakota St. in Crystal Lake. “The meeting topic is very timely given the recent events in Crystal Lake over the past couple of weeks,” said Susan Ling, program director for NAMI – McHenry County. This month’s meeting will feature a film presentation, “Cry for Help,” that profiles the efforts of two high schools to identify teens at risk for sui-

cide, after losing four students to suicide in one year. An extended presentation featuring a panel of local mental health care providers and professionals will follow with a discussion on how to recognize when youths may be struggling with mental health issues and the supports and resources that are available in McHenry

County. “Because of the recent teenage suicides in McHenry County, the panel discussion this month will replace the usual support group time,” Ling said. The panelists will share information on resources available to those individuals who have a mental illness as well as to the people who love and care about them, including family members, friends, school staff and community members. “This will be a special meeting to share information and support for those touched by the loss of life our community has experienced and to find out what we can do about it, “ Ling said.

Russell was charged that night alongside two others, Fox River

Grove Police Chief Ron Lukasik said. Ostap Hnatyuk, 20, of Fox River Grove, and 21-yearold Jonathan Sterling, of Cary, also were charged with possession of Ron Lukasik drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana between 2.5 to 10 grams, Lukasik said. Per the police report, Lukasik said Fox River Grove police officers on foot patrol came across an unoccupied vehicle near Picnic Grove Park. A multi-colored glass smoking pipe was reportedly

visible through the window of the vehicle and the three men were later found as the officers walked toward the park. In addition to the pipe in the vehicle, police reportedly found a plastic bag with marijuana in it, as well as another pipe that police said was in Hnatyuk’s possession. “The investigation revealed that they had previously prepared the pipe and walked to the sled hill to smoke cannabis,” Lukasik said. Russell was appointed a public defender March 10 in court and is next scheduled to appear April 21 before McHenry County Judge Joel Berg, according to court documents.

Supporters: Interchange would bring business and therefore help diminish a McHenry County residential property tax burden that at least one study puts in the top 30 for all counties nationwide. “This is one of the ways that we do that,” Provenzano said. Board members rejected, 13-9, a proposed amendment by Mary McCann, R-Woodstock, to require Marengo to submit an economic viability report to determine the return on the taxpayer investment. McCann hesitantly voted in favor of approving the engineering expense after her amendment failed. Marengo has been annexing land in an effort to extend city limits to I-90 in hopes of securing a full interchange, and being able to capitalize on any development that comes as a result. A developer recently bought 255 acres of an 831-acre farm in Marengo in January for $4.7 million near the proposed interchange.

• INTERCHANGE Continued from page A1 has not turned into anything substantial. “The philosophy of, ‘Build it and they will come’ sounds very nice, but I don’t think we want to put our eggs in one basket at this time,” board member Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard, said. Joining the opposition were Riley Township Supervisor Karen Schnable and Highway Commissioner David Diamond, both of whom spoke against the proposal during public comment before the debate. They cited the rural nature of the area, its mileslong distance from Marengo’s existing infrastructure, and nearby Coon Creek, which Schnable warned floods several times a year. But supporters like Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, said the interchange would bring business and industry,

Center would move parks department out of City Hall • REC CENTER Continued from page A3 basketball courts and an elevated track as well as an outdoor aquatic center. Because of the low bid, the city also can afford features such as skylights, roller shades on the windows, LED lighting and other efficiencies. The center will be located west of the McHenry Municipal Center and south of Knox Park. The two buildings would

share an expanded parking lot, which would allow for overflow and create a campus feel. The recreation center also would house the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, moving it out of the overcrowded City Hall. The tentative timeline for contractors calls for the project to be substantially completed by Feb. 16, 2016, and fully finished by March 18, 2016. The project will be paid with money from the recreation center fund and bonds.

GOP state Sen. Darin LaHood to announce candidacy Wednesday • SCHOCK Continued from page A1 spending had begun to attract attention and raise concerns, he was not yet facing concerted public pressure from party members to step down. He is the second House Republican to give up his seat this year under unfavorable circumstances. Michael Grimm, who pleaded guilty on tax evasion charges, resigned his New York seat in early January. Gov. Bruce Rauner will have five days from the March 31 effective date of Schock’s resignation to schedule a special election, which must be held within 120 days of the vacancy. GOP state Sen. Darin LaHood, considered the front-runner to replace Schock in the heavily Repub-

lican district, will announce his candidacy Wednesday, Republican officials in Washington said. LaHood is the son of Ray LaHood, who served in Congress and later as President Barack Obama’s transportation secretary. Schock, an energetic real estate investor who catapulted from the Illinois Legislature to win a congressional seat at the age of 26, touted his status as the House’s first millennial lawmaker. He posed shirtless for Men’s Health magazine to promote fitness, and used Instagram the way older politicians rely on press releases, photo bombing his growing fan base from London to the Florida beach scene. He was an in-demand fundraising force and visited more than 40 congressional districts in the lead-up to November’s elections.

So it’s best to check with your library district to see what it has going on. Among those with events open to everyone is the Johnsburg Public Library, 3000 N. Johnsburg Road, which will show “Big Hero 6” at 2 p.m. Monday and “Penguins of Madagascar” at 2 p.m. Friday. Registration is required. The library also offers a LEGO Club for children ages 5 to 10 from 3 to 4 p.m. Saturday. The McHenry Public Library, 809 N. Front St., has a little something for everyone, including “Take Care of those Choppers!” for children at 1 p.m. Monday; “Mad Scientists with Peeps!” for tweens and children at 1 p.m. Tuesday; “Fishing 101 for the Family” at 7 p.m. Tuesday; and “Minute to Win It!” for teens and tweens at 2 p.m. Wednesday. All programs require registration. The Crystal Lake Public Library, 126 Paddock St., has a drop-in paper craft program for children ages 4 and older at 10 a.m. Monday and a dropin LEGO program for those 4 and older from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Monday. Kids in grades six

to 12 are invited to a Teen Anime Club from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. Of course, area libraries offer entertainment beyond special programming. For instance, the Crystal Lake library has, among other things, a Velcro wall, a dollhouse, computers with interactive educational games, checkers, chess, puzzles, blocks, a puppet theater and a train table, said Linda Price, the library’s public relations coordinator. Some libraries, such as those in Woodstock and Johnsburg, have activity packs that can be checked out. In Johnsburg, there’s even a home-school resource center that has games, telescopes and microscopes that can be checked out, Library Director Maria Zawacki said. Even more computer activities and games can be found online on the McHenry library’s website at www. mchenrylibrary.org, public relations manager Kathy Lambert said. Parents also can stop by MCCD’s Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake, to check out

seasonal hiker packs; map and compass packs; and Illinois Department of Natural Resources trunks that cover topics including mammals, birds and creepy crawlies, as well as geology and astronomy. There are even binoculars that can be borrowed while parents and kids stroll along the trails, MCCD communications manager Wendy Kummerer said. Also at the center is a family “Exploration Station,” which features hands-on activities. And we haven’t even mentioned sports facilities, such as the Woodstock Recreation Center, which offers racquetball and swimming among its activities. The Woodstock facility’s daily rate for children ages 4 to 17 is $4. They must have a signed waiver from a parent or guardian. Those 18 and older pay $8. For information, visit www.woodstockrecreationdepartment.com. With all that the area has to offer during spring break, parents just might be able to hear a different “b” word – “blast.” As in, the kids are having one.

SPONSORED BY

Improvisational acting, or improv as it is more commonly referred to, started a long time ago. I don’t mean twenty, or even one hundred, years ago. Try 2,400 years ago. The earliest documentation of improv took place in a Roman theatre in the year 391 B.C. This type of comedy first established unscripted shows around a set of funny archetypal clowns. These stock characters would grow into the classical Commedia dell’arte characters (such as Pulcinella, Harlequin, and Pantalone) and would soon change the face of comedic theatre throughout the following centuries. And they all came out of a tradition of improvised comedy. As time went on, this form of dramatic improvisational acting became a way for budding theatre groups to move

away from traditional scripted shows. In the 1950s and 60s, The Second City program based in Chicago was formed by a desire for the actors of University of Chicago theatre to do something new. This “something new” was unscripted drama, or improvisational drama, and was largely based on the old Commedia traditions. In addition to creating the Second City in Chicago, many actors who began in Chicago moved to New York and joined and created Saturday Night Live. Some examples of notable names that grew out of this improvisational background are Mike Myers, Tina Fey, John Belushi, and Steve Carell. Improv continues to flourish all around the world, but Chicago, in many ways, still acts as an epicenter. You can still see the old traditions carried on, in a new way, when Williams Street Repertory Improv performs in Crystal Lake every third Thursday night.

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer! HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inﬂammatory drug prescriptions. Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint. Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)? Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS? The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown. Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older (wear and tear) • Joint injury • Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/ imbalance problems) • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities, including sports, work and leisure activities

✔ Do you wake up with knee pain? ✔ Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? ✔ Have you been told you need a knee replacement? ✔ Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? ✔ Do you take medications for knee pain? ✔ Do you have difﬁculty going up and down stairs due to knee pain? ✔ Are you considering surgery to alleviate knee pain? ✔ Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain with out success? If you answered yes to at least 4 of these questions, you are ready to experience the relief and healing found at Superior Health & Wellness.

Start living your life

PAIN FREE!

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness! – Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately. THANK YOU for helping me.” – Joann F.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN? After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option. Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else. Superior Health and Wellness

Speaking up can save a life The message seems simple. Speak up. Two words that are easier to say than, perhaps, act on. That’s the message, however, when it comes suicide, especially among youth. We’ve seen too many young people commit suicide in McHenry County recently. One is too many. Unfortunately, more than one suicide has been committed this month alone. In 2014, five of the 33 counted suicides For the record were by youths ages 15 to 24, acIf a friend confides in you cording to data about these kinds of feelings, from McHenry you need to speak up. Not doCounty Coroner ing so can lead to tragedy and Anne Majewthe loss of a young, promising ski. There also life. were five youth suicides in 2013, out of a total of 31 suicides, and seven out of 40 in 2012. It needs to stop. Speak up. “If a peer has that information about one of their friends, by all means they should do whatever they can to make sure they’re having a conversation with that friend, and say, ‘We should go talk to someone together,’ ” said Dr. Paul Berkowitz, director of behavioral health services at Centegra Health System. “They should promote communication to a counselor, parent or teacher so the person can get the support they need.” Being a teenager is hard. School can be challenging. Social circles can be changing. Parents can be annoying. Your body and mental health can be evolving. “Mood disorders can start to develop around the late teenage years, so we do see an upsurge in mood disorders around that time, particularly depression or bipolar disorder,” Berkowitz said. “Suicidal thoughts can be a component of those conditions.” Speak up. If a friend confides in you about these kinds of feelings, you need to speak up. Not doing so can lead to tragedy and the loss of a young, promising life. Parents need to be more aware of what their children are saying online. There might be clues. There might be signs. Speak up. The community is coming together Wednesday night to speak up at a suicide prevention forum, which is being planned by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. It starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Luecht Conference Center at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake. The forum is designed to provide information about resources available in McHenry County, the warning signs of at-risk people, the importance of communication and ways of getting help. Participating agencies include McHenry County Crisis Line, McHenry County Suicide Task Force, youth and parents from “Your Voice” of the McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition, Pioneer Center, NAMI McHenry County, McHenry County Mental Health Board and representatives from local law enforcement. Anyone feeling upset or depressed is strongly encouraged to call the local crisis line at 800-892-8900; local law enforcement by dialing 911; or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. More local support available to residents can be found at www.mchenry-crisis. org. Centegra Clinical Manager of Crisis Services Despina McBride-Spencer stressed the importance of seeking help right away if you suspect a change in behavior. Of course, that can be a daunting task for friends who swore confidence or don’t want to overreact. “Peers can also contact the 24-hour [McHenry County Crisis Line] if they’re concerned for a friend,” McBride-Spencer said. “It’s less intimidating ... and it seems more acceptable.” Speak up.

Saving Hoosier State line If there’s any glimmer of hope of saving the Hoosier State passenger rail service from Indianapolis to Chicago, it’s the growing list of players on board in condemning a Federal Railroad Administration ruling that sent the most recent contract negotiations into a skid. Service will end April 30 for the four-daya-week service if the Indiana Department of Transportation can’t close a deal that would have Amtrak crews operating Iowa Pacific Holdings rolling stock. The Federal Railroad Administration really gummed up the works in a new way, telling INDOT that it had to operate as a railroad if it entered this new public-private partnership. In a letter dated March 6, Karl Browning, INDOT commissioner, said there was no way. He said the state couldn’t afford the liability. The Hoosier State’s contract was due to end April 1, but on Friday, Browning allowed one more month in hopes that the Federal Railroad Administration would reconsider.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Approving of Obama To the Editor: It’s time for me to say it. President Obama has done a great job. Under his leadership, he has helped a failing auto industry recover, and all of the industries and millions of jobs affiliated with it. He has implemented various policies and programs to turn a decaying economy around and restore jobs. Under his leadership, we got Osama bin Laden. Our servicemen and women are no longer fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Other countries are now joining in the global fight against ISIS and other terror groups. We are far from finished in this fight, but I think we’re going to be successful in the long run by following the approach we are taking. He took on the volatile, emotional task of improving our health care. Presidents before him promised to do this; none had the fortitude and drive to see it through. Despite the extreme opposition, he got the job done. More accomplishments? Google sites offering facts, not rhetoric. He’s done this in spite of the most extreme political opposition I can recall anyone in my lifetime

having – from the ridiculousness that comes from outlets such as Fox News to the lemming-like negativity from the “No Party” (aka the Republican Party). We have some very good Republican leaders in our local community, but, on a national level, they’re borderline unpatriotic in their words and methods. I will have a hard time supporting any candidates on the national ticket based on their uncompromising lockstep approach to governing. Mark Breen Cary

Didn’t need a union To the Editor: I don’t understand union members who use the phrase “right to work for less.” Why do people think a union forcibly taking money from their paychecks is helpful to them? I succeeded by working hard, continually learning new skills and making myself valuable to my employer. No one cared about my career as much as I did, so I wanted to have total control over negotiating my responsibilities, my pay and my bonuses. I didn’t want others who were mediocre to benefit from

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

Spring Grove. However, Anhalt and Kopke have demonstrated these same characteristics for years and have the experience of successfully doing a good job. They should be rewarded with another term where their experience will be sorely needed in more challenging economic times for municipalities in the state of Illinois. You wouldn’t replace an experienced medical provider, other professional or even a hairdresser that was performing well with someone else for the sole reasons that they claim to have similar characteristics and want the job. You shouldn’t do it with village trustees either. Vote for Jim Anhalt and Ron Kopke. George Keim Spring Grove

The power of forgiveness involves love Turn on the news, and you expect to see people of different races and politics denouncing each other. That’s why what happened last week on “The Kelly File,” Megyn Kelly’s Fox News program, was so remarkable. After the expulsion of Parker Rice and Levi Pettit, two Sigma Alpha Epsilon members at the University of Oklahoma, upon the video release of a racist sing-along they led, Isaac Hill, the president of the university’s Black Student Association, told Kelly the students should be forgiven. Kelly, who is normally in complete control, was stunned and nearly speechless. It was not what she – or any of us – expected. Judgment, retribution, rioting, censorship, shaming, loss of job and prestige are the norm, not forgiveness, especially when the offending students, at the time, hadn’t asked for it. Hill told Kelly: “It is not smart to fight hate with hate. It is only logical to fight hate with love.” This brings to mind what Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said: “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power

VIEWS Cal Thomas to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” What would have better served the interests of OU, Rice and Pettit and the larger student body? Instead of focusing on punishment and expulsion, shutting down the fraternity house and evicting all its residents, the goal should have been redemption. Redemption is a harder road to travel, but the destination should be to change the students’ thinking, not bludgeon them into silence where any racist thoughts might fester and grow worse. How to accomplish this? In today’s world of instant communication, which is different from conversation, we know our fellow Americans by categories. We are all parts of groups, often pitted against each other. The integrity of the individual has been gobbled

up by groupthink. If you are African-American, for example, you are supposed to be liberal, angry at white people and vote only for Democrats. Those who stray from this ideological and political plantation are to be denounced and expelled. What should have happened at the University of Oklahoma and at other universities that are now uncovering similar racist incidents by white students is to require them to get to know people of different races. White students should be mandated, as a condition of their continued enrollment, to spend time with students of other races. Dine with them, take in a basketball game with them, meet their parents and listen as they tell their stories. Everyone has a story, but too many of us are unwilling to listen. Listening to another person’s story humanizes them and fosters equality far more than any civil rights legislation, or attempts to control speech. Many people have said while they regard Congress as corrupt, they like their congressman because they know him or her. That’s the point. Knowing someone removes, or at least diminishes,

any stigma we might have previously associated with a person. In her book, “The Power of Forgiveness: Why Revenge Doesn’t Work,” Dr. Judith Orloff wrote: “Revenge reduces you to your worst self, puts you on the same level with those spiteful people we claim to abhor.” Hill told Kelly he hopes the racist comments can be used as a chance to learn and grow. Offered several opportunities by Kelly to criticize the white students, Hill declined. “Those behaviors are taught,” he said. “We are all born innocent people.” In the musical “South Pacific,” librettist Oscar Hammerstein II wrote: “You’ve got to be taught to hate.” One also can be taught to love. Again, Dr. King said it best: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” • Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

STATE BRIEFS Ill. Supreme Court invites gov. to observe arguments SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme court is holding a special evening session of oral arguments to give Gov. Bruce Rauner and state lawmakers a chance to see the justices in action. The case being examined at the 6:30 p.m. session in Springfield involves an amendment to the Illinois Juvenile Court Act. The amendment, passed by the Legislature, allowed 18-yearolds to be tried in juvenile court. Chief Justice Rita Garman said the session is an opportunity for lawmakers and state leaders to observe firsthand the interaction of the three branches of government and the operations of checks and balances in the system. Court officials said they believe the last time an evening session was held at the Illinois Supreme Court building in Springfield was more than a century ago.

Officials search river for signs of suspect in death ROCKFORD – Police and firefighters were using a sonar boat to search the Rock River in northern Illinois for any signs of a suspected killer. Forty-six-year-old Michael E. Spraggins is a suspect in the killing of a 41-year-old Rockford woman in January. Rachael Ross-Golden was killed by a single gunshot to the head at an apartment in Belvidere in what police believe was an act of domestic violence. Belvidere Deputy Chief Mark Pollock said police received a tip that a man may have jumped into the Rock River on Jan. 2, the same day as the killing. Pollock said the investigation indicates it could have been Spraggins. The Rockford Register Star reported the search of the river began Monday.

Family: Woman suspected in murder plot disabled ROCKFORD – The parents of a Rockford woman accused of trying to hire a hit man say their daughter is developmentally disabled and doesn’t grasp the consequences of her actions. Thirty-three-year-old Anne Barradas-Ferral was arrested last week on a charge of solicitation of murder for hire. She’s being held on $1 million bond. Her parents, Katy and Steve Swenson, told the Rockford Register Star that her mental development is equivalent to that of an 8 year old. They said she would be better served with continuing mental health care, not imprisonment. Katy Swenson said the intended victim is a woman whom her daughter perceived as a romantic rival. The Swenson’s attorney, Rene Hernandez, said a detective posing as a hit man responded to a message the woman posted online.

Bill would increase clinic inspections Officials say abortion providers in Illinois reviewed every 3 or 4 years, insist it’s enough The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Some Illinois lawmakers are seeking to require annual inspections for all the state’s abortion clinics, more than three years after officials took steps to reinforce the system following a report by The Associated Press that some facilities had gone 15 years without an inspection. The six Republicans and one Democrat who have introduced a bill requiring the annual inspections say it would keep women safer, but critics allege it is a veiled effort to restrict women’s access to the procedure. State officials say they now carry out inspections of most clinics every

three or four years, which they insist is enough. In February, the Republican-led Missouri House passed a similar bill, which would require an annual check of surgical centers that perform a certain number or type of abortions. But the chances of passage appear slimmer in Illinois, where Democrats control both chambers of the Legislature and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has said he wants to steer clear of social issues while focusing on the state budget crisis. Rikeesha Phelon, a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, said her office is not currently monitoring the bill.

Abortion rights advocates say the measure being pushed in the General Assembly would make it more difficult for smaller clinics to continue operations, possibly even forcing some to shut down, as has happened in other states. They say annual inspections would be a burden on clinics that are already licensed. “The point of the bill is to not shut down any clinics,” said Emily Zender, executive director of Illinois Right to Life Committee, a nonprofit anti-abortion organization that helped craft the bill. The point, she said, is to have regular inspections that “ensure the health and safety of the women” who use the clinics. In addition to requiring an-

nual inspections, the measure seeks to expand the number of clinics subject to them. Currently, the state regulates two types: “pregnancy termination specialty centers,” which are limited to first-trimester abortions, and ambulatory surgical treatment centers, which do a number of other procedures. The bill would add a third type, those operated by groups like Planned Parenthood, which are not licensed or inspected by the state, but rather treated like doctor’s offices. The bill is sponsored by six Republicans, including the chief sponsor, Rep. Sheri Jesiel of Winthrop Harbor, and one Democrat, Rep. Jerry Costello of Smithton.

Regulators began checking more frequently after 2010, following a scandal in which authorities in Philadelphia shut down a “house of horrors” abortion clinic where late-term abortions were performed by untrained staff. The lead clinic doctor was convicted of murder stemming from abortions where newborns had their spinal cords severed with scissors after being born alive. A review by The Associated Press later found some Illinois facilities had gone up to 15 years without an inspection until then. Two Illinois clinics closed because of health code violations when the inspections were stepped it.

Jobless rates fell across Illinois in January CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Employment Security says unemployment dropped in January in each of the 14 metro areas the agency tracks in its monthly report. The department said Tuesday the biggest improvements came in Danville, Decatur and Rockford. All three historically manufacturing-dependent areas were struggling a year earlier with double-digit unemployment and all three saw drops of more than 3 percentage points. Unemployment in the Chicago area fell 2 percentage points to 6.8 percent. The Bloomington area had the state’s lowest unemployment at 5.4 percent. That was down from 6.7 percent in January 2014. The department said last week the statewide jobless rate continued to fall and reached 6.1 percent in January.

Camden Mayor Dana Redd (center) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie greet people at a gathering Sept. 9 in Camden, N.J. Under Christie, New Jersey has paid more than $2 billion in state tax breaks since 2014, often to corporations with notable political connections and at least one developer who already owed millions of dollars in unpaid state loans, an Associated Press review found.

Gov. Christie’s tax breaks reward political insiders By JEFF HORWITZ and GEOFF MULVIHILL The Associated Press CAMDEN, N.J. – Under Republican Gov. Chris Christie, New Jersey has authorized more than $2 billion in economic development tax breaks since 2014, often to corporations with notable political connections. One grant went to a developer who owes millions of dollars on an unpaid state loan, an Associated Press review found. That total of tax breaks handed out by New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority is more than the amount issued during the decade before Christie took office. The aid has gone disproportionately to businesses in Camden, a beleaguered city of 77,000. Development projects in the city received $630 million in future tax breaks last year. In his January state of the state address, Christie said the money in future tax breaks awarded to Camden development projects means the city is “seeing a new tomorrow.” As Christie considers a Republican presidential campaign, a Camden renaissance would offer a useful counterpoint to New Jersey’s lackluster economic performance. But a closer look at the grants – which will amount to nearly four times Camden’s annual budget – indicates they may do less for the city than advertised and more for Christie’s political alliances. Most of the jobs coming to Camden are filled by existing employees who currently work just a few miles away. One tax break exceeded the value of the company that received it. And nearly all the recipients boast notable political connections. The Christie Administration’s Camden incentives raise questions about the

governor’s stewardship of New Jersey’s finances – and whether Christie’s claims of revitalizing Camden will resonate with Republican voters opposed to corporate welfare. “Giving huge subsidies to companies moving from the suburbs of Camden to the city is just off-the-charts crazy territory,” said Michael Doherty, a Republican state senator. “If you’re a high-profile individual, you can get the EDA to make decisions to your benefit.” Christie spokesman Kevin Roberts said in an email that critics of the tax breaks “offer no alt e r n a t i v e George plans for cre- Norcross ating jobs, growing the economy or renewing our urban centers.” Driving the four miles from Subaru’s U.S. headquarters in Cherry Hill to its new home in nearby Camden takes eight minutes. Making that trip will be worth nearly $118 million in tax breaks for Subaru. Subaru’s local relocation is not an exception: Most of New Jersey’s Camden incentives have gone to projects that will simply transfer existing local employees to Camden, something economists say is unlikely to add to the regional economy. Many of the tax breaks involve projects connected to Democrat George Norcross, a southern New Jersey Democratic powerbroker whose tacit support for Christie is widely viewed as vital to his 2009 victory over then-Gov. Jon Corzine. Norcross is on the board of Holtec, a nuclear equipment manufacturer that will receive $260 million. He also sits on the board of Cooper Hospi-

tal, which received a $40 million grant and is the indirect beneficiary of two more. In recent years, Cooper has paid a combined $3 million to Norcross’s insurance brokerage and a law firm owned by Norcross’s brother, Philip, who also represented the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team in its successful pursuit of $82 million in tax credits. Dan Fee, a spokesman for Norcross, said in an email that Norcross’s only goal was Camden’s revitalization. Economic Development Authority President Tim Lizura said his agency, not Norcross, decides what deals get made. “Each approval stands on its own merits,” said Lizura. The scale of New Jersey’s generosity has bolstered one profitable new industry: the resale of tax incentives by businesses that don’t make enough money to use them. That camp includes both the 76ers and a company called DioGenix, which received a $7.9 million tax incentive last year to relocate to Camden. Two months later, DioGenix sold itself for between $8 and $10.9 million – to a buyer who expects to resell the tax breaks for at least $6 million. As money has flowed to development in Camden, some trickled back into politics. Camden tax incentive recipients donated more than $150,000 to the Republican Governors Association during the time Christie ran it. But no donations are as notable as those from Pennsylvania developer Israel Roizman. Last February, the state awarded tax incentives worth $13.4 million to Broadway Associates 2010 LLC, a real estate development company he controls. The project in question: refurbishing 175 low-income housing units that deteriorated under two decades of Roizman’s ownership.

BALI, Indonesia – An American woman standing trial in Indonesia on a charge of murdering her mother gave birth to a girl Tuesday at a hospital on the resort island of Bali. Heather Mack was admitted to Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar about 1 p.m. and gave birth about six hours later, Kerobokan prison chief Sudjonggo said. One of her attorneys, Anthony Scifo, said Mack gave birth by cesarean and that she and the baby, named Stella, are healthy. Mack, 19, and her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, 21, are being tried on charges of murdering Sheila von Wiese-Mack whose body was found in a suitcase on a taxi at a hotel last August. They face possible death by firing squad if found guilty. According to Sudjonggo, who like many Indonesians uses a single name, prison rules would allow Mack to keep her baby with her at the prison until she is 2 years old. Mack has said she wants the baby to stay in Bali so she can visit her while in jail.

The hearings for the separate trials will be rescheduled pending Mack’s condition, said Hasoloan Sianturi, spokesman of the Denpasar District Court. Their trials are to resume March 24, when prosecutors would submit their sentencing demands. Schaefer testified at Mack’s trial last week that he got angry at von Wiese-Mack because she used a racial slur against him and threatened the unborn baby. He also said the victim strangled him briefly and he struck her with a metal fruit bowl but didn’t remember how many times. Mack testified that they panicked afterward and that she did not want her mother dead. According to the indictment, Schaefer battered von Wiese-Mack following an argument over the hotel bill and Mack helped stuff her mother’s body into the suitcase by sitting on it to enable Schaefer to close it. Prosecutors said Mack had suggested to Schaefer while they were in America that he hire someone for $50,000 to kill her mother.

Learn your risk for colorectal cancer, schedule a screening SPONSORED BY

ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD

Colorectal cancer is cancer of the colon or rectum. Excluding skin cancers, colon cancer is the third-most diagnosed cancer in men and women in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year approximately 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 50,000 people die from the disease. However, this disease is highly preventable, by getting screened beginning at age 50. Screening tests help prevent colorectal cancer by finding precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) that develop in the inner wall of the large intestine. It is possible not to know these polyps or colorectal cancer exist as they do not always cause symptoms especially in early stages. A screening finds this cancer early, which is when treatment can be most effective. The follow-

ing screening schedules and tests are recommended for those 50 or older: • Annually—Have a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) • Annually—Have a Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) • Every 5 years—Have a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy (FS) • Every 10 years—Have a colonoscopy To recognize Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March, Centegra Health System and the Get Checked! Program offer free FOBT kits to the community. These kits help clinicians detect small amounts of blood in the stool as a way to screen for colorectal cancers. The Get Checked! Program is offered through a partnership between the Centegra Health System Foundation and the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation.

The free test kits will be available beginning March 9 until March 20. For locations or more information about colon cancer, visit centegra.org/ oncology or call 815-759-4454.

Iranians express optimism over nuclear agreement The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party supporters react to exit poll results Tuesday at the party’s election headquarters In Tel Aviv.

In tight race, Netanyahu emerges with slight edge The ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to fend off a strong challenge from the country’s opposition leader in parliamentary elections Tuesday, emerging from an acrimonious campaign in a slightly better position to form Israel’s next government. But with the sides nearly evenly divided, a victory by Netanyahu’s Likud Party still was not guaranteed. His chief rival, Isaac Herzog of the Zionist Union, said he would make “every effort” to form a government, and an upstart centrist party led by a former Netanyahu ally-turned-rival was set to be the kingmaker. The country now heads into what could be weeks of negotiations over the makeup of the next coalition. Both Netanyahu and Herzog will now compete for a chance to form a coalition

that commands a majority in the 120-seat parliament, a daunting task in Israel’s fractured political landscape. Netanyahu appeared to have a better chance of cobbling together a government with right-wing and religious parties that he calls his “natural allies.” Herzog would have to appeal to more ideologically diverse parties. Either will likely need the support of Moshe Kahlon, whose new Kulanu party captured nine or 10 seats, according to polls. Kahlon, whose campaign focused almost entirely on bread-and-butter economic issues, refused to take sides. “I am loyal to my way,” he told his supporters, saying he would work to form a government committed to social justice. The election was widely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu, who has governed the country for the past six years, and recent opinion polls had

given Herzog a slight lead. As the results were announced on the nation’s three major TV stations, celebrations erupted at Likud’s campaign headquarters in Tel Aviv. “Against all the odds we obtained a great victory for the Likud,” Netanyahu said. “Now we must form a strong and stable government that will ensure Israel’s security and welfare,” he added, in comments aimed at Kahlon. He said he had already been in touch with all other nationalist parties in hopes of quickly forming a coalition. Netanyahu focused his campaign on security issues, while his opponents instead pledged to address the country’s high cost of living and accused the leader of being out of touch with everyday people. Herzog also promised to repair tattered ties with the U.S. and to revive peace efforts with the Palestinians.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland – A senior Iranian official suggested Tuesday that Iran is nearing a preliminary deal with the U.S. and five world powers that would lead to a breakthrough eluding them for more than a decade – a formal pact limiting Tehran’s ability to make an atomic weapon while easing punitive economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic. The United States was less upbeat, with officials saying the sides had made progress but still had a ways to go in eliminating differences over what Iran had to do for a gradual end to sanctions. “There’s no doubt they have made substantial progress over the past year,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “Reaching an agreement is at best 50-50.” The sides face two deadlines: an end-of-March date for a preliminary deal, and a June deadline for a comprehensive agreement that fills in the blanks. A comprehensive agreement that the U.S. says would stretch the time Iran would need to make a bomb from a few months to a year has been a top foreign policy objective of the Obama administration. Even a deal by deadline will not end the Iran nuclear controversy, however. Congressional Republicans have threatened to upend it, claiming it is ineffective, and it is expected to further cloud relations between the United States and Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forms the next government, either through elections on Tuesday or as the head of a new ruling

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (center) walks outside the hotel during a break after a bilateral meeting Tuesday with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for a new round of nuclear talks in Lausanne, Switzerland. coalition. Officials for both sides have said the talks are making headway on limiting Iranian nuclear activities that could be retooled to make weapons. In exchange, the West would progressively lift economic and political sanctions. Still, the comments by Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akhbar Salehi were among the most promising to date. Only one “final item” remained contentious, he told reporters in the garden of the luxury hotel in Lausanne where the talks are being held. He didn’t specify the “final item.” If that is resolved, “We can say that on technical issues, things are clear on both sides,” he told reporters. “As a whole, I am optimistic.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif have taken the lead in what formally remain talks between Iran on one side and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and

Germany on the other. Most of the disputes focus on technical issues like the numbers of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to operate as part of a deal. The machines can enrich uranium up to levels used for the fissile core of nuclear arms, but Iran says it only has energy, medical and scientific aims. Salehi and U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz joined the talks last month to try and iron out the technical differences. But even if the final-stretch talks turn into a deal, outside interference could hurt chances of its implementation. A letter last week by Republican senators to the Iranian leadership warning that Congress could upend any deal continues to cast a shadow over the negotiating table. Another senior American official said the issue came up at Monday’s Kerry-Zarif meeting as well as a Sunday gathering among senior U.S. and Iranian negotiators.

GOP proposes $3.8T budget that boosts defense By DAVID ESPO and ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Republicans launched a boldly conservative 10-year budget plan on Tuesday that would favor the Pentagon, partially privatize Medicare and rely on deep cuts in other social programs to help wipe out deficits at the end of a decade. A little more than four

months after winning their largest majority in 70 years, Republicans promised an overhaul of the federal tax code and called for repeal of two of the top legislative achievements of President Barack Obama’s tenure in office. Those are the health care law known by his name and a measure enacted to crack down on Wall Street after the economy’s near-collapse in 2008. Republicans said their balanced-budget promise

came with no tax increases, though the fine print assumes the expiration of about $900 billion in breaks for business research and development and other items. “The new normal of slow economic growth and low expectations is unacceptable. We know we can do better,” the House Budget Committee, chaired by Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, said in a report accompanying the proposal.

GOP says Obama aides had meddled in ‘net neutrality’ By ANNE FLAHERTY The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congressional Republicans on Tuesday accused the Federal Communications Commission of bowing to White House pressure on its “net neutrality” decision, which has angered the nation’s cable and wireless giants. They said the agency’s inspector general has opened an investigation into whether the FCC had violated any rules. Samples of 1,600 pages of emails and other documents Jason released by the Chaffetz House Oversight and Government Reform Committee – while falling short of any blatant impropriety – raise questions about whether senior Obama aides went to unusual lengths to engage independent regulators on a popular issue, and if the FCC gave these aides too much access to internal deliberations while shutting out Congress. “A president should be able to weigh in, make his opinions known. I don’t have a problem

with that. But this seems to be very one-sided,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Still, the political sparring on Capitol Hill was unlikely to affect the recent decision by the FCC to impose tough new regulations on Internet service providers. Chaffetz said he had been told that the FCC Inspector General’s office launched an investigation into the agency’s deliberations process on its net neutrality decision. FCC Chairman Tom Tom Wheeler Wheeler said he was not aware of any investigation, but said he would cooperate. Jay Keithley, assistant IG for investigations at the FCC, said he could neither “confirm nor deny” any ongoing investigations. An openly defiant Wheeler told the House committee that keeping the White House up to date on FCC dealings isn’t unusual and that he won’t apologize for what he considers a transparent deliberations process.

“There were no secret instructions from the White House,” Wheeler told the committee. “I did not, as CEO of an independent agency, feel obligated to follow the president’s recommendation.” Much of the focus was on behind-the-scenes talks last year among lobbyists, agency staffers and White House aides as Wheeler struggled with how exactly to regulate Internet service. A court had knocked down the FCC’s previous legal approach, which had prohibited cable and wireless companies from blocking or slowing Internet traffic. The idea is known as net neutrality because it suggests Internet service providers shouldn’t discriminate against various web traffic. On one hand were Internet activists who wanted regulators to treat the Internet much like the telephone, applying Title II of the 1934 Communications Act. This would require that companies act in the public’s best interest and not employ unfair business practices. Industry officials warned this approach would be much too drastic and could freeze infrastructure investments.

It promised “greater prosperity, opportunity, security and freedom” if enacted. Projected spending for the budget year that begins on Oct. 1 was $3.8 trillion, rising to $5 trillion in 2025. Obama countered Republican claims instantly. He said the GOP prescription “is a failure to invest in education, infrastructure and national defense – all the things we need to grow, to create jobs, to stay

at the forefront of innovation and to keep our country safe.” The president’s own budget calls for about $2 trillion over 10 years in higher taxes on corporations, wealthy individuals and smokers of all income levels as part of a plan to increase spending and give tax breaks to the middle class. Rhetoric aside, the release of the tax and spending plan in the House begins a rite of spring as reliable as the ap-

pearance of daffodil shoots on the Capitol grounds. Senate Republicans intend to outline their own plan Wednesday, and each house is expected to ratify its own version next week. After that comes the challenge of forging a compromise between the two versions, a task Republicans acknowledge will mark a test of their ability to govern now that they control both houses of Congress.

The blue wheel in the white strip of the flag of India is called Ashoka Chakra. It has 24 spokes and represents the eternal wheel of law.

In India, many people welcome guests to their homes with a rangoli. This is a colorful design made on the floor in front of the door. These designs are found all across India. Fill in the missing vowels below to reveal what the colors of India’s flag symbolize.

A rangoli is symmetrical. That means if you drew a line down the middle, the design is the same on each side. To draw a rangoli, it helps to use graph paper. 1. On a piece of paper draw two crossed lines in the center of the paper, dividing the paper into four equal parts.

2. Start your drawing on one of the lines, and only draw it on one half of the paper. Keep your design small and simple.

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR

Marengo’s Wright happy he took job By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Nate Wright initially hesitated about the job opportunity staring him in the face in June. Wright’s career plan called for leaving teaching for an administrative position, which also would have brought an end to his coaching career. Wright has a Type 75 (an advanced administrative certificate) and had interviewed at various schools. Marengo coach Will Benson has just accepted coaching and teaching positions at Huntley, which meant the Indians’ boys basketball coaching position was open. Wright, an assistant in the program for seven years, could become head coach with a resurgent team coming off a 20-win season. Just after the spring semester finished, Wright made his decision. “I told [athletic director] Chad [Olson] I was going to commit myself to this for the time being,” Wright said. “This was my next step. I felt I was ready to step in and continue the journey of trying to get basketball back on track at Marengo.” Basketball definitely is back on track. Wright followed Benson’s 20-win season by leading the Indians to a 27-6 mark, tying for the second-most wins in school history, and their first regional championship in 15 years. Because of Marengo’s success, Wright is the Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Coach of the Year, selected by the sports staff with input from area coaches. Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card, who led his team to the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division title, also received strong support. Wright jumped right in before he even officially was hired, taking care of summer games while the interviewing process was going on. For a team with its third coach in as many years, it was a smooth transition. “To have a coach that we knew and not have a whole brand new system put in place for the first time in three years was nice,” senior guard Weston Shepard said. “Because you knew what to expect and didn’t have to change your whole mindset, change the offense, change the

defense, it’s pretty consistent with what we had been doing in the past.” Senior forward Hunter Simonini said the players figured, especially that late in the summer, Wright would get the job. “He did an amazing job stepping in,” Simonini said. “He came to practice every single day with a schedule and was always prepared. He kept us on track and there was never a gap when we didn’t know what was going on.” Marengo got off to a fast start and won its own E.C. Nichols Holiday Tournament with a victory over Richmond-Burton. Although R-B went on to win the Big Northern Conference East Division title, Marengo beat the Rockets three times. The Indians rode their 3-point shooting, behind state record-holder Zach Knobloch, the Northwest Herald Player of the Year, to a Class 3A regional title and the Rochelle Sectional championship game, which they lost to Rockford Lutheran. “We were just making sure the kids are prepared for the next opponent and keeping the kids consistent every single day,” said Wright, who teaches math and serves as part-time dean. “It was about putting that consistent effort forth all year. We tried to keep that going from the freshman to the varsity level.” Wright, who is 6-foot-8, played high school basketball at downstate Canton then played at NCAA Division III Knox College, where he also played golf for two years, then baseball for two years. He coached under Olson, Dave Pettit and Benson at Marengo before getting his shot. Eventually, Wright plans to get back to his original career path of administration. For now, he looks forward to coaching, especially with Knobloch, Craiton Nice and Ben and Mike Volkening coming back next season. “That other job search is on hold unless it’s the perfect position,” Wright said. “Right now, I’m committed to teaching and coaching at Marengo. I’ve always enjoyed coaching, and now I’m very glad I stepped into this role, after the year we had. This was a good group of kids to take on in my first year.”

Marengo’s Zach Knobloch is the Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year after breaking the state record for 3-pointers in a season.

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

There’s no stopping Marengo’s Knobloch By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

hots. As far as Zach Knobloch is concerned, there are never enough of them. Not that Marengo’s players consider their junior guard a ball hog. When you drain 3-point attempts at a 42.6 percent clip, your teammates want you to keep shooting. Knobloch, whether it’s practice or games, never grows weary of hoisting shots. “I could shoot all day,” said Knobloch, who regularly hits Marengo’s Homer “Bill” Barry Gymnasium before school to shoot. After the Indians disposed of Harvard, 50-32, in the Class 3A Marengo Regional on March 3, a game in which Knobloch set the Illinois record for 3-pointers in a single season, he hardly could wait for more shots. Before Knobloch left the school, he let athletic director Chad Olson know he would be back at 6 the next morning. Knobloch’s voracious shooting appetite sparked one of the greatest shooting seasons in state history, as he stretched his record to 167 3s, scored 740 points, averaged 22.4 points a game and pushed the Indians to their first regional championship in 15 years. Knobloch’s exploits made him the Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year, selected by the sports staff with input from area coaches. Jacobs’ Chrishawn Orange and Marian Central’s Adam Pischke received consideration, but Knobloch’s remarkable numbers swung the honor in his favor. Orange, Pischke, CaryGrove’s Jason Gregoire and Woodstock North’s Josh Jandron join Knobloch on the Northwest Herald All-Area first team. The second team is comprised of Jacobs’ Cameron Krutwig and Kenton Mack, Richmond-Burton’s Sam Kaufman, Hampshire’s Matt Bridges and Dundee-Crown’s Kiwaun Seals. Knobloch is the first Marengo player to take the honor since Kevin Schifferer shared Co-Player of the Year with Crystal Lake Central’s Scott Mueller in 2000. Knobloch was one of the area’s best shooters last season, averaging 14.3 points a game and hitting 79 3s, second-best in the area. The 6-footer, who often took 1,200 to 1,500 shots a day in the summer, raised his shooting to another level this season. “He made a decision not to play football and put a lot of

Prep baseball: Prairie Ridge pitcher Routzahn commits to Division I Dallas Baptist Prairie Ridge pitcher Ethan Routzahn spent a lot of time throwing baseballs in The Lone Star State with his summer visits to pitching guru Ron Wolforth’s Texas Baseball Ranch and Pitching Central. Routzahn will spend a lot more time there in the future. The Wolves’ junior right-hander committed Tuesday to play at NCAA Division I Dallas Baptist University, which won

the Missouri Valley Conference last season. Routzahn’s sophomore season was cut short with a torn ulnar collateral ligament last spring, so he could only support his teammates in the dugout on their magical run toward the Class 4A state tournament. Routzahn had Tommy John surgery April 29 and is on schedule to pitch this season. Routzahn has followed Wolforth’s

“The New Athletic Pitcher” program for several years. Wolforth’s program vows it can add velocity for any pitcher. The program utilizes core work, long toss and throwing weighted balls almost every day to develop more velocity. Routzahn was throwing 88 mph before his injury. He says his velocity has gone up since the surgery. Wolforth’s facility is in Montgom-

ery, Texas, two hours from Dallas, but Routzahn said Patriots pitching coach Wes Johnson uses a lot of Wolforth’s methods. Routzahn began throwing in late August and felt like he was close to 100 percent by December. He threw off a mound in January and feels ready for the season.

GIRLS SOCCER: JOHNSBURG 2, JACOBS 2

Jacobs rallies in 2nd half to salvage draw By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – As the Johnsburg and Jacobs girls soccer teams took the field for their first game, and really first time outside Tuesday afternoon, expectations were not high. Both coaches knew it would give them an indication of what they had and what roles players would fill. After Johnsburg got firsthalf goals from Taylor Piggott and Delaney Pruitt, the Golden Eagles fought back for two in the second half to earn a draw. “I feel like sometimes in soccer a draw feels like a win Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com for one team and a loss for the Jacobs’ Amanda Pasetes (left) other,” Johnsburg coach Rob and Johnsburg’s Kortnee Hass try Eastland said. “This one feels to head the ball during the second like a loss for us after being up half Tuesday in Algonquin.

things we haven’t gotten to so far.” Both teams have been bottled up in their respective gyms at the start of the season with the cold weather. Eastland and Jacobs coach Stephanie Schuck were happy the teams were able to play Tuesday’s game. “We’ve mostly been playing 5-on-5 in our gym, so we knew it was going to be ugly,” Eastland said. “I thought, considering that, it was a pretty good game for both sides. Both seemed to move the ball around well, and I thought we showed a lot of what we are going to do this season.” “We know we have things to work on, but today was a great opportunity for us,” Schuck said. “We played a very good team in Johnsburg, and with this being our first game, it really gave us a chance to see

what we needed to improve and what will work for us moving forward.” Pruitt’s goal right before halftime was the first of the season for the senior forward, coming off a season in which she scored 23. Johnsburg (0-0-1) had the two-goal lead heading to the halftime break, but Pruitt thought that because it was the first game of the season, and only the second time the Skyhawks have been outside this year, that things went wrong much easier than normal. “When they got the first goal, I think it was kind of a chain reaction,” Pruitt said. “Once someone did something wrong, then everyone got flustered, and I think that just comes with first-game jitters and stuff. We can learn from a game like this and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

The right fielder went 2 for 4 with a run and two RBIs, including a home run that broke a 5-all tie in the bottom of the sixth.

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com SCHAUMBURG – Tuesday’s season-opening baseball game between Schaumburg and Jacobs had all the indications that pitching would be the headline. With temps hovering around 40 degrees plus a stiff north wind, any offense in such conditions would probably be a bonus. Schaumburg and Jacobs followed the storyline perfectly, as the Saxons scored two unearned runs and hung on for a 2-1 nonconference victory at Schaumburg High School. The game originally was scheduled to be played at Jacobs, but poor field conditions moved the game to Schaumburg. In the fourth inning, Jacobs got its first hit of the season on a leadoff single by Ryan Sargent. Sargent advanced to third on an error and scored on a safety squeeze by Daniel Tenayuca. “I felt pretty confident when coach called for the bunt,” Tenayuca said. “I knew I just had to make contact and Ryan would score.” Schaumburg (1-0) took the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning by taking advantage of some Golden Eagles miscues. Two errors, a wild pitch and a hit batsman allowed Schaumburg to go ahead, 2-1. Jacobs put together a twoout rally in the seventh inning but left the tying run at second base. The Eagles finished with two hits, while Schaumburg finished with four hits. Jacobs used six pitchers and subbed in multiple players at multiple positions as they get ready for the long season ahead. “You never want to lose games, but I thought for the first game of the season we did some things well,” Jacobs coach Jamie Murray said. “We pitched real well and also had some good at-bats. This was our first day outside, so I knew hitting would be an issue. We made some mistakes, and I’m OK with the physical errors, but it’s the mental errors we need to work on. It’s a long season, and we will get better.”

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Before junior Ravan Kosmalski’s at-bat in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday, McHenry softball coach John DiFrancesca smiled and told her to “get on base any way you can.” After working a full count against Richmond-Burton’s Sophie Schwegel, Kosmalski swung and – to her own surprise – gave the Warriors the lead for good on a home run that traveled just over the fence in left center. “I saw [the pitch] was high, and I knew I had to protect the

plate, so I took a crack at it,” said Kosmalski, who broke a 5-all tie. “I thought for sure when I hit it, I popped out – 110 percent. But I ran it out and it turned out to be a home run.” The Warriors batted around and went on to score five more runs in the inning, thanks largely to two errors and multiple wild pitches, en route to an 11-5 nonconference win in the opener for both teams. “We liked the way she looked in tryouts,” DiFrancesca said of Kosmalski, who went 2 for 4 with a run and two RBIs. “She put a nice swing on it, and the ball carried out.” Sophie Migacz picked up the

win in relief for the Warriors (1-0), striking out R-B’s Nos. 1 and 2 hitters with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the sixth to keep the Rockets off the scoreboard after McHenry scored twice in the fifth. “That was definitely a big turning point,” Rockets coach Stephanie Hutchinson said. “Two strikeouts with the bases loaded. You can’t do that there.” After R-B (0-1) took the lead, 5-3, in the top of the fifth on a two-run single from Meagan Spohr and a two-out, RBI hit from Haylie Regnier, McHenry scored twice in the bottom of the inning to even the score. Koepke (2 for 4, two runs) led

off with a double before Amanda Manssen drove her in with one out. Erika Breidenbach reached on an error, followed by a 5-3 groundout. Emily Matusek, pinch-running for Manssen, drew a throw from first as she retreated to third, but the ball sailed high, allowing Matusek to get up and run. Matusek was thrown out at home, but the umpires ruled R-B obstructed her. Spohr finished 2 for 4 with a double, steal, two runs and two RBIs for R-B. Manssen and Carly Mattson had two hits for McHenry. Dana Walsh finished 2 for 3 with two doubles and a run scored.

NIT: ALABAMA 79, ILLINOIS 58

Hammel much better; Cubs defeat Royals

Alabama thumps off-target Illinois

MESA, Ariz. – Jason Hammel threw four scoreless innings, and Anthony Rizzo reached base three times Tuesday as the Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, in spring training. Hammel came in with a 10.80 ERA in his previous two outings over five innings. The right-hander allowed two hits and struck out three in his longest outing of the spring after he allowed nine hits and walked three in his previous two appearances. Rizzo was hit by a pitch and singled twice, including an RBI shot to right-center off Royals reliever Wade Davis in the fifth.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Levi Randolph had 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists to help Alabama beat Illinois, 79-58, Tuesday in the first round of the NIT. Alabama (19-14) played its first game without head coach Anthony Grant, who was fired Sunday afternoon and replaced by interim coach John Brannen. Malcolm Hill led Illinois (19-14) with 22 points and six

assists. The Fighting Illini shot 32.3 percent from the field, including 7 of 24 from beyond the arc. Alabama shot 59.6 percent from the field overall, including 8 of 15 from 3-point range. Rodney Cooper added 19 points. Alabama trailed for only 13 seconds in the game, falling behind 4-3 early in the first half. The Crimson Tide will face Miami in the second round.

Hampton not done with unlikely wins

Former Bulls player Haley dead at 51 Jack Haley, who played nine seasons in the NBA, including a reserve role on the Bulls’ 1996 championship team, has died. He was 51. Haley’s family confirmed his death, saying the cause was heart disease. He died Monday at Los Alamitos Medical Center, according to the Orange County coroner’s office website. There were no indications of foul play and an autopsy will be performed, the coroner said.

Prosperous reunion Toews, Hossa, Sharp pile up points on top line By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It didn’t take Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp long to recapture the magic. Matched up against the top line of the high-scoring New York Islanders on Tuesday night, the Blackhawks’ top trio accounted for all four goals in a thoroughly impressive 4-1 victory at the United Center. Toews had two goals and two assists, Hossa had two goals, and Sharp had two assists to provide Corey Crawford (38 saves) with all the offense he’d need, and then some. “We’ve been together here six years in one dressing room, and we’ve had lots of games together,” Hossa said. “There is a chemistry there, even when it’s [been] a while [since] they put us together.”

The Hawks, meanwhile, improved to 7-1-1 dating to the game in which Patrick Kane was injured. They kept pace with the St. Louis Blues, who moved into sole possession of first place, staying five points back with a game in hand. And they moved within four points of second-place Nashville, with three games in hand. There was only one blemish on the Hawks’ game Tuesday, but it was a big one. Andrew Shaw was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for driving his head into Brock Nelson’s while battling along the boards. The ensuing penalty kill – on which the Hawks allowed one shot – played a big role in the game, but the head-butting penalty could play a role in future ones. A source said the hit was being scrutinized by the NHL’s department of player safety, and

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Shaw could be looking at a suspension. “Not a smart penalty,” growled Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, who said that “killing a five-minute major, to me, is enough [discipline].” The Sharp-Toews-Hossa unit was arguably the top line in hockey last season, but has spent almost the entire season apart. Reunited after Sharp’s two-goal game in San Jose, the chemistry was almost instant. From their first shift, they were buzzing. Toews bounced two backhanders off Neuvirth and in – the first one from a ridiculous angle. Toews then turned Thomas Hickey inside-out to set up a Hossa one-timer in the second to make it 3-0. It was Hossa’s 20th goal, marking the 14th time in his career he’s reached that milestone. Hossa added his 21st when Sharp’s centering pass banked in off his skate.

DAYTON, Ohio – Hampton coach Edward Joyner Jr. had joked he’d need a lot of help if his team advanced to play No. 1 Kentucky. “Jesus on speed dial,” he kidded. So after Hampton extended its unlikely run, beating Manhattan, 74-64, Tuesday night in the First Four to dial up a date with the mighty Wildcats, Joyner grabbed a cellphone and pretended to make a really, really long-distance call. “Hello? Hello?” he said at a postgame news conference. Then he put down the phone, laughed, and said, “I guess he’ll get back to me.” Reginald Johnson scored 15 points and made two critical defensive plays down the stretch and Quinton Chievous added 15 points and 13 rebounds before leaving with a sprained ankle in the final minutes.

The Pirates (17-17) scored the first seven points, led by as many as 12 in the opening half and then, after Manhattan (1914) had rallied within a point, pulled away at the finish. Mississippi 94, BYU 90: At Dayton, Stefan Moody scored 26 points and led Mississippi’s comeback from a 17-point halftime deficit to a victory over BYU in the First Four. The Rebels (21-12) trailed until Moody led a 15-2 run midway through the second half. He hit a late 3-pointer that helped finish off the tournament’s first big comeback. Ole Miss goes to Jacksonville, Florida, to play sixth-seeded Xavier on Thursday in the East Region. BYU (25-10) pulled off the biggest comeback in NCAA tournament history in Dayton three years ago, rallying from a 25-point first-half deficit to a 78-72 win over Iona. This time, the Cougars couldn’t hold the big lead.

LOS ANGELES – While Christopher Plummer is famously no great fan of his role in “The Sound of Music,” he’s thrilled to participate in the film’s 50th anniversary celebration this month, which includes a special honor for the 85-year-old Oscar winner: Adding his hand and footprints to the cement collection at Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre. “I love that idea,” said Plummer, who is set to leave his prints March 27 as part of the TCM Classic Film Festival. “When I was happy enough to get the Oscar, I [thought] oh, I think I should get this too, really. But I won’t say anything. And then it happened! It’s great.”

Fashion designers Domenico Dolce (right) and Stefano Gabbana acknowledge the applause of the audience after presenting their Dolce & Gabbana men’s fall-winter 2015-16 collection during Milan Fashion Week in Milan, Italy.

Designers, Elton John hashtags do battle over gay rights MILAN – On Twitter, it’s a playing out as battle of the hashtags: #boycottdolcegabbana vs. #boycotteltonjohn. But gay rights activists say there is more at stake than Dolce&Gabbana’s brand image and bottom line. They charge that the fashion designers’ comments expressing skepticism about conceiving children through in vitro fertilization and bearing them through surrogates undermine the fight for recognition of gay and lesbian families in overwhelmingly Roman Catholic Italy. Elton John, whose two children were born through a surrogate mother, has rallied a star-studded battle call against Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the designers behind the 25-year-old label, after they endorsed traditional families with a mother and a father in an interview with the Italian magazine Panorama. The designers themselves are gay and were in a relationship for more than two decades. “For that reason, I am not convinced by what I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Uteruses for rent, semen chosen from a catalog. And then, go and explain to these children who the mother is,” Dolce was quoted by Panorama as saying. The designers issued a statement Sunday saying the comments were not meant to judge others’ choices and they recognized the legitimacy of nontraditional families, but that did little to quell the social media firestorm.

Dropkick Murphys stage impromptu Boston airport performance

Gold, cash stolen from LA home of Grammy-winning songwriter

BOSTON – Travelers at Boston’s Logan International Airport got an early taste of St. Patrick’s Day when the Dropkick Murphys staged an impromptu performance. The band, en route to Ireland for a tour, set up in international Terminal E and let it rip. WBZ-TV reported the band played a rousing rendition of its hit, “I’m Shipping up to Boston,” altering the lyrics slightly to make them “I’m Shipping up to Dublin.” Fans danced and jumped up and down inside the terminal during Monday night’s brief show. The Dropkick Murphys had played earlier in the evening at Boston’s House of Blues. They are in Ireland for a “Celtic Punk Invasion Tour.”

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles police say about $50,000 in gold and cash has been stolen from the Hollywood Hills home of a Grammy-winning songwriter and producer who has worked with Beyonce and other well-known performers. Toby Gad told KABC-TV that his wife discovered Monday that a safe in the home had been broken into. He said the neighborhood has seen a string of recent burglaries. Investigators said gold coins, cash and other undisclosed items were taken from the house, which is being renovated. Police have not named a suspect. Besides Beyonce, Gad has written and produced hit songs for Madonna and Robin Thicke. He co-wrote the multi-platinum John Legend smash “All of Me.”

Ex-3 Doors Down bassist pleads no contest to second DUI

No ordinary job seeker: Prince Harry looking for work

D’IBERVILLE, Miss. – The former bassist for 3 Doors Down pleaded no contest on Monday to a second-offense drug-related charge of driving while impaired. Todd Harrell did not appear in court in D’Iberville, Mississippi, on the Gulf Coast. An attorney entered the plea on his behalf, local media outlets reported. A no-contest plea means Harrell neither admits nor disputes the charge. It is treated as an admission of guilt for sentencing. Municipal Judge Albert Fountain sentenced Harrell to the maximum one year in prison. Fountain suspended six months of the sentence. Harrell must admit himself to a drug and alcohol facility and attend a multiple-offenders program. After rehab, he’ll have to spend six months behind bars. Fountain said Harrell has indicated that he will appeal.

LONDON – Prince Harry is looking for work – but don’t expect him to be sending out invitations to connect on LinkedIn. No one is likely to keep the fourth in line for the British throne waiting for a job interview, or to grill him about his background – even though he’s been caught smoking pot and photographed playing “strip billiards” in Las Vegas. And if it takes him a while to find the right position, the family fortune should tide him over until his first payday. Royal officials said Tuesday that the 30-year old prince will leave the armed forces in June. Kensington Palace said he will volunteer with a program that helps wounded service members “while actively considering other longer-term employment opportunities.”

Dress up a basic bowl of oatmeal with 10 ideas By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Caramel Mocha Oatmeal

Overnight Cherry-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pudding Start to finish: 10 minutes, plus chilling Servings: 2 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt 1/2 cup low-fat milk 1½ tablespoons cherry jam 2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional) 1/8 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips 1/2 cup rolled oats or oatmeal (not instant) 2 tablespoons slivered or sliced almonds, toasted

Spinach, Tomato and Feta Oatmeal

Oatmeal is the vanilla ice cream of the breakfast world. Some of us like it plain and straight up, appreciating its clean, oaty flavor, its firm yet giving texture, the way it cloyingly stays in your mouth just a second longer than you think it should. And then there is the rest of humanity, those folks who – as with vanilla ice cream – treat oatmeal as a carrier for whatever you care to pile on and mix in. This list is for those folks, the people who like to dress their breakfasts to impress – or at least to taste awesome. Start with your favorite way to prepare a bowl of oatmeal, whether it’s cooked steel-cut oats, slow-cooked extra-thick oats or a packet of instant. Jazz it up by adding any of these toppings:

Tropical

In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk and jam until smooth. Add the chia seeds, vanilla, chocolate chips and oats and mix until well blended. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. To serve, top with toasted almonds.

Stir in a handful of shredded aged Gouda cheese, then top with crumbled crisp-cooked bacon.

Bacon and Gouda Oatmeal

Spoon into an oven-safe ramekin. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top, then broil until golden and caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup finely grated carrot, 1 teaspoon orange zest and a handful of golden raisins. Top with toasted sunflower seeds.

OATS make the

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The trick to making a nutritious breakfast a daily habit is never being more than 60 seconds away from something healthy. Because in the morning rush, it’s too easy to grab something unhealthy. Lately, my go-to quick and healthy choice has been oat pudding, mostly because my kids love it. But I also like the staying power the complex carbs and fiber have to keep us feeling full. Oats or oatmeal (plain, not the flavored quickie pouches), are on just about every list of heart healthy foods, as it has a nice dose of both soluble and insoluble fibers. Oats also bring a few grams of protein to the party, while having less than a gram of sugar. Even non-instant rolled oats are really only a few minutes away from being cooked into the iconic breakfast porridge I grew up eating (at the insistence of my grandma). But sometimes 5 minutes feels about 4 minutes too long, at least at our house. And more to the point, my family doesn’t all love oatmeal as much as I learned to. Oat pudding solves these problems and more. Oat pudding is made the night before (and only takes a few minutes), and can be customized to your tastes. It’s easy to add almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, berries, cinnamon, applesauce, fresh or frozen fruit, shaved coconut or whatever else you enjoy. The key is to mix about equal parts oats and liquid, add the flavorings, then let the pudding rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to 48 hours. Pull the pudding out of the fridge, top with any extras (like fruit, nuts, honey or maple syrup) and enjoy. Or pop in the microwave for a minute for a warm pudding. Easy. And so much better than grandma’s big pot of sticky porridge.

Spicy peanut noodles satisfying comfort food By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press My comfort food of choice? Fried udon noodles with red peppers and shrimp, all slathered in a spicy peanut sauce. It’s simple. It’s filling. It’s addictive and satisfying.

Fried Udon Noodles With Shrimp and Spicy Peanut Sauce Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4 1 cup natural peanut butter 1-inch chunk fresh ginger 1/4 cup rice vinegar 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce 1/4 cup water 1 clove garlic 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Hot sauce, to taste 4 tablespoons sesame oil, divided 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced

Bananas Foster Crepes

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press Bananas Foster is the luscious indulgence created at Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans during the 1950s. It’s hard to beat sautéed bananas doused with rum and brown sugar, then topped with vanilla ice cream. So I decided to keep most of the classic elements, but wrap the bananas in a crepe topped with ice cream and toasted walnuts. My real agenda? To help folks get over their fear of making crepes. Because once you master this simple, classic technique, you’ll wish you’d done it long ago. Making the batter is easy. Throw all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Then let the batter rest for half an hour. This ensures tender crepes. Making the crepes requires one key tool – the right pan. I use a stick-resistant ceramic or enamel pan. A non-stick pan also will do the trick. Just don’t overheat it; this prevents you from being able to swirl and spread the batter as needed for a perfectly thin and evenly cooked crepe. Transporting the batter from the bowl to the pan can be messy. I keep the mess to a minimum by setting the measuring cup on a plate placed right next to the stove, then pouring out the batter a 1/4 cup at a time. Now it’s the moment of truth. You can’t hesitate when making crepes. After the pan is properly heated (you’ll know it is ready when a bead of water drizzled into the pan skips across its surface), you dump in the measured batter, then immediately lift up the pan and tilt it all around so that the batter completely covers the bottom. After only 30 to 45 seconds, you peek under the crepe with a spatula to see whether it has browned. If so, gather your courage, slide the spatula under the crepe, and quickly flip it over. Transfer the cooked crepe to a rack, where it’ll cool off slightly. Then, as you make

more, you can stack them. Fear not, they won’t stick to each other. One last note: A crepe’s pretty side is the first one you cooked. When you roll up a crepe, keep the pretty side on the outside (which means place it on the plate pretty side down before filling and rolling). Admittedly, making crepes takes a little bit of practice, but you’ll be a pro after knocking out two or three of them. You also can make the crepes ahead of time, then cool, stack and wrap them in plastic. If you are going to freeze them, wrap them again in foil and label them well. Contrary to popular myth, you can stack the crepes and they won’t stick as long as you let them warm to room temperature before using. Or, alternatively, remove them from the plastic, wrap the stack in foil and heat in a low oven for a few minutes. Once the crepes are made, dinner or dessert is just minutes away. It’s so easy it may start to make every day feel like Mardi Gras.

For the filling: 2 slightly green bananas 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/4 cup dark rum Coffee or vanilla ice cream, to serve Chopped toasted walnuts, to serve

aside, but do not wipe it out. To the blender, add the milk, flour, eggs and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides. Strain through a sieve into a bowl, then cover and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, heat the skillet over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the batter and ladle a scant 1/4 cup into the pan, tilting and rotating the pan until the batter evenly coats the bottom. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the surface of the crepe looks set and the bottom is barely golden. Flip the crepe and cook for 30 seconds more on the second side. Transfer the crepe to a cooling rack, then repeat the procedure, brushing the skillet as necessary with some of the reserved melted butter, until you have used up all of the batter. You should end up with 8 to 10 crepes. Once they are cool, set aside 4 crepes. The remaining crepes can be wrapped in plastic, then refrigerated or frozen for another use. For the filling, peel the bananas, cut them in half lengthwise, then into quarters crosswise. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until melted. Add the bananas and cook, gently turning over 1 or 2 times, until the bananas are just golden at the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the rum. Stir well, then return the skillet to the heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook until the sauce is the consistency of honey, turning the bananas often to coat them with the sauce. Arrange 1 of the 4 reserved crepes on each serving plate. Spoon a quarter of the banana mixture down the middle of each crepe, then roll up the crepes to enclose the filling. Turn the crepe so the seam is on the bottom. Top each filled crepe with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of sauce from the skillet and a sprinkling of walnuts.

To make the crepes, in a 10-inch nonstick or stick-resistant skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to a ramekin and set aside. Pour the rest of the butter into a blender. Set the skillet

Bananas Foster Crepes Start to finish: 1 hour 10 minutes (40 minutes active) Servings: 4 For the crepes: 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon table salt

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. While the water heats, in a blender combine the peanut butter, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, water, garlic and black pepper. Blend until smooth. The peanut sauce should be thick, but pourable. If the sauce is too thick, add a couple tablespoons of additional water and blend again. Taste, then add hot sauce to your desired heat preference, blending again. Set aside. In a large skillet over mediumhigh, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onion and peppers, then cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Reserve the skillet. Add the udon noodles to the boiling water and cook for 2 min-

utes, or until just barely cooked. The noodles should still be a bit firm. While the noodles cook, return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Drain the noodles well and add them to the hot skillet. Stir-fry the noodles for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are just pink, about 5 minutes. Return the onion and peppers to the skillet and toss until heated. Remove the skillet from the heat, then pour in a liberal amount of peanut sauce (use as much or as little as you prefer), using tongs to toss the ingredients until well coated. Divide between serving plates, then top with peanuts and scallions.

ADVICE 3

Boyfriend’s denial of viewing Loss of eye’s lens flexibility is porn is reason for mistrust inevitable aspect of aging Dear Abby: I’m 18 and smarter than many people realize. I carefully evaluate every situation to find the best solution, but I can’t find one for this problem. My boyfriend, who I’ve been with for two years, recently has started watching hermaphrodite porn on a website where there are naked pictures of local girls. “Roy” has admitted he knows several of the girls on the site. When I told him it makes me feel insecure, he lied and said he hadn’t been on it. Even though I showed him the history, he still denied it. I don’t know what to do. I feel uncomfortable with him now. I feel like I’m not satisfying him or he wants someone else. – Insecure In Massachusetts Dear Insecure: While Roy may have been embarrassed to have been caught, I am still troubled by the fact that he wasn’t honest with you. Whether you’re not satisfying him is beside the point. That he lied to you in the face of evidence to the contrary should be a wake-up call. The question becomes – what else has Roy been less than truthful about? Does he have a

her money. I wouldn’t have been there in the first place if I hadn’t been doing her a favor. I offered to pay $15 if she’d pay the rest. She refuses. If I’m stuck with the whole thing, I will resent it and won’t speak to her. After all, I am a mother, too, and if I caused something like this to happen to any of my children, I would without question pay for the whole ticket. Who is right? – Helpful Daughter In

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips fetish? Is he bi-curious? It would benefit you if you could have an honest conversation with him about it. I don’t blame you for feeling uncomfortable right now. Rather than search for shortcomings within yourself, take a long, hard look at Roy. Do you need a boyfriend you can’t trust, particularly if you think he may have had sex with some of the individuals who appear on a porn site? Dear Abby: My mother asked me on one hour’s notice to take her on an errand. Although I wasn’t planning on going out that day, I obliged. Because she’s elderly, I parked as close to the door of the business as I could. I honestly didn’t see any signs or any parking meters. When we came out, there was a $25 ticket on my vehicle. I was so upset Mom gave me a $20 bill to help. She now says she did it because I made her feel guilty and, since it is my car and she’s my mother, I should pay for the whole thing and return

Dear Dr. K: Why does it become harder for our eyes to focus on close objects as we get older? Dear Reader: The eye is like a camera: It has a lens that continuously focuses to sharpen the picture. As light rays enter the eye, the flexible lens alters its shape, allowing the eye to focus on objects at varying distances. The lens focuses light rays on the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the rear of the eye. As we age, the lens of the eye becomes increasingly inflexible. As a result, light rays focus behind the retina, rather than on it. This is called presbyopia. (On my website, www.askdoctork. com, I’ve put an illustration of how the lens focuses light rays in a normal eye and in a presbyopic eye.) No one knows exactly what causes the lens to become inflexible, but it happens to everyone as a natural part of aging. As early as age 10, our lenses begin gradually to stiffen and lose the ability to change shape. By the time we are in our 40s, the lens has trouble focusing up close. We begin to experience blurred vision when we try to do tasks that require up-close

New Hampshire Dear Daughter: It’s a shame your mother reneged on her offer, but she wasn’t the person who was driving that day. I sincerely hope you won’t let $20 cause a rift in your relationship because it would be childish. In the future, look more carefully to see how the parking is posted – and now that you know your mother can manage, be less solicitous when you’re choosing a spot. (If she really isn’t able to walk far, then her doctor will give her a handicapped parking tag for you to hang on your rearview mirror when you’re driving her.) • Write Dear Abby at www.

dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff focus, such as reading or needlework. The lens continues to stiffen until about age 65, when nearly all its flexibility has been lost. Presbyopia eventually affects everyone, even people who are already farsighted (have trouble focusing on near objects) or nearsighted (have trouble focusing on objects that are farther away). People who are farsighted may experience presbyopia a little earlier in life. Fortunately, presbyopia can be treated with corrective lenses. Because presbyopia continues to get worse as we age, your prescription may change over time. Glasses are the simplest way to regain your ability to see close objects clearly. If you already wear corrective lenses, you may need two sets of glasses: one for distance vision and one for close vision. Or you can try glasses with bifocal lenses. With bifocals, the upper portion of the glass corrects for distance and the lower portion for near vision.

Trifocal lenses have separate portions for distance, middle vision and near vision. The separate sections of trifocals are separated by lines. Progressive lenses accommodate distance, middle and near vision, but without the lines seen in bifocals and trifocals. Contact lenses also can be used to treat presbyopia. What have been the most important discoveries in human history? The solar system? The wheel? Electricity? Antibiotics? Gravity? Evolution? The structure of DNA? The theory of relativity? The “big bang” theory? All of them are profoundly important. I’d also cast a vote for eyeglasses. Most of us develop difficulty with our vision by mid-life, from presbyopia and other afflictions. Indeed, many of us have trouble from an early age. Without eyeglasses, could human society have proceeded as rapidly? Could we have made all those other discoveries? Perhaps not. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Interfering mother casts shadow over future college career Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and live with my mother. My mom and dad were divorced several years ago, and I have very little contact with my dad, but he still fulfills his obligations for my support. My parents hate each other, but that is not my problem. I love both of them and do my best to get along with each of them without riling them up against each other. I’m a solid B student and I dislike studying, so I hadn’t planned on going to college, but lately I’ve been considering it. I’m a good athlete, but my mom ruins every game for me. She always yells at my coach, or the umpires or the

influence is minimized. The type of conflict you describe, between your mother and the school, is extremely rare in college because the students are older and more mature. When you enroll, tell your counselor about the problems your mother had with high school teachers and officials. Trust me, she will not be permitted to interfere with your college activities. Dr. Wallace: I’m 13 and sort of overweight. A boy who lives across the street keeps calling me names, such as “fatso,” “lard buns,” “elephant hips” and other mean things you couldn’t print. I go to a public school, but this kid goes to a fancy private school

for me, so finances wouldn’t be a problem. My problem is my mother will probably pull the same stuff with my community college coaches and teachers that she does with the high school staff. Because of her behavior, I don’t have many friends at school, but I want to change this in college. What can I do to make sure she does not make enemies of my college coaches and teachers? If she tries her old tricks again, I may have to just quit. –

‘TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace referees. She even yells at the other players. When she comes to my school, she usually gets into arguments with my teachers, the principal and even the people working in the cafeteria. She is a real busybody, and everyone who knows her dislikes her. I’ve been thinking about going to our local community college and then if all goes well, I could transfer to a fouryear college.

I talked with my grandmother, and she said to “turn the other cheek,” and this bully will stop pestering me. I’ve tried that, and he continues to punch me even more. I may be overweight, but I’m not a sissy. I just don’t believe in violence. I still have huge bruises on my arms and shoulders all caused by this bully. He thinks I’ll never fight back. I talked with my grandmother again yesterday. She called the bully’s mother, who said her son had told her I was swearing at him and deserved getting hit. This is untrue.

So do you think the time has come for me to defend myself? – Nameless, Geneva, Illinois Nameless: Those who read our column regularly know what my answer will be. You’ve been turning the other cheek long enough. Now comes the time for “an eye for an eye.” Once the bully gets whipped, or at least understands you are going to defend yourself, he’ll go elsewhere to look for a human punching bag. Most bullies are cowards who search for those who can be intimidated. That’s not you anymore. • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.

Poor concentration on the job will result in costly errors. Focus on what you are doing before a mishap occurs. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t fall for the latest “skinny pill” or products that promise unrealistic results. Proper diet, adequate rest and exercise will bring the beneﬁts you desire.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Moderate investment strategies will be required. Excessive spending on trivial purchases will eat into your savings.

You should face problems head-on rather than ignore them or offer evasive or inaccurate information. Take action, and don’t look back.

An emotional state of mind will limit your ability to think clearly.
