WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board soundly rejected hiring a firm owned by a former board member and current Metra representative for its real estate brokerage needs. On a 19-3 vote Tuesday evening, board members opposed appointing M.J. Munaretto & Co. as the county’s nonexclusive agent for brokerage services on an as-needed basis. The issue was supposed to go up for a vote at the March 3 board meeting, but was taken off the agenda and sent back to the Management Services Committee because of questions and concerns. The business’ owner, Marc Munaretto, had served on the County Board from 1998 to 2012 and was appointed by the board last year to represent the county Marc on the Metra Board. The Metra Munaretto Board seat comes with a $15,000 is the owner annual salary. “This just smacks of a con- of M.J. Munaflict of interest. It makes us look retto & Co. very bad if we approve this,” and a former board member Nick Provenza- County Board member from no, R-McHenry, said. County staff reached out to 13 1998 to 2012. real estate companies and adver- Munaretto tised the job, but Munaretto’s also currently company was the only one that represents responded. It cleared the Man- the county agement Services Committee on the Metra on a 5-2 vote. While opposed by Board. chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, and Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, the majority concluded that the county followed the proper procedure for bidding out the service. While the committee, which is in charge of board rules, said it wants to explore a “revolving-door” rule, or a ban on bids from individuals with compensated board-appointed positions, committee member Anna May Miller, R-Cary, said no such rules exist now to forbid awarding the job. “We would like to see a policy like that in place. However, there is no policy in place right now,” Miller said. The three board members who voted yes – Miller, Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, and Robert Nowak, R-Lake in the Hills – represent the same district that Munaretto did. Munaretto also served for two decades as clerk for Algonquin Township, where Miller works. He unsuccessfully ran in 2013 for township supervisor.

Personal stories, preventative efforts underscore forum on suicide By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Weeks after her grandmother died, Sara Crain started her sophomore year of high school grieving and feeling sadness, anger and a host of other emotions. The feelings lingered well into the school year, as Crain

grappled with her decision not to be at the hospital room to witness the passing of a grandmother she adored. She said she regretted the decision and spiraled into depression. Crain’s grades slipped. She withdrew from friends and quit the volleyball team – the moment when her parents started noticing changes with-

in their daughter. “I did have thoughts of suicide. I thought it would be easier to not live than to live,” Crain said. “But I found myself in a position where I thought about my grandmother and realized that I wanted to live for her. I wanted to show her every day what happened happened and that I could move on

and live a better life than this.” Crain, now a freshman at McHenry County College, said she is in a better place after she began the “long process” to manage her depression, talking with counselors about her feelings and her grandmother. She surrounded herself with positive influences and supportive friends.

Crain shared her story Wednesday during a suicide prevention forum at McHenry County College, a week after two Crystal Lake high school students committed suicide in separate incidents. As the community looked for ways to respond to the tragedies, numerous social service groups and police departments

Care enough to give, sign up to be an organ donor SPRINGFIELD – The phone call came early in the morning. It was my mother and she was crying. Mom didn’t weep easily. But that day her tears were happy ones. A donor liver had come through for my brother, Dan, who had been atop the Mayo Clinic’s transplant list for weeks. For months, I had found myself wondering: Will this be the day he dies? I didn’t want him to die. But I fretted. It’s hard not to. I loved him. He was my only brother. And I never had lost someone close to me. For years he had suffered from a rare liver disease – primary scleros-

VIEWS Scott Reeder ing cholangitis. Finally his liver was giving out. Death was near. But someone else’s death saved his. A middle-aged woman in Rochester, Minnesota, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Sometime earlier, she’d signed an organ donor card. That small act saved my brother’s life. On Father’s Day 2004, he began his path to recovery. With the gift of a new liver, his yellowing skin re-

turned to a healthy peach color. His weakened body regained energy. But this isn’t an “and they lived happily after” story. I wish it were. Cancer began to grow in his transplanted liver and by December 2005 he was dead. Still, some woman, whose name we will never know, gave him a year and a half that he never would have had. My brother was not a man prone to much introspection. He was a farmer. Most things were black and white: crop yields, commodity prices, hog weights. But when it came to the unknown woman who gave a part of herself to him, he became quiet and contempla-

The McHenry County Department of Health will offer reduced fee water testing for individual well water users from April 1-30. Residents can have their water sampled for coliform bacteria and nitrate for $18. For information, contact MCDH’s Environmental Health Division at 815-334-4585 or visit www.mcdh.info. ways. Some bacteria and chemicals occur naturally. Contaminants such as nitrate can come from animal waste, wastewater, flooded sewers, polluted stormwater runoff, fertilizers, agricultural runoff or decaying plants. High levels of nitrate in drinking water can cause illness in young children and pregnant women. Coliform bacteria are microbes found in the digestive systems of warm-blooded animals, in soil, on plants and in surface water.

Sterile sample containers from the department are required and are available at the locations below. Samples can be dropped off for testing Tuesday mornings between 9 a.m. and noon. • Algonquin Township Office, 3702 Route 14, Crystal Lake, 847-639-2329 • Dorr Township Office, 1039 Lake St., Woodstock, 815-338-0125 • McHenry County Department of Health, 2200 N.

LOCAL BRIEFS Share your stories about 1965 tornado CRYSTAL LAKE – This April will mark the 50th anniversary of the Palm Sunday tornado, which killed six people in Crystal Lake and Island Lake. The Northwest Herald is looking for people to share their stories about the events of April 11, 1965, and the days that followed. The EF4 tornado was part of an outbreak of tornadoes across the Midwest that killed a total of 271 people and injured another 1,500, according to the National Weather Service. When the tornado swept through Crystal Lake, it ripped off parts of the junior high’s roof, caused heavy damage to a Route 14 shopping center and destroyed homes in the Colby and Orchard Acres subdivisions. Five people were killed in Crystal Lake, including three members of one family. A small boy was killed when the tornado moved on to Island Lake. To arrange an interview, contact reporter Emily K. Coleman at 815-526-4619 or ecoleman@ shawmedia.com.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Police are looking for the public’s help with an investigation into numerous damaged vehicles throughout various Lake in the Hills neighborhoods. Within the past week, Lake in the Hills police have found multiple vehicles along Highwood Lane, Noelle Bend, Fairfax Lane, Wildspring Drive, Chantilly Circle, Terramere Lane, Steeplechase Way and Warwick Lane with smashed windows and mirrors, authorities said. Police believe someone with a blunt object is driving around the neighborhoods and damaging the vehicles during early morning hours, possibly between 2 and 4 a.m. The vehicle appears to be a white, four-day sedan – possibly a Hyundai Elantra – with a small blue-looking emblem on the driver’s side door, Lake in the Hills police said. The department is looking to identify the owner of the vehicle. Anyone with information on the incidents can call the department at 847-658-5676, or leave an anonymous tip on the department’s website, www.lith.org/police/webform/ crime-tips.

MCC looks at new signs

District 26 to put interactive whiteboards in all classrooms

$150K included in budget for changes By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – With the widening of Route 14 underway and further improvements to Route 31 on the horizon, McHenry County College is taking a look at its entrance signs. The construction is forcing the relocation of the signs, some of which could not be simply relocated, college President Vicky Smith said, adding that because the signs will have to be replaced anyway, the college decided to look at all its signs, including adding one at Tartan Drive. “The reason why we have to have new monument signs isn’t just because we want to have new monument signs,” she told the college’s board at Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday evening.

ing maintenance costs, as well as about how resilient to vandalism they are. The budget has $150,000 included for the construction and installation of the three signs, one at the Shah Center in McHenry and two at the Crystal Lake campus. The college’s students and employees will get a chance to weigh in at open houses being planned for the week of March 30. The goal is go out to bid on the Shah Center sign in May so the sign can be replaced in August or September, Smith said. The city of McHenry has told the college the current sign needs to be removed by Aug. 31. The Crystal Lake signs won’t be installed until next year when the Route 14 construction is completed, time that the college and HR Green is using to work with the city of Crystal Lake. The proposed signs are significantly taller than allowed for under city code.

The committee got to a take a look at three variations of signs proposed for the Crystal Lake campus’s main entrance, all of which use the new branding, include a LED sign and are designed to be “clean, simple and visible,” Chief Communications Officer Christina Haggerty said. “Imagine when Route 14 turns into a four-lane road with people going 60 mph how easy it would be to zoom past and not really even realize I’ve just driven by this large institution,” she said. The LED component adds about $30,000 to $40,000 to the cost of each sign, said Phil Stuepfert, a senior project manager with HR Green. The engineering firm was hired in August for just shy of $45,000 to design replacement signs, prepare the bid specifications and negotiate the contract with the chosen bidder. While positive about the designs, trustees asked for more information about the costs of the different options, includ-

“This means we’re completing a project we set out to achieve three years ago to improve technology and accessibility.”

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CARY – All District 26 grade level classrooms will include an interactive whiteboard next school year after a technology purchase was approved Monday night, district officials said. Instead of buying new science textbooks – the district is waiting a year to allow textbook companies to better align with the Next Generation Science Standards, part of Common Core – the board voted to purchase enough equipment to complete the SMART Bundle initiative, according to district documents. The initiative to put SMART Bundles in every classroom – each bundle is made up of a short-throw projector, laptop, speakers, document camera and an interactive whiteboard – began during the 2011-12 school year,

Brian Coleman District 26 superintendent but the district didn’t have the money to put one in every room, the documents said. “This means we’re completing a project we set out to achieve three years ago to improve technology and accessibility,” District 26 Superintendent Brian Coleman said. “Providing a SMART [Bundle] in every classroom accomplishes that goal.” The equipment will go in every classroom except specials and resource areas. Coleman said the vote was

6-0 with one board member absent. The cost to complete the initiative is about $290,000, according to the documents. Also approved was a capital purchase of 80 additional iPads for a total cost of $67,800. The cost of the new iPads largely will be covered with the roughly $65,000 remaining in the technology capital fund, and the difference will be covered out of the technology budget. The documents provided by the district said, “A student with a mobile device in their hands has instant access to current information, instructional videos, up-to-the-second news from around the globe, and can even visit other places in the world virtually.” The technology is expected to be purchased this spring and installed during the summer. Training for the technology will then begin in the summer and fall months.

WOODSTOCK – Students from Woodstock High School recently placed third in a statewide safe driving competition for teenagers, earning the school $1,500 for prom activities. Students from the school’s Students Against Destructive Decisions group were the only ones in McHenry County to place in the top five of the competition, according to a District 200 news release. “Operation Teen Safe Driving” is a months-long competition sponsored by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Governors Highway Safety Association, Allstate Foundation and the Ford Motor Company. During a three-month period, the Woodstock High School students created a safe driving program for their peers, developed public service announcements about texting and driving, and reported statistics on car crashes involving distracted driving. The Woodstock students will join other schools that placed in

The Huntley American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary donated the $10,000 to the volunteers who run the veterans foundation, according to a foundation news release. Since forming last year, the Huntley veterans foundation has worked to raise money and meet various community groups to build a black granite memorial that would honor area veterans and the branches of the U.S. military. Village officials also provided the group a location for the memorial, donating land near the gazebo in downtown Huntley. The foundation needs to raise about $150,000 to complete the

Project on pace for full CRYSTAL LAKE capabilities by May 1 MCC offers industrial maintenance class repair and modify machinery and automated systems. Technicians might work with computer or electronically controlled equipment in both manufacturing and facilities environments. The college’s new industrial maintenance certificate program is designed to give students a strong foundation in preventive and predictive maintenance and knowledge of a variety of pumps, motors and motor controls, mechanical drives, hydraulics, pneumatics and related safety concepts.

NORTHWEST HERALD

• WAIT TIMES Continued from page A1 said. “We have a new fill system, too, so we should be able to fill [the lock] in the same time frame we were even though it is bigger.” During January and February, constructions crews dewatered the lock and removed the gates to be repaired. All of the sheet pile is in place for the lock extension and intake structure. The lock intake pipe has been installed and the concrete for the sill has been poured. The lock walls still are being constructed. The lock gates are being repaired and the foundation of the new gate structure has started to go up. The existing gate structure will remain in place until the new gate is fully constructed. The full project is not expected to be finished until November 2016. An access bridge that stretches across the channel to help expedite construction also will be removed when boating

season begins to give boaters access to the lock. Boating season runs from May 1 through Oct. 31. Lee said officials initially expected the lock expansion to take place over two construction seasons, but it is on pace to have full capabilities by May 1 this year. “I feel like it has gone rather quickly for such a large project,” Lee said. “Hopefully it will increase usage during peak hours.” While the renovations will help speed up waiting times, it will do little to curtail the flooding that often plagues both the Fox River and Chain O’ Lakes. Lee said trying to prevent flooding for one area would naturally increase the problem in the other. “The intent is to have no effect on flooding, because if you help one you hurt the other,” Lee said. “The intent is for it to remain status quo.” The project is being funded with capital funds available for dam safety and improvement projects.

Students will compete against 71 other teams • ROBOTICS Continued from page A3 against 31 other teams made up of seventh- through 12th-graders. At the super regionals, the team will have to compete against 71 other teams over multiple days in Des Moines, Iowa. Teams are judged on multiple levels, not just how well their robots do. They’re also quizzed by the judges on how they prepared, how they handled conflict within the team and about other challenges they’ve faced. During the first round of qualifying matches, they’ll

also have to be on the lookout for other teams they’ll want to team up with for later elimination matches. Fruit Salad, a Crystal Lake team that transitioned this year to the FIRST Tech Challengue league from the FIRST LEGO League this year, also took part in the state competition, winning the Best All Around Rookie Award. The FIRST LEGO League is for students ages 9 to 14 and uses only LEGO-based components. Information about the Octopi team can be found at octopi6007.org, and information about FIRST can be found at www.usfirst.org.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The first class in McHenry County College’s new industrial maintenance certificate program starts this week. Maintenance Management meets from 5:30 to 9:50 p.m. Thursdays at the Crystal Lake campus. The first class is March 19, and the course runs through May 14. Maintenance technicians usually are multi-skilled individuals proficient in many tasks that allow them to assemble, install, troubleshoot,

Bower said the fundraiser has been a community effort, put together by family, friends and strangers. “The families that are part of the current Crystal Lake South hockey team – a lot of them didn’t know Ben, and they’ve still stepped up and really put in time to help me out,” he said. “Rich Perillo, Ben’s other former coach, has been really involved, plus the Leafs Centre is donating the ice to us. Everybody in the community really came together for this.”

according to the Illinois Career Information System. This program is made possible through a federal grant from the Illinois Network for Advanced Manufacturing.

Crisis response worker says ‘help is all around us’ Voni Coombs, a crisis response worker at the McHenry County Crisis Program, told attendees that people, especially teenagers, with depression often feel isolated, detached from others and will lose interest in hobbies and activities – all early warning signs of depression. When someone spots the signs, they need to remain calm, actively listen to the per-

son’s concerns and continue to watch for warnings of depression, Coombs said. The preventative keys often are communication and a willingness to find additional help, she said. The crisis program offers a 24-hour crisis line for those with depression, anxiety and thoughts of suicide. Representatives from other area groups, such as the

Pioneer Center for Human Services and The National Alliance on Mental Illness – McHenry County, also detailed their own crisis services and support groups. “Help is all around us. We just need to access that help,” Coombs said. “With that help comes hope for the future. Depression is a serious condition, but it’s also very treatable.”

the village, which would stand to lose about $1.4 million from its general fund, would offset the proposed 50 percent cut. In addition to revving up economic development efforts to increase sales tax revenue, Bogdanowski said it will be crucial to think creatively while coming up with solutions. “The only way municipalities are going to make it is by having combined services,” he said, bringing up the fact that the village has been doing dispatching for other communities as an example. Zarecky said the village would do well to become more self-sufficient in developing more businesses rather than depending on state-shared income. Ruzanski said the village already is being proactive in communicating with leaders about the issue within the village. “There’s already been direction to department heads to take a close look at their share of the budget and to look at what could be cut,” Ruzanski said, adding the situation still involves so many unknowns. “I believe this will wind up being negotiated between the governor and municipalities as to what the extent of cuts will be made.” In the meantime, he, along with Covone, said upping sales tax revenue with new businesses should be a prior-

ity. With the village’s current budget’s expenses outpacing the revenues – the budget includes completing IT upgrades meant to improve efficiency in the future – candidates also addressed whether operating on a planned deficit is acceptable. Incumbent candidates brought up the fact that the village’s reserves were sufficient enough to plan more expenses based on the IT project’s mostly one-time costs. Dustin, however, disagreed. “I don’t think a community the size of Lake in the Hills should be running a deficit,” Dustin said. “It’s a small community where there shouldn’t be a planned deficit, regardless of what reserves might be available.” For Yensen, she said the village should focus less on using reserves to plan a deficit and more on the retention of village employees, citing a high rate of turnover over the years. Residents will cast their votes to choose the next board April 7. Dave Rudin, who stepped into the chamber of commerce executive director position two weeks ago, said he was glad the candidates were able to attend and discuss some of the issues important in the village. “The chamber is in the unique position to serve the business community and the residential community, so I think it was important for us to provide a neutral place for something like this,” he said.

Personal injury SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker Personal injuries are usually devastating, but being the victim doesn’t mean the legal game will be played fairly. That’s the No. 1 reason why you need to contact an outstanding law firm that combines compassion with a fantastic success rate with personal injury settlements. Franks, Gerkin & McKenna (FGM Law) in Marengo is one such firm. They have a great record of success covering a wide-array of accidents and injuries. When you sustain a personal injury, it may appear simple to assess how it occurred and who’s at fault, but you seriously need to reach out to an attorney to fully understand your rights as an accident victim. They can help calculate the value of your injuries, determine liability, negotiate with insurance companies and fully represent your best interests so

that you have the best chance of receiving fair compensation. Unfortunately, personal injuries occur often and they can ju result in minor injuries as well as serious ones and even death. If you are hurt in motor vehicle, motorcycle or semi truck accidents, or if you are injured while walking or jogging as a pedestrian, chances are high that you should seek an attorney. They will ensure you get the treatment you need to recover, compensation for medical bills, as well as missed wages if your injuries force you to miss work. If you slip and fall and are injured due to a restaurant or store being negligent with improper or inadequate conditions, now is the time to pick up the phone and call a lawyer for help. The same can be said when you are injured from defective products, bitten by a dog, as well as if someone physically attacks (battery) you.

No one should attempt to recover from personal injuries alone. Call FGM Law at (815) 923-2107.

SKETCH VIEW

College readiness a concern By Illinois’ own definition, a majority of graduates in six of 10 McHenry County school districts aren’t ready for college coursework. As part of an effort to better inform families about student achievement, the Illinois State Board of Education this school year released new measurements designed to give the public a more complete picture of school performance. One of the state’s new measurements redefines students’ college readiness. For the record The standard measures the If we’re only average, we percent of public should strive to be more. high school graduates in 2014 who earned at least a 21 on the ACT, a combined score that mirrors the ACT national average. While we want local students to be ready for college coursework, we question what this benchmark really tells us about McHenry County students. If we’re only average, we should strive to be more. Granted, not every student will head to college, but if half of McHenry County students aren’t prepared for college, regardless of whether or not they’re going, that should be a cause for concern. If you aren’t prepared for college, are you really prepared for life after high school? An ACT score of 21 shouldn’t be that difficult for this many students. Graduates from Alden-Hebron District 19 and Harvard District 50 fared the worst in the area. Roughly 36 percent of District 19 graduates and 29 percent of District 50 graduates were considered college-ready. District 50 spokesman Bill Clow said the Harvard school district emphasizes internal measurements that track individual student growth and provides administrators and teachers timely feedback on student needs. We want to know how our kids are doing in school, and this test is just one way of measuring that. But by this benchmark, we’d like to see better.

ANOTHER VIEW

Stability or over the edge? Fundamentally, the future of Illinois’ 2013 pension reform law before the state Supreme Court boils down to this: Does the largest unfunded pension liability from sea to shining sea – well surpassing $100 billion and counting – constitute enough of an emergency for state government to use its crisis police powers to void the contract it made with its workers? Obviously state government’s legal team believes it does, and the attorneys representing the affected unions believe it does not. Whatever, the stakes are high for everybody living in Illinois, not just government workers and retirees. First, the Illinois Constitution states that pensions “shall not be diminished or impaired,” which if words mean anything makes the intentions of the Constitution’s framers pretty obvious and represents a mighty high hurdle to clear. Arguably the court already has telegraphed its decision with its ruling last year that the state could not reduce health care benefits. Meanwhile, one justice asked, quite logically, whether it was “incongruous” for the state to be declaring an “emergency” at the same time it allowed the 2011 income tax hike to sunset. Indeed, if the state doesn’t need that extra $4 billion in revenue the tax hike produces annually, how much of a fiscal “emergency” can there really be? That’s not to suggest the government has no case here. State governments can’t declare bankruptcy, but if they could, Illinois would likely be there. If you think Illinois’ budget dam is on the verge of breaking now – and it is – a tsunami of red ink arguably will flow from now to eternity if the state loses this lawsuit, with the state’s ability to plug it compromised by the worst credit rating in America, among other factors. Obviously that will elevate the pressure to raise taxes, perhaps so high the exodus of Illinoisans – already the highest in the nation – will accelerate, leaving even fewer taxpayers behind to cover these costs. Some observers have used the term “death spiral” in exploring the what ifs here. Is that hyperbole, or just a recognition of reality? Ultimately, we feel the same way about this pending Illinois Supreme Court decision as we do the United States Supreme Court’s deliberations regarding the fate of Obamacare: By all means, decide this case on its constitutional merits, but the justices must not pretend that they can divorce themselves from the real-world consequences of what they are about to do. Absent some “Eureka!” moment regarding a pension fix that so has far eluded our political leaders, which way will this pension decision push Illinois – back on the path to stability, or over the edge?

Hiding from problem To the Editor: Let’s talk about how to address climate change, not whether it exists. According to the Miami Herald, officials in Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection are under orders to not use the terms climate change or global warming, and other inconvenient truths. To their credit, officials apparently have relented, but only somewhat. The formerly banned term “rising sea levels” (they called it “unnecessary flooding”) has been returned to the lexicon in Florida. Florida’s Gov. Rick Scott is a wellknown denier of climate change. There are too many politicians like him who simply deny the view of established science. Our collective energies should be focused on what to do about the problem rather than debating whether there is a problem. And, there is much to talk about: alternative energy sources to reduce our dependence on fossil

I would like to know what kind of blinders she is wearing because I sure don’t see what she is seeing. It’s getting harder to shop locally when so many of the stores are empty, and the ones that replace them are mom-and-pop stores that probably won’t last long either.

The Clintons return shady, self-pitying as ever A few weeks after being impeached, President Bill Clinton was asked why people had treated him the way they had. Clinton answered with a joke about a man who fell from the Grand Canyon, broke his fall by catching a twig, and then found the twig coming loose. “And he looks up in the sky, and he says: ‘Lord, why me? Why me? I pay my taxes. I go to work every day. Why me?’ And this thunderous voice says, ‘Son, there’s just something about you I don’t like.’ ” It’s funny, sure, but there’s a note of self-pity in it, of unjust persecution. Impeachment trials and scandalous tribulations keep afflicting the hapless Clintons. And they never take responsibility for any of it. That’s still the way the Clintons, and the people around them, seem to think. Speaking to Andrea Mitchell last week, longtime Clinton adviser James Carville tried to minimize this month’s story about Hillary Clin-

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru ton’s attempts to hide her State Department email records. “Do you remember Whitewater?” he asked. “Do you remember filegate? Do you remember travelgate? Do you remember pardongate? Do you remember Benghazi? All of this is just the same cockamamie stuff that we go through.” He added: “This is never going to end. We’ve lived with this for 20 years, we’ll live with this through the rest of the campaign. This is all about nothing.” So the Clinton camp’s theory is that phony scandals keep arising because their enemies keep making them up, and a media that is biased against the family keeps giving them credence. (Carville complained to Mitchell that the New York Times had published “right-wing talking

points” in its reporting on the email story.) The gaping hole in this theory is it can’t explain why the media has this supposed bias, and why right-wingers haven’t been able to invent comparable scandals about other Democrats if it’s so easy to do. A better explanation for the profusion of scandals is the Clintons frequently engage in unethical behavior, and that this pattern stimulates true and false accusations. Democrats who were not adults in the 1990s have spent the past week learning what it’s like to have the Clintons at the head of their party. It means constantly having to defend questionable behavior. Is that the way they want to spend the next two to 10 years? Hillary Clinton is in a strong position to win the Democratic nomination, and right now has no serious challenger. But the email controversy, and Clinton’s stonewalling in response to it, has to be causing some qualms. How badly do Democrats need

her? Most of them think that demographic trends will favor them in elections to come. Wouldn’t those trends favor them still if Martin O’Malley or Andrew Cuomo or Elizabeth Warren were their nominee? Nostalgia for the 1990s is supposed to work in Hillary Clinton’s favor. The attraction of a Clinton restoration is the family’s association with peace and prosperity. But putting Clinton in office won’t necessarily bring back peace and prosperity. It will bring back the Clintons, and their ethics, their retinue and their collective self-pity. Americans might decide they’re not quite so nostalgic about that, or about scandals that, as Carville put it, are “never going to end.” They might decide, in fact, that there’s something about the Clintons they just don’t like. • Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist, is a senior editor for National Review.

LaHood to vie for Schock’s seat Democrat: GOP putting Lynch at ‘back of the bus’

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press PEORIA – The son of former White House cabinet member Ray LaHood emerged as the leading contender Wednesday to replace U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, as two other potential candidates abandoned thoughts of seeking the seat that is coming open after a spending scandal forced the Illinois congressman’s abrupt resignation. State Sen. Darin LaHood, a Republican whose father held the central Illinois seat before Schock and then served as President Barack Obama’s transportation secretary, announced that he would seek the seat Wednesday morning during an appearance on a radio show in Peoria, where his family has resided for decades. “This is an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often,” LaHood said, saying he had received “a lot of encouragement” to make a bid for the post in the hours that followed Schock’s announcement Tuesday. LaHood, 46, said he plans to campaign on his record as a former state and federal prosecutor, and on his record as a fiscal conservative who advocated for ethics reform. He told the Associated Press he considers himself more conservative than his father, a Republican who served under a Democratic president and organized bipartisan retreats to foster cooperation. “We tend to disagree sometimes,” he said. “I’ve got a conservative voting record here, a strong record in the senate, so I’ll stand on that.” Two other GOP state senators – Jason Barickman and Bill Brady – were considering bids, but both said they had decided against running in a special election that Gov.

Illinois state Sen. Darin LaHood, R-Dunlap, greets people May 12, 2014, during opening ceremonies for an intersection in Peoria. LaHood announced Wednesday on WMDD radio in Peoria his candidacy for U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock’s soon-to-be-vacant congressional seat. Rauner will call after Schock leaves office March 31. It must be held within 120 days, meaning voters will select a replacement by the end of July. A number of GOP officials moved quickly to support LaHood’s candidacy in Illinois’ 18th district, which is predominantly Republican, while others wanted the dust to settle before backing a Schock replacement. Former Illinois Republican Party chairman Pat Brady said officials likely will be looking for someone who carries a different image than Schock as the district tries to rebound. “I think Darin does fit that bill,” Brady said. “He’s thoughtful, appeals to people on both sides and within the Republican Party and has a great name. The district needs most to get this over with quickly

and have someone who’s widely respected.” A Republican state lawmaker from the area, Rep. Don Moffitt of Gilson, said the district “wouldn’t skip a beat” if LaHood replaced Schock. “We’re just extremely fortunate to have someone of Darin’s caliber in the wings that could take over this seat,” Moffitt said. Local Democrats, meanwhile, said they were still discussing possible candidates. Jackie Petty, vice chairman of the Peoria County Democratic Party, conceded it would be difficult to beat a strong Republican candidate. Schock’s departure, fast and hard even by Washington’s standards, was still resonating Wednesday for the area’s politicians and Schock’s constituents. Already in his fourth term

for a lawyer who suffered brain damage in a crash, the company filed for bankruptcy. A Cook County jury awarded $25.9 million to Marc Jacobs, a passenger in a Yellow Cab on Aug. 31, 2005, when the driver lost control and slammed into a concrete barrier on Interstate 294. After the judgment late Tuesday, the company filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday. In its filing, company officials said Yellow Cab is “experiencing financial difficulty due to, among other things,” a judgment entered against the company in Cook County Circuit Court. Listed among the company’s creditors are Jacobs and his wife, Deborah. Plaintiff’s attorney Robert Clifford said the bankruptcy filing means his clients “may never see a dime.”

Rauner is again saying he expects a deal to address Illinois’ $1.6 billion budget deficit within days. But a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton said there’s still work to do. The Republican governor said Wednesday legislation is being drafted after weeks of negotiations with Democratic leaders. Rauner wouldn’t discuss specifics. Cullerton spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said the draft plan includes an across-the-board 2.25 percent spending cut. She says many Senate Democrats have “serious concerns” because the cut includes education. She said Rauner and legislative leaders need to try again to reach a deal that can pass both chambers. House Speaker Michael Madigan floated the idea of acrossthe-board cuts. Illinois has run out of money for a subsidized day care program. Funds to pay court reporters also are running low.

in Congress at age 33, Schock was the rare media-savvy GOP millennial on Capitol Hill, attracting fans on Instagram, posing bare-chested on the cover of Men’s Health magazine, and leveraging his national profile to become a prodigious fundraiser for fellow Republicans. Energetic and ambitious, Schock made it into the lower rungs of House leadership last summer as a senior deputy whip. But an intensifying barrage of media investigations showed that, along the way, Schock accepted rides on donors’ private planes without properly reporting them, made improbably lucrative real estate deals with political supporters, and spent $40,000 in taxpayer money to decorate his office in the style of “Downton Abbey” – money he paid back after the expenditures came under question.

WASHINGTON – The second-ranking Senate Democrat on Wednesday accused Republicans of putting the president’s attorney general nominee “in the back of the bus” by delaying her confirmation. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois made the comment on the Senate floor as he criticized the GOP over its handling of Loretta Lynch’s nomination. She would become the nation’s first black female attorney general, replacing Eric Holder, the first African-American in the job. Lynch was nominated last fall and Democrats are growing increasingly agitated over Loretta the holdup in Lynch confirming her, although they were in control of the Senate for some of that time. “Loretta Lynch, the first African-American woman nominated to be attorney general, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar,” Durbin said. “That is unfair. It’s unjust. It is beneath the decorum and dignity of the United States Senate.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell planned a vote on Lynch’s nomination this week but delayed it when the Senate was unable to finish work on a bill to combat human trafficking. That legislation is stalled because of

a partisan spat over abortion funding, with Democrats objecting to a provision blocking money in a new victims’ fund from paying for abortions in most cases. “The Lynch nomination is next on the schedule. The only thing holding up that vote is the Democrats’ filibuster of a bill that would help prevent kids from being sold into sex slavery,” McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said in response to Durbin. “The sooner they allow the Senate to pass that bipartisan bill, the sooner the Senate can move to the Lynch nomination.” Democrats claim Republicans snuck the abortion provision into the trafficking bill without telling them. Republicans note the language has been there since the bill was introduced early this year, and no one raised objections as it unanimously passed the Judiciary Committee. Democrats insist they weren’t aware of it. It’s not clear how the issue will be resolved. Both sides say they want to get the bill passed, but Democrats are milking the politics of the dispute. Around the same time Durbin made his racially charged accusation on the Senate floor, female senators held a press conference with women’s groups to accuse Republicans of a “war on women.” A procedural vote to move ahead on the trafficking measure failed Tuesday when Democrats blocked it, and a similar motion was expected to fail later Wednesday.

STATE BRIEFS Measure would require offering safer painkillers SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois House committee has advanced a measure designed to make it harder to abuse prescription painkillers. The Human Services Committee approved the measure 9-3 Tuesday. It moves to the House floor. The legislation would require government and insurance programs to cover the use of painkilling opioids that can’t be crushed into powder. When in powder form, the drugs can be snorted or injected by drug abusers. Opponents warn the special drugs are a far more expensive option.

Expanding gun law priority for gun backers SPRINGFIELD – Firearm proponents are hopeful Gov. Bruce Rauner will expand the state’s concealed-carry law to cover places such as hospitals, churches and bars. Gun owners from across the state flooded the Illinois Capitol on Wednesday for an annual rally. Many spoke with lawmakers from their home districts about legislation to expand gun rights. Gun control activists say firearm groups want the state’s gun laws watered down. They believe Illinois could follow other states that don’t require permits or background checks to carry handguns. The Republican governor declined to comment specifically on pending concealed-carry legislation. Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said he “will carefully evaluate all proposals” for changes to gun laws. Illinois is the last state to have passed a concealed-carry law.

Rockford men sue city over murder conviction ROCKFORD – Two men freed after more than a decade in prison on a questionable murder conviction are suing the city of Rockford and several current and former police detectives. Lumont Johnson and Anthony Ross were convicted in the death of an 8-year-old boy. The boy, DeMarcus Hanson, was killed in April 2002 by gunshots fired through a window of his grandmother’s home. Hanson was not the intended target of what police believe was a gang-related shooting. Johnson, Ross and a third man had their convictions overturned in 2013 after doubts emerged about a key witness. The Rockford Register Star reports that the lawsuit seeks damages for “physical injury and sickness and emotional pain and suffering.”

Coyote survives car crash, nursed back to wild BARRINGTON – Vern the Coyote has gone from grille to the great outdoors. Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation in Barrington released the mended mammal last weekend after surviving a car crash and five months of healing. The animal got his name from the Buick Verano that hit him last September and left him wedged in the grille of the auto. He suffered three broken legs and other fractures and could have died from shock following the collision. Flint Creek director Dawn Keller said such releases are never sad. She says coyotes, when freed, “run like the dickens to get away from us. That’s what Vern did.” Vern was hit by a motorist last September who didn’t find him until he reached his destination.

4 NATION&WORLD • Thursday, March 19, 2015 • Section B • Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com BRIEFS Republicans push conservative budgets WASHINGTON – Making good on last fall’s campaign commitments, Republicans advanced conservative budgets in both houses of Congress on Wednesday, setting up a veto struggle over the fate of the health care law and promising a whopping $5 trillion in spending cuts to erase deficits by the end of the coming decade. The possibility of billions more for the Pentagon and an overhaul of the tax code also emerged as Republican priorities, although there were significant differences between the day-old proposal in the House and the one unveiled during the day by Senate Republicans. Defense spending aside, Medicare was chief among them. Senate Republicans, already eying the 2016 elections, balked at a politically sensitive House plan to turn health care coverage for seniors into a voucher-like program for those who enroll beginning in 2024. Republicans claimed a balanced-budget, no-tax-increase approach as the House Budget Committee neared an evening vote on its proposal. The Senate panel set its vote for Thursday.

Suspect arrested in Ariz. shooting that killed 1 MESA, Ariz. – A gunman killed one person and wounded five others Wednesday in a rampage that included a motel shooting, a carjacking and a home invasion and ended with his arrest at a nearby apartment in suburban Phoenix. The suspect was taken into custody after officers spotted him on an apartment balcony and deployed a stun gun. Numerous officers later led a handcuffed man to a truck parked outside an apartment complex. Police did not immediately release his identity. The incident started with an argument inside a room at a motel and spilled outside, leaving one man dead and two women wounded, Mesa Detective Esteban Flores said.

Attack in Tunisian capital kills 19; 2 gunmen slain TUNIS, Tunisia – Foreign tourists scrambled in panic Wednesday after militants stormed a museum in Tunisia’s capital and killed 19 people, “shooting at anything that moved,” a witness said. Two gunmen were slain by security forces following the deadliest attack on civilians in the North African country in 13 years, and the president said the

young democracy was embroiled in a war with terror. The militants, who wielded assault rifles, burst from a vehicle and began gunning down tourists climbing out of buses at the National Bardo Museum. The attackers then charged inside to take hostages before being killed in a firefight with security forces.

Netanyahu win dashes possible thaw with Obama WASHINGTON – The Obama administration signaled on Wednesday it could take a tougher stance toward Benjamin Netanyahu following his decisive Israeli election victory and campaign tack to the right, saying there will be consequences for his sudden reversal on the idea of an independent Palestinian state. While senior American officials said the administration was still evaluating options, they suggested the U.S. could ease its staunch opposition to Palestinians turning to the U.N. Security Council to create a state. “There are policy ramifications for what he said,” one official said of Netanyahu’s campaign rhetoric rejecting the creation of a Palestinian state. “This is a position of record.” If Netanyahu holds firm to his opposition to a two-state resolution to the Mideast conflict, it could force whoever sits in the Oval Office to choose between the prime minister and a long-standing U.S. policy with bipartisan support.

Fed wants further gains before rate hike WASHINGTON – After holding interest rates at record lows for more than six years, the Federal Reserve still isn’t ready to start raising them. The Fed signaled Wednesday that it needs the job market to improve further and inflation to rise above low levels before it begins nudging borrowing rates up. Even then, it suggested it will do so only very gradually. The statement the Fed issued after its latest policy meeting seemed to catch investors by surprise in suggesting that a rate increase might be further off than many had assumed. Stock prices jumped, and bond yields fell. The Dow Jones industrial average, which had been down nearly 100 points before the statement was issued, closed up 227 points, or 1.3 percent. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which influences long-term mortgage rates, tumbled from 2.04 percent just before the Fed’s announcement to 1.92 percent.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics* estimates that the number of dental assistant jobs will increase by 25% by 2022.* This growth can be attributed to several factors: · People are keeping more of their original teeth than previous generations, so the need to maintain and treat teeth will continue to increase. · Research findings have linked oral health to overall health, a trend that will likely continue, thus increasing demand for preventive dental services. · Federal health legislation is expected to expand the number of patients who have access to health insurance, which will mean more patients and more procedures.

Now is a great time to consider a rewarding career in the growing health care industry. For more information about our Dental Assisting program, call First Institute at 815-290-9428 or log on to www.myﬁrstinstitute.com.

Administration sets record for withholding files By TED BRIDIS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Obama administration set a record again for censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press. The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn’t find documents and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy. It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law – but only when it was challenged. Its backlog of unanswered requests at year’s end grew remarkably by 55 percent to more than 200,000. It also cut by 375, or about 9 percent, the number of full-time employ-

ees across government paid to look for records. That was the fewest number of employees working on the issue in five years. The government’s new figures, published Tuesday, covered all requests to 100 federal agencies during fiscal 2014 under the Freedom of Information law, which is heralded globally as a model for trans- Barack parent govern- Obama ment. They showed that despite disappointments and failed promises by the White House to make meaningful improvements in the way it releases records, the law was more popular than ever. Citizens, journalists, businesses and others made a record 714,231 requests for information. The U.S. spent a record $434 million trying to keep up. It also spent about $28 million on lawyers’ fees to keep records secret.

“This disappointing track record is hardly the mark of an administration that was supposed to be the most transparent in history,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who has co-sponsored legislation with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., to improve the Freedom of Information law. Their effort died in the House last year. The new figures showed the government responded to 647,142 requests, a 4 percent decrease over the previous year. It more than ever censored materials it turned over or fully denied access to them, in 250,581 cases or 39 percent of all requests. Sometimes, the government censored only a few words or an employee’s phone number, but other times it completely marked out nearly every paragraph on pages. On 215,584 other occasions, the government said it couldn’t find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the government determined the request to be unreasonable or

improper. The White House touted its success under its own analysis. It routinely excludes from its assessment instances when it couldn’t find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper under the law, and said under this calculation it released all or parts of records in 91 percent of requests – still a record low since President Barack Obama took office using the White House’s own math. “We actually do have a lot to brag about,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Earnest on Wednesday praised agencies for releasing information before anyone requested it, such as the salaries and titles of White House employees. He cited more than 125,000 sets of data posted on a website, data.gov, which include historical temperature charts, records of agricultural fertilizer consumption, Census data, fire deaths and college crime reports.

Why Haven’t Neuropathy Sufferers Been Told These Facts? Do you have any of the following symptoms? • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans. Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs.This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

What Other Professionals are saying about this program.

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects. Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

”The ReBuilder has helped our patients who have painful side effects from chemotherapy neuropathy so much...” -Cancer Treatment Centers of America. ”Previously, treating peripheral neuropathy patients hasn’t been really successful...but I’ve never seen resolutions like we’re seeing in these cases.” John P.

Mahaffy refuses to give in

Subsectional plan would affect area By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com

CLC pitcher stymies R-B By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake Central’s Megan Mahaffy had allowed only two infield singles by the time Richmond-Burton’s Haylie Regnier greeted the senior pitcher in the top of the seventh inning Wednesday. Regnier, who beat out an infield single in the fourth, led off the final inning with a loud triple to deep right field, threatening to ruin Mahaffy’s complete-game shutout. But Mahaffy, who had multiple strikeouts in the first, third and fifth, finished off the Rockets with three consecutive strikeouts, punching out Hailey Hildebrandt, Allie Hogan and Sam Wegner, each for the second time, to lead Central to a 5-0 nonconference win at Lippold Park.

Cary-Grove girls volleyball coach Patty Langanis remembers watching regional play-in games that felt like sectional championships. “We were sitting there saying, this is insane,” she said. “Either of these two teams could win in a nearby region.” Predetermined region- Patty Langanis als meant that for years some of the top teams in the area met as soon as the first round of the postseason. Other times, one region was filled with sub-500 teams, as in 2012 when McHenry (13-16) won the Cary-Grove Boys Basketball Regional over Crystal Lake South (9-19), Prairie Ridge (8-19), Cary-Grove (8-21) and Jacobs (7-22). After hearing concerns from athletic directors and coaches around the state, the IHSA has formed a committee that is drafting a plan to reshape the way regionals are created for all team bracketed sports (baseball, basketball, soccer, softball and volleyball). Under the proposal, two neighboring regionals would be paired and seeded to form a subsectional. The top two seeds would then be placed in different regionals so they would not meet until later in the playoffs. Many sectionals already are seeded from top to bottom, and those sectionals would not be affected. “I think the majority of schools are going to likely favor something like this,” IHSA assistant executive secretary Craig Anderson said. “We expand the geography a little bit in order to separate some of those really good teams that have in recent years been matched up in the same regional.”

Another look at needs on offense By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com Through one week of free agency last year, the Bears had signed Lamarr Houston, Willie Young, Ryan Mundy, Israel Idonije, MD Jennings, Jordan Senn and Danny McCray before a lull that led to a few more additions in April. In Ryan Pace’s first go-around as a general manager, he made some big personnel decisions in his first week, from trading receiver Brandon Marshall to signing linebacker Pernell McPhee. With four new Bears added, one more re-signed (quarterback Jimmy Clausen), Marshall gone and QB Jay Cutler staying, we can take a new look at where the Bears’ needs remain, po-

the need here. Maybe that applies to free agency – there’s no big reason to bring in another veteran quarterback, but the Bears hardly committed to Cutler for the long term, making an addition in the draft still a very real possibility.

Pitching carries Trojans

Wolves’ Baker has 2 hits, RBI in loss By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com CARY – The calendar still reads March, but CaryGrove’s baseball team came out Wednesday looking as if it had been playing games for months. C-G grabbed an early lead and added some dominant pitching as the Trojans won their season opener, 2-1, against Palatine in a nonconference game at Cary-Grove High School. Larkin Hanselmann was a dominant pitcher during his junior season, and the lefthander may be even better this season. Hanselmann started the game striking out the first six Palatine hitters and finished with 10 strikeouts in four innings while allowing no hits. “I didn’t throw many pitches in warmups, but I felt pretty good,” Hanselmann said. “My fastball worked pretty well today, and that set up some of my other pitches. I really wanted to try to change speeds today and give them a different look when they came up to bat a second time, and I feel like I did a good job of keeping them off balance.” In conditions not ideal for hitting, the Trojans’ bats got off to a quick start. James Perkins hit the first pitch of the game to deep right field for a double and scored two batters later on a double by Tyler Pennington. In the second inning, C-G (1-0) struck again, this time taking advantage of a Pirates error that scored George Hartke to put the Trojans up, 2-0. Matt McCumber finished the last three innings for the Trojans and picked up where Hanselmann left off. McCumber struck out five in his three innings to pick up the victory. Palatine (0-1) put together a mild threat in the seventh inning and scored its only run before McCumber ended the game with another strikeout. C-G coach Don Sutherland said it was a good start to the season. “It’s really tough getting the bats going in March because most of the early season is spent inside hitting in the gym.” Sutherland said. “We did some good things today with the bats early on, and Larkin and Matt both pitched real well. We did what we needed to do to get the win.”

Mahaffy strikes out 11 to win season opener • SOFTBALL Continued from page C1 Mahaffy (1-0) finished with 11 strikeouts, allowing three hits and walking one in seven innings to earn the win in the Tigers’ first game of the season. “Really, everything was working besides my changeup, which kind of stunk, but I used my curveball today, which was weird because it usually doesn’t work,” said Mahaffy, who added an RBI at the plate. “I think it was really important to keep the team aspect of it and not give up a run and get us a good shutout and first win. “That’s what I was thinking about the whole time, the team.” Mahaffy also had to work around a one-out error in the top of the sixth, which, at the time, put the tying run in scoring position. After the error, however, she struck out Meagan Spohr and induced a 1-3 groundout off the bat of Ashley Turner to end R-B’s threat. No other Rockets batter reached second base until Regnier’s triple in the seventh. “She was awesome,” Tigers coach Brian Strombom said. “She was in command and ahead of most of the hit-

ters. Even if she fell behind, she found ways to make pitches in spots and it was really difficult for [R-B] to do anything with them.” “She’s a polished pitcher at this level and she knows what she wants to do and can execute. I also thought Jordan Thomas did a good job behind the plate keeping track of everything.” Maddie Helm (2 for 4) scored first for the Tigers on a wild pitch in the fourth to give her team a 1-0 lead, but freshman pitcher Sophie Schwegel held Central in check, allowing only the one run in five innings on four hits and four strikeouts. Central added four runs in the sixth inning on five hits and three errors, getting run-scoring knocks from Rachel Kautz, Mahaffy and Helm. The Rockets (0-2) finished with the three hits and stranded five runners on base. Grace Schwegel had R-B’s other infield single against Mahaffy. “They needed to be more aggressive,” Rockets coach Stephanie Hutchinson said. “[Mahaffy] was throwing inside outside and we needed to adjust, and we didn’t. Once we do that, we’re on her. We started catching up to her a little by the seventh inning, but it was too late.”

Change also proposed for football postseason • PLAYOFFS Continued from page C1 This past girls volleyball season, for example, Prairie Ridge (21-15) met Crystal Lake South (32-7) in a regional semifinal. It is likely that under the new system that matchup would have occurred later, or not at all. The proposal would affect many of the teams in McHenry County. The committee will meet during the first week of April to finalize the recommendations. Anderson, who is heading the committee, said they will present the plan to the IHSA Board of Directors for review and possible vote at the April 21 meeting. Changes could be approved and implemented as soon as the 2015-16

school year. The committee is considering a similar proposal for football. Currently, the state is broken in half and football teams are seeded (1 to 16). If more than one trip in the first round exceeds 150 miles, the group of 16 is divided again, this time into two groups of eight. The proposal would eliminate the second step. The state always would be divided into two groups of 16, never quadrants. A number of Class 7A and 8A schools also have asked the committee to seed the entire state (1 to 32) in their classifications. The committee will consider this request at their meeting and then decide whether it will be presented to the board of directors.

SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

PALATINE – A day after starting the season with a walk-off win, nothing went right for Prairie Ridge on Wednesday at Fremd. The Wolves’ bats never got going, managing only three hits, while Fremd batters kept making solid contact and finding gaps in the Prairie Ridge defense. The Vikings scored each time up to bat as they beat Prairie Ridge, 13-2, in five innings. Hailey Baker started for the Wolves (1-1) and pitched all four innings, taking the loss. At the plate, Baker reached base three times, including two hits, and knocked in a run. Erin Wing had the Wolves’ only other hit. “I think everything was a little off tonight in all aspects of the game,” Baker said. “And when that happens against a good team, you’re really going to be down.” Baker retired the first two Fremd batters in the bottom of the first, but then an infield single and a walk set the table for Holly Straup, who blooped a single into right field, making it 1-0. The Vikings (2-0) broke things open in the bottom

A Wolves throwing error kept the inning alive, and Rebecca Uhrich drove in two with another flare to the right side. Baker walked the next batter, putting two Vikings on base for clean-up hitter Julie Josten. Fremd coach Jim Weaver said that after the walk he told Josten to “make it hurt.” She did, hitting a three-run

home run down the right field line. “She was working us a specific location and a specific type of pitch, and our kids did a good job adjusting to that,” Weaver said of the three big hits to the right side. The Vikings added another run in the third and then put things out of reach with six in the bottom of the fourth to extend the lead to 13-0. “I think what happened is a lot of times we make an error or two and then all of a sudden things start snowballing,” Prairie Ridge coach Mike Buck said. “We hit the ball right at people and they got a couple bloopers there and all of a sudden things start snowballing and boom, boom, boom.” The Wolves scored their only two runs in the top of the fifth. Fremd made a pitching change to start the inning, going to Jessica Mazur, who walked the bases loaded. Baker drove in Kaitlin Leverenz with a single through the right side, and Michelle O’Keefe drove in Samantha Anderson with a groundout. Lea Barrett got the win for Fremd, starting and giving up just two hits in four innings of work.

Big day for Beckham; White Sox beat Reds GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Gordon Beckham homered and hit two doubles, sending the White Sox past the Cincinnati Reds, 9-4, Wednesday. Alexei Ramirez added a two-run double off Reds starter Jason Marquis. Geovany Soto homered for the White Sox. Beckham’s first homer this spring was a two-run shot off Pedro Villarreal. Marquis, set to fill one of the Reds’ rotation jobs, retired the first nine batters before walking Emilio Bonafacio and Avisail Garcia in front of Ramirez. Marquis walked three in five innings. He gave up four runs and five hits. White Sox starter Jose Quintana pitched 42/3 innings. allowing a run on two hits.

Coghlan homers, Arrieta struggles in Cubs’ win GLENDALE, Ariz. – Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy was hit hard as Chris Coghlan homered and drove in three runs to lead the Cubs over Los Angeles, 7-5, Wednesday. The Cubs jumped on McCarthy quickly. In the first, Arismendy Alcantara tripled and scored on a fielder’s choice. Coghlan hit a two-run homer in the second inning after a tworun double by Albert Almora. It was Coghlan’s first homer of the spring. Coghlan added a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Joc Pederson hit a three-run homer off Cubs starter Jake Arrieta and went 3 for 3. The Dodgers roughed up Arrieta for five runs and seven hits in four innings.

Boeheim reign to end in 3 years amid troubles SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Jim Boeheim became the face of Syracuse University over the past five decades, first as player, then as coach – revered for wins and delivering a national title to a struggling city in 2003. But the coda to his decorated career has become tinged with undeniable blemishes, laid out in harsh penalties for violations the NCAA says show Boeheim and the university lost control of athletics. Boeheim and Syracuse officials acknowledged the unwanted ties Wednesday in announcing he will retire after three more seasons, while insisting they don’t agree with parts of the scathing NCAA report and will appeal to try to save scholarships and wins.

Dallas Seavey wins Iditarod for 3rd time NOME, Alaska – Dallas Seavey won his third Iditarod in the past four years, beating his father and more than 60 other mushers to the Bering Sea coastal town of Nome early Wednesday after racing 1,000 miles across Alaska. An exhausted Seavey, who also won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 2012 and 2014, petted and hugged his dogs after their victory. Seavey’s father, Mitch, finished in second place. Veteran musher Aaron Burmeister was third, arriving in Nome at 9:47 a.m., followed by Jessie Royer in fourth place at 11:51 a.m.

Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling stops a shot by the Rangers’ Dominic Moore during the first period Wednesday in New York. The Hawks won, 1-0, behind Darling’s 25 saves.

BLACKHAWKS 1, RANGERS 0

Darling up to challenge Rookie blanks Rangers at Madison Square Garden By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com NEW YORK – Against possibly the best team in hockey, on the road, with first place in the Central Division suddenly within reach, Joel Quenneville sat his red-hot No. 1 goaltender for a guy who hadn’t played since giving up four goals on Feb. 27, a guy with nine NHL starts to his credit. And all Scott Darling did was shut out the New York Rangers, 1-0, at Madison Square Garden. “It’s one of the most famous arenas in the world against one of the most iconic jerseys there is,” Darling said after making 25 saves in his first career shutout. “Original Six matchup on NBC Sports Network. I couldn’t ask for much more.” Suddenly, emphatically, and a little improbably, it’s all going the Blackhawks’ way. The most devastating moment of the season – Patrick Kane crashing into the boards and breaking his clavicle on Feb. 24 – has proved to be not their breaking point, but rather their turning point, the moment when a winter of discontent yielded to another spring of promise and potential. With a sharper attention to detail and a renewed focus on team defense as their most dynamic offensive player heals, the Hawks are 6-0-1 in their

past seven, with four straight wins, including an impressive sweep of the two elite New York teams in a 27hour span. They’re a mere three points behind the St. Louis Blues for first place in the Central Division, and two points behind the second-place Nashville Predators with two games in hand. And while the Blues face a daunting schedule, the Hawks’ next four games come against Dallas, Carolina, Philadelphia and Columbus – four teams simply playing out the string. And the Hawks believe they’re past the point of the season in which they play down to the level of their competition. “I think we’ve got a lot of incentive on our own side, and the teams we’re going to be playing have got incentive,” Quenneville said. “There are no easy games, and getting ready this time of the year shouldn’t be an issue.” It wasn’t for Darling, who hadn’t played since enduring a 4-0 loss at Tampa Bay three weeks earlier. Quenneville gave the rookie from Lemont the nod even though Corey Crawford is 6-0-1 with a 1.13 goals-against average and .964 save percentage in his last seven games, because of the heavy workload Crawford faced Tuesday night in a 38-save victory over the Islanders.

Darling vindicated his coach, outdueling Cam Talbot, who once again made life difficult on the Hawks 10 days after winning at the United Center, 1-0, in overtime. Fittingly, it was Brad Richards – bought out by the Rangers over the summer after falling to the fourth line during their run to the Stanley Cup Final last season – who finally broke through for the Hawks after more than 108 scoreless minutes against the Rangers, scoring the lone goal 7:19 into the third period. In an incredibly tight-checking game, the Rangers somehow left Richards all alone around Talbot, and Richards took his time and positioned himself on the doorstep before snapping a shot past him. “You never want to say it, but tonight was a little special,” Richards said. “It was a bonus to get one in this building against them. Not in a bad way. I have nothing bad to say about the organization or New York – everybody knows how much I loved playing here. But it’s pretty cool to score against them and win the game.” It was the cherry on top for the Hawks, who finally appear to be getting the sour taste of the last couple of months out of their mouths. “It was a big win for us,” Quenneville said. “A lot of good things happened.”

BULLS 103, PACERS 86

Bulls cruise, let frustrated Noah rest By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Joakim Noah and his suddenly very public minutes restrictions aren’t about to go away anytime soon. Thankfully for the Bulls, they didn’t need them to Wednesday. Behind 25 points from rookie Nikola Mirotic, as well as 21 points from Mike Dunleavy, the Bulls (41-28) ended their two-game losing streak, beating the Pacers, 103-86, at the United Center. But all eyes remained on Noah, who has been dancing with playing time restrictions all season, after having offseason left knee surgery. “It’s frustrating,” Noah said. “I think I’m not the only one who’s frustrated sometimes. I think it’s part of the grind. I’m just trying to stay focused on what’s important and trying to win basketball games. I’m not trying to get caught up in any noise or anything like that. I don’t want to be a distraction. We’ll figure it out internally and do what’s best for the team.” Lately, what management has deemed best for the team was Noah back down to 32 minutes since missing last week’s game in Philadelphia when the knee once again acted up. After returning in Charlotte, Noah was unable to not only finish that game, but also was absent from the final minutes in Oklahoma City when he had reached his limit. He then opted to avoid the media for several days, raising questions about where he stood on the restrictions being handed down from man-

The Bulls won, 103-86. agement. “It’d be nice,” Noah said, when asked if he would like to be on the floor to close games. “I think that right now I’m feeling better and better on the court. I know I still have another gear. But I think that the reason for this minutes restriction is to try to protect me, too. It’s not to point any fingers or anything like that. We just have to do what’s best for me and the team. I think we’re going to be just fine.” For now, maybe. But come the last week of the regular season, and then into postseason

play, Noah said that if the restrictions were still hindering in his opinion, a discussion with management would have to take place. “As coaches and an organization, all together I think we can talk and figure it out,” Noah said. “That’s fair.” The way coach Tom Thibodeau handled it against the Pacers was a bit more spread out, but then again, a two-point lead in the first quarter, and then outscoring Indiana, 27-19, in the second, made it much easier for Thibodeau to lighten the load, playing him just over seven minutes in each of the first two quarters. Noah put in 4:19 in the third, and was available for most of the fourth. The Bulls didn’t really need him. He finished with 29:08 minutes of work, scoring six points, while adding 14 rebounds and seven assists. “We’ve talked about a lot of things all season long,” Thibodeau said, when asked about discussions he’s had with Noah about minutes. Bigger picture? The win kept the Bulls in the No. 4 spot of the Eastern Conference playoff seedings with 13 games left, and hopefully getting some key players back with Jimmy Butler (left elbow) and Taj Gibson (left ankle) practicing. What type of minutes restrictions those two will be under for Thibodeau is still an unknown. “I’ve been around a long time,” Thibodeau said. “For me, you block out all the noise and just concentrate on your job. I have no regrets. I put everything I have into each and every day. I’m going to let the results, you know … and I’m good with that.”

NORMAL – Paris Lee hit the shots when it mattered, scoring 18 points late in the game, and also made two key steals late to lead Illinois State past Green Bay, 69-56, in Wednesday’s first round of the National Invitation Tournament. Daishon Knight added 17 points, and Reggie Lynch and DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell scored 15 and 14, respectively, for the Redbirds (22-12). ISU went 0 of 8 from the 3-point line until the second half. Lynch nailed a 3 with 16:13 left to put ISU up for good, and Lee followed 12 seconds later with another. The Redbirds went 4 for 16 from beyond the stripe. Lee made two steals of deep passes ISU converted for points in the final six minutes. “Paris basically was a beast all night,” said Redbirds coach Dan Muller. “He certainly stepped up when we needed him.” Free throws sealed the victory for Illinois State. The Redbirds went 27 for 33 compared to Green Bay’s 6 of 13. “Runs begin with good shots and a lot of emotion,” Muller said. “But free throws won it for us. And Paris (Lee) hit a lot of them in the first half to keep us in the game.” Lee went 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. “I was trying to attack all night, and just got the foul calls,” Lee said. “We were down early, and we needed the right plays by the right people.” The Phoenix were led by Keifer Sykes, who scored 14 points after missing last week’s Horizon League final loss against Valparaiso because of an injured ankle. Alfonzo McKinnie added 11 points and seven rebounds for Green Bay (24-9).

NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Dayton rallies past Boise St. on home court The ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTON, Ohio – Kendall Pollard scored 17 points, and Dayton used every bit of its home-court advantage Wednesday night, rallying for a 56-55 win over Boise State in the NCAA tournament’s First Four. The Flyers (26-8) will play sixth-seeded Providence on Friday in Columbus, Ohio. It was the first time since 1987 that a school has played an NCAA tournament game on its home court, an anomaly resulting from Dayton hosting the opening games. The Flyers went 16-0 at home during the regular season and have won 22 straight at UD Arena, the seventh-longest active streak in Division I. The Flyers trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half and by seven with 3:43 to go. With the crowd of 12,592 behind them – the biggest attendance for a First Four game – Dayton closed with a 10-2 run. Derrick Marks’ leaning 3-pointer at the buzzer was far off the mark, finishing it off. Marks had 23 points on 10-of-21 shooting. The Broncos had already snapped San Diego State’s 29-game home-court streak this season, and came up just short of another big road win. The Broncos missed seven of their last eight shots. Robert Morris 81, N. Florida 77: At Dayton, even down by six points at halftime and by 13 early in the second half, Robert Morris never forgot that the NCAA Tournament was supposed to be fun. Lucky Jones scored 21 points, including a key free throw, Rodney Pryor had 20 and Marcquise Reed 19 to lead the Colonials to a victory over North Florida in the First Four. “We made sure coming into halftime that we remembered this is a blessing to be out here, to enjoy the moment,” Pryor said with a wide grin. “Guys had their heads down and things like that, but we reiterated going out and having fun and enjoying it.” Part of the reason they had so much fun was a second half without a turnover, plus completely stifling the high-scoring, perimeter-minded Ospreys down the stretch. The Colonials (20-14), who won the Northeast Conference Tournament to get into the field as a 16 seed, now meet top-seeded Duke in the second round on Friday in Charlotte. Beau Beech finished with 28 points for the Ospreys (23-12), champs of the Atlantic Sun Tournament who were making their first trip to the NCAA tournament.

Some in the NFL are pushing to allow teams to challenge penalty calls.

NFL

Replay tops proposed rules changes in NFL By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press NEW YORK – Video replays galore. More coaches’ challenges. And a “bonus field goal.” All are on the agenda for next week’s NFL meetings, when team owners will spend much time deciding whether 13 proposals to amend instant replay should pass. Among the replay proposals are Detroit suggesting reviewing all penalties called by game officials – yes, including pass interference and holding calls; all personal fouls; penalties against defenseless players; any foul that results in an automatic first down; and clock issues. New England even proposed that everything except scoring plays or turnovers be challengeable. Washington suggested increasing a coach’s number of challenges from two to three, regardless of whether he is successful on an early challenge. Even stadium-produced video could be used to correct officiating errors if a suggestion by Tennessee is approved. Currently, no penalties are reviewable. The Lions felt burned by a flag against the Dallas defense that was picked up in Detroit’s loss in January. St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher, a member of the powerful committee, made it clear that his peers wouldn’t favor such

a change. “It would be our responsibility on the field whether these are fouls or not fouls,” Fisher said of his fellow coaches. “[Replay review] was never designed to involve fouls.” Also to be discussed in Phoenix will be a proposal by the Patriots to place fixed cameras on all boundary lines. That would guarantee coverage of the goal lines, end lines and sidelines regardless of where network cameras are positioned. Other proposals include moving the extra point attempt to the 15-yard line; guaranteeing both teams a possession in overtime even if one scores a touchdown on its first drive; and a scenario that gives teams that successfully convert a 2-point conversion the chance to immediately add another point from midfield with a “bonus field goal.” Indianapolis came up with the latter which, if approved, would make a nine-point deficit a one-possession game. The Colts also proposed allowing host teams to open a retractable roof at halftime, weather permitting, to enhance fan experience. Also: • The catch-no catch rule so heavily debated after the Cowboys’ Dez Bryant had a reception overruled in the final minutes of a playoff game at Green Bay will not be changed – ex-

cept for some potential changes to the language of the rule. • Almost certain to be discussed is an expansion of the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams, which also would cut out one wild-card round bye per conference. The committee looked into the advantages and disadvantages last year and, according to Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay, “from a competitive standpoint we don’t think there is a competitive negative to [expanding] the playoffs.” But more playoff teams and games could remain tabled while the NFL concentrates on boosting its Thursday night TV package. • No proposals on the handling of footballs before games were made while the league awaits the Wells report on the Patriots’ use of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game. • New England’s use of eligible players in ineligible positions during a playoff win over Baltimore prompted a proposal that such players must line up inside the tackle box, eliminating confusion for defenses. • Several player safety rules will be discussed, particularly for defenseless receivers, to eliminate chop blocks by running backs outside the tackle box, to prohibit pushing ahead rushers when a team is punting, and prohibiting any peelback blocks.

Outside threat needed at receiver • BEARS Continued from page C1 Wide receiver: Marshall is gone and Eddie Royal is in, and the Bears still could use an outside threat to pair opposite Alshon Jeffery, which is why some have considered prospects such as Kevin White and Amari Cooper options for the Bears at No. 7. Pace mentioned receivers on the roster who could have “ascending roles,” which may refer to Marquess Wilson. Even if this staff is as high on Wilson as the previous staff was (which is unlikely, considering the praise heaped upon Wilson last summer), the Bears still could use a weapon at wideout,

and getting a starter in a deep receiver draft is a likely option. Tight end: The Bears resigned Zach Miller, who shined last preseason before a foot injury. Even if he showed promise, Miller hasn’t played in a regular-season game since 2011 because of injuries. The Bears were interested in Virgil Green, who re-signed with the Broncos, and Gase used two tight ends a decent amount in Denver’s offense the past two seasons. It’s a weak tight end draft, and there’s not much left on the free-agent market, yet this is a position group that should grow in the coming months. Offensive line: One addition this week was guard Vladimir Ducasse, a former sec-

ond-round pick who never panned out with the Jets and was shaky in his six starts for the Vikings. Ducasse is simply a depth addition, unless the Bears plan to move Kyle Long to tackle – something that Pace did not rule out – then Ducasse is in a starting competition. Roberto Garza is under contract, but the Bears reportedly have shown interest in Samson Satele and Dan Connolly, so Garza should expect some competition. Tackle is a question mark considering Long’s position status, but many teams believe it’s a position always worth adding for depth purposes, and that’s a position the Bears could add to via the draft to compete with Jordan Mills.

In a recent column I told you about the retirement of Illinois Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist Ray Eisbrener. Please do not fret because I have met Ray’s replacement, and we have been placed into capable hands. Stefanie Fitzsimons, a 31-year-old resident of McHenry, is very competent and who has been charged with the task of making life better for the legions of northern Illinois outdoors aficionados. Fitzsimons is the new wildlife biologist working out of the IDNR office at the Chain O’ Lakes State Park. In addition to Fitzsimons, the office has two fisheries biologists, a forester and a natural heritage specialist. Fitzsimons was raised in Aurora and graduated from West Aurora High School. She then enrolled at Monmouth College, where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in biology. She then moved on to Western Illinois University, where she received a master’s degree in ecology and environmental geographic information systems. Fitzsimons joined the IDNR in 2011. She spent one year in the Springfield headquarters working on endangered species initiatives. Fitzsimons enjoyed her time in Springfield, she said, “But it was a cubicle job. It wasn’t exactly for me. I wanted to be outside, but it was a good learning experience to find out how the IDNR worked from the inside.” When Fitzsimons was assigned to the northern Illinois region in April, she watched and waited. “I wanted to get my feet wet at first,” she said. “Now I want to be ‘all in.’ “We definitely have a lack of resources due to our tight budget, so I am going to have to be creative in order to make things happen. I think I can do that.” Fitzsimons has many responsibilities to attend to in her role as a wildlife biologist. They include managing hunting programs, establishing policies and rules, managing waterfowl hunting, collecting data and compiling reports, analyzing data, creating quotas and many other tasks to fill her days. She’ll also be out in the public, educating the area’s sportsmen and listening to their ideas and complaints. She is working on an “Acres for Wildlife” program in which area landowners with five or more available acres can get help in developing the property for wildlife habitat. Fitzsimons is part of the IDNR’s wild land firefighting team that gets sent to help out in areas where wild forest fires are raging. In a related area, she also works on prescribed burns on both public and private land. These controlled burns clear out dead growth and allow the forests to regenerate more naturally. Fitzsimons loves to hunt and fish. She was introduced to fishing at the age of 3 by her father. She’ll fish anywhere and everywhere for whatever is swimming. She was introduced to ice fishing this winter by her boyfriend, and she loves it. Her hunting adventures are usually for things that fly. She loves walking the fields in pursuit of pheasants and enjoys taking ducks and geese from a blind. Her family lost its longtime pet Labrador retriever recently, and Stefanie is in the market for a new Lab that she can transform into a hunting companion. Fitzsimons wants to work on getting more women and children involved in the world of the outdoors. “They are the future for our sports,” she said. “We have to get those kids outside and away from the video games.” How does Fitzsimons like her job as a wildlife biologist for the IDNR? “I love it,” she said. “It is the dream job for me. I worked a long time to get here, and I am glad that I am. This is the kind of job that I’d do for free, but I am really glad I am getting paid to do it.”

She tried ice fishing for the first time this winter and caught this walleye. north side of ponds will warm more quickly than the other sides. I have had reports of muskie hitting on the Fox River the better fishing has been down by Montgomery. Some walleye are showing up at the McHenry, Algonquin and Carpentersville Dams.

Man long ignored by family Healthy Eating Plate offers wants to return the favor more nutrition information Dear Abby: I am the youngest of three boys. When I was growing up, my brothers didn’t have much to do with me. At times they were cruel, mocked my interests and made fun of my friends. At 19 I moved into the dorms, even though I was attending college locally. My professional life took me away from my hometown for 25 years. Both brothers pretty much ignored me, except for calls on my birthday, filled with awkward silence because we didn’t know each other well enough to talk about anything. I lived abroad for long periods, and even though I sent emails and postcards, I never heard anything from them in reply. Now I live back in my hometown and I am expected to participate in holiday and family events because “it’s family.” Please give me the words to use to refuse invitations I do not want, from a family who made it clear they had no use for me for so long. – Wary In Wisconsin Dear Wary: Give the following standard refusal: “Thank you for wanting to include me, but I already have other plans.” No one can argue with that. I do, however, suggest you choose one holiday a year to spend

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips with your “family” as a way of maintaining minimal contact. That way they can’t accuse you of snubbing them. Dear Abby: Three widowed friends of mine still have their late husbands’ voices on their answering machines. I think it’s spooky and in really bad taste. Is there any way to gently suggest to them they change their greeting to one in their own voices or an anonymous one? I’m a widow, too, and I wouldn’t think of leaving my greeting that way. – Flabber-

gasted In Florida Dear Flabbergasted: Different strokes for different folks. Has it not occurred to you these ladies not only do not find the sound of their late husbands’ voices the least bit spooky, but they might call their own numbers in order to hear it? They also may feel safer having a male voice answer their phone. Because you find it upsetting, consider texting or emailing them instead. Dear Readers: The departments of psychiatry and

medicine at Tufts Medical Center want to learn more about the impact caregiving has on family members and friends of people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Because family members and friends of individuals with mental illness play a large part in providing care – while also balancing jobs and other life responsibilities – the physicians and research scientists at Tufts are asking you to share the impact caregiving has on different aspects of your life, including your ability to work and your health and well-being. This information will be used to improve services to caregivers and the people they support. If you are interested in participating in this study, please visit tinyurl.com/ tuftscaregiver. Participation in this study is voluntary and involves completing an anonymous survey. Dear Abby readers are the most generous and caring folks in the world, and I hope some of you are willing to help with this project.

Dear Dr. K: Is a healthy diet still based on the food guide pyramid? Is there a better alternative? Dear Reader: Twenty years ago, the USDA created its food guide pyramid. This symbol featured fats and oils at the tip and breads and grains at its base, with fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy in between. The pyramid was meant to convey, in a simple illustration, everything needed to build a healthful diet. But the original pyramid, as well as the updated 2005 version, was easy to misinterpret. For example, some people thought the top foods were most important, rather than the other way around. The pyramids didn’t provide enough details about healthful food choices within each category. They made no distinction, for example, between fatty red meat and lean fish. What’s more, the pyramid proportions were not always based on the most recent scientific evidence. As a result, in 2011 the USDA introduced a totally new icon called MyPlate. Experts from the Harvard School of Public Health and the Harvard Health Publications Division of Harvard Medical School then created

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff an even better alternative. It is based on a wealth of nutrition research. (I’ve put an illustration of the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate on my website, www. askdoctork.com.) You can use the plate as a guide to distributing foods on your own plate. Of course, not every meal will look like the Healthy Eating Plate. But your meals over the course of the day can reflect these proportions. Here is what’s on the plate: • A full half of the plate contains fruits and vegetables. • A quarter of the plate is whole grains (not just any grain, as in the USDA version). • The final quarter is healthful sources of protein such as fish, beans, nuts, seeds, poultry and eggs. • A bottle on the left side is a reminder to use healthy oils, such as olive and canola. Limit butter and avoid unhealthy trans fats. • A glass on the right side is a reminder to drink low- or no-calorie liquids, limit milk

and juice, and avoid sugary drinks. • At the bottom is a reminder to stay active for health and to maintain a normal weight. We talk about healthy eating a lot in this column. That’s because you ask a lot of questions about it. It’s not unusual for my patients to ask me: “Is there really scientific evidence behind all this advice about a healthy diet?” There have been studies involving millions of people whose diet and health have been followed for decades. We can say with confidence people who eat according to these guidelines reduce their risk of several diseases that can shorten life and diminish its quality. The Harvard Healthy Eating Plate is sound information. As nutrition researchers uncover more information over time, I’m sure the Healthy Eating Plate will undergo some changes to reflect important new evidence. But even if not perfect, it contains information you can bank on.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Girl’s less-than-perfect reputation can disappear in time Dr. Wallace: I’m dating a girl who has a less-than-perfect reputation. I knew this when I asked her out. I had a class with her last semester, and I thought she was very bright and attractive. On our very first date, we talked about her reputation, and she said she didn’t want to go into all the details, but she has changed and wanted to completely forget her history. We’ve been dating for more than a month, and I really like her. We’ve had great times together, and she has been a perfect lady. And though I’m no angel, I’ve been a perfect gentleman and I treat her with respect. My problem is all the guys I hang around with (we’re all football and basketball

‘TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace players) are really on my case because I’m dating this girl. And to make things worse, a couple of these guys have gone out with her and they think I’m going out with her because of sex, but that’s not true. I think she is not only attractive but really intelligent, and she has a wonderful sense of humor. She behaves like a lady and I’m considering asking her to go steady with me. What can I say when my friends keep asking me why I’m “really” going out with

her? So far I have not given any answer. – Football Play-

er, Dallas Football Player: Just be honest. When they continue to press you for information, tell them the truth. She acts like a lady, she’s good-looking and intelligent and you care for her so much you will be dating her for a long time. Eventually, they’ll realize you mean it and the crude remarks will stop. Sadly, a bad reputation, deserved or undeserved, can be slow to disappear. But, in time, it will. Dr. Wallace: My parents are divorced, and I live with my mom. She’s 34, and I’m 17. My mom started dating this guy about four months ago, and he started living

with us about a month later. Then just last week, they got into a big fight and my mom told him to “Get out, and stay out,” so he left that day. When he was leaving he told me I could call him. This guy is only five years older than I am, and I really like him. I’m going to be 18 in a month. Would it be all right if I call him now, but wait until I’m 18 to see him? I really don’t know what I should do. – Nameless,

Sulphur, Louisiana Nameless: Do not contact this guy now, or ever. He is 100 percent off limits. Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, married and the mother of a beautiful 3-month-old son. My husband and I want to be the best possible parents to our son and

to any children who follow him. Both my parents and my husband’s were considered bad parents because they never gave us direction and never really cared what we did. Luckily, we both turned out to be good citizens anyway. We don’t want to take any chances with our children, and that’s why we’re writing to you. We’d like to hear what you consider the most important things we should do to be the best possible parents and raise our children to be honest, law-abiding citizens. I plan to cut your column out and tape it to our refrigerator as a constant reminder. – Mother, Michigan City,

dozen valuable rules of wise parenting, but three of the most important are: • Lead by example. Children are very observant. They notice what you do far more than they pay attention to what you say. Your behavior and lifestyle will greatly influence theirs. • Be a good listener. Listen carefully to what your children are saying. Most of us have no trouble talking, but while we’re busy working our jaws, we sometimes forget to use our eyes and ears or our hearts. • Most importantly, give unconditional love every second of every day.

Indiana Mother: I could list five

PRINCE HARRY TO JOIN WOUNDED TROOPS ON TREK

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, March 19, 2015 • Section C • Page 10

LONDON – Prince Harry is leaving the army, but he’s not giving up his work with wounded troops. The prince said he plans to join service members for part of a 1,000-mile trek around Britain. The prince Wednesday met four men and a woman planning the Walk of Britain, and announced he would be joining them for a small part of the journey later this year. The trek is organized by Walking with the Wounded, a charity that helps injured veterans move into civilian life. Harry, who is fourth in line to the throne, will leave the British Army in June after a 10-year career that included two stints in Afghanistan.

Donald Trump speaks Jan. 24, 2014, in Des Moines, Iowa. Trump announced plans Wednesday to form a presidential exploratory committee. “I am the only one who can make America truly great again,” the Republican businessman and reality television star declared in a statement announcing the move.

Trump launching presidential exploratory committee WASHINGTON – Donald Trump announced plans Wednesday to form a presidential exploratory committee. “I am the only one who can make America truly great again,” the Republican businessman and reality television star declared in a statement announcing the move. While a step short of a formal campaign launch, the formation of an exploratory allows him to begin raising money and hire staff as he weighs a White House bid. Trump said he’s already hired political aides in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, which host the first three contests on the presidential nominating calendar. “I have a great love for our country, but it is a country that is in serious trouble,” Trump said in a wide-ranging statement that called for rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure, improving border security, strengthening the military and improving the economy. “Americans deserve better than what they get from their politicians who are all talk and no action.” The outspoken Republican has long hinted at presidential aspirations, but he appears more serious this time. He recently said he would not renew his contract with NBC for his reality show, “The Apprentice.” Trump is scheduled to appear in New Hampshire later in the week.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Authorities have charged a North Carolina man with first-degree murder in the deaths of a former contestant from the TV show “Food Network Star,” her husband and their unborn child. Robert Jason Owens is being held without bond in the deaths of Cristie Schoen Codd, 38, and Joseph “J.T.” Codd, 45, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported Wednesday. Cristie Codd was originally from Biloxi, Mississippi, and had worked as a movie-set caterer. She was a contestant on “Food Network Star” during its eighth season. Owens, 36, did odd jobs for the couple at their home in the small mountain community of Leicester, Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan said. They were reported missing by family members on Sunday, after their cherished dogs were found alone in the house. Investigators wouldn’t disclose where or when the couple’s bodies were found, though search warrants in the case said they may have been killed Thursday.

Next Spielberg film 1st in decades without score by Williams NEW YORK – The next Steven Spielberg will be missing a familiar sound: a score by John Williams. For the first time in three decades, a Spielberg-directed film won’t be scored by Williams. DreamWorks Pictures announced Wednesday that Spielberg’s upcoming Cold War thriller “Bridge of Spies” will be scored by Thomas Newman. Williams had previously been signed on to the movie, but is departing, DreamWorks said, because of a minor health issue that has since been corrected. The last feature film Spielberg made without Williams was 1985’s “The Color Purple,” which Quincy Jones scored. Williams will still score Spielberg’s following film, the Roald Dahl adaption “The BFG.”

“Bridge of Spies,” to be released Oct. 16, stars Tom Hanks as a Brooklyn lawyer tasked to negotiate the release of a captured pilot.

Rhode Island governor defends 2nd-home ‘Taylor Swift tax’ PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The governor of Rhode Island is defending a proposed luxury tax for pricey second homes that has been dubbed the “Taylor Swift tax.” Gov. Gina Raimondo said she wants to raise nearly $12 million by implementing a statewide property tax on second homes worth more than $1 million. Grammy winner Swift has a beachfront mansion in Westerly, Rhode Island. Raimondo said the tax policies she proposed in her budget will create jobs. She is seeking to eliminate a $190 million deficit while implementing no new broad-based tax changes. The Rhode Island Association of Realtors says the tax could discourage future buyers from purchasing vacation homes in Rhode Island. Raimondo said she doesn’t think it will impact buyers’ decisions. She said Newport still is a bargain compared with Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Fellow Beatle McCartney ushering Ringo into rock hall NEW YORK – Paul McCartney has agreed to induct his former Beatles mate, Ringo Starr, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month. Stevie Wonder, Patti Smith and John Mayer will also usher in new members, the hall announced Wednesday. The 30th annual induction ceremony is scheduled for Cleveland’s Public Hall on April 18. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Cleveland. The Beatles are in the rock hall already, and so are McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison as solo artists. Drummer Starr is the last to be honored individually, and Eagle Joe Walsh will perform some of his friend’s music.

Cutting the costs of home ownership Owning a home is a dream for many people. But even the most affordable homes can be a considerable expense, which is why many homeowners are on constant lookout for ways to cut the costs of home ownership. Men and women who have owned their homes for years may already know of various ways they can save money each month. But first-time homeowners may not be so savvy, which can leave them scrambling for ways to save each month. Fortunately, homeowners can reduce the cost of owning their homes in a variety of ways. • Refinance your mortgage. The average homeowner would point to his or her mortgage payment as his or her biggest monthly expense. First-time homeowners may assume

they have no leeway with regard to lowering that payment, but that’s not necessarily true. Interest rates fluctuate every day, and homeowners might be able to take advantage of that fluctuation by refinancing their mortgages to earn lower interest rates. Depending on the amount of the loan, a homeowner might be able to save hundreds of dollars per month and tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan after refinancing his or her mortgage. Research current interest rates to determine if refinancing is in your best interest. • Reexamine your insurance policy.

When borrowing money to buy a home, borrowers need to have homeowner’s insurance. It’s easy to forget these policies and simply pay the premium each month. But homeowners looking to save money should periodically reexamine their policies and compare these existing policies to

those they might be able to get from other providers. Comparison shopping can save homeowners substantial amounts of money. Homeowners willing to purchase their homeowners and auto insurance policies from the same provider also can save a considerable amount of money, sometimes as much as 15 percent depending on the provider.

• Purchase eco-friendly appliances for your home. The appliances in your home at the time of purchase will inevitably wear down, and replacing such items can be expensive. But replacing older appliances with more eco-friendly alternatives can save you money on your monthly utility bills, as more and more appliances are now made with energy savings in mind. Cutting your energy consumption leads to lower utility bills, and you may even be eligible for government rebates when buying products that meet certain energy-saving standards.

• Make safety upgrades. Another way to cut the cost of home ownership is to upgrade your home’s safety features. Many insurance companies offer discounts to homeowners who install alarm systems, sprinklers or storm shutters in their homes. But homeowners should confirm their eligibility for such discounts before making any upgrades, as policies may differ depending on the provider.

The cost of home ownership is on the rise, but homeowners can take several steps to alleviate those costs.

HOMElife How to hide the TV when it’s not in use People have a love affair with their electronics, which play an integral role at households across the globe. Statistics from Nielsen’s Television Audience Report indicate that the average American household has 2.86 television sets, despite having just 2.5 people. It is also estimated that those in the U.S. will have watched the equivalent of 9 years’ worth of TV by the age of 65. Canadians spend 1,500 hours each year watching TV, and 128,000 Canadians have a TV in the bathroom. Though TVs are located throughout the typical household, homeowners don’t always appreciate the look of a TV and how it fits in with their design scheme. That is why many seek ways to camouflage a television when it is not in use. There are many ways to mask a television when not in use. Homeowners can explore different options, depending on their particular budget and the available space.

decoration. Many times the TV is recessed into the wall, and the canvas or mirror is mounted on a device that can move it out of the way to reveal the screen.

have $10,000 lying around can purchase a mounting device that stores the TV under the bed, and then raises it into position at the foot of the bed with the touch of a remote control.

• Furniture: Television armoires and cabinetry are some of the most basic ways to hide a TV. The unit is housed behind doors that are closed when the TV is not on and can be opened and recessed when it’s time to watch a show. These pieces of furniture can match other items in the room and create a flawless appeal.

• On the move: There are mechanisms that can lower or raise a TV from a hidden location, whether in the floor or ceiling. The TV can descend or ascend vertically, or a hinged device can flip the TV up or down, depending on need, much like a small LCD television that mounts on the underside of a kitchen cabinet.

• Track TV: With a system of trackwork, a television can swivel out of a hiding spot in a closet, cabinet or soffit and move into position on a pole connected to the track. Both manual and motorized tracks can be installed for a few hundred dollars.

• Cover up: Wall-hung flat screen televisions can be camouflaged with a piece of artwork or another wall

• Under the bed: People have long embraced the under-the-bed storage options, but what about using that space for a TV? Homeowners who

• Canvas cover: A less expensive option than some of the motorized devices available, a shade or tapestry on a manual device (think the window shades that you tug and the shade rolls up onto itself) can also conceal

a television. Lower or raise the shade as needed. • Smaller scale: Smaller TVs are easier to camouflage. Think scale when placing a TV in a bedroom, bathroom or kitchen. Simple decor accessories may do the trick of hiding the TV from view. Although most people can’t get enough of their television viewing, the caveat is they don’t want the television to be an eyesore when not in use. Different concealment strategies can help mask a TV when it is not in use.
