Would-be GOP leaders optimistic Group thinks it has enough votes to shift control in county

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Four Republicans who hope to assume control of the county GOP’s Central Committee believe they have more than enough votes to do so after Tuesday’s primary results.

Voters who went to the polls to choose their candidates for

the November election also elected their party’s committeemen for the county’s 212 voting precincts. Those committeemen, Republican and Democratic, will caucus April 16 to elect their respective parties’ executive officers.

The Republican slate won some contested precincts and lost others but has more than

enough to take control, said Andrew Gasser, the hopeful for the vice chairman seat.

Running for chairwoman is outgoing County Board member Sandra Fay Salgado, while County Board member Diane Evertsen is running for secretary, and County Board candidate Charles Wheeler is running for treasurer.

They hope to reinvigorate a party apparatus they allege has become lax and ineffective and turn it into an aggressive get-out-the-vote operation.

The group has sold itself as an umbrella organization encompassing diverse ideas and has expressly stated it will run this election on fiscal issues and put aside social issues,

CHICAGO – In cities and rural areas throughout Illinois, hospitals are extending services beyond their walls in a twin bid to improve health and capture more business.

With “consumer convenience” and “retail approach” the new buzzwords, hospitals are branching out. Fitness centers, urgent care clinics and dental practices run by hospitals are no longer unusual ventures.

A new report details the changing health care landscape, finding two out of five Illinois hospitals operate freestanding outpatient clinics and one in three run fitness centers. The trend began years ago and got a boost from the nation’s new health care law, which provides financial incentives to hospitals that keep large populations healthy – and penalties to those that fail.

In Jerseyville, 80-year-old retiree Margie Meuth drives a mile to exercise at Jersey Community Hospital’s fitness center. When the $3 million center was built 15 years ago, it was a bold move for the Illinois hospital serving a rural area an hour north of St. Louis. Now, executives from other hospitals seek Jersey’s advice about opening their own fitness facilities where future patients can lift weights, swim laps and do aerobics.

“The center has really helped keep me active,” said Meuth, who takes a dance-fitness class for seniors.

By the numbers A new report released by the Illinois Hospital Association lists services provided in 2012 by hospitals or through a hospital’s joint venture:

53 percent of Illinois hospitals provided hospice services.

41 percent provided ambulance services.

41 percent provided freestanding outpatient care.

35 percent provided home health care.

34 percent operated fitness centers.

33 percent provided dentistry.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

RIP to Dillard’s 20-year gov campaign and Quinn’s luck I feel uncouth in comparing the Republican primary matchup of Bruce Rauner versus Kirk Dillard to a lowbrow Adam Sandler comedy about golf.

But as God as my witness, Dillard was Shooter McGavin.

McGavin was the antagonist in the 1996 movie “Happy Gilmore” – a longtime golf insider who believed that his turn finally had come to win the PGA Tour, until an outsider entered the race, won and ruined everything for him.

“Let’s get one thing straight – this is Shooter’s tour. I’ve worked hard my whole life, paid my dues, and now it’s Shooter’s turn!”

The voters, as it turns out, felt differently. They went with Rauner, the super-wealthy Winnetka venture capitalist.

Dillard, who has been jockeying for the governor’s mansion since my fellow reporters were watching “Sesame Street,” felt a sense of entitlement that it was his turn. It’s easy to get that impression after Dillard took money from public-sector unions, knowing full well that their support would evaporate upon Rauner’s defeat.

Boasting about support from teacher’s unions and AFSCME in a Republican primary makes about as much sense to me as toasting the Queen in an Irish pub. He didn’t collect endorsements so much as he collected conservative kisses of death. The Illinois Education Association, the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, and AFSCME Council 31 threw their support, and money, behind Dillard.

To Dillard’s credit, it almost worked.

He closed the gap in the polls last Tuesday evening to within 2.7 percent, likely aided by lousy turnout and some Democratic crossover votes.

To Dillard’s detriment, taking money and support he knew would immediately go to Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn upon his victory speech smacked of desperation that would affect the future of Illinois. Big Labor backed Dillard

VIEWS Kevin Craver because he wasn’t Rauner – or as they call him, Beelzebub – and Dillard just happened to be the closest to him in the polls. No reasonable person can believe for a second that Dillard was unaware of that political reality.

That means that Dillard put personal ambition ahead of a chance to defeat an unpopular governor who has helmed a sinking ship of a state. Because this was supposed to be Shooter’s tour. He worked hard his whole life, paid his dues, and it was Shooter’s turn.

Except it wasn’t.

Dillard’s aspirations aren’t the only thing that died Tuesday evening. So did Quinn’s amazing streak of political luck.

Polls showed Attorney General Lisa Madigan would have eaten him for lunch in the primary, but she never ran.

Former White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley entered the race, but promptly dropped out, likely upon looking at a map and concluding that there’s a whole lot of Illinois outside of Chicago.

Quinn had a challenger in Chicago anti-violence activist Tio Hardiman.

Who, you say? Good question. Here’s your answer: Hardiman’s the candidate whose campaign ended 2013 with $553.80 in the bank compared to Quinn’s war chest of $4.5 million, but managed to get 28 percent of the vote.

That’s what we in the journalism business call a “protest vote.” It’s what they call in the Quinn for Illinois campaign, “uh oh.”

Quinn’s going to face Rauner, who has oodles of funds – his own and those of others – with which to campaign. And Rauner the social moderate has broken the losing mold of the GOP gubernatorial candidate conservative enough to win the primary but too conservative to win a blue-state election.

But people who underestimate

WASHINGTON – What’s on the new Common Core-based exams? More than 4 million kids in U.S. schools soon will have a clue.

Field testing begins this coming week in 36 states and the District of Columbia on assessments developed by two different groups of states.

Participating students will be asked to sit for hours in front of a computer or use a No. 2 pencil to answer questions.

But there’s no need for kids to worry. The scores won’t count, this time. The actual exam-testing won’t be used for another year.

The Common Core standards spell out what math and English skills students should have at each grade, and are designed to develop more critical thinking skills than traditional school work. They were first pushed by governors concerned about the large number of high school graduates needing remedial college help and lacking basic skills. Most states have adopted them.

ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Paula Dudley pdudley@shawmedia.com

Quinn’s campaign skills because of his reputation as an inept leader do so at their own peril. He’s a scrapper, and he came out swinging the morning after Rauner won with attack ads highlighting Rauner as an effete millionaire who is out of touch with the Illinois working man.

While political junkies may be watching how Quinn is positioning himself for November, I’ve been watching how his ads and rhetoric for how he’s going to present the Illinois budget this Wednesday.

Quinn was supposed to deliver the 2015 budget address last month, but Democratic lawmakers let him push it back to the week after the primary.

Which of course had nothing to do with figuring out who he was going to run against in November. Heck, no.

The $64,000 question has been whether Quinn will finally take a position on whether the “temporary” 67 percent income tax increase should be allowed to start expiring Jan. 1 as scheduled.

But since Rauner won Tuesday, state Democratic leadership has gone all-in on the class warfare angle.

Quinn’s words and ads aside, House Speaker Michael Madigan is asking for a 3 percent “millionaire tax,” and a Senate committee advanced a bill to make the state minimum wage, already the Midwest’s highest, the nation’s highest. And of course, there’s that push to replace the flat tax with a progressive one.

In short, I think they already answered that $64,000 question. And it might be the least of Illinois taxpayers’ worries by the time Quinn finishes his Wednesday address.

Hold on to your wallets, boys and girls. As for me, I’m seriously contemplating booby-trapping mine.

hope the field tests provide an opportunity to highlight the best of Common Core.

“There’s been a lot of talk and a lot of planning and it’s actually happening, which I think generates some excitement and some reality, if you will, for the fact that this is moving ahead,” said Jeffrey Nellhaus, director of research, policy and design with the consortium Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. Joe Willhoft, the executive director of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, told reporters there will be snags, and that’s in part due to the nature of what a field test is – a test run and an opportunity to see what works and doesn’t. Already, out of concern there would be technical problems, Smarter Balanced delayed by a week to this week the start of its field tests.

“We have a saying in Smarter Balanced that if nothing goes wrong in the field test, then actually we have failed,” Willhoft said.

Commission: ‘Sweepstakes’ State lawmakers investigate games should be outlawed drop in deer population

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – An anti-crime group is backing legislation in the Illinois General Assembly that would outlaw “sweepstakes” machines that the group said are illegal video gambling devices – unregulated and inviting to organized crime.

The Chicago Crime Commission, a nonpartisan group of civic leaders that works to improve public safety and the justice system, has planned a news conference Sunday to lend its support to a measure sponsored by Sen. Antonio “Tony” Munoz, a Chicago Democrat. It would remove a provision in existing law that allows for unlicensed gambling devices if they are used in nongambling activities.

Sweepstakes or coupon machines resemble video gam-

bling kiosks in bars, restaurants, convenience stores and elsewhere, Art Bilek, executive vice president of the crime commission, told The Associated Press on Saturday.

But unlike state-regulated video gambling operations, none of the money goes to help local or state governments and no one associated with the machines must undergo a criminal background check. That’s an open door for organized crime, Bilek said.

“The last thing we want is for the Outfit, who’s down pretty low thanks to the FBI, to start getting all this ... money back in their veins,” Bilek said.

“Here’s a machine, now, that has no rules.”

Supporters of the machines said they don’t offer gambling, but a coupon that can be redeemed for prizes. In a notice posted on the Illinois Gaming Board website declaring the op-

erations illegal, the board notes that courts in eight states, including Indiana and Ohio, have rejected this argument.

The board notice said when a patron puts money in a sweepstakes kiosk, it offers a coupon that can be combined with cash to buy a prize on a company website. It also offers wagering credits that can be used to play sweepstakes games, which look like casino-style slots. The patron can cash out by pushing a button and redeeming a coupon with his points on it.

Representatives from a Georgia-based company, PaceO-Matic Inc., that manufactures gambling machines could not be reached for comment Saturday.

Munoz said players can lose money in the machines, but they’re not alone.

“The state of Illinois is a loser as well,” Munoz said in a statement provided to the AP.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BELLEVILLE – Illinois state lawmakers are getting involved in an effort to find out why the latest deer-hunting season saw such a decline in harvested animals and whether action is needed to increase the deer population.

Members of the Legislature’s downstate caucus have met with Department of Natural Resources managers to discuss the issue, said state Rep. Jerry Costello.

“We’re going to try to do something to increase the deer population,” the Democrat from Smithton told the Belleville News-Democrat.

“What we’re trying to do, in conjunction with DNR, is to find a way to realistically manage the deer herd to a

number that makes sense.”

The 2013-2014 deer harvest was 148,569. That was a substantial drop from nearly 181,000 the previous season.

“I heard a lot of complaints [from customers] about low deer numbers,” said Monty Hoffarth, manager at Town Hall Archery in Belleville in southwest Illinois. “They were saying it was way down.”

Costello said the DNR told lawmakers the state may have overshot an earlier management goal for bringing down deer overpopulation. The higher numbers were blamed for increased crop damage on farms and highway accidents.

The DNR might now adjust the deer-hunting seasons and regulations to increase deer numbers in some areas, Costello said.

“I would expect a reduction or possibly elimination of the late-season antlerless, and a possible reduction in the unlimited doe-only permits,” he said.

The agency has not yet decided on specific changes while it waits for totals from the Department of Transportation on deer-vehicle collisions, an indicator of population trends, said spokesman Chris Young.

But DNR Director Marc Miller has said the agency will be looking to increase the deer population in some counties.

Biologists say regulations and permit quotas can be adjusted to allow deer population growth in 41 counties, including Washington, Marion, Clinton, Bond, Jefferson and Fayette, the newspaper reported.

‘Obamacare’ plans bring big fees for some drugs

By KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press MIAMI – Breast cancer survivor Ginny Mason was thrilled to get health coverage under the Affordable Care Act despite her pre-existing condition. But when she realized her arthritis medication fell under a particularly costly tier of her plan, she was forced to switch to another brand.

Under the plan, her Celebrex would have cost $648 a month until she met her $1,500 prescription deductible, followed by an $85 monthly co-pay.

Mason is one of the many Americans with serious illnesses – including cancer, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis – who are indeed

finding relatively low monthly premiums under President Barack Obama’s law. But some have been shocked at how much their prescriptions are costing as insurers are sorting drug prices into a complex tier system and in some cases charging co-insurance rates as high as 50 percent. That can leave patients on the hook for thousands.

“I was grateful for the Affordable Care Act because it didn’t turn me down but ... it’s like where’s the affordable on this one,” said Mason, a 61-yearold from West Lafayette, Indiana, who currently pays an $800 monthly premium.

Before the federal health law took effect, Mason paid slightly more for her monthly premium

on a plan that didn’t cover her arthritis or pain medications and some routine doctor’s visits.

Avalere Health, a market research and consulting firm, estimates some consumers will pay half the cost of their specialty drugs under health overhaul-related plans, while customers in the private market typically pay no more than a third. Patient advocates worry that insurers may be trying to discourage chronically ill patients from enrolling by putting high cost drugs onto specialty tiers.

Brian Rosen, senior vice president for public policy for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, said the group studied premiums and benefits for

patients with blood cancer in seven states, including Florida, California, Texas and New York. They found 50 percent co-insurance rates for specialty drugs on several plans in Florida and Texas, while the highest co-insurance rates on California plans were 30 percent and in New York, co-pays were typically $70.

Under the law, insurers can’t charge an individual more than $6,350 in out-of pocket costs a year and no more than $12,700 for a family policy.

But patients advocates warn those with serious illnesses could pay their entire out-ofpocket cap before their insurance kicks in any money.

“The challenge is for the sickest patients, the ones that

need access to these specialty drugs, the costs are going to come in most cases from that out-of-pocket cap ... they are likely to hit that $6,350 ceiling and in some cases quickly,” said Rosen.

Insurers say prescription drugs are one of the main reasons health care costs are rising.

“Spending on specialty drugs is growing rapidly. It’s unsustainable,” said Clare Krusing, spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, a trade group that represents the private insurance industry.

Only 1 percent of prescriptions written in 2012 were for specialty drugs, but they accounted for 25 percent of the

total cost of prescription drugs, according to a study by America’s Health Insurance Plans.

Insurers can generally choose to put whichever drugs they want into the specialty tier of a plan. Generic drugs for blood pressure or cholesterol typically fall into categories that require patients to pay less than $20 out-of-pocket. But patients can end up spending significantly more when they pay for a percentage of a specialty drug’s cost. Two of the most frequently prescribed specialty drugs in recent years include the cancer drug Avastin, with an $11,000 average annual price per patient, or the hypertension drug Letairis, which costs $32,000 per year, according to health insurers.

Nuclear Security Summit and head a hastily arranged meeting of the Group of Seven – the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.

The latter meeting will focus on boosting financial support for Ukraine’s fledgling government, while also serving as a symbol of the West’s efforts to isolate Moscow. Russia often joins the G-7 nations for Group of Eight meetings, including a summit Putin is supposed to host this summer.

Those plans are now in doubt.

Russia is participating in the nuclear summit, but Putin will not attend. He’s sending Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to The Hague.

Obama’s focus on Ukraine will continue in Brussels, the headquarters for the EU and NATO. A later stop in Rome will feature a highly anticipated meeting with Pope Francis.

Then it’s on to Saudi Arabia for a fence-mending visit with the important Gulf ally.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s complex relationship with Europe faces new challenges during a weeklong trip as he tries to persuade allied leaders to hold firm in efforts to punish Russia for its incursion into Ukraine.

The deepening dispute between East and West is expected to dominate his visit to Europe, which begins Monday in the Netherlands. The four-country trip was longplanned, but now provides the U.S. and Europe a well-timed chance to present a united front against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But behind the scenes, Obama will be gauging how far the still economically shaky European Union is willing to go in punishing Russia, one of its largest trading partners.

He’ll also be confronted with other European frustrations

with the U.S. that are bubbling just below the surface.

Some European officials, chief among them German Chancellor Angela Merkel, are still smarting over revelations of National Security Agency spying on the continent. There’s also lingering resentment among EU leaders over what it sees as Obama’s snubbing of the alliance.

“There’s an anger there, President there’s a frusBarack tration there,” Obama said Heather Conley, a Europe expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She added that while the Ukraine crisis may “mute” some of Europe’s irritation with Obama, “it doesn’t solve it.”

The court’s order was posted just a few hours after it told the winning side to respond to Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette’s request for a stay by noon Tuesday.

In his appeal, Schuette noted the U.S. Supreme Court in January suspended a similar decision that struck down Utah’s gay-marriage ban.

Voters approved the gay marriage ban in a landslide in 2004. But in Friday’s historic decision, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman said the ballot box is no defense to a law that tramples the rights of same-sex couples.

Schuette’s spokeswoman, Joy Yearout, said Saturday that a stay would preserve a state constitutional ban pending the appeal’s outcome. She declined to say whether the state would recognize the new marriages in that scenario.

“The courts will have to sort it out,” she said.

Rt. 25

MASON, Mich. – Same-sex couples rushed to Michigan county clerk’s offices Saturday to get hitched a day after a judge overturned the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage, and several hundred managed to do so before an appeals court reinstituted the ban, at least temporarily.

The order by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati came after Glenna DeJong, 53, and Marsha Caspar, 51, of Lansing, were the first to arrive at the Ingham County Courthouse in the central Michigan city of Mason. DeJong and Caspar, who have been together for 27 years, received their license and were married by Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum.

“I figured in my lifetime it would happen,” Caspar said.

“But now, when it happens now, it’s just overwhelming.

I still can’t believe it. I don’t think it’s hit me yet.”

Similar nuptials followed one after another, at times en masse, in at least four of Michigan’s 83 counties. Those four – Oakland, Muskegon, Ingham and Washtenaw counties – issued more than 300 marriage licenses to same-sex couples Saturday.

DeJong said that threat was all the encouragement they needed.

“Come Monday, we might not be able to do it, so we knew we had a short window of time,” she said.

She was right. Later Saturday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals froze until at least Wednesday a decision by a lower court judge to overturn Michigan’s ban. The appeals court said the time-out will “allow a more reasoned consideration” of the state’s request to stop same-sex marriages.

Appeals court judge halts gay marriages in Mich.

by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Ferrara, the bearded Abu Ghaith testified that bin Laden seemed worried that night. The next morning, Abu Ghaith said, he saw bin Laden with an al-Qaida military leader, Abu Hafs al-Masri, and current al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri at breakfast, and bin Laden invited him to join them.

He said bin Laden told him: “Now, after these events ... it’s a no-brainer to predict what is going to happen. What you expected may actually happen. And I want to deliver a message to the world. And Dr. Ayman also wants to deliver a message. I want you to deliver that message.”

Within two hours, the four men were posing in front of a rocky backdrop as Abu Ghaith spoke using what he said were “bullet points” provided by bin Laden that mixed verses from the Quran with justification for the terrorist attacks.

Less than 24 hours after a federal judge struck down Michigan’s ban on gay marriage Friday, an appeals court reinstituted the state’s ban.

NEW YORK – Osama bin Laden’s hours in a dark Afghanistan cave the evening of the Sept. 11 attacks were brought to light when his sonin-law testified in his own defense at his terrorism trial, portraying the al-Qaida leader as worried and apprehensive as he contemplated how America would respond.

The son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, said the al-Qaida leader asked him hours after the attacks what he thought would happen next.

“Politically, I said, America, if it was proven that you were the one who did this, will not settle until it accomplishes two things: to kill you and topple the state of the Taliban,” Abu Ghaith said he told him.

Bin Laden responded: “You’re being too pessimistic,” Abu Ghaith recalled in a discussion that he said went late into the night.

He said bin Laden had sent a messenger to pick him up earlier on Sept. 11 from a house in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he had watched the news unfold on television. He said bin Laden told him: “We are the ones who did it.”

He said he had met bin Laden only six or seven times previously before he was brought to the cave in a rough mountainous area.

The surprise testimony Wednesday by Abu Ghaith seemed to soften the image of the one-time Kuwaiti teacher and preacher known for fiery anti-American rhetoric on widely circulated post-attack videos until a prosecutor took his turn, eliciting damaging admissions from the 48-yearold defendant before showing a videotape on which Abu Ghaith spoke and included a hijacked plane slamming into a World Trade Center tower.

Kids in Detroit face challenges

By DAVID CRARY The Associated Press

AP photo

Kindergarten teacher Thao Tran helps student Brian Ho learn fish anatomy in Vietnamese in a dual immersion language class Feb. 14 at White Center Heights Elementary School in Seattle.

U.S. schools add Vietnamese to dual immersion The ASSOCIATED PRESS GARDEN GROVE, Calif. – When Thuy Vo Dang came to the U.S. as a young girl, her English took off. Her parents sent her to Vietnamese school on the weekends to learn her native language, but she eventually had to study it in graduate school to become fully literate.

Now, the 35-year-old mother of two and archivist for University of California, Irvine’s Southeast Asian Archive has been lobbying for her Southern California school district to start the state’s first dual immersion elementary school program in Vietnamese. She said she wants to help keep the language alive for the next generation.

“I can see how quickly they’re forgetting their Vietnamese,” Vo Dang said of her 7-year-old daughter and 3-yearold son. “I would love if this were available for him when he starts kindergarten.”

The move to expand the use of Vietnamese in so-called dual immersion programs comes as the children of refugees who fled the aftermath of the Vietnam War are coming of age and

striving to preserve the language for their American children. Nearly 1.9 million people of Vietnamese heritage live in the U.S., and a third were born here, according to census data.

In the past few years, schools in Texas and Washington have begun Vietnamese language dual immersion programs. Another is planned for Oregon in the fall and the Garden Grove Unified School District, which covers the area where Vo Dang lives, voted last month to consider starting a program in one of the country’s largest Vietnamese immigrant enclaves.

Dual immersion programs teach students subjects ranging from math to social studies in English and another language. Classes are usually split between English speakers and English learners so that children model the languages for each other and work in pairs and groups to help each other with assignments.

Instructional time is split between the two languages depending on the program design and the age of the students. Most programs start in kindergarten and run through elementary school.

DETROIT – In a city scarred by broken promises, the Moore brothers, James and Robert, and fellow student Chelsea Inyard are among the fortunate ones. The teenagers attend one of Detroit’s most promising new public schools.

Set in the medical district of the city’s Midtown neighborhood, Dr. Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine, just three years old, offers a rigorous curriculum, gung-ho teachers and gleaming facilities.

Yet beyond the campus is a city in the throes of the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, where life places special stresses on young people.

Teachers and parents are fighting to do right by the kids, and many believe Detroit is finally on the rise. Yet they worry about the toll of growing up amid danger, dysfunction and the blight epitomized by tens of thousands of abandoned homes.

“This is what we’re ingraining into kids’ psyches – this emptiness, the lack of safety,” said Tonya Allen, CEO of the Skillman Foundation, which backs many new, child-oriented initiatives. “They’re going into school with a level of fear that something bad is going to happen.”

Eighty-eight vacant school buildings are for sale – some of the 200 schools closed in recent years because of depopulation. High levels of gang violence and premature births combine to make the youth mortality rate the worst of any major U.S. city, according to a recent analysis by the Detroit News. Most of the city’s 300 parks are unusable, overgrown wastelands.

“Detroit is a very difficult place to be a child,” said Dan Varner, CEO of an education watchdog group called Excellent Schools Detroit.

Still, many young Detroiters speak hopefully of the fu-

Take, for instance, the Moore brothers, who live on Detroit’s northern boundary, about 10 miles from Ben Carson. Like many high school students, they rely for transport on the city’s crime-ridden, inefficient bus system.

“Some days, I don’t get home until 9 p.m.,” said Robert, a 16-year-old junior aspiring to a military career. He recounted the all-too-common phenomenon of overcrowded buses passing without stopping.

James, who’s 15, says his youth-league football team

was sometimes unable to play because field conditions were so bad – “tall grass, nasty bleachers, trash everywhere.”

Like most schools in Detroit, Ben Carson has an overwhelmingly African-American student body. More than 80 percent come from low-income families – not surprising in a city where the child poverty rate of 57 percent is triple the national figure.

“They need our arms wrapped around them,” said the principal, Brenda Belcher.

“It’s important to create a culture and climate to support them.”

Waiting in the school’s reception area on a recent day

was Michael Inyard, whose daughter, Chelsea, is a 10th grader. Unable to drive because his license is suspended, Inyard rides with her on the bus to and from school.

It’s a brutal schedule, given he works overnight at a Chrysler plant, but he considers the crowded buses too dangerous for Chelsea to ride alone.

“I’d be a bundle of nerves any other way, wondering what’s going on with her,” the father said.

Speaking generally about Detroit’s upcoming generation, he added, “These kids have a rough time. They’ve got to be on the alert for whatever, whenever.”

This acronym stands for annual fuel utilization efficiency. It is analogous to miles per gallon for your car. The higher the AFUE number, the more efficient the furnace or boiler. If a furnace is rated at 80% efficient, out of every dollar you spend on heat, 80 cents is useable heat and 20 cents is going up your chimney.

Obviously, the higher the efficiency, the cheaper it is to heat your home. Many of the older furnaces, especially if not maintained properly, may only be delivering 50% efficiency. The newer furnaces range from 80-98% efficient. You can easily see the cost savings by upgrading to one of these units. Any furnace over 92% efficiency also qualifies for gas company rebates up to $500.

Ryan’s poverty remarks distract from policy push The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Rep. Paul Ryan is making poverty a signature issue as he tries to broaden his appeal ahead of a possible presidential run in 2016. But in being more vocal about the issue, he’s had to defend himself and his message

against allegations of racism.

At issue are comments the 2012 Republican vice presidential candidate made during an interview last week on a conservative radio talk show in which he said, “We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just gen-

erations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work.”

He later called the remarks “inarticulate about the point I was trying to make,” but that hasn’t stopped Democrats from swarming against him. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., a member of the Congressional Black

Caucus, called Ryan’s comment a “thinly veiled racial attack.”

The stir highlights a potential peril for Ryan, now nearly two years removed from a failed national campaign and two years away from a potential 2016 presidential bid. The Wisconsin congressman had hoped his work on poverty

could be a positive: His interest in the issue dates back to his time as a speechwriter working for former vice-presidential nominee Jack Kemp.

He has spent much of his time since returning to Congress focused on the issue, touring poor precincts, giving speeches and producing a detailed,

205-page report on poverty, while indicating that he may introduce legislation to deal with the issue.

Instead, Ryan’s remark has brought negative attention to him, highlighted Republicans’ continued struggles to connect with minority voters and stepped on his own policy push.

Pope taps women, victims for anti-abuse group The ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis named the initial members of a commission to advise him on sex abuse policy Saturday, signaling an openness to reach beyond church officials to plot the commission’s course and priorities: Half of the members are women, and one was assaulted by a priest as a child.

The eight members were announced after Francis came under fire from victims’ groups for a perceived lack of attention to the abuse scandal, which has seriously damaged the Catholic Church’s reputation around the world and cost dioceses and religious orders billions of dollars in legal fees and settlements.

The Vatican in December announced that Francis would create the commission to advise the church on best policies to protect children, train church personnel and keep abusers out of the clergy. But no details had been released until Saturday and it remains unknown if the commission will deal with the critical issue of disciplining bishops who cover up for abusers.

In a statement, the Vatican hinted that it might, saying the commission would look into both “civil and canonical duties and responsibilities” for church personnel. Canon law does provide for sanctions if a bishop is negligent in carrying out his duties, but such punishments have never been imposed on a bishop for failing to report a pedophile priest to police.

The eight inaugural members include Marie Collins, who was assaulted as a 13-year-old by a hospital chaplain in her native Ireland and has gone on to become a prominent campaigner for accountability in the church.

Also named was Cardinal Sean O’Malley, one of Francis’ key advisers and the archbishop of Boston, where the U.S. scandal erupted in 2002.

Two other members are professors at Rome’s Jesuit Pontifical Gregorian University, which in 2012 hosted a seminar for bishops from around the world to educate them on best practices to protect children. Several participants from that conference are now founding members of Francis’ commission, including Baroness Sheila Hollins, a British psychiatrist.

During that 2012 conference, Collins told the bishops of her own ordeal, of the hospitalizations, anxiety and depression she endured after Irish church authorities didn’t believe her when she reported her attacker, and then blamed her for the assault.

“I was treated as someone with an agenda against the church, the police investigation was obstructed and the laity misled. I was distraught,” Collins said at the time, calling for bishops to be held accountable when they don’t report abusers to law enforcement.

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the institution of the commission was evidence that Francis believed “the church must hold the protection of minors among her highest priorities.”

Ukrainian servicemen leave the Novofedorivka base after it was stormed by crowds Saturday, some 30 miles west of Simferopol, Crimea.

Pro-Russian forces storm Ukrainian base in Crimea The ASSOCIATED PRESS BELBEK AIR BASE, Crimea – Ukraine’s armed forces took what may prove to be one of their final stands Saturday in Crimea, as pro-Russian forces stormed and seized control of an air force base amid a barrage of gunfire and explosions.

A tense blockade of the Belbek air base that has endured for more than a week looked set for an inevitable culmination following the seizure of one Ukrainian-held military facility after another in recent days.

It was the last major Ukrainian military facility in Crimea to fall into the hands of pro-Russian forces. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry hasn’t provided details of how many bases it still controls on the peninsula.

Crimea residents voted last week to secede from Ukraine and join Russia – a process that was formalized this week with the blessing of President Vladimir Putin. The vote, which was held under conditions akin to martial law under the gaze of apparently Moscow-led militia forces, has been rejected as illegitimate by the international community.

The assault on the Belbek base mirrored events at other

Ukrainian-held military facilities on the peninsula in recent days.

In footage provided by the Ukrainian Defense ministry, a Russian-made BTR-80 armored personnel carrier could be seen smashing open a front gate at Belbek, a base across the bay from the port city of Sevastopol.

APCs crashed through walls at two other locations and were followed by armed personnel, who advanced in crouching position as they secured the area.

Four BTR-80s were involved in the assault, Ukrainian officials said.

Ukrainian troops offered no resistance. Later, a separate motley group arrived at the scene. The crowd appeared to be made up of professional soldiers, members of a recently formed militia unit and Cossacks.

The cause of the explosions wasn’t immediately clear, although Ukrainian officials said there were stun grenades used to disperse any potential resistance.

Two ambulances arrived and then departed shortly after. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said one reporter and a Ukrainian soldier were injured in the raid.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Search planes headed back out to a desolate patch of the southern Indian Ocean on Sunday in hopes of finding answers to the fate of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, after China released a satellite image showing a large object floating in the search zone.

The object, which appeared to be 72 feet by 43 feet, was captured by satellite on

search area Sunday.

The maritime authority, which is overseeing the search in the region, said a civil aircraft reported seeing a number of small objects in the 14,000-square-mile area on Saturday, including a wooden pallet, but a New Zealand military plane diverted to the location found only clumps of seaweed. The agency said in a statement that searchers would keep trying to determine whether the objects are related to the lost plane.

Despite the frustrating lack of answers, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Sunday suggested the sightings were a positive development.

“Obviously we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope – no more than hope, no more than hope – that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen to this ill-fated aircraft,” Abbott told reporters in Papua New Guinea.

The government’s effort to shut down the service backfired Friday, with many finding ways to continue to tweet and

Central Committee election process starts as early as April 1 • GOP Continued from page A1 on Tuesday won his primary race for County Board. “If we held it today, we’d win. Comfortably.”

On the downside for the new group, it will not learn just how much weight each committeeman’s vote carries until about a week before the caucus when the county clerk certifies the primary results.

On the upside, two of the four executive members they seek to replace are stepping down, and a third has yet to commit.

Vice Chairman Mark Daniel, who is chairman of the Nunda Township Republican Central Committee, is running for the chairmanship because State Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, is stepping down, citing his increasing responsibilities as state representative for the 66th House District. He is running unopposed for another two-year term.

Daniel said he disagrees with Gasser’s assessment of the vote totals.

“In discussing with Chairman Tryon what we have, we feel we have enough votes to win,” Daniel said.

While both sides can make some very educated guesses at the moment, they won’t know for sure until the election results are made official.

The county Republican Party elects its leaders on a weighted vote – each precinct committeeman’s vote is equal to the number of GOP ballots cast by the precinct’s voters in the primary. The process under state law can start April 1 at the earliest to account for late absentee and provisional ballots and must be certified by the county clerk no later than April 8, or about a week before the party caucus.

“I would find it really hard for anyone to declare victory

before we get the canvass from the clerk,” Tryon said.

Daniel said he has been approached by other precinct committeemen who may be interested in running but said they have been independent requests and not an effort to run as a foil to the slate of newcomers.

Incumbent party Secretary Glenda Miller, who won the nomination for McHenry County treasurer Tuesday, said she is interested in possibly running for party treasurer but has yet to commit.

Treasurer Fred Wickham, like Tryon, is stepping down, citing other priorities. Wickham, a 30-year precinct committeeman, ran unopposed for another two-year term representing Grafton Township Precinct 7.

Tryon, Daniel and Wickham have chosen their words carefully since the new slate introduced itself in a well-attended Woodstock meet-andgreet before the primary. They support the group’s intentions and energy but said the group’s methods risk splitting the party.

“It seems to me it was a divisive action, unfortunately, and the Republican Party needs to remain strong,” Wickham said. “I’m not necessarily saying I’m unhappy with the people who are running, but I think the methodology they used was ill-advised at best.”

Gasser disagrees and repeated the slate’s allegation that the concerns they and like-minded party members have had have been consistently ignored.

“The [McHenry County] Republican Party is so broken right now. It doesn’t work. If you run as a Republican in the primary or the general election, you can count on almost no support from the Executive Committee. We plan to change that,” Gasser said.

To-do list includes tallying up bills, figuring out what needs to be done to compensate • BUDGETS Continued from page A1 to some of the work that the winter weather had pushed off.

Also on the to-do list is tallying up the bills and figuring out what, if anything, needs to be done to compensate.

With much of the snowfall coming on holidays and weekends, the city of Crystal Lake spent $176,000 this winter on overtime, 75 percent over what it had budgeted, Public Works Director Victor Ramirez said.

McHenry paid out $178,000 in overtime, more than double the $80,000 it had budgeted, said its director of public works, Jon Schmitt. The village of Spring Grove also spent twice what it normally does, Public Works Supervisor Matt Wittum said.

The McHenry County Division of Transportation also spent nearly double, said the

Hospitals contribute $83B to state said Scott Powder, Advocate senior vice president and chief strategy officer.

With 12 hospitals in the Chicago area, Advocate Health Care is partnering with retail pharmacies, keeping medical offices open nights and weekends and delivering more care in patients’ homes, even chemotherapy, Powder said.

“All the stuff outside of the hospital is up,” Powder said.

“The change is fairly substantial, and our expectation is that it’s only going to continue for the foreseeable future.”

On Chicago’s North Side, leaders at Swedish Covenant Hospital are pursuing a retail approach, aiming to open four to five urgent care and primary care centers next year.

The hospital recently invested $350,000 to launch a new medical office in a senior living residential tower several miles from its campus.

“The growth strategy is to focus on bringing services closer to the patient, closer to the consumer,” said Swedish Covenant Hospital CEO Mark Newton. Instead of “patients coming to us, we need to go to the patient.”

The Illinois Hospital Association report found that hospitals contribute $83.4 billion to the state’s economy in direct and indirect spending. In nearly half the state’s counties, hospitals are among the top three employers, writing paychecks to the equivalent of 200,226 fulltime workers and indirectly spurring employment for another 250,000 workers.

The association shared the report with The Associated Press ahead of its official release Monday. The report calculated hospitals’ economic benefit using a system developed by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Inpatient revenue, or dollars earned from hospital stays, is declining as a percentage of hospitals’ total revenue with outpatient services bringing in a bigger portion of the total. Last year, less than half of Advocate Health Care’s revenue came from inpatient care,

ing out trucks 111 times to deal with snow and ice, DeVries said. During a normal year, trucks are sent out on average 61 times.

“It was incredible that we were out every day,” he said.

“Some of that wasn’t because it was snowing, it was blowing.

You throw in the third coldest winter ever. We’re probably

going to hit the second snowiest winter.”

Each of those trips out also put wear and tear on the plows and burned gasoline.

The city of McHenry expects to come in on budget on vehicle maintenance, but its fuel consumption was “up quite a bit,” Schmitt said.

DeVries expects that he’ll probably have to go to the County Board to ask for additional spending authority to cover the overtime, fuel and vehicle maintenance, though he said he won’t know for sure until the county gets further into its fiscal year.

Unlike municipalities, which are wrapping up their fiscal year at the end of April, the county just started its fiscal year Dec. 1.

All the snow and ice also has meant more salt on the streets.

The city of Crystal Lake as well as the county had to purchase additional salt, and to

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-infl ammatory drug prescriptions.

Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain?

Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDAapproved treatment.

If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturallyoccurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, infl ammation and swelling of the joint.

Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s offi ce, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fi brous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fl uid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fl uid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint. Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

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

The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown.

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

they’ve had several, Schmit said.

Crystal Lake’s also were way up, Ramirez said. They had about 50 residential and half a dozen commercial lines freeze this past winter compared to two or three total during a typical year.

Fixing them also was more difficult than normal because the ground was frozen 5 feet down instead of the 1 to 2 feet that’s normal, he said.

“It’s so much more work because it’s like digging through concrete,” Ramirez said.

Some of the government entities will dig into their savings to cover the costs, and others will postpone some other projects until the new fiscal year starts. Some of the overbudget line items also will even out with other underbudget ones.

“In the grand scheme of life, this winter we basically had two winters in one so we’ve done pretty well,” Wittum said.

stretch their supplies, many entities, including McHenry and Spring Grove, started mixing the salt with sand or cutting back on salt on straight stretches of residential roadway.

The sand leaves a residue on the streets that has to be cleaned up later, Ramirez said, but Crystal Lake sweeps all its roads in the spring anyway.

The big question in whether salt will still end up costing municipalities is how much it will cost to rebuild their stockpiles ahead of next winter.

“We think we’ll be in good shape from an overall budget perspective; it just depends on the salt purchase,” McHenry City Administrator Derik Morefield said.

The winter also has been tough on the water lines that connect homes and businesses to the municipal water mains.

The city of McHenry hasn’t had frozen water service lines in about 15 years, but this year

PAIN FREE!

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness!

--Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately.

THANK YOU for helping me.”

--Joann F.

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

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option.

Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else.

Don’t get distracted Illinois’ dire fiscal situation is well-documented.

Its public pension systems are underfunded by more than $1 billion.

The state ended its last fiscal year with more than $7 billion in unpaid bills.

Illinois has the nation’s second-highest property taxes, the fourth-highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, and the fourth-highest workers’ compen- For the record sation costs in the nation.

Voters must focus on fiscal It has the secissues when evaluating Illinois ond highest unem- governor candidates. ployment rate in the country, and the worst credit rating of all 50 states.

These are the facts, and they aren’t pretty.

These also are the issues that voters must focus on as the campaign for governor now turns to two people – Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner.

In the months leading up to the Nov. 4 general election, expect to hear tons of campaign rhetoric from both sides. A lot of it will be nothing but noise, meant to distract voters from the issues that matter.

But don’t be distracted. Tune out the nonsense and focus on each candidate’s plans to return Illinois to a fiscally solvent state.

Who has the best plan to balance the budget?

Who is going to best help over-burdened taxpayers, whose homes are underwater and wallets are bare?

Who is going to bring jobs back to Illinois because his economic policies make more sense?

Who is going to make Illinois competitive again with its neighboring states?

Who has the best plan to lead Illinois out of its fiscal woes and into a better, more financially responsible future?

These are the questions voters must ask as they evaluate Quinn and Rauner prior to the general election.

Illinois is in bad shape right now. In November, voters must decide who has the best chance to lead the state out of the abyss.

Actions, not words Illinois’ two U.S. senators, Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk, claim they’re all for electronic filing of campaign finance reports – but unfortunately not enough to actually do it.

House members file their campaign finance disclosures online, which gives the public quick access to the information. But senators keep short-circuiting measures that would require such timely reporting by them. Instead, they file paper reports that later are converted for the Internet. It’s an inefficient, costly system that means the public waits days or weeks to see information about campaign finance, possibly until after an election. Taxpayers pay about $430,000 a year to a private company to key in the data and eventually get it online.

Both senators have issued statements saying they would support legislation requiring electronic filing.

Great, but how about backing up those words with action? The spokesmen never explained why their bosses don’t file electronically now in addition to paper filing – something nearly 20 senators already do. That would show their seriousness about the issue and put pressure on their colleagues to approve the change.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Covering up?

To the Editor: Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner has taken the Fifth again. But if it’s just bureaucratic bungling of an awkwardly written law, as President Barack Obama suggested, she couldn’t incriminate herself.

Perhaps she wants the probe to go nowhere.

The administration promised a quick action. To refresh, here’s what the IRS scandal is all about: • Groups legally opposing Obama were singled out for harassment by one of the most powerful agencies in the executive branch after the organizations applied for taxexempt status, blocking some from playing a role in the 2012 election.

• Obama and Democrats such as Max Baucus and Dick Durbin called on the IRS in 2010 to rein in such organizations.

• The office of the IRS chief counsel, an Obama appointee, helped craft guidelines on how to go after the tea party and other conservative groups.

• The IRS released nine confidential applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups to a left-leaning media outlet.

But shouldn’t she be willing to testify if, as Obama claimed, it’s nothing more than “a 501(c)4 law people think is confusing” and that “folks did not know how to implement”? If, as the president contends, it amounts to only “some boneheaded decisions” but “not even a smidgen of corruption,” why would Lerner spend the past 10 months taking the Fifth?

Lerner does have information and the American people have a right to it. Congress has a duty to

continue investigating until the full truth is revealed.

Can you or I take the Fifth if the IRS comes knocking?

Real estate taxes To the Editor: On the subject of real estate taxes: state Rep. Mike Tryon, Sen. Pam Althoff and Rep. Dave McSweeney all have legislation they are working on downstate. Didn’t anyone tell them that the voters want real estate tax reform first?

Illinois is No. 2 in the nation as far as the highest, which puts us one step away from having the highest real estate taxes in the nation.

The only politician in the county that seems to understand what the public wants is Democrat Jack Franks. Where are the Republicans? Franks keeps watering down his bill because the Republicans don’t have what it takes to do what the voters want and desperately need. Where are the tax fighters? Despite what they say, I guess we don’t have any in the Republican Party.

I think the voters would support a permanent freeze of real estate taxes if given the chance, and subsequently require a referendum for any future increases. It seems our representatives don’t want us to have a say. Once again it seems they are not working for us.

Spending is out of control, and voters need to have the right to voice their opinion via the referendum process. Does the lack of support by the Republicans mean this will be normal if we put one in the governor’s mansion?

Special place To the Editor: Recently, my husband and I enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant where the food was delicious and beautifully presented and the service was superior. Where was this special place? We dined at Slainte, the student-run restaurant at McHenry County College.

Reminiscent of Brigadoon, the restaurant magically appears in the spring semester of each year for a few brief weeks, and those lucky enough to visit are treated to a very special evening.

Students showcase the front- and back-of-the-house skills they’ve learned at MCC as they seat you, take your order, prepare and serve the three-course meal you’ve chosen from the menu. And did I mention the food is delicious?

Slainte is open Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6 to 7:30 p.m. through April 22. More information is available at www.mchenry.edu/ slainte.

Deserve better To the Editor: It is a sad day when the city of Harvard can force a property owner to tap into water/sewer services at a cost of $20,000 and then blatantly ignore its own municipal code requiring maintenance of the water main/fire hydrant. The water line that services my property has been frozen since Feb. 21. The city itself has determined that it is on its side of the line. The city has ignored its own Municipal Code 13.06b, and by doing so has jeopardized the safety of its citizens and those who have invested in the city of Harvard.

We have paid our permit fees and monthly service fees and abided by the city code.

It is a sad day when a city ignores the codes/laws they have created.

I ask Mayor Nolan, why should the citizens of Harvard abide by the codes/laws if the city itself does not?

Therefore, Mayor Nolan should step down. The citizens deserve better. Mayor Nolan is either unable or unwilling to fulfill the duties he was sworn to uphold. It truly is a sad day for the city of Harvard.

Putin openly mocking President Obama, United States What is it about Western leaders from Neville Chamberlain to George W. Bush who want to find good in men of bad character?

Acting as if he were endowed by special insight bestowed upon no one else, President George W. Bush declared in 2001 that he had looked Vladimir Putin in the eye and “was able to get a sense of his soul.”

According to DailyCaller.com, in a 2010 interview with talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, Bush, who was promoting his book “Decision Points,” was asked about his ability to see into the souls of men. The former president explained, “The reason why I said that is because I remembered him talking movingly about his mother and the cross that she gave him that she said she had blessed in Jerusalem.”

Well, bless my soul, as the saying goes. No doubt, several communist leaders in the former Soviet Union had mothers who went to church

and took their sons with them – until faith became a drag on upward mobility in the Communist Party.

It doesn’t mean any one of them underwent some drastic religious transformation.

What Bush should have asked Putin is whether he shared his mother’s faith and if so, what difference that had made on his thinking?

Usually when people “convert” from one belief system to another they give a reason for the shift. Not so with Putin. He has not walked the sawdust trail of redemption and embraced pluralistic, democratic or capitalistic beliefs. Quite the opposite.

In a 2005 state of the nation speech, Putin declared: “Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Stacia Hahn, John Sahly

VIEWS Cal Thomas patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself.”

In the Hewitt interview, Bush claimed that since that early meeting with Putin, the Russian leader had become a different person. The other possibility is that Putin has always been the same person, but lied and projected a different image to a gullible Bush who wanted to believe what he thought he saw.

Putin and his cronies are now openly mocking the United States.

Under President Barack Obama, we are becoming a humiliation nation.

Meaningless “sanctions,” which amount to not even a slap on the wrist, are laughed at in Moscow.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

And the problem with sanctions is that Russia has options, too, like cutting off gas and oil supplies to Europe and making trouble in other former Soviet republics. Recently, Russian news anchor Dmitry Kiselyov took to the Rossiya 1 news channel to declare that Russia is the only country capable of turning the United States into “radioactive ashes.” A picture of a mushroom cloud was projected on the screen behind him. Iran might see this bragging by Russia as a challenge to its own nuclear ambitions.

Understanding one’s adversary is sometimes more important than defeating him, especially if one wishes to avoid armed conflict. The fall of the Berlin Wall was the symbolic collapse of the Soviet Union and occupied Eastern Europe.

Putin clearly believes Russia was humiliated after the collapse and the American triumphalism that followed. But humiliation can cut

two ways.

Russia feels slighted for not being recognized as a great power.

In some sense – though the analogy is far from perfect – Russia reflects Germany’s attitude after its defeat in World War I. The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to disarm, concede territory and pay reparations. Hitler’s rise to power two decades later was in large part due to his appeal to German nationalism and pride, which is precisely Vladimir Putin’s appeal to the Russian people.

Putin has promised not to annex any territory beyond Crimea. We’ll see if he keeps that promise. Meanwhile, it would be nice if Obama led on this matter instead of making the United States the laughingstock of the world’s dictators and, to our detriment, perhaps some of our allies.

OAKWOOD HILLS BLAZE DISPLACES 3 OAKWOOD HILLS – No one was hurt in a fire that severely damaged the back of a house and displaced three people.

At 12:19 a.m. Saturday, members of the Cary Fire Protection District were called to 124 Lakewood Drive in Oakwood Hills and found the second story of the back of the house on fire, according to a news release.

The porch on the second story came off the house adjacent to the kitchen area. The fire also spread to the attic.

The fire was under control in about 20 minutes, the news release said.

Scott and Nancy Keifer and their 12-year-old daughter were home when the fire broke out but were able to escape without injury, the news release said.

When Scott Keifer discovered the fire, he saw smoke in the hallway and flames coming from the kitchen, the fire department said.

There was severe fire damage to the attic and rear second story. There was smoke and water damage to the rest of the house, according to the news release.

Damage estimates were not available. The family was able to find accommodations, the fire department said.

The fire still is under investigation but is not considered suspicious, according to the news release.

Huntley parks hears voters After referendum defeat, district says it won’t ask for $18.75M again

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley Park District has received the strong message voters sent regarding the district’s $18.75 million referendum question.

Executive Director Thom Palmer said the district will not try to ask voters again about

issuing $18.75 million in bonds that would have added a new indoor turf facility and set aside $2 million to acquire future land.

Voters rejected the referendum by a 3-to-1 margin during the primary election Tuesday.

More than 77 percent of Huntley voters in McHenry and Kane counties voted against

the question.

“The question has been asked and answered,” Palmer said. “Beyond that, it’s business as usual in the park district.

There is no additional plan to reissue the question at anytime.”

The district also doesn’t have alternative plans to try to finance the expansion, he said.

Since announcing the referendum in September, officials thought they had the demand for a new indoor turf facility based on a 2011 community survey that helped form the district’s comprehensive plan.

The indoor facility would have provided a playing surface

CRYSTAL LAKE – What started as a 13-member church is quickly turning into a resource hub for an entire community.

With the launch of a Compassion Center in November last year, Pastor Michael Love is looking to establish Trinity Baptist Community Church International as a

haven for those in need and struck by disasters.

The Compassion Center is the latest building on the Crystal Lake campus at 5914 Route 31 that also includes a Worship Center, Family Life Center and Conference Center. Love said the inspiration for the Compassion Center came after seeing a greater demand during the church’s annual food and clothing drives.

Now the center has hundreds of clothing items for infants and young children and nonperishable food items thanks in part to strong business partnerships that include biweekly donations, Love said.

“It’s certainly not required to come to worship but we would love for people to come and experience the love and then come back to the center and be blessed

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

with whatever we can offer them,” Love said.

The center is open from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday following the 11 a.m. service. The items are available for free or people can make a small donation if they would like, Love said.

The church plans to work with the Northern Illinois Food Bank to expand its

ALGONQUIN: ZONING REQUESTS

Village considering three business proposals Gander Mountain, Goodwill, wellness center hope to start building within Algonquin limits

By JOSEPH BUSTOS

If you go

jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Village Board members on Tuesday are scheduled to begin considering zoning requests for three businesses that want to locate in Algonquin.

In addition to Gander Mountain, which wants to locate along Randall Road, Goodwill and a new wellness center are proposed for the village.

The Algonquin Wellness Center and Med Spa is proposed for 2430 Esplanade Drive just west of Hobby Lobby. The business is requesting a special-use permit.

Ali Hyderi, who submit-

What: Algonquin Committee of the Whole meeting When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday Where: Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive

ted the petition to the village, wants to build a 14,120-squarefoot medical office building.

The tenants would be a doctors’ group specializing in holistic health and comprehensive medical care, and a medical and aesthetic spa, according to village documents.

Services would include traditional medical services, nutrition counseling, herbs

and supplements, energy medicine, and med-spa treatments like Botox, fillers and lasers.

When the business starts there would be eight employees. The wellness center and med spa plans to have up to 22 employees once the location is fully operational, Senior Planner Katie Parkhurst wrote in a village memo.

Patient volume could grow to up to 200 patients a day, according to the proposed business plan.

“The focus of the center shall be the use of functional medicine approach,” according to the business plan. “By shifting [from] the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more

patient-center approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.”

Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois plans to move into the former True Value building at 1430 E. Algonquin Road. Goodwill plans to add a drive-up lane, and build a 1,750-square-foot addition to the building to accommodate a loading dock, according to a staff memo written by Senior Planner Ben Mason.

Goodwill, which has locations in McHenry and Huntley and one soon to open in Crystal Lake, plans to start work in Algonquin in the spring and open at the end of Septem-

will shop,” Schmitz said.

Gander Mountain also has plans to build a new location in the village.

The retail chain is asking for permission to build a 52,000-square-foot store in the Millbrook Marketplace Development.

The proposed Gander Mountain would be built just north of Walmart at 1400 S. Randall Road on what is now a vacant lot. A 240-space parking lot also would be built, according to village documents.

The St. Paul, Minn.-based Gander Mountain has 127 retail stores in 24 states, including in Geneva, Joliet, Peoria, Rockford and Springfield in Illinois.

– Northwest Herald ALGONQUIN – A 19-year-old man has been charged with armed robbery after he used a screwdriver to steal a woman’s purse, police said.

Just after 2:20 p.m. Saturday in the Algonquin Commons parking lot, Andy K. Lopez-Carbajal, whose last known address was in Woodstock, threatened a woman with a screwdriver and demanded her purse, according to a news release.

Lopez-Carbajal drove off in a white Toyota Camry, police said. The woman was not hurt and was able to provide officers with a partial license plate number.

A short time later, an off-duty Algonquin officer saw Lopez-Carbajal’s vehicle and called 911, according to the news release. Lake in the Hills officers then were able to detain the vehicle in a gas station parking lot.

The stolen purse was recovered in the vehicle, police said.

Algonquin police took Lopez-Carbajal into custody and charged him with armed robbery, a Class X felony, according to the news release.

The Village Board last week gave its approval for the CaryGrove Animal Hospital to build a location at 374 and 404 W. Crystal St. The animal hospital still needs to request a building permit, said Christopher Stilling, director of community and economic development.

Dr. Fritz Trybus, owner of the Cary-Grove Animal Hospital, plans to move from his Fox River Grove location into Cary.

Construction work will probably start within 45 to 60 days, with the animal hospital opening by the end of the year, Stilling said.

CRYSTAL LAKE: BLAZE CAUSES $80K IN DAMAGE

Fire leaves CL house uninhabitable

AndersonBMW.com 815-455-4330

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A fire on Saturday caused an estimated $80,000 in damage, leaving a Crystal Lake house uninhabitable, the fire department said.

Firefighters from multiple departments were called about 5 p.m. to 62 Barberry Drive.

No one was in the house when the fire started and no one was hurt during the call, said Deputy Chief Paul DeRaedt of the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department.

Smoke billowed from the house as firefighters extended a ladder over the home to shoot water down. The fire was under

control at 6:07 p.m.

The fire appears to have started in or around a detached garage that was close to the back of the single-story house, the fire department said in a news release. The fire spread to the house, which showed signs of a weakened roof.

According to the news release, the fire began to melt siding and break windows of the homes on either side of the house involved in the fire. Firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading.

The cause of the fire is not known, and is under investigation by the fire department, police department and the state fire marshal.

Several residents, who watched as crews worked, reported hearing a big boom in the neighborhood.

DeRaedt said there was at least one propane tank at the back of the house, but it has yet be determined whether that was the cause of the fire, or if a tank exploded as the fire spread.

Fire crews from Algonquin/ Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Lakewood, East Dundee, McHenry Township, Nunda Rural, Cary, Wonder Lake and Fox River Grove assisted with the call.

Peter Rogala, who lives nearby, said he saw black smoke coming from the house when the fire first broke out.

“It was dark,” Rogala said.

Church expanding disaster relief More information

• CHURCH Continued from page B1 food offerings and team up with the Crystal Lake Food Pantry as a distribution site.

Love said the church also is expanding its disaster relief outreach. The church is in talks with the Red Cross to be the organization’s official emergency relief site for McHenry County. If plans come together, Love said the Red Cross could operate out of

For more information on how to donate to or use the Compassion Center, visit www.trinitybcci.org. the campus to provide relief in emergencies and people could even take temporary shelter in the gym or Family Life Center.

In 23 years, the church has grown from 13 members to more than 800 and Love said these expanded ministries are just the next step. Love

has also expanded his reach through affiliate churches in Elgin and Rockford locally and India, Haiti and the Dominican Republic internationally.

“I’m actually part of a group called Christ Together where churches come together for partnership and collaboration, churches like Willow Creek and Harvest Bible Chapel,” Love said of the importance of community support. “It’s a good network of pastors and church families always growing. It’s a good community approach.”

Directors of special ed, literacy approved • WORKFORCE Continued from page B1 District 47 managed cost savings in a different way, streamlining administrative positions in an effort to focus more resources within the school buildings.

Hinz, who was promoted from interim to official superintendent in December, said

she wanted to find efficiencies in the administrative ranks.

To do so, two administrative positions were eliminated and a new division of student learning was created to bring all academic programs under one umbrella.

Under the new division, a director of special education and director of literacy were approved by the board. Kelli Catini is an internal hire who

was promoted to director of special education while Megan Fuciarelli comes from Indian Springs District 109 to fill the director of literacy role.

“We’re very excited to restructure to put more focus in the classrooms,” Hinz said.

“This was designed to make sure the administration building runs efficiently and on a lean staff and to get more supports in the buildings.”

Process slower than expected • BILLBOARD Continued from page B1 County Board approved the second extension last September. But the committee decided against the option presented to it by the county Planning and Development Committee of asking the County Board to instead grant early approval of the portion of the draft UDO dealing with the signs.

“I personally did not want to see us do a piecemeal adoption of the UDO, and so I asked staff to go back and prepare for a short extension,” committee Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, said Friday.

The County Board imposed the moratorium in September 2012 at the request of the governments of Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills and Lakewood. Of-

“Nobody can look at what we’ve done in the past year and say the County Board hasn’t been moving it forward.”

Joe Gottemoller R-Crystal Lake ficials asked the county for a temporary ban out of frustration after there was a surge of requests by sign companies to erect large video billboards on unincorporated land outside their boundaries, where the county’s sign rules are, for now, much less strict.

The UDO, now in draft form, modernizes all of the county’s development ordinances and combines them into a single code, and includes stricter limits on such signs. Opponents of such

signs call them eyesores that cause light pollution, lower surrounding property values and reduce driver safety.

The original moratorium and its 2013 extension contained provisions that would sunset sooner upon ratification of the UDO. But the process has moved slower than expected – the county just last month moved the 300-page, 20-chapter ordinance to public review.

Gottemoller, a zoning and land use attorney by profession, said he believes a third, smaller and final extension will be legally defensible because the committee and the Zoning Board of Appeals have been meeting regularly for more than a year to jointly review the UDO. “Nobody can look at what we’ve done in the past year and say the County Board hasn’t been moving it forward,” Gottemoller said.

Nearly $5K paid to test soil at site • PARKS Continued from page B1 for soccer, lacrosse, softball and other turf-related sports.

It would also have included multipurpose rooms and bocce ball courts.

Park district commissioners and officials toured similar facilities in DeKalb and other suburbs, developed concept plans and paid $4,840 to test the soil at the proposed site.

But residents’ moods may have changed since the district’s survey in 2011.

During a forum at Sun City Huntley two weeks ago, residents questioned the need

for an indoor facility, with School District 158 rolling out plans to construct a new fieldhouse as part of its Huntley High School expansion.

Others in the retirement community doubted whether they would use the amenities at the proposed facility when Sun City already offers similar features.

Taxpayers also wouldn’t have seen immediate property tax relief if the district’s bonds were extended. As it stands now, the district’s existing construction bonds are set to expire in 2015 and 2018.

Palmer wouldn’t speculate on the reasons why voters rejected the referendum. The question, he said, was always

intended to get direction from the public.

“It truly was a question for the community,” he said. “We asked the question, and we got the answer.”

Officials, though, may one day ask voters about paying for future land expansion.

That issue was lost in the shuffle of the referendum campaign, Palmer said.

Added land, he said, would allow the district to develop parks and other open spaces for residents.

“I don’t know when that would be,” Palmer said. “But it would be interesting to see if any community groups would be interested in having a conversation about that.”

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Huntley senior Amanze Egekeze is the Northwest Herald Player of the Year.

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

A TALENT FOR WINNING Huntley’s Egekeze believes victories don’t just happen

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com The record speaks for itself.

In the past four seasons, Huntley’s boys basketball team was 82-21 in games in which Amanze Egekeze played. That’s a winning percentage of .796.

Egekeze started as a spindly 6-foot-5 shot-blocking, role-playing freshman and blossomed into a dominant NCAA Division I recruit who could take over games on both ends.

No matter what part Egekeze played, however, there usually was winning involved.

“Winning is not just something you do,” Egekeze said, “it’s really a skill. From a young age, for me

winning was important. I truly think it’s a skill.”

If that is the case, Egekeze and Huntley mastered that skill just like they had shooting, ballhandling, defending and rebounding.

The Red Raiders finished 21-8 this season, won their fourth consecutive Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship and third Class 4A regional title in four years.

Egekeze, the 6-8 forward headed to Belmont, was the driving force, averaging 17.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots a game. He is the first FVC boys player to play on four straight conference or division champions and is the 2014 Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

All-Area first tam Amanze Egekeze Huntley, sr., forward Jason Gregoire Cary-Grove, jr., guard Chrishawn Orange Jacobs, jr., guard Adam Pischke Marian Central, so., guard Austin Rogers Crystal Lake South, sr., forward • Coach of the Year, first-team player capsules and second-team and honorable mention selections. PAGE C4 The honor is voted on by the sports staff with input from area

coaches. Joining Egekeze on the All-Area first team are CaryGrove’s Jason Gregoire, Jacobs’ Chrishawn Orange, Marian Central’s Adam Pischke and Crystal Lake South’s Austin Rogers.

Named to the second team were Prairie Ridge’s Michael Bradshaw, Hampshire’s Ryan Cork, Huntley’s Zach Gorney, Richmond-Burton’s Sam Kaufman and Marengo’s Zach Knobloch.

Egekeze shot 49.4 percent from the field, 75.3 percent from the free-throw line and finished his career with 1,114 points. He was a difficult matchup because he could handle the ball well, hit outside shots and also take command inside.

Huntley coach Marty Man-

ning considers Egekeze a coach’s dream in every way.

“He never took anything for granted in practice, he worked hard every day on his game,” Manning said. “That was really important for our guys to see how committed he was, to know you have to practice hard every day to accomplish the goals we wanted to.

“He is the perfect role model for a basketball program. You want kids to excel athletically and academically, and really commit themselves to the game and the team. He really did that. He’ll be sorely missed for a lot of reasons, not just basketball.”

BASEBALL: BURLINGTON CENTRAL 8, CL CENTRAL 3

BULLS 91, 76ERS 81

Tigers open season with loss at Lippold

Bulls extend Sixers’ skid to 24 straight

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – With how the weather has been this winter, it was a surprise to Crystal Lake Central and Burlington Central that there was a baseball game to be played Saturday afternoon. The teams played on an artificial turf infield at Lippold Park.

With neither team having much experience playing outside this season, it was hard to have any high expectations.

Burlington jumped out to an early lead, which it didn’t relinquish, and held on to beat the Tigers, 8-3.

“I’m proud of the way our guys played,” Tigers coach Dan Badgley said. “The effort was definitely there. No one likes losing, but this gives us a good idea of some of the things we have to work on from here.”

The Tigers fell behind, 6-0, after a four-run third inning, forcing Badgley to make a pitching change. Starting pitcher Tanner Larkins was chased after 22/3 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits.

The Rockets (1-0) were outside for their first game as well, and coach Kyle Nelson was pleased with how his team played.

“With how little we have been able to practice outside so far, I think our guys did a fantastic job of adapting to the weather and other conditions,” Nelson said. “I told the guys to play simple and not overthink things. We definitely have things to work on, but today was a good first step.

The game opened up in the Rockets’ half of the third inning. The rally started with an RBI double by senior third baseman Cody Schuver, followed by RBI singles from Danny Gerke and Johnathan Murphy.

Gerke was also the starting pitcher for Burlington. He earned the win after pitching three innings, allowing two runs on one hit.

The Tigers responded with a two-run third inning and added one more in the fourth on a double by sophomore third baseman Frank Berg.

Crystal Lake Central (0-1) was unable to threaten much after that, with just two base runners in the final three innings.

“I’m not overly concerned about the loss,” Badgley said.

“We have a fairly young team, and it was our first game. We were happy to get outside and play, and now we have a gauge on what we have to work on.”

CHICAGO – Not good enough.

The Bulls handed the 76ers their 24th consecutive loss, and the Bulls’ 91-81 victory Saturday left them in a virtual tie with the idle Raptors for the No. 3 seed in the East. But it didn’t matter.

Just not good enough.

Not at this time of year and not in the eyes of coach Tom Thibodeau.

The Bulls (39-31) getting outrebounded for the third time in the past 10 days didn’t go unnoticed by Thibodeau.

He was more interested in pointing out what needs to be fixed rather than focusing on the second win over the 76ers in the past three games.

That weakness in his team is a symptom of a bigger problem.

“You’re 70 games into the season and so are all the other teams in the league, so every day of the year, including the offseason, you have to prepare yourself to endure a long season,” Thibodeau said. “There’s the mental part; there’s the physical part; there’s the emotional part. So everyone is going

Next for the Bulls Indiana at Bulls, 7 p.m.

Monday, CSN, AM-1000 through the same thing. If you want to choose to say we’re tired, 90 percent of the rebounding is going to be will and determination. Are we going to go get it? When that ball is in the air, are we going to get it? The great rebounders are the ones that keep going. The more you go, the more you get.

“Right now, we got to hit, hold and go, and if we do that, we’re going to be great. If we take any shortcuts, we’re not.

This time of the year, you can’t be taking shortcuts.

This is the time of year you get your house in order.”

So while the house might be getting tidy as the playoffs near, going 7-5 since March 1 is far from orderly for Thibodeau.

He let his players know that at the half – they only led by three, 41-38 – and again after the game. They were outrebounded by the 76ers, 48-44.

C

incinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman is expected to make a full recovery after taking a line drive off the face during a spring training game. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: Mention “head injuries” and “sports” in the same sentence, and my first thoughts go to football, hockey and boxing. But this week offered an ugly reminder that baseball (and softball) also can be terribly dangerous, especially for pitchers. Aroldis Chapman took a 100-plus mph liner off his face, breaking several bones and requiring surgery. He’s lucky it wasn’t worse.

Styf: McHenry’s Mark Badgley knows a little about that. He took a batted ball to the face in 2005 while playing for Northern Illinois and ended up in a Peoria hospital (it was a road game at Bradley) with a concussion and skull fracture. Last year, Cary-Grove softball pitcher Lindsay Efflandt was hit in the face, and then she and many of the other area players wore pitching masks after the incident.

Musick: I wonder where this issue goes from here. Because pitchers at every level are throwing harder than ever, which means that line drives are coming back faster than ever. Could there be a day when all high school baseball and softball pitchers are required to wear helmets with visors? I’m not sure what other options might exist, other than pushing back the mound or building a fence around the pitcher.

Styf: When Chris Burrows reported on it last year, the softball people said it was a high-powered bat issue. But, in major league baseball, that’s not the problem. I hate to say it’s a professional hazard there and nothing can be done, but I’m pretty sure that’s true. Mark that under the (Things) happen department.

Musick: It will be interesting to see whether any big league pitchers wear the padded caps that were approved as a safety measure during the offseason. If I’m Jeff Samardzija or Chris Sale or any other tall, hard-throwing pitcher, I’m giving the padded cap a try. Because as awful as it sounds, it’s only a matter of time until we’re reading about another pitcher being carted off the field and rushed to the hospital.

Styf: It will certainly happen again, with as hard as guys like Yordano Ventura and Chapman are throwing. I wouldn’t want to be out there. Heck, I don’t want to play catcher in soft pitch softball because I’m frightened enough of getting hit with the ball.

Musick: Out with baseball, in with curling. (I miss curling.)

For each of the past 76 years, Don Adams has counted March 19 as one of the best days of his life.

The 93-year-old Carpentersville native who now lives on Long Island, N.Y., is the last living starter from the 1938 Dundee High School state championship team. Adams, who played guard before continuing his career at Purdue and serving as a Navy pilot, was a senior when Dundee (34-1) captured the championship with a 36-29 victory over Braidwood Reed-Custer in Champaign.

We lost the first game of the season but from there on, everything seemed to jell. We worked through our conference – it was called the Little 7 Conference at the time. We had several games when we scored 50 points, which was unheard of in those days. Even in the semifinal game at Champaign in the championship series, we scored 51 points. It was awesome because there weren’t too many teams in that era who reached those heights.

We just had five guys who played really well together. Everyone on that team got along and we had a couple of terrific scorers – Chris Hansen and Don Blanken. Of course, we had a terrific coach – coach (Eugene) de Lacy. Our coach was the driver – I can tell you that. He kept on us all the time and so it seemed as if we had to produce. At times, he was a little tough on us, but I think he did that for a reason. You know the tough love approach? I think that was part of it. But we all liked him. There’s certain times when there can be some resentment against a coach, but we all thought he was a great guy.

After we won the regional tournament, we pretty much thought we had a chance to go someplace. We were (in Champaign) the year before and we were defeated in the first round by Moline by two points.

But we decided we were going to be back the next year. I guess there was an air of dejection (after the loss in 1937). Maybe it was a little overwhelming.

But (in 1938) if I had to use a word, I would say it was wild. The folks in town thought we had chance to do something because as we seemed to go along, we seemed to get a little bit better all the time. All I can say is that it was heartwarming (to have the town behind us). So after the first game (in Champaign), we thought, ‘Gee – we have a chance here – a darn good chance.

In those days, we played the semifinal game in the afternoon and then we played the finals that night. Two games in one day. But look, when you’re that age and that young, you can do a lot in a short time. But we just went with the flow. That’s the way it was – we had to do it. We had the idea that we could (win state), but once it happened, you know, we were a little dumbfounded to say the least. When we got home, I think the whole town was waiting for us.

We had a prelude to a parade that night. They had some fire trucks out and we went around to some of the villages at that time. I think I got to bed about 5 o’clock in the morning.

Every March 19, I have thought about that game since 1938. I do have fond memories because I’ve probably classified that day as the most important and exciting day of my life except for when I got married. When you look at how many young men in their lives accomplish something like that, to me, that was a real accomplishment.

The Northwest Herald Player of the Year finished his career with 1,114 points and played on four consecutive division champs and will play at NCAA Division I Belmont next year.

regoire, a 6-3 guard, was one of the area’s best shooters and took over some games with his scoring. He averaged 17.8 points a game and shot 41.7 percent (48 of 115) on 3-pointers for the season.

He shot 82.8 percent on free throws and averaged 2.4 assists a game.

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH OF THE YEAR

Price let Marian’s talent show

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Curtis Price remembers a handful of text messages he received in October.

Basketball practice was a few weeks away, but Marian Central’s players were jacked up.

“They were ready to go,” the Hurricanes head coach said. “They sent me messages like, ‘Let’s go!,’ ‘We’re going to be good this year’ and ‘We can’t wait until the season starts.’ That never happened to me as a coach in the past.”

Turns out the players were correct.

Marian bounced back from a dismal 4-27 season with several key returning players and the infusion of sophomore point guard Adam Pischke to finish 18-14 and win a Class 3A regional.

Price consistently deflected the praise for the turnaround to his players. Still, the 14-win swing from last season could not be denied, and Price is the Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Coach of the Year, selected by the staff with input from local coaches.

Marengo’s Will Benson also received strong consideration after taking the Indians (20-11) to their first winning season since 2000. It is the second time Price has been chosen, along with 2010 after the Hurricanes won their first regional title in 33 years.

“My job is to keep them humble, keep them hungry and try to find the right system that is going to fit their playing

John Konstantaras for Shaw Media

Marian Central boys basketball coach Curtis Price holds up a net after the Hurricanes won the Class 3A Woodstock Regional final against Marengo on March 7. style,” Price said. “My staff and I came up with a plan that showcased the talent we have. I let them play freely compared to putting them in a box and making them run plays. That helped them out tremendously.”

Price wanted guards, Pischke, Derreck Caldez and Wyatt Lindell, to be less encumbered, which better allowed them to use their quickness to drive or shoot 3-pointers.

“It let us play fast and hit shots,”

Pischke said. “He just had us play loose and free and always fast. It got our confidence going.”

Marian had some rough patches during the season, but the Hurricanes found their stride at the most opportune time, winning five of their last seven regular-season games.

“In the middle of February we were three games below .500 with five games left,” Caldez said. “We looked at going .500 for the season, so we focused and wanted to reach that goal. We got it done.”

Then, the Hurricanes added their third regional title in five seasons, knocking off a hot Marengo team, 72-53, in the Class 3A Woodstock Regional championship.

“Our home game against St. Edward [a 60-44 victory] we saw everything clicking,” Price said. “It seemed like everything we did that particular night worked for us. The kids started believing in themselves more and the coaches started thinking we could go out there and do something.”

After seven total wins in the previous two seasons, Price and his staff worked some psychology on their players in the offseason. He felt the pieces were there, with Pischke coming in, to become a solid team. “[Price] played a huge role,” Caldez said. “He didn’t want to go through another losing season. We changed what we did in the offseason. We changed stuff up in practice. He gave us the freedom and let us play and do our offenses.”

Senior headed to play PREP ROUNDUP McHenry water polo at Division I Belmont finishes 5th at invite EGEKEZE “He’s one of the ierc• Continued from page C1

Egekeze missed the first 13 games of his junior season after undergoing surgery on his right knee to relieve patellar tendinitis. He returned for the second half to help the Raiders to their third division title in a row. This season, he took his game to another level, although he remained quite unselfish with his play, averaging 14 shots a game.

“A lot of players with my ability would say they should be getting more shots, but in the bigger scheme of things, I feel it would be sending the wrong message to my team and often would be detrimental to what we were trying to do,” Egekeze said.

“I could live with us losing, but I couldn’t live with knowing I could have been more aggressive. At the end of games, I had to say to myself, ‘At least I took those shots and was aggressive.’ I think I did a good job of being assertive and also deferring and playing within the system.”

Forward Riley Wicks thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing with Egekeze.

“He’s one of the fiercest competitors on our team, and he’s probably one of the best players to come out of the Fox Valley Conference in a long time,” Wicks said. “He led mostly by example. He’s definitely one of the hardest workers on our team.”

Wicks and the other Huntley players look forward to seeing Belmont, a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, on TV and possibly in the NCAA tournament.

est competitors on our team, and he’s probably one of the best players to come out of the Fox Valley Conference in a long time.”

Riley Wicks Huntley basketball player, on Amanze Egekeze

Manning thinks Egekeze has just scratched the surface of what he can do.

“The things that he needs right now are things that high school programs can’t provide,” Manning said.

“Specific one-on-one workouts to get him stronger, oneon-one skill developments he’ll get and playing against other Division I players every day.”

Egekeze will get that starting in June. He will head to Belmont, in Nashville, a week after graduation and enroll in summer classes.

There, he will work out with his teammates and prepare for his freshman year.

He will take with him lessons from Manning and past Huntley players such as Dylan Neukirch, Tyler Brunschon, Justin Frederick, Troy Miller and Bryce Only, along with his teammates this season, all who played roles in all that winning.

“I’m proud of the strides we’ve made with the guys I grew up playing with,” Egekeze said. “I was just glad to be a part of history at our school. It’s been a great experience.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: STATE ROUNDUP

Young escapes with 4A crown The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA – Miles Reynolds scored 19 points, and Paul White hit two free throws with 19 seconds remaining, helping Chicago Whitney Young win the Class 4A boys basketball state championship with a 46-44 victory against Benet on Saturday.

The Dolphins led by as many as 12 and were seemingly comfortably ahead by seven with 35 seconds left. But they missed the front end of two oneand-ones and the Redwings’ Collin Pellettieri hit a 3-pointer after the first miss, then Sean O’Mara had a putback after the second to make it a two-point contest. That’s when White stepped in.

Fouled immediately after O’Mara’s basket, White hit the first bonus free throw, then calmly sank the second.

“Championships are about getting close, and they made it close,” Whitney Young coach Tyrone Slaughter said. “But championships are also about seniors leading the way and our seniors led the way.”

The anticipated matchup between Duke-bound center Jahlil Okafor of Whitney Young and Xavier-bound O’Mara never really materialized in the game. Okafor, after scoring 33 in a semifinal win, had just eight points and six rebounds.

O’Mara did get a lot of help defensively.

O’Mara was limited to eight points as well as eight rebounds.

The difference was Okafor’s support.

Colin Bonnett had 12 points and Pellettieri added 11 for the Dolphins, but Reynolds’ 19 points and White chipping in eight points created the edge the Dolphins (28-5) needed.

The Redwings finish the season at 25-8.

Third place – Stevenson 70, Edwardsville 63: A day after scoring

Prairie Ridge senior Danny Pecoraro reaches for a throw during the first inning against Evanston on Saturday at Lippold Park in Crystal Lake. Evanston won, 18-2.

56 points in a semifinal loss to Whitney Young, Jalen Brunson was held to just 18 points. But

the Patriots (32-2) had four players in double figures as they pulled away from Edwardsville in the second half of the Class 4A third-place game.

Brunson, who averaged almost 26 points during the season for the Patriots, was initially suspended by the IHSA after video surfaced of him making hand gestures late in the semifinal loss toward the Whitney Young crowd, but he was allowed to play just moments before the start of the consolation game.

Connor Cashaw scored 17 points, Matt Morrissey had 16 and Matt Johnson 10 to go with Brunson’s 18.

The Tigers (30-4) got 21 points from Trevor Clay.

CLASS 3A Championship – Morgan Park 59, Lincoln 49: Chicago Morgan Park rallied from 13 points down in the second half to beat Lincoln and win the Class 3A state championship.

Trailing 39-26 in the third quarter, the Mustangs (24-6) went on a 26-2 run that put Morgan Park up 11 with less than two minutes to go in the game.

The Mustangs punished Lincoln for 10 turnovers during that run.

Josh Cunningham led Morgan Park with 13 points.

Junior Gavin Block led the Railers (34-3) with 19 points.

Third place – Orr 55, Rockford Lutheran 45: Louis Adams Jr. scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Chicago Orr to third place against Rockford Lutheran.

The Spartans (25-5) fell behind by double digits early in the game but pushed through with three separate double-digit runs of their own.

Nate Wieting scored 12 points and hauled in 11 rebounds for Lutheran but turned it over 10 times. Joseph Kellen had 12 points and all-stater Thomas Kopelman added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Crusaders (30-5).

MEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT NOTES

Iowa State presses on without Niang The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO – Iowa State has seen all this before and it never seems to end well for the Cyclones.

The Big 12 champion steamrolled into Sunday’s third round of the NCAA tournament, just as it had in its past three appearances. The Cyclones are facing North Carolina, just as they did in 2005. And they will have to play without an injured starter, just as they did last year when they were eliminated by Ohio State on a buzzer-beater.

Forward Georges Niang,

Iowa State’s hottest hand, broke his right foot in Friday night’s 93-75 win over North Carolina Central. For the third-seeded Cyclones, who haven’t reached the round of 16 since 2000, it’s another March misfortune after guard Chris Babb watched the heartbreaking loss to Ohio State from the bench with a sprained ankle.

The Cyclones (27-11) have to find a way to manage without Niang, who coach Fred Hoiberg on Saturday described as “arguably” their most important player.

“Somebody will step up.

week.

Kansas faces 10th-seeded Stanford on Sunday in a South Regional game.

They always do in situations like this,” Hoiberg said.

Hoiberg said he had not decided who would start for Niang against the sixth-seeded Tar Heels (24-9).

Kansas’ injury wait: At St. Louis, second-seeded Kansas’ defense has suffered without freshman center Joel Embiid, the team’s third-leading scorer and Big 12 defensive player of the year who’s been out since the conference tournament with a stress fracture in his lower back. The school is holding out hope the 7-footer might return next week, if there is a next

Della Valle leaving Ohio St.: At Columbus, Ohio, Ohio State coach Thad Matta announced that sophomore guard Amedeo Della Valle is leaving the team to play professional ball in Europe.

Della Valle, from Alba, Italy, notified the Buckeyes staff of his decision Saturday.

Beloved by fans for his scraggly mop of curly hair, Della Valle was expected to be a valuable reserve next season.

Brust’s late 3 lifts Badgers The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Ben Brust hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:07 left Saturday, and second-seeded Wisconsin overcame seventh-seeded Oregon, 85-77, to reach the Sweet 16.

Brust’s clutch 3 from the corner gave the Badgers (28-7) the lead for good in a heavyweight fight of an NCAA tournament game. They will play third-seeded Creighton or No. 6 seed Baylor in the West Regional semifinals.

Traevon Jackson followed with three free throws, but missed one with 21 seconds left to give the Ducks (24-10) one more chance to tie trailing by three.

Oregon gave it to Joseph Young, who had made big shots all night and scored 29 points. But he missed a rushed 3 from the wing and the Badgers sealed it at the foul line as an arena filled with Wisconsin fans broke into a deafening roar.

At Buffalo N.Y., Shabazz Napier scored 25 points in leading Connecticut (28-8) over second-seeded Villanova (29-5).

Villanova became the highest seed to be knocked out of the tournament so far.

Ryan Arcidiacono scored 18 for Villanova in a matchup of former Big East rivals.

MIDWEST REGIONAL Michigan 79, Texas 65: At Milwaukee, Nik Stauskas had 17 points and eight assists to lead Michigan past Texas (2411) and into the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.

Jordan Morgan added 15 points and 10 rebounds as No. 2 seed Michigan (27-8) advanced to the regional semifinals in Indianapolis. The Wolverines will face the winner of Sunday’s Mercer-Tennessee game in Raleigh, N.C.

Louisville 66, Saint Louis 51:

Jet mystery unfolds as Asian air travel booms

MOTIVATION Bob Sandidge & Anne Ward

Notice what works, then ask why Let’s say you want to grow your business. Maybe you decide to get more engaged with your customers by interviewing them about what you’re doing for them and how you could be doing it better.

You notice that several customer accounts differ from the norm. You look closer. You note, with satisfaction, that there are eight customers who ordered more from you in the past six months than all of last year.

Never having been one to leave well enough alone, you keep scrutinizing. That’s when you see the eight customers who have ordered significantly less over the last six months.

You know that six of those are still in business and doing well, so they must be ordering from someone else. The nerve! You’d like to see what’s up with your outlier customers, so you decide to call all 14: the eight increasing and the six decreasing. Where do you put the most energy? Which list do you call first? Who has the information you need most?

Many would advise you to really concentrate on the six that ordered less. That makes sense. At the same time, let us encourage you to put the same rigor into your interviews with the customers who have increased their business. You know what’s working: these customers are doing more business with you than ever. Why? It’s tempting to think you know the answers, but we suggest you question those assumptions. Only when you know why what’s working is working can you make solid decisions that lead to profitable growth. There is a second reason you need to know why and how what’s working is working.

Simply, it might not actually be working at all.

Let’s explore the first reason for asking why: doing more of what works. Knowing how something works allows you to align resources in favor of success. In 1999, the Gallup organization published the results of their decades-long intensive quest, studying management practices in the trenches. They interviewed eighty thousand managers who were ranked according to performance results.

What they learned inspired the title of the book that carried their findings to the business world: “First Break All the Rules.” The managers who turned in top profits turned out to behave in ways not taught in business school. Asking “Why?” changed best management practices.

Now, let’s look at the second reason to dig into the why and how of what’s working. There actually are two reasons to get behind the numbers in this case. First, what’s working might not actually be working. Remember Al Dunlap? Also known as Chainsaw Al? Sunbeam posted record profits within a year of his becoming CEO.

Under a proposal from the Food and Drug Administration, food companies tiny to huge would have to print new labels, matching a standard set to assist a health-conscious public but one that could cost businesses thousands of dollars.

Costly proposal Nutrition label changes could impact local businesses

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Kent Thomas orders somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 nutrition labels at a time. Now, the co-owner of Two Fat Guys Gourmet Sauces is worried his stock might go to waste.

Under a proposal from the Food and Drug Administration, food companies tiny to huge would have to print new labels, matching a standard set to assist a health-conscious public but one that could cost businesses thousands of dollars.

“It’s just going to be a ton of money for everybody to make new plates and labels,” said Thomas, who co-owns McHenry-based Two Fat Guys with Bob Packard and serves as the company’s CEO. “To have to go back ... probably have to repay to have nutritional facts updated.”

Led by backing from First Lady Michelle Obama, the changes include updating serving sizes to more accurately represent how much people eat, left-aligning daily value percentages, differentiating between “added sugars” and those naturally occurring, and requiring information on nutrients like Vitamin D and potassium, among other changes.

The proposal came out in late February. The FDA is now in a 90-day period of accepting public comment.

One to-be-determined point that could be crucial to the impact on small businesses is how long businesses would have to make the change, said Ron Tanner, vice president of government and industry relations for the Specialty Food Association.

Tanner said it could take many small businesses two or three years – for some, five years – to use up their stock of labels. He said the Specialty Food Association was yet to come out with a specific position, but that it was likely they would ask that small businesses be given time so they

Candy Stade’s business is among those expecting to take a hit if nutrition labels are changed. The owner of Sweet Slap ’n Salsa tends to order about 5,000 labels a piece for her six products. New plates for each product cost about $50 each, she said. don’t have to burn labels.

“It’s not really a small business exemption,” he said. “It’s more of an extension.”

And if the changes are implemented quickly? It could mean thousands of dollars in losses for some businesses, he said.

When it comes to specialty foods, “the taste gets them to come back, but the look gets them to try it,” Tanner said. “So they have relatively expensive labels.”

Thomas said he has concerns about another potential expense: shipping. While Two Fat Guys is a small operation, its product is spread out in warehouses across the country. An abrupt shift in label regulations would force the company to pay for shipping to bring their stock back local for the appropriate changes.

“It’s going to be a challenge for everybody, whether you’re small or large in the business,” Thomas said.

“I will definitely take a hit because now I have to make new plates and order all new labels,” she said.

HONG KONG – The transfixing mystery of the Malaysia Airlines jet that went missing with 239 people on board has unfolded in a region where air travel is undergoing supercharged growth after decades of being beyond the reach of most people.

The still unknown fate of Flight 370, which vanished from civilian radar on a nighttime flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, has riveted the flying public and baffled experts. The backdrop also is compelling even if far removed from the headlines.

Air travel in Asia is surging as the middle class gets bigger, discount airlines proliferate and business ties with the rest of the world deepen. Airports are scrambling to expand as they bulge with passengers and an upstart Indonesian carrier has given Boeing and Airbus their biggest jet orders ever.

The region’s economic boom, seeded in the early 1990s by China’s embrace of market style reforms, is the underlying reason.

“When you’re poor you can’t afford to fly,” said Andrew Herdman, director general of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines. “The big development of the demographics of Asia in the past 20 years has been the sheer number of people who have been lifted out of poverty into that middle income segment” of $10-$100 of disposable income a day.

The International Air Transport Association has forecast airline passengers to grow by 31 percent worldwide between 2012 and 2017.

For Asia, that will mean the number of passengers increases an average of 6.3 percent each year, nearly three times as fast at the U.S. Routes within or connected to China will be the single largest driver of growth, accounting for nearly a quarter of the additional 300 million passengers during those six years.

Whether the Malaysia Airlines jet succumbed to a sudden catastrophe, hijacking or malicious pilot action, it is unlikely to change a two decade trend of ever more travelers, routes and planes.

“People become cautious about a particular airline for a while but you don’t see travel patterns change,” said Herdman.

Asian demand is a big reason why airlines are on the largest jet-buying spree

‘More you put toward debt, the faster it goes away’ Dear Dave, I recently got a new job that will increase my income by $20,000 a year. I’ve got $65,000 in debt, and I’m trying to pay it off, so I know I need to adjust my budget. Do you have any suggestions for a situation like this?

– Mitchell

Dear Mitchell, Congratulations on your increased income. The first thing I’d tell you is not to get used to any permanent luxuries while you’re paying off debt. Go out and celebrate with a really nice dinner or something like that after you get your first paycheck. But don’t go nuts or pick up any big, new stuff. The more you put toward debt, the faster it goes away.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey I’ve been doing this financial thing for a lot of years, and the one thing I’ve found that gets people out of debt is passion. I want you to be so passionate about getting out of debt that you don’t even consider doing anything else until it’s all gone. Your thought process needs to be, “Wow, I got a new job making more money. I can get out of debt even quicker.”

Again, I’m okay with you adjusting a bit that first month and having a little fun to celebrate your good fortune. But after that, I want you to turn around and attack the debt

with even more intensity than before. Way to go, Mitchell.

– Dave

Dear Dave, I own a one-bedroom condo that I’m using as a rental property. The current tenant’s old agreement is up soon, but she signed a new lease less than a month ago and gave me a deposit, plus the first month’s rent.

Just the other day, she called and wants to back out of the agreement.

She said she discovered after she signed that her ex is having serious health problems, and she needs to move to help take care of their kids.

What do you think I should do?

– Flavia

Dear Flavia, I own a bunch of rental proper-

ties, so I know for a fact that as a landlord you run into all kinds of situations. Some are more genuine than others. I would want some proof as to what’s going on, but on the surface it sounds like she’s got a valid reason for wanting to cancel the agreement.

Basically, she’s asking for your understanding and mercy. If it were me, and what she’s said turned out to be true, I’d try to lease the place to someone else as quickly as possible, and I’d refund her the deposit plus any money it doesn’t cost you in the process. In other words, if it took two weeks to find another tenant, then I’d give back the deposit and two week’s rent. Of course, if she’s in really bad shape – and you’re on solid enough financial ground to withstand the blow – you

8FACES & PLACES

could let her out of the agreement completely and move on to finding another tenant.

You don’t want to profit from someone who’s genuinely struggling. But you have to look out for yourself and, if possible, try to break even.

Regardless, I wouldn’t take advantage of anyone who’s truly going through hard times. That’s just not right.

WASHINGTON – A Federal Reserve official who dissented from this week’s policy decision said Friday the Fed should have said it planned to keep a key interest rate at a record low until unemployment falls below 5.5 percent.

The Fed’s policy statement no longer cites a specific unemployment rate that might lead it eventually to raise short-term rates. The Fed instead says it will monitor a range of information before approving any rate increase.

Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Fed’s Minneapolis bank, said this shift, which the Fed approved 8-1, will hurt the economy.

“The new guidance fosters policy uncertainty and thereby suppresses economic activity,” Kocherlakota said in a statement explaining his dissent.

Kocherlakota said that lowering the threshold for considering a rate hike from 6.5 percent unemployment to 5.5 percent would have enhanced the Fed’s commitment to low rates until inflation nears its 2 percent target. Inflation is now running around 1 percent, and the unemployment rate is 6.7 percent.

Kocherlakota said a better approach would have been a statement saying the Fed intends to keep rates at record

lows until unemployment has fallen below 5.5 percent – as long as expected inflation was below 2.25 percent and any “possible risks to financial stability remain well-contained.”

On Wednesday, the Fed held its first policy meeting under its new chair, Janet Yellen. Afterward, it said it would weigh a range of economic measures in deciding when to begin raising its key target for short-term rates. The Fed has held its benchmark rate at a record low near zero since December 2008.

At a news conference afterward, Yellen unsettled financial markets in answering a question about what the Fed meant in saying short-term rates could remain low for a “considerable time” after it stops buying bonds to keep long-term rates low.

Yellen replied that that phrase could mean “something on the order of around six months.” That is a shorter time than some investors had anticipated for a possible rate hike.

Her comment appeared to conflict with her other remarks at the news conference that the Fed’s decision on when to raise rates would depend on economic conditions.

The Fed is expected to keep trimming its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion at each meeting before ending them late this year.

Airlines bulk up to serve to growing middle class • TRAVEL BOOM Continued from page D1 in aviation history, ordering more than 8,200 new planes from Airbus and Boeing in the past five years. There are now 24 planes rolling off assembly lines each week, up from 11 a decade ago. And that rate is expected to keep climbing.

The bulk of the planes are going to new or quicklygrowing airlines that serve the expanding middle class in China, India and Southeast Asia.

In Asia alone, Airbus has 1,375 unfilled airplane orders or about a quarter of its worldwide order book.

The low cost carriers are the hungriest buyers. Malaysia-based AirAsia and its affiliate AirAsia X together have orders for 385 new planes.

Those new planes alone have enough seats to put an additional 60,000 passengers in the sky at the same time. Many of those planes will make multiple flights a day, sending that figure even higher.

Indonesia’s Lion Air has an order for 234 jets from Airbus and another 301 from Boeing. That’s in additional to the 107 Boeing jets it currently flies.

They’re just two of the numerous low budget airlines that have opened up in the past decade, mostly in Southeast Asia, to service the growing demand for affordable air travel.

Budget airlines’ passenger jets Malaysia’s AirAsia (top), Indonesia’s Badavia Air (third from bottom) and Indonesia’s Lion Air (second bottom) are parked on the tarmac with Indonesian planes of domestic airline Merpati Nusantara (second top) and the flagship carrier Garuda Indonesia at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Air travel in Asia is surging as the middle class gets bigger, discount airlines proliferate and business ties with the rest of the world deepen.

“The reins are loosened,” said Will Horton, an analyst at CAPA The Center for Aviation.

To keep up, Asian governments are scrambling to build new terminals and runways.

Singapore, a wealthy citystate off the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia, expects additions to its airport will within a decade more than double the number of passengers it can handle yearly to 135 million.

Airport construction is most rampant in China, with

Even China, which for years has enforced restrictive policies aimed at supporting the three dominant stateowned carriers, is starting to give budget airlines a chance.

Last month, China’s aviation regulator, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said it would lower barriers for setting up a low cost airline, simplify approval procedures, cut charges for airports in lower-tier cities and encourage older airports to revamp terminals for budget carriers.

London ‘draining life’ from rest of UK economy

By DANICA KIRKA The Associated Press LONDON – There’s London. And then there’s the rest of the country.

A tale of two Britains has increasingly emerged since the Great Recession. While the government trumpets the country’s recovery from the financial crisis and its status as the world’s fastest-growing developed economy, the rhetoric hides an increasing divide: One that pits London’s boom against the malaise in cities such as Manchester and Birmingham that are struggling to remain vibrant in the 21st century.

Buoyed by foreign investment and a resurgent financial industry, the economy of London and the rest of Britain’s South East region has expanded almost twice as fast as the rest of the country since the 2008 financial crisis. A chasm that began opening with the decline of Britain’s textile and coal industries a century ago is widening as London’s ability to attract jobs and investment leaves the rest of the country struggling.

Britain’s economy is, by some calculations, the most dependent on a single urban area among the world’s most industrialized nations.

“It’s almost the definition of polarization,” said Danny Dorling, a professor of geography at Oxford University. “It’s pulling apart in a quite dramatic way.”

Policymakers are considering a range of ideas to address the imbalance. Among them is building a 43 billion-pound ($71 billion) highspeed rail network to connect London with Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, helping the northern cities become viable alternatives for businesses to locate. Another idea is for Manchester and Liverpool to merge into a super-city that could better compete with London for investment.

The issue of economic inequality – how to get more people to share the fruits of the recovery – is of growing concern for governments around the world.

It is also central to the political fortunes of Prime Minister David Cameron, whose Conservatives are trying to broaden their base into traditional Labour Party strongholds outside southeastern Britain in

A tale of two Britains has emerged after the Great Recession on this economically hobbled island. hopes of winning next year’s election. The Conservatives were forced to form a coalition with the Liberal Democrats after failing to win a majority four years ago after 13 years of Labour governments.

A house divided Measured in terms of geography, Britain’s economic divide is among the widest of the seven most industrialized countries, according to figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. London and the rest of Britain’s South East region account for about 35 percent of U.K. economic output. Only Tokyo and Paris and their surrounding regions rival London for the top spot. New York, the biggest economic center in the United States, generates just 7.3 percent of national gross domestic product.

In the case of Britain and Japan, critics note the countries are smaller, making it easier for one metropolitan area to dominate.

When Mayor Boris Johnson recently suggested that London issue its own visas for international artists and technology wizards, critics only half-joked that London might take it a step further and become its own city state, like the Vatican.

That dominance translates into higher wages for workers in London as the city attracts those with skills

in high demand. Londoners last year earned an average of 41,143 pounds ($68,297), 51 percent more than the national average.

The gap is even bigger in the housing market, where foreign buyers have snapped up London homes as investments rather than places to live. So vast is the demand for highend homes that London’s skyline is changing, with glass-and-steel apartment blocks sprouting along the banks of the Thames.

Home prices in the most expensive parts of London are now almost 25 times higher than Britain’s cheapest homes, up from 10 times in 2007, according to research by the independent Smith Institute.

The capital’s supporters note that London’s strength benefits the rest of Britain by attracting investment that would otherwise go to New York or Hong Kong and creating wealth that spills into other parts of Britain.

London-based businesses are the biggest private-sector employers in each of the U.K.’s 62 cities, according to the Centre for Cities, a think tank focused on urban issues. And London generates roughly 99 billion pounds in taxes and receives 94 billion pounds in government spending in return – leaving a 5 billion pound subsidy for the rest of the country.

Yet that is not translating into new jobs.

The Centre for Cities found that the capital region, which has about a quarter of Britain’s people, accounted for 80 percent of private-sector employment growth between 2010 and 2012. Northern cities like Bradford, Blackpool and Glasgow lost jobs in both the private and public sectors.

Many cities outside London are dependent on public employers.

They are losing jobs as the government slashes spending to control a deficit swelled by bank bailouts.

“London is becoming a kind of giant suction machine, draining the life out of the rest of the country,” Business Secretary Vince Cable told the BBC late last year. “More balance in that respect would be helpful.”

Regional shifts It wasn’t always like this. Northern England used to be the heart of the British economy. The textile mills and coal mines fueled the Industrial Revolution and boomed with the affluence of the British Empire in Victorian times and well into the 20th century.

But globalization hit the aging industries hard. The deregulation of the financial markets in the mid1980s touched off a boom in London that surpassed anything the others could muster. The city became one of the world’s largest financial centers, with banks that reached across the globe.

There was hope that the Great Recession would bring more balance as the government tightened regulations on the London-dominated financial industry after providing tens of billions of pounds of bailouts.

But the financial sector bounced back relatively quickly. And the crisis only magnified London’s allure as a safe place for foreigners to invest in property and an island of opportunity for professionals, entrepreneurs and artists from other European countries that are still in the economic doldrums.

Tony Travers, an expert on the capital at the London School of Economics, has likened London to a dark star – attracting all comers and swallowing investment.

“It would be better if there were other, smaller dark stars,” he said.

“It would be better to have a constellation of dark stars.”

The high-speed rail project is one way to stimulate other economic centers. It could allow Northern cities to capitalize on their strengths while giving them access to the financial markets, entrepreneurs and cultural attractions of London.

In anticipation of the project, Birmingham last month unveiled plans to build 350,000 square meters (3.8 million square feet) of office space and 2,000 homes near the city’s main railway station.

Building for scale Jim O’Neill, a former Goldman Sachs economist, notes that Britain contrasts with China, Germany and the United States, all of which have many urban areas fueling their economies. To help counterbalance London’s dominance, O’Neill, who is heading a commission on cities, has floated the idea that long-time rivals Manchester and Liverpool might be linked to create a supercity of the north – ManPool for short. The concentration of people, ideas and competition would help drive innovation and growth, O’Neill said.

Civic leaders in England say another way to rebalance the economy would be to give them more control over their own finances.

George Ferguson, mayor of the western port city of Bristol, complains that U.K. cities are allowed to retain only a small percentage of local tax revenue, making them unduly dependent on central government.

Giving city leaders more control would help communities generate better ideas to solve their own problems and attract investors, he said.

With Scotland preparing to vote on independence, and Wales and Northern Ireland gaining increasing rights to govern their own affairs, it’s inevitable that cities in the rest of the country should start wondering about whether they, too, should get more local control, said Paul Swinney, the senior economist of Centre for Cities.

Essentially, politicians in London need to be persuaded to give up power in the regions. That will require tact.

“Maybe England needs a lobby,” said Neil Rami, the chief executive of Marketing Birmingham.

Tips for Landing a Higher Paying Job

By Dominique Rodgers, Monster Contributing Writer Unless you’ve recently retired, won the lottery or were elected President of the United States, chances are you’re looking to keep your career progression on track with increased responsibility and increased salary. Face it -- no one wants to be the assistant forever.

So how exactly do you go about making the leap into a more lucrative position? Here are some tips to help you land that higher paying job.

Network Strategically “It’s not so much about your resume anymore, but the people you know, and the people they know,” says Rachelle Falls, HR pro, blogger and conference speaker. She says people often think they aren’t well connected enough, but fail to realize they can be, with a few simple steps.

Falls’ first suggestion is to scan your social media connections for people with a job you’d like to have. If you’re currently a sales associate and want to become a sales

manager in a certain industry, then look through your contacts and “locate those that have the job title and responsibilities you’re looking for,” she says. “Reach out and ask for a coffee meeting or a quick phone call.”

Falls says most people will enjoy talking about their job and passing on advice to an up-and-comer.

If you can’t find anyone in your contacts with a specific job you’d want, widen your search and tell people you’d like to be introduced to someone in that arena.

Next, embrace Twitter. Use it to find thought leaders in your industry. Follow them, read the articles they post, participate in chats they host, and begin a conversation. “Find out what interests they have, who they’re following and which topics they tend to focus on,” Falls says. “Participate in the discussion. Tweet a hello. Express an interest to learn more.”

Learn What You’re Really Worth If you want a higher salary, you need to go into a job search with realistic expectations. “Research the market rate of the position you’re seeking,” says HR manager Rory Trotter. “Many companies’

Drivers

salary ranges are largely driven by market survey data. As such, if a recruiter asks what you’re seeking for a position you should be able to give a well-researched, market driven answer that reflects what you’re willing to work for.”PayScale is a great place to start your research.

Consider the Big Picture Don’t focus so much on the higher salary that you end up with a nightmare of a job. “All things being equal, more money is better than less money,” says Broc Edwards. “The problem is, things are rarely equal and the gold tinted lenses...can cause us to miss the downsides until it’s too late.”

Instead, Edwards suggests also considering the intangibles a new position will bring, such as great mentors and challenging opportunities. “A fat paycheck can quickly turn into ugly and tight-fitting shackles, trapping us in a job we hate but can’t afford to leave,” Edwards says.

Do the Math When you do get that next offer and the salary bump, make sure to run the numbers and see if it

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Monetary gains are possible if you express yourself in a positive manner.

Be forceful, and make your presence known to the people who count. If you stand in the shadows, you will miss out. Make this a year to remember.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Go beyond your traditional path and try something out of the ordinary. There are sure to be some pleasant surprises in store for you. An unplanned journey can generate professional rewards.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will need to be industrious and shoulder addi-

tional responsibility. Those around you will be preoccupied and unable to help. You will make headway if you stay focused.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Manage your money wisely. Start by setting a strict household budget. Unanticipated financial expenses can take a big bite out of your savings. Adequate preparation will help ease financial stress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be feeling emotional regarding someone’s demands or pushy behavior. Step back and size up your situation. Don’t make a rash decision that will put you in a vulnerable position.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take a leadership role. Others will be full of admiration for your ideas and will gladly do what they can to assist you. Be prepared to take a big leap forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Partnerships will be fragile today. Keep a low profile and concentrate on self-improvement. Put aside any financial discussions for another day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may feel caught up in a whirlwind of responsibilities. The demands of work and home are taking a toll. Don’t feel guilty about taking

time out for a leisurely pursuit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You are in need of positive reinforcement. Get together with a friend who will encourage and contribute to your plans. A different point of view will provide inspiration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -You’ll be offered advice, but not all of it will be good. Decide which option is in your best interest. Do your utmost to strengthen your monetary situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An exciting business venture is within reach.

Make sure you have all the skills needed to

secure this chance, or you will regret having missed a promising opportunity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are known as an insightful and visionary person.

While some may feel threatened by these qualities, there is no reason for you to change.

Be proud of who you are.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will find great fulfillment helping others. You have much to contribute, and you will be rewarded for your time and effort. You can make a positive difference to someone.

The many names of ‘Rough Riders’ What was the official name of Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders? – A.K., Glencoe, Ala.

Teresa Wright

The official name for the group was the First United States Volunteer Cavalry. The newspapers referred to the group by many different names, including Teddy’s Terrors, the Rocky Mountain Rustlers and Teddy’s Riotous Rounders.

Rough Riders is the moniker that stuck, even though Roosevelt was not particularly fond of the name.

I heard of a major league baseball player who, after hitting a home run, ran backward around the bases. Is this true? – C.W., Scranton, Pa. James Anthony Piersall of the New York Mets wanted attention when he hit his 100th career home run. On June 23, 1963, with Dallas Green on the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies, Piersall hit the ball out of the park. He ran the bases in the correct order while facing backward.

His stunt gave him the publicity he wanted, but manager Casey Stengel was not amused. Piersall was cut from the team two days later. He then signed with the California Angels, where he finished his 17-year career in 1967. He hit a total of 104 career home runs. Piersall was known for his battle with bipolar disorder. He often was ejected from games, and engaged in fights with fans.

Where or what is “Caledonia”? – H.C., Fargo, Ind. Caledonia is the ancient Roman name for Scotland.

The first bread-slicing machine was introduced in Chillicothe, Mo. Do you have any idea what the name means and how it is pronounced? – T.W., Williamsburg, Va.

I would like to know what became of the beautiful actress Teresa Wright.

She was in a lot of good movies. – T.A., Chattanooga, Tenn.

Muriel Teresa Wright was born Oct. 27, 1918, in New York City. While in school, she became involved in theatrical productions and appeared in her first film, “The Little Foxes,” in 1941. She was nominated for three Academy Awards, and she won once, for her supporting role in “Mrs. Miniver.”

Wright was married twice and had two children. She died of a heart attack at age 86 on March 6, 2005.

According to the city’s website, Chillicothe is pronounced “Chil-li-coth’ee.” The name is a Shawnee Indian word, meaning “Big Town Where We Live.”

The town is located in northwest Missouri, about an hour away from Kansas City, Mo.

Fog is a type of cloud on the ground. What type of cloud? – O.W., Briston, Va. Stratus.

Is the sports car Lamborghini named after someone? – Y.C., Elkton, Ore. It is; Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in Renazzo di Cento, Italy, on April 28, 1916. After World War II, he used surplus military equipment to build agricultural machinery. He later opened his own manufacturing plant, where he built farm tractors.

Lamborghini’s engineering interests extended into many fields, including luxury sports cars, which he began to manufacture in 1963. In 1973, he sold his business and retired to his vineyard. He died at age 76 on Feb. 20, 1993.

When was teacher, author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia born? When did he die? – E.K., Rushford, N.Y. Known affectionately as “Dr. Love” on the campus of the University of Southern California where he taught, Felice Leonardo Buscaglia was born in Los Angeles, on March 31, 1924, to Italian immigrant parents. The self-appointed cheerleader of the world died of a heart attack in 1998 at age 74.

Who are the two men in the car in the Sonic Drive-In commercials? – J.B., Clinton, Mo. They are T.J. Jagodowski and Peter Grosz. They both have starred in several movies, such as the 2006 film “Stranger Than Fiction.” Besides acting, Jagodowski is a comedian and Grosz has worked as a television writer and producer.

SweetAnd-Tangy Carmalized Chicken Thighs

‘His mercy endures forever.’

Psalm 118

AP photo

A little less sweet chicken

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press The trouble with sweetand-sour chicken is the flavor is mostly sweet – too sweet, at that – and weirdly acidic. It never delivers on the satisfying balance of gently sweet and teasingly sour that I hope for.

But a recipe in a British food magazine recently inspired me to create a better version. The recipe in BBC GoodFood magazine was for caramel chicken wings, though I wasn’t much interested in the wings. It was the caramel-based sauce that intrigued me. Spiked with ginger, lime juice and fish sauce, it seemed just right for what I wanted.

The result is deliciously sweet, but equally tangy and savory. Be warned: This isn’t the gloopy red sweetand-sour with pineapple and cherries you know from the takeout box. It is much better.

SWEET-AND-TANGY CARAMELIZED CHICKEN THIGHS Start to finish: 30 minutes

Servings: 6 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup fish sauce 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy

sauce 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger Juice of 1/2 lime 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch strips Scallions, thinly sliced, to garnish Fresh cilantro, chopped, to garnish In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and cook without stirring for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar has browned and thickened to caramel.

Stir in the fish sauce, careful of sputtering, then the soy sauce, ginger and lime juice. Return to a simmer.

Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan over medium, heat the oil. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Crystal Lake border collie, trainer headed to national agility championship

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com There’s really only one way to describe what it’s like to keep up with Tachyon, a nearly 5-year-old Border Collie in Crystal Lake.

“It’s ya-hoo! Full speed ahead,” said Nanci Tayler, the dog’s proud owner and trainer.

“He’s a riot. This guy would go, go, go. He would do anything for me. He’s so sweet.”

What he’s done for Tayler is give her a first-ever trip to the American Kennel Club National Agility Championship, taking place in Harrisburg, Penn, with a record number of competitors.

The duo will compete March 27-30 with the best dogs in the nation for agility and obediance.

With the dogs dvided into height classes, Tachyon will take on 480, 20-inch-tall dogs like him.

A win would make Tachyon the AKC National Agility Champion, and he’d advance to an international competition.

“We’re running with the big dogs,” Tayler said.

Gem Talk

“It’s kind of fun to step up to the plate and see how my dog measures up.”

She and Tachyon will compete against trainers who’ve taken dogs to international competitions, as well as those who’ve written books and created DVDs on the topic.

Tachyon, whom she purchased from a breeder in Dallas when he was 8 weeks old, is her third agility dog, but the first to advance to nationals.

He’s also a member of Centegra Health System’s “Caring Paws” animal assisted therapy corps. For the past four years, he’s visited patients at Centegra’s Sage Cancer Center, where Tayler said he’s become a favorite.

He’s almost two different dogs, she said, the speedy athlete and the gentle therapy dog.

She has spent summers training him at a friend’s horse pasture with obstacles, such as a seesaw, tunnels, weave poles, jumps and a dog walk.

The dogs must work on consistency, precision, and, of course, timing.

“It’s all about speed,” Tayler said. “Each dog gets a little easier to train, a little faster, and you get better as a handler.”

A former triathlon competitor, Tayler turned to dog training after having orthopedic surgery and becoming unable to compete herself.

She since has become immersed in Chicago’s “hotbed of agility,” as she puts it, where competitors take part in numerous trials a year.

“It’s fun,” she said, adding that the competitors of all ages and from a wide variety of backgrounds get to know one another. “It’s gotten to be a really popular sport.”

Tachyon advanced based upon the points he compiled through numerous trials. The faster he runs the course, the more points he gets. Any missed obstacles or other mistakes result in faults deducted from his score.

“He’s a sports car, and I have to handle him really well so there are no wide turns,” Tayler said.

“This guy, he’s just a bonafide athlete.”

Naturals, Synthetics and Imitations I recently was given a ring from my Grandma and was told that it was an antique diamond and aquamarine ring. When I brought it in to have it appraised, I was surprised to find out that it was actually an antique glass and synthetic spinel ring. I was told that the stones used were imitations. Can you explain the difference between a natural, synthetic and imitation stone?

A natural gemstone is a stone that is delivered to us from nature, with no interference from humans. They are formed through a combination of natural forces such as heat, pressure, chemical reactions, gravity and time. These are the most sought after stones that demand the highest prices.

A synthetic stone or a lab-created stone is a gemstone that has been grown in a laboratory and created by man. The processes that create natural gemstones are simulated in a controlled environment and regulated by man. Synthetic gemstones have exactly the same chemical makeup as their natural counterparts, but are created by man not Mother Nature.

An imitation or simulant is a stone that is used to simulate a natural gemstone. It can either be lab created or natural. An imitation has nothing in common with the stone it is simulating except for its appearance. Some of the most common imitations are glass, plastic and lab created flame fusion synthetic spinel.

pair extraordinaire German caregiver of five children in Cary named Illinois’ 2014 Au Pair of The Year “Look at all these children.

She’s patient, kind, entertaining and always comes up with creative activities and never complains. She’s very brave.”

– Kelly Gitzke Cary mother on the au pair she nominated as Illinois’ Au Pair of the Year

By LINDSAY WEBER • editorial@nwherald.com

I

t might take a village to raise a child, but in the case of Kelly and Bill Gitzke of Cary, it takes the assistance of a stellar au pair to raise their lot of five.

Three-year-old fraternal twins Billy and Joey, 4-year-old identical twins Gracie and Samantha and 7-year-old big sister Katelyn – the self-appointed ring leader – are the Gitzke children that make Sarah Bachor’s daily life and chosen occupation quite a challenge.

The challenge, however, is a pleasure, not a burden, Bachor said.

“I feel like a part of this family. I’m like a big sister,” she said, Katelyn perched on her lap, listening intently.

The sets of twins made their rounds through the living room climbing on and off Bachor, as well as the couch she sat upon, adding personal jungle gym as a credential to her resume.

A resident of Weil am Rhein, Germany, Bachor is the family’s fourth au pair and has been in the United States six months. She lives in the Gitzkes’ home, while the parents works two jobs each.

Kelly Gitzke hired Bachor through Cultural Care, an exchange-based program which screens and places au pairs with families in the United States.

The mother of five nominated Bachor for Illinois’ 2014 Au Pair of the Year, an award given by Cultural Care and the International Au Pair Association to recognize the achievements of an au pair.

The family learned recently Bachor has been awarded the title. It’s well deserved, Gitzke said.

“Look at all of these children,” Gitzke said. “She’s patient, kind, entertaining and always comes up with creative activities and never complains. She’s

very brave.”

Gitzke, a full-time Huntley firefighter and part-time nurse at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, said she picked Bachor because of her previous experience and age, as well as the exposure to a different culture she would bring.

Bachor is 21, as opposed to many of the 18- and 19-year-old candidates, which Gitzke said might not have been able to handle five children. She also favored hiring an au pair versus a nanny because they needed live-in help to accommodate their demanding work schedules and even more demanding children.

In the beginning, Gitzke said it was challenging, but she was developed a system that has worked very well for her.

“In the beginning they were testing me, but I used some of the ideas I received from working with the kindergarten children and made charts for the children with rewards,” Bachor said.

After a certain period of time, if the children display good behavior based

on their chart, Bachor takes them on an outing of their choice.

“I do something with them instead of just buying them something,” she said. “It’s more rewarding for everyone, and it’s something they can learn from.”

The biggest challenge is balancing the family life she has now with the Gitzkes and her family life back home, Bachor said.

“I like to be busy all day and I don’t like to be alone so I don’t think about my family in Germany,” she said.

“I don’t know how I will feel when I go back home. I will be happy to be back home with my family in Germany, but I will miss my family here.”

Bachor said it was somewhat odd to receive the honor because of the many au pairs today. But being responsible for five children is a bit different thatn most.

Bachor is not sure if she will stay in this country or go back to Germany after her one-year contract, but regardless, she said she will miss the Gitzke family and feels very lucky to have been their au pair.

Kunes-Daly Engagement

DearAbby Jeanne Phillips

Casino habit hard to break Dear Abby: My husband and I were both married previously. We have been together for seven years. When we first started dating, we would sometimes go to one of the casinos after dinner as a fun outing. We never spent much money and went only occasionally. Our game of choice was the slot machine.

Over the last few years, it seems like the casino has taken over our lives. We go there to the exclusion of almost everything else and spend money we can’t afford to lose.

How can we break this habit?

It’s causing unbearable financial and emotional stress in our marriage. I’m afraid it won’t last another year. – In Over My Head In New York Dear In Over Your Head: In case you are not aware, there is a name for the habit you and your husband have acquired. It’s “compulsive gambling,” and it’s an addiction. Fortunately, you have finally reached a point where

you have realized this “fun outing” is out of control.

Gamblers Anonymous can help you break this destructive cycle. It’s a 12-step program based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The website is www.gamblersanonymous.org. Many people have experienced what you’re going through, and this well-established organization has helped them. To locate a meeting near you, visit the website or check your telephone directory.

Dear Abby: My mom and stepfather are divorcing.

They were married for 25 years. He was always a great father figure to me and has been a very active grandfather. The reason for the divorce is his infidelity and the disrespect he has shown my mother. We are his only family, and he wants to be involved with us as if nothing is different, even showing up at family gatherings. I want to be loyal to my mother – and

I do feel he betrayed us – but I still recognize he also has been good to me and the kids.

He doesn’t deserve to be cut out of our lives. How does one handle a situation like this? –

Seeing The Big Picture Dear Seeing: Your stepdad might want to pretend that nothing is different, but something is different. He hurt your mother so badly they will no longer be married.

If you want to be loyal to your mother and still have a relationship with him, then you need to have a talk.

Explain that because he is no longer married to your mother, he will no longer be invited to family gatherings where your mother will be present. Tell him you regard him with affection, but will be seeing him separately for the foreseeable future.

StraightTalk Rick Atwater

Woman begins AA recovery journey I got an email from a young lady who I have known almost since her birth and her need for treatment for alcoholism almost as long.

She wrote me a note last week and I wanted to share some excerpts of the letter describing her experience at her first AA meeting: “The meeting was at a church near where I live. I pulled in the parking lot and an old man with a cane was heading towards the door.

He paused by the door and looked back; kinda his way of saying, ‘This way.’ The people in the room were mostly older and I thought, ‘Oh no, geriatrics anonymous.’

Then I saw a 50ish lady who looked like a cross between a librarian and a stripper, and I warmed right up to her.

Then I realized I’d forgotten my purse and the dollar bill I knew I was supposed to put in the basket. As I got up to get it, I had the thought they might think I was bolting.

“More and more younger people came in, and the room filled. We started with a prayer and some readings, and as each person went around they said the dreaded words, ‘I’m so and so and I’m an alcoholic.’ I remember thinking, ‘This is a big deal.’

When it came to my turn it was hugely anti-climactic. It was kinda like, ‘Yea... understatement of the decade.’

“So then my new friend Sue, the librarian/stripper, and the guy next to her read from the ‘Book.’ It was a story about a guy who got asked out for drinks with

some colleagues and, even though he tried not to drink the three beers, he ended up thinking that since he spent the money on them he should, so he pounded them one after another. I could relate. In fact, I could relate to every single story I heard there. It was weird. I guess I’m not different from any of those people. The way they talked without much guilt, kinda matter-of-fact, seemed so healthy.

“I shared at the very end.

I told them my situation with the ex and the kids and how I know I needed to get it together as a parent. I told them about blackout drinking and some of the other scary and embarrassing things I’ve done. I heard a lot of good things. They all thanked me for reminding them what AA was for.

“So yeah… one hour, good stuff, got a coin that says ‘never again alone.’ That was nice. They gave me a ‘Book,’ and five gals gave me their numbers. They have a meeting that’s a little larger on Thursday night so I’m going to that.”

My young friend had to reach her own conclusions in her own time, but she did.

I feel proud and encouraged, but I also know that it’s her journey. I cried a little tear of happiness for her because I know how good it can get.
