Two meningitis deaths unrelated “Spring is traditionally the time of year where there are slightly more numbers of meningitis.”

Marylou Ludicky Communicable disease coordinator for the McHenry County Department of Health

Recent cases in county caused by different strains of bacteria

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Rosalyn Hayes thought her 27-year-old daughter had the flu when she woke up the morning of March 12 with nausea and

body aches.

By later that evening, Whitney Hayes, of Crystal Lake, had died at the hospital.

An autopsy by the McHenry County coroner confirmed that Hayes died from a rare form of meningitis.

The family held a memorial service last week for Hayes, a Prairie Ridge High School graduate who worked as a nanny while living with her mom. Family and friends remembered her for her compassion and loving spirit, Ro-

salyn Hayes said.

“She put other people first, a very outgoing and great personality,” Rosalyn Hayes said. “Everyone said she had the most beautiful smile. She was artistic and fun. Her smile lit up the room.”

The rare bacteria type – called neisseria meningitidis – has been reported to the McHenry County Department of Health only two other times since 2009.

BY EMILY K. COLEMAN • ECOLEMAN@SHAWMEDIA.COM The Kohl’s store in Woodstock was built using recycled and regionally sourced materials. It has water-efficient landscaping and plumbing.

The front desk in the lobby of Glacial Park’s Lost Valley Visitor Center was created with reclaimed lumber from barns on McHenry County Conservation District property. Lots of windows allow the building to take advantage of natural daylight, and the lights in the main bathrooms and offices are activated by motion sensors.

The buildings are among the 14 LEED-certified buildings in McHenry County.

The green building certification – the acronym stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is awarded to residential, commercial and public buildings, both new and

existing, that use recycled materials, are located on sustainable sites and are energy and water efficient.

Illinois tops the list when it comes to the amount of square footage of LEEDcertified space, according to the U.S. Green Building Council. The 171 projects that received LEED certification last year represent 29.4 million square feet, or 2.3 square feet per resident.

The next closest state was Maryland, with 119 projects representing 12.7 million square feet, or 2.20 square feet per resident, according to the council’s rankings.

“People think the buildings would look unusual,” said Brian Imus, the executive director of the council’s Illinois chapter. “I think people think they’d

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois senator announce a push Tuesday for a major overhaul of the state’s income tax structure, calling for a move to a graduated system that would require more from the wealthy.

The legislation and ballot measure being proposed by Democratic state Sen. Don Harmon were announced on the eve Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget address and on the heels of House Speaker Michael Madigan’s introduction of a constitutional amendment to tax millionaires.

The proposal faces an uphill climb, particularly in the Illinois House, where Democrats remain short of the votes needed to get the measure on the ballot. But Harmon on Tuesday described his plan as way to withstand the loss of an estimated $1.6 billion when a temporary increase is rolled back as he highlighted the gridlock between Democratic and Republican lawmakers in addressing the issue.

“There is not a good choice there. This is a third way,” Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat, said.

Harmon’s plan would tax the first $12,500 of a resident’s income at 2.9 percent. Income between $12,500 and $180,000 would be taxed at 4.9 percent.

Income earned above $180,000 would be taxed at 6.9 percent.

The legislation, which Harmon said he plans to file in the coming days, would work in tandem with the resolution he introduced earlier to place a measure on the ballot asking voters to amend the state constitution, which currently mandates a flat income tax against all income levels. To do so, both chambers of the Legislature would have to

Milestone for park reignites love for Wrigley Opening Day for Major League Baseball usually receives little more than a shrug in my world.

When are the Blackhawks or Bulls playing?

For me, the baseball diamond lost its luster years ago. I guess you could call me a lapsed Cubs fan.

However, this year is different.

I realize the Cubs’ organization remains in rebuilding mode. And that it might take longer for Theo Epstein’s vision to be realized.

So what’s so special about this year? Wrigley Field turns 100.

As I was working on a story about the milestone, I felt that old familiar tug at my heart.

Wrigley Field and I go way back.

Just as Wrigley does with so many Cubs fans past and present.

Each of us has at least a story or two to tell about the Friendly Confines.

For me, I can’t imagine home games without ivy in the outfield. Or

VIEWS Joan Oliver a scoreboard that has to be manually updated. Or a seventh-inning stretch with a rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”

My first game at Wrigley was in the early 1980s. My sister and her husband took my younger brother and me to a game against Steve Garvey and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Of course, I was there to see my beloved second baseman Ryne Sandberg.

And catcher Jody Davis. And first baseman Bill Buckner.

Never mind that my view was obstructed by a pole. Or that the wind was blowing out and the Cubs lost.

Wrigley Field was magical for a young Cubs fan.

In later years, Wrigley became a

touchstone. And in at least one instance, a landmark too large to ignore.

During my first few weeks at Northwestern University in Evanston, a group of us freshmen borrowed a car for a quick trip to McDonald’s.

Only problem was that we got lost, and these were the days before GPS. Imagine our surprise when we found ourselves in front of the ballpark and its “Wrigley Field: Home of the Chicago Cubs” sign in all its glory.

Toto, we’re not in Evanston anymore.

Then there was the summer I worked at a law firm in Chicago and shared an apartment on Fremont Street.

For those unfamiliar with Wrigleyville, that’s a couple of blocks away from the ballpark.

It also was the summer of 1989. Ah, yes, the year that the Cubs won the National League Eastern Division championship.

Too bad I was too broke at the time

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

to actually go to any games inside the park.

But I did watch every game on good old WGN-TV. And with the apartment windows open, I heard the crowd noise coming from the park for my own bit of “surround sound.”

It broke my heart when Sandberg and the Cubs lost to the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series.

I’ve been to a few games since, but the flame of my Cubs fandom has flickered, I have to admit.

However, my love for Wrigley remains.

Maybe in this milestone year, it’s time to re-establish our relationship.

I don’t want to wait until next year.

Ebola victims quarantined in Guinea The ASSOCIATED PRESS CONAKRY, Guinea – Health workers in protective hazmat suits treated patients in quarantine centers Tuesday in a remote corner of Guinea where Ebola has killed at least 60 people in West Africa’s first outbreak of the deadly virus in two decades.

Seven patients are being hospitalized at one isolation ward in Gueckedou in southern Guinea, while two others are being treated elsewhere, said Doctors Without Borders. The aid group said it is sending mobile teams into the surrounding countryside in search of people who may have been exposed since the

first cases emerged last week.

“To confine the epidemic, it is critical to trace the entire transmission chain,” said Dr. Esther Sterk, a tropical medicine adviser for the medical group. “All individuals who have had contact with patients who may be contaminated are monitored and isolated at the first sign of infection.”

Six of the seven blood samples sent to France from Guinea had tested positive for Ebola, specifically the Zaire strain of the disease originating from Congo, which has up to a 90 percent fatality rate, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

Ebola has no vaccine or specific treatment. Its initial symptoms – high fever,

weakness and headache – can mimic malaria, a much more common disease in West Africa. Once the virus has caused hemorrhaging, though, victims can start vomiting blood or bleeding from their nose and gums.

Some 1,500 of the 2,220 cases recorded since the virus was first discovered in 1976 have been fatal, experts say. So far the fatality rate in Guinea has been 70 percent, according to Dr. Sakoba Keita, a spokesman with the health ministry.

Those grim statistics are fueling fear amid the first outbreak in this part of West Africa in 20 years. So far at least 60 people have died in Guinea, a desperately poor country with limited health facilities, Keita

The outbreak has raised alarm in neighboring countries. Across the border in Liberia, officials are already investigating eight cases – including five deaths – suspected of having links to the Guinea cases. Those patients traveled across the border into Liberia in search of medical treatment, health officials said there.

Authorities in Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast say they are closely monitoring along their borders for possible cases.

The last case reported in West Africa was in Ivory Coast back in 1994. More recent outbreaks have emerged in Congo and Uganda.

A Chicago Transit Authority train car rests on an escalator Monday at the O’Hare Airport station after it derailed in Chicago. More than 30 people were injured after the train “climbed over the last stop, jumped up on the sidewalk and then went up the stairs and escalator,” Chicago Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago said.

Emergency brake failed to stop commuter train

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – An emergency track-side braking system activated but failed to stop a Chicago commuter train from jumping the tracks and barreling to the top of an escalator at O’Hare International Airport, a federal investigator said Tuesday.

The events that led to Monday’s accident, which occurred around 3 a.m. and injured more than 30 passengers, might have begun with the train operator dozing off toward the end of her shift, according the union representing transit workers. But Tuesday’s announcement that a piece of emergency safety equipment might have failed was the first indication the accident could have been caused by human error and mechanical failure.

National Transportation Safety Board investigator Ted Turpin said a preliminary review showed the train was traveling at the correct

speed of 25 mph as it entered the station. Investigators said they have not yet determined whether the operator ever applied the in-cab brake.

Turpin, who is in charge of the investigation, said an automatic emergency braking system located on the tracks was activated but failed to stop the train as it burst onto the platform.

“It activated,” Turpin said of the emergency system.

“That’s all we know factually.

Now, whether it did it in time or not, that’s an analysis that we have to figure out.”

A team from the NTSB was also exploring how rested the train operator was before starting her shift and whether rules governing overtime had been violated, after a union official suggested she might have dozed off.

They planned to interview the train operator Tuesday afternoon.

“We’re going to ask probably the operator how they felt ... because we always take into consideration the fatigue

factor. It’s one of the things we do investigate,” Turpin said.

The operator, whom officials have not identified, was off duty for about 17 hours before starting work around 8 p.m. Sunday but had recently put in a lot of overtime, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308 President Robert Kelly said Monday.

“I know she works a lot – as a lot of our members do,” he said. “They gotta earn a living. ... She was extremely tired.”

Kelly said the operator took standard drug and alcohol tests after the derailment and that she assured him they were not an issue.

Asked whether she may have nodded off, Kelly responded: “The indication is there. Yes.” Federal investigators hoped to turn the scene over to local officials later Tuesday to begin removing the train from the escalator at the underground Chicago Transit Authority station.

Commission: Shift money for juvenile offenders

Public shows interest in Ill. medical cannabis sociated Press.

A new state law legalizes medical marijuana in a fouryear pilot project with some of the strictest standards in the nation, but the system won’t be up and running until later this year.

First, regulators are reviewing feedback received from would-be growers, dispensary owners and patients.

The agencies next will submit their proposed regulations to a legislative committee for review. Then more public comments will be heard.

For now, the comments are full of questions about how the program will work. Some reflect an entrepreneurial eagerness to get involved.

Bob Morgan, coordinator of the state’s medical marijuana program, answered a few questions pulled from the public feedback during an interview. Here are edited excerpts:

But Flanagan at the time was being investigated after a former grounds crew employee accused him of assault during a December argument about the care of the president’s lawn.

In a statement Tuesday, McLean County State’s Attorney Jason Chambers said Flanagan “yelled insults at the employee and continued to do so even while inches away from his face and flailing his arms around in a manner which alarmed and disturbed [the man].”

CHICAGO – It’s a surprising sentiment to find in a government document: “Marijuana frees the mind and brings inner peace.”

But that’s the blissed-out nature of at least a portion of the public comments pouring into Illinois government agencies about the state’s new medical marijuana program.

Others submitted business-realm rants about the “exorbitant startup costs” and the “outrageous, ridiculous, unworkable and outdated” requirements in draft rules.

The “inner peace” line is contained in a one-page summary of public comments to the Illinois Department of Public Health, which cited patient privacy as its reason not to disclose the more than 400 written comments it’s received. Three other agencies released 100 pages of citizen Q: Can patients grow their input in response to a public own? records request from The AsA: They cannot grow their

Q: Can a parent or guardian sign up a special needs adult child for medical cannabis?

A: Anyone under the age of 18 cannot be an eligible patient. But anyone 18 and older – special needs or not – can be.

Anyone who is a special needs adult would go with their caregiver to a physician’s office and have the physician certify their qualifying condition and then send in the paperwork.

Q: What is the minimum age requirement for a qualifying patient and for a designated caregiver?

A: It’s 18 and over for a patient. A caregiver has to be a minimum of 21 years old, according to the law.

Q: If an employer requires a drug test, what would the implications of disclosure be for the potential employee who is a medical cannabis user?

A: The law allows employ-

ers with drug-free workplace policies to continue to use them. It’s ultimately going to be a question of impairment.

These types of situations already occur today, whether it’s somebody on Vicodin or another prescription drug that could impair them in the workplace. We imagine employers will develop policies to address these issues.

SPRINGFIELD – Providing individualized treatment for juvenile sex offenders while keeping them in their homes might not cost additional money, but could require shifting of existing expenditures, a commission reported Tuesday.

The Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission, assigned to study laws and remedies for juvenile sex crimes, recommended that courts, probation offices and community youth services be “equipped” with standardized methods for evaluating the risks posed by young offenders. The commission also called for adopting intensive treatment programs that keep juveniles with their families and out of incarceration.

Those approaches are not available statewide, said Lisa Jacobs, vice chairwoman of the commission and program manager for the Models for Change juvenile justice initiative.

“The good news is we do have a strong network of youth services providers across the state who could be strengthened,” Jacobs said, “and who could work with the kind of clinicians who have this strong expertise in working with victims and young offenders.”

For that, new money might not be required but new priorities in how it’s spent could be needed, Jacobs told reporters in a conference call Tuesday.

The report, delivered to the governor and members of the General Assembly who ordered it in 2012, points out that it costs as much as $100,000 a year to incarcerate a juvenile offender.

WHITING, Ind. – Crews for oil giant BP are working to clean up an undetermined amount of crude oil that spilled into Lake Michigan and affected a halfmile-long section of northwestern Indiana shoreline.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says the spill reported Monday afternoon at BP’s Whiting, Ind., refinery appears to have been contained.

Police: 12 razors glued to Illinois playground EAST MOLINE – Authorities in East Moline are investigating after they discovered a dozen razor blades glued to playground equipment in a city park.

The razor blades were discovered Monday in the community’s Millennium Park after a 2-year-old boy sliced his finger on a razor. The laceration was minor.

Police Lt. Brian Foltz told the Quad-City Times that officers are “always doing park checks,” but authorities aren’t sure how long the blades had been attached to the playground equipment.

Army Officials: More mudslide victims found head to rule on general The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Man at the center of sex misconduct case

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The secretary of the Army said Tuesday he will have the final say on whether a disgraced brigadier general at the center of a sexual misconduct case retires at a lower rank with sharply reduced retirement pay.

Facing outraged House Democrats, John McHugh said the case of Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair remains open a week after he was spared prison and sentenced to a reprimand and a $20,000 fine.

“The process is still ongoing. I have to make final certifications about rank and retirement,” McHugh told the Armed Services Committee.

McHugh could bust Sinclair down to a lower rank which would mean a significantly reduced pension.

Sinclair had a three-year affair with a female captain who accused him of twice forcing her to perform oral sex on him. In a courtroom at Fort Bragg, N.C., the former deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne Division was originally brought up on sexual assault charges punishable by life in prison.

He was believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever court-martialed on such charges.

Sinclair pleaded guilty to lesser charges of adultery and conducting inappropriate relationships with two others by asking them for nude pictures and exchanging sexually explicit email.

His sentence of a reprimand and a fine prompted an outcry in Congress that showed no signs of abating during the hearing.

Rep. Niki Tsongas, D-Mass., who along with Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio spearheaded changes to the law to deal with sexual assault in the ranks, called the outcome in the case “shocking” and complained about a “toxic military culture.”

“These series of incidents ... raises the very serious question of whether the Uniform Code of Military Justice can be fairly called an instrument of justice and whether an organization where rank and the pecking order created by rank can ever rise above the dictates of deference that rank demands,” Tsongas told McHugh and Army Gen. Ray Odierno, the chief of staff of the Army.

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., offered a long list of the charges for which she said Sinclair pleaded guilty.

“This is a sexual predator,” she asserted. “For a sexual predator to gain this rank and given a slap on the wrist suggests that the system doesn’t work.”

Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., questioned whether the general “gets off the hook.”

Earlier this month, the Pentagon narrowly prevailed in turning back an effort to strip commanders of the authority to prosecute cases, especially those related to sexual assault, and hand the job to seasoned military lawyers.

The questions and outrage among several lawmakers on the House panel indicated that the military will face an even stronger congressional effort to change the military justice system later this year when lawmakers begins work on the defense policy bill.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., chief sponsor of the legislation to overhaul the military justice system, has vowed to push ahead with her effort.

ARLINGTON, Wash. – A scientist working for the government had warned 15 years ago about the potential for a catastrophic landslide in the community where the collapse of a rain-soaked hillside over the weekend killed at least 14 people and left scores missing.

Searchers found more bodies Tuesday as they slogged through muck and rain, but the number of victims in addition to the 14 already found has not been confirmed, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

With the grim developments came word of the 1999 report by geomorphologist Daniel Miller, raising questions about why residents were allowed to build homes on the hill and whether officials had taken proper precautions.

“I knew it would fail catastrophically in a large-magnitude event,” though not when it would happen, said Miller, who was hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to do the study. “I was not surprised.”

Workers walk through mud Tuesday as heavy equipment operators work to clear debris from Washington Highway 530 on the western edge of the massive mudslide that struck the area Saturday, killing at least 14 people and leaving dozens missing. devastated rural community of Oso said they were not aware of the study.

But John Pennington, director of the county Emergency Department, said local authorities were vigilant about warning the public of landslide dangers, and homeowners “were very aware of

the slide potential.”

In fact, the area has long been known as the “Hazel Landslide” because of landslides over the past half-century. The last major one before Saturday’s disaster was in 2006.

“We’ve done everything we could to protect them,” Pen-

nington said.

Patricia Graesser, a spokeswoman for the Army Corps of Engineers in Seattle, said it appears that the report was intended not as a risk assessment, but as a feasibility study for ecosystem restoration.

Asked whether the agency

should have done anything with the information, she said: “We don’t have jurisdiction to do anything. We don’t do zoning. That’s a local responsibility.”

The Seattle Times first reported on Miller’s analysis.

No landslide warnings for the area were issued immediately before the disaster, which came after weeks of heavy rain. The rushing wall of quicksand-like mud, trees and other debris flattened about two dozen homes and critically injured several people.

“One of the things this tragedy should teach us is the need to get better information about geologic hazards out to the general public,” said David Montgomery, a geomorphologist and professor with the University of Washington in Seattle. “Where are the potentially unstable slopes?

How big a risk do they pose?

And what should be done to let homeowners know about that?”

Meanwhile, searchers continued to pick through the debris, warning they were likely to find more bodies. Authorities were working off a list of 176 people unaccounted for, though some names were believed to be duplicates.

Obama to propose ending NSA’s phone call sweep

By EILEEN SULLIVAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – To assuage privacy concerns, the White House and some lawmakers are pushing forward with changes to a surveillance program that would leave the bulk storage of millions of Americans’ telephone records in the hands of phone companies, even though they are convinced the information now held by the

government is protected and question whether the changes would actually do more to protect privacy.

President Barack Obama intends to ask Congress to end the bulk collection of Americans’ phone records.

Instead, the government would ask phone companies to search their records for possible links to terrorism.

Obama said that any alternatives to the government holding onto the phone re-

cords posed difficult problems and raised privacy issues. And Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he believes the data is safer with the National Security Agency, even though he recommended it be moved from the agency’s custody.

“We’re changing the program based on a perception, not a reality,” Rogers said shortly before he introduced

legislation that would end the program in its current form.

Americans, Rogers said, don’t want the government holding onto their data.

“They just didn’t have a comfort level with the NSA holding, in bulk, metadata, even though we had huge levels of protection,” Rogers said. “I do believe that privacy was better protected than you’re going to see in the phone companies.”

The metadata is the num-

ber called, the number from which the call is made, and the duration and time of the call, but not the content of the call or the callers’ names.

The White House proposal, which has not been described in great detail yet, and the House Intelligence Committee’s proposal both shift the custody of the phone records to the phone companies, which already hold onto the records for 18 months as federal regulations require.

Busloads of Ukrainian troops leave Crimea The ASSOCIATED PRESS FEODOSIA, Crimea – As former comrades saluted them from outside a base overrun

by Russian forces, Ukrainian marines in Crimea piled into buses Tuesday to head back to the mainland.

It was a low-key exit from this eastern Black Sea port, with fewer than a dozen friends and relatives on hand to bid the marines farewell.

A troop transporter bearing black Russian military plates trailed the bus as it pulled away.

Their departure came as Ukraine’s defense minister stepped down after harsh criticism for authorities’ often-hesitant reaction to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, which was formalized following a hastily organized referendum this month. And while Ukraine struggled to deal with its humbling by Russia, it also faced the menace of seething Ukrainian nationalists angered by the police killing of a leading radical.

Troops were given the stark choice of either staying in Crimea and switching allegiance to serve under Russia’s military, or leaving the peninsula to keep their jobs with the Ukrainian defense forces.

“The Russians threatened, intimidated, bullied and tried to get us to switch sides to Russia. It has been very difficult to resist this enormous pressure but I have made a choice that I can live with,” Senior Lt. Anatoly Mozgovoy told The Associated Press after arriving in the Ukrainian city of Genichesk .

“We were greeted as heroes in Ukraine. I was able to breathe freely for the first time in months,” the 30-yearold Mozgovoy said.

He said he left behind his wife and 7-month-old daughter, who were staying with his mother-in-law in Crimea until he finds out where he is being permanently deployed.

So far, 131 Ukrainian marines have left Crimea, the defense ministry said. They were being temporarily stationed at a military barracks in Genichesk but their final destination was still unclear.

At a summit on nuclear security in The Hague, Netherlands, President Barack Obama said Russian troops would not be dislodged from Crimea by force.

He noted that one of the achievements of his first nuclear summit in 2010 “was Ukraine’s decision to remove all of its highly enriched uranium from its nuclear fuel sites.”

“Had that not happened, those dangerous nuclear materials would still be there now. And the difficult situation we’re dealing with in Ukraine today would involve yet another level of concern,” Obama said.

In an address to parliament in the capital, Kiev, Defense Minister Igor Tenyukh denied that he had failed to issue clear instructions to his troops but reserved the right to resign.

The order to withdraw from Crimea was issued Monday, a week after many bases had already been stormed and seized by pro-Russian forces.

Lawmakers initially refused Tenyukh’s resignation but later accepted it and replaced him with Col. Gen. Mykhailo Koval.

About 4,300 Ukrainian servicemen and 2,200 of their relatives have asked to leave Crimea, Tenyukh said Tuesday. That means about two-

A Ukrainian marine reacts as his comrades leave the base Tuesday in Feodosia, Crimea. In Crimea, Ukrainian soldiers piled onto buses and began their journey to Ukrainian territory Tuesday, as former comrades saluted them from outside a base overrun by Russian forces. thirds of the 18,800 military personnel and relatives that he said were stationed on the Black Sea peninsula were taking their chances in Crimea.

Tenyukh said accommodations for incoming soldiers were being prepared at boarding houses and other facilities in Kiev. Oleksandr Rozmaznin, deputy chief of operations for Ukraine’s armed forces, said navy troops were being redeployed in port cities along Ukraine’s southern mainland – in Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson.

The Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said 11 of its servicemen have been abducted

by Russian troops and remain unaccounted for, including Col. Yuliy Mamchur, a commander who earned wide acclaim in Ukraine for defying besieging pro-Russian forces until his base was stormed over the weekend.

Ukraine’s new government is struggling to consolidate control amid ominous signals of discontent from Right Sector, a radical nationalist movement that played a key role in the anti-government demonstrations that prompted President Viktor Yanukovych to flee to Russia in February.

One radical, Oleksandr Muzychko, was shot dead overnight as he was being detained by police, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday.

Moscow has cited the alleged influence of nationalist groups like Right Sector to justify its hasty annexation of Crimea, which has a large Russian majority.

Russian state television, which is widely viewed by Ukraine’s Russian-speaking population in the east, has regularly aired lurid reports on Muzychko’s antics as part of what media analysts say is a sustained effort to undermine the government in Kiev.

But many in Ukraine downplay the group’s importance and it has no posts in the new government. Police say Muzychko was being sought for organized crime links, hooliganism and threatening public officials.

Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh lashed out at his killing.

“We cannot silently watch as the Interior Ministry carries out active anti-revolutionary activities,” Yarosh said.

His group demanded the immediate resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and the arrest of the head of the Sokol special forces.

Family of Flight 370 victims protest The ASSOCIATED PRESS KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Frustration over the fate of Flight 370 mounted, with gale-force winds delaying the search in the rough and remote seas off western Australia, and angry relatives shouting “Liars!” in the streets of Beijing about Malaysia’s declaration that the plane went down with all aboard.

The weather had improved

by Wednesday morning when a total of 12 planes and two ships from the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand were scheduled to resume the hunt in a vast expanse of the southern Indian Ocean.

The bad weather forced a daylong delay Tuesday by search planes searching for any pieces of the Malaysia Airlines jet – tangible evidence for the families seeking closure after more than two weeks of anguished uncertainty.

Although officials sharply narrowed the search zone based on the last satellite signals received from the Boeing 777, it was still estimated at 622,000 square miles, an area bigger than Texas and Okla-

“We’re not searching for a needle in a haystack – we’re still trying to define where the haystack is,” Australia’s deputy defense chief, Air Marshal Mark Binskin, told reporters Tuesday at a military base in the Australian west coast city of Perth as idle planes stood behind him.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which coordinates the search on Malaysia’s behalf, said Wednesday’s search would focus on 30,900 square miles of ocean.

The search area is about 1,550 miles southwest of Perth.

Malaysia announced Monday that an analysis of satellite data received after Flight 370 left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8 indicated the plane had gone down in the Indian Ocean, killing all 239 people aboard.

The finding did not answer troubling questions about why the plane was so far off-course, and China, home to 153 of the passengers, demanded that Malaysia turn over the satellite data used to

determine the plane’s fate.

The airline’s chairman, Mohammed Nor Mohammed Yusof, said it may take time for further answers to become clear.

“The investigation still underway may yet prove to be even longer and more complex than it has been since March 8th,” he said.

The search for the wreckage and the plane’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders could take years because the ocean can extend to up to 23,000 feet deep in some parts.

It took two years to find the black box from an Air France jet that went down in the Atlantic Ocean on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in 2009, and searchers knew within days where the crash site was.

There is a race against the clock to find Flight 370’s black boxes, whose battery-powered “pinger” could stop sending signals within two weeks. The batteries are designed to last at least a month.

David Ferreira, an oceanographer at the University of Reading in Britain, said little is known about the detailed topography of the seabed where Malaysia Flight 370 is believed to have crashed.

President Obama: Nuke security deal makes world safer

By MIKE CORDER The Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands – President Barack Obama declared Tuesday that a security summit took “concrete steps” to prevent nuclear material falling into the hands of terrorists

even though Russia and China failed to sign an agreement to beef up inspections.

One of the key results emerging from the two-day summit in The Hague was that 35 countries pledged to turn international guidelines on nuclear security into national laws

and open up their procedures for protecting nuclear installations to independent scrutiny.

The summit also featured new reduction commitments, with Japan, Italy and Belgium agreeing to cut their stocks of highly enriched uranium and plutonium.

8BRIEFS Sex abuse survivor becomes leading activist VATICAN CITY – Marie Collins is not your ordinary papal adviser.

Sexually assaulted as a child by a hospital chaplain, Collins went onto become a leading Irish activist demanding justice for the victims of priestly abuse and a fierce critic of the Catholic Church’s handling of the scandal.

Now she has been named to Pope Francis’ commission on setting sex abuse policy, one of eight people – half of them women – who will help craft the panel’s scope and advise the church on best practices to protect children.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Collins said her top priority was for the Vatican to punish those bishops who have covered up for priests who raped children.

“This was not about vague commitments, it was about taking tangible and concrete steps to secure more of the world’s nuclear material so it never falls into the hands of terrorists and that’s what we’ve done,” Obama said.

The U.S. president initiat-

ed a string of summits in 2010 aimed at preventing terrorists getting their hands on weapons-grade nuclear material. He hailed the progress made so far as a “fundamental shift in our approach to nuclear security.”

Since 2010, the number of countries that have enough material

to build a nuclear weapon has fallen from 39 to 25.

“I’ll close by reminding everyone that one of the achievements of my first summit in 2010 was Ukraine’s decision to remove all of its highly enriched uranium from its nuclear fuel sites,” Obama said.

Navy: Shooting suspect didn’t have own weapon

NORFOLK, Va. – A civilian approaching a Navy destroyer at the world’s largest naval base late at night took a weapon from a sailor who was standing watch and used it to shoot and kill another sailor who was trying to help his embattled colleague, Navy officials said Tuesday.

Navy security forces then killed the suspect, who was authorized to be on Naval Station Norfolk and did not bring his own weapon on base, according to Capt. Robert Clark, the base’s commanding officer.

Q: Where do I get recommendations for a lawyer in divorce, custody or paternity matters?

A: With about 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce, you have friends who are divorced. If their circumstances are like yours, ask friends. Seek recommendations of professional people including therapists, accountants and marriage counselors.

Courthouse personnel may also know good divorce lawyers. Also, lawyers you have dealt with are often a good source for a referral to a divorce lawyer.

Q: What are the sources you use when referring a client to a lawyer in a community where you do not know a divorce lawyer?

A: The first source I use is the MartindaleHubbell Law Directory. Martindale-Hubbell is available in some public libraries and is also online at www.martindale.com. It lists all

of the lawyers in the nation. It tells the year of birth of the lawyer, the year of licensing, and the college and law school the lawyer attended. It also grades the lawyers, A, B, C and no grade.

My estimate is that A lawyers constitute about the top 5 percent of lawyers. The grading is done by lawyers and judges. If a lawyer is not graded it is not necessarily a reflection on that lawyer’s ability, but usually means the lawyer is unknown to other lawyers and to judges.

A good matrimonial lawyer should be known to other lawyers and to judges because a good matrimonial lawyer appears in court.

If I am looking for the best lawyer available I will check the book, The Best Lawyers in America. In this book, for every state, it lists the various specialties, and lists the lawyers in the specialties believed to be the best. In Illinois there are 26 lawyers listed for family law, with only seven of them being outside of Chicago.

Q: Are the yellow pages a good way to find a lawyer?

A: Maybe. Illinois does not allow lawyers to state a specialty, but lawyers may state that their practices are Concentrated in or Limited to an area of law. In yellow page ads lawyers often identify the areas in which they practice.

While all divorce cases do not require a lawyer who is a family law “specialist,” the lawyer’s experience in practicing matrimonial law should be significant in your decision.

But the most important factor in selecting a lawyer is reputation. Reputation should be checked out by whatever means are available.

Gitlin & Busche limits its practice to family law.

Q: Is a consultation fee charged by most lawyers for an initial consultation?

A: No. In McHenry County most lawyers do not charge a fee for the initial consultation, but a significant number of lawyers do charge. You should decide if the reputation of the lawyer with whom you will consult, and the advice you expect to receive from that lawyer at the initial consultation, merit a fee for the initial consultation. A few lawyers, like Gitlin & Busche, will supply you a written memorandum of the consultation and the advice given. Having a written memo should be a consideration in deciding if you should consult with a lawyer and if you should pay a consultation fee.

Q: What should I expect to learn from the initial interview?

A: Whether you and the lawyer will be compatible and whether you can share facts with this lawyer without feeling the lawyer is being condescending or judgmental.

Good chemistry between lawyer and client is essential. Whether or not there will be good chemistry is a gut feeling you will come away with from this consultation.

You should, especially if you pay for the consultation, based on the facts you have given the lawyer, expect to receive projections from the lawyer, in broad terms, as to what may happen in regard to child custody, visitation, child support, division of property and maintenance.

Both deaths, however, happened during the time of year when meningitis cases start to increase.

“Spring is traditionally the time of year where there are slightly more numbers of meningitis,” Ludicky said.

A different strain of neisseria meningitidis than the one that killed Whitney Hayes is responsible for recent, unrelated outbreaks at Princeton University and the University of California-Santa Barbara, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

General meningitis symptoms include nausea, body aches, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, fever, vomiting and mental confusion. Vaccines also can prevent the disease, Ludicky said.

A meningitis vaccine is recommended at age 12 and a booster shot is recommended after the age of 16, she said.

“If they are showing symptoms, they need to go to the emergency room immediately,” Ludicky said. “It’s also important to let people know that this is a vaccine-preventable disease.”

• MENINGITIS Continued from page A1 The type of bacteria is commonly spread through coughing, sneezing and kissing among a larger population living in close quarters, such as a college dorm.

After receiving the latest report, the department provided antibiotics to preventably treat Rosalyn Hayes and the hospital personnel that tried to save Whitney Hayes.

Local health officials have said the isolated incident doesn’t pose a greater risk to the county, while the Hayes family doesn’t know exactly how Whitney Hayes acquired the communicable disease.

The incident was the first of two deaths associated with a meningitis. In the past 10 days, a different meningitis bacteria – streptococcus pneumonia – killed a 33-year-old McHenry woman, said Coroner Anne Majewski.

The two meningitis deaths are coincidental and in no way connected, Majewski said.

The two incidents would be like comparing “the whooping cough to the measles,” said Marylou Ludicky, communi-

Graduated tax system is used by 34 other states amendment would tack a 3 percent surcharge onto incomes over $1 million, which Madigan said would raise $1 billion a year for elementary and secondary education.

The proposals working in tandem, University of Illinois Springfield Professor Charlie Wheeler said, is possible, as Harmon’s question only deals with income above $180,000 and Madigan’s with income in excess of $1 million.

“They could work together,” Wheeler said, “if the language was made compatible before they were on the ballot.”

Harmon’s proposal has already encountered resistance from a number of conservative groups, including Americans for Prosperity, which last week launched a television ad attacking the proposal.

Harmon said he plans to introduce a “significant education campaign” in the months ahead about the tax.

“We need voters to understand they are voting for their own pocketbooks,” he said.

The new rates, Harmon said, would equate to a tax cut for 94 percent of Illinois residents, if the current rates stay in place.

But Republicans say it’s a tax increase in disguise and as they accuse Democrats of going back on their word that the 2011 income tax hike would be temporary.

The rate for individuals is scheduled to drop from 5 percent to 3.75 percent in January.

“What’s fascinating is Illinois doesn’t take the lead on many things, but this is one place where for nearly two decades, there have been industry leaders who have been making green building a priority,” Imus said.

The savings are one of the reasons the practices are catching on, Imus said. Employees also like working in sustainable buildings and for sustainable companies.

For example, the Lost Valley Visitor Center saves about $11,050 a year through its geothermal heating and air conditioning unit, conservation district spokeswoman Wendy Kummerer said. That doesn’t include electricity and water savings.

The Lost Valley Visitor Center is trying to share information about energy efficiency.

Throughout the building, there are markers that share information about green technology and what visitors can implement on a smaller scale in their homes and businesses.

“McHenry County Conservation District continues to try to position itself as a leader in green living, while also conveying the message to residents and visitors that there is a shared responsibility for the health of the natural community within and beyond conservation district boundaries,” Kummerer said.

Remapping effort needs signatures A little more than a month remains to collect enough signatures to amend the state constitution and make democracy fair in Illinois.

Yes! for Independent Maps is a coalition of groups that have joined forces to reform the redistricting process in Illinois.

Every 10 years state House, Senate and Congressional district maps are redrawn by politicians after a new census is For the record completed. The party in control The Illinois Independent in Springfield Redistricting Amendment always draws the would establish an 11-member maps to help its Independent Redistricting party and hurt the Commission to draw the maps. opposite party.

Legislative Democrats controlled the process last time around in 2010, and the results were predictable: party gains of seven seats in the state House, five seats in the state Senate and four seats in the Congressional delegation.

Had Republicans had control, it would have been the other way around. That’s why politics must be removed from the redistricting process so that politicians are made more accountable to the people.

Yes! for Independent Maps needs 298,000 valid signatures by May 4 to get its proposed state amendment on the November ballot and allow voters to decide.

The Illinois Independent Redistricting Amendment would establish an 11-member Independent Redistricting Commission to draw the maps. According to the coalition’s website, the amendment includes safeguards to create the most nonpartisan, unbiased commission possible. Among those safeguards: • The commission would include only qualified Illinois citizens. Politicians, lobbyists and state contractors aren’t eligible.

• The process ensures that the commission reflects the geographic and demographic diversity of the state, as well as a balance between Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated citizens.

• Legislative leaders from both sides can each strike up to five names from the pool of qualified applicants. Republicans likely will strike the most partisan Democrats and vice versa, leaving behind a more nonpartisan group.

• A lottery system ensures that even if a few partisan actors sneak into the pool, they are unlikely to be appointed to the final commission.

CHANGE Illinois, Citizen Advocacy Center, League of Women Voters of Illinois, Illinois Chamber of Commerce and Reboot Illinois are among the organizations that form Yes! for Independent Maps coalition.

Year-round classes worth try Year-round schooling might not be so popular with schoolchildren, and that’s understandable.

It might not sit well with a lot of teachers, either. With the school-year pressures they face, the summer break’s opportunity to relax and recharge could be more valuable to them than to their pupils.

Public schools in Michigan and much of the nation schedule their classes with a summer break of at least two months. The practice represents decades, even a century, of tradition. But that doesn’t mean it’s the best way to educate our children.

There is evidence that changing the way classes are scheduled might improve the quality of education. Given the challenges of raising test scores and strengthening the value of high school diplomas, year-round schooling is worth a try.

The promise of year-round schooling is that it reduces or eliminates the learning loss students often experience after their two-month summer break. The problem – “summer slide” – makes education inefficient because teachers must help students recover the learning they forgot before learning new information.

A 2013 National Summer Learning Association survey of 500 teachers found 66 percent said it takes three to four weeks to reteach the previous year’s skills at the beginning of the next year; 24 percent said it takes five or more weeks.

There is no guarantee year-round classes will improve educational quality. As of yet, no research shows they enhance academic achievement.

State law requires 180 days of classes. If school districts get a waiver to meet that standard without a two-month summer break, let’s see if the schedule works.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Stop Pay it Forward study To the Editor: Jack Franks has introduced HB 5323 without any thought of fiscal responsibility or government restraint.

The bill requires the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to undertake a study focusing on the “intricacies, details, and mechanics of funding” to determine the practical and fiscal impacts of adopting a program in Illinois similar to Pennsylvania’s program (http://www.senatorleach.com/ payitforward).

ISAC also shall conduct a survey of similar programs within the 50 states, with specific regard to funding and feasibility. Franks feels all of this data can be collected and analyzed, and a report submitted before Dec. 1. A whopping 10 months to decide whether another government bureaucracy should be created? I think we already know the answer the commission will supply.

Why are we trusting the decision of the ISAC, a government agency whose website promotes fiscal irresponsibility and mission statement is “Making college accessible and affordable for Illinois students”? Does it sound like ISAC will have the taxpayer in mind when it makes its decision?

I urge you to investigate Pennsylvania’s program and educate yourself. Initial seed funding for the Pay It Forward Pay It Back Pennsylvania Program would be obtained with a 5 percent natural gas severance tax.

It also defers payments while a borrower is enrolled in a postgraduate degree program – a flaw our current government student financial aid system has.

It also minimizes nonpayment and collection issues which ultimately will burden the taxpayer. It is time to stop this program in Illinois before it starts, contact your state senators and representatives today.

Tower in FRG To the Editor: I was a trustee in Fox River Grove last time AT&T came up with this idea.

We also found out the towns surrounding Fox River Grove refused to have the tower built in their area.

Plus constituents opposed it.

As to the economics of cell sites, the village and Norge receive compensation from the sites. If the proposed tower goes up, will the village lose its compensation when AT&T moves and possibly anyone else using the water tower moves?

The only advantage I see is to surrounding towns.

Cherish veterans To the Editor: My friend, James (Jim) McAndrews died this month at the age of 94.

Jim served in both the European and Pacific theaters during World War II, and was active in veterans and political affairs after the war.

When I moved to McHenry, I happened to walk into his shop for a haircut. For 30 years, Jim cut my hair. During that time, we shared many stories and opinions. I found him to be, by turns, hilarious, ribald, politically astute and compassionate.

Most of all, he was a living bridge to history, and I shall miss him most in that role. Jim’s memory, and those of all veterans, should be cherished.

Goodbye, soldier. Rest in peace.

Phelps gone but hate he preached remains My parents taught me never to speak ill of the dead, but in the case of Fred Phelps, who died last week at the age of 84, I think they would have made an exception.

The man, who will be referred to in this column without the modifier “reverend,” because there was nothing reverent about him, defined the word “odious.” He and some of his family members constituted the entire membership of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. It was BINO, Baptist in name only. Phelps and some members of his family (though not all) picketed military funerals with signs that read, “God hates fags,” “God hates Jews,” and “thank God for dead soldiers.”

Phelps was an equal opportunity bigot.

The father of one dead service member went to court seeking to outlaw picketing outside churches where military funerals were held. He lost because the behavior, though deplorable,

VIEWS Cal Thomas was regarded as an exercise in free speech protected by the First Amendment.

The media played a major role in promoting Phelps and his cult-like family. The outrageous, the bizarre, the twisted, especially if these things can be tied to religion, are favorite subjects of broadcast networks and newspapers. Too bad those practicing true religion do not get the kind of coverage Phelps did.

Some years ago I was the object of Phelps’ wrath. I was the speaker at the Kansas Prayer Breakfast. It was the first time I had encountered Phelps and his bigotry. I mentioned my surprise at pickets outside a prayer breakfast to then-Gov. Kathleen Sibelius, who was seated next to me. She told me not to take it seriously because “they picket

everybody.”

Phelps claimed to be serving God with his diatribes against people he claimed were God’s enemies. But instead of directing hatred toward people, no less a figure than Jesus of Nazareth said, “love your enemies.” Real Baptist preachers will tell you it is Satan who hates and God who loves. They will tell you that Satan is a masquerader, a fraud and a liar. Does that sound like Phelps?

If Fred Phelps were a dollar bill, the Secret Service would have arrested him for being counterfeit. His is a counterfeit religion, which bears no resemblance to true faith.

Phelps’ language is useful in one sense. He should cause everyone to examine their own words and behavior toward people whose beliefs, lifestyle choices and faith might differ from theirs. Hate never converted anyone to another way of thinking, believing or acting. Hate does, however, give permission to some to behave

in evil ways. If even one person is beaten, killed, or otherwise harmed because Phelps’ family has encouraged them along such lines, even Baptists would say it is an affront to the real God that Phelps did not represent.

Acts 13:10 contains a verse that is applicable in Phelps’ case.

Paul, the Apostle, is speaking about a man named Elymas, who he judges to be a fraud: “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?”

Substitute the name Fred Phelps for Elymas and the description fits.

Though Fred Phelps is gone, the kind of hate he preached remains. It is why hate must be opposed no matter which group, faith, ceremony, or individual is the target.

Jail policy gets fresh review Ex-Chicago mayor’s nephew paying only $16 a day to serve time in county

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – On the heels of news that revealed McHenry County taxpayers are footing much of the bill for the jail stay of a highprofile inmate and former Chicago Mayor Richard M.

Daley’s nephew, an outdated and underused jail policy will be reviewed.

Richard J. Vanecko, 39, is serving his 60-day jail sentence in McHenry County after he pleaded guilty in January to involuntary manslaughter.

McHenry County charg-

es $16 a day to house outof-county inmates such as Vanecko, but the expense to house out-of-county inmates is more than the county charges. These requests are few and far between, officials said.

Vanecko’s attorneys cited security reasons and asked

that he serve his sentence here rather than in Cook County. McHenry County Judge Maureen P. McIntyre – who was tapped to preside over the trial – allowed it and said Vanecko must pay for his stay.

Adjunct faculty to raise issues MCC officials yet to sign deal

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com

McHenry County would begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses ahead of the original June 1 date. Cook, DeKalb, Cass, St. Clair and Champaign counties have issued same-sex marriage licenses after Attorney General Lisa Madigan encouraged clerks across the state to no longer wait.

McHenry County Clerk Katherine Schultz has decided not to issue licenses

CRYSTAL LAKE – Adjunct faculty at McHenry County College plan to address the Board of Trustees and administrators Thursday with some concerns that a previously agreed upon employment condition could be changed in the future.

Peter Ponzio, president of the college’s adjunct faculty association, said college officials failed to sign a memorandum of understanding last week that would have put in writing a verbal agreement between the two sides to allow existing adjunct faculty to work for multiple supervisors.

Working for multiple supervisors benefits adjunct faculty members as it allows them to get to the 24-credit-hour yearly course load by teaching multiple subjects and opens the possibility of providing tutoring, counseling or another service to reach the 29-credit-hour cap set by the college.

Ponzio said although all adjunct faculty have been allowed to do so until this point, he is concerned the lack of a memorandum of understanding would give the college the ability to change that clause at any time.

He said a number of adjunct instructors plan to raise the issue at Thursday’s meeting.

“We agreed to it verbally, and their attorney was involved in this whole process,” he said. “I really have no idea why they would not sign it.”

Tony Miksa, vice president of academic and student affairs, said there was no issue with the adjunct faculty and never a plan to take away the multiple supervisor clause since it was agreed to in September.

College officials had opposed the idea earlier in negotiations as they believed

Church planning same-sex ceremonies

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A McHenry church is preparing to officiate some of the first samesex marriages in McHenry County when the licenses become legal in June.

The Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation plans to hold weddings for multiple same-sex couples at 10:45 a.m. June 8. The free weddings will take the place of the church’s normal Sun-

day service and will be followed by a large reception.

Three couples have confirmed they will get married at the church, 56503 Bull Valley Road, McHenry, but the Rev. Sean Parker Dennison said it could hold up to 25 couples.

“Our congregation is taking a public stand to honor all same-sex couples,” Dennison said. “This is really a long-standing value in our denomination.”

Dennison will perform

the main ceremony, but each couple will be able to use their own officiant when it’s time to recite their vows.

“It won’t feel like a big Mass. It will be personal,” he said. “We’ll bake cupcakes.

A member of our congregation will DJ the reception.

We’re going to decorate. It will be a big deal. It will be a real wedding.”

Dennison said he and his board held off from announcing the June 8 wedding day in hopes that

Algonquin begins electric aggregation process

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – With voters in town giving the thumbs up to municipal electric aggregation for residents and small commercial customers, the village is preparing to start its program.

Village Board members began considering on Tuesday a plan of operations and governance and an agreement with the Northern Illinois Governmental Electric Aggregation Consortium, which already includes Genoa, Woodstock, Huntley, Lakewood and Ringwood. Board members agreed

to vote on joining the consortium next week.

Public hearings on the village’s aggregation program are scheduled for 10 a.m. and 7:15 p.m. Tuesday at Ganek Municipal Center.

If a 2012 electric aggregation referendum had been successful in Algonquin, the village would have joined the consortium, said Village President John Schmitt. However, that referendum failed by nine votes.

A referendum last week passed by a much wider margin.

The communities currently in the consortium have se-

cured an electric rate of 4.9867 cents per KWH for their residents. The consortium’s current contract with supplier Direct Energy ends in May, according to pluginillinois. org. The ComEd rate is 5.523 cents per KWH when including the transmission services charge.

The consortium is scheduled to go out for bid again on electricity rates in April, said Assistant Village Manager Mike Kumbera.

If there are favorable bid results for alternate electric suppliers, residents may see a change in rates as soon as July or August, Kumbera said.

Village Manager Tim Schloneger said joining the consortium would be beneficial.

“Moving forward, going out to bid, [joining] will help us aggregate our communities, plus our Algonquin community, which should hit the sweet spot for the size … to get us the best prices,” Schloneger said.

By pooling resources with other communities, the village is aiming to take advantage of the economies of scale of all the participating towns and secure a lower energy rate than it would have been able to individually, accord-

ing to a staff memo.

In communities where energy aggregation programs are in place, residents are billed for electricity through ComEd and use ComEd-owned grids, but the electricity flowing into each home and small business could come from a different source. ComEd maintains the infrastructure and responds to calls during power outages.

Even though voters approved municipal aggregation, residents can still opt out of the program and receive electricity supply from ComEd or through another supplier.

HARVARD: REPAIRS TO START THIS SUMMER

Harvard approves fix for sewer line

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – A stretch of sewer causing backups and requiring near-weekly service will get repairs this summer.

The Harvard City Council voted on Tuesday to approve a $360,000 project to replace

sewer line along Route 14 from South Park Avenue to Airport Road.

The project encompasses the worst section of the city’s significant sewer needs, which officials will continue to address as funds become available in the future, City Administrator Dave Nelson said.

than the engineer’s estimate, Nelson said.

The money is being drawn from the water and sewer fund.

Alderman Chuck Marzahl, who heads the Water and Sewer Committee, said the city’s sewer issues are compounded by the fact the lines are about 17 feet below

“We’ve been saving the money for this project for three, four years,” Nelson said.

The city has awarded the project to Rockford-based Stenstrom Construction, which is also redoing a city bridge on Marengo Road.

Bids for the project came in about 30 percent higher

Continued from page B1 “Vanecko is by no means being treated special by receiving that $16 [a day rate],” Court Administrator Dan Wallis said. “It is what it is.”

Vanecko paid $960 upon being booked, jail officials said.

In a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service, McHenry County is reimbursed at a rate of $85 per inmate a day to house federal immigration detainees.

If Vanecko were charged at that rate, he would have paid $5,100.

Figures for how much it costs to house other inmates each day were not immediately available.

The out-of-county inmate rate goes back to 1997, when a former chief judge of the 19th Circuit – of which McHenry County was then a part – raised it to $12 a day. It was increased again in 1999 to $16.

“Since that time it hasn’t been revisited,” Wallis said.

All McHenry County officials contacted for this story, including Wallis, County Administrator Peter Austin, Undersheriff Andrew Zinke and the deputy chief at the jail, Dan Sedlock, agreed it’s time to revisit the rate.

Under state law, McHenry County Chief Judge Michael Sullivan would have to issue an administrative order setting a rate that was agreed upon by the circuit court and the County Board.

“At this point, there will be conversations about it,” Wallis said. “The court is more than willing to sit down with the [parties involved].”

Jail sentences served here for out-of-county charges are rare, Sedlock said. The jail gets about one or two requests each year.

Most of those inmates are people who were criminally charged out of state – a DUI while on vacation, for example – and ask to serve their

“It’ll alleviate the issue in the real bad part,” he said.

“This section here is basically totally disintegrated.”

The contractor could break ground on the project in June or July, Marzahl said.

Officials said they hope to see the work completed by the end of the summer.

ground – significantly lower than a more typical sewer line that runs six to eight feet below the surface, he said.

The deep lines complicate projects and add to labor costs, he said.

But Marzahl said the work approved Tuesday is a positive first step.

• WEDDINGS Continued from page B1 ahead of June 1, citing that the Feb. 21 court ruling only applied to Cook County. Issuing licenses early could put them at risk of being declared invalid, she said.

“Other counties were fighting to be able to issue the marriage licenses,” Dennison said. “The attorney general said, ‘Look, everybody go ahead,’ and McHenry County is not following that. So we wanted to say there’s a space where you can come and celebrate

sentence at home, Sedlock said.

Currently, Vanecko is the only out-of-county inmate serving his sentence in McHenry County.

Vanecko was involved in a 2004 fight outside a Chicago bar that led to the death of 21-year-old David Koschman.

The case gained widespread attention and raised questions about whether there was a police cover-up that extended to the Daley family’s powerful influence. A special prosecutor’s report later concluded there was no evidence that Daley or other family members sought to impede the investigation into Koschman’s death.

Vanecko will be released April 15. His incarceration is followed by 60 days of home confinement. McIntyre also ordered that he pay $20,000 in restitution to the Koschman family.

“Since 1972, we’ve been ighting for LGBT rights. For us, it’s not a political belief. It’s a spiritual belief.”

Rev. Sean Parker Dennison Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation your commitment in a public way.”

Dennison said non-samesex couples will be allowed to marry June 8 as well, but preference will be given to same-sex couples if space becomes an issue.

Tree of Life has frequently held vigils and other gatherings to publicly sup-

port the right for same-sex couples to marry in Illinois.

The June weddings will be a celebration of a long fight for equal rights, Dennison said.

“Since 1972, we’ve been fighting for LGBT rights,” he said. “For us, it’s not a political belief. It’s a spiritual belief.”

New adjunct faculty limited to 1 supervisor • MCC Continued from page B1 it would become difficult to track hours and they did not want employees to exceed the 29-credit-hour mark, which would trigger Affordable Care Act costs.

• The Associated Press contributed to this article.

“As an institution, we have followed through with what we talked about with adjuncts,” Miksa said.

“Nothing has changed.”

Both sides agreed new adjunct faculty would be limited to one supervisor, which would by default cap the new faculty members to

the 12-credit-hour a semester course load as they could not also serve as tutors or counselors.

The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Board Room at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Wednesday, March 26, 2014 • Page B3 g

Hoffman Estates, IL. Joan was born on April 24, 1932, in Chicago, IL to Vincent and Sophie Slosarzyk. Joan grew up in Chicago and lived on Shakespeare Avenue until marrying her husband Joseph M. Buscaglia in 1960. Shortly after getting married the couple moved to Morton Grove, IL where they lived 27 years and raised their three children, Marie, Joe and Kathy.

A beautiful woman, Joan had a kind, gentle heart and thoughtful spirit. As one of nine children, Joan was very committed to her immediate family and siblings. She enjoyed years of family gatherings and fun family events. Her family would describe her as a good listener and loving. Joan was a stay at home mom when her children were young. Joan and Joe moved to Crystal Lake in 1988. She worked at the Crystal Lake Kmart for nearly 10 years. She always had a pleasant smile and serving attitude toward customers. Joan had a strong Catholic faith her whole life. Prayer

was a big part of her life and she frequently told family members she was praying for them. Joan loved listening to classical music and favored the Three Tenors.

When Joan was young, she worked at a record store in Chicago, and met several famous singers.

Record stores in the 1950's had parties for celebrities such as Nat King Cole. Joan shared with her children that she was at a private party with Clark Gable, but too embarrassed to go up and meet him.

In 2010, Joan moved to the Alden Poplar Creek nursing home. She was active at the nursing home and enjoyed participating in bingo and singing events. Residents would describe Joan as a smiling and helpful person.

Joan is survived by her husband, Joseph M. Buscaglia, Sr.; her daughter Marie (Mark) Guthrie; her son Joseph Buscaglia, Jr. and her daughter Kathy (Rainer) Engelmann;

One pilot also challenged the role of women. Her name was Amelia Earhart.

When Amelia was a young woman, it was not considered “ladylike” to become a pilot. Very few women had ever learned to fly. But Amelia was raised to be her own person and to follow her heart.

In 1920, she paid $1 for a 10-minute ride in an airplane. “As soon as I left the ground,” she wrote later, “I knew I myself had to fly.” Little did she know that she would become one of the world’s most famous pilots.

Amelia Earhart set many flying records. As a crew member of the Friendship Flight in 1928, she was the first woman ever to fly across the Atlantic.

ROBERTS WILL GUEST JUDGE ON ABC’S ‘DANCING’

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, March 26, 2014 • Section B • Page 6

NEW YORK – Robin Roberts is taking on some night work as a guest judge on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”

The “Good Morning America” anchor will appear on the show next Monday alongside the regular panelists. She’s the first of several guest judges scheduled this season, including Ricky Martin and Redfoo from the band LMFAO. Roberts’ appearance advances an already tight relationship between the two shows. “Good Morning America” usually gets a ratings boost when contenders from “Dancing With the Stars” appear for interviews, a big help in its own competition with the “Today” show.

BUZZWORTHY

Spotify slashes prices for U.S. college students LOS ANGELES – Spotify is wooing U.S. college students with a $5-a-month premium music deal, half off the regular rate. It hopes to entice a generation of music lovers that is more likely to stream music than buy CDs to pay for better features and mobile access.

The $5 monthly service announced Tuesday applies to students of post-secondary institutions eligible for federal aid programs, including two-year colleges and vocational schools. The price reverts to normal after graduation.

Jeff Levick, Spotify’s chief marketing and revenue officer, said a similar program in Britain has increased the number of paying Spotify customers over the last year.

He said Spotify is focused on people aged 18 to 24 because they make up the largest group of users and grew up streaming music rather than paying for song downloads.

Flavor Flav’s New York speeding case is postponed

Man ordered to stay away, not contact Swift LOS ANGELES – A man accused of saying he is married to Taylor Swift and threatening to harm her family was ordered Tuesday to stay away from the Grammy-winning singer for three years.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carol Boas Goodson granted Swift a restraining order against Timothy Sweet.

Court filings by Swift state that Sweet has sent messages threatening to harm the entertainer’s family or anyone who interferes with his perceived relationship with her. The singer wrote in a sworn declaration that she fears for her safety in public and at home.

“Mr. Sweet’s course of conduct, including threats to harm my family, are seriously alarming and harassing and are extremely distressing to me and my family,” Swift wrote in a sworn declaration filed March 3.

Sweet has also gone to the singer’s homes in Beverly Hills and Nashville, the filings state.

Sweet did not attend Tuesday’s hearing and did not respond to the singer’s restraining order petition, which included several online messages that were attributed to Sweet.

“Dearest Taylor, I’ll kill any man who gets in the way of our marriage,” one of the messages stated, according to the filing.

Sweet has not been charged in Los Angeles with making threats, court records show.

The restraining order covers Swift’s parents, her homes and places where she works in Los Angeles and Nashville.

MINEOLA, N.Y. – Entertainer Flavor Flav must return to his native New York at least one more time to answer charges stemming from his arrest as he raced to his mother’s funeral.

Police said the rapper and reality TV star was speeding and driving without a license, a felony, on Jan. 9 on the Meadowbrook Parkway on Long Island.

Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, told reporters as he entered a Nassau County courtroom on Tuesday that he hoped to resolve the case. Drayton, who lives in Las Vegas, grumbled that flights from there to New York were becoming expensive.

His attorney, Indji Bessim, said the case was postponed to May 16.

Funeral held for Scott in California LOS ANGELES – A small and private funeral service was held for designer L’Wren Scott in Los Angeles Tuesday.

A representative for Mick Jagger said “a small private gathering of family and close friends” attended the service at Hollywood

Forever Funeral Home in Los Angeles.

It included blessings and prayers led by Reverend Ed Bacon of the All Saints Church in Pasadena, and words of tribute from Jagger, Scott’s brother Randy Bambrough and others.

Poems were read by Jagger’s daughter, Karis, as well as the actress Ellen Barkin, a good friend of Scott’s. Jagger’s daughter, Jade, and his grandchildren, Mazie and Zak, read psalms.

“Will the Circle be Unbroken?” was sung by Bernard Fowler with Dave Stewart on guitar.

Scott committed suicide on March 17 in New York.

Actor writes his own obituary NEW YORK – Actor James Rebhorn is having the last word.

The character actor who appeared in “Homeland” and “Scent of a Woman” penned his own obituary that appeared on his church’s website in New Jersey. Rebhorn, a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Jersey City, died Friday at age 65 of skin cancer.

Rebhorn wrote that without his wife and two daughters “his life would have been little more than a vapor.” He urged his children to mourn him only as long as necessary, because “they have much good work to do, and they should get busy doing it.”

Rebhorn concluded that he was a lucky man in every way.

Speed to blame for Walker crash LOS ANGELES – The Porsche carrying “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker was traveling approximately 90 mph when it lost control on a suburban street and crashed, killing the actor and his friend, according to an investigation by law enforcement agencies into the November accident.

The sports car slammed into a light pole which had a speed limit sign of 45 mph, killing Walker and Roger Rodas in a fiery wreck.

Investigators concluded that unsafe driving, not mechanical problems, caused the crash, according to a person who has reviewed a report by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol. Investigators calculated that Rodas was driving between 81 mph and 94 mph when his 2005 Porsche Carrera GT began to drift as it lost control after coming out of a curve.

NFL DRAFT

Fiedorowicz doing final leg work J’burg grad seeing plenty of interest as draft approaches

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com At this point in his NFL draft preparations, C.J. Fiedorowicz couldn’t care less if he ever runs another 40-yard dash.

Instead, the Johnsburg native and former Iowa standout is devoted to promoting himself as the kind of dual-threat tight end who teams might be looking for when they stock their rosters with NFL rookies in May. So as Fiedorowicz participated

in Iowa’s pro day Monday in front of 28 pro scouts, he focused on building on what he did at the NFL Scouting Combine rather than trying to add to it.

Instead of trying to better his 4.76-second 40 time or his 7.10-second showing in the threecone drill, Fiedorowicz used a 30-minute position workout with Cincinnati Bengals tight ends coach Jonathan Hayes to display what he hopes is an attractive skill set.

“I kind of felt like I left a little out there when I was doing position drills (in Indianapolis) when I dropped a few balls,” Fiedorowicz said Tuesday. “I think [Monday] really proved that I can be that dual-threat guy where I can block but I can also receive.

“I wanted to prove to scouts that I can do both of those things.”

Fiedorowicz said his route-running was much sharper Monday than it was at the combine and was smoother coming out of breaks and moving downfield. Iowa’s pro day wasn’t open to the media, but former Dallas Cowboys executive and current NFL.com senior analyst Gil Brandt offered mix reviews in his appraisal of Fiedorowicz.

“He is OK, but not great at catching the ball,” Brandt wrote in an online blog. “But (he) is a really good blocker.”

Since the combine, Fiedorowicz has remained a popular target. After meeting with every team in Indianapolis, the 6-foot-5, 265-pound Fiedorowicz said six teams – Atlanta, Green Bay, New England,

Carolina, Tampa Bay and Houston – have inquired most about him.

Fiedorowicz is scheduled to work out privately for the Cowboys and Texans on Friday in Iowa City. But he also has plans to visit Tampa Bay, Detroit, Atlanta and New England in the next month as he continues to show that he could be a valuable addition to an NFL roster.

Fiedorowicz is projected to be a third- or fourth-round selection.

With the combine and his pro day over, Fiedorowicz said the rest will come down to teams getting to know him off the field rather than him being judged by skills tests AP file photo like the ones he went through in North tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz of Iowa, and a Indianapolis.

SOFTBALL: SANDBERG 5, MCHENRY 0

PALATINE 1, HUNTLEY 0

Warriors swinging cold bats McHenry held to only 4 hits in loss

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

Forward Gina Falato received the throw from Allison Rzepka in a group of about six players, but was able to get off a shot that whizzed by Galason’s outstretched arms.

“Huntley really limits opportunities in the back because they’re so organized and always double on the ball before you can get turned and into position,” Palatine coach Willie Filian said. “On that play, they were a little late and our girl made a good play.”

That was just one of the few times the Red Raiders got caught as their defenders limited good scoring angles throughout.

After the goal, Huntley played with urgency and picked up the pace on the offensive end, but found it hard moving against the wind, which made it difficult to get behind the Palatine defenders.

ROSEMONT – McHenry softball coach John DiFrancesca hopes that, as the weather warms, so too will the Warriors’ bats.

Scoring runs has been an early season issue for McHenry, and having to face a Sandburg team that has won sectional titles in eight of the past nine seasons was the challenge Tuesday at the Dome in Rosemont. Ultimately, the Warriors only managed four hits in a 5-0 loss against Sandburg.

“It’s very sporadic and chilly,” DiFrancesca said of his offense. “We haven’t strung anything together yet. We’re obviously trying to find our stride. It’s not quite there yet.”

The Warriors (0-2) were headed for trouble in the top of the first inning when Sandburg (1-0) loaded the bases with nobody out despite failing to record a hit. But McHenry pitcher Kristin Koepke struck out the next two Eagles batters and got a flyout to end the inning, preserving the scoreless tie.

McHenry had an opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the first. Sophomore Alex Martens led off with a triple, but the Warriors couldn’t advance her as the next three batters were retired.

“Even though we had a couple of extra-base hits, they’re individual,” DiFrancesca said. “We’re not putting anything together. We’re still in need of fine tuning. I know it’s early, but we need to fine tune some things.”

The Eagles scored the game’s first run on a wild pitch to take a 1-0 lead in the second. They added another run in the third on a bases-loaded, no-out walk. Koepke (0-2) was able to limit the damage, however, getting Sandburg’s No. 8 hitter to hit into a double play and then induced a grounder to escape with the Eagles only leading 2-0.

Sandburg put the game out of reach in a three-run fifth inning thanks to five consecutive hits to begin the inning.

“Our strategy was to hit spots and make sure that if they were going to get base hits that we weren’t going to give it to them easily, nothing over the plate,” Koepke said. “We just work through [jams] one pitch at a time.”

Galason’s return highlights opener

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Huntley senior Jessica Helm throws in the ball during the first half of Tuesday’s soccer match against Palatine in Huntley.

HUNTLEY – Late last season, Huntley goalkeeper Jessica Galason suffered a broken jaw in a match. On Tuesday, the senior played in her first high school game after the injury.

Galason had her jaw wired shut and was forced to drink shakes and other liquefied foods causing her to lose more than 10 pounds.

Since then, she has put that injury out of her mind and returned to the starting lineup where she played an important role for the Red Raiders in their 1-0 nonconference loss to Palatine.

The senior keeper made 13 saves in the match, including one early in the first half that required her to lay out for the save and ended up colliding with a Palatine forward.

“I was a little worried when she

took that knock,” Red Raiders coach Kris Grabner said, “but she got right back up.”

The jaw injury didn’t cross Galason’s mind when she made the play and has returned to full form, even when blocking shots that sometimes require her to make contact with other players.

“There are no worries from me,” the senior said after the match.

“That’s all fixed and I’m ready to go.”

The Red Raiders (0-1) needed all of her 13 saves to keep the score close as the Pirates poured on the offense in the second half, uncorking 11 of their 14 shots, when they shot on the south goal as the wind gusted from the north.

After being turned away by Galason and the Red Raiders defenders, the Pirates (2-0) finally broke through with 18:43 remaining in the match on a throw-in play.

Keeper makes 13 saves in 1st Huntley match since breaking jaw last season

BLACKHAWKS 4, STARS 2

Teravainen’s debut a winner Bulls believing

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Teuvo Teravainen was in mid-board hop – his skates hadn’t even touched the ice yet – when a smattering of vigilant Blackhawks fans started clapping. As Teravainen took his first few strides toward the faceoff dot, the cheer grew.

By the time he arrived to take his first draw as an NHL centerman, it was a full-blown roar.

“For me?” was his first thought.

Teravainen crouched down, swiped the puck away from Dallas’ Dustin Jeffrey at the 1:37 mark of the first period, and, well, not much happened. The seas didn’t part, the mountains didn’t move.

He didn’t get a Mario Lemieux first-shift goal or a Jonathan Toews first-shot goal. And he didn’t singlehandedly lead the way in the Hawks’ 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars, which kept them six points back of first-place St. Louis.

The hype was always over the top, even if the excitement was entirely justified.

But Teravainen did set up David Rundblad for a tricky one-timer that almost beat Kari Lehtonen on his first

AP photo

Blackhawks rookie Teuvo Teravainen (right) skates alongside Dallas Stars center Shawn Horcoff during the first period of Tuesday night’s game at the United Center. The Hawks won, 4-2, in Teravainen’s debut.

Next at Boston, 6 p.m. Thursday, CSN, AM-720 shift. He did intercept a pass in his own zone and spark a rush the other way with a sharp outlet pass. He did look shifty and comfortable in Patrick Kane’s usual spot along the half-wall on the power play. He won all seven of his faceoffs and got

important minutes down the stretch once Dallas made it a one-goal game on Ryan Garbutt’s second goal of the game, already having earned Joel Quenneville’s trust.

Teravainen looked comfortable. He looked confident. He looked competent. He looked quite good.

“I liked him,” Quenneville said. “I thought his awareness around the rink, both sides of the puck, and in the faceoff circle was very strong, very good.

He did a nice job. Good start.”

That’s all the Hawks hoped to see from their most touted and anticipated prospect since Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Sure, they wouldn’t have minded if Teravainen had potted a natural hat trick in his debut, but more than anything, they wanted him to ease into his new role. The Hawks don’t need Teravainen to be spectacular, to be a difference-maker, to be, in his own words, Superman. Heck, they might not even need him to play much at all – a decision yet to be made

by Stan Bowman and Quenneville.

They – like every other Hawks fan – just want to see what he can do. And so far, so good.

Teravainen, for his part, was pleased. He would have liked to have done more offensively, but he kept things simple and focused on his defensive responsibilities in his first game.

He admitted to some nerves, but said “that’s over now.”

Now, Teravainen just can’t wait to get out there again, whenever that might be.

“It’s so fun to play here,” he said. “And I think it’s easy to play here with these guys. Everybody’s so good.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Injured Bickell misses 3rd straight game

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – At the end of a long and trying season, things were just picking up for Bryan Bickell when he suffered an upper-body injury March 19 against St. Louis. He played the rest of the game, but has missed the three since, including Tuesday night’s game against the Dallas Stars.

“As of late, before that happened, things were going the right way,” Bickell said after returning to the ice for Tuesday’s morning skate. “I just need to bring my mindset back to where that was. I feel the playoffs are typical of my game. I just need to be healthy and bring my game then.”

Bickell said he had an “incident” during the second period

of the Blues game. He played through it, and even addressed the media after the game.

“Then later, I didn’t feel very good,” he said.

Bickell will travel with the Hawks to Boston on Wednesday for their upcoming three-game road trip, and could play as soon as Thurs- Bryan Bickell day night against the Bruins.

“You don’t want to go into the last 10 games, or the playoffs, with a lingering injury,” he said. “It might get worse if something comes up, but I need to get it back to where it was and be healthy going into the playoffs.”

Biding his time: David Rund-

GREEN BAY PACKERS

blad played in only his third game in three weeks Tuesday night. It was his second in three games, however, with Michal Rozsival still nursing a lower-body injury. But even in his first two appearances with the Hawks, Rundblad only played about eight minutes each night.

When he was acquired by the Hawks, he hoped to finally get some games after being a healthy scratch most of the season in Phoenix. But the 23-year-old puck-mover has tried to keep a positive outlook on his frustrating situation.

“It’s always tough to come to a new club in the middle, or even at the end, of the season and just expect to go right in there,” he said.

Although the Hawks haven’t had many practices late-

ly, Rundblad has taken the ice most days with some of the other lesser-used players to stay in shape and to stay ready for the few times he does get the call.

He still is holding out hope he can play well enough in those rare appearances to earn a spot in the playoff lineup.

“Even though I don’t get heavy minutes right now, I’m just going to go out there and just play with a lot of energy,” he said. “I guess we’ll see what happens.”

In and out: Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said Antti Raanta will get one of the starts in the upcoming back-to-back set at Boston and Ottawa. Quenneville also said Rozsival, who has missed five straight games, will resume skating in Chicago while the Hawks are on the road.

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com Bryan Bulaga was perfectly content to settle in at left tackle for the Green Bay Packers before a knee injury ended his 2013 season before it began.

Now the former Marian Central standout is on the move again.

Packers c o a c h M i k e Bryan Bulaga McCarthy told reporters Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla., that Bulaga will play right tackle this season.

McCarthy said he informed Bulaga of his decision a couple of weeks ago, according to WBAY-TV. Bulaga missed the entire season after sustaining the knee injury Aug. 3 during a

Family Night scrimmage at Lambeau Field. Bulaga’s replacement, David Bakhtiari, proved to be a suitable replacement at left tackle, giving McCarthy the flexibility to move Bulaga back to the right side. Bulaga started there for the Packers from 2010 to 2012.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported that McCarthy said Bulaga’s experience on the right side played into his decision, but he also liked the way Bakhtiari paired with left guard Josh Sitton last year.

Bulaga, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, told reporters in January he felt that his flexibility to play wherever the Packers need him was one of his strengths.

“I feel like I can go back and forth,” Bulaga said. “I felt pretty comfortable [at left tackle] at the time I got hurt in the Family Night. I felt pretty good about where I was at.”

CHICAGO – With Derrick Rose out and Luol Deng gone, who would have thought the Bulls would have the most wins (28) since Jan. 1 in the Eastern Conference and be jockeying for the No. 3 seed?

“You’ve got to believe in yourself,” said Joakim Noah, admitting surprise. “If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that this would be the scenario, no.

But there’s no time to be reminiscing.

We’ve got to Taj Gibson bring our ‘A game,’ play with a lot of energy, play with a lot of passion and play smart.”

Noah’s a huge part of the overachieving. Newcomer D.J. Augustin has brought a lot. Everyone staying healthy has been major.

And in this surprisingly good season, Taj Gibson also has been surprisingly good.

Always a strong defender and rebounder, he is providing critical scoring, too.

When Gibson put up 23 points and pulled down eight rebounds in the Bulls’ 89-77 staredown of Indiana on Monday, it was the 12th time he’s scored at least 20 points this season. In his first four years as a Bull, he had a total of five 20-point games.

“I always had a belief system,” Gibson said through his engaging Brooklyn accent. “Like Derrick told me, ‘Always believe in yourself.

Just take it and run with it.’

My teammates always believe in me. That’s the main thing. Everybody believes in each other. One guy goes down, everybody else is just going to keep playing.”

And like Noah, Gibson pointed out that the Bulls really have no time for this stuff now. Fans and media can reflect in midstream; players and coaches need to stay focused on the journey.

The way Gibson responded with a big game against the Pacers three days after calling them out as floppers ought to be pretty impressive to Bulls fans and other ob-

Next vs. Portland, 7 p.m. Friday, WCIU, AM-1000 servers. But it won’t resonate for long with Taj. “You have to get this off your back quick,” he said.

“In this league, once you start feeling good about yourself, somebody will come in and smack you right away.

You have to be humble at all times. Enjoy this night.

And tomorrow it’s behind us.”

With a needed three-day break until Friday, the Bulls might have bought themselves a few extra moments to savor their recent success.

But not longer, not with Porland up next. The Trail Blazers have won five straight against the Bulls.

“If you’re waiting to get to the playoffs to build your habits, you’re in trouble,” coach Tom Thibodeau said.

“The championship teams I’ve been around bring it every day, whether it’s practice, meetings, walkthroughs. It’s about building the right habits. You have to play this game with an edge.”

If Thibs is an unrelenting drill sergeant on the point, Gibson is a dedicated recruit.

“We just follow what the bulletin board says,” Gibson said. “Thibs, he’s a guru.

He’s in the lab every day from 9 to 5. We trust what he tells us. Everybody is so familiar with the defense now, even our new guys are in sync. It shows in how we’re prepared for the games.”

It also shows on the won-lost balance sheet. And the games of players like Gibson.

Note: Tickets for the first two rounds of the playoffs will go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday at Bulls.com, NBAtickets.com, the United Center and 800-4NBA-TIX, the Bulls announced.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Louisville’s much-debated No. 3 seed doesn’t matter much anymore.

Shoni Schimmel had 26 points, seven assists and five steals to help Louisville thump host Iowa, 83-53, Tuesday night and earn its fifth trip to the Sweet Sixteen under coach Jeff Walz.

Melissa Dixon Antonita Slaughter added 17 points on five 3s for the third-seeded Cardinals (32-4), who advanced to Sunday’s regional semifinal at home against No. 7 seed LSU. Louisville might still have to go through a higher seed to return to the Final Four in Nashville. But even under that scenario, the Cardinals would get top-seeded Tennes-

see in the Elite Eight in their own gym.

If the way the Cardinals played in Iowa City is any indication, they’ll be even tougher to beat at home.

“We’re trying to peak at the right time,” Louisville’s Tia Gibbs said. “We’re trying get prepared for Nashville, not necessarily just this game.

So we stay focused no matter what.”

That was apparent against the shell-shocked Hawkeyes.

Louisville jumped out to a 17-point halftime lead and stretched its edge to 47-23 just 90 seconds into the second half.

The Cardinals shot 53 percent, forced 19 turnovers and led by as many as 38 points.

Freshman Ally Disterhoft had 15 points for Iowa (27-9), which finished just 1 of 16 from 3-point range.

Star Samantha Logic had 12 points for Iowa, but she also turned it over nine times.

Johnsburg alumna Melissa Dixon finished with five points.

Warriors’ offense ‘sputtering’ • WARRIORS Continued from page C1 The Warriors struggled to solve Sandburg starting pitcher Sarah Herold. Herold (1-0) retired nine consecutive batters after Martens’ lead-off hit until Dana Walsh hit a double to start the fourth.

But again, the Warriors couldn’t advance her, and Herold got the next three batters to fly out to end the inning. Herold struck out eight and gave up three hits in five innings while not walking a batter.

“Our hitters today hung around and battled, which made a big difference, I think,” Sandburg coach Jim Fabianski said. “By hanging around, they’re seeing a lot of pitches.”

The Warriors’ lineup still is taking shape through two games. They’re missing four players, who are on spring break vacation, and potentially a couple of them could be starters. DiFrancesca is using this time to see exactly what McHenry has.

“We’re sputtering, and we’re looking for that rhythm that hasn’t quite come yet,” DiFrancesca said.

but there was a lot of good in it.”

Huntley also took a hit offensively as it was missing one if its top players – forward Delaney Loprieno. The senior, and Northern Illinois recruit, was expected back this season after missing most of last season with a torn ACL but missed Tuesday’s match because of an issue with the injury.

She had an MRI Tuesday and will be fitted with a new knee brace to prevent further stabilization issues.

“They don’t think it’s anyting too serious,” Grabner said.

“It sounds like the prognosis is pretty solid, so we should see her again pretty soon.”

Huntley plays Hersey at 3 p.m. Friday at home.

There will be an NFL draft party for former Johnsburg football player C.J. Fiedorowicz from 5 to 10 p.m. May 9 at Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center in Johnsburg.

That is the night for Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Fiedorowicz, a tight end from Iowa, is expected to be selected in the second or third round. Lee Ann Fiedorowicz arranged the party so her son could celebrate his big moment with family and friends.

“He was asked to go to Radio City Music Hall [for the first round], but he wanted to be in Johnsburg with his friends,” Lee Ann said. “He said, ‘It’s going to be

so much fun. I might shed a tear when they call my name.’ ” Fiedorowicz is 6-foot-5, 265 pounds and is ranked as one of the top five tight ends in the draft. He was the 2009 Northwest Herald Football Player of the Year and the 2010 Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year.

Lee Ann Fiedorowicz has pre-signed trading cards from the Senior Bowl her son has autographed. Fans also can get pictures with Fiedorowicz, the band LOL will be playing from 8 to 10 p.m. and sponsors CLM Insurance and Adams’ Auto Body will provide food.

– Northwest Herald

Fiedorowicz plans to visit with several teams still • FIEDOROWICZ Continued from page C1 Fiedorowicz spends his free time researching what teams might be most apt to draft a tight end and works with his California-based agent, Jack Bechta, to put himself out to possible suitors.

As taxing as the past few months have been, Fiedorowicz knows the next six weeks will be the most

critical.

“Doing all this training for 40s is hectic – it’s basically a track meet,” Fiedorowicz said. “It’s not about football. It’s a lot of nonsense that doesn’t have anything to do with football.

“Now, they want to get to know you outside of football. A big part of it is what you’ve put out there on film. But it’s also about what kind of person you are.”

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Ralph Wilson, the Buffalo Bills owner who helped found the American Football League in 1960 and played a key role in the merger with the NFL, died Tuesday. He was 95.

Wilson died at his home in Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., said Mary Mazur, spokeswoman for the Wayne County medical examiner’s office.

He had been receiving home hospice care.

Source: Texas scout at Cubs game Tuesday

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – If the Texas Rangers have anything left of interest in their farm system – and if their “haunted” general manager is willing to trade with the Cubs again – Darwin Barney could be the next Cub to head to Texas.

The Rangers had a scout at Tuesday’s game against the Angels to specifically evaluate the Cubs’ Gold Glove second baseman (who played shortstop Tuesday), according to a major league source.

The Cubs have fielded calls this week from teams looking to fill late-spring roster needs, said another source.

The Rangers – two seasons removed from back-to-back World Series appearances – lost second baseman Jurickson Profar to a shoulder injury that could sideline him half the season.

Some in the organization are skeptical Texas GM Jon Daniels would be eager to jump into negotiations after sending six young players to the Cubs the past two seasons for so-so rent-a-player performances from Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza. “[The Garza] one’s got a chance to haunt us and haunt me,” Daniels recently told the Arizona Republic.

Meanwhile, Cubs manager Rick Renteria was conspicuously vague when asked if he still considers Barney his starting second baseman – as he had said early in camp.

“I think as we go into the season we have certain guys that are going to play particular positions and the second day you might see a different lineup,” Renteria said. “The reality is that the matchups that we have and that we’re looking at throughout the course of the season will determine how we use all our guys.”

If Mike Olt wins the third base job, the Cubs would have a surplus of players available for second base, including lefty hitting Luis Valbuena,

Cubs infielder Darwin Barney looks to home plate during a spring training game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 14 in Mesa, Ariz. who otherwise would be a platoon third baseman.

Castro passes test: As promised, the Cubs “pushed” shortstop Starlin Castro in aggressive fielding drills Tuesday, and he responded well enough to put to rest any lingering doubts that his hamstring could be a problem going into the season.

“He did some extensive, strong, agility fielding,” Renteria said. “Left, right, forward, back – quick, explosive actions, and he looked good in all of them.

“I’m totally comfortable with his health. He’s 100 percent. Totally comfortable with it.”

Castro seemed even more upbeat than he had in recent days as he works back from the March 2 hamstring injury “I didn’t feel anything,” he said, “not scary, nothing.”

Castro, who hasn’t played in a big-league spring game since the injury, is scheduled to play six or seven innings in the field in a minor-league game Wednesday, with at least six trips to the plate, and then be evaluated for a possible game or two on the bigleague side before heading to Pittsburgh for Monday’s opener.

The Cubs have three games left after Wednesday before breaking camp.

Olt ready to start Third baseman batting .277 in Cactus League

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Mike Olt doesn’t seem to know how badly Cubs fans want to see him in the Opening Day lineup at third base. But he did get a glimpse at Cubs Convention of how hungry fans are for any semblance of progress and hope in this long, ugly rebuilding process.

“That’s where I first saw it,” Olt said. “People are sitting there crying because they’re so excited for the season. I used to think Texas fans were pretty intense and really supportive – and they are. But the way the Cubs fans are, it’s a huge deal.”

He said he didn’t hear a lot from fans about being the Cubs’ third baseman this season.

“They just mainly asked me how my eyes were,” he said.

That’s the thing.

“He’s really seeing the ball well,” manager Rick Renteria said, referring to the tearduct and vision problems that ruined Olt’s 2013 season and made him available to the Cubs when they traded right-hander Matt Garza to the Rangers in July.

Next vs. Arizona, 3:10 p.m.

Wednesday

runs in 16 games full of deepcount at-bats is an indication of what’s to come.

“He’s looked like the guy from an offensive side that everybody expected to see a few years ago,” Renteria said.

Olt might not make the difference between last place and first for the Cubs, but if he can stick at third, he might be the first guy added to the lineup worthy of any excitement since Anthony Rizzo answered the hype in 2012 with an impressive three-month debut.

If nothing else, Olt feels as close to the big leagues as he ever has because nobody named Adrian Beltre plays his position with the Cubs.

“It’s almost like I knew I wasn’t going to play third (for the Rangers), so it was kind of like I didn’t have that competitive edge as much,” he said.

“Now I can definitely have a shot playing there, and I’ve been focused the whole time.

I definitely think that helps.”

That focus means not thinking about roster decisions that are out of his control.

“I’m just excited how I came back hitting, especially after last year,” Olt said. “The way I feel at the plate and the way I have that confidence back that I had two years ago, we’ll see what happens.”

Seeing the ball hasn’t been nearly the challenge – or nearly the obstacle in Olt’s battle for a big-league job – as throwing it has been this spring.

That’s why Tuesday might have been the biggest day of the spring for Olt, who was considered one of the better defensive third basemen in the minors when Baseball America ranked him the 22nd-best prospect in baseball entering 2013.

A sore shoulder that prevented him from playing third until late last week has raised doubts about Olt’s fitness to play his position, much less make the team, especially after he airmailed his first throw from third Sunday.

But Olt sparkled in the field Tuesday, charging a bunt

by Mike Trout in the third and firing to first in one motion for the out, then making another strong, accurate throw after another nice play in the fifth.

“The thing about defense is it always comes quick for me,” he said. “Hitting was the part that never really came quick.

I think that’s a good thing for me.”

WHITE SOX NOTES

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Danks 5th in Sox’s rotation Nieto earns spot as backup catcher

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – John Danks is penciled in as the No. 5 starter in the White Sox rotation.

Think he cares about where he’s slotted?

The only remotely upsetting thing about that for Danks – who is eager to make good on his end of the $65 million, five-year contract the Sox gave him after the 2011 season – is that he must wait until April 5 for his first start in Kansas City. That’s going to test his patience considering how strong and healthy he feels going into a season that starts Monday when the Sox play the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field.

“I can’t wait to get going,” Danks said Tuesday.

“I’m excited, feeling good and I’m ready to have another good year again – it’s been a while.”

Chris Sale will start the opener, and manager Robin Ventura announced Tuesday that Felipe Paulino, Jose Quintana, rookie Erik Johnson and Danks will follow in an order that breaks up lefties Sale, Quintana and Danks as well as possible.

Danks, who gets his final tuneup of the spring in the Sox’s second-to-last Cactus League game against the Reds on Wednesday, would have fit anywhere in the rotation, Ventura said. But spacing lefties Sale and Quintana,

him his lucrative deal. Twenty-eight homers bit him in the rear.

“Trying to get more than I maybe had,” Danks said.

“I’ve never been a finesse guy and I was trying to pitch like I always had with less stuff. By doing that the ball was getting up, the changeup didn’t have that big of a difference and the cutter wasn’t good. It was just all around bad. I was able to learn some things, like flipping a curve ball in there to steal a strike and get ahead. That’s something I’ll carry over this year.”

Confidence is one thing and doing it is another but Danks is sure he can return to his pre-surgery form.

“I really do,” he said. “I feel better this year than I have in two or three years. I know I’m capable.”

Injuries always enter into the risk-reward realm of pitchers and contracts. With two years left in his, Danks knows he has some making up to do.

“I’m very blessed, I understand that,” he said. “I, obviously, owe the White Sox a lot more than what I’ve given them to this point. I feel like there is plenty of time to make up for that. That’s the goal, to make it worth it for them.”

who are considered the Sox’s top two pitchers, on the top end of the rotation situated Danks at the end.

On March 19 a year ago, the Reds shelled Danks for 10 runs in 3⅓ innings in his last start of spring training.

After that, he learned he wouldn’t make the Opening Day roster and would be going to extended spring trainJohn Danks ing to build up arm strength. He had undergone shoulder surgery in August and was far from being back.

Being away from the team after toiling every day to rehab his shoulder only to be held back was as low as it got for the 28-year-old Texan.

“Those were some long, lonely days, man,” Danks said. “It was kind of emotional.

“Fortunately I had a lot of people – family, teammates, friends, training staff – helping me and talking me off the ledge. Everybody was in my corner.”

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. — The White Sox liked what they saw of catcher Adrian Nieto early on in camp. The only drawback for the Rule 5 draft pick – and it’s significant – is how he will navigate a jump from Single-A to the major leagues.

The Sox have decided that Nieto will be the one to back up Tyler Flowers behind the plate, Adrian Nieto choosing him over Hector Gimenez.

“He’s earned it,” manager Robin Ventura said Tuesday.

“The receiving ability and [controlling the] running a game was more advanced than I thought he would be.

We are comfortable with that.

“I don’t think by any means he’s a finished product. Where he’s at is pretty impressive from where he started out when he got here in the spring. I feel confident he can handle it.”

Pitchers like throwing to Nieto, and he handles the bat well enough. A switch-hitter, Nieto is 5 for 20 with two doubles and five RBIs in Cactus League games. Nieto batted .282 with 11 homers last year.

Because Nieto was a Rule

5 pick, he must stay on the active roster all season or be placed on waivers.

“The pitchers enjoy throwing to him,” Hahn said.

“We’ve had conversations with each of the starters and most of the relievers about their comfort level with each of the catchers and their reviews have been good.”

Beckham update: Ventura didn’t rule out second baseman Gordon Beckham (left oblique strain) being ready for Opening Day on Monday, but that is a long shot.

Beckham is hitting and taking ground balls, but he would need to get in an extended spring game here before playing, and the club will be cautious about getting him back on the field.

“There’s people that want me to take it easy getting back,” Beckham said. “If I feel good enough to go, then we’ll go on Monday. If not, I don’t think it will be a prolonged stint, it would be one of those things the first day I could come off, I’d probably come off.”

Beckham, who hasn’t played since March 14, could go on the disabled list retroactively so it wouldn’t have to be for 15 days if he starts the season on the DL. “You don’t want to rush him to get back,” Ventura said. “You know it’s going to be cold.”

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly is expected to have surgery again after the recurrence of cancer that his wife described as aggressive and “starting to spread.”

Doctors for the 54-yearold former Buffalo Bills star are leaning toward surgery Thursday or perhaps Tuesday at a New York City hospital, brother Dan Kelly told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Kelly’s doctors in Buffalo said March 14 the cancer was found to have returned when Kelly had follow-up tests after surgery last June to remove cancerous cells from his upper jaw.

A-Rod wants video deposition uncirculated NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez’s lawyers want to keep a lid on potential video of him being questioned in his lawsuit against a New York Yankees team doctor, and a judge indicated Tuesday they might have valid concerns about sensitive medical queries becoming fodder for online sensation.

But a lawyer for the doctor cautioned the court against affording special protections to a celebrity, even though the attorney said he had no intention of releasing such a video, if it eventually is made.

The dispute – an early skirmish in the suspended Yankees slugger’s legal fight over treatment of a 2012 hip injury – hints at the heat the case could generate, even though it’s separate from the Rodriguez’s bigger and now-resolved battle against Major League Baseball.

Cowboys file complaint against Jay Ratliff ORLANDO, Fla. – The Dallas Cowboys have filed a complaint against Jay Ratliff and are seeking compensation from the defensive lineman.

Ratliff was sidelined last season while recovering from a sports hernia that required surgery. He was placed on the physically unable to perform list, but when he told the Cowboys he was not physically able to play, they released him in October.

A week later, Ratliff’s surgeon medically cleared him to play and he signed with the Bears, playing five games for them.

The collective bargaining agreement does not cover such disputes, so the Cowboys have brought their complaint to the NFL’s management council and the players’ union.

Wife of NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Petty dies RANDLEMAN, N.C. – Lynda Petty, the wife of NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Petty, died Tuesday after battling cancer for several years. She was 72.

Petty Motorsports spokesman Jeff Dennison said in a statement that Petty was surrounded by her family when she died at her home in Level Cross. He said she had been fighting cancer for the past several years.

BEARS

DE tough loss for Raiders

By ADAM L. JAHNS ajahns@suntimes.com ORLANDO, Fla. – When it comes to defensive end Lamarr Houston, Raiders coach Dennis Allen knows what he’s losing and the Bears are gaining.

Allen explained why the win-starved Raiders would say farewell to an emerging, versatile 26-year-old talent.

“Yeah, he was a guy we would have liked to have been able to retain,” Allen said Tuesday during the AFC coaches breakfast at the NFL owners meetings. “But, obviously, there’s a business aspect to the [NFL]. Just because you want to retain somebody doesn’t mean that, from a business standpoint, it’s going to work.”

Houston was signed to a five-year, $35 million deal ($14.9 million guaranteed) by the Bears to be a cornerstone of their defensive rebuilding.

Houston’s production and overall effort will be closely monitored with Julius Peppers wearing the green and gold of the Packers and Shea McClellin competing at linebacker.

What exactly are the Bears getting in Houston?

“They’re getting a guy who is going to play a bunch of snaps, and he’s going to give them everything he’s got,” Allen said.

“He’s a high-effort player.

He plays really hard. He plays

powerful. He plays the run and pass equally well.”

The Bears quickly have morphed into an offensive team under coach Marc Trestman, but fixing the defense that gave up nearly 400 yards a game in 2013 remains the top offseason priority.

As expected, general manager Phil Emery was proactive in free agency, signing HousLamarr ton, defensive Houston end Willie Young, safeties Ryan Mundy and M.D. Jennings and a handful of others who will compete for roster spots. Re-signing cornerback Charles Tillman to a one-year deal was critical.

The hope is that the Bears can land one or two players in the draft in May who can compete for starting spots, too, much as guard Kyle Long and offensive tackle Jordan Mills were able to do last season.

Being an offensive-oriented team might seem foreign after nearly a decade under former coach Lovie Smith, but Bears chairman George McCaskey has no issue with it and expects the defense to regroup.

“When the Monsters of the Midway were born, it was the innovative offense with the T-formation and the man in

motion,” McCaskey said. “It was a very dynamic offense that couldn’t be stopped.

“But we want to get the defense back to a Chicago Bears brand of football, and we think it’s going to happen.”

It will be a process under defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and his revamped staff, but McCaskey and team president Ted Phillips fully support the plan Emery and Trestman have in place, which includes re-signing Cutler to his lucrative deal.

“All of the free-agency decisions are made by Phil and Marc with Ted’s and my support,” McCaskey said.

“I have all the faith in the world in the plan that Phil and Marc have put together,” Phillips said. “We’re excited about the season and what we have done so far in free agency, including Jay.” And including Houston, who had a career-best six sacks last season. When asked about losing Houston, Allen quickly pointed to the Raiders’ signings of defensive ends Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith and linebacker Lamarr Woodley.

“We lost a good young player,” Allen said. “I think anytime you lose young talent, that hurts you. But it was a situation where Lamarr thought it was a good situation for him, and he decided to move on, and we’ve got to move on from it.”

More rave reviews for Garoppolo

By ADAM L. JAHNS ajahns@suntimes.com ORLANDO, Fla. – The rave reviews keep pouring in for Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

“First of all, [he’s] a class act,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said, “a really good kid. He’s smart.”

“Impressive, very impressive,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said.

Harbaugh and O’Brien familiarized themselves with

Garoppolo, a Rolling Meadows graduate, when he was invited to Northwestern’s pro day.

“He went through some tough times at Eastern there, where they were 2-9 two years ago, then kind of turned it around,” O’Brien said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. “He was a big part of that.

“He’s got a quick release.

He’s athletic. I really enjoyed talking football with him. He’s a great kid.”

A potential scenario to

consider is the Texans and O’Brien passing on a quarterback with the first overall selection in the draft in May and taking Garoppolo with the first pick of the second round.

O’Brien definitely has a feel for successful quarterbacks, having worked with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for years before leaving for Penn State in 2012.

Then again, some draft pundits contend that Garoppolo won’t last past the first round.

Tweaking a

classic

By L.V. ANDERSON Slate

S

ome chocolate chip cookie questions are easy.

Should you put nuts in your chocolate chip cookies? No, obviously. Should your chocolate chip cookies be chewy or crunchy? Chewy, duh.

Others are more difficult. Should you stick with the classic recipe, the one that Ruth Wakefield invented at the Toll House Inn in 1938 and that has adorned packages of Nestle chocolate chips for decades? Or should you choose a newfangled, sophisticated, scientifically refined recipe, like the one The New York Times published in 2008? (The ingredients list for the Times recipe, based on French pastry chef Jacque Torres’ version, begins, “2 cups minus 2 tablespoons [8 1/2 ounces] cake flour, 1 2/3 cups [8 1/2 ounces] bread flour . . . “ 1-2-3-4 cake this is not.)

I have a hard time answering this question. There’s something about the proposition of finding the “perfect” chocolate chip cookie via cold, calculating clinical trials, that smacks of hubris. Surely tradition counts for something. (And surely people should not have to get out their digital scales every time they want to make cookies.) I am also wary of French chefs who think they understand chocolate chip cookies better than Americans do.

Then again, tastes change over time, and some developments – like the idea of sprinkling sea salt over your cookies before baking them – are undeniably very good. (The combination of chocolate and sea salt is far superior to the more traditional combination of caramel and sea salt.)

So I recommend a middle way – a pastiche of old and

Section D March 26, 2014 Northwest Herald

PlanitNorthwest.com

A pastiche of old and new combine for the perfect chocolate chip cookie

new that everyone can agree on, like Pharrell’s “Happy.”

An updated Toll House cookie that does not require madscientist-style meticulousness.

It doesn’t require a trip to a specialty store, either.

Contra The New York Times, you do not need “1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or fèves, at least 60 percent cacao content,” nor do you need, as some cookbook authors recommend, to chop up dark chocolate bars by hand. (There are few tasks less pleasant than chopping chocolate: The chocolate dust gets everywhere.) You can get Ghirardelli chocolate chips, or another decent brand, at most grocery stores these days. And the convenience of dumping a bag of chocolate chips into your mixing bowl is priceless.

The ratios in the recipe you find below are quite similar to those of Wakefield’s recipe: I use slightly less flour and baking soda to encourage chewiness, and I use more vanilla, because more vanilla is almost always a good idea.

I also strongly endorse using all brown sugar instead of a mix of white and brown: Brown sugar confers moisture and a subtle caramel flavor to everything you put it in, and those traits are highly desirable in chocolate chip cookies.

So what concessions do I make to the Times? There’s that sprinkle of sea salt to offset the sweet richness of the cookie dough. I also tip my hat to the Times for emphasizing the importance of refrigeration. You should always, always refrigerate your cookie dough for at least a couple of hours before baking it – the longer the refrigeration time, the better the consistency of the final product.

But equally important to consistency, keep in mind, is not overbaking: As soon as the edges of the cookies are

golden brown, pull them out of the oven. A minute makes the difference between chewy and crunchy – and while a crunchy cookie isn’t bad, exactly, it’s best avoided.

Chocolate Chip Cookies Yield: 40 to 45 cookies Time: 3 hours, mostly unattended (or longer, depending on how long you refrigerate the dough) 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 2 large or 3 small eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain salt 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips About 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt Beat the brown sugar and butter with the paddle attachment of a stand mixer (or with a handheld mixer in a large bowl). Add eggs and vanilla and beat to combine. Add the baking soda and fine-grain salt and beat to combine, then add the flour and stir just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Wrap the dough in foil or plastic wrap (or simply cover the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F and grease one or two baking sheets (or line them with parchment paper). Drop the dough by the rounded tablespoonful onto the baking sheet(s), leaving 2 inches between cookies.

Sprinkle a small pinch of coarse sea salt on each cookie, then bake until the cookies are mostly firm and their edges are golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks or paper towels, and repeat with the remaining dough and salt. Serve warm.

Meet the woman who invented the chocolate chip cookie

By CAROLYN WYMAN Slate Julia Child and James Beard have nearly as much name recognition to many Americans as the Founding Fathers. But when was the last time you ate one of their dishes?

I’m betting it’s a lot longer ago than your last chocolate chip cookie.

Yet, probably not one in 20 Americans know the name of the chef who invented America’s favorite cookie, if they even realize they were invented. Chocolate chip cookies are so ubiquitous and taken for granted many people assume they’ve been around as long as apple pie and ice cream and have equally ancient, anonymous origins.

These cookies were actually dreamed up within the lifetime of many living sugar addicts by a visionary named Ruth Wakefield, and it’s about time we paid homage.

She was a Depression-era owner

of the Toll House restaurant in Whitman, Mass., who decided in 1938 to up the appeal of some butterscotch cookies she had been serving aside dishes of ice cream with some cut-up pieces of chocolate bar. And thus an American dessert icon was born.

That alone should have been enough to earn her Ruth Wakefield place in history. But adding candy to a cookie also made Wakefield a combination dessert pioneer. In these days of Oreo-stuffed cupcakes and Heath Bar ice cream, the idea of hybridizing desserts is banal, but in the late 1930s, it was revolutionary. Wakefield’s recipe led to the invention of one of only a few food products created for use in a specific recipe – the chocolate chip.

After Wakefield granted the rights to her recipe to Nestlé, the chocolate

chip (née Toll House) cookie also became the most frequently made back-of-the-package recipe. (It still is.)

In short, Wakefield’s contribution to the national sweet tooth is monumental. So why have so few people ever heard of her?

Part of the reason for Wakefield’s relative obscurity is her main focus during her lifetime was on her restaurant, not her personal brand.

Ruth Wakefield’s Toll House was one of Massachusetts’ most beloved restaurants, renowned for its classic New England food, colonial decor and service. Wakefield ran a tight ship: She and her husband, Ken, were almost always on the premises to greet customers and oversee the multibuilding operation. Waitresses trained for three months before getting their full workload of two tables, which might not seem like much unless you know that Wakefield’s expectations included silverware

placed one thumbprint away from the edge of the table, orders memorized, uniforms “neatly pressed, stocking seams straight, shoes clean,” as laid out by the restaurant’s seven-page service manual.

“No military machine or factory production line was ever geared to more smooth-running cohesion,” the restaurant’s post-war promotional booklet intoned. “Long-range planning and constantly studied personnel are reflected in an operating teamwork flawless in its unrolled perfection. Confusion is unknown.”

In short, this is not the kind of place where things happened by accident. And yet if you have heard anything about Ruth Wakefield, it’s probably she invented the chocolate chip cookie in a panic or a pinch, deciding to substitute pieces of chocolate cut up from a bittersweet candy bar she had on hand when she ran out of nuts for a cookie she served at her restaurant. Or you

may even have heard that Wakefield spilled chocolate morsels into her cookie dough unintentionally, after a nearby mixer started running amok.

Versions of these stories are all over the Internet and also in almost every other article or book written about the chocolate chip cookie, along with the equally bogus corollary that Wakefield expected the nut-sized nuggets of chocolate to melt into the cookies’ crumb and was surprised when they stayed intact.

But every part of this tale is utterly specious. Not only was Wakefield highly organized, she also had a college degree in household arts – in other words, she understood how chocolate and cookie dough behaved when heated. And she gave several (admittedly hard to find) newspaper interviews and one speech about how she invented the cookie on purpose.

Chocolate treats for those you love

By SALLY ANN SHURMUR The Associated Press Chocolate.

Drizzled over strawberries, melted in a fondue pot, flavoring cakes and pies and cheesecakes, or eaten as candy one deliciously decadent bite at a time, few can resist the temptation of chocolate.

You might want to spend some time in the kitchen creating something for those special to you.

Here are a couple ideas you might want to try.

Easy elegance Ganache is always in style

By MARGARET MAPLES More Content Now Here’s a delicious dessert that looks professional but is easy to make. It’s the perfect finale to an intimate dinner or a feast for a few special friends.

Our tart is inspired by a much-splattered entry in “Santa Fe Recipe,” a 1989 collection of dishes from that city’s restaurants. It popped up in a used-book exchange and I knew immediately, just from the chocolate smears, that this dessert is a keeper.

As prepared at Comme Chez Vous, a restaurant which has since closed, this dessert had a pecan crust and was assembled in a single pan. I reworked the recipe, switching to a pecan/walnut crust in four 4-inch tart shells.

For the filling, I experimented first with couverture chocolate, the high-end type favored for candy and fancy desserts. It worked beautifully, of course, but then I tried more affordable dark chocolate morsels from the supermarket baking aisle. If you use morsels or bits, be sure to buy real chocolate.

And remember that some “bake-stable” morsels are better for chocolate chip cookies than for ganache, even though cream certainly will smooth the way. I used Nestle dark chocolate morsels and ended up eating three of the tarts myself. I couldn’t help it. They called to me from the refrigerator.

A word about ganache.

Chocolate ganache is basically a mix of cream and chocolate. Some cooks make it by simply bringing cream to a low boil and pouring it over chopped chocolate. They wait five minutes and stir. The procedure for this tart is a little different.

First, melt the chocolate gently over water that has been boiled and then moved off the heat.

While the chocolate melts, prep the cream by heating it to a very high simmer and whisking in a beaten egg. This usually cooks some of the egg. To capture the unincorporated particles, pour the cream mixture through a strainer into the melted chocolate. Stir the cream and chocolate together with a spoon, but to make the filling really velvety, finish it by beating with a hand mixer. Fill the tart shells and chill them for at least two hours.

Ready at last, the tarts can be topped with whipped cream and berries. These desserts are very rich and are probably generous enough to share unless you’re entertaining raving chocoholics. In that case, make two tarts apiece for your guests and be prepared to distribute copies of the recipe.

You’ll be so popular!

This ganache filling will be firm enough for easy dividing, but show your chocoholic friends some love: Don’t make them share.

• COOKIE Continued from page D1 “We had been serving a thin butterscotch nut cookie with ice cream. Everybody seemed to love it, but I was trying to give them something different,” Wakefield told the Boston Herald-American in 1974.

Like any smart restaurateur, Wakefield was always looking for ideas to improve her business.

I think the persistence of

the “dumb luck” story says less about her than it does about us, specifically about pervasive sexist attitudes.

That Ruth Wakefield invented the chocolate chip cookie by dint of training, talent and hard work may not appeal to people who like their women quiet, passive and unassuming.

But people who knew Wakefield know she was a gifted cook and a shrewd entrepreneur – the furthest thing from a shrinking violet.

Even her decision to give

her cookie recipe away for free – first just to restaurant patrons, and then to Nestlé for use on their chocolate bars’ and chips’ packaging – was a sign of her business acumen. Recipes cannot be copyrighted, and by inking her deal with Nestlé 75 years ago this week, Wakefield was engaging in cross-promotional marketing decades before that phrase was even invented.

Ads for Nestlé’s SemiSweet Chocolate Bar and, later, their Semi-Sweet Morsels

referenced the recipe source as “the famous Toll House Inn at Whitman, Massachusetts” and “Mrs. Ruth Wakefield’s Cook Book Toll House Tried and True Recipes, on sale at all bookstores.”

Wakefield’s cookbook became a best-seller, in large part because of this national publicity.

So there is no need to cry for Ruth Wakefield.

Between her restaurant and her cookbook, she was as close to a cooking celebrity as America had in those

days, known to and visited by virtually every celebrity who passed through Greater Boston from the ‘30s through the ‘60s, including culinary ones like Duncan Hines, Howard Johnson and Julia Child.

But Wakefield’s renown was tied to her restaurant, which did not maintain her standards under subsequent owners after her retirement, and then burned to the ground at the dawn of New Year’s Day 1985. By then, her most famous culinary

offspring already had a wellestablished life apart from Wakefield and the Toll House restaurant.

But just because people take chocolate chip cookies for granted doesn’t mean they should.

The next time you have one, please raise your glass of milk to the strong, smart woman who invented them.

Chicken-Fried Cauliflower with Miso-Mushroom Gravy

It’s cauliflower, playing chicken

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post If I had to pick one dish that defined my West Texas upbringing, it would be chicken-fried steak.

It was the first real supper I learned how to make on my own, under the guidance of my good-ol’-boy stepdad, Vern, and it was a staple at restaurant visits for many years, even into my Austin college days.

It’s tempting for me to think “My, how I’ve changed,” but, honestly, I haven’t changed all that much.

Okay, so I’m not flattening cube steak with a mallet anymore, among other shifts. But I still love the big flavors that go into dishes like chicken-fried steak, and the hearty meal that results from pan-frying some-

thing and spooning gravy on top.

I owe the idea for CFC (chicken-fried cauliflower) to chef Amanda Cohen at New York’s Dirt Candy.

She bathes hers in smoke first, while I tend to use smoked paprika or a chili powder to add that touch.

And I use miso to do some of the work the little meaty bits do in the meat-focused recipe, deepening the flavor of mushrooms.

One disclaimer: I cannot, for the life of me, imagine serving this to Vern.

I don’t think he would appreciate it – or even if he did, I think he’d consider it an appetizer and hope the steak was on the way. But it’s a moot point.

After all, I’m not in West Texas anymore.

Trim the core from the bottom of the cauliflower, but not fully from the florets. Cut the cauliflower in half and then each half into 4 servings Serve with mashed potatoes and greens, 1-inch-thick steaks. Set the slices (and leftover pieces) in a large skillet over medium heat and if you like. Adapted from “Eat Your Vegetapour in 1/4 inch of water.

Use a spatula to transfer the cauliflower steaks and pieces to a plate to needed cool, then sprinkle with salt on both sides. Put 2 large eggs, lightly whisked the eggs and flour in separate shallow bowls.

1/2 cup flour Stir the chili powder into the flour along with 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder a little more salt. Dip the cauliflower in egg Vegetable oil, for frying on both sides, then coat in the flour mixture, 8 ounces stemmed shiitake mushrooms, using a spoon or your fingers to help cover thinly sliced the cauliflower completely.

of the skillet; return it to medium-high heat and pour in 1/4 inch of the oil. Once the oil starts to shimmer, gently lay the cauliflower steaks and pieces in the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crisp, 2 or 3 minutes. Turn over and repeat on the second side. Transfer to the rack to drain. Pour off all but a teaspoon of the oil in the skillet, then return to medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until they collapse and start to brown, a few minutes. Whisk together the miso and broth in a cup until smooth, then stir that mixture into the mushrooms. Add broth as needed to create a pourable gravy, allowing it to heat through. Divide the cauliflower among plates.

Spoon the gravy on top.

Husband can’t erase wife’s People at high risk should journal writing about affair have lung cancer screening Dear Abby: I have been married almost 20 years.

Eight years ago my wife began an emotional affair with a co-worker. It lasted a year, until he left the company.

Although they never had sex, they did have some physical contact most people would consider inappropriate, and my wife considered ending our marriage because of the feelings she had for him. She now says the episode was a huge mistake and she loves me more than ever.

The problem is, she wrote many entries about him in a journal. I know she kept writing about him several years after they lost contact, including saying she loved him more than a year after he’d left.

I want my wife to remove the portions of the journal pertaining to this guy. She doesn’t want to.

I’m still hurting from this and am considering counseling, but for now, what do you think? Should she get rid of the journal? – Considering Counseling Dear Considering Counseling: Because you are still hurting seven years after the fact, stop “considering” counseling and get it now.

If your wife is a serious journal writer – and many people are – that she would

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips want her writings to remain intact in spite of the fact they reflect her emotional affair is not unusual. If that’s the case, instead of insisting she edit or destroy her journal, my advice is to stop reading it.

Dear Abby: I’m a 47-yearold man who was single until seven years ago. Then I met “Maggie,” the most wonderful woman I had ever known.

She wasn’t the hotsy-totsy one-nighter type I was used to. She was a real woman who fulfilled everything I had ever dreamed of (including bringing a wonderful 4-year-old girl into my life).

The biological father is out of the picture.

Maggie had wrestled with some health issues – nothing serious – until last April, when she had surgery.

Complications set in, and I lost the only person who ever mattered, aside from our little girl.

My question is, since we were never married, how do I refer to Maggie when relating what happened? I am in the process of adopting her daughter and explanations to strangers are tough. (“Wow,

y

you’re taking on a child when you don’t have to?”)

How do I respond to these remarks?

I know this is a multipart question, but I have so many unanswered questions lately, I figured I’d ask you for an opinion. – Grieving In

Missouri Dear Grieving: Although you and Maggie weren’t legally married, you were a couple for some time. I’m very sorry for your loss. It would be accurate to refer to her as your late significant other, your partner or longtime girlfriend.

I would like to compliment you for stepping up to care for the girl when her biological father did not. And I do have suggestions for how to respond to anyone insensitive enough to ask why you would “take on” a child you didn’t “have to.”

The first would be to ignore the question. The second would be to avoid such a person in the future and the third would be to reply, “I love her like a daughter, want to make sure she’s secure and provided for, and that’s why I’m doing it.”

• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Dr. K: I’m a longtime smoker. Do I need to be screened for lung cancer even if I don’t have any symptoms?

Dear Reader: Until recently, my answer would have been “no.” In the not-too-distant past, screening of people without symptoms – even smokers who were at high risk – was judged useless for lung cancer.

That’s because screening for lung cancer involved using standard chest X-rays, and they produced too many “false positive” results – they identified “spots” in the lungs that were harmless. And they also produced too many “false negative” results – they failed to find small, early and potentially curable cancers. When screening chest X-rays found lung cancer, it was big and old enough that it usually already was incurable.

Computed tomography (CT) scans of the lungs, however, take much clearer pictures than standard chest X-rays. Studies in recent years have shown when people are at high risk for developing lung cancer, CT scans find many more small, early and potentially curable lung cancers, with an acceptable number of “false positive” results. Most important, the evidence is that current types of CT do not just find cancers

early; they also save lives among people who are at high risk for getting lung cancer.

After advising for many years against screening for lung cancer (with standard chest X-rays or other techniques), the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force reviewed the latest studies. It now recommends yearly tests for people at high risk for lung cancer. The USPSTF is a group of experts in evaluating scientific studies and in preventive medicine.

Specifically, the USPSTF recommends annual, low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans of the lungs for highrisk adults ages 55 to 79. You are considered high-risk if you have smoked for at least 30 “pack-years.” This could be 30 years of smoking one pack a day, 15 years at two packs a day, or other equivalent combinations. Screening is recommended for anyone in this group who is a current smoker or has quit in the last 15 years.

Any kind of X-ray – and CT scans use X-rays – involves radiation. Fortunately, the CT scanners that are used to

screen for lung cancer involve relatively little radiation.

Most experts agree the radiation risks from screening with these scanners are very small.

When it comes to lung cancer, however, prevention remains even more important than early detection. And the biggest change you can make to prevent lung cancer is not to smoke. If you smoke now, commit to quit.

Quitting strategies include: • Behavior programs, such as one-on-one counseling and support groups.

• Nicotine replacement, available in many forms including skin patches, chewing gum, lozenges, nasal spray or inhalers.

• Quit-smoking medications such as varenicline (Chantix) and buproprion (Zyban).

• Hypnosis, acupuncture and other alternative treatments.

If you fall into the USPSTF high-risk categories, talk to your doctor. The sooner you begin to be screened, the earlier these tests might detect a tumor. I’ve certainly changed my practice since the USPSTF published its opinion.

Italian winemaker’s Cannubi worth wait

Soups: When finesse, technique hit the bowl

By JANE BLACK The Washington Post “You can always judge a restaurant by its soup.”

The words my father had said a hundred times to me growing up ricocheted around my head as I glanced up, red-faced, at Claire, the head teacher of the culinary school I was attending in London a decade ago. She was peering over my shoulder into my pot of consommé on the stove. I had whisked in the egg whites to collect the impurities, but the resulting “raft” had not clarified the broth as it was supposed to.

Claire’s expression betrayed nothing, but it was as clear as my broth was not that I had failed consomme.

I went on to become a pretty good cook, sailing through sauces and pastas. But I never entirely recovered from the idea that fancy soups – restaurant-worthy soups – were somehow beyond my reach, best left to real chefs and, in the case of consommes, best left to top chefs.

Over the years, I’ve stuck with rustic soups. My favorite is Italian wedding soup, loaded with lemony chicken meatballs, pasta and greens.

More often than not, I make the unfortunately named garbage soup, concocted with whatever leftover beans, meat or broth we happen to have on hand.

Chefs, of course, have long known that soups are deceptively simple. The 19th-century French chef Auguste Escoffier declared that “of all the items on the menu, soup is that which exacts the most delicate perfection and the strictest attention.”

But it is also, he noted, essential to any chef’s repertoire because “soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite.”

Clearly, I couldn’t let one

failure a decade ago stand in my way. This past fall I was inspired to try again when I stumbled across a promising technique that promised to yield fabulous soup without stress or, frankly, too much work. It was a chilled carrot soup from chef Thomas Keller, published in Saveur magazine. Instead of using carrots and stock, Keller simmered thinly sliced carrots in carrot juice, allowing it to evaporate and concentrate. The carrots, a little cream and more carrot juice were then pureed for an intense, almost caramelized flavor and served with a creamy mousse.

Even I could do that. And I did. The soup was delicious: rich, velvety in texture, with an almost impossible-to-believe carrot-ness. I have no desire to pick a fight with a star chef such as Keller. But it was too sweet for me to eat a whole bowl. It would have been perfect served in an espresso cup as an amusebouche. It was divine smeared on a plate as a sauce for a piece of grilled fish, which is how I served it.

Still, the idea of using and reducing juices to intensify and finesse flavors was brilliant and, it turns out, pretty common among chefs. Austin Fausett, executive chef at Trummer’s on Main in Clifton, Va., makes his carrot soup by cooking carrots and other vegetables in vegetable broth, then reduces carrot juice and adds fresh ginger juice. That adds intensity without overwhelming sweetness, as well as a subtle punch. The method works well with beet, apple or corn juice, too.

I don’t have a juicer. Although I was keen to improve my soups, I wasn’t willing to buy or store any new appliances. With advice from Jonathan Seningen, executive chef at the Catering Company and Elizabeth’s Gone Raw in D.C., I started again. I sautéed onions,

I Carrot-Curry Soup Washington Post provided

seared pancetta and toasted curry powder. I cut the carrots into a small, uniform dice; that is essential for the vegetables to cook evenly. Next, I cooked the carrots in a little oil in a big soup pot. The goal was to soften them but also to let some of the water cook out so their flavor became concentrated. If you cook the vegetables only in broth, as most recipes recommend, you are adding liquid to the pot.

While the carrots – and diced apple – were cooking, I put a cup of carrot juice on the stove to boil and reduced it much further than Fausett does for his soup. That would give me that carrot-y intensity but not too much sweetness. (Later, I tweaked the recipe to use the carrot juice reduction at the finish.) Once everything was ready, I pureed the lot with some salt to season.

The soup was table-ready straight from the blender. But to add a little more restaurant finesse, I pushed the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. The texture was rich, the flavor was the essence of carrot. My husband said it easily merited $12 as an appetizer.

Fresh-pressed juice can be expensive, however. I wondered whether I could get that luscious consistency and flavor without forking over $7 for a quart of it. With Seningen again as my guide, I experimented with celery root (celeriac), a winter vegetable that I love but

that frequently ends up mashed with potatoes.

The first step was to figure out how to draw out the vegetable’s subtle flavor. Seningen suggested adding a sachet of sweet and savory herbs and spices. We settled on bay leaf, thyme and cardamom pods.

Seningen also recommended that I cook everything separately, to ensure that nothing was over- or underdone. I listened, mostly. (Such advice makes sense for chefs, who have someone else washing their dishes.)

I cooked onions over low heat, making sure they didn’t pick up any color.

Then, in a separate pot, I cooked the diced celery root with the spice sachet until it was almost tender before adding the pears. Once everything was soft, I added the broth and cream.

Cream is probably a chef’s No. 1 go-to weapon. Seningen recommended using a quart for this recipe. I’m sure the result would taste delicious, if I didn’t know what was in there. But I wanted a soup I could feel guiltfree about eating, so I used mostly broth and one cup of cream.

With crisped prosciutto and diced apple as garnishes, the soup was a brilliant balance of sweet, salt and creaminess.

nstant gratification took over the moment the Damilano Cannubi was opened.

A special red wine from the Barolo DOCG region in Italy made of the Nebbiolo varietal deserved to be opened after years in a dark cellar. Its acidity and tannins tamed by time hold the bright fruit flavors together as they subtly ease into old age.

But after just five years, owner Paolo Damilano’s wine shined. It was special right now and will continue to be so for anyone with the patience.

Winemaker spotlight Committed to a vision, Damilano waits.

“It is important for us to put away 30 percent of the Cannubi we make,” Damilano said.

“Consumers like to drink wine within three years, but we store some to really show future customers different vintages. It’s expensive and hard to wait, but the expressiveness of the wine after time is worth it.”

The wine is made from Nebbiolo grown in calcareous clay and sandy soil on a hill in the heart of Barolo. Due to the high quality of fruit, minimalism has defined the winemaking. Damilano takes a hands-off approach.

It will sit in the barrel for three years. “We’ve discovered Cannubi is so extraordinary,” Damilano said. “We just leave it alone for three years. After that it is perfect. Spectacular.

“This is a wine that can age a long time. We look for an elegance and balance in the wine.

There’s beautiful fruit. The alcohol doesn’t even get noticed, or you don’t feel it, because there is outstanding balance.”

While food and wine are epicurean partners that drive the

UNCORKED James Nokes

philosophy of some winemakers, Damilano wants to make the most outstanding interpretation possible.

“It’s such an extraordinary wine that it doesn’t need to be accompanied by a meal,” Damilano said. “We don’t always try to pair it with foods because the fruit makes such an elegant wine that is very expressive on its own.”

What to buy Damilano, Cannubi, Barolo 2008 ($85): This is the finest Italian wine I’ve opened in years. Its complex flavors are all complimentary. A refined and elegant mouth feel yields dark chocolate, coffee, cherry and plum notes. There’s a hint of tobacco leaf that ties things up nicely. The tannins are pleasant, and over time the wine opens up beautifully. This could easily be stashed away in a cellar for years and saved for a very special occasion.

Wine 101 A reserve bottling is next for Damilano. This project, which will take seven to eight years to come to fruition, will hold back bottles from the market for a special release.

Supreme division High court seems divided over birth control rule

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court seemed divided Tuesday over whether employers’ religious beliefs can free them from a part of the new health care law that requires that they provide coverage of birth control for employees at no extra charge.

The case involves family owned companies that provide health insurance to their employees, but object to covering certain methods of birth control they say can work after conception, in violation of their religious beliefs.

The fast-paced 90-minute argument at the court touched on abortion and the health care law in general, but focused mainly on the question of whether profit-making businesses have religious rights. The justices have never ruled that way before, but the companies in the Supreme Court case and their backers argue that a 1993 federal law on religious freedom extends to businesses as well as individuals.

The Obama administration and its supporters say a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the businesses also could undermine laws governing immunizations, Social Security taxes and minimum wages.

The outcome could turn on the views of Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the decisive vote. Kennedy voiced concerns both about the rights of female employees and the business owners. Kennedy asked what rights would women have if their employers ordered them to wear burkas, a full-length robe commonly worn by conservative Islamic women.

Later in the 90-minute argument, he seemed troubled about how the logic of the government’s argument would apply to abortions. “A profit corporation could be forced in prin-

On Monday, a group of people organized by the NYC Light Brigade and the women’s rights group UltraViolet, used letters in lights to spell out their opinion in front of the Supreme Court. ciple to pay for abortions,” Kennedy said. “Your reasoning would permit it.”

Under the new health care law, health plans must offer a range of preventive services at no extra charge, including all forms of birth control for women that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The three women on the court, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, repeatedly questioned Paul Clement, representing the businesses, whether blood transfusions and vaccinations would be subject to the same religious objections if the court ruled for his clients.

“Everything would be piecemeal and nothing would be uniform,” Kagan said.

Clement acknowledged that courts would have to decide on a case-by-case basis, but he said only the kind of family-owned companies he represents would make such claims, not large, multinational cor-

porations. “That’s something that’s not going to the happen in the real world,” Clement said.

Chief Justice John Roberts at one point suggested that the court could limit its ruling to apply to just such companies.

One key issue before the justices is whether profit-making corporations may assert religious beliefs under the 1993 religious freedom law or the First Amendment provision guaranteeing Americans the right to believe and worship as they choose. The court could skirt that issue by finding that the individuals who own the businesses have the right to object.

The justices still would have to decide whether the birth control requirement really impinges on religious freedom, and if so, whether the government makes a persuasive case that the policy is important and is put in place in the least objectionable way possible.

Demonstrators participate in a rally Tuesday in front of the Supreme Court in Washington as the court heard oral arguments in the challenges of President Barack Obama’s health care law requirement that businesses provide their female employees with health insurance that includes access to contraceptives. Supreme Court justices are weighing whether corporations have religious rights that exempt them from part of the new health care law that requires coverage of birth control for employees at no extra charge.

Consumer confidence rebounds in sign of optimism

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer confidence has rebounded to the highest reading in six years, providing a further sign the economy’s prospects should brighten with warmer weather.

The Conference Board said Tuesday its confidence index rose to 82.3 this month from a February reading of 78.3. It was the strongest reading since the index stood at 87.3 in January 2008, just as the Great Recession was beginning.

Conference Board economist Lynn Franco said consumers are moderately more upbeat about future job prospects and the overall economy, though less optimistic about income growth.

“Overall, consumers expect the economy to continue improving and believe it may even pick up a little steam in the months ahead,” Franco said.

Consumer confidence is closely watched because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of eco-

nomic activity.

The strength in the index this month came from an increase in consumers’ expectations, which offset a slight decline in their view of current conditions.

The number of people who felt jobs were hard to get rose slightly to 33 percent, up from 32.4 percent in February. Economists expect views about the labor market to brighten as employers increase the pace of hiring.

Employers added 175,000 jobs in February, far more than in the previous two months, and many private economists foresee solid job gains ahead.

Many see the economy finally gaining momentum this year. The latest outlook from top forecasters at the National Association for Business Economics expect the overall economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, will expand 3.1 percent this year. That would be a substantial increase from last year’s lackluster 1.9 percent growth. If that target is reached, it would be the best performance in nine years.

An 18-month recession ended in the summer of 2009, and the recovery since then has been achingly slow.

But the tax increases and spending cuts that dragged on growth last year will be less of a factor in 2014, according to many economists.

Faster economic growth and more robust hiring would lift consumers’ spirits and power stronger consumer spending, analysts say. That expectation for stronger growth, though, doesn’t include the first three months of 2014, when severe winter storms raked parts of the country.

The NABE forecasters expect January-March economic activity to expand at an annual rate of 1.9 percent but then recover to a 2.8 percent growth rate in the April-June quarter.

At its December, January and March meetings, the Federal Reserve trimmed its monthly bond purchases and indicated that the economy, as it gains momentum, will need less support through such bond purchases.

Those actions have pushed down long-term interest rates, encouraging investors to remain active in the markets.

McHENRY – Bluffton Motor Works affiliate DC Products Group has acquired McHenrybased motor maker RAE Corp.

Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Bluffton, Indiana-based Bluffton Motor Works said in a news release Tuesday that the acquisition “will strengthen RAE’s position in the fractional DC motor and gearmotor markets by enhancing lean manufacturing practices, utilizing Six Sigma tools and introducing manufacturing flow improvements.” The Indiana company also said the deal “complements the Bluffton line of industrial and commercial grade AC motors, gearmotors and speed reducers.”

“We are excited by having the RAE team in the Bluffton family,” Bluffton Motors Works President David Nussear said in a statement. “They provide excellent engineering, product designs, manufacturing, customer service and are a good fit with the Bluffton organization. This synergy between the companies will enable our mutual customers to benefit from a wide selection of valueadded products from a single source.”

Founded in 1946, RAE Corp., 4615 W. Prime Parkway, makes permanent magnet brush type fractional horsepower DC motors, gearmotors and motor controls. It also makes wound field motors that can be customized, according to its website. RAE Corp. has about 35 employees, said media spokesman Roy Harry.

He said the deal made sense because the two companies serve the same industries but don’t make competing products. He said he didn’t think any layoffs were expected as a result of the acquisition.

Review: Updated HTC One phone worth considering

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press NEW YORK – The HTC One might be the best smartphone you never heard of.

The phone won critical acclaim last year, yet it barely made a dent in the marketplace. It’s overshadowed by Apple’s iPhones and Samsung’s Galaxy line of smartphones.

Good thing HTC Corp. doesn’t understand defeat.

An updated One expands on some of the features that made it notable.

The new One has a metal design like last year’s model, but it feels smoother and more comfortable in my hands. The back edges are more curved and remind me of the sleek finish in Apple’s latest iPads. HTC also turns its hub for personalized content, the BlinkFeed, into a companion rather than an unwelcomed guest.

HTC is making the Android phone available through all major carriers simultaneously this time, starting Tuesday online and

by April 10 in retail stores. Verizon customers don’t have to wait months, as they had last year. In an apparent concession, Verizon is the first to get them in stores – on Tuesday.

The new phone, known officially as HTC One (M8), will cost about $200 to $250 with a two-year service contract, or about $650 without a contract. Customers can choose gray, gold or silver.

The One still has some flaws – namely, its 4 megapixel rear camera. By comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S5 phone, which comes out April 11, will have 16 megapix-

HTC CEO Peter Chou introduces the new HTC One M8 on Tuesday in New York. els. Sony and Nokia already have phones that exceed 20 megapixels.

Apple’s iPhones are at 8 megapixels, twice what the HTC One offers.

More megapixels typically translate to sharper images and more options for printing and cropping.

HTC is correct in saying the megapixel count is just one factor in what makes a good camera. It prefers making the size of individual pixel sensors larger to absorb more light for night and indoor shots.

That’s laudable, but Apple’s iPhone 5S and Nokia’s Lumia Icon are both able to offer decent low-light shots while providing more megapixels than the One. Compared with last year’s model, though, the One’s camera is much better, even at 4 megapixels. Colors look washed out in day shots I took with last year’s camera. The new

model seems to have fixed that. The new version also has a 5 megapixel front camera for selfies, far better than what rivals offer.

HTC also has improved its camera software: • Thanks to a second lens on the rear, the phone now captures depth information. That lets you decide later through built-in software whether to focus on the foreground or the background while blurring everything else. Other phones also offer this capability, but the One does this automatically. You don’t have to switch to a special mode ahead of time.

• The One offers plenty of manual settings, as other phones are starting to offer. The One goes further in letting you save frequently used combinations of settings. If you take a lot of action shots indoors,

Continued from page E1 Kennedy also showed some interest in the argument that the companies could decide not to offer any health insurance to their workers and instead pay a tax of $2,000 per employee. That route might allow the court to sidestep the thorniest questions in the case.

Clement objected that businesses would find themselves at a competitive disadvantage in a situation where other employers were offering insurance.

But when Kennedy asked Clement to assume that the

with more than 15,000 fulltime employees. The company is owned by the Green family, evangelical Christians who say they run their business on biblical principles. The Greens also own the Mardel chain of Christian bookstores.

The other company is Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. of East Earl, Pa. The business is owned by the Hahns, a family of Mennonite Christians, and employs 950 people in making wood cabinets.

Members of the Green and Hahn families were at the court Tuesday, while protesters on both sides congregated outside in an early spring snow.

company would come out the same financially, Clement acknowledged that the government might have a strong case.

Some of the nearly 50 businesses that have sued over covering contraceptives object to paying for all forms of birth control. But the companies involved in the high court case are willing to cover most methods of contraception, as long as they can exclude drugs or devices that the government says may work after an egg has been fertilized.

The largest company among them is Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., an Oklahoma City-based chain of more than 600 crafts stores in 41 states

square, BlinkFeed also suggests restaurants based on the time and location. Monday’s lunch recommendation was dubious, though: It was suggesting frozen yogurt at Pinkberry as outdoor temperatures in New York hovered at water’s freezing point.

I do like that you can get BlinkFeed by swiping from the left.

Otherwise, it stays out of the way.

To get back to the home screen, just tap the home button once or twice. I hated BlinkFeed in last year’s model because there was no easy way to restore the home screen without knowing the proper swipes.

The HTC One is a work in progress, though. There’s supposed to be a power-saving mode offering 15 hours of battery life when you’re down to a 5 percent charge, for instance.

That and other promised features weren’t done in time for the U.S. release. But if you buy the phone now, you’ll get them through upcoming software updates.

U.S. customers are also eligible for a one-time screen replacement if it cracks in the first six months.

The One doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor to bypass the security code on the lock screen. The iPhone 5S has it, as will the Galaxy S5. It’s also in the HTC One Max, a larger version of last year’s model. But HTC’s version didn’t work well, and the company is wise to leave it out in the One. There’s a lot to like in the new phone. This phone likely won’t be as popular as the iPhone or the S5, but the One is one worth considering if you’re looking for something that feels right and works nicely.

Companies object to paying for birth control • SUPREME COURT

for instance, you can save a combo that uses a fast shutter speed to reduce blurring from motion, while adjusting the white balance to filter out the hint of color from the ceiling lights.

You can pause video recordings. Most phones only let you stop recording, so you have to stitch together several files with software to get the same effect. The Vine and Instagram apps also let you pause video recording, but those clips have length limits. With the One, you’re limited only by the phone’s storage.

As for watching video, sound quality is wonderful, thanks to the phone’s two front-facing speakers.

If I hold the phone close enough to my eyes and slide the volume to maximum, I can pretend I’m watching in a movie theater. Phones with rear speakers sound boxy by comparison.

The One also has some useful shortcuts when the screen is off.

Swipe from the left to get the BlinkFeed content hub, and swipe from the right to get your regular home screen. Press the volume button to get the camera and press it again to take the shot. Double tap to get the lock screen.

With an optional $50 Dot View case, you can see the time and the weather through the small holes, or dots, on the case’s front, flip cover.

You can answer and reject incoming call by swiping on the case, without needing to flip over the cover.

As for BlinkFeed, the One now offers more ways to customize it and increases the number of social media services it works with.

Walgreen’s fiscal second quarter earnings slipped from a year ago as the nation’s largest drugstore chain reaped a smaller benefit from generic drugs and took a $60 million hit due to rough winter weather.

But the Deerfield company’s underlying performance impressed investors, and its shares rose, approaching the all-time high that they reached last month.

Walgreen executives said Tuesday a wave of new generic drug introductions

peaked in last year’s quarter, which helped the company’s bottom line then but made comparisons difficult for this year’s quarter.

Generic drugs, which are cheaper alternatives to branded medicines, squeeze drugstore sales but improve profitability because they come with a wider margin between the cost for the pharmacy to purchase the drugs and the reimbursement it receives.

The company said Tuesday the tough comparison between this year’s quarters and last year will ease later this year.

Walgreen expects generics to

start helping its year-over-year performance again by the end of the fiscal year.

Walgreen said a tough winter also affected its performance in the quarter by keeping customers away from its stores, forcing it to temporarily close some locations and adding about $23 million in snow removal costs.

Overall, Walgreen Co. earned $754 million, or 78 cents per share, in the quarter that ended Feb. 28. That’s down from $756 million, or 79 cents per share, a year ago.

Farrah Fawcett said, “God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I’ve ever met.”

Today’s trump combination might jumble declarer’s brain, especially if he remembers yesterday’s deal. South is in ive diamonds. West leads a low spade. East takes two tricks in the suit, then shifts to a club to North’s queen. How should declarer continue?

On the second round of the auction, if North-South use support doubles, South has a perfect hand with exactly three-card heart support. But if North-South do not employ this gadget, South should raise to two hearts.

North’s two-spade cue-bid is an artiicial game-force, asking South to do something intelligent. Here, South cannot do more than rebid his diamond suit. Then North might jump to four hearts, but let’s suppose he settles his partner into ive diamonds.

South must draw trumps without loss. In yesterday’s deal, he could afford one loser, so cashed the ace irst.

Here, though, he should start with a diamond to his queen.

When West’s jack drops, declarer returns to the dummy with a club (or a heart) and plays a diamond to his 10.

Then he draws East’s last trump and claims.

Note that four hearts can be made. If East starts with three rounds of spades, North does best to discard a diamond from his hand, but here he could ruff. Then declarer, after drawing trumps, makes the same play in the diamond suit.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Your intuition will guide you in an exciting new direction this year. Added responsibilities will bring you greater recognition and acclaim. You will be rewarded for your leadership and integrity. The hopes and dreams for which you have been striving are coming within your reach.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Being around children or older relatives will give you a new perspective on something. You can increase your confidence by conquering a physical challenge. Call in favors, if necessary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have the ability to shape your own future. There is good advice to be had if you ask questions. Assistance will be offered, but it’s up to you to make things happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your creativity may lead you in an unexpected direction. Be receptive to unusual strategies and ideas that could increase your chances for advancement. A new approach could yield favorable results.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have a lot to lose if you let yourself be talked into a questionable activity.

You’ll need to be crystal clear about your intentions and able to make stellar judgment calls.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will be successful in your chosen field as long as you continue to exude diligence and ingenuity. Use your charismatic power of persuasion and showcase your unique talents.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A challenging social activity will remind you of your capabilities. Multiply your efforts of self-promotion, and you will excel professionally. Present what you have to offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Personal contact and face-to-face meetings will help you close a deal. Attend as many social and business gatherings as you can to meet people of influence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- What you considered a small project will develop into something more meaningful and lucrative. Take care not to be misled by a new acquaintance with a sudden interest in your work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may receive an unusual request from an old friend. Although you may be tempted, trust in your own judgment. Refuse to be seduced by flattery or crushed by criticism.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t be persuaded by someone offering you a “foolproof” moneymaking scheme. You have invested a lot to get to where you are.

Taking a detour now would be a big mistake.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your energetic and inquisitive nature will open up a world of new possibilities. The more you learn, the easier it will be to improve your financial status.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Consider the pros and cons before making any impulsive changes. An invitation that appears promising at the moment could cause difficulties in the future, as well as damage your reputation.
