Bianchi’s federal lawsuit tossed State’s attorney claimed investigators violated his civil rights

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – A federal judge tossed McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi’s civil rights lawsuit against the special prosecutor and investigators who twice put him on trial.

Bianchi’s lawsuit alleged that

Debate touches on social issues

Thomas McQueen and Quest Consultants violated his civil rights as part of a political conspiracy to unseat him.

Working with unnamed “political enemies,” McQueen presented false evidence to a grand jury that caused the state’s attorney to be indicted, arrested and prosecuted, the complaint states.

Queen withheld witness statements or manufactured evidence in order to “dupe” Tonigan into bringing charges against Bianchi.

“In their second amended complaint, [the] plaintiffs essentially have altered the allegations contained in

U.S. District Judge Robert Gow dismissed the civil lawsuit once before, but Bianchi quickly filed an amended complaint – this time removing blame from Henry Tonigan, another special prosecutor appointed to investigate the state’s attorney.

LITH raises cost concerns

Gov. candidates talk death penalty, abortion, marriage The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The four Republicans running for Illinois governor delved into social issues during a televised debate Tuesday, a shift in the increasingly intense primary campaign that has focused largely on the state’s financial issues.

All the candidates – state Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady, businessman Bruce Rauner and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford – said they would reinstate Illinois’ death penalty, which was abolished in 2011. They also said they would welcome same-sex couples if they came to the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield; Illinois legalized same-sex marriage this year.

The candidates differed slightly on abortion during the debate, which was hosted by WMAQ-TV at a University of Chicago venue.

The three officeholders said they were “pro-life” when asked about their views on abortion. Brady, of Bloomington, didn’t directly answer when asked if he would support reversing Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, but said he couldn’t change a federal

According to a Lake in the Hills analysis, the continuous flow intersection at Randall Road (running left to right) and Algonquin Road will cost $36 million more when including the cost of building the intersection, cost of land acquisition, and the loss of property tax and sales tax revenue. If the county bought a parcel at the intersection needed for the project, there would be a loss of $2.37 million in property tax revenues over 20 years, Lake in the Hills officials have estimated.

Village officials object to price tag for continuous flow intersection

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – According to a village analysis of the county’s continuous flow intersection plans, the project will cost taxing bodies an extra $35.8 million over the course of 20 years.

Lake in the Hills officials, who are fighting the proposed configuration, said a conventional intersection would only cost $12.6 million to build and there would be no loss in tax reve-

nue. The continuous flow intersection would have a total cost of $48.6 million when including the construction and the lost revenue.

“There’s quite a difference there,” Village President Paul Mulcahy said.

The analysis is based on the cost to build the intersection, the cost to buy land necessary for the project, and the estimated loss of property tax and sales tax revenue.

As part of the county’s continuous flow intersection plan, the county needs to acquire the Bank of America

building at the northeast corner of Randall and Algonquin roads and the Citgo Gas station at the southwest corner.

The village based its estimates for the bank purchase off documents from when the bank bought the land in 2004 and constructed the 4,500-square-foot building.

If the county bought the land, there would be a loss of $2.37 million in property tax revenues over 20 years, village officials estimated.

Spelling bee buzzes with excitement Here’s to the word nerds.

Here’s to the people who love to break words down to their roots, who care whether a noun or a verb has its origin in a Romance or a Germanic or a Slavic language. Or that it originated in Arabic and went through French.

Here’s to those who know that prefixes and suffixes give clues to word meanings.

Here’s to those who prefer to hear words in a sentence. Or repeated so they can fix them in their minds.

In other words, here’s to spelling bee contestants.

Here’s to the 12 spellers who will be competing in the McHenry County Spelling Bee, which will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the auditorium at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake. The bee also will be streamed live at NWHerald. com.

Once again, I have the privilege of being one of the bee’s judges. It’s something I look forward to each

VIEWS Joan Oliver year.

On the line for the spellers is a chance to go to Washington, D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which will take place from May 25-31.

So there’s some pressure for the contestants, far more than I could have handled at their age. Although I’m a good speller, I always did poorly at bees. I would crack under the pressure and never make it out of my school’s competition.

Someone who most definitely does not choke is reigning McHenry County spelling champ Lucas Urbanski, who represents Immanuel Lutheran School.

He’s won the McHenry County contest three times and has gone to Washington, D.C., after each win.

Last year, he finished in a tie for 19th place out of 282 spellers and could be seen on ESPN2’s broadcast of the competition.

He will be trying to get back there for a fourth time in his final year of eligibility. He’s faced some stiff competition here at home, with runner-up Scarlett Costello giving him a pretty good run last year.

It can take a while until there’s a winner, but it probably won’t be like a spelling bee in Jackson County, Mo., which ran out of words after 60 rounds. That bee still doesn’t have a winner and is set to resume Saturday.

It hasn’t happened here yet, but I suppose there’s a first time for everything.

In any event, here’s to this year’s contestants: David Amoo, Mary Endres Elementary School; Haley Bowen, Marengo Middle School; Chase Duncan, Nippersink Middle School; Hannah Johnson, Northwood Middle School; Alexander Joseph, Woodstock School District 200; Shannon Mastey,

Harvard Junior High School; Derrick Nguyen, McHenry Middle School; Brooke Peterson, Prairie Grove Junior High School; Cameryn Piskule, Marlowe Middle School; Clare Urbanski, Richard Bernotas Middle School; Lucas Urbanski, Immanuel Lutheran School; and Kaili Wegener, Parkland School.

Congratulations to all of them for getting this far; it’s quite an accomplishment. It takes a lot of work to learn all those words. Oftentimes, a speller gets a lot of support.

So here’s also to the parents, friends and family members who helped get the spellers ready.

This year’s competition should be a good one.

I’m ready to be spellbound.

8TODAY’S TALKER

Cold, gray day doesn’t stop Mardi Gras revelers The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS – Revelers endured winter temperatures and a chilling rain along parade routes Tuesday as New Orleans’ 2014 Carnival season neared a close.

Die-hards, some in Mardi Gras costumes, braved the weather along the traditional St. Charles Avenue parade route and in the French Quarter.

“We’ll drink, drink, drink until it gets drier,” said Dean Cook of New Orleans as he walked Bourbon Street dressed as a pirate with vam-

pire fangs.

“Mermaids love the water,” he said of his wife, Terrina Cook, who was dressed in a shiny blue mermaid costume, complete with a fin.

Ronnie Davis, a professor of economics at the University of New Orleans, decided to break his button-down image for at least one day. Clad in tutus, he and his wife, Arthurine, stood along the avenue watching the Krewe of Zulu’s floats roll by.

“All year I have to dress professionally. This is the one time I get to act like a fool,” Davis said.

As a cold rain fell, crowds along the stately, oak-lined avenue thinned and French Quarter bars filled with patrons looking for a dry spot to escape while letting the good times roll.

“It’s awful cold,” said Rick Emerson, a Tampa, Fla., native who was watching costumed revelers pass by from an open doorway of a Bourbon Street daiquiri shop.

Temperatures for most of the day in the New Orleans area were in the lower 40s and by early evening had dropped to about 38 degrees.

Instead of alcohol, Emerson was sipping hot coffee to help stay warm.

Instead of costumes, Emerson and his wife, Cheri, were dressed in layers of clothes, hats and scarves. “We’re bundled up. We’re not used to this sort of thing.”

Rick Emerson said it was 80 degrees in Tampa when he left last week, but he was determined to make the most of Mardi Gras.

“We’re freezing, but we wanted to see some costumes, so we took a chance and came down,” he said.

Alzheimer’s program pairs patients, students The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – At age 80, retired Chicago physician and educator Dan Winship is getting a bittersweet last chance to teach about medicine – only this time he’s the subject. In the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, Winship is giving a young medical student a close-up look at a devastating illness affecting millions of patients worldwide.

The two are part of a “buddy” program pairing doctorsto-be with dementia patients, pioneered at Northwestern University and adopted at a handful of other medical schools.

Besides offering students a unique perspective on a disease they’re likely to encounter during their careers, the programs give patients a

sense of purpose and a chance to stay socially engaged before their illness eventually robs their minds.

Winship and his “buddy,” first-year medical student Jared Worthington, are building a friendship – dining together, visiting museums, chatting about Winship’s medical career and Worthington’s plans for his own.

The programs help erase the stigma of Alzheimer’s and are laudable for introducing students to medical opportunities related to aging and dementia, said Beth Kallmyer, an Alzheimer’s Association vice president who oversees outreach services.

More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia, a number that could triple by 2050, the group estimates.

8STATE BRIEFS The proposal would direct a GOP governor candidate Rauner not picked for jury portion of the fee that cellphone CHICAGO – Republican candidate for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner spent much of the day at a Chicago courthouse without being chosen for jury duty. A campaign spokesman said Rauner took a break from campaigning Tuesday after being summoned for jury duty at Cook County’s Richard J. Daley Center Courthouse.

The Winnetka businessman faces state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford in the March 18 primary.

Dillard to ‘campaign like crazy’ in governor race CHICAGO – Republican candidate for Illinois governor Kirk Dillard says he plans to “campaign like crazy” in the final weeks before the March 18 primary. The state senator from Hinsdale spoke during a news conference Tuesday where he also discussed his plan to improve Illinois’ economy.

The proposal includes capping state spending at this year’s levels “for the foreseeable future,” reducing the state’s debt and repealing burdensome business regulations.

Dillard says he plans to focus on his economic plan and improving Illinois schools during the campaign’s final days. His campaign also launched statewide cable TV ads on Tuesday.

Illinois House panel passes Poison Center bill SPRINGFIELD – State lawmakers are pushing a plan to save the Illinois Poison Center from closing, using a creative funding mechanism during an expectedly tight budget year.

The Chicago-based call center, in place since 1953, is staffed by medical experts who handle roughly 80,000 calls a year from Illinois residents.

Oftentimes, the center receives questions from parents, worried their children might have ingested something poisonous.

While it relies on money from the state as well as contributions from hospitals, it has struggled with funding in recent years and announced it will close its doors June 30 unless it gets more financial help.

companies charge to pay for 911 services to fund the poison control center. Lawmakers are facing an expected loss of $1.5 billion in revenue this year if the state’s temporary tax increase expires as scheduled in January.

The bill passed a House committee Tuesday by a 19-1 vote and now moves to the chamber floor.

Former Ill. lawmaker in hiding in South Africa JOHANNESBURG – Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds said Tuesday he is in hiding in South Africa after being deported from Zimbabwe because he fears for his life for threatening to expose allegedly illegal business dealings between American businessmen and the southern African country.

Zimbabwe’s Deputy Minister of Information Supa Mandiwanzira dismissed the claims as untrue and “capricious.”

Reynolds, who lost his Illinois congressional seat in 1995 after being convicted of statutory rape, was arrested in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare, on Feb. 16 and pleaded guilty to charges of violating the country’s immigration laws. After a few days in prison, he was fined and deported. The court dismissed charges of possessing pornography on a technicality.

Poor Dart sales prompt 325 Illinois plant layoffs BELVIDERE – Poor sales of the new Dodge Dart have pushed Chrysler to temporarily lay off 325 employees at the northern Illinois assembly plant that produces the compact sedans.

Chrysler Group LLC confirmed the layoffs at its Belvidere plant on Monday, hours after releasing February sales figures showing a 37 percent decline for the Dart, the Rockford Register Star reported. The layoffs will last through the rest of the week and affect employees on all of the plant’s three shifts.

Overall sales for the company rose 11 percent last month from February 2012, but the Dart has failed to keep up with competitors in the compact sedan market since its debut in 2012.

Data presented at an Alzheimer’s Association conference last year showed the programs are increasing medical students’ knowledge of the disease beyond what they learn in the classroom.

About 75 percent of Northwestern students who participate become doctors in fields that deal with Alzheimer’s patients, said program director Darby Morhardt.

For everyone, the diagnosis is a cruel blow. For Winship, it was nothing less.

“You can’t remember anything,” he said, sometimes faltering to find the right words.

“You lose your ability ... to keep your wits about you.”

Alzheimer’s “wreaks havoc,” he said. But Winship has grown to see it as a chance to meld his loves of medicine and teaching.

A gastroenterology specialist, Winship spent nearly 10 years as medical school dean at Chicago-based Loyola University. His career also included stints at the University of Missouri in Columbia and the Department of Veterans

Affairs in Washington, D.C. He retired in 2010.

Early last year, he got the dreaded diagnosis. Jean Schmidt Winship, 53, his wife of 10 years, says at first she thought his occasional forgetfulness and difficulty learning

computer programs were just signs of aging. But his symptoms gradually worsened.

Jean Winship scrambled to learn more about their options after the diagnosis and found the dementia buddy program online.

Why Haven’t Neuropathy Sufferers Been Told These Facts?

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans.

Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs.This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

What Other Professionals are saying about this program.

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

8NATION BRIEFS Court appears to favor police sued over chase

AP photo

President Barack Obama sits with Emily Hare as she completes her spelling lessons during his visit Tuesday to a preschool classroom at Powell Elementary School in Washington. Obama visited the school to talk about his 2015 budget proposal, which was released Tuesday.

Budget theme: Rallying Dems Obama’s proposal not likely to gain much GOP praise

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s election-year budget seeks to rally fellow Democrats with new help for the working poor and money for road building, education and research. It also pulls back from cuts to Social Security that had been designed to lure Republicans to the bargaining table.

Otherwise, Tuesday’s $3.9 trillion submission for the 2015 budget year, which begins in October, looks a lot like Obama’s previous plans.

It combines proposals for more than $1.1 trillion in tax

increases on the wealthy with an array of modest initiatives such as job training funds, money to rehabilitate national parks and funding for early childhood education.

“Our budget is about choices. It’s about our values,” Obama said at a Washington elementary school. “As a country, we’ve got to make a decision, if we’re going to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans or if we’re going to make smart investments necessary to create jobs and grow our economy and expand opportunity for every American.”

Obama’s previous budgets have mostly gone nowhere, and that’s where Tuesday’s submission appears to be headed as well. Instead, Congress is likely to adhere to last year’s mini budget deal as it looks ahead to midterm elections this fall.

By the numbers President Barack Obama’s budget projects a $250 billion increase in spending over the record $3.65 trillion expected for the current year. It also projects a 2015 deficit of $564 billion.

Said Paul Ryan, the Republican chairman of the House Budget Committee: “This budget isn’t a serious document; it’s a campaign brochure.”

The president unveiled his budget eight months before congressional elections in which Republicans are expected to gain seats in the House and have a chance of seizing control of the Senate.

GOP control of Congress in the final two years of Obama’s presidency would leave his agenda in tatters.

Obama’s submission pur-

ports to adhere to the budget limits negotiated in December by Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. But it also proposes a $55 billion “Opportunity, Growth, and Security” fund that would supplement the 2015 limit on agency operating budgets set by the Ryan-Murray agreement. Half of the money would be for defense and half for domestic programs.

All told, Obama proposes $304 billion above existing limits on agency operating budgets over the coming five years, an almost 6 percent increase.

This includes extra spending for the Pentagon for readiness, repair of deteriorating military bases and the purchase of aircraft. On the domestic front, the plan promises grants to states for preschools and new research financed by the National Institutes of Health.

WASHINGTON – Aided by video captured by dashboard cameras in police cruisers, Supreme Court justices on Tuesday seemed poised to rule for police officers involved in a high-speed chase that ended with the deaths of the fleeing driver and his passenger.

No one on the court appeared willing to affirm an appeals court ruling allowing a civil lawsuit by the driver’s daughter to proceed against six West Memphis, Ark., police officers.

They fatally shot driver Donald Rickard and passenger Kelly Allen in 2004 in a chaotic scene on a Memphis street following a chase that began across the Mississippi River in Arkansas. A police officer pulled over Rickard’s white Honda because a headlight was out. Rickard sped away when the officer asked him to get out of the car.

The lawsuit says police used excessive force. But several justices said the officers may not have done anything wrong or at least should be shielded from liability.

A decision in the case, Plumhoff v. Rickard, 12-1117, is expected by late June.

Lawmakers press White House again on pot rules WASHINGTON – A senior U.S. drug enforcement official urged Congress and others Tuesday not to abandon scientific concerns over marijuana in favor of public opinion to legalize it, even as the Obama administration takes a handsoff approach in states where voters have made legal its sale and use.

The deputy administrator for the Drug Enforcement Administration, Thomas Harrigan, testified Tuesday before a House oversight panel

that easing laws governing marijuana threatens U.S. institutions.

“We should not abandon science and fact in favor of public opinion,” Harrigan said.

He echoed previous testimony from James Capra, DEA’s chief of operations, who told a Senate panel in January that “going down the path to legalization in this country is reckless and irresponsible.”

The subcommittee chairman, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., said the country is “in a state of conflict and chaos right now” over marijuana policy.

Transgender student recants assault report SAN FRANCISCO – A transgender teenager who said he was beaten and sexually assaulted in a California high school bathroom recanted the story, police said Tuesday.

The 15-year-old student at Hercules Middle/High School “admitted he fabricated the whole story” during an interview with a detective, Hercules police Detective Connie Van Putten said.

The teen, who is biologically female but identifies as male, had told officers he was leaving a boy’s bathroom at the school Monday morning when three other boys pushed him inside a large stall and attacked him.

Officers took his statement and opened an investigation that included a sexual assault examination. But as the investigation continued, officers could not substantiate the facts of the boy’s statement, including the time frame, and he lacked any physical injuries to his head, face and hands, police said.

The student finally admitted Tuesday he had made up the story, Van Putten said. She would not speculate on why.

Dillard, of Hinsdale, said there wasn’t anything a governor could do about it, adding later that he wouldn’t further restrict access to abortions.

Rauner, a Winnetka resident seeking public office for the first time, said he doesn’t have a social agenda.

“I believe abortion is a tragedy. It’s a sad event I wish didn’t occur,” Rauner said. But he said he believes it is a decision that should be between a woman, her family and her doctor, and that government shouldn’t be involved.

factor for some GOP voters leading up to the March 18 primary.

All candidates have made a push in recent days to get voters to the polls sooner. Early voting runs through March 15.

Brady, Dillard and Rutherford have trailed Rauner in polls and fundraising, but they have vowed to make up the difference.

A survey this week by Southern Illinois University’s Paul Simon Public Policy Institute showed nearly 35 percent of likely Republican voters haven’t made up their minds. When it came to the candidates, about 33 percent of potential voters supported Rauner. Brady had more than 12 percent, Dillard near-

ly 11 percent and Rutherford at nearly 10 percent. The poll interviewed 1,001 voters from Feb. 12-25, of which 295 said they would vote in the primary. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 5.7 percentage points.

The debate – which featured some feisty moments – also covered the minimum wage, the state’s expiring income tax increase and Illinois’ new pension law aimed at reducing nearly $100 billion in unfunded liability.

All four agreed on the death penalty, which the state abolished after former Gov. George Ryan halted all executions in Illinois in 2003 over fears that a flawed system had led to wrongful convictions of death row inmates.

Rutherford and Brady said it should be reinstated. Dillard said it should be reserved for the “worst of the worst,” and Rauner said it could be a “workable option” when there was guilt beyond any doubt.

MOSCOW – Stepping back from the brink of war, Vladimir Putin talked tough but cooled tensions in the Ukraine crisis Tuesday, saying Russia has no intention “to fight the Ukrainian people” but reserves the right to use force.

As the Russian president held court in his personal residence, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Kiev’s fledgling government and urged Putin to stand down.

“It is not appropriate to invade a country, and at the end of a barrel of a gun dictate what you are trying to achieve,” Kerry said. “That is not 21st-century, G-8, major nation behavior.”

Poll: Many likely GOP voters undecided

Still, he tempered those comments by warning that Russia was willing to use “all means at our disposal” to protect ethnic Russians in the country.

Significantly, Russia agreed to a NATO request to hold a special meeting to discuss Ukraine on Wednesday in Brussels, opening up a possible diplomatic channel in a conflict that still holds monumental hazards and uncertainties. At the same time, the U.S. and 14 other nations formed a military observer mission to monitor the tense Crimea region, and the team was headed there in 24 hours.

While the threat of military confrontation retreated somewhat, both sides ramped up economic feuding. Russia hit its nearly broke neighbor with a termination of discounts on natural gas, while the U.S. announced a $1 billion aid package in energy subsidies to Ukraine.

diers, global markets jumped higher on tentative signals that the Kremlin was not seeking to escalate the conflict. Kerry brought moral support and a $1 billion aid package to a Ukraine fighting to fend off bankruptcy.

Lounging in an armchair before Russian tricolor flags, Putin made his first public comments since the Ukrainian president fled a week and a half ago. It was a signature Putin performance, filled with earthy language, macho swagger and sarcastic jibes, accusing the West of promoting an “unconstitutional coup” in Ukraine. At one point he compared the U.S. role to an experiment with “lab rats.”

But the overall message appeared to be one of de-escalation. “It seems to me (Ukraine) is gradually stabilizing,” Putin said. “We have no enemies in Ukraine.

Ukraine is a friendly state.”

It based the gas station purchase estimate off how much Citgo bought the gas station for in 2004.

The village also said there would be a loss in sales tax revenue to Algonquin and to the Regional Transportation Authority.

Lake in the Hills estimates there would be a loss of $4.1 million in local sales tax, $1.75 million of RTA sales tax and $12.3 million lost in state sales tax over 20 years.

“There’s quite a bit of revenue lost from a gas station,” Mulcahy said.

Village Administrator Gerald Sagona said the lost revenue from the Citgo was based off the average revenue of two gas stations in Lake in the Hills in 2013.

Sagona said he could not

“We’ll be looking at all the angles,” Austin said. “The County Board wants to be thoughtful about it and all the scenarios. We’ll do that.”

The county is in the second phase of design and engineering for the proposed Randall Road improvements. Part of the 3.5-mile corridor improvement, which calls for widening Randall Road from County Line Road to Ackman Road, is a controversial continuous flow intersection at Randall and Algonquin roads.

In a continuous flow intersection, those turning left move into turn lanes earlier than in traditional intersections, and the separate lanes allow them to go left at the same time other vehicles are proceeding straight through.

The county estimates the delay at the continuous flow intersection would be 38 seconds compared with 93 seconds for a conventional intersection.

disclose which gas stations he used to estimate the Citgo revenue because of confidentiality agreements. He did say one was a high-volume gas station and one was a “not as high” volume gas station.

Sagona said it was a conservative estimate.

Lake in the Hills has been adamant about its opposition to the proposed continuous flow intersection because it limits access to retail businesses at the intersection.

Sagona said the information has been distributed to McHenry County Board members via email.

County Administrator Peter Austin said he has yet to digest the Lake in the Hills analysis.

The county has hired a firm to look at the issues of balancing commerce and transportation issues and concerns at the intersection, and there are many scenarios of “what-ifs.”

In a separate but related case, Bianchi’s attorney late last year sought to hold McQueen in contempt of court, alleging that McQueen withheld evidence. After a bench trial, McQueen also was acquitted.

To date, county taxpayers have spent almost $780,000 on the special prosecutions.

Attorneys for McQueen and Quest initially contacted county administration about its insurance policy for paying the legal defense in this case, but county officials say that special prosecutors are not covered under its policy.

McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham in 2009 appointed Tonigan and McQueen to investigate claims that Bianchi had an employee perform campaign work on taxpayer time. A special grand jury approved corruption charges against Bianchi and his secretary, Joyce Synek.

Graham later authorized Tonigan and McQueen to expand their investigation, which resulted in more charges against Bianchi and state’s attorney investigators Ron Salgado and Michael McCleary.

More waste in Springfield State regulators must dig deeper into the $55 million Neighborhood Recovery Initiative program created by Gov. Pat Quinn months before the 2010 gubernatorial election.

It is a program characterized by questionable spending, minimal results and improper accounting, funded by the state but run by Chicago’s aldermen and their surrogates.

That’s not just us talking: Those were the findings of the state Office of the For the record Auditor General, whose audit of the Such waste is inexcusable, taxpayer-funded and judging from the audit, program was retaxpayers have every reason leased last week. to assume that millions were Quinn created squandered. the program in August 2010 after a visit to Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood, and $30 million was transferred to the program before the managing agency, the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority, was even notified. The stated purpose of the program was to reduce risk factors associated with violence in Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods.

Well, some of them, anyway.

“Our comparison of NRI communities to the violent crime totals published by the Chicago police found seven Chicago neighborhoods that were among the 20 most violent neighborhoods that did not receive NRI funding,” the audit said.

When it came to choosing the agencies that would lead the program, the state sought recommendations from Chicago aldermen rather than using a competitive bidding process, and didn’t concern itself with potential conflicts of interest.

The audit found the program’s quarterly spending reports were submitted late and were inaccurate, and that 40 percent of expense spending in one sample was found to be questionable.

The aldermen’s hand-picked lead agencies spent $46.2 million in the recovery initiative, more than $37 million of it for day-to-day activities, the audit showed.

The Violence Prevention Authority had no process for recovering unspent money in a timely manner.

Meanwhile, an intergovernmental agreement with the University of Illinois at Chicago meant to measure the program’s success … was not enforced.

State Sen. Tim Bivins, a Dixon Republican, wants to learn more.

“I’ve spent 32 years in law enforcement and the information I’m looking at is the kind of information indictments are made of,” he said.

“This warrants in my estimation a criminal investigation.”

It might be an election year, but this is not a political ploy. Rather, it’s an audit by an impartial state agency that shows blatant mismanagement and lack of results in a multimillion-dollar program hastily created by Quinn during an election year.

Such waste is inexcusable, and judging from the audit, taxpayers have every reason to assume that millions were squandered.

Even worse, it seems virtually none of the people living in our state’s most violent and dangerous neighborhoods were helped – with the possible exception of those who helped themselves.

It is another disappointing example of the culture of waste that continues to thrive in our state, and another reason that Illinois needs change in Springfield.

I want this person to know that you did so much more than just pay for our lunch. That day was a very hard day for us, and your act of kindness lifted our spirits and brought tears to our eyes.

Thank you so much for being a caring human being. Words don’t describe what you did for us that day. Please know that we can’t thank you enough. It wasn’t just the meal you helped us with, you touched our souls that day.

No war in Syria To the Editor: First we have not been attacked.

If we want to stop barbarism, before we start another war in Syria, we should ban all torture ourselves.

Not until then, we should, and not ever, start another war.

We secretly waterboarded, and electric needle pricked other helpless victims. We have tortured people in Guantanamo, Nicaragua and El Salvador, and even backed the torturous Chilean dictator Gen. Pinochet after the CIA led to overthrowing President Allende for nationalizing copper.

We perpetually have been the world’s policeman. Let oil-rich Middle Easterners such as Saudi Arabia be the policeman.

If war sophisticated weapons profit most, and that has been our course, corporations such as Haliburton, war suppliers or plane companies prefer a guaranteed customer (U.S. government) and huge profits.

To start a war, sympathy must be found for it. To start a war in Iraq, former President Bush got intelligence to find WMDs there. After the Iraq war, admittedly no WMDs were ever there.

Choosing children as war victims is ploy to start another war.

Children are going hungry and homeless.

administrative reform.

To solve the township administrative assessment problem, a nonelected professional office of assessor should be created in each county. The office of the township assessor would be eliminated, and each county would be responsible for the valuation process for its territory. The provisions for certification, or recertification, of the county assessor would be provided on a professional basis.

We now have a greater than ever capacity to appraise property and to evaluate the results of the process, thanks to computer-assisted methodologies. Computerization also gives the taxpayer much easier access to information. These new methodologies will require assessors to be board certified appraisers using national standards for assessments.

be centralized at the county level, and the office of assessor should be appointed rather than an elective position – as is the case now. To the township charge that centralization will violate the township cherished principals of local control, the answer is that centralizing the purely administrative act of property assessments removes the grounds for the criticisms of the property tax, which is the lack of fairness and uniformity of township assessments.

Each year, thousands of homes and businesses in McHenry County are overassessed by thousands of dollars, resulting in higher tax bills.

In short, the township assessor should be abolished and replaced by an appointed professional, who could easily be removed if assessments were not fair or uniform.

The biblical thing to do is let them eat their cake In Arizona has come a test of the motto conservative Christians like to invoke: “Hate the sin, love the sinner.”

Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has vetoed the “religious freedom bill” passed by the Republican legislature. While there is no mention in the bill of same-sex marriage, or even homosexuals, most people believe same-sex marriage and homosexuals were the targets of the proposed law.

Proponents asserted Senate Bill 1062 was written to protect the “free exercise of religion” for businesses and their employees. U.S. citizens already enjoy that protection under the First Amendment, but the bill’s backers believed that further protections were needed because of the aggressive posture taken by many gay rights advocates pushing for legal and societal approval of samesex marriage.

In her veto announcement, Brewer said, “Religious liberty is a core American and Arizona value –

so is nondiscrimination.”

Sometimes these values are in conflict, as with the Arizona legislation and the Obama administration’s attempt to impose its contraceptive mandate in the Affordable Care Act on Hobby Lobby and the Little Sisters of the Poor.

There are legal challenges to religious conscience in other states, including New Mexico, where a photography company refused to take pictures at a gay couple’s civil commitment ceremony, and Oregon, where a bakery refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

After protests, that bakery closed its storefront, only to reopen almost immediately as an in-home bakery.

Clearly, conservative Christian values are under assault in today’s culture. But two other points should be made. One is the danger when one’s faith is forced on people who do not share it. The second is that people who don’t share those religious beliefs err when they seek to force people of faith to embrace

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

VIEWS Cal Thomas their beliefs and practices. Balance and humility ought to be pursued by both sides.

Let us recall our history. Religion once was wrongly used by some to condemn interracial marriage. In some churches, the Bible was misused to justify countless forms of discrimination against African-Americans. Women, too, were thought by some Christians to be inferior to men and, therefore, it was believed just to deny them the same rights and privileges enjoyed by men. The Bible sometimes was employed to keep women from voting, establishing credit or owning property. Women were to be “submissive” to their husbands, thereby inhibiting their demands for the vote and their calls for gender equality.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

The biblical thing to do for the Oregon cake business was to bake the cake for the gay couple.

If businesses can refuse to serve such people based on the religious beliefs of its owners or employees, they wouldn’t be in business very long.

Then there’s the flip side. Should Muslim women be forced to go without their bodies and heads covered because an employer of another faith demands it? Should a Catholic priest be required to marry a divorced couple, if he abides by his church’s fundamental tenets? You see where this can lead? Virtually every decision about competing interests requires that one belief will be “discriminated against.”

There is a higher law, and it incorporates grace and mercy. When offered the opportunity to condemn “the woman taken in adultery,” Jesus, faced by her angry accusers, bent down and started to write in the dirt with his finger (John 8:2-11) before saying, “Let any one

of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Slowly the crowd drifted away. After the crowd was gone, Jesus turned to the woman and asked: “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

“No one, Lord,” she replied.

“Neither do I condemn you,” he declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Conservative Christians should not be in the condemnation business, but in the restoration business.

The Christian bakers who refused to bake the cake might have used their opportunity to tell the gay couple about the God who loves them more then they could ever love each other. That would have been a proper – and biblical – exercise of their faith and religious freedom under the First Amendment’s free speech clause.

POLICE ISSUE 19 DRIVING CITATIONS LAKE IN THE HILLS – Police issued 19 citations Monday to drivers caught using their cellphones in Lake in the Hills during a special four-hour enforcement aimed at distracted drivers.

Lake in the Hills police issued the citations along Pyott Road, north of Algonquin Road, according to a department news release issued Tuesday. The special enforcement comes after a new state law, which prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, took effect on Jan. 1.

Illinois joined 11 other states and the District of Columbia to ban the use of hand-held devices while driving. Drivers can use bluetooth or voice commands while operating their vehicles.

Police officer out of hospital 15-year-old on learner’s permit cited after hitting unmarked squad car

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock police officer is recovering after a 15-year-old driver on his learner’s permit crashed into the officer’s unmarked Woodstock squad car Monday night.

At 6:24 p.m., the juvenile motorist from Woodstock was waiting to turn left from westbound Route 14 onto Dean Street. When he turned left, he struck an unmarked Woodstock squad car, which was traveling eastbound on

Route 14. The squad car then hit a vehicle facing north waiting on Dean Street.

Officer Eric Schmidtke was driving a Ford Interceptor and had to be extricated from the vehicle. He was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock and subsequently flown to St. Anthony’s Hospi-

tal in Rockford, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

He was released from the hospital late Monday night, according to McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop.

The traffic signal for eastbound and westbound Route

14 was green at the time of crash, the release said.

Because of the extra equipment in the squad car, such as the computer, radio and weapons, it took longer to conduct the extrication, Woodstock Fire Lt. Patrick Ryan said.

The juvenile driver and his adult passenger were taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, where they were treated and released, Knop said.

The names of the juvenile and others involved in the crash were not released.

Eastbound Route 14 was shut down for about two hours after the accident, Ryan said.

The sheriff’s office is investigating the crash because a Woodstock officer was involved.

Knop said the juvenile was cited for failure to yield when turning left at an intersection.

She said everyone involved was wearing a seat belt, and alcohol and drugs did not appear to have been a factor.

The officer was believed to be performing normal driving, Knop said.

Barbara Thorsen has been the organist for First Congregational Church in Crystal Lake for the past 60 years, first starting in 1953. On Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m., the church will hold two celebratory concerts in her honor with area musicians helping out.

CRYSTAL LAKE – When Barbara Thorsen first sat behind an organ at First Congregational Church she barely knew how to turn it on let alone play it.

Sixty years later, she is being celebrated by the Crystal Lake congregation for the original arrangements and mastery of hymns she continues to produce for

the church to this day. The longtime organist will be celebrated with concerts on Saturday and Sunday – both starting at 4 p.m. – that feature performances by church choirs, professional and amateur soloists and Thorsen.

Before she sat behind the keys for the first time in 1953 at the church, Thorsen earned a degree in piano performance and composition from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago.

She used those skills in Chicago jazz bands and dance schools before starting a family inspired her to slow down and give a church organ a try.

“The keyboard looks the same, but the touch, the feel, is much different,” Thorsen said of first switching to organ. “When I look back and think of how I used to play at the beginning, they’ve put up

Chair delivers State of County speech

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill spent the first half of her second State of the County Address looking back, and the second half looking forward.

Hill started her 15-minute address Tuesday morning by thanking board members for taking up her challenge last year to “develop new ideas and solutions” that challenge the status quo, and asked them to continue in what she said will be another good year for responsible county government.

“While we had great suc-

cess this past year, we still have a ways to go in enacting meaningful change,” Hill said. “We have our work cut out for us to meet the goals we set this next year with determination.”

County Board rules require the chairman to give the annual address at the first meeting in February, but Hill took a monthlong leave of absence for medical reasons.

A significant step in a process that started years before Hill’s chairmanship began is expected to be taken Wednesday afternoon.

After more than a year of joint meetings, the Planning and Development Commit-

tee and the Zoning Board of Appeals are expected to vote to move the Unified Development Ordinance forward to public review.

The ordinance updates all county development-related ordinances, such as for zoning, signs and subdivisions, and combines them into one document. An ongoing update and improvement of the Stormwater Management Ordinance also is expected to be approved this year.

Both those documents, as well as all county ordinances, will be available online this year, and plans are moving forward this year to allow civil court cases and building and health depart-

ment permits to be filed electronically, Hill said.

Hill touched on the completion of long-needed transportation improvements, such as the widening of Rakow Road, doubling the capacity of the Charles Miller Road bridge, and last fall’s opening of the full interchange at Route 47 and Interstate 90.

The “real excitement,” Hill said, surrounds the engineering phase for the Randall Road widening project, which seeks to widen the road to six lanes through McHenry County and improve the intersection of

WOODSTOCK – A new BYOB permit will allow the city to regulate nonrestaurant businesses that host events where customers bring their own alcohol.

The liquor license distinction is geared toward event venues and other businesses that rent out to customers who want to host events with alcohol.

As with other BYOB licenses, the owners of the business are responsible for making sure those drinking are following liquor laws.

“What precipitated it was a request from a local business to host events,” said Cindy Smiley, Woodstock executive assistant. “They had had requests from their clients.”

Mixin Mingle, on Woodstock’s Square, first approached the city about whether its patrons could bring their own alcohol.

Woodstock has two other BYOB distinctions – both geared toward restaurants. The typical BYOB permit costs $200 a year.

A “BYOB Corkage” permit costs $400, but allows restaurants to store their customers’ drinks over time.

The new nonrestaurant permit will cost $200 a year.

Smiley said she didn’t anticipate the new option would change the way nonprofits, who can opt for a special event liquor license, approach their major events and fundraisers.

Instead, she said she thought private businesses would take advantage of businesses who register under the new distinction to host things like jewelry or painting classes that include wine.

“I think that’s maybe more what this will be used for,” Smiley said.

McHENRY: CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVES RESOLUTION

JOHNSBURG: ONLINE SURVEY

McHenry, Johnsburg back Fox Waterway Agency

Johnsburg gathers input on its downtown area

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The city of McHenry is the latest to throw its support behind the Fox Waterway Agency.

The McHenry City Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday evening opposing proposed legislation that would eliminate the agency.

The Johnsburg Village Board also has approved a similar

resolution.

The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Terry Link, D-Waukegan, and Julie Morrison, D-Deerfield, is designed to eliminate redundancies in government by consolidating the agency’s responsibilities with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Link said.

The Fox Waterway Agency has been responsible for dredging lakes, collecting user fees and performing rescues since

it was created in 1983, according to agency employees.

The agency typically partners with the 27 municipalities in its area if they have people and equipment available, said Rob Rinkenberger, superintendent and employee of 17 years.

“They talk about the 7,200 agencies that we have in the state and that there’s so much more that we need to get rid of them,” McHenry Alderman Andy Glab said. “It’s very con-

cerning and almost humorous that they pick out Fox waterway management, that doesn’t cost the taxpayers [property or income tax] money than looking at somewhere else.”

Alderman Robert Peterson agreed, adding his boat stickers are one fee he doesn’t mind paying.

“They want to take this money and put it in the Department of Natural Resources,” he said. “We’ll never see it again.”

MCHENRY COUNTY: MOBILE HEALTH UNIT

Centegra offers vascular screenings NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The Centegra Wellness on the Move mobile health unit will offer vascular screenings in several McHenry County communities this month.

Vascular disease is among the leading causes of death in the U.S. but generally doesn’t show symptoms until something like a stroke or aneu-

rysm rupture happens.

The screening provides immediate preliminary results for tests designed to detect plaque buildup on the carotid artery, blockage risk and peripheral arterial disease, atrial fibrillation and risk level for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Participants also will receive their body mass index as well as pulse and blood pressure numbers.

Follow-up reports completed by a Centegra Health System radiologist are mailed to the patient within one week.

The screening costs $129.

The screenings will be available from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Centegra Physician Care – Huntley, 10350 Haligus Road; 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. March 18 at Centegra Hospital – McHenry, 4309 Medical Center Drive; 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

March 25 at Centegra Physician Care – Spring Grove, 1906 Holian Drive; and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. March 27 at Woodstock Recreation Center, 820 Lake Ave. For information about all of the screenings offered through the Centegra Wellness on the Move mobile health unit, visit centegra.org/screenings.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – As part of its efforts to revitalize its downtown, the village of Johnsburg is looking for input from residents, business owners and frequent visitors about what they want the downtown to look like.

The results from the survey will be used by the Economic Development Committee and engineering firm HR Green to develop a downtown plan focused on the “visual appeal, economic vibrancy and social connectivity” of downtown Johnsburg, the village said in a news release.

The Village Board also plans on putting together policies on parking, safe pedestrian walkways, parks, businesses, housing and community gathering areas to guide its future growth and improvements.

“We are trying to find out what they feel our downtown should become,” committee chairman and village Trustee John Huemann has said, adding the committee has put an emphasis on making the downtown walkable and taking advantage of the riverfront.

The downtown district follows Johnsburg Road as it swings north and also heads south along Chapel Hill Road, crossing the Fox River.

The survey asks respondents about quality of life issues, including proximity to work, education and crime rates, how Johnsburg and other communities compare, and how different homes, businesses and open spaces rank aesthetically.

The survey can be accessed at the village’s website, johnsburg.org, through the link labeled “Downtown Vision Survey,” through the end of the month or at the village’s booth at the Johnsburg Area Business Association Expo on March 15.

Residents without access to computers can use computers at the Johnsburg Village Hall or Johnsburg Public Library to complete the survey.

Village Hall hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the library is open 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 1 to 4 p.m. the third Sunday of each month.

PRAIRIE GROVE: COST ESTIMATED AT $1.5M

Engineer hired for Justen Road bridge project

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – The village of Prairie Grove is moving ahead with plans to repair the bridge that carries Justen Road over Sleepy Hollow Creek.

The Prairie Grove Village Board hired its contractual engineering firm, Baxter & Woodman, to conduct the first phase of engineering for the project.

The contract is worth $124,900 and will be paid for using an 80-20 matching federal grant, Village Administrator Jeannine Smith said.

The project “is definitely

in the forefront of our minds because it is a very expensive project,” Smith said, adding the village has submitted a funding request to the federal government to help cover costs.

The cost to replace the bridge is estimated at $1.5 million, though part of the phase one engineering will include a cost-benefit analysis, which will look at whether repair or replacement is the best alternative, she said.

Although the bridge isn’t a large one, it is multi-span and built off a curving road, which means the engineering that goes into the project will be

more intensive, Smith said.

The Illinois Department of Transportation has declared the bridge structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, which means parts of it are in poor or worse condition and it no longer meets current design standards.

These classifications don’t mean the bridge, which was built in 1973, is likely to collapse or is unsafe, but it does mean it requires significant maintenance and needs repair.

The Justen Road bridge is open to regular car and truck traffic, but the village is restricting use by overweight trucks.

The lecture will be from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center – Huntley, 10450 Algonquin Road.

Dr. Daniela Huerta de Hathaway, an internist with Centegra Physician Care, will discuss metabolic syndrome and the link between diabetes, waist size,

high blood pressure and high cholesterol. She will discuss ways to reduce risk factors and control metabolic syndrome.

The lecture will be from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. March 20 at Centegra Health Bridge Fitness – Crystal Lake, 200 E. Congress Parkway.

The group spent a week helping with a number of housing reconstruction projects, and some members since have traveled to Marseilles for similar volunteer work.

A trip to Washington, Ill., to

assist in the ongoing rebuilding of that tornado-stricken area is planned this summer.

“It just evolved that we wanted to go further, and that we’d also like to work in the local area,” Boyle said.

Among projects on the short list is constructing a wheelchair ramp for an elderly, disabled Crystal Lake woman in need.

“It will cost about $1,000 for materials, but we’ve got the volunteers to do it,” Boyle said. “Now we’ll start thinking of a fundraiser.”

Those attending the meeting Thursday will learn more about the group’s mission and how they can help. For information, call Boyle at 815-7881050.

Police looking to return lost, stolen property McHENRY – Bicycles, lawn ornaments, electronics and jewelry frequently end up at the McHenry Police Department.

The items are either turned in as found property or recovered after vehicle, residential and commercial burglaries, but the police often have trouble finding the items’ owners and the property is eventually auctioned off.

To ensure that items make their way back to their owners, McHenry police are reminding visitors and residents to notify the police when property is

lost or stolen and to follow up afterward.

To file a police report, go to the police department at the McHenry Municipal Center, 333.

S. Green St., or call 815-3632200. The department recommends having as much information as possible, including make, model, serial number, identifying marks and purchase receipts.

Continued from page B1 Randall and Algonquin roads.

But the word “excitement” can have more than one meaning. The proposal to build a continuous flow intersection at Randall and Algonquin roads has gained numerous opponents, from trustees in Lake in the Hills and Algonquin to a number of candidates running for County Board this year.

“Transportation remains a priority for McHenry County in 2014,” Hill said. “Moving

motorists in, out and around the county on the county’s transportation network is a key responsibility of McHenry County government.”

The County Board this year will hammer out a fiveyear capital plan to address its facilities and technology needs. The board in 2008 attempted to address its space

needs with a campus master plan, which was shelved with the Great Recession.

But whatever comes out of a capital plan will have to fit in with the county budget – county staff is starting the budget process for fiscal 2015.

Hill said she does not expect the County Board’s budget priorities to change, such as a balanced budget and a sixmonth cash reserve.

Hill did not say whether she expects the County Board to again freeze its levy and voluntarily spurn the inflationary increase it is entitled to under the tax cap as it has done the past two years.

Continued from page B1 with a lot.”

Those listening in the congregation only know Thorsen has given a lot, contributing to more than 150 productions, concerts and cantatas and pulling double duty nearly every Sunday to cover both services.

She has become one of the church’s most influential figures, forming the sound and songs that have connected congregations through the decades that included seven different pastors.

Ann Tucker knows the influence and importance of Thorsen’s work well. Thorsen was the organist at Tucker’s baptism in 1971, and now the two work closely with each other as Tucker took charge as the church’s music director in 2006.

Tucker said Thorsen is as sharp as ever and still practices two to three hours a day in preparation for concerts, even if she has played the tunes before.

“I went through all the choir programs here starting when I was 4, so she’s been Mrs. Thorsen to me for a long time,” Tucker said of the tran-

“As policy makers, we will struggle with the goals to maintain McHenry County’s financial strength and triple-A bond rating and the desire to minimize property taxes,” Hill said.

A significant change could come this year to the chairman’s seat itself. A referendum going to voters in the March primary asks whether to make the chairmanship popularly elected to four-year terms, rather than elected by the 24-member board after each November election.

If approved by voters, the chairman would be elected starting in 2016.

sition to a working relationship with her teacher. “She has so much experience and knowledge and her resilience and dedication is inspiring.”

Both women said selecting songs for the celebration concerts this weekend has been one of their most enjoyable collaborations. An especially meaningful song to Thorsen that will be performed is “Ever Journeying Friend.”

The hymn was composed by her daughter – a professional composer in New York – for the church in 1992 and has become a congregation staple.

While the concerts will be a welcomed change for Thorsen, she has no plans of leaving the bench in the coming Sundays thanks in part to the motivation to challenge herself and expand that former music director Eva Wedel and now Tucker have provided, Thorsen said.

“Well I don’t know if you want to write this but my plan is to keel over these keys,” Thorsen said with a laugh.

“I feel very fortunate that at my age I feel as good as I do. I don’t feel old at all.”

The concerts are open and free to the public. Organizes encourage people to arrive early as they expect standing room-only crowds.

KANE COUNTY: RACES FOR CLERK, SHERIFF

Candidates field questions at forum Facing an audience at the Kane County Branch Court in St. Charles, Davoust said he would bring a fresh perspective to the office and would work to bring more voters to the polls.

“I’m proud of what we’ve done in our office,” Cunningham said.

Mark Davoust

Lt. Kevin Williams and retired Lt. Donald Kramer, both of Geneva, are vying for sheriff. The winner of the Republican primary will face Sgt. Willie Mayes Sr. in November.

Sheriff Pat Perez, a Democrat, is not seeking another

term.

Williams has been a civil servant in various capacities, he said, noting his commitment to Kane County residents is why he wants the job.

“I’m very passionate about serving,” he said.

Kramer’s interest in police work began as a child, he said, noting his father was in law enforcement and was sheriff when he joined the office.

Both candidates said there is a need to work with the community to address heroin and substance abuse.

Kramer said a threepronged approach is needed: Prevention, education and enforcement.

“It’s a community problem,” Kramer said.

Williams said prescription drugs also must be included in the discussion.

Many kids have become hooked on those drugs during treatment for a sports-related injury, he said, noting that it can lead to their use of street drugs.

The primary election is March 18.

Early voting started Monday.

Everyone Can Cook!

Alexander told Jaret that learning to cook a few simple dishes makes for cheaper and better tasting meals. Circle every other letter to see which two things he thinks everyone should learn to cook.

MasterChef Junior winner Alexander Weiss with judges Joe Bastianich, Gordon Ramsay and Graham Elliot.

Q: When did you begin b cooking?

A: I started baking wit with my mom when I was about 3 or 4.

4 I baked things like li cupcakes and cookies with her.

As I got older, around the age of 10, I started watching my dad cook savory food. I wanted to try things and get in the kitchen with him.

Standards Link: Reading comprehension: Follow simple written directions.

Q: How did you u prepare for the show?

A: Before I even got the news that I was going on the show, I acted like I was already selected. I started practicing super technical things like searing tuna, making profiteroles and éclairs.

Q: How did you get on the show?

A: My school sent an email saying anyone with a real passion for cooking could go and audition in New York City for the MasterChef Junior show. First, I had a phone interview, and then a 30 minute on-camera cooking demo. Last, there was an interview/audition. They asked me to cook an egg, cut a vegetable, and measure some water, so that was really simple.

Q: What was the time frame from the start of the show until they announced the winner?

A: It all took less than a month.

Q: Did you stay in a hotel while taping the show?

A: Only one of my parents could come out to Los Angeles with me, so my mom came out with me for the beginning of the show.

Since I stayed in the competition for a long time, my dad came out later.

We were not allowed to leave the hotel until one of the show’s crew members came to get us. It was fun, a bit claustrophobic at times, having to stay in a hotel room for so long.

Q: What is something people don’t know about the show that would be surprising?

A: I think what would surprise you is that back at the hotel, we were all super nice to each other. We could completely drop the competition.

We were all really good friends and would go down to the pool and hang around.

Alexander adds cheese to his pasta during the competition.

Lily 4th grade It is very important to know how to read.

Ashishek 4th grade Why is reading important? I’ve got the answer! Reading is important because it is fun. It is like you are going to a new world. Let me see, Oh, I got it! You read a Harry Potter book it feels like you got trapped in the book, now you are a wizard.

It is important to read because you can learn so much from books. That is why reading is important.

Dana 4th grade

Send youryour story to: Send answer to:

Alexander stands with fellow competitor, Dara, at the moment it was announced he had won.

Why read, you ask? One reason to read is because it builds your vocabulary. You need new words in you vocabulary.

Oliwia 4th grade Why read? Why is it important to read?

Good question. It is important to read because you read everywhere! Cereal boxes, signs, books, and homework. You need to read and visualize pictures in your head and feel excited! If you read you lose all your stress and feel relaxed. If you don’t read you can’t pass elementary school. That’s why you read.

Daniel 4th grade Why read? That is a good question. If I can’t read, I can’t write about reading! If you can’t read it would be hard to go to places because you can’t read the map!

Also, reading will help you with other stuff too. If you can’t read then why should you go to school because half of it is reading. Me, I love to read so much, too!

Ifra 4th grade

Deadline: March 30 Published: Week of April 27 Please include your school and grade.

Why read? Well, we use reading for practically everything! Like for instance getting an education, and how would you get a degree? Let alone get through school without reading.

Holly 4th grade Reading is important because you need to know how to read in school to succeed.

You can also learn new things by reading.

Reading can be entertaining when you read fiction books. Also try mystery. All of the suspense can entertain you. Magazines and comic can be fun, too. Reading is awesome (and important)!

Amanda Kyle 4th grade 4th grade

Reading can be adventurous and fun! It takes you anywhere, anytime, for example my book takes me to a peculiar neighborhood, and I meet a ten-year-old girl named Olive who lives in a special house owned by witches. The witches are trying to control Olive even though they’re dead.

Reading is important because it teaches you how to write, how to spell, and you can learn lots of new things! Also when you learn about things...like history, you don’t always know it. So you’re learning and having fun!

Maia 4th grade Why read? Why is it so important to read?

Well, reading can help you write stories and it can entertain you. You can take an idea from the book and put it in your own writing. Maybe try reading your favorite book. When you can’t stop reading your favorite book that means you are really entertained with that book. Plus, reading is good for your brain. That is why it’s really important to read!

Nate 4th grade Why read? Well, it’s pretty important because you won’t get life like other people will. Here are some good ideas, find a fun adventurous book where it takes you wherever you desire.

Ex-teen star Cassidy’s DWI case near resolution

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 • Section B • Page 8

A lawyer says a New York drunken driving charge against 1970s teen heartthrob David Cassidy has been reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and returned to a town court for resolution.

Cassidy was pulled over in the town of Schodack and charged with driving while intoxicated in August, when he was in upstate New York for a horse racing meet in Saratoga Springs.

The charge was a felony because Cassidy has a 2011 driving-under-the-influence conviction in his home state of Florida.

BUZZWORTHY

John Travolta apologizes to Idina Menzel for flub John Travolta has apologized to Tony Award winner Idina Menzel for mangling the pronunciation of her name during the Oscars telecast, saying he’d been “beating myself up” over it.

On Sunday night’s Academy Awards show, Travolta took the stage and introduced Menzel, but he seemed to say “Adele Dazeem” instead. An estimated 43 million people were watching, and social media has been mocking him relentlessly ever since, especially since he attended rehearsals.

Menzel, who played Maureen Johnson in “Rent” onstage and on screen and Elphaba in “Wicked,” seemed unperturbed by the flub as she sang out “Let It Go,” from the animated film “Frozen.”

Travolta said in a statement released Tuesday: “I’ve been beating myself up all day. Then I thought ... what would Idina Menzel say? She’d say, ‘Let it go, let it go!’ Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy ‘Frozen’ took home two Oscars Sunday night!”

A Twitter account with the handle @adeladazeem went up immediately after the mistake and has almost 20,000 followers. On Facebook, a Travolta-fier Name Generator, which butchers any name typed in, became immensely popular.

Menzel next stars in the new Broadway musical “If/Then,” which reunites the creative forces behind “Next to Normal” – music by Tom Kitt, story by Brian Yorkey and direction by Michael Greif. Menzel plays a woman who, on the verge of turning 40, moves to New York with the hope of a new life.

Ice dancers, Drew Carey on ABC’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Randi Zuckerberg books face time on Broadway

Olympic ice dancing gold medalists Charlie White and Meryl Davis will try a less slick surface and new partners as contes-

Randi Zuckerberg, a sister of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is turning to an old medium – the stage.

Producers of Broadway’s “Rock of Ages” said Tuesday that the social media executive and entrepreneur will play the role of community leader Regina in the splashy homage to 1980s rock ‘n’ roll at The Helen Hayes Theatre.

Randi Zuckerberg, the author of “Dot Complicated,” will appear from March 14 through April 14. “Rock of Ages” tells the story of a small town girl and an aspiring rocker whose glittery romance is set to a rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack.

tants in the next edition of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”

ABC said Tuesday that game show host Drew Carey, actor Billy Dee Williams and long distance swimmer Diana Nyad will also be on the show, which begins a new season on March 17. Other celebrity contestants include former pro hockey player Sean Avery, “Full House” actress Candace Cameron Bure, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes, James Maslow of the TV show and music group Big Time Rush, actress Danica McKellar of “The Wonder Years” and “The West Wing,” Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy and pop star Cody Simpson.

Dish, Disney deal envisions Internet-delivered TV With a string of recent deals, cable and satellite providers are beginning to acknowledge a brutal truth that companies like Hulu and Netflix have known all along: Many TV viewers, especially young ones, want shows and movies on their own terms – wherever, whenever and on whatever devices they choose.

Dish Network took a big step toward such a future with a deal announced Monday with Disney. The agreement opens the way for the satellite TV service to live-stream Disney-owned channels like ESPN and ABC over the Internet to customers’ smartphones, tablets, video game consoles and other devices. The goal is to attract so-called cord-cutters who have become disenchanted with large channel packages and rising monthly bills for cable or satellite service.

Oscar pizza delivery man gets $1K tip The pizza delivery man who fed stars at the Oscars received a best tip award for a supporting player: $1,000 in cash handed over by ceremony host Ellen DeGeneres.

That included money collected from A-list celebrities who chowed down on the pies during the ceremony Sunday and from DeGeneres herself.

Edgar Martirosyan received the tip during a visit Monday to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

DeGeneres said she passed Pharrell Williams’ oversized hat at the Oscars and collected about $600, then contributed more. The Big Mama’s & Papa’s delivery guy said he had already gotten a reward: serving Julia Roberts, whom he called the woman of his dreams.

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com BELVIDERE – At times this season, Huntley had struggled to find ways to score without the ball in Amanze Egekeze’s hands. Tuesday night in the Class 4A Belvidere North Regional did not prove to be one of those nights.

Huntley held off a scrappy DeKalb team, 58-45, to advance to the regional championship game against Jefferson. Rockford Jefferson beat Rockford East, 51-49, on a buzzer-beater before a brawl broke out.

The Red Raiders (20-7) were led by seniors Zach Gorney and Riley Wicks, who finished with 19 and 14 points, respectively.

• Winner advances to the Elgin Sectional “Amanze got in some foul trouble and other guys had to step up tonight,” Wicks said after the game.

“We know we have guys that can step up and get the job done and that was a big key for us tonight.”

That foul trouble Wicks spoke of came in the third quarter, when Egekeze picked up his fourth foul, with 6:11 remaining.

“I’m not a big proponent of taking guys out with foul trouble,” Red Raiders coach Marty Manning said.

“Now, four fouls in the third quarter? That’s a different story.”

With Egekeze on the bench for the remainder of the quarter, Wicks had a nine-point third quarter, including going 5 for 5 from the free-throw line.

Huntley, which trailed 20-17 at halftime, outscored DeKalb by 16 in the second half.

“We knew this could be our last game if we lost,” Wicks said. “We, especially us seniors, didn’t want to go out like that. It reminded us of last year at halftime, and we said Randy Stukenberg for Shaw Media we weren’t going to let it happen DeKalb’s Dre Brown (center) and Huntley’s Blake Jacobs (left) and Zach Gorney chase again.”

R-B’s ‘D’ propels it past Lakes

By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – The Richmond-Burton boys basketball team chose a bad day to have what some of its players called its worst offensive game of the year Tuesday night in the Class 3A regional semifinal against Lakes.

Lucky for the Rockets, the offensive struggles did not end their season. The Rockets’ defense carried them to a 4337 victory and a trip to the regional final Friday night.

“I thought, defensively, we played really well tonight,” R-B coach Brandon Creason said. “I thought even in the first half when we couldn’t make a shot and were turning the ball over that it was still good we were up by one because of our defense.”

Despite a strong defensive effort throughout, Richmond-Burton found itself down by two heading into the fourth quarter, when the defense managed to play even better.

The Rockets forced six turnovers and held Lakes to six fourth-quarter points, as they came back from a seven-point deficit in the third quarter for the win.

The R-B “bigs” had a great game inside led, by 6-foot-8 freshman Joey St. Pierre. St. Pierre had seven of the teams 10 blocks.

Sam Kaufman was the bright spot offensively in the first half, scoring 13 of the team’s 19 points. Kaufman led the team with 17 points on the night.

“Shots weren’t falling early, but when you have a group of guys that just want to win bad, it’s going to happen,” Kaufman said.

“It was probably one of our worst shooting games of the year, but we controlled the things we could control and came out on top.”

After trailing 31-24 late in the third quarter, the Rockets recaptured the lead on a 3-point play for St. Pierre with 2:54 left. Lakes had a few opportunities to tie it late, but missed three times on 3-point attempts that could have tied game.

Despite the effort, the game did give the team confidence that even with one of their worst offensive performances; they can still manage to come away with a win.

“As a team we didn’t shoot very well, so still getting the win means a lot. Hopefully we were just saving it for the next game,” Kaska said.

Mike Kaska was second the team with nine points and St. Pierre added seven.

The Rockets will play the top-seeded team in the R-B regional, Uplift, at 7 p.m. Friday in the regional final at Richmond.

Skyhawks fall in early hole, can’t recover Johnsburg, led by Ridout, plays nearly even with Carmel for final 3 quarters

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com NORRIDGE – In a small hallway tucked away out of sight, Collin Ridout and Steve Dixon embraced one final time, each having wiped tears away with the blue Johnsburg jerseys they had just worn for the final time.

The reality of a season-ending 5543 loss to No. 3-seeded Carmel in the Class 3A Ridgewood Regional semifinals Tuesday night hadn’t yet sunk in as much as the sudden end of their high school basketball careers was beginning to.

At Johnsburg, seniors talk about the legacy they will leave. A team defined by its grit and unwillingness to give in again had hung around as long as it

• Winner advances to the Antioch Sectional could, led by the seniors who now were making their way around the hallway hugging each of their teammates.

Despite being outsized by Carmel’s tandem of 6-foot-10 John George and 6-6 Michael Barr and out-played in a pivotal opening eight minutes, the Skyhawks never had gone away.

“Our guys, we fight and that’s what we’ve been known to do,” said Ridout, who led Johnsburg with 12 points. “We scrap and we’re little ... but we always feel like we’re in the game no matter how much we’re down. We never feel like we’re out of it.”

Johnsburg (10-20) never recovered after being outscored 13-2 in the first quarter. Going in, Skyhawks coach Mike Toussaint believed his team was better off trying to spread the floor in an attempt to keep Carmel’s size and athleticism from becoming a factor.

But after his team nearly played the Corsairs even over the final three quarters, Toussaint wondered afterward how things could have played out had he allowed the Skyhawks to try to run with Carmel from the start.

“That’s on me,” Toussaint said.

Carmel maintained a comfortable lead behind George (17 points) and Barr (15 points), who used their size advantage inside. Despite facing a double-digit deficit, Johnsburg kept

firing, using eight 3-point field goals to never lose sight of the Corsairs.

“I thought we hung around very well,” said Dixon, who finished with eight points to go along with nine by junior Luke Lobermeier.

A Ridout 3-point field goal with 3:08 remaining got the Skyhawks to within 50-38. But despite being able to put up points for much of the game, a difficult first quarter when too many turnovers led to Carmel breakway baskets became too much to overcome.

“We didn’t execute our game plan well enough at the start,” Dixon said.

“Getting down that deep in the hole is kind of hard to chip away at. But we kept plugging away.”

Ultimately, it wasn’t enough. But given the way the Skyhawks never had disappeared, Ridout said he and his fellow seniors had gone out the way they hoped.

“Our seniors showed a legacy of strong character and great discipline,” Ridout said. “I couldn’t ask for more than that.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A WOODSTOCK REGIONAL

Marian Central edges Hampshire

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Marian Central boys basketball coach Curtis Price figured that the key to beating Hampshire in the Class 3A Woodstock Regional semifinal was to shut down Ryan Cork.

Price learned all he could about the Whip-Purs senior guard, one of the area’s top scorers, and devised a game plan.

“Cork is a [heck] of a basketball player,” Price said. “We put our best defender, Derreck Caldez, on him. [Cork] loves to go left and we just told Derreck to stay on his right hand and I thought he did a tremendous job.”

The second-seeded Hurricanes (17-15) held Cork to nine points and completed a ninepoint comeback to take down the third-seeded Whip-Purs, 62-61. The win moves the Hurricanes into the regional title game at 7 p.m. Friday against top-seeded Marengo.

Nothing was working early for Marian as Hampshire (1315) came out fast and opened the game on a 7-0 run, forcing Price to call a timeout to regroup. Coming out of the stoppage, the Hurricanes went on a run of their own, scoring the next six points.

Each time one team would grab a sizable lead, the other would go on a run. Hampshire’s 15-13 first-quarter lead grew to 35-28 at halftime. Caldez hit back-to-back 3s – six of his 11 points – to tie the score at 28 late in the second, but Hampshire finished the half on a 7-0 run.

The 3s from Caldez were only the second and third shot attempts he took up until that point as he was busy guarding Cork, who scored four points by the half.

“He was great,” Pischke said of Caldez. “He took a lot of the defensive pressure off me and the other guys. Without him playing like that, we probably don’t win that game.”

Cork, Hampshire junior Matthew Bridges took advantage of some extra room and had a dominant game. He scored a game-high 19 points including three 3-pointers, 13 of which came in the first half.

It was in the second half that the Hurricanes started to chip away at the deficit. With four minutes left in the third, Pischke hit a 3 to give the Hurricanes a 40-37 lead, their first of the game. Hampshire settled down and took control again and entered the fourth quarter up 47-43, but it didn’t last long.

“We just wanted to come out with some type of intensity in the fourth,” Price said.” The game of basketball is nothing but runs and we knew if we could get a run going we would be in good shape.”

The Hurricanes opened the fourth on a 10-0 run and took the lead that they wouldn’t give back. Wyatt Lindell scored a team-high 12 points including four in the final quarter while grabbing six rebounds and two steals. He helped push the lead to 62-58 in the final seconds which was crucial as Bridges would hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer but it was not enough.

“We had some brain farts,” Hampshire coach Bob Barnett said. “Marian knocked down Michelle LaVigne for Shaw Media free throws when they had to and grabbed rebounds when Hampshire’s Austin Spaeth shoots under duress against Marian Central’s Nate Patterson and Nick they had to.

Red Raiders convert 15 of 17 free-throw attempts in victory • RED RAIDERS Continued from page C1 The Red Raiders trailed 26-25 midway through the third before senior guard Kyle Slonka hit a 3-pointer, giving Huntley a lead it never would relinquish.

“We had a number of guys step up tonight and I’m proud of the way we fought all the way until the end,” Manning said. “Everyone I put in the game, I have the confidence in, and they have it in themselves that they can contribute. It’s important that we continue to get this moving forward.”

Egekeze was able to return, and not foul out, in the fourth, helping Huntley finish off the game. He finished Randy Stukenberg for Shaw Media with 11 points.

top-seeded Indians to a 56-48 win over host Woodstock.

“We just preach defense, hard work and getting stops and rebounds,” said Indians senior Adam Rogutich, who scored a game-high 17 points. “Every possession we get a stop or rebound we have a chance to score in transition and make plays.”

The Blue Streaks (14-15 overall) were the aggressors from the opening tip as they jumped out to a 5-0 lead behind five quick points from sophomore Zach Cullum.

The electric home crowd fed off the early lead and Marengo fell into the trap of playing too fast.

But the Indians settled down and got on the board with a jumper from Rogutich to end the run before Woodstock pushed the lead to 9-2.

Marengo stuck to its plan of playing high-energy defense and the results soon followed as the Indians (20-10) scored the next 10 points and held a 12-9 lead at the end of the first. “[Woodstock] came out and smacked us in the mouth early and I thought our kids did a nice job of keeping their composure,” Benson said. “I was impressed with our response.”

Marengo’s hot stretch carried over to the next quarter and opened the second quarter on a 7-2 run spanning the first four minutes. After trading several baskets, Marengo took a 26-18 lead into the half.

But Woodstock didn’t roll over in the second half and got points from seven different players in the second half. Senior Marcus Ammirati, who missed several games this season with an ankle injury, found his range.

The 6-foot-1 shooter stretched the floor as he scored nine of his team-high 12 points in the second half on three 3s.

“Sometimes you wonder how things would’ve been different if he were healthy all 29 games,” Woodstock coach Al Baker said.

“But since he’s been back he’s given us another dimension.”

While the Blue Streaks were able to connect on six 3-pointers, they weren’t able to overcome a relentless rebounding and defensive effort from the Indians.

“It’s a big win for us and it feels real good,” said Marengo sophomore Zach Knobloch who scored 13 points. “We’re playing every game the same way, intense.”

Marengo will face second-seeded Marian Central in the regional final at 7 p.m. Friday.

Marty Manning Huntley boys basketball coach “It’s hard to get back in the game when they weren’t missing free throws,” Barbs coach Dave Rohlman said. “We executed our game plan pretty well and they were just a little better tonight.”

DeKalb was led by sophomore forward Luke Davis III with 17 points.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Dundee-Crown boys basketball coach Lance Huber had seen forward Nick Munson shoot like that before, but never on a stage like this.

“I saw him do something like that in a JV game last year,” Huber said.

“He just got hot and got on a streak. He picked a good time to do it.”

Munson hit five 3-pointers in the first half, three in the second quarter, and the Chargers led the rest of the way to defeat Cary-Grove, 47-41, in a Class 4A Crystal Lake Central Regional semifinal game Tuesday at Central’s Fieldhouse.

No. 5-seeded D-C (10-17) advances to face District 300 rival No. 3 Jacobs (17-13) at 7 p.m. Friday in the regional championship.

“It was my teammates getting into the lane and finding me [outside],” said Munson, who hit his first five 3-point attempts. “It was a great feeling. It gets not only me going, but the whole team.

And then the intensity raises on defense.”

Cordero Parson scored nine points for the Chargers. Gregoire led C-G with 17 and Tyler Szydlo added eight.

It was a familiar theme for the Trojans, who lost their last four games of the season.

Izzo on hand as McHenry falls Freund, Postal combine for 24 for Warriors

By ANDY SCHMIDT sports@nwherald.com McHENRY – If there wasn’t enough buzz around Tuesday night’s Class 4A McHenry Regional semifinal between the host and 19th-seeded Warriors and No. 1 seed Stevenson already, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo walked in minutes before tipoff to add to the energy in the building.

Although it was an exciting night for the fans, the Warriors fell behind early and couldn’t recover in a Tom Izzo 65-38 loss.

McHenry (12-16) couldn’t find the basket in the first quarter, not hitting a shot while falling behind 15-2 after the first eight minutes. It didn’t get any better in the second quarter and the Warriors were down 27-8 at the intermission.

Stevenson would score the first five points of the third quarter before McHenry made its only charge, scoring 18 of the next 24 points to pull within 38-26 late in the third quarter. Although the result wasn’t what McHenry coach Tim Paddock wanted, he was pleased with his team’s drive after halftime.

“I thought we were really good defensively the entire game,” Paddock said. “We didn’t score well in the first half, but we came out in the second half, played, left it on the floor and played aggressive. The second half was fun and something they can take with them.”

Stevenson star Jalen Brunson, who Izzo was scouting, scored 18 points but had only four at the half. The Patriots were led by Connor Cashaw’s 20 points.

McHenry was led by 12 points from both Cody Freund and Kyle Postal. Freund said the Warriors were hoping to pull an epic upset at home.

“We knew what they had,” Freund said. “We had seen all the hype and press with Brunson and Cashaw. We knew we were going to have to come out here and play a great basketball game and we didn’t in the first half. We were just trying to shock the

After the game, Freund and a couple of his teammates took a moment to get a picture with Izzo, just like many of the fans did at halftime. Freund said he had no clue Izzo was there until one of his teammates told him right before player introductions.

“That was probably the coolest thing I have ever done,” Freund said. “During starting lineups, I was waiting to get announced and Nick Bellich walks over and says, ‘Tom Izzo is here,’ and I turned around. I didn’t even believe it but that was awesome.”

Although Freund might have got his picture taken, fellow senior Nick Higgin still was waiting after the game.

“I didn’t get my picture yet, but I think he’s looking for me,” Higgin joked.

Prairie Ridge coach Corky Card disagreed that the foul was intentional and eventually was assessed a technical foul. He received a second technical with 2 seconds remaining, although he did not swear at officials either time.

No. 3-seeded Jacobs (1713) ended up 30 for 40 from the line and will meet No. 5 Dundee-Crown (10-17) at 7 p.m. Friday in an all-District 300 regional championship game.

“We’ve been down before and we always fight back,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “You just have to relax and keep playing. The kids didn’t panic, they kept fighting, especially on the defensive end.”

Murray hit a 3-pointer with 5:26 remaining to cut Prairie Ridge’s lead to 38-36, then converted a 3-point play on Jacobs’ next possession for its first lead since early in the second quarter.

“That was a senior who just wanted to keep playing,” Roberts said. “Ben started getting going with toughness and competitiveness on the defensive end. He knocked down some huge shots.”

Orange hit two free throws with 1:56 remaining, then banked in a one-handed from 7 feet while falling backwards for a 43-42 lead.

The Eagles didn’t trail again.

“It was a really good game,” Orange said. “You have to give credit to those guys [Prairie Ridge], they’re great competitors. We just had to make some plays at the end.”

Bradshaw led the Wolves with 16 points in his final high school game and Ryan Gilbert, another senior, added nine.

“I’m really proud of how everybody played,” Gilbert said. “We laid it on the line and gave it all we could.

You have to be content with that. This was one of the best years of my life.”

Prairie Ridge pushed its 2-3 zone up to half-court to try and harass Orange with a double-team most of the game. Jacobs had difficulties finding an offensive rhythm against the Wolves’ defense, shooting 36.7 percent from the field and committing 10 first-half turnovers.

“Our kids played extremely hard and executed everything I asked them to do,” Card said. “They played outstanding.”

Card asked Roberts if he could speak to Jacobs’ players following the game for a few moments.

“I didn’t want what happened at the end to mar their victory,” Card said. “I wanted to make sure they knew I thought they played very well.”

Hester sprinting unscathed toward free agency

By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com If this is it – if Devin Hester has nothing but green grass between him and free agency – it’s easy to predict heartbreak, if not outrage, from Bears fans.

Perhaps the sport’s greatest return man ever, Hester has spent his career wowing Chicagoans. He returned the opening kickoff the 2007 Super Bowl 92 yards for a touchdown, a fastestto-ever-score-in-the-big-game record that stood until the Broncos’ laughable safety last month.

His departure this offseason, which looks more likely with each passing day, would enable Bears loyalists to list two likely Hall of Famers cast off in as many years.

Hester playing in a different colored uniform – pewter or cardinal or

otherwise – would stir a discontent fans never had to experience when linebacker Brian Urlacher retired last offseason rather than end his career somewhere else.

It would be strange.

But it wouldn’t be surprising.

The Bears certainly don’t want to match Hester’s $2.1 million salary from last season, not for a 31-year-old who contributes neither on offense nor defense.

At that price, on an 8-8 team, Hester’s singular skillset, as amazing as it might be, would be as useful as a maître d at McDonalds.

Reaching free agency – which starts Tuesday – doesn’t guarantee Hester’s departure from the Bears, but would allow him to better gauge his value in the marketplace.

Someone, somewhere likely would give him above the veteran

minimum. Would the Bears, who have plenty of defensive problems to throw money at, do the same?

The Bears haven’t prioritized Hester the way they have, say, fellow free-agent-to-be Charles Tillman.

Asked about the kick returner at the NFL Scouting Combine, Bears general manager Phil Emery Devin Hester gave a 14-word response that was complimentary, but not particularly gushing.

“He was productive,” Emery said.

“He was a productive kick returner.

He did a good job.”

He wasn’t wrong.

No one in the NFL logged more kickoff return yards last year than Hester’s career-high 1,436. Between the Bears’ porous defense and Hes-

ter’s confidence, he led the league with 52 kickoff returns; his 27.6-yard average was fifth-best.

Freed from playing receiver, Hester set a team record with 249 return yards in Week 2, and tied Deion Sanders’ career NFL record of 19 return scores – kicks, punts, interceptions and fumbles – with a punt return touchdown in Week 7.

Hester thought he broke it five weeks later, too, until his 62-yard punt return score was wiped out by Craig Steltz’s holding penalty in St. Louis.

As the season drew to a close, there was a sense from Hester and Bears’ special teamers that he wanted to break the mark wearing navy and orange.

Hester exploring free agency – an idea that gained national traction with an NFL.com report Tuesday – seemed likely in Week 17 when the Bears gave Saints practice-squadder

Suspended CB Browner reinstated by NFL Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner tweeted Tuesday that he was reinstated by the NFL after his suspension in December for violating the league’s policy on substance abuse.

Browner announced the news via a lengthy statement on his Twitter page. Browner was suspended indefinitely without pay by the league Dec. 18. The reinstatement will make Browner a free agent as his contract with the Seahawks ended after this season.

Browner’s agent, Peter Schaffer, also confirmed the reinstatement to the AP. “I now have the opportunity to prove to the fans and my teammates how important this sport is to me,” Browner wrote.

“I realize now more than ever that being part of the NFL is not a right, but a privilege.”

Once-calm witness cries at Pistorius murder trial PRETORIA, South Africa – For two days, the witness in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius kept her composure. Then, just as her testimony was about to finish, she broke down in tears at what she said was the memory of the screams she heard on the night that the double-amputee athlete fatally shot his girlfriend in his South African home.

Michelle Burger, a neighbor of Pistorius who took the stand on the second day of a trial, remained calm through intense questioning by the chief defense lawyer.

In a final exchange with the lead prosecutor on Tuesday, however, emotion washed over her as she recalled what she described as the terrified screams of a woman early on Valentine’s Day last year.

Canucks trade Luongo back to Panthers Roberto Luongo thought he was untradeable. The Panthers found a way to bring him back to Florida.

After nearly eight years apart, Luongo was the centerpiece of a four-player trade between Florida and the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. The Panthers sent goalie Jacob Markstrom and forward Shawn Matthias to the Canucks for Luongo and forward Steven Anthony.

Appeals court agrees to review Armstrong case AUSTIN, Texas – A Texas appeals court temporarily has blocked an arbitration panel from reviewing $12 million in bonuses paid to Lance Armstrong by a company that wants its money back, stopping efforts to force him to give new sworn testimony about his doping past.

SCA Promotions has sought to reopen a 2006 settlement paid to Armstrong since his 2013 admission to using performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career to win the Tour de France.

Chris Williams a three-year contract and a roster spot.

In 2012, he set a Canadian Football League record with six return touchdowns while playing for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. With the Montreal Alouettes, Bears coach Marc Trestman had an up-close view.

The Bears’ replacement for Hester, then, might already be in their locker room.

When the season ended, Hester said he wanted an answer about his future as soon as possible. He said he wanted to retire with the team.

“To all my true Chicago fans,” he wrote on Instagram in January, “it’s not up to me whether I stay.

“It’s up to the coaches and guys upstairs in the Chicago Bears front office.”

That remains true today, as Hester barrels toward what seems increasingly inevitable.

AVALANCHE 4, BLACKHAWKS 2

Hawks lose ground

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Two days after Christmas, Colorado Avalanche coach Patrick Roy stood outside the visitors’ dressing room at the United Center and ceded the Central Division to the Blackhawks, saying, “We know that Chicago is going to be on top. We don’t think we’re going t o b a t t l e Next with Chicago in the vs. Columbus, 7 standings.” p.m. Thursday, On TuesCSN, AM-720 day morning, Roy stood in the same spot, just three points out of first place, pleasantly surprised to be taking it back.

“Well, it’s a big surprise to me,” Roy said of the Avs’ surge. “I guess we didn’t expect to be where we are today.

If someone would say to me in September that we’d be three points behind the Hawks going into the last 21 games, I’d say, ‘Where do I sign?’”

After Tuesday night’s 4-2 victory over the Hawks, Col-

orado is now just one point back with a game in hand. Tyson Barrie’s power-play goal with 7:10 to go in the game sealed it, shortly after Jonathan Toews’ power-play goal had tied it. Ben Smith had the Hawks’ other goal, sand Semyon Varlamov made 36 saves in the win.

That the Hawks are fighting tooth and nail with the St. Louis Blues for Central supremacy isn’t a huge surprise.

That it’s suddenly a three-way race is. Unlike last season, when the Hawks coasted to the division title and the Presidents’ Trophy after their record 21-0-3 start, the final five weeks of the regular season are going to be decidedly more intense this time around.

In fact, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville pegged the Blues – who just added star goaltender Ryan Miller and agitating center Steve Ott – as the favorite to come out with the division title.

“We want to position ourselves, we want to finish as strong as we can,” he said.

“We’d love to be able to say we can win our division, but that’s going to be a challenge with St. Louis and [their] games in hand and where they’re at. And our division’s

going to be competitive with Colorado.”

Jonathan Toews wasn’t so quick to cede the division, but was more focused on making sure the Hawks are simply playing at their best by the time the playoffs start in midApril.

“Once the playoffs start, whatever happened during the regular season is pretty much forgotten,” he said.

Perhaps, but seeding definitely matters. Whoever wins the Central will get to avoid the other two division heavyweights in the first round (the current matchup would be the Minnesota Wild), and will have home-ice advantage for the second-round (with a monster Hawks-Blues showdown the likeliest scenario).

The Hawks have lost all three games against the Blues this season (two in shootouts), and have lost three of four against the Avalanche, so every possible advantage – and therefore every game – is significant.

“Everybody’s got incentive to get into a playoff spot,” Quenneville said. “There are going to be some very important games for our opponents, as well as ourselves. Should set up for a very meaningful stretch run.”

NEW YORK – The swarm of defenders the Bulls saw in the post during Monday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center wasn’t anything new for Taj Gibson.

Amidst the best offensive season of his career and by far his best stretch of the season, the Bulls reserve forward – albeit in name only – has seen multiple defenders rush his way when he gets the ball in the post.

And in the NBA that translates to one thing: respect.

“That’s why [coach Tom Thibodeau] wants me, when I go over stuff, I go Taj Gibson over stuff with him and coach Mike (Wilhelm), they want me to basically face up a lot more,” Gibson said. “We encourage the double team. We work on it a lot in practice. But now it’s so hidden because they snap back without me seeing.”

Over the past 10 games, Gibson is averaging 16.5 points a game. He is on a streak of 12 straight games scoring in double figures and has done so in 20 of the past 21 games.

As a starter, Gibson is averaging close to a double-double with 19.3 points and 9.8 rebounds a game.

But there’s another perspective to evaluating the evolution of Gibson’s offensive game.

Look at it defensively.

That’s the way Thibodeau does. The way he sees it, if Gibson has a guy one-on-one in the low post, the Bulls should look to get him the ball.

“His back to the basket, he can get a quality shot,” Thibodeau said. “He’s guarded sin-

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Joel Quenneville equated his versatility and ability to play well with others to Patrick Kane. Jonathan Toews equated his overall game to Marian Hossa.

So Brandon Saad’s big step up to the top line isn’t exactly a huge step down for the Blackhawks.

While nobody can replace Hossa – one of the best twoway forwards in the game and the league-leader in takeaways – the Hawks have the luxury of having Saad to slide into his spot while he recovers from an upper-body injury that is expected to sideline him two or three weeks.

“He gives us some versa-

tility, gives us a presence on the line that’s all of a sudden a threat to score, and makes people around him very dangerous,” Quenneville said of Saad. “He seems to adapt, no matter who he plays with, kind of like a Kaner. In the middle of the game [on Saturday] he just stepped right in there and did an outstanding job.”

Saad spent nearly his entire rookie season on the top line, skating on the left side with Toews and Hossa. Now, he’ll be on the right side with Patrick Sharp and Toews. He also assumed Hossa’s spot alongside Toews on the penalty kill.

“It’s huge to have depth on the team, especially because injuries are going to happen,” Saad said. “I think with the

team we have and the depth we have, it’s why we had success before. To be able to fill those roles, it’s a huge help to the team.”

Despite being moved around from line to line and wing to wing, Saad has 18 goals and 23 assists this year, and is second in the NHL with a plus-27 rating.

And the way Quenneville sees it, Saad’s only getting better.

“He has patience with the puck and [is] strong in the puck areas, and defensively responsible,” he said. “Hossa is extremely responsible. Saad is a work in progress in that way, but I think he’s trending toward being as defensively responsible as any player in the league.”

gle coverage; he’s going to get a good shot. And I think he’s really improved at reading the double team. (We’ve) gotten a lot of open 3s off the double team. He’s running the floor, he’s getting deep post ups, he’s also gotten comfortable facing up with the 17-footer in the pick-and-roll. So he’s scoring a lot of different ways. But his back to the basket I think he’s shown very good patience.”

For Gibson, Thibodeau said his offensive output is a direct product of his ability to get deeper post position. Simply put, the closer he is to the basket, the more difficult it is for the double team to get there.

“When you’re scoring the way he’s scoring, that’s why post depth is so important – to get it where it’s so deep that the help can’t get there, and I think he’s done a great job with that,” Thibodeau said.

Reading the double team has been just as important for Gibson.

Rightfully so, center Joakim Noah gets most of the credit for his ability to pass out of the post. The Bulls center is putting up historic assist numbers for a big man.

But that doesn’t mean Gibson hasn’t earned his due.

It might not reflect in his assist numbers, but as Thibodeau eluded, Gibson’s ability to hit the open man out of the double team creates open shots for the offense.

“It’s something you have to deal with,” Gibson said.

“Like coach said, the good players deal with double teams. I just have to adapt to make the right plays.”

Michigan grabs title with victory

Saad adds to Hawks’ versatility

at Detroit, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, CSN, AM-1000

The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Over the past couple of weeks, Illinois had used tough defense and 3-point shooting to win three straight and revive its postseason hopes.

The Illini had gone four straight games without letting an opponent score 50 points.

And they’d hit at least eight 3-pointers in each win.

On Tuesday night, No. 12 Michigan turned the tables on the Illini.

The Wolverines (22-7, 14-3 Big Ten) buried Illinois with 16 3-pointers on the way to an 84-53 blowout and the Big Ten championship.

Michigan shot 70 percent from 3-point range and hit 29 of its 51 shots from the field, 56.9 percent.

“He said he felt like he was throwing a golf ball in an ocean,” Groce said. “That’s what it was like tonight.”

Nik Stauskas scored 24 points, hitting a career-best seven 3 pointers. He said Michigan didn’t want to share the championship with anybody, something it did in 2012.

“We came with that mindset, this was our championship and we wanted to win it,” he said.

Dialed in or not, Michigan coach John Beilein said he didn’t see that kind of shooting performance coming against the Illini.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Castro a big fan of Baez

Flowers grateful for a 2nd chance

By GORDON WITTENMYER

Next

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Four years ago, when teenager Starlin Castro got to spring training as the next big shortstop prospect, incumbent Ryan Theriot threw down the nine-word gauntlet: “He’s going to have to come and get it.”

Barely two months later, he did.

Now Castro is the incumbent sidelined with a hamstring injury for the next week or more with the Cubs’ top-ranked, fast-rising prospect Javy Baez off to another strong spring start and nearing a big-league debut – raising eyebrows and cries from Chicago to Mesa to give the new kid a job out of camp.

Castro’s response to the potential drama: Let him play; there’s room for both shortstops in the Cubs’ lineup.

“To help the team win, if you’re there, and I’m there, whatever. I don’t care,” Castro said. “Some people don’t have a good relationship because they’re at the same position.

But me and him, no. … We’re good friends. We talk a lot.”

vs. Colorado, 2:05 p.m.

Wednesday Castro, who on Tuesday said the hamstring he hurt Sunday already is much better, has seen enough of Baez – and enough undermanned Cubs teams in his four bigleague seasons – to encourage the kid to get to the majors as quick as possible.

“I tell him, ‘Play hard and Starlin Castro you’ll be up there no matter what,’ ” Castro said. “ ‘I don’t know where, but you’ll be there, because you’ve got great talent and you play the game the right way.’ ” Castro has the luxury of knowing he doesn’t have to worry about a challenge to his position anytime soon. General manager Jed Hoyer said it the day camp opened, calling the idea of moving Castro from short, “off the table.”

Cubs officials also repeatedly have said Baez will open

the season at Triple-A Iowa, as the shortstop there.

“Obviously, for us the idea of Baez is in the future,” manager Rick Renteria said Tuesday. “So right now I’m glad Starlin feels that way, and I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

They both respect each other immensely. Somewhere down the road, when that happens, I’m sure it’ll be nice to see.”

The consensus opinion among evaluators – and, apparently, guys in the Cubs’ clubhouse – is that Baez’s much-anticipated debut is comJavy Baez ing this year.

“I don’t make that decision,” Castro said, “but that can be good for us, if he’s here.

He can hit, no doubt about it.

He’s a good player. Everybody knows that.”

Baez will see time at second and third before he’s done this spring, team officials said, and that likely will offer a blueprint for his eventual debut defensively.

Renteria said the kid whose bat speed has been compared to Gary Sheffield’s

still has adjustments to make with big-league-caliber offspeed stuff and work to do defensively.

Others who know the big leagues well, say give the kid a shot to prove he can’t do it.

“I’ve seen enough of Baez to enjoy watching him play,” veteran pitcher Jeff Samardzija said. “My thing about teammates is I like guys who put everything out on the field and leave it all out there – controlled reckless abandon, I guess you can say I like. And I see that in Baez. He plays with a chip on his shoulder. He has something to prove. I love watching that swing, too.”

Baez, 21, dismisses the socalled drama with Castro – “We need Castro on the team” – and downplays his desire to be in the big leagues on Opening Day. “I’ll be ready when they tell me,” he said.

The only two things for sure right now: Castro won’t need any more than 10 games this spring to be ready for the season, he said – “maybe eight games.”

And, regardless of Castro’s health, the Baez Buzz isn’t going away.

Lilly hired by Cubs as Epstein special assistant

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – At first glance, Ted Lilly’s hiring by the Cubs’ front office as a special assistant looks like a classic popular-ex-player-gets-acushy-retirement gig.

But general manager Jed Hoyer said, “He made it clear right away that he wanted to work and wants to get involved in scouting.”

And if that’s the case, veteran pitcher Jeff Samardzija – who knows Lilly better than anyone else in the clubhouse –

said Lilly could give the Cubs something often missing in today’s “advanced” player evaluations.

Lilly was an All-Star for the Cubs who won 15 and 17 games for the 2007-08 playoff teams, but Ted Lilly he probably is best remembered for moments such as the 2007 playoff game when he hurled his glove to the dirt after giving up a homer to Chris Young – or when he smashed a pipe

with a bat when the Cubs were eliminated in Los Angeles in 2008 and flooded the visiting dugout at Dodger Stadium.

Or that home plate collision in St. Louis during a pennant race that left catcher Yadier Molina writhing on the ground in pain while Lilly calmly got up and went to his dugout.

“That’s just an example of what it’s all about,” said Samardzija, who watched, impressed, from the dugout.

“Teddy loved to play baseball.

I think that goes overlooked

sometimes nowadays – what’s a guy’s passion for the game?

What does he bring to the game? How much does he want to leave it on the field?

“Teddy left it all out there.

Hopefully, he can take that and turn that into evaluation. More so than just tools and how hard a guy throws, what’s his makeup as a person and as a player? That’s always very important, and sometimes it’s overlooked – more so overlooked nowadays with all the numbers and computers that play into the game.”

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Tyler Flowers is grateful for his second chance. He knows the White Sox didn’t really owe him one after last season.

Handed the starting catcher’s job last spring, Flowers responded by hitting .195 with 10 home runs in 84 games in a season cut short by a right shoulder injury that had bothered him since the fall of 2012 and required surgery Tyler Flowers in September.

So there’s your built-in excuse: If you’re not healthy, you’re not going to be at your best. The other one is that the Sox’ dreadful hitting woes last season called even more attention to his lack of production, added pressure and caused Flowers, who had a track record of being a good hitter in the minors, to press.

But Flowers isn’t into playing the excuse card. He’s just happy to be the catcher to beat in a race with Josh Phegley and perhaps Adrian Nieto.

And he’s happy to be healthy again and hopeful that a more relaxed stance and approach will help him be the hitter he wants to be.

“I’m glad to be back, first of all,” Flowers said Tuesday.

“Glad to be back in a situation where I have a good opportunity to win a job. I can’t say I necessarily I expected it. I hoped for it.”

It’s no secret general manager Rick Hahn covets a longterm solution to the Sox’s catching situation. After freeagent Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees, Hahn looked around for top young catchers but couldn’t

vs. San Diego, 2:05 p.m. Wednesday

find a good match in a deal. For one thing, there aren’t a lot of good, young catchers. For another, Hahn thought Flowers was worth a second look.

So there you go, Flo. “Understandable either way from their position,” Flowers said. “I’m just glad to be feeling good. I feel like a new player, so to speak, when you don’t have to deal with significant pain.”

The Sox like the way Flowers, 28, calls a game, handles pitchers and thinks through pitching plans. They also think his blocking, receiving and throwing are adequate.

“He’s a guy that I trust the way he runs a game,” said bench coach Mark Parent, a former catcher. “I’ve said this before: If everyone else is hitting last year, we don’t worry about his offense as much and he doesn’t worry about it as much and he has a decent year.

Everyone starts looking at your weakest link, so to speak. It affected him behind the plate.”

Flowers had a rough day offensively Tuesday, going 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against the Cleveland Indians, but he likes the way he has felt at the plate this spring. He homered to center field against the Texas Rangers’ Neftali Feliz on Sunday and did so on a 2-2 count.

A new stance, which Flowers said took him a while to find, is more comfortable and keeps him in a better mental state to hit.

“Stance is kind of underrated,” he said. “There is a level of comfort for every guy in their stance, and it sets the stage for a guy in his at-bat, being comfortable in seeing the ball, being confident and relaxed.”

the

flow Homemade syrups elevate the breakfast routine

By NEVIN MARTELL The Washington Post

P

ancakes or waffles?”

That’s what my father asked me almost every Saturday morning of my childhood.

I usually voted for the pancakes.

They weren’t fancy: Dad simply added water, and sometimes an egg, to a few cups of Hansmann’s Mills buckwheat mix. If he was feeling particularly inspired, he would dot the griddled rounds with fresh blueberries or slivered strawberries.

But I didn’t care what he put in or on them. His pancakes were just an excuse for me to drown my plate in maple syrup (the real deal, not the fake stuff in the aunt-shaped bottle).

It’s been a long time since my father manned the stove and cooked me breakfast. The spatula has been passed, and I’m now cooking for my 1-year-old son, Zephyr. I wanted to share my family’s pancake tradition with him, but I didn’t want my flapjacks to come out of a box.

I didn’t want just any fromscratch pancake. I wanted a jackedup version of the pancakes I had as a kid. So I looked at recipes to get a general idea of ingredients and

ratios and then set to work playing around with types of flour. Ultimately, whole-wheat pastry flour came out on top of the stack by creating fluffy pancakes with a slight touch of grainy richness.

When it comes to the drizzling options, I wanted to take my pancakes to the next level with some housemade toppings.

The first of those was inspired by a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, where I tasted piloncillo, unrefined dark cane sugar that boasts a deep caramel flavor. For the second, I wanted the taste of coffee, and after some experimentation, I settled on instant coffee, which gave the syrup a jolt as robust as that of my favorite cup. For the third, I lightly reduced golden agave syrup with a bounty of fresh blueberries, then pureed the result with a little vanilla.

Soon it was time to test the recipes on more than my own palate. I griddled up a few silver-dollar pancakes for my son, drizzling each with a small spoonful of syrup. He gobbled and smashed each of them with equal enthusiasm: A family tradition was reborn.

Remove from the heat; cool until lukewarm, then stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth.

Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract and melted butter.

Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly incorporated.

Heat the oil on a griddle over medium-high heat, being

careful not to let it come to a smoking point; it’s ready when a few drops of water sizzle when flicked onto the griddle.

Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the griddle.

Girl who loves troubled boy Treating sleep apnea also can’t save him all by herself can lower blood pressure Dear Abby: My 13-year-old daughter, “Lizzie,” continues to talk to a 14-year-old boy who is very controlling and abusive to her. I made her stop talking to him, took away her cellphone privileges, and tried to show her how wrong he was for her and that she was going to wind up very hurt.

After recently giving her the cellphone back, I learned last night Lizzie has been talking to him and lying to me about it. He sent her a text saying if she didn’t answer his call within seven minutes, he was either going to shoot himself or cut himself. He included a picture of his arm with a knife held against it. She thinks her compliance is all that’s standing in the way of this boy killing himself.

I’m scared for her safety, but she won’t listen to me because she “loves” him.

When I called the boy’s mother about it, she became defensive and accused me of implying she was a bad mother. Please tell me how to handle this. – Worried Mom In North Carolina Dear Worried Mom: It’s time to have a nonconfrontational conversation with your daughter about the dynamics of emotional blackmail, because that’s exactly

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips what she’s experiencing.

Your daughter needs to realize the boy appears to have serious emotional problems, and as much as she may love him, she’s not equipped to help him or to prevent him from hurting himself if he really wants to.

As long as Lizzie sees herself as a hero who is saving his life by sacrificing hers, he won’t get the help he needs. So if she really cares about him – and I have no doubt she does – she will end the relationship because it isn’t a healthy one for either of them.

Dear Abby: A friend of mine, “Cameron,” has a problem. It’s his second year in college, and he’s still a virgin. He gave his heart to a girl in the past, and it left him bitter, emotionally unavailable and, unfortunately, unlaid. He is outspoken, but deep down he lacks confidence.

How can my friends and I help him, and how can he help himself? – His BFF In

person asking this question should be your friend Cameron. While the fact he may be “unlaid” and “unavailable” bothers you and your friends, it’s possible it doesn’t bother him.

If and when Cameron does tell you he is troubled by it, advise him to visit the student health center and discuss it with a counselor, because there may be complicated reasons for it. He doesn’t need help losing his virginity. But he may need help addressing his trust issues or he may always remain emotionally unavailable.

Dear Abby: How do you feel about young adults using the F-word in public? My sweetie, a mom of two, insists the word is becoming accepted. I am of the “old school,” and I maintain the word is tasteless and shouldn’t be used in public. What do you think?

– Keeping It Clean In Massa-

chusetts Dear Keeping It Clean: I think, regardless of age, the F-word should not be used in public – and if it’s used in private, it should be reserved only for “special occasions.”

California Dear BFF: You are well-meaning, but the

Dear Dr. K: I’m a snorer. I read recently treating snoring can affect blood pressure. Can you explain the connection?

Dear Reader: Severe snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. If you have OSA, then your breathing is blocked temporarily several (sometimes hundreds) of times a night. What happens is muscles in your upper airway (the back of the throat) relax too much. Normally, these muscles hold your airway open, so air moves in and out of your lungs without obstruction.

When your breathing is blocked, oxygen levels in your lungs and blood start falling.

Your brain sees this happening and causes adrenaline to surge into your bloodstream.

This stimulates the breathing center in your brain: It’s a “breathe now!” signal. You awaken briefly and gasp for air before falling back to sleep.

That’s bad enough. But surges of adrenaline also make your heart beat faster and raise your blood pressure.

As a result, your blood pressure swings up and down.

Some people have what’s called treatment-resistant hypertension. This is blood

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff pressure that remains high despite taking several blood pressure medications. It turns out many people with treatment-resistant hypertension also have OSA. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported treating OSA can help people with high blood pressure that’s difficult to control. In the study, researchers provided 12 weeks of the standard treatment for OSA to nearly 200 men and women with OSA and treatment-resistant hypertension.

The standard treatment was continuous positive airway pressure. With CPAP, you wear a mask that covers your nose. A small machine delivers continuous air pressure that prevents the collapse of your airway during sleep.

After 12 weeks of CPAP, average blood pressures were a few ticks lower. Study participants also had healthier nighttime blood pressure patterns. The improvements,

though modest, are still important.

Many people find CPAP uncomfortable. As a result, they use CPAP inconsistently or not at all.

The key is to find a mask you like. These days, you can choose from a variety of mask options, including nasal masks, full-face masks and twin tubes that deliver air to each nostril. If you don’t like the first mask you try, keep at it. You may have to try several different masks until you find one you can live – and sleep – with.

Given that we spend about a third of our entire lives asleep, it’s not surprising our sleep could affect our health. Many studies show getting enough good quality sleep on a regular basis brings many health benefits.

It protects against heart disease and diabetes, and perhaps against dementia as well. Sleep experts generally recommend an average of seven to eight hours of good quality sleep each night as the target to shoot for.

PLANITNORTHWEST / PlanitNorthwest.com

Don’t give up the Gras Traditional New Orleans dishes too good to relegate to one festival a year Mardi Gras has passed, but I thought it might be fun to cook up some New Orleans-style goodies featuring duck, andouille sausage and Creole seasoning. These rich ingredients are typical of the fare from the town that knows how to party.

And in this recipe, I’ve figured out a couple of ways for us to have our cake and eat it, too. It delivers big flavor without the usual complement of fat and calories.

We start with the star of this show, the breast of duck, a well-known fount of flavor that – depending on how you cook it – doesn’t have to be terribly heavy. I do recommend you sauté the breast with the skin on; that’s how to maximize its deliciousness and moistness.

But you can remove and discard the skin – along with most of the serious fat and calories – afterward. Duck meat without the skin is leaner than white meat chicken. And duck fat is not bad fat. Yes, some of it is saturated, but a large percentage of it is monoand poly-unsaturated, with the same properties, incredibly enough, as olive oil.

The duck and its sauce are brightened with homemade Creole seasoning, which has at least as much flavor, and significantly less salt, than many store-bought versions. My version is modeled on the spice mixes of two of New Orleans’ greatest chefs – Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse.

Spicy Sautéed Creole Duck Breasts Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (40 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 ounces andouille sausage, finely chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper 1/3 cup finely chopped celery 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning (purchased or use the recipe below), divided 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 1 cup chopped or crushed canned tomatoes (preferably fire roasted) 2 whole Peking duck breasts (4 halves, about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds) In a medium saucepan over medium, heat the oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a bowl, then return the pan to the heat and add the onion, bell pepper and celery.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of Creole spice mix (or more if you want a very spicy sauce) and the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add the chicken broth and toma-

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton toes, then bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until much of the liquid has reduced, about 20 minutes. Set aside.

While the sauce is simmering, using a very sharp knife, lightly score the skin on each duck breast half in a crisscross pattern, cutting well into but not entirely through the meat.

Pat the breasts dry and sprinkle them on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons Creole spice mix, making sure that the mix gets into the cracks of the scored skin. Let stand for 15 minutes.

In a large, cold skillet, place the duck breasts, skin side down. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until the skin looks very crispy, about 12 minutes. Do not pour off the fat; the liquid fat in the pan helps to render out the fat in the skin.

When the duck skin is crisp, transfer the breasts to a plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan. Return the duck to the skillet, skin side up, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the duck to a plate, skin side up.

Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Pour off any remaining fat in the skillet. Add the sauce and the browned sausage to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan. Add any juices that have collected on the plate the duck breasts are on.

Remove and discard the skin from the duck, if desired (separating it by slicing off the skin with a paring knife). Thinly slice the duck and arrange it on 6 serving plates. Spoon some of the sauce over each portion.

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press The sad fact of the matter is, most of us didn’t make it to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras. But that’s no reason to forsake some of the city’s classic cuisine.

Make jambalaya at home. It’s the perfect dish for out-oftowners; it’s easy, it’s weeknight- and kid-friendly, and it’s extremely versatile. Because while there are several basic

approaches to jambalaya – Creole and Cajun among them – there really are endless variations on this dish of rice, meat and seafood.

So we decided to put a local spin on jambalaya, with variations playing up ingredients drawn from New England, the Southwest and the West Coast. Just follow the base recipe, adding in the local ingredients of your choice. And don’t hesitate to mix and match. The beauty of a dish like this is that it will be delicious pretty much whichever direction you head.

Jambalaya Across The Country

seasonings use 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 cup frozen or canned corn kernels, 1 minced chipotle pepper plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo, and a 3.8-ounce can sliced black olives.

Omit the seafood and instead use a 15-ounce can of drained and rinsed black beans. Finish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.

Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 12 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 large yellow onions, diced 1 large green bell pepper, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 pound sausage (see below) 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces 2 cups crushed fire-roasted tomatoes Regional variation of vegetable and seasonings (see below) 2 cups long-grain white rice, such as basmati 2 quarts low-sodium chicken broth 3 bay leaves 1 pound seafood (see below) Salt and ground black pepper In a large Dutch oven, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high, heat the vegetable oil. Add the onions, green pepper, celery, red pepper flakes and sausage (see below).

Cook, stirring, until browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the chicken, tomatoes, vegetable and seasonings (see below), rice, chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Add the seafood and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through. Season

with salt and pepper. Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.

New England Variation: Use bulk breakfast-style sausage. For the vegetables and seasonings use 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced, and 1/2 bunch of Swiss chard, chopped. For the seafood, use lobster meat if available, otherwise use peeled

and deveined raw shrimp.

David McGrath of Crystal Lake works Tuesday to keep up with the demand for paczkis in the kitchen of Country Donuts in Crystal Lake. Paczki Day is typically celebrated annually by immigrants and locals alike. “We don’t really have a heavily Polish population around here. There are a lot of Polish people in the county, but the people just like the extra rich product we’re making for a couple days out of the year,” co-owner Scott Offord said.

Making dough Paczki Day brings big business to Crystal Lake bakery

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – In 1997, Country Donuts sold 35 dozen paczkis.

It was the first year the Crystal Lake bakery began selling the Polish treat, which is traditionally offered on Fat Tuesday and meant to use up all the sugar, eggs, fruit and lard in the house because their consumption is forbidden for Catholics during Lent.

“We thought [35 dozen] was a good and profitable thing to do,” said Larry Swanson, co-owner of Country Donuts. “The next year, we sold 100 dozen. The next year, we sold 200 dozen. And it’s just gotten bigger and bigger every year.”

This year, Country Donuts will sell 2,000 dozen paczkis, and if you waited until Tuesday to make your order, you were probably out of luck. “[Tuesday] we’re only accommodating pre-orders,” Swanson said.

“We’re sold out for our entire production all day long.”

The paczkis have become so popular that five years ago Swanson started selling the pastries Monday, and last year the doughnut shop even made them through Wednesday. Country Donuts has had bakers working 24 hours a day since Friday to accommodate the increase.

More than 900 people came into the bakery Monday, and another 1,000 were expected Tuesday, which has provided a big boost to business during an otherwise slow month.

“It’s a nice thing to have coming out of the winter doldrums,” co-owner Scott Offord said. “Generally after Christmas our business is pretty flat

Country Donuts co-owner Scott Offord makes paczkis Tuesday. for about three months. Traditionally bakeries are unprofitable during those first three months of the year.

We like this extra boost.”

Country Donuts’ recipe is richer than paczkis are traditionally made, which may be one reason why they are so popular at the Crystal Lake bakery, Offord said. They use extra butter, sugar and eggs, cook them in a soy bean oil, and fill them with a combination of homemade butter cream and a fruit or custard filling.

A traditional Polish paczki would have just a fruit or apricot filling, Offord said.

“We’ll do a week’s worth of business in two days,” he said. “Needless to say, we’re making payroll this week.”

Patty Miemczewski, an activity director at the Springs at Crystal Lake, bought two dozen paczkis Tuesday for the senior citizens at the

rehab center. She buys the paczkis every year and knew to put in the order last week.

“They love them. It’s a tradition,” she said. “[The paczkis] have a pop to them. They’re more doughy.”

The paczkis have been such a success that Country Donuts is again taking orders into Wednesday this year, and in the future the bakery may begin selling the treats the weekend leading up to Fat Tuesday.

And Swanson credits paczkis for making Country Donuts a household favorite across McHenry County.

“If we get 1,000 people in here today, probably 700 of them are new people who haven’t ever been here,” Swanson said. “Our reputation is expanding. We get people from Hebron.

We get people from Marengo. We get people from Hampshire. It isn’t just the people in town here who know us.”

The Associated Press NEW YORK – United Airlines is getting tough on passengers with oversized carry-on bags.

The Chicago-based airline has installed new bag-sizers at most airports. It also emailed its frequent fliers, reminding them of its rules on carry-on size. United says there is no change in policy – just a campaign to improve passenger awareness.

Some of United’s new sizers are located before security checkpoints. As of Saturday, employees contracted by the airline are sending passengers whose bag exceeds the dimensions for carry-ons back to the ticket counter, where they check the bag and pay a $25 fee. Airlines have traditionally asked people with oversized bags to check them at the gate, but waived the $25 fee at that point.

Some travelers are suggesting this is part of a larger attempt by United to collect more fees. The airline says it’s simply trying to speed up the boarding process.

The size limits on carry-on bags have been in place for years, but airlines have been inconsistent in enforcing them. Passengers are allowed one carry-on bag to fit in the overhead bin that needs to be 9 inches by 14 inches by 22 inches or smaller. They also can

CRYSTAL LAKE – A grand opening for the new Goodwill store, 1016 Central Park Drive, next to Walmart, will start at 9 a.m. March 27.

The store includes a 400-square-foot Community Room. Local groups and organizations can use the classroom-style space – which has seating for 30, Internet connectivity and audio visual equipment – for free.

It also will include a drivethru donation center that allows donors to more easily and quickly drop off their items without having to enter the store, according to a news release.

The store is open seven days a week: from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

“We are thrilled with the opportunity to serve the citizens of Crystal Lake and surrounding communities,” said Sam Schmitz, president of Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois.

“We look forward to collaborating with other nonprofits in the area to assist each other in meeting our respective missions. We also look forward to our long-term commitment to Crystal Lake.”

Groups of passengers wait at a United Airlines gate at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. In February, United Airlines installed new bag sizers at airports and emailed its frequent fliers, reminding them of its rules. bring along one personal item such as a purse or laptop bag that fits under the seat in front of them.

The process of getting on a plane dramatically changed in 2008 when U.S. airlines started charging $25 to check a suitcase. To avoid the fee, more passengers started bringing their suitcases – many of them overstuffed – into the airplane cabin. Suddenly there wasn’t enough room in

the overhead bins for everyone’s bag.

Although more United passengers may end up paying a $25 fee, having fewer bags on board also could have its benefits.

“I’ve been whacked more times than I can count by people loaded down with their life’s worldly possessions,” said Brian Kelly, an industry watcher who writes about flying trends at thepointsguy.com.

McHENRY – The Shah Center of McHenry County College is offering an OSHA 10-Hour Voluntary Compliance in General Industry facilitated

Ride out turbulence as a passenger and an investor If you’re like many travelers, you get a little nervous when your airplane goes through some turbulence. And if you’re like a lot of investors, you may get somewhat jumpy when the financial markets are volatile. Yet flight turbulence probably isn’t as scary as it seems, and the same may be true for market volatility – if you know how to respond.

Let’s look at some positive responses to market movements: • Don’t overreact to turbulence.

Turbulence happens on most flights, but passengers are well aware that they can’t bail out at 30,000 feet, so they generally don’t panic. As an investor, you also need to avoid panicky behavior – by not taking a time out from investing. Over a period of

vehicles, including stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit. You’ll want your investment mix to reflect your risk tolerance, goals and time horizon.

While this type of diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss, it can reduce the effects of turbulence on your portfolio.

Over time, your investments may shift, becoming too heavy in stocks or bonds relative to your objectives.

Consequently, you’ll need to periodically rebalance your portfolio to ensure it meets your needs.

• Match your transportation method with your goals. If you are flying from New York to Los Angeles, you may experience delays or some changes in the flight plan – but your goal is still to reach Los

FINANCE Steve Middaugh decades, if you were to miss a handful of the market’s best-performing days, your returns could be dramatically reduced. And the best days often follow some of the worst. So if you’re not invested, you could miss the beginning of a new rally, which is typically when the biggest gains occur.

• Balance your cargo. The ground crew properly positions an airplane’s cargo to maintain the plane’s center of gravity. When you invest, you also need to achieve balance by owning a variety of

Angeles as efficiently as possible.

Consequently, you wouldn’t scrap the idea of flying and head to L.A. on foot. When you invest, you will also encounter events that you feel may be slowing you down in your progress toward your long-term objectives. But if your objectives haven’t changed, neither should your “transportation method” of reaching them. In other words, don’t abandon your long-term strategy in favor of quick fixes, such as chasing after “hot” stocks that may not be suitable for your needs.

• Maintain perspective on your flight path. When you’ve flown, you’ve probably observed some of your fellow passengers sleeping through periods of turbulence. In the investment world, these types of people are

the ideal long-term investors – they know that turbulence, in the form of market fluctuations, is normal, because they’ve experienced it many times before. Their perspective isn’t on short-term events, such as volatility, but rather the achievement of their long-term goals.

So when you fly, fasten your seatbelt and relax. And when you invest, don’t overreact to short-term events.

By following these basic guidelines, you will be a calmer traveler and a better investor.

U.S. home prices rose at Stocks surge as tensions ease in Ukraine solid pace in January

By JOSHUA FREED The Associated Press

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. home prices rose in January after three months of declines as a tight supply of properties likely supported prices despite slower sales.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic said Tuesday that prices rose 0.9 percent in January after dipping 0.1 percent in December.

Over the past 12 months, home prices have risen 12 percent, the biggest year-overyear gain in more than eight years.

Such outsize price gains might not continue much longer, however. Paul Diggle, an economist at Capital Economics, notes that January’s price gains reflect conditions several months ago, when buyers first made offers. The supply of available homes was smaller than it is now, and it helped lift prices. The sales were completed in January.

Since then, more homes have come on the market while sales have slowed. That trend has modestly boosted the supply of homes and “points to a slowdown in price gains later this year,” Diggle said.

Diggle, like most other economists, foresees yearover-year price gains of be-

low 10 percent in the coming months.

CoreLogic’s price figures aren’t adjusted for seasonal patterns, such as winter weather, which can depress sales. Snowstorms and low temperatures contributed to a sharp drop in sales of existing homes in January. The National Association of Realtors said sales plunged to their lowest level in 18 months.

The harsh winter weather has discouraged many Americans from house-hunting. And the average rate on a 30-year mortgage is about a percentage point higher than it was last spring, which means buying costs have risen.

Those factors have weighed on the housing market. Economists think the housing recovery could pick up once the spring buying season begins, though likely at a slower pace than last year.

A measure of signed contracts was unchanged in February, a sign that sales won’t immediately recover from January’s sharp fall. Signed contracts usually lead to a finished sale in one to two months.

And builders broke ground on 16 percent fewer homes in January than in December, the government said last month. That was the second straight decline.

Relieved investors sent stocks sharply higher Tuesday after Russia pulled troops back from the border of Ukraine.

The rally pushed the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to an all-time high, erasing steep losses from Monday, when investors feared the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine would escalate or even lead to a war.

Traders were relieved when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops participating in military exercises near Ukraine to return to their bases.

The S&P 500 rose 28.18

points, or 1.53 percent, to close at 1,873.91. It was the biggest gain for the benchmark index since October.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 227.85 points, or 1.41 percent, to 16,395.88.

The Nasdaq composite rose 74.67 points, or 1.75 percent, to 4,351.97.

As investors moved back to riskier assets, prices fell for safe-play investments like bonds and gold. Oil prices also fell as the immediate threat of economic sanctions on Russia, a major oil exporter, eased.

Traders also had been worried about transportation disruptions in the Black Sea, a major transit point for oil. The yield on the 10-year

Treasury note rose to 2.68 percent from 2.60 percent late Monday.

In another sign of a greater appetite for risk, the Russell 2000 index of smallcompany stocks set another all-time high after posting the biggest percentage gains of the major U.S. stock indexes. The Russell jumped 32.29 points, or 2.7 percent, to 1,208.65. It is now up almost 3.9 percent this year.

The two-day rout and rally was just the latest twist in a volatile year for stocks, which fell almost 6 percent just last month and have since recovered to set alltime highs in recent days.

So what is an investor supposed to do in the face of

this volatility?

“I think maybe you take a powder. Maybe take some positions off the table, and you hedge yourself a little but, for the chance that if it does go the other way and there is a downturn,” said Stephen J. Carl, head equity trader at The Williams Capital Group.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine threatened to destabilize Europe and upset oil markets. And it wasn’t clear which countries might be drawn into the conflict if it got worse.

Wall Street hates uncertainty, and on Monday that’s all there was. So investors were relieved when Putin appeared to back down Tuesday.

the closings would leave the company with more than 4,000 U.S. stores. That’s still far more than Best Buy, which has about 1,400 U.S. locations, and makes RadioShack stores nearly as common as Wal-Mart stores.

RadioShack didn’t immediately identify which stores will close or how many jobs would be affected. A call to the company, based in Fort Worth, Texas, was not returned.

The closings represent just

the latest setback for RadioShack, which is fighting to update its image and compete with the rise of online and discount retailers.

Long known as a destination for batteries and obscure electronic parts, RadioShack has sought to remake itself as a specialist in wireless devices and accessories. But growth in the wireless business is slowing, as more people have smartphones and see fewer reasons to upgrade.

In addition to slashing costs and shuffling management, RadioShack has been renovating its stores with a more modern look.

“Since I joined the company, it has been clear we need to change the conversation about RadioShack,” Magnacca said during a call with analysts.

He pointed to the success of the company’s Super Bowl ad as an example.

8IN BRIEF RadioShack closing 1,100 stores as troubles grow NEW YORK – There will soon be about 1,100 fewer places to buy batteries.

RadioShack said Tuesday that it plans to close up to 1,100 stores, or about a fifth of its U.S. locations. The news came as the retailer reported a wider quarterly loss after a disappointing holiday season.

Its stock tumbled 16 percent in afternoon trading.

CEO Joseph Magnacca said

Sylvester Stallone said, “Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.”

That does not apply to this deal, where declarer needs to retain trump control for success, not failure.

West leads the diamond ace against six hearts. How should South continue?

The auction might have gone several ways. North chose to show both of his suits (three clubs was gameforcing), then jumped to ive hearts to try to highlight his diamond void and ask for good trumps. South’s threediamond cue-bid asked his partner to bid three no-trump with a diamond stopper. Then, over three spades, he gave preference to clubs. If North had now bid six clubs, he would have made that slam easily, taking three spades, three hearts and six clubs.

Also, North could have deduced that South held strong hearts when he did not bid three no-trump.

Declarer must resist the temptation of an overtrick. If hearts are breaking 3-2, South can take 16(!) tricks: three spades, ive hearts, six clubs and two diamond ruffs in the

dummy. But if South ruffs the opening lead on the board and tries to draw trumps by cashing two top hearts immediately, he will fail.

Instead, declarer should lead a trump from the board at trick two and play low from his hand. In that way, he retains a heart in the dummy to ruff another diamond, and he can then safely draw trumps before running the clubs.

Finally, note that if West had led his singleton spade, South probably would have failed. He would have needed mirrors to get home. The curious can work it out.
