Good morning, McHenry County ...

If you run, don’t quit before Election Day A story on page 6 explained Paul Serwatka was bowing out of the Republican primary to replace Rep. Mike Tryon in Illinois’ 66th House District. Tryon is not seeking re-election.

On page 58, as part of several pages of sample ballots, Serwatka appears atop a list of four candidates on the ballot for that same race.

Neither was a mistake (although you could argue that Serwatka’s candidacy was.)

Serwatka decided to drop out a week before Election Day and throw his support behind another candidate. Because ballots already are printed, his name still will appear as an option for voters.

Early voting began Feb. 29, so it’s likely

some unfortunate voters already have cast a ballot for Serwatka. Like it or not, they won’t get an opportunity to recast their vote for one of the three remaining candidates who decided to stick it out through Election Day. We appreciate when local residents step up and run for public office. It’s not easy, but make sure you’re going to be in it to the end if you do.

REDDING, Calif. – Northern California police have a real mystery on their hands.

A driver of a mini-van painted to resemble the “Mystery Machine” from the Scooby Doo cartoon series led Redding police on a high-speed chase reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph Sunday afternoon before giving her pursuers the slip.

Redding police are now searching for 51-year-old Sharon Kay Turman, who was wanted for alleged probation violations.

Police said Turman blew through several red lights, showing disregard for the safety of other motorists, prompting an end to the pursuit.

A California Highway Patrol helicopter pilot watched her abandon the vehicle.

A GROWING NETWORK

Local resources among support for parents home-schooling their children

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com Among the home-schooling community in McHenry County, the reasons behind the decisions are individualized and specific, but the people who have chosen that route of education are far from alone in the process.

For one family, the decision initially was based on finances. For another, it stemmed from disapproval of new state learning standards. A third mother said home-schooling allowed her the freedom to tailor her sons’ education.

A network of support

What they all have in common is

that they are part of a larger, very connected network of families in the area that have opted to keep their children home. In general, gone are the days where home-schooling families work independently of one another, especially given the amount of resources and support available, said Tammy Massey, a home-schooling mother in Carpentersville.

“I think it used to be more isolated when it was much less popular and well-known,” said Massey, who has home-schooled her two sons, Jordan, 14, and Tyler, 12, since the start of their education.

She was open to all formats of learning but ultimately decided on home-schooling because of the free-

dom it offered. Massey later joined a support group for home-schooling families, the Barrington-Area Home Schoolers, which is centered in the Crystal Lake area.

The group provides field trip opportunities, advice and general support.

Several similar groups also exist for families throughout the county, said Kathy Wentz of Johnsburg, who homeschooled her now-adult children and currently works as a volunteer for the Johnsburg Homeschool Resource Center at the Johnsburg Public Library.

“Today, home-school support groups are much more numerous and much more available to families than they used to be,” Wentz said.

“And today, we have libraries that

are prepared to meet the needs of the home-schooling community.

“When you have something available such as the [Homeschool Resource Center], it becomes so much easier and less expensive to homeschool. You can try hundreds of different types of curricula [and] borrow science equipment and math games.”

In her volunteer position, Wentz frequently meets with new home-schooling families to answer questions and connect them with these resources.

‘It grows every year’

The number of families that request to meet with Wentz has continued

McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuit plaintiff Lance Kuhns dies

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Lance Kuhns fought for 24 years against the tumor in his brain – a tumor that he blamed in court on pollution from a nearby chemical plant.

Kuhns, one of the plaintiffs in the McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuits, lost his battle and died last Wednesday in the comfort of his Crystal Lake home, surrounded by family. He was 61.

“Lance wanted to die in his own condo, in his own bed. He got his wish, his prayer,” said Ann Kuhns, his mother.

Lance Kuhns, the oldest of six children, grew up in the Lakeland Park subdivision on the McHenry side of the lake.

He was one of 33 people who sued the Rohm and Haas specialty chemical plant in neighboring Ringwood, alleging that decades of air and groundwater contamination from the plant caused a cluster of brain and pituitary tumors in the McCullom Lake area.

He was an only child for years before his two brothers and three sisters joined him in quick succession. He was a good son who helped take in the groceries and change diapers, his mother said.

Lance Kuhns was extremely artistically inclined, and his home reflected it,

said his sister, Wendy. His arts and crafts projects were sought-after gifts.

“He was very artistic and creative. He would buy me paint sets for Christmas – he wanted me to get into it. I never really did because he was so much better at it.

He could have opened his own craft store, all the crafts he made,” she said.

Doctors diagnosed him in 1993 with oligodendroglioma, a brain tumor so rare that it should appear only once in a population of 300,000 like McHenry County. He had his first of three surgeries at age 39.

The first three lawsuits were filed in April 2006 by three McCullom Lake nextdoor neighbors who contracted brain cancer within a short period of time. Two of them had the same rare tumor. Lance’s sister, Holly Furst, called him, told him about the lawsuits and advised him to get involved.

Rohm and Haas, now owned by Dow Chemical Co., has acknowledged that decades of dumping into an unlined pit by the plant’s former owners created a plume of groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds.

But the company steadfastly has denied that contaminated water or air reached or sickened residents. Past and present owners of the plant have been working for the past two decades to clean

up the contamination plume.

Lance Kuhns relapsed in 2007 and required a second surgery – one that left a softball-sized dent in his head that he would cover up with a toupee and a hat.

Eldest sister Holly Furst said even then he thought of other people first.

When he would go to his chemotherapy appointments, he always would insist that people who appeared in worse shape go before him.

Lance Kuhns lived to see Dow settle the case out of court in 2014 for undisclosed amounts, but his condition worsened. He suffered another relapse in 2013, requiring his third and final surgery.

This relapse cost him his mobility, and his brother, Todd, moved in with him to help take care of him. Every brother and sister chipped in with specific tasks assigned by Lance – always playing the role of eldest brother, sister Jill Kuhns said. He had been bedridden since last Christmas.

Furst said her brother’s deep faith helped him through.

“He just had faith in God for everything he was going through, and put it in God’s hands. He never asked, ‘God, why me?’ He just accepted,” Furst said.

At least 14 of the McCullom Lake brain cancer plaintiffs are deceased.

IMRF asks for proof of McHenry County Board’s work hours

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund is giving the McHenry County Board a month to prove that its members are working the 1,000 hours a year necessary to qualify for a pension.

In a Monday letter to the County Board, IMRF Director Louis Kosiba asked the county’s human resources director to provide evidence of hours worked, such as attendance logs, calendars and meeting times of the full board and its committees.

Kosiba asked for records from all of 2015 and 2016 to date, and gave the county an April 4 deadline.

The IMRF last year began looking into the County Board’s participation

in the pension program, acting on a tip from a local labor union that members were not meeting the requirement.

The county sent affidavits last summer from 18 of its 24 members, which satisfied IMRF until state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, approached the fund earlier this year with the same concern.

All but four County Board members are enrolled in IMRF through the county. But the IMRF’s policy manual states that people elected to county, township and municipal boards that have chosen the 1,000-hour threshold likely will not qualify for pensions, “barring highly unusual circumstances.”

Providing documentation for time spent besides the meeting room could

present a challenge. Board members under IMRF rules can count hours spent on preparing for meetings, meeting with constituents and employees, and attendance at civic functions in an official capacity.

Time spent commuting to meetings or being “on call” for constituents cannot be counted. One thousand hours a year adds up to 20 hours a week for 50 weeks.

In a related issue, Franks last week asked State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the issue and whether any crime is being committed. Defrauding IMRF is a Class 3 felony.

The state’s attorney’s office acts as the County Board’s legal counsel, so investigating it on its own would constitute a conflict of interest.

VIEWS Joan Oliver there is; 63 percent of rapes are not reported to police, according to a U.S. Department of Justice report.

Often, because the victim knows the attacker, there is a reluctance to go to police, whether it is because of fear or shame, or both.

Lady Gaga was up for an Academy Award for the song “Til it Happens to You,” a song she co-wrote with Diane Warren for the 2015 documentary “The Hunting Ground,” which dealt with the problem of rape on college campuses.

On college campuses, a whopping 90 percent of rapes are not reported, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

In the song, Lady Gaga speaks to the platitudes that often are thrown at sexual assault victims, such as “It gets better in time,” “Hold your head up” and “You’ll be fine.”

The reality is that the pain and scars often aren’t that easily dismissed and overcome.

Lady Gaga’s performance at the Oscars delivered that powerful message with a depth of feeling that brought many to tears even before other victims joined her on stage in a show of solidarity.

Kesha, meanwhile, has accused her longtime producer, Dr. Luke, of sexual assault and sexual harassment, among other things. She is seeking to dissolve her contracts with the producer.

A judge last month denied an injunction that would have allowed Kesha to record music apart from Dr. Luke and her current label, Sony.

Essentially, Kesha wants the ability to free herself from her abuser. Dr. Luke, meanwhile, has denied all of Kesha’s accusations.

Perhaps the world is better off not having new Kesha music, but that, of course, is not the point. All of us have the right to make our livings without the threat of sexual assault and sexual harassment, whether female or male, whether famous or not.

That’s why I admire Lady Gaga and Kesha for standing up and bringing this important issue out into the open.

They – and all sexual assault victims – are not alone.

Pop artists Lady Gaga and Kesha share a penchant for outrageous performances and the desire to shock audiences. (A meat dress? Brushing one’s teeth with a bottle of Jack?)

That may or may not be your cup of tea; it certainly isn’t mine. However, this isn’t a column about music.

Lady Gaga and Kesha also have something in common that is far more important and tragic: They both say they are victims of sexual assault.

That two well-known figures in pop music are willing to share their stories shows the nightmarish scope of the problem. It truly can happen to anyone, anywhere.

Statistics bear that out. One in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

One in five.

Nearly one in 10 women has been raped by an intimate partner in her lifetime, and in eight out of 10 cases of rape, the victims knew the person who sexually assaulted them, according to the resource center.

Still, rape is one of the most underreported crimes

KTM Motocross team has equipment stolen

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The motocross team sponsored by Woodstock KTM ended its weekend competition with two riders on the podium, despite the team’s van, trailer, bikes and other supplies being stolen early Friday.

Kurt Jennison, general manager at Woodstock KTM, said about $100,000 worth of equipment was stolen when the team was parked in Carter Lake, Iowa, outside of Omaha, for the AMSOIL Arenacross series.

Since then, news of the theft has spread through social media, and the sharing of the team’s Facebook post led to the group finding its trailer and van, Jennison said.

Four racing bikes, each worth about $10,000, and other parts still are missing, however, he said. When Jennison heard the news Saturday, he drove down to Omaha to bring the team bikes from the Woodstock shop so it could finish the competition.

“We were taken back quite a bit,” Jennison said. “It’s very frustrating. I

LOCAL BRIEF McHenry-area crash sends 4 to the hospital, fire official says

McHENRY – A two-vehicle crash just outside McHenry sent four people to the hospital Tuesday, a fire official said.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Dave Harwood said the department responded about 6:30 p.m. to Charles J. Miller Memorial Highway and South River Road.

Two vehicles were in the intersection with heavy damage when crews arrived, he said, and it was unclear what direction they were traveling.

Each vehicle had two occupants, and all were sent to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Harwood said. He said two adults and two teenagers were transported.

The intersection was closed for about 30 minutes, and both vehicles were towed, Harwood said.

He said the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also responded, but the sheriff’s office could not immediately be reached for comment.

think everybody was kind of in a lost state of mind trying to put all the pieces together.”

Jennison said the team is thankful for its “moto family,” which has stepped up and helped share the group’s social media posts and GoFundMe page.

The team still is struggling, Jennison said, but will continue to the next stop of the competition Saturday in Lafayette, Louisiana.

“We’re going to keep moving forward for sure, but any additional support we can get going forward would be appreciated,” Jennison said.

The team has been competing in the series for four years, Jennison said.

Members include Travis Sewell, Westville, Indiana; Cody Vanbuskirk, Harvard; Scott Zont, Algonquin; and Erik Utech, Woodstock.

In the Omaha competition, Sewell placed fourth, Vanbuskirk placed sixth and Zont placed 14th in the Premier Class. In the Lites Class, Vanbuskirk placed first and Zont third.

Village Board to vote on contractor for ash tree replacement program “While Apex is not the lowest average cost per tree, they’ve offered a wide variety ...”

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – The village is beginning preparations for its annual ash tree replacement program, with the Village Board expected to vote on a contractor at its meeting Thursday.

Village Management Assistant Barb Read recommended Apex Landscaping Inc. of Hawthorn Woods as the contractor for this year’s program at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

The group offered the second lowest overall average cost per tree out of four bidders, estimating each tree at $384.

“While Apex is not the lowest average cost per tree, they’ve offered a wide variety of different types of trees and sizes, and that was asked of the bidders as well,” Read said last week.

“We have so many trees that need to be replaced in the next couple of years, and it would be nice to have a variety.”

The annual program replaces hundreds of trees infested by the emerald ash borer beetle. According to previ-

Barb Read

Village management assistant ous Northwest Herald reporting, the village began removing trees in 2009, and the beetles’ infestation peaked in 2012.

The village is anticipating 400 trees to be replaced this year, and $75,000 has been budgeted for the program from the Street Improvement Fund.

The price per tree includes the excavation and removal of unnecessary soil, installation of trees and mulch on the sites, debris cleanup and initial watering. Read said forms for the program will be sent out this month to homeowners who have had trees removed, and trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and planted in May.

“IDOT processes everything.

We look at who all the bidders were and the apparent low bidder. ... All the city does is say, ‘We concur,’ so they can move forward on awarding the bid.”

Abigail Wilgreen

Crystal Lake city engineer Renwick’s services. An appropriation of $65,700 was approved during the most recent City Council meeting, and council documents show any funds left over will be returned to the city’s reserves after the project’s completion.

The construction will be funded using $250,000 of federal funds awarded by the Safe Routes to School program in 2012, along with motor fuel tax dol-

lars allocated to the project.

The concept is a product of the city’s 2009 exploration of how to improve safety for students walking and biking to school. In collaboration with Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 and representatives of parent and advocacy groups, city officials decided on a pedestrian path on the south side of Country Club Road.

“The city moved forward with this path because it really provides that link from neighborhoods in this area to South Elementary,” Wilgreen said.

“It’s a safe, off-street path, and really, in general, a lot of people walk on Country Club Road.”

She said the city at this point is waiting to see whether the construction bid is awarded by IDOT, which has 45 days from the day of the bid opening to do so. If it is awarded, Crystal Lake can begin working with the contractor.

Construction is expected to begin in late spring or early summer.

LOCAL BRIEFS Hebron-area crash sends man to hospital, fire official says

HEBRON – A two-vehicle crash outside Hebron sent a man to the hospital Tuesday, a fire official said.

Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District responded about 6:40 p.m. to Alden Road near O’Brien Road, Chief Scott Mullis said.

Mullis said a sedan and pickup truck were traveling in opposite directions on Alden Road when the sedan crossed the center line and struck the back of the pickup truck.

The driver of the sedan was taken to Mercy Harvard Hospital with injuries that

were not considered life-threatening, Mullis said. He said the driver and passenger in the pickup truck were not injured.

Both vehicles were towed, and Alden Road was closed temporarily, Mullis said.

Mullis did not have more information on what caused the crash or the people involved. He said the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also responded, but the sheriff’s office could not immediately be reached for comment.

Carpentersville Fire Department Battalion Chief Bob Beattie said the department responded to the scene about 3:50 p.m.

The girl fell from a 25-foot bridge over a path in the woods, Beattie said.

Chief of Police Mike Gilloffo said the fall was accidental. The girl, from West Dundee, was on a bridge that is not meant for public use, he said.

Gilloffo said the girl had a couple of broken bones, and her injuries were not considered life-threatening. There was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the fall, he said.

Officials were able to reach the girl after friends found her and called an ambulance, Gilloffo said.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A project to build a safe path between neighborhoods on the southwest side of Crystal Lake and local schools is a couple of steps closer to fruition after recent developments.

The City Council last week voted unanimously to award a proposal to Elgin-based Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick Inc. to oversee phase three of the project. Member Ralph Dawson was absent.

The path will be built along Country Club Road to connect the Wedgewood subdivision and South Elementary School. It also will provide a path to Lundahl Middle School, the Dole Mansion/Lakeside and Main Beach, council documents said.

Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick was one of two consulting firms to respond to the city’s request for qualifications and proposal, which was sent to 15 en-

gineering firms, documents said.

Based on a review by the city’s engineering division, it was found to have the highest number of qualification points, as well as the lowest cost of $59,734.

In addition, bids for construction of the project on Friday were opened by the Illinois Department of Transportation. IDOT is handling the bidding process because the project is partially being funded with federal grant dollars, Crystal Lake City Engineer Abigail Wilgreen said.

“IDOT processes everything,” Wilgreen said. “We look at who all the bidders were and the apparent low bidder. ... All the city does is say, ‘We concur,’ so they can move forward on awarding the bid.”

The apparent low bidder is listed as Addison-based Pir Tano Construction Company Inc. for $573,000, according to the IDOT procurement page.

Motor fuel tax dollars will cover the cost of Hampton, Lenzini and

to increase over the years, she said, estimating that she meets with six or seven new families a month. However, she noted that not all are from the McHenry County area.

Nationwide, the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education show there were an estimated 1.8 million home-schooled students in the spring of 2011, up from 1.5 million in spring 2007.

Locally, there is no definite count of home-schooled students, but in at least the Barrington-Area group, the number of families seeking resources is up, said Massey, the membership coordinator.

“It’s around 175 families that I have registered right now,” she said.

“I think when I first started [six or seven years ago] it was still over 100, but more like 130.”

‘A free state’

One of the more recent home-schoolers in the area, Erin Carey of Woodstock, made the decision to keep two of her five daughters at home because of the new Common Core State Standards. They have been home-schooled now for about seven months.

“The great thing about the state of Illinois is it’s a free state,” Carey said, adding that means home-schooled families do not live by the same set of requirements that public school families do.

In Illinois, home-schooled students are considered part of the “private school” category, and while certain subjects must be covered, there essentially is no state intervention.

According to Illinois State Board of Education information, there are no requirements for registering students as home-schoolers, the hours of instruction per day or testing.

For Carey, the independence from the state has meant spending as much time as she wants on subjects her daughters might struggle with, as

Mom and teacher Erin Carey checks the directions for her daughters, 10-year-old Kierstin (left) and 8-year-old Kendell, while they work on creating a working circuit from a kit at their home in Woodstock. Kierstin’s favorite subject is science; Kendell likes math.

Barrington-Area Home Schoolers membership coordinator well as being able to get creative with lessons.

From a big-picture standpoint, however, McHenry County Truancy Officer Bob Diviacchi of the Regional Office of Education said the lack of requirements could be troublesome in certain situations.

Since he started in September 2012,

he’s received roughly 40 complaints from various sources alleging that home-schooled students are not receiving a proper education. But none of the complaints Diviacchi has received have ever been petitioned in court after parents or guardians have produced proof of schooling – books, workbooks, curriculum, etc.

Even without proof, however, Diviacchi said it would be hard to prosecute a case because of the state’s loose standards.

Massey said it’s up to each individual family to make sure they’re doing their due diligence – she records her kids’ lessons as a precaution – but providing a quality education also comes back to the vast network of families in the area.

Talking to other parents dedicated to their child’s learning can be helpful when it comes to gauging progress and effectiveness, Massey said, adding, “Those are kind of the subtle pieces [of networking] that you don’t think about, but they definitely help.”

Leprechaun Plunge to benefit Operation Click CRYSTAL LAKE – A group of safe-driving advocates is inviting residents to take a frigid dip with an Irish twist this Saturday.

Operation Click, a local nonprofit that promotes safe driving among teens, will host the inaugural Leprechaun Plunge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Three Oaks Recreation Area, 5517 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

President and Crystal Lake police Officer Sean McGrath said the fundraiser will help the group give away eight cars to licensed students who signed safe-driving contracts at the start of the school year.

The cost to plunge is $35 and includes a meal and a T-shirt. Participants can

register online or at the event.

“Anyone who plunges gets corned beef, cabbage and Irish soda bread,” McGrath said. “And there will probably be a leprechaun running around.”

Spectators can pay $10 for a meal, and parking is free. Bag pipers will perform during the event.

The event will add to the roughly $2,000 McGrath said the all-volunteer group raises through an annual 5K in the fall.

McGrath said the group opted for a “plunge” event because of their popularity. But the Crystal Lake event will be a little different than those earlier in the year, as the National Weather Service is calling for temperatures to be a balmy 56 degrees on Saturday.

Senior housing project on track for fall opening

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – After a mild winter of construction, the Clarendale of Algonquin senior housing project still is on track for a fall opening, developer Dave Erickson of Ryan Companies said.

The company announced Tuesday the $40 million, 186-unit project now is fully enclosed. Erickson said work will continue both inside and outside the building at 2001 W. Algonquin Road, aided by the unseasonably warm spring weather.

“We’re installing a lot of exterior materials now,” Erickson said. “This upcoming spring and summer we’re going to start installing landscaping, and we’ve been able to make a lot of progress inside the building.”

Erickson said the company recently chose an executive director for the property, whose name will be announced soon. Ryan Companies will collaborate with Life Care Services of Des Moines, Iowa, to begin hiring for about 75 other positions.

“The range of jobs we’ll be hiring for

This rendering from PFB Architects shows the projected outside view of the Clarendale of Algonquin senior living community. ranges from management level to sales, to director of nursing to head chef,” Erickson said. “We’ll also be looking for [registered nurses], nurses’ aides and housekeeping. There’s a nice variety of jobs coming to the market on this property.”

The building has seen interest from potential residents, and Erickson said the company is compiling a list of those

interested, with rooms still available.

Clarendale of Algonquin will include 76 independent living units and 56 assisted living units, with a variety of unit configurations based on the type of care.

The company also has added two new amenities to its original plan based on feedback from the first Clarendale project in Mokena: a movie the-

ater room and crafts room.

Other amenities will include a bistro, pub and billiards room, club room and library, wellness center with a full-service salon, fitness room, and private patio and courtroom.

Shocks and struts SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker

adno=0339815

Roller coasters, ATVs and jet skis can provide bumpy rides, but that’s all part of the thrill and excitement that the rider is seeking.

For those who are commuting to work or school, running errands or enjoying long drives during weekend getaways, anything less than smooth sailing will result in frustration.

Whether you’re enjoying a slow ride on a Sunday in the country or rushing off to an appointment, the condition of the shocks and struts of your vehicle will determine if your ride is a smooth one or if comparable to bull riding.

Fully functioning shocks and struts will maintain the balance and stability of your vehicle as you drive.

There are numerous warning signs that may signal that shock absorbers need replacement. Excessive wear and tear obviously is going to make

your car vulnerable.

Does your vehicle bottom out when driving over speed bumps or railroad tracks? Does it make unusual noises when you drive over bumps?

Does it roll or sway on turns? Does the rear end of your vehicle squat when you accelerate? Does the front end dive when you’re braking?

If you just found yourself answering “yes” to any of these questions, then you should take the time to schedule an appointment with a qualified, professional mechanic, such as the expert technicians at Gary Lang Auto Group.

They’ll be able to put your vehicle on a lift to get a great view of what’s going on underneath. Some vehicle owners will ask the mechanic to check the condition of their shocks and struts at the same time that their tires are rotated.

Most manufacturers agree that shocks and struts won’t need replacing until you reach 50,000 to 60,000 miles, but again that can vary depending on the kind of driving you do and where you do it.

Linda was born in Woodstock, on Aug. 24, 1943, to Clarence L. and Kathryn (McKnight) Roush.

Mrs. Havens grew up in Woodstock, where she had fond memories of horses, dogs, pet pigs and family vacations to the family cabin in Birchwood, Wisconsin. She always surrounded herself with people and laughter. After graduation from Woodstock High School in 1961, she went to work at Oak Industries in Crystal Lake.

She also was a pharmacy tech at the Woodstock Memorial Hospital.

CHICAGO – Dr. Quentin Young, a longtime health advocate who served as a personal physician to Martin Luther King during the civil rights leader’s stay in Chicago, died Monday at age 92.

Young died of natural causes at the home of his daughter, Polly Young, in Berkeley, California, she said Tuesday.

A former president of Physicians for a National Health Program, Young pushed for decades to promote single-payer national health insurance.

Before that, the Chicago native worked to desegregate Chicago hospitals in the 1950s and marched with civil rights

being very appalled by that as a little child.”

Margie Schaps shared an office with Young at the Chicago-based Health & Medicine Policy Research Group, an organization Young founded and where he worked until 2014.

“There was never a rally too small, never an injustice that didn’t deserve him speaking out on it,” Schaps said. “I sat side by side with him for 20 years.

We planned and plotted and organized and strategized every day.”

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle called him “a relentless advocate of fairness and justice for all citizens,” noting he was a past chairman of the department of internal medicine at Cook County Hospital.

Young also was a past president of the American Public Health Association.

“His life’s work was transformative, meaningful and contributed to a healthier world for us all,” said Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.

Young founded the Medical Committee for Human Rights, a group of health professionals who provided medical care during the civil rights and anti-war protests of the 1960s.

He served as personal physician to Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and author Studs Terkel, and also was former Gov. Pat Quinn’s doctor, becoming his adviser and friend.

Rauner: ‘Outrageous’ House is off until April

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner admonished Democratic Speaker Michael Madigan on Tuesday over the House calendar, calling it “outrageous” that legislators in the chamber aren’t due to return until April 4 despite an Illinois budget stalemate now in its ninth month.

Rauner’s tongue-lashing of Madigan is the second in as many weeks as both state leaders continue an epic standoff over a budget that should’ve taken effect July 1 and neither man is budging. Rauner wants pro-business, union-weakening legislation he argues will attract more business to the state, while Madigan has described the governor’s Michael proposals as extreme at- Madigan tacks on the middle class.

Rauner on Tuesday repeatedly characterized the House’s leave from the statehouse as a vacation.

“It’s wrong, they should get back here and do their jobs,” he told reporters in his office at the Capitol.

Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said the schedule was posted long ago and that Rauner had mischaracterized it as a vacation. He also criticized Rauner for spending Monday campaigning for Illinois Republican U.S. Rep. John Shimkus.

“Apparently he woke up, I guess this morning, because yesterday he was out campaigning, woke up this morning and looked at the legislative schedule that’s been published for three or four months

and decided to come out and make a lot of baseless comments,” Brown said.

While the House is off, the Senate is in session for three days this week.

Rauner said the House not being in session highlights a “stunning failure on the part of Speaker Madigan and his caucus in the House.”

The back-and-forth sniping underscores how the acrimony between Rauner and Madigan has only grown in the weeks before high-stakes legislative primaries on March 15. Madigan is among the legislators facing a challenge.

Last week, Rauner accused Madigan of playing political games instead of working with Republicans to pass legislation to fund higher-education institutions and social service programs that have suffered during the budget impasse.

Those comments came before Madigan and his House colleagues passed two pieces of legislation that together would earmark $3.7 billion for colleges, tuition assistance for low-income students and fund various human service programs.

Democrats labeled their idea a compromise – to the annoyance of Republicans who said they weren’t consulted – because it includes forgiving the repayment of $454 million in special state funds. Democrats point out the governor is on board with that to help fund colleges.

But the governor’s office said the two bills Democrats passed are linked and will put Illinois further in debt because the state is currently spending at a deficit without a budget. It’s unclear when the Senate will take up the legislation, but Rauner already has indicated he intends to veto the plan.

Man charged in 9-year-old boy’s shooting death

CHICAGO – A Chicago man initially planned to cut the fingers and ears off the 9-year-old son of a member of a rival gang but ended up luring the boy into an alley with the promise of a juice box and shooting him dead, authorities said Tuesday.

Dwright Boone-Doty, 22, was charged Monday in the Nov. 2 killing of Tyshawn Lee. He has been jailed since a November arrest on Dwright unrelated gun charges.

Boone-Doty Prosecutors also charged him with shooting two people about two weeks earlier, including a 19-yearold woman who died from her wounds.

Authorities said revenge also was the motive in that attack, which the 20-yearold male victim survived.

Tyshawn Lee was one of 400 homicide victims in Chicago last year, but the fourth-grader’s death shocked the city because, according to police, he was killed for no other reason than to punish his father.

Lawmakers seek to expand concealed carry law

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois legislators from both parties are continuing to fine-tune the state’s concealed carry law nearly three years after it was passed.

Legislators have proposed including public transportation, courthouses, interstate highway rest areas, public parks and athletic facilities as areas in which permit holders are allowed to carry a concealed weapon, the State Journal-Register reported.

In July 2013, Illinois became the last state to pass a concealed carry law.

Since then, there have been some changes to the law, but none regarding the areas where concealed carry is allowed.

GOP group: Tweet about Duckworth was a mistake

CHICAGO – The National Republican Senatorial Committee briefly posted a tweet Tuesday that said a Democratic candidate from Illinois who lost both legs

as an Army helicopter pilot “has a sad record of not standing up” for veterans.

NRSC spokeswoman Andrea Bozek acknowledged the tweet about U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth was a mistake that was deleted “within minutes.”

“It would be great if reporters would pay as much attention to a deleted tweet as they should” to other issues in the race, she added in an emailed statement.

The tweet was recirculated on social media and appeared on political blogs.

Duckworth’s campaign noted it as a “disgraceful attack” in an afternoon email soliciting campaign donations.

Bill Clinton campaigns for wife in Chicago suburb

EVANSTON – Former President Bill Clinton is recalling fond memories of meeting his wife over four decades ago and said the now-Democratic presidential front-runner is the “change-maker” the nation needs.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Clinton spoke to a crowd of hundreds on Tuesday in the Chicago suburb of Evanston. He said he first met Hillary Clinton 45 years ago this month and was “just blown away” by her sense of what was needed to get things done.

He said the country is full of instability and uncertainty, from climate change to racism, and the most important reason to vote for her is that the country can’t wait any longer.

The newspaper reported that earlier Tuesday he stopped at a Chicago soul food cafe with U.S. Rep. Danny Davis.

City firefighters rescue 1 from flea market blaze

CHICAGO – Fire officials fighting a massive blaze at a two-blocklong flea market building in Chicago said they rescued one person as the fire belched large plumes of black smoke into the sky.

The Chicago Fire Department said there were no reports of injuries in the fire that broke out just before 10 a.m.

Tuesday at Buyer’s Flea Market on the West Side. Fire officials said they believe no one else was trapped inside.

About two hours after the fire started, fire officials recalled firefighters from the building. Fire officials said there were many vehicles and flammable items inside the building.

Fire officials said vehicles parked on the building’s deck fell into the building as the roof collapsed.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS U.N., rights groups criticize when Maryland’s highest court Europe’s plan for migrants ruled that Officer William Porter

BRUSSELS – The United Nations and human rights groups voiced deep concerns Tuesday about the legality of the European Union’s plans to send thousands of migrants back to Turkey amid fears the country cannot properly provide for them.

EU and Turkish leaders agreed to the broad outlines of a deal that essentially would outsource Europe’s refugee emergency.

People arriving in Greece having fled war or poverty would be sent back to Turkey unless they apply for asylum. For every migrant sent back, the EU would take in one Syrian refugee, thus trying to prevent the need for people to set out on dangerous sea journeys, often arranged by unscrupulous smugglers. Turkey stands to gain billions of dollars in refugee aid, faster EU membership talks and visa-free travel for its citizens within four months under the plan, whose details are to be worked out at a March 17 EU summit.

Porter’s trial ended in a hung jury in December and proceedings for the other officers have essentially been on hold while the courts determined whether he should be forced to take the stand.

The trial for Lt. Brian Rice, the highest-ranking officer charged in the Gray case, will start April 13.

Trump keeps winning; Sanders takes Michigan

By JULIE PACE and DAVID EGGERT The Associated Press

LANSING, Mich. – Bernie Sanders breathed new life into his longshot White House bid with a crucial win in Michigan’s primary Tuesday night, chipping away at Hillary Clinton’s dominance in the Democratic presidential race.

Republican Donald Trump swept to victory in both Michigan and Mississippi, overcoming fierce efforts to blunt his momentum.

Even with Sanders’ win, Clinton and Trump moved closer to a general election face-off. Clinton breezed to an easy victory in Mississippi, propelled by overwhelming support from black voters, and she now has more than half the delegates she needs to clinch the Democratic nomination. Trump, too, padded his lead over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who carried the Idaho primary.

The front-runners turned their sights on November as they reveled in their wins.

“We are better than what we are being offered by the Republicans,” Clinton declared.

In a nod toward the kind of traditional politics he’s shunned, Trump emphasized the importance of helping Republican senators and House members get elected in the fall. Having entered Tuesday’s contests facing a barrage of criticism from rival candidates and outside groups, he also delighted in overcoming the attacks.

“Every single person who has attacked me has gone down,” Trump said at one of his Florida resorts. He was flanked by tables packed with his retail products, including steaks, bot-

tled water and wine, and defended his business record more thoroughly than he outlined his policy proposals for the country.

Sanders, meanwhile, said Michigan signaled “that we are a national campaign.”

“We already have won in the Midwest, New England and the Great Plains and as more people get to know more about who we are and what our views are we’re going to do very well,” the Vermont senator said in a statement.

While a handful of recent losses to Cruz have raised questions about Trump’s durability, Tuesday’s contests marked another lost opportunity for rivals desperate to stop his march to the nomination. Next week’s winner-takeall contests in Ohio and Florida loom large as perhaps the last chance to block him short of a contested convention fight.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich was in a fight with Cruz for second place in Michigan and hoping a good showing would give him a boost heading into next week’s crucial contest in his home state.

For Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Tuesday marked the latest in a series of disappointing nights. He emerged from Michigan and Mississippi with no new delegates, a grim outcome for a candidate who has overwhelming support from Republican senators, governors and other elected officials.

Rubio insisted he would press on to his home state’s primary in Florida next Tuesday.

“It has to happen here, and it has to happen now,” Rubio told supporters during a rally in Sarasota.

FBI investigated for standoff shooting

By STEVEN DUBOIS The Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. – FBI agents involved in the traffic stop that led to the killing of one of the armed occupiers of an Oregon wildlife refuge are under investigation for not disclosing they fired shots that missed Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, authorities said Tuesday.

Oregon State Police troopers fired the three rounds that killed the Arizona rancher during a confrontation on a remote road, law enforcement officials said at a news conference in Bend.

An independent investigation by Oregon authorities found the troopers were justified in shooting Finicum because he failed to heed their commands and repeatedly reached for his weapon, Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris said.

The investigators discovered members of an FBI hostage rescue team who were at the scene failed to disclose they fired two rounds.

As they looked into how many shots were fired during the confrontation and by whom, the investigators found a round in the roof of Finicum’s truck.

“We could not explain the fourth shot into the roof of the truck, or its trajectory

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, a rancher from Arizona, talks to reporters Jan. 5 at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore. Authorities on Tuesday said police were justified in killing Finicum during a traffic stop Jan. 26. given the placement of the Oregon State Police troopers at the time,” Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson said.

The U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General said it is investigating the FBI team’s actions, working with Oregon officials.

Health law fines double at tax time for uninsured

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Many people who went without health insurance last year are now seeing fines more than double under President Barack Obama’s health care law, tax preparation company H&R Block said Tuesday.

Among its customers who owe a penalty for the 2015 tax year, the average fine is $383, compared with $172 for 2014, the company said.

Separately, among those who complied with the law and took advantage of its taxpayer-subsidized private health insurance, 6 in 10 are now having to pay back to the IRS some portion of their financial assistance. Those payments also are trending higher this year, averaging $579, compared with $530 last tax season.

Although millions of uninsured people have gained coverage through the Affordable Care Act, the update from H&R Block underscores the extent to which the law’s complex provisions remain a challenge for many consumers.

The law provides subsidized insurance for people who don’t have access

to coverage on the job. By using the income tax system to deliver the subsidies as tax credits, the White House and congressional Democrats were able to call the health law a middle-class tax cut.

But it also connected two of the most complicated areas for consumers: health care and taxes. At tax time, people have to account for the subsidies they received for health care or, if they remained uninsured, pay a fine.

H&R Block said it expected to see lots of confusion last year, the first time that consumers had to grapple with the connections between the health law and the income-tax system. But such issues don’t seem to have diminished this tax filing season.

“Even the people going through it a second time weren’t getting any better at it,” said Mark Ciaramitaro, the company’s vice president for taxes and health care. About the same proportions of returning customers and new customers wound up having to repay subsidies.

Ciaramitaro said many consumers appear to be having problems correctly estimating their incomes for the year ahead.

During the news conference, Oregon officials played videos showing Finicum and others in his truck Jan. 26 during the initial stop by law enforcement. Finicum was driving one of two vehicles that were pulled over while carrying key occupation figures.

Video taken from the phone of one of his passengers shows the occupants panicking after authorities stop the truck.

With his window rolled down, Finicum shouts at the officers: “Shoot me, just shoot me! Put the bullet through me.

Do as you damn well please.”

After a conversation with others in the truck, Finicum drives off, leading authorities on a short chase. The song “Hold Each Other” by a Great Big World was on the vehicle’s stereo.

Finicum was driving over 70 mph when the truck came to a roadblock, Nelson said.

A trooper fired three shots at the truck as it approached because it was a threat to law enforcement, he said. The truck plowed into a snowbank. Finicum got out, and someone from the FBI team fired two more shots, Nelson said.

As Finicum stood in the snow, authorities told him multiple times to lie on the ground. Instead, he reached into the inside of his jacket. The troopers fired three rounds, all of which hit Finicum. A loaded pistol was found in his jacket pocket.

Oregon investigators said Finicum posed a threat to officers by nearly running over one of them at the roadblock, and by reaching for a gun.

Alzheimer’s SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker In 2015, there were approximately 5.3 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Around the world, that number was in the mid 40-million range as this devastating disease doesn’t spare any country or culture. It doesn’t care about race, color or religion. If you have a brain and are alive to read this, then you’re at risk of someday being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s is the only cause of death among the Top 10 in America that cannot be prevented, cured or slowed. There has been some progress made in research to develop some treatments that can help prevent some Alzheimer’s symptoms from worsening, albeit for a limited period of time.

Unfortunately, scientists still haven’t been able to determine what causes Alzheimer’s despite decades of research, although for those who develop early-onset Alzheimer’s, a genetic mutation is typically the case. For late-onset Alzheimer’s,

which is what afflicts seniors, it’s believed that the brain undergoes many changes, especially once one reaches their 60s and beyond. Scientists speculate that the cause is likely a combination of lifestyle decisions/factors, the environment and genetics.

It’s important to remember that Alzheimer’s disease involves the brain. It literally kills nerve cells in the brain, which make it difficult for one to live normally. It steals the person you know, robbing them initially of memories of recent events and names of people who they are familiar with. Then, the disease makes it more difficult to plan and organize. People struggle with hygiene, getting dressed and with bladder or bowel control. Alzheimer’s can cause people to wander, making them vulnerable and irritable and putting them in dangerous situations. Eventually, the disease makes it impossible to function without full-time care.

The number of people with Alzheimer’s could triple by 2050. Currently, one in three seniors dies of Alzheimer’s or other dementia.

JERUSALEM – Palestinian attackers unleashed a series of shooting and stabbing assaults on Israelis on Tuesday, including a stabbing spree in the ancient Mediterranean port city of Jaffa that killed an American student near where Vice President Joe Biden was meeting with Israel’s former president, police said.

The Jaffa assault came as Biden arrived on a two-day visit as part of a regional tour of the Mideast. He is to meet both Israeli and Palestinian leaders and there have been speculations he would try to revive the moribund Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the man killed in Jaffa was an American tourist, but did not provide further details. A dozen Israelis, civilians and police officers, were wounded in the Palestinian knife and gun attacks. Along with the Jaffa attacker, three other Palestinian assailants were shot and killed in the day’s rash of violence, the latest in a wave of near-daily Palestinian assaults on Israeli civil-

ians and security forces that erupted in mid-September.

The bloodshed – mainly stabbings but also shootings and car-ramming attacks – has killed 28 Israelis. During the same time, at least 176 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire. Most of the Palestinians have been identified by Israel as attackers, while the rest were killed in clashes with security forces.

The chancellor of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, issued a statement identifying the American stabbing victim as Taylor Force, a student at its Owen Graduate School of Management who was on a school trip to Tel Aviv. Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos said all the other Vanderbilt students, faculty and staff on the trip are safe.

Zeppos said Force had traveled to Tel Aviv “to expand his understanding of global entrepreneurship and also to share his insights and knowledge with start-ups in Israel.”

“This horrific act of violence has robbed our Vanderbilt family of a young hopeful life and all of the bright promise that he held for bettering our greater world,” Zeppos said.

GENEVA – Sexual transmission of the Zika virus is more common than previously thought, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, citing reports from several countries.

After a meeting of its emergency committee Tuesday, the U.N. health agency also said there is increasing evidence that a spike in disturbing birth defects and neurological problems are caused by Zika, which is mostly spread by mosquito bites. When WHO declared the explosive outbreak in the Americas to be a global emergency last month, it said that the evidence that Zika was responsible was only circumstantial.

WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said “reports and investigations in several countries strongly suggest that sexual transmission of the virus is more common than previously assumed.” The U.S. is investigating more than a dozen possible cases of Zika in people who may have been infected through sex.

Dr. Bruce Aylward, who is directing WHO’s response to Zika, said the cases seen so far of sexual transmission of Zika have been from men to women. He doubted sex would play an important role in the disease’s spread.

“The mosquito is undoubtedly still the main driver of transmission,” he said.

Chan also said nine countries have now reported increasing cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare condition that may be linked to Zika and can cause temporary paralysis and death

in people of all ages. She said that problems connected to Zika, including Guillain-Barre syndrome, are now being seen not just in women of child-bearing age, but children, teenagers and older adults.

Zika also is now spreading to new countries, WHO said. It noted local transmission has now been reported in 31 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean.

“All of this news is alarming,” Chan said.

Despite the lack of definitive evidence proving that Zika causes birth defects and neurological problems, Chan said officials shouldn’t wait for definitive scientific proof before making recommendations.

“Microcephaly is now only one of several documented birth abnormalities associated with Zika infection during pregnancy,” she said, adding that it can cause growth problems, injuries to the central nervous system and fetal death.

WHO’s emergency committee called for “intensified” research into the relationship between new clusters of babies born with abnormally small heads and other neurological disorders. It said particular attention should be given to studying the genetics of the different Zika virus strains and establishing studies to determine if there is a causal relationship.

The agency also noted it was important to continue studying whether other factors could be responsible for the jump in microcephaly and neurological problems, including whether several causes combined might be to blame.

Time to scrap County Board pensions We listened with interest last week as Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Director Louis Kosiba and state Rep. Jack Franks questioned whether McHenry County Board members work enough hours to qualify for IMRF pensions per the board’s own 1,000-hour-a-year requirement.

But after hearing the explanation, we were left with a simpler question: Why are For the record elected, part-time County Board We support an IMRF probe members eligible for into the dubious claim made pensions at all? in sworn affidavits that all We support an 18 McHenry County Board IMRF probe into the members who take the IMRF dubious claim made pension work the required in sworn affidavits 1,000 hours, the equivalent of that all 18 McHen20 hours a week. ry County Board members who take the IMRF pension work the required 1,000 hours, the equivalent of 20 hours a week. Some might work that much; others likely don’t.

There are criteria for what is considered work.

One’s deep thoughts on county matters, campaigning or arguing on blogs don’t count for actual work, according to IMRF officials or any reasonable citizen.

Franks has requested that McHenry County State’s Attorney Louis Bianchi appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the claims made in the affidavits. Franks certainly has had his issues with the County Board, but a criminal investigation would be too expensive and have little chance of success. How does an investigator determine whether 18 different people worked 20 hours a week for 50 weeks a year going back years?

It wouldn’t be surprising if the cost of a special prosecutor outweighs the taxpayer cost of paying into IMRF pensions for part-time, elected officials.

What we’d rather see is that County Board members going forward forgo IMRF pensions, as six McHenry County Board members and most county board members across the state already have.

If they won’t, McHenry County should set the bar even higher and require a larger burden than 1,000 hours and require any IMRF recipients to document their work.

Fight against Zika virus urgent

The more doctors learn about the Zika virus, the more dangerous it appears. Is it too much to hope this research will prod the U.S. Congress to take action?

Of course, congressional action on any issue has been hard to come by lately. In the case of Zika, however, it’s worth examining what science says about its potential for harm.

Zika’s apparent link with microcephaly – a condition in which a baby’s brain fails to properly develop – is stronger than thought.

Meanwhile, a study of pregnant women in Rio de Janeiro who tested positive for the virus found an extraordinary number of “grave outcomes,” including stillbirth, stunted growth (even without microcephaly) and eye and brain lesions. In adults, Zika infection can trigger Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an immune disorder that can lead to muscle weakness and paralysis.

Scientists urgently are trying to figure out exactly how Zika inflicts this damage. A fuller understanding of the disease is needed before doctors can stop Zika’s worst effects. At the same time, an intensive effort to speed up vaccine creation and mosquito eradication is essential.

So it is unfortunate Congress so far has rejected President Barack Obama’s request for $1.8 billion in funding for Zika response. Leaders of the House Appropriations Committee have said the administration should first use up $1.4 billion in unspent money from the U.S.’s emergency Ebola response. But that money still is needed to rebuild the health systems of the West African countries hit hardest by Ebola and to make sure the devastating disease is fully defeated.

What’s more, the Ebola money earmarked for vaccine development mostly has been spent. If

new money isn’t provided, the government’s efforts to create a Zika vaccine could be delayed.

Even with full funding, this effort isn’t expected to reach the first phase of clinical trials until the fall.

This is the wrong time for Congress to sit on its hands. In the coming months, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which carries Zika, will become active again in southern states. And there’s some indication that Culex mosquitoes, far more common in the U.S., also might be capable of carrying the germ.

Many countries and agencies are cooperating to wage a counterattack against Zika. But the U.S. is in a position – geographically, scientifically and financially – to play a leading role. Congress should make sure U.S. public health officials have the funding they need.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Oppose big government

To the Editor: It’s good to see an increasing number of candidates for political office with two key characteristics.

One, they clearly understand that the total tax burden (federal, state, local) on the middle class has become brutal, oppressive and unsustainable. Endless tax increases (required by government waste, fraud, corruption and special interest group demands) are killing the middle class, not proposed laws to reform the way Illinois handles its finances.

Two, they aren’t afraid of offending overly sensitive special interest groups.

Those candidates, whom I support, include Tom Wilbeck (County Board District 1), Kelly Liebmann (County Board District 6), Dan McConchie (state senator District 26), Joe Tirio (county recorder) and John Bobrytzke (precinct committeeman, Algonquin 65).

Smith for recorder

To the Editor: After reading through the candidates for recorder, there is only one clear choice for me, and that is Joni Smith. An endorsement by Phyllis Walters with 30-plus years of experience running the recorder’s office certainly vets Joni as qualified. I also like Joni for not running a negative campaign and focusing on how to make the office better. The first sign a candidate is desperate is when he or she starts slinging mud, which rings true with one of her opponents. I’m voting for Joni Smith on March 15, the only clear, qualified candidate in the race for recorder.

Mike Tryon, I’m thrilled to know we have a very qualified candidate running for the seat who would allow us to keep that seat in McHenry County. I have known Carolyn Schofield for many years and have watched her on the Crystal Lake City Council and McHenry County Board.

I continually have been impressed with the depth of knowledge she brings to conversations, especially those that affect the taxes we pay. It’s clear to me she understands how out-of-control taxes hurt families. She also understands the business climate must change if our children have a hope of staying in Illinois. She recognizes that good-paying jobs are the key to our future generations being able to stay here and has been an advocate for innovative business attraction programs.

She is a proven and respected leader who would represent us very well in Springfield.

To the Editor: As a County Board member, I know our state’s attorney’s office is one of the most efficient in the state. It costs the average taxpayer less than $10 a year for all of the services the office provides.

It’s my job to cut taxes and deliver services, and I take this role very seriously.

The state’s attorney’s job is to keep the people safe. That’s why I am urging all of you to vote for Patrick Kenneally on March 15.

Since he joined the state’s attorney’s office, Pat aggressively has prosecuted violent criminals, repeat offenders and DUIs. Under Patrick’s term as lead prosecutor, violent crime is down by half; DUIs and domestics are down 20 percent. During the same period, crime has risen throughout the country. It is imperative we keep in place the team that has led to a reduction in crime.

per student in the county. Always with an eye toward efficiency and cost savings, Mike can be credited for the unmatched educational value in the Huntley schools.

When Mike was elected to the County Board, he continued to push for quality services at the lowest possible price.

The result is outstanding county services, delivered through a budget that this year is the lowest it’s been in nine years.

Vote for Mike Skala.

A man enters a store holding a closing-out sale Feb. 21 in Tokyo’s Ginza shopping district. Japan says its economy contracted at a 1.1 percent annualized pace in the last quarter, stymied by slow consumer demand and weaker exports. The revised data released Tuesday showed a slight improvement over the previous estimate of a 1.4 percent contraction from October through December. However, the world’s third-largest economy is failing to gain momentum despite unprecedented efforts by the central bank to spur more business activity through monetary stimulus.

Japan spins wheels as wary consumers stash their cash

By ELAINE KURTENBACH The Associated Press

TOKYO – The world’s third-largest economy is stuck in neutral, as wary Japanese consumers and corporations opt to hold onto their cash rather than spend it.

The latest data, released Tuesday, showed Japan’s GDP contracted at a 1.1 percent annualized pace in the last quarter in further evidence the economy is failing to gain traction despite unprecedented efforts by the central bank to spur more growth.

The revised figures compared with a 1.4 percent expansion in the July to September quarter. They showed a modest improvement over the previous estimate of a 1.4 percent contraction from October through December.

A monthly consumer survey for February, meanwhile, showed families were likely to cut spending further after the recent spate of turmoil in financial markets.

But more recent data suggest Japan’s growth has remained tepid in early 2016, raising the likelihood of further government moves to help boost growth. That could include further moves by the Bank of Japan to encourage lending, extra government spending and possibly a second delay in a sales tax hike scheduled for April 2017.

“Companies have not been as downbeat about production in the month ahead since

the 2008 recession. What’s more, consumer spending fell further in January as indicated by dips in ‘core’ household spending and retail sales,” Marcel Thieliant of Capital Economics said in a commentary.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe faces pressure both at home and abroad to deliver faster results three years after launching a recovery strategy, dubbed “Abenomics” that helped boost share prices and corporate profits but has not rekindled growth as quickly as hoped.

Abe will be hosting a summit of the Group of Seven industrial nations in central Japan’s Mie prefecture in May. His economy minister, Nobuteru Ishihara, said Tuesday that ahead of that meeting, the government would convene several seminars with top economic experts to study the global economy and how to cope with slowing growth.

Japan’s economy grew 0.5 percent in 2015 after flat-lining in 2014 In quarterly terms, the economy shrank 0.3 percent in the last quarter compared with a preliminary estimate of a 0.4 percent contraction.

Business investment climbed 1.5 percent, helping to offset a decline in spending on housing. Overall public investment dropped 3.4 percent.

Economists are divided on whether the Bank of Japan, which holds a policy meeting next week, will expand asset purchases that are pumping trillions of yen (hundreds of billions of dollars) into the

economy to help combat deflation.

Last month, the central bank began charging a fee on some commercial banks’ deposits, imposing a “negative interest rate” policy that has driven bond yields and interest rates on mortgages and savings deposits lower.

Stuck with diminishing returns on their savings and resistant to a newly implemented official identification system known as “My Number,” many Japanese households are shifting investments overseas or just stashing cash at home: sales of safes have soared so quickly that retailers say manufacturers cannot keep up with demand.

Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda defended the central bank’s strategy in a speech Monday. Companies and consumers will eventually begin spending more, he said, enabling Japan to reach a 2 percent inflation target and vanquish deflation.

“Japan’s economy has improved significantly from three years ago,” Kuroda said, pointing to low unemployment and record-high corporate profits that mostly reflect a weakening of Japan’s currency thanks to the BOJ’s monetary easing.

Since banks’ profit margins are being squeezed, “there is a strong concern that the introduction of a negative interest rate will make the situation even worse,” Kuroda said. But he said he was confident that ending deflation would lead to higher interest rates in the long run.

As the new executive director for the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I’ve been told I have a huge challenge ahead of me. I agree with the assessment, but it doesn’t worry me.

Here’s why.

Challenges exist all around us. In fact, I don’t know many people or businesses who aren’t facing challenges of one type or another. Challenges are opportunities for growth. They break us down and rebuild us to be stronger.

Regardless of age, sex, race, sexual orientation, economic status or political viewpoint, we all share common challenges throughout our lives. How we view and deal with challenges ultimately defines us.

Taking the time to develop a strong plan, asking for help along the way and focusing daily work on achieving your goal can overcome any challenge.

That’s exactly what we are doing at the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We are creating a road map for our future.

We approach this through the idea of looking through the windshield – and not the rear -view mirror – to rebuild the chamber and promote economic development in our business community.

CHAMBER NEWS Danielle Gulli We can’t change the past, but we do have some control over the future. Everything we do is on the table for analysis to determine the programs and services we carry into the future.

We are asking our membership for feedback, so we can learn from the past as we keep moving forward. We are asking our current membership and past members to embrace this philosophy, set aside past grievances and perceptions, focus on common goals, unite and join forces with the chamber, the city and the Promote Woodstock and Real Woodstock teams.

Together we can pave the road ahead and create an inclusive culture rich with volunteerism. Together we can make Woodstock the community we all envision it can be.

I view our current challenges as a great opportunity to create a new chapter in our history. Our strategy of looking through the windshield and not the rearview mirror is critical to our success. We

need optimism, innovation and unity, and we all have a role to play in attaining those values. We all have choices to make.

I have chosen to take on this challenge, to be part of the solution instead of being a critic and a part of the problem.

Be the change you seek and join me.

You can be part of the solution. I’m encouraged by the community spirit I have seen so far, but I also realize there is a fragmented and divided business community. We can’t succeed until we come together. I can’t change that by myself.

I encourage all local and even large business chains in Woodstock and McHenry to look inward at your business practices and your involvement in your community. Are you satisfied with where you are headed? Is it time to take a new approach, rethink a strategy, connect with others and ask for help?

Reach out, get involved and support your community. Together we can build something special.

Study: Renters’ rise extends beyond big cities to suburbs

By JENNIFER PELTZ The Associated Press

NEW YORK – In the American imagination, suburbs are places to buy a house and put down roots. But a growing percentage of suburbanites rent, according to a new study.

About 29 percent of metropolitan-area suburbanites were renters in 2014, up from 23 percent in 2006, according to a report released Tuesday by New York University’s Furman Center real estate think tank and the bank Capital One. The finances of home ownership since the mortgage meltdown might be a lead reason for the change, but the cost of renting also is rising in most of the biggest metropolitan areas, the study found.

Adding to data showing a national rise in renters in the past decade, the report zooms in on the metropolitan areas encompassing the nation’s 11 most populous cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington. For a national benchmark, the re-

searchers also looked at all metropolitan areas encompassing a city of at least 50,000 people.

“It’s the extensiveness of the affordability problem that is notable,” Laura Bailey, Capital One’s managing vice president of community development, told The Associated Press before the report’s release.

Still, the study shows some of the nation’s biggest rental markets have become more, not less, affordable to their typical tenants. Some findings:

At home – with renting – in the suburbs

Renting still is more common in big cities than their suburbs. In Miami and New York, about two-thirds of residents rent.

But the gap is narrowing.

Nationwide, 37 percent of all households nationwide now rent, the highest level since the mid-1960s, Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies noted in December.

Making the rent

Typical tenants could afford fewer

than half the rental homes available in metro areas nationwide in 2014, under officials’ traditional definition of affordability: spending less than 30 percent of income on rent and utilities. (Government-ese for people who spend more: “rent-burdened.”)

Where do renters have it the hardest?

That depends how you measure it. The Washington and San Francisco metro areas had 2014 median rents topping $1,500 a month but also the highest median tenant incomes: $57,000 for San Francisco and $58,200 for Washington. That made them relatively affordable: Half of San Francisco-area tenants and 49 percent of Washington-area ones were rent-burdened. (The national metro-area average was 53 percent.)

... And the easiest?

The Houston and Dallas areas boast the lowest big-metro median rents (around $950 in 2014). With median incomes around $38,000 a year, fewer than half of tenants are rent-burdened.

LAWYERS WANT DA TO SAY BROWN WASN’T MURDERED

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2016

ATLANTA – Lawyers for Bobbi Kristina Brown’s partner on Tuesday called on a prosecutor to tell the public she wasn’t murdered. Joe Habachy and Jose Baez, attorneys for Nick Gordon, released a statement calling on Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard to acknowledge there was no evidence of wrongdoing in Brown’s death.

“Frankly, the right thing for the District Attorney’s office to do right now is to tell the public the truth ... that this was an accident ... or even a suicide, but not a murder,” the statement says. “And the right thing for everyone to do is let Nick live his life now and let Bobbi Kristina rest in peace.”

English actress Emma Watson poses for photographers Aug. 27, 2015, during the photocall for the film “Regression” in Madrid, Spain.

Watson kicks off HeForShe Arts Week NEW YORK – Emma Watson said Tuesday she wants people to understand the importance of gender equality not only on a rational level but also on a visceral one, and books, movies and other art forms are important vehicles for accomplishing that.

“It’s also about making them feel it in their bones,” Watson said.

Watson, the UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador, and Forest Whitaker, a UNESCO Special Envoy for Peace, joined UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka on International Women’s Day at The Public Theater in Manhattan. They were there to announce a week of arts events aimed at initiating a dialogue about gender equality.

Arts venues around New York City, including ballets, Broadway theaters, museums and galleries, are taking part in the first HeForShe Arts Week to spotlight the work of UN Women, especially the idea that men and boys can become agents of change in reaching gender equality goals.

The 45-nation U.N. Commission on the Status of Women adopted a political declaration calling for accelerated implementation of 12 areas affecting women, ranging from impoverishment to economic and political participation and the difficulties facing girls. The declaration commits the commission “to strive for the full realization of gender equality and the empowerment of women by 2030.” Watson, 25, said she wants to build momentum to reach that goal.

UN Women chief Mlambo-Ngcuka, who is South African, said the arts can bring about social change and recalled the influence of the 1984 protest song “Free Nelson Mandela” on the movement to release Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned at the time.

“Through art we can challenge norms peacefully,” she said.

Whitaker said there has been some progress among men becoming more open-minded about acceptable gender roles.

NEW YORK – There’s “clap back,” where celebrities go after haters on social media, and then there’s “clap back” Kim Kardashian West-style, where one of the biggest names in the game takes on a 19-year-old, actress Chloe Grace Moretz.

As Twitter shade goes, there’s been far worse, but like most things Kardashian, this round scored thousands and thousands of clicks.

It started Monday night with a nude, in-the-mirror selfie – black censor bars in all the right places – that Kardashian West pushed out, noting later it was an old shot.

The not-so-new nude was enough to motivate Bette Midler to joke in a tweet: “Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.”

Get it? Well, Moretz did, re-tweeting Midler’s joke and weighing in with a tweet or two of her own – because 140 characters were slightly not enough – as she addressed Kardashian West directly: “I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies.”

That’s when IT happened, the IT looking just like this: “let’s all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo,” Kardashian West

tweeted.

The pile-on included a mention elsewhere that Moretz might be slut-shaming Kardashian West, a claim Moretz took on in more tweets: “There’s a huge difference in respecting the platform that you’re given as a celebrity and ‘slut shaming’ something I never have done and would never do.”

Third grade-like petty doesn’t begin to cover some of the details involving Midler.

Twitter Kim made a crack about her age and mentioned that Midler once gave her a gift but now falls into the “fake friend” category, to which Twitter Bette responded: “I never tried to fake friend you. Looks like anyone can take a selfie but not everyone can take a joke.”

Queen Latifah eager to see Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone

LOS ANGELES – Queen Latifah and Paula Patton are putting aside the controversy surrounding the Nina Simone biopic, “Nina,” and waiting to see how Zoe Saldana does in the title role.

While critics say it was wrong of producers to cast a lighter-skinned actress to portray Nina Simone, who celebrated her dark skin and traditionally African features, Latifah and Patton are reserving judgment until the film’s release next month.

“I think Zoe Saldana’s a great actress, so I am looking forward to it,” Latifah said Monday at the premiere of “The Perfect Match,” which she produced.

CHANEL’S BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING

Dutch wunderkind Iris Van Herpen went microscopic on Tuesday, going beyond her signature organic-looking looks to an exploration of inner space.

Using cutting-edge techniques, the award-winning 31-year-old designer produced tactile, three-dimensional contours on micro dresses that mirrored the tectonic, interlocking patterns of organic molecules.

An A-line skirt burst out in a flurry of polygynous shapes like the infinitesimal components of a diamond.

Several dresses in shimmering fabric possessed the marbled iridescence of a sea creature with sensual veiny lines.

And a couple of stand-out tight looks in bright yellow and gray seemed to break out of the organic mold, and echoed almost Burmese styles in their color, pleating and high necks.

It was a focused and quite literally strong 17-piece collection.

Executive fitness

Let your boss track your exercise levels, get an Apple Watch

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – You know you need to exercise more, but there’s always next week, or the week after. To entice you to stop procrastinating, your company or insurer soon might reward you for wearing a fitness device to track your steps, heart rate and more.

For instance, in one program, some workers can buy a $350 Apple Watch for just $25 by meeting exercise goals for two years. Miss goals, and see your discount shrink. Vitality, a provider of disease-prevention and lifestyle programs, initially is bringing the offer to U.S. employees at three companies, along with John Hancock life-insurance customers. It has been testing the program in South Africa since December.

Other programs let you redeem points from fitness activities for gift cards and other rewards. Submit to biometric screenings and nutrition classes, and in some cases you can earn insurance discounts.

“We all live busy lives, but the truth is, if doctors could write one prescription for the world, it would be activity,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer.

Adrian Gore, CEO and founder of Vitality parent company Discovery Group, said for many people, the benefits from exercise might not be apparent for a few decades. Reward programs make the payoff more immediate.

Programs like these still are new, but they appear to be expanding as part of broader changes in the health care marketplace.

Health insurer UnitedHealthcare recently started offering up to $1,460 a year in credits for meeting daily goals while wearing a custom tracker.

Oscar, which sells health insurance directly to consumers, has been giving out free Misfit trackers for opportunities to earn up to $100 a year in Amazon gift cards. Fitbit works with employers such as Indiana University Health and Emory University in Atlanta to subsidize fitness trackers for their staff.

“I love playing sports, but doing cardio stuff isn’t my favorite,” said Brett Broviak, 43, an IU Health employee in Noblesville, Indiana.

He said getting a discounted Fitbit

pushed him to walk 1 million steps a month.

These programs typically are voluntary, but you must be willing to share data to earn the most rewards and insurance discounts.

Sound creepy? Program officials say data from fitness trackers typically go to outside administrators, such as Fitbit or Vitality. Employers and insurers get only broad totals to verify eligibility and not details on heart rate and sleep. But participants need to trust that these systems won’t get

hacked.

Mike Doughty, president and general manager of John Hancock Insurance, said premiums won’t rise if a screening uncovers higher blood pressure or other risks. Rather, he said, wellness incentives are about promoting longer lives – and collecting life-insurance premiums longer.

There’s no proof providing fitness trackers directly lowers health care costs, but there’s plenty of evidence that exercise leads to better health, which in turn can improve produc-

tivity and reduce absences. Michael Staufacker, Emory’s director of health management, describes the thinking as a “value of investment and not a hard-dollar return on investment as it relates to medical or pharmacy costs.”

More importantly, reaching daily exercise goals is just the beginning of getting people to think more about their health.

“If I exercise regularly, then junk food just doesn’t appeal to me,” said Mark Holloway, 55, of Clemmons, North Carolina, who participates in Vitality’s wellness program through his employer, Lockton. “French fries and hamburgers? No, thanks. It’s like putting sand in your gas tank.”

Programs from Vitality and others typically won’t let you earn insurance discounts simply by exercising.

You’ll need to earn additional points by completing questionnaires and getting flu shots. You sometimes get bonus points simply by staying within recommended limits for cholesterol, blood pressure and other measures.

Smokers also can get points for joining programs to help them quit.

“You change one thing about your behavior, and you can be more motivated to work on these other aspects,” said Tammy Smith, who manages the employee wellness program at IU Health.

DaVita HealthCare Partners said health care spending by its employees slowed significantly after it offered tracker-based incentives through Vitality. But DaVita also increased the deductible on claims and started initiatives such as Fresh Fruit Wednesday. That makes the effect of the fitness program difficult to isolate.

With the Apple Watch program, participants must pay back Vitality for every month they miss their fitness goals, which typically call for four substantial workouts a week. The goals are meant to be achievable, but tough enough to encourage a change in lifestyle.

Participants qualify for smaller discounts by meeting some of the goals and can get more expensive models by paying the difference. Bonus point offers are sent to the watch.

An iPhone is required; Vitality has no current plans to offer anything similar for Android. Neither Apple nor Vitality would provide financial details on the arrangement.

versus almost 19 percent of the others.

The new results suggest early introduction of allergy-inducing foods results in “true tolerance” in at-risk kids, said Dr. Stacy Dorris, an allergist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

She was not involved in the research.

The second study involved 1,300 breast-fed British children randomly assigned to get several types of allergy-inducing foods or just breast milk.

The strongest results were with peanut-based food and eggs, but there was one hitch. About 60 percent of the early eaters didn’t stick to the program. Some may have had immature swallowing skills; some doctors don’t recommend starting solid foods until around 4 months of age. But it’s possible some parents stopped giving solid foods because they noticed allergy-like symptoms, which may have included false alarms, said Dr. Gideon Lack, a King’s College London researcher who led all three studies.

The results suggest feeding these foods to at-risk infants is safe, but often not feasible in infants so young, said Dr. Gary Wong, a Hong Kong pediatrician. Still, Wong said the new studies confirm the old approach to preventing food allergies – avoiding certain foods early in life – is probably obsolete.

• Wednesday, March 9, 2016

CHICAGO – Two new studies bolster evidence that feeding babies peanuts or other allergy-inducing foods is more likely to protect them than to cause problems.

One study, a follow-up to landmark research published last year, suggests the early prevention strategy leads to persistent, long-lasting results in children at risk for food allergies. It found allergy protection lasted at least through age 5 and didn’t wane even when kids stopped eating peanut-containing foods for a year.

That means at-risk kids who don’t want to eat peanut butter on a weekly basis safely can take a break, at least for a year.

The second new study suggests the early strategy also could work with eggs, another food that can cause allergies in young children. It found allergies to peanuts and eggs were less common in young children who started eating those foods at 3 months of age than in kids who as infants received only breast milk.

The New England Journal of Medicine published both new studies online Friday, coinciding with their

Diseases, said in a statement.

It also led to a new draft guidance issued Friday by a panel convened by Fauci’s agency. The recommendations include giving at-risk kids peanut-containing food as early as 4- to 6-months of age. Infants at risk are those with severe skin rashes or egg allergies; allergy tests are recommended beforehand.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve) or aspirin.

So when might it be reasonable to ask your doctor to prescribe antibiotics for a sinus infection because it might be caused by bacteria? Here are some rules of the road: • When the symptoms are prolonged. For example, if after 10 days your infection is not getting better, it’s reasonable to call your doctor and ask about an antibiotic.

• When the symptoms are severe. Alarm signs of a bacterial sinus infection are sharp pain in the cheeks or teeth accompanied by a fever.

• When the symptoms are getting worse. If you have cold-like symptoms that progress to severe pain and fever, antibiotics might be worth considering.

Finally, even if your doctor does eventually prescribe an antibiotic, don’t expect too much. In clinical trials that compared antibiotics to a placebo pill for confirmed bacterial sinusitis, the antibiotic had minimal effect.

Why is that? Most likely it’s because the sinuses are blocked. A bacterial sinus infection needs to drain. It’s like a boil on your skin, if you’ve ever had one. Antibiotics help only a little – until the boil is lanced and the pus inside drains away.

Also, the antibiotic in the bloodstream can’t reach the bacteria inside the sinus, just the bacteria in the lining of the sinus (which is where the blood is flowing).

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

Dear Dr. K: My doctor won’t give me an antibiotic for my sinus infection. So what can I do to feel better?

Dear Reader: Most cases of sinusitis are caused by viral infections. Viruses are bulletproof to antibiotics. All antibiotics can do in this case is cause side effects.

So, the best course of action for occasional sinusitis is to use self-care steps to ease symptoms while the body clears the infection.

Your sinuses are hollow spaces in your facial bones. In response to infection, the sensitive lining of the sinuses swells up and starts to pour out mucus, triggering nasal stuffiness, a runny nose and facial pain. You also might experience fatigue, cough, impaired sense of smell, fullness or pressure in the ears or headache.

While your body fights the infection, these self-care steps can help to ease symptoms: • Spray in some saline. Saline (saltwater) rinses are very soothing. Frequent, gentle snorts of a prepackaged saline spray can help to loosen mucus.

• Use decongestants. Over-the-counter decongestant pills or nasal sprays can be used on a limited basis to reduce stuffiness.

– Nasal spray decongestants: Limit yourself to no more than two doses a nostril a day for no longer than five days. If you use a nasal decongestant for too long, you can get the opposite effect from what you seek: Your nose may start running when you stop using the decongestant.

– Decongestant pills: A common side effect of these pills is moderate jitteriness.

You shouldn’t take such pills if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure or a heart condition.

• Take a pain reliever to ease headache or facial pain. When experiencing inflammation, you may get more benefit from a

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’ve been with my fiancé for Jeanne three years, and Phillips I’m very much in love.

A few months ago, I asked to use his phone to look up something on the Internet because my battery had died. It opened up to a gay porn site. I was shocked and asked him if it was something he was looking at.

He admitted it was.

Nothing like this has happened to me before, so I began asking if that’s what he likes and is into. He assured me the answer was no. He said he looked because he simply was curious about it. He told me he loves women and doesn’t want to be with men. He said he was just looking.

I believe him, but is this normal behavior? – Weirded Out In The West Dear Weirded Out: I took your question to an expert on the subject of adult entertainment viewing, Larry Flynt. He said while curiosity is normal, not many heterosexual men make a habit of viewing gay male porn sites. He added if your fiancé is a regular consumer of this kind of entertainment, he might have latent homosexual tendencies.

I then consulted Jack Drescher, M.D., a psychoanalyst and expert on gender and sexuality, who told me some people fantasize about people of the same sex, but never act on it.

According to Dr. Drescher, what is important is you and your fiancé are able to talk about sex honestly and openly. If you need more assurances, continue this discussion so you both will know what you’re getting if your betrothal leads to marriage.

Dear Abby: My husband of 40 years is a smoker. I am not, but have learned to live with the smell, etc.

Most of the time he smokes outside, except in winter, when he opens the bathroom window, smokes his cigarette, puts it out in the toilet and disposes of the butt in the trash can.

He has begun a new behavior that is really bothering me. When he wakes up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, he’ll light up a cigarette, take a few puffs and then put it out and return to bed. When he gets back in our bed, he stinks. And he coughs and coughs.

I try not to nag him about his smoking, but I’d really like to bring this up. Any suggestions on how? – In A Stink In Alaska Dear In A Stink: If your husband can’t sleep through the night without smoking, it should be obvious to you your husband is seriously addicted to nicotine. How sad for him.

Suggest he keep a pack of nicotine gum in the medicine cabinet and chew it rather than light up before he returns to bed. That might solve your problem.

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

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

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

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

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

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

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

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

KNEE JOINT WITH ARTHIRITIS

ROCKFORD – Of all the compliments paid to Jacobs center Cameron Krutwig after Tuesday’s Class 4A Rock Valley College Sectional semifinal, the best came from Golden Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts.

“His jersey was the sweatiest jersey I’ve ever seen in basketball,” Roberts said. “They’re not real thick to begin with. But it became transparent.”

The other thing that became transparent in Tuesday’s game: Krutwig is arguably the best player in the area.

In the Golden Eagles’ 58-39 loss to Rockford Auburn, Krutwig recorded a double-double of 26 points and 14 rebounds. It was his first half, however, that was most impressive.

Running the same simple set, the Golden Eagles worked the ball around the perimeter and fed it inside to Cam. Layups all day.

The 6-foot-9 center scored 18 straight Jacobs points in the first half and had 20 of the Golden Eagles’ 23 points heading into intermission. It got to the point where everyone in the gym knew the ball was going to Krutwig. No one in the gym could stop him.

“He’s one of the best … or probably THE best in the area,” Jacobs guard Kyle Ross said. “I may be biased, but he had a great game.”

Ross is biased, yes. But he’s also a smart kid. He scored a 33 on his ACT. If he tells me the answer, I’m going with it.

So actually, after thinking back to that first half, I’m willing to take the arguably part out of that sentence and make the case that Krutwig is deserving of the Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

That’s no sleight to the others in

Jacobs’ Cameron Krutwig (center) splits Rockford Auburn defenders Shidyae Evans (left) and Trayvon Tyler as he drives up the floor in the second half Tuesday in Rockford. Krutwig scored 20 first-half points and 26 overall in Jacobs’ 58-39 sectional semifinal loss. contention. Marian Central senior Adam Pischke ranks among the alltime scorers in the area and dropped 41 points in a playoff game this year.

Marengo senior Zach Knobloch set the single-season record for 3-pointers last season and now ranks third in Illinois history in career 3-pointers.

At different points this season, those two guards have taken over halves. Not like this, however.

“We haven’t seen a real center like this all season long,” Auburn coach Bryan Ott said. “We haven’t had a guy

have 20 in the first half against us, I don’t think ever. That was one heck of a performance. I have a lot of respect for that kid.”

With only two players on the Knights’ roster listed at taller than 6-foot-1, Auburn’s Juwuane Parchman drew the unenviable task of guarding Krutwig.

“It was very tough going against a guy that big and that strong,” Parchman said. “We’ve faced many big teams like that, but none of them were as big and as powerful as he.”

Now, just because I’m making the argument that Krutwig should win our award doesn’t mean he will. We’ll still follow our process to select the player of the year. All of our writers have the chance to vote, and area coaches get input.

But if you ask me, give Krutwig the award. ... And a towel.

deal with Krutwig inside. The Eagles committed eight first-half turnovers but kept cramming the ball inside to Krutwig, who was 9 of 13 from the field and scored 20 first-half points. One miss was his full-court desperation throw at the buzzer.

“Our guys guarding the ball really ramped up the pressure,” Knights coach Bryan Ott said. “We weren’t getting enough pressure on the guards and that had to happen in order to make it more difficult to get the pass entries.”

Things turned quickly for Auburn in the second half. “[Coach] wanted us to pick it up and

we listened to him, and you see what it led to, 10 turnovers in the third,” Auburn guard Trayvon Tyler said. “It was just pressuring the ball, make their guards play faster than they wanted to.”

The situation grew more frustrating for Jacobs as, Roberts said, “things unraveled.”

“They were really quick, they were really good on defense,” Eagles guard Nikolas Balkcom said. “They lock down on defense, they’re really good off the ball. It was pretty hard to enter the ball in.”

Krutwig, a junior, hit 11 of 16 shots

and finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds. No other Jacobs player had more than four points. Evans led Auburn with 21 points, while Tyler added 15.

Jacobs was making its second sectional appearance in three seasons, while Auburn was in its sixth in eight years.

“I wish we could have supported Cam a little more, but what can you do?” Ross said. “We were more worried about the entry pass to the wings. If we could have gotten that, the one to Cam would have been much easier. They denied it pretty well.”

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A ROCK VALLEY COLLEGE SECTIONAL

Defense key to PR’s 25-win season

Wolves, surging St. Charles East to meet in semis

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Prairie Ridge earned a reputation by playing tough man-to-man defense for more than a decade under boys basketball coach Corky Card.

The Wolves had zone defensive alignments among their schemes but rarely used them. Card preferred they get after opponents with aggressive man-to-man.

Card was not afraid to try something different, however, and discovered a defense three years ago he really liked, a 1-2-2 zone ball press that was active and allowed multiple chances to trap offensive players.

The zone has been most beneficial for Prairie Ridge, which has won backto-back Fox Valley Conference Fox Division championships and won its first regional title since 2007. The Wolves defeated Jefferson, 56-36, Friday in the Class 4A Crystal Lake South Regional title game.

Prairie Ridge, 25-3 and the winner of 15 consecutive games, meets St. Charles East (17-12) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Rock Valley College Sectional semifinals in Rockford. The winner plays in the sectional championship at 7 p.m. Friday.

“Our overall main premise is still the same: We want to put as much pressure on the ball as possible,” Card said.

“When we play the 1-2-2 or the ball press, it allows us to be a little bit more aggressive with rotations. We try to turn peo-

Most people play good defense. It’s difficult to find a way to score in today’s game.”

The Wolves have allowed more than 50 points only once in their past eight

games. In their regular-season finale, they beat FVC Valley champion Jacobs, 57-38, forcing 15 turnovers in the first half. Jacobs (23-6) turned around and won the Class 4A South Elgin Regional on Friday.

“It’s our ball pressure. That starts

everything for us,” Wolves forward Christopher Bradshaw said. “Constantly putting pressure on the other team and making them panic, forcing them to commit turnovers. And flying around and scrambling when we trap.”

Most of the players in the Wolves’ rotation played last season, which allows for more continuity.

“Last year I was new to it, and it was really hard to understand right away,” said junior forward Brian Dorn, who usually plays the top spot in the 1-2-2.

“We have the whole team doing it with the same people. You communicate well and pick up tendencies. The most important thing we have is to trust each other to be in the next spot. If we go to trap the ball, we have to trust that someone’s going to be ready to help on the next guy.”

Card credits assistant coach Dave Otto, who ran a similar ball press when he was head coach at Cary-Grove from 1990 to 2001, and Lincoln coach Neil Alexander. Prairie Ridge played in a summer tournament a few years ago at Lincoln, and Alexander, who uses that defense, tutored Card on how it is run effectively.

“We’re not very big,” Card said. “One of the flexibilities we have with the three positions, 1 row, 2 row and 3 row, is most of our kids can play all three different positions. We’ve tried tweaking a couple things, the first year (2014) we were more station-to-station. This year we have tried a few different things. It’s almost like a switching man-to-man defense.”

St. Charles East has won eight of its past 10 games after overcoming injury problems. James McQuillan (broken foot) and Zach Mitchell (broken wrist) missed significant time during the season but have returned for the late-season run.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: BIG TEN TOURNAMENT

Hoosiers look to rewrite Big Ten tourney history

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Hoosiers took a long, hard road to winning the Big Ten title.

If they’re going to win the tournament title, they also will need to rest.

Two months after being discounted, overlooked and forgotten by many outsiders, the 10th-ranked Hoosiers head to Indianapolis with the top seed and a chance to change directions in what

has been a frustrating event for Indiana.

The 2016 tourney opens with two games Wednesday.

“The main thing playing three games in three days is rest,” first-team All-Big Ten guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell said.

“You’ve got to get your feet up. You’ve got to get treatment, and if you win one, you’ve got to get right on to the next one.”

The good news is that Indiana (25-6) is playing as well as it has all season and won’t play until Friday.

Last week, the Hoosiers won at No. 16 Iowa to clinch the league’s outright title and routed No. 14 Maryland at home to complete their first unbeaten season at Assembly Hall since 2006-07. Plus, they’ll take a five-game winning streak with them to Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

So why is there consternation throughout the Hoosier State?

Indiana is 11-18 all-time in the Big Ten tournament, has never won the title, has played in only one championship game (2001) and has only one semifinal

appearance since 2007.

The road this year isn’t any easier.

After a double bye into the quarterfinals, the Hoosiers face either eighth-seeded Michigan or ninth-seeded Northwestern, and then face a possible rematch with No. 13 Purdue. A win there could set up a championship game showdown with No. 2 Michigan State.

Indiana isn’t the only favorite that has had trouble in this event.

No. 20 Iowa hasn’t played in the semifinals since 2006.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

5

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Clayton Kershaw gave up one run and five hits in three innings in his second spring training start, a 7-3 win for the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Kershaw struck out five.

Kris Bryant homered off Joe Blanton and had two hits for the Cubs, who dropped to 1-6. Kyle Schwarber and David Ross each had two hits.

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks allowed two hits in three scoreless innings. Travis Wood followed and gave up three runs and six hits in three innings.

– The Associated Press

Two days later, Arrieta threw a no-hitter.

“We didn’t get anything done,” Epstein said of talks that were more substantive during the winter. “But I thought it was a great exchange of ideas and perspective, and the relationship between Jake and the organization couldn’t be better as far as I’m concerned.”

Arrieta, who is eligible to become a free agent after next season, approached his representatives last season, urging them to get a multiyear deal done because of his strong desire to stay in Chicago, where his career began to thrive, a source close to Arrieta said.

He’s 36-13 with a 2.26 ERA in 67 starts since joining the Cubs.

He was 20-25 with a 5.46 ERA in 69 games (63 starts) for Baltimore before that.

“There’s a small window that you have as a professional athlete, and obviously you want to try to capitalize on that,” said Arrieta, who makes his first start of the spring Wednesday. “Money can only make you so happy. And we’re extremely happy where we’re at. I love my teammates, love Chicago.

So those are more important than a contract extension for me.”

Arrieta’s value almost certainly never will be higher than it is right now. Some of the greatest pitchers in history have not produced the kind of dominance he did much of last year (16-1, 0.86 ERA, in his final 20 starts). And he turned 30 on Sunday.

The length of the contract he’s seeking is said to be the biggest obstacle to clear between the sides.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Prospect May comes with strong pedigree

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – If anyone was born to play baseball, it’s Jacob May. May’s father, Lee May Jr., was a Mets first-round draft pick who never made it to the majors but stayed in professional baseball as a coach. His grandfather, Lee May, hit 354 major league homers. And May’s uncle Carlos has a White Sox pedigree – a two-time All-Star on those good red-striped Sox teams starring Dick Allen and managed by Chuck Tanner during the early 1970s.

“Any time you’re around someone who has been in the game, you soak it all in,” May said. “Even the little things you’re comprehending.”

A third-round draft pick out of Coastal Carolina in 2013, May doesn’t carry himself like a privileged prospect. He knows his dad was expected to make it to the majors but came up short. He knows baseball is tough to master.

“I’m grateful and blessed to be here,” May said.

May is grateful and blessed to have survived a scary collision in the outfield with shortstop Tim Anderson, the organization’s top position-player prospect (and his roommate at the time) while playing for Double-A Birmingham last summer. A concussion shelved him for six weeks, and he doesn’t remember the crash.

“It was a freak accident,” said May, who had opened the season with a .311 batting average and 25 stolen bases in 52 games. He finished with a .275 average, .329 on-base percentage and 37 stolen bases.

Garcia helps power Sox past Brewers

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Austin Jackson’s signing added depth to the White Sox’s outfield. Avisail Garcia made a strong pitch not to be the odd man out Tuesday.

Garcia had three hits, including his first spring home run, and Adam Eaton also went 3 for 4 as the Sox pounded the Milwaukee Brewers, 10-6.

Jimmy Rollins also homered and had three hits in the Sox’s onslaught.

veloped nearly enough position players to stock their major league roster for years, need prospects like May – who likely will start the season at Triple-A Charlotte – to pan out. They’ve filled his position like every other, trading for Adam Eaton and, most recently, signing Austin Jackson to a one-year, $5 million contract. Bullish on his skill and feel for the game, they think they might have a keeper in May. “This kid knows how to play the game,” Sox director of player development Nick Capra said. “He’s a real good defender with good range and a good arm. He has a chance to be a table setter with on-base potential.

He bunts well and is a threat on the bases.”

He has looked good in Arizona, making two starts in center and going 3 for 8 with two doubles, two RBIs and two stolen bases in two attempts.

May, 24, who was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, home of the Little League World Series, was raised to be a ballplayer.

“Growing up I was always in dugouts and clubhouses with my dad as he coached,” he said. “I was always blessed to be around the game.”

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs and Jake Arrieta likely will open the season without a multiyear contract extension for the National League’s reigning Cy Young Award winner, but it’s not for lack of face time between the pitcher and the team’s top baseball executive.

“Theo (EpJake Arrieta stein) and I talked not so recently, and then we had a conversation a little bit more recently,” said Arrieta, who avoided arbitration with a one-year agreement for $10.7 million this month before resuming conversations about a potential longer-term deal.

“I think we’re kind of on the same page with not wanting to have a ton of conversation as the season gets near because the 24 guys in here are more important than my contract,” Arrieta said. “I think they kind of know the ballpark of where it needs to be.

“Whether it happens or not we’ll see. And I think both sides don’t want to deal with much of this during the season.”

Team president Epstein downplayed the newsworthiness of the talks – which sources said the team didn’t expect to result in an agreement – and characterized those conversations since being together in Arizona as more about broad concepts than substantive details.

“Maybe the talks will provide a foundation for something to get done down the road,” Epstein said.

“The last thing he wants or we would want is to create any type of distraction. There will be quiet moments out of the competitive spotlight in the future where it’ll make sense to talk again. But it’s certainly not something that’s going on now.”

As Arrieta closed in on a 22-6 season that included a 1.77 ERA, his agent, Scott Boras, compared him to another client: Max Scherzer, who got a then-record seven-year, $210 million from the Washington Nationals. Boras emphasized relatively low miles and high durability expectations for Arrieta.

6 BLACKHAWKS

Hossa times return to perfection

Hawks ready to visit Blues, Stars this week

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Marian Hossa’s timing couldn’t be much better. If you’re going to get injured, you might as well get injured late in the season so you can be rested and refreshed for the playoff push. And if you’re going to return to the lineup, you might as well return for the most significant road trip of the regular season.

The Blackhawks this week visit the St. Louis Blues and the Dallas Stars – the two teams they’re fighting with for the Central Division title and home-ice advantage through at least the first two rounds of the playoffs. And they’ll be as close to full strength as they’ve been all season when they do, as Hossa is expected to play Wednesday against the Blues.

Oh, and their moms will be there to watch them.

“A big two games on the road,

and [it’s the] moms trip,” Hossa said Tuesday after joining his teammates at practice for the first time since Anaheim’s Hampus Lindholm hipchecked him out of the game and out of the lineup Feb. 13. “Couldn’t have timed it better.”

Marcus Kruger’s return still is likely a couple of weeks away, but the Hawks will step on the ice at Scottrade Center with a nearly complete arsenal at forward, with a top line of Andrew Ladd, Jonathan Toews and Hossa, and with Andrew Shaw and trade-deadline reinforcements Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise bolstering the bottom six.

The taut division race has put a little bit of urgency into mid-March, and the Hawks have welcomed it.

“We always say we don’t want to be playing Game 82 (as if it’s) life-ordeath to get in, but if we’re fighting for first place, we’d like to get first place,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “It keeps our attention in the right place. It’s a very meaningful road trip, two important games against two important teams as far as where we’re sitting. Big fourpoint swings.”

Hossa’s return should help balance out the Hawks’ lines, and finally give some stability on the top line, which has seen Toews flanked

by various wingers throughout the season. That line’s possession and production numbers have dipped as a result of that inconsistency. But with three big, elite two-way forwards now up top, the Hawks lineup suddenly looks awfully formidable again.

“Those two guys are great leaders,” Hossa said of Ladd and Toews.

“They lift our team even more, make it stronger. I’m looking forward to playing with those two. Hopefully we click, hopefully we find chemistry, and we can be the dominant line we want to be.”

Said Ladd: “Anytime you get a player like that back, it’s a big boost to the group.”

Hossa played all 82 games last season, and then all 23 playoff games.

So even at age 37, the last thing he wanted was time off. But the leg injury afforded him a rare chance to recharge for the postseason. And after seeing what Patrick Kane did in the playoffs last season after missing the final seven weeks of the season, Hossa – who is four goals shy of 500 for his career – expects to come back with a hop in his step.

AP file photo “You don’t want to get hurt, but if you do, you try to take advantage Marian Hossa, who has been out because of injury of it,” Hossa said. “And hopefully, since Feb. 13, is expected to rejoin the Blackhawks on Wednesday when they face the Blues in St. Louis. that’s going to be an advantage.”

BULLS

Butler could be back Thursday vs. Spurs, Leonard

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – That much-hyped showdown between Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard? Well, it just might be back on.

According to Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg, the swollen left knee that kept Butler out of the Monday night win over Milwaukee was “quite a bit better” Tuesday afternoon.

“We didn’t do much in practice,” Hoiberg said of Butler’s day. “We had a film session and then we walked through some different situations. His swelling has gone down and he feels a lot better than he did [Monday] night.”

That also meant no MRI was planned before the team left for San Antonio for the Thursday night meeting in the Lone Star State.

If Butler has no setbacks Wednesday, Hoiberg said the hope would be the

two-time All-Star would be a thumbs up in yet another must-win game.

They’ll need him.

The Spurs have an NBA-best 30-0 home record, while Leonard has been mentioned in the MVP argument, averaging 20.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals a game, as well as considered the gold standard of two-way players in the Jimmy Butler game.

By the way, the same description can be used for Butler.

Like Leonard, Butler often guards the best scorer on the opposing roster, while averaging 22.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals.

In the first meeting between the two in early December, Leonard won the battle, outscoring Butler 25 to 14, but Butler won the war as the Bulls beat

San Antonio, 92-89.

“They’re so good,” Hoiberg said of the Spurs. “It’s all their players. One through 15, whoever is asked to step up goes out and makes a big impact on that team. They’ve been together so long; I think that’s the biggest thing when you look at that team. They know each other so well. They know where they’re going to be. A lot of times there are no-look passes. The ball moves so well. They make simple plays and benefit from that.”

Besides complimenting the Spurs, Hoiberg also had further questions to answer on the handling of Butler and the left knee.

After missing a month with the strain, Butler returned Saturday in the win over Houston, played 34 minutes, and then was back on the shelf when the knee swelled up.

Hoiberg said there was a process of steps Butler had to take, including

checking with the guard every timeout in that win against the Rockets.

“I guess in talking to the doctors and the trainers, it’s not too unexpected to have a little bit of soreness after that, after the inactivity, but that’s what went into it,” Hoiberg said. “We didn’t just throw him out there and say, ‘All right, go see how you do.’ We put a lot of time and effort into seeing how he was going to feel going into that game and he responded well. He was exploding. He had no limitations. He had a couple dunks coming down in transition, he caught a lob from Pau (Gasol).

Everything went according to plan.

“Then, unfortunately, what happens sometimes in these situations is he got a little bit of swelling in it. Again, it feels much better [Tuesday]. It doesn’t look like there’s anything structurally wrong with the knee. We’ll see how he is these next couple days leading into Thursday.”

Jeffery signs franchise tag tender

Move means WR all but certain to be back in 2016

By NATE ATKINS

natkins@chicagofootball.com The big question about where Alshon Jeffery will be next season now has a little more clarity. With a day to go before free agency opens, the fifth-year receiver signed his franchise tag tender with the Bears on Tuesday, all but ensuring he’ll remain with the organization for at least the 2016 season.

Jeffery will make $14.6 million in 2016 if he stays under the current tag. He has until July 15 to work out a long-term deal with the Bears, or he can play under the tag salary for 2016. If another team offers him a long-term deal and the Bears choose not to match it, they will receive two first-round picks under the nonexclusive tag guidelines.

There wasn’t an expectation that Jeffery would hold out and miss any part of the offseason training program, which begins April 18, with OTAs starting in May, but this increases the likelihood he will be in attendance.

The 6-foot-3, 216-pound Jeffery was entering a critical offseason after the strange year he had last season, when he finished eighth in the NFL with 89.7 receiving yards a game but only played in nine contests, dinged up all preseason

Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery picks up a first down against the Packers on Sept. 13 at Soldier Field. Jeffery on Tuesday signed a franchise tag tender from the Bears. and regular season with various soft-tissue injuries. Given that it was only his fourth year in the league and first as the team’s No. 1 receiver, it made evaluating his long-term prospects difficult for second-year general manager Ryan Pace.

The Bears drafted Jeffery in the sec-

ond round out of South Carolina in 2012.

He has shown his potential with the organization, posting 1,421 yards and seven touchdowns in 2013 and 1,133 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014, although that was with All-Pro Brandon Marshall drawing coverage on the opposite side.

The franchise tag gives the Bears an opportunity to evaluate Jeffery further as a No. 1 receiver. He’ll enter next season with Kevin White flanking him.

White was the No. 7 overall pick in last year’s draft but sat out his rookie season with a stress fracture in his shin.

LB Trevathan likely to join Bears

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears are a “clear favorite” to sign Broncos inside linebacker Danny Trevathan, according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post.

Considered the top inside linebacker on the market, Trevathan would reunite with John Fox, the coach who drafted him in the fifth round of the 2012 draft and turned him into a 16game starter in 2013, when Trevathan racked up 129 tackles, 10 passes defensed, three interceptions and three AP file photo forced fumbles.

The Broncos’ Danny Trevathan holds the “Coach Fox is one of the guys who ball after recovering a fumble by teammate gave me an opportunity to showcase T.J. Ward against the Panthers in Super how I can fit in any scheme,” Trevathan told reporters before Super Bowl Bowl 50 on Feb. 7 in Santa Clara, Calif.

50. “I’m sure it’ll be there. I’m sure we’ll end up talking.”

A 6-foot-1, 240-pounder out of Kentucky, Trevathan started 15 games last season and had 109 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions. Trevathan had eight tackles in the Super Bowl victory. He turns 26 on March 24.

The Bears’ inside linebackers under contract are Christian Jones, Lamin Barrow, John Timu and Jonathan Anderson. Shea McClellin’s contract expires Wednesday, but he might return.

Another player Fox brought into the league will not come to Chicago.

Malik Jackson agreed to terms on a $90 million contract with the Jaguars, according to multiple reports.

The Bears’ defense will have options up front, including former Patriots

and Saints defensive lineman Akiem Hicks. The Bears are one of multiple teams to show interest in Hicks, a 6-5, 324-pounder who was traded from the Saints to the Patriots last season. Hicks was a third-round pick by the Saints in 2012 when Bears general manager Ryan Pace and director of player personnel Josh Lucas were in New Orleans.

Hicks had three sacks for the Patriots last year and had his best season in 2013 with the Saints, when he started every game and had 56 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

Chiefs defensive lineman Jaye Howard is the other top five-technique available in free agency.

Teams can sign free agents to contracts starting at 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Ask the chefs

I have been asked to buy a new nonstick skillet (large size) for my parents’ vacation home. I am overwhelmed with what’s out there and have no idea what to buy.

I’m really happy with my 12inch Calphalon. The company makes a frying pan and also the one I own, which is what they call the Signature 12-inch Omelette Pan. Mine has a lid, but you can get the frying pan with one, too. I’ve found the lid really handy for certain recipes.

Recipes frequently call for pecorino cheese, but I don’t see it in the supermarket.

Where does one get it?

Most of the time I see it as pecorino-Romano, situated near the Parmigiano-Reggiano. It often comes pre-grated.

Porcelain cookware creates grill-braised pork

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Recently, I went to France to test drive some porcelain cookware. I wanted to see how it handled my favorite cooking method – grilling.

For inspiration, I headed to the famed indoor food market, Les Halles de LyonPaul Bocuse. The meat was displayed like jewels and treated as such. After speaking with a butcher, I settled on a beautiful piece of pork. It was long and oval with a thin fat cap on top. Perfect for grill-braising. In the U.S., this cut is sold as a pork roast or a pork center loin roast. You also can use a traditional pork loin, or a crown roast of pork, which is simply a bone-in pork loin.

Whatever you buy, try to get a piece of pork that still has a thin layer of fat on the top. This will help keep the lean meat moist during cooking, as well as add flavor.

As I tested recipes and cookware, my goal was to keep things simple. I started by placing shallots on the bottom of the dish to elevate the meat, like an edible roasting rack. This offered the added bonus that the meat produced its own sauce during cooking. Beer was my choice of braising liquid, as I like the bold, yeasty flavor. But you could use wine and/or chicken broth, or even apple cider. Just remember the braising liquid is a key flavor ingredient, so it

will alter the taste of the dish.

This very simple recipe is soul satisfying, and the combination of herbs de Provence, shallots and beer tastes far more complex than the simple combination suggests. The best part of the dish is the bed of shallots that melt into a ragout-like sauce as the pork cooks. You slice the roast, then just stir the pan juices and soft shallots together to make a pan sauce.

Grill-Braised Pork With Shallots And Herbes De Provence Start to finish: 2 hours 20 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 12

6- to 8-pound pork roast, fat left on the top Olive oil Fleur de sel (or other large, flaked salt) 12 to 15 large shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence 1 teaspoon kosher salt Two 12-ounce bottles beer Prepare a grill for medium-high heat, indirect cooking. For charcoal, this means banking the hot coals to one side of the grill and cooking on the other side. For gas, turn off one or more burners to create a cooler side, then cook on that side.

Use paper towels to pat dry the pork roast.

Drizzle the roast with oil on all sides, then

season with fleur de sel. Set aside.

In a large, oval Dutch oven, arrange the shallots in an even layer, cut sides down. Sprinkle the shallots with herbes de Provence and kosher salt. Drizzle all over with olive oil. Place the pork roast on top of the shallots, fat side up.

The shallots will hold the pork off the bottom of the pot.

Pour 1 beer into the pot. You want about 1½ to 2 inches of liquid on the bottom. Add more beer during cooking as needed to keep the dish moist. You never want the bottom of the dish to be dry.

Place the lid on the pot and set on the cooler side of the grill. Let cook for 1 hour. Remove the lid and cook for another 30 to 40 minutes. The fat cap will begin to brown and look crispy. Return the lid to the pot and cook for another 40 minutes, or until the pork reaches 135 degrees F. The pork is done when the meat is completely white and the fat is golden brown.

Let the roast rest in the pan, covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board.

Skim the fat from the juices in the pan, then stir the shallots and pan juices together to make a sauce. Slice the roast and arrange on serving plates. Top with the sauce.

This is one of those recipes that makes you feel like a bit of a genius, because it’s so easy, requires so little active time and tastes like you worked your little fingers to the bone.

This is the pleasure of a few ingredients that play interestingly off one another, here providing a balance of sweet (honey), rich (butter), herby (oregano) and spicy (cayenne). Serve this with a salad and rice or another grain or starch of your choice. Other good accompaniments would be roasted tomatoes or peppers, grilled zucchini and onions, or sautéed spinach.

Leftovers are very welcome, perfect when thinly sliced in a sandwich or chopped into stir-fried rice.

The sauce includes harissa paste, a fragrant, spicy chili paste that includes hot chili peppers (usually smoked), garlic, olive oil and spices such as cumin, coriander, caraway and sometimes herbs. Look for it in the grocer’s international aisle.

Honey-Oregano Pork Loin Start to finish: 1 hour 40 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 10

Honey-Oregano Pork Loin AP photo

For the pork: 4-pound center cut pork loin Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup honey 3 tablespoons minced fresh oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock

For the sauce: 1/2 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons harissa paste 1 teaspoon lime juice Kosher salt and ground black pepper Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Use paper towels to pat dry the pork loin, then season it generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a heavy, oven-safe skillet over high.

Add the oil and as soon as it is hot add the pork and sear on all sides, turning it four times, for about 3 minutes per side, or until the outside is all nicely browned and a bit crusty.

Transfer the pork to a plate, pour off the remaining oil in the pan, then return the pan to medium heat. Add the butter, honey, oregano and cayenne. When the mixture starts to bubble (don’t let the honey burn) return the pork loin to the pan, roll the pork in the butter mixture, using tongs, even dipping the ends into the pan sauce. Place the pork in the middle of the pan and add the chicken broth.

Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, or until it reaches 145 degrees F. at the thickest part. Turn the roast after the first 30 minutes of cooking.

While the pork is cooking, in a small bowl mix together the sour cream, harissa, lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste.

Remove the pork from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before thinly slicing. Serve with the sauce.

4 simple hacks for a leaner, tastier beef roast

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

In the world of beef roasts, marbling is king.

The internal automatic basting power of tiny fat pockets melting into the meat is amazing.

So what are the options for roasting healthier, leaner cuts of meat? There’s the pork tenderloin, which is the leanest choice. But it is so mild in flavor it sometimes doesn’t quite scratch the roast beefy itch. There’s beef tenderloin, which also is super lean and a mighty tasty roast. But I can only imagine a world where I could justify spending over $100 on my family’s dinner on a regular basis.

So for our usual Sunday supper, I turn to the top round or bottom round roasts, which are inexpensive and lean.

But they do require a little extra HEALTHY care to compete with the flavor PICK and texture of fattier cuts closer to the center of the cow.

After years of practice, I have a few tips: • If you can dry age the roast for a couple of days in the refrigerator, the taste will be intensified and mimic higher quality cuts. Just pat the meat dry, sprinkle on some seasoning salt (or salt and pepper) and let it sit, uncovered, in the refrigerator.

• Let the roast sit at room temperature for an hour before cooking.

• Use a three-phase cooking method. First, brown the roast on all sides in a large Dutch oven to create a tasty crust. Second, slow-roast at a low temp (250 degrees F.) until the internal temperature is about 10 degrees below your final liking (120 degrees F. for a final temp of 130 degrees F., about medium-rare). Remove the roast, and raise the oven temperature to 475 degrees F. and finish the roast with a blast of heat for 10 minutes.

• Tent the roast and let it rest for 10 to 20 minutes before slicing thinly. Pour a little juice over those slices, and you are in (thrifty, healthy) beefy nirvana.

Lean Roast Beef With Marsala Gravy

Start to finish: 2½ hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 2½- to 3-pound top or bottom round beef roast 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (such as Lawry’s Seasoned Salt) 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 cup beef stock, divided 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine, divided 1 teaspoon cornstarch Use paper towels to pat the roast dry. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, seasoning salt and pepper, then rub the mixture all over the roast. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over mediumhigh. Rub the oil over the roast, then set into the pan and sear on all sides until a crust is formed, about 15 minutes total. Transfer the roast to a rack fitted in a roasting pan.

Return the pan to the heat and pour in 1/2 cup of water.

Simmer, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon, just until

the pan is deglazed and any bits on the bottom are loosened.

Pour the liquid into the roasting pan. Add half of the beef stock and marsala wine to the roasting pan. Set the roast in the oven and cook until it reaches 120 degrees F. to 125 degrees F. at the center, depending on desired finished temperature (which will be 10 degrees higher), about 1½ hours.

Remove the pan from the oven and increase the heat to 475 degrees F. Once the temperature has been reached, place the roast back in the oven and cook until the top is nice and crusty, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, transfer the roast to a carving board, cover it loosely with foil and let

it rest while you make the gravy.

To make the gravy, place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the remaining wine and stock, then whisk to release any stuck bits on the pan. In a small glass, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water, then add to the pan. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.

Slice the roast and serve with the gravy.

6-ingredient Slow Cooker Pulled Pork AP photo

Dinner’s easy with pulled pork

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

Once upon a time (like, yesterday) I had a hefty hunk of pork, no time and no specific thing I wanted to make. But even with so little going for me, and so little inspiration, I did know one thing: A container of homemade shredded pork in the refrigerator means there will be dinner later in the week and that my future frazzled self will look back on my current frazzled self and be grateful.

So I seared the pork, tossed in some garlic and chicken broth, and tossed the whole thing into the slow cooker for a while. For very little hands-on effort, I was richly rewarded. A delicious, tender, falling apart pork bathed in an equally delicious sauce. And it took just six ingredients – a number that includes the salt and pepper.

If you want a bit more flavor, you can throw in some branches of fresh oregano or other herbs when you add the chicken broth. A diced onion or can of diced tomatoes would be delightful, too. But they are hardly essential.

Now, what to do with this pork? Pile it high on buns for a pulled pork sandwich (and if you need more flavor, a squirt of any kind of barbecue sauce

– Texas-style, Memphis-style, North-Carolina style, your choice – will tie it all together). Or go Asian by mixing in a bit of hoisin sauce and serve in lettuce wraps with some fresh ginger, mint and shredded carrot. It also would be great added to a stir-fry. Or do the taco or enchilada thing, or add it to a lasagna or some manicotti.

The options last as long as the pork does.

6-ingredient Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Start to finish: 6½ hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 10

1 tablespoon olive oil 5- to 6-pound bone-in pork picnic shoulder, skin removed 1½ teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 10 garlic cloves, skin on 3 to 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock, plus more for drizzling In a large skillet over high, heat the oil. Season the pork with the salt and pepper, then add the pork to the skillet and

sear on all sides until very well browned, with a nice outer crust, about 15 minutes in all. After 10 minutes, add the garlic cloves, turning them every once in a while so that they brown on all sides as well.

Transfer the pork, fatty side up, to a 7- to 8-quart slow cooker. Return the skillet to high heat. Add 1 cup of broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any stuck bits. When the skillet bottom looks clean, pour the liquid over the pork, then add another 2 cups of broth to the slow cooker.

Cook for 5½ to 6 hours on high or 9 to 10 hours on low, or until the pork starts to fall apart when prodded with a fork. It should reach at least 170 degrees F. Let the pork rest for 20 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the garlic cloves, then squeeze them out of the papers into the liquid. Transfer the pork to a large bowl or large cutting board, then use 2 forks to pull apart the meat intro shreds. Moisten the meat with the juices in the slow cooker (use as much or as little as you like). Mix well to moisten and flavor the meat with the juices.

CRYSTAL LAKE GARAGE SALE CRYSTAL LAKE – 1675 WARRINGTON LANE ESTATE / MOVING SALE

Michael McClary said, “Irrigation of the land with seawater desalinated by fusion power is ancient. It’s called ‘rain.’”

The Michaels Cue-Bid is pretty ancient because Michael Michaels died in 1965. But it continues to shower good results on users.

If the opener bids one of a suit, and the next player overcalls two of that suit, over one of a minor, he is showing at least 5-5 in the majors; and over a major, at least 5-5 in the other major and either minor. In this case, if the advancer (the Michaels Cue-Bidder’s partner) wishes to ask for the minor, he bids two no-trump.

The intervenor rebids at a minimum level unless he has a strong hand (typically 17 points or more), when he jumps in his minor.

In today’s deal, South leaps to four clubs. Then North scrapes up a raise with his two useful honor cards and ruffing value in spades.

After West leads the heart 10, how should South plan the play?

As dummy’s trumps are so low, declarer should assume that spades are 4-3 and allow for a 4-1 trump break. He wins with dummy’s heart ace, unblocks the spade queen, plays a trump to his hand, ruffs a spade in the dummy, draws the remaining trumps, and runs the spades. He loses only two diamond tricks.

Finally, what would it mean if North had bid three clubs, not two no-trump? In the old days, that would have been natural, showing l-o-n-g clubs. But now, most experts treat that bid as weak, asking partner to pass with clubs or rebid three diamonds. Then, the two-no-trump inquiry promises some game interest.

Black Labrador lost Sunday, February 28th in Marengo, on the north side, Bockman Rd & Standish Rd. One year old male. Name is Pepper.

Very friendly.
