Ex-operator details Hebron plant conditions Describes tense atmosphere she says was intended to push her out of job

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HEBRON – The woman in charge of Hebron’s $4.5 million sewer plant before she stepped down last week

says the facility became an “experimental playground” for a colleague once she clocked out.

Satrina Yates said she quit Tuesday morning after months of unsafe and tense working conditions she

said were aimed at prompting her departure. Among her reasons is an atmosphere fostered by Village President John Jacobson and former village consultant Mike Miller that she said undermined her authority as the plant’s licensed operator and allowed a public works employee below her free rein. “[Miller] was setting me up to run the plant backwards to have violations,” Yates said. “He was telling

me to do things that weren’t right for the plant just to make it not function, not run properly.”

Village Trustee Susan Ritzert said the public works employee was being groomed to take over for Yates, a move she believes Jacobson saw as a money saver. The village of Hebron is gripped by debt to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for nearly the entirety of the loan to pay for the sewer plant.

Jacobson and Miller did not return calls for comment for this story.

Yates was hired by the village in 2006 and had been the wastewater treatment plant’s licensed operator since it was finished a year later.

She was one of the last core employees from a village staff that has seen widespread turnover since Jacobson was elected last spring.

A Horizon Carpentry employee works on a new house in the Talamore Hartford Series of Ryland Homes in Huntley. According to the Ryland Homes website, 33 of the 39 single family homes from $259,990 to $331,990 have been sold at this location and others are currently being built.

Construction restart

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Unfinished subdivisions such as the one on the north side of Woodstock are scattered across McHenry County.

Some are mostly filled while others still look half done with unfinished roads and missing amenities, the result of developers going bankrupt after the housing bubble burst.

But for the first time in years, new homes are going up in some of these subdivisions, including the

Woodstock subdivision called The Sonatas.

The development – along with 10 other communities in the Chicago metropolitan area – was purchased by Ryland Homes from an investment firm that had bought the lots when the previous developer went out of business, said John Carroll, the president of Ryland Home’s Chicago division.

Restarting these communities can be a time-consuming process that requires working closely with the municipalities, but it can also be less expensive than starting

new, Carroll said.

These restarted communities are one of the reasons some municipalities are issuing more building permits for new residential construction.

The recovery has also been tied to a reduction in the number of used homes on the market, Carroll said.

In February, the inventory of homes for sale in McHenry County dropped 17.9 percent to 1,840, down from 2,241 in February 2013.

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk wants the federal government to alert American air travelers about which airports around the world are failing to routinely check passengers for stolen passports.

The Illinois Republican has proposed legislation to require the U.S. State Department to publish a list of airports that do not check passengers’ travel documents against Interpol’s database of lost or stolen passports.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

Choice is clear on term limits There was no shortage of headlines coming out of Springfield last week.

Most notably was the news regarding Chicago pension reform and the death of Michael Madigan’s millionaire tax to fund education.

Madigan’s proposed tax, which would have needed voter approval as a constitutional amendment, was nothing more than a political ploy aimed at Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner. It was a miniature version of a progressive tax.

Madigan blamed Republicans for the millionaire tax going down in flames, which is accurate if by Republicans he meant Democrats.

Seventy-one votes were needed to move the proposed amendment along.

There are 71 Democrats in the House.

So if every Democrat voted along with Madigan, the tax would have passed.

Except Scott Drury, from Highwood, and Jack Franks came out against the tax.

That’s only 69 votes. So Madigan’s shot at Rauner misfired.

One state government-related headline that didn’t receive a lot of attention last week was the release of a Paul Simon Public Policy Institute poll regarding term limits.

According to the polling, six in 10 Illinois voters strongly favor legislative term limits for state lawmakers. The live-interview poll was made up of 1,001 registered voters. It was conducted Feb. 12-25. Land lines and cellphones were included, and the margin of error was plus-minus 3.5 percentage points.

This is an initiative that has bipartisan support in Illinois. And why shouldn’t it? Money has taken over government. Public policy is now based

VIEWS Jason Schaumburg on money, and not the public good.

Short of eliminating money from politics, the best way to limit its influence is through term limits.

I’m well aware of the arguments that we already have “term limits” – it’s called Election Day – and that term limits suck institutional knowledge from government.

One look at the political landscape in Illinois, however, refutes those arguments. How long has Michael Madigan been in office without voters in his district removing him? If a giant unfunded pension liability and billions of dollars in unpaid bills is what institutional knowledge gets us, I suggest that institutional knowledge is a crock.

“Regardless of whom you ask or how you phrase the question, legislative term limits are extraordinarily popular among the Illinois electorate,” said Charlie Leonard, a Simon Institute visiting professor who supervised the poll. “Unable or unwilling to limit their own representatives’ terms through the ballot box, the voters seem to hope a blanket constitutional amendment will do the job for them.”

When asked whether a they would favor or oppose a proposal to limit state legislators to a total of eight years of service in the House or Senate – or a combination of the two – 62 percent of those polled said they strongly favored the proposal. Another 18 percent said they somewhat favored the proposal.

1964 World’s Fair offered preview to future tech

By DEEPTI HAJELA The Associated Press NEW YORK – Video phone calls? Yeah, we do that. Asking computers for information? Sure, several times a day. Colonies on the moon and jet packs as a mode of everyday transportation? OK, maybe not.

The New York World’s Fair of 1964 introduced 51 million visitors to a range of technological innovations and predictions, some that turned out to be right on the money and others that, perhaps thankfully, were way off the mark.

At the Bell System pavilion, engineers touted a “picturephone” that allowed callers to see who they were talking to, a concept that lives on in modern-day apps such as Skype and FaceTime.

At the time, though, picture phones didn’t take off, said Lori Walters, history professor at the University of Central Florida. She attributed that to high setup costs that made them accessible to relatively few. And at a time when many men attended the fair in coat and tie and women in dresses, people weren’t quite ready to be seen on the phone at any hour, in their pajamas or worse.

“We were still a little more of a formal society,” Walters said.

The fair also gave wide exposure to the power of computers, which at the time were seen as huge cabinets of

Walt Disney displays a model of Disney’s “It’s a Small World” attraction from the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Along with three other exhibitions, including one featuring a robotic President Abraham Lincoln, Disney used the opportunity of the fair to test out concepts.

“This is the first time that millions of people had the opportunity to see something that could be described as robotic. The special effects you could see in the World’s Fair blew away what you could see in the movies.”

At the IBM pavilion, visitors saw a computer system in which a machine took in a card with a date written on it and gave back another card with a news story from that date. At the NCR pavilion, a computer would answer scientific questions or give out recipes from a cookbook.

Hmm, asking a computer for information? Well, hello, Google. Hi there, Siri.

That “animatronic” exhibit and three others, including one featuring a robotic President Abraham Lincoln, showed characters moving in lifelike ways, including smiling and blinking.

“This is the first time that millions of people had the opportunity to see something that could be described as robotic. The special effects you could see in the World’s Fair blew away what you could see in the movies,” said Joseph Tirella, author of a book about the fair.

Of course, not everything presented as the way of the future came to pass, as seen in some of the views of the future in the “Futurama 2” ride put together by General Motors. It included scenes of colonies on the moon as well as in Antarctica, huge underwater dwellings and a machine that used a laser to cut through rainforests, leaving behind paved roads.

And don’t forget the jet packs, demonstrated by men who wore them and zoomed around the grounds, but which remain a mode of transport found primarily in science fiction.

Regardless of whether such notions survived, observers say the fair offered a vision of the world’s potential that made it seem like anything was possible.

“It really seems like 50 years ago, we had more exciting visions for 50 years in the future than we do now,” Ritchey said.

“I don’t think it’s a stretch to say in a lot of ways this fair was key to familiarizing people with and really normalizing the concept of working with computers,” said Ryan Ritchey, a Philadelphia filmmaker who’s making a documentary about the fair.

Another bit of technology (along with an annoyingly hard-to-forget song) was introduced by Walt Disney with the “It’s a Small World” attraction: robotic animation.

8TODAY’S TALKER

The Northwest Herald invites you to voice your opinion. Log on to www.

NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:

Which style of beer is your favorite?

About that bipartisan support I mentioned ... 90 percent of Republicans polled were strongly or somewhat in favor of term limits, and 73 percent of Democrats approved of it.

The question was worded the way it was because it reflected the proposal pushed by the group Term Limits and Reform, which is backed by Rauner.

The group is collecting signatures to get a constitutional amendment on the November ballot.

In addition to term limits, the amendment reduces the number of state Senate districts, but each Senate district would have three representative districts instead of two. It also would mandate a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to override a gubernatorial veto. Currently, it takes a 60 percent vote.

I have no opinion regarding legislative districts. I’m not thrilled with the new mandate to override a governor’s veto, but I’m willing to trade that to install term limits. Sure, the governor gets more power, but if a governor’s veto is clearly out of line, conjuring up 67 percent of the House and Senate to override the veto shouldn’t be a problem. Especially if lawmakers are making decisions based on what’s best for their constituents, and not what’s best for their bank accounts.

Term limits would help lawmakers think along those lines.

Unsolved 1987 slaying haunting Victim’s mother skeptical of killer’s claim to massacre

“Tommy [Sells] deserved to die for what he did, but I wanted him to stay alive until I know positively he didn’t do it.”

Joeann Dardeen Mother of Russell “Keith” Dardeen, a victim of the 1987 killing

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – More than a quarter century later, the grisly, unsolved slaughter of Joeann Dardeen’s son, his pregnant wife and their young son in southern Illinois still haunts her.

Bludgeoned with a baseball bat along with her 3-year-old son, 30-year-old Ruby “Elaine” Dardeen gave birth during that 1987 attack in the family’s home in the 2,500-resident village of Ina. The killer took no mercy on the newborn either, ending her life as quickly as it began.

The household’s patriarch, Russell “Keith” Dardeen, turned up dead the next day in a wheat field, his body mutilated.

No one has been brought to justice in the Jefferson County case where the most promising lead was Tommy Lynn Sells’ claim he carried out the killings – among the as many as 70 he took credit for in various states as a drifter and carnival worker. Authorities ultimately linked him to nearly two dozen murders. But because of questions about the veracity of his supposed con-

fession, the Dardeen murders were not among them.

The answer to the question of whether Sells killed the Dardeens or the family’s killer is still on the loose is more elusive than ever. That’s because Sells, at 49, went to his own death earlier this month in a Texas execution chamber for the 1999 stabbing death of an acquaintance’s 13-year-old daughter.

Joeann Dardeen doesn’t believe Sells was the one who wiped out her son’s family.

She dismisses Sells’ claims that Keith Dardeen happened upon Sells at a gas station and invited him home for a threeway tryst with Dardeen’s pregnant wife. Keith Dardeen, the lead singer at a tiny Baptist church where his wife played piano, was too protective of his family to entertain such a thing, his mother says.

“Tommy deserved to die for what he did, but I wanted him to stay alive until I know positively he didn’t do it,” Joeann Dardeen, a 76-year-old from Mount Carmel, Ill., told The Associated Press in a Friday telephone interview.

She sent police to check on her son’s family at their home, 80 miles southeast of St. Louis, on Nov. 17, 1987, after Keith Dardeen failed to show up for work at a local water plant.

Authorities found Elaine Dardeen with her son and her newborn baby all dead and positioned on a waterbed. Hunters found Keith Dardeen’s body the next day a mile away.

“The brutality of the crime was just extreme, so terrible and egregious,” said Gary Duncan, the county’s top prosecutor for 17 years until his 2008 retirement. “It was a constellation of really awful facts.”

Suspects were scarce before Sells got busted in Texas for killing 13-year-old Kaylene Harris by stabbing her 16 times. Sells soon began confessing to killings elsewhere.

The Texas investigator who first arrested Sells in Harris’ death said Sells often claimed he’d wake up in unfamiliar places and have blood on him. He said his tools of death ranged from guns and knives to an ice pick and his

stop on a train journey that began in Arizona.

The suspect is from Rochester in central Illinois.

The charges against him include possession with intent to deliver marijuana.

Authorities say a search of his luggage turned up 589 grams of marijuana, along with more than 60 hydrocodone tablets and one small plastic bag of

cocaine.

bare hands.

In claiming he was to blame for the Dardeen family’s demise, Sells accurately described certain details of the massacre, some of which he could have gleaned from media accounts. When quizzed about details never made public about how Elaine Dardeen’s body was found, Sells initially replied inaccurately, then blurted out the correct response. It’s possible he merely deduced the right answer, Duncan said.

Sells also insisted he shot Keith Dardeen in a certain seat of the victim’s car, but evidence disproved that.

“There was a lot of ambiguity” in his claims, Duncan said. “But there also was nothing about what he said that would make his guilt completely discountable.”

Sells offered to be escorted back to Illinois to show where he hid key evidence, but, said Duncan, “it became clear Texas was not going to let him leave the state.”

So the prosecutor was stymied, unwilling to pin Sells with the Ina killings based on a questionable confession and no physical evidence. He could have been the killer, Duncan said, but there’s “a fair possibility that the actual killer may still be out there.”

“It’s that kind of case that will haunt everyone involved,” he said. “There’s just no end to that.”

Fort Hood victim, Illinois native laid to rest in Missouri The ASSOCIATED PRESS ROLLA, Mo. – A U.S. Army sergeant killed in last week’s shooting in Fort Hood, Texas, was buried Saturday in the Missouri town where he went to high school and met his wife.

Sgt. Timothy Owens, originally from Effingham, Ill., was among three soldiers killed April 2 when a gunman fired on the military base. Sixteen others were wounded before the gunman committed suicide.

The 37-year-old Owens, who served in Iraq and Kuwait, was buried in Rolla, Mo., where he lived in the 1990s.

The Rolla Daily News reported that as many as 75 motorcyclists from the Rolla Patriot Guard Riders accompanied the casket before the service at Rolla’s First Baptist Church and afterward, to Lake Springs Cemetery in rural Phelps County.

As the casket left the church, Patriot Guard Riders, law enforcement officers and residents lined the sidewalk outside and saluted.

Rolla resident Bill Dobkins, a member of the Rolla Patriot Guard Riders, said

he was once a neighbor of Owens’ wife and babysat for her.

“They were like family,” Dobkins said of the former Billie Humphrey’s family.

Taking part in the escort was a “real honor” and a “humbling experience,” Dobkins said.

Owens, who dropped out of high school in 1995, earned an equivalency diploma after joining the Army in 2004.

He enlisted as a motor transport operator and did some of his training at southern Missouri’s Fort Leonard Wood. He was most recently in the 154th Transportation Company in the 49th Movement Control Battalion in the 13th Sustainment Command at Fort Hood.

Owens was deployed to Iraq from January to December 2005. He later served in Kuwait from January to December 2010.

The Fort Hood gunman was identified as Spc. Ivan Antonio Lopez, 34. There was a wake Friday for Lopez in Puerto Rico. A family spokesman said he was scheduled to be buried Saturday in his hometown of Guayanilla.

Ill. man sentenced to 10 years in pipe-bomb case URBANA – A Bloomington man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after being convicted of putting a pipe bomb in a mailbox.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release Friday that 47-year-old Lloyd B. Lockwood

was convicted in August 2013 of possession of an unregistered destructive device and being a felon in possession of a destructive device. He was sentenced Thursday in Urbana.

According to court records, Lockwood was arrested in September 2012 after putting the pipe bomb in the mailbox of a home in Decatur in March 2011.

The Justice Department says

Lockwood was initially released on bond, but has been in federal custody since January 2013 after violating an order of protection filed against him.

Illinois inmates help in pre-emptive sandbagging DU QUOIN – With flood season approaching, Illinois prison inmates are helping restock the supply of sandbags for make-

The Carbondale Southern Illinoisan reported that Du Quoin-based prisoners convicted of nonviolent offenses have stuffed about 126 tons of sand into about 12,000 sandbags.

It is part of a collaboration between the state Department of Corrections, the Du Quoin State Fair and Nikki’s Place.

By FENIT NIRAPPIL and JOAN LOWY The Associated Press RED BLUFF, Calif. – Federal investigators could not corroborate on Saturday a driver’s claim that a FedEx tractor-trailer was already on fire before it careened across a freeway median, sideswiped her car and slammed into a bus carrying high school students, killing 10 people in a fiery wreck.

Investigators were still looking for more witnesses to the Thursday crash, National Transportation Safety Board member Mark Rosekind said.

They also plan to conduct tests to determine if the truck driver inhaled smoke before the collision and search for evidence of a fire at the crash scene before the vehicles exploded into towering flames and billowing black smoke.

Investigators also found no signs that the truck driver attempted to brake before the crash. They found no tire marks as the truck careened across Interstate 5 and slammed into the bus taking the students to a tour of Humboldt State University in Northern California. Five students, three adult chaperones and both drivers died.

Rosekind said the bus driver had relieved another driver whose shift ended during a stop in Sacramento.

Joe and Bonnie Duran, the Seattle-area couple who were in the car, said, like the bus, they were northbound on Interstate 5 on Thursday afternoon. Bonnie Duran, who was driving, told KNBC-TV in Los Angeles that flames were coming from the lower rear of the truck cab.

“I just looked to the left, and there it was coming

Abortion in cases of rape: New feuds in old debate

By DAVID CRARY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Poll after poll over many years has shown that Americans overwhelmingly support legal access to abortion for women impregnated by rape. Yet the issue remains divisive, as demonstrated by two current rifts – one involving U.S. aid policy overseas, the other highlighting strategy differences within the U.S. anti-abortion movement.

The National Right to Life Committee recently voted to cut ties with one of its most zealous state affiliates, Georgia Right to Life. The move, which angered many anti-abortion activists nationwide, came after the affiliate defied instructions to endorse an anti-abortion bill in Congress because it included exceptions for rape and incest.

Georgia Right to Life’s

president, Dan Becker, described the March 29 ouster as “a tragedy” but said his group would stick by its 14-year-old policy of consistently opposing exceptions for rape and incest. “GRTL will stand true to its mission and not be swayed by the prevailing political winds,” Becker said.

David O’Steen, executive director of National Right to Life, said his group and Becker’s share a long-term goal of eliminating abortion. But short-term, he said, the national group is willing to support legislation that reduces the number of abortions, even if they have rape and incest exceptions.

Meanwhile, a loose coalition of abortion-rights and women’s-rights activists is growing increasingly frustrated with President Barack Obama’s administration. Despite years of lobbying, the activists have failed to persuade

Obama to issue an executive order stipulating that U.S. foreign aid – though prohibited

by Congress from subsidizing abortions as a method of family planning – could be used to provide abortions for women raped in wars.

The New York-based Global Justice Center, leading the push for an executive order, says many thousands of woman have been impregnated by rapists during recent conflicts in Rwanda, Bosnia, Congo, Syria and elsewhere, and yet most major international humanitarian organization balk at offering abortions for fear of jeopardizing their U.S. funding.

“Since the U.S. is the largest humanitarian aid donor, its abortion ban has become the de facto policy in most war zones where rape is used as a weapon of war,” said the center’s legal director, Akila Radhakrishnan.

transferred to juvenile court. To get the case moved, the attorney will have to show Hribal has a better chance of rehabilitation in the juvenile system than in adult court.

shootings that have been reported since March 8 are connected but wouldn’t elaborate. Most of the shootings, in which three people have been wounded, are in an area on the city’s south side known both as Three Trails Crossing and the Grandview Triangle, where three interstate highways and U.S. 50 intersect.

“It doesn’t bother me none. If he shoots me he shoots me,” said Kathy Embley, of nearby Overland Park, Kan. She drives through the area at least a couple times a week, and said she won’t alter that.

flames as it came through the median. ... It wasn’t like the whole thing was engulfed.

It was coming up wrapping around him.”

Initial reports by police indicated the truck swerved to avoid a sedan that was traveling in the same direction in this town about 100 miles

north of Sacramento, then went across the median. Officer Lacey Heitman, a spokeswoman for California Highway Patrol, said she could not confirm if the truck was on fire before the collision until all evidence was gathered.

Federal investigators also recovered an electronic control module from the bus, but do not know what information it contains. They were not able to recover such equipment from the FedEx truck tractor, a 2007 Volvo, but may be able to calculate speed and maneuvering using the transmission and marks in steering box.

But in addition to the cause of the crash, federal transportation authorities are examining whether fire safety measures they previously recommended for motor coaches could have allowed more of the 48 bus occupants to escape unharmed.

Bodies recovered from the bus were charred beyond recognition. Dozens of students had injuries including burns, and several remained hospitalized.

‘Obamacare’ prime target for 2016 GOP presidential contenders eye law, White House

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. – Republicans eyeing the 2016 White House race battered President Barack Obama’s health care law and nicked each other Saturday, auditioning before a high-profile gathering of conservatives that some political veterans said marked the campaign’s unofficial start.

A speaking program

packed with potential presidential candidates weighed in on the House Republicans’ controversial budget, the party’s struggle with Hispanics, the GOP’s future and the upcoming midterm elections while taking turns on a conference room stage facing hundreds of conservative activists gathered in New Hampshire’s largest city.

But the Republican Party’s near-universal opposition to the president’s health care law dominated the conversation just days after Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius resigned after leading the rocky rollout of the program derided as “Obamacare.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz declared that one resignation is not enough. “We are going to repeal every single word of Obamacare,” said the firstterm senator and tea party favorite.

Another tea party favorite, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, insisted that the GOP must broaden its appeal in order to grow. The Republican Party, he said, cannot be a party of “fat cats, rich people and Wall Street.”

As potential presidential candidates jockey for position, the stakes are high for the November’s midterm elections, where Republicans are fighting to claim the Senate majority.

Consumers, restaurants react to surge in beef prices

By BETSY BLANEY The Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas – The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of grilling season, causing sticker shock for both consumers and restaurant owners – and relief isn’t likely anytime soon.

A dwindling number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average retail cost of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.

Everything that’s produced is being consumed, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. And prices likely will stay high for a couple of years

as cattle producers start to rebuild their herds amid big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain to replenish pastures.

Meanwhile, quick trips to the grocery store could drag on a little longer as shoppers search for cuts that won’t break the budgets. Patrons at one market in Lubbock seemed resigned to the high prices, but not happy.

“I quit buying steaks a while ago when the price went up,” said 59-year-old Lubbock resident Len Markham, who works at Texas Tech. She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger, opting for chicken, pork and fish instead.

Fellow Lubbock resident Terry Olson says she buys chicken and eggs now.

“I don’t buy (red) meat,

period,” the 67-year-old said, admitting an occasional hamburger purchase. “Not like I used to because of the price.”

Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owner of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. He tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing costs on to customers.

“It really squeezes the small guys more,” he said of nonchain restaurants. “You just can’t keep going up on people forever. I just think you have to stay competitive and keep your costs low.”

The high prices are welcome news for at least one group: ranchers, especially those in Texas who for years have struggled amid drought and high feed prices.

The lights of Williston, N.D. shine Feb. 25 in the background of oil pumps. Williston is the hub of North Dakota’s oil boom – a boom that some say could go on for decades, as new technology has made it possible to drill for oil that had been difficult to reach.

Drug trade grows in small-town oil patch Local police struggle with influx of crime

By SHARON COHEN The Associated Press WILLISTON, N.D. – The blood-drenched man had survived a brutal attack: Beaten with brass knuckles, shocked with a stun gun, slashed with a razor blade, then dumped 40 miles away in Montana, he staggered to a farmhouse for help. His path eventually led authorities back to a quiet backyard in this oil boom town.

What they uncovered was a large-scale methamphetamine ring that had found a home in a state long known for its small-town solitude, its slow pace and peaceful pastures.

The members of this violent gang were all relative newcomers to Williston.

They called themselves “The Family,” the feds say, and were holed up in a few campers tucked behind an innocent-looking, white-frame house. They had plenty of firepower, too: One of the men had an arsenal of 22 weapons.

Authorities say several “Family” members had abducted and planned to kill one of their own, seeking to enforce their code of silence out of fear he’d spill the group’s secrets. They assaulted him in a camper in Williston, stuffed him into a plastic-lined car trunk, then beat him again after he escaped. He was left for dead in a Montana field. He wound up, instead, in a North Dakota hospital, telling the FBI his story.

The result: Seven guilty pleas. Prison sentences of up to 20 years. And the dismantling of a drug trafficking ring that sold meth for more than a year in one of the fast-

est-growing corners of America.

The oil boom in the Bakken shale fields has touched off an explosion of growth and wealth on this remote windswept prairie. Big money is raining down in small towns.

Oil rigs light up the night sky. But the bonanza suddenly flourishing here has also brought with it a dark side: a growing trade in meth, heroin, cocaine and marijuana, the shadow of sinister cartels and newfound violence.

Small-town police forces have been struggling to keep pace. In nearby Watford City, for instance, police calls for service have multiplied at a staggering rate – almost 100 times – in a five-year period. County jails overflow on weekend nights. Local sheriffs no longer know every name and face when they stroll down Main Street.

Drugs and dealers are popping up in all kinds of places: Heroin is being trafficked on isolated Indian reservations.

Mexican cartels are slowly making inroads in small-town America. And hardcore criminals are bringing drugs in from other states, sometimes concealing them in ingenious ways: liquid meth in windshield wiper reservoirs.

“Organized drug dealers are smart,” says U.S. Attorney Tim Purdon. “They’re good businessmen. They go where the demand is and that’s what we’re seeing here. ... There’s simply a lot of money involved, a lot of money flowing around in those communities.”

With the problems becoming more pronounced, the feds are pouring in resources to bolster local police and drug task forces.

“We’re battling our butts off to stay ahead of this,” Purdon says. “Our concern is that this is an open market and as people start to compete, the violence will increase. ...

There’s nothing less at stake here than our way of life.”

Iran: No plans to name new diplomat to U.N.

Aussie PM warns of long hunt ahead for airliner PERTH, Australia – A day after expressing optimism about the hunt for the missing Malaysian jet, Australia’s leader warned Saturday that the massive search would likely continue “for a long time.”

“No one should underestimate the difficulties of the task still ahead of us,” Prime Minister Tony Abbott said in Beijing, on the last day of his China trip.

Abbott appeared to couch his comments from a day earlier, when he met in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping to brief him on the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which was carrying 239 people

jerdi as saying Saturday.

“The Iranian government should stand up to this U.S. bullying.”

Boroujerdi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, urged Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to write to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to fight the U.S. decision.

Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was quoted

by Iran’s semiofficial Mehr news agency as saying officials would pursue the issue “through anticipated legal channels at the U.N.” Aboutalebi is alleged to have participated in a Muslim student group that held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days during the embassy takeover. He has insisted his involvement in the group Muslim Students Following the Imam’s Line was limited to translation and negotiation. Iran says he is one of the country’s best diplomats, and that he previously received a U.S. visa. He already served at Iranian diplomatic mis-

sions in Australia, Belgium and Italy.

As host country for the United Nations, the U.S. must allow persons invited to the New York headquarters to enter the country. However, exceptions can be made when a visa applicant is found to have engaged in spying against the U.S. or poses a threat.

Denying visas to U.N. ambassadorial nominees or to foreign heads of state who want to attend United Nations events in the U.S. is extremely rare, though there appears to be precedent. According to a paper published by the Yale Law School, the United States rejected several Iranians appointed to the U.N. in the 1980s who had played roles in the embassy hostage crisis or other acts against American citizens.

But after more than three decades of discord, U.S. and Iranian officials have started having occasional direct contact, including a phone call last fall between Obama and new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

judge dismissed an attempted murder charge Saturday that police lodged against a 9-month-old boy, ending a bizarre case that drew new criticism to the country’s troubled criminal justice system.

The family of toddler Mohammad Musa had kept the boy in hiding after authorities pressed charges accusing him of trying to kill police officers after a neighborhood brawl in Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore.

Judge Rafaqat Ali Qamar dropped the case against the boy during a hearing in which police announced they would no longer pursue the charges, defense lawyer Irfan Tarar said.

Hamid Aboutalebi, an Iranian diplomat, who was recently named as Iran’s ambassador at the United Nations, speaks at his office Feb. 6 in Tehran, Iran. Iran has no plans to name a new diplomat to the United Nations, its Foreign Ministry said Saturday, after the United States blocked its pick.

adno=0266629

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran rejected naming a new diplomat Saturday to represent it at the United Nations, with one lawmaker urging the Islamic Republic to stand up to “bullying” from the U.S., which has rejected granting its pick a visa.

The standoff over Hamid Aboutalebi, a member of the group responsible for the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, comes as world powers negotiate with Iran over its contested nuclear program. It also threatens to stir fresh animosity between countries that recently have seen their relations thaw.

The Obama administration said Friday that the U.S. had informed Iran it would not grant a visa to Aboutalebi, suggesting that behindthe-scenes discussions to get them to withdraw him from consideration failed. On Saturday, Iranian state television anchors discussed the U.S. reject, with a crawl at the bottom of the screen reading: “The Foreign Ministry says Aboutalebi is Iran’s only choice as its U.N. envoy.”

Prominent lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi said the U.S. had no right to intervene in Iran’s U.N. envoy pick.

“Naming Aboutalebi as Iran’s U.N. envoy has nothing to do with the U.S. American opposition to Aboutalebi’s entry is a misuse of the geographical location of the U.N.,” the Iranian parliament’s website quoted Borou-

Hezbollah develops new tactics in Syria

By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press

Armed pro-Russian activists occupy the police station carrying riot shields Saturday in the eastern Ukraine town of Slovyansk.

Uniformed men occupy police HQ in Donetsk

By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Men in the uniforms of Ukraine’s now-defunct riot police on Saturday occupied police headquarters in Donetsk, the eastern city that is one of the flashpoints of a wave of pro-Russia protests, hours after armed men seized local police headquarters and a local branch of the Security Service in a nearby city.

Interior Minister Arsen Avakov described the unrest as “Russian aggression” and said Ukraine’s security officials would be gathering for an extraordinary meeting late Saturday evening.

In a phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry “expressed strong concern” that the attacks “were orchestrated and synchronized, similar to previous attacks in eastern Ukraine and Crimea,” according the State Department.

Kerry “made clear that if Russia did not take steps to de-escalate in eastern Ukraine and move its troops back from Ukraine’s border, there would be additional consequences,” the department said.

The Russian news agency Itar-Tass, citing Russia’s Foreign Ministry, said Kerry “could not give any concrete facts” to support his allegations. The news agency said Lavrov told Kerry that the crisis in Ukraine was because of the failure of the Ukrainian government “to take into account the legitimate needs and interests of the Russian and Russian-speaking population.”

The unrest in Donetsk and the city of Slovyansk, about 55 miles to the north, were the latest shows of spiraling anger in eastern Ukraine, which

has a large Russian-speaking population and also was the support base for Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian president who was ousted in February after months of protests in the capital, Kiev. Ethnic Russians in Ukraine’s east widely fear that the authorities who took over after Yanukovych’s fall will suppress them.

In Slovyansk, the mayor said the men who seized the police station were demanding a referendum on autonomy and possible annexation

by Russia. Protesters in other eastern cities have made similar demands after a referendum in Crimea last month in which voters opted to split off from Ukraine, leading to annexation by Russia.

Witnesses said the men who entered the police building in Donetsk were wearing the uniforms of the Berkut, the feared riot police squad that was disbanded in February after Yanukovych’s ouster. Berkut officers’ violent dispersal of a demonstration in Kiev in November set off vast protests in the capital that culminated in bloodshed in February when more than 100 people died in sniper fire; the acting government says the snipers were police.

It was not immediately clear if the men who occupied the Donetsk police building had made any demands, but the Donetsk police chief said on national television that he was forced to offer his resignation. Interfax Ukraine reported that pro-Russian protesters had invited the former police chief to resume his duties.

In Slovyansk, about 20 men in balaclavas and armed with automatic rifles and pistols were guarding the entrance to the police station in the city of about 120,000 people, and another 20 were believed to be inside.

BEIRUT – The commandos infiltrated Syrian rebel-held territory near the Lebanese border, watching rebel fighters come and go from a two-story villa before slipping inside to plant a powerful bomb. The next morning, they detonated it as three rebel explosive experts and four assistants met inside, turning the villa to rubble in seconds.

The operation late last month in Syria’s western Qalamoun region was carried out by fighters from Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group, several Lebanese officials close to the militants have told The Associated Press. The Shiite group has sent hundreds of its fighters into Syria to shore up President Bashar Assad’s overstretched troops, helping them gain ground around the capital, Damascus, and near the Lebanese border.

But with its own casualties mounting in a civil war that activists say has killed more than 150,000 people in three years, officials said Hezbollah has turned to a variety of new tactics – including complicated commando operations – to hunt down rebels and opposition commanders.

The aim of the new strategy, that includes hit-and-run attacks as well as reconnaissance missions, is to help

Hezbollah fighters walk through a field Friday at the Lebanon-Syria border, near the town of al-Qasr, Lebanon.

“Hezbollah is also well aware of its comparatively limited manpower capacity. So exploiting an ability to inflict damage on the enemy without expending significant resources ... is a natural strategic development.”

Charles Lister, analyst with the Brookings Doha Center Assad hold onto power, limit Hezbollah casualties and attack groups that want to launch attacks inside Lebanon itself.

“Hezbollah is also well aware of its comparatively limited manpower capacity,” said Charles Lister, an analyst with the Brookings Doha Center. “So exploiting an ability to inflict damage on

the enemy without expending significant resources ... is a natural strategic development.”

Hezbollah has a long history of guerrilla attacks. It fought Israel in the wake of its occupation of south Lebanon until it pulled out in 2000, relying on hit-and-run assaults to combat Israel’s army.

In Syria, the turning point in Hezbollah’s strategy came after the group helped secure the Syrian border town of Qusair last June, said the Lebanese officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss Hezbollah military tactics. After that battle, they said rebels ambushed and killed four elite Hezbollah fighters after Syrian troops told them the area was secure.

Now, Hezbollah sends small groups of fighters to observe areas before entering, the officials said. One official said Hezbollah also has linked Syrian territories where it is present to its bases in Lebanon via a secure, hard-wired telecommunication network it has been using back home for years. The fighters avoid using mobile phones or other equipment easy to monitor, the official said.

The attack on the villa in Qalamoun also showcases the turn to commando-style fighting. Syrian state media said Syrian troops carried out the attack. However, the Lebanese daily newspaper Al-Akhbar that is sympathetic to Assad, said both Syrian troops and Hezbollah special forces carried out the attack.

Observers of the group and experts said the Qalamoun attack was consistent with similar operations carried out by Hezbollah in the past.

Less housing options mean more people opting for new construction • DEVELOPMENT Continued from page A1 That translates to about a three- to four-month supply, meaning those homes would sell out in about four months – a sign of an extremely healthy market, said Robert Meyn, the Midwest director of sales and marketing for Orleans Homes.

With the pickings slimmer, more people are opting for new construction, Carroll said.

The city of Woodstock issued a total of 59 permits in 2013, 48 single-family homes and 11 townhouses or other attached single-family homes.

That was up from 37 in 2012 and 27 in 2011.

Huntley, another town Ryland Homes is developing in, also saw a bump last

year. It issued 176 permits for detached and attached single-family homes, the result of a somewhat steady climb from 76 permits in 2009.

Not every municipality is seeing the return of new residential construction, though.

The village of Algonquin issued 77 permits in 2009 but only two permits last year.

Eleven 20-unit apartment buildings were approved in 2012 but no single-family houses.

The city of McHenry has seen the number of permits it issues hover around six to eight for the last four years, though 12 permits were issued for multi-family homes in 2013 after three years of no permits.

McHenry County is also seeing a slight rebound, returning to 2009-2010 numbers.

“My concern is that Americans should know when they fly to those countries that do not routinely use [Interpol’s] database,” Kirk said.

The senator was joined Friday by University of Chicago professor Robert Pape, director of the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism.

Pape said terrorist groups already use stolen passports and will no doubt have taken note of the revelation during the airline investigation that few countries check the Interpol database.

Publishing a list of airports with weak controls could prompt more countries to tighten their procedures and close this loophole, Pape said.

“Once we make this information public, then what we’re likely to see is a number of reverberations, positive benefits from this,” Pape said.

The county issued 27 permits in 2013, up from 12 in 2012.

The issue is that even though the market for new homes is starting to return, it’s not enough to hit every community, Carroll said.

Meyn expects the market to continue to improve and eventually spread to more towns.

With prices falling, in-fill locations in suburbs closer to Chicago and other work places became a better value, he said. Those areas have recovered first, which has meant that outer areas like those in McHenry County haven’t recovered as much.

“I think to expect a return to peak housing levels, I don’t know if any of us will see that again in our lifetimes, but I certainly see a healthy market returning,” Meyn said.

Knee Pain?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

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

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

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

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

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

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

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

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

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, 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.

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 CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS? The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown.

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

Will my Pain go away Over Time? ✔ Do you wake up with knee pain? ✔ Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? ✔ Have you been told you need a knee replacement? ✔ Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? ✔ Do you take medications for knee pain? ✔ Do you have difficulty going up and down stairs due to knee pain? ✔ Are you considering surgery to alleviate knee pain? ✔ Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain with out success?

If you answered yes to at least 4 of these questions, you are ready to experience the relief and healing found at Superior Health & Wellness.

Start living your life

PAIN FREE!

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

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

THANK YOU for helping me.”

--Joann F.

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

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

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

Term limits over donor limitations There’s no doubt that money influences politics – in big ways.

Big money influences politics in even bigger ways, sometimes leading to corruption.

That’s why there are federal caps on the amount of money someone can donate to a single candidate – now $2,600 for U.S. president or members of Congress.

But limiting the overall amount of money an individual can donate in a given For the record year to multiple candidates, poWe agree with the recent litical parties and U.S. Supreme Court decision political action striking down limits on the committees is overall campaign contributions an infringement an individual can make. on Americans’ First Amendment rights, whether Michael we like the role Madigan money plays in The longpolitics or not. time House That’s why we Speaker is the agree with the poster child recent ruling by for term limits in Illinois. the U.S. Supreme Court that strikes down federal limits on the overall campaign contributions an individual donor can make each election cycle.

If someone wants to donate the individual limit of $2,600 to all Democrats or all Republicans running for Congress in a given year, they should be allowed to do so without worrying about an overall cap, which had been set at $123,200 until last week’s ruling.

While we are worried about how those with big pockets can influence policy in Washington D.C., Springfield, or even locally, we think there’s a better way to reduce that influence than curbing individual freedoms – term limits.

While not perfect themselves, term limits weed out those politicians who make careers off accepting money from lobbyists and voting accordingly, at the expense of their constituents best interests. Because longtime incumbents are able to amass campaign war chests that they can use to fend off potential challengers, term limits also help to even the playing field somewhat for new candidates.

In Illinois, Speaker of the House Michael Madigan is the poster child for term limits. A member of the state House since 1971, he has been Speaker for all but two years since 1983.

The vast majority of Illinoisans have not been able to cast a single vote either for or against Madigan, yet he holds the real power in Springfield.

Given where this state is financially, most Illinoisans, we suspect, would be in favor of his reign coming to an end.

There’s also plenty of precedent for term limits in the U.S. The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution limits an American president to two elected terms in office, or just one elected term if the president fills at least two years of another elected president’s term.

Thirty-six states have term limits for governor, and 15 states have term limits for their legislative branches.

Bruce Rauner, Republican candidate for Illinois governor, and the Committee for Legislative Reform and Term Limits are gathering signatures in an attempt to get a term limit amendment on the November ballot. We support efforts to give Illinois voters a say, and we’d support a similar effort nationally for members of Congress.

We’ll never fully be able to eliminate money’s influence on our elected officials, but term limits are a better option than curbing First Amendment rights.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Nice gesture To the Editor: Last week, I took my 91-year-old father to get a haircut at Slim’s Barber Shop in Crystal Lake. We didn’t have an appointment and, when we arrived, there were a half-dozen in line ahead of us.

Slim said he could get him in at 1:40 if we could come back.

On our way out, my dad lost his footing and began to fall. I tried to stop him but then we both went down. Several people in the barber shop saw it and came running out to help us up.

When we returned at 1:40 p.m., Adam sat Dad right down and cleaned him up really nice. When I took out my wallet to pay, he said, “It’s already paid for.” When I inquired by whom, he said a Cary firefighter named Nate.

Nate, you paid for a very important cut for my Dad. His wife of more than 70 years just passed the day before. He was getting cleaned up for her memorial.

God bless you, friend!

Ominous warnings To the Editor: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just released its most recent report and, despite well-funded derision from the ultra-conservative Heartland Institute in Forbes Magazine, its warnings are even more ominous to those of us immersed in climate change science. Yet, thanks to Heartland and its ilk, this latest report will probably receive the same response all previous reports have, little media attention and virtually no policy impact.

In 2009, Dr. James Hansen, one of our most eminent climate scien-

tists, wrote a book warning of the potential for climate catastrophe and the collapse of human civilization if we continued with business as usual. A careful reading of his work and even casual scrutiny of our economic trends makes clear that this was not hyperbole. Five years later, the situation is worse.

Global greenhouse gas emissions are higher than ever, and the tipping points he warned of leading to runaway climate change are palpably closer.

Waiting for public officials and business leaders to tell us what to do – even to think – is suicidal.

Only urgent, grassroots activism is going to save the day and our human civilization with it. I strongly recommend everyone reads “Storms of my Grandchildren” by James Hansen, then look up this week’s Slate article summarizing the IPCC 2014 report. Then, critically, get involved in the local activities of 350.org and Citizen’s Climate Lobby.

Those who get their science from business magazines will have much to answer for when our global human ecosystem struggles with collapse.

Punitive policies To the Editor: The April 2 Opinion page had several letters lamenting the demonization of millionaires. It is not millionaires per se, but the political beliefs of many of the wealthy officeholders and seekers that are the issue.

I celebrated Mitt Romney’s business skills when he saved the 2002 Utah Olympics from financial disaster, but was appalled by his dismissal of 47 percent of America as people “who believe that they

are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them” and said, “My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

That attitude toward a broad swath of America leads to punitive and aloof policies that do not care about many people’s lives. If the Republican agenda cared about the success of all Americans, and not primarily protecting the already wealthy, the “demonization” of success would evaporate like morning fog on a summer day.

If anyone is demonized in 2014 America, it is the poor and lower middle class. As an example, millionaire Paul Ryan’s recent budget proposal cuts $5 trillion in spending over 10 years, mostly by again attempting to defund the Affordable Care Act and dramatic cuts to social programs, which would overwhelmingly and negatively affect the lower tiers of society, while reducing the top tax rate to 25 percent, which benefits the rich.

Do you see a pattern here? It is not the wealth that is the problem, it’s the attitude.

and federal debts so no one gets hurt financially. When we contribute money to politicians’ campaign funds to help them get elected, we do so not to make them wealthy or wealthier. After an election is over, whether a candidate wins or loses, all money in their campaign coffers (except for, say, $50,000, to be used toward their next election) must be turned over to the state or federal treasuries. It must be used to pay down the state or federal debts and split equally between public pensions, including teachers’ pensions, and other state or federal debts.

Explanation please To the Editor: I’m not in any way knocking any fire department. I know they all put their lives on the line for all of us.

But can someone please explain when there is some type of accident, such as the car in the pond in Algonquin, why so many other fire departments are called.

In this incident, there were 12 fire departments called for assistance plus a water rescue team, which brought an additional 30 personnel and 11 pieces of equipment. Who pays for all of this? Each town, or the town who put out the call?

Obama, Kerry continue to ignore Palestinians’ doublespeak After his spectacular, but predictable, failure to move forward the “peace process” between Israel and the Palestinian side, Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States will now “evaluate” its role in the Middle East.

Let me help: The peace process in the Middle East isn’t working and it can’t work when one side – that would be the Palestinian leadership – has no intention of settling for anything less than their ultimate goal of removing the Jewish people from the region.

Kerry’s cynical ploy suggesting that convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard could be released from prison in exchange for even more Israeli concessions was another indication of how desperate he is to get something – anything – to work.

The Palestinian side, indeed the entire Arab and Muslim world,

watch this and can only conclude that America is weak and lacks resolve. And they would be right to think so. If anyone can define American foreign policy in the Middle East or anywhere else, please write me.

So much evidence over so many years should prove to anyone who is not in complete denial what the Palestinian side seeks. It is the destruction of Israel, which they believe is their divine mandate. Diplomacy has yet to be developed that can overcome an edict from “God” who commands the eradication of his “enemies.” How do American and Israeli diplomats, who are regarded by fundamentalist Muslims as “infidels,” negotiate with such a mindset?

Duplicity is an ancient tradition in the Middle East. The history of the region is full of examples of Arabs and Muslims saying one thing

VIEWS Cal Thomas to the West and something quite different to their own people.

The latest example of this doublespeak comes by way of the Middle East Media and Research Institute (MEMRI), a nonprofit press monitoring organization based in Washington, D.C. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recently told Israelis visiting Ramallah that he did not wish to flood Israel with Palestinian refugees and their descendants. “That is nonsense,” said Abbas, “and what was written in the Israeli press is untrue.”

When Abbas spoke to a Palestinian audience, notes MEMRI, he said, “The right of return is a personal

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

right. No country, authority, organization, or even Abu Mazen (Abbas’s other name) or (other) leaders can deny anyone of his right.”

So the question becomes: If Abbas does not have the authority to deny the “right of return” of Palestinians in a flood tide that would demographically overwhelm Israel, why are we negotiating with him? In fact, since according to Abbas no one has that right, why are we negotiating at all?

What about that vaunted “twostate solution” Kerry and those who have gone before him think is the holy grail of Middle East peace? The Palestinian side pays lip service to the notion when speaking to the West, but tells its own people it favors a one-state solution without Israel.

On Jerusalem, according to MEMRI, Abbas told an Israeli audi-

ence that Jerusalem would not be divided in any future peace agreement, but would have two municipalities with an appropriate coordinating body.”

To Palestinians, however, Abbas promised: “Occupied Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine, since without it there will be no solution. No one is authorized to sign (such an agreement).” He added, “Without East Jerusalem as Palestine’s capital there will be no peace between us and Israel.”

There are many more examples of such doublespeak, so many they could fill a book, but you get the point. Too bad Kerry, President Barack Obama, and numerous presidents and secretaries of state who have gone before don’t.

Settlement in jail suicide suit Family of woman had sued over her care while in custody

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com A report dated March 14, 2005, gave insight into Hassiba Belbachir’s mental state while the Algerian-born asylum seeker was detained at the McHenry County Jail.

The report, attorneys said, proved to be key evi-

dence in the wrongful death lawsuit Belbachir’s family filed against Centegra Health System and one of its social workers.

Earlier this month, attorneys for the family “obtained a seven-figure settlement for the family of Hassiba Belbachir,” according to a news release from People’s Law Of-

fice. Attorneys would not be more specific on the amount of the settlement.

As a jail social worker employed by Centegra, Vicki Frederick met with Belbachir on March 15, 2005, to document her mental state.

The report noted that Belbachir planned to see a jail doctor March 18. She died before

seeing him.

On March 17, officers found 27-year-old Belbachir dead in her cell – her jailed-issued socks knotted together and looped around her neck.

She used them to suffocate herself.

Pace distributes advertising money Harvard, McHenry, Pioneer Center among those to benefit from funds

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com Municipalities and other entities that partnered with Pace Bus are receiving some money from the suburban bus service’s advertising program.

Harvard, McHenry, the Pioneer Center for Human Services in McHenry and the Family Service building, which was purchased by Pi-

oneer, all are being allocated money from Pace for participating in the agency’s advertising shelter program.

In total, a little more than $500,000 is being distributed by the bus agency to 58 participants in the program, according to a news release.

“The decline of the economy over the past few years led Pace and other units of government to creatively look for new sources of rev-

enue that doesn’t burden taxpayers,” Pace Chairman of the Board Richard Kwasneski said in a news release.

“We’re happy to offer this program that fosters the use of transit by improving the waiting environment for bus riders while providing funding to Pace and our partners to use however it’s needed,” Kwasneski added.

Half of the money Pace receives from the advertis-

ing goes to the local partners based on the number of shelters located there, the news release said.

For 2013, Pace received a little more than $1 million in advertising proceeds, resulting in payouts to participants that range from $1,283 to $33,374.

The average payout is $8,500, the news release said.

CARPENTERSVILLE – District 300 board members are close to naming the next superintendent to lead the sixth largest school district in Illinois.

The seven-member board later this week will interview the two finalists from a nationwide search that began in January, when Superintendent Michael Bregy announced he would be leaving in May to take the same position at a Highland Park district.

Tight-lipped about the finalists, member Joe Stevens said the board could begin negotiating with one of the remaining candidates if interviews proceed well this week. Joe Stevens T h e b o a r d District 300 still wants to board member name someone by the end of this month, he said.

“We are very excited about both candidates and think both can not just maintain what we are doing, but move us forward in positive directions,” Stevens said.

The Carpentersville-based district contracted recruitment firm Hazard, Young and Attea for roughly $18,500 to assist board members with the superintendent search.

After conducting various focus groups with the community, the firm eventually narrowed a pool of 15 candidates to five semifinalists last month.

Administrators and board members separately interviewed the five candidates, before the board selected two finalists, Stevens said. Once the board completes final interviews, members will

DISTRICT 15

Officials plan summer work at three schools McHENRY – School District 15 is lining up its summer construction projects.

Work will take place at three of the McHenry-based district’s eight schools, total-

ing about $1.3 million, and should wrap up before school starts in the fall, said Mark Bertolozzi, the district’s chief financial officer.

The amount is in line with what the district has spent in previous years, he said.

New boilers will be in-

stalled at Hilltop Elementary School, 2615 W. Lincoln Road, at a cost of just under $300,000, Bertolozzi said.

The installation process requires the district to also perform asbestos abatement, which will cost an additional $31,200, he said. The total cost

of the project will be about $324,000.

Partial roof replacements will be done this summer at Edgebrook Elementary School, 701 N. Green St., and Parkland Middle School, 1802 N. Ringwood Road. The cost of the work is about $937,000.

The district doesn’t have any big projects lined up besides the maintenance work.

The school board has been saving up to eventually address the district’s aging mobile classrooms, making improvements to some of its older buildings or possibly ex-

Lawsuit filed in 2006 Continued from page B1 After asking for political asylum, Belbachir ended up in the county jail, which has a contract with the federal government to house such detainees.

Attorneys for Belbachir’s family argued that Frederick and Centegra – which at the time was contracted to provide medical care at the jail – were negligent for not taking Belbachir’s deteriorating mental state more seriously.

At the very least, she should have been placed on suicide watch, attorneys Janine Hoft and Jan Susler argued.

In her report, Frederick noted that Belbachir was depressed, sobbed throughout her interview and said, “I’d rather die than live like this,” and “death is dripping slowly, drop by drop.”

When the lawsuit initially was filed in 2006, it named a number of defendants, including county Sheriff Keith Nygren, corrections officers, members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and more. A district court judge previously had terminated all other defendants from the case. But on appeal, judges found that Centegra and Frederick should stand trial.

“Although the federal district court found no basis for

the case to go forward, the appellate court decided that the case should proceed to trial.

To further avoid prolonged court proceedings, increased financial costs and the emotional tolls on both sides, the parties agreed to a settlement with no admission of fault,” Centegra said Friday in an emailed statement to the Northwest Herald.

Attorneys for Centegra and Frederick previously argued that Frederick’s report also noted the absence of a suicide plan and that Belbachir was a low risk for suicide. Therefore, a watch was not entirely medically appropriate.

Appellate court judges rejected that claim.

“She was an obvious suicide risk who should have been hospitalized or at least placed on suicide watch. ...

These were simple and obvious precautions,” the appellate court ruling read.

Belbachir’s attorneys noted that it’s important to recognize her death in the context of immigration detention, a jail population Susler called “vulnerable,” especially when they first arrive – much like Belbachir.

“It was a tragic and unnecessary event that we all hope sends a large and loud scream to the people who are responsible for these policies, both on a national level and local level,” Susler said.

Family Service, Pioneer Center to get more than $1,200 each • ADVERTISING Continued from page B1 “This year’s total is higher than last due to our efforts to increase promotion of the program and the improving economy boosting advertising revenue,” Pace spokesman Patrick Wilmot wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald.

“The totals have risen steadily each of the past few years.”

According to Wilmot, $1,283 is each being allocated for the Family Service building, Pioneer Center and Harvard. The city of McHenry will receive $2,567.

“We realize this may not be a windfall for these partners, but it’s essentially easy money for them in that they pay nothing for the installation or upkeep while promoting transit to their constituents or clients,” Wilmot wrote.

Dark clouds roll over Hampshire High School on Saturday morning.

A thunderstorm made its way through McHenry County, bringing with it heavy rain and winds and hail.

No reports of damage to property or vehicles • WEATHER Continued from page B1 Woodstock and Marengo saw 1-inch diameter hail touch the ground.

“We were getting enough moisture and instability that the storm was capable of producing hail,” said meteorologist Amy Seeley. “It’s an active weather weekend.”

Despite the rain and hail, area dispatchers received no reports Saturday afternoon of damaged property or vehicles. McHenry County sheriff’s deputies reported large-sized hail

throughout the area, but no significant damage.

McHenry County saw temperatures Saturday reach the 70s for the first time this year. The area still has a slight risk for severe weather for the rest of the weekend.

Winds reaching up to 60 mph, heavy rain and the possibility of more hail are forecasted for the area until Sunday night, Seeley said.

The springtime elements could cause flooding in certain areas by Sunday.

“There is nothing unusual about this,” Seeley said.

“Spring is the peak time for severe weather.”

HUNTLEY – The state will grant Huntley $1.1 million to build a multi-use path that would allow runners and bicyclists to safely navigate Route 47.

Transportation projects in Algonquin, Lakemoor and McHenry are also included in the $52.7 million investment Gov. Pat Quinn announced on Saturday.

The projects all fall under the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, a federally-funded matching program designed to promote bike, pedestrian and other alternative transportation options.

“These projects will support hundreds of jobs while preserving our heritage, beautifying communities and creating opportunities for pedestrians, bicyclists and others across Illinois,” Quinn said in a news release.

The Illinois Department of Transportation received 232 applications, seeking a total of $260.5 million, for the competitive program’s latest round of funding. The $52.7

million awarded will support 71 local projects and more than 400 jobs, the release states.

Huntley officials last summer revealed a $1.4 million plan to build the roughly milelong Route 47 path. The state grant would narrow the village’s contribution to $289,930, officials said at the time.

The proposed path would lead bicyclists and pedestrians from Kreutzer Road along the east side of Route 47 before connecting them south to Oak Creek Parkway, near the entrance of Sun City Huntley.

Other local projects awarded Saturday include $677,520 for a multi-use path along Harper Drive in Algonquin and $264,400 to connect Lakemoor’s neighborhoods with bike trails in Moraine Hills State Park.

Johnsburg boys coach to guide girls all-stars in Hebron If you go ...

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Things to know about the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza on Sunday at Alden-Hebron: Admission: $10 SCHEDULE 1:45 p.m.: Introductions of girls players 2 p.m.: Girls tipoff Halftime: Girls 3-point contest Between games: Boys dunk contest 4:45 p.m.: Introductions of boys players 5 p.m.: Boys tipoff Halftime: Boys 3-point contest (and boys and girls winner shoot off for overall champion) Note: The Johnsburg dance team will perform during the girls game; the Jacobs and Woodstock dance teams will perform during the boys game.

hen Johnsburg boys basketball coach Mike Toussaint looks back at photos of his 11-year stint as Skyhawks girls coach, the little girl often jumps out at him.

She was there when he started Johnsburg’s girls on a glorious run that included 246 wins, 97 losses, seven consecutive regional titles and, at one point, three sectional championships in a row.

She was there in the middle, and at the end. Sometimes it was running out on the floor with the team, sometimes in the huddle with her “big sisters.”

Being the coach’s daughter has its privileges, a fact that was not lost with little Kayla

W

Toussaint.

“I took full advantage of it and used it to the best of my ability,” Kayla said.

However, she didn’t play high school basketball for her father.

Toussaint had been asked twice before by then-athletic director Bruce Harbecke if he wanted the boys head coaching job. And twice Toussaint, knowing what he had with the girls, turned it down.

Finally, after a run of four head coaches in five years, Toussaint reconsidered and figured he could offer some coaching stability at his alma mater. Instead of coaching Kayla, he coached his son Brett for a year.

Now, Mike will get a chance to coach Kayla

Wrigley ballhawk: 55 years of passion CHICAGO – It was a good day to be a ballhawk.

The wind was blowing out, straightaway to center field, stretching the American flag atop the Wrigley Field scoreboard. The sky was overcast, which made it easier to spot flying baseballs.

And the Cubs’ opponent, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had some boppers who could blast home runs beyond the left field fence and on to Waveland Avenue as the team’s batting practice started 90 minutes before a recent game.

“The ball is carrying like crazy,” said Rich Buhrke, 67, as he peered toward the sky.

“There should be quite a few out here.”

Buhrke stood on the sidewalk across the street from the stadium. His typical station is at the northeast corner of Waveland and Kenmore avenues, but because of the day’s hitter-friendly conditions, he shifted about 75 feet toward left-center field.

As time passed, dozens of Cubs fans strolled past Buhrke, heading toward the turnstiles. A man in a hot dog costume – “EAT ME… at Full Shilling,” it said on his back – strode toward the row of bars on Clark Street. Fire engine No. 78 pulled out of a nearby station and rumbled east on Waveland, siren blaring.

Buhrke barely noticed. He was focused on the sky.

“So far, there’s been nothing right here,” said Buhrke, who wore a black Mizuno mitt. “But there will be.”

He’s a lifelong Cubs fan. Of course he’s an optimist.

FIRST TASTE Buhrke was 12 years old when his life changed forever.

It was the summer of 1960.

Buhrke was a neighborhood kid, out riding his bicycle with friends, when he passed

by Wrigley as the Cubs were playing a game.

Suddenly, the crowd roared. A ball came screaming over the stadium fence.

Buhrke and his friends pedaled toward the landing

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The kid isn’t oblivious. He knows where he is, how old he is, the weight of the moment, the meaning of it all.

Still, the thought bubble above his head seems to be, “And?” It must be great to be like this, to squint at what you’re not supposed to do and say you don’t see it that way. That’s how it is for Jordan Spieth, who finds himself tied for the Masters lead heading into the final round.

He might be 20, but he’s 50 in dogleg years.

“Sunday is about seeing how I can control my game and emotions out on the golf course against guys that have even won here recently,’’ he said. “They’ve been in position. I haven’t. It doesn’t necessarily mean I ... think that they have an advan-

VIEWS Rick Morrissey tage in any way. I’m very confident in the way things are going, and I’m really looking forward to Sunday.’’

By players who have “even won here recently,’’ Spieth means Bubba Watson, the 2012 Masters champion who will be his playing partner Sunday. Both stand at 5-under-par 211, though they seem to be on different ground heading into the final round.

At one point Saturday, Watson had a five-stroke lead but fumbled it away with errant irons and atrocious putting. The drives he

bombed down fairways were a crying shame of a waste.

Spieth might not have been the picture of cool on every hole, but he played like a veteran from start to finish on a stressful day, even though he’s making his Masters debut.

“It was incredible,’’ said his caddie, Michael Greller. “This is all a new experience for both of us. It feels a little bit like last year (on the PGA Tour). It’s just all brand-new experiences. It feels like we’re playing with house money. I think we’re too dumb to know where we’re at.’’

Greller is a former sixth-grade teacher, and although it’s tempting to say he traded 30 grade-schoolers for one, it’s not like that.

I’m just

T

he Illinois House recently passed HR 895, encouraging the Elementary & Secondary committee to look into transparency and the practices of the IHSA. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Styf: The IHSA has a history of overstepping its bounds with little oversight or transparency. Now, it’s being looked into. The photography and disabled athlete lawsuits were prominent. The alleged scholastic bowl question plagiarism should at least be looked into. The question is, why does it always have to come to that? Why are the contracts the IHSA signs that lead to these decisions, like 2012’s webcast changes and 2013’s pay-per-view addition, private? Why are people so afraid of even discussing it? Why all the secrets?

Musick: It’s for the kids, Jon. It’s all about the kids. Stop asking questions. It’s for the kids.

Styf: Exactly. Here’s the thing, the IHSA will change the subject on you. They’ll say someone is trying to grab money. Someone is trying to take over the IHSA (that poor wording in HR 895 was a mistake). But none of that is true.

The IHSA does a ton of good things, overall a really good job. No one should take them over, the money should go nowhere else but back into the high school sports programs they put on. But the problem is when they get arrogant and overstep their bounds, make weird decisions and try to push people around.

When that happens, there’s no oversight, no accountability. It’s time for that to change.

And their 10-person oversight committee of principals isn’t the group to do it. Because who likes to hide stuff more than high school officials? On Monday night, Marengo’s school board plans to approve an agenda item involving its athletic conference. But, when contacted Friday, zero people from Marengo responded. No return calls, no attempt to release the resolution (a public record), nothing.

Marengo isn’t alone, just the most recent example. Where is the accountability? Where is the transparency there? Why do they feel it’s appropriate to wait until they make a final decision before releasing what they are doing when it involves public funds and public school athletics?

Musick: It seems pretty clear that there is no accountability with the IHSA. At least with local school districts, residents have the power to unseat incompetent school board members over time. But what power do we really have over the IHSA? Is it a public agency, or a quasi-public agency, or what? What will it take to force the IHSA to be accountable?

Styf: Interestingly enough, House Bill 4268 is trying to create more transparency in school districts, at least with union and public sector employer contracts. Our local officials support that transparency. But, while Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, voted for HR 895, two others (Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake and Tom Tryon, R-Crystal Lake) did not. On one issue, they want transparency. On the other, involving the nonprofit IHSA (which happens to control high school sports for both public and private schools), they don’t.

Musick: Whether it succeeds or not, I appreciate the efforts of state Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, and everyone else who is willing to ask the hard questions of the IHSA. At some point, those questions deserve answers. At some point, “it’s for the kids” seems less like a genuine mission and more like an easy way to cover up big-money deals.

Styf: Like the Champaign News-Gazette did last week, asking IHSA Director Marty Hickman to disclose the organization’s salary info.

He told them that it would require approval of that same Board of Directors to release that information (which he knows would never happen). Must have been he forgot about the 990 tax document he signed and mailed in, a clearly public document that details that information. In light of that, do you trust Hickman?

Think his agency is always being honest with the public? I’ll leave that answer up to you.

Josh Freeman throws things for a living. Two weeks into his sophomore outdoor track and field season at Southern Illinois-Carbondale, tthe 2012 Cary-Grove graduate broke both the SIU and Missouri Valley Conference shot put record. A week later, he broke his own records with a throw of 63 feet, 6 inches – a mark that ranks sixth nationally.

Breaking records isn’t really something you strive for, but it’s just something you get along the way. It’s something that happened in the first two weeks of the season and so to break (the records) that early and to get those marks right off the bat like that is huge because it sets you off right and then by the end of the season, when we start to taper our training, you hope for even better marks.

A lot of people in the sport are looking for immediate results. They’re looking for, ‘I want to throw (a certain distance) right now.’ But that’s not how it works. It’s one of those things where you work for months for maybe just a foot farther. You have to kind of have patience and just try to stick to it and keep moving on and realizing that what you’re doing is worth it.

I don’t really view success as how I do against another person. I view success based on how I feel. If I finish in second place behind someone who threw farther than I did, but I set a new personal best, then that’s a success. It means that I did as well as I possibly could. So I probably define success differently than a lot of other people do. The majority of the time, you’re not competing against the person next to you. You’re trying to beat your own personal best, and wherever you land in the (final results), that’s where you land. But if you get a personal best, that’s pretty much all you can ask for because things are going to fall where they fall. So I would say the majority of the time in practice, it’s me going against myself.

I don’t think most people understand how mental throwing is. You have three opportunities to get another three opportunities. I’ll give you a perfect example. When I was at the indoor national championships a few weeks ago, I had always kind of been a hot dog in high school and I always thought I could just always walk into a meet and not being nervous because I knew what I could do. But I came into the national meet and I was ranked 13th, and I had to move up four spots just to make the finals. I got nervous, and it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. At that point, it becomes a mental game and you have to overcome your nerves. You have to focus on you and not worry about what everyone else is doing. So a lot of it is mental – just as much as it is physical.

Before every throw, I visualize not only what it looks like, but I think about what it feels like. I’ll do that all the time – I’ll sit back and put my arms up and visualize. Or when I’m warming up or stretching, I’m already thinking about what a throw is going to feel like. That way, when I get into the ring, I’ve already done all the thinking I need to do and then it’s just a matter of me doing my job. Some people try to overthink it when they get ready to throw. But once you get into that ring, you’ve already done everything you can possibly do. So there’s no reason to think.

You just have to throw.

BASEBALL: DUNDEE-CROWN 5, HAMPSHIRE 4

Chargers withstand delay for crossover win Lightning extends first inning by 80 minutes

By ANDY SCHMIDT sports@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – Dundee-Crown baseball coach Jon Anderson didn’t look too happy after Saturday’s Fox Valley Conference crossover game against Hampshire.

After an 80-minute delay because of lightning, D-C continued its hot hitting from before the storms and finished off a 5-4 victory over the Whip-Purs. Still, Anderson was not pleased with some aspects of his team’s game.

“The first inning, the first two guys went up and struck out looking,” Anderson said. “You put the ball in play and good things happen.

We have to do the little things that are going to make it successful, and we didn’t do those little things. We were successful with the outcome, Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com but there are still things we need to Dundee-Crown junior Jared Ludwig pitches in the second inning Saturday in Hampshire. work on.”

Before the weather turned, the D-C defeated Hampshire, 5-4, with Ludwig earning the win.

Chargers (5-6 overall, 3-1 FVC Valley) scored twice in the first inning on a two-run single by Tyler Lewan.

After the long delay that started four pitches into the bottom of the first, the Whip-Purs cut the lead in half on an RBI single by Michael Merchut.

The Whips (2-8, 0-5 FVC Fox) tied the score in the bottom of the second on an RBI groundout by Nick Mohlman. D-C responded with two runs in the third on Lewan’s RBI groundout and Riley Alvarado’s RBI single.

Lewan said he knew what he had to do in both RBI situations.

“I just figured I got a two-strike count that I need to put the ball in play. I saw a ball I could hit and just took it up the middle to score two,” Lewan said. “The next time up, I knew I had to put the ball in play again. I should have put it to the right side, but it was still a good hit and it got the run in.”

The Chargers tacked on what turned into a much-needed insur-

BOYS TRACK: AL BOHRER INVITATIONAL

ance run in the sixth on an RBI single by Vince Damato off losing pitcher Trey Schramm.

The run was important because the Whips scored twice in the bottom of the inning on a passed ball to score Corey Michaelsen and an RBI groundout by Merchut to cut the lead to 5-4.

However, Hampshire couldn’t touch D-C reliever Danny Denz, who came in with two on and no one out in the sixth. Denz retired the final six Whips hitters to earn the save for Jared Ludwig.

Hampshire coach John Sarna said his team played the way he wanted them too but just didn’t have enough to pull out the victory.

“They came to play,” Sarna said.

“We’ve had a rough week (losing five straight games). There was no letup.

They were competitive, and that’s all we ask from them as coaches. We didn’t come out on top, but they competed and played a good game.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Cary-Grove caps team title in style Huntley girls track Trojans capture 4x400m relay in dramatic fashion

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – When CaryGrove’s Brad Wolter handed off to Michael Saxon for the third leg of the 4x400-meter relay, Saxon was in fourth place, about 20 meters behind the leader.

Wolter had complete confidence in Saxon and anchor runner Joey Klawitter finishing the job.

“I know these guys, and they’re really fast,” Wolter said. “I didn’t have a doubt they would catch up to them.

Me and Daniel (Speer) had some slower times, but they held up their end of the bargain and pulled us out of a tough spot.”

C-G already had the team title of its own Al Bohrer Invitational wrapped up, but the Trojans capped it with a 3:36.0

“We take a lot of pride in our 4x400, and when they were sitting in fourth place, I knew they weren’t going to be happy.”

Layne Holter Cary-Grove boys track coach to beat Belvidere North’s team by one second. C-G won the meet with 143 points, its third consecutive title, while Belvidere North was second with 114 and Johnsburg took third with 82.

Speer almost didn’t run in the final race. Trojans coach Layne Holter said Speer was throwing up five minutes before the start and then decided to lead it off. Wolter had won the 400, while Speer was fifth, and they had less than a half hour to recover for the 4x400.

“Those first two guys were tired from the open 400,” Holter said. “Speer wanted to run it. Michael [Saxon] had a

challenge today and he took it like he typically does, and Joey [Klawitter] did a great job finishing it. We take a lot of pride in our 4x400, and when they were sitting in fourth place, I knew they weren’t going to be happy.”

Saxon had only the 1,600 and 200 to recover, but still had enough left to hand off to Klawitter in first place.

“Joey told me, ‘If you give it to me in first, I’ll stay in first,’ ” Saxon said. “I felt like I had to do it for my team. On Tuesday, I sort of let it get to me. Today, it was like, ‘I can do this.’ We try to hold up the [4x400] tradition.”

Saxon won the 110 high hurdles and took second in the 300 intermediate hurdles.

C-G also got wins from Ricky Hurley in the shot put (56-11¾) and discus (164-3½) and John Cody (3,200).

Saxon ran 15.4 to win the high hurdles by three-tenths of a second over Marengo’s Nick Simons. Saxon had finished fourth in a quadrangular Tuesday.

“I wanted to live up to what

I did last year,” said Saxon, a junior. “I let it get in my head a little bit. It felt like I was there again today. That made me think I’m back and ready to go.”

Wolter was pleased with his 50.2 time in the 400, despite some tough gusting winds. He edged Johnsburg’s Sam Blankenship by one-tenth of a second.

“The wind didn’t slow me up that much,” Wolter said.

“I was behind and started kicking in the last 200 meters.

I passed the Johnsburg guy right at the very end.”

Johnsburg got wins from Bailey Stefka in the 100 and Sandro Magradze in the 300 hurdles. Magradze’s 40.6 was just off the Class 2A state-qualifying standard (40.44) in the 300 hurdles.

Simons won the long jump (18-9¾), was second in the 110 hurdles and third in the pole vault to lead Marengo.

Richmond-Burton got a win from Ryan Garrett, Ben Gardner, James Kaht and Greg Arther in the 4x800 relay.

Marengo’s Jackson absent for good reason

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Marengo sophomore Jarrell Jackson had every intention of returning Saturday to the scene of his school-record run from Tuesday.

Jackson ran a 10.8-second time in the 100 meters at Cary-Grove’s Al Bohrer Field on Tuesday to break Tim Lehman’s 32-year-old school record of 10.9.

But Jackson did not return to Cary for the Al Bohrer Invitational on Saturday. Instead, Jackson received an invitation Friday night to attend a Nike Football Training Camp Saturday at Addi-

son Trail High School.

Jackson ran a 4.36 40yard dash Friday at the Nike Sparq Football Combine at Lake Barrington Field House. His blazing time was one of the best this year among similar combines Jarrell around the naJackson tion.

“Anybody can go to the combines, then they invite certain people back,” Jackson said. “They printed out my rating, and this guy talked to me and interviewed me for about 20

minutes.”

Jackson then called Marengo track coach Jared Secor to deliver the news.

Secor understood that it was a rare opportunity for Jackson, a 5-foot-9, 168-pound running back who ran 41 times for 228 yards last season.

“We did some of the same things we did yesterday,” Jackson said of Saturday’s camp. “Then we broke into groups and did some individual position stuff and 7-on-7 stuff. There were college coaches there and some former NFL players coaching us.”

Jackson said he lifts weights before school and

runs with the track and football teams but has not worked with a speed and agility trainer. He said Marengo football coach Matt Lynch had clocked him at 4.32. Friday’s combine was Jackson’s first official 40 time.

The school record run also was unexpected for Jackson, although he finished fourth in the Class 2A 60 meters at the Illinois Prep Top Times Indoor Classic.

“When coach told me, I was really surprised,” Jackson said. “That was my first 100 run of the season. After getting fourth in state indoor, my goal was to beat 11.0 this season.”

‘Away’ All-Stars include 4 Johnsburg players • TOUSSAINTS Continued from page C1 in her last basketball game as a high schooler. Toussaint will guide the Away team in the McHenry County Area AllStar Basketball Extravaganza at 2 p.m.

Sunday at Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium. The boys game is set to tip off at 5 p.m., as most of the area’s top seniors will display their talents one more time.

Shaun Strange, one of the event organizers over the past decade, suggested that Toussaint, who previously coached in the girls game three times, be given his daughter’s team for one last game.

A-H athletic director John Lalor and others helping select the teams supported the idea.

“I checked with [Johnsburg girls coach Brad] Frey because I didn’t want to step on any toes,” Mike Toussaint said. “John [Lalor] pitched it to me, and I thought it would be fun. I coached her and her three teammates in the sixth through eighth grade. I’m really excited about it.”

Kayla Toussaint led the Skyhawks (11-19) at 11.9 points a game and hit 40

“As a child, I remember I’d much rather hang out with [the Johnsburg girls basketball players] than with my friends.”

Kayla Toussaint Johnsburg basketball player

3-pointers. She will be joined by senior teammates Maycee Ward, Maddie Himpelmann and Katie Polczkaski on the “Away” team.

When Mike Toussaint took over the Skyhawks’ girls program, Kayla was 4 years old. She tagged along with her dad to practices and participated in the Little Dribblers program. She saw a lot of victories and made a lot of friends from the area’s most successful girls program of the 2000s.

“I remember just being around the team,” Kayla said. “I got to meet Sarah Kelly [who died in a 2007 auto accident], people I got to look up to, all the leaders who developed me as a player and as a person. As a child, I remember I’d much

rather hang out with them than with my friends. I always wanted to be around the team or in the gym or going to summer camps with them.”

Something rubbed off, as Kayla will continue playing next season at NAIA Judson University in Elgin. She signed this winter with Eagles coach Kristi Cirone, who was a three-time Missouri Valley Conference MVP during her career at Illinois State.

“There wasn’t another school that came close,” Kayla said. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s close, so my parents can come and watch, and it fits me.”

Mike Toussaint fully realized on Johnsburg’s senior night how much the girls program had meant to Kayla growing up when he saw all the pictures she was in.

“She’s a gym rat,” he said. “Every picture growing up she had a basketball in her hands. She was the Skyhawk little sister the whole time. She grew up with those kids, and it was a good experience for her. They were good role models and they always took her in.

“It’s going to be neat to do this one game together.”

3rd in own invite NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – Huntley’s Macy Tramblay won the 100-meter high hurdles and took second in the 300 hurdles to help the Red Raiders to a third-place finish in their own Jennifer Kearns Invitational on Saturday.

Tina Driscoll took second in the 400 for the Raiders, who finished with 184 points.

Bloom won the 10-team event with 191½ points, and Harlem was second with 185.

McHenry (167), Crystal Lake South (160), Hampshire (155 ½ ) and Marengo (107) were next. The meet had three flights in each event, with scores starting at 10 points for first places in Flight A, eight points in Flight B and six in Flight C. Huntley also won the 4x400 relay in 4:07.2.

McHenry was led by Lauren Opatrny, who won the 1,600, and Rachel Irwin, who cleared 5 feet, 2 inches to win the high jump.

Crystal Lake South’s Taylor Schau, a transfer from Huntley, edged Tramblay in the 300 hurdles with a 47.8.

Marengo’s Caitlyn Allen won the 3,200, and Allie Sprague took second in the 1,600 and third in the 800.

Quenneville faces lineup decisions heading into playoffs

By MARK LAZERUS

Next for the Hawks

mlazerus@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Brandon Bollig played in his 82nd game of the season Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena, a remarkable achievement for a guy who had played just 43 games in the previous two seasons, and had been pigeonholed as a one-dimensional fighter.

He has reinvented himself as part of the Blackhawks’ lockdown fourth line, logging major minutes in key situations against top lines – often starting in his own zone and flipping the ice during his shift.

And while he hasn’t scored in 18 games, he’s earned Joel Quenneville’s trust and played in every single game, all the way through to Saturday’s 7-5 loss to the Nashville Predators.

Yet Bollig still doesn’t feel like he’s got a guaranteed spot in the lineup for the playoffs.

“There are a lot of guys fighting for playing time right now, and earning their way in,” Bollig said. “It’s nice to have that competition – it keeps guys fresh and it keeps guys honest.

Hawks vs. St. Louis/ Colorado, 1st round of Western Conference Nobody gets complacent and everyone’s kind of fighting every night. That can be very good for a team, because obviously everyone wants to play every game. The competition keeps guys hungry.”

Indeed, after going most of the season without having too many difficult lineup decisions to make, Quenneville now faces several as the Hawks put the regular season behind them and look forward to the playoffs, which likely will begin Thursday in either St. Louis or Colorado.

With Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane both skating and both “absolutely” ready for Game 1, according to Quenneville, is there a way to find a spot for center Peter Regin, who has been consistently very good for several weeks? Is there

a role for rookie center/winger Joakim Nordstrom, who has shown vast improvement in his latest NHL stint? And how do you squeeze in winger Jeremy Morin, who played as big a role as anybody in turning around the Hawks’ fortunes after a three-game losing streak, scoring his fourth goal in five games on Saturday?

And does Michal Rozsival, who missed nine games in the past month with a lower-body injury, regain the everyday role he played in last year’s playoffs, or has Sheldon Brookbank earned his way into a continued rotation?

These are what Quenneville likes to call “good problems.”

But the Game 1 lineup might not include any of those three forwards – even Morin.

“I think the guy you look at is Jeremy Morin,” Patrick Sharp said. “He’s playing awesome. … You see a guy like that who’s been getting limited minutes, and his minutes are going up every game. You see him get out there and make the most of his opportunity. It forces everybody to pick up their game, too.”

DARLINGTON, S.C. – Kevin Harvick capped his biggest weekend at Darlington Raceway with his first Southern 500 victory Saturday night, passing Dale Earnhardt Jr. two laps from the end of the longest race in the track’s 65year NASCAR history.

Harvick earned his first pole here Friday night and had the most dominant car.

But he had to make it through a restart with 10 laps left and two tries at a green-whitecheckered finish – NASCAR’s version of extra innings.

“We were able to hang on there at the end and I knew I had that high line I hadn’t showed it to them all night on the restarts and I wanted to save it until the very end,” Harvick said.

Earnhardt finished second, his best career showing at a track where his late father won nine times. Jimmie Johnson was third, last year’s Southern 500 winner Matt Kenseth fourth and Greg Biffle fifth.

Harvick led 239 of the 374 laps, seven more than scheduled, and became the first

CARDINALS 10, CUBS 4

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Cubs look for home run in later rounds

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com ST. LOUIS – The Cubs are not shy about pointing out how popular their farm system has become with the baseball trade publications, as it is ranked anywhere from second to fourth in the industry heading toward the 2014 draft, depending on the outlet.

But just how much of that is a reflection of the player development “machine” team president Theo Esptein talked about building when he took over the baseball operation in the fall of 2011?

And how much of it’s a function of having a $30 million Cuban free agent in the system and of being so bad in recent years that they’ve have single-digit overall picks in the last three drafts?

The short answer is it’s far too early to tell just how good the new regime is at player development, and how well guys like Javy Baez and Kris Bryant eventually perform in the big leagues will tell only some of the story.

“Anybody can pick out a No. 1 selection and think that’s a great deal,” former Cubs general manager Dallas Green said during a recent conversation.

“But you make 30 or 40 selections [in a draft] and three or four of those guys have gotta play. They’ve gotta be good players along the way. That’s what scouting is all about.

“You can’t take 40 or 50 kids [each draft] and not have the 30th selection be a good player somewhere along the line.”

That’s where a team like the St. Louis Cardinals will hold a decided edge on the Cubs until Epstein, GM Jed Hoyer and their scouting and minor-league staffs prove they can hang with their division rivals and others on baseball’s player development block.

And with so little money coming into the baseball department these days relative to the revenues and market size, it’s never been more critical to the Cubs creating big-league success again. And they know it.

“We always talk in the draft room about how you obviously can’t miss on your first-round picks,” Hoyer said. “You’ve got to really nail those because that’s where you get your impact talent. But the ability to get key contributors late in the draft, that’s really the mark of a good draft and of good scouting.

The Cardinals obviously have

Carpenter, Wainwright help Cardinals top Cubs ST. LOUIS – Adam Wainwright’s day started as badly as it could but ended up just fine.

Wainwright gave up Junior Lake’s homer on his first pitch and allowed six more hits and three runs after that. But he saved a tired bullpen by sticking around for seven innings Saturday and leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-4 win over the Cubs.

It was hardly a vintage performance by Wainwright (2-1), who struck out eight and helped his own cause with an RBI single. The four runs were twice as many as he yielded in his first two starts.

“It was OK,” said Wainwright, who led the majors with 241⅔ innings pitched last year. “I think because our offense was so great, I did what they needed me to do, just go a little later in the game and give the bullpen guys some rest.”

– The Associated Press done a great job of that.”

Baez, Bryant, Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, C.J. Edwards these are the guys getting the attention, the pressure and the kinds of high marks that have elevated the Cubs in the farm system rankings.

But until the Cubs develop an eighth-round All-Star (like the Cards’ Allen Craig), a 13thround All-Star (Matt Carpenter), a 21st-round closer (Trevor Rosenthal), or a 23rd-round cleanup hitter (Matt Adams), the Epstein-Hoyer rebuild won’t be complete.

And it’ll be hard-pressed to catch up to the Cardinals’ development machine – which would again put the onus, as in years past, on significantly outspending their mid-market rivals to compete.

“The success of our system right now is that we have everyday major league players [acquired in the middle and late rounds],” Cardinals GM John Mozeliak said. “That’s giving us the ability to really have more sustainability because of the fact that we’re not picking in that top 10 every year.”

The White Sox’s Jose Abreu strikes out during the ninth inning Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field in Chiago.

Cleveland defeated the Sox, 12-6.

INDIANS 12, WHITE SOX 6

Abreu’s early success hiking expectations

By BRIAN SANDALOW Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – Robin Ventura was asked before Friday’s game whether he’d seen a White Sox player burst onto the scene the way Jose Abreu has. He paused for an instant and smirked.

“Yeah, they had Frank Thomas here. He was pretty good,” Ventura said. “He made the Hall of Fame and everything. So, he’s pretty good.”

True, Thomas was pretty good – the two MVP awards and 521 home runs prove that. But Ventura probably forgot that in Thomas’ first 10 games in 1990, he hit no homers, drove in four runs and batted only .273.

Abreu has blown by that and pretty much any other start in Sox history. In his first 12 games, he had four homers and 14 RBIs. On Thursday, he became the first Sox player since Ron Kittle in 1983 to drive in 14 runs over the first 10 games of a season. His start has been so hot that the Sox put in Friday’s game notes that he was on pace for 65 home runs and 227 RBIs. There’s no way Abreu hits those totals, but it would be surprising if he didn’t continue to produce.

And with that productivity

Sox staff struggles in loss to Indians CHICAGO – Manager Robin Ventura used four relievers Saturday, and none of them did very well.

Throw in another shaky start for Felipe Paulino, and the high-scoring White Sox just couldn’t keep up with the Indians.

Adam Eaton hit his first homer for the Sox, but Cleveland scored six times against a beleaguered bullpen in a 12-6 victory.

“Lately we’ve been having to have guys go two innings. You just can’t keep up that kind of pace,” Ventura said. “Guys have to go deeper into a game. Colorado is one thing, then coming back and being in another place is another.”

– The Associated Press will come even more of a glare, not that he seems too worried about that.

“The only success and expectations that I care about is the team success,” Abreu said through a translator.

“It’s not about my own personal success – it’s about the team success. Whatever I can do to help the team win games or succeed, that’s all that really matters as far as expectations and being successful.”

As he continues to de-

Next for the Sox Cleveland at White Sox, 1:10 p.m.

Sunday, CSN, AM-670 velop and hit, those expectations will only increase.

With Paul Konerko playing his last season, the Sox are losing the face of the franchise and their leading slugger since Thomas’ departure after the 2005 World Series.

The next power hitter in line looks to be Abreu, though another former Sox star doesn’t want too much put on Abreu too soon.

“Just let him play,” assistant hitting coach Harold Baines said. “I don’t believe in putting labels on guys. Just let the kid play.

That’s what happens to a lot of players – people start putting labels on players, so let it play out for a year and then maybe you can talk about it.’’

Of course, Abreu’s torrid start has led to mentions of Thomas and Kittle, visions of a long career of home runs and RBIs and talk of the Sox not having to worry about first base for the next decade.

Buhrke feels ballhawks could be forced into extinction • MUSICK Continued from page C1 spot to see what had happened. There, they learned about the existence of ballhawks, a group of men who wore gloves and stood outside the stadium in hopes of catching long home runs.

“It was an Ernie Banks home run,” Buhrke said. “It turned out that one of the guys misjudged it and it hit him in the side, and the ball marks, the seams, were still on his hip. That’s when I first realized, ‘Hey, they hit balls out of here.’

“I came back the following weekend, and the rest is history.”

Before long, Buhrke had his first catch: a Willie Mays’ batting practice home run. The ball smacked against Waveland and ricocheted off a nearby tree branch.

“It hit the limb of the tree and came right down into my glove,” Buhrke said with a chuckle. “So, it caught me, I didn’t catch it.”

BY THE NUMBERS Buhrke had caught the ballhawk bug, or maybe the ballhawk bug had caught him.

Either way, he was hooked. There was no going back. Not for the kid who loved baseball but had to work his tail off just to make his high school team at Evanston.

“It’s been a lifelong dream to be a major league ballplayer,” Buhrke said.

“This is the closest I ever got. But it definitely puts you in the middle of things.

“Because when they hit that ball out and you catch it, just for a second, you’re a part of that game.”

All told, Buhrke had caught 3,533 balls in his life, from spring training to Wrigley to midseason road trips and the Arizona Fall League. He had caught 179 in-game home runs. He

even had caught two in-game footballs from the 1960s, when the Bears played at Wrigley and goal posts towered over Waveland.

Now, more than a half-century after his first grab, the split-second rush still fueled Buhrke. He drove from his home in Des Plaines on this day in search of the first ball of his 55th season as a ballhawk.

“It makes you feel young,” Buhrke said. “It does. Until you try to run with some of these kids and find out that you can’t run anymore.”

STRANGER THAN FICTION Baseballs are simple to count, but much tougher to tally are the stories that Buhrke has collected from his spot on the sidewalk.

Like the time Mickey Mantle hit the second floor of a yellow house near Sheffield during batting practice of the 1962 All-Star Game.

Like the time Dave Kingman drilled the front of a house three buildings down on Kenmore.

Like the time Glenallen Hill crushed a ball into the rooftop bleachers across Waveland.

In addition to seeing great strength, Buhrke has witnessed plenty of strange.

Like the time when Reds pitcher Tom Browning crossed Waveland in the middle of a game, in full uniform, to watch his teammates from the rooftops.

“We saw it happen,” Buhrke said.

“We didn’t know what in the world he was doing.”

Or like the time when a UPS delivery truck was traveling down Waveland as a home run ball sailed through the air. The truck had no doors on the driver or passenger sides, and it never stopped as the ball skipped through the cab.

“I swear to God, the ball bounced

through one side of the truck and out the other,” Buhrke said. “That was one of the nuttiest things I ever saw.”

still breathing, I’ll be doing something that has to do with baseball. I love baseball.”

ENDANGERED SPECIES

TIME TRAVEL

The old baseball stories were happy and funny, always ending with a smile.

But Buhrke’s grin faded as he discussed the changing culture surrounding the Cubs. Before long, he said, Wrigley’s ballhawks would be forced into extinction.

About eight years ago, the Cubs renovated and expanded the bleachers to stretch past part of the street. The expansion eliminated about two-thirds of home runs that used to leave the stadium, Buhrke said.

Now, the Cubs want to erect a massive scoreboard atop the left field bleachers.

“If they throw that thing up there, it will be all over,” Buhrke said. “And they will eventually put that up there, there’s no question about it.”

Could this be the final year of the ballhawks?

“It very well could be,” Buhrke said. “When we said goodbye last fall, we thought that was it. But then about halfway through the winter, you realized that there was no way that they were going to get the OK to go ahead with [the scoreboard].

“So we knew we’d get one more year out of it. And that’s probably going to be it.”

At Wrigley, at least.

Buhrke eventually hopes to retire to Arizona or some place else where he can attend baseball games year-round.

In the meantime, he works at Glenview Ice Center, recently working 16 out of 18 days in order to free up his schedule for baseball.

“I want to get to a place to retire where there’s nothing but baseball almost 365 days a year,” Buhrke said.

“If I can still move and my lungs are

Despite Buhrke’s high hopes, batting practice had proved to be a disappointment. The Cubs had skipped their session, and the Pirates were failing to hit long balls.

Even though the wind was blowing out, only two balls had cleared the stadium, and neither landed close to Buhrke. Another ball had headed toward him on a perfect trajectory, but it thudded against the top few rows of the expanded bleachers.

Only a few minutes remained before batting practice would end.

And then it happened.

A ball soared toward the sky and into Buhrke’s line of sight. He turned to his right as it landed in the middle of Waveland and hopped high against the side of a building. After the ball hit the building, it ricocheted and rolled to a stop against a wrought-iron fence that lined the sidewalk.

Buhrke crouched and scooped the ball with his bare right hand.

The first ball of Year No. 55.

The 3,534th ball of his life.

The unofficial ending to a long, cold winter.

“Look,” Buhrke said.

He held out his hand. It was shaking.

“It’s always that way.”

If only for a moment, Buhrke was 12 years old again. He was a neighborhood kid with a bicycle. He was clutching a major league baseball, admiring its seams and its stitches and its scuff marks.

It was a good day to be a ballhawk.

MASTERS

Spieth, Watson tied for lead The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. – Even without golf’s biggest star, this suddenly is shaping up as a Masters for the ages.

Jordan Spieth, playing a brand of big-time golf that belies his 20 years, kept his cool amid the chaos Saturday at Augusta National. He was too busy trying to handle a lightning-fast golf course to even look at a leaderboard until he couldn’t avoid them over the closing holes of a wild round.

His name at the top with Bubba Watson was compelling enough. It’s been 83 years since a player this young won a major, and 35 years since anyone won the Masters on his first try.

Two shots behind was 50-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain, rattling off seven birdies for a tournament-best 66 that gave him a

shot at becoming the oldest winner in 154 years of championship golf. And still very much in the picture is Fred Couples, the 54-year-old who won his green jacket a year before Spieth was born.

The only mention of Tiger Woods, absent from Augusta National for the first time in 20 years, was whether Spieth could Jordan Spieth replace him as the youngest Masters champion.

“For a 20-year-old, he’s pretty savvy. Not much bothers him,” said Couples, who picked Spieth for the Presidents Cup. “Tomorrow obviously is going to be a really, really hard day to try to win this. ” Spieth managed one last par from the deep fairway bunker on the 18th hole for a 2-un-

der-par 70. He has broken par all three rounds.

That gave him a share of the lead with Watson, whose five bogeys in a round of 74 brought so many players back into the mix. Watson had a three-shot lead at the start of the third round. When he walked off the 18th green with a par, nine players were separated by three shots.

Spieth and Watson were at 5-under 211.

“Today was moving day,” Spieth said. “And tomorrow is about seeing how I can control my game and emotions out on the golf course against guys that have even won here recently. So they have been in the position I haven’t. Doesn’t necessarily mean – I don’t think – that they have an advantage in any way. I think that I’m very confident in the way things are going. And really looking forward to tomorrow.”

“He’s always been like that since I first met him at the U.S. Junior – he’s just kind of had an inner calmness that you don’t see in a 20-year-old,’’ Greller said.

Spieth got an invitation to Augusta by winning the John Deere Classic last year. There is nothing fluky about the Dallas native’s success here.

He seems to be built perfectly for this. Fluid swing? Check.

Confidence? Check. Noble bearing? Well, about that.

When his tee shot on the par-3 12th hole wasn’t going where he wanted it to, Spieth approached it like a tent revival.

“I guess I naturally fell to the ground and prayed for it to sit down,’’ he said.

It did.

“I started laughing and looked back at [Greller] and said, ‘Don’t give me any crap

for that because I wanted that one really bad,’ ” he said.

It was the kid’s day. It might be the kid’s tournament. Think that’s overstating things?

Think again. He’s ridiculously talented and composed. You can’t teach that combination, not even if you’re a former sixth-grade teacher.

Fred Couples is 54 and knows Augusta National the way he knows his Social Security number. He also knows Spieth can win this thing.

“He’s a qualified player at the age of 20,’’ said Couples, who is tied for 10th. “When you’re that kind of player, you can play well anywhere. He’s such a great putter. He hits the ball long and high. But for a 20-year-old, he’s pretty savvy.

Not much bothers him.’’

If Spieth wins, he’ll be the youngest player to win the Masters. Tiger Woods was five months older when he won here in 1997.

It figures to be a brutal test. Spieth described Augusta

National’s greens Saturday as “crazy fast’’ and “wicked fast.’’ He can expect more evil Sunday.

“It’s why I’ll lose some more hair as we go on this week,’’ he said.

Sure you will, kid.

Age doesn’t appear to be a factor with Spieth, unless he walks into a bar. Other than that? We’re about to find out.

He has thought of this moment for a long time, or as long a time as a 20-year-old can.

“You just dream of what it would mean and how cool it’d be and all those putts I hit when I was real young with my friends [pretending] to win the Masters,’’ he said. “I would love the opportunity to test it [Sunday].’’

This time it’s not a dream.

It’s real. Now, how will he handle that reality?

Savers beware: Fees may be shrinking your 401(k)

LAW Brad Stewart

Bill seeks added protection for pregnant workers Illinois House Bill 8 (HB8) was approved by the House this past week with a 65-36 vote, and now moves on to the Senate.

It has a stated purpose, in part, “to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth.”

In case you were wondering, yes, there is already federal law (the Pregnancy Discrimination Act) and state law that forbids discrimination based on pregnancy regarding most aspects of employment: hiring, firing, compensation, assignments, promotions, layoff and other benefits, such as time off and insurance.

Here are some highlights of what would change if HB8 is passed.

First, HB8 would amend the Illinois Human Rights Act to explicitly add pregnancy, which is defined to include pregnancy, childbirth and conditions related to pregnancy, to the list of protected classes from discrimination; a list that currently includes such classifications as race, age, sex, sexual orientation and religion. The act already has a pregnancy section that generally forbids discrimination against pregnant employees, so the significance of adding pregnancy to the list of anti-discriminatory classifications is perhaps somewhat symbolic. Historically, pregnancy discrimination laws were derivative of gender discrimination laws, and subsequent legislation has sought to identify pregnancy as its own basis of protection from discrimination with its own rights. More substantively, HB8 replaces the existing definition of “medical conditions of pregnancy” to “conditions related to pregnancy,” thus the bill broadens “conditions” to mean something less than would require a medical opinion to substantiate.

A major thrust of HB8 is to ensure reasonable accommodations are made for pregnant employees to ensure they can continue working without taking time off, which may be unpaid.

Much of what is defined as a reasonable accommodation in the bill’s language is consistent with a general understanding of making reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees under federal law, which also somewhat reflects accommodations for persons with disabilities.

Yet a very curious provision in the bill would give pregnant employees a right of refusal to accept “an accommodation that the applicant or employee chooses not to accept.” This language contains no limitation on the employee’s right to refuse an accommodation, no matter how reasonable it may be.

While other provisions in the act protect an employer from undue hardships in making reasonable accommodations where it is not practicable, the proposed language would signify a major shift from requiring the employer to offer a reasonable accommodation to allowing pregnant employees to choose, to some degree, a desirable accommodation.

An additional complicating factor to the reasonable accommodation section is that the burden is on the employer to prove it would suffer an undue hardship by offering an appropriate accommodation.

Undue hardship is defined to mean “an action that is prohibitively expensive or disruptive.”

Therefore, the employer’s duty to find a reasonable accommodation would not necessarily end at the point of finding a lateral position or responsibilities for the employee.

If the employee refused the accommodation, then the employer would then have to seek an acceptable alternative to the point that the accommodation would create a significant strain on the employer.

The pantry serves 175 to 200 families each month, Ford said. In February, just over 600 individuals sought help.

The Wards expect their donations to ramp up as the weather warms. That will be a bonus for the pantry, which often sees donations drop off in the summer.

“That’s our busiest time,” Terri Ward said.

To maximize the donation, the Wards hope to enlist community volunteers to reduce labor costs. The volunteers won’t be taking jobs away from students, since they will not be used to prepare food or run the register.

WASHINGTON – It’s the silent enemy in our retirement accounts: High fees.

And now a new study finds that the typical 401(k) fees – adding up to a modestsounding 1 percent a year – would erase $70,000 from an average worker’s account over a four-decade career compared with lower-cost options. To compensate for the higher fees, someone would have to work an extra three years before retiring.

The study comes from the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. Its analysis, backed by industry and government data, suggests that U.S. workers, already struggling to save enough for retirement, are being further held back by fund costs.

“The corrosive effect of high fees in many of these retirement accounts forces many Americans to work years longer than necessary or than planned,” the report, released this week, concluded.

Most savers have only a vague idea how much they’re paying in 401(k) fees or what alternatives exist, though the information is provided in often dense and complex fund statements. High fees seldom lead to high returns.

And critics say they hurt ordinary investors – much more so than, say, Wall Street’s high-speed trading systems, which benefit pros and have increasingly drawn the eye of regulators.

Consider what would happen to a 25-year-old worker, earning the U.S. median income of $30,500, who puts 5 percent of his or her pay in a 401(k) account and whose employer chips in another 5 percent: • If the plan charged 0.25 percent in annual fees, a widely available low-cost option, and the investment return averaged 6.8 percent a year, the account would equal $476,745 when the worker turned 67 (the age he or she could retire with full Social Security benefits).

• If the plan charged the typical 1 percent, the account would reach only $405,454 – a $71,000 shortfall.

• If the plan charged 1.3 percent – common for 401(k) plans at small companies – the account would reach $380,649, a $96,000 shortfall.

The worker would have to work four more years to make up the gap. (The analysis assumes the worker’s pay rises 3.6 percent a year.)

The higher fees often accompany funds that try to beat market indexes by actively buying and selling securities. Index funds, which track benchmarks such as the Standard & Poor’s 500, don’t require active management and typically charge lower fees.

With stocks having hit record highs before being clobbered in recent days, many investors have been on edge over the market’s ups and downs. But experts say timing the market is nearly impossible. By contrast, investors can increase their returns by limiting their funds’ fees.

Most stock funds will match the performance of the entire market over time,

Tropical Smoothie Café owners Mike and Terri Ward help Vicki Gazda of Lake in the Hills recently in their Huntley store. The owners decided this year to give 100 percent of their profits to the Grafton Food Pantry in Huntley.

Working to serve Huntley café to donate all profits to area food pantry

By JOAN OLIVER editorial@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – The owners of Tropical Smoothie Café are taking their charitable works in the community to a whole new level this year.

Mike and Terri Ward, of Union, plan to donate 100 percent of the profits of the franchise restaurant located at 12162 S. Route 47 to feed the hungry through the Grafton Food Pantry.

When the Wards opened Tropical Smoothie Café, which serves healthy sandwiches, wraps and a variety of smoothies, in August 2011, they had a mission to give back, said Terri Ward, 56.

“We wanted to provide great food for the community, a place where kids can go on a date, and teach students and young people a work ethic,” she said.

The 35-seat café, whose motto is “Eat Better, Feel Better,” employs high school and local community college students as a way to provide them with spending money and work skills.

In addition, the business always has had a charitable aspect to it, Mike Ward said, citing donations to local groups, fundraising events and gift certificates for raffles.

But the Wards knew they wanted to do more.

Mike Ward, 55, cites the couple’s Christian faith and the book “The Hole in Our Gospel” by Richard Stearns as influences for their next step.

“What if we took this restaurant and found a way to use it to serve others,” Mike Ward said.

“Serving the least of these,” Terri Ward added.

Partnering with the Grafton Food Pantry gives the Wards a way to find those who could use help.

Because turning a restaurant into a nonprofit entity is not easy, the Wards instead created a nonprofit foundation called Dignified Dining.

The foundation allows the Wards to convert 100 percent of Tropical Smoothie Café’s profits into vouchers to be donated to the food pantry.

Employees Jen Vege and Michael Lou, both of Huntley, prepare orders at Tropical Smoothie Café. does not receive a salary from the café, and Terri earns a small amount for the catering work she does.

The aim for this year is to provide 6,000 meals, which amounts to a donation of close to $30,000, Mike Ward said.

For every meal purchased at the café, it’s possible to donate two to three vouchers to the food pantry, he said.

On March 1, the Wards presented the Grafton Food Pantry with their first 200 vouchers.

Designed to look like money, the vouchers are for adult meals including a food item, side and a drink or smoothie; kids’ meals; and smoothies.

A father of three children recently used the vouchers to take his family to the café for dinner.

“Now they can take their families out to eat,” Mike Ward said of helping families “dine with dignity.”

Tropical Smoothie Café also does a lot of smoothie sales at schools through an off-site fundraising program, Terri Ward said.

Smoothie vouchers will allow needy children to visit the café for a treat with their parents.

“It lets them be like their peers,” Terri Ward said.

The charitable effort has not gone unnoticed.

“The community has been extremely supportive,” Mike Ward said.

A tip jar near the register often is overflowing, and even the student workers have donated their tips to the cause.

The response at the Grafton Food Pantry has been equally positive.

“We’ve had a very positive response to them,” pantry secretary and community outreach director Harriet Ford said of the vouchers. “It’s a real nice experience for our clients and their families.”

Banks don’t always give the best financial advice Dear Dave, I want to roll over a 401(k), and my bank is encouraging me to roll it over to fixed annuities. Is this a good investment?

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

– John

Dear John, More times than not, when you go to a bank for investment advice, what you’ll get in the bargain is bad advice. And that’s the case here.

I’d move toward a traditional IRA, in a series of good growth stock mutual funds. Put it across four types of accounts: growth, growth and income, aggressive growth and international. What you’re looking for, John, is a great track record for your investments. You want a track record so ridiculously good that it

gives you a great sense of comfort, even though there’s no guarantee of what’s to come. And there are mutual funds out there that can do just that for you. I own one that’s over 70 years old, and it has averaged nearly 12 percent over that time.

Lots of people talk in “what ifs” when it comes to investing. Well, you can play that little game all day.

But if the economy goes completely down the tubes, and the government destroys things such as mutual funds and real estate completely, your little bank-recommended an-

nuity isn’t going to make it, either.

The banking system as a whole will fail if all the mutual funds close because they’re all based in publicly traded companies. And that means virtually every business you drive by on your way to work would be out of business. A bank’s not going to survive that kind of thing.

If you’re looking for things to help you survive the apocalypse, you’re talking about food and water. But if you want rational, wellreasoned investments, you need to look at growth stock mutual funds and paid-for real estate. That’s what I do.

– Dave

Dear Dave, Why do you think debt consolida-

tion is such a bad thing?

– Tessa

Dear Tessa, Debt consolidation is a bad thing because it makes you feel like you really did something to get out of debt and change your financial world when you didn’t. People come to me all the time saying stuff like, “Dave, I got a second mortgage. I paid off all my debt!” Well, no you didn’t pay off all your debt. You just moved it around.

That’s part of the catch when it comes to debt consolidation. If you get a lower payment and move things around a little bit, you feel like you actually accomplished something. The problem with that is you don’t do anything to address the

8FACES & PLACES

real problem, which is you.

Interest rates aren’t your problem, and the number of payments isn’t your problem. Your problem is the person you look at in the mirror every morning, Tessa. Until you fix that person and get mad enough at your financial situation and the real cause of it, you’ll never make any progress toward getting control of your finances. Trying to borrow your way out of debt is not a good plan.

To receive the recognition, dealers must be top performers in sales and customer service. Dealers also need to show a commitment to these areas on a long-term basis by retaining and providing customers with service using GM parts.

“We are honored to hold this prestigious award. I want to thank all of our wonderful customers. We could not have done this without them,” Ray Chevrolet President Ray Scarpelli said in a statement.

“This award reflects what our loyal customers already know firsthand – that Ray Chevrolet aims to provide the best Chevrolet shopping, service and ownership experience available anywhere.”

Another qualification that helped Ray Chevrolet earn the award is the high number of dealership employees who have passed through training courses and earned GM certifications, according to the news release.

GM has recognized dealerships in the U.S. with the Dealer of the Year Award since 2000.

“If we asked every restaurant to give 1 percent back and converted that to food vouchers, add that up,” Mike Ward said. “Think how many coupons that would be.”

For now, the Wards are getting the process worked out with Tropical Smoothie Café.

But so far it’s been a winwin for both the Wards and the food pantry.

“It’s nice that it’s a local restaurant taking care of local people in need,” Ford said.

8IN BRIEF Judge approves Detroit swaps deal with 2 banks DETROIT – Detroit can move ahead with a plan to settle a ruinous multimillion-dollar debt with two banks for $85 million, a judge said Friday as he also urged the bankrupt city and other creditors to reach more deals.

Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes signed off on the agreement to pay UBS and Bank of America. The settlement is just a small portion of the city’s $18 billion in liabilities, which include $12 billion not secured by taxes or other revenue.

Each bank will get $42.5 million spread out over a number of years – a “reasonable” amount, Rhodes said.

He said the plan reduces the amount of principal owed to the banks and extends the time to

pay what’s left. The agreement also doesn’t require a new loan, he said.

Rhodes had denied earlier proposals for $220 million and $165 million as too generous.

Detroit had pledged casino tax revenue in 2009 as collateral to avoid defaulting on pension debt payments. It allowed the city to get fixed interest rates on pension bonds with the banks, but the arrangement became too costly when interest rates plunged.

The city had owed $288 million on the so-called swaps deal, made in 2005 and 2006.

The settlement is important in emergency manager Kevyn Orr’s plan to restructure Detroit’s debt and get the city out of bankruptcy by mid-October.

Invoking the year 2000 is touchy subject in technology circles because it hearkens back to the end of the dot-com boom. The tech-laden Nasdaq composite index closed at an all-time high of 5,047 in March 2000 and then plunged 78 per-

cent before bottoming out at 1,108 in October 2002. The Nasdaq closed at nearly 4,358 early last month, its highest level since the 2000 peak, and has shed about 360 points, or 8 percent, since then.

SAN FRANCISCO – The stock market’s laws of gravity are inflicting pain on its highest fliers.

Just look at the list of technology trailblazers whose values have plummeted from record highs during the past few weeks. Investors have refocused on safer sectors such as utilities, health care and consumer staples instead of companies that promise potential growth from online services that are building huge audiences.

Stung by the abrupt change in sentiment, the stocks of recent stars such as Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are 20 percent to 45 percent below their recent peaks. The steep downfall is raising questions about whether this is just a fleeting fit of fickleness or the foreshadowing of another market bubble about to burst.

The optimists point out that technology remains a bright spot in an otherwise dreary economy as software, computers, mobile devices and the Internet fill increasingly instrumental roles in work, entertainment and communications.

“Tech is where the action is,” longtime industry analyst Roger Kay said.

Pessimists view the tech sector as ground zero for a long-overdue reckoning. They say the stock market that has been pumped up by the flood of money that the Federal Reserve has funneled into the long-term bond market since the financial meltdown of 2008 decimated the economy.

Now that those governmentbacked bond purchases are tapering off, people are starting to realize “the only thing holding this balloon up is the Fed blowing air in it,” said Fred Hickey, editor of The High-

Tech Strategist newsletter.

That’s why he believes investors are parachuting from stocks that had soared to dizzying heights in a short period of time.

Internet video subscription service Netflix Inc., for instance, nearly quadrupled in value last year to top the charts of the bellwether Standard & Poor’s 500 index. The company was worth $27 billion by the time its stock peaked at $458 early last month. At that price, investors were paying the equivalent of $117 for every $1 of Netflix’s projected earnings. Investors were betting Netflix will become increasingly prosperous as the number of U.S. subscribers to its $8-per-month video steaming services swells from 33 million at the end of last year to management’s long-term hopes for 90 million.

Even Netflix CEO Reed Hastings cited the “euphoria” surrounding the stock as he discussed the company’s quarterly earnings last October. “We have a sense of momentum, investors driving the stock price more than we might normally,” Hastings said in a video presentation.

“There’s not a lot we can do about it.”

Another mind-boggling run-up occurred after short messaging service Twitter Inc. priced its initial public offering at $26 per share in November. By late last year, Twitter’s stock had more than doubled to a peak of $74.73.

At that level, Twitter boasted a market value of roughly $50 billion, even though the San Francisco company has never turned a profit in its eight-year history. The stock lost nearly half its value as it tumbled down to about $40.

That still leaves Twitter with a market value of about $28 billion.

“It’s the most insane pricing I have seen since 2000,” Hickey said of technology

Today, the word “saloon” carries a bad connotation or most people. In the 1880s and 1890s, saloons were social gathering places for men in search of a welcoming place to imbibe. One such place was the William Wascher saloon located on what is now the west side of Spring Street south of Main Street in Cary.

The photo shows William Wascher in front of his newly opened saloon in 1893. Wascher, who was born in Germany and came to the United States in 1871, also owned an ice house on the Fox River. He used ice stored there to cool the beer that the Blatz brewery provided. Wascher, in 1893, was the first person in Cary to obtain a saloon liquor license.

Even well-educated savers ‘overwhelmingly fail to minimize fees’ in retirement plans • FEES Continued from page D1 so those with the lowest management costs will generate better returns, said Russel Kinnel, director of research for Morningstar.

“Fees are a crucial determinant of how well you do,” Kinnel said.

The difference in costs can be dramatic.

Each fund discloses its “expense ratio.” This is the cost of operating the fund as a percentage of its assets. It includes things such as record-keeping and legal expenses.

For one of its stock index funds, Vanguard lists an expense ratio of 0.05 percent.

State Farm lists it at 0.76 percent for a similar fund. The ratio jumps to 1.73 percent for a Nasdaq-based investment managed by ProFunds.

“ProFunds are not typical index mutual funds but are designed for tactical investors who frequently purchase and redeem shares,” ProFunds spokesman Tucker Hewes said. “The higher-than-normal expense ratios of these nontypical funds reflect the additional cost and efforts necessary to manage and operate them.”

Average fees also tend to vary based on the size of an employer’s 401(k) plan. The total management costs for individual companies with plans with more than $1 billion in assets has averaged 0.35 percent a year, according to BrightScope, a firm that rates retirement plans. By contrast, corporate plans with less than $50 million in assets have total fees approaching 1 percent.

Higher management costs do far more to erode a typical American’s long-term savings than does the high-speed trading highlighted in Michael Lewis’ new book, “Flash Boys.” Kinnel said computerized trades operating in milliseconds might cost a mutual fund 0.01 percent during the course of a year, a microscopic difference compared with yearly fees.

“Any effort to shine more light [on fees] and illustrating that impact is huge,” Kinnel said. “Where we’ve fallen down most is not providing greater guidance for investors in selecting funds.”

The Investment Company Institute, a trade group, said 401(k) fees for stock funds averaged 0.63 percent in 2012 (lower than the 1 percent average figure the Center for American Progress uses), down from 0.83 percent a decade earlier. The costs fell as more investors shifted into lower-cost index funds. They’ve also declined because funds that manage increasing sums of money have benefited from economies of scale.

“Information that helps people make decisions is useful,” said Sean Collins, the institute’s senior director of industry and financial analysis. “Generally, people pay

attention to cost. That shows up as investors tend to choose – including in 401(k) funds – investments that are in lower than average cost funds.”

But many savers ignore fees.

In a 2009 experiment, researchers at Yale and Harvard found that even well-educated savers “overwhelmingly fail to minimize fees. Instead, they placed heavy weight on irrelevant attributes such as funds’ [historical] annualized returns.”

The Labor Department announced plans last month

to update a 2012 rule for companies to disclose the fees charged to their 401(k) plans.

Fee disclosures resulting from the 2012 rule proved tedious and confusing, said Phyllis Borzi, assistant secretary for the Labor Department’s Employee Benefits Security Administration.

“Some are filled with legalese, some have information that’s split between multiple documents,” Borzi said.

Americans hold $4.2 trillion in 401(k) plans, according to the Investment Company Institute. An additional $6.5

trillion is in Individual Retirement Accounts.

For years, companies have been dropping traditional pension plans, which paid a guaranteed income for life. Instead, most offer 401(k)-style plans, which require workers to choose specific funds and decide how much to contribute from their pay. Workers also bear the risk that their investments will earn too little to provide a comfortable retirement.

The shift from traditional pensions threatens the retirement security of millions of Americans. Many don’t con-

on investing $1,000 in a plan.

Yet that figure, usually only a few dollars, doesn’t reflect how the fees rise into tens of thousands of dollars as the account grows over decades. The researchers say the Labor Department could require more explicit disclosure without going through Congress.

Part of the blame goes to employers that offer workers high-fee plans.

“The good options are out there,” said Alicia Munnell, director of the Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research.

At what point the strain becomes “prohibitively expensive” is not clear, but the bill’s language suggests that the employer must accept less financial value from the accommodation arrangement so long as there is still some degree of value provided by it.

The language of HB8 may still be amended, and of course it has not yet been enacted.

Due to the implications it has on employees and employers, however, it is certainly a bill worth watching.

And many pay far higher fees than they need to.

Of all those problems, fixing the fees is the easiest, Center for American Progress researchers Jennifer Erickson and David Madland say.

They are calling for a prominent label to identify how a plan’s fees compare with lowcost options. That information, now found deep inside documents, shows the annual fees

Dieters move past calories

By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – Obsessing over calories alone has left dieters with an empty feeling.

The calorie counting that defined dieting for so long is giving way to other considerations, such as the promise of more fiber or natural ingredients. That is chipping away at the popularity of products such as Diet Coke, Lean Cuisine and Special K, which became weight-watching staples primarily by stripping calories from people’s favorite foods.

Part of the problem: “Lowcalorie” foods make people feel deprived. Now, people want to lose weight while still feeling satisfied. And they want to do it without foods they consider processed.

Kelly Pill has been dieting since her son was born in 1990.

But the 54-year-old resident of Covina, Calif., made changes to her approach in recent years.

She doesn’t eat Lean Cuisine

microwavable meals as often because she doesn’t find them that filling. She also switched to Greek yogurt last year to get more protein.

“Regular yogurt is really thin,” Pill said. “It was low in calories, but it wasn’t filling.”

It’s not that people don’t care about calories anymore. Nutrition experts still say weight loss comes down to burning more calories than you eat.

But dieters are sick of foods that provide only fleeting satisfaction and seem to make them hungrier. The new thinking is that eating foods with more protein or fat keeps will make dieters less likely to binge later, even if they’re higher in calories.

“People are recognizing that it’s not enough to just go on a diet and lose weight. Nutrition comes more into play,” said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy group.

Many top brands are trying

to keep up with the trend: • Special K cereal’s sales are down 7 percent in the past two years, according to IRI, a market research firm based in Chicago. Kellogg last year rolled out “Special K Nourish” hot cereals that tout a blend of grains such as quinoa and barley. A Kellogg executive noted at the time that people are looking for nutritional benefits rather than just reduced calories.

• Nestle’s Lean Cuisine saw a 27 percent drop in sales in the past four years, according to IRI. So the company introduced an “Honestly Good” line that boasts of natural ingredients and offers more generous servings at about 390 calories per box, rather than the 300 calories for regular Lean Cuisine meals.

• Both Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi saw sales volume fall by nearly 7 percent last year, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest. That was steeper than declines for their full-calorie counterparts.

Long-established companies holding value • TECH STOCKS Continued from page D5 “This is like a little bubble that kind of popped up in the past year or so,” said Daniel Morgan, a portfolio manager at Synovus Trust Co., who focuses mostly on technology.

He noted that most tech stocks besides iPhone maker Apple Inc. have lagged other sectors since the current bull market began in March 2009.

While more speculative stocks such as Netflix and Twitter have seen big increases in the past year or so, Morgan noted that long-established tech companies are still holding up relatively well.

Many companies in this older crop, including Yahoo Inc., Microsoft, Cisco Systems Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Intel Corp., still haven’t surpassed

their record highs from the 1990s and 2000.

“Investors are rotating out of the risky or high-momentum stocks into safety, but they always do that,” Hickey concedes. He thinks an even safer choice is to sell all stocks now and save the cash until the current turmoil settles down.

There are other signs that the market may be overheating. One is the stampede of startups trying to go public.

Last year, 222 initial public offerings were priced in the U.S., the most since 2000, according to the research firm Renaissance Capital. The IPO pace so far this year has more than doubled from 2013. In a sign that investors are becoming less receptive to the market newcomers, the average return on this year’s batch of IPOs has been 13 percent,

down from last year’s average gain of 41 percent, according to Renaissance Capital.

The bubble worries also escalated during the past two months after Facebook Inc. agreed to pay $19 billion for mobile messaging service WhatsApp and then $2 billion for virtual reality device maker Oculus. WhatsApp has about 450 million users, but little revenue while Oculus hasn’t even released its first product.

Facebook financed most of those deals with its own stock, which had more than tripled in value since last summer.

“That’s one of the reasons people are casting a questioning eye on the tech sector,” Kay said. “I think there is a lot of value being generated, but also a lot of crazy stuff going on. We trust the market to sort it out for us.”

7 Things You Should Never Write in a Professional Email

By Dominique Rodgers Monster Contributing Writer Everyone, at one time or another, has said something they regret.

Maybe it was mean, incorrect or it led to a misunderstanding of some sort. It’s bad enough when it’s spoken, but when it’s in email, the breach can be tougher to repair. Your poor judgment and poor grammar can be shared over and over again.

Here are seven things you should leave out of all professional emails.

Informalities Professional emails should be kept as polished and formal as possible.

This isn’t the place for all lowercase letters, text language (gr8, lol, thx) or informal greetings such as “Hiya!” Another red flag: emoticons. “This is not high school and this person is not your friend,” says Adi Bittan, CEO of [ http:// ownerlistens.com/ ]OwnerListens, a company that encourages private communication between businesses and customers to avoid negative online reviews.

People are busy, Bittan says. So keep your comments as brief as possible. No one needs to read the 12 steps that led to your flat tire this morning; just say you’re going to be late.

Disagreements If you are having a disagreement with a coworker, or see potential for one, career coach [ http:// www.fasttrackpromotion.com/ ] Farnoosh Brock recommends you take the conversation offline. It’s easier to fly off the handle over a keyboard and say things you’d never say in person, plus “the last thing you need is a miscommunication via email to make matters worse.”

it’s unprofessional and will likely burn some bridges. Brock says it’s occasionally fine to accept a job via email, but it is never okay to resign that way. “Be professional and place a call in to your boss to discuss it live so that you save your reputation for possible future business relations.”

Extra Words That Undermine Your Message Often in an effort to be polite and cooperative, people will overdo it and wind up undermining themselves. Filler phrases such as “I’m sorry to bother you, but…” or “I might be completely wrong here, but…” will make you seem unsure of yourself, as if you are lacking skills or experience.

Anything Negative Brock also thinks an offline discussion is better for raising any issues or complaints about your coworkers. “This is not just avoiding gossip, which you must always do, in and out of email. This is about never speaking negatively about another co-worker. Leave those [remarks] for in-person conversations.”

“Never write ‘Does this make sense?’ in a professional email.

That is a question best asked of yourself before you hit send,” advises Emily Konouchi, director of content and communications for [ http://myemma.com/ ]Emma, an email marketing company. If you feel your message may be unclear, fix it before sending.

Long Winded Requests and Explanations

A Resignation

Any Email Lacking the Company Voice

Bittan also dislikes long-winded email explanations or requests.

Resigning from a job via email may feel great at the time, but

Every company has a unique voice, says Kelly Caldwell, dean of

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - A precise plan of attack will be necessary to your advancement this year. Don’t get distracted by giving in to meaningless or ineffective practices. Let your experience and intelligence keep you on the straight path to your dreams.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The rumor mill will start churning if you have been indiscreet. Spend some time with an older family member. They may prove to be a valuable and an unexpected source of advice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let your quest for success take a toll on your health. Be observant at your workplace. You

may make a mistake if you underestimate the aspirations of an associate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Accept invitations that you have been ignoring. Share your enthusiasm and fun-loving qualities by making room for lightheartedness and laughter. A new acquaintance could develop into an important friendship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You won’t be good company if you don’t cheer up. If you are feeling sullen and moody, leave others to their own devices and catch up on some chores or read a good book.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make sure all

of your documents are up to date. A casual meeting at a sporting or musical event could introduce you to someone who will have an impact on your future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have too many irons in the fire. You will lose respect if you fail to meet your obligations.

Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Opt for quality over quantity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t restrict yourself to the expectations and demands of others. Make the changes that will be best for you. Strive to reach your goals doing it your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your love life may be showing signs of strain. Have a meaningful discussion and clear the air.

Ignoring what’s going on will lead to upset and uncertainty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Participate in causes that you care about. Your sound and logical arguments will be instrumental in making changes and improvements to organizations you get involved with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t leave your future to chance. Follow your passion and dedicate your talents and abilities to attain your desires. Ignore anyone who tries

to hold you back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You have the ability to turn your life in a promising new direction. Keep reaching for the top. Your original and unorthodox ideas will find a new, quite profitable outlet.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t stray too far from home. Devote your time to domestic activities. Re-organizing and cleaning up your surroundings will improve your environment and clear your mind.

If prime-time television is any guide, I would sell off my Gillette stock – if I had any.

That’s because just about everybody with a Y chromosome these days seems to be walking around with three-day’s growth of beard on their jowls. Go ahead – check out popular guys on popular shows, guys such as Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. on “American Idol.”

In order to prepare for their appearances, they must stop shaving by Sunday morning, at the latest.

Not that I’m complaining. In fact, I like to foster a bit of foliage on my face every now and then. Or, to be more accurate, I prefer to avoid scraping a blade over my skin unless it’s absolutely necessary.

I spring from genes that favor facial hair in abundance. I started shaving by the time I entered high school, and by sophomore year I shaved every day.

Going to school unshaven wasn’t an option back then, in the years before the Supreme Court determined students had more rights than furniture. If the dean determined that you needed a shave, you shaved before you strolled those hallowed halls.

I didn’t mind it at first, because shaving meant I had entered the world of men. It was a glow of pride that didn’t last long. By junior year, I was sick of shaving. I would skip it on weekends, and in the summer months, I haired up as much as Mom and Dad would allow.

Because my summer jobs were always in factories or construction sites, I could get away with it most days. Heck, Dad worked in a steel mill. He understood.

I grew my first goatee in the summer before senior year, and I wore a pork pie hat to top off the look. It garnered strange stares in my neighborhood. But,

of course, my chin had to be naked again before senior year started.

When I hit college in 1966, at a time when student rights to free expression were just beginning to bloom, I cultivated a fine mustache. Paul McCartney had just grown one and I liked the look, even though nobody else in my classes had yet jumped on board.

My psychology professor opined that I was rebelling against my father.

I said, “But if Dad also wears a mustache, wouldn’t that mean that I’m trying to emulate him?”

“Well, does your father wear a mustache?” she asked.

“You tell me,” I said. “You’re the one who has everybody figured out just by looking at him.”

I didn’t do well in that class. The Supreme Court had your back on facial hair, but you were still on your own with smart-aleck wisecracks.

Still, I wore that mustache through college and graduate school, shaving it only once – for my wedding, because although my wife also liked it, she knew it was probably just a trend and she didn’t want to see it in wedding photos for the rest of our lives. I grew it back right after the honeymoon. I wore that mustache to my job interview to become a teacher, where I was asked if I would be willing to part with it again.

“Well, if it’s a condition of employment …” I began.

“Oh, we’re not saying that!” the principal blurted, because by then the Supreme Court took a dim view of that sort of restriction. “It’s just that none of our other teachers wear facial hair, and we thought you might feel out of place.”

I shaved it off, but when I came to work the first day, I found fully a third of the male teachers returned from

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

summer break with mustaches or beards – along with a couple of women teachers.

The trend finally had caught on in mainstream America. I grew it back by Thanksgiving, rankled that it would seem I was following instead of leading.

Over the next few years I grew long sideburns to complete the look. When my teenage grandkids look at old pictures of me, they are convinced I was a porn star through most of the ‘70s.

I just smile and shrug. The grandsons look at me with newfound respect.

Over the years, the sideburns grew or shrank, and even filled in with a full beard, but it was always facial hair of one sort or another until about 1990, when I decided to lose it all and go barefaced into the world. It was a good choice for me, because by then the hair atop my skull was so thin, a beard made my head look upside-down.

I’ve been clean-shaven ever since, barring a few nostalgic forays back to an occasional brief goatee or two.

But now, with every cool guy on TV strutting around with bristly jowls, sometimes I like to skip a day or two with the razor, just to get my cool on.

My wife doesn’t mind. In fact, she sort of likes it, as long as I don’t let it get out of hand. I don’t know what other people think about how I look, because whenever I walk past them at the store, they avert their eyes. I think they’re afraid I’ll ask for a couple of bucks to buy a bowl of soup and a bottle of Walmart wine.

I wonder if Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. have the same problem.

4 SundaySupper Middle Eastern Roasted Butternut Squash

AP photo

Squash bridges winter to summer

By J.M. HIRSCH

Tzatziki (purchased)

Associated Press Before spring truly arrives, I wanted to squeeze in just one more recipe for roasted butternut squash.

It’s because roasting does such wonderful things to squash. It caramelizes the natural sugars. But at the same time, it’s also deeply savory. And then you have that yinyang of roasted, crunchy exterior against the creamy, tender interior.

But we can’t ignore spring is here. So to give this staple of hearty winter meals a lighter touch, I topped it with a soft-cooked egg.

MIDDLE EASTERN ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH SOFT-BOILED EGGS Containers of tzatziki (a garlic-spiked yogurt sauce) can be found next to the hummus at the grocer.

Start to inish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 3-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic powder 4 eggs 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 tablespoon sesame seeds 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 teaspoon fennel seeds 1 teaspoon kosher salt Zest of 1/2 lemon

Heat the oven to 425 F. Mound the squash on a rimmed baking sheet, then drizzle it with the olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Use your hands to mix the squash until well coated. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned and tender. Meanwhile, prepare the eggs and seasoning blend. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Set the pan over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Cool until easily handled, but not cold, about 5 minutes.

To make the seasoning blend, in a small, dry skillet over low heat, combine the peppercorns with the sesame, cumin, coriander and fennel seeds. Toast, stirring, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and let cool. Once cool, grind until ine. Mix in the salt and lemon zest. Set aside. Once the squash has roasted, divide it between 4 serving plates. Carefully peel the eggs and set one in the center of each serving. Sprinkle the squash and egg with the seasoning blend. Accompany with tzatziki on the side of the plate. Use a fork to break the white of each egg and allow the yolk to spill onto the squash before serving.

In the cards Crystal Lake counselor creates life coaching toolkit as self-help option Story by JOAN OLIVER • editorial@nwherald.com

A

Crystal Lake cognitive behavioral therapist wants people to know that help with positive changes is in the cards.

Dr. Dawn Levitan, a licensed clinical professional counselor at Mathers Clinic, has created Life Coaching Cards Toolkits to offer a self-help option to people dealing with issues such as depression and mood disorders; anxiety, fears and phobias; eating disorders; and grief.

Other toolkits cover goal-setting and achievement, writing affirmations, journaling, life lessons and happiness. There’s even a toolkit to assist professionals with patients in hospital or outpatient settings.

“I wanted to make a self-help tool that anybody can use, like individuals, patients,” Levitan said.

“They are good for inpatient hospitals, outpatient programs, just self-help – someone who just wants

to work through their grief or work on their eating disorder or depression or anxiety privately.”

Each of the 10 toolkits consists of between 30 and 40 laminated 4-by-6 notecards held together by a ring clasp.

“Each title is what I think is the best of cognitive behavioral therapy and basic life coaching principles,” she said.

Levitan, who lives in Prairie Grove and grew up in Crystal Lake, brings 20 years of experience to the project, having earned her bachelor’s degree in chemistry and psychology from Barat College in Lake Forest, her master’s degree in bio-psychology from the University of Chicago, and her doctorate of education in educational psychology, special education and counseling from Northern Illinois University.

Dr. Dawn Levitan, a licensed clincial professional counselor in Crystal Lake, created Life Coaching Cards Toolkits to help those dealing with depression, anxiety and other issues.

WHERE TO GET THEM • The Life Coaching Cards Toolkits are available at Amazon.com or at www.lifescopescoaching.com. They cost $39.95 each.

• They’re also available as a group for iPads on iTunes for $2.99. Look for it under the Lifestyle, Health and Wellness category.

• More information about the toolkits also is available at Dr. Dawn Levitan’s website, www.lifescopescoaching. com

The Life Coaching Cards Toolkits encourage growth, according to their creator Dr. Dawn Levitan. The front of each card contains a quote, and people can write on the back.

Each kit comes with an erasable pencil, making the notecards interactive.

• CARDS Continued from page 6 “At Barat College, I started out in psychology, but as I was doing my undergrad there, I realized that you can’t understand psychology unless you understand chemistry and how the brain works,” Levitan said.

Her approach to helping patients is to figure out what is holding them back and then move them forward.

“My approach has always been to get to the bottom line first and if there’s stuff to clean up, clean it up and move forward,” Levitan said.

Although the packs are based on inspirational cards, Levitan’s toolkits offer something more.

On the front of each card there’s always a quote. On the back is space to write, and each kit comes with an erasable pencil, making the notecards interactive.

“They can always erase them, and next time they can just start over,” Levitan said.

In the toolkit “Unwind Your Mind and Anxiety,” users are walked through the feelings and physical symptoms associated with anxiety. They then are asked to list their own symptoms and people or situations they associate with them.

Other cards offer suggestions to avoid anxiety and cues to manage panic attacks.

“What’s cool about it and what my patients love about it is that they’re reusable and pretty indestructible,” Levitan said.

The packs also are portable.

“In the self-help literature, there’s tons of great workbooks, and they’re really good,” Levitan said. “But people don’t like, I find, to go anywhere with ‘The Anxiety Workbook’ or ‘I Have an Eating Disorder Workbook.’”

Levitan uses the card packs with her own patients.

“We’ll use them in here sometimes if they need more direction, or they’ll take them home and work on them, then come back and talk about whatever they worked on,” she said.

The toolkits also are being used by a hospital system on the East Coast, Levitan said, as well as in a

hospital in Chicago.

“The clinicians love them because they keep the patients focused, they are an interactive tool, and they get to take them home,” she said.

Rhonda Fried, a psychiatric advanced practice nurse at Mathers Clinic, has found the toolkit “Orderly Eating” to be particularly helpful for the patients who are going to have gastric bypass surgery or who have recently completed it.

“For pre-gastric bypass, they have to show that they can control their appetite and lose weight before they’ll do the surgery on them,” Fried said.

The toolkits can help patients control their eating.

“And then post-gastric bypass, they still have to change their habits,” Fried said. “At the very beginning, when they first come out of surgery, they can’t really eat, so it’s very easy for them, and they lose a ton of weight. Then they get them to a plateau again.

“And that’s where they have to start really working on their actual eating habits.”

Fried said the toolkits have been even more important for those dealing with anxiety disorders.

“We can calm them down in our office, but they need something that’s with them to help them work on those new skills on an ongoing basis,” she said.

Levitan’s toolkits also are available as an app for iPads. With the app, available on iTunes, all 10 toolkits are grouped.

“This is like getting a counselor in an iPad,” she said.

Levitan eventually plans to develop more topics in the toolkit format.

“I have another couple of new topics that I’m working on, one that is bullying, which is really good because there is so much of that … happening with kids and adults.”

In the next few months, she will be focusing on marketing and sales.

“This is a brand-new selfhelp tool that is different from workbooks because they get you down to the bottom line quickly, and they move you forward,” Levitan said.

Seasonal

stowaways Use these tips to pack up winter items

By NICOLE ANZIA Special to The Washington Post The long winter is over, and it’s finally time to put away the sweaters, down jackets, wool mittens and flannel sheets. Although it’s tempting to toss everything into a bin and deal with it in nine months, try to resist the quick fix and take some time to put the gear away properly. You’ll be glad you did in December.

Coats and jackets Before storing winter coats and jackets, empty the pockets. Wool coats should be dry-cleaned. Snow pants, down and synthetic jackets, as well as fleece, can be washed and dried at home. Store your clean items in breathable garment or storage bags, and use a mothball substitute or cedar to keep insects away.

Gloves, hats and scarves Make sure mittens and gloves are matched with their partners. If you didn’t wear one of your hats or scarves this winter, chances are you never will, so give it away.

And even if you washed your favorite hat

Clear storage bins can help cut down clutter and help you see what’s where. before the last snowfall, wash it again, along with all your other winter accessories, before you put them away. Check that everything is completely dry before you put it in a large, labeled breathable bag.

Store all outdoor gear in one place – either a spare closet or the base-

ment, if moisture isn’t an issue.

Boots Snow boots should be wiped clean and stored, but those that are heavily worn should be assessed for damage, to determine whether repairs are needed. Leather boots should be cleaned with leather cleaner and suede boots should be professionally cleaned before you put them away. To help the boots retain their shape, fill them with scrunched-up plastic bags or tissue paper or use boot shapers. Store the boots in their original boxes or in a plastic boot bin.

Sweaters

Photo provided / West Elm

A storage bench like this one from West Elm is great if space is tight.

Sweaters don’t last forever. Even though it can be difficult to say goodbye to your favorite sweater, don’t go to the trouble to clean and store sweaters that are worn thin or pilled. Likewise, if you didn’t wear one of your sweaters this winter, you probably don’t need it. As with other items, make sure your sweat-

ers are properly cleaned and then store in them in breathable bags with either cedar blocks or a moth deterrent. If you’re tight on space, consider using a storage ottoman or bench or under-the-bed bins.

Bedding Finding a space to store bulky winter bedding is a challenge.

Down comforters should be professionally laundered and stored in a large, breathable cotton bag, unless you have space to cover and hang them. Compressing the down in a storage bag is fine, but hanging it helps to maintain its loft. Clean flannel sheets and blankets should be put in bins labeled with their size. And while you’re at it, this is a good time to wash pillows, pillow protectors and mattress pads.

Clearing out your closets to make room for warm weather clothes and gear is worth the little effort it requires. The next step: locate the swimsuits and shorts you packed away last September.

BELOW AND INSET: Irish dance teacher Dearbhla Fay works with Lauren Geissler, 13, and Ellie Stroh, 15, in Crystal Lake.

dance STUDENTS LEARN FROM IRISH DANCE CHAMP, FORMER RIVERDANCER

earbhla Fay comes from a family with very fancy footwork.

The 13-time All-Ireland and International Irish Dance Champion holds the record to date for wins, beating out her older brother’s record of 10, who took the title from their mother, whose record was 8. Fay hangs on to the title, but welcomes contenders.

“No one’s beaten me yet, and I’m 36,” she said.

By way of Dublin, Fay has been around the world and back competing and performing Irish dance, grabbing her first competition win at the age of 8 and later joining the world-renowned Riverdance.

D

She retired from competition at 23 and took her teacher’s exam in order to train others in her craft.

“Once you take your teacher’s exam you can no longer compete, so it’s a decision you have to be passionate about,” Fay said.

She now spends her days teaching traditional Irish dance at the McCormack Fay Academy of Irish Dance under the Woodstock Ballet ComDearbhla Fay pany. The academy’s title is a combination of her mother’s maiden name and her surname, typical of Irish tradition.

There are locations in Woodstock, Crystal Lake and Oak Forest, with students ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old.

Her troop participates in many competitions, and the 2013 Midwest champion, 16-year-old Lily Kunzie, is a student of the academy.

Fay, who lives in Tinley Park to be close to Chicago because it reminds her of Dublin’s “big city” atmosphere, said she loves the feel and the people in the Midwest.

Fay said she gets a lot of satisfaction from teaching and enjoys seeing her students do well, but misses certain aspects of her life in Riverdance.

“There’s good and bad in everything,” said Fay. “I love teaching and it’s nice to have a solid home, but I miss touring sometimes and just the show lifestyle, the buzz of it all.”

Fay joined Riverdance in 1996 and credits the international Irish dance show for giving young professionals an outlet to display their talent while making a living doing what they love.

She continued to perform full-time through 2003, before settling down in the Chicago area to teach others what had

become her lifelong fervor.

“The traveling and show lifestyle was great, but there comes a point where you want to settle somewhere and have a life, a home,” she said.

Fay’s father Martin, a musician in the Irish Chieftains, often brought his family to the United States for a few months in the summer for vacation, planting the seed for her growing love of the US. “I couldn’t wait to get back here after the European tour. I love it here. I’m comfortable here,” said Fay. Fay appeases her performance drive by jumping in with her brother’s dance company in Dublin to dance in shows now and again.

What came to be her lifelong passion started as more of a nuisance than anything, she admitted.

“In Ireland, dancing is more forced upon you, mandatory like playing a sport after school. When I was younger it was very uncool because it wasn’t really a choice,” she said.

She likes teaching in the US because her students do it willingly, and they have a different passion for it, she said.

It takes dedication, and she sees that in her students.

Though the art of Irish dancing has lost some of its momentum from the initial launch of the Riverdance phenomena, Fay said she sees it making a rise again.

“It seems to be getting new legs. The traveling shows are bringing new life to it and it’s building up again,” Fay said.

It doesn’t take Irish blood to become a successful Irish dancer either. It’s all about drive, she said.

“Students with drive can often surpass those with natural talent because they want it more. The passion is there and they work hard,” she said.

“Anyone can be molded into the best dancer they can be. Natural talent or not, they can do it.”

12 Demand for Disney’s ‘Frozen’

Jessica (Schlinder) Michael Potts Wedding

dress takes buyers by surprise

By CHRISTOPHER PALMERI Bloomberg News LOS ANGELES – Aaryn Costello is searching for the perfect dress, a 30-inch-long light-blue number with a sparkly bodice and a detachable white cape.

That would be the Princess Elsa dress from the Walt Disney Co. hit “Frozen,” the most sought-after fashion item among the kindergarten set.

Stores nationwide are sold out, and originals are being offered for as much as $1,600 on eBay. Desperate parents are sewing their own or shelling out up to $225 for replicas on craft sites such as Etsy.com.

“Every mom in the world is dying for this dress,” said Costello, a Los Angeles marketing consultant with a “Frozen”-obsessed 4-yearold. “The lucky moms who have found this dress for their daughters brag about their success and unanimously proclaim how their kid can’t stop wearing it.”

Toys, dolls and clothes are a big part of the strategy at Disney, which happens to be the world’s largest licensing company. And it has hit a merchandise-sales jackpot with Elsa, also known as the Snow Queen of Arendelle, and her ice gown.

“The property is hot,” said Sean McGowan, a toy industry analyst at Needham & Co. in New York.

Retailers didn’t order enough of the gowns, said Dena O’Loughlin, director of marketing for Disney-licensed girls costumes at Jakks Pacific in Malibu, Calif., which sells to mass-market chains such as Wal-Mart Stores and Target. Stores sold out in January of Jakks’ version – suggested retail price: $20 – and the company is bringing in reinforcements by air and boat from factories in China.

“It has been challenging to keep up with demand,” O’Loughlin said.

Buyers just didn’t anticipate how big “Frozen” would be and stocked about as many of the ice gowns as they did Rapunzel outfits from Disney’s 2010 “Tangled,” O’Loughlin said.

After the movie opened in the U.S. on Nov. 22, “Frozen” went on to become the top-grossing animated film of all time with worldwide theater receipts of almost $1.1 billion, according to Box Office Mojo. Counting revenue from DVDs and television, Disney stands to make almost $1 billion in operating profit from the film, according to estimates from analysts from SNL Kagan and Gabelli & Co. That’s before merchandise sales, which the analysts didn’t calculate.

“We are thrilled that audiences formed instant connections to the characters, and we are working hard to get additional products into stores as soon as possible,” said Tasia Filippatos, a spokeswoman for Burbank, Calif.-based Disney, in an email. She declined to comment on the size of the “Frozen” merchandise market.

Early on, Elsa dress sales were slow and stores thought they’d over-ordered. “There was big uh-oh moment at the beginning,” O’Loughlin said.

As sales began to climb and orders poured in after the Christmas holiday, Jakks had trouble restocking because of Chinese New Year, which shut down manufacturing in that country for a month until mid-February.

Much of the “Frozen” merchandise is made in China.

It takes two to three months for retailers to receive new shipments of goods manufactured there, said Jim Silver, editor of Time to Play magazine, a toy publication.

Phenomenal Quartz When thinking about quartz, the first thing that comes to mind is amethyst, rose quartz or citrine. But did you know that quartz also has some phenomenal varieties that are not as well known? Today I will discuss drusy, rutilated and aventurine quartz.

Drusy Quartz: Essentially a geode that has been carved to wear in a piece of jewelry, drusy quartz is a stone that has tiny quartz crystals that have formed on top of a host rock (usually quartz or chalcedony). Drusies form when ground water forces dissolved silica crystals into the porous areas of an already formed rock. Rapid cooling occurs which causes the formation of tiny quartz crystals.The crystals look like tiny bits of salt or sugar covering the surface of the host rock.

Drusy is believed to be associated with peace, tranquility, patience, intuition, unconditional love and even aid in the relief of ulcers and arthritis.

Rutilated Quartz: Also known in the gemology world as sagenitic quartz, rutilated quartz is a colorless piece of rock crystal quartz that is filled with beautiful rutile inclusions.The rutile needles are often large and beautiful and in unusual shapes and textures contributing to the beauty and allure of the gemstone.The rutile needles can be reddish, golden, greenish, silvery or grey with golden as the most popular.There are not many historical records concerning rutilated quartz, but a few documents have dated it back to early Roman and Greek times. It has also been recorded that French doctors used to prescribe it to cure bronchitis.

Aventurine Quartz: Generally green in color, aventurine quartz is a clear piece of rock crystal that is heavily included with mica inclusions that, not only make the stone appear green, but also gives it a metallic sheen called Aventurescence.The phenomenon of Aventurescence ranges in intensity from weak to intense.This depends on the amount and size of the metallic inclusions. Aventurine is known to be a stone of luck. It is known to ease anxiety and emotion and it will help one to make choices from the heart.

When boyfriend leaves, girlfriend may move on Dear Abby: I’m in a tricky situation. My boyfriend of four years, “Ian,” and I took a break from our relationship for two months because he was scared he’d miss out on the single life. We started hanging out again soon after, and everything fell into place.

We were talking recently, and he mentioned that he’s planning to move across the country to San Francisco to be near his family. He made it plain he wants to live on the West Coast “forever.” I am close to my family – closer than Ian is to his.

We’re both 24, and while we’re not going to get engaged anytime soon, I’m not sure what to do. We love each other, but the geography is causing so many issues. Please advise. – New York Girl Dear N.Y. Girl: It’s good that you and Ian aren’t planning on becoming engaged anytime soon, because you have some serious thinking to do.

If you plan on having a family and want your parents to be close to their grandchildren, it would be better for you to find another boyfriend. I’m advising you and Ian to take another break – this time for YOUR benefit – to see which is more important to you: the man or the location.

Dear Abby: This “issue” with my wife may seem trivial, but it’s making me crazy. I like to cook; she doesn’t.

When I cook it’s an expression of love, and our family sits down together to enjoy the meal. We don’t watch TV and we don’t answer the phone.

Sounds ideal, wouldn’t you say?

The problem is, after I put the food on the table, my wife gets up and starts pulling other food from the fridge to microwave. Or she’ll start making a salad.

These last-minute additions make me furious. She knows it, but won’t stop. Either she “doesn’t want the leftover to go bad” or she thinks some-

thing is “missing” from the table.

I say she should prepare these additions while I’m making dinner so everything will be on the table at the same time, or else forget it. What do you think? – Steaming in the Kitchen

in Texas Dear Steaming: Is the layout of your kitchen conducive to tandem cooking? If it’s not, that may be why your wife goes in there after you’re no longer using it.

Do you tell your wife what you will be preparing for dinner and ask if there is anything else she wants included?

That may prompt her to think ahead so she wouldn’t have to get up and leave the table.

If the answer to my questions is yes, then there may be something going on in your relationship for which she’s trying to punish you.

Dear Abby: My daughter goes to a preschool in a church where we are

not members. Pastor “Joe” is very involved with the classes, often chatting with the parents and calling them by their first names.

I have seen him around town various times, but I’m never sure how to address him. I feel strange calling him “Pastor” since he isn’t my minister.

On the other hand, calling him “Joe” doesn’t quite seem right either.

How should a man of the cloth be greeted on the street? – Feeling Awk-

ward in Jamestown, N.Y. Dear Feeling Awkward: I think you’re asking the wrong person.

Why not ask HIM how he’d like to be addressed? I remember a delightful priest in Chicago, who when meeting people would immediately say, “Call me John.” I used to refer to him as Father Call-Me-John.

Years of denial end in long-needed recovery Like so many families, Kate’s looked pretty good on the outside but wasn’t so good on the inside. Her Mom was a full-blown, drink-untilyou-fall-down, embarrassedto-bring-your-friends-home, alcoholic. Her Dad was just angry.

Kate would tell you that her Dad’s rage did at least as much damage as her Mom’s drinking, although she understands today that it was all part of the same disease.

Her Dad had a good job, they went to church, they looked good, but lived lives, as Kate put it, of “quiet desperation.” Both her brothers had drinking and drug prob-

lems and are now in recovery. Kate was the last to join the parade.

She was always a binge drinker and was able to “control” her drinking to a certain extent.

She stayed sober through two pregnancies, which convinced her of her non-alcoholic status. She did notice, however, that since she wasn’t drinking, during her first pregnancy, her anger went off the charts and things such as dishes, glasses and doors weren’t safe around her.

When someone told her one beer would be OK, her response was, “Why would anyone want one beer if I

can’t have a dozen?”

Her family legacy of rage was what initially drove her to her first Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting.

Her early ACOA experience, learning about the disease, boundaries in relationship, honesty and handling feelings was invaluable to her and helped keep things between the lines until her second child. After another nine-month stint of “forced sobriety,” the wheels came off the wagon. Kate’s drinking picked up speed, and she found that she was either drinking, recovering from a hangover or thinking about drinking.

Her husband, a non-alcoholic, suggested they give up alcohol for Lent and to prove to him she didn’t have a problem she agreed … and failed within 48 hours.

Shortly after that incident, Kate went to her first AA meeting. She had little problem relating to the stories and the recovery process, but once the drinking stopped, she convinced herself she was OK and stopped going to meetings.

Several years later, after an interstate move and a job change, Kate came emotionally unglued.

Angry, scared and confused; with nowhere else that

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

she knew to go, she re-engaged with a new AA community and finally has found some peace.

She would tell you that even though she thought the move was the worst thing that ever happened, she might now consider that it was the right thing.

Even though she wasn’t drinking, her emotional pain pushed her back to what sustained her then and sustains her today.

Zooey Deschanel collaborated with designer Tommy Hilfiger on the “To Tommy, From Zooey” collection.

Deschanel talks fashion, Prince and ‘New Girl’

By SANDY COHEN The Associated Press WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Zooey Deschanel is almost bubbling over with excitement: Her show “New Girl” is a hit, she just released a pop song with Prince, she’s working on a movie with Bill Murray and Bruce Willis, and now she’s sitting in a Tommy Hilfiger store filled with racks of dresses she helped design.

It’s fitting, then, that bubbles are a theme of her new fashion collaboration with Hilfiger, To Tommy From Zooey.

The 34-year-old actress talked with The Associated Press about working with Prince, being true to herself and what the future holds for “New Girl” couple Nick and Jess.

AP: There are 14 dresses in your new collection. Will Jess get to wear some on “New Girl”?

Deschanel: She’s wearing three of them in the final episode, actually. It was really lucky. Everything took place on a boat, and I said to our costume designer, ‘Do you think it would be OK to put some of the dresses in the mix?’ ... So we got some press samples and then they all got chosen! They didn’t even know they were my dresses, either!

AP: Prince guest-starred on the show, and you have a single out together. Are you two buds?

Deschanel: He’s very mysterious. I couldn’t venture to call him my bud. He’s too, like, aaaaah (she looks

skyward in reverence). He is incredibly nice and so generous and just so talented – a really wonderful person and I feel lucky to know him. It’s cool because I make records with (my indie-folk duo) She & Him. We’ve made four records, but we’ve never been a pop band. The Prince thing was almost by accident, because (producers) said we’d like it if Jess goes up and sings with Prince, so I did a vocal for the sound department. They sent it to Prince, and the next day they’d mixed that vocal in ... and then they released it! It’s so exciting.

AP: As a producer on the show, do you get a say in what happens between Jess and Nick, who coupled up this season?

Deschanel: I do to some degree. My production role is more of an on-set role and keeping a lot of stuff going, helping the ship run. ... So I’ll make suggestions, but I can’t be in the writers’ room because I’m on set all the time.

I knew sort of where I wanted it to head and it did. This is obviously a relationship people are really invested in. And when they got us together last year, I knew that they had to break up.

But I knew that once we got them together, you need to pay your dues and have them together long enough that for evermore it will be the ghost that haunts these people. I think that makes for a really interesting fourth season and I’m really excited to get into that, because I think now is where it gets interesting.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“Draft Day” STARRING: Kevin Costner, Chadwick Boseman, Jennifer Garner

PLOT: At the NFL draft, general manager Sonny Weaver has the opportunity to rebuild his team when he trades for the No. 1 pick.

He must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with NFL dreams.

RATED: PG-13 for brief strong language and sexual references TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes VERDICT: If “Moneyball” could transform the inner workings of a baseball front office into Oscar-worthy entertainment, it was only a matter of time before a writer injected some drama into the NFL’s player-selection process. And here it is: “Draft Day.” It’s about the games before the games. And if writers Scott Rothman and Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Rajiv Joseph had stuck to the basics – if the plot was just business – it might have worked. Kevin Costner plays Sonny Weaver Jr., general manager of the Cleveland Browns. His team is struggling, and his father, the former coach, has recently died. He also just found out that his girlfriend, Ali (Jennifer Garner), is pregnant. That’s a lot of stress, but today is draft day, and things are getting interesting.

Cleveland could scoop up standout quarterback prospect Bo Callahan (Josh Pence). But it leaves the team at a disadvantage. What to do? It’s hard to say, given that everyone has a different opinion, from Coach Penn (Denis Leary) to owner Anthony Molina (Frank Langella) to Sonny’s own mother (Ellen Burstyn, who almost completely steals the show with her Twitter knowledge). Costner’s delivery is flat. Garner has done some exceptional work, but can’t seem to land the sassy one-liners.

Ivan Reitman directed “Draft Day,” and the man who brought us “Ghostbusters” and “Dave” presents many of the conversations in a splitscreen way. You’ll try hard to focus, but by the time the game ends, you realize it was no use. You’ve just been duped out of your money. –

The Washington Post

“Oculus” STARRING: Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Katee Sackhoff

PLOT: A woman tries to exonerate her brother, who was convicted of

LOCAL SHOWTIMES murder, by proving that the crime was committed by a supernatural phenomenon.

RATED: R for terror, violence, some disturbing images and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes

VERDICT: Tightly paced between two time periods, and edited so they become a blur, “Oculus” is a hallucinatory ghost story that packs serious punch. In the present, we have Tim (Brenton Thwaites), getting out of a mental hospital at age 21, having shot his father dead 10 years earlier.

Greeting him is his slightly older sister, Kaylie (Karen Gillan), who grew up in foster homes after the killing. And so we go back 10 years, when young Tim (Garrett Ryan) and young Kaylie (Annalise Basso) are moving into a new house with their father (Rory Cochrane) and mother (Katee Sackhoff). Dad has bought an antique mirror that starts driving Dad mad. In the present, Kaylie has found the mirror and brought it back to their old house. In an effort to prove it’s haunted, she has rigged the place with all sorts of monitors and cameras. None of this seems likely to end well. The key to director and co-writer Mike Flanagan’s great success here is the momentum he builds. He moves so seamlessly that time eventually blends and he’s telling both stories at once. Yes, there’s a bit of blood and Sackhoff takes some terrible turns here, but “Oculus” is haunting because it messes with your head.

That’s where the ghosts are. – The

Associated Press

“Rio 2” STARRING: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jemaine Clement PLOT: It’s a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids after they’re hurtled from Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-tobeak with the vengeful Niguel and meets the most fearsome adversary of all: his father-in-law.

RATED: G TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes VERDICT: A vivid and delightful animated spectacle, “Rio 2” is chock-full of colorful 3-D wonder and jubilant musical numbers set against a tale of family dynamics and environmental dilemmas. Supervised by composer John Powell, more emphasis has been placed on the music of this film, which benefits

But it’s Chenoweth’s Broadway-like delivery that trumps all when she belts out an anthem on forbidden love. With so much going on, it’s a wonder this kids’ movie is only five minutes longer than the original.

But for the music and brilliantly picturesque look, it’s worth the 3-D ticket. – The Associated Press
