Corion V. Simpson, 18

James Cornelius, 18

According to police, Simpson, Cornelius and two other juveniles have been charged.

WOODSTOCK – Three people were charged Tuesday with criminal sexual assault, and a fourth with unlawful possession of child pornography, after a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in Woodstock, police said. Corion V. Simpson and James Cornelius, both 18, of Woodstock, and a 15-year-old juvenile were all charged

Woodstock police began investigating the incident in late February after the father of the 15-year-old girl became aware of the Facebook posting, Lowen said. The girl was then taken to the Child Advocacy Center of McHenry County for interviews. Underage drinking happened at the party, which was attended by two to three other people not involved in the assault, Lowen said.

with criminal sexual assault after allegedly assaulting a 15-year-old girl during a party inside an undisclosed Woodstock residence, Police Chief Robert Lowen said. Another juvenile during the incident recorded the assault, which was later posted on Facebook and used to intimidate the victim, Lowen said. The second juvenile, who was 17 at the time of the incident, was charged with child pornography possession.

Lowen said the four people charged were all classmates, while the 15-yearold girl was not a classmate. Woodstock District 200 officials confirmed that Simpson and Cornelius attend Woodstock High School. Simpson and the 15-year-old juvenile also were charged with criminal sexual abuse. Simpson also was charged with intimidation.

RIDGEFIELD SCHOOL BUILDING TURNS 100

Could face tough road through Senate By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press

Al Gimpel of Grayslake tapes a notification stating only kosher foods are allowed during Passover on Sunday at the McHenry County Jewish Congregation in Crystal Lake. The Jewish congregation is celebrating a trio of anniversaries this month, including the 100th anniversary of its building, the 35th anniversary of its congregation and 10th anniversary with its rabbi.

jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – From schoolhouse to synagogue, Marian Michaels has been integral in much of the Ridgefield School Building’s 100-year history. Michaels, who first moved to Crystal Lake in 1959, served as a substitute teacher in the two-room schoolhouse until it closed in 1980.

For more from the McHenry County Jewish Congregation anniversary preparations, visit NWHerald.com. It was not long until she returned, this time as a founding member of the McHenry County Jewish Congregation that purchased the building in 1981.

“Never in a million years,” Michaels said of thinking her classroom would become a place of worship. “When the synagogue bought the building I couldn’t believe it. But it has a great charm to it and how wonderful that it is still being used after 100 years.” Now Michaels, who was there for the building’s transformation, will have a chance to

SPRINGFIELD – A proposal to dramatically overhaul the state’s school funding formula and allocate more money to poorer districts moved ahead in the Illinois Senate on Tuesday. The regionally divisive issue, however, likely faces a tough road in gaining support from both parties in both chambers. The bill, sponsored “Let’s by Democratic state Sen.

Let’s throw back that pic from the past Photographs are so much more than pixels appearing on screens or printed on paper. Some say they are worth a thousand words. (At least my photographer friends always say that to tweak this word girl.) They are a snapshot in time, a “moment” frozen forever. In their frames can be powerful reminders of things long forgotten. They also can pack a powerful emotional punch from the past. Or at least one such photo did for me recently. Those who use social media might have heard of the phenomenon of Throwback Thursdays. The idea is to post old photographs to share memories with friends or to get a laugh or two at one’s own expense. Previously, friends from Northwestern University have dug out and posted old photos from my sorority days at Alpha Gamma Delta and from

VIEWS Joan Oliver Kappa Sigma fraternity formals I attended. Other than the general embarrassment at the styles of the late 1980s – padded shoulders and big hair – rarely is there much at which to wince. These were happy times, and the reminiscences are sweet. Pretty dresses, fancy updos and the occasional overly busy Bill Cosby sweater. What’s not to like? However, the most recent photo has proved a little more tricky. Most of us have something in our past from which we run, a part of ourselves that perhaps we’d like to leave in the rearview mirror. For me, it’s junior high. So this past Throwback Thursday

caught me by surprise. The photo that was posted for all the world to see was taken at Parkland School in McHenry. Or more specifically, up against one of its outside walls. That brick is an unmistakable backdrop. My friend Leigh and I are posing for a portrait taken in the early 1980s. “Awkward” is the best way to describe everything about the photo. We are both 11 or 12, at that age of transition from childhood to adolescence. But in that photograph is more than just the horror of revisiting my too-long bangs, oversized glasses and questionable fashion choices of a flannel shirt and hand-me-down outerwear. The moment captures a simpler time, the calm before the storm that soon would engulf my life. These were the days before the bullying started, when the 11-year-old me still had some self-confidence. It would

be a rough couple of years ahead, ones to be endured rather than enjoyed. No doubt the mutual friend who posted that photo online had no idea the visceral response it would produce. After all, it was just a snapshot from a time when we all looked a little goofy. Sure, I can laugh about it now. I have to. Apparently I can’t get away from the gangly kid I was back then, no matter how hard I try. And now, with Throwback Thursdays, I’ll never quite be sure when the photographic evidence will come back to haunt me. Why, oh why, didn’t someone – er, I - burn those negatives?

New research: At-home mothers on the rise

The Associated Press NEW YORK – The rising cost of child care is among likely reasons for a rise in the number of women staying home full time with their children, according to a new Pew Research Center report released Tuesday. Other factors cited by Pew to explain the increase include more immigrant mothers, who tend to stay home with children in greater numbers than U.S.-born moms; more women unable to find work; and ambivalence about the impact of

Ill. lawmakers Investigators claim DNA connects back east-west Palatine man to cold-case slaying Amtrak route By DINESH RAMDE The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – State lawmakers are backing the creation of an east-west passenger rail corridor across Illinois. The Illinois House unanimously approved a non-binding resolution Monday endorsing a possible Amtrak route from the Quad Cities in the west to Danville in the east. The Springfield Bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports the route would include stops in Galesburg, Peoria, Bloomington-Normal and Champaign-Urbana and connect already existing stretches of track. No cost estimate was discussed, but legislators are being asked to approve $42 million for passenger rail service between Chicago and St.

Louis and Chicago and Carbondale. A 2008 law passed by Congress shifted most of the costs for shorter routes from the federal government to states. State Rep. Don Moffitt, a Republican from Gilson, is sponsoring the proposal that he says would provide an important link for college students. Supporters said the line also would offer more residents of the state an alternative to driving. “It is truly the education corridor,” said state Rep. Norine Hammond, a Republican from Macomb. The state’s current Amtrak lines run from northern Illinois to southern and southwestern parts of the state between Chicago and the cities of Quincy, St. Louis and Carbondale.

U of I solar field work could start this year The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois officials said they hope work could begin later this year on a field of solar panels that will ultimately supply about 2 percent of the school’s electricity. The nearly 21-acre “solar farm” is a key part of the university’s renewable energy efforts, according to a report by the Champaign News-Gazette. The project, which had been set to begin construction last summer, was delayed because of concerns from state purchasing officials who questioned the public-private partnership between the school and Phoenix Solar Inc., which is based in San Ramon, Calif. Under the terms of the deal, Phoenix Solar will design, build and operate the

farm for the first 10 years. The Champaign school will spend about $1.5 million a year to buy the power that’s generated from the panels. After the first decade, the project will be turned over to the school. The newspaper reports that state procurement officers have now signed off on the complex financial arrangement. Morgan Johnston, sustainability coordinator for UI Facilities and Services, said that gives the school the OK to move forward with the project. The panels are expected to take more than seven months to install. “We are absolutely counting on it lasting at least 20 years total, and it’s likely to last longer than that,” she said.

“This is a day that we have been waiting more than 17 years to arrive,” Schmaling said at a news conference. Eaton is suspected in connection with the slaying of Amber Creek, a 14-year-old from Palatine. She had run away from a state-operated juvenile shelter in Chicago on Jan. 23, 1997. She was last seen leaving a motel party in Rolling Meadows, Ill., and getting into a luxury car that had a placard reading “mayor.” The driver was described as a white man in his 30s. Two weeks later, a pair of

hunters found Creek’s corpse in a marsh in the Town of Burlington. She’d been beaten, sexually assaulted and suffocated with a plastic bag, and she had a human bite mark on her neck. Her body was left posed with an upraised hand that had the word “Hi” written on her palm. Investigators referred to her as Jane Doe for 16 months until they could determine her name. Schmaling said there was no indication that Eaton, who would have been 19 at the time of her disappearance, and Creek knew each other. “Eaton had not previously been a suspect or mentioned during the course of this investigation,” he said. Investigators recovered DNA from Creek’s body and fingerprints from the bag used to suffocate her. The evidence was sent to the FBI and crime labs in every other state, but there were no matches.

Then on Feb. 28, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation informed the Wisconsin Department of Justice that the fingerprint evidence matched the prints of Eaton, who’d been convicted in Illinois in 2000 for possessing drug paraphernalia. Once the Wisconsin Crime Laboratory confirmed the fingerprint match, Racine County deputies launched an in-depth investigation that involved the surveillance. After tailing Eaton for several days they obtained the cigarette that he discarded at a Chicago-area train station. DNA from the cigarette matched the sample recovered from Creek’s body, Schmaling said. The sheriff said the investigation is still going on. He called on people who might have knowledge of Eaton and his alleged involvement in the crime to “do the right thing for Amber and her family and come forward.”

Those receiving an associate degree or vocational certificate would take four months off their probation. Those receiving a bachelor’s degree would take six months off their probation. Under the proposal, an offender would lose their education credits if they violated probation conditions.

RACINE, Wis. – Authorities tailed a man for several days and used DNA from a cigarette he tossed away at a train station to connect him to the cold-case slaying of a teenage runaway whose body was found in a marsh in 1997, a sheriff in southeastern Wisconsin said Tuesday. James P. Eaton, 36, of Palatine, Ill., was arrested Saturday in Chicago after investigators conducting the surveillance were able to recover the partially used cigarette, Racine County Sheriff Chris Schmaling said. Eaton has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. He was being held in Racine County Jail on Tuesday on $1 million bail, and Schmaling didn’t know whether Eaton has an attorney. No court date was scheduled for Tuesday,

Secretary of State John Kerry testifies Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to discuss his budget and the status of diplomatic hot spots.

Critics slam Kerry on foreign policy By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Secretary of State John Kerry pushed back Tuesday against withering criticism by Republicans and some fellow Democrats, defending the Obama administration’s response to an emboldened Russia, nuclear talks with Iran and the Syrian civil war. Defiant before the committee he once chaired, Kerry dismissed arguments that his globe-trotting attempts to broker a deal between the Israelis and Palestinians was a futile exercise and that the U.S. has been ineffective in ending the three-year civil war in Syria. His insistence did little to deter members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a nearly three-hour hearing that was supposed to focus on the State Department’s budget but instead turned into a rapid tour of world conflicts and divisions. “I think you’re about to hit the trifecta,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., whom Kerry fleetingly considered as a possible running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket in 2004. Pointing to negotiations on Syria, the Middle East and Iran, McCain said that on the major issues, “this administration is failing very badly.” Republicans seized on Pres-

Jim Risch, R-Idaho, described it. McCain reminded Kerry that President Theodore Roosevelt had adopted the tenet to speak softly and carry a big stick. “What you’re doing is talking strongly and carrying a very small stick; in fact, a twig,” McCain said. Kerry rejected McCain’s “premature judgment about the failure of everything,” and reminded his fellow Vietnam veteran that the peace talks to end that war took years with months debating the shape of the negotiating table. “Your friend, Teddy Roosevelt, also said that the credit belongs to the people who are in the arena who are trying to get things done, and we’re trying to get something done,” Kerry told McCain.

8NATION BRIEFS

MILWAUKEE – A virus never before seen in the U.S. has killed millions of baby pigs in less than a year, and with little known about how it spreads or how to stop it, it’s threatening pork production and pushing up prices by 10 percent or more. Scientists think porcine epidemic diarrhea, which does not infect humans or other animals, came from China, but they don’t know how it got into the country or spread to 27 states since last May. The federal government is looking into how such viruses might spread, while the pork industry, wary of future outbreaks, has committed $1.7 million to

research the disease. The U.S. is both a top producer and exporter of pork, but production could decline about 7 percent this year compared to last – the biggest drop in more than 30 years, according to a recent report from Rabobank, which focuses on the food, beverage and agribusiness industries. Already, prices have shot up: A pound of bacon averaged $5.46 in February, 13 percent more than a year ago, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Ham and chops have gone up too, although not as much. Farmer and longtime veterinarian Craig Rowles did all he could to prevent PED from spreading to his farm in Iowa, the nation’s top pork producer and the state hardest hit by the disease. He trained workers to spot symptoms, had them shower and change clothing before entering barns and limited deliveries and visitors.

Famous Kennedy name to be on Connecticut ballot

NEW YORK – The Rev. Al Sharpton admitted on Tuesday that he helped the FBI investigate New York Mafia figures in the 1980s, even making secret recordings that appeared to help bring down a mob boss. But at a news conference, Sharpton insisted he never considered himself a confidential informant, despite a report identifying him as the “CI-7” referenced in recently released court records.

BRANFORD, Conn. – Ted Kennedy Jr. has long had his famous name bandied about as a potential candidate for high political office while he worked for the disabled, campaigned for others and gave a stirring eulogy for his father. The son of the late U.S. senator from Massachusetts has finally decided to make his first bid for elected office by running for state senate in Connecticut.

Research: Most states improve election staging JACKSON, Miss. – A new report by a nonpartisan public policy group says Americans spent an average of three minutes less standing in line to vote in the 2012 presidential election than they did four years earlier. An exception was Florida, where the wait increased by 16 minutes. The report by Pew Charitable Trusts, released Tuesday, said states generally did a better job of handling elections in 2012 than in 2008.

Marine guard shot, killed by colleague at N.C. base CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – A Marine posted at the main gate of a North Carolina base shot and killed a colleague inside a guard shack Tuesday, a military spokesman said. Camp Lejeune spokesman Nat Fahy said the shooting occurred at around 5:30 p.m. Law enforcement and emergency personnel attempted to revive the shooting victim at the scene, but Fahy said the person was later pronounced dead at a base hospital.

barns at that point,” Rowles said. “... No one wants to go to work today and think about making the decision of baby pigs that need to be humanely euthanized because they can’t get up anymore. Those are very hard days.” PED thrives in cold weather, so the death toll in the U.S. has soared since December. The first reports came from the Midwest, and the states most affected are those with the largest share of the nation’s pigs: Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina and Illinois. The disease also has spread to Canada and Mexico. Smithfield Foods, one of the nation’s largest pork processors, has cut some plant shifts to four days per week in North Carolina, and those in the Midwest are likely to do so later this spring, said Steve Meyer, an Iowa-based economist and pork industry consultant. Smithfield Foods declined to comment.

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

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

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS?

Al Sharpton says report of FBI cooperation not new

Despite his best efforts, the deadly diarrhea attacked in November, killing 13,000 animals in a matter of weeks, most of them less than 2 weeks old. The farm produces about 150,000 pigs each year. Estimates of how many pigs have died in the past year vary, ranging from at least 2.7 million to more than 6 million. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the die-off has had a hand in shrinking the nation’s pig herd by 3 percent to about 63 million pigs. Diarrhea affects pigs like people: Symptoms that are uncomfortable in adults become life-threatening in newborns that dehydrate quickly. The best chance at saving young pigs is to wean them and then pump them with clear fluids that hydrate them without taxing their intestines. But nothing could be done for the youngest ones except euthanasia. “It’s very difficult for the people who are working the

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 difﬁ culty 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?

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. Superior Health and Wellness

Ukraine tries to quell pro-Moscow uprisings Mixed results in attempts to retake buildings By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Ukrainian authorities moved to quell pro-Moscow uprisings along the Russian border with mixed results Tuesday, retaking one occupied regional headquarters and watching protesters consolidate their hold on another. In a third city, Luhansk, Ukraine’s Security Service said separatists armed with explosives and other weapons were holding 60 people hostage inside the agency’s local headquarters. Those occupying the building issued a video statement saying they want a referendum on the region’s status and warning that any attempt to storm the place would be met with armed force. In the video, posted by

A masked man stands atop of a barricade Tuesday at the regional administration building in Donetsk, Ukraine. Pro-Russia demonstrators continued occupying the Donetsk regional administration in the nearby region and calling for a referendum. Ukrainian media, a masked man identified the occupiers as Ukrainian veterans of the Soviet war in Afghanistan and said that if authorities

try to retake the building, “Welcome to hell, then!” The Ukrainian government and the U.S. have accused Moscow of fomenting

the unrest as a pretext for another Russian military incursion like the takeover of Crimea last month. Up to 40,000 Russian troops are

massed along the Ukrainian border, according to NATO. All the cities affected by the uprisings are in Ukraine’s industrial heartland in the east, which has a large population of ethnic Russians and where hostility is strong toward the government that took power in February after the ouster of Kremlin-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych. European Union envoy Catherine Ashton said she will meet with U.S., Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers next week to discuss the situation – the first fourway meeting since the crisis erupted. In Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry threatened tougher economic sanctions against Moscow. “What we see from Russia is an illegal and illegitimate effort to destabilize a sovereign state and create a contrived crisis with paid operatives across an international boundary,” Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Kerry called the demon-

strations in eastern Ukraine a “contrived pretext for military intervention just as we saw in Crimea.” Earlier Tuesday, Ukrainian authorities battled pro-Russian protesters and regained control over a government building in Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, evicting the protesters and detaining dozens. Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov told Parliament that several police were injured during the Kharkiv clashes with what he termed separatists. In Donetsk, a city 155 miles south of Kharkiv, protesters dug in for their third day at the 11-story regional administration headquarters they captured on Sunday and began forming their own parallel government. Serhiy Taruta, the governor of Donetsk, scoffed at the shifting events in his city. “I call this a theater of the absurd,” he said. “It is just artists performing, but the main thing is that there is an ever-dwindling audience.”

Content on ‘Cuban Twitter’ overtly political Irish president makes The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Draft messages produced for a Twitter-like network that the U.S. government secretly built in Cuba were overtly political and poked fun at the Castro brothers, documents obtained by The Associated Press show. The messages conflict with claims by the Obama administration that the program had no U.S.-generated political content and was never intended to stir unrest on the island. Disclosure of the messages, as described in internal documents, came as the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development told Congress in sometimes-confrontational

“The purpose of the program was to support access to information and to allow people to communicate with each other.” Rajiv Shah, USAID Administrator on the purpose of ZunZuneo testimony Tuesday that his agency’s program was “absolutely not” covert. An AP investigation last week found that the program, known as ZunZuneo, evaded Cuba’s Internet restrictions by creating a text-messaging service that could be used to organize political demonstrations. It drew tens of thousands of subscribers who were unaware it was backed by the U.S. government.

At an oversight hearing Tuesday, Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont told USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah that the program was “cockamamie.” USAID, known worldwide for its humanitarian work, has repeatedly maintained it did not send out political messages under the project. Leahy asked Shah whether the project’s goal was to “influence political conditions abroad by

gathering information about Cuban cellphone users” or “to encourage popular opposition to the Cuban government.” “No, that is not correct,” Shah said. “The purpose of the program was to support access to information and to allow people to communicate with each other,” he said. “It was not for the purpose you just articulated.” But some messages sent to Cuban cellphones were sharp political satire. One message sent on Aug. 7, 2009, took aim at the former Cuban telecommunications minister, Ramiro Valdes, who had once warned the Internet was a “wild colt” that “should be tamed.”

first U.K. state visit By JILL LAWLESS and SHAWN POGATCHNIK The Associated Press LONDON – Amid regal pomp at Queen Elizabeth II’s Windsor Castle home, the Irish president and the British monarch have begun Ireland’s first state visit to Britain with expressions of mutual affection and respect – and a shared determination to consign national hatreds to a sorrow-tinged past. President Michael D. Higgins, Ireland’s elfin head of state, was guest of honor at a royal banquet that brought

together former enemies in Northern Ireland and leading politicians and celebrities of Britain and Ireland. Gathered together on one massive 160-seat table, they heard the queen and Higgins pledge to lead their nations into a new era of friendship. Higgins’ trip – on his country’s first state visit to Britain since Ireland won independence nearly a century ago – underscores how much the success of Northern Ireland peacemaking has transformed wider relations between the two longtime adversaries since the 1990s.

celebrate the building’s 100th anniversary and the congregation’s 35th anniversary this month. The congregation is hosting a series of events between April 25 and April 27 to commemorate both the building’s and congregation’s slow growth from humble beginnings to a community staple. As the lone rural schoolhouse still standing from the more than 140 in McHenry County 100 years ago, many believed the building would be abandoned and left to crumble after it closed in 1980 from decreasing enrollment as families left farms for more populated areas. But the slowly growing area Jewish population saw it as an opportunity to create a community close to home and end the multiple trips to an Elgin synagogue that many families made for services and religious schooling for their children, Michaels said. “When we first started there were probably six families,” Michaels said. “It’s just been so exciting to see the growth of the congregation

The committee is planning to celebrate their faith with traditional services and food as well a tour of the old School District 48 building. through all these years.” Ellen Morton, education director for the congregation, said that growth has led to roughly 85 families at the synagogue, all who had a part in making this month’s celebration possible. Some members have delved into the history of the

building, chronicling it from the fire that burned down the original single-room schoolhouse in 1913 to its reconstruction as a brick two-room schoolhouse in 1914 and expansion in the 1950s. Many of the youth members researched the congregation and explored the crawl

State funding comes in variety of ways • SCHOOLS Continued from page A1 approved before it can advance to the chamber floor. Under the plan, 92 percent of total state education funding would be distributed by factoring in districts’ poverty levels, accounting for low-income students using a weighted formula. The legislation also uses the number of students receiving free and reduced-priced lunches to determine who qualifies for additional low income dollars, which Manar says is in practice with most other states. Only specialized programs for special education and early childhood education would be exempted from the formula. And, for the first time in decades, funding for Chicago Public Schools would be treated under the same formula as the rest of the state. “Let’s change the law based on the needs of our state today,” Manar, of Bunker Hill, told committee members. David Lett, superintendent of schools in the central Illinois town of Pana, told the board that his district has one-third of the available funds to spend per student compared to Seneca, about 150 miles to the north. “Why the disparity?” he asked. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, who made education funding a cornerstone of his March budget address, said Tuesday he is “interested” in the measure, but didn’t take a

position on it. As it stands now, Illinois schools get state money in a variety of ways. One component, general state aid – the money used to offset the basic cost of educating students – is based on a formula that factors in poverty levels. This year, less than 45 percent of the $6.7 billion the state spent on preschool through 12thgrade education was on general state aid. But districts also get grants to use on programs such as special education, transportation and vocational training, which don’t factor in poverty. Districts must submit expense claims for those programs and are reimbursed based on the number of students they serve. The exception is Chicago, which receives a percentage of all state education dollars to spend at its own discretion. As a result, critics charge, it has received hundreds of millions more than if it were held to the same standard as other districts. Since the last time the state’s school funding formula was changed in 1997, increases to spending on specialized programs have outpaced increases to general state aid – resulting in the poorest districts often hurting the most. Manar says he intentionally brought the bill forward early in the spring session for greater scrutiny. “We’re open to changes in the bill that will lead toward greater equity, which is our goal,” he said.

it is also the 10th anniversary of Maralee Gordon as the congregation’s rabbi. While Franks is happy to take time to reflect on the past and enjoy celebrating the growth of the congregation, he said he hopes the building will be part of the congregation’s past and it will outgrow the facility in the future. “I can’t tell you how good it feels to see what has happened over the years. I feel like a proud father,” Franks said. “We’re bringing up a whole new crop of leaders and my sincere hope is we outgrow the building. But until we do, it is our home.” Gordon said she has enjoyed watching the congregation grow from her time as a member and education director to her return as the rabbi 10 years ago. She expects to see many old members and familiar faces who have moved away during the celebration. “This has always been a do-it-yourself congregation. Everyone chips in,” she said. “They work together as a team. It’s great to see.” Community members interested in the celebration can contact Morton at mcjcoffice@ yahoo.com or 815-455-1810.

Shed light on details in contracts This sentence in Northwest Herald reporter Jeff Engelhardt’s story this week regarding McHenry County College and full-time faculty coming to a contract agreement is all too familiar: “Details of the deal will not be made available until both the McHenry County College Faculty Association and the college’s board of trustees approve the contract, said For the record college spokeswoman Christina There’s nothing stopping Haggerty.” public bodies from releasWhy is it acing contract details before ceptable to keep a public vote. These units of the public in the government choose to hide the dark about how its money is being information from the public. spent until it’s too late? Why do public bodies believe it is acceptable to spend large sums of taxpayer dollars without telling the public how those dollars are being allocated? MCC isn’t the only guilty party. This year, Crystal Lake-based School District 155 and McHenry-based School District 156 also approved new contracts with teachers without the public being allowed to see the details before a final vote was taken. State Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, wants more transparency. So do local state Reps. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills; Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake; and Barb Wheeler, RCrystal Lake. Ives introduced House Bill 4268, which would require all newly negotiated contracts between unions and public-sector employers (school districts, cities, counties, the state, etc.) to be posted for at least 14 days on the public body’s website. Further, after at least 14 days, the public entity would be required to convene an open meeting and receive public comments before a vote is taken. Ives said the bill would help elected board members, public employees and the public know better the contents of proposed contracts and what they would cost taxpayers. McSweeney, Tryon and Wheeler are co-sponsors of the bill. Unfortunately, the legislation has failed to get out of Jack Franks’ State Government Administration Committee. At a recent hearing, Franks, D-Marengo, told Ives he liked the bill but wanted to broaden its scope to all contracts. There’s nothing stopping public bodies from releasing contract details before a public vote. These units of government choose to hide the information from the public. It’s unfortunate that we need legislation demanding public bodies do the right thing instead of public bodies doing the right thing on their own. We applaud Ives for her commitment to transparency, and we are pleased to see local lawmakers get on board. This bill deserves to get out of committee and onto the floor for debate and passage.

Abuse at boot camp Boot camp, no matter the branch of military service, is not tea and crumpets. Discipline, regimentation, physical hardship and mental rigor are all ingredients in turning individuals into cohesive units in which members look out for one another, the unit and the mission. But there is a right way to teach this. Annamarie Ellis, an Air Force staff sergeant, should be no one’s role model for how to train America’s warriors. That was her job at Joint Base San AntonioLackland, the Air Force’s only basic training site. She pleaded guilty recently to three charges and 24 specifications of misconduct. Prosecutors said she threatened to castrate a recruit and withheld food and, possibly, mail. In pleading guilty, she essentially admitted to forcing recruits to do physical training naked at night in the shower, made a recruit bark like a dog, cursed them and threatened to “beat the crap” out of another recruit. Recruits said she put them in a circle and challenged them to fight her. They didn’t. Of course, they didn’t. Anyone who has been to boot camp knows that what intimidates mostly isn’t how physically imposing the instructors are. The stress of boot camp is heightened by fear of failure, being forced to repeat training or getting kicked out of the service altogether. In those weeks of boot camp, the Air Force’s authority and power are invested in that instructor in what can seem outsized proportions to impressionable recruits. The country needs soldiers, sailors and airmen who follow orders and act as units, but also those who don’t lose their humanity in the process. Not all abuse is sexual. The military, not just the Air Force, should be just as committed to rooting this out. San Antonio Express-News

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Forfeit nomination To the Editor: Republican Steve Reick, just before last month’s primary election, sent out a letter concerning his nonendorsement from Republican Party Chairman Mike Tryon. It was nothing short of deception. He lied when he said that Tryon had mistakenly endorsed Reick’s opponent, Preston Rea, who also happens to be Tryon’s business partner, for Alden Township Committeeman. Reick deliberately misled the voters in an attempt to get elected and still failed to win. It is clear he is just another lying politician who will say or do anything for a vote. He reminds me of former state Rep. Michael Brown, who was accused of publicizing fraudulent endorsements from nonexistent organizations.

Reick should be forced to forfeit his nomination for blatantly lying to the voters. He is symbolic of what is wrong with politics hucksters deceiving voters for their own personal gain. There must be accountability and consequences. The McHenry County Republican Party should disavow themselves of Reick and pledge not to support someone who lies to the voters and cheats for his own benefit. Amy Appel Wonder Lake

Focus on what works since there’s no tomorrow The Fiscal Times reported last week that the State Department has missing files or incomplete files for more than $6 billion in State Department contracts. Steve Linick, State’s inspector general, issued a “management alert” warning that “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted for dollars over the last six years.” “For instance,” writes the FT, “a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn’t find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the $6 billion isn’t missing, but that State is merely experiencing “bureaucratic issues,” which it’s addressing. The lack of internal control is an apt description for what is wrong with the federal government, which seems incapable of controlling its spending. Oh, how far we’ve come from the days of our grandparents, who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Then, slogans like “waste not, want not” and “use it up, wear

VIEWS Cal Thomas it out, make it do or do without” were necessities not just for winning a war, but surviving as a family. Then, children were told to clean their plates because somewhere in the world people were starving. The Puritan ethic reminded people to always live within their means. Envy, greed and entitlement were regarded as “sins.” I recall an address given by the late Catholic Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. He asked, “How do you define a football field?” His answer? “By its boundaries.” Sheen’s point was that when boundaries are crossed, trouble ensues. The Founders gave us a Constitution with boundaries that restrict the power and reach of government. We have exceeded those boundaries, which is why government no longer works and we have massive debt. The duplicative nature of many government programs and the “eternal life” most seem to have without ever having to prove their effectiveness has contributed not only to the debt, but to the deepening cynicism felt by many Americans.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

According to a recent ReasonRupe poll, Americans were asked to guess between zero to 100 what percentage of their elected officials used their political power to help their friends and hurt their enemies. On average, the poll found that Americans think 70 percent of their elected officials do so. In addition, those surveyed were asked to guess between zero to 100 what percentage of their elected officials are corrupted by special interests. They responded that 75 percent were probably corrupted by special interests. Also according to the poll, Congress has an “approval rating” of only 17 percent, and President Obama’s approval numbers continue to decline (43 percent), with 51 percent disapproving of his performance. To return government to its constitutional boundaries, we need a new Grace Commission. Established in 1982 by President Reagan and headed by businessman J. Peter Grace, the Grace Commission conducted an audit of the federal government with the goal of eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. Its voluminous report was presented to Congress, which promptly shelved it. In Washington, if you haven’t noticed, money is power. What’s needed now is a new version of the Grace Commission that resembles the Base Realignment and Closure Com-

mission (BRAC), tasked with closing outmoded military bases. Congress gave BRAC the power to close the bases and BRAC gave Congress cover so if anyone complained about lost jobs or negative economic effects in their districts, the commission could be blamed. Most businesses conduct audits or internal reviews to make sure they are operating efficiently. Not the federal government. Republicans, who have occasionally proposed fiscal restraint, should promise an audit of the federal government if voters return them to a Senate majority in November and the White House in 2016. It will be difficult, but it must be done or the future of increasing debt and lack of personal responsibility will cripple the country, perhaps beyond healing. Focusing on “what works,” and getting rid of what doesn’t is the way back from the fiscal brink. We had better start soon, though, because spending like there’s no tomorrow will ensure there isn’t one for the country bequeathed to us. • Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

D-12’s next steps outlined Decision on where to put 3rd, 4th grades needed for plans to proceed By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – The first thing to decide now that District 12 voters have approved a $41 million referendum is where James C. Bush Elementary School’s third- and fourth-graders will go when the school closes. A representative from the architecture firm hired by the district discussed the next steps with the

school board at its Tuesday meeting, the first following the referendum’s passage during the March 18 election by 25 votes. The referendum gives the district the authority to take out about $41 million in bonds – the exact number will be based on a cap that ties how much districts can borrow to equalized assessed property values – to finance building improvements and maintenance. Before final designs can be creat-

ed, John Maurer, RuckPate Architecture’s executive vice president, said they need to know where the different grades are going, the number of students and the functional requirements of the different spaces. To help the school board make a decision on where the grades will go, Maurer will hold meetings with district administration, building administration, staff and the community over the next several weeks,

he said. The plan is to have a decision on grade-level configuration made by the end of May, Superintendent Dan Johnson said. A second series of meetings with all the stakeholders will follow in the fall to make sure the information compiled is correct, Maurer said. “We’re a little further along than

LAND CONSERVANCY SELLING BARRELS Rain barrels are available for purchase through The Land Conservancy of McHenry County. People can use the barrels as an alternate water source for watering and landscaping during dry weather and reduce the use of potable water, according to a news release. The barrels are placed under a downspout to collect and store rainwater. Using rainwater is beneficial to plants, reduces the amount of drinking water used for landscape irrigation and reduces the amount of water runoff during storms. The cost is $80 a barrel, which come in green, gray or brown. People who are interested in purchasing a rain barrel should visit www.conservemc.org or call the office at 815-3379502. Orders have to be placed by April 17. People will be able to pick up their rain barrels May 9 and 10 at TLC’s office at 4622 Dean St., Woodstock, or at the Ganek Municipal Center at 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin. There is a $5 convenience charge for pickup in Algonquin.

D-200 board fills vacancy Algonquin looking Longtime Woodstock resident selected for post By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The School District 200 Board filled its vacancy Tuesday evening. The board selected Bill Nattress, a Woodstock resident for more than 20 years, to replace Kathy Welch. Nattress has experience serving on community boards and has worked with several nonprofits, board President Paul Meyer said Tuesday. Nattress ran for a school board spot during the spring 2013 elections. Meyer said Nattress’ love for the community and experience with it made him a strong choice. “He’s the type of person who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty,” Meyer said. “He just likes doing things to help people.”

Village Board tells staff to begin negotiations with Groot Industries By JOSEPH BUSTOS

He also pointed to Nattress’ experience working with kids. “He has extensive experience in board leadership with not-for-profit organizations and knows how governance works,” Meyer added. Nattress was unable to attend the school board meeting because of a work obligation. He has a sophomore son at Woodstock High School and a daughter who previously graduated from the school, Meyer said. Welch, who served 13

years on the District 200 board, left in March. Welch was recently married, and her move to live with her husband took her outside of District 200 boundaries. The board received six applicants for the position. They interviewed all six on Monday. Nattress, a principal consultant for Shen Milsom & Wilke, will be sworn in at the next scheduled board meeting later this month. Meyer and Superintendent Ellyn Wrzeski will take him through orientation next week, Meyer said.

jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The amount residents pay for garbage pickup is expected to slightly increase as the village looks to switch its refuse and recycling service provider. The current contract with Waste Management is scheduled to end Aug. 31, and the village is looking to award a new contract to Groot Industries to take over the service. Village Board members on Tuesday gave the goahead for staff to begin ne-

gotiating a contract with Groot. Village Manager Tim Schloneger said he anticipates going with a five-year deal. In a recent request for proposals, the village looked for proposals for three- and five-year contracts. Currently garbage and yard waste stickers cost $2.55 each.

McHENRY: ORDINANCE CHANGES

WOODSTOCK: 9 A.M. TO NOON SATURDAY

McHenry to allow LED signs

Environmental Defenders host recycling drive in Woodstock

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Businesses will now be able to use LED signs and have extra signs up for their grand openings. The McHenry City Council passed in a 6-1 vote an overhaul to its sign ordinance at its meeting Monday evening. The changes are designed to make the sign ordinance “more workable” for businesses, said Alderwoman Geri Condon, chairwoman of the Community Development

Committee, which worked on the ordinance. The ordinance does away with a ban on video screen signs, but the messages must be programmed to change instantaneously, not scroll, blink or show other types of movement that could be distracting to drivers, Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin said. Signs also must be equipped with automatic dimming software or solar sensors to control brightness. The city itself already has

one at Petersen Park with another set to be installed at Whispering Oaks Park. The McHenry Public Library and schools also use them. The ordinance also gives an option to display additional signage for a grand opening beyond what a business could do with an ordinary temporary sign permit, which would add “a little punch to their advertising,” Alderman Victor Santi said. The sole no vote came from Alderman Andy Glab, who opposed a change that would allow nonprofit or

charitable organizations to skip City Council approval when getting permission to post signs in city right-ofways as long as they meet all the criteria laid out in the bill. Any variances still have to go to the council. The change was proposed because the timing of the requests often don’t leave enough time for council approval, Martin said. Glab also said there should be a charge for temporary signs beyond the refundable deposit because it involves staff time.

NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will again conduct a recycling drive from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Farm Bureau building, 1102 McConnell Road in Woodstock. The Defenders work to collect and recycle materials not collected in curbside recycling that would be harmful to the environment if put in a landfill. It costs them to recycle these unusual items, and donations of any size would be appreciated from all who bring materials to the drive. The Defenders will accept household batteries, car batteries, fluorescent tubes, clean Styrofoam, VHS and cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, packing pean u t s a n d r e u s a b l e , u npopped bubble wrap. Electronics, such as computers, televisions, phones, printers, clean microwaves and electronic toys, are accepted. TVs and computer monitors will be accepted for a donation of $10 to $35. Become a new member of the Defenders at the recycling drive at the basic or higher level, and get two coupons to recycle a television or monitor for free. USAgain Clothes Collection System will be providing a truck at each drive to accept any kind of cloth items – clothing, linens or just plain rags, clean and bagged. They also will accept shoes, tied together by

their laces and placed in the bag. There are free drop-off sites for electronics: Algonquin Township Road District, 3702 Route 14, Crystal Lake; Computer Recycling Center in Crystal Lake (call 815-455-6300 for information); and Lakewood’s electronics drop-off site at 6570 Haligus Road, south of Ballard Road. Styrofoam can be dropped off any time at the Lakewood Village Hall or the Lakewood Public Works building on Haligus Road. You can donate aluminum cans at all recycling drives, but the Defenders will no longer be paying for them. The donation will help fund educational and advocacy programs. Defenders recycling drives are held on the second Saturday of each month, alternating between McHenry in odd-numbered months and Woodstock in even-numbered months. Area residents may drive up and drop off their recyclables with Defenders volunteers, who help to unload and sort the materials. For information about the recycling schedule and types of materials accepted, or to access the Green Guide recycling directory, visit the Defenders’ website at www.mcdef.org/recycling_information.htm, or find them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/EnvironmentalDefenders.

KANE COUNTY: 17-5 VOTE

County Board approves 5 percent raises for directors By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Nine Kane County directors will get a bump in their paychecks. The Kane County Board on Tuesday voted 17-5 to award 5 percent raises to Brad Sauer, emergency communications; Mark VanKerkhoff, development and community services; Scott Berger, community reinvestment; Roger Fahnestock, chief in-

formation officer; Barb Jeffers, public health; Donald Bryant, emergency management; Mark Armstrong, assessments; Sheila McCraven, human resources; and Joe Onzick, finance. Board members Mark Davoust, R-St. Charles, and Melisa Taylor, R-Sugar Grove, were absent. According to information provided by Chairman Chris Lauzen, the increases themselves will cost almost

$50,000. The total cost, however, is closer to $60,000 when including FICA and Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund costs. Lauzen said the raises will better align the directors’ compensation with their counterparts in other nearby counties. He noted the directors had a pay freeze for four years before getting a 2 percent increase last year. “We do have some catching up to do,” Lauzen said.

Maggie Auger, R-Algonquin; Cristina Castro, D-Elgin; Jennifer Laesch, D-Aurora; Doug Scheflow, R-Elgin; and Barb Wojnicki, R-Campton Hills; voted against the raises. Laesch, along with others, said her dissent wasn’t a reflection of the employees’ performance. “The timing is wrong,” Laesch said. Mike Donahue, R-Geneva, disagreed. He said the board

just approved allocating $9.7 million in excess revenue to fund anticipated and unanticipated needs. The five-digit cost of the raises is nominal compared to the broader fiscal plan, he said. “Now is a good time,” Donahue said. Mike Kenyon, R-South Elgin, said he is “tight with a buck,” but the County Board is tasked with hiring the best people. He asked his colleagues if they would want to

lose good directors. “Vote for Kane County,” Kenyon said. “Vote for good leadership.” Susan Starrett, R-Batavia, said the directors do their job well, and the county has the money to say thank you. Lauzen thanked the board for its favorable vote, acknowledging the decision process could have fractured the board but did not. “I appreciate your support,” he said.

GILBERTS – A 66-year-old Algonquin man died Saturday after he hit a pickup truck and then a median wall while driving on I-90 near Gilberts, Illinois State Police said Tuesday. Guy Cooper was the driver of a Chevrolet passenger vehicle that drove erratically before striking the truck and wall, Master Sgt. Carlita Joe said. The incident occurred at 9:37 a.m. on eastbound I-90 at Tyrrell Road. Witnesses saw Cooper’s vehicle cut off two other vehicles, then it veered to the right and struck an unoccupied pickup truck sitting in a construction zone, Joe said. “Then he crossed all lanes of traffic and struck the center median wall where [the vehicle] came to rest,” she said.

A witness stopped to help Cooper and said he was unresponsive. The witness began to administer CPR and was assisted by an Illinois state trooper that arrived at the scene, according to police. The trooper could not detect Cooper’s pulse, Joe said. The Huntley Fire Department arrived and transported Cooper to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, where he was pronounced dead at 10:25 a.m. Saturday, Joe said. Kane County Coroner Rob Russell was not immediately available Tuesday to provide more information on Cooper’s death. Police had initially identified Cooper as a St. Charles resident over the weekend. Joe said she did not know why state police had a different city listed for Cooper when police first investigated the crash.

Harvard man jailed in 7-year-old sex case cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A man wanted on 7-year-old sex charges out of Harvard was arrested in Texas and remains jailed in McHenry County. Raul D. Escobar, 28, appeared in McHenry County court on Monday. He’s charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse for an alleged assault that happened in December 2007, Harvard’s Deputy Chief Mark Krause said. His bond was set at $250,000. The alleged victim was a 14-year-old girl at the time. Escobar was 21. The girl was not related to him, but otherwise known to him. The reported sexual

also was uninjured, but two juvenile passengers were transported to Centegra Hospital in Woodstock with minor injuries. O’Grady was arrested and charged with driving on a suspended license, operating an uninsured motor vehicle, improper traffic lane usage and possession of drug

paraphernalia. The two juveniles from the Jeep were released to family members at the hospital. O’Grady was transported to the McHenry County Jail without incident and held on $1,500 bond. She is scheduled to be in court on April 28.

Armed man shot by police dies in hospital WAUCONDA – An armed man was shot and killed by Wauconda police Monday afternoon after officials responded to a call that a man was in possession of a stolen motor vehicle. The Wauconda Police Department received a call from a resident of the 100 block of Slocum Lake Road who believed his roommate was wanted by police and may be in possession of a stolen vehicle, according to a news release. Around 1 p.m., officers made contact with a 36-year-old male who was brandishing a handgun in the doorway of a residence on Slocum Lake Road. The man was “posing a threat to the safety of the

responding officers and the surrounding area residents” and was fired upon after refusing to relinquish the weapon, the release said. The subject was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he later died. Wauconda officers were not injured in the incident. Release of the subject’s name is being withheld pending notification of the next of kin, the release said. The Lake County Major Crimes Task Force is investigating the shooting.

Officials urge people to register geocaching items

Decision to leave based on economics • GARBAGE Continued from page B1 with Groot is still up for negotiation. Sticker prices are expected to increase, but would remain under $3 for the first year, Schloneger said. Schloneger said how much money waste haulers can receive for recyclables is much less than in the past. “When that revenue dips, you have to make it up through stickers,” Schloneger said. The cart option price also would increase. In a memo written by Deputy Village Clerk Michelle Weber, Groot submitted the lowest cost of the three proposals the village received that replicates all current services, which in-

bage, drop off their loads and then come back into town and pick up recycling, Molnar said. Groot also anticipates using vehicles that run on compressed natural gas, which is one of the company’s green initiatives. Molnar said the emissions are cleaner and make the trucks quieter. Schloneger said the village was happy with Waste Management’s services, but the decision to leave was based on economics. “It came down to the price, they wanted a substantial rate increase,” Schloneger said. “We wanted to go the market, verify the rates. Groot came in, were competitive, and we feel like they could match the same level of service as Waste Management.”

“We’re really excited to be here. We have a good amount of workload, equipment and personnel in this area that allows us to be aggressive in this bid.” Josh Molnar Municipal manager for Groot Industries clude the sticker program, spring cleanup and free curbside recycling, among other things, with minimal operational changes. Algonquin has about 10,000 residences that receive garbage collection service. “We’re really excited to be here,” said Josh Molnar, the municipal manager for Groot. “We have a good amount of workload, equipment and personnel in this area that allows us to be ag-

gressive in this bid.” Groot, which is 100 years old, is proposing collecting trash on Thursdays and Fridays rather than the five days a week currently in the village. “We see [that] as a big advantage to the village, in reducing truck traffic by having us in town on two different days,” Molnar said. He said it would take eight to 10 trucks to cover the village. Trucks would collect gar-

Police were called to the area around 10:30 a.m. after a public works employee spotted the unknown object.

The village will send a reminder to residents in the coming weeks, Kuzynowski said. “We can learn from this experience and try to get the message out,” he said.

Board also recognized members from referendum committee • D-12 Continued from page B1 some people may realize because of that preliminary study,” school board President Thomas Low said. Back in October, the architecture and design firms hired by the district, RuckPate Architecture and Gillespie Design Group, provided the board with

several options for updating the district’s four buildings and addressing maintenance concerns at Bush. The district also received an assessment of the work the buildings need and raw cost estimates. Board Secretary Melissa Tinsley emphasized that she wanted plenty of opportunities for community involvement, especially because the referendum passed by a “mere 25 votes.”

Further along in the process, steering committees for each building also will be set up to provide input, Johnson said. The board also recognized the members of the Citizens for District 12 referendum committee, awarding each of them a certificate and a travel coffee mug for their work going door-to-door and informing residents about the referendum.

Scientists look at things very closely. Look closely at the images below. Each one comes from one of the pictures on this page. Can you figure out where each of these photos is from?

stronauts,university scientists, NFL and NBA cheerleaders used kids’help in collecting microbes from shoes,cell phones and the places where kids live,go to school and play.

Kids around the world swabbed for microbes at major sports arenas,movie theaters and other places where large groups of people gather. They even swabbed the bases at the home field of the San Francisco Giants.

It is part of an international Citizen Scientist project that will study microbes and map the different kinds of microbes on Earth.In March,some of the microbes traveled to space and are part of experiments on the International Space Station to study the effects of zero gravity on microbes.

C. something — birds,frogs, flowers,even microbes.This information,or data,is sent to trained scientists to analyze. It’s like giving scientists thousands of eyes and hands to observe and collect information for their studies.And for kids and adults,it’s a chance to connect with the outside world in a real,meaningful — and often fun — way.

What are microbes?

Microbes,sometimes called microorganisms,are tiny living things.They are so small they can only be seen with a microscope but they are all around us – and ON us, too.Many microbes are helpful,but some can cause illnesses.Here are some common microbes as seen through a microscope.Do the math to identify each of them.

Healthy Snacks Write a advertisement for a healthy snack. Why should kids choose this instead of chips, candy and other unhealthy snacks? Granola is an all around favorite. You can eat it like a chocolate bar and you can eat one whenever you want. It tastes great and it is also healthy for you. Justin, 4th grade Yogurt is good for you! Yogurt has plenty of protein. There’s a bunch of types of yogurt. My favorite kind is Go-gurt because it is good. Steven, 5th grade I think a healthy snack is carrots because they are good for you and for your eyesight! Miguel, 3rd grade

By eating fruits and vegetables you can improve your health because strawberries, carrots, cherries and corn don’t have fat. Children should choose healthy instead of fat. Stephanie, 2nd grade Time for a refreshing and tasty treat... PARFAIT! You have so many choices. Would you choose plain or with bananas, blueberries and granola? Try one! Parfait is healthy for you! It has plenty of healthy fruit in it. You can have it as breakfast, lunch or for dessert. That’s why I believe you should have it. It’s better than chips or ice cream. Karyme, 4th grade

Time for a refreshing and healthy treat ...YOGURT! You have so many choices. Would you choose yogurt over chips and candy? Yogurt is healthy for you. It has plenty of calcium for strong bones and teeth. It is very ﬂavorful so it seems like you are having a treat or dessert. That’s why I believe kids should choose yogurt. Jimena, 4th grade

It’s time for you to change your diet! You can eat fruit, vegetables and salads. I’ll give you three reasons why. First, it can change your body. Second, it has a lot of protein and you’ll get more protein in your body. Lastly, you will change your diet.That’s why I think people should NOT eat chips, candy, and other unhealthy snacks. Lizet, 5th grade

A healthy snack you should eat is celery with peanut butter. It’s tasty and it gives you vitamins that are good for your body. Victor, 4th grade

Time for a healthy and tasty treat ... Granola bar! A Granola bar is healthy, tasty, and comes with different stuff in it. For example, it comes with raisins and chocolate chips. They are good for your brain and ﬂavorful. My favorite is the chocolate chip Granola bar. Kids should try them instead of chips and candy. Hannah, 3rd grade

A healthy snack would be a banana, My bar is the best. It is called the apples, grapes and yogurt. That is what Peanut Power Bar. It contains; oats, I eat for a snack because I know they caramel, peanut butter, raisins and are all healthy. honey. My Peanut Power Bar has one Dalia, gram of sugar and 8 grams of ﬁber. The 4th grade Peanut Power bar is better than donuts because donuts have way more sugar. Josephine, 4th grade

HAMILTON, N.J. – A larger-than-life sculpture of Marilyn Monroe has arrived safely in New Jersey after a cross-country trip by flatbed. The 26-foot-tall “Forever Marilyn” by sculptor Seward Johnson was shipped in pieces from Palm Springs, Calif., to the Grounds for Sculpture, where it will go on view starting May 4. The 17-ton stainless steel-and-aluminum sculpture depicts Monroe in her memorable billowing skirt pose from the 1955 movie “The Seven Year Itch.” Its display will be part of an exhibit honoring its sculptor. He is also the founder of the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, just outside the state capital of Trenton. The exhibit will end Sept. 21.

Rancic feels violated by celeb kid photos PASADENA, Calif. – Giuliana Rancic said she supports actress Kristen Bell’s boycott of publications that feature paparazzi photos of celebrity children taken without consent. The “E! News” anchor said Tuesday at NBC’s summer TV presentation that she feels violated by photos taken of her and husband Bill Rancic leaving a doctor’s office with their 1-year-old son. Giuliana Rancic said when parents control their child’s exposure in the media, it’s different than feeling blindsided by paparazzi taking photos of celebrity offspring. Rancic said E! shows photos of celebrities and their children that come from social media accounts rather than paparazzi shots. Rancic said she and her husband are planning to have a second child via the same surrogate who delivered their first. Their show “Giuliana & Bill” recently moved from the Style Network to E!

LAS VEGAS – A Nevada jury is awarding comedian George Wallace $1.3 million in damages for a leg injury he said he suffered while performing at a Las Vegas Strip resort in 2007. Tuesday’s verdict from an eight-member jury comes after two weeks of testimony in Clark County District Court and about 12 hours of deliberations. The 61-year-old stand-up comic known to many as Jerry Seinfeld’s friend had sought at least $7.1 million from the Bellagio Las Vegas hotel-casino, but he said he’s happy with the result. Bellagio attorneys denied that the hotel and its employees were responsible for Wallace’s Achilles tendon injury. Wallace testified that he’s permanently hobbled after tangling his leg in wiring onstage while he was giving a private performance for HSBC Card Services Inc.

HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ renewed for 2 more seasons NEW YORK – “Game of Thrones” rules. On the heels of its explosive fourth season premiere, HBO has renewed the epic fantasy series for two more years. The network

promised more “dazzling storytelling” in those fifth and sixth seasons. Based on the best-selling book series by George R.R. Martin, “Game of Thrones” is set on the exotic, often war-torn continent of Westeros. Cast regulars include Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Charles Dance and Natalie Dormer. Sunday’s season debut was seen by 6.6 million viewers, making it HBO’s most-watched program since the finale of “The Sopranos” in 2007. Its audience was 50 percent larger than for last season’s premiere.

‘Sharknado 2’ unleashes flying sharks on New York PASADENA, Calif. – Get ready for more flying sharks. “Sharknado 2: The Second One” will take a bite out of New York City on July 30 in Syfy’s sequel to the campy classic that aired last summer. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid return from the original film that attracted nearly 1.37 million viewers. They’re joined by Vivica A. Fox and Mark McGrath, along with Kelly Osbourne, Judah Friedlander, Andy Dick, Judd Hirsch and Perez Hilton. Matt Lauer and Al Roker of “Today” and Robert Klein make cameo appearances. This time the mayhem moves from Los Angeles to the East Coast, where a freak weather system unleashes sharks on the populace and famous sites such as Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. The film was shot over the same 18-day schedule as the original, with a slightly larger budget. It features more than 500 visual effects shots. “We’re trying to perfect the tornado on this one even more because we’re trying to make it a character,” said director Anthony Ferrante.

MCHENRY 8, CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 7

Fifth-inning explosion leads McHenry to win By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry scored six runs in the fifth inning and held on for an 8-7 Fox Valley Conference crossover victory Tuesday over Crystal Lake Central at Fred Tipps Field. The Warriors started out the scoring in the second inning with some two-out execution. After a walk, McHenry (6-1, 2-0 FVC) used back-toback singles to go up 1-0. Crystal Lake Central (2-5,1-1) would show their own version of small ball in the bottom half of the second inning.

Blake Gleason started the inning off with a double and was sacrificed to third base before scoring on an RBI groundout. McHenry would go back ahead in the third inning. Payton Lykins had a one-out single and advanced thanks to a Tiger error. Lykins would score on a single by Cody Freund. Much like they did earlier in the game, Central would battle back in the fourth inning to take the lead back. The Tigers scored three runs after loading the bases with nobody out to take a 4-2 lead.

The fifth inning is what hurt Crystal Lake Central. McHenry would send 12 batters to the plate and score six times to take the lead for good. The Warriors took advantage of three Tiger errors, and much like they have done all season stayed aggressive on the basepaths. “We did some hit and run plays well today and were able to execute,” McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler said. “We did the little things and took advantage of some mistakes and that is what it takes to win.” The Tigers were able to

claw back to 8-7 and looked to have the momentum heading into the bottom of the seventh inning with the middle of their lineup due up. The Warriors Robert Nagel had other ideas. Nagel gave up just three soft groundouts to earn the save for McHenry. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to use Robert [Nagel] today because he has pitched so much lately,” Rockweiler said. “I knew he could give us one inning if we needed him Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com and thought that was a good time to use him.” McHenry junior Payton Lykins goes to tag Crystal Lake Central junior

Alan Pawlicki out during the sixth inning Tuesday in Crystal Lake. McHenry beat Crystal Lake, 8-7.

By JOE STEVENSON

egardless of what Adam Rogutich is doing, fighting gravity likely is involved. On the basketball court, the 6-foot2½ senior often used his leaping ability – which maxes out at 37 inches vertically on the run – to score 11.7 points and grab 10.2 rebounds a game as Marengo (20-11) notched its best season since 2000. Rogutich hopes to grab some rare air Sunday at the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza, which will be in Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium on Sunday with the girls game starting at 2 p.m. The boys game is set for 5 p.m., with the dunk contest between the two games. The All-Star game offers Rogutich one last opportunity to play with long-time friend and teammate Andrew Volkening and with Indians coach Will Benson, who will head the Away team. In basketball parlance, Rogutich can figuratively be called a flier. In real life, he literally flies. Rogutich received flying lessons for his 16th birthday and earned his license last year.

father, John, took him to the EAA AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wis., about 12 years ago became a life’s love for Rogutich. He will attend Indiana State next year and study in its Aviation Flight Technology bachelor’s program, then eventually become a professional pilot. Once he had done his first solo flight, Rogutich knew he wanted to fly for a living. “It’s the greatest feeling of accomplishment,” he said. “I enjoy it so much. I’d go every day if I had the money to rent the plane. It’s what I love to do. Being in the sky is calming and a real fun career.” John Rogutich recalled his own father taking him to air shows. That likely had plenty to do with John becoming a licensed aircraft mechanic for American Airlines at O’Hare In-

ternational Airport. Adam’s mother, Shari, also worked for American for 14 years as a flight attendant. John helped Adam satisfy his needs with radio-controlled airplanes. They worked their way up to bigger models through the years. John said Adam was proficient enough that repairing damaged planes was minimal. Eventually, Shari thought they should let Adam fly for real to see how much he really liked it. He took lessons at Poplar Grove Airport and now has close to 100 hours of flight time. “Because I work on airplanes and have this awareness, there’s so many [safety] systems,” John Rogutich said. “It’s really very safe. Even small airplanes are very safe. If there’s a loss of power, you have a lot of options to do a non-powered landing and land safely without any occurrence at all. When he’s up in the air, he’s a professional. He’s very in-tune with everything he’s doing while he’s flying. It’s pretty impressive.”

VIEWS Rick Morrissey

Success different for Bulls, Hawks If they were dogs, the Blackhawks would be purebreds, wet noses held high in the air. The Bulls would be mutts, all heart and earnestness. The Hawks are the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Bulls like to defend – or else, their coach says. The Hawks must win the Cup again for the season to be a success. The Bulls need to win a first-round series and do well in a second-round series for the city to speak glowingly of the plucky team that refused to die. More Even if they don’t get that far, we inside probably will understand. Turn to page If the Hawks C4 to read more don’t win the title, on the Bulls and the chorus around Blackhawks. town will tell them that they didn’t work hard enough, that Bryan Bickell didn’t deserve the big contract extension, that Corey Crawford can’t play goalie, that coach Joel Quenneville doesn’t know how to mix lines and that general manager Stan Bowman blew it by not getting a second-line center or by not letting 19-year-old Teuvo Teravainen be that second-line center. If the Bulls lose . . . well, of course, they’re going to lose. They’re without their best player. They’re forgiven. Welcome to our world of dueling, contrary expectations. It’s a strange planet, populated by two distinct species. The Bulls would die to be in the Hawks’ place. The Hawks wouldn’t be caught dead in any other place. The Hawks are expected to win. The Bulls are expected to fight the good fight, expire nobly and wait for Derrick Rose’s return next season. Unless he gets hurt again, in which case the team can revert to being overachievers and Rose can revert to getting his brains beat in, public relations-wise. It’s hard for the Hawks to come out ahead in the perception battle. If they win a game in less-than-convincing fashion, it’s cause for panic in the Chicago area. If they lose a game, the city goes into death throes. Over in the land of reduced expectations, the Bulls usually are greeted by sunny skies, mostly because they play close to their potential every game.

GIRLS SOCCER: HUNTLEY 1, CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 0

8INSIDE SOFTBALL Athlete of the Week Jenny Giesey Marian Central, Freshman, pitcher Giesey helped the Hurricanes go 3-0 at the Rockford East Invite on Saturday to win their pool with an impressive performance both on the mound and in the batter’s box. Giesey went 3 for 4 with a double, triple, two runs and an RBI in the first game against Rockford Jefferson. In Game 2, Giesey pitched seven innings, holding Hampshire to three runs to earn the win and followed that performance with a 1 for 2 effort with two RBIs and three runs in Game 3 against Durand.

Noteworthy McHenry looking to get on track: McHenry’s early portion of the schedule hasn’t gone exactly as the Warriors would have preferred. The Warriors are coming off a tough weekend having lost to Barrington and Schaumburg. The loss to Schaumburg was especially disappointing to McHenry coach John DiFrancesca because the Warriors were leading 10-3 in the fifth inning and ended up losing 20-11. Getting outscored 17-1 in the final two innings wasn’t the way DiFrancesca was hoping his team would wrap up the nonconference schedule. It gives McHenry a reality check heading into the start of Fox Valley Conference divisional play beginning this week. DiFrancesca said he planned to have a “chalk talk” with his team Monday. “I’m hoping the team takes care of the team,” DiFrancesca said. “We will lean heavily on that.” Mahaffy returns for Central: Crystal Lake Central junior shortstop/ pitcher Megan Mahaffy made her season debut Tuesday for the Tigers. Mahaffy, who is coming back from a torn ACL, came into the game during the fifth inning of the Tigers’ game against Marian Central. She went 0 for 2 after getting cleared by a doctor earlier in the day. Central coach Brian Strombom said before the season that he would slowly work Mahaffy back into the lineup as she works to get stronger. FVC play begins this week: While the Big Northern Conference has already started playing divisional games, the FVC Fox and Valley Divisions begin this week. Hampshire is off to a good start with a 5-2 overall record to open the season, and the Whip-Purs are shaping up to be contenders in the FVC Fox. In the FVC Valley, Jacobs owns a 3-1 mark while Prairie Ridge is 2-1 overall. Although Richmond-Burton didn’t get in any nonconference games before the BNC East Division part of the schedule began, the Rockets sit atop the division at 2-0. Offensive outbursts: Despite chilly temperatures and teams still trying to get into a groove at the plate, area teams have still managed to score plenty of runs. A total of nine area teams have scored 10 or more runs in a game during the past week, including Marian Central, Woodstock and Huntley. Twice Hampshire scored 19 runs in wins against Rockford Jefferson and Durand while Richmond-Burton and Harvard have each also reached double digits twice.

This week’s top games Cary-Grove at Jacobs 4:30 p.m. Thursday In a rematch of last year’s regional upset, when Jacobs knocked off top-seeded C-G, these two teams meet in what should be a great game. The Trojans will have their hands full trying to shut down dangerous Golden Eagles hitters Alyssa Lach and Sarah Murray. McHenry at Prairie Ridge 4:30 p.m. Thursday Two of the top contenders in the FVC Valley meet featuring a showdown of experienced talent on both the Warriors and the Wolves, who are looking to successfully defend their division title. Crystal Lake Central at Huntley 4:30 p.m. Friday The Tigers will be tested in a FVC crossover game on the road. They will have to battle against one of the area’s best pitchers, Haley Spannraft.

Jakubowski, Huntley downs CLC By ANDY SCHMIDT sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – Every time Huntley and Crystal Lake Central face each other in girls soccer, it ends up being a well-played, low-scoring affair. Tuesday night’s Fox Valley Conference crossover battle between the Red Raiders and Tigers was yet another example of that with Taryn Jakubowski’s second-half goal being the only score of the match as Huntley came away with a 1-0 victory over Central. The game was dominated by quality goalkeeping from both Central’s Caitlyn Dayton and Huntley’s Jessica Galason. Jakubowski’s goal came with 24 minutes to play when

she got control of a loose ball and fired it past Dayton. It was one of many chances that Huntley had in the match but the only shot that they could get past Dayton, who came up with several big saves to keep the game scoreless up to that point. Jakubowski said that her goal came as a result of a solid pass from one of her teammates. “Katie Costantino did a great job of getting to the first ball, she laid it back to me and I had my shot, so I just took it and made it,” Jakubowski said. “It feels really good [to get a win]. We’ve had a rocky start and we have gotten better so this was a good game for us to get back our momentum.” The Red Raiders (6-2) would have scored more

but Dayton stopped several chances from Huntley. A breakaway by Samantha Bessey was stopped by Dayton and then, moments later in the first half, Alexandra Sunter had a chance that Dayton once again denied. Huntley coach Kris Grabner said that he came up with a plan at halftime to try to finally get a goal. “We had talked at halftime about attacking the wings and trying to get that early service in,” Grabner said. “I was over there calling for the early service and the defender had done a great job of closing it down. “Katie cut her back pretty hard and put in a good serve. They defended that well. Taryn put herself in the right spot. The ball bounced out to her and she hit it well.”

Dayton would finish with seven saves for the Tigers (3-2) while Galason had four saves for the Red Raiders. Central coach Jay Schwartzrock said that while his team didn’t win the game, he was very pleased with how they played. “Give our girls credit. They could have easily came in and been intimidated by the team Huntley has. They have a very good side,” Schwartzrock said. “We felt we could play with them this year and we did that. “We bent and we finally broke, but I thought my girls played with a lot of moxy and a lot of poise. They had moments where they got caught off-balance but they re-organized and did a great job of communicating. I was very proud of our effort.”

Morris resigns as Warriors’ coach By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com McHenry girls basketball coach Scott Morris has resigned, leaving the Warriors program he ran for the past seven years. Morris’ resignation was accepted by the District 156 Board of Education on Monday night, McHenry athletic

Burmeister said that he and Morris discussed the coach’s future before spring break. Burmeister added that Morris told him he was choosing to focus on a new teaching position at McHenry’s West Campus.

BASEBALL: CARY-GROVE 4, WOODSTOCK 3

Christakes sets tone for C-G By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Cary-Grove senior Dean Christakes embraces the leadoff role because he can see a lot of pitches, which in turn can help his teammates get a look at the opponent’s starter. Christakes ditched that plan to lead off Tuesday’s game. Trojans coach Don Sutherland urged his players to attack fastballs and Christakes was happy to oblige. The C-G shortstop singled on the first pitch from Woodstock’s Austin Butts, stole second and scored two batters later, starting a four-run first inning. The Trojans made those runs stand up for a 4-3 victory in a Fox Valley Conference crossover baseball game at Emricson Park. “Yesterday, we were taking a lot of pitches and Suds wanted us to hunt the fastball early in the count,” Christakes said. “The whole team did that pretty well today. We came off hot and luckily enough our lead held up.” Christakes reached base three of the four times he batted, and although he did not score again, he helped C-G (6-4 overall, 2-0 FVC Valley Division) set the early tone. The Trojans stole three bases in the first inning, while Christakes stole two more later. “Dean has a great approach at the plate and is not afraid of a curveball, and will attack a fastball early in the count,” Sutherland said. “He has great speed, a lot of people have great speed, and he has great baserunning instincts. He worries pitchers, he worries catchers at the top of the order.” Matt Sutherland’s hard ground ball got past shortstop Alex Ferguson in the first inning to score Christakes. Sutherland scored on Andrew Splitt’s double, then Jimmy Perkins singled in a pair of runs for a 4-0 lead. Splitt (2-0) and Larkin Hanselmann made those four runs stand, although Woodstock (2-3, 0-3 FVC Fox) made it interesting in the sixth inning. “It’s always nice when the team puts some hits together and scores four runs in the first inning,” said Splitt, who threw five innings for the pitching win. “It’s better to have the bases loaded and not score than go three up, three down. It’s a plus when we get guys on base, we just have to come through [with more hits].” Woodstock’s Jordan Sumner doubled and scored in the first, then tripled and scored in the fifth. Butts left after tweaking his shoulder in the fifth and sophomore left-hander Justyn Eisenmenger kept the Trojans scoreless the rest of the game. The Blue Streaks’ Zach Kammin doubled to lead off the sixth and scored on Ben Haulotte’s single, when Don Sutherland called for Hanselmann. The junior left-hander kept the margin at 4-3, then worked a perfect seventh.

Marengo’s all-star basketball player, Adam Rogutich, 18, of Union, practices on a flight simulator Tuesday at his home. Rogutich has his pilot’s license and will be going to Indiana State for their aviation program in the fall. He practices on the simulator three times a week and has 90.5 hours in the air. ‘Whewwwwwww [crashing noise].’ ” Rogutich and Volkening,

a 6-6 center, have been teammates since fifth grade. They played significant roles on

varsity since their sophomore year and were integral in the Indians’ first 20-win season since 2000. The two also share a bond in that their favorite former NBA players are from an era long before they were born. Volkening, a left-hander, loves former Celtics big man Bill Russell, also a lefty. Rogutich digs the flash and mind-boggling talents of the late Pete Maravich. With Rogutich’s hops, an old-timer like Julius Erving or David Thompson. Rogutich had three dunks in games, one at Ottawa, one at North Boone and a two-handed, alley-oop from Zach Knobloch in the Indians’ victory at Richmond-Burton. “It was funny because we ran that play several times and he never dunked it,” Benson said. “It was pret-

ty unexpected at the time. [Adam] is a really, really nice kid, he’ll do anything you ask him to do. He’s a very organized, smart kid. It’s pretty cool that he knows [flying] is what he wants to get into.” Rogutich, who owns a 3.9 GPA and ranks 16th in his class of 170 students, says he naturally was a good jumper, but he worked at it, too. The favorite for the Extravaganza’s dunk contest likely will be Huntley senior Amanze Egekeze, a 6-8 forward headed to NCAA Division I Belmont, although Rogutich could be a threat. “Freshman through senior year, I did a vertical jump program,” Rogutich said. “I went from grabbing the rim to getting almost my elbow above the rim. I really worked at it to get there.”

Hard to remember what life with Rose was like • MORRISSEY Continued from page C1 Hawks fans are stressed out about the perceived ups and downs of their team and the injuries to superstars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Bulls fans find no shortage of things to be enthusiastic about: Joakim Noah’s hustle, coach Tom Thibodeau’s clichés, Jimmer Fredette’s bench posture, whatever. In a way, I almost feel sorry for the Hawks, in the way I almost feel sorry for how billions of dollars must isolate Bill Gates from the rest of the world. The Hawks have to be excellent all the time. That’s how we look at them. Anything else is unacceptable. Compared with the 2009-10 and 2012-13 championship seasons, this ride doesn’t seem as enjoyable for players and fans alike. Too bad. On the other hand, that’s the cost of being

great. Shouldn’t I be feeling sorry for the Bulls, who have lost their superstar to knee injuries the last two seasons? Probably. Yet they have risen above those injuries and taught a city about taking what you’re given and going beyond. We’re almost to the point where it’s hard to remember what life was like with Rose. All we’ve known the past two seasons is a team that has refused to give up. The Bulls aren’t great, but they’ve gotten almost as many accolades as some of the great teams in the league. Every NBA coach who comes through town raves about the Bulls’ effort and results. The Hawks don’t get that kind of praise as often. What they do get is their opponents’ best effort every night. It’s the highest compliment a team can receive. There is no rest for the defending champions.

Garden Homes of

We’re dealing in stereotypes here, and it’s probably not fair. The ‘‘blueblood’’ Hawks are just as hardworking as the Bulls. Nothing has been given to them. The tenacious Bulls have it a lot easier in town than the uber-talented Hawks.

If there’s a lesson for both teams, it’s this: It’s best to be great. But whatever you do, don’t be as bad as the Cubs.

The Bears claimed wide receiver Josh Bellamy off waivers Tuesday from the Redskins, according to the league’s transaction wire. They also signed Matthew Mulligan, a 6-4, 267-pounder, agreed to terms on a one-year deal. A blocking tight end, Mulligan was among the handful of players who worked out for the Bears on Monday. Bellamy, who turns 25 in May, appeared in five games for the Redskins last season but did not record a catch. He did have two special-teams tackles. In 2012, Bellamy played in three games for the Chiefs and had two tackles on special teams and returned five kickoffs for 101 yards (20.2-yard average). Last season, Mulligan appeared in 15 games with four starts for the Patriots. He had two catches for 16 yards including a touchdown. – Kevin Fishbain, kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

Quenneville sends Saad message By MARK LAZERUS

Next for the Hawks

mlazerus@suntimes.com Joel Quenneville didn’t sit Brandon Saad down and have a long talk about what the winger needs to do, what areas of the game he needs to improve upon, or even why exactly he was scratched on Sunday to begin with. “Pretty short talk,” Saad said. “Just refocus, get ready, and get back in the lineup.” That’s because there was nothing blatantly wrong about the way Saad was playing of late. Yes, his production has been nearly nonexistent – no goals and one assist in nine games – but his possession numbers and his defensive game have been mostly solid. Mostly. Quenneville just saw an occasional dip in the effort, and wanted to send a quick mes-

Montreal at Hawks, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, CSN, 87.7-FM sage before it became a larger problem. “He has pretty high standards of comparing his game to some guys,” Quenneville said. “And that consistency we’re accustomed to seeing was sporadic. Sometimes you’re not productive at the rate you’re normally accustomed to being at, but you still have to find ways to participate in our team game. He wasn’t at the level that he wants to see or we want to see.” That the standard is so

high for a second-year player is a testament to just how good Saad has been. It’s also why the veterans haven’t been exactly rushing to Saad’s side to talk him through his first benching. It’s just not needed. “I have 10 years on Saader, so I feel like I’ve been through a few situations like that before,” Patrick Sharp said. “Early in my career I was a healthy scratch quite a bit with [the Philadelphia Flyers]. I’ve been down that road before, but I wasn’t as good as Saader was at that age – he’s got that on me, for sure. He’s more mature than I was. There’s not a whole lot that I can say to Saader that he doesn’t already know. He’s already a true professional who’s played 100-some games AP photo in his career. He’s not on the Dallas Stars center Dustin Jeffrey (11) keeps Blackhawks right wing radar at all, we’re not worried Ben Smith (28) and Brandon Saad (20) from the puck during the secabout him at all.” ond period March 25 at the United Center.

BULLS

Road to playoffs coming to an end By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls Bulls at Minnesota, 7 p.m. Wednesday, CSN+, AM-1000 hell?’’ Definitely. But also a nightmare for Joakim Noah and the boys. The monkey wrench in all of this lies about 520 miles to the northeast. Like the Bulls, Toronto has five more regular-season games left. And like the Bulls, it’s five games that are very winnable. With the Bulls playing the Timberwolves in Minnesota Wednesday – maybe the hardest game left on the schedule – the Raptors host Philadelphia. Insert punch line here. On Friday, the Bulls host a Pistons team that quit sometime in February, while the Raptors play host to a Knicks team that would be diagnosed as borderline schizophrenic. Sunday, the Bulls travel to New York to take on that same Knicks team, and considering what Noah and Taj Gibson love to do at the Garden, go ahead and mark the “W’’ down now. Meanwhile, Toronto travels to Motown to kick around what’s left of the carcass that plays in Auburn Hills. Monday is basically a bye night for both teams, with the Bulls hosting Orlando and the Raptors hosting the Milwaukee Bucks. Then it comes down to Wednesday, where neither team exactly has a cakewalk. The Bulls play in Charlotte, but the game could be meaningless for the Bobcats. Toronto plays in New York, in what could be a meaningless game for the Knicks. And the kicker in all of this? If the two finish with the same record the tie goes to Toronto. “It really doesn’t matter who we see [in the playoffs],’’ Gibson said over the weekend. “It’s all about playing our style. Let them think about us.’’ Tough-guy talk only goes so far.

Next for the Sox

The Associated Press DENVER – A slumping Jose Abreu received a hitting tip from the person who knows him best – his mom. In an early morning call, she told him to simply relax at the plate. He listened and his powerful swing returned. Abreu and Avisail Garcia each hit two of the Sox’s six homers, powering the Sox to a 15-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. “My mom told me, ‘Just take it easy,’” Abreu said through a translator. “That gave me a lot of strength.” Strength is something he certainly has an abundance of, which is why the Sox signed the Cuban slugger to a $68 million, six-year contract in October. In 29 major league at-bats, though, Abreu had no homers to show for it. That changed in the seventh, with the game still close at 4-2. Abreu fouled off pitch after pitch after pitch until sending the 12th one high into the air. The ball crept just over the glove of a leap-

White Sox at Colorado, 2:10 p.m. Wednesday, CSN, AM-1000 ing Brandon Barnes in left for a three-run homer. The weight off Abreu’s shoulders, he delivered a tworun drive the next inning. “That’s everything as advertised for him,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “Doesn’t necessarily surprise us. I know he’s happy, to kind of get it out of the way.” Abreu even got his first home run ball, too, in a trade for an autographed baseball. “Like I always say, we should never press for things,” Abreu said. “I always give myself some time. You have time to do things. “It was a great day today.” Certainly was. Jose Quintana pitched seven sharp innings, and Tyler Flowers and Alexei Ramirez also went deep for the first

time this season. The Sox had six total home runs before the fireworks in this one at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Garcia and Marcus Semien each had four of Sox’s 19 hits. Quintana (1-0) bottled up Colorado most of the night, allowing five hits and two runs. The left-hander appeared ready to pitch the eighth, but after the Sox batted around, scoring six times, Quintana was removed. “I wanted back for more and more,” Quintana said. “I understand – long inning.” Quintana is not quite used to this much run support. He’s had 28 no-decisions since 2012, the most in the majors. “Very happy,” he said of all the runs Chicago scored. “Very, very happy.” Franklin Morales (0-1) gave up six runs and two homers in 6⅓ innings. Morales was essentially pitching to keep his spot in the rotation, especially with Jordan Lyles (2-0) off to a strong start and Tyler Chatwood (hamstring) soon returning from the disabled list.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

jcowley@suntimes.com MINNEAPOLIS – It’s the tough-guy reply these days. Ask a Bulls player about possible first- and second-round playoff matchups and how their seeding in the Eastern Conference can determine their postseason destination, and the standard answer is, ‘‘We’re not ducking anyone.’’ Well, they should be. There’s a reason the Bulls are in such a scramble for the No. 3 seed: The way the East stacks up, the No. 3 seed is one of the easiest paths to the conference finals. It would mean a first-round matchup with a Washington Wizards team without any real playoff experience and – as the Wizards showed Saturday against the Bulls – allergic to a physical defensive style. Awaiting the winner of that series would be the winner between the Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Bobcats. Six weeks ago, it wouldn’t have even been a question. The Pacers were the bullies of the East, hell-bent on capturing the No. 1 seed and setting the stage to knock off Miami from reaching the NBA Finals for a fourth consecutive season. Now, they are broken. Maybe beyond repair. Even if they get by the Bobcats, on the intimidation scale the Pacers are a zero, as far as the Bulls are concerned. What does the No. 4 seed get you? Well, the Bulls would get to host a very dangerous Brooklyn team in Round 1, and while Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are close to getting their AARP memberships, never discount old-man strength. If the Bulls should happen to get by the three-guard attack of the Nets, enjoy the trip to South Beach, where Windy City dreams go to die. It doesn’t matter what the Heat have looked like at times this season. They are a flip-theswitch type of team that play at a level the Bulls are yet to understand or slow down. In other words, “Hollywood as

CHICAGO – The Pirates had a four-run lead in the first inning and were up two runs after five. Both times the Cubs came back, with Starlin Castro providing much of the power. In the end, the Pirates were finally able to shut down Chicago. Pedro Alvarez had two hits and two RBIs, and Russell Martin drove in the goahead run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning as Pittsburgh beat the Cubs 7-6 on Tuesday night. Jason Grilli closed with a perfect ninth for his second save in three chances. “We just kept playing,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “It’s not about what’s not happening.

We executed extremely well in the first inning on offense and kept building innings.” Cubs reliever Pedro Strop (0-1) walked two batters in the eighth and recorded only one out before being replaced by left-hander James Russell. Russell walked Alvarez to load the bases and Martin followed with a fly ball to right field that made it 7-6. “Had we laid down after the first inning, giving up four runs, I would have been extremely disappointed,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria

said. “But we didn’t. We kept chipping away. I think that’s what we’re talking about. We have to fight. We have to keep battling every day and if they keep doing that we’re going to get our situation where both sides of our game gets to where it needs to be.” The Cubs tied the game in the seventh against Tony Watson (1-0) on Anthony Rizzo’s hit up the middle scoring Emilio Bonifacio, who went 3 for 5 and is batting .515. Castro hit a game-tying three-run homer in the third and a solo shot in the sixth against Pirates starter Charlie Morton for his first career multi-homer game. “The two pitches that they scored four of their runs on were just terrible pitches,” Morton said of Castro’s homers. “It could have turned out a lot better had I executed a little bit better even instead of giving up a home run.

MASTERS

NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: UCONN 79, NOTRE DAME 58

Field has an open look without Tiger

UConn continues dominance

The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. – One after another, some of the world’s best players and favorites to win the Masters trudged up the hill on the opening hole to start their practice rounds. Phil Mickelson. Rory McIlroy. Adam Scott. It was typical of any Tuesday at Augusta National, except for the scoreboard to the right of where they were walking. The board has the names of all 97 players in the field, with blank boxes to put their scores when the tournament begins. On the far right side of the board is a list of this year’s noncompeting invitees – Tommy Aaron. Doug Ford. Tiger Woods. “It’s a weird feeling not having him here, isn’t it?” said Phil Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion and the chief foil for Woods over the years. “He’s been such a mainstay in professional golf and in the majors. It’s awkward to not have him here. I hope he gets back soon. I hope he’s back for the other majors. As much as I want to win – and I know how great he is and tough to beat – it makes it special when he’s in the field and you’re able to win.” Woods hasn’t been the same all year, even before back surgery last week. He is missing the Masters for the first time. His presence looms as large as some of the Georgia pines lining the fairways, though it will be forgotten when the opening shot is in the air Thursday, and a green jacket is awarded Sunday. Even so, Woods brings a buzz to any tournament, even at Augusta National. And this year, his absence has brought talk of the most wide-open Masters in nearly 20 years. Las Vegas has installed Scott and McIlroy as the betting favorites at 10-1, followed

by Mickelson, Jason Day and Matt Kuchar at 12-1. McIlroy had his own version of a betting sheet on the table where he sat during his interview – the tee times for the opening two rounds. Told that 97 players were in the field, the 24-year-old from Northern Ireland figured 70 had a chance to win. “There’s a few past champions that play that might not be able to compete. There might be a few first-timers or a few amateurs that won’t compete,” McIlroy said. “But then you’ve got the rest. I’m just looking down the list here. Stewart Cink. Tim Clark. Ian Woosnam – no.” The room filled with laughter as McIlroy smiled and said, “Sorry, Woosie,” referring to the 56-year-old former champion. “You’ve got a lot of guys that can win, a lot of guys that have won PGA Tour events,” McIlroy said. “OK, we’re playing at Augusta. Because it’s the Masters and because it’s so big and so hyped up or whatever you want to say, you ought to remember that you’re still playing against the same guys you play with week in and week out. “I’ve beaten them before,” he said. “They’ve beaten me before.” The PGA Tour is 21 tournaments into the season, and only one player (Zach Johnson) won while he was in the top 10 in the world. McIlroy and Scott each had comfortable leads going into the final round and lost to players outside the top 100. “I think in the past, certainly that’s been easy to go to events and look at a guy who is the guy to beat,” Scott said, not naming Woods because he didn’t need to. “I think that scope has kind of broadened now. There’s a lot of guys with the talent and the form that aren’t necessarily standing out above the others.”

UConn championships

The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Geno Auriemma and Connecticut stand alone in women’s college basketball, and they reached the top in unprecedented fashion. The Huskies routed Notre Dame, 79-58, in the first championship game featuring undefeated teams, winning their record ninth national title. Auriemma broke a tie with Pat Summitt and Tennessee for most all-time, doing it in her backyard. Breanna Stewart, who was The Associated Press Player of the Year, scored 21 points to lead the Huskies (40-0) while Stefanie Dolson added 17 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Auriemma took out his senior center with a minute left and the game well in hand with the pair embracing in a long hug. “We beat a great, great team,” Auriemma said. “Notre Dame is a great team. For them to have the season they had and lose their starting center and to do what they did, I can’t say enough about their players, coaching staff and it took everything we have. I knew if we played great we’d have a chance to win.”

Connecticut center Stefanie Dolson (31) celebrates a basket against Notre Dame during the first half of the championship game of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament Tuesday in Nashville, Tenn. The victory also meant that UConn is now the center of the college basketball world with both the men’s and women’s teams winning the championship in the same year again. The men’s team beat Kentucky in the title game Monday night. This pair of victories came a decade after the Huskies became the only school to accomplish the feat. “I couldn’t be prouder of

what the men did last night,” Auriemma said. Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw congratulated the UConn coach when they shook hands after the game. “I said something like, ‘I thought we were playing the Miami Heat for a while; you guys are just that good.’ What a great season, you know things like that,” McGraw said. “I thought ...

was the only thing they were missing.” It was the fifth unbeaten season for Auriemma and UConn and the first time the Huskies went 40-0 – matching Baylor as the only schools to accomplish that feat. The victory was also Connecticut’s 46th straight dating back to last season’s NCAA tournament title run. It’s the third longest streak in school history – well short of the NCAA record 90 straight they won.

Butter-Spiced Skillet Peas

SIDE BY SIDE Giving Easter side dishes the respect they surely deserve By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Ratatouille Cakes AP photos

Citrus-Pine Nut Broccoli Slaw

f Thanksgiving is all about the sides, Easter is all about the main. While we agonize over styles of stuffings, whole or smooth cranberry sauces, sweet potatoes with or without marshmallows, and so many other Turkey Day dilemmas, we tend to just cobble together a Inside what-have-you asWhy not stuff an sortment of sides to accompany the Easter ham ... with beloved Easter sweet potatoes? ham or lamb. But we decided Page D2 Easter side dishes deserve more respect, so we created this assortment of dishes to liven up your offerings. We start with peas. Nobody loves them straight up, but give them a simple saute with butter and a trio of seeds – caraway, coriander and mustard – and suddenly they are a dish worth getting excited about. For a fresh take on salad, we created a broccoli slaw seasoned with Dijon mustard, as well as the zests and juices of a lemon and an orange. Chopped dried apricots add a sweet touch while toasted pine nuts offer

a savory crunch. Finally, we have a vegetable patty made from the main ingredients of ratatouille. Finished with fresh oregano, feta cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, this is a side that can hold its own at the Easter table.

Butter-Spiced Skillet Peas Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 4 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 10 ounces sweet peas Kosher salt and black pepper In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the caraway seeds, coriander, mustard and paprika. Cook, stirring frequently, until toasty smelling, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peas and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just tender. Season with salt and black pepper. See EASTER SIDES, page D2

Glazed Sweet Potato-Stuffed Ham

We stuff Turkey Day birds, so why not Easter hams? By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press At Thanksgiving, we stuff turkeys. At Easter we stuff...? Hams! It’s not a crazy as it sounds. And it’s much easier than you think. We created a delicious and beautiful baked ham that is stuffed with layer upon layer of sweet potato slices. The trick is to use a spiral-cut ham. All those slices are the perfect place to insert a bit of flavor and color to your ham. Simply start at one slice, use your fingers to gently peel apart the

Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper and cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Set aside. Place the eggplant and zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible. Add to the onion mixture. Add the the tomato paste, egg, salt, black pepper, thyme and breadcrumbs. Set aside. Wipe out the skillet, then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high. Working in batches, drop the vegetable mixture by the tablespoonful into the pan, flattening them with the back of a spoon. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with the cheese. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and sprinkle with the oregano.

A matzo-stuffed chicken for any time By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor Why is it that we only stuff poultry one day a year? Let’s face it, stuffing takes an already delicious dish – roasted poultry – and makes it even more so by adding flavorful, fat-soaked carbs to the mix. Yet outside of Thanksgiving, few of us ever think to stuff and roast a bird. Admittedly, most of us don’t have the time to prepare a stuffed turkey on a weeknight. But why not try a chicken? The beauty of a roasted chicken is that aside from about 15 minutes prep, nearly all of the time is hands off. And we can keep the roasting time itself pretty minimal by spatchcocking the chicken (cutting out the backbone and roasting the bird flat) before stuffing and roasting it. Since Passover is coming up, I decided to play around with a matzo-based herb stuffing. But if you’d rather stick with a more traditional stuffing base, the same technique works just as well.

Herbed Matzo-Stuffed Roasted Chicken Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra 1 medium yellow onion, diced 4 stalks celery, finely chopped 4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1 teaspoon dried basil 5 sheets (5 ounces) salted matzo, crumbled Chicken broth Kosher salt and ground black pepper 5-pound whole chicken Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 13-by-18inch baking pan with cooking oil. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, celery and mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the oregano, parsley, thyme and basil and cook for another minute. Add the crumbled matzo. Stir well, sprinkling in just enough broth to make a

moist stuffing, about 1/2 cup. Season with salt and pepper, then spread the stuffing evenly in the prepared baking pan. Place the chicken on the cutting board with the breast down. One on side of the backbone, use kitchen shears to carefully cut from the neck hole down the length of the backbone and out the rump. This will require a little effort, but the shears should cut through the bones without too much difficulty. Repeat the cut along the other side of the backbone, removing and discarding it. Spread open the chicken, exposing the cavity, then overturn the bird and set it

over the stuffing in the pan. Season under the skin with salt and pepper. Rub the outside of the skin with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 165 F. If the chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil.

Cornish hen makes dinner for two Wild rice, glazed carrots and steamed asparagus combine to complete meal With spring weather just around the corner, and Easter dinner hopping up quickly on the the calendar, I wanted to share some Easter and spring menu ideas. It is very difficult to make an Easter dinner for two. I came up with the following menu: Fruity Cornish Hens, wild rice, rainbow glazed carrots and steamed asparagus.

Fruity Cornish Hens 2 Cornish hens – rinse Cornish hens and pat dry 1/2 organic orange juice 1 teaspoon fresh chili sauce 1/4 cup organic apricot preserves 1/4 cup organic raspberry preserves 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic Olive oil Salt and pepper Fresh thyme Fresh rosemary

Fruity Cornish Hen and Bourbon Glazed Carrots

THE PERSONAL CHEF Debi Stuckwisch

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F, and place the Cornish hens breast side up on a rack in a 9-by-13-inch oven-safe pan. Spread a small amount of olive oil all around the hen. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the exterior of the cornish hen. Add a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme inside the cavity of the hen. Put in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees. Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, add the rest of the ingredients. Heat over medium, and simmer until it reduces down into one-half. Brush some of the glaze on the cornish hens, and put back in the oven. Brush the glaze on the hens about 15 minutes before it is finished baking. And before serv-

ing, brush the glaze on one last time and serve.

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Bourbon Glazed Carrots I purchased the organic rainbow carrots from the Mejier in McHenry in the organic section, by the broccoli. Peel the carrots, and cut into bite size pieces. Blanch the carrots in boiling water for about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the carrots. In a hot pan, add 1/4 cup of butter and melt. Add the carrots and cook

1 bunch of organic rainbow carrots 1/4 cup butter 1/8 cup bourbon 1/8 cup organic pure maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

until slightly brown. Remove from heat and add bourbon. Stir to remove the brown bits from pan. Then add the syrup, garlic salt and fresh parsley, and serve

Woman with transgender Penile implants less common lover seeks family support as pills prove to be effective Dear Abby: I’m a divorced woman with grown children. I always have supported gay rights and thought of myself as straight. But a few months ago, I met a woman, “Stephanie.” We hit it off immediately, and I was shocked to learn she’s a transgender woman who was born male. We have spent a lot of time together and are falling in love. Stephanie will be having surgery soon to complete the transgender process. I have been surprised and disappointed by the lack of support from my family and friends, whom I always thought were open-minded. Some have voiced support, but have shown no interest in meeting her and seem uncomfortable hearing about her. I’m excited about this relationship and thought my family and friends would be happy for me, as I have been alone for a long time. But now I find myself refraining from mentioning Stephanie in conversation. How can I discuss her with others? We are taking things slowly and not jumping into anything, yet we definitely can see ourselves spending the rest of our lives together. We already have faced disapproving strangers and

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips handled it well. – Loves My

Friend In Ohio Dear Loves: It appears Stephanie isn’t the only one in your relationship who is in transition. Both of you are, and because it is new to those around you, they might not understand it – which is why they are uncomfortable. The fact Stephanie is transgender should not be mentioned right off the bat. It is not the most important thing about her, and it should not be her defining characteristic. Discuss the matter with your friend and ask how she would like to be introduced and referred to. It’s only logical this will vary according to how close these people are to you. Dear Abby: I am a single mother who has had my share of heartbreak. I was with “Kent” for almost two years. We moved in together and talked often about marriage. Things were going great, but then he lost his job. After that, finding and keeping a job became harder and harder for him.

One day when I came home from work, all of Kent’s clothes were gone. He said he had moved back in with his mother because he didn’t feel comfortable with me paying all the bills. He assured me he still wanted to remain in the relationship, and once he could keep a steady job he’d move back. Three months later, he broke up with me. The following week some mutual friends told me he had gotten married. When I confronted Kent, he told me he still wants to have a sexual relationship with me.

Dear Dr. K: Can you discuss penile implants? I haven’t had success with other treatments for erectile dysfunction. Dear Reader: Medications, injectable drugs and devices such as vacuum pumps can effectively help most men who cannot get or maintain an erection. In particular, the three different pills for erectile dysfunction (ED) are effective about 70 percent of the time. Have you talked with your doctor about increasing the dose of the medicines you have taken? And has your doctor done tests to determine the cause of your erectile dysfunction? If these treatments haven’t helped you, consider a penile implant (also called a penile prosthesis). Penile implants allow you to have an erection at any time – and maintain it for as long as you want. Broadly speaking, there are two types of implants: • Inflatable implants. Three-piece implants consist of a fluid-filled reservoir in the abdomen, a pump with a release valve in the scrotum and two inflatable cylinders in the penis. Squeezing the pump transfers fluid from the

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff reservoir into the cylinders, causing an erection. Pushing the release valve drains the fluid back into the abdominal reservoir. In two-piece implants, fluid-filled reservoirs are in the rear portion of the cylinders; the pump is in the scrotum. Bending the penis returns the fluid to the reservoir. • Semirigid, or malleable, rods. As the name implies, this type of implant consists of bendable rods. The rods are bent upward to have sex and pointed down to conceal the penis under clothing. Most patients choose an inflatable device because the penis looks more natural than with semirigid rods. One downside to inflatable implants is the risk of mechanical trouble that might require surgical repair. Most devices last 10 years or longer. Malleable devices have pros and cons, too. They are easier to manipulate than inflatable implants and are simpler to insert

surgically. But because the rods always remain firm, their presence is harder to conceal. (I’ve put illustrations of penile implants and a detailed list of advantages and disadvantages of each type on my website, www. askdoctork.com.) You and your partner are more likely to be satisfied with the results if you know what to expect from a penile implant. If possible, meet with the doctor together before surgery. Make sure you understand the risks and benefits of the procedure and how the device works. In the days before pills were available for erectile dysfunction, a number of my patients tried penile implants. They were uniformly skeptical when first presented with the idea, but most were glad they tried it. Since then, the devices have become even smaller and easier to use. Still, I haven’t recommended one of these devices in a decade, because simpler approaches have worked. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

TASTE Saving carrots from their usual Easter fate Page D6 • Wednesday, April 9, 2014

Associated Press Though carrots often make it into the Easter feast lineup, I’ve never understood why. Maybe it’s a nod to the Easter bunny. Typically, we prepare them much as we prepare sweet potatoes (their distant orange cousins) at Thanksgiving – by glazing them and otherwise shoveling on extra sugar. I’m guessing this is a reaction to the carrot’s bright color, which reminds us of a kid’s toy. It’s orange. It’s fun. On the plate, carrots are more like a candy than a vegetable. Still, I like carrots and I think I’ve figured out a way here to redeem them. The trick is not to be waylaid by their color, but to take advantage of their length and texture. Long, sturdy carrot peels are reminiscent of individual strands of fettuccine. Fine. Let’s prepare them as we would, say, a dish of fettuccine Alfredo – by dressing them with a creamy sauce. Not coincidentally, it’s a strategy that also allows the carrot’s natural sugars – which are plenty sweet all by themselves – to shine. You’ll want to start with big, long, fat carrots (affectionately referred to by some grocers as “horse carrots”). Just peel off and discard the outermost layer, then continue peeling on all sides until you’ve reached the woody core. I find it easiest to start at the middle of the carrot and peel down

the bottom half, then flip it over and peel the top half. This technique allows you to do the job faster than if you peeled the entire length of the carrot from top to bottom. The cores are too thin and hard to peel. You can munch on them yourself or reserve them for a future stock. The sauce for this “fettuccine” is quite simple. It’s based on Neufchatel, the French cream cheese, which miraculously provides us with the creaminess we crave even though it possesses one-third less fat than most other types of cream cheese – and much less fat than heavy cream, the ingredient that usually puts the cream in creamy pasta. We counter-balance the carrot’s natural sweetness with lemon, both the zest and juice, though lime would work just as well. The walnuts add crunch, nutty taste and some nutrition, but any nut will do: pistachios, almonds, cashews. Just pick your fave. The carrot fettuccine strands cook up very quickly – inside of 5 minutes – so you’ll want to prep them ahead of time, and measure out all the rest of the ingredients as well. Once the fettuccine is cooked, you need to move it out of the pan and onto everyone’s plate before the strands go soft. Happily, cooking this dish is simple enough to do at the last minute. And who knows, you may even be

1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a shallow baking dish, spread the walnuts in an even layer and bake on the oven’s middle shelf for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they smell fragrant. Remove and set aside. Meanwhile, using a swivel blade or a Y-shaped vegetable peeler, peel the carrots into long fettuccine-like strands, discarding the core (or saving it for a snack or a stock). In a large skillet, combine 1 cup of the chicken broth with the lemon zest, a hefty pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Whisk

Reduce the heat and simmer the carrots, covered, for 3 minutes. Remove the lid, and stir the carrots gently with tongs to make sure the cheese is well distributed. Cover and simmer, adding the additional broth if the mixture seems dry, for another 1 to 2 minutes, or just until the carrots are tender. Stir in the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.

Rented luxury Car rental companies ramp up exotic offerings By MICHELLE RINDELS The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – There’s a chance now for the middle class to feel like movie stars. Or for a movie star to feel like a movie star away from home. In the past few years, some of the biggest car rental companies have added the finest cars money can buy to their fleets. Alongside the practical Toyotas and Fords are Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Aston Martins and Teslas, to name a few. They don’t come cheaply, of course. But, in some ways, that’s beside the point. “We try to sell a lifestyle, not just an exotic vehicle,” said Vince Sample, location manager for Beverly Hills Rent A Car in Las Vegas. And it’s one that wows: “People stop and stare. They ask, ‘Can I take a picture?’ They want to see if it’s someone famous.” Sample’s firm, which has worked with royals, famous singers and casino whales, will deliver a $900-a-day candy apple red Ferrari California or a $2,200-a-day Rolls-Royce Wraith directly to the customer. There’s no license plate frame to mark it as a rental. He will even take off the dealership’s keychain so customers feel it’s totally theirs. As the recession fades to a memory, independent rental companies in flashy cities such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami Beach aren’t the only ones offering the high-end rides. The big firms are doing it, too, and in places less known for glamour. Last summer, Hertz launched its Dream Cars line in 35 locations, including Pittsburgh and Milwaukee. Enterprise’s Exotic Collection, which launched in Southern California, operates in 13 locations and is planning

Budget offers a range of BMWs and American sports cars in its Street Fleet and Avis has similar selection in its Signature Series, although the finest vehicles are found in the Avis Prestige collection in Europe. Sharon Faulkner, executive director of the American Car Rental Association, said the growth in the upscale rental market differs from years past because it’s no longer limited to beach and tourist towns. Enterprise’s move into the exotics market in 2006 came as customers started asking for more rarified vehicles – ones beyond the realm of the company’s existing luxury collection of Lincolns and Cadillacs. Last year, the number of rental days within the exotic collection jumped 50 percent, according to Steve Short,

Enterprise’s vice president of leisure business development. “There’s probably some demand that was out there that wasn’t being met,” he said. When Hertz was scoping out the market for its Dream Cars, it analyzed registration data to determine which cars consumers were driving in different parts of the country, according to spokeswoman Paula Rivera. The company stocked stores to reflect regional tastes: California customers are more likely to pick showy convertibles, whereas patrons in the heartland prefer more subtle indulgences. Hertz launched the program during a shaky recovery, calculating that demand among the wealthy would remain steady no matter the economic tide.

DALLAS – If you use miles to get a free ticket on American Airlines, you may have to pay to check that suitcase. American and US Airways announced changes Tuesday to their policies on checked-bag fees and redeeming miles for free flights. Passengers traveling on American on miles they earned or who paid full price for an economy seat won’t get free checked bags anymore. Some elite-level frequent fliers on both airlines will get one less free bag than before. When it comes to redeeming miles for free flights, US Airways is ending blackout days. American will change the number of miles to get an unrestricted free flight – more on popular travel days, fewer on less-busy ones. And it’s making an array of changes to the miles needed for international trips. Suzanne Rubin, an American Airlines vice president who oversees the AAdvantage loyalty program, said the changes will increase revenue but she declined to give a figure. The two carriers merged in December and formed American Airlines Group Inc., and Tuesday’s changes are designed to bring the policies of the two closer together.

WASHINGTON – U.S. employers posted more job openings in February, a sign that hiring likely will improve in the months ahead. Employers advertised 4.2 million job openings, up 7.7 percent from January, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s the highest number of postings since January 2008, when the Great Recession was just beginning and the economy had yet to suffer the full shock of the downturn. There are roughly 2.5 unemployed Americans for each open job, the report shows. That average has slowly been approaching the 2 to 1 ratio is typical of healthier economies, after peaking at 6.7 unemployed people for each available job in July 2009, just after the recession ended. Total hiring rose 1.5 percent to 4.6 million in February. That’s still less than a healthy job market, where around 5 million people are hired each month. The number of people who quit their jobs rose slightly last month, the report said, while layoffs declined.

American and US Airways announced Tuesday changes to their policies on checkedbag fees and redeeming miles for free flights. Between them, they have 110 million loyalty-program members, Rubin said. Other changes: • For U.S. travel on or after June 1, American members can redeem miles for an unrestricted “AAnytime” award at 20,000 miles, 30,000 miles or 50,000 each way instead of the current 25,000-mile flat rate. The less-flexible “MileSAAver” awards will continue to start at

12,500 miles. • Mid-tier elite members (platinum on American; gold and platinum on US Airways) will get two free checked bags; a reduction of one for the US Airways’ Dividend Miles elites. • Lower-level elites (gold on American; silver on US Airways) will get one free checked bag, a reduction from two for the American customers.

DETROIT – Only two of nine midsize SUVs got the highest rating in crash tests done by an insurance industry group. The Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain, both made by General Motors, received the highest “good” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Toyota Highlander got the second-best “acceptable” rating in tests of 2014 models. But the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner and Ford Explorer got “marginal” ratings, while the Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-9 and Honda Pilot all were rated “poor.” The ratings are based on six crash test measurements done by the institute. Only the Equinox and Terrain got “good” ratings in a front overlap crash that mimics what happens when a car’s front corner collides with another vehicle or an object like a utility pole. In the test, 25 percent of a vehicle’s front end on the driver’s side strikes a rigid barrier at 40 mph.

Comcast touts benefits of Time Warner Cable deal WASHINGTON – Comcast Corp. presented its case Tuesday to government regulators arguing its $45 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable Inc. will benefit consumers without limiting competition. The company filed hundreds of pages of documents with the Federal Communications Commission after filing a notice Monday with the Justice Department. On Wednesday, Comcast Corp. executive vice president David Cohen will testify before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing to review the impact of the merger on consumers. Comcast said the acquisition will allow it to boost Internet speeds for Time Warner Cable. The filing also said the company will provide better video-on-demand service and broaden its commitment to “Net neutrality” – the idea that Internet providers should not discriminate against Web traffic depending on its source. Comcast has agreed to not discriminate against any traffic in its network through 2018 as a condition of its $30 billion purchase of NBCUniversal, which was completed last year.

Prepare for health-care costs during retirement As you save and invest for retirement, what are your ultimate goals? Do you plan on traveling the world? Purchasing a vacation home? Pursuing your hobbies? People often think and plan for these costs. Yet, too often, many of us overlook what potentially could be a major expense during our retirement years: health care. By preparing for these costs, you can help yourself enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. Many of us may ignore the impact of health-care costs because we just assume Medicare will pay for everything. But that’s not the case. In estimating health-care costs during retirement, you may find that $4,000 to $6,000 per year per person for traditional medical expenses is a good starting point, although the amount varies by individual.

whatever supplemental insurance you may carry and other factors. • Know the key dates: Things can change in your life, but try to identify, as closely as possible, the age at which you plan to retire. This will help you spot any coverage gaps before you become eligible for Medicare at age 65. Also, be aware of the seven-month window for enrolling in Medicare, beginning three months before your 65th birthday. • Review your insurance options: Medicare-approved insurance companies offer some other parts to Medicare, including Part D, which covers prescription drugs; Medigap, which covers gaps in Parts A and B (in-hospital expenses, doctor services, outpatient care and some preventive services); and Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage, which is designed to replace

FINANCE Steve Middaugh Furthermore, this figure does not include the costs of long-term care, which can be considerable. To illustrate: The national average for home health aide services is nearly $45,000 a year, and a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 a year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. What can you do to help cope with these costs? Here are a few suggestions: • Estimate your costs: Try to estimate what your out-of-pocket health-care costs might be, based on your health, your age at retirement,

Parts A, B, Medigap and, potentially, part D). You have several options for Part D, Medigap and Medicare Advantage, each with varying coverage and costs, so choose the plans that best fit your needs. (For information about Medicare and supplemental insurance, visit www. medicare.gov.) • Develop a long-term care strategy: To meet long-term care costs, you could self-insure or purchase insurance coverage. To learn about long-term care insurance solutions, contact your financial adviser. • Invest for growth and rising income: Health-care costs typically rise as you move further into retirement, so make sure that a reasonable portion of your assets is allocated to investments with the potential for both growth and rising income. • Think about health-care directives:

If you were to become incapacitated, you might be unable to make health care decisions – and these decisions may affect not only your quality of life but also your financial situation, and that of your family. Talk to your legal adviser about establishing a health care directive, which allows you to name someone to make choices on your behalf. Health-care costs during your retirement may be unavoidable. But by anticipating these costs, you can put yourself in a position to deal with them – and that’s a healthy place to be.

Some exotic rentals cost IMF: World economy stronger but faces threats more than $2,000 a day forecasts for the U.K., Germany and Spain. It expects the eurozone to grow 1.2 percent in 2014 and 1.5 percent in 2015 after shrinking 0.5 percent last year. Both estimates are one-tenth of a percentage point higher than the IMF’s January forecasts. The IMF made no changes to its forecasts for U.S. growth, which it estimates at 2.8 percent this year and 3 percent in 2015. “The recovery ... is becoming not only stronger but broader,” Olivier Blanchard, the IMF’s chief economist, said at a news conference Tuesday. The U.S. and European economies are benefiting from smaller government spending cuts and tax increases, Blanchard said. Banks are improving their finances. And investors are increasingly willing to buy European government debt. Japan, however, is forecast to expand just 1.4 percent next year, down from the IMF’s previous projection of 1.7 percent, and just 1 percent in 2015. Higher sales taxes are expected to weigh on growth. Growth in China, the world’s second-largest economy, is expected to continue its slowdown from its doubledigit pace of a few years ago. That will have repercussions for many nations that export

• RENTED LUXURY Continued from page E1 “The day-to-day consumer will mirror what’s going on in the economy,” Rivera said. “When you look at the really high-end luxury travel markets, it’s always tended to be fairly resilient, and that’s been one of the deciding factors.” Customers for the high-end automobiles include Douglas Weil, a Southern California businessman who rents from Enterprise’s Exotic Collection about once a month and tends to choose Mercedes, Audis and BMWs. He owns a two-door luxury sports car, but wants something roomier and more practical when he’s shuttling around out-of-town clients. “It’s not so much to maintain an image, but to have the flexibility,” he said. Manufacturers have been supportive of the exotic rentals, Short said, because they’re a chance to introduce new models to well-heeled potential buyers. Some customers view a high-end rental as an extended test drive – a small investment to make before sinking hundreds of thou-

WASHINGTON – The global economy is strengthening but faces threats from superlow inflation and outflows of capital from emerging economies, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday. The lending organization expects the global economy to grow 3.6 percent this year and 3.9 percent in 2015, up from 3 percent last year. Those figures are just one-tenth of a percentage point below the IMF’s previous forecasts in January. The acceleration is being driven mostly by strong growth in advanced economies, including the United States and the United Kingdom, and a modest recovery in the 18 nations that use the euro currency. By contrast, developing nations, particularly Russia, Brazil and South Africa, are now expected to grow much more slowly than the IMF forecast three months ago. Russia’s economy will likely suffer as a result of its fight with the U.S. and Europe over the Ukraine. Others face high interest rates, which are intended to fight inflation but could slow growth. The IMF, in its World Economic Outlook report, sharply upgraded its growth

“When their own insurance is on the hook, they treat these cars like they treat their own cars.” Steve Short Enterprise vice president sands of dollars into a car. “When you get into a test drive, it’s short, you’re excited, it smells good, you’re not thinking of everything you need to be thinking about it,” Faulkner said. “If you can spend a weekend with it, you get a much better idea of if it’s the car for me.” For rental companies, the exotics sector requires an extra level of care. Businesses do more extensive detailing on the vehicles, drop them off at the customer’s doorstep at odd hours and require large deposits or an insurance plan fit to replace a car the price of a house. But what many dealers say hasn’t been a concern is customers taking their luxurious loaners on reckless joyrides. “When their own insurance is on the hook, they treat these cars like they treat their own cars,” said Short. “We don’t see people drag racing.”

raw materials and parts to Chinese factories. China is projected to expand 7.5 percent in 2014 and 7.3 percent in 2015, down from 7.7 percent last year. The 188-nation IMF and its sister organization, the World Bank, will hold their spring meetings in Washington this weekend. Finance ministers and central bank governors from the Group of 20 leading economies will meet Thursday. The issues highlighted in the IMF’s outlook, such as alarmingly low inflation, will likely be high on the agenda. Yet the meetings will be relatively free of the crisis atmosphere that beset the IMF for several years after the global financial meltdown and European debt crisis. “Relative to previous years, the global economy is more stable,” said Jacob Kierkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “This is going to be an annual meeting that will be more about process and medium- to longrun goals” than about shortterm actions. Nevertheless, analysts expect European officials, particularly the European Central Bank, to come under pressure to fight low inflation. Last week, Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s managing di-

rector, urged the ECB to take “unconventional measures” to push prices up. Such steps could include the purchase of bonds or other financial assets. The U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan have both made such purchases to try to stimulate their economies. Largarde’s comment drew a rebuke last week from ECB President Mario Draghi. He noted tartly that the IMF “has been ... extremely generous in its suggestions on what we should or should not do” and added that the ECB disagreed. Even so, the IMF “will reiterate the message that the ECB should be more aggressive,” said Domenico Lombardi, director of the global economy program at CIGI, a Toronto-based think tank. “The ECB is behind the curve.” Inflation in the 18 countries that use the euro currency fell to an annual rate of 0.5 percent last month. Though consumers can enjoy flat prices, ultra-low inflation can stifle growth. People and companies postpone purchases knowing that prices will be little changed months later. Debts become harder to pay off. That’s a particularly severe problem in Europe, where many governments remain squeezed by debts.

Mark Twain said, “I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.” Sometimes, in bridge, it is the lead that tells partner how to kill the contract -- as in this deal. What should West lead against three no-trump? How would that steer East in the right direction? Some players like to open two no-trump with 19 highcard points. I will do that, but only if the hand is full of plus-values: lots of aces and kings, good intermediates and, preferably, a ive-card suit. This North hand has too many minuses, especially with respect to aces and kings. South does not like to respond one no-trump, but has no choice. West should lead the spade nine, top of nothing. (Remember, if you lead low from length in an unbid suit, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit.) South takes the trick with dummy’s jack and calls for a low diamond. What should

happen now? East must be wide awake. Since South has the spade ace and king, he cannot also hold the heart ace. So East should win immediately with his diamond ace and shift to the heart three, the low card saying that he has at least one honor in this suit and is trying to take tricks there. West wins with his ace and returns the heart seven, giving the defenders ive tricks. Note that if East plays second hand low at trick two, South can sprint for home with three spades, one diamond and ive clubs.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - You have built a solid foundation that will serve to support your future accomplishments. Continue climbing the ladder to success by reaching out to those with the willingness and wisdom to guide you along the way. Great things lie ahead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The more people you are in contact with, the more encouragement you will receive. Be vigorous and determined as you pursue your goals. Your unique talents will carry you far. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you try to manage group efforts, quarrels and hurt feelings will result. Rather than start a debate, stick to your own projects. Your success will depend on how you handle others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Recharge your energy by arranging a trip or adventure with a friend or family member. Investigate some local attractions. You may discover romance or a new creative outlet along the way. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will have good luck persuading others to invest in your ideas. Your colleagues will support your effort. You will be satisfied with the feedback you receive and the results you get. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take a long, hard look at your current partnerships. You may be feeling disappointed or disillusioned, but if you are realistic and honest, you will find answers and make the right choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be blamed for difficulties in the workplace. If you have been careless in your habits, you will have to admit your shortcomings and face the music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Youngsters in your family circle will prove instrumental in a decision regarding a current project. Your popularity will soar once your plans are unveiled. Prepare to be in high demand. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Take a logical and realistic approach to a situation that requires a decision. You can save yourself a lot of grief by not grasping at the first option available. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Change is in the air. A new career could materialize as the result of a business trip. Expanding your horizons will stimulate your creativity and present some intriguing possibilities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be overwhelmed and under pressure. Consider your health before you waste time getting worked up over something that you can’t control. Financial matters will improve if you act quickly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Being stubborn won’t help solve your problems. Ease up and collaborate with all comers in order to get results. Cooperation and compromise will be necessary. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t give anyone the chance to take credit for your work. Keep your ideas under wraps until you can be sure you’ll get the recognition you deserve.
