Getting older through the eyes of the beholder My vision is failing me, and I blame it on advancing years. The aging process, in other words.

I can’t read the fine print in the newspaper anymore, and if you follow sports, there’s plenty of fine print to read. Where the Blackhawks are in the standings, to the Top 25 in men’s NCAA basketball, all the way to the comics. I now struggle reading it.

But my eyes were strong enough to pass my vision test, wearing my glasses, for my driver’s license, which is always a trick because my left eye is weaker than my right eye. But I passed the test, and that’s what counts.

I’ve worn glasses most of my life; I’m slightly nearsighted, and now I need bifocals for reading. I started wearing glasses when I was in second grade, if memory serves me correctly. During a routine eye test at school, it was discovered that my left eye could not see nearly as well as my right eye, and I was sent to the eye doctor in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The doctor diagnosed me with amblyopia – a lazy eye. That required me to wear glasses with a patch over my right eye so my left eye would be forced to become stronger.

I didn’t like glasses, and I really didn’t like the eye patch over the lens of my right eye.

It seems like I wore the glasses for about two years, and I was reluctant about them. I clearly remember one of my teachers asking me a number of times where my glasses were and asking why I wasn’t wearing them.

But eventually, my left eye got stronger, and I no longer needed the glasses or the cursed patch. I was relieved. A fair amount of teasing went along with the patch.

While the optometrist insists my left eye is as strong as my right eye, I beg to differ. I can see better with my right eye. And looking back to when I played softball and baseball as a kid, I couldn’t bring the bat around in enough time to get a hit. I believe now that my left eye wasn’t tracking the ball as well as my right eye, making it all but impossible to get that hit.

VIEWS Dick Peterson I was never an athlete, as much as I wanted to play all the sports. I was terrible at everything I played, but there was nothing like taking the field or the ice. I know I am making excuses for not getting a hit because of my eyes, but the shaded truth makes me feel better.

I spent the next 10 years or so without glasses, but nearsightedness would catch up with me in college. I couldn’t see the blackboard, sitting in the lecture hall. And, sure enough, after a visit to the optometrist, I was outfitted with glasses. My lenses aren’t like the bottom of Coke bottles. I am just slightly nearsighted.

Things are a little fuzzy without them, and I can really tell a difference at night when trying to read approaching street signs.

Over the years, every so often, I would go to the optometrist, usually for an eye exam and new glasses. In recent years, this has become an every-other-year process. One time, I lost my glasses in Lake Michigan on the Indiana side of the lake. I was so excited about the clear blue waters on that hot day that I stripped off my shirt and pants (I was wearing swimming trunks underneath), dropped my towel and ran headfirst into the lake, diving in.

It then dawned on me that I was wearing my glasses. Oops. I scoured the beach but couldn’t find them. I had old glasses that I could wear until I got my new ones.

This apparently is the every other year. The years appear to be coming more regularly. I’m aging, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

A 350-year-old bur oak tree known as the Wolf Oak is seen Feb. 1 on a 30-acre property in Woodstock. The Land Conservancy of McHenry County recently bought the property to save the tree and plans to restore it so it can be open to the public.

Nonprofit buys Bull Valley-area property as part of mission to save oak trees

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com BULL VALLEY – Passersby might miss the nearly 350-year-old bur oak tree located north of Route 120 and just west of Thompson Road near Bull Valley.

But all it takes is one look to realize why it’s worth protecting the oak and restoring the property it sits on, said Melissa Grycan, restoration ecologist with The Land Conservancy of McHenry County.

“I can’t really explain it in words, but just walking up to it and seeing it – there’s a connection there,” she said.

Oak conservation has been a strong focus of The Land Conservancy since about 2006, Executive Director Lisa Haderlein said.

Since the 1830s, there has been an 87 percent loss of oak groves in McHenry County because of disease, old age and development, according to information provided by the conservancy.

Although many of the oaks that remain are on private land, the conservancy has helped protect oak trees in areas including Harvard Gateway Nature Park, the Hennen Conservation Area in Woodstock and most recently at the Wolf Oak property near Bull Valley that holds the 350-year-old bur oak.

“Oak woods and oak savannas are some of the most endangered type of habitats on the planet,” Haderlein said. “And we’re fortunate in McHenry County that there are still some really, really great oak woodlands remaining.”

Although the conservancy doesn’t often buy land, in December it obtained a four-year loan to buy the Wolf Oak property, Haderlein said.

The conservancy received about $320,000 in pledges to pay for the cost of the property, provide a permanent endowment to take care of the land, restore it and open it to the community, she said.

The tree has a trunk nearly 5 feet in diameter, a canopy of about 60 feet and a height of about 30 feet, Haderlein said. Its branches touch the ground on either side, and the tree was named the Wolf Oak because of the space it takes up.

An oak woodland and savanna, sedge meadow and glacial features also make up the property.

When the land first was acquired, it was hard even to see the Wolf Oak from the side of the road, Grycan said as she piled brush Feb. 1 near the oak tree on a workday.

Norge Ski Club kicks off 112th winter tournament

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – Despite an unprecedented postponement and unseasonably warm weather, the Norge Ski Club kicked off its 112th annual International Winter Tournament on Saturday.

Hundreds gathered to watch the first day of the tournament, originally slated to take place in January but postponed because of uncooperative weather. On Saturday, about 35 junior ski jumpers competed, and about the same number will compete in Sunday’s competition.

The youngest jumper to compete Saturday was 5 years old, and people of all ages and experience levels are scheduled to compete Sunday.

The National Weather Service predicted weather in the 40s for the weekend, which was a concern leading up to

the event’s festivities.

However, a round-the-clock crew made sure the hill was fully covered in snow, Norge Ski Club spokesman Charlie Sedivec said.

“We started putting the snow down this week. I credit the success of today to the hill crew. They were out here 24 hours a day for three days,” he said. “Our club president, Scott Smith, was out here more than anybody to make snow. A lot of nights he sleeps in the clubhouse.

Without him, we would’ve had a tough time trying to hold the tournament.”

Even the decision to postpone the tournament had been a tough call, so there was no way the board was going to cancel the event completely, he added.

“It came together, and here we are,” he said.

County lawmakers make push to abolish local election boards

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Several McHenry County lawmakers want to take away most local governments’ power to hear objections to election petitions.

House Bill 2472, filed Tuesday by Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, seeks to abolish electoral boards for municipalities, townships and community col- Barbara leges, and transfer the Wheeler duty of hearing ballot objections to county electoral boards.

She said that in many cases, lack of knowledge of election law or outright political reasons translate to unfair treatment of objections to candidacies for local races.

The state changed the law starting with the 2015 election to abolish electoral boards for school boards, but other governments were removed from the legislation under pressure from their Springfield lobbying groups.

“In these local races, many times people can’t look at the matter objectively and have biases for and against candidates,” Wheeler said.

Gilberts Village President Rick Zirk, a longtime friend of Wheeler’s, approached her about changing the law. He said he has seen too many cases where local electoral boards either are overwhelmed by legal technicalities or deny ballot access for sheer partisan political reasons.

“When you have political people

who have a vested interest sitting in judgment … it just doesn’t seem like the right mixture. It sounds like a bad system to me,” Zirk said.

Zirk said the last straw for him was an objection filed against the petition of Margaret Sanders, the incumbent supervisor of Rutland Township, the Kane County township where Gilberts is located.

The electoral board of the township, where trustees and Sanders have had an acrimonious working relationship, voted, 2-1, in late December to remove her from the ballot based on allegations that she tampered with her candidacy paperwork after filing it.

Sanders’ attorney called the electoral board a “kangaroo court” and filed for relief in a real court, where a Kane County judge last month promptly threw out the board’s ruling and put Sanders back on the ballot.

McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan strongly favors abolishing the local electoral boards and having her office take on the extra work. The three-member county electoral board, which hears objections to petitions for county offices and school boards, consists of the county clerk and one representative each from the state’s attorney’s and circuit clerk’s offices.

Besides the chances of unfair treatment, McClellan said, a lot of smaller electoral boards either do not have the information needed to make the right decisions or meet so infrequently that they cannot do so.

“I think it’s a great idea to bring everything into the [county] clerk’s of-

“I think it’s a great idea to bring everything into the [county] clerk’s office.

Does this put everything on us? Yes, but we’re prepared to do that, and because we do it so frequently, I think it better serves the election cycle.”

McHenry County clerk

fice. Does this put everything on us?

Yes, but we’re prepared to do that, and because we do it so frequently, I think it better serves the election cycle,” McClellan said.

Wheeler said she does not know whether her bill will make it out of the House Rules Committee, which is where bills either get assigned to the proper committees for hearings or stay to die. She said bills that buck the political system face long odds in the General Assembly.

“One thing we know about Illinois is that things are orchestrated to give the advantage to a certain party or the incumbent,” Wheeler said. “I don’t think they’ll undo that choreography.”

Local Rep. Allen Skillicorn, R-East Dundee, whose district includes Gilberts, is the bill’s chief co-sponsor.

McHenry County Mental Health Board considers partnership with local police

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com CARY – A new partnership between the Cary Police Department and McHenry County Mental Health Board might help residents in need get access to behavioral health care more efficiently.

Scott Naydenoff, deputy police chief of field operations and mental health first aid instructor, wants to partner with the board to pilot a new program that would allow law enforcement agencies to better follow up with people in the community who have mental

health problems that might lead to police intervention.

Police frequently get called into situations that are escalated by behavioral health issues, Naydenoff said.

“It’s becoming more and more common,” he said. “On our side, we want to get people to the most appropriate care we can. On the flip side, the Mental Heath Board, who funds all the social services in the county, is looking for ways to get services in front of as many people as possible.”

Most police departments would benefit from the addition of a full-time social worker on staff, but there’s rarely

room in the budget for such a position, he said.

Right now, the police department has a partnership with the Woodstock-based nonprofit Turning Point.

A domestic violence advocate works with the department one day a week to follow up on domestic incidents. The advocate works to explain victims’ rights, assist with obtaining an order of protection and answer questions.

Naydenoff said he’s seen a decrease in repeat domestic incidents since the partnership’s implementation.

The Lake in the Hills Police Department is the only one in the county with its own social worker on staff. The Huntley Police Department contracts social worker services, Naydenoff said.

Other McHenry County departments don’t have those resources, he said.

Mental Health Board Executive Director Scott Block said he is supportive of the plan, which would cost about $52,000 to fund through November.

To start, one staff member would be shared between the Algonquin, Cary,

Crystal Lake, Harvard, McHenry and Woodstock police departments, Block said.

The point of the program is to make sure no one falls through the cracks after an emergency situation is rectified, he said.

“We are looking at nonurgent issues,” Block said. “Law enforcement has expressed the biggest concern is that once [residents] are out of crisis, they lack that ongoing support. Officers don’t have the time and resources for that.”

The Mental Health Board will discuss the item and potentially take action at its Feb. 28 meeting.

Cary-Grove High School administrator honored by state principals group

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com CARY – Cary-Grove High School Vice Principal Rebecca Saffert was recognized by the Illinois Principals Association this month.

Saffert, who is in her fifth year as vice principal, was awarded Vice Principal of the Year in the Kishwaukee Region, according to a news release. She has been with the district for 23 years, first as a teacher and then as a dean.

She now will go on to be considered for the state’s vice principal of the year.

“I went to Cary-Grove and have been very blessed to have my career at Cary-Grove, also. It is a very special place with a great administration and wonderful teachers and staff,” Saffert said in a statement. “It is hard to put into words what this means. I don’t do my job for the outward rewards – I get my reward by helping others.”

Saffert earned her bachelor’s degree in finance and worked for Gen-

She taught math for 10 years and then worked as dean for eight years before becoming vice principal.

Cary-Grove Principal Jay Sargeant said he nominated Saffert for the award because of her dedication to the district.

Saffert serves on several committees, including Parent University, GEMS, 1:1 Vision Committee, Assessment and Evaluation Committee, Parent Advisory Committee, district Instructional Team, district Operations Team, Graduation Credit Committee and Community High School District 155’s Safe Driving program.

HUNTLEY – People looking for the option to grab a beer or glass of wine at Starbucks locations in Huntley, Crystal Lake and Algonquin no longer will be able to do so.

A Starbucks spokesperson said via email that its “evenings” program, which offered wine, beer and small plates, has been paused, effective Jan. 10, and removed from its current locations.

“This will allow the majority of our locations to focus on our core business, continuing to deliver the Starbucks experience for our customers while op• The Associated Press contributed timizing the evening for our premium to this report.

customer,” according to a statement from Starbucks.

The program was in place at more than 400 U.S. stores, and the company will look at selling wine and beer in future reserve stores and roasteries.

Starbucks asked to surrender its liquor license in Huntley, and the Huntley Liquor Commission approved the request at its meeting Thursday.

Huntley’s Starbucks, 12210 Princeton Drive, had its liquor license granted in July 2015, Village Clerk Rita McMahon said, and it started selling beer and wine soon after.

The Starbucks at 790 S. Randall Road in Algonquin and the Route 14 and downtown Starbucks in Crystal Lake, which both had the “evenings” program, have not yet surrendered their liquor licenses, according to village and city officials.

Route 23 overpass work in Marengo to start Monday NORTHWEST HERALD MARENGO – The Illinois Tollway is expected to begin reconstructing and widening the Route 23 bridge across the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway on Monday if weather permits.

“Modernizing our infrastructure helps attract new businesses and puts local residents to work in good paying jobs,” McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks said.

“Improving the Route 23 bridge over I-90 is a critical first step to adding a highway interchange there, which would be an economic boon for McHenry County, putting our abundant agricultural output, highly educated workforce and enormous potential as a manufacturing hub within striking distance of a 21st-century interchange.”

Initial work will involve constructing temporary pavement for traffic staging, establishing preliminary dirt grading and installing temporary traffic signals at both ends of the bridge.

County officials said that while

Route 23 will remain open during this time, drivers should anticipate daytime lane closures with work crews using flaggers to manage traffic. Grossen Road, however, will be closed to traffic at Route 23, but can be accessed from the west via Carls Road.

“Improvements to the Illinois Route 23 bridge are long overdue, and we’re very glad to see that the state is ready to get going on making them a reality,” McHenry County Director of Transportation Joe Korpalski said. “There’s going to be a little traffic, a little dust and a little commotion while this work is done, but it is going to be well worth it.”

The single-lane configuration with temporary traffic signals at both ends of the bridge is expected to be fully implemented by early March. This will allow demolition activities to begin, which will be the next phase in reconstructing the bridge. Replacement is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

For information, call construction manager Chris Lepley at 630-669-9597.

ntroduced in February 1900, Kodak’s Brownie camera revolutionized photography by making it accessible to the masses.

The simple box cameras cost a mere dollar, and for less than a buck, the user could buy a roll of film and get that film processed. Consequently, interesting scenes and events began to be chronicled on postcards (the Facebook of their day).

The postcard shows a crash involving an early steam tractor making its way out of the Greenwood settlement in about 1905. Too heavy for the Nippersink Creek bridge, both fell into the water below.

Steam tractors – basically locomotives without track – chugged across

the fields under clouds of smoke. The ash and cinders left behind might still be found in those fields today.

• NORGE

Continued from page A4 The Norge Ski Club was founded in 1905 by a group of Norwegian men from Chicago. On Saturday, people gathered to tailgate, watch and compete in the ski jump games. The event has grown tremendously over the years, Sedivec said.

“This is an unbelievable turnout for a junior tournament,” he said. “I’d say we’re going to have maybe a thousand.

We’re extremely pleased. Our entire parking lot is full, and this is maybe only 20 percent of what we will have [Sunday].”

It was 7-year-old Nika Pelletiere’s first competition Saturday, and she said she was nervous, but excited to hit the slope.

“I just really like skiing,” she said.

“I like going down hills kinda fast and kinda slow – like at a medium pace. I think it’s fun.”

The North Barrington girl and her brother, Winn, 5, began the sport in Oc-

tober after two professional ski jumpers presented a clinic at Nika’s school, which sparked her interest.

“She likes skiing in general,” said Lisa Pelletiere, Nika’s mother. “We take her as much as we can.”

Skiing is a family affair for others as well.

Hills has been with the Norge Ski Club since the late 1980s. Albert Gasienica, a coach and ski jumper who will compete in the 2017 tournament, was there Saturday with his 18-year-old son, Patrick Gasienica, who recently competed in the Junior World Championship in Park City, Utah.

Albert Gasienica said it was import-

ant for him to get his son involved in the sport because of the good values it instills.

“It teaches a lot,” Albert Gasienica said. “Self-confidence, responsibility – they meet a lot of a people. Ski jumping is this tiny little sport, and those people are eventually going to be their friends for life.”

Cary Park District seeks vendors for spring craft show

Oak woods and oak savannas are some of the most endangered type of habitats on the planet, and we’re fortunate in McHenry County that there are still some really, really great oak woodlands remaining.”

Volunteer Randy Schietzelt of Crystal Lake helps to clear a property Feb. 1 in Woodstock. The Land Conservancy of McHenry County recently bought the 30-acre property to save a 350-year-old bur oak tree.

The Land Conservancy hosts regular oak workdays at its locations throughout the county, and about 10 volunteers came out to help cut and burn brush on Feb. 1.

When oaks aren’t managed well, the trees will die, and there won’t be any young oaks to take their place, Haderlein said.

Clearing out brush such as honeysuckle and buckthorn that is choking the oaks can be done through regular burnings, she said.

“Not all shrubs are bad, but it’s just the invasive ones that form a carpet,” Grycan said.

“Monocultures are never good.”

Oak trees are worth protecting because they provide a high level of wildlife diversity, Haderlein said.

“We’re all connected to nature, whether you know it or not,” Grycan said. “Our natural systems are really important, even just for clean air and clean water.”

Pete Jackson of Prairie Grove took a break from cutting brush as he looked out at the Wolf Oak during his first time volunteering with the conservancy.

“You could stand here and imagine what that tree has lived through, and it goes way

“That’s really exciting to me that it’s still here, it still produces acorns.”

Lauretta Wolf of Woodstock said she has been volunteering with the conservancy for more than five years.

“So much is getting paved over, cemented over, built on, that when you have, especially something like this 300-plus-year-old tree, it’s worth coming out,” Wolf said.

To continue conserving oaks, the conservancy is looking to use grant money to buy another oak savanna property off Schultz Road in Harvard, Haderlein said, and continuing to educate people in the county on how to protect oaks on their private properties.

Living together outside the box When I was little, I thought that the lines and borders of maps were real … that when you drove from Illinois to Wisconsin, there was a red line that you would cross to let you know you were in a new state.

Now the only way to know you’re in Wisconsin is that the road has changed from a series of bumps and potholes to smooth as a hog’s hide.

I also believed that the countries of the world were neatly separated by lines, so one could easily know when they were passing from the Belgian Congo to Portuguese Angola. Plus, each country was a different color on the map, which further confused me into thinking the predominant color of the ground was pink in the U.S. and purple in Canada.

The only country color that made sense was Antarctica, which was always an icy blue hue. However, Greenland was colored white and Iceland was green, which led me to several years of failing art class because I reversed the colors of grass and snow.

Furthermore, I thought that if you were sailing across the ocean you would cross latitude and longitude lines floating peacefully in the current. I always worried about hurricanes messing things up, forcing

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava the oceanic line painters to go out and repair them.

Of course, there are no literal lines crisscrossing the planet, outlining borders and delineating who owns what and who lives where. This planet is, by its naturalness, boundary-free.

It has frontiers, not borders. It has extremities, not confines. It has freedoms, not restraints. Our planet has unabashed elbow room, indulgent expanse and an overwhelmingly welcoming tolerance.

So where did all these lines and borders and boundaries come from?

We put them there. We divided up the planet into pieces. Our pieces and Their pieces. Our perimeters and Their perimeters. Our stuff and Their stuff. But we didn’t stop there.

Within our little pieces of the planet we began to divide ourselves. The Haves and the Have Nots. The Left and the Right. The Believers and the Doubters. The Visible and the Invisible. Us and Them.

UNION – Public protests about perceived loss of freedoms and equal rights is nothing new.

In the century that came after the Civil War, Illinois businesses made great gains, and the state emerged as a central player in the nation’s economy.

However, those gains were not spread equally across the population.

Many workers believed that their wages, hours and working conditions were unfair and repeatedly protested to improve their situation.

Political action, unionization, public education, strikes and rallies were their tools, but nowhere was their voice more clear and artistic than in song and poetry. Illinois became the center of American working-class protest music, as coal miners, laborers, printers, iron workers, clothing workers and their allies penned songs and poems for various causes.

Join musician, author and cultural historian Bucky Halker at 3 p.m.

March 6 at the McHenry County Historical Society for “Ain’t Got a Dollar: Illinois Workers and Protest Songs, 1865-1965.”

Halker, well-known for his music-history programs on Woody Guthrie and the Great Depression, will use a blend of performance, audience participation, commentary and discussion as he reviews a century of songs from Illinois workers.

Halker has a doctorate in U.S. labor history from the University of Minnesota, is a published author and has released several CDs.

Other programs in the series include: • 7 p.m. March 20 – “The National Park Service at Age 100.” Norman Moline, an accomplished cultural geographer from Rock Island, offers highlights of National Park Service history and discusses many of its sites throughout the Midwest, including the Pullman State Historic Site in Chicago and Abraham Lincoln’s home in Springfield.

• 7 p.m. April 3 – “Rockford’s Camp Grant and World War I.” Terry Dyer, a recognized scholar and lecturer on Camp Grant, will discuss the 1917 origins of this massive National Army

Training Center, named for Ulysses S. Grant, that operated until 1946. Dyer, a lifelong resident of northern Illinois, is the past state commander of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War and a member of John A. Logan Camp No. 26, the Gettysburg Foundation and the Rock River Civil War Round Table.

• 3 p.m. May 15 – “General Pershing and World War I.” Local historian and re-enactor Ed O’Brien will assume the guise of Gen. John L. “Black Jack” Pershing, commander of American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I and responsible for more than 2 million men. Pershing is the only American to be promoted in his

own lifetime to General of the Armies, the highest possible rank in the Army.

This remarkable soldier certainly is worth remembering as our nation marks the 100th anniversary of its entry into the war.

All programs are at the society museum, 6422 Main St. in Union. Tickets are available in the office, online or at the door. Series tickets are $35, or $30 for society members. A $10 donation is requested for individual programs.

The national parks program is made possible through a grant from Illinois Humanities. For information or to buy tickets, call 815-923-2267 or visit www. gothistory.org.

Retired Lt. Gen. Harold G. “Hal” Moore, the American hero known for saving most of his men in the first major battle between the U.S. and North Vietnamese armies, has died. He was 94.

Joseph Galloway, who with Moore co-authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young,” confirmed Saturday to The Associated Press that Moore died late Friday in his sleep at his home in Auburn, Alabama.

Galloway said Moore, his friend of 51 years, died two days shy of his 95th birthday.

“There’s something missing on this earth now. We’ve lost a great warrior, a great soldier, a great human being and my best friend.

They don’t make them like him anymore,” Galloway said.

Moore was best known for his actions at the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang, where he was a lieutenant colonel in command of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment.

His actions were later reflected in the movie “We Were Soldiers” in which actor Mel Gibson portrayed Moore. The book tells what happened to virtually every trooper

involved in the 34-day campaign and the climactic four-day battle in which 234 Americans died at landing zones X-Ray and Albany in November 1965.

Galloway, a former war correspondent for United Press International, said Moore was “without question, one of the finest commanders I ever saw in action.”

“Those of us who survived Landing Zone X-Ray survived because of his brilliance of command.

I think every one of us thought we were going to die at that place except Hal Moore. He was certain we were going to win that fight and he was right,” Galloway recalled.

Galloway and Moore wrote a second book, “We Are Soldiers Still,” which he said grew out of a journey back to the battlefields of Vietnam 25 years later. “We went back and walked those old battlefields. At the end of the day, Hal Moore and Col. Nguyen Huu An, the North Vietnamese commander, stood in a circle in the clearing and prayed for the souls of every man who died on both sides.”

He said the two shared an “instant brotherhood that grew out of combat.”

Anti-abortion activists, counter-protesters rally Protesters take to Chicago

By GENE JOHNSON

The Associated Press

SEATTLE – Anti-abortion activists emboldened by the new administration of President Donald Trump staged rallies around the country Saturday calling for the federal government to cut off payments to Planned Parenthood, but in some cities counter-protests dwarfed the demonstrations.

Thousands of Planned Parenthood supporters, many wearing the pointyeared pink hats popularized by last month’s women’s marches, turned out for a rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, separated by barricades from an anti-abortion crowd of a couple hundred people.

In Detroit, about 300 people turned up outside a Planned Parenthood office, most of them supporting the organization. In St. Louis, thousands marched, many carrying pink signs that read, “I stand with Planned Parenthood.”

“They do a lot of work to help women with reproductive health – not just abortions, obviously – but they help with birth control and cancer screenings and counseling and a whole variety of services, and it seems they’re under attack right now, and that concerns me greatly,” said Kathy Brown, 58, a supporter of the organization who attended the St. Paul rally.

Health centers sue Rauner over abortion-notification law

SPRINGFIELD – Eighteen Illinois women’s health organizations have sued Gov. Bruce Rauner over a law requiring pregnancy centers to tell patients about the benefits of abortion despite conscience-based objections.

Thomas Olp is an attorney for the Thomas More Society. It filed the lawsuit Thursday in Sangamon County.

The measure requiring the dispensing of abortion information changed a 1977 law allowing health care professionals to refuse services they consider morally objectionable. The law took effect Jan. 1. Olp said it violates the First Amendment’s speech protection.

CHICAGO – A few dozen protesters gathered outside a Planned Parenthood in Chicago calling for the health centers to be stripped of federal funding.

Chicago’s WBBM reported that clinic escorts and police officers watched as a few dozen activists prayed outside the clinic.

Anti-abortion activist Veronica Price from Skokie said the movement was energized by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Trump last month banned U.S. funding to international groups that perform abortions or even provide information about abortions.

His newly confirmed health secretary, Tom Price, has supported cutting off federal money to Planned Parenthood.

Hunters, trappers take 141 bobcats in 1st season

SPRINGFIELD – Nearly 150 bobcats were taken during the first season that a new law allowed the previously endangered animals to be hunted.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said preliminary totals show 141 bobcats were taken during the season, which ran from November through January.

Of those, 69 were taken by hunting and 49 by trapping. An additional 12 were taken by archery and 11 salvaged from roads. The top counties were Pike, Jackson and Jefferson.

Lawmakers passed a bill in 2015 to allow the nocturnal animals to be hunted.

Supporters said the bobcat population had grown and become a nuisance and a threat. Opponents, including the Humane Society, said supporters exaggerated the size of the bobcat population.

The law allows no more than 300 bobcats to be taken each season.

Trump, Abe on same page after N. Korea missile fire

By JILL COLVIN

The Associated Press PALM BEACH, Fla. – For most of the day, President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe used golf under the Florida sun to show the world the U.S.-Japan alliance remained strong. Then events half-a-world away provided a more significant example of cooperation.

After North Korea reportedly launched a ballistic missile, the two leaders appeared for a hastily arranged joint statement in a ballroom of Trump’s south Florida estate. Abe spoke first and longest, though his statement was terse.

“North Korea’s most recent missile launch is absolutely intolerable,” Abe said through a translator. He added that the North must comply fully with relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions, but also noted that Trump had assured him that the U.S. supported Japan.

“President Trump and I myself completely share the view that we are going to promote further cooperation between the two nations.

And also we are going to further reinforce our alliance,” he said.

Trump followed Abe with even fewer words, saying in part: “I just want everybody to understand and fully know that the United States of America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100 percent.” With that, they left the room, a surprise of sorts given that the usually outspoken Trump neither condemned nor denounced the launch.

In the opening days of his presidency, Trump’s diplomacy had a rocky stretch that included contentious phone calls with the leaders of Mexico and Australia. In contrast, the first visit by a foreign leader at his Mara-Lago estate was a friendly weekend of meetings, dinners and golf that suggested the new president was willing to invest time in devel-

oping close personal relationships with leaders he feels he can work with.

The president and first lady Melania Trump hosted a delegation dinner with Abe and his wife on Saturday night at his Mara-Lago estate. At the time Trump ignored a shouted question about the North Korea launch. Focusing on the positive, he said the Abe visit had been “very very good” and that he and the Japanese leader “got to know each other very, very well” over their two days of meals, meetings and golfing.

Trump and Abe, both frequent golfers, left Mar-a-Lago early Saturday and headed north to one of Trump’s golf courses in Jupiter, Florida. Reporters and photographers from both countries, who were held in a room with blacked-out windows, did not catch a glimpse of the pair as they played. But Trump later posted a photo of them giving each other a high-five on the golf course and tweeted, “Having a great time hosting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the United States!”

Pro golfer Ernie Els joined them on the greens.

The Trump National Golf Club website, in typical Trumpian language, claims the course “features the finest revetted bunkers in the United States, incredible water hazards, including a magnificent island green, and one of the most picturesque landscapes, all of which make for a truly memorable round.”

The pair also paid a visit to another nearby Trump property: The Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

Abe had joked at a joint press conference at the White House on Friday that he was looking forward to playing golf with Trump, even though, he claimed, he’s not nearly as good on the links.

He said he planned to use the time to discuss the future of the world, the Pacific region and U.S.-Japanese relations.

GOP faces dilemma in repeal of health law taxes

By ALAN FRAM

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Republicans love cutting taxes, especially if they were authored by a president named Barack Obama. But as they push their wobbly effort to erase his health care overhaul, they’re divided over whether to repeal the levies the law imposed to finance its expanded coverage for millions of Americans.

It’s a trillion-dollar dilemma – actually closer to $1.1 trillion. That’s the 10-year price tag the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office puts on revenue the government would lose if the law’s taxes on wealthy people, the insurance and pharmaceutical industries and others were eliminated.

Republicans and President Donald Trump have been edging away from their promise to quickly eliminate Obama’s entire law. Still, annulling its taxes would be a partial victory and is irresistible for many GOP lawmakers and the conservative voters at the core of their support.

“We should do full repeal,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a leading House conservative. “And full repeal means not taking the taxes” from people.

Yet voiding those levies erases a mammoth war chest Republicans

AP file photo

Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., speaks March 20, 2013, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. would love to have – and may well need – as they try replacing Obama’s law.

It’s a major rift GOP leaders face as they try crafting a health care package that can pass Congress.

“These are sources of revenue you just can’t discount,” said Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., a member of the Tuesday Group of GOP pragmatists. He said the money could help “create a soft landing and coverage for those who currently rely on Obamacare.”

Republicans know they’ll need tons of cash, whatever they devise. The figure is currently unknown.

“Whatever we do in replacement is going to cost some money, and is there a way to generate money if we ditch all the Obamacare tax revenues or not?

That’s where we haven’t achieved consensus,” said No. 2 Senate GOP leader John Cornyn of Texas, who supports erasing the levies.

Killing the taxes leads Republicans

to other tough decisions.

If the taxes are repealed and they need money for their replacement plan, do they pay for it with higher federal deficits? Do they deeply cut Medicaid, which provides health care for low-income people, or carve savings from Medicare, which serves the elderly? Might they raise other taxes, something that’s been anathema to Republicans for decades?

“There’s going to be a temptation for policymakers to take the easy way out” and simply let deficits rise, said Maya MacGuineas, president of the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. She said for Republicans promising for decades to improve the nation’s fiscal health, that choice “is going to look hypocritical.”

The GOP has different options for preserving revenues, such as phasing in repeals of taxes or eliminating some while retaining others. Participants say Obama’s taxes on medical device makers and on insurance and pharmaceutical companies seem among the likeliest to go.

Still, with solid Democratic opposition a certainty, GOP leaders such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., face pressure to find a tax sweet spot without enraging part of their party or threatening the entire effort.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – New York City police plan to put body cameras on all 23,000 of its patrol officers by 2019, an ambitious effort that would dwarf all others across the country.

But the nation’s largest police department is lagging behind other cities, with only limited experience with the cameras and zero currently on the streets.

Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said his body camera plan, announced during a proposed labor deal last month with the police officers union, is crucial to restoring trust between officers and the communities they serve, “creating an atmosphere of transparency and accountability for the good of all.”

A federal judge ordered the NYPD to try out body cameras as part of a 2013 ruling that found the department was wrongly targeting minorities with its stop and frisk tactic. The 2014 killing of Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri, and other deaths at the hands of police around the U.S. led to increased demands that officers be issued wearable cameras to deter misconduct and document shootings and other clashes.

Since then, departments around the country began making progress. Philadelphia and Houston began outfitting a small percentage of officers. Chicago officials said it would finish its camera deployment of about 7,000 cameras earlier than expected, by the end of this year.

San Francisco’s police force, which had no cameras last fall, now has at least 250 in use.

And Baltimore, which erupted in riots after the 2015 death of Freddie Gray from a spinal injury suffered in police custody, have about 600 officers with cameras since a May rollout of an $11.6 million program.

In New York, the nation’s largest police department has only experimented

with the cameras on small scale, starting with a 54-camera pilot program that ended last March. The larger roll-out, part of the federal order, began in earnest at the end of 2014 following the end of court appeals. The aim is to have 1,000 cameras deployed to 20 precincts around the city this year. About 5,000 cameras would be deployed by 2018.

The department agreed to a five-year $6.4 million contract with VIEVUE for 5,000 body cameras and a cloud-based storage system. The bid from the Seattle-based company came in well under others from about 50 other companies jockeying for the bid, including Taser International, which has publicly complained and privately lobbied against its competitor.

Some city council members and pastors, concerned by the chatter, called on the police department to better vet the contract after reports that other departments had problems with the cameras.

New York City’s Department of Investigation is looking into the agreement.

And late last week, the office of city comptroller Scott Stringer briefly delayed a decision to OK the contract, but signed off on it Thursday.

The police labor deal, if ratified by officers, would clear one major obstacle: The union would drop a lawsuit over the cameras. Still, several officers who spoke to The Associated Press said they have mixed feelings about having their every move recorded. Some believe it will vindicate their hard work. Others were offended and think the cameras mean they can’t be trusted.

Civil rights advocates also have expressed concerns about how recordings of police interactions with citizens will be used.

Police Commissioner James O’Neill said last week that studies have shown the use of cameras affects the behavior of both police and the communities policed.

ANOTHER VIEW

State needs shutdown

Genuine urgency: There’s been a dearth of it in Springfield over the past 19 months. A real, unmitigated shutdown is precisely what Illinois needs.

Make no mistake, the General Assembly floor has seen more than its share of grandstanding as the state’s muddled along without a budget. Talk of pain among students and Illinoisans who rely on social services are cliché now. Budgetary extenders come and go. Billions in unpaid bills continue to pile up. Credit ratings are downgraded. And business is reminded why Illinois is not a state worthy of investment.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan hopes to inject some real urgency. For better or worse, her motion filed late last month in St. Clair County that would freeze the state’s payroll might be the extreme measure that ends a stalemate that’s lasted longer than any other in seven decades.

But this is Illinois. There’s a no lack of familial political intrigue.

Madigan is daughter of Speaker Michael Madigan, Illinois’ one-man wrecking crew who dominates anything that happens within the Legislature.

Gov. Bruce Rauner, predictably, squawked at Lisa Madigan’s lawsuit. She’s colluding with her father to force the governor’s hand, Republicans say. She’s putting her thumb on the scale in a struggle that’s as much about Rauner’s 2018 re-election bid as the state’s financial health, they claim. Forcing Rauner into promise-breaking tax hikes is the goal here, they say.

Republicans have no reason to trust Michael Madigan. Any Rauner victory would run counter to the speaker’s long-game. But for more than a year, court orders have forced the Illinois to lumber along in some semi-functional state. The constant instability of a quasi-shutdown has damaged Illinois’ prospects for years to come. College students aren’t sure whether their grants will come through. Social service agencies close, reopen, close again.

There’s no foreseeable end to the inexcusable stalemate, so long as state employees continue to get paid and service remains somewhat viable. Only the rage of public employees – many now considering a strike – outside the Statehouse will force action.

Only the real burden of lawmakers personally grappling with missed paychecks will hit home with the elected class.

Illinois hasn’t been functional for years. Lisa Madigan only hopes to make it official.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

U.S., ‘a beacon of hope’ for human rights and ideals, must stay vigilant Torture is immoral. Torture is illegal. Torture is ineffective.

These three truths, coupled with the shameful backsliding during the post-9/11 years of the George W. Bush administration, should have permanently put the torture issue to rest.

But torture as a U.S. policy option returned during the campaign of Donald Trump, who as president has held to his ill-considered belief torture works, regardless of ethics and law.

Thankfully, President Trump also has said he would yield to Defense Secretary James Mattis, who wisely pledged that the U.S. will not torture.

But America’s international image already has been

damaged. Trump, after all, announced his policy during a news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May, an event of global interest since it was his first official meeting with a foreign leader.

Mattis was joined by responsible Republican voices speaking with moral clarity. Arizona Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham were forceful in insisting the U.S. will abide by standards, laws and treaties.

“The president can sign whatever executive orders he likes,” McCain said in a statement. “But the law is the law. We are not bringing back torture to the United States of America.”

Despite Trump’s pledge to

defer to Mattis, his unyielding belief in the value of torture – “I happen to believe that it does work. I’ve been open about that for a long time,” Trump said during his appearance with May – means that Congress, Cabinet members and the American people need to remain vigilant.

“It’s shocking now that as a country this is a place where we are at,” Curt Goering, executive director of the Minnesota-based Center for Victims of Torture, told an editorial writer. “For our entire national history we’ve been seen as a beacon of hope that stands for human rights and ideals, and none is more central than how we treat people.”

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

The Minneapolis Star Tribune

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru no provision requiring the Senate to take up a nomination. The Senate doesn’t have to hold hearings or a vote. But if you believe an up-or-down vote on a nomination is constitutionally required, you can’t in good conscience filibuster that nomination. In a successful filibuster, a large minority of senators (at least 41 of them) block the Senate from holding an up-or-down vote.

So will the Democrats filibuster Gorsuch’s nomination? Two Democratic senators – Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia – explicitly have said they will not support a filibuster.

Several other Democrats say they support holding a vote on Gorsuch.

New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen says: “Unlike the Republican majority, I haven’t heard any Democrats saying we don’t think that Judge

Gorsuch should get a hearing or that he should get an up-or-down vote.

Everybody I’ve talked to agrees he should get a hearing and an up-ordown vote.”

Her comment seemed to suggest she will not join a filibuster. But Shaheen subsequently explained when she said Gorsuch should have an upor-down vote, all she meant was there should be a vote on whether to hold a vote on his nomination.

Senate Democrats know many liberals want a filibuster, but they also know Gorsuch is a mainstream conservative judge and filibustering him could just provoke Senate Republicans to abolish the power to filibuster Supreme Court nominations.

Perhaps Shaheen is trying to equivocate in response to this dilemma: Saying something that seems to rule out a filibuster while denying that she is ruling it out.

But her position is especially absurd given the Senate Democrats’ options. Shaheen (like Democrats who speak similarly) is trying to get credit for things that she has no pow-

er to prevent.

There are going to be hearings on the Gorsuch nomination whether or not Shaheen wants them, because the Republicans hold a majority in the Senate.

For the same reason, there eventually will be a vote on whether to proceed to a final vote on the nomination. The main choice Shaheen can make is whether to support moving to that final vote, or to a filibuster. If she is not willing to say which way she will go, she should stop patting herself on the back for being so accommodating.

Shaheen was one of the Democrats who claimed the Constitution required a vote on the Garland nomination. If she filibusters Gorsuch, she will prove this claim was not just false but insincere.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Contradictory tax positions

To the Editor: Oxymoron. If you don’t know what the word means, it is a combination of contradictory words (i.e. cruel kindness, according to my dictionary).

That pretty well sums up the two articles on adjacent pages of the Jan. 19 Northwest Herald. The first involved the rejection of an advisory property tax freeze referendum by the County Board. The second covered a new contract awarded the District 47 educators, giving them 3.75 percent annual wage increases for the next four years.

I’m sure the seven elected members of the school board are possessing of numerous degrees, but evidently none in common sense nor compassion. Not a one of them voted against a contract that will assure that our taxes will do nothing but skyrocket, driving the most vulnerable of our citizenry from the area. Regardless of your thoughts on education (and yes, it’s necessary, like the library, but so is keeping a roof over our heads), this action is criminal in my mind.

Gov. Bruce Rauner is right; unions have gotten way out of control. Shame on you, our elected officials, for not

even displaying a token rejection of this lunacy.

What Republicans did when President Barack Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court has added to the resolve of many Democrats to fight President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch. But what Democrats said back then stands in the way of their effort to fight him.

Senate Republicans refused to take up the Garland nomination.

Democrats said the Republicans were taking partisan obstruction to a dangerous new level. It was a reasonable if not entirely convincing argument.

But Democrats could not resist going further. In their outrage, they said the Republicans’ treatment of Garland violated the Constitution.

Obama himself set the tone in a prepared statement: “Give him an up-or-down vote. To deny it would be an abdication of the Senate’s constitutional duty.” Some Democrats still are echoing this claim. “There’s no doubt what they did was wrong and unconstitutional,” Sen. Jon Tester, D-Montana, recently said.

Actually, the Constitution includes

CHROMEBOOKS ON RISE

How Google’s stripped-down laptop conquered U.S. schools

By ANICK JESDANUN

ing engineering, robotics and graphics won’t be able to use Chromebooks to run the kind of specialized software that’s available for Macs and Windows laptops.

“But that’s not needed for 98 percent of our students,” said Tracy Dabbs, coordinator of technology and innovation at the Burlington-Edison School District near Seattle.

Many school districts limit Apple and Windows computers for the students who specifically need them, then provide Chromebooks for the rest. McDowell County, for instance, has 5,500 Chromebooks, 1,200 iPads — and only 100 Macs and 200 Windows PCs.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The Google Chromebook, a type of stripped-down laptop, isn’t a practical mobile device for many people – mostly because it basically turns into an expensive paperweight whenever it can’t find a Wi-Fi connection.

Yet Chromebooks have defied expectations and made major inroads in an unexpected environment – U.S. schools.

In retrospect, that shouldn’t be too surprising. Chromebooks are cheap and easy to manage, making them popular with budget-constrained schools with limited tech-support staff. And Wi-Fi is now common enough in U.S. schools and homes to make an internet-dependent device practical for students.

Google doesn’t want to stop there.

It’s releasing new models in partnership with Samsung that are designed to appeal to a broader range of consumers.

They have several tablet-like features, including a stylus, touch controls and a 360-degree hinge that allows you to turn the screen faceup. One starts selling Sunday for $449; a more powerful version comes out in April for $100 more.

Google and its manufacturing partners are trying to shed the Chromebook’s perception as underperforming budget devices. But even with premium models, expanding beyond U.S. schools won’t be easy.

CHROMEBOOKS GET SCHOOLED

For personal computers and tablets, Chromebook’s share of the U.S. education market was 49 percent last year, up from 40 percent in 2015 and 9 percent in 2013, according to IDC figures released this week.

But education accounts for just 14 percent of the 110 million devices shipped in the U.S. last year – and Chromebooks make up just 9 percent of that broader total. Their numbers are also low abroad, even in schools.

The Chromebook’s popularity in U.S. education is also largely limited to grades K-12, analysts say. Macs and Windows laptops are still dominant on college campuses.

ROUGH START

Chromebooks use a lightweight operating system designed to get people online faster, without having to wait around for the computer to start up.

RIVALS STAGE A COMEBACK

Google Chromebook laptops are impractical for many people because they’re little more than expensive paperweights when they’re out of range of an internet connection. Yet they’ve defied expectations and made tremendous inroads in one of the least likely places: U.S. schools.

Much of the heavy lifting on Chromebooks gets done on Google’s remote servers, so Chromebooks themselves don’t need fast chips or lots of storage.

Early on, though, that made Chromebooks seem cheap and underpowered, which “soured consumer expectations right off the bat,” IDC analyst Linn Huang said.

Online storage for photos and documents online was much less common in 2011 when Chromebooks launched, so their limited local storage was initially unappealing. And the few apps available for Chromebooks didn’t work offline, at least at the time.

Google sold the Chromebook on convenience. They’re easier for classrooms to share; just sign in with a Google account, and a student’s apps and documents instantly appear. Teachers also have online tools to lock down what apps and sites students can use.

And with models available for less than $200, schools can get a few Chromebooks for the price of an iPad or a rival laptop.

“It allows us to put more devices in students’ hands,” said Aaron Slutsky, chief technology officer for McDowell County Schools in North Carolina.

DIFFERING NEEDS

But Chromebook’s success story in schools is largely an American one, and it’s likely to stay that way. Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa notes that Chromebooks are useless in China because the device depends on Google services that aren’t available there. And in emerging countries, where a budget laptop would be ideal, she said internet access isn’t reliable enough.

Even in the U.S., the iPad is better for many creative tasks such as recording and editing movies. Students study-

But what constrains consumers can actually be liberating in education.

Most kids don’t need laptops on the bus or other locations where they can’t connect to Wi-Fi. And they don’t miss business software like Microsoft Office; Google’s online apps for documents and spreadsheets do just fine for homework.

“What surprised us was how quickly it took off in education,” said Kan Liu, who oversees Chromebooks at Google.

Apple’s iPad was hot at the time, but

FAR FROM UNIVERSAL

Last year, Apple gave iPads in schools some Chromebook-like features unavailable to the general public. That includes ways to let multiple people use a single tablet and management tools for tech-support staff. A new Classroom app lets teachers control what apps students run and track their progress.

Apple also provides classroom tools for teachers and students. Free e-books offer teachers step-by-step guides on using iPad apps and curriculum suggestions for everyday subjects. A separate app lets kids learn programming using the same language developers use to build iPad apps.

Meanwhile, Microsoft announced last month new online apps and management tools for schools, along with Windows PCs priced similarly to Chromebooks.

BEYOND SCHOOLS

Huang said some businesses are giving Chromebooks a second look, especially in retail, banking and other settings where people share computers.

But in many offices, the lack of business software such as Office is a major hurdle. Google’s alternative lacks many advanced capabilities found in Office, and habits are hard to change.

Google is trying to make Chromebooks more palatable by letting them run Android apps designed for phones and tablets. It’s testing this capability on a handful of Chromebook models, including the new ones from Samsung.

That makes it possible to install Office, Adobe Photoshop and many apps on a Chromebook, though these tablet versions have limited features compared with versions for Macs or Windows laptops.

Dear Dave: I’m a small-business owner with a lawn care franchise. It’s common in our industry, after the season is over, to send out pre-pay letters for the upcoming season. If we send out these letters offering a five or 10 percent discount for early payment on next year’s services, is that too similar to borrowing money from our customers at five to 10 percent? – Kevin Dear Kevin: Not at all. I definitely would send pre-pay letters. It takes some of the seasonality “ouch” out of your financial equation, and it gives them the opportunity to take advantage of a bargain. It’s not a bad plan from a marketing standpoint for your business, either. You might even be able to

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey add some new customers with an offer like this.

You obviously have to be really secure and confident in your ability to provide the service. Otherwise, you could end up in a really bad situation.

Your equipment, staffing and track record in the business will all come into play. But if all this is strong, and you’ve been in the business for a number of years and plan on staying in the

business for years to come, then this is something I’d definitely do.

Dear Dave: I’m 29, and I have no debt.

I’ve gotten a good start on my savings and retirement, too. My girlfriend and I plan to get married in the next couple of years, and she has about $90,000 in debt. I’m not paying on her debt yet, but I think together we can save up enough to pay it off by the time we’re married.

Should I temporarily slow down saving for a house and start saving toward paying off her debt? – James Dear James: Yes, I would have a “girlfriend debt” account. That way when she becomes your wife, you two can write a check the moment you get back from the honeymoon and be debt-free –

or at least knock out a huge portion of the debt. After that, the two of you – as in WE – resume saving for retirement, a house and so on.

That, James, is exactly what I would do. You’re right in line with my thinking on this, brother. Best of luck to you both!

Foundation gets grant to support student veterans program

The Friends of MCC Foundation received an anonymous $10,000 donation to support the MCC Student Veterans Program textbook and laptop grants to benefit student veterans this spring semester.

The donation is put toward the Pay it Forward Book Grant that bridges the gap between the veterans’ GI Bill benefits and receipt of military funds for books – funds veterans don’t always receive before classes start.

“This anonymous gift arrives at MCC at a critical time in the school year,” Loreen Keller, interim dean for Humanities and Social Sciences, said in a news release. Keller also serves as the veterans’ program administrator. “Many new and returning student veterans have tight budgets at the beginning of spring semester, and this generous gift allows the Student Resource Center to continue to support textbook and laptop purchases to increase academic and career achievement.”

Keller said the laptop grants have been beneficial for dozens of MCC student veterans since the program began in 2014.

Students who receive laptops are requested to volunteer 20 hours each during the semester or school year at programs on campus or at community programs or events.

For information about the Friends of MCC Foundation, call 815-479-7510.

Family photo album reveals a surprise in father’s past Dear Abby: My parents have been happily married for more than 30 years.

While flipping through an old family album recently, I discovered photos from a wedding many years ago that I had never seen before. Turns out, they were from my father’s FIRST wedding.

That’s when I realized his marriage to my mother was his second wedding.

I’d like to learn more about his first marriage, but it’s clearly something from my father’s past that I can’t talk to him about. I also wouldn’t want to sour relations with his side of the family by bringing it up with them. What should I do? – Wants to Know More Dear Wants to Know More: The shortest distance between two points is a direct line. How do you know this is “clearly” something your father won’t discuss? If his first marriage was a deep dark secret, those photos would

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips not have been kept in an album. The solution to your question would be to tell him you saw them and ask him to tell you about it. He may have learned lessons from his first marriage from which you could benefit.

Dear Abby: I am a man in my late 20s dating my on-and-off-again boyfriend of five years. I dread the parties and family gatherings he brings me to. I’m polite and good at holding conversations, but generally quiet around his friends and family members I don’t know well.

He jokingly puts me down at each event and says things like, “Why do I even bring you?” or, “Thanks for not

doing or saying anything” (which isn’t true). When I tell him afterward that I find his jibes offensive and suggest maybe he should date someone else who doesn’t irritate him at social events, he either plays it off as “joking” or says, “Well, it’s true.”

Any advice on how to handle this situation? – Quiet One in Pennsylvania Dear Quiet One: Humiliating someone isn’t funny; it is cruel. If the shoe were on the other foot, I’m sure your boyfriend wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end. If you have told him you don’t like his jibes and want them stopped and yet he persists, handle it by re-evaluating your relationship and looking for someone who is more sensitive to hang out with. If the ridicule happens often, it may be a clue that you are really not compatible.

Dear Abby: I lost my mother a month

ago. I just could not accept it because she was always there for me through the good and bad times. I would like to know how long my grieving period will last for me. – Son Mourning in Michi-

gan Dear Son Mourning: Please accept my

sympathy for the loss of your mother.

To answer your question, there is no set timetable for grief, and there are different stages of it. Right now, your grief is intense because it is fresh. With time, that intensity should fade to a level where it is tolerable. A grief support group could provide you the chance to talk about your feelings. Although you will always miss your mother, the sadness of her loss should not rule your life.

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You have the charm, knowledge and ability to get things done, putting you in an excellent position to advance personally and professionally.

Your input will be appreciated and your ability to turn your ideas into reality commended. Don’t let emotional deception or disillusionment cloud your vision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will be able to make important decisions and bring about positive change if you trust in your abilities and pay little attention to any negativity you encounter.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Emotions will be close to the surface, and unrealistic plans will lead to dis-

illusionment and setbacks. Think before you engage in something that borders on the impossible.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let uncertainty lead to a mistake. Moderation and common sense will help you avoid trouble. Do your best to assist others and stay focused on what’s important.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Emotional matters will escalate if you get into a debate. Diplomacy will help you avoid negativity and complaints. Listen carefully to another’s case, but do whatever is in your best interest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep track of your investments, assets and possessions personally.

Letting someone else handle your affairs will result in mistakes. Listen to emotional pleas, but don’t let anyone manipulate you.

marked improvement to your lifestyle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Use your intuitive insight when dealing with personal matters. Trust in yourself, not in what others say or do. A creative outlet will help you avoid getting involved in someone else’s affairs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional situations will escalate if you are gullible or trust someone who uses dubious techniques to sway your opinion. Personal gains will result if you trust in your experience, knowledge and skills.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Take the time to go over personal, legal, financial or medical concerns.

Don’t feel pressured to join a group or participate in an event that doesn’t interest you. Avoid impulsive and indulgent individuals.

Huntley, Jacobs each send set of siblings to state

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Two sets of wrestling brothers – Huntley’s Sam and Zach Spencer and Jacobs’ Jake and Beau Harrier – took similar, difficult, paths through the Class 3A Barrington Sectional on Saturday, and all four emerged headed for Champaign.

“It’s like picture perfect,” Jacobs coach Gary Conrad said after the second Harrier qualified. “It’s like a Disney movie right now.”

The brothers were among 10 locals who qualified for the state tournament by placing in the top four of their brackets at the sectional. Also qualifying were Huntley’s Josh Stenger (120 pounds), David Ferrante (152) and Juan Quiroz (160), McHenry’s Jaden Glauser (170) and Jake Leske (182) and DundeeCrown’s Chase Raap (182).

At 113, Jake Harrier was the first local to secure his spot at state, but it wasn’t necessarily easy, needing overtime in his championship semifinal to win by decision. He went on to finish runner-up.

Scoreboard Local state qualifiers from the Barrington Sectional (weight class in parentheses): Dundee-Crown: Chase Raap (182).

Huntley: Sam Spencer (106), Josh Stenger (120), Zach Spencer (126), David Ferrante (152), Juan Quiroz (160).

Jacobs: Jake Harrier (113), Beau Harrier (120).

McHenry: Jaden Glauser (170), Jake Leske (182).

His brother, on the other hand, had to come through the consolation draw.

Beau (120) pinned twice to start the day then needed a 5-2 decision in the consolation semifinals to secure his state place.

When time expired on the senior’s win, Conrad almost shook the boys’ dad, Jim Harrier, out of the mat-side chairs they were sitting in as coaches.

“I’m the proudest dad in the world right now,” Jim Harrier said. “He’s worked his butt off, and it’s paid off.”

It was especially sweet for Beau after he came up short in the sectional con-

solation semifinals a year ago at Barrington.

“I just wasn’t going to let it happen again,” Beau said he was thinking.

“That’s really it, honestly.”

Both Spencer brothers had to come back after losing their championship semifinals Saturday morning.

Sam Spencer (106) narrowly lost in overtime to drop down, but then won an 8-3 decision to book his first trip to state.

“Honestly, it feels decent, but I expected that out of myself,” the freshman said. “I’m happy I’m a state qualifier, but now I’m going to go down there and place.”

Zach Spencer (126) was down in the final minute of the match but got a takedown with 11 seconds left to win, 8-7, and secure a third consecutive trip to state.

“Incredible. Really, the last two years don’t mean much compared to having [Sam] with me,” Zach Spencer said. “I mean, watching him make it to state, if it weren’t for the fact that I had a match coming up myself, I would have been crying right there. I had to suppress the

Pfeiffer defeated St. Patrick’s Anthony Greco, 2-0, with a first-period takedown to win.

“I just kept thinking that I wanted to have an easier match in the first round at state instead of a harder one,” Pfeiffer said. “That’s what was going through my mind, get the ‘W’.”

Mier scored a late point for an escape to hold off Prairie Ridge’s Nick Fetzner, 5-4, in their third match of the season.

“This one was probably the toughest,” Mier said. “It’s hard to beat someone three times, each one was getting a little bit closer. I feel good. I just want to keep the momentum going.”

Randazzo was pinned by Harvard’s Justin Wilcox this season, but won decisions in the Woodstock North Regional (5-3) and again Saturday over Wilcox (8-4).

“This time I wanted to take it a little further and get some moves on him,” Randazzo said. “Last time, I was more cautious. This time, I wanted to do all I could to get as far away (with the score) that I could, to separate myself.”

BOYS SWIMMING: FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE INVITATIONAL

Cary-Grove co-op wins 10th straight FVC title

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Two of Ethan Hare’s teammates lifted the Cary-Grove coop boys swimming captain onto their shoulders inside the Woodstock North High School pool Saturday afternoon after the team celebrated yet another Fox Valley Conference title.

Hare, who won the 200-yard individual medley, the 100 butterfly and was on two winning relay teams, earned Most Valuable Swimmer co-honors – with Jacobs co-op sophomore Harold Ogaban – to lead the Trojans to their 10th straight FVC Invitational championship.

C-G won with 368 points, Jacobs coop (264) was second, and McHenry (208) was third. Huntley (135) took fourth, and Woodstock co-op (121) finished fifth.

“He’s the one that everyone kind of reveres on the team,” first-year C-G coach Scott Lattyak said. “He’s the leader of the team. He won his two events; he got the MVP. I thought it was the perfect honor for him because he does do so much for the team.

“To see him get it is extremely rewarding.”

Hare, a senior, won the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:00.18, and was the anchor in the Trojans’ winning relays in both the 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay. The 200 free relay of Omid Babakhani, Cameron Castro, Kolin Fadden and Hare set a new meet record of 1:28.69.

Hare also won the Jeremy Wolf 100 butterfly with a time of 54.15 seconds.

“I woke up Tuesday with a flu, fever-type thing, so I was not feeling good this entire week,” Hare said. “I was happy to see some pretty decent times after being sick all week. It hurt pretty bad to push, but both of my times are faster at this meet than they were last year.”

In the 400 free relay, the team of Connor Dolezal, Fadden, Babakhani and Hare won in 3:17.87. The Trojans were hoping to set a meet record in both relays, but Lattyak said the 200 relay was the more difficult of the two.

Babakhani won the 50 free with a time of 22.82, beating Fadden (23.0) and Castro (23.16) in the same event. Dolezal

took second in the 100 freestyle, and Noah Bengtson was third in the 500 free.

“It’s a big accomplishment. There’s not many sports you see people come back time and time again to win it,” Babakhani said. “This is the first year that JV came to this meet as well. It’s a really big team event. To have the whole team cheering on the other end, it was an amazing experience.”

Trojans freshman Noah Siegmeier won the 500 free in 4:59.32 and was named Newcomer of the Year, along with Jacobs co-op’s Alec Orndahl, who was runner-up in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly.

“This is the meet where I really wanted to show what I can do,” Siegmeier said. “All of Cary-Grove has been busting their butts for the past 21/2 months.

I’m just happy to go under 5 minutes.”

Orndahl, who attends DundeeCrown, set a school record in the 100 backstroke at 54.46 seconds.

“I thought that I had a good chance of winning (Newcomer of the Year),” Orndahl said. “With the help of my teammates and coaches, I felt fully confident.

My goals were just to try my best, get out there, and swim as hard as I can.”

Ogaban, who won Newcomer of the Year last year, shared Most Valuable Swimmer with Hare, winning the 200 freestyle in 1:48.05 and the 100 backstroke in 54.41. Ogaban, Orndahl, Elijah Stuart and Reid Coyle took first in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:41.60.

Stuart was second in the 100 breaststroke and 100 IM. “It’s hard because everyone is here, everyone is competing, and everyone is really fast,” said Ogaban, who narrowly beat Woodstock co-op’s Jeremy Wolf in the 200 free. “I like this pool because it brings back memories from last year.

Jeremy is one really, really great swimmer. Competing against him every time really brings out the best in me.”

Wolf earned first in the 100 freestyle (48.50), and McHenry’s Dylan Qualls was first in 100 breaststroke (1:03.56).

“Anything under 49; I was hoping for 48,” Wolf said. “I definitely achieved it, but I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my coach or parents supporting me all the way.”

McHenry’s 200 free relay of Riley Hedberg, Qualls, Jonah Smith and Josh Zabor took second, and Huntley’s Maxwell Hagberg was second in the 500 free.

WAUCONDA – Crystal Lake Central’s Lenny Petersen and Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton battled each other three consecutive weeks in last year’s postseason, culminating at the Class 2A wrestling state meet.

This year, with Sutton up one weight class, both seniors are looking for state titles.

Petersen, the defending champion at 138 pounds, cruised through his weight class with two pins and a technical fall at the Class 2A Wauconda Sectional.

Sutton, who lost the state title to Petersen last year, took the title at 145 with a major decision and will be one of the top wrestlers in that weight class.

They were two of 23 area wrestlers who qualified from the sectional Saturday. Petersen will be joined by six of his teammates, all juniors, at the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center on Thursday through Saturday in Champaign.

Harvard qualified five of its seven sectional entries, while Marian Cen-

4 BOYS BASKETBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 46, DUNDEE-CROWN 35

Short-handed Wolves grind out win Playing without 3 regular starters, PR holds off D-C

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Playing without three regular starters, Prairie Ridge slugged out a 46-35 boys basketball win over Dundee-Crown behind 11 points from forward Austen Ferbet on Saturday.

The win keeps Prairie Ridge atop the Fox Valley Conference standings and sets up a matchup with Jacobs on Friday. The Golden Eagles still have to get past Cary-Grove on Tuesday, but if they do, both teams would enter Friday’s game with one loss in FVC play.

Against D-C (4-19, 2-11 FVC) on Saturday, the Wolves (18-6, 12-1) were missing Kyle Loeding, James Queen and Brian Dorn. Loeding has been out a few weeks with a knee injury and is expected to miss the rest of the season. Dorn (sick)

Connor Kazin Prairie Ridge, jr., G

Kazin scored 10 points and shot 3 for 5 from the freethrow line. “Connor is one of our better drivers,” coach Corky Card said. “He can handle the pressure. He’s starting to play well for us.”

q THE NUMBER

4

Prairie Ridge held Dundee-Crown to four points in the third quarter and extended its lead to nine.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Late in the game, Prairie Ridge forward Austen Ferbet showed football skills on a catch over a Dundee-Crown defender on a full-court pass.

Ferbet will play tight end at Army next year. “It took me back to football season,” he joked after the game. and Queen (unspecified) are expected to return next week.

“It’s kind of a ‘next man up’ mentality,” junior guard Connor Kazin said.

“We’re just trying to play hard in spots

and keep getting wins.”

Kazin was the next man up Saturday.

He scored 10 points, eight in the second half.

Both teams struggled to score early.

Prairie Ridge led most of the way, but D-C cut the lead to three at halftime. The third quarter proved to be the difference.

“We had a hard time scoring in the third quarter and they didn’t,” D-C coach Lance Huber said. “Then when they go to the delay game they’re really good at it.”

The Wolves held the Chargers to four points in the third quarter and extended their lead to nine. The Wolves played keep-away for stretches, forcing the Chargers out of their zone defense and into man-to-man.

On one third-quarter possession, the Wolves ran off more than a minute and a half, content to hold the ball while the Chargers sat back in the zone.

“That’s part of their game. When you have the upper hand, you can afford to do it,” Huber said. “They do a good job with what they’re supposed to do, and they executed well.”

Ferbet scored six of his 11 in the fourth quarter. He also grabbed five rebounds in the game. Even when he

wasn’t coming down with the rebound, he was able to get a finger on the ball and tip it out to his teammates.

Ferbet said this week has been an adjustment with all the guys missing action.

“It’s been hard, but we’ve fought through it,” Ferbet said. “We’ve had two games without three of our best, I’d say.

We just fought through, and next week we’ll get two of them back.”

Trevor Potter scored nine points, including 4 of 4 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter. The Wolves forced 17 turnovers in the game.

“Defensively, we played pretty well,” Kazin said. “We had our hands up a lot, talking, moving after the ball was thrown.”

Card thought his team showed good patience on offense and communicated well. He credited the Chargers for playing physical defense.

For D-C, Bradley Stec led the way with eight points and seven rebounds.

Jordan Hairston and Kevon Jones each scored seven points. The Chargers shot 8 for 20 from the free-throw line.

“We missed a bunch of easy layups and some free throws,” Huber said.

“Free throws and layups win games.”

GIRLS SOCCER: RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS WEEK

CLC, CLS, D-C, Huntley, Jacobs eager to give back

Boys soccer teams participate in Random Acts of Kindness Week last fall. Eighty girls soccer teams will participate in a similar event Sunday. nior Sara Kuczynski. “One little thing is going to make someone’s day. It’s cool because all the high school girls are doing this; it’s not just in one area, it’s also happening everywhere else [in the Chicago area].”

The Chargers girls soccer team will visit a retirement home Sunday and stop at a local Jewel to help carry groceries to people’s cars for them.

Teams will take 90 minutes out of their day, the length of a soccer game, to

give back to the community in a unique way.

The Crystal Lake South boys soccer team was among the teams that participated in the boys’ version of the event in September. Coach Brian Allen said it was a great bonding opportunity for his team, in addition to a great chance to give back.

“It was a lot of fun for our team,” Allen said. “We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Those 2,500 girls wearing capes this weekend aren’t superheroes. Well, for a day they will be.

On Sunday, girls soccer players from 80 high schools across the Chicago area will don capes and kick off National Random Acts of Kindness Week with charitable acts throughout their local communities.

Buddy’s HELPERS, the community service arm of the PepsiCo Showdown soccer tournament, has teamed up with its participant schools to make a difference off the field. Among the local teams participating are Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Dundee-Crown, Huntley and Jacobs.

“The cool part of this whole thing is it’s like a domino effect,” said D-C se-

to take an extension beyond the soccer field and realize that high school soccer can be an avenue to make a difference in the lives of people and communities.”

When the boys did it in the fall, all the teams met in downtown Chicago and performed random acts of kindness throughout the city. For the girls this weekend, each team will be doing something in its own community.

Huntley senior Tayah Owens and her family adopted her dog, Disney, from an animal shelter in Huntley. On Sunday, she and her team will be helping out at a local shelter.

“We’re going to help out with the animals and the people that work there,” Owens said. “We’re helping them out with stuff they can’t do and need help with. We’ll be walking dogs, cleaning windows, playing with the cats and cleaning up after the animals.”

Allen said he thinks it’s important for high school kids to see firsthand that they can make a difference for other people in the community.

“High school kids can do a lot more than they often give themselves credit for,” Allen said. “To see them rise to that level on their own is pretty neat.”

8 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

Penn St. finally earns win at Illinois The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Champaign hasn’t always been the kindest road location for Penn State, but that changed Saturday with the Nittany Lions’ 83-70 win over Illinois.

It was Penn State’s first win in Champaign since the 2008-09 season.

Payton Banks tied his career high with 24 points, and Penn State won its third straight against the Illini for the first time since the series started in 1990.

Banks made three of Penn State’s seven 3-pointers, and the Nittany Lions shot 56.9 percent overall. It was his fourth 20plus game of the season and the sixth of his career.

Penn State (14-12, 6-7 Big Ten) didn’t allow Illinois to get into an offensive groove. The Fighting Illini had numerous three-minute scoring droughts and Penn State closed the first half on a 14-2 run for a 41-29 lead.

Illinois narrowed the game down to a five-point deficit with five minutes left, but Penn State fought off the rally.

I know him better than anyone. I know how much he wants it. So to see him do it and follow in my footsteps of coming in as a freshman and making it, it’s great.”

The five state qualifiers was a record for Huntley, after sending four each of the past two years.

“Just believing in what we do. I told them, once again, ‘Nobody wrestles like we wrestle,’ ” Huntley coach BJ Bertelsman said. “You could see it in some of these matches. We’d bust our tails and we outwork kids. Kids were dying out there, but we just kept going, just kept going.”

Huntley’s Ferrante was the only local to walk away with a sectional title. The freshman beat Barrington senior Jake Cysewski by decision, 4-1, in overtime for the championship.

I was just always looking to score the next point and just keep wrestling.”

Another freshman in a thrilling title match was McHenry’s Glauser.

One of the area’s best all year, his state berth-sealing win in the semifinals made him 40-0, but in the 170-pound final, he took his first loss.

Glauser trailed Stevenson’s Nikita Nepomnyashchiy 4-3 in the final seconds but got an escape point with 21 seconds

left to force overtime. In the sudden-victory period, however, Nepomnyashchiy was able to get control of one of Glauser’s legs and take him down along the edge of the mat.

“It just was a good match that I fell short on a few different certain situations and gave up some things I shouldn’t have, but it was a good match,” Glauser said. “He got me here, but still have another weekend left.”

Glauser retreated to sit against a wall for a few minutes after the match, talking with family and teammates, but not long after he seemed to have shaken off the first loss of his high school career.

“Nobody is going to go their whole life without losing,” Glauser said. “Was it like a shocker? I wouldn’t really say it was a shocker. Obviously, you don’t want to lose, but you know going into the match that this is going to be a brawl, and that’s just how it ended up, but it was still a fun match. It was still a good match. It doesn’t change how I feel about going into the state tournament.

Anything can happen down in Champaign.”

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks top Oilers, win 5th straight

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com

EDMONTON, Alberta – Richard Panik scored twice and set up another goal, and the Blackhawks beat the Edmonton Oilers, 5-1, Saturday night for their fifth straight win.

Patrick Kane had a goal and two assists, and Trevor van Riemsdyk and Artem Anisimov also scored for the Hawks, who had lost three in a row before their recent run.

Patrick Maroon scored for the Oilers, who have lost four of five.

Scott Darling made 30 saves for the Hawks.

Cam Talbot started in goal for Edmonton and allowed four goals on 20 shots before being relieved by Laurent Brossoit.

Edmonton started the scoring 4:01 into the opening period when Connor McDavid deftly stole a puck from defender Niklas Hjalmarsson and sent a backhand pass in front to Maroon, who beat Darling for his 19th goal of the season.

– The Associated Press going into the last part of it. It’s been a real positive trip for us. [Friday night] might have been the best.”

The Hawks did not let down against the Jets after a big overtime victory against the Wild. They never trailed, preserved a 2-1 lead through most of the third period until Duncan Keith gave them a two-goal lead before coasting to victory.

“The boys have come to play and we’ve played well,” said defenseman Brent Seabrook, who had six blocked shots in the game. “We had at tough stretch where we were leading and had a chance to get points or win the game late and we weren’t getting it done. To see the guys be in tight games the last couple of games and push it in our favor late in games and come out

with two points has been huge.”

The finale of the road trip against the Oilers presented a unique challenge for the Hawks, with their bye week starting Sunday. After playing the Oilers, the Hawks don’t play again until facing the Oilers at the United Center on Saturday.

HAWKS NOTES

Seabrook makes difference by blocking shots

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com EDMONTON, Alberta – Brent Seabrook made the defensive play of the game in the Blackhawks’ victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night when he swatted a puck out of danger as it slithered toward the goal line after going between goalie Corey Crawford’s legs.

But that was just part of an overall outstanding defensive game for Seabrook, who also blocked six shots, including two by Jets star Mark Scheifele from close range early in the third period when the Hawks were protecting a 2-1 lead.

The goal-line saves might happen once or twice a season. But blocking shots is an opportunity for Seabrook

to make a difference every game. After the 5-2 victory over the Jets, the Hawks are 13-0-0 this season when Seabrook blocks three shots or more. He had 88 for the season heading into Saturday night’s game.

“You control what you can control, as Brent far as getting in shot Seabrook lanes and the willingness to put your body there is the No. 1 factor to it,” Seabrook said. “I don’t really think [about] it. I’m not going out there saying I want to have five or six blocked shots. I’d like to have zero blocked shots and spend zero time in my zone. It is part of the game, and that’s just sort of how it shakes out.”

Back in the groove: After a lull in January, a resurgent second line of Patrick Kane, Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin has fueled the fourgame winning streak the Hawks took into Saturday night’s game against the Oilers.

With each of them scoring goal against the Jets (Panarin’s an empty-net goal), the trio combined for six goals and 15 points in the four-game winning streak. Kane, Anisimov and Panarin had one goal (by Kane) and four points in the previous six games.

Hossa going strong: Marian Hossa’s short-handed, empty-net goal against the Jets gave him 20 goals for the season – the 15th time in 17 full NHL seasons he has scored 20 or more goals.

The only seasons Hossa has not scored 20 goals were his rookie year

of 1998-99 (15), the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season (17) and last season (13) when he missed 18 games because of injury and an illness.

Hossa is 26th on the NHL’s all-time list with 519 goals. He has 180 in eight seasons (511 games) with the Hawks.

Off the SHG schneid: The Hawks finally scored a short-handed goal this season when Hossa scored an empty-net goal against the Jets with Marcus Kruger in the penalty box for high-sticking. Last year, the Hawks had 10 short-handed goals. The Blues are the only team in the league without a short-handed goal this season.

The short-handed goal was Hossa’s 18th with the Hawks and 34th in his career – most among active players and tied for 10th overall since the NHL-WHA merger in 1979.

EDMONTON, Alberta — The Blackhawks faced one final challenge to conclude their six-game post-AllStar break road trip – avenging a blowout loss to the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place in November and finishing strong ahead of their bye week.

But even before the Hawks’ 5-1 victory over the Oilers on Saturday night, coach Joel Quenneville was confident his team took a big step on this trip.

After opening the trip with a 3-1 loss to the Sharks – allowing two more third-period goals to lose their third consecutive game – even Quenneville sensed his team was on tilt with five road games left on the trip.

But they recovered with five hardfought victories – against the Coyotes (4-3), Stars (5-3), Wild (4-3 in overtime), Jets (5-2) and Oilers. And snapped regular-season losing streaks against the Wild (eight games) and Jets (four games) – a little evidence, perhaps, that the Hawks still have that ability to respond to a particular challenge, something that would bode well for the postseason.

“When we began this trip after the break, it was an important stretch for us, knowing we could make or break our year [and] put us in a good spot,” Quenneville said before the game.

“We captured some momentum here

10 CUBS

Even champs have issues to sort out

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com The shortest offseason in the history of the Cubs is coming to an end.

Those magical words, “pitchers and catchers report,” will ring throughout Arizona and Florida this week as spring training begins.

It was Nov. 2 when the Cubs took the field for the final time in 2016, and they won perhaps the most memorable seventh game in World Series history when they pulled out an extra-inning victory at Cleveland.

The short offseason brings its own set of challenges, but playing into November is the goal of every team, and the Cubs gladly will deal with those challenges as they open spring training Tuesday in Mesa, Arizona.

Many prognosticators like the Cubs to advance to the postseason and to make another deep run. The journey begins now, and even though the Cubs are defending world champions for the first time since the spring of 1909, they face their own set of questions and issues.

Here are a few:

MONITORING THE WORKLOAD

Except for Kyle Hendricks, the Cubs have a veteran pitching staff. Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta and John Lackey have put some mileage on their arms in recent years, so it will be interesting to see how manager Joe Maddon and pitching coach Chris Bosio take care of those arms this spring and into the regular season.

There are two built-in off-days in March during the Cactus League season, so that will help. Maddon and Bosio may limit the innings load of their veterans during the spring.

Mike Montgomery and recently acquired Brett Anderson will be stretched out to start in spring training. Maddon went to a six-man rotation at times last

WHO IS THE GO-TO GUY NOW?

During the previous two seasons, Maddon always told leadoff man Dexter Fowler, “You go, we go.”

Fowler did go this offseason: to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Filling Fowler’s center-field spot should not be a problem. The Cubs signed veteran Jon Jay in the offseason, and youngster Albert Almora already is a major-league-caliber outfielder despite his inexperience.

The Cubs will miss Fowler is in the leadoff spot, where he indeed put the “go” in their attack. Fowler put up onbase percentages of .346 and .393 in his two seasons with the Cubs.

Four guys racing toward a cliff (or not) I think of the climate change debate as four guys arguing over who should take the wheel while locked in a brakeless car that may (or may not) be racing toward a cliff that may (or may not) be there.

Still with me? OK, then buckle up, because it’s gonna be a bumpy metaphor.

One guy in the back seat reclines against the upholstery, his hands folded behind his head, his eyes closed, his pulse calm and regular. “What are you talking about, ‘racing?’ I can’t feel the car moving at all,” he says. He acknowledges the car may rock gently every once in a while, which could give the impression of movement. But those slight movements have nothing to do with a foot on the gas pedal. “It’s just natural forces, like the wind gusting every now and then before calming down again. Don’t be such drama queens. Everybody just relax. Enjoy the ride.”

The guy sitting next to him has his eyes open and can see evidence of the landscape flashing by, but he is calm and relaxed, too. “No, we’re definitely not where we used to be. We’re moving forward, but I wouldn’t call it racing.

Or maybe it is. But who cares, because there’s no cliff up ahead, just more open road like what we’ve been traveling on all along.” He agrees everybody should just relax because, after all, they’re making really good time.

A guy in the front seat says, “No, there’s definitely a cliff, and we’re going to plunge over it and die if we don’t do something about it right now! Quick, help me figure out how to build some brakes for this car before it’s too late!”

His heart pounds like a jack-hammer, because nobody in the car – or anywhere else – has ever had any experience building brakes from the inside of a brakeless car hurtling faster and faster down the road toward impending disaster.

A fourth guy sitting next to him in the front seat says, “Yeah, we’re definitely racing forward, and there’s definitely a cliff up ahead, but working on brakes is a waste of time because we’re already

too close to it. We’ll never get them done in time, and we’re dead if we invest all our energy into trying to prevent the inevitable. But we may have time to build a parachute, or maybe glider wings.

Our only hope is to float off the cliff and adjust to whatever the road is like at the bottom.” His heartrate is a bit fast, too, but not as skittery as the build-thebrakes guy. Accepting the inevitable can have a calming effect, for better or for worse.

The guys in the back seat smile at each other and shake their heads.

“Chicken Littles,” they murmur, and they pull their ball caps down over their eyes for a quick nap.

The guys in the front seat sigh in frustration. “Ostriches,” they say, and they continue the debate about what to do with the cliff yawning ever closer.

“It’s not too late,” says the brakes guy.

“Sure, nobody’s ever built brakes for a speeding car because nobody’s ever had to. But we can do it. We can stop this thing, or at least slow it down enough to buy time to find a better solution. And if we can stop it altogether, maybe we can find a way to back up.”

That wakes up the second guy in the back seat. “Wait, what? Back up? Why would you want to back up? When we were back there we all agreed we wanted to take this trip. We wanted to keep going forward. After all, the landscape has gotten better and better with every mile, hasn’t it?”

“Not lately,” the two guys in the front seat say at the same time. “The road has gotten pretty rough over the last few miles. And there’s no reason to think it’ll get any better before it gets worse.”

“Bah,” snorts the first guy in the back seat, his cap still pulled over his eyes, his arms folded across his chest. “Smooth patch, rough patch. That’s just how roads are.”

The front-seat guys shake their heads at what they see as ignorance and stubborn denial on the part of their back-seat companions.

Still, they have to admit, the back-seat guys have a point, as far as it goes.

After all, the road has shown them marvelous things with every mile they have traveled – better restaurants, better lighting, better health care facilities. It would be a shame to give all that up by backtracking. The temptation is great just to keep racing forward, because who can say what wonders lie ahead? And if the very best attractions lie ahead, why not step on it to get there?

But … what about all those signs, warning of disaster ahead?

The backseat guys snort in derision.

“Look at all the other frantic warning signs we’ve passed that didn’t come true. Bridge may be frozen? It wasn’t.

Construction ahead? The roadwork was already finished. Trucks entering highway? No trucks in sight. Besides, who puts those signs up anyway? Someone with a personal agenda and something to gain, like local merchants who just want you to slow down and maybe shop at their stores.”

“But these signs are different,” say the front-seat guys, “because … .”

“Different, schmifferet … .”

On and on the debate rages.

On and on the car speeds (or not) toward the cliff (or not).

And while they can’t agree about the nature of their trip together, they blast the radio when that Queen song comes on, gleefully banging their heads up and down before the music fades and they lilt the final chorus as tenderly as choirboys singing a slow, sad psalm for a waned world: Nothing really matters, anyone can see.

Nothing really matters …

Nothing really matters to me.

(Any way the wind blows.)

EnvironmentTip Keep plastic bags out of regular recycling

Lots of people have good intentions when they throw their plastic bags into their regular recycling bin or bundle up a group of recyclables in a bag to toss in a recycling dumpster. The problem with that is plastic bags don’t play nice with

machinery. The bags get wrapped around the cogs of the sorting machinery, which means workers have to cut away the plastic bags multiple times a day. Since time is money, it ultimately costs tens of thousands of dollars over time while the machines aren’t running and processing recyclables as they

should. Plus, the bags don’t get recycled.

So the message recycling facilities are hoping to get out: Please don’t include your plastic bags with the rest of your single-stream recycling.

But just because you shouldn’t toss your plastic bags in curbside

with your paper and metal doesn’t mean they aren’t recyclable – it’s just a separate process. Jewel and Target have receptacles for collection. Check out www.earth911.com to learn more.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Move over Friendsgiving. Galentine’s Day is on the way.

Designating Feb. 13 for the ladies has endured since 2010, when Amy Poehler’s “Parks and Recreation” character, Leslie Knope, declared the fictional holiday her favorite day of the year on the NBC show: “Ladies celebrating ladies,” Knope explained of her Galentine’s breakfast bash with friends. “It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”

Since, women in real life have embraced the idea of gathering when Valentine’s Day rolls around. This year, some particularly are fired up, fresh off pink pussyhatted women’s marches the day after President Donald Trump was inaugurated.

Galentine’s Day isn’t just for Feb. 13, and it isn’t just for dateless, single ladies. Jessica Gottlieb and Stefanie Pollard live in Los Angeles and will celebrate with a brunch for gal friends Feb. 12, a Sunday.

“We’re a couple of married ladies who really do love our husbands but plan on celebrating Galentine’s Day. Why? Because that march wasn’t just about being against Trump or for reproductive health. It was about women cherishing each other and our strengths and knowing that we need one another for physical health, emotional stability and career success,” said Gottlieb, who marched in her hometown.

Kaila Fiske in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is multitasking this year, celebrating Feb. 14 with her partner but reserving Feb. 17, a Friday, for dinner and a mass ladies night with 11 girlfriends to see “Fifty Shades Darker.”

“Most of us are in relationships and we want an excuse to get together, just the ladies,” she explained. “We want to celebrate ourselves.”

Every Feb. 14 is extra special for Lauren Stiffelman in New York. It’s her birthday. She’ll be 28 this year and will celebrate at a Sunday brunch with about 15 girlfriends. On the 14th, it’ll be dinner with a small group of ladies at a Mexican restaurant on the Lower East Side.

“I try to pick a place that I can go to with my girls that won’t feel romantic,

“We’re a couple of married ladies who really do love our husbands but plan on celebrating Galentine’s Day. Why? Because that march wasn’t just about being against Trump or for reproductive health. It was about women cherishing each other and our strengths and knowing that we need one another for physical health, emotional stability and career success.”

Jessica Gottlieb of Los Angeles

They didn’t. About 20 participated last year.

It’s mom Alexandra Jamieson’s first Galentine’s Day. She’s setting aside Feb. 13 to host 12 women for a “bad art party” in her Brooklyn apartment.

“We’ll tap into our inner child and just get creative and messy,” she said.

“I’m not single, but my female friendships are so important to me. I believe Galentine’s Day should be mandatory for all of us!”

Galentine’s Day has been an annual event for Rosie Brown in Campbell, California, since 2015. She and a group of girlfriends made glass terrariums one year and took a cooking lesson the AP photo other.

This May 1, 2015, photo provided by Connie Collins shows a group of friends posing for a “It’s a special way of honoring our photo on Galentine’s Day as they celebrated by making terrariums, along with participat- friendships and making everyone feel ing in a potluck at the home of Macie Skipwith in San Jose, Calif. loved,” Brown said.

News anchor, comedian to discuss careers Speakers join Artful Women series

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Patti Vasquez has been told women can’t be funny.

She’s two decades into a career that proves otherwise.

The host of “The Patti Vasquez Show” on WGN Radio and an internationally performing stand-up comedian will join radio and television news anchor and reporter at WGN Radio and WGN-TV, Andrea Darlas, for “Women in Broadcasting and Comedy.” Part of an Artful Women series hosted by the Raue Center for the Arts, the event will take place at 3 p.m. Feb. 19 at the center, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake.

Tickets are $15 at www.rauecenter.org or via the box office at 815-356-9212.

Designed to enrich, inspire, educate and entertain, Artful Women hosts speakers of all walks of life with a passion for the arts.

“We’re going to talk a little bit about our careers and how I ended up in radio and the path that got me there. That’s something I’ve been very fortunate to slide into,” said Vasquez, who’s never before shared a stage with Darlas, the morning news anchor and co-host of the Steve Cochran show on WGN Radio, a weekend reporter on WGN-TV and a contributor to the nationally syndicated TV show “House Smarts.”

Both women’s résumés are filled with accolades.

While Darlas has earned a multitude of awards for anchoring, reporting, breaking news coverage and investigative series reports, Vasquez’ path to broadcasting came through stand-up comedy.

In graduate school studying for a doctorate in history at age 21, she said she was “not really digging it.”

“All of a sudden, I really was inspired by seeing [stand-up comedian] Margaret Cho. That was early in her career. I’d never seen a woman talking about her ethnicity and growing up in an immigrant family,” she said. “I thought, ‘Wait a minute, I kind of have an interesting story, too.’ ” During an open mic night in a back room at a pool hall, Vasquez took to the stage to perform a standup routine, inviting all of her graduate school friends.

Her material was auto-biographical. She talked about being Irish Mexican, “which I still do, because I still am,” and working in retail.

“Sometimes. people get angry, particularly in this political season. I like being that voice when people get into bed or are driving. There’s that opportunity to stretch out and have a real conversation.”

Patti Vasquez

Stand-up comedian “I think I closed on a story with my mom,” she said. “My mom has always been part of my material. We’re very close, and she’s always had an impact on m life.”

She soon found herself invited to morning television talk shows, including the nationally syndicated “The Bob & Tom Show” out of Indianapolis, “basically like ‘The Tonight Show’ of radio,” she said.

WGN’s Cochran also made her a regular. Having a child with special needs about the same age as Jenny McCarthy’s child, she did a piece about McCarthy. Vasquez said she had heard McCarthy say “some moms enjoy being victims” and people feeling sorry for them.

“How dare she go after moms who are trying to hold it together,” Vasquez said of the inspiration behind her piece. It drew attention and eventually her own show, she said.

She since has created a company called “With Kind Words,” in which she provides consultation for health care providers, urging them to incorporate compassionate communication into their practices.

When her son, Declan, now 10, was born, she was told, “I don’t know if he’ll ever talk or walk past a 2-year-old.” Declan was born with a neurological abnormality called Corpus Callolsum Disorder.

“The most important thing parents need to feel like is there’s a plan,” she said.

As for radio, Vasquez continues to see her role as one of opening up conversation between people of all political, social and economical status.

“Sometimes, people get angry, particularly in this political season,” she said. “I like being that voice when people get into bed or are driving. There’s that opportunity to stretch out and have a real conversation.”

ARTFUL WOMEN – ANDREA DARLAS AND PATTI VASQUEZ WHEN: 3 p.m. Feb. 19 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Award-winning radio and TV news anchor/reporter at WGN Radio and WGN TV, Andrea Darlas, and stand-up comedian and co-creator of the upcoming series “Patti Happens,” Patti Vasquez (host of “The Patti Vasquez Show” on Chicago’s WGN Radio) sit down to talk with us about women in the fields of broadcasting and comedy. Tickets: $15. Tickets and information: 815-356-9212 or www.rauecenter.org.

NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Teenager Henry Fish witnessed firsthand some of the most celebrated battles of the Civil War from the decks of two Union ships accompanied by his ever-present snare drum.

The Woodstock man served from 1861 to 1865, first aboard the USS Great Western and then the USS Carondelet.

The Carondelet, named after the Missouri town where it was built, spent much of the war patrolling rivers. The ironclad gunboat participated in the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. On July 15, 1862, she was heavily damaged in battle with the CSS Arkansas and transferred to the Navy. After repairs, she participated in the pivotal Battle of Vicksburg.

The Great Western, a sidewheel steamer built in Cincinnati, entered the service of the Union Navy in September 1862. The ammunition ship operated on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, occasionally firing on Confederate batteries.

After Fish’s death in 1934, the drum passed to his daughter, Annabelle. She then gifted it to her neighbor, Mary Foote. Foote donated it to the McHenry County Historical Society in 1980

along with a pair of homemade drumsticks. But the 17-inch-diameter drum has some “battle scars.” Both calfskin drumheads have large tears and must be replaced. Also the snare wires have become detached over time.

Toward that end, the historical society has launched an Adopt An Artifact program. For $700, an individual or organization can “adopt” the Civil War snare and help in reversing the ravages of time. The tax-deductible donation will support the restoration and storage of an artifact of your choosing, and preserve its historical significance. Benefits include: • A personalized adoption packet that includes a certificate of adoption, a photograph of the artifact and a description of its historical significance.

• The adopted artifact will be on exhibit for one year together with signage recognizing your donation.

• Society membership for one year, good for free museum admission and access to reduced program fees and a museum store discount • Acknowledgment in our next Tracer magazine as a member of our Adopt An Artifact program.

Other adoption options include: • Victorian Parlor Settee. This circa 1895 parlor settee is bottoming out and

needs repair. $225.

• 1908 Standard Atlas of McHenry County. This complete atlas of McHen-

ry County is the only 1908 version that still bares its original engraved cover in the Society’s Research Library.

Once rebound, while preserving the original cover, it will be available in our research library to be utilized by researchers and genealogists. $350.

• Franklinville Methodist Church Bible.

Mary Sanford presented this Bible to the Seneca Township church in 1890.

It needs rebinding, while preserving the original cover. Nearly 40 pages need to be reattached to the spine. $700 • Buddy Lee Doll. This American composition doll appeared in store window displays advertising H. D. Lee Company’s overalls and work gear from 1920 through 1948. The museum’s Buddy Lee doll needs repairs to its head and feet, a touch-up on the nose and eyes and an overall cleaning. $150 • African-American Baby Doll. This baby girl doll is an unmarked American composition doll from the 1920s through 1940s. She is in need of a repair on her head, neck and left leg, as well as an overall cleaning. $150 For information about these artifacts, call 815-923-2267 or visit www. gothistory.org.

Grace and Marion Messman, of McHenry, have been married for 70 years. After being pen pals during World War II, they met in person and married Oct. 5, 1946 (below). They are parents to five children, three of whom live in northern Illinois.

70 years strong McHenry couple credit love, hard work for lasting marriage

By JAMI KUNZER • jkunzer@shawmedia.com

A

t age 93, Marion Messman will tell you he has no grand advice.

Celebrating 70 years of marriage with his 88-year-old wife, Grace, he’ll say they’ve simply lived, loved. They’ve worked hard through the years, been lucky.

Nothing special, the couple will say as they relax in their McHenry living room.

Then they’ll look at one another, smile and talk of that life they’ve worked so hard at, and their words hold more meaning than they realize.

See MESSMAN, page 7

We just worked hard, cared about each other and loved our kids.

Everybody has money problems and physical problems and all kinds of things.

You work through them.”

– Grace Messman, married to Marion Messman for 70 years

Continued from page 6 Marion might not remember everything, but he remembers clearly the day they met.

“It was the third of January,” he begins.

“My sister turned to me and said, ‘If I wasn’t married, I’d give you a run for your money,’ ” Grace remembered.

What did Grace think?

“I thought that was the best looking guy I ever saw,” she remembered.

••• Theirs was a meeting born of chance, perhaps fate.

Grace was a sophomore in high school in McHenry when her English teacher handed out the names of servicemen. She told her students to write letters.

The name Grace received was Marion Messman, a Woodstock native serving as a combat engineer in the U.S. Army during World War II. “I didn’t know if it was a he or she,” she said.

She wrote, probably something about school or her friends, she says, never expecting much out of it.

“I just looked at it,” Marion remembered of receiving the letter. “I said I don’t know her, but I’ll answer it.”

He, too, didn’t expect much.

Yet, the letters kept coming, back and forth for two years until Marion came back home to Woodstock in 1946.

He set out to visit his pen pal on that Jan. 3 day.

“I was surprised when he came over,” Grace said. “I thought ‘Oh, I’ll probably never see him.’ ” “She was nice looking,” Marion added. “I figured I’d just spend some time with her.”

Months later, on Oct. 5 of 1946 – Marion’s 23rd birthday – they were married.

Grace was 18 at the time, only able to marry that young, she says, because “my mother really liked him.”

•••

And that’s pretty much the story, the couple will say, as they talk of loving one another through seven decades – through building their own house on Clay Street in Woodstock, through raising six children in that house, through countless family road trips, through losing one of those children, through nine grandchildren and a couple of great-grandchildren.

Through some rough, but pretty good times.

“We just worked hard, cared about each other and loved our kids,” Grace said. “Everybody has money problems and physical problems and all kinds of things. You work through them.”

The couple might not think they have sage words of advice, but their actions have spoken, said their son Jerry, their oldest. Along with Jerry, the couple had Ed, Steve, Peter and Beth. Their son Brian died several years ago in a car accident.

“I know there were difficult times, and it was probably hard work at times, but I know that they still both enjoy being with each other,” said Ed, who, along with Jerry, owns the condo their parents have lived in for the past seven years. The brothers both live in Arizona.

Jerry remembers a picture of his father shoveling the foundation of that Woodstock home on Clay Street. It’s a home Marion built with his own hands – and the help of some of his brothers – in between working a couple of factory jobs at a time to support his family. Some days, he’d work from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., head to another job at 4 p.m., come home for supper and return to work for a couple more hours.

Three young children in tow at the time, Grace even helped finish that three-bedroom home, laying shingles on the roof. If Marion was layed off, she’d find work. As the children got older, she took a job in the cafeteria at Olson Elementary School in Woodstock, a job she held for 17 years.

“We worked, never got rich, but we worked,” Grace said, looking to her husband.

“We kept our heads above water,” Marion added.

Simply put, they did what needed to be done every day. They did more than that, Jerry said.

Marion Messman kisses his wife’s hand at their McHenry home Feb. 5.

“They were an inspiration,” he said. “They continue to be.”

His parents taught him, “You work at it. Not everything goes well, but the bond is there, and you just keep working through it. It was pure leading by example.”

Divorce wasn’t even thought of back then.

It was a different era. And, besides, the Messmans were too busy. They visited family, hung out with friends, heading regularly through the years to the Woodstock VFW, where they recently celebrated that 70th anniversary.

If they’d had more money, they might have traveled more, they say. But they often piled the kids in the car for road trips cross-country. They had good friends, good kids, they say, all they needed.

And they had each other. Still do.

“He’s just a good guy,” Grace said. “I don’t know what I’d do without him.”

Lose the cost, keep the love Retailers love to sell love. Each year, they spend millions making sure we crave five-course dinners, pricey flower bouquets and sparkly stud earrings.

And it’s working. Americans shell out more than $13 billion annually for Valentine’s Day. But if you can’t afford this expensive version of romance, make a realistic plan for your money. And if that means you need to scale back, go ahead. Here are five Valentine’s Day traditions you can easily ditch without any love lost.

A kiss is just a kiss, unless it’s the very first one

By LEANNE ITALIE

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – A kiss is just a kiss, but as time goes by, the first one can be everlasting.

“I can tell you the exact date,” declared stylist and fashion designer Nicole Grays Owens of Atlanta. “It was Aug. 16, 1985, three days after my sweet 16th. He was my first true love and I his.”

We all have a first-kiss story, from the playground, park or basement, most likely. But do we all know what happened to the people with whom we shared that delicate snip of time? Do we care?

Writer Rachel Vail of Manhattan may not have been in capital L-love with the first boy she kissed, but they WERE a thing, elementary school style.

She was a fifth-grade Kim to his sixth-grade Hugo in their suburban New York school’s production of “Bye Bye Birdie.” There was supposed to be a kiss between the two in the play. This being elementary school, there was not.

Then came curtain call opening night.

“We met at center stage. He had a bouquet of flowers and he leaned forward and kissed me in front of a packed auditorium, in front of our parents and teachers and everybody else,” Vail recalled. “It was a sweet, chaste kiss, but I wiped it right off my mouth. My dad filmed the whole thing.”

Vail, 50, has worked a few memorable kisses into some of the more than 30 books she has written for young people. In real life, there was a big twist to her first.

Though it left her a “little shaken,” she took her spot at the end of the stage as planned during bows. And that put her next to the boy who played her father. And it was he, years later, who became her husband. They’ve been married 24 years come spring.

“More than sex, that idea of kissing, connecting with somebody, it can be very innocent, and it can be so very powerful,” Vail said. “It’s that first thought of yourself as a romantic and eventually

a sexual being. First kisses can knock you down and make you feel so different about yourself and about the world.”

Owens, 47, feels the same. She and her first beau, back in Los Angeles where she grew up, courted over scoops of mint chip at the ice cream shop where he worked.

“It was awkward, tentative at first, then it morphed into everything I’d seen in a movie or on television,” she said. “It was passionate, romantic and seemed to go on forever. Maybe passionate is too heady a word for two virginal teenagers, but it felt like passion to me.”

The two drifted after high school, but she doesn’t have to wonder what became of him.

Through social media she has learned he’s the married father of four, a police officer in a small California town. She keeps her distance out of respect.

Dana Marlowe, 40, reconnected with her first kisser, 25 years after the act.

She’s a federal agency IT consultant in suburban Washington, D.C., and new software to access a payment portal included the security question: “What is the name of your first kiss?”

Marlowe treated her assistant to the story behind the answer since she’s the one who had to input the name.

The scene: A summer camp in Pennsylvania one hot July night in 1989, near the tree line. Marlowe was 12. Adam was 13.

Marlowe was so tickled by the crush reminder she tracked him down on Facebook and privately messaged him his new security role in her life.

“He wrote back within seconds, and we wound up chatting,” she said. “He said, ‘If you think that’s funny, I’ve got a story for YOU, Dana.’ ” Adam is Adam Goldberg, a Hollywood writer and producer. At the time they reconnected, he was pitching a TV series based on his 1980s childhood, “The Goldbergs,” which was picked up by ABC and includes a noteworthy young kiss and the pursuit of same in a story line involving a character, whose name he left as Dana.

Restaurants are notorious for beefing up their prices around Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. They know people don’t want to cook and clean on days meant for pampering, but that doesn’t mean the only alternative is an overpriced outing. Forget tradition.

Surprise your sweetie during the week, when lines aren’t as long and menus are normal. Then, when everyone else is scrambling to get a reservation and find a babysitter, you can relax, order a pizza and snuggle up on the couch.

2. Delivery Roses

Love isn’t limited to red roses. Believe it or not, other flowers (in other colors) can show love too. Think twice before you automatically preorder those $100 long-stemmed roses. If she’s a stickler for bouquets, why not grab some beautiful white blooms and a single red rose to place in the bunch? If she doesn’t care for flowers, how about a nice succulent in a lovely pot, or a dozen red and pink balloons? Just make sure it’s something she’d actually appreciate.

3. Boxed Chocolates

Buy chocolate, please. But think outside the marked-up, heart-shaped box. For a fun spin, whip up some homemade goodies. Just head to the store and grab a few high-quality chocolate bars, some fruit and a bag of pretzels. Melt the chocolate and get to dipping.

Or if that’s too much work, reach for some chocolate chip cookie dough and a can of icing. Bake a giant cookie and decorate to your heart’s content.

4. Diamond Jewelry

Unless your wedding anniversary falls on Valentine’s Day, forget the overpriced bling. Jewelry is a great gift, but you don’t have to buy her a diamond to say “I love you.” Scroll through websites such as Etsy for one-of-a-kind gifts at a great price. Or, if your honey already has heirloom rings or earrings, sneak them to a reputable jeweler for a quick cleaning and repair.

Your thoughtfulness will warm her heart much more than generic jewelry.

5. Store-Bought Greeting Cards

While this isn’t a huge expense, it’s definitely a lucrative one for retailers. That’s because Americans buy more than 180 million Valentine’s Day cards each year. But remember, there are ways to skip the cheesy, pre-made cards altogether. Get your kids involved, or design and make the card yourself. It doesn’t have to be a work of art. Chances are the more unique it is, the more your significant other will appreciate it.

This method involves cutting shapes out of sheets of craft foam and gluing them onto wooden blocks. I didn’t have any blocks, so I used a sturdy sheet of corrugated plastic instead. And while I used scissors to cut out the simple heart shape, I used a craft knife when cutting out the more intricate lettering.

This technique was significantly quicker than the carving rubber technique, and the resulting images stamped more cleanly, without any stray bits of color around the image.

The foam was cheap – less than a dollar for a letter-size sheet – though it likely won’t last as long as the rubber.

Cost: 10; Ease: 9; Results: 8

The Associated Press CONCORD, N.H. – Carving, cutting and squeezing might not sound like the best ways to handle a tender heart, unless you’re making your own heartshaped stamp to decorate Valentine’s Day cards.

Crafting a stamp yourself means you can create whatever image or text you want. Maybe something that combines your name with your beloved’s, or a design that highlights a shared memory or interest? I stuck with fairly simple Valentine’s Day symbols – a heart, hugs and kisses, and the word “love” – but the options are endless.

Sure, it’s easier to just buy a card or print one, but stamps allow greater creativity – you can use metallic ink on dark paper or go for a more rustic look.

If you like the design you created, you can easily make multiple cards for all your friends.

I tried three different approaches. Here’s what I found, with each method rated from 1 to 10, with 10 indicating the least expensive, easiest and best results:

Carving rubber

This technique, spotted on the Blitsy Blog (http://bit. ly/2lcni95), starts with a kit that includes a sheet of rubber and a carving tool with two tips. The kit costs about $10, although it includes enough rubber to make several small stamps, and the carving tool can be re-used.

‘Recovery’ can have many different meanings I have been doing a little research lately because I got to thinking about the term “recovery” and how the longer I’m around, the broader the definition becomes.

From what I can determine, the term originally was used by the 12-step community (AA) to imply someone who was abstinent from alcohol and “working a program.” The term, it seems, was co-opted from our medical friends. The term now seems to include any and all behavioral health issues, from panic attacks to eating disorders, drug problems to gambling addiction, bi-polar disorder to kleptomania. I have no problem with that; let’s have all the recovery we can get.

I think, after all the dust settles, I would say recovery is a state of mind that implies surrender and a commitment to ongoing self-improvement, continued self-awareness, willingness to ask for help and open acknowledg-

ment of the problem. Although these components are common and can be found in lots of places, they are found in a well-packaged and orderly way in the 12 steps, which is why they are so widely used and so effective.

I also have been thinking about how much people want to measure this recovery, and I worry sometimes people who stop drinking and are abstinent but otherwise unchanged are considered by the measurement experts as “recovering,” and those that meet the other less measurable criterion but who have relapsed and returned are considered failures. It gets pretty confusing.

For mental health issues, we might use a level of functioning scale and say recovery means a person who has a debilitating diagnosis is functioning at a level that is now, with treatment and possibly medication, arbitrarily considered “normal.” I’ve met many folks who have had debilitating

depression that no longer suffer from the depth or length of their previous depressive episodes. The same applies to people with many diagnoses learning to live more functional lives, less ruled by their illnesses. The key word with mental health issues is function.

When it comes to addiction, there is a two-stage process that starts with abstinence. There are those, however, who believe some addicts will continue to use but can do so in a less harmful way. This model is called Harm Reduction, and success would be measured in similar fashion to mental health.

Most treatment for addiction, however, is abstinence-based, with the idea that those presenting issues other than the addictive ingestion of substances will subside and even disappear with abstinence and the application of the principles of the program. Those principles are, in part, the very things that define re-

covery; surrender and a commitment to self-improvement, self-awareness, willingness and openness.

I’m assured we can measure abstinence with some certainty, but we would be hard-pressed to measure the principles of recovery. If we only use abstinence as a benchmark, I’m afraid we’re missing the boat. I think to measure recovery from addiction we have to take into consideration all parts of the equation, including both abstinence and function.

Beware when you ask a treatment program for their recovery rate.

Make sure you ask them to define recovery.
