McHENRYD-156 UNION BALKS AT PROPOSAL

The latest contract proposal from the District 156 School Board has upset the McHenry Community High School Teachers Association. The union said the school board is not negotiating in good faith based on the “final proposal,” which calls for a three-year deal. The talks in the past nine months have centered around a two-year deal. For more, see B1.

Voters wanting to do their homework in the weeks before the March 18 primary can hear from the candidates running in seven races.

The League of Women Voters of McHenry County is sponsor-ing a total of four forums for all

contested Republican county government races and the con-tested Democratic primary for the 14th Congressional District.

McHenry County College will host the forums, all of them start-ing at 7 p.m.

The first, set for Monday, high-lights the 14th District primary race between Dennis Anderson and John Hosta. Anderson, of

Gurnee, and Hosta, of Spring Grove, are running for the seat now held by incumbent Republi-can Randy Hultgren of Batavia. The 14th District includes all of McHenry County, except for Al-gonquin Township, which is in the 6th District.

Tuesday evening’s forum, co-sponsored by the Northwest Herald, will feature the hotly-con-

tested sheriff’s primary between former Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Bill Prim and Undersheriff Andy Zinke. Sheriff Keith Nygren is not seeking re-election.

Accusations have flown back and forth in the acrimonious race. Prim accuses the office for which Zinke works of having an “entitlement mentality” and blames it for the political infight-

ing between Nygren and State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi. Zinke al-leges that Prim’s understanding of the office is “naive” and accus-es Prim of being long on political rhetoric and short on ideas.

Mexico’s Sinaloa drug chief arrested

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY – A massive operation that mushroomed through the western Mexican state of Sinaloa last week net-ted the world’s top drug lord, who was captured early Sat-urday by U.S. and Mexican authorities at a condominium in Mazatlan, officials from both countries said.

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guz-man, 56, arrived at the Mexico City airport in the afternoon, looking pudgy, bowed and much like his wanted photos. He was marched by masked marines across a tarmac to a helicopter waiting to whisk him to jail.

Guzman was found with an unidentified woman, said one official not authorized to be quoted by name, adding that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mar-shals Service were “heavily involved” in the capture. No shots were fired.

Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam described an operation that took place be-tween Feb. 13 and 17, presum-ably in Guzman’s home state of Sinaloa, though he didn’t say what city.

Mexican security agencies came upon several houses where Guzman was known to stay, Murillo Karam said, adding that they found tun-nels connecting seven homes and the city’s sewer system, presumably for escape. The doors were reinforced with steel, which delayed entry by law enforcement, presumably allowing Guzman to flee sev-eral attempts at his capture before Saturday.

Murillo Karam didn’t say how authorities traced him to Mazatlan, but said they knew of his whereabouts several

Drug chief’s arrest

The Chi-cago Crime Commission named Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, head of Mexico’s Sinaloa Car-tel, the city’s Public Enemy No. 1 last year because they said his cartel supplies most of the narcotics sold in the city.

The only other person to have the notorious label was Capone. He earned it in 1930, at height of the Prohibi-tion-era gang wars.

Leah Iverson of Cary talks with Onsite Accounting and Tax Services owner Yvonne Cornett (not shown) while looking over her taxes Wednesday in Crystal Lake. Less than 1 percent of taxpayers actually face an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO [email protected]

Underreported income, large deductions and even a simple mathematical error can all draw the prying eyes of the Internal Revenue Ser-vice.

People across McHenry County and the nation in the coming weeks will begin fil-ing their individual income tax returns ahead of the April 15 deadline. But after the paperwork is submitted, the IRS in rare instances will perform audits on indi-viduals with questionable returns.

Records, receipts and doc-umentation are always the

best defenses against the IRS in those situations, accord-ing to area tax professionals.

“It’s the knowledge of what can keep you safe, how you document, and what the IRS expects in your docu-mentation,” said Pixie Reay, owner of ABP Tax Service in Wonder Lake. “Keep all doc-uments related to anything you are going to put on your tax return.”

IRS auditors trained to look for tax fraud audit fewer than 1 percent of returns. But individuals with an inaccu-rate return often face various fines and penalties.

Candidates’ forums coming up

One small column followed by one big March primary

So much political hay to cut before the March 18 primary, and only one column in which to do it.

A gubernatorial race with the future of Illinois at stake. A broke state govern-ment trying to deal with the 800-pound gorilla of a huge tax increase they swore on their mothers’ graves would start going away next year as scheduled.

My next column will run days before Gov. Pat Quinn’s now-delayed budget ad-dress, and as details of it emerge, Quinn will be unwittingly writing my column for me, as well. But until then, I’ll touch on some pre-primary issues.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? Regardless of how you feel about Republican guber-natorial candidate Bruce Rauner, you have to acknowledge that his shaking up the GOP race has made it something it hasn’t been for a long time: Interesting.

It’s been fun watching the Republican establishment pitch a fit over the audac-ity of a usurper to mess up the party’s tried-and-true strategy of nominating insiders because they put in their time and it’s their turn to lose.

By nature, venture capitalists such as Rauner see opportunities and seize them, hence the word “venture.”

As for opportunities? Quinn’s approv-al ratings are dismal, and the Illinois Re-publican Party is utterly dysfunctional.

KEEP THE TIP: Confidential to GOP can-didates cuddling up to unions that want to stop Rauner – if you win the primary, labor will stop returning your calls effec-tive March 19.

DODGING THE ANSWER: The party that controls the Illinois House and Senate with veto-proof supermajorities seems to think it’s up to Republican gubernatori-al candidates to come up with solutions to the state’s budget woes.

When asked last week whether the “temporary” 67 percent income tax hike should be extended, Senate President

John Cullerton instead put the question on governor candidates and fellow Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady. He said the two “presumably” have solutions be-cause they’ve been running for Quinn’s seat since he inherited it from his prede-cessor, Federal Inmate No. 40892-424.

Blaming the Republicans for the state’s budget mess a losing proposition. Yes, the GOP bears equal culpability for spending Illinois into oblivion. But let me be clear – the party with the supermajori-ty owns the solution, or the lack of one.

LOCAL “TEMPORARY” TAXES: At least two McHenry County taxing bodies are asking voters to extend bonds that are scheduled to be retired.

The Huntley Park District wants to borrow $18.75 million to build an aquatic center, and Johnsburg District 12 wants to borrow up to $41 million for building improvements. Tax bills won’t go up, they argue, which sounds better than saying the tax rate won’t decrease with the retirement of the bonds.

Where do people get the crazy idea that once a tax increase is approved, we’re stuck with it forever?

THE 377 BOARD BILLY GOAT: Will the Curse of the McHenry County Mental Health Board defeat another referen-dum?

Kane County voters will decide whether to create a developmental disabilities board, often called a “377 board,” and a corresponding tax in-crease.

It’s the same referendum question that McHenry County voters crushed last April by a 2-to-1 margin. There was more to that defeat than the fact that taxpayers in this county are fed up.

The referendum came smack in the middle of the controversy over the size and spending of the Mental Health Board, which at its peak swelled to more than 50 employees and built a $4 million, 22,000-square-foot expansion that sits more than 60 percent vacant.

For the record, the board is under all-new leadership with reform on its mind. But I’m sure more than one McHenry County voter had nightmares of a 377 board Taj Mahal going up next door to the Mental Health Board’s Taj Mahal.

If Kane County’s referendum fails, I have no doubt that the goings-on with our Mental Health Board will play a role.

MARKETING IS EVERYTHING: Speaking of referendums, a great way to get me to vote “no” is for a pro-referendum group to choose a name or a slogan that insin-uates that I’m an uncaring lout should I not want a tax increase.

Show You Care Kane, I’m talking to you. Ditto for last year’s failed “McHen-ry County Cares” campaign.

I do care. I also don’t want to feed my daughter peanut butter sandwiches for dinner so I can afford my taxes. And McHenry County residents cared when they raised their taxes to create a mental health board, a conservation district, a senior services grant and a county nursing home.

These names and slogans are insult-ing, not catchy. They tell me that yes, I cared before, but if I really, really care, I’ll vote for this tax increase. That earns a “no” vote on general principle.

I’m Kevin Craver, and I approved this message. Now work on your messaging, lest I vote “no” again.

�TODAY’S TALKER


DETROIT – It has come to this: Even some criminals sym-pathize with Detroit’s cops.

Baron Coleman thought he’d heard it all in his 17 years patrolling the streets. But then came the city’s bankruptcy, a 10 percent cut in police sala-ries, followed by support from a most unlikely corner – the bad guys.

“When they saw us take a pay cut they were in shock. We were arresting guys ... and they were like, ‘I can’t believe your city would do you like this.’ ... I say, ‘Thanks for car-ing,’ ” the veteran officer said with a smile. “It’s just funny because I don’t like communi-cating with a person who has just committed a robbery how sad my life is.”

Detroit police officers have long known adversity: They’ve worked in crumbling station houses with busted pipes, driven run-down cars, tangled with balky radios. They’ve navigated darkened streets chasing criminals, breaking up fights, encountering drug dealers who may be carrying AK-47s or wearing their own bulletproof vests.

As Detroit tries to rebound – a plan to emerge from bank-ruptcy was filed Friday – few groups, if any, have been feeling the pain of the city’s financial collapse more than the police. Despite some recent positive changes – a new chief, new cruisers, new plans – there’s worry, frustration and anger among the rank and file. Paychecks have shrunk. Mo-rale is low. Co-workers have fled to more lucrative jobs.

And those who remain face a formidable task: trying to pro-tect a sprawling, often violent city where hidden dangers lurk among tens of thousands of abandoned houses.

Baron Coleman knows it’s hard being a police officer any-where. In these trying times, it may be a lot harder in Detroit. Nearly a generation ago, when Coleman traded a factory job for a badge and crisp blue uni-form, he had certain expecta-

tions: a good salary, great ben-efits and a pension.

The bankruptcy erased all that. The city’s financial fu-ture, like his own, is uncertain.

Although he still enjoys be-ing an officer, Coleman said he never dreamed that as he approached age 50, he’d be working seven days a week – moonlighting in security jobs – to pay for two kids in school and compensate for a $15,000 drop in benefits and wages.

“Right now, the dream of what I came on for has been destroyed,” he said. “I’m wor-ried. Is my pension going to be there? If I get injured, is the city going to cover my family? ... Before I would tell my wife, ‘If I die, I know you’ll be taken care of.’ Now, I tell her, ‘If I die, you’re on your own.’ ”

The plan by Detroit’s emer-gency financial manager to pull the city out of bankrupt-cy would give police and fire retirees at least 90 percent of their pensions after eliminat-ing cost-of-living allowances (other city workers would like-ly get at least 70 percent). But that plan probably faces court challenges and hinges on pro-posed state funding, among other factors.

SPRINGFIELD – An Illi-nois lawmaker is challenging others at the state Capitol to not only talk the talk on small-er government, but also walk the walk.

State Rep. Don Moffitt, a Republican from Gilson, isn’t referring to trimming taxes or bureaucratic layers, but legislators’ waistlines. He’s starting a “fitness caucus” intended to encourage fellow lawmakers, lobbyists or any-one else at the statehouse to eat healthy and exercise.

His campaign will kick off with a weight-loss competi-tion when lawmakers return next week to Springfield, a place more reputed for wining and dining than dieting.

“Losing weight is a deci-

sion. It’s going to take deter-mination,” said Moffitt, who has lost 100 pounds since a doctor told him two years ago he may have to take diabetes medication. “We need to hear from each other what has worked.”

Lawmakers and lobbyists say staying health is a chal-lenge, especially while in ses-sion. Typically, lawmakers are in Springfield three days a week, two of which are often filled with reception dinners. They say it’s not unusual to attend five or six dinners a night.

The choices aren’t always the healthiest either. Among Springfield’s most beloved foods is the Horseshoe – an open-faced dish in which a burger patty is covered with French fries and dripping melted cheese.

Some lawmakers are able to avoid the weight-gain trap, like House Speaker Michael

Madigan, a Chicago Democrat who’s known for eating ap-ples and leaner menu options

at his favorite local Italian restaurant.

State Sen. Pam Althoff, a McHenry Republican, said she has a reputation of en-couraging her colleagues to meet at social events. But so-cializing at 10 or 12 receptions a week can come at a price. Althoff said she gained 45 pounds her first three years in Springfield, an experience she likened to the “freshman 15” – a term for college students who gain weight in their first year.

For the last few years, Al-thoff’s hired a personal train-er.

“When you’re on the floor 10 to 12 hours, you don’t exact-ly eat the best food,” Althoff said.

Moffitt said in addition to the weight-loss competition, he hopes to organize walks

and health programs in collab-oration with other health-ori-ented groups. And fitness cau-cus leaders hope to eventually move their mission beyond colleagues at the Capitol and back to their districts.

State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia said she’s had phys-ical education teachers tell her this is a good example for children. She also hopes to be a role model for minority groups with large rates of obe-sity.

“Even if I could do just a little bit, [helping one child change habits] goes a long way because it’s generational,” the Aurora Democrat said.

Leaders said their other ideas include labeling healthy options in Springfield restau-rant menus and working with the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Illinois state Rep. Donald Moffitt, R-Galesburg, holds up a healthy snack on the House floor Thursday while encouraging fellow lawmak-ers, lobbyists or anyone else who wants to shed some pounds to sign up for the “fitness caucus” at the state Capitol in Springfield.

ROCKFORD – Illinois cit-ies are banding together to form an alliance at the state Capitol, hoping to exert more influence in political action in Springfield.

Industrial cities like Rock-ford, Peoria, Aurora and Dan-ville will lobby for interests more specific to their commu-nities, The Rockford Register Star reported.

“Anytime you go down to Springfield, you’re stronger as a group with an aggregate number of people with may-ors supporting than you are just trying to go down there as your community all alone,” Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis said.

Each of these cities already belongs to the Illinois Munic-ipal League, an organization that focuses on legislative is-sues for communities across

the state. Organizers of the new alliance hope to bring at-tention to 10 to 12 mid-sized Il-linois communities that share common ground, though they may not have the same issues across the board.

“We feel like a lot of the cit-ies that are outside of Chicago need to make sure that we’re not just lumped together ei-ther with the small cities or the biggest city,” said Rock-ford Mayor Larry Morrissey. “We’ve got our own needs that we want to see addressed.”

Morrissey said the cities share similar problems in areas of education, poverty, public housing and environ-mental concerns because they all have backgrounds in in-dustry and manufacturing.

The group hasn’t hired a lobbyist yet, but they say they could eventually represent up to 1 million people.

WASHINGTON – Last summer, when dozens of nu-clear missile officers alleged-ly cheated on exams, test scores were among the lowest of the year, according to Air Force records obtained by The Associated Press. That is the opposite of what might be expected if answers were being shared as widely as offi-cials allege.

Were they inept cheaters?Was there, in fact, no shar-

ing of answers during that

period?Were test questions so dif-

ficult that even the cheating by some failed to produce higher-than-usual scores for the group as a whole?

The Air Force isn’t say-ing. It notes that tests are not identical each month, and thus score “variances can be expected.”

The facts of the tainted testing are still under investi-gation by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. It ranks as the worst such scan-dal in the history of the inter-

continental ballistic missile force and is among a series of security lapses and slip-ups that have plagued the ICBM corps over the past year. The missteps prompted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to launch two probes of the en-tire nuclear force to find root causes for leadership lapses and other problems - steps Hagel deemed necessary to restore public confidence.

Hagel says he believes the nuclear force remains secure and reliable but says “some-thing is wrong.”

The alleged cheating has been described as a symptom of mismanagement by com-manders, who have given too much weight to monthly test scores in determining which launch officers get promot-ed. More broadly, it reflects a degree of turmoil inside a force responsible for 450 nu-clear-tipped Minuteman 3 missiles that stand launch-ready in underground silos in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and Ne-braska.

The alleged cheating was

uncovered in January during an Air Force investigation of illegal drug use. Two officers questioned in that probe hap-pened to be members of the 341st Missile Wing at Malm-strom Air Force Base, Mont., and at least one stands ac-cused of having transmitted test answers to colleagues via text message.

The exam in question, known as a T-1, is given monthly and is meant to test knowledge of classified pro-cedures for targeting and launching the Minuteman 3s,

the nation’s only land-based nuclear missile. Over the course of a year, the tests cov-er different segments of a long list of launch tasks.

In addition to these and other written proficiency tests, missile launch officers undergo classroom instruc-tion and routine training on launch simulators; most do 24-hour shifts “on alert” in underground launch control centers about eight times a month with a team of two of-ficers responsible for 10 mis-siles.

Nuke test scores fell flat during alleged cheating


WASHINGTON – All the buzz at the National Gover-nors Association meeting over legalizing pot, some say, is just smoke.

Nearly three months af-ter Colorado began selling recreational marijuana, the nation’s governors are taking a cautious approach to loos-ening their drug laws despite growing support for legaliza-tion.

Republican and Democrat-ic state chief executives meet-ing in Washington this week-end expressed broad concern for children and public safety should recreational marijua-na use spread. At the same time, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is warning oth-er governors against rushing to follow his lead.

He said he’s spoken to

“half a dozen” governors with questions about his state’s ex-perience, including some who “felt this was a wave” headed to their states.

“When governors have asked me, and several have, I say that we don’t have the facts. We don’t know what the unintended consequences are going to be,” Hickenlooper said. “I urge caution.”

The Democrat continued: “I say, if it was me, I’d wait a couple of years.”

States are watching closely as Colorado and Washington establish themselves as na-tional pioneers after becom-ing the first states to approve recreational marijuana use in 2012. A group is hoping to add Alaska as the third state.

Colorado became the first to allow legal retail sales of recreational marijuana on Jan. 1 and Washington is ex-

pected to launch its market-place soon.

Hickenlooper confirmed that early tax revenue collec-tions on Colorado pot sales have exceeded projections but cautioned that tax reve-nue “is absolutely the wrong reason to even think about legalizing recreational mari-juana.”

Medical marijuana, mean-while, is legal in 20 states and the District of Columbia. Florida voters will decide on a proposed constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana in November.

President Barack Obama’s administration has given states the green light to exper-iment with marijuana regu-lation.

Obama recently generated headlines when he said in an interview that he didn’t think marijuana was more danger-

ous than alcohol “in terms of its impact on the individual consumer.” He said smoking marijuana is “not something I encourage, and I’ve told my daughters I think it’s a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy.”

Recent polling suggests that a majority of Americans support efforts to legalize the drug. The issue cuts across party lines as liberals and lib-ertarian-minded Republicans favor the shift.

But governors gathered in Washington this weekend had a more cautious approach.

“I just had a longstanding belief that legalizing marijua-na would not be in the inter-est of our youth or our peo-ple,” said Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican. “And I’ll maintain my position in opposition to legalization as long as I’m governor.”

Governors: Legalized pot buzz just smoke

Gladys Hirayda Shahian, 42, originally from Guatemala, poses for a photo as she holds pictures of her family at her workplace Feb. 5 in Los Angeles. Shahian has been trying to obtain a green card through her American husband for more than a decade.


LOS ANGELES – The fed-eral government shutdown last year delayed more than 37,000 immigration hearings by months or years for im-migrants already waiting in lengthy lines to plead for asy-lum or green cards.

While the country’s immi-gration courts are now run-ning as usual, immigrants who had hoped to have their cases resolved in October so they could travel abroad to see family or get a job have instead had their lives put on hold. Many had already wait-ed years to get a hearing date in the notoriously backlogged courts, which determine whether immigrants should be deported or allowed to stay in the country.

Now, some hearings have been pushed into later this year, and thousands more have been shelved until 2015 or later, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press.

“This is a big task, and not one that will be accomplished quickly, especially given our current staffing shortage,” Chief Immigration Judge Bri-an O’Leary wrote in an Oct. 17 email to immigration judg-es and court administrators obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. A day earlier, O’Leary wrote in

a separate email to staff that the tally of deferred hearings had surpassed 37,000 and many immigrants probably wouldn’t get their cases heard until at least 2015.

The situation is especially dire for asylum seekers who may have left family behind in dangerous conditions. They cannot apply to bring relatives to the United States unless they win their cases.

For others, the delay means more uncertainty. Gladys Hirayda Shahian said she has been trying to obtain a green card through her Amer-ican husband for more than a decade. After getting turned away at the airport after a trip back to her native Guatemala in the 1990s, Shahian said she crossed the border illegally to reunite with him and filed her residency application.

Since then, the 42-year-old from Encino, Calif., has been unable to take her U.S.-born children to visit family in Guatemala or accept a job outside her home. After wait-ing nearly two years to get an immigration court date in Los Angeles in October, she now has to wait until August be-cause of the shutdown.

“Every time I go to that court, I come out broken, in tears,” said Shahian, who has been married for two decades and helps run her husband’s clothing design business.

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The candidates are Alex Sink, Democrat, and David Jolly, Republican, but Obamacare is on the ballot in a big way in a competitive House race in Florida that offers a preview of the nationwide campaign for Congress this fall.

Republicans and their allies wouldn’t have it any other way as they test the is-sue’s potency, even though their candidate may muddle

the message, and other issues like Social Security may com-mand a bigger role in deciding the winner.

“ S e n i o r s a r e l o s i n g their doctors because of Obamacare... but Alex Sink still supports Obamacare,” read one Republican Party mailer in a congressional dis-trict where voters over age 60 may cast more than half the ballots.

Because of the health care law “300,000 Floridians will lose their current health

plans, $700 billion [was] cut from Medicare for seniors and now nonpartisan govern-ment analysts say Obamacare will cost our economy up to 2.5 million jobs,” says an ad paid for by the National Re-publican Congressional Com-mittee.

“Yet Alex Sink still sup-ports it.”

Sitting in a sparsely fur-nished room in her campaign office, Sink says of Repub-licans, “I guess they believe it will work. That’s their sig-

nature issue in this election cycle.”

Republicans don’t quarrel with that assertion, which makes Sink something of a campaign pioneer – the Dem-ocratic candidate in the first race of 2014 to test her par-ty’s recommended response to Republican assaults on the health care overhaul that President Barack Obama and Democrats pushed through Congress four years ago.

“We can’t go back to let-ting insurance companies

do whatever they want,” she says in a television commer-cial that’s recently aired.

“Instead of repealing the health law, we need to keep what’s right and fix what’s wrong.”

Says the announcer of Jolly, “His plan would even require seniors to pay thou-sands more for prescription drugs.”

No matter the winner, Democrats appear to have little chance to capture the 17 seats needed to win a House

majority in November. Yet this race has drawn nation-al attention also because Obamacare figures promi-nently already in races in the Senate, where enough seats appear competitive nine months before Election Day to give Republicans an opportu-nity at winning control.

The candidates took differ-ent paths to their March 11 matchup to serve out the term of the late Republican Rep. C.W. “Bill” Young, who died last fall.

Early House race tests Obamacare as issue

Former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko (center) address-es the crowd Saturday in central Kiev, Ukraine. Hours after being re-leased from prison, the opposition icon praised the demonstrators killed in violence this week as heroes.


KIEV, Ukraine – In a stun-ning reversal of fortune, Ukrainian opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko left im-prisonment Saturday and spoke to a massive, adoring crowd, while her arch-foe President Viktor Yanu-kovych decamped to eastern Ukraine and vowed he would remain in power.

Protesters took control of the presidential administra-tion building and thousands of curious and contemptu-ous Ukrainians roamed the suddenly open grounds of the lavish compound outside Kiev where Yanukovych was believed to live. Parliament, which he controlled as re-cently as a day earlier but is now emboldened against him, on Saturday called for his removal and for elections on May 25. But Yanukovych said he regards the parliament as now illegitimate and he won’t respect its decisions.

The political crisis in the nation of 46 million, strategi-cally important for Europe, Russia and the United States, has changed with blinding speed repeatedly in the past week. First there were signs that tensions were easing, fol-lowed by horrifying violence and then a deal, signed under Western pressure that aimed to resolve the conflict but left the unity of the country in question.

Tymoshenko, whose dia-dem of blond peasant braids and stirring rhetoric attract-ed world attention in the 2004 Orange Revolution, was both

sad and excited as she spoke to a crowd of about 50,000 on Kiev’s Independence Square, where a sprawling protest tent camp was set up in De-cember. Sitting in a wheel-chair because of a back problem aggravated during imprisonment, her voice cracked and her face was careworn.

But her words were vivid, praising the protesters who were killed this week in clash-es with police that included sniper fire and entreating the living to keep the camp going.

“You are heroes, you are the best thing in Ukraine!” she said of the victims. The Health Ministry on Saturday said the death toll in clashes between protesters and police that included sniper attacks had reached 82.

And she urged the dem-onstrators not to yield their encampment in the square, known in Ukrainian as the Maidan.

“In no case do you have the right to leave the Maidan un-til you have concluded every-thing that you planned to do,” she said.

The crowd was thrilled.“We missed Yulia and her

fire so much,” said demon-strator Yuliya Sulchanik. Minutes after her release, Tymoshenko said she plans to run for president, and Sul-chanik said “Yulia will be the next president – she deserves it.”

Under the agreement signed Friday, Yanukovych faces early elections, but it is unclear when they will hap-pen.

CAIRO – An Egyptian court acquitted six police of-ficers Saturday on charges of killing 83 protesters during the country’s 2011 uprising, something rights activists say could allow toppled auto-crat Hosni Mubarak to walk free on similar charges.

It’s the last case in a string of acquittals for nearly 100 of-ficers charged in the killings of more than 840 demonstra-tors during the 18-day revolt. That’s as Mubarak’s succes-sor, ousted Islamist Presi-dent Mohammed Morsi, finds himself entangled in multiple court cases that carry the death penalty.

“The sequence of events show that Mubarak will most

probably get acquitted,” said human rights lawyer Mohsen el-Bahnasi, who also rep-resents the families of 83 pro-testers killed in Alexandria.

Mubarak and his top se-curity official Habib el-Adly were sentenced to life impris-onment in June 2012 before a court overturned the verdict on appeal. They also face a re-trial with others for failing to stop killings of protesters.

Rights groups say the mil-itary-backed interim govern-ment is trying to scrub the image of the country’s police, notorious for the torture and abuse that sparked the 2011 uprising.

That’s as pro-government media outlets depict an-ti-Mubarak revolutionaries as foreign agents who orches-

trated chaos.Meanwhile, security forc-

es routinely use a new pro-test law to target Morsi sup-porters and others protesting against the interim govern-ment.

A Cairo court Saturday sentenced 15 youth protest-ers to two years in prison and nearly $7,100 fines for pro-testing without a permit in January.

“The whole world knows who killed the protesters and who incited shooting them,” said Ahmed Ezzat, a lawyer who works with the prom-inent Freedom of Thought a n d E x p r e s s i o n g r o u p . “These acquittals strengthen [Mubarak’s] position. ... Now we have the interim authori-ties putting it all on Morsi.”

Guzman faces multiple drug trafficking indictments in the U.S., including one handed up in 2009 by a federal grand jury in Chicago. The in-dictment named Guzman and other members of the cartel in a conspiracy to import and sell large amounts of cocaine and heroin in the United States.

Authorities have not yet said whether Guzman will be extradited to the U.S.

But Jack Riley, head of the Chicago office of the Drug En-

forcement Administration, told the Chicago Sun-Times he believes that Chicago has the strongest argument for getting the case.

His arrest followed the take-down of several top Sinaloa operatives in the past few months and at least 10 mid-lev-el cartel members in the last week. The information leading to Guzman was gleaned from those arrested, said Michael S. Vigil, a former senior DEA official who was briefed on the operation.

The Mexican navy raided the Culiacan house of Guz-man’s ex-wife, Griselda Lopez, earlier this week and found a cache of weapons and a tun-nel in one of the rooms that led to the city’s sewer system,

leading authorities to believe Guzman barely escaped, Vigil said.

As more people were arrest-ed, more homes were raided.

“It became like a nuclear ex-plosion where the mushroom started to expand throughout the city of Culiacan,” Vigil said.

Authorities learned that Guzman fled to nearby Mazat-lan. He was arrested at the Miramar condominiums, a 10-story, pearl-colored build-ing with white balconies over-looking the Pacific and a small pool in front. The building is one of dozens of relatively modest, upper-middle-class developments on the Mazat-lan coastal promenade, with a couple of simple couches in

the lobby and a bare cement staircase leading up to the con-dominiums.

“He got tired of living up in the mountains and not being able to enjoy the comforts of his wealth. He became compla-cent and starting coming into the city of Culiacan and Mazat-lan. That was a fatal error,” said Vigil, adding that Guz-man was arrested with “a few” of his bodyguards nearby.

One American retiree liv-ing in the building, who did not want to give his name, said he has lived there for two years and never heard or saw anything unusual.

Vigil said Mexico may de-cide to extradite Guzman to the U.S. to avoid any possibil-ity that he escapes from pris-

on again, as he did in 2001 in a laundry truck — a feat that fed his larger-than-life persona.

“It would be a massive black eye on the [Mexican] government if he is able to escape again. That’s the only reason they would turn him over,” Vigil said.

Because insiders aided his escape, rumors circulated for years that he was helped and protected by former Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s government, which van-quished some of his top rivals.

In the bilateral assault on organized crime and Mexi-can drug cartels, Sinaloa had not only been relatively un-scathed, but has seen its ene-mies go down at the hands of the government.

Tax Service for more than 20 years, said she has had only two clients subjected to an IRS audit. She recalled one elder-ly client who was audited for large medical expenses.

Reay immediately advised her to collect all the receipts and documents she had relat-ed to the expenses before she sat down with IRS agents.

“If the client knows what documents they need to have to prove what they put on their return, then it doesn’t matter,” Reay said. “It’s a little extra to pull those documents, but to me, that is the best way to pro-tect a client from an audit.”

People who record large contributions, claim large de-ductions, underreport income or establish a questionable reporting pattern on their re-turns commonly trigger IRS audits, said Yvonne Cornett, who owns Onsite Accounting and Tax Services in Crystal Lake and St. Charles.

Self-employed individuals also may face IRS auditors since they tend to make exces-sive business deductions on

their Schedule C forms, she said.

“To avoid a tax audit, stay clear of items that may raise a red flag on your return, such as auto, travel, entertainment expenses and contributions,” Cornett said. “Take only de-ductions that you have re-ceipts. Taxpayers have shown to take excessive deductions for these items.”

Onsite accountant Linda Farris, who has 16 years of tax experience, has found that people who try to file their re-

turns by themselves can em-bellish numbers or inaccurate-ly report a dependent’s Social Security number.

Accuracy is key, she said. The IRS independently ver-ifies information detailed on returns and that’s often how audits start.

“The best thing is to be to-tally honest,” she said. “Don’t try to embellish your deduc-tions because there is a match-ing process. ... The people who falsify information are the ones who are caught.”

‘Stay clear of items that may raise a red flag’

UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. Security Council united for the first time on a resolu-tion on Syria’s humanitarian crisis Saturday, demanding that President Bashar As-sad’s government and the opposition provide immedi-ate access everywhere in the country to deliver aid to mil-lions of people in desperate need.

The fate of the Western and Arab-backed resolution rested with Russia, Syria’s closest ally, and China, an-other supporter.

After two weeks of negoti-ations and a watering-down of the original text, they de-cided to join the rest of the 15-member council in send-ing a strong message, espe-cially to the Assad govern-ment, that food, medicine and other essentials must not be blocked to civilians caught in the three-year conflict.

“Today the council has fi-nally shown that whatever its

political differences over Syr-ia, it was not entirely indif-ferent to the devastating hu-manitarian crisis,” Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said after the vote.

According to the United Nations, 9.3 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance and 6.8 million have fled their homes but re-main in the country.

The resolution does not threaten sanctions – Russia insisted that this reference be dropped from the original text. Instead, it asks Secre-tary-General Ban Ki-moon to report to the council every 30 days on implementation and expresses the council’s inten-tion to take “further steps” if the resolution’s demands ar-en’t fulfilled.

All Security Council res-olutions are legally binding, but what remains to be seen is whether this resolution has an impact on the ground, es-pecially since it doesn’t have real “teeth.”

U.N. humanitarian chief

Valerie Amos expressed hope in a statement that it “will fa-cilitate the delivery of aid to people in desperate need in Syria.”

Calling the resolution a “long overdue” measure “to alleviate the worst humani-tarian crisis of this genera-tion,” U.S. Ambassador Sa-mantha Power said that as hard as it was to win council approval, the harder issue is implementation.

“The world now needs to stand united on behalf of im-plementation so that there are no more broken promis-es, no more delays, no more coupling minor concessions with cruel and shameless attacks on civilians,” Power said.

France’s U.N. Ambassa-dor Gerard Araud said imple-mentation “depends on the goodwill of the Syrian regime and the opposition.”

If the resolution’s de-mands aren’t fulfilled, he said, France will propose “further measures.”

March 3 forum. Crystal Lake City Council member Jeff Thorsen is running against Chief Deputy Treasurer Glenda Miller, and County Board members Mary Mc-Clellan and Nick Provenza-no are running for county clerk. Treasurer Bill LeFew and County Clerk Kather-ine Schultz are not seeking re-election.

The clerk’s race heated up last week after McClel-lan brought up the fact that Provenzano was involved with a 2011 meeting to come up with an alternate post-cen-sus redistricting map that the Illinois Attorney Gen-eral concluded violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act. Provenzano subsequently countered by attacking Mc-Clellan’s attendance record, alleging that she has missed numerous County Board

and committee meetings and missed numerous votes on the budget, tax levy and appointments to boards and commissions.

The league’s last forum will be March 4 and will fea-ture Republican candidates from the four County Board districts with contested pri-maries. Three candidates for two open seats are running in Districts 1, 5 and 6, while four candidates are running in District 3.

One of the questions ex-pected to arise is candidates’ positions on the March refer-endum for voters to decide if the County Board chairman should be popularly elected every four years, rather than chosen by the 24-member board every two years.

The March 4 forum for County Board candidates will be held in the Bersted Lecture Hall, Room A240. The other three forums will be held in the Build-ing B conference center.

League’s last forum set for March 4

Twice a lifesaverTo the Editor:I want to thank the Cary para-

medics, fire department and police department for saving my life twice within one year. I was very seriously ill and my son had to call 911. Their response time was amazing. My son said they were at my home within minutes. It was like they were waiting for me both times.

They are the best, very caring and professional.

Thank all of you for saving my life twice. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them both times.

Thank you.

Supports ZinkeTo the Editor:I have had the opportunity to

meet McHenry County Undersheriff Andy Zinke on several occasions and discuss in great length with him his views of the county, its police department, and his vision for the future. I have found him to be dedicated to this organization and generally concerned about its members and their continued development. As a longtime resident, Zinke cares about the county and the people who reside there. This is important to me as my children and grandchildren live in the city of McHenry, attend the public schools, and are active in the community.

As the past chief of the Des Plaines Police Department, I have worked with Bill Prim for many

years and am familiar with former police department employees who are involved in his campaign. For these reasons, I endorse and sup-port Zinke in the 2014 GOP primary for sheriff.

Good deedsTo the Editor:I want to thank the young lady

and gentleman who came to my rescue at the Shell Station at Keith Avenue and Route 14. I went to fill up my tank, and as I turned I fell flat on my back. They rushed over to pick me up. The gentleman said to get in the car, he would pump the gas. The young lady walked me to the car and checked if I was all right.

When the gentleman finished pumping the gas, he came over to see if I was OK and then wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day.

There are a lot of good people, younger and older, right there to help open the door for me and other people who need help and others just to be nice.

God bless you.

Fresh ideasTo the Editor:On Thursday evening, Feb. 13, a

friend and I attended a motivated, highly energetic meeting of a faction of the McHenry County Republican Party. Probably there were at least 150 people of varying

ages and gender – a really good mix. The faction wants to replace at least four officers of the party’s Central Committee with individu-als with fresh ideas and less-aged attitudes.

The current members they want to replace are Chairman Mike Tryon, Vice Chairman Mark Daniel, Secretary Glenda Miller and Treasurer Fred Wickham; and also Executive Director Geri Davis.

Various candidates for local and statewide office were present and gave presentations of their posi-tions. Tapped to run at the voting meeting that will follow the March 18 primary were Sandra Fay Sal-gado of McHenry for chairwoman; County Board candidate Andrew Gasser of Fox River Grove running as vice chairman; Diane Evertsen of Harvard for secretary; and candi-date Charles Wheeler of McHenry for treasurer.

Others present at the meet-ing were sheriff’s candidate Bill Prim, county clerk candidate Nick Provenzano, treasurer candidate Jeff Thorsen, 63rd House District candidate Steve Redick, state attorney general candidate Paul

Schimpf, state treasurer candi-date Bob Grogan and a number of County Board candidates.

This should prove interesting to follow of the next few weeks.

You think it’s cold?To the Editor:As we all know, it’s been a little

bit chilly around here for the past several weeks. Many times below zero degrees. But let me tell you about cold.

Forty-eight years ago I was work-ing on the Minuteman Missile sites out on the planes of North Dakota. At that time, I was a two-pack-of-cigarettes-a-day smoker. One February morning, I stepped out of a missile site to light up. When I lit up my Zippo, the flame froze. It was so cold the flame stayed frozen for two days!

Talk about a nicotine fit. I was so nervous and shaking that I felt like a sinner at a revival meeting.

And you think it’s cold.

U.S. Senate (Republican):

OberweisIllinois state Sen. Jim Oberweis and Down-

ers Grove businessman Doug Truax square off in the March 18 Republican primary for U.S. Senate, with the winner facing longtime incumbent Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin in November.

Oberweis, of Sugar Grove, owns a success-ful dairy and asset management business. He is making his third run at a U.S. Senate seat. This is the first attempt for Truax, managing partner and co-owner of Veritas Risk Services in Oak Brook.

Oberweis has spent the better part of the past decade running for office. After several consecutive losses, he won a seat in the Illinois Senate in 2012. He said he’s learned from his past campaign mistakes, and is the stronger candidate to take on Durbin in the fall.

A staunch conservative on fiscal and social issues in past campaigns, Oberweis, while still a conservative, seems more willing to work with the other side of the aisle to accomplish goals. As a state lawmaker, he voted with Democrats last year on a pension reform bill that he acknowledged was far from perfect but the best deal the state could get at the time.

Though it will be an uphill battle, Oberweis offers Republicans the best chance in Novem-ber. He is endorsed.

Kathleen Willey is back. For peo-ple who have forgotten, she is the former volunteer aide to President Bill Clinton who claims he sexu-ally harassed her 20 years ago. She wrote a book about it called “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

What, you say you didn’t read it? Neither, it seems, did most of America, which long ago yawned at Bill Clinton’s exploits and Hillary’s apparent enabling of his extramari-tal liaisons.

Willey is telling anyone who will listen that “Hillary Clinton is the real war on women” because of the way she treated her and the other women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment. Remember “bimbo eruptions,” a term coined by Clinton aide Betsey Wright, who was charged with monitoring them and then discrediting accusers?

On WABC’s Aaron Klein radio show (as reported on the conserva-tive website WND.com), Willey said this about Hillary Clinton: “The

point is what this woman is capable of doing to other women while she’s running a campaign basically on women’s issues. ... She singlehand-edly orchestrated every one of the investigations of all these women (who accused her husband of sexual crimes). They’re the people remind-ing us of how sordid this all is.”

Willey vowed to “go back to all the sordid details” if Hillary Clinton runs in 2016.

Is this strategy likely to sway many, if any, female votes? I doubt it. People long ago made their judg-ments on the Clintons and decided his (and her) behavior about infidel-ity was a private matter. Besides, the rules – such as they are – about most matters involving sex, at least for some liberals – are even looser now than they were 20 years ago.

If conservatives and Republicans think resurrecting this old news will bring them electoral victory against Hillary Clinton, should she decide to run, they are mistaken. Dredging up the past may help

them raise money, but it won’t raise Republican votes. In fact, such a strategy could backfire as Mrs. Clinton would again be portrayed as a victim by a sympathetic media. Having forgiven her husband, those mean Republicans want to “assault” her again.

Republicans have a lot of prob-lems, but chief among them is that they are known more for what they are against. They hate President Barack Obama, Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Some Repub-licans don’t even like each other. What and who do they like? What are they for? Where are examples of their policies working – creat-ing jobs, improving lives, lowering deficits and taxes, cutting spending and reducing the size and reach of

government? (Hint: States have the answer, not Washington.)

The number of electoral votes needed to win a presidential elec-tion is 270. Electoral votes for Republican presidential candidates have steadily declined since Ronald Reagan’s impressive 1984 vic-tory over Walter Mondale. In that blowout election, Reagan carried 49 out of the 50 states and received a record 525 electoral votes out of a possible 538. It’s been downhill for Republicans ever since.

Peter Wehner, former deputy director to the president and a se-nior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, writes in Commen-tary magazine: “Out of the last six presidential elections, four have gone to the Democratic nominee, at an average yield of 327 electoral votes to 210 for the Republican. During the preceding two decades, from 1968 to 1988, Republicans won five out of six elections, averaging 417 electoral votes to the Democrats’ 113.”

The country’s changing demo-graphics play a part. “White voters, who traditionally and reliably favor the GOP, have gone from 89 percent of the electorate in 1976 to 72 percent in 2012.”

And the numbers continue to decline for the GOP. Democrats now hold sway over what CNN.com dubbed the “blue wall – the cluster of eastern, Midwest and western states that have traditionally gone Democratic.” These blues states, along with the District of Columbia, total 242 electoral votes.

Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewin-sky, Paula Jones and the rest of those “wronged women” are not the key to electoral success for Republi-cans. Neither is a complete focus on bashing Hillary Clinton.

It might make certain conserva-tive Republicans feel good, but it won’t win them the White House in 2016.

14th Congress (Democrat):

HostaIn Illinois’ 14th Congressional District,

two Democrats are running in the March 18 primary for a chance to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren in November.

The 14th Congressional District includes all of McHenry County with the exception of Algonquin Township, and parts of Kane, Lake, Kendall, DuPage, DeKalb and Will counties.

Dennis Anderson of Gurnee, who is retired after working most recently for the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center at the University of Loyola-Chicago as the assistant director for research support, is making his second run for the post after losing to Hultgren in 2012.

John Hosta of Spring Grove is the owner and president of Elite Quilting Co., a manufacturer of custom bedding for interior designers. This is his first run for Congress.

Hosta says he would work to improve what he called weak U.S. trade policies that have wiped out manufacturing jobs in the U.S. He said he would work with leadership from both parties to improve the Affordable Care Act.

Hosta said there needs to be significant reforms to welfare, food stamps and Medicaid programs to eliminate waste and save tens of billions of dollars. He also says billions of more dollars can be saved by ending or significantly reducing corporate welfare.

We recommend Hosta in the Democratic primary.

Full-day kindergarten for all?District 26 administrators plan to look at building, operating costs

[email protected]

CARY – District 26 is looking into the feasibility of offering full-day kindergarten for all stu-dents.

Currently the district has limited full-day kindergarten, which is comprised of a combi-nation of students with special needs who are mixed with “typ-

ically developing peers” chosen by a lottery system. The pro-gram is at Three Oaks Elemen-tary School.

The district also offers half-day kindergarten for other stu-dents.

Without giving a specific timeline, district administra-tors plan to look at the possible costs of re-opening a building along with the costs of operating

it for an early childhood center.The district has conducted

a survey into the possibility of full-day kindergarten.

Kindergarten and first-grade teachers and parents who regis-tered students for kindergarten during the 2014-15 school year in the district were surveyed. The district found that there was overwhelming support for a full-day kindergarten program.

The district estimates there would be $181,600 in staffing and material costs to have full-day kindergarten for every stu-dent.

District administrators esti-mate they would need at least three additional classrooms for a full-day program to be offered to all students.

McHENRY – The latest contract proposal from the District 156 School Board has the teachers’ union upset.

The McHenry Commu-nity High School Teachers Association said the school board is not negotiating in good faith based on a pro-posal that was posted on the district website Friday.

The school board’s “final proposal” calls for a three-year deal instead of a two-

year deal, which the last nine months of negotiations have been framed around. The proposal also attempts to move away from the tra-ditional salary schedule approach for teacher com-

pensation based on years of experience.

Under the salary propos-al from the board, teachers for the 2013-14 school year would receive a 3.6 percent average step increase on the

experience scale.For the 2014-15 school

year, teachers would receive half-a-step increase plus 75 percent of the increase in the consumer price index for a total average increase of 2.925 percent.

For the 2015-16 school year there would be no “vertical movement” for experience on the salary schedule and all teachers would receive a 2.925 per-cent increase.

One incumbent and two challengers – one of whom is famous for his legal duels with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office – are running for two open seats in County Board District 5.

Incumbent John Jung is running against Michael Rein, who barely lost his 2012 elec-tion bid; and Zane Seipler, a former deputy sheriff who was fired, won his job back in court, but was fired again for lying under oath in his lawsuit against outgoing Sheriff Keith Nygren.

District 5 cov-ers all of Dorr Township and central Grafton Township, in-cluding most of Woodstock and parts of Bull Val-ley, Lakewood, Lake in the Hills a n d H u n t l e y . The two winners will run in No-vember against Democratic in-cumbent Paula Yensen of Lake in the Hills.

T h e t h r e e candidates, all from Woodstock, cited different top priorities to the Northwest Herald Editorial Board if elected. Rein, a chiro-practor, cited tax relief and improving the local economy.

“Taxes in our county are ranked in the top 25 ... in the na-tion. This to me does not trans-late to an effective and efficient government,” Rein said.

Seipler, a Navy veteran, said he wants to improve trans-parency and accountability in county government, which he alleges is sorely lacking today.

“There is much that can be done to make McHenry County government open and accessi-ble to those that desire and de-serve accountable, honest gov-ernment,” Seipler said.

Jung, who owns an onion packaging and distribution business, said he wants to see the new Unified Development Ordinance and stormwater or-dinances implemented, and as chairman of its legislative com-mittee wants to push for more state and federal funding to im-prove infrastructure. He also wants to prioritize initiatives that foster sustainable econom-ic growth.

“My experience as a busi-ness owner provides me with a strong understanding of the importance of sound fiscal pol-icies and responsibility. It has

OUR FLAGArea Girl Scouts learn about American flag and its past

[email protected]

CRYSTAL LAKE – It is not un-usual for the American flag to hang in the gymnasium at Hannah Beard-sley Middle School in Crystal Lake; however, on Saturday afternoon, 27 stood on display. To the surprise of McHenry County Girl Scouts, those 27 flags were all at one time or an-other, the official flag of the United States of America.

Fourth-grader Emma Cox of Troop 180 was among the attendees who was impressed by the large number.

“I was like, ‘Wow, there’s so many flags,’ ” Emma said.

TEACHER UNION, SCHOOL BOARD NEGOTIATIONSMcHENRY COUNTY: BOWL FOR KIDS’ SAKE EVENT

BBBS looking for bowlers for fundraiserBy JIM DALLKE

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County is looking for participants for its annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake event be-ginning next month.

Bowl For Kids’ Sake, the organizations signature fund-raising event, begins March 6 and continues through March 29. Bowlers can register as an individual or as a team at www.bbbsmchenry.org/bowl or by calling the office at 815-385-3855.

Teams consist of four to six bowlers, and each participant is asked to raise at least $75. The money will go toward two hours of bowling, shoe rental, pizza, nonalcoholic beverages and a T-shirt.

The money also goes to-ward funding the organiza-tion’s Big and Little relation-ships, which pair children, often from single-parent homes, with mentors.

It costs about $1,000 to fund a Big and Little for a year, said Sara Hammuck, direc-tor of fund development for Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County.

“It’s a great event for the community,” Hammuck said. “We’re asking people in the

community to support us be-cause it is one of our biggest events of the year.”

Last year about 900 people

took part in the fundraiser, which, along with other spon-sors, raised about $120,000, Hammuck said.

“We would love to exceed 900 bowers this year,” she said.

The Big Brothers Big Sis-ters of McHenry County matched 576 kids with men-tors last year. The organiza-tion’s goal is to serve 1,000 kids annually, Hammuck said.

Bowling takes place at Crystal Bowl in Crystal Lake.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Board President Mike Domek guides his son Matthew in bowling during a Bowl for Kids’ Sake event last year at Crystal Bowl. This is a Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County an-nual fundraiser to help children who face adversity.

Marengo D-154 prepares contract talks

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

MARENGO – District 154 and its teachers union will soon meet at the bargaining table to negotiate a new con-tract with the current, three-year deal set to expire in Au-gust.

District board members recently met in a closed ses-sion to lay the groundwork for negotiations. Formal con-tract talks between the board and representatives from the Marengo Education Associ-

ation should start later this spring, Superintendent Dan Bertrand said.

“They will do it sometime this spring,” Bertrand said. “Typically, we are done ne-gotiating by the first week in June. Hopefully, that’s the case again this year.”

B o a r d m e m b e r s a n d teachers from the Marengo Education Association usu-ally have agreed upon con-tract terms during the sum-mertime in each of the past four contracts, Bertrand said.

The current contract went into effect Aug. 15, 2011, and expires Aug. 14. It included a 1.6 percent salary raise for teachers in the 2012-13 school year and 0.6 percent salary

raise this school year.Overall, the contract cre-

ated about $533,000 in new spending for the district, ac-cording to the terms listed in the agreement.

About 45 certified teach-ers currently work at the high school-only district in Marengo and nearly 770 stu-dents attend District 154, the Illinois Interactive Report Card states.

Since negotiations for a new contract are just start-ing, district board members are yet to appoint lead nego-tiators to meet with union members, Bertrand said.

Representatives from the Marengo Education Associ-ation did not return calls for comment.

Agreement expected by late spring before current contract expires Aug. 14

also taught me to make tough decisions – decisions that are based on the long-term result, not the immediacy of short-term success,” Jung said.

All three candidates agreed that the County Board should continue the practice of keeping its tax levy frozen, and rejecting the automatic inflationary increase that taxing bodies are entitled to under the tax cap.

“Given the current eco-nomic times, the county should take the lead in stabi-lizing the tax burden of its cit-izens,” Jung said. “Through good stewardship, the county has been able to keep the levy flat while still providing ser-

vices to its residents.”All three candidates op-

pose the referendum on the ballot to make the County Board chairmanship directly elected by the voters, rather than chosen from among the 24-member board every two years. Jung and Rein said di-rect election will open up the chairmanship to special in-terests because of the money needed to win.

“If the referendum were to pass, the chairmanship

would revert to a four-year term, and as is the result in many elections, the candi-date with the most signs and campaign fliers will hold the office,” Seipler said.

But they differed when asked whether the County Board kept an adequate eye on the Mental Health Board, which has undergone sig-nificant changes under fi-nancial pressure and after coming under fire for its size and spending. Jung stressed that the County Board’s sole power over the agency is the appointment of its board, and said he helped align the agen-cy’s personnel policies with those of county government.

But Rein and Seipler al-leged that the County Board could have done more. Seipler alleged that the County Board

for years turned a blind eye because of “cronysim and personal relationships.” Rein cited a lack of oversight, and chided the County Board for allowing the Mental Health Board to borrow $4 million to build a huge expansion that now sits mostly vacant.

“Funding a very large brick and mortar building instead of using that money to help those people that need it was not the answer,” Rein said.

Jung was first elected to the County Board in 1994, mi-nus a two-year absence when he lost his 2008 re-election bid. He has served several terms as the board’s vice chairman. He also faces a contested race for precinct committeeman for Dorr Township 11 against attorney Robert Hanlon.

As part of the offer, the dis-trict wants to eliminate two lanes on the salary schedule: master’s degree plus 15 hours of continuing education, and master’s degree plus 45 hours of continuing education. Teach-ers currently in those lanes would be grandfathered in, and other lanes of master’s degree plus 30 hours and master’s de-gree plus 60 hours would still exist for teachers to move in.

Teachers are traditionally paid based on years of experi-ence and how much education they have. Going to a three-year contract opens up other questions and issues, said Bri-an N. Weidner, spokesman for the union. He said the union

has done its research based on a two-year deal.

“Three years opens up new questions that we haven’t con-sidered or investigated in the last nine months,” Weidner said.

Weidner said board mem-bers have stated the uncertain-ty of the economy both locally and nationally, causing them to be conservative in their de-cision making and projections.

“This conversation has changed suddenly,” Weidner said.

Weidner also said the offer moves away from the tradition-al salary schedule structure for teacher compensation.

That “is something that con-cerns us,” Weidner said. “It’s really moving from the step-based system to one that is flat percentages.”

The union’s negotiating team plans to meet Sunday to go over the board’s proposal in further detail. Those dis-cussions could potentially extend to a full membership meeting within the next seven days, Weidner said. The union, which has been working with-out a contract since August, has voted to authorize its nego-tiating team to call for a strike.

Weidner said going on strike is not expected to be part of Sunday’s discussion, and that the union wants to avoid a work stoppage.

“Our desire is to be in the classroom teaching students,” Weidner said.

Weidner said the union is looking for a contract that attracts high-quality young teachers and is able to retain high-quality veteran teachers.

The school board wants to go to a three-year deal because negotiations have gone on so long that under a two-year deal, the union and board would be negotiating again in a year, said School Board President Steve Bellmore.

Bellmore refuted the claim the board was negotiating without good faith.

“We’ve bargained in good faith all along with numerous times we’ve waited for respons-es and have not received it,” Bellmore said.

Bellmore said if the district continued with the traditional steps and lanes as they exist, it would be more expensive for the district.

“We’re trying to move it over to CPI-based raises so we have a better idea of where our money is going,” Bellmore

said. “I value the teachers wholeheartedly, but it boils down to what the district can afford financially.”

The proposal also has lan-guage for teachers who have reached the end of the steps in their lanes and no longer can receive step increases unless they obtain further education.

Under the proposal, teach-ers who receive longevity in-creases, their increases would be 5.2 percent for this school year, 2.25 percent for the sec-ond year of the deal, and 2.5 percent for the last year.

The board also proposed having employees contribute 25 percent toward family health insurance in 2013-14, 27.5 per-cent in 2014-15, and 30 percent for 2015-16. Teachers with indi-vidual coverage would pay 7.5 percent for health insurance

for all three years of the pro-posed deal.

The district would limit tui-tion reimbursement for teach-ers to $225,000 over the life of the deal, with no more than $100,000 used in one year. All teachers would be eligible, but the superintendent would have to approve the courses.

Underlying the negotiations is disagreement over the finan-cial health of the district.

During the last contract ne-gotiations, the union agreed to a pay freeze for a year and a half, increased insurance con-tributions and cuts to coaching and club sponsor stipends to help offset a deficit.

Bellmore said he hopes the district and the union can come to an agreement soon.

“I’m optimistic,” Bellmore said. “We’ll see what happens.”

‘Our desire is to be in the classroom teaching students’

However, based on enroll-ment projections for the next five years, the district would not have the capacity, within the district’s operating build-ings, for full-day kindergarten until 2016-17. Under that sce-nario, however, students who live in the Deer Path area would not be able to attend their home school for kindergarten.

“My own bias certainly is to support full-day kindergar-ten, but I think within our cur-rent building constraints right now, it’s not feasible for next year,” said Jennifer Thomas, director of special services.

However, the district will begin looking at what are the possible capital expenditures for re-opening Oak Knoll and the operational costs, such as the associated heating and electricity costs.

Board member Kevin Car-rick has been an advocate for opening an early childhood center for kindergarten and early childhood programs at Oak Knoll. The school was last used by Trinity Oaks Christian Academy until it moved in 2012 to Prairie Hill School.

He would like to see an anal-ysis of operating the building.

“Trinity Oaks has not been out of it for that long,” Carrick said. “I don’t imagine there’s any large issues with the build-ing.”

Having an early childhood center, as opposed to adding onto schools, allows the dis-trict to be more efficient with staffing. Early childhood stu-dents share a lot of services such as speech and occupa-tional therapy, said Superin-tendent Brian Coleman.

Having all the same staff in the same building would allow for collaboration and profes-sional development, Coleman said. The district also will need to look at its fee structure for kindergarten students.

School board President Ja-son Larry said he likes the idea of full-day kindergarten, but it should not be on the top of the priority list.

“I just think, though, in a list of priorities that this board has had .... the last four years, restoring [special classes] and class sizes we need to reduce, opening a building right now and adding full-day kindergar-ten should not be one of them,” Larry said. “It doesn’t feel right to open a building, spend more money, offer full-day kinder-garten for everybody when we still need to restore [special classes].”

afternoon, which featured a flag ceremony, flag folding demonstration, flag history and flag etiquette.

“It’s interesting and import-ant for the girls to learn about the historical significance of the flag,” said Troop 180 leader Erin Hall of Crystal Lake. “It’s a basic and key part of Girl Scouting and who better to learn from than the experts?”

The mission of the DAR is to promote historic preserva-tion, education and patriotism.

“There isn’t enough taught in the public schools on this matter and we hope to teach young women to have a sense of patriotic pride,” Kishwau-kee Trail Chapter Regent Pa-tricia Holcomb said.

Chairwoman of the event and DAR Honorary Chapter Regent, Catherine Carlton, designed a DAR flag patch

to be awarded to all of the Girl Scouts who attended the demonstration. Carlton said that after 9-11 she wanted to perform a community service that would promote patriotism and education for our country.

“Not everyone knows what the flag signifies,” Carlton said. “It’s not just a piece of material, it’s a symbol of freedom.”

Girl Scout Choctaw Service Unit Manager Elizabeth Moly-neaux said that the mission of the DAR is very similar to the mission of the Girl Scouts.

“Patriotism is a big part of Girl Scouting, and it’s import-ant that the girls have an ap-preciation for the flag and bet-ter understand its meaning,” Molyneaux said.

The Girl Scouts spent 25-minute intervals at each station learning any and all things American flag related.

Attendees also folded pocket flags for deployed military and food items were collected for the Crystal Lake Food Pantry.

RICHMOND – The Woodstock girls basketball team came into the Class 3A Richmond-Burton Region-al with something to prove. They did just that.

After beating top-seeded Marian Central in overtime Wednesday, the fifth-seeded Streaks held off a tough Richmond-Burton team, 43-36, win-ning their first regional title in eight years.

“This means so much to our pro-gram,” Woodstock coach Martin Hammond said. “The girls came into the playoffs with a chip on their shoulder, and knew they were going to win this game today. We were all focused right from the start and I’m so proud of the girls.”

Just because they had knocked off the top seed three days earlier did not mean their job was done, and that definitely was the mindset of the Streaks on Saturday.

“We were happy to beat [Marian Central], but knew it meant nothing if we didn’t win today,” said senior cen-ter Cody Brand, who led Woodstock

with a game-high 10 points. “We have all inspired each other since Day 1 and knew we could win this. Winning this just shows us and everyone that we can do anything if we play togeth-er.”

The Streaks, who never trailed in the game, won the first quarter 15-8, which included an 11-0 run, forcing a timeout from Rockets coach Court-ney Ludois.

“That start really hurt us,” Ludo-is said. “I thought our focus wasn’t there in the first half. We came out and played how we wanted to in the second, but we never could overcome that slow start.”

Richmond-Burton came out of halftime with four straight defen-sive stops on its way to outscoring

LINCOLNSHIRE – McHenry swimmer Kevin Braun tried as best as he could to clear his mind as he stood behind the Lane 3 starting block at Stevenson.

With his cap pulled tight over his head, Braun watched and took sev-eral deep breaths as the swimmers in the four previous heats swam the 50-yard freestyle before the officials whistled Braun and the five other swimmers in his heat to the blocks for the fifth and final heat.

What happened next was a blur to both Braun and those watching.

The sophomore swam the length of the pool and back in 21.81 seconds, beating the state qualifying standard by eight one-hundredths of a second.

“I just tried to only think about what was right in front of me and it worked,”

Braun said with a smile. “It felt so good to make state. It was really awesome.”

The 50 freestyle was Braun’s first individual event of the sectional and, when he looked up at the giant screen behind the starting blocks and saw his time, a calm washed over him.

“I almost felt content just having one of my races make it to state,” he said. “I just knew I was already going to state, so It was great.”

Braun said he felt tight and made mistakes during his race, which he attributed to nerves. But during his second individual race, the 100 free-style, he swam flawlessly. He placed

Underwood wins vault state titleC-G junior redeems herself; co-op finishes as team runner-up

[email protected]

PALATINE – Rachael Underwood missed out on her usual all-around medal from the girls gymnastics state meet, although she did get something new – a state championship.

The Prairie Ridge co-op gymnast, coming off a heartbreaking performance in Friday’s preliminaries, won the vault finals Satur-day at Palatine High School. Underwood, a favorite to win the all-around, qualified only for one finals event, although she made the most of it.

Underwood, a junior at Cary-Grove, scored 9.8 for a narrow victory over Lyons’ Michelle Cozza (9.75). She previously had second-place medals in all-around, bal-ance beam and uneven bars and third-place finishes in all-around and vault.

Prairie Ridge’s co-op team, which draws athletes from Prairie Ridge, Cary-Grove and Crystal Lake Central, improved to 148.85 with Underwood’s score and finished sec-ond in the meet. Defending champion Lyons Township (151.275) had clinched the team title before the finals.

“I feel like I sort of redeemed myself,” Underwood said. “It feels good. I’m really proud.”

Underwood fell on bars and beam and stepped out of bounds in her floor routine Friday, resulting in a 13th-place all-around finish. She sparkled on the vault Saturday, first doing a Yurchenko layout, then coming back with a Yurchenko full.

The vault starts with a roundoff and backward handspring off the vault, then a full flip in layout position. The Yurchenko full adds a full twist with the layout flip. Although it is more difficult, the vaults are scored the same.

Prairie RIdge coach Lee Battaglia had Underwood do the layout first, checked with the judges to see what they would score it, then had Underwood perform the full. Com-petitors receive the score for the better of the two vaults.

R-B’s Sutton, CL Central’s Marsden win [email protected]

C H A M P A I G N – R i c h -mond-Burton’s Garrett Sutton won his second straight state title and Crystal Lake Central’s Andrew Marsden got a first-pe-riod pin in the Class 2A cham-pionship of the individual wres-tling state finals Saturday.

Sutton got a quick take-down in the first period of his 160-pound title match against Washington’s Jacob Warner and looked to be in total control early. After that takedown, War-ner began wrestling defensively and Sutton was only up, 5-3, af-ter two periods.

“I was concerned that he was doing all the work and not scor-ing points,” Rockets coach Bret Wojcik said. “[Warner] was just trying to keep it close and hit a big move at the end.”

Warner got a reversal to start the third to narrow the gap to, 6-5. Sutton said despite the close score he still was confident and went on to win, 11-6, to win the title.

“I was confident the whole time,” Sutton said. “I just had one little slip-up.”

It was emotionally trying for Sutton, who watched his brother Grant lose in the 126 finals. Gavin Sutton also placed third at 113.

“I get a lot more nervous for their matches than my own,” Gar-

rett Sutton said. “It hurt to watch, but I have confidence they will both come out on top next year.”

All state titles are special, but Garrett Sutton said this one had a little more finality to it being a senior.

“This year I feel a lot more conclusive,” Garrett Sutton said. “Two state titles. I’m real proud of myself for that.”

After losing in the Lakes Sec-tional final to Montini’s Anthony Ferraro, Marsden came out ag-gressive in state finals and got a quick takedown and back points. Marsden said even he was a little surprised by his fast start.

SUNDAY’S INSIDE LOOK

Rob Elgas is happy to report that his Olympic experience has been better than many of his media colleagues, some of whom reached Sochi to discover their hotel rooms didn’t have doors or come equipped with hot water. The 1992 Crystal Lake Central gradu-ate has worked 16-hour work days for NBC 5 Chicago, an assignment he puts at the top of his career high-lights. Elgas will host a special broadcast as 9 a.m. Sunday, highlighting Chicago-area Olympic athletes.

We’ve had a great experience and I think very few of our people within NBC have had these horrible hotel experiences you’ve heard of. I have a bathtub, which is better than what I had in Torino (in 2006), I have hot water, it’s clean – I don’t drink it – but it looks clean. I have a bed and heat. So what you’ve seen in social media (on Twitter feeds such as @So-chiProblems) is really a small part of what we’ve experienced here.

It’s been great that there hasn’t been any (terrorist) attack because that’s all we were talking about weeks ago was (the potential for an attack). It hasn’t hap-pened and we were hopeful it wouldn’t because the Olympics are about the athletes, not about Russia. It’s not about the United States. It’s not about (international) relations or terrorism. It’s about these athletes who have worked their butts off to get to this point.

When you meet these families, you realize that these athletes have worked their whole lives to get to this moment. So when you talk to them and you see these Chicago families, these suburban families in the Olympic Park wearing the United States gear and rooting for their loved ones, it’s hard to put into words. As a journalist, it’s a great privilege to be able to see that and see those people. Here we are covering this and you realize these are athletes who may just get one crack at [the Olym-pics] and so when you see that and you hear that coming from their families, it’s pretty special.

(Covering the Olympics) has probably been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I’ve covered the Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup, I’ve covered the Cubs when they almost got to the World Series (in 2003), I’ve covered the Bears in the playoffs. I talked to Patrick Kane the other day and we ask them about representing the United States and I almost think it supercedes [other ac-complishments] because you’re representing your country. When you represent your country, it’s just completely different than a sport within the United States. It becomes something more pow-erful than a game. It becomes about representing the United States of America and that’s something pretty special.

I don’t look at [covering the Olympics] as pressure.My job here for WMAQ was to come here and tell the stories of the Chicago athletes. So I’ve tried to focus on that. Of course, we’ve been deterred by the stray dogs and the way that Russia treats gays. But our goal was simple here and that was to focus on the Chicago athletes and the families who are here. I think we’ve done that. I don’t think it gets any better. I pinch myself because when else would have I gone to Russia – at all – let alone to represent NBC and cover the Olympics? I guess the only thing that would have been better would be to have a Crystal Lake Olympian here.

More than 300 prospects are expected to take part in the NFL

Combine this week in Indianapolis.

Tom Musick discuss: Musick: Sometimes, I wonder

how my life would have turned out differently if I had been asked to do a bench press, a 40-yard dash and a three-cone drill during my first few job interviews.

Styf: I would never have gotten a job if that was the standard. Heck, as I’m looking around the office right now, Paul Wleklinski (1995 Hampshire football state champ) might be the only one who would be working here. I just never could imagine going though that process, as NFL execs poke and prod you like it’s the hog show at the county fair. I get why they do it, with the millions they are about to invest, but it doesn’t make me feel any better about it.

Musick: Paul is a character risk, so I’m guessing that he would be out of luck, just like the rest of us. I know that we flew two reporters to the NFL Combine on our Shaw Me-dia Learjet, but I think the whole event is a lot of emptiness with very little substance. Every year, a few random players emerge as stars of the combine, but what they do in gym shorts has almost nothing to do with how they’ll play in football pads.

Styf: I think they actually drove down there in Kevin Fishbain’s Mitsubishi, but besides that you’re spot on. The player we’ll be watch-ing the closest at the combine is

He had a good career at Iowa, but

since school ended after a nice week at the Senior Bowl. NFL of-fenses are using the tight end more and more in the passing game, but

the mold of a traditional tight end. He’s a big target and he’s an excel-lent blocker, which means teams don’t have to worry about risking their franchise QB if they draft him and play him early. That’s got to be worth something.

Musick: I’ll be rooting for him to run fast, jump high and grunt hard. I think his stock might drop, though, based on the fact he already has lost the Longest Last Name drill. Teams will be drawn to Mas-sachusetts tight end Rob Blanch-flower, who carries 12 letters in his last name opposed to Fiedorowicz’s 11 letters. Even worse? Washington

wowed scouts with two last names, 15 letters and a hyphen.

Styf:will be an NFL QB? I have a hard time imagining he’ll be drafted there.

Musick: Well, apparently Lynch had the smallest hands of any quarterback during the combine’s all-important Hand Measurement

hands, which guarantees he’ll be the next Peyton Manning. But yes, I am pulling for Lynch to follow in Chandler Harnish’s footsteps and become the next great backup to a backup.

Styf:can tell you that.

PR co-op’s accomplishment remarkableTakes 2nd despite 1 star hurt, other subpar in prelims

PALATINE – What Prairie Ridge’s girls gymnastics team ac-complished was remarkable.

Rachael Underwood, one of the state’s best gymnasts, had a subpar performance Friday in the girls gym-nastics state meet preliminaries. The team’s other star, Riley Mahoney, missed the state series with a knee injury.

And yet the Wolves, a co-op team that draws competitors from Prairie Ridge, Cary-Grove and Crystal Lake Central, brought home the

second-place trophy for the second straight year.

It was a testament to the depth about which coach Lee Battaglia has spoken all season.

Prairie Ridge will wonder what could have been had Underwood hit her routines and Mahoney was healthy. Perhaps the Wolves (148.85) could have dethroned defending champ Lyons Township, which again was on top of its game with 151.275.

They also might wonder what might happen a year from now with almost every girl coming back (only senior Sarah Kramer graduates), including Mahoney, a junior who could be one of the top all-around gymnasts in the state.

But mainly they can celebrate what is. Underwood rallied back with an individual state title in vault

Saturday. And there were clutch performances turned in by Kendall Rumford, Dylann Perrone and Jada Berkland on Friday. Rumford was sixth in all-around, Perrone was 10th, Maddie Solka was 11th and Underwood was 13th.

Even with Underwood’s frustrat-ing night, the Wolves finished well ahead of Fremd (146.675) for second place.

“We have one of our highest team scores,” said Underwood, a junior. “I’m really proud of how far we’ve come without Riley. Next year we’ll be stronger and even better.”

Battaglia, who coaches the Prai-rie Ridge girls with his Crystal Lake Gymnastics Training Center team in club, knows it was just one of those meets for Underwood, who usually is as consistent as they come.

“I felt so bad for [Underwood],” Battaglia said. “She held our team to-gether so many times. Jada, Kendall and Dylann put it all together and had the meets of their lives. Ra-chael’s been our leader all year.”

The club season will start soon and Underwood will compete at Level 10, the top level, and thrive. The college recruitment process will intensify for her and for Mahoney.

Mahoney recently underwent sur-gery to tighten ligaments and repair the meniscus in her right knee. She’ll return to the gym soon and work on pull-ups, handstand push-ups and on

the uneven bars, anything that will not require her legs.

She expects to be back ready for full workouts in 4½ months.

“That’s the plan, rehabbing and getting myself better,” Mahoney said. “I’m not looking at next year now, I just want to get on with rehab. I’m so proud of them. They pulled it together and did what they needed to do. I’m proud of each and every one of them for what they did [Friday] night.”

It was remarkable, and next year could be even better.

ROUNDUP

Huntley swimmers finish 7th

By JARED BIRCHFIELD

ST. CHARLES – After a second-place finish in the Fox Valley Conference Invi-tational last week, the Hunt-ley boys swimming team had high hopes of qualifying swim-mers at Saturday’s St. Charles North Sectional for the state meet next week.

The Red Raiders instead took seventh in the meet, which was won by St. Charles East (276), scoring 74 points. They did not advance any swimmers to next week’s state meet.

“Last week, they absolute-ly killed it,” coach George Keenan said. “They were great. Today, they fell a little short and that was because I brought the (practice) yardage down too low.

“They swam hard. This was my first year coaching boys and I think I tapered them too low and I didn’t keep the yard-age up enough and I think they just missed it. We had a few best times and few just misses.”

Junior Bryan Haage turned in the best performances of the day for Huntley.

Haage finished fourth in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 48.22 and fell only 21 hundredths of second short of the state qualifying time of 48.01. Haage set a school re-cord in the event previously set by his brother, Matt.

“I’m not that disappointed,” Haage said about not advancing to the state meet . “I’ve got next next year to look forward to.”

Haage also took sixth place in the 100 backstroke, complet-ing the race in 55.51 seconds.

Although the 200 medley relay team of Ben Cazel, John Cazel, Ryan Czarnecki and Haage shaved a half second off its first-place conference finish, their time of 1:40.47 put them sixth in the sectional and short of the 1:38.27 mark need-ed to go to state.GIRLS BOWLING

State bowling: At The Cherry Bowl in Rockford, Karissa Go-nio of Dundee-Crown finished in 36th place on Day 2 of the state finals. Gonio bowled a two-day total of 2,469, and fell six spots from her 30th-place spot Friday.

She averaged 205.8 for the weekend, and bowled a game-high of 237 on Day 2. Gonio was the only local bowler to ad-vance the state finals this year, and the first in D-C history. BOYS BASKETBALL

Woodstock 63, Grayslake North 52: At Woodstock, the Blue Streaks won for the sec-ond straight day in Fox Valley Conference Fox Division play. Woodstock displayed a bal-anced offense with six players scoring seven or more points. Nick Kubiak led the team with 13 points, and Marcus Ammi-rati added 11.

Genoa-Kingston 47, Harvard 43: At Genoa, the Hornets lost in Big Northern Conference East Division play. Harvard led 33-28 heading into the fourth quarter but were outscored 19-10 the rest of the way. Justin Nolen led the Hornets with 20 points and Fernando Carrera added nine.

Underwood brings home 1st-place medal for vault

By MARTY MACIASZEK

MILWAUKEE – Nick Bel-lich and his McHenry boys basketball teammates got a taste of NBA life Saturday af-ternoon.

The Warriors and Grant played their nonconference game at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, the home of the Milwaukee Bucks.

And it was a memora-ble day for McHenry, even though it lost its fifth straight game, 58-51.

“It was definitely a great experience,” said McHenry senior Kyle Postal after scor-ing a team-high 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting.

“It was awesome,” Bellich said after scoring 14 points and hitting four 3-pointers. “Riding the bus to the game

and playing like they do. Well, not as good as they do.”

Bellich and Postal said the huge arena didn’t affect their shooting as much as the light-ing. McHenry (10-14) shot 9 for 33 from behind the arc and 19 for 58 overall.

A pair of 3s by Cody Fre-und and Mike Lawrence got the Warriors within 55-50 with 28 seconds left, but Grant (15-13) held on for its third straight win.

“It’s never been a question of playing hard,” McHen-ry coach Tim Paddock said. “They really are a fun group to coach and you want to see them have success.”

That’s why Paddock was thrilled to see his team get the opportunity to play on a big-league stage.

“It was a great experi-ence overall and what a neat

thing for all the guys,” Pad-dock said. “To go through the Bucks locker room and play on this floor was a neat thing for them.”

Especially since it came less than 24 hours after the Warriors suffered a heart-breaking one-point loss at the buzzer to Dundee-Crown. And they will get another shot at Grant, which got 23 points off the bench from Mike Burns, in a little more than a week in a regional opener at McHen-ry.

“We were so frustrated after last night’s loss that it fueled me and Nick for this game,” Postal said. “We want-ed to come out and put on a show.

“We definitely felt we should have won this game. A few plays here and there and it’s our ballgame.”

Warriors enjoy day despite lossBOYS BASKETBALL: GRANT 58, MCHENRY 51

“The judge said she would score it a 9.775, so I figured she had it won,” Battaglia said. “She was only going to do the full if she had a good layout.”

Underwood throught the full was one of her best ever.

“I really wanted to do my full, so I wanted to be sure I did my first vault well so I

could do the full (on the sec-ond),” Underwood said. “I did [the full] pretty well, so I’m happy with it.”

Before her vault, Under-wood was smiling and laugh-ing with her teammates. After her second vault, she trotted back to her teammates for a round of hugs, wearing a huge smile.

A few minutes later, she was wearing a first-place medal.

All 7 CLC state qualifiers placeSTATE WRESTLING

Rockets struggle at the line

By ROB [email protected]

CHAMPAIGN – Crystal Lake Central brought seven wrestlers to the Individual State Wrestling Finals and left with seven medals.

Mike Petersen at 132 pounds and Kyle Fugiel (170) both won their third-place matches for the Tigers. Lenny Petersen (120), Logan Lundelius (138) and Romeo McKnight (220) all took sixth for Central in Class 2A.

It’s the first time in recent memory that the Tigers have had all of their state qualifiers place.

“We’re all pretty pumped up about that,” Fugiel said. “We had all these good kids (in the past) and still couldn’t do it.”

Fugiel got a little payback when he pinned Lincoln-Way West’s Javier Montalvo in his third-place match. He lost to Montalvo in the quarterfinals to get bumped to the back draw. Fugiel said he knew he had to combat Montalvo’s ag-gressive style.

“I took him down with head and hand fakes,” Fugiel said.

“I just saw the opportunity and I went for it.”

Mike Petersen had an ap-preciation for what he accom-plished as a sophomore but un-derstands that what he is doing is not life and death. He said Tigers coach Justen Lehr tells them all wrestling is just a game.

“This was my dream since I was 10 years old,” Mike Peters-en said. “It’s just all about play-ing the game right. When you think of it as a job it gets to you.”

Marian Central’s Nick Rem-ke defeated Springfield’s Hora-tio Austin, 6-5, in his third-place match. Remke got put on his back and was down, 5-3, going into the third but got an escape and takedown to win.

Although Remke was not sat-isfied with his third-place medal, he understood how many good wrestlers were in his bracket.

“I knew it was going to be tough,” Remke said. “To be ahead of everybody else but those two feels pretty good.”

Richmond-Burton’s Gavin Sutton placed third at 113 and exacted a little revenge. In the consolation semifinals, he de-cisioned Elmwood Park’s Ben

Vazquez, 7-1. Sutton had lost to Vazquez in the Lakes Sec-tional finals. In the third-place match, he beat Sandwich’s Dan Emma, 4-3.

Sutton got a reversal with about 20 seconds left in the third for the win. He said after the match he got to take it all in and see his family and sup-porters cheering.

“I was a bit worried because [Emma] was so lanky,” Sutton said. “I felt great and looked up into the crowd.”

After just missing placing at state in Class 1A last year, Har-vard’s Adam Freimund came back to place fifth at 285 this year in 2A. Freimund wanted more but didn’t offer any excuses.

“I can appreciate that I placed,” Freimund said. “It’s not what I wanted, but I just should have done better. I blame it all on me.”

In 3A, Eric Barone got a pin for Crystal Lake South in his first match at state. After that, he didn’t have a match go un-der eight minutes, wrestling in two ultimate tiebreakers and two tiebreaker matches.

Barone defeated Belleville

West’s Nick Foster, 2-1, in tiebreakers in his 145-pound fifth-place match. Barone said the overtime experience gives him confidence going into the those matches.

“It’s still a grind but [the ex-perience] helps me keep calm and keep my cool,” Barone said.

Also for the Gators, Nick Gil defeated Glenbard West’s Pernevlon Sheppard, 6-2, in his fifth-place match at 138.

Cary-Grove’s Mike Cullen was injured in his consolation semifinal match at 120 against Oak Park-River Forest’s Rich-ard Townsell. Townsell caught Cullen in the right eye with his head on a takedown move.

Cullen’s eye was severely swollen and he was taken off the mat on a stretcher to the hospi-tal. Trojans coach Ryan Ludwig said Cullen was alert at the hos-pital after getting an X-ray.

Cullen would have defaulted to a sixth-place finish but his fifth-place match opponent, Marist’s Mark Duda, was re-moved from the tournament for a flagrant personal foul for a hand gesture to the crowd. Cul-len got the fifth-place medal.

Woodstock by five in the third quarter. The Woodstock lead was six heading into the fourth quarter.

The Rockets were able to cut the Woodstock lead to three with 1:33 remaining on a basket by junior Jessi-ca Guenther, but Woodstock made plays down the stretch to close out the Rockets.

Senior Hannah Koenig led the Rockets with nine points.

There was no doubt that Richmond-Burton struggled from the foul line, converting only 12 of 29 attempts. The Streaks also missed seven free throws in the game, but made them when it counted.

“They made it tough for us to get back in it,” Ludois said. “It seemed like every time we went on a run, either a turn-over, a missed free throw or them making a play would kill our momentum.”

The Streaks will play Rock-ford-Lutheran on Monday in the Belvidere Sectional.

“My coach said, ‘When he pushes back, he’s going to get sloppy.’ ” Marsden said. “When I hit [the takedown], I was shocked.”

Marsden got Ferraro in a cradle to lock up the pin at 1:32. Even with the cradle locked up, Marsden said he wasn’t thinking about winning the state title yet.

“I was just focused on get-ting the pin,” Marsden said. “I squeezed and closed my eyes, hoping that the ref would call it.”

Tigers coach Justen Lehr said it was a different Marsden

than in the sectional final. “It was a matter of [Marsden]

being more aggressive,” Lehr said. “Andrew was just on fire.”

Marsden’s title was tem-pered by watching teammate Mike Zelasco lose in the 182 finals. Being in consecutive weight classes allowed Zelas-co and Marsden to march in the Grand March together, both for the first time.

“It was nice to share the mo-ment with him,” Marsden said.

Central ended the season on a high after failing to win a regional title, where they qual-ified seven wrestlers for sec-tionals. Those seven also qual-ified for and placed at state.

“They wrestled real well,” Lehr said of his seven place

winners. “How many others placed seven wrestlers?”

Lehr said the team loss might have benefited his indi-vidual wrestlers.

“It didn’t work out and we focused on our kids,” Lehr said. “I think it helped out for them to get the individual attention.”

In Class 3A, McHenry’s Luis Hernandez lost, 8-2, in the 220 championship to Har-lem’s Sage Hecox, and Dundee-Crown’s Christan Brunner lost, 5-3, in the 182 title match to Deerfield’s Colton Emmerich.

It was a bad ending for an otherwise stellar season for Her-nandez. After being injured the last part of the regular season, Hernandez came back to qualify for state for the first time.

At state, Hernandez beat the No. 1-ranked wrestler in the state by illinoismatmen.com in the semifinals and the No. 3-ranked wrestler in the quarterfinals. Hernandez end-ed the year with two losses and 37 wins.

Brunner, an honorable mention in the rankings, turned some eyes when he beat No. 1-ranked Alex Benoit from Marist in the semifinals.

Chargers coach Bob Skill-man said Brunner, a sopho-more, benefited from not being in the spotlight.

“We were kind of hiding [Brunner],” Skillman said. “We were happy he wasn’t ranked up there. He made be-lievers of us all.”

Denny Hamlin driving for Daytona sweep

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press

D A Y T O N A B E A C H , Fla. – Denny Hamlin almost couldn’t help himself at the start of his Daytona 500 qual-ifying race, when his anxious-ly tried to charge to the front and shake out all the cobwebs and frustration from his inju-ry-plagued season a year ago.

The move backfired, he found himself mired in traffic and after a deep breath to re-group, used a different game-plan to get to the front.

It was a valuable lesson in patience, one he’ll need Sunday when he tries to be-come the first driver at Day-tona International Speedway to sweep Speedweeks. He opened Daytona with a win in the exhibition Sprint Un-limited and in the second of two 150-mile qualifying races, but those races are only confi-dence-boosters.

The big daddy is the sea-son-opening Daytona 500, and no driver has ever completed the trifecta.

Oh, what a prize that would be for Hamlin, who sat out five races last season with a fractured vertebra then game-ly drove through the pain for the final six months in a failed

attempt to salvage his year.“I think the biggest chal-

lenge for myself is keeping the reins back for 400 miles, 450 miles,” he said. “Obvious-ly, when you go out here and you perform the way we have over these last few races, it’s hard not to just want to go out there, charge out there, show that you’re still on top and still the best right on lap one. It’s going to be battling those inner demons of wanting to go out there, lead laps, putting yourself in a safe position, but also being conservative and making sure you’re there at the end of the day.”

This is a familiar act at Daytona, where surprise win-ners often steal the win and heartbreak is the norm. The late Dale Earnhardt won 34 races at Daytona but didn’t win his only Daytona 500 un-til his 20th try. Trevor Bayne? He won his Daytona 500 debut at the expense of three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, who is 0-for-15 and has lost the race in spectac-ular fashion. He was passed by Ryan Newman on the last lap in 2008, didn’t get the push he needed on the final restart when Bayne won in 2011 and played second-fiddle to Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2004.

INDIANAPOLIS – The hardest part about covering an NFL team is getting coaches or front office folks to talk. Al-though Bears general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman are pleasant enough guys, they share real infor-mation like the CIA shares Rolodexes.

That’s why NFL media line up at their editors’ desks to cover the combine. The trick here in Indianapolis is getting the world’s greatest collection of mimes and mutes to stop talking.

But what are they actually saying?

For example, after refus-ing to recognize the signifi-cance of the Bears-Packers ri-valry during his first season in Chicago, here’s what Marc Trestman says now:

“We go into every season and every week, we don’t de-monize opponents, we respect every opponent. But, on the other hand, we understand what that rivalry means to our community and the com-munities of Green Bay and Chicago. And we believe it’s a healthy rivalry. But we need to be at our best every week and certainly be at our best against a divisional opponent like the Packers.”

In other words, it’s still just another game to him.

Told that cornerback Charles Tillman has ex-pressed a strong desire to remain a Bear, Emery said:

“Certainly Charles knows we want him back and we’ll just work through it. It’s a step-by-step process.”

Based on what we learned

from the Brian Urlacher divorce, that means the Bears love Charles too, and he’ll be back on their terms and in their time frame or not at all.

Asked whether Julius Peppers will be a salary cap casualty or a Bear, Emery said:

“That would be a contract question, and I think I have a very demonstrated history of not answering those questions. I will say that Julius is part of our football team. He is under contract. We’re all coming off an 8-8 season. We have a lot to improve upon and that is where our heads are at.”

But the Bears can’t pay him $18 million to show up every third or fourth week.

Emery said of Shea McClel-lin’s move from defensive end to linebacker:

“I think it would be to our advantage to use players who have skills to rush the passer. I’ll go back: obviously disap-pointed on the sack produc-tion, in terms of that impact, but he was our most produc-tive rusher on our team. His athleticism allows him to pressure the quarterback. We want to put him in position where he can make more plays overall.”

Imagine being disappointed in the sack production of the most productive rusher on your team. Still, I expect this means Emery stands behind the first round choice of Mc-

Clellin.Trestman said of Corey

Wootton’s future or lack there-of with the Bears:

“I think that Corey is a free agent, just like a bunch of guys are free agents. He’s been very good in our locker room. He shows up every day and I think the endorsement is he shows up every day, he’s got a smile on his face and he works.”

Some endorsement. I think they like Wootton but know he won’t move the needle one way or the other on their defense.

Trestman also offered the best quote of the weekend when he said on several occa-sions:

“Last year, there were 10 players on the offensive side of the ball that were not on the roster this time of year and

who significantly impacted our football team. I just note that because this is a process that we’re going through, filtering through our team, fil-tering through the free agents and building our team through the draft.”

I believe that means he thinks they’re about 10 players away on defense?

Finally, there was this from Emery about contract exten-sions:

“Good question. You’d have to give me specific players, and I wouldn’t tell you anyways.”

I think he meant exactly what he said.

Jernigan headlines versatile DT prospects Bears likely seekBy KEVIN FISHBAIN

[email protected]

INDIANAPOLIS – Timmy Jernigan said he hasn’t fol-lowed mock drafts, because if he did, he would want to find a realtor in Chicago.

Several early mock drafts have the Bears taking the Florida State defensive tack-le at No. 14. He made head-lines with nine tackles in the BCS National Championship victory.

We’re still more than two months away from the Bears being on the clock, but as of now, Stephen Paea is the only defensive tackle under contract for 2014. It is easy to consider defensive tackle a priority.

Jernigan, Minnesota’s R a ’ S h e d e H a g e m a n a n d Pittsburgh’s Aaron Don-ald all are considered ear-ly-round prospects with some scheme versatility, and they spoke to reporters

Saturday at the NFL Scout-ing Combine.

“I tell coaches I play all the way from a 0-technique all the way to a 9[-tech-nique],” Hageman said. “I’m very versatile and very com-fortable playing anything you want me to play.”

Hageman said his favorite position is to line up one-on-one with an offensive tackle on third down, although he acknowledged he has some catching up to do, having only played three years on the defensive interior.

Jernigan played in a 3-4 defense for the champion Seminoles and said he can play in any scheme.

“I can attack, I can two-gap, it really doesn’t mat-ter,” he said. “I can play any-where along the front, just put me on the field.”

At the Senior Bowl, Don-ald shined and was the best defensive lineman at prac-tice. His knock has been his

height – he said he measured just under 6-foot-1.

“In college, I played three different positions. I played nose tackle, played in a three-man front at five-tech-nique, played three tech-nique,” he said. “Being ver-satile the way I am, I feel like that’s a plus. … Defensive line is defensive line to me, but I feel like I’m a three-tech. I feel like I’m an inside guy.”

Before games against the Lions and Bengals, Bears coach Marc Trestman sin-gled out two of the best play-ers at that position in the game – Ndamukong Suh and Geno Atkins – as players the offensive line needed to neu-tralize. All three defensive tackle prospects singled out Suh as a player they enjoy watching.

“I love how physical [Suh] is when he plays,” Donald said. “He’s a monster. It’s hard to block him.”

Donald also said his fa-vorite player is Atkins, an-other “undersized” defen-sive tackle.

They’re fun to dissect, but mock drafts in February are rarely accurate. However, if the Bears could snag a ver-satile defensive tackle can aspire to be a force like Suh, it’d go a long way to helping improve the defense.

There is one thing they wouldn’t have to worry about with Jernigan, who grew up and played his college ball in Florida: he would be happy to come to a cold-weather team.

“I love the cold weather. That’s the weird part about it. I’m a Florida boy, but I love cold weather,” he said. “I think I play better in the cold.”

Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan speaks during a news conference, Jan. 2 in Newport Beach, Calif. Jernigan is one of the many prospects that the Bears are looking at to help their defensive line.

SOCHI SCENE

Shiffrin’s No. 1 fan

U.S. alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin talks about her gold-medal win in the women’s slalom during a news conference Saturday in So-chi, Russia.

Loser gets Bieber?

SOCHI, Russia – Several years ago, bothered by some of the more obscure Olympic sports, I suggested in writing that the size of the gold medals should reflect each sport’s relative popularity and legitimacy.

Sadly (and oddly), the International Olympic Com-mittee did not respond.

I see now that it’s one thing to have an idea and quite another to have a detailed plan or, in this case, a formula. What I’m about to present to you are ground-breaking Olympic metrics that will change the Winter Games forever. I hope the following questions and plus or minus values will guide the IOC in deciding whether the gold medal for a partic-ular sport should be tradi-tional-sized, quarter-sized, nickel-sized or, in the case of biathlon, the size of a dime:

-pate in the sport in your coun-try? More than 100,000, plus-10 points. You can count them on two hands and still have a thumb left over, minus-10.

in when the sport is on TV during the Olympics? More than 5 million, plus-5. Only 5,000, but they chug a beer every time the announcer mentions German ski jumper Andreas Wank, plus-10. Just close relatives of the athletes, minus-5.

TV other than during the Olympics? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-10.

of a spectacular crash or an embarrassing fall? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-5

Yes, plus-5. No, minus-5.

might it involve women? Yes, plus-15. No, minus-2.

person? Yes, minus-10. No, plus-10.

country’s “president” crave gold in a particular sport? A lot, plus-5. Very little, he’s too busy suppressing basic human rights, minus-10.

as an excuse for poor perfor-mance? Yes, minus-10. No, plus-10.

and a quivering chin give an athlete a do-over during competition? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-5.

being watched? No, plus-5. I can’t talk right now because they’re very near, plus-10.

outcome of the sport? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-5.

role, what are the chances of a severe-looking Russian judge named “Ludmila” be-ing involved? Good, plus-10. Not so good, minus-2.

of the sport back to a fuzzy

bar bet? Yes, minus-5. No, plus-10.

plus-2. People don’t know this, but Mick actually was the Walrus, plus-10.

athletes missing teeth? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-5.

men wearing snappy chiffon outfits? Yes, minus-10. No, plus-10.

mind would try ski jumping? I don’t know, plus-5. Like, who wouldn’t! plus-10.

sport’s equipment and get

blinding blizzard? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-2.

-cumulation to have a snow-ball fight in your country? Yes, plus-5. No, plus-10.

go out of their way to wear “countercultural” clothing during competition, make lifestyle statements that seem to point to the existential emptiness of the corporate rat race and then try to grab as much money as possible in product endorsements? Yes, minus-10. No, plus-10.

Jamaican bobsledding team? Yes, plus-5. No, minus-5.

on first in the morning? Right, plus-10. Left, minus-10.

plus-5. No, minus-5.

nations in the world that actually have a proficiency

in the sport? Yes, plus-2. No, minus-10.

kind would you be? An apple, minus-10. What idiot man-agement type thought of that question? plus-10.

OK, time for our tabula-tion.

Traditional-sized gold medals: Women’s figure skating, men’s hockey and downhill skiing.

Quarter-sized gold medals: Women’s hockey, ski jump-ing, short-track speedskat-ing, ski cross and the rest of the Alpine skiing events.

Nickel-sized gold medals: Curling, men’s figure skat-ing, cross-country skiing, long-track speedskating, Nordic combined, moguls and aerials skiing.

biathlon, snowboard cross and ice dancing.

Crystal-healing medals: Slopestyle skiing and snow-boarding, and halfpipe skiing and snowboarding.

I’m sure there will be debate about this, and some of you might take exception with the methodology. All I can say is that my metrics don’t lie, people. The num-bers are the numbers. And what they say is that some gold medals are worth more than others. I eagerly await the IOC’s call.

U.S. finishes with a real flopSOCHI, Russia – At least

they didn’t break any furni-ture.

Yet.Then again, the U.S.

hockey team’s charter flight home isn’t scheduled to take off until Sunday. Although their fourth-place finish Saturday night was better than the sixth they managed at the 1998 Nagano Olympics – when several players went all Rolling Stones and started pitching chairs and desks out of windows – there won’t be many souvenirs worth hang-ing onto from here, either.

The Americans’ embar-

Thomas going to ‘big leagues’ as analystBy CHARLES ODUM

MACON, Ga. – Just in time for his entry into the Hall of Fame, Frank Thomas is moving up to the broadcasting big leagues.

Thomas will join Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine as players in-ducted into the Hall this summer. He said Saturday he’s completing details on an agreement to work this season as a studio baseball analyst for Fox Sports 1, based in Los Angeles. The network has not announced Thomas’ new role.

He has worked the past three seasons on local broadcasts for Comcast in Chicago. He said he expects to continue to have a role with Comcast this year.

“I’ve been doing pregame and postgame the last three years in Chicago,” Thomas said. “I’ve stayed involved that way. This is more a call to the big leagues. I’ve been doing local the last three years, and getting a call as well as the Hall of Fame was great.”

Thomas said his year has been a whirlwind. On Saturday, the Co-lumbus native was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.

“It’s great to see a career ful-filled in this way,” he said. “It was a great career and acknowledge-

ment means everything.”He said he has no sympathy

for those excluded from baseball’s Hall because they took shortcuts with performance-enhancing drugs. He won AL MVP awards in 1993 and 1994 and finished his

19-year career with a .301 batting aver-age, 521 homers and 1,704 RBIs.

Thomas said if he’d taken the same shortcuts as some of his peers, his career could have

been even greater.“No doubt about it. I’ll be hon-

est, I lost a lot,” he said. “I proba-bly lost another two MVPs. I lost probably another 150 home runs or so, if you think about it. I could have had one of those historical careers, but I’m proud of what I did.

“I’m not a sore loser because I had so much fun in the major leagues. I know a lot of guys had great talent against me. I know guys made decisions a lot of them are regretting right now, but I’ve never been one who was all upset with them because they made the decisions. They made them for their families,” he continued. “But I’ve already told a couple guys,

don’t come crying now, though. Once you crossed that line, don’t come back crying when something is found out, and a lot of guys did that. That’s the only thing that up-set me, because guys knew what they were doing.”

Thomas said his election into the baseball Hall of Fame on his first year of eligibility is proof that he made the right decisions.

“Guys got caught. They feel like they didn’t do anything wrong because there were so many guys doing it,” Thomas said. “But I’m like, hey, you guys have that tal-ent. There are four or five guys we know who were Hall of Famers who didn’t need to cheat and they did, because of the money. They wanted the money. They wanted the big dollars.

“I’m sorry. I lost a lot of money not doing it, you know? That’s just the way it is,” he said. “That’s why opportunity keeps coming my way now.”

He said his greatest reward is peace of mind.

“I sleep better every day of the week,” he said. “I don’t have to worry about my phone ringing and somebody going, ‘We found out you did this and that.’ It’s great to go home and sleep at night. From day one I’ve told people that.”

400 freestyle relay: 1. Stevenson 3:13.59*, 3. Jacobs co-op (Knottnerus, Ogaban, Slack, Reinbrecht) 3:15.62, 5. McHenry (Schopen, Peck, Smith, Braun) 3:16.55

McHenry’s Schopen qualifies in 200 freestyle, DQ’ed in 100 butterfly

second and touched in 47.65 – more than two seconds bet-ter than his previous person-al-best, and qualified for state.

With two successful indi-vidual races already in hand, he approached the 400 free-style relay with nothing to lose and swam a 46.9 during his leg in an unsuccessful bid for a third state-qualify event.

Braun drew high-praise from his coach, Craig Fowles, who couldn’t help but look to the future even though the sea-son isn’t over.

“That kid is fast,” Fowles said. “He already has a full week of taper, so I don’t know

how much faster he will go next week. But in the coming years, he is just going to grow and get bigger. Who knows how fast he will be.”

Braun’s explosive swims helped McHenry to a sev-enth-place finish with 84 points. Jacobs co-op (109) fin-ished fourth and had the best finish of the four area teams. Cary-Grove co-op (95) took fifth while Woodstock co-op (11) finished 12th.

McHenry sophomore Trey Schopen will be joining his teammate, as he qualified for next weekend’s state meet at Evanston. Schopen finished second in the 200 freestyle in 1:44.25, good enough for a trip to state. He also had a qualifying time in the 100 butterfly, but

his time was wiped away after a false-start disqualification.

“I thought he was off quick,” Fowles said, “but I didn’t see a false start. Unfor-tunately, there is nothing you can do.”

Jacobs co-op will send two swimmers to the state meet as sophomore Francis Ogab-an advanced in the 100 back-stroke and Alex Reinbrecht qualified in the 200 and 500 freestyle events.

The senior hasn’t started tapering and has continued to train hard in practice, which makes his times even more im-pressive. The first 100 yards of his 200 freestyle was only sev-en-hundredths of a second off the state time in the 100, and he also impressed in the 500, fin-

ishing in a personal-best 4:37.24.“I just went out really quick

and wanted to hold it there,” Reinbrecht said. “I just want-ed to go for it and have fun.”

Cary-Grove co-op will send one swimmer to state as senior Adam Eibel qualified in the 100 breaststroke. During the race, Trojans coach Rick Schaefer kept one eye on the clock and one eye on Eibel and when the senior touched in 59.98, Schae-fer held both hand over his head and jumped up and down.

“Before that race, I’ve never been more nervous in my life,” Eibel said. “Being the last race in my high school career I was thinking about if I didn’t get it. But looking up and seeing that time, and breaking a minute, was a relief.”

McHenry’s Trey Schopen competes in the 200-yard freestyle final during Saturday’s Stevenson Sectional in Lincolnshire. Schopen fin-ished second with a time of 1:44.25 to qualifying for the state meet.

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN [email protected]

CRYSTAL LAKE – Erin Hogue’s grooming station has everything she needs: dryers, cabinets, bath tub, grooming table, tile floors.

It also has a few more-unconventional features: windshield wipers, a trans-mission, side mirrors and four wheels.

Like a growing portion of the pet grooming indus-try, Hogue’s Erin’s Mobile Pet Grooming does all the traveling at the conve-nience of the clients. Hogue grooms in the back of her customized van outside her customers’ homes.

“Grooming is a tough and messy job – it’s a lot of work,” said Hogue, whose business services most of McHenry County. “With mobile, because we are coming to the owners home, we are able to charge more because of the conve-nience factor.

“It’s nice to be able to charge what you feel you’re worth.”

Hogue isn’t the only one opting for the mobile side of the grooming business.

Those who decide to take their business to the road note several advan-tages. They say pet owners love the ease, and many will gladly pay extra for the convenience. And dogs tend to react better to a van near their normal sur-roundings than to a foreign business, which can tend to be crammed with other loud animals.

“It’s by far my favor-ite work environment,” added Hogue, who started

as a bather for a corporate pet store. “When you go to their homes, they treat you like a guest, as oppose to if you’re in a store and they see you as the help.”

That atmosphere tends to lend itself to lengthy cli-ent-groomer relationships, said Ashley Hughes, who owns the Elgin-based mo-bile groomer Paw-fect Pet Grooming.

“It’s a lot more inter-active with the clients,” Hughes said. “We get to know each other. We see them all every six to eight weeks.”

But Hughes notes disad-vantages of the mobile ap-proach, too. The weather, in particular, can challenge mobile groomers – freezing in-van water tanks or cre-ating unsafe travel condi-tions. Hughes had to cancel afternoon appointments during Monday’s snow-storm.

Ultimately, though, con-venience drives the busi-ness. And business is good.

Hughes manages two groomers and three vans, sending them as far north as McHenry and as far east as Arlington Heights.

“We keep getting bus-ier and busier,” she said. “There were a couple

[groomers] that weren’t taking more clients. We’ve been getting more calls out of that, and we’re hiring more groomers.”

Michigan-based Wag’n Tails was among the first to try mobile grooming in the 1970s.

Transfers not always best for large gifts

Lifetime gifts of assets, including closely held stock, real estate, or marketable securities, from parents to children transfers those assets to the next generation while minimiz-ing estate taxes. For large gifts, an outright transfer, although simple and straightforward, may not be the most effective type of transfer. Not including tax considerations, straightforward gifts may not be in the child’s best interest depending on age, financial astuteness and asset protection considerations. A method that may be in the best interest of the child is a gift, or a gift and sale, of assets to an Intentional-ly Defective Grantor Trust, or IDGT.

In an IDGT, the grantor (the person who creates the trust) makes an irrevocable gift of property into a trust, usually set up for the grant-or’s children, and names someone else as trustee. It is defective for in-come tax purposes, but effective for estate tax purposes. In other words, the income is taxable to the grantor, but the value of the trust is not in-cluded in his or her gross estate.

An IDGT has a number of advan-tages:

1. The income tax liability for the trust assets may be lower if taxed at the grantor’s, rather than the trust’s tax rates. Estates and trusts have a very compressed income tax rate structure, and therefore the grantor being taxed on the trust income may create tax savings.

2. By having the grantor be taxed on the trust income, the value of the trust assets is not reduced by the taxes and thus will allow a greater value to pass to the remainder ben-eficiaries. This effectively results in a tax-free gift of the income tax to the trust’s remainder benefi-ciaries. The IRS has indicated the grantor’s payment of the income tax of an irrevocable grantor trust is not a taxable gift to the remainder beneficiary.

3. The grantor’s gross estate is reduced by the amount of the income taxes paid on behalf of the trust income.

4. The trust assets and the appre-ciation of the trust assets after the date of the transfer to the trust are removed from the grantor’s gross estate. As a result, appreciation on assets transferred to the trust can be shifted to younger generations with minimal transfer tax.

5. Transactions between the grantor and trust are ignored for income tax purposes. Thus, the grantor can sell assets to or buy as-sets from the trust without recog-nizing gain or loss on the transac-tion.

Only certain select powers will achieve the two-prong test of taxing the trust income to the grantor but excluding the trust assets from the grantor’s gross estate. To ensure grantor trust treatment, more than one of the following powers will often be included in the trust document:

Mexico to pass Japan as No. 2 car exporter to U.S.

CELAYA, Mexico – Mexi-co is on track to become the United States’ No. 1 source of imported cars by the end of next year, overtaking Japan and Canada in a manufactur-ing boom that’s turning the auto industry into a bigger source of dollars than money sent home by migrants.

The boom is raising hopes that Mexico can cre-ate enough new jobs to pull millions out of poverty as northbound migration slows sharply, but critics caution that most of the new car jobs are low-skill and pay too little. Mexico’s low and stag-nant wages have helped keep the poverty rate between 40 and 50 percent since the pas-sage of the North American Free Trade Agreement two decades ago.

An $800 million Honda plant that opened Friday in the central state of Gua-najuato will produce more than 200,000 Fit hatchbacks and compact sport-utility ve-hicles a year, helping push total Mexican car exports to the U.S. to 1.7 million in 2014, about 200,000 more than Ja-pan, consulting firm IHS Au-tomotive says. And with an-other big plant starting next week, Mexico is expected to surpass Canada for the top spot by the end of 2015.

“It’s a safe bet,” said Edu-ardo Solis, president of the Mexican Automotive Indus-try Association. “Mexico is now one of the major global players in car manufactur-ing.”

When NAFTA was signed two decades ago, Mexico pro-duced 6 percent of the cars built in North America. It now provides 19 percent. To-tal Mexican car production has risen 39 percent from 2007, to nearly 3 million cars a year. The total value of Mexico’s car exports surged from $40 billion to $70.6 bil-lion over that span.

“I congratulate Honda for its having confidence in Mexico, for having total confidence in the develop-ment of our country,” said Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who attended the opening in Celaya along with Honda CEO Takanobu Ito. “They’re contributing to two basic objectives, gen-erating wealth and creating jobs in this country.”

Manufacturing in Mexico is now cheaper than in many places in China, though the vast majority of the cars and trucks made in North America are still produced in the U.S. for domestic con-sumption and export to other countries.

Brutal winter brings chance to refocus on prioritiesThe worst winter of the century

with record-breaking snowfall and ice, slush, salt everywhere. Will spring ever get here?

For the past couple of months, the conversation around the water cooler has been focused on the bru-tal winter and never-ending doom and gloom weather conditions. The misery index has been at its high-est levels in spite of the fact that there are truly four seasons here in Illinois: winter, more winter, still winter and construction. So why put your energy into wishing it was different? Despite the frigid condi-tions outside, you can turn up the heat and get the energy flowing to the success you want.

Mark Twain once observed that “everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it.” Reinhold Niebuhr prayed

for “the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference.”

In your business, which are you going to be? The inert complainer or the courageous change engine? Con-sider taking action on the following strategies to increase your energy and positive results.

Take an energy audit: Divert your attention and energy from the things you can’t control such as the weather, the stock market, the glob-al economy and invest your valu-able energy and resources on the things you can control. Ultimately, you can only control yourself and

the actions you take to live an en-ergetic life full of joy. When you do this, you will inspire and influence other people in your organization by modeling leadership, passion, integrity and commitment.

Albert Camus wrote that “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer.” With this mindset, you can use this valuable “energy renewal/hibernation time” to plant your spring seedlings and focus on a bountiful growing and harvesting season.

Recharge your energy reserves: How well charged are your personal and professional reserves? What about your leadership team? Do you have enough reserve battery power to operate at peak performance? If not, take the time to renew and re-charge yourself. Take a day off and

get out of the office to think about where you have been effective and not effective.

Revitalize your vision and dedi-cation to yourself, your family and your business. Commit to exercis-ing and moving daily, enjoying restorative sleep and reflection time and eating nutrient-rich foods. Be-come a high-energy, purpose-driven leader by prioritizing your health and vitality. It’s the best investment you will ever make.

Get back to the basics: If you are overextended in any area of your life, it’s time to reevaluate your priorities. You can’t be everything to everyone and still be effective. Create a balance sheet with a list of your personal and professional assets and liabilities and determine your return on investment and return on energy. Now is the time

to make the tough decisions about the people, places and activities that are draining you. You can’t afford to have any energy zappers in your life.

Share your plans: Be bold and share where you are prioritizing your energy and attention. Ask for help from trusted colleagues and ad-visors to implement your ideas. By sharing your plans, you will inspire others to take energetic and focused action toward a successful 2014 and beyond.

FRESNO, Calif. – Federal officials said that without a lot more rain and snow many California farmers caught in the state’s drought can expect to receive no irrigation water this year from a vast system of rivers, canals and reservoirs interlacing the state.

The U.S. Bureau of Recla-mation released its first out-look of the year, saying that the agency will continue to monitor rain and snow fall, but the grim levels so far prove that the state is in the throes of one of its driest peri-ods in recorded history.

Unless the year turns wet, many farmers can expect to receive no water from the federally run Central Valley Project. Central Valley farm-ers received only 20 percent of their normal water allotment last year and were expecting this year’s bad news. Some communities and endangered wildlife that rely on the feder-al water source will also suffer deep cuts.

“We will monitor the hy-drology as the water year pro-gresses and continue to look for opportunities to exercise operational flexibility,” Rec-lamation Commissioner Mi-chael L. Connor said in a writ-ten statement, noting that the state’s snowpack is at 29 per-cent of average for this time

of year.Gov. Jerry Brown last

month declared California’s drought emergency, and both state and federal officials have pledged millions of dollars to help with water conservation and food banks for those put out of work by the drought.

California officials who manage the State Water Proj-ect, the state’s other major wa-ter system, have already said they won’t be releasing any water for farmers, marking a first in its 54-year history.

In 2009, the dry weather caused federal authorities to announce many Central Val-ley farmers would receive no water, but the wet weather that followed moved that up to 10 percent. Ryan Jacobsen of the Fresno County Farm Bu-reau said no Fresno County farmers were spared of bad news this time, marking a sad historical first. Fresno County leads the nation in agriculture production with $6.6 billion in annual economic activity.

There’s still time for the situation to improve. By late Wednesday, the National Weather Service expects a storm to sweep through the re-gion bringing significant show-ers. The weather is expected to break Thursday with rain con-tinuing Friday and Saturday. The state needs a succession of storms dumping mountain snow, said Pete Lucero of the Bureau of Reclamation.

1. Power to reacquire trust property by substituting other property of equivalent value is the most commonly included power in a trust instrument to create an intentionally defec-tive grantor trust.

2. Power that gives a non-beneficiary but related-party (e.g. spouse, parent, sibling) trustee the discretion to dis-tribute income and principal among a class of beneficiaries causes grantor trust status.

3. Power to add beneficia-ries to the trust other than children born or adopted after the original trust document was created will cause grantor trust status.

4. Grantor’s right to bor-row from the trust without adequate security causes grantor trust status.

5. Power to distribute or accumulate income for the grantor’s spouse will cause grantor trust status. However, if the grantor’s spouse dies first, the trust will lose its grantor trust status. Also, if the trust instrument allows trust income to be used to “support” a spouse whom a grantor is obligated to sup-port, trust assets will be in-cluded in the grantor’s estate.

6. Power to use trust income to pay life insur-ance premiums on the life of the grantor or the grantor’s spouse will cause grantor trust status.

Consider more than math when making key financial decisions

Dear Dave,I went to medical school,

and now I have $70,000 in debt. I just started a three-year residency making about $50,000 a year, while my wife makes $40,000. The student loans represent our only debt. Do you think we should be paying this off or investing in a Roth IRA?

– David

Dear David,If I were in your shoes,

I’d work on paying down the student loans. That means you may never be in a Roth, but there are other things you can invest in and grow wealth.

I realize this may not seem right mathematically, but I don’t always make financial decisions based exclusively on math. Many times I do things based on changing money behaviors – stuff like paying off debts from smallest to largest because it actually works. Personal finance is 80 percent behavior, and only 20 percent head knowledge. So sometimes you have to go with what actually works best overall, in spite of what the technical math shows.

In your case, I think it’s going to be very valuable to have no student loans by the time you complete your resi-dency. With three years to go, and living on a $90,000 a year income, you can do it. Then, when you come through the

other side as a full-fledge doctor, you’ll have the great income and be sitting there debt-free. Not a bad place to be, right?

I understand the Roth seems like a pretty good idea right now, but my advice is to stick with becoming debt-free as quickly as possible. Once that’s done, you and your wife will be able to invest, save, and build wealth like crazy!

– Dave

Dear Dave,My wife started working

at a pharmaceutical company that gave her a few thousand dollars’ worth of stock. In the last year that stock has doubled in value. We’ve con-sidered buying more just to see how it does. What do you think about this?

– Robert

Dear Robert,I understand why you guys

would be excited, but you’re still looking at a very risky proposition. Any stock that doubles its value in just one year is highly volatile. It’s very unusual when things like that happen, and the fact is, it could go down in value just a quickly.

I think you should be

completely debt-free, except for your house, and have an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses in place before you start any outside investing. You should also make sure that 15 percent of your income is already going toward retire-ment.

I don’t mind you dab-bling a little bit as long as all the other stuff is taken care of first. But I’d advise you to never put more than 10 percent of your nest egg into single stocks. If you’ve got $50,000 in a 401(k) right now, limit yourself to $5,000 in this area. That way, if the stock tanks and you lose it all, it’s only a small blip on the radar. You’ll still be financially intact and able to retire with dignity.

It would be fantastic if this stock went through the roof and you two made a ton of money. That would be awesome! But make sure you limit the potential for damage by limiting your exposure. Don’t risk the family farm, as they say, to make this play.

To raise or not to raise wages?By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Gap’s deci-sion this week to raise the hourly wages of workers at its stores nationwide puts pres-sure on other major U.S. re-tailers to do the same.

Following Gap’s announce-ment that it will set the mini-mum wage for workers at $9 an hour this year and $10 an hour in 2015, big store chains from Wal-Mart to Sears said Thursday that they will con-tinue to evaluate their wages.

But ultimately, industry watchers say whether they follow Gap’s move will depend greatly on whether or not they decide that they need to in or-der to remain competitive.

“I think more people will wait on the sidelines and not take on additional expenses,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a retail re-search firm. “It’s a gamble on Gap’s part.”

Gap’s move comes at a time when the plight of hourly workers has made headlines. Protests by fast food work-ers asking for higher pay last year in cities across the coun-try made headlines. Several states are considering raising their minimum wages. And

President Barack Obama is endorsing a bill in Congress that includes a proposed in-crease in the federal mini-mum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2016.

There’s no question that whatever the major players in the U.S. retail industry decide to do will have a big impact on the job market. In fact, the in-dustry supports one in every four U.S. jobs, representing about 42 million workers.

Still, the industry has most-ly shunned the idea of higher wages. The National Retail Federation, which represents some of the nation’s largest retailers, is fighting President Obama’s proposal, saying the financial burden could force them to raise prices or reduce workforce.

Indeed, the decision to raise wages is a complex one for stores. Retailers have little wiggle room. To stay com-petitive, experts say retailers have to offer U.S. shoppers the low prices they demand. But to make a profit, they say they must also keep labor costs low.

The issue is highlighted at a time when the industry’s profits are disappointing. Earnings for the fourth quar-ter, which covered the holiday

shopping season, are expected to be down 5 percent com-pared with a year ago – the worst since the second quar-ter of 2009 when that figure was down 6.7 percent, accord-ing to RetailMetrics’ tally of 122 stores.

Gap Inc. has been one of the bright spots in the cloth-ing industry, enjoying a sales turnaround that started in early 2012.

The company owns the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Re-public and Athleta chains and employs 90,000 hourly and sal-aried workers in the U.S.

The nation’s largest cloth-ing chain declined to give an average wage for its employ-ees, but said that the vast majority earn more than the federal minimum wage. The company said the raise will af-fect 65,000 hourly workers.

Gap declined to comment on how much the pay hike will cost it, but said there are no plans for cuts in jobs or store hours or increases in prices to cover the costs.

Nancy Green, general man-ager of Gap’s Athleta brand, told The Associated Press in an interview that she believes some competitors can’t afford to raise wages, but “others will be inspired.”

By 1980, the company had expanded to 22 vans, and peo-ple took note.

“They said, ‘I really like this idea. Build us a van,’” said John Stockman, the com-pany’s national sales manag-er. “Before too long, we sold the grooming business and just went full into building vans.”

Wag’n Tails opened an In-diana facility to build mobile grooming units in the 2000s. As of 2013, the company has supplied more than 2,000 units

to mobile grooming business-es across the country. Today, 22 full-time employees staff its 24,000-square-foot facility in Granger, Ind.

“Basically, we just built the industry,” Stockman said.

That’s not to say all mobile groomers buy from Wag’n Tails. Hogue bought her van used from a Georgia woman leaving the industry. Hughes took over a customized RV when she and her father bought her mobile groom-ing business three years ago. They customized a second RV themselves.

Rachelle Dye, who opened

McHenry-based Pamper Par-lour five years ago, went to Wag’n Tails for her van. It has an in-unit electric generator and a UVC light to sterilize, among other custom features.

“My van is totally self-con-tained,” she said.

Dye, who charges $20 to $25 over an average in-store groomer, said her approach has kept her schedule filled, even – or, especially – during a long, cold winter.

“When it’s negative 10 de-grees outside, they don’t have to get off the couch, I come right to them,” she said. “It’s nice and 75 in my van.”

By BARBARA ORTUTAYThe Associated Press

NEW YORK – The first time I was in the proximity of Google Glass was nearly a year ago at a technology con-ference. The people wearing the device were like cyborg members of an elite club I couldn’t join.

Now, it’s my turn.I picked up my Glass on

Jan. 24 at the Google Glass “base camp,” a bright, airy loft on the eighth floor of Manhattan’s Chelsea Market. The location serves as a prod-uct showroom and a place where users can schedule appointments to learn how to use the device.

Walk in and you are invariably greeted by a smiling receptionist wearing Google Glass. There are Glass displays on the wall, people walking around wearing Glass, and mirrors so you can see what you look like in Glass. There was a steady inflow of Glass newbies like me who were there to pick up their device for the first time or to get help with problems.

I couldn’t help drawing sci-fi and Star Trek comparisons while at the same time feeling like a clumsy luddite for do-ing so. What if this is just how things are going to be?

Glass is still in what Google calls an “explorer” phase, which means it’s not yet available to the general public. That’s coming later this year. For now, it’s an ever-expanding club as more and more people are invited, either by Google or people who already have Glass, to buy one for $1,500.

The thought of buying Glass with my own money never crossed my mind. Rent comes first. Beach vacations second. And despite being a tech reporter, pricey gadgets rarely make it into my top 10.

The Associated Press purchased a pair, and I plan to share my impressions in a series of stories in the coming months. I’m interested in the

device’s technical specifics, but more excited by the idea of exploring the cultural and social reactions to Glass. Will I be embarrassed to wear it in public? Do I look like a jerk? A cyborg? Is it actually less distracting in a conversation than a smartphone, as Glass evangelists insist? Is it really worth a month’s rent?

The first time I saw Glass outside of tech circles was in early January, near my office. Two 20-something guys in skinny jeans were standing in front of me at a crosswalk. The Glass one of them wore was sky blue, and he was nod-ding his head up and down in an exaggerated fashion.

“Okay Glass, what time is it?” he asked. “Okay Glass, what time is it?”

I looked at my iPhone to check the time. The traffic light changed. I wondered if he ever found out what time it was.

I could have opted to have Glass mailed to me, but pick-ing it up at a basecamp meant a friendly Glass-wearing Googler was there explain the basics of setting up and using the device.

Google Glass is meticu-lously packed in a simple, white box that evokes Apple’s clean, Zen-like design sensi-bilities. There are no plastic clamshells or cords dangling everywhere. Lift the lid and you see your Glass covered in translucent parchment paper.

“It will all be OK,” the

package would say if it could talk.

Glass doesn’t mean glasses. The device sits above your eye at roughly brow level, so you gaze up with you right eye to see its tiny screen. My guide showed me how to adjust the nose pads and the screen so looking into it feels a bit like looking into a rearview mirror.

There are three ways to interact with Glass: touch, speak or move. To turn it on, you press a round button that, when you’re wearing the de-vice, sits behind your right ear. Press it again to turn it off.

The screen automati-cally goes to sleep after a few seconds, which makes sense. The device has about 45 minutes of battery life while in continuous use. To wake it up, you can tap the touchpad with your finger or nod your head up and down. Head-nod-ding mystery solved.

My cheerful Glass guide showed me how to connect Glass to my Google account, and walked me through My-Glass, which is basically your Web, Android or iOS portal for the device. It lets you add apps (called “Glassware”), connect to Wi-Fi networks and, in case you misplace your device, see where it is on a map. It all seemed pretty straightforward, and I was eager to get my Glass on my forehead and explore the world through a new lens, so I bid my guide goodbye.

Explore Healthcare Careers Now Unemployment rates may still be high and the oppor-tunities out there in specif-ic careers might be waning, but there is one job sector that may be promising -- healthcare.

Statistics from the U.S. De-partment of Labor indicate that 3.2 million jobs will be created by 2018 in the healthcare industry. Other forecasters say that with an aging population who will provide the demand for healthcare workers, jobs in the health sector make sense as a stable career option. Plus there are more opportu-nities for hire.But what healthcare jobs are out there for those who don’t currently have a medical de-gree nor the time to devote to a long education or much additional schooling? As it turns out, plenty.

• Dental assistant: This career

is one of the fastest-grow-ing careers in healthcare, according to industry ex-perts. While formal school-ing may not be needed and some dentists train on-site, there’s better opportunity for those who have complet-ed a training program. Some dental assistant diploma or certificate programs can be completed in as little as a year. The median expected salary for a typical dental as-sistant in the United States is $32,969.

• Registered nurse: Nurses are often the unsung heroes of the healthcare industry. Though doctors may get all the glory, it’s often nurses who provide the much-need-ed, behind-the-scenes care that complements a doctor’s expertise. Applicants can consider earning a 2-year associates degree in nursing to get started in the field and then continue their educa-

tion and certification as they advance. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary of a reg-istered nurse in the United States is $67,720.

• Pharmacy technician: The world of pharmaceuticals continues to grow. A 2009 story in Forbes magazine indicated that 11.6 prescrip-tions are issued per person in the U.S. each year. West Virgina is the state with the highest number of scripts per capita. With so many prescriptions issued each year, the demand for phar-macy employees is increas-ing. Assistants can generally complete a certificate pro-gram which may be as short as 6 months. Pharmacy techs earn an average salary of $32,600, according to Salary.com.

• Hospice care worker: Wheth-er providing home hospice

care or working in a facility, these workers provide sup-port and assistance to the elderly or individuals with illnesses that restrict their ability to care for them-selves. Hospice care is often end-of-life care and requires a special level of devotion from workers. Depending on the program, a bache-lor’s degree in nursing and a state certification may be all that’s necessary to become a hospice technician. Sala-ries can range from $35,000 to $60,000.

Students who have just be-gun college and are not yet in the job market may want to consider fine tuning their majors to coordinate with a career in healthcare.

HealthcareIN

Jobs in healthcare are predicted to continue to grow for at least the next 6 years.

TODAY - Your intuition and imagination will help you reach the goals you desire. Be assertive and make your ideas known. Don’t wait for others to sing your praises. If you take the initiative and express your plans with confidence, you will have a very successful year.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Travel and education should take top priority today. Delve into difficult cultures or attend a conference or trade show that offers food for thought regarding future projects.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your confident and easygoing nature will attract an interesting friendship. Consider teaching or

lecturing about a skill, knowledge or lifestyle at which you have excelled. Sharing what you know will encourage advancement.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This is not a good time to travel or deal with author-ity figures. Focus on reuniting with relatives or friends whom you haven’t seen for some time, using video chat, email or phone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Some-one close to you will be demanding. Take precautions to ensure that you aren’t taken for granted. You can nurture important relationships without being used emotionally, physically or financially.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t

punish yourself by obsessing about the past. There is nothing you can do to change what has already happened. Save yourself from heartache -- look forward, not back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t get stuck in a routine. Fend off boredom by trying something new. Share your adventure with someone you love. Making plans for the future will give you incentive to change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone close to you is facing a difficult situation. Be prepared to offer assistance. Take care to be especially tactful and sensitive in your approach to avoid causing embarrassment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Prepare for

the unexpected. Don’t get drawn into a power struggle. Visit a friend or take a day trip to avoid a situation at home that could end up being costly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An unusual request may catch you off guard. Perform your duties as instructed and without argument. Maintain a close watch over your financial situation to avoid any unexpected surprises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Refrain from hiding your feelings. Expressing your thoughts clearly will help you avoid a situation that has the potential to escalate, costing you emotionally or financially. Offer

the world honesty and integrity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t

be too hasty choosing a new investment. Remain professional in your financial dealings. Good results will be achieved if you resist acting impulsively. Make choices based on sound facts and figures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Com-mittees are always searching for creative fund-raising ideas and would be very interested to hear your innovative thoughts. Your talents will lead to an offer that could be prosperous.
