Mental Health Board’s way at stake Critics stress importance in filling 4 vacancies By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – The fact that 15 people have applied for four open seats on the McHenry County Mental Health Board is no coincidence to its critics. To Patrick Maynard, president and CEO of Pioneer Center for Human Services, it’s a public cry for more transparency and fiscal accountability from the board

that collects and disburses – and spends – property-tax money. Maynard, who heads the county’s largest social service agency, was one of three speakers who told the McHenry County Board to seize the opportunity for reform. The County Board appoints Mental Health Board members. Critics have alleged over the years that the agency has become a bloated bureaucracy more interested in spending tax

money on itself than doling it out to agencies that work with the mentally disabled, which is what it was created by voters to do. “The community is aware and concerned and wants to see a change,” Maynard told board members last week. The Mental Health Board has heard the complaints before, and Interim Executive Director Todd Schroll stressed Wednesday that the agency is a good and transpar-

ent steward of taxpayer funds. “This is not new. We’ve responded to these comments before,” Schroll said. “My biggest concern is the inaccuracies in some of these.” The County Board’s Public Health and Human Services Committee met Wednesday morning to discuss the process by which to fill the four seats on the nine-member board. Chairwoman Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said she hopes the committee will have recommendations for a full board vote by the end of

February. Two Mental Health Board members stepped down, and two others are reapplying for their seats because their terms have expired. Kurtz, herself a longtime critic of the Mental Health Board’s operations and spending, said the choices made by the sevenmember committee will be important, but declined to comment further to preserve the integrity of the selection process.

Spring Quest for blood is never-ending fiscal Donors sought to overcome shortages born of bad weather, illness, economy fights ahead By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com

It started with a blood drive at a hospital 12 years ago. Tracy Higgins donated blood and from that point on, “It just seemed like the right thing to do,” the 66year-old Crystal Lake resident said. She now donates four to five times a year. “People need to understand how important it is for the hospitals to have a continuous source of good blood,” Higgins said. “People always want to react when there is an emergency, but it is a continual need.” Residents such as Higgins are needed both nationally and locally to make up for a blood shortage caused by unpredictable weather, an early influenza outbreak and a continuing sluggish economy. McHenry County is within the American Red Cross Heart of America blood services region, which encompasses Illinois, eastern Iowa and parts of Missouri. For the past two years, the region had collected about 118,000 pints of blood a year. Blood shortages oc curred after hundreds of blood drives were canceled on the East Coast in November because of superstorm Sandy, said Ben Corey, program manager at the American Red Cross in Peoria. But because of an outpouring of support, the American Red Cross blood

Blood donors are needed locally to ease a shortage. supply quickly was replenished after the storm. Those who donated blood or platelets in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy may be eligible again to give, Corey said. There is a push to donate in January, which is National Blood Donor Month. “National Blood Donor Month comes at an opportune time, as January can be an especially challenging month to collect donations due to inclement weather and seasonal illnesses,” he

said. “Right now, all blood types are needed to maintain a sufficient blood supply.” Blood types O negative and B negative are especially needed because its use in hospitals outpaces donations. In addition, about 44,000 pints of blood are needed each day at hospitals across the United States to treat cancer patients, trauma victims, organ transplant recipients and sickle-cell disease patients, among others.

Red blood cells have a shelf life of 42 days and platelets five days. The recent surge in influenza cases nationally and locally is affecting blood organizations that depend on healthy donors to stay ahead of demand. Flu season typically runs through May, with activity peaking in January and into February, according to the McHenry County Department of Health.

WASHINGTON – Retreating with a purpose, Republicans sped legislation through the House on Wednesday to avert the imminent threat of a government default but pointing the way to a springtime budget struggle with President Barack Obama over Medicare, farm subsidies and other benefit programs. The current legislation, which cleared the House on a bipartisan vote of 285-144, would permit Treasury borrowing to exceed the “debt ceiling” limit of $16.4 trillion through May 18. As it passed, Speaker John Boehner pledged that Republicans would quickly draft a budget that would wipe out deficits in a decade, and he challenged Democrats to do the same. The Democratic-controlled Senate is expected to approve the debt bill as early as Friday or perhaps next week. The White House welcomed the legislation rather than face the threat of a firstever default at the dawn of the president’s second term in the White House, and spokesman Jay Carney pointedly noted a “fundamental change” in strategy by the GOP.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

For this political race, I’ll wear boots Now the only people who still might believe McHenry County Undersheriff Andrew Zinke tanked a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency operation by tipping his close friend and campaign contributor to an investigation into marijuana shipping are a handful of fools. There are fools among us and we suffer them gladly, but usually not enough of them to seriously affect an election. P.T Barnum said there’s a sucker born every minute, but when he said it, they didn’t all have Internet access, blogs and email addresses. If there’s still a cloud hanging over Zinke with regard to this matter, what else can we tell you? Strike 1: A judge wouldn’t appoint a special prosecutor because he couldn’t even find a crime alleged. Taxpayers breathed a sigh of relief and put away their checkbooks. Strike 2: McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, no friend of Zinke or Sheriff Keith Nygren,

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Kevin Lyons couldn’t find a crime based on his investigation, yet tried as he could to keep a cloud over Zinke by offering a vague statement that allowed some to linger in conspiracies or believe in vampires and werewolves if they so chose. Strike 3: Nygren conducted his own internal investigation. Las Vegas bookmakers were laying odds of 40-1 against Nygren finding some impropriety conducted by Zinke. The house always wins. In the meantime, the entire episode was embarrassing for Zinke, for Rita Corp. business owner Brian Goode, who wasn’t running for anything and deserved none of it, and ultimately for McHenry County Sgt. John Koziol and sheriff’s candidate

James Harrison, who still hasn’t publicly admitted his role in the allegations, which should be fairly clear now. The DEA itself has been fairly mute on the subject other than to say through intermediaries conducting their own investigation that they didn’t take issue with Zinke telling Goode about its investigation into trucks carrying tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana. Manifests on those trucks found in Texas allegedly included Rita Corp. as one of their shipping destinations. It’s not unusual for DEA officials not to sit down and chat with local agencies or reporters for that matter about the inner workings of their probes, and it’s safe to assume that they want no part of the snake den that is McHenry County politics. They’re after real bad guys, not imaginary ones. Some will still try to use these allegations against Zinke, but the only

literate people who will cling to them will be those who never planned to vote for Zinke or those who are actively working for another candidate. This election, which so far includes Zinke, Harrison, a employment lawyer and former deputy, and retired Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Bill Prim, is still more than a year away. And that’s just the primary. There are real issues to consider, policy matters to debate, legitimate law enforcement maters and leadership questions that should be discussed. It would be great if we could focus on those kinds of things when we get closer to the primary. In the meantime, I’m putting my boots on because there’s no telling what we’ll have to wade through next.

8WATER COOLER Austin SUV test drive turns into drug deal AUSTIN, Texas – A man who took a $40,000 SUV on an unauthorized test drive in Texas has been accused of selling the vehicle for drugs. Travis County Jail records showed 50-year-old Carlos Sergio Valdes was being held last week on a theft charge. The Austin American-Statesman reported that Valdes sought to test drive a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe on Jan. 12 and drove away without permission. An affidavit says Valdes called police two hours later to claim it had been stolen. Police pulled over a woman driving the SUV. She said Valdes sold her the car in exchange for crack cocaine.

jarring in statehouses dominated by conservative Republicans, who aggressively cut welfare programs but now find themselves in a crosscurrent of pressures involving gun control, public safety and health care for millions of disadvantaged Americans. In many states, lawmakers have begun to recognize that their cuts “may have gone too deep,” said Shelley Chandler, executive director of the Iowa Alliance of Community Providers. “People start talking

when there’s a crisis.” About 30 states have reduced mental health spending since 2008, when revenues were in steep decline, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In a third of those states, the cuts surpassed 10 percent. As a result, nine state-run psychiatric hospitals were closed and 3,200 other beds for mental health patients were eliminated, dramatically reducing treatment options for the poor and people in

the criminal-justice system. Thousands of patients were turned onto the streets. Making matters worse, the cuts came as unemployment was rising, causing more people to lose private insurance and forcing them to shift to public assistance. The steepest drop by percentage was in South Carolina, where spending fell by nearly 40 percent over four years – an amount that Republican Gov. Nikki Haley has called “absolutely immoral.”

8BRIEFS Victims of high-rise fire helped rescue woman CHICAGO – Two men killed in a fire at a high-rise building on Chicago’s South Side helped rescue an elderly woman and tried to stop the blaze. The Cook County medical examiner identified the victims as John Fasula, 50, and Jameel Johnson, who was in his 30s. Authorities and relatives said both men were working in the building. They went to assist a resident in her 70s after hearing her screaming. Authorities said they got her to an elevator and sent her down to the lobby. The two men, meanwhile, used fire extinguishers to try to put out the blaze. Both suffered smoke inhalation and were pronounced dead at hospitals.

Bank robber pleads not guilty to jail escape CHICAGO – A bank robber has pleaded not guilty to an escape charge a month after he and a cellmate broke out of Chicago’s high-rise Metropolitan Correctional Center. Kenneth Conley’s lawyer entered the plea at a Wednesday arraignment. Dressed in orange jail clothing, Conley sat in a wheelchair with a leg he injured during his escape in a brace. Prosecutors say he and Jose Banks scaled down nearly 20 stories using a makeshift rope on Dec. 18. Banks was caught two days later. Conley, 38, eluded capture until Jan. 4.

White House: NATO nomination to go ahead WASHINGTON – The White House said Wednesday it will go ahead with Gen. John Allen’s nomination to become commander of NATO forces in Europe, following his exoneration in a Pentagon investigation of questionable email exchanges with a Florida woman linked to the sex scandal that led David Petraeus to resign as CIA director. If confirmed by the Senate, Allen would succeed Navy Adm. James Stavridis in the NATO post. Allen is due to leave his position as commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan on Feb. 10.

Unions suffer sharp decline in membership WASHINGTON – Union membership plummeted last year to the lowest level since the 1930s as cash-strapped state and local governments shed workers and unions had difficulty organizing new members in the private sector despite signs of an improving economy. Government figures released Wednesday showed union membership declined from 11.8 percent to 11.3 percent of the workforce, another blow to a labor movement already stretched thin by battles in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and other states. Overall membership fell by about 400,000 workers to 14.4 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

General vows to curb Air Force sex assaults WASHINGTON – Likening sexual assault in the Air Force’s ranks to a cancer, the service’s top officer resolved Wednesday to tackle the problem by screening personnel more carefully and putting an end to bad behaviors, such as binge drinking, that can lead to misconduct. But Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, underscored the challenge by telling a House oversight committee that the service had a disturbing number of reports of sexual assault last year even as it worked to curb misconduct after a sex scandal at its training headquarters in Texas. Dozens of young female recruits and airmen at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio were victimized by instructors who harassed, improperly touched or raped them.

STATE & NATION

Clinton takes on lawmakers on Libya The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered fiery rejoinders Wednesday to Republican critics of the Obama administration’s handling of the deadly attack on a U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, facing off with lawmakers who included potential 2016 presidential rivals. At times emotional and frequently combative, Clinton rejected GOP suggestions in two congressional hearings that the administration tried to mislead the country about the Sept. 11 attack that

killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans. She insisted the State Department is moving swiftly and aggressively to strengthen security at diplomatic posts worldwide. In her last formal testimony before Congress as America’s top diplomat – but perhaps not her last time on the political stage – Clinton once again took responsibility for the department’s missteps and failures leading up to the assault. But she also said that requests for more security at the diplomatic mission in Benghazi didn’t reach her

desk, and reminded lawmakers that they have a responsibility to fund security-related budget requests. Three weeks after her release from a New York hospital – admitted for complications after a concussion – Clinton was at times defiant, Hillary complimenRodham tary and willClinton ing to chastise lawmakers during more than 5½ hours of testimony before two separate committees. She tangled with some who could

be rivals in 2016 if she decides to seek the presidency again. Her voice cracking at one point, Clinton said the attack and the aftermath were highly personal tragedies for the families of the victims who died – Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty – as well as herself. “I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters and the wives left alone to raise their children,” she told the Senate Foreign Relations

Deep freeze to continue in East By CLARKE CANFIELD The Associated Press PORTLAND, Maine – A teeth-chattering cold wave with subzero temperatures is expected to keep its icy grip on much of the eastern U.S. into the weekend before seasonable temperatures bring relief. A polar air mass blamed for multiple deaths in the Midwest moved into the Northeast on Wednesday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue wind chill warnings across upstate New York and northern New England and creating problems for people still trying to rebound from superstorm Sandy. In a storm-damaged neighborhood near the beach on New York City’s Staten Island, people who haven’t had heat in their homes since the late October storm took refuge in tents set up by aid workers. The tents were equipped with propane heaters, which were barely keeping up with the cold, and workers were providing sleeping bags and blankets for warmth. Eddie Saman is sleeping in one of the tents because the gaping hole in the roof of his home has rendered it uninhabitable. Heat has been restored to the house, but much of it escapes through

Supreme Court rejects atheist’s cross appeal The ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS – The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a Chicago-area atheist’s final appeal in his lawsuit challenging the use of state funds to renovate an 11-story cross on southern Illinois’ tallest peak, ending a legal dispute of more than two years. The nation’s high court

on Tuesday declined without comment to review Robert Sherman’s request to hear his case involving the $20,000 grant given in 2008 to the 111foot-high Bald Knob Cross of Peace near Alto Pass. Lower courts already had ruled that Sherman lacked standing to sue over the grant. Sherman sued in August 2010, arguing that efforts to

Committee at a packed hearing. Clearly annoyed with Republican complaints about the initial explanation for the attack, she rose to the defense of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who was vilified for widely debunked claims five days after the attack that protests precipitated the raid rather than terrorism. Clinton said, “People were trying in real time to get to the best information.” And she said her own focus was on looking ahead on how to improve security rather than revisiting the talking points and Rice’s comments.

so firefighters could seek relief from the cold. City crews also are working to salt the roads around the building to help deal with a build-up of ice. More than 170 firefighters responded to the five-alarm blaze about 9 p.m. Tuesday, and many were still working to extinguish the fire Wednesday morning. Stewart said one firefighter suffered a minor injury. There’s no word yet on what caused the fire.

Sherman insisted that the

grant was a legislative earmark – not a discretionary allocation from the executive branch – and therefore violated the First Amendment’s prohibition against the establishment of religion. Marcelyn Love, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, declined to comment.

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is lifting its ban on women serving in combat, opening hundreds of thousands of front-line positions and potentially elite commando jobs after generations of limits on their service, defense officials said Wednesday. The changes, set to be announced today by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, will not happen overnight. The services must now develop plans for allowing women to seek the combat positions, a senior military official said. Some jobs may open as soon as this year, while assessments for others, such as special operations forces, including Navy SEALS and the Army’s Delta Force, may take longer. The services also will have until January 2016 to make a case to that some positions should remain closed to women. The groundbreaking move recommended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units. Officials briefed The Associated Press on condition of anonymity so they could speak ahead of the official announcement. There long has been opposition to putting women in combat, based on questions of whether they have the necessary strength and stamina for certain jobs, or whether their presence might hurt unit cohesion. But as news of Panetta’s expected order got out, members of Congress, including the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, DMich., announced their support. “It reflects the reality of 21st century military operations,” Levin said. The new order opens about 14,500 combat positions to women, nearly all of them in the Army. Panetta’s decision could open more than 230,000 jobs, many in Army and Marine infantry units, to women.

He was charged after For the record a routine audit of the evidence With this week’s plea, there locker revealed is no good reason to keep missing money. the findings of an audit of Shortly after McHenry’s evidence locker the charges were sealed. filed, the city of McHenry hired an independent agency to conduct a more thorough audit of the police department’s evidence and property control system. After the audit, we learned that eight pending criminal cases might be affected by Hojnacki’s alleged interference with evidence. Separately, the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office sent a letter to the then-president of the McHenry County Bar Association, notifying her of potential evidentiary problems related to all McHenry Police Department arrests, including drug cases. The letter said that authorities had reason to believe Hojnacki opened sealed evidence bags and removed narcotics. At the request of Hojnacki’s defense attorneys, now-retired Judge Joseph Condon issued a gag order on all parties to the case. Condon also denied the Northwest Herald’s request under the Freedom of Information Act for a copy of the independent audit report. In sealing the audit, Condon essentially said that its public release could hinder Hojnacki’s right to a fair trial. Now that Hojnacki has pleaded guilty, there is no reason to keep the report sealed. We asked again for a copy of it on Tuesday but were denied by Judge Sharon Prather, who is presiding after Condon’s retirement. She said she would reconsider after the sentencing hearing. Too often in McHenry County, it seems to us, judges are quick to seal information from the public eye, even if there’s a compelling public interest in the information. Taxpayers paid for the audit, and pay the salaries of the police department. They have a right to know the details of this audit. With Hojnacki’s guilty plea, there’s no good reason to continue hiding it. Let the public see the audit.

Not shocked Forgive us if we feel a little bit like Capt. Louis Renault, a character from the film “Casablanca.” Renault was in the process of closing down Rick’s Cafe Americain, a nightclub and gambling parlor in the 1942 film, when owner Rick Blaine asks the Vichy officer what grounds he has to close the bar. Renault’s answer: “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.” He then thanks the croupier, who has handed him his winnings. The mock surprise displayed by Renault is similar to our reaction to last week’s news that Lance Armstrong, the world’s most famous bicyclist, had finally confessed that the longstanding rumors he had used performance enhancers were true. It is somewhat fitting that Armstrong’s revelations come shortly after the Baseball Hall of Fame failed to elect a single member to its Class of 2013. Herald-Star, Steubenville, Ohio

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Be prepared To the Editor: After experiencing a home break-in and burglary, and after the hassle to get everything together for the insurance company and police, I came up with this idea. Take a photo of all your valuable possessions, tools, electronics, etc., then have the photos made into 4-by-6-inch prints. On the back side of the prints, write down the make-model-serial number-and /or size, cost and purchase date. Then put the pictures in a safe deposit box or safe. In the event of fire or theft, you have all documentation for the insurance company and police. Robert J. Moty Crystal Lake

Eventual confiscation To the Editor: Facing the largest firearm confiscation attempt in history by corrupt politicians, Great Britain and Russia are urging Americans not to give up their guns. Since the election, firearms and ammunition sales have exploded. Merchants say they’ve never seen anything like this. Two presidents in our history said publicly that the Constitution is an obstruction. That was Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and voters picked this socialist, a man contrary to our republic, freedoms and capitalism. Is anyone surprised at the Democrats’ latest attempt at seizure of our arms? This is what they’ve longed for, along with their comrades at the United Nations. Rhetoric vomited from the socialists and media, “Let’s have reasonable restrictions.” This strategy leads to eventual confiscation.

Let’ s not be stupid, people. Resist this. Do not register or relinquish your firearms. Purchase your battle rifle and ammo now. Hound your representatives. Erik Christian Algonquin

Some sense To the Editor: Re: LaVonne Mittenmeyer’s letter of Jan. 7. I heartily agree with her, and I congratulate her for speaking up. I have long wondered why 99 percent of letters screaming about how terrible abortion is are written by men. Are they so proud of themselves having produced another child? And now, men, take care of them, love them, raise them properly, and secure their well-being. And take care of “mother” at the same time. Do not deny an abortion to anyone. You can be sure that child will have a hard life. When there are no more children unloved, neglected, thrown away, then speak to me about abortion. Until then, let’s get some sense about it all.

Lower tax bill To the Editor: A back-door tax hike is in store for homeowners if the McHenry High School referendum passes. A “no” vote on the District 156 referendum in the April election will result in a lower tax bill. School administrators and board members quietly have scheduled a $2.12 million referendum for the April 9 election. If the referendum fails, a $2.2 million in tax savings from refinancing $29 million of

district bonds will go to lower the property-tax bills of district homeowners. If the referendum passes, the $2.2 million of tax savings will be spent by district administrators and board members. Less than 15 percent of voters are expected to vote in the April election. Administrators and board members count on low voter turnout to pass their referendums. Homeowners, if you want lower tax bills, you must act now. Contact your friends and neighbors and get them to the polls on April 9 to vote no. This is a rare and golden opportunity to lower your tax bill. Donald Clausen McHenry

Huntley High show To the Editor: The Huntley High School Fine Arts Boosters have a strong tradition of bringing quality entertainment to the high school performing arts center stage.

To the Editor: Occasionally, I go with my friend to signings, where she gets jerseys, footballs and such signed by professional athletes. Too often, the athlete seems less than happy to be there. However, recently we went to Sports-4-Less in McHenry where Charles “Peanut” Tillman was doing a signing. He smiled, goofed around a bit with the kids, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. What a class act! Thanks, Peanut and Sports-4-Less, for bringing this nice guy to town. Deana Nordengren McHenry

Reeder: Taxpayers feel the pinch, as Illinois keeps spending

SPRINGFIELD – Is your wallet a little thinner these days? More than likely, the state of Illinois is to blame. About the same time the Illinois Legislature jacked up income taxes 67 percent two years ago, the federal government gave us a temporary break on how much we pay into Social Security. That cut inadvertently softened the wallop of the state tax increase, but the relief from Washington expired at the beginning of this year. Now we get to experience the state tax increase in all of its glory. Bureaucrats in Springfield are sucking away one extra week of our pay. And to what end? The state is still broke. The pension system is foundering. Government employee unions’ hunger for

more dollars remains as voracious as ever. Illinois revenues have never been higher in the Land of Lincoln’s 190-year history. But our politicians are still crying poor. Why? Because they are still spending money faster than they are taking it in. Rather than curbing the spending, they’re laying the groundwork for another tax hike. Advocates are calling it “progressive” tax reform. Never mind that that the Illinois Constitution prohibits a graduated income tax rate; proponents are prepared to change the constitution. Just last week, state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-Champaign, introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to do just that. The underlying reason for the proposed switch is a desire for the state to col-

VIEWS Scott Reeder lect more money. You’ll hear some malarkey that a progressive income tax only will make the “rich” pay more. To see just how wrong that thinking is, just look to our neighbor to the west – Iowa. Over in the Tall Corn State, the top income tax rate is 8.98 percent. And the people who paid that rate in 2012 earned $66,105 or more. Does anybody think that a family living on $66,000 is rich? And yes, I’m aware that the Illinois Legislature could choose a different income level than Iowa to

start taxing at the top rate. But the fact of the matter is that 31 of the 34 states that have a progressive structure tax $50,000 at a higher marginal rate than Illinois will in 2015. The question remains: Why increase taxes at all when state revenues are at an all-time high? “I don’t support a progressive tax because we already have enough money coming in,” said Rep. David Harris, R-Arlington Heights. “We need to look at spending … and the place to start is pensions.” Year after year, decade after decade, the Illinois Legislature has refused to institute comprehensive pension reform. Each year we keep dumping more money into our failing pension systems. Next year, for example, the state will allocate $6.8 billion toward pen-

sions – almost $1 billion more than this year. The state continues to pay its bills months late. And even as spending increases, core government services are being cut. Our governor and Legislature seem unable to set priorities or make tough decisions. Why give them more money? Illinois’ problem is that it is spending too much. And every working Illinoisan is feeling the pinch because of it.

Peace hopes rise Several agencies have criticized use of tax on Israeli election • MENTAL HEALTH

Continued from page A1

Centrist party makes big gains The ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM – The unexpectedly strong showing by a new centrist party in Israel’s parliamentary election has raised hopes of a revival of peace talks with Palestinians that have languished for four years under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Political newcomer Yair Lapid, the surprise kingmaker, already is being courted by a weakened Netanyahu, who needs his support to form a ruling coalition. Lapid has said he will not sit in the government unless the peace process is restarted. But following a campaign in which the Palestinian issue was largely ignored, it remains unclear how hard Lapid will push the issue in what could be weeks of coalition talks with Netanyahu. Tuesday’s election ended in a deadlock, with Netanyahu’s hard-line religious bloc

of allies and the rival bloc of centrist, secular and Arab parties each with 60 seats, according to near-complete official results. Opinion polls had all forecast a majority of seats going to the right-wing bloc. While Netanyahu, as head of the largest single party in parliament, is poised to remain prime minister, it appears impossible for him to cobble together a majority coalition without reaching across the aisle. Lapid, whose Yesh Atid – or There is a Future – captured 19 seats, putting it in second place, is the most likely candidate to join him. In a gesture to Netanyahu, Lapid said there would not be a “blocking majority,” in which opposition parties prevent the prime minister from forming a government. The comment virtually guarantees that Netanyahu will be prime minister, with Lapid a major partner. Netanyahu said Wednesday he would work to create a wide coalition stretching across the political divide.

8BRIEFS Hate crimes, murder alleged in basement case PHILADELPHIA – A paroled killer targeted mentally disabled adults in a scheme to steal their Social Security benefits, confining them like “zoo animals,” forcing some into prostitution and causing the deaths of two victims through abuse and neglect, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. Linda Weston, 52, of Philadelphia, was indicted on charges including hate crimes, kidnapping, murder in aid of racketeering and forced human labor. It’s the first time the federal hate crimes statute has been used to protect the disabled, authorities said. The case came to light in October 2011 after a landlord discovered four victims locked in the basement of a Philadelphia apartment building.

Sheriff: Second suspect possible in college attack HOUSTON – A second suspect may emerge in the aftermath of the shooting at a Houston-area community college that left three people injured, the Harris County sheriff said Wednesday.

At least 10 shots were fired Tuesday during a dispute between two men outside the library at the North Harris campus of Lone Star College, Sheriff Adrian Garcia said. Carlton Berry, 22, is charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Garcia offered no additional details on the role of a possible second suspect.

Jordanians vote for newly empowered parliament AMMAN, Jordan – Jordanians voted Wednesday for a parliament with wider authority, as the king cedes some of his powers to try to prevent simmering dissent from boiling over into a full blown Arab Spring uprising. The new legislature will choose the prime minister and run day-to-day affairs, powers that used to reside with King Abdullah II. Foreign policy and security matters remain in the hands of the king. Abdullah has introduced the reforms in a measured manner, trying to manage the pace of change in Jordan.

House hopes to force Senate to act on budget • FISCAL

Continued from page A1

House Republicans cast the bill as a way to force the Senate to draft a budget for the first time in four years, noting that if either house fails to do so, its members’ pay would be withheld. They called the bill “no budget, no pay,’” a slogan if not a statement of fact, since lawmakers would be entitled to collect their entire salaries at the end of the Congress with or without a budget in place. With polls showing their public support eroding, the Republicans jettisoned, for now at least, an earlier insistence that they would allow no additional borrowing unless Obama and the Democrats agreed to dollar-for-dollar federal spending cuts in exchange. The average American family “can’t buy everything they want every day; they have to make tough choices. It’s time to make Congress make the same choices,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., underscoring the new Republican rallying cry. Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin lawmaker who will be responsible for drafting the budget for Republicans, said Congress has “a moral obligation” to prevent a debt crisis that he said will hit hardest

at seniors and others who depend on government the most. As chairman of the House Budget Committee, Ryan will take the lead role in crafting a blueprint expected to rely heavily on savings from benefit programs. The budget he wrote last year before being picked as the party’s vice presidential candidate was to take two decades to achieve balance. Ryan’s 10-year-budget task will be eased in part by higher tax revenues resulting from the Jan. 1 expiration of a twoyear payroll tax cut, and in part from an anticipated $600 billion generated by raising rates on upper incomes. But given the sheer size of annual deficits in the $1 trillion range, it will be impossible to meet his goal without taking large savings from benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, farm and student loan subsidies, the federal retirement program and more. House Democrats made no attempt to defend the Senate’s failure to draft a budget over the past three years, instead saying a mere four-month extension in the debt limit would not give business and the financial markets the certainty that is necessary for the economy to grow more quickly.

“I don’t think there’s anything more important than selecting people who can allocate $13 million in discretionary funds in an equitable manner that best meets the needs of our mental health community,” Kurtz said. The Mental Health Board vacancies come at a time of significant change of leadership. The board announced in August that it was losing three of its top administrative leaders. Executive Director Sandy Lewis left Nov. 9 to become an assistant professor of psychiatry and executive director of a children’s mental health center at Virginia Commonwealth University. When it announced Lewis’ departure in August, the board also announced the retirements of Deputy Director Bob Lesser and Clinical Director Liz Doyle. McHenry-based Pioneer Center is one of several agencies in recent years that have criticized how the Mental Health Board spends money it gets from a special countywide property tax. Homeowners pay about 14.4 cents per $100 in assessed valuation to fund the board, or about $87 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home who takes the homestead exemp-

tion. A Jan. 13 financial report showed that while the Mental Health Board doled out $8.7 million to social service agencies in fiscal 2012, it kept more than $4.4 million for itself – one-third Donna Kurtz of its $13.1 million in revenue from taxes, Medicaid and other sources. Schroll’s comment about inaccuracies stemmed from critics who have alleged that the board spends about half of its revenue internally. Its 2011 annual report put the actual amount spent on administrative costs at about 6 percent, Schroll said. “The majority of our money is going out to our local partners, and it’s going directly to local consumers of mental health services,” Schroll said. Client agencies have criticized Mental Health Board decisions such as spending $4 million to almost triple the size of its Crystal Lake headquarters at a time when social service agencies are struggling because of a sluggish economy and state government owing billions statewide in unpaid bills. The county’s largest mental health service provider, Family Service and Community Mental Health Center,

collapsed last year under financial strain. Ron McHone, a Crystal Lake certified public accountant and concerned taxpayer, was one of several speakers who pointed Family Service’s fate out to the County Board. “In the last year, there has been a collapse of the biggest treatment agency in the county while at the same time the Mental Health Board has built a huge complex that is staffed by over 38 employees who do not provide treatment services,” McHone said. Maynard said the size of the Mental Health Board’s staff is two to three times that of similar boards statewide. Thirty-three employees are listed on the Mental Health Board’s website – the number had been closer to 50, but employees were let go as of this fiscal year with the end of a federal grant and reassessment of administrative roles, Schroll said. But critics have questioned the Mental Health Board on other, smaller expenses. Lewis’ departure as executive director was announced shortly after she received her doctorate from the George Williams College of Education at Aurora University, for which the board paid at least $30,000 in tuition and expenses, according to bills obtained under the Illinois

Freedom of Information Act. The board late last year also entered into a contract with Virginia Commonwealth University, her new employer, to pay $150 an hour, not to exceed $15,000, to consult Lewis regarding finding a successor, according to a copy of the agreement obtained under FOIA. The timing of this latest debate over the Mental Health Board may have political consequences, as well. McHenry County voters will be asked in the April 9 election to create another board and tax levy to fund agencies serving people with developmental disabilities. Supporters of creating a “377 Board” have stressed that they intend to keep overhead as low as possible should voters approve the referendum. Maynard, whose Pioneer Center supports the referendum, said this is an important distinction. “I think that’s the one thing the 377 initiative has to clearly say – this is totally separate,” Maynard said. The County Board has one voting seat on the Mental Health Board. The County Board earlier this month appointed member Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills, as its liaison. Her predecessor lost her 2012 re-election bid. The Mental Health Board hopes to appoint Lewis’ successor by March.

Flu cases have big effect on blood donations • BLOOD

Upcoming blood drives

Continued from page A1 Since the end of December, 11 people with the flu have been hospitalized in area intensive care units. Local hospital emergency departments also have seen a sharp increase in influenza-like illness, reporting 21 cases in November, 102 cases in December and 53 cases the first week of January. The Rock River Valley Blood Center depends on donors from Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle and Stephenson counties, as well as Rock County, Wis. The organization took in 24 percent less in blood in December than it did in December 2011, and 3 percent less in platelets. “It’s a very challenging time because of inclement weather, the flu season and a demographic in this area that heads south for the winter,” said Jennifer Bowman, spokeswoman for Rock River Valley. Officials fear that as more local businesses are faced with employees ill with the flu, they will be less likely to host blood drives, Bowman said. Snow days at local schools also affect supply because high school blood drives represent 10 percent of the organization’s supply. Heartland Blood Centers, which serves 47 hospitals in

WIS. WOMAN HURT IN CRASH

ALGONQUIN – A woman was hospitalized with serious injuries Wednesday in a crash near Biaggi’s restaurant on Randall Road, police said. Elizabeth Weaver, 35, of Fontana, Wis., was alone and driving a 2001 Mercury Sable north on Randall about 11:35 a.m. She crossed into the southbound lanes and crashed into a light pole, a small tree and the Biaggi’s sign, Algonquin Deputy Chief Steve Kuzynowski said. Why she crossed into the southbound lanes is unknown, Kuzynowski said. The crash remains under investigation. Weaver was taken to Sherman Hospital in Elgin with serious injuries, Kuzynowski said.

8ENVIRONMENT TIP

EFFICIENCY KEY IN FURNACE CHOICE

Thinking it might be time for a new furnace? Home heating and cooling systems typically last 15 years. Because heating and cooling technologies improve over time, a new system with more energyefficient equipment makes sense, especially if your system is 10 or more years old. If your system has reached a critical age, ask an ACCA contractor for advice. ACCA stands for Air Conditioning Contractors of America. The contractor can estimate the cost of a new system and provide a payback schedule showing how newer technology will pay you back the cost in lower energy use. Buying better can mean the difference between spending more now to save later in money, energy and environmental impact.

Huntley courts seniors complex

First vote today on medical care to independent-living campus By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – A Chicago health care and senior living company is looking to develop a multimillion-dollar campus near Huntley’s Regency Square to serve the nearby Sun City population. The Alden Network’s proposed 13-acre develop-

ment would include a 50-bed memory care facility, a 100bed nursing and rehab building, and nearly 100 units for independent, senior living. Conceptual designs are set to be approved by the Village Board today. All told, the campus contains six buildings – 201,600 square feet – at the northwest corner of Regency Parkway

and Princeton Drive. The project is expected to create 200 permanent jobs for Huntley. “It gives all the Sun City residents, who are maturing into a time where they need assisted living, another option,” said Trustee Harry Leopold, who also lives in the Del Webb retirement community.

Alden Network operates similar facilities in Wisconsin and Des Plaines, Naperville and Aurora in the Chicago area. If approved, developers will meet with the Plan Commission to create more detailed designs before getting final Village Board approval later this year. The group also will need a

ALGONQUIN – Village officials are planning $12 million of infrastructure work in the next fiscal year, which begins in May. The administration this week began rolling out its budget plan for fiscal 2013-14, which includes work on three miles of road. It plans $2.5 million in water and sewer improvements, including water main replacement in the Indian Grove subdivision, and water and sewer installation for the Algonquin Western Bypass. The Indian Grove subdivision road reconstruction and water main improvement was planned for last year but was delayed by redesign to minimize the loss of trees in the area. “Hopefully it’s a long-term investment [residents] will appreciate,” said Mike Kumbera, assistant to the village manager. This summer, the village plans to reconstruct 2.06 miles of street in the Fieldcrest Farms subdivision. Work is planned for Aberdeen Drive, Briarwood Lane, Arquilla Drive, Barrington Court, Farmhill Court, Farmhill Drive, Fieldcrest Drive, Preston Court, Preston Street and Tallgrass Court. Road reconstruction work also is scheduled for the Highlands of Algonquin area. That will include Glengarry Court, Interloch Court and St. Andrews Court. In conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the village plans to build a quarter-mile-long sidewalk on Main Street between Beach Drive and La Fox River Drive. The plan also calls for resurfacing by the village Public Works Department in the

Nippersink District 2 debating tax abatement By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – As the Nippersink District 2 school board weighed whether to issue a tax abatement, discussion centered on whether the district could afford to give back money and still meet all of its goals. It can, Superintendent Dan Oest said. But board member Mindy Ross said she still isn’t comfortable and that she wants to know what “all” means when some members said they think the district can “do it all.”

She pointed to maintenance projects such as security upgrades, replacing doors and sinks, and replacing some ventilation systems to include air conditioning. Ross said the list “may only be scratching the surface,” adding that it doesn’t address the district’s technology goals. The projects add up to about $800,000, board Secretary Pierre Langlois said. There is more than $1 million in the operations and maintenance fund, board member Sue Maurer said. The district has $10.4 mil-

lion in reserve, Maurer said, and has suggested a $3 million abatement. She is not, however, stuck on that number, she said. Other board members and parents who spoke at the meeting addressed security concerns and bringing back the foreign language program and other curriculum improvements. The district is addressing some such concerns. A survey will go out to staff and parents to gauge interest in a foreign language program and at what grade level it should be

started. D-2 also has been researching the cost of security improvements, Oest said. The board has been working to bring back some programs that were cut when the district was in financial straits. It was about $2.1 million in debt in 2004, according to records. Board member Matt Johnson agreed with Ross in that he, too, would like to see a more comprehensive plan. Ross also proposed a facilities audit to get a better picture

JOHNSBURG: ELECTION

ADVERT฀SEMENT

Choosing village clerk won’t be on April ballot By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com

JOHNSBURG – Johnsburg voters won’t decide whether their village clerk should be elected. The Johnsburg Village Board voted, 4-3, at a special meeting Sunday morning against putting the question on the April 9 ballot. The village president, Ed Hettermann, broke a tie vote. Much of the discussion centered on the legality of placing the question on the ballot, said Trustee Ron Zanko, who voted for the ordinance. When Johnsburg resident and village president candidate Maggie Haney first raised the issue at the Jan. 8 board meeting, Village Attorney Michael Smoron said he didn’t think the board had the authority to put the measure on the ballot by itself. He said residents could petition

it on to the ballot, and, with research, has maintained that position since. But Haney has been doing research of her own. She points to the Illinois Constitution, which lays out the powers of municipalities and in particular says that municipalities can by referendum decide the manner of selection and term length of its officers. It also states that referendums can be placed on the ballot two ways, voter-initiated petitions or a resolution adopted by the local governing board. Haney is the president of Haney Construction, which primarily works in remodeling. She is studying to become a registered medical assistant. Smoron provided case law to the board showing that when a discrepancy exists between Illinois Municipal Code

and the state Constitution, the court has gone with the code, according to a news release from the village. Hettermann, the village president, was joined by Trustees John Huemann, Kevin McEvoy and Mary Lou Hutchinson in voting down the measure. Hettermann said that because the clerk’s position couldn’t be voted on until 2017, there will be plenty of other opportunities to get the question on the ballot. Unless something changes – Haney has vowed to bring up the issue again if she wins her bid for village president – the duties of village clerk will continue to be managed by Village Administrator Claudett Peters. Peters takes minutes at meetings, with assistance from other employees, signs paperwork and has election duties.

LOCAL&REGION McHENRY: TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Culinary creation

D-156 board to review phone service proposal By JANE HUH jhuh@shawmedia.com

Daisy Girl Scout Evie Howell carries her personal cheese pizza to the oven to be baked Wednesday at Jimano’s Pizzeria in Fox River Grove. The girls from Girl Scout troop 1206 from Cary went to the pizza shop to learn about making pizza. Each girl went home with her own pizza creation.

McHENRY – The District 156 school board is expected to approve a telecommunication service proposal when it meets Feb. 5. The district faces a midFebruary deadline to apply to the Federal Communications Commission for 50 percent reimbursement for telecommunications and Internet access under the e-rate program. The program bases the reimbursement rate on the district’s percentage of lowincome students.

The board is “trying to be as responsible as possible with the costs,” said board President Chad Mihevc said. At Tuesday’s special meeting, the board held off approval of the administration’s plan and directed staff to continue to look for further cuts, board member Tim Byers said. Officials plan to seek bids before March for school telecommunications and Internet technology services. The board directed the staff to continue evaluating how many administrators and staff members absolute-

ly need district phones and whether the district should “give them stipends as reimbursement” for using their personal phones. “In today’s age, we really need to have people reachable at all times if there’s a incident,” Mihevc said. Currently, the district provides designated employees with 14 basic phones and 19 smartphones, said Joe Zelek, director of network technology services. For 2011, the district spent $19,340 for phone and data usage. It was reimbursed $6,480.

Her favorite TV shows were “NCIS,” “Sex in the City” and “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” which she could tell you all about in great detail in her later years.

In Crystal Lake, McNally noted that the cultural experience was equally important for her students. “[Our students] don’t get exposed to a lot of diversity,” McNally said. “Being able to compete with an inner-city school … it’s a good social studies experience. Some of them have never been outside of Crystal Lake. It’s a good way to experience other cultures without having to leave the building.” Behind the Cranium CoRE software is Andy Larson, who co-founded the technology and was at Hannah Beardsley to facilitate the competition. “My mission is to get kids to love to read as much as they do anything,” Larson said. “We’re using technology in kind of a bait-andswitch way to pull them into the text.” Larson and his partner,

R.J. Lindelof, have been implementing their learning software in schools from Illinois to Florida. Larson’s mission was to create the “Facebook of literature,” connecting students’ passion for technology and the need to create engaged readers. “Things like TV and video games aren’t challenging to the brain,” Larson said. “They make you a passive participant rather than an active participant. So all I tried to do is take a TV game show idea and add clickers to draw them in.” “It was actually pretty cool,” Evergreen student Destiny Ibarra said. “It made the class more exciting because we were competing with the other school. It was awesome to see them.” And as far as beating the school from Crystal Lake? “It makes the students feel really proud,” Destiny said.

Village hopes to add permeable paver lot at Kelliher Park to address parking issues • ALGONQUIN

work completed, which is being paid for with a developer’s letter of credit. Touch-up work on Edgewood Drive after major work last year also is planned, Kumbera said. Village officials intend to remove invasive species and put in native plants in areas, including Spella Park, the stormwater detention basin

at Blue Ridge and Tahoe parkways and Falcon Ridge nature preserve. The village further hopes to add a permeable paver lot at Kelliher Park to address parking issues. It calls for 75 percent funding through an Illinois Green Infrastructure Grant, but whether the village receives the grant has yet to be determined.

BuLLS 85, PISTONS 82

Robinson rallies Bulls from 17 down The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Devoid of energy and headed toward another headscratching home loss, the Chicago Bulls needed an answer. Enter Nate Robinson. The spunky guard had 11 points and seven assists in 21 minutes off the bench, leading a furious fourthquarter comeback that carried the Bulls past the Detroit Pistons 85-82 on Wednesday night.

Joakim Noah sacrificed his body to save a loose ball, which Marco Belinelli converted into a

game-winning basket with 7 seconds left. Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey each missed potential tying 3-pointers at the other end. Robinson put the Bulls on his back, scoring nine straight points early in the fourth as the Bulls overcame a 17-point deficit to beat Detroit for the 17th straight time. The comeback matched the Bulls’ largest of the season. “My biggest asset to the game is

energy,” Robinson said. “We needed a lift and I just had to force the crowd to get out of their seats and give us a boost.” He hit a jumper with 10:25 left to cut the lead to eight, then was fouled in transition on the next possession. He rose from the floor and beckoned the sold-out crowd to get on its feet, which it did. Robinson took it from there.

Ream to the rescue Guard hits 3 to force OT; Huntley wins

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

By MAuREEN LyNCH sportsdesk@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Haley Ream really didn’t think the ball was coming back to her. Once the Huntley senior guard tossed it to teammate Sam Andrews as the seconds wound off the clock in the fourth quarter of a must-win game against Crystal Lake South on Wednesday, Ream figured the hot-handed Andrews would take care of the rest. The 3-point deficit the Red Raiders faced didn’t concern her as long as Andrews had the ball. South knew to disrupt that calm. The Gators’ pressure forced Andrews to defer to Ream, who kicked her toes just behind the 3-point arc and lined a desperation shot that carried with it Huntley’s chances of retaining sole possession of first place in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division. The shot went in to send the game to overtime, and two extra sessions later Huntley beat South, 54-52. Ream, who had flashes of nervousness when she suddenly needed to handle the critical play, never doubted the Red Raiders would.

CHICAGO – Sammy Sosa thinks he and fellow steroidtainted star Mark McGwire belong in the Hall of Fame. Slammin’ Sammy also said the Cubs should retire his number, and he left open the possibility of running for president of the Dominican Republic during an interview Wednesday on Sammy Sosa the website Ustream.com. Asked if he thinks he or McGwire belong in the Hall, Sosa said: “I think so.” “I’m not going to come here and say anything that is going to jeopardize my future,” he added. “But definitely time will determine everything. Right now whatever it is, it is. I am not [somebody who] is going to go out there and say anything I don’t want to say. I’m waiting for my time. ... I don’t like controversy. Definitely time will determine everything.” Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were denied entry to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility amid suspicions their accomplishments were boosted by performanceenhancing drugs. McGwire, 10th on the career home run list, received 16.9 percent of the vote on his seventh try, far short of the 75 percent needed for election. Sosa, who finished with 609 home runs and ranks eighth on the all-time chart, received 12.5 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said at the team’s fan convention last weekend that the club might try to re-establish a relationship with Sosa, who left on bad terms after the 2004 season.

Nobody has it better than Harbaughs

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh (left) and his brother, San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, talk with their father, Jack, before their game Nov. 24, 2011, in Baltimore.

When Jack Harbaugh’s boys were young, they’d be on their way home from a junior football practice and their father would turn and ask them a simple question. “Men,” Jack would begin, “Who’s got it better than us?” Immediately, John and Jim Harbaugh would join their father in unison. “NOOOOO-BODY.” These days, it seems Jack Harbaugh’s motto applies perfectly. The Harbaugh brothers, only 15 months apart in age, have become as much of a storyline for the 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl showdown Feb. 3 in New Orleans as their two teams.

VIEWS Jeff Arnold John, the coach of the Ravens, and Jim, the 49ers coach and former Bears quarterback, have already grown weary of discussing it. Every second spent talking about themselves and their sibling rivalry, they insist, takes attention away from the teams they coach. And as older sibling John put it this week in downplaying the brother versus brother headto-head meeting, “It’s not exactly like Churchill and Roosevelt or anything.”

Then, there’s Jack. During his own coaching career, Jack moved his family 16 times. His three children – the two future coaches and the future coach’s wife (daughter Joani is married to Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean) – digested the game. Jim and John watched football practice at the University of Michigan, where Jack was an assistant under Bo Schembechler. They’d stack tackling dummies and play catch on the sidelines. Joani used to splice film for her dad, learning the family business at any early age.

HEAD INJURIES IN THE NFL

Seau’s family sues NFL over injuries By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press

Add Junior Seau’s family to the thousands of people who are suing the NFL over the long-term damage caused by concussions. Seau’s ex-wife and four children sued the league Wednesday, saying the former linebacker’s suicide was the result of brain disease caused by violent hits he suffered while playing football. The wrongful death lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court in San Diego, blames the NFL for its “acts or omissions” that hid the dangers of repetitive blows to the head. It says Seau developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from those hits, and accuses the NFL of deliberately ignoring and concealing evidence of the risks associated with traumatic brain injuries. Seau died at age 43 of a self-inflicted gunshot in May. He was diagnosed with CTE, based on posthumous tests, this month. An Associated Press review in November found that more than 3,800 players have sued the NFL over head injuries in at least 175 cases as the concussion issue has gained attention in recent years. The total number of plaintiffs is 6,000 when spouses, relatives and other representatives are included. Scores of the concussion lawsuits have been brought together before U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia. “Our attorneys will review it and respond to the claims appropriately through the court,” the NFL said in a statement Wednesday. Helmet manufacturer Riddell Inc., also is a defendant, with the Seau family saying Riddell was “negligent in their design, testing, assembly, manufacture, marketing, and engineering of the helmets” used by NFL play-

“We know this lawsuit will not bring back Junior. But it will send a message that the NFL needs to care for its former players, acknowledge its decades of deception on the issue of head injuries and player safety, and make the game safer for future generations.”

SUPER BOWL XLVII ers. The suit says the helmets were unreasonably dangerous and unsafe. Riddell issued a statement saying it is, “confident in the integrity of our products and our ability to successfully defend our products against challenges.” Seau was one of the best linebackers during his 20 seasons in the NFL, retiring in 2009. “We were saddened to learn that Junior, a loving father and teammate, suffered from CTE,” the family said in a statement released to the AP. “While Junior always expected to have aches and pains from his playing days, none of us ever fathomed that he would suffer a debilitating brain disease that would cause him to leave us too soon. “We know this lawsuit will not bring back Junior. But it will send a message that the NFL needs to care for its former players, acknowledge its decades of deception on the issue of head injuries and player safety, and make the game safer for future generations.” Plaintiffs are listed as Gina Seau, Junior’s ex-wife; Junior’s children Tyler, Sydney, Jake and Hunter, and Bette Hoffman, trustee of Seau’s estate.

To Cubs, Kaepernick had arm to be pitcher By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Cubs scout Sam Hughes watches Colin Kaepernick nowadays and still wonders what the strong-armed NFL quarterback might look like on a pitching mound, as a power arm in the pros. It’s hard not to, seeing the zip and accuracy on each throw, the competitive fire and fierce focus. The Cubs never even watched Kaepernick throw a baseball before drafting him in the 43rd round almost four years ago. They did watch him throw a football for Nevada, and decided that college game told them more than enough. Ultimately, the Cubs just couldn’t lure Kaepernick away from his first love: football. Now, he’s headed to the Super Bowl to lead the San Francisco 49ers against Baltimore on Feb. 3. Hughes, the longtime national cross-checker in the

Cubs’ scouting department, and several others, including then-general manager Jim Hendry, figured they should give it a shot and hope Kaepernick might reconsider. “Yeah, that wasn’t happening,” Kaepernick said with a smile Wednesday. Hughes tried for two weeks to convince Kaepernick, who had made it all but clear he wouldn’t sign. He was surprised anybody drafted him at all given he had been so upfront about sticking with football. But the Cubs’ NFL sources – Hughes said three different teams – figured Kaepernick would be a late-round pick or even someone who might have to go the route of the Canadian Football League. That seems so laughable now. The Niners picked Kaepernick in the second round of the 2011 draft, made him the starter midseason this year and now will ask him to carry them all the way to the franchise’s sixth championship in what

will be just his 10th career NFL start. “I was looking at this tall, kind of gangly at the time quarterback that was super athletic and had this really long throwing motion,” Hughes said. “I was talking to some of my buddies at Reno and said, ‘Boy, I wonder if this kid’s ever played baseball, he’s got an arm stroke like a pitcher.’” That sent Hughes on a fun little research project. Kaepernick regularly threw 90 mph in high school, but was now some 40 pounds heavier as a college football player. He certainly would throw harder. “So, I was definitely intrigued, bigger, stronger, more athletic,” Hughes said. “Colin had no idea we were even considering drafting him. I kind of caught him off guard when I called him after we drafted him. He kind of got a kick out of it and said his phone was ringing off the hook that he’d been drafted by the Cubs. He had no idea.”

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Li stuns Sharapova in semis The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia – Li Na used the heat to her advantage and worked No. 2-ranked Maria Sharapova around Rod Laver Arena in a 6-2, 6-2 win Wednesday (Thursday in Australia) that put her in the Australian Open final for the second time in three years. Sharapova was the heavy favorite after conceding only nine games in her first five matches, a record at the Australian Open since it expanded to a 128-player draw in 1988. But the semifinal started badly for the 25-year-old Russian, serving double-faults to lose the first two points and conceding a break in the first game.

Li had the backing of the crowd at Rod Laver Arena, where dozens of red and white Chinese flags swirled in a light breeze, and where the temperature topped 93 degree during the first of the semifinals. Li was the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam final when she lost to Kim Clijsters in Melbourne in 2011. She had her breakthrough a few months later when she won the French Open, beating Sharapova in the semifinals along the way. She will now play the winner of the later semifinal between topranked Victoria Azarenka, the defending champion, and 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens. The 29th-seeded Stephens produced the upset of the tournament

to advance to a Grand Slam semifinal for the first time, beating Serena Williams on Wednesday. Stephens won 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, starting to swing hard when she was down a set and a break and keeping her composure when Williams, one of her childhood heroes, jarred her back and needed a medical timeout. Stephen’s surprise win did instant wonders for her celebrity. Before the match, Stephens said she had about 17,000 followers on Twitter. A few hours after reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal, she had more than 40,000. And she sounded like an excited schoolgirl as she gushed about receiving a congratulatory tweet from American singer John Legend.

Belinelli hits winner Harbaughs’ parents stay neutral ARNOLD after Noah saves ball • BULLS Continued from page C1

He made both free throws, then scored on the two ensuing possessions. Robinson also found Noah alone underneath the basket with 8 minutes left to tie the score at 71. “I just felt like I was invincible, unstoppable,” Robinson said. “It’s the Peter Pan theory – you can’t fly without happy thoughts.” The Bulls extended the lead, their first since the opening minutes, to six, but Detroit didn’t fold, tying the game at 82 with 29.4 seconds left on Jason Maxiell’s layup. Belinelli missed a go-ahead 3, but the ball ricocheted off the rim toward the row of cameramen. Noah and his 7-foot frame barreled through to keep it alive. “The best play,” Robinson said. “The funny thing about it

• Continued from page C1

is we’re over there celebrating and he’s still knocked over by the cheerleaders.” Belinelli was fouled on his layup and converted the free throw to give the Bulls a threepoint lead. “That unit that finished the game really inspired us,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “They erased the deficit and got the lead for us.” Coming from behind is not a new concept for the Bulls, who trailed by as many as 17 when the teams last met in December, a 108-104 Bulls win. Noah, who posted career highs with 30 points and 23 boards in the December meeting, finished with 10 points and 18 rebounds this time around. Jimmy Butler added 18 points and nine boards while starting a third straight game in place of the Bulls’ leading scorer, Luol Deng, who is dealing with a right hamstring injury.

But Jack never pushed his sons to follow his path. He did, however, insist that whatever they did, they did it with everything they had. When he’d drive the boys to school when he was an assistant coach at Iowa, he’d leave them with instructions. “Men,” Jack would say,” attack the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.” “In this world, you can choose to be positive, or you can choose to be negative. You can choose to see things through a set of eyes that sees good, or you can choose to see things in life that aren’t so good,” Jack told me for a profile I wrote on the Harbaughs in 2011. “At least every day they were reminded to look at it through a positive set of eyes. Let the lens of your eyes be positive.” His sons have carried Jack’s message to the pinnacle of their profession, guar-

anteeing that the Harbaugh name will be permanently affixed to a Lombardi Trophy. With their sons in the middle of all the hype, Jack and his wife of 51 years, Jackie, will stay out of the way. The two brothers will communicate only through text message, and Jack, who still has game film from his two boys delivered to his Wisconsin home each week, will relish the journey to the top for his two sons. He’ll never intrude into their business but will answer when they call, living by another mantra he picked up from former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes: Never do for your players what they can do for themselves. Like she does before every game, Jackie Harbaugh will call both of her sons the night before the game and wish them luck. As much as she has seen them compete headto-head, she hates to watch it at this level, wishing – as she told me in 2011 – that the

game could somehow end in a tie. But no matter who wins or loses, make no mistake. These are two proud parents of two proud football coaches with a relationship built around love and respect. But like they did on Thanksgiving Night in 2011, John and Jim will look across the field and see that guy they grew up with. And then for the next three hours, they’ll try desperately to do whatever it takes for their team to win the game. And sometime before kickoff in New Orleans, all of the Harbaughs – Jack, Jackie, John, Jim and Joani – will likely take a moment, look around, and repeat the same thing to themselves. “Who’s got it better than us?” NOOOOOO-BODY.”

SUGAR GROVE – Rich Harvest Farms owner Jerry Rich has confirmed to Shaw Media today’s announcement of a biennial international LPGA event that likely will incorporate Asian players and take place at the Sugar Grove course in even-numbered years beginning in 2016. The event, which will open at a site to be determined in 2014, will complement the Solheim Cup, which pits teams of American and European players and was played at Rich Harvest Farms in the summer of 2009. Rich since has spoken of a venture that would highlight the truly global scope of the women’s game. In 2012, seven of the LPGA’s top 10 money winners were from Asian countries. Rich withheld further details until this afternoon’s announcement at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla., scheduled for 2:30 p.m. The announcement will be carried live online at www. ustream.tv/lpga, with a recap show set for broadcast on The Golf Channel at 6 p.m. Rich, who plans to travel to Orlando today, began laying groundwork for the project as the Solheim Cup – played biennially in odd-numbered years – came to a close almost four years ago. – Kevin Druley

Te’o asks Couric: ‘What would you do?’ NEW YORK – Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o admitted to Katie Couric he answered questions about his “dead,” online girlfriend even after he received a call Dec. 6 from a woman posing as the fake person. Te’o also maintained he played no part in the hoax. Pressed by Couric to admit that he was in on the deception, the All-American said he was convinced the woman he knew as Lennay Kekua died in September. Te’o claims he never met Kekua in person but developed a serious relationship with her through phone calls and electronic messages. “Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on Sept. 12. Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to, died on Sept. 12,” Te’o said in an interview to air today on Couric’s syndicated talk show. A segment of the interview with Te’o and his parents was broadcast Wednesday on “Good Morning America.” “Now I get a phone call on Dec. 6, saying that she’s alive and then I’m going be put on national TV two days later. And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?” Te’o said.

CLC linemen commit to Minn. St.-Moorhead

Crystal Lake Central offensive lineman Lane Puckett did not give Minnesota State-Moorhead much thought when linemate Damien Patrick mentioned the school last summer. Puckett thought the school was too far north and the climate might be a bit cold for his taste. However, when Moorhead coaches Lane watched Patrick’s Puckett game videos, they noticed Puckett as well. “Damien told them I wasn’t that interested, but when he told me the coaches were asking, I said ‘No, tell him to call me!’ ” Puckett said. Now, the right side of Central’s offensive line will head north together. Patrick committed to Dragons coach Steve Laqua and his

staff Tuesday; Puckett will travel to the NCAA Division II school this weekend and give the coaches his commitment in person. They can sign their NCAA national letters of intent Feb. 6, the first day of signing for football. Patrick and Puckett were instrumental in helping Central to a 9-3 record and to Damien the IHSA Class 6A Patrick playoff quarterfinal round, where it lost to Cary-Grove, 7-0. Patrick was the Tigers’ right tackle, Puckett played right guard, then switched to center when they went to their spread offense so he could handle the shotgun snaps. “The process was long and grueling, and not as fun as everyone said it would be,” said Puck-

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson ett, a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection. “After the season, it was mainly D-II and D-III schools, and that’s fine. [Laqua] sounded like a genuine guy, someone who I wouldn’t have any problem giving my all for every day.” Patrick and Puckett also liked that Moorhead’s line coach, Rob Hunt, is a former NFL lineman who played on the Indianapolis Colts with quarterback Peyton Manning. Patrick, like Puckett, received some D-I interest. He liked Moorhead’s facilities and the opportunity. Both players likely will redshirt as freshmen. “It’s always been a goal to take it to the next level,” Patrick said.

“I felt like Moorhead was the best place for me to move on. [Lane] and I’ve been talking all semester long, and the last couple of weeks we both decided it was a good place.” Patrick is 6-foot-31⁄2, 305 pounds; Puckett is 6-3, 265. “I started taking into account playing time and money, that what I could get through academics and athletics, and knew [Moorhead] would be an option,” Puckett said. “The other schools I was looking at couldn’t bring what Moorhead brought to the table.” Katchen to Bethany: Cary-Grove’s Sam Katchen will continue her volleyball career at NCAA Division III Bethany (W.Va.) College next year. Katchen, a 5-foot-10 middle blocker, helped the Trojans to second place in the IHSA Class 4A State Tournament as a junior. She teamed with Micah Duzey and

finished second in the AAU Junior Olympic Beach Volleyball Championships in 2012. They were third in 2011. Bethany was third in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference and the Bison tied their season record for wins at 31-8. “We are very excited to have Sam as a part of our program at Bethany,” Bison coach Courtney Kline said. “She is coming from a great background of volleyball and knows what type of work ethic it takes to be successful at the college level. I am looking forward to getting the opportunity to work with her in the next four years.” •฀Joe Stevenson is a senior sports writer for the Northwest Herald.

Crystal Lake South’s Chanel Fanter goes up for a shot in the first half against Huntley on Wednesday at South. Huntley won, 54-52, in double overtime.

Ali Andrews scores 28 in victory • HUNTLEY Continued from page C1 “I was hoping it was going in. When you’re looking at it like that it looks good, but you never know,” Ream said. “I never thought we were going to lose, though. … [Even when] we weren’t doing what we needed to do, but I didn’t think we were going to lose.” In those final few seconds of the fourth quarter, the Raiders’ chances seemed slim. South led 44-41 with 8.9 seconds left before Huntley coach Steve Raethz called timeout. Andrews got the inbound pass at the top of the arc, just as the play was designed, but Andrews couldn’t get off the shot. Ream caught Andrews’ pass, slid to her left and took the most important shot of the season to date. “It was nice to see her be so offensive-minded, especially down the stretch,” Raethz said of Ream. “We really needed her to knock that down, and she did it.” Huntley (18-4 overall, 8-1 FVC Valley) went ahead for the first time since just before halftime, 47-46, on a free throw by freshman Ali Andrews (game-high 28 points, 12 rebounds) with 1:04 left in the first overtime. South junior guard Rachel Rasmussen and sophomore Carly Nolan knocked down free throws to help South lead 4947 with 13 seconds left, but

Landazzi inspires: For the past two years on varsity, Landazzi’s biggest impact on Johnsburg centered on her defense. Although her high school career is nearing its conclusion, the senior guard isn’t letting that stop her from taking that next step with her game. “On a not very good team, she’s been an incredible bright spot,” Skyhawks coach Brad Frey said of Landazzi. “Over the last couple of weeks, things have started to sink in.” Landazzi had been averaging four points a game most of the season, but over the past two weeks she has averaged 15 points a game, including 16 in 21⁄2 quarters of action in Johnsburg’s loss to Grayslake North on Tuesday. Although Frey said Landazzi’s offensive outburst came “out of the blue,” he credited her evolving into an all-around smart player who plays hard. “We’ve stressed all year about improving,” Frey said. “It’s been really nice to watch her blossom.” C-G honors Fitzgerald: Although Cary-Grove is focused on capturing another Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title, the Trojans didn’t overlook the passing of a community icon. During C-G’s 46-28 win against Prairie Ridge on Jan. 15, coach Rod Saffert and the Trojans wrote “EF” on the backs of their hands to honor Elroy Fitzgerald. A moment of silence was also held before the game. Fitzgerald died Jan. 13. “It was a nice way (beating Prairie Ridge) to honor Elroy Fitzgerald,” Saffert said. “We all put little EFs everywhere. I got emotional about it because the whole 20 years I’ve been here that guy has been umpiring my baseball games, he was there when I was a lower level coach, and he was just a nice guy. When you know someone like that, it’s tough.”

South’s Sara Mickow eyes the hoop while being double-teamed against Huntley. Ali Andrews hit a baseline jumper to force the second overtime. Senior guard Stephanie Oros’ 3-pointer with 1:38 to play in double overtime put the Gators up 52-51, but Bethany Zornow and Ali Andrews hit free throws to give Huntley the final margin. “It was a crazy game,

fighting for first place (in the FVC Valley) like that, but it is what it is,” said Oros, whose big steal and layup at the end of the first quarter had sparked a 16-8 run to help the Gators lead 25-24 at halftime. “We definitely came out and played all four quarters, then more. We gave it all we had.”

OUTDOORS & COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Readers side with hunter

You may be wondering what the “Court of Public Opinion,” ruled in the case of hunter Ronald Mulholland of Des Plaines? If you recall, the 72-year-old Mulholland was the man who shot what he believed were a pair of elk near Antioch. He did nothing legally wrong, as the Illinois Department of Natural Resources rules are that if there is no designated hunting season for a species of animal, then there are no restrictions on hunting it. In a recent column, I pronounced myself to be the “judge” and asked the readers to be the “jury.” I was flooded with responses. Most responses made me out to be the villain in the story. Many readers were unhappy that I was against Mulholland’s harvest of the animals, which turned out to be red deer. I did write a column that explained what happened and opined that I thought the killing was wrong and asked the IDNR to change its laws to make all species closed season unless specifically mentioned. My second column where I appointed myself to be the “judge” was unbiased and allowed “testimony” from a hunting pal of Mulholland as a character witness before allowing Mulholland to have his unedited say. I think I was more than fair. Here’s a little of what you, the jury, had to offer as an opinion in this “case.” Tedd Engel wrote, “Nice shot Ron, there that sums it up! People want a hot button? Concentrate on our politicians and what they want to take away – freedom!” William Dodson said, “Steve, you were completely out of line. It was mentioned these red deer were imported. Can you say for sure that these animals were inspected by the DNR for diseases that the animals could transmit to other wildlife? If it was ignored, the owner of the red deer should be charged and fined. Every one of those who condemn Mr. Mulholland need to apologize to him” Al Widtmann added, “I was quite surprised that as an outdoor writer for the state of Illinois you were not fully aware of the laws governing the taking of game in Illinois. Most responsible sportsmen and sportswomen in Illinois can tell you that anything not cov-

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley ered under the Illinois wildlife code is ‘fair game.’ Ron may have very well done the people of Illinois a favor, as biologists have not studied the effects that an established red deer population may have in this portion of the state. There are other considerations as well. You do remember how CWD began, don’t you?” Garry Hannigan added, “My opinion on the man killing the red deer was probably the smartest decision he made because Steve did you forget that that’s where CWD came from? That’s why the DNR wants them shot. Gentlemen, a lot of readers allege that CWD was introduced by the importation of nondomestic species but there is no proof to back that theory. And if the IDNR “wants them shot,” they should state so in the rule book. Jason Kujawa says, “I believe you are completely wrong when saying that animals without hunting seasons should be protected and not able to be harvested. There have been confirmed wild hog sightings in the great state of Illinois. These animals are destructive to crops and our native animals. Protecting an invasive species as this would be foolish.” Whoa, Jason! I am antiferal pig, too. I just think they should be declared to have no restrictions on shooting them, just like coyotes are. Why one and not the other? Dale Tollefson makes his point: “I think most hunters know it – feral animals are fair game. In the satellite of Ferncliff State Park’s Cypress Pond on the Johnson County side, there were a half-dozen cows loose where the state made grasslands. They were there for over 3 years and as far as I know they are still there. I saw those cows repeatedly. I didn’t kill one. To me that wouldn’t seem right. We cannot make a law for every right or wrong. Sometimes you just have to trust most people will do the right thing on a case-by-case basis. We already have too many laws.” Sorry, Dale, I have a harder time every day assuming that people will do the right thing.

True, we don’t need more laws, I am just asking for a change of one paragraph in the existing rules and regs. Scott Jackson impressed me with his courtesy while disagreeing: “Your Honor, I would like to throw in my opinion on the Ronald Mulholland controversy. There are two species of animals that are predatory in nature which do not exist in Illinois that I do not want on my property and will not hesitate to shoot if one comes by – cougars and bears. I’m sure many fellow hunters would bash me extensively for holding this opinion. In my mind landowners should have the right to legally protect his property and assets from animals that can destroy his crops, soil, livestock, pets and children. Back in the 1990s there was an effort to possibly introduce elk in southern Illinois. That effort died because of complaints by private landowners of the damage elk would cause to the land. As far as Mr. Mulholland and his case is concerned, I see nothing moral or ethically wrong with what he did, and I will not criticize him for his legal choice.” Even my close buddy, Danny Tischler joined forces with the majority of the readers in a phone call. He asked me, “Were you having a bad day when you wrote that? Are you in a bad state of mind? It’s not like you to take after somebody personally like you did. The poor old guy didn’t do anything illegal. Geez!” The letters and emails go on and on and on and on. Almost all of them said just about the same thing – Mulholland was right and “Judge” Sarley should be sentenced to serve time for “contempt of court. In the near future I will print the one – yes, I said “one” – letter I got that backed me, and I’ll let you know about a recent event that happened in another state that may force a lot of you to change your opinion. •฀Northwest Herald outdoors columnist Steve Sarley’s radio show, “The Outdoors Experience,” airs live at 5 a.m. Sundays on AM-560.

They prevailed despite getting outrebounded 45-31 because they held Minnesota to its lowest point total of the season. The Gophers got 14 points and 16 rebounds from Trevor

Mbakwe, but had little else going for them. They shot 33.3 percent and were 5 of 19 on 3-pointers, missing 12 in a row before Andre Hollins hit one with 35 seconds left. That made it 52-48, but Hearn made 3 of 4 free throws to preserve the win. The Wildcats were trailing 39-37 when Marcotullio nailed a 3 with 10:25 left to give the Wildcats a 40-39 lead and start the decisive run. Demps buried a 3 from the corner about 3 minutes later and followed that with two free throws. A pivoting Joe Coleman then made a jumper, ending about a 5-minute scoreless drought, but Alex Olah and Swopshire followed with layups to keep the run going.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

This college sports scandal comes from headquarters By MICHAEL MAROT

INDIANAPOLIS – The latest black eye for college sports belongs to the NCAA. In an embarrassing blow to its watchdog image, the NCAA said Wednesday its enforcement staff had botched the high-profile investigation of the University of Miami by improperly conducting at least two depositions while working with an attorney for disgraced booster Nevin Shapiro. Miami has been under investigation since the convicted Ponzi scheme mastermind said he had provided improper benefits to Hurricanes recruits. President Mark Emmert said he was disappointed and angry with the misstep, acknowledging he had not seen anything like this since taking the NCAA job 21⁄2 years ago. He said some “people” involved in this case were no longer working for the NCAA, though he declined to say who they were or whether they had been fired. He said none of the evidence collected improperly would be used against Miami and that the longawaited notice of allegations would be delayed until after an external review is completed in about two weeks. It was an ugly stumble for the NCAA, coming less than a week after its annual convention resulted in another round of reforms intended to firm up recruiting rules and other guidelines. And it comes as the organization faces more than a half-dozen lawsuits that could reshape how it does business, including one challenging the $60 million in penalties levied against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky scandal. “Of course it hurts – any nick to a public perception that’s not favorable to begin with is a problem,” said Jo Potuto, former chairwoman of the NCAA infractions committee and a constitutional law professor at Nebraska. “The public perception has never been

The NCAA said Wednesday an outside attorney will review enforcement policies and procedures that were used in the case against the University of Miami. It was another blow for an organization already facing its share of headaches, including these legal fights: • A class-action federal lawsuit by former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon and other players who say the NCAA and its marketing company run an illegal monopoly by licensing their images to third parties, including video game manufacturers. • A case filed by former Southern Cal assistant football coach Todd McNair, who said the NCAA was “malicious” in its investigation into his role in the benefits scandal surrounding former Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Frederick Shaller said he was convinced the actions of NCAA investigators were “over the top.” • Former Buffalo coach Tim Cohane filed suit more than a decade ago, saying the NCAA and the school colluded to use a recruitment scandal to defame him and destroy his ability to coach basketball. He was forced to resign in 1999 and is awaiting trial. • Former college football players Derek Owens, Adrian Arrington and Mark Turner and former college soccer player Angela Palacios filed a federal lawsuit suggesting the NCAA has been negligent when it comes to protecting college athletes from head injuries. • Bleid Sports LLC filed a federal lawsuit, contending the NCAA is committing fraud and antitrust violations by adopting a rule that prevents universities from hosting practices or tournaments in which prospective recruits compete. Bleid Sports is an organizer for national high school basketball tournaments. • Former college quarterback John Rock is challenging the NCAA’s scholarship restrictions after his scholarship was not renewed by Gardner-Webb after the 2010-11 year. The federal suit is seeking unspecified damages for athletes who lost scholarships before the NCAA lifted its prohibition on multiyear scholarships in October 2011. • The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, represented by Gov. Thomas W. Corbett, claims the NCAA overstepped its authority and “piled on” when it penalized Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The sanctions include $60 million in fines.

ADVICE

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Unmarried couple doesn’t see Chew, yawn and swallow hard eye to eye on living together to combat ear pain on planes Dear Abby: I am a woman in my early 20s and in my first serious relationship. I adore “Paul.” We have a wonderful, respectful relationship. One day, I hope we’ll be married. I feel strongly we should not live together before we are married. He disagrees. He feels couples need to know each other’s habits fully before they make a lifelong commitment. I understand the financial and emotional convenience of sharing a home with your loved one. However, I believe marriage changes a living dynamic whether you have lived together or not. Conflicts that arise post-marriage can be faced with a greater sense of resolve, knowing that a formal commitment has been made. Abby, what’s your take on this? Should couples live together before marriage? I don’t want to be stubborn and say I’ll never live with anyone before getting married, because I know it’s a very common thing to do. What can I say to Paul and friends who disagree with me to defend my “old-fashioned” logic? – Traditionalist In Chicago Dear Traditionalist: I don’t think you should argue with them on the subject at all.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Just say although many couples live together today without marriage, YOU aren’t comfortable with it. You are not the only person who feels this way. Many people with strong religious convictions feel the way you do about it. In my opinion, this is something that couples should work out between themselves. Dear Abby: My next-door neighbor “Rod” and I work at the same place, about 10 miles from our homes. He has a medical condition that prevents him from driving. Until recently, he took the bus, but that route was stopped, so he now relies on his wife for transportation every day. She works and also takes care of their three kids. Last summer, I drove Rod for a while, but he was a terrible carpool companion. He was perpetually late, and I’d have to wait for him in the morning and after work. He would brag nonstop about how good he is at his job, and then want to stand around in our driveway chatting instead of just going inside.

He never offered to pay for gas or compensate me in any way and seemed unable to find other arrangements when I had to work late or run errands after work, which made me feel trapped in his schedule. I finally got tired of the hassle and made an excuse to stop driving him. There is no real reason I can’t take him now except he was such a pain in the youknow-what I don’t want to. But I feel guilty when I see his wife loading up all their kids to make the drive. What’s the right thing to do? We may be neighbors for a very long time. – Kind Com-

muter In Madison, Wis. Dear Kind Commuter: I recognize your generosity in extending yourself to your co-worker, who apparently never learned the basics of carpool etiquette. Because you got nothing positive out of driving him, I do not recommend you start again. However, if you would like to do his wife a favor, see if there are transportation services for people with disabilities in your city, and if there are, give that information to her.

Dear Dr. K: I fly a lot for work, and my ears always hurt during landing. Is there any way to prevent this? Dear Reader: Yes, there is, and you’re not alone. The ear pain you experience – barotrauma of the ear – is the most common medical problem reported by air travelers. “Barotrauma” refers to injuries caused by increased air pressure. Here’s why it happens. Your ear has three parts: the outer ear (including the ear canal), the middle ear and the inner ear. The eardrum comes between the outer ear and the middle ear. The middle ear is connected to the back of your mouth by a thin canal called the Eustachian tube. Air is constantly moving through the Eustachian tube and into the middle ear. This balances the pressure in the middle ear with that in the inner ear. Ear barotrauma can happen when one (or both) of two things happen: the Eustachian tube becomes blocked or partially blocked, and the air pressure around you changes suddenly. Air pressure gets lower at higher altitudes. When a plane takes off, and when it descends for landing, the altitude changes rapidly.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff While the plane has systems to reduce the sudden changes that happen during takeoff and landing, some still occur. When a plane’s air pressure changes suddenly, it can create a vacuum in the middle ear that pulls the eardrum inward. This can cause pain and muffle sounds. In more severe cases, the middle ear can fill with clear fluid. In the most severe cases, the eardrum can rupture. Fortunately, this is rare. Barotrauma is much more likely if you’re flying with a cold, infection or allergies. If these conditions block the Eustachian tube, the natural way you have of balancing pressures in your ear is compromised. So if you are ill and have any flexibility, reschedule your flight until you are better. If you must fly, take a decongestant one hour before your flight or use a decongestant nasal spray, or both. Antihistamines also may help if you have allergies. Special earplugs can

slow down the pressure change that affects the ear. These might give your ears additional time to adjust to pressure changes. If you experience the symptoms of barotrauma during a flight, try the following – and before the symptoms start (for most people, landing is worse than takeoff): •฀Chew฀gum฀or฀suck฀on฀ hard candy. •฀Yawn฀and฀swallow฀ frequently, tightening the muscles in the back of your throat as you do (you often can feel and hear the Eustachian tube pop open). If these methods don’t work, pinch your nose closed, inhale through your mouth, and then try to push the air out through your nose while keeping it pinched฀shut.฀Don’t฀push฀ hard, and stop as soon as one ear pops. If you blow too hard, you can tear your eardrums, so do it carefully. If you continue to experience ear pain and stuffiness after landing, a decongestant spray may help.

Pearl Jam plays Wrigley

Shakira welcomes boy

Pearl Jam will play a summer concert this year at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The Eddie Vedder-fronted band announced the concert Wednesday for July 19 at the city’s historic baseball park. The band also plans a July 16 concert in Canada at Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario. The band’s website says the concerts are called “An Evening with Pearl Jam.” There will be no opening acts.

Within hours of Shakira’s baby boy being born, people are already asking about his future career. Will Milan Pique Mebarak be a famous pop singer like his Colombian mother, or an international soccer star like his Spanish father, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique? “Welcome Milan Piqué Mebarak and congratulations to Shakira and Gerard Pique. What would you prefer as a present for the baby, a microphone or some [soccer] boots?” Manchester City striker Sergio “Kun” Aguero wrote Wednesday on Twitter. Shakira, 35, gave birth to her first child Tuesday in Barcelona in northeastern Spain. Both the boy and mother were said to be in fine health.

Adele to sing at Oscars

Paulson in for third ‘Horror Story’ For those who get creeped out watching “American Horror Story: Asylum,” don’t worry. You’re not alone. Sarah Paulson, one of its stars, says the show’s dark and twisted story lines can unnerve her, too. “I can’t watch it at night, and I’m on it,” the actress said. “There are some people who like to be scared and I understand that, but I am not one of those individuals. I like to cozy up with a nice book and a bath and a teddy bear. [Laughs.] I am not interested in being terrified before I go to sleep.” “American Horror Story: Asylum” is the second season of the FX show, which is described as an anthology series. Each season takes place in a new location with new characters, although some of the actors, like Paulson, were also in the first season. “AHS: Asylum” centers around a mental institution where Paulson’s character, Lana, finds herself wrongfully committed. The season finale aired Wednesday. The finished product may be unnerving, but the 38-year-old actress loves being part of the show, so she’s agreed to come back for season three. “I have an idea of what the show is gonna be, but I have no specifics. It’s a rare thing to say ‘yes’ to something having not seen the script and having no idea what the part is gonna be. ... With this show, all the actors get to come back and everybody gets to play a different person. ... I can’t think of another time where that’s happened. I feel really lucky.”

Adele will perform the James Bond theme “Skyfall” at the Oscars, her first U.S. performance since last year’s Grammy Awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Wednesday Adele will sing the Oscar-nominated song at the 85th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 24. She and producer Paul Epworth are nominated for best original song for “Skyfall.” Adele hasn’t previously sung “Skyfall” live for an audience. She says in a statement she’s honored to be singing in front of people who’ve captured her imagination.

‘Peanuts’ actor arrested Authorities in California say the voice actor who portrayed Charlie Brown in many “Peanuts” shows was arrest-

ed on charges that include stalking. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Angelica de Cima said Peter Robbins was arrested Sunday at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. The 56-year-old was arraigned Wednesday on counts of making a threat to cause death or great bodily injury and of stalking. Robbins was the voice of Charlie Brown for TV specials, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

Timberlake to perform Justin Timberlake will appear in his first concert in more than four years the night before the Super Bowl. Timberlake has signed on to perform during “DIRECTV Super Saturday Night,” held Feb. 2 in New Orleans. The invitation-only concert also features Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots as DJ and will benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Michael and Jill Houston of Cary, owners of Elite Scheduling Services and Accord Protective Services.

Sense of security Cary businesses are no longer a secret service By KEVIN P. CRAVER

Accord Protective Services, Elite Scheduling Services

kcraver@shawmedia.com CARY – Michael Houston and his wife, Jill, have grown their private investigation and security businesses over the years through word-ofmouth and reputation. They run two agencies from their Cary home. The oldest, Elite Scheduling Services, offers protective chaperone services, primarily for bar and bat mitzvahs and synagogues in the North Shore area. But since 2007, they also operate Accord Protective Services, which offers security services for individuals and their events. Accord’s clients include important individuals and businesses, including several expensive downtown Chicago hotels. It’s a client base that Michael Houston said has grown through a reputation of reliable service, and through solid connections cultivated in Chicago-area law enforcement communities. “Just being recognized as the goto people as we’ve slowly grown says a lot,” Houston said. “We’ve rarely advertised. We just started up a website.”

What: Accord Protective Services offers security services for individuals and their events. Elite Scheduling Services offers protective chaperone services. Where: 24600 Whispering Wheat Lane, Cary Information: 847-513-2075, or visit www. accordprotection.com

Accord, which has about 150 lawenforcement and ex-military professionals on its roster, grew from the Houstons’ scheduling service to provide security at parties and private events. Elite Scheduling is a professional chaperone service, specializing in bar and bat mitzvah events to ensure they stay safe and prevent young adults attending them from getting into trouble. Their decision to branch out and create Accord came six years ago when they discovered that their scheduling service employees are considered by the state to be security

and therefore required licensing. Houston said his lifelong dream was to become a private investigator. He got a taste of law enforcement during a six-year stint, both active and reserve, as an Army military policeman from 1978 to 1984, after which his career path took its present track. Houston and his wife began working for a private security agency they liked, and stayed on when new ownership took over. When the new owner took the agency in a direction they didn’t like, they decided in 2005 to branch out on their own, comfortable with a core clientele they had gained the trust of through years of work. Elite’s clientele now include nine of the largest Jewish temples in the North Shore, and the private security and investigations business with Accord is steadily growing. Houston said Accord employees are well-known among suburban law enforcement and are seen as equals and professionals who know their boundaries. “When [police officers] do that, it speaks volumes,” Houston said.

The Great Reset: Tech’s advance

Shaping the landscape for HR advocacy

Can smart machines do your job? By BERNARD CONDON JONATHAN FAHEY PAUL WISEMAN AP Business Writers WASHINGTON – Art Liscano knows he’s an endangered species in the job market: He’s a meter reader in Fresno, Calif. For 26 years, he’s driven from house to house, checking how much electricity Pacific Gas & Electric customers have used. But PG&E doesn’t need many people like Liscano making rounds anymore. Every day, the utility replaces 1,200 old-fashioned meters with digital versions that can collect information without human help, generate more accurate power bills, even send an alert if the power goes out. “I can see why technology is taking over,” says Liscano, 66, who earns $67,000 a year. “We can see the writing on the wall.” His department employed 50 full-time meter readers just six years ago. Now, it has six. From giant corporations to university libraries to startup businesses, employers are using rapidly improving technology to

That means millions of workers are caught in a competition they can’t win against machines that keep getting more powerful, cheaper and easier to use. To better understand the impact of technology on jobs, The Associated Press analyzed employment data from 20 countries; and interviewed economists, technology experts, robot manufacturers, software developers, CEOs, and workers who are competing with smarter machines.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Second in a three-part series on the loss of middle-class jobs in the wake of the Great Recession, and the role of technology. most all the jobs disappearing are the midskill, midpay jobs — jobs with salaries ranging from $38,000 to $68,000 in the U.S. — that form the backbone of the middle class in developed countries in Europe, North America and Asia. In the United States, half of the 7.5 million jobs lost during the Great Recession paid middle-class wages, and the numbers are even

more grim in the 17 European countries that use the euro as their currency. A total of 7.6 million midpay jobs disappeared in those countries from January 2008 through last June. Those jobs are being replaced in many cases by machines and software that can do the same work better and cheaper. “Everything that humans can do a machine can do,” says Moshe Vardi, a computer scientist at Rice University in Houston. “Things are happening that look like science fiction.”

8IN BRIEF Motorola Solutions revenue up 83 percent SCHAUMBURG – Motorola Solutions Inc. said Wednesday that its fourth-quarter net income rose 83 percent, helped by stronger demand for its communications equipment from its government customers. The company, which is based in Schaumburg, earned 336 million, or $1.18 per share, in the October-December period. That’s up from $184 million, or 56 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier. Adjusted earnings, which exclude stock compensation expenses and other costs, were $1.10 per share in the latest quarter. Revenue rose 6 percent to $2.44 billion from $2.3 billion. Analysts, on average, had expected earnings of $1.02 per share on revenue of $2.45 billion, according to FactSet. Revenue at Motorola Solution’s government segment rose 10 percent year-overyear to $1.7 billion. Revenue at its enterprise, or corporate segment, declined 3 percent to $733 million. For the current quarter, the company expects adjusted earnings of 62 cents to 67 cents per share and revenue growth of 4 percent to 5 percent from the first quarter of 2012, when it posted revenue of $1.96 billion.

General Dynamics reports $2.13B 4Q loss FALLS CHURCH, Va. – General Dynamics reported a huge fourth-quarter loss due to charges related to slowing defense spending. The charges “reflect the fact that some of our markets are contracting as government budgets shrink at home and abroad,” Chairman and CEO Phebe Novakovic said in a statement. “They also suggest opportunities for improvement in some areas of our performance, which we are addressing.” The Falls Church, Va., aerospace and defense company said it lost $2.13 billion, or $6.07 per share during the October-December quarter, compared with net income of $603 million, or $1.68 per share, a year earlier.

Governments fishing for more data from Google SAN FRANCISCO – Google is being pulled into an increasing number of police and government investigations around the world as authorities seek to learn more about the people who use its Internet search engine, email and other services. The latest snapshot of law enforcement agencies’ efforts to extract personal information from Google emerged in a Wednesday report from the company. Governments presented Google with 21,389 requests for information on 33,634 of its users during the last six months of 2012. The number of requests was up 17 percent from a year earlier. Authorities in the U.S. delivered nearly 8,438 of the requests, representing nearly 40 percent of the worldwide total. The U.S. volume was one-third higher than in the same period the previous year. Subpoenas accounted for 68 percent of U.S. requests, followed by search warrants at 22 percent. A mix of court orders and other legal demands made up the remaining U.S. requests for user information from Google. India generated the second highest number of user requests during the final half of last year at 2,431, a 10 percent increase from the previous year.

If they can get out of debt, so can you A recent article on Yahoo! News detailed the stories of six people who found themselves deep in debt. These stories are good examples of success, if consumers will address their problems and take steps to extricate themselves from their financial difficulties. The first couple had three children, ages 8, 12 and 15, and an annual income of more than $100,000. When the recession hit, they lost almost half their income.Talk about falling off the much talked about “fiscal cliff.” Unfortunately, like many people in their situation, they didn’t cut back on expenses. Soon they found themselves more than $50,000 in credit card debt and were unable to make the minimum payments. Each month the balance climbed higher and higher when the monthly payments didn’t cover the interest. Fortunately, they sought the services of a not-for-profit credit counseling agency and entered into a debt management program designed to repay their debt. The DMP succeeded in reducing their interest rates, some of which were as high as 32 percent, to

MONEY MATTERS Virginia Peschke rates as low as 7 percent. Their monthly payments were $1,400 per month and the program was designed with a goal of becoming debt-free in only four years. The family went from wearing designer jeans to buying them at thrift stores or on eBay. They halted their expensive cable and cut their energy bills significantly by installing a programmable thermostat, using energy-efficient light bulbs and weatherizing their windows and doors. They cut their Christmas gift spending by $200 and bought used appliances for a fraction of what they would have paid for new. They splurged on a trip to Hawaii, when the husband, who managed a remodeling business, remodeled a friend’s kitchen in exchange for frequent flyer miles. After six years of being a “stay-athome” mom, the wife decided to take a job, which, unfortunately, proved, not only to be unrewarding, but mon-

etarily insufficient after paying day care and additional insurance. She took a second more lucrative job, but worried that she was no longer connecting with her children. On a rare day, when she needed to pick up her child from school, the staff refused to allow her to do it, because they didn’t recognize her as the parent. Her third attempt at employment utilized more of her education and proved to be more successful, both monetarily and time-wise. At last, after four years, the couple made their final monthly payment, which resulted in paying off a total of $66,376.07, which included both principal and interest. The debt management program had saved them thousands of dollars in interest and years of debt, if they had continued to pay only minimum payments.

in February 2010). Yes, there were sacrifices made by this family to make their new DMP payments, but they are now debtfree and have an additional $1,400 to invest each month going forward. The moral of the story is, if you are having trouble getting out of credit card debt, take steps to gain control of your finances by seeking counseling from a Certified Consumer Credit Counselor at a not-for-profit agency member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. The counselor will advise you how to work towards a DMP, designed to free you from credit card debt in five years or less. It may not be easy, but scores of families have achieved their debt-free goals using this program. Next month I will tell you how a divorced father of three girls succeeded in overcoming debt.

Apple’s shares fall after disappointing earnings By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer NEW YORK – Apple’s profit surge halted in the latest quarter, as a flood of new products like the iPhone 5 meant high start-up costs for new production lines. Apple posted net income for the October to December quarter that was flat with the year before. It was the first time in years that Apple didn’t post a double-digit earnings increase. The report also made clear that Apple is no longer able to sustain the breakneck sales increases of the last three years, even with a fresh iPhone on store shelves. Apple shares fell $31.70, or 6.2 percent, to $482.31, in extended trading, after the release of the results. Net income in the fiscal first quarter was $13.1 billion, or $13.81 per share. That still beat expectations, as analysts polled by FactSet had forecast earnings of $13.48 per share. Revenue was $54.5 billion, up 18 percent from a year ago. Analysts were expecting $55 billion. “The revenue number is dismal as far as what the expectations were,” said Jeff Sica president and chief investment officer of SICA Wealth Management. But he added that while it’s an “incredible number” on its own, Apple has “fallen victim to the curse of high expectations.” Apple shipped 47.8 million

iPhones in the quarter, about 1 million less than analysts were expecting, and 22.9 million iPads, also about 1 million short. Looking ahead, Apple said it expects sales of between $41 billion and $43 billion in the current quarter, which ends in March. Apple routinely lowballs its forecasts, but the outlook will likely prompt analysts to lower their own expectations, which were at $45.6 billion. Apple’s report comes as investors show concern that the company’s rocket-like growth may stall as consumers purchase a growing number of cheaper smartphones from competitors such as Samsung. Apple’s stock has plunged 27 percent from its all-time high in September. Last week, the stock fell below $500 for the first time in 11 months. There’s speculation that the company will produce a cheaper iPhone, but that would cut into its stunning profits, which are the whole reason it’s become the world’s most valuable company. Apple had warned that the holiday quarter’s profits would be lower than Wall Street was initially expecting, because it had so many new products coming out, including the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. New production lines are more expensive to run and yield more defective products that need to be redone or thrown out rather than sold.

McDonald’s plans ‘Fish McBites’ to boost sales By CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer NEW YORK – McDonald’s profit rose with the help of its Dollar Menu in the latest quarter. Now the world’s biggest hamburger chain is turning to a pipeline of new menu items to boost slumping sales, starting with its “Fish McBites.” The Oak Brook-based company is betting that it will be able to fend off intensifying competition and economic pressures with the lineup, which executives said includes new burgers, chicken entrees and breakfast offerings that are performing well in test markets. The Fish McBites, which will come in three sizes and use the same fish used in the Filet-O-Fish, are set to be launched in February. The rollout of the new menu items will come after McDonald’s managed to eke out a higher profit for the October-to-December period with a series of short-term moves, such as touting its Dollar Menu, shifting the release of its McRib from October to December and pushing franchisees to stay open on

Christmas. In November, the company ousted the president of its U.S. business after a key sales figure dropped for the first time in nearly a decade. CEO Don Thompson said Wednesday that the figure is expected to drop again in January. “By no means do we think 2013 is going to be an easy year,” CEO Don Thompson said in a conference call with analysts. He noted that growth in restaurant industry has been relatively flat to declining around the world, with that trend expected to continue. For the October-to-December period, McDonald’s said sales at restaurants open at least a year rose 0.1 percent globally and 0.3 percent in the U.S. But in Europe, McDonald’s biggest market, the figure fell 0.6 percent as guest counts declined. It fell 1.7 percent in the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa. In China, where the figure fell 0.9 percent, McDonald’s downplayed the effect of recent public concerns over its chicken suppliers.

The Great Reset: Technology’s advance • MACHINES

Continued from page D1 In the U.S., more than 1.1 million secretaries vanished from the job market between 2000 and 2010, their job security shattered by software that lets bosses field calls themselves and arrange their own meetings and trips. Over the same period, the number of telephone operators plunged by 64 percent, word processors and typists by 63 percent, travel agents by 46 percent and bookkeepers by 26 percent, according to Labor Department statistics. Does technology also create jobs? Of course. But at nowhere near the rate that it’s killing them off — at least for the foreseeable future. Here’s a look at three technological factors reshaping the economies and job markets in developed countries:

BIG DATA

At the heart of the biggest technological changes today is what computer scientists call “Big Data.” Computers thrive on information, and they’re feasting on an unprecedented amount of it — from the Internet, from Twitter messages and other social media sources, from the barcodes and sensors being slapped on everything from boxes of Huggies diapers to stamping machines in car plants. According to a Harvard Business Review article by Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, more information now crosses the Internet every second than the entire Internet stored 20 years ago. Every hour, they note, Wal-Mart collects 50 million filing cabinets’ worth of information from its dealings with customers. No human could make sense of so much data. But computers can. They can sift through mountains of information and deliver valuable insights to decision-makers in businesses and government agencies. “What’s different to me is the raw amount of data out there because of the Web, because of these devices, because we’re attaching sensors to things,” says McAfee, principal research scientist at MIT’s Center for Digital Business and the co-author of “Race Against the Machine.” “The fuel of science is data,” he says. “We have so much

PG&E employee Art Liscano, 66, reads a meter at a house in Clovis, Calif. The number of meter readers in the U.S. fell from 48,000 in 2000 to 36,000 in 2010. Every day, PG&E replaces 1,200 old-fashioned meters with digital versions that can collect information without human help. more of that rocket fuel.” Software entrepreneur Martin Ford says “organizations are collecting huge amounts of data about their internal operations and about what their employees are doing.” The computers can use that information to “figure out how to do a great many jobs” that humans do now.

THE CLOUD In the old days — say, five years ago — businesses that had to track lots of information needed to install servers in their offices and hire technical staff to run them. “Cloud computing” has changed everything. Now, companies can store information on the Internet — perhaps through Amazon Web Services or Google App Engine — and grab it when they need it. And they don’t need to hire experts to do it. Cloud computing “is a catch-all term for the ability to rent as much computer power as you need without having to buy it, without having to know a lot about it,” McAfee says. “It really has opened up very high-powered computing to the masses.” Hilliard’s Beer in Seattle, founded in October 2011, bought software from the German company SAP that allows it to use cloud computing to track sales and inventory and to produce the reports that federal regulators require. “It automates a lot of the stuff that we do,” owner Ryan Hilliard says. “I know what it takes to run a server. I didn’t

want to hire an IT guy.”

SMARTER MACHINES Though many are still working out the kinks, software is making machines and devices smarter every year. They can learn your habits, recognize your voice, do the things that travel agents, secretaries and interpreters have traditionally done. Microsoft has unveiled a system that can translate what you say into Mandarin and play it back — in your voice. The Google Now personal assistant can tell you if there’s a traffic jam on your regular route home and suggest an alternative. Talk to Apple’s Siri and she can reschedule an appointment. Besides becoming more powerful and creative, machines and their software are becoming easier to use. That has made consumers increasingly comfortable relying on them to transact business. As well as eliminated jobs of bank tellers, ticket agents and checkout cashiers. People who used to say “Let me talk to a person. I don’t want to deal with this machine” are now using check-in kiosks at airports and self-checkout lanes at supermarkets and drugstores, says Jeff Connally, CEO of CMIT Solutions, a technology consultancy. The most important change in technology, he says, is “the profound simplification of the user interface.” So machines are getting smarter and people are more

comfortable using them. Those factors, combined with the financial pressures of the Great Recession, have led companies and government agencies to cut jobs the past five years, yet continue to operate just as well. How is that happening? •฀ When฀ the฀ Great฀ Recession struck, the Seattle police department didn’t have money to replace retiring officers. So it turned to technology — a new software system that lets police officers file crime-scene reports from laptops in their patrol cars. The software was nothing fancy, just a collection of forms and pull-down menus, but the impact was huge. The shift from paper eliminated the need for two dozen transcribers and filing staff at police headquarters, and freed desk-bound officers to return to the streets. Thanks to the software, the department has been able to maintain the number of cops patrolling the streets at 600 the past five years by reassigning 55 non-patrol officers to beats. •฀ In฀ South฀ Korea,฀ Standard Chartered is expanding “smart banking” branches that employ a staff of three, compared with an average of about eight in traditional branches. The bank has closed a dozen full-service branches, replacing them with the smart branches, and expects to have 30 more by the end of this year. Customers do most of their banking on computer

screens, and can connect with Standard Chartered specialists by video-conference if they need help. •฀ The฀ British-Australian฀ mining giant Rio Tinto announced plans last year to invest $518 million in the world’s first long-haul, heavyduty driverless train system at its Pilbara iron ore mines in Western Australia. The trains are part of what Rio Tinto calls its “Mine of the Future” program, which includes 150 driverless trucks and automated drills. •฀ A฀ driverless฀ car฀ introduced by Google in 2010 and the Pentagon’s drone aircraft are raising the specter of highways and skies filled with cars and planes that can get around by themselves. “A pilotless airliner is going to come; it’s just a question of when,” James Albaugh, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airlines, said in 2011 to IEEE Spectrum magazine. “You’ll see it in freighters first, over water probably, landing very close to the shore.” Unmanned trains already have arrived. The United Arab Emirates introduced the world’s longest automated rail system – 32 miles – in Dubai in 2009. Driverless cars will have a revolutionary impact on traffic one day – and the job market. In the United States alone, 3.1 million people drive trucks for a living, 573,000 drive buses, 342,000 drive taxis or limousines. All those jobs will be threatened by automated vehicles. •฀Phone฀companies฀and฀gas฀ and electric utilities are using technology to reduce their

payrolls. Since 2007, for instance, telecommunications giant Verizon has increased its annual revenue 19 percent – while employing 17 percent fewer workers. Verizon also makes it easier for customers to deal with problems themselves without calling a repairman. From their homes, consumers can open Verizon’s In-home Agent software on their computers. The system can determine why a cable TV box isn’t working or why the Internet connection broke – and fix the problem in minutes. The program has been downloaded more than 2 million times, Verizon says. And then there are the meter readers like PG&E’s Liscano. Their future looks grim. Southern California Edison finished its digital meter installation program late last year. All but 20,000 of its 5.3 million customers have their power usage beamed directly to the utility. Nearly all of the 972 meter readers in Southern California Edison’s territory accepted retirement packages or were transferred within the company, says Pat Lavin of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. But 92 workers are being laid off this month. “Trying to keep it from happening would have been like the Teamsters in the early 1900s trying to stop the combustion engine,” Lavin says. “You can’t stand in the way of technology.”

•฀ COMING฀ FRIDAY:฀ Will฀ smart machines create a world without work?

Imagining a future when machines have all the jobs PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON – Martin Ford saw it everywhere, even in his own business. Smarter machines and better software were helping companies do more work with fewer people. His Silicon Valley software firm used to put its programs on discs and ship them to customers. The discs were made, packaged and delivered by human beings. Now Ford’s customers can just download the software to their computers – no discs, no packaging, no delivery workers. “It is getting easier and easier to avoid hiring people by taking advantage of technology,” Ford says. An ordinary entrepreneur might simply have welcomed the cost savings. But something nagged at Ford: He wondered how a consumer economy – and 70 percent of the U.S. economy consists of consumer spending – could function if machines kept dislodging the workers who did the vast majority of the spending. “At some point you simply will have too few viable consumers to power a healthy economy,” he says. So in 2009 he thought through what would happen to the economy if machines kept replacing human workers. The result was his book,

“The Lights in the Tunnel.” Ford, 49, describes a nightmare scenario. Machines leave 75 percent of American workers unemployed by 2089. Consumer spending collapses. Even those who are still working slash spending and save everything they can; they fear their jobs are doomed, too. As people lose work, they stop contributing to Social Security, potentially bankrupting the retirement system. Ford knows that his apocalyptic vision defies history. For two centuries, technological advances – from steam power to the combustion engine – have delivered more economic growth, more wealth, more and better jobs. “The historical argument is compelling,” he says. “It’s been going on for 200 years.” But this time is different, Ford contends. Machines can do more and more human work. They don’t just replace human brawn the way older machines did; increasingly, they substitute machine power for human brainpower. And their powers will only grow. Computing power doubles every 18 months to two years. “Information technology continues to advance exponentially,” Ford says. “So the future impact is potentially going to be much greater than anything we have seen thus far.”

Just look at what the military is doing: waging war with drone aircraft, deploying robots to sniff out bombs in Afghanistan. “If you can build machines that operate autonoAP photo mously on the battlefield, you can build machines that oper- Author Martin Ford poses for a portrait in San Francisco.

In this face of such relentless competition, what can mere humans do? Don’t fight technology, Ford says. Smarter machines will make life better and increase wealth in the economy. The challenge, he says, is to make sure the benefits are shared when most workers have been supplanted by machines. He suggests imposing massive taxes on companies, It’s time you got what you want.

Family dilemma solved by building new house Jerry Kuyper

GENEVA – Shelly and Scott Saunders were in a bit of a hurry when the couple faced relocation recently. For business reasons, they had to move from the Cincinnati suburbs to the Chicago area and find a place to live. Scott’s new office was in Naperville. The beginning of public school for their two children was just around the corner. At first the couple looked for a resale home but, on second look, a new house became the viable option. The couple began a house search in Chicago’s suburbs

which led them to the Mill Creek community west of Randall Road near Interstate 90. Requirements for the couple included reputable schools and a subdivision with a hometown feel to it. They said Mill Creek fit the bill. School-age children attend schools within Geneva Community Unit School District No. 304, including Mill Creek Elementary and Fabyan Elementary. A Village Center offers on-site retailers, such as a grocery store, dry cleaners and a dentist. During the summer there is a clubhouse and outdoor swimming pool. Approximately 900 acres of the master-planned community is open space dedicated to outdoor recreation and ecological preservation. Mill

Creek features 127 acres of preserved wetlands, 195 acres of open parks and 17 miles of nature and bike trails. Two golf courses meander through the community. “Initially we were shopping for a resale home,” Shelly said. “We knew exactly what we wanted but were unable to find an existing home that met our needs. We were looking at resale homes in Mill Creek and saw that they also built custom homes and spoke with Craig Shodeen. We were impressed that he didn’t try to hard sell us. We discussed what we wanted. He listened and ended up designing a four-bedroom, four-and-one-half bath home for us that had everything we wanted.”

• BUILDER Continued from page F1

Sjodin Custom Homes, the custom building affiliate of Shodeen Residential, built the Saunders house. Sjodin can build custom housing or modify an existing plan from a company portfolio. Prices start at $526,240 for house and site. Many sites offer golf course and pond views with walk-out and look-out basement options. The custom house for the Saunders family was built in 125 days. The speed impressed the husband and wife. They had built a new house before and the experience was “just OK.” This time around, the process was more organized. “We won’t dig a home until all selections are made and signed off on,” Sjodin interior designer Samantha Shodeen said. She was involved with the Saunders couple from start to finish, from trim selections to design through the building process. “With the Saunders being from Ohio, they came into town for a week to make selections. I met them at all of their appointments and everything else was successfully handled over the phone and by email,” the interior designer said. “We encourage our buyers to visit a variety of places. There are so many possibilities that exist to truly personalize your home.

“We pride ourselves on regular communication with our homeowners from start to finish.” “This was the easiest build and move we’ve had and was relatively stress-free,” Shelly said. “I was surprised that we needed to decide on our colors, lighting and options before we even broke ground but when the process started it went so smoothly. Samantha and Craig were very helpful in assisting with selections and said it would take 125 days to complete construction. We closed on the 126th day. “ In the end, making all the selections up front made the whole process so much easier, especially since we were not able to be around for much of the construction phase. There weren’t many, if any, delays. Craig and Samantha were very good about communicating with us,” she added. “Our home has extra trim work throughout and we opted for a Great Room,” Shelly continued. “In the master bath we eliminated the soaking tub, installed a large spa-like shower and added a coffee bar area in the master suite. Our laundry room area is separated from the mud room by a pocket door. “Also, Craig had a great idea to add a hearth room area with a see-through fireplace by our kitchen table where beyond that we have a three-season room.

“There’s a bonus room for the kids upstairs where they each have their own desk. There is a place to play Wii and a sitting area to watch television when they don’t want to watch football on Sundays with us.” According to Samantha Shodeen, much thought went into the kitchen. “Scott enjoys cooking so he conducted research and knew just what he wanted. They chose a Wolf oven and a second oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a microwave drawer built into the kitchen work island, pot filler by the stove, dual spice racks on either side of the oven and a walk-in hidden pantry,” she said. “The lantern light fixtures throughout the kitchen, front hallway and foyer are my favorite.” The school situation made the decision to build a new house easier. “We have two children in school and so far living here has been great. There are so many kids in the neighborhood; everyone is friendly and welcoming. We definitely made the right choice in community and neighborhood” Shelly concluded. Mill Creek is close to historic downtown Geneva and shopping outlets on Randall Road. A Metra train station is minutes away by car. The Geneva Commons shopping center also has a variety of shops, stores and restaurants. Sales hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For information, call 630-232-

AURORA - Ryland Homes has unveiled a furnished model in a sales center featuring Smart Technology at the Ingham Park subdivision. Prospective buyers can tour not only a furnished model house but also benefit from touch-screen visuals of interactive floor plan layouts. The layouts can be adapted at the push of a button. Shoppers can get ideas for furniture placement on layouts and up-tothe minute information on the availability of the 41 sites and two houses available for immediate delivery. “Ryland pays close attention to buyer feedback, examining every aspect of the home, and regularly adapting floor plans to provide what buyers truly want,” Ryland’s marketing manager for the company’s Chicago division, Rebekka Koehl, said. “For example, we introduced a new kitchen design that relocates the microwave from above the stove to a built-in wall location above an oven to accommodate a sleek built-in hood and fan above the stove, providing a dramatic focal point in the kitchen.” She added, “We also have listened and responded to a frequent comment from home shoppers: Secondary bedrooms need to provide space

for their children’s active lifestyles. We have enlarged the secondary bedrooms, and located windows and closets to create more functional spaces.” Ingham Park offers a seven home designs. All have four bedrooms, three-car garages, basements and nine-foot first floor ceilings. The bath count ranges from two-and-one-half baths to four. There are several elevation options for each design and these options can be visualized and changed in the sales center with the touchscreen technology. Prices range from $224,990 to $306,990 with designs ranging from 2,257 to 3,800 square feet of living space. Ingham Park salesman Demetrios Danigeles said there is a grand opening special offering limited-time savings on the first five homes sold.

B. Cybrill wrote, “When the bold branches / Bid farewell to rainbow leaves / Welcome wool sweaters.” Now, in the depth of winter, we can relate to that. At the bridge table, when we bid farewell to the auction, whether colorful or monochrome, we welcome hot leads. Look at West’s hand. What should he lead against four spades after the given auction? Note North’s onediamond response. With a good hand, bid the longest suit irst. Do not skip diamonds to show a major except with a weak hand (and only then if the major is particularly strong). Then, on the second round, North makes a splinter bid, indicating four-card spade support, at least gamegoing values, and a singleton or void in clubs. South, with so much in clubs and three low hearts, signs off in game. (If you do not use splinters, North should rebid four spades.) West has two sensible lead choices: the diamond queen (top of touching honors) and the heart two (low from an honor). In general,

leading an unbid suit works better than one in a suit bid by an opponent. Also, North rates to have at least ive diamonds. With four diamonds and four spades, he might have responded one spade. Here, the heart lead is necessary. East, knowing West has length and strength in the suit, wins the irst trick with his jack, cashes the ace, and continues with a third round. Then he awaits the setting trick with his high trump. After a diamond lead, South, aided by the club jack dropping, can win 12 tricks.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Two relevant changes in your basic lifestyle could be in the offing in the year ahead. Even if you have nothing to do with initiating them, both are likely to work out to your ultimate advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t be foolish enough to attempt to do something that you failed miserably at in the past. Unless you profit from your mistakes, you’re destined to repeat them. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even though your way of doing things might be superior to others’ methods, unless you handle matters in a humble manner, others will be unwilling to follow your lead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be careful what you say when making a suggestion. Your intention might be good, but your choice of words could be offensive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Financial gains and losses are both possible during this cycle, so unless you’re careful, poor judgment could wreck your bottom line. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s essential that you distinguish between when to assert yourself and when to back off. If you get your signals crossed, you could end up looking bad. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even though you’re usually pretty good at keeping others’ secrets, if you’re not careful today, you could let something slip out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although you’ll be exceptionally practical and prudent in areas where you have little to gain, strangely, you might be somewhat foolish when it comes to more costly matters. Reverse that formula. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your interests should never become so important that you’d do something shameful. Maintain your high standards at all times. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Advice to others based upon personal knowledge and experience can be extremely helpful. The opposite would be true if you pretend to know something you don’t. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be extremely careful, whether you’re handling your own fiscal affairs or those of another. In either case, things could become perilous if you’re sloppy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It’s important that you don’t ignore wise counsel just because it comes from someone you don’t like, while accepting the advice of a friend whose judgment is usually poor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Unless you schedule your time well, you could become very busy accomplishing nothing of any importance. Be proficient, not frenetic.
