At a glance Perhaps the most discussed and most politicized aspects of Barack Obama’s proposals have been his push to reinstate an expired federal assault weapons ban, as well as restore the 10-round limit on ammunition magazines.

By sARAH sUtsCHEK

ssutschek@shawmedia.com After President Barack Obama unveiled his gun violence package last week, several local police chiefs emphasized one point: the need to address mental health. “It’s such a complicated issue, and we always focus on guns because that’s the easiest thing to focus on,” Huntley Police Chief John Perkins said. “I’m not saying it’s good or bad; I’m just saying the real issue is mental health issues.” Obama’s executive orders acknowledge the problem, including releasing a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to the police. His legislative ideas also include ensuring young people get the mental health treatment they need and that insurance plans cover mental health benefits. The point is especially poignant for McHenry County. The largest social service agency – Family Service and Community Mental Health Center – closed over the summer because of financial issues, caused in part by the state being behind more than $850,000 on its payments to the agency. Perkins said two groups of people shouldn’t have guns: criminals and the mentally ill. It’s how to go about keeping the guns away from them

Tips can help high school students solve college funding issue By sHAWn sHInnEMAn

sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Alisha Soto knows what she’ll study next year and where she wants to go. It’s the finances she doesn’t have figured out yet. “I know I’m definitely going to have to take out student loans,” Soto said. “My mom’s going to try to help, but my mom’s a single mom with three kids. ... Hopefully that incentive will push for a little more financial aid.” The 18-year-old senior at

Woodstock High School isn’t alone in holding out for help. For the 2010-11 academic year, the annual cost for a year of undergraduate tuition, room and board was estimated at $13,600 at public institutions, $36,300 at private nonprofit institutions and $23,500 at private for-profit institutions, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. And with a job market still in recovery, many students are doing what they can to ease the financial burdens of higher education.

By the numbers A look at average college costs for the 2012-13 academic year at a sampling of universities in Illinois. Amounts include estimated costs of tuition and other expenses, including room and board, fees, books and supplies and living expenses. • Eastern Illinois University: $24,274.00 (in-state) • northern Illinois University: $19,811.20 (in-state) • northwestern University: $61,240 • southern Illinois University: $24,435.00 (in-state) • University of Chicago: $62,425 • University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: $29,002 to $33,922 (in-state)

Cost of early retirement for Ill. teachers could increase

If program is repealed, system would have to give more than $200M back to teachers By doUG FInKE

GateHouse News Service

SPRINGFIELD – Teachers and school districts will have to pay significantly more in the future to participate in an early-retirement option to cover the program’s costs. That is, if the General Assembly acts this spring to

keep the program in place. If it doesn’t, the program will be repealed June 30, and the Teachers’ Retirement System would have to give more than $200 million back to teachers. “We certainly support the early-retirement option,” said Jim Reed, director of government relations for the Illinois Education Association. “What

contribution to cover the cost. In addition, all active TRS members contribute to the cost of the option. Teachers pay 9.4 percent of their salaries toward their pensions. Of that, 0.4 percent goes toward the early-retirement option. The money is refunded without interest if a member retires without tak-

ing early retirement. Last summer, though, TRS’s consultant determined that those contributions cover only 86 percent of the cost. The consultant recommended about a 25 percent increase in the lump-sum payments made by both the teacher and school district when someone elects to take early retirement. Those higher contributions

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

County Board: Voters can’t be trusted Call me Manti Te’o. Naive, I mean. Call me naive. ... Yes, that’s it. While I wasn’t tricked into believing I had an online girlfriend who later died of leukemia even though she never really existed, I was duped by several members of the McHenry County Board. How so? I actually took them at their word last fall when they were candidates for their current seats. You’d think I’d know better after following politics for so long, but I guess not. Let me explain. Before each election, the Northwest Herald Editorial Board invites candidates for local office in to discuss the issues. I’m a member of the Editorial Board, and because all 24 County Board seats were up last year because of postcensus redistricting, I got to meet quite a few people. One of the hot local topics leading up to the November election was how the County Board chairman is selected. In McHenry County, voters do not elect their County Board chairman. Instead, voters elect their representatives to the County Board by district. The board members themselves then choose their chairman every two years. State Rep. Jack Franks, our Editorial Board and others have been calling on the County Board to put a referendum on the ballot asking voters whether they’d rather elect their chairman directly at the polls. A chairman elected by voters countywide is accountable to everyone. A chairman elected by his fellow board members is accountable only to the other board members and the voters in his or her district. Not surprisingly, the County Board resisted the calls. Forget voters, the board members themselves know better. But Franks decided to take matters in his own hands, and collected enough signatures to get a referendum on the ballot. Because the popularly elected chairman referendum had to come from the County Board itself, Franks’ alternative referendum would have, if approved, changed the county to an executive form of government. Without getting into all of the details here, an executive government would be dramatically different from what we have now. Yes, voters countywide would elect the executive, but the executive would have a lot more power than the current board chairman has. Our Editorial

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – The U.S. Marine Corps, known for turning out some of the military’s toughest warriors, is studying how to make its troops even tougher through meditative practices, yoga-type stretching and exercises based on mindfulness. Marine Corps officials say they will build a curriculum that would integrate mindfulness-based techniques into their training if they see positive results from a pilot project. Mindfulness is a Buddhist-inspired concept that emphasizes active attention on the moment to keep the mind in the present. Facing a record suicide rate and thousands of veterans seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress, the military has been searching for ways to reduce strains on service members burdened with more than a decade of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

series of brain calming exercises called “Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training” that they believe could enhance the performance of troops, who are under mounting pressures from long deployments and looming budget cuts expected to slim down forces. “Some people might say these are Eastern-based religious practices but this goes way beyond that,” said Jeffery Bearor, the executive deputy of the Marine Corps training and education command at its headquarters in Quantico, Va. “This is not tied to any religious practice. This is about mental preparation to better handle stress.” The School Infantry-West at Camp Pendleton will offer the eight-week course starting Tuesday to about 80 Marines. The experiment builds on a 2011 study involving 160 Marines who were taught to focus their attention by concentrating on their body’s sensations, including breathing, in a period of silence. The Marines practiced the calm-

ing methods after being immersed in a mock Afghan village with screaming actors and controlled blasts to expose them to combat stress. Naval Health Research Center scientist Douglas C. Johnson, who is leading the research, monitored their reactions by looking at blood and saliva samples, images of their brains and problemsolving tests they took. Another 160 other Marines went through the mock village with no mindfulness-based training, acting as the control group. Results from the 2011 study are expected to be published this spring. The latest study by Johnson will compare three groups of Marines, whose biological reactions will be also monitored. One group of about 80 will receive mindfulness-based training. Another of equal size will be given mental resilience training based on sports psychology techniques. The third one will act as a control group. Results from that study are expected in the fall, Marine Corps officials said.

Marines studying meditative training

Do you support the president’s gun control plans? Did the NHL lockout affect your interest in hockey this year?

Board opposed it. The referendum was defeated at the polls by about a 2-to-1 margin. During our meetings with candidates in September, we asked each of them this question: If the county executive referendum loses, would you support placing another referendum on the ballot asking voters whether they’d rather elect the County Board chairman at-large? The vast majority said they would. Not all said they’d actually support passage of such a referendum. In fact, many said they preferred the status quo. But the vast majority agreed that voters should decide the issue. Fortunately, I took notes. Surprisingly, I still have them. That brings me back to the present. On Friday, the County Board held a special meeting to decide that very question – whether to place a chairman referendum on the April ballot. By an 11-9 vote with four members absent, the board decided against it. A majority of board members deciding the issue, then, don’t think voters should have a say on the matter. They know better, apparently. Of the 11 “no” votes Friday, six told us in September that they would support placing an at-large chairman referendum on the ballot. Those six who reversed their preelection statements are: • Anna May Miller, District 1. • Robert Nowak, District 1. • Carolyn Schofield, District 2. • Jim Heisler, District 2. • Sue Draffkorn, District 4. • Robert Martens, District 4. Three of Friday’s “no” votes – Diane Evertsen, Ersel Schuster and Ken Koehler – said last fall they would not support putting another referendum on the ballot. Though they also don’t trust voters, they at least stuck with their previous position. The final two “no” votes Friday were from Nick Chirikos and new County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill. Hill told us in September she would support another referendum only if she heard overwhelming support for it from her constituents. I suggest that District 5 residents give her a call. Chirikos never answered the question directly. I’m disappointed in

myself that I did not push him for a direct response. In a written response to a questionnaire we sent candidates, he, like Hill, said that board members should take the issue up with constituents before deciding. Of the four board members absent Friday, three – Paula Yensen, Mary McClellan and John Hammerand – all resoundingly said in September that they would support placing the second referendum on the ballot. Mary McCann said she would support “looking at” placing another referendum on the ballot. Had two of the six flip-floppers voted the other way, or three of the four absent board members attended and voted the way they said they would, we would be deciding in April whether to make the County Board chairman accountable to all county voters. Instead, the County Board decided it doesn’t trust voters with the decision. Board members know better. Voters will need to decide whether they trust these people to represent them past their current terms. ••• Speaking of Te’o: The unbelievable story of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o and his dead-girlfriend-who-neveractually-existed is mind-boggling. How much Te’o knew about the hoax and when is the million-dollar question, of course. He gave his version late Friday in an interview with ESPN. But as a journalist, what blows me away is the pathetic reporting practiced by both local and national media on this story before Deadspin.com revealed the hoax last week. We all make our mistakes. That certainly includes me. But confirming key facts about a major subject in a story such as this is Journalism 101. How one media outlet can report about a car accident (that never happened) involving Te’o’s supposed girlfriend and her death from leukemia (which, of course, didn’t happen; she didn’t exist) without confirming details of the accident or the death is troubling. How so many media outlets can do so is something far worse. Everyone in journalism should be as embarrassed as I’m sure Te’o is about this whole mess.

Reporters get look at troubled Ill. prison The ASSOCIATED PRESS VANDALIA – A southern Illinois prison has opened its doors to journalists in the wake of a watchdog group’s 2011 report of overcrowding, flooding and crumbling and unsanitary basement dormitories. The minimum-security Vandalia Correctional Center allowed journalists in Friday for a close look at the facility’s expanding vocational programs for inmates, something that even watchdog group The John Howard Association noted as a positive in its otherwise troubling report from its June 2011 visit. The Illinois Department of Corrections is mired in a tumultuous period. Gov. Pat Quinn is closing two Illinois prisons that he says are too costly to operate, prompting an outcry from prison workers and their union that doing so will worsen the system’s severe overcrowding and make the facilities more dangerous for employees and inmates. Despite the budget constraints, officials at Vandalia have been able to maintain and even expand work experience programs with the aim of helping keep inmates from returning after their release.

Marvin Greenleaf, a 51year-old former drug dealer from Chicago who is serving his 11th prison sentence since 1983, told reporters that working at the prison’s meat plant has given him a sense of pride and a better work ethic. “I know I can go out there and make something happen on the legitimate side,” Greenleaf said, according to the (Decatur) Herald & Review. “I can go and cut somebody’s grass. I can go and paint somebody’s gutters, paint somebody’s back porch.” He earns about $45 a week, which he sends home instead of having his wife send him money. He says he’s determined to help support her when he is released. More than 70 percent of Vandalia’s 1,647 inmates are enrolled in educational or vocational programs, including auto body repair, construction and gardening, said vocational program coordinator Kathleen Mattingly. Vandalia inmates will also be able to work with retired racehorses under a program in the works. She said she believes interaction with horses will help inmates “to begin to feel the sense of loving someone who will come to depend on them.”

Interpreter uses sign to help student The ASSOCIATED PRESS MOUNT ZION – Lydia Henson spends her work days going from high school class to high school class with student Chandler Hudson, interpreting into sign language the things the teachers and other students say in class. Hudson is hearing-impaired, and Henson is the only certified educational interpreter in the Macon-Piatt Special Education District. “This is not unique to Macon-Piatt,” said Kathy Massey, assistant director of special education. “We all have trouble finding interpreters who are certified, and I think part of it is the continuing hours on campus. We’re always looking for standard approval issued by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.” Most students with hearing impairments don’t require a full-time interpreter, Massey said. She has a hearing impairment herself, and with the help of hearing aids and some accommodations, she attended regular classes as a child. Most students today are the same way. In cases where interpretation is necessary, a teaching assistant trained in Signing Exact English can help out. SEE is preferable to American Sign Language, Massey

Interpreter Lydia Henson (right) signs for student Chandler Hudson, who is hearing impaired, while teacher Barbara Gottemoll leads the chemistry class at Mount Zion High School in Mount Zion. said, because signing word for word helps students learn to read and communicate more easily than if they use the unique grammar and vocabulary of ASL. “We believe, in Macon-Piatt, in total communication, signed American English, correct pronunciation, exact grammar and lip reading,” Massey said. “Honestly, if you are going to be in a world that is hearing, trying to use communication strategies that work for you instead of a language that most people don’t know.” Becoming a certified interpreter, whether for sign or spoken language, is not easy.

Henson studied at St. Louis Community College and had to pass a difficult exam, both written and practical. And it would be very unusual for her to be in a life or death situation. Medical interpreters are under even more stress than educational ones. Horror stories abound of a family member or unqualified interpreter mistranslating – or the patient misunderstanding, and a test that wasn’t ordered – a treatment refused, a medication taken wrongly, and permanent damage done. “We hear countless stories,” said Izabel Arocha,

executive director of the International Medical Interpreters Association. “It can be very simple, such as the nurse saying you’re going home today, and nurses tend to think patients understand. The patient understood ‘You can go home now.’ ” In that case, the hospital had to call the patient back because she had not been released. In another, Arocha said, a Muslim patient refused chemotherapy because of religious prohibitions against having a pump attached. The person translating had failed to make clear that the chemotherapy would be delivered by injections.

8STATE BRIEFS Chicago Bar musicians to present Lincoln concert

SPRINGFIELD – Chicago judges and lawyers will serenade Abraham Lincoln on his birthday Feb. 16 in Springfield. The Chicago Bar Association Chorus and Symphony will perform folk songs and spirituals, along with musical works and narrative readings about the 16th president and the Civil War era. The concert will be at 7 p.m. at the Old State Capitol. Lincoln served as a state legislator in the building. Judges, attorneys and other members of Chicago’s legal community make up the chorus and orchestra. It’s now in its seventh season. Donations of $10 a person and $15 per family are suggested. Professional actor and chorus member Kevin Bry also will present a lecture and performance comparing Lincoln’s life

to a Shakespearean drama at 2:30 that day.

Federal jury awards $12 million to prisoner

CHICAGO – A federal jury has awarded $12 million in damages to an inmate at a northern Illinois prison who was left severely disabled by an epileptic seizure he suffered while behind bars. On Friday, jurors found that officials at Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet knew Ray Fox needed epilepsy medication and yet failed to provide it to him. Fox is 50 years old. He had a seizure in his cell in 2007 and suffered a serious head injury as a result. According to his lawyers, Fox and fellow inmates had been asking prison personnel to give him his medication for several days before the seizure.

Early-retirement option is not part of pension reform proposal • TEACHERS

Continued from page A1

will cover 100 percent of the program’s costs. “It becomes problematic for people to make that kind of payment, and so fewer and fewer people are taking it,” said IEA President Cinda Klickna. In fact, the number of teachers selecting the earlyretirement option has steadily declined, according to TRS. In the 2008 budget year, 480 of the 3,260 teacher retirements were from early-retirement participants. In 2012, it was 370 out of 5,266. Currently, a teacher who wants to participate in the early-retirement option must make a lump-sum payment of 11.5 percent of his salary for each year under 60. A person making $80,000 would have to pay $9,200 to retire one year early. That goes up to $36,800 for retiring four years early. The Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability is recommending that the employee payment be increased to 14.4 percent. That would kick the payment up to $11,500 for someone retiring one year early. School districts would also see the amount they must pay increase by about 25 percent. They now pay 23.5 percent of a person’s salary for each year of early retirement. That

would increase to 29.3 percent. Springfield school spokesman Pete Sherman said the increased costs are a concern. “It’s just one more squeeze that makes it more difficult for us to function,” Sherman said. Springfield has 28 employees planning to use the earlyretirement option this school year, and 23 have notified the district they plan to use it next year. Under the law, the General Assembly must approve the new lump-sum contribution rates by June 30 or the program will expire. If the program does expire, TRS must make refunds to participants. “We’d have to do that within the upcoming fiscal year,” said TRS spokesman Dave Urbanek. “It’s at least $200 million.” The amount is not that large within the context of a $36 billion pension system, but Reed noted that “when you are talking about what might appear to be a small amount of money when the state is so underfunded with pensions, every little amount is going to draw attention.” Continuation of the earlyretirement option is not part of a comprehensive pension reform proposal filed in the House by Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook. “It may be part of our discussion as we move ahead,” Nekritz said.

Dems to celebrate inauguration, On 2nd term eve, Obama cites commitment to service quiet reflection for Republicans By DAVID ESPO

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – On the brink of a second term, President Barack Obama invoked Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to service Saturday as inauguration-goers flocked to the capital city for a distinctly American celebration including an oath-taking as old as the republic, a splashy parade and partying enough to last four years. “I think we’re on the cusp of some really great things,” Vice President Joe Biden predicted for a country still recovering from a deep recession. Freshly built inaugural stands at the Capitol gleamed white in the sun, and hundreds of chairs for special guests were set out on the lawn that spills down toward the National Mall as the president and vice president began their inauguration weekend. Julius Cherry, in town from Sacramento, Calif., brought his family to the foot of the Capitol to see the area where their official tickets will let them watch the public ceremonies on Monday. “There were people who said they’d never vote for an African-American president,” the 58-year-old lawyer said.

“Now they’ve voted for him twice, and he won the popular vote and the electoral vote. That says something about his policies and his team.” “And the country,” added Cherry’s wife, Donna. Said Erika Goergen, from the Midwest and attending college locally: “It’s amazing to be here right now.” Officials estimated that as many as 800,000 people will attend Monday’s public ceremonies. That’s more than live in the city, if far fewer than the 1.8 million w h o w e r e a t President Obama’s first Barack inauguration Obama in 2009. The president made only a glancing reference to race as he spoke at an elementary school not far from the White House after he and first lady Michelle Obama stained a bookcase as part of a national service event organized by the inaugural committee. “We think about not so much the inauguration, but we think about this is Dr. King’s birthday we’re going to be celebrating this weekend,” the president said. “He said everybody wants

to be first, everybody wants to be a drum major. But if you’re going to be a drum major, be a drum major for service, be a drum major for justice, be a drum major for looking out for other people,” Obama said of the civil rights leader whose birthday is celebrated as a national holiday on Monday. Because the date for inauguration set in the Constitution, Jan. 20, falls on a Sunday this year, Obama and Biden were to be sworn in for second terms in separate, private ceremonies on today. The public ceremonies are set for Monday, when Obama will take the oath of office at noon, then deliver an inaugural address before a large crowd and a national television audience in the millions. The traditional lunch with lawmakers in the Capitol follows, and the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House. There, a reviewing stand was adorned with the presidential seal and equipped with seats enough for Obama and other dignitaries to watch in relative comfort as military units, marching bands, floats and thousands of participants go past. A pair of inauguration balls will cap the day, including one with a guest list that runs to 40,000 names.

By KEN THOMAS

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For many Republicans, this is a good weekend to get away from it all. With hundreds of thousands of Democrats traveling to nation’s capital for President Barack Obama’s inauguration activities, Republicans and supporters of last fall’s GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, are leaving town, or staying put and trying to avoid the crowds. After failing to recapture the White House for a second time, many are not exactly in a partying mood. “It’s a good time to lay low,” said John Feehery, the president of Quinn Gillespie Communications and a former top congressional aide.

As Democrats prepare to mark Obama’s second inauguration on Monday by bundling up along the parade route or dressing up for balls, Republicans are spending the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend with quick vacation getaways, quiet time at home or trips to the movie theater. Few plan any “mourning parties” or “bawls” that have been the staples of past inaugural festivities for the party out of power. But invitations to parties tend to be scarce if your candidate lost, and watching TV provides a constant reminder of November’s elections. “Invitations must have gotten lost in the mail!” former Romney adviser Ed Gillespie wrote in an email saying he had no major plans for the

weekend. Charlie Spies, an attorney and co-founder of the proRomney super political action committee Restore Our Future, was in Las Vegas for the weekend, hosting about 100 Republicans, including some former Romney campaign aides, at events in the Wynn Las Vegas and Venetian Resort Hotel Casino. Spies held a similar gathering for about 20 friends and associates four years ago but said he was surprised by the amount of interest this time. “I was expecting more than 20 but no place near this response,” he said. “But I think people were excited to have an opportunity to be someplace other than D.C. and let President Obama and his supporters have their day in the sun.”

Unpopular House GOP seeks leverage vs. Obama By DAVID EsPO

The Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Celebration doesn’t seem to be high on the agenda as House Republicans, their majority renewed by the voters last fall, lay the groundwork for another challenge to President Barack Obama over federal spending. And no wonder. Their annual retreat this past week in Williamsburg had scarcely begun when they were told that disapproval ratings for Republicans in Congress had climbed to 64 percent in a poll completed a few days

earlier. Only 27 percent of the public viewed them favorably in the survey, taken by David Winston, a respected Republican pollster. A previous sounding by Winston at the very end of 2012 wasn’t much better. At the height of the controversy over the “fiscal cliff,” the most recent clash with Obama, 49 percent of those surveyed said negotiations on the issue were difficult because the tea party-heavy GOP opposed the president out of political motives. While the public strongly favors reductions in spending, only 42 percent said Republicans were acting out of a desire

to implement cuts and deal with a debt crisis – the reason party officials and lawmakers themselves repeated tirelessly. The coming confrontation will occur over the debt limit. As Republicans left one type of retreat, they began another, scrapping the brave talk reminiscent of their heady days from 2011 when they threatened to send the government into an unprecedented default in hopes it would force the White House and congressional Democrats into cutting spending. “No budget, no pay,” is their newly unveiled slogan. That means they are willing

to let the Treasury borrow money for an additional three months without demanding cuts in exchange. Instead, members of Congress would have their pay withheld if the house they serve in, either the House or the Senate, failed to pass a budget within 90 days that included spending reductions. That’s aimed squarely at the Democratic-controlled Senate, which hasn’t approved a budget in four years. “This is the first step to get on the right track, reduce our deficit and get focused on creating better living conditions for our families and children.

It’s time to come together and get to work,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia said in a statement issued as the rank and file headed back to Washington. Republicans had additional objectives. Congress and the administration face three deadlines in the coming months, and Republicans want to rearrange the order in which they occur. The debt limit presumably will need to be raised first. On March 1, across-the-board spending cuts are scheduled to kick in at the Pentagon and other federal agencies. On March 27, funding expires for

most of the government, and a partial shutdown will occur unless it is renewed. Several Republican officials say the party’s objective was to increase its leverage for negotiations with the White House and congressional Democrats by finessing a crisis over the debt limit, at least for the time being. Nor did Republicans attempt to hide their political motivations. Within minutes of the end of the three-day retreat, the party’s campaign committee announced an online petition drive “to tell Senate Democrats, if you don’t pass a budget, you won’t get paid.”

Reporter: Executed killer a walking contradiction By DENA POTTER

The Associated Press

ARRATT, Va. – He gave a nod and a wink before he sat down in the electric chair, then he uttered two statements as contradictory as the man himself: a Gaelic expletive and “God bless.” Robert Gleason Jr. was playful and vicious, a protector and a predator. He was likeable and reprehensible. He sent Christmas cards and made me laugh on a bad day. He was also a killer. And on Wednesday night I watched him die. I couldn’t help but smile as Gleason strung together his last words, a mix of movie and song references that baffled the men in dark suits that lined the death chamber and the citizens and reporters with me listening intently from our green and white plastic chairs. He and I had talked several times over the past three years about what he’d say when he got there. It changed a few times. It got much shorter as the day drew closer, as he feared he’d trip over his own meticulously chosen words. In the end, he settled on lines from the Johnny Cash version of “Jackson,” which reminded him of the woman he regretted losing, and “Take it to the Limit” by the Eagles because it represented the final motorcycle ride he never got to take. I knew the expletive was coming – he’d repeated it often in his thick Boston accent. I must say I was surprised by the “God bless,” though. Gleason flashed a thumbs up as they put the metal helmet on his head and clamp on his calf, perfectly censoring a large pinup girl tattoo. He went out on his own terms, choosing 1,800 volts of electricity over lethal injection partly because he didn’t want to go lying down.

It’s easy to call Gleason a monster. I’m not even sure those who knew and loved him would disagree. He killed at least three men – strangling the last two while locked up in the state’s most secure prisons. He’d been imprisoned for killing a man whose son was cooperating with the probe of a drug ring he was involved in. But there was something about him that made me want to know more. And he was more than willing to oblige. I’ll never know exactly why Gleason opened up to me. It wasn’t infatuation. He only crossed the line once, sending me a flirtatious letter. I told him to cut it out, and he never did it again. Nor was it to convince me that he was innocent or to ask for my help, like countless other letters I’ve received from prisoners as an AP reporter. Rather, he openly discussed the graphic details of each of his crimes, and he believed passionately that he deserved to die for them. What he wanted from me, I believe, was someone to hear him out and to tell his story. I think he also liked that I didn’t tell him what he wanted to hear. We had disagreements ranging from how I wrote my stories about him to how he treated his lawyers. Several times he told me I was one of the only people in the world he trusted. I’d first written to Gleason to request an interview after he killed his cellmate, Harvey Watson Jr., in 2009. To my surprise he wrote back within a week and was more than willing to talk. As I sat across from him at Red Onion State Prison months later, he vowed that he would keep killing until the state put him to death – a threat he would repeat many times as he sought to speed up his execution. He was moved to a prison where inmates spend 23

AP file photo

Robert Gleason Jr. is escorted into a Wise County courtroom in Wise, Va. Gleason, a convicted killer, was executed Wednesday at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Va. hours each day in segregation, but months after he first made the threat, he managed to strangle another inmate, Aaron Cooper, through a separate recreation cage. I’ve kept in contact with Cooper’s mother, Kim Strickland, since then. Although she had religious objections to capital punishment, Gleason persuaded her to testify that he deserved to die by sending her excerpts from the Bible preaching an eye for an eye. We tell ourselves those sentenced to death are not like us. How could they be? What would that say about us? But in Gleason I found someone who was, in many ways, like the rest of us. This killer loved his family and was fiercely protective of them. He talked often

of his mother, who died of cancer when he was young, and of his children and how he wished he’d been a better father. He joked with my colleagues who answered when he phoned from death row and complained about the “lousy Red Sox.” He helped organize a motorcycle ride to raise money for a kid with cancer, and he took pride in the tattoos he spent years drawing on sailors, bikers and drunk coeds, and also in those that covered his own body. We laughed about our accents, and how his Boston inflection was as distinguishable as my Appalachian twang. He signed almost every letter “Bobby from Boston” and reminisced about growing up in nearby Lowell,

Mass. As his execution neared, Gleason returned to Lowell in his dreams. He said he wished he’d gone back there one last time before getting locked up. He was self-deprecating, sarcastic and always ready with a joke at an inappropriate time. He once quipped during court proceedings, “Even Ray Charles can see that, your honor.” After killing Cooper, he wrote to tell me about it and included a drawing of a man peeking over a prison wall saying, “Here we go again.” Inside, he signed it “The new and improved Boston Strangler.” He didn’t laugh, though, when I put that in my story. It was one of several times the killer and the reporter didn’t see eye to eye.

Still, it’s difficult to reconcile the guy who fretted over pictures of oil-drenched pelicans after the Gulf oil spill with the one who could kill so easily that he once likened it to grabbing a beer from the refrigerator. Gleason was adamant that he had no remorse for the lives he’d taken. He believed that before you killed a person, you’d better be able to live with what it will do to their mothers, their kids and other loved ones. If you can’t live with that, you have no business killing, he said. He once asked why I stuck with him and his story for so long, writing to him and taking his calls when most others had long tired of him. It was my job, I told him, adding that I’d stick around through his execution. Plus, I told him, he was quite fascinating. So on Wednesday I was there again, this time to tell the world his punishment had been carried out. And I was there to say goodbye. Can I call Bobby Gleason a friend? As a reporter I’m not sure I should. After all, we’re taught that you go into every story with an open mind, that you keep your feelings and beliefs from interfering. And this was a murderer, a man who not only took life but took it more than once – and was well aware of what he was doing. This is real life, though, with all the grays between the black and the white of evil and good. There’s simply no way to spend that much time interacting with someone, anyone – to learn about them and their fears and their history – and not gradually begin to see them as more than just a cold killer identified by a number. I do know one thing: I may eventually forget Prisoner No. 1059266. But I doubt I’ll ever forget Bobby Gleason.

Thousands rally against stricter gun control By WILL WEISSERT The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas – Thousands of gun advocates gathered peacefully Saturday at state capitals around the U.S. to rally against stricter limits on firearms, with demonstrators carrying rifles and pistols in some places while those elsewhere settled for waving hand-scrawled signs or screaming themselves hoarse. The size of crowds at each location varied – from dozens of people in South Dakota to 2,000 in New York. Large crowds also turned out in Connecticut, Tennessee and Texas. Some demonstrators in Phoenix and Salem, Ore., came with holstered handguns or rifles on their backs. At the Kentucky Capitol in Frankfort, attendees gave a special round of applause for “the ladies that are packin’.” Activists promoted the “Guns Across America” rallies primarily through social media. They were being held just after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping package of

Organizers said about 1,800 people from throughout Oklahoma crowded into the south plaza of the state Capitol to voice their support for their Second Amendment rights. federal gun-control proposals. The crowd swelled to more than 800 amid balmy temperatures on the steps of the pinkhued Capitol in Austin, where speakers took the microphone under a giant Texas flag with “Independent” stamped across it. Homemade placards read “An Armed Society is a Polite

Society,” “The Second Amendment Comes from God” and “Hey King O., I’m keeping my guns and my religion.” “The thing that so angers me, and I think so angers you, is that this president is using children as a human shield to advance a very liberal agenda that will do nothing to protect them,” said state Rep. Steve Toth, referencing last month’s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn. Toth, a first-term Republican lawmaker from The Woodlands outside Houston, has introduced legislation banning within Texas any future federal limits on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines, although such a measure would violate the U.S. Constitution. Rallies at statehouses nationwide were organized by Eric Reed, an airline captain from the Houston area who in November started a group called “More Gun Control (equals) More Crime.” Its Facebook page has been “liked” by more than 17,000 people.

Algerian standoff finale leaves 32 militants dead The ASSOcIATED PRESS

ALGIERS, Algeria – In a bloody finale, Algerian special forces stormed a natural gas complex in the Sahara Desert on Saturday to end a standoff with Islamist extremists that left at least 23 hostages dead and killed all 32 militants involved, the Algerian government said. With few details emerging from the remote site in eastern Algeria, it was unclear whether anyone was rescued in the final operation, but the number of hostages killed Saturday – seven – was how

many the militants had said that morning they still had. The government described the toll as provisional and some foreigners remained unaccounted for. The siege at Ain Amenas transfixed the world after radical Islamists linked to alQaida stormed the complex, which contained hundreds of plant workers from all over the world, then held them hostage surrounded by the Algerian military and its attack helicopters for four tense days that were punctuated with gun battles and dramatic tales of escape.

Algeria’s response to the crisis was typical of its history in confronting terrorists, favoring military action over negotiation, which caused an international outcry from countries worried about their citizens. Algerian military forces twice assaulted the two areas where the hostages were being held with minimal apparent mediation – first on Thursday, then on Saturday. “To avoid a bloody turn of events in response to the extreme danger of the situation, the army’s special forces launched an intervention with efficiency and professional-

ism to neutralize the terrorist groups that were first trying to flee with the hostages and then blow up the gas facilities,” Algeria’s Interior Ministry said in a statement about the standoff. Immediately after the assault, French President Francois Hollande gave his backing to Algeria’s tough tactics, saying they were “the most adapted response to the crisis.” “There could be no negotiations” with terrorists, the French media quoted him as saying in the central French city of Tulle.

Hollande said the hostages were “shamefully murdered” by their captors, and he linked the event to France’s military operation against al-Qaidabacked rebels in neighboring Mali. “If there was any need to justify our action against terrorism, we would have here, again, an additional argument,” he said. President Barack Obama said in a statement Saturday that the U.S. stood ready to provide whatever assistance was needed in the wake of the attack. “This attack is another reminder of the threat posed by

al-Qaida and other violent extremist groups in North Africa. In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with the Government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future,” the statement said. In New York, the U.N. Security Council issued a statement condemning the militants’ terrorist attack and said all perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of such “reprehensible acts” must be brought to justice.

Israeli prime minister faces tough choice if he wins re-election By JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press

JERUSALEM – After a lackluster three-month campaign, few doubt that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on his way to re-election. But the makeup of Netanyahu’s next government remains a mystery. If re-elected Tuesday, Netanyahu will face a critical decision that will define his term. He can form a majority coalition with the hard-line and religious parties he often calls his natural partners – or reach across the aisle and try to bring centrist parties into a broaderbased government that might be more amenable to pursuing peace and ending, at least partly, the occupation of the West

Bank and other territories. His decision will have deep implications. A narrow coalition of parties that oppose concessions to the Palestinians, while the easier option, would mean continued deadlock in Mideast peace efforts and increased confrontation with the international community, including Israel’s key ally, the United States. A broad coalition could force Netanyahu to give powerful Cabinet posts to more moderate figures as the price of their support, and would likely draw fierce opposition from within his own Likud Party. In either case, the odds for a breakthrough in peace talks appear faint at best because no Netanyahu-led coalition is likely to offer the Palestinians

BEIRUT – Syria’s foreign minister invited the country’s rebels Saturday to lay down their weapons and take part in a national dialogue, saying everyone who participates will be included in a new Cabinet with wide executive powers. Walid al-Moallem said in a live interview on state TV late Saturday that any opposition parties could join the Cabinet as long as they reject foreign intervention

in Syria. The Syrian government has started contacting “representatives of the Syrian people,” he added. Earlier this month, President Bashar Assad dismissed calls that he step down, vowing to keep fighting the rebels. Assad also proposed a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new constitution – concessions offered previously over the course of the uprising that began in March 2011.

Continued from page A1 that’s the problem, with myriad other issues that follow. “I can’t say what the president did was great or what the president did was bad,” Perkins said. “We have to keep the guns out of the hands of the people who aren’t supposed to have them. I don’t know the answer to that issue; it’s too complex.” Few argue with stricter background checks, but from a practical standpoint, Perkins asked who will do them and who will pay for them. In Illinois, there’s a question on FOID card paperwork that asks the applicant whether he has been a mental institution patient in the past five years. “That’s our check right now for mental health,” Perkins said. Perkins said that when he was a young police officer, it was much easier for people to be committed because they were a danger to themselves or the community. Relaxed laws for mental health professionals to allow them to share more information would help, he said. McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren agreed. “We’ve created [the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act], and people are afraid to talk to each other,” he said. “There are so many restrictions on what we can share.” Perhaps the most discussed and most politicized aspects of Obama’s proposals have been his push to reinstate an expired federal assault weapons ban, as well as

I have a dream... of getting a

restore the 10-round limit on ammunition magazines. Algonquin Police Chief Russell Laine is a proponent of an assault weapon ban; he lobbied in Washington, D.C., when the last one expired in 2004. He participated in an International Association of Chiefs of Police summit that issued a 2007 report that included a recommendation for banning military-style assault weapons, armorpiercing handgun ammunition, .50-caliber sniper rifles “and other weapons that enable criminals to outgun law enforcement.” What purpose the guns serve needs to be considered, Laine said. “Are they designed for hunting? I certainly have no problem with that,” he said. “Weapons and guns that are designed specifically for the purpose of killing people should be banned.” It’s part of the challenge of crime in a free society, Nygren said. “As Americans, we cherish our freedoms, as we should,” he said. “We’re talking about restricting our freedoms, in the eyes of many people who know they would never do anything wrong and they never will.” Whatever action is taken, it needs to be based on solid research and data, Nygren said. “We need to backtrack ... and look at the common denominators that seem to be underlying violence,” he said. “And if we can attack those things – it could be mental health issues – we’re going to be using our resources more effectively.”

form a coalition. All the polls show that Netanyahu’s Likud Party – in alliance with the more nationalist Israel Beitenu party – will win more than a quarter of the seats, and together with other rightist and religious parties should command at least a narrow overall majority. Although that can still change, the operating assumption in Israel is that Netanyahu will indeed emerge with a majority. In part, this is because the opposition center-left bloc of parties has failed to rally behind a single dominant leader. The conflict with the Palestinians and the fate of occupied territories, hotly debated in Israel for decades, has barely registered as a campaign issue.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY MATTRESS

8WORLD BRIEF Syrian official calls on rebels to negotiate

Netanyahu’s own positions fall far short of anything acceptable to the Palestinians. Likud officials refuse to say

which way they are leaning. Netanyahu’s campaign chairman, Cabinet Minister Gideon Saar, said Thursday that the party hasn’t even started thinking about building the coalition. “This would send the wrong message that we’ve already won,” Saar told an interviewer on Channel 2 TV. He said the party is focused on capturing as many seats in Israel’s fragmented Knesset, or parliament, as possible. Under Israel’s system, partieswinanumberofseatsbased on the percentage of votes they receive. No party has ever won an outright majority in the 120seat parliament. The leader of the party with the best chance of cobbling together a majority is tapped as prime minister and gets the first chance to

Direct contact with admissions counselors can prompt adjusted financial aid package • COLLEGE

Continued from page A1

There are steps students can take to make up for thin pocketbooks, but they’ve got to kick the defeatist attitude, said Shannon Landwehr, Woodstock High School counselor. She recommends keeping an open mind and applying for a lot of scholarships. “You have to be willing to do a little bit of investigating,” Landwehr said. “Don’t just assume you’re not going to get anything and not try.” Soto said she spends as much as three hours many nights searching and applying for scholarships. Landwehr wishes that was the norm. “There are some that we have, especially our local ones, that we get two kids to apply, which is sad,” she said. “And I think there are two things that factor in. I think it’s a misconception that, ‘I’m not going to get it anyway, so why bother.’ Or, ‘I don’t want to put the time in.’” Landwehr also suggests filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid early. Sometimes making direct contact with admissions counselors and expressing a further financial need can prompt an adjusted financial aid package, Landwehr said. If financial aid isn’t there, sometimes it’s best to seek another school rather than take on smothering debt, said Lora Reinholz, a financial adviser and adjunct professor of financial planning at Marquette University in Milwaukee. As a general rule, students shouldn’t borrow more money than they can expect to earn in their first year out of school or the average of their

Woodstock High School senior Alisha Soto talks with school counselor Shannon Landwehr on Monday about scholarship opportunities inside her office at Woodstock High School. first five years out of school, Reinholz said. “A number of them ... are not even paying attention,” she said. “They don’t know until they graduate how much they’ll have to pay on a monthly basis.” Reinholz suggests charging very little to credit cards and avoiding credit card debt, which can add to an individual’s post-college financial woes. And spend wisely, she said. “Pay attention to the little things,” she said. “A good exercise for students is to put a notecard in their wallet and track all their spending in one week, see how many times they’re going for coffee or a quick lunch.” Getting a steady job after college is the only way to ensure financial stability down the road. Pam Cumpata, president of the McHenry County Economic Development Corp., said students need to do whatever it takes to set themselves up for those job prospects. She advocates for internships

– even if they’re unpaid – and aggressively pursuing employers when the time comes. Her daughter, Kristina Cumpata, is currently on the job hunt. She starts paying on her student loans this summer. “Every day when I got home from work, I had a young lady sitting at my kitchen table who was either on a high because someone responded or slid to a low because she had applied how many times and heard nothing,” Pam Cumpata said. Cumpata advises her daughter to be persistent. She tells family members of job hunters to be positive and a champion for their loved one’s efforts. Reinholz said new graduates should look at the total compensation package – salary as well as benefits – before making a decision on where to work. “The No. 1 thing for the first job is have the job where you’re going to be the happiest,” she said. “If you’re doing what you love, everything else is going to be easier.”

Obama’s second term

When Barack Obama takes his second oath of office as president Monday, he will be pledging to lead a country very different from the one he took the helm of four years ago. The hope his campaign promised permeated the air in January 2009 when he first took office, with the notion the next four years would be unlike any we’d ever seen. That was true – but perhaps not the way it had been imagined. The recession made unemployment and property foreclosures rates soar. We witnessed the bailout of the auto industry while millions struggled to survive day-to-day. Recovery has been shaky. We lost more than 1,400 troops since January 2009 in wars including Iraq and Afghanistan. Politics rose to a new, ferociously partisan level, with the conservative tea party and the liberal Occupy Wall Street representing vastly differing viewpoints. More money was spent in elections than ever before, but the same let’s-get-dirty-during-the-campaign tactics that define our political system were apparent as ever. Droughts, hurricanes, snow and tornadoes left death and destruction as they stormed their way throughout the country. There were tragedies beyond comprehension, including the assassination attempt on a member of Congress and the murder of 20 schoolchildren. We could fill the entire editorial page with defining events of the past four years, and still leave some out. There were triumphs and moments of happiness and grace, too. But to say the hope promised four years ago was delivered would be a stretch. Yet Inauguration Day contains an inherent element of hope. It is a new beginning, and an opportunity to refocus and reset goals. Obama will grasp onto that in his speech, which will no doubt be stirring and lay out a promising plan for the next four years. But presidents are defined by what they do, not what they say. If there’s a promise Obama needs to make – and keep – this term, it’s to be a builder. He needs to be the chief architect of a budget blueprint that will put the country on a stable financial path. To accomplish that, Obama needs to build coalitions in Congress so compromise is achievable. And he needs to build trust and faith with the American people, so that when the sacrifice demanded of its citizens come, they understand it’s for the good of all. It’s going to be a painful process. It might require raising taxes. It certainly will require significant decreases in government spending, perhaps even eliminating entire programs. A serious discussion on the need for a constitutional amendment requiring an annual balanced budget is warranted, because figuring out how to balance the budget is necessary if we are to leave a brighter fiscal picture for future generations.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Pension mess

To the Editor: Rich Miller’s column of Jan. 15 tells quite simply the politics behind Illinois’ so-called pension reform. Speaker Michael Madigan once again is holding us hostage to his plan to wash his hands (and that of all legislators) of the pension mess by transferring the debt back to the citizens who’ve already paid their share. A story reported on the same day about potential cutbacks in state services as reported by Gov. Pat Quinn’s office shows his complicity in Madigan’s scheme. A transfer of the unpaid debt means only one thing – huge increases in property taxes no matter how slowly this occurs. Illinois citizens should be outraged by this political chicanery. Perhaps the best solution to the whole mess would be to actually cut unaffordable services out of the budget as proposed. With Madigan and Quinn sitting on their hands, the blame for such a perceived catastrophe would fall squarely where it belongs – on them. And who knows, might we discover we might not actually

need many of these services or that in any event we really can’t afford them after all? And perhaps then the mindless voters in this state will finally rise up and throw out those useless legislators who refuse to pass real pension reform out of fear of unions, Madigan, Cullerton and their own re-election prospects. Regardless, increasing property taxes is not a solution to the pension mess. Stephen J. Gohmann Huntley

Little more grateful

To the Editor: Re: “Snow did it” (It’s Your Write, Jan. 14). I am a 25-year veteran of a local government agency in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, with a matching number of years in snow removal. I can assure you that it is more than possible for the weight of snow and ice to knock down your mailbox, even if you had fourby-fours on each side. Instead of complaining or being angry that this occurred, how about being thankful that your road was cleared of snow and ice

I have seen the “Share With Bicycles” signs, but there is no bike path (would have been a great addition), and I cannot imagine that very many people who would choose to ride their bike along Rakow Road. However, I have seen numerous deer standing along the roadside presumably contemplating how to cross this new superhighway. I also have seen a deer that presumably was hit by a car and killed.

Several questions for Defense secretary nominee Hagel

WASHINGTON – Senate hearings on the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary will be a distinctive Washington entertainment, a donnybrook without drama. He should be confirmed: Presidents are due substantial deference in selecting Cabinet members because they administer presidential policies and, unlike judicial appointments, they leave when their nominators do. Hagel will be confirmed because Sen. Chuck Schumer, after hesitating theatrically enough to propitiate supporters of Israel, of whom there are many among his New York constituents, has decided not to oppose Hagel. Still, the hearings will be sound and fury signifying renewed interest in national security policy, which can be illuminated by Hagel addressing questions like these: • In 1997, 28 years after you returned from Vietnam with two Purple Hearts, we heard a May 27,

1964, taped telephone conversation in which President Lyndon Johnson said to his national security adviser, McGeorge Bundy: “I don’t think it’s worth fighting for and I don’t think we can get out.” Johnson also said: “What in the hell is Vietnam worth to me? What is Laos worth to me? What is it worth to this country?” At the time, there were only 16,000 U.S. forces in Vietnam, where there had been only 266 U.S. deaths. The U.S. deployment would peak at more than 500,000 in 1969 and 58,000 would die there. How did this tape, and Vietnam generally, shape your thinking? • Your critics say that you managed to be wrong on Iraq twice, by supporting the 2003 invasion and by opposing the 2007 surge. If the surge had not happened, what would have happened in Iraq? • How many sorties, including attacks on Iran’s air defense systems, would be required to significantly

Views George Will degrade and delay Iran’s nuclear program? Can Israel mount such an air campaign alone? Would you favor U.S. cooperation, with intelligence and special munitions? • Did you refuse to sign a 2006 letter urging the European Union to declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization because you consider that designation inaccurate? From your 2009 endorsement of U.S. negotiations with Hamas, can we conclude that you oppose the policy of not negotiating with terrorists? • You call our sanctions against Cuba “outdated,” “unrealistic,” “irrelevant” and “nonsensical.” What Cuba policy would you recommend? • Do you agree with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s judgment

that cuts under sequestration would “hollow out the force”? Can you give examples of procurements or deployments that justify your description of the Defense Department as “bloated”? • The Navy has nine aircraft carriers. Aircraft carrier groups are the principal means of projecting U.S. power. And they are very expensive. How many should we have? How is your calculation influenced by the fact that seven weeks ago China for the first time landed a fighter jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier? • Congress’ power to declare war has atrophied since it was last exercised (against Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary on June 5, 1942). Should Congress authorize America’s wars? • In 2011, President Obama, using a passive syntax, said our military “is being volunteered by others to carry out missions” in Libya. The

original rationale for this -- before mission meander embraced regime change -- was “R2P,” the responsibility to protect civilians. Do you support applying this doctrine to Syria? If removing Moammar Gaddafi was an important U.S. interest, why was it, and when did it become so? Do you dispute the illegality of Obama’s ignoring the War Powers Resolution that requires military interventions to end after 60 days, absent congressional approval? • In 1949, one of NATO’s founders said its purpose was “to keep the Americans in (Europe), the Germans down and the Russians out.” What is its purpose now? Bonus question: Might fewer than 54,000 U.S. forces in Germany suffice to defend that country, or Western Europe, from whatever threat they are there to deter?

Laws restricting access to abortion thereby place a real and substantial burden on women’s ability to participate in society as equals.” Prof. Laurence Tribe, Harvard University “Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to make the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard.” Hillary Rodham Clinton – presidential candidate “We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children.” Dr. Jocelyn Elders, former US Surgeon General “No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.” Margaret Sanger, Woman and the New Race

Mistaken donation ignites Vision for Lakemoor controversy in Grafton Twp. finally set for a vote By StePHeN Di BeNeDettO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – A $1,000 donation made in error to Grafton Township’s food pantry has turned controversial, causing Supervisor Linda Moore to claim that a public request for a refund may have been politically motivated. The controversy erupted last week when Sun City resident Gerald LaBonte asked the township board during its monthly meeting to refund the $1,080 his neighborhood donated to the Grafton Township Food Pantry by mistake. LaBonte, who was elected by his neighbors to represent his Sun City neighborhood, told the board

that the donation was meant for the nonprofit Grafton Food Pantry because the organization linda moore has more purchasing power from its partnership with the Northern Illinois Food Bank. The volunteer, he said, wasn’t aware that two food pantries existed in Grafton Township. The neighborhood holds a semiannual fundraiser for the Grafton Food Pantry each fall in October. He said he made Moore aware of the mistake Nov. 5, but was told that the checks were already cashed and going to a

good cause. “What are the ethical values of a person who received money and found out that it was given to you by mistake and then says, ‘I’m not giving it back?’ ” LaBonte said. Moore stated in a news release Monday that the money likely would be refunded, nearly two months after LaBonte said he spoke with Moore about the error. Moore said LaBonte, “a self-appointed spokesman” on the issue, did request a neighborhood refund during last week’s board meeting. But she denied in the release that she knew about the mistake in the fall.

Farmers say new farm bill is essential

In a significant development concerning the price of milk, Congress extended the farm policy until September. Current policy guarantees farmers a minimum of 80 cents per gallon of milk. The current price farmers receive in the open market is about $1.75 per gallon. Linnea Kooistra, a local dairy farmer, follows the market closely. She said if the farm bill had not been extended, government policy would have reverted back to a law signed by President Truman in 1949 that would guarantee farmers $3.50 per

gallon. Reverting to the 1949 numbers would have nearly doubled the cost of a gallon of milk. Kooistra said farmers and cows have become much more efficient since the days of President Truman. The U.S. dairy industry produces a gallon of milk using 90 percent less land, 60 percent less water, 70 percent less manure and 60 percent less carbon footprint. The average U.S. cow produces more than four times more milk than the average cow worldwide. James Fraley, Illinois Farm Bureau livestock pro-

oN tHE squARE Don Peasley gram director, said extending the old farm bill is only a Band-Aid approach. He said Congress “has a lot of work to do” to get a farm bill passed. “Dairy farmers are left dealing with the same programs and policies in place for the last five years. The new farm bill is going to focus on more insurancebased risk management-type programs. They only kick in

when a disaster comes and farmers need assistance,” he said. In 1949, McHenry County was a leading county in the country for milk production. That is why Harvard was referred to as the “Milk Center of the World.” ••• Hospice & Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois is sponsoring Hospice Patient & Family Care volunteer training sessions Feb. 2 and 9 at 527 W.

It would have allowed those living on plots zoned singlefamily residential to raise hens, but not roosters, if they obtained a permit. People on less than an acre would have been allowed a maximum of four hens, and those on larger lots could have had eight. The ordinance laid out coop restrictions and prohibited the sale of eggs. Currently, chickens are allowed only in lots zoned for agricultural use, Building Commissioner Frank Urbina said. But it seemed some of the village trustees who voted against the measure didn’t know what was allowed and prohibited under the plan, Boettcher said, adding that they just acted like the ordinance was a joke. “We addressed all the negatives [the Plan Commission members] had brought to us, like any nuisance from smell or noise,” she said. “We put a lot of parameters in for coop design to make sure they weren’t an eyesore.” The Plan Commission ultimately recommended the ordinance in a 3-1 vote after holding several meetings.

8OBITUARIES Barred Rock chickens stand outside the Fox Lake home of Rebecca Boettcher. ee Nancy Koske said. “I mean, we’ve all lived next door to people who have dogs that don’t behave or whatever. I don’t want a chicken or a rooster next door to me or across the street.” Two other trustees cut in to say, “No roosters.” “Oh, thank God,” Koske responded. “I’m just not in favor of it. I think it would be a mess. I just think it’s just one more thing that will cause us problems. We have enough trouble trying to get people to clean up their yards.” Boettcher disagrees. “All my neighbors are

happy with with it,” she said. “My chickens helped fertilize a couple neighbors’ gardens this last year. They’ll aerate soil and stuff. It’s weird because I see neighbors that I never saw before. They’ll bring their kids around.” Ted and LuAnn Stay, 63 and 59, live about a block from Boettcher and Erber. They noticed Boettcher’s chickens over the summer when walking their dogs. They had considered getting chickens so she could feed her family more organically. Figuring Boettcher’s

That’s why we’re so concerned about what’s going on.” She, too, isn’t worried about the neighbors. “We don’t have any issues with our neighbors,” she said. “We’re not going to get a rooster. [Chickens] don’t make any noise. Our fence is a privacy fence. They’re not even going to see them. I don’t think there’s going to a problem.”

Quotes from Abortion Doctors “They [the women] are never allowed to look at the ultrasound because we knew that if they so much as heard the heart beat, they wouldn’t want to have an abortion.” – Dr. Joseph Randall, former abortionist “I got to where I couldn’t stand to look at the little bodies anymore.” – Dr. Beverly McMillan, former abortionist “We know that it’s killing, but the state permits killing under certain circumstances.” – Dr. Neville Sender, abortionist “Even now I feel a little peculiar about it, because as a physician I was trained to conserve life, and here I am destroying it.” – Dr. Benjamin Kalish, abortionist “You have to become a bit schizophrenic. In one room, you encourage the patient that the slight irregularity in the fetal heart is not important, that she is going to have a ﬁne, healthy baby. Then, in the next room you assure another woman, on whom you just did a saline abortion, that it is a good thing that the heartbeat is already irregular… she has nothing to worry about, she will NOT have a live baby” – Dr. John Szenes, abortionist Life News

What is the HHS Mandate?

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a mandate under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that requires all employer health plans to provide free (no copays or deductibles) contraceptives, sterilizations and abortioninducing drugs, regardless of any moral or religious objections. Religious employers such as Catholic hospitals, Christian schools, and faith-based pregnancy care centers will have to provide and pay for such coverage for their employees.

Kenneth e. scRanton Born: Feb. 4, 1915; in Chicago died: Jan. 18, 2013; in Arlington Heights

PALATINE – Kenneth E. Scranton, 97, of Palatine, passed away Friday, Jan. 18, 2013. He was born Feb. 4, 1915, in Chicago, to the late Cassius and Nellie (Ducey Cleary). He graduated from Northwestern University in 1937 and from Northwestern Law School in 1940. He completed his Navy officer training at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Ind., and was assigned to a submarine squadron in 1942 operating in the South Pacific and China Straits. He served in various Cape cities overseas for 34 months, entering the Japanese Navy Base with the U.S. fleet in November 1945. He was honorably discharged from the Navy shortly thereafter, and commenced his law practice as a member of a leading law firm in Chicago. He eventually opened his own law practice until his retirement in 2001 at the age of 86. He continued to practice law, sitting on various boards until the time of his death. He was extremely proud to state that he was the personal attorney for members of the Wirtz family as well as corporate attorney for Wirtz Corp. and its subsidiaries, which includes the Chicago Blackhawks. He enjoyed representing a majority of the hockey players of the great teams in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. As more or less a corollary to being for the Wirtz interests, he represented the business interest of James D. Norris, business partner of legendary Arthur M. Wirtz. He was an avid cyclist, and as a member of the Wheeling Cycling Club, participated in various “100 milers” in Illinois and Wisconsin. His close friends, Bill Wirtz and Tom Tully, would often comment that “Kenny decided to ride his to and back from Lake Geneva for lunch the other day.” He enjoyed speed skating and would often climb down the frozen rocks surrounding Lake Geneva to skate on the lake well into his 80s. He was loved by many for his wit, humor and charm. While practicing law on LaSalle Street, he was fondly referred to as “Mayor of LaSalle Street” by people who knew him. He met everyone on the street with a smile and a gracious greeting. He was a warm and loving man who will be sorely missed by many, especially his family and dogs. He was the beloved husband of the late Virginia (Graham); loving father of Dennis, Denise and Debbie; cherished grandfather of Kenneth, Nelle and Gini; devoted extended family, Imelda Hanson, Greg, Anna, Wes, A.J. Grover, Sherry, Jessica and Amy Allen, Stan, Tracy, Erin and Shane Lentz, and Kelly Carson; dedicated and devoted caregiver, Agnes Goncalves; many loving nieces and nephews; and was

the brother of the late Eileen McHugh. The visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at Smith-Corcoran Funeral Home, 185 E. Northwest Highway, Palatine, and from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Holy Family Catholic Church, 2515 W. Palatine Road, Inverness. Mass will follow at 10:30 a.m. Interment is in St. Michael the Archangel Cemetery. For information, call 847-359-8020 or visit www.smithcorcorn.com. Sign the guest book at www. NWHerald.com/obits

Betty ann tuft

Born: Feb. 26, 1917; in Chicago died: Jan. 14, 2013; in Woodstock WOODSTOCK – Betty Ann Tuft, 95, of Woodstock and formerly of McHenry, died Monday, Jan. 14, 2013, at Valley Hi Nursing Home. Born Feb. 26, 1917, in Chicago, to Charles F. and Grace B. (Sheen) Miller, Betty was raised and educated in the North Austin neighborhood of Chicago. She graduated from Austin High School in 1935, and received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from the University of Illinois in 1939. On Sept. 23, 1950, she married Harry Andrew “Andy” Tuft at the North Austin Lutheran Church in Chicago. They purchased a home on the Fox River in McHenry County, first summering there before becoming year-round residents. On April 29, 1955, they expanded their family through the adoption of their infant son, Edward Charles, born in Melrose Park on Aug. 19, 1954. After Andy’s death in 1980, Betty moved away from the river to nearby Johnsburg where she taught elementary school, and in later years, was a substitute teacher with the Johnsburg school district. In 1988, Betty suffered another loss when her only son, Edward, died at the age of 34. For a while, Betty was an active attender of the Upper Fox Valley Quaker meetings and later a longtime member of Mt. Hope United Methodist Church in Johnsburg where she made many friendships over the years. After a stroke in 2007, she became a resident of Valley Hi Nursing Home in Woodstock. While there, she regularly participated in bingo, card games, field trips and even bowling activities from her wheelchair. Betty also remained politically active by writing letters to several local, state and national politicians including Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Richard Durbin about such issues as the war in Iraq, nuclear power plants, the environment and fiscal responsibility – and received written replies from all of them. Interests during her lifetime included American history, genealogy for her family and traveling throughout the United States. On occasion, she visited Nashville, Tenn., and Branson, Mo., where she enjoyed the country music, and also took several trips to visit her relatives in California and Hawaii.

On a number of Thanksgiving holidays, she went to Pennsylvania via train to visit with Nancy Morrell, her very close friend, who used to live in McHenry. Betty was an avid reader and loved to save interesting newspaper and magazine articles, not to mention recycling leftover bread and crackers at Valley Hi for the chickens at the Howenstine farm. She volunteered for years as an AARP tax preparer and was an accomplished “senior bowler,” once bowling an incredible 235 game at the age of 79. Betty is survived by her grandson, David (Amy) Konstantinow of Wonder Lake; sister, Dorothy M. (the late Rev. Franklin) Swanson of Cupertino, Calif.; nephew, Franklin (Beverly) Swanson of Cupertino; niece, Barbara Sheen of Lincoln, Calif.; three great-nephews, Jeffrey (Katherine) Swanson of Sunnyvale, Calif., Scott Sheen of Las Vegas and Brian Sheen of Lincoln, Calif.; one great-niece, Jennifer Swanson of Sunnyvale, Calif.; and cousins, Eugene Vincent of Genoa City, Wis., and Margi Wischoeffer of Kenosha, Wis. Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Harry “Andy” Tuft, on March 18, 1980; and her son, Edward Tuft, on Oct. 22, 1988. Friends may visit from 9:30 a.m. until a brief prayer service at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, 3700 W. Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry. Private entombment will follow in Woodland Cemetery, McHenry. A memorial service in celebration of Betty’s life will be held this spring at Mt. Hope United Methodist Church in Johnsburg.

Much love from, and to, her husband Milo, her son Jon, her sisters Marilyn and Jo Plaehn, her sister Sue and brother Phil, who have passed over, her beautiful extended family, friends and neighbors. Our spirit is our true reality as expressed in lifetime after lifetime. And passing over is but a temporary transition to the next plane of life. Where we are met with tenderness and surrounded by gentle presences. Whatever endures is real. Whatever passes away from view is only material. Life is eternal and our reality enters into its true existence. Each individual has their own truth and life experience which is unique to them. And it’s comforting to know that her kind and tender spirit is being watched over and cared for. And that things can be returned to perfect wholeness. Thank you to her loving family, friends, neighbors, the EMTs, her doctors, nurses, aides, and everybody at Centegra Hospital in Woodstock, and everyone else for their wonderful care and support. And thank you to the little, and big, animal friends for all of their unconditional love. You all have touched our heart. Please be kind, thoughtful and caring to others. Reach out with compassion and empathy. Love is all that really matters. :-) A simple memorial service is pending.

Lily Lake considered village’s centerpiece • Lakemoor

Continued from page B1

Nora Beck, an associate planner with the agency, will give a short presentation on the final draft to the Plan Commission at its meeting and answer questions, she said. The idea is “to make sure everyone is on the same page of what it includes” before the commission makes its recommendation, Beck said. The Lakemoor Plan Commission hasn’t met in about a year and a half because there haven’t been any development issues, Village Administrator David Alarcon said. But its chairman has been attending meetings on the comprehensive plan. The last feedback the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning received on its proposal was in November,

Senior Planner Jason Navota said. “The plan was very well received,” he said. “We got a few substantive comments, but nothing that would alter the general direction that the plan takes. We think the plan accurately and effectively reflects the direction the village wants to take.” Residents had two main thoughts about the future of their village, he said. First,theyconsiderLilyLake the centerpiece of the community. It was the resource around which the village – originally a summer vacation destination – was formed. And that, he said, led to the No. 1 request the agency heard, which was make the town center more of a town center. “The way it’s designed isn’t very pedestrian friendly, and it doesn’t have the look and feel

that a real town center does,” Navota said. The plan addresses that by proposing an expansion of Morrison Park – which is adjacent to the lake and the commercial area – and the addition of pedestrian and bicycle trails. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning won’t disappear after the Village Board decides on whether to go with the proposed comprehensive plan. The agency will connect the village with other resources in the region, including civic organizations and nonprofits that specialize in, for example, natural resource protection or bicycle path planning, Navota said. Finding the money to pay for improvements likely will be the biggest implementation aspect in which the agency will help the village, Beck said.

Political gamesmanship accused of Moore • GraFToN

Continued from page B1

“No one told us that at the time,” Moore said in the release. “Due to the timing of Mr. LaBonte’s comments, it is hoped this is not a political move, what with the Republican primary election coming up Feb. 26, 2013.” Moore is running against Huntley Trustee Pam Fender and attorney Marty Waitzman in the primary contest. Both challengers have said they decided to run to end the dysfunction in Grafton that has defined Moore’s tenure. But when asked about the Nov. 5 conversation with LaBonte in an interview with the Northwest Herald on Wednesday, Moore said the two did speak about the donation mistake. She said her lawyer advised her not to refund the money. “What else can I do but follow legal advice?” she said. But Moore couldn’t recall why her lawyer gave permission to refund the money, nearly two months after being told she

couldn’t refund the money. “My lawyer changed his mind,” she said. LaBonte said he was insulted Moore would turn this issue into political gamesmanship. He said he has never voted in a Grafton Township election, and that he didn’t even know the names of the Grafton trustees until weeks before approaching them about a refund.

He said the refund procedure Moore’s lawyer detailed in a letter sent to him Jan. 12 is cumbersome for his neighbors, who have to submit proof of payment and have it verified before receiving a refund. “For me, she has turned a simple request to return money into a legal problem,” LaBonte said. “Why turn to a lawyer? I don’t understand it.”

the pitfalls of

social media Coaches, athletes learn hard lessons By JEFF ARNOLD

jarnold@shawmedia.com

oments after Kurtis Stirneman committed to play college football at the University of Wyoming, he broke the news the fastest way he could. The Marian Central senior offensive tackle posted a photo on Twitter with his new coach and a fellow recruit seconds after it was taken in Cowboys coach Dave Christensen’s office. “Leaving Laramie, Wyoming…a Cowboy #committed,” Stirneman tweeted. In 46 characters, Stirneman intended to have his friends share in his excitement. In reality, he threw himself into a universe inhabited by 500 million. The 140character world, along with Facebook, is one where users are free to speak their minds unfiltered and release their thoughts to a vast audience. While social media sites grow exponentially throughout all demographics, they are especially popular among high school students, who can access the site from anywhere at any time from a phone. According to an Edison Research/Arbitron Internet and Multimedia study, 29 percent of Twitter users are between the ages of 12 and 24. High schoolers post about everything from games they play, to TV shows they watch, the people they date to the mountain of homework they face. It’s become

a primary mode of communication between friends and teammates. But as second nature as communicating through status updates and tweets has become, the pitfalls aren’t always evident. Until they are. This past week, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o became the subject of a bizarre national story surrounding his alleged social media relationship with a woman who Notre Dame now says never existed. Last month, longtime Marian Central assistant coach Steve Spoden was fired for a Facebook post stating he wanted to take bats to the knees of rival Montini players and carpet bomb the town. Spoden, who has since deleted his Facebook account, said he was new to the site and thought his message would only be seen by the Marian Central football player whose status he commented on in an effort to console him after a loss. Spoden said he hopes, if anything, students can learn from his mistake. Last summer, Crystal Lake Central boys basketball coach Rich Czeslawski stood in front of a classroom, pointing to a projection screen displaying Twitter posts. There was objectionable language and lewd topics. But all of them – to his Tigers’ players’ surprise – had come from the Twitter feeds of those inside the room. Players stared at the screen, stunned. “It was a huge eye-opener,” Czeslawski said. The exercise in social media wasn’t used to embarrass the players, Czeslawski – who has 1,200 folllowers @ CoachCzes – wanted to demonstrate how easily accounts can be accessed. For high-profile high school athletes, the risks are even greater.

Fast start: Hawks jump on Kings Cup champions fall behind 4-0, lose opener

Next for the Hawks Hawks at Phoenix, 9 p.m. today, CSN, NBCSN, AM-720

By JOSEPH D’HIPPOLITO

Special to the Northwest Herald LOS ANGELES – As they embark upon perhaps the most unique season in recent NHL history, the Blackhawks learned an important fact Saturday. Marian Hossa and Corey Crawford are back. Hossa had two goals and AP photo an assist, and Crawford made The Blackhawks’ Patrick kane celebrates his goal during the first pe- 19 saves in the Hawks’ 5-2 riod Saturday against the kings in Los Angeles. The Hawks won, 5-2. victory over the Los Angeles

Kings in front of 18,545 at Staples Center. The Hawks, who play 10 of their first 12 games on the road, travel today to Phoenix to face the team that eliminated them in the first round of last year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. In that series, Hossa suffered a severe concussion that forced him to be carried

off the ice. He only received medical clearance to play in November. “I tried to keep it simple, especially in the beginning – nothing too fancy, keep short shifts,” said Hossa, who recorded a goal and an assist in the first seven minutes. But was Hossa concerned about getting hit? “No,” he said. “I was worried about it probably at the beginning of November. That’s why I practiced so hard to be comfortable going in the corners and having three guys on me.” Meanwhile, Crawford nullified the memories of his poor playoff performance. “I’m done with thinking

about last year and all that stuff,” he said. “I felt pretty quick. I felt focused. My eyes didn’t move from the puck at all. Just all game, it seemed like it was in my sight all the time.” The Hawks also used the pregame atmosphere’s afterglow to their advantage. The Kings’ players received their Stanley Cup rings and raised the team’s first championship banner. But once the game started, the Hawks built a 4-0 lead in the first 21:16 against goalie Jonathan Quick, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy last year.

Fitzgerald touched many lives

After more than 40 years of officiating three sports, seasons tend to run together, so John Bell is slightly foggy on the exact year. Bell, a former area referee who now lives in Missouri, thinks it was about 20 years ago when he was officiating a boys basketball game between Jacobs and Crystal Lake South. His partner, Elroy Fitzgerald, tossed a fan from the game. Later, during a break in the action, Bell had a chance to ask Fitzgerald what the man had said to get the boot. “He called me an old goat,” Fitzgerald replied. “I said, ‘Well …,’ ” Bell said. “He said, ‘You can call me that, but he can’t call me that.’ ” The stories Elroy shared over the Fitzgerald weekend about Fitzgerald, who was probably in his 60s at the time of Bell’s tale, were endless. The most revered man in McHenry County sports – a longtime official, fan, former school board member and all-around sports advocate – died Jan. 13 in his Cary home at the age of 83. Family and countless friends, many of whom officiated with Fitzgerald or played in games he officiated, paid respects at his wake Friday at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Cary or Saturday at his funeral at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algonquin. Fitzgerald still was officiating basketball games this winter and was scheduled to do some this week. When he died, the man so many knew mainly by his first name, still was doing what he loved. Bell probably worked more games with Fitzgerald – doing football, basketball and baseball – than anyone else. Fitzgerald truly was one of a kind. “When we were younger, we did Cary-Grove’s very first freshman (football) game (in 1961),” Bell said. “They were playing Algonquin Middle School, that had its first freshman team. It was two new teams, two new coaches and two refs doing their first game. And the final score was 0-0.” Bell and Fitzgerald spent a lot of nights together after that, although it would have been difficult to find

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson one of the many officials at Friday’s wake who had not worked with Fitzgerald at one time. “He was a mentor to us all,” said local official Rich Prykop, a member of Fitzgerald’s football crew. “When he told me I did a good job, I knew he really meant it. He didn’t say that to you after every game.” Every few feet in the 11⁄2-hourlong line there would be someone wearing an IHSA official jacket. There were a multitude of plaques representing Fitzgerald’s honors, pictures from his service in the U.S. Army in the Korean War and hundreds of family photos of Fitzgerald, his four children, 17 grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. Several of his grandsons wore White Sox T-shirts under their sportcoats at Friday’s wake. Fitzgerald was a member of the American Legion Post 276, served 28 years on the District 155 school board, started the Cary Youth Baseball Association in 1950 and was a huge advocate for girls sports in the 1970s. Former Crystal Lake Central football coach Bill Mack was a sixth-grader when he met Fitzgerald, a man he considered a mentor. Fitzgerald coached Mack in baseball and basketball. Mack said Fitzgerald would call his mother to make sure he was practicing baseball. “Nobody has ever been more giving to kids of himself than Elroy,” Mack said. “He was a wonderful, wonderful man.” Mack went to breakfast with Fitzgerald and some other friends on Christmas Eve and did not get home until after noon. “Cheryl [Mack’s wife] said, ‘Where have you been?’ ” Mack said. “I said, ‘Basically listening to Elroy have a good time.’ ” It wasn’t just the old-timers. Fitzgerald knew everybody. One of those at the wake Friday was Hampshire graduate Jake Goebbert, who played outfield in Double- and Triple-A last season in the Houston Astros’ system. “I met him at one of our preseason scrimmages at Hampshire,

and he was behind the plate when I had 19 strikeouts against Johnsburg,” Goebbert said. “He would stop by our (pumpkin) farm sometimes and talk to my dad. I stayed in touch with him a little bit. “It’s sad. He was a great guy.” Crystal Lake Central principal Steve Olson smiled while recalling how he met Fitzgerald. Olson was a first-year teacher at Crystal Lake South and coached sophomore basketball at Cary-Grove in 1985. Fitzgerald slapped Olson with a technical foul in that game, then Olson heard about it at school the next day. “I see Pat (Fitzgerald, Elroy’s brother) at school the next day and he asked me about the technical,” Olson said. “I said, ‘How did you hear about that?’ He said, ‘My brother T’d you up. He’s on the school board.’ I thought, ‘Great, I’m one and done here.’ ” Bell recalled another time when their football crew was doing a game in Elkhorn, Wis., in 1982, at the same time Milwaukee and St. Louis were playing in the World Series. “There’s a TV in the concession stand and Elroy is telling everyone, “Hey, this guy here’s a Cardinals’ fan,’ ” Bell said. “He got hit really hard (during the football game) and it took him a while to get up. When we got in the van to come home, he just laid down in the back and didn’t even care if we went out to eat. I said, ‘That’s what you get for telling them I’m a Cardinals’ fan.’ We just had a lot of good times together.” Even those who didn’t work with Fitzgerald enjoyed his company. “I just liked watching a game with him,” local official Steve Bellmore said. “He’d always have stories for you. He’ll be missed.” Fitzgerald had that way of brightening your day whenever you bumped into him. And you never knew where that might be. He seemed ubiquitous. “Some people aren’t ever supposed to pass,” local umpire Jim Ayers said.

BOyS BASKETBAll: HUNTlEy 45, dUNdEE-CROWN 38

Huntley guts out win over D-C By JEFF ARNOld

jarnold@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – Marty Manning knows there will be nights – like Saturday for instance – when the offense doesn’t produce the way it normally does for his Huntley boys basketball team. So coming off a loss when Manning challenged his team’s toughness, the Red Raiders understood their grit defensively, on loose balls and in cleaning up missed shots would have to see them through. That extra effort gave Huntley the edge in the fourth quarter when the Red Raiders had to overcome three quarters of offensive struggles to push past Dundee-Crown, 45-38, in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play. The victory kept the Red Raiders unbeaten in the Valley, but more importantly, sent a message to Manning, who questioned their energy level in a loss to Barrington when he felt the Raiders’ toughness was lacking. “We just wanted to come out

tonight and tell [Manning], ‘You know what, coach? You’re wrong. We are the team you think we are,’” senior guard Bryce Only said. “We showed it tonight on the court. “We played tough.” Huntley (11-6 overall, 5-0 Valley) relied on its defense to take charge in the fourth quarter when the Red Raiders couldn’t manage to pull away despite D-C experiencing shooting struggles of its own. After Chargers senior Dylan Kissack sparked D-C (11-5, 2-2) early offensively with nine first-half points, Huntley held him to two in the final two quarters. The defense also became infectious in forcing turnovers and turning the Chargers’ miscues into points. Of course, having 6-foot-7 junior Amanze Egekeze to produce points off rebounds and by using his size advantage also came in handy. Egekeze scored a team-high 12 points – five of which came in the fourth quarter when Huntley managed to hold off a late Chargers surge. But in the end, it came down to toughness.

“We have a lot of tough guys when we want to be,” Egekeze said. “We’ve had too many close games with (D-C) to know that even under a minute, even if you’re up six, it means nothing – they’re going to keep playing. “The game’s never over.” The Chargers’ failure to score early in the fourth proved to be too much to overcome. Over the first 5 1⁄ 2 minutes, D-C managed only a basket, while Huntley reeled off 11 points. Two late 3-point field goals – including one by Brandon Rodriguez, who scored 14 points – got the Chargers back within six. But Huntley responded and found ways to score when it mattered most, using its size advantage – especially down low – to make the difference. “When you’ve got (a) 5-8 (player) boxing out 6-4, it’s tough to do,” D-C coach Lance Huber said. “They had a few long rebounds, and I thought we were in position and sometimes, it’s hard to overcome that. “We fought hard, but we’ve just got to find a way when we need a bucket to get one.”

Stoneking, Turner help Streaks hang on By JOE STEvENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock proved to be proficient at getting the ball to the most difficult spots for Woodstock North to defend. One was cramming it inside to 6-foot-7 center Damian Stoneking, an extremely tough matchup for the smaller Thunder. The other was the free-throw line, where guard Jordan Turner camped out for most of the fourth quarter. Turner was 10 of 10 from the line in the fourth quarter, while Stoneking was 7 of 11 from the field in the second half as the Blue Streaks defeated North, 63-51, in their Fox Valley Conference Fox Division boys basketball game Saturday night at James M. Shipley Memorial Gymnasium. Turner, who was shooting 62.8

percent coming into the game, hit 13 of 14 for the game. As the Thunder kept it close in the fourth quarter, Turner kept getting to the line and draining free throws. “If we shoot 50 percent, it’s a completely different game,” said Turner, who tied Stoneking with game-highs of 19 points. “Thankfully, I was able to come through. We had a new game ball and it felt really good.” Woodstock (14-5 overall, 4-1 FVC Fox) had pushed its lead to 36-26 in the third quarter, but the Thunder (7-11, 1-3) cut the lead to 40-37 late in the third. “It was trust and bonding,” said Stoneking, who had 13 rebounds. “When things got hard, we stayed together. I’m blessed to have great teammates who keep feeding me the ball.” Nick Herscha, a 6-3 junior, led

the Thunder with 10 points. North had a 16-8 lead late in the first quarter. “We knew coming in it would be important to focus on points in the paint,” Streaks coach Alex Baker said. “We had a lot of guys doing things to set him up and Damian was the benefactor.” North had five other players with seven or more points. The Thunder’s defensive problems were compounded with Herscha’s foul trouble. He fouled out with 7:55 remaining. “We didn’t execute what we were supposed to be doing [on defense],” Thunder coach Steve Ryan said. “The kids have been good at making people do things that aren’t normal (because of our defense). We did a good job in the first half, but we had that bad run in the third quarter.”

Woodstock co-op shows off depth By PATRICK MASON

pmason@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock co-op boys swimming team entered the second-to-last event – the 100-yard breaststroke – in second place behind Lincoln-Way North in the fifth annual Woodstock Invitational on Saturday afternoon at Woodstock North. The Blue Streaks needed a good performance in the event to have a shot at winning, and Adam Steinken and Henry Gantner came through. Steinken entered the event with the fastest seed time of 1:04.19, and he beat that mark by more than a second for first place in 1:03.08, his best time of the season. Gantner took third. Though Lincoln-Way North won the meet’s final race, the varsity 400 free relay, it didn’t score points in the freshman/sophomore race, so the Blue Streaks’ third-place finish in the event gave them enough points (565.5) for the title. Steinken, Gantner and Morgan Hofmann each won individual events for the Blue Streaks and contributed to the three relays. Hofmann swam a personal best to win the 100 freestyle in 50.63 seconds and took third in the 100 backstroke. Gantner won the 50 freestyle in 22.6. “I had been sick all week, so I was really happy to go a best time in my

100,” Hofmann said. “I put up a pretty good time in my backstroke, but I didn’t put in nearly enough effort as I probably should have, but I was trying to save up a little for the last relay. I was pretty happy overall with my swims, and I think everyone had a really good day today.” Gantner said it was nice to be able to swim at the Blue Streaks’ home pool while facing stiff competition. He believes it will ready them for a tough upcoming week when they will swim against Jacobs co-op and CaryGrove on Wednesday and Friday. The meet incorporated the freshman and sophomore levels in the relays, and the 50 and 100 freestyles were broken into the four class levels. That style especially played to the strength of the McHenry team, which finished fourth with 492.5 points with the help of its fast underclassmen. The Warriors have a young team, with one senior and two juniors. The rest are freshmen and sophomores. McHenry took first place in all three frosh/soph relays and saw individual first-place finishes from freshman Kevin Braun. Braun won the 50 and 100 freestyle events in record-setting fashion. He smashed the 100 freestyle meet record by more than four seconds and the 50 freestyle mark by nearly a second.

Fired Spoden hopes his mistake teaches others By JEFF ARNOLD

jarnold@shawmedia.com

Steve Spoden knows his way of communicating isn’t for everyone. There are times when his sentences are laced with too many obscenities. There have been occasions when his intensity has been mistaken by outsiders for cruelty. He was their rock. After Marian Central’s season-ending loss to rival Montini, as players stood in a circle listening to the coaching staff’s words while many players cried, Spoden demanded that they “man up” and stand strong and proud. A month after the 13-year Marian

assistant football coach was fired for a Facebook post in which he suggested taking a bat to the knees of Montini’s players and carpet bombing the town, he remains remorseful. Not because he was fired. Not because he’s hoping for a second chance with the program he loves, coaching players he refers to as “my boys.” It’s because he understands he made a mistake and knows part of moving on is owning it. Spoden acknowledges that when taken at face value, his words sounded “terrible.” But he said last week people may think differently if they understand what he was trying to accomplish with the post, He admits he

never should have written what he did, but insists if taken in the context representing his intention, the message isn’t as severe as it came off. “If I could take it back, I would, obviously,” Spoden said. “I feel like I got my heart ripped out of my chest. I was there Steve for a long time, and Spoden those kids are like my own. And now, I really can’t have any contact with them, and it hurts. It really does.” Spoden says he doesn’t have any excuses. He said he had only been a

Facebook user for two months before he sent a message to one of Marian’s players, trying to console him after being eliminated from the playoffs by Montini for a third straight season. Spoden called Montini coach Chris Andriano and wrote a letter apologizing for his actions. The letter was read at the Broncos’ seasonending banquet, which followed their fourth straight state championship. Currently looking for work, Spoden – who has degrees in psychology and counseling – realizes that while he can’t go back and correct the past, his mistake can keep high school athletes or coaches from

falling into the same trap. As a preventive measure, Spoden deactivated his Facebook account. He was never active on Twitter and was unaware of a feed, @(Stuff) SpodenSays, is active, dedicated to some of the colorful phrases he used during his coaching career. Again, he understands his words aren’t for everyone. But Spoden said his concern for players shouldn’t be lost. “It was my responsibility to put something on [Facebook] that can’t be mistaken for something that it isn’t,” Spoden said. “But I don’t have anyone to blame what’s happened to me, but me.”

Crete-Monee football star Treadwell gains more than 12,000 followers • SOCIAL MEDIA Continued from page C1

Crete-Monee senior Laquon Treadwell saw his Twitter followers rise to more than 12,000 the weeks leading up to Thursday, when he announced he’d continue his football career at Mississippi. Treadwell (@SuccessfulQuon) who played a starring role in the Warriors’ state championship win over Cary-Grove in November, is considered by recruiting sites the top receiving prospect in the nation. He said last week he uses Twitter as a way not only of communicating with fans, but to also control the message when rumors began piling up about where he’d play in college after narrowing his field to Ole Miss, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. Treadwell said he tries to remain positive but knows people are watching his every move and that he has to be cautious about what he puts on the social media site. “You really have to watch it because someone’s out there that’s going to try and make you look bad and make what you said bigger than it really is,” Treadwell said. “I think [Twitter] gives you a chance to back yourself up with everything that is being said about you.” Communicating with unintended audiences is one of the largest social media slipping points facing high school users, according to Karen Weaver, a professor in Drexel University’s sports management department. She travels the country as a social media expert speaking to athletes and coaches. Weaver, a former athletic director at Penn State-Abington and NCAA Division I field hockey coach, said too many high school athletes operate on social media sites without realizing there are often consequences for posts that drift out of the bounds of decency.

Rather than traditional print and digital media sites that may take their youth into consideration when printing comments, Twitter and Facebook provide an open forum that doesn’t discriminate. “Sometimes, young folks under the age of 21 or 22 don’t really see the longer-term implications,” Weaver said. “They don’t see the immediate impact, which is, anybody can see what I’ve written – not just my followers or my friends. “The longer-term impact is that it exists in the digital world forever.”

HARD LESSONS

The harshness of operating within a vast social media world is one that Spoden has been forced to come to grips with since being fired at Marian Central. “I broke every rule I’ve set forth for my kids,” Spoden said last week. “That’s what upsets me the most … I forgot my own rule.” Like many other area high school sports programs, Marian Central doesn’t have specific social media guidelines outside of players not saying or posting anything that could be misconstrued as detrimental to their own team or opponents. But there are consequences for those who don’t follow the rules. Johnsburg boys basketball coach Mike Toussaint (@CoachTous) said one of his players was suspended a game earlier this season for breaking that rule. While Twitter regulars such as Toussaint, Czeslawski and Woodstock boys basketball coach Al Baker (@Coach_ Al_Baker) say they don’t have time or the interest to monitor their players’ social media accounts, their most basic rule is the same. “Eventually, things are going to come out and so (I tell players) ‘Use your head,’ ” Toussaint said. “If you say it,

Crystal Lake South running back Zevin Clark (@ ZevinClark) has used Facebook and Twitter to communicate with college football coaches or learn about programs. Clark says social media became a convenient way to market himself to potential football suitors. But Clark, who plans to play at either Northern Illinois or Division II West Virginia State next year, said he was guilty of posting with offensive language. But when Spoden was fired, he stopped. “Before, I just posted what came to mind and I just left it at that,” said Clark, who said many of his Facebook friends are younger fans. “I didn’t really care what I posted. “Now, I’m more careful or concerned. I have to think it over before I post it.” Like Clark, Stirneman (@ Kurtisstirneman) is more aware of who is viewing his posts. Included among his fol-

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL

More questions likely for Te’o By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Manti Te’o tried to put one of the strangest sports stories in memory behind him, insisting he was the target of an elaborate online hoax in which he fell for a fake woman created by pranksters, then admitting his own lies made the bizarre ordeal worse. Whether his off-camera interview with ESPN was enough to demonstrate that the Notre Dame star linebacker was a victim in the scheme instead of a participant is still an open question. The most important judges of the All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist may be pro football teams. Te’o has finished his coursework at Notre Dame and is preparing for the NFL draft at an elite training facility in Florida, where the 2½-hour interview was conducted late Friday. ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap said the 21-year-old Te’o answered all his questions in a calm voice, and tried to clear up the mysteries and inconsistencies of the case. Among the highlights: • Te’o denied being in on the hoax. “No. Never,” he said. “I wasn’t faking it. I wasn’t part of this.” • Te’o provided a timeline and details of his relationship

AP photo/ESPN images, Ryan Jones

Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o pauses during an interview with ESPN on Friday in Bradenton, Fla. with Lennay Kekua, his virtual sweetheart, who went through an array of medical calamities before “dying” of Leukemia in September, just hours after Te’o got real news of his grandmother’s death. • He acknowledged he lied to his father about meeting Kekua in person, then exacerbated the situation after her supposed death when he “tailored” his comments to reporters to make it sound as if their relationship was more than just phone calls and electronic messages. “I even knew, that it was crazy that I was with somebody that I didn’t meet, and that alone – people find out that this girl who died, I was so invested in, I didn’t meet her, as well,” Te’o said. “So I kind of tailored my stories to have people think that, yeah, he met her before she passed away, so that people wouldn’t think that I was some

crazy dude.” In the same part of the conversation, Te’o said: “Out of this whole thing, that is my biggest regret. And that is the biggest, I think, that’s from my point of view, that is a mistake I made.” • He detailed the confusing phone conversation he had Dec. 6, when the woman who was posing as Kekua contacted him and told him one last hardto-believe story about how she had to fake her own death to evade drug dealers. Te’o said it left him piecing together what exactly was going on over the next few days, when he was bouncing from interview to interview while taking part in the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York on Dec. 8 and another awards dinner in Los Angeles the next night. He mentioned his girlfriend in interviews at least three times over that period. • Even after he went to his parents, coaches and Notre Dame officials with the story by Dec. 26, and the school provided an investigation that it says corroborated Te’o’s version by Jan. 4, the player told ESPN it was not until Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a 22-year-old acquaintance who lives in California, contacted him Wednesday and confessed to the prank, that he finally believed Kekua was not real.

Mike Toussaint Johnsburg boys basketball coach @CoachTous

lowers are assistant coaches from Ohio University, Bowling Green and Iowa State along with the wife of Wyoming’s football coach, making him increasingly cautious of what he’s posting. Stirneman said Marian Central administrators monitor students’ social media accounts and that he was called into a school administrator’s office for using the word “damn” in a Tweet after the Wyoming recruiting trip. He says the school’s assistant principal chided him for the obscenity, requesting that he didn’t have to edit his social media content in the future. While the disciplinary warning was relatively tame, Weaver says it’s an example that nothing that exists in the social media universe is completely private. Since 2008, the Library of Congress has compiled an archive of every tweet. “It’s not a matter of if it’s going to be discovered,” Weaver said. “It’s a matter of if something does, who’s going to bring it to [admin-

istrator’s] attention. People know when it’s inappropriate, and chances are, it’s going to make its way to a head coach or a principal’s office.”

COACHES’ DECISIONS

While coaches such as Toussaint won’t forbid players from posting on social media, he’d rather they avoid it. Toussaint joined Twitter as a way of communicating with fellow coaches and as a way of promoting his team. He uses the site to post game schedules, practice times and results while picking up helpful information posted by his coaching colleagues, inlcuding Woodstock’s Baker and Central’s Czeslawski. Cary-Grove football coach Brad Seaburg isn’t a fan of social media. He says he has better things to do and doesn’t want to put his thoughts out for interpretation by the general public. He knows his players are on Facebook and Twitter but said he has no interest in monitoring their activity. Seaburg said he addresses concerns as they come up, but said with so many players under his watch, he can’t possibly oversee every aspect of their lives. “It’s a lot like parenting – you can’t be around them 24 hours a day,” Seaburg said. “You have to hope they make wise decisions and they do the right things and hope they follow the values you have tried to instill in them.” But Weaver said teenagers often proceed unaware that their interactions can come to define them to college coaches or potential employers. “What happens is that students take that same assumption of protection, and it’s almost like a cocoon,” Weaver said. “And with Twitter and Facebook, that’s not the case.” While coaches have adjusted to social media, for some it can be too revealing. Last

year, after disciplining one of his players for violating team policy, Toussaint learned that a parent had angrily taken his decision to task on Facebook. Toussaint refuses to “friend” his players on Facebook, an action Weaver said is dangerous because it blurs the line between coach and player. Since then, Toussaint has been leery about posting anything more than official notices, rarely using his Twitter account for anything but official basketball business. “It’s probably more of a negative for high school athletes or coaches to be involved with it,” Toussaint said. “Sometimes, people get caught up in the moment and it’s an easy way to release, ‘Hey – I’m upset.’ ” Last week, after the Dundee-Crown boys basketball team lost a double-overtime thriller to rival Jacobs, D-C student and Chargers fan Tim Olson tweeted, “Can’t help the refs favor Jacobs, we played our hearts out.” It didn’t take long for Jacobs guard Will Schwerdtmann to reply. “You serious”,” Schwerdtmann tweeted to Olson. “The refs didn’t hit those 3’s. The refs didn’t turn the ball over 3 straight times in overtime. #dontbeasoreloser Remaining cautious on social media is a lesson Stirneman, who said he resisted posting anything on Twitter or Facebook immediately after Marian’s season-ending loss to Montini, will carry with him into his Wyoming football career. He has, after all, seen firsthand what can be lost. “Sometimes, you have to realize that you need to keep your emotions in check as much as possible,” Spoden said. “But sometimes they slip out. You’ve got to be careful of what you say. Sometimes, you say things that are taken completely out of context.”

STAN MUSIAL: 1920-2013

CUBS CONVENTION

St Louis, and baseball, lose Stan – ‘TheMan’ By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Stan Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals star with the corkscrew stance and too many batting records to fit on his Hall of Fame plaque, died Saturday. He was 92. Stan the Man was so revered in St. Louis that he has two statues outside Busch Stadium – one just wouldn’t do him justice. He was one of baseball’s greatest hitters, shining in the mold of Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio even without the bright lights of the big city. Musial won seven National League batting titles, was a three-time MVP and helped the Cardinals capture three World Series championships in the 1940s. The Cardinals announced Musial’s death in a news release. They said he died Saturday evening at his home in Ladue surrounded by family. The team said Musial’s son-in-law, Dave Edmonds, informed the club of Musial’s death. “We have lost the most beloved mem-

ber of the Cardinals family,” team chairman William DeWitt Jr. said. “Stan Musial was the greatest player in Cardinals history and one of the best players in the history of baseball.” Musial spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and made the All-Star team 24 times – baseball held two All-Star games each summer for a few seasons. A pitcher in the low minors until he injured his arm, Musial turned to playing the outfield and first base. It was a stroke of luck for him, as he went on to hit .331 with 475 home runs before retiring in 1963. Widely considered the greatest Cardinals player ever, the outfielder and first baseman was the first person in team history to have his number retired. Ol’ 6 probably was the most popular, too, especially after Albert Pujols skipped town. At the suggestion of a pal, actor John Wayne, he carried around autographed cards of himself to give away. He enjoyed doing magic tricks for kids and was fond of pulling out a harmonica to entertain

Hall of Famer Stan Musial gets ready to throw out the ceremonial first pitch Oct. 27, 2006, before Game 5 of the World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers in St. Louis. Musial, one of baseball’s greatest hitters and a Hall of Famer with the Cardinals for more than two decades, died Saturday the team announced. He was 92. crowds with a favorite, “The Wabash Cannonball.” Humble, scandal-free, and eager to play every day, Musial struck a chord with fans throughout the Midwest and beyond. For much of his career, St. Louis was the most western outpost in the majors, and the Cardinals’ vast radio network spread word about him in all directions.

EARL WEAVER: 1930-2013

Fiery Oriole’s manager dead at 82 By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press

BALTIMORE – Earl Weaver always was up for an argument, especially with an umpire. At the slightest provocation, the Earl of Baltimore would spin his hat back, point his finger squarely at an ump’s chest and then fire away. The Hall of Fame manager would even tangle with his own players, if necessary. All this from a 5-foot-6 pepperpot who hated to be doubted. Although reviled by some, Weaver was beloved in Baltimore and remained an Oriole to the end. The notoriously feisty Hall of Fame manager died at age 82

on a Caribbean cruise associated with the Orioles, his marketing agent said Saturday. “Earl was a black and white manager,” former O’s ace and Hall of Fame member Jim Palmer said Saturday. “He kind of told you what your job description was going to be and kind of basically told you if you wanted to play on the Orioles, this was what you needed to do. And if you couldn’t do it, I’ll get someone else. I know that’s kind of tough love, but I don’t think anyone other than Marianna, his wife, would describe Earl as a warm and fuzzy guy.” Weaver took the Orioles to the World Series four times over 17 seasons but won only one title, in 1970. His .583 winning percentage ranks fifth

among managers who served 10 or more seasons in the 20th century. Dick Gordon said Weaver’s wife told him that Weaver went back to his cabin after dinner and began choking between 10:30 and 11 Friday night. Gordon said a cause of death has not been determined. “It’s a sad day. Earl was a terrific manager,” Orioles vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said. “The simplicity and clarity of his leadership and his passion for baseball was unmatched. He’s a treasure for the Orioles. He leaves a terrific legacy of winning baseball with the Orioles and we’re so grateful for his contribution. He has a legacy that will live on.”

No. 13 Butler upsets No. 8 Gonzaga the assoCIateD PRess

INDIANAPOLIS – Roosevelt Jones stole an inbound pass with 3.5 seconds left and hit a floater from just inside the foul line right before the buzzer to help No. 13 Butler upset No. 8 Gonzaga 64-63 on Saturday night. Jones finished with 20 points and the Bulldogs have now won 13 in a row including two straight without their top scorer, Rotnei Clarke. It’s the first time Butler (16-2, 3-0 Atlantic 10) has ever beaten three top 10 teams in one season. They also defeated No. 9 North Carolina in November and No. 1 Indiana in December. Gonzaga (17-2, 4-0 West Coast Conference) was led by Saw Dower and Elias Harris who each had 20 points. The loss ended the Zags eight-game winning streak. The game was considered the biggest nonpower conference matchup of the season, and it met the hype. Trailing 33-32 at the half, Butler scored the first five points of the second half and never trailed again until Elias Harris scored with 1:24 to go the teams traded leads on the next four possessions before Jones won it.

no. 18 Michigan state 59, no. 11 Ohio state 56: At East Lansing, Mich.,

Keith Appling made two free throws with 7.9 seconds left and finished with 15 points for Michigan State. The Buckeyes had a chance to potentially tie the game in the closing seconds, but Shannon Scott didn’t come close on a running 3-point attempt. Deshaun Thomas scored a career Big Ten-high 28 points, including six 3-pointers.

The Spartans (16-3, 5-1 Big Ten) have won five straight conference games. Ohio State (13-4, 3-2) was playing for the first time since handing Michigan its only loss last Jan. 13.

no. 20 notre Dame 69, rutgers 66:

At South Bend, Ind., Jack Cooley had 19 points, 10 rebounds and blocked a shot with 2 seconds left to help No. 20 Notre Dame hang on for a win over Rutgers, ending a two-game losing streak for the Fighting Irish. Rutgers used a 6-1 run late to close to 67-66 when Eli Carter scored on a layup with 7 seconds left then forced a held ball on Eric Atkins two seconds later. Carter drove inside for the layup, but Cooley blocked the shot. Atkins then made a pair of free throws for the Irish (15-3, 3-2 Big East). Myles Mack’s 3-point attempt at the buzzer missed as the Scarlet Knights (14-4, 3-3) lost for the ninth straight time at Notre Dame.

Cincinnati 71, no. 25 Marquette 69 (OT): At Cincinnati, Sean Kilpatrick

scored seven of his career-high 36 points in overtime Saturday night, and Cincinnati (16-3, 4-2 Big East) blew a 16-point lead before rallying to a victory over Marquette, ending the Bearcats’ streak of three straight home losses. nebraska 68, penn state 64: At State College, Pa., Shavon Shields scored a career-high 29 points, Ray Gallegos had 15 points and Nebraska held off Penn State. Penn State trailed by three points with 24 seconds left in the game before Nebraska’s (10-9, 1-5 Big Ten) Brandon Ubel was called for a flagrant foul on D.J. Newbill. The foul gave Penn State (8-10, 0-6) two extra free throws.

purdue 79, west virginia 52: At West Lafayette, Ind., D.J. Byrd scored 17 points to help Purdue defeat West Virginia. Rapheal Davis added 16 points, Anthony Johnson 12 and Terone Johnson 11 for the Boilermakers (10-8), who won their third straight. Purdue shot 49 percent from the field and outrebounded the Mountaineers 44-34. Eron Harris scored 10 points for West Virginia (8-9), which barely surpassed its season low of 50 points. iowa 70, wisconsin 66: At Iowa City, Iowa, Aaron White scored 17 points and Iowa hung on to beat Wisconsin 70-66 on Saturday night, knocking the Badgers out of first place in the Big Ten. Devyn Marble added 13 for the Hawkeyes (13-5, 2-3 Big Ten), which picked up their biggest win of the season on the 20th anniversary of the death of former player Chris Street. Wisconsin (13-5, 4-1) hit just one basket in the first 10 minutes of the game and Gabe Olaseni’s lay-up put the Hawkeyes ahead by 20 with 4:56 left in the first half. bradley 69, Missouri state 66: At Peoria, Walt Lemon Jr. drove the length of the court and banked in a running 3-pointer at the buzzer, giving Bradley (12-7, 4-3 Missouri Valley) a victory over Missouri State (5-14, 3-4). st. John’s 71, Depaul 62: At Rosemont, Jamal Branch scored 18 points to lead St. John’s to a 71-62 victory over DePaul on Saturday.

Refinance options for FHA borrowers

There is a little known opportunity for current FHA-financed homeowners to refinance into today’s record low interest rates without incurring the hefty Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium that FHA charges on new mortgage loans. The program also reduces the monthly mortgage insurance premium charged on FHA loans to a 0.55 percent factor as opposed to the 1.20 to 1.25 percent factor charged annually on new FHA loans. Also, since the transaction is referred to as a “Streamline Refinance,” no appraisal is required. Value of the home is obtained from FHA based on the last transaction they made to take out their current FHA loan. Even if the current home value is less than the balance of the loan, it is not a threat to this type of transaction. According to Don Monsen, branch manager for Wintrust Mortgage in Crystal Lake, there are a few restrictions to the program: • The current FHA loan must have been endorsed by FHA prior to May 31, 2009. This date keeps FHA in line with the cutoff date for conventional loan homeowners to be eligible for the popular Home Affordable Refinance Program. • The homeowner must be current on his existing loan payments, no more than one 30-day late payment in the last 12 months, none in the last three months. • Homeowners must “credit qualify.” Generally speaking, they must have stable monthly income and a good credit history to qualify for the new loan. According to Monsen, an example of the savings available on this reduced fee FHA refinance loan: Original FHA loan closed in March 2009, $180,000, 30-year fixed FHA mortgage at 5 percent interest. The homeowner is paying a principal/ interest payment of $966.28 month and paying approximately $77.60 per month month for the mortgage insurance premium. Upon making the Jan. 1, 2013, mortgage payment, the balance was $169,320, assuming the homeowner paid the required payment each month and no additional principal. “Their new FHA loan cannot exceed $170,000 (rounding), the upfront mortgage insurance premium is $17 paid one time only, at closing,” Monsen said. “The monthly principal and interest payment is $739.85 per month and the new monthly mortgage insurance premium is $77.92 or total savings of $226.11 a month.” Monsen said the homeowner also has an option to reduce the term of the new loan to a 25-year term and still save $123 per month. “The savings are significant, but the savings are magnified when compared to an FHA loan that is not eligible for the reduced refinance factors,” Monsen said. “If originally endorsed after May 2009, the Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium must either be paid in cash or financed (added to) with the new loan. If financed, the loan amount rises to $172,975. The monthly mortgage insurance also dramatically increases if not eligible for the reduced fees (post May 2009) to as much as $177.08 a month.” He said these two factors combine to eat up a large chunk of the monthly savings for original post May 2009 FHA-refinance loans. Still, a new 30-year fixed rate FHA mortgage can save $114 a month as compared to their existing payment, but the savings are not as dramatic. “I have not seen the FHA program publicized or discussed anywhere near the extent of the HARP programs,” Monsen said “There are literally thousands of FHA-financed homeowners in McHenry County who are eligible for the FHA reduced fee refinance program. I’m just looking to see that the word gets out. Most, if not all of these folks can use the extra money each month.” For more information, email dmonsen@wintrustmortgage.com.

Jim O’Leary, owner of Copy Express in Woodstock, stands in his business located in the historic Feed Mill on Calhoun Street.

Pulse of Woodstock

Independent Copy Express broadens customer base Copy Express

By SARAH SUTSCHEK

ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – First and foremost, Copy Express is a printer. The Woodstock business, housed in the historic Feed Mill on Calhoun Street, prints standard fare for its customers: envelopes, forms, flyers, letterhead. But over the years, adapting to the quickly-changing print marketplace with an emphasis on digital, Copy Express diversified, printing on banners, pens, even blueprints, with a graphic designer on on staff to help. Some people like to utilize an independent, family-owned business, while others favor the name recognition that comes with a chain store. But owner Jim O’Leary said he believes he has that name recognition because Copy Express has so many years under its belt. O’Leary bought half an interest in Copy Express in the late 1970s, and then bought out the other half in 2001. He and his wife now own the company. Autonomy has other advantages. “Sometimes the market changes quickly, and we’re not tied to anybody else’s restrictions on what we can or cannot do,” O’Leary said. “If we decide we need to start selling a dif-

Digitization has led to an attrition of printers, but O’Leary said that has brought him new customers. He compared it to the housing market. Now is a good time to buy a house; now is a great time to get new customers. “I think our customer base is broader than it used to be,” O’Leary said. “We’re doing smaller jobs, but more of them.” His customers may want to drive people to a website, but they’ll send out a postcard, for example, encouraging people to log on. “To me, we will always have a place in the media market,” O’Leary said. “There will always be a need at some level for print. It’s just kind of hard to say what it will be.” Shari Gray, executive direc-

The theme of this year’s calendar by Copy Express commemorates the 20th anniversary of the movie “Groundhog Day.” tor of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, said Copy Express has been a longstanding member and a great community partner. “From a chamber standpoint, we support all members that are part of the business community,” Gray said. But independent business owners like O’Leary and Copy Express are the pulse of Woodstock, and they are an easy business to form a partnership with, she said. “They are visible within the community and they do a lot of networking,” Gray said. The business also puts out a calendar, and this year’s theme

commemorates the 20th anniversary of “Groundhog Day.” O’Leary remembers when the movie was filmed in Woodstock and Columbia Pictures used his business to print copies of the script. “We thought, ‘This doesn’t sound like much of a movie. I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere,” O’Leary said. But the movie’s title turned into a common phrase – “This is like Groundhog Day” – so O’Leary’s initial impression wasn’t exactly spot on. The calender can be found at the Woodstock chamber and at Copy Express. The first copy is free; additional copies are $5.

Key provisions of American Taxpayer Relief Act

The 112th Congress was recently dubbed the “Do Nothing Congress” for the minimal amount of legislation enacted during the two-year session. Two hours after going over the fiscal cliff at midnight on Jan. 1, the Senate voted 89-8, and the House of Representatives voted 257-167 to pass the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 to reverse some of the measures which may have had a severe negative impact upon the economy. The Congressional Budget Office projects the legislation will add $4 trillion to the U.S. deficit over the next 10 years compared to a scenario where the Bush tax cuts had been allowed to expire. The Senate bill also sets up what

is likely to be an even more heated fight in late February when the Treasury Department must come to Congress to seek an increase in the government’s borrowing limit. Among the key provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012: • Tax rates will be allowed to rise on individual incomes over $400,000 per year, and household incomes over $450,000 per year to a maximum rate of 39.6 percent. • The tax on estates would rise to a 40 percent maximum rate, with a permanent exemption of $5.25 million, indexed for inflation. • Permanently sets maximum long-term capital gain and dividend tax rates at 20 percent for house-

FINANCE Mike Piershale holds making more than $450,000. • Phases out itemized deductions and personal exemptions for those making more than $250,000, $300,000 joint. • Permanently sets maximum long-term capital gain and dividend tax rates at 15 percent for households making less than $450,000. • The 2 percent temporary decrease in FICA payroll taxes relief was allowed to expire. This provision has a disproportionate impact on those making less than $113,700

(the FICA limit in 2013). This is expected to take $125 billion out of consumer income. • Extends the tuition tax credit and child and dependent care tax credits for five years. • Workers will be allowed to rollover 401(k) funds to a Roth IRA while still actively participating in a 401(k) plan. Think of it as an ‘InService’ distribution. • Permanent adoption of the Alternative Minimum Tax exemption amounts.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

Tuesday, Jan. 22

Be tightfisted until the health crisis is over Dear Dave,

Recently, my husband had to quit his job due to an old back injury. We have $25,000 in debt, but I’ll be receiving a $38,000 inheritance in a couple of weeks. Should we use the money to pay off our debt, or hold on to it in case he needs surgery?

– Kristen

Dear Kristen,

Now is the time to keep the cash piled high. You’re in the middle of an emergency, and that means you push the pause button on your Total Money Makeover and stop paying extra on debt. Surgery is a possibility at this point, plus you may need some of that money to live on until his job situation improves. Then, the moment he returns to work and things are stabilized, you jump back into getting control of your finances. Use whatever is left of the $38,000 to pay off debt that very day. But right now you don’t need to worry about becoming debt-free, only to turn around and be in a mess in the event he has trouble finding another job. Let me give you a warning too. Thirty-eight thousand dollars is a great gift. If someone handed me a check for that amount, I’d cash it in a heartbeat. But it’s not $380,000 or $3.8 million. It’s easy to develop a false sense of security if you’ve never received a check of that size. This kind of money is enough to keep the wolf away from the door for a while, but it’s nothing to retire on. This little nest egg is a real blessing, Kristen. Just make sure you handle it wisely, and take into account all of the possibilities over the next couple of months. In a best-case scenario your husband won’t need surgery, he’ll find a job pretty soon, and you guys won’t have to dig in to the inheritance money. Hang on to as much as possible, though. This sounds like a time of personal and professional transition for you both, and having that kind of extra cash around could be a lifesaver!

– Dave

Dear Dave, My husband and I are on Baby Step 2 of your plan. We move every two or three years due to our jobs, so would it ever make sense in our situation to buy a house?

– Janelle

Dear Janelle, In most cases like this it doesn’t make sense to buy a house, especially if the real estate market in your area is lethargic. Some markets have bounced back and are doing very well, while some are worse than slow. It all depends on where you’re moving. Here’s the big question: Can you get the place sold quickly the next time you have to move? Another thing to consider is whether or not you can sell it for more than it cost when the time comes. If not, you’ll be writing a check for home ownership, and that’s not a good plan. As a general rule, a two- to three-year window is not enough time to own a home. There are rare exceptions to this rule, places where you have a hot, escalating price market. But if you’re not careful you’ll end up leaving behind a rental property and playing landlord, whether you want to or not!

Columbia College recognized for online degree programs GURNEE – Columbia College’s online bachelor’s degree programs and the MBA program were recognized in the second edition of Top Online Education Programs by U.S. News & World Report. Recognition was based on teaching practices and student engagement; faculty credentials and training; and student services and technology. “We are pleased to be recognized by this prestigious organization,” said Dr. Gerald Brouder, president of Columbia College. “We realized the importance of providing online education more than 11 years ago, and since then we’ve redoubled our efforts to enhance our online presence. This recognition is indicative of our commitment to become a model institution.” U.S. News & World Report ranked online bachelor’s degree programs as well as online graduate degree programs in business, engineering, nursing, education and computer information technology.

‘Eat, Breathe, Move’ new theme at Wellness Place NORTHWEST HERALD

PALATINE – Wellness Place Cancer Resource and Support in Palatine has restructured its Community Spotlight Program Calendar, incorporating a new theme: “Eat, Breathe, Move.” The Community Spotlight Programs are workshops and seminars offered free of charge to the public and are an integral part of Wellness Place’s mission to support those affected by cancer. The “Eat, Breathe, Move” theme is aimed at achieving and maintaining optimal health through the holistic treatment of mind, body and spirit. “Research over the last decade has consistently shown that nutrition, stress reduction and consistent physical activity not only aid in the successful treatment of cancer and other illnesses but may actually help to prevent certain illnesses,” said Kathy Scortino, clinical director for Wellness Place. “As a center committed to supporting overall health, Wellness Place is adopting this new programming theme to best offer accessible, understandable, and usable ways to incorporate a holistic approach to health into our daily lives.” Newly-appointed Wellness Place program manager Sandra Manley is heading up

the task of developing and implementing this new set of support-based programs. “Wellness Place’s objective is to provide access to new ideas which empower our community, therefore aiding overall wellness,” Manley said. “The goal of ‘Eat, Breathe, Move’ is to offer the latest information to cancer survivors to assist them in taking back control of their health.” The 2013 “Eat, Breathe, Move” program calendar will include classes, workshops and seminars, each focusing on one of three categories: nutrition, stress reduction and physical activity. Programs that are categorized under the “Eat” element of the theme will stress nutritional information, including issues specific to cancer patients such as tools for battling nausea and updates from experienced oncology dietitians. The “Breathe” category of programs will offer the latest information on stress management and meditative techniques, especially those resources that have been proven to help cancer patients. “We want people to be able to focus their energy on healing versus focusing on their stress,” Scortino said. “There are many opportunities this year for people to learn new skills and obtain better tools and resources to

reduce the stress and anxiety that can come with diagnosis and treatment.” Wellness Place will be collaborating with the Buehler YMCA in Palatine for the “Move” segment of upcoming programs. This segment is intended to motivate community members to incorporate healthy exercise into daily life. Research has shown that cancer survivors who exercise regularly have lower rates of depression. Wellness Place, 1619 W. Colonial Parkway, Palatine, offers professional support free of charge to individuals, families and caregivers affected by cancer. Programs and services help manage emotional and physical responses to treatment, sort through options and side effects, formulate questions for doctors, and communicate matters to family and employers. Since 2010, Wellness Place has been providing services at the offices of North Shore Oncology in Crystal Lake to people who have been diagnosed with cancer. On-site counseling services include distress screening, individual counseling and support group facilitation. For more information about the organization, visit www.wellnessplace.org or call 847- 221-2400.

The Joint Commission has announced its new Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Accreditation program, and for the first time is offering a Rehabilitation and Advanced Care Certification option. The Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Ac creditation program, which replaces the Long Term Care Accreditation program, is designed to help providers

achieve, maintain and demonstrate excellence in the services they provide. Both the accreditation program and certification option are the products of a year-long reinvention project which gathered input from consumers, providers, payers and other stakeholders. The reinvented standards, survey process and certification option will be effective on July 1.

The certification option recognizes the more advanced rehabilitation services provided to patients in nursing and rehabilitation centers, while continuing to elevate the quality of care provided to all those served within their organization.

Recovering condo market helped boost December sales NORTHWEST HERALD

CHICAGO – Propelled by strong condominium sales in Cook County, attached homes led the metro Chicago real estate market to its most active December since 2006, according to Re/Max. Combined sales of attached and detached homes in the seven-county metro area were up 20 percent to 7,281 units when compared to the same month last year. Sales of attached homes rose 23 percent to 2,661 units. The median sales price for all homes sold in December was 5.5 percent higher than in December 2011, reaching $153,000, while the median sales price for attached homes climbed 7.5 percent to $123,600. The average market time, which is the average number of days a home sold in December was on the market before a sales contract was signed, dipped to 138 days for all homes, down from 174 days in December 2011. Those findings are based on an analysis of transaction data compiled by Midwest Real Estate Data, LLC, the regional multiple listing service. Total December home sales activity rose in each of the seven counties when compared to year-earlier results. Kendall County (177 units sold) and McHenry County (343 units sold) had sales gains of 26 percent. In Lake County, sales were up 25 percent to 682 units. Sales also rose 21 percent in Cook County (4,188 units sold), 14 percent in DuPage County (798 units sold), 16 percent in Kane County (502 units sold) and 10 percent in Will County (590 units sold). Sales in the city of Chicago rose 16 percent to 1,853 units, and the city also recorded a 16 percent year-over-year gain in the median sales price for the second consecutive month. The December median was $179,900. On the pricing front, re-

Gains were achieved in Cook (up 8 percent to $150,000), Kane (up 9 percent to $142,270) and Will (up 12 percent to $155,000) when compared to December 2011. The median price in DuPage County was unchanged at $185,000, while it declined in Kendall (down 2 percent to $146,470), Lake (down 5 percent to $156,500) and McHenry (down 1 percent to $138,500). Sales of distressed homes (foreclosures and short sales) totaled 3,227 units in December, a 15 percent increase compared to the same month in 2011. These properties accounted for 44 percent of all December transactions in the seven-county area, up from 43 percent in November. The median sales price of a distressed home rose 6 percent to $92,000, compared to $87,000 in December of last year. Sales of attached homes (primarily condominium apartments and townhouses) recorded strong increases in some portions of the metro market. In Lake County, sales soared 55 percent in December to 164 units compared to just 106 units 12 months earlier. Strong gains in sales activity were also seen in Kendall County (up 26 percent to 54 units). DuPage (287 units sold) and McHenry (65 units sold) counties both gained 23 percent. Kane County had a more modest gain of 8 percent on 95 units sold, and Will County sales activity fell 7 percent to 115 units. In Cook County, sales rose to 1,881 units, 24 percent more than in December 2011, and those transactions accounted for 71 percent of the total attached market in the metro area. The median sales price for attached units in Cook County climbed a robust 12 percent to $140,000. In Chicago, attached sales

were 18 percent higher than in December 2011, totaling 1,045 units, and the median price bounded up 31 percent to $235,000.

The median price declined 0.5 percent in Lake County to $109,500, 4 percent in DuPage County to $108,000 and 19 percent in Kendall County to $81,000. Sales activity also climbed in the detached-home market, rising 18 percent in December across the metro area.

Dividing your retirement plan in divorce

Traditionally, January is the busiest month of the year for divorce filings. There is no added legal benefit to filing this month but many think it is most popular because the Christmas holidays have caused an imminent filing to be pushed off. Of course, this year might even be busier than most because of the uncertain economy. Here are some tips to help you understand one of your largest marital assets and some details of dividing it with your soon to be ex-spouse. Dividing retirement plans. A portion of a retirement plan earned during your marriage can be categorized as a martial asset. The non-owner spouse can receive their share of the future benefit or the benefit can be future valued and offset. These plans include 401(k), 403(b), pension plans, IRA plans, and more.

401(k), 403(b) and pension plans. Dividing an employee-sponsored plan like this between divorcees requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). This legal document divides the retirement benefits of a work related retirement plan. Not using a QDRO may expose the divorcing parties and future withdrawals to taxes and early-withdrawal penalties. Plan sponsor approval. The plan sponsor needs to approve the QDRO/ proposed division ahead of the court. They will have strict stipulations about divisions of their plan in divorce and will have the final approval in how the agreement is drafted. They can show you a sample QDRO for your review. Use percentages when negotiating. Negotiate benefits you are dividing as a percentage instead of a

Finance Graham Craig hard dollar amount, to guard against market volatility; if underlying plan investments lose value (or gain value) between the time the divorce is filed and the day the account is divided one spouse may be awarded more than the other. Using percentages insures the agreement remains intact and avoids the inequity of having one spouse owe the other more than was intended due to market volatility. Your QDRO should be finalized ahead of your completed divorce settlement and should be drafted by your attorney and financial adviser. If your spouse remarries, leaves the

company or dies ahead of the finalized QDRO it may be very difficult for you to receive negotiated benefits. IRA and Roth IRA plans. Dividing an IRA or Roth IRA because of divorce doesn’t require a QDRO. Make the transfer of the IRA to an ex-spouse after the divorce is final. If the account owner transfers the IRA before the divorce is final, they might be taxed on the distribution and possibly incur an early-distribution penalty. An IRA transfer should be done by direct transfer (trustee-to-trustee). Never take a distribution from the IRA in the form of a check from an ex-spouse, that account owner will be taxed on that distribution. When part or all of an IRA is transferred, the new owner is deemed the original account owner for their share and would inherit

the original tax basis as their own. Copies of appropriate records should be maintained for tax basis of the original account. Have patience. This process will have long-term effects on you. Having a professional team in place may cut down on litigation costs and prevent you from making irreversible blunders regarding your settlement. The team should consist of a divorce lawyer, a family therapist and a certified divorce financial analyst. Remember: Insure that you are designing a division of marital assets and retirement plans that address your future needs and enlist the help of your professional team to guide you.

Making Sure Your Next Job Is the Best Fit Six Questions All Job Seekers Should Ask

By Caroline M.L. Potter

Researching a company can tell you only so much about how your experience would be if you made the transition from candidate to employee. But there are things you can do during the interview process that will help you determine if the opportunity is truly right for you. Career expert Deborah Brown-Volkman discusses six questions all job seekers should ask themselves when pursuing a position.

1. Who’s the Boss?

If you’re in contention for a job, you’ll meet your future supervisor at some point. Pay close attention to how well you get along with this individual, as he will hold the key to your success -- and happiness -- in that position. Says Brown-Volkman, “If you notice on the interview that your boss does not get you or you do not get him or

Your personal finances may dictate that you have to accept something less than your dream job. “I work with many clients who agreed to less-than-perfect positions believing they would stay for just one year,” Brown-Volkman says. “But that one year frequently became two, and then more, even though the jobs were not satisfying.” If you’re taking a job just for now, plan your exit strategy. “An interim position is just that,” she says. “Don’t sell out for the long haul.”

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Your chart indicates that in the year ahead, you are likely to be far more fortunate with joint endeavors than independent ventures. Keep this in mind if you ﬁnd something good you’d like to get off the ground. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Even if you feel time is running out for getting done what needs doing, keep a cool head, especially regarding complex endeavors or situations that must move at a measured pace. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Should you ﬁnd yourself in an uncomfortable position of your own making, don’t make matters

worse by succumbing to the temptation to blame others. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It behooves you to be watchful over your prized possessions -- lock your car even when it’s parked in your driveway. The unusual could happen, and you should take precautions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep your impulsive tendencies in check, especially when it comes to sensitive career matters. There’s a strong chance you could create an otherwise avoidable complication. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Instead of

doing the smart thing and bringing a problem out in the open, you might make matters harder by suffering in silence. You can’t resolve what you won’t face. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Friends will appreciate you more if you make some kind of effort to hew to the will of the majority. Regardless of how much better your way is, go with the ﬂow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s important to keep a sense of fair play in all your one-onone relationships, especially when involved with people who are being unreasonable. Set

an example that they will want to follow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Getting along with co-workers might be a bit tougher than usual, so be careful. By being too bossy or arrogant, you would only shatter whatever structure has been holding things together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you ﬁnd yourself involved with someone who, in your opinion, is behaving too wildly, protect your position at all times. Don’t go down with him or her. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a good chance that some petty annoyances

could easily get blown out of proportion by your mate or other family members if things are not handled well. Keep a cool head. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- First and foremost, be safety-conscious at all times when handling unfamiliar tools. If you ﬁnd matters too much to handle, don’t hesitate to turn the entire project over to another. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You need to place more importance on something of an aesthetic nature than you do on anything material. If you do the opposite, the price you’ll pay will be severe.
